VOL. XV. SIX BRAVE MEN LOST They Were Attempting to Rescue the Crew of a Stranded Brig. When Under the Lee of the Vessel Their Boat Cap sized. Only One of the Rescuers Managed to Get on Board. Six Men on Board an Ice- Locked Steam Barge. New Bedford, Mass., Feb. 25.— Six men were drowned off Cuttynunk, one of the Elizabeth islands, iast night while trying to rescue the crew of a stranded vessel. These men composed the volunteer crew of the Massachusetts Humane society's lifeboat. The names of the unfortunate men are: Capt. Tim othy Akin, Isaiah Taylor, H. Jackson, William Brightman, Fiederick Aiken. A rope was thrown to Capt. Aiken, which he caught and tied around him self three times, but it slipped off and he was lost. All the men but Bright man lived on the island. Capt. Aiken leaves a wife and seven children: Jack son a wife and three children, ana Til ton a wife and two children. During the terrible storm of last even ing a vessel was discovered aground off Sow and Pigs reef. The boat belonging to the Massachusetts Humane society was got out and a volunteer crew of men put off in her.despite the warnings of the captain of the life-saving station. The men were determined to rescue the crew of the vessel if it was possible to do so. They had a long, Hard and Ferilous Pull. and the waves threatened every moment to engulf them, but at last they suc ceeded in getting under the lee of the vessel. A rope was thrown to the boat, but just as a landing was about to be effected a great wave capsized the boat, and in an instant the men were strug gling in the ice-cold water. One man ot the boat's crew, Joseph Tilton, caught a rope thrown and was drawn on board the vessel, but the rest were lost. Com munication was subsequently es tablished with the land, and it was then ascertained that the crew were all lost. An affecting scene ensued. The wives and. children searched the shore agonizingly for the bodies of the dead, and they were joined by nearly all the popula tion of the village, none of .whom slept last night. It is _ the worst disaster known in the history of the island. The wrecked vessel was ascertained to be tho brig Sagua, laden with sugar, bound from Cuba for Booton. It is thought the brig will be lost. The captain and crew of the brig were saved, aud landed on Cuttynunk. The body of Frederick Aiken was washed ashore this morning. LOCKED IN ICE. Perilous Position of the Steam Barge Burroughs. Chicago, Feb. 25.— The steam barge George T. Burroughs is locked in the ice about eighteen miles off Michigan City, with her coal all gone and her sea cocks frozen so that no water can be pumped into the boiler. On board the steamer are six men. The vessel left Milwaukee tor Chicago last Wednes day, but was unable to ar rive at the harbor before the coal gave out, and she was then blown across the lake and held last by the ice. W. J. Healey and Greier Napier, the son of the captain, made their way over eighteen miles of water and ice to the Michigan shore and reported the ves sel's predicament. Tugs will be sent out tomorrow, and it is expected that the boat and crew will be rescued. They are considered in no immediate danger. LUCKY PASSENGERS. No One Killed in a Frig-tit Ail Wreck on tho Erie. Olean, N. V., Feb. 25. -The Erie Vestibule Train No. 8 was wrecked about one mile east of Vandalia today, and ten persons were seriously injured, though no one was killed. The train was running at a speed of about thirty eight miles an hour, and was rounding a curve on the bank of the Allegheny river, when the Pull man" dining car and three sleepers jumped the track and were precipitated down a twenty-foot embankment and were badly demolished. It is remark able that no one was killed in the fright ful wreck. The wreck was caused by the spreading of the rails. The injuries sustained were mainly contusions and fractures. It is thought all of those in jured will recover. Ditched by a Broken Rail. Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 25.— A west bound Union Pacific passenger train was ditched near Rock Springs this evening. A broken rail was the cause. The engine was turned over com pletely. The baggage car and smoker left the track. There was a panic among the passengers, but none were seriously injured. Officials will not give particulars. Bitten by a Mad Dog. Collinsville, 111., Feb. 25.— A mad dog here today ran into a crowd and bit Helen, little daughter of John Crafts; a son of John Walter, S. N. bailey twice, aud three others, before he was shot by Thomas Mcßeynolds. The dead dog was examined, and the doctors all de clared that he had hydrophobia* _■___- _ IN FINANCIAL SHOALS. Receivers Appointed for a Penn sylvania Rolling Mill. Philadelphia, Feb. 25. —a sensa tion was caused late this afternoon by the announcement that the Cofrodc __ Savior company, incorporated and con trolling the Reading rolling mills, was insolvent, and that receivers had been applied for by some of the principal creditors of the company. This corpo ration... as organized with a capital stock of 1500,000, of which £400,000 have been issued. Joseph Cofrodc and William F. ilarrity were appointed as receivers. Chicago, Feb. 25.— The Chicago Bank \Z^**V Note company went into the hands of the sheriff today. It is the concern which achieved notoriety about a year ago by a system of check-kiting, resulting in the flight of George Battels, one of its officials, and the criminal prosecution of others. --The assets of the concern consists of ?25,000 worth of work on hand, .*-5,000 in outstanding accounts, and a plant said to be worth $50,000. The liabilities are placed by the com pany at $75,000. ■__». DECLINE IN STOCKS. Small Amount of Free Gold Held Responsible. New York, Feb. While the re markable declines of some stocks dur ing the last week have their particular causes, yet the general demoralization that has characterized the market is largely due to the increasing distrust in the financial condition. The knowledge that if the situation become? much more acute collateral will be scrutinized more closely and the "pool" stocks may be discriminated against, creates a sentiment of uncertainty, but accentu ates the inherent weakness of the market. This is all largely due to a knowledge that the amount of free gold is rapidly approaching the vanish ing point, or, as the speculative com munity- Is largely actuated by sentiment and a discounting of future contingen cies, there is a feeling of uncertainty as to what will happen when this point is reached. While the free gold is nominally about 54,000,000, yet, as has been pointed out, the surplus reserve is kept intact simply by the sufferance of the banks, but re serve is really at the present time about §98.000,000. In view of the fact that ad ditional gold shipments are predicted early next week, it promises to be a neck and neck race between the pres ent administration and the utter elimin ation of the small balance of apparently free gold before March 4. If the feat is accomplished the secretary of the treasury will undoubtedly breathe easier. SYSTEM FEDERATION. Santa Fe Employes Preparing to Put the Plan Into Effect. Buffalo Switchmen Going to Get Square With With Their Chi cago Brethren. Denver, Col., Feb. 25.— evening paper prints the following: There is a big deal on the Santa Fe system of rail roads. The entire army of employes from Chicago to California are laying plans to organize a vast federation, in cluding every order of workingmen on the system. The place set for the deliberation which it is hoped will consummate this gigantic confederation is Wichita, Kan. The gathering will contain delegates from all orders connected with the line — engineers, firemen, railway telegraphers and brakemen. The boys are quite reticent over the affair, and shake their heads when questioned as to the object of their meeting. They say it is a grand movement all along the line to combine for protection to better cope with the management. When asked if there is any dissatisfaction that i 3 likely to end in a strike or in a demand for increase of wages, the men say no. Neither will they allow that the death of President Manvel has anything to do with the enterprise. The utmost secrecy attends the movements of the parties at interest. Last night a delegation of Denver Santa Fe men, representing each of the orders— engineers, firemen, railway telegraphers and brakemen— pacued their grips and quietly boarded the train for Wichita. It was impossible to as certain the names ot the Denver repre sentatives. It is supposed on the out side that the move means something of more than ordinary interest and some confidently predict lively times on the Santa Fe within a short period. Buffalo, N. V., Feb. 25.— Thirty-one switchmen, who have been out of em ployment since the big strike of last fall, left here tonight for Chicago to take the places of the strikers on the Chicago _. Western Indiana road. More will follow. The men say they are going to get square for the action of the Chi cago switchmen in taking their places during the strike in this city. Chicago, Feb. 25.--Unless the de mands of the striking electrical workers are granted today ail members of the building trades council, representing twenty-seven trades, will quit work at the world's fair grounds. This was the decision reached at a meeting of the building trades council at No. 167 Wash ington street last night. This.the strikers say, will make it impossible to get the work done at the fair grounds by May 1. Seventy non-union electrical work ers joined the strikers. The possibility of the police force being represented in the trade and labor assembly is one of the possibilities of the near future. The project is ill the hands of Officer Ed ward McCann. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Feb. 25.— The Nanticoke mine strike is extending. Yesterday the men at the Glen Lyon and Grand Tunnei collieries joined the main body of the strikers. There are now about 2,800 men and boys out of work. The strike was originated by eight boys who worked in the deep shaft, and who were paid at the rate of $1.22. and wanted $1.33 per day. •_». LUCK OF A MICHIGAN MAN An Immense Deposit of Iron Ore on a Forty-Acre Tract. Saginaw, Mich., Feb. 25.- An im mense deyosit of rich Bessemer ore has been discovered -on a forty-acre tract in St. Louis county, Minnesota, owned by Hon. W. R. Burt, of this city. It is calculated that over 10,000.000 tons are in sight, as holes have been dug down all over the tract, the rich deposit being only fifteen feet below the surface, and so soft it can be dug with steam shovels. Mr. Burt nas leased the mine to Hib bings& Tremble. STARVING BOOMERS. Samples of Telegrams Sent to Speaker Crisp. Arkansas City, Mo. , Feb. 25 . —Fifty telegrams were sent to Speaker Crisp today by persons interested in the im mediate opening to settlement of the Cherokee strip. Among the telegrams were these: "The people will starve if strip is not opened. Help us." "Give home-seekers an equal chance with Texas steers. Recognize Peel." • "Give Peel bill a show." "For God's sake open the Cherokee outlet, or make appropriation to feed 20,000 starving home-seeders." Doesn't Get His $1,000.0C0. Brooklyn, Feb. 25.— The suit insti tuted by John F.

SETTLED BY A COURT. Kansas Republicans Win a Legal Victory From the Populists. Their House Decided to Be the Legally Organized Body. Populist House Will Dissolve and Join the Rival Or ganization. President - Elect Cleveland and Two of His Cabinet Confer. — - — Topeka, Kan., Feb. 25. - Chief Jus tice Horton today consumed two hours in rendering the decision of the supreme court in the Gunn habeas corpus case. His conclusions were of the most em phatic character, and were to the effect that the Republican house was the legally constituted house of representa tives of the state, and was clothed with all the power of a legislative body. It could subpoena witnesses to testify be fore comniittees, and punish those guilty of -contempt of its orders. As sociate Justice Johnson fully con curred, but Associate Justice Allen, the Populist member of the court, said that he radically dissented. He held that the court had no power to question the decision of the senate as to which was the legally constituted house- The members of the senate, he said, were as supreme in their sphere as the membeas of the court. The governor also, he maintained, could not be questioned by the court in any of his official acts. In conclusion, be declared that the majority of the court had overstepped its line of duty as laid down by the constitution. The decision of the court puts an end to a condition of affairs more unique and exciting than anything which has thrilled Kansas since the border wars. 'flic Rival Houses which havo been struggling for the mastery, sometimes by parliamentary means," sometimes by force, and at last through the judiciary, will now probably unite in one body and transact* much-needed busi ness. The acts of the Populist house having been declared to be illegal, all the appropriation bills will have to be passed over again. The Republican House has passed many bills, and they will be sent to the senate at the first op-, portunity. The present session of the legislature expires by limitation March 3, and it will be necessary to hold an ex tra session in order to transact the neces-_ sary business. The constitution pro-"' vides that members may draw per diem dues for only thirty days of an extra session, and an effort will be made to close up the business within that time. The effect of the opinion upon the election of Judge John Martin as sen ator seems to be an uncertain quantity. Judge Martin was elected by a joint convention of the Populist house and senate. The Populist house having been illegally organized,** it is a question whether Judge tilt's Election . would be recognized by the senate. The Republicans and stalwart Dem ocrats, however, have decided to make no election, and there be ing no contestant for the seat, and Mr. Martin's credentials being reg ular upon the face, might be accepted by the senate. It may be that a joint convention of the house and senate may be held later to choose a senator, and in that event the Democrats would doubt less joint . the Populists and ratify Mr. Martin's election. The members of the Populist house went into caucus this evening to con sider what action to take in view of the supreme court's decision upholding the legality of the organization of the Re publican house. After much discus sion, it was decided to name a commit tee of three to wait upon the gov ernor, and consult with him as to their future course, aud to report to the house Monday. The general sentiment of the caucus was to abide by the court's decision and to join the Republican house forthwith. The gov ernor, in an interview, took that view of the situation. The committee will m„l_e a report to that effect Monday, and the Populist house'will then dissolve, and its members will then join the rival organization. CONFER ON STATE AFFAIRS. Mr. Carlisle Joins Judge Gresham at I_ake -wood. Lakewood, N. J., Feb. 25.— Hon. John G. Carlisle arrived from Washing ton" today, and was met at the station by Mrs. Cleveland. He entered the Cleve land carriage and was driven to the cottage, where he found the president elect and Judge Gresham awaiting him. Mr. Cleveland and his chief advisers held a conference which lasted until 3 o'clock. Then Judge Gresham was driven to the ' sta tion by Mrs. Cleveland; and Mr. Cleve land and Mr. Carlisle went out for a Svalk. Judge Gresham took the 3:45 "".rain for New York. He declined, to talk about the object of his visit, and said that he would return at once to Chicago. Mr. Carlisle will be Mr. Cleve land's guest over Sunday. . Mr. Cleveland's plans for the trio to Washington are now fairly complete. It was his original intention to travel only at night. But this plan has now been changed, so that the special train will leave New York on Thursday morning next at 10 o'clock, making no stops between New Fork and Lake wood, where It will take up the president-elect and the members of his family and party. When the tram leaves New York it will carry, as the guests of the president-elect, ex-Post master General Don M. Dickinson and wife. Col. Daniel S. Lamont, his wife and children; Robert Lincoln O'Brien, the stenographer; E. C Benedict, wife and two daughters; "Richafd Watson Gilder and his wife and per haps one or two Orther. persons who are not yet known, although it is not likely that the party will be much enlarged beyond those already mentioned. The train will run through to Washington ' direct, reaching there some time be tween 6 and 8 o'clock in the evening. The entire party will go directly to the Arlington hotel, 'as heretofore • an nounced. ______________ . >,' Still Voting Without Result.

Bragg's Opinion of His Party Chief. '*v. Chic ago, Feb. 24.— Gen. Bragg, ac companied by his wife, stopped at the; Victoria hotel today, on his way to Washington from his home in Wiscon sin. They will spend about two weeks in Washington, during which they will., take part in the inauguration festivities. * Speaking about politics, the general said: l "Mr. Cleveland's selection of cabinet officials shows his strongly marked individuality. This one of- his char-, acteristics had more to do with his selec tion by the people 1 am as president than any other pleased with the selec tion of Judge Gresham. 1 believe him to be a clear-headed man of broad views, and absolutely fearless, i An. ad ministrative officer needs to be fearless these days. In party affairs I believe a new era has been reached. Many men in each party in New York are not in sympathy with party principles, and these men will in the future think and act alike." BBSS COLLEGE ATHLETICS. Annual Meeting of the Intercol legiate Association of Ama- . teur Athletes. Changes Made In the Constitu tion, and the Membership - Enlarged. New York, Feb. 25.— The fact tthatt t j athletic matters of importance would be j discussed drew out a large attendance , at the eighteenth annual meeting of the- Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes, which was held at the Fifth - Avenue hotel this afternoon. Nineteen colleges, including two newly ad- ; mitted to membership, were represented, • but the session was a very Inter esting one. They were as follows: Amherst. Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Princeton, Union, Williams, Brown, Weslevan, Fordham, .Trinity, Uni versity of New York, University of Pennsylvania. College of the City of New York, Rutgers, Yale, Stevens and Swarthmore. The most important ques tion that came up was au undergradu ate rule which Yale advocated. It was defeated by a vote of 11 to 8. ' A number of amendments to tie con stitution were offered by the executive committee. One of them provided that if a competitor in a race .were fouled and run out,.the race should be postponed for a time not exceeding one month.* This was unanimously rejected... Au amendment providing that not more than eight men should be entered in any one event by a college and not more than, five men from any college be allowed to start in an event, was carried. There ; was also adopted an amendment provid ing that entries to games shall close at least three weeks before the day of -•the event. Brown and Wesleyan Universities admitted to membership. The officers elected were as follows:.* President. R. B. Wade, of Yale; vice president, F. St. Elmo Lewis, of Pennsylvania; secretary, T. Daley, of Union; treasurer, M. A. Doran, of Fordham; executive commit tee, W. I. Thompson, of Harvard; P, H. Davis, of Princeton; H. Johnson, of Columbia; P. G. Heutz, of New. York. Something of a sensation was. caused the reDort of the executive committee to the. effect that J. W. Hutchinson, of the University of New York, who had gotten up the athletic meeting programme for some time past, was in arrears to the association to the extent of about $500. The meeting then adjourned. ".*, 'rJ!~, -.{. • !_-_ MANVEL LAID AWAY. The Remains of the Dead Rail road President Buried at San Diego. . Speculation as to His Successor as President of the Santa Fe. . San Diego, Cal., Feb. 25.— The fu neral of Allen Manvel, the late presi dent of the Santa Fe road, took place from the white parlor of the Hotel Del Coronado to Mount Hope ceme tery this afternoon. It was private, with brief services by Rev. T. C. Reid. . pastor of Coronado Presbyterian church. In addition to the regular pall bearers there were eight honorary ones, includ ing A. Spear, Bryant Howard, of this; city; F. S. Babcock, of Coronado, and five railroad men. A lot was purchased*! in the cemetery, as Mrs. Manvel pre fers to have interment here. Beautiful floral offerings were sent by friends. ' . Chicago, Feb. 25.— Speculation is al ready rife as to who will be the sue-' cessor of Allen Manvel as president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. railroad. The general opinion seems to be that First Vice President Riue hart will step into the vacancy.: This would involve a change .of ' policy on the part of the company, which has . heretofore selected practical railroad men for that position, • while Mr. Rinehart is essentially a' financial man without experience in practical railroading. Second Vice President"" Robinson, of Topeka, has been mentioned as the probable coming man, but while he is a manager of, recognized ability, few people believe that he will be elevated to the presi dency at this time.

Northwestern Democrats Will . 3e Recognized at Wash .■*_*■*" \ n?ton in Future. Elections of Last November Were Eye-openers for Na .-; tional Leaders. Baldwir,; and Hall Will Be Give.. First-Glass Com mittee Places. A Tariff-Reduction Bill to Be the First Administra- s ."** tion Measure. Special to he Globs. Wasiiixgtox, Feb. 25.— the first time in the history of the state the na ri . tional tiers of the Democracy are pay ing a gre it deal of attention to Minne sota, and in the next congress the two Democrats from the North Star state will be well treated in the make-up of the committees. One reason why the Democratic members from Minnesota have not received more consideration from the speakers during the years past has been the fact that they were looked upon as one-termers, political accidents. ' Hon. Henry Poehler, who ac- I complished the then difficult task of de i feating Maj. Strait a dozen years or J more ago in the old Minnesota valley j district, was a strong member, but he -Was given but one term. The late Hon. Eugene Wilson won a high standing for a new member, but was retired before tbe lower house passed into the hands of the Democracy in 1875. In the elec tions of 1886 three strong men were sent to Washington by the Minnesota Dem ocrats', but all were retired with one term. But even in that short time Judge Thomas Wilson, of Winona, demon strated that Minnesota was possessed of big and brainy Democrats.who would in the future have to be considered. The sweep of 1890, which left the Re publicans but one member in the Min nesota delegation, again called the at tention of the national leaders to the j state, and when the ordeal of a national election was passed through last fall and one of these three members was returned ''*} , i'*r -.vi.h a strong man from the Lake it: I-*!., or district, the fight for recognition- .* ._ evident. The re-elec tion of Co,. .essmau Hall is the first in-, stance 'of __ Democratic member from .Minnesota-securing a re-election, and it bids fair to prove extremely valuable for the state in the next two years. Honors for the major. Maj. Baldwin, as the representative of the Sixth districts greatly interested in the subject of the Improvement of the waterways between the Zenith City and New York, and the committee of which he would prove a most valuable mem ber is that on rivers and harbors, and it is not only probable, but almost a cer tainty, that he will be placed on that committee. At the present time Con gressman Stephenson, of the Menom inee, Michigan, district is the only man on this committee who lives near Lake Superior. Congress Weadock.also of Michigan, is on the committee, but he comes from farther south. Weadock is an old member, a Democrat and well upon the list, and will remain there. Stephenson has also been re-elected, but he is the last on the Republican end of the committee, comparatively a new member, and will probably be retired for a Republican from Massachusetts or Rhode Island, in which case Maj. Bald win will get the place now held by Con gressman Charles H. Page, of Rhode Island, who failed of re-election last fall. Of course, if Mr. Page pulls through in the new election which will take place in the spring, some other ar rangement will necessarily have to be made. In any event, the western por tion of the Great-Lake district must be represented on the committee, and Maj. Baldwin will be the man selected. Hall on Way. and Means. The greatest committee of the house is that on ways and means, and it is an honor of no small proportions tor a member of many years' standing to se cure a place on it. Such an honor will, ' however, be bestowed upon Coin, ess man Hall in the next liouse unless all signs fail. By the retirement of Con gressman Shively, of Indiana, one va cancy is made, and there will be one or two others by virtue of the changes that will be made in the chairmanships. During the debates on the various tariff reduction bills at the first session of the present congress Mr. Hall delivered several speeches that were circulated in every state in the Union during.the last campaign by the national committee. Although Mr. Hall was an ardent Mills man in the fight for the speaker ship a year ago last fall, and Is still a warm friend and admirer of the great Texan, he Is regerded very highly by Speaker Crisp and all his friends, and it is believed that this appreciation will be manifested by the appointment of Mr. Hall to a place on the leading house committee in the next congress. In this connection it is not necessary to state 'that Mr. Crisp will be re-elected, and will not need to go through a contest to secure the honor. • With a Democratic house, senate and president, the ways and means commit tee will be able to make some recom mendations that will be carried into laws. On the inauguration of Grover ! Cleveland, the Democratic party will for the first time in thirty-four years have control of both houses of congress and the presidency, and, consequently, the power to carry through measures ; promised and-, advocated by the* i party. -'lt >is true that on March A, it will be * only thirty-two years since President Buchanan handed over the reins of government to Abra ham Lincoln, but the Democracy lost control of the lower house of congress in the elections of ' 1858, and when this was regained in 1874, sixteen years later, both the seuate and the presidency were in the hands of the opposition. Victory Came at Last, :! Holding the lower house, the presi dency was i really captured in 1876, but another man was ; seated. In 1879, how ever, the senate passed into the hands of the Democrats for two • years, giving them two of the three branches of the lawmaking* power. With the election of Gen. Garfield in lSßo_tUe Republicans secured both houses, but the perform ances ; of tho Kiefer congress, like its later prototype, the Reed congress, dis gusted the people, and for the next six years the Democrats had control of the lower house,*, during the last 1 four of whicii they had the presidency. But the senate was in the hands of the Repub licans through all this* time, a nd the tariff-reform measures passed by the house and favored by the president died in the upper house." Thus it will be seen that at no time 'since March 4, 1859, have the Democrats been able to carry a party measure or to fulfill any promises made in their platforms, while the P.pubMcans from 1861 down to 1875 held eve_y branch of the government, as they have for just four years since, the life of two congresses— from 1881 to 1883, and from 1889 to 1891. And the people who remember the looting of the treasury by the Klefer and Reed con gresses will not desire to see the same crowd in saddle very soon again. Since the election some of the Repub lican leaders have been expressing their fears lest the Democrats will not reduce the tariff. They say that they want the coming administration to carry out the platform pledges on the tariff question iv particular, affecting to believe that to fulfill those pledges every vestige of tar iff taxation must be wiped out at once. Of course they do not believe what they say, for they know that the looting of the treasury by the Harrison adminis tration has made it necessary fur the government to raise a large amount of revenue, so large an amount that some of it must come from duties on imports. But there will be a revision of the tariff, a wise revision, that will demonstrate to the people that the Democratic party is opposed to the policy that taxes 6*5, --000,000 people for the benefit of a few manufacturers. •<■ What Are We In For There will be a revision of the tariff because the Democratic party has prom ised it, and because Grover Cleveland has declared that he will again go into the office of chief executive for that very putDOse, and after March 4 the Democratic party and its second Jack son will be able to curry out every promise made the people. And this Is exactly what* the Republican leaders fear. The Republican party is notable to stand four years of Grover Cleveland when he is backed up by a majority in both branches of congress. With the failure of the attempt to grab up the Hawaiian Islands, which now seems certain, the present admin istration will go out of office pretty thoroughly discredited.: There is only one man who left Washington In worse shape, and this one Witts''-. John Adams, the second president, who signed commissions /placing his favorites in office up to midnight, and then, dropping the reins of government, hastened out of Washington by carriage through mud and rain to avoid welcom ing his successor, the founder of the Democratic party, the plain and un ostentatious Jefferson. President Har rison will be here to receive Mr. Cleve land and will not leave for Indianapolis until the afternoon of the 4th. He is not as proud and vain as the elder Adams." . While the condition of the treasury will for a time bring the financial ques tion Into prominence, the first great administration measure will be a tariff bill, which has B****SrV____ Already Been mapped Out, as Congressmen William L. Wilson, of West Virgiuia; Bynum, of Indiana; Hall, of Minnesota; Springer, of Illi nois, and Speaker Crisp could testify if they would. The bill will bear a re semblance to three of -the celebrated tariff measures discussed in the lower house in the last sixty years.- Free raw material will come first and go at once on the free list. Then there will be a Horizontal reduction, something after the manner of the Morrison bill, of about 20 per cent. Next following the tariff measures of 1833 and 1846, it will provide for gradual reductions extend ing over a period of years. If passed in this form it is believed that the ques tion will be settled for a number of years, as it wits for the fifteen years : previous to the war, when the country grew and prospered under the Walker tariff. President Cleveland has selected the members of his cabinet with a. view to the work that is to be done, and his selections are indorsed by the Demo crats everywhere. He will be backed by the Democratic members of the two houses as no president has been since Jackson. . Old Hickory lined up the party in his time for a struggle against the United States bank, and he throt tled the monster, and today all writers of history indorse him. It took courage to fight the Unfted States bank sixty years ago, and the . man for the place appeared. It took courage for a presi dent certain of a renomlnation and re-election to grapple with the tariff question as President Cleveland did in his celebrated message, aud the man who had the courage necessary then can be depended upon not to waver until the most obnoxious and unjust features of the present tariff laws are wiped off the books. Llewon*. OPPOSE THE BILL. The National League of America Issues an Address to Irishmen. Gladstone's Bill Would Be a Curse Instead of a Blessing to Ireland. New York, Feb. 25.— National League of America tonight issued an address to Irishmen. It is signed by the president, secretary and treasurer, and in part is as follows: When tho home rule bill was intro duced in 1886, and now, when, for the second time, a home rule measure has been placed before the British parlia ment, Irishmen are inclined to congrat ulate themselves on a 3eeming begin ning of an era of liberty, peace and prosperity for Ireland. Home rule for Ireland undoubtedly sounds well, but Irishmen should ponder before arriving at conclusions, and not allow a mere sound to set their sympathies above their reason. This measure can not be accepted as a. full aud complete settlement of the claims of our people, and we have no hesitation in declaring that, instead of a blessing, it would prove a curse to our country.* The assemblymen in Dublin would play the part of special constables. They would also be the tax gatherers. Ireland's trade would still remain under the finger of England. The bill is remarkable only for its limitations. The settlement of the land question, the crying question of the day in Ireland, is practically re served to the British parliament, and, even were it otherwise, the Irish as sembly would be powerless to deal with it in a "manner that would be satisfac tory to the people. It is absolutely. uu worthy of the traditions aud the wants of the'people. * *— Allen Reaches the Capital. Wasuixoton, Feb. William P.

POOLING VOID. An Important Decision Against the Milwaukee. '"'•*".■'. St. Louis, Feb. 25.— 1n the United States circuit court today, Judge Thayer ,on the bench, an important decision - was rendered in the case of the Central Trust company, of New York el al., vs. the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific rail way company etal. It came before the court in the shape of an intervening petit.on of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway company against the Wabash receivership to obtain posses sion of certain profits whicii accrued them in a combination of railroads under a .pooling contract. The Chi cago & Milwaukee people wanted judg ment in their favor on the ground that the pooling contract was binding in itself, and also because it formed a reg ular partnership, and that thus their pro rata share was due them. Judge Thayer delivered only a verbal opinion, for the -reason, as he stated, that an appeal was certain to be taken , in the case. He decided against the petitioners on their first maintenance, holding that pooling contracts are void,* because opposed to public policy; and also against them on their second, because the partnership issue revolved entirely about the que* tion of pooling.
