tFROM A STATF COBBESPOJTDEST.'l
Minneapolis, Feb. 13. This is called
the "Flour City." It might be more ap
propriately termed just now the City of
Great Expectations. Thirty thousand
wooden cottages, each exclusive in its
square of lawn; two clumps of ponderous
mills on the rugged banks of a picturesque
and deeply beddtd river; half a dozen mam
moth office buildings of somber stons rising
skyward with metropolitan dignity; one
great hotel of horrible facade this is the
first impression of Minneapolis, roughly
sketched. The rest is common-place. All
in all, we havs here a striking picture of
amalgamated American Life. It is doubt
lul whether such a remarkable assemblage
of physical incongruities can be found in
anv other part of the world.
Sitting in the rotunda of the "West hotel
a marb' ed space in hich two lull-rigged
tallyho coaches might turn at once without
inconvenience you may easily imagine
yourself in the heart of a wealthy metropo
lis of a couple of million inhabitants. Take
a turn 'round the block, and as far as the
eye can reach you see the simple cottages of
a thousand "Western villages, divided np
into parallelograms and triangles of russet
colored woCd by broad, level, straightaway,
well-paved and well-shaded streets.
A City of Striking Contnwta.
In one of Ihese giant office buildings you
might readily fancy yourself in lower New
Tork and that you hear the roar of business
life arising trom the crowded street far be
low. The same style and grandeur of ap
pointments greet you everywhere within.
Descend to the street and you find the bus
iness center otherwise an array of dingy
village stores. The very contrast makes
them look (mailer and meaner and more
dingy than they really are. These business
streets have apparently never been cleaned
and on electric car routes are badly disfig
ured below and above by iron poles and
trolley wires.
The same incongruity is conspicuous
among the people. There are a handful of
citizens who overshadow in -wealth the
many, just as the few immense structures of
stone and. steel look down upon the square
miles of humble jig-sawed wood. The stone
palaces of these millionaires dot the muni
UpA horizon here and there like big, rich,

ou meet gentlemen of evident culture and
of appearance suitable to the atmosphere of
te New York Stock Exchange. You see
htudreds of rourh lumbermen, street car
direr, police and loungers of every degree
in big oercoats of -nild animal skins, and
wrier the thick caps and slouched hats are
the prevailing stolid faces of the hardy
Scandinavian race.
Hiding a Donkey Into a Hotel.
Tie nrst sight I beheld after registering
in ths magnificent hotel was the entrance
of aUut fitly of this curious mixture of
humility, touting and yelling like so
manylndians. One of them rode a shaggy
and diircputable donkey. The whole crowd
entereothc rotunda and followed the don
key anc his rider to the clerk's desk. They
were tht remnants of the lumbermen's con
vention just closed and the rider of the
donkey wis the secretary of the convention.
He dismo&itcd at the desk and standing on
the stone ounter read a whole string of
resolutionsulotirmgeTerything and every
body including the donkey elicited a ser
ies of whoo and cheers from the crowd
and the convtntion adjourned sine die, then
and there. It was almost worth a trip of
1,000 miles to iee.
Another contention is to be held here in
the early summer. How the National Re
publican Convention came to be captured
by Minneapolis, a great many disgusted
people will thea wish to know. Perhaps
a few powerful Eastern corporations who
have large int estments in these half-empty
office buildings and who own large unim
proved tracts of suburban lands and hold
mortgages on a considerable share of tne
impro ed property as well as on the Re
publican party, could best enlighten them.
A Truth That "Was Not Admitted.
It is one of the political phenomena of the
times this subordination of a grand polit
ical organization to the selfish financial pur
poses of a clique of corporate interests, but
phenomenal only in the innocent submis
sion of the great body of that party to this
stvle of raising the wind. If the controlling
wing of the Republican National Committee
had said: "Here, gentlemen, these people
have always put up liberally for campaign
purposes they will do so again. Now,
thev have large business interest in a big,
overbuilt, mushroom city in the Northwest
and want us to help them boom the town.
Thcv want their money back. Let us vote
for Minneapolis." If the committee had
said that it would have told the truth, but
this truth would have caused hard feelings.
For there are other cities and other busi
ness interests in which many good Repub
licans have investments and uhich they j
would like to have boomed. They, too
want their money back. So we must not
expect to have such a frank admission.
Minneapolis is a beautiful city in June.
It hag many lovely homes. Its people are
fertile of fancy, positive, energetic and en
terprising, and stand together heart and
soul for local interests. Thewl unques
tionably throw open their doors, public and
private for the accommodation and enter,
tainment of their convention visitors, and
receive them with a kind of hospitality un
known In the older and more substantial
cities of the Atlantic seaboard.
Cempmeetlng Methods to Be Adopted.
The local enthusiasm exceeds even that of
hustling, sejf-important, garrulous Chicago.
It is the home pride and hospitality of a
"Western village invaded "by a Methodist
Conference. You hear the greatest amount
of gush hero of this tenor. They talk of
meeting 75,000 to 100,000 visitors at the
trains and grasping them by the hand indi
vidually, taking the strangers into their
quiet horned. That is what is whispered in
my ears every place I go. The managers
have a gigantic scheme by which they are to
intercept people on the trains with private
invitations of this kind.
The New England residents are to invite
New Englanders, Buckeyes are to receive
the visiting sons of Ohio, Pennsylvanians
are to extend the light hand of fellowship
to citizens of the Keystone State and so on.
There is a campmeeting sound about all
this that, applied to a national political con
vention, has a faint touch of humor.
Now, as to the actual facts. The real ac
commodations in Minneapolis for visitors
and by "accommodations" I here mean
such as are extended to visitors at a
National Convention inChicago, where every
room is made to do double, triple and
quadruple duty are limited in capacity to
about 5,000 people.
Can Accommodate the Regulars.
This will cover the delegates, alternates,
newspaper men and important political per
sonages from the various States of the
Union. This 5,000 "practically represents
only the convention proper the strictly
official list. To accomplish even this much
the hotels must be jammed and the large
office buildings must be emptied of their
regular tenants. Three or four of these
great edifices are but little more than half
occupied anyhow, the town being greatly
overbuilt
As far as they go they will offer first-class
quarters for those who are to occupy them.
I have been through every one of them per
sonally, and think it is not an exaggeration
to say that there are some 400 first-class,
bang-up offices here awaiting the growth of
the Citv of Great Expectations. With the
Masonic Temple, the offices that will be
temporarily vacated by patriotic occupants
and these already empty places perhaps an
equivalent for 600 rooms are available. Add
to these the entire surplus hotel accommo
dations'of about 600 more and you will have
the rather extravagant estimate of 1,200
rooms. "With an average of four or five
gnests to a room this will "accommodate"
the official fraction of ths people who are
expected.
The Difficulty or Feeding Visitors.
From my observation this is a broadly
liberal estimate. This refers to sleeping
and working accommodations alone. "Where
are they to be fed? The Great West Hotel,
with its subsidized annexes, is expected to
care for a couple of thousand guests. It
has dining room accommodations for about
500. squeezed. I am told that the kitchen
facilities are excellent, but the culinary ca
pacity of a hotel is usually only equal to
its most extended bedroom accommodations.
It is more Apt to fall below that than to go
above ifa If the West expects to feed 2,000
gnests daily a considerable, number of them'
will go without food or wait a long time for
it It would take three or four hours to
give that many people dinner alone.
There are two large restaurants outside of
this establishment one at the top of a
mammoth office building. One of these will
seat possiblv 300 people at time. How sat
isfactorily they can be served is something
I know nothing about There are bnt two
small elevators to reach this restaurant, and
these would probably decide how many
people can be accommodated there. The
other restaurant is on the ground floor in a
central locality, and will be good to handle
as many persons. All of the qjher public
places of serving meals will not together
cover more than one of these.
Kvery Citizen Is a Committeeman.
From this it will be seen that the exist
ing feeding facilities will just about equal
the stoning away or sleeping capacity
both stretched to the utmost and alto
gether this will be to accommodate the
members of the convention proper about
5,000 persons. If Minneapolis people were
like the New Yorkers, or Chicagoans, or the
citizens of large cities, where the visitor is
expected to take care of himself, "root, hog,
or die," this would be a sorry outlook for
those who expect to be here next June. But
they are not They are in one respect vil
lagers. They have not reached the het
ropolitan spirit of first-come-first-served
and devil-take-thc-Hindmost
The whole city seems to have organized
itself into a general committee of entertain
ment, and to have surrendered all individ
ual and private rights into the hands of ex
ecutive committees of the most respected
and enterprising citizens. These commit
tees are doing what could scarcely be done
elsewhere, and was never attempted in Chi
cago. They have taken charee of the entire
surplus accommodations of the city, hotels,
restaurants, private boarding houses and
office buildings, and having made a registrv
of the whole are apportioning the sunnlv to
the people who, in their judgment, are most"
entitlea to tnem Dy reason ol their politi
cal importance to the occasion.
New York Got Hair It Wanted.
When Mr. Dwight Lawrence, of New
York, came here and wanted 80 of the best
rooms at the West he was astonished to be
referred to a committee. The proprietor
had patriotically surrendered all rights.
The committee adjusted the chums of New
York by giving that delegation about half
of what it wanted and with a view to the
rights of other States. Of course, every
delegation wants to be quartered at the
West Thirty-two States have, been heard
from thus far and have gone or are going
through the same process of paring down
down that the New York representatives
have gone through. The distinguished
guests have been provided for at the West
Perhaps the newspaper people will be
pleased with the Minneapolis management,
so far as their personal comfort and the fa
cilities for doing their worr are concerned,
than any other class connected with the
convention. As the whole thing is a gi
gantic advertising scheme on the part of
promoters of the city interests the utmost
efforts will be made to leave the very best
impressions upon the medium of public in
formation. "We intend that 'the newspaper
correspondents shall be not only satisfied,"
said Senator G. A. Pierce, editor of the
Tribune and Chairman of the Press Com
mittee, to me, "but that they shall go away
from here sounding our praises and drawing
favorable comparisons at every convention
they may attend."
Newspaper Men "Will Faro Welt
The Press Club has held two meetings
during my.visit If the programme" laid
down (not yet given to the public) is ad
hered to I feel justified in warmly commend
ing it, and addingthat it is likely toplease
those representatives of the great journals
who come here for hard and intelligent
work. The committee has set aside thenew
building of the New York Life Insurance
Companv for the sole occupaucv and use of
the foreign correspondents. This building
is the finest in the city. It has about 140
vacant office rooms finished in the highest
metropolitan style. Many of these are
large where a" hundred reporters might
Work to advantage. AH are provided vnth
stationnry wash stands and electric lights,
hare dark stained polished hard wood
floors. There are Your fait elevators. They
srill b furnished with new three-quarter
beds and new bedding, just as any first-class
hotel. A special restaurant will be opened
in the. basement for those newspaper men
alone who have credentials to seats onthe
floor of the convention. There Is a slight
hitch vet as to the restaurant, owing to the
unwillingness of-the company, but I am as
sured that this wille overcome.
Inside Tips on Town Lots.
The building is centrally located and the
telegraph companies will have special mes
sengers for filing matter direct frotn the
building. The cost to eaoh person will be
nominal compared with what correspondents
are usually subjected to, and with the ac
commodations furnished. Every news
paper man will be privately given an op- J
puriumiy to invest in idwu iuw " uww
figures.
I wish I could speak as enthusiastically
of the telegraphic facilities. In an inter
view with the Western Union Superintend
ent, Mr. McMichaeh I am informed that
this company will be fully prepared to nse
what facilities they have, though these are
limited by the number of wires. There
will be 17 sending circuitc by the day, and
25 by night, utilizing all resources. Forty
Chicago operators accustomed to handling
press matter will supplement the local force.
This will include the Associated Press.
These operators do not use the Phillips
code, but send straight matter. More or
less of this matter, the Superintendent ad
mits, must be relayed at Chicago. "When
we get the stuff into Chicago' he says, "wo
will be all right"
The Telegraph Facilities Are Poor.
The American-Postal Telegraph Company
will be able to handle about half, at a lib
eral estimate, as mnch matter as sent by the
Western Union., Bnt a considerable amount
of this must also be relayed at Chicago.
There will be 25 messengers at the Exposi
tion building, and, it is claimed, sufficient
wires and operators there to handle bulle
tins, private dispatches and such press
matter as is likely to be sent from there.
Now as to the general visiting public. It
must not be supposed that the accommoda
tions specifically enumerated above ex
hausts the capacity of Minneapolis. I have
been dealing with the official outlook. The
committee have decided upon the issuance
of a coupon book similar to a check book,
which coupons are consecutively; numbered
to correspond with their registry book.
"The private citizen who writes for a room
will be entered upon these cneccs, wnicn
also contains the number of the house, name
of landlord or hostess, rate per day, the
number of gnests that can be entertained,
together with direction for reaching the
place from the railway station. The most
certain way to get this sort of a resting
place is to write the Hotel Committee in
closing a retainer and describing character
of accommodations required. The check
contract will then be forwarded and .the
visitor is all right
Not Boom Enough in the City.
My own opinion is, after carefnl inquiry,
that possibly 10,000 people can be thus com
fortably and in some instances luxuriously
accommodated. The preference of the visi
tor for New England, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Illinois or other surroundings will be duly
honored, in the old-fashioned campmeeting,
Methodist-conference style.
Outside of Minneapolis the majority of the
visiting public and delegations and clubs
must be boused and fed. This is the way
they figure it out The great hotel at Lake
Minn e tonka, aNorthwestern watering plaoe
will be opened and will furnish beyond
donbt fair accommodations for two or three
thousand people. This is ten miles away,
but there is a double track road and the trip
is about half an hour. The facilitr for get
ting back and forth will depend wholly.
upon the railway management. Xhe laifly-ette-HoteLaHllnntonka
is a large one and
can probably alone comfortably accommo
date 2,000 guests. In early June' days the
resort is beautiful and it is then just too
early for the usual watering place people.
On the other hand is St Paul, in hotel ac
commodations perhaps superior to Minne
apolis. It is a lovely city and will -probably
attract as many people as can be accommo
dated by two railways. This is ten miles
also, and the schedule time on the train I
took was half an hour.
A Resume or Investigations.
Summing up we have the full capacity of
Minneapolis 15,000 people, St Paul lOlOOO
andMinnetonka 5,000 a total of 30,000 peo-J

ment it seems probable that this number
can be taken care of with some degree of
satisfaction. If any more people come here
well, they'll wish they hadn't Of course
the managers and boomers declare that they
can accommodate twice as many and expect
to do it
The street car service of Minneapolis is
not in it They have good electric rail
ways, but these seem barely sufficient for
the ordinary daily demands of the resident
public To reach the convention hall
you'll have to walk. The building is on
the other side of the river, accessible only
by a single line of cars. It is a smart 15
minutes' walk from the West Hotel. I
tried it. Many -people will have to walk a
mile or more. The City of Great Expecta
tions is also a city of magnificent distances.
The fJonvention Hall at the Exposition
building is not yet arranged, but with the
architect and the assistance of the plans, I"
got a pretty clear idea of what the arrange
ment would be. If these plans are carried
out there will be a main floor almost square
with seats for delegates and alternates on
the level. From this space, the seats rise in
ampitheatef form on three sides, the 40-foot
square stage occupying' the fourth side with
rising seats at the back. The press seats are
on either side of the stage and in the front
rows on the sides of the main floor.
Will Not inlt the Correspondents.
As some of the press seats -will be con
siderably in the rear of the Chairman, and
many more to the right and left of the hall,
there will doubtless be some pretty active
kicking on this score. The architect says
Colonel Clarkson would not allow the press
seats in front' of the Chairman's deskj but
that the Associated Press agent at Chicago
had been sent for, and that there might yet
be a modification of the present plans in
this respect The seating capacity on the
main floor with side seats is said to be 9,000.
The gallery above is to scat 3,000 a total of
12,000 persons. The acoustic properties of
the hall thus arranged are claimed to be
such that an ordinary.tone of voice on tne
stage will reach the farthest occupant
Behind the stage are ample committee
rooms, and in the corner of the building on
the main floor, within easy Teach, is a large
restaurant which will contribute its share of
relieving the temporary wants of the inner
man. The rising sections of seats on the
sides of the main floor are accessible by tun
nel passages, so there need be no confusion
in the seating or getting out This hall is
mnch better for the purpose, designed than
the old Exposition building at Chicago, and
will seat satisfactorily a mnch larger crowd,
with the mental reservation "if."

OUT OF A GERMAN PSIS0N.
A. Little Girl's Letter Touches the Young
Emperor's Heart.
Atciiisox, Kan., Feb. J.3. Special
Bernard 'Schmitz, a well-to-do Atchison
county farmer, went to Germany last fall to
visit rejatives, after an absence of nearly
20 years. Upon his arrival there he was
arrested and imprisoned for desertion from
the German army; He was sentenced for
six months, ,buf has been released, and is
now on his way back to America.
His release was brought abont by his 11-year-old
daughter, who wrote to the
Emperor froru'lier far-away home in Kansas,
and in a childish way asked for the pardon
of her father on his "birthday, the 28th of
last month. The Emperor received the
letter on the 27th of January, and im

IN GOLDEIGLORIES.
The Northern Sky Was
Painted Last Night hy
an Aurora Borealis.
HALF THE CONTINENT
Lit Up by the Shimmering Arms of
Bapidly Changing Colore,
TELEGRAPH WIRES MADE USELESS
Scientists Attribute the Phenomena to the
Spot on the San.
FIE1MENTDESED0OT IN MANT CITIES
Shortly after 7 o'clock last night Pitts
burg people discovered an aurora borealis,
and a half hour -later the city was in up
stairs windows and en northern porches,
looking at the strange phenomenon.
Only the younger children had
forgotten the Northern Lights of
nine years ago, and the one last
night suffered greatly by comparison.
At that time the whole sky was lighted to
almost noonday brilliancy, and the air be
came so heavily charged with electricity
that telegraph wires were worked with
difficulty. Last night the display of nature
was magnificently beautiful, bnt was con
fined to the extreme northern sky.
On Mt Washington and at other points
above the smoke of the city, the scene could
be better observed, and attracted many
from their down town homes. The lurid
red lights never ceased their upward flight,
only trembling in the air to indicate that
they were not sky rockets within a stone's
throwaof the observer.
What local Astronomers Say.
A number bf local astronomers were seen
last night, but none of them knew anything
further than that the Aurora Borealis had
appeared, that it was as beautiful as ever
and might last a night or a week of nights.
The recent sun spot has reawakened the be
lief that there is some connection of sun
spots and the Aurora .Borealis. The theory
has never been generally believed, but has
always had many supporters. The conjunc
tion of Jupiter and Venus, the. sun spot and
now the Aurora Borealis will, of course, be
subjects for comment until ssthingelse
appears to interest astrologer out Pitts
burg astronomers generally accept the
occurrence as coming nnder nature s laws
without indicating any calamities.
It was the most wonderful exhibition of
the Northern Lights seen, probably, in a
century in America. As soon as the wires
got into working order, telegrams describ
ing the phenomenon began coming to The
Dispatch from all directions. It was wit
nessed all the way between Iowa and
Maine. Milwaukee reports seeing it, but
nothing unusual was observed at St Paul
or Minneapolis. Memphis and St Louis
werJuotlycied,but at-"Cineinnntl-it was
at'finCttiought the -cityj Tjf Hamilton, 23
miles' north, waon fire.
An Ann Arbor Scientist's Opinion.-
The magnificent spectacle was scientific
ally observed at the University of Michigan
in Ann Arbor. Astronomical Director
Hussey, of that institution, wires the result
as follows: "The brilliant rose red aurora
visible to-night was not altogether unex
pected. In a general way auroras have been
predicted for about this time. To-night's
display naturallyfollows the appearance of
the great sun spot which has been visible
during the past week. Other auroral dis
plays may be expected in the near future."
The Associated Press correspondent at
Lyons, Iowa, fives a typical description as
tollows: "Jirom east to west tne northern
sky here was illuminated by an immense
half circle flaming upward nearly to the
zenith. At first almost blood red, it dimmed
at times to delicate pink and would brighten
suddenly. The circle was shot with rays of
almost white lights, all pointed outward
from the circle. The weather had been very
warm throughout the day, but after the
aurora rapidly grew colder."
Reports from Philadelphia and Cleveland
say the lights were particularly brilliant
there. The oldest residents of Salem, O.,
say they never saw its equal.
The Telegraph Wires Disturbed.
The disturbance bothered the telegraph
operators, as' it invariably does. While the
luminous appearance lasted great waves
of electricity struck the wires and upset the
equilibrium" of the batteries which charged
them for telegraphic service. The waves
directed Jay intermittent currents wobbled
along tho lines; closing circuits here and
there and making the Morse signaling al
most indistinguishable by the most ex
perienced operators.
The disturbance had the same effect as a
thnnder storm, without the danger. There
were no shocks and no circuits were burned
ont, but the wires were overcharged, and
there was no certainty as to the accuracy of
the messages sent or .received. Mr. J. C.
Robinson, of the Western Union office at
New York, said that the -disturbance was
the most pronounced since the fall of 1882,
when almost nightly for three weeks the
operators found it nearly impossible to con
trol their signaling.
Messases Sent Wicliont a Battery.
The wires were so fully charged to-night
that the terminals in New York were
grounded, and messages were sent without
the battery. The current vas jerky, how
ever, and the effect not satisfactory. Some
times it was too strong, and then at other
times it seemed to fade away. The great
est disturbance was felt when the light was
beginning to wane. Then all the wires
Vere overcharged and difficult to handle.
For nearly two hours it was almost impos
sible to transact the ordinary business with
any degree of exactness. The leased wires
of The Dispatch were interfered with
and 'rendered almost useless for over an
hour. r
The last great general display that
rivalled that of last night was in Apn'1,1882.
A sun spot of unusual size had developed
at that time and.it reached its period of
greatest activity on the night 'of the 17th,
when the Northern Lights blazed np. When
the sun went down that night observers
noted that the spot on its face was in furi
ous turmoil.
The Atlantic Cables Stopped.
While the aurora lasted the Atlantic
cable ceased to work and other telegraph
lines were interfered with. Later in 1882,
in November, there was another active sun
spot, and there was an aurora of great
beauty. The great disturbance that is vis
ible on. the sun's surface now covers alto
gether twelve thousand million square
miles. It seems to be passing away, and
perhaps last night's northern streamers were
the tokens of its dissolution. If not, it is
quite possible that we may have a succession
of these brilliant winter night pyrotechnics.
The reports from various cities are inter
esting. At Woburn, Mass., the firemen
were called out by an alarm. Mistaking
the lights for a fire they posted off in a north
ern direction, but discovered their error
presently and -turned back. At Boston
thousands watched the beautiful sight,
which has never before been seen by the '
present generation. While the aurora was'

at its height the fall moon rose, but the
rays were "paled by the magnificent light
that waved and trembled, paling and
again flushing with the vividness and crim-
l son of dawning day. Such vivid coloring
naa never been wltnessea in boston, al
though the northernights are of compara
tively common occurrence there. Lexing

witnessed since the gTeat electric storm of

partment was called out.
AY STREAMERS OF LIGHT
Which Held New Workers Spellbound
Bow the Heavens looked The View
From the Eqnltablo Unildine How the
Delicate Glories Faded Away.
NEW yortK, Feb. 13. Special The
most brilliant aurora borealis that has been
seen in the skies of this latitude since 1882,
lighted up the northern heavens for
nearly an hour to-night It appeared
a little after 7 o'clock. The air
wrung dry by a western wind that had the
thermometer, down to 22 degrees was per
fectly clear. The full moon was just rising
abdye the house tops and the stars shone
sharp and clear. Jupiter and Venus blazed
across at the moon from the west, Saturn
looked down from overhead, and Orion's
belt and the big Dog Star hung opposite the
North Star.
Suddenly, above the houses, a broad beam
of red ligHt, like the glare of a fire, shot up
in the northwest until it eclipsed the little
dipper. Besides the bright shaft was ablack
one as if pf smoke. For what seemed a long
time the ashes-of-roses-colored light held
its steafy blaze, then it wavered, shook as a
great crirjain might, and in the folds bright
shafts cf white lights shot np, the black
shadow disappeared, and the red burst up
from all the north and streamed and flared
into a fan of fire, the rim of which touched
the north star.
" Those persons who were out of doors in
thia, city forgot the cutting wind, and,
bonnd by its beauty, gave themselves up to
watching the display. Many mistook it at
first for a big fire, bnt not tor long. Some
followed it to the river side. These and
passengers on the bridge and ferries and
those who sought housetops saw the show at
its best
Forecaster Dunn's assistants on top of the
Equitable building saw the fiery fan in all
its beauty, and beneath it a luminous cloud
of green light from which it grew. The
green cloud center on the horizon was like
a quartered moon, its center directly be
neath the north star, and it reached along
the horizon 20 or 25 and upward 10.
Along the horizon.it was almost black, bnt
as it reached into the air it got soft and
shimmerv and brighter and arched and
tipped like a sunset summer cloud.
At 7:45 the disply was at its best Its
fading ras, however, almost as interesting
as the beginning. The pink lights changed
to lighter shafts, these grew shorter and
faded into the cloud-like center, and then in
place of them a full arch of white light grew
across the sky from east to west, hung
shining-there for a few moments, as steam
trails from a locomotive, then faded, and
the aurora was no more.

A MACHINE TO MAKE LIQHTKTffO
The Invention of Prof. Slihn Thomson, the
Electrician of Iirnn.
Lynn, Mass., Feb. IS Special Pro
Elihu Thomson, the eminent Lynn electri
cian, claims to have discovered the knack of
making lightning. In a few days the scien
tific and electrical journals will publish full
details, with accompanying figures, regard
ing Prof. Thomson's latest discovery,-
which might well i be en
titled a machine for making
lightning. The invention is at present of
more scientific than practical interest, al
though there will be plenty of practical
uses for it eventually. In brief, the pro
fessor has succeeded by very simple means
in securing extremely high potential dis
charges. In the arc electric lamp the car
bons are perhaps three-eighths of an inch
apart, and in a search light a little farther.
The flame, when they are separated, acts as
a conductor.
In Prof. Thomson's new machine, how
ever, the distance is eight inches, and of
course no name could leap so far. The re
sult is that torrents of sparks are thrown off,
with no interruptions, with a report like
the rattle of a Gatling gun or a case of com
mon crackers. The strength of the dis
charge appears to be only limited by the
size of the machine. It has been suggested
to the profe'ssor that he form a partnership
with Pref. Dyrenforth, and that the firm
furnish thunderstorms to order. He, how
ever, is skeptical regarding the rain ma
chine as a practical invention, and does not'
want to co so.
THE BEADING DEAL IS LEGAL.
Congress Hay Do Somethinp, but the Inter
State Commission Won't Interfere.
Washington, D. O., Feb. 13. Lawyers
here say it will probably not be difficult to
find the necessary power to' investigate the
Beading deal, but there is no ground for the
belief that the Inter-State Commerce Com
mission will interfere. Commissioner
Morrison said this morning there is not the
slightest probability that the commission
will have anything to say about it He
continued :
Nothing in the mere fact of a consolidation
of Inter-State railroads, to whatever extent
you choose. Implies any conflict with the
law which this commission was created to
execute. Its requirements and prohibitions
could Just as well be Uvea up to if all the
railroads In the country were consolidated
under one board of directors. There
might be motives In such a
consolidation as tho Beading's which
would contemplate violations of the
law, hut they would be merely an accident
to the proposition of consolidation. We
know of no such motives on the part of the
men who have made this particular combin
ation. A number of members of Congress are in
favor of an investigation, and Bepresenta
tive Stout, of Michigan, has already intro
dnced a resolution providing for such an in
quiry.

SrECtAL TILEGnAM TO THE DISPATCH-I
SAN Feancisco, Feb. 13. Sarah Al
thea Terry, who gained such notoriety by,
her divorce suit against ex-Senator Sharon
and her subsequent marriage with Judge
Terry, has become insane over spiritualism.
She has been' very eccentric ever since
Terry was shot dead by Officer Neagle at
Lathrop eating station, the moment after he
slapped Justice Field's face.
The fact that the Court held Neagle
blameless drove her nearly insane, and this
feeling was aggravated by troubles which
she had with her attorney in Fresno. She
claimed this attorney made love to her, anU
she prodoced se'veral amatory letters he had
written. This enraged him, and when she
called at his office to get her law papers he
brutally ejected her. To the disgrace of
Fresno'courts, they held his action was jus
tifiable. Mrs. Terry, about three months ago, came
to this city and bought some articles at Qry
goods stores. She claimed a few days later
that her trunk hid been robbed in the lodg
ing house where she hired a room, and she
enumerated silks and satins worth $7,000
that had disappeared.
Idtborinc Under ,Tremendons Eicitement.
Her case was thrown ont of court, and she
was not hsard from again until Thursday,
when she came here from Stockton. She was
placed by a friend 'in the house of Editor
Culbrsth, of the City Argus, and a nurse was
hired to care for her, as she seemed laboring
under tremendous excitement. She has now
been two days in her room, attended by Dr
Gilmore. The doctor says it is a clear gase
of dementia due to worry over her affairs
ana dabbling in spiritualism. .
She sits for hours in one place, with her
pocket handkerchief rolled up and placed to
her ear like the holder of a telephone. She
says she gets all kinds of messages through
this handkerchief from her friends in Spint
land, and she handed her handkerchief to
The Dispatch reporter who saw her, and
asked him if he did not hear whispers com
ing through it She looks very old and
haggard, and her pale face is flushed with
foyer. Her pulse runs high, but she seems
insensible to heat or cold.
Xond Calls for Two aten.
At nightjsbe'beertuies very, violent and
calls'loudTyTbr Judge Terry and for "Porter
Ashe, whom she says sho loves dearly. He
is a young fellow' whose father ,was a bosom,
friend of Terry in their oarly dTS, and who
was arrested and fined by a Vigilance Com
mittee for opposing them. Porter Ashe
married Amy Croker, bnt she secured a
divorce after much scandal. He is well
known on the turf, and he is the owner of
Geraldine and other fast horses. He be
friended Mrs. Terry after the shooting of
her husband, and is about the only one of
Terry's old friends who has not been able
to endure her caprices.
She also calls for Morgan Hill, her
brother, who lives at San Mateo. Her
uncle, who is in the city, refuses to make an
application to nave her committed to
asylum. As yet she has shown no tendency
to violence, but the doctor fears her mania
will increase. Last night she escaped for
a moment from her nurse, and was found
promenading the front veranda with no
covering except along sealskin cloak. ,
Investigation has shown that during her
lost visit to this city she haunted the rooms
of several spiritualist -mediums, and spent
there all the money she had trying to get
light on her law case and advice from the
spirit of Judge Terry.
A Physical and Mental Wreck.
The poor woman is a physical and mental
wreck, although she is not over 40 years
old. She has only a remnant of property
left, Judge Terry's estate having been
heavily mortgaged and badly managed.
When the Sharon divorce began, in March,
1884, she was a remarkably handsome
woman, and since then she has been almost
constantly before the public. She never got
a cent from the Sharon estate, and abont six
months ago the last of her appeals was de
nied bythe Federal Court.
Nearly everyone who played a conspicu
ous part in this famous case is dead or
broken in fortune, due directly to some out
growth of the case. Sharon died years be
fore his time, awing to worry over the case;
Terry was shot through litigation over the
case; General Barnes, Sharon's leading
counsel, lost a fine practice because of hhi
devotion to the suit, and his mismanage
ment of the case hurt his prestige; Sarah's
leading counsel, Judge Tyler, was disbarred
because of crooked work done in the trial;
several of the witnesses in the case were
convicted of perjury, and two were sent to
San Quentin; Judge Sullivan, who de
livered the decision granting Sarah ali
mony and half the Sharon estate, has tried
twice to get on the Supreme Bench, but
each time Sharon influence has beaten him,
and he is now a practicing lawyer. Now
Sarah herself winds up the procession a
total wreck.

A LIBEEAL PBESBYTEEIAH PAPEE
To Be Conducted fn Cleveland With Prof.
James Craig in Charge.
Cleveland, O., Feb. 13. Spedal
Several weeks ago a number of clergymen
and laymen of the Presbyterian Church met
here and resolved to establish a new Presby
terian newspaper, in which the liberal
views which have sprung up in the denom
ination can find utterance, and the first copy
will soon appear. A good portion of the
(SO'OOO capital has been subscribed. No

A
aSs5ft.j!CA'itsiti?'-' 3Z$&i&tiB
Prof. Briggs and what he represents in the
Presbyterian Church bjen more marked than
in Illinois and Ohio. The leading Presby
terian organsof Cincinnati and Chicago have
opposed his views from the first.
A very large number of Presbyterians in
this section are in sympathy with these de
fenders in the old orthodoxy, if the vote
against Dr. Briggs in the last General As
sembly can be taken as a criterion. There
are many Influential Presbyterian minis
ters, however, who have protested vigor
ously at what they term the narrowness of
their denominational newspaper. Dr. H.
C Hayn, pastor of the "First Presbyterian
Church of Cleveland, said what was needed
was a liberal editor, who could tolerate
opinions in others. Prof. James A. Craig,
of Oberlin TJ.iiversity, will be the working
editor.

Kew Yobk, Feb. 13. Special News
has been received from Zanzibar that Emin
Pasha was greeted with the utmost demon
stration of delight by his old soldiers
who were left behind him when he aban
doned his province on the Nile. Several
hundred of them heard that he was coming,
and they jr-nt south from Albert Nyanza to

anza, Recent news from Omrlnrman con
firms the return of Emin to JJfadelai. It is
thought in Omdurman that Emin will be
able to re-establish his arithority in his old
province, but it is not believed he will at
tempt to push far northward.
The plans of the British East Africa Com
pany are coming to light. The Loudon
Times announces that news .may come any
day that Captain Lugard, who placed Ugan
da under British protection, has taken pos
session of AVadelai on behalf oft he British
East Africa Company. The Times says that
Emin is in his own old territory sitnplv as
a private individual. As a German official
he is quite ont of his beat. If Emin be
haves loyally, there need be no trouble. If
not, no doubt Cantain Lugard will prove
himself equal to the situation.
It is evident, therefore, that Captain
Lugard hopes to make nse of Emin's influ
ence in the country, to firmlv establish
British authority there. If Emin will
work with him to this end they will get
along well together, and Emin would un
doubtedly receive a handsome salary from
the British Company, but the latter will
not tolerate any attempt on Emin's part to
assert any alleged rights as ruler of the
country.

ITVE OENTS
AN EPIDEMIC SCARE
.
Caused by the Arrival of
Typhus-Stricken Eussian
Immigrants.
PITTSBUEG 'GETS EIGHT
Of the Infected Passengers, According
to New York's Advices.
MUCH ALAEM IN THE METROPOLIS.
Interior Towns of the Empire State llresdj
Affected, Too.
LOCAL HEALTH ADTHOEITIES ALERT
Eight immigrants who came to America
on an epidemic-infected ship are somewhere
in Pittsburg, at least that is the intelli
gence telegraphed from 'Sew York to this
city Ia3t night The vessel in question is
the 3essilia and it reached Hew York har
boron January 30, and the disease is typhus.
The Messiliahadon board 717 immigrants,
Italians and Russian Hebrews. The 450
Italians were taken aboard at Xaples. The
267 Russian Hebrews had gathered at Odessa
from all parts of Southern Bussia. A few
days ago the Hew York Board of Health
found that an epidemic of typhus fever,
known under a dozen names as one of the
most terrible feversthat can visitthe human
body, and communicating itself by conta
gion as well as by infection, was raging
among them. Fifty-seven of them, already
down with typhus in its marked symptoms,
have been taken tcf the hospital on North
Brother Island, and the Board of Health is
doing all in its power to stay the iurther
spread of the disease, hut it is feared that
preventive measures are already to late.
For several weeks now typhu3 fever, un
der the name of famine or hunger fever, has
been spreading in Odessa and in the famine
stricken provinces from which the Hebrews
have been fleeing to Odessa. Stories of suf- .
ferings and the deaths it has caused have
been coming here over the cables.
They Are Scattered Over tho Country.
The following dispatch was received from
New York last evening: Of the passengers
who came over in the typhus infected
steamer Missilia it is learned that 12 went
to Chicago, 8 to Pittsburg, 7 to New Castle,
Pa., 14 to Hazelton, Pa., 4 to Cleveland, 20
to "Watston, Pa., 3 to Sutton, TV. Va., 1 to
Bryan, Tex., 1 to New Orleans and 1 to
Strong, Pa. The others went to points in
the interior of New York and to New Eng
land. At a later hour the following special tele
gram, snowing that the disease was al
ready Commending to spread, was received
from the town of Newhurg, N. Y.: There
are four .cases of typhm fever Inv this city. "
All are Italians and all were paeVjigers on.
thesteanjer DXossilia. After they came here
they located in the First ward, which is in the
midst of an Italian colony. The discovery
was made by the calling in of the almshouse
physician this morning to attend sick peo
ple. He concluded the disease was the
malignant fever, and the patients were at
once removed to the pesthouse at the city
and town almshouse, where they are in
charge of the city health officers and the
almshouse physician. A considerable scare
has resulted in the neighborhood.
An Investigation In Plttsbnrg.
As soon as these dispatches were received
every effort was made to discoverthewhere
abouts of the Messalia passengers in Pitts
burg, hut so many immigrants arrive here
daily that it is practically impossible to lo-.
cate a small group of this kind r
after they once enter the city.
At the Bureau of Health last night nothing
was known of any typhus cases in Pittsburg.
Nigbt Clerk "W. B. Evans said: "There has
been no report of any such disease made in
this office. I feel satisfied that if any cases
arrived in Pittsburg they would require
medical attention at once and the physicians
would have reported to us as the law re- "
quires. It is doubtful whether a person
afflicted with typhus could reach this far in
land, though some hardy immigrants might."
City Physician J. Guy ifcCandless when
seen said there had not been any cases re
ported at the Bureau of Health up until 4:30
yesterday afternoon.
'In case we hear of any," said he, "they
will at once be isolated and every precau
tion will be taken to prevent the spread of
the disease. I wish you woujd say that if
any physician discovers a case he immedi
ately report the same to the Bureau of
Health in order that every precaution may
be taken.
Only One Method of Procedure.
"There is but one way to stamp out an
infectious disease. That is to immediately
qaarantine every one connected with it.
There is no possible way for us to discover
where those eight persons are.
"While thcv may not become af
flicted, they might communicate
the malady to "others and if the case is not
reported promptly an epidemic may result.
"We have never had any serious cases of the
simon pure typhus fever in thir vicinity,
but there have'been a few cases that were
properly cared for and serious results
avertea. A case has been reported from
Newhurg, and the patient has Deen placed
in the pesthouse."
"Would yon do the same here, doctor?"
'Yes, sir, and the black flog would be
raised at once. "We do not propose to have
an epidemic of that kind thrust upon us. I
wish you would make it very emphatic that
if any physician discovers a case or the
svmptoms of one it be reported to the
Bureau of Health at once, so that alL pre
caution may be taken to avert an epidemic
of this dreadful disease."
