Bureau or The DiarATCH, Washikotoit. D. C March a Naturally the President is much worried over the unexpected complication in the Bering Sea negotiations. It is very provok ing to him that just as the danger of a war with Chile is past a war with Great Britain should crop out as one of the possibilities, and especially at a time when he had opened the canvasback shooting season so brilliantly. Of course, His Excellency went to church to-day. After his devotions he called upon Secretary Blaine to learn the condition of his health and to get his opinion of Lord Salisbury. It is safe to say that this opinion was not complimentary and that the President heartily applauded it. The President was in turn called upon hy Sec retary Tracy, doubtless for the purpose of submitting an arithmetical calculation of how lone the United States Navy could hold out in a naval war with Great Britain. The Senate a Probable Scapegoat. "We shall probably know within a few days the manner in which the administra tion will meet the dilemma thrust upon it by Lord Salisbury. It is thought that the responsibility will be thrown upon the Sen ate. Possibly when the new treaty is sub mitted to that body it will be accompanied by a suggestion that it be amended to stip ulate that the former modus vivendi shall continue until the conclusion of the arbi tration. This would put upon Salisbury either acceptance or a flat rejection, which would reuder a full explanation necessary. Many icasons are invented by way of ex plaining the motives of his lordship in re fusing a renewal of the modus vivendi. One is that he is willing to assist the Cana dians to avenge themselves on the United States for the failure of the recent negotia tions for reciprocity. A better one is that he wishes to bolster up his failing adminis tration and give the Tories a new lease of life. It is "practical politics" to excite a' war scare, and even to risk a war, when national elections are at hand. President Harrison understands that sort of politics perfectly well, and he should congratulate Salisbury and give him thanks. War Talk Helps the President. If war talk will helo Salisbury it will help Harrison. If the prospect of a war with Chile was certain, as most persons seemed to think it wa, to result in the re nomination and election of Mr. Harrison, how much more emphatically might a sim ilar assertion be made relative to a possible war with Great Britain? It is really a not wholly untenable theory that Harrison and Salisbury may have an understanding that there shall be a lively but bloodless war on diplomatic note paper until after national elections are held in both countries. Secretary Charles I'okter, another practi cal politician, has been President Harri son's envoy in the matter.- He certainly has a fine understanding of the pitfalls and necessities of politics when he so promptly denies by cable that he ever used the phrase "clam-mouthed Irishman," at tributed to him by some villainous British imitator of the methods of the only original and genuine interviewer on earth, the American reporter. Tree Silver Men's Chance To-Day. At last, three months after the introduc tion of the Bland silver bill in the House of Eepresentatives, something definite is to be done in regard to it to-morrow. Both the pro-silver and anti-silver members are on the ground to the greatest number that could be induced to abandon thought of all else and return to the Congressional duties for the non-performance of which they draw 55,000 a year. Mr. Bland assures me that he has not the least fear of defeat to-morrow on the ques tion of consideration. He is convinced the rule reported fixing the 22d, 23d and 24th of March for consideration will have a large majority of Democrats, and that the Repub licans will take no hand in tihat appears to be a Democratic quarrel. In this Mr. Bland is mistaken. The Re publicans, many of them, have determined to take a hand, but if so it will add to the majority of Mr. Bland's faction. I am in formed that ex-Speaker Beed will vote for consideration. If that be true, it is prob able that most of the Republicans will fol low his lead. They profess to harbor a sin cere desire to have the silver question dis cussed for its own sake, but it is shrewdly suspected that they want it discussed for the fun they will get out of hearing the Democrats call each other hard names, and the increased disorganization that will re sult from the disagreement Lnconragement for Enemies. In other words, they will vote to bring the parties to the Democratic silver fend face to ar with each other, and they will encourage them to banc away at each other as long as there is a shot or a man left. After the performance of this delicate office the Republicans will not be so certain in regard to their policy. Thsir united vote, added to that of the anti-silver Demo crats, might possibly defeat the Bland bill, but the Republicans are not wholly sure that it would be best to defeat it. They fear that such action on their part might in some measure neutralize the unfavorable effect- upon the country of the passage of the bill in the House. Such passage -of the bill would go far to commit the Democratic national convention to free silver, it is be lieved, and that is what the Republicans want, as they are convinced that a tree silver plank in the Democratic platform would enable the Republicans to carry every Northern Stale. If this view be the final one the Republicans will know the excep tion of the nine or ten, who will vote for free coinage, remain quiet ana let the Dem ocrats fight it out as they can.. No Hope for Anti-Silver Men. The anti-silver men have little or no hope for victory to-morrow. They have counted on assistance from Republicans, but they know now that such expectation is vain. Their sole purpose is to muster as large a vote as possible, and they may not attempt obstruction at all, at least until the question arises on the passage of the bill itself. Yet the vote to-morrow may be a surprise, even to the anti-silver men. Democrats who would not dare to vote against free coinage can safely oppose con sideration as a matter of party policy, be cause they think it would "be shrewd strategy to postpone the whole question until alter -the elections. Others wno creatly desire the passage of a free coinage bill have a similar conviction, and may vote that way more numerously than anyone now anticipates. The antis at this time count upon the support of 90 Democrats, and in this number are included all of the New York Democrats, except three, and all Jrom Pennsylvania except Mr. Riley, of the Thirteenth district A Chance to Show Consistency. HoseaT. Rockwell, Democrat. ofElmira, N. Y., claims to have been elected to Con gress over Henry P. Noyes, Republican, by a majority of 89 votes. Noycs contests, and with so strong a hope of success that Rockwell, coming from a decided anti-free coinage district, sells his vote to the free coinage men, hoping to enlist their support in a body as a reward for his treachery to his State and his constituents. In the Craig-Stewart case the committee reported for Craig, giving as its strongest reason the fact that it was following decisions of the Pennsylvania courts in the matter of the voting of non-registered citizens. To be consistent the committee will be compelled to report in favor of Noyes in the New York case, as decisions of New York courts have been favorable to his claims in the contest It would indeed be unfortunate for Mr. Rockwell," if, having sold his vote to the free coinage men, he should also be unseated. I regret to say that Mr. Rockwell is a native of Tioga county, Pa. Bill and His Unearned Salary. Some Democratic orators and newspapers are giving much foolish praise to Senator David B. Hill for his refusal to accept pay for that part of his Senatorial term which had passed before he was sworn in. That was a bit of demogogic flummery of which nobody but an exceedingly small man seek ing large but cheap notoriety would be guilty. The salary of a Senator is $5,000 a j ear, to pay him for such services as he per forms, be it much or litt'e. To be consist ent, Mr. Hill should .refuse, to. accept pay lor everv day when he is absent on his own political or financial business, and his sal ary should cease the moment the gavel an nounces a final adjournment of the session. He should certainly not take as much for the shoit session of three months as for the long one of seven, eight or nine months. Lightuer. FUN FOR FIRE-EATERS. Navy Dndes Pleased 'With Sew Bnmon of War Chance for a Naval Parade Uncle Sam Better Prepared Than He Was When Chile Threatened. Washington, March 6. The Navy De partment regards the recent developments of the Bering Sea question with great satis faction. As in the dark days of the Chilean trouble, it sees a possible chance of at least a naal parade, if not something better suited to the taste of every man in the ser vice. It takes very little to start-war talk in Washington, and Lord Salisbury's ultimat um that he will not consent to a renewal of the modus vivendi in Berintr Sea has proved sufficient The fire-eating Lieuten ants are already speculating on the necessi; ty of Uncle Sam sending a force of vessels to the Northern waters to protect the seals in Bering Sea and keep off the poachers. Fortunately, the Navy Department is better prepared for this service than it was a year ago. There are nine vessels, all in serviceable condition, available for Bering Sea duty. These are the Baltimore. Charles ton, Mohican and the Adams, now at Mare Island; the Boston and the Yorktown, en route lrom the South to San Francisco: the San Francisco, at Honolulu; the Ranger, in Lower California, and the Thetis, at Sitka, Alaska. If these vessels have nothing else to do but capture sealers they will be more than enough for the purpose, but England has seven formidable vessels in Pacific waters, and a fleet of 15 others on the China sta tion that can be sent to Bering Sea as quickly as we can get ours there. The American navy would cut a pretty lame figure in its efforts to seize English sealing vessels, if England should attempt to in terfere, as she probably would. The English vessels in the Pacific at the present time are the 8,400-ton armored cruiser Warspite, the 2,380-ton cruiser Champion, the 3,000-ton cruiser Melpomene, the Nympic, the Garnet, the Pheasant and the Daphene. SOME WOMEN'S RIGHTS. Those Who Use Cosmetics Forced to Stand Up and Advocate Their Canse Congress Ii-gislatlng on an Important Subject to Most Women Nowadays. Washington, March a Special Shall woman be denied the right to beau tify herself if she sees fit, and shall the ancient bachelor whose hair gives away his age be refused the privilege of using such dyes as please his fancy is a question now pending before the House Committee on Agriculture, and which will be passed upon at the meeting to-morrow, when the pure food bill will be the special order of the day. Cosmetics and hairoil promise to make things lively, tbepro and con of the question being championed by Madame Yale, of the "Temple of Beauty," and Charlotte Smith, respectively. The fight was inaugurated by Mrs. Smith, who yesterday appeared before the commit tee and asked to be heard on the amendment, which shall cause the law to operate against adulterated or injurious cosmetics, face powders, and uneents, which she says, in stead of beautifying, destroy the skin of the women of the land who use them, be cause of the deleterious nature of the com pounds, "If nature did not give a woman a pretty complexion," said Mrs. Smith to Chairman Hatch, "art and cosmetics can't doit." Madame Yale said she could give the committee some information it probably did not have One of the committee was ixank enough to admit that he thought she could. A hearing may be had on Wednesday. Mr. Hatch thinks the present bill .fully covers the point raised. Mrs. Smith's next campaign is to be directed against the setting apart of any portion of the World's Fair for the display of any cosmetics or compounds of a similar sort which contain element inany way in jurious to the body. '""" MR. SPRINGER MUCH WORSE. HIS PHTSICIANS SAT THERE'S NO OC CASION FOB ALABM. Erysipelas Again Sets In The Entire Face of the Patient Now Affected Periods of Delirium Now Frequent A Statement Sent Out toy the Doctors. "Washington, March ft The condition of Congressman Springer is worse to-day. There is a recurrence of the virulent form of erysipelas which had once almost disap peared, and to-night the left side of his face is badly swollen and the eye nearly closed. Periods of delirium are also more lrequent, and there is to-day a slight tendency to stupor a new phase in his condition, but one which his physicians declare, not to be particularly alarming. The attending physicians held a consulta tion late to-night, and at its conclusion Dr. John A. Vincent, of Springfield, I1L, Mr. Springer's family physician, made the fol lowing statement to the Associated Press: There Is no occasion for Immediate alarm. Mr. Springer is worse to-day, but that does not necessarily mean that a fatal result must ensue. This change is rmthing more than might he expected in the run of this disease. I fnllv appreciated that when I said yesterday that while his condition was improved then he was not out or danger. Throughout the day. yesterday, his symtoms weie favorable, but a change for the worse took place in the afternoon and continued during the night While he slept consider ably last night, yet it was a broken and restless sleep. There is to-day an increased development of erysipelas on his face, attended by de lirium and coma. The acgravatlon of the erysipelas, while of course a matter of grav ity, is not necessarily alarming. It only shows that there Is not sufficient vitality to resist the ravages of the disease. It shows low vitality and a lack of physical vigor. The erysipelas began on his left cheek, and has extended over and covers the entire lace except the forehead. The nose is very much swollen with the development of the vesi cles. Both eyes are involved and nearly closed. The delirium, or course, is induced hy the disturbed condition of the nerve cen teis. The coma or stupor frequentlv makes its appearance after he has been talk ing in an aimless way about the business of the House or the tariff hills. After he drops off into this state of coma or stupor, howevei.it is quite easy to arouso him again, when he will talk quite in telligently, perhaps, for awhile, but after the conversation ceases he will lapse into that condition asain. He is a verv sick man. no donbt of that; but it is not immediately dangerous, in my opinion. Even should the disease terminate fatally he would probably pass into a comatose state and remain for hours in that condition, and possibly a day or two befoie death en sued. Dis. Custis and Verdi are still with me In the case Dr. Custis, in lact, having charge of it, as he was the first physician called. We have consultations twice a day, and are in perfect aecordas to the treatment that Is being pursued. FAYETTE WELCH MURDERED. The Weil-Known Actor Shot Dead In a Boston Boarding Honse by Gould, the "Variety Performer A Trivial Quarrel Caused the Tragedy. Boston, March 6. About 2 o'clock this morning Fayette Welsh, an actor, was shot sand KiHed-bj William i-JJanaetv. a'vir- Tidy performer, professionally known as William" J. Gould. The shooting occurred at a theatrical boarding house, where Welch was staying. Flannery and his wife occupied rooms nearly opposite on the same floor. Alter Flannery and his wife returned home from the theater last night they and Welch had a quarrel, during which Welch called Mrs. Flannery some hard names. Flannery went to Welch's apartments, and, failing to get a retraction, fired the fatal bullet just as Welch was approaching him in a threatening manner with hands up lifted. "Welch fell without a moan or sign of life. The police were on the scene within five minutes and placed Flannery under arrest. He acknowledged doing the shooting, but said it was unintentional His intention was to fire over Welch's head, but he missed the mark by about an inch. CENSORS OF SUNDAY SHOWS. Three New Tork Detectives f ass Upon the Sacred Concerts. NEW York, March 6. Special Com plaints were sent to police headquarters last week, by citizens, that Sunday concerts were given that were very little different from those given upon the stage every day, aqd that theatrical managers were trying to evade the law prohibiting theatrical per formances on Sunday. Superintendent Murray sent out orders that the law should be enforced. The result of the order from headquarters was that Detectives Kemp, Brett and McConnell were made censors to night of the performances at Worth's Museum, the Standard Theater, Koster & Bial's and the Broadway Theater. Colonel Bob Ingersoll's lecture at the Broadway was passed without question. He talked on "Myths and Miracles." At Koster and Bial's and the Standard the actors were introduced to the detectives when about to go on, and police criticism was passed upon them. Yank Hoe's jugglery act was eliminated from the enter tainment at the Standard, and the use of all wigs aud theatrical wardrobe was pro hibited. The actors and actresses who sang or talked or played the piano, had to do it in evening dress or walking dress. Some of the actors submitted with very bad grace to the orders of the police censors. UEVT. HETKEBIHGTON'S CABEXB. What the Old Neighbors of the Wronged Naval Officer Know of Him. Dubuque, Ia., March 6. The telegram from San Francisco announcing the killing of a prominent citizen of Yokohama by Lieutenant J. H. Hetherington, of the United States warship Marion, of the Asiatic squadron, created a sensation here. Lieutenant Hetherington is native of Dubuque. He entered the naval academy at Annapolis in 1874, graduated with high honors in 1878, was at once assigned to duty, and has been in active service ever since. Three years ago he married a Miss Hughes, of Wilmington, Del. Last summer she vis ited the Lieutenant's relatives here, and was thought to be very charming in man ner and person. After leaving here she joined her husband, and has been with him ever since. The Son or Chicago's Mayor Locked Up. New York, March ft William B.

The Commerce ot the Great Lakes and the Kecessity for Canals. ODE SHIPS THE BEST IN THE WOfeLD New York, March 6. In an interview with Secretary of the Navy Traey.furnished by "Gath" to the Sun, considerable space is .devoted to the subject of canals and Jake traffic as well as naval matters. Here are some of the passages. "Mr. Secretary, we spoke just now of the Erie Canal. Should not that be made a ship canal commensurate with the importance of the great lakes which bring their products down to Buffalo?" "That is the opinion of some. I think it will never be widened aud deepened again unless as a national work. . It costs sne State of NcwYork, if I remember correctly, some $800,000 a year, but I do not think that the State and the people grudge the amount I think the canal has no opponents who are disinterested." "Would it cost 510,000,000 to make it, like the Welland Canal, fit for ships?" "More than that," said Mr. Tracy, shak ing his head. "New York State, as in the days of De Witt Clinton, is still an isthmus for re ceiving at either end a magnificent com merce?" "The growth of the lake commerce," the Secretary said, "is one of the wonderful facts of the modern world. When Secre tary Windom presented his figures at Del nionico's iu New York in the hour of his death, I sat listening in wonder, thinking to myself, 'Can you be right in such immense aggregates of tonnage and movement?' He seems to have been right, and his death -has impressed those figures upon his country men." The Question ot the Great Lakes. "Does it ever occur to you, Mr. Secretary, that on our great lakes, where we have so many large and growing cities, we are next to defenseless?" "That is in accordance with treaty regula tions, which prohibit either the United States or Canada from keeping more than one war vessel on the lakes, and that one of very little account in these days. I do l ot know that it would be necessary to alter this state of things. Hitherto it has worked very well for both countries. If we were to increase our armament on the lakes, the other side would do the same. I think, how ever, that the treaty should be extended to mliranp th Sh T.awrenee,Tiver. m welsj ". I , X.", , , 7.

Congress alone has the power "to declare war. The President cannot do it. "He might exert an illegal power under great provocation, but that is not probable. If the British, under the treaty, would keep the ,lower St. Lawrence clear of their war ships, we should have less apprehension about the upper lakes." "Do not the American people exhibit a languor on all external .questions?" Why "We Need a Navy. "If they do it is becoming time for them to look abroad. Hitherto we have been absorbed in home development, and have withdrawn our capital from all other parts, of the world to use it at home, because at home it earned more than elsewhere. The indications are that that time has passed. The Americans will not become hereafter a merely internal people like the Chinese. We are growing rich faster than any coun try on the earth; the increase of riches in the United states exceeds that ot the United Kingdom, Germany and France to gether. The whole energies of our people are applied to production and investment When you see money in New York, even in Wall street, drawing but 2 to 2 per cent, you mav be sure that the time has almost come wnen -American weaitn win go to me foreign place where returns are the largest and equally secure. Then this lethargy on the subject of foreign affairs will be changed and the demand will arise for protection, such as all other nations afford and which the navy secures." "Have we really as good ships as any other country?" We Have the Best Ships. "We have better ships. The three iron clads, ships of war, two of which the Cramps are building and the other under construc tion at San Francisco, are the most power ful ships in the world. All ships of war of this kind throughout the world are built on the same general plan. No revolution has taken place in the understanding that the tuirct principle, modified by higher freeboards to make the ships more sea worthy, is to be permanent. The monitors were little more than rafts, and high seas rolled over them and prevented the use of the turret guns; their turrets were not more than eight or ten feet high. Now the turrets are raised, and the freeboards or gunwales and decks are built higher up. The great guns are under shelter ot the turrets and do not have their broadsides exposed as for merly. In the cruisers, platforms are built out upon the hulls so as to get a raking fire fore and aft." "How would you coal such ships in war?" "Just as I was ready to coal them in the late Chilean trouble; I had an ample supply of coal to last for SO days for ten battle ships and meant to send it along with the ships." "What kind of coal did yoa buy?" "I bought all the English coal I could find in the markets of the Pacific States and put it on transports to go with the navy." "Is that coal better than American coal?" "It was better than the Pacific States coal for steam-making purposes, but ve have the best coal in the world for that purpose in our Pocahontas and Clearfield districts of Virginia and Pennsylvania." Possible Political Dangers. "Mr. Secretary, what do you see hanging over this country to give us apprehension?" "I see nothing but a disputed Presidental election to inspire us with alarm. If we ever come to that we may find ourselves instantly in the situation of the South American Republics, whose rock of ship wreck has been disputed Presidental elec tions." "What is the remedy in this country against such disputed elections?" "Nothing but public opinion sustaining the sanctity of the suffrage. " "The sanctity of the suffrage has been blasphemed a good deal in all directions of late?" "Yes, and when that is general we are already South Americanized. Not (respect inc the rieht to vote, not counting: the vote. setting the vote and its sanctity aside these are the menaces of onr stii "Mr.-Sherman aad tome' otbfn tUsk that agrarian and socialistic troubles may be onr danger?" "Well, our safety as to those things jfc in the magnitude of the country. There is no storm center in America large enough to affect the stability and loyalty of the cm- J lire. New York City, with its large T'opu ation and surroundings, would make a very small showing against tho United States." "What do you think about the develop-' ment of the Southern States?" , "For the population they have-! think that their development is possibly greater than that of any other section of the country at the present time. They are making cheaper iron than any other section, they are developing their fuel, and it is coming into request; they have a longer season and more-open climate than either the East or the West" "Aye we not hard up for active seamen to man our war fleet?" "We will never be harder up than we are now for native seamen, and, therefore, I think, we shall be better off for them in the inture." AMBUSHED IN A STORK THE END OF A SMALL BEIGN OF TEE BOB IN MEMPHIS. A large Fosse Balds a Tough Negro Resort, and Each Party Finds Itself Between Two Fires Many Officers Wounded Twenty Arrests Made. Memphis, March 6. Twenty negroes have been placed under arrest by the authorities in connection with last night's trouble at "The Curve. " Those arrested in clude Calvin McDowell, manager of the co- J operative store, where the shooting took place, and Tom Moss, a letter carrier, who are believed to have been the ring leaders in the affair. The trouble re sulted from the existence of a nest of turbulent" and unruly negroes living at and near the neighborhood of "The Curve." Last Wednesday night the negroes as sembled and were very riotious. W. R. Barrett, a grocer, tried to quiet them and was set upon and clubbed and shofat.several Duiiets passing through his clothes. Since then the negroes have been holding secret meetings. Many whites, fearing trouble, leftaheir homes and came to town. Last nieht the Sheriff" and a large posse surrounded the "People's Grocery," a negro store which is the rendezvous of the gang. As Perkins, one of the posse, en tered the front door and proceeded into the back room, he was greeted by a volley of shots. The other deputies at the same instant entered the back door. These men supposed the fighting had begun in front and charged on a group of negroes, who were partly concealed by a screen. The negroes were armed with shotguns, but the officers closed in on them and used their pistols as clubs, haying no idea that their comrades had been shot down. In a minute the negroes in the back room had dropped their guns and fled. No sooner had the negroes who were be hind the counter in the front room heard the posse enter from behind than they lifted shotguns that they had concealed be hind the counter and fired on the deputies in front. Each of the three officers nas struck in the face or head. Cole was des perately wounded. One of his eyes were shot out, hut he still fought gamely. The other officers were slightly wounded, al though Harrold has a dangerous hole in his head. The police station at once dispatched a squad to the scene, where a few arrests were made. The other arrests were made to-day without trouble. Cole is still alive, but his condition is critical. AMARTYR TOTYPHUS: Catherine Glennon, a Norse Heroine, the h Eleventh Patient to Die." NEW Y'ork, March 6. The health board is much agitated over the typhus fever sitnation in this city. A case which was diagnosed as probably typhus, was found to-day in a crowded ward of Belle vue Hospital. Charles Blumenthal, a young German agent, living on Third avenue, a hitherto unsuspected locality, was removed to the hospital last night, supposedly suffer ing from pulmonary trouble. Tnis morn ing the physician in charge, thinking he detected typhus symptoms in Blumenthal's ease, called in a health officer who coin cided with the doctor, and the patient was promptly isolated aud the ward" fumigated. Eleven deaths to date mark the result of the. typhus infection in this city. The latest fatality has an element of quiet hero ism about it Catherine Glennon died in terrible agony at the typhus camp on North Brother's Island this morning. The unfor tunate n oman was one of the little band of nurses who volunteeied to take their lives in their hands and go into the plague stricken camp and care for the suffering Hebrew immigrants who first brought the dread contagion to these shores. She did much to alleviate the misery of the poor outcasts, but her life was the price of her self-sacrifice. Another suspect to-day was found at the quarantine house and removed to the Island. JAPAN Hi" A FEB-EHT. Blval Political Parties Give Vent to Their Fends In Street Rioting. San Francisco, March 6. Serious riot ing is in progress in Japan. The news comes by the steamship City of Pekin, which arrived here this afternoon. Political troubles are at the bottom of the riots. The peace preservation act has again been en forced at Kochi Ken, aud the Government has suppressed a imber of opposition papers. A manifesto alleges malfeasance on the part of the Government. Two hun dred Kokumin rioters demolished 80 houses at Sagawa Mura February 13. A fight be tween Radicals and Koknmms, numbering 400, resulted in the killing of twoKokumins. Several Radicals were arrested. Riots and loss of some lives are reported from Yoshi kawa, Fukwoka, Ishikawo, Oita and other prefectures. January 28 a band of Kaishinto adherents invaded the house of a prominent Radical, Katamura Morinosuke, who repulsed them with a sword, wounding two ot them. On the 29 there was a pitched battle between 70 Kokumin adherents and 300 Jiyn To ad herents. One of the latter was killed and one of each party wounded. An additional company of gendarmes has been ordered to Kochi. A number of bloodless collisions between large parties of the various factions has taken place. A meeting February 6 was broken up by the arrest of 20 disorderly men. AN ARCHBISHOP ROASTED Bya Reformed Catholic Priest for Permit tine the Blaine-Nevlns Mnrrlaee. New York, March- 6. Father O'Connor, the leader of the Reformed Catholic Church in this city, addressed a large audience to night in Christ Mission Hall on the subject of the Blaine-Nevins marriage.

An investigation of nnnslifll interest, tn the mAilionl fmfprnJtv and scientific men generally throughout thefgA. J?1 State and nation will come up in the Senate p"C .0 for discussion on Monday night. It is the special order which em powers the Senate Public Health Committee to investigate the Keeley bi chloride of gold cure. Last week several 'doctors from the White Plains Institute appeared before the Senate Health Com mittee and demanded an investigation, claiming that as long as the pending charges were hanging' over their heads in the Senate it was ruining their business and keeping patients away. But many express the belief that the authorities at White Plains do not really want any investigation, fearing prob ably expert testimony may Tie presented that may lead the State to force the Keeley people to make known the composi tion of their secret cure. .The State authorities are also interested in the proposed investigation to the extent of finding out whether the Keeley people cannot be forced to bring their private in stitutions Under tho Operations of the Lam of the State, and to determine whether they have the right to farm out territories in which to establish institutions, while do ing an enormous business in this State as a private concern. The State Board of Health is of the opinion that the Keeley institutes should not be allowed to do business unless they are incorporated under the laws of the State. The recent death of Walter B. Earle at the Ponghkeepsie insane asylum, after treatment at the White Plains institute, led to the introduction of Sena tor Endress' resolution calling for an investigation. and the relatives and friends of Earle in this city are pushing the proposed investigation with vigor. The death of ex-Congressman S. T. Hopkins, whose body was found in a marsh in New Jersey on Friday last, and who had recently been under treatment at White Plains, will also fisrure tin the -projMisel-Investigation.--ijfr. Bop Kins was u great, inenu ui oeuaiur .rurKer, Chairman of tho Senate Public Health Committee, and Mr, Parker will doubtless inquire into the statement, made sines Hop kins' death, that the Keeley people had re tained Hopkins as connsel to go before the Senate Committee to defend them at the in vestigation. A Startling Bit of News. A special from Kankakee, III., says that one of the most startling discoveries con cerning the Leslie E. Keeley method of treating inebriates has just come to light at Kankakee, and will doubtless be read by the medical profession ana public in gen eral with no small degree of astonishment. There will no doubt be a commotion among the 800 patients now under treatment at Dwight lor the opium habit and for drunkenness, and especially among the members of the Si-chloride of Gold Club, when they learn that 11 graduates of the Leslie E. Keeley institute have been ad judged insane, and are now inmates of the Illinois Eastern Hospital for Insane at Kankakee. This may seem startling information, but it is a matter of record which the books will substantiate. It has been an open secret for several months in Kankakee that a number of Keeley graduates were inmates of this in stitution. So much has been said by the press throughout the United States in praise of Dr. Keeley's great cure that it was not dreamed that 11 persons treated by him had become raving maniacs. If the Kankakee hospital cases are any criterion of the results of Dr. Keeley's discovery an investigation of similar institutions through out the united states would pernaps reveal some astonishing facts. A Guarded Answer to a Question. Dr. Dewey, medical superintendent of the hospital at Kankakee, acknowledged that 11 of Dr. Keeley's patients had been ad judged insane and placed under his care during the last year. Dr. Dewey said: "Yes, it is true that a number of the in mates of this institution were formerly patients of Dr. Keeley aud took treatment for the morphine, opium or liquor habit. The majority of the number have been re ceived during the last six months." "Do yon attribute the condition of these patients to the Keeley treatment?" "That is a rather direct question for me to answer. Most of the patients receive d here who have been treated by Dr. Keeley were pronounced insane from the eflects of 'ex cessive drinking.' At least that is the statement that accompanies many of the re ports." "Do you mean to say that the .Keeley treatment had nothing to do with bringing about the condition of the 11 patients who are now under your care?" "I do not say that the Keeley treatment had nothingto do with the present condi tion of these poor unfortunate". There is no doubt in my mind that the Kee'ey treat ment had something to do with it. The Keeley discovery is claimed to be a pro found secret, and the medical profession at large know nothing concerning the contents of the formula. Under existing circum stances I, as a doctor, do not care to -say what effect the treatment would have on it patient's system. There is no question but what the "Keeley formula contains some powerful narcotic which affects the brain." Hard on the Nervous System. "Is this the first time that the Keeley patients have been inmates of an insane hospital?" "With but one exception it is the first time that any of the eleven patients were ever confined in a hospital. One of that number was an inmate ot an asylum three years ago, but was pronounced cured and sent home." This startling disclosure is by no means exaggerated and is only the commencement of an investigation that will not be flattering for the future success ot Dr. Keeley's bi chloride of gold cure for drunkenness. Dr. H. M. Bannister. Assistant Superintendent at Kankakee, substantiated the facts given by Dr. Dewey. Dr. Bannister further said: "There is no question that the Keeley treatment is severe on the nervous system. I have treated some ot the Keeley patients, and know that their nerves nave .been affected by the medicine contained in tho formula." "What ingredient contained lis the Keeley J formula would you say affected the patient's brain and has a tendency to cause wsan- ty?" "Atropine is a very powenui uicui agent and is very injurious to the nerves, but as the Keeley formula is supposed to be a "profound secret,' I cannot say what in gredient contained in his formula would have a tendency to cause insanity. The patients that I hare treated are not a violent class, but, on the contrary, seem to have had all the life aha spirit taken out of their system." HER MARRIAGE A FAILURE. THE FAVOBITE DAUGHTER OF PIG IKON KETXET HAS TROUBLE. She Asks a Chicago Court for the Custody of Her Children She Wedded a For eigner and Now Lives to Secret the Hasty Woolnjr. Philadelphia, March 6. Friends in this city of Mrs.FlorenceWischewitzky,nee Kelley, daughter of the late Congressman W. D. Kelley, have verified dispatches from Chicago to the effect that Judge Baker, of that city, had refused to give Dr. Lazane Wischewitzky the custody of the three children whom he claims his wife is holding from him. It is a scatter of no eat surprise among the acquaintances of S-c-v.. ' schewitzv here that the affairs of - 'orfr-linwo TaTir! till.

Mrs. Wischewitzky, or Mrs. Kelley, as she is known by those who are associated with her in her work in Chicago, is a woman of marked individuality, possessing many of the sterling qualities which made her father such a power in the House of Rep resentatives. She received all the benefits of a thorough college education, and speaks four languages with fluency. Very shortly after her graduation at Cornell University she became private secretary to her father, who was then in the zenith of his fame. She was her father's favorite daughter, and he endeavored to instil into her really brilliant mind his own political ideas. While study ing in Zurich she met Dr. Lazone Wische witzky, a young Russian of pronounced Nihilistic sympathies. After a short court ship they were married and came to America. The news of the marriage was a terrible blow to Congressman Kelley, who enter tained a decided antipathy to the young foreigner. Dr Wischewitzky went to New York and established himself there, soon acquiring considerable practice. Just when her hopes were at their height, however, domestic troubles compelled the unfortunate young wife to leave with her children for Chicago. There she resumed her maiden name, and hai actively engaged in work looking toward the solution of the servant girl problem a work which made her famous in New York. MURDERER MILLS GETS FREE.

It was after dark, but the head horseman was recognized as Sheriff Browri of.Butler, with twoofhis. deputies following him, and the word soon spread that they , were after the escaped murderer .Mills.

BEATS GOGEBIC BADLY. The Iron aiming Craze at the New Mesabl Banse Increasing; Daily. Dultjth, March 6. The iron mining craze continues with increasing force. The companies incorporated to date exceed $100, 000,000 in capitalization, and the larger number of them have iron in sight on their lands on the Mesabi range. Three railroads are aiming for the iron country and con fident of shipping ore this season. Daily excursions ot capitalists from all parts of the country to the range are being made. State Geologist Winchell, who made the range a study for years, was a member of a big party yesterday. He said the- Mesabi range showed twice as much ore after four months of development as the Gogebic after four months work. "I fairly believe that this range will ship 200,000 tons of ore this year, " he said. 'The quality of these ores 1 consider fully equal to that of theGogebic, while their product I believe to be much greater." DIED A LITTLE TOO SUDDENLY.

Free Methodists in Iowa Towns, PelM With AH Sorts of Missiles, APPEAL FOE THE MILITIA, Their Queer Performances Make Theme Targets for the Babble 0FFICI0USNESS AT SICK BEDS Incurs the Bnmitj of FamiHes Where Thtf Hold Ministrations. MEETINGS OP THE BAND DISTUBBED Cohhtng, Ia., Slarch 6. The application; made by the Free Methodists to Governor Boies for protection by the State militia is) the outcome of an antagonistic feeling thai the citizens of Southwestern Iowa have for months entertained against those religious enthusiasts. The latter have had headquar ters at Shenandoah, Bed Oak and othe? points, and at all of these places have had trouble with the local authorities. Since last summer they have been holding" protracted meetings at Corning. At first they occupied a large tent, which was) burned, probably by an incendiary, ona night last September, after which they leased a rink, where they continued their work. Their creed has not been criticised so much as their manners, methods and pulpit utterances. They are accustomed in the enthusiasm of their meetings to stamp, shout, yell and run about the full lengthy and breadth of the rink, and some of tha1 young girls and young men who have beeit converted have frantically thrown them selves at full length upon the floor, and a& times have lain there, kicking and rollick ing hysterically for hours. Sllsgalded Kindness for the Ailing. At .times the bond has been accustomed, to go to any of the homes where they could gain admittance and sing and pray until they were requested to withdraw. They held daily seances at one home to heal a good woman who had been a helpless in- valid from rheumatism for many years. The conditions were not right, however, for her restoration. Naturally, the evening meetings attract ed a rabble, and the services were some times interrupted by scoffers. After sev era! arrests had been made and the pris oners released at the request of the prose cutors special policemen were sworn in to preserve the peace. One of the converts 13' W. H. Hoxie, publisher of a local paper, who has become so wholly wrapped up inj the religious enthusiasm as to give most of his property to the agitators. The immediate cause of the present ap- peal to the Governor was as foifciws: A. prominent furniture dealer named Hollpu ter has for years provided the comforts of a good home for his wife's infirm parents, Mr. and Mrs. Whitehead, aged 72 and 75, re spectively.; Officious Interference Causes Trouble. These good old people have become inter ested in the meeting', and the members off the band have been regular visitors at-Mrs. Hollisters home to hold special meetings in their behalf. This became so annoying to Mr. and Mrs. Hollister that they re quested the visits to cease. The Free Meth odists then prevailed upon the old coupla,. to go with them and occupy quarters which A they would fit up, promising to provide for them. Wednesday night, after these events, Mr. Hoxie thanked God that this was "nott the kind of religion which allowed a man to turn his oldfather and mother out of doors." At the close of the meeting Bert Hollis ter, a son of Robert Hollister and a grand--son of the old couple, approached Captain, Hoxie and called him a liar and other offen sive names. The special police threatened him with arrest.but he was well backed up by young companions. A Prize FIsht In the Meeting Houses J The next night the manager of the rink;, building leased the main floor of the edifice, for a prize hght and boxing exhibition. Large crowds gathered, and during tha evening the windows of the rink occupied by the revivalists were kicked in, the elec tric lights were shut off at the works and the pentecostal band were served with em bryotic poultry on the half shell, mud, stones and stick's. At the conclusion tha, gang followed the workers to their sleeping quarters and pelted them with eggs and' other missiles. The band did not complain to the city, authorities, but at 'once telegraphed the Governor for troops. The Governor's pri vate secretary communicated with -tha sheriff, who telegraphed him there was no i cause for alarm or calling out the militia. The United States Marshal is now here to investigate the situation. Public sentiment'is strongly opposed to the continuance of these meetings. Captain Hoxie says that Thursday night s mob was the same "as that which lynched and hanged the murderer McKenzie here a few years) ago. EASTBOTJBHE'S WEEKLY WOT.
