London, February 22. Copyright
Monarchical Europe is in a state of alarm
comparable only to the period when the
commune dominated Paris. Then royal
eyes were turned to Germany, upon whose
armed hosts then lay the duty of preventing
the red spectre stalking through Europe.
To-day it is Germany that inspires dread,
and the frightened royalists for the moment
eee so reason why the aforesaid spectre
shall not soon start from Berlin on a tri
umphal progress all over this continent It
is positively ludicro 's to note the extent of
the scare caused by the Socialist victories at
the German polls last Thursday.
CAUSE OF THE PANIC.
It could not be mors general had the So
cial Democrats returned to the Reichstag
with an overwhelming majority. As it is
they have gained 20 seats from their ene
mies and have a prospect of winning more
at the second ballots on March 1. But the
Monarchists just now can only grasp the
broad fact of the actual gains, and seem in
capable of reasoning irom a comparative
basis.
The Socialist successes are certainly strik
ing in their way, especially the enormous
increase in the aggregate poll in Berlin, but
the people forget that in the last Beichstag
bnt one there were 25 Social Democrats, a
number whicb probably will not be ex
ceeded in the new parliament. A matter of
more practical and immediate interest is
the collapse of the Cartel, whose majority of
26 over the combined opposition will be
changed to a minority of at least 20.
TBOUBLE FOB BISMABCK.
It is already evident that Bismarck will
have to set to work to patch up a woriing
majority of elements more discordant tt.an
those with which he had to deal from 1884
until last week. He will have to reckon
chiefly with the Clerical party, who return
to the Beichstag a compact phalanx over 100
strong.
Herr Windthorst and his friends will, in
fact, be in a position to hold the balance ot
voting power in the new Beichstag, and if
Bismarck wants their support he will have
to pay lor it. The Imperial Chancellor is
reported to be much concerned at the result
of the elections, and the young Kaiser is
infuriated at what he considers the base in
gratitude of the people, ior whom, on paper,
he was prepared to do so much.
THE COUBT CHAOEINED.
In court circles the chagrin is most
marked, and it is now scarcely denied that
the imperial rescripts were intended to cut
the ground from beneath the Socialists'
feet. In the prevailing temper in high
quarters the Socialists will do well to cele
brate their victories discreetly. A week or
two ago during the debate on the Socialist
bill, Minister Herrfurth turning to a little
knot of Social-Democrats, screamed ont:
"You are representatives of those who will
not work and your proper place is the tread
mill." That is emphatically the present opinion
of Kaiser Wilhelm and of his army officers.
Public demonstrations wilL.be sternly sup
pressed, and blood will be shed if the Social
ists be not circumspect in their rejoicings.
A commencement was actually made yester
day in a suburb of Berlin, in Frankfort and
at Konigsberg, where the unoffending mer
rymakers were mercilessly clubbed by the
police and arrested by the score on bogus
charges of rioting.
PERSONALLY MOBTIMED.
The Kaiser's personal mortification may
be estimated from one of many facts. On
"Wednesday evening the semi-official North
Ocrman Gazette published an editorial re
minding the electors that the coming elec
tion was the first during William the Sec
ond's reign,and imposed upon all who trusted
His Majesty and his policy the obligation
to record their votes. The electors were
especially warned against having to do with
the Badicals and Social Democrats.
If the Kaiser did not actually write the
article there is good reason to believe that
he saw the proof, and it was, therefore, tan
tamount to an imperial manifesto. To-day
the Cartel majority, which electors were ex
horted to increase, has disappeared, and the
semi-official organs can find nothing better
to do than to appeal to all who are loyal to
the Kaiser and the Fatherland to combine
for the defeat of the Socialists in the second
ballots.
SOUS NOTABLE INCIDENTS.
Some incidents of the contest are so strik
ingly notable that they are likely to figure
in any historical record of the caprices of
selection. One of these is the defeat of
Prof. "Virschow, the famous and popular
man of science, and a distinguished Liberal.
He was defeated by Janiszewsmy, a journey
man bookbinder and a Pole, a very old man
and extremely poor, who speaks broken
German. Yet the Second district of Berlin
put him at the top of the poll because he haa
been the victim of repeated prosecutions.
Herr Woennann,PrinceBismarck'8 friend,
a great Hamburg ship owner, and the candi
date of the National Liberals, was defeated
by Dietz, the Socialist. This astonished the
Socialists themselves. Hamburg is now
entirely In. their hands.
BELIEVES XS rEESETEEANCE.
Despite the people's ingratitude the
Kaiser isyi he will persevere in his schemes
TOTTERING
HRDNES
for making them happy. He has gracious
ly invited several workmen to give evidence
before a committee of. the State Council,
which is to meet next Wednesday. No
power, however, has yet accepted His
Majesty's invitation. Lord Salisbury is
still considering.it, or professes to be so en
gaged. France may accept if England makes up
her mind to send delegates. The English
newspapers continue to speak disrespect
fully of the whole thing, and the French
press are pretty unanimous in demanding,
as conditions precedent, the retrocession of
Alsace and Lorraine and the reduction of
the European armies to a peace footing.
The Kaiser is said to have been much grati
fied at learning that the German Socialist
clubs have passed resolutions in favor of his
labor policy.
BOOM FOB BEOBET.
His joy would have been chastened had
he Known the circumstances in which the
resolutions were passed. If -some speakers
patted him on the back others metaphori
cally kicked and jumped upon him. One
orator denounced him as an imperial scoun
drel and royal trickster, while another pro
posed to send him a telegram advising him
to mind his own business and to disgorge
the $5,000,000 stolen by his grandfather and
father from France. These unfeeling per
sons were certainly in a minority, but they
displayed remarkable vigor and were only
silenced by the imperial methods of broken
heads and forcible expulsion.
At the moment of cabling I learn that
Switzerland has yielded to German pres
sure, and has given up the idea of heading
a labor conference in Berne. The German
Emperor's conference will probably be held
the end of next month.

the adoption of the Bussian extradition
treaty by the United States would lead to
the immediate augmentation of the horrors
now existing in the Siberian prisons. Of
Kennan's Bussian articles Stepniak spoke
in the highest terms. He said: "Of course
much of the information published in my
works necessarily comes at i second hand,
and though I have had fullest confidence in
my informants I have sometimes been
almost unable to believe that the terrible
stories they told were true, even with the
knowledge I possess of the horrors of Bus

most of which he writes."

cerning the dreadful occurrence of last De
cember at Kara, in Eastern Siberia, con

Mesdames Sitnda and Kovolivskaia, who
were brutally flogged by order of the prison
director, poisoned themselvesrafterward. The
flogging of political prisoners has been de
liberately ordered by the Siberian author

tBT CABLE TO TOE DISPATCH.1
London, February 22. This week there
was released from Portsmouth prison a
young American who has been the victim
of a great wrong. He is Joshua Warren
Lawler, of Boston, son of D. G. Lawler,
naval constructor and grandson of Admiral
Warren. Young Lawler started out with
the yacht Neversink early last summer to
make a tour around the world. The Never
sink, which is manufactured under a new
patent of the Norton Naval Construction
Shipbuildipg Company, of Jersey City and
New York, is the smallest yacht that ever
crossed the ocean, being but 30 feet long.
It was Lawler'a intention, after exhibiting
the yacht at the Paris Exhibition for her
builder, to go on around the world, visiting
all the harbors and porta and going up all
tbe navigable rivers for considerable dis
tances, his pnly companion being Ignatius
F. Murphy, of Brooklyn, who was to ac
company him as historian and scientist.
Edison had presented them with a phono
graph, and it was Murphy's intention to
bring back a great number of uncivilised
conversations on tbe wax cylinders for
philological purposes. The trip was to take
more than two years, but the young men
expected to arrivein New York in time for
the World's. Fair in 1892. Lawler calls B.
J. Black, a German Hebrew, of Paris and
London, the author of all his troubles. The
young American arrived with his yacht in
Paris Julv i. incidentally saving the life of
a drowning man in the Seine by diving
unaer a rati alter mm. disck nau cuma
ol the exhibition of the Neversink n Paris
and, totally without warrant, he seized the
yacht in Lawler's absence and sent her to
Cherbourg. Lawler at once went to Bussell
T. M, Hoadley, of the Norton Company,
and got a bill of sale of the yacht, and fol
lowed after it. Black hired a French crew
and sent her to Portsmouth.
Lawler reached that port just asthe
Neversink was about to sail, put out in a
rowboat and boarded her. The crew at
tacked him with clubs, and he shot one man
in the leg, making only a slight wound, and
got possession of the yacht This was more
than the British law could stand, and in
spite of public sentiment being with the
American, he was sentenced to two months'
imprisonment, which he has just served.
Lawler has gone to New York to secure title
to tbe Neversink, which has been lying in
Portsmouth harbor ever since, and will then
proceed on the tour around the world with
Murphy, who has been awaiting his friend's
release in London and Paris.
DISCOSSIhG THE DODGE.
The Parneli Report Is Furnishing Ammuni

JBT CABLE TO TBE DISPATCH.!
London, February 22. The papers have
begun to quarrel among themselves about
the Parneli Commission. Each one accuses
the other of taking notice of only the points
which favor their particular views, and
they are rating each other fiercely for over
looking those expressions of opinion which
tell directly against them. They have
taken now to emphasizing their points by
reproducing certain portions in parallel
columns with the assertions of their oppo
nents. The Tory activity in this direction
is quite remarkable. Attempts to confuse
the public are hardly likely to bear much
fruit as people are buying the report to read
for themselves, and they will form their own
judgment One of the clearest indications
of the bent of popular opinion is shown by
a letter of W. S. Caine, one of the leading
Unionist members of, Parliament who says:
"With afl sensible and right minded men 1 am
profoundly thankful that Mr. Parneli has been
able to clear himself so completely and emphat
ically from the odious charges made against
him by the Timet, which, but for tbe appoint
ment of thi commission, be might never hive
accomplished so satisfactorily I look won
this as a matter for national congratulation. I
cannot find language strong enough to express
my horror of the foul conspiracy to which Mr.
Parneli has been subjected, or my opinion of
the conduct of tbe Times in lending itself to
tbose infamous libels on the flimsy evidence
furnished to them of their supposed genuine
ness. Mr. Parneli must be held to bave come
through the inquiry practically unscathed.

.'SPECIAL TELXGEAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, February 22, Presi
dent Chauncey F. Black, of the Democratic
societies of this State, this morning called
to order a meeting of the officers of the soci
eties, and the members of the Finance and
Executive Committees, who had been called
together for the purpose of devising meth
ods of the organization, intended to assist
the Democratic State Committee in the con
test of next fall, when a Governor, Lieuten
ant Governor, and Secretary of Internal
Affairs are to be elected.
The meeting, which was a secret one, was
attended by State Senator Henry D. Green,
of Beading; William U. Hensel, of Lancas
ter; Congressman James Kerr, of Clear
field; James M. GufTey, of Pittsbnrg, Rob
ert E. Wright, of Allentown; J. Irvin

vilie; J. Presley Fleming and John W,
Ecbols, of Pittsburg, and Dr. Eueene
Townsend and John D. Wormand, of this
city.
UBGED TO ACTITITX.
The presidents of the democratic societies
throughout the State will receive from
President Black notice of the importance of
the fall election, and each association will
be called upon to urge its members to activ
ity. A request to send at once to John D.
Wormand, the secretary of the Democratic
societies, this city, a full and complete list
of the membership of the respective organi
zations, has been sent out, and the leaders
of the Democratic societies contend that, in
the counties outside of Philadelphia, a most
thorough and complete organization will be
effected for campaign purposes
It is said that the attention of tbe Demo
cratic State Convention will be called to the
disrupted condition of the Democratic or
ganization in this city, and that steps will
be taken to have a commission appointed by
the State Convention as was done in 1880,
when two Democratic City Committees were
in existence in this city, and to have said
commission call a convention to revise the
rules, and endeavor to do away with fac
tional strife now existing.
CLAIM TO BE CONFIDENT.
The Democratic leaders throughout the
State seem firmly of the belief that they can
elect their State candidates this fall, and it
is mainly on that account that they declare
their intention of securing a betterment of
the condition of the Democratic party in
this city. They point to the elections held
In the cities outside of Philadelphia, and
claim that when such Republican strong
holds as Lancaster and Gettysburg elect
Democrats to office, itls safe to predict the
election of State candidates, if the Phila
delphia Democrats can only be induced to
wheel into line. .
The Democratic leaders have also de
termined to try and elect a sufficient num
ber of members to the Legislature to five
them control of tbe Legislature at Harris
burg, and to allow them to name the suc
cessor to United States Senator J. Donald
Cameron, whose term enpires next year.
They claim that the German voting popu
lation ot tbe .State have grown tired of Re
publican promises, and that thousands of
quiet votes will be cast for tbe Democratic
candidates.
It is also argued by the leaders of the
Democratic party throughout tbe State that
their plank ot the party platform in favor
of tbe Australian ballot system, which will
be made one of the issues of the fall cam
paign, will tend to add to their regular
party vote, the votes of thousands of Re
publicans who have no sympathy with a
party which does not declare in favor of an
honest ballot and honest count.
BALLOT BEFOBM AN ISSUE.
Steps are to be taken to have printed a
number of speeches made by distinguished
gentlemen upon the subject of ballot re
form, to be distributed to the Democratic
clubs throughout tbe State, which are to
have charge of the literary end of the cam
paign, with a view of having the voters of
the State understand just wbat both parties
are pledged to perform in the event of the
election of their candidates. Jt is generally
understood in Democratic circles that who
ever may be chosen by the Democratic State
Convention as the candidate of the party
for Governor thit all the factions of the
organization throughout the State will lend
a willing and helping hand to bring about
hir election.
"Whether it be Black, Wallace or Patti
son, or any other Democrat who may he
named tor the office of Governor," said an
enthusiastic Democrat from the interior of
the State, "every member of the party will
be found in line battling earnestly and hon
estly for tbe election of the candidate."
"The result of the election in Philadel
phia does not disturb us," said a Lehigh
county Democrat, "as we recognize the fact
that factional differences over the selection
of candidates for magistrate was theBole
cause of the trouble. When the Democratic
State candidates have been named we have
every confidence that in the city of Phila
delphia the organization of the Democratic
party will be in good condition to assist in
the election of the party candidates."

davits accusing Jeremiah Newman, steward
of the Monmouth and Ocean county alms

thrust him violently into a cellar, where he
was let lay for two hours.

rEFZClAL TELEOBAM TO TOTI DISrATCIM
Ottawa, February 22. A striking case
of suspended animation comes from Sand
Bay, in the township of Lansdowne. Mr.
Robert Cook,, a young man, was
a short time ago attacked
with "la grippe." He grew rapidly
worse until the attending physician con
sulted another, and finally' he was pro
nounced dead by both. His eyes were
closed and the usual preparations forburial
were being made when the supposed corpse
turned over on his side.
To tbe astonishment of those present he
was able, in a very short time, to take some
liquid nourishment and is now in a fair way
to recovery.

ANYBODY'S FIGHT FOR THE FAIE.
Big Delegations Hard at Work tor Their
Favorite Cities.
WHITNEI AND DEPEW ON THE GROUND.
The Rational Capital is the Second Choice of Many
of the Members.
The final battle for the location of the
World's Fair is being fiercely contested. It
is estimated that Chicago will have US votes
on the first ballot, New York 95, Washing
ton 65 and St Louis 55. The friends of the
metropolis are hustling, but the struggle is
likely to be between Chicago and Washing
ton. i
PTBOH A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. 1
Washington, February 22. There has
been great activity displayed to-day in
World's Fair circles. Tbe opposing cities
have b een ' bringing up reinforcements to
their already numerous forces, and have set
the newcomers to work fit once. A large
delegation of New Yorkers got in this morn
ine, and they were distributed along differ
ent points in the line of battle to strengthen
the weaker places.
Mr. Chauncey M. Depew assumed charge
of the workers deputed to see and impor
tune Republican members, while ex-Secretary
of the Navy William C. Whitney looked
after the other side. It was a small army
that left the New York headquarters at the
Arlington this morning, and every man in it
had his particular duty to perform.
NEW YOBK IN LINE.
The New-Yorkers have gone to work In a
thoroughly systematic manner, and, with
the strong point in their favor that they
have 515,000,000 ready to expend on the
fair, they are feeling quite confident of final
success. To-night Mayor Cregier, of Chi
cago, and a large delegation of influential
Northwestern men arrived in the interests
of the Windy City. They appreciate the
fact that they have at present the advan
tage in the number of votes pledged,
and they propose tp not only hold that, but
to increase it if possible.
Mayor Francis, of St Louis, is on the
ground with a nnmber of assistants and
they, too, were hustling in a lively manner
to-day. In fact, scarcely a member of Con
gress who was known to be unpledged or
who might possibly be induced to change
his announced intentions, escaped being
buttonholed two or. three times during the
day. If there were any that did escape it
was because they went into hiding for that
purpose. The Washington people are not
doing much loud talking, but they have
been putting in a good deal of quiet earnest
work. '
ONE OF THE OBJECTIONS.
The great difficulty they have had to con
tend against has been the objection of many
members, particularly from the South, to
making a large appropriation from the
Treasury for the defrayment of the fair's ex-
Eenses, if it is to be held in this city. They
avemet this by pointing out the fact that
the buildings that will be put up by the
Government for the fair here will be useful
for bureau purposes afterward, and that
these buildings must be put up sooner or
later to accommodate the Government's
necessities.
Washington is undoubtedly the second
choice of mostqMhe adherents of the other
cities, and if it should come down to a con
test between Chicago and Washington, as is
quite probable, the chances of the latter city
will be exceedinglygood. The speeches yes
terday of ex-Speaker Carlisle and Mr. Mills,
in favor of St Lonis, have added several
votes that were wavering to the strength of
that city. An estimate made to-night of the
probable vote on the first ballot on the ques
tion of site on Monday, gives Chicago 113
votes, New York 95, Washington 65, and
St Louis 55. Liohtneb.
ATTAOmiTTHE CHUECH.
A New Woman Suffrage Association That
Will be Wholly Secular The Hadleal
Views of Ono of the Lenders.
r?BOH A STAIT CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, February 22. The schism
from the National Woman Suffrage Asso
ciation to form a new body, which shall be
wholly secular, will materialize on Monday
at Willard's Hall, when the first meeting
will be held. Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Gage is
the acknowledged leader of the movement,
which has an appearance as though it is
theosophist against Christian, as Dr. Elliott
Coues, the noted theosophist expounder, is
one of the high lights. Mrs. Gage, in ex
plaining the movement, says:
x regard the church as tbe basic principle of
immorality in the world, and the most prolific
source of pauperism, of crimo, and of Injustice
to women. The chnrch is not built upon tbo
New Testament of Christ, who enjoined equal
ity, bnt upon tbe ancient and mythical legend
of Adam and Eve the sin of the woman, ber
responsibility for evils, as well as a belief in
her creation as an afterthought and tbe natural
subject of the master for whom she was de
vised. There is no better proof of tbe aggre
gated falsehoods, whicb have crystallized into
hide-bound creeds, than the indisputable fact
of woman's subjection under them and tbe
stinging rebuke sue received from the church
at each and every step she has made toward
natural freedom of body, mind and soul. In
woman's revolt against tbe chnrch I see tbe
beginning of ber freedom, and in fact tbe only
avenue to ber political equality and her domes
tic happiness. .
The truth as taught by the masters. In its
simple purity, by Christ, by Buddha and the
still more ancient authorities. I am prepared to
accept, but the vast accumulation of man-made
interpretation and dogmas I utterly repudiate
and deny. Neither tbe innocent Hebrew
records, the inspired biographies of the New
Testament nor the written histories and un
written laws of tbe church express anything
but tbe masculine mood and mind and char
acter. No. I bavo no spites nor any enemies to
fight, nor yet any grievances to revenge. This
movement is based on an old thought, an old
hope, discussed by Mrs. Stanton and myself for
years, and it is a work to which her heart in
clines even though she is bound as tbe Presi
dent of the National Association to refuse her
public sanctions.
SHOCKING TEAGEDI.

opened tbe door the trap was sprung and
she received the whole charge full in the
breast She died instantly. Mr. and Mrs.
Dowell had been married only two months.

Committee's attention was drawn to the fact
that tbe quality of linen used at Bidean Hall
was of so fine a texture that it
had to be made specially to
order. It came ont during the
examination that Lord Dufferin used the
finest of linen, and that Lord Lansdowne
was not as particular as Lord Stanley. The
followine cross-examination of one ot tbe
members of the vice regal household by Mr.
Somerville, member of Parliament, then
took place:
Q. How was it that Lord (Stanley required a
new array of linen for Bidean Hall when Lord
Lansdowne was satisfied to use wbat be found
there?
A. The linen left by Lord Lansdowne was
nnut to use.
Q. People are generally particular about
their linen?
A.ya.
Q. Well, then. Lord Lansdowne could not
have been very particular?
A Well, bo made it do.
Mr. Somerville read an item of over
$1,000 for 400 table napkins, to which wit
ness replied that their table napkins came
so high becanse they were of a quality not
to be had in this country, and were
made to order. He further explained
that Lord Dufferin brought over
his own linen and china, the
former the very finest Irish linen, and the
Government purchased all this front Lord
Dufferin on hi departure. From that day
to this Lord Dufferin's linen was nsed as a
sample for all additional purchases, and
some of Lord Dufferin's cbinaware and
glassware, with his monogram, remained in
Bideau Hall to the present time.

rarXCTAL TELEOBAM TO THE PI8PATCIL1
Cbatvfobdstille, Ind., February 22,
Last Tuesday the sophomore class of
Wabash College here stole an elegant new
flag from the freshmen class. It had been
specially prepared for to-day's parade,
Wednesday the freshmen caught Abe
Andrews, a sophomore, playing spy on a
meeting they were holding, and beat him so
badly he has not left his bed since. Yester
day the sophomores stole another flag from
thefreshies. Last night members of the
two classes met on the campus and began a
mad fight Some one rang the college bell,
all the students and faculty rushed to the
spot and Prof. Joseph Tuttle, President of
the college, waa knocked senseless by an
unknown party. He is severely hurt
The police ended the fight. A sqnad of
police was then placed in the center build
ing, to prevent either class from taking
possession, as they threatened, and planting
their flag on the belfry. About midnight,
the sophomores appeared, overpowered the
fiolice, and unfurled their flag. At day
ight, the freshies appeared, and a terrible
fight, lasting several hours, followed.
The sophomores threw their enemies out
windows and off walls with reckless disre
gard of consequences. P, M. Kean haa a
sprained ankle M. Grabb, a broken arm
and internal injuries; H. M. Vaniug,
broken leg; J. Ackert, ugly scalp wound,'
J. P. Babcock, broken finger, and B. F.
Greene, arm dislocated and face cnt They
are all freshmen. Messrs. Dole, McCamp
bell and Conditicla, sophomores, have bad
head and face wounds, and at least 30 other
students are more or less hurt Both classes
will probably be expelled. There is much
excitement here.

Poet Townsend, Wash., February
22. Citizens here have contributed $3,000
of a proposed sum of 5,000 to Miss Kegina
Rothschild, of this city, who will leave
Port Townsend on March 17 to
race aronnd the world against
Citizen George Francis Train, who
will leave Tacoma on the same day. Miss
Bothschild will go east and endeavor to
girdle the globe in less than 60 days return
ing via Yokohama and Cape Flattery. Rob
ert Kerr, general manager of the Canadian
Pacific Bailway, has telegraphed that the
special train will leave Vancouver on March
17, and will arrive in New York 5i days
later. The French steamer La Normandie
will carry the yonnc lady to Havre,
where she will take the train to
Brindisi, thence to Hong Kong and Yoko
hama, which will be reached three days
after the regular advertised departure of the
Canadian steamer.
The company decided to postpone the sail

girl. About 11 days later the steamer will
pass Cape Flattery, where the powerful tug
Tyee," capable of making 20 miles per hour,
will he in waiting to convey Miss
Bothschild to Port Towpsend. Citizen
Train will probably not be able to make

do everything in their power to beat Train,
who will travel over the Northern Pacific
Railroad. Miss Bothschild is scarcely over
21 years old. and a native of this city.

&fciwept by the Waters.
THE PROPERTY LOSS YEEI HEAVY
A dam across the Hassayamapa river,
Arizona, holding an artificial lake three!
miles long, gave away yesterday. Forty
persona are known to have perished, and it
is feared that the town of Wickendnrg has
been swept away. The loss to the owners
of the dam alone is about $1,000,000.
Pkescott, Abiz., February 22. The
fine large storage dam built across the Has
sayamapa river by the Walnut Grove
Water Storage Company two years ago at
a coat of $300,000, gave away this morning
under the great pressure of a heavy flood
and swept everything before it Forty per
sons are known to have lost their lives.
A TOWN max be demolished.
As the town of Wickendnrg, 30 miles
below the dam, was on the same stream,
great fears are entertained for the safety of
that town, but as there is no telegraphic
communication, no news will be obtainable
of its fate till to-morrow, at least
Tbe service dam of the company, located
15 miles below the reservoir, with 15 miles
of flume, just approaching completion, was
also swept away. The company had spent
over $SOO,000 on the enterprise of steering
the water.. The hydraulic mining machine
had arrived, and they expected to commence
operations next week.
COHSTEUCnON OF THIS DAM.
The dam which held the waters back was
110 feet long at the base and 400 feet at- the
top. It was 110 feet thick at the base and
ten feet at the top, forming a
lake three miles in length by
three-fourths ot a mile wide,
and 110 feet deep. Lieutenant Brodie, in
charge of ihe work, was absent at Phoenix
superintending the shipment of the ma
chinery to tbe works, and was saved.
Those known to have been drowned were:
J. Haines, wife and four children; H.
Boone and daughters. John Stlby, Joseph
Beynolds, Mrs. McCarthy and S. McMiller.
ATTACKING THE INlEK-bTATE LAW.
Several Hoards r Trade Want Some Par
tlcnlnr Amendments Blade.
rsrECIAL TILKnBAM TO THZ DISPATCH. 1
St. Louis, February 23. It is given out
by the Merchants Exchange that the
boards of trade of the Western cities will
shortly apply to Congress for a revision of
the inter-State commerce law in reference
to the tariff on food products,
especially com and wheat, between the pro
ducing districts and Eastern exporting
centers. The movement did not originate in
this city, nor will it be confined to
the St Lonis merchants. It will
be shown that Western market
are demoralized on account of
the preference shown small shipping points
and the powers of small roads lying en
tirely within one State. The buyers for
markets in competition with those favored by
the railroads dare not make purchases, as
they are aware that at any moment the
freight tariff may be manipulated in such a
way as to place them at a hopeless disad
vantage, and therefore those who are able to
control the short lines can buy grain at very
low prices.
The manner in which corn has passed St
Louis from districts that ought to be tribu
tary to this city proves that something is
wrong, and similar complaints have come
from Chicago, Cincinnati and New York,
while the farmers of Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas and Nebraska are equally dissatisfied.
The boards of trade of nearlv all the West
ern cities and many of the Eastern are en
gaged in drawing up a petition to Congress
asking that these inequalities be corrected,
and it will be presented within a few weeks.
