DUE TO JEALOUSY, _ — — A Terrible Tragedy on South Seventh Street this Afternoon. Herman Effen Fires Point Blank at Herman Marx, But the Bullet Misses the Mark and Kills Effen’s Wife—A Terrible Scene While the Woman’s Dying Statement was Be- ing Taken—The Wife’s Tale—A Sensa.- tional Story. At 2:30this afternoon Herman Fffen, living at No. 506 South Seventh street, shot his wife, and the wound, which is in the abdomen was pronounced fatal by a physician who was cailedin to attend her. Effen was arrested shortly after the shooting. Effen’s attack on his wife is said to have been prompted by jealousy enter- tained by him towards a man named Herman Marx. Marx was. living as a boarder with the Effen family and the husband became Suspicion of his wife. This suspicion culimin- ated in the shooting this afternoon which, it is thought, will no doubt lead to his wife’s death. Effen’s wife was named Magdalena and was aged 39 years. Effen’s age is 40. There are three children, the eldest of whom is but 10 years old. Deputy Cor- oner Hennessy at 8 o’clock left the Four Courts with Effenin charge to take the ante-mortem statement ofthe murdered wo- man, who was sinking rapidly at that housy’ AN AWFUL SCENE. . When DeputygCoroner Hennessy arrived at the house, the scene which occurred there beggared description. Schoolhad just been dismissed, and the two older boys of the dying woman, aged respectively 8 and 10 years, had just come in from school. They had with difficulty pushed their way through the immense crowd which surrounded the house, and had rushed upstairs to where the mother lay dying On “the” “bed, In the second story front room. Near by was the father guarded by the officers, his eyes averted from his wife and fixed upon Marx who was helping to attend to the wants of Mrs. Effen. The older boy dropped his books just inside the door, ut- tered a plaintive cry, turned to run towards the bed, and then changed his mind and ran towards his father. The younger child fol- lowed. The scene hadaterrible effect upon all, especially upon the father. Pushing his children aside, he turned towards Marx and fairly screamed: ‘‘You G—d d—d——,. ] never meant to shoot her. I meant to kill you, and I'll do it yet.’’ The man was livid with passion and was with difficulty restrained, and after a while quiet was restored, fhe children were removed and the woman’s ante- mortem statement was taken as follows. It will be seen from it thatthe first statement given to the police was wrong, and that instead of firing at his wife, Effen attempted to shoot Marx and but his wife, instead. THE WOMAN’S STORY. Deputy Hennessy told Mrs. Effen she would die and asked her to make a dying statement. She said: ‘‘My husband,when he camein afew minutes ago, didn’t say a word. I thoughthe looked a little crazy. of the money I had promised him. the rent was due in a day or two and it must be provided for. Herman Marx, me and him and said to him ‘You —— —— ——,’ and drew his revolver and tried to shoot Marx, put Marx jumped aside and the shot hit me; he was then standing in the kitchen door.’’ He asked forthe balance I told him He then turned around to who was standing between ‘*‘What did your husband have against this man Marx?’’ ‘*He had a spite against him because he gave I ‘‘What did your husband say after he shot?’’ ‘‘He turned to Marx and said, ‘You:-———— I didn’t.’ ’’ ‘*‘Was your husband sober?’’ ‘*He did not look sober.’’ ‘*Did this man Marx board with you?’’ ‘‘Yes, sir; and has been boarding with me for about a half 4 year. My husband knew he was boarding with me, and was perfectly satisfied until within the last couple of days. It gave him pleasure to know thatI should keep company with othermen. any more. I have witnesses to prove he want- ed me to Reep company with other men.’’ I told him I would not do it ‘*What do you mean by that, that he wanted you to associate criminally with other men?’’ ‘*Yes, sir.’’ ‘*He wanted you to get money from them??’ a She said she felt certain that she was about to die, and said that the statement she was making was her dying statement. At its close, Effen was. taken back to the Four Courts, way being made with difficuity through the crowd which surrounded the residence. P Killed by a Surgical Opeyation.

The State Insurance Department have a new way of fighting the agents who violate the insurance law “by placing policies in com panies not authorized to do business in the State. They offering to dismiss no payment of costs the cases brought against the agents on the latter promising to place no more poli- cies in unauthorized companies. Mr. Kimball, however, refused to accept these terms, and determined to go to trial in the cases against him, claiming the law was unconstitutional. This morn- ing the State, which, of course, means the Insurance Department, in these cases made application in the Court of Criminal Correction for subp@na duce tecum against several business men with whom Kimball has Dusiness transac- tions, requiring them to produce their books in court. The subpm@mnas were ordered to issue. The Insurance Department thinks that if it can foree these business men to bring their private books into court for public inspection and keep them running up to the Four Courts as witnesses these men will soon tire of this kind of in- surance. DR. FITZPORTER. He Goes to Trial To-Day With a Big Array of Counsel. Dr. John L. Fitzporter went to trial to-day inthe Criminal Court, with an able array of coudsel, inthe case of manslaughter in the second deyree. Ex-Judge Wm. C. Jones, ex-Gov. Chas. P, Johnson, James Mr. Loring and Thomas Morris are ail engaged in defending him. The entire morning was taken up in selecting a jury, and the hearing of testimony did not commence until nearly 3 p. m. Qonsiderable difficulty was experienced in securing a jury, because of the prejudice existing against the defendant. A large number of men examined as jurors stated thatthey could not give him a fair and impartial trial because they had read so much about him that they had strongly (fixed opinions concerning him. One juror, when asked if he had read anything in the papers about this case, replied: ‘‘No;I missed this one.’’ In this charge Fitzporter is accused of per- forming acriminal operation on one Delia Meyers, on or about December 1, 1886, and in such operation killingthe child, hence the in- dictment for manslaughter. A UNITED STATES SOLDIER Caught Robbing a Man in the Center of the City. About 3 o’clock this morning Police Sergeant O'Donnell caught Michael Hart, a United States soldier, robbing a man at the cor- ner of Eighth and Market astreets. Hart had hold of the man who was drunk with one hand and was searching him with the other. When searched atthe station a lot of articles were taken from the soldier which were identitied by the other man, who gave the name of Walter W. Richt as his property and claimed he was a friend of Riehls, and was bringing him home. Riehl, however, did not even know Hart’s name. The latter is a recreafit having enlisted in the army justa weekago. - - Arrested Again. A couple of nights ago a man reported to the police at the Union Depotthathis overcoat had been stolen. Last night Officer Wall arrested Jacob Plaut, a youth 22 years of agé for the theft, but the owner of the coat refused to prosecute because he was leaving the city, and the boy had to be re- leased. This morning he was arrested at the Custom-house for stealing a valuable lady’s silk umbrella. He said he had found mo in einen standing there and was about to sell it. Took an Overdose. Prof. Luedeking to-day made his report to the Coroner of his analysis of § the matter taken from the stomach of Angelina Oliver, the colored domestic who died so suddenly at the house of Undine Seeber, No. 109 North Thirteenth street, He found that she died from a dose of ergot of rye. The supposition is that shetook the poison under the supposition that it was whiskey, or else that she took it for another purpose and took an overdose of the drug. Queer Things in China. From the London Daily News. A decree has been published inthe Pe- kin Gazette which gives definite shape to the negotiations of China with the Pope. The Cathedral schools, dwelling-houses, hospital, museum, printing-office, and library, so well known fora hundred and fifty years as the Peitang, are to be re- moved to another site a quarter of a mile distant. The Bishop is highly praised and rewarded with second rank decorations, as is also Mr. Commissioner Deitring of the Customs, Tientsin. Abbe Favier,who went to Rome and Paris from Pekin to conduct the (negotiations, is honored with the third rank decorations and £500. The accord of France with China seems to be perfect. The new cathedral and other buildings will be erected at the expense of the Chinese Government, following in this respect the example set by the great Emperor Kanghi in the latter part of the seventeenth century. The Empress wishes to have the cathedral which over- looks a park where she will reside occa- sionally, in the western precincts of the palace. What she will do with the cathe- dral is a secret, and perhaps not yet de- cided. It is to be hoped she will not make it a Buddhist temple. The new cathedral tower is to be limited to fifty feet in height, and to be, therefore, about thirty- five feet lower than the present one. Also, the tower in which the church bells are hung is to be not higher than the roof of the cathedral. The reasons for these restrictions in the height of the Roman Catholic Church buildings are purely superstitious. Ev- ery one is pleased because all have now what they wanted. The Chinese Govern- ment has got the height of the tower low- ered. The French have retained in a definite form the protectorate of the Catholic missions in China. The Roman Catholic Bishop and elergy, if they lose the cherished historical home where their predecessors struggled for so long with the heathenism of Pekin and the hostility of a Confucian court, have now won the favor of majesty and honors, which ele- vate them great Pi in the eyes of the court and the people of the metropolis.

Houses were rockéd, walls cracked and in some cases frail tenements were thrown to the ground. The people rushed from their houses and fell upon their knees in the streets praying for deliverance from sudden death. VISITORS LEAVING. Visitors to the city have become thoroughly frightened and are leaving the place. Many persons were injured by falling debris. Much alarm is felt lest there bea recurrence of the shocks. THE PRINCE OF WALES AT CANNES. The Prince of Wales, who was in Nice a few davs ago, witnessing the festivities which pre- cede Lenten season, had taken his departure and is safe at Cannes. AS FAR AS GENOA. Shocks were also felt at Monte Carlo and Monaco, at which places they were so severe that rocks were detached from the cliffs and precipitated into the sea. The disturoances extended as far as Genva. IN FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND. LONDON, February 23.—Further dispatches concerning the earthquakes in the south of Europe, this morning, state that two violent shocks were felt at Toulon at6o’elock. The first shock was of fifteen seconds’ duration and the second of twelve seconds. The movement was from west to At Cannes three shocks were at the same hour. The first shock which was very violent, lasted for a minute. The second and third shocks were not as heavy asthe first. Many persons at this place rushed tothe seashore for safety. Nobody was in- jured. “At Avignon three shocks were expe- rienced between 6 and 8 o’clock. The first shock was very severe and awakened every- body in the place. Several shocks were felt at Genoa ut 6 o’ clock, MANY CASUALTIES. 2:30 p. m.—A dispatch from Nice, dated noon to-day, says that many casualties were caused by the earthquake there this morn- ing. The people are panic-stricken and the entire population is in the streets. The railway station is besieged with visitors, who are anxious to leave at the first chance that offers. Two houses—one in St. Etienne carnival or the subsequent social events, re- mained THE CENTER OF INTEREST. Marie Van Zandt is at Nice or Cannes, it is not known to-day which place. Frederick Roose- velt of New York, Mr., Mrs. and Miss Looney of Baltimore, Mrs. Charles ¥. Roosevelt, her daughter and son, Mrs. McKee and children of Washington, the Baroness de Fava, wife of the Italian Minister to Washington, Miss Stuart Brown and many others are at Nice. Friends of persons at Nice and Cannes are besieging the telegraph offices for some in- telligence regarding the fate of those in whom they are interested. When it was announced that but three had been killed THE EXCITEMENT ABATED. Itis believed the earthquake did not affect Monte Carlo much, as it lies out of the line it is supposed to have traversed. But Toulon, which is ninety-eight miles from Nice, has suf- fered some damage. Toulon, though, is on the Mediterranean and _—_ thirty miles from Marseilles, where the quake was also felt. Cannes is nearly as crowded as Nice, but people are crowding out of the place as rapidly as possible. Its hotels have been uncomfortably full for weeks. Wm. W. Astor and his wife were at Cannes yesterday with their party. which includes Prescott Law- rence, Mr. and Mrs. Delano and Mrs. Tucker. Savona. Savona, where eleven persons are said to have been killed by the earthquake, is a city of 16,000 inhabitants in the province of Genoa, Italy. Itistwenty-five miles from the City of Genoa, and is onthe Mediterranean. It is a manufacturing city and exports a large amount of silk. GEORGE BANCROFT. The Distinguished and Aged Historian at the Point of Death. By Telegraph to the PostT-DItspatcn. WASHINGTON, D. C,, February 23.—George Bancroft, the historian, is at the point of death and itis feared that he will not be able to survive many hours. The immediate cause of his illness is an attack of pneumonia which, owing to his age, has so far baffled the skill of his physicians. A CHICKEN THIEF Gets Six Months in the Work-House Not- withstanding His Alibi. Abraham Plum, a negro chicken thief, was tried before Judge Noonan to-day on a charge of attempting to steal $5 worth of chickens from Mrs. Mary Nagel of No. 4201 Natural Bridaze road. Three witnesses testified to see- ing him with the chickens that evening and talking with him, and he was arrested while trying to make off with them. Nevertheless, Plum came forward with the never-failing de- fense of a negro—an alibi, and he produced six men of his own color who swore positively that he was at another place at the time thé uttempt was made to steal the chickens. His attorney, John I. Martin, asked for the discharge of his client on the grounds that the preponderence of evidence showed that the defendant was at another place when the at- tempted thett occurred. ‘*it makes no difference where else vour client may bave been at the time, Mr.Martin,’’ said the Court, ‘‘the evidenve clearly shows that he was around when those chickens were stolen. Aslam deter- mined to stop the chicken-stealing yoing on in that section of the city, I'll give your client six months in the Work-house.’’ The Stove Molders. The Union Stove Molders held a meeting last night at Pabst Hallon Seventh and Franklin avenue to consider the reply made them by the manufacturers in re- sponse te their demand for a 15 per cent increase in wages. About 200 men were present. The offer of the founders to increase the wages ten per cent on the Ist of June was discussed freely. It has been re- ported upon unfaverably at meetings of the various unions severally, and last night it was determined in the general meeting to forwar« a bill of grievances tothe Executive Boara at Cincinnati either by mail or a committee. The men regard the proposition to wait until June asamere trick. They say the foundries will then be ready to shut down for the sum- mer. The Evers Stove Manufacturing Company last Saturday made an advance of 10 per cent to the men without regard to the action of the other manufacturers. 7 i, Didn’t Steal the Pup. Michael McQuade, an old and respectable citizen, living at No. 2217 Wash street, was up street, and one in St. Phillipe street, and the Maison Burke were destroyed by the earth- quake. Three persons are buried in the ruins of these buildings. AT MARSEILLES. There was also a slight shock at Marseilles, this morning. The walls of a number of houses in that city were cracked. Shocks were also felt at Leghorn and Milan and sey- eral places in the Province of Genoa, Italy. ELEVEN PERSONS KILLED. At the time ofthe earthquake this morning the Riviera was crowded with English and American tourists and persons of distinction. When the first shock occurred thé streets of Nice were fairly thronged with persons in ball- room costumes returning to their homes from the last carnival ball of the season. To them the earthquake came with a peculiar terror. Tne shocks were felt with great severity at Savona, near Genoa, and anumber of houses were wrecked and eleven persons killed at that place. THE PRINCE OF WALES SAFE. P The Prince of Wales being at Cannes, the Queen became exceedingly anxious concern- ing him when she learned of the earthquake. Her Majesty at once telegraphed him. ‘The Prince immediately telegraphed a reassuring reply saying that he was well and uninjured. The Government, in consideration of the pop- ular concern about the safety of the Prince, has requested him by telegraph to return to England as soon as he can conveniently ‘‘to allay anxiety.’’ -— — NICE, The Earthquake-Stricken City Crowded with English and American Tourists. Paris, February;23.—The dispatches received from Nice state that the wildest confusion pre- vailed this morning when the earthquake shock was felt. Nice ordinarily is credited with but 60,000 people, though its fifty or more hotels are capable of accommodating 10,000 more if pushed to it. Itis probable that there are now fully 80,000 people in that beautiful city The season there has been very gay and the promenades have been crowded day andé night. It has been the rendezvous for the American colony in Europe, who have assem- bled there by the hundreds. THE FAMOUS BATTLE OF FLOWERS which attracted so many more to the charm- ing resort, was the most brilliant event in Europe this seasou, even if Mile. Jame Reye, the demi-mondaine, did get the prize for the most beautifully decorated vehicle and left the respectables with only tbeir envy. The presence of the Prince of Wales and suite has not been a greater feature than the preseace of 80 many beautiful American girls, who, d the first night’s torchlight masquerade of flower i Fd ; a » “| = Finda 9 si as iS") . ¢ bed ee ee. a Me ee ee a i ee eo . _= Pte, 2k 7 7 ee Pee pica Bi) ae ~ in the Court of Criminal Correction to-day on a charge of stealing a pup from Officer Thomas Church of 2004 Division street. The evidence showed that both men had pups which were so much alike in size, color and other particulars that it would be well- nigh impossible to tell one from _ the other. McQuade’s dog was stolen, and having that Church had it, he visited the house of the latter and took Church’s pup from the cellar under the impression that he was regaining possession of the animal stolen from him. As it was clearly a mistake he was discharged. Asylum Horror. CHARLESTON, W. Va., February 22.—The committee appointed by the Legislature to investigate the condition and management of the Insane Asylum made a re- port this morning. The report shows the management of the institution in a very bad condition and that in one case one of the female patients gave birth to a child and its paternity was charged to a maie patient, but the committee is of another opinion. The discharge of the superintendentis strongly recommended by the committee. New Charges. Another capias has been p!aced in the hands of Unitea States Marshal Couzins for Delegate Pete Morrissey, who acted as a Deputy Regis- ter in the Fifth Ward. He is already under bond in one case, but bas not yet been re- arrested on the second indictment. This morning Daniel McCormack was ar- raigned in the United States District Court on a second indictment for fraud at the last election. Jack P. Richardson gave bund for McCormack’s appearance on the first charge. To-day Judge Treat released McCormack on his own recognizance. The Count. Glover contest was continued this after- noon, and fifteen names were found registered from the same bouse. These all voted the Democratic ticket with Glover’s name scratched in the same hand- writing. No appreciable guins or losses were discovered this morning. . Carondelet Jottings.

Boulanger’s Opinion—RBeturns Showing Gains by the Government Parties—The Reichstag Sum- moned to Meet March 3—Duval, the Anarchist—Foreign News. Special Cablegram tothe Post-Dispatch. LONDON, February 23.—A fact at once recog- nized in regard to the German elections is the triumph of the Trinity, the Emperor, Chancel- lor and soldier. The interest in England at- taches itself only to two aspects of these elections. The first is the enormous increase of the Socialist vote in Berlin. In 1871 the vote polled was 2,058, not a much greater number than the Socialists of London at thie minute. Now it is 94,000, or more than one-quarter of the total vote. At the same time, however, the Socialists have lost several seats, some of which they will probably regain on the second ballot. The second aspect, and one of more imme- diate interest, is the attitude of Alace and Lorraine. Prince Hohenlohe warned the electors there that the return of the so-called Protesting deputies would materially increase the danger of war. Bismarck distinctly threat- ened them with bs] A STATE OF SIEGE if these were elected. Estimable citizens have been thrown into prison, newspapers sup- pressed, meetings dispersed, and a state of almost terrorism established. Yet, notwith- standing allthis, the two provinces have re- turned a solid phalanx of anti-annexationist deputies, This, of course, has produced an immense sensationin France. The National says: ‘‘The 2ist of February isadav which will remain eternally engraved on the heart of France.’’ The Liberte regards the Alsatian vote as ‘‘a proud reply tothe comminatory mancuvres of the Emperor’s iieutenant.’’ The Revanche says: ‘‘These two provinces are still the advanced forts of France.’’ Gen. Boulanger was naturally looked to for sone striking expression of opinion, Hesaid: ‘*When the ballot boxes speak as they did yes- terday, after fifteen years of occupation, one may weliask whether Alsace would not burst a war on France.’’ Onthe question whetherthe resultof the election as a whole, is for peace, English opinion seems divided. The Standard’s Vienna correspondent reiterates his assertion that Germany will demand from France, some guarantee of neutrality in case of an outbreak inthe East, or some explanation of her in- creased armaments near the frontier. eee—e—K, — A MAJORITY FOR THE SEPTENNATE, Opinion of the English Press on the Eleo- tion in Germany. Lonpon, February 23.—This morning’s Stand- ard has a special from Berlin saying that the majority for the Septennate is absolutely as- sured, the opposition having lost, upto the present, about thirty-eight votes and that Herr Richter’s party, the new German Lib- erals, is almost annihilated. Editorially the Standard says; ‘‘It is too soon to express a definite opinion, but it is safe to say that the Government is secure so far as the Septennate is concerned, that the Socialists have made great gains and there will still be a wide differ- ence between Prince Bismarck and the Reich- stag which will be very irritating to the former.’’ This, the Standard thinks, may finally lead to serious results. ‘*Ig there no danger,’’ the Standard goes on to say, ‘‘that the sentiment of irritation may help, ata given moment, to urge the country into violent decisions outside the sphere of domestic politics? It would indeed be a melancholy termination to a great career were I’rince Bismarck to be forced to head the internal feuds of his countrymen by inflaming them against a foreign foe.’’ SUCCESS OF THE FRENCH CANDIDATES. The Daily News thinks that the remarkable feature of the election i@the unexpected suo- cess of the Alsatianor French candidates. ‘*In the annexed provinces, our Paris corre- spondent reminds us,’’ says the News, ‘‘that among the remarkable incidents of the Ger- man elections must be reckoned the unex- pected success of the Alsatians or French can- didates in the annexed provinces. Their re- turn to the number of fifteen would in any case have’been significant, but the menacing speech recently delivered by Prince Hohen- lohe, the strong measures taken against Frenchmen in Alsace and Lorraine, and the critical relations of the French Republic with the German Empire add importance to this really separatist vote.’’ The News, while admitting that the result will be a positive victory for the Government, points to the practical defeat ofthe efforts of the Pope, saying: ‘*The Pope is finding out in Germany, as he has found out in Ireland, that politicians who happen to be Catholics, or represent Catholic voters, do not recognize the infallibility of the Church or the Sovereign Pontiff in secular affairs. That Rome would have put down the National League, if it could, there is little reason to doubt. On the other hand, Mr. De Lisle, an English Catholic member of Parliament, would like to see the Archbishops of Dublin and Cashel in the dock at the Old Bailey. The political power of the church has disappeared, and it is not likely in this generation, if ever, to raise its head again.’’ oe ora lee COMPLETELY SNOWED UNDER. The New German Liberals Gloomy Over the Result of the Elections. BERLIN, February 23.—I had an interview yesterday afternoon with Herr Eugene Rich- ter, the new German Liberal leader, in which he admitted that the prospects for his party were gloomy indeed. He seemed to be ina slough’ of despondency. He said that while the Socialists had gained greatly in votes they had lost the entire kingdom of Saxony in

The Garrison company have purchased enough of the stock at 50 cents per share to put $50,000 in the treasury.

G, Peterson has received a number of letters from posts of the Grand Army of the Republic all over the country ask- ing for information as to the rates that will be made by the railroads for the ben- efit of visitors to the encampment in St, Louis in Sepsémber. In order to. re- turn definite ) answers, Mr. Peterson went to see allroad officials and Was surprised to learn the railroads did not intend to make any special rates at all. They told him the inter- state commerce bill which would go into effect befor the encampment pro- hibited the making oof any reduc- tion in their fares, such as was asked. Ife then wrote to Senator Cullom and is in receipt of a letter Which at least shows the views of the man who is credited with the authorship of the bill. The Senator says the biil does pot prohibit the making of speciai rates of the kind wanted by the promoters of the encamp- meet, but expressly permits reduction a passenger rates for great national gatherings, such as political or other conventions.

THE PRESIDENT CONTEMPLATING A PLEAS- URE TRIP IN THE SPRING. —— ee Mrs. Pavy Fighting Against the Confirma- tion of Capt, Greely—Col. Broadhead U for Appointment on the Inter- state Commission—Modest Mr. Graves— The Presidency of the Senate—The Fish~- ery Retaliation Bill in the House—Con- gressional Proeeedings. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D., O., February 23.—The Pres- ident has intimated to some of his most per- sonal and political friends that during the summer, in company with Mrs. Cleveland and members of the Cabinet with their families, he will make an extended trip through the South and West. He will visit the Sougsh in the spring, and the West after the warm weather of the summer has passed. It is to be a gen- eral ‘‘swing around the cirele,’’ possibly, as many believe, for political effect. Broadhead’s Appointment Urged, By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPpaTcn. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 23.—A num- ber ofthe Missouri delegation called upon the President this morning to urgethe ap- pointment of Col. Broadhead upon the Inter- state Railway Commission. The President re- mains non-committal upon the subject and has not intimated who will be appointed, other than Kernan of New York and, possibly, Bragg of Alabaina. Col. Broadhead’s chances are regarded as good asany other Western man’s so farnamed. Inthe event Mr. Mor- rison is appointed, which seems very prob- able now, there will be littie hope for Col. Broadhead, as it is the desire ofthe President to select the commissioners with regard to geographical locations and he does not desire to take any two of them from the same section. Attorney-General Garland is authority for the statement that the President will not recognize any member of the present Congress, but if he was inclined todoso he would select Mr. Morrison. In case the President adheres strictly to what the Attorney-General savs he will, the friends of Col, Broadhead feel that his prospects are good in the extreme. Modest Mr. Graves. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 23.—Chiet Graves of the Bureau of Printing and En- graving in a conversation concerning his chances for the Treasurership, said this morn- ing: ‘‘I will not say that the advancement would not be welcome, butI have been very handsomely dealt with by this Administra- tion, and could hardly expect anything more. In my opinion, nothing’ will be done about the Treasurership until anew Secretary is selected, and it will then greatly depend on his wishes asto who Mr. Jordan’s successor will be. Ithink in the end Mr. Fair- child willbe found to bethe most available man for the yaa omg sige There may be method in Mr. Graves’ desire to see Mr. Fairchild Secretary. It was Fair- child who placed Mr. Graves where he is, and in the event Fairchild is appointed Secretary he will no doubt ask to have Graves made Treasurer. Graves is an out and out Mug- wump, and stands perhaps as close to the Presidemt as any Democrat in public life here. The Opposition to Greely. By Telegraph to the PostT-Dispatcn. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 23.—Mrs. Pavy, widow of Dr. Pavy, formerly of St. Louis, and one of those who perished in the Arctic relief expedition, is waging vig- orous warfare on Capt. Greely, recently ap- ointed chief of the Signal Bureau. Mrs. ‘avy says she will be able to defeat Greely’s confirmation, and has furnished the Senate Committee with a great deal of damaging information. The cause of Mrs. Pavy’s objections is based upon Greely’s conduct toward her husband and others whiie on the expedition, which sne shows by letters to have been about as brutal as could well be imagined. Had it not been for this information furnished the Military Affairs Committee, Greely’s appointment would have been favorably reported to the Senate. But now itis held up until Mrs. Pavy can be fully heard, which may resuit in his rejection. The Presidency of the Senate. WASHINGTON, D.C., Febraary 23.—Republi- can Senators will caucus to-morrow to select a candiaate for the Presidency of the Senate. Hoar and Ingalls are the only persons promi- nently mentioned in connection with the ‘honor. Secretary Manning resumed his duties at the Treasury Department this morning. PENSION BILLS APPROVED. The President has approved fifty-seven pri- vate pension bills since Monday and has re- turned thrée private bills to Congress without his approval. Opposed by Mrs. Pavy. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 23.—Mrs. Pavy, widow of Dr. Pavy, who wasa member of the late Arctic expedition to Lady Franklin Bay, appeared before the Senate Committee on Military Affairs yesterday to oppose the pending nomination of Capt. Greely to be Chief Signal Officer. She requested the com- mittee to defer action on the nomination until Saturday, when she proposed to submit cer- tain documents in opposition to confirmation. — - + ~ - FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS. Senate. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 23.—Petitions, in very large numbers, from Grand Army Posts, asking for the passage of the dependent pension billover the President’s veto, were presented from Ohio, Michigan, Lilineis, Indi- ana, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, New York, lowa ana Maine. Hiouse. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 28.—Mr. Reavan of Texas asked unanimons consent for the immediate conaideration of the Senate bill incorporating the Atlantic & Pacific Ship Rail- “77 Company. r. Anderson of Kansas objected and the bill was referred to the Committee on Com- merce. Mr. Willis of Kentucky asked that the House nonconcur in the Senate amendments to the river and harbor appropriation bill, but Mr. Anderson also objected to this request (which, if granted, would throw the bill immediately into conference), and the bill was referred to the appropriate committee. Mr. Willis immediately reported it back, and upon a poins of order it was sent to the Committee of the Whole. Mr. Dingley of Maine presented memorials of the ne Legisiature in favor of legislation to protect American fisheries, and for the passage of pleuro-pneumonia biil, Mr. Belmont of New York, from the Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs, reported the House substitute bill for the Senate Retaliation bill, anc, under the special order, asked for its immediate consideration. Mr. Rice of Massachusetts raised of order that the substitute must be referred to the committee of the whole, on the ground that it affected the revenue. The Speaker overruled the point of order, piting that there was nothing on the face of the bill which showed that it would either in- crease Or reduce the revenue. In the course of a brief discussion as to the limitation of debate, Mr. Rice referred to the substitute as the Belmont Dill, a distinction which Mr. Belmont disclaimed, stating that it was the committee bill, and that it had the ap- roval of those who were best qualified to udge of our relations with other Govern: ments. It was finally determined that debate should be limited to three hours. Mr. Belmont opened the debate by dwelling upon the importance of the subject upon which the House was nowaskedtoact. The question of the fisheries was one that had en- gaged the attention of the Government from its foundation, and though from time to time temporary arrangements had settled it, it had not reached a point when it again demanded the serious consideration of the country. It was nota mere commercial question, simply affecting restriction on American fishermen; the important question was whether the United States was willing to acquiesce in a repeated violation ofa treaty. He oriefly sketched the course of the Canadian legislation and com- mented upon it in the light of the ooreeees ence recently published een Great Britain and the United States. Soon after the adjourn- ment of Congress the ing season would the point —emenne, m.. in self-defense oO ensive on spouts | © confe + been “no ‘ gt IMPORTANT OPEN! NG NEW SPRING NOVELTY DRESS GOops! as to the advisability of giving this power, but the bill, as it came from the Senate, was open tocertain objections. It provided in one section that the President should issue his proclamation in case he was satisfied that our vessels were denied rights granted to the most favored nations. We had no treaty with Great Britain containing any favored nation clause, nor did we intend to put ourselves on the same footing as any other nation, since, under the treaty of peace, we had cer- tain rights in the deep-sea fisheries which no other nation except Great Britain herself possessed. It was but fair to the Executive, when Congress placed upon him avery great responsibility, that it should be conferred in distinc terms. This he did not think the Senate bill did, and he, therefore, favored the adoption of the substitute. Mr. Rice said that there should be no party in a question of this importance—a auestion which affected the entire nation. When he had alluded to the ‘‘Belmont’’ bill, he had done so inadvertently, being misled by the fact that the report made to the House did not purport to be the report of the Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs, but the re- port of Mr. Belmont. The Senate bill was not a party bill, but kad been passed after careful consideration and able discus- sion, by the votes of Senators on both sides of the chamber. Something must be done to protect our national honor. During the past year 100 of our vessels had been subjected to search, and some of them to seizure, by Cana- dian authorities, for touching at Canadian ports for purposes of trade. ft was a very vital question to American honor, whether any Canadian ofticer possessed such a right of search and _ seizure. A vessel named ‘*Grover Cleveland’’ bad been stopped, anda vessel named T. F. Bavard had been warned off as a suspicious character. It was im- portantthat there shoyld be power some- where to protect American honor when atf- fected in so vitala point as this. The Senate bill provided an effective remedy. If Great Britain shutjour vessels out we would shutout her fish. If sheshutthe door in our face we would say ‘‘Not at home’’ when she sent up her card to us. The substitute bill suggested a violation of our treaty obligations with Great Britain, which, to his mind, was absolutely unneces- sary, and not only unnecessary Dut im- politic. The Senate bill covered promptly and effectively every necessity of the case. Wedidnot want any war with Great Britain. This gasconading talk about war with Great Britain was nonsense. We could not afford to go to war Great Britain. Mr. Millien of Maine: Suppose she should go toward us? Mr. Rice replied that we would undoubtedly whip her in the end, but that there was no necessityfor war. One year of exclusion of Canadian fish would bring to an end all the injuries and outrages which were being per- petrated upon our fishermen. Mr. Clements of Georgia stated that the substitute was a committee measure and ma- terially differed fromthe Belmont bill, and he regretted that in the discussion of so grave a question as was now pending, the yentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Rice), should seek to give it a partisan tinge. | The trouble with Canada had originated in what had been calied ‘‘a mere skirmish about fish;’’ butit had assumed larger proportions than a skirmish. The American flag had been hauled dow and 150 American vessels had been sel&rched or warned off, and the honor of the Government was in- volved. He contended that the remedy was better provided in the substitute than in the Senate bill, and he criticised the latter meas- ure for claiming only the same rights for our fishermen that were accorded to the subjects of the most favored nations. The substitute was better framed in this respect. Another differ- ence between the two measures was that the House Dbiil authorized the Presi- dent to stop the coming of locomo- tives and cars into the United States. gentlemen from the Northwest should not complain of this provision. It was nota New England question. He hoped that tne President would not be regnired to exer- cise any part of the power conferred upon him; but when it was proposed to deal with the question on the basis of non-inter- course, the Government ought not to stop with the mere prohibition of the incoming of Canadian fish. The House passed, with but one dissentidg vote, the Senate fisheries retalliation bill, amended by the adoption of the substitute re- ported from the Committee on Foreign Affairs. “Nene Smith-Robertson Contest.

Curran’s Bill to Repeal the 100-Yard Law— The Macklin-O’Brien Contest—Senator McGinnis’ Bill Repealing the Poplar street Track Privileges Indefinitely Post- poned—Lively Debate on the Railroad Bill — Proceedings of the Missouri Legislature. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. JEFFERSON Crty, Mo., February 23.—At 2 o’clock this afternoon the House considered the militia bill, which had been made the special order forengrossment at that hour, The friends of the measure, on the floor, as- sisted by Maj. Comfort, Capts. Cavender and Goode, Adjutant-General Jamison and an able lobby, are working industriously in its favor. Gov. Marmaduke and his personal and political friends are also numbered among those who desire the adoption of a good militia law, and should the bill fail of passage it certainly will not be for want of support from the State ad- ministration. Mr. Harry Shaw of Ste. Genevieve, Chairman of the House Militia Committee, said this morning: ‘‘lam hopeful of success this afternoon on a motion to engross the militia bill, and I honestly believe that, should the House engrosa it, it will also finally pass the measure. We have no amendments of any importance to offer, and will make an effort to push the bill through justasitis. An attempt may be made by the enemies of the militia to cut down the $50,000 appropriation, but I don’t think it will succeed. A militia bill without that appropriation would be practically use- less, and we would rather not have it. REPEALING THE 100-YARD LAW. Representative Curran of St. Louis this morning introduced inthe House a bill relat- ing to crimes and criminal procedure and re- pealing what is generally known asthe ‘‘100- yard law’’ adopted atthe last session of the State Legislature. The measure makes a clean sweep of the provisions of the statute prohibiting the location of an assignation or bawdy house within 100 yards of any church or public building or institution, and enacts nothing in their place, leaving the law regu- lating such houses the same as previous to the passage of the 100- yard law. THE MACKLIN-O’BRIEN CASE. The Speaker this morning presented to the House the returns in the Macklin-O’ Brien con- test, made to him by the Reeorder of Voters of St. Louis. The resuit of the recount of the vote in the 54th and 122d precincts, which was supposed to be in doubt was Macklin 238, O’Brien 229; Macklin’s majority, 9. In view of the return it is highly probabie that the Com- mittee on Privileges and Elections will report in Macklin’s favor aad that ne will not be dis- turbed in the possession of his seat. THE SENATE, Senator McGinnis’ bill repealing the law of 1864 granting the Poplar street track privi- leges, Which had been laid over at a previous sitting of the Senate, was called up by the author this morning, who in doing so said: ‘‘The object of the bill was to repeal the law by which the control of the track rested with the State and give entire control to the City of St. Louis, so thatthe question of the right of the use of the track might be disposed of by the VUity Municipal Assembly. Should the bill pass it would place alliof the responsibility of the manage- inentof the track with the city of 8t. Louis. Now the city does not appear to be desirous of assuming that responsibility, and I move the indefinite postponement of further con- sideration of the measure.’’ A vote wae taken and the motion prevailed. Tothe Post» DISPATCH correspondent, Senator McGinnis said that he had laid the matter before Mayor Francis, but as the Mayor seemed to entertain no opinion upon the subject, either one way or the other, and could see no special advan- tages to the city in the bill, he had concluded to abandon it. The Senate Committee on Internal Improve- ments this morning reported favorably the House bill relating to railroads and prohibit- ing the acceptance of free passes or reduced- rate tickets by State officials and Members of the Legislature. A motion to engross the bili, with the emergency clause, was opposed by Senator McGinnis of 8t. Louis. He said that the House had first passed the measure, and then, con- trary to all precedent, had sent a message to the Senate in the form of a resolution asking the Senate to adopt an a ged clause. Sucha proceeding, he said, never been heard of before, and he was opposed to legis. lating in that way. The bill was then ordered se engrossment without the emergency ause. The rules were suspended and the bill ap- propriating $250,000 for the improvement of the wt capitol building was ordered to engross- ment. Senator Moran of Buchanan moved to im- mediately consider the Senate railroad bill, but after a great decal of discussio", & be Sena- tor’s motion havi received nowes nd, was passed over and bills were tak: ck tor third reading and passage.

THE HOUSE. In the House this morning Lewis Boulton of Morgan County, the Democratic caucus nom- inee was unanimously elected doorkeeper to fillthe vacancy caused bythe death of Mr. Wim. Dunn. Senate bill No. 1, authorizing cities of 100,00 inhabitants and overto incorporate under 4 special charter, was taken up and passed. At ll o’clock the House took up for consid. eration the railroad.bill reported by the Com. mittee on Internal Improvements. Noland of St. Louis got the floor and moved to strike out the fourth clause of the bill, empowering the State Railroad Commissioners to fix and enforce a schedule of freight and passenger rates. He referred to the attacks made upon him by certain newspapers, and on bein called to order on 4 point made by Nat Shelton of Schuyler, said that he thought he could show that the bill had been drawn in the interest of railroad companies, and proceeded to support his posi. tion in an elaborate legal argument in which he read at length from anumber of decisions bearing upon ig 2 ge oy The best point made by him was that the Railroad Comuis-. sioners should fix the maximum rates before the adjournment of the Legislature, to the end they might report the schedule to tie General Assembly, and let the members act upon it. Noland was cut short in the middle of his speech by Speaker Alexander who ruled him out of order on the ground that his remarks applied to the entire pill, whereas they should be confined strictly to the subject matter of his motion or amendment. ‘*‘Well, the Speaker has the advantage of me and I bow to his decision,’’ said Noland. ‘‘Icertainly assume all the responsibility of the ruling,’’ answered Mr. Alexander. Noland still held the floor and protested against the attempt of certain members to ‘frun over him,’’ as he said, with motions to adjourn, or to take arecess. Finally, after his right to the floor and to recognition had bees announced by the Speaker, he yielded volun- — and a motion totake a recess pre vailed. THE MILITIA BILL CALLED TP, When the House reassembied at? o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Harry Shaw of Ste. (ene- vieve called up the militia bil! for engross- ment, and supported the measure in an abie speech. Mr. Moore of Laclede opposed the bill, and it is now under consideration. A TRIO TAKEN 1.

The delegation of business men which left St. Louisfor Jefferson City yesterday morn- ing in the interest of the militia bill and other measures now pending and deemed of particular interest to this city, returned this morning. They were forty-five in number and represented nearly all the business interests of the city, and had a strong contingent from the trades. MR. SAMUEL CUPPLES, a member oftneparty, was seen this morning at his place of business and spoke of the trip. ‘*‘We arrived in Jefferson City,’’ he said, ‘‘fabout 1 p. m. yesterday.. The after- noon was occupied by some of the delegation in personally interviewing the members who had siwn themselves as op- posed to the militia bill on the question of its engrossment. There was considerable mis- understanding about the bill and its provis- ions. Some had opposed it on the ground that it gave the Sheriff the power to call out the militia, and they were surprised when shown that the statutes _ already gave him that power. Other oppo- sition on the ground of its expense was waived when that was thoroughly ex- plained. Under the appropriation by the general Government Missouri would be en- titled to $15,000 per year as her. share and forefinger of which were tightly hela the emblems of decay, he impressively drew the pinch of ashes over the fore- head of the penitent, making the sign of the cross, and gonorously saying in Latin: ‘‘Remember, O man, thatthou art dust and to dust thou shalt re- turn.’’ This ceremony was gone through with every one and consumed considerable time, but each pong looks of satisfaction and comfort showed how valuable had been the services to him or her. _To-night at the game church at 8 o’clock there will beasermon by President Moeller with benediction and distribution of ashes.

CINCINNATI, O., February 23.—It was within five minutes of an hour after the time for con- vening this morning when the Chair called about one-half of the delegates to order. The other half was either busy at committee work or was disinclined to early work. It was or- dered that a list of all delegates be furnished by each State and Territory for publication in the proceedings. The Committee on Credentials made their final report. On motion of Mr. Taylor of Wis- consin a vote of thanks was tendered the com- mittee. The business not being pressing a delegate moved that a gavel be procured for the use of the Chairman, and the vote was formally taken and carried. THE OKLAHOMA MOVEMENT. On motion of Mr. Severance of Wiseonsin the rules were suspended and Mr. Crocker of Kansas was permitted to expiain the Oxla- homa movement and to present a preamble and resolution in regard to that matter. Mr. Crocker proceeded toread a preamble recit- ing the action of Congress with reference to the acquiring of that ground, its grant to the railroad company and its subsequent for- feiture, and declaring that this land is now in possession of a vast cattle syndicate by undue influence of United States courts, army and other offi- cers, and closed by a resolution severely cen- suring the action of present Administration and demanding the pesca of the now pend- ing Oklahoma bill, and if this Congress does not pass this bill, then requesting the Presi- denttoconvene the next Congress in extra session to pass the bill.

S Seas SENATOR SHERMAN has resigned the po- sition of pro tem. President of the Senate. Stripping for the nomination race. _* — — —— Ir any measures have been started at Jefferson City to equalize the railroad as- sessment of Missouri we have not heard of it. — « —— THe railroad bill is not an attack on the prosperity of the railroads.

The water he gives us to drink is an unanswerable argument against Prohibition. —_——— Oe FOLLOWING Mr. SAMUEL’S létter On the side of the railroads we print another letter to-day from another friend of the Jay Gould management, as an indication of our willingness to give both sides a fair hearing. —————_ > _-—_- a GERMAN election returns indicate changes enough to pass the septennate bill by a fair majority, but not changes of the sort that will make BISMARCK sure of bullying’ his other measures through the Reichstag. Both in Germany and Francethe bourses hail the result as an assurance of peace. —_— — — & — ————— IMPERIAL paternalism has produced the opposite extreme of Socialism in Ger- ' many, and nowthese extremes meet in the Reichstag. BIsMARCK has tried re- pression on this new political element, andif itshould now attain that balance of power which the Catholic Center has used so effectually, it will be interesting to watch the policy of mingled coercion and concession with which BISMARCK will try to control the new force in the Reichs- tag. ONCE more the Senate has voted against considering the resolution providing for an investigation of Pacific Railroad affairs. A majority of the Senators are of the opinion that too much is known on that subject already by outsiders. As for themselves, they have for colleagues the President of one of the Pacific roads, the big boss of the Pacific Railroad pool, in fact, and more well-paid railroad attor- meys than any outsider knows of to im- part the kind of information they want. — a a _ | —_—— -— — | — THE railroads of Missouri have no cause _ tocomplain of press censures or of legisla- ‘tive opposition, or of hard treatment of any kind. Through the kindness of the State Board of Equalization, and as a consequence of undervaluation,they re- ceive from the unwilling tax-payers an annual subsidy of not less than half a million dollars. Ifthey were assessed as the tax-payers of St. Louis are assessed they would pay even more than that. While this subsidy is continued, it does not look well for the railroads to complain of **hostility.” — -_ —, _—— Tue Senate calls for publication of all the documents bearing upon its rejection of Matruews, the President’s colored protege from Albany. But it is the ac- cepted, not the rejected fellows that the country is most interested in. The Texas outrage mill which the Senate now has in full operation should be a sufficient **hedge’’ on its treatment of MaTTHEWs, who is completely done for by two rejeo- tions. Instead of pursuing this colored person into the shades of private life, why mot publish the documents relating to some of the notorious white citizens whom the Senate has confirmed? — ball In SPITE of Prince HOHENLOHE’S bull- dozing address to the Alsatians, and in spite of the house-searching and arrests on charges of treason, they elect by large majorities a solid delegation of “*protesters’’ to the Reichstag. This, un- the circumstances, is very flattering France and very galling to Germany, it makes all the world ask why this German population refuses to be reconciled to the Fatherland and still man- ifests such devoted affection for France seventeen years after being wrested from ‘ | republicans or because they consider & French connection more conducive to the prosperity of their country, their persistence is certainly not conducive to peace between France and Germany. So long as they appeal thus with outstretched hands to France, there will be no reduc- tion of armies, no cessation of military preparations on either side of them. ——— Ml THE MILITIA QUESTION. We commend to the careful considera- tion of the Republicans of the Missouri Legislature the following remonstrance of the New York Tribune against their blundering action on the militia bill: The sentiment of hostility to the militia is incompatibie with loyalty to the republican system of government. Already, owing to the demagogy of some officials here and there, capital has been driven to the hire of mer- cenaries for its defense. The conséquences involved in legislative action leading to the disbandment of the militia go to the very roots ofthe whole existing fabric of society. Itis not to be supposed that property-owners will cease to defend what they possess because the State refuses to perform its duty to them. They will assuredly make no such surrender of their rights. But they will be compelled in such a case, if they do not choose to withdraw altogether, or if withdrawal is impracticable, to organize forces for their own protection; and this means reversion to private war and the loose and insecure social system of the Middle Ages. Itis upon this dangerous path that the Legisiature of Missouri appears to have entered. But we feel authorized to deny the as- sumption of the Tribune in the same article that the vote against the militia bill was ‘San expression of enmity to all methods whereby law and order are preserved.”’ It was, on the contrary, the expression of a profound belief that the people of Mis- souri are too law-abiding, too free from any disorderly elements, to need a militia establishment. Instead of resentfully vot- ing to destroy ‘‘regiments which did such ‘‘important service during the great ‘‘strikes,’’ as the Tribune supposes, and taking ‘“‘the wholly untenable position ‘‘that there ought to be no State inter- ‘‘ference with any violence or outrage ‘*nerpetrated during labor strikes, ”’ the Missouri Legislature was simply misled by the fact that peace had been maintained and the laws enforced? promptly and bloodlessly in this State without the aid of militia, during labor strikes; when similar strikes were far more protracted and bloody and had to be suppressed by mili- tary force in the Republican States of I1li- nois and Wisconsin. In fact the mistake of our Legislature was in not considering the moral effect of having an adequate militia force in re- serve behind the ordinary police force, and in jumping rashly to the conclusion that society is far safer from outbreaks of turbulence in Missouri than in any of her sister States. This is the position from which the Legislature is asked to recede, so as not to strip Missouri of the security of a militia because |:-r authorities have on some occasions manifested their tact and good sense by quieting serious dis- turbances before resorting to military force. ——— a -- THE WATER QUESTION, The quality of the water furnished to the people of St. Louis is getting to be a serious matter. It is almost impossible to exaggerate the loss and damage inflicted on the city by the failure of the settling reservoirs to do their work, and the need of additional facilities is urgently im- pressed on us ‘by the situation. The people who live in St. Louis and who have to take what they can get are patient and good-natured. They look upon a few weeks of muddy water as merely an incident in a long series of illustrations of municipal muisgovern- ment; but strangers in the city do not take the same easy-going view of things. The water needed for drinking purposes can be filtered, but the water used for personal ablutions comes reeking from the faucets in a brown, grimy, repulsive stream which no one wants to touch. it is unfit for its purpose, and its unpleasant aspects are enough to prejudice all visitors to St. Louis against the whole city. If the nuisance were the result of any accident, or if it were merely temporary in its nature, the harm it does might be borne. Butit has already lasted too long, we do not know when it will come to an end. We have no guarantee against its recurrence. Anabundant supply of clean and wholesome water is one of the essen- tials of a modern city, and the city that is able to collect a million dollars every year to pave a few blocks with granite is surely able to pay the cost of a settling reservoir that will permanently relievg us from the evils we now endure. — | — MUSIC AND WORK. Congressman O'NEILL, in his capacity asa ¢hampion of the oppressed laborers of the country, has finally obtained an order from the Secretary of War forbidding the Arsenal Band to compete with the local bands of the country. We do not know exactly how this is going to promote the solution of the labor probiem, or make life any pleasanter for the ordinary workingman; but we are confident, nevertheless, that such is its purpose and ten- dency, or Mr. O’NEILL would scorn to have his name associated with it for future genera- tions to gaze at in a puzzled and wondering way .—[Globe- Democrat. It is a small matter, but one worth un- derstanding. The musician is a workman, and, contrary to the general opinion, his work is quite as hard and his pay as smal! as that of the carpenter or baker. As such he does object to being taxed on the one hand to support a Government which pays musicians out of the proceeds of his taxation, when, on the other hand, he finds these Government musicans whom he pays to support, . underbidding bim in his attempt to gain a living by his thade. The fact that the musicians of St, _ , eee wy : Louis are comparatively few in numbers | _ and uninfiuential does not lessen their right to protection from such unfair com- petition, and we are very certain that every one who will take the trouble to give the subject a little thought, every one who thinks that the welfare of the musi- cians is worth more than the cheapness of music will see that the new order from Washington, will ‘‘make life much pleas- anter for the ordinary workingman” whose work consists in playing music. —_——— a _O THE appropriation of $10,000 for seed for the drouth-stricken district of Texas was a small thing in itself, but it involved a principle which was quite enough, if logic- ally followed up, to bankrupt the richest nation of the earth, and overshadow even the extravagance of the vetoed service pension bill. There is nothing which eréites want on so extensive a scale as the certainty that the want will be relieved without work, and in the vast area of this country the possibilities of calls on the Federal Treasury for relief are beyond calculation. The summer drouths would be multiplied, the spring floods would be welcomed, the cyclone would be a bo- nanza, the earthquake would be the making of the city it visited, and forest fires would relieve the backwoodsman of all need of daily toil. The only un- fortunates would be those who had met with no misfortune, and who had to work six daysin the week to furnish the Gov- ernment with money for relief purposes. —_————_— 0 GEN. SHERIDAN told Congress the plain truth when he told them that the idea of ‘‘defending our coasts’? was impractica- ble, that before we could cast big guns or heavy armament of any kind we would need the plant. and that it would take from three to five years before any fin- ished work could be turned out. mentioned that the Krupp guns, which were bought by all sensible European powers, were made by secret processes, which we need not count on rival- ing, and his whole testimony throws a damper over the ardor of those who are anxious to rush into the business of de- fending our coasts for the sake of spend- modern batteries of artillery, but above all let us know what we are doing when we are spending the money. _-- > ¢ — -—_—_— Ine High Phat. Bill Nye in the New York WORLD. I feel of a truth—occasionally—that this high hat is making an oid man of me and drawing lines of care here and there over my fair young face. Here at atime of life when Il ought to be in the full flush and pride of manhood I find myself no longer able to build the firein the morning, and my breath, which Was once as robust as that of the upas tree, now comes in short pants. The tall hat with a wad of timotby ora five- pound pompon at the apex thereof, has brought this about. How would aman look who might sit in the baild- headed row wearing a joint of stovepipe on his head trimmed with hay? Has it not been the custom for years to place bald-headed men on the frontrow, be- cause they offered no obstruction to the vis- ion? And now, what do we sec? We do not see anything! I will leave ittoany disinterested person to say whether Ido not love andadmire woman, whether aggregated or segregated, but she does do some things which, as her friend and admirer, I deeply regret. Gov. Gordon’s Revolt. From the Philadelphia Record. Gov. Gordon of Georgia has set himself firm- ly against the convict lease system of that State, and has astonished those who thought that he would bea pliant toolin the hands of the men who have hitherto controlled the public offices and works, and who lbidive en- riched themselves by trafficking in what in the eyes of many is virtually tue most degraa- ing species of slavery. it might have been thought that the passage of a bill requiring each convict camp to be attended py a phys!- cian would have been welcomed as an illustra- tion of the humanitarian spirit of the age, in- stead of calling forth denunciation; but it ig goodto find that Gov. Gordon has arrayed himself on the side of the people, and that he isnotto be deterred from carrying out the trust they have imposed upon him. Pensions for Rich Men. From the New York WoRLD. The absurdity ofthe Mexican pension act In granting annuities to veterans of that war re- gardiess of their physical condition or pe- cuniary needs, upon their arriving at the ace of 62 years, is- illustrated by the case of ex- United States Senator ‘‘Cerro Gordo’’ Wiill- lams of Kentucky. The first certificate issued under the law is to arich man, Gen. Williams, who, although ‘‘the owner of one of the finest and most valuable farms in the celebrated ‘Blue Grass’ region,’’ will receive $8 a month during the remainder of his life, because he participated in the Mexican war and is 62 years old. And Gen. Williams is a representative of thousands of well-to-do veterans. It is the indiscriminating and recklessly wholesale character of the law which makes it so objec- able. etieendl MEN OF MARK. POSTMASTER-GENERAL VILAS 18 at present resting at Fortress Monroe.

THOMAS SPRIGGS is quoted as saying that before July 1 President Cicve- land will teavye a@ letterin the hands of the National Democratic Committee declining to be a candidate for re-election. PRIVATE advices from London state that Martin F. Tupper is almost entirely broken down in health. He can neither read, write nor speak intelligibly, though his mind its clear. He will be 77 next July. ' Dr. Hainswaxp, the African traveller, says thatin Zululand he met the savage who killed the French Prince Imperial, and told him that if he had only taken the young man pris- oner he might have got a large ransom, whereupon the Zulu wept with regret and grief. Pror. Hoppin, who presided at the dinner of the Brown Alumni, cast a damper over the spirits of the truant husbands of the party by hoping ‘‘that the married men have the per- mission fromthe home government—for we all believe in home rule—to carry a latch-key to-night.’’ JERRY Hopper, who died of Rright’s disease at Bay City, Mich., on Friday, is remembered as having caught a little babe in his arms, which, at his order, a mother tossed from the upper story of a burning building. He was one of the best performers in the sawdust ring and is said to have been the first man to introduce the tal! stilts into a circus. 8.S.STAFFORD writes to the New Yerk WORLD to say that Samuel Bayard Stafford of Prince George County, Md., has bequeathed to him the first American flag ever made, which was hoisted on the Bonhomme Richard at the time of the battle with the Emglish frigate Serapis. The flag was the property of Lieut. James Stafford, the father of 8. B. Stafford, and the He also- grandson of Col. Jacob Stafford, who fought under Stark at Bennington. WOMEN OF THE WORLD.

In her youthful days Mrs. Pendleton Dand- ridge, the daughter of President Zach Taylor, was a belle in Washington, where she was known as Miss Bettie. She is now visiting friends at the national capital. Mrs. HETTIE GREEN, the Princess of Wall street, and the richest woman in America, wanted to send $1,000,000 of the securities of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad over to Philadelphia, but the bank said it would cost $100. She took it herself and saved $96. QUEEN MARGHERITA of Italy reads, writes, from Leipsic, from Lendon, from Paris, from Rome, the most important publications in lit- erature, art and science. LILLIE STUCK, the 14-year-old daughter of the State Librarian of Pennsylvania, com- posed the words and music of a ‘‘Slumber Song.’’ Her music teacher advised her to allow him to rearrange and publish it, as he said it was so intricate, so delicate and so difficult ofrendition that ordinary singers could not do justice toit. She declared she would not have the score changed, saying she had made it unusually difficult for a special purpose. Then she sent it to Adelina Patti, signing an assumed name. A few days ago she heard from Mme. Patti’s private secretary that the diva was singing the ‘‘Slumber Song’’ in con- certs in the West. THE PEOPLE’S FORUM, The Side of the Railroads. 20 the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: The article in your issue of the 19th inst., from the pen of Mr. Web. M. Samuel, has the ring of true metal—as he justly says: ‘‘There has been and still is too much baby-talk of d— Jay Gould; d— all Gould’s enterprises; they are nothing but d— monopolies;’’ until the time has come to call a halt. It is well-known that the officers of the Gould system, from the General Manager wn to the Division Superintendent, have their time so completely taken up by the pres- sure of business that they scarcely have time to read, much less reply to attacks made upon them through the press almost daily; there- fore, no matter how shameful or barefaced the attack may be it’ goes to the people un- contradicted. This continued slandering has brought about a pubiic prejudice against the Missouri Pacific officials, that has proven to be hurtful tothe city’s interests. An official high up in authority on railroad matters said: ‘*There is so much railroad legislation go- ing on now in the city, county, State and National Governments that it must and will very seriously affect commerce in such a hurt- ful og i that it will soon be felt by tne people.’ When that occurs, the wheel will be turned the other way and the country will want rail- road men to manage the lines of commerce in the place of lawyers, doctors and politicians, as Mr. Samuel says. If Mr. Gould had not se- cured the control of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway and the Iron Mountain Road just when he did, where would 8t. Louis be to- day? Itis well known that the Burlington and the Rocx Island Railroads both were fishing for the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, and the Illinois Ventral for the Iron Mountain. If they had been successful, Chicago would have had St. Louis sandwiched between two trunk lines amo | from Chicagoto Texas. Mr. Gould was atthat time the only man who had the brain, money and nerve to rescue St. Louis from what would have been an irreparable in- jury to its commerce and manufacturing in- dustries. , Thisis one of the ways this grind- ing monopoly (so called) is hurting St. Louis. ig and athousand other benefits the Mis- sourl Pacific has brought to St. Louis could be named. What have the people, especially the merchants and manufacturers ot St.Louis, done in return? Nothing but growl, grumble and kick. Every time the St. Louis roads (for the Missouri Pacific system is pre-eminently a St. Louis road—that none will deny) ask for room to handle their business, they are met not only with refusals, but insults. Looking at St. Louis terminals from a strictly business standpoint, it can be summed up as foliows: Itis the business of the 1ail- road to bring the traffic to and carry from all cities, and where large cities like St. Louis be- come railway centers, it is the business of the citizens through their proper representatives to see to it that ali roads making their termi- nals here have room and pienty of it to handle their traffic rapidiy and economically. Ailthe lines now terminating here are so cramped for yard room that Eastern lines have been and still are compelled to make East St. Louis in place of St. nis, their ter- minals; this works a hardship both to the city and the railroads, put it is claimed this cannot be helped. What nonsense! St. Louis wants more yardroom. The yards on this side are always choked up. The question is, there- one, can more room be made on this side? The answer is, most assurediy.

Germany going to fight?’ asks a correspond- ent. because France wants torecoverthe provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, and to take revenge martyr President, is the recipient of much | the iron Moun | for the whaling she gotin 1871. If you gant to know why men fight at all, it is because, like dogs, it is their nature, and like dogs, the pre- cepts of the Christian religion have no infiu- ence whatsoever in preventing them from do- ing whattheywanttodo. It must be said that the power of the Christian Church is rarely or never thrown against any war that a nation desires toengagein. Still, men don’t fight so much as they used to.’”’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘‘Prince Bismarck be- lieved twenty years ago that he could satisfy the German craving for liberty and self-gov- ernment by giving every man the right to vote, and the Reichstag unlimited powers to debate. He considered it necessary to place the mili- tary system, all issues of foreign policy and all responsibility for the administration of business of the empire beyond the reach of the clamors of the multitude. He has suc- ceeded in reducing parliament to the level of a national debating society without the power of initiating legislation or of holding ministers accountable for public policy. He bas not succeeded in satisfying the Democratic in- stincts of universal suffrage. Political discon- tent exists eyerywhere. Undue compression has promoted socia' restiessness. While Prince Bismarck lives he will remain master of the fortunes of the Empire, but who will venture to forecast the future of the fatherland when the strong hand is taken from the scales of its destiny?’ THE TIMES. The Times says: ‘‘Mr. Fairchild may well be flattered by the opposition made to his pro- motion to be Secretary of the Treasury, or rather by the comments of the host who would like to oppose him if they knew of any way of getting at the President. These gentiemen affect to believe that Mr. Fairchild is not so good a Democrat as Mr. Manning is, and that he will hardly be as active in distributing offices to the party as he ought tobe. Mr. Cleveland knows that Mr. Fairchild is a Dem- ocrat as weil perhaps as any onein the land, unless we except the Republicans whose hard sings and plays all by herselffor three hours | lot it has been to meet him in political con- —up to 11 o’clock.

But he is an intelligent and bonest Democrat and an able officer of the Govern- ment, and a profound believer in the Presi- dential policy. Voltaire says that a man who serves his country well has no need of ances- tors. Mr. Fairchild has done too much to give the country confidence in his party to need the backing of politicians.’’ ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. SUBSCRIBER.—A forty-foot telegraph pole costs about $1.50.

It has been decided that the pictures and the tapestry at Hampton Court are to remain there instead of being sent to the Nationaal Gallery because of some nonsensical puerility about the difference between crown property, which they are at the palace, and public prop- erty, which itis supposed they would become if relegated to safe quarters in Trafaigar Square. The fact is that practically every article at the Royal palaces, which is not the private prop- erty of the Queen, belongs to the public, which is simply another term for the crown, as the sovereign can neither sell, give away, nor otherwise alienate anything whatever, and if a crown picture or piece of china be removed foratime from Buckingham Palace to Wind- sor, the transfer has to be noted in the books of the Lord Steward and the Lord Chamber- lain, in order that the article may be reclaimed for the palace to which it properly belongs in case of a demise of the crown. WELL PAID BERTHS. The appointment of Lord Onslow as Under Secretary for the Colonies, after the office has been refused by no fewer than four peers, makes a vacancy in the household fora lord in waiting, a post for which there is always a plethora of applicants. The salary is £70 a year, which will be at the rate of over £100 for each day’s duty, as Lord Onslow’s successor goes to A¥indsor on March 29 to stay till the Queen’s departure for Aix-les-Bains, which is fixed for April 4, and this is literally all his duty during the present year, as his other waits are fixed for periods when her Majesty will be at Osborne or Balmoral, and she dispenses with the attendance of lords in waiting at both these res- idences. The fact is that two lords in waiting and two grooms would be an ample number under the present conditions, a re- form which would save about £6,500 a year. At least £20,000 a year could be saved in the Royal household, without in any way interfer- ing with eitherthe dignity or the comfort of the Queen. AN ART EVENT. The sale of the engravings of the late Duke of Buccleuch will be the principal art event of the season. The sale of the first portion com- mences at Chnristie’s on Tuesday week and will occupy eight days. It includes the works of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Sir D. Wilkie and Sir Edwin Landseer, as wellas the Correggio fres- coes, Turner’s ‘‘Liber Studiorum,’’ and other rare and valuable works. The collection is one of the finest in the world. MR. WHISTLER’S ENTERTAINME NT. Mr. Whistler has not yet decided when he will go to America. On Sunday he gave his ‘*Ten o’clock’’ at Lady Maidstone’s, toan assemblage which included painters, poets, journalists and others. Ishould imagine that the ‘‘Ten o’clock’’ will take in the United States, us it is crisp and pointed, and the con- tention is the public never have and never will either originate anything artistic or really appreciate it when brought into existence by the gifted few. Artists, he says, made pots, pans, aud so forth, in days of old, and the vulgar herd used them, not because they were artistic, but because there were no others. At present the base and mechanics make them, and they are conseguently not artistic, but the public use them, because, if nasty, they are cheap. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES. The Prince and Princess of Wales will be settled at Marlborougn House for the season early next week.

The Princess of Wales in- tends to accompany the Prince to Dublin when he goes there for the Punchestown races and they will be the guests of Lord and Lady Londonderry. The Prince and Princess will possibly arrivein Dublin on the evening of Monday, March 28. THE GERMAN EMPEROR'S BIRTHDAY.

I tried to impress upon him, also, thu it would not do to make a “tate measure of this, as the suppression of this ferm of trading inthe State would but favor another State, andthatif they really wisbed to reach this matter effectually let a concur- rent resolution be presented to Congress ask- ing it to legislate uponit. I am satisfied the bill will not pass,at least in its present shape.”’ THE RAVENNA TRAGEDY, John Mitchell, Alias ‘‘Kid’ Mitchell, Ar. rested on Suspicion at Pittsburg. CLEVELAND, O., February 23.—John Mitchell, alias ‘*‘Kid’’ Mitchell, was arrested in Pitts- burg, last evening on an order from Superin- tendent Schmitt. Mitchell is a Cleveland criminal and has been in the Work- house. The police suspect that he may know some- thing about the Benedict & Rudy fur burglary or the assault upon the Cleveland officers at Ra venna. His presence in Pittsbug indicates that he is familiar with the crooks of that city who are supposed to have had a hand in a | of the stolen furs. Detective Lohrer will be sent to Pittsburg to-day for the prisoner. There is ne certainty that any- ae serious can be proved against Mitchell, but it was deemed best to arrest him for the purpose of investigation. Bowling.

Anna Bar- rett, one of the aerial performers of Gus Hill’s «World of Novelties,’’. now at Kernan’s Theater, met with a serious accident this aft- erneon while doing her act at the matinee. she is now in a critical condition. The woman js attractive in appearance, andig about 25 years of age. During the first part of the pro- grainme she appears as Mile. Anna, the woman with the iron jaw. Inatriple performance she again appears with her sister in a daring and sensational slide, holding by the teeth, from the second gallery to the stage on a wire. This afternoon Mile. Anna, after doing aturn with her sister onthe trapeze, prepared for herslide. The sister had aiready completed a marvelous slide by her hair on the same wire when Anna was drawn to her resting place for her act. In this she places in her mouth a piece of leather, fitted to the reof of it. The mouth- piece is sus- pended from the wire and has a small handle about one footin length by which she holds on while she fixes the leather piece in her mouth before her descent. Holding to the handle, Mile. Anna placed the leather in ber mouth and gave the signal for the slide. When about ten feet from the starting point she lost her grip and fell to the aisie, a distance of fully twenty feet. Fort- unately she came down feet first, but before she touched the floor she struck the knees of one of the spectators and the side of one of the chairs. She gave a scream as she fell stunned tothe floor. Officer Doyle carried the woman to the rear of the stage, where she was attended byaphysician. She was injured internally. Her thigh was bruised and sprained. Gus Hill stated that he could not account for the accident, except that she had evidently failed to get a firm hoid on the Her sister, Alberta Barrett, was much affected by the accident to her sister and could not conclude her act. Big Holiday Audiences. New YorK, February 23.—Washington’s birthday will be remembered asa red letter day in the history of the theaters of New York, Afternoon and evening performances were given at every theater in the city, and at both performances the theaters were crowded to their utmost capacity. The total result was that more money was takenin for the day than on apy other day since the city bas had en existence. In the principal theaters every seat for the evening performance was sold be- fore the doors were opened. ee CHAT OF THE STAGE, Patti Concert Receipts—The Diva’s Pay— Theatrical Gossip and Notes. Asingle glance at the audience at the Patti concert showed that it was entitied to the ban- ner in numbers, outside of the Gilmore con- certs, and in money barring none that has ever been collected in St. Louis. The receipts were above the expectations of Managers Jounston and Abbey, as a count of the total runs the amount taken in to $9,000. Itis one of the strongest kind of indorsements of the big hall and popular prices, because at $5 forthe best seats Mapleson could never real- ize near this amount at the Olympic. Mr. Abbey was delighted at the result of the pop- ularprice plan, and said that while he couid easily have charged and obtained $ for dress rather dowithout the difference and get tne approval ofthe public and an audience filing every seat. St. Louis is the first and only place that such prices have been charged. One reason is that itis the only place that such a hall has been obtained so far. Mr. Abbey saw itfor the firsttime this visit and was surprised at its size, arrangement and acoustic properties. He said that there is only one hall which is equal to it anywhere, endthat is Albert Hall, London. The singers also indorsed it as remarkably easy to sing in considering its size. oa * = Pattidoes not make $5,000 everytime she tingsthis season, but she makes enough to keep the wolffrom the door. Her contract with Mr. Abbeyis for $3,000in cold cash for every concert. Abbey takes considerable risks On the contract, asin addition to Patti’s sbareevery event costs him about $3,000 over forthe orchestra, other singers and expenses, fod Patti only sings twice in one week. Scaichi gets $1,100a week; Galassi, $700, and the others are, graded down from this figure with a neat salary for Arditi. Itis rather sin- cular that the only two cities which failed to give paying audiences include what is con- sidered the livest place and the deadest place inthe United States—Chicago and New Or- leans. Chicagois the worst musical city in the country. The windy city people do not appreciate Patti andthe American Opera Com- pany has lost more money there than any- where else. Kansas City gave Patti a big eudience, but I understand that a concert by ew without her scarcely paid for the ail. * - - A change has been made in the next Patti concert. The arrangement was first made for &matinee performance in order to give the ladies a chance, but Mr. Abbey, after thinking the matter over, concluded to have the con- certin the evening. He went to New York esterday, but before going nuvtified Mr. JOlinston that he would prefer a night con- cert. So the understanding at present is that the event will take place on Tuesday evening, arch ls. The sale will open about the 12th. . That other packer of Music Hall, the genial and resourceful band-master, Col. P. 8S. Gil- more, will return ain next fall. This has been definitely settled. It was in doubt fora time, owing to negotiations with the managers of the American Exhibition at London, but this doubt has been wiped out by Col. Gil- more himself. In reply to a letter, Mr. John- ston has received the following characteristic telegram dated at New York: ‘‘Have just re- turned.

A death occurred at the Protestant Hos- pital in this city yesterday for which the Texas railroad strike of last spring is responsfbie. Harry H. Trowbridge, a railroad engineer 24 years of age, was traveling in Texas during the labor troubles as a passenger. It is claimed that he gave his ticket to the con- ductor of the train, who gave him ne check in return. The conductor called on him again to ay his fare and he refused, stating that he jad already done so. He was ordered off the train and got off, but as s00n as it moved on again Trowbridge jumped aboard. Trouble with rioters then arose and the Sheriff's posse fired a volley at them. Trowbridge was shot in the back, it is sup- posed, by one of the Sheriff’s posse. The wound proved ayery bad one and the young man grew weaker day by day until he waste away toamere skeleton. He was sent here for medical attention and died as stated. He will be buried here, and his mother and father, who are now here, will return to their bomne in Texas. It is said that the railroad company has agreed to pay them $10,000 and to pay all costs of the young man’s illness, on condition that no damage suit is brought. New Through Car Service.

It Was a card on which was written: A. 8. Brunswick, 163 East Thirty-third street. Ring four times. Call any day of the week after 1 o’clock. Quigley had another name—it was Green. and Laird afterwards introduced other boys whose names were kelly, McGinness, Malone, Callaban and Doyle. Laird was assistant clerk, Brunswick learned, in District 37, No. 2 East Thirty-seventh street. They were all anxious for the success of the movement and Brunswick became more and more convinced oftheir sincerity. The nightof the meeting arrived Sunday, February 6. Brunswick had aid $2.50 forthe rent of the hall, and over 150 ,0YS put in an appearance. THE OKGANIZER WAS IN HIS GLORY. He made Doyle Financial secretary, Calla- han Outer Guard, Green or Quigley Inner Guard, and the others named received other Offices according to their merits. Chairman Brunswick then informed the meeting that District 49 would not receive them as members, but that need not trouble them. They could have a secret organization of their own, and he had prepared a pledge and set of signs whereby they could obtain admission to the meetings and recognize each other on the street. Before the pledge was administered it was decided to fix upon the amount of dues. There was to be no initiation fee, and it was suggested that 25 cents a month was sufficient for the dues, and it was finally so decided on. Chairman Brunswick said that as they were going to have agreatand powerful associa- tion they oughtto haveahaltiof their own. For that “So, tg they must have a land fund. No member was compelled to pay anything toward that fund, but they could give what the¥ could afford. This was received with ap- plause, and the boys present then hurried to the secretary’s desk, and there was a hubbub and going into pockets for an instaiment of the monthly fees. Finally ail present had signed the roll, and, the secretary had $1.30 in dues and 22 cents for the land fund. THE PLEDGE. » **Now before we do any more business I'll aaminister the pledge,’’ said the Chairman. ‘*Every boy must stand, place his left hand over his heart and raise his right hand.’’ Every boy did as he was directed. ‘‘Now repeat after me: ‘I do solemnly and sincerely pledge my word of bonor, and in the resence of these witnesses do swear that so ong as I live I will keep sacred all secrets or anything whatever that may be reposed in my confidence, and that above all I will never revealto my parents, relatives or acquain- tances, nortoany officer of any telegraph, telephone or messenger company, nor to any person whomsoever, the date and place of meeting or any of the signs, secret workings, business or name of this noble brotherhood; that I will never reveal the name or person of any member of this association; that I will obey the officers and assist and encourage them in the discharge of their duties; that I will avoid all difficulties with the ofticers of the company by which lam em- ployed, and endeavor to remain in its employ as long as possible; that I will inform the Pres- ident of all information that may be of interest and necessary to defend our holy cause, and I do turther promise that when I receive in- structions from the proper officials to quit work I will immediately quit, regardless of consequence, and remain idle until I am ordered to return, and I will prevent with all the power at my command the taking of my place or that of any brother member bya scab. To all of which I agree.’ ‘*Now place or cross both your hands over your breast. Now you can sit with hands over your breast.’’ ‘‘Itis now necessary,’’ said the President, ‘‘that you should know the secret work of our organization. To begin with, the name of the union is Victory Association. Under that name we transact our outside business. Out secret name is the Messenger Brotherhood of North America. We are entirely independent of the Knights of Labor. Afterto-day any- one who wante to join will have to remain in the waiting-room until he is admitted. Promptly at8 o’clock on meeting nights the door will be locked and no one allowed to enter unless he knows how togetin, If you come late and want to get in you will see this paper stuck up on the outside:’’ THE MYSTIC SIGN. The President then showed a sheet of paper about 18x12 inches on which was drawn: Bee eeeereevaeeveeeeereaeree eeee eee” eer. ‘“Those two letters mean Victory Associa- tion, and whenever you see that on the door, ou can rest assured there is a meeting here. o get into the hall you will have to rap three times in this manner: Once and two times in uick succession. The outer guard will open the door aad you will give the first half of the pass word, which I will give you. You recog- nize the outer guard by a red handkerchief tied around his leftarm. You will then be admitted to the nextroom. There you will find the inner guard whom you'll recognize by a white handkerchief around his left arm. You will give him the entire password. You will then enter the hall and stand before the table and make the sign of obliteration. You can then sit down.’’ After the President had made a speech enumerating the grievances of the messengers the meeting adjourned. Financial Secretary Doyle was Furrying away with the cash when Brunswick collared him and took the receipts in lieu of the money paid by hii for the hall. The following morning Manager Sanford at 8 Dey street had tne names of every boy present and he forthwith issued the circular published last week addressed to parents and guardians, cautioning them that their sons were being misled.

NEw York, February 23.—The following let- ‘ter from Mayor Hewitt was to have been read at the New York Southern Society’s ban- quet last night: ‘*There was but one exception in the Consti- tution, as originally framed, to the guarantee of personal liberty to every citizen, and the result on the fortunes of the North and South was most marked and is now apparent to eyery student of politics. Where labor ig free and the titizen may dispose of his time and effort as he sees fit, progress, even where natural resources are few, is inevitable, **The resources of the South in coal and iron and the other useful metals were perfectly well known before the civil war. I called at- tention to them as early as 1356, and predicted then the development which is now going on almost miraculous in its extent and rapidity. I suppose the demonstration is complete, even to every Southern man, that the liberty of the citizen is essential to the prosperity of so- ciety. ‘*‘And yet, while this demonstration has been gOing on for years inthe South, a retrograde movement has been inaugurated in the North looking to the enslavement of the citizen and the destruction of ail rights of free action, ex- cept so far as it may be exercised in the choice | of Cakes manger agentsto whom a secret or- ganization sees fit to intrust power. i” POWER OF THE SECRET ORGANIZATION. ‘*Within the last few weeks we have seen large bodies of men confessing that they had no grievances, deliberately quit work on the order ofa secret tribunal whose power they dared not call in question, of whom every man stood in dread. Itisincredible that in the North, where the fruits of free govern- ment and of the personal right of each man to employ himself according to his own will, have been so conspicuously demonstrated by the growth of a hundred years, any man would be. willing to sacrifice his personal independence and yield it to igno- rant, selfish and unscrupulous leaders, using this power only for their personal advantage. Indeed, such tyranny would never have been ossible but for the ingenious and dangerous eresy, which made it possible for men to re- fuse to work with other men who have not seen fit to join these secret or- ganizations. Society never contemplates that this power would be exer- cised so as to practically reduce any portion of the workmen of the land to'the con- dition of not being able to get work upon any terms whatever, except compulsory member- ship with organizations governed by a secret and irresponsible tribunal. When men who are seeking work find thatthere is only one condition upon which they can get it, they must surrender their private views and their personal independence to the necessities of the case. The sacrifice having been made, the power ofthe leaders becomes absolute. We all sympathize with the workingmen of the country andare glad that the wages of labor are STEADILY ON THE INCREASE. We rejoice that capital has so increased that itdaily becomes cheaper to those who are —~—— ae © ee ee : fraud practiced od compelled to borrow it, because labor profits when the cost of capital is reduced. But the benefit which would thus, under natural laws, accrue to the great mass of the people is 7 ‘ largely, if not entirely, neutralized by the losses of compulsory strikes and enforced | idleness. No one would interfere | with the right of free association on the part of any class of our citizens. On thecontrary such associations areto be encouraged upto the point where they undertake todeprive the citizen of his personal liberty. Atthis point not only the Constitution of the country is attacked, but its progress in weaith will be checked and all in- centives to special effort in order to achieve the larger rewards dueto skilland genius will be arrested. Hence you of the South and we of the North must take a firm and decided position, that under no circumstances will we permit the labor of the citizen to be enslaved,and that if additional legislation is required to meet this new and pernicious movement which would relegate the North to the condition in which the South was before the war in regard to its labor, no time should be lost in securing its enactment. There is no doubt that a revision of the laws relating to employment is necessary, and, while 1 have abundant fai‘h in the good sense of our people, and in the utter failure of class movements, which are at war with the funda- mental principles of the Constitution, my ex- perience has taught me that the safeguard of the law is absolutely essential for the security of society, and that the enforcement of tne law is the best guarantee of the stability of industry and the equitable distribution of w@alth. Very truly yours, ‘‘ABRAM S. HEWITT.’’ WHY THE LETTER WAS NOT READ. The Sun says: Mayor Hewitt was invited to attend the Brooklyn dinner last night, but declined in aldng letter. In the letter was a sentence saying that certain high officials, leaders of the Democratic party,hbad pandered to the labor vote, and deploring their action. The dinner committee, by a majority vote, decided that the letter should be read at the dinner. One of the majority suggested that Mr. Hewitt be asked to cut out the sentence. It was then decided that the letter should be read as it stood, as Mr. Hewitt would have been permitted to say the same thing if he had been present. Then one of the minority submitted the let- ter to Gov. Hill. A member of the majority said that the Governor returned word that he would not come if the letter were to be read. The Governor came and the letter was not read. The majority did not know what had become of it, and the minority refused to say anything about it. What Would the World Do without woman? asks the essayist who starts | out to say something new on this oft-treated | subject. Of course, the human element of | the world would not exist without woman, 80 the question is gratuitous. It would have ‘been far more sensible to ask: What would the world do without the salvation of woman, without a panacea for her physical ills and a cure for her peculiar djseases. In a word, what wonld the world do without Dr. Pierce’s ‘*Favorite Prescription,’’ the great remedy for female weaknesses? It is indispensable for the ills of womankind. Will Be Better Than Ever. Business Manager Samstag of the Critic says the resignations of Editor Harkraeder and the other members of the editorial force will not interfere with the publication of the paper. A new force has been engaged and the puper will be issued as heretofore. He says the paper is on a sound basis and Mr. Freudenau, the principal stockholder, is perfectly satisfied with the management. The Critic is to be improved and will be newsier and brighter in every way. Muddy Water. There are prospects of very muddy water now foralongtimeto come.

She states that the boy strained of his liberty at the F ‘Hospital by Dr. Hulbert. She presented | to Dr. Hulbert a certificate of her appoint- | ment as guardian ofthe children by the Pro- bate Courtand demanded the boy, but she alleges that the doctor declined to give him up, stating that the mother on her deathn-bed had expressly requested that the grandmother should never get controlof the child. Judge Lubke made the writ returnable on Friday morning. Mrs. Flamm ’s Suit Dismissed. Judge Dillon to-day rendered adecision in the suit of Mrs. A. C. Flamm vs. J, C. Imbs. The Court states that it carefully reviewed the testimony and can reach no other conclusion than that the plaintiff, Mrs. Flamm, has failed in her proof as to the most vital issue in the case, viz., that she was induced to make the conyeyances in ques- tion by reason of threats on the part of the defendant to prosecute her husband criminally for embezzlement. On that issue a fair consideration of the evidence shows a decided preponderance in favor of the defendant. There must consequen a judgment in favor of the defendant. petition is dismissed. The Tonic Beer Wrangle. tly be The Judge Barclay to-dayrendered a decision in the trade-mark suit of Stamm ys. Cornwall, relating toatonic beerlabel. The Court grants a decree dismissing the petition and directing on the cross-bill of the defendant an injunc- tion against further use by plaintiff of t he red ring label on the neck of the tonic beer bottles. No proprietary right, however, is adjudged to the words ‘‘tonic beer,’’ unless used with the word ‘‘Coruwail,’’ The piaintif? is to pay costs. A Special Tax-Bill Suit. Judge Valliant rendered a decision to- the suit of Gottlieb Eyermann against Payne et al. The motions for new tri in arrest of judgment are overruled. It day in E. H. aland was a suit on a special tax-bill for constructing a district sewer. The city charter provides that the district sewer shall connect with a public sewer or natural course of drainage. The defendants, however, did not prove thatthe sewer in question did not so connect tax-bill is good in evidence ee being fied by the President of tho Improvements. . The certi- oard of rublic The signature of the Deputy Comptroller is sufficient for countersigning. The tax-bill was dated December 6, 1854, and the suit was commenced June 13, 1885. Court agrees with the views of counsel the injustice and illegality of permitti unnecessary time to _ elapse after The upon ng an the completion of the work before the issuance of the tax-bill and of issuing a new Dill in of an old one to avoid the two years bar statute of limitation. The defendants, place of the how- ever, in this case tendered no such issue in their pleadings. Judge Valliant’s Decisions. Judge Valliant to-day rendered the follow- ing decisions in cases taken under advise- ment: Aurelia Chouguette vs. Thos. O’ Reilly et al.; demurrer of city to the petition overruled. Cassandra E.

Paow York, February 23.—The advertisement of Chong Fock, published yesterday, has brought to light a number of facts concerning the local Chinese which were not thitherto known. Chong Fock, to a reporter yester- day, explained his advertisement and then his business, both being essentially Chinese in method and character. Under the most aml- cable circumstances Chong Fock has purchased the business and good-will of Ing Yee Gogue Water street. His first proceeding was to mpubileh the statement that he would not. be responsible for Ing Yee Gogue’s debts. It will now be in order ac- cording to the Chinese custom, for Ing Yee Gogue to say something horrible about Chong Fock’s business—the keeping of a oases: house for a Chinese counterpart of the Knights of Labor. It appears that there are between 400 and 500 Chinese sailing out of this port as cooks and stewards and they have formed an organization which is typified by a row of hen tracks quite imposing to look at. They have officers and organizations entirely indepen- dent of the Six Companies. It was developed that the dominion of the Six Companies, which controls all the Chinese in California, does not extend to New York. The boarding-house consists of a substantial three-story ee the two upper floors being devoted to bed- rooms and the first or main floor, to eating, opium smoking and religious worship. The price charged is only $3.50 per week, so that the birds’ nestsoup, puppy dogs and other luxuries known to the celestial epicures of the West are not furnished. In the kitchen there is a fine cooking stove, pantries for some picturesque china, and various utensils of the Americo-Chimese cuisine. Inthe next room, sacred to opium couches, a fatsailor boy was recumbent in deep slumber, dreaming as hard of the realms of flowers as 65 cents worth of the syrupy narcotic could make him. A new wrinkle in opium smoking was here apparent. On the little lamp at which the boy had lighted his pipe hung two horrible looking beetles, one of red and white enamel, the other blue and black and each about aninchin length. They had huge star- ing eyes, and it appeared thatina dark room, when the lamp was lighted, the smoker shaded the lamp by putting the lid in front of it, and the light shone through those transparent eyes into his with a most grotesque effect. To an American the sight would produce twin nightmares rather than sensuous imagina- tions, but as the Chinese do everything back- ward, itis probable thet their dreams are no exceptions to the rule. The meeting hall or religious room has the usual furniture, includ- ing the altar on the eastern side, in which is a picture of Col. ‘‘Larry’’ Jerome in Chinese costume, with asweet spirit of good peeping over his right shoulder, and the most diabolical kind of an Italian basso rofundo on his left. The reporter nguired when Col. Jerome had been elevated to the Contucian mythology and whether or not it had anything to do with his political as- pirations. The Chinese guide nodded intelli- ently and said ‘‘Yes’’ quite sweetly. Ehinese always say ‘‘yes’’ quite sweetly when }. they do not know what thequestion is. There are some twenty-five or thirty members in town at present. Chong Fock explained that they had not struck yet, as they had had no chance. They intended to do so when they got time, however, as the organization in- tended to be ‘‘all samee Melican man’’ in “every particular. A Chinese strike, when it comes, will not be altogether melancholy. They are a one-idea kind of people and once started they would keepon striking, though allthe goid of Newark, N. J., were laid at their feet. BUYERS OF DIAMONDS Consider These Statements; They Are of Importance to You if Desirous of Obtain- ing the Greatest Values.

WINNERS IN THE SWEEPSTAKES TOURNA- MENT OF THE MIDDLESEX GUN CLUB. “Parson” Davies Chats About Knifton, Smith and Sullivan—Anson and the Chicagos — The Hundred-Yard Record Said to be Broken—Sporting Notes and News. New Yorx, February 23.—Expert wing shots from a wide range of country gathered at Dunelin yesterday to see the great sweep- stakes, open to the world, shot for at the tournament of the Middiesex Gun Club. The conditions were: Fifty pigeons each, under Hurlingham rules, except as to gauges and weight ot guns. Entrance was $112.50, includ- ing the price of birds. Fifteen men entered. This made $1,500 to be divided among the winners on the basis of 40, 30, 20 and 10 per eent. Graham, the English champion; Budd, whom Western men believe can beat the Englishman ; Stark and Stice, old-time rivals at the trap; Frank Kleinz and Jack Brewer, Philadeiphia’s crack shots; Wadsworth of Illinois and Davis of Ohio were all in the hunt. But the man whe surprised the sports and delighted the crowd was Thomas J. Ely, from Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. He is comparatively a newman. Somebody wrote to the boys to look out for Ely. Ely looked out for himself. He did the neatest and most skillful shooting of the day, leading Graham, Budd and all the other champions except Stice, with whom he divided first money, each having killed forty- eight out oftheir fifty birds. Ely made the best straight score, killing niaeteen birds before he missed. He isa slim, farmer-like man of. about 35 years. It is said that when the partridge season arrives he begins shooting in Luzerne County, following the birds on through Virginia, bringing down an average of nineteen out of every twenty- five he shoots at. The birds yesterday were a fairly fast lot until the sun began. to lower, when they had to be pelted to make them rise. Ely used his second barrel ten times. Another interesting feature of the shoot was Stice’s gun. It wasa single-barrellied repeater, said to be one of six madeas an experiment. It was the only single-barreled gun on_ the grounds. Stice peppered most of his birds before they had risen three feetin theair. He killed all but four or five with the first charge. Budd and Graham did clean, sportsmanlike work. Following is the resuit ofthe shoot: Ely and Stice killed 48 vach, dividing first money, $600; Budd and Stark killed 46 each, dividing second money, $50; Graham, Brewer and Davis killed 43 each, dividing third money, 300; Kieinz killed 42, winning fourth money, 150; Stewart killed 41; White killed 40, missed 6 and retired ; Willams kilied 37, missed 10 and retired; Wadsworth killed 35, missed 9 and retired; Wariug killed 36; Sampson killed 25, missed 10 and retired, and Maddock killed 20, missed 16 and retired. After the shoot, Mr. Morgan of Chicago de- posited $300 with Mr. Von Lengerke, as forfeit, to match Budd against Graham for three matches for $500 a side, ut 100 birds—one match to be shot at Newark, one at Middlesex, N. J., and the third in Chicago. Bogardus Won. The shoot between Capt. Bogardus and Andy Meaders for the championship and $250a side took place atthe Compton Avenue Park yesterday afternoon. The conditions were 100 tame pigeons atthirty yards. The match was won by Bogardus. The score was: Bo- gardus, 93; Meaders, 89. —_—- CN ANSON HOPEFUL, He Says the Chicagos Will Keep Step to the Music. Since George F.-Gore has signed with New York he has. been eyen more outspoken than in the past over his grievances against the Chicago Club and its management. Shortly after helly’s release to Boston, says a paper of that city, Gore and Anson met, and Gore said to Anson: **I’m sorry for you, old fellow. After you let a fow more men go, you won’t have enough of anine left to draw people to pay traveling bills next summer.’’ ‘*Our uine’s as good as it ever was,’’ the big Captain replied. ‘‘We haven’t weakened any.’’ ‘*You won’t be in the race at all next year,’’ retortedGore, with ap exasperating 7“. ** Who can heat us?’’ Anson asked. **Detroit for one,’’ Gore* responded. **That’s the best clubin'the country to-day. New York for another, and she’s in luck if = finishes ahead of Boston and Philadel- phia.’’ : ‘*I’ll bet you $100 to $50,’’ afff Capt. Anson began to get a little hot under the collar, **that we finish ahead of any of the clubs you named.’’ But Gore wouldn’t take him up, and, firinga few scattering volleys at each other, the twain broke away and danger was past. There has been a pretty general opinion in Chicago that no such sum as $10,000 was paid for Kelly's release. The talk was so often re- peated that it eventually reached President Spalding, wno said: ‘‘I don’t care particularly to have the price I pay or receive fora player made public. As a rule, I consider it nobody's business out- side the two clubs, but in this case the price was co phenomenally high, it is certainly worthy of note. Lreceived $10,000 forhim.
