building, but raj. up and down the
halls hNwling and crying; others
escaped the fiery Ilarnrs by tearing

An Arkansas I,ucoIic village has
gone up in the flames. The former

also to help the hundreds OF miners

ever been done than is being now
done in the attempt 10 connect
Hon. Abraham S. Hewitt and Hon.
Samuel J. Randall, in any improp-
per way with the Chincse-Nory
letter. These gentlemen expressed
an opinion that The signature t"
that letter was written BY General
Garfield. Ninety nine in a hun
lred, familiar with til. Generals
hand writing, would believe til"
same thing. There are dozens Of
men here who have letters from
him, and who, If the Morey sigma

him wonld be unable 10 say which
was his aud which was not.
Mcssrs. Hewitt and Randall! gave
their opinion after a fac-simile had
been published. Judge Davis, in
commenting on the case, mistakes
the facts in this respect. or courre,
the attempt to injure these gentle.
men is made because they are rep.

very gratifying fact that both Of
them have the unlimited confidence
Of the communities in which they
live.
Inan open letter to Robert Ing
ersoll in Il paper in this city, the
actual clo*Gncss Of the late election
is fairly stated as follows;
"pratctically nine millions Of
people, equally divided, stood still
in order 10 see whether the vast
sum Of money contributed by stock

ficiarics could be successfully used

Sherman will work hard to get
through his refunding bill, and the
Democrats will insist Oh making Il
re-appurtiOnment Of members oflhe
House Of Representatives under
the new Census returns. Both
these measures will cause debate.
l am sorry 10 say that there is rca-
son to believe Senator Malone, oI
Virginia, will act with the Republi.
cans in organizing the Senate in
March next. He refuses still IL
say what lie will do. but his par.
tieular friends say he is 80 incensed
against the Democratic party be-
cause Of the action Of its National
COMMITTEE in regard to the Virgin
in affairs, that he will not act will
that party. 1t is understood that
he has agreed to meet General Car

OF the number Of Immigrants ar

ten thousand. From 1906 till the

ceased, but in 1911 immigration
almost ceased, but in lSlG the
steady flow was resumed, and in
the following year (lSl7) 222,240j
