DYNAMITERS AND BOYOOTTERS x. TENCED TO PENAL SERVITUDE. Is the German Emperor Insane?—The Capture of Thabat—Refined Torture in Madagascar—British Protection to For- eigners in Chili—Trade ——— With Canada Foreign News. } Loxpow, April 4.—The Daily News this morn- ing commenting on the result of the election held at Sligo yesterday when the [ rnellite candidate for the seat in the House of Com- mons for North Sligo was defeated by Alder - man Collery, the nominee of the “McCarthy- ites, says: Mr. Parnell has now twice tested Irish opinion and both times he has been badly beaten. In nis own constituency he nas refused to ght. We can't suppose that Irishmen who really love their country will continue to follow a dethroned dictator who uses his remaining power to weaken the country in the face of the enemy. The result at Sligo is a great victory for home rule. The Parnellites were guilty of the grossest vio- lence and intimidation. Moreover they had, as is now generally admitted, the support of the Conservatives. But the greatest strength of the defeated faction lay in the outlying districts bordering on the hot-bed of Fenianism, Ribbonism, Leagueism, and crime inthe County Mayo. The number of illiterate voters must raise in the breasts of Englishmen serious doubts whether such persons are worthy of the privilege of voting. A REMARKABLE TRIUMPH. Dent, April 4.—The National Press, the organ of the McCarthyites says: Despite the fact that nearly a thousand Orangemen sup- ported the candidate of the Parnellites and that the votes of almost as many members of the National Federation party were ab- stracted and in the face of the grossest brib- ery and intimidation, Sligo has struck a smashing blow for the National cause. In spite of bullyings, bludgeonings and mob law personally organized by Mr. Parnell the Na- tionalists have won the most remarkable triumph ever achieved for home rule. SENTENCED TO HARD LABOR. Corx, April 4.—At the Cork Assizes to-day John Foley was sentenced to seven years’ penal servitude for his having dynamite in ary. Michael Hanley was sentenced to eigh- teen months’ imprisonment with hard labor and Michael Landers to one year’s similar punishment for posting notices of boycotts. Moynihanand Rearden were sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment each and Flynn and Kelleher to seven years’ each. MOONLIGHTERS SURPRISED. Aparty of moonlighters says a dispatch from Ennis, County Clare, last night at- tacked the house occupied by Michael Fitz- gerald, near that town. The police, how- ever, surprised the moonlighters and fired upon them. The result was that one of the moonlighters was shot and fatally wounded while allof the moonlight party were cap- tured. BRITISH PROTECTION. FOREIGN RESIDENTS I” CHIL] ‘WELCOME THE ENGLISH FLEET. PANAMA, March 26.—The Callao Porvenir of March 7, said: ne presence or such a powerful squadron of the British navy in Chillan waters at the present time is a most fortunate circumstance, considering the supineness of other open powers and [the United States in this important matter. As amatter of fact, the protection of foreign Citizensin Chill during this wretched war seems to have been left tothe British fleet. Thatit is both able and willing to assume this honorable and humane duty is well. known. But had Great Britain been as re missasthe other powers inthis respect the consequences to foreign residents might have been serious. It is needless to point out that the prudence andfirmness displayed by the foreign con- suls in Iguique and elsewhere, and the bene- ficial results that followed their united pro- tests and requests lost nothing of their force from a knowledge of the fact that there was fa naval power behind them strong enough to protect the rights of neutrals and enforce the laws of civilized nations. Indeed, there are hot wanting evidences that the chiefs of the revolutionary fleet are inclined torun things with a pretty high hand, so that the presence of astrong naval power on this coast is evi dently indispensable. It seems strange that in these days of rapid telegraphic communi. lion and fast-salling war ships other pow- ers mould have been so careless in the mat- ter of looking after the interests of their Citizens abroad.’’ WILL SAIL FOR VALPARAISO. SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.—Admiral Brown, of the flagship San Francisco, which is lying in the bay here taking on supplies, says that unless he receives orders to the contrary, he will sail next Tuesday for Valparaiso. HORRIBLE TORTURE. AN INCIDENT ILLUSTRATING THE FEROCITY OF THE HOVAS OF MADAGASCAR. Loxpon, April 4.—Supplemental to the re- cent horrible massacre in Madagascar, comes another story illustrating the ferocity of those people who are nominally under French protection. It appears that Rannisilofo, Governor of Mahnaora, had an unfortunate native tortured in the most horrible manner because he refused to obey him. The victim was bound to a pole and in that position paraded through the village for two whole Gays. When freed from the pole he was placed in a sort of coffin, hollowed from the trunk of a tree, and covered with a plank, in which there was nothing but a small hole of about three inches for the victim’s mouth and nose, The unfortunate native was kept Screwed down in this coffin not less than two months, and actually lived during that time. He was fed through the aperature, his rela- “ves being permitted to give him food, At ‘eneth, upon the payment of 100 piastres, the “overnor allowed the man to be released. In addition to these brutalities, the Hovas are everywhere aggressive against the French, and Europeans are not safe, even at the port of Tamatave. The question whether France will enforce its claim of authority Over the island is becoming an important one toother nations that have commercial in- terests in Madagascar. 7 DESERTED BALMACEDA. Pants, April 4.—It is announced here that the Chiltan Government ironciad Pilcomayo With its officers and crew has deserted the “ause of President Balmaceda, and that it has joined the rebel ffeet, which now numbers forty war vessels of various sizes. SALVATION ARMY HALLS CLOSED. BUENOS AYRES, April 4.—The police authort- Nes of this city have closed the Salvation Army halls here, claiming that the army was not recognized by the church.

The Kaiser's actions are causing renewed comment as to hls mental condition, opinion and wires which were strewn tracks. he incipient — 17 III. caused the — See perhaps history is about to repeat itself in his descendant. BULGARIA’S POSITION. Sorta, April 4.—Prince Ferdinand said yes- terday in the course of an interview that he did notexpect any serious consequences to follow the killing of Finance Minister Balt- chef. The Prince, was, however, prepared for further attempts on the lives of his Premier, M. Stambuloff, and himself. ‘‘Bul- garia,’’ Prince Ferdinand added, ‘‘would not allow itself to be driven into any ill-consid- ered action because of the outrage.’’ The crime simply imposed upon the Government the necessity for discovering and punishing the murderers. MINERS IN COUNCIL. TROUBLE CROPPING OUT AT THE CONFERENCE IN PARIS. Paris, April 4.—The trouble in the Miners’ International Congress at Paris is similar to that which developed at the Berlin labor conference. The English representatives, whose constituency is comparatively well paid and inclined to be conservative, is brought into conflict with people who iden- tify the cause of the miners and labor gener- ally with extreme Socialism, and whose methods and suggestions are not such as En- glishmen care to approve, for the reason that English miners long ago passed the stage that makes such methods and suggestions possible. The English delegates are deter- mined not to be bound in advance to follow the dictates ofa socialistic majority, when such dictates may involve antagonism to con- stituted authority. They prefer the English to the Continental way ofagitation and they are resolved, besides, not to enter into any arrangement that will withhold from British mining industries their due proportion of influence and representation. The latest ad- vices indicate that, for these reasons prin- cipally, the Conference may fall to effect a universal combination of miners. TRADE RELATIONS, GOING TO WASHINGTON TO DISCUSS RECIPROC- ITY WITH MR. BLAINE. OTTAWA, Ontario, April4.—Sir John Thomp- son, Minister of Justice, and G. E. Foster, Finance Minister, leave for Washington to- morrow to discuss with Mr. Blaine the trade relations of the two countries. It is under- stood that Mr. Blaine has indicated his readi- ness to discuss these matters between them. A Cabinet council was held until late last night dealing with Manitoba provincial legislation. The first act considered was that of abolishing the use of French in the Legis- lature and in judicial proceedings. It was polnted out that this actis at variance with the provisions of the Manitoba act confirmed by the Imperial Legislature, and that it is doubtful whether the Legislature had power to pass suchanact. It wasanact, however, the constitutionality of which might be tested in the courts, and was not thought desirable that power of disallowance should be exer- cised. It was decided to leave the act abolish- ing separate schools in the province to be tested in the courts, the Dominion Govern- ment to defray the expense of the same. STEAMER LIBELED. HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, April 4.—The steamer Cacher, which was picked up at sea by the steamer Clintonia, while in a helpless condi- tion and towed into this port, was libeled in the Admiralty Court yesterday for $25,000 dam ages. CAPTURE OF FORT THABAT. BRAVERY OF INDIAN TROOPS LED BY AN EXNG- 7 LISH OFFICER. CALCUTTA, April 4.—Further details con- cerning the capture of Fort Thabat, which Is situated sixteen miles from Manipur, the scene ofthe recent massacre of British troops by the natives, have been received here. Ac- cording to these later advices the British force which carried the works by assault numbered only eighty Indlan troops, under command of Lieut. Grant. The garrison of nslaught of the British force was so erce that the Manipuris fied from their forti- fied position in wild disorder. Reinforcements have been dispatched to the assistance af Lieut. Grant, but it is feared that the Mantpuris will return and attack the British detachment in full force before the reinforcements can reach the scene of the battle. be’ one was composed of 900 Manipuris, but 0 KILLED AT MANIPUR. RANGOON, April 4.—Some natives of Manipur who have arrived here report that Chief Commissioner James W. Quinton, who was taken prisoner at the time of the Manipur massacre, was, together with the party of officers who accompanied him, killed on the first day of the fighting at Manipur. The unfortunate party was made up of, Chief Commissioner Quinton, Political Agent Grinwood, Col. Skone, commanding the Ghoorkas, and Messrs. Cossens and Simpson, attaches of the commission. On the first day of the fight (March 20) the British, finding their ammunition to be ex- hausted notified the enemy that they desired to parley. To this proposition the Manipuris seemed to agree, and accordingly the gentle- men above riamed went out to at- temp an arrangement. Immediately upon their arrival within his lines Chief Jabrai, who led the insurrectionary natives, seized the party and held them as prisoners. Since then their fate has been in doubt, while the present news needs confr- mation, there is unfortunately too much reason for believing that the treachery of the Manipuris has been consummated by the murder of Commissioner Quinton and his comrades. WIND AND SNOW. A Severe Storm Throughout the New En- gland States. BosTrow, Mass., April 4.—Thursday night’s storm has resulted n the general demoraliza- tion of the telegraph service out of Boston. Neither the Western Union nor the Postal Telegraph Co. had a wire working to New York yesterday and the associated Press wires were down in all directions. IN CONNECTICUT. Winstep, Conn., April 4.—The snow storm which began here at 8 o’clock on Thursday night did not cease until 6 o’clock yesterday morning, at which hour the snow lay nine- teen inches deep on the level. The country roads are badly drifted, but the snow is heavy. IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. NasHva, N.

STRIKERS MASSING. — — ß — Preparing for the Funeral of Their THE LARGEST DEMONSTRATION EVER | SEEN IN THE COKE REGION, Long Lines of Men Viewing the Bodies— Trouble Likely to Occur After the Burial Ceremonies— Troops in Readi- ness to Put Down an Outbreak—Mr. Frick’s Statement, MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa., April 4. Arne situa- | tion in the coke regions has not materially changed within the last twenty-four hours. The troops have charge of the coke com- panies’ property, and the feeling prevails that as long as the militia remains there will be no more lawlessness. The soldiers can’t stay always, however, and it is feared that unless the strike is settled before they are called home the depredations will be renewed just as soon as their backs areturned. The feeling among the strikers is intensely bitter, but they are careful to commit no overt act and content themselves with scow!l- ing at the militia and muttering in unintelligible tongues. Some apprehensions are felt that an outbreak will occur at the funeral of the victims this afternoon. The strikers are massing at Scottdale, and the largest demonstration ever held in the coke country is expected. The funeral will start from Mt. Pleasant at 2:30 p. m., and the cor- tege will reach Scottdale about an hour and a halflater. The march tothe Catholic ceme- tery will then de taken up, and not less than 10,000 coke workers will follow the bodies to the grave. Rev. Fathers Lambing and Smeigle will conduct the services. The bodies will de buried in a long trench, which was dug this morning. Every precaution has have been closed for the day, and five com- panies of the Eighteenth Regiment under command of Col. Smith are now on the ground. VIEWING THE DEAD. Yesterday and this morning thousands of people viewed the bodies of the men who were shot at Morewood. They lay in the car- riage house of Zimmerman’s undertaking es- tablishment. They were stretched out side by side on a long platform, around which the crowd surged in its eagerness to get a glimpse of the dead. Each of the dead men was dressed in a robe of brown material witha white collar, necktie and shirt front showing under the chin. They are all young men, and with the exception of Cressango Binero, the Italian, and Valentine Zindle, they will be buried at Scottdale to-morrow by the county in the Catholic. cemetery at that place. With the exception of Bineroand Rist, all of the dead worea ghastly and grim look that seemed to awe the spectators. The natural yellow complexions of the dead did not seem to fall away with the ebb of their life-blood, and as they lay upon the slab it was hard to realize that they were the vic- tims of the awful tragedy at Morewood. Their faces were cleanly shaven, and on the breast of each was placed asymbol of the Roman oe Church, while around the wrists of a few were twined the beads upon which they Shad been accustonted to repeat their pra; From 9 yesterday morning until 10 to-day an un- broken line of foreigners, about one in ten of whom could speak English, filed around the bier upon which the dead lay. Sobs and groans were heard on every side and crowds collected about the clothing which the vic- tims had last worn. Judging from their actions they will prove vipers to the men who did the shooting. CAPT. LOAR’S DANGER. Itis well-known among the citizens that the lives of Capt. Loar and his deputies would be in jeopardy should the militia be with- drawn. The foreigners are excited to a de- gree bordering on frenzy and although they are keeping all demonstrations within the pale ofthe law there is no doubt that they are determined to wreak vengeance event- ually on the people who are responsible for the death oftheir countrymen. The scene in the Morgue was one that is not often witnessed. of the thousands who viewed the remains scarcely a man came in whose countenance was not drawn and scowlingas he gazed on the work of the rifies and hundreds of women vented their anger and anguish in terms that could not be mistaken. They were miners, cokers and theirwives. The latter are more revengeful, if anything, than the men and are considered more dangerous antagonists. The physical characteristics of all were short, stout statures, square faces, firm jaws, small eyes, heavy foreheads, high cheek bones and forbidding countenance3. SENTINELS ON GUARD. It is very quiet hereto-day. Thestreets are deserted, most of the Hungarians having quietly departed for Scottdale during the night. The hills surrounding are covered with snow, and nota soul is to be seen, with the exception of the sentinels, who pace to and fro. The coke company is not making any effort here at present to get men to fill the places of strikersas yet. They are keeping the pumps going,and have enough men to run the engine and boilers: and keep the mines in good condition. One peculiar feature of the whole situation is that, although they have been out of work for over a month, they still seem to have considerable money, and from outward appearances are not suffer- ing for any. They all seem to be keeping sober. In fact, not one of them has been seen on the street in an intoxicated con- dition. From the bankers it is learned the foreign element which constitutes 75 or 80 per cent of the workers of the region now striking has moreor less funds. Inthe Mt. Pleasant Bank there is a large list of depositors whose savings range from $60 to $8,000. Of this money very little has been withdrawn. How these people live without drawing money is difficult for Amer- icans to understand, yet such are the facts. To those who have no money, and they ap- pear to bein the minority, the labor organ- — are furnishing from $2 to $8.50 per w ‘ WILL CONTINUE THE STRIKE. Tt seems therefore that the claim of the labor leaders that the strike can be continued for several months is not far wrong. There is no longer any doubt that the strike will be continued indefinitely and with a bitterness never before’ experienced in a strike. It is not beyond probability thatifthe strikers find they are debarred from them to stop work will be adopted. Some of the men at work have been heard to express such fears. An intelligent Hun, in of their future action, said: hold any meeting until to-morrow afternoon, and then we will decide on what todo. There ME.

In every strike in the coke region these are the men who have deen used and found to be pliant tools whenever v ce is to be done. The public s allow itself to be blinded to the real of the present trouble. The ersy is now not one be- tween our companies &@ its employes, but it is between the la authority of our commonwealth and a mob of irre- sponsible men in hands of cun- ning demagogues. breach of the peace and violation of law of our land is not the result of a gush of uncon- trollable passion but is the result of a deep laid sch and well planned attempt to overri he authority at our State. None of the foreigners who are advised that their living depends upon their resort to violence are to blame s, but those who give that advice are e. They have called meetings of these foreigners and have incited them by in speeches, well knowing that when e ed they will resort to violence, and then to exonerate them- selves by saying that this foreign element has gotten beyond their contrpl.. It needs no ar- gument to show that thig violence is the re- sult of such acts and the public press and the lawful authorities of our State should fix on them the responsibility rather than upon the deluded foreigners. SIGNS OF TROUBLE. WHAT A MILITIAMAN LEARNED BY GOING AMONG THE ; SCOTTDALE, Fa., April 4—A bloody battle between the troops and tiie strikers is expect- ed within the next two Gays. On Thursday night Private Kellar of Company D, Eigh- teenth regiment, was detailed to act as in- terpreter to Gen. Wiley. Private Kellar speaks seven langvages and among them he classes the Hungarian, Austrian, German, Polish, Slav and Italian. Yesterday Gen. Wiley directed him to le with the strik- ers and if possible learn t their intentions were for the future. He so and when he returned to headquarters he sald: attack me until I tongue, In one house I saw gunsand a number of revolyers and in the other se [saw three ns several revolvers. Five out of every ten of them have served in the armies of the old country and they know what soldiers are. say that the soldiers who have been brought here are simply working men like themselves, and will notinterfere with them. I saw one of their Ts to-day and in one portion of it I found Gq article which stated that there was not a regu among the soldiers who had been brought to the regions, and that they need not be afraid of the militiamen, who were novicesand did not know anything more sbout warfare than the strikers themselves. They also know all) the mem- bers of the locai company d the Tenth Regiment, and I heard them ridiculing hem. As far as I have discovered there is going to be trouble, and it will come within the next two days. Allof the Hungari- ans have money, and they Ge ius dangerous mood over the killing of the men at Mo weed, which they ali claim was entirely unjustifiable. Kellar’s warning hag deen heard and heeded. When daylight fell upon the faces of the g inhabit this Tégion the sen of the State had men posted at every point where an outbreak was feared. The troops are supplied with Dall cartridges and the officersin command of the various guards have strict orders to fire if need be on any mob which shall aghem pt to molest them orany of their property which they are guarding. Notwithstanding these precautions it is conceded that some unpro- tected spot may have been left where the mob will wreak vengeance for the affair of Thursday morning. IT WAS SUICIDE. The Body of a Man Found on the Rail- road Track Near Holden, Mo. HOLDEN, Mo., April 4.—Fragments of the body of A. D, Morgan,a piano and organ dealer, were discovered on the railroad track eight miles east of thiscity to-day. It was no doubt a suicide, for Morgan attempted to poison himself last Wednesday, but did not succeed. He had been convicted of bigamy, but secured anew trial and was confident of acquittal, but ithad recently been learned that he forged the name of S. G. Kinder to a note and also to a consignment bond given to Estey &Camp, and it is supposed that he thought he would be arrested for these forgeries and certainly go the penitentiary, which induced him to kill himself. JOHN KERN. Mxur mts, Mo., April 4.—John Kern, a farm- er who has been successful, though he has been insane several times, Killed himself yes- terday by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. TOOK THE SAME METHOD. DALLAS, Tex., April 4.—A. G. Campbell, a popular and successful young business man, cut his throat with a razor Thursday night. He had become a consumptive and his friends had just persuaded him to agree to goto Dr. Hammond's institute in Washington for a year for treatment. They were with him Thursday night and in the morning he was found dead. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., April 4.—When Mr. J. 8. Ambrose and family returned yesterday from Eureka Springs they found their house closed and George Ebert, their German gardener and hostler, missing. Mr. Ambrose went to the barn where he slept, and found Ebert dead with his throat terribly gashed. He had written on a slate the address of a sister in Pittsburg. WILL JOIN HER HUSBAND. Mrs. Bently Still Faithful to the Man Who | Proved Unfaithful to Her. Mrs. A. W. Bently, residing at 2739 Morgan street, wife of the man arrested a week ago at Birmingham, Ala., ona charge of unlaw- fully living with a Miss Sarah Smith, says this morning that she will leave for Birming- ham to join her husband in a few days, and that she still loves him despite all his faults about, but intimated that she was to go to me ge ca og Coe pe & as she could ar- ‘nas and Gonzales seated themselves made an Offer for the ring which was ac- the Grand 10., ETRAUD OUTDONE.

A Tragedy More Shocking in Details Than the Paris Case—The Arkansas Confi- dence Operators Rearrested—Terrible Crime at Bloomington, Ind.—The Day’s Record—Criminal News in Brief. NEW York, April 4.—The details of a mur- der which, though striking in similarity, outrivals the celebrated Eyraud case at Paris were received from San Jose, Guate- mala, yesterday. The case will probably claim the attention of Inspector Byrnes to- day. Carlos Santibanez, one of the most prominent bankers of Guatemala. mysteri- ously disappeared on the 29th of last Novem- ber. Mr. Santibanez had a habit of carrying large sums of money, valuable diamonds, jewelry, etc.,about with him. His friends had remonstrated with him, saying that his life was constantly, in danger in a country where bandits and rufflans abounded, but Mr. Santibanez laughed at this friendly advice. He said that he felt that the money and jewelry were safer on his person than if they were stored away in the vaults of his bank. He was eccentric in his habits, and as he often left his home and remained away for two orthree days at atime, his family and friends attached no importance at first to his sudden disappearance on the th of Novem- ber last. When a week had passed, however, with no tidings from the banker his family became alarmed, and the case was put in the hands of the police. The rivers were dragged and inguiries were sent broadcast without avail. Finally, after weeks of fruitiess searching and after thousands of dollars had been spent in following baseless clews, the seairch was abandoned and the disappearance of Santibanez was acknowledged by the po- lice to be a formidable mystery. A TELL-TALE RING. About the ist of February, however, the mystery was entirely cleared up by the con- fession of the murderer of Santibanez while under the influence of liquor. On that day Carlos Cardenas, a merchant of San Jose, was accosted on the street by a Spaniard named Gonzales, who lived in the outskirts of the town. Gonzales showed Mr. Cardenas a beautiful topaz ring and asked him to make an offer for it. Mr. Cardenas saw that the ring was a valuable one and at once sus- pected foul play. On the pretense of closing a bargain he invited Gonzales to accompany him to the neighboring liquor store. Carde- at a table and drank together several times, Gon- zales discoursing on the qualities of his topaz ring, which he seemed extremely anxious to sell. Cardenas examined the ring closely and recognized it as belonging to his friend, Carlos Santibanez. Cardenas, who had been an intimate friend of Santibanez, concluded that Gonzales was in possession of facts that might explain the disappearance of Santi- danez and determined to get the Spaniard under the influence of liquor and, if possible, secure a confession from him, Mr. Cardenas J cepted. He detained Gonzales and succeeded in getting him intoxicated. THE MURDERER’S CONFESSION. Gonzales became confidential aftera time and told Mr. Oardenas a story that almost turned the gentleman’s blood cold. Gonzales said that he knew that Banker Santtbanez continually carried large sums of money about with himand he resolved to get the money and cover up the crime in sucha manner that it would be impossible to detect the murderer. He resolved to secure more money than the banker usually carried about with him, and about the 2th of November wrote to Santibanez stating that he had a number of bills of exchange on American banks which he wished to dispose of advan- tageously, and requested the banker to call at his house, in the outskirts ofthecity of San Jose, on the 2th of November, for the purpose of inspecting them. He also re- quested Santibanez to come prepared to pay for them, as he was about to leave the coun- try. Mr. Santibanez answered the letter in person on the 29th by going to the house of Gonzales, where his knock wa answered, said Gonzales, by my mistres@ a-most beau- tiful woman, who asked him to wait for a little, as her husband was not in at the time. Then the Spaniard described with great enthusiasm how the supposed Mrs. Gonzales entertained the wealthy banker and got him completely under her control. THE TRAGEDY. When Mr. Santibanez was kissing the woman Gonzales and another Spaniard dashed into the room and assaulted the ban- ker with knives, Gonzales doing most of the stabbing while his mistress and his com- panion held the unfortunate man down to the floor. When life was extinct they removed all his valuables. Gonzales then put the mutilated body into an air-tight chest and a few days later shipped the box to New York. This startling story was immediately fol- lowed by the arrest of Gonzales, his. friend and his mistress. Gonzales and his assistant will undoubtedly be hanged, while the mistress of Gonzales will probably be imprisoned for life. The affair has created great excitement in San Jose. It is said to be the most brutal murder ever committed in Guatemala. CALENDAR OF CRIME. THROAT—AN AWFUL OR OFFENSES. BLOOMINGTON, III.. March 4.—Ward De- marce, aged 22 years old, cut his mother’s throat from ear to ear yesterday afternoon, and then severed hisown windpipe. Theaw- ful deed was witnessed by a 12-year-old daughter of the now dead woman. Her mother, Mrs. L. D. Demarce, was in bed, and the girl was reading some distance away in the room. She heard a noise at the bed- side, and then saw the son cut his mother’s throat. The next moment he knelt on the floor and cut his own throat. The girl gave the alarm, but mother and son were dead be- fore anyone could reach the scene. The young man is thought to have gone insane from hard study.

O’SHEA’S LINE OF DEFENSE. He Will Plead That His Deputies Are Re- sponsible for Bad Inspection. The prospects are that the action of the State Board of Grain Inspectors will be brought before the courts inashort time, and Ohief Inspector O’Shea has already taken steps to prepare for his defense. The suits, at least four in number, will be brought on the ground that loss has been suffered by shippers from the fact that their grain has been inspected at one point higher than at another, and the claim is that the funds col- lected by the Inspection Bureau can be drawn upon to pay any judgment that may be granted. From the steps taken by O’Shea it is evident that he does not intend to make any attempt to defend the manner in which grain has been inspected, but that his sole desire is to avoid personal responsibility. Last week a request was made upon Attorney-General Wood to give his opinion on the question asto whether or not the Inspection Bureau could be held re- sponsible for the errors of Deputy Inspect- ors. Mr. Wood's reply was received yester- day. He gave it as his opinion that the ship- per who suffered by reason of ignorant in- spection could have no recourse tothe Chief Inspector, but must bring suit against the deputy in fault. When this de- cision was made known to grain receivers, theer was very general dissatisfaction, and it is now certain that the matter will be brought before the courts. A number of attorneys of high standing have been consulted, and all disagreed with Attorney-General Wood. Their ground isthat the deputies are mere agents and that the Chief Inspector is re- sponsible for their acts. Fees are paid to the Chief Inspectorand he isthe only man of- ficially known in connection with the matter. To possess the authority of his office while Molding its responsibilities is regarded as illegal, and for self-protection an effort will be made to have the mattertested in the courts. THE MILLINGTON MURDER. Closing the Case for the Defense—Some Important Testimony. DENVER, Colo., April 4.—Lawyer Devine testified inthe Millington murder trial yes- terday. He is the attorney whom Wm. B. Avery is said to have consulted when Mrs. Avery came to Denver to getadivorce. He testified as to Avery’s statements of his suf- ferings from catarrh and gastritis. Frank Smith of Greeley testified to having dined with Avery at Mrs. Hardin’s in Denver on April 16, and noticing how much pepper Avery used on his food. Avery had said that if witness were undergoing what he was he could eat anything. Charles Ramer, Post- master of Fort Collins, testified as to Avery’s symptoms on the last day of his illness, the sinking spell, twitching of the toes, the in- jection, etc. He was, present at Avery’s' death. Avery said he wanted Pear! to have the farm, and tried to tell what was to go to Mary, but could not be understood. His last words were: Be good to Mary! Be good to Mary!“ 8 Dr. Small denied having told Frank Avery that he had destroyed the viscera. Mrs. Grim testified that Avery was not strong and could not keep up with others at work on the ranch. Mrs. Horton, a washerwoman, testi- fled that she had frequently seen Avery sick and vomiting. John M. Hardy, Millington’s room-mate at Fort Collins, testified that he never saw Mrs. Avery visit Millington, Other witnesses testified as to Avery’s stomach trouble. The question of the introduction of the jug containing the fluid with which Avery was embalmed and ofthe syringe as evi- dence will be argued later on. JOHN 8. CLARKSON.

New Yorx, April 4.—The Mail and Express publishes the following to-day: beep able to obtain the personal views of the Marquis Di Rudini on the present rather complicated diplomatic situation do- tw this country and the United States. I was not able to see the Prime Minister as he prefers to not talk directly for publication while negotiations are pending for the settlement of the dim culty, but I asked an intimate friend of mine who is also a close personal friend of the Marquis to learn his attitude aside from the misrepresentations which are almost insepa- rable from newspaper reports, u ich are founded on somewhat remote hearsay. This gentleman, speaking on behalf of the cor- respondent, asked the Marguis Di Rudini precisely how he felt toward the United States at this mo- ment. The Prime Minister’s reply was that he harbored none but the most friendly sentiments toward the United States Govern- ment, and that these had not really been dis- turbed by the action which he felt called upon to take as the representative of the Italian people, upon being officially made acquainted with the New Orleans affairs and the position which Mr. Blaine was obliged to take in the matter. He said that he had no intention of pushing any demands, and was content with having taken one positive step as a protest against what he was led to believe at the time was a neglect on the part of the United States Government to protect the lives of Italian citizens in America, under the provisions of the treaty. He expressed himself as aware that to do anything more at this juncture would be a grave error on his part, as he had perfect confidence in the sin- cerity and justice of the United States Gov- ernment. Finally he said: I shall now simply wait for further detalls of the New Orleans affair, of the characters of the slain men, of the Louisiana authorities and of the intentions of the United States Government; but, what- ever these may be, I am quite sure that a settlement thoroughly satisfactory to both parties will be found, and that the friendship whic alterable and secure.“ BARON FAVA TOO ILL TO SAIL FOR ITALY—PROTECTION FOR BRITISH SUBJECTS. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 4.—Baron Fava though somewhat better this morning is still quite weak and confined to his room.

A correspondent directed Sir Julian Paunce- fote’s attention to-day, to the statement that the English government has asked him to report what protection is afforded British subjects in the United States. He repiied: „1 have received no such communication from my government.’’ THE MAFIA. SECRET EMMISARIES PLANNING REVENGE FOR THE NEW ORLEANS KILLING. PITTSBURG, Pa., April4.—Word comes from New Castle, Pa., ofa story told by Sebastian Gabarrio, the leader ofthe Italian workmen at the little town of Wampum. Mr. Gabarrio is a property owner and stands very well in the community. He at- taches great importance and significance to the story he tells. He says that yesterday an Italian, a stranger to him, took him aside and asked him to join a concerted movement to avengethe deaths of the men lynched in New Orleans. The plan, as laid out by the stranger, was to get up an army of 20,000 Italians and within five hours capture Pittsburg. Mr. Gabarrio is a natural- ized citizen,and will do all he can to stop trouble. Here at Pittsburg the Itallans are gathering fast. For a week they have been ar - ‘riving in ones and twos, but last night they came in droves. The police are trying to learn the reason for this influx but have found out nothing. The prevalent opinion is that the New Orleans lynchings have a good deal to do with ft. K FIRED ON THE FLAG. KryesTon, N.

THE NATION’S ENERGY. ou speak of the energy of our people. „„es; judging by the results, it is evident that we havea superior people, in what the French during the revolution called energy, to any other people. During the war the concentrated energy of the North, or rather, the Government, was against the concen- trated energy of the South. Now, these two forces have come together and the resistant is not easily estimated. When Robert Lee had our victorious troops in his front at Williamsport his engineers built a bridge of boats from planks and boards in a day—a bridge that carried over the in portion of his army and landed it in safety on the other Shore.

New Yorn, April 4.—A special to the Herald from Washington says that three of the vessels of the squadron of evolution have recently been grounded and their bot- toms so badiy damaged that Admiral Walker has recommended to the department that they be ordered to Norfolk at once for repairs. The Chieago, Atlanta and the Boston are the vessels. The Jatter,. it is reported, was aground no less than three times. How seri ous the damages are will not be known until the vessels are docked. THE WILKESBARRE BANDITS. THE MURPERERS OF FLANNAGAN AND M’CLURE HARBORED IN ITALY. MARRISHURG, a., April 4.—In the unex- pected turn that affairs have taken in the Italo- American controversy, it may be that two more of the Itallan murderers of Flan- Dagan and McClure, the mine boss and mine paymaster, who were murdered and robbed pear Wilkesbarre, two years ago, may be brought to justice. It will be remembered that Red Nose Mike’’ and another Italian suffered the death penalty at Wilkesbarre for thig murder, and that the detectives located two more of the murderers in Italy, whither they bad fied to enjoy the money they had se- cured. Through some hitch the Italian Gov- ernment has never surrendered these mur Gerers to the United States authorities, although an officer, properly authorized was sent over to bring them here for trial. The statement is made here that these two Italians are either in jail in Italy or under police sur- veiliance. This fact is known to Secretary Biaihe, and it is said that he is preparing papers in the matter to be used in connection with the United States Government's report to Italy on the New Orleans affairs and in answer to the demand for indemnity for the friends of the men who were lynched in New Orleans. The money stolen from Flanagan and Me- OClure at the time they were murdered was little less than $20,000, and the fact that the Italian Government still harbors two of the murderers may complicate matters and eventually lead to their being delivered to the United States authorities. Secretary Blaine has been gathering particulars of the Flannagan and McClure murder and the amount stolen, and within the past few hours has asked for certain information from peo- ple in Harrisburg. — —— CLAIMS HIS CHILD.

WIGGINS AREESTED AND LOCKED UP ON A CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. A Prominent Business Man’s Failure and His Flight With His Private Gecretary —Singular Attachment of a Young Girl tor a Man With a Wife and Seven Child- ren. Business complications, the employment of a young and pretty private secretary, a crim- inal action for embezzlemeut, rumors of un- due fondness for his amenuensis and their flight together to St. Louis are features in the downfalj of Oliver Wiggins. Two months ago he was the manager of a prominent music house at Bvansville, Ind., and beld a high head in the social and commercial circles of that flourishing little Indiana city. Two days ago he was arrested in this city and spent an hourin the holdover at the Four Oliver Wiggins was raised in Evansville and grew up among the best people of that littie city and Louisville, across the river. He married well, and for the past two years has lived with his wife and interesting family in one of the most aristocratic reési- Gences in Evansville. He was employed as manager for the Schmidt Music house, a concern under the control of Charles Ritter. The latter, in addition to his interest in the music establishment, was actively em- ployed in the management ofa local bank- ing-house and was looked upon as a most substantial citizen. He was foremost in all of Evansville’s business enterprises and put his capital at the back of his schemes. Less than two months ago his fatlure was announced and Evansville financial circles were shocked totheir innermost. First the music house assigned for the benefit of its creditors and then the banking establishment closed its doors. Ritter’s finances were found to be in bad shape andthe tongues of the gossips ran rife with rumors of the most sensational nature. Theaffairs were placed jin the hands of a trustee, and Wiggins, a tried and trusted man, was again put in charge of the music house for the purpose of avoiding a sacrifice in the closing out of the stock. MISS CLARA K. ERTHAL. It is here that Miss Clara E. Erthal first fig- ures in the case. Miss Erthal was the daugh- ter ofa well-known manufacturer and iron- worker whose shops, while not extensive, had placed him in a prominent position in the business interests of the little city. The young lady had just passed her 20th year and her dark brunette beauty served but to at- tract attention to her literary and musical accomplishments. Miss Erthal was a thor- ough musician, and more as a means of bet- ter gratifying her tastes in this direction than for the pecuniary gain she had for some time previous to the fallure of the Schmidt house acted as a correspondent for the firm. When Wiggins was reinstated as manager ofthe concern under the trus- tee’s Jurisdiction he sent for Miss Erthal and employed her as private secretary in his of- fice. In this capacity the young lady was en- gaged for several weeks. Her friends and the general public as well noticed her in timacy with Wiggins, but naturally at- tributed such to the necessities of their com- mon business interests. Wiggins was yet on the sunny side of %, but he had a faithful wife and seven little ones and the thought of small voice which would speak. Then came the denouement. Wiggins, against whose honesty none dared even to breathe complaint, was taken into custody on the strength ofa warrant charging him with em- begzlement. He wasin custody only a short time when he secured a sufficient bond and was released to await a preliminary hearing. This was two weeks ago. Miss Erthal an- nounced to her parents that she was going on a short vit to friends in Chicago, and when objections were made to such a sudden departure, packed up her effects and left the house without a word. That night she left Pvansville. The following day it was found that Oliver Wiggins was also gone. . THE FLIGHT. The frenzied father—for the first time the least suspicious enced an immediate investigation, only to learn that Miss Erthal and Wiggins had been seen together on the outbound Loulsvile & Evansville train for the West. He communicated his suspicions to the Chief of the Evansville police, who co- operated with the Louisville police author- ities in the endeavor to te the run- 2 | a Ae: ze a 5 — 45, > Sa 2 — these was not enough to still the * f Wiggins and Erthal had not remained the previous night atthe house. During their inquiry the officers had learned that Wiggins was well to the proprietor of a music house On Olive, between Twelfth and Thir- teenth streets, and to this establishment they directed their steps. MET HIS ERRING DAUGHTER. At the corner of Thirteenth and Locust streets they came face to face with the ob- oftheir search. Both Wiggins and Miss wert taken completely by surprise, yet maintained their composure to a remark- able degree. It was a walk of but a few blocks to the Four Courts, and the quartette soon entered the private door leading to Chief Harfigan’s office. Then ensued a heartrending scene. Mr. Erthal, a gray-haired man, the convulsive twitchings of whose naturally strong face showed 1 he endured, threw his hands on — shoulders, dropped his head and arme and sobbed aloud in his sorrow. Miss Erthal shook him off and moved away. „My daughter, my daughter!’’ moaned the frenzied man, to think that you should have so disgraced yourself and your father,’’ and he dropped into a convenient chair and gave way to his feelings of humiliation and @isgrace which he had striven in vain to overcome, Neither Wiggins nor Miss Erthal had uttered a word. Both stood calm and impassive. Then Maj. Harrigan took a hand, By close and Careful questioning he so confused the couple that Wiggins refused to converse and Miss Erthal burst into tears. Wiggins was then removed from the room andan effort was made to prevail upon the young lady to return to her home. But she was obstinate, and Maj. Harrigan ordered Wiggins to be locked up. Detectives Viehle and Ziegler conducted the suave music man to a cell in the Holdover and left him to his reflections. It took Miss Erthal less than an hour to change her mind, Wiggins had sent Maj. Harrigan a communication asking what charge was preterred against him. He was answered to the effect that he would be in- tormed in due time. RETURNED HOME WITH HER FATHER. Then he changed his tune, and asked to see Miss Erthal, When again brought into the Ohief’s office he begged the young lady to return with her father to her home, which she agreed to do only after being assured that on the strength of her promise Wiggins would be released. The prisoner was then given his liberty and his present whereabouts are not known. Before he left the Four Courts he told Chief Harrigan that he would appear in Evansville at the time the embezzlement case was called for trial, and tried hard to re-assume the bold face he had worn prévious to his incarcera- tion. That same night Mr. Erthal and his daugh- ter left for Evansville together. To put the matter in as favorable alight as the circum- stances would permit, the father insisted thatthere had been no wrong-doing on the young lady’s part, and intimated that Wig- gins’ only object in inducing his daughter to leave her home was to prevent the county authorities from subpcenaing her to testify against him in the embezzlement action. Wiggins’ deserted wife and their seven chil- dren are still in Evansville, and the little city isallagog with excitement over the sensa- tional happening.

CIRCULARS OF A VICIOUS CHARACTER DISTRIBUTED ABOUT TOWN TO-DAY. A Feature of a Very Deprecable Character Added to the Local Cam paign—Indorsed by Republicans—The Democratic Mass Meeting To-Night—The Political Play —General Campaign News. The political interest of to-day centered in alittie four-page pink circular, which was very generally distributed last night, attack- ing the Catholic Church and charging it with meddling in and controlling politics in St. Louis. A more vicious and brazen attack was never made, but fortunately the disposition of the people was to laugh at the idiocy of the cranks who sent outthe circular and en- deavored to make religion an issue in the present election. The circular was ad dressed: ‘‘Tothe Gentlemen of the House,’’ and beneath the heading was this line, Shall American. institutions be main- tained?’’ It contained a number of al- leged quotations from Papal letters, the writings of prominent Oatholics, and from Catholic newspapers to prove the most remarkable things; that Catholics disapprove of education; that they do not regard the obligation of an oath; that the Catholic Church commands its members to violate the laws and deciares it a crime to obey them, and a quantity of stuff equally absurd. A HANDFUL OF CRUMBS. The source of the ridiculous article may be easily traced. Some weeks ago there was a meeting of Methodist, Baptist and Presby- terian ministers in Dr. Ford’s church, the Second Baptist, to protest against ‘‘the domination of the Catholic Ohurch in civil government. Shortly after came a man to St. Louis, whohas spent his time delivering to meetings bitter attacks onthe Catholic Church. And last of all, comes the vicious circular, just before the election. It will be remembered that just before the last election, in November, a similar circular was issued, and at the time it was the sub- ject of a good deal of talk. The whole thing emanates from a handful ofcranks, who have organized themselves into the Sons of the United States of America. Nobody knew before that the United States were a father, but James H.

Nearly every man who went there was in possession of or had seen one of the anti-Catholic circulars which had been so zeal - ously circulated during the night. All of the politicians of every class and grade from the big bosses down to the little heelers united in condemning the author and circulator of the little four-page pink paper assault. TO FIND THE MAN WHO DID IT. Every effort was made this morning to learn where the circular came from and who was responsible for it. The Street Department cohorts, whose dally task isto watch people throwing circulars, were instructed to get out and find one ofthe distributors and ar- rest him on suspicion, andin that way run down if possible the man or men doing the dirty work. Mayor Noonan was not in his office this morning, but Jim Brennan had received the circular, and after looking over it rolled it into a ball and threw it in the cuspidor. The only sentiment expressed concerning it was **Where is the man that did it?’’ IT IS A FREAK. At the end of the circular were the names of the candidates for both the House and the Council, and opposite the names of certain ones was a capital C, whicha foot note said stood for Catholic. The evident purpose of this could well be devised from the circular, The Council candidates were grouped in a pe- culiar way. In the first group was the reg- ular Democratic ticket with a big C opposite the names of Cullinane ana Wehner. In the second group were Hammerstein, Nagel, Wilkerson, Haynes, Gruner and Comfort without a O after any name. The third group contained the names of Pauley ,O’Connor and Vogel with the C, and Grassmuck, Ripley and Dutro without if. A design might be charged in view of this peculiar grouping if any one would waste time enough to hunt for a de- sign in the idiotic publication, but happily the people who spoke of it to-day regarded it, as such attempts are always regarded in this country, as simply a freak. Indorsed by an Republican Olub. At a reguiar meeting of the Fourteenth Ward Republican League Club, held last night at Morische’s Hall, Twentieth street and Cass avenue, the mémbers passed a reso- lution indorsing the Independent ticket, and they also agreed to go to the polls and do what they could to elect the Independent candidates. In adopting this resolution the club declared that it was simply following in line with the honest citizens against boodlers and bosses. | Candidate Coyne Issues a Circular.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.—At a meeting this week of Chinese merchants it was agreed to petition the Chinese Minister at Washington, protesting in the name of the Chinese residents in California against the appointment of Senator Blair as Minister to China, and request- ing the Ohinese Minister to bring the matter tothe attention ofthe President of the United States. The Chinese merchants state that Senator Blair has shown antagon- ism toward their race, and that their protest is made on that account. They declare that the Chinese Government will not receive Senator Blair as United States Minister, MAY GO TO ALASKA. PROPOSED VOYAGE OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON TERRITORIES. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 4.—It 4s possi- ble that thecruiser Charleston, now at San Francisco, may go to Alaska. The Senate Committee on Territories is about to vigit Alaska, and so far have been unable to make arrangements with private transportation companies tofurnish a steamer at what the committee regard as reasonable rates. AS they are under instructions from the Senate to ascertain the needs of Alaska for a territorial form of Government, it is felt that a visit to that sectionof the coufitry is necessary. Accordingly, the Sec- retary of the Navy will be requested to send o party to Alaska on the Charleston, the committee assuming that the vessel may be as well so employed as in ordinary cruising. The Charleston is now fittingout at Mare Island with a view to sailing for Chili ina few weeks if her presence appears to be necessary there. A WOULD-BE SUICIDE. George Henry Meuhaus’ Attempt to Take His Own Life This Morn About noon to-day George Henry M us, a German laborer, walked into Gottleib Beerman’s saloon on Broadway and Hemp- stead and called for a glass ofbeer. While drinking it he jsuddenly fell into an uncon scious condition. When Drought to he an- nounced in a maudlin wav that he had 8 take his life a short time before by dosing himself with laudanum, and asked the bystanders to attend his funeral. The man Was carried to Dr. Pitser's office at 1110 Chambers — — he was pumped four children at 1824 North Ninth street. AMONG THE BROKERS: There was very little doing on the Mining Exchange, but as a rule prices were firm, = ein the spring of 1890 I ex- perienced that tired, dull feeling, and what sleep I had nights seemed to do me no good. Dyspepsia seized me, and each morning in thé effort to get rid of the bad taste I had severe vomiting spells. I was much discouraged. My druggist sug- gested Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I took two bottles and am happy Hood's Sarsaparilla to say it made me a new man, and I never was better than now.“ Joux Mack, foreman Springer & Willard's stock farm, Oskaloosa, Iowa. „Every spring for years I have made it a practice to take from three to five bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, because I know it purifies the blood and thoroughly cleanses the system of all impurities. That languid feeling, sometimes called ‘spring Hood’s Sarsaparilla fever,’ will never visit the sys« tem that has been properly cared for by this never-failing remedy.’? W. H.

Since the publication of accounts of the strange suicide of an unknown man, who blew out his brains with a revolver at East Carondelet, last Monday, Chief of Police Walsh of East St. Louis has received numer- ous requests for the suicide’s description from persons who are looking for missing relatives or friends. Ohief of Police Black of Nash- ville, Tenn., thinks the suicide may have been a man who lately disappeared from that place and has written Chief Walsh for ai a L His letter has n the hands of Coroner Woods. Two st. Louis men who said they were looking for a missing friend, but would give no names, called on Chief Walsh and ob- tained a description of the body, which suf- ficed to satisfy them that they were not on the right track. Another St. Louis man called on Chiet Walsh for a description and was referred to Coroner Woods. The information he ob- tained from the Coroner convinced him that the suicide was not the man he was looking tor. The mystery of the strange case is as deep as ever, and the attempt of the deter- mined stranger to conceal his identity after death has up to the present time been a suc- cess, even though he failed to icinerate his body, as was evidently his intention.

Seldom has a newspaper rendered more conspicuous service to the cause of ans state that at a conference of the leaders of the lynch law organizg- Hon with reference to the return of De- tective O'MALLEY it was decided to allow the courts to try him. This news would bo more reassuring if some guarantee was given of O’Matiay’s safety in case he ‘was acquitted by the court, ; _— eee I considering the chances of war with Italy it would be well to bear in mffid that a big navy without the sinews of war to With plenty ot means to maintain and Bismarck and others — — maintaining the peace force required by its compact with Germany and Austria. Under the circumstances war between Italy and the United States is a possibility so remote as to make the serious discussion of it absurd. : — — — — PARTY INTEREST IN THE ELROTION. What do the Democrats of Bt. Louis owe asa party to Mayor Noonan, that they should put his selected tools in control of their City Council? The party has kept him in office ever since he has been a resi- ident of the city, and still it had to undo the work of his City Hall henchmen in the Eighth District last summer, and sit down on them heavily, before it could rescue that district from the Republicans, That incident showed how ready he was to use the party for his own selfish pur- poses without regard for the result to the party. Everybody knows that the party has done a great deal for him, but nobody can point out what he has done for the party. His relations with the Republican machine have aroused a suspicion that the Republican knifing which elected him two years ago was part of the arrangement which beat O' Null for Congress the year beforeand carried the whole city for the Republicans, If the Democrats help him topput in good working order the machine he is constructing now, it will worry them and hurt their party more than any Re- publican Council ever can. The fact is that centralized power, whether in party management or in poli- tics or municipal affairs,is the worst enemy of Democracy. Such Demoératic bossism gave the Republicans three Oongressmen and 10,000 majority in St. Louis in 1888, and will do it again unless the Democratic voters are wise epough to keep the Council bridle on the present Mayor. — . — — EUROPE ALARMED. All Burope attributes the assassination of the Bulgarian Minister to the Ozar’s emissaries, and accepts it as an indica- tion that the heavy concentration of Russian troops on the Austrian frontier ® is a preparation for plunging the Continent into another gigantic and bloody war. The Ozar is the spiritual and temporal ruler of one of the strongest branches of the great Christian family, and his mighty Government is regarded asthe great bul- wark of European civilization and en- lightenment against Asiatic ignorance and barbarism. Yet European intelligence does not hesitate to impute the assassin- ation of foreign ministers to this great Christian ruler as one of his weapons of State. And Europe, with all of its civili- gation and enlightenment, is to-day one vast camp of constantly increasing armies, quaking at every new sound and living in constant dread that the ambition of any one of half a dozen rulers may at any mo- ment involve all the civilized, enlightened and Christian people of the Continent in mutual slaughter. What a commentary upon Europe's civ- ilization and enlightment! What are civili- zation and enlightenment Worth to the _ | cause of good government when they cre- ate or at least tolerate such a situation as the normal condition of humanity? The contrast between the unarmed peace of such barbaric and heathen nations as Japan, China and Siam, an# the situa- tion brought about by Europe's boasted progress is not pleasant to the philosophic mind. It casts some doubt upon the poetic dictum: ‘‘Better fifty years of Burope than a cyole of Cathay. Tun suggestion that the women of this country owe something to ANNA Dic. SON by way of relief from the burden of her heavy misfortunes has borne fruit, Miss FRANCES WILLARD has issued an ap- peal for aid in her behalf to all women who speak in public.’’ Relief could not come from a more appropriate source than the women public speakers, because Miss DICKINSON may be counted as one of their pioneers. It will doubtless be a surprise to discover how many women are now fol- lowing her example and have gained dis- tinction in the pathway she opened with so much ability. Ir seems to be agreed among the repre- sentatives of the interests concerned in the new meat inspection law that this measure will have a most beneficial effect upon the export trade in theif products. It gives foreign countries absolute guarantee of the soundness Of our méat products and even the flimsy excuse which Germany Has urged for discrimination against American pork will be entirely swept away by the rigid in- spection required under the law. eee THE attempt of the Republican organs to discrédit the statements of Father Crarts and others who are criticising the conduct of the agents and officials of the Indian Bureau is natural. The present agent and officials have been appointed by the Re- publican Administration, and are part of the Républiean machine which has been carefully built up on the opportunities af- forded fog political manipulation by the spoils system. Ip Italy should send her big navy on a warlike expedition against American coast cities, the opportunity for France and Russia to pounce on the remainder of the Dreibund would be irresistible. The navy aforesaid is a powerfal one, but it can hardly be sparéd from home just now on such an errand as the bombardment of New York in revenge for the Mafia lynching in New Orleans. : — — — — SENATOR EDMUNDS may put ard the plea of II- , but hardly 1 age as an excuse for his retirement from _ the Senaté.

SCIENTISTS WILL ASK THAT ITS MAN- AGEMENT BE RADICALLY CHANGED. They Will Petition for Its Transfer From the Navy to a Practical Astronomical Board—The Western Union Time—The Washington University and Observa- tory Interested. The leading astronomers and seientists of the United States are now uniting their fortes tor a notable struggle, from which they confidently expect to emerge victorious. The next Congress will be memorialized to transfer the management and control of the United States Naval Observatory at Washington, an institution orig- inally known as the United States National Observatory, from the hands of the Navy Department to those of a purely astronomical and scientific Board, which shall theréafter constitute an Astronomical Department of tne govern- mental machinery. The strong hope of ulti- mate success in bringing about such a change is based upon the sticeess of the movement resulting in the Weather Bureau being trans- ferred from army control to that of a civiliah board under the Agricultural Department. The leading astronomers interested in the movement claim that there is now even more necessity for both a change in the United States Naval Observatory than there was in the case of the Weather Bureau, and they have gathered many strong arguments in support of their charges that astronomical and scientific interests are suffering through the management of the national obsérvatory by the navy. A PROTEST OF DISTINGUISHED SCIENTISTS. When the memorial to this effect is pré- sénted to Congress it will have the signa- tures of the most prominent astronomers, indorsement of all the universities of this coun- the distinguished names the memorial will be those of Edward O.

The cause of thé movement is a step re- cently taken by the United States Naval Ob- servatory which inflicts thé greatest ihjury upon the Various astronomical observatories of the United States, viz.: the practice estab- lished of supplying the Western Union Tele- graph Co. with time signals for commercial use. It is a movement in which st. Louis Is especially interested, as the Washington Uni- versity, with Prof. H. 8. Pritenett as dtrector of the astronomical Observatory, was the pioneer in the field Of the system about to do overthrown. in 1881, under Prof. Pritchett's direction, that gentleman having just come tothe Washington Univer- sity from the United States National Observ- atory at Washington, the signals necessary for the regulation of time - pieces first began to be Gerived, in different parts of the coun- try, from the observatories established in those districts. It Was a practical system which caused a revolution in the manner of securing correct astronomical time over the whole country, and it made St. Louis for years the center of interest for all interested in the system. One of the first and most striking workings Of the new system was that established between the Washington University ot St. Louis and the New Orleans Exposition, vy which the latter by means of electric connections causing the dropping of a ball above thé main Exposition Building in New Orleans at the hour of noon daily. Following the en- trance ofthe Washington University ih the field there was established a ‘‘circuit’’ of as- tronomical observations undér the hew sys- tem as follows: The Harvard Observatory at Cambridge, Mass.; Lick Observatory at Mount Hamilton, Cal. Cariton College Ob- servatory at Northfield, Minn.; Allegheny Observatory of Allegueny, Pa.; Washington University Observatory at St. Louis, aud the Winchester Observatory of . Yale College, New Haven, Conn. SUPPORTED THE OBSERVATIONS. The sums received from rahroads in pay- ment for signats furnished by this circuit formed an important portion of the revenues by which the observations were supported. Each one in the circuit put ih a complete and costly astronomical and eléctric plant, that of Washington University costing between $5,000 and $6,000, and of the Allegheny Ob- servatory Over $7,000. The Washington Uni- vesity derived an income from the time-sig- nal system of about $2,000 per annum, or enough to support the observatory, with no cost to the National Govern- Ment for the maintenance of tem 80 »benéficial to the various observat the fact that it brow interest in astro- g@reatiy enlarged thé a Me per 2 nh, ee os . we 2 I. 0 * \ = ey . eu 7 * * iad P 4 about seventeen years younger than his col- — . : 4? 4 38 ~ : n wv i A N . * “at ; P 1 — rs 1. 25 rey * — „ 7. * et „ ‘ ens. 7 a Oa pale «al 0 & 7 ~~ 7 a 4 cut} * renne Aree 5 the exact aStronomical time was furnished Washington University has already been notified by the Missoufi Pacific Railroad Co. that during the present month that cor - tion will discontinue its patronage of the University, and receive its time-signals from the Western Union company, All other rail- road systems will speedily follow, ahd the Washington University Observatory, which founded the time-signal system, will find its revenue entirely cut off through the action of the National Observatory. It is claimed by the university obsefvatories that the change will also make tuch service uncertain and inaccurate as compared with the present automatic service from private observatories. The Western Union Co., they argué, should simply be the distributor of the signals, and the scientific work should still be done by the observatories. There are five leading observatofies now dertving their entire support from the system about to be abolished. ATTACKS NAVAL SCIENTISTS. So strong is the feeling of antagonism roused in the minds of écfentists against the United States Naval Observatory by the change now being made that it is taking the form of direct and bitter attack on that institution. In the April number of Sidereal Messénger, just issued, Prof. Lewis Boss of the 6y Observatory of Albany, N. V., contribues the leading article, An Irrepressible Conflict, which 1s a strong assault upon the na val observatory system. Prof. Boss is one of the foremost astronomers of this country, and his views carry unusual weight in the scientifié world, He speaks in the article in question of the original antag- onism between the national“ and ‘‘naval’’ idea inthe management of the observatory and quotes an expression of the Secretary of the Navy in 1854, Hon. J. O. Dobbin, in which that official said: It (the observatory) 16 a navy aMair, and its reputation is the prop- erty ofthe navy. If it assume another name and character, the next step will be to place aciviliah at its head. In contrast to this Prof. Boss quotes the words of Join Quincy Adams, who said: ‘‘The express object of an observatory is the increase of knowledge by new discovery.’’ He then shows that what reputation the National, or Naval, Observa- tory has was gained for it by civilians likeCof- fin, Hubbard and Walker. From that point onward, Prof. Boss argues forcibly in favor of the transfer of the United States Naval Observatory from the Navy Department into purely scientific hands, and points out very clearly the great scientific benefits that would follow the placing of à practical astronomer at the head of sucha national observatory, supported by à capable scientific staff. concluding his articie, Prof. Boss says: It is a reflection upon the astronomers of this country 66 long as the present system endures, upon the country for lack in intelli- gence, Or upon astronomers for incompe- tence,Or in equal measure upon both. There is no escape from this conclusion. .PROF.P RITCHETT TALKS. Prof. H. 8. Pritchett was seen at the Wash- ingtoh University this morning in regard to the important movement. He indorsed the idea of placing the National Observatory under scie&tific control emphati , and said that Congress would certainly me- morialized to that effect. As to the injury inflicted upon the Washington University Observatory by the ‘‘combine’’ of the Na- tional Observatory and the Western Union Telegraph Co., Prof. Pritchett stated that practically it rendered the costly astro- nomical time signal plant of the local obser- vatory useless and destroyed the benefits of the faithful work Of ten years past. ST. LOUIS ORE & STEEL 00. It Will Pass Into the Hands of Its Cred- itors Under Foreclosure. New Tonk, April 4.—Herbert-B. Turner, counsel for the Farfihers’ Loan & Trust Co., said yesterday that the principal cause of the failure of the St. Louis Ore 4 Steel Co. to meet the interest on its bonds was the ex- haustion Of the Pilot Knob iron mines. They had been very valuable, and for a number of years they yielded immense quantities of fine ores, but the ore lias given out, and for more than a year past the company has been bor- ing around and trying to find more ore, but without success. Besides the Pilot Knob mines the company owns ex- tensive coal fields in Illinois, the Carbondale Railroad, a short line that is run in connection with the coal mines, and the Vulcan Iron-works in St. Louis. There Are in all three issues of bonds by the company, each a first mortgage on a part of the company’s property and a second mortgage on another part. The three issues are known as the first mortgage, the Olyphant and the Chouteau bonds, the last named of which are a first mortgage on the Vulcan Iron Works. Mr. Turner said that so far as the trustees can see there is no possible Salvation for the bondholders except totake the property of the company and do the best they can With it. The longer they wait the more will the company default in the payment of interest and the greater will be the loss of the bond holders. SECRETARY GARRISON SEEN. Mr. Olivér L. Garrison, Secretary of the St. Louis Ore & Steel Oo., was seen at the com- pany’s office this morning and shown the above telegram. In the absence of Receiver Hitchcock, Mr. Garrison was not inclined to discuss the details of the company's affairs, but stated that the facts given in the telegram Were substantially correct, and that preparations towards a foreclosure under thé mortgage were now in progress. The company’s plants were still In operation, and what éffect thé pro- ceedin of the Farmers Loan & Trust Co. would have upon them he was not prepared to state. It would be some little time before further developments could follow, and under the circumstances Secretary Garrison felt justified in remaining roeticent regarding the company’s troudies. CHAS. V. Vat CASE. It Was Set To-Da April 80—Ob jec- tions to Norimile. The Vall case was on the law docket of the Criminal Court to-day. Judge Normiié nad three times defeated th attorneys for the defense in their efforts to secure a hearing on their motion fof an immediate new trial, and he again today evinced a dis- position to resort to similar tactics.

In Session Bighty Days—How the Time Has Been Consumed—The Governor Signs 122 Bille—Railway Legislation in Texas and Nebraska—Work Done at Other State Capitals. latrie Rock, Ark., April 4.—The Twenty- eighth General Assembly adjourned at noon to- day, having been in session sighty days. During that time there 639 bills introduced in the two houses, 292 in the Senate and 3847 in the House. The Senate passed and sent to the House 173 bills, only 63 of which were favorably acted upon by the House. The House passed and sent to the senate 101 bills, 59 out of the number passing the Senate. The Governor has had no o¢casioh to exercise the veto power, and has therefore signed 122 bills, Which leaves 517 out of the 639 Intro- duced, resting quietly in pigéon holes or in the hands of committees.. At least one-half of the session was con- sumed in discussing the appropriation bill, the World's Fair and Little Rock Exposition Association appropriations, thé ex-Confed- erate pension bill, the state Treasury defal- cation, the separate coach bill, the Railroad Commission bill, the bills to abolish the geological survey, the bill to abolish mortgages on growing crops, the tion of waiving the right of appraise- ment of property sold under deeds of trust, the bill to abolish the Agricultural Bureau and the bill providing for a constitu- tional convention. Out of this number of im- portant measures upon which so much ora- tory was expended the only ones that passed were those pertainingto the settlement of the Treasury muddle, the separate coach bill and the pension bill. The two Houses passed a number of local bills, every attempt to call up a measure of general importance failing to receive a two third vote to suspend the rules. The customary resolutions of thanks to the officers of the two bodies and the reporters of the daily papers weré adopted. Speaker Rector was presented With a gold headed cane and Mr. Sellers of Ferry, a handsome gold watch and chain by their friends in the House. Afi effort Was made to pass in the House the bill requiring all coal oll sold in Arkansas tobe inspected in the State, butit was defeated by an overwheim- ing majority. NEW MISSOURI LAWS. JEFFERSON City, April 4.—Yesterday after - noon Gov. Francis signed several of the most important bills passed at the recent session of the Assembly. One of these is the Church savings bank bill, which aims to encourage thé establisument of such institutions.“ An- other is the act to punish pools, trusts and all conspiracies to. control prices. This Dill is aimed to meet thé objectionable features of the old anti-trust law. RAILWAY LEGISLATION IN TEXAS. Ausrix. Tex., April 4.— There were some lively speecbes in the House yesterday over a resolution to appoint Mr. Gerald to in- vestigate the International & Great Northern recelvership. The resolution failed of pass- age. The appropriation bill was considered at some length and a number of reductions made in the variousitems. A favorable re- port was made on a bill to give the city of Austin a new charter. NEBRASKA ASSEMBLY. LINCOLN, Neb., April 4.—Gov. Boyd has ve- toed the Newberry maximum freight bill. As soon as his message was read in the House the bill was put on its passage and ssed over the veto by a vote of 7% to 17. In the Senate it fell short of the réquisite number, however, only 18 voting in the affirmative and 18 in the negative. It needed 2, but the friends of the bill could not muster that number. The message gives many reasons tor the veto of the bill. One of the chiet ob- jections of thé Executive was that thé bill was too extreme in its provisions, and that it allowed to become a law would bankrupt the railroads and throw thousands of working- men out Of employment. COURTRY ROADS IN ILHINOIS. SPRINGFIELD, III., April 4.—Mr,. Paddock in- troduced a bill into the House yesterday to establish a Board of Highway Commissioners, thé members of which shall be three praé- tical engineers to be Appointed by the Gov- érnor at a salary of 58, O00 each, and Who are to have general supervision ot the public highways of the State. sioh is also made for the systematic improvement of the highways under the direction of the State board. The objest of the bill is to establish a system ot hard roads throughout the State. To Mr. Andersons bin 9 the pr@seht road and bridge law in coufities hot under township organization and fé-éhactifig the old Jaw, which was read the second time yes- terday, Mr. Warder offered amendment to strike out the section repealing the pres- ent law and providing for siibmission to the people of each county on petition of fifty voters, the quéstion of adopting the old law as re-enacted in the Anderson bill.

The sugar Trust claim to be not init.“ The Havemeyers decline to deny or confirm the report. MILLERS COMBINE. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April 4.—The success of the big English syndicate flour combina. tion which the ann statement shows, con- clusively has shown all the rest who refused to sell or enter the combination that uin union there is strength, and they have con. cluded to organize and protect themselves. When the Pillsburys heard that they were or a they made advances so that all could join in, but the rest refused, and now it looks as if the following only will be tn the combination: The Cataract, Columbia, Crown Roller, Northwestern, Zenith, Galaxy, Min- nea polis and ttit mills and the Washburn- Crosby Co., ot which will be under one management, thus making three big trusts, controlling the flour output of this point, the largest in the world. AN UNFOUNDED RUMOR. OCuicaGo, III., April 4.—Keferring to a dis. patch from Kansas City about a great cattle combination, Mr. Favorite of Armour & Co. said it was sensational when there was no sensational foundation, Several thousand head of cattle had been purchased by Ar- mour's agent, but no such quantity as stated in telegram. Such purchases Mr. Favorite said were common. The stock had been bought early In thé season, OWing to the ex- pectation ot a shortage during the summer months and not as a speculation.

Women, he continued, have no trepidation in saying ‘No’ to us fellows, and Iam glad to have the privilege of looking them in the eye and say- ing ‘No’tothem. Ido not propose to keep bachelor’s hall While my wife goes to the General Conference. [Laughter.] From what has been said here about women, you would suppose we proposed to open the gates toa lot of Bengal tigers. I propose to fight against the admission of women—not des- perately, but with determination, A bull dog is never desperate. You may not love him, but you respect him. [Laughter and ap- plause. | The conference, by a vote of 125 to 66, de- cided to have the ballot on admitting women taken by yeas and nays, with the privilege to the voters of explaining their votes in speeches of not more than ten minutes. DR. DARWOOD’'S ARGUMENT. Debate was opened by the Rev. Dr. W. Mc- Kendree Darwood of Yonkers in a paper with points from firstly to seventhiy, like a ser- mon, favoring the admission of women. Women should participate in the church councils, Dr. Darwood argued, because men and women are one in interest, in purpose, in conscience, in happiness and in their souls interests. The Bible shows how some Women were prophets, while others were prominent in church councils. Some argue that 8t. Paul was opposed to advancing women in the church, but that, in Dr. Darwood’s opinion, was considered as unwomanly in the Kast as t is now to appear before men and take part in public affairs. If women want to be or- dsined to preach, why should they not be? Dr. Darwood would hot shrink from the log- ical sequence of admitting women to the gen- eralconference. They have never consented to be deprived of their right of representa- tion, and they should have it. There were no arguments against it worthy of a schoolboy. In the name of a million women, Dr. Dar wood added, 1 ask you to remember that religion is not a matter of sex and to heip emancipate the weaker sex. , The Rev. W. R. Goss sald he would vote to admit women. Women have better heads than men—they make better teachers, preachers, and mothers than men. [Long laughter] Dr. Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate, intimated that a woman ought to stay at home and keep still——’’ Many voices: ‘‘That’s so;: and No, no.“ The Rev. Mr. Goss: 1 don't now what nd ot a wife he has got, but if he had my wife think she would give him a talking to. (laughter.) Women look further ahead than we do through their faith, and it will be forty years before we catch up with them. Women are like electricity, that recently discovered force. They are just coming to be under. stood, and they are a power Cannot put down. They behave as well as ministers, Gon’tthey? [Laughter.] They ate the ma. jority ofthe church now. Ido not know what we would do without them. OPPOSE THB MOVEMENT. The Rev. George E. Strowbridge opposed the admission of women. The vote was about 16 per cent of the whole number and of that u per cent the bre were mon. [Ortes of Tres and NO. Dr. Strowbridge: »An the women I know Oppose the movement.

NINE HUNDRED HOMES TO BE RAZED FOR RAILWAY TERMINALS. People Driven From old Residence and Manufacturing tions to Be Provided For Elseewhere—Cartan & Co.’s $60,000 List of Sales—Other Transactions. There was not quite as much doing in real estate circles to-day as on Friday, but the in- quiry was reasonably good. The Vandalia Ratiroad Oo., a part of the Pennsylvania Cen- tral system, which has already bought vast amounts of North St. Louls property for ter- minal purposes, ié still ih the market trying to buy. This corporation is now trying to get possession of the whole of city block No. 688, between Main and Second, Dickson and Cass avenue, This is not far from the site for thé proposed Merchants’ Depot, where the Round-Top Market house now stands. Offers of $1604 foot have been made for the ground, but it appears that the owners are hot disposed to accept that price, preferring rather to take theirchances in con: demnation proceedings. Speaking of the great amount of prop- erty which for rallway terminals the informed past few months, a agent who has given this important matter a good deal of his personal attention says that 900 houses have been bought along the rights of way. Many of the houses have already been torn down along the route of the Mer- chants’ Terminal, the O., B. & C. and the Vandalia lines, and those that have not been cleared away will shortly bé razed to make room for depots and tracks from the Merchants’ Bridge south along the river east of Broadway. and into the Mill Oreek Valley, where the Terminal Railway Assocta- tion is now preparing to buld the new Union Depot. Beyond, that t, extending west through the valley tothe city limits,a great deal more property has been bought lately for railroad and warehouse purposes and on many of the sites there are homes that will have to be torn away. People who now have been or will be compelled to vacate these premises must be provided with premises elsewhere, and the manufacturing sites also that have been bought out by the rullroads must secure lorations eisewhere. New sites fora few of these industries have already been secured, but most of them are now seeking locations. This enforced change of base, together with the ex sion of the industrial interests of the city, is what has created such a strong demand for mantifacturitig property, and the building of 900 new homes for families who have been called upon to vacate their old premises will be no small item in general im- provements of the city. FOR WAREHOUSE PURPOSRS. Adeed from W. ©. Taylor to the Lewis Sharpe Commission Co., to 800 feet of ground on the east side of Theresa avenue between Papin street and Chouteau avenue has been med for ; $24,000 being the considera - tion.

+ — * Appointing Two Men to Cut Wires at Fires and Not Executing Legitimate Orders What the Officials Say—A Street Com- plication. The General Manager of the Municipal Elec- tric Light Co. wrote to Mayor Noonan yéster- day about cutting wires at fires, and about the instructions he had given his inspectors in regard to reporting cross-wires breaks and other things of the kind. While these communications were being passed back and forth between the Mayor and Mr. Ayer the Supervisor of City Lighting and the members of the Board Committee were busily engaged in trying to devise means to make the lighting company live up to its contracts. While a big lot of talk is be- ing raised about cutting wires and other mat- ters of minor importance the failure of the company to live up to its contracts is being covered up by the dust so raised. Inspector of Oity Lighting A. J. O'Reilly was asked this morning: ‘‘Why does not the company ex- plain why it don’t put up the lights ordered and why does it not explain why the lights which are up are not kept in order?’’ Mr. O'Reilly smiled a sort of tired smile and said: “I don’t know. It has been impossible for us to get any satisfaction on that point and we do not know now why the company don’t carry out its contracts. Some time ago City Counsellor Bell was asked if the city could fine the company for failing to put up lights when wanted and he decided that the city could not. In regard to the other side of the question, that of cutting wires, Chief Lindsay of the Fire Department said this morning: ‘‘I want tosay about that inspector matter of the lighting company, Mr. Ayer says he will have his men at res on all second alarms. If he does not have his men at the down town fires on the first alarm, he need not send them at all. In the district from Franklin avenue to Clark avenue and east of Eleventh street be should have his men there on first alarm. Oommissioner Holman of the Board Com- mittee on Lighting said: ‘‘I don’t know just what we can do now as we have no way to make those people do what we want and we don’t want to let our contracts go,as we cannot get any as good again. The entire subject is being carefully gone overand the committee hopes to arrange matters in some way. Appropriations for Street Improvements. The Board of Public Improvements has approved the Street Department es. timates of appropriations required for what goes under the head of new work for the next year. This includes all new bridges and Culverts, street pavements and streets. The estimate as submitted this morning is as follows: Wedges ont os culverts— -first Street Bridge—completion...... $ 40,000 well Street 1 enn 000 eee 80.000 esse bes sees eee eee 8175. 000 Vasen Improvoementsss . 8100. 000 ä aster * * ee | assess- 7.000 21 $342,000 Commissioner Murphy said, I donot know how the Oomptrolier stands on all of those estimates, but he will let us have the bridge money and especially that for the Twelfth street bridge. The Comptroller and every- body else isin favor of putting up the new bridge there. We have our plans and est!- mates all made, all we need now is the money and the formal ordinance.’’ The total estimates of the Twelfth street bringe bring the figures up to $180,000 and the intention is to putin a bridge which will be worth the money and equal tothe demands made upon it. Strange Oversight. Assistant City Counsellor Broadhead not!- fied the Board of Pubic Improvements this morning of an oversight ofa thing which might have cost the city some money, and a good deal of trouble had not the mistake been discovered in time. Asitis the situa- tion is a little annoying, but not as serious as it is ludicrous. Three years ago Clemens av- enue from Clara to Belt avenue was opened by due process of law, the commissions ap- ted, damages and benefits all assessed and settied in the courts in due form. A few months ago another lot of propertyholders along the same line came in with a dedication and dedicated a sixty-foot strip to be known as Clemens ave- nue, from Belt to Clara. The board accepted the dedication, and that street was estab- lished in due legal form. Now the discovery fe made that there are two sixty foot Clemens avenues from Clara to Belt, just nine feet apart. It now remains for the board to de- cide which of the two to take. Street and Alley Improvements. Street Commissioner Murphy has an- nounced that on the 24th of this month the Board of Public Improvements will hold a public hearing on the subject of street and alley improvements to give the property owners an opportunity to either support or oppose the measures. The followingare the principal streets under consideration: For reconstructing with granite Laclede avenue from J n avenue to the center line produced northwardly of alley running north and south be- tween city bloeks Nos. 1720 and 1721. ng with granite Manchester + — from tne center line 1 of alley runnin between city blocks Nos. 1720 sout and 1721, to Compton avenue.

The failure of the Assembly to pass the new bill leaves the subway in the position of being allowed to put electric wires alone in whatever structure, either conduit or tunnel, they may place under the streets of the city. The provisions of the new ordi- mance were very comprehensive and would permit gas and oll pipes, telephone, tele- graph and electric wires and refrigerating pipes to be placed tn the tunnel. It is under- stood that amended plans will be submitted to the board in a few days.

The war that has been waging between the manufacturers of plate and window glass for the past year has reached its end, and itis predicted by a leading st. Louis dealer that per cent, exclusive, of rebates, to dealers within the next few days. This fight has been a bitter one, and many manufactories have closed down either temporarily or per- manently within the time for no other reason than that the making ot glass has grown to be unprofitable at the present rate. The dealer referred to has already received pri- vate advices of the coming advance, and which he asserts are positively reliable. The end of the cut price war will mark an im- portant epoch in the glass production in- dustry of the country, which, to the present time, has never been as profitable as it should have been. Upon the discovering of natural gas the great glass factories flocked to Pittsburg and vicinity and their close proximity to each other naturally brought about ruinous com- petition, finally developing into open and declared war. window and plate glass reached the lowest mark since the enactment of the high tariff for rebelifon fund purposes. During the win- ter just past the price has continued to go down until such a low price has been reached that dealers all over the country have over- stocked for noother purpose than that they regarded glass at the quoted price a fine in- vestment. TRUST ORGANIZATION WILL FOLLOW. After losing money steadily for quite a period the manufacturers have evidently de- termined to combine, and all the leading fac- toriesin the United States will raise their price simultaneously. It isnot atall likely that such an action would be taken unless there was an explicit understanding between the manufacturers. The advices also say that one reason for the raise is the increase in the price of natural gas andthe absolute neces- sity of going back to coal, which was origin- ally used. The new price lists are now in the hands of the printer, and are expected to ar- rive every day, when the stocks at present on hand will be immediately raised, according to the increase in the wholesale price. Therefore, it is absolutely certain that people who build during this season will pay more for their glass than for many previous years. The product on hand, the manufac- turers claim, is very small owing tothe im- mense orders that have been received from dealers during the winter and early spring. Yesterday a prominent St. Louis dealer tele- graphed alarge order toa Pittsburg house, receiving an answer which stated that the order would be filled ata price which was considerable of an advance over prevailing figures. DEMAND GREATER THAN THE SUPPLY. According to St. Louis dealers, the demand for window and plate glass throughout the country has increased very fast the past five years. Mammoth glass fronts in the build- ings in the city have grownto be the rule rather than the exception. Instead of as few windows as possible, every imaginable space istaken up by windows made as large as possible. This has made the demand, more especially for plate-glass, so great that the manufacturers have beenable to do little more than keep the immediate demand sup- plied, not being able to carry overa stock of any proportions at the practical closing of the building seasons at the opening of win- ter. This has shown the interested manu- facturers that they can practically control the market at certain portions of the year when the demand is greatest, and this they propose to do. Where they have been losing money they will now reap a harvest, the helpless consumer of to-day making good the losses at the old rates. This is an important matter to St. Louis, being summed up by Mr. Francis A. Drew in this way: The present season promises to be far the most prosperous the building interests of St. Louis have ever known, and the consump- tion of plate and window glass will be much greater than ever defore. The majorſ ot the great buildings to be erected will have special attention paid to theirtight- ing facilities. This means more glass, and with the manufacturers at present refusing to fill dealers’ orders, the natural conse- quenge is that the price of glass will go up pro ly to a greater extent than is even im- agined at the present time. There is no doubt but that the manufacturers can con- trol the market absolutely if they choose to do so. It appears that they have had sufficient of the cut-throat policy, and all are anxious for peace—peace that will allow of the pay- ment of dividends. The fight has been a bit- ter one since the successful use of natural gas in the manufacture of glass was first demon- strated, but from all appearances it has all been settled in view of the fact that coal must again be used asfuel. Itis my opinion that glass will increase in price inthe next few days at least 20 per cent, and probably as much as 80 per cent.

He Had Been Accused of Alienating An other Man's Sweetheart’s Affections. Coulter Harrison, a negro barber, 381 years of age, attempted to commit suicide this morning about 9 o’clock at a barber-shop near Leonard and Easton avenues, by cut- ting his throat from ear to ear laying bear the windpipe. Coulter was con- veyed to the Oity Dispensary where Drs. Priest and Jacobson dressed the wound and sent him to the City Hospital. Both physicians pronounced the case serious and stated that Harrison will hardly recover. At the Dispensary the negro stated in expla- nation of his act that some time ago a fellow barber accused him falsely of writing to his sweetheart and, as he was in his employ, followed it up by discharging him. Since then he bas been out of employment, and despondency was the result. This morn- ing after hunting in vain for work he determined to end his existence and withan instrument which he has made his living with, slashed his throat frightfully. He stated that the girl who caused the trouble was a Miss Steele, but re- fused to make known her residence or the name of the man who accused him of trying to divide Miss Steele’s affections. The City Hospital physicians stated later that Harri- — was resting easily. His residence is not own. | Alarming Mortality Rate at Oshkosh, Wis. —At Other Points.
