Jacob Hoffman Puts a Big Bu Through Henry Plummer With- out Apparent Cause. East Carondelet is in a high state of ex- citement over an attempted murder. Henry Plummer, a young farmer, living two miles south of East Carondelet, was shot in the breast by Jacob Hoffman, the village blacksmith, and is at St. Mary’s Hos- pital in East St. Louis with a bare possibil- ity of recovery. Hoffman narrowly escaped lynching, and was hurried off to the Belleville jail by the officers for safe-keeping, and to await tne result of Plummer’s wound, According to the statement of Plummer, mace toa Post-Dispatch reporter, the shoot- ing was unprovoked, and the only excuse that can be offered by Hoffman is that he was drunk. ’ Young Plummer went to East Carondelet Friday at noon to get his farm wagon _re- paired and have his mules shod. He went to Hoffman’s shop, as he had always been friendly with Hoffman. He left his wagon and mules at Hoffman’s, with the under- standing that he would call and get them during the afternoon. Piummer went to geveral stores, shonping. and about 8 o’clocK returned to Hoffman's place. As he stepped into the doorway Hoff- man leveled a 44-caliber revolver at him and pulled the trigger. The ball struck Plummer directly over the heart and ploughed its way through his right lung and liver and lodged in a rib in his right side. Plummer | dropped in the doorway, unconscious. Pass. ers-by heard the shot and saw Plummer fall. A physician stanched the flow of ' blood and sent Plummer to the East St. | Louls Hospital on an M. & O, train at ¢ p. m, | Dr. De Haan extracted the ball and says) Plummer is engaged to Miss Mary M ler, a comely daughter of one of his neigh. | | bors, and the nuptials were to be celebrated | | next Wednesday. The young lady became almost hysterical when told of the condi- tion of her betrothed. Plummer is 27 years old and is a quict, law-abiding citizen, well off in a worldly way. He is a giant {mn stature and his vigor- ous constitution may pull him out of the present dangerous emergency. Hoffman is said to be quarrelsome and a dangerous man when in his cups. He is married.

NEW YORK, June 26.—William Hoey, the actor famous as Old Hoss, who broke down at Mt. Clemens and was brought to his home in this city, is suffering from acute paresis, and it is thought that he can live only a few weeks. It is said that he is penniless, though he earned a great deal of money. PATENT SUIT. National Conduit and Cable Company After the Bell Telephone Com- pany for Infringement. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 26.—The first steps in what may become one of the greatest litiga- tions over patents ever known in this coun- try were taken yesterday by the filing and service of papers in the suit brought by the National Conduit and Cable Co. against the Bell Telephone Co. The suit is specifi- cally brought against the New York and New Jersey Telephone Co., and was entered in the United States Circuit Court of the Eastern District by Lexow, Mackellar and Wells of this city, on behalf of the plain- tiffs. According to the claim of the National Conduit and Cable Co., nearly the entire system of telephone wires and cables now used by the Bell Telephone Co. is an in- fringement of its patents. The National Conduit and Cable Co., a lit- tle more than a year ago, brought out the Norwich Insulated Wire Co., and thereby secured the title to certain letters patent of the United States, giving it sole rights in certain improvements in insulating electric conductors, consisting of covering the wires | with spirally-wound and lapping strips of paper composed of pure vegetable fiber. This paper is applied with a water-proof ad- hesive substance, consisting of a thin solu- tion of India rubber. It is said that this paper-covered wire has been almost uni- versally adopted for long distance purposes. There is $16,000,000 worth of this kind of cable now in use In this country. The Bell Telephone Co., it is said, has adopted the paper-covered cable in nearly every city in which its "phones are used, and has itself made the patented cable. The suit that has resulted from this al- leged infringement will, if decided tn favor of the plaintiffs, involve the payment of damages running up to nearly $1,000,000, be- sides placing the National Conduit and Cable Co. in a position to dictate terms in fixing the royalty to be paid for the use of its system. $100,000 BACK PAY.

Holocaust Narrowly Averted by the Restlessness of the Motor- man’s Boy. William F. Turner, a motorman in the employ of the Suburban line, is wondering who the person is fiendish enough to set fire to his house. Turner lives at 61448 Bartmer avenue, with- in a stone's throw of De Hodiamont Sta- tion. There are a couple of blocks of frame houses in that locality, with a street knee deep in mud, water and gullies, and only one fire-plug in a radius of many blocks. At 1:80 o’clock Saturday morning a little son of the motorman, Martin J. Turner, aged 7 years, was awakened from sleep by He sat up in bed and shouted: “Oh, mamma! Mammal! The house {fs on fire.”’ : This is what eaved the lives of the fam- fly. Mrs. Turner caught up the baby and leading Martin by the hand fled, screaming into the street. Just at this moment a knot ef Suburban employes at the power-house, gaw the light and withPatrolman Powers ran to the res- cue.

NAVAL DEMONSTRATION NOTHING ELSE EQUALS IT IN THE WORLD’S HISTORY. LATEST INVENTIONS SHOWN. Only four of Twenty-One Battleships Were in the Review of Ten Years Ago. PORTSMOUTH, England, June 2%.—The most magnificent display of naval strength ever witnessed Occurred off Spithead to-day, the occasion being the grand naval review held in honor of the completion of the six- tieth year of the reign of Queen Victoria. The Prince of Wales, representing Her Majesty, reviewed a fine ficet of foreign wur- ships representing all maritime nations of the world, the proudest, strongest and ewiftest of these craft being the United States armored cruiser Brooklyn, flying the flag of Rear Admiral Miller, and the Helr Apparent also inspected about thirty miles of British warships, in which were 165 fighting ships of different classes, carry- ing about 900 heavy guns, manned by over 88,000 men and of about 550,000 tons In all. Each maritime nation sent an Admiral in his flagship to witness the review. They formed a line abreast of the British battle- ships, where they were favorably placed to compare their own naval architecture with that of other nations. Each nation sent its best available ship, and a magnificent dis- play resulted. - An interesting feature of the British fleet was the training ships, which comprised three of the early tron-clads, a squadron of eruisers which usually winters, with a training crew on board, in the West Indies, or in some other warm latitude, and a fleet of training brigs. which cruise in the neighborhood of the British ports. During the past decade enormous ad- vance has been made both in the number and construction of the ships of the royal navy, and this cannot better be exemplified than by the fact that of the twenty-one bat- tleships reviewed by the Prince of Wales, in behalf of the Queen to-day, four only took part Jn the jubilee ceremony of 1887, whilst of the forty-three cruisers present not one existed in 1887. Needless to say the thirty torpedo boat destroyers are of a class which has only been introduced dur- ing the past five years and which appears to be destined to play a very important part in modern sea warfare, THE SENATE. The Pacific Railroad Resolution Laid Aside to Make Room for the Tariff. ee ee ee ee WASHINGTON, D. C., June %.—Again to- day the acting chaplain of the Senate, Rev. Hugh Johnson, referred in the course of his prayer to the advent of prosperity saying: “We thank Thee for the signs of returning prosperity and that the long and wide- spread period of depression ts passing.” The attendance of Senators was very meager and as the tariff bill was about to be taken up, Mr. Vest called attention to the absence of a quorum. Fifteen minutes were required to secure one. Mr. Harris of Kansas presented the re- port on the Pacific railroads agreed to by the Committee on Pacific Railroads yester- day. He also presented a report giving the views of himself and Senators Morgan and Rawlins, which was not agreed to by other meanbers of the committee. Mr. Morgan of Alabama who concurred in the report, said the situation demanded ,immediate action by the Senate, as the agreement made by the executive branch relative to the sale of the road on foreclos- ure at a minimum price was about to be” consummated. He therefore announced that on Monday next he would ask the Senate to consider the subject. Mr. Morgan also feverely criticized the course of the Govern- ment authorities. Mr..Allison of Iowa, in charge of the tariff bill, said he hoped the Alabama Senator would take no action to delay the pending bill, as it was most desirable to get the tariff bill into conference. .He would therefore compelled to resist taking up any other business unt'l the tariff bill was disposed of.

TEN DAYS IN A RUMSHOP THIS IS ENOUGH FOR THOMPSON B. GRAHAM. HE WANTS TO GET LOOSE. The Aid of the Courts Is Invoked to Bring About a Read- justment. After ten days’ experience in the saloon business, Thompson B. Graham, a plumber by occupation, has invoked the aid of the courts to assist him to get out of the “rum traffic.”’ In the Circuit Court Saturday Graham made application for a receiver to take charge of the saloon of Reber & Graham at 807 Pine street. In his petition the plain- tiff alleges that on June 15 he formed a part- nership with Louis Reber for the purpose of conducting a saloon at 807 Pine street According to the terms of the contract Reber was to have active charge of the gin mill. Graham was not to be connected with the place, but was to hire a man to do his share of the bar tending and to represent him in every way. Now comes the plaintiff with the allega- tion that his partner consumed so much of the stock as 4 frequently render him incom- petent tor the transaction of business, He further alleges that the receipts of the saloon were handled by Reber in an unsat- isfactory manner. Supplemental to these, are other allega- t'ons and in conclusion the plaintiff asks the court to grant relief by the appointment of a receiver. FROM ALL PARTS OF THE UNIVERSE.

WASHINTON, June %.—Senator Petti- grew was overcome in the midst of a violent speech in the Senate at 2:% p.m. He hesi- tated, failed to enunciate his words, and then sat down without eserious agitation, took his seat with his sentence unfinished. Water was brought him, and his friends gathered about. He appeared to revive quickly, and business proceeded He left the Senate soon after. Dr.*Baine, who was summoned to attend Senator Pettigrew, said his illness was caused by a blood clot on the brain, but that there would be no serious results if he should be kept free from excitement. Sena- tor Pettigrew went into the cloak-room, and Senator Deboe, who is a physician, made an examination. He pronounced Senator Pet- tigrew’sa case as quite serious. He said it might be a hemorrhage of the brain, though nothing definite could be said. A physician was sent for to attend the Senator. He could speak only with difficulty, though in reply to questiong said he was not feeling badly, TO STOP THE SALE. Motion in the Fourth Street and Arsenal Railroad Case. The Fourth street and Arsenal s'reet rail- way property may not be sold June 29, ac- cording te programme, In Judge Flitcraft’s court Saturday morn- ing application was made to have the fore- closure decree set aside and the sale post- poned. The application is made by L. M. Rumsey, one of the plaintiffs in the original foreclosure proceedings. The reasons given for asking that the de. cree be set aside are alleged errors and ir- regularities in the court records. It is set forth that the legality of the foreclosure, under such conditions, might be successfully attacked. Judge Flitcraft will probably teke the matter up for disposal Monday.

CITY MARSHAL ERB FEARS HE’LL LOSE HIS PRISONERS. HE. CRITICISES THE POLICE. yi Insufficient Accommodations in the New Quarters of the Second District Police Court. City Marshal Henry Erb, who has charge of the Second District Police Court, has filed a complaint against the police author- ities of the Fourth District. Mr. Erb says the prisoners intended for the court are not properly guarded. This is one of innumerable kicks of the court officers growing out of. the removal of the court from Broadway and Biddle street to its present location over the Fourth District sub-station house at Jef- ferson avenue and Dayton street. When the order of removal went into ef- fect June 1 no accommodatio had been provided for persons in custody and the court proceedings were considerably de- layed by the slow handling of: the prisoners. hose destined for the police court are conveyed to the Fourth District sub-station between 2 and 6 o’clock in the morning and laced in cells on the first floor. At first he prisoners were escorted up-stairs to the court-room by a deputy marshal when their cases were called. This caused so many the south end of the court-room. * This has just been completed and to Marshal Erb and his assistants it is, they say, as unsatisfactory as the old way of bringing the prisoners up one by one. The cell that has been buflt in the new apartment, according to Marshal Erb, is far too small for the purpose intended. Twelve men crowd it, and frequently the docket of the court contains thirty or forty confined cases. The defendants are packed sardine-like in the cel! and the overflow is a ct below in the station. t is in transfering the prisoners from the station to the court room that Marshal Erb complains the police are negligent. Two or three deputies are compeiled io march a gang of the toughest characters in St. Louis past open doors and along a passagewny, tod A step of which tempts the men to break for liberty. A concerted movement of this kind could not but prove success- ful, with the present weak guard. Mr. Efb’s attention was calied to this by the deputies handling the prisoners and he appealed to Sergt. Costello, in charge of the station, for assistance .- ‘‘What do you want me to do, carry them up for you?” the sergean’ is reported to have said. “No, but you could detail two or three of these policemen around here to act as guards for five minutes every morning,” returned Erb. “Well, I won’t do it. I haven't any men to spare for your service,’’ said Costello. “That is the situation,’’ Erb said to a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday. ‘It just happens since we have been up here the docket has kept within respectable bounds, and the personne! of the prisoners has not been 80 bad. Wait until after the Fourth of July; from then on until the very end of the hot season the lowest characters in town will find their way here. Some morn. = transferring them, there is going to be a bold dash for liberty, and when they do get away I will be held responsible for the ar “The police could furnish a guard easily enough. I have acquainted my superior officer with the condition up here, and if a mishap does occur I want a portion of the blame to fall on other shoulders. “This place is entirely too small for the court, and that sromisnt ware roomy cell,’ is crowded to suffocation with fifteen prison- ers.”’ REPLY 10 JAPAN It Will Keep the Orientals Guessing. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 26.—The re- ply of the Secretary of State to the pro- test of the Japanese Government against the annexation of Hawaii has been for- warded to the Japanese Legation here and by them cabled to Tokio. The Legation probably will file a supplemental state- ment upon receiving instructions from the home Government. It is expected that this will take some time, as the note of the State Department is worded in a most careful and diplomatic manner and its meaning is somewhat obscure as to the points raised by the Japanese officials.

The resolution will in the form of an amend- ment to the Constitution, In support of his plan Mr. Crumpacker cites e fact that, under present laws, the President and one House may add territory which wil! cost to maintain more money than it is worth. Mr. Crumpacker is a Republican, but insists that his Constitutional amend- ment ought to be adopted as a safeguard against embarrassing complications in the future. Favor Annexation.

Had she read Friday’s Post-Dispatch, she might have saved herself the trip. As it is, she had her labor for her pains. Mrs. Levi had a clear case. Her hus- band, Jacob, deserted her several months ago, and she said he was living with an- other woman. Jacob’s brother, Leon, was with Mrs. Levi, and was ready to testify to all she said. rs. Levi lives with Leon‘s family at 1122 North Eleventh street. Col. Johnson evidently took Prosecutin Attorney Mulvihill at his word when he sal he would nolle pros all wife abandonment cases. Col. Johnson said there was plenty of evidence, but he declined to issue a war. rant, and advised Mrs. Levi to seek relief by getting a divorce. The fact that she had not the necessary money was her misfor- tune, not her fault. WRECK IN QHIO. B. & O. Engine Dashes Into an Excur- sion Train at the Depot.

WILL RESULT IN A CHURCH ROW. ANDERSON’S FLOCK SPLIT ON MACLIN’S GUILT. eel PREACHER WON'T DISCUSS IT. Father of the Hoy Accused of Stealing While at Worship Says It Is a Conspiracy. From all obtainable information it would appear that the Rev. Elisha Anderson’s jus- tice is tempered “with mercy, according to the efficiency of the Police Department as a collection agency. Mr. Anderson is pastor of 'the Grand Ave- nue Baptist Church, of which J. H. Maclin is a member. Last Sunday night Maclin, who is 19 years old, and lives at 2207 Madi- ‘Son street, sat during the evening service in the same pew with the dominie’s wife. Shortly after leaving the church Mrs. An- derson missed her pocketbook, containing $27. Young Maclin was suspected and was ar- rested Wednesday night and taken to the Fourth District Police Station. He was heid in the holdover until sauna night, when he was released because Col. Dick John- son refused to issue the warrant asked for. The incident has ‘caused a great deal of excitement among members of the church, and both sides have supporters. a Ld ; * ih ee oe ene Oe Gee oy, needa t ; : ‘2 re Le S9 be 5 i? iC ey ‘* aS > raat

Third Annual Championship Games | at Chicago. CHICAGO, June 2%.—Thousands of people went down to the old South Side Base Ball Park to-day for the purpose of witnessing one of the most novel athletic events that has ever taken place in Chicago. It was the third annual championship meet of the Na- tional Association of Railway Cripples, The programme contained entries, for fifty picked athletes, not one of whom has a full set of Hmbs, some being minus one arm or leg, others having no arms or legs at all. The contests commenced at 1 o’clock, the American chamipionship being involved in each instance, and the events included s ort and long-distance runs, heel aad toe walk- ing, hurdle racing, wrestling and co oaaas broad jump and one and two-mile bicycle races. The association was founded in Pittsburg but is now a national affair, with severa thousand members. The sole object is the banding of crippled railroad men and of those who have been hurt in railway acci- dents, with a view to mutual protection and to the obtaining of artificial limbe for the members at a small cost. nterest is centered in the performance of George B. Iliff, who claims the bicycle championship of the world for men with two artificial legs, and also in the feats to be performed by Ed F. Hopkins, an ex-switch- man of the Burlington road, who is minus both legs, but who has made the following records: Half-mile walk, 6m. 10s.; mile walk, 18 m. lls.; 100-yard dash, 17s.; standing broad jump, without weights, feet 6% inches; standing high jump, 19 inches, KENNETH CLUB ROAD RACE.

CIVIL SERVICE FIGURES. A Chicago newspaper, commenting upon the fact that thousands of people are now on the eligible lists of Civil Serv- ice Boards, calls the fact important be- cause it indicates the existence of a great thriftless class who afe idly waiting for Government jobs. The fact is a very important one, but not for the reason assigned. Surely the man foolish and indolent enough to wait for a public office to come to him because his name is on the eligible Nst of a Civil Service Commission is certainly not worth serious consideration as a factor in affairs. Such men constitute no “menace” to anything, and there are but few of them. The great mass of the persons who have passed olvil service ex- aminations are too anxious for employ- ment of any sort to wait for something official to turn up. Their significance is in their number. They constitute a legion, effectually dis- posing of the claim that life tenure in public place is necessary to secure un- broken efficiency of administration. If pass examinations were emall the argu- ment for life tenure could be much bet- ter defended than jt is. So long as more than half of the candidates presenting themselves for examination score the necessary percentage to make themselves eligible, life tenure is proved to be not only unnecessary, but a ridiculous at- tempt to establish an official aristocracy for which the country has no more use than it has desire, The hard times in Chicago may be best understood in the figures showing that in the past five months its consumption of beer has fallen off 175,000 barrels, This condition, furthermore, has come about when all the drinking water there must be boiled to keep it from being more dan- serous than any intoxicating drink. Greater New York will get on the Chi- cago platform, There is no other place for @ Democratic city. The United Democratio Organisation of Brooklyn has given the signal in a most enthusiastic demonstration, “The idea that’ We etd Wawall ée « coaling station is foolish, because ships } going from San Francisco to Japan er the number of persons to successfully . : China would have to go 500 miles out of their way to touch at Hawali,” says Sen- ator Perkins, The schemers whose pock- ets are to be filled by annexation do not, however, mind going 500 miles out of the way for a reason for it. The announcement that Mr. McKinley will at once carry out his policy of pro- tection for Cuban pacificos happens to come when such information will be val- uable to Mr. Hanna in his Ohio cam- paign. The President has all along been fully aware of the murderous pacifico policy of the Spaniards, but until] now he has not been moved to make the slightest protest. — | The “great speed” being made with the new high tariff bill is due to the fact that the Democrats have not resorted to the obstructive tactics practiced by the Re- publicans when the latter were in a mi- nority. The Republicans should have agreed sooner as to the extent and va- riety of this year’s hogging. The extreme costliness of collecting gar- bage as it should be collected, as sug- gested by Col. Butler, should admonish the new administration that economy in municipal government is very necessary. The charter ought not to be broken into merely that money may be wrongly ex- pended, The murderer Williamson, who was twice hanged in Texas yesterday by bungling legal executioners, would have fared better under Judge Lynch. His crime, however, was participation in the deliberate murder of three persons, and there is something of justice in his fate. _. In recognition of American joy at the royal jubilee, Great Britain will send dele- gates to another monetary conference. This will not aid silver and will help along the McKinley shamming. What would the East say to anything like a genuine monetary conference? With the Governor of Kentucky sending cannon to awe a mob and the Governor of Florida calling for Federal troops for the same purpose, the anti-mob idea seems to be growing. In time the mob spirit even in Ohio may be subdued. oe Collis Huntington’s confession that the worst laws have never damaged railroad properties so much as they have been damaged by their management should be kept in mind in all consideration of rail- road affairs in the United States. — The telegraphic service of the Asso- clated Press has never been excelled. The telegraphic reports of this great news or- ganization appear in no afternoon news- paper in St. Louls but the Post-Dispatch, I ——— 7 Five lines of warships, each line five miles long, are to-day celebrating the British Empress. It is a great Christian spectacle, and may be useful in awing the Turk and other barbarians. ~ oO ee “Instead of general prosperity we have general adversity,” said Capt. O’Shea on ‘Change yesterday. The organs that have announced the return of prosperity are evidently off. 2 - Or Only the most popular newspapers keep up a great circulation in times of busi- ness depression. The circulation of the Post-Dispatch is great in all kinds of times. Doubtless increased pay would enable Philanthropist Butler to fatten the tot- tering mule which the Humane Society agent found tugging at a garbage cart. Col. Ed Butler is so wrapped in the odor of philanthropy that he probably could not smell any other smell even if a gun were to go off. Speaker Reed is wearing breeches of foreign made cloth, Is this his way of expressing his dislike of William Mo- Kinley? _ Mr. Debs is getting most favor for his scheme from people who want to get 2,000 miles away from Chicago. —_— - Speaker Reed is charged with being bull-headed. He seems to have the Re- publican majority cowed. oO Reflections of a Bachelor. From the New York Press. The main trouble with most women is that their husbands don’t neglect them enough. Probably the ass had the idea that Ba- laam was taking her for a present to some woman. When a man refers to Honolulu, you may be pretty certain he isn’t sure how to pro. nounce Hawail. A philosopher ig a man who can admire a woman after he has found out that she doesn’t admire him., A woman will quarrel with her husband for wearing his old coat around the house the same day she puts off combing her hair till after breakfast. A man never knows whether he is really in love with a woman till he has tried to imagine how she would look with three of her front teeth out. Incomplete Education. From the Houston (Tex.) Post. The thousands of graduates of American colleges this year can not be sald to have completed their education until they learn that the majority of graduates before them are virtually starving in the professions.

MEN OF MARK. The Brazilian Minister in Washington is blind, and has the daily papers read to him by a secretary. Hon. Patrick A, Collins, ex-Consul Gen- eral to London, who recently returned to his home in Boston, will take up his law practice immediately. Mr. Arthur Balfour is reported to be an ardent advocate of women’s rights. This is said to be owing to. the influence of his clever sister, Miss Agnes Balfour. Few public men are more enthusiastic over base ball than Assistant Secretary of State Willlam R. Day. Away back in the early '70s the Judge covered the first base for the University of Michigan team, and still carries a couple of crooked fingers as a result. But this does not diminish his enthusiasm. Mr. Tyson, the Australian multi-million- aire, made his first big haul shortly after the great rush to the Bendigo gold field. Thousands of gold-seekers were encamped on the golden flat, and a meat famine was at its height, when Tyson shrewdly arrived on the scene with a herd of cattle and a numerous flock of sheep. He made a profit of something like 10,000 per cent on that little speculation. The author of “‘Tenting On the Old Camp Ground” is still living at Reed’s Ferry, N.

Pennsylvania lost no oppor- tunity to put this theory to the test. For years her majorities in favor of the candi- dates of the party of protection were larger than those of any other State, Kansas did indeed wrest from Pennsylvania the proud position of “the banner Republican State” in 1888, but Kansas is now “up against” the condition its theory led to and is repenting in sackcloth, ashes and Populism. It was in the summer of 1892 that the working people of Pennsylvania first showed indications that the protective the- ory was not working to their entire satis- faction. It enabled their masters to buy castles in Scotland indeed, but it did not seem to give any guarantee that they themselves could buy bread. So they pro- tested, and their protests took the illogical form of bullets, Partly because of this disloyal desertion of a purely patriotic the- ory, partly because Huns and Slavs would work more cheaply than Americans, the masters imported some scores of thousands of the latter, while keeping up thelr de- mand for protection to American labor. It is among these immigrants from the least intelligent peoples of Europe that the pau- perism which agitates our McKinleyite con- temporary is found, and they are in Penn- sylvania because they were brought there by the men who year after year haunted the corridors of the national Capitol, beg- ging for a protective tariff which would maintain “the dignity of American labor.” What ails Pennsylvania is the ingrained conviction of its millionaire manufacturers that the country owes them a living. If they can’t get such a@ one as they wish by the exercise of the taxing privilege they will eke it out by employing foreign pauper labor while their mills are running, and leaving their workmen to the care of the public when their mills are shut down, DIFFERENT POKERS. “For Heaven's sake, Jones!

War on the greenbacks {!s what its de- manded of the President by those who complain of his alleged lack of interest and activity in currency reform. Mr, Me- Kinley knows that his party would be split into two hostile factions if the administra- tion were to press that issue. He knows, too, that the regular Democratic organiza- tion and its allies—the great combination that supported Bryan and free coinage— would stand on that issue with one, and, we believe, the larger fraction of his own party. To push a greenback ficht would be’ almost certain to bring in the opposition to the gold standard. If Mr, McKinley were as unwise as those who are grum- bling over his delay of currency reform, he would help the combined opposition to an easy and overwhelming free silver victory in 1900.

To the’ Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I gee that the problem of modern ma- chinery is @ngaging a good deal of atten- tion from your readers and yourself, as in- deed it may well do. I have just come across a dispatch in the Globe-Democrat from Altoona, Pa., in which it is stated that the coal mine operators are only wait- ing for a big etrike to put into the mines machines for ——e t . which will mine 20 tons of coal a day, or as much as 50 miners, the intention being to make a wholesale displacement of hu- man jabor in the mines. It seems to me that the owners of our coal mines will com- mit a great crime if they do this, not in putting in the machines, but in doing 80 as a sort of defiance of labor and an exhibi- tion of brutality at critical time, I rejoice in the fact that huge machines can lighten human labor, but I see no help for this wholesale oe og: by machin- ery for the benefit of a few than for the State to own the machines. Our Single Tax friends advocate the public manage- ment of monopolies, and surely when ag- gregated capital owns ines that are capante of supplying the entire market with a product, suc nes constitute a monopoly or create {[t.

Our Neighbor Prospers While We Wait for the Gold Standard to Bring Good Times. F. W. Edelsten, editor of the Mining and Metallurgical Journal of Los Angeles, Cal., is in St. Louis, having just returned from a business trip to the mining regions of Mex- ico. Mr. Edelsten was formerly a resident of El Paso, where he was the government assayer and chem!st and the general man- ager of a big ore plant. He talks interest- ‘ingly of the effects of the high tariff on min- ing industries and of prosperity in Mexico, “where silver has not been demonetized. “Four years ago this June,’’ said Mr. Eflefsten to a Post-Dispatch reporter, ‘‘sil- ver dropped in price below the cost of min- ing and we were forced to close fown our ated plant at El Paso and go out of busi- ess “At that time, just before the McKinley Dill became a law there were large smelters in Denver, Pueblo, Omaha, Socoro and El Paso, and they were importing lead carbon- ate ores from Sierra Mayada, Mex., for use in their smelters. This importation was found nécessary after the visible supply of lead carbonate ores was exhausted in the United States, which practically happened five years ago. “If bar or pig lead had advanced as much in price as the duties imposed by the Mc- Kinley bill the emelters would have con- tinued to import lead, as they badly needed it to work the dry ores.-in the United States. “But as the price of lead dropped and continued to drop a number of the largest smelting firms in the United States found it necessary to move to Mex- ico. When this was done it deprived the transportation lines of the United States of the heavy gs ee formerly shipped, cut the ore supply of the American smelters to a minimum, and generally: cemoralized the ore business of the country. ‘Within four years the following smelters ave been established in Mexico: Three at onterey, two at Chihuahua, one at Ma- imi, one at Aquas Caltientas, one at San uls Potosi, one at Quencami. “Most of these smelters are using lead ores that never came to the United Btates, and never would have come, ase the silver and gold contents were so low that the value would not have been sufficient to pay wate to the border. But with these large eee tefs established on the ground, these arge bodies of lead ores are used for flux, ony when the bullion is obtained most of it 8 shipped to New York, and, after being re- fined, the pig ‘lead is thrown on the market {n dlrect competition with the output of he American smelters, which process last summer brought the price of lead below $2.50 er 100—the lowest price on record, This one of the effects of a high tariff.” “The import of ores from Mexico by the American smelters has fallen off, until it amounts to little or “gt yp “While the age ga in Mexico is go'ng ahead, millions of merican capital are being invested there to build up an !ndustry that should and would have stayed in the United States had it not been for the pas- Sage of the McKinley bill, which was done with absolutely no investigation having previously been made ae to the results that would attend such a move *Mexico et ae is the most attractive field for capital probably in the world. Had Mr. Diaz, the President of the Re- ublic, foolishly put his country on a gold @sis, the business depression there would lave been worse than in the United States.’ Mr. Edelsten, in conversation with a French traveling man four years ago, as- certained that the house represented b this traveler found it impossible to A immediately .g00ds in Mexico after the a in silver o caused by England stopping t coinage in India.

Beer and Stamp Tax Abandoned, Tea and Reciprocity Are in Doubt. a WASHINGTON, D. C., June %.—The Re- publican tariff managers are very hopeful of being able to complete the consideration of the tariff bill in the Senate by next Wednesday night, a result which would bring the end in the Senate within the present month. They are led to this con- clusion because the Republicans have ad- justed most of the'tr differences and see their way clear to the settlement of others. The Democratic leaders do not concede the poss'bility of so early a conclusion. They generally place it a week further on, or about the 7th or 8th of July, but admit that the end may come by Saturday of next week. Of the problema still unsolved by the Re- publicans, lead ore, coal, fron ore, gypsum, tallow and a few chemicale are giving the most trouble, but there is no doubt of an adjustment on all of these which will hold the full party vote. The disposition is to hold to the rates at present fixed on lead and iron ore, with the intention of mak'ng changes in conference. The rate on Can- adian coal will probably be advanced to 67¢ per long ton. The advocates of high rates on lead ore are apparently prepared to meet their op- | ponents half way in conference and accept a rate of 1% cents. The Finance Committee has practically decided to abandon the proposed tax on bank checks which at one time was so fav- orably considered, and also the increase of 44 cents a barrel in the beer tax and the change in the tobacco tax. There is some difficulty in the Judiciary Committee in agreeing upon the form of an anti-trust amendment, but all the prob- abilities point to the incorporation of the Pettus proposition directed specifically at the Sugar Trust: and of very little more. It is expected that the reciprocity amend- ment will be ready for presentation by next Tuesday. .The present indications are that it will make provision for negotiating a reciprocity treaty, but that there will be a requirement that it shall be submitted to the Senate. The we ey | for subserving the revenues will render it impossible that provision sheuld be made for the free ad- mission of dutiable articles under reciprocal agreements, but that a maximum per cent. age for remission will be specified. The rate of remission most favorably considered now is 20 “2 cent. There will probably be objection to the retention of the House provision for the continuance of the Hawalian reciprocity agreement on sugar, but the Finance Com. mittee will favor such an arrangement and the probabilities are that the Republicans will support it solidly pending action upon the annexation treatv. The action of the committee in withdrawing its amendmenis to the sugar schedule probably would have the effect of leaving the provision in force without further effort to that end, but there is no probability that some one will not offer an amendment that will open up the entire question. The question of the duty on tea !{s again receiving the attention of the committee. This was practically abandoned at one time but since {t has been found necessary to le the beer tax go and to forego the tax on checks it is thought that the tea duty may be necessary to bring the revenue up to the requisite point. The inclinations of the committee are $till against the tax, and if kept in it will be only on account of the necessity for so do- ing. The committee is now having a com- utation made that will determine this mat- er. . The expectation is that the bill will not be long in conference. The rospective House conferees ‘have been in touch with the Senate..managers from the beginning of the consideration of the bill in the Senate and have already, it is stated, practically concurred in many of the changes which have been made. Both the Senate and House managers will agree upon the necessity for as early an agreement as possible. senator Aldrich is expected to return in time to act with the Senators in the con- ference. He is looked for on Sunday. Greatest Trip of the Season, $28.35. That is the cost for the Epworth League Excursion to Toronto, Cahada, and return, to attend the National Convention.

HE FAVORS REORGANIZATION. Says the Plan of Harris of Kansas of Government Operation Is Chimerical. A cheerful English cannel coal fire blaz- ing brightly in a grate was one of the June anomalies that a Post-Dispatch reporter encountered in a Pine streét mansion Sat- urday morning. It was the home of 8S. H. H. Clark, Presi- dent and one of the receivers of the Union Pacific Raiway Co. Mr. Clark gat in an invalid chair, near the blazing grate, and his lower extremities were covered with a red blanket. Ladies of his household were reading to him the bits of news in the newspapers which were likely to interest him. One of these was the Associated Press dispatch, which gave particulars of the action of the Senate Committee on Rail- roads, in Wash:ngton, with-reference to the affairs of the Union Pacific, Railway. The committee had agreed to report favor- ably the resolution introduced by Senator Harris of Kansas, expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States should redeem the Union Pacific Railway from prior Hens and take steps to foreclose the Government mortgage. Attached to and forming a part of the resolution was an amendment by Senator Morgan of Alabama requesting the President to “‘suspend pro- ceedings to carry into effect the agreement alleged to have been made to sell the in- terests of the United States In the Union Pacific Railway and in the sinking fund until further action of Congress is had in reference theretod.’’ All this, it is understood, is against the lan of reorganization agreed upon in New ork and in furtherance of which President Cleveland set the machinery of foreclosure at work in the Attorney-General’s office before he went out of office. That ma- chinery is still at work and Senator Mor- an’s amendment was to stop that imme- lately. President Clark had hardly digested the meaning of the Associated Press dispatch when the Post-Dispatch representative was ushered in. But he went over the Senate Committee’s action carefully, then he said: “T cam only see in this the usual obstruc- tive mé@asures to any reasonable and sen}1- ble business-like plan of settling the differ- neces between the Government and the Pa- ific railrcads. “This comes from Mr. Harris of Kansas— a very good man, but one whom heaven has not endowed with superlative qualities of mind, business sagacity or far-reaching | financial grasp. He represents that ele- ment in national legislation which is never remedial, but always obstructive./ He, with others in the West here, represefts all the discontent which finds vent in,-“complaint, but has never anything to offer that is at all practicable. So far as I can judge from this resolution, though it does not say so means that the Government shall pay oft the first mortgage holders in the Pacific railways, then foreclose on its own second mortgage, take possession and operate the roads, “That has long been a cherished idea in Populist circles, but it is absurd to sup- pose the country at large will ever consent | to it. The Government was not organized | to operate railroads or other enterprises. | “Senator Morgan’s amendment I take take to mean not so much a real measure | of obstruction as it is a hot shot at Cleve-| land’s administration. He wants the pro-| ceedings ordered by Cleveland to foreclose | atoppe until further orders of Congress. ‘‘There will never be a better plan of set- tling up the Pacific raibway difference with the Government than that suggested tn the lan of reorganization, now before Congress, t ie just, it is equitable and, what is of sOme consequence, it would be a settlement | that would settle. The country is tired of soe controversy. The peopie realize that the overnment has an equity, but they ad- mit that [t has been paid, in a general way, in the form of benefits, ten times the amount of that equity. The scheme of reorganiza- | tion involves payment of the first mortgage bonds by the Government, foreclosure by the i ge gee of the seconds and then | the sale 3 he entire property to a syndi- cate, by the terms of which the Govern- ment is to receive the face value of its bonds and 3 per cent interest for the time they have been running. ‘Phe Government would lose nearly the | amount of the first mortgage bonds, whicn it will have to pay, or, as the Sept says, about $24,000,000. I contend the Government has been benefited in ten times over that amount since those roads were built. “Tt will be a deplorable thing if the Sen- ate’s action shall disturb the plan of re- organization and foreclosure instituted dur- ing the Cleveland administration. That was the most equitable, the most sensible and | I may say, the most generous proposition | that was ever offered the Government for a settlement of the Pacific railway problem, and it ought to be gladly accepted by the Government's Ac geon nes Mee Oo obstruct it now, by captious resolutions of Senate | committees and other measures which offer | nothing better, is little less than criminal." | Mr. Clark says he is in much better health the last few weeks and he hopes to be able | to leave the cbty about July 10. He has nor determined where he will go, but he will search for a more equable climate than this has been during the last six months, “TO-MORROW.

OFFICE ROOM IN DEMAND. The Railroad Commissioners Could Make Space, but They Refuse to Vacate. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., June 2.—The question that ls now paramount in the minds of State capital dwellers is what will become of the Insurance Department of Missouri. That is, where the office of the department is to be located. In accordance with a law enacted by the last Legislature, the Insurance Department is to be removed from 8t. Louis to Jeffer- son City. That law went into effect June 20. The office of Insurance Commissioner Orear is now in Jefferson City construct- ively. Otherwise it is still in St, Louis, except a part which is in transit. This peculiar state of affairs is due to the fact that the Board of Permanent Seat of Government; whose duty it is to assign rooms in the Capitol building to the various departments of State, has not yet agreed upon a place for Commissioner Orear. The board consists of Gov, Stephens, Attorney- General Crow, State Auditor Seibert, Secre- tary of State Lesueur and State Treasurer Pitts. There is a wide difference of opinion as to how much room the Insurance De- partment requires. Some time ago it was proposed that three rooms on the first floor of the Capitol, now used by the Railroad Commissioners, be giv- en to Commissioner Orear. The Railroad Commissioners objected. This objection was sustained by a majority of the board—Audi- tor Seibert, Secretary LesuewWr and Treasur- er Pitts. Gov. Stephens and Attorney Gen- eral Crow protested without avail. The Rallroad Commissioners are still in _ pos- sessién. In view of the fact that the Rall- road Commissioners do not have use for so much space, it was the idea of the Gov- ernor to assign them to less commodious quarters, but still sufficiently large for the transaction of their business. One spacious room in the Geological department was sug- gested as a suitable office for the Railroad Commissioners. The State Geologist cheer- fully agreed to this arrangement, but the Railroad Comm'ssioners and their suport- ‘ers on the Capitol board would not enter- tain the proposition. No other available quarters for the In- surance Department can be found in the Capitol—at least such discovery has not yet been made. As a result, the Insurance Ve- partment of the great State of Missouri is to a certain extent a homeless outcast. In order to comply with the law, Commissioner 'Orear has stationed his chief deputy, Maj. He has a seal, reception room in the Governor's office. In | these improvised quarters Maj. Towles Is | holding the fort. “Yes, weewill run the Insurance Depart- ment of Missouri if we have to take it to the dome of the Capitol bullding,’’ the Major said to the Post-Dispatch correspondent. In support of removing the Raliroad Com- missioners to smaller quarters attention is called to the fact that the office force of the Railroad Commissioners consist of two peo- ple—a secretary and a stenographer, while six clerks are required by the Insurance De- partment. The secretary and stenographer of the Ra!tiroad Commissioners practically do all of the work. Neither of the three Rall- road Commissioners stays continuously at the capital, and the volume of business transacted by them is not large enough to require three rooms, it is argued. ailroad Commissioner Flory, who Is a Republican, is in Jefferson City very little of his time. Here of late he has been bus trying to ascend the McKinley throne. It is an Open secret that Flory wants to suc- ‘ceed Col. Morrison as a member of the In- 'terstate Commerce Commission.

Railroad Commissioner Hennessey may be | found in St. Louis oftener than in Jefferson City, although he probably visits the capl- ‘tal more frequently than either of the other com missioners, There was a marked tendency among the members of the last Legislature to abolish the Board of Ratlroad Commissioners on the theory that it was a useless burden upon the taxpayers. In support of this movement it was argued that one commissioner ap- pointed by the Governor could do the work of the three. The plan was not deemed pru- dent, however, and was early defeated. The Insurance Department of Missouri! Is a larger institution than is generally sup- osed by those who are not famiWar with ts importance. In St, Louls the department occupied six rooms in the Wainwright Building, and stl there was no space wast- Theme is a voluminous array of records, and papers enough to load several wagons. The department is constantly growing and six clerks are now kept busy. Mai. Towles is the sole representative of the Souenanen Department now here. In the limited space temporaftily assigned there is not room enough for nrore. Maj. Towles is in receipt of a letter from Supt. Orear, ‘gaying that he will arrive in Jefferson City Sunday. Tith him will come the entire office Fodee, If no other place can be founda the office furniture will have to be stored pending developments, except such part as may be crowded into the space offered by the Geological Department. ; veral meetings of the Capitol Board mi been held within the past month, but the deadlock is still on. At the last meetin the board adjourned subject to the call o the President—the Governor. Just when an- other meeting will be held has not yet been determined, Thus matters are pending. — The fact that the Insurance Comm.ssion- er is made responsible for the safe keeping of numerous valuable papers renders it necessary for his quarters to be supplied with a substantial vault. If he takes the one room which can be spared from the Geolog- ical Department, he will be without a vault equal t6 his requirements although it is said to be large enough and sufficiently se- cure to answer the purposes of the Railroad Commissioners. The vault in the commodious quarters oc- cup’ed by the Rallroad Commissioners is @ good one, It is now used chiefly as a cool place of storage fora water tank. By keep- ing the supply of ice water fn the vault It ia much cooler than it would be in any other part of the room. Insurance Commissioner Orear is under a bond of $100,000, with one exception the largest bond required of any State officer. This fact alone indicates the importance of the office. When the Post-Dispatch corres pomens one about provid.ng quarters for Commissioner Orear, the Governor repiled: “I am unable t s time.’’ Yarther ‘eon this he declined to discuss the subject, except to say that the In- surance Department is of such importance that it should be properly located. I have nothing whatever to say about: the Insurance epartment,” said State Auditor Seibert, when the Post-Dispatch correspondent attem ted to interview him.

COSGRIFF’S IN- STITUTION IS ALL RIGHT. TALES TOLD OUT OF SCHOOL. The Place Investigated on Account of Three Little Ones Whose Deaths Were Reported Friday. Capt. Phillips of the Fifth District Sat- urday personally investigated the deaths of the three babies reported Friday from 822 North Market street. Mrs. P. J. Cosgriff conducts a baby farm at that number, and the Captain inquirea closely into her mode of obtaining anda method of attending children, After an hour’s investigation, Capt. Phil- lps declared he could find nothing indica. tive of unkind treatment, and concluded the waifs died from natural causes. Mrs, Cosgriff conducts her business on the third floor. She says her establishment is not a baby farm, but a private nursery for very young children. In four rooms she lives, eats, sleeps and attends to her charges. The rooms were neat, clean and freshly aired when the po- lice officer and a Post-Dispafch reporter called Saturday. A young woman of 2% years she introduced as her daughter and chief assistant, Mrs. Adoplh Betz, the wife of the abscond- ing collector for the Me@ffitt-West Drug Company, was nursing a 4-months-old babe in another room, Mrs, Cosgriff said she was a widow ana had been caring for babies at that plac for three years. vans. Phillips inquire closely into the way she secured the waifs. The majority of them came from the In. stitutional Mission Home, 2628 Lucas ave- nue, Some are brought by their mothers and once in a great while, she said, a mid- wife brings one jn. “I give them the best of attention,” sdiq Mrs. Cosgriff, ‘“‘and get them homes or re- turn them to their parents. Five dollars a month pays for the baby’s care: When this remittance stops, and the ILttle ones are healthy, I turn them over to the St. Ann's or Bethesda Homes. What becomes of them I don’t know. “Mothers usually object to the asylums, and where a parent is interested, I try to place the waif in a private home, Some- times people call for babies, but I usually have to advertise, and then it is not long before a good home is secured, “The physicians at all the pubie ma- ternity hospitals know me, and it is mostly through them the babies find their way here. I do everything I can for them, and if the parents disappear, I turn them into some charitable institution, unless other homes can be provided.”’ Mrs, Cosgri says she has n physician to prescribe for her babi ‘Sometimes I call in one, sometimes an- other.” ehe said. “I am not conducting this place for any physician's benefit.”’ She brought forward her only charge to .

She comes to see it quite often and would take it home, but her grandfather forbids it."’ The baby is a victim of hacitis and it is doubtful if it lives. Mrs. Cosgriff told the Captain she rarely saw the parents of her charges. All busi- regular es. 'was attending college here in ness with her is conducted through a third arty. One of lawful birth is a rarity, and hen is the child of poor, hard-working paren? s.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH. CHIC AGO, June 26.—Wheat opened with a rush of buyin orders to- -day. There was more talk at the opening of a possible corner in July wheat than there has been at any time during the past week and the attention’ of traders was centered on this one feature, the usual routine news being al- most entirely ignored. Minneapolis wired that Pills- bury was a large owner of July there, which in- creased the anxiety of shorts in this market, and for the first half hour’s trading the pit was in a condition closely bordering on a panic. gy quotations for July ranged from 72 to Sp Og compared with yesterday's closing price of 71%c. Before trading got fairly start the price had jumpea to 73 Back it went to 72\%c, then with one jump an eavance to 73%c was scored. The market changed so fast that it was difficult to keep track of it. Back and forth it swayed between 7T2%c and 734e, Ts sc and %ec at a time, The surprising part of 1 owever, was the small amount of wheat that came out, offer! or bids for comparatively small lots sufficing to start the market either way.

WILLIAMS BONNIE BRIDE OUR MONTHS AGO SHE BURIED HER PRESENT HUSBAND’S SON. MARRIES HER FATHER-IN-LAW. The Aged Groom Is 90 Years Old, but -. ‘Hfe’s Gentle and Kind and Has Lots of Money. The marriage of the venerable Dr. James Williams, aged 9 years, to his daughter-in- law, Mra. Dr. Frederick G. Williams, aged 45, both of 6018 West Cabanne, is something more than an ordinary romance. The age and social standing of the groom, the relationship with-the bride and the fact she was a widow of five months, altogether give to the incident a color of general inter- est such as West End society has not known in many yéars. Dr. Williams has been a widower a quar- ter of a century. He was, until his retire- ment from practice twenty years ago, 4 leading and successful physician, amassing a fortune which is estimated at half a mil- lion dollars. : He had a son and a daughter with whom he set up a splendid home in Cabanne, The daughter was married several years ago to Edwin M. Treat, who is 9s ie | of the American Credit Indemnity Co. hey live in a pretty little cream-colored brick house at 4396 Laclede avenue. ; The son, Dr. Frederick G. Williams, mar- ried a young widow, Mrs. Alexander, nee Beauvais, and the son and daughter-in-law took charge of the old gentleman’s house, In February last the young Dr. Williams died, leaving his wife twice a widow. _ But the old doctor had grown very fond of his daughter-in-law. liis extreme age and en- feebied condition rendered it necessary that he should have constant care ard atten- tion, which he received at the hands af Mrs. Williams. Then the spring days came on. The careful nursing which the doctor obtained had given him new life and vigor. A mutual grief and helplessness drew the couple more and more closely together, and as the old man gaw the ease and gentleness wiih which his faithful kinswoman looked after his home and his interests) a new emotion atirred within him. He had no associates but her. He rarely left the house, and his company was lim- ited to a few neighbors. Moreover, it is said another consideration had moved him. He had intended much of his wealth to be handed down to his son, in whose career he manifested the deepest interest, When that s0n passed away his hopes vanished, and ne found himself, as his friends declare, very close to his journey’s end. Then he thought of the daughter-{n-law to whom his son had been devoted. To honor her in some marked way and to the extent of his ability appeared to be his next care. They were not geen often out- side the home, but in the evenings they sat out on thé broad, cool piazza and to- gether enjoyed the breezes that hover over The house of Cabanne place. remote some distance from the trees Stands alone, any other, and so they had no prying eyes into the secrets of theif rtship, But early in June the old physician had won the heart and hand of his daughter- in-law. There was much quiet objection to the marriage on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Treat, who argued the age and feebleness of the doctor, and Mrs. Williams stood aside until the controversy had ended. The doctor, Jn return, argued that he was yet his own needed the care which he could Whereupon all Master an urely have by marriage.

Even his office contained little bottles and pack- ages of germ killers which he gave away to the poor. In 1872, when Maj. John N. Edwards was editing the St. Louls Times, he asked Maj. Mellon for an article explaining his dis- coveries. It was furnished and printed. That article drifted around among the newspapers for several years until it finally appeared in the New York Herald. Dr, Pasteur happened to be In this country at the time and saw it. He carried it back to Paris, told his government what he had learned and secured $10,000 with which to make experiments in Egypt. The world knows the result. Meanwhile Dr. Koch was making similar experiments, and when he made claim to having discovered disease microbes before the Frenoh physician, Pas- teur flung at him the statement that both had obtained the idea from “an American named Mellon.” Maj.
