traoM A STAFF COEBISFOXDINT.l
HAEniSBCKO, April 7. To-day was
labor day again in the Home and the labor
ing men's friends were out In full force. It
seems somewhat singular, but whenever a
labor bill is up for consideration, those who
vote against it vie with those who vote for
it in proclaiming their devotion to the
working man, and Tery frequently those
who denounce it the strongest vote for it the
loudest.
"With so many ardent friends as the work
ingman has in the Legislature, it is odd how
little legislation he gets. Perhaps the law
makers believe with the hero of the song,
"No matter ti hat you do
If your heart be true,"
and hold that it makes no difference how a
man votes if he feels all right.
Debate on the Conspiracy Bill.
Three labor bills came up on third read
ing to-day, and all of one session aud part
of another were spent on a profitless discus
sion. The conspiracy bill introduced by D.
K. Jones, of Allegheny, caused the most
protracted debate. Mr. Jones explained
that the bill codified the conspiracy law of
1609, 1872 and 1876, repealing all three and
incorporating their important features in
one law.
Under this bill those who used force or
menace or threats to prevent any one from
working for Ench wages as he was willing to
accept could be punished, but innocent
people, who, although present, had no part
in the intimidation or threats, could not be
dragged into court aud cast into jail, as had
been the case in 'Washlngtojitf.-mntY rr'few-4
years ago. There is no conspiracy law in
Ohio, even in the commission of felony,
while in Indiana there is no law except for
conspiracy to commit misdemeanors.
A law against conspiracy was a law
against thinking. Siity-one such laws had
been passed in England, but all had been
found to be of no avail. Mr. Jones said
that the opposition he had encountered in
endeavoring to secure legislation lavorable
to labor was co strong that he often felt as
though he must break down under it.
Hard to Fight Labor's Battle.
It was easier to get "into the swim" and
merely pull with the dominant powers, than
to continually fight labor's battle. Some
times be felt like parodying Hamlet and
crying; "To be politically or not to be.
That's the question. Whether it is better to
always suffer the slings and arrows of out
rageous opposition, or join Billy Flinn's
ring and end them." The bill passed bv a
vote ol 169 to 5.
The amending the two weeks' pay bill
came upon final passage, and was made the
target of more vioient attacks by a number
of gentlemen who worked themselves into a
great state of mind over the evils that mns:
arise from it, particularly to the farmers, being
evidently ignorant of the fact that the law word
for word, with the exception of the proposed
amendment taxing a Soattorney fee, had been on
the statute book for several years and had
harmed no one. It also passed by a vote of IIS
to 51.
Mr. Jones' employers liability bill came up,
and he asked to have it postponed for the
present Its enemies wanted to kill it without
delay and Mr. Keyser moved to postpone it
indefinitely, but was finally prevailed on, out of
courtesy to Mr. Jones, to withdraw his motion.
The bill then went over for the present. Its
name is Dennis, however. Henry Hall.
SEN ATOBIAL APPORTIONMENT,
The Governor Evidently in Earnest In Ills
Efforts to Have a Fair One.
rrnoii a staff connEsroKDExr.l
Haekisbukg, April ".The executive
branch of the State Government seems in
earnest on the matter of apportionment. A
statement is rumored to have been prepared in
the vicinity of the executive chamber, showing
the population of the several Senatorial dis
tricts as tbey stana in the present apportion
ment, and the unequahties now existing. The
Constitution provides that the State shall be
Senatonallv apportioned by dividing the popu
lation by 60, and that each county containing
one or more ratios shall be given a Senator for
each ratio, and an additional Senator for a
surplus exceeding three-fifths of a ratio.
Where a county has between one-half and
four-fifths of a ratio, and i surrounded by
counties having one or more Senators, it mav
be assigned a Senator. The district shall be of
compact and continuous territory, andas nearly
equal in population as may be. The popula
tion or the Slate by the last census as 5,258,
014. which makes the ratio 105,100.
This would give Philadelphia ten Senators,
were li not that the Constitution prohibits any
city having more than one-sixth of the whole
number, consequently her representation can
not be Increased, a. the now has eight. Alle
gheny would be entitled to five instead
of four Senators. Luzerne would gain one,
and Lancaster couniv would lose one,
as wonld SchuylUii, Crawford. Dela
ware. Bucks and Lebanon each loso
their separate representation, while Erie
would just pull through by the skin of its
teeth. Quite a number of the joint districts
would luve to tie rearranged to meet the con
stitutional requirements. As might be ex
pected, the benators from the counties which
would lose their separate representation are
not very anxious for reapportionment, and the
same state of affairs exists to far as the House
apportionment is concerned. Bills will be
passed, bnt it is qmte certain that no great ef
lort will be made to hate them framed so as to
suit Governor Pattisou.
BILLS IN BOTH E0XTSES.
A Few of the Measute Tiiat Were Acted
Upon In Varions Ways.
JSPECIAL TXLJSGBAM TO THE DI5PATCH.1
Habrisburo, April 7. The Senate bill ap
propriating 100,000 for the selection of a lite
and erection of a State asylum lor the chronic
insane, drafted by members of the Board of
Publie Charities, was passed finally.
Mr. Neeb reported from the Committee on
Vice and Immorality a bill requiring consta
bles who visit licensed places under the Brooks
bill to be paid 25 cents for each visit with an
affirmative recommendation.
Mr. Neeb's bill to abolish the office of Poor
Director in cities of the second class was called
up bv him and passed second reading. Similar
action was taken on the House bill called up by
Mr. Upperman. providing for the creation and
distribution of a fund lor the care, main
tenance and relief of aged or disabled police
men in cities of the second class.
Mr. Cotton, of Allegheny, introduced a bill
appropriating 17,000 to the Southside Hospital,
Pittsburg.
FLINN'S STREET BILLS.
THREE OF THEM ARE TAKEN UP IN THE
SENATE AND PASSED FINALLY.
The Curative Bill Amended in Some Particu
lars The Measure Providing for Fatm-e
Improvements Is Also Changed to Meet
Diverse Views.
IFBOM A STAFF COBBBSPOXDBXT.l
Haerisbueo, April 7. All of Mr.
Plinn's street bills were before the Senate
to-day. No. 32 relating to the improvement
of streets, lanes, alleys, sewers and side
walks, and providing for payment of the
costs thereof; Xo. 265 amending the charter
with reference to new departments, and No.
26S creating and regulating municipal liens
passed finally. No. 267, the curative
bill authorizing the assessment and
collection of the cost of street improvements
was amended In some respects, the main effort
being the correction of certain ambiguous
clauses and sections. No. 268. the bill to pro
vide for, future improvements in cities of the
second class was amended in an important par
ticular. As presented It authorized improve
mects to be made upon the petition of a ma
jority in interest of the property to be im
proved. The citizens committee recommended
that it be changed to read "a majority in in
terest ornumber."
The Supremo Court in its decision in tbo
Boggs avenue case said that it would look with
disfavor upon any provision in which "a major
ity in interest" is not represented. In his veto
of the Pittsburg street act passed in 1683, Gov
ernor Pattison objected to the clause requiring
"a majority in interest," and said "the just
plan in snch matters Is to require the petition
to be joined in by a majority in number of
the property owners affected." These widely
varying opinions placed those in charge of the
bill in a rather delicate position. If they fol
lowed the rule laid down by the Supreme Court,
they ran against the Governor, and if they
adopted the Governor's plan they struck the
Supreme Court, while if they were guided by
the citizens' committee they came in collision
with both. Finally it was decided that if the
bill could be so framed as to get past both the
Governor and the Supreme Court, the approval
of the citizens committee might be dispensed
with, and the bill was amended to read, "a
majority in interest and number."
Senator Flinn and Messrs Moreland, Carna
han, Bigelow and G. L. Holliday held a con
sultation to-night over the amendments sug
gested at the citizens' meeting on Monday. No
definite action was taken upon them. The
Honse Jndiciary General Committee will con
sider the bills to-morrow night, at which time
any further amendments deemed necessary
will be incorporated in the bills.
TAX EQUALIZATION.
The State Grange Makes Iteply to Attacks
Upon the Taggart Bill.
IFItOU A STAFF COBBXSPOXDEXT.l
Harrisbubq, April 7. 'Worthy Master
Rhone and Secretary R. H. Thomas, of the
State Grange, were here to-day and made
publio a reply to the circulars against the
Taggart tax bill, witn which the State is being
flooded. It is signed by Giles D. Price, of Erie,
Secretary of the County Commissioners' As
sociation. These gentlemen argue that this
bill was prepared to meet the popular demand
for tax equalization. Real estate is unjustly
burdened, and tbo only way to give relief is by
taxing other forms of property. To compel an
honest return of taxable property, tbe law
must be in ameasure inquisitorial. Those who
are clamoring against it are those whose taxa
tion Is justly Increased.
Under thwlw ntilroaas.telephone and tele
graph companies now' paying only a 8 mill
State tax wonld pay 4 mills on propertv vained
at $1,875,000,000. thus yielding about $7,500,050
tax for local purposes. For schools it levies a
2 mill tax on mortgages, bonas and other interest-bearing
securities, and 10 mill tax (less
the State tax) on the gross earnings of private
bankers, unincorporated banks and savings in
stitutions. This property is valued at SL 450,
000,000, and would yield $2,900,000 tax. Tangi
ble personal property, less $300 exemption, is
made taxable lor local purposes at tbe same
rate as real estate. It.is estimated that this
will reduce the county levy in nearly all coun
ties to 1 mill and lower the local rate one-half.
TO OPPOSE THE-ROAD BILL.
Granger Legislators Say That It Is Merely
a Sop to the Farmers.
rrROM A STAFF COEBESPONDEXT.
Hakrisbubq, April ".The Senators and
Representatives, who are also members of tbe
Grange, met to-night and unanimously decided
to oppose tbe Commission Road bill now pend
ing in the House. The grounds for their oppo
sition are that it in a measure takes the con
trol of the roads out of the hands of the local
authorities, and the further fact that they are
opposed to any State appropriation for roads
until the question of equalization of taxes has
been satisfactorily settled. They regard State
aid for roads as a mere sop to be thrown the
farmer to placate him for tbe defeat of tax
equalization, which they claim has been de
cided upon by tbe powers that be.
The meeting also took up tbe Taggart tax
bill. That portion of section 2 denning the
property constituting class 4 was altered so as
to clear it of some ambiguities. As it now
reads it exempts from taxation horses and cat
tle under the age of 3 years, sheep and swine
under tho age of 1 year, wearing apparel,
household furniture, tools and implements
used in a trade or calling, and unsold products
of agriculture, gardens or manufactories. The
meeting pledged itself to stand steadfastly by
the bill.
THE SCHOOL B00E TRUST.
The Committee's Report Will Show But
Little That Is New.
IFBOM A STAFF COBBZSPOXDEXT.
HAEKlsnur.a, April 7, The report of the
joint committee appointed to investigate the
alleged school book trust will be presented to
morrow. It differs from tbe forecast published
in The Dispatch some days since in its hav
ing been modified so as to simply recommend
that tbe several districts adopt the permissive
law for furnishing free textbooks, instead of
indorsing the Ellwood, which makes this pro
vision mandatory.
Tbe report sas that it wonld cost the State
$3,000,000 annually to furnish free textbooks.
As regards tbe profits made in school books,
they find that retail dealers make from 20 to 100
percent. Judging from this report, the com
mittee evidently spent a great deal of time to
find ont very little of any importance.
POLLUTION OF PUBLIC WATERS.
A Measure That Seems Satisfactory to All
Concerned.
rrROM A STAFF COBBE6POXDBNT.J
HABRI5BDRQ. April 7. Senator Steel, of Al
legheny, Introduced to-day a bill to prohibit
the placing in any water supply of the public,
or the supply ot any public institution, of the
carcass of any dead animal or any other sub
stance which will render tbe water so taken
poisonous or dangerous to health or unfit for
domestic use.
This bill was framed to meet the objections
which led to tbe defeat of the State Board of
Health bill on tbe same subject, and is thought
to be satisfactory to ail concerned.

A LONG-HEADED FINAHCIEE.
no Embezzled Municipal and ChurchMoney
to Fay Private Debts.
Kansas Crrr, April 7. Horace McKlm, who
was Chief Clerk of ex-City Treasurer Peake,
who embezzled 123,000 of tho city's money, con
She pttotttt
sented to-day for tbo first time to tell what he
knew about the defalcation. Ho says the
shortage began in September, 1SS9, when Kings
ton, Peake A Co. tailed. The ex-Treasurer was
a member of that firm, and just before the
failure made good out of the city's funds
several large checks of tho firm, which
had been dishonored at the bank. Peake was
also Treasurer of the Central Presbyterian
Church, and had wrongfully appropriated
about $3,600 of the church's money. When
warrants were drawn on him by the trustees,
he would pay them and instruct his clerk to put
the warrants in the cash drawer and charge
them against him (Peake.) Whenever his
bondsmen wonld make investigation of his
office, Peake would borrow enough cash to
cover his shortage, and immediately afterward
would return it to tbe persons from whom be
had borrowed it.
McKira states that Peake has been attempt
ing to throw the responsibility ot tbe defalca
tion upon employes of the office, and that he
has been assisted in this by the investigating
committee of the Council, which would not hear
his (McKlm'a) evidence. McKlm also claims
that the prosecuting attorney has agreed to
nolle prosse the criminal case against Peake,
which comes up for trial in a short time, on the
ground of lc;k of evidence. McKini makes the
above statement to clear himself and fellow
clerks from suspicion.

Washington, April 7. Senator George
P. Edmunds, of Vermont, who has been in
the Senate of the United States since April,
1666, and in nbarly, if not quite, all of that
time has been one of the Republican
leaders, has resigned, the resignation to
take effect the day of November next. The

his resignation to the Governor of Vermont:
"United States Sew ate, I

"SIR Considerations entirely personal lead

CHINESE LAUNDRY TRUST.
An Effort to Compel all the Boston China
men to Join.
'" " ftMfciilrjHioXAi TtfTSj-SisVAfonr
Boston, April 7. A Chinese laundry trust,
called the Ung Hon Hong Company, is the
latest thing in Boston. In order to get a living
business some of tbelanndrymen reduced their
prices. Not long afterward a few leading
spirits combined to compel these to restore
prices to a uniform scale. The varions laundry
men were Invited to join the combination and
those that refused wero threatened.
Tbe trust has notified among others. Yee L.
Poy, No. 410 Tremont street, that unless he
falls in and joins the combine he will be ac
cused and driven out of the business. As his
opponents have plenty of money at their com
mand to secure tbe best legal talent and plenty
witnesses ready to swear to anything, Yee Poy
and others who oppose the trust stand a poor
show. Such Chinamen as have tbe backbone
to refuse to submit to the dictation of the
1iundry Trust will be surely summoned into
court on "false accusation" and unless they are
protected their trial will be simply a travesty
upon justice.
RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION.
American Hebrews Opposed to Receiving
Those Who Are Assisted to Come.
lSFECIAZ, TELXQHAX TO TKS DISPATCH. 1
New York, April 7. Some of the Hebrews
ot this city who take an interest in the people
of their race now coming here from Russiaare
Btrivnig to regulate and systematize tbe immi
gration for the benefit of all concerned. Dur
ing the past year, and especially tbe past half
year, a very large number of. Hebrew immi
grants have arrived at this port, and hundreds
of thousands of their brethren in Russia and
Holland are anxious to find the means that
will enable them to reach the United States.
Multitudes of them are always at Hamburg,
Antwerp and other continental ports awaltmg
the time when they can take passage to this
country. It is considered desirable by Amer
ican Hebrews that the immigration be kept
under restraint, and several of tbe Hebrew so
cieties in New York are engaged in contriving
means to this end. The chief means will be by
the restriction of assisted immigration.
DETROII'S BOGUS BARON.
He Hakes Pretended Wills and Borrows
Money From Its Beneficiaries.
Detroit. April 7. The Baron Herman
Heuer, who recently disappeared from Detroit,
has evidently been resurrected in the person of
Baron Kirk Bcckley at Springfield. Baron
Heuer operated here quite recently. He
posed as a land proprietor from Germany. His
method was quito novel. One day he sent for
Judge Dewey and requested him to draw up a
will, as he was about to submit to an operation
which he hardly expected to survivn.
The Baron instructed Judge Dewey as to the
disposition of some 300,000 in money, besides
vast quantities of other propacty. Most of tbe
benehciaries were residents of this city. Upon
a young lady to whom the Baron feelingly re
ferred as his betrothed, he conferred the title
of Baroness. When the time came to sign the
will the Baron had dlrappeared. It then came
out that on tbe strength of bis bequests he had
borrowed money from all those named in the
will, and some had been swindled in a most
cruel manner.

Less Than Fifty Men Secured by the

WAITIKG FOE THE MILITIA TO LEATB
IFBOM A STAFF COBBXSPOXDXXT.l
Mt. Pleasant, April 7. The restless
spirits of seven dead strikers Caused as
much excitement at Morewood this morning
as 100 armed rioters might have, done.
Everything had been quiet all night until
about the hour at which the killing was
done, when the guard patrolling tbe beat '
passing the fatal spot saw a figure approach
ing him. He called halt, but there was no
answer.
"Checki" he cried, and tbe figure stopped,
bnt only for an instant when several seemed
apjiroaching bim. Becoming a little scared
the guard fired two shots at his mysterious
visitors. In the interval between
firing the two shots the guard
saw, or at least thought be saw, a
bloody wound, bnt after the second shot tbe
figures disappeared. The companies on
guard at shaft A turned out upon hearing
the shooting but found only a guardsman in
a semi-comatose condition. They tried to
langh his notion out of his head, bnt it was
no go, and he declares he is not anxious to go
on duty there again. There were no bids
for that place to-night.
Little Change in the Situation. j
To-day was looked forward to as the tomb
ing point in the strike ot the cokers, bnt it
proved that the end of the affair is as far in
the untold future as ever. Yesterday Morris
Ramsey said that 43 men had gone to work
and to-day he said that number bad in
creased to 53. The strikers claim to have in.
formation tnat about half that number would
be tbe proper figure.
Tbe trath of the matter is that there were 49
men at work to-day. There were 81 men at
work In the yards, and 18 men descended into
the pits. It was el von out by tbe company yes
terday that 150 ovens bad been started, bnt to
day the number had dwindUd to 125, and tbe
actual number would really be nearer the 100
mark. This information comes from a source
most reliable. It is between tbe statements
made by the leaders ot the strikers and tbe
operators.
Neither side can be especially blamed for the
figures given out. The amount of confidence
that can be distilled into tbe tabor men will
figure greatly in the end of the trouble and on
the other band It the operators can make tbem
believe tbaf there is plenty of men willing to
work, they cat) secure other men to take work
tor fear of being left out in the cold.
" Strategy Used on Both Sides.
It is merely a piece of straregyon either side.
Admitting that the highest figures given out are
correct, tbe matter still remains very far from
being settled. About 620 men are necessary to
run the works full, and unless the ratio of in
crease in tho force takes a little jump It will be
considerable time before any gTeat amount of
work can be done.
While those at tbe head of the Morewood
works do not claim to be satisfied at the num-.
oer oi men at work, tney oeueve more win ioi
low day by day until tbe full force Is on hand.
Tbey say that scores ot men are afraid
to work because the military is liable to be
withdrawn at any time, and then tbey wonld be
at the mercy of the strikers. Whether there is
any cause for these fears r not, tbey will not
listen to anything else, and, positively refuse to
accept work, much as they nee.d it An intelligent-looking
yonng 'Hun, who was standing In
the crowd which was watching the review of
tbe troops at Morewood this afternoon, was
drawn into conversation regarding tbe affair.
Not a Very Numerous Class,
There are a few.ottfaaclin uf,men to w&7cjl
he-belongs in this region. Ate proved to ceaoie.
to talk very good English, and was thoroughly
informed regarding tbe strike. He said beyond
a doubt there will be trouble as soon as the
troops are withdrawn. His people, be said, have
a wholesome dread of soldiers, because tbey
know what they do In the old country.
Their intentions are as soon as tbe soldiers
leave the place to stop work by first informing
tbe men tnat they must stop work, and, if that
docs not suffice, harsh measures will be used.
"We are bound to win," said the young man.
'If our people will keep quiet we can do It
easy. I am afraid though that something will
happen when the soldiers leave. The Hungar
ians threaten to kill every man who goes to
work, and 1 am afraid we can't stop their at
at least trying to carry out tbe threat. Young
men like myself are trying to convince- them
that tbe peaceful measures will win where
riotous work will not. If we can't convince
tbem there will be more bloodshed. If they
make any attempts to burn works or do dam
age in any other way I must confess that 1 can't
see any injustice in shooting, but I am different
from tbe general rule of our people."
Labor Leaden Claim a Victory.
Labor leaders are sanguine of success, and
point to the fact that so few men returned as
an Indication In their favor. Yesterday they
feared more men were going to return to work,
but to-day tbey are satisfied that their cause
has a very good chance of success. As tbe sit
uation stands to-night it is simply this: Both
sides claim' that everything is favorable to
them. Tbe operators advance the argument
that the men are returning to work, and the
laboring men claim that they are not going to
work fast enough to do any good.
There the matter rests, and neither can be
proven correct except by tbe lapse of time.
Tbe coke now being drawn from ovens in
this region is of a very poor quality, and a
ready market will not readily be found. On
account of tbe ovens being attended only irreg
ularly, because of tbe strike, it is some time in
tue ovens too long ana is very iignt.

TENTH ON DRESS PARADE.
GOOD WORE CONSIDERING HOW
COMPANIES ABE SCATTERED.
THE
Lieutenant-Colonel Streeter Makes a Sig
nificant Address to the Soldier Boys His
Words Were Also Listened to by Many
of the Strikers.
rFEOSI A STAFF COBRESFOXDEXT.
Mt. Pleasant, April 7. Five com
panies of the Tentb Regiment were on dress
parade to-day in the field just beyond the
lower row of coke ovens at Morewood.
Lieutenant Colonel Streeter was in com
mand. The boys did very nice work, thongh
they were a little ragged on some of the
field movements. This is explained by tbe fact
that the regiment does not get together as
often as the other regiments. Abont once a
year is as often as the regiment has a chance to
do any work together, and tbey cannot then
become perfect.
Quite a large' crowd of strikers were con
gregated along the row of houses near the
field, watching tbe maneuvers of the military.
After the close of the drill Colonel Streeter
made an address to the regiment, but it was
evidently partly meant for tbe benefit of those
behind him. Ho said the men were there to
do their duty, whatever that may be, and must
be at tbeir posts at all times. They are not to
be allowed to come to Mt. Pleasant except
they have orders to obey.
Colonel Streeter then said his men were there
to protect the lives and property of all not
the coke works alone but whatever the law
less might attempt to destroy. So peaceable
persons can or will be molested, but there must
be no rioting, or there will surely be trouble.
Whllo Colonel Streeter was making his little
address several men in the crowd at bis back
were telling it over again in the Hungarian
language, so that it reached all.
Company K. was sent out to Morewood to-day
to relieve Company C, which returned to Mt.
Pleasant, and will do duty here.

SCOTTDALE, April 7. It was learned to
night that the local labor leaders, Wise and
McBride, had been to Greensburg to con
sult tawyer Beacon in regard to the wide
difference between the amounts of bail fixed
for Captain Loar and his "deputies on the
one side and the strikers on the other side.
The citizens were greatly surprised when they
discovered this difference, but Beacon, tbe
Greensbnrg lawyer. Informed Wise and Mc
Bride that a new charge ot murder could bo
sworn ont against Loar and tbe deputies.
After 'Squire Mo Williams, pf Mt. Pleasant,
had refused to entertain the! charges, 'Squire
McOaleb, In making them out, asserted that
Loar and bis men did shoot and kill certain
parties, and then made the charge felonious
Bhooting only.
Tbe Greensburg attorney says that this was a
mistake, and to-day advised Peter Wise and
McBride to at once enter a charge of murder.
The warrants are to be issued tbe first tiling in
the morning, the laoor leaders being no longer
under tho mistaken idea that Captain Loar and
tbe men of his company cannot be arrested
while serving in a military capacity. Tbe only
Immediate effect of these additional charges
will be a greater amount of bail required to
allow Lear and his men their liberty, for tbe
Superintendent of the Southwest Company
baring gone on the previous bonds, will un
doubtedly go on these second ones for any de
sired amount.
The strikers and citizens of Mt. Pleasant
have been greatly excited over the fact that
tl.000 bail was required for the strikers, while
only. (300 was required for the other parties,
and, it! IS.Jthonzht by the laborleaders .that
l."hese second charges will allay their excite

1BT DUWLAP'S CABLE COMPAXT.3
London, April 7. Tbe St. Petersburg
correspondent of tbe London Daily Tele-
graph wires from St. Petersburg to-day tbe
following astounding communication, which
will appear in tbat paper on Wednesday
morning:
On this (Tuesday) morning a fresh attempt on
the lifo of tbe Czar was frustrated,' whether by
mere accident or by the cleverness of tne
police Is uncertain. To-day is the 25th ot
March in tbe Russian calendar and one ot the
greatest holidays of tbe year. Itis-also a great
feast day with the regiments. Imperial Horse
Guards and Cavalier Guards, whom it is cus
tomary for the Czar and Czarina, their re
spective chiefs, to review in tbe manege, oppo
site tbe palace of the Grand Dnke Nicholas.
' Except tho members of the Imperial family,
no one is admitted to this review without a
special invitation issued personally and by
name by an aide-de-camp of either regiment.
The number of invitations is limited to people
known to the aides-de-camp or the officers ot
tbe regiments. All the military appear in gala
uniform, and civilians in evening dress.
Within Five Paces of the Czar.
There are two small stands erected on either
side of tbe portal through which the Czar and
Czarina enter. They- are occupied by the
guests in the order of their arrival. Those who
stand at the end near the door are in close
proximity to His Majesty as he walks into tbe
manege. He approacbes this entrance twice
during the review. At .10:30 this morning a
man of middle height and sallow complexion,
of a Southern type, presented a ticket, and
took bis place at tbe extreme end, where the
distance between the Czar and himself would
not bo more tban about five paces.
The fact tbat this man was tbe first to arrive,
that he took this particular stand and did not
divest himself of his groat coat, aroused sus
picion. His card of invitation was examined
and doubts arose as to whether a ticket had
been issued to any person of bis name.
He was then requested to remove bis great
coat. At first be begged to be excused, on tbe
ground tbat tbere were very strong draughts
In tbe manege.which was true, bnt immediately
afterward be consented and retired to an ante
room for the purpose ot taking it off.
A Yankee Revolver in His Pocket.
Here he was arrested by a detective police
officer in plain clothes, and condncted quietly
to prison, where a Smith k Wesson revolver
was found in his pocket,togetber with a globule
containing what was supposed to be some power
ful poison, which the prisoner, whose name,
real or assumed is Skeamelkin, declared to be
merely a well-known medicine. About three
quarters of an hour alter the arrest of Skea
melkin, the Czar made bis appearance, walking
slowly up the passage between the stands,
where, bad not the would-be assassin been
moved in time, His Majesty must surelythave
been killed.
Tbe correspondent goes on to say: I have
just beard, but do not know whether tbe state
ment is worthy of credence or not, tbat the
police expected tbe arrival of Skeamelkin,
although his wbereabouts were unknown. He Is
said to have come from some provincial city for
the special purpose of attempting tho life ot
tbe Czar, and the. plot is believed to be a con
tinuation ot tbe conspiracy founded by Sophia
Gransbury.

London, April 7. The story cabled from
here tbat Mr. Parnell has been privately

made by Mr. Parnell himself nor by any person
authorized to speak for either of the persons
concerned that they are to be married when
divorce is made absolute. That period Is near
at hand, and the friends ot both are anxious
tbat the ambiguous situation should be

(SPECIAL TSLXOBAH TO TD.X DI8FATCEC I
Bbidoepoet, April 7. Pbineas Taylor
Barnum died at 6:33 to-night at Marina
after an illness of 21 weeks. He has during
that whole period
firmly insisted
that bis sicknesa
was only tempor
ary and that he'
would soon ba
ont again, Mr.
Barnnm had a
severe attack jot
nausea last night
just before mid
night, and from
that time gradu
ally lost strength.
P. T. Mamum. At 3 o'clock this
morning he arose from the bed with the
assistance of two physicians, Dr. Robert
Hubbard and Dr. Charles C. Godfrey. He
suffered no pain, bnt the exertion ezhansted
him and he was obliged to seek his couch
again immediately. He seemed to under
stand that his time was short and requested
his doctors to not leave him.
When spoken to by members of the"
family he wonld open his eyes and after a
moment or two call them by name and make
some cheerful remark. At 10 o'clock Mr.
Barnum became gradually cyuanotic and
big pulse and respiration were both weak.
He recognized those at bis bedside, however;
and the change in condition was very slow.
At tbat time the prospects were that Mr.
Barnum would not last until midnight. Dr.
Godfrey said it was impossible to state
whether death would occnr from lack of
respiration or from heart failure.
Immediate Cause of the End.
The canse, however, was degeneration of
the muscles of the heart superinduced by
general weakness. Aside from rapid pnlse
and high temperatnre there was no change
further until 3 o'clock. Then his respira
tion fell to 41 and the temperature was 103.
Dr. Hubbard announced to the family that
Mr. Barnnm's limit of life was only three
or fonr hours at the most, aud at 6:30 o'clock
be breathed his last. During bis illness tbe
physicians have administered only minute
quantities of opiates for fear serious results
might follow.
Last night be spoke of this, and requested
that if it became certain at anytime that ha
must die shortly morphine or other sedative be
given bim In order that he might not undergo
unnecessary suffering, Tbe first medicine ot
the kind was administered tbis morning, and 18
was understood by the great showman to mean
that his end was very near. Mrs. Barnum re
mained at tbe bedside of ber husband through
out the night, and he seemed satisfied tnat all
was right so long as Nancy was near. This
forenoon Rev. L. li. Fisher, pastor of the Uni
versalist Church, which Mr. Barnnm regularlr
attended when in health, spoke words of con
solation to the dying man. He understood all
that was said, and expressed his readiness to
go when the summons came. Relatives from.
New York arrived this morning, and all day
the bedside has bean surrounded by loving but
sorrowful members of tbe family.
The burial will be at Mountain Grove Ceme
tery, in tlio western part of this city, where a
handsome monument way erected several years
ago by Mr. Barnnm. The bulk of Mr. Bar
nnm's property will co to Barnnm Seeley. his
only grandson, thongh he has made liberal
provisions for his wife, daughters and other
relatives.
The Outlines of His Career.
Phineas Taylor Barnum began an exceedingly
active and extraordinary career on July 5, 1810.
As a schoolboy be distinguished himself in bar
gaining with bis fellows, and got hold of so
mncb of the rather scarce cash ot tbe neigh
borhood that his father indulgently permitted
him to buy his own clothes. He naturally be
came a clerk iu a country store. When about
21 he added to his cares and increased bis ex
perience by becoming the editor of tbe Herald
of Freedom, and serving two or three terms of
imprisonment for libel, though always for tell
ing tbe truth, whicb, however, was no defense.
Various enterprises intervened between these
and the beginning of bis career in what proved
to be bis proper vocation as a showman. His
first venture was tbe exhibition of a colored
woman H2 years old. The Jenny Lind engaee
ment, which netted him over a quarter of a
million, was the firs: ereat evidence of Mr.
Barnum's genius for tbe show business. Since
tben his name has become a honsehold word.
Beside the successes in his chosen field. Mr.
Barnum has been twice unwillingly sent to
Congress, twice elected Mayor of Bridgeport,
and four times a Representative in the Legisla
ture of tbe State. He might have been the
President of the United States, perchance, if
he had not declined the Prohibition nomina
tion tbat was urged upon him. His teetotal
proclivities of tc-aay were those of his
you:h and young manhood, though he
once long ago started a porterhouse and
built np a paying business before disposing of
it to advantage. Tbe break in bis temperance
record was from 1813 to 1817. He learned to
drink while on a visit to England, and on bis
return established a wine cellar, that, he con
fesses, he took great pride in. Even now he

Some years ago Mr. Barnnm wrote as follows!
''Longevity often depends more on the mind
tban on the food we eat. Care kills a cat. Fear,
unpleasant forebodings, apprehensions, fretful,
ness, anger, envy, malice, and undue selfishness
affect tbe brain, react on tbe stomach, prodnce
disease, cause a morbid state of mind, constant
nnhappiness, and premature death. If one
does right bis mind should never be disturbed
by anything which he cannot prevent. He
should be thoroughly convinced tbat It he does
his duty Providence will take care of the rest,
and never send accident, poverty, disease, or
any other apparent evil except for an ultimata
good purpose.
