SECT10XAL MEASURES DEXOUXCED
Ocala, Fla., Dec 8. Early in the
forenoon session of the Farmers' Alliance
the financial policy of the order came up for
discussion, under the report of the Commit
tee on Legislation. This report as to the
financial policy contained the following
amended demands:
First We demand tho abolition of National
UanUs; we demand that the Gorernracnt shall
establish sub-treasuries, or depositories in the
several States, which shall loan money directly
to tho people at a low rate of Interest, not to
exceed 2 per cent per annum, on non-perishable
farm products, and also upon real estate, with
proper limitations upon the qnantitv of land
and amount of money. We demand that tho
amount of circulating medium be speedily in
creased to not less than SO per capita.
Dealing in Tutures Denounced.
Second A e demand that Congress shall pass
such lausas shall eflcctually prevent the deal
ing in futures on all agricultural aud mechani
cal productions prcserig a stringent system
of procedure in trials such as shall secure tho
prompt conviction of offenders and the imposi
tion of such penalties as shall secure the most
perlict compliance uith ttie law.
Third We condemn ihe Mirer bill recently
passed by Congress, and demand in lieu there
of tlie free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Fourth V e demand the passage of the law
prohibiting alien's ownership of land, and that
Congress lake prompt action tci dense some
plan; and that all lands now held by railroads
and other corporations in excess ot such as is
actuall used and needt-d by them be reclaimed
by the Government and held for actual settlers
only.
Equal Chances for Industries.
Fifth Believing in the doctrine of equal
rights to all. and special privileges to none, we
demand that our national legislation shall be so
framed in the future as not to build up one in
dustry at the expense of another. We lurthcr
demand a removal of the existing heavy tariff
tax from the necessaries of life that the poor
of our land tuut have. We further demand a
just and equitable system of graduated tax en
incomes. We believe that the money ot the
country should be kept ds much as possible in
the hands of i tie people, andheuce. we demand
that all National and State revenues shall be
limned to the necessary expenses of the Gov
ernment, economically "and nunestly adminis
tered. hixrli We demand the most rigid, honest
and jus: State and Nation? 1 governmental con
trol and supervision of the means ot public
communication and transportation, and if this
control ana supervision does not remove the
abuses now existing, we demand the Govern
ment ownership of such means of communica
tion and transportation.
A spirited debate followed the introduc
tion ot this report.
A I'lea for Pure Food.
Delegate Carr, of North Carolina, pre
sented a memorial of the National Farmers'
Alliance to the Congress ot the United
States, with reference to the Conger lard
hill, now pending.
This memorial recites that the delegates
to the National Alliance Supreme Council
representing the Farmers" Alliance organi
zations in the various States and Territories
ask that Congress enact as soon as possible
Senate bill No. 3,991, known as the Pad
dock pure food bill, which was introduced
ly Senator I'addock, of Nebraska, at the
instance of the Farmers' Alliance of that
State, for the reasons that the delegates be
lieve that ii the said bill becomes a law it
will prevent adulteration and misbranding
of food preparations and drugs, now so
largely and generally practiced to the great
iujury of the agricultural iuterests ot the
country, the health of the people and the
morals of the business public.
The memorial continues:
15ut while praying for tbepassage of the Pad
dock pure lood bill as a measure of justice to
all our interest-, we desire to most earnestly
and caipliaticillj piot-s. again-t the passage
M Hone Bill No. 11.503, known as the Conger
lard Liil, for the leason that ii proposes to ex
tend the taxing power of the Goernmcrtann
increase the list of articles upon which taxes
are levied at a time when the tendency is
toivaul reduced taxation and the demand is
being made Jor the icinor.il of laxes from arti
cles if necessity and daily use among the
people.
Denounced as Sectional Legislation.
It is sectional legislat.ou, and therefore the
Industrial morcment declares its open and un
ceasing hostility to it. Jn the war of the near
Suture, which will be declared by us against
sectionalism, the farmer and his lriends will bo
the citadel around which the heaviest battles
ar" t be fought. We are not content in simply
Ftiaking hands acro-s a bloodv chasm. Our
work is to till up a ml efface the cbasm. We arc
as many as. the Marcs, but one as the sea.
Sectionalism must not, shall not, live. Upon
ur banner, written above and below the plow,
the sheaf and the cotton bale is anew derice
born of a new era; it is -"Fraternity and unitv."
Id this spirit the Conger lard bill has met with
the opposition of the farmer both North and
South.
Sotue short speeches followed the intro
duction of the memorial, and then the con
vention adopted the following resolution,
amid tremendous applause:
"Kcsolved, That we are opposed to the
Conger bill, and tbzt we favor the passage
of the I'addock pure food bill."
About half of the delegates, with ladies,
went on au excursion to-day to Homossn,
the phosphate fields, and the Gull coast. It
is now predicted that the Alliance may re
main in session for three days longer.
FOTJTH DAKOTA'S EXPEHSES.
Aiiovcmcnt Looking to the Abolishment
of Manj btate Ollices.
Yankton, S. D., Dec. 8. A movement
is in progress among the members-elect of
the Legislature looking to the abolishment
of many of the State offices in the interest of
economy. The finances of South Dakota
are in bad shape. Warrants on the Treas
urer remain unpaid, and the expense con
tinues greater than the revenue.
Independents and Democrats will con
trol the State Legislature, and they pro
pose to abolish the offices of Commissioner
of Immigration, Uailroad Commissioners
and State Veterinary Surgeon, aud to cut
off the militia appropriation and reduce the
Legislative expenses from S125.000 to 573,
000 lor the se-sion. An effort will also be
made to reduce the representation to about
100 members a greater number than many
of the wealthy States possess.
THE UNION PACIFIG
Director Ames Talks About the Company's
Finamial Condition.
Boston. Dec. 8. Director F. L. Ames,
of .lie Union Pacific, says in an interview:
;Thc floating debt of the Union Pacific was
fully explained in last year's report. It has
been reduced the past year by 54,000,000,
and is now about 511,600,000. We sold
S7.100.000 collateral tru bonds issued
against the Oregon Hallway and Naviga
tion stork, and could atone time have sold
all the $13,000,000. but thought them worth
more, so that on account of the Oregan Hail
wav and Navigation stock purchased we now
have ?6,OO0,O00 bonds unsold. We have be
side 52,000,000 Oregon Railway and Navi
gation bonds for constrnction advances, and
there has been invested in the Portland and
Puret Sound road Sl.000,000. and in new
equipments Sl.400,000, for which bonds have
not been sold.
"We have also put a large amount of
money into sidetracks, new shops at Chey
enne and Denver and the Union passenger
station and lreight depot at Omaha. Mr.
Gould knew all about the floating debt
when he entered the directory, and he has
discovered nothing new about it. He agreed
to take care of it, and provided for the Jan
uarv 1 requirements, which are less than
S2.000.000. Mr. Gould expressed his great
satisfaction at the appearance of cvervthing
connected with the property. He has no
more idea of a receivership for this proper
ty than I have for the Ames building. I
do not know of any scheme for funding the
Union Pacific debt. Had there been no
change in ownershsip or management there
would have been no talk of it. We can
easily pay it when the railroad bond market
revives."
RAILROAD TRAFFIC RATES.
THE COMING MEETING OF THE PBESI
DENTS IN NEW Y0EK CITY.
Chairman Walker of tho Inter-State Asso
ciation Denounces tho Kulnons Kato
Wars anil Slakes Suggestions as to How
They May Uo Stopped.
New Youk, Dec. 8. To-day's Journal
of Finance prints a long letter from Chair
man Walker, of the Inter-State Associa
tion, at Chicago, to the presidents of the
Western and Southwestern railroads, and in
connection therewith says:
The railroad situation, so far as the Western
and Southwestern roads arc concerned, seems
to be growing brighter daily. The atmosphere
is fast clearing, and by the time the presidents
of these roads meet iu conference with the
bankers of this city, it is very probable that
there will hare been" arranged before that time
a basis upon which those officials bare already
agreed, so that in that eveut the meeting will
be not ranch more than a formal one to offi
cially confirm the action taken.
The letter of Mr. Walker outlines the
difficulties that hare bceu in existence and
indicates a way in which these difficulties
can be settled ami rates restored aud main
tained on a permanent basis. Mr. Walker
does not think that the present legislative
attitude of Congress and the States toward
the railways of the country have been the
sole cause of the difficulties under which
they labor. He s-iys that the root ol the
matter is competition. There is a conflict
of interest between the producers and con
sumers in every industry.
It Is not unnatural that the public which buys
transportation should desire to stimulate com
petition among the carriers which sell it. At
in other industries the rivalries ot individuals
hate been encouraged and intensified until
ttiey banc become the occasion of general dis
aster. Competition as it now exists among car
riers is simply war. And the situation pleases
the unreflecting public. These two points may
as well bo accepted at the start.
Mr. Walker then goes on to say that it is
an insult to the presidents to say that these
things are beyond their control. They have
the power to put an end to every unfair
species of unfair competition throughout
the entire territory between Chicago and the
Eocky Mountains. He concludes by sug
gesting an agreement providing for a
rate division and a traffic division.
THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
Germans Who Will Oppose the Sunday
Closing Movement
Chicago, Dec. 8. It is rumored at
World's Fair headquarters that a number
of prominent Germans have protested
against paying their subscriptions until
such time as they are given positive infor
mation as to whether the Exposition is to be
closed on Sundays or not. They are decid
edly opposed to the closing of the fair on
Sunday.
'"I do not think the ladies will ask any
thing of Congress at this session," said Mrs.
Palmer, presideut of the Board of Lady
Managers', to-day. "rtTiinl7resunied the
lady president, "that Congress js not going
to interfere with the present national act or
the work of the lady managers."
The ladies have arrived at this conclusion
within a few days. A little while ago they
thought it advisable to appoint a committee
of eight to go be ore Congress and prevent if
possible any disastrous action upon an
amendment to reduce the Board of Lady
managers to 20, which amendment, it was
understood, Congressman Frank, ot Mis
souri, Intended to introduce. They have
about come to the conclusion to trust to
their masculine friends to take care of their
interests
Presideut Palmer, of the National Com
mission, is expected to arrive here to-night
or to-morrow, aud it is expected by Wednes
day that he and Mr. Peck, of the local
directory, will be ready to leave for Wash
ington to lay before the President the docu
ments on which the chief magistrate will
f mnd Ins proclamation to the nation.
A SLIGHT SKIBMISH,
Indians at Buffalo (Jap Try to Capture Sev
eral Cowboys.
Chicago, Dec. 8. General Miles this
morning received a telegram lrom Buffalo
Gap, under date of December C, which says:
"Yesterday afternoon a party of 13 Sioux,
at the entrance to the Bad Lands, endeav
ored to cut off and capture three cowboys.
The ranchmen in the vicinity of the Bad
Lands arc sending the women and children
into this town. There are no rifles or am
munition and none have been received here,
although application has been made for
them in order that the settlers may arm
themselves."
Shortly after this letter was received a
telegram came lrom the same place, dated
to-day. saying: "Itanchmen and Indians'
had a slight skirmish. The situation is be
coming serious, for the settlers are unarmed.
Can you supply 50 good rifles and ammuni
tion so that settlers can defend themselves?"
Geueral Miles will leave for the scene of
the Indian trouble to-morrow.
SUFFERING IN THE DAK0TAS.
The Northern State Mad at the Resolution
of Congressman Ilanhbroiigh.
Geand Forks, N. D., Dec 8. The
Chamber of Commerce and the Business
Men's Association have administered a
severe rebuke to Congressman Hansbrough
lor introducing a resolution in Congress
asking for an appropriation of 5500,000 for
destitute citizens, of North Dakota.
These business bodies insist that North
Dakota is able to provide for all its needy,
and protest against the- adoption of the
Hansbrough resolution.
A dispatch from Pierre, S. D., says that
Lieutenant Governor Fletcher states that
there is much destitution among the farmers
of South Dakota, nil the reports to the con
trary notwithstanding. He could not see
any good that could be gained by concealing
the fact. Among the counties he named as
being'iu a bad way were Brown. McPher
son, Campbell, Walworth, Edwards and
Spink. There the crops had partly failed.
GAGGED THE WATCHMAN.
San Francisco Burglars Force tho Safe In a
Theater.
Sax Francisco, Dec. a Three masked
men last night bound and gagged William
Johnson, janitor and night watchman of the
Wigwam Theater, and then proceeded to
open the safe with dynamite. According
to Johuson, they worked an hour and a half
before they succeeded in opening it, whence
they took 51,900 in cash, seTeral watches
and some stage jewelry.
After the robbers left the place Johnson
managed, by hard work, to release himself,
and notified the police, who are now work
ing on the case. Mr. Meyers, proprietor of
the theater, states that the jewelry was val
ued at $1,000.
THE FIRST WITNESS
To Keturu to This Country From See
ing Dr. Koch's Lymph Tested
TELLS OP THE RESULTS OBTAINED.
Some Highly Interesting Testimony From
Dr. J. Kiddie Goffe.
METHOD OP IXJECTIXG THE LI1IPH
ifrrciAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
New York, Dec. 8. Among the first, if
not the first, physicians to return to this
country after studying the Koch method of
consumption in the clinics under the imme
diate supervision of Dr. Koch in Berlin, is
Dr. J. Riddle Goffe, of this city, who arrived
to-day on the Saale, of the North German
Lloyd Line. Dr. Gofle was in Europe at the
lime Dr. Koch's announcement was made
public, and at once went to Berlin. Having
iutended to do some work abroad, Dr. Goffe
was well supplied with letters of introduc
tion, and easily entered the clinics and hos
pitals that are under the immediate charge
of Dr. Koch. There he studied at first-hand
the methods of the investigator. Dr. Goffe
gave to a reporter an account of the work of
Dr. Koch, of the present state of feeling in
Berlin, and the attitude entertained toward
the great discoverer by a large number of
physicians seen personally by him. Said
Dr. Goffe:
Yes, 1 came directly from Berlin, where I
passed some time in study in tho clinics of Dr.
Bergmann and Dr. Cornet, pnpils and repre
sentatives of Dr. Koch. They are in fact his
assistants and make a practical application of
the lymph which ho prepares. Dr. Koch, it
may he said, does not directly experiment on
pitients. Thero I have observed the treatment
for both lnpus and tuberculosis on people of
all ages and conditions, though it should be ex
plained that persons in an advanced stage of
consumption are not experimented on.
Method Pursued With Patients.
Every patient that is brought into the clinic
roust hare inado out a complete table, showing
his physical condition, and a diagnosis is then
made of his disease. This description is read
aloud and changed if necessary after each treat
ment, in order to show what effect the previous
inoculation has had. In this way it is possible
for the physicians attending the clinics o get
au accurate idea of the effect of the lymph.
These clinics present a strango appearance.
So great is the interest, that the operating
rooms are crowded to the doors, and even In
the halls and corridors there are physicians
srruggling to get In. It is therefore a matter
of some difficulty to get near enough to observe
carefully the operations. Some of the patients
treated are kept at the hospital all the time;
others, who are more slightly affected, are per
mitted to go to their work while awaiting
another inoculation.
A very great depression follows the uso of
the lymph, and while it is usual to inoculate
daily. If, by reason of this depression, the pa
tient has not sufficiently rallied, the treatment
is deferred. Outdoor and laboring patients are
inoculated about noon, andas the reaction be
gins about six hours after inoculation, it per
mits the patient to recover from the depression
by the lollviing morning.
Injecting the Curative Lymph.
The inoculation is always made In the back,
just over tho shoulder blade. This spot is se
lected by Dr. Koch as being most free from ab
scess and local irritations. As each patient is
treated, it is stated how manr injections hare
been administered and the quantity, together
with the results. All the operations are made
openly, so as to preclude the idea of fraud, and
to give the visiting physicians the best possible
means of observation. Everything is done with
the greatest care.
There is, however, not much use in being
there, as the system of inoculation is so simple.
The essential thing is the lymph. The more
advanced the disease, the smaller the quantity
of lymph injected and the less frequently was
it given, as the dangers of depression and re
action are all the greater. There is a pathetic
side of the case. Physicians have come with
patients from all over tho world. Many of
them are in an advanced stage of consumption,
and as is well known concerning tho character
of the disease, they are all hopeful. But none
of these advanced cases are received at the
clinics.
Danger in Their Hopefulness.
Berlin is filled with theso consumptives, and
without doubt a great, though perhaps
unavoidable danger, has been occasioned to
the consumptive classes in their being led by
their own hopefulness to journey to Berlin.
As regards the attitude of mind of the
physicians at Berlin, both resident and from
abroad, toward the remedy, Dr. Goffe said:
The impression in the clinic is that enough
has been seen to warrant the belief that a great
discovery has been made. It Is thought to bo a
cure for certain cases withlu certain limits. 1
saw a very largo number of people operated
upon in the clinic and there was great and evi
dent improvement in many of these coses. I
talked with physicians from Scotland. Eng
land, Austria and Paris, and the general atti
tude is one of belief in Dr. Koch aud hopeful
ness in bis discovery.
Dr. Koch himself spends all his available
time manufacturing the lymph, which is a deli
cate work and demands hi constant super
vision. There are always crowds of physicians
on band to talk with him, but after an audi
ence has been given to a few he slips away to
his work.
Nature of the Lymph a Secret.
Of course the nature of the lymph is not
known. Opinion there is divided. Sorue think
that it is a chemical compound; somo that it is
a cultivated form of some bacillus; some that
it is a kind of virus-like vaccine, and some be
lieve it to be a ptomain that is, a secretion
found in tissue where bacilli bare been
secreted. One thing is certain, the excitement
in tho cure must be toned down to reach tho
exact limitations of its use. People expect too
much.
Just before Dr. Goffe departed from Ber
lin, the announcement was made that on
the IStb of the present month lymph would
be sold in small bottles for. 25 marks per
bottle, a sum representing about S6 25. The
amount will be small, but it will be capa
ble of great dilution, and the quantity will
be sufficient to make about 100 injections.
Gofle made arrangements to have more of
the lymph sent to him as soon as it was pos
sible to procure it.
At present, Dr. Koch will dispose of more
of it to physicians for private use. It must
go to some hospital or public institution,
where it will be possible to get a large ex
perience and extended results in a brief
time, and where many physicians can ob
serve and note the results ot its injection.
A HUMAN LEG FOUND.

THE PITTSBUKG DISPATCH, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9,
FAVOES FBEE SILVER.
How a Change In the Standard of Value
v Would .Help the Farmers.
W. A, Douglass, of Gilpin county, Cal.,
arrived in Pittsburg- a lew days ago after an
absence from the city of 14 years. He was
formerly engaged in the lumber business
here, and was well and favorably known.
He says the city has grown remarkably
since he left it,and as he sat in Major Kay's
office, on Water street, yesterday, he said he
could scarcely recognize somo of the old
landmarks.
In speaking of his life in the West, Mr.
Douglass said: "I haven't seen an Indian
in Colorado, so that we are not bothered by
the redskins in that State. The production
of gold aud silver is as heavy to-day as it
was 20 years ago. Leadville is the largest
camp, and turns out about $12,000,000 in
silver every veair. Gilpin county, where I
live, is a gold camp. In Colorado we are
all in favor of free silver coinage. At first
I thought it was not good policy, but I have
changed my mind. As we are calling in
the bonds, we must have something sub
stantial on which to issue currency.
There is not enough gold produced
to make it the standard of value. The
yearly yield of gold is onlj $50,000,000, and
this would not be $1 per head ol an addition
to the currency of the country. So small an
amount added annually would not be suffi
cient to take cure ot tlie iucrease iu busi
ness. "If the United States should adopt silver,
it is strong enough to force Germany.France
and England to use the same standard.
England to-day buys our silver at 90 cents
per ounce, makes it into dollars and ex
changes them for Indian wheat, thereby se
curing a reduction of 10 cents per
bushel over the American farmer. If
the Government makes silver free, it will
put a stop to this practice, and place Eng
land on the same basis with America. 1 am
a Republican, but I must say that the pol
icy ol the party has not done much for the
grangers. The McKtnley bill protects the
manufacturer, but leaves the lollowers of
Agricola to shift for themselves. There is
something radically wrong when a beautiful
country like Kansas is in a bankrupt con
dition. The larmers are in the majority in
the States, but their very strength 'may
break the backbone of their alliance."
HOW FIGLEY MET HIS DEATH.
The Coroner Investigating the Fatality at
the liberty Street Firo.
Coroner McDowell yesterday afternoon be
gan the inquiry into the death of Joseph
Elmer Figley, of No. H engine company,
who was killed by the falling wall at Friday
morning's fire on Liberty street
George J. Lang, a member of No. 11 en
gine company, was the only witness ex
amined. Mr. Lamb testified that No. 11
company reached tho fire shortly after 1
o'clock on November 5. They were ordered
by Chief Evans to go into Spring alley with
their line and fight the fire from the rear.
The witness and Elmer Figley were at the
nozzle and were playing on the
Harris building when a piece
of glass from one of the windows in the
Maginn building fell and struck Figley in
the hand, drawing blood. The fireman
left the line for a few minutes, but soon
returned and laughed about being cut. A
short time after this they heard an explo
sion in the Harris building and saw the
walls totter. Figley told the witness to
drop the line and run; the witness ran back
toward Garrison alley while Figley ran into
Keiler's yard, where his body was found
about 5 A. M., under about two feet of
debris, by the witness and some others; he
was dead when found. They had only bejen
in service about 20 miuutes when the wall
tell.
After hearing this witness the inquest
was continued until Thursday afternoon at
2 o'clock.
WALKED OVEE THE BLUFF.
Edward Kearney Falls One Hundred Feet
and .Breaks Ills Neck.
Edward Kearney, a well-known resident'
of Dinwiddie street,' was killed yesterday
morning by walking over the bluff during a
fit of temporary aberration. Kearney got
up about 3 o'clock yesterday morning and
told his wile he was going into the next
room. Instead of that he left the house,
without putting on any clothing. When
Mrs. Kearney discovered her husband's
absence she notified the police, and Officer
Shaffer started to search for him. He
hunted for several hours, hut without avail.
About daylight it occurred to the officer
that Kearney might have fallen over the
bluff. He started out Second avenue, and
when near the r.nbinson Coke Worts found
Kearney's dead body. He had cither walked
or fallen over the bluff, which at this point
is over 100 feet high. His death was instan
taneous, his neck being broken in the fall.
The deceased for some time had been
sickly and often showed signs of insanity,
but was never violeut. It is supposed that
he was suffering from temporary insanity
when he left the house and walked over the
bluff and met his death.

A YOUTHFUL FIEND.
Tho 15-Year-Old Murderer of Two
Companions on Trial
FOR HIS COWARDLY CRIME.
A Being With No Tisible Idea of Moral
responsibility.
niS TICTIMS SHUT WHILE ASLEEP
IRPECIAt. TELIORAM TO THK DIRPATCIM
Cheyenne, Wto., Dec. 8. The trial of
Charles Miller, the 15-year-old boy who
murdered the young St. Joseph men, Fish
baugh and Emerson, in a box car near here
September 27, is pending in the District
Court, So far testimony corroborative
of the boy's confession to the
donble murder is all the evidence intro
duced. He shot the two young men while
they slept. One died instantly, the other
living several hours with a terrible wound
in his right temple.
Miller left the freight and followed his
victims to Cheyenne on a passenger train.
He left town next day, going to Brother's,
near Manhattan, Kan. He was there just
two weeks when he told the horrible
story of the cowardly double murder.
The young men killed had grown
up in St Joseph, and were reputable
citizens of good families. They resigned
responsible positions to come West, and
started tramping with a common purse of
S150. For this money Miller, who joined
them on the road, planned their assassina
tion and did the murder.
His court demeanor is a quiet, uncon
cerned air. He is a being with no idea of
moral crime. His mother died when he was
born, and his father, a saloon keeper, died
nine years ago. The boy was sent to an or
phan asylum, then bound to a farmer in
Minnesota, and next to a farmer in Kansas.
He proved utterly incorrigible, running
away at every opportunity.
There is no claim that he is insane. The
plan of counsel is to allow a conviction,
then move for a pardon. The court room is
crowded. Among the spectators are the
father and mother of Emerson, one of the
young m en murdered.
HUNDREDS WERE KILLED.

TBAIN E0BBEES' PLANS
Nicely Nipped In the IIuiI by tho Arrest of
the Gang's Leader.
Alton, III., Dec. 8. Henry Levy, alias
Samuel Seelig, was arrested in St. Louis
Saturday. Seelig and some companions had
planned to board the Chicago train on Tues
day, at a point between here and St. Louis.
One of the gang was to cut the wires work
ing to St. Louts and to Chicago, and when
the train had started he was to uncouple the
engine, which would be boarded by several
of the gang and run up to Alton summit.
While this was going on the rest of the gang
was to rob the express car and the passen
gers. It was thought that the place selected for
the robbery was the cut north of the city,
where, on account of the heavy grade, trains
going north run slowly. The arrest ot See
lig, however, frustrated all the plans.

NATURAL GAS DID IT.
A Sudden Increase in Pressure Sets Fire to
the Continental Tube Works Loss Esti
mated at 820,000, Covered by Insurance
A Plucky Watchman.
The Continental Tube Works, Second av
enue, operated by T. B. Everson, was dam
aged $20,000 by fire yesterday morning.
1 Night Watchman Alexander Campbell
was in the machine shop about 7 o'clock
when a 6udden increase in the natural gas
pressure blew a valve out of one of the
stoves and the flames shot up to the ceiling.
He replaced the valve and it was again
blown out. He persevered until his hands
were terribly burned, and in the meantime
the engineer had turned ofl the gas. but it
was too late, the building was ou fire and
burning briskly. An alarm was turned in,
and after au hour's hard work the fire was
subdued.
The pattern shop, with all the valuable
patents, was entirely destroyed, and the store
house and all its contents, consisting of new
tools, a large supply of oil and other stores.
The most necessary and valuable plant of
the works, the machine shop, was also de
stroyed. This department was thoroughly
equipped, and many valuable machines and
tools were burned. The engine which was
in this department was injured aud the
dynamo destroyed. In other words, the
most valuable and necessary department of
the entire plant was " destroyed. Many
valuable patterns were burned and the fire
was most disastrous in its results. The fire
will necessitate the shutting down of the
mill for some time, and will throw out about
500 men.
Many of the men lost their tools and none
of them had insurance. The boss pattern
maker had a kit of tools valued at $200, and
about 20 men Inst tools, each kit of which
was valued at from $60 to ?200.
At the lower end of the mill is a row of
houses occupied by workingmen and the oc
cupants were badly frightened. The furni
ture was hastily removed aud piled up in
the dirt and snow, hose was ruu through
some of the houses and the loss by water
and breakage to the neighbors will be con
siderable. The property of the Continental Tube
Works is insured lor $20,000 in the follow
ing companies: Commercial Union, $5,000;
Fire Association, $2,500; Phcenix, of Hart
ford, $2,500; Imperial, $2,500; Union, of
Philadelphia, $2,500; Security, of Connecti

frequently of late Shibuya Jurigo, the Jap

man received from the Japanese Consul
General to-day a letter, which the Consul
General had received lrom Warden Brush,
of Sing Sing, where Jurigo is imprisoned.
In this letter Warden Brush says:
For the last three weeks Jurigo has been
sullen, refusing to eat, and in fact taking very
lutle nourishment. As wo have no one who
can talk to him. I should be much pleased if
you, yourself, or sume one representing jour
office would vhit hlin. Ot course, you would
have to obtain an order lrom the courr, but 1
think you will have no trouble in this respect,
Mr. Heinzelman says he will apply to the
Court of Oyer and Terminer, or to another
part of the 'Supreme Court, asking that a
commission be appointed to determine
Jurigo's mental condition.
KING KALAXATTS VISIT.
Contradictory Reports as to Jnst Why He
Comes to tho States.
San Francisco, Dec. 8. A dispatch
from Washington published here yesterday
intimated that the real object of King Kal
akau's visit to this country was to open ne
gotiations for theannexatinn of tbeHawaiin

George W. MacFarland. he King's cham
berlain, who, with the King, is now in this
city has madeii statement in regard to the
matter iu which he denies that li.ala.kua a
visit has any such significance.
On the other hand interviews are pub
lished here with several other Hawaiian
residents in which they declare that there is
some ground for this report. They claim
that C. Ii. Bishop, financial agent of the
Hawaiian Government, and Hon. H. A.
Wi'lemann, member of the Privy Council,
have gone to Washington to pave the way
for the King, and that if any negotiations
looking to annexation are to be made, thev
are now in progress between the btate De
partment and these representatives of the
Hawaiian Government.

THE NEW TARIFF LAW
Chicago Importers Taking a Hand in
tho Fight Against It.
FIRMS MAY BRING SUITS Iff COURT
Merchants Who Claim That the Act of
Congress Is Void.
THEI WANT THE DDT1ES KEFONDED
Chicago, Dec. 8. The Chicago import
ers are taking a hand in the war that
is being waged against, the new tariff
law, but they are conducting the fight
on a plan slightly different from that em
ployed by the importers oi New York.
The action is not exactly a concerted one,
hut interviews with leading merchants here
show that they are all proceeding orfsubstan
tially the basis outlined in the following
talk with Mr. Barnhart, who is at the head
of the foreign department at Marshal
Field & Co.'s.
"We have taken the position that the law
is void in order to protect ourselves. On
every occasion when we have paid
duties under the new law we have
done so under protest. This protest
acts the same as an appeal to the
General Board of Appraisers in New York,
and as soon as that body renders a decision
on one ot the appeals, the next thing in or
der will be to bring suit in the United
States Circuit Court to recover the differ
ence between the duties under the new law
and the tariff rates of the old law, under
which, we claim, the duties should be im
posed. "Will your firm bring suit?"
"Yes, we will bring suit to protect our
selves in case the law is declared void by
the courts."
"What if Congress should amend the law
at once by putting in the omitted clauses."
"That might make the bill legal, but it
would not alter the claim of the importers
for the return of what they have paid
in excess of the old duties up to the
present time. We would do the best we
could to make the Government pay back the
money."
CHICAGO'S NEW DEPOT.
Opening of the Northern Pacific and Wis
consin Central Station.
Chicago, Dec. 8. The new Grand
Central Depot at Filth avenue and Har
rison street, erected lor the joint use of the
Northern Pacific and Wisconsin Central
Railroads, was formally opened to-day. It
began at noon with the unfurling of the
Federal flag from the lofty tower, by a
delegation from the Grand Army posts of
this city. This was followed by the
dedicatory exercises inside the building.
Henry Villard made a short address. He
gave a history of the Nortnern Pacific, Wis
consin Central and kindred railway enter
prises, and said that he bad known Chicago
since 1854 and bad watched its onward
strides since that time. On bis first visit,
he said he was not a railway king, as some
people were now pleased to call him, but a
fresh arrival lrom Germany. A reception
was given at the depot to-night at which
there was a large gathering ot railway offi
cials and prominent citizens.
Attacked by Alleged Strikers.
Thomas Taylor, a man living at Glen
wood, was attacked by a gang ot men, sup
posed to be Baltimore and Ohio strikers,
and badly injured at at early
hour this morning, when be was
walking on the track toward
his home. He was carried away and laid
beside the track, where he was found some
time later by the police. His jaw was
