He Will Probably Have No More
Government Contracts.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-An old govern
ment contractor, in speaking tonight of
the last failure of the Dolphin, said itplaced
John Roach in a aposition, the character of
which those who do contract work for the
government could best appreciate. Said
he: 'It isn't generally known that there
is a rule applying to all kinds Of govern
ment work that where a man has once
failed to fulfill contract he is barred from
further contracts. The government keeps
roll of what are called fail
ing contractors" 1t is useless
for one of them to bid on government work,
unless the fact that he is on the list should
happen to be overlooked. This chance did
favor a man who got a contract a while ago
for part of the work on the new pension
building. Somebody remembered that he
had once failed on job. The matter was
looked up, and, sure enough, there he was
failure he had obtained a govern
ment contract and carried it through
successfully. This was construed as
wiping out his previous bad record, SO he
was allowed to go ON with his pension
building work. But John Roach, unless he
can fix up this Dolphin business, is barred
out permanently on the government con-
tracts, for his case has received such pub
licity that he can never hope to slip in. If
I am not wrong there is an old law OF con-
gress on which this rule about failing con-
tractors is based"

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The Illinois
Democracy is catching it to-day. The
whole Democratic press of the East gives it
kick as it passes along the line from New
York to Washington.
The New York World says: 'sIt was in
the power of the Democrats to defeat Lo-
gan, but bad management, petty jealousies
and general decentralization prevented a
consulnmation devoutly wished for by the
whole country"
The Sun says: ''The Democrats of II
Inois might have elected Trumbull if they
had tried him, but were outgeneraled by the
Republicans"
The Herald says: ''Morison's obstinacy
defeated the party" and adds that the
party has enough of Morrison, and hopes
that he will not be appointed on the ways
and means committee again.
The Baltimore Sun says: ''The Illinois
Democrats have shown miserably inefficient
management all the way through the pro-
tfacted senatorial fight which had its end
ing to-day"
The Philadelphia Times says: 'sAfter the

Sunk BY an Iceberg.

QUEBEC, May 2O.-The crew of the Nor
wegian ship Moen, lost in collision with an
iceberg, arrived to-day. They report the
ship as having become firmly jammed in
the iceberg. Boats were got out and seven
men entered the first one which was speed
lily carried out of the vessels reach. AS
six more of the crew remained another boat
was got out, but she was at once smashed
and filled. Matters had begun to look
serious for those on the vessel, when the
first boat managed to get within hailing dis
tance. A line was thrown to her and she
was hauled along side. The remainder of
the crew succeeded in boarding her, except
one, Johaan Roht, native of Denmark,
who was left. The captain was the last to
leave the vessel and had a very narrow
escape, being thrown into the water and
carried down considerable distance, losing
consciousness. The crew, however, not
withstanding the darkness, managed finally
to rescue him. They had barely got clear
when the huge iceberg toppled over on the
doomed vessel, cutting herin two.

HALIFAX, May 2O.-The steamer Dra.,
COMA, already reported arrived and disabled,
presented a curious appearance as she
docked. Her stern, from the sixteen feet
draught mark for ten feet or more up, is
fattened back about three feet on the port
and five feet on the starboard, while above
this the stern is split perpendicularly as
though struck by an immense
battering ram. Capt. Sangster re-
ported that he left Charente
May 8, and passed out of the river May 9.
"We had fine weather to the banks and
passed the first iceberg on Saturday morn
ing, the 10th inst, at o'clock. The wind
was then sOutherly and the weather misty.
About p. m. the wind shifted to the north
and the weather cleared up. The night
was dark and cloudy. There was no fog
and the steamer was going at full speed.
At 10 o'clock the second iceberg was passed,
the wind being southwest. At II p. m. we
saw what appeared to be fog bank, on our
starboard bow. Being
APPRENTICESHIP OF DANGER,
orders were given to put the helm hard
a-starbOard, the engine at the same time
being stopped, when we could see that the
supposed fog bank was ice. AS it was i'm
possible to avoid the ice by the use of the
helm, the engines were backed full speed,
but they had not been moving in this direc-
tion over minute, and the
crew had scarcely time to
leave the forecastle before the ship came in
violent collision with the iceberg, making
terrible crash. The iceberg had come in
full view when the engines were running
full speed. The crew thought the steamer
would sink Immediately and preparations
were hurriedly made to abandon her,
while the glittering tower of ice
creakingly disengaged and slowly
drifted off. The captain made an exam
ination of the boat and discovered that the
damage was all before the collision bulk
head. It was also found that the ship was
making no water. Being steel ship, the
plates had not broken, but were simply
doubled in, forming sort of breakwater
for the bulkhead. No further accidents oc-
Cured, but thick weather was experienced

Killed by an Explosion.

ST. LOUIS, May 2O.-At 10 a. m. one of
the huge gasometers at the works of the st.
Louis Gas Light company exploded with a
terrible 0report. After the smoke had
cleared away the employees of the works,
who rushed to the scene, found three men
lying about the meter. Investigation showed
that John Burns and Tom Doran were dead
and that Thomas Killian, who was injured
about the head, was nsensible and in very
precarious condition. All the men had
been employed cleaning out the meter
which exploded, and which had been
out of use for some time.
The superintendent accounts for the acci-
dent by saying that gas was run into the
disused tank yesterday to try it, and the
men must have used light, which came
into contact with some Of the gas remaining
in the tank. John Burns had his head
torn completely from his body. He was a
married man, 45 years of age, and leaves a
wife and children. Tom Doran, helper, 25
years, and single, had his skull crushed and
died. Thomas Killian, fireman, remained
unconscious nearly an hour. His head was
severely injured, but he will probably re-

Corroborafing the Story.

CHICAGO, May Yesterday a story
was telegraphed from New York, related
by youth named Edward Santa Rosa, who
told of having been kidnapped at New Or
leans and carried off to Puerto Barrios,
where he and others were COM
PEELED to work ON a railroad as
a chain-gang. Richard Hagiart, the
sixteen-year-old brother of a respected
resident Of this city, relates similar eX-
perience He states that while in New
Orleans he was approached by the purser
of the steamer Ella Knight and induced to
90 on board, with the understanding that the
craft was in the fruit-carrying
trade and was going to a port in Florida to
load bananas Under like pretense four
teen others were taken on board at New
Orleans. The vessel went to Puerto Barrios,
where they were landed in small boats, told
off into gangs and compelled to work at
making railroad ties and cutting away
brush. The men were refused food when
they were too sick to work, and some were
placed in the stocks and whipped. Finally
some of the United States naval authorities
interfered and compelled the removal of
the sick to the states. Hagiart succeeded

RieI a Dictator.

1t is perhaps not generally known that
Louis Riel, leader of the Manitoba rebel
lion, was at one time citizen of the United
States. 1t is stated by parties familiar
with his history that he took out his papers
at Helena, Mont, about 1873 or 1874. He
had established himself in 1868 as presi-
dent of the district of Provincial,
British possessions, and carried on affairs
with very high hand. 1t is said that upon
one occasion Riel arrested white man
named Scott, Oh the charge of being a
Fenian or for some other political offense.
Scott was shot at by six half-breeds and
badly wounded. Before he died he was
put into rough pine box and nailed down.
Three hours after he, was still alive and
was heard eXclaiming, sFor Gods sake
take me out and kill me-" His request was
complied with finally. as a half-breed
thrust a knife into the wretched man. The
box containing the body was then carried
to the river and was there sunk.

Italian Laborers, Strike.

MILWAUKEE, May 20.-Last night the

up from Chicago thirty-six italian laborers
to fill the place of number of Poles, who
were on a strike. The Poles had been en-

for filling in section of marsh land on the

room. Wednesday night the men
were notified that their pay would
be cut from S1.25 to S1.1O per day. The
reduction was met with strike. This

NEW YORK, May .2O-The usual semi
weekly conference of Drs. Douglass and

Grants house and the throat of the general
was examined. The doctors found no
marked change. Some part of the swelling

less pain is the result. Since Sunday the
general has experienced none of the pains
that last week centered at the ear. Both
physicians referred to the excellent rest
Tuesday night.
The general had another good day. He
dictated several hours and then rested, after
which he resumed the compilation of his

Lord Melgrund,s mission.

been instructed to place Col. Otter's con-

without definite orders, before the minister

to relieve Battleford, but Gen. Middleton
entertained no idea of his engaging the big
Cree unless the Indians made an attack.
1t is also thought that he is here to explain
the exact situation of affairs in the North
west and get further advice for Middleton's
guidance in his future actions, his original
mission having been merely to suppress the
half-breeds' rebellion and to relieve the be-
leagured places, no Indian massacres hav-
ing been reported when he started. He is
also here to ascertain what plan Gen.

BAD BEN BUTLER.
He Will Force the Government to
Pay Him.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The govern
ment never had any dealings with Ben
Butler that it wasn't ''bested'' by the
widow. Just now there is trouble over the
big granite mansion on Capital hill, which
was rented some time ago for committee
rooms. Congress, just before the session
closed, ordered that the rooms be cleared
and that the building be surrendered. The
first half of the order was carried out
leisurely and the other day the keys were
offered to Buffers agent with the notifca-
ton that the building was not wanted any
longer. Under instructions from the owner
the agent refused the tender. Gen. Butler
has come to see that his legal position is
maintained in correct form. He sets up
the claim that the mansion was rented for
term which is not nearly at an end, and says
he will not accept the surrender. To out
siders he remarks significantly that $500
month is better than nothing" and says he
wants to see the government stop paying
rent. even if congress hasn't any use
for the building. The rental of the
house was a useless piece of
extravaganza to commence with. Half
dozen committees, which didn't meet half
dozen times session, were without COM
mittee rooms. The Butler mansion was
taken off the hands of Senator Jones of
Nevada, who had fallen behind with his
rent and was used to give a habitation in
name to these houseless committees.
About the only people in name who went
in and out of the big doors all winter were
the lonesome, but well paid, clerks of these
committees
