I THE PARIS TKESS OX GEX. VON MOLTKE
P-lltls, April 2(5. The French Chambers
viil reassemble to-morrow aud will proceeil
itamediaiely to discuss the new tariff. The
decisions of the Chambers on the tariffques
tiua, it is everywhere felt, will be big with
consequences both to the trade of fie coun
try and to the Ministry, whose fate depends
on the action of Parliament. The pros
pective failure of the ceieal harvest has
sllereii the position of ailairs entirely since
the Goverumen drafted the tariff bill, and
the tariff commission has proceeded to in
crease the duties beyond eveu the Govern
ment'' proposal.
3I. Meliue, President of the Commission,
has held daily consultations with the Minis
ter.' lor the purpose of concerting a line of
action against both the ultra protectionists
and til J staali, but eloquent section of free
traders. Tweutj-eight orators have already
inscribed their names as speaking furor
agaii.st. EJniond Lockroy opens fire
agjiut protection. The debate will last a
fortnight. The Government, in view of the
imminence ot famine prices lor bread, will
be forced to lower temporarilv the tariffs on
grain and will probably also be constrained
through the prospect 01 a European tariff
combination to reduce the minimum tariff
so as to iacilitate the formation ot treaties
ba?d on reciprocity.
The Government's Difficult Position.
The Government's proposals, as they 3re
to be applied to the most favored nations,
nnd on which no concessions are possible,
ranire 12 per cent higher than the present
tarifflor countries havinj no treaties with
Prance. The commission has greatly in
creased the minimum, thereby placing the
Government in a difficult position to propose
a foreign reciprocity tariff. The agitation
has led to the formation of an export trade
delense association, and a committee of this
body organized to-day at the Circus to pro
test against the piohibitive policy of the
commission. Fifteen hundred persons at
tended the meeting, at which M. Lockroy
presided.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing the
tariff changes, which it was declared would
ruin France and destroy her industries and
deprive French workmen ot their means of
subsistence. The resolutions urged the
Government to revert to the system ol
treaties which has given France 30 years of
prosperity. The iree traders, however, did
not have things all their own wav at the
meeting, as the protectionists mustered in
stiong force and interrupted the speakers
incessantly. The resolutions were adopted
amid a chorus ot croans and hisses.
Antl-Tarlff A citation.
Premier De Freycinet has received a peti
tion from the Lyons Vniou People's Asso
ciation, asking an immediate suspension of
the tariffs on grain. The association exerts
a wide influence in the southern portion of
France, and its action will doubtless cause
tbe Cabinet to reflect. At a meeting held
to-day in Cognac, in the Department of
Chalant, where 2,000 persons were present,
resolution similar to those adopted by the
meeting in the Circus were passed, while
the anti-tariff speakers were greeted with
enthusiastic cheers. These facts indicate
the swift growth of a formidable movement
against extreme protection.
The May Day celebrations are likely to
prove a ridiculous failure, in consequence of
the squabbles of the Socialist leaders. The
various factious Marxist, Guesdist, Brous
sist, Allemanist, Anarchist, Pcssiblist, Col
lectivist and others all having the common
aspiration to bring about a street row, can
not aeree how to accomplish their purpose
with the least danger of provoking an ex-'
plosion which will end in their summary
punishment. This the Government is en
tirely ready to inflict. M. Constans, Min
ister of the Inter.or, is known to entertain
no scruples as to dealing decisively with the
Anarchist mob. The split relates solely to
the proposed public demonstration. All
sides have agreed to stop work and devote
the day to frolic, drink, dinners and
dances.
Comments on Moltke's Death,
The newspaper comments on the late
General Yon Moltke are generally unsyiu
pathetic and often marked with a Chauvinist
spirit that is repulsive to anybody but
Frenchmen. Thus the Siecle says: The
Gaul salutes without rain anger this bar
barian chief, the last of so many invaders,
with whom a whole age expires.
La Repuhliqve JVancaise says: This
roaster ot the art of war dishonored his most
brilliant victories by cruellies and horrors
which bad been caliulv calculated before
hand and which were revolting to the most
po'eeling minds.
The Jiappel says: General Von Moltke
made a sorrowful gift of militarism to
Europe. His country, ruined by taxation,
Mill soon learn to curse his memory.
The Figaro says: This man who lives
solely to make war, and to whom sentiment
was unknown, was the first that insisted
upon the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine.
This should not ce forgotten.
The Gaulois prints an interview with
General Canroben, in which the Field
Marshal is represented as saying: "Ger
many for a long time to come will be unable
to nnd a man capable of eclipsing Von
Moltke, although his pupils and successors
may continue his line ot wort:. It is we who
now have the great strategist. I mean Gen
eral Von Minbel, our Chiel of Stall."
Col. Yifd Jrnl Visitlnc Paris.

KIDNAPEDTHE BOYS.
TWO GEEMAN TEOFESSOBS GET THEM
SELVES INTO TBOUBLE.
j They Entice I'olUh L'onths to Their Theo
logical Seminaries and Demand Ransom
Jloney A Threat to Send Them to Amer
ica Brings the Police.
rn- ncxur'S cauls compant.i
Berlin, April 2a The BrekluJ and
Kropp Theological Seminaries in Schleswig,
wnere German preachers for the Western
States of America are trained, are again en
gaging public attention. This time it is a
case of kidnaping, iu which Pastor Jeusen,
of the Breklum institution, figures as the
abductor, and Pastor Paulson, of Kropp, as
the receiver ol two sons of a wealthy Polish
cleric
The boys had been enticed into visiting
the Breklum Seminary, and were detained
there against their will and made to write
letters to their parents, asking to be per
mitted to finish their studies there, for
which privilege Pastor Jeusen took care to
demand fees commensurate, as he doubtless
thought, with the high educational advant
ages to be enjoyed by the bo vs. The
parents, however, failed to see their way to
gratifying the wishes of their sons iu this
cse, so the trood pastor simply trausferred
the lads to Kropp, where the same process
of intimidation and extortion was gone
through.
The climax was reached when the Kropp
pastor threatened to pack the bovs off to
America unless the required money was
pjid at once. It was the last straw, as re
gards the Polish parents, who turned the
whole matter over to the police, and lost no
time in extricating the boys from the
clutches of the greedy pastors..
It is considered doubtlul, however,
whether the latter will be prosecuted, as
they have power'ul patrons in the heads of
the orthodox church.
UNLUCKY OFFICIALS.
The Denunciation of the American Hog
Transferred to Hog Inspectors.
rnr punlap's cable courAjrr.i
Berlin, April 26. The opprobrium
which has been so long and so patiently
borne by the American hog has, now that
be is once more allowed to enter the Brand
enburger gate, descended upon the shoulders
of the American Hog Commissioners. The
Cologne Gazette, the grand organ of the in
dustrial population, and the Kreutz Zeitung,
the (mouthpiece of the feudal barons and
native pork producers, be it said, can
not find epithets harsh enough
to fitly characterize these unfortunate
officials. Of course, theyjare thieves, per
jurers and wholly unprincipled, and the
only wonder is that they have escaped
Judge Lynch. Their judgment counts for
nothing, and if they are not actually
stricken with trichinosis they deserve to be.
A highly placed official was asked why,
under the circumstances, the German Gov
ernment would not adopt the simple plan of
having tne pore inspected on arrival and
judgment passed upon it without regard to
the conclusions ol the Washington authori
ties, but he only shrugged his shoulders and
professed to take a very slight interest in
the matter.
HUNGARIAN WIVES
Squandering the Money Their lla.bands In
This Country Send Over.
fBT DCXLAF'S CABLE COMrA.JIT.1
Berlin, April 26. A remarkable story
reached the local American agents at Hos
suret, Saros canton, Hungary, the other
day. Three-fourths of the male inhabitants
of that town have emigrated to America,
promising to send money-after getting set
tled to bring their wives out. They duly
fulfilled their promise, but instead ot using
it for the purpose intended, the grass widows
made merry as long as the money lasted,
whic' was not very long, as the "country
abounds in moonshiners, who sell gin at an
unlawful but doubtless profitable rate
and of a correspondingly inferior quality.
The local authorities are powerless or un
willing to cope with this new revolt of
women, and the spiritual authorities are
petitioning the Government to intervene,
for the sake of the practically orphaned
children.
A PLAYFUL EDITOR.
Be Gets Himself Nine Months Imprison
ment for an Innocent Remark.
BI DCHLAF'S CABLE COM FA NT. 3
Berlin, April 26. Editor Boshardt, of
Gotha, who has alreadv served several terms
in the penitentiary for expressing his liberal
views in print, has again been sentenced to
nine mouths' imprisonment for stating that
he could do the little governing required in
Bulgaria after business hours. This playful
remark the State's Attorney was able to
persuade the Court involved the crime of
lese majeste against Prince Ferdinand,
who, as he belongs to the Coburg-Gotha
family, must not be criticised.
Boshardt will appeal to the Reichs
gericht, on the plea that Ferdinand is not a
monarch recognized by the German Em
pire, and therefore is not entitled to the
protection of a German court of law.

here, and the law society has invited her to
lecture before its members at their next

General Von Jloltke expressing respect for
the dead veteran and sympathy for his be

RESPECT FOR ROYALTY.
Emperor 'William In Determined, to En
force It in Ills Dominions.
ruT DcxLArjs cable comfast.i
Berlin. April 26. The Emperor has re
cently shown that he is determined to en
force respect for royalty, even when royalty
has small respect for itelf. Last week
several Berlin papers published an adver
tisement by the Buda Ptsth Chief of Police,
in which a fugitive from justice was de
scribed as the exact double of ex-King
Milan.
The Emperor at once ordered that the dis
respectful sentence must disappear from
German prints. ' The command was, of
course, complied with, but thevery fact of
its being issued served to bring the matter
to universal notice.
MOURNING FOR MOLTKE.
Emperor William's Tribute in His Order to
the Army.
Berlin, April 26. The body of the late
Count Von Moltke was viewed by the pub
lic to-day from noon until 5 o'clock in the
afternoon. The bier, which is placed in the
ballroom of the staff building, is draped
with white silk embroidered with silver,
and a coverlet, designed by the deceased for
the purpose, covers the body as far as the
breast. The Emperor has ordered the army
to go into mourning for eight days. The
deceased count's own regiments will mourn
for 12 or 14 days.
Emperor William, in his order instruct
ingahe army to go into mourning for the
late Geueral Von Moltke, says: "A friend
and counselor has been removed Irom my
side. 1 most deeply mourn this irreparable
loss' to myself, to the arniv and to the
Fatherland. To his last hour the deceased
enjoyed unprecedented renown by reason of
his military achievements and his services
for the welfare or the Fatherland, whose
gratitude will never die."
AMERICANS IN ITALY.
The United States Legation Refuses to Grant
a Letter Insuring Safety.
Home, April 26. There have been an in
creased number of inquiries at the United
States Legation here as to whether
Americans could travel in Italy without
fear of insult or outrage. This feeling of
dread upon the part of Americans who were
desirous of visiting Italy this year has seri
ously affected the sale of tourist tickets for
Italy. One of the largest tourist houses
recently instructed its agent in this city to
ask the United States Legation to give the
firm a letter which they could use in their
business, assuring Americans that they
could travel in Italy in perfect safety.
Tbe United States Legation was com
pelled to reiuse to grant this request, as in
view of the continuance of the violent news
paper attacks upon Americans, the officials
here could not feel justified in doing so.

G0VEHN0B E0GQ TELLS HIM WHY THE
STATE NEEDS HIS SEEVICES.
The Railroad Commission Has the Power to
Right the Wrongs of the People A Use
less Body Unless It Fully Enforces the
Law.
AUSTIN, April 26. In the letter of Gov
ernor Hogg, appointing Hon. John H. Rea
gan Chairman of the Texas Railroad Com
mission, he says:
"Continuously for many years our agri
culture and commercial interests have been
severely depressed, for which there are
three causes first, burdensome and unnec
essary Federal taxes called tariff; second,
the country wants more money as a circu
lating medium, and, third, oppressive local
freight rates.
"With the evils of the first two the Fed
eral Government alone can deal; the third
is within tbe executive control of the State
Government. The time has come for it to
be bandied. In former years you have
constantly labored with other Democrats of
the House aud as Senator in Congress to re
duce tbe tariff to tbe lowest rate consistent
with economical administration of the Gov
ernment and to have free coinage of silver
for the people and relief. This work will
continue until just results shall have been
attained.
"You are needed now at home where you
can render active service to those who al
ways honored you and who would not fail
to do so at any time to the full extent of
your ambition. -So lar as it were in their
power for years the people have been trying
to secure n commission law. They have one
now and it i. possible for them to get relief
from the wrongs of railway management.
The law is useless and it will become a farce
without wise and jnst enforcement Your
long advocacy of such a messure and great
experience in public affairs, especially those
of material interest to commerce and agri
culture, warrants me to hope that under the
impulse of patriotism, so often moving you
to subordinate personal ambition and pride
to the public good, you will now act on the
commission."
HEW YOEK CLOTHING BOYCOTTED.
A Hostile Bill to Be Introduced In the Mas
sachusetts Legislature.
New York, April 26. Asa result of the
investigation recently made into the condi
tion of the tenement house clothing "sweat

mittee sent by the Union Tailors and Cut
ters' Association, of Boston, a bill has been
introduced into the Massachusetts Legisla
ture, and has passed the Senate, the purpose
of which is to boycott all ready made cloth
ing manufactured in this city.
The Boston clothing manufacturers are
greatly exercised over the matter and have
appointed a committee, who have called
upon the Clothing Association of this city
u rein j it to use its influence in order to se
cure the defeat of the bill. Tbe bill pro
vides for an inspection and examanation of
all clothing coining into the State by an in
spector, who, in finding that it has been
made in improper places or under un
healthy conditions, must report the facU to
tbe State Board of Health, which shall de
tain the clothing and make such reports as
the health of the community requires. It
also requires all goods offered for sale, made
out of the State, to have a label or tag upon
them stating where tbey were made.

ADVISED TO KETHBN.

His Church to Go to Work.
HIS SKKM0N CAUSES 1IDCB TALK.
Socialists Throw Off the Mask and Hint at
Bloody Things,
A REPORT THAT ALAKJIED THE POLES
miOM X STAFF COBBESPOXPEXT.l
Scotidale, April 26. At his first and
second mass to-day tbe Bev. Father
Lambing -nade an address, which will have
a great influence on the result of the coke
strike and may be the means of breaking it
entirely. He advises members of his con
gregation to return to work without regard
to the organizations. During the course of
his address the reverend gentleman said:
Last summer I heard there were Socialistic
agitators establishing lodges in the coke
resions, butl did not feel called upon to speak
of the matter, as persons who will pay atten
tion to such speakers when tbe community Is
in a quiet stato will not listen to a priest. They
have practically lost the faith.
Socialism and Anarchism Allied.
Popular socialism Is so closely related to
anarchism that tbe Socialist is usually an
Anarchist, and as anarchism is the deadly foe
of law and order tbe Anarchist Is the impla
cable enemy of the priest: hence I was not sur
firised to hear that the Socialists last sainmor
iad. in tbelr speeches, said not to support the
priest.
These are times that try men's souls; times
when it is necessary to keep one's Blind aud
conscience in good order, so as not to fall into
absurdities and sin. You should have been
treated better by your employers! you have
grievances that should be redressed; your con
dition should be improved; but socialism can
not improve it. This you would know If you
stopped to till uk: but in times of trouble like
the present men are not apt to see clearly.
Plnkertons Beneath Contempt.
Plnkertons are usually tbe dregs of society,
making trouble wherever they go, If tbey do
not And it. They should be beneath even your
contempt. It is otherwise with tbe deputies
and soldiers. They are tbe civil and military
power of tbe State and are to he respected and
obeyed in their official capacity, as your cate
chism teaeb's you to obey tbe laws and respect
the public officers not only for wrath fear of
?unishraent but also for justice fear of sin
or such is the will of God.
Not tbat It is the will of God that tbey should
be here; but being here tbey are to be respected
and obojed; for there is no power bnt from
God and those who aro ordained of God: there
fore those who resist the power, resist the ordi
nance of God and purchase to themselves
damnation.
Cannot Live in Tentr.
I said last Sunday tbat it Is sometimes wise
to accept what under other circumstances it
migbt be better to refuse. Some ot you have
had to leave your homes and generally did so
qnietly, as was proper; others have been noti
fied to leave. You cannot live In tents; the
health and comfort of your wives and little
ones must be looked after.
Ever consulting your temporal and spir
itual welfare, I bave always advised you to get
homes for yourselves. It would be cruel now
to say for you are suffering too much that if
sonio among you bad given for homes what you
have given for rent and directly or indirectly
for drink, you could laugh at tbe evictors. But
your wivc3 and little ones know that if you
now had this money it would come in good.
Well, be better advised another time.
Moral Effect or Tent Life.
Even if your wires and little ones were
robust enough to rongh It in tents, consider its
moral effect on your cbildren. You must pre
serve your children as much as passible from
tbe evil influence ot these troubles and do what
you can to counteract the influenca you cannot
prevent, .
What are you going to do about It; go somo
wbere else? That's what I said to a man a
couple of days ago. "In the name of God," be
answered, "nhere can I go? There is no work
anywhere." That is tbe case in a nutshell. But
there is work here on .certain conditions.
I am not addressing or advising tbe strikers.
Tbey or their leaders have joined bands with
Anarchical Boclalists,who prefer tbe red Sag of
riot to tbe stars and stripes of law and order. I
am speaking to Catholics, whuso temporal and
eternal welfare would be in better condition
had my advice been followed.
Advised to Go to Work.
And what do I say T Go to work upon the con
ditions offered. There will be few good men
in the region when tbe strike is over; and they
will be in demand at a premium. You can
work till you have a chance of a better job;
ami there will always be more good places than
good men to nil them.
But someone will say: "What assurance will
we have tbat these conditions will ba lived up
to?" Just the same you and your leaders ana
employers always have had each other's word.
Tbe same you wonld have if you hired with
anyone else, or anyone else would bave hiring
with you. Employers and employed in not ex
change articles ot agreement or bonds; they
depend on each other's bonor. I would like to
see your condition improved, but your leaders
made mistakes and blunders and have now
joined hands with tbe advocates of the red flag.
Talking Only to Catholics.
As Catholics you cannot follow them, lam not
talking to strikers, but to my congregation, and
I ask you, am I not as capable to advise in this
matter as bad Catholics, drunkards and An
archical Socialists, and as worthy of a respect
ful hearing? With St. Paul, "Before God, 1
lie not," when I say I believe tbe best thing
you can do since these Socialists have come
into tbe region is return to work.
This advice is not given rasbly. I do not say
the strikers cannot wiu it they hold out long
enough, hut that you, as Catholics, bave to cut
loose from these leaders; and that, under the
circumstances which tbey have brought on, tbe
best thinr you can do for yourselves, wives and
cbildren is to return to work. Hut what will
become of the labor union in tbe region? What
has become of it? It has been hauded over to
Socialists, under whose red flag you cannot
rally.
Cannot Follow the Leaders. .
You will not bave left the union; It has left
yon. Its leaders have taken It where tbey
knew you cannot follow. If you wisb, you can
form another with sober, Industrious, honor
able law-abiding leaders.
The address of Father Lambing was the
main topic of discussion on the street to-day,
aud he was in turn branded and defended
by the different partiesju the great strike.
Father Lanibing's congregation generally
follows his advice, and the operators now
believe that this week will find tbe strike
broken up. The labor men say it will make
no difference, and that for once -Father
Lambing's people will act for themselves.
A Polish man is authority for the state
ment that Manager Lynch, of the Frick
Company, had asked Father Szmeigel to
make tbe statement from the pulpit that
unless the men return to work they will be
sent back to the old country. Though the
story could not be verified, it caused consid
erable excitement amoug tbe Poles, who be
lieve it possible for Manager Lynch to ship
them back to Europe.
Socialists Throw On" the MasK.
To-day the Socialists threw off their hpyo
critical mask aud made addresses as blood
thirsty as were ever listened to. Their meet
ing was quite largely attended, and as all
seemed in sympathy with the speakers'
ideas they gave them a fine dose of sociair
ism mixed with anarchy.
Jonas was the first speaker, and immedi
ately plunged into his subject by showing
the social inequality of the rich and tbe
poor. Hp declared that the time was not
far distant when tbe Government wonld
own the railroads, the telegraph, land,
machinery aud'works of tbe country and all
a man will own trill be his home and his
clothes.
"Slavery was abolished nnd there was a
rebellion," fce said. "We will not rebel,
but soon ,we will have the largest iu numer
ical strength, and will decree tbat tbe rich
must divide with the poor. Of course they
will rebel and, we will have to use force to
put down tbe rebellion. Blood will be
shed, but what of that, when tbe end gained
will be'so great a boon to the poor ot our
land."
The speaker continued in this strain of
talk for some time. He was followed by his
colleague, Delabar, who was somewhat
milder in his raviiigs. Parker.

Bouse In Bethel.

Connellsville, April 26. At Bethel
borough, a small coke town near Union
town, the people are taking in the red flag
business, and one is hung on nearly every
house. It looks rather Anarchistic. At
Leisenring No. 2, the Pinkertons have
stretched a guard out on the road and no
one if allowed to pass that way.
To-night a party of young men enronte
from Uniontown to Connellsville, were
compelled to drive five miles out of their
way by Pinkertons refusing to allow them
to pass.

The Bad Sioux's Uncle Testifies That He
Killed Lieutenant Casey.
Sioux Falls, April 26. The most im
portant witness on tbe stand in the trial of
Plenty Horses, tbe Sioux charged with the
murder of Lieutenant Casey, was Bear-That-Lays-Dotn,
who bad been sent by Lieuten
ant Casey to invite Bed Cloud to
meet him, and is an uncle of the
prisoner. He testified tbat he left Casey,
Plenty Horses, Broken Arm and White
Moon on tbe hill where he first fonnd them,
with 20 or 30 others. On returning from
Bed Cloud's camp with Peter "Ricord, he
met Casey and those with him. All stopped
and engaged in conversation, the witness
fronting his horse so as to face Casey and
the accused.
The District Attorney asked the witness
if he knew who murdered Casey, and the
reply was "I do," and the next question
was "Who?" Plenty Horses leaned for
ward in the prisoners' box, as a painful
look of anxiety spread over his features,
and when his uncle in Indian answered
"Tountaoa" (or Plenty Horses) the pris
oner gave a loud grunt and leaned back
with a scowl on his face. This concluded
the testimony of the day, and the court ad
journed until Monday.
DRIVEN FROM THE TOWS".
A Salvation Army Preacher and His Com
panion Not Wanted in Clarksbnrg.
Clarksburg, W. Va April 26. Yes
terday a former Salvation Army preacher,
Kev. Vernon Morman, and Mrs. Behols
were driven irom this city on threats that if

arrested at Philippi and jailed there, bnt

band's home. Hence their summary treat
ment. THE STRIKE WAS A MISTAKE.
Carpenters and Painters at Slonon City
Went Oat Too Soon.
rsTECIAI. TKLXOKAM TO TBE DISP ATCH.:
Charleroi, April 26. There is now no
doubt that tbe union carpenters belonging
to Monon City, who were working here, were
rather hasty in striking the first of the
week. They were followed by tbe painters.
who seemed also in a hurry to rnsh the first
of May. It is now said a mistake was the.
canse of the strike.
However, the contractors here are offering
$2 SO per day for good workmen, and say
they will have enough to continue work
right along. That good carpenters are
wanted here, however, is not denied.

WORK FOR THE HOUSE

PROSPECTIVE K0AD BILL FIGHT.
The Apportionment and tavenua Bills Are
Yet in Hand.
THE FAECB OF C0M3I1TTEE HEARINGS
FHOM A STAFF COBllKSrOSDEXT.3
Harrisburg, April 26.--The House has
its hands full for the coming week. The
three sessions a day last week, and which
will be continued until adjournment, helped
to elear the calendars, so far as appropria
tion bills were concerned, but there was not
much accomplished in general legislation.
Almost four entire sessions were consumed
in recalling and reconsidering the Brooks
wholesale license bill, and it is to be hoped
that the Senate will pass it in its present
shape, for should it come back to the House
again there is no telling how much longer it
mi,; lit d lay legislation.
At no time is the deep feeling on the
liquor question in this State so plainly evi
denced in the House as when bills touching
the traffic come up. There is no lack of in
terest then. Members who ordinarily take
bnt little part, and apparently little in
terest, in legislation are on hand then,
auxious to get on the record in accordance
with the sentiments of their f constituents,
for they know there is no question upon
which they will be held so strictly account
able for their action as upon theliquor ques
tion. Must Go on Record,
The road bill will be reached this week,
and its friends will make a big effort to get
it through. It is hard to say whether they
will succeed or not. There appears to be
a reaction in its favor, but whether it is
strong enough to overcome the oppo
sition which cropped out in second reading
is not easily foretold.
The apportionment bills are all in now.
It is possible that special orders will be
made for them, although this may not be
necessary. Bills fixing the several judicial.
Congressional, Senatorial and legislative
districts as they are at present were intro
duced early in the session, reported affirma
tively and'then recommitted, to be arranged
to suit the present conditions. Their being
reported gave them their place on the calen
dar, and they are thus in fair shape for
early consideration. When they come up
the "eloquence will likely break forth, and
valuable time will be worse than wasted un
less the previous question is called, as it was
on the legislative and Congressional bills in
1887 and debate summarily squelched.
This seems rather tough on the minority,
but, as politics go on these questions, the
majority determines what is a just apportion
ment, and if "'twere done when 'tis done,
'twere well 'twere doue quickly."
Their Business In Good Shape.
So many of the Senators will be absent on
the Appropriations Committee's trip among
the State institutions, that not much busi
ness of importance is likely to be transacted.
However, their calendars are well up, and
there Is no danger of the Honse getting
ahead of them.
The revenue bill still hangs in theFinance
Committee of the Senate, and further dele
gations are to be heard in opposition to it.
It is difficult to conceive greater farces than
are the most of these hearings before com
mittees. In a majority of instances, tbey
merely bore the members of tbe committee
and delay the bill's consideration in tbe
body in which it is pending. And tbe
greatest of all these farces have been tbe
hearings on the Taggart revenue bill.

The Frightful Condition in Which a Lone
Settler Was Foand.
Winnipeg, April 26. Joseph Cotour,
while hunting in Labroque, n6ar Boundary,
Minn., a few days ago, ran across a little
shanty, in front of which wis a human
foot. Entering, he found a man named
McKinnon lying on a bundle of rags,
almost famished and nearly insane from
suffering. Some weeks ago both his feet be
came frozen and mortification began in one
foot. In desperation he cut it off with a
butcher knife and threw it outside. This
ciippled him completely, and he lay in his
hut, dying Of starvation, thirst, and pain
nntil the chance appearance of the wander
ing hunter.
Giving the wounded man something to
eat, Cotour set out at once to obtain assist
ance. He secured a team and two men and
returned to the hut, only to find thatiu the
intervening perind tbe wounded man had
hacked off his other foot, mortification hav
ing also attacked it. McKinnon was placed
on a wagon and a stait was made for Win
nipeg, but the condition of tbe sufferer pre
cluded rapid traveling, and not until to-day
was tbe wounded man placed in the hospital.
He is in a frightful condition, and his re
covery is doubtful.
A COUNTER COURT MARTIAL
Being Reprimanded a Captain Makes It Hot
for Ills Accuser.
Cincinnati, April 26. Charges have

First' Regiment, Ohio National Guard,
against the commanding officer. Colonel W.
B. Smith. Captain Becht has just emerged
