Rail- ‘road communication south, ffom Autralia to [ Vicksburg, over the Riverside Division of the Yazoo & Railroad, is en- tirely cut off, and also over the Southern road, from here east to the main trunk of the Yazuo & Mississippi Valley Railroad. Thousands of flood-bound people are Mississippi caught and penned in between the three Bolivar County breaks, and no communica- tion can be had with them. Refugees com- ing into the city to-day from the country this side of the Mound break report’ many families in peril of their lives:on the other side of the crevasse, as there is only seven miles of country between them and Steads, and it is next to ‘mpossible for all to escape. This morning a panic is raging here and conflicting counsel prevails. A movement to build a protection levee was started, but abandoned as a useless waste of labor, as the water will be here before it would be completed. Greenville lies in the center of a crescent, surrounded on two sides by the river, and is 12 feet below the level of the embankments. Should the huge ridge give way here the loss of life and property will be frightful, and will rival the Johnstown disaster. The men along the levees are exhausted by long vigil, and many of them have not tasted food for 4 hours, and is almost unknown. sleep The latest news from the break on the Mississippi front reports the break near Australia 3,000 feet wide; break at Mound Landing 1,000 feet wide; break at Deerfield, on Lake Lee, nearly 2,000 feet wide. There are only three breaks on the Mis- sissipp! front, instead of four, as reported this morning. The mistake arose from two separate reports being sent out of Mound Landing breaks, one from Mound to points South and one from Stopp’s Landing to ‘ Fallen—Cairo, 0.2; Arkansas City, 0.2. 4 They are above the danger line and rising us ala Crosse, 0.1; Vicksburg, 8&8; Helena, A ark 8.6)" New" Orieaiis, 0.9. | ~~ hey are above the danger line and fall- | ing at Cairo, 11.8; Arkansas City, 9.7.

Henry Rosinsky Stabs Frank Phoenix in the Abdomen, Severely Wounding Him. Henry Rosinsky, a young man well known in society, and a leader in Jewish circles, is im the Four Courts holdover awaitine the result of-injuries he inflicted upon Frank B. Phoenix, an architect, Monday night. There is much mystery surrounding the affair, and all persons concerned seemed anxious to suppress the facts; but the police took a hand in the matter Tuesday morning and Rosinsky was compelled to leave a comfortable bed at 4422 Lindell boulevard and occupy temporary quarters in a cell, At noon Tuesday after much search the | police finally located the wounded man, and ‘he agreed to prosecute should he recover; if not the authorities will of course do so. Rosinsky ‘s the son by the first marriage of Mrs. R. Jacoby, 4422 Lindell boulevard, and a step-brother to Dr. Sig. Jacoby, who lives at the same address. These names do not appear in the general directory, but they adorn the. pages of the blue book. / Rosinsky, who is-about 26, dabbles in real estate, and has an office in the Union Trust Building, which he visits once in a while. He does not have to work, because he is worth an odd hundred thousand in his own name and his mother has quadruple that sum, and one of the finest residences on the aforementioned boulevard. The cutting affray referred to occurred in Leischman’s saloon, 919 Olive street, Mon- day night at 11 o’clock. The stories told by the principals in the affair are unique, Said Mr. Rosinsky: “I was so drunk last night that I was dead to the world. I had a mixture in me that would knock any one out. I remember being in an ive street saloon with some friends. We had been singing and began-to argue. I was gesticu- lating vehemently, if I remember rightly, and had an ink eraser in my hand. Sud- denly there was a great commotion. I was Nicholas Monday night. i not tell how ' answer | | ! hustled out of the saloon and into a cab, vised me to scoot home. remember is the entrance of a policeman into my room this morning.’”’ Said Mr. Phoenix, as he lay upon a bed in room 14, St. Nicholas Hotel: ‘“‘There was a crowd of us drinking. I knew some of the men, and some I did not. All of a sud- den one of the strangers ran up and stabbed me. I fell to the floor, and Frank Mc- Cartney had me carried here.” Mr. Phoenix is seriously, though not necessarily fatally wounded. The ink eraser was buried the length of the steel in the left side of the abdomen. He was bleed- ing profusely when taken to the St. Dr. Frank of 918 Pine street attended him, but said he could the patient would fare until Tuesday afternoon. The proprietors of the St. Nicholas did their utmost Tuesday morning to suppress all facts. BWBverybody who called on the case was told that no such man as Frank Phoenix was in the house, and that they had not heard of any cutting affray. This was even given Dr. Jacoby, who visited the swell hostelry at 9 o’clock in order to offer his services to the wounded man and hee Mr. Phoenix not to prosecute. A Post-Dispatch reporter was given the same answer by the clerk repeatedly. Finally Mr. Phoenix was seen in room 14. He is an architect, says his home is in Chicago, and that he was associated with Contractor McCartney in work on the Cen. tury Building. He suffered great pain Tues- |} day morning. To Sergeant McNamee, who called at 11 o’clock, Phoenix said he would prosecute the case against Rosinsky as soon as he could appear in court. Mrs. Jacoby is much agitated over the incident. “Tt was all due to liquor,” she said to a Post-Dispatch reporter Tuesday morning. “T have warned Henry time and again to ‘stay away from saloons.” Mrs. Jacoby sent several] emissaries to the St. Nicholas Tuesday morning with offers that she would pay all expenses incurred on Mr. Phoenix if he would spare her son. She left her home at 4422 Lindell boulevard at 10 o’clock and went to the house of her daughter at 3812 Olive street in order to ‘be further down-town.

te EE a Cuesday-—St, Tous +) ae - & , . Hor y % ho AFFCE SEEMS BENT ON WAR, FIGHT ON THE TURKISH SIDE OF MACEDONIA’S FRONTIER. SITUATION VERY CRITICAL. It Is Believed the Greeks Greatly Un- derestimate the Strength of the Turkish Forces. . CONSTANTINOPLE, March 39.—If the reports just received here from the Turkish headquarters at Flassona are correct, fight- ing has already occurred on the Turkish side of the frontier of Macedonia. It is said that the Greek leader, Alexis Taki, a brother of the famous chieftain of that name, crossed the frontier into Mace- donia on Sunday last, accompanied’ by about twenty-five of his followers. Near Grevena, the Greeks met and engaged an advance post of Turkish troops, commanded by a German officer. In the fighting which followed the Turks lost twelve men killed and had 20 wound- ed, including the German officer. The loss of the insurgents is not known. The lat- ter subsequently returned across the bor- der into Greek territory. The situation is about as critical as it can be, and it is difficult to see how war be- tween Greece and Turkey can be averted, Strong efforts in that direction are still being made, but it is rumored in diplomatic circles here that King George has sent a message to the Czar, saying that it is im- Possible for Greece to yield to the powers regarding Crete, and that it is equally fin- possible to recall the Greek troops from Thessaly in view of the excited condition of the public mind, It is believed that even the annexation of Crete would fail to sat- fgfy the Greeks. They are so imbued with the war fever that nothing short of seVere blood-letting will cure them. The Greeks, it is further believed, greatly underestimate the strength of the Turkish forces in Macedonia and Epirus. Edhem Pasha, the Turkish commander-in-chief, now has at his disposal about 150,000 fight- ing men and 300 Krupp guns. He also has an ample supply of ammunition, a fair commissary, and his médical staff and hos- pital corps are in satisfactory condition. All the strategic points on the frontier are occupied, defended by newly thrown up earthworks and other defenses, and the supplied with powerful batteries of artil- lery, To attack this line of defense it is un- derstood the Greeks cannot muster more than 6,000 men, mostly irregulars, al- though some estimates here have it that the Greeks may be able to muster 80,000 men in all, counting the hastily armed peasantry and the rew recruits and rough reserves which they have been pushing to-° wards the frontier for a month past. This force is known to be weak in cavalry and especially so in artillery, in which arms the Turks are overwhelmingly strong. It is true that the Greeks are animated by a warlike spirit and a degree of enthusiasm rarely before witnessed, but warlike enthu- eiasm cannot prevail against big battal- lions and heavy and numerous batteries and artillery. Thus it is that the Turkish au- thorities are calmly awaiting the outbreak of war, if war is to come, confident that every step possible has been taken to meet the emergency. CANEA, March 30.—A mixed detachment of’ French, Italians, Russians and Turks. under command of a French captain, has occupied the fortress of Butsunaria, which protects the spring supplying Canea with water, the insurgents having attempted to cut off the water supply. In order to attain the security of the oc- cupied towns, the admirals have tele- Sraphed their respective governments to @end an additional 600 men each. They have decided to occupy Akrotiri, LARISSA, March 30.—Crown Prince Con- Stantin, commander-in-chief of the Greek ermy in Thessaly, his wife, the Princess Sophia; Prince Nicholas of Greece and the Princess Marie of Greece arrived here. The whole garrison was under arms to re- ceive the Crown Prince and his party. The streets were thronged with people and gaily decorated with flags, the windows were filled with spectators and many ladies threw flowers in the path of the Princes. The Crown Prince was welcomed by the superior military and civil authorities and later Prince Constantin, amid the enthusi- @stic acclamation of the crowds present, reviewed the troops, “which were drawn Up at the railroad station, while the Prin- cesses proceeded to the Cathedral. Then they went to the palace, in front of which two batteries of artillery and a squadron of infantry were stationed. , LONDON, March 90.—In the House of Commons last night there was spirited de- bate on the Cretan policy of the govern- ment.

MOODY'S MEBTINGS Phenomenal Attendance of People at Chicago to Hear the World- Famous Evangelist. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, March 30.—Once upon a time Dwight L. Moody worked as a clerk in a Chicago shoe store at a stipend of $10 per week. This morning the celebrated evan- gelist inaugurated a four days’ revival at the Auditorium, the daily expense attend- ing which will be equal to his salary for an entire year in the olden time. Admis- sion to the inaugural meeting this morning was by ticket, but twice as many people as the great structure would hold besieged the doors. The great chorus of 900 voices was in itself an attraction, aside from the eloquence and inspiration. of the wonderful evangelist. Mr. Moody was assisted by Dr. Archibald Brown of the Tabernacle in the East nd of London, and the friend and co- worker of the late Charles Spurgeon, There are to be two revival meetings daily—one at 10 in the morning and the other at 2 in the afternoon, Mr. Moody having set down his foot on night services. The revivals are expected to give a boom to the evangelistic work of the regular denominations,’ and which of late has been falling into a’ condition of in- nocuous desuetude. CAPT. REED ARRESTED.

Victory for the Cherokee Strip Live Stock Association. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JBFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 30.—Court en banc met this morning and handed down the following opinions: Cherokee Strip Live Stock Association, respondents, vs. Cass Land and Cattle Co., appellants. The decision was rendered in favor of the Cherokee Live Stock Asso- ciation, plaintiffs. The plaintiffs had a lease to a strip of land in the Cherokee Nation, which they had been using for cattle grazing, when President Harrison opened that strip of land to the public and declared the plaintiffs’ lease to the property null and void. The laintiffs then refused to pay the rent to vefendant from whom they had leased the land. The lower court rendered a decision in favor of the plaintiff, which is sustained by the Supreme Court. The motion of Oglesby vs. Missouri Pacific Co., for rehearing, was sustained. Court adjourned to Apr] 3, 1897. HORSE-BREEDERS’ BILL. Argument for and Against It Before Gov. Stephens. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 30.—Gov. Stephens heard the opening of the argu- ments on the horse breeders’ bill at 11:30 this morning. It is thought the arguments will consume the greater part of the day and that the Governor will take action on the bill to-morrow. The Governor has taken legal advice on the bill from Assistant Attorney-General Jeffries, and it is sur- mised that he will judge the merits of the bill from a legal standpoint instead of a moral one. The bill is represented on both sides. A) Spink, P. J. Carmody and ‘Red’ Galvin represent the poo! rooms. The horse breed- ers are represented by Moses Rumsey, Sam B. Cook, Dey Clark, Valle Reyburn and Robert Kern. Mr. Carmody has filed an excellent legal! opinion written by Judge Chester H. Krum. e also has a list of names of store-keepers and business men on Olive street in the vicinity of the Olive street pool room deny- ing the charge that the pool room annoys them.

They held the majority strictly to the issue of protection to the farmers and demon- strated by the figures that the agricul- tural schedule, while ostensibly put forth in the interest of the farmers, was really for the benefit of a few industries which demanded protection, so that the prices of the manufactured products may be kept up to the consumer. 4 So warm grew the debate and so clearly was the Democratic contention made that Mr. Hepburn of Iowa, a stanch Republican, who represents a big agricultural district, vigorously supported the Democratic de- mand for free hides: Mr. Hepburn created a sensation by his denunciation of the ef- forts of New York, New England and Penn- sylvania Republicans to stifle the feeling in the West and South for free hides. He in- sisted that if that sentiment was not stifled by the dictum of the committee, it would prevail When the vote on the amendment of Mr. McRae of Arkansas, giving thirty minutes additional débate to the schedule, was taken it resulted 105 for ,and 122 against. Six Re- publicans broke away from the Republican rule apd voted with the Democrats. Tellers were then demanded. This resulted'in 111 for and 126 against. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3,—The House to-day had a warm discussion over the subject of free hides. The Texas mem- bers, Bell (Pop.) of Colorado, and Hepburn (Rep.) of Iowa, all urging duty on hides for the benefit of. cattle raising and attacking the bill on this point as made up for the benefit of Eastern manufacturers. No ac- tion resulted, Steel strings for musical in- struments were made dutiable at 4 per cent and bolting cloth for milling purposes at 2 per cent. THE SENATE. —_ Foraker’s Bill to Allow Pooling by Railroads. WASHINGTON, D.

Alexander M, Thackara of Pennsylvania, to be Gonsul of the United States at Havre, France. Assistant Surgeon James H. Oakley of Illinois to be a Passed Assistant Surgeon in Marine Hospitals. Mr. Pa.mer was public printer under the Harrison administration and made such a good record that he was indorsed for the position not only by the State delegation but by many Senators and other public men.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. VICKSBURG, Miss., March 30.—The high water record at this point since 1862 was broken this morning. The guage reads 49.3. A third crevasse ig reported in the Missis- sippi, seven miles above Arkansas City. Its waters, added to those of other crevasses, will complete the inundation of the Lower Mississippi delta, A -preak is reported at Gaines’ Landing, Ark., but is not verified as yet. The Louisiana levees are holding, but Lake Providence reports the water running over Pilcher’s Point Jevee last night for two miles, _—-— MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 30.—A special dispatch to a cotton firm in this city from Capt. Mark Cheek of the steamer Kate Adams, reports a break in the levee on the Arkansas side at Laconia Circle. Laconia Circle is about 1 miles below Memphis, and the levee at that point protects some of the best plantations in the State. ARKANSAS CITY, Ark., March 30.—It has so far been impossible to revet the ends of the break in the Amos Bayou ex- tension levee. The soil is of such a loose, | sandy character’ that the revetments at- tempted so far have not held. The break is tweive miles fromthe nearest point on the river, and sacks and other materials are ot to the break with the greatest difficulty. he break serves as an outlet for the water coming through the breaks below Helena. That water pourin into White River Sweeps down through the cut-off into the Arkansas River, thence past the foot of the Government levee until ¢t strikes the Cy- press Creek and Amos Bayou levees at al- most right angles, when, if these levees hold, it is deflected into the Mississippi River again, coming out at mouth of & - press Creek. The water from this break is filling the lowlands back of Arkansas City rapidly, and fears are entertained that the town will be overflowed from it in another week. How much damage will occur to Chicot County and to Louisiana from this break is hard to estimate. It depends on how long the river remains at its present Stage or higher.. A fall of two feet would stop the greater part of the inflow. MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 30.—A special to the Commercial-Appeal from Gunnison, Miss., says: The levee broke at Sledge plantation, near Concordia Landing, three miles north of Gunnison. The crevasse is about 300 feet wide, and the levee, being made of sand, will cave and cut very fast. The people are wild with excitement and no effort is being made to stop the crevasse. It is expected that the crevasse will cut to a width of 500 feet. No uneasiness was felt about this levee, as there was nothing to indicate a weakness except a seep, whieh did not seem to be dangerous. Water is pouring through the break at a terrible velocity. carrying houses, trees and everything in its path. “There is some uneasiness ahout: the safety of the people on the Sledge plantation, but up to this hour no lives are reported lost, THE YAZOO DELTA. THE RIVER IS FALLING AT NEAR- LY EVERY POINT. NO DANGER NEAR ST. LOUIS, The Weather Bureau Predicts: That Kansas City Will Get a Severe Windstorm. Dr. Frankenfield expects the present warm wave to end Tuesday night in a thunderstorm, and the temperature to fall slightly Wednesday. Monday night he received a dispatch from Washington, D. C., stating that severe thunderstorms would visit this section Tuesday. Later observations make the tele- gram applicable to Kansas only. The storm due in St. Louls will not be of more than ordinary force. Showers are also predicted for Weenestey, A center of marked depression overlies Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas, Snow is reported from that section, Wyom- ing and Montana. The low pressure extends throughout the entire Northwest, and gen- eral rains and snows have occurred in all sections except the Lake Region and the Atlantic States. All over this territory the temperature has risen steadily. The thunderstorms coming from the West will be over Missouri, Illinois Ke tee Western Indiana, to be followed Wednesday by cooler weather, The Mississippi is falling wowy, except at St. Pau] and in Louisiana. At 8St. Louis it lost the two-tenths of a foot gain of Sunday night, and at noon Tuesday registered 23 feet. It is expected to remain nearly sta- tionary at this int for the next three or four days. At Keokuk, where it threatened the danger line Monday, it fel] to 12.2 feet. The Des Moines is also going down. A rise of two feet is necessary damage can result. There was a five-tenths fall at Burlington, Iowa, but it is feared if the warm weather continues and melts the snow and ice de- struction will follow. At Hannibal, Mo., the water is three feet below the danger line and no apprehension is felt. The levees are said to be in excel- lent condition, but there is considerable water inside, caused by rain and seepage. Families occupying islands and lowlands have moved to higher ground. THEATER COMBINES. Rumor That They Are Subject to Pros- ecution Under the Missouri Anti-Trust Law. fore Special. to tne Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 30.—The courts may s00n be called upon to decide whether the theatrical business is a branch of com- merce, and the organizing of dra- matic and operatic attractions, the conduct of theaters and contracts between com- panies and theaters and saté of seats are declared a branch of commerce, the fa- mous “Hayman-Frohman Combine” will not only fall to pieces but some of the greatest managers of America will be sub- ject to fing and imprisonment. Already the possibilities of imminent war between the “‘Hayman-Frohman combine” and “the stars’’ ‘have become so serious that the com- bine may have to drop Kansas City from its list or go to the expense of leaving all five theaters in that city and defending themselves there from the prosecution un- der the anti-trust laws of Missouri. If con- victed under the Missouri law Manager M. Hudson of the Coates Opera House, Kansas City, is liable, under chapter 12 on pools and trusts, statutes of Missouri, to a fine of from to $5,000, and one year in the county jail.

GREENVILLE, Miss., March 30.—The| Yazoo, Mississippi, Delta is formed by a line | of hills which commence just south. of | Memphis on the bank of the Mississippi River and run thence southeasterly to Greenwood, Miss., whence they take a south- westerly course,intersecting the bank of the Mississippi River at Vicksburg. This line of hills connecting with the river forms a figure exactly in the shape of the Greek | letter “Delta,’”’ whence the name of this valley. The Delta is composed of the counties of Quitman, Coahoma, Bolivar, Sunflower, Washington, Sharkey and Issa- quena and parts of Tunica, Tallahatchie, Leflore, Holmes, Yazoo and Warren coun- ties. The valley thus formed is one of the most fertile in the world. It is 250 miles in length, with an average breadth of 75 miles. It embraces millions of acres of land. The portion of this region subject to overfiow | all the country lying south of Australia, | in Bolivar County, eastward to the Yazoo | River, or about two-thirds of the entire | valley. The population of the Delta is about 200,000 people.

ARKANSAS SETTLEMENT. Speaker Reed to Be Urged to Let the Bill Pass. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., March %3.—The members of the Arkansas delegation in the House will endeavor to secure from Speak- er Reed a special rule to permit the passage of the bill providing for the compromise between the Government and the State of Arkansas. The importance of the measure will be ur@ed on the Speaker as an induce- ment to secure the*special rule. CURRENCY COMMISSION. Resolution Providing for One Intro- duced in the House. WASHINGTON, Marth 30. — Representa- tive Heitwole of Minnesota has introduced a resolution for a banking and currency commission which is in line with the recom. House passed the Senate emergency loan bill, empowering the Governor, Auditor and | Treasurer to borrow $250,000 on account of the deficit in State funds. The bill as assed does not restrict the borrowing oard to the present emergency, and for this reason the Democrats, with the excep- tion of Barnes, Gov, Tanner's son-in-law, Morris, Schwab and Alschuler, opposed it. As provided by the measure, the borrowing board may continue to secure the loan of money indefinitely so long as not more than $250,000 is outstanding at once. Democrats knocked out the emergency clause, but the bill passed by a vote of 8] ayes to 47 nays. Best Line to Florida.

THE FIGHT HAS ONLY COMMENCED. SOME HOSPITALS BOLT THE MED. ICAL SOCIETY’S DICTUM. DR. G. F. HULBERT’S POSITION. He Says the Woman’s Hospital Will Not Give Up Its Present Plan of Operations. —- =, The efforts of the Medical Society to knock the spots out of the 30 cent hospital ticket associations have only partially suc- ceeded, even in so far as the society’s own members are concerned. What effect, if any, they will have on the ultimate status of the associations remains to be seen, as the fight has not developed far enough yet for any conclusions to be drawn. Saturday night a committee of the so- ciety hopped on to the innovation with both feet, convicted those hospitals with having dealings with the associations, and demand- ed that they quit it or else those doctors connected with the guilty institutions would have to get out of the society. This report was adopted without a dissenting voice. The three hospitals upon whose heads this censure fell were the Woman’s Medi- cal College and Hospital, Sixteenth and Pine Streets; the Merchants’ and Manufactur- ers’ Hospital, Ninth street and Chouteau avenue, and the St. Louis Baptist Hospital, Garrison and Franklin avenues. Of these the Baptist Hospital bows tothe will’ of the medical society, and the physicians in the staff of the Merchants’ and Manufac- turers’ appear to do so, but the Woman's Hospital rears squarely back on its dig- nity and refuses to budge an inch. Judging from the remarks of Dr. Geo F’. Hulbert, the president, they are ready for a show-down at any time, but they are not looking for trouble. Dr. Hulbert said Tuesday morning that they would simply ignore the action of the medical society, a oe then proceeded to give his reasons or it. “The report of the committee,”’ he ex- plained, ‘“‘was so manifestly unfair, unjust and inaccurate—a fulmination of ignorance and prejudice—that we shall pay no atten- tion to it. What the motive was behind the attack upon us I do not know, but there certainly was bias shown in the findings. Other hospitals which have been guilty of receiving patients on the contract basis were exonerated while we were attacked. a want to deny positively that the Woman's Hospital had anything to do with these 50-cent hospital associations where the middlemen have a chance to get the money that it Is alleged should come to practitioners. “In June, 189%, the Woman's Hospital mapped out a plan for a Woman's os- pital auxiliary. Its management was placed in the hands of a large number of the most prominent ladies in st. Louis and they completed the organization. They are now in charge of it. “The object of the auxiliary is philan- thropic and not charitable. It aims to put at the disposal of working women means for being cared for when requiring atten- tion for mental or physical disability. “We have three classes of members. Women making under $30 a month are taxed 50 cents a month; between $30 and $40, 75 cents; between $40 and $50, $1. Those making more than $8 are not admissible. “The need of this kind of an association— one which would make those working wom- en independent—has been testified to by al- most ail of the leading business houses in the city. The indorsements were obtained in each case after a careful investigation by the firms. ‘The auxiliary is different from the other ticket associations in several respectr. First,«it admits a women breadwinhiers earning $50 or less. It is placed in the hands of ladies prompted by no self interest. It is not run for the profit of the memberr, and is in no sense a money making scheme. After a six months’ existence its member- ship is but fifty. This shows how careful the discrimination has been. “The field is perfectly legitimate. The institution has the right to exercise the principles of philanthropy, and will con- tinue to do so. If the medical society thinks it can afford to fulminate against such work-it is welcome to do it. “I am opposed to the © cent hospital ticket associations as they are now being run. .They will have their work to perform in the future, but more discrimination should be used. Only those should be ad- mitted to membership who cannot afford medical treatment unless in this manner.” “What will you do if the medical society tries to force you to resign one place or the other?’ “I do not care to discuss that now. It would be like waving a red flag before a bull. I don’t believe In crossing a bridge until I come to it, but you can say that Il have determined just what I shail do.” The Woman's Hospital has no regular staff of physicians. When Dr. C. C. Morris of the Baptist Hospital was seen he was ina very equable frame of mind. “We shall simply sever our contract with the hospital association,”” he said. “We took their patients and were paid Yoo Drors TEPLATERTET Pat AD Titi ta BET Pal iba bert ai Chen — SS Se 22 = SES = esate SS ———— ~——— - = —————+- — nee Wa AVegetable ation for As- similating the Food een, ting the Stomachs and Bowels of ’ INFANTS ( HILDRKEN Promotes Digestion, Cheerful- ness and tains neither n,Mo nor Mineral. oT NARCOTIC.

Thompson, President'of the Meschants and Manufacturers’ Hospita could not be seen. As all of the medica staff of this hospital had resigned on ac- count of the itation of this question prior to Saturday night's meeting, it was desired to determine what the institution would do for doctors in the future. Dr. Buhman, one of the staff not a mem- ber of the medical society, explained that the wholesale resignations would make n*% difference. The same physicians, he said, could be called In from time to time, as their serivces were needed and id regular fees. To this, he said, the medical society could not object, and he expected that this would be done. All of which goes to show that the fight has only commenced. TOY COMPANY FAILS.

When Dr. Boyd wrote in January that the hope for civic reform in St. Louis lay with the regular Democratic party, he simply gave expression to an opinion that was shared by every honest and in- tellicent citizen acquainted with political conditions. It was as obvious then as it Is now that Boss Filley’s control of the Republican party machinery was absolute and un- shaken, and that Ziegenhein was his choice for Mayor. Under these circum- stances, Dr. Boyd and thousands of in- telligent Republicans who knew what Filley and Ziegenhein stood for in city politics felt that the great opportunity —in fact, the only opportunity—for elect- ing city officials in sympathy with civic reform was through the action of the Democratic party. Dr. Boyd was acting the part of a genuine reformer when he gave encour- agemeht to the Democratic leaders to confront Filley hoodlumism with a Democratic ticket such as reformers and independent voters could support. If he had done otherwise, he would have demonstrated that he was simply an idealist, without knowledge of the meth- ods through which practical reforms must be brought about in politics. ee Pahang Saat PR ane M’KINLEY AND WOLCOTT. Mr. McKinley wants Senator Wolcott to go back to Europe on another bimetal- lic mission. ’ Nobody in this country has any objec- tion to Senator Wolcott going back to Europe. But Americans have a right to object to a repetition of Senator Wol- cott’s recent performances, if he is to be understood as in any way representing the views of his countrymen as to the holding of another international mone- tary conference. If we are proposing to take the ini- tiative for the holding of such a confer- ence, Senator Chandler's resolution af- fords the best means of doing it. That resolution places the administration in @ position to take the necessary official action. If Mr. McKinley is desirous of Such action, or is willing to assume re- Sponsibility in the matter, he can easily take the adoption of the Chandler res- olution possible. If not, let him drop the role of false pretense designed to deceive the people im general and to help Senator Wolcott in deceiving the people of Colorado in particular. ——S”~—s—SCS~«S —_ — SHE AUTOCRAT OF THE HOUSE. "IT am the State,” said Louls XIV. of France. “I am the House,” says Mr. Reed of Maine. The Bourbon Louis failed to make good his claim of absolut- ism, but the Republican Reed knows not failure. He is imperialism personified. Johnson of Indiana is a Republican _€@nd so are the majority of the House members. So, too, is Reed. But there @re no party lines in an absolute monarchy. While the House was in committee of the whole Monday afternoon Johnson of Indiana insisted on the regular order. Sherman of New York, Chairman pro tem., ordered him to sit down, Johnson refused. “I shall call the Speaker,” said the Chairman, ignoring the Sergeant-at- Arms, the mace, and all the other. ac- Cessories and paraphernalia with which parliamentary bodies provide presiding Officers for the assertion of authority and the enforcement of rules. Perhaps the Chairman thought that none or all of these things could overawe Johnson, ‘who is a man of spirit. Or, what is more likely, the image of the House Colossus towered up in his perturbed mind as the Only incarnation of force equal to the emergency. At any rate he said: “I shall call the Speaker.” And thereat Johnson trembled at the knees and went down, as did Mr. Corbett from the left-hand heart blow of Mr, Fitzsimmons, What feelings raged within his manly breast we may never know, but we may conclude, from the evidence at hand, that he reached the conclusion that he was being biuffed. whose after a moment of ghastly white- ¥ — trom the Speaker's room and rhoved to the throne of the Czar. . Johnson of Indiana went down again. The official gong ticked on and on, More than ten seconds elapsed. Johnsor: of In- diana was knocked out, We are of a divided. opinion as to whether Johnson of Indiana, or Sherman of New York, cut the least creditable figure in this performance. * ogame a en 2 AT THE PARTING OF THE WAYS. Mr. Meriwether is now at the parting of the ways. He must decide whether or not he will remain in the Democratic party, whose candidate for Mayor he aspired to be, or whether he will go into political exile as the leader of a bolt. In determining which course he will take, there are certain facts which he should carefully consider in their bear- ing not only upon the present contest but upon his whole future. Mr. Meriwether began his campaign by declaring himself a candidate for the regular Democratic nomination for Mayor. He put up delegations to be voted for at the regular Democratic | |They have done so well in prolonging the primaries and solicited the support of the party voters. He has never claimed and could not claim that the Meriwether delegates elected at those primaries con- stituted a majority of the total number. Still offering himself as a candidate for the Democratic nomination. for Mayor, he entered the Democratic convention. He claims that the proceedings of that convention were irregular, and there is |and Chicago has had an exceedingly sad But | experience since the business depression no doubt that they were irregular. if the proceedings of the Harrison con- tingent were irregular, those of the Meri- wether-Butler-Noonan contingent were still more so. The temporary chairman named by Mr. Devoy had at least “‘the color of right.” The alleged election of Mr. Bond as temporary chairman had not the least color or shadow of regular- ity behind it. It was as absolutely void as if he had been chosen by the shouting mob in the streets. Mr. Meriwether then appealed to the Board of Election Commissioners, still claiming to be recognized as the nominee of the regular Democratic party. The Board of Election Commissioners, after a full hearing, decided against him, and could not have done otherwise on the evidence submitted, without a gross vio- lation of duty. Mr. Meriwether then appealed to the courts—the final arbiter in disputes of this kind. The court to which he ap- pealed decided against him and sustained the action of the Board of Election Com- missioners. Under these circumstances, if Mr. Meri- wether persists in running, he de- liberately goes outside the Democratic party and heads a bolters’ movement, and his ticket is a bolters’ ticket. He knows what this means in politics. the Democratic party for recognition or support for any office, elective or ap- pointive. It means the destruction of a career which promises usefulness and distinction if he draws back now from the fatal blunder to which bad advisers are urging him on. -_———O OO OOS A CURRENCY “REFORM.”’ What Congressman Walker, the Chair-, man of “the House 7 Banking and Currency Committee, is proposing, in the two bills he has just introduced in the House, is to authorize National Banks to issue their notes &s money, without the Government as security for their redemp- tion. In other words Congressman Walker proposes that National Banks shall have power to issue money without ' gill postoffice appointment may be highly depositing any Government bonds with the United States Treasurer. He proposes to make the banks security for their own circulation. The reserve of any bank is to be equal to its circulation, is to be in specie, and at least one-half of it in gold. The conferring of the power on banks to issue money on their own security was found, in the case of the State Banks of ante-bellum days, to be a very dangerous plan. But doubtess there are scores of Mr. Walker’s Massachusetts constituents loaded up with money they would like to invest in such enterprises. While Mr. Walker does not propose to create a public debt as a basis of bank circulation, he proposes to create such a debt for retiring the greenbacks, treas- ury notes and silver certificates in order to make room for the addaitfonal bank notes. His bill proposes to issue $750,- 000,000 in Government bonds to bear*2%& per cent interest to raise money for the cancellation of all the paper notes for which the Government is now fre- sponsible, and to substitute for them other notes for which private banking corporations are to become responsible. In other words, Mr. Walker is proposing that the people shall pay a billion dolfirs or more in principal and interest for the privilege of swapping good money with perfect security for money with se- curity of a very doubtful character. It is an evidence of how the moneyed interests estimate public intelligence that the Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee should dare intro- duce a@ measure so subversive of every principle of good finance and so bold in sacrificing public rights and interests to private greed. Vv ee The delay of the new President, who is sacrificing everything to his high tariff fad, has made his office-seeking friends very impatient. The following advertise- ment appears in the Washington Post: GENTLEMEN WISHING TO RETIRE from business will deed handsome new four-story residence, fifteen rooms, two baths, etc., hardwood finishing, situated finest select northwest section, to any one securing him office, home or abroad, pay- ing not leas than $2,500 per year; am life- long Republican, with good credentials.

HAVE A FIELD DAY. ~ pinst AFFAIR ‘OF THE SORT. a ‘Entire Birength of the Garrison to Par- *. theipate, and the Officers Will Bie Be in Charge. Bnough mean things have been said about Wncle Sam’s army to fill a book. One of the favorite themes of the critics who like to compare the garrison life of the boys in blue to the existence in barracks of Tommy Atkins or of the faithful. hussars of -the German Emperor has been the absence of social intercourse among the men. It has been claimed that the monotony of the life of a private at one of the United States ts, and the deplorable lack of recrea- to be found, outside of loafing around the sutier’s store, are the chief reasons for such a great number of desertions. In- deed, the quarrels of the men—quarrels which sometimes result in murder bein done—and the assortment of ‘scandals, which break out every now and then at all the posts, have been ascribed directly to the dreary existence of the average sol- dier, an existence little better than solitary confinement. en again it has been strongly claimed, and with no little weight in the reas€ning, at not enough attention was paid to the on sen culture of the men. All arguments ut forward in favor of the good of athiet training have been advanced with dou force when the matter was consid- in connection with the goldiery.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an un- healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also con- vincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge s0 often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

He is anxious to get at work at once for his match with Tom Sharkey. “T am going into training in a day or two,” said the Ir ish champion. “T want some visitors, and I shall probably seitle on a place up in Weatchester County.

NEW YORK, March 8.—Jack Everhardt and “Kid” McPartland will box twenty rounds at the Broadway Athletic Club to- night. Both men have fought “Kid” La- vigne and both are credited with standing for twenty-five rounds before the indomita- ble light-weight without being knocked out. Two men with such reputations for game ness are sure to fight well, and it was the Promise of an exceptionally good fight which urged Tom Q’Rourke to make the match. Pverhardt is noted for his ability to stand unishment. McPartland is undoubtedly he best of the local light-weights. His late fight with Lavigne, in which he broke his hand in the third round and fought a defensive battle for twenty-five rounds, stamped him as one of the gamest men in the pugilistic arena. -— record is quite as g as Everhardt’s. ince he became a professional fighter in 1894 he has fought over sixty battles. any two decisions have been against him.

This demahd is best met by telephone service. Under its operation hours are condensed into minutes. The Bell Telephone Company Furnishes and maintains Special Systems adapted to the service required. Among the systems of this company are: ; SPEAKING-TUBE OR HOUSE TELEPHONES. This service is perhaps the most convenient and satisfactory for connecting different stations in the same office or building. The system is so arranged that a person at any station can call anv other statian, over a special line, and establish the desired connection by means of a switch located at each station. No operator required. This system puts every department in the building, no matter how widely separated, in direct intercom- munication.

The advantages of this system are best illustrated in the case of the Union Station Branch Exchange, and the St. Nicholas Hotel, in this city. Police and Fire Alarm Telephone System for Cities and Villages. This system comprises a number of stations located in various parts of a city or town, and connected by copper metallic circuit with police or fire alarm headquarters. Each station consists of a cast-iron lock box, containing a telephone and specially constructed battery transmitter. The alarm is given by either opening the door of the box, or by removing telephone from its hook. microphonic quality of the transmitter renders the voice distinctiy audible when speaking in a low tone. One of the advantages of this system over the telegraph signal system is that a person is not required to send an alarm from the box nearest the fire. A policeman or other key-holder who discovers a fire at a distance may go to the most convenient station and give the location of the fire, thus saving time. The Chief of Police or Marshal, being in communication with the patrol force at all times, is prepared to move: the men to the greatest advantage in emergencies. IN ALL CASES The Company undertakes to furnish the service required, and to that end only the most approved material and apparatus is used in the installation. The plants are regularly inspected by the company’s skilled inspectors, and every precaution taken to avoid interruption in the service. Care is always taken that the system is adapted to the service required. The L TELEPHONE COMPANY CONTRACT DEPARTMENT, ae cumla J ee ee.

MARKLESKE’S TREAT- MENT OF A POOR WOMAN. TOOK OUT HER WINDOW. A Landlord Without Mercy to Be Pros- ecuted for Maltreating His Unfortunate Tenant, Landlord John J. Markleske’s attempt to oust Mrs. Annie Petrowski from her room at 1019 North Twelfth street Monday after- noon by removing the window will bring him before Judge Stevenson Wednesday on a charge of disturbing the peace. When City Attorney Dodge heard* the woman’s story Tuesday he issued the sum- mons. She told an affecting story of Markleske’s persecution and her efforts to earn the money to pay him the $8 rent. Last Tues- day her husband left for the country in search of employment, but has not sent home any money. With the six-months’ old child Mrs. Petrowski has been sorely handi- capped in her endeavors to earn a few pen- nies to buy food. Last week for two days she did not touch a morsel, but neighbors learned of her destitution and sent what could be spared from their meager sup- plies. The landlord came in Monday and demanded either his money or the key to .the small room. The woman pleaded with him for a few weeks’ time until she would be strong enough to go out in search of work. Her appeal seemed to enragé Markleske. She says he cursed her roughly and or- dered his son to remove the window. “If you don’t pay me to-morrow,” he said, ‘‘the door will come off, and then you and the brat can stay here as long as you please.”’ He then left and entered a rear room, occupied by William Anderson—an invalid since Oct. and his wife and three small children. They owe rent for four months and two weeks, but have been tenants for five years. ‘Where's landlord. The sick man started to beg for a little time, but was interrupted by Markleske. “Pay me to-morrow or out go your win- dows and door. 1 am going to get rid of all dead beats.”’ His son Theodore accompanied him, and when the two reached the sidewalk they talked the matter over. The son in a few minutes returned the window to Mrs. Pe- trowski’s apartment, but carried off the shutters. he glass in the lower window was broken, and through the opening the wind and,rain beat all Monday night upon the lonely "woman, who was huddled behind a fireleas stove, her babe wrapped in an old shawl. Tuesday morning, shortly after 7 o’clock, Theodore Markleske returned with the shutters. He replaced them with the warn- ing that more serious measures would be ateotes if the $8 was not forthcoming that ay. When Markleske was seen at his home, 1111 North Eleventh street, he was in a high rage and bitterly denounced his tenant as one devoid of gratitude or honor. He said he would have her and the Andersons put out immediately bY a constable. Fine Horses. A grand special sale of saddlers, drivers, matched teams and speed will be held by Campbell & Nims at National Stock Yards, Illinois, on Wednesday, March 31. This will be a collection of the choicest horses from eight different States, many of them having records of 2:15 and better. All carriage teams will be sold in the afternoon. LOOKING FOR SMALL-POX. Infected Immigrants Said to Be Head- ed for This Country. Chief of ‘Police Harrigan received this telegram Tuesday morning: “BPRINGFIELD, IIL, March ®. “Steamship Southwark arrived in New York March 2%, with small-pox on board.

THE DOUGHTY JAILER TRIES To BOSS THE DISPENSARY. HIS SON HAD A SORE NOSE. Because the City Doctors Would Not Go to Him Butch Made War Medicine. “Butch” Wagner wants to know what's the use of being Jailer of the great city of St. Louis if his orders are not to be obeyed by the Health Department. At 9 o’clock Monday night the telephone bell at the City Dispensary jingled violently. Dr. Johnson answered it. “Hello,” he cried, cheerfully. ‘Hello! Ist das der gesundheitsbureau?”’ “No, this ain’t Gasenhite’s bureau. Who is Gasenhite?”’ “Ach, heliges donnerwetter! Vat the matter mit you ist? Ist das der Dispen- saree?’’ “'Course "tis. What “Dies ist Chailer Courts.” “All right. How you do, Mr. Wagner?” ‘TI am vell,:danke schoen, Herr Dokter, but my poy,my leetle son, T’dore, you know, he falls down and I t’inks he breaks his nase. Come down hier right avay und fix it.”’ ou want?” agner py the Four “But, Mr. Wagner, we can’t come down there. It’s against the rules. We can’t leave the Dispensary.’’ “Vat you say? You won't do it! .Vy-vy- dies ist Chailer Vagner. You versteh nit. I, Chailer Vagner, py the Four Courts, or- der you to come down hier und fix my T’dore’s nose. Und you say you wont. Vy, mein Gott in Himmel, you must be crazy alretty.”’ “Sorry, Mr. Wagner. I'd like to accom- modate you, but rules ts rules. I'll send an ambulance down and have the boy brought up here and——’”’ “Ampulance! My poy, my little T’dore, ride in a ampulance like a commion grimi- nal. Vy you don’t tell me to send him up in a hoodlum wagon, ain’d it!’’ “It's no disgrace, Mr. Wagner, to ride in an ambulance.’’ “No discrace! It ain’t no discrace for the son of Chailer Vagner to ride in a ampu- lance! Say. don’t stiffs and niggers and oor people ride in ampulances? Youn can eep your tammed ampulance and tammed!” Half an hour later the bell rang again. There was another Wagnerian solo. “Vell, vy you don’t come down py the Four Courts und fix my T’dore’s nase?” he shouted. “I told you why," Dr. Johnson replied, “Und you ain’t comin’?”’ “No, air.”’ “All right. You refuse to opey me. I'll show you, you young Smart Aleck Saw- bones, I haf my son-in-law here py me for a witness to them disloyal words. IT'll show how you'll defy Chailer Butch Wag- ner. Another half hour passed. Then there was a commotion in the corridor, heavy foot-falls and respiratory explosions, The door of the a room was opened. Jailer Wagner staggered in carrying little T’dore in his arms. Butch sat the boy down. “IT yust vish to find out what you lazy fellers is here for, anyhow,” he shouted. “Is it to fix up peoples what gets hurted or—or—or ain't it? That’s what I want to know. Here's my T’dore, my little Dodo, he falls down a hour ago and breaks his nase und the pain ist so great it almost kill him, und me, his fader, Chailer Vagner, has to see him Suvver pecause you: fellers don’t do your anem right and disopey my orders. apse lieve I'll kick your tam head we He was looking at Dr. Lippe. The doctor walked close up to him and said: “Now look here; if you are going to kick my head off I want you to do it right now while I'm looking at you.” “Ach, vell, I wouldn’t do it in here, I meant on the outside.” “All right, then, if you only do it on the ‘outside’ I don’t care.’’ Dr. Helwig took the boy in the operat- ing room and fixed up his nose. The young- ster yelled some. Butch, sitting in the waiting room, thirty feet away, heard his cries. ‘‘Na, na, Dodo,”’ he crooned consol- ingly throughout the ordeal, notwithstand- ing Dodo was beyond the sound of his voice. There was only a little scratch on the lad’s nose, and it was quickly attended to. Jailer Wagner gathered him up and showered a few more imprecations on the Health Department. “I wouldn’t care so much,” he said, standing in the door, “but I chased my son-in-law, my son, my daughter, and the hired girl oud to hunt for doctors. I think when I gets home I finds five or six doctors there and I vill haf to all of em pay. You yust vait. I get all you good-for-nuddifig fellers fired.”’ STILL A MYSTERY. No Details of Frank: Wyman’s Offense Have Reached His Relatives. No deta‘ls as to the nature of the charge against Frank Wyman, the St. Louis young man who was arrested at Cambridge Satur- day, have reached St. Louis. Thaqugh the young man’s father, Charles H. Wyman, has reached Cambridge he has sent no message which might unravel the ay aed ates Tuesday: “We have not the slightest idea what Frank is accused of.

THE AMERICAN ACTOR SAYS IT HELPS THE PROFESSION. HIS NEW PLAY FOR NEXT YEAR. He Entertains a Novel Plan for Intro- ducing an American Play to Our English Cousins. —————— William H. Crane, an American actor of American plays, is a natural comedian. He desn't try to be funny off the stage, but his jovial good nature cannot be suppressed, albeit there is a serious strain in his com- position. The serious side of Mr. Crane’s nature is the earnestness with which he takes his art. He may laugh and inject funny stories into his discussion of his plays and his success- es, but they are the deepest things fn his heart. “The most satisfying criticism I have had this season,” said he, as a Jap- anese valet adjusted the sandy wig of Elijah Cunningham, “was the Post-Dis- patch’s statement that the work of my com- pany was as good as the Empire Company or John Hare’s organization. I take all that praise to myself. Nowadays a star must do more than create his part. He has to de- velop his support. The first requisite is to secure adequate material. Then comes the rehearsing. The value of rehearsing will be wasted, unless a man is wise enough to discern the weak points of his play and lay greater stress on them. The good points will come naturally to capable actors. “When John He saw ‘A Fool of For- tune’ he was so p) that he came bac] the production to Lendon. change a line or a situation or a member of your company.

Ros- enfeld made a pat remark. ‘Su you have a good play and a good compa and you go over there, what are you going to do about it when they poy you can’t act?’ Now there you are.

When get money enough to waste in bucking their nsular prejudice, I'm going across to try it for the fun of the thing.’ Talking about plays, Mr, Crane doesn’t revel in patriotic buncombe use he likes the American article. “I've play strictly American plays for eight years, he said, “because I find dt I have had adaptations offered me.
