THE RCHAETTON TRIBUNE MOXDAY MOMTING1. JANUARY 7, 189tf.
FORECAST JFJIE WEEK
Administration Anxious Over the
Trouble with Germany.
Kits for congress to crack
Complications Arise at Every Hand to
' Harass to Vntcrrificd Statesman.
Mr. Quay Causes Consternation by
Amendment to Deficiency Bill.
By the United Press.
Waahlngton, Jan. 6. The present
week In the senate wllUprobably be re
markable more for that which it will
fall to accomplish than for rfnytttving
(Bhait may be done. The most signifi
cant feature will be the precipitation of
the debaite 'thait will grow out of the
proposition In the urgency deficiency
1H1 for the collection of the Income tax.
This will not come up, however, until
well toward the la'tlter part of the
week.
There will be a. continuance of the In
cidental Hawaiian discussion growing
out of the resolution of Mr. Lodge re
questing the president to Inform the
senate why this government has with
drawn our ships from Hawaiian waiters,
provided Mr. Lodge and those acting
In concert with him are able to carry
out tlhtdr programme.
It Is rather expeoted In administra
tion circles that a baton of Hawaiian
correspondence now awaiting trans
mission to congress will negative some
of the points imade In the debate as to
the attitude of Great Britain.
On the third of this month Mr. Pef
f er gave notice that he would tomorrow
call up for consideration senate bills
granting a service pension to soldiers
land sailors of the war of the rebellion,
und this may, to a small extent, an
tagonize Mr. Lodge's resolution. There
Is a well grounded belief, however, that
Mr. Ijodge wilt succeed In continuing
the dobalte whicth he on Fridny charac
terized as a "stunning success."
The Nlearaguan canal bill, which
seems to be doomed to interminable de
bate, still .remains on the calendar as
the unfinished business, and Mr. Mitch
ell, of Oregon, ivas the floor to address
the senate on that subject tomorrow.
Administration Anxious.
The action of almost all the conti
nental governments of Europe has in
creased the anxiety of the administra
tion to do something to remove the
bone of contention the discriminating
on sugar Imported from those countries
that pay an export bounty. A commit
tee representing the Democratic lead
ers called upon Messrs. Allison and Al
drlch and consulted with one or two
other Republicans and presented the
case to them In the hope that they
would consent to such change as would
eliminate this discriminating duty of
one-tenth of a cent a pound from the
present law. No encouragement was
given those who sought the conference
and finding themselves able to accom
plish what they desired only through
an agreement that was, as they under
stood It, antagonistic to pemocratlc
principles, the Democratic leaders have
Abandoned the Idea of attempting to
repeal the obnoxious clause In the su
gar schedule and will report the bill
without any proposed changes In the
tariff laws.
In this matter Air. Quay, of Pennsyl-
fania, seems to be playing the part of
free lance, as Is evidenced by the
amendment to the deficiency bill, of
which he gave notice the other day.
Mr. Quay's amendment strikes out all
reference to the Income tax wherever
It appears In the deficiency appropria
tion bill and substitutes a new wool
schedule.
As a vehicle for debate In the hands
of a man like Mr. Quay, this amend
ment opens up a field for discussion
that is practically inexhaustive. What
amount of time he will consume is but
problematical and the bare possibilities
of what he may accomplish Is causing
the Democratic leaders deep seated
concern, for the days still remaining
to this session are swiftly passing, and
so far but one appropriation bill has
passed the senate and but one other Is
on the calendar.
RECEPTION TO HASTINGS.
Hundreds of Prominent Pcnnsylvunlans
Honor the (iovcrnor-Lleet.
By the United Press.
Philadelphia, Jan. 6. For nearly two
hours Governor-elect Hastings shook
hands with friends irrespective of
party at the Union league last evening.
Not the least enjoyable feature was
the reception tendered to General Hast
ings' late antagonist, W. M. Singerly,
and the party which accompanied Mr.
Singerly, among whom were Attorney
General Hensel, Secretary of the Com
monwealth Harrity, Comptroller of the
Currency James II. Eckels, Democratic
State Chairman Stranahun, Naval Ofll
cer J. Marshal Wright, Postmaster W.
W. Carr and ex-District Attorney John
M. Uainan, of Luzerne county.
Mr. Singerly congratulated Governor
Hastings; Mr. Harrity congratulated
his successor, General Frank Reeder,
and Mr. HenBel congratulated his suc
cessor, H. C. McCormlck. There was
no speechmaklng and Governor Pattl
iion, tn warmly grasping Governor
Hastings' hand, simply said that he
had called to pay his respects and wish
his successor the success he deserved.
THE DEN VERSTR ANGLER.
A Confession from a Man Who Was Mndo
Intoxicated 1 1 a Saloon.
By the United Press.
Denver, Jan. 6. Two Frenchmen, Vic
tor Monchareux and Alphonse Lamar,
are suspected of Complicity in the Mar
ket street strangling cases. Both men
are now 4n Jail. On Thursday night
Lamar made a partial confession. He
entered a saloon In the atrangiers' row,
and whdle under the Influence of whisky
M YWKNQW
that one dozen bottles of
CHE GENUINE
HALT EXTRACT
WITHOUT BEING INTOXICATING I
Beware ot Imitations
i LOOK fOR SIGNATURE,
asked Tony Sanders, the paramour of
Marie 'contlassoit, one of the unfoiuu
nate victims of the strangler, If he
knew the man Challou, who brought
the Oonltassolt sisters from France. He
was piled with liquor and was ques
tioned cloBely.
Monchareux, who, according to La
mar, Is responsible for Marie Cintas
solt's death, was under the impression
that Challou had given Marie $7,000
Just before they left for the old coun
try, and robbery waaithe motive. Mon
chareux only secured $67 In the room
where .the crime was committed. On
Nov. 6 a woman was to have been
strangled at 2132 Market street, end
plans were completed for laying boards
leading from the rear entrance of the
house, so that footsteps could not be
tnaced. Some one In .the alley fright
ened Monohaireux away Just as he had
the planks fixed. A. Deutressauls, a
saloonkeeper at 2001 Market street, was
to Hiave Ibeen irobbed, but the plan failed.
Lamar confessed all this to the police
yesterday, and It is expected that he
will make further revelations. Mon
chareux has been In Jail In California.
Manle Contassolt, Lamar says, was
chloroformed first.
INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
Most of the producing companies
find their customers can be supplied by
working their collieries three days a
week and this rate will hardly be ex
ceeded during January.
A Birmingham, Ala., dispatch says:
"Alice furnace, employing 600 men, went
In blast Saturday. The Birmingham
Rolling mill added 300 men to Its pay
roll, making 1,000 In all. The Alabama
coal output has Increased to 27,000 tons
a day, the largest yet."
The report thut.there Is trouble among
the employes of the Lehigh Valley rail
road Is denied by officials of the com
pany, who say wages have not been re
duced. They assert also that, so far as
known to them, no dissatisfaction ex
ists among the employes.
The directors of the New Jersey Cen
tral railroad have decided to deduct
from earnings a sum equal to the
amount of Income tax which the holders
of stock would have to pay on the divi
dends received by tCiem during the year.
This is a new item of expense and one
not expected earlier in the year.
A new order has gone Into effect on
the Wyoming division of the Lehigh
Valley railroad whereby engineers and
their crews will receive only one and
one-half days for making a round trip
between Packerton and Coxton, Instead
of two days. The company claims that
the trip can be made In less time than
formerly, because of the completion of
the mountain cut-off. The order does
not include the local freights,- but all
others. It affects about five crews sta
tioned at Mauch Chunk and about dou
ble that number at Coxton.
The Reading company reports a
good demand for Its special brands but
Its hard white ash coals are moving
slowly. The line and city trade re
mains very dull, although prices are
maintained firmly. The Reading com
pany 'announces that during the pres
ent year it will make no contracts fur
pea and buckwheat coals with dealers,
and the price has been fixed nt $1.40
for pea and 85 cents for buckwheat.
Whether contracts with manufacturers
will be made is a question now tinder
consideration. i
The preliminary statement of the an
thracite coal shipments for the year to
Dec. 20 shows the amount sent to mar
ket to that date to have been 41,170,665
tunsias compared with 43,0S9,573 tons, a
decrease of 1,918,S72 tons. The ofliclal
figures will not be out for a week or
more. Shipments of anthracite coal for
the -week ended Dec. 29 tlhow that the
several companies closely followed the
agreement to restrict the output. Only
3U7.4S7 tons were shipped, or nearly 50
per cent, less than for the corresponding
week of 1893, when the total was 739,830
tons. The reduction was largest In the
Wyoming region, aggregating 202,827
tons, but the Lehigh and Sdhuylklll
regions also showed a decided falling
off. The appended table contains the
returns in detail:

A mammoth electric railway project
Is proposed by Martin Dodge, of Cleve
land, the president of the Ohio Road
commlssJon of 1S93, says the Electrical
Engineer, noted for the advanced posi
tion It took with regard to the construc
tion of electric roads through the coun
try districts. His latest project Involves
millions, but he Is very confident that
ho will be able to carry It through. It
is nothing short of a proposition to build
a great network of electric lines all
over Ohio at the public expense. He
beMeves the electric road Is the system
of the future; and he would have the
public construct lines In the same man
ner as canals and highways have been
built in the past, and are being built
now. He thinks the time Is ripe for an
act under which the state and counties
may Join hands, and construct electric
roads between all the county seats In
the state, the linos to be operated by
private enterprise on lease, after they
have been .built. Ho would have the
counties pay 'half the expense of the
Immense work and the state the re
mainder. He estimates that this would
require 4,000 miles of road, and would
cost over $20,000,000. The estimate of
$5,000 per mile, which he fixed, Is below
the average, It Is Said, of the expendi
ture on the county lines now In opera
tion In the state, and the work, done by
the public, would still further Increase
this expenditure.

JUDGE TftYLOR HUD A GUN
Sensation Created in the Venango
County Court House.
ATTACK ON DEPUTY SHEK1PP
Laboring I'nder the Delusion That tho
Deputy Had Been Spying on Ills Ac
tions the Judge Points a Loaded
Revolver at the Officer.
By the United Press.
Franklin, Pa., Jan. C Yesterday
afternoon President Judge CharleB 13.
Taylor, who has served sixteen yenrs
as Judge of Venango county, attempted
to shoot Deputy Sheriff M. M. Shoe
macher. About 4.30 o'clock Judge Tay
lor went Into the sheriff's ofllce In the
court house, and after exchanging a
few words with Deputy Sheriff Shoe
mncher, started to abuse him, calling
him all sorts of vile names. He was
ordered out of the olllce, but Instead of
leaving he walked over to the deputy,
who was sitting down at the time, and
endeavored to hold him In his chair.
Shoemacher succeeded In arising and
got hold of the Judge, telling him to
leave the otllce. With curses, the Judge
resisted, and exclaimed fiercely "I'll
shoot you," and drawing a loaded re
volver, pointed it at the deputy, who
quickly grubbed the pistol hand and
probably thus saved his life. H. Smith;
an oil producer, was In the ofllce at the
time, and Marshall Phlpps, deputy pro
thonotary, who was passing the door,
ran to the deputy's assistance.
After a hard struggle the three men
succeeded In overpowering the Judge
and got the revolver from him.
Judge Taylor Is 74 years of age. Late
ly It appears that he Is laboring under
a delusion that Sheriff Shaner, Deputy
Sheriff Shoemacher und Register and
Recorder Frank Barr, have been fol
lowing and npying upon his actions.
A short time before the attempted
shooting the Judge met Sheriff Shaner
and Register and Recorder Barr In the
corridor of the court house and began
abusing them, calling them vile names
and iinally Btriking the sheriff In the
face. On account of the Judge's age
Mr. Shaner let the matter pass and
walked nway. It Is understood that
suit will be entered against the Judge
by the deputy sheriff for pointing flre
urms. Mr. Shoemncher has consulted
an attorney, but It was not divulged
what action will be taken.
HENRY JAMES' NEW PLAY.
It Is Kccclvcd with Jeers and Howls and
the Uultery Calls It Kottcn.
By the United Press.
London, Jan. 6. Henry James' new
play, "Guy Dormvllle," was given nt
St. James' theater last evening. Al
though splendidly mounted and well
acted, It was a stupendous failure.
Like the uuthor's novels, It Is an ana
lytic study of character. Perhaps In
the form of a novel It might succeed,
but as a play it Is weak and devoid of
technique.
George Alexander and Marlon Terry
had the chief parts. The period Is 1780.
The first act pleased the audience, the
second was distinctly Inferior, and
dragged; the third was hopeless. The
curtain after the third act was followed
by hisses und jeers. In response to
calls Mr. Alexander led Mr. James to
the footlights. They were received
wlthitumultous hooting, groaning, nnd
hissing, which quite drowned the slight
applause. They faced the din for two
of three minutes, Mr. James gazing
with scornful coolness at the turbulent
throng, nnd Mr. Alexander shifting
nervously from position to position.
Later, Mr. Alexander, alone, an
swered demands for a speech by telling
how pained he was to experience such
a rebuff after the many kind receptions
that 'had been given him. The company
had worked very hard to do justice to
the play, he said.
'"Taln't your fault, guv'nor," came
from the gallery. "It's the rotten play."
More howls followed this, and Mr.
Alexander disappeared In confusion.
His remarks are regarded as 111 ad
vised, for they tended clearly to throw
the whole blame for the failure on Mr.
James' shoulders.
Bad drainage causes much sickness,
and bad blood und Improper action of the
liver and kidneys Is bad dralnugo to the
human system, which Burdock Hlood
Bitters remedy.

STOCKS AND B0XDS.
New York, Jan. 5. Speculation at the
Stock exchange today showed few fea
tures of Interest. Distilling und Cattle
Feeding developed some strength. Jer

to 87 and receded to 86. American
sugars, Lead and Missouri Pacific were
the weak spots, fulling from to
excepting Missouri I'uclflc, which sold

Chicago Gas was tolerably firm, but
the grangers and trunk lines were dull.

(Action
to our
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons thut they will this year hold to their usuul custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD W HEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
E laced Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour fur above other
runds.
