The Recent Philadelphia FailMres--Frauds
Practiced-- Other SMspensiOns.
New York, Jan. 23.-The Post in its
financial column, speaking of the failures
yesterday in Philadelphia says: 1t appears
now as if there was some arrangement be-
tween all the firms by which paper was made
and sold in way that proper business man
agement does not recognize. We know of
one buyer here who bought fifteen pieces of
this paper, each piece of which was drawn by
some one Of the smaller firms, endorsed by
+. & @. Stokes. Out of the fifteen pieces
only one piece turned out good. 1t is esti-
mated that between 100000 and 5000, 600 of
the paper of these firms was sold here. AS
leather paper always ranked high it sold very
well. A considerable amount of it was also
placed in New England.
One of the Oldest bankers here says he
never knew so distrustful a time; that while
the number of failures is large, the worst
light some new form of deception or fraud,
and that it is more difficult than he ever
knew it to use the money of bank SO as to
get anything like fair interest on it without
endangering the principal of the loaner.

insane committee, both standing and joint
special, with your reporter as the only news
paper representative, left st. Paul at 7:15
this morning, reaching st. Peter at 1:3O.
The party, numbering about twenty, was met
by officers of the asylum and prominent citi

to the Nicollet House for dinner, and thence
to the main asylum, where every department
of the grand edifce and crowded wards were
carefully inspected, experimenting Physi-
clan Bartlett, with Chairmen McHench, Fid-
des and West leading the van. The sights
were new to most of the visiting committee,
and much interest WAS manifested. DR..
Boardman, of st. Paul, came up with us to
deliver lecture tonight before the lecturs
club on some curiosities of language, and &C
companied us through the Asylum. We
spent three hours in the main institution;
then also visited the old hospitals in town.
President Brown, Treasurer Kerr, of the
Board of Regents, and other officers, accom-
panied US throughout, and returned to the

while pleased with what is now here, will ia
vor the construction elsewhere in the State

insane.
The day has been windy and raw and cold
since ten a. m., but warm hospitalities have
made everything genial here. AL members
of the committees, with friends, attended the
popular lecture of DR.. Boardman this eve
ming by invitation of the club. The court
house, once proposed as State capitol was
densely crowded, and the lecture we'll re-
ceived. The party leave to return at 1880
tomorrow morning. At this hour banquet

The L,.,nLe,1ne,,,. Troubles.

Parties arriving from Pine City last even
ing report numbering operations in that re-
gion as almost at standstill. A good many
crews are still in the woods, but are doing
nothing, the men being retained at board
wages while awaiting snow in order to go to
work. In some instances snow is being
hauled distance of two and half miles,
and shoveled upon the main logging road, in
order to allow of any work being done at all.
One day last week the Pine County Lumber
Company had sixteen teams at this work,
each of which hauled on an average 75 bush
els of snow in a load. This company is only
one of number Of logging firms that are
doing the same thing. The woods are al
most entirely bare of snow, and they are
compelled to get it along the streams and in

Miscellaneous.
TIMBER INVESTIGATIONS.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The House COM
mittee on appropriations to-day heard the
secretary of the interior, the commissioner
of the general land Office, and the assistant
attorney general for the interior department.,
in advocacy of the appropriation of $45,OGO
to continue operations against depredators
on public timber lands. Representatives
Hooker and Jones, of Alabama, oppose the
proposed appropriation. They claimed
many of the recent actions of the government
in regard to timber seizures, &C., in the Gulf
States, had been harsh, oppressive and ille-
gal.
TAXING SAVINGS BANKS.
The subcommittee on ways and means to-
day heard an argument of Col. Robert G.
IngersoI, showing that the laws now in force
taxing savings banks, operate unequally in
different parts of the country, aud should ba
repealed. In behalf of the institutions, he held
it was unjust to tax the earnings or income
of depositors, and that if the necessities of
the government required an increased reve-
nue. from banks, let it be raised by tax on
profits.
APPOINTMENTS.
The President appointed Henry G. Young
and John Grossins, of Ohio, and George p.
Hart and John E. Harbridge, of Florida,
honorary commissioners to the industrial
exposition at Paris. They were nominated

1t ls safe to say that there was not solitary
individual at the Opera House last night who
was not highly delighted with the ''Poor Young
Man And although there was buta moderate
attendance, applause was frequent and hearty.
There is q marked improvement in this most
excellent company since it's last visit here. OF
course the leading roles are well Sustained as
they were before, but the support is more eff
Gent, and the play is much better dressed.
Miss Rose Wood was handsomer and more
sparkling than ever, and threw herself
into the spirit of the situations with an
abandon that was delightful. Margurite's pet
uiency, hauteur, sparkling humor, bitter irony
and deep smouldering passion, with their
countless shades, were admirably portrayed by
her-her beautiful face is not of the expression-
less, wax doll kind, but yivacious and mobile in
the extreme, and one hardly knows which to
admire most, her merry, ripping laugh, or her
scintillating glances. There were passages how
ever, that were somewhat oyerstrained and
need moderating, notably in the tower scene.
Dir. Morrison was equally good as Manuel, and
it is not the smallest praise to say that both he
and Miss Wood are very careful and earnest in
their reading, not always the case now a-days
upon the stage. J. E. Irving could not be 9th
erwise than happy as Doctor Desmarets. VIM.
NJ. Dell was very acceptable Mons. DeBevan-
Laroque, especially in the death scene:
Miss Josephine Craig made a good
impression as Heloine, but at times
she lacked spirit. Miss Lizzie Irving
kept the house in perfect state of merrimenu
from beginning to end, and was once brought
before the curtain, as was also Nr. Morrison
and Miss Wood. From the time the curtain
rose till it's fall applause followed applause,
indicating how thoroughly the performance
was enjoyed. The Marble Heart" will be
placed upon the boards this evening, and can
not be other than refreshing treat in the
| hands of one of the best companies that have
| ever visited st. Paul.

peace An a1m1SIlCe can only O0 concerted
after an arrangement is arrived at on peace
preliminaries. The British Cabinet declares
it would only recognize peace in the con-
clusion of which Europe participated. II
follows that even in the face of the Porte's
signature peace preiminaries would be
worthless. The Porte's assent not being
binding because Europe might annul it.
The situation is further aggravated By the
declaration of the British government that ii
would await Russia's condition before de-
manding credit, 60 that if the present al
tempt fails the attitude of England would
have rendered an armistce and peace i'm
possible, and would plunge the East into
fatal complications. We are far from enter
tanning the idea that the British cabinet de-
sires this, although to every sincere and im-
partial observer, the cogency of our argu-
ment will be manifest Europe must judge,
and it is necessary that in the public con-
science and before the tribunal of history
everybody should bear their proper share of
the responsibility.

DIsCRKDITED.
LONDON, Jan. 23.-Reports of Russian ad-
vance beyond Adrianople are attracting at
tention, but the wild, statements from Con-
stantinople do not commend much credit
1t was thought at most only a few Russian
cavalry can have been seen in the direction
of Gallipolis.
ENGLAND's POSITION.
In the House of Commons yesterday, the
under secretary of the foreign department.
in reply to question, said: The foreign Of
fee has received no authentic information
that strong Russian force was marching on
Gailipolis, but had received reports the truth
of which it had no means of Judging that
Russian troops were advancing in that di-
rection. The panic in Constantinople conse-
quent on the evacuation of Adrianople and
the arrival of thousands of refugees would be
sufficient to account for the circulation of
such runors.
TURKS DEMAND PEACE.
LONDON, Jan. 23.-The Turkish Parlia-
ment has voted an address asking tue Sultan
to hasten the conditions of peace, or if that
be made impossible or onerous Russian con-
ditions, to organize resistance to the bitter
