London', April 15. The revelations
nade in evidence on the state of the British
irmy, given before the Committee of In
quiry presided over by Lord 'Wantage, have
been the sensation, of the week. The
recommendation"! which the committee
previously published were a series of dry
and formal propositions indicating nothing
of the extraordinary statements of the
leading military chiefs. These were ot
such a nature as will lead to the most active
imitation in Parliament as soon as the
recess is over.
A group of military members of the
House of Commons have already seen "War
Secretary Stanhope privately and extorted
from him a promise that the Government
shall not obstruct a full discussion and
sequent reform The generals examined
concurred in the opinior. that there was
hardly a single infantry battalion at home
that is effective.
Can't Mobilize an Army Corp..
Adjutant General Sir Evelyn "Wood de
clared that 50 per cent of the men encamped
at Aldershot were unfit for camp dnties;
that they could not even do a day's service
ri account of their vouth and lack of
stamina, and that the only practice he dared
to put such men to was two hours carrying
(He pack or sentrv dutv. The Duke of Cam
bridee, Commander in Cl.ief, indorsed the
startling statement, adding that if railed
upon to mobilize two army corps on short
notice the authorities could not do so, and
he did not think it Dossible to mobilize one
corps composed of 23 battalions of infantry.
Lord "Wolsely, in response to a question
whether the battalions as they now stand
would be fit for home defense, replied: "If
we were inaded to-morrow they would be
hettcr than nothing." He held that the
volunteer force was the most important fac
tor in defense. Tiie Duke of Connaught
jaid: "I am perfectly certain that if the
battalion uuder my command at Ports
mouth were ordered to service to-morrow
one-half of them would not be allowed to go
on account of unfitness."
The Home Force a ?qneez?d Lemon.
The main caue of the weakness of home
Vnttalions is stated to be depletion of their
hrt men for foreign and colonial service.
L rd Wolsely likened the home forces to a
squeezed lemon. The Duke of Connaught
Leld that crown men would not join the
te-vice, owing to the fact that wearers of
the Queen's uniform are socially ostracised,
BJd also because soldiers are wantonly bur
dened with excessive sentry dutry. He told
how, having noticed the numerous guards
employed at "Windsor Castle on sentry duty,
be had induced the Qneen to ask the au
thorities to reduce their number and other-
lse to relieve the men, but the authorities
would not assent until stroug pressure was
bi lught to bear.
The Duke ol Connaught related a number
of instances showing the contempt in which
the soldier's unilonn is held. In one case
drummers refused to drink at a 6teamer oar
beside a sergeant, and in other cases inns
ilosed their rooms to guards. In regard to
methods of reform, there was a concensus of
ipiuiou that a substantial increase ot the
trength of home battalions would come
rom liberal pay and better pensions.
Views differed on the period of service but
agreed ou the need of periodic trading for
reserve men, now proved with volunteers
to be the sole reliance in the event of war.
England Stlrrinc Up Eastern Trouble.
Following his diplomatic success in re
nrd to the firman of investiture of the
Khedive, Lord Salisbury has clinched his
-old on the Khedive by inciting him to an
pen quarrel with the Sultan. In response
n the Sultan's invitation to Constantino
ple, the Khedive intimated that the recall
f MouLhtar Pasha, the Porte's delegate at
airo, was first desirable. Moukhtar
Pasha made the mistake of demanding a
'hanae in the Ezvptian Ministry.
The English Minister, Sir Evelyn Barintr, J
hereupon pot Hie Ivueuive to wire to the
sultan that Moukhtar Paha had arrogantly
nterfercd in Egyptian affairs and ought to
ie withdrawn. As a further proof of his
icceptance of English dominance, the Khe
iive will send his onlv brother, Mchemet
Ali, now at school in Vienna, to finish his
duration in England.
Communications passing between Mr.
Gladstone and a committee of his constitu--nts
in Midlothian, have elicited from Mr.

RAVACHOL'S FOUL PLOT.
Its Story Made I'abllo In tbo Indictment
A Judge and a Prosecntor the First
Objects of "Anarchist KevenEe Maklnfj
Bombs From a Keclpo.
Paris, April 15. The indictment of
Bavachol, the Anarchist, and his five ac
complices, including Mariette Loubert, the
sweetheart of Beallott, one of the accom
plices who was arrested to-day, gave the
first connected history of the conspiracy in
which the prisoners were implicated. The
story opens in April, 1891, when Decamp,
an associate of Chaumartin, was convicted
of wounding a policeman in an affray. The
plotters met at Chaumartin's. house and ar
ranged a programme of revenge.
The first victims selected were Judge
Benoit, who presided at the trial that re
sulted in Decamp's conviction, and M.
Boulot, who prosecuted him. The indict
ment details the storv of making the bombs
by Itavachol, who filled them with a mix
ture of dynamite, grisoutine and bits of
iron. The conspirators also planned to
blow up the police station at Clichy, March
7. Eavachol, Simon and Thealot went to
the police station carrying with them a
saucepan loaded with dynamite, and they
had a number of fuses ready for use. When
they arrived at the station they found an
officer standing in the doorway, and his
presence foiled their design.
The indictment next details the explosion
at the residence of Judge Benoit, and how,
failing to kill the Judge, they made a
second attempt: how Bavachol and his fel
low conspirators, working by recipes they
had procured from the International (news
paper), made a bomb and filled it with nitro
glycerine, mining powder and sebastine.
The evidence of a woman named Chevalier
is embodied in the indictment. She de
scribes how, upon entering the room in
which the conspirators were at work, she
saw Simon holding a vessel as large as the
crown of a hat, while Eavachol was pour
ing drops of something into the receptacle.
Chaumartin was stirring the mixture with a
spoon. Bavachol, the indictment states,
effected the explosion alone at the residence
of Prosecntor Boulot, He placed the ex
plosive compound under the staircase in the
belief that none of the inmates of the house
could possibly escape death. The indict
ment also reveals the tact that the prisoners
were engaged in a plot to blow up the
Palace ol Justice at a time when it was
most crowded.
Oar Quarrel With Spain Settled.
Madkid, April 15. The difficulty re
garding American missionaries in the Caro
line Islands has been satisfactorily ar
ranged. Spain -consents to the return of the
missionaries to the islands, and agrees that
they shall not be hampered in their mission
ary work provided they do not interfere
with local Government matters.
Franco Keeping an Eye on the Priests.
Paris, April 15. M. Bicard, Minister ot
Justice, has sent a letter to the prefects
throughout France directing them to report
any disturbances that occur in the churches
within their respective jurisdictions, and to
forbid the priests to criticise the laws or the
acts of the Government
KOI AFBAID OF BAB0N BE 8TEUBS.
Bis Lute Wife and Her 'ew Hnsbana Pack
TJp and btart for Europe.
Chicago, April 15. Mr. and Mrs.
Elliott Zborosky have given up their inten
tion of going to the Sandwich Islands, and
have decided to take a trip to Europe, de
spite the fact that Baron de Stenrs is sup
posed to be in Paris awaiting just such an
opportunity to meet Mr. Zborosky, and
give him a piece of his mind.
Mr. Zborosky, who has been liv
ing at the Auditorium ever since
his wife received her divorce in Sioux Falls
from the Baron, called upon United States
Commissioner Hoyne this afternoon and
made application for passports for himself
and wile to go to Europe. The applica
tions were forwarded to the State Depart
ment and will be returned in a few days.
Mr. Zborosky is said to be a fighter, and
to entertain a desire to meet the Baron on
the field of honor if the Baron so pleases.
It is also said that he and his wife are going
abroad just to show the Baron that they are
not afraid of him, and are indifferent to his
efforts to secure a rehearing in the divorce
cae. However, if the Zboroskys place foot
upon the soil of the Baron's native land he
can, it is said, under the laws of his coun
try, compel his ex-wile to return to him.
The laws in the Netherlands are said not to
recogniz- divorces obtained in foreign
countries, and the Zboroskys, in thai
event, might be compelled to face a charge
ot bigamy if they get into the Baron's terri
tory CHICAGO WANTS NO LOAN.
If Uncle Sam Helps In No Other Way Hts
Aid Will Probably Be Dispensed With.
Chicago, April 15. "World's Fair Direc
tors "Winston and Odcll returned this even,
ing from "Washington. Mr "Winston says
they had been in "Washington but a short
time when they discovered that Congress
would not vote money for stock in the Ex
position. Therefore, he and his colleagues
changed tactics and told Chairman Durbor
row and his committee that a loan would be
accepted.
President Higinbothan, however, says the
directory will not accept a loan. "Chicago
cannot afford to put itself in that position,"
he says. "If the Government thinks it is
not responsible for any part of the Exposi
tion's success, we shall have to go ahead
and complete the work ourselves. TVe can't
afford to borrow from the Government
That would take away the national charac
ter of the Exposition and make it appear to
be a private enterprise dependent on public
bounty." A meeting of the directory is to
be held, when the matter will probably
come up for settlement

St. Louis, April 15. Special Of the
Hall-Fitzsimmons fight Sullivan said: "If
Fitz fights Hall at catch weights his goose

Fitz, punches harder and is undoubtedly
earner. It will be a lair fisht, but Hall will

LADY MANAGERS DOING WELL.
Nearly 400 Pennsylvania Firms Hare Al

PLENTY OP IRON IET TO BE PLACED
rSPECHt. TXLIOBAM TO THE EISrATCa.l
Chicago, April IS. The Thomson
Houston eleotrio combine baa been de
feated in its attempt to bleed the "World's
Fair. "When bids for incandescent' lights
were opened several weeks ago it was
found that the combine demanded three
timefes much for the service as the lowest
bidder. Ninety-two thousand incandescent
lamps of 16-candle power each are to be
used, in addition to 8,000 aro lamps of 2,000
candle power each. The Southside Metal
and Machine "Works of this city agree to
furnish the 92,000 lamps for 1572,240, or
?6 22 per lamp. The combine, which in
cludes the Brush, Fort Wayne, Excelsior,
Edison and a number of other companies,
wanted S1.802,000 for the work, or 518 50 a
lamn Thi ThnmnnnH nnar.nn nnnl hflm
lamp. The Thomson-Honston people have
concluded that thev cannot afford to lose
the contract, and they have, therefore, low
ered their price to something like $8 a lamp.
The World's Fair managers will save about
$1,000,000. The Southside Metal and Ma
chine "Works was supported in its fight
against the Thomson-Honston combine by
the New York Insulated "Wire Company,
and the "Westinghouse, National and
Electrical companies, as well as the La
Roche Company of Philadelphia. The
firms that helped in the defeat of the com
bine will undoubtedly get a liberal share of
the lighting business.
What the Women Are Doing.
The most important thing done bv the
lady managers of the fair for the benefit of
women is the proposed construction of three
dormitories near the "World's Fair grounds
lor tne exclusive accommodation ot working
women. It is estimated that 50,000 women
of this class would attend the fair if they
could be sure ot securing lodging places
within their means; it would be out of the
question for them to come to Chicago with
the expectation of putting up at the average
hotel or boarding house. The plans for one
of these hotels for women have been
prepared. It will be something like
150x450 feet in size, with accommodations
for 5,000 women at once. It will be two
stories high, and the rooms will be arranged
around an inner court like those of Spanish
houses. This will be 100x40 feet in size.
It will have a lawn, with fountains, shrub
bery, etc. The occupants of the building,
when too tired to spend the time on the
fair grounds, may spend the day amid grass
and flowers with perfect seclusion from
observation. The building will, of
course, contain mainly sleeping rooms, the
smallest not less than 10x6 feet. There will
be four large rooms at the angles of the
building, fitted up with writing desks,
tables and writing materials, books and
daily paners from the principal cities. These
drawing rooms will have pretty mantels and
fireplaces; there will be no provision for fire
in any other part of the building. Cooking
will not be allowed within the fauilding.bnt
it is possible that a kitchen will be con
structed near at hand, from which simple
meals will be furnished at cost
This building will be located on a plat of
ground donated by George M Pullman, two
blocks and a half north of the north entrance
to Jackson Park. The front will be toward
Lake Michigan, and all the lakes of the
Fair grounds will be within the vision
toward the south. The location of the other
three buildings has not been determined,
but it is expected that sites will be obtained
in the immediate vicinity of the one now
located.
A Good Thins 'or the Fair Sex,
A room and bed in these hotels will be
furnished for 30 cents a day. The first
preference will be given to those women
who hold stock in the enterprise, for it is
'proposed to place it in the hands directly of
tne women tnemseives Dy organizing a
stock company. Shares will be sold
for $5 a share, and the certificate
of stock will be good for its lace
value in paying for accommodations. If a
guest does not stay long enough to use the
entire $5 worth of stock, she will be allowed
to transfer it to any other acceptable woman.
The business management of the hotels will
be under the control of the Board of Lady
Managers of the "World's Fair, represented
by experienced and competent women.
Two ot the steel arches which are to
support the roof of the Manufactures
building, the largest in the world, are now
in position. They span 380 feet, and give p
height from the floor of 201 feet Their
weight is 200 tons each. The 27 trusses to
be used in the building would furnish
enough material to construct the Brooklyn,
Bridg; wtth 2,400 tons left over. It would
reproduce the St. Louis bridge, with 400 tons
to spare.
The Sunday closing question will be
finally considered by the National Com
mission at it.3 October session. The peti
tions against the opening of the Fair on
Sunday, received to date, number 2,725.
Pennsylvania heads the list with 440, Ohio
sends 221, and "West Virginia 7.
A Bestlnc; pot for Tired Mothers.
A children's home, or pavilion, has been
planned for the used of tired mothers during
the Fdi-. It is designed that the little ones
be left in the care of attendants while the
mothers visit the Exposition buildings. The
lady managers will raise the $10,000 neces
sary to maintain the building during the
Fair, but they have asked the several States
to secure about $20,000 with which to con
struct the building. The amount assigned
to Pennsylvania is $2,000. The same amount
is asked of the women of Ohiq, while $100
from "West Virginia will be sufficient
Three hundred and forty-seven Pennsyl
vania firms have filed applications for space
at the Exposition. The number of exhib
itors from that State at the Centennial Ex
position was 3,300. The Pennsvlvania
womans' committee will forward to Chicago
within the next few weeks some handsomely
carved panels, memorial windows, and a
number of pieces of drapery, embroidered
or painted lor the woman's building. These
are all the production of Pennsylvania
women, and many of them are said to be ot
a high order of merit
The Vanderbilts have asked for space in
the transportation building for three tracks,
each 500 feet long, on which to make a dis
play of locomotives, cars and railway ser
vice appliances.
Out of a total of 34,174,934 pounds of iron
required in the construction of "World's
Fair buildings, 11,485,128 pounds have been
placed.
The Legislature of Ohio has appropriated
525,000 for the erection of a monument on
the Exposition grounds commemorative of
the achievements of Ohio men.
Schemes to Fight th Flames.
The provisions for fightine fire at the Ex
position grounds will be as complete as it is
possible to make them. Every building is
surrounded by a water pipe eight inches or
more in diameter. Double-uozzled, lrost
jacket hydrants are set in this pipe 300
feet apart Ninety-four ot these hydrants
are already in place. There will be more than
500 of them when the buildings are com
pleted. Every buildingig provided with
stand pipes 150 feet apart Hose connec
tions will be made at every floor and gal
lery and on the roof. In the manufactures
building there are six triple rows of these
pipes from side to side, 18 in all. In the
art gallery there are 4 stand pipes, in the
horticultural buildings 10, in the machinery
hall 10, and in the electricity and mining
buildings 10 each.
Sufficient water will be at hand to flood
all of the buildings if necessary. While
the servioe is at present only temporary,
four fire companies from the city fire de
partment are alwrs on call. The per-
manent system will have every appliance
known, Including a fire tug of great power
on the lagoons. As the buildings progress
insurance is placed on them. The risks are
distributed among the different companies
by a committee appointedTiy the" insurance
people. At present the policies placed
amount to about $2,600,000. It is expected
the companies will accept risks up to 80 per
cent of the value of the buildings. 'Ex
hibitors will place their own risks. The
value of the property which the buildings
will contain has been estimated at $100,000,

Ovor a Queer rind Origin ot the Tin

Creede, Coi, April 15. This whole
town is mine mad, and even the boys play
at mining and the whole hillside is filled
with little holes dug by the boys. That
this has been oi benefit to at least two peo
ple is shown in the assay of some ore found
by the sons of Mrs. "Weaver, who
keeps a boarding house, and
William Anderson, a miner. These
boys plaved miner and dug a tunnel in
the side o'f the hill back of Mrs. Weaver's
house. They played every day there and
got quite a hole In the hilh The boys dug
a tunnel about ten feet deep and struck a
solid rock which they could not drill with
their childish tools, but as the rock showed

widower, went to see Mrs. "Weaver, who is
a widow, and while there both of the boys
insisted that he should go to see their mine.
He went out and soon came back terribly
excited over what he had seen. The next
morning he took samples of the mineral
fonnd by the boys to an assayer and found
that a rich pay lead had been struck. The
ore carried free gold and was also rich in
silver, the two metals assaying over 51,000 a
ton. The claim bids fair to be one of the
richest in the camp and will retain the

Tahlequah, Ind. T., April 15. John
Waner, a full-blooded Choctaw about 50
years of age, was hanged to-day in jail for
the murder of John Daugherty last July.
"Waner has been nervous over his approach
ing death, and passed the night in singing
and praying the hour away. The morning
was spent in much the same way. At 12
o'clock he was taken to the scaffold, walk
ing firmly. Arriving there the condemned
man made quite a long address in a rcmarK
ablv firm voice.
The rope wej adjusted, the black ap put
in place, and at 12:50 the drop fell. He
was pronounced dead in 20 minutes. On the
scaffold "Waner confessed his suilt and said
he had belonged to three different secret
criminal organizations, by whose decrees
many persons had been murdered, whose
names he gave. He also said the Daugherty
killing had been ordered by a society, prin
cipally to prove "Waner's "faithfulness, he
having been ordered to do the killing for
which he was hanged to-day.
"WILMINGTON THE BENDEZV01JS
Of Mew York Green Goods Men and the
Suckers They Fleece.
"Wilmington", Del., April 15. Last
week a man giving his name as John
McMillin, of Trenton, stopped at a hotel
here, remarking that he was prospecting.
Later he telegraphed to some one in New
York City, although warned by the operator
that the man he wired to might be
"crooked." The same nieht McMillin left.
Yesterday the hotel proprietor received a
letter from McMillin, written at Sullivan,
Ind., in which the writer said that he ha'd
been steered to New York City from "Wil
mington by a "pilot" In New York he
paid 5400 for 54,000 of green goods, and got
in return a box of small-blocks. He asked
that the matter be given to the police.
There have been half a dozen men here on
the way to New York for green goods, and
it is supposed that this city is a meeting
place for the sharpers and their victims.
.Railroad Magnates in a Wreck,
Grenada, Miss., April 15. One mile

Paul Bailroad, attached to the northbound
vestibule train on the Illinois Central Bail
road, jumped the track and turned over on
its side, shaking up the occupants and
bruising several of them. The occupants at
the time were "Vice President Kipley and
several Chicago gentlemen. Mr. Bipley
was only slightly hurt.
Canadian Indians Threaten War.
"Winnipeg, April 15. Advices from
British Columbia say that further news
from the Skeena river is that the Indians
are prepared to go on the warpath if the
member of their tribe who is under arrest
for murder is sent to Victoria for trial. The
circumstances in connection with the mur
der were of such a character as to justify it,
hence the intense hostility of the Indians.
Organized Man Smuggler in China, '
Ottawa', April 15. The Minister of
Customs has discovered a plot by which an
organization in China is smuggling China
men into Canada on bogus certificates. A
large number of fraudulent; certificates have

partment here. It is believed that a large
number of Chinamen have been run luto
the United States in the same way.

United States Attorney Allen Files a
Reply to Objections
RAISED BY THE WHISKY TEUST.
Why the Suit Is a Yalicl One Under Inter
State Commerce Lairs.
FIRES, FAILURES AND KAILWAT NEWS
Bostos-, April 15. United States Dis
trict Attorney Allen has filed along answer
to the objections raised by the attorneys for
the "Whisky Trust. The answer relates
technically to the motion to quash the in
dictments by President Joseph B. Green
hut, and to the general demurrer of all the
other defendants.
Attorney Allen holds that the first two
objections under the motion to quash this
indictment that the latter was indefinite,
uncertain and did not sufficiently inform
the accused of the nature of the' offense
against him were of no validity, and
should be overruled. The same is true of
the third objection, since it does not appear
that the indictment does not charge a
statute offense; that it does charge an
offense under the second section of the anti
trust act of July 2, 1890, and does charge
the defendants with monopolizing the arti
cles named therein.
Mr. Allen savs as ereat and sufficient
particularity is seen in the indictment as
is required ip indictments for felonies, and
that it Is to be noted that the offense created
by this act is a misdemeanor and quotes an-
tuorities in support or nis posicion.
The act of July 2, 1890, makes certain aets
crimes, and Section 2 makes the monopoliz
ing, or attempt to monopolize bv any person
or persons of anv part of the trado or com
merce anions tho several States or with
foreign nations, misdemeanors. "
The District Attorney quoted from the
speech of Hon. John Sherman In the Senate
of Match 21, 1S90, defining the purpose of
this act as being to supplement the enforce
ment of the established rules of statute law
of the States In dealing with combinations
that affect injurlouslv the liberty of the
citizens of the United States. It aims only
at unlawful combinations. Unlawful com
binations made by individuals are declared
by tho several States to be against public
pollcv. If their business is lawful they can
comblno in any way, piovlded they do not
combine to pi event competition. When a
combination "tends to advanco tho price to
the consumer of nny article produced," it is
a substantial monopoly. Injurious to the
public, and by tho rule of both common and
civil law Is the Just object of restraint. The
moment spirits began to bo transported
from Illinois to Massachusetts "they became
subjects of lnter-Stato commerce, and are
subjeot to national legislation. The Court
reserved decision.

he was released from the penitentiarv. He
had hardly made his exit from the big iron
doors of the prison before be was seized
by Detective Pete Murphy and hns
tlcd somewhere into the city, and
this,, too, in the face of the fact
that a young girl was impatiently awaiting
his arrival to keep an engagement that it to
last during life. But even the high hand of
the law was not permitted to interfere with
a matter of so much importance to two
young people. He made a short trip and
was in the city in less than one hour.
Miss Ida May Purnell was the bride's
name, and Chaplain Sutton performed the
ceremony at the residence of the father, G.

CAN'T LODGE CITY TAXES.
An Important Decision Against Transporta
tion Companies In Michigan.
Lansing, Mich., April 15. The Su
preme Court to-day denied the mandamus
askedforby the Detroit Transportation Com
pany to compel the Detroit Board of Assess
ors to remove its name from the assessment
roll. This company tried to escape paying
taxes to the city by establishing an office
just outside the corporate limits while its
business was transacted and its property
was actually within the city limits.
The decision states that a corporation
must have a local habitation, and that it
cannot fix a nominal domicile in the country
while its actual domicile for business is in
the city. The opinion will rule in the cases
of the other transportation companies which
prayed for similar relief.
