    SMARCK SUPREME
Emperor "William Keeds the
Iron Chancellor Now.
HE IS IN A TIGHT PLACE.
Dismayed by Liberal and Socialist
Successes at the Tolls.
ASKING THE POPE FOR ADVICE
The triumph of the German Liberals and
Socialists at the polls has resulted in the
full restoration of Bismarck's control over
the Emperor. Important overtures hare
been made to the Pope. The proposed in
ternational labor conference is not expected
to result in any immediate great reforms.
tCOrTEIGHT, 1S9Q, BTTHISITTOEI ASSOCIATED
rr.Ess.:.
Beelik, March 1. By the results of the
second ballots reported to-day the disastrous
defeat of the Cartel coalition was confirmed
and the same figures put in a stronger light
the triumph of the German Liberals and
the Socialists. Four districts in this
city in which the first canTass was
undecided have now been carried by
German Liberals. The First, Fraerer;
the Second, Virchow; the Third, Munckel;
the Fifth, Baumhacti. All these are men
whose presence in the Beichstag gives luster
to that body. In the second and third of
these districts the Socialists headed the poll
on the first ballots. Their defeat nowls
only due to a combination of other parties
aga'inst them.
The returns from the provinces received
ud to this time 9:50 r.M. continue to dis
close in every direction donates of the Na
tional Lioerals and successes of thte popu
lar candidates of various stripes. Perhaps
the most surprising feature of this activity
of the popular element is the lively reap
pearance of the Yolks party, or Democrats,
of all districts where the Socialists did not
put up a candidate.
BISMAKCK ON TOP AGAIN.
Prince Bismarck is already actively
planning and negotiating the reconstitution
of a Government majority by the manipula
tion of parties. In his new scheme the Cen
ter party will replace the National Liberal
party as that stood in the Cartel.
The elections have resulted in the full
restoration of the Prince's control over the
Emperor. The Chancellor never seriously
intended to retire, but would have retired
rather than have played the part ot a figure
head. His giving out of a purpose to resign
called the Emperor's attention to the fact
that that would be the logical consequence
of his separating himself entirely
from the Chancellor, and doubtless led him
to reflect upon what he was to do without
fcim. As soon as the adverse results ot the
elections was perceptible this reflection
must have loomed up as one of serious mo
ment, and all this has led to the Emperor's
unqualified adhesion to the Prince's pro
jected parliamentary tactics. Dailv for all
the time since the first ballots the Emperor
and the Chancellor have concerted the
scheme of playing the Center party as the
basis of a Government combination.
PLACATING THE VATICAN.
The first measure showing the drift of the
scheme is the revival of active relations with
the "Vatican. In an important dispatch
Prince Bismarck requests the Pope's opin
ions and his recommendations as to the de
tails of the restitution to the Catholic clergy
of the sum sequestered during the 15 cul-
tnrkampl. The report also credits tne Em
peror with having written personally to the
Pope on the close connection of his proposed
State socialism with the Christian socialism
embodied in the Papal allocutions.
Another significant fact is that the Xorth
German Gazette throws over the National
Liberals wiih the declaration that the two
great parties, the Conservatives and the
Centerists, have come through the electoral
conflict intact and are pledged to maintain
the progress already made in socialist re
forms and to initiate and carry out new re
forms. Other organs inspired by Prince Bis
marck dilate upon the theme that in the
generous Catholic aspiration for regulated
social reorganization that party is working
upon common grdund with the Govern
ment The Government's policy is shown
in the Emperor's recent utterances.
THErBICE OF PEACE.
Dr. Windthorst's terms for an alliance of
the Center with the Government place the
school question in the first rank, and de
mand the abolition of all restrictions upon
the Catholic direction of Catholic schools.
The Center party is confident that Prince
Bismarck will accede to their terms so far
as touches this particular demand. Out
side the Center party opinion is to the same
effect, and we are perhaps on the eve of
witnessing one more great concession to the
Papal power.
In addressing the Council of State at the
close of to-day's session the Emperor made a
confession almost pathetic in its terms, and
certainly so in its tone, as to how the su
preme difficulties of the social problem had
unfolded themselves to him since he had be
gun the attempt to reach a practical solution
oi them. He declared that his aims were
not ideal. He did not hope to discover some
grand remedy for the cure of all social evils.
He desired rather and simply that a deter
mined effort should be made to find means
to satisfy the legal demands and the just
wishes of the working people.
AX INDUSTEIOUS MONAP.CH.
These words of the Emperor deeply im
pressed all who heard them and all unite in
praising the Emperor's assiduity. "When
presiding at the sessions of the Council or
over committees he does everything to ex
pedite business. He draws up lists of
speakers and discharges the duties both of
President and Secretary. He worked yes
terday eight hours continuously at the busi
ness of the Council of State and the confer
ence. It is now looked upon as doubtful whether
the conference will meet on the 15th instant
as had been arranged. M. Spuller, the
French Minister, hesitates over a final ac
ceptance of the invitation, because he has
discovered that the programme admits the
discussion and regulation of thp hours nf
labor cf ad nits. Underthe clause relating
to work done in mines the conference is to
decide on the limitation and duration of
shilts in mines; on precautions to be taken
in regard to unhealthy mines; also upon re
strictions in the output of coal by combina
tions to affect prices, and all this by inter
national agreement.
AFRAID OF THE EIGHT-HOTJE MOVEMENT.
51. Spuller communicated his views on
these points to the Marquis of Salisbury and
to Prince Bismarck, and advised that points
certain to raise the question of miners'
hours be withdrawn from the programme.
The Marquis of Salisbury approved of M.
Spuller's suggestion. Both probably feared
some deliverance ot the conference afiecting
miners and the eight-hour movement. The
clause will be modified so as to prevent any
debate upon the limitation of the length of
a miners' day, and the conference thus
begins to assume the character of an aca
demic reunion in which many more or
less competent men will suggest solutions of
social and economic problems.
The United States will certainly lose
nothing practical or of importance through
the absence of a representative. The
Chancellor will not attend the conference;
neither will Count Herbert Bismarck nor
any of the foreign diplomats. An official
stenographic report will -give to the world
whatever benefit can arise from the expres
sion of the ideas of economic specialists.
THE KAISEE IS SANGUINE.
TheEmperor continues to be excessively
sanguine of some practical results. Con
versing with members of the Council of
State at dinner after the business he referred
to the project of creating through the con
ference a permanent international board of
control empowered to convene international
congresses, to report how the condition of
each country is affected by the international
agreement to which the conference may tend
up. It is altogether improbable that the
Powers will consent to this merely to gratify
the Emperor's wishes.
There was a reception after dinner and all
the delegates were presented to the Empress.
The Emperor talked much with Freese,
Stummand and Schwartzkoof. Prince Bis
marcb discussed the elections.
In the Imperial arsenal the working day
was formerly 12 honrs long. It has now
been reduced to ten hours. Workingmen's
committees have been formed among the
employes in the Government coal mines.
SOCIALISM TO BE SUPrBESSED.
The Boersen Zeitunp affirms ihat Prince
Bismarck's recent interviews with the Em
peror resulted in a decision to "take meas
ures to prevent injury to the State men
aced by the ill directed current of public
opinion."
If any clear meaning can be put upon
this phrase it must have been that the Em
peror has asserted that fresh attempts shall
be made for the suppression ot the social
propog3nda, as couducted by others.
The Ditch Socialists Nieuwenbuys and
Van Beveren returned here with passports
and were permitted to remain and assist
their friends during the elections. The
Kreuz Zeitung declares that universal suf
frage is a political monstrosity and that it
should be abolished.
Returns have been received of the election
of 9 members, as follows: Conservatives,
C; Imperialists, 1; National Liberal , 13;
Centerists, 7; German Liberals, 22; Social
ists, 13; Guelph, 1; Democrats, 6.
THEY OUGHT TO KNOW.
A Story Told of the Westlnffhouse Airbrake
Company Flatly Denied Mr. Card Mot
So Emphatic, Tbonsh, as 1 Mr. G corse
Westiagboosr.
A rumor gaiued currency last evening
that the "Westinghonse Airbrake Company
intended to distribute $2,000,000 or over of
its stock at $75 below the market value to
the railroad superintendents of America.
Several members of the company were vis
ited, with but little success so far as elicit
ing definite information on the subject was
concerned.
W. W. Card, the Secretary, would not
give any positive answer to any interroga
tion, averring that the company was not in
the habit of giving its business to the pub
lic The company had often been placed
under many annoying imputations regard
ing its affairs, but had weathered it, and
would no doubt do so again, but so far as
giving any of its business matters to the
public, simply because a wild rumor had
been started, it never would. "When the
query was cut direct as to the stability of
the report Mr. Card replied, after a slight
hesitation: "I have nothing whatever to
say."
Mr. George "Westinghonse was also inter
rogated. He declared that the whole story
was a wild rumor containing no truth what
ever. No stock had been issued within two
years. He did not know how such a rumor
could hare originated. As to whether or
no the fact that the company desired to
introduce its brakes on the freight cars of
the company had anything to do with it,
Mr. "Westinghonse thought not. The com
pany was anxious enough to have its inven
tion in general use on the freight cars of
America, but it required no introduction,
as it had been used for ten years.
From the above it can be seen that no
definite reply could be elicited from either
of the gentlemen interviewed, and as H. H.
Westinghonse and John Caldwell, the
manager and treasurer, are not in the city,
the tacts in the case must be inferred.
This much there is about it There is
hardly a doubt that the distribution of uch
stock and the possession of it by railroad su
perintendents throughout the land would be
of great benefit to the company, now that
the iaea of placing air-brakcj on freight
cars is being agitated very widely. If this
should be done, the vast advantage of the
"Westinghonse Company in having its stock
distributed among the individuals who
make the contracts of the various roads can
beimagined.
CRIMINAL CALENDAR.
The Prisoners In the County Jail Who Are
Ileld for Trial at the Dlarch Term
of Conrt Five Chorees of Harder.
Two Being Against Women.
"Warden Berlin last night completed the
jail calendar for the March term of the
Criminal Court, which opens to-morrow.
The number of prisoners now in jail await
ing trial at this term is 127. The total num
ber of cases is 137, and is about the average
for this time of the year. Murder is the
cnargc against live oi tnc prisoners, two ot
them women, as follows: George Coulson,
Alex. Killen, Annie McGuire alias
Sweet, Agnes Taukert, Louis Wagner. Lar
ceny, as usual, heads the list with 40 cases.
The cases of assault and battery of various
kinds are also numerous. The list of illegal
liquor sellers is unusually small, there be
ine but three cases.
Preparations are being made to try Alex
Killen alone for the murder of Mrs. Budert
at Tarcntum on December 21, the officers
working on the case having, for the present,
given up hope of arresting Peter Grifien
and Eggy Conroy. The trial will be an in
teresting one. Another case which will at
tract considerable attention is the charge of
false pretenses against August P. Geisler,
the employment agent. Agnes Tankert
will be tried for the strangling of her new
born babe. Wagner is the man who is said
to have struck a fellow workman on the
head with a hammer at a livery stable in
Minersville.
0SE FAKE FOR THE TRIP.
Reduced Rntes Offered to Delegates to the
Scotch-Irish Conventions.
Colonel Echols, by pledging the local
railroads that 2,000 delegates would attend
the Scotch-Irish Convention in Jnne, has
secured a promise of a rate of one fare for
the round trip.
The local roads agreed to see the passen
ger managers of the various railroad asso
ciations and have them indorse the rate.
Sympathy for Mrs. Stephenson.
The city school principals met at the Cen
tral Board oi Education yesterday afternoon
and passed resolutions on the death of the
late Prof. L N. Stephenson. A letter was
sent to the widow of the deceased conveying
the sympathy of those present.
The Ordinnnco is Liivr.
Early yesterday morning Mayor McCal
lin signed the appropriation ordinance.
The document, however, did not become a
law until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when
Clerk William McCleary attested it by af
fixing his signature.
Ren Over by His Engine.
Henry Cooper, the fireman on the dinkey
engine of Carnegie's Thirty-third street
mill, fell under his engine, yesterday, and
had one of his legs crushed in such a
manner that amputation was necessitated.
The injured man is ia the West Penn
Hospital.

FINISHED THEIR SESSIONS.
The Board of Viewer on the Herr's Island
Approaches Completes In Work An
Appeal on Bchnir of the Government
Tho Price Thought Too Sleep.
District Attorney "Walter Lyon was asked
yesterday as to the progress made in the
condemnation of land at the Pittsburg ap
proach of the proposed Herr's Island dam,
to be built by the Government as a portion
of the waterway improvement of the rivers
near Pittsburg.
Mr. Lyon stated that the viewers who
assessed damages for the Pittsburg approach
had finished their sessions. The following
gentlemen acted as the board: D. B. Oli
ver, "W. "W. Young and T. C. Lazear. The
property considered belonged to Captain J.
J. Vandercrilr, and after consideration
awarded $40,000 damages From this
award Mr. Lyon appealed on behalf
ol the Government, giving as his
reason the belief that the damages
awarded were partly actual and partly con
tingent. He insisted on only allowing
actual damages and after some sharp fencing
a compromise was arranged bv which Cap
tain Vandergrift will receive $30,000. Mr.
Lvon thus saved Uncle Sam the neat sum of
$10,000.
The Allegheny side will be next consid
ered. The Board of Viewers has been ap
pointed in the persons of Messrs. John D.
Shafer, Thomas Bourke and Charles At
well. They will meet some time next week
and assess the damages. The city authori
ties of Allegheny mav offer some resistance
to the action of" the Government viewers.
It will be remembered that the Allegheny
Committee on Wharves refused to rec
ommend an ordinance to Councils
awarding the land needed to the Govern
ment, the land aforesaid being a portion of
Allegheny wharf. The grounds of the re
fusal were allegations of injury to the prop
erty of Allegheny citizens resulting from
the erection of the dam. As the same ob
jections are being actively agitated at pres
ent some litigation may be indulged in.
Colonel Merrill will arrive here shortly and
will rush the erection of the dam as fast as
possible, when the title to the approaches is
made certain.

Boys Find nn TJncoBscions Woman Under an
Office on the Sonthslde.
The attention of some boys playing near
the office of the Barchfield Quarry Com
pany, at the head of South Thirty-third
street, was attracted yesterday afternoon by
the barking of a doer. A woman was found
lying under the office in an unconscious
condition. She was thinly clad, and seemed
as thongh she had been exposed to the cold
for a couple of days. She was removed to the
Southside Hospital, where she was still un
conscious at a late hour last night.
Police Captain Stewart stated he believed
the woman to be Mrs. Binehart Huber,
whose husband inquired at the police station
about a week ago to have the police take
charge of her.
A Fall Trio.
Two men, who gave their names as John
Hadfield and William Jacob, and a pretty"
girl, 18 years old, whom they were tryinsto
escort home, were last night arrested on

three were intoxicated, the girl being so
drunk that she could not give her name.

ROOSEYELT TO BLAME
For the Appointment of a Violator of
the Civil Service Laws.
ALL THE REST PLEAD IGNORANCE.
Dr. Horvin Green Makes a Bitter Attack
Upon Mr. Wanamaker.
AFIEEALARM IN THE WHITE H0DSE.
Contest Cases Being Considered In Both the House and
Senate.
Census Superintendent -Porter and Mr.
Wanamaker blame Roosevelt for the ap
pointment of Shidy, the civil-service-law
violator. The President of the Western
Union made a bitter attack upon the Post
master General to his face. The Montana
Senatorial controversy is still unsettled.
Washington-, March 1. At the open
ing of the session of (he House c ommittee
investigating the charges against the Civil
Service Commission to-day, Representa
tive Ewart' read a telegram from ex
Civil Service Commissioner Edgerton
saying that the charges that Camp
bell had given out civil service
questions was never made known to him
(Edgerton) until the evening before he
wrote his letter to the President.
He added that the reason why it was with
held was best known to those who condoned
it. Ex-Commissioner Oberly had testified
the other day that Mr. Edgerton refused to
have anything to do with the charge against
Campbell.
POETER WAS FOOLED.
Superintendent of the Census Porter was
the first witness called and gave the com
mission his story of Shidy's reappointment
to a clerkship in the Census Office. Com
missioner Roosevelt had come to him and
said that he (Roosevelt) thought Shidy was
unjustly dismissed from the Milwaukee
Postofiice, and asked him to appoint Shidy
to a position in the Census Bureau. Before
his appointment Shidy had passed only a
fair examination.
On cross-examination by Representative
Ewart, Mr. Porter said he would not have
appointed Shidy to the place had he been
told that he had made false certifications in
the Milwaukee postofiice. In answer to
further questions Mr. Porter said that
Shidy's appointment had not taken place
until six weeks after the request of Mr.
Roosevelt, and that protests had been filed
aeainst his appointment. He further recol
lected, he said, that Mr. Roosevelt had said
to him that Shidy was a weak man and had
yielded to coercion, and that Postmaster
Paul had turned him out because he had
testified to the truth.
EOOSEVELT'S sioet.
Commissioner Roosevelt was then called
and gave the committee a history of the last
investigation of the Milwaukee postomce.
He said that Shidy, although reluctant, had
come forward at once to testify. The com
mission told him that it woulddo all in its
power to protect him from the consequences
of telling the trnth, but not from the conse
quences of his wrongdoing in the office.
Mr. Roosevelt then related how the com
mission had made efforts to have Shidy re
instated, and, failing in that, to have him
appointed in the Census Office.
"Remember," he said, "that Shidy was
not dismissed for doing wrong, but was dis
missed for trying to atone for it by doing
well, and he had confessed, and expressed a
deep, humble and apparently sincere regret
for what he had done."
He (Roosevelt) felt, he declared, that the
Government must protect its own witnesses
who are persecuted for telling the truth. He
would not interfere with the punishment ot
these men lor their wrongdoing.
THE WEONO MAN.
Commissioner Thompson, having taken
the stand, said that, after hearing Shidy's
testimony of yesterday, he did not think be
was a man who ought to have a place under
the Government, for the reason that be
showed a moral obliquity which unfitted
him for employment in the Government
service. In his testimony before the com
mission, Shidy freely confessed, and said he
would not commit such a wrong again,
although yesterday he had said that he
would do the same thing again under simi
lar circumstances. Such a man was not to
be trusted.
Commissioner Lyman testified that the
preliminary report made in the Milwaukee
case by Messrs. Doyle, Secretary, and
Webster, the Chief Examiner of the Com
mission, previous to the reorganization of
the commission, had not been acted upon by
the Commission because he (Lyman) could
not get Mr. Edgerton to co-operate
with him. He did not feel auth
orized to act upon it himself,
because of the conflict in the testimony of
the various witnesses. Commissioner
Oberly, his colleague, had then been ap
pointed to the Commissionership of Indian
Affairs. When he (Lyman) became sole
Commissioner, the work upon him was
overwhelming and crushing, leaving him
but little time to attend to the matter.
A LAUGHABLE FEATURE.
Ex-Commissioner Oberly also made a
statement concerning the preliminary re
port, saying that it was submitted in' writing
after he had left the office, although he bad
known its nature shortly before he left. He
caused a good deal of laughter by saying
that when Postmaster Paul, of Milwaukee,
had been appointed by President Cleveland
he was Vice President of the Milwaukee
Civil Service Association.
Postmaster General Wanamaker was called
as a witness, and asked particularly concern
ing his action in the case of Shidy. So lar
as he remembered, Mr. Roosevelt had told
him that Shidy had aiaed the com
mission in its investigation of the
Milwaukee postofiice, and tbe post
master had taken ofiense and dismissed
him. Mr. Roosevelt had conveyed the im
pression that Shidy was au excellent man
and worthy ot tbe interest taken in him,
and Mr. Roosevelt asked him whether he
had any objection to him (Roosevelt) seek
ing a place for him. He told Mr. Roosevelt
that he had not. He subsequently wrote a
letter to tbe Superintendent of the Census,
saying that he saw no objection to Shidy's
appointment in the office.
TVANAMAKEK DID NOT KSOT.
Mr. Roosevelt had not told him of the
charges that existed against Shidy of mak
ing false certifications in the Milwaukee
Postofiice. He had read the commission's
report on the postofiice before this action of
his with regard to Shidy, but he had read it
with reference to Postmaster Paul, and not
with reference to Shidy. He did not think
that eiiher of the civil service commission
ers had asked for the removal oi Johnson or
Fahsel, the other members of the Board of
Examiners of the Milwaukee postofiice.
He was asked whether, if it had been
stated to him that Shidy was guilty of the
charges against him, he would have enter
tained a request for personal indorsement
for a position for him. Mr. Wanamaker re
plied certainly not, and that he would con
sider it his duty to warn the head of a de
partment against such a person.
The committee then adjourned until Mon
day. MINI ABSENT MEMBERS
Prevent the Consideration of the Feather
stone-Cate Election Contest.
Washington, March L In the House
to-day Mr. Honk, ot Tennessee, called up
the contested election case of Featherstone
versus Cate, from the First district of Ar
kansas. The opening speech in support of
the claims of the contestant was made by
Mr. Hanger, of Wisconsin.
At tbe conclusion of Mr. Hanger's speech
Mr. Outhwaite, of Ohio, took the floor, but
in view of the small attendance of members
moved an adjournment, which motion was
agreed to yeas, 114; nays, 107.
ATTACK ON WANAMAKEB.
The President of the Western TJnlon'Very
Bitter Against the Postmaster Gen
eral He Thinks tho flatter Is
Exceeding Ills Power.
Washington, March 1. Dr. Norvin
Green, President of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, to-day continued
his statement respecting the pendin
postal telegraph bill, before tbe Hous
Committee on Postofiices and Post Roads.
Taking up the details of the Postmaster
General's plan, Dr. Green said that at many
of the postofiices there would not be suffi
cient telegraph business to pay expenses. It
had been suggested that the postmasters at
these offices might learn to work the wires.
But they would not do so, as thev were
usually business men and fully em
ployed in caring for their shops. Then
special corps of operators would have to be
organized in the large cities and they would
have to be placed in rooms separate from
the postoffice to preserve the secrecy of the
the messages. Large battery rooms would
have to be procured, and altogether, the
present postoffice buildings could not be
made to accommodate the telegraph system.
Dr. Green made a comparison between
our domestic telegraph rates with those in
Europe, showing that for all distances over
500 miles our rates were much lower. Yet.
said he, the Postmaster General would
establish a uniform rate for 1,500 mile dis
tances, a distance over which no single
wire had ever been successfully worked.
The Postmaster General, in his order fix
ing rates for Government business, had
made an order which the Board of Directors
of the Western "Union had decided was
practically an order of confiscation of their
business. The doctor became somewhat ex
cited at this point, and, looking hard at
Postmaster General Wanamaker, who stead
fastly returned the gaze, he exclaimed:
And yet he said he is on first rato terms with
the telegraph companies. He may congratu
late himself that he can smile and smile, and
murder while he smiles. Wo propose to con
trovert that order (fixing the rates for Govern
ment messages) in tbe conrts, and to demon
strate that it is not one half of the
cost of the service. We have not received a
dollar for that service since la9t July. Wo
woold not accept the rate. One word more: I
don't know whether I am right, but this is the
way it looks to a man up a tree. This
is a government of the people, by tho
people and for tbe people. In England
and other monarchical governments, in
Canada, and in the so-called French
Republic, the Cabinet Ministers are members
of the departments and act as members of the
Legislature. But in a constitutional form of
government, as it is here, the Executive Legis
lative and Judicial Departments are made
independent departments. Tbe President mar
recommend from time to time such legislation as
may be needed. This proposed legislation has
failed to receive his recommendation, although
submitted in the Postmaster General's report
before his annual message was sent to Con
gress. I have never beard before that a Cabi
net Minister may come before a committee to
coach it and help his pet schemes through when
they have not been recommended by the Presi
dent. NO CONCLUSION REACHED.
The Montana Senatorial Controversy Still In
the Hands of the Committee.
Washington, March 1. The ' Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections took
up the Montana Senatorial controversy for
consideration to-day. Several hours were
devoted to discussing some of the legal
questions involved, but no conclusion was
reached. In fact, the members of the com
mittee had bnt just received the printed
copies of the arguments made by Messrs.
Paine and JenKs two weeks ago and had had
neither time nor opportunity to study them.
As to the questions of fact in the case the
members of tbe committee knew little or
nothing, and Chairman Hoar and Mr. Gray
were appointed a sub-committee to collect
the facts and report to the committee at a
meeting to be held next Saturday.
A Fire Alarm in tbe White House.
Washington, March 1. One of the

THEI CLAIMED TOO MUCH.
Tho Wheeling; Bridge Company Receives a
Backset From tho Conns.
rsrzciAi. teleobam to the dispatch, i
Wheeling, W. Va., March 1. A de
cision of a great deal of importance to river
and bridge men was handed down in Part I
of the Circuit Court, Judge Paull, this
morning. The decision was upon the appli
cation of the newly organized Wheeling
Bridge Company for the condemnation of a
strip of ground lying a couple of hundred
feet south of the suspension bridge of the
Wheeling and Belmont Bridge Company, on
tba islaud, and used by that company for
the location of a guy pier for the support of
their bridge.
The Wheeling and Belmont Company set
up the claim that the land was necessary for
the maintenance of their bridge, and further,
that under the rights acquired by the sale of
the old Ebenezer Zane lerry franchise, in
1847, and by subsequent acts of Congress,
and of the Legislatures of Virginia and
West Virginia, they had the exclusive right
to maintain a toll bridge within a limit of
one-half mile north and south of the exist
ing suspension bridze. The Court decided
to-day that no exclusive right existed, and
dismissed the pleas so far as they bore upon
that right. The matter will likely go to the
higher Courts.

Chilly
TRAINS USABLE TO EMEU THE CITY.
Great Loss and Suffering Repotted,
Swollen Hirers.
Caused by
Engineer Elsefier, of New York, says that
New Orleans is in dangerof being wiped out
by the flood, and that the peril will not be
past for several days. Cincinnati is still
suffering from too much water, and much
misery is reported along the raging rivers.
.SPECIAL TELEOIIAM TO THE DISPATCH. I
New York, March 1. The danger of a
disastrous flood in the Lower Mississippi is
appallingly great, if the opinion of an emi
nent New York engineer who has thor
oughly investigated the matter is sound.
Mr. William L. Elsefier, who for nearly
ten years has made a study of the subject as
a civil engineer, has reached some startling
conclusions, which the present situation in
the valley seem3 to justify. In discussing
the matter with a reporter Mr. Elsefier said
to-day:
"The Mississippi river is gorged for 600
miles from Helena, Ark., to the head of the
passes below New Orleans. The causes of
this gorge are the obstructions that have
been placed atanumberof points, especially
at Plum Point reach above Memphis,atLake
Providence reach above Vicksburg, in the
channel of the river at New Orleans, the
jetties at the mouth, together with other
works in the channel and on the banks.
"The situation at New Orleans to-day is
one of far greater danger than the country
understands, and is a matter of greater im
portance to the business interests of this
metropolis than most people imagine. The
water at New Orleans is now within about
nine inches of the high water mark of the
flood of 1884, but there has been no flood in
any of its tributaries to cause this condition.
The flood now sweeping down the Ohio Val
ley will not reach New Orleans for two
weeks.
"If there should come another rain or
flood in any of the tributaries of the river
within a week or two to add to the volume
of the flood, now on its way to the Gulf, tbe
peril to New Orleans and-of all the territory
in the lower valley would be appalling."
RIVER STATIONARY AT CINCINNATI
Floods Wash Ont Kallroad Tracks
and
Cause a Suspension of Business.
Cincinnati, March 1. The river has
been stationary since 4 o'clock this after
noon, the gauge marking 6 ieet 11 inches.
The weather has been cold. Snow fell fitfully
during the day, so light, however, that this
evening the ground is not even whitened.
Business on the river front is at a standstill
and several boats are waiting at the wharves
unable to leave. At 8:30 this morning the
W. N. Chancellor, from Portsmouth, arrived
above the Newport bridge. As its smoke
stacks are lower than those of the other
boats it made the attempt and succeded in
passing under the highest part ol the span
with the small margin of three inches to
spare.
At the Grand Central depot all the roads
except two, the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Kentucky Cenlral, have been compelled to
use the temporary depots established by
them a few days since. A track which was
to be used lor freight storage purposes, was
laid on tbe embankment at Eighth street
last summer. During tbe nigbt the water
washed out a considerable portion of this
track.
At midnight the river was 56 feet 10
inches on a stand.
FE0ST AT NEW ORLEANS.
Track Farmers Are Heavy Sufferers by the
Cold Snap.
New Orleans, La., March 1. The
weather this morning was the coldest of the
season throughout Louisiana and the greater
part of Mississippi, the mercury at all points
outside of this city going below 32 and
doing great damage to cane, corn, vegeta
bles, etc.
The truck farmers along the Illinois Cen
tral Bailroad between this city and Jackson
are heavy sufferers, the freeze having
blighted their prospects for early vegetables
and fruits. The indications are that the
mercury will go still lower.
BURYING THE TICTIMS.
Thirty-Nine Bodies Recovered and Three
Persons Yet Hissing;.
Prescott, Aeiz., March 1. The work of
burying the victims of the Walnut Grove
dam disaster is about completed. Thirty
nine bodies were recovered and identified,
while three more persons are known to have
been lost.
Sheriff O'Neill has arrested Daniel Berks,
the drunken messenger, and sent him to
Prescott Jail.
There are no traces to be seen of either of
the dams. The town of Seymour is wiped
out; not one stone stands to mark its site.
FLOODS IN CANADA.
Sunday Imbor Necessary to Save Bridges
From Destruction.
Quebec, March 1. The water has risen
to such a height in the Chandiere river that
the Government Engineer has had to apply
to Cardinal Taschereau for permission for
his men to work on Sunday in order to save
the new bridges on that river, which are
threatened by the floods.
Utah Tides st New Jersey.
Egg Habbob, N. J., March 1. Heavy
wind storms have caused unusually high
tides here. Sea Isle City is submerged, and
at Clarktown the citizens are fleeing to the
highlands for safety. The trains on several
lines have to run over the meadows with thp
greatest caution.
EvaDsvllle Hopes for the Best.
Evansvixle, Ind., March 1. The river
here still continues to rise, but the rate has
decreased to half an inch an hour. The
gauge at 6 p. m. marked 42.6 large. River
men predict that the rise will not exceed 44
feet. There are no reports of serious dam
age as yet.
Falling at St. I.oaIs.
St. Louis, March 1. The river is falling
rapidly, having,declined one foot in 24 hours.
The gauge to-night marks eight feet. Ice is
making fast and by to-morrow the river will
probably be bank lull.
Murderer Smith Not Yet Immersed.
The baptism of William Smith, the col

CONSPIRACY CHARGED
Against John Wanamaker and n Number of
Other Philadelphia Merchants S20.000
Damages Asked Becnnseofna
Alleced Boycott.
(SPECIAL IZUCUUTO TUX DISPATCH. t
Philadelphia, March 1. A law suit
of a highly interesting character was begun
here to-day against John Wanamaker and
other merchants by Charles Weinman, a
large retail dealer at 927 Market street. Mr.
Weinman brings suit for conspiracy
to injure him in business and in
fact, to prevent him from carrying on busi
ness at all. He claims $20,000 damages.
Though Wanamaker is onlv cne of tbe
defendants in the suit" Mr. Wein
man charges him with being ex
tremely instrumental in spreading malij
ious reports about his, (Weinman's) busi
ness and character, and with being in real
ity the head and front of the conspiracy.
Mr. Weinman's charge is that tbe defend
ants in the present suit spread reports about
fraud in his failure and did this with the
intentto injure him. The firms he mentions
as being conspicuous in the matter and
whom he makes defendants are: John
Wanamaker, Amos Hilborn & Co., Trym
by.Hunt & Co., Philip Schaefer and Groves,
Wilson & Groves. On the first of the present
year, however, Weinman resumed business
at the old stand himself. He made a settle
ment with his creditors that enabled him to
do this. He seemed to have plenty of money
and he made all bis purchases in spot cash,
asking no credit.
Weinman declares, however, that the
firms mentioned had entered into a care
fully arranged conspiracy to prevent
him doing business at all. He says
that these firms caused it to be
made known to all the great
furniture manufacturers in Chicago and
Grand Bapids that they (the Philadelphia
firms) would not purchase a dollar's worth
from tbe manufacturers if the lat
ter sold a dollar's worth of
goods to Weinman. This conspiracy
was so firmlv formed, Weinman alleges, and
was so effective that he was not able to pur
chase any furniture at all, save in a round
about and tecret fashiou.
A CONTINENT'S HEALTH.
Report of tho Pnn-Amerlcsn Concress
Committee on Sanltnry Regulations
International Resulatlons for
the Isolation of Infected
Localities Recommended.
Washington, March 1. The Pan
American Congress has adopted the report
of the committee on the subject of sanitary
regulations. The report suggests that inter
national regulations for the isolation of disease-infected
localities be adopted, and the
following recommendations are made:
That taking tbe existing state of the rela
tions between the nations ot America, it is as
practicable as it is advisable for the promotion
of these relations to esubliih perfect accord
with respect to sanitary regulations.
That the ereater part of the ports of South
America op tbe Atlantic are guided and gov
erned by the decisions of the International
Sanitary Convention of Bio Janeiro of 1SS7.
That although it does rot appear that the
plans of the Sanitary Congress of Lima, of
1889. have passed into the category of interna
tional compacts, it is to be hoped that they will
be accepted by tbe Governments that partici
pated in tbe said congress, because those plans
were discussed and approved by medical men
of acknowledged ability.
That the Sanitary Convention of Rio Janeiro
of 1SS7, and the draft of tba Congress of
Lima of 18S9, agree in their essential provisions
to such an extent that it may be said they con
stitute one set of rules and regulations.
That if there were duly observed in all Amer
ica, they would prevent, under any circum
stances the conflict which usually arises be
tween the obligation to care for the health
of the peonle and the freedom of communica
tion between countries.
That the nations of Central and North Amer
ica were not represented either in the sanitary
convention oi itio Janeiro or tne congress ox
Lima; bat that they might easily accept and
apply to Their respective ports on both oceans
the sanitary regulations before cited.

LAIINGOtf OF HANDS.
Mrs. Kendal, tho Koted English
Actres?, is Endeavoring to
CURB MBS. BLAINE, JR., THAT WAT.
The
Treatment is a Combination ot Faith
Care and Massage.
SHE SAIS IT IS ONLY COMMON BE5SB,
Bat Others Asstrt That She Possesses a Magnetic
Healing Power.
Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., is slowly re
covering from her severe illness. She gives
the credit for this to Mrs. Kendal, the En
glish actress, who has visited her every
morning for two weeks past. Mrs. Kendal
is believed to possess some magnetic power
of healing, but denies that she uses any but
common sense methods.
New Yobk, March 1. In one of tho
pleasant apartments at the Percival, sur
rounded by testimonials of affection from
her friends and admirers, Marie Kevins
Blaine is slowly progressing toward recov
ery. An open fire burns cheerfully behind
the polished fender in the little parlor.
Mme. Modjeska's gift of growing terns nods
and sways in a corner; pretty hangings from
an unknown donor drape the mantel, and,
photographs of familiar faces smile from
unexpected hiding places.
There are a pretty litter of bric-a-brac and
a little tray of delicate cups, and behind the
screens, propped up with cushions, rests
the invalid. Disease has been merciful and
spared her beauty while it racked ber body.
A gown of creamy silk, with frills of laca
about tbe open neck, is fastened with s little
twist of pearl-set gold. Soft pink blankets
conceal the helpless leg in its plaster cast,
and tbe old bright smile and merry chatter
make one forget the illness whichkeeps her a
prisoner.
SHE IS OF GOOD COURAGE.
She talks bravely of the dread possibility
of never recovering entirely the use of the?
leg, which rheumatism has left with a pecu
liar malady having a scientific title which
signifies an acute inflammation of the carti
lage of the knee. And she hopes, if acting
be out ol the question, in the future she may
be able to do something with her voice in a
musical way to support herself.
Two weeks ago she lay helpless in the sur
geon's bed, suspended bv straps and bands
depending from the ceiling to sustain her
body with the least possible strain. One leg,
wrapped in its heavy cast of plaster, could
not be moved; one hand lay helpless and
powerless. She relused the nourishment
ordered by her physicians, and seemed to
have lost all hope of recovery. She had a
caller, a cheery, bright, hopeful woman,
who said just the right words to rouse he i
and then went away.
The next morning the caller came again,
tossed aside wrap and gloves, tied a nurse's
apron about her waist and bent over that
hospital bed an hour rubbing, manipula
ting and smoothing the invalid. At night
the visitor played to a crowded enthusiastic
audience. All New York is talking of the
womanliness and sweet graciousness of the
English actress, and yet in no role she plays
are these displayed so exquisitely as at the
bedside of Mrs. Blaine.
A DEVOTED FEIEND.
Every morning for the past two weeks
Mrs. Kendal has devoted one or two hours
to rubbing the invalid with her magics
touch, applying some kind of oil of her own
compounding, cheering her with her san
guine, hopeful words, persuading her to
take a little nourishment, once each hour to
essay little efforts of motion which seemed
to the invalid impossible, and coaxing,
persuading and charming her back to
iife again. One morning, with no
questions or comments, she lifted her in
in her blankets out of the bed, which
she had not left for six months, into
the invalid's chair and raised the
head a little. The next day she did the
same, and adjusted the chair a little more
uprightly, until now Mrs. Blaine half sits
and half reclines in such a way that she can
amuse herself touching the keys of her piano
with one hand. One day Mrs Kendal per
suaded her to use the hand she had not nsed
for so lone, despite the pain it cost.
The next day a little greater effort was in
sisted upon, and now that is the hand Mrs.
Blaine offers her friends in trreeting. It seems
this little magic gift of healing has been
exercised beiore in the hospitals ot London,
where Mrs. Kendal always has her visiting
day, and where she enjoys more than any
thing else to take a half dead baby which
the doctors have given up and nurse it back
to life acrain. She knows nothintr of the
science ot medicine, rejects tbe idea of hav
ing any special healing power, doesn't be
lieve in Christian science or tbe mind cure,
and insists that it is nothing wonderful at
all, but just the utilizing of simple common
sense. She insists that she must see Mrs.
Blaine on her crutches before long.
A MODEST ACTEESS. '
Mrs. Blaine said to one of the friends that
gathered about her last night at her usual
little levee between 5 and 6: "Mrs. Kendal
didn't want me to say anything about her
coming here to do all these things for me,
because she didn't like it to get in the news
papers lest people think she only did it for
notoriety, and I didn't say anything, but
somehow it leaked out, and now I can't help
talking about all her kindness and how
wonderfully she has helped me. Some
one said the other day that tbey should think
the doctors would consider it rather a reflec
tion on their skill and would object. On
tbe contrary, Dr. Wyncoop, who has been
like a father to me, and to whose skill, to
gether with h'is counsel, I owe my life, very
heartily indorses all that Mrs. Kendal does.
It doesn't conflict with his treatment in any
way, and I face the same medicines, but it
is wonderful nursing a magnetic something
which she gives out trom her own personal
ity that seems to give me new life."
