WEDNESDAY. FEBBUAKY Iff. 18P6.
Wjc P. St. John, a New York banker,
sent S500,000 in gold to the sub-treasury
in New York city and accepted green-
. backs in exchange -for the same. This
" bank did a similar thing in 1894.
Senatoic Quay of Pennsylvania has
' announced himself as a sure-enough
candidate for presidential honors. The
favorite son theory will not work this
year, but it seems to le about the only
thing to do against McKinley.
A bilt. has been introduced into the
Ohio legislature, says the Cadiz Senti
nel, to impose a fine of from $10 to 8100
upon any one who is qualified to vote at
any public election and who, being well
and able to do so, omits to vote.
The interest-bearing debt of the Unit
ed States has been increased more than
a quarter of a billion dollars since the
accession of the democratic party to
power in 1892, and we have another full
year to go before the curtain will fall on
that party's last official act. In the
meantime another loan of $100,000,000
may bo added to the present amount.
During the administration of President
Harrison the public debt was reduced as
much as it has been increased during
this one. Ftillerton News.
"The universal ether" is among the
latest phrases of the scientists. Just
what is meant by it or what it is does
not develop, the name is certainly far
reaching. Each planet and each solar
, system doubtless has its own atmos
. phere, a modification, probably, of "the
. universal ethor.'t The late discoveries
utilized in the photographing of objects
". throngh what have heretofore been' re
. garded as entirely opaque substances
. comes as a revelation. The truth is,
mankind are but beginning to learn the
a, b, c of nature within and around and
," beyond them.
The Platte Center Sigual, having ex-
' pressed a doubt about McKinley being
elected next president, and also that
there are a few good democrats left who
Will contest the election of a republican
president, the Fullerton News says: "If
Editor Mokler's chances for a pair of
Wings and a golden crown in the next
. world were only as good as the prospects
v for election of the next republican can-
; didate for president he need not further
". concern himself about a future state.
But ho correctly expresses the situation
' . when he says there are a few democrats
left, and they are very few."
Coxobessuan Dollivek of Iowa tells
the following, which aptly illustrates a
condition of the present time: "Not
long ago I was in the city of Plainfield,
'"N. J., a city of 10,009 inhabitants and
rapidly becoming a fashionable suburb
of New York. I strolled into a barber
shop. I always like to talk to the barber.
- He knows everything and has a cheerful
-way of letting go of it. So I asked him
how things were coming on in Plainfield.
'. He said things were bad enough in Plain
field. I asked him what was the matter
with Plainfield. 'Well,' said he, 'these
New York roosters don't help a town
. much.' I asked him what he meant.
' .'Why, said he, 4I mean those fellows
doing business in the city of New York.
.. They buy what they need and get shaved
before they start home, and just roost in
Plainfield.' And as I crawled oat of
that democratic barber's chair I made up
.r.tny mind to do everything I could by
vote and by speech to prevent the demo-
.. cratic party from converting the people
of the United States into English roos--"
tors, doing business in London and mere-
ly sleeping in the United States."

HOUSE VOTED TO NON-CONCUR IN
SENATE SILVER BILL.
Bx-Saaakar CrUp Prcaeatefl the Closing
Argaaaent Far tbe White Sletal Mea,
Kearcaeatatlve Taraer Sepllea to lib
Democratic Colleague From Georgia.
Washington-, Feb. 15. The majority
in the house against silver, when the
final vote was taken on concurrence in,
the senate free coinage amendment,
was larger than that in committee of
the whole. Thursday the motion to
defer was defeated, 190 to 80, a majority
of 110; Friday it was beaten 215 to 90, a
majority of 125. The vote was a record
making vote, and, counting the pairs,
but 37 out of 350 members were unac
counted for. Perhaps a few absentees
dodged, but most of them were un
avoidably absent and were unable to se
cure pairs. The silver men who had
predicted a much greater showing of
strength were disappointed. The
"sound money" leaders had been dis
posed to concede the silver forces 100
votes. An analysis shows that 184
Republicans and 31 Democrats voted
against concurrence and 58' Democrats,
25 Republicans and 7 Populists for con
currence. The debate which preceded
the vote was of an interesting character,
but devoid of any sensational features.
The galleries as usual on a field day in
the lower branch of congress were
crowded to the doors, and quite a num
ber of senators sat through the 5-hour
debate. Secretary Herbert was also
present. Ex-Speaker Crisp presented
the closing argument for the silver men
and was replied to by Mr. Turner, a
Democratic colleague from Georgia, in
a 2-hours' speech. The personal rivalry
between the two leaders of the opposing
factions of the Democratic side of the
house added to the interest of the occa
sion. Mr. Dalzell ( Pa. ) closed in behalf
of the Sbpublicans. The partisans of
the respective champions missed no op
portunity to acclaim their approval
when telling poiuts were made and at
the close the honors seemed even.
ANDREWS GETS AFTER MORTON.
Froashea the House Tlutt Present Secretary
of Agricalture Will lie Supplanted.
Washington, Feb. 18. The agricul
tural appropriation bill occupied the at
tention of the house Monday. A great
deal of criticism of Secretary Morton
was indulged in on both sides of the
political aisle, but as on Saturday no
one arose to his defense. At last Mr.
Pearson (N. C.) arose and asked if there
was not some member. Democrat, Popu
list or Republican, who would raise a
voice in his defense. His question was
greeted with a chorus of "Nik's" from
all sides of the hoii'c. The omission in
the bill for a chief clerk in the animal
industry at a salary of $2,000 which was
made upon the secretary's recommenda
tion led to the insinuation that the sec
retary wanted to legislate out of office
P. F. Lysle, a free silver Democrat from
Missouri, the present iuenbent, who was
appointed on the recommendation of
the Missouri senators and it was inti
mated that Secretary Morton's action
was an attempt to retaliate upon Sena
tor Vest for the latter's attack upon
him. An amendment was pending
when the house adjourned, making
mandatory the execution of the provis
ion in the bill for tlu distribution of
seeds. It is understood Mr. Cousins
(Ia.) will offer an amendment directing
the secretary of the tieasury to with
hold the payment of Secretary Morton's
salary until this provision was executed.
An amendment appropriating $42,3G0
for a new edition of .the "horse book"
was adopted. Before the bill was takeu
up the senate amendments to the urgent
deficiency bill were nouenrred in and a
bill was passed for the examination and
classification of lauds in the railroad
grants in California.
DAVIS ON THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Mlaaeseta SenatoV Addresses the Senate
and Is Given Close Attention.
Washington, Feb. 18. The speech of
Senator Davis (Minn.), supporting the
resolution of which he is the author,
enunciating the policy of the United
States on the Monroe doctrine, was the
event of Monday in the senate. There
was added interest and significance in
Mr. Davis' utterances as the resolution
voiced the sentiments of a majority of
the senate committee on foreign rela
tions, of which he is a member. The
public interest in the subject was in
evidence by crowded galleries, the at
tendance being greater than at any
time since the vote. Mr. Davis spoke
one or two hours and was given close
attention throughout. The language
was conservative and was not the radi
cal utterance some had expected. Mr.
Davis spoke with gratification of the re
ports coming from across the Atlantic
that a settlement of the Venezuela
trouble was likely to be affected, yet the
senator declared, with emphasis, -that
the American people would never in
dorse a settlement based on a concession
of any feature of the Monroe doctrine.
While minimizing the possibilities of a
war the senator said that a firm and ex
plicit announcement of our policy to re
sist European encroachments would
give the surest guarantee of peace.
The rest of the day was given to the
military academy bill, which was under
discussion when the senate adjourned.
The proposition of Mr. Vilas to increase
the number of appointments by two
from each state, an aggregate of 90,
brought out much debate, the prevail
ing sentiment being favorable to the in
crease. Mr. Vest (Dein., Mo.) called up the
recent report of the secretary of agri
culture concerning the cattle quaran
tine in Texas. The senator said the sec
retary's action in changiug the quaran
tine Hoe had the effect of increasing the
price of beef to the people of the entire
country and worked special loss and
hardship on the cattle interests of the
west and southwest. Mr. Vest spoke at
considerable length aud was followed
by Mr. Berry (Dem., Ark.) in the same
line.
JULIAN COULD GET HO FORFEIT.
Threw Away His Chance For the Money hjr
Not Claiming It Feb. 14.
El Paso, Feb. 18. Martin Julian
came across the Rio Grande this morn
ing for a conference with Stuart aud
Buck Connelly. Julian started out by
claiming the forfeit, but was told he
could get no forfeit. The articles of
agreement provide that "The man fail
ing to appear at the ringside" should
forfeit. Maher was ready to appear at
the ringside or would be as soon as the
morning train got in from Las Cruces.
In addition to that there was no ring
side.so Mr. Julian was told. There was
a ringside on Friday, the day set for the
fight, and if he wanted to claim any
forfeit for the failure of Maher to ap
pear at the ringside, he should have
done so on that day.
FStzsunnzous dubbed Maher and his
friends a pack of curs. Connelly lest
Ids temper and returned the compliment
with emphasis. A row was imminent,
bat order was finally restored. Julian
then made a proposition that Connelly
name arbitrators, and he (Julian) would
accept their decision. This proposition
was greeted by yells of aDDroval bv the
crowd and Connelly accepted it. The
mee named by Connelly agreed
that the articles of agreement of
December 6 were abrogated Friday
and that under the cinumtanccs Julian
could not justly chum forfeit. The com
mittee consisted of Dan Stuart, George
Siler, Louis Hoasemau, William W.
Naughton, Tom O'Rourke and Hugh
Fitzgerald.
A compromise was reached and the
fight is now positively set for Friday,
Connelly posting $1,000 to guarantee
Maher's appearance in the ring on that
day.
f SITUATION IN FRANCE CRITICAL.
Present Crisis May Lead ta a Caaage af
Goverameat.
Paris, Feb. 18. The political crisis
which has arisen out of the demand of
the senate for a vigorous and thorough
inquiry into the Southern railway scan
dals, that body having emphasized its
attitude in the matter by twice refusing
a vote of confidence in the Bourgeois
ministry, is now practically a struggle
between the chamber of deputies, which
has supported the Radical ministry, and
the senate, which seems bent upon over
throwing it, even at the cost of most se
rious disturbance. Bat, it is claimed,
the resignation of the ministry will not
alter matters to any great degree, as it
appears to be no louger a question of
confidence or of noncoufidence in the cab
inet. The chamber of deputies, it is as
serted, has practically, by defying the
senate, endangered the constitution, and
the result is a condition of affairs about
as threatening as any since the trouble
some times of 1870-71. The newspapers
are filled with excited articles aud vivid
reproductions of interviews with polit
ical leaders, and many of them have ex
pressed the opinion that a constitutional
solution of the problem is impossible.
RUSSIA MAKES A COUP D'ETAT.
The laadlnc of Mariaesat Seoal, Corea, the
First Move Toward a t'rotectorate.
London, Feb. 17. The Times prints
a dispatch from Kobe, Japan, which
says: News from Seoul, Corea, proves
that Russia made a remarkable coup
d'etat on the night of Feb. 10. Thatnight
200 Russian marines with a field gun
were landed at Chemulpo and marched
to Seoul. The king secretly left the
palace for the Russian legation, when
he proclaimed his ministers guilty of
treason. Two of the ministers were ar
rested and executed and the other.Tain-Won-Kun,
the father of the king, is a
prisoner at the legation. An anti- Japa
nese ministry was then formed. A bit
ter feeling has been aroused. A cabi
net council was held, attended by the
military officials. It is reported the
Russian minister declared that Russia
was not responsible aud that he merely
afforded protection at the king's re
quest. But it is believed this precludes
a Russian protectorate over Corea.

ALL ESCAPE CUT OFF.
FACTORY EMPLOYES. SURPRISED
MAD FLAMES..
BY
The Fire Occurred Ia the Cellar Factory af
Vaa Zaadt & Jacobs at Tray, N. Y.
Started From a Lighted Match Tarawa
Iato a File of Oily Waste.
Troy, N. Y., Feb. 18. A small boy
carelessly throwing a match into a pile
of oily waste, a blazing mass of flames,
800 girls and women frenzied with
fright, fighting for life as the hot life
chased them with hungry tongues, was
the beginning of a fire last night that
consumed. thousands of dollars worth of
property and caused the destruction of
many lives. From the outside of the
high building the first notice of impend
ing disaster was the sight of a body of
girls as they rushed out upon the fire
escapes from the windows, those who
were more fortunate crowding out thn
entrance. Following them was a mass
of smoke, with flashes of hot flame in
lnvirt cMilr Than flirt mice fmnS
zied humanity fiudin ih" egresses too
small for inr.tant escape, began climbing
over the sides of the escapes and bun
dles of clothitg filled with writhing
humanity dropped at the feet of horri
fied passersby. Within 20 minutes after
the fire started there were three dead
women laid upon the floor of an adjoin
ing store and at least a dozen burned
and maimed girls and women .taken to
the hospitals or their homes. Of the
850 girls and women in the building, it
is presumed that at least half a dozen
are in the ruins, for it is impossible to
locate all and there -may possibly be a
score of dead.
Foaght For Their lives.
It was just i0 minutes before closing
hour in Stettheimer & Co.'s shirt fac
tory on River street and the 300 girls
and women were working rapidly to
finish up. In the cutting room on the
fifth floor the 150 girls were closing up
their day's af s'guments aud preparing
to leave when the whistle blew. Lillie
Kreiger, who was wcikiug near a ma
chine, called to a small boy to light the
gas over her work. The boy struck, a
match and threw the burning stub to
the floor. It struck a pile of old rags
and in uu instant the girl was enveloped
in flames. With her clothes and hair
buruiug she rushed to the window aud
in au instant the room became a strug
gling, shrieking mass of humanity, fill
ing the window, the fire escape and the
only stairway. Jaming and pushing,
tearing each other's clothes from their
backs, turning in narrow corridors to
find a sier or mother, or friend, the
number in the exits augmented every
minute by those from the other floors.
These girls and women fought for their
lives to get away from the fiery flames
that seemed to be growing to a mons
trous size. With rare presence of mind
Policeman Farrel, who was on the
street, seeing that in the panic a num
ber were liable to jump, let down the
awning over the entrance.
Forced Out by the Flames.
Barely was it down when two or
three forms came flying down from the
fifth and sixth stories aud bouncing
from the awning fell to the sidewalk.
Lilly Kreiger, over whose machine the
fire started, was one of these. She
struck the awning, fell on her back and
bounced to her hands and knees on the
walk. She got up and sraggered about
until people helped her to her feet
again. By this time nearly eveiy win
dow had a female form dangling from
it, and when the firemen arrived there
was a hustle to get the ladders up. At
the center window on the sixth floor a
woman bunging by her hands was
forced out by the flames licking her
face. With a last shriek she let go and
came tumbling over and over until she
struck the pavement. When picked up
it was found that she was Mrs. Mar
garet Carroll. Her spinal column was
forced through into her brain. Just be
low her in another window hung a
woman turning appealing glances to the
crowd. Tli? black smoke was pouring
from the window, but as yet no flames
were visible and the crowd yelled en
couragingly to her to hold on, but a
high red flame reached out just then
and licked her face, and in au instant
heroody was rebounding from the pave
ment. She was Mrs. Foley, a widow,
aud when picked up was dead.
The total loss by the fire is from $250,
000 to $300,000, with about $ 100,000 in
surance. At least 500 people are
thrown out of work. The firemen
worked all night with the thermometer
down below zero, suffering very much.
Two coroners were summoned aud a
jury was empanelled to care for the
the dead. The following is the lLst of
unfortunates obtainable The dead:
Mies. Maroaket Cakkoll, jumped from
window.

Seward Blade: The Howing wells of
this locality Beaver Crossing are still
in their glory, and although there have
been numerous new ones put down in
the past few months, there is no 6ign of
a failure in the water supply. It still
rushes out above the surface with great
force wherever au opening is made down
to it. The time is past for doubting
that the flowing wells have come to stay.
David City News: The hens have
created a boom in the egg business of
late, and our merchants are kept busy
counting the eggs which come in. Good
hens are an immense help on a farm
when they are well cared for. They pay
for themselves many times in a year,
and in fact if good warm shelter is pro
vided for them, will keep a good sized
family in groceries. Every farm should
have its poultry yard.
Fullerton News: The little four-year-old
grandchild of Ben Rose succeeded
in burning down his grandfather's barn
last Friday. He was playing at the
barn and kindled a fire, which spread
and soon consumed the entire structure,
together with a buggy, some harness.
400 bushels of corn, 200 bushels of oats
and other etceteras. Air. Koee is a
Merrick, county farmer, who lives seven
or eight miles Bouth of town and this
loss will be pretty hard on the old gen
tleman. Madison Chronicle: The Norfolk News
tells of a married woman, Mrs. J. C.
Deitrick, reeently of Crawford, who has
been confined in tho hospital for the in
sane at Norfolk for ten days and at the
time being perfectly sane. Her mother,
who lives in Pennsylvania, arrived in
Norfolk and had her daughter released.
It seems that Mrs. Dei trick's husband
wanted to get rid of his wife and used
this hellish means for his purpose. A
severe punishment should bo adminis
tered to the brute, and if there has been
any conniving among the doctors and
commissioners of insanity they should
also be summarily dealt with.
Schuyler Quill: James Legga was in
the city this week and we questioned
him about his killing a panther recently
ont on his father's farm on Maple creek.
He said that the animal was either a
panther or a monntain lion. It was
about five feet long and would weigh
about ninety pounds, being rather cat
like in appearance. There were two of
them, but the other escaped and is still
at large. For some time there has been
rather a scare in that neighborhood, yet
tbe reports of tho animals lieing seen or
heard were not altogether believed.
This settled the matter, as the pelt shows
for itself. They were of a tawny color
and were decidedly fierce looking. Our
Maple creek people should organize and
hunt the other animal.
Schuyler Sun, Feb. 13: The hog
cholera is still in some parts of the coun
ty. We understand that John Rickert's
are dying in the northern part of Shell
Creek precinct and that several others
in the same neighborhood lost their hogs
sometime ago Diphtheria has made
its appearance in one or two places in
tbe city Colfax county is liablo to
have another irrigation ditch soon. Sev
eral parties among whom are James
Gadsden, John VanHonsen, Sim Green
and C. II. Chase are talking of tapping
the Platte river near the Binder farm
and running the ditch from there throngh
their farms and then to the slough.
Nothing has been done yet only to talk
it over, but a meeting will be held in a
few days by the interested parties when
the subject will assume more definite
shape and as all seem heartily in favor
of tbe plan there is little doubt but that
it will go through Notwithstanding

That "There is nothing new under the
sun" does not always convey the truth.
Especially is this true as regards the
new composite cars now operated daily
via The Chicago, .Union Pacific and
Northwestern Line between Salt Lake
City and Chicago.
These handsome Buffet Smoking and
Library Cars are entirely new through
out, of latest design, contain all modern
improvements, and are well supplied
with writing material, the leading daily
papers, illustrated periodicals, maga
zines, etc.
The fact that these cars run daily via
"The Overlaqd Limited" and that the
Union Pacific was the lino west of
Chicago to inaugurate this service shouLl
commend itself to all.
See that your tickets read via "The
Overland Route."
