Ottizens of the Republic Losing Faith in Carnot and His Advisers— A Belief That They Are Shielding the Swindlers ~—Ribot Will Try to Form a New Cab- inet-—Charles de Lesseps Placed on Trial. Paris, Jan..10.—France is making history with a speed surpassed only inthe days of the revolution. Again is the Government without a ministry. The members of the Ribot Cabinet have tendered their resignations and Premier Ribot has again essayed the task of forming a new Ministry. The coun- try is to-day verging upon a reign of chaos. When the news of the resignation of the Cabluet was made public, it caused great excitement. People thronged the streets asking each other what the next act in the great drama of the Panama scandal would be. Police were kept busy dispersing the crowds that gathered. The gravity of the situation is shown in the sentiment which seems to have taken hold of Paris to-day that the President and M. Ribot are not in earnest in the Panama prosecu- tiens and that they have no intention of bringing the bribe-takers to trlal, and that the prosecution of De Lesseps, Fontaine, Cottu and Eiffel will be nothing more thana farce. Itis also charged that efforts are being madeto postpone the exposure of certain guilty parties until the law of proscription will have taken effect. , It is known that the resignation. of the Ministry was caused by the divergence of views on Bathut’s case. Bourgeois threatened to leave the Cabinet at the con- ference atthe Elyseeif the ex-Minister was placed in prison. BAIHUT’S CRIME. M. Baihut is accused of having received 500, 000 francs for falsifying the report of En- gineer Rousseau, who was sent to Panama in 1886. This report concluded that the termination ofthe canal was impossible; M. Baihut, then Minister of Public Works, changed the sense of the report and M. Rousseau did not dare to protest against the action of his chief. M. Baihut is said to have attempted to cor - rupt a number of Senators, Deputies and ad- ministrative employes—and, in fact, played in 1886 same role as did Baron de Reinach m mengaud, the Municipal Councillor, whose wife he had run away with. Armengaud had known all the facts for a long time, but only waited a favorable moment to avenge him- self by denouncing the ex- Minister. After his examination before the Magis- trate yesterday, Baihut was last evening committed to the Mazas prison. Ata Cabinet council, held in the Elysee to- dar, Premier Ribot announced to President Carnot that he and his colleagues recognized thatit was necessary to reform the Cabinet. The Ministers thereupon collectively pre- sented their resignations to President Carnot, and the President charged M. Ribot with the duty of reconstructing the Ministry. Itis understood that M. Ribot will retain the office of Premier, but will exchange the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the Ministry ofthe Interior. It is also reported that M. Joubet, Minister ofthe Interior, and Mu. De Freycinet, Minister of War, will probably not be found in the reconstructed Cabinet. THE HOPE OF FRANCE. In the midst of this crumDling of Ministers ominous threats of Anarchists and plotting ot the friends of exiled pretenders, Paris turns, as it always does in times of national peril, tothe man at the head of the army— Gen. Saussier. A few newspapers openly declare that Paris fs in a state of siege, because of the precau- tions Gen. Saussier has taken to quell any uprising of Anarchists, and the preparations made in frontier towns to prevent the entry of Royalist or Imperialist pretenders into France wittout the Government being at once apprised of the fact. Saussier is not a politician, but a soldier with an enviable record. Although he has _ gerved as a Deputy in the Chambers one term of three years, he held on to his commission in the army. On the occasion of the presi- dential election in 1887 he was appointed to the military command of Paris. The mobof the city had threatened to make trouble if M. Ferry were elected President. Gen. Saussier took the precaution of taking upthe pave- ment in different quarters of Paris so that if an outbreak should occur barricades could be rapidly erected for te protection of the soldiers. In this election Gen. Saussier himself was an unofficial candidate for the post of Presi- dent. He received very few votes, but would probably have received a great many more if it had not been for the fact that his mod. erate republicanism was regarded by many as a sign that he was strongly in favor of the Monarchical party. TO ILL TO BE PRESENT. A medical certificate was submitted to ‘6 5 President Perevier to the effect that M. Fer- amand de Lesseps was not in a condition to be present. ; The President began the examination of Charles de Lesseps. In reply to the Pres!- dent's questions, Charles de Lesseps saia . that it was against his advice that his father had undertaken the construction of the Panama Canal. Tue President reproached Charles de Les- seps for having misled the public by an- nouncing that Hersent and Oouvreux had undertaken the construction of the canal for 612,000,000 francs. To this Charles de Lessers replied that the arrangement with Hersent and Couvreux vas not exactly a contract of that kind. It was rather sought to arrange a price per metre than to fix the total of cubic meters do de excavated. TRIAL OF THE SWINDLERS. M. Ferdinand De Lesseps, although absent on account of the state of his health, was in- cluded to-day as one of the defendants, with harles de Lesseps, Fontaine, Cottu and iffel, accused of complicity inthe Panama Canal frauds. The trial was opened in the first chamber of the Court of Cassation, as the Court of Appeals is called, M. Perivier presiding.

He Wants Local Street Railroads to Agrees on Terms of Consolidation. James Campbell, the broker, who is well - known for his deftness in the manipulation of street railway stocks, and who has re- cently combined his interests in the Bellefontaine Electric Rallway (with John Scullin of the Union Depot and Mound City lines was asked to-day what he hadto sayto Charles Green’s statement that he had been East to confer with capital - ists for a consolidation of all the St. Louis street railways. Mr. Campbell was toasting his toes at the nickle-plated rall ot a red- hot base-burner, in his private office, No. 307 Pine street. Mr. Campbell turned quietly in his chair and answered diplomatically: I did not read Mr. Green’s statement. „It was to the effect that you were the mover in a scheme to have Lee, Higginson & Co. of Boston, President-elect Cleveland, Wm. E. Whitney and Dan Lamont of New York, buy up all the St. Louls street railways.’’ CANNOT GET EASTERN CAPITAL. % did not see any ofthe parties named in any recent trip East, and 1 did nothing to accomplish a consoll- dation of th St. Louis lines with Eastern capital. But this scheme for a con- solidation of all the local street railroads Is not of recent origin with me, for I have been at work on it for eight or ten years. Every time Iwent East I laid the project before New York and Boston capitalists. I found, however, that before the change from horse to cable and electric traction, the street rall- roads were not capitalists as the present take so much money to absorb all the im- roved street railways of St. Louis, about ,000,000, that the Eastern people believe that this amount could be _ invested more advantageously elsewhere. They claim that the fat has been fried out of these properties he owners, by the in- and of the bonded in- e ts. and hence an immense sum to buy p solidation of all the roads is made it must be accomplished by a mutual agreement of the ditferent owners. of roads, independent or Eastern capital.’’ THE ROADS SHOULD COMBINE. See can this combination be brought Well, the nucleus for such a condition is found in the move of the Scullin lines and of the Bellefountaine line. It remains for another of the lines outside of this combina- tion to agree with Mr. Scul- lin upon what would be a fain bases for these three companies and the company asking for aamission to come in. Thus ali the roads would soon be absorbed and put under one head. With this end in view I organized the St. Louis Traction Co. The object of the consolidation of the Bellefontaine and Scullin lines was to make astart in the direction of the union of all the lines in the city, and in order to accom plish that fully I or- ganized the St. Louis, Traction Co. with a nominal capital of $2,000, so that this capital could be increased from time to time as each of the other roads outside of the combination sought for admission into the traction company. There was no intention on the part of the traction company to compel anybody to en- — it or to force any road to ask for admis - on, RELIGIOUS NEWS. NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—The final meeting of the Presbytery of New. York,. sitting as a court on the trial of the charges against the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Briggs, met yesterday to receive the reports ofthe special committee having in charge the consideration of the vote taken atthe last meeting of the judi- ciary. Moderator Bliss read the report to the committee, which, he said,had been adopted by the court by a majority report. The report of this committee is as follows: . . ‘*Giving due consideration to the defend - ant’s explanations of the language used in his inaugural address, accepting his frank and full disclaimer of the interpretation which has been put upon some of the phrases and illustrations, and his af- firmations of loyalty to the standards of the church and to the Holy Scrip- tures asthe only infallible rule of taith and practice, the tery do not find that he has transgressed the limits of liberty allowed under the constitution to scholarship and opinion, Therefore, without expressing ap- proval of the critical or theological views embodied in the inaugural address, or the manner in which they have beeu illustrated, the Presbytery pronounces the Rev. Charlies A. Briggs, D. D., fully acquitted of the of. fenses alleged against him, the several charges and specifications accepted for pro- been not sustained. Discussion followed as to whether or not the vote on the report should not have been by yeasand nays. Col. McCook entered a formal exception to the action of the Presby- tery on that.accoant, and also another ex- ception to the introduction of the steno graphic report as a part of the minutes of the trial. He said he should appeal the case to the General Assembly. REVISING THE FAITH. CHICAGO, III., Jan. 10.—At a meeting ot the Chicago Presbytery to consider the revision of faith, the following was adopted: The Presbytery of Chicago hereby overtures the General Assembly, requesting that body to appoint a committee to report to a fature as- sembly proposing such alterations and dmentsto our doctrinal standards as amen would in their judgment be conformed to the teachings of Holy Scripture,as now inter- preted by our church, In such abbreviated torm as to fit the Confegsion and Catechism most fully for ecc uses and for the instruction of our people.

To the Editor of the Post - Disvatch: I see by the morning paper that one of the ministerial associations has selected the Kev Frank Lenig of the Cook Avenue Church to answer my sermon of last Sunday morning. I am very much pleased to have the information. May Lask your paper to take especial pains that Mr. Lenig’s report be publishedin full. We who are in favor of opening the World's Fair on Sunday are particularly anxious that the subject shall be discussed in all its bearings and seen in all possible lights. If it can be shown that either the revealed laws of God or the sanc- tions of natural morality are dis- obeyed and-disregarded in opening the Ex- position on Sunday, I for one will giadly re- tract all I have said in favor of such a plan. Can you not induce many of the evangelical clergy to preach on this subject next Sunday morning or.eventng, and have their sermons published, You will pardon my presumption, I know, when I say that you cannot do a_ better work in St. Louis than freely glve your columns to this vital subject. I do not havethe honor of Mr. Lenig’s per- sonal acquaintance, and imagine that he has not been long a resident of St. Louis. And while 1 deprecate as much as any man the too prevalent habit of measur- ingtruth by the standard of conspicuous names, yetI realize the need of taking men where you find them, and I cannot but feel that the review of my poor sermon would possibly command more attention and secure a wider readings if the work was done, not by an abler, but dy an older and more widely known representative of the Evangelical pulpit. IKnow from per- sonal experience of the multiplicity of cares that beset a minister who has been a num- ber of years in a great city, but I should feel it a personal honor if my honored friends, Dr. Brookes, or Dr. Niccolls, or Dr, asden, or Dr. Rhodes, or Dr. Ford, or Dr. George, or Dr. Martin, or Dr. Matthews, or Dr. Stimson, could be induced to give this subject the public consideration which its importance commanis. Let me urge in conclusionthat every man in St. Louls who favors the Sunday opening Shall write a personal letter to some Missouri Congressman, Let no business man imagine that he is too unimportant to wield any influence. He helps to make the influence cumtlative,. When such representative men as Messrs. Geo. Leighton, Henry Hitchcock, Ex.-Goy. Stanard, Judge Bakewell, F. M. Judson, Richard Ennis and Jacob Furth are willing to publicly express their sympathy, on religious grounds, with a movement that has for its object the opening of the Exposition on Sunday, and when hundreds of the gentlemen, equally representative, who have been, for years, the loyal supporters of orthodox churches giadly sign a petition to the same effect, itis well that Congresss should be informed of these facts, and I would favor the sending of a great petition to Washington signed by every man and woman in Missouri who protests against the action which closes the Fair on the people's only day of leisure, JOHN SNYDER, Fast or onurch of the Messiah, to Your wife‘won’t object to your coming home late provided you bring home a bottle of Levy Bros.’ good liquor.

Duis, and of an importance scarcely to be ted ig that now on foot for the g of the Territory. Lying ithwest of and immediately adjoining the Ate is this great and rich country which is we most useless from an industrial point , view. The size of the territory is not my appreciated. Even without Oklahama oo 81, % square miles, Scarcely of this is unavailable for Itt purposes. The climate is milder ian that of Kansas, the soll is richer and it far better watered. The mineral wealth ‘pow to exist is very great, some of the t lead and zinc deposits of the country found in the northeastern part of the iritory. The undiscovered mineral de- sits are believed to be even more valuable. t only can corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley 1 tall es ot the matter, and n many cases has not acted upon the agree - ments entered into by the commissioners sent out, The tribes are willin reservations occupied by the Kiowas, Co- manchesand Apaches, aggregating 8,800,000 acres, that of the tas, Caddoes and affiliated tribes, and the Cherokee lands, an addition tothe land tobe opened to settle- ment of about 10,000,000 acres, At present this is practically valueless, the Indians bein forbidden to rent the pasturage. Wit the agreements once ratified, it would be filled with an industrious population and on account of its natural advantages would soon become one of the richest sec- tions of the Southwest. The price to be paid for this land is $1.25 an acre, but the appro- priation that would be required to meet the paymentis nominal, not real, for the Gov- ernment has fixed the price to actual settlers t$2.60anacre. Thus it will be seen that the nited States would make an excellent bar- gain. ADVANTAGES TO sr. LOUIS.

For years there has been a grow g among the more advanced tribesmen at this should cease, and that the surplus 10s should be disposed of. A strong party, asisting generally of the less intelligent ment, has opposed this, fearing the ad- it of the whites. But this party, it is be- rea, has lost much of its strength. FEELING AMONG THE INDIANS. hief Perryman of the Creeks is ot the most influential leaders che progressive element. He states that Indians who have given the matter ‘fous thought are nearly all in favor of viding the land, each adult being given handsome share in severalty, and remainder sold ‘ ament. AS nt the Indians areas arule very poor, ir rich heritage being practically value- to them. What they want is schools and ‘tact with modern civilization.

The growth of Chicago has been principally due to the great develop- ment ofits back country. The Indian Terri- tory naturally belongs to the commercial system of St. Louis. The rapid growth of Kansas was of enormous commercial benefit to this city, but its trade had to be shared with other cities. Witha proper system of railroads nearly allthe rasources of the In- dian ‘Territory would be poured into St. Louls, which, from its position, might defy rivalry. At present railroads cross the Ter- ritory asthey would cross a desert. With white settlers on the lands the freight from this part of the country would one of the most lucrative sources of income to the lines involved. As soon as contracts are closed for the opening, the railroads stand ready tocommencé the construction of new lines at once. ¢ A SPLENDID FUTURE. But important as the cession of the lands now in negotiation is to Sti Louis, it is insig- nificant as compared with the benefits to be derived from the settlement of the country not yet nogotiated for. The five civjlizea tribes hold by far the richest lands, and this country located in the eastern portion of the Ter- ritory, is that which would de ot most value to this city. It is richer in agricultural and mineral potentialities than any part of Kansas. It lies so near St. Louls that no other city could successfully bid for its trade. It is so well watered that the droughts that sometimes destroy erops in the Western States are not to be feared. Muc of the land is admirably adapted to the growth of cotton and tobacco; zinc, lead and coal are known to exist, and the ex- isting railroad lines are so located that all parts could be reached by the laying of a comparativeiy few miles of new track. Al- ready many of the Indians are clamoring for the opening of this vast and rich country. If once a disposition is manifested by Congress to purchase the surplus lands all ormidable opposition from the tribes will cease. A glance at the map will show how important such a consummation would be to this city. With the prong sat Reed one of the most valuabie sections of its tributary country, which has heretofore been practically hermetically sealed, a new era of prosperity would dawn for St. Louls. * * CAs > | BIG DROP IN GATE RECEIPTS SIA 1890. L Something to Make Base Ball Magnates Feel Good—Corbett at Last Says Some- thing Definite—John Ward Mentioned for President of the New York Club— Sporting News of All Sorts. NEW York, Jan. 10.—Is popular interest in racing declining in the East? At the conclu- sion ofthe fall meeting at the Brooklyn track there were many predictions that racing had seen its best days in this part of the country, and that the star of empire in this great sport was taking its course westward. Under the Ives billthe racing associations have to make sworn statements of the amount of their gate receipts, and upon these receipts a tax of 5 per cent is levied. While the amount of this tax does not ac- curately indicate the number of people who see the races, so many free passes and badges being given away by the different associa- tions of horsemen, bookmakers, stockhold- ers and other persons, a comparison of the sums paid in during the past five years will give a very good general idea of the present condition of affairs. The following is the amount of taxes which each club has paid during the past six years: Aol SV SUA SQNIO 1USeIEZID ey} 44 pealeoe eum es JO JuNOUIY eu 0028 New Tork Jockey Club. ‘Of’ A'N It will be seen from these reports that there was a falling off during the past sea- son, the Brooklyn track suffering most. The drop in receipts at this track, as compared with the previous year, was $59,292. From the returns itappéars that 1890 was the banner turf year. In that year the high- water mark was reached in all the clubs ex- cept Brooklyn, which made its record the following year, when the memorable fight upon the pool-rooms was made. This fight, by the way, increased the re- ceipts at the Brooklyn track over $20,000, which would mean nearly $100,000a year to the four race-tracks in attendance alone, if the pool-rooms were closed. The increase of the book-makers in the price of privileges in programmes, Paris mutuals and other inei- dentals would run this sum up toover a quarter of a million. Ten additional book- makers would be worth over $100,000, and with pool-rooms closed there would be nearer twenty than ten. That 1890 was such a prosperous year for the tracks was due in a great measure to the grand contests ofthat year. It was the year when the mighty Salvator wasin his prime, the year of the great but unfortunate Tenny. It was the year of the fastest Suburban ever run, of the great Tenny-Salvator match race, of a new mile record, of new records at Mor- ris Park. Everything went with a rush and a snap that year. One of the principal reasons for public apathy last year was the mediocre class of horses. There were no Salvators. The aged division was 8 weak. The stake-win- ning 2-year-olds, with four exceptions, would have been selling-platers if they had ap- peared the previous year, and the brilliant array of 3-year-olds dwindled down to Tam- many and Lamplighter, and in 1891 Tammany and 121 — were all of ten pounds be- hind the leaders. His Highness, Victory and St. Florian all went wrong, and in the land of the blind the one-eyed bécame Kings. The pool-rooms of course affected the at- tendance, but, as Morris Park and Brighton show, the effect was not so marked as was generally believed. Certainly the l- rooms could not have been solely responsible for a decrease of $59,000 at Brooklyn when Morris Park only lost $9,000. The explanation must be soughz somewhere else.

In some of the most outlying parts of the world the ubiquitous Briton’’ insists dn having a few days’ racing in the year, even ifit be only between cow-ponies or mules. The first regular meeting under the ruies of the South African Jockey Club was held at Salisbury, Mashonaland, last fall. It com- prised two days’ very fair sport indeed, and the class of nags that ran was surprisingly good. This was not, however, accom. ow pe without difficulties, as be udged from the fact that two animals bad to be brought over 1,000 miles, by road, during the last 800 of which there was no stable; accommodation, and the horses had to pass the nights tied to the wagonin the pen. Nevertheless, One of them, Mintmark, won the Mashonaland Handicap, value £250; 160, and two minor races, Theother was a pony, Honest, who won both the events in his class. The man- agement cleard £600 on the meeting, and im- mediately determined to celebrate their suc- cess by giving another one at Christmas. KEENE AND LAKELAND STABLE, One of the stables richest in promise for the coming season will be that under the direc- tion of William Lakeland. In addition to his own useful string he willtrain and manage the stable of James R. Keene, who returns to the turf with his old-time enthusiasm. The horses are wintering exceedingly well and should piay an important part in next year’s contests. Lakeland is not merely a trainer, but a judicious placer of his horses. The following will be Keene’s mainstays and their ages when they will face the flag: Sleipner, 6, by Mortimer, dam Breeze, Bay colt, 3, by Falsetto, dam Annie C.

Several Western millionaire turfmen have a scheme on foot to establish winter racing on a colossal scale. It is their present pur- pose to establish a race track on the Pacific Coast where horses of the highest class may run for rich stakes during the months of No- vember, December, January and February. The men interested or po interested in this turf venture include J. B. Haggin of the famous Rancho del Paso stud; E. J. Baldwin, owner of the Santa Anita stud; W. O’Brien McDonough, who recently paid $150,000 for the stallion Ormonde. L. J. Rose of Fairy fame; L. U. Shippee, a noted Caifornia millionaire = L. Alby, well known in Western tur circles. AT EAST ST. LOUIS. Miss Kitty was backed down from even money tos tos, to win the handicap at the course across the river yesterday, but the best she could do was to finish second,a head behind Irene H, who closed at 5 tol. Three Javorites and an outsider at 12 to 1 were successful in the remaining races. Vedana opened first choice at even money and ciosed at 6to5 for the inaugural scramble. The favorite won easily by two lengths from Fred Knox, who finished a head before Clarion. The next event had the ap- pearance of adecidedly open affair. Mont- clair, Balance All and Abe Halstead were first choices from the Start at about 4to 1. Abe Halstead won, whipping, by one length, from Miss Kyan, who was the same distance ahead of Baiance All.

Jockey Madison rides this season for the Primrose Stable of Chicago. James Davis of Chicago has arrived at New Orleans with the famous Blue Banner. Jockey ‘*Tiny’’ Williams is expected at New Or- leans this week. He will ride forthe Avondale Stable the coming suntmer. After demanding an investigation and making an ineffectual effort to be reinstated, the Jordans, Dell and Frank, have sold Miss Gilkey and left New Orleans for their home in Kansas. Charles McCafferty has bought the bay colt Bel- fast. by imp. Rossington, dam Kantata, for $1,000; also the bay colt Frank Ellis, by Ben Ali, dam Trinket, $500. The seller was John E.

The Australian came to the hotel with Billy Madden, his manager and advertising agent, and Billy Mayo, his trainer. Madden gave Joe a roll of bills and prompted him on whattosay. When Corbett made his appearance Joe started for him, and when they met he blurted out: Jim, I want you to fight me. „Great scott!’’ exclaimed the champion, as he eyed his 8 irom head to foot, with an amused look that brought a round of laughter from the crowd, **l am better entitled to fight 5 than any other man, said Goddard, and he went on to talk about exploits and forfeits. „lou haven't whipped Slavin yet.“ ro- torted Corbett. 1 tell you what y Go whip Jackson and then I'll fight fun, just for the gate receipts, and I’ll find you dead easy, but until you whip a ee ge and getin the championship class I will not waste time with you, and Jim turnea on his beel, leaving the notoriety hunters much discomfited. BASE BALL. John M. Ward arrived in New Tork, a few days since after a prolonged hunting expedi- tion. He states positively that he will not play ball in Brooklyn next year but he refused to discuss the roposition to make him President of the ew York Club. The matter has been talked of very freely in the East, but no confirma- tory rumors can be — from either side. In dtscussing the changes in the rules Ward said he favored placing the pitcher back five feet, as it would increase batting and base running, but he did not believe in other rad- ical changes. EXIT ILLINOIS-IOWA LEAGUE, The Ilinois-Iowa League will pass out of existencetto-day, and it is more than likely thata new league will be organized at the annual league meeting this afternoon in Chi- cago that will embrace Elgin, Aurora, Ottawa, Joliet, La Salle and Streator. Secre- tary W. S. McCaull will introduce a plan to organize the towns named into an incorpor - ated company, the stock to be $12,000, or $2,000 from each club; the season tobe four months, with a salary list of $600 or $700; players to be pooled after the Western fash- ion and paid out of the genéral fund, and all receipts to go into the league pool to pay players’ salaries and other expenses. BASE BALL GOSSIP. Jack . Luby who was one of Anson’s pitchers last presen has, soit is reported, signed with New Or- eans. . The Washington management wants either Billy Joyce or Joe Mulvey to cover third base for the Sena- tors the coming season. ’ Tip O'Neil will not play with Cincinnati the com- ing seaton. Comiskey, itis said, says that the once great batter is now a back number. The stoekholders of the Sportsman’s Park and Club held their annual meeting yesterday morning and elected Chris Von der Ahe, Wiiliam Medart, Rufus J. Delano, John W. Peckington and G. Gruen to serve as directors during the present year. In a letter to a Cleveland friond Pitcher John Clarkson says: ‘‘I think putting the pitcher back to the 55-foot mark will have the desired effect of in- creasing the batting. Another good thing would de to allow no put-outs on fouls. The proposed en- largement of the diamond would be too much of an innovation. BILLIARDS. New Tonk, Jan. 10.— Maurice Daly has an- nounced his intention to back Albert Gar- nier in the two matches proposed by Slosson play balk-line and cushion carom, Nothing would please me better, Slosson said when told of the fact, ‘‘than to have Garnier as an adversary. I should like to see him in this country again. But I want to say that my challenge is open to the first taker, and if Frank Ives were to accept it first | would be obliged to play him instead df Garnier. ’’ Slosson is authority for the statement that Schaefer will be here in a fortnight and that if Gibelin, Garnier and other French experts are coming over it means that arrangements had been made fora series of international tourneys during the Worid’s Fair. New York would then get a chance to enjoy an old-fashioned battle of the billiard stars over the oe cloth. Chicago and other big cities would see some fine billiards, too. SPORTING NOTES. Homer Lane, who along in the 608 was the cham- pion collar and elbow wrestler of the world, is still living and makes New York his home, The Hosmer-Bubear sculling match is attracting very little attention in England, owing tothe fact that both men are second-class oarsmen. The report that Harvard had ordered an aluminium shell from Galanaugh, in Philadelphia, has set Yale men to thinking. Galanaugh offers to guarantee that his sheli will be ten seconds faster than a cedar ora paper boat. The metal is only one-twentieth of an inch tnick, and the shell will be about fifty pounds lighter than one of cedar or of paper. Capt. Ives of the Yale crew has as yet done nothing in the matter.

The issue is sharply dtawn de- tween corporate greed and the public good. : — BURY THE WIRES. Senator Stone’s statement that he has met all the objections in framing his underground wire bill brought by the rep- resentatives of wire companies against the bill to accomplish the same object of two years ago, and the further proof that the bill is not designed to foster a conduit monopoly, knocks the pins from under the wire corporations The wire companies have claimed that they are willing to put their wires under ground, but have opposed specific meas- ures on the ground that they granted insufficient time or imposed condi- tions which would subfect them to useless cost. If they oppose a fair measure giving them ample time and freedom in the manner of laying the wires, it is proof that they have been insincere and have been merely playing the Legislature for the purpose of defeating all measures provid- ing for the burying of the wires. The Stone bill brings the question before the Legislature sharply on its merits. Shall the vital interests of all the people of St. Louis be sacrificed to the petty inter- ests of a few corporations? Shall life and property in this city be endangered to save these corporations a little initial trouble and expense in making their wires safe? — THE FATE OF THE CONVICT, The question of convict labor cannot be settled without a rational consideration of the rights of the convict himself and of the innocents who are punished and wronged by his incarceratfon. A system which denies all the ordinary rights now held to be the inalienable property of all, is a vicious and barbaro us survival of a time when force was the only law. It is an anachronism in morals which should not be tolerated in a country in which humanity and morality prevail, If there is any right which is held, theo- retically, by the whole American people it is the right of the laborer to his earn- ings. But, practically, our penal custom violates this even more completely than did the system of chattel slavery swept away by the civil war. For the convict is made to endure hardships and depriva- tions much more hideous than those im- posed by the most brutal masters of black slaves. Every one knows this who has witnessed the barbarities suffered by the unfortunates in Tennessee, Georgia and Arkansas. They are farmed out like so many cattle to be worked for the profit of the employer, and at the end of their term, if they survive it, are broken in health, destitute in pocket and fitted only for re-entry into crime, which speed- ily lands them once more in the convict gangs, Their earnings are appropriated by the State, which enters into a partner- ship with greedy individuals to make crime ‘‘pay.’’ The convict’s fate is worse than the slave’s, because the latter’s health was always the object ot the master’s care, while there is no such responsibility rest- ing upon the employer of the despised ‘*zebra.’’ When a negro slave was hanged by law for murder, the State paid the master the value of the laborof whichit deprived him, and when the bread-winner of 3 family is imprisoned for ten years the rights of thatfamily should be held as sacred as the Jaw held the right of a master to his slave’s labor. The interests of society and the preven- tion of crime require that a convict’s earn- ings shall be as nearly as possible eqyal to those of the free workingmen, and every- thing above necessary expense should be held in trust for him or turned over to his family. Contractors. enjoy exceptional facilities which enable them to pay a rea- sonable wage. Naturally, of course, they a bl 1 9 — airs" fag ö 1 we 3 ark 2 Pi b u 2 * 1 ham la orn frie . W — _ THE i Ml 2 4 QUESTION. 5 “Ts menting: Weld tn Memorial Hall’ rast | evening to protest against the action of Congress in closing the World's Fair on ‘Sundays brought out two most gratifying features. The discussion demonstrated that. the representative citizens and churchmep gathered there were not less liberal in their views of the uses of Sunday and the privilege of indi- viduals to use it according to their con- sciences than they were strict in their view of the impropriety of the attempt on the part of Congress to enforce any form of crabbed sabbatarianism upon citizens. Although not expressed in the resolution adopted, which it was explained was in accordance with the petition of the World’s Fair directors, the true keynote was struck in the treatment of both phases of the subject. The most important note of the discussion was the general recognition of the fact that Congress transcended its proper functions and violated a fundamental principle of free government when it presumed to regulate the observance of Sunday. The root of the matter lies in the assertion and mainte- nance of the principle of individual liberty in all matters of religious ob- servance. The right of a citizen to spend Sunday as he pleases, with due considera- tion for order and decency, precludes all interference. The freedom and respect due the strict Sabbatarian ip the per- formance of his religious exercises is due religious faith. No other method of in- ducing citizens to submit to any regula- tion of Sunday observance can be recog- nized as proper except moral suasion. No other is effectual. The resolution adopted by the meeting and the petition of the World’s Fair direc- tors, although covering the particular object sought in this case, do not cut deep enough, Theclause of the World’s Fair act referring to Sunday should be repealed in its entirety. The question of opening or shutting the Fair in part or in whole on that day should be left to the discretion of the directors and the influence of public opinion. — — MoRE evidence of the abuse of the ab- solute power exercised by the Collector in the matter of issuing licenses was brought out yesterday by the arrestof an em- ployment agent on a charge of swindling. The applications for class are made to and passed upon by the Board of Police Commissioners. An un- favorable report was made upon ‘the ap- plication of this man, yet the Collector issued the license and the date of the period from which it was to run was fixed a month previous to the date of issue. Under the system which makes the Collector a czar in the matter of granting and issuing li- censes and collecting the revenue therefor, it is impossible to obtain information with regard to the methods and conditions prevailing in the office except by accident. The Collector refuses to giveany. But enough slips out acci- dentally to prove that a prompt and radi- cal reform of the system 77 the Legislature is demanded. — — . —_ o_—=_____—— Ar the temperance meeting at Enter- tainment Hall this evening under the auspices of the local league the work of the Keeley National League will be ex- plained by Col.

Mathews, Rev. Dr. Snyder, the Rev. J. D. Vincil and others will also deliver addresses on the temperance question with special reference to Dr, Keeley’s discovery. Whatever may be thought of this movement it commands a hearing by reasonof the great numbers who are enlisted, and whose faith and en- thusiasm are unbounded, Its purposes are benevolent and moral. Its advocates have every right to ask that everyone in- terested in such work should listen to them respectfully and thoughtfully, n — Tun suggestion of a correspondent in our People's Forum’’ that the Legisla- ture should create a board of pardons for this city, or, at least, devise some method by which the pardoning power may be guarded from the abuses which character- ize it at present, is timely and good. There is no form of municipal authority which has been more scandalously de- based to serve the corrupt uses of per- sonaland political ends thanthis. The power to remit fines and bond forfeitures and to relieve offenders from penalties has been made the instrument to debauch pol- itics, loot the treasury, rob the school fund and foster law-breaking. Some method of checking the abuse is badly needed in this olty. ' THE Rev. Dr. Clark — Tuo Harlem Puritan Charch now asks for dismissal because he cannot consent to believe that the inspired word as it came from God is without error; that tho Scriptures are faise and Christ is untruthful unless Moses wrote ell the Pentateuch and Isaiah all the book which bears his name, and that the om - niscience and unchangeableness of God de. pend upon the tulnumont of every detait and figure of predicted prophecy.’ want to manufacture as cheaply as . 4 „ * * r @ Se News ry ge: ae pet: 1 N N , 5 * * 4 7 7 D.

To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Your editorial this evening on the opening of the Indian Territory is sensible and well timed. The mercbants of St. Louis are-vitally interested in the provisions of the Cherokee treaty and the carrying into effect of the law passed in 1891. The administration has not done its duty in enforcing the provisions of the law. You ask What will st. Loulsans do for the opening of the indian Territory?’’ Unless they are more Vigilant and energetic than they have beenin other matters, viz. the improvement of Jefferson Barracks, the question ts easily answered, In the Barracks matter we allowed the department heaa- quarters to be removed from here to Chicago and allowed the appropriation bilisthat were assed in the Senate for the benefit of the zarracks to dle in the House, The merchants of the Territory, nearly all of whom 1 know personally, are looking to St. Louls and patientiy waiting to see What steps we will take for their relief, If the Territory held the same . graphical and commercial relation to Chicagothat it holds to St. Louls, you would see a delega- tion of merchants large enough to fili a Füll- man car knocking at the door of Congress and demanding prompt and immediate action in this matter. will be worth $2,000, 000 annually to St. ulis to have this measure execule ° St. Louls, Jan. 9, 1893, 8 * A Board ot Pardons Wanted, To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch; While the law makers are in session could not thé PosT-DISPATCH assist the citizens in having a law passed preventing the whole- sale abuse of the pardoning power whereby the political element 1s defegting the inten tions of nd depie ry sonal 1 = ‘ere nouid be a Board of ons create either dy popular vote or appointment, in eities of the first- class and counties, and it should be such as to prevent any judge or other official from remitting any fine or sentence after imposed by court or jury.

Oarrier Owens, who for several days past occupied the last place on the list, yesterday sent in a col- lection which materially improved his standing. bis proud position in first place and his friends are doing their best to keep him there. Several new competitors sent in col- lections large enough to procure for them a place far from the last, Other changes in the list of contestants are noted below. In sending in collection§ of coupons it is al- waysadvisable to pack them as neatly as possible in order to facilitate the count and to prevent errors. Dono your cogpons up in bundles, but presage them as straight and flatas possible. Always state the total number of coupons sent, thus providing a check upon the count here, Wrap your cou- pons up securely. Individual effort alone must be depended upon in this contest. As stated daily in the conditio, no pooling of votes will be al- lowed und any competitors found clubbing wili be at oneé disqualified, Such anattempt cannot be kept secret, and every case will be thoroughly investigated before the final award is made. No exceptions to this rule will be made tn favor ot anyone. The public themselves can probably do more to prevent any such attempt and to promote fair play than anything else. Betore banding your coupons to your favorite carrier ascertain his name and number and fill out the blank spaces on the ballot with the same in ink, In no case should coupons be handed to car - riers in the blank form. f LIST OF CONTESTANTS. 1.

Princess Marie is _/ half Russian, her mother being the Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrowna, only daughter _ OfCzar Alexander II. Princess Marie is said do be Russian in her tendencies, and, as her character is a much stronger one than her husband’s, her influence before and after she reaches the throne will be exerted in favor of Russia. It is stated that, to prevent the possibility ofa direct heir being born to succeed to the ‘throne of Roumania, which would prevent bis daughter becoming Queen, the Duke of '.

A Reminiscence e That Is a Warn- ing to All. — — When a man comes near death in «a battle or dis- ease he thoroughly realizes how sweet a thing is Ute. It is fact that we do not value a jewel until we lose it, and oniy one who has come dan«erously near death, or at least has suffered weeks and months of sickness, can fully appreciate the bless- ing of health and life. How many people there are who grow weak and tired without knowing why, do not sleep well nights dnd get up mornings tired and unfreshed; their bead often aches and feels badly, their stomach, liver or kidneys are affected, they have constipated bowels, and tney feel nervous, de- pressed in mind and generally ran down. Then it is that they realize the value of their lost health. * So it was with Charles H. Stevens, Esq., of South Effingham, N. H.,a man well-known and highly honored in the Granite State. 2 5 2 Dt —— ; PP inde J 4 ie ye g * oi eet e Mer a 8 Driving to Desperation ; . with the Unapproachable Bargains Offered During OUR FIRST GRAND ANNUAL MEN’S OLLARS, C. & C.

The latter, in turn, re- nounced his rightsin favorof his brother, Prince Ferdinand, in 1888, and in 1889 King Onaries issued a decree creating him Prince of Roumania. The Queen of Roumania has written several well-known works of prose and poetry under the nom de plume of Carmen Sylva. Her efforts tobring abouta marriage between Prince Ferdinand and Mlle. Vacaresco, one of her maidsof honor, are well remembered. : ic |The wedding of the Crown Prince may not be just the proper occasion to draw attention to all ne to Princess Marie was and the bridegroom’s prior love affair, but as his devotion to Mlle. Vacaresco threatened to overthrow the Roumanian dynasty, it isa historical as well as apersonal matter. At the time the affair was fresh inthe public mind, owing to the refusal of the Roumanian warliament to sanction a marriage between the two, and its threat to change the succes- sion if the Crown Prince persisted in his de- termination to marry her, the following history of Mlle. Vacaresco and her family ap- peared: Few intrigues born of women at court have caused more trouble in modern times than the schemes of this young girl to succeed a Queen. Mille. Vacaresco is not yet 30 and looks hardly 2. She is a Rouamlan of me- dium height, dark skin, full proportions. Her hair is black, her lips have a swelling ‘fullness and her forehead is full and round- ‘ing. Sheis of the noble Roman house of , perhapsthe most shameful of | houses on the Continent.

In all three cities he was notorious asa patron of public women and was treated by the Diplomatic Corps withcontempt. Mile. Helene differs from the rest of her house in that she is intelligent and brilliant. she is French in training and taste. When it became known that the Crown Prince was enamored of Mlle. Vacaresco a storm, arose in Roumania that threatened to sweep King Charles from the throne. The Queen, however, favored the lovers and encouraged the courtship. The proposed match was finally broken off, much to the disgust of the Queen. It is said that after the betrothal of the Crown Prince announced Mlle. Vacaresco amused herself by mailing every week to the Princess one ofthe love letters written to her (Mile. Vacaresco) by Prince Ferdinand. BRITISH TOPICS.

COUGH DONT DELAY EMP S Club last night was a much more harmonious affair than was at one time expected. There were two tickets in the feld, the regular ticket, headed by Mr. E. S. Abadie for President, nominated on Saturday night; and the P. A. C, Ticket, with John H. Boogher for President; George Rhodes, Vice~ President; A. W. Burgess, Secretary, and Harry Platt, Jr., Treasurer. And in addi- tion it was pretty well understood on Sunday and Monday that Mr. R. J. Delano would make the race as an independent candidate tor the presidency. Mr. Delano’s candidacy was foreshadowed in Saturday’s PosT-DISPATCH. Objection was made to him because he had been less than sixty days a member of the Pastime Club and because he was also a prominent spiritin the Sportsman’s Park Association, and therefore might, it was feared, use his influence in favor of the new grounds of the latter and against the De Hodiamont scheme ofthe Pastime Gymnasium Association. In order to head him off’’ a directors’ meeting was held after the caucus on Saturday night and a new by-law was adopted declaring noone eligible to the presidency, vice-presidency or treasuryship who had not been six months a member of theclub. That this by-law was aimed at Mr. Delano was strenuously denied by all who participated in the directors’ mesting in question; but nevertheless, that was the view that was taken of it by the members generally, and when the Pastime Club as- sembled for the election last night the meeting declined to proceed with the regular order untii it explicitly voted that the by-law should not apply to the pending election. This was done after a hot debate by avery large majority, and the vote was accepted by the adherents of the other candidates asa sign that Delano was the coming man, and Mr. Delano was nominated for President, Mr. Abadie sec- onding the motion, By unanimous vote the Secretary was instructed to ‘‘cast the bal- lot’’ for Mr. Delano for President, and he was then introduced amid rounds of applause. He briefly expressed his thanks, and said he was too rattled to say much. Mr. John H. Boogher was elected Vice-Pres- ident, Mr. A. W. Burgess, Secretary, and Mr. Harry S. Platt. Jr.. Treasurer—all by **casting the ballot. For directors the following were chosen: Paul McSweeney, J. E. Bostick, H. A. Can- fleld, Wallace McCargo, F. G. Sanfrod, Jerome Karst, R. B. . Jr., E. F. Hall, George McClain. THE ANNUAL REPORTS. The President, A. D. Hartwell, reviewed the work of the year with great satisfaction. The most important event was probably the purchase of athletic grounds at De Hodia- mont, ata cost. fully improved, of $40,000, and which, when completed, would be turned over to the Pastime Athietic Club. The Secretary and Treasurer’s reports em- braced the following: On May 1, 1892, when the present Secretary took hold, there were 642 members. Under the operation of the $5 initiation this number was increased to1,011. For various reasons 284 had been dropped and the membership was now 727. On Oct. 15, 1891, when the P. A. C. got into the building, there was $10,775.77. on hand. aoe club’s obligations were: ‘tal stock 2 00 lis payable. loans on building Bille payable, furniture, plumbing, Kas- fittlug, ete 11,114 15 On the latter, $5,809. 78 nas been paid during the year; also "$1, 800 interest on the $30,000 debt and $820.10 as interest on $6,000 note of Goess & Remmers, making total reduction of indebtedness during the year of $7,929.98.

After the ‘‘B’’ has once been dis- cerned by the aid of the glass it can be plainly seen by the naked eye. It is exactly similar In size and design to the letters on the silver dollar to designate the particular mint at which they were coined. Chief Coiner Steel of the United States Mint, when asked to explain the matter, said: ‘‘The B' is the initial letter of the last name ofthe man who made the design for the coin, which is Barber. It is an old En- glish custom to place the designer’s initial on coins, and several pieces of United States coins are so marked. For instance, a careful scrutiny of tne bronze penny will discover the letter ‘M,’ which stands for Morgan, the name of the designer ofthatcoin. The double eagle bears the let- ter L' for Longacre, who made that design, and Mr. Barber’s Initial letter also appears on the silver dollar.“ ANOTHER FIRE. Wholesale Clothing House Burnt.

A West Chester man home froma triptothe West tells thejfollowing remarkable dog story as it was recited to him by a regular-army sol- dier: ‘*Troop F of the Sixth Calvalry owned a dog which accompanied itoneverytrip. At the battle of Wounded Knee some time ago the animal was abandoned and was found in a snowdrift by a Sergeant of I Troop, who took it away and cared for it. The animal could not be persuaded to return to its former owners and remained with the Sergeant. One day the Sergeant was reduced to the ranks for some breach of discipline. From that day forth the dog would have nothing whatever to do with him, and took up its quarters in an- other tent. It could never azain be per suaded to return to the Sergeant, evidently considering a reduced man as far beneath its notice.

This week thousands of guesses were received at this office from the many hundred people who tried hard to secure one of the twelve prizes offered weekly to the first twelve persons sending in correct guesses. Quite a variety of different ‘‘ads.’’ were chosen, showing conclusively that all the many advertisements had been read and carefully studiedin theattemptto find the right one. Almost all of the ‘‘ads’’ so chosen did in point of fact receive replies in num bers running into the hundreds. Just elghty- one persons were successful in picking out the most popular ‘‘ad.’’ as follows: \ TANTED—Six young men to workin wholesale house for easy packing: $10 per week to start. Add.

According to the rules of the contest the prizes have been awarded to the first twelve correct guesses received, doing this the Post-DIsPparcH performed all it promised, and with the distribution of these prizes its obligations cease. Were this, however,’ done this week it would result in the exclusion of the other sixty-nine competitors, who also sent incorrect guesses, but who were not fortunate opened among the first. Rather than do this it has been decided toadd sixty-nine extra prizes to those al- ready offered in this week’scontest, and all who sent in correct guesses will receive a prize. This of course entalls considerable additional ex- pense, but it will result in the satisfaction of all who would otherwise be disappointed. The special prizes will take the form of handsomely bound volumes of the works of standard authors, and books containing popular poems, beautifully illustrated. Each one will form a vaiuable ad- dition to any library, and cannot fail to be properlyappreciated. The winners can obtain these prizes by calling at this of- fice to-morrow. The regular cash prizes were awarded to the first twelve correct answers opened, as follows: For the first correct answer 510 in gold was awarded to H. H. Mitchell, 909 South Seventh street. For the second correct answer a prize of $5 in gold was awardedto Hiram Roesch, 6504 Michigan avenue, The remaining ten prizes of $l each were awarded as follows: W. Held, 1528 Bacon street: M. A.

Manager Résorting to the Usual Tao- tics to Mislead the Legislature—Coun- oil Work That Is Intended to Weaken the General Movement — Mr, Durant and His Pian of Oampaign. Manager George F. Durant of the Beall Tele- phone Co, is an aggressive man, and he doesn’t believe in a shilly-shally policy. He doesn’t want the Legislature to pass the bill of E. Senator F. Stone, and he under- stands that to prevent that be must take time by oi forelock, So he has sent to the Council Committee on Public Improvements and asked fhem to take up at once the bill he has there permitting him to subway bis wires. This committee is comp osed of the President of the Merchants’ Exchange, William T. Ander- son; Vice-President William M. Horton of the Council, and Councilman Charles F. James. Mr. James will not bo in St. Louis for some time. He is in Texas, buying cattle. Senator Stone’s bill was introduced into the Legislature Thursday. Friday the Posr- DISPATCH announced that the wire com- panies would try to defeat the bill by resort- ing to the tactics of 1691 and making a great show of zeal before the St. Louis Assembly. Saturday, Mr. Horton tore himself away from a very exacting business and became anxious for hiscommittee to consider with- out delay the Durant Dill, which had been lying unnoticed in the committee’s box for several months. Councilman Horton was asked by a reporter of the Post-DIsPATOH What he thought of the bill, and evaded a discussion of that, turning the conve rsation at once to the local bill. HORTON TALKS OF THE BILL. „Ive always been in favor of putting the ‘Wires underground, said he, and I’m : willing to give Durant this permission, pro- vided he’ll agree to carry the city wires free and furnich free telephone service to city offices, the Mayor ordering the service in the Offices when it is necessary.’’ „Why are you taking up the bill at the Present time, Mr. Horton was asked, “‘when the Legislature is considering the whole subject?

Manager Durant was seen a few minutes afterwards by the reporter. He said that his company was being treated ea | through the accusation of insincerity in its profession of desire to go underground. Hesaid he was willing that his local bill should be more stringent, even that it should oblige the company to go underground in two years.

SENATOR STONE’S BILL. The Assembly Will Not Control the Sub- Way Franchise. Following is the bill of Senator Stone in full: . 1. In all cities of the State which now have, or may hereafter have, a pores of 300,000 inhab- itants or more, all telegraph or telephone and elec- tric light and power wires and cables shai: be placed under the surface of the streots, avenues, alleys and ublic places, or strung overhead,in the manner and —— the terms and condition herein provided, and no wire or cable shall be placed or strung except in conformity to this law. Every corporation associa- rson owning or Controiling telegraph, electric or other wires and cabies in- t are known as — 7 poles and rtenances thereto, shali before the lst day Mey. 1805, have the same removed trom the surface ol all streets, avenues, alleys and public places of said cities, subject to the conditions and modiflea- d provisions hereinafter prescribed; pro- , however, that the provisions of this act shall not be so construed as to apply to wires, cables and electrical conductors used by street railway com- niesin operating their railroads and propelling eir e . ementof this act, and it is the duty of said syor and board, at the expiration of the tiine above ted, to cause to be removed from the surface aud put, maintain ang operate under ground, wherever practicable, all electric wires or Cables used, orto be used, in the business of any such company in an street, avenue, alley or public place in any suc city, so as to enable or require all duly authorized companies operating or intending to operate cilec- tric conductors in any street, avenue, aliey or pub- ie place of any such city as are or shall be affected — tne visions of t act to transact their busi. ness with undergroued conductores wherever prac- tioab le. VING THE PLANS. „g. When any company operating. or intend- 0 amapor ma venues, alleys or other — to be used for suc purpose, and eral location, dimensions and erground conduits desired to giving 1 2358 0 1 re any such conduit sbail be truction so pro route, a use of the streets and a said A 1 ire an shall power to require Eee remo and of ot underground con- to such from time by th ade, subways or conduits so prepared in accordance with the provisions of this act. Whenever the public in- terests do not require the said wires, cables or elec- trical conductors to be placed under ground, and whenever, inany locality of any such city, it is deemed by said board to be for any cause im- practicable or unnecessary to construct and suc- cessfully operate underground the said wires, cables or electric conductors required by any such company, then, and in either of those cases it shall be the duty of said Mayor and board to examineand grant the application of any such company for permission to deviate from an under- ground system, but such deviation shall not be con- strued to be irrevocable or confer any vested rights. Any such permit shail be held and construed to authorize the construction and maintenance of the lines of condnetors therein provided for, as and where —— by the Mayer and board. The work of construction of every line of conductors authorized by such permit, s granted, shall be sub- ect to the res and regulations, not consistent erewith, prescribed or to be prescribed by said local authorities; every such permit shall specify the location of the structure to be erected and to be used for sustaining the electric conductors, shall give the general dimensions and route thereof, and shall be subject to revocation, alteration or miodification by said local authorities whenever public interests shall demand. It shall be the duty of sald Mayor and board in devising the aforesaid plan 60 to devise the same that the subway or aerial plan may be used by any such city for the electric wires or conductors operated by its police, fire and other departments without expense, except the expense of the wires or conductors. Sec, 8. Whenever said Mayor and Board of Public Improvements shall hereafter permit any erial electrical wires or cables to be carried along or acress and above the surface of any of the streets, avenues, alleys or other highways of any such city, it shall be the duty of the Mayor and board to desig- nate in such permit the route of the line, the height at whieh such wires and cables shall be placed, and the character, dimensions and location of the poles or other structures on which the same are to be sup- ported, and all such wires and cables shall be erected and maintained in conformity with said permit, and not otherwise. The bill combines the best features of the New York and Chicago laws.

The Missouri Electric Light and Power Co,, one ofthe three companies that has con- tracts for city ighting with St. Louls, this morning sent to the Board of Public Im- provements a book nearly three feet square, and about six inches thick, containing draw ings of their proposed subway system, With it came the following letter: We herewith submit for your approval a compre- hensive plan tor the laying of the wires of the Mis- souri Electric Light and Power Co. under ground, By the terms of the contract of the Missouri Elec- tric Light and Power (o. with the city, the former can, under certain con- ditions, de requested to lay its wires under ground, and there is no question, but it would be advisable for both parties, in the case of this con- tingency arising, that the change be made on @ comprehensive and elaborated pian, such as we con sider the plans now flied to be. As a mat- ter of fact, now if the methods adopted heretofore in other cities can be adopted in this city; partly because none of the methods adopted up to date can be considered as satisfactorily operated, and partly because the local conditions differ. There is no question but that the general pian herein submitted is the one which according to our present, knowledge is best adapted for the purpose of giving a satisfactory service to the publie, such as itis entitled to, with the least possi- ble disturbance to the streets. In the details, however, some uncertainty exists as to the best of several methods of laying the wires, and it is for this parpose that we have filed plans now, so that with the permission of your board some one section ma be laid on the lan which we now »elleve to be est that in case it proves as satisfactory as we how think it may be finally adopted for use in the entire plan. It is very likely thatthe experiénce gained in the layingand operating of a small section of the plan here submitted and which can be mutually agreed upon may result in suggesting numerous other changes in the laying, which, however, vill in no wise interfere with the 1 out of the gen- eral set of plans now submitted for your approval. We woals, therefore, ask you to please adopt the general plan herein submitted with the permission to ustolaya small section according to the plans, which we now believe to be the best, so that in case of the emergency arising, which is contemplated in the contract between this com pany and the city, the work of laying the wires underground may progress satisfactorily and with the greatest benefitto the HERBERT A. WAGNER, Superintendent. No action wastaken by the board. The proposition will be considered later. HAD NO ATTORNEY. - Mine Tromoter Whalen Has His Examina- tion Continued—He Still Talks Boldly. Among thieves, thugsand petty Offenders William Whalen, President of the St. Peter’s Consolidated Silver and Copper Mining Co., made his appearance in the Court of Criminal Correction this morning for a preliminary hearing onthetwo cases brought against him by excited stockholders, There was a motley crowd inthe room, but silence fell upon them, and as he stepped out of the cage every one craned for- ward to catch a glimpse of the man who was once regarded a millionaire. Dr. Lutz, Henry Nicolaus, the Schlossstein brotbers and severalinterested stockholders crowded about the bar as the little promoter stepped forward. Whalen seemed dazed as he faced the crowd and stood stock still, but a Deputy Sherif’ pushed him up to the bar, where he faced Judge Cla!- borne. His prosecutors looked surprised when they noted the absence of Gov. John- son from the side of his reputed client and the 1loox turned to one of dis- appointment when in reply to the Judge’s question, Whalen asked for a con- tinuance, as he had been unable to secure counsel. Aftera short consultation with the defense, it was agreed to postpone the hear- ing until Friday, Jan. 24. After Whalen was led back to the cage he was asked why he had been without counsel, He answered readily, Because I did not want any. The reply was signif. cant in view of the way in which he had ob- tained a post ponement. Askea if Gov. Johnson had not been retained by him, be said: The Governor was my attorney, but we had a disagreement last evening over the retaining fee and I dis- pensed with his services. I will now have ample time to select a lawyer.’’ Do you anticipate getting ball?“ ‘*Oertainly. I will de out on ball to-day or to-morrow by the longest. Who will be on your bond?’’ Why. I have plenty of friends of St. Louis and hundreds of relatives. Now, anybody that thinks lam going to get the worst of this is badly mistaken, he continued in a very hopeful strain. There is not the slightest particle of evidence that I have misled anyone or misrepresented any- thing. I guess I am smart enough to keep from doing anything illegal. The whole rea- son of this attempted -ftprosecution is the jealousy of some stockholders here who paid $25 a for their stock because wanted to sell a few thousand shares of stock at $5. I wanted to raise $15,000 to put in a few copper smelters and a machine for saving a larger quantity of the silver, The silver in the mine is in the form of chlorides, and the machines we had could only sepa- rate a small per cent. The new mill would bring out 90 per cent of the product and everything would be going on swimmingly if it had not been for this prose- cution. ff any one thinks this will knock me out they don’t know me. Whenl get out of bere my wife, who is now out near the mines, will join me and I will live in St. Louls. These people here need not be afraid; they have Prof, Hambach’s report and if that is not strong enough they can have the opinion of Prof. Lloyd Owen of Lon- don, a world-famous mining expert.’’ Did you show Prof. Hambach the mines?“ es. was at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, when Mastbrook and Newman telegraphed me that Hambach had been sent out by some wealthy St. Louis Germans. I went on to meet him and showed him through the mines. We nad several shafts sunk 800 feet atthe time he was there and there was considerable tunneling done, You Know what he said about it. Every other expert that visited the mines had sent back the same opinion. “If these people don’t want their stock I can find 8 who will take it and be glad to get public.

Commercial Notes. Itissaid that wheat at present prices will bring more money fed to milch cows when butter is 30 to 4Uc per d. Last week’s im ports into the Gaited Kingdom were moderate—272,0U0 bbis flour, 1,608,000 bu wheat and 1,474,000 bu corn. The snow that covered Kansas appears to have dis- appeared, as only a trace of snow is reported for that State by the Weather sureau. The available supply of wheat on land and sea shows a decrease of 404, + 2 bu last week, the first reduction in that amount for months past. The crop of grain may have been smaller this year butthe crop of experience large; and by reason of the very low price of the former the latter may prove the more valuable. Iferop scares or something else equally as effec- tive does not come along shortiy and boom this wheat, there will be a number of discouraged longs who will „go to the deck. There is apparently a majority in the Senate favor- ing the anti-option law,but if action on this question can be staved off until Congress adjourns, a majority of this majority will breathe much easier. New Orleans continues to export large quantities of wheat. Hershipmentsfora week or two have aggregated more than any other port in this countrv. Yesterday the clearances were 105,000 bu wheat to Sanderiand, Engiand, Theexports from seven Atlantic 2 for the week were 247,760 bbis four, 1,566,380 bu wheat, 514.718 bu corn, 46,187 bu oats, 28.000 bu rye, 3. 174 bbis pork. 8,958,890 lbs bacon aud hams, and 5,321,010dbs lard. As their estimated requirements were about 1,- 000,000 bu less than the imports of four and wheat into the United Kingdom and Knglisu farmers’ de- liveries combined, the English yisibie is supposed to have decreased that much. The amount of snow on the ground in winter wheat sections from Inodiana west, as reported by the Gov- erument Observer: St. Louis, a trace; Des Moines, 7 inches: Omaha, 3; Indianapolis, 3, Dubuque, 10; Springfield, III., 2; Chicago, 4; Grand Haven, 20; — "Kansas City, W ichita and Valentine, a race A decrease of 952,000 bu in the amount of wheat on passage inaicates smaliershipments last week from the different exporting countries to Europe, especially as United Kingdom exports were far from large last week and by far the greatest amount afloat is headed for that couutry. “There has been no snow to speak of in this imme- diate section and the weather has been unusually dry for a lengthy period, with sadden and severe changes in the temperature. This combination of unfavorable circumstances has not alone excited apprehensions, but is now Dbriaging forth complaints from farmers in St. Louis County. Weather conditions to-day—A severe cold wave covers the country from Missouri north and east; the greatest changes have occurred in the Upper Mississippi Valley. The temperature will still fall decidedly in the Atlantic and Gulf States, probably carrying freezing weather into Northern Florida Forecast—Continued cold weather Wednesday moruing followed by warmer; fair until Wednesday evening. There is no doubt, but that the States of Kentucky and Tennessee are entirely cieaned out. so far as farmers’ reserves of wheat are concerned, and the millers of those States from now on will have to depend upon St. Louis and other accummulative centers for supplies. Indiana, too, is said to be very low in country stocks, as in fact is all States East of the Mississippi with the possible exception of Illi- nois. In the whole country, Kansas probably carries the largest reserve of any State. The latest phase of the trouble in France from the Panama Canal steal and scandal, arouses a slight hope in the breasts of the grain bulls that it may cul- minale in a general European war. They tigure it this way: ‘he resignation of the brench Ministry and the excitementit creates may lead to revolution; revolution may lead to the inter- vention of other powers; this may result in political complications and hitter feelings, particularly if Germanyis involved. This may lead to war. This ig a long way around and may not help May wheat, Beerbohm says: The reports from Russiaaré of the samecharacier as before; exporters are not able to accept the prices offered from England, so that the shipm ents are falling off, and are princi- * y for Mediterranean and other Continental ports, leanwhile the milder weather has reopensd navi- gation on the Daeiper, and the supplies at Odessa are larger, sothat the stocks are increasing. At Odessa on the 20th inst the stock of wheat was 645,- 000 ars, that of maize was 145,000 q rs, and that of barley 250, 000 qrs. With regard to the growing crops, the reports have generally improved, and although the outlookin Russia ts not priliteat, it mav be considered satisfactory on the whole. The Mark Lane 8 in its weekly review of the British grain trade, 3 English Wheat has risen 5d in London, and ls in several ofthe country markets. The sales have been smaller than usual in midwinter. For the first time in a lone period the demand has exceeded the supply. The stocks have thereby been reduced to 115.000 qrs. A continuance of this demand would greatly heip trade out of the despondent stagnation that prevailed in Dec A decrease in the shipments from America and an increase in the Continental demand for indian wheat has helped the market since New Year's Day. The chief feature of the stockis the enormous in- crease in the supply of foreign flour, In Jan, 1892, the stock of such four was 595,000 ars, lt is now 1,520,000 qrs. ‘The Liverpool Corn Trade News of Dec. 27 says: The official returns of the stocks,of wheat at the ehiet Russian ports at the end of Dec. shows a decrease at the interior points, but no material alteration as the ports, the grand total, allowin; for non-returning ports, being abou 800,000 bu smailer than a month ago. Of rye, the stocks remain very light, and in bariey there ig con- siderable decrease. Hungarian advices report more wintry weather. Inland navigation, thou 4 — at a complete standstill, is again interrupted. ect- ing the condition of crops, nothing anfavorab e is sald. Reports from Germany say that the mild, damp weather which cieared the snow from the fiolds, has been feliowed by hard, black frosts. Gene rally speaking the condition of the crops is re- garded as'satis factory, but one Correspondent is of the opizion that the prevailing Weather might easily cause damage. MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.

Some comment was expected to-day when it was known that the board of directors of the Merchants’ Exchange had raised several salaries. S. H. Hewlett, the assist- ant secretary, had his salary advanced from $125 to $150 a month, Mare Gautier, the official reporter, was advanced from $100 to $125 a month, andthe messenger from $4) to $50. There was little objection to these advances, but many criticisms concerning the salary of C. N. Osgood, Commissioner of the Traffic Association, whorecieves $1,800a year from the Merchants“ Exchange. Some agree that, when economy is nece-sary, this salary is excessive, but others maintain that the services rendered are well worth it. THE INDIAN TERRITORY OPENING.
