The Reichstag has passed the bill adding
3,500,000 marks to the already enormous
allowance of Emperor William. The in
crease was asked on the ground that the
present monarch was required to do more
work than his predecessors. Prince Bis
marck dines Lord Charles Beresford, and
tells him that he is willing to make a de
iensive alliance with England. A Berlin
paper asserts that the Samoan conference
will begin in that city next Thursday, with
the Secretary of the Legation as the Ameri
can representative. The Austrian succession
continues to be a vexed question.
tCOrVBIGHTED, 1SS9, EY Tilt XEW TOKK ASSOCI
ATES FREES.
BEBLnc, February 9. In the Lower
Houe of the Prussian Diet to-day the Em
peror's civil list bill passed the second read
ing, after a debate in which the Progressists
emphatically protested against the increas
ing of the imperial allowance by 3,300,000
marks. The minoritv against the bill in
eluded Itichter, Mnnckel, Halberstadt,
Ichmieder, Langcrhacs and Virchow. They
had no difficulty in proving that the wealth
of the imperial laniily is already enormous,
the Emperor having at his disposal not only
his revenue ot 13,250,000 marks, but also
other resources from his family domains.
The Hofkammcr, which administers the
domain, is charged with the care of the
Crown edifices, forests and lands, and the
collection of rents. The forest districts
alone cover 157,000 morgen, or 39.250 hec
tares. The farm lands are so extensive, as
to require division into 77 stewardships,
each comprising a number of farms. Fur
ther, the Minister of the Royal Household
has charge of the revenues of four seigno
ries, comprising other extensive domains
and farms.
THE EMPEEOR'S LABORS.
The supporters of the bill included all the
members of the Government groups. They
could not show any necessity for the in
crease of the imperial income. They rested
their demand upon the argument that as the
Emperor's functions and work were increas
ing, his revenue ought to be enlarged.
The Emperor, who took a personal inter
est in the progress of the measure, had a
telegram announcing the result sent him at
Potsdam, where he was presenting a flag
and streamers to the First Regiment, Official
Guards. The shape of the Government ma
jority was such that it would have voted a
much larger sum if requested.
The state or health of the Emperor is
again delicate. With the renewal of severe
weather, the ear trouble has been aggravat
ed. Dr. Bergmann has been specially
summoned three times this week. The con
stantly recurring earaches do not prevent
the Emperor's incessant pursuit of work
He rises at 5 o'clock II he is unable to
sleep during the night he writes notes on
hi' work. He always keeps pencil and
paper within reach of the bed. He makes
his children share his own severe regime.
SCIOXS OF EOTALTY.
The princes are roused at 1 o'clock, when
they take a cold hath. They olten break
fast with their father at 6:30, and their les
sons begin at 7 o'clock. The Crown Prince
has just obtained his first grade in the
army, having been appointed a gefreite, a
position similar to that of corporal. He
has now his own suite of rooms and house
hold. Twice daily he is instructed in mili
tary drill with his brothers. He is allowed
one and a-half hours daily for play. This
scheme ot lessons and life for each hour is
luridly executed.
Dr. Bergmann is reported ts have advised
the Emperor of the necessity of relaxation.
The Emperor in reply cited the time he
passed in joining in the children's play and
lessons as genuine relaxation.
Dr. Windthorst has given, notice that he
will offer a motion to insert in the acts reg
ulating the judicial condition of the coun
tries under German protection, guarantee
ing liberty of conscience to natives and for
eigners, the free exercise of public worship
and the right of missionary propaganda.
The motion has the semblance of a simple
declaration in favor of religious toleration,
but concealed under the recognition of this
general principle the Center party aims at
obtaining the assent of the Reichstag to a
Jesuit propaganda in the colonies. A simi
lar attemp't was made in 18S5, when the or
der of St. Esprit, affiliated with the Jesuits,
demanded the assent of the Government to
the founding of missions in West Africa.
BALKED BT BISHAECK.
Prince Bismarck then replied that the re
ligious orders forbidden in Germany were
prohibited in the colonies. The national
press, discussing Dr. Windthorst's motion,
declares that the attitude of the Government
will be found to be unchanged; that the
Government will not refuse the fullest lib
erty to the Catholic propaganda, but that
the Jesuits, being recognized as a danger to
German interests, in view of the society's
character as an active international agent,
cannot be allowed a footing in the colonics
that would open the dcor for their admission
into Germany.
Regarding the unsettled question of bi
metallism in the Reichstag, a majority,
composed of conservatives, free con
servatives and centrists, are not sat
isfied with the -waiting attitude of
the Government, and want the Chancellor to
initiate negotiations . for an international
conference on the ratio of gold and silver.
Should England delay acting on the recom
mendations of the bi-metallic members of
the English Currency Commission, and fail
ing early Government action, Herren Hell
dorf, Mirbach and Kardorff will, on the re
opening of the House, introduce a resolution
calling upon the Governmentto convoke a
conference.
SILVER AKD GOLD.
During Thursday's debate Herr Bam
berger made.a powerful statement in support
of the gold' standard. He held that the
present prosperity of Germanv was greatly
due to the abandonment of bi-metallism,and
showed that the country held gold stock, in
cluding the bullion in the Reichsbank and
private banks and the war treasure ou
the Fortress Spandau. amounting to 800,
000,000 mark?, the licichsbank alone hold
ing 400,000,000. Business, especially finance,
was booming, he said, and all countries were
coming to Germany for loans.
His arguments failed to impress the ma
jority in favor of bi-metallism, which is de
termined to push the question to a division
ol the House. The position of Herr Scholz,
Prussian Minister of Finance, is seriously
menaced, owing to his advocacy of the gold
standard.
Bofh the Emperor and Prince Bismarck
have held long conferences with Lord Charles
Beresford, and the Emperor has given him
and the chiefs of the German navy a ban
quet. During the interview the conversa-.
tion turned upon England's state of prepara
tion for a war against the combined naval
forces of France and Russia.
THE TVILY CHANCELLOR.
Prince Bismarck, it is reported, advised
Lord Charles that an Anglo-French war was
nearly as probable as one between France
and Germany, and that if the Boulanger
clique saw a possibility of beating En
gland by a sudden attack, thev would pre
fer the risk to taking the chances of the ter
rible results ot defeat by Germany. Prince
Bismarck declared his readiness to conclude
a defensive alliance with England. He told
Beresford to strongly represent to his Gov
ernment the urgent necessity that England
should put her house i order.
The Xorth German Gazette, recurring to
the Senart incident, explains that the Ger
man Embassy in Paris acted upon a decree
from the Chancellor, prohibiting the grant
ing of passports to French officers on the
active list. After referring to the militant
attitude of the French press and to
"Draconian ordinances with reference to
espionage, which render it impossible for a
German officer to enter France, the Gazette
adds:
As we have had to abandon hope for a more
peaceful disposition on the part of our neigh
bors,"we act without hate or anger, and only
from political considerations, according to the
laws of reciprocity.
THE AUSTRIAN SUCCESSION.
In discussing the Austrian succession,
the general press expresses the opinion that
Emperor Francis Joseph will recognize the
validity of the provisions of the Pragmatic
sanction, that only in case of the total ex
tinction of the male line shall the suc
cession devolve upon a female.
Vienna court advices assertjthat Emperor
Francis Joseph avoids facing the succession
difficulty, Archduke Francis, the pre
sumptive Crown Prince, who is highly
esteemed by the Emperor, suffers severely
from epilepsy. He himself desires to live
in quietness "and obscurity. The Emperor
detests ArchduKe Otto, the scamp who so
brutally treated his wife, Princess Marie, of
Saxony, that she recently entreated her
relatives to give her shelter and to procure
for her a separation.
The equipment ot the East Africa expedi
tion includes 12 Krupp guns ot light cali
ber. The Prussian railways will reduce the
freight tariff for export goods on April 1
about 39 per cent.
SAMOAN CONFERENCE.
The Kreuz Zeitung says the Samoa con
ference will begin on Thursday next, and
that the United States will be represented
by Mr. Chapman Coleman, First Secretary
of the American Legation.
The public prosecutor has rescinded his
order confiscating the number of the
Deutsche Bundschav, which contains Prof.
Geffcken's extracts from the late Emperor
Frederick's diary. The action brought by
the family of Prof. Gerfcken for the pur
pose of placing him under tutelage has been
withdrawn, the professor's nervous balance
having been restored.
The nnmber of the Contemporary Review
containing the article entitled "The Bis
marck Dynasty," circulates freely here.
.So order to confiscate it has been issued.
The article is treated with contempt by the
newspapers, both Conservative and Lib
eral. EI0TIXG LV E0ME.
A Panic Caused by Unrnly Hordes or Unem
ployed Workmen.
Rome, February 9. A panicky feeling
prevails in this city owing to the riotous
demonstrations by the unemployed work
ingmen. The stores opened early, but soon
closed. This forenoon 300 workingmen as
sembled in the Piazza Dante, but a force of
cavalry charged upon and dispersed them.
A large number of arrests of disorderly per
sons have been made.
Dctachmentsof infantry have been placed
on guard at the banks arid large buildings
to protect them against the rioters. The
Government is taking the strongest meas
ures to repress the demonstrations. It was
raining heavily all mornintr.
In the Chamher of Deputies, to-day, Sie
nor Bonghi and other members censured the
authorities in connection with the labor
riots. Prime Minister Crispi, replying,
blamed the Commissioner of Public Safety
for culpable lack of presence of mind. He
announced that he had given stringent
orders to prevent all meetings of working
men. The Government, he said, was warned
some time ago that the present agitation
would occur either in February or March.
Hinting that the Socialists were at the bot
tom of the trouble, Signor Crispi said that
the Government would know how to do its
duty.
Signor Costa, a Socialist depnty, began an
angry protest, but his voice was drowned in
cheers. Sicnor Bonghi then moved a reso
lution expressing confidence that the Gov
ernment would take energetic measures for
the repression of the agitation. Debate on
the resolution was postponed until Thursday
next.
DE LESSEPS CONFESSES DEFEAT.
The New Panama Cannl Company is an
Acknowledged Failure.
Paris, February 9. M. De Lesseps has
sent a circular letter to the subscribers of the
new Panama Canal Company, in which he
says:
The law regarding the formation of com
panies requires the deposit of one-quarter of
the share capital. This condition has not been
fulfilled by the subscribers for the new issues
of shares. It cannot, therefore, constitute a
company for the completion ot the Panama
Canal. It will now be necessary to leave to the
liquidator the care of onr interests and the
destiny of a work which must yet be completed,
"We nill show our confidence by calmly await
ing the decision of the liquidator.
O'BRIEN SUMMONED AGAIN.
And Father ItlcFnddcn to he Charged With
Complicity In Murder.
Dublin, February 9. Mr. O'Brien has
been served with a third summons under
the crimes act. It is stated that he will be
removed from Clonmel to the Tralee jail on
Monday.
Father McFadden was escorted from
Gweedore to Londonderry by police. En
gineers and skirmishers at intervals of 300
yards watched the route, in oider to prevent
the rolling of boulders upon the railway.
Father McFadden will be charged with
complicity in the murder of Inspector
Martin.

The Ameer of Afghanistan Masses 20,000
Troops to Pursue Ihnk Khnn.
Moscow, February 9. The reidomotli
states that the Ameer of Afghanistan has
collected 20,000 men on the frontier, with
the intention of pursuing Ihsak Khan. He
has, the paper says, made futile attempts to
secure the co-operation of the Ameer of
Bokharra in a movement against Russia.
When this fact came to the knowledge of
Russia she notified England that it would
be to the interest of both powers to prevent
the Ameer from taking any precipitate
steps.

Workmen Bin Into n mysterious Cave In
tho Roar of a New York Tenement A
Lot of Damfoundcd Plumbers No
Solution of the Mystery.
rSrZCIAI. TELIGIU.M TO THE DISPATCH. 1
New York, February 9. The house at
309 West Twenty-seventh street is an un
pretentious brick structure of four stories.
The first floor is used as a barber shop,
the others are occupied by families,
some of whom have been in the
house for years. George Keyes, a
retired merchant, owns the house. Mr.
Keyes carried on the drygoods business for
a number of years at 351 Eighth avenue, in
a building that is now used for a museum.
It extends westward 125 feet, and
tor 30 feet or more its south
ern wall forms the rear wall of the
house at 309 West Twenty-seventh street.
Back of the latter is a quadrangular yard,
which may be reached through the rear door
of the barber shop, through two hallways
on the floor above and through tne museum
building.
Why two halls were built in the house at
309, side by side and separated only by a
brick wall six inches thick, none of the
tenants seem to know. Both halls
run through the house lrom front
to rear. One ii like an ordinary hall,
and has a stairway that gives access to other
parts of the building. The other has no
stairway, and was apparently designed
solely to afford private entrance to the
yard.
Plumbers excavating in the little yard at
the rear of the bouse to-day came upon what
appeared to be a brick arch. JohnMaIey's
pick struck it first. He and his companions
drilled a hole in the bricks, and a ten-foot
pole easily disappeared through it. A walk
leads from the rear of the house across the
yard. It is composed of flagstones each 'ii
by 5 feet and i4 inches thick. One of
these stones the plumber pried up. Be
neath it they found a broad flight of slime
covered steps, leading into a subterranean
chamber. 'Into this the plumbers descended,
but having no lights they were unable to
explore it.
News of the discoverv speedily got abroad
and set the neighborhood agog with curi
osity. The chamber was explored this
afternoon. The light showed it to be
a vaulted structure, about 10 feet
high, 20 feet long and 10 feet
wide, built sol.dly of stone . and
brick masonry. The roof was pierced by
two circular holes, once intended, no doubt,
to admit light, and, perhaps to
serve other purposes. The first dis
covery was an old whisky, barrel, empty,
worm-eaten, and covered with mold. Ap
parently it had lain in the dampness and
darkness for years. There was nothing else
to bear out the theory that the plate might
have been used for a still.
There were various evidences that the
chamber had been used years ago for a work
place of some kind. It was suggested that
it might have been a dissecting room, but
the policeman was positive that there had
never been either a medical college or a
hospital anywhere in the neighborhood. A
dozen other theories were advanced, but
there was nothing to support any of them.
Hugh McCreedy, a tenant, was questioned,
but, although he' has lived in the house
more than 20 years, he never suspected the
existence of the underground chamber until
to-day. The other tenants know no more
about it than Mr. McCreedy.
THE ABDDOfOES AERESTED.
Little Annie Redmond's Captors Tell Re
mnrkably Conflicting Stories.
Chicago, February 9. The police to
day arrested Mr. and Mrs. Gurley, the ab
ductors of little Annie Redmond. They
were found la a house on State street.
When questioned by the police, Mr.
and Mrs. Gurley declared that the
child was abducted by a woman named
Maggie Gordon. Mrs. Gurley declares that
Maggie gave her the child, saying that it
was hers (Mrs. Gordon's), and that she was
unable to care for it Mrs. Gurley further
alleges that whiic she knew Mr. Red
mond she did not know this was his
child. Had she done so she should
have returned it p him at once. Mr.
Gurley says his wife broughtthe child home
one evening and told him it was hers by a
former husband. He learned afterward that
she had never been mariied before.
The police authorities sent officers to the
place mentioned by the Gurleys as
the abode of Maggie Gordon, but could
find no trace of her there. No one in the
neighborhood knew any such woman. The
police do not credit Gurley's story This
afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Parson's mother
and stepfather of Mr. Gurley, were arrested
in Engleirood and brought to the city. An
afternoon paper has started a fund for the
benefit of the Redmond family.
A WAR OF RELIGIONS.
Canada Agitated by the Propositloo to In
corporate the Jesuits.
Ottawa, Ont., February 9. The incor
poration and endowment of the Jesuits in
the Province of Quebec may bring about a
political revolution in Canada, and there is
talk of civil war and cries of "Protestants,
awake!" The moderator of the General As
sembly of the Presbyterian Church is out
with a letter in which he says that anxious
eyes are turning to.annexation as a means of
relief. The act contains civil recognition of
the supremacy of the Pope and public feel
ing in Ontario only waits a leader to find
forcible expression.
The Toronto Hail appeals to the Protest
ants, crying: "The enemy, incorporated,
endowed and fully equipped, is at your
gates." "The vindication of Protestant
liberty may," says the World, "involve the
reconstruction of Quebec. So much the
better. Rome is working its will in Canada,
and the Pope is asked to sanction Canadian
legislation." To-njght, Barron, the mem
ber from Ontario, in the Commons gives
notice of his intention to bring up this mat
ter on Tuesday, and everyone is discussing
what attitude Premier Macdonald will take.
He has no less than six Roman Catholics in
his Cabinet of 13.

(SPECIAL TELEGEAM TO THE PISPATCH.l
Wilmington, February 9. Seven white
and four black convicts were disciplined at
New Castle to-day. Two Philadelphia
burglars "Broken Nose" George and Curly
Harris, stood one hour in the pillory and
took 20 lashes each for their attempt to
rob Hart & Brothers' safe in this city a few
weeks ago. Three negroes for petty burg
laries, took the same punishment, and six
other convicts five lashes each for petty
larceny. There was a large crowd present.
Queer Things do Happen in Baseball.
Medicine Hat Times, 3
A game of ball was played in Donald.
The weather was quite cold and the base
men used gloves. At the end of the sixth
inning the game stood 3 to 2 in favor of the
second nine. In the seventh inning' the
second nine made another run and retired.
Thejurst nine went to the bat, securing a
score, and had three men on bases. Austin
then grabbed the willow and knocked several
fouls over his left shoulder, when a dense
mountain fog swept down on the field and
he raised the sphere into the mass of falling
clouds. Before the ball started downward
the weather suddenly turned strikingly cold
and the ball was actually frozen into the
clouds and carried East to Medicine Hat,
where the frozen fog struck a Chinook and
the ball fell to the ground in front of the
Times office.

General Harrison Makes a Touching Address to a
visiting Clnb.
All advices from Indianapolis show that
Blaine is slated for the State Department.
His formal acceptance is expected shortly.
The other positions are still in doubt.
Wanamaker, Miller and New are regarded
as probable members. The Navy will go to
Pennsylvania or New York. The Tippeca
noe Club presented General Harrison with
an elegant Bible, and he responded in a
very impressive manner.
rSFECIAI. TZIJ.GHAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. 1
Indianapolis, February 9. The Blaine
hitch is unhitched, according to advices
received here to-day from one of Blaine's
best friends. The telegram is explicit
enough to make it certain that Blaine has
accepted the tender of the portfolio of the
State Department, The letter of acceptance
is said to have been sent within a day or
two. The bottom has dropped out of the
"Windom boom here, and it is heard of now
only in the shape of echoes from the East,
In its place has started something even
sillier, a Plumb boom. Some peopletalked
with the Kansas delegation before it went
away, and they are confident that they have
a straight tip that General Harrison prom
ised the Kansas people that Plumb should
be the man. Other new names for the
Treasury are being suggested, but John C.
New remains the only man whose appoint
ment is apparently contemplated. The next
Secretary of the Treasury may be one of the
Cabinet surprises that General Harrison's
intimates have been promising the country.
WANAMAKEtt'S CHANCES.
It is said here to-dav. on information
from "Washington, that John "Wanamaker
has not bought a house there after all, and
the Hoosiers who always have insisted that
"Wauamaker was not going in, regard this
news, as significant. The best Informed
men, however, count "Wanamaker as a
certainty along with Blaine.
Indications here are still in favor of Mil
ler, and against Piatt, as the New York
representative, with Evarts for an Attorney
General compromise still in the air. The
story that Miller can have his choice be
tween the Department of Agriculture and
the Navy Department is believed here. It
is considered nearly certain that either
Pennsylvania or New York is to get the
navy.
There has been considerable talk from
time to time about United States District
Judge William A. "Woods, of this city, as
a Cabinet possibility, his namehaving'been
mentioned first in connection with the At
torney Generalship, and latterly with the
Treasury Department. He stated to-day to
a gentleman that he had no Cabinet aspira
tions, and certainly expected no tender of
any kind, even intimating that he should
feel it a dnty to decline any such honors
were they proffered.
TOKAKEK ON HIS EAB.
The news the Republicans in to-day's
delegation and other Ohio Republicans who
have come here lately brought was of a
nature to discourage General Harrison, if
he has had any thought, as some assert, of
putting ex-Governor Foster in the Cabinet,
The mere suggestion of such a thing haS'set
the Foraker do&s to barking all over again.
They had hardly quieted down yet after
their row over the possible taking of Sher
man into the Cabinet.
Foster's name was suggested as that of a
man upon whom the differences among
the Ohio Kepublicans could, be com
promised, but' from the noise of
the Foraker howling it is apparent
that the idea was a- vain one. Foraker's
fire alarm will continue to ring in the night
and daytime, too, whenever any other Rfc
puUican is mentioned for office", until there
really does come a big conflagration and
sweep the whole affair out of existence.
The "West Virginia situation is being
closely watched,as there is an idea upon its is
sue depends the decision of whether Nathan
Goff or General James H. "Wilson shall be
Secretary of "War. The Interior Depart
ment is being generally assigned to the
Pacific coast, and to Swift, although Estee's
friends are making the most noise. There
is no prospect that the Cabinet will be com
pleted until within a few days of March 4.
THE FINEST BIBLE MADE.
General Harrison has a new bible to use
at morning pravers when he gets to "Wash
ington. It is alleged to be the finest bible
in the country, and it was given to him to
day by the Marion county Tippecanoe Club.
In place of registering births.deathsand mar
riages in the family, the big book contains
the signatures of about 125 living members
of the club, and the names of 130 other vet
erans of the campaign of 1840 who are now
dead. The book was made up on the order
of the club,, and for two weeks' past has
been on exhibition here while the veterans
were getting the names signed in it and all
the other preliminaries to its presentation
attended to.
This afternoon about 100 members of the
club met at the Mayor's office, where the
book had been taken, and at 3 o'clock they
reached General Harrison's residence, the
costly volume carefully hugged in the arms
of one of the . sturdiest veterans. After
forming in linein a side street they marched,
up to the house and crowded Into the par
lors. "When they were all in and had
shaken the hand of the President-elect, the
Rev. Henry Day made a speech, in which
he said:
YouTiave long since felt that there is in the
world but one book of infinite value, a book
without which men are ignorant and helpless,
but with which they are furnished for every
great emergency and every high duty; a book
whose pages are stored with untold wealth for
time and eternity, which, therefore, by com
mon consent is called the Bible.
SLIGHTLY EULOGISTIC.
The Tippecanoe Club of Marion county,
which delights to honor the very name you
bear, begs your acceptance of a copy of this
priceless book. General, you will find many of
our names upon certain of these pages. Should
yon notice in our penmanship some lack of
elegance, webegyon also to notice that, though
the half century since we were young may
have taken much of the cunning from our fin
gers, it has by no means chilled the warmth of
our hearts, or made them ono whit less loyal to
the principles we espoused so inanv years ago,
ana to yourself, their illustrious "representa
tive. The congregation of gray beards was a
little restive before the minister was done,
but they all listened motionless as General
Harrison replied:
Dr. Day and My Venerable Friends:
Since the organization of this club, tn 1SS6.
yon have given me very many evidences of
your respect, and very many of vour affection
ate regard. You have witnessed to me not only
your confidence injmy capacity to discharge
public duty, but you have shown that I had
also an affectionate place in the personal re
gard of each of you. But of all these evi
dences this parting and this precious and
suggestive gift Is the crown.
I shall presently cease to be your neighbor
for a time, and those years, though not many,
will not improbably close the earthly career of
some of those into whose faces I now look.
This parting is to me full of pathos. The oc
casion is too solemn and too touching for
speech. But the bright day without gives tes
timony that even winter days may he genial
and full of sunshine, and this I hope has been
and will be realized by everyone of you.
HIS FUTUBE HOPES.
I shall lean upon yon and upon that great
company of our patriotic and God-fearing peo
ple, whom you represent. I cannot hope to es
cape just criticism in the discharge of the enor
mous and complicated duties which are soon to
devolve upon me; but I do hope that I shall es
cape fatal error, and that it will appear, when
my inadequate and brief work is done, that I
have set before me, as the polo star of public
lite, a patriotic purpose to promote the true
glory of our country and tho highest good of
onr people. God bless you, every one. May
the consolations of this Holy Book fill your
lives with peace and make the last the best day
of all your honorable lives.
At the conclusion of the General's words
the veterans, manv of them trembling with
emotion, passed along, and clasping the
General's hand in silence, took their leave.
The scene was probably the most solemn
and pathetic ever witnessed in General Har
rison's house.
Another'delegation'that visited the President-elect
to-day was from Cincinnati, and
included Mayor Smith, of that city; Presi
dent Morrison ot the Board of Trade;
Charles Neilson, a railroad superintendent,
and Andrew Hickenlooper. all well known
citizens, but not all Kepublicans, and not
upon political business. Cincinnati is dis
turbed by .the announcement that General
Harrison ls'going to Washington by a route
outside of that city, and to-day's delegation
was sent here to request him to reconsider
the matter, go by way of Cincinnati, stop
off in that city, and accept a reception at
the hands of an enthusiastic populace.
General Harrison promised . to take the
proposition under consideration, but there
is -no prospect that he will make any changes
in his arrangements for going East.
HARBISON'S PICTTBE.
A copy of the latest picture of General
Harrison has gone to "Philadelphia to be
used in the mint there in making a die or
plate, which may be used at some future
time upon Government currency or bank
notes. Charles E. Barker, of the mint,
wrote to General Harrison some days ago
asking for a picture for this purpose. One
was sent him, but he objected to it because
it was not a profile view, so recently the
the General sat again, and this time for a
'profile picture.
A good likeness was secured, butnot avery
fine looking picture, as the good points of
General Harrison's face are lost entirely in
a profile. The Indianapolis photographers
are to have still one more shy at the Harri
sons before they go to "Washington. It is
-said a partial promise has been given that
the whole family will sit at one of the gal
leries for a group picture before they start
East.
Among the other callers to-day were "W.
A. Pledger and another colored man from
Georgia. Pledger was one of the delegates
to the Chicago Convention. It is believed
they came to talk in the interest of Colonel
A. E. Buck, of Atlanta, for a place in the
Cabinet.
A GRAND CRASH.
The Ohio and Western Coal and Iron Com
pany Fails.
Columbus. O., February 9. The Ohio
and "Western Coal and Iron Company has
failed. Clidden & Curtis, the Boston bank
ing firm, which collapsed a few
days ago, was backing the company,
and the embarrassment of the
bankers through the Pacific Guano
Company's misfortunes is supposed to have
brought about the crash in the affairs of the
Ohio Company. Attachments were issued
to-day against all the company's Columbus
property by the Hocking "Valley Bailroad,
whose claim is for $21,500. Other suits have
been filed by parties residing in Cleveland
and elsewhere.
The company has been doing business, a
heavy business, in the manufacture of iron,
and its furnaces in the Hocking Valley are
among the largest and best in the "West. It
is claimed that the assets are large, but that
for some reason the company has been un
able to collect on acconnts long since due,
and that the Boston failure may have only
hastened an inevitable crisis. The company
was capitalized for 3,000,000 in bonds and
$.3,000,000 in stocks. Of the latter it is
understood Clidden & Curtis controlled
seven-eighths. The firm is said to have ad
vanced the company $750,000.
DEPLORE RACE TROUBLES.
Conservative and sensible Actioa of the
African Church Conference.
Charleston, February 9. The con
ference of the African Church has just
adjourned at Georgetown. One of the last
acts of the conference was the adoption of a
resolution expressing sorrow and regret at
the reports of the race troubles in the South,
and adding:
We are keenly sensible of the difficulties of
the existing relations of the races in these
States, and hence we prayerfully admonish
our own peoDle to be discreet and forbearing
in all cases, but at the same time we respect
fully urge upon our white fellow citizens the
obligations which nre imposed upon them by
the law of righteousness as well as the laws of
the land to accord to the colored people the
due measure of justice and security of person
and property due to all alike. Furthermore,
we appeal to the Christian sentiment of tho
whole country that It should be no longer
silent on this matter. God has shut us up in
the land to the issue of a common destiny.
Our presence and history In America is not of
our selection. It is clearly providential, and
hence wo claim for ourselves and our children
the common right of liberty and protection
under the law.
At a reception given by Bishop Arnett
here last night the Bishop delivered an ad
dress, in which he said:
Ever since the proclamation of freedom our
people in the South have been going to town,
leaving the country, leaving their farms, leav
ing their homes, standing on the corners, and
leaning against the corners, going to jail and
some to the penitentiary. Let us tell the peo
ple that there is prosperity on the farm as well
a3 in town. The time has come when we must
not only enjoy education, but we must pay
something for it, and show our appreciation of
the opportunities of the hour by assisting the
friends of the race in maintaining among us
the schools for our children.
PARESIS IS FAST SPREADING.
Some Startling Fads About This Insidious
DIseaso of tho Brain.
"Paresis is perhaps the most wide-spreading
disease of the present day," said a well
known physician yesterday. "It is becoming
more prevalentthan it used to be, in fact I feel
safe in saying that it has increased twofold
within the past five years. It is the malady
of our civilization, or rather it seems to ad
vance with the nation's progress.
"It is largely due to the high tension of
the average business man's mind, and it
ultimately breaks down the brain tissue
and leaves him a helpless wreck. Just
watch him! He is always on the go, never
stopping in his planning and scheming out
some new venture that he hopes will bring
him independent fortune and place him
above his competitors. That is the sort of
strain that will disorganize almost any
brain. Such a man's mind is never at rest
even when he sleeps. His sleep is unnat
ural, and he is apt to be harassed by dreams,
and he wakes up in the morning more tired
and worn out than he was when he went to
bed the night before.
"Just now I recall an instance of a man
who contracted paresis simply because he
tried to force himself to accomplish a teat
that was mentally beyond his power. He
is George Knight, the actor. He had a fair
amount of success playing light, spontane
ous parts, when he conceived the idea that
his abilities lay in a more substantial direc
tion, and' studied the character of Baron
Rudolph, altogether unsuited to his talents.
He studied hard and conscientiously, and
was determined to overcome all obstacles
by persistent work. It wore him out, and
before his friends were aware of it he was a
wreck from paresis."
A Bow at the Depot.
Officer Trapp, of the Fort "Wayne depot,
in Allegheny, was assaulted by a man

promptly put .under arrest. George W.
Cooper and William Eisenberg interfered,

were sent to the lockup in tbeT-atrol wagon.

JIES. CLEVELAND'S PUBLIC BECEPTIOfl.
Four Xew States Liltly to be Admitted, Keir
Mexico Dropping Oat.
"What is known as "bloody shirt" oratory
is expected to have full swing in the Senate
this week. Senator Chandler's resolution
to investigate the Louisiana elections is the
immediate cause. He thinks Senator Gib
son is inclined to talk the subject to death,
and doesn't propose to allow it. A Kepub
lican caucus determined to assist him.
Four new States in the near future are now
probable, New Mexico being dropped.
Mrs. Cleveland held her most brilliant
Saturday reception yesterday, at which she
welcomed more people than ever before on
such an occasion.
rSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE SISFATCR.l
"Vashkjgtos", February 9. Senator
"William E. Chandler is becoming very
much alarmed for fear that the Senate will
adjourn without taking action upon his
resolution for investieating the late election
in Louisiana. He thinks that Senator Gib
son, who is the person most directly con
cerned in the outcome of an exposition of
election methods in his State, has professed
great anxiety to have the resolution of in
quiry discussed, but Chandler thinks also
that the Louisiana Senator desires to talk
the subject to death.
The wiry and wily New Hampshire Sen
ator never allows the grass to grow under
his feet when he has any important work on
hand, and becomes weary of the Senators'
delay. He secured the calling of a caucus
of his colleagues, so that a programme for
action on that bloody shirtcrusade might be
mapped out. The caucus was held yester
day, and quite an extended and animated
discussion took place.
BKAXi OBJECT OF THE CATJCTS.
The Senators, in their usual sly way, an
nounced that the caucus was for the purpose
of giving consideration to the omnibus ter
ritorial bill. It washe bloody shirt that
engaged their attention, however. Chand
ler plainly said that he believed Gibson and
the other Democratic Senators were resolved
to talk it to death, and he wanted to get it
into such shape that it would be adopted.
The exceeding anxiety of the visiting states
men to have the resolution voted upon at
this session is due to the fact that he will
cease to be a United States Senator on the
4th of March next, and he does not care to
trust the late of his pet scheme to other
hands.
The result of the caucus deliberation was
the determination to adopt the Chandler
resolution as soon as possible and proceed
with the investigation after the adjourn
ment of the special session in March. After
the caucus adjourned the subject was re
ferred to the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, in accordance with caucus agree
ment. The resolution will be reported back
in a day or two, and after allowing the
Democrats opportunity to make such
speeches as they care to, the investigation
will be ordered.
THE ORATORY BEGINS AT OKCE.
On Monday the season of the bloody shirt
oratory will begin in earnest, with the con
sideration of the report of the investigation
of the recent political outrages in Texas,
made by the Committee on Privileges and
Elections under the immediate and per
sonal supervision of "Wm. M. Evarts. The
testimony taken by the committee will be
printed by that time and laid on the desk of
the Senators. Mr. Daniel, of Virginia,
will make a speech on the political outlook
nnd race problem in the south, and the
Texas Senators, it is understood, have some
very interesting and sensational statements
to submit about the testimony of some of
the witnesses examined.
The appropriation bills and other abso
lutely necessary measures are so far behind
that it seems hardly possible to act upon
them at all in the 19 working days remain
ing of the present session, yet time will be
found to wave aloft the 'bloody shirt in
order to prepare the way for Senator Sher
man's bill providing a new method for
co'unting votes in the South that will be
early pressed upon the attention and con
sideration of the Fifty-first Congress.
BEAT HER BECOBD.
Sirs. Cleveland Shakes Moro Bunds In a
Given Time Than Ever Before A
Brilliant Saturday Reception
Heir the Fnlrliady Looked
and Was Dressed.
rSriCIAI. TELKOBAM TO THE DISrATCH.l
Washktgtox, February 9. The Presi
dent's wife held her third and, as several
people said, "next to the last" Saturday re
ception to-day. The weather was in favor
of a crowd, and there was a crowd. Two
hours of very rapid handshaking seemed
but a "drop in the bucket," and
when the doors were ciosed,
at S o'clock, fully 1,000 persons
were left in disappointment outside. The
immense crowd was exceedingly well
ordered and quiet, and the arrangements
within and without the mansion for the
comfort and pleasure of the people were ad
mirable. Mrs. Cleveland received in a gown of pale
blue crepe, trimmed with knots and long
loops of olive moire ribbons. The skirt
was walking length, and the waist was
finished with the crepe gathered
lull about the throat and held by ribbons.
That it was a very pretty and becoming
gown was promptly certified by every
woman in ten passing out of the Blue Boom
exclaiming: "Her dress is just perfectly
lovely," and there was no disputing that
Mrs. Cleveland, in her blue crepe gown to
day, was a charming figure.
Mrs. Carlisle, Miss Augusta Wilson and
Miss Mary Wilson were in the line of as
sistants. Back of the line were Mrs. Fol
som, Senator Gray's wife, the daughters of
Senator Dawes and Senator Sherman, Mrs.
Lloyd Bryce, Mrs. John -E. Russell, Mrs.
"William McAdoo, Mrs. Howland, Mrs.
Craig, Mrs. Janin, Mrs. John Bodgers,
Mrs. and Mis'; Kernan, Miss Ledyard, Miss
Blunt, Miss Farnesworth, Miss Lee. Miss
Nicolay and Miss Sunderland, daughter of
the Kev. Byron Sunderland.
Among the visitors making their way in
with the crowd for a brief call were the Ger
man Minister and sister, the Nicaraguau
Minister and wife, Mrs. Whitney and Mrs.
Henry "Whitney, the Eev. Dr. Sunder
land, James Russell Lowell, Repre
sentative Burnett, Representative Sency's
wife, with a party of friends; Senator
Dolph's wife, Senator Hawley's wife, Sena
tor Sherman's wife, Miss Bayard, Mrs.
Lamont and Mr. nnd Miss Van Buren.
Colonel "Wilson introduced visitors in, the
first hour. After that the crowd and Mrs.
Cleveland's rapid handshaking proved too
much for the Colonel's voice, and he gave
up the formality.
It wasn't the .'ault of the President's wife
that all of the people were not "shaken"
through in two hours. She entered into the
spirit of the occasion and enjoyed the lu
dicrous features of a reception in which the
people we.re hurried through with a
"rush." It is quite certain that in the
business of handshaking Mrs. Cleveland

rSrXCTAI. TXLIOBAK TO TOT DISrATCTT.l
"Washington, February 9. The pros
pect is now good for the admission of four
new States during the current year. New
Mexico will wait, after getting a declara
tion in its favor from the House. Delegate
Josephs wants the House to go on
record as favoring the admission of his
territory, but he does not wish the omnibus
bill to be defeated for the sake of New
Mexico. The House, therefore, will by aye
and nay vote insist on the admission of that
territory. The Senate conferees will insist
on leaving it out, and then the House con
ferees will say that the responsibility is on
the Republicans, and they will throw Monte
zuma overboard to save the rest of the terri
tories. On the question of a new vote in Dakota
on the division question the House conferees
believe the Senate conferees will consent to
have the division question again submitted
to the people. The Senate conferees insist
that Montana, "Washington and North
Dakota shall come into the Union in the
same way, either by special acts or by Presi
dental proclamation, and as North Dakota
has never adopted a constitution, the House
conferees object to its admission by procla
mation and special acts at the next session
of Congress will be agreed upon.
The other points of difference can be
easily adjusted between the two Houses,
and South Dakota will come in by procla
mation next summer, and North Dakota,
Montana and "Washington next December
by acts of Congress.
SENATOR FOE THREE MONTHS.
The Oldest Man In the Body to Come for a
While from New Hampshire.
ISrECIAI. TILIOItAM TO TUX DISPATCH.!
Washington, February 9. A" New
Hampshire Republican, who claims to be
well posted in the political affairs of that
State, brought to'the Senate to-day the re
port that Governor Sawyer will appoint the
venerable Judge Nesmith to be a Senator
from March 4 until the Legislature elects
William E. Chandler's successornext June.
Should this report prove true, Justin S.
Morrill, of Vermont, will no longer be the
oldest man in the Senate. Mr. Morrill will
be 79 in April next. Judge Nesmith is now
89, and in rather feeble hesltn. His name
headed the electoral ticket of the State
at the recent election and he presided over
the meeting of the electors at Concord last
month. Judge Nesmith lives at Franklin,
the little town that was the home of the late
Senator Pike, and he was almost carried
there to preside at the meeting of the elec
tors. Senator Chandler and Representative Gal
linger, his opponents, both say that no po
litical significance attaches to the appoint
ment for the three months' interim. Neither
of the principal candidates care for the tem
porarv honor, preferring to remain on the
outside to prepare for the big fight that
comes off in June.

BARS THE BOYS.
A Bill to Prevent Callow Youths From
Purchasing: Clcarettes.
The bill before the Legislature prohibit
ing the sale of tobacco to persons under 16
years of age, meets the approval of moit of
the leading tobacco jobbing firmsof the city,
provided that it can be enforced, but it is
not favored by the smaller retail dealers.
Cigarette would, of course, be the main
article of trade affected, and wholesalers
would not object to seeing them wiped out
to some extent, as the profit by wholesale is
only about 2 cents on the 1,000, and
they think the passage of the law"
would help other branches of the busi
ness in which the profit is greater. Retail
ers, however, make about 20 per cent profit
on cigarettes, and would regret the prohibi
tion on the small boy's use of them. A
well-known dealer estimates that the
cigarette trade outside of the city would
fall off 33 per cent if the bill should be
passed.
Another dealer, who claims to have sold
as many as 2,000,000 cigarettes a month, is
also in favor of the bill, but he thinks its
enforcement wonld be difficult, as boys
could secure orders from adults for tobacco,
and could therefore buy it in that way for
themselves, and many similar schemes
could be concocted for evading the law.

The bodies of eight dead Mexicans havekt
been discovered at an abandoned mine in 4

was led by Miguel Martinez. He was in

Cheyeune, February 9. The discovery'"
of the bodies of eight Mexican prospectors "
at the mouth of the abandoned San Sal
vador mine, in the northern part of .
"Wyoming, has brought to light a romantic
story, rivaling all the tales about seekers7..
for Captain Kidd's buried treasures.
Miguel Martinez, at the head of a part
of his countrymen, was here last fall for two
days. They confided to a Mexican gambler
here that they were in search of an aban
doned gold mine which they believed to bo ''
rich in the metal, and which they were
going to develop. Martinez carried a chart
traced on parchment, which they said was '
200 years old, and was made by an ancestor '
of his in the seventeenth century. Tho ,
chart had been lost for years, but recently
turned up, and at once the party waj.j
organized.
BATHES EOIIANTIC. "
The story that had run through the family, 4
for generations was that Martinez the elder
was at the head of a band of Spanish gold -hunters,
who were working a rich mine '
somewhere in this part ot the country. The
miners quarrelled and finally fought, and ,
their division resulted in the abandonment .
of the mine, though it was very rich. j
Martinez was wounded, and died on ths '
way home. "With his blood he traced what '
was to be a rich legacy to his children. A
faithful friend delivered the document, ,
which soon afterward was lost, and only
recently turned up. Martinez, the de- i
scendant, was told of two mines np north'
that mineralogists have declared werov
worked by the Spaniards hundreds of yean,
ago. .
His party was not heard of again till to i
day when a hunter named Keller reported
that his party had discovered their bodies
All of the Mexicans had been shot and were
somewhat carved up by knives, showing' .
that the struggle was a hand to hand one.!
There were evidences that the victorious
party had lost three orfour men, and that they
had made a hasty departure, carrying their
dead and wounded with them.
MYSTERY ABOUNDS.
"What surprised the hunters most was to
find the mine had recently been worked. It
is not known that a pickax had touched it ,
since two meu starved to death there in 1877.
Many believe here that the Mexicans lo
cated their ancient mine and were killed
while urging their claim. There is reason
to think, however, that the San Salvador?
was not the mine described on their chart
and that the murderers have taken the mac
and gone off to locate the ancient mine.
J.IJC JUUb Wlilb WIG iUCAlUtU3 MU.3C3 AUUj
tools were taken, and that their jewelry anrLj
some money were not removed lrom their;
bodies seems to prove this. Keller says.)
that there was every indication that the San.
Salvador mine was paying, and believes i
that the mine sought for by the Mexicans is
not far from the other, and is known to tha
party who were at work.
No one here knows who the murderonsr
prospectors were, and as the region in which
the events occurred is almost inaccessible..
it is not likely that any one will start to
work the old mine and bury the Mexican'

Some of TJs Have Yalaable Bibles. ,
London Dally Xews.:
It is popularly supposed.remarks a corres-'
pondent, that the authorized version of tho
Bible, as we have it to-day, is entirely free
from printer's errors.and it maybe interest-
to a good many of your readers to learn that)
it contains anything of the kind. The fol
lowing passage, however, speaks for itself,
and the misprint contained in it will bo'
readily noticed. ""Woe to the idol shepherd
that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be
upon his arm, and upon his right eye; his
arm shall be clean dried up, and his right
eye shall be utterly darkened" (Zecbariab,
xi, 17). Curiously enough, this error
has been allowed to remain uncor
rected by the Universities Press for nearly
SO years, and possibly for a much longer!
period; at any rate, it will be found in tne
editions of the Bible for 1839 and 1883, 1889
being the date of publication of the revised
version. It was of course discovered by thi
.Revising Company, and it would seem ju
if they wished to consign the fanlt toobliv
ion, as they substituted a new adjectivi
("worthless") for that misprinting name
ly, "idle," avoiding, moreover, any refer
ence, marginal or otherwise, to the altera
tion made.
