SPRINGFIELD, Ill,, Jan. 10.~—The Democratic ranks show no signs of wavering. ISis Pal- mer or nobody. The General is keeping open house at the St. Nicholas, and every. Demo- cratic memner has paid him a visit. Mr. Palmer is looking exceedingly well, his cheeks rosy and his step buoyant. In the Republican camp an entirely different state of affair exists, The majority is divided into factions. Some want to hold @ caucus, others do not, but the Farwell men arein the majority and favorit. Altogether the fight as it stands gives hope tothe Democrats. The hotels are all crowded with politicians from all parts from the State, and the contest is the leading topic in the city. JONES’ RESOLUTION, Representative Jones’. concurrent resolu- tion concerning the yote for United States Senator provides for separate ballots on the 28th inst., and for the meeting in joint assem- bly on the day following to compare this vote, in order to ascertain whether any single can- didate had received the majority of the votes of each house, and that in case it is found that no candidate had received a majority in both houses, the joint assembly to ballot cot- lectively until the United States Senator shall be elected. The House members whose seats are con- tested are May of Chicago, Hamilton of Watseka, Dawkins of Braceville, Collins of Rhode Island, who has resigned, and whose successor was elected through an illegal call issued by the Governor; Gehr of Peoria, Chandler of Macomb, Graham of Uamieron, McCrone of Quincy,and E. L. Merritt of Sang- amon County. It so happens that there are three Democrats in this list, and five Repub- licans, and while the Democratic leaders are going to proceed cautiously, they will act decisively. . THE BIG THREE. The Republicans profess confidence in their ability to keep the three farmers away from Gen, Palmer and all their efforts are being directed to this end. ‘‘Long’’ Jones is: operating through Ethelbert Callahan. The trio, however, are absolutely independent just now, and Cicero Lindley has no idea what two Of them willdo. When Dr. Moore’s name was called to-day by Olerk Hinrichsen, who was drawing the seats, he walked down the centerisle and located himself on the Republican side al- though Capt. Fa: >» had previously tendered him. the privilege of choos- ing any chair on the Democratic side. Messrs. Cockrelland Taubeneck are along- side Moore, and they all assert that there is no significance in their action. Dr. Moore says he went onthe Republican side yester- day by accident. Hedidnot knofy for a while whether his seat-mates were Republicans or Democrats. Cockrell thought of the seat’ be- fore he went to the State-house, and did not see what difference it made. Tauberieck avers that his only desire wasto be with his col- leagues, but one of the Republican | rs is authority for the stat that he. never act with the Democrats, ‘‘simply because he expressed his disapproval of Temporary Speaker Ramsy’s course, and stated that he had had enough of the Democrats.’’ FIFER AND PAVEY. The strained relations which have for some time existed between the Fifer and Pavey wings of the Republican party have been brought toa high tension by a paragraph in the Governor’s message. In that document the Governor made this referencé to the Au- ditor: ‘‘Various and responsible duties have from time to time been cast by law upon the Auditor of Public Accounts, duties that do not, it would seem, properly belong to this office. In addition to his ordinary duties as Auditor, this officer is required to .look after that large and ever-increasing insurance business ofthe State, also the inspection of banks incorporated under our State law. Thus three officers have, in @ffect, been combined in one, That a proper dis- charge of the duties of Bank Inspector and Commissioner of Insurance requires some special training or qualifications, will be con- ceded by all who are in any way familiar with these subjects. Many of the States have sep- arated these offices, and I recommend that a similar law be enacted by the present Gen- eral Assembly, providing the election or ap- pointment of a commissioner of insurance and bank inspector, and that such officer be required to perform allthe duties that are now required of the Auditor respecting the insurance business of the State and the In- spector of Banks. I think it will be found that the fees earned by the office will make it self-sustaining, not only defraying the ex- penses for conducting the office, but will also pay the salary of the incumbent. Recent de- velopments inthe State prove the necessity for such an officer.’’ Should this new official be appointed it will not only cut off a large slice of the Audi- tor’s salary, but the appointee will of course be another henchman added to the Gover- nor’s list. The fight promises now to be an open one, and other developments are sure to follow. COMPULSORY EDUCATION. There was no session of either House of the General Assembly to-day, both having ad- journed until Monday. Mr. Newell yesterday introduced a bill to amend the compulsory education act, as follows: Sec. 1. Be it enacted hy the people of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly, that every person having under his control-any child be- tween the ages of 7 yearsand 14 years shall cause such child to attend, for at least sixteen weeks in each and every year, some public or private day school. Provided, however, that this act shail not apply to any child that has otherwise been instructed fora like period of time in the branches commonly taught in the public schools, or that such child has already ac- quired the brapches of learning commonly taughs in the public schools,or whose mental or physical condi- tion, as declared by some reputable physician is such as to render his or her attend ance at school inexpedient, impracticable or un- necessary. Eyery person who shall yiolate the provisiens of this: section of this act shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined in any sum not. than $3 nor more than $20 for each aud every of- fense. The remainder of the na provides for the appointment by the of Education in every city and district of oneor more per- sons to be designated as truant of ’ whose duty it shall be to make iato all supposed violations of the act. A Water Famine. December the precipitation was but five | hundredths ofan inch. For several weeks the Illinois Central Railroad has been having trouble in supplying its locomotives with wa- ee between this city and Centralia, many of e tanks on the Champaign Central division being dry. Personal Points From Jerseyville. JERSEYVILLE, Ill., Jan. 10..-Miés Lutie Brown and sister, Mrs. Sabin, are visiting relatives here. Judge Thornton Ware and wife of Ft. Scott, Kan., have been the guests of Mr, and Mrs. O. A. Snedeker the past week. Miss Grace McWilliams of Litchfield is visit- ing Miss Flori Daniels inthis city. Miss Efe Du Hadway is home from Wichita, Kan., where she has been visiting. Mrs. Charles Sullard of Chicago was visiting here last week. Robert Martin is in Chicagothis week. Hon. O. B. Hamilton and wife have returned from Chicago, where they visited their daughter recently. Mrs. Herbert Stelle is home from her trip to Colorado. Miss Winnie visited in Jackson- Ville last week. Miss Elise Neil, a charming little lady of Jacksonville, has been spending a few days with friends in this city, returned Monday night, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Nick Egelhoff. Judge J. 8. Carr is in Spring- field this week. Judge P. D. Cheney and son Al have gone to Arkansas to kill ‘‘bar’’ for a few days. M. A. Warren was in St. Louis Monday buying goods. Sleighing is quite good here now, but the prospects are that the snow will not stay with us long. The Lake Front Question. * CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 10.—A motion to aban- don the Lake front as part of the site for the World’s Fair was made at a meetingof the local directors last night. The vexatious de- lays caused by the conflic@ing interests to be affected by a final settlement was the reason advanced for the action. On the suggestion of Potter Palmera vote on the motion was postponed till Tuesday, pending a final effort for harmony. Should the Lake front be abandoned, the buildings intended for that a will probably be placed in Jackson Heavy Fall of Snow. MONTICELLO, Ill., Jan. 10\—The heaviest snow storm ofthe season has been raging for the last twenty-four hours and the fall of snow throughout Central Illinois will be the largest for years. Thé wheat will be greatly benefited. Telegrams show thatthe storm was gene- ral throughout a large portionof the State and that the benefit will be Wapengpens.. THE SUGAR TRUST. Order for Appointment of a Receiver Va- cated. NEw YORK, Jan. 10.—The Sugar Trust case came up again in the King’s County Supreme Court before Judge Pratt. A motion was made to have the Central Trust Co. of New York made a party defendant in the suits of Henry O. Havemyer against the Brooklyn Sugar Refining Co., and in the suit of Duncan Cameron against Henry O. Havemyer. The Judge granted an order thaton the consent of all the attorneys and 9% per cent of the stock and certificate holders, the Central Trust Co. be made defendant, in- terlocutory judgment of Nov. 1, 18%, be vacated, that the order for the appoint- ment of the receivers be vacated, and that the receivers return to the plaintiff in the first entitled action the property received by them on condition that simultaneously with such releases there he deposited with said company, an agreement or indemnity executed tothat company forall parties, to be signed by somany of the plaintiffs in the first entitled action as shall justify in at least $1,000,000. 7 WORCESTER, Mass., Jan. 10.—The Wash- burn & Moen Co. say with reference to the Chicago dispatch of yesterday In regard to a barbed wire trust: Some of our licensees have been strongly inclined to an arrangement under which could control, our patents reference toparbed wire and the meeting in Chicago referred to was undoubtedly for the purpose of consulting upon the best means of accom plishi that end. We don’t un- derstand at the arrangement im- plies that we are to be assool- ated with them nor that they contemplate a substantial advance in the price of barbed wire. In our judgment, if what they have attempted is accomplished, it will tend to steady the market for «this particular article so that deaters and consumers will feel that there is less risk investing their money in it and car- rying it in stock like other staple goods, whieh they lately have not felt like doing, in view of the constant liability of change in the prices put upon this article. BERTHA NEFF’S ESCAPADE. The Foolish Girl Home Again and the - Letter Carrier Also Returned. Late yesterday afternoon Mr. Chris Neff, the propietor of Neff’s Grove, onthe Belle- fontaine road, received atelephone message that his daughter, Miss Bertha, who sudden- ly and without explanation had left her home on New Year’s Eve, wasat the home of her married sister, Mrs. Charles Gregory, on Pine street. A brother, Charles, called and found hef there. After a promise of forgiveness from her parents, she returned home, arriving there in time to fake supper with the family last night. Mr. Neff was notat home this morn- ing when a Post -DIsPATCH reporter called to see him, but s down town, his son said, to do what he could to prevent the reinstate- ment of the letter-carrier, J. Ben Nichols, who is charged with having elopea with his daughter. Miss Bertha could not be seen, she was sleeping and feeling-rather unwell, but a younger brother volunteered to say that the girl had tearfully re- pented of her escapade, had asked the forgiveness of her family and after that being granted said that she was not to blame for thre act, for she had been led and coaxed into it by Mr. Nichols. She said thaton the night of her Wisappearance she had been. driven off in a buggy by Mr Nichols, but she would say nothing more to her family, the young man said. Mr. Nichols, who has been in Chicago, re- turned this morning to his home in North 8t. Louis, and denies in full the elopement, and says that he has not seen Miss Neff since she left the city so mysteriously.. Will Hold Their Franchise. TOLEDO, Jan. 10.—That the Toledo Club In- tends to remain in the American Association and not be euchred out of her franchise is shown by the fact that Hon, Frank Hurd has been retained by President {Ketcham to rep- resent the club at the New York meeting next week. — ‘ Fatal Conflict at Biloxi, Miss.

RUSHVILLE, Neb., Jan. 10.—The crisis has been reached and a general battle is looked for to-morrow, and the circumstances are forcing a conclusion upon the hostiles and parieying will not be longer continued by - either side. The Indians said yesterday that Gen. Miles must prepare to fight or get off the reservation. Gen.

It is , Believed here that if Gen. Miles had his way *he would have notified the Indians long ago, ashehas done now, that they must come in by a certain time and surrender or be annihilated and this course has re- ceived universal approbation, The delay has made every one feel as if he was on the eve of a battle, and the consequence is that settlers have sacrificed the work of years to take their families to places of safety. : : ° DESERTED HOMES. | The F.E.& M. V. train which went east last night had one coach in which there were thirty mothers with babes in arms, besides other children. Deserted ranches are pillaged by bad characters, who are plentiful, and those who have left their ranches ‘will find little at home when ' ‘they return. The Indian ranches which have ‘been left by those who have joined the _ hostiles will not escape. Though this isa ‘country where experience farmers can- not raise a crop, the Indians have been supplied with plows, harrows, reap- ers and splendid agricultural machines which are standing idle on the ranches where the plow has never brokena sod. The grangers are talking of excursions irfto the reservation to bring out these machines, and some white men, at least, will be well sup- plied next spring with useful implements which the Indians do not use. ’ The main hope here is based on the change -'@fthe positions of the two armies, which has occurred during the last three weeks. Uptothattimethe Indians were masters of the situation. They could have made @ successful outbreak in any di- rection, but they have held back long enough to enable Miles to place troops around them. This givesthe militia the mastery. The settlers feel, however,that the soldiers must be defeated before they will ‘be in danger, and that they will have suffici- ent notice to getaway. Still, many are leay- ing, expecting a general battle to-morrow. Buffaio Bill telegraphs‘ from Pine Ridge agency to Gen. Colby, commanding the State troops, that Gen. Miles approves the dis-- position of the militia. Buffalo Bill adds, **the ball will certainly open before the end of this week.’* Soa battle may be expected by to-morrow night. D. H. ROBERT. ALONG THE LINES. - PINE RIDGE, Jan. 10.—The hostiles burned Several cabins four miles from the agency “yesterday morning. Three columns of dense smoke were seen inthe north. It is said that Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horse’s cabin was amongthose burned. The hostiles have also killed many cattle. Government scouts re- port that the Indians are without ahead and that in their frenzy they are destroying their own property and beating their own people. They are allin war paint. Hostile scouts can be seen in the distance througha powerful . glass. Mounted infantry were posted to-day behind fhe earthworks on the Butte surrounding the agency. Two hostile shots were fired from the ridge early yesterday. morning, Capt. Taylor, Chief of Scouts, received to-day letters from Short Bull and Kicking Bear, Chief ofthe hostile Brules, saying that all the hostiles would surrender at the agency to-morrow with all their people. But these letters mean nothing, for the Indians change their mind§ as often as they makethem up.. The desire of the hostiles to come in, if they have ex- pressed any such desize, is doubtless prompted by the approach of troops. Soldiers ‘are slowly pressing against the big village. The troopers are closer together than they have been, and the concentration will be still more complete this evening. Scouts report _that the soldiers are so close tothe hostiles that skirmishes are frequent day and night. The assassination of Lieut. Casey by & son-in-law of Old Corn, one of the sur- vivors of Big Foot’s band, causeda panic in the village of the hostiles which has not yet quelled. The Ogallalas, who stampeded from here on learning of the battle on Wounded Knee Creek, are anxious to come - back, but most of them are held . prisoners by the hostiles from Stgnding Rock, Rosebud’ and ,Cheyenne River. Despite surveilence, however, some of them have slipfed atway and have come into the agency. They made their escapeinthe night and hid by day in ; the pockets of the hills. Red Cloud and young Jack Red Cloud have surrendered. They were accompanied by about seventy-five of their people, chiefly squaws and papooses. The refugees are’ in a pitiable condition. Fourteen squaws and papooses came over the hilis this morning. They were leading two jaded ponies heavily loadéd with camp equip- ments. Some of the children were so fatigued with their long tramp through the snow that they could hardly “walk. There was not a buck in the partys In the night other Ogalia- ias slipped int take friendly camp. They said on the way. These refugees incamp here before since the , 80 their coming has no special .

The correspondent had an interview with old Red Cloud and his son Jack. Red Cloud Says thatthe Ogallalas who were in camp here when the firing on the agency began rose like birds and fled in fright, not. in defi- ance of the Government. They went with the Brules, and when Red Cloud begged the Ogal- lalas to return they consented, but the Brules held them prisoners. On Wednesday, when Lieut. Casey was killed, Red Cloud says he did everything in his power to save the officer. Young Jack says he fired five shots at the murderers after the assasination. Later in the day Red Cloud was told of the plot to kilihim. Hisfamily atonce made prepara- tions to get the old man out of the village. His son Jack smuggied him out of the camp and then his daughter took him by the hand ‘and led him on foot through the snow over _ ‘@ighteen miles of wretched country to the ye | .

Pine Ridge is very likely to be the theater of the final ight of the savages, for this is the funnel through which they mustrunif they stampede,as well as the place where their disarmament will take place. When young Red Cloud came into the agency yesterday he brought with him one of Lieut, Casey’s revolvers. The other had been stolen. Lieut. Casey’s watch and a portion of his uniform were alsotaken by the mur- derers. The body has been sent to Rhode Island for burial. ¥ * @rouble at Other Points. Boise Cirr, Idaho, Jan. 10.—Last evening Goy. Willey received a dispatch from 100 men at Spokane Falls offering to place themselves under his direction and come at once to the defense of his people of Idaho, if transporta- tion would be furnished. In reply the Gov- ernor telegraphed his thanks, with a state- ment that there was no immediate necessity for their help. Aletter fromthe Postmaster and the business men of Challis, Idaho, re- ceived here last night, says the Indians on the Lemhi reservation are dancing and that oe is feared in Custer and ‘Lemhi unties. There are about seven hundred Indians on that reservation and they are well armed. The citizens of Challis askthat guns and ammunition be shipped tothem and the Governor will probably comply with their request. An outbreak is not anticipated be- fore spring, but the policy of furnishing the settlers with means of defense will be fol- lowed. NO OUTBREAK AT FORT HALL. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—The following tele- grams were received from Gen. Gibbon, com- manding the Department of Oalifornia: ‘‘Following just received from Commanding Officer, Boise Barracks (Idaho): ‘Ihave just received reliable information that there is no outbreak of the Fort Hall Indians, and donot apprehend any trouble, There it was told by a party whocame from Pocatello yesterday thatthe rumor was started by saloon-Keep- ers,’’ . Another telegram from Gen. Gibbon, also dated yesterday, says: ‘‘The following just received from commanding officer at Boise Barracks: ‘State Adjutant General Cur tis wires Governor from Pocatello as fol- lows: Fears of Indian outbreak greatly ex- aggerated and without just foundation, First reports sent by irresponsible parties. Goto Blackfoot to confer to-day and to agency to- morrow.’ ’’ IN WASHINGTON. VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash., Jan. 10.—Six companies of United States troops have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to move to the scene of the Indian troubles at an hour’s notice. The order is presumably given owing to the reported trouble in Idaho, DANCING AT FISH LAKE, GRAND FORKS, N. D., Jan. 10.—W. 8. Ward, who arrived in this city last night from Bor- den County, reports that over 250 Indians, supposed to be from Oak Lake Reservation, have commenced dancing at the head of Fish Lake in the Turtie Mountains. AN UPRISING AT BOTTINEAUD. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 10.—A special to the Journal from Bismarck, N.D., says that Gov. Burke has received a telegram for aid from Bottineau, N. D., an Indian uprising being on the tapis. The Governor has senta special agent to investigate and has promised help if necessary. Col. Forsythe Exonerated. CuicaGco, Il., Jan, 10.—A special from Pine be cleared. Upon that point there is little doubt. The Investigating Commiitee has completed its work, and whileits members have as yet made no report, it is thoroughly understood that the Colonel will be exoner- ated. The testimony of the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Cavalry leaves no other course open. Inquiry shows conclusively that no soldiers were killed by the fire of another, The charges that this was done formed the nub of the complaint that troops were im- properly placed. It seems to be the impres- sion among all army officers that Col. For- sythe did wonders of organization in the midst of a great confusion. , The testimony of Capt. Nolan and Lieug. Nicholson went to show that the men while firing continually called to one another, say- ing: ‘*‘Don’t shoot in that direction, there are women,’’ Non-commissioned officers swore to the same thing, and it was shown conclusively that the sexof the enemy,‘was known ac- curately and the fire of the troops was di- rected accordingly. Total Indign Population. WASHINGTON, D.C©., Jan. 10.—The Indian Census Bureau’s, Vulletin as to the Indian pop- ulation of the United States, exclusive of Alaska, show’ the total Indian population to be 244,704, made up as follows: On reserva- tions orat schools under cortrol of the In- dian Office, not taxed, 19,254.

There are also about 14,247 colored people (mixed Indian blood) living with and members of the’ above tribes. Thetotal population of the five civ- llized tribes is, therefore, 64,871. Pueblos of New Mexico, 8,278; Six Nations and St. Regis of New York, 5,304; Eastern Cherokees of North Carolina, 2,885; Indians (98 per cent of whom are not on reservations), taxed and self-sustaining citizens, countefiin general population, 32,567; Apaches at Mount Vernon Barracks (prisoners), 384; Indians in State or Territorial prisons, 184. Total, 114,475. The bulletin further shows: Total males taxed and untaxed, 80,715; total males un- taxedand on reservations, 63,770; total fe- males taxed and uhtaxed, 82,106; total females untaxed and on reservations, 66,484; ration Indians on reservations to whom rations are issued by . the United States, 32,210; self-supporting Indians on reservation, by farming, herding, root-dig- ging and horse-raising, fishing and hunting, 96,044; total self-supporting Indians (32,567 taxed and not included—the five civiliged tribes), 128,611. The number of whites on the several reservations inthe Indian Territory aggregate 107,987, as follows: In the Cherokee Nation, 27,176; in Chickasaw Nation, 49,444; in Choctaw Nation, 27,991; in Seminole Nation, 96; in Creek Nation, 3,281. This makes the total population of the country,’ including Alaska, estimated at 37,000, almost 68,000,00u. Do You Cough? Take Kemp’s Balsam, the best cough cure. Sample bottles free ‘of any druggist.

LEBANON, Pa., Jan. 10.—The temporary de- pot of the Philadelphia & Reading Rallroad at Annville was entered by robbers last night. ‘They entered with drawn revolvers, covering both the telegraph operators and demanding that they hand over the moneyin the safe. One of the operators succeeded in gaining the door and was fired after by the robbers without being hurt. The noise led to the robbers’ hasty retreat. They secured only $8. This depot has been the sub- ject of a dozen attacks by robbers and incen- diaries within the last few years. Several weeks ago the depot proper was burned by incendiaries, $5.75.

The Situation in Nebraska. LINCOLN, Neb., Jan 10.—The situation Is unique. The State has two acting Governors, with another man just outside who wants the seat.* Powers hastaken the th of office, but has not yet established himself in the State-house, while Boyd and Thayer are bar- ricaded in private rooms. Adjt.-Gen. Cole refused to obey Gov. Boyd and the office was immediately declared vacant. Gen. Victor Vifguain was immediately appointed to the vacancy. This leaves the militia on the frontier with two commanders, one of which they must disobey. The Supreme Court will not decide the case before next Monday. Thayer has@ssued the following: To Whom It May Concern: My position is exactly this: There is a general con- viction that Mr. Boydis not a citizen of this State, that although he has lived here for many years, he owes gllegiance toaforeign power. I desire this matter to be tested before the Supreme Court, for it is a/judicial question. Ifheisacitizen it is a very éasy matter for him to proye the fact. Ifhe is nota citizen, that fact should be established. Art. 5, sec. 2 of the State Constitution of Nebraska is in the fol- lowing words: ‘*Persons Ineligible—No person shall be eligible to the office of Governor or Lieutenant- Governor who shall not have attained the age of 30 years and been fortwo years next preceding his eléction a citizen ofthe United States and of this State.’’ Language cannot make this provision any stronger. Ihave sworn to support the Constitution, and it is my duty to prevent, as far as itisin my power, a person who owes allegiance to a foreign Government becoming Governor of Nebraska. If the proper tri- bunal should decide after investigation that Mr. Boydis eligible tothe position I will immediately transfer the office to him. I am advised by high legal authority that itismy duty to defend the Constitu- tion. JOHN M. THAYER. Gov. Boyd says that heis acitizenof the United States, has been elected and qualified to the office and intends to hold it. All parties are determined to at least try and hold the position. THAYER LOSING GROUND. This morning when Gen. Viviquain, the Adjutant-General, arrived at the capitol he found Capt. Rhodyin command of twenty- five militiamen at ex-Gov. Thayer’s room. He ordered the Captain to go with him to Gov. Boyda’s room, The Captain obeyed orders and arriving there saluted Gov. Boyd as Comfmander-in-Chief, and awaited orders. Inafew moments Gen. Viviquain gave himan order to repair with his command to the companies’ barracks and await orders. With this command in his hand he went with the General to Thay- er’s room, and, ordering the company to fall in, gave the orders, ‘‘Reverse arms, forward march.’’ Thayer entreated him toallow the militia toremain, but, saluting him, Capt. Rhody said: ‘‘I salute you forthe lasttime. I rec- ognize the authority of the Commander-in- Chief, Gov, Boyd.’’. And the company slowly marched from the State-house to their bar- racks. The next move will be to forcibly eject Thayer from his. present room if he still persists in imagining himself Governor. A New Senatorial Candidate. BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 10.—Hon. Smith Stimmell of Cass isin the race for Senator, with twenty-three votes pledged to his sup- port. The opposition claims that he is backed by the Milwaukee Road.

DENVER, Col., Jan. 10.¢-There wasn ex: citing time in the Lower House of the Legisia- ture yesterday. There are two factions in the Legislature, one led by J. J. -Eddy and the other by J. 8. Brown. The Brown crowd numbered fourteen, and by Democratic members secured a working ma- jority. When the newly elected Speaker Hanna attempted to announce his standing committees the Brown-Democratic faction blocked legislation, and the result was that nothing could be accomplished. Several at- tempts to adjourn were voted down by that clique. Brown was ordered under arrest for interrupting the Speaker. The Sergeant- at-Arms started to arrest Brown, when four deputy sheriffs sprang into the alsle and de- fied the Sergeant-at-Arms to do so, A scene of the wildest confusion and uproar prevailed, Quiet was finally restored but the deadlock continued until midnight when the Brown- Democratic wing, numbering twenty-eight members, walked out and organized @nother lower house all by themselves. This will complicate legislation this winter. Speaker Hanna is firm and has employed fifteen As- sistant Sergeants-at-Arms. Mississippi Prohibitionists.

Considering the Army Appropriation Bill in the House—The Financial Measure— A Postal Scheme— Senator Brice’s Headquarters—Washington News, WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 10.—In the Senate to-day Mr. Sherman reported from the Committee on Foreign Affairs a bill author- izing the issuing of bonds guaranteed by the United States for the building of the Nica- ragua Ship Canal. The bill is accompanied by alongreport. It was placed on the cal- endar. The legislative appropriation bill was laid before the House to-day and placed onthe calendar. The army ajpropriation bill was then taken up in committee’ of the whole. Yesterday’s developments in the. House show but little prospect of any legislation to relieve Southern claimants. The bill for the relief of the Citizens’ Bank of New Or- leans was fought by the Republicans at every step and finally finding themselves un- able to strike out the enacting clause ad- journed. It looks now as though scarcely a single one of the thousand claims from the South would be allowed to pass. A number of tobacco manufacturers have been in the habit of putting in some of their packages slips entitling holder to prizes, Judge Tyner, attorney for the Post-office .department, holds that so far as the mails are concerned, this is an illegal practice, and has served due notice on the offenders. Representative Anderson of Kansas will in- troduce in the House a resolution calling on the Interstate Commerce Commission to in- vestigate and report to Congress any infor- mation it may be able to secure with refer- enceto the Western rafiroad agreement, which is now being formulated in New York City. Canadian Products. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 10.—Secretary Windom said to-day in speaking ofthe system of introducing merchandise from Canada into the United States in sealed railroad cars with: out customs inspection at the frontier: ‘‘The conclusion roached by me ts that the system, as now regulated and practiced, cannot be reconciled with the revenue interest of the Government, and this conclusion is sup- ported by facts collected by agents of the de- partment, showingin a number of specific cases that the merchandise imported in sealed cars never reached its destination. Under the existing laws and regulations United States consular officers in Canada are authorized to seal cars containing mer- chandise destined for the United States. On arriving at the frontier port the car contain- ing such merchandise is exempted from ex- amination, andif the seals are found to be intact the car proceeds to its destination at some interior or seacoast port. The investi- gation discloses the fact that this system is subject to grave abuses, and that the security of the revenue is seriously imperiled. I am dissatisfied with the existing condition of this branch of the business of the Treasury De- partment, and am apprehensive that the revenues have greatly suffered. It is .my purpose to speedily introduce radical changes and improvements in its administration, but Ido not care to state their precise nature at this time.’’ The Financial Bill. WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 10.—Thée House is awakening tothe fact that it is probable that the Senate financial bill will be before them the latter partof next week. The silver men, as is generally expected, are not united on the question, thatis, some of them want the bill to be laid down on those lines entirely while a good many of the Representatives from white metal States the opinion that it strengthened by association the sections popular in the Hast by re- ducing the minimum amount of bonds which must be deposited by national banks to $1,600 and permitting the issue of circulating notes to the full par value of bond deposits. It will also, itis thought, contain a provision for the recoining of trade -dollars. Senator Sherman’s 2 percent bond scheme will not have much show of being incorporated tn the measure. How Speaker Reed stands on the question is a mystery. A prominent Western Republican speaking said that } it would be referred to the Coinage Committee. Four members of that committee are out-and-out free coinage men, who will see that no trickery is carried on in the committee room. If it is nogreported after a reasonable time a motion will be in- troduced for the House to take the bill up for action. The Speaker can bea bad stumbling block, but we are a majority and can put it through sure.’’ Still Opposed to American Pork. WASHINGTON, D.

PARING FOR A STRUGGLE, They Expect the Aid of All Railway Em- ‘ ployes—The Mahoning Valley Furnaces —Proposed Change of Basis in Making the Ironworkers’ Scale. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 10.—For some months past the miners of Pennsylvania have been organizingin anticipation of a general strike. The conditions which have led to this issue are such as will, if ajstrike does take place, create oneof the greatest upheavals in the industrial world the country has ever seen. Numerous conferences have been held by the leaders while a plan of ac- tion for the future hasbeen definitely ar- ranged. John Gregory, a prominent union man of Cresson, Pa., said yesterday: ‘‘ lam sure that the miners will con- tinue the strike now going on at Bens Creek, Callitzin, Port- age, Coal Port and Hastings, and no amount of persuasion or promises of future consideration will make them reconsider their action. They have fully considered what they have done and are determined to end the fight that has been goimy on for years rightnow. The advance demanded by the miners has been refused and we have posi- tive information that the operators have made up their minds to insist upon their re fusal, despite the fact that the operators. have consented to an arbitration meeting. We shall not fight alone in this struggle, for the Brotherhood of Engineers, the Firemen and the Federation of Railroad Employes are in sympathy with us. Toevery trade union in the country and to every assembly of the Knights of Labor a request has gone for aid, which, when the time comes, will be forth- coming.’’ ‘*Do you mean to say that railroad traffic will be compelled to suffer if the miners strike?’’ **] do mean to say that we shall not repeat the mistake made by. the railroad men in their strike on the New York Central last summer.’’ To Change the Basis. PITTSBURG, Pa., Jan. 10.—A committee of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel-workers, to inquire into the advisability of changing the basisof the scale from bar iron to some other grade or quality, met at the association headquarters in this city at 10 o’clock this morning, but no conclusion has yet been reached. Bar iron has been the basis for a good many years, and the question of changing from that specialty to some other form, though formally discussed, has not been acted upon by any convention until last year. Bar iron is not a circumstance in the volume of fron and steel made in other shapes and the basis is not regarded as an average one. Skelp tron is made in quantities and by some is regarded as a fair basis. Sheet iron is another specialty upon which many would like to see the scale based. The committee has been engaged forthe last two or three weeks gathering information on the actual selling price of the various ki of iron and steel and comparison will be made of these figures to-day and it will be ascertained if the present calculation permits of any manipula- tion in favor of the firms. Prices in all branches of the market have been shoved down to almost cost and it is thought by the most conservative members of the association that no advantage would be gained by making the change. The latest market report shows bar iron to be selling at from $27.50 to $28, which is about as healthy condition as th@t product has been in for some time, while the market for manu- } factured fron is in an uneasy state; the price of steel billets is the lowest on record at pres- ent aud the steel rail business is in an unsat- isfactory condition. There has been no im- provement in the pig-iron market, while the 5 et iron and steel market is simply , 8ome of the men recognize these facts and upon their authority, it is stated, there will be no effort made to secure an increase in wages next year.

The Roof of a Riding School Caves In, Ki)). ing Two Officers and Injuring Six Men- Two Boys Drowned—Over an Embank- ment—Casualties. Roms, Jan. 10.—A dispatch from Regzio. the capital of Reggio Nell Emilelia, a fortined city of North Italy, about fourteen miles from Moden, brings news of a terrible dis aster. It appears that while a number of the officers of the garrison were being exercised in the military riding school, this morning, the roof of the riding school sudden!y crashed in, hurling huge beams of wood and showers of tiles into the arena. When the troops, who were promptly called tothe scene of the disaster, succeeded in removing the debris, it was found that two officers were killed, six were seriously in. jured and ten others were slightly wounded, The accident is supposed to have been caused by the fact that the roof has been subjected to much strain through the recent severe snow-storms, when masses of snow were al. lowed to accumulate over the riding school, Collision of Freight Trains. PQUGHKEFPSIE, N. Y., Jan. 10.—A fast freight train bound south on the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad this morn. ing ran intoa fast stock train also going south.

There has been no settlement yet bety the Consumers’ Coal Co. of this city and men who were formerly employed by them the Ruby Mines, about three miles east yville, Ill., and it is very doub whether there will be any. The compan endeavoring to secure new miners, while men who. are out are doing their best xeep other men from taking their places, this they have been remarkably success as fast as the company gets newr to the mines the discharged employes win new-comers over to their side. They dof py talk, too, and have not been guilty ¢ single overt act as yet. They are makir nard fight, but are using only fair mear accomplish their purpose. Thurs superintendent Evans intended start the mines in_ operation, the Sheriff of St. Clair County was not tt to protect the hands and no attempt made to work. This was quite a dis pointment to the company. Yesterday mea ing the Sheriff was on hand and elevenr from St. Louis went up to go to work. THE MEN DESERTED. The Sheriff and Superintendent E started for the mines with the men. discharged employes, who number si keep themselves scattered along track from the railroad to - mine and talk to all men who arrive to their places. They relate their grievance the newcomers and when they get. thre talking the men generally join them. and nounce that they will not work. No so had the Sheriff and Superintendent started for e mines yesterday with eleven new dsthan the discharged approached the newcomers. afd there were two or three them arguing with each of eleven. One by one the new men were over by the miners and dropped out of jine. By the time the mine was reac Supt. Evans and the Sheriff were the only jJeft in the procession, which left the sta with the unlucky number of thirteen m bers. Of course, no work was done the mines. Supt. Eyans has tft miners there and that is all the comy have left out of ail the men up from this city. This , mo five more were sent up, and Superinten Evans declared before they started out if the quintette remained with him un mines were reached he would begin with them and the other three miners alr there, making eight meninall. He coul¢ about as many more laborers, he tho and do some work to-day in the mines commence taking out coal by Monday, A MINE OPERATOR’S ADVICE. Itis more than likely that within a de two the company may change Its tactics instead of endeavoring ta fill the men’s p will simply shut down the mines and lett remain idle, A number of letters have received by the company from other mine erators and this suggestion was contain one of them. It was from a mine owner is thoroughly in sympathy with the con ny’sstand. He writes that they were in discharging the menand advises ther stick to their stand. He says che men to work for prices every operator in tl trict was paying and thatit was a noto fact known to all that the Consumers’ was paying 7cents per box more than paid anywhere in the district for the size box. He says the discharged men nothing on which to rest their case and I that it would be wrong, under the cl stances, forthe company to givein. Hi vice isto clear every man from the pren and let the mine rest fora time. The of the letter argues that this will give the time to quietly reflect upon the situs and that they will suffer by action. In the meantime public opi would also have time to act. This f owner also makes the point thatto ende to force matters by putting other mer work would be likely to make the miners are out angry and dangerous and might] to the new men being injured. The suggestions contained in the ] were discussed and considered by the off of the company and they all appeared tc gard them with favorandit fs safe to dict that if they are notable to get the hands at work in a day or two they willa the plan of fighting the dissatisfied x They claim to be able to purchase cos cheaply as they can mine it atthe old fig paid their hands.

Chaperons or Not? Mrs. Alexander discusses the question and gives her opinions in to-morrow’s SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH. NEWS FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT. A Suit Behind Which Is a Very Peculiar Story. Henry Stanze, who died June 9, 1890, was thrice married. His first wife hadason by a former marriage, John Meler. This step-son of Mr. Stanze’s is now suing the latter’s widow, Frances Stanze, for the possession of lots 7 and 8, block 7, in Lowell, 14 feet front on Fourth street by 160 feet deep. There is a story in the _ case. Mr. Stanze’s second wife was Louisa Huss- man before their marriage. In 187% he se- cured a divorce from herand was married later to the lady who survived him, The wid- ow’s defense makes the case peculiar. Judge Klein heard it this morningin Division No. 1 of the Circuit Court. She claims that Meier was, beside being Mr. Stanze’s stepson, his intimate and familiar friend. When in 1876 Mr. Stanze had trouble with his wife Louisa Meier advised him to assault her and so furnish her with cause for application for divorce. Previously Mr. Stanze had executed a deed to Meier of his homestead—which is the property in dispute—reserving for him- self and wife (who is erroneously named Elizabeth in the deed) a life estate in the property. Mr. Stanze him- self applied for a divorce and secured it on default. Mrs. Louisa Stanze knew nothing of the deed to Meier, it is claimed, and did not join in it, though she was at the time it was made Mr. Stanze’s wife. Further than that, it is claimed that Mr. Stanze was insane at the time the deed was made, suffered from delusions that his wife was unfaithful, that she was trying - to poison him, etc., and that he was under the undue influence of Mr. Meier. Mr. Stanze being dead and his wife at the time the deed was made being divorced Meier claims the life estates have terminated and wants the property named in tne deed. Mrs. Stanze claims a life estate in the property if the deed is good as the wife of Mr. Stanze and ifitis bad she claims as his widow and for her child. . Court Notes. The German Evangelical Christ Church at Benton Station was givena pro forma decree of incorporation by Judge Klein this morning. Michael Richert, Gustavus A. Will and John Yeiser were the applicants on behalf of the congregation. Franz Denzin wants to be divorced from Rosalie Denzin, towhom he was married in April, 1874, in Lichtenhain, Germany. They lived together until 1878, when he came to this country. She has refused to follow him. The American Wool Co. to-day sued the Minneapolis Mutual Fire Insurance ‘Go. for $2,000 on a policy for fire Insurance, and also sued the Commonwealth Fire Insurance Oo. for $2,000 on a policy. The Metropolitan Real Estate Co, to-day filled articles of incorporation in the office of Recorder of Deeds. The capital stock is $20,000. W.R. Crosswhite holds 100 shares, Frank J. Pricé fifty shares and Wm. N, Terry fifty shares. ? In the case of the State of Missouri at the relation of Henry Ziegenhein, Collector, against the St. Louis & San Francisco Rail- way Co. for back taxes on property east of Ewing avenue, north of the Wabash Railway tracks, Milk Creek Valley, occupied by Biackmer & Post, Judge Klein to-day de- cided in favor of the Collector. The railroad company resisted on various grounds de- pending on the technique of assessment and was beaten on all defenses. Mr: JOHN M. WHITE18 connected with the advertising department of the Post-DIsPaTcH with the special object of writing up the busi- ness interests of St. Louis and vicinity. TROUBLE ON THE NORTH SIDE. Encounter Between a Grocer and a Biddle Market Butter Man. Thomas Cosgrove appeared at the Four Courts this morning and swore out a war- rant charging assault and battery. Oosgrove is the proprietor of a small grocery storeand lives lives on Thirteenth street between Howard and Mullanphy and keeps a butter stall in Biddle Market, More than a year ago Ma- honey was one of Cosgrove’s tenants anda rent dispute caused the former’s arrest for assault. Since that time the men have been on bad terms. Cosgrove claims that Mahoney several times threatened his fe. Me suspected no danger, however, until about 9 o’clock last night, when he } that Mahoney attacked him in the hallway ‘at North Thirteenth street, knocking him by a blow onthe back of the head a blunt instrument. He claims that Ge sailant then put his hand on his hip | Con D. Mahomey with }. The Supreme Council of the St. Louis Legion and amidst the imposing ceremonies and ritual of that order the old officers and ‘Tépresentatives went Out of office and the mew board was formally elected and in- ‘stalled. Peculiar interest was manifested in the affair, owing to the fact that the Supreme ‘Council of 1891 comes to the head of Legion matters at the most critical time yet Known to Legion history, and that their administra- a radical change in the policy that has here- tofore been followed by the order. This, it is ‘expected, will be brought about by the action of the new Supreme Council on the motion introduced by Represent- ative Prentis before the retiring Council, providing for the establishment of a Legion of Honor reserve fund, to be created by extra assessment on the Legion membership. The twenty-four subordinate councils of the order have been voting on the proposition for two months past, and the representatives to the present Supreme Council were elected on the reserve fund issue. It had been stated that at last night’s meeting of the Supreme Council the question would be put to a final vote, and in conse- quence the result was awaited with the most profound interest by the 4,500 members of the order, which is strictly local in nature. FAILED TO TAKE ACTION. No action was taken on the reserve fund roposition, howéver. The reasons given or not considering it are that the busi- ness of electing and instaling new officers consumed the time of the meeting, and that such an important matter, involving as it does a rad- cal change in the constitution of the Legion, should be disposed of at a meeting when no other business could come up. It is said that neither side in the Legion fight over the re- serve fund issue is anxious for the conflict to be brought to a decisive climax, and when Past Supreme Chancellor Frank M,. Estes moved last night that no business be brought before the megting beyond that pertaining to the gular annual business, the motion was understood as a postponement of the vote on the reserve fund proposition, and was carried unanimously. Considerable informal discussion was carried on between the new Representatives as to the fate of the Prentis amenament, anda ‘‘sizing up’’ of the opposing factions was quietly made. It is claimed that the supporters of the re- serve fund proposition have already scored an overwhelming victory in the fight, and that they are sure of the final adoption of the Prentis amendment. The most significant proof of this is said to be the election last night of Mr. Thomas G. Morse as Supreme Chancellor of the Legion forthe ensuing year. Mr. Morse was the first member of the Legion to favor the establisnment of a reserve fund. As far back as 1886 he intro- duced in the Supreme Council an amend- ment to the constitution similar to that now awaiting the action of that body. The amendment was defeated, but Supreme Chancellor Morse has never wavered in his advocacy of the idea and has been one of the strongest partisans in favor of the Prentis amendment. Inadditiontothe significance of his election to the chieftancy of the Legion at “such a critical moment, the _ fre- séryve fund party claims a ma- jority of the present Supreme Coun- cil. The numerical strength of the body is ninety-five, and a two-thirds vote Is necessary to carry any proposition. It Is claimed this morning that there are fifty-two representatives already instructed to vote for the amendment, and that as only a few sub- ordinate councils instructed flatly against it, there is every prospect of winning over the uninstructed delegates to vote for the reserve fund proposition. In consequence of this state of affairs, the Legion fight now shifts from the subordinate councils to the Supreme body, and the liveli- est sortofa campaign will be kept up in the Supreme Council from now on. The next regular session of the body occurs in April next, and unless a special session is called the fight will continue until that time. TWO REMARKABLE FACTIONS. The issue is said to have divided the Legion two remarkable factions, the young men of the order favor- ~the establishment of a reserve fund, and the old men opposing it with all the stubbornness possible. This phase of the fight was first pointed out by Frank M. Estes ina speech delivered before West End Ooun- cil, and provoked a rather pointed charge from Col. Jas. G. Butler in reply, those two Hntlemen having led the reserve fund and the anti-reserve fund factions respectively since the opening of the struggle. Law- yer Estes charged that the old men of the legion opposed the reserve fund propo- sition and the consequent increased assess- ment on no other ground than that they knew the Legion would outlast them in any extremity, and consequently took a selfish view of the question, and declined to favor a } measure which meant an increased tax upon (themselves. He contended that there were 1,000 members of the Legion at present who were 60 years of age and over, and that within the next ten years these 1,000 old men would die at a rate which would threateh the very existence of the order. Mr. Estes classed this ‘‘ol@ guard’’ asthe greatest lia- bility of the Legion of Honor, and said that it meant the carrying of a heavy burden by the younger members, who would naturally stand by the order as long as possible, and who, unless a reserve fund should be estab- shed while the death rate was low, could expensive as todoaway altogether with its desirability. Col. James G. Butler was present at the meeting at which Mr. Estes advanced the borne the heat and burden of the Legion for years, and déprecated the introduction of a dividing line as that which placed the old men on another. Nevertheless, ification is said to hold good, Big Dinners and Balls. Pi | PA ; 4 > . a eS . AS RSE PIR Gx X ay 0 — “A we os a x ste te.

LOUISANS. ‘ What Others Are Saying About Our City, State and People. From the Jefferson City Tribune. se The Chicago JInter- Ocean of recent date con- tains an interesting and graphic account of the late Indian fight at Wounded Knee. Tlie following extract is made from it: **Capt. Charlies B. Ewing, surgeon, is now called the fighting doctor. He was seated in a light wagon on the edge of the circle of bucks when the firing began. The team ran away down to. Louis Mosseau’s store, with bullets whistling around the ears of the occu- pants of the carriage. As soon as possible the Doctor sprang out and hurried up the road in the faceof the withering firing and began his duties with as much nonchalance as if inthe wards ofa hospital. If any one thinks it a small thing to walk 200 yards toward a flerce fire of guns, it and see. *‘Army doctors are to keep to the rear, but when there is any fighting to be done Capt. Ewing is there caring for the wounded and fighting at intervals. ‘*Mr: Welles, the interpreter for Capt. Ta/- lor’s Indian scouts, Was in the midst of the Ducks.

CLIFTON DUMFOUNDED. New YorK, Jan. 10.—The greatest surp of the season at Clifton occurred yesterd when three different horses belonging to D A.

Jim is 37 years ofageandayounger man that his brother -John. He has been playing for nineteen con- secutive years—1872 to 1890, inclusive, but he is a man who has never drank or used tobacco in any form, and no man that ever played ball has varied less in weight for the past fif- teen years. ‘‘I have not varied five pounds inten years,’’ said O’Rourke to me some years ago. ‘‘Il don’t need gymnasium exer- cise during the winterto keep from getting fat, but when I begin to train I go at it witha will.’’ Bob Ferguson was 4 when he quit playing, and An , Start, Nelson, Deacon White, Dickey Pearte and Davy Force have weathered the gale for twenty years or more.

New YORK, Jan. 10.—The break inthe con- solidation deal between the magnates of the- late rival clubs of Brooklyn, which Edward F. Linton made by taking his troubles into court, which he expected would break up the scheme altogether, has proved to be the very means of bringing about the completion of the deal in a more satisfactory manner than has been expected. There is now no longer any doubt as tothe future ofthe National League Club of Brooklyn, and that future will be: First, the location of the club.at Eastern Park this coming season; secondly, the engagement of John M. Ward as manager and captain of the reorganized team; and, thirdly, the making up of a team for Brook- lyn for 1891 which will in every respect be the strongest club the city has ever placed in the field. THE RING. John L. Sullivan isin town, and weak, de- fenseless Women, small boys and light-weight reporters had better look out, says the Mil- waukee Sentinel of yesterday. The great bruiser signalized his entrance into Milwau- kee yesterday afternoon by thumping Edward Dillon, a young newspaper man who was foolish enough to ask the slugger for an inter- view on current topics of interest to the loy- ers of pugilistic literature. Sullivan’s reply to Dillon’s request for an opinion on the com- ing Dempsey -Fitzsimmons battle was a sam- ple of one of those things that have in days} gone by put such men as Paddy Ryan and Jake Kilrain to sleep in the gliades of the Mississippi Valley. Young Mr. Dillon is the sporting editor of the Daily News, and in his capacity as such should have known better than to have walked into the bruiser’s presence without first providing himself with a Springfield rifle anda base ball mask. If he knew anything about sporting matters and sporting men he knew that he was coxing the wrath of a person whose sense of manhood is a quantity yet to be discovered, He knew also that, being small of stature,and in poor and puny health,he would bea special and favored ,.mark for John L’s bunchof ‘*fives’’ so long out of practice. So there is not so much sympathy for Mr. Dillon as there would be had he been a green hand at reper- torial work aud lackingin knowledge of the bruiser with whom he was dealing. The assault occurred in the Plankinton House after the Boston bully had been as- signed toaroom. Dillon was instructed to getatalk with Sullivan ‘‘at all hagards’’ and was advised to provide himself with some implement of defense. ‘*T would like toask you afew questions, Mr. Sullivan,’’ he began timidly. ‘*Fer what?’’ growled the champion of the world. **T’m a reporter—’’ That was all. His bigright hand sped out and caught Dillon on the nose and he went sprawling on the floor. Another reporter who had not heard of Dillon's experience sent his card to Sullivan’s room and asked for a few minutes’ talk, but the pugilist sent back word forthe reporterto take a trip toa warmer climate, with the remark that allthe re porters were —-——-——. PUGILISTIC POINTERS. A large numberof New Yorkers, including Dick Roche, Jimmy Wakely, John Kelly, Frank Stevenson, W. E. Harding and other admirers of the art pugilistic, have left New York for New Orleans to attend the Dempsey- Fitzsimmons fight. They are all backing the **Nonpareil’’ to win. Joe McAuliffe,the big Californian who made such a miserable showing in England before Frank P. Slavin, the Australian, arrived at New York yesterday on the steamship Britannic with his trainer Billy Madden. McAuliffe says he wants to fight Jackson, Kilrain, Corbett, Godfrey or any jother man. He did not mention Sullivan, because he understands the latter has re- tired. Madden says Charley Mitchell is en- ; raged at the talk of Sullivan about their fight in France, and to prove that he did not run away he will fight Sullivan with skin-tight gloves in a 12-foot ring for $12,000 a side. Mad- den says Slavin is anxious to meet either Sul. | livan or Corbett, and will wager $5,000 he can knock out John L. in six rounds.

Even the best intentions often lead to some very curious blunders, and a very pretty example of how easy it is to get things mixed is the action ’ of Mr. Nelson Cole of the Council in the matter of the 8st. Louis & Suburban Ratlroad. This road has demonstrated to the city oO flicials and legislators that its intentions are of the best, so an attempt was made to fix things up nicely for all concerned. Among other. things in the new bill of the company was a provision which read as follows: ‘*And may also construct, maintain and operate a double track passenger railroad on Uniongavenue from the point where the said steam division inter- sects Union avenue southwardly, on, over and along eA Union avenue to a point 300 feet ‘inside of Forest ark. Pe This was afterwards amended and the sen- tence ‘*‘To a point to be selected by the Board of, Public Improvements’’ added. This seemed all rightand when the bill was or- dered to engrossment it was so arranged. Mr. Cole then fixed the clause sothat it read toa **point north of the superintendent’s house.’’ When Park Commissioner Klemm heard this change he objected to it on the ground thata point directly north of the Superintendent’s house was not as good a location as some others that might be selected. The Park Commissioner and the board objected to the location being too specifically stated in the ordinance and felt that they could arrange it all right afterwards. Mr. Cole last night tried to correct his error, but if anything only madeit worse. Instead of taking out the clause about, the Superintendent’s house he had it changéd to **keeper’s’’ house as he heard that there was no such official as Superintendent of Forest Park. The amendment will probably be made when the bill gets to the House of Delegates. The Depot Ordinance Amendments. The Union Depot ordinance went to the Council from the Committee on Union Depot last night with a batch of amendments, most of which are gtrictly proper and are not objected to by any one. The amendment on the Dridge question was rather in the nature ofa surprise. It provides that the Depot company shall spend $200,000 on a bridge at Spruce street. This amendment don’t exactly tally with the plans of the board nor with the recommendations made, as itis a matter of doubt if a bridge can be built at that point for that amount of money. Gongratulations to President Burnet. The members ofthe Board of Public Im- proyements took a sort of unofficial half-hol- iday to-day for the purpose of paying their respects to President Burnet and to celebrate the occasion of his becoming the father of a healthy boy. Each of the members found time during the day to callat Mr. Burnet’s house and take him down the street a block or two onan errand which savored of cloves and lemon peel.

A Prisoner Who Thought Silence Would Serve Him Best. ‘*‘Well, sir, if you can talk and won't, I will send you where you can do very much as you please in that direction. I’ll give you $200 in each case.’’ It was simply a slice of Judge Cady’s justice. William Baffalo was a Scandinavian, yet halfa dozen witnesses testified in the First District Police Court that the man could carry on an English conversation with ease. Baffalo, however, refused to talk. There was no interpreter at hand ard the court resorted toan heroic remedy. In consequence, the stubborn defendant was given the butt end of the ordinance. Baffalo was charged in two counts witn dis- turbing the peace, and he can congratulate himself that be escaped with a Work-house term. Last night he was playing cards for the drinks at the boarding-house kept by John Flanigan at 3745 La Salle street. Luck was not at all in his favor and the frequency with which he lost caused him to suspect that the other members of the party were combined against him. Finally the fel- low became enraged at a particularly bad play on his own part and quit the game. The taunts of his companions added to his indig- nation. Suddenly he drew his knife and be- gan to slash viciously at those who were close athand. He first cut Henry Hayes in the breast andright side. Jeremiah Barry came to Hayes’ assistance and was slashed across the back of the neck. Seeing the pro- prietor, John Flannigan, approaching with 1 upraised chair, the infuriated Scandinavian pulled out a revolver and fired one shot at the man. Before he could.a second time _ pull the trig- ger another of the boarders was behind him with a chair and felled him tothe floor with a fearful blow.

The Bcheme to Abolish the Present System Board Appointed by the Govgmor Dis- approved—A Change Advocated. ‘ A change in the manner of managing the public schools is now being agitated, and it is probable that the near future will bring forth some definite movement towards that end. The agitation is the natural outcome of the recent disgraceful conduct of the board and its manffest incapability to conduct its busi- ness without internecine trouble and public disgust. A great many schemes have been proposed but one which seems to have reached the greatest number is that attributed to Mr. Fielding Mansfield, but of which he stoutly denies the authorship. The scheme which .it is thought will solve the question of amicable School Board meetings will reduce the number from twenty-one to seven. Instead of the present system of electing members, the Governor of the State’ will be empowered under this scheme to select from the flower of the intel- ligent citizens of this city seven men to act as a Board of Control. This board will have the same powers and authority as _ the School Board has. The commis- sioners composing Bnd —" of Control. are to salary and devote all or Dearly All ‘Of their time to the work of managing and keeping up the schools. This of course will necessitate the amendment of several State laws and the city scheme and charter and would place in the hands of the Governor additional oppor- tunities to the many he already has. Several members of the School Board were seen this morning and asked what their opinion was. None of them looked upon it favorably, and President Charles F. Miller was decidedly opposed to it. THEY ARE OPPOSED TO IT. *‘*lTam not at all in favor of any such prop- osition,’’ he said. ‘‘Our school system here is peculiarly local. If children living in our suburbs outside the city limits are taught in our schools they must pay. The schools are for children in the city and the men in charge of the schools should be citizens elected or appointed by some one in the city and not by the Governor. You might as well ask the President of the United States to appoint our School Directors. If appointed by the Governor politics would cut some figure. What is wanted fs a strictly non-partisan and non-sectarian School Board, and there is only one way, in my opimion, that this end can be attained. if the gislature wish or desire or have any intention to reduce the number of members in the School Board and make it less cumbersome, I would suggest this in preference to all other schemes. Let the five judges ofthe Supreme Court bench appoint a board of control. At first appoint five men for one, two, three, four and five years. As these terms expire, ap- point a successor or reappoint the same man to serve for five years. Inthis way the Cireufit Court in general session would appoint one man and as five judges pass upon the names suggested, you may depend upon it, they would select the best man, regardless of his politics, religion, or previous condition of servitude. In this way also there would always be four- fifths of the old board left for the new man to copy after and learn from their experience. Five men could do the work done by the pres- ent board, and with equal ease. I have talked this scheme over to a number of my friends, has heard it.’’ son.. ‘‘The only thing I see that could be im proved upon is the manner of settling a dis-: pute. The seven directors at large might be | which the board asa body might not agree, but otherwise I see no room for improvement. We have the best system of schools in the the schools are managed more economically than in any large city. Here we are building schools one after another in rapid succession, and do not owe a dollaronthem. The people do not really appreciate the excellent condl- tion we arein. We have the best teachers in the land and the best of normal schools. The election of directors from the districts tn the city causes the men to work hafd for their district, and this constant demand pushes matters more rapidly than would be the case if the men were appointed at large from no particular district. Let the School Board alone and let the people elect whom they choose.’’ - MR. JUDSON’S VIEWS. Mr. Frederick N. Judson when asked for his views on the subject said: ‘‘I think the measure attributed to Mr. Mansfield is open totwo grave objections: First,the making the office asalaried one would deprive itt of its traditional honorary character, and cause it to be sought for the sake of the salary, and secondly, the vesting in the Governor of the State the power of appointment to such a dis- tinctively local office, as school director, vio- lates sound principles of local self govern- ment. ‘‘No doubt, much is to be said in favor of making such an honorary office appoint- ive rather than elective, as the men who are best fitted for conducting the educational system ofa great city must make personal sacrifices in filling the office, and naturally enough they will not work to secure an elec- tion. But the appointing power should be in the Mayor or other municipal authority. In both Chicago and New York the members of the Boards of Education are appointed by the Mayor, and iI understand the system works well and that the Office is considered a highly honorary one, which representative citizens are ready to accept without salary. In New York, in addition to the appointed Board of Educa- tion, local School Commissioners are elected by districts who look after the local interests of their respective localities underthe gen- eral supervision of the board. ‘*A return to the old system of electing by wards would be the worst possible course, and would be a decided step backward. The present system combines general and local representation, and isa great improve- ment over the old ward system. But no sys- tem of election (or appointment either) will give satisfactory results where the people de- liperately surrender the business of self-gov- ernment. At the last school election only some 15,000 yotes were cast, 3,000 less than were cast at a special election for City Mar- shal a few weeks later—about one-fifth of the registered vote.

Bills Introduced by St. Louis Members of the LegisJature To-Day—A Blow at Sa- loon Men—Looking for Good Places on Committees—General Political and So- ciety Gossip. JEFFERSON City, Jan. 10.—The Senate held . M0 session to-day, having adjourned over late until Monday. There is a prospect ofa lively row in the Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners when ‘‘Farmer’’ Hickman stepsin to succeed Commissioner Downing, who goes out next Monday. A few days before Chfistmas it will be remembered Senator Jasper N. Burks resignedthe grain inspectorship to. give Commissoners Hennessy .and Donn a chance to put in Joseph O’Shea. Commissioner Breathitt objected to this, as he wanted no action taken towards filling the vacancy till the new board was organized. - Bhortly after Inspector O’Shea’s appointment he named W. C. Hall, a brotherof U.&. Hall, President of the Farmers’ Alliance, for a clerkship, at the pay of $1,500 a year. Last evening, Mr. Hall, who is connected with the Labor Bureau, forwarded a letter to Inspector O’Shea at St. Louis, declining the position. His action is taken to mean that the Alliance and Farmer Hickman are displeased by thesnap judgment taken by Commissioners Hennessy and Downing. President Hall claims that the appointment of O’Shea was made inthe face of the opposition of 40,000 ‘ members ofthe Farmers’ Alliance and most ofthe grain men of St. Louis. He hasstated his brother was given the clerkship to place _ the farmers’ organization under obligations. From the fact that Commissioner Breathitt and Commissioner-elect Hickman have de- mounced the action of Hennessy and Down- ing, the conclusion is drawn that there will bealively shaking up when Downing steps out and the Farmers’ Alliance member takes his place. IN THE HOUSE. The House was in session two hours to-day and spent most of the time in discussing the report ofthe special committee, fixing the number of employes of the House—such as clerke, pages, Janitors and the like. At the session two years ago there were no less than 200, and the committee for this session places the total number at 87, exclusive of the committee clerkships, and only the important committees will have clerks if the special committee can have its say. The Republican members tried this morning to cut the number reported by the commit- tee, but they had their labor for their pains. ' There were twenty-nine bills introduced ’ and given a first reading. Twoof these were presented by St. Louis Representatives. Representative Parker’s bill makes it a ‘Misdemeanor for any person dealing in to- bacco to sell cigars, cigarettes or tobacco in any other form to minors under the age of 17 years. Representative Church presented his bill for the encouragement and regulation of sav- ings banks. Representative Coats of Platte introduced anactconcerning public school text books. His bill provides for the appointment of a commission to secure uniformity of books inall public schools and to make such ar- rangements as it can to lessen the cost. This bill is in line with the recommendations of the Governor. Representative Fogle of Schuyler introduced a bill regulating dramshops inall cities,towns and villages in the State. The act requires that before any license is granted the applicant shall present to the County Court a petition signed by two-thirds of the assesed tax- “paying citizens and guardians of wards own- ing property in the locality where he pro- poses to establisha saloon. He must also give a bond of $2,000, andunder no circum- stances can the license be granted until it is shown thatthe assessed valuation of his property is at least $1,000. The present law so farasit applies to St. Louls simply re- quires a majority of tax payers inthe block, but it will be necessary to get two-thirds in the event that Mr. Fogle’s act becomes a law. LOOKING FOR GOOD COMMITTEYS. JEFFERSON CiTY, Mo., Jan, 10.—The Legisla- ture has passed through the organization period and the members of both branches are now anxiously awaitihg the announcement of the different committees, The Senate will have twenty-five, a sufficient number to give every Democratic membera Chairmanship, and the House will have not less than forty. There are 113 Democratic mem- ‘bers in the House and they all want something good. Those who are not seeking chairmanships want places on such committees as the Appropriations, Internal Improvements, Ways and Means and other important subdivisions. The St. Louis mem- bers gené¢rally believe that they will be treated /handsomely in the distribution. Re tative Church will go on the J Committee and many believe will be de chairman of the Commit Aee on Banks and ‘Gorporations, and ' Parker, oe is understood, is billed fora place onthe Internal Improve- ments Committee. This committee will han- die the billto place electric wires under- ground incities of the first class, and many rafiroad billsthe farmer members seem de- termined tourge. The committees will not be announced before the middle of next week. PROPOSED LEGISLATION. Railroad bills are already beginning to pour inon the House. No lessthan four were in- troduced within five minutes yesterday after- noon after the Governor’s message had been - yead. Hendrickson of Bates, an active mem- ber of the Farmers’ and Laborers’ Union, got in the first measure to regulate such corpora- tions. His bill aims at passenger rates. It provides that the limit on trunk lines be re- duced from 8 cents to 24% cents per mile and from 4 cents to 8 cents on branch roads. George of Polk County had his bill read, which aims to amend the act relative to freight rates.

The t Legislature will, like the pre- vious one, be asked to deal with the citizen vo wens: Aip ose ye ae me tig ic) pr stronger effort than ever will be made to that end by the champions of the militia,and the Adjutant-General has figures to show that ‘Missourl is away beliind in this respect as compared with other matic. The Governor strongly urges: some legislation to build up the rapidly diminishing militia in his biennial message, but it remains to be seen what the farmers will do in the premises. Col. Milton Moore of Kansas City has been in the city presumably in the interest of the militia, as he has for years taken an active interest in it. A LOUD-VOICED MINORITY. The Republican minority in the House, though few in numbers, has a_ faculty of making itself heard. Yesterday morning * Representative Stewart of Buchanan introduced a resolution denouncing the Lodge Federal eléction bill and thanking the Senators who have opposed it. The Republican members fought the reso- lution and by dilatory motions and repeated calls for the yeas and nays managed to delay business for fully two hours. Dr. Tubbs of Osage County led the battle for the Republl- cans, and while it progressed he charged openly several times that the minority was not receiving fair treatment. He intimated that the Speaker was trying to outdo Speaker Reed and threatened to delay business at every opportunity if Speaker Tuttle’s rulings were not acceptable to the minority. His language and conduct scarce- ly improved his chances of getting minority places onthe principal committees. Repre- sentative Tom Martin of St. Louis, an old amember,is more of a diplomate. He Kept out of the wrangle, and at no time gave the Osage member any assistance. Martin wants something better thana minority representa- tion on the, Committee on Swamp Lands. A TILT IN THE SENATE. Senator E. F. Stone and Senator Nat Shel- ton of Schuyler had a passage of words in the Senate yesterday afternoon that enlivened matters to someextent. During the discus- sion of the report presented by the commit- tee appointed to ascertain the number of clerks and other Senate employes needed for the session, Senator Stone, who was oppos- ing the committee’s recommendation toallow only the most important committees to em- ploy clerks, intimated that some of the Senators seemed disposed to pose as great reformers, or impress their respective constituents with that idea. who had been on the floor only a few minutes before defending the report,took it for granted that Stone meant to charge him with demagoguery and became very wroth. He went for the St. Louls Sena- torin vigorous language, not forgetting to remind him that he had just become a State Senator. He said something about the St. Louis Senator being too previous. Another Senator wanted Mr. Stone to understand that the Senate and the St. Louis House of Dele- gates were two different bodies. Mr. Stone explained that he had no intention at all of reflecting on Senator Shelton’s sincerity of purpose, but continued his opposition to the report of Shelton’s committee to shut outa number of the committees from having clerks. WANT AN AMENDED LAW. The Missouri Pharmaceutical Association already has its representatives on the ground working among the mem- bers in favor of the bill shortly to be presented by Representative Donelan of St. Joseph to materially amend the State pharmacy law. Chairman C. E. Corcoran of Kansas City, Chairman of the Legislative Committee of the association, and Secretary G. H. C. Kite of St. Louis are here pointing out to the members their reasons why the law should be amended. The measure they are advocating provides for the annual regis- tration of all pharmacists doing busi- ness in the State; to have the board increased from three to five mem- bers; to allow the State Association to make the nominations from which mem- bers of the board are appointed by the Goy- ernor, and alsoto restrict the sale of poison in retail quantities entirely to druggists. Speaking of the proposed act, Secretary Kile of the association said: ‘‘Our idea is to geta fund from the annual registration to carry on the prosecution of persons violating the law and to drive the in- competents out of the business. The meas- ure will have the cordial support of every one of the 1,200 members of the association in the State.’’ THE CONTEST FOR PLACES. The House will, it is expected, have a lively time over the clerkship and other salary pay- ing offices from chief clerk down to janitor. There is a disposition on the partof some of the leaders to make the force as large as ever, but the farmermembers in many cases are talking long and loud for retrenchment. The Chief Clerk wants about sixty men on his staff, and the other officers, such as Enrolling Clerk, Engrossing Clerk. Sergeant-at-Arms, Doorkeeper, etc., also want to provide ap- pointments for the army of can- didates now on the ground. A number ofthe candidates have been out of funds and are living in expectation of getting something. They are hoping that the re- trenchment move will not beas cyclonic in its character as some expect. The candidates are working right and left for recognition and give the members but little peace of mind. Even the smail boys are cam- paigning, as there are some sixteen pages to be selected for the two branches. These places pay $1.50 per day, and there are about fifty boys afterthem. There were so many of them in the House yesterday morning that one of the members asked,if the Jefferson City schools were closed. One of these little fellows furnished some amusement for a group of representatives in the Capitol rotunda. He came up from a county away down in the southeastern section with his father, whois a new mem- ber. The boy was canvassing for a placeas page and when he told what county he came from he was told to see the Representative from that place. This did not perplex the boy a particle. He coolly replied, ‘‘ Well, you see, this is Mr. ——’s first term and he is just akout as green as myself.’’ ‘ SOCIETY EVENTS. The society leaders of the State capital have arranged for several balls and receptions to be given during the session. Within the next ten days there will be noless than three re- ceptions. The Pyrean and Imperial Clubs will give two and the third will be given by Mrs, Gov. Francis at the Executive Mansion. There is much rivalry between the Imperial and Pyrean Olubsand each willtry to outdothe other. They are made up almost entirely of State officials, clerks and their wives and daughters and they say they will give the leg- islators to understand that when it comes to **swell’’ society affairs Jefferson City is by no means in the background, CHEAPER than anthracite—Pittsburg crushed coke.

BOLD ATTEMPT TO ROB A DIAMOND BROKER'S SAFE. The Thieves. Five in Number, Tracked and Arrested in the Act—One Escapes With a Bullet in His Leg—Shot by an Assassin — Killed His Mistress — The Daily Chapter of Crimes. CHIGAGO, Ill., Jan. 10.—A bold attempt at robbery was frustrated and a‘gangof des- perate safe blowers captured at an early hour this morning by the police. On the fifth floor of the building at No. 161 La Salle street is the office of Diamond Broker Murray. In a big safe he keeps thousands of dollars’ worth of diamonds. These were what the desperate thieves were after. Shortly after midnight two detectives who were walking down La Salle street saw five men, twoof whom were carrying bundles, enter the building at No. 161. The officers ‘concluded the men were safe-blowers and notified the Central station. Lieuts. Kipley and Clark quickly summoned a number of officers and the en- trances tothe building were guarded. The Meutenants with six detectives tiptoed up- stairs, each with drawn revolvers in hand. When the fifth floor was reached a noise was heard in room 81. Putting his shoulder to the door, Kipley threw hfs weight against it and it flew open. There was a shuffle of feet, and as the eight officers sprang inside they were in total darkness. Lieut. Kipley fired his pis- tol in the direction ef the noise. ‘‘We have got you surrounded,’’ said he; ‘‘you might as well surrender.’’ The gas was then lighted by one of the officers, while the others stood with their guns ready to shoot if the cracks- men should make arush to escape or show fightinany way. Butasthe gas flared up it revealed five men who stood near the safe with uplifted hands. On the floorin front of the safe lay a kit of tools. The combination had been twisted offandinfive minutes the valuables would have been reached. The tools were wrapped up and the thieves, in charge of the officers, started for the sta- tion. Officer McDonald, who was in front, led his men down the stairway until the first floor was reached, when the robber tripped the officer and made a desperate dash for lib- erty. The rear door wasopen and through this the thief ran. While the fellow was dash- ing downthe hall Lieut. Kipley, catchinga glimpse of his form, fired at him three times. But the daring cracksman escaped. The Lieutenant, however,is certain that oneor two of the bullets struck him. The fellow ran through the alley to Monroe street and then fied toward Fifth avenue; Officer McDonald pursued him and says that the fellow ran as though he had been wounded in the leg. None of the others tried to get away. It was just midnight when the officers and prisoners stepped into the station. Here the safe blowers were searched, and six big re- volvers of the heaviest caliber were taken. The men gavetheir names as Thomas Ken- nedy, Frank Duer, John Tuohy and Ed Mur- phy. The only familiar face in the gang was that of Murphy. He is an old time safe blow- er, and only recently was released from the Columbus (O.) Penitentiary for doing a job down in the Buckeye State some years ago. After the men were placed safely behind the bars the officers made an examination of the burglars’ outfit. The drills, chisels, punches and bits were of the finest chilled steel. The police are greatly elated over the capture. Prisoners for Detroit. Ft.

NEWMAN, Cal., Jan. 10.—A murder occurred Thursday night near Cottonwoods, the vic- tim being Mrs, Percy McDowell, wife of a ranch foreman, She wis visiting her mother, and the family were sitting in the parlor, when the assassin approached the house and fired a rifie bullet through the window. The bullet struck Mrs. McDowall in the side and she died ina few minutes. Foot prints were afterward found leading in the direction of E. F.Hale’s; Hale mas arrested and taken to Los Banos, Mrs. McDowell formerly worked for Hale’s wife and the women became enemies on account of a dispute over wages.

This question is basedonthe de- tails about the grave, etc., givenin the gos- pels, but since they are unreliable, late addl- tions, the question has no force.

Davidson of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey stationed in this city settles beyond doubt the fate ofthe two explorers, Wells and Price, of the ‘‘Frank Lesile’’ Alaskan expe- dition. Prof. Davidson declare that there is only a ghost of a chance of their safety. 4 he twomen left Forty Mile Creek for the unknown Copper River country last August at the same time that Schanz started for the coast with Greenfield, the Alaska Census Agent. Schanz and Greenfield got through all right, though they made.a thousand mile journey in the native canoes. Price and Wells were dissuaded from attempting to cross the _ divide and explore the Copper River country, as the season was far gone and the chances were that they would be caught by early snows. AVhen they left the last outpost at Forty Mile Creek they had only twenty pounds of rice and twenty pounds of flour and no fur clothes for winter. Price, however, who had spent two years in the Arctic regions, said that they could easily buy supplies from the natives. Since then absolutely nothing has been heard fromthem. The chief of the Copper River Indians, who left his home in’ October, reached the Alaska Commer- cial Co.’s station at Alganic in November. He reported that nothing had been heard by his people of any white men up to Oct. 20. The supposition from this is that Wells and Price have either perished or have wandered from the regular trail and taken refuge in one of the widely separated Indian villages. If they were lucky enough to find an Indian village nothing will be heard from them till next month, when the natives come down to Alganic or Port Atches with skins to trade. The chances, however, are greatly against their safety, as any news of white men Is car- ried from one village to another over great distances in Alaska in a wonderfully short space of time.

HIGH WINE. ‘Patrons of New York Hotels Complain of the Price. New York, Jan. 10.—The hotel men are at loggerheads over the question of the price of wine. At the Hoffman House, St. James and Delmonico’s the guests are mulcted to the extent of $4 a bottle for champagne, while at the Astor House, the Plaza and the Murray Hilithe same brands of wine can be pur- chased for $3.50a quart and $1.75 per pint. But it remains for the Gilsey House to under- sellany placeintown. Host Breslin has re- duced the price to % and $1.50. Two months agoalithe big hotels in town entered into an agreement to advance the price of wine to $4 a quart and on Nov. 10 the wine lists were marked up ac- cordingly. There was at once a hue and cry nthe part of the patrons, and nota few “wore off from indulging in the seductive drink at the increased price. The pressure fas sO great that some of the hotel-keepers weakened and reduced prices to the old stand- ard of $8.50. This worried the others and they had to follow suit. Mr. Breslin said that if the Motel men had held together and sus- tained their arbitrary price of $4a bottle the consumption would have fallen off so much inafew months that the importers would have been forced tocome down a reasonable price again. His present cut is made, he says, in hopes that it will force matters toa quick conclusion. $5.75 to Chicago. Cut rates now on by Jacksonville Southeast- ern Line and Santa Fe route.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 10.—The facuity at the Woman’s College is very much worked up over the elopement of one of the girls, Miss Katie Gilbert, who lives in Piedmont, W. Va., with Arthur See, who is also of Piedmont. ,The college rules are very strict and a careful Not- withstanding this Miss Gilbert managed to see her suitor whenever he came down from the mountains to visit her. He made his last appearance on Thanksgiving Day, when an elopement was planned. Miss Gil- bert’s parents, who are well-to-do, sent their daughter a liberal allowance. With that money she provided herself with an out- fit, not as complete as desired, but sufficient to answer all purposes. She collected piece by piece and put them in her little trunk un- der h@ bed. On New Year’s evening all was ready. Instead of going home Miss Gil- bert met Mr. See at the station in Piedmont, and together they went to Oakland, up in the » mountains where a minister was found, who married them. They then returned to Pied- mont and sought forgiveness, but the Gilbert family is obdurate and will not receive the elopers. For the time being they are board- ing.

BOTH MEN IN FINE TRIM AND CONFIDENT - OF VICTORY. - What the Sporting Fraternity Thinks of the Outcome—The Spot Where the Contest Will Take Place—How the Betting’ Stands—Pugilists Who Will Witness the Event. NEw ORLEANS, La., Jan. 10.—Everything is in readiness for the Dempsey-Fitzsimmons fight before the Olympic Club next Wednes- day night. The Olympic Club isthe only or- ganization in the city which has succeeded in making money off prize-fighting. New Orleans has always been looked upon as a profitable field for good sport. Jere Dunn picked this city out half a dozen years ago and endeavored to inaugurate a series of bat- tles here. Dempsey was to have. been one of his stars, and clever managers would have brought together the best men of this and other countries. The parties in power then were rapacious, however, and Dunn, wearied of running a pension bureau, gave up indis- gust. Dennis Butler, although he left the city in disgrace owing to the loaded gloves episode, virtually revived the sport, and showed that there was money in it. Several clubs took hold where he left off, but did not bring together men of prominence, and have so far failed to achieve fortune. The Olympics were lucky from the start. Tommy Warren begged for a fight with the English Kid, and the Olympics consented to hang up a small purse, The affair, which netted them about $500 Jack Dempsey. profit, created an enthusiasm within the club, and when Fitzsimmons and Carroll came here the Contest Committee, composed of business and not sporting men, saw its chance and was quick to grasp it. The Bowen-Carroll battle netted a profit of $3,000 or $4,000. The amphitheater was enlarged and improved until it is now the finest in the world, WHERE IT WILL TAKE PLACE. The large cotton press yard, which was leased for the fights, was bought outright. The seating capacity of the new am- phitheater is 4,500, with forty private boxes in the front rows. The place is lit by electricity. The roof is sectional, so that the fight can either take place in open air or under shelter; the ring is in turf, the ropes and stakes' are heavily padded and the arena is so arranged that the crowds cannot get into or even near it at any time, although their view of the pugilists Is unobstructed. From present indications the Olympic will make at least $10,000 profit on the high-priced affair of next Wednesday. The history of the coming contest is well- known. Jimmy Carroll suggested and boomed the prize up toits present propor- tion. The winner is to receive $11.000 and the loser $1,000, while Dempsey is said to receive $500 extra for expenses. Because the match is of Carroll’s making many people are confi- dent that Fitzsimmons will win. Carroll saw Fitzsimmons fight McCarthy, and thought then he had a world beater. To be sure he brought him here tofight Upham and Fitz- simmons simply played with his man, hitting him with one hand and holding him up with the other to keep him from falling. Fitzsimmons was sick for several days before the fight and.claimed that he had never trained thoroughly, nor been in condition for any of his contests. Carroll at once announced that he had a champion in charge and aimed at Dempsey. He would have gone as far as paying Dempsey $1,000 or $2,000 to make the match and intended to fol- low himunless he consented to accept the challenge. Dempsey saved him that trouble by signing articles as soon as the purse reached fancy figures. Fitz commenced training as soon as the fight was made, although he was already in fine health and condition. H™, and Qarroll rented a pretty little cohage on the Gulf coast for the season and have been housekeeping andtraining there. It is an ideal nest, with the salt sea on one side and pine woods on the other, with sandy roads allaround’and balmy weather the en- tire year. Ex-President Peterson of the Olympics and Carroll discovered it, and Car- roll was so delighted that he telegraphed to Fitzsimmons that Bay St. Louis was out of sight. Peterson mixed up the dispatches and sent a dispatch about being out of sight to his wife, which came near bringing about curi- ous results. Carroll brought down his wife and son from Boston. Fitzsimmons sent across the continent for his wife and baby, so that there has been quitea pugilist colony at the Bay. The ladies have been as earnest and faithful in forwarding the train- ingasthe men. So Fitzsimmons ‘sin perfect health and excellent trim. He weighs about 152 and will remain at that weight, as under Dempsey’s arrangement the men must mount the scale in fighting clothes. HOW FITZSIMMONS LOOKS. It is dificult to look at Fitzsimmons and imagine him a middle-weight. He is cer- tainly a freak of nature, and it remains to be seen if he is also exceptional in his science and hitting. Fitzsimmons’ measure- ments have never been published. He Stands 6 feet 1 inch in his shoes, measures 41 inches around the chest, 83 inches around the waist, 8 inches around the hips, 48 inches around the shoulders, 14 inches around the biceps, 12 inches forearm, 20 inches thigh, 14% calf, 15% inches around the neck. His leg is 86inches long, -and he measures 51 inches from the armpit to the end of the middle finger. That shows that he is evenly divided between legs and body with driving and staying powers and a tremendous reach. He is wiry and muscular, agile and wonderfully supple, with an apparent awkwardness that makes his movements puzzling. Above his high forehead is atuft of red hair, like the crest of a game-cock, and he is altogether a sight tosee, He has never met defeat, and when a boy in Australia he demonstrated in night. The hope of Dempsey’s friends is that along battle, suchas Dempsey proposes to make it. Fitesimmons was asked about this, and said that there need be no fear on that score. He worked at the forge for years, and it is well known that the labor of shoeing horses is as trying on the legs as on the arms, His legs never tired in his work and his ability to run miles ata time also shows that there is strength in his light under pinning. Carroll Fitzsimmons all of ibs ges i thinks that Fitz isa m a than the Marine. 80 much AS TO DEMPSEY. Dem has been training by fits and starts several months. For nearly four weeks he has been hard at work at Galveston, also renting a cottage near the beach. When Dempsey was here he looked better than ever in his life, and has éven tmproved his condi- tion. Many of his friends hardly liked the idea of his staying up late at night and travel- ing around giving exhibitions during the last part of his training; but there is method in the madness, Dempsey’s main desire is to keep strong without training down too light, proposing to meet Fitz at nearly eyen weights. He weighed 152 pounds last Sunday, although he usually fights at from 144 to 148 pounds, and ‘even then was so finely trained that he was as cross as fighters down to limit are, He has also been devoting special attention to his legs and doing as much running as a pedestrian ina six days ‘‘go-as-you-please.’’ In conse- quence Dempsey’s mainstays look larger and more heavily muscled than usual. Dempsey, like other new school fighters, believes in working at night by artificial light so as to get accustomed to the conditions surrounding’ the battle itself. He can do this by giving exhibitions as well as any other way and earn an honest dollar at the same time. | The Fitzsimmons following looks at his cause ina different light, thinking that he anticipates defeat and is feathering his nest as best he can before his forced retirement. Dempsey in height and reach has several inches disadvantage, and his shoulders are hardly as broadas thoseof his giant oppo- nent, but thelayers of muscle are thicker, and he is fit to make the fight of his life in ev- ery way. The men are exactly the same age, 28. Their weight will be nearly the same and the’ test of quality only only remains. From the conversation of the rivals and their main supporters, their tactics can well be outlined inadvance. On the part of Fitzsimmons it will be a ight from the jump; his long reach and his fund of science are supposed to be equal to enabling him to land early and often. If Dempsey stands and takes the punishment he will be hitharder than heever has been and will hardly be able to stand it forever. If, on the contrary, Dempsey tries tokeep out of reach he will have to. hustle so much that he will tire long before Fitzsimmons does, as long legs will save him much walkingin pursuing. Dempsey’s plan will be to prevent long range exchanges. He will doubtless resort to clinching as far as permitted under Queensbury rules, and his jabs and leads will be devoted to Fitzsim- mons’ heart, which will be the most vulner- able point within reach. It all depends as to which fighter can best carry out his plans. The stumbling block in Dempsey’s way is his opponent’s reach and the latter’s sup- posed wonderful hitting abilities, while it is also claimed that Fitzsimmons, like all the Australians who gathered wisdom from Jem Mace and Abe Hicken, isa clever in-fighter. On the other hand, Fitzsimmons may find Dempsey too shifty to be reached and may be rattled by Dempsey’s generalship, for he cer- tainly has not the advantage of Dempsey’s experience and his coolness in the face of baf- fied attempts is an unknown quantity. THE ATTENDANTS. Fitzsimmons will be here on Monday. Dempsey will arrive on Monday night or Tuesday morning. Dempsey will be seconded by Jack McAuliffe, who hates Carroll as much as does Dempsey and who will probably fight Carroll in the same ring in about a month for a $10,000 purse, and Tom Maher, Dempsey’s old and tried second. Fitzsimmons will be attended to by Carroll and Doc O’Connell if the latter escaped injury in his fight with Ed Conley on Monday night, and Johnnie Griffin, the Boston bantam, willalso probably be in the corner: Each man will appoint his own timekeeper, and the referee will be se- lected the night before’ the battle. The club picks the man, provided he is satisfactory to both sides. Commodore Alex Brewster, who refereed the Sullivan- Ryan fight, is prominently spoken of but he | will hardly accept. Bob Lynd, a prominent local amateur, wo has refereed a number of fights here, and James J. Corbett, the Cali- fornia heavy weight, are also mentioned, Thereis already a large gathering of pugi- lists here. More are coming. Among those who will be present are: McAuliffe, Tommy Warren, Bob Farrell, Billy Myer, Jack Files, lLiney Tracy, Mike Conley, Uphahn, Pitzlin, the St. Joe Kid, Jimmie Carroll of Brooklyn, Jim Corbett anda number of others;all the fighters are Dempsey men, Corbett and Warren being non-committal and most of the many strangers who are arriving are also for Dempsey. The reason for this is plain. Dempsey ts considered the | American representative, and besides that most of them have seen Dempsey fight and have every confidence in his ability to come out of hard and long sieges with glory. They quote for instance the first La Blanche fight, when La- Blanche hit Dempsey hard in his terrific rushes, but Dempsey came out of it all smiling and with strength enough to finish his man. In New Orleans, on thecontrary,Fitzsimmons is the favorite. Dempsey has not fought here since 1883, when he defeated Bixamos, the French wrestler, a wonderfully strong man, but entirely untutored in pugilism. The rest of his careeris newspaper report. Fitz- simmons and Carroll won here recently and confidence in the shrewdness of one and the ability of the other is unbounded. There has been about $7,000 bet upon each man at even money and the Fitzsimmons end is nearly all New Orleans capital. The influx of strangers’ means money to the city, and should Fitzsimmons win the finances of New Origans will be increased to a considerable extent. For furnaces use Pittsburg coke.

Remarkable Experiments Conducted by - Gol. Wm. J. Volkmar—A New Feature Added to the Art of War—Signaling by Moonlight—Foreign Opinions. Until within a recent period the electric telegraph was. considered to be the only means of sending messages rapidly and ac- curately over long distances. That a flash of a mirror could be geen for a long distance is a familiar fact, and ‘the use of mirror signals has been common among the wild Indian tribes of the. plains for many years. The French in. Algeria and the English in India also made attempts to communicate between distant stations by ‘means of flashes from glasses, but the success met with was very limited. It was left for officers of the United States Army to prove the practicability of the sun- flash or heliograph system of telegraphy and to put it into operation over lines many hun- dreds of miles in extent. The results of their labors in this fleld were not only curious and interesting, but were of the greatest practical benefit and inthe present Indian. campaign may prove of the highest importance. COL. VOLKMAR’S RECORD, During 1890 Col. William J. Volkmar, Assist- ant Adjutant General, U. 8. A., seton foota series of experiments in the Territories of Arizona and New Mexico, which may be said to have revolutionized the means of comntu- nication between distant and remote parts, and to have added a new and important de- partment to the art of war. En- tering the volunteer forces while still a mere boy, Col. Volkmar soon received an appointment to the United States Military Academy. After graduation he servedin severai Indian campaigns, but kept up his scientific and professional studies, and was soon selected as engineer officer and aide-de-camp to Gen. John Pope. Here he attracted the attention of Gen. P. H. Sheri- dan, who transferred him to his personal staffand afterwards detailed him to repre- sent the United States at the grand maneuvers of the French army. He remained with Gen. Sheridan until he was promoted to the rank of assistant adjutant-general, which office he now holds. He is a resident of St. Louis, being the Adjutant-General of the Department of the Missouri. Although the youngest man in his corps, Col. Volkmar is well known, partly owing to the importance of his recent extensive heliograph system in Arizona and New Mexico. A DIFFICULT PROBLEM. One of the most difficult problems that the United States Army has had to solve Is to dis- ' cover a method of rapid communica- tion between the military posts situated in an unsettled country and far from each other. Military telegraph lines have been erected, but aside from their great cost they are liable to break down, thus inter- rupting communication for days at a time, and can be at any moment cut by parties of marauding Indians. None familiar with the subject fail to recognize the unreliability of this method of communicatiofi, which is most likely to be interrupted when most needed, and is of limited use to widely separated bodies of troops in the field. By the perfec- tion to which he has brought the heliograph system Col. Volkmar has largely increased the efficiency of scat- tered detachments of troops and has lessened the possibility ef cutting off communication between different posts, as instead of a long line of wire exposed to destruction at any point, allthat is now required is sunlight anda station can be established at any point as soonas four men can be sent there. It ' would be difficult to overestimate the impor- tance of this, especially during an Indian campaign carried oninacountry destitute communication, and it may well be seen that with- in the next few weeks scores of valuable lives will be saved by the experi- ments carried on last spring among the moun- tains of Arizona, THE HELIOGRAPHIC SYSTEM. The system itself, like many other impor- tant inventions, is exceedingly simple, and requires for its operation a very simple equip- ment. Messagesare sent by means of the Morse telegraphic code, flashes sent from mirrors representing the dots and dashes. The field heliograph equipment consists of a sole leather pouch containing a sun mirror, a station mirror, a screen, a sighting rod,.and a mirror bar, while a skeleton case contains two tripods. The wholecanreadily be carried by one man. The sun mirror has an unsil- vered spot in its center, the station mirror a paper disk; in other respects they are similar to each other, and to ordinary mirrors. The screen is of hard vulcanized fibre, and is pro- vided with a key and spiral spring, by which the flash can be revealed and cut off. Ali is mounted ona light tripod. .The position of the sun determines whether one or two mir- rors should be used. When the sun is in front of the operator the sun mirror alone is required, when it is behind him the sun mirror receives the rays and reflects them to the station mir- ror, by which the mesgage is sent. The ad- justment of the apparatus is the work ofa few moments. When one mirror alone is used the tripod is set firmly on the ground and the mirror and sighting rod attached by clamps. The observer sights through the center of the mirror, this being rendered pos- sible by the unsilvered spot, and raises or lowers the . sighting rod until the center of the mirror end of the rod and distant station are accurately in line. Everything is then clamped firmly and the mirror is moved by slow-motion screws until the ‘‘shadow spot’’ falls upon the sightingrod, when the flash will be seen at the distant station. “The screw, is then at- tached to its tripod and placed close to and in front of the sighting disk so as to intercept the flash. With twomirrors the process is the same, except that the sun mirror is so aligned as to throw a reflection on the station mirror, by which the flash is transmitted. METHODS OF SIGNALLING. Signalling is effected by depressing the screen for periods of time required to display flashes corresponding to dots and dashes. The dot igs represented by a momen- tary exposition of the fash, the duration of which constitutes the unit of time. The dash is represented by a display of the flash for three units of time, the pause between letters the same, and between words six units of time. To call a station asteady flash is turned upon it, and kept there until an- swered. Both stations then adjust accurately upon each other’s flashes, this acknowledged by cutting off the flash. The operators are then ready for work, which is carried on by the familiar Morse code. At considerable dis- tances messages can be read with the naked eye. At greater distances fleld glasses are desirable. Before the subject was so systematically taken up by Col. Volkmar it was generally supposed, asa result of agen experience, that while long distance graphy was of telegraphic a ite - " a i Pets PS "* a hes ats ‘= en ay ee n ; - ; Reet SFr s « n JF J wt S25 ae me 55 Fe> ta * * : m hag IUD Re Ss eee ork tay ie EES By, Maras tee 3 n .

LONDON, Jan. 10.—There is no doubt, ¢ spite all reports to the contrary, that Dillox departure for France is to strength O’Brien’s hand against. the McCarthy! who are averse to considering the term arranged between O’Brien and Parne mcCarthy is completely in the han of Healy, who is altogether for repudia . ©’Brten, since he failed to induce O’Brien ‘their Paris interview to cut relations wi parnell. The feelings with which McCartl and Sexton have now gone to Boulogne é plainly indicated by Hooper’s dispatch to Cork paper, wherein he says that if O’Bri plays into Parnell’s hands he, too, must fought. 7 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE THREAT. The significance of this threat will appe from the fact that Hooper is to be editor the new McCarthyite Dublin daily pap which post O’Brien declined. Hooper h been in constant communication in Lond« for the past week with Carthy and Sexton: O’Brien on side Is indignant at the insultif strain in which the Gladstonian newspape assaill his action in conferring with Parne and it is beHeved that these newspapers a inspired by the McCartbyites; in short, th McCarthy is plainly trying to antagoni O’Brien. Itis known that if Dillon and O’ Bri fail to reunite the party, they will goto Jj and the six months of their imprisonme will enable the Healy faction to consolide their power in Ireland, which Is an additio inducement for them to preventany set ment unless there is a rupture betwe O’Brien, McCarthy and Sexton, Nothing @ thentic will be known for some days as to result of the conference. EFFECT ON THE LIBERALS. In the meantime the crisis is telling se ously on the harmony of thg Gladstont party. Harcourt is sulking and probak cursing the ‘home rule alliance. The G stonian pressand politicians show nog tude to the MeCarthyites for their sacrifices order to preserve the Gladstonian allianc They speak and .write about them in tone of -command and patrona which they never dared to adopt when F nell was leader. In fact the prestige of Irish party has suffered enormously by election of McCarthy, because he is only makeshift and cannot restrain the oppost forces within the partywith Davitt on ones! and Healyon theother. O’Brien and Di are irretrievably committed to the plan campaign,which Sexton has always oppose There are arising small jealousies which Ps nell's influence has always hitherto checke McCarthy’ will be driven mad or retire. WILL NOT RETIRE. It is stated authoritatively that, trrespe Ive of any compromise between Messrs. Pa nelland O’Brien, Mr. Justin McCarthy is 4 termined to retain the positionof chairm and willbeg@ party to no bargain betwe Messrs. Parnell and O’Brien. This is view he takes of what is due to him From first to last Mr. Dillon has been acé senting party to the Boulogne treaty. WHERE GLADSTONE STANDS. The rumor has been current again of a sp in the Liberal party, growing out of the I complication, There was some ground for once, but there is notruthinit now. Diffe ences of opinion as to the best course to pt sue with the Irish party at first arose betwe Gladstone, Harcourt and Morley. Thése¢d ferences have been settled, and the Lit leaders are acting togethgr, all reports the contrary notwithstanding. Gladsto has no desire to retire from politic life. While heis ready todo so, should cause of his country require it, he is asst and he feels that his services were never mo needed than at the present time. He give them, and is content to die in the hess.
