THE WILL WAS FORGED Chicago Puzzled by Latest De velopments in Scudder's Case. The Will in Favor of the Doc tor's Wife Is an Evident Forgery. It Is Strong and Regular in Language, but Weak in Signature. An Infant Slaughtered by a Five-Year-Old Fiend in Ohio. Chicago, March 4.— Who drew up trie forged will? is tonight trie first question in trie genuine Jekyll-Hyde case that is puzzling all Chicago. But for trie al leged discovery of Dr. Scudder's sur reptitious handling of the private pa pers of the rich woman lie is supposed to have assassinated, he might never have been suspected of crime. The forged will making trie doctor's wife trie chief legatee is in trie possession of Attorney Maun, who, with ex-Senator Doolittle, is representing the dead woman's husband and sister. Inspec tion today showed that it is not a bung ling job, and the interest in this was heightened by the fact that trie circum stances under which Dr. Scudder had trie paper drawn, if he did it, will likely go fat to prove or disprove his sanity and guilt. The document is in perfect legal verbiage, clear in all its provisions. It seemingly was prepared by a lawyer, and the question of trie at torney's identity and possible complicity Is being carefully put towards solution. In this connection it is noted that the paper upon wliich trie will is written ib of Peculiar Texture end extraordinary size. The dead woman's signature, it also appears, was Ciade "Elizabeth Maria Dunton,"-in stead of "Elizabeth M. Parker Dunton." Those who assume that the doctor is guilty of poisoning his victim and beat ing her brains out have the theory that lifter he had placed trie forged will among Mrs. Dunton's papers, and had succeeded in causing her death, lie be came worried about trie error in the signature, and it was this which led him , to feign illness, and remain at home during the funeral to seek to again get possession of the paper, an attempt which, it is alleged, tended more than anything else to arouse trie suspicions of the otlier relatives. It leaked out today that an expert to T'liom trie two wills were submitted before Dr. Scudder's arrest, ami who knew nothing of the circumstances of the case, decided without hesitation that trie two documents were not signed by tne same person. He declared one sig nature siiowed the tremor incident to old age or feebleness, and the other was firmly written, with forced attempts at irregularity of outline. Autopsy at Janesville. Jaxesvii.i.i:, Wis.. March 4.— Not Until 2 o'clock this afternoon was the coffin of Mrs. Frank Dunton opened. Then for the first time since her injury trie relatives saw trie dead woman's face. When trie body was placed in trie coffin at Chicago, trie face was kept covered at Dr. Scudder's instance, be cause "it was wholly unpresentable." As the body was placed on an operating table this evening it was seen that there were five wounds. One was across trie bridge of the nose and was a deep depression about an inch long by a half inch wide. Three were close together on top of the head, and might have been made by one stroke. The fifth was at trie side of trie head, just above trie temple. Trie ex amination was conducted by Dr. Henry Palmer, surgeon of the Wisconsin Na tional Guard, and Dr. C.W. Chittenden, both of this city. Late tonight Drs. Palmer and Chittenden began another autopsy. SCHEMER OR MADMAN, Dr. Scuddor Acts Funny, but Is Judged to Be Sane. Chicago, March 4.— The case of Dr. B. M. Scudder, who is accused of the murder of his mother-in-law, Mrs. F. H. l)unton, and who is confined at trie De tention hospital, pending an inquiry Into his sanity, was called in the insane court this morning, but on application by his attorney trio hearing was post poned one week, in order that an op portunity might be had to have him ex amined by experts on the subject. Mr. Dunton, by his attorneys, today pre sented a will of his late wife in court, and was granted letters testamentary under it. It leaves all of her prop erty, valued at £48.000, to her hus band, three sisters and two grandsons. Trie will which leaves some of trie property to Mrs. Dunton's adopted daughter, who is Dr. Scudder's wife, was mentioned by trie court, and the at torney for Mr. Dunton stated that he would avail himself of the privilege of not presenting it for thirty days. The attorneys claim that it is a forgery. By trie employment of a ruse a reporter managed to secuie admission to Dr. Scudder's cell in trie Detention hospital today. His inexpert impression as trie result of trie interview was that of "a man painfully sane and endeavoring to convey trie impression of insanity." When asked what he had to say to the charge preferred against him, he de clared tiiat there was no charge. He was then asked if he pretended not to know that trie charge was that of murdering Mrs. Dunton. ••Murder," he screamed. "It's a damna ble lie. I knew nothing about it. Oh, yes, 1 believe they did say something about mnrder, but 1 was too sick to pay any attention to it. Such an idea is nonsense, utter nonsense, I say. It is preposterous. It is trie result of a hell ish plot. Dou you think 1 would kill an old woman who had only a few months to live at best? Rot and nonsense." Then trie doctor took ou a .wild look, and accused trie reporter of being trie fiend who had leered at him through the bars of his cell all night. As soon as the reporter had left the cell, how ever, trie prisoner became perfectly Bane to all outward appearances. The attendant who accompanied trie re porter, a man of experience in such cases, gave it as his positive belief thai the man was sane. . Dr. Henry M. Lyman, an authority on Insanity, had an hour's interview with Dr. Scudd.r today. He declines to speak for publication about the case, but Scudder's attorney says Dr. Lyman is convinced of Dr. Scudder's insanity. r Hoavss Pleads NotlGuilty. BOSTON. March 4. — Dr. Nathaniel Ware Howes, indicted for alleged tan^ *^ pering with grand jurymen, appeared with counsel, of his own accord, before Judge Nelson, of tiie United States court, today.

After she bad gone Bud Harris, a little five-year-old negro boy, slipped in, carrying a bent and heavy piece of iron with a point.

Seeing the blood spurt, he fled to the yard. Tne child's mother having heard its screams, rushed back to the house to And the infant saturated in blood and dying. The boy murderer was found sitting on the ground at the front gate, a picture of innocence, digging holes in the ground with the bloody weapon, He frankly confessed to the deed. A DRESSMAKER'S TRICK. Hired Women to Come Over on Smuggling Trips. Chicago, March 4.— A horsewhipping here lias led to a government investiga tion into alleged wholesale smuggling of imported dress goods. Yesterday C. Wade, a young Englishman, soundly castigated J. A. Cummings, manager of Kate Reiily's fashionable dressmaking establishment in this city, claiming that Cummings had grossly insulted his wife, who was employed in his place. He also alleges that his wife and many other young women were induced to leave England by Kate Reilly's repre sentatives, who promised them large salaries, and also induced them to smuggle large quan tities of wraps and Parisian robes, wliich Mr. Wade claims was the only object in bringing them over. He lias lain this imfonuation before trie author ities, who have visited trie place and seized several robes,which,it is claimed, Kate Reilly herself smuggled into triis country. They proposed to make an inventory of all trie goods in trie place and seize all that have not paid duty. New York, March 4.— A reporter called at trie establishment of Mrs. Reiliy on Fifth avenue this morning, but .lie was in London. Her lepre sentative, in trie absence of Mr. Cum mings, was trie bookkeeper, a young Englishman who declined to give his name. He had heard, he said, of "the little fracas" in Chicago, but what it was all about lie hadn't the least idea. The charges by Mrs. Wade, who has been Mrs. Reiily's representative in the West for some months, were, as far as he knew, totally false. BOODLERS CONVICTED.

A Terrible Fate Overtakes Alleged Firebugs. - St. Louis, Mo., March 4.— At 3:15 o'clock this morning a tremendous ex plosion occurred in the storehouse of Marks B. Cohn, on Chouteau avenue.

The Speaker Makes It Plain to the Ex-Czar That His Day Is Over. Exciting Tilt in the House on the Question of What Is a Quorum. Gentlemen Are Not Present Under New Rules Unless . They Vote. Senators Vest and Paddock Open the Debate on the Pure Food Bill. Washington, March 4.— Greek met Greek in trie house today, and for trie brief space of five minutes a parlia mentary colloquy was witnessed which, in aptness of retort, lias had no pre cedent in the present session. On the one side was Speaker Crisp, who stands as trie sponsor, ot trie rules of the Fifty second congress, and on trie other was ex-Speaker Reed, who stands as trie de fender of trie rules and methods of trie Fifty-first congress. As might naturally be presumed, trie vexed question of "a quorum" and the construction and legal significance of this term was trie sub ject of trie controversy, and each gen tleman is tonight regarded by his par ticular partisans as having been trie victor. Almost without warning was the ex citing scene precipitated upon trie house. Trie entire day had been con sumed in the desultory consideration of unimportant private bills, and Mr. Kil gore, of Texas, made a motion that the house take a recess tili 8 o'clock this evening. On a division trie vote stood 85 to 84. Mr. Enloe demanded tellers, and, they being refused, raised the point that no quorvm had voted. "Trie gentleman from Tennessee," said trie speaker, "makes the point of noquorum on the motion to take a re cess. Trie chair will have to appoint tellers." The Forgotten Autocrat. "The gentleman does not make the point of no quorum," interposed Mr. Reed. "He makes the point that no quo rum has voted." "Under trie rules of the house and under the present admin istration of the house." said the speak er, "gentlemen are not present unless they vote." [Applause on trie Demo cratic side. J ___BIF__W-ggl "That shows, Mr. Speaker, that there has been a new system adopted since the last congress," was Mr. Reed's re ply. "That shows that the present oc cupant of trie chair will endeavor to en force trie rules of the house as they now "exist," retorted the speaker. "Nevertheless. Mr. Speaker," quickly replied trie ex-speaker, "the observation I made is entirely correct, namely, that the point that the gentleman from Ten nessee made was that no quotum had voted, while the speaker states that trie point lie made was 'no quorum.' My observation, notwithstanding that re tort of the chair, was entirely correct." "Perhaps it is," said the speaker with dignity, "but it is entirely out of order." [Democratic applause]. "It is entirely correct." persisted Mr. Reed, "and therefore the chair has no right to make such remarks." "The gentleman was correct, but at the same time he is out of order," observed the speaker." [Demands for regular order.] "1 was entirely in order when I called the attention of the chair to the fact." "Trie chair thinksmot." "Entirely in order," persisted Mr. Reed. "The chair thinks the gentle man is entirely out of order," reiterated the speaker. "There was no occasion for any such reply." "Trie point was made.not by the gentleman from Maine, but by somebody else— trie point of no quorum. The chair entertained the point, whereupon the gentleman from Maine made the suggestion." Stating the Difference. "And thereupon," interposed Mr. Reed, "I said to trie chair that the gen tleman made the point that no quorum had voted, and that the chair stated it to be trie point of no quorum, which is a different proposition; and I had the right to call trie attention of the chair to that. The chair had no right to make such a retort— even if he was supported by disorderly applause from his side, which he permitted." "The chair will state that there is n o distinction under the present rules of the house between trie point of no quo rum and of no quorum voting. There was a distinction between those two points of no quorum and noquorum present, as it was made under the rules of trie last congress." "1 want to say," said Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, "that the speaker is abund antly sustained by authorities in mak ing retorts to the gentlemen on the floor." [Laughter]. "Trie chair does not intend to recognize that," replied Mr. Crisp. During trie colloquy between the speaker and Mr. Reed, both gentlemen appeared to lose some degree of their customary.equanimity and tlieir retorts, though couched in polite language, were characterized by earnestness and some degree of warmth. After the Crisp- Reed colloquy, the house took a recess : until S o'clock, the evening session to be for the consideration of private pensiou I bills, bills removing political disabili ties and bills removing charges of de sertion. When trie house reassembled at 8 p. m. there was less than a quorum pres ent. Mr. Kilgor., of Texas.raised the point of no quorum, and after a fruit less attempt to secure one the house at 9:30 p. m. adjourned until tomorrow without transacting any business what ever. PURE FOOD BILL. Senators Vest and Paddock on the Skirmish Line. Washington, Marck 4.— A reminder of yesterday's vote on the Idaho elec tion case in trie senate was placed on Mr.' Dubois' desk in the form of a very beautiful bunch of roses. The vice president laid before the senate a com munication from the secretary of the interior in relation trie Yosemite park, in California. Trie communication was referred to the committee on public lands. Mr. Stanford introduced a bill directing the purchase ot silver bullion, and the coinage thereof. Referred. The pufeToou bill was then taken up, and Mr. Vest stated at some length his position in regard to it, and to such leg islation in general. He was aware of the sentiment worked up all over the country in support of the pure food bill. Granges, alliances and newspapers had all demanded, by petition or otherwise, the eu&ctmenfof such a bill. He be lieved that the constitution of the United Stales intended that inspection and quarantine laws should be in the hands of the states. The pending meas ure was one of that brood of bills that grew out of the feeling of paternalism which was spreading over the country. The people of the United States were being taught to go to congress for every ing— a million acres of land to a paper of pins. They were rapidly Laving their constitutional power taken away from them; and power was being vested in congress to day which had been intended by the framer. of the constitution to be left to trie states exclusively. He was proud to say that he believed in trie constitu tion as construed by the supreme court of trie" United States and did not be lieve in such legislation as was pro posed in the pending measure. He be lieved that that measure was a prostitu tion of the commerce clause of the con- ! stitution in regard to the exercise of the police powers of the state, and for that reason he would cheerfully cast his vote against it. Mr. Paddock denied the statement made several days ago that trie bill was aimed particularly at the cottonseed oil interest. He defied any one to point to one provision, line or word in the bill that discriminated against any honest I and honestly branded article of food in favor of any other such article. As -to the extravagant criticism that the bill would be used for imaginary political purposes, it was a serious matter (ho said) to charge, even indirectly, that those who were engaged in trie formu lation and presentation of the bill and' trie great body of the people who hon estly demanded its assage, -were moved chiefly by a desire to inaugur ate a cheap, hasty political sclieme for partisan uses.. If the bill was of the character described all who were Instrumental in pro moting it must have been moved by partisan motives. Such was trie loiri.al conclusion of trie assertion. No other was possible. It was a reflection, there fore, on state legislatures, boards of trade, great commercial associations, farmers' alliances, (.ranges and thou sands of other honored citizens all over the country who had' indorsed ' trie measure and agreed to its passage. That was not the kind of argument -which would satisfy the country that trie sen ators who made it were themselves moved by other than political or selfisn motives. In conclusion he appealed. to trie senate to help enact trie bill into a law. Eulogies were then delivered in re spect to the memory of trie late Kepre sentative Lee, of Virginia, and the seuate adjourned till Monday. STANFORD'S DILI/. Provisions of a New Measure to : Create 'Money. YTashixgtox, March 4.— The bill in-; troduced today by Senator Stanford to ; regulate trie purchase of silver bullion j aud its coinage directs trie secretary of trie treasury to purcriase from time to time such silver bullion as may be of fered at the market price, not exceed- . ing §1 for 37134" grains of pure silver^ and to issue in payment therefor legal tender money, of the United States 1 without regard to the material of which; it is composed." . A sufficient amount of such money is : to be prepared by trio secretary-' of the treas ury. ' The money issued in accord ance with the act is to be a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except where otherwise-:, stipulated in contracts, and is to be , re ceivable for customs,, taxes and all pub lic debts and is, when so received at trie treasury, to be reissued and is to -be counted by national banks as part of their lawful reserve. Trie secretary of trie treasury is to coin the silver bullion so purchased into standard silver dol lars to such ah amount as may be nec essary to supply trie general want or convenience of the government. Trie silver bullion purchased is to be subject to the requirements of the existing law and to trie regulations of trie mint service. All acts or parts of acts incon sistent or in conflict with the bill are to be repealed, and the act is to take ef fect thirty days after its passage. SALISBURY'S SUBSTITUTE. Last Year's Modus Vivendi Not to Be Renewed. Washington, March 4.— The fact was developed today that trie authorities had received notice that Lord Salisbury was unwilling, while the arbitration pro ceedings in the Behring sea dispute are pending, to renew the modus vivendi of last year. He is said to be willing,; however, to take the necessary steps for putting a stop, during the approaching season, to miscellaneous deep sea seal fishing within thirty miles of the Pnby-" loft' islands. It was impossible to learn ; at trie state department trie precise nat ure of trie substitute proposed by Lord- Salisbury. It is probable that this in formation received from London caused President Harrison to shorten his stay at Virginia Beach, and that he will re turn to Washington Saturday, instead of Monday, of lie had contemplated. It is therefore lidely that the treaty of ar bitration will be submitted to the senate early next week, possibly Monday. ' The course of the negotiations is being closely watched by trie members of the committee of the senate and house hav ing to do with foreign relations. . The members of trie congressional commit tee do not disguise their belief in pri vate that unless trie British government shows a disposition to join in trie work of protecting the waters of Behring sea from the poachers during the prog ress of the arbitration the United States government must undertake the task and execute the law which has notbeen repealed, requiring it to protect the seal fisheries. If this course is followed the situation will assume a phase very ; similar to that preceding the readoption of the modus vivendi last year, and the government will resume the policy of seizure of offending vessels, which' may lead to energetic protests and perhaps retaliatory action by Great Britain. r ' ; \ The joint commission on trie Behring sea fisheries held its final session at the state department this afternoon. After signing a joint report, embodying a statement of fac's as to all points con nected with the sealing industry on which there is no dispute, the commis sion adjourned sine die. Silver Purchases. Washington, March 4.— The treas ury department today purchased 475,000 ounces of silver as follows: Fifty thou sand at .9090, 100,000 at .9095, 150,000 at .9098 and 175,300 at .9099 cents per ounce. • Trie offers were 843,000 ounces. The ■ total silver purchases for the month, in cluding today, aggregate 803,000 ounces. — : — — — Undertaker Burned to Death. • Two Rivers, Wis., March 4.— H. . Willis, an undertaker and dealer in furniture in this city, met a horrible death this morning. He. went, to his place of business as usual, and a few minutes later was seen .running down the street shrieking at the top of his voice, and enveloped in a mass of flames. • He had not gone far when he dropped^ dead. A- visit to his ware rooms dis- ' closed a strong smell of burning var nish, shellac and shavings. It Is thought' the fire was caused by an accident, and that while Mr. Willis was endeavoring to extinguish trie flames, his* clothing caught fire, and he was on his way to T the river when he dropped dead. .v • DEFENSE OF IRELAND. St Paul's Archbishop Given an Official Indorsement by Pope Leo. An Inspired Letter Causes a Sensation in European Church Circles. The Distinguished American Prelate Sure to Wear a Cardinal's Hat. Idleness and Famine Are Breeding Revolution and Anarchy. RoME.Mardi 4.— A sensation has been created in church circles by the publica tion today in theMoniteur di Roma of an article, four columns in length, direct from trie Vatican, headed "Monsignour Ireland and Calumniators." It is known that the article is intended for an an swer, on behalf of trie pope, to the at tacks upon Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, which have followed that prelate from America on his visit to Rome. The archbishop lias been received with the greatest favor by the pope, who is said to be charmed with his visitor, and seriously meditates making him cardi nal of the United States. The assaults upon Archbishop Ireland appear to have originated in a difference of views as to his school policy, and to have become more acrid owing to the divergence between the American archbish ops, with Ireland as tlieir secre tary, and trie lay committee appointed in connection with trie proposed Cath olic church congress at the world's fair. It was claimed that Archbishop Ireland was strenuous in his opposition to discussion by the congress of church matters, and especially of education, and the reason suggested was that lie did not wish his own educational meth ods made the subject of review. The influences arising from these and Other Antagonisms have militated against Archbishop Ire land since his arrival in Rome, but ap parently without trie slightest effect upon his standing at trie Vatican, as trie article in trie Moniteur, inspired, if not dictated by the pope, goes to prove. Trie article professes to be an official and plenary defense, of the archbishop against his adversaries, American, Ital ian and German, and to be intended to silence, once for all, says the article, the passionate and contradictory attacks which Have for some time been coining to Koine, in a stormy cloud, from vari ous countries, upon the great American prelate who is now the guest of the pope. • The angry attacks and false report were coincident with the arrjyal of the archbishop in Rome., and accusations 1 were multiplied v with the evident purpose of; seeking- to establish a ■contrast between trie policy of the 'holy see and the apostolic action of -Archbishop/Ireland. The bad faith of these accusations was as visible as their object, but, trie article goes on to say, "They prove at trie same time that -we are in the presence of a perfidious campaign, marked by Machiavellian devices and strategic assaults often witnessed in the church. The calumniators find a field in the Vienna Free Presse .-: and the -Courier, del Mattineo of Naples, as well as among Protestant and Catholic journals in America and officious Italian and German advocates of the triple alliance. They say that Archbishop Ireland is Disloyal to the Holy See; that he is unfriendly to trie true and ef ficient independence of the pope, as though trie career of Archbishop Ireland in America, . and his notable utter lances iv his own cathedral and else ■ where, could be forgotten. They assert that trie archbishop opposes trie ideas of Pope Leo, whereas he is the most tar seeing admirer and most docile imitator of trie policy of his holiness, which is to reconcile and to pacify. The ideal of this distinguished archbishop has been to extend the influence of the church by taking advantage of the con ditions of the times; to fol low Catholic tradition without fearing changes in forms and situate Tons; to adapt the undying vitality of the Catholic faith to newly developed needs; to place religion above political parties; to unite instead of dividing, • and to imbue the young American re public with Christian thought, as Pope Leo. sought to imbue the republic of France. "Archbishop Ireland belongs,with his "whole soul, to the school of Pope Leo. "Archbishop Ireland's discourse at Balti more echoed the pope's social policy. He /is the most popular man in the United States, but his enemies would like to silence his powerful voice and .break his powerful influence. Then the [enemies of Rome would exclaim: -The pope is Behind the A.c, rand in opposition to the' most eminent "interpreter of Romanism beyond the At lantic.' Opposition to trie pope under ; lies the attacks upon the American leader, but his accusers cannot dark the glory of the church, and cannot lessen in the United States the empire of the archbishop; who is to remain the repre sentative ot; the influence of Leo XIII. and of Rome in trie young and- ro bust world where are being worked out new destinies for the church and for civilization. The work of religious conquest and of patriotic unification will be carried to a natural and fruitful result by the co operating forces of Rome and the Amer ican episcopate, despite the effort of calumniators to accomplish the impos sible result of estrangement from his holiness, an incomparable auxiliary." This article is considered all the more surprising as the critics of Archbishop. Ireland have endeavored to impress upon Rome the idea that the archbishop was not friendly to the restoration of the temporal power of the papacy. It is now acknowledged on all sides that Archbishop Ireland's prospects are ex-, cellent for a cardinal's hat at the next consistory. . . GERMANY'S DANGER. Unemployed Men Form Mobs and *■-*/.< Seize Food. • * Beiilin, March 4.— Since the disturb ances of last week in this city, the unem ployed "workingmen throughout Ger- . many have been in a state of ferment that would require but little to cause au open outbreak. There is no denying the fact that the condition of mechanics and unskilled laborers has reached such a state that the hungry men are capable "of doing most anything to get food for ■; themselves and those dependent upon them. With this state of affairs prevail-. Tug,- promises of help in the future do not tend to make the unemployed con- tent to suffer their present evils, and an outbreak therefore causes no great sur prise. A few months ago trie unemployed of Dantzic petitioned the authorities to furnish them with labor, no matter what it was, to keep themselves and their families from starving. Dantzic. which is the capital of the province of West Prussia, is a commercial center of no little importance. It has numerous breweries, distilleries, dour mills, sugar refineries and other works, all of which have felt the depression in the commer cial world, with* the consequent les ilt that many of the employes have been laid off to await the arrival of better times. In addition to these men a large number of others— carpenters, masons, painters, etc. — are out of work because of the depression in the building and allied trades, and consequently there iias been during the winter much suffer ing among ail classes of workmen. There seems to be no immediate pros pect of an improvement, and the pa tience of the men seems to 'nave about reached the. limit of its endurance. When trie deputation of trie unem ployed recently waited upon trie author ities, they received a promise that something would be done for them and today, in obedience to a notice. SOU men proceeded to the landing stage in the expectation that they would be con veyed to the municipal sewage farm and nut to work. When they arrived there, the officials picked out 220 men to be taken to the farms, and said that they were unable to furnish work for the others. Those who were refused employment were bitter in their de nunciation of the trick, as they termed it. that had been played upon them. Some of the men constituted themselves leaders and made violent speeches, call ing upon trie crowd to help themselves to food if trie authorities would not fur nish them with trie means of getting it. Trie impassioned words of the speak ers and trie presence of trie crowd itself attracted a "large number of the lower classes of trie city and the impromptu meeting soon degenerated into a mob. The excitement grew by what it fed upon and trie suggestion that food was plenty in trie shops was seized upon with avidity. Trie mob left the vicinity of the landing stage and in a compact mass rushed through trie streets, hurl ing imprecations at trie authorities and declaring that they would steal before they would starve. Every baker'- shop they came across they looted, and some of the gaunt, pale-faced men could be seen devouring the spoils in a manner which showed that they had not tasted food for a lorg time. Others placed the bread they had seized under their coats with. trie intention of carrying it to then wives and children. Loaded butchers' carts passing along trie streets were seized upon, their drivers bustled away and their contents hastily divided among the crowd. . The mob was constantly gaining fresh accessions, and the riot was assuming formidable proportions before trie police awoke to the fact that they must be up and doing if they hoped to successfully cope with the rioters. Detachments of police were hastily sent to that part of trio city in which the rioting and trie pillaging was going on. After a strug gle with trie rioters, who were inflated with their successes, and resisted the police, trie latter made -'a determined charge and succeeded in dispersing the mob. There is still much excitement among the workiiiginen, and. it would not be in the least surprising should further and more serious trouble occur. The news from Dantzic'- has had a very disquieting effect here, arid the affair is eagerly discussed in official circles and by the workingiuen. .'lt is taken to give further proof, if any were needed, of the bad state of affairs that exists throughout the country. A later dispatch says that, after trie speakers had addressed trie disappointed work ingmen, a majority of trie latter, with out heeding the appeals' to right their own wrongs, returned to their homes. Those who did the rioting and pillaging were, as in the case of trie Berlin riot, not genuine workingmen, but dock rats and otlier loafers, who were never known to do an honest day's work. That there is extreme suffering among the workingmen is evident to every one, but they are submitting to the inevitable with as much patience as possible and there is no reason why the responsibility for trie acts of trie lawless elements of trie city should be placed on their shoulders, as seems to be done every time an outbreak occurs. RADICALS ALERT. French Police Narrowly Escape Being Blown Up. Parts, March 4.— The efforts of the anarchists to create a feeling of panic among all classes of society which have incurred their 'displeasure .continue. Since the explosion in trie doorway of the residence of the Princess de Sagan Monday last, trie police have been un tiring in their efforts to discover the perpetrators of that outrage, but they have been baffled and are no wiser now than they were on the day of the explosion. As if to show their contempt for the police, the anarchists have teansferred their activity to the quarters occupied by them. Four miles north of Paris is the village of Saint-Quen-sur-Seine, which has a population of 11,000 people. Con siderable consternation was created in trie gendarmerie there this morning by the discovery of two dynamite cart ridges which had been placed in the doorway of that building. It had been raining during the early morning hours, and to this fact may be attributed the averting of ajdisastrous explosion. The fuses of the cartridges had been ignited, but trie rain extinguished them. The cartridges were powerful enough to have blown the whole police barracks to atoms. SHOCKING DISTRESS. Hundreds of Famishing People in WEBBS Vienna Cellars. London, March 4.— A special agent, who is inquiring into the distress in Vi enna, paints a terrible picture of trie destitution that prevails" in that city. There are many houses, he says, whose splendid exteriors give no indication of their miserable. interiors. Cellars in such houses, he affirms, are found crowded with starving persons who are out of work and others who are earning only a mere pittance. Hundreds are unable to pay rent and exist in daily fear of eviction. But, in spite ot all this misery, there is a total absence of evidence of vice among trie sufferers. Viennese Excited.

Northfield, Minn., March 4.— lt is doubtful if a city ever found itself in a like predicament with that in wliich Northfield finds itself. Trie city elec tion is set tor next Tuesday, but it is now found that trie candidates for of fices, nominated at a citizens' non-parti san caucus last week, were illegally made, and that, therefore, even if trie candidates were elected next Tuesday, they could not legally perform the func tions of tlieir offices. Trie law provides that nominations must be made by a political party representing at least 1 per cent of the voters of the political district, or the certificates of nomina tion must be signed and attested by at least trie above number ot voters. The caucus which was held styled itself trie Non-Partisan party, therefore, it was no political organization— making mistake No. 1. Then again, the new Aus tralian law provides that each certifi cate of nomination must be sworn to by the presiding officers of the convention, and neither was this done. In the third place, the law states that sample ballots must be placed on examination at least seven days before election, and this also was neglected. Statement of Thrift & Clarke.
