THE BANISHMENT OF A BEAUTIFUL GER- MAN GOVERNESS FROM THE COURT. a The Prince’s Unexpected Demise Connect- ed With the Latter Fact—Relations Be- tween France and Russia—Gladstone on the Great Liberal Victory at Hartlepool —Revolution in Chili—Brazil’s New Ministry—Foreign News. BRUSSELS, Jan. 23.—Prince Baudouin, nephew of King Leopold and heir to the throne of Belgium, is dead. He died inthis city at 3 o’clock this morning. The cause of his death is alleged to have. been an attack of bronchitis. The death of the Prince has causeda tremendous sensation and creates consternation among all classesin Brussels. There are all sorts of rumors circulating, as the public were not aware that the Prince was ill. Prince Baudouin Leopold Phillippe Marie Charles Antoine Joseph Louis was the sone of the Count of Flanders, brother of King Leopold. Prince Baudouin was born in this city on June 3, 1869. He was a Captain of - Belgian Carbiniers and a Captain of Prussian cavalry, being attached to the Second Reg!i- ment of Hanoverian dragoons. Intense excite- ment prevails in Brussels and throughout the provinces. Crowds of people are parad- ing the streets or gathered in knots at street corners eagerly discussing the situation. On all sides the warmest expressions of sym- pathy with the royal family in this, thejr fresh trial, are heard. Prince Baudouin’ - popularity and brilliant talents and the bright hopes centered by the Belgians on his future career makes them feel the Prince’s lossin the keenest manner possible. The news of the Prince’s death was withheld from his sister, the Princess Henriette, a beautiful girl about 20 years of age, who is dangerously sick with infammation of the lungs. The palace of the Countof Flanders. where the Princess resides, is surrounded by a strong force of police, whoare doing their utmost to prevep Ahe unusual noise in the streets from arr ising the suspicions of the suffering Prins 4s Ie cealihe RUMORS. The sudden death of Prince Baudouin has caused the most alarming rumors to be cir- culated on all sides and these rumors grow in import as the day progresses. It was openly asserted that the death of the popular Belgian Prince was arepetition of the sad circumstances sur- rounding the death of the Archduke Rudolph, the heir to the Austrain throne, who met his deathin sucha mysterious manner on Jan. 80, 1869. It was added that a beautiful German governess, who had been recently banished from the Belgium Court, by order of King Leopold, had been in some way connected with the death of Prince Baudouin. Rumor also had it there had been an intrigue lastinga long time between the governess and the Prince and the result of their liaison is said tc Nave been the birth of achild. In any case, the deathof Prince Baudouin is surrounded with mystery and speculation. The court physicians in. the death certificate announce that Prince Bau- douin’s death were caused by hemorrhage, followitg a severe attack of bronchitis. The physicians also assert that the Prince caught a chill while watching at the bed side of his sister, the Princess Henriette, who has been ill for some _ time past. But these statements are far from convincing the people that the real cause of the death of Prince Baudouin has been given y to the publHc, and the startling rumors already referred to are popularly believed to be founded ona solid basis of fact of some description. Telegrams and messages of con- dolence with the royal family of Belgium in this, their great sorrow, are already reaching Brussels from all parts of Europe, among the dispatches received being words of sympathy from Queen Victoria and the Prince and Princess of Wales. The brother of Prince Baudouin, Prince Albert Leopold Clement Marie Meinrad, who was born April 8, 1875, 1s now heirtothe throne of Belgium. Prince Albert is studying under the direction of‘a number of tutors in preparation for passing his examination previous to entering upon a military career. ! spe French and Russfan Relations. -_— PaRIS,Jan.23,.—The newdépaper, XIXme Siecle, to-day published an interview with Gen. Lansdorf, the Ozar’s confidential court chamberlain, during the course of which the Chamberlain. s quoted as saying that Rus- sians and Frenchmen have so many affinities of character that the former sympathize,with France and have a profound antipathy for the people of England and Germany, whose , Characters are different. Russia, according to the chamberlain, can only reap advantage from contact with the French, and hopes to develop her commercial afd industrial rela- ations with France. The latter country ,said the Chamberlain, had recently shown that her wealth was greater than ever, andit was gratifying to know that the two nations were most closely connected by force of circum- stances and similiarity of interests. Finances were most prosperous in Russia. France, he added, could bear her military burdens with- out fear of financial disaster, which was not the case of several other powers. Every year armed peace sees the success of Russia and France assured and their union renders war impossible and restrains Europe. Therefore a closer union is de- sirable. A feeling of great tension recently existed between Germany and Russia. Emperor Wiliam wished to hold the German winter maneuvers on the Russian frontier, and preparations to that end were being made. The Czar, however, notified,the Emperor that should he hold the winter maneuvers as proposed he (the Czar) would in such an event mobilize the Russian first army corpsand order important move- ments of troops to be made. Upon this representation being made to the Em- peror, the latter abandoned his intention of holding the winter maneuvers on the Russian frontier. The Emperor is making a thousand advances to England, but he would do well to remem?! ¢ that a British alliance is to be dis- trusted. A SUPREME LABOR COUNCIL. - PARIS, Jan. 23,—It was to-day decided at the Cabinet meeting to appoint a Supreme Labor Council, to consist of M. Roche, Pres- MM. Jing sioaon, Challomel-Lacour, » Vice Presidents; tive of Catholic 80- Cédalism and eighteen employers ana eighteen workmen SARAH BERNHARDT | PARIS, Jan. 23.~Sarah Bernhardt will leave Havre for ‘New York on the steamer La Cham- pagne on Saturday next. She will be the re- ber to reception at Havre. She ee to America an unpublished Italian dramatist G | Place de L’Opera to-day, the police arrested & number of men who were found ree about in that neighborhood. The Liberal Victory at Hartlepool. LONDON, Jan. 22.—Mr. Gladstone arrived in town to day. He said that defeat at Hartle- pool by a few votes would not have surprised him. He is, therefore, all the more delighted with victory. It is stated that the defeated | Unionist candidate, Sir William Gray, is showing his resentment by preparing tocur- tail some of the industries in which he ig in- terested. He regards his defeat asa personal vance, and as showing the ingratitude of is numerous employes, nearly all of whom voted for Furness on principle, although they like Gray, who would have been overwhelm- ingly elected under the old open voting sys- tem. The Liberals say that now they are ready for a general election any time that the Tories want. The view is now generally ex- préssed that the Government will change its plans of election in the spring and hold out for the full term of Parliament: Thereisa growing feeling among Liberals that the bill for Irish home rule, which they would be ex- pected to support, should be outlined for the next general election. Mr. Askquith, Giad- etonian M. P. for East Fishera, Scotland, says tthe control and appointment of the po- lice should be vested in the Irish Government by any home rule measure, and also the power to deal with the land question. THE BEHRING SEA TROUBLE. LONDON, Jan. 23.—In the House of Com- mons to-day Sir James Ferguson, the Politi- cal Secretary of the Foreign Office, in reply to a question upon the subject @said that the * Behring’ Sea corre- spondence and discussions were taking the ordinary diplomatic course, un- affected by the application made to the United States Supreme Court. This applica- tion, added Sir James Ferguson, had been made at the instanceof Canada, and upon the advice of American lawyers. THE JAMAICA EXPOSITION. LONDON, Jan. 23.—The coming Jamaica Ex- position is to be made, if England can make it, a strictly British affair. Prince George of Wales isnowon his way to the Exposition with great eclat and a gran@display of roy- alty. The chagrin in the United States at the failure of the British to extend an unqual- ified invitation to American exhibitors ex- cites amftsement here, where the niotive is well understood. Canada, Jamaica and the rémainder of Great Britain’s colonies in North, Central and South America are to be wnited in one grand customs union, buying from each other such product s as they require and giving the rest of thd world the go-by. The colonies will be expected to discriminate in favor of Brit- ish manufactures as against non-British; but otherwise they will, to all intents and pur- poses of a tariff character, be a union unto themselves. The scheme takes in Belize and British Honduras, as well as the Falkland Islands, in fact, every British possession on the American continent or - geographically connected with it. The consent of the colo- nies is needed, ana that isto be won through events such as the Jamaica exposition. A vast display of American manufactures on the occasion would marthe harmony and not tend to the consummation of the plan. The Revolution in Chili. Bugwos AYRES, Jan. 23.—Information has been received here from Chilito the effect that Valparaiso, Iquiqui, Coqhimbe and Pica cohtinte in a state of blockade. The dispatch adds that the insurgents are masters of the situation. They have seized Terapace and have sacked all the stores containing or sup- posed to contain arms and amunitionin Val- paraiso. The insurgents will consent to al- low the Port of Valparaiso to be reopened to commerce, provided the foreign consuls main- taina neutral attitude. The general opinion throughout Chili, according to the advices received here, seems to be that unless President Balmaceda promptly resigns, the whole of the military forces of Chili will rise in revolt against his authority. FOREIGNERS SAFE. Foreigners residingin Chili are declared to be safe from molestation. Italians living in the country are accused of having openly and secretly given aid and comfort tothe revolutionists.

A Scheme of Dealers in Oats to Secure Cus- tom Exploded. There has beena great dealof quiet talk Minister of Foreign }concerning. the- pérformances of a firm lo- cated in the Western part.of the city which has been dealing in oats for some time ee. This firm has been in the bit of buying grain from the elevators and selling it totheir customers in different parts of the city. There has been no little comment excited by the fact that the firm in question has been able to sell oats at a lowerrate than competitors,and consequently its business has grown rapidly. Thecause of the low rates which were made is believed to have been discovered. Porter Leonard was oneof the customers of the firm,and bought large quan- tities of oats. His attention was attracted by one of the elevator ticketsand he called at the Central Elevator to ascertain whether it was allright. The ticket was at once pronounced a forgery, and while the elevator people said that the sellers had bought oats, they also stated that the amount was much smaller than the tickets presented to Mr. Leonard. called for. A still hunt was at once inaugurated, and the fact develoyed that the enterprising grain dealers had made a steady practice of rais ng the figures of elevator tickets, and at the same time lowering their prices below those of their competitors. As is readily seen, by this means ae greatly increased their trade, were doing a land-office business when the scheme was exposed. Arrangements have been made ih several cases, but it is by no means improbable that a criminal prose- cution may be the result of these rotten ir- regular business methods, HOTEL AND STORES BURNED.

Several More oe for Senator in the THE THREE CANDIDATES GET THE SAME VOTE FROM THEIR SUPPORTERS. ——- - Palmer and His Friends Still Confident of a Victory—Arrival of Constituents to Influence the F. M, B. A. Members in Favor-of the Democrats’ Choice—In- galls’ Fight. SPRINGFIELD, IMi Jan. 23.—Every train coming into the city, brings a new batch of politicians. <A great who came in at the beginning of the Joint sessions have gone home, thinking that the contest will be a long one, The indications at pres- ent are that Traubeneck has prac- tically assumed the leadership of the F. M. B.A. members. While the voting of these gentlemen has surprised a great many. peo- ple, yet the Democrats are not discouraged. The policy of the Republicans to ask delay is accepted as a weakness and the effort that is now being made will be of incalculable benefit to the Democrats in the next election. Some talk of Gresham as @ possible Senator can be heard. Mr. Callahan of Crawford County has also been mentioned. The former wauld not accept and. the lattercannot be elected. The Palmer line shows no signs of weakening. It is not likely that more than one ballot will be taken to-day. PALMER CONFIDENT. There was a feeling in Springfield last night, which is shared by Democrats and Repub- licans alike, that Gen. Palmer will be elected before the end of the week. The feeling has assumed the proportions of certainty in many quarters, and enthusiastic supporters of the veteran are really offering odds on his chances, with but few takers. Democrats are jubilant and Republicans are correspondingly depressed. In the House yesterday, while everybody was talking about the stand the farmers would take on the subject of ballot- ing, there was an- undercurrent of gossip to the effect that Gen. Palmer .would be elected before the close of the day’s proceedings. Just where the idea originated or what cir- cumstances led up to itis not known, but it has received such extensive circulation that everybody believes it wil} be fulfilled before many hours have passed. Gen. Palmer himself is hopeful, an@ when he passed through the corridor of the Leland last night, greeting old friends from evéry part of the State, who have come to the cap- ital tomake his campaign a rediletter event in the political history of llinois, his eyes were snapping with good humor and antici- | pation, Republican leadeéfs tacitly admit that they have lost the fight, and though they are still running their venerable candidate they have no idea that he isin it. Uncle Dick Is of the same opinion, according to intimate friends, but now that he is entered he says he will rum-¢lear the track, even if he does lose. Patnier't are everywhere. They have taken possession of ‘the hotels, the streets, the theaters*everything in sight. Their coat lapels are decorated with red silk ribbons, on which isthe name of their chief in letters of silver» ‘‘Palmer’’ is written clear across the face of them, and inthe House to-day four out of every five men met had them displayed conspicuously.

At the St. Nicholas is a delegation ofthe wealthiest and most prominent Democrats of Fairfield, the county seat of Wayne County, Dr. Moore?s home, who have come to help their fellow townsman to arrive at a speedy solution of the senatorial puzzle. Among the party areC. ©. Kramer, C. ©. Bangs, Dr. E. I. Hall, J. B. Schaefer, William Smith, R. P. Harms, John Morrts and C. W. Summers. Last night they met Dr. Moore by appoint- mentand hada long and pleasant chat with the leader of the farmer trio. All the gentle- men will remain during the week and, per- haps, longer. Like other Democrats, they believe Gen. Palmer will be elected. THE ‘‘FORCE’’ BILL. The Democrats of the House reclaimed their natural allies to-day, the F. M. B.A, men voting with them on a resolution de- nouncing the force bill as an iniquity. The resolution was introduced by Mr. Springer, who made a long speech,and was followed by Reed Green of Cairo in vigorous support of the proposition.» Morris, the colored representative from Chicago, made the only speech for the Republicans. In the test vote on a motion to refer to the Committee on Federal Relations, the three farmers and Scaife, Republican, voted with the Demo- crats, the results being, yeas, 72: nays, 81. At amendment to change the phraseology of the resolution and eall it the Federal elec- tions, instead of the force bill, was defeated. The resolution was not disposed of when the jotnt convention met. . EIGHT BALLOTS—NO CHOICE. Eight ballots were taken and no result reached. The vote was: Democrats, 101 for Palmer; Republicans, 100 for Oglesby, and the F. M. B. A., 8 for Streeter.

Smith:is President of the State Board of Agriculture, and Sims has been State Treasurer, State Senator and Master of the State Grange. Old soldiers are still backing Ingalls, a meeting being called in Topeka to- morrow evening to boom the soldiers’ move- ment. AN EXCITING DISCUSSION. There wasa very exciting discussion in the House of Representatives this morning. The tempest was aroused by the presentation of a memorial from the ex-Union soldiers of To- peka, asking that Senator Ingalls be re- turned to the’ United States Senate. The memorial recited that Senator Ingalls had always been loyal tothe old soldiers and asked that no one be selected to succeed him who .would not do as mach for them tn Oongress as he would do. Mr. Lupfer of Pawnee county, moved that it be placed on the table; This brought, Judge Webb to his feet, who rotested idiers. Committee on Agriculture. This pleased the Alliance ,members immensely. After numerous Other motions one was made to refer it toa special committee of old soldiers pointed by the chair. ‘The discus cate bitterly attack President McGrath of the State Alliance in this week’s issue. THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE. Representative Loupine’s woman’s unlim- ited suffrage bill will probably fail to pass, although the Lower House favors it a strong majority.. ted measure, but Democratic Senmtors opyprer it, while Republicans are divided. INGALLS’ CHANGE OF FRONT. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23,—Acting under the advice of friends, Senator Ingalls left for Kansas Wednesday night, and will be at the State capital until the ballots are cast for United States Senator on next. Before leaving he paired with Senator Allison of Iowa on the closure Pule and the force bill. Allison favors both and Ingalls thus indicat- ing that he would vote against the Measures has occasioned some surprise: General Assemblies. LITTLE Rock, Ark., Jan. 28.—Maj. Wood- ruff’s shortage will now, it is estimated, amount to $96,800. The bondsmen who must make this amount good are among the wealthiest men in Little Rock, but it seems impossible to get them to agree on any mode of action.

Senator Espenchied introduced a Dill amending that section of the Australian bal- lot reform law .relative to the number of tickets required. The present law requires that 200 ballots shall be provided for every fifty registered voters. The amended Dill re- duces the number of tickets to seventy-five for each fifty voters. Senator Cochran is looking into the peni- tentiary contract system. This morning he introduced a resolution’ requiring the peni- tentiary inspectors to presenta report at an. early day, showing what contracts are now in force, the number of convicts employed and the amount received by the State from such contractors. Senator McGinnis introduced .a bill to pre- vent the Board of Health from discriminating against electropaths. IN THE HOUSE. In the House the entire morning session was given over to the consideration of the bill to appropriate $650,000 to pay the indebt- edness of the State which becomes due in 1891 and 1892. The House was in a committee of the whole with Daiton of Ralls in the chair. The various items in the bill were. discussed until noon, when a recess was taken until 2 o’clock. THE WORLD’S FAIR RESOLUTION. The Donnell World’s Fair resolution was adopted in the House to-day after some dis- cussion. It declares it the sense of the House that no appropriation should be made for World’s Fair purposes by the Assembly while the Lodge Federal election bill is pend- ing in the Unitea States Senate. It goes fur-~ ther; and deciares that should not expend a single having an exhibit at the Fair if the force bill is allowed to become alaw. The resolution was bitterly attacked by the Republican members, but on roll call all the Democrats, with but three or four exceptions, voted in the affirmative. THE SOCIAL EVIL QUESTION. The ‘‘Social Evil’’ question is one thatis bound to attract much attentionin this ses- sionofthe Assembly. Representative Ame- lung of St. Louis has a Dill in charge to re- store most of the features of the old social evil law, which was repealed years ago asa result of an uprising of moral sentiment against © it. Amelung says he had the bill ‘ever since he came here, and that he has carefully looked over the ground and is how prepared to exhaust every effort to secure its passage. He says his bill has nothing to do with the measure which led up to the arrest of Swayne and O’Reilly in St. Louis a couple of months ago. They were taken in by the police on a charge of extorting. money from fallen women by claiming that they intended to use it to secure the passage of a bill in their behalf. Amelung says he does not care what argu- | ments are presented against his bill he pro- poses to miss no. - -epgompataed to advance it in its legisilat : THE 494 INSPECTION LAW. Another bill of particular interest to St. Louis was introduced yesterday by Represen- tative Hawkins. It is aimed to repeal the State milk inspection law so as to give St. | Louls the right to regulate that matter and enforce its own inspection law. The milk inspection lawof St. Louis, he says, Is sufficient for all practical purposes, and can be enforced better if the State law is removed from the statute books. THE BRIBERY LAW. Senator Espenchied introduced qa bill to-day amending the bribery law in such a manner as to remove the section making .ita felony to give a bribe to a “public officer, His argument is that a public official who takes a bribe never can be convicted, while, the bribe-giver is liable tothe same punish- ment. If he testifies that he has bribeda public official he criminates himself and hence the difficulty of getting testimony from those who offer bribes. AMENDING THE SPECIAL JURY LAW. Representative Ryan has had a Dill pre- pared to amend the law. He says there need of legislation on this subject. and he proposes to supply the deficiency. Under the present conditions, he argues, the corpord- tions can, in certain civil proceedings, outa stronff damage case by calling in a Special jury. penny towards judges the right to Gecide when such neces- sity exists. ST. LouIs LEGISLATION, Counselor Bell spent a couple of hours be- fore the Senate committee having the under- ground wire and boulevard bills under con- yesterday afternoon. He is ‘ment nape contained a proposition setting forth P. should or. the grain while” sacks wil hot be ripped open by rats ce, ‘ THE ‘‘GEESE’’ BILL. “The author of the bill to restrain domesti¢ bers to have some fun at” the’ expense of the bill, the fact’ remains that the committee has or it. favorable consideration and he says it will. surely pass. POLICE BILLS. The committee representing the St. Louis. Police Relief Association is still hard at work” pda rey the preliminaries for the introduc- tion of the bill giving the Municipal Assembly of the city power to pass an ordinance pen-’ sioning those members of the force who be-. come disabled in the discharge of police duty and the widows and orphans of. those. who are killed in the service. The com- mittee has covered considerable ground and. has seen nearly two-thirds of the Senators — and Representatives. Assurances of support’ have come from all sides, and the committees now appears sanguine that the act will be«- come a law. THE HOLDOVER AMENDMENT. Chief Harrigan and the Police Board will . strongly urge the amend- offered by Senotor Stone to what is known as the ‘‘holdover’’ law. Un- der the present act the Police Department of the State can only hold suspects twenty hours. This, it is agreed, is not sufficient in- cities. like §t. Louis and Kansas City, asit often takes thirty-six, even forty-eight hours: te find the prosecuting witnesses to itden- tify the suspects. The St. Louis depart-. ment argues that the work of apprehending criminals and lessening crime will be greatly | facilitated by the passage of a’ forty-eight. hour law. Chief Harrigan {s looked for soon to appear before the committee and explaim why he thinks it is necessary to pass such @ measure. THE EX-CONFEDERATE HOME. -The meeting in the hall of the House of Rep- resentatives last evening in the interest of the Ex-Confederate Home was a big success, The hall was thronged and Henry A. New- man, who was assigned to speak for the Home made a strong plea for contributions. His address was humorous and pathetic in turns! and attracted the closest interest of the large gathering. The meeting was given’a very. entertaining turn by the musical features: Miss Jessie Foster of St. Louts sang ‘* Sweet Home,’’ and ‘‘Suanee River’’ in a decidedly artistic manner and received an ovation from the audience. She is a daughter _ of Maj. Emory Foster, Secretary of the Bowes: of Public Improvements, and has $. @ concert fdrnished some mental music and a band of colored jubilee — singers, brought here from Randolph County,,. ‘sanga series of plantation songs. Without a dissenting vote it was agreed in the meet-- ing that. every member and aitache of the Legislature and all State officers contribute one day’s salary towards endowing the home. Among the warmest speeches made in the meeting for the home were those of Senator” Ryors of Osage and Representative Tubbs of the same county, both of whom are extreme Republicans and members of the Grand — of the Republic. THE BUREAU OF GEOLOGY AND MINES. The Governor as ex officio President of the Board of Managers of the Bureau of Geology and Mines, submitted to the General Assem-. bly yesterday through the House, for the — board, the report of State Geologist Arthur — Winston. In his letter accompanying the report the Governor ompliments the .board on its, work and recom- mends that the State Geological Survey be eontinued as it was begun and that an increased appropriation be granted for the purpose. It is a bie- nial report which the State Geologist ~ submitsandin it he givesa history of Mis- souri geology and the progress of the present survey, which was not actually begun until - the autumn of 1889, a little over a year ago. The report covers a seventy type- written pages. It is introduced by an _his- torical sketch, in which is first given an outline of the causes leading to geological } investigation in the State. Theoperations of | the earlier geological surveys of the State then described, their methods and objects. work are analyzed and the results reached are concisely stated. During the past year the following subjects of work have received attention: 1, the coal deposits; 2, the clays, building stones, limes, sands and cements; 3, the mineral waters; 4," the zinc and lead deposits. The work on the includes inspections in 2% counties for purposes of a preliminary re- 4 rig port: clays, building stoné, etc,, 16 counties; mineral waters, 31 counties ; zinc and wr , ji counties. The work in these, last- ores was confined principally to the south- w section of the State. A ified statement of the expenditures | of the survey to dateis given, amounting to $16,147. In considering the work of the .fut- ure, the report ngly recommends an In- crease of ae tion of $26,200 for the two. ae

Mr. Littler Keeps His Promise and Makes Startling Revelations—The Session of Yesterday Continued in the Senate To- Day—An Animated Debate—The Apple- ton City Postmastership—A Hasty Mar- riage. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—The Silver Pool Investigation Committee adjourned yes- terday until Saturday, but Mr.David T. Littler of Illinois, who was mentioned asthe agent of Senator Cameron in the purchase of silver bullion, appeared at the Capital this morning, and ashe asked to be examined at once a meeting was arranged for this after- noon. Chairman Dingley opened the exam- ination with this question: -**Have you any knowledge of purchases of * gilver bullion or certificates by any pool, syn- dicate, association or by any individual dur- ing the pendency ofthe silver legislation, or since that time?’’ Mr. Littler: ‘‘I have knowledge of but two transactions. On my own account I pur- chased between $40,000 and $50,000 worth of gilver some time in the early part ofthe summer. That embraced every § transac- tion in which I was personally interested. I purchased silver exchange on Calcutta, In- dia, forthe reason that the rate of interest in New York was larger than would be required to carry exchange. No gentle- man was associateti with me in that trans- action. I bought and soldin the open mar- ket. The purchase and sale were before any legislation was had.’’ He was asked if he had purchased silver for Senator Cameron. Mr. Littler replied: small amount of silver I don’t remember the exact amount, about $100,000 worth. That was some two or three weeks after I made the purchase on my account and it was pending the silver It was before Congress had ty ee ao not ‘*‘Yes.

I did not 2k to disguise the fact that I had bought feeling that I had a right and gave as my that silver was a do it, ‘Il want you to buy some silver forme.’ I think he opened the subject, although I do not re- member about it.’’ THE SENATE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—The Senate Met at 11 o’clock in continuation of yester- Gay’s session and the Vice-President imme.- diately recognized Mr. Cockrell to proceed with his speech, pending which Mr. Gorman raised the point that there was no quorum present. During the call Mr. Chandler, who has been absent for some days, made his ap- pearance in the Senate Chamber. Only thirty-eight Senators responded, but at 11:10 the requisite number to make a@ quorum (forty-five) had put in an appearance (the last being Mr. Aldrich) and business was proceeded with. Mr. Cock- rell thereupon resumed the floor in order to continue his argument against the closure resolution. He yielded, however, to Mr.Hoar, who said that he desired to add one idea to what he had said lastevening. He regarded the pending proposition,he said, as he should if the case had arisenin the Supreme Court of the United States. There was no one who would not recognize the importance of ab- solute, free and untrammeled dis- cussion in that tribunal, that no member of court should be curtailed in stating his opinion to his brethren, orin suggesting any modification of any judgment expected to be pronounced. But if it could be con- ceived of that august tribunal that,in the case ofsome controversy about to pass into judgment affecting the interests of large por- tions of the American people and exciting their feelings, four members of. the nine should undertake to read opinions alternate- ly day after day, night afternight and week after week—one taking turns with the other and having read all the decisions which had been made since the foundation of the Government, andin that way to prevent the action of the court altogether or to postpone it until the judgment could cease to be ef- fectual,woulda nybody doubt that it would be the duty of that great tribunal to interpose and to adopt some rule that would put a limit to the length of opinions, or to the number of arguments that should be made by the minority. When Mr. Hoar had concluded his state- ment, Mr. Cockrell resumed his speech against the’ closure rule. He’ yielded the floor to Mr. Teller, who asked Mr. Aldrich how long a time he proposed toallow for debate on the closing resolution, remarking that it was rumored that some arbitrary means in the shape of a coup d’etat were to be resorted to to force a decision of the question. Mr. Aldrich said that he took it for granted that there could be no closing of debate ex- cept by the action of the Senate itself and he asked unanimous consent that the votes should be taken on the resolution and @mendments at 50’clock to-morrow. Mr. Gorman objected, and declared that the step taken by the Senate yesterday was One which overturned the whole history of the Senate, and that the decision of the pro- siding officer and the vote of the majority Were in direct opposition to every rule of the Senate and of general parliamentary daw. THE HOUSE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—Mr. Breck- enridge of Arkansas ‘caused the usual delay this morning in the approval of the Journal Dut that was finally accomplished after it had been read in full. Mr. Cooper of Indiana, rising to a question of privilege, sent to the clerk’s desk and had read a resolution offered by him on Sept. 4 last, making - certain charges against the Commissioner of Pensions and asking for a broadening of the investigation of that official. This resolution Oa _ . had been referred to the Select Commiti¢ee * £@xXamining'previous charges; and on the lith of September the chairman of that com- mittee (Mr. Morrill of Kansas) had been _ @irected to report the resolution, but he had a never performed that duty. HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORTS. _ WASHINGTON, D.

The Secretary said that he had received many similar appli- eations from all parts of the country, and that a digest of them was being made which would be forwarded to the United States Min- ister at St. Petersburg and by him transmit- ted to M. De Giers, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs. NOMINATIONS BY THE PRESIDENT, WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—The Presi- dent to-day sent the following nominations. to the Senate: Marcus W. ACHESON Of Pennsylvania, to be United States Circuit Judge for the Third Judicial Circuit. CoL. DANIEL W. FLAGLER to be Chief of Ordinance, with the rank of Brigadier-Gen- eral. W. H. Luce of Maine, Collector of Cus- toms forthe district of Waldonorough, Me. First Lieut. H. D. SmituH of Massachu- setts, to be a Captain in the Revenue Service of the United States, THE APPLETON POSTMASTERSHIP. ' WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—Ex-State Senator Sheldon of Missouri left for home yesterday with the assurance from the Assistant Postmaster-General that Capt. Hodgen would be appointed Post - master at Appleton City, Mo. Opposed to this gentleman was James Hilton, who was backed by United States Attorney Neal of Osceola, a Harrison delegate tothe Chicago convention. After Senator Shelden departed, sure that his man would win, the matter was forwarded to the President, where Attorney Neal had fixed things, and Capt. Hodgen’s name was superceded by Mr. Neal’s man, James Hilton. ‘‘A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,’’ is what Senator Sheldon will realize about the time he reaches Missouri. A HASTY WEDDING. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—The marriage of Mr, Morton Mitchell of Boston and Mrs. George 8S. Ladd of San Francisco, was the sensation of last evening after the fact be- came known. The greatest secrecy had been maintained over the arrangements and cir- cumstances prevented the two or three friends who were invited from being present. The marriage took place at St. John’s Church at 6:30 o’clock, and only the small waiting wedding party and three newspaper writers were present. The Rev. Dr. Douglass escorted the groom and his best man, Mr. Lee Philipstothealtar. The bride came into the almost empty church leaning on the arm of Mr. Charles Warren Stoddard, and at- tended by her friend, Miss Vail of Boston,a French maid and her footman in livery. After the ceremony Mr.and Mrs. Mitchell drove back tothe Shoreham and started last night for New York, intending to sail in a couple of weeks for Europe for a tour of undetermined length. Mr. Morton Mitchell is a cousin of Vice-President Morton. Last spring the announcement of his en- gagement tothe wealthy Miss Alger, daugh- terofGen. Alger of Michigan, electrified so- ciety. The bride of last night, Mrs. Elizabeth Patterson Ladd,is the widow of George 8. Ladd of San Francisco, and has worn her weeds scarcely a year. She has been abroad until lately. Rumor hasitthat her engage- ment to Mr. Mitchell was two days old when the marriage wasset for Tuesday last, but owing to unforseen events it was postponed until last evening. Certain itisthat she did not have time toselecta gown for her wed- ding, soshe donned her first wedding dress again. CARONDELET NEWS. John Smith Searching For His Wife—The Quigley-Plate Case. Several days ago Mrs. Maggie Smith, wife of John smith. mysteriously disap- peared from her home, 1913 Market street, during the absence of her husband, who was in Chicago, as it was afterward learned, ona businesstrip. Mr. Smith, whois well- known here, having been employed as a coachman by Dr. M. C.,.. Starkioff, was in Carondelet this morning, and in- formed a POST-DISPATCH representative that he was searching for his wife. Mr. Smith said that he married the woman Dec. 23 last, at her home at Meramec Point. Mon- roe County, lll. After the wedding they came to St. Louis to live. Last week Mr. Smith was obliged to go to Chi- cago. Before he went away a brother of Mr. Smithcalled at the house on a visit. In the meantime John left, to be gone four or fiVe days. His brother James remained at the house, During John’s ab- sence Mrs. Smith had her brother-in-law arrested on a charge of disturbing her peace. The fellow was heavily fined and sent to the Work-house. Mrs. Smith then left for parts unknown. Her husband _=sire- turned last Sunday, and was _ surprised to find the house deserted and the where- abouts of his wife unknown: The neighbors were unable to throw any light on her dis- appearance. Mr. Smith proceeded at once to his home in Kimswick, Mo,, thinking that his wife was stopping with his folks.: When he arrived at his. broth fhouse and learned that she had not been there the man was almost crazed by grief. The following morning he dispatched his brother Charles across the river to the home of his wife to ascertain whether she was there. The boy returned with the informa- tion that she was not at home, although her father knew where she was. For some unaccountable reason he refused to tell and accused Smith of deserting his daughter. After considerable inquiry into the matter, Smith wrote his father-in-law to meet him in Carondelet this morn- ing, where he would explain the case. The old gentleman promised that he would, but he failed to appear. Stories have been circulated that Smith defrauded the woman out of money and that he deserted her. These statements, Mr. Smith says, were gotten up by some malicious persons wishing him harm and are the cause of his wife remaining away from him. Justice Meegan rendered his decision in the Qugley-Plate case late last evening in favor of the claimants, for $250. As stated in the Wednesday issue of this paper, Quigley & Co. sued the Holden Water and Interstate Gas companies for $250 and interest, amounting in full to $276.25, for a patent filter, which was sold them for $750; $500 of this was paid. Theo. Plate, President of the gas and water companies of Holden, Mo., failing to liquidate the debt, action was brought against the companies in Justice Meegan’s court. The justice was unable to ascertain whether the companies involved were to pay for the filter within a specified time and therefore gave judgment only forthe balance due Quigly & Co., which amounted to $250. The Germania Turnverein will give its annual mask ball to-morrow evening at Turner Hall. Mr. G. Louis Kramer, a well-known young business man of this locality, died Wednes- day evening after a prolonged illness. The feceased was 26 yearsof age and was con- nected withthe Kramer Boot & Shoe Co. of Carondelet. The funeral will take place Sun- day at 2:30 o’clock from his late home, 7822 Ivory avenue, to Will’s Cemetery. Lieut. Dower of Company H was elected First Lieutenant of fhe company last evening and Sergt. John Sheehey Second Lieutenant. The election began shortly after 8 o’clock and by 8:80 the result was found as cited above. The election was conducted very quietly. The Southern Electric Railway Co. will operate the Carondelet branch of its road with electric cars to-morrow. Mr. John Renaud received word this morn- ing that the body of his son John, who died in Leadville, Colo., Sunday evening, would ar- rive in St. Louis on Saturday. The funeral will take place Monday at 2 o’clock from the family residence, 7106 Minnesota avenue. Judgment to a Fish Company. A. ©. L.

IT WAS A MISTAKE. The Strike of the Employes of the Chi- cago & Erie. A CONFERENCE BETWEEN THE STRIKERS AND OFFICIALS OF THE ROAD. The Men Were Told That Scott’s Dismissal Was to Mark the Beginning of a Whole- sale Disctharge—Likely to Be Settled Soon—A Big Miners’ Strike Impending —Thousands Involved — Demand for Eight Hours. CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 23.—General Manager Tucker of the Chicago & Erie Railroad said in an interview: ‘‘Thereis no prospect of any change inthe situation for twenty-four or forty-eight hours yet. - We are ing prep- arations, however, to put the wheels in mo- tion again, and I think we will have no trou- ble in running the road without Mr. Scott. It is hardly probable, however, that any trains will be moved to-day.’’ ACTS OF LAWLESSNESS. The first symptoms of lawlessness in the Chicago & Erie strike were manifested at Burlington last night. The engine drawing a passenger train was disabled at that point, and had to be sent tothe shops. Three other passenger trains Were also stopped at Hunt- ington by a mob, according to General Man- ager Tucker, who says a number of telegraph operators aae acting in bad faith, and that several wires have been cut. A CONFERENCE, The Grievance Committee of the striking Chicago & Erie Railway conductors and train dispatchers Called on General Manager Tucker this morning, and are now in confer- ence with him. PEACE IN SIGHT. 8 Chief Clark of the Order of Railway Con- ductors and a committee of strikers, who came up from Huntington, Ind., late last night, have been in conference since 9 o’ clock this morning with Vice- President Thomas, General Manager Tucker and other officials of the Chicago &Erie No conclusion has yet been reached, but the prospects are that the strike will be settled to-day or to-morrow. It ap- pears that there has been a misunderstand. ing between the officials and men from the first. Chief Clark,who is aman of more than ordinary intelligence, said to a reporter at noon: ‘*The men have understood tnat when Scott was suspended there was a direct promise on the part of the company that he would be re- instated. Ihave convinced Mr. Tucker that they were justified in believing this from the information that came to them. They were told that all the old Chicago & Atlantic men were to be discharged and that Scott’s dismissal Was simply the beginning. They did not doubt that the company had broken faith with themin Scott’s case, and that they were being tricked, I cannot teil who made these representations tO the men, but we have proved that to the entire satisfaction of the officers of the road. We learn from them that no such promise was made to Scott, and they have no intention of get- ting rid of the old employes as alleged. This, I am confident, will bring about an amicable understanding. This committee has no authority to accept any terms of settlement unconditionally, but we will go back to Huntington and make our report, and there is no doubt that our recom- mendations willbe acted upon. Ofcourse, I cannot say positively what our report will be, as the conference is not yet ended,’’ A Big Miners’ Strike Coming. PITTSBURG, Pa., Jan. 23.—The miners of the United States have just ccmpleted their plans for the greatest industrial battle ever inau- guratedin America. The conflict between the miners and the mine-owners for eight hours will take place on the Ist of May, and willinvolve 150,000 men. The above state- ment was made last night by W. J. Dillon, United States organizer of the American Federation of Labor. Continuing he said: **In the States of Dilinois, Alabama, Tennes- see, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio there are at least 75,000 miners. In the anthracite region of Pennsylvania there are 25,000 miners. Ontheriver and railroads in the Pittsburg district there are nearly 12,- 000 men. Upin Clearfield and the surround- ing counties there are 10,000 more. In the aggregate we figure on about 150,000 miners in the United States. Although miners are generally paid by the bushel they desire to place a limit on their working hours.’’ TO STOP RATE CUTTING. A Local Passenger Association to Control Eastbound Rates. This morning at 11 o’clock a meeting was held at the Southern Hotel for the purpose of organizing a local passenger department con- nected with the Central Traffic Association. The object of the new combination Is to se- cure the maintenance of rates within the ter- ritory tributary to St. Louis, and to enforce the observance of the rulesofthe Central Traffic Association. There have been a num- ber 6f complaints in referente to secret cut- ting of rates,especially in the way of allowing mileage books to fall into improper hands. A new set of rules and regulations in reiation to the passenger business eastward is under consideration, and will be thoroughly dis- cussed at the meeting. To-day nothing be- yond a general discussion and interchange of views took place, but nothing definite was decided upon. A Peculiar Fatality. Coroner Woods held an inquestin East St. Louis this morning which developed a most peculiar fatality. It was held over the re- mains of Mrs. Margaret Allen, who, as stated in yesterday’s issue, died suddenly early in the morning at her home on Collinsville and Pennsylvania avenues. Forsome reason the true facts in the case were withheld from Undertaker Kurrus, to whom the death was reported: He was simply informed that the woman had been found dead inher bed, and that the cause ofthe death was not known. Thus it was that the fact of the woman having died from strangulation was withheld from the public untillate in the day. At a late hour a report was circulated to the effect that Mrs. Allen had been strangled by a handkerchief she wore tied about her neck. She had left her bed during the night and fallen in a faint. The handkerchief catch- ing on a door latch caused strangulation. These statements were. corroborated at the inquest and the Coroner’s jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Had Been Struck With a Poker. Aman giving his hame as John Millet was found by Officers O’Brien and Ed Fox on the Levee, near Market street, at 2:45 o’clock this affernoon suffering from a severe scalp wound. The fellow was taken to the Chestnut Street Police Station and informed Sergt. Sharpenburg that a woman named Kate Suhdberg, who keeps a _ saloon at No. 8 Market. street, had _ struck him with a heavy iron poker. Millet, who was suffering from the wound, was sent to the Dispensary. Mrs. Sundberg was subsequently arrested and held at the Chestnut Street Police Station. She claims that she struck Millet in self-defense.

NO INDICATIONS THAT THE FORMER HOSTILES WILL CAUSE TROUBLE. Gen, Miles Confident That He Will Suc- ceed in Quietly Disarming the Indians —Bad Management and Eastern Sen- timentality—The OCoaxing Process—A Clear View. From Our Staff Correspondent. PINE RIDGE AGENCY, 8. D., Jan. 28, via RUSHVILLE, Neb.—The situation to-day is un- changed with no indications, to- day, of any further or, at least, serious trouble with the hostile Indians. Pow-wows between the chiefs and Gen. Miles are held frequently, apd the General is now convinced that all pros- pects of war are over. The review of the troops yesterday pleased the red- men very much and some of them are urging the officers to holdanother. The liberal issue of provisions has put the In- dians in excellent * humor. Gen. Miles, notwithstanding others’ opinions to the contrary, ts satisfied that he will have no trouble disarming the Indians. Prepara tions are being made for sending a delegation of chiefs to Washington in charge of Special Agent Lewis. D. H. ROBERT. THE OKANOGAN INDIANS. SPOKANE Fa.Luts, Wash., Jan. 23,—Brig.- Gen. Curry, W. N. G., telegraphs from Coolee City that he has had a conference with seventy Indians, including all the chiefs in Okanogan County, and that they agreed to stop dancing or carrying of arms except when hunting. The Indians alsd promise to aid the Federal authorities in bringing to justice the persons who sell liquor | to the Indians. Gen. Curry thinks there will be no further trouble. A CLEAR PICTURE. BAD MANAGEMENT AND SENTIMENTALITY RE- SPONSIBLE FOR HUMILIATING CONDITIONS. Special Correspondence Post-DIsPATCH, PINE RIDGE AGENCY, 8. D., Jan. 19. Now that hostilities have been closed and the arrangements made for the usual trip of the chiefs to Washington, the consequences of therecent Indian revolt are being considered, and since the exciting possjbilities of battles and skirmishes no longer occupy attention, the desolation and devastation of the terri- tory presents a new and quite as hor- riblea subject. One yearago, nine Indians out of every ten lived in houses. To-day, every one is back in the tepees where they lived twenty years ago and in their most barbarous days. Homes have been destroyed, furniture and farming implements broken to pieces out of pure deviltry, and thousands .of beeves killed and wasted. And ajl these evils can be directly traced to the ismanagement of affairs by the Indian Bureau. The results will long be felt, and the most woeffil of them allisthe blow which has been given tothe advancement of the Indians toward civiliza- tion. The spirit of peace, the lessons of in- dustry which were being nourished and de- veloped with such patient care have been ut- terly destroyed, and all the work of years will have to be done over again. When the Indian was persuaded to abandon his tepee and live in a house, a long step} towards civilization wasmade. He ceased to be a wanderer, he was given a local habita- tion. The disposition to improve and beautify this home would naturally follow, and it was beginning to develop. The houses were not grand or magnificent. They were mere hovels, shacks or hackels they are called, built of logs plastered in with mud, some made of sun-dried bricks,similar to the adobe of Mexico, with slat roofs, on which a foot or more of earth has been thrown to fill up the cracks, and tall weeds grow upon them in the summer and dry up inthe winter, making a rugged, dark fringe on the roof-tops which is not elegant, though it is picturesque. The floors are of earth and disorder prevails within, but compared with the hideous, ill- smelling, smoky interiors of the tepees, they are palatial. Stillitwasa home, a definite place of abode, andin many of these houses rude attempts at comfortable turnishing and adorfiment were made. | INDIAN HOMES. American Horse had his house tined inside with cloth, a photograph of himself, neatly framed, hungupon the wall. There Was a clock and a rocking-chair, a cooking stove, and the bunks on which they slept were raised instead of being on the ground. The mode of life of the white people was imitated so far as the means of the man would permit. But because American Horse was friendly the Brules went to this deserted home, tore down the cloth linings,«#hrew his photograph on the floor and shot holes through it, and utterly demolished every piece of furniture the house contained. They say now that the Indians are going home. The Indians are only moving their tepees from the agency back to a barren and desolate spot where their homes stood. They have nothing to go to now. Their homes have been ruined, their ponies driven off, their cattle killed, the reservation laid in waste. There is nothing that equals the waste of this land. Bands of hostiles shat cattie, skinned one side and took out the ten- derloins, then left the rest to rot on the prairies or to furnish a feast for coyotes. Riding by a little ranch they shot what ponies they did not want simply to kill, and wher. ever a ranch was now there are dead ponies, dead cattle and waste. Those who have any interest in the welfare of the Indians sin- cerely regret that many oil them have not been killed, for those who are here and those who are competent to speak say with one accord that if the indian desperadoes had been hunted down and killed as white desperadoes would have been the peaceful Indians would not have been djsturbed, but because of a peculiar policy, which says that no Indian must be killed no matter what he does,even if a whole tribe shAll be ruined by him, all the Sioux have been nin agents ss pillaged. ROTECTING DESPERADOBS. The ienens of the Indians gueeors no oe peculiar conduct than that which their treatment after the to the Mauvois were to come to agency in tepees. Savina sae here, the was tocoax in a lot of fof the hostiies Prescriptions accurately filled. a call. ore were making expeditions through the reservation, burning, Killing, slaughtering— and in what position were the friendltes placed? They were here in answer to the summons, and the re- ward for their obedience was _ that their homes and their property were left as tempting baits to the firebrand and the bullet. They wanted to go back and protect it; no, they must stay here. They wanted the sol- diers to protect their homes; no, if the sol- diers went after the hostiles they might meet and an Indian might be killed, which was against the policy of the Government. And 1so the friendlies were left here and their homes thrown unprotected into the hands of the hostiles, who burnt and pillaged them, in many cases, notably that of American Horse, simply because their owners were friends to the whites. These Indians realize now that friendship for white men has been a pretty costly tie for them. THE COAXING POLICY. The coaxing procees was continued and the result of even this mild and timid policy in dealing with such menis written in the his- tory of the battles of Wounded Knee and the Mission and Capt. Kerr’s engagement. Then a complaint went up from the East about the killing of squaws. No one was outraged at the death of Capt. Wallace, or Lieut. Mann, or thirty-four brave private soldiers, buteven here there are those who complain in loud tones about the killing of the Indians, those who say they wish every soldier at Wounded Knee had been killed. And in connection with the story of the death of the squaws, it may be well to say here that Father Craft has obtained the tes- timony ofa scout, who says he was among the tepees when thelIndians opened fire at at Wounded Knee and that two squaws who were shot dead fellagainst him before the soldiers had fireda single shotand he saw Others fall. IT WAS A GOVERNMENT SURRENDER. The coaxing process was continued, so were the depredations. The borders north of here were excited and fights between cowboys and Indians grew frequent, But it is said that the coaxing was successful. In one way it has been. It has brought the Indians in here, but the Government has surrendered, not the Indians. They insisted that they should draw their rations forall the time they were on the warpath and they drew them. The Brules insisted that they Y should remain at the Pine Ridge Agency, and those who wish to do so remain. They in- sisted that they should have their annuities at once; they will get them between the ist and the 5th of February. The chiefs insisted on going to Washiugton, and to Washington @hey go. Gen. Miles demanded two things; first, that the Ogalalas and the Brules should not camp together. They refused to separate, or rather the Brules did, and the Ogalalas and Brules are camped together now and have been ever since they arrived. He insisted that they should surrender their arms; they have surrendered just what they pleased, which was a very few, and still have good arms. Those who know them best and who have talked with them on this very subject say that they will not give upall their arms nor a quarter of them withoutafight. The young men retain their hostile bearmge, and those who come intocamp come with their faces well covered with their blankets. These are the conditions of their return, and they do not feel that they have been whipped. One who lives among them, and whose name I would like to give if I was not forbidden, said only last night that the hostiles were proud of the end of the war, and resented as an in- sult the suggestion that they had been de- feated. Their view is that they want peace, but on their own terms, and that peace they have. The evil effect of this is apparent at once. ALMOST NAKED. The Sioux have not yet received their win- ter supply of clothing, and nothing but the goodness of their Messiah or the white man’s in sending the mildest winter Dakota has ever known has saved the.poor creatures from freezing. They may be seen on the roads here, a pitiful plenty of them, with nothing to wear but a pair of trousers and a coat, ora breech-clout, cotton leggings and a blanket, and some of them, dozens of them, have nothing but thin cotton cloths for blankets. This was one of their complaints, but com- plaining did not bring them clothing, so they began to rob, pillage and murder. Thearmy came and they were promised their clothing at once if they would stop their robbery ,their pillaging and their murdering. The Indian draws conclusions just as the white man does, and the conclu- sion he draws from this is that when the Government falls to keep its promise, all he hasto doisto sacka few villages, killa few settlers and hewill gef what he wants andin additiona trip to Washington. And this evil effect is not confined tothe hostiles. Among the Indians thereis a constant dis- cussion. Some arefor peace, some for dis- order, and now the hostile ones are given an opportunity to say to the peaceful ones, ‘*Yes, you area friendtothe white man, but you would not have had your blankets, your cloth, you would not have had your rations if we had not fought for them,’’ and the logic of this argument Is as clear to the Indian as it is to a white man. . But the pity ofit allis that the friendly re- lations between the white men and the In ans have been disturbed, and, to use the dian figure of speech, like water that is mud- dy, ittakesa longtime to settle. For thir- teen years there has been no fighting with the Sioux. They had begun to think that the white man was not altogether an effemy ; that perhaps they could trust him, and those who wish to help the Indians were by this confi- dence enabled to influence them. Now that is gone. One overshadowing impression has been fixed in their minds—the killing of . Big Foot’s band. That. will be their date for years. Children born this year will say twenty years hence, when asked their age, ‘‘I was born the year Big Foot was Killed.’’ The strongest impression in the mind of every Sioux now and for years to come is and will be the recollection of ‘a battle with the whites, and while that insts it is a bar to confidence. ; In conclusion, it is only fair to that there is not a soul here who holds either Gen. Miles or Gen. Brooks ey tor the pol- icy which ts universally condemned. It is all laid at the door of the authorities at Wash- ington, and the sentimentalists in the East. , ? DENT Ho. ROBERT.

Trautner Passes Away, and Several More of the Men Who Were Almost Suftocated Are In a Dangerous Con- dition—Mrs. Margaret Allen’s Death. The tpird victim of the Marissa (Ill.) mine disaster of last Wednesday forenoon died this morning. Hisinjuries were considered dangerous. from _ the beginning, but it was not thought that he would die. The man’s name was John Trautner, and his injuries were internal. He was not bruised outwardly, nor were any bones broken. The two men who passed away previous to Trautner were Wm. Dobson and and Wm, Stroker. the accident, despite the efforts of the com- pany to keep them away. Coroner Woods yesterday took charge of the bodies of Dob- gon and Stroker, and a jury decided that the accident was caused by a too heavy blast. No mention was made of a possible lack of ventilation and it is highly probable that the investigation has gone as far as it ever will. The officials of the company are getting rather charry about giving out any further information. From the latest information received in East St. Louis John Cooper is reported to be in -a serious condition, and it is probable that he will die. Thomas Briggs is also seriously hurt, but it is thought that he will recover. Wm. Harris is still suf- fering from internal brui The great danger in his case lies in the that in- flammation may setin, when death is nearly sure to énsue. Every attention is being given the wounded men. Mr. Isaac Johnson, who operates the mine, was in East St. Louis last night, but went back to the scene of the disaster. He said that the accident was altogether owing to the carelessness of the workmen, as they al- lowed which exploded with such terrific force at the first provocation. He says that the mines will be in ap- eration again Monday. This fire damp, the gentieman says, is a most powerful explo- sive, and that it is a wonder that more men were not hurt.

It is not his fault nor that of his opponent that no graves were dug in Walsenberg yesterday. J. D. Harden runs a saloon between the town and the mines. Heand Ford have not been on good terms for some time. The two men were shooting craps Wednesday. night, and quarreled over the stakes. They adjourned to the bar for a drink and the quarrel was renewed. Both men began firing rapidly at each other. They were so close that each one was trying to knock the other's gun out of the way and, as a consequence, the bullets flew in every direction. The bystanders who were in the room at the, time began crawling under the tables, hiding behind the bar, and one man attempted to crawl into the-stove, but was prevented by the red-hot fire. After the smoke of battle had cleared off it was dis- covered that Harden had been shot in the shoulder, the ball going through and coming out at the back, and Was also shot in the hand. Ford was hit In the foot and was badly burned about the face with powder. Both men were arrested. Both guns had seen service before, the one used by Ford is the one with which he shot Jesse James and which he has carried with him ever since that event, some ten years ago. Harden’s re- volver is the one which Pete Foley used when he shot Jack Efwards some months ago. a A Notorious ( heck Shover. JOLIET, ll., Jan. 23.—A Rochester (N. Y.) detective left this city last night with a no- torious check ‘‘shover,’’ Charles Hebert, alias Theodore Mienstermann, alias Carl Hebert. Hebert was sent up from Peoria for grand larceny for one year and his term ex- pired yesterday. The detective was waiting at the prison doors for him, -Hebert’s plan 4~was to deposit maney in a bank in the presence of some friend, then go around and igsue checks, being introduced by some one well known who knew he had money on de- posit, or by a letter from the bank, then draw out his deposit and skip. At Peoria he got $2,000 in this manner. He then went to Rochester, N. Y., where he secured a large amount and fled to Europe. He had previous- ly beaten business men in New York, Hobo- ken, Philadelphia and Baltimore. He re- turned to America and was caught in Phila- delphia and brought to Illinois. There are enough counts against himin the Empire State to fill out the balance of his life in prison. Banker Horner’s Case. NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—In the case of Edward H. Horner, the Wall street banker who was arrested on a bench warrant from Spring- field, Ill., for violation of the postal law in sending lottery circulars through the mails, Judge Brown in. the United States Court to- day gave a decision that the accused must be held forremoval. Time was given Horner’s counsel to sue out a writ of habeas corpus, and Horner was turned over to the United States marshal. Released From Prison. RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 23.—Charles E. Cross and Samuel C. White, President and Cashier of the Raleigh National Bank, have been par- doned out of the penitentiary by Gov. Fowler. In 1887 they took $20,000 and fled to Canada with it. They were arrested and convicted. Since their imprisonment their friends have been at work and the pardons were event- ually secured. Thé action of the Governor in this case seems to give general satisfaction. The Fraudulent Divorce Laws. NEw YORK, Jan. 23.—Wm. H. Buttner and W. D. Hughes, the two men who have been issuing fraudulent divorces, were up for trial yesterday and their cases continued un- til Wednesday of next week. Buttner refused to plead guilty to the two charges of larceny and forgery, and in consequence the case was laid over. LATER. Wm. H. Buttner, the fraudulent divorce lawyer, withdrew his plea of not guilty for forgery to-day, and substituted a plea of guilty. He was remanded for sentence. Tom Leavis Acquitted. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 28.—Tom Leavis, a well-known horseman, was tried in the United States Court yesterday one the charge of passing counterfeit money and was ac- quitted. The principal «prosecuting witness gave testimony which contradicted what he had previously said to the Grand-jury. When the District Attorney demanded an explana- tion the witness said his life would béin danger if he repeated the testimony that he gave before the Grand-jury. He was at once sent to jail for perjury. A Fatal Shooting Affray. ABERDEEN, Miss., Jan. 23.—News has just reached here of a tragedy between City Mar- ‘shal F. B.

CHICAGO, Ill., Jar. 23.—The first spadeful of earth taken oug for the Exposition work will be dugon the lake front next Tuesday. The Grounds and Buildings Committee of the World’s Fair will, in accordance with a resolution of the directors passed Jan. 21, formally take possession of the Lake Front Park. Preliminaries will then be taken to erect upon the Lake Front Park and fronting upon Michigan avenue boulevard, a tempor- ary structure for the use of the construction bureau of the World’s Columbian Exposition, said building to be of suitable dimensions for the use of those who will be employed in superintending the construction of the builld- ings to be placed upon Lake Front Park for exposition purposes. A morning paper says: ‘‘Tuesday night the World’s Fair Directory, with much enthusi- asm, voted to place four buildings and a water palace in the lake front. Now it dis- covers, or will discover shortly, that accord- ing tothe system of classification which it has adopted and the agreement entered into between it and tlie National Commission, there is nothing to put in three of the build- ings. The Directory agreed with the National Commission last fall that everything except Department ‘K’ of the classification should go to Jackson Park. Department ‘K’ em- braces the fine arts—plastic, pictorial and decorative. These are the only exhibits that may go on the Lake front andthe art palace will be more than large enough for the pur- pose. This leaves the building for decorative art, the music hall and the building for elec- trical displays without any exhibits. They are all provided for in J ackson Park.’’ THE REPORT IS TRUE. B. P. Hutchinson Will Do No More Trad- ing On His Own Account. CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 23.—The veteran Board of Trade operator B. P. Hutchinson has made the following statement in reply to published reports to the effect that he had ceased to op- erate on the board: ‘*I have not retired from business. I did, two or three months ago, decide that I would give up trading on my own account, and that I would wind up that part of my business with the end ofthe year. I had nearly all of it closed up by Jan.1. Thereis only a little outstanding, and that simply . be- cause it was not convenient to settle it right away. When that is cleared off I don’t intend to do any more trading on my own account, but I am stillin the commission business, andI have done a good deal of it this month. this month. I don’t see why I should not keep on doing it. I’m justas well able todo it now as I ever was. I didn’t Know that there is anything the matter with me. Iam not feeling quite as wellasI have felt, brut I suppose that is the result of growingold, It won’t interfere with my business.’’ DISCOVERED IN TIME.

It was the largest audience the Entertainment Hall has ever held and it was drawn there by the graduating exercises of one of the largest classes the High-school has turned out, fifty-eight young ladies and fourteen young men having earned their diplemas which they were given to-day. The graduating class occupied the front of the stage and the background was formed by the remainder ofthe High School pupils. The essays, orations, choruses and readings were all first class and were gener- ously applauded. : THE PROGRAMME. The programme opened with a chorus by the school, ‘‘How Happy Are We,’’ which was followed by an oration, ‘‘Individualis Make Society,’’ by Walter ©. Guels. In this Mr. Guels referred to the fads, the inner cir- cles, the Four Hundred, and attempts of sets to form what is termed society and noted the short lives of such society, and the long and continuous life of the individual society. Miss Katie Gertrude Lally read an essay on ‘ ‘The Ruins of Time,’’ a piece full of regrets for what has been lost to the present time by the wear and tearof the ages on nature and the handiwork of man. ‘*The Hunter’s Farewell,’’ a chorus by the school, displayed the excellent training of the pupils in singing in union and in parts. An essay read by Miss Ella Lewis on ‘‘Solitude’’ was an excellent composition and told that solitude did not always bring sorrow but that there was a grandeur, a communion with the spirit , and a happiness which only in solitude alone could one experience. An oration ‘‘Ten Obligations of Citizens,’’ delivered by George Harkness, was worthy of a statesman in picturing the duty a citizen owed the State asa member of it and _ the protection the governing power and the influence the individual possessed under the grand system of the United States Gov- ernment. >

In- stead of profiting by his loans of State money and running away, as Treasurer BURKE of Louisiana did, with the proceeds of theft or embezzlement, he has impoverished himself and will proba- bly be made to feel the severity of the law. A system which makes the illicit use of public money a possible object brings treasury rings into nominating conven- tions and subjects a Treasurer to machine pulls which even honest men are not always strong enough to resist. ee a THE Arkansas House by a vote of 66 to 22 —exactly 3 to 1—followed the example of Alabama in refusing to make any appro- priation for a State exhibit at Chicago’s Fair till the fate of the force bill is de- cided. It is believed in the South that the passage of that bill isa deliberate attempt to create there a situation which will repel immigrants, and that it would be a useless waste of money to get up any exhibition of Southern resources at Chicago while that measure is in force. Itis openly declared in Southern Legislatures that such hostile sectional legislation means a sectional Columbian Fair, instead of a national one. _ >_> ~~ —4___—— A STATEMENT of the profits of the Pitts- burg iron firms in 1890, carefully tabulated by an expert, Mr. N. DALE of that city, puts the profits of thirty-one firms named, atan aggregate of $20,603,000. The firms whose profits amounted to $500,000 or more include Singer, Ninick & Co., $500,000; Miller, Metcalfe, Parkin & Co., $500,000; the Spang Steel & Iron. Works, $600,000; Shoenberger & Co., $750,000; Spang, Chal- fant & Co., $800,000; A. M. Byers & Co., $900,000; Oliver Lron & Steel Co. , $1,500,000; Park Bros. &Co:, $2,000,000; Pennsylvania Tube-works, $2,000,000; Jones & Laughlin, $2,400,000; Carnegie,. Phipps & Co.. and Carnegie Bros., $5,000,000. Such profits show where the ‘‘fat’’ comes from to oil the wheels of tariff legislation and who gets the benefit of such legislation. And WILL DIGNIFY LABOR. MECHANICS’ EXCHANGE AND THE PRO- POSED MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. - , — Too Many Lawyers and Not Enough Me- - chanics Graduated From. Our High Schools and Colleges—The State Asked to Establish a Mechanical School. Senator Espenschied introduced into the State Senate at.Jefferson City yesterday a bill for the establishment and maintenance of a mechanical trade schoolin St. Louis under a board of commissioners appointed by the ‘Governor. The bill was drafted by Mr. Henry Feueruach of the St. Louis Mechanics’ Ex- change, and is substantially the same bill that was drawn up by Mr. Patrick Mulcahy and introduced into the State Legislature two years ggo. There was no organized effort to push the Mulcahy bill through, and it was allowed to sleep inthe hands of acommittee until the close ofthe session, but the Feuerbach bill has been indorsed by the St. Louis Mechanics’ Exchange and several other influential bodies, including the Kansas City Mechanics’ Exchange, the St. Joe Mechanics’ Exchange and the St. Louis Merchants’ Exchange, are expected to give it their support, and the friends of the measure have little doubt of its enactment as a law. A memorial to the Legislature to pass the bill has also been adopted by the St. Louis Mechanics’ Ex- change and will be sent to the other ex- changes named in a few days. SECRETARY WALSH EXPLAINS. ‘‘The bill provides that the school shall be under the supervision of a board of five com- missioners,’’ said Mr. Richard Walsh, the Secretary of the Mechanics’ Exchange, this morning, ‘‘who areto be master mechanics themselves and receive their appointment from the Governor. The school is to be located in St. Louis, and is to be open to young men of this State between the ages of 14and 21 free of charge, subject of course to certain rules of admission to be adopted by the commissioners. The bill calls for an ap- propriation of $150,000 for the purchase of a building site, the erection of a building and the purchase of materials and books. The idea is to establish a State school here some- thing like Col. Auchmoty’s private institute in New York city. That is thelargest and best known trade school in the country, although : there is-one in Philadelphia managed in con- nection with the Mechanics’ Exchange of that city, which is doing splendidly. Bos- ton is also to have i one, and it will not be long before manual training is taught in every school in thecountry. I never visited either the Philadelphia or the New York school myself, but I have read con- siderable 6 ones it, and there are now three St. Louis boys attending the Auchmoty school. Fred Ables has a son there, and so has D. J. Collins, and the boys are both in the plumbing department. That school takes boys from any part of the world, and I believe nearly every State in the Union is represented there, but, of course, it is a pay school. our proposed school will bDefree and the attendance limited to residents of this State. The scholars will, of course, haveto find thefr own boarding outside of the institution. Association of Builders, which will meet in New York City from Feb. 9 to 14, will devote one day to an inspection of the Auchmoty Institute, and we willall know more about it when we get back. St. Louis is to be repre- sented atthe National Convention by Dele- gates Thos. J. Kelly, Anthony Ittner, Wm. A. Rutter, J. B. Legg, Wm. M. Anderson, Pat- rick Mulcahy and Wm. J. Baker, and per- haps also by President McGrath, Vice-Presi- dent O’Connor, Joseph L. Guechy, J. D. Fitzgibbon and myself.’’ PRESIDENT M’GRATH FAVORS IT. Mr. Patrick McGrath, President of the Me- chanics’ Exchange, heartily indorses the scheme. ‘‘Thereisnodoubt in my mind as to its practicability, and I see no good reason why the bill should not be passed. The school should have been established years ago and the longer it is put off the worse it will be for the city. Weneed good builders and good mechanics of all kinds, and I don’t know of any one thing that would prove of more ben- efit to St. Louis and the State atlargethan a manual training school such as is proposed by the bill introduced into the Senate yester- day by Mr’. Espenschied.’’ FATHER OF THE ORIGINAL BILL. ‘*] indorse all that has been said by the gentleman,’’ said ex-President Mulcahy and the father of the original bill two years ago. ‘*‘We are sadly tn need of just such a school, an institution that will turn out intelligent mechanics. We always have plenty of col- leges that graduate men for the pro- fessions, an@ what we want now is an institu- tian to dignify manual labor. The idea is to make intelligent mechanics, to give them a good high school education, and along with it practical instructions in some trade, car- pentering, bricklaying, iron working, plumb- ing, plastering or some other trade. Most of the young men turned out of our schools now look down upon such work, and the way to avoid that mistake is to dignify labor, to show to the world that there is no nobler calling than that of a practical builder, for instance, and that a mechanic as well as a lawyer or a doctor may be an intelligent man and have a good educa- tion. Our objection to the Manual Training School is that it is too general in its instruc- tion, not devoting enough instruction tothe trades followed by the great body of our me- chanics.’’ The course of study for the proposed school and rules of management and other details are to be left tothe Board of Commissioners. THE KENDALS IN “THE SQUIRE.” An Excellent Performance and Splendid Audience—Chat of the Theaters. The Kendal Co. presented Pinero’s play, ‘*The Squire,’’ to asplendid audience at the. Olympic last evening.’ The drama may be calledan idyllic romance of English country life. Kate Verity, the daughter of an English ‘Squire, has been left an impoverished estate on the death of her father, which she manages herself and by her gentle goodness wins the :ove and admiration of her tenants andthe people of the neighboring village. Lieut. Thorndyke, whois stationed with his regiment near the farm, wins her love, and his mother being bitterly opposed to his marrying, persuadeg her to consent to a secret marriage. The natural result compels her to insist on the publication of the wedding which is made the more immediately neces- sary by the increasing gossip of the towns- folk, but just. as he consents Kate jJearns through the minis- ter of the Parish Church that Thorndyke has a wife who was thought to be dead, but had concealed the truth in order to give the Liéitenapt as much trouble as possible. This, of course, pluhges both into the deepest distress, and givesan opportunity to display The National | | and an unconventionality of treatment, which is bold, but pleasing. The desperate love of Gilbert Hythe Lend a acterization which marks Pinero’s work is, found in this play, particularly im the parts ang the Rev: Paul of Gunnion, a farm hand, Dormer. The performance was evenly excellent throughout and was distinguished by pains- taking work and artistic harmony. There is asubtle but distinct personal charm in Mrs. Kendal’s comedy and hgr portrayal of the lighter moods of women, which was clearly manifested in much of her work as Kate Verity last evening. It is a combina- tion of gentle repose, well-poised bearing, winning womanly qualities and bright intell!- gence, Which finds the right action and ex- presses the shade of thought or emotion with quick accuracy. Her objectionable manner- isms were not so pronounced as on Tuesday evening, and her work for the most part was thoroughly artistic. It was in: her more in- tense emotional scenes that she was open to criticism. The studied elaboration of her work and the use of sensational methods of expressing sorrow give the impression of unnaturalness which detracts from. the proper effect. Her grief seemed to be hyster- ical rather than heroic and is, therefore, sometimes ineffective and unpleasant. The remainder of the cast gave satisfactory results. Mr. Kendal made a fair Lieut. Thorn- dyke; the late handsome Jack Barnes was rather queerly disguised as a workman, but was satisfactory ; J. H. Dodson gave a capital characterization of Gunnison, A. M. Deni- son was excellent as Dormer, and clever work must be credited to Miss Campell and Miss Cowell. ‘*Type' Ironmaster,’’ will be repeated to- night and for the matinee to-morrow Mrs. Kendal will shine in the comedy part of Susan Hartley in ‘*‘A Scrap of Paper.’’ ‘‘The Queen’s Shilling’’ will close the week. . = * There was an excellent audience at the Actors’ Fund benefit at the Olympic Theater yesterday. The programme was so full of good things that the Kendals were not missed. The little one-act sketch of Gus Thomas’, ‘‘A Man of the World,’’ with Haworth as the Man, the second act of ‘*Lights and Shadows,’’ George Thatcher and some of his best entertainers, a solo and orchestral selections by the Olympic orches- tra,and John A. Coleman in a dance made plenty of enjoyment for the audience. The Fund benefit has become a fixed and pleasant event in the St. Louis season. The local lodge of Elks contributed $50 to the fund, and about $400 was realized altogether. 7” * > The first time ‘‘A Man of the World,’’ the clever one-act play of Mr. Thomas now being given at the Grand, was produced at the Pickwick some years ago, when the author was stillan amateur and unknown to fame. Mr. Thomas took the part of Capt. Bradley and filled it neatly.The piece has been changed somewhat since, especially in the addition of Annie Laurie and the reference to Henessey. Haworth is acapital Capt. Bradley, ard the piece makes a fine contrast for the wild tangle of ‘‘ Aunt Jack.’’ 7 * * ‘ ‘*Lights and Shadows’’ at Havlip’s repre- sents a combination of father and Sons.Chas. Gayler wrote it and his sons, Frank and Will- iam, aremanaging it. By way of pay®ng a neat tribute to their talented father the boys have a fine lithograph of him witha lst of his successful plays. The melodrama ts clever and has met with excellent success since its production several years ago. * * * One of the incidents which cause inex- tinguishable laughter at Pope’s, where Thatcher’s Minstrels are making things hum, isa scene in which Ed Marble represents an old man inthe box who has come to see the show. He breaks imto a convulsive fit of laughter at a chestnutty joke, and then makes a speech about old minstrelsy, where- upon an old-time darkey song and dance is given, and he jumps on the stage and joins in. The whole programme Is entertaining. * « * When Clara Morris essays a new emotional role, something altogether out of the ordi- nary may be anticipated, and it appears that this anticipation has been fully met in her production of Sardou’s ‘‘Odette,’’ which is the principal feature of her repertoire this season, and which she will present here next Monday evening at the Olympic. The play was a triumph for Miss Morris in San Fran- cisco. It will be given atevery performance of the week except three. ‘‘Renee de Moray’’ will be played on Wednesday afternoon, and ‘*Camille’’ Thursday and Saturday nights. The sale of seats is now in progress. When Miss Florence St. John was brought over here to conquer America in the Gaiety Theater burlesque, ‘‘Faust Up to Date,’’ and failed the managers cast about for acon- querer and naturally hit upon Kate Castleton, who will appear in the production at the Grand next week. The plece will have all the original scenery, costumes, stage effects and the original skirt dancers, May Vokes, Lydia Payne, Eleanor May andEmma Higl, in new dances, however. The burlesque is a good travesty on Goethe’s classic drama and is said to be thoroughly entertaining. Seats are now on sale for the Grand. ‘*The Little Tycoon,’’ when here two sea- sons ago, dida very large business at the Grand Opera-house,and could have remained probably another week, but such an arrange- ment could not be made. Thecompany comes this season with all the accessories that made it so popular then, and the outlook for the engagement at Pope’s next week is exceilent. The opera is tuneful and entertaining. * * * The attraction. which will follow ‘‘The White Prince’’ at the Standard next week will be the London Gatety Girls’ Burlesque Co, * The original ‘‘Pat Rooney’’ and his family will make Havlin’s resound next week with reminders of the ould sod. Mr. Gschwend, the manager of Schnaider’s Garden, has just returned from New York, where he arranged for next season’s attrac- tion. He has secured the Casino Co., now on the road, and promises a fine organization. Mr. Symonson will be the director, while Louise Eissing, George Lowery, Douglas Flint and other well-known people will be among the principals. — THE PEOPLE’S FORUM. Our Shade Trees. To the Editor of the Post: Dispatch: It has often occurred to me that the trees on our public streets should be in charge of and under the direction of a regularly appointed city officer. Either we should have a Tree Commissioner, or the duties of the Street Commissioner should include the care of our city trees. Under the present system each lot owner uses his own judgment as tothe kind, size, shape or age of the trees he will put out, utterly ignoring the. conditions of soil, or. perhaps he any trees at all. Thus many of the prettiest squares of our residence streets are very much | GEORGE HARRIS’ FAST. |THE NOVEL METHOD ADOPTED BY AN | ILLINOISAN TO SUICIDE. rt -| drama will be repeated in March, perhaps, Newbern and Alton Excited Over the Case —State Association of County Super- visors—A Democratic Scheme—Fairs— Illinois Items; NEWBERN, Ill., Jan. 23.—Considerable in- terest is still being manifested throughout this community in the case of George Harris, who persists in fasting with suicidal intent. Although twenty-six days have passed since the last morsel of food passed his lips,he is still alive. The man is evidently growing grad- ually weaker, and the ravages of hunger are beginning to tell in his appearance. His cheeks are hollow, the lips drawn, and he presents a most pitiful sight. When greeted he refuses to say a word, and gives the visitor a vacant stare. He will not allow his friends to call a physician, nor would he receive treatment were called. He complained of a bad taste in his mouth yesterday and asked for a little salt. After letting the/salt dissolve he again relaxed into the semi-stupor which has been noticeable for the past week. His friends have given up all hope of his recovery. Many think that he isnow so far gone that should he partake of food it would not save him. State Supervisors’ Meeting. SPRINGFIELD, I1,, Jan. 28.—The State Asso- Cilation of Supervision yesterday adopted resolutions favoring hard roads; the assess- ment of property at a fair cash;value; limiting the State levy to 1 per cent; the passage of an act prohibiting county boards from levying taxes for more than ® cents on the dollar; the erection of State institutions for homeless children and forthe incurably insane.

One of the Sulll- van brothers received a cut on the head, while John Holdorf had an arm broken. Tom Lowery, who was sleeping in his tent near by, was awakened by the scrimmage, and ralover to act the part of the peacemaker. He received severe wounds on the head from some blunt instrument, fromthe effects of which he will probably die. Noarrests have been made, as it is impossible to learn who did the striking in the darkness. All the par- ties are working for Contractor Weir grading the site of the Madison car-works. Venice Council, No, 145, A. F. C., initiated four new members last night and installed officers for the present term. Hon.

The Items From Alton. _ ALTON, Jan. 23.—A number of young people gave a very pleasant party last night at the residence of Miss Nellie Fish, 608 Belle street, in honor of Miss Alta Embly of Jerseyville, who Is visiting her friend, Miss Fish. The Sigma Phi Literary Society of Shurtleff College was last night entertained by Dr. A. A. rite alg President of the College, at his residence in Upper Alton. Light refreshments were served during the evening. The citizens of Upper Alton are now sert- ously considering the question of annexing that beautiful suburban little city to Alton proper. By sodoing they would enjoy the privileges of the Water Works Co. for their residences and a better fire protection, and have on their streets electric and other lights, besides many other advantages. The question seems to meet with very little oppo- sition. The addition of Upper Alton would give Alton proper a population of about 15,- 000 Lulu Beem, an employe ofthe Illinois Glass- works, while carrying a lot of bottles yester- day fell with her face in the bottles, and re- ceived a number of severe cuts that will dis- figure her face. John Bennis and Miss Lizzie Hendy were married yesterday morning by Father Tallon at St. Patrick’s Church. Hon. A. W. Hope of this city is a candidate for Circuit Judge at the election in June next, and is making a vigorous fight for the nom- ination, which is.equal to an election. Judge Benjamin Burroughs of Edwardsville is also a Democratic candidate from this county, and the prospect now Is that there will be a warm contest between these two gentlemen for the delegation from Madison County. Arrayed Against the Town.- BLOOMINGTON, Ill., Jan. 23.—The city be- gan to lay a sidewalk from Main street to the new Opera-house yesterday and tore up the old sidewalk in front of the factory of Abram Brockway, who ts bitterly opposed tothe theaters.

The Shape in Which It Is Likely to Go The ordinance for the new Union Depot will in all probability pass the Council to-night, and be sent to the House Of Delegates for first reading in that branch of the assembly. The ordinance, as it now stands, includes provisions calculated toovercome all of the objections which have been entered against the Tequired measure, but whether it is satis- all appearances, however, like a very fair division between the city and the companies. Sec. 1 of the bill provides that the Union Depot Co. of St. Louis and the Terminal Railroad Association shall be granted the right to build a depot within the district, from the south line of Randolph Street tothe south line of Clark avenue, be- tween the east line of Eighteenth street and the east line of Twenty-first street, and from the south line of Clark avenue to the south line of Market street, between the west line of Eighteenth street and the east line of Twentieth street, and to cross Randolph, Poplar, Spruce, Clark ayenue, Walnut and Eugenia streets. This privilege is granted on condition that all railroad companies be ‘permitted to use the depot at reasonable rates and enjoy all the privileges enjoyed by members of the depot company or the Terminal Association. Sec. 2 provides that the company shall show to the satisfaction of the proper city authorities that they own all of the property within the limits described, or else show con- sent of the owners for the tse of the property. Sec. 3 gives the city authority to make cer- tain repairs upon improvements within the térritory. Secs. 4and 5 provide for the maintenance and construction of sewers within the depot property. Sec. 6 provides that within sixty days after the passage of the ordinance the company a. ee : Shall begin work on the depot and finish. it within three years, putting up a bulild- ing with sheds and other appurtenances ata cost of no less than $800,000, the plans to be submitted to the Board of Public Im- provements and the work done to the satis- faction of that body. This section further provides that the northern front of the new depot shall be forty feet south of the south line of Market street and that fifteen feet of this space be given over to the city for a pub- lic street. Sec. 7 provides that when the city decides by ordinance to build a bridge over Clark avenue the depot company shall deposit $150, - 000 in the City Treasury for its share of the expenses and shall further pay $150,000 for each bridge which may thereafter be built across the tracks between Ninth and Eigh- teenth streets. Sec. 8 provides for the acceptance of the ordinances, the bonds to be furnished and other matters of a like nature. The railroad people haye not expressed themselves very freely on the subject of late, but it is the opinion that they will accept the ordinance if passed as it now stands. Figuring on the Sprinkling Tax. There is a very tnteresting problem now be- fore the board committee which has the sprinkling bids, and that problem is, what will the special tax bills be this year. The special taxes are assessed separately in each district by adding up the total frontage in feét inthe district, and then dividing that amount into the total cost for the year, Last year the price per front foot averaged about 3% cents, the highest being a little over 4 cents. This year in one district the rate of assessment was figured out and was found to be just 4 cents a foot higher than it was last. This is District No. 43, which last year was let at $3,189, and the lowest bid this year is $12,000. The same condition of affairs is found in two or three other districts and while the average will run about 5 cents a front foot in some districts # — will goas high as 7cents, which is consid- ered too much. The committee will have the whole thing figured out by next Tuesday and will then be in a position to decide what bids to reject. Schweickhardt Shut Out. The Committee on Ways and Means having taken the bill of Mr. Charles Schweickhardt granting him the Forest Park privileges and amending it intoa new bill, it willcome up for passage to-night in the Council. The bill, as it now is, settles the vexing question of how to dispose of the privileges in a very reasonable and proper manner. No liquor will be sold in the park and to get around the club scheme a clause is inserted forbidding the furnishfig of liquors to any club existing in the park. The park is made strictly anti-liquor. The lessee, Mr. Adolph Kammerer, is to pay $10,000 pletely and his name and that of Mr. Kammorer committee has made a one whichis accepta to who wanted the privilege in the park. HE WAS TOO YOUNG.

Father Taerher of St. Mary’s Church De- nies That the Property Has Been Dis- posed Of—Y. M. ©. A. Convention—Re- -vivals. For sometime past rumors have been fiy- ing about to the effect that the property of St. Mary’s German Catholic Church at Third and Gratiot streets was going to be sold, and the congregation moved farther west. This parish, at present in charge of Rev. W. Taer- her, was established nearly fifty years ago, and was at first placed in charge of Father Fischer, who, during his life-time succeeding in building up his church to be one of the strongest inthe @ity. Since that time, how- ever, the movement has constantly been westward, and as a consequence, this parish, being in the extreme eastern portion of the city has had a hard time supporting itself. For years the agitation for a removal has been going on among the parishioners, but up tothe present time no progress has been made, The reason of this is that a great many of those interested were and still are strongly interested in having the church remain where it ts at present. The higher church authorities, until lately, have, however, taken little interest in the agitation. On the ist day of January, however, when the annual financial report of St. Mary’s Parish was pre- sented to Vicar-General Brady, the matter was called to his attention, and it was found that the membership of the parish had so de- creased that it was at the pResent time hard- ly self-supporting. This gave the agitation a new impetus, since which time it has been going on with increasing force. The parts of the congregation of different opinions on the matter, are very evenly divided, and it Is feared by the father in charge that the mem- bership will be seriously affected. Should it be saidthat the parish was to be moved, those who desire it to remain where it is would be dissatisfied, and should it be given out that a determination had been arrived at to remain in the present location, others would be much displeased. Father Taerher, when seen this morning, said that there was little to say on the subject. ‘*We have recelved no offer for the proper- 7, sae ..- Be, ‘‘and no negotiations are pending to that end. This whole matter was started by a mere remark made concerning the financial state of the parish. This same talk has been going the rounds for years, and it means little more at the present timethan atany time previous. No suggestion of a removal has been made, and I do not know that there will be. While the membership of my church Is not large there is at present no sign of a de- crease. The people have talked over this re- moval and opinions differ as tothe advisabil- jty of such an action. It is something that will be settled by timealone. The agitation is not going on any more than is usual.’’ Should this church be sold and torn down a landmark of the Christian religion in St. Louis will have been removed. Some time back this peculiar-looking old stone building was one of the leading church edifices in the city, and its history contains many interest- ing reminiscences. Manyof St. Louis’ best known citizens were married within the structure, which even age does not seem to affect, but it still standsas grand as in the days ofyore. The associations which are en- twined about the church makes it very dear to the hearts of a great many parishioners. Revivals in Progress. The revival at the Carondelet Presbyterian Church still continues with much success. The meetings are in charge of Rev. H. Gauss, pastor, assisted by Rev. W. J. Lee. The third week of the protracted meeting atthe Eden German M.,E. Church, Nine- teenth and Warren, is stili progressing. This is the third week of this meeting, services being at 2o0’clockin the afternoon and at night. Rev. R. Ross is in charge, and many additions to the membDership of the church have been made. Rev. P. W. Jacoby, assisted by his brother, Rev. H. C. Jacoby, is conducting a remark- ably successful revival at Salem German M. E. Church, Fifteenth and Wash streets. Both night and afternoon services. Twenty-three new names were added tothe roll of the church membership last Sunday. Rev. H. Naumann is holding, with good re- sults, a protractea meeting at Bethel German M. E. Church, Eighth and Soulard streets. The revival services at the Second Christian Church continue to attract attention. Rev. C. G. Bartholemew, the evangelist, is con- ducting the services. Thisisthe third week and many anditions to the church have been secured. The pastor, Rev. Hopkins, is sick and therefore unable to assist at the meet- ings. To-night the revival meetings, which have been in progress for three weeks past at Cen- tral Union Church, Eleventh and Locust streets, will come to a close. They have been very .successful, the meetings of this the last week having been particular- ly . fruitful of conversions. But the value of the series of meetings is not so much in the number of conversions as in the general awakening among the Christians which has resulted. The audiences the past week have been large, delegations from the Union Congregational Church and Memorial Tabernacle Presby- terian Church being present every night. Rev. Dana W. Bartlett assisted the pastor and Mr. 8. F. Wishard, the evangelist. Next week, according to agreement, Rev. Wm. Johnson will go with his people to the Union Congregational Church, on Tenth street, near Cass avenue, and assist Rev. Mr. Bartlett. Mr. 8. F. Wishard, the Chicago evangel- ist, has made a great many friends during his Ay here and his departure will be re- Agee Not only were his evangelistic ef- s pleasing, but personally he won the es- teem of all with whom he came in contact by his earnestness and geniality. The Ministers’ Alliance. The next Monday meeting of the Ministers’ Alliance will doubtless be an interesting one. The composition of the ‘‘Committee of One Hundred’’ will be announced, and arrange- ments made for this year’s effort to strictly enforce thé radical Sunday law. The minis- ters of this city are not a unit on this subject, but those who i desire to make another effort toward en- forcement are largely in the majority. There will not from present prospects a clashing opinions at this meeting, for the reason that those not in favor of the attempt at enforce- ment recognize the fact that they are ina hopeless minority. Much interest is centered in the probable action of Alliance conference, and the com- position of this year’s committees is anxious- ly looked for. Several of the reverend gentle- men who are interested in the project promise a big surprise to the people in the names of the men who will compose this committee. They assert that a great many business men will take an interest in the matter, and that the agitation will be pushed with more vim than an ever before, The Y. M. H. A. Convention. At the meeting of the National Convention of the Young Men’s Hebrew Association in Memphis a few days ago the invitation of St. Louis to hold the convention of 1892 in St. Louis was unanimously accepted. The dele- gates, Messrs. Samuel Fredman, Lewis God- loveand Nathan Kaufman, returned home elated with their success in securing the con- vention so easily. There will be several hun- : dred delegates in attendance, and the con- -. vention will take place the second Monday in +5, _Sanvary, 1892. ae The ayo ber Men's Hebrew Association is a Tee charitable organization, and hopes ra o hay a poate es 0 amp in the near future. ‘Three of the Board of - Directors tion hopes to have a home in which to enter- tain their visitors when the time comes, The members of the new board say that they will not make the mistake of the old board in de- siring to secure magnificent quarters at the very start and then wind up by not securing. any at all. Services of Thanksgiving. The Rt. Rev. D. 8. Tuttle, D. D., Bishop of Missouri, will preach the sermon at -the Thanksgiving services in the Church of the Ascension, corner of Bates and Goodfellow avenues, Cabanne place,on Sunday morning at 11 o’clock. : The brief history of this church is full of in- terest, and its great growth is evidence of the ‘‘Westward drift’’ of the city. The church | was organized about two and a half years ago with twenty communicants, who, full of faith in the growth of Cabanne and Clemens places proceeded to build a picturesque church on the above location. Rev. Wm. Elmer was called to take charge ih October, , andthe same week Messrs. N. G. Pierce, F. L. Clark and D. F. Leavitt were appointed a building committee, and ground was immediately broken for the church building. This was completed and the first Service was held on Christmas day following. The church was consecrated by Bishop Tuttle in January, 1889, With@y two years the building proved too small for the congregation and another building committee, of Messrs. B. F. Gray, Wm. P. Nelson and C. W. Holland was appointed to carry out the scheme of enlarging adopted by the vestry. Their work is now finished andthe service next Sunday will express the gratitude of the congregation for the rich blessing poured out upon them. One feature in the management of this parish is unique. It has never gone into debt but paid for its building and its enlarge- mentas they were erected. It stands first among the churches of the city inits per capita | contributions for missionary and benevolent work and the little flock of twenty has increased to seventy-six. All persons are cordially invitedto attend the services on Sunday. The Woodworth Church. Mrs. Woodworth is expected to arrive in St. Louis Monday. Her church at Fourteenth and Lucas place is being thoroughly renovat- ed forthe appearance of the great spiritual worker. The old chairs are being dusted, the seats are being patched up and the broken windows are being stopped up with new pasteboard. Rev. A. Douglas; the pastor, is anxiously awaiting the arrivalof his chief- tess, who willimmediately upon her arrival settle the factional quarrel that is now raging in her flock. St. John’s Parish Items. The semi-annual election of officers for St. John’s Young Men’s Sodality took place Tues- day evening, Jan. 20,in the sodality chapel, with the following result: Prefect, J. F. Mc- Dermott; Assistant Prefect, Wm. Moylan; Secretary, Geo. A. Callahan, Financial Secre- tary, Edward J. Geehan; Treasurer, R. D. Sterne; Director of Music, Fred B. Worden; Director of Drama, Wm. Moylan; Director of Literary Circle, Wm. F. Fitzgerald; Consult- ors, J. F. McDermott, Wm. Moylan, R. D. Sterne, G. A. Callahan, E. J. Geehan, F. B. Worden, W. F. Fitzgerald, T. F. Coyne, Ohas. Denny, J. J. Kirby, Michael Cronin. The so- dality goes into the union with sixty-two members in good standing, and with every prospect of doubling that number with- in the next six months. Father Brady has placed at the disposal of the young men the library room, where they meet every evening for social amusement. The literary circle has determined to go into the Columbian Reading Union of New York, and will begin the circulation of books and magazines on the Columbian, plan next month. Friday evening, Jan. 30, the Dramatic sec- tion will give another excellent entertain- ment in St. John’s Hall, Sixteenth and Wal- nut streets, at8o’clock. The farce, ‘‘Icion Parle Francais,’’ will be produced. The fol- lowing members of both Sodalities will take part: Misses M. Moore, M. McFarland, C. Callahan, N. Lane; Messrs. R. D. Sterne, Ben Convey and John Rogers. . The Cathedral Sodality. The Young Men’s Sodality of the Cathedral Parish will on next Wednesday evening. Jan. 28, give a grand concert at Druids’ Hall. The hall will be beautifully decorated for the oc- casion, andthe Young Ladies’ Sodality, with its fullmembership of about one hundred, will be there. The members of both sodali- ties intend to make this concert one of the brightest and most enjoyable afiairs of its kind of the season. The growth of the Young Men’s Sodality of the Cathedral Parish since its reorganization on Nov. 4lastis very gratifying.” About that time Rev. Father P. J. O’Rourke was in- stalled in the parish as assistant pastor. He was instructed by his superior to build up the Young Men’s Sodality, which was then in a very badly disorganized state, and he imme- diately set to wOrk in a very systematic man- ner by visiting the young men of his parish and bringing them together at weekly meet- ings. The result is that the sodality is now in a fair way to soon become the strongest and most popular one in the city. Lent Is Coming. Lent comes unusually early this year, Ash Wednesday, the first day, falling on Feb. 11. There is hardly three weeks now until Lent opens, and thechurche$ will havea more reg- ular attendance. Unusual religious prepara- tions for the season of restand spiritual re- cuperation are being made in Sst. Louls, and Lent promises to be more generally observed than has usually been the case. While the early date is not a welcome feature to many, the winter society season then being at its height. Sister Mary Alexis Rayhice.

MILLS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COMMERCIAL CO. The Main Question Involved in the Con- troversy the Protection of Female Seals —Mr. Blaine’s Position—What Should Be Done, NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—Mr. D. O. Mills of this city is largely interested in the North Ameri- can Commercial Co., which has the lease of the seal islands in the Behring Sea. Because of the vast interests of this corporation in those islands he is, of course, deeply con- cerned in the controversy that has continued for so long a time between this country and England regarding the question of jurisdic- tion and the like. In reply to a number of questions Mr. Mills yesterday said: ‘*It seems tome thatthe main question in- volved inthis whole controversy, from the beginning ta the present time, is the protec- tion of the female seals. The case of Hayward is merely an incident in the case. Whether ornot the decision of the United States Supreme Court upon this case will be taken by the British Government asa ruling upon other previous seizures, Iam, of course, unable to say. This phase of the controversy seems torestentirely upon the question of jurisdiction. The real question is. whether the United States hasa right to protect the animals that bear their young upon the seal islands while they are feeding at a distance of 100 miles, also whether the United States is limited only to jurisdiction over a sea territory three miles in extent. There is this certainly about it—that the value of the seal islands depends absolutely upon the. animals that occupy rookeries. Once these animals are destroyed or are driven elsewhere, one of the great ad- vantages of the Alaskan purchase from the Russian Government is materially depreci- ated. Theseals are, of course, compeiled to feed and their food is found at distances ranging from thirty to one hundred miles from the islands. The animals certainly should be protected while bringing forth their young. The lease of the North American Commercial Co, from the United States Gov- ernment gives it the exclusive right of killing seals upon the ‘Pribyloff’ Islands. The lease runs for twenty years, and the com- pany has the privilege of severing its obliga- tion under the lease - when it is no longer able to také seals on the islands. It seems to me that under this lease and by all rules that are fair between the lessee and the lessor, the latter should certainly protect the property that it has granted under certain conditions to the former. The United States Government appears to be in the situation of les- sor obliged to protect the rights of the North American Commercial Co. I do not think that the Government has been suffi- ciently determined in fts_ policy in deal- ing with the question.of seal poaching. It certainly appears to me that the Govern- ment should have remained unswervingly in the position that it took when it declared that it prohibited the killing of seals. MR. BLAINE’S POSITION. ‘*It must be remembered that Mr. Blaine’s position in this whole controversy has been one of great difficulty. The discussion be- tween Englandand this country was left to him as a sort of legacy from the preceding ad- ministration when Mr. Bayard brought these negotiations tosuch a pass that the use of force in compelling an observance of the rights of the United States to their ciaimed jurisdiction was the only possible outcome. How the present controversy will end I have not the remotest idea; but I believe it should be submitted to arbitration. The solution for this entire muddieis in the protection, absolute, of the female seal. It must be re- membered that when they come to the Priby- loff Islands they come for the purpose of leaving their young in the rookeries and for breeding. When they reach the vicinity of the islands they are weary and consequentiy, owing both to their physical condition and the long journey, they are by no means able to estape from any pur- suers, as are their male consorts. The pro- tection of these animals, therefore, should be, I think, submitted to the proposed arbitra- tion, and a general rule should be made for- bidding the killing of a female seal at any time and under any circumstances. The penalty for the violation of this rule, either when actually observed or when the skins of the animals are found, in the possession of the hunters or offered for sale, should be both a fine and imprisonment. Should this rule be adopted there is no doubt that the poaching upon the Behring Sea will cease. The male seal is able to take care of him- self. Heis very quick and observant and if the persons that come to Behring Sea to kill seals were to depend upon the male animal they would find their enterprise exceedingly unprofitable. The Seal Island animals are about the only ones bearing valuable fur. They should be preserved by every safeguard that the law can make. Cértainly the North American Commercial Co. would be in favor of a prohibitive regulation of this sort. Its own regulations forbid the killing of female seals upon the islands atany time. The ani- mals that are killed are always males and of ages that exclude both the young and the old. The selected animals are driven away from their fellows and to the leeward of the herd so that the rest of the seals are not aware what becomes of them. Every en- couragement should be given to the animals to continue to wuse the rookeries on the Pribyloff Islands, If the females are’ not protected by a close season during their brooding period, in which the seals should be absolutely free from harm, they will be eventually frightene@ away from the Behring Sea, as they were frightened away from the South Pacific rookeries. AMERICAN POACHERS. **It is, perhaps, somewhat amusing to know that no more than one-quarters of the poaching is done by British subjects. The remaining three-q ers is done almost en- tirely by citizens of the United States. Should any serious difficulty grow out of the present contention the British Government will be placed in the somewhat anamolous position of defending by foree of arms the depreda- tions of American poachers. As long as this question is open and unsettled the United States is bound to respect her own laws and the President to execute them. The United States has made a lease to centain citizens by which the latter are to give it least $1,000,000 revenue annually for the taking fur seals from the Pribyloff group. The law makes the duty ofthe President to west of the Pribyloff group. HK is understood that Russia in granting this franchise or lease has promised protection to the com- pany, and for this purpose it is supposed she contemplates stationing some of her navy in the waters of Behring Sea. Neither Canadians or citizens of this country have ventured, except ina few cases, toat- tempt to kill seals in Russian waters. When- ever they have Russian Government has dealt with them summarily. There is no disposition on the part of Canadian or American poach- ers to attempt to take seals within the Rus- sian waters and there is no account of Can- ada or England protesting against Russia’s selzing poachers in her waters. ‘*The question is, should a great industry which yields to the United States a revenue of $1,000,000 a yearand to England as niuch in manufacturing the skins, be destroyed or by proper rules and regulations shall seal life be prolonged?’’ PAIns inthe small of the back indicate a diseased condition of the Liver and Kidneys, which may be easily removed by the use of Dr. J.

The question of freight rates to interior Texas points was thought to have been set- tled several months ago, but from present indications it is lkely to be reopened. As readers of the Post-DISPATCH are aware, the Galveston merchants have been for the last two years endeavoring to secure freight rates to interior Texas points that would enable them to defy St. Loulscom- petition. Their statement of their claims is delightful in its simplicityand frankness. They admit that, other things being equal, they have the advantage of St. Louls as regards railroad rates, and that iftheir business houses were as strong and well managed as those of this city that they could control the entire trade of South- ern Texas. | But according to their own confession. their business men cannot meet those of St. Louis on equal terms with any chance of § success. In a circular addressed to the different Texas lines, and signed by the leading Galveston merchants, it is stated that Galveston will only sup- ply the towns in its immediate vicin- ity, and cannot supply the territory that naturally belongs to it, because the 8t. Louis wholesalers undersell them. It is admitted that the freight rates, as they have long exis- ted, are far more favorable to Galveston than to St. Louis, but owing .to the fact that the Galveston merchants cannot transact business on such a narrow margin of profit as those of St. Louis, they were unable to grant such liberal credits. For these reasons the trade of Southern Texas had passed _ into the hands of St. Louis wholesalers, and unless something was done the Galveston merchants would be able to show little or no reason for their existence. The only remedy for this state of affairs was to raise the rates from St. Louis to interior Texas points, that the advantages gained by this city through the superiority of its busi- ness methods would be neutralized. In case the railroads declined to arrange their freight tariffs in such a manner as to place Galveston in a commanding position, the merchants threatened to use the Mallory line of steamers from New Orleans as _ their carrier. The railroads were inclined to grant the request, as it would result in giving them the long haul to Galveston, and afterwards to haul from that city to points where the goods were used. A meet- ing was held in Chicago, at which a number of St. Louis merchants appesred and stated their case. An arbitration committee was appointed, and a tariff of through and way rates established, which was ad- mitted to be distinctly favorable to Galves- ton. But experience has proved that even with the advantages given the Galveston merchants cannot compete with those of St. Louis, and they are now attempting to have the question reopened. No official information has been received here in relation to this, but from private sources it has been learned that strong efforts are being made to secure freight discrimina- tion still more unfavorable to St. Louis than the tariff that now exists. In reference to the matter a telegram was sent to the freight agents of the Frisco, the Missouri Pa- cific and the St. Louis, Arkansas & Texas, signea by the President of the Merchants’ Ex- change and the Transportation Committee, stating thatthe advances on St. Louis rates already made were detrimental to St. Louis interests, and that a further rearrangement of freight rates still more favorable to Gal- veston would have the effect of driving many St. Louis houses out of Texas entirely. An. appeal was made to the agents to see that St. Louis interests were not sacrificed. Doc Wilson Not Dead. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Jan. 23.—John D. Hop- kins, Manager of the Grand Opera-house here, says the story recently published that Doc Wilson of Moen-Washburn fame had died in the gutter in Arizona, is false in every particular. Hopkins says he saw Wilson in New York three days ago and talked with him. — SICK HEADACHE—Carter’s Little Liver Pills SICK HEADACHE—Oarter’s Little Liver Pills SICK HEADACHE—Carter’s Little Liver Pills SICK HEADACHE—Carter’s Little Liver Pilis PARRELL~Jan. 22. 1881, Lorrim May, beloved | daughter of Wm. ee ae aes Sa _ JOHNSO N—Jan. 21, 11:30 p. m., ies phage 2h 1 Qe — ._* meg ye SSaguine a al A HEAVY FALL. a : : , 4 : 7 — = 4 > : . eo - me . aes te ” . - = 7 *, . # kn Paes = ox “gk Se Hs . : oe tp ae > se z a es - il ae ~~ You don’t always hear something drop = When = even when there is a heavy fall. prices go down they are not apt to makea noise, but that does fiot prevent them from going down with a rush.

An Active Market, but a Declinein Prices in All the Selling Stocks. New YorK, Jan. 2.—The stock market opened with the most intense dullness this morning, but later marked animation was developed in Richmond & Western, St. Paul, Chicago Gas, Atchison and other grangers. This activity, however, was accomplished at the expense of quotations, and losses of large fractions were sustained inall the leading stocks. Chicago Gas wasa noted exception to this rule, however, and in the early dealings it rase 1% per cent. after opening down %. This improvement was afterward nearly all lost, the stock going back to about last night’s price. Burlington & Quincy lost %, Union Pacific % and others smaller fractions. The general list, as usual, was extremely dull and uninteresting, the fluctuations being scarcely perceptible and the dealings entirely without feature of any kind. Toward the end of the hour the activity disappeared from the leaders and the market was dull and steady, generally at something under the opening prices. A Large Block of Richmond Terminal Stock Said to Have Been Tansferred. By Private Wire to Gaylord, Blessing & Co. NEW YORK.—Something new and very in- teresting came out uptown last evening about the Richmond Terminal which may create a sensation in Wall street and in rail- road circles, as the ownership and holdings of this property are Sonens hands. People who are well inforfhed say that a certain large corporation in Wall street was yester- day party to a transaction by which 60,000 shares of Richmond Terminal were sold out by an individual and delivered to a prominent Broad street stock concern, which paid $20 per share for the stock. It was stated that another block of 40,000 shares was in process of negotiation which was the pro of a director of the company and it wo probably be bought by the same party who took the 60,000 shares, and this would give the latter entire control of this whole system of roads. _ It was given out that the price of Richmond Terminal st was not to be ad- vanced above $19 per s until the last block of stock was purchased andthe deal closed. The market was rather strong at the end of the day, acd but few’stocks were for sale at the close of yesterday, and the best people to follow usually said that ;they had rather be long than short of them, but thisis no indi- cation that the market is a buy right away. It is alleged that the Atchison road is giving out free passes to influence traffic indiscrim- inately and, in this way, is cutting rates everywhere. The Iowa Railroad Commis- sion has rendered a decision ho passen- ger train service of the Rock Island is inad- equate and must be improved. | LONDON— American securities: pe cencecnsedene 72%, declined %& . tion ee ewes eeeee qeoesegorey ¢ a St. Paul atom Pacis. 2.022208 Atchison ee eRe eee eee *eeee seetreronetere Gaylord, Blessing & Co.,. 307 Olive Street.

A BUTCHER DEMANDS A WARRANT AGAINST INSPECTOR DOWNES. 83 The Sequel of a Street Inspector’s At- tempt to Shoot the Man Whom His Wife Alleged Insulted Her—Prayed on the Street—Wanted Revenge. Dan Hennessey, the Page avenue butcher, is creating considerable of a commotion at the Four Courts in the effort to secure a war- rant charging Taylor 8. Downes with assault to kill. Hennessey is well known in West End Democratic political circles, while Downes is employed at the City Hall in the Street Department. On New Year’s eve Mrs. Downes was in Hennessy’s place of busi- ness to purchase some vegetables. She claims that the proprietor used some profane and insulting language, which Hennessey just as positively denies. At any rate Downes put in an appearance at the shop half an hour later and, as is alleged, snapped a revolver twice at Hennessey. The weapon was not discharged. Hennessey then caused the issuance of a war- rant charging Downes with assault and bat- tery. The case was tried in the Court of Criminal Correction about a week ago, and Downes was discharged, Judge Claiborne in- sisting that the information was defectively drawn. He at the same time said that the evidence showea a case of assault with intent to kill. Since that time Hennessey has been doing his utmostto se- cure a warrant against Downes for this of- fense, but has been by the officials put off on one pretext or another until his patience be- came exhausted. To-day he made something of a demonstration in the offices of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Estep. It is probable that the warrant will beissued, as Hennes- sey is now determined upon a prosecution. He Wanted Revenge. About 4 o’clock this morning Detectives McGrath and O’Connell went to 904 Morgan street and arrested Wm. Kelly. About a week ago Wm. Holdredge, a Missouri Pacific engineer, complained that Kelly had invaded his home and alienated the affections of his wife. Hehad returned home unexpectedly one day, he said, to find Kelly there with his wife and he left at once and never ex- pected to home again. He wouldn’t have anything more to do with his wife, but he would leave the woman to pursue her oyn course. He wanted to settle his account against Kelly, however, and requested his arrest. Detectives McGrath and O’Connell were as- signed on thecase. They entered the Morgan street house a few minutes after 4 o’clock by a rear door and took Kelly out of bed. The prisoner made an attempt to escape by fall- ing down a flight of stairs, but was unsuccessful. It is probable that Hold- redge willswear out a warrant against the couple. Incase Holdredge fails to appear Kelly will be put into the First District Police Court, on an old execution. obtained two years ago, at which time he was fined $500 and costs ona pleaof guilty to the charge of associating with thieves. Mrs. Holdredge claims that her husband abused and misused herand that Kelly appeared on the premises simply toact asa protector. Kelly is 24 years old and has no regular em- ployment. Prayed in the Street. An insane man created quite a sceneat the corner of Seventh and Market streets about noon to-day. He was first seen to fall on his knees on the muddy crossing and commence to pray in a loud tone of voice. The substance of his invocation was for as- Sistance in purifying the neighbor. hood, That was all perfectly proper and the police made no interference until the stranger puiled from his pocket a handful of money and started to toss it, coin ata time, into the street. Then the fellow was taken into custody. At the Four Courts he gave his nameas George Chelty, 51 years old, and said he lived at 705 South Seventh street. Four hundred and ninety-five dollars was found on his person. He was placed in the holdover to await an examination at the hands of City Physician Priest. The prisoner is undoubtedly insane on the subject of re- ligion. Ladies’ Stolen Watches Recovered. This morning Detectives Fitzgerald and Frese recovered in a down-town pawnshop four ladies’ silver watches with silver chairs and eleven solid silver teaspoons marked ‘‘A. ‘Rumvill &Co.’’ The property is supposed to atte apes cme now held at the Four Somebody’s Darling. A lost boy about 5 years old, dressed in dark clothing and blue soldier cap was found in front of 8857 North Broadway yesterday morn- ing and is now at the residence of Claus Grim- mer at the above number. He is unable to give his name or address. ' ABOUT TOWN. CHIEF LINDSAY received a check of $100 for the Firemen’s Relief Fund from J. W. gton.

‘ Corner of 9th and Olive streets.Set of teeth $s. PRIVATE matters skillfully treated and medl- tines furnished. Dr. Dinsbeer, 814 Pine st. DEATH OF M. W. QUINN. The Oldest and.One of the. Most Popular Hotel Men in the City. Mr. M. W. Quinn, proprietor of the Riche- lieu Hotel, died last night of apoplexy. He ‘was the oldest hotel man in St. Louis in point of service, having been in the business in this city continuously for nearly thirty years. He ‘Was a native of Ireland, but he came to this country when a young man, and in 1862 was a clerk in the old Monroe House on Second street. During the next five years he was also at the Olive Street Hotel, on Olive and Second streets, and at the St. Nicholas, on ¥Yourth, between Morgan street and Franklin avenue. Atthe opening of the Southern he was made night clerk of that hotel and he re- mained there until it was destroyed by fire in April, 1877. Then he took charge of Hotel ‘Hunt as proprietor and still later managed Hurst’s, on Fourth _ street. About a year ago he purchased the lease and furniture of the Richelieu, paying $380,000 for them, and was doing a good business there when he died. Mr. Quinn had perhaps a larger acquaintance in the United States than any other hotel maninthe city, having had an excellent memory and a wonderful knack of making friends and keeping them. His connection with the various hotels during a period of nearly thirty years brought him in contact with thousands of people of every class, representing every profession and calling, every grade of society and every por- tion of the Union, and to all he was courteous and affable alike, having a pleasant greeting for everybody, quite in contrast with some of the hotel clerks of the new generation. Mr. Quinn was about 60 years old and leaves a widow and three sons, Ambrose, Leon and Ryan. Good for All Three. The greatest good for the greatest number is the mark aimed at by all reformers, and to ‘reach it secures the greatest acclaim of fame that can be had. It isa good thing for the cofsumer, for the manufacturer, for the newspapers, when an article of merit is put upon the market, is made known by news- paper advertising, and, through a series of years, proves its worth to lessen labor in mil- lions of homes, profits the newspapers, and gives its makersa fairliving. Pearline, the great washing powder manufactured by James Pyle & Sons, New York. has done all this. If it is not making labor easier in your home, itis your fault. Something of its his- tory is made plain in an advertisement in another column. DIED OF HIS INJURIES. Thomas Culligan Passes Away at the City Hospital. Thomas Culligan died at the City Hospital yesterday afternoon from loss of blood and a shock to his system. A few minutes after 12 o’clock Culligan was struck by the Kirkwood accommodation, on the Missouri Pacific tracks, while passing Clifton Heights. The wheels of the engine passed over both legs, crushing them below the knee in a horrible manner. Dr. C. Aldenhoven of Clifton Heights cut the strips of flesh which held the mangled parts to the stumps and dressed the members as best he could. Theinjured man wasthen placed onthe incoming Creve Cceur train and re- removed to the Unton Depot from which he was forwarded tothe City Hospital. Ina lit- tle more thanan hour after his admission Culligan was dead. The deceased was a single man, 28 years old, and a laborer by oc- cupation. Hehas forsometime boarded at Tamm avenue and Manchester road. Coroner Irwin will holdan inquest in the case this afternoon.

The Electric Linemen and Wiremen’s Union, composed of indoor workers, has been ad- mitted to the Building Trades Council, giving the council a membership of ten unions. The Bricklayers, Stonemasons and Plaster- ers’ Unions are, however, still out, having refused to affiliate with the council. The new scale of wages adopted by each union in the council was called for at the last meeting of the council and the following scales were re- ported and ratified: Tin, Sheet-iron and Cornice Workers’ Union, $2.50 per day; Lath- ers’ Union, $8.50 per day for first-class men and $3 for second-class’ men; Marble Cutters and Mantel Setters’ Union, $38 per day for first- class men and $2.50 for second-class men; Architectural Iron Workers and Chippers’ Union, $2.60 per day for iron workers and $1.80 for chippers; Whiteners’ Union, $3 per day or 874 centsan hour; Plumbers’ Union, $3.50 a day. These figures are.based on eight hoursas a day’s work. The other unions will report next Wednesday. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for Chil- dren teething produces natural quiet sleep. 25c bot.

NEw YORK, Jan. 28.—It now seems that the adjustment of the differences of New York base ball clubs may not be as easy as was at first supposed. The two nines inthis city, it was generally believed, would be the first to consolidate and wipe out all controversies. Several meetings may have to be held, how- ever, before the rival interests are merged intoone. Complications have arisen which, while they will undoubtedly be happily ad- justed in time, nevertheless look threaten- ing now. The first meeting toward bringing abouta satisfactory settlement was held yesterday, and another will be held to-morrow. What was intended to be a social meeting of the Board of Directors of the American Exhibi- tion Co. was held in the afternoon. The sim- ultaneous appearance of several stockholders of the New York League Club excited curi- learned some new phases of the local base ball matters. It now appears that the Metropolitan Ex- hibition Co., which has controlled the base ball interests of this city for several years, is a thing of the past. The recent base ball revolution brought wreck and ruin to the company last season, the result being the organization of anew stock company. The company has been legally incorporated at Trenton under the laws of New Jersey, under the name of the American Exhibition Co. The delegates yesterday refused to say what players would be retained, but the ap- pended list will be found about correct: Pitchers—Keefe, Rusie, Welch and Shar- rott; catchers—Ewing, Buckley and Clark; Conner, first base; Richardson, second base; Glasscock, short stop; Denny, third base; Gore, O’Rourke, Slattery and Johnson for outfielders, with Whistler as general substi- tute. It is uncertain whether Gore, O’Rourke é6r Johnson will be released. Whitney, Bas- sett. Burkett, Horning, Murphy, Crane, O’Day, Ward, J. Ewing, Vaughnand Brown will probably be able to find positions on other teams. A. G. Mills, the enthusiastic patron of ama- teur and professional base ball, is probably the head of the new National Board, which will hereafter be the supreme court of base ball. Allan W. Thurman, John J. Rogers and L. C. Krauthoff, who compose the board, have informed Mr. Mills that they have elected him chairman. Mr. Mills yesterday sent his reply, but for various reasons said that he did not, for the present, care to say just what that reply was. He said that the board was now scattered, Rogers being in Philadeiphia, Thurman in Columbus, O., and Krauthoff in Kansas City, and until he had heard from them he could say nothing. Mr. Mills is the framer of the original Na- tional agreement adopted about 1888. Hewas the governing power in the Amateur Athletic Union until recently, when he was forced to resign from all athletic committees owing to pressure of private business. An important meeting of the stockholders of the Brooklyn Players’ Club will be held this afternoon. It was the opinion last night that President Goodwin had secured the up- per hand for his faction over the faction for which Edward F. Linton is the spokesman. At to-day’s meeting the stockholders may vote to consolidate with the Brooklyn League Club and ignore the injunction recently ob- tained by Linton. INDOOR BASE BALL. The game of indoor base ball which has sprung intosuch popularity in Chicagoand other cities received its initial presentation toa Sst. Louis audience atthe Armory Hall lastevening. About 1,000 people includinga number of ladies were in attendance, and judging from their generous applause were much pleased with the sport. George Mun- son, Secretary, and Charley Comiskey, Captain of the St. Louis Browns, have the enterprise in charge, and they presented two teams, one captained by Pitcher Charley King of the Browns and the other by Paul McSweeney, the well-known local amateur twirler. The King nine, which was known by the name of ‘‘Tebeau’steam,’’ was composed largely of professional ball players, ‘while McSweeney’s ‘*All St. Louis Team’’ was made up of local amateurs, the only exception being George W. Hancock of Chicago, the father of indoor base ball, who played third base forthem. Thesport is ordinary base ball on a miniature scale, there being only a slight difference in the playing rules. In the indoor game the diamond is small, the ball very large and soft and bats light. It is impossible to drive the ball very far. As it was the first game ever played here the members of both teams showed their lack of practice toa certain ex- tent last night, though there were many brilllant plays which elecited much ap- plause. It was a close contest, the Tebeau, or professional team, winning by a score of 21to 18. To-morrow night the second contest will be played. Last night Mayor Noonan deliveredan address on both indoor and outdoor base ball, speaking most flatteringly of the prpsect of both games. The teams last evening were as follows: Tebeau’s Nine—King, p.; Munyan, c; J. Peitz, ib.; Joyce, 2b.; Davis, 3b.; H. Peitz, ss.; Barker, r. f.; Silch, c. f.; Pears, 1. f. All St. Louis—McSweeney, p.; Adams, c.; Boles, 1b.; Morrissey, 2b.; Hancock, 3b.; Woodlock, ss.; Fenn, r. f£.; Stewart, c. f. Ricks, l. f. THE RING. James Wakely and Phil Lynch, who left New Orleans last Thursday for Chicago to see John L. Sullivan, arrived here last night, says the New York WORLD. The result of the Dempsey-Fitzsimmons match was a great surprise to them, and they both declare that the long New Zealander is a pugilistic Rjie- nomenon. ‘‘Thad a talk with Sullivan regarding a match with Slavin,’’ said Wakely, ‘‘and while there are no probabilities of a match at present, I am satisfied that they will meet some time orother. I never saw the big fel- low looking so wellas he did in Chicago last week. Hehas ‘scratched’ strong drink al- together and indulges in ale twice a day. Stil he lives well and has § grown quite portly. He takes sufficient exercise, however, to keep himself in fairly good trim allthe time. As for money, he has plenty of it. Why, they are actually turning people away at every performance, and Sullivan’s interest in the play since the season opened has netted him upward of $1,200 a week. As long as he has such an income I think he would be unwise to make a match with Slavin or any other fighter. No, he will not entertain any thoughts of signing articles until his partnership with Duncan Harrison expires, on July 1.’’ ‘*Whom will he fight then?’’ was asked. ‘‘That I cannot say,’’ Wakely replied. **There are four orfive men who appear to be anxious to meet him, but of course John will not be able to accommodate them all. If Slavin meets the winner of the Corbett-Jack- son fight and defeats him I think the big fel- low will make a match with him. He has been taking the best care of himself and I think he will be able to defend the championship for many years to come.’’ ‘*The rumor-that he has signed articles to fight Slavin is untrue, then?’’ ‘*As far as I know it is, and I think Sullivan would have consulted meifhe intended tak- }ing suchastep. John isawfully cutup over Jack Dempsey’s defeat. He was taken alto- gether by surprise by the result, and I think he lost a considerable amount of money. John thinks, in spite of his recent defeat, Dempsey can whip any man of his size alive,’’ Wakely had nearly $8,500 to bet on Dempsey when he started for New Orleans two weeks ago. Heisa cautious better, however, and did not place all of this money, for he was ad- | vised that the At a was @ wonder, osity in a reporter, who investigated and HAVE NEVER BEEN o Cheap.

Jack Dempsey has sufficiently recovered from the terrible thumping he received Wednesday night aweek ago to get out on the street and move around with something of his accustomedease. For four days he was confined tothe house and suffered severely much of that time, his body and neck being badly bruised. He was seen Tuesday at New Orleans and a black eyeand bruised nose were the only marks visible on his face. He was asked how he felt, the inquirer ven- turing the opinion that he had not been much hurt judging from appearances. ‘‘It’s al- most a week now,’’ replied Dempsey, ‘fand I. still féel the effects of the fight, and if you saw body you would think so.’’ Rollingup his left sleeve he exposed hisarm, which was still discol ored asfarupasthe elbow. ‘‘Just look at that,’’ he said. ‘‘The left side of my chest, from the armpit to the waist, is in the same condition. My legs, also, near the knees, are cut from coming in contact’ with the ropes.’’ And, with a good-natured smile, he re- marked: ‘‘I know I’ve been ina fight.’’ I never saw Fitzsimmons until I saw him in the ring that night. He is a mighty good man. ‘‘Iknow nothing of the fight after the eighth or ninth round, and I was surprised when I was told that I had fought thirteen rounds. I didn’t hit him more than five times. He was too tall,and whentI tried to hit him he would stand up, bend his chest oyt soasto save his stomach and I could never reach him. AlllI know after the eighth and ninth rounds, and I have only a slight recollection of that, is that Fitz- simmons was touching me on the shoulders and I was standing up to fight. ‘*I see that Fitzsimmons has also refused to accept the Police Gazette belt, and he is right. There is nothing in these belts. I have one and I was compelled to get out of a sick bed and defend it against Reagan.’’ Dempsey will leave for Texas on Sunday, and from there will go to his home, in Port- land, Ore. SKATING. The National Skating Association will hold the skating championship contests on Jan. 80 and 31, if the weather is favorable. The races will take place at the Berkeley Oval on Jan. 30andon the evening of the following day the figure skating competition will be held at Hoboken, N. J., in the Thistle Curling Association Rink. The competition promises to be the best ever held by the association and the chief interest is now centered on the contest between Louis Rubenstein of Montreal and Geo. D. Phillips of the N.Y. A.C. The latter has always pressed the Montrealer and this year he is said to be in better form than ever before, so that Rubenstein will probably have a hard fight-for his laurels. The entries sofar include the above named, with J. F. Bacon, the clever Boston skater, and McLean of New York. The probable presence of the world’s champion, Joe Donohoe, in the races at Berkeley Oval will be the drawing card there. Other great skaters who will probably com- pete are E. D. Irwin of Montreal, ex-cham- pion of Canada; H.P.Mosherof Fishkill, the quarter-mile champion of America; Tim and Jim Donohue,- brothers of ‘‘Our’’ Joe, and Elmer Simpson of Newburgh, N. Y. ROLLER SKATING CHAMPIONSHIP. Frank Delmont still holds the fastest one mile roller skating record in this country, having defeated J. S. Snowden inthe Me- chanics’ Pavilion, San Francisco, in 3:03. The race was for a purseof $1,000 and the championship of America. Snowden is the long-distance champion, having only a short time ago skated 295 miles in twenty-four hours. Delmont has been the short-distance champion of America, but in this last contest he lowered his previous record of 3:064%. The world’s best record is 2:50le made in London. In this race Snowden had the lead for the first seven laps, when Delmont, by a great spurt, went ahead ten fee@ Snowden closed up the gap and kept abreast of his rival tintil they were on the lastlap. Then Delmont spurted again and brought up to the rope two feet ahead, CHESS. William Steinitz of New York is still the champion of the world, a proud distinction which he has heid for years. Last night at the Manhattan Chess Club rooms, New York, he played the nineteenth game of his match with Gunsberg of England. Twenty games were to be played and by winning the eighteenth game Steinitz gained a lead of two games Gunsberg, making fit necessary for the latter to win both remaining contests to even make adraw of the match, whileif Steinitz suc- ceeded in either scoring a victory or making a draw of one of the two games, it would give him the match. He succeeded in mak- ing a draw of the game played last night, so thathe is now the winner of the match. Steinitz selected the Queen’s pawn opening and after 41 moves had been made the game was drawn. The re- maining or twentieth game will not be played, as even if Gunsberg won, the match would still belongto Steinitz. The score of the contest is as follows: Steinitz 6 games won, Gunsberg 4 games won and 9 games drawn. WINTER RACING.
