matter TO arbitration. The matter will come be-
fore the Legislature ~ soon IA the papers are

FINANCIAL lMBEcrLTY IN THE SENATE.-The
debate on the currency question in the Senate
yesterday indicates pretty clearly that the
aimless talk has broken down and that Sena-
tors would be ready to vote if they only knew
what to vote for. The case is one of down.
right despair, and SO it matters very little for
what the Senators VOTE only so that they vote
Tor something Perhaps the fnanciers of the
House may do better when the question gets
70 mat side of the Capitol. At any rate the
oenate should dispose of the matter one way
or another and give the House an opportunity
70 snow whether it has any practical skill in
financial Legislation.

assured that the spirit Of Mr.. Gilmore S letter

A LITTLE Political VOLCANO AT HOMO
LULU.-Prince Kalakua has been elected King
of the Sandwich Islands, and the opposition,
the supporters Of ex-Queen Emma, do not like
it. A serious riot was threatened when the
fact become known; mob attacked the Court
House, and force from the war vessels in the
harbor had to be landed to restore order.
Volcanic explosions are common enough in
the islands, but there is hardly material suHi-
cient among the Kanakas for great political
disturbance The story of the whole trouble
Is told elsewhere.

DIsCREDIrABLE JUDGEs.-The extraordinary
conduct OF the Justices of the Seventh District
Civil Court yesterday is in every way dis
creditable. After reading the report of the
proceedings in to-day's HERALD the people of
this city will be surprised and mortified at
judicial acts so unseemly that it appears
almost impossible they should have occurred.
Taking any view of the question at issue
between Mcclure and Stemmler the affair is
disgraceful.

Professor Proctor.

We publish this morning a letter from Mr..
Richard A. Proctor, the distinguished English
astronomer, who asks his American cor
respondents, whose letters he has been unable
to answer directly, to excuse him on account
Of the severity OF the work he has been doing
in this country. The mere delivery of the
seventy-fve lectures Professor Proctor has
given in this country, without the labor and
exhaustion of travel, was sufficient work for
the winter, but with the travel added, it is a
work that would tax the strongest constitution.
In view Of all this the favor Professor Proctor
asks of Americans is very slight one, and the
kindly appreciation he evinces in return is
something to be cherished But if Professor
Proctor appreciates the American people they
also have shown that they appreciate him.
Wherever he has gone he has met intelligent
and earnest audiences. His grsat attainments
as an astronomer and his skill as o lecturer,
which is in no way inferior to his scientific
requirements, were always fully recognized
Professor Proctor has done more in this
country than make q sensation-he has
created profound interest in the topics he
discusses and he will find that this interest
extends to himself by the eagerness with
which his London lecture on Science in
America" will be awaited.

Encouraging American Shipbuilding.
We congratulate Mr.. John Roach upon the
launch of the iron steamship City OF Picking
and upon the distinguished company which
sent the vessel into the stream. In all this
we see not only the glory of being an excel
lent shipbuilder, but the value Of Washington
associations. It is not every man nor every
shipbuilder who could command the presence
on such an occasion of so many distinguished
statesmen. Mr.. John Roach did it because
he is dear to the Congressional heart, and
when he cannot go to Congress, Congress
goes to him. Senator Cameron and Repre-
sentative Scofeld were present, because
they are from Pennsylvania, where the
ship was built and Senator Kelley, Of
Oregon, and Representative Houghton,
of California, because their States are on the
ocean the vessel is to sail. Messrs. Wheeler, of
New York; Conger, of Michigan, and Coburn,
of Indiana, were all on board, the first because
he is chairman of the Committee on Com
MERGE, and the others because neither patents
nor military affairs have anything to do with
commerce. These are only few OF the dis
tinguished gentlemen who showed their zeal
for American shipbuilding, The result was
that the House was nearly empty and Roach's
shipyard chock full Indeed, there were more
congressman at Chester than in Washington.
1t is q noble thing to encourage American
shipbuilding and every Congressman who
went to Chester yesterday knew it was safe to
encourage it, for he knew Roach, which was
tantamount to knowing that the dinner would
be excellent and the wines reasonably good.

HE'LL GATE IMPROVEMENT. A petition to
Congress is in course of signature asking for
an appropriation to complete the He'll Gate
Improvement We hope the question will re-
ceive the careful attention of our lawmakers.
1t is one which directly affects the pros
perity OF this city and the commerce of
the country at large. The removal of
the distractions at He'll Gate will
bring the capital of America a day
nearer to Europe, and in these days of
rapid communication this is of the utmost
importance, not alone to New York but to the
commerce of the country, which is carried on
through our port. Large sums have already
been expended, and if the work is worth being
done at all it is worth while doing it quickly.
We hope that Congress will see the necessity
for pushing on tho work without unnecessary
delay:

destructive Fires in Chicago.

CHICAGO, January 20.-rwO large fires oc
CURED here to-day-lOss 500 600. Both are out
now. Between and O'Clock this morning A
ire broke out in the Union Central depot bald
ing, occupied by the Michigan Central, Illinois
Central, and the Chicago, Burlington AVID
Quincy railroads, and in short tine
made such progress as 20 defy
the nre department. The building was
entirely consumed. The baggage in the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy baggage room
was nearly all lost; only a few pieces being
saved and taken TO the freight depot, across the
street. The baggage in the other room al the
south end of the depot, was saved; the ire being
put out before il reached that far. Some OF the
baggage. however, had been already removed
TO place of safety. Nothing was saved from
any OF the Offices connected with the depot all
being swallowed up in the common destruc-
ton. The tracks were crowded with cars, and
most Of them were saved, but the men were un-
able 10 remove a number Of fine passenger cars.
The depot was a frame building put up after
the great fire for temporary purposes.
While this ire was in progress and claimed
the attention OF the fire department, the bell
sounded again, and the announcement made
that large stone front block on State street,
Chicago, between Van Buren, and Harrison
streets, was also on fire. IL was fully twenty
minutes before an engine reached the ground
and the flames made such progress that live
buildings were soon entirely consumed.
The fire was first seen in Armstrong; paint and
oil store, Nos. %, 90, and 29S State street. and
from here the flames spread on either side u
the adjoining buildings. These buildings were
new, having been erected since the great nre.

From the Herald -" No other reason is an

Death Of the siamese Twins.
PARTICULARS CoscEeSISG THEN.


In another colamn will be found a telegram
announcing the death OF the Siamese twins
This was the name given to two youths, En-
and Chang, born of Chinese parents in SIAM
in 1911, having their bodies united by a baud Of
flesh, stretching from the end of one breast
bone to the same place In the opposite twin
The sur vival to advanced lite OF such a Issus
nature makes this one OF the most remarkabls
cases on record. A union OF the bodies of twins
by various pal Is is not an unusual occurrence.
Ambrose Pere has de picted instances OF union
by the back, belly, and forehead. The last oc
CURED in two girls, who lived to the age OF ten
years, when one of them dying, a separation
was made; the wound OF the living girl assume a
bad character, and soon proved fatal. Tue
Hungarian sisters, who lived about a century
since, were united by the back, bad one passage
from the intestines, and each had one from NJ
urinary organs. They died when they were =
years of age. The Siamese twins were pur-
chased of their mother at MekIong, a city
of Siam, and were brought to America
by Captain Coffin and Mr.. Hunter in 1879.
ON examination, the connecting band seem ii
to have united them at first face TO face, but
that they stood partially side by side It's length
above was about two inches; below nearly four;
from above, downwards it measured three
inches; and It's gre ateSt thickness was one and
a half inches. 1t was covered with skin, and
when the center was touched both felt it; but
on touching either side of the median line, only
the nearest individual was sensible of it. The
connection between the Sismese twins present
ed many interesting points in regard TO physi-
ology and pathology, for although they formed
two perfectly distinct beings. they appeared
most frequently to think. act, and move as one
individual. 1t had been a matter of much
question what would be the effect of the death
of one OF them upon the other, and the twins
some years ago visited Europe and consulted
the most eminent surgeons as to the adyisa-
bility of cutting the ligature that united them
The advice was untavOrable and the
general opinion expressed by medical men was
that cutting the cord would be fatal to both.
Though the telegram announcing their death
would seem to indicate that the imme date sur
vivor of the two finally died from other causes
than the connection with the dead body, it ;
probable that the death of the one would have
followed closely upon the death of the other in
any event After realizing a competence by the
exhibition of themselves in the various ceun-
tries of Europe and America, the Siamese twins
settled in North Carolina, where they marie I
two sisters and had offspring. Owing to domes-
tic quarrels, however, two houses were found
necessary, each living with his wife alternately
week at time. Ruined by the war of the
rebellion, the Siamese twins set out upon a new
tour of exhibition, which enabled them t.
repair their shattered fortunes and return to
their North Carolina farm.

How THE Co-oPERATIvE SYSTEM woHKs.-
special dispatch 10 the Chicago Tribune
from Dwight, January -, saws. The grangors
OF Dwight, Mon, Round Grove, Nevada, and
Brouelton held a meeting to-day, for the pur-
pose OF taking the preliminary steps for the
purchasing Of a warehouse for the shipping OF
their own grain. The grangers were largely
represented, and IL was resolved, IL sufficient
funds could be raised, to purchase and operate
warehouse on their own account. The gram
gers IN this locality have, during the past six
month";, been buying very largely, AZ Wholesale
rates, OF groceries, &c, and are satisfied that
they have saved from % TO 80 per cert by the
operation. A case occurred here the other day
which will illustrate how grangers are doing
their business. The Wide-awake grange, COM
posed OF farmers living at Round Grove town
ship, and who have been literally the most
wlde-awake grange in this county, completely
swamped the market of Dwight In the article
OF kerosene. Formerly we paid 70 cents gallon
for 1t. This wide-swake grange sent 20 Chicago
and purchased two barrels of kerosene oI OF
the best quality, for which they paid u cents a
gallon. They then cold il out 20 the members
OF their grange for 20 cents a gallon.
