THE WOEK FOE AXD AGAINST HILL I SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Colusibus, O., Feb. 12. Lincoln Day has been celebrated by Ohio Kepublicans as never before. The seventh annual con Tention of the League of ltepublican Clubs and a banquet in the evening constituted thee-.ents. They called together over GOO accredited delegates, and they participated Jn the banquet, followed by an elaborate programme of speeches and expression of icntinient. The interest of the occasion was some what marred by the failure at the last mo ment, of Cbauucey JL Depew and General J. S. Clarkson to appear, but Sloat Fassctt, ofXcw York. Governor McKinley, For aker. ex-Congressman Allen, of Michigap, and lesser lights made up partly for the de ficiency, and an enthusiastic time was had. McKinley on the Tresent Congress. McKinley and Forakeraddressed the con vention during the afternoon. The Gov ernor said it was the intention of the pres ent Congress.to rip up the tariff law, attack ing it item by item, but they had not done so anl would not do so in the next 2,r years; that they dare not even attack the free surar clause. Foraker eulogized McKinley and suggested him for President, regretting that ISUine' hadi declined the use of his name, and was in favor of the nominee of the Minneapolis Convention. In the business of the convention it was developed there had been over 500 clubs organized during the past year, and the organization had a balance ot about 52,500 in the treasury. The President, AV. 1. Squires, made a speech in which he pre dicted a bright fnture for the organization, and laid considerable sticss upon it as an educator. Squires was re-elected President bv acclamation, with contests for the minor offices, and delegates were selected to the National Convention, the date of which is to behereattcr named. Harrison Not Indorsed. The resolutions of the convention indorse Harrison's administration, but consider it wise not to indorse anyone Jbr President or outline auy policy, but leave such matters jo the Minneapolis Convention. Foraker received an ovation at the ban quet this evening. He did not enter the hall till 10:;!0 o'clock, when he came unat tended, and the demonstration was wonder ful. Maine and Foraker sentiment pre vailed to the exclusion of all others. The only picture which graced the banquet hall w as one of large size of Blaine. A number of speeches were made later in the night, the most important being those of McKin ley and Foraker, while the various clubs liad numerous young representatives on the programme. 3IAKIXG IT HOT FOR HILL. TSrooklyn Democrats Protest Against Hit Karly Convention Ills Machine Methods Itoamlty Denounced at a Mass Meet ingNo Treeze Out. Brooklyn', Feb. 12. The Criterion Theater was where the indignant Demo crats of the City of Churches to-night poured fourth their protests against the so called "Freeze Out" Convention of the Democratic State Committee. Augustus Healy, the Chairman, opened the meeting and his catlHng rebuke of Mr. Hill and his followers was cheered at every point, and there were repeated cheers for Grover Cleveland. Mr. Hcaly introduced Edward M. Shepard as. Chairman. Mr. Shep hard spoke in severe condemnation of the act of the Hill Democrats in calling such an early convention and ended with thi statement, that the com mittee of 2." having in charge the meeting wa not putting itself on record for any one man for the Presidency. It had come out for home rule, sound money, tariff reform, a fair field and open discussion. Some ono remarked, toward the close of the SDeech, that David B.Hill could wait until lb'.Ki, and Mt. bhepard smiled. Mr. Shepard was followed by John Dewitt Warner, whose speech was the principal one of the evening. Mr. AVarncr first dealt with the defeat of Mills for the speakership. He said that he was beaten by a combination of those who were opposed to the management under which the Democratic party had succeeded, ol which combination the Xcw York State Democratic organization, directed by Gov ernor Hill, was a powerful factor. What ever may have been the motives of others, Mr. Warner stated that in his opinion Hill's plan, as defined bv his Elmira speech, was to call a halt in tariff reform and to bring tree coinage to the front How well he succeeded was shown by sub sequent events. Ihc speaker said that the people did right to protest agaiust the midwinter convention. Jtwa, he said, only the last and crowning crime of a long series that the present Dem ocratic State organization" had committed, and he took it that ihe meeting meant that the people were not going to merely repudi ate the conention now called, but to give notice that thej would visit with political leath any man or organization that dares thus to lorge the names of the Xevr York Democracy. The resolutions adopted protest against the call for the earlv convention "heeanso it seeks to subordinate the intelligence and conscience of the misses of the Democratic party to theoperations of ingenious politi cal mechanism and management, and be cause a triumph of such management would discredit the party and its principles and threaten serious disaster. " THE PARTY OF DON'TS. Ssrator Culloni, a I'residcntal Possibility, Talkk ISacily to tho Marquette Club or Chicago He rajs Sarcastic Respects to Many Democratic Statesmen. Cnif oo, Feb. 12. The Marquette Club celebrated the birthday of Abraham Lincoln with a banquet at the Auditorium Hotel to night. Tlie principal address w as delivered by Senator fahel'iv M. Cullom, who lately announced himself a a candidate for the Presidency ot the United Slates He re sponded to the toast, "Abraham Lincoln." After sketching the life of his subject, he ssid: Don't" always has bren tho burden of the Democratic -ong, and is now.

He would bid us, also. I am sure, to hold last to the doctrine of honest monov for honest Seople, applied in statesmanship so ns to rinjj about at an early day the ro-cstablish-lnent of silver in its former dignity as a money metal, the equal of gold in coinage and tender. He would adviso us, also, I be lic.c, that it is the duty of the Republican party to continue to insist upon, and, if need be, to compel m some way, the general recognition of the equality of all citizens before the law. DALZELL OX WATERWAYS. He Shows YA Iiy They Area Necessity Tho Improvement of Streams and Building or Canute a Sure Forerunner of Great Prosperity. Lakcastkr, Pa., Feb. 12. Special Lincoln's Birthday was commemorated this evening with a large meeting in the Court Houc The speakers were Hon. John Dal zell, of Allegheny; Colonel "V. A. Stone, of Pittsburg, and' Hon. Marriott Brosins, of this district. The speakers discusscdnational subjects from a Iteoublican standpoint Mr. Dalzell's address was an eloquent trib ute to the martyred Lincoln, as well as a forcible presentation of tacts in connection with the vital question of transportation as connected with the nation's development. Among other things he said. One great need of this country is a system of water-ways, auxiliary and supplemental to our railwavs. to carrv tho fieights that thoy cannot am-, to regulate their cuarges, and to furnish transportation at such rates as hall cheapen many of our products. Let me illustrate by a single example: The Mahoning valley, in Ohio, the Shenango valley and Allegheny county nnd its -vicinity, in Pennsylvania, produced, in 1SS;, ;23 per cent or tho entire pig iron output of tho United States in that year, amounting to 2,330.000 net tons. This aggregate, it is estimated, will be increased (if proper facilities be furnished) by the year 1800 to 4,750,000 tons. The raw material for this product conies from the lake regions, and will aggregate 8.500,000 of tons of ore. It ls perfectly apparent that such supply is bcond any probable, I might say possible, abilitj of railwajs, constructed or to be constructed, to carry. Now, let it be icmembcred that betweon the Ohio river at Pittsburg ana Lake Kno there intervene but 100 miles," or there abouts, or space, and it is clear that a t-hip canal connecting the two would prove a benefit to commerce and manufactures of incalculable value, not local, but national. It would, moreover, ns has been s-aid, "complete a grand national Uighwnv from the coal fields of Eastern Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, and those regions for which the ilonongahcla and Kanawha livers le spectivcly are outlets to tho Ohio to all lake ports of the great Northwest, and bo of al most inestimable value to the several wide domains more immediately atlected, and through them to the country at largo." The saving in freight rates and in conse quent cost of production ouldlna short time more than reimburse the outlay for the improvement. Pennsylvania let us rejoice has already waked up to the value of such an enteiprisc, andat her cost, puisuant to an act of her Republican Legislature, a survey has been perfected and reported demonstrating the possibility of Such a canal. I think I can speak with confidence for her representa tives in the National Legislature and say that no effort of theirs will bewantingto make such w ork and all works of such char acter a national care. HAEEIS0N PSAISED By His Attorney General at a Seml-Pollt- leal Club's Dinner. Philadelphia, Feb. 12. The Pennsyl vania Club, a semi-political organization of this city, to-night celebrated the birthday of Abraham Lincoln by a dinner which in future it proposes to make an annual affair. The principal guests of the evening were Attorney General Miller, Solicitor General Taft, and United States Senator Gallinger, of Xew Hampshire. When cigars had been reached President Gazzam proposed the first toast, "Abraham Lincoln." C. Stuart Patterson. Dean of the Law School of the University of Pennsylvania, responded. At the conclusion of Mr. Patterson's speech Attorney General Miller arose and spoke to the toast, "The Present Administration." Mr. Miller in the early part of his address said: Of tho Chief Executive, of tho manner in which he has maintained the dignity and honor of the nation, nnd the rights of its people abroad, of the genoral policy of his administration in domestic affairs, of the character of his state papers, tho qualitvof his political appointments, of li's fidelity to personal and party pledges, and in the exe cution of all laws, of his astonishing grasn of all questions arising in cverv department of the Government, in short; of tho head of tho adminixtration, I shall not speak He needs no spokesman, either in or out of his Cabinet. Tho countiy has, I think, learned that Benjamin Harrison can speak and act for himself to, of great affairs of State, international incidents, national finances, systems of tax ation, the policv of rebuilding the navy, ex tensions or trade bv recipi ocal conventions, of all' these and like subjects of Govern mental policy, and therefore of politics the public prints are full, and they aro asido from my present purpose.

Special Almost a quarter of the 128 Assembly dis tricts of the State have elected their delegates to the Washington's Birth day Democratic Convention in Albany. The delegates have been selected from coun ties all over the State, 09 delegates in all, from 23 assembly districts. The delegates in many cases have been instructed by the conventions that selected them, and they stand ti9 for Hill and 3 anti-Hill. Without considering Xcw- York or Brooklyn Senator Hill will have a majority ot the convention. There has been a change in the pro gramme for dclegates-at-large. Edward Murphy, Chaiiman of the Democratic State Committee, has announced that he would rather go as delegate from his district tnan at large, and Lieuten ant Governor Sheehan has made a similar statement. Senator Hill wants Mr. Mc iJaughlin, of Brooklyn, and Mr. Croker, of Xcw; York, to be among the dele gates, preferably delegates at large. Senator Hill is at the Delevan House, where he has several clerks busy in a suite of rooms looking after his big correspond ence with the Democrats of this and other States.

The Woman Forced to 'Prosecute Her Weep3 While Doing So. LONDON'S LATEST SENSATIONAL CEliE Loxdost, Feb. 12. Mrs. Florence E. Osborne was placed on trial in the Bow street police' court to-day. She was escorted fromfjail by officers and in the dock presented a pitiable appearance. She was dressed entirely in black, and when she was placed in the prisoner's dock she wept bitterly, bowing herhead in her hands so her face could, not be seen. Captain Osborne stood outside the dock, and held one of her hands in his own, and strived to infuse her with courage to face the terrible ordeal before her. It could readily be seen that the sym pathy of nearly every one present was with the unfortunate husband, who has done everything in his power to alleviate the suffering of the woman who has brought such unmerited 'disgrace upon his name. His friends insist that no disgrace should attach to him for the acts of his wife, and though society deciees that he should suf fer for a crime of which he knew nothing, thev express their determination to stick by him. Captain Osborne, it will be recalled, was engaged to Miss Elliott at the time the charge of theft was made against her, but, haying perfect faith in her innocence, he married her, and only acknowledged her guilty when the most positive proot was put before him. But that has made no per ceptible difference in his public treatment or her, and his unfortunate position, it is said, has much to do with the sympathy for the young wife. Tho Story or the Crime Keloid. Sir John Bridge occupied the magisterial chair. Before him Jlrs. usoorne, nee Elliott, was arraigned to answer the charge of larceny and perjurv made against her in connection with the libel suit she brought against her one time friend, Mrs. Har greave, who had charged her with the theft of a quantity of valuable jewelry. Mr. C. F.'Gill, the" well-known solicitor, appeared for the Treasury to prosecute the charge. He produced the formal evidence of the perjury as shown by the records of the Hig'her Court and then called as pr wit ness Mrs. Hargreave, the lady from whom -the jewelry was stolen and against whom Mrs. Osborne, in a desperase effort to pre serve her character, had brought the suit for libel. Mr$. Hargreave entered the witness box and repeated the evidence she had given on the occasion of the trial of the libel suit. She told of how Mrs. Osborne (then Miss Elliott) had visited her at Torquay; how she had shown the jewelry in question and the secret receptacle in which it was kept Then the witness told of missingthejewelry, the efforts made to discover who had stolen it, and how finally it was traced to Messrs. Spink & Sons, the jewelry firm, who had bought it from an unknown lady. She told in detail her reasons for suspecting Miss Elliott, and how the nroof was obtained. showingbeyond doubt that she was guilty of theft. Tho Prosecutor Deeply Affected. Mrs. Hargreave went on to say.tbat the jewelry had been restored to her, and that all the costs incurred by her in defending the libel suit bad beeu paid back to her. The witness was then asked if she had seen Mrs. Osborne since the latter had returned to England. With every evidence of deep emotion, Mrs. Hargreave said that she had visited her at the jail yesterday. Mr. Spink, the jeweler, was then called to give evidence regarding the purchase of the jewelry. He identified Mrs. Osborne as the lady from whom he had bought the jewelry. After further evidence byMr. Spink andawitness from the Bank of England, regarding the notes signed by the prisoner, which it is admitted she received in ex change for the gold paid to her by Mr. Spink, the magistrate asked Mrs. Osborne if she had anything to say concerning the charges against her. She, in a very faint voice, answered, ".No." The prisoner was then formally committed for trial, i rorceil to Posh tho Case. It was very evident in the court room to day that neither Major Hargreave nor his wife entertain the least ill feeling toward Mrs. Osborne; on the contrary they plainly showed that they were doing their best to help that unfortunate lady to escape the legal consequences of her acts. As a matter of fact the Hargreaves, have never displayed any animosity toward Mrs. Osborne, and they have been among lier most earnest sympathizers. It was said at one time that Major Hargreaves had declared that he and his wife would leave England before they would appear as witnesses against their friend, but it appears that the Treasury prevented them from carrying.this inten tion into effectPby serving a subptcna. Mrs. Hargreaves stated that her presence wa3 due only to the fact that a subpoena had been served upon her. The solicitors representing the Har greaves and those who appeared for Mrs. Osborne engaged in a cordial and earnest conversation in the courtroom, and it could be seen that the representatives of the Har greaves were as solicitous for the welfare of Mrs. Osborne as were the representatives of that lady themselves. When during the course of the hearing th5 pearls which have been the cause of all the trouble were produced in evidence Mrs. Osborne broke dowij completely, Her body 1 shook convulsively and from her eyes there poured a flood of bitter tears. Mrs. Har greaves herself was more than touched by the misery of her friend. She could only control herself by the greatest effort, and she wept almost as freely as the prisoner. She leaned tow ara the dock and tried to whisper a few words of encouragement and hope to Mrs. Osborne, but her tears com pelled her to stop and she buried her face in her handkerchief. Love Led Her the Wrong; Way. Mr. Gill, after this scene, continued his examination, but Mrs. Hargreave only re plied in monosyllables to his many "ques tions. When Mrs. Hargreave passed Mrs. Osborne in the law courts during the pro gress of the libel suit she stood and glared fiercely at her. This, however, Was but a temporary exhibition of feeling, due en tirely to the inconvenience entailed by the" action Mrs. Osborne had brought against her. Mrs. Hargreae now fully under stands that that action was but a desperate attempt of Mrs. Osborne to retain the love and respect of her husband and friends, and she almost acknowledges now that in view of the noble character of Captain Osbonfc she does not blame Mrs. J usoorne ior wanting lo appear innocent in his eyes. To-day as Mrs. Hargreave passed the dock as she left the witness box she' placed her hand on Mrs. Osborne's arm and gave it a gentle, reassuring squeeze. While Mr. Spink was giving his evidence Mrs. Osborne's appearance of complete misery was.most touching. She tried hard to-control her feelings, but failed and ap peared to be fainting. A glass of water was hurriedly handed to her and she me chanically sipped a little of it- This re stored her a little, and the glass was taken out of her hand and placed upon a bench. Mrs. Hargreave saw that the glass was out of Mrs. Osborne's reach, and she leanud over and put it nearer to the dock so that Mrs. psborne could reach it." BEELIN ANAECHISTS ACTIVE. They Are Uivldcd Into Groups and Meet Unknown to the Police. Berlin, Feb. 12. The inquiry into the tatus of Berlin Anarchists' show s that they ,arc formed in 11 groups, numbering 254 pcr- sons in all, with connections throughout Germany.

Compatriots of Schwab, Parsons and ridd en Determined to Avenge the Xeres Executions A Reign ot Terror Citizens Arraia to Leave Tlusir Homes. Madrid, Feb. 12. A dispatch from Xeres says that the executions of anarchists which took place there on Wednesday has not had the effect of putting a stop to the anarchist agitation. Several bands of an archists have been marauding in the coun try close to Xeres, but yesterday detach ments of gendarmes were sent after them, whereupon they immediately took to flight. The gendarmes are determined to capture them if possible, and are still in pursuit. The inhabitants of Xeres have been thor oughly frightened by the attitude and threats of lawless characters in the town, and, not knowing at what moment another outbreak may occur, they are staying in their houses as much as possible. At 'J o'clock last nie-ht the streets, which at.that hour are usually bustling with life, were deserted. The casinos, cafes, shops and theaters were closed, and almost the only signs of life, aside from the police, were in iigntea windows ot the dwelling nouses. Anyone brave enougli to venture out was closely watched by the guardian's of athe city's peace. From Cadiz to-day comes the intelli gence that the police of that city have ar rested three Anarchists, who, when searched, were found to be armed with long, keen daggers. They had in their pos session n quantity of documents written in the usual fiery snarchistic style, calling upon the people to avenge the deaths of the four executed Anarchists, and to right the many wrongs which the working people suffer. THE ELECTBIC CONSOLIDATION. I egotiations Well Under Way, but Will Last About Two Months. Kev York, Feb. 12.

TRAPPERS OF MEN Capture Two Southern Specimons of the Honest Farmer Kind; MUCH MONEY FOR VERY LITTLE Expected by a Couple "iVh,o "lave Come to the Conclusion That MET HATENT ANY TOO MTJCII SENSE SrrctAt TZLEOKAM TO TnE DISPATCIt.l Nevt Yoke, Feb. 12. John W. Ecklar, who says he is ''the honestcst man in Mont gomery county, Ky" came East to get $3,000 of somebody else's money for $300 of his own. He kissed his wife and seven children goodby on Monday morning and tramped over the mountains to Mt. Ster ling, the nearest railway station. Here he took a train for Philadelphia, where he had made elaborate plans to meet a New Yorker named Cronin. He arrived in "Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, with his baggage in a small wood en box, his money in his boot, and a thick stick in his hand. He went to the Waverly House and got the clerk to register for him. Then he went to his room. Mr. Cronin was not there, because Detective Murray had got him. Later in the evening the detec tive called for Ecklar. When the detective entered his room, Ecklar shouted "rob bers" and shoved his bed up against the door. , An Attempt to G:t a Habeas Corpus. The two men were brought to New York this afternoon, because the green goods cir culars had been mailed trom this town. Cronin arrived under the name of llichard Clarkson. He had telegraphed his confed erate's, and one of them sat all the afternoon on the iron stairs of the Federal building, directly opposite the door to the Commis sioner's rooms. A lawyer had been hired and an unsuccessful eftbrt was made to se cure the release ot Clarkson on a writ of habeas corpus. It will be continued to-day. While the habeas corpus1 proceedings weie going on, the green goods man and the honestest manvin Montgomery county, Ky., sat in the marshal's office on the other side of the building. The green goods man en tertained the farmer by telling him what an awful place New York is. You iusfwalk along any street." he was saying when The Dispatch reporter en tere'dr "and- some one pulls a string, hole opens beneath you, and you disappear into tne river. "My, my," was all the astonished Ecklar could say. The Marshals had, beside Ecklar's $300, a remarkable shooting iron about four inches long. Ecklar said he made it himself. Little Gang for Hear Shooting.' "We 'uns use 'cm to shoot ba'rs with," he said. "We 'uns climb iuto the caves wha'r the ba'rs are in the winter, feel of thar body till we 'uns can hear the heart beat, then put the gun up .close and shoot 'em dead." Whether or not the bunko man believed this story was not ascertained. J. D. Delarch. another honest man, was before Justice McMahon in the Tombs court to-day. Delarch is a farmer from Georgia who paid $300 for what he supposed was $3,200. He was subsequently persuaded by Detective Carey, of the Church street station, that it was only $16. The officer arrested William McKey in Delarch's company at Liberty and West streets, as he was oilotinfr the farmer to the Liberty street ferry. Mackev I said in court this morning that he had nothing to do with.the green goods that Delarch had, and was only showing him how to get to Jersey City. He was re manded until to-morrow. Delarch, who looks greener than a greenback, and is 22 years old, told his story to an interested audience. The Same Old Story. "I run my dad's farm dotrn in Putnam county in Georgy," he said, "and for nigh on a year I bin gettin' printed notices fom some fellah up hyah whut wants to sell me money. Greenbacks is sca'ce down in Georgy, so I reckoned I'd come up hyah'n get some cheap. The fellah's name whut wrote the lettahs is W. D. Fox, 'n he Ttut qneah things about whar to address his let tahs at. I forget whut be said about it. When I came up hyah a fellah with black hair met me in Philadelphia an' come on hyah with me. Ho took me to someplace, I'don't know where, an' another fellah, who said he was Fox, knowed me the min ute I come in. Wan't that queah? He counted out some bills over $3,000 and put 'em on the table for me, an' I gave him $300. I asked hfm how c'd he afford to give me such a likely stacK ot money, an he said that was paht o" the biz, and he couldn't explain. Then I put the stuff in my satchel, an when I left the building I come out at the big postomce. Ihis tellow Mackeyroet me at there 'n I ahsked him to show me the way to the Jersey ferry, an he took me there. Then the policeman ar rested we 'uns and showed me that my money was only green paper. I wanted to go back an' lick that fellah, but I didn't know the way." Thinks He Hasn't Good Sense. "How did you think yon could get so much gdod money for so little?" asked Justice McMahon. "I reckon 'twas cause I ain't got good sense," replied the Southerner, mournfully. "The policeman said I was a dahn jay, an' I reckon he was right." When.Tlclarch was searched atthe station house, two big revolvers, loaded In every chamber, and a bowie knife were found on him. He said he was carrying the weapons to protect his money on the way home1 to Georgy. CAPTAIN JACOBS INDICTED. A Well-Known liiverman Charged With a Serious Offense in West Virginia.

PEOHIBITION UP IN IOWA. Killers of Doss Punished More Than As sassins of Prohibitionists. Des Moines, li'cb. 12. Another heated debate over prohibition took place in the Stnte Senate to-day.v The conflict began with a speech by Senator Scluiiitt, advo catingiis license bill. During the lively discussion ensuing, Senator Finn declared that the penalty for killing a man who en forced the prohibition law wa three months' imprisonment, while to kill a dog it was five.

SEASY FOB SUBMISSION Are the Conference lieports in tho ISeiinff Sea Commission Matter. Washington, D. C, Feb. 12. The -Bering sea joint commission has adjourned until to-morrow when it is expected that tto reports prepared by the representa- tivs of Great Britain and the United1 States will be submitted for consideration. It is expected that Lord Salisbury will act on the arbitration treaty next week, and that tho matter will then" be submitted to the Senate without delay. It is thought that the modus vivendi of last year wilt be re newed in time to anticipate the departure of the sealing fleet. The arbitrators will not be appointed until the treaty shall have been ratified. Hon. E. J. Phelps, ex-Misister to Eng land, has been selected na lending counsel for the United States before the tribunal, ana will iiavo two or three assistants. A MONUMENT TO GENEBAL SHEBHAN To Bo Erected by Subscriptions Raised by Grand Army Posts. Washington, Feb. 12. An appeal to the Grand Army of the Itepublic for con tributions to aid in the erection of a statue in Washington to the memory of General W. T. Sherman has been made by a commit tee appointed at the meeting of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee, October 8 and 9 last. The appeal concludes as fol lows: Wo request that every State Department Commander make a special appeal to his command, and wo ask every post to appeal to its own members and havo each one con tribute something, no matter If it is only 5or 10 cents. It is not the amount we look at; it is tlie fact that hen this statue is erected in Washington every soldier who sees it will feel that it is a part ot his effort. The following are tho members of the committee: General G. M. Dodge, Presi dent; Colonel J. F. Howe, Treasurer; Gen eral J. AY. Noble, Colonel D. B. Hender son, Major G. H. Heafford, Colonel W. Mc Crory, and Colonel Cornelius Cadle, Secre tary. ' THE GOVEBNMENT 'WAY AHEAD In tho Elections So Far Held In Canada Tor the Next Parliament. Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 12. ISptcidl.' The election of Ingram, Conservative, in East Elgin to-day to represent that constituency in the Dominion Parliament is the nine teenth election had since Parliament was prorogued September 29 last. Out of these elections 7 seats were held by Liberals and 12 by Conservatives last session. The Liberals have lost four seats and gained one, while not only has the Government gained three seats, but in almost every instance, with the exception of Halifax, the Government candidates have been returned bv largely increased majorities. There js no doubt that the ill luck that is attending the Liberal party is largely attributable to the almost insepara ble connection between Laurier and Mer rier that exists in the minds of a very large majority of the electorate. The disclosures of the methods resorted to by the Liberal party in provincial politics -in Quebec, the intimate connection nnd personal friendship that existed between Laurier and and Premier Mercier, has so closely asso ciated the names of the two political leaders, that for the sins of Mercier and Laurier the whole Liberal party of Canada has now to suffer. The indications are that instead of meet ing Parliament, next sessions, with a ma jority of 27, Premier Abbott will have at least 40. There is a strong effort being made to induce Hon. Edward Blake to re-enter Canadian politics, and there are not a few Liberals in Canada who would give a hearty support to a coalition Government with Blake and Sir John Thompson as the lead ing figures. NOT MUCH OF A STABT, In the Investigation of Boodle Charges in Ohio's Senatorial Straggle. Columbus, O., Feb. 72. Special. Ihe House committee on investigation of the charges against Representative Daugherty began its labor this afternoon. Mr. Daugherty expressed a desire that the ex amination be full and free, and he was not particular how lar-reaching it was. Henry Apthorpe, ex-Railroad Commissioner, was the first witness examined. He said he was one of the editors and directors of the Columbus Pott. Asked whether he had read the articles published in that paper charging Mr. Dangherty with being ollered and receiving $3,000 for his vote for Senator Sherman, he said he had read them, but knew .nothing about them prior to their publication. He had not authorized them, and did not know who had, but had heard Charles Q. Davis, the principal owner and manager of the paper, justify their publica tion and say they were true. Mr. Apthorpe, under further examina tion, stated he did not know anything as to the truth of the articles. Mr. Tiernan, whose name is signed to some of the articles, was not an employe of the paper, so far as the witness knew. The witness said he kne,w no fact or circumstance tending to show that MDaughetv was gnilty of the charges against him. D. K. Watson, at torney for Mr. Daugherty, was unable to be present, and an adjournment was had to next Tuesday. AT LATI SOME SPECIAL LOOK TO YOUR DOLLARS.

The attention of Dr. Walter Wyman, supervising sur geon of the Marine Hospital service, was to-day called to the outbreak of typhus fe ver icKew York-. To Tub DisrATCn re porter Dr. Wyman said: "The qnaralitine at New York is a State institution, in the management of which the Government has no part. The Marine Hospital service has charge of the medical examination of immigrants at other ports than atf Xew York, bnt at New York an exception is made, but the medical staff is under the immediate control of the Immigration iJureau, and no official of the marine hospital service is con nected therewith. With regard to the management of the cases of typhus fever, of conrse that devolves upon the local author ities, as in the case of other local epidemics. Tho Nation Ever Itoady. When, through want of proper State orJ local authority, or through want of sulli cient iunds, a request is made by the State authorities upon the National Government, ifis then that the marine hospitalservice en ters the field.as was recently done in Georgia, where an extensive epidemic of smallpox prevailed on Harris' eck, and on request of the Governor of the State this service took control, isolated the patients, erected temporary barracks and hospitals, vaccin ated the' community, and wiped out the epidemic, the last case repotted being about January 1.

Timely Information From Abroad. "This bureau has received a number of communications from the Consuls within the past few months, giving, notice cf the shipment of unwashed wool gathered! n the infected districts, and in each case notice has been sent to the health officer of the American port to which the vessel wa3 bound. It was only on the 9th instant that I received a communication from the Con sul at Hull, England, notifying me that a cargo of goatskins which had been gathered in Eastern Itussia, and which were suspected of being infected with the plague, was bound for the portof New York per steamer Colorado, which in formation I telegraphed at once to the quarantine officer at New York." Mr. Owen, Chief of the Immigration Bureau, said that the matter had not vet been reported to the bureau by the local commissioners. He could hot. therefore, know what steps, if anv, would be taken to prevent a spread of "the disease. Mr. Owen added, however, that he felt entirely confident that the New Y'ork authorities would do what ever is necessary.
