ALMOST suFFooATED BY EsoAPNa GAs.-on
Wednesday, while some workmen were engaged
In making connection between the water main
in Fourth street and Taylor & Bsadenkopf's
morocco factory, plug was dispaced:fr the
gas main and one OF the workman was almost
suffocated by the escaping gas. He was pulled
out of the opening in the earth in an insensible
condition, but after the application of restora-
tives was enabled to resume his labors in short
time. When the building was first erected the
plumbers carelessly connected the water pipes
with the gas main, and finding tbemistake which
they had made they as carelessly plugged up
the hole with piece OF wood, and it was the
accidental removal of the plug which caused the
mishap related above.

The New York herald., 1873-11-20

nounce and disown such outrages as those
which have been committed by the Spanish
butchers in Cuba; only as q republic which
will applaud us for vindicating our national
honor against the lawless acts of men who
defy the authority of Spain. and for Furnishing
crimes against civilization and humanity. II
Castelar's young Republic should desire to
continue in Cuba the savage rule which ex-
listed there under the monarchy; should
justify the acts of barbarity which
have for years been committed on the
island in the name of Spain, and
object to the complete overthrow Of the cruel
and lawless men who exercise a terrorism over
the Spanish government itself, then the Amer
ican people will regard it as undeserving of
sympathy; as calculated to bring republican
institutions into contempt: as q reproach to
the name of free government. Under any
circumstances we cannot suffer any senti-
mentality about the Spanish Republic to deter
us from vindicating our own national honor,
which we can only do effectually by prompt
and decisive action, by occupying Cuba and
teaching her piratical rulers their response
bility to the rest of the world. If the admins
tration hesitates or shrinks from its plain duty
the people will look to Congress for the rem
edy; but, unless the government is too spirit
less or too Indifferent. our troops will be in
Cuba before Congress assemblies.

THE ALLEN-HOGAH FIGHT.

OMAHA, Nov. 10, 1873.
Jim Eagan, the stakeholder III the Hogan Allen
prize fight, was arrested last night on a charge
OF embezzlement. Bail was refused, and he was
sent to jail. He searched for the stake money,
and only 5000 were found on him. The arrest
was made at the instgaton of Hogan
and his friends, on account OF Eagan
and Looney's decisi on made in the evening, that
Allen should have the prize money. He was obsti-
nate at first, but this morning he weakened ana is
now willing to pay over $1,000 to each.
and the charge will be dismissed as soon
as suflcent guarantees are given for
division OF the money. The excursion money has
been equally divided between the two parties.
Aliens whereabouts is unknown. There Is
very much I'll feeling against MIN. 1t Is

THE CHIEF JusT1cEsHp.-I is reported from
Washington that Mr.. Conkling declines the
Office of Chief Justice, and this upon mature
deliberation, the proffer of the place having
been made to him not recently. Should this
prove true we shall rejoice that the President
has at least one friend who has some dscre-
ton and tact enough not to accept an Office
for which he is thoroughly unfit, and his oc-
cupancy of which would be national scandal
II the President has offered Mr.. Conkling the
place of Secretary of State, and the mission
at London, and Mr.. Conkling has declined
those positions also, he is either resolute in
his refusal to take Office or very doubtful
whether republican Senator can be elected
in his place.

THE SNoB VIEw.-It is the opinion of some
OF our Cockney critics that the President

should take any energetic steps in the asser-
ton of the honor and dignity of the nation.
In the view taken by the noble army Of snohs
the President Of the United States NAV assuYne
that bis great Office is little piece of personal
property, to be administered on private ac.
count only; he may debauch the national
sense of decency by retaining thieves in Office
because he likes them, thus putting his per-
sonal inclinations above public morality and
honesty; he may, as in the case of Louisiana,
assume powers more dangerous and extrava-
giant than any charged against johnson in the
Bill Of Impeachment; and all this would be
quite reasonable and proper In all this the
snob intellect can see no harm at al, and mos
assuredly no C@sarism. But only let him
speak little plainly ito some regular govern
ment, you know let him assert the rights ot
the nation against Spain, and that will be
dreadully repreaensible, quite shocking
even Cesarism, if you like.

THE MERCANTILE BANK-THE DUTY or
DIRECTORS In the course of conversation
with one Of our reporters most important
statement was made by one Of the directors
Of the Mercantile Bank. According to this
director the temporary difficulties in which
the bank found itself involved were due to the
'oser-confdence which the president had in
the transactions Of the Domestic Sewing Ma
chine Company. Too much money had been
lent them altogether and upon insufficient Sc
curity" When such statements are 80 freely
made one naturally asks himself the ques-
ton, What is the use of bank directors Is
it not their duty to look after the general in
terests of the bank, and, among other things,
to see that neither cashier nor president
abuses the confidence reposed in bim2 We
have had many examples of late of the re-
missnoss of bank directors. They have been
too much in the habit of leaving all to be
done by the president; tho president again
