JSrrCIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE PTSrATCH.l Indianapolis, March 10. The Kepub Jican State Convention met here to-dav to elect delegates-at-Iarge to the Minneapolis convention. They arc: Richard W. Thompson, of Terra Haute; Xewland T. Dcl'auw, of New Albany; Stanton J. Peelle, of Indianapolis; J. IT. McXceley, of Evansville; Calvin Cowgill, of "Wabash; William Elliott, of New Castle. Knox is a colored barber. All except the 17 delegates from Ft. Wayne or Allen county are in lavor of Harrison's renomination. The latter are for Greshaai or anybody that will beat Har rison. The convention was not enthusi astic, and the counties were only partly represented, except Allen county, and that was full and defiant, and evidently primed or a low, w'ch broke out when the reso lutions indorsing Harrison were read. Ex Conresman White then took the floor, taying: Obj-ction to tlio Harrison Taffy. "The majoritvof the resolutions are favor able to the Allen county delegation, but we object to that portion of the report instruct ing the delegates to vote and work for Har rison at the Minneapolis convention. Be fore Benjamin Harrison took the Presi dental rhairjie was held in the highest es teem by tne people of this State. If he had lived up to his promises and treated hiv " "Sit down!" howled a thousand men. "He has kept his promises!" "Throw him out!" Chairman Sayre pounded the table. The delegates stood on chairs, and the spectators in ihe gallery craned their necks to get a glimpse of the rumpus. When quiet was partly restored Mr. White continued: "Had Harrison con ducted himelf in a proper spirit I will ven ture to say there would not be a dissenting voice in this con " A Scene Verging on Violence. "There is no dissenting voice!" again broke in the delegates, who seemed a unit for Harrison. "Throw him out!" "Hurrah for Harrison!" The scene was now verging upon violence, and each delegate attempted to get near the toeaker from Ft, Wayne. Congressman Cheadle got the attention of the Chair, and when the tumult bad subsided he turned his back to the stage and in a voice of thunder iaid: "The man whoTias this floor is one of the most prominent citizens of Allen county, and received 1,300 more votes in that county than Harrison himself. I trust no Republican will stoop so low as to refuse him a hearing." "That kills you, Cheadle," yelled a dele gate ironi the Tenth, who recalled the fact that the Congressman is seeking a renomina tion lor Congress in a Harrison hot-bed. Again Mr. White, who had been pacing up and down the aisle while the delegates heaped all sorts of abuse upon him, secured a hearing, and was ordered by the Chair to proceed. Not at All a Personal Matter. "I have nothing to bay against General Harrison personally," he continued, with firm voice, "but why do you insist on send ing these delegates to Minneapolis, in structed to vote lor Harrison? If you per sist in such underhand schemes to make a machine of State politics you will lose the seat by 5,010 at tho next election. You talk about the policy of" His&cs.hoots and Jeers had met every word the speaker uttered, and amid the wildest confusion ho was compelled to stop and again resume hi "constitutional" back and forth in the aisle. Delegate Clavpool arose to a point of order, and after veiling loudly he (jot the eye of tlio Chair, lie asserted that tho speaker had the floor to discuss the report of the Committee on Resolutions, and not to attack President Harrison. A third time Mr. White was ordered to rip ahead, nnd swinging his arms savagely, he said: "We want these delegates sent to Minneapolis freo to do as they please, and not bound hand and foot to support anyone. We want them sent there to carry the party to victory, and not to defeat. As sure as President Hrrrlson is" lilto a Hard Man to Down. "Go and lie down!" "Hurrah for Har rison!" "What's tho matter with Har rison!" yelled the delegates. "l'ou talk about the administration being pure," said White, between the hisses and hooting of the convention. "Why, there is not an atom of" It seemed useless to attempt to keep order. The convention was in a ferment of rage. and -would not tolerate the abuse which Captain White was heaping upon their favorite. Then Allen county's delegation looked frightened, but a delegate got a hear ing and said: "The novelty of this sltnation is wonder ful. Let us hear this man out. Let him run down." "No, lie's too windy. Throw him out!" came from the rear of tho room. "We'd like to know the brand of his main spring before we consent to stay nnttl he Is run down," suggested a delegate from the Second district. "Waterburyf' came the reply from all over the hall. White again spoke: "Ton talk about the 11 HODSIERVILLE. purity and management of this Harrison administration. It is all nonsense. Let me tell you that this is only a part or this great country. The administration deserves the severest denunciation for the manner " Centura for tho Outspoken Speaker. The most deafening roars filled the great hall, and the delegates Jumped over chairs and crowded about the daring speaker. It was a scene that baffled description, and actual violence did not seem far remote. Conservative ones rushed about, keening the men in their places. Finally a delegate got the floor, and. making a point of order, said: "This is a Republican conventlon.and not a meeting to hear tho venting of per sonal spite and hatred. It Is not a place to listen to Democratic speeches; not a place where a man can come and spit out his fllth and venom in the faces of good Republicans. He should be censured, and" But once more the delegates were splitting the air with their voices. Then ex-Senator Huhbell, rising in all his wealth, drow his cuffs out to the tips of his fingers, as, with a crack of his fist into the palm of his hand, he declared- "I protest against the conduct of the gentleman from Allen county in at tacking President Harrison, but let us hear him out. We stand hero upon the record of Harrison, but It is a disgrace for men to conduct themselves In this manner." White Anally yielded, exclaiming: "I sit down because I am forced to. The minority has no rights here. Let me say to you that Indiana went Democratic at the last State election by 20 000, but mark mo now, if Ben jamin Harrison is nominated we will roll up 33.000 against him." The Allen county delegation wenthomc in bad humor, and they did not hesitate to say that enough Republicans In their county would stay at home on election day to de leat the Republican Presidental ticket. UNCLE JERRY RUSK'S BOOM. KOKTHWESTEKN SENATORS HIM. FOR rKESlDENT. FAVOR A Number of Them Think He Is Just the Han Qualifications for Any Position A Desirable Candidate for Those Who Don't Admire Harrison. Washington, March 10. Special. Eminent Republicans, casting about for Presidental timber other than President Harrison, have discussed as a possibility Jeremiah McLane Busk, Secretary of the Department of Agriculture. Several Ke publican Congressmen of prominence to night gave to The Dispatch correspond ent their views as to the Presidental nomi nation, as follows: Senator Washburn, of Minnesota Secre tarv Rusk would be a strong candidate all through the Northwest. He lias elements of strength which commend him to the peo ple who work for their living. Now that Blaine has indicated to his friends that he does noi desire the nomination there is a strong feeling in behalf of Uncle Jerry. Senator Sanders, of Montana I do not like to commit invself on tne Presidental a ues tionjust yet, but I must admit that Uncle Jerrv Rusk would make a very desirable candidate. He wa agood soldier, a success ful Governor, and his administration of tho Department of JVtriicultnre shows that he has tho qualifications to fill any office within the gilt of tle people, even the Presidency. Senator Mitchell, of Oregon If it Is to be a free-for-all race I don't see whv Uncle Jerry should not stand a very good chance to capture the nomination. Senator Paddock, of Nebraska I do not think Secretary Rusk has any idea nor any desire to be a candidate. He is one of the most loyal friends of the President, hopes for and expects his nomination, and believes him to be verv strong with the people everywhere. Idonotbelicvehe wouldallow Ills name to bo used. I consider Mr. Rusk one of the most popular men in the country to-day, and if a contingency should arise making his nomination necessary he would make a grand run and could he easily elected. However, it will not happen. Rusk lias more fully the confidence and respect, perhaps, of the farmeis of the country than anv of our public men. Ex-Senator Mahone, of Virginia, said he was not interested in making Presidents now, but Secretary Rusk has many good qualities to commend him to the Republican party. PERSONALITIES IN POLITICS. One of the Knife-Drawing Scenes That Are Now Frequent in Alabama. BinJiiNOHAir, Ala., March 10. Special. The bitterness of the campaign ror tbe nomination for Governor between Governor Jones and tbe Alllanco can didatc. Captain Kolb, camo near caus ing bloodshed to-day. Captain Kolb had an appointment in Henderson, and J. F. Stalling?, a lawyer and candidate for Congress and a supporter of Jones, was present to make a speech. He was allowed to open, and Kolb was to follow. Stallings occupied his time in repeating personal charges against Kolb made by the Jones papers. Finally, he reached one involving n false rendering to the State, sworn to by Kolb when Commissioner ot Agriculture. At this point tho audience was startled by a loud voice exclaiming: "That is a willful and malicious lie, and the man whoiepeats it knows It." It came trom Kolb, who was standing near the stand. Stallings stopped. The Kolb men drewthelrpocketknives. The Jones men did the same thing. Pistols were heard to click in overcoat pockets. Stallings resumed: "If I have said anything personal 1 apologize." The men put up their knives. The State 's expecting trouble. Such scenes are growing frequent. HILL WEAK IN OHIO. Another Attempt to Form a David B. Clnb In Columbus Failt. Columbus, O., March 10. Special. The mass meeting for the organization of the David B. Hill Club was held to-night, with but few persons present. Thomas E. Powell was chosen President and ex-Congressman Converse First Vice President, but the small character of the meeting led tho3o gentle men to decline, making the point that younger ant.1 more active men should hold the positions. After begging for their re lease they were permitted to decline, and other officers were chosen. A resolution ias adopted invitlngSenator Hill to stop in Columbus either going or comiug from Savannah, and address the clnb. The meeting was in the nature of solid discouragement for the followers of Senator Hill, and emphasizes the idea that the movement in his behalf, at least so far as Onio is concerned, is concealed beneath a large-sized Gorman boom. XAHSAS PEOPLE'S CONVENTION. Meetings Called to Indorse the Platform of the St. Louis Conference. Topxka, March 10. The Executive Com mittee of the People'?

SPBrsornxn, 111., March in. The Execu tive Committee of the Republican State League held a session at the Leland Hotel, to-day. The session was private. Fifty-live m out of 102 counties were represented, and many candidates or their workers were present. It was decided to hold a State Con vention of the Republican League some time after the Republican National Convention at Minneapolis, and a committee appointed to fix a date and call for the convention. A resolution was adopted requesting the State Convention to favor no repeal of that part of the compulsory education law which requires or allows interference by public officers, with private family or parochical schools. No attempt was made to commit the committee to any candidate for State officers, though the majority were evidently favorable to Pifer and Tanner. MUST RESTRICT PRODUCTION. Blast rurnace In Different Parts of the Country Will Blow Out The Only Remedy for 'Ruinously Low Prices The Situation Shows No Improvement. Cleveland, O., March 10. The Iron Trade MevUu will print to-day responses from 51 of the largest blast furnaces in the conntry to the questions whether they con templated an early blowing out and what remedy they would suggest for the present depressed state of the iron trade. The an swers show that 14 stacks will blow out in the next 30 days, which the Iron Trade Meview o 3 uieaus u rcuuction ui xu,wj kuus a ra in the out put of pig iron. It is about equal to the present excess of production over the amount consumed in manufacture. The furnace men are a unit in the opinion that overproduction is the cause of the an precedentedly low prices prevailing, and al most as unanimous in saying that a general blowing out of stacks i9 the remedy to be applied. Of the 14 stacks that are soon to go out of blaster have blown out since March 1, one Is in the Mahoning Valley and two are in other parts of Ohio; four are in the Sho nango Valley, and two in other parts of Pennsylvania: one In the Chicago district, two In Virginia, one In Tennessee, one in Georeia. The answer of roanv other furnace owners who do not fix a definite date, indi cate that they will shut down within a few weeks if prices are no higher. AN UNSAVORY SCANDAL In Connection With the Expenses ot Con gressional Funeral Junkets. Washington, March 10. Special. An un savory scandal is about to become public in Congress concerning the abuses practiced in saddling the Government with heavy ex penses for a number of recent Congressional and Senatorial funerals. Such expenses are borne by both Houses, from their respective contingent funds, and the detailed items do not usually excite comment or become pub lic unless there is something remarkable about them. The mortality among mem bers and Senators of the present Congress has been frightful and unprecedented, and it is with respect to the funerals of some of these that gossip is now busy at the capital. The cost of the Hearst funeral, last spring,, defrayed out of the Senate contingent fund, is about to be subjected to -violent strain in the payment of certain similarly extrava gant Juneral expenses. The charges at tached to the funeral of the lamented Leonldus C Houk, an honored Southern Re publican Representative from Tennessee, for instance, exceed $2 000, and include $1,200 lor a brass casket,beside photographs, hatbands, services of a stenographer and lunches ad libitum. The expenses of the recently deceased members of House afford similar instances of extravagance. Several members of the House Committee on accounts, whose duty it is to pass upon the funeral bills, are ac cordingly contemplating the introduction of bills to limit such expenditure in the future, in order to prevent the repetition of the abuses that have grown out ot them. NO ADVANCE IN MINERS' WAGES. The Ohio Operators Give Their Ultimatum to Their Employes. Coluxeds, O., March 10. Special. There was a conference of the Ohio miners and operators to-day. The miners were repr- t-feiued by-John McBride, President of tho United Mine Workers; Mr. Nngent, President of the Ohio miners, andFrea Delcher, Frank McKenna and S. E. Holl. The operators were J. S. Morton, President of the Sunday Cteek Coal Company: Calvin Morris, of Ells worth, & Co., and General Manager John son, of the Columbus and Hocking Coal and Iron Company. The operators made a state ment of the conditions tinder which the ma chine mines are now being operated, and stated that, while there would be no reduc tion, an advance in wages was out of tho question. At their recent meeting the Ohio miners voted for an advance of 7 cents a ton in the price for loading coal after ma chines. When the operators had stated their posi tion fnlly tbe representatives of the miners withdrew. It is understood a recommenda tion that prices remain the same as last year will be made and submitted to the miners of the State for their approval. There is con siderable anxiety on the part of the Ohio operators to have the wage qnestion settled for the year. Tbe railroad companies are waiting for a settlement to agree on coal rates, ana tbe operators are waiting on both to close up their contracts for lake ship ments. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A PRIEST.

TWIST OH TRUST- Standard Oil Officials Call a Meeting for the Ayowed Purpose of BOWING BEF0KE THE LAW. The Move Made Necessary by Ohio's Supreme Court Decision! EXPLANATION BY THE ATTORNEY Of the Trust, Who Say3 the Step Probably About to Be Taken JS A MATTER OP CHOICE, K0T PORCE rSPECIAX TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. New York, March 10. H. M. Flagler, Secretary of the Standard Oil Trust, an nounces that a special meeting of the hold ers of the trust certificates will be held at the office of the trust, 26 Broadway, Mon day morning, March 21, to vote upon a resolution to terminate the trust agreement. The announcement was not unexpected. Since the decision of the Supreme Court of Ohio, two weeks ago, against the trust, there have been daily meetings of the influ ential men of the Standard Oil Company here in New York to discuss the situation. The officers oT the Standard Oil Trust are John D. Eockefeller, President; Benjamin Brewster, Treasurer, and H. M. Flagler, Secretary. The Trustees are John D. Rocke feller, William Rockefeller, H. M. Flagler, John D. Archbold, Henrv H. Rogers, Ben jamin Brewster and W. H. Tilford. S. C. T. Dodd, solicitor in charge of all the Standard's lpgal business, explained why it had been thought advisable to have a vote oh a proposition to dissolve tbe trust "The proposed dissolution of the trust," said he, "is due more than anything else to the public outcry against truscs. It is also a direct result of the decision of the Supreme Court of Ohio. The First Decisive Blow. "That decision was the first rendered in any court in the United States that in any way affected the legality of the Standard Trust. It was far different from the decis ions of the New York State Courts against the Sugar Trust, The decisions of the New York courts against the Sugar Trust were effective on the ground that no company or corporation could become a member of a trust as such. That decision did not affect the Standard Trust, as the companies owned by the Standard Oil Company were not mombers of the Standard Trust. The stock holders of the various Standard Oil Com panies merely put their stocks in the hands of trustees, to hold in trust: in other words, the Standard Trust was a trust of personal holders, and not of companies. "The Supreme Court of Ohio, however, has decided that tho Standard Trust In that State was illegal, on the ground that a suf ficient number of stockholders of one com pany had put their stock In the hands of a trnst to give the trust the control of the company. That, in the eyes of the Supreme court ot (Afiio, made tue transaction illegal. That decision,. tbongh, applied only to tbs 'Standard's 'Interest ,, Jn the Bnckevo State Tbe Standard iraif could easily havo recog nized the decision of the court by with drawing the Standard's Ohio interest from the trust, bnt there was a moral effeot of the decision which it has been thought best to recognize. Wants to Abide by the Law. "The Standard has always done Its busi ness in a legal way, and It will continue to do so, and the meeting for March 21 was called In accordance with that rule. Tbe trust could easily have appealed from the Ohio decision to the Supreme Court of the United States, and no doubt a proposition to do so will be one of the important matters to be disenssed at the coming meeting. It is not decided yet that, it would be wise to dis solve the trust. Nothing definite can be said until tbe decision of the certificate holders is announced at the meeting, but if ,the trust is dissolved at that meeting there will be no reorganization, no applying to other States, and nothing bnt a straightfor ward relinquishment of the trnst." jur. jjouu saia mat tne litigation leading up to the decision of tbe Ohio Supreme Court was begun ten years ago, shortly after the trust was organized. Included in the trust were seven companies, the majority of whose stock was owned bv officials of the Standard Oil Company. The business or these companies Is to refine crude petroleum. The companies are situated In New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and Kentucky. Other companies, the majority of whose stock is held in trust by the Standard Trust, are a number of export ing companies, and in addition there is the National Transit Company, with a pipe line system from the Pennsylvania oil regions to New York and other points on the Atlantic seabbard, and the Buckeye Pipe Line Com pany, with depositories in Ohio and on the Pennsylvania and lake borders. There Is also a natuial gas company in Indiana. Capital of the Combination. The total capital of the combined com panies, as represented In the Standard trust, is $93,000,000. In the last ten days the trust certificates have advanced from 169 to 169. Two years ago, before a stock dividend was declared, the certificates sold at 235. The conditions of the trust, according to Solicitor Dodd, provido that the trust may be terminated at any time within ten years from the date of its organization.. It was not made obligatory that such a course should be adopted; the matter was to be left to the discretion of the certificate holders. At the time the trust was organized there were 30 certificate holders. There are now about 2,000, scattered over tbe United States and Europe. Should the majority decide to dissolve the trnst, all certificate holders will have an equity in all tbe companies domi nated by the Standard Oil Company, Fur thermore, should the trust he dissolved, all the companies will be run as separate com panies, as before the organization of the trust. The controlling interest will then necessarily be In lew hands as compared to the present largo number interested In the welfare of the trust. For eight years the trust has paid S per cent quarterly on the investment. The Standard Oil Company was organized in Ohio In 1870, ly H. M. .Flagler and John D. Rockefeller, and from their exertions and energies the present gigantic enterprise sprang. The export trade of the Standard now amonts to two-thirds of the total busi ness. Cheapness Under a Trnst. "If refined petroleum was marketed to day, as in 1871," concluded Mr. Dodd, "there would be an increased cost to the public of $200,000,000 a year. Every known improvement for cheapening the cost of refined oil has been eargerly seized by the management, not from philanthroplo motives, but from the best business motives." Some of tbe banks In Wall street hold Standard trust certificates as collateral for loans. Several of the bank -officials were concerned over the proposed dissolution of the trust, fearing it would affect the valne of their collateral. They were, however, officially and authoritatively informed that whatever steps are taken at tbe meeting the value of tbe certificates will not be affected, as tbe holders will have a pro rata share in all the profits of tbe refineries and other companies in the Standard Oil Company. STATE WOELD'S FAIE C0KKISSI0NEBS. Commissioner Whitman Resigns Modifica tion of Elans or the 6tate Building. Harrisbcrq. March 10. The qnestion of the erection of the Pennsylvania building at Chicago occupied tbe attention of the Exec utive Committee of tbe World' Fair Board to-day.

Bnt for All That There Is Activity at the Mare Island Navy Yard Awaiting a Reply From Lord Salisbury Morgan's Retaliatory Scheme. "Washington-, March 10. Special The .Senate adjourned over to-day until Monday, and there will therefore be no further discussion of the Bering Sea contro versy until next week. The subject did not come up in the Senate to-day, but it was in formal talked over in the Foreign Affairs Committee. The question will be further considered there during the next few days, and it is hoped that in the meantime some reply will be received from Lord Salisbury relative to his intentions as to the renewal of the modus vivendi. Senators Sherman and Morgan, the most influential members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, are more strongly con vinced now than ever before that the arbi tration should bo ratified, no matter what the nature of Salisbury's reply maybe, and they will endeavor to" secure a favorable re port from the committee and action in the Senate at an early day. While the question of a treaty of arbitra tion is being discussed the policy of retalia tion against Canada, which has become so very popular within the past few days, will not be lost sight of. On the contrary, there are Senators on both sides of tho chamber who believe that tbe proper way to adjust the difficulties with England is by depriving Canada of the'nrgcnt commercial privileges which she now enjoys, and who will use every endeavor to bring the subject to the attention of the Senate. Senator Morgan, the author of the resolu tion of retaliation submitted yesterday, said to-day that it was based on the principle laid down in the message which President Cleveland sent to Congress in the summer of 1888, and that he thinks the sentiment of tbe Senate is favorable to its adoption at this time. Mr. Morgan hopes, be says, to havo the resolution out of the committee in time to be called up for discnsslon In the Senate not later than Wednesday next. Senator C'ulloru, Chairman of the Commit tee on Interstate Commerce, has, It Is un derstood, become a convert to the plan of shutting off Canadian railroads from trans acting business in this conntry unless they are specially licensed to do so. When dis crimination is practiced under tnls system the license can be revoked, and the roads thus brought to terms. This policy has long been a favorite one with some of the representatives of American railroads, andhasseveial times been brought to the attention of Congressional committees but so far withont results. A telegram lrom San Francisco says: The anticipated activity in Bering Sea this sum mer has caused some little stir at Mare Island. The Adams and Ranger are being made ready for duty as rapidly as possible, and men are being worked upon the Raqger overtime. The Albatross, which was pre paring to make another sounding for the proposed Hawaiian cable, has been ordered to cease work in that direction. It is sup posed the ship is intended torduty in North ern waters. The cruisers Charleston and Baltimore are still at Mare Island and ready for service. TEICHINOSIS IN B0L0ONA. More of It to the Acre Than New England s w-e- EVr-Kh'ew Before. - Sbxlburke Falls, Mass., March 10. Spe cial. In the litfle hamlet of Willis Place, in the township of Colrain, there is concen trated more trichinosis to the square acre than was ever before known to exist in New England. It is a cotton manufacturing vil lage, and most of its 200 inhabitants are mill operatives, French Canadians and Bava rians. During the latter part of January and early in February a 'large number of tbe adult employes of the anlll were taken seri ously sick, tbe symptoms being purging, nausea, prostration, followed by pain and stiffness of the limbs, swelling of the face nnd high fever. Investigation showed that all those who were sick had shortly before eaten quite freely of bologna sausage. Furtber investigation showed that the sick were afflicted with trichinosis. There were SO cases, and three of the victims have died. The others aie still seriously ill, but no more deaths are expected. MERCIER A SICK MAN. For All .That, He Is Threatened. With Ar rest, as Well as the Minor Boodlers. Quebec. Que., March 10. The Conservative organs announce that-it is the intention of Mr. Cosgraln, the Attorney General, to at once take out warrants for the arrest of Mr. Mercier and all the minor boodlers, and to prosecute them to the full extent of the law. Intimate friends of the ex-Premier say that he is a very sick man. The excitement and worry of the campaign, combined with other causes, have made fearful lnroadu upon his constitution, and it is not likely he will ever again take a prominent part In public life. ' A BOOM FOB AMEEICAN TIN. The St. Louis Concern Turning Ont Nearly Thirty Thousand Tons of It a Day. St. Louis, March 10. iSfcjerfa!. The St. Louis Stamping "Company to-day entered into a contract to supply tin for tho roof ing or tbe new Union depot.

Germany's Starving Thonsands Cry for Work or Bread, BUT ONLY A FEW-SECURE EITHEB. France and Spain Ratify Their Treaties With Uncle am. SIMPATHT FOE MBS. CAPT. OSBORNE London, March 10. A story has reached here that has caused many expressions of deep indignation by the English papers. To the westward of County Mayo, Ireland, there lies in the Atlantic a small patch of land known as Clare Island. The inhabi tants are mostly fishermen and are miser ably poor. A number of them ran into debt and their creditors took legal proceed ings against them and sent bailiffs to seize the few cattle owned by the debtors to sat isfy the claims against them. The islanders resisted the bailiffs, and as a result 80 of them were summoned to answer at Louis burg, the nearest town on the mainland, in County Mayo, for resisting officers of the law. The 80 islanders obeyed the summonses and presented themselves before the magis trate. They all appeared to be in a starv ing condition and their thin garments af forded them little protection from inclem ent weather. The magistrate listened to the testimony of tha bailiffs and then calmly ordered that the further hearing of the case be held the next day at the court house in "Westport, 13 miles distant Driven Almost to Death. To reach "Westport in time for the hear ing it was necessary for the islanders to start that night. They had no money to pay for conveyances, and were compelled to walk tbe entire distance over a road that is none too good in fine weather. That night a blinding snowstorm set In. The road runs along the ocean, and the poor people stumb ling along in tbe darkness were exposed to the full fury of a stinging gale that swept inland from the sea. Many of the poorly clad islanders, weak ened by their long abstinence from nourish ing food, fell by tbe roadside unable to pro ceed, and would have perished had it not been lor the kind-hearted villagers along the route who, when they learned of their sufferings, went to their assistance, and se cured them food and shelter. Of the women in the party not a single one of them had strength enough to drag her weary limbs to Westport. The men who reached the town at once proceeded to the Court House and presented themselves before the Magistrates there sitting to hear the case. Many or the islanders were almost completely exhausted by their long and toilsome Journey, and all ot them were famished and half frozen. English Justice Is Like Russia's. When the magistrates learned, that all tbe men summoned were not present they were incensed at what they pleased to term dis respect' for the law. They held forth at great length upon the strong arm of the law; that all, rich and poor alike, were amenable to its provisions. Then they spoke of the great goodness of the Crown how it tem pered Justice with mercy, and after dwelling upon this subjeot to the painfnl edification of the shivering wretches before them, they announced that as the defendants had pleaded guilty to the charge against them the Crown would extend Its clemency to them. The Court then ordered that the men be liberated upon giving bail for their good behavior. Tbe dispatch does not state whether the ball demanded was furnished, bnt as the islanders were not known In Westport, and asthevhave nothing of valne of their own. theprobabllltles are that the bonds were not furnished. Many of the Clare Islanders, though ostensibly fisherman, have neither boats nor nets to follow their vocation. All the male defendants In this case have been enabled during the winter to earn a little money by employment on relief works, the employment being given to them as a mat ter of charity. BIS HIS WIFE FABEWELL. The Farting of Captain Qsborne and Bis Wire Kxeeedingly Affecting. London, March 10. All the newspapers approve of the verdict in the Osborne case. Correspondents of the papers, however, mostly speak of tbe punishment as too se vere, and some go so tar as to offer to go to prison in Mrs Osborne's place, if the law permits a substitution. It is understood that Mrs. Osborne will be under medical care throughout her impris onment, and that no attempt will be made to require any labor trom her. She will be engaged within a few weeks with duties which have already been Indicated by tbe statements in the case. Captain Osborne had a parting interview with his wife before she was taken to prison. It Is said to have been of a deeply affecting character.

Berlin, March 10. Meetings were held in Lelpsio to-day at which 2,600 men out of em ployment were present. The distressing, state of affairs in that city was fnlly dis cussed, and a number of plans for bettering the condition of tho workingmen were de bated. It was finally decided that delegates should bo sent to the municipal authorities asking that public works for the relief of the distressed be immediately started. In Cologne 100 destitute men were to-day given employment on relief works started by tbe city officials. It was found impos sible to supply work to more than a com paratively small number ot all the great crowd of Impoverished men who besieged the authorities begging to be given a chance to earna little money with which theymlght purchas i food for themselves and their starv ing families. The authorities, however, de spite their efforts to fin d places for as many of the applicants as they could possibly put to work, were forced to turn away hundreds of tbe clamoring workmen. Those who failed to obtain employment then formed themselves Into a procesIon -l marched in a body to the Town Hall.

The processionists acted in an orderly manner throughout and when the Burgo master had finished speaking they cheered him heartily and then dispersed. At Dortmund, a town of Prussia, In West phalia, much suffering also exists among the laboring classes. Over 2,000 men em ployed In the iron works at that place have ,. been thrown out or work within a week and left without any means. Many more of the employes have received notice that their services may have" to he dispensed with within a short time, as there are indications of trade paralysis, and all the works may have to shut down entirely. A dispatch from Vienna says the new sys tem of relief distribution under police su pervision is working well. Tbe distribution proceeds in an orderly manner and all ap plicants are supplied. Twenty-four hun dred unemployed laborers have been put to work clearing away snow at 2 pence an hour. ETJSSIA'S FAMISHED CHILDEEN. Belief Works Started by the Government Forests to Be Felled.

Stearley, of the Hough Avenue Reformed Church, and Miss Grace McKInney, daughter of a prominent local Jurist, were married at tffe Eliza Jen nings Home for Incurables. Something of the story of Miss McKInney was recently made public by reason of the unfortunate divorce case pending between her parents. She is 17 years old and has a magnificent voice. She Is a charming and accomplished young lady. As Is known, she prepared for the operatio stage and was connected for a short time with the Conreld Opera Com pany, until she became ill a few months ago, when she was placed in a hospital In this city. She and Rev. Mr. Stearlev, who is tbe youngest pastor in the city, became acquainted, and her re covery being confidently expected, they be came engaged to be married.

She was taken to the Eliza Jennings Home, and 'there to-day, by tho desire of the young conpie, tne marriage ceremony was per formed at the bedside by the Rev. Dr. E. O. Buxton, of the Franklin Avenue M. E. Church. The death of tbe young lady Is expected at any time. Her husband is constantly by her side, and awaits the death of his bride.

THREE CENT& WITHOUT ft SCRATCH- The Appropriation Ordinance Is Eailroaded Through City Councils. MANY USELESS PROTESTS Made by the Mere Handful of Reform Members in Each Branch. IT TOOK UNTIL NEAR MIDNIGHT, But the Battle, While Lively, Was a Tery One-Sided Contest. THE DISPUTE LIVELIEST OX PAEKS Without the change of a single letter or figure the appropriation ordinance, as con structed by the Finance Committee, passed both branches of Councils yesterday, and will in all probability be signed by the Mayor in a correspondingly short time. This action was not without opposition, though the result could be told to almost a certainty at the start Twenty-nine mem bers of Common and 28 of Select stood together in the firm determination that the ordinance should pass. They voted solidly against every amendment offered and at the wind-up their ranks were unbroken. The scenes in both branches were animated at times. Discussions were' at one moment broad and humorous and the next cutting and personal. Several times open assertions of fraud and scheming were made and in one case things grew so lively that the citizen spec tators clapped their hands with delight. It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon when the bill was taken up in one branch, and 10:30 o'clock at night when the last man cast his Tote on it in the other. The Rush t- Suspend the Bules. Common Council was called for 2 o'clock, but it was an hour later when Chairman Holliday rapped tor order owing to the de lay in the printing of the ordinance. 3Ir. Magee, of the Finance Committee, pre sented the ordinance, amotion that the rules be suspended, placing it on second and third readings and final passage. Mr. MacGonigle I move to amend this and hold the ordinance over, making it the special order of business for a meeting Monday afternoon. 2fone of the members have bod time to study the various features of the bilL This amendment was snowed under by a large majority. jMr. O'Donnell then of fered an amendment that the ordinance be only placed on second reading. This mo tion was lost by a vote of 29 to 11. Mr. Magee's motion passed, and the Chair read the ordinance, section by section, with the understanding that when there were no ob jections to a section it would be considered satisfactory. There were no points raised until the item of 175,900 for the Bureau of "Water Supply and Distribution ra reached. Then the first lively tilt of the afternoon began. Blgham Enters an Objection. Mr. Bigham I want to enter an objec tion against the appropriation of ?75,00O for the purchase of ground for an additional reservoir, and mone that this bureau bo limited to $100,900. This new basin will not be needed tor at least two years. It is bad policy to purchase property not needed at present. If the cut is made and the park appropriation is reduced, taxes can be cut down one mill. Mr. Ferguson The' TWervolr, if needed, can be placed in Schenley Part, and the purchase of property Is not necessary. Mr. Magee The purchase of this land will become necessary before long and theilty had better get It no w. Mr. Wriabt East year when we were con sidering appropriations It was stated that we had water facilities sufficient to supply London. Mr. Ferguson This Is another plan like the appropriation of $100,000 last year for a Southslde bridge, Just to allow tbe money to lie In city depositories where omebody gets the benefit of the Interest. Not a cent comes to the city. A large amount of the money appropriated for that repavlng is now serving a similar purpose. It comes handy sometimes, doesn't It? Of course, it Is the intention to hustle thi3 ordi nance through like greased lightning, but I'm prepared to fight it anyhow. Practically a Two-MM Increase. Mr. Bigham It Is a mistake to use money for things not absolutely necessary. We have practically a two-mill increase In taxa tion this year. Mr. MacGonlile There is no much use talking against 23 out of 10 votes, but never theless I want to be put on record as voting against this useless expendltu.'c. The city does not need a new water basin. Its en gines will not even keep tbe present one3 anywhere near full. If another baoin even shonld be necessary, there are 200 acres about tbe Highland reservoir which the city owns and has no other use for. Mr. Bigham's amendment was tben pnt to vote and lost by 27 to 13, as follows. Ayes Messrs. Anslocn, Brown, Crawford. Donley, Delaney, Dnnn, Elliott, Ertzman, Fox, Gallngher, Groetzlnger, Hasmaler, Johnston, King, Lowrv, Magee. Maon, Mc Carthy, McClure, McGuire, O'Connor, Pit cairn, Pfeifer, Hannan, Taggart, Vogt and Wallace. Noes Messrs. Bteham, Ferguson, Jarrett, Earkln, Metcalfe. McEIdownev. MaeGonlgle, O'Donnell. Russell. Stewart, Wilson, Wrirht and President Holliday. The item of $187,850 for public lighting was the next thing to cause a discussion. Mr. Ferguson 1 should like to know what has raised the public light figure from $104, 000 of a year or two ago to the present de mand. Mr. Magee I can answer that. The city has been transformed in five years' from one of the poorest lighted places in the world to one of the best. The Item of New Lamps. Mr. Ferguson I fall to see anything so fine about our street lighting. There Is another thing I object to. That Is the appropriation of $3,000 lor new lamps. Some years ago. when, cbe electric light companies were granted a contract, Councilmen were given to understand that the agreement contained a clause requiring the companies to keep all street lamps in repair and replace any that were destroyed. Recently the Controller discovered that there was no such clause. However, we still have plenty of old lamps. The speaker could not eta second to a motion to strike out the $3,000 Item. Chair man Hollldav next read the item of $307,000 for parks. In an instant half a dozen mem bers were clamoring tor tbe floor. Mr. Bigham Thi3 appropriation Is too much and I move that it be reduced to $100, 000. There is no use improving tbe parks all at once. It is the intention to spend $75,000 for more land. We now have one park of ' 00 acres and another of 300 acres, both in tho East End. What need there of additions to either of them? W . , - Mr. Wright-W'm opposed to the lavish expenditure oj oney oi. parks. It Is tbe intention toshd $6,000 for a New York; man to make plans. He has already been employed a year and had time to make plans lor a dozen Schenley parks. Parks on the Brain. Mr. Ferguson The Chief of the Depart ment of Public Works has parks on tho brain. He seems to believe that unless there are several hundred thousand dollars to spend on improving them the city cannot get along. Some months ago I put In a reso lution to improve Snyder's Park, a little plot of ground in the Twelfth ward, pre sented to the city by Mrs. Denny, and I fail to find any appropriation for it. Some inter cstea parties do not happen to own any property near Snyder's Park: Property speculators, and not the In terests ox tho people, are back: ! ) J 1 1 ni ... j
