LonDOoN, February 9.—Morley’s speech on Parnell’s amendment last night in the Com- mons was excellent and effective, though it contained nothing new. The spirit of it was all condensed into the following concluding words: ‘‘l ask the House whether any session ever began with less hope in the mind of any section of the House, less expectation and ess intention of doing good work. I misun- derstand the temper of the House if there is any buoyant hope or expectation of getting on with legislative business for England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland. I never felt the atmosphere of the House so leaden. I have only one thing more to do- to express my conviction that this leaden, motionless cloud will not lift from our deliber- ations until you have achieved as your first task such reform of the system of Government in Ireland as will meet the needs and secure the confidence of the Irish people.’’ THD EASTERN QUESTION, Tne blue book on the affairs of Bulgaria and Eastern Roumanla, published yesterday, shows Salisbury’s government during last autumn in a very bad light. It confirms the statements that have been made about intrigues on de- half of Alexander, in which the Queen herself has taken part. Indeed, the British agent at Sofia telegraphed that at last the prince ‘‘expressed inthe strongest terms his gratitude to the Queen and her Majesty's Government for the kindness they bad invariably shown him, and hoped they would not add to the difficulty of his very painful position by urging him to re- main in Bulgaria.’ Salisbury applied in turn to the Europeiin Ste, practicaliy for as- sistance in supporting Alexander, but was snubbed allround. It was practically the En- glish Government which brought the Prince back, but he abdicated at the moment Salis- bury believed him most firmly re-established. The result has been the creation of a regency, which, at present, isadanger to European peace. _ — n. A BAD AUGURY. Effect of the Italian Cabinet Crisis on the Peace of Europe. VIENNA, February 9.—The press of this city considers the resignation of Count de Robi- lant, the Italian Foreign Minister, a bad augury for the preservation of European peace. His ritirement, the papers say, will be especially welcome in Russia, where the Italian defeat at Massowah is recognized as be- ing partly the work of Russian assistance to Abyssinians,.

The Respective Forces of the Two Powers— Interesting Facts and Figures. Both in ner land and her sea forces France has a peace effective numerically superior to that of Germany. The difference is greatest in the navs, and there also it could not be mace up, should a war occur at anytime be- fore 1890; yet, though it may seem a contra- diction , inthe navy this French numerical superiority is the least important. Germany has no colonies worth attacking, and her comparatively short coast line at home, where accessible at all, is' well provided with de- fences, while France has a long coast line to guard. Above all, the tremendous vigor with which war on land would be waged between these powers would make it the decisive ele- ment; just as in 1870, when the French naval superiority was perhaps even more marked than to-day, it yetavailed nothing. For this reason it is not important to compare the naval forces of the two countries. The army peace establishment of France is the larger, but in population and potential arms-bearing resources Germany has the ad- vantaye. France has the greater debt and heavier taxes to sustain, but from these taxes the Government receives the ampier appro- priations each year for military and naval purposes. The peace effective of the French army, according to last year’s budget, is 523,288, comprising 81,140 officers and 492,143 enlisted men. Maj. Huberding of the German War Ministry, in reporting recently to the special committee of the Reichstag on the army dil, estimated the French foroe of enlisted men at gregate of 445,417. Thus in the peace effective the advantage is clearly on the side of the French. The news of yesterday, however, announces that 68,200 infantry and 4,800 rifle men, making a total of 73,000 men, of the Ger- man reserves, have been summoned to drill during the present week, so that for the next fortnight the effective force with the colors will be about as great on the German side TURNING TO THE WAR FOOTING, the first addition of France would be what is called the territorial army, which comprises an aggregate of 616,000 officers and men. Other additions might carry the total effective under the first call up to 1,600,000 men, including all arms and staff services. The German mobilization fora war footing, without the landsturm and special organizations, but in- cluding garrison and field reserves, would comprise 35,427 officers and 1,456,677 men, with about 27,000 more tor the medical and col- lateral forces. Thus we see again how close the two mobilizations would come in nu- merical strength. When the landsturm is called out on the one side and its French equivalent on the other, the Germans have an ultimate superiority of numbers, although the French nominally counterpoise the advantage of population by making a larger ratio of their people liable to a military service. Still, so faras numbers are concerned, the French would be much better off at the « utset than in 1870. Were it }possible for them, by a sudden dash, to invade Alsace and Lorraine, and neutralize the advantage in population which their possession gives to the Germans, a new tace might be put upon the struggle. The German fortifications, military skill, and watchfulness, however, and the probabilizy that if there is war this year it will be due to Germany’s taking the initiative, render this contingency unlikely to occur. THE RESPECTIVE FORCES. The difference between the respective or- ganizations of the two forces may be briefly indicated by saying that France is a little the stronger in infantry, about in proportion to the general strength of her peace organiza- tion. She is decidedly the stronger in artil- lery, and especially in the number of her field guns. Maj. Huberding declared tothe Reich- stag thatthe French batteries now contain 452 mounted pieces more than the Ger- man, the latter having 1,404 to the 1,856 of France. On the other hand, the Germans are very much stronger than the French in cavalry, having fully seventy more squadrons and about one-third more total cavairy force. One of the highest cavalry authorities in France declares that the disparity in this respect at the outset would be mch greater, since a large part of the French mounted force is absent in Africa, making the German available force nearly double that of the French. In a week or ten days, however, the absent French cavalry could be recalled, and then the respective strength in this arm would be an aggregate of about 64,000 officers and men for the Germans against 48,000 for the French. VON MOLTKE, An American Officer's Interview with the Great German General. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. PHILADELPHIA, February 9.—Capt. Malbro Frazier, one of the best known military men of Philadeiphia, has returned from a two foe ag > years’ sojourn in a7 8 Europe.

Sit you down. The General, who is 78 years of age, was simply dressed. His coat was single-breasted. Round his neck was the Order of the Iron Cross. We spoke in English, and I consider it remarkable that. he mentioned no names of generals except those of Grant and Hancock. I asked him what his opinion of Grant was. „Gen. Grant’s loss, he replied, was a great loss. He was a great General. He was one of the, greatest Generals that has ever lived.’’ „And Gen. Hancock?’’ „Gen. Hancock was a brave soldier.“ Speaking of German military affairs he ob- served, with the caution that seems character- istic of German officers generally: ‘‘We have long been endeavoring to make the German army the best in Europe, and I am be- ginning to believe that we are succeeding. We are also endeavoring to keep it in a state of onstant preparation. N He did 9 —— — refer to France or French milit affairs.

EVICTING LABORERS. DUBLIN, ray 9.—An extensive farmer named Keating, living near Kilrush, — pease to the erection of a cottage under aborers’ act, evicted his laborers in order to defeat the purposes of the measure. His ex- ample is being followed by other farmers. This threatens to cause a split between the laborers andthe farmers, which would tend to strengthen the landlords. — — — THE EMIN BEY EXPEDITION. Stanley’s the Largest and Most Expensive Ever Sent to Africa, The expedition which Mr. Stanley is about to lead into Africa is by far the largest and most expensive that ever set out on a peaceful mission in the Dark Continent; Traveling in savage countries is always very costly. It has been estimated that the average expense in- curred by exploring parties in Africa is over $15a mile. It costs the English and Algerisn every missionary they landed on the shores of Victoria Nyanza. Stanley’s trip across the continent is said to have cost about $60,000, Dr. Holub, who is now working his way from South Africatothe Great Lakes, took witn him an outit that cost $25,000. The money expended by most important expeditions has varied from $10,000 to $40,000. An explorer’s force of porters and other native assistants varies from about 40 to 250 souls. Mr. Stanley’s present expedition will include about 1,000 persons, and his trayelling outfit and trade goods have cost something over 8100. 000. It must be remembered that he is not only try- ing to adequately supply the needs of his large party, but that he is also carrying much clothing, ammunition, and other supplies to the several hundred persons who are numbered in the little retinue of Emin Pasha, AN EXHIBITION was given in England tne other day of the per- formance of a Maximgun. It was a part ot the military outfit of the Stanley expidi- tion, and the explorer and many promineng men watched the performance ot the weapon with much satisfaction as it poured fortha storm of about six hundred bullets a minute. Here is an expedition that is bound on a mis- sion of humanity and wishes ill to no man. It unfortunately happens, however, that at no time since Burton and Speke penetrated to the Great Lakes in 1858 have times been so troublous in Central Africa as they are now. In Uganda and the region around it, where Stanley said eleven years ago that he travelled us securely as in Europe, the powerful despot M’wanga has within the past two years killed many thousands of people. It is said that in one campaign last year he killed 10,000 soldiers of his northern neighbor, the King of Unyoro. He is the avowed enemy of the whites, one of whom he has murdered, two he has enslaved, and the others who were in his — 21 he has expelled from his country. If Stanley is not able by peaceable means to open the road to Wadelai, if he cannot buy the favor of the ruler of Uganda, he must defend the lives of his party and by force, if needs be, fulfilthe mission he is sent to perform, It ts right that he be supplied with the best appli- ances ot military art. It is believed thatthe man who has not been excelled by any African explorer in the tact and forbearance he bas displayed in his dealings with.the natives may be trusted to use these appliances only if necessity compels their use. Among the Eu- ropeans who will accompany Mr. Stanley is one who is specially qualified to HANDLE THE MAXIM GUN. One of Mr. Stanley's servants will be a boy in his teens, who was among a lot ot littie slaves thatthe explorer bought of the Arabs three years ago. The slaves were starving, and Stanley bought the boys for a few cotton handkerchiefs, and distributed them among the white stations along the Congo. These lads are all fromthe Aruwimi Riyer region, and speak languages which none of the white men onthe Congo have yet acquired. If Mr. Stanley takes the Congo route, as he desires to do, itis very possible that he will ascend the Aruwimi River to reach Emin Pasha. If, when he reaches the Congo, he decides to take this course, it is his intention to collect these boys. as he goes up the river, and make them useful to him as interpreters and peacemakers among their kindred of the Aruwimi tribes. It was his belief when he bought their freedom and distributed these boys along the river to be educated in the white man's arts, that by so doing he was securing so many strong and faithful native helpers for his Congo enter- prise. Itis probable that he little imagined that the next time he visited the spot where he freed them from the shackles of the Arab slave driver, these boys, who have all been doing well, would bo able to render him services of almostincalculable value. -— n THE MONTREAL CARNIVAL, Rain Spoils Outdoor Sports—Big Robbery by American Thieves. OTTAWA, Ont., February 9.—Sir John Lester Kave has completed the organization of a powerful syndicate for the purpose of work- ing ten farms of 10,000 acrés each in the North- west Territory. His associates are all Englishmen and they have decided to place the capital stock atthe highfigu e of £1,300 000. The farming to de carried on will give employment to thousands of persons. Sir John will sail for England from New York on Saturday for the purpose of final ar- rangements. The farms are located at points along the line ofthe Canadian Pacific Rail- road. All the thoroughbred stock for the farms willi be imported from Engiand, BOLD AMERICAN THIEVES. MONTREAL, February 9.—A daring fang of American thieves are in the city attending the carnival. Last evening they smashed the plate-giass windows in Stoddard’s jewelry store, held the doors closed bya pine.board and rifled the windows of $5,000 worth of dia- monds and rings. They afterwards repeated the operation at another jewelry store on Mc- Gill street. This was done while the streets were crowded with people, but no arrests were made. It ls rumored that a plot to rob the Bank of Montreal by the same gang has been discovered. THE CARNIVAL. Rainy weather prevailed yesterday and somewhat dampened the spirits of those at- tending the carnival, besides interfering with outdoor sports. Indoor attractions, how- ever, were largely patronized and the recep- tion to visitors at Queen’s Hallin the evening was well attended, amon those present belng Lord and Lady Lansdowne. The Gov- ernor-General also attended the Odd Fellows’ concert and delivered an address. Later he went to a fancy dress ball at the Victoria rink. Among the throng at the ball were many well known Americans. A stranger attending the carnival was found dead on the street yester- day. The body has not yet been identified.

Superintendent Schmitt of Cleveland, telegraphed here that Smith's story is correct, advising that he be released.

C., February 9. — Mr. Reed to-day, by sharp paritamentary work, forced the Democrats of the House to accepts the responsibility either for the passage or the defeat of the fortification and ordnancé bills which have just passed the Senate. The Dem- ocratic programme had been to re- fer them quietiy to the Committee on Appropriations and to allow them to lle there on various pretexts until the session ended. When the first of the bills was read by its title this morning, and was just about to be referred by the Speaker, Mr. Roed surprised the ‘‘economists’’ by asking unani- mous consent for consideration. Randall, Holman and Morrison, as had been expected, were on their feet in an instant, shouting 1 object.’’ Then I demand the reading of the binn,“ said Mr. Reed quietly. The Democrats could not prevent the reading, and at its conclu. sion, with the entire Democralic side rushing excitedly through the aisles and trying to stop him, Mr. Reed went on: And what commit- tee is it referred to?“ The Speaker was forced to decide and said the *‘appropriations.’’ And they have the right to report at any time,“ be continued, stating the fact as a question. THE SPEAKER WINCED, but he had to admit that they could have no excuse for delaying it, and then Mr. Reed, emphasizing hie point, called for the reedin of the second bill. When it was complete he forced a second decision that Mr. the matter, and that they had the right of way as soon us they saw fit to bring the matter to the attention of the House. Randall shouted out that the committee would accept the bill, wanted, and then Reed, in the midst of most desperate ettorts to gotin afew words of a speech ona point of order. What he said was that he wanted the responsibility for refusing to provide ordnance and fortify the coasts to be put with the party to whom it belenged. The Democrats now had the bill with the right to present it for consideration or smother it, and he wanted the matter to be thoroughly understood. 8 SS THE FISHERY FUSS. A Stimulus Given to Plans for Naval Vessels and Coast Defenses, a By Telegraph to the Fosr-Dis raren. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 9.—A ‘great stimulus has been given to plans for naval vessels and for coast defense by the friction between this country and Canada. Washing- ton swarms with inventors who have plans for the most complicated engines of destruc< | tion. Congress will increase the appropria- tions made for experiments in testing new en- gines of warfare and for the construction of new cruisers. It is not a question so much of business as of sentiment. Throughout Con- gress there is a very cordial dislike for Eng- land and her ways. The majority of publie men would welcome a sharp brush with England if we were reasonably prepared. The younger and more adventurous element in Congress is enthusiastic in tavoring a vig- orous policy. Judge Advocate-General Remey ofthe Navy gave an account the other night ofan incident which tUlustrates how much a proud spirited people will unuergo for a mere question of sentiment. Just after the war, Admiral John Rogers, with aconvoy of three war vessels and the great double turretted Monitor, the Monadnoc, were sent to go around the Horn to visit the Pacific coast. This trip was a test of the sea- going qualities of the Monitor. This heavy vessel stood the voy- age better even than any of the vessels of the fleet. They arrived off Valparaiso a few months afterthe war closed. he Span- ish authorities at that time had sent out a fleet to punish Chilifor some insult to the Spanish flag. Admiral Rodgers, when he steamed around the point into the bay op- posite the city, found a large fleet of Spanish men-of-war blockading the harbor. The Chilians bad understood that the Americans were coming to raise the blockade. The houses in thecity were black with people. Ceeer upon cheer burst upon the alr as the four American vessels swung inside the Span- ish line and anchored inthe bay. There was one other American war vessel inthe barbor at the time of the arrival. The President’s Attitude, By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 9.—The President this morning had an hour's consul- tation with the Democrats of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House, whom he sens for, and spent the time discussing the fisheries question. The President said co the Commist- tee that he was in fuvor of taking a bold and aggressive stand in the matter and wanted the Committee to do the same. He asked them to show no signs of backing down. — — HISCOCK AND MILLER, The Former Seeking a Reconciliation—A Break From Blaine. By Telegraph to the Post-Disratcu WASHINGTON, D.

Mr. Reed then asked that it be made a special order for Monday next, but en- agen an objection from Mr. Eden of nois. Mr, Reed inquired to what committee the bill would be referred under the rules. The 8 ker replied that the bill would go, under the rules, tothe Committee on Appro- priations. Mr. Reed inquired if the bill was one which the Committee on Appropriations would have the right to report at any time for immediate consideration. He wanted, he said, to fix the responsibility of a refusal to fortify the cotn- try upon the gentlemen upon whom it ought to rest, and he wanted to fix the responsibility upon the Democratic . The Speaker stated that in its nature the bill was for the snpport of the Government and would come under the rule which allowed the — on Appropriations to report at any time. Mr. Reed: Then the committee would have the right to report upon that bill during this session? „Mr. Cutcheon of Michigan raised the point of order that the bill should be referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. The Speaker overruled the and stated that the bill should the Committee on Appropriation. Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania inquired as to the Chair’s decision that the committee had the right to report at any time. The Speaker stated that he had very little time to look at the provisions ot the bill. If it was a bill for the construction of fortifications or for the 1 — of any department of the Government it came within the rule allowing the committee to report at any time. Mr. Reed stated that his object in making his inquiry was very simple. It was to have the bill referred to a committee which had the right to report atany time so that some re- sponsipility mighi rest somewhere, if there was a failure to report. The Speaker having —— the parliamentary rules, he was sat sfisd. The Speaker said that he had expressed the opinion, upon a hasty reading of the bill, that It came within the rule that would allow the Committee on Appropriations to report it at anytime. The bill wasthen referred to the Committee on Appropriations. The 114 — also laid before the House the Senate bill providing for the manufacture of ordnance for army purposes and making ap- propriations for coast defences. In response to a question by Mr, Reed, the Speaker stated that this bill would also go to the Committee on Appropriations. Mr. Reed inquired whether the bill could be reported for immediate consideration. he Speaker replied that he had so stated in response to an inquiry in regard to asimilar bill. Butif the Chair was convinced here. after argument, that the statement he bad then made was incorrect, he would not hesi- tate to retract it. Mr. Reed asked the Chair to allow him to ex- Plain his persistence in this matter. This was aquestion for the Chair to decide, because that decision might go over in the action of the House. If the ouse desired this bill to be sent to a committee which could report atany time, that was a very important fact for the House to be in possession of; and the only person to whom the House could apply for the statement of fact was its organ—the Speaker. Therefore, he had asked the Speak- er's opinion on the subject. If the Speaker should make a mistake on this question, of course the Speaker would afford the House an opportunity to rectify its decision on the question of reference. The Speaker: If the Chair is correct in de- ciding that this bill properly goes under the rule to the Appropriation Committee, then it would follow that the committee may report at any time.

Neatly Nine Thousand Men Idle and Over @200,000 in Wages Lost—The Dock Piers Crowded with Workers—Miners’ Strike— Shoemakers and Silkdyers Quit Work— Fixing the Coal Miners’ scale—Labor News. New YORK, February 9.—Except for the number of longshoremen standing idle on the corners, the streets along the river fronts have assumed almost their normal appearance. Though it requires a larger number of men to do the work now than formerly, the steamboat and railroad pier managers all claim that busi- ness is as good as before the strike, and that freight is being moved with the utmost facility. Steamers now leave at the advertised time and the jam of freight on the railroad piers no longer exists. At the Mal- lory dock and the Clyde Line dock in East River, where they are in the habit of clearing one or more steamers per day, there has been a decided improvement. At the latter dock the City of Atlanta came up yesterday and this morning she was almost discharged. The pier master on the Mallory dock said he had seven of the strikers at work, but was unable, however, to point them out. Two delegates from the Knights of Labor met Henry and J. T. Maxweil, the representatives of President Corbin of the Reading Rallroad, this morning, but witbout arriving at any satisfactory re- suits. The question of calling out the Knights on the Reading road is still open and may be ordered within two days, Mr. Corbin’s offer of a 4 having been refused. The Knights of Labor insist on a general settle- ment, and intimate that new strikes will soon be taken to bring ht about. The striking ‘long- shoremen —~— ey by the Ward Steamship Line returned to work to-day at the old terms. A MISERABLE FAILURE. The Commercial Advertiser says regardin the big strike: ‘‘The strike of the raiir freight handlers in this city was a week old last night. The "longshoremen quit work on Jannuary 27. Both strikes are now admitted, even by their — Se be failures. They have not heipe the cause of the coal handlers, nor brought about any increase of pay. They have not even seriously interfered with the business of the companies, against which the movement was directed. There never was a great labor movement in New York city whieh failed so miserably as these strikes. At the present time there are 8,714 freight handlers and ’longshormen idle in New York city as aresultofthestrike. Two weeks ago these men had steady ernployment at good wages. Most of these laborers will never re- gain the places they left at the command of the Knights of Labor. The Advertiser estimates the losses in wages to the striking freight handlers and *‘longshoremen to date at about $210,000 and says: ‘‘If the ‘longshoremen were to be granted to-morrow their demand for increase of wages, which they made the pretext of their strike, it would take more than four months of steady work for them to regain what they have already lost.

A special to the Evening Wisconsin from Marquette, Mich., says 200 surface men at the Champion mine returned to work to-day on apretext that the pending trouble only concerned the underground men.

Delegate Monahan Proposes the House Shall Reconsider the Ordinance. „On Friday night, said Delegate Patrick Monaban, I Iintend to move the reconsidera- tion of the ordinance known as Council Bill No. 68, which was to provide forthe sprink- ling of the streets.’’ The ordinance was lost last night in the House by the following vote: Yeas—Fischer, Gundlach, Hammerstein, Marriott, Monahan, Schoenbeck, Stone, Vogel, Wenzlick and Speaker Foxr—10. Nays—Alt, rockweier, Coakley, Collins, Gartenbach, Kaye, Keenan, Kohlbry, Morrissey, Oberbeck,O’ Nell, Pishon, Rolfes, Sullivan, Waters and Wuebbold—17. Absent—Lehmann. Later Mr, Monahan changed his vote to g. did so, he says, because I saw the woul de killed unless 1 the opportunity of moving its reconstruction. I cannot understand the attitude of the delegates from the down town wards. I can understand why those from the thinly settled wards would be against it. Down town the people want some scheme adopted for general sprinkling. Those in the outlying wards do not need sprinkling so much and object to the expense. But last night Keenan trom the Fourth, Morrissey from tne First, Waters from the Tenth and Sullivan from the Twelfth voted to killthe bill. The ordinance passed the Coun- cilunanimously. Itisthe best measure ever 2 pep and is an absolute necessity. Inder it the Board of Public Improvements is authorized to let the work of eprinkling all the improved streets of the city which lie with- in 1000 feet of any distribution pipe. Forty sprinkling districts are te be established, and each is to be let separately. To enable the Street Commissioner to carry out the provis- ions of the ordinance he would be authorized with the approval of the Mayor to appoint a Superintendent of Sprinkling to receive a salary of $1,500 a year. The expense of the work would be paid out of the municipal revenue appropriated for street sprinkling. better scheme could not be found and Ishall try very hard to secure its passage Friday night. Brueggemann, THE STREET RAILROADpD MEN Deny Any Combination with Mr. Green—The Electric Motor. The street railroad proprietors deny that Mr. Chas.

They say Mr. Sculllin is the only one of the street railroad men that can ‘‘pull’’ with Mr. Green.

OF THE OLDEST INMATE OF THE INSANE ASYLUM. riati Depart- Approp on Figures for the Fire ment Submitted by Chief Lindsay—The Gratiot Street Switch Bill Presented to the Mayor for His Action—Municipal Notes. Julia Ann Smith, better known as ‘‘Mother’” Smith of the Insane Asylum, died yesterday of apoplexy, aged 64 years. Mother“ Smith originally lived at Florissant, but in 1869 lost her reason and was committed to the St. Louis Insane Asylum, which was then a county institution. Death and recoveries removed her rivals and for many years she has proudly enjoyed the distinction of being the oldest in- mate of the Asylum. She wasalways good humored, except this distinc- tion was disputed by some of her associates, when she resented the attempt to deprive her of the honor which she held so dear. ‘‘Mother’’ Smith will be remembered by the thousands of persons who. dave visited the asy-; lum during the past eighteen years. She was the leading spirit at the ‘‘patients’ balls which were given regularly for the benefit of the demented prisoners. She led the dance and appropriated to herself the numerous responsibilities of hostess. She discharged the duties of this assumed position with punctilious politeness. Old Mother Smith’s remains were consigned to the dead-house un- der the rules of the. department. No further disposition will be made of the body until the allotted forty-eight hours ex- ire. If itis not taken in charge by relatives 2 that time it will be buried in potter’s field. when Picked up on the Streets. John Opp, who it is supposed lives at No. 1749 North Ninth street, was picked up to-day at Main and La Beaume streets in an unconscious condition. An ambulance was summoned and he was taken to the City — 8 No outward injury was discovered and he was removed to the City Hospital at once. The Gratiot Street Switch. The Gratiot street switch bill which passed the House after it was once defeated, was seut to the Mayor this morning for signature. The Mayor hus ten days in which to consider the bill. N Fire Department Appropriations. Capt. John Lindsay, Chief of the Fire De- partment, was at the City Hall to-day on busi- ness connected with the finances of his de- partment. Speaking of appropriations he said: ‘‘The appropriation should be much larger. Look, here Ihave a copy of the ap- ropriation for the Chicago Fire Department. They lay aside $857,000 for that department. To this 2 per cent of the amount is added tor delinquents. Our appropriation is $424,000. They annually expend more than twice what our department costs us. Our appropriations are itemized, that is, there is so much for hose, so much for feed, etc. By the strictest economy inevery part of the department we have saved about $9,500, which we turn into the general fund and for the re- appropriation of which we now have a bill before the Assembly authorizing the expen- diture of this amount for two engines to replace two old engines, which do not answer the requirements of their district. A city official quoted as saying that the men put on some time ago were divided ampng the old companies is mistaken. Over seventy-five of them were disposed of on new engine and hook and ladder companies and on the fuel wagon. The remainder were much needed in the district east of Eighth street where a great many large buildings have reeently gone up, and the rest of the men were divided among those companies.

Boston, February 9.—The Journal says of the alleged defalcation of Clerk Leighton: „When Mr. John C. Leighton unexpectedly resigned in December last as Clerk of the Munictpal Criminal Court, after twenty years of service, there was much surprise expressed by persons who knew him well. About that time it became known that his accounts were not correct and when asked about it by the judges, Mr. Leighton admitted that such was the case, but it was attributed to unintentional errors on his part and that he was ready when the amount was ascertained, to make the deficiency good. An expert was then employed by the judges, but it will take a long time to ascertain whether the shortage amounts to a sufficient sum to show an undoubted criminal intent on the part of Mr. Leighton. No proceadings against him have been begun. The statement that Mr. Leighton’s defalcation will amount to $200,000, or . upwards, cannot, at this stage, at least, be borne out by facts, as there is not the least evidence as yet upon which a complaint could be maintained that should charge him with even the embezzle- ment of 51, 000. ’ Judge Forsaith, who was seen at the court- room to-day, assured a reporter that the dis- crepancy in Leighton’s account was compara- tively small, and that Leighton could straighten it without drawing heavily on his purse. The judge ＋ we at the idea of the amouut reaching $200, BECK’S RAILROAD ATTORNEY BILL, The Agricultural and Dairy Association Fail to Indorse It.

One lot Men’s One lot Fancy Children’s $1 Caps... One lot Men’s $2.50 Shoes : NOT ENFORCEABLE, Opinion of the Exchange Attorney on the Proposed Rules Governing Elevators. A few days since Alex. H. Smith presented for the consideration of the Board of Directors of the Merchants’ Exchange two pro- posed amendments to the rules of the . Exchange governing elevators. These amendments provided that ‘‘no elevator shall continue or be declared ‘regular’ that directly or indirectly buys grain or ‘futures,’ or that directly or indi- rectly deviates from its open public rates of storage: nor shall any elevator continue or be declared ‘regular’ that mixes grades or sub- stitutes one grade of grain for another for de- livery or shipment, or that refuses to permit grain inspectors, when so directed by the Ex- ecutive Committee, to examine and report uponthe condition and quantity of grain in such elevator. Any elevator now or hereafter classed as regular that shall directly or indirectly disre- gard any of the provisions of this section, shall on proof thereot be declared ‘irregular’ by the board of directors.’’ ‘ THE ATTORNEY'S OPINION. F. N. Judson, the attorney for the Exchange, to-day rendered a long written opinion on the roposed amendments and on the right of the Uxchange to govern the actions of the elevator proprietors. Mr. Judson says the amendments present direotly the question of the extent of the power of the Exchange in enacting rules for the classification of elevators. It has been established by custom on the Exchange that only ‘‘regular’’ elevator receipts can be tendered in discharge of contracts made on the Exchange floor. Elevator receipts are made negotiable by statute. The designation by the er ag of certain elevators as regular is, therefore, onl a matter of convenience. Elevator freights are nego- tiable whether the elevators are regular under the Exchange rules Elevators are subject to State but the lice is not vested in the change. special grants of power, b denden ‘the “private 8 2 p pro of their owners. The only warrant of 1 ng ification by the Exchange istogive certainty to business contracts. Elevators are DKOLARED REGULAR not for their benefit, but for the benefit of members of the Exchange. The power of classification is 122 limited to the only purpose for which such classification is authorized—the furtherance of trade by giving certainty to business contracts, and in so far only as the rules regulating olas- sification are confined to this purpose they would be enforceable. . The first amendment is declared not en- forceable as a reasonable rule. The second is enforceable inthe opinion ofthe Exchange attorney A BRECEIVER WANTED.

Some of the committee were in favor of grant- ing the request made by M. FT. Healy, as at- torney for Conroy, to allow him ae- céss to the poll-books, while oth- ers strenuously refused. The committee delayed the meeting of the Board for néarly one hour in endeavoring to agree. They finally concluded to report the evidence taken before the Committee without deciding who was guilty of the frauds perpetrated, allowing the Board to form its own conclusions and also to decide whether the request to have access to the poll-books should be granted or not. In their report THE COMMITTEE found that the charge made by Mr. Conroy, that Mr. Bosley was allowed to name. the judges and clerks of election, was well founded. They reported that the evidence ~ Showed that a list of judges and clerks had said the been made out by Mr. Arnold, the then mem- ber of the Board from the Fifteenth Ward, whose duty it was to attend to the appoint- ments and that this list had been reported by him tothe Secretary of the Board. After the list had been received by the Secretary, Mr. Bosley, represented that some of the parties were dead and some were moved out of the ward. The Contest Committee reported that Mr. Bosley’s representations were not sus- tained by the evidence, but that he was al- lowed to name a new set of judges and clerks. They found that two of these parties named by Mr. Bosley, namely, Robert J. Carroll, who acted as Clerk, and James W. Kay, who acted as Judge, in District No. 1, Seventeenth Ward, did not live in ‘he district. They found in District No.1 ballot- box the fol- . irregularities: Sixty-two duplicate bal lots, three triplicate ballots, twenty-two names on the poll book with duplicate numbers, ten names marked voted, and numbered on the poll-book, for which no ballots were found; that seventeen witnesses for whom DUPLICATE BALLOTS were found, — before the committee and testified under oath that they did not vote at all; for nearly all of these parties duplicate ballots were found for Bosley; twenty-two witnesses appeared and swore that they voted for Conroy; tor these witnesses duplicate bal- lots were found, and in most cases the dupli- cate was for Bosley. One witness testitied that he voted for Conroy, but no ballot was found in the box for him. They also found six ei ballotsin District No. 2 without num- ers. They found from the evidence that MICHAEL HAUGHEY had voted fifteen minutes before the poll closed at District No. I, and that his ballot was numbered 399 and that the judges re- turned 450 votes cast, leaying 51 votes cast in fifteen minutes, which the committee sub- mitted as evidence of fraud. The commit- tee made their report, leaving itto the Board to decide whether Mr. Conroy should have the privilege of exawining the poll- books or not, Mr. Conroy claiming that he would be able to submit more evidence if granted this privilege. In the Board meeting Mr. Bornmueller moved that the report bereceived and the —, discharged. The motion was car- ried. Tnis has the effect of allowing Mr. Bosley to hold his seat, as it shuts off Mr. Conroy from proces further evidence of fraud. Mr. Jonroy claims that he has proved fraud in the electionin District No. 1, and that the law is, that if fraud is proved it annuls the election. He claims that he has done his duty to those who bonored him with their suffrages, in ex- posing the fraud that was perpetrated. The responsibility of refusing to continue the in- vestigation rest with the School Board. Un- less the Grand-jury prosecutes the inquiry into the fraudulent conduct of the election the matter will end here. THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE, A Dull Session of Both Houses—Valuable Time Wasted. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. SPRINGFIELD., III., February 9.—The Senate held a short and uninteresting session, and advanced a few bills from second to third reading, among them being the bill fixing the pay of members of the General Assembly at $1,000.

It looks a little as if there were still ‘a lingering notion in the mind of Repub- ‘lican Senators that office is “too good for “niggers.” IRREGULAR BUT NOT ILLEGAL. —, TuRPI£ as Senator, but the charge that it was grossly illegal does not appear to be sustained. The Republican majority in the Indiana House took advantage of a contested elec- tion to substitute a Republican tor a Dem- ocratin that body, and this might have given the Republicans a slight advantage in the joint ballot for Senator, if the Dem- ocratic majority in the State Senate had not also taken advantage of a contested election to substitute a Democrat for a Republican in the State Senate. According to usage the presiding officer of the Senate presides over the joint ses- sions of the two houses and declares the result. But the Supreme Court of the State had decided that there was no Lieutenant Governor, and the Republican House refused to recognize the authority of the President-elect of the Senate as the presiding officer of the joint session. In order that the joint session might be held in accordance with the law of Con- gress, the two houses compromised on an agreement that each should sit in joint session under its own presiding officer. Thusthe law was satisfied to the extent thata majority of the members-elect to both houses were present and voted in the joint session. The record shows this fact und also that a majority of all the votes of the joint Assembly were cast for TURPIE. The law expressly declares that ‘‘the “person Who receives a majority of all the “votes of the joint assembly, a majority of “allthe members elected to both houses “being present and voting, shall be de- “clared duly elected. The President of the Senate declared Tunrm elected and the record shows that he was elected ac- cording tolaw. But the Speaker of the House, after he had recognized the joint assembly and participated in it, declared that there had been no election. This declaration was not in accordance with the law or the record. | Doubtless there were irregular acts and unfair ones on both sides in the struggle for the control of the joint assembly, and the small Republican majority in the United States Senate may, in the struggle to maintain its ascendency, make the ir- regularities or wrongs on the Democratic side a pretext for excluding Judge TURPIE from his seat. But we do not see how it | made e There was irregularity in the election of United States war vesssls—chiefly, powerfully years ago. During all those years it has been fashionable to sneer at the suggestion that anybody was or could be bribed or influenced by the acceptance of so trifling a favor as a railroad pass. But during all those years the distribution of railroad passes where they would do the most good went on with such decisive effect that the whole railroad chapter of the Constitution has remained a dead letter.

The Sun says: Now that Matthews has finaliy beenrejected by the Senate, we com- mend to Mr. Cleveland a careful study of his own letter to the Senate with which he sent Matthews’ name before that body for the second time. ‘I have ventured,’ he said, ‘con- fessing a desire to co-operate in tendering to our colored fellow-citizens just recognition and the utmost good faith, to again submit this nomination.’ As for tendering good faith, of course, that is the only sort of faith that should ever be tendered to any body. Butin this idea of ‘just recognition’ Mr. Cleveland gives a most vicious kick to the doctrine of civil service reform, — perhaps, he did not think of it, and puts him- self squarely on a Democratic platform. Hav- ing once accepted the principle of political appointment for the sake of recognition, what bars the way toa genes recognition of the Democratic party? In this instance Mr. Cleve- land has recognized a black man, but the fact that the majority of Democrats are white should not prevent them from being rec- ognized too.’’ THE PEOPLE’S FORUM.

Long ago rumors were current that this was delayed pend- ing the laying of a sewer.

The British Railway Commission has labored since its appointment in 1873 to establish a doctrine basing rates strictly ont he cost of the service, with little regurd to other condi- tions. Inthe Evershed case the Commission held that the existence of competition at one point made no difference, and that no less could be charged for a whole distance than a part of it, and this led naturally to the doc- trine laid down in 1880 in the very important Denaby Main colliery case that a greater distance must be charged more inthe aggre- gate. In 1883 the Commission went a step further, and in passing on the complaint of the Broughton Coal Company held that a railroad must actually make more aggregate profit on a long haul than on ashorter, and the charge on through traffic on any one road must be greater than on shipments to, from or between inter- mediate points. The last Parliamentary com- mittee has refused, however,to approve these decisions and has gone back to the old doc- trine of the courts and declared tnat ‘‘a pref- ing, engaged in literary work.

It springs from the popular belief that the old parties are under control of the money power as against the people. both parties in New York have stood inert, The fact that and even connived at the ofhcers who have ever since the war let the great corporations, the Goulds and the Vanderbilts go almost un- taxed, whereby the masses are compelled to bear double burdens of taxation, is enough of itself to make the people abandon both the old parties and try to get justice through a party oftheir own.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., February 8.—The passage by the House to-day of the Dunn bill prohibitiag the acceptance of free passes or reduced rate tickets by State, municipal or county employes is looked upon here as the first step forward of the anti-rallroad element. While only twenty-six members voted againstthe measure andits majority was accordingly large, yet, upon closer inspec- tion, it will be seen that there was method in the madness of this flerce onslaught on the railroads. The anti-rallroad legislators in their haste or selfishness failed to tack onto the bill the usual emergency clause and by reason of this failure, having already by the mere passage of the bill declared that the constitution was inoperative on this point, have left open a * -hole for the acceptance of free passes by themselves. The adoption of an emergency clause would have — the bill operative immediately it was signed by the Governor, butas the measure now stands it could not go into effect until ninety days after the final adjournment of this Legislature. Secretary of State McGrath — the bill this evening said: The bill, should it become a law, can not be any stronger or more restrictive than the constitutional pro- vision on the subject. I shal) do as 1 have al- ways done heretofore when called away within the State, on State business oras a witness, Mr the law department of the road over which lam required to travel and obtain the necessary transportation. When I go any- where on busine-s for the State or for any citi- zen of the State in connection with the duties of my office I make no charge whatever for time or travel and do not intend todoso while in office. When I travel within the State either on business for myself or pleasure I shall do so as heretofore, on a thousand- mile ticket or mg paying the regu- lar fare. I tak that when I travel outside of the State I am a free nt and beyond the reach ofa law which really in effect is a nullity, even in its application within jhe State. Were lI nota memberof the State Board of Equalization I would pay no attention whatever to the law or its conse- quences.’’ Contrary to the — 7 Impression, there is no provision in the militia bill, reporte favorably by the Senate committee, 10 or the ayment by the State of the expenses incurred 2 the St. Louis companies in the Sedalia strike of two years ago, or for other 2 owed by the State to the militia. Adjt.-Gen. Jamison estimates the aggregate amount due companies all over the tate at $3,000, not a cent of which can be paid out of the $50 000 appropriated dy the militia bill, should ia ie become alaw. The object of the measure n ow pending in the Senate is to establish and eaulp a State militia, and not to off debts con- tracted in the past.

Among the present were Arch- bishop Ryan, Gen. W. 8. Rosecrans, ex-Goy. Patterson and ex-Attorney-General McVeagh. The following letter from President Cleve- land, regretting bis inability to attend, was read: ‘‘Ithank you for the admirable letter whtch accompanied my invitation in which ou announce as one of the doctrines of your ood and exemplary Catholic and exemplary citizen,’ and both human and club ‘that a must bea goo that the teachings of divine law thus merging in the one word, duty, form the only anion of church and State thata civil and religious government edu recognize. I know you will permit me, as a Protestant, to supplement this noble sentiment by the expression of my conviction that the same influences result and follow a sincere and consistent devotion to the teachings of every religious creed which is based upon divine sanction. A wholesome religious faith thus inures to the — ng the safety and prosperity of our public by exacting the due observance of civil law, the preservation of public order anda proper re- rd for the rights of all, and thus are its ad- erents better fitted for good citizenship and confirmed ma sure and steadfast patriotism. It seems to me, too, that the conception of duty to the State which is derived from re- ligious precept, involves asense of personal responsibility which is of the greatest value in the operation of the Government by the peo- ple. It will be a fortunate day for our country when every citizen feels that he has an ever- present duty to perform to the State which he can not escape from or negiect withoutseing false to his religious as well as bis civil alle- glance.

How He Got Rid of a Disguised Would-Be Robber. BELVIDERE, N. J., February 9.—P. Engle- man, a well-known physician of this place, and a former member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, met with a strange adventure a few nights ago. He was driving home after visiting a patient, when he was stopped by a woman who asked for a ride. The doctor readily consented. After she got in he discovered that his companion was a man in female atire. He naturally was alarmed, ana suspected foul play of some kind. As a sub- terfuge he dropped his whip, and making the excuse that he was afraid to let go the reins asked the pseudo woman politely to get out and pick it up. she“ consented and alighted. The doctor did not wait for any developments, but hurriedly started up his horse and drove on. Just as he was congratulating himself on his lucky escape, he was confronted by two 4 in temale guise. They peered closely nto his carriage and not seeing the one who was evidently their accomplice, made no effort to detain him. On reaching home be found in the carriage a muff and a revoleer, which had been left by the unknown ‘‘female’’ when she ec out to pick up the whip. The doctor hinks the masqueraders intended to assassin- ate him. DO YOU WEAR GLASSES? Steel, $1; also finer; gold, $5.

The Annoyance to Navigation and Street Business in New York, New York, February 9.—Street-car drivers and elevated road engineers yesterday found themselves in one of the densest fogs that New York bas had for years. The annoyance to river navigation could only be appreciated by those on the boats or along the river fronts. The shrieks of steam whistles, the tolling of bells, the groaning of fog horns was every- where heard, and the irregular trips of ferry- boats caused long lines of an from the ferry gates up the streets, excepting within close reach of the Brooklyn bridge. The dense fog also interfered seriously with deep sea shipping. The Guion steamship Arizona, which was loaded by nonunion men, was ready to sail at (p. m., but it was not consid. ered safe to take so large a vessel through the tortuous channels past Sandy Hook in such weatber. The Savannah steamer Nacoocnee also remained at ber * on account of the fog, but the Pacific Mai! steamer Colon went to sea at noon. Only a few vessels ventured to come into port.

Her Parisian Dramatic Teacher Pronounces Her the Rachel of the Future—Studies in “Galba, the Gladiater”—They Knocked Him How a Countryman Enjoyed the Ratcatcher’s Operatic Ballet—Amuse- ment Notes. By Telegraph to the Post-DItsPATCH. New Tonk, February 9.—A Paris corre- spondent of the WORLD, under date ot Janu- ary 27, writes, concerning Mrs. James Brown Potter’s intentions, the following statement may be accepted as authoritative and as com- ing directly from her: Her plans as to going upon the stage are not yet fully developed. She has here in Paris a private teacher, Mme. Armand Plessy, at one time a member of the Theatre Francaise com- pany, and sheis equipping herself in every detail of stage technique and business. She has been offered an English engagement to play in London, but she has not yet accepted it. In fact, she says that sne will not ac- cept any offer abroad or in America unless it is to her advantage in every way. She has just purchased a play here and is now at work upon it. It may be added, also upon authority, that Mrs. Potter’s younger sister, Miss Jennie Urquhart, well known in New York society, has similiar artistic ten- dencies, isnow under instructions with the same teacher, and it is well understoodin the family that if Mrs. Potter goes on the stage, her sister will accompany her. Mrs. Pot- ter occupies rooms here with her sister and her mother, Mrs. David Urquhart, at the Hotel Annex du Louvre. She receives daily instruo- tions from Mme. Plessy, who was a contem- porary and personal friend ot Rachel in the Theatre Francaise. In conversation with Mme. Piessy she predicted that Mrs. Potter would be THE ‘‘RACHEL OF THE FUTURE.’’ She says that Mrs. Potter is a genius of re- markable magnetism’’ and she thinks ‘‘needs but little more instruction. It is held by Mrs. Potter’s friends that Mme. Plessy's opin- ion is of great importance, She is now, of course, retired from the stage and is quite ad- vanced in years. She will not, itis said, take pupils under her instruction unless she is assured of the talent of the novice and a pros- pect of her success on the stage. In fine, it can be said that Mrs. Potter has definitely determined upon ADOPTING THE STAGE as a profession, but that she has not yet re- ceived an offer which sne considers sufficiently advantageous. Therefore, no date can yet be named for her first appearance, nor whether she will first appear in London or New York. On the one hand, her social success in England lust year when she was the guest of Prince and Princess of Wales, on board their yacht at Cowes, would make her debut in London a matter of general interest, and on the other, she would prefer her first venture upon the stage as a professional actress should be in New York, where she bas so many friends and where she bas done so much in the cause of charity. It is estimated that the proceeds of various charitable purposes of ber various amateur performances in New York would aguregate $100,000. Mrs. Potter has made her present resolution with the approval of her father ana mother. She will, whatever hap- pens, make her debut at the oe of next season. Mrs. Potter, besides her hard work with Mme. Plessy, sees much of society here. On a recent visit from Cabanal, the tamous Spanish painter, he declared that hers was ‘tan ideal head. Beer, the Viennese sculpt- or, has asked permission to doa bust of her and is now at work upon it. It will go to New York and be put on exhibition in the American Art Gallery, _— „ “GALBA THE GLADIATOR,” Frederick Warde Scores a Hit in the Tragedy. The tragedy of ‘‘Galba’’ which Mr. Fred- erick Warde presented last night at the Grand has been transformed since its former pro- duction. Having been given a prominent place in his repertoire it may be regarded al- most as a new play. It is a play of strong mo- tives cast on a plane which may be called ideal, and dealing with elements which sel- dom find a place on the stage. Ihe love of a father for his daughter, the license and unbounded passion of an un- scrupulous Empress and the heroic spirit of the Christian martyr are blended into a story of undoubted power. Hero are elements full ofsimplicity and yet the strongest that hu- man nature knows. The treatment of the theme is natural and vigorous and while it is capable of greater finish in purts yet the inter- estis sustained and heightened from the be- ginning to the close. The play which is from the French of Saumel is put in the time of Empress Faustina. At the birth of the Emperor Gordian, an oracie has de- clared that the life of the Empress’ mother can only be saved by the death of another mother but that the life of the royal infant will depend on that of the slain woman’s child. The wife of Galba, a Ducian slave and gladiator, is chosen for the sacrifice. Galda, ina fury of rage and grief, takes his child and flees into Africa. The child, a girl, is stolen trom him and he devotes his life to a search for her. The play opens in Rume about fifteen years aiter these events. Galba is ordered to re- appear in the arena. His daughter, Nodamia, is a Christian, but aslave of Florian, a noble and honored Roman, who frees her in order to marry her. Florian is beloved by the Em- — who offers him mauriage, but is re- ected. In hér rage against her rival she com- mands Gulba to slay her, but he is touched by her youth and beauty and refusesto do it. She, however, consenting to a Pagan cere- mony of marriage, is confronted in the temple by an aged Christian priest, who is dragged thither ‘for trial. The rapt devotion to the cause she acknowledges her faith and is condemned to be cast to the lions. The populace demand that Galba sluy her in the arena and will listen to no entrea- ties. Just as he is about to plunge his sword into her he recognizes her as his daughter and Starts back with horror. The populace is in- satiable, but the Empress interferes with her suldiers for her son's sake. The last scene is in the Maenertine prison, where are Galba, Modamia, Fiavian and the Empress, the latter trying to save the girl. She refuses to fly, preferrin martyrdom. Gaiba is appealed to by a former slave to keep his oath to his associates by killing her and thus ending the Emperor’s life. To keep his oath and tosave herfrom the mob who are battering down the gates he slays her. The Emperor’s soldiers are victorious, and when he enters the prison in triumph Galba attempts to kill him, but is himself slain and dies in the faith of nis daughter. This sketch of the play is given to show the powerful elements with which it deals, and while the plot is somewhat complicated and the auditor is not fully satisfied with the father’s reasoning yet the situations are thrilling, the characters vigorously drawn and the entire play interesting. Mr. Warde had a part in Galba which admir- ably suited his vigorous methods and both in his quiet and strong scenes displayed intensity and power which a.oused the enthusiasm of the audience. At the close of the am phiteater scene he was called before the curtain hall a dozen times. He was intensely dramatic also at the close, his final farewell to his daughter and his death being full of genuine pathos. Miss Eugenie Blair treated the part of Mo- damia with a ace, subdued sweetness and artistic sensibility which captivated the andi- ence. She avoided the least attempt to gain artificial effect, but pictured the gentie, loving girl, the devoted Christian and submissive heroic martyr with charming skill and intelli. gence. It was a conception entirely above — 1 and was ideal in its artistic eauty. Miss Emmie Wilmot had a part in ‘‘Faustina’’ scarcely less strong than that of the star in some respects — on but she altogether failed to fill its demands. Her conception was ill-defined and was not well sustained. The requirements were too heavy for her powers ofexpression, and only at times did she ap- proach a satisfactory dramatic inter retation of the role. Mr. L. F. Rand as Orlgan, Mr. Chas. D. Herman as Flavian, Mr. Garrick as Hanno, should be given ciedit for conscien- tlous work. The scenery was h Galba will be repeated ey again on Sat night, and to-night Richard III. will be gives.

New YORK, February 9.—Joseph I. Falk of the clothing firm of I. L. Falk & Co. left town last week and has not since been heard from. Much alarm Was felt by his friends when he was first missed, but subsequent inquiries served to allay the fears for his safety. It was against the rules of the firm for members to speculate, but Joseph took flyers last fall and was unsuccessful, He said nothing about it. put off the brokers to whom he owed money with promises and passed December and January traveling in the south. One of the brokerage houses with which he did business was that of Washington Seligman & Co., Wall street, and when his ac- count was closed he owed them $5,556.54. They pressed him for the money, and he wrote promising to pay on February 3. He returned from the South week before last, and finding that his creditors were pressing him con- fessed to his father that he had been speculating and was in difficulty. The latter was very angry at first, but finally relented ana told the young man to make up a list of his debts and he wouid pay them on condition that he would solemnly swear never to speculate again. While pre- paring the list his courage failed him. The amount was so large that he feared another quarrel with his father. Last Wednesday he went to the two banks in which the firm has its cash account and drew out $16,000—the exact amount of his interest in the firm. He could if he wished have drawn double that amount. He did not return home that night nor the following day. No tidings of him arrived until a letter came to his mother on Saturday. In ithe expressed sorrow for causing her pain, hoped she would forgive him, and said he would return after a time and set matters right. On Saturday the remaining members of the firm dissolved the old part- nership and left Joseph out. Washington, Seligman & Co. on Monday took out attach- ment against the firm forthe money due them.

The genuine Kentucky, Maryland and Tennessee whisky and California brandy distiller would be benefited, as there are about one million gallons of high proof alco- hol imported from tha States which flant our wine bills, which are converted into so-called whisky and even compounded with more or less grape spirits and favoring matters and sold also as brandy. The Ken- tucky distillers are in favor of genuine products and the friends of our wine industry.
