The Dresses of Some of the Children Catch Fire While in the Dressing-Room—Des- titution in London and Glasgow— Alarming Financial Condition of Portu- gal—Foreign News. Lonpox, Jan 2.—Further particulars re- ceived to-day from Wortley, near Leeds ,show that the terrible scenes witnessed at the school fete there were not exaggerated, though the cause of the disaster was not the falling of a string of Chinese lanterns, as at first supposed. The school fete referred to was a charity bazaar held under the auspices of the Parish of Wortley. The build- ing used for the fete was the church school adjoining the Wortley Episcopal Church. Part of the programme of the bazaar attrac- tions was a series of tableaux vivants, in which a number of young girls and boys of the parish took part. For this display @ small stage was erected in the school- room and to the right of the stage and opening upon it was a room used as a dress- ing-room or green-room by the children, who had for weeks past been preparing for and looking forward to the event which was to re- sult in such a terrible final. Inside the dress- ing-room, just before the disaster, a crowd of joyous children» were gathered, all the girls of the party being in light gauzy attire, and many of them covered in addition with cotton wool used to epresent snow. In addition several of the *hildren carried, dangling on sticks, also over heir heads, lighted Chinese lanterns. The ableaux vivant, then preparing, was in- ended to symbolize the winter frolics of the ‘Mummers’’ in days gone by. A TERRIBLE 8CENE. The parents and friends of the children were assembled in the schoo:-room, forming a happy, chatting audience, prepared,to ad- mire andapplaud everything said or Gone by their dear ones. Suddenly shrieks: of terror issued from the little dressing-room, and the audience sprang in alarm from their seats, he male portion of the assemblage naking a rush for the school-room stage. fhe gentlemen were horror stricken to see quite a number of children rush upon the stage with their costumes on fire. In a mo- ment the alr was filled with cries of terror from the children and from the ladies n the audience, many of whom hen knew their little daughters to be ndangerof death. Several ladies fainted, thus adding considerably to the confusion. The gentlemen promptly seized the burning children, threw them upon the stage and smothered the flames which enveloped their garments with the curtains, mats, window blinds—anything they could lay hands upon in the emergency. Several of the gentlemen tore off their coats and used them to save the lives of the panic stricken children. While the little ones were being rescued, shrieks of terror and groans of agony rang throughout the muilding, the horror of the dis- ister being: almost beyond description. ‘inally suffering children to the number of venty were taken tothe Wortley Infirmary, hile others were attended to attheir homes. Uptothe present there are four deaths re- corded as the result of the disaster, and some f the injured children are not expected to re- “Over, CAUSE OE THE DISASTER. An investigation into the cause of the disaster shows that while tne chil- dren were gathered in the dressing room preparatory to making their ap- pearance on the stage, one of fhe little girls, who was playing with alightedlamp accidentally set fire to her clothes. She uttered acry of terror, tried to extinguish the flames with her hands and rushed toward the door leading into the stage. Hercries and the sight of the flames caused a panic among the other children, who also made a rush forthe door mentioned. The result was that a crowd of children were crushed around the child, whose clothes were already in flames, and thereby ignated the clothing of two or three other children. Portugal’s Financial Condition. LISBON, Jan. 2.—Statistics just published concerning Portugpese finances are of an alarming character. The debt of Portugal has increased 400 per cent in the past forty years and the Government expenses have in- creased 500 percent. The revenue has only trebled meantime and the annual deficit has become fourteen times greater than at the beginning of the period named. CONSOLIDATING THE FLOATING DEBT. ww, Jan. 2.—Negotiations are being d between the Portuguese Govern- scanda French synilicate for the consoli- uation of the floating débt of Portugal. If the negotiations are successfully accom- plished before the maturing of the existing debt, the syndicate will be granted certain privileges. Destitution in London and Glasgow. LONDON, Jan. 2.—The severe weather is at- tended in London by an unusual amount of destitution, the number of persons seeking refuge nightly in the casual wards being greater than for several winters past. Coal is reaching such prices in Glasgow that the poorer quarters of the city are suffering for wantof it. The dealers who have consider- able stocks are in some instances holding back for higher prices, and appalling cases of destitution and suffering are reported by the ‘ithorities, who find themselves over- elmed with applications for relief, which, ingto the scarcity of fuel on account of 2 railway strike, they have been unable to lequately deal with. It is hoped, that ds i@ strike seems to be breaking up, the con- tion of affairs will soon be ameliorated. SAD CONDITION OF FEMALE WORKERS, ONDON, Jan. 2.—The condition of female _ployment in the metropolis is attracting ich needed attention, Many women en- ed inthe match/box trade are employed. n7inthe morning until Worll at night, | Fridays they often work all night, pro- ing theirown paste and string and fuel drying their boxes, and all this for 5 lings and 6 pence to 7 shillings a week. ey “not only work, but almost starve, nd,’’ says Mr. Labouchere, ‘‘to starve is 1 enough, but to work and ‘starve is a eous wrong.’’ THE SALVATION ARMY ROW, owDON, Jan. 2.—In his reply to Gen, Booth, | Smith Y : which he says that he undertook to write that it was to be published separate from the Salvation Army affairs, but seeing such was not the plan he drew out. | LEONARD JEROME DYING. LONDON, Jan. 2.—The statement that Lady Randolph Churchill is ill is stoutly denied. Leonard Jerome is reported to be dying. q AN EMPHATIC DENIAL. - Paris, Jan. 2.—A son of. Gen. Booth of En- gland in a letter to the des Debats says there is notroublé in the Salvation Army; de- nies that the funds in -his father’s hands are for the use of the army and being so used, and asserts that his father isthe sole author of ‘‘In Darkest England, and the Way Out.’’ The Irish Party Troubles. CorK, Jan. 2.—-Mayor Hargan, an earnest supporter of Parnell, was yesterday installed as Mayor of Cork. Hargan is said to have been prominent in getting up the recent letter to’ Mr. O’Brien, signed by the Mayor and five ex-Mayors. A scene of wild enthusi- asm took place among the Parnellites during the installation, the anti-Parnellites being conspicuous by their absence. Rt. Rev. T. A. ‘O’Callahan, bishop of this diocese, refused to receive the Parnellite Mayor, and contrary to acustom of long standimg, the installation did not take place in the Cathedral. O’BRIEN OFFERED THE LEADERSHIP. DUBLIN, Jan.2.—It is said that Wm. O’Brien has cabled to John Dillon, now in New York, that Mr. Parnell atthe conference agreed to retire if O’Brien is chosen leader of the Na- tional party. Mr. Dillon will cable his de- cision in the matter, and is now consulting with friends in America, it is said. THE NEXT CONFERENCE. Mr. Parnell has arrived in this city and is holding a long conference with Mr. Timothy D. Harrington, M. P., and with Dr. Joseph Kenny, | EG It is understood here that the conference between Messrs. Parnell and O’Brien will be resumed at Boulogne-Sur-Mer on. Tuesday next. Messrs. Harrington and Gill and probably Mr. Sullivan are éxpected to be present at the conference. THE M’CARTHYITES STIRRED UP. LONDON, Jan. 2.—The McCarthyites are nell and O’Brien have practically come to terms. Tim Healy is reported to have said: ‘*‘While Ihave the greatest respect for Mr. O’Brien, that very respect prevgnts me from believing it possible that he would attempt to override the will of the majority who had de- liberately chosen Justin McCarthy as the leader of the Irish Parliamentary party. The English Liberals, without whom we could not get home rule ip 1,000 years, will shun any ar- rangement dictated by Mr. Parnell.’’ The McCarthyites are evidently resolved to stand by the arrangements already made, and telegrams have been sent to Mr. O’Brien, earnestly urging him not to give way ‘to Parnell, An Austrian’s Exploit. VIENNA, Jan. 2.—A citizen of Vienna named Pillwax and three guides performed therte- markable feat Saturday of ascending the Gross Glockner, the famous peak of Carin- thian Alps, in a temperature of twenty-three degrees centigrade.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 2.—Lord Salisbury is reported to have sent assurances tothe Do- minion Government that thereis no change in. the status of the Behring Sea question, and will not be until the United States consents to arbitration, that in the meantime British subjects will continue to be protected in law- ful pursuits. A GROCER ASSIGNS. SARNIA, Ontario, Jan. 2.—Donald Simpson, a grocerof this place, has made an assign- ment. His liabilities are $80,000. The Scotland Railroad Strike. GLASGOW, Jan. 2.—Fifty engine drivers who left the employ of the North British Railroad Co. when the st#ike was declared, have re- sumed work on the company’s terms.

PROGRESSING FAVORABLY, Condition of Patients Treated With Lymph —A Diphtheria Cure. BosTON, Mass., Jan. 2.—The patients inocu- lated yesterday with the Koch lymph are all doing well and experienced no great discom- fort at any time subsequent to the injections. In. no case did the temperature rise above 102, and some not so high. ical cases that the temperature was highest. In these cases there was also a marked in- crease of expectorations of a purile charac- ter, a symptom that the physicians expected and wished to see. In some of the phthisical cases there was a feeling of pain In the chest; also some dizziness and some nausea but no voting. In the lupus cases there was also arisein temperature. The disease appeared tobe more definitely outlined in these cases. There was more inflammation and they were more marked than before in swelling, redness and weeping of the surface of the pte In the two cases of tuberculosis of the elbow the temperature rose and there was some local pain, The tuberculosis of the tepgue case was marked by an elevation of temperature, swelling and redness.

NO AVENUES OF ESCAPE, ALL BEING CLOSED BY THE TROOPS. t 5 Carr’s Command Joins Gen. Brooke’s Forces+A Hollow Square Being Formed Around the Hostiles—Narrow Escape of the Seventh Infantry—The First Battle. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 2.—Gen. Schofield this morning received atelegram from Gen. Miles, dated at Pine Ridge Agency, Jan. l, saying that 8,000 Indians, men, women and children and including about 600 bucks, are now encamped in a section of the Bad Lands about fifteen miles from the Pine Ridge Agency, and there is almost a cordon of troops around them. Gen. Miles announces that he hopes to be able to induce the hostiles to surrender without a struggle. The #pot where they are encamped, he describes as somewhat like the Lava beds of California, where the Modocs made their final fight. Itis an excellent position fron an Indian standpoint, but there are no. avenues of escape, all having been closed by the troops. Gen. Miles says the Indians have gathered some cattle and provisions and ap- pear to be determined to make their fight for supremacy at this point. He says he will make another effort to get them back to the agency without bloodshed, and in order to do so he has established regular siege around this stronghold. / VY SURROUNDING THE HOSTILES. PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Jan. 2.—The eight companies of the Second Infantry, ordered out by Gen. Miles, under command of Gen. Brooke and Staff, will strike Beaver Creek. From there they will swing out intoas longa line as practicable. thus forming the western and partof the northern side of a hollow square, Which it now seems it has been de- cided to form about the hostiles. Carr’s command has arrived at Wounded Knee,near the point where the battle took place, which is six miles east of Porcupine Butte, or about sixteen miles northeast of here, at Wounded Knee Post-office. Thus it seems that Carr’s command Is to constitute the east and north sides of the square. From the ex- pression upon the faces of the officers and men as they pulled out through the snow and bitter cold it was evident that they did not relish Gen. Miles’ order. Three companies of the First Infantry from San Francisco have already arrived, and six more are expected to-day to replace the second. A scout came in Neapebe and reported that the main body of the hostiles had moved back twelve miles from the agency and toward the Bad Lands on the north, A WILD WAR DANCE. Another arrived last evening, and reported the Indians ifdulging in a wild war dance only eight miles from here. A party of In- dians and scouts, who visited the scene of Monday’s battle, found nine Indians who were wounded in the fight stillalive. Two of them had been to a log hut neaf by and were being cared for by asquaw that had remained behind. The. other seven, all of whom were found lying in guilies, remote from the bat- tlefield, had survived the blizzard without any attention of any kind. Two were bucks and the other five were squaws. There was scarcely life enough left in any of the seven to thank the scouts for bringing them in, but they did so, and they are now with the others in the Episcopal Church. In addition to the nine adults found, two tiny Indian babies, neither of them over three months’ old, were found alive, each beside the dead body of its mother. They were well wrapped up, but how they ever survived the fearful weather of the last forty-eight hours seems a miracle. The little innocents were :brought to the er, and found friends in the wives of some of the Indian scouts. Of the thirty-five wounded Indians brought in after the battle, near! all of whom were squaws, an children, not one has as yet died, though many of them are badly mangled with bullets. The rear guard of the party of charity-doing scouts that went out on their search for wounded Indians, were forced to exchange several shots with some of the roving hostiles. After the late battle the Indian scouts went over the field and picked up all the disabled hostiles they could find before the troops were compelled to hurry in here and _. 0»protect’ the agency, from the uprising that occurred, as previously described. The Indian scout that fell at Wounded Knee was given amilitary burial yesterday by his comrades under command of Lieut. Taylor, Rev. Mr. Cook presiding. The snow storm that has been raging for twenty-four hours has ceased. The weather is warmer, andas a result the vigilant outlook for asurprise by the hostiles, which was allowed to lapse during the war of elements, has been resumed. None of the ‘wounded soldiers are any worse, and most of them seem a little better. A STARTLING REPORT. OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 2.—A startling dispatch was received from Pine Ridge last night, in which it is stated that 3,000 Indians left there and are now believed to be on the war path. All well armed and supplied with ammuni- tion, the redskins have no provisions and will have toresort to foraging. The military force at Pine ‘Ridge and _ vicinity com prises a part of the Second Infantry, four troops of the Ninth Cavalry, eight troops of the Seventh Cavalry and Capron’s Battery of Light Artillery. In the field about Pine Ridge are three com- nies of the First Infantry,a part of the inth Regiment of Cavalry and a part ofthe Second Infantry; to the north and within striking distance a part of the Eighth Cavalry and the whole of the Sixth Cavalry. GEN. BROOKE NOT RELIEVED. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 2.—Gen. Schofield said this morning that there is no truth in the report telegraphed from the West that Gen. ke had been relieved from his command at Pine Ridge. ‘*Gen. Miles,’’ he added, ‘‘has charge ofthe campaign and as it has _ progressed he .has_ stationed himself at the most convenient ints for. general communication with his forces. At first he remained at Chicago, where he had almost unlimited means for eg tee eG Then he moved his headquarters, first to St. Paul and then to Rapid City, so as to get the quickest word possible to, the whole body of troops moving in from all directions. Finally, when the concentration has so far progressed as to bring the forces within a comparatively small compass, he has moved again to Pine Ridge and now has command as before, of the entire body of troops, but at the point of concentration,’’ This scheme, Gén. Schofield says, was ren- dered necessary by the conditions -which re- quired the congregation of forces from. so many points and over such t dis- tances. Gen. Brooke, who been on the field while Gen. Miles has been mgeenveeay: this way to t to Pine Ridge simultaneously with the bulk of the troops, has now left that int for some other place on the scene of action and oe: bly has cnerge ofa section of the forces, Gen. Schofield attributes the rumor toa pop- ular misinterpretation of a military Mmove- ment that is very easily explained. “Itis v dificulty’’ said Gen. Schofield, **to estimate just how many troops there are now on the scene of action. Gen. Miles has copie pee ge of F some aah {five of cavalry and some ery ,a a regi- ment.

It is believed that Little Wound was the brain that, planned and dj- rected the battlé, as if showed more gener- aiship than has been displayed since Red Cloud’s venue days. Old Red Cloud sent in aletter last night claiming that he wasa prisonerand begging the soldiers to come and save him. .This is corroborated by friendlies, who Say that when the stampede took place Monday old Red’s wife began to throw things into the wagons and with true wifely spirit said She was for .war and would gO out on the pen sf path even if her liege ord remained and fought on the other side. ~ BURIAL OF THE SOLDIERS. PINE RIDGE AGENCY, 8. D., Jan. 2.—Gen. Miles yesterday assumed command of the aot forces here, relieving Gen. Brooke. The latter at once went into the field with the Second Infantry, by way of Oelrichs, toa point fifteen miles north of here. The burial of the thirty brave soldiers who fell in the Wounded ee Creek engage- ment took place yesterday during one of the severest. winter storms that ever Visited this s@ction, At 2 o’clock the sad cortege, headed by Gen. Forsythe and Maj. Whitesides, wended its way to the little cemetery onthe créstof the hill near the Agency. Details from companies A, B, D, E, Kand F ofthe Sevefith Cavairy formed the escort. Rev. Dr. Cook readthe burial ser- vice. The customa salute of guns fired over the graves was omitted owing to the critical condition of affairs here. BATTLE OF WOUBDED KNEE CREEK. PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Jan. 2,—A correspond- ent, who was an eye-witness of the tight at Wounded Knee Creek between Big Foot’s | band and the Seventh Cavalry, sends the fol- lowing description of the battle: Scarcely had the work of disarming the In- dians began when some ofthe ghost dancers began swaying and singing their ghost chant, while the medicine man began to make medl- cine. A handful of dist was thrown Into the air; the Indians lea totheir feetand began pouring their deadly fire into the faces of the astounded soldiers, not more than twenty feet away. The crash of the first volley had died away when it was echoed by the return volley of the soldiers, and the slaughter began. There was norun- ning, no stampede, no flinching for twenty minutes. It was one deafening crash, one blaze of musketry, one boom, boom; boom of the rapeey fe cannons. It was bullets past the head, between the knees, through the clothing and all through the heads and hearts of many. Then the remnants ofthe enemy, broke and ran, a bunch of about fif- teen, mainly women and children, escaping to a ravine close by. Whocan picture the scene, who ers ords the hell from which one er ? It nuparallieled in the history of Indian wars. In aes a ea and y soldiyrs and 135 Indians, while fifty women and children lay writhing with the agony of their wounds, over one hundred and sixty-fiVe human be- ings being dead in that small space and ninety wounded. Such results of an hour anda half fighting between -such forces is almost beyond belief. Indians from Pine Ridge who had heard the boomof the cannon dashed in and carried off the small party hid in the ravine, very nearly cutting off and killing Capt. Jackson and his party of twenty men who were trying to dislodge this party. Capt. George D. Wallace was killed at the door of a tepee, being struck by two bullets in the leg, one through the stomach, and one over the right eye, and hit witha hatchet on top of the head and across the forehead. TREACHEROUS INDIAN SCOUTS. PINE RIDGE AGENCY, 8S. D., Jan. 2.—By orders of the commanding officer communi- cation over the wiretothe railroad towns is denied everybody except the officers. Gen.

The Awfal Fate of Lineman James Hanlon To-Day. A HORRIBLE SIGHT WITNESSED BY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, While at Work on the Wires on Olive Street Between Broadway and Fourth the Unfortunate Man Takes Hold of an Uninsulated Wire and After Being Burned Drops to the Street. __ James Hanlon, a Bell Telephone lineman, 35 years of age, was shocked to death by an electric wire at noon to-day ona pole on the south side of Olive street, between Fourth streetand Broadway. As death came upon him he felltothe sidewalk forty feet below. This horrible sight was witnessed by more than one hundred persons on the streetor in the windows of the large office buildings in the neighborhood, but no one could be of any assistance. Hanlonj Wm. Renkel and W. D. Martin, all linemen, were out strengthening wire, and, were almost at the end of their trip when they reached the alley between Fourth street and Broadway on Olive street. At the mouth of this alley is the most dangerous pole in thecity, with perhaps the exception of thoseon Fourth and Olive and Fourth and Pine‘streets. It has the reputation of being deadly, and a look at it any one that it. would certainly not be desirable to be compelled to climb the pole. Allthe small wire companies, such as the telephones, messenger calls, fire alarm and telegraph wires are to be found on this one pole, and they occupy the upper half. In the middle, are the cables small wires leading Co, the at Fourth and Pine streets. are the heavy electric ight wires. tematic manner of 2 pales the harmless from the deadly wires has not been followed very closely on this particular pole or in fact any pole downtown. Wires are strung with the utmost abandon and recklessness in some places on the pole and it was at one of these that Hanlon met his death, ON THE TOP OF THE POLE. Martin was at the top of the poleamong his company’s wires and Hanlon was midway between the topand bottom of the space ac- cupied by the ‘wires, looking after the cables ofthe company. These cables are lengths of lead piping containing 100 or more wires around which is an_ insulating composition, and they are hung ona heavy ‘‘supporting’’ wire with clasps every few feet. Hanlon had repaired all the Clasps and, itis thought, saw another one on the end of anarm about four feet from the pole which was becoming loose, and he started forit. 1t is a common practice of linemen tocatch hold of the arm of pole with their hands and walk on the héavier wires while moving about. The insulation of these heavier wires prevents the current passing from them into the shoes of the linemen, but even should the insulation be worn off no evil results will fol- low if the ineman does not touch some other bare wire and thus form a Clr- cuit with his ody. Hanlon who was one of the oldest linemen in the city that point but not rubber tape insulator which the law com- pels companies touse in these connections. The wire was bare, and when Hanlon placed his boot — itthe current rushed A him into the supporting cable wire he had in his hand. Instantly blue flamesa foot lon leaped from his hand and foot, and clouds o smoke caused by the burning of his rubber gloves, his boot and flesh, and atiracted the attention of the people passing at the time, A shout was raised by several and several persons called upon Martin on top of the pole to rescue the man below him. The wires were in such a tangled state Martin could not get down rapidly, and in the mean- time Hanlon, paralyzed by rent and unable to move, in agony,and did not utter a sound. flames continued to issue from the points of contact, and the clouds of smoke from the burning flesh were growing in volume. The officers of the Madison Car Co., whose office window was on a level with Hanlon, raised the window and tried to reach him, but could not. They stood there helpless, watching the wire burn through the suffering man’s hand and foot. DROPPED TO THE STREET. Martin had by this time reached the arm on which Hanlon leaned, and was bracing him- self for a powerful lift whem Hanlon, who had been swaying to and “fro each second, let go his hold, tumbled backward, and after a brief stop on the heavy wires below him dropped head first on the corner of the curb. The skull was mashed flat .aand the brains were scattered over an area of four or five feet on the sidewalk, Offi- cer Laber, who walks the beat, had seen the accident from the beginning, and at the sight of the blue flames had sent a message for the patrol wagon. Itarrived soon after Hanlon fell, and the body was carriedto the Morgue. On examination it was found that the current had burned through the boot and into the foot, and had burned b of his tleft hand ~=s50 badly it broke. off while the body,was being moved. The body was black and blue all over and the features of the face distorted, but of all semblance to the man whenalive. It was said by those who saw Hanlon just as he fell that he was dead before he reached the ground and that it was only the muscular contraction of the hand in the agony of death -that sustained his weight. is foot was resting lightiy on the wire from which the current was escaping and the whole weight of the body was on the hand until the thumb burned almost through gave way and the body gS The shouts for help drew a crowd in a few minutes which blocked the streets and every ‘window in the surrounding office buildings contained a wit- ness to the terrible death and fall. A HORRIBLE SIGHT. An officer in the Madison Car Co.’s office in the Laclede Building describing the scene he witnessed said: ‘‘My attention was attracted bya cry of horror from some one on the afroct and turning around I saw the man ing in the wires only a few from our window. ue flames fully a foot long were copies m his foot and hand, and the look oPagony on his face was terrible to see. I raised the window, but recoiled at the stifling odor of burning flesh. He was out of reach, and alll or the: others here could do wasto add our shouts to the man onthe pole above to come down.

The Reason the Illinois Steel Co.’s Works Shut Down. . Cutcaco, MTll., Jan. 2.—Officials of the Illinois Steel Co. claim that no special signifi- cance attaches to the shutting down of the rolling milis at South Chicago, which took place last Wednesday. They say that they / shut down every winter for repairs and to ad- | just matters for the next season. The official who gave this information added: ‘‘Wearetryingto settle a scale of wages with the men for the coming year and want with the men for ten or fifteen days in regard to the wages, and I can’t tell how long it will be-before we arrange the entire scale.”’ ‘*‘Does the company intend to reduce the wages of the men?’’ was asked. ‘*We shall be obliged to make some reduc- tion. The mills in the East have reduced wages and we have to meet that difference. The men must accepta reduction of wages or we can’t run.’’ ‘*Has the shutting down at this particular time, while the negotiations are pending, anything at all to do with the question?’’ ‘*‘Nothing whatever. We hadtoshut down for the reason I have stated and in accordance with our custom in the past.’’ The Edgar Thompson Strike. NEw YORK, Jan. 2.—Regarding the reported strike of Hungarians who are employed at the Edgar Thomson Iron Works, at Pittsburg, Andrew Carnegie made the following state- ment yesterday: ‘‘A few top fillers at the Edgar Thomson blast furnaces made a demand day before yes- terday for eight hours work and a 10 per cent. advance in wages and they threatened that unless the firm complied immediately they would quit the furnaces on Jan. 1. These men were under a standing scale of wages and by the agreement are bound to continue upon the present scale until Jan. 1, next, not having given the firm notice by Oct. 1, last, of their desire fora change. The firm promptly declined to yield to threats and will not under any circumstances. Only afew men are concerned in the movement and hundreds will be ready to take their laces. Asis well known the iron and steel ndustries are depressed. Bessemer pig iron isTower than ever it has been in Pittsburg. The Scranton Steel Rail Mills, the Pull- man Co. and the Pottsville, Pa., iron works have all reduced the wages of their men 10 percent. The Edgar Thomson company has made no reduction and intended to go through the year at the old rates... Itis, however, not possible for it to advance wages when its competitors are reducing them. It is not believed that the trouble will be serious, as the vast majority of the men are entirely satisfied and have given support tothe special class now objecting. The total number now out does not exc fifty men.’’ A SERIOUS RIOT. PITTTBURG, Pa., Jan. 2:—Yesterday after- noon the striking Hungarians attacked the men who were repairing the boilers at Edgar Thompson steel works at Braddock, Pa.

LOUISANS TO BUILD A TOWN ON THE MERAMEC. A Place Which Will Be a Great Resort _for the People—Water-Works, a. Hotel, a Club-House and Boat Houses. to Be Built. | | A year from now St. Louis will have a first- classstimmer resort. A company has been organized and is already at work laying out roads and walks and preparing for the erec- tion of a number of buildings, which promise to be unusually attractive. The company is composed of Dr. H. Tuholske, Mr. Marcus Bernheimer and Mr, 8. M. Lederer, and their purpose is to bulldup a village which shall be equipped with the modern conveniences and be in _ “itself a complete and perfect little town, The property of the company is about four hundred acres in extent. It is situated on the Meramec Highlands on a bend in the river at the point where the Meramec approaches nearest to St. Louis. There are four hills about 300 feet from the river bank, bluffs with asheer wall onthe river side, and these hills will be the residence sites. Until recently the whole property was an immense and dense wood, but Mr. M. G. Kern, wholaid out Forest and Lafayette Parks, is now at work cutting roadways and walk ways which will be paved with a natural gravel pavement that is found there. Vistas are,being cut through the woods looking towffds the river and develop- ing the most beautiful scenery. A GREAT SITE. Mr. Lederer, the Secretary of the company, said to-day: ‘‘I am waiting very anxiously to get the place in shape for people to see it, for when they do I know they will be as much surprised asI wasto find that there is such scenery sonear St. Louis. There isa stretch ofamile anda half of river which is as straight as a line, and from the top of the bluffs | you can see, on a clear day, a distance of 40or50 miles. The bluffs are 450 feet higher than the city directrix, and there is a sheer fall down tothe Meramec of 270 to 290 feet. We propose to build hotels, boat- houses, bathing-houses, an electric plant and water-works, and make the village more complete in conveniences than this city Is. We will have about five miles of roads and walks paved as well as those of Forest Park. There is one place on the property which is admirably suited for a lake and weintendto make a lake of it. When our engineers examined it they wn san and gravel which would have to be removed that would make streets for all St. Louis, and we will make our streets of it. When the ex- | cavating is done we will have a lake of about eleven acres in extent, which we propose to stock with the finest varieties of fish. FURNISH WATER TO OTHER SUBURBS. ‘*The water-works we intended to construct only forour own village, but some of the suburban residents wanted to get water from us, SO we concluded that if the residents of the other towns between Meramec Highlands and the city limits would join with us we would put up works which would supply them all. Wewilll run mains to the various towns and from the mains run water pipes into the houses just as they are in the on: ‘“*Our principal idea in all the improve- ments is beauty. The scenery there is capable of unlimited development and nothing will be putin which will not add to the beauty of the place. The ’Frisco runs through the center of the property, and the contracts are already partly let for a beauti- ful stone depot. The water tower will be an ornament, and the hotels and cottages will be as retty as an architect can make them. Weare not decided whether- we will put uponeor twohotels. Probably there will be two, occupying the tops of two On.one hill we will build a club house for the St. Louls and: University Chub mem: bers and: the other hill will be de- voted to private residences. Only 150 acres will be used for residence purposes and the other 250 acres will be made into a park ,orna- mented with walks and drives, evergreens, fountains, everything that will make the place pretty. The park will be for the com- mon use of all the residents, so that everyone who lives there will practically have a coun- ay home of 250 acres besides the residence ot. A COURSE FOR REGATTAS. ‘*‘We propose to build a handsome boat house, too, Thereis one.there now, but it is a ram-shackle old building whichis not suit- ed to our purposes. We will have a fine one, and with a mile and a half straight-away course I think we can get some first-class re- gattas there. There will bea bathing house, with a flat bottom, floating in the river,where the water, even when it is low, always flows swifty enough to be pleasant for swimming. ‘‘One of the chief charms about the loca- cation is thatitisaway above the mosquito and malaria line, and those who are accus- tomed to be lulled to sleep by the music of the mosquito will have to ve gd that pleas- ure there. Thereis a mineral spring on the property, which furnishes an abundant sup- ply of splendid water. We have had analyasis as one can get anywhere. The whole place seems to be blessed by nature, and it is half made already. The only thing we have to do is to make our roads through a forest of beautiful trees and scoop out the lake and we are ready to build. The villiage will not De apened before the spring of 1892, 1 am sorry to say, for I would like to move out there next summer myself. With boating clubs,bathing, the St. Louis and University Clubs, the lake fishing and miles of beautiful drives, I think we will have a resort that will suit the people of St. Louis better then those a thousand miles away. They needn't gO North for it is always 8 degrees cooler at Meramec Heights than it is in St. Louis, so that we have there practically a northern climate. My only wonder is that no one has ever established an attractive re- sort near St. Louis before. That county is full of places that might, like ours, be made as beautiful as any placeinthe world. The eople of this city don’t know, haven’t the atntest idea, of what grand and gorgeous scenery there is right here in St.Louts County, but I believe we got the pick of it when we selected Meramec Heights.

WASHINGTON, D. *°C.,-Jad. 2.—Some qutet consultation has been in progress among the Republican Senators now in the city, with reference to the next week’s roceedings. The speeches made y Senators Teller and Wolcott last Tuesday have made some impression, but as they were expected, the effect was not so marked asthat resulting from the few re- marks made by Senator Hale. In his complaint that the trial had not been made in the old fashioned methods to secure action upon the election bill, he undoubtedly voiced the feelings of some of the conservative Republican Senators, who feel that § it would be unwise to thange the rules, and adopt the eloture rule until the usual routine . methods had proven to be ineffective. The talk this morn- ing among the Senators revealed a disposition to allow this conservative element to satisfy itself by an actual trial of the futility-of ‘the old system of campaign which resolves itself into a matter of physical endurance. This would involve the holding of night sessions ofthe Senate in addition to the usual daylight sessions; just how many, no one can tell, but as many as ma be nec- essary to convince the Senators who are still reluctant to admit the necessity for a cloture rule. Inasmuch as thereisa general desire among the Re- publican Senators to confer upon the subject in caucus, there was no disposition evi- denced to arrange a programme upon this basis to-day, but the general tone of the dis- cussion may be significant as foreshadowing one result oi the caucus.

He had little signs paintedand hung on each flour, annonc- cing that those who were not on hand 7 ‘o'clock would fiot be allowed time until8 o’clock. A committee called on Mr. Beattie and said that the men were sat's- filed with the rule, but they didn’t like to have those signs stuck up; it looked too much like a penitentiary. He declined to take them down and the men went out, Rush of Rebate Claimants. The rush of rebate claimants at the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue in the Custom-house continued to-day. There was another rush th also,a rush of stamp purchasers. The stamp sales to-day were not enormous, a§ Compared to other ordinarily busy wars but it was still big enough to ex. haust the clerks. The reduction of 25 per the tax on manufactured tobacco was the rush. Some fac- shipments on\ orders received during the last day ‘or two of 1889 in order to stamp the packages atthe reduced rate. The sales this morning amounted to over $15,000, which would cover manufactured tobaccO amounting to about 250,000 pountis. On the safhe humber of pean at the old rate the tax would have en $20,000. cent December in San Francisco. From the San Francisco Alta.

New YorK, Jan. 2.—The new year opened on Wall street with comparatively light trading, but a perceptibly stronger feeling was manifested in financial circles than has existed for some time past. The close of the Pyear was not characterized by nearly as many failures of commercial houses as had been feared, andthe pressure on the banks was therefore lighter than had been pro- vided for. That there {fs stilla pressure, and one of no small proportions, is very mani- fest,and itis also well known that there are a most unusual number of unsettled ac- counts, but the number of failures.has been much smaller than was anticipated. AIDING EACH OTHER. The stronger houses have not pressed their debtors for payment when said pressure would have resulted in precipitating a fail- ure, and there has been a general agreement that those unable to meet their obligations should be leniently dealt with. In nearly all cases the firms that are unable to meet their paper require only an easier moving market toenable themto pay their obligations, as business has been unusually prosperous during the past three months, and the embarrassed houses are only in this condition because of their inability:to obtaid the ordl- nary ativances on perfectly good security. The manufacturers in particular are carrying their customers and each other, and the banks have extended paper with the greatest epeceg me although they have made gs few new loans as possible. THE RENEWAL SYSTEM. The liberal system of renewals, which was inaugurated about ten days ago, has proved highly beneficial and has resulted in little de- pletion of banking funds. Had the policy of calling in bonds been continued, while more money would have gone into the banks than under the renewal system, much more would have gone out tosupply the needs of commercial men, whose creditors pressed for paymenht by the banks, would tds been obliged to obtain the money from 1em. larger firms to come tothe aid of the smaller concerns, and has prevented the numerous failures that would unquestionably have oc- curred had the general liquidation that at one time seemed probable been in- sisted upon. The financial stringency is not yet over, but the worst part of what has been called the danger zone, the period immediately preceding and immedi- ately succeeding the elose of the year has been passed without disaster. A BETTER TONE PREVALENT This fact has given confidence to holders of stocks, and prevented the bear raid which was on the books for the new year. There have been scarcely any forced sales of stock, and this with the general refusal of holders to lend stocks has still high, being between 344 and 4 per cent there is no likelihood that the bank rate will be advanced. The money market in this city will not be easy untilabout the middle of the month, when the cash paid out for interest and annual dividends will find its way back to the banks. Until money is easy ho great re- vival in the stock market is looked for, but when time money can readily be obtained a strong bull movement is predicted. A FEATURELESS MARKET. First prices were almost alllowerand the losses from Wednesday’s final figures ex- tended to % per cent. These concessions were followed by further declines in -all the active stocks, although the business done was quite limited and outside of the usv¥al half dozen stocks little animation was shown. Loulis- ville & Nashville was again the leatler of the downward movement, scoring a loss from Wednesday’s price of 1% percent, The oth- ers, among which Lackawanna was most prominent, lost fractionalamounts. The list developed a better tone later in the hour, but there was no material improvement in prices and at 11 o’clock the market was very dull an barely steady at a shade better than the low- est prices. A SLIGHT ADVANCE. Money was close at 6@7 percent. The stock market aftér il o’clock developed a more mage ai 4 strong tone and everything traded n was lifted above the level of the opening prices, while the coal stocks and some ofthe low-priced shares showed marked strength, making material advances. The top Hg son were not maintained toward the end of the hour, but at noon the market was dull and firm at fractional gains over the opening prices. CLOSING PRICES. The trading in the stock market after 12 o’clock showed greater animation in many of the leading shares, while the upward move- ment became more pronounced and the best prices of the day were reached all along the line. For the first’ time in several days Union Pacific became one of the strong features and rose 1% per cent, Lackawanna following with 14, Louisville & Nashville 1 per cent and the others fractional amounts, though Sugar on very light transactions rose 1. At these figures, how- ever, the upward movement halted and the market became less active and retired at slight fractions. The tundertohe remained strong, however, and the concessions from the best figures were slight in every case and at 2:15 the market was dull and firm, close to the highest prices of the day. In London prices were: Consols, money and account, 9515-16; United States 4s, 124%; do 4tes, 106; A. &G.

By Private Wire to Gaylord, Blessing & Co. NEw YORK, 9 a. m.—The most of the hotel gossip over New Year’s Day-was bullish on stocks and bonds, and if an advance did not set in this week, it was believed it would during the next week. Henry Clews says he is abull,and hie prédicts that early in the new year Northwestern will selluptoi10, It was the gossip in stock circles that the Bate- man failure was hastened by the operations of Jim Gladwin, who suddenly withdrew $40,000 worth of securities, belonging to Wright & Co. of Buffalo, and this weakened the bank account of the house. traders in the Stock Exchange say room was surely bare of stocks on Wednes- day and it certainly looked as if the stock market had turned and a more confident feel- ing prevailed.

Indisputable Facts That the Yankee Often Forgets. The area of the Dominion of Canada is @s- timated at 3,379,000 square miles, or, includ- ing its water surface, 3,519,000 square miles, It is the largest of all the British possessions, constituting 40 per cent of the empire, the total area of which is over 8,000,000 square miles. Canada lacks only 237,002 square miles of being as large as the whole continent of ett ge it is nearly thirty times as large as Great Britain and Ireland, and is ,000 square miles larger than the United States, exclusive of Alaska. Canada covers rather more than one-fourteenth part of the earth’s surface, but contains only 1-286th part of the population of the world. Canada extends from the Atlantic to th Pacific Ocean, a distance of 3,500 miles, an from the United States boundary to the Arctic Ocean, a distance of 1,400 miles, and com- prises all the British possessions in North America, excepting Newfoundland, Labrador and the West India Islands. Some idea of this immense country and of its great water- ways—the most extensive in the world—may be had when we state that its coast line on the Atlantic measures 10,000 miles, and over 7,000 miles on the Pacific; that 2,000 miles from the ocean the traveler may lose sight of land and be prostrated by seasick- ness; and that, with one transhipment at Montreal, goods can be landed at the head of Lake Superior, in the center of the continent, s drainin Lawrence, of over 2,000,000 square miles in extent. In gw poi region the Saskatche- wan affords 1,500 miles of steamboat naviga- tion. Close upon the north of it commences the Mackenzie River ‘ 550,000 square miles.

THE.NEW TREASURY NOTES Declared to Be the Poorest Ever Issued by the Government. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—A well dressed man 4hrew a brand new $2 billofthe latest series of Treasury notes upon the sill of the box office window atthe Broadway Theater last night and asked for an orchestra seat. ‘‘All right, sir,’’ said Treasurer Fletcher cheerily, and he passed out a ticket and straightened out the crisp greenback prepara- tory to giving change, just as a bank teller handles bills. He held the narrower ends of the billin his hands and gave it a little snap. The bill ripped right in half inthe middle. ‘*Well, by Jove.’’ exclaimed the purchaser of the seat, ‘‘that’s odd. I never saw a greenback break like that before.’’ ‘*Oonfound it!’’ retorted Mr. Fletcher in a nettled tone, ‘‘there is not anything odd aboutitatall. It happens ten times a day to me. The new bills are really the rottenest thatthe Government has ever put intocir- culation.’’ Manager Sanger backed his treasurer up directly about the quality of the new bills. ‘‘What’s the matter with them, anyhow?’’ Mr. Fietcher was asked. He replied: ‘*Perhaps the only decent one is the $10- bill. The ones, twos and fives seem to be literally rotten asfaras the paper in them 1s con- cerned. They crackin the middle and tear so easy that it is almost impossible not to mutilate them when countingthem,. The $i0- bill is the only onethat seems to have any durable quality of paper inthem. When the new bills get soiled they are the dirtiest things inthe money world. The paper cuts off and clings to the eee just like the fuzz of blotting-pa and [have seen new bills that were Alling to pieces. Another thing about the bills is that they resemble each other so closely that it is a continual mental strain to keep track of their denomination as they come into the window. The bills of other issues could be identified immediately by any one used to handling them, just by the different design oi the face and pack, even when folded, without the numerals bein exposed.’’ Treasurer Fletcher’s criticism is oply a sample of the popular disfavor “with which the new bills have been received in the metropolis. Hotel - keepers, restaurant men and the saloons all object tothe poor quality of the paper, and especially to.its brittleness and the ease with which it catches dirt and wears out. There is a popular demand forthe name of thecontractor who makes the paper, and those who claim to be experts in engraying assert that no series ever issued from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing can be so easily counterfeited as these new bills.

FIRE AT THE HOUSE OF REFUGE. The Engine Room Burned and Considera- ble Excitement Created. Shartly before 4 0’clock this morning Peter Ryan, night guard at the House of Refuge. discovered a dense volume of smoke issuing from the engine room, a small buildingon the west side of the main building. Heat once sent in an alarm from box 439, to which the department responded, By hard work the flames were confined to the small build- ing. At the first alarm there was considerable, excitement occasioned among the hundreds of childrenin the main building. The guards and instructors were on hand inan instant and soon succeeded in calming the frightened prisoners. The chil- dren were quietly dressed and marched into the larger rooms, where they were held in readiness to desert the place in event of the flames communicating to the structure, .iIn less than half an hour. however, the fire was so far extinguished that the children were returned to their quarters. The boiler house was totally destroyed, the engine and other machinery noms badly wrecked. The damage is estimated at about $5,000 which loss is fully covered by insurance. The main building was untouched. The exact cause of the fire could not be ascertained. ¢ a A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR. President Timothy Dwight to Be Ban- quetted This Evening.

M amie SAMUEL BANKS ADMITS HAVING FIRED A STABLE. The True Origin of the Fire in the ‘Rear of the Junk Shop at 1220 North Ninth Street New Year’s Eve Made Known at Last. Warrants for arson in the third degree were issued by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Estep at the Four @ourts this morning against Samuel Banks. B. Weisemann and Charles Finklestein, Allofthe defendants are Rus- sian Jews living in the colony in the Third District. On New Year’s Eve shortly before 12 o’clock fire was discovered in the stable in the rear of the junk shop run by Sam Banks and Charles Finklestein at 1220 North Ninth street. An alarm was sent.in from box 13, but before the arrival of the department the flames had gained great headway and communicated to the stable adjoining. Four horses belonging to Banks & Finklestein and three horses be- longing toa dealer named Louis Goldstein, which were in the adjoining shed, were con- sumed. Goldstein’s suspicions were aroused by the peculiar actions of Sam Banks. Accordingly he, yesterday afternoon, approached Banks in his shop andaccused him point blank of setting fire to the stable for the pur- pose of securing the insurance. Banks emphatically denied his guilt, but was so closely questioned by Goldstein that after a few minutes he broke down and confessed his complicity in the affair. To Goldstein he told that another junk dealer named B. Welsemann had fired the place, but on further gre nee admit- ted that he had induced his friend to do the work, pay ying him $50 for his services. He also insisted that his partner, Charles Finkle- stein, was cognizant of the scheme and had abetted it from the start. IMPLORED MERCY. Goldstein at once threatened prosecution andthe miserable Banks fell on hig knees to implore for mercy. He even went so faras to attempt to bribe Goldstein to silence, offering him $100 if he would not inform the authorities. Goldstein, in order that the man might not take alarm and seek safety in flight, | ony dees to consider the fhe ng a and left the shop agreeing to meet Banks that evening. Hekept his promise. With De- tectives Burke and McFarland of the Third } ared about 7 o’clock at Banks’ place of . business and witnessed the arrest of the discomfited fire bug. At the station-house Banks repeated his confession to the authorities.. On the strength of this B. Weisemann was taken into custody. The latter emphatically protested his innocence and even when confronted by Banks persisted that he knew nothing whatever of the mat- ter. Finklestein could not be found. It is more than probable that he in some by got wind of the exposure and went into winter uarters. He is wellknown to the police of the Third District. T his morning Goldstein accompanied Detec- tives Burke and McFarland to the Four ale sing and swore to thejinformation charging Bank Weisemann and ¥ inklesein with arson in the third degree. He insists that he will prose- eute the case to the end. The houses owned by District he ap | Banks & Finklestein were valued at $200 while Goldstein estimates his loss at $850. The motive for the crime as assigned by the authorities is shown inthe fact that Banks 4 ee recently insured their wt is possible that Banks may also be prose- cuted for attempted bribery in offering Gold- stein $100 as the price of his silence. This step will hardly be taken, however, as long as the arson case remains stable. F or Breaking Open a Oar. Joseph Stewart was arrested this morning by Detectives Fitzgerald and Frese of head- quarters. The prisoner is a railroad switch- man. It is alleged that yesterday morning he broke open a Louisville, Evansville & St.’ Louis Ngee = 1 car on the tracks in the yg Depot s and stole a a chinchilla overcoat, a mr pants and a conductor’s lala the el ege of C.

Dressed Poultr As ins somatked in Wednes- day’s report, the arrivals laté in the day were liberal of turkeys, and as thy weather was bad, the demand fell. off owing to the backwardness of buyers who held for declines. Prices faturally sagged and considerable of the receipts were carried over to yesterday (most ¥ the commission houses were open to business), Or sent to cold storage houses to prevent their turning sour. Arrivals yes- terday morning were liberal also, and a good deal of it in bad shape—sweaty, slimy, soft in some instances sour, eceipts morning of fresh stock were light but coupled with that carried over, were in excess of the demand, and a decline since our last report is noted. As is usually the case at Christmas and New Year’s, the express companies were slow in handling consignments, and commission men were placed at great disadvantage in conseqence.

May fluctuated between 97%c and QB8ike as the ex- tremes. .The deliveries of corn were light and it opened with a show of strength, though the fluctua- tions were harrow, the May option, ranging in price from 52% to 58ige. The strength in that cereal was due to the wet weather in the eorn belt, which will have a tendency to lower the quality by wetting the corn in exposed cribs. May oats opened igc higher at 46c, but the markét had no ‘‘gimp’’ to it and quickly sold off to 45%.

NEw York, Jan. 2.—Sergius Stephniak, the | Russian Nihilist who has just arrived in this country, will deliver a lecture for charitable purposes on the Sth inst. at the Metropolitan _ Opera-honse. The Russian is a peculiar look- ing person. He is tall, with a head of black, kinky hair, which appears to be standing on ‘end; a black, bushy beard, brown eyes and cheeks. In repose the man is flerce- g, but that impression is dispelled as as he begins is manner being c panies him, isa ve ‘ He discusses the matters in which his inter- est centers with great spirit and very ifter- estingly. “Me Gbject in coming to America,’’ Mr. B&te explained, ‘‘is to tell Americans my countrymen are being treated arouse ds pid on hat the doctrines of the Rus- ulated throughout movement in Russia, so t sian patriots may be circ volutionary th lowed to worship as they please, and to be allowed ve their chiidren as good an education as Ww. | **‘Do you representany particular part or committee during your visit here?’’ ask the reporter. _ ‘**Ina waylI represent the National -Lib- eral Association of England, an association wh aim isto relieve the oppressed condi- ‘ pence Watson of Newcastle, founded it and isjits hairman. Its roll includes nine member . Parliament, part Conservative and part Lib- eral. The mba anee | people of Russia are pepe: personally, but asa body we are willing to allow the Czar to remain at the head of the Empire, but as President of a con- federation, andtorule witha Senate or a Parlament.’’ **It has been charged that Sergius Stepniak ig an assumed name,’’ ventured the reporter. . **Well, it is, but I have used it so long and for so many years have been known by it that I have resolved to retain it, at the same time concealing my real one. You must remember that we have no public opinion in Russia. A man can on the slightest pretext be taken out not raise their voice in condemnation. But there is a great world outside of Russia where public opinion exists, andto that world we areappealing. Our object is a humanitarian to do our best to minimize Russian . The Czar is not the supreme ruler. There is a body of officials about him that are the power, while in private life. there is a erful body of liberals that wé hope to in- uence. **Do you think your doctrines are spread- **Yes, at a rapid rate, particularly in the army. Toshow how harsh Russian laws are may be instanced a law recently ssed that the children of poopie of the middle classes should not be a ted to colleges. This law also applies to small sho yg chil- dren. The Government taking the und that such people are not entitled to much education. But we are fondly hoping that the day is not far distant When all that will be changed, and that Russians can live like '* *those of other nations.’ **Are youin sympathy with the terrorists in their extreme measures?’’ “**To an extent Iam. If one plan fails a man must turnto another.. Do I think the Czar is in danger? Yes,I do. And should they kill him I would not object. He thinks he is doing his duty by the people. Little does he know that he is approaching a tremendous revolution in Russia. A popular revolution is proaching that is sure tosweep him and s corrupt court off the face of the earth.?’’ Stepniak, the name signifying ‘‘son of the steppes,’’ is 39 years old, and while a lieuten- ant in the Russian army he became interested in the revotutionary movement. In order to spread its doctrines he resigned his commis- on and became a school teacher. The Government placed its him and in 1873 he the country. He has returned several times since ‘then. On account of his trouble with the - Government he became the founder of the **Tllegal People,’’ a class that the Russian Government say have no legal right to live, on account of their seditious conduct. Since his banishment from Russia Stepniak has liv in England, France, Switzerland and Italy. In the latter country he wrote his famous ‘‘Underground Russia.’’ During ‘“his stay in England he has been received in i hest circles, many of his followers and findncial supporters being representative pow At one time he was a writer on the ndon Times. In order to.offset the effect onthe‘English people of Stepniak’s teach- ings the Czar sént Mme. Novikoff so the Brit- ish metropolis to protest, but her protesta- tions seem thus far to have been in vain. $5.75—Via Wabash—$5.75.

LOUIS WILL HAVE I1.| INDOOR BASE BALL TO BE INTRODUCED. HERE THIS MONTH. Dempsey Will Make No Furtherg Conces-. sions to Fitzsimmons—Comments on the Late Belmont Horse Sale—Winter Racing—Sporting Notes. Indoor base ball is to be given a trial in St. Louis. The success it has obtained in Chicago has led other cities to take it up and the sport is now being experimented with in both Bos- ton*and New York, and it is believed that it will become very popular at both these cities. Both Boston and New York have organized teams of professionals, ‘‘King Kel’’ being the hand of the bean-eaters,while Mutrie is managing the New York profession- als. Charles Comiskey, the captain of’ last year’s Chicago Players’ League team, who is to resume his old position at the head of the St. Louis Browns, is taking hold of the move- ment here, assisted by George Munson, the old secretary of the Browns, whosewas also with the Chicago Players’ aggregation last season. Munson hasbeen here all fall, and yesterday Comiskey arrived in the city and he is now quartered at the Lindell. When seen there by a POST- DISPATCH reporter this morning and ques- tioned concerning the meaning of his pres- ence in the city, Comiskey replied: -*fT’m going in business with George Mun- son. Weexpectto give a serpes of indoor base bal].games this month at one of the big halls, and I came down from Dubuque to get) mattersin shape for it.’’ ‘*‘What do you think ofit asa sport?’’ he was asked. ‘‘Itis very fascinating and entertaining especially where two 4 teams are pitte against each other. think our team will and if the me is a success at Madison equate Garden we will get the New Yorks and Mike Kelly’s Bostons to come on and play In Chicago the game is patronized im- mensely. It ought totake here as well as it has taken there. It is no unusual thing to see fete to 5,000 people attending the game in cago.’’ **Who will be on your téam here?’’ ‘*We’ll have some first-class men. There’s Pat Tebeau, Billy Joyce, Robinson, Ralph Johnson, Jim Davis, Silver King, Munyan, and Perry Weiden here now. It is a game involving unusual activity, and it keeps a fellow guessing as to the quickest way to cope with each point as it arises.’’ **When will you start to play?’’ ‘*It will take some timeto get everything inshape. I think about the middle of the month.’’ **‘Capt. Comiskey: was never looking better. He has entirely recovered from his severe illness of last summer, and is now the picture of health. A question which presented itself tothe reporter’s mind was where the nine could secure a hall here large enough for their purpose, but Comiskey seems confident of overcoming this obstacle, and says itis not necessary to have so _—— an area as people generally suppose. f course the larger the halithe better, but the game can be played in an interesting and ex- citing manner ina hall ofonly fair size, and he vy aed now being played in other cities in such Is. here. DEMPSEY AND FITZSIMMONS. Jack Dempsey is fortunate in his friends, writes Macon. Few men have stancher or more devoted ones,and one of the best of them, Capt. Gus Tuthiil, will start for the South ina few days to take charge of the Nonpareil’s interests, especially his financial ones, in his rapidly approaching match with Bob Fitzsimmons before the Olympic Club of New Orleans. Jack’s friends fear some trick - ery on the part of Jimmy Carro)l, and to frustrate it they intend to see that he and his principal, Fitzsimmons, live up to the strict letter of te articleso agreement..Jere Dunn says that Carroll ‘‘isas full of White- chapel cunning as an eggis of meat, and the only way to circumvent him isto think of all the tricks capable of being practiced under the circumstances and be ready with the means of checkmating and preventing their execution.’’ Tuthill says: ‘*The match is made, the men to fight at 154 pounds, to weigh five minutes before entering the ring, and the,man above weight to forfeit $1,000. I donot intend to be content with any forfeit, however. If Fitzsim- mons weighs in but six ounces heavierthan he should be I shall not only exact the forfeit, but I shail insist that he’shall work off his overweight before he goesintothe ring. He mustdo this or there will be no fight. He has the natural advantages of height and reach over Dempsey, and the agreed upon one of big gloves. He shall not have an ounce of weight. What would the Southern people think if two men were to agree to fight a duel with raplers, and one of the men should, at the time of meeting, ask to be permitted to fight with a § sabre? Jack’s best weight is 147 pounds, and it is not probable that he will be any heavier when he steps onthe scales at the ringside. In the olden days he would be thought foolhardy to ive half a stone in weight, but thatis what e is doing in'this match, and I don’t intend that he shall give any more. If Fitz- simmons comes to the scales any heav- ler than he should it will mean either that he could not get to weight or that he is willing to forfeit $1,000 in the hope that Dempsey can be bluffed or jollied into letting it go, andthus give himits advantage in the fight. He has had fair warning, and if he goes tothe club-room unpreparedto fight, epg to the articles of agreement, he will be the one who will cause the delay or disappointment. I wantthe people, and es- pecially the people of New Orleans to under- stand this matter thoroughly.’’ Though Capt. Tuthill wisely intends to hold Carroll and Fitzsimmons strictly to the letter of the law, he has full faithin Dempsey’s ability to defeat the Australian, and he will go South with plenty of money to back his opin- ion. If the fight was to.be with skin gloves I think Dempsey’s partisans would be willing to bet5to4on his winning, despite Fitzsim- mons’ height and reach, but it cannot be de- nied that -many of his warmest admirers shake their heads a when they think that the contest will be* with five-ounce gloves. One of them remarked yesterday: **It was the five-ounce gloves that played hob with Jack when he last fought the Ma- rine. Had they worn skin Se Dempsey would have cut him intoribbons, and you never would have heard of any pivot blow, but I don’t like these muffiers.’’ Jack’s friends sincerely hope that whoever is agreed on as referee will be not only an honest and fair man, but one intimately acquainted with the rulesof glove penting, so that his decisions will be just and uniform throughout. Nodoubt the Olympic Club has thought this matter over thoroughly, and that none but a capable man will be selected. The Californians who are to take the fight in will do so under peculiar favorable terms. The cost of the excursion from San Feancisco, including the admission to the fight, will only be $100. There will be a tremendous atten- dance from New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Al- bany, Troy and Philadelphia, but as yet I have heard of no excursion rates, but no doubt the railroads will make one. This is the pleasantest time of the year to visit the Crescent City, and those who take in the fight will do so under the most favorable circum- 5 . | SIDDON AND LEWIS MATCHED. PEORIA, Ill., Jan, 2.—Articles of agreement for a finish fight have been signed by Geo. Siddon of ae and ‘‘Sparrow’’ Lewis of Troy,N. Y. The fight is to be with skin gloves, Queensberry rules and will take place near this city inside of two weeks. Both men have gone intotraining. The fight is to be for $400 a side and gate receipts. Arthur mv ea of Toledo, O., has been selected as referee. THE TURF. The sale of the Belmont horses was unques- tionably a disappointment to the public. The Scott sale, particularly the extravagant sum —$35,000—paid for Bolero, raised expectations toa high pitch, and there were many who thought Potomac would fetch $75,000. They for that the get of Potomac’s sire, 8&t.

Why should it be allowed to affect the value of his horses? Not only isthe old rule an injustice to the owner of the horse, but the public suffers, for a great horse is often kept out of races and grand contests of speed, endurance and cour- age are thereby revented. r. Belmont’s horses were cheap, but they were not sacrificed. .When yearlings sell for $4,000 and $5,000 and $6,000 it is idle totalk about sacrifices. We are constantly being told of big prices paid in —e for thor- oughbreds. Butit is not added that these thoroughbreds are the phenomenal peformers or ucers of the decade. ‘ e prices paidat Tattersall’s great New- phenomenally Taree. Osberga, by Sterling, covered by Merry Hampton, was purchased for 860 guineas; Dart, by Thunderbolt, for 860 guineas; Pinbasket, by Hampton, for 1,250, guimeas; Mme. du Barry, for 900 guineas; her companion, Porcelain, for 800 guineas; the then 38-year-old Mercy, for 1,300 guineas, and Ringlet for 620 guineas. At the resent standa of prices inthis country hese mares would be considered bargains. At a recent sale at Newmarket Lady Castle- reage sold for 1,200 guineas and her colt foal by Tertius for 400 guineas; Bright Star, an Adventurer mare, went for 500 guineas; Maude obtained the same price, and Forager colt, Young Hermit, was bought for 1,050 ee: When it is remembered that the elmont stable was sold at a place forty miles from New York, not easy of access, and that the sale occurred at atime when the money market was closer than it has been for years, the prices obtained will not appear so remarkably small. GUTTENBURG’S NOVEL RACE. NEW YoOrK, Jan. 2,—The feature of the races at Guttenburg yesterday was the Inno- vation Stakes for 2-year-olds at three fur- longs.

The New York A.C.has now two very strong watér polo teams. -Since the Mercury foot men took up this exhilerating pastime, which is simply foot ball in the watef, many other clubs fave formed teams, and the indications are it will be a recognized sport hereafter. The Manhattan A. ©. has a good team and it is likely several matches will be played this season. The accepted rules of the game, as recently prepared by Capt. Wells of the New York A. C. are as follows: . Rule 1.—The ball to be an association foot ball (No. 8 not less than eight and not more than nine inches in diameter.

ZIMMERMAN REINSTATED. Chairman Davol of the League of American Wheelmen’s racing board has, after a thor- ough investigation into the record of Arthur A. Zimmermen of the New Jersey Athletic Club, from which he was suspended with Willie W. Windle, charged with receiving his training expenses while at Peoria, has con- cluded that he was, at least, alittle hasty in his suspension of Zimmerman and. has rein- stated him. The reinstatement of the New Jersey rider has set the other men wondering whether any more will be taken back into the fold. From conversations with promi- nent bicycle men it would appear that the hopes thatyghave ‘been raised by the men charged with like offenses need not be raised by this one reinstatement, as they will not be dealt with as leniently as Zimmerman. Mr. Davol informed a New York Sun reporter that he was certain, after communicating with Secretary Sullivan ofthe Amateur Athletic Union, who isa memberof the New Jersey Athletic Club, that the latter club had not paid any of Zimmerman’s expenses while training. Theconnection of his name with the selling of the Washington race was en- tirely unauthorized by the Jersey rider, as he was entirely ignorant, much less guilty of acceding to a request to _ sell the race. The reinstatement of Zimmer- man was not caused by the prominent athletic people, as Many may imagine; the eel- men’s Racing Board found that their charges against this man werea Dit premature, and so rescinded them. There are strong proba- bilities thata few more men may be rein- stated, buts« large number will receive the full penalty. | Zimmerman, who is a very popular member of the Jersey Athietic Club, as well as amon the wheelmen, was overjoyed at the news oT | his reinstatement. Thereis every indication that at the meeting of the committees of the L. A. We A. A. W. and N. A. F.A.O. to- morrow that an agreement will be arrived at that will sg? tee any possibilities of a clash between the A. A. ane L. A. W., despite the prospects of such at the outset of the sus- pensions. | AN INTERNATIONAL YAOHT RACE. Lieut. William Henn of the Royal Navy and his wife arived in New York. Tuesday on the Umbria. His arrival was not a surprise, owing to the announcement of his coming in Sunday’s WORLD, and he was welcomed by a number of the warm friends he made among yachtsmen here when he raced his Galatea against the Mayflower in 1886. He was driven to the Victoria Hotel and later in the after- any drop in at the New York Yacht ub. -: Lieut. Henn is the bearer of very patenaiey 5 Oo news to yachtsmen, inasmuch as he ho be the means of arran an international yacht race for next fall. h once ifthe only objectionable clause in the challenge,*’ said Lieut. Henn, ‘‘but Lcan not tell you who the challenger. will be. do so, butas longas the dimension clause— the clause which asks usto give length and beam—stands, we will*never have another e enforcing of the dimension clause is just like asking a man to show his hand at cards. | less the dimension ciause is waived by mutual Challenge Cup, which was put up with the = deed of gift of the America Cup, that as to measurement, is removed. The clause is too binding and confines the yacht designers to too narrow lines. **T hope very much to be able to arrange a ! lam em- powered to arrange a race ifit is possible to race. All we askisa fair arrangement. Th Un- agreement before a challenge is sent, all En- glish yachtsmen will consider an interna- tional race out of the range of possibilities, unless American yachtsmen come over and race for the Royal Victoria sole hope that it might be the means of con- tinuing international races simply to keep up the sport. If anagreement is/arrived at we will build a big boat pretty near to the limit. A small boat would not have a chance against the Volunteer. You will defend your cup with your fastest yacht. I should be sorry to seea race witha second-class vessel. We all want arace. It seems to be the idea here that the ‘mutual consent’ clause ought to overcome the difficulty, but it doesnot. I think thata majority of the yachtsmen here desire the abundonment of the ‘dimension’ clause. I have not yet had a chance to see many of the members of the New York Yacht Club, but I will in a few days and have a quiet talk over the matter.’’ Lieut. Henn said that he believed the Earl of Dunraven’s Valkyrie to be the equal of any 70-foot yacht in this country, but still she was no match forthe ‘Volunteer. The idea that cutting away her forefoot interfered with her speed on the wind was unfounded, as all the newest Watson models have very much less forefoot than the Thistle. The center-board experiment had not been fully carried out in England, and the Iverna, as deep as the Gala- tea, had only a baby center-board, which did her more harmthan good. English racing, as far asthe large boats are concerned, is suffering froma lack of stimulant just as it suffered here last summer. Unless an ifiter- national race is arranged Iverna will be the only large yacht in the rg next season. Lieut. Henn is going to Florida with Mrs. Henn on a hunting and fishing expedition. He has a 30-foot yachtat Jacksonville which he had built the last time he was here. He will probably go South Monday, DONOGHUE OUTSKATES FREDEKSEN, A letter received at Newburg, N. Y., from Joe Donoghue gives account of his race with Fredeksen, the famous Norwegian skater, of which no account has yet been ublished. A race for five miles was made tween .Joe and Fredeksen, in res the former’s challenge to aay — | Nor- way or Sweden, and came offat Christiana on Dec. 12, before an immense crowd of ple. It was over a GUGIbr-mnibe course, both start- ing at opposite points of the ellipse, or 220 yards apart. At the end of the second mile Joe was at the side of his competitor and, passing him, won by 18 seconds. Joe’s time was 16m. 283-5s. Fredeksen was thought to be one of the best men on steel to be found in that section of Europe, having a record of 9m. 19s. for three miles 188 yards. ss Crushed by an Engine. .
