BISMARCK IS SULKY.
Serious Divergence of Views
Between the Chancellor
and Kaiser William.
The Emperor Demonstrates
That He Is Running the
German Empire.
Bismarck's Strange Reticence
Embarrasses Government
Candidates.
Socialists Continue to Play
Lone Hands, Staggering
Their Opponents.
Bi lu.iN-, Feb. L — Daily Incidents
strengthen the impression that there is
a serious divergence of views between
Prince Bismarck and the emperor, or
those having the immediate confidence
<>i the emperor, upon the proper course
of the government in some important
internal concerns. The prince's objec
tion to the ton<> of the speech from the
throne has b<-en commented on for some
days. The fact that the objectionable
part was the reference to labor troubles,
and that Herr yon Berlepsch has been
appointed to a place in the ministry.glv-
Ing him control of those things pructi
eally in place of Bismarck, seems .to
imply that the emperor intends that
those things shall be put in the hands
of one in sympathy with the
ideas set forth in the speech.
Within these few days the
emperor has received success
ively all tho leaders of the different
groups included in the Cartel coalition,
and be is in conference every day with
some prominent member of the govern
ment groups, having a free interchange
of views and communicating his own
ideas on tho proper management of the
elections. There is a very great con
trast between his
APPARENT SELF-EFFACEMENT
and his actual activity: and a yet
greater contrast between his demeanor
and that of Prince Bismarck, who,
though he has accorded interviews, on
request, to Herr yon Peunlngsen, Prince
Schoetfaich-Carolath and others, has,
nevertheless, maintained a singular ret
icence as to the policy to be pursued
in the elections. His silence em
barrasses the government candidates
as to the ground they shall take
in their campaign fuliuinalioiis,
and the prince has been asked to seize
the first occasion to make such a state
ment as would give to the candidates a
keynote for their programmes. Lie was
even specifically asked to take this lead
in the lower house of the Prussian diet.
He returned to this request an indefi
nite response, which left the impression
that be would make a declaration upon
the eve of adjournment at a conference
of the Cartellers. In the landtag to-day
it was announced that the chancellor
did not intend to address the house. All
this adds to the conviction that there is
a difference of opinion in high places
on internal policy, and suggests more
over, that the difference is ot a seri
ous nature. In consequence of this
statement it was decided to adjourn
the diet on the 11 th inst. until
the 23d. when the elections will be over,
and in the meantime to make another
efi'ort to induce the chancellor to give
a char note that should serve as a rally
ing cry to the supporters of the govern
meir.. The National Zeitung does not
give any insight into the intentions of
the government. It only continues to
proclaim the solidity of the Caitel com
bination, and to predict that there will
ultimately be a full agreement between
the government and the National-Liber
als on the
ixrn.sioN of the socialists,
but it avoids formulating any electoral
platform, indicating apparently that its
inspiration is only the let t-over thunder
supplied while the debate was going on
in the reichstag. and that it has made
the suggestions applicable to the actual
situation of things. Prince B smarek's
letter to Ilerr yon Nchloezer, the Ger
man ambassador to the Vatican, is pub
lished obviously to influence the
opinions of Catholic voters. It declares
that the government sees with pleasure
the establishment of Catholic missions
in German colonies, promises that all
religious orders shall lie admitted, in
cluding the Jesuits, and that all may
rest assured of the protection of
Germany. Cardinal Itampolla has
responded, expressing the extreme
satisfaction of the pope at this
step, and making his congratulations
■upon this further advance toward com
plete concord. The. .appointment of Yon
Berlepsch to be minister of commerce
and mines is regarded by many as an
electoral ruse intended to catch for gov
ernment candidates the votes of min
ers pleased with the fancy that the gov
ernment is ready to do great things for
them— to make a law that will reduce
the hours ot labor, increase wages and
generally protect the workingmen.
This-attempt at conciliation costs the
government but little, and indicates
mainly an endeavor to modify the. Cath
olic opposition and draw workingmen
with hopes away from the magnetic
agitators of the socialists. Forecasts
of the results of the elections are gener
ally to the effect that the German Con
servatives, the Reichspartei and the
Center party will remain nearly intact;
that the German liberals will lose sev
eral seats, which will go to the Social
ists. The National Liberals.
AIIE IN THE 6BEATEST DANGER,
as it is thought they will lose twenty
five seats. The socialists hope to in
crease their strength from eleven in the
last reichstag to forty-two in the next,
gaining six from the German Liberals
and twenty-live from the National Lib
erals. Overtures were madi- by Heir
Eugene Kichter and other leaders of the
German Liberals to the socialists upon
the proposition to act in concert and
agree that the National Libeials should
support a socialist where the combina
tion might then defeat a government
candidate, and that the socialists should
support a National Liberal in sonic
other place where the scheme would
apply. This sound political theory
was not favored by the so
cialists, who preferred to work
by themselves everywhere with
out relation to doubtful allies.
The now reichstag is convoked for the
middle of March. It is likely to present
a formidable phalanx of socialists, who,
combining with the Center party and
the German Liberals, will easily out
vote the government groups. The foi
etgn office regards the agreement be
tween the Germans and Czechs in Bo
hemia as a triumph for the diplomacy of
l'rince Bismarck and the personal influ
ence of Emperor William. Incessant
efforts have been made by Prince Bis
marck, through the Prince de Keuss,
the German ambassador at Vienna, to
induce Emperor Francis Joseph to
adopt a policy that should tend to re
cover for the Germaus the greater share
in the government of the Austrian em
pire. The semi-official declaration of
the facts nut forth from Vienna admits
that the foreign policy of the empire
weighed with the emperor as the main
consideration in the case; that it was
NECESSAIIY TO END KACE QUARRELS
to enable Austria to stand on an
equality with her alPes in the triple al
liance and be respected by Russia as a
soundly-constituted great power. In
consequence of the German triumph in
Bohemia a meeting of the emperors is
Diojected at Breslau. Emperor Francis
Joseph promises to be present at the
army maneuvers around Liegnitz
when Emperor William has his head
quarters at Breslau. Among the press
comments on the Samoan treaty there
appears in the Frankfurt Zeitung a no
table criticism on the adverse reception
©f the treaty by a section of the Ameri
can press. The Zeitung wonders that
any American paper could express dis
satisfaction, seeing . that . the United
States obtained everything it could
desire. The Zeitung has songht in
vain to discover any good ground
of discontent or any fair reason for these
utterances, and concludes that the only
possible motive for them is opposition
to Mr. Blame, and an opposition that is
not to be softened ■ whatever, he may
achieve. Col. Staffers pam pier, on a
Franco-German alliance, excites the
greatest interest. The Kolnishe Zei
tung says the idea that Germany would
buy peace from France by a cession of
the imperial provinces ot Alsace and
Lorraine is the merest chimera; that no
generation of Germany will ever dare
l cede an inch of German soil soaked
with the blood of its fathers. The only
value that.Stoffel's: argument lias, is in
the fact that now while his countrymen
in France are wild with Russomania,
he warns them against the danger of
Slavdom and the influence of a vast
barbaric state in the councils of Eu
rope. The Boisen Courier and the Na
tional Zeitung consider, this point, and
concurs thatStoffel's warning to France
against . .
AN ALLIANCE WITH CZA.RDOM
will fall on deaf ears now, as did his
warning in 1870 against the precipita
tion of France unprepared into a great
war. Emperor William will visit the
Danish court at Fredensberg and re
main there several days in June. ' The
empress and her sister Marguerite will
accompany him. The miners of Esch
weiler, having threatened a renewal of
the strike, the Nothberg miners took
the initiative and . struck . yesterday.
The master miners therefore decided \
that if the strike, extended they would
close the mines. The leaders " of the
men at once stopped the movement
and the Nothbergers resumed and will
not strike again until after the elec
tions. Ex-Minister Yon Puttkamer is
a candidate for Stolp, in Pomerania.
In addressing a meeting of vot
ers there, he said, he approved of the
Conservatives voting against the social
ist bill as it finally came before the
reichstag, because that law, without the
expulsion clause, was like a knife with
out a blade. He thought there was no
prospect that the new reichstag would
be more amenable than the last one was
to the views of the government; and
that if the country- was forced to do
without the socialist law, there was
reason to fear that the minor state of
siege would be replaced by the full ap
plication of martial law. As a matter
of principle, the socialist democracy
must be denied the right of existence in
any well ordered state.
A THREE-COKNKRED COMBINE
Establishment of One More
Through Line to the Seaboard.
Special to the Glob?.
Chicago, Feb. I.— Chairman Walker,
of the Interstate Commerce Railway
association to-day rendered a decision
which legalizes the establishment of
another through line from the West to
the seaboard. The Hues forming the
new route are the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha, the Minneapo
lis, St. Paul & Sault Ste Marie and the
Canadian Pacific, and it has been in
operation for some time toa limited ex
tent. The decision was rendered on an
appeal from a disagreement of the man
agers on the application of the
Omaha road to establish the
same through i rates on West
bound business from Boston and com
mon points to the Missouri river and
beyond as are made via the . lowest dif
ferential line either by way of Chicago
or the Mississippi river." Chairman
Walker manifestly hesitated to decide
in favor of the Omaha road, but con
cludes: "I see no escape from the con
clusion that justice to the Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway
company requires that its proposition
should be authorized, and it is so award
ed." The Chicago lines are much dis
gruntled at this unavoidable decision,
a? every pound of freight shipped over
the new route is exactly that much lost
to the Chicago roads. -v- * .
CUT IN FREIGHT RATES.
The Burlington's Latest Break
Feazes Its Competitors.
Chicago. Feb. I.— General Freight
Agent Uamblin, of the Chicago,
Burlington & Northern railroad, to
day gave notice of a cut in
freight rates between Chicago and St.
Paul to old rates ot 40 cents a hundred
pounds, first-class. The notice caused
something of a sensation by reason of
the lack of any previous warning. Mr.
Hamblin takes the ground that when
his company consented to adopt the
60-cent scale of rates at the urg
ent request of competitors, it was
with a desire to give the advance
a fair trial. Out that since then there
have been a number of reductions made
by the other Hues. The <>0-cent rate was
made to protect chiefly the interests of
companies having branches in lowa.
The Burlington & Northern has no lines
in that state, and proposes now to look
out for itself, regardless of the effect
produced in lowa.
THE GREAT NORTHERN.
All Employes, for the Present,
Will .serve as Usual.
General Manager Mohlcr, of the Great
Northern railway, yesterday issued the
necessary circulars addressed to all em
ployes of the newly-formed system, to
continue to servo in their various ca
pacities until further notice. The cir
culars read :
"Ail officers and employes of the operating,
traffic, engineering, general supply and gen
eral stores department will, until timber no
tice, perform their present duties as hereto
fore, under the existing rules."
President Minot, of the Eastern Min
nesota, has announced that after Feb.' 1
he will vacate the general manager's
chair in favor of General Manager
Mohler. No radical, changes in the of
fices of any of the lines in the combine
are anticipated.
Curt Reply to a Governor.
Chicago, Feb. I.— The letter of Gov.
Thayer. of Nebraska, demanding
from the railroads a reduction in
corn rates for the farmers of
his state, was replied to this
afternoon by Chairman Walker, of the

tion. Chairman Walker denies that the
railroads had concluded to dismiss the
subject. He adds that unanimous ac
tion has been taken in a direction of
which the governor will be duly ad
vised.

Abe Lincoln.
Lord Salisbury Preparing to
Relinquish the Portfolio
of Foreign Affairs.
Rio De Jaxeiho, Feb. There is a
ministerial crisis here. The trouble has
reference to the questions of financial
records, which do not at present seem
likely to be realized. Seuor Riberio. the
minister of agriculture, has resigned
from . the cabinet, and a new appoint
ment has been made. Senor Riberio
was noi well known in Brazilian poli
tics before he was ' called by Gen. De
Fonseca to the ministry. The cabinet
bad a meeting: which lasted until 2
o'clock this morning. After studying
fully the subject which gave rise to the
crisis the members of the government
arrived at a perfectly harmonious de
cision regarding the measures to be
adopted. It is said that if Minister
Riberio resigns, Francisco Grizerio will
be appointed in Ins place. The follow
ing letter is from Gaston De Orleans,
Count a'Eu, to the minister or war of
the republican government of Brazil:
Your Excellency: I beg that you
will accept the resignation I now pre
sent of my position as comniander-in
chief of the artillery, which I have held
siuce 1865, and at the same time grant
me permission to leave the country.
My conscience assures me 1 always loy
ally served the Brazilian nation to the
extent of my ability, and that I endeav
ored to be just to my subalterns. I take
an affectionate leave of Brazil, as also
of my fellow soldiers of • the Brazilian
army. Were it not that circumstances
against my will, and of which your ex
cellency is aware, compel me to leave
the country, 1 should be found ready to
serve, under any form of government,
this nation, which has received me as a
native for so many years, conferred
honors on me, and evinced towards me
a feeling which 1 shall never forget, and
the prosperity of which I shall always
sincerely desire.

Still the Government of Colombia
Is Financially Sound.
Pasama, Jan. 23.— Dr. Holguin, the
president of Colombia, publishes an ad
dress to the citizens in which, after ex
pressing pleasure that the past year has
been marked by peace, order and gen
eral advancement he says: "Notwith
standing the enormous deficit of up
ward of $0,000,000 which estimated re
ceipts and expenditures show, it is
satisfactory to note that an easy
condition of affairs is observable
owing to the correctness which has
been observed in receipts and expendi
tures, the economy which has been ob
served, and the suppression of j various
expenditures. We have been able to
pay otf all the important debts incurred
for public account, and to keep em
ployes paid up to date. Our export and
import trade has considerably increased,
due to the higher rates paid abroad for
out products, to the discovery of new
mines, and to the improved methods of
working them, to the increase observa
ble in all branches of industry, and.
above all, to the increased confidence
now felt that peace will prevail for
many years. At the same time roads
are being opened, steamers traverse the
Lebriji and afford means of transport
for the department of Sautander, while
cocoa and coffee plantations are being
formed, imports have so increased that
we have not the means to transport all
the merchandise; the Zipaquira rail
road has been commenced; the Sabana
railroad now reaches to Bogota; water
works have been built in several cities,
electric wires place the towns and
cities in communication, and electric
light illuminates several cities. I may
also mention that the many new houses
which nave been built in the capital —
where elegance and comfort are now
everywhere visible — the large sums
which are handled by the banks, the
high and well sustained value of the
paper money, are all matters tending
to give ail idea of the increase of public
wealth and the confidence the govern
ment has been able to inspire."
SALISBURY IS WORN OUT.
Exactions of Public Duties Tell
Upon the Premier.
Loxdo>\ Feb. 1. — Lord Salisbury has
yielded to the political pressure brought
upon him, and abandoned his proposed
trip to the continent for the present
at least. His health is very
poor, and it is believed that
at the cabinet council which is to
be held within a few days he will pave
the way for his early resignation from
the foreign office, the recent exactions
of which have told heavily upon his
physical and vital resources. Specula
tion is rife as to the cabinet changes
which will result from his withdrawal
from the foreign department,
but nothing worthy of serious
acceptance is evolved from the
labors of the self-constituted slate-
a leers whose vaticinations are as varied
as they are absurd. The Marquis of
Hartington will take his departure for
Egypt on Friday, to be absent indeli
nately. He has rallied . somewhat
from tho shattered state in which his
recent illness left him, but is still
greatly in need of the change he seeks.
He has deputized Sir Henry James to
act as the parliamentary leader, of the
Unionists in his absence, and instructed
him to consult with Mr. Chamberlain
upon questions of great importance.
The measure of Mr. Chamberlain's ac
quiescence in this arrangement is not
slated.
Parnell Is Still Lender. ■
London, Feb. I.— The impending
charge of Capt. O'Shea will not prevent
Mr. Parnell from taking part in the de
bates on the queen's speech, and he.
will still be recognized as the leader of
his party. At no time has the accept
ance of Mr. Parnell as leader been more
absolute than since the Pigott incident
made him look in the eves of the Eng
lish Liberal electorate like the victim of
a long-continued and gross injustice.
Cannot Be Convicted.
London, Feb. I.— The trial of Eight
Rev. Edward King, bishop of Lincoln,
on charges of having violated certain
requirements of the ritual of the Estab
lished church, will begin before the
ecclesiastical court next Tuesday. One
of the points of the bishop's defense is
that the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
primate of all England, has recently ob
served the same forms m conducting;
services as those which the former is
alleged to have practiced. v*.lt •is pre

bishop's acquittal. . v -;./.. v

Salt Lake City, Feb. I.— Ex-In- j
spector John Bonfield, the famous
Chicago detective, in an interview this
evening with Editor Dougal, of
trie Deseret News (Mormon), replied!
to the charges that there was a Mormon
plot to implicate the Liberal (anti-Mor
mon) leaders through detectives in a
variety of scandals and thereby befeat]
the Liberal party in the coming election i
in Salt Lake City. Capt. Bonfield
said: . "1 came here Incugnitio last
November at the instance of gentlemen j
tvho feared that the frauds at
the Ogden city election would be re
peated here. I was requested to do
nothing more than obt. in proofs of
election frauds. Conversing with Lib
erals or anti-Mormons they admitted
that the people's party or Mormons had
a majority of legal voters, but they
claimed to ' have the register courts,
the . election judges, the returning
boards, etc.. in the Liberal interest, and
meant to carry the election. I detailed
detectives to obtain evidence ot fraud.
One of them furnishing false informa
tion, I discharged. He went over to the
Liberals, and is illegally registered as a
voter. Indisputable facts from other
sources . show beyond doubt that the
registrars hunted up and registered
Liberals, but evaded the people's voters.-
Two went by special train to the Col
orado line and unlawfully registered
gangs at railroads and way stations,
turning many of the names over to an
other registrar not on the train. Hun
dreds of names of non-residents have
been placed on the lists, many never
taking the registration oath, and their
residences being omitted to make legal
objection difficult and prevent action to
get the names stricken off."
O'REILLiY'S BOORS RIGHT.
The Treasurer of the League Duly
Indorsed.
Detroit, Mich., Feb. I.— The report
of the auditing committee of the Irish
National league has been made. After
a preliminary statement the com
mittee says: "We learn that the
parliamentary party in Ireland- still
refuses to call a national convention in
America for reasons which . to them ap
pear entirely satisfactory and the wis
dom of of which your committee do not
question. We found a model system of
books kept by the treasurer. They con
sisted of a cash book in which the daily
receipts of money were entered, giving
the name of the party remit
ting, the name of the* organization
(if any) raising the money, ana the date
and name of the place from which the
remittance came." The committee
then goes on to say that the accounts
and correspondence of the doctor were
kept in a clear and orderly style, and
that everything is in legal and proper
shape. The .remittances to Ireland
were . $237,248.08. In conclusion the
report says: "We are led to say that,
upon the score of economy and honesty,
the league is to be congratulated on the
admirable manner in which its finances
have been administered by the Rev. Dr.
Charles O'Reilly, to whom a deep debt
of gratitude is duo for the onerous and
responsible duties so faithfully dis
charged by him. . >::.
Holland's Youthful Princess. ;f t
Paris Letter to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
The heiress to the throne, of the
Netherlands, the Princess Wilhelmina,
is a few months past her ninth birth
day. 1 As. the only queen regent of the
future, ; she is a very interesting
personage, the most important
young lady tnat now figures in
European politics. Young as she is,
the question of her marriagejias already
been mooted and widely discussed, aud
it is probable that very few more years
will pass over her childish head before
she will be solemnly betrothed to
some one or other of the many
pretendants to her hand. She is
at present a pretty, fair-haired little
girl, very closely and carefully guarded
by her watchful mother, Queen Emma;
who superintends herself the course of
education which is destined to make the
future queen of Holland one of the most
accomplished princesses of Europe.

A Hard- Working Actor. "'
Philadelphia Inquirer.
I No actor who has become prosperous
and prominent mingles so little with
the throngs in public places as Francis
Wilson. While his acquaintance is
of course very large, and he has in
this city of his birth hundreds
of friends - who have known him from
his boyhood, he has during the two
weeks in which "The Oolah" has been
performed here rarely been outside of
his hotel, except in going to and from
the theater. The secret of his se
clusion is that Wilson is as indefat
igable a student as if he had all his
future yet to make. Constantly he is
at work over his books or evolving
plans in connection with .his art. Al
most all the recreation he allows him

The Richest Actress.
New York Letter to Philadelphia Times.
1 saw Lotta during the week, and the
little actress seems to be enjoying her
rest hugely. Although the richest single
woman in the world who has earned her
own money, she does not seem -at
all burdened with business cares.
She has a hotel in Boston, adjoining
her Park theater, which she owns.
She figures among her assets a flat
house in New York and lots of real es
tate in different parts of the country
Yet she does not bother with its man
agement. Her shrewd mother, who has
saved all this money, takes all the re
sponsibility of its care and Lotta is left to
enjoy herself. After this year of ' rest
and pleasure in the United States she
is going to take a trip to Europe, and it ;
has not yet been decided whether she *
will work next year or not. She is old
enough and rich enough to enjoy the
balance of her life out of the theater.

' Af red Brown, a "professor of medi
cine," was yesterday convicted of prac
ticing medicine without a diploma and
using incantations and "hoodoo", meth
ods, and sentenced to three years im
prisonment and §70 fine. The plaintiffs
were Airs. Annie Smith and her rather,
John M. Burnite, of Franklin township,
this couuty. Their testimony showed
that Brown came to their home, and in
professing to relieve Mrs. Smith of pain
in her foot, annointed her body with
oil and gave vent to incantations which
she could not understand. He also
prayed while ascending the stairs back
ward, cooked eggs and, killed one of
their chickens by tearing . off its : head ;
with his hands. He claimed, by means
of a notched grapevine, to repel devils

work some kind of a spell upon her
which she was powerless to resist. He
received from them nearly $30 in money,

Indignant Kentnckians Maul a
Violater of Graves. '
Nicholasyille, Ky., Feb. I.—Ed
mund Martin, the proprietor of the
cemetery for colored people, has been
selling lots . for . burial purposes for
years. Recently the attorneys for the
Richmond, Nicholasville, Irvine ' &
Beattyville Railroad heeded * a strip of
ground sixty-six feet wide through the
cemetery for right of way, and Martin
sold the ground occupied by the remains
of sixty dead bodies without mention
ing the sale to any of the owners of the
lots. Martin began to remove the bod
ies yesterday afternoon, hiring a dozen
men to do the work. The news spread
last night, and this morning the wor k
. men .were met by an angry mob of men,
women and children and stoned out • of
the cemetery. For several hours Mar- 1
tin's life seemed in imminent danger. .
The people refused an increased sum
for the lots. : : '

LEIiAND IS HONEST.
Ex- President of the Sixth National
Protects Depositors.
.;- Xew York, . Feb. The following
notice was posted on the window of the
Sixth National bank at a quarter, to 12
o'clock: .: - ... : :
- Mr. Leland has advanced funds sufficient
to guarantee • payment of depositors in full,
at as early a date as proper arrangements cau
be made tor that purpose. :;■;_•. .1 '
A. B. nEPBTTKS, Examiner.
President Edward King, of the Union
Trust company, made , a statement this
afternoon as follows: "I desire to state
that, in my ; opinion, no one who knows
Mr. I. eland could question his entire
good faith and honesty of purpose in
the matter of the sale of the stock. He
feels; however, that |an error of judg
ment was committed by him in not
receiving ; sufficient . assurance as
to the standing and capability of the
persons to whom he sold, although at
the time he did sell he had perfect faith
that they were as represented to him,
and that,therefore,tbrough this want of
possible care on his part innocent par
ties have been placed in position to suf
fer loss. Hence as
• A MAN OF INTEGRITY
and honor he feels that it is proper for
him to do all in his power to save them
from the consequences of his act. He
sent for me last evening and requested
me to do what 1 could to assist him in
effecting this object. The first thing to
be done is to pay depositors in full, and
this is in process of arrangement. Mr.
Iceland has handed me a blank check
to my order to be filled out for such
amount as I deem necessary in order to
guarantee the payment in full of
the depositors of the bank,
and, at the suggestion of Mr. Tapp
man I have tilled it out for
$500,000, and have deposited that sum
in the Gallatin National bank as a guar
antee to a syndicate . which has been
formed to take the assets of the bank
and to provide for immediate payment
of depositors as soon as . the necessary
formalities at Washington can be gone
through with. There remains then the
minority stockholders to be considered,
and as I have said, Mr. Leland desires
to do all that a sensitive man ot honor
can do, and he has said he will
be guided very largely by the
advice of myself and other
friends in relation to this matter,
President Claassen, of the Sixth Na
tional bank, failed to -procure bail to
day, and was obliged to go to Ludlow
street jail until Monday. Broker Pell's
wife and sister offered to •go on Pell's
bond, but the wife's property did not
seem adequate, and the sister's property
is in New Jersey, and therefore not ac
ceptable in a New York court. Mr.
PELI, WAS RETURNED TO JAIT.,
but it was said that his wife would be
able to procure bail for him. The ex
aminers have not made public any new
facts they may have learned in regard
to the Sixth National, the Lenox Hill or
the Equitable banks. Chief Bank Ex
aminer Cahill furnished the press to
day with a statement of the affairs of
the Equitable bank. The assets are
8151,000 commercial paper of uncertain
value; 830,000 in Sixth National bank
stock, of uncertain value, and a few
minor items; total, $190,000. The lia
bilities are: Deposits, $31,000; due
to other banks, 196.000; cap
ital, *■■ ?100.000, and a few other
items; total, $333,000. The deficiency
is therefore $143,000; but there is also
cvi ence of a liability of $150,000 in cer
tification which do not appear on the
books. The examination is not yet
complete. Examiner 11. C. Covell also
issued a statement of the Lenox Hill
bank. It shows total liabilities, $549,
--292;'. total, assets. $370,675; deficincy,
$178,017. Mr. Covell thinks depositors
will get 70 per cent of their claims.
Bank Examiner Preston says no for
geries have yet been discovered in the
investigation of the two banks.
HOG PRODUCTS SCOKCHED.
Disastrous Fire in a Kansas Pack
ins House. .. :■;. :>' •■;,'
EJUTSAS City. Feb. I.— A. disastrous
fire occurred last night in the plant of
the Kansas City Packing and Chase Re
frigerator company in Kansas City,
Kan. The fire started at midnight in
the lard room of the hog killing build
ing, from some cause unknown. Be
fore it was discovered, the entire room
was in flames and by the time the fire
department arrived on the scene, the
flames had communicated through the
ceiling to the floor above and through
the story below. While the department
was fighting the fire in that quarter,
the flames spread to the building oc
cupied by the fertilizing department.
It became evident then that both build
ings were doomed, aud the firemen
turned their attention to saving the ad
joining buildings. In this way they
were successful, but the other two
buildings were wholly consumed. The
loss is about $100.000: fully insured.
SWALLOWED PARIS GREEN.
Failing to Obtain Work, a Girl At
tempts Suicide.
New Yokk, Feb. I.— Mary Beer, aged
fifteen, attempted suicide in a dime
museum at 531 Eighth avenue to-night
by taking Paris green. • Her father, a
! carpenter, had been out of work some
time on account of a broken leg.
He '. told Mary last week that she
ought to get work and help pay the
rent, or the family would be dispos
sessed. The girl went out, and came
back at night, saying she had obtained
work. She went out every day, but in
fact had not been able to secure em
ployment, and to-nightt, being afraid or
ashamed to : return home without any
money, she swallowed poison. She was
taken to a hospital, where it was said
she might recover.'
The Erin Has Gone Down.
Loxdost, Feb. 1. — Hopes had been
entertained here that the first vessel to
arrive from the Azores would bring
news of the safety of the National Line
steamer. Erin, Capt. Tyson, from New
York for London, now lone overdue.
These hopes, however, were dispelled
to-day upon the arrival of the British
steamer Gibraltar from St. Michael.
The Gibraltar states that up to the time
of her sailing, nothing had been heard
at the Azores of the missing steamer.
Traded Land He Did Not Own.
Kansas City, Feb. I.— J. F. Horrine,
of this city, was arrested late last night,
charged with swindling H. D. Stringer
and J. S. Warder out of $28,000 worth of
real estate. The latter gentleman asserts
that Horrine traded fifteen sections of
Texas land to them for equity in valua
ble real estate here. They claim that
Horrine had no title to the land in
Texas. : ...
