Tho Garfield Memorial hospital on It's Last
Leg. EinnncInlly.

wAsuISoroS, D. c., Jan. 29.-The Gar
field Hospital here is in financial straits.
The building was finished and furnished
and opened for the reception OF pa
tients some months ago. 1t is we'll fitted
M for hospital purposes and ought to be a
valuable aid to suffering humanity. The
great obstacle in the way OF its usefulness
lies in the fact that it has no endowment or
other permanent resoufcc to meet its ex-
penses. The income from paying patients
Is wholly insufficient and the managers are
brought face to face with the important
question of what is TO bO done to sustain
i. The efforts OF the ladies Of Washing
ton have been enlisted and they have
raised considerable amount OF money
for the institution by fairs aud en-
tertainments. Such uncertain sources
Of supply can not, however, be depended
upon and the treasury is now in very de-
pieted condition. Itisproposed TO give o
national tea party iorits benefit theeven-
ing OF March 5, the night following the in
aueuration ball andin the area of the Pen
sion building, which is being fitted up for
that event, but other schemes for the oc-
cupancy OF the building on the 5th-conflict
with 1t, and 1t Is not believed the arrange
ment can be made. Friends Of the hospi'
tai say that il will have to be closed soon
unless some plan can bo devised'to insure

Beer and melancholy.

SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. 22.-This morning
when the clerk in icoursenes, Clemons &
Company opened the store he was horri-
fed to see the body of a man dangling
from the elevator chain in the rear Of the
building. 1t was the corpse Of Louis
Ladenberger, a Bavarian officer in the
Franco-P -Prussian war, aged AZ. He has
been in the city several years working in
a brewery. Two years ago he fell out OF

THE HOOKING VALLEY.

ing Mines.


COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 22.-The meeting OF
the miners which was announced to take
place at New straitsvillo yesterday after
noon was postponed for few days until
the conference could be better advertised.
Many OF the old non-employed miners
seem willing to return to work il an op-
portunity should be given them, and are
now anxious to raise force Of men to ex-
tinguish the fire in the Troy mines. by
such action they hope TO receive work
from the syndicate or Coal Exchange and
consequently have issued call for meet
ing to arrange for carrying out their plans.
But all lawful measures arc dlsapproved
by the striking element in the Valley and
they will do everything in their power to
prevent the men returning to work at q re-
duced price.
Il is evident that the State Association
OF Miners has been damage to the miners
in the Hooking Valley rather than a help;
as 1t would be impossible to retain high
price Of mining there and permit low
prices elsewhere without destroying all
chances OF success OF maintaining high
rate Of mining in the most favorably loca.
ted mines in Ohio; for throughoutthe en-
tire valley low rate OF mining could be
held which would bring good results TO
both operator and miner However, It Is
denied that this association believes that
the 70 cent rate can yet be secured, provi-
ded the strikers hold out long enough (;
and since they are receiving sufficient aid
from outside sources to live comfortably
they are not inclined In the least to accept
the reduction, although the Coshocton
miners and those near Pittsburgh are
working at q lower rate and making good
wages.
Nothing has ever taken place at Nelson.
Vile, the trouble appearing to be centered
at New Straitsville. The continued cold
weather Is supposed to have q bad effect
upon the strikers, as 1t interferes materi-
ally with their proceedings. General Su-
perintendent Carr, OF the Hooking Valley
Railroad, said to-day that their arrange
ments were about completed for an
outbreak, and that they were only await

CHANCES OF qmE TREATIES.
Republican Prefer to Leave the whole Mat.

tor with the New Administration.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 22.-The ex-
citement regarding the treaties before the
Senate has in great measure subsidized.
Bat six weeks more Of the session remain,
and each day adds to the uncertainty
that exists regarding all OF them.
One Of the chief reasons for nom
action may be found in the fact
that there are SO many so-called states
men who look at all public measures from
political standpoint. Their action is TO
a great degree governed by the elect upon
their party. 1t is conceded that these
treaties are largely experimental. No one
can say with certainty just what the
effect OF their ratification upon our in
terests will be. Many Republicans evil
IDENTIFY preferthatthe whole responsibility
shall be placed upon the new Admins
tration. II any or all OF the treaties
should be ratified and carried into effect
by the present Administration, and
the result should be disastrous, the
blame would be laid at the door OF
might tr have been doneiarsely by the aid
Of Democratic votes would not be
taken into account. The public would
not stop to analyze the vote in
Congress, but would seize only upon
the fact that 1t was accomplished
while the Republican party was in power.
II on the other hand. the treaties
should prove to be good thing
and help to restore prosperity to the
country, the Democratic Admins
tration would claim all the credit OF it
and would probably manage to get 1t.
The Democrats seem to be treading on
eggs and do not know what to do. Those
best informed appear to think the treaties
will "get left" for tile present.

HE DOES NOT LOVE M,LEAN.
Tho Prssident-Eiect Fails to Appreciate the
EnterprIse Of the "Enquirer.n


WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 22.-Thc latest
political pilgrim from Albanyis Hon. Bev-
erly Tucker. He reports MIR. Cleveland
in excellent health and spirits, which Is
in the highest degree gratifying. Some
body says he was told by a friend that he
understood Congressman to say that a
certain Senator overheard the converse
ton Of a gentleman whose second cousin
had Just had an interview with Tucker,
and the latter assures him that Mr.. Cleve.
lands bowels Of compassion and kindness
do not yearn violently toward John Nc
Lean and the petroleum element in
Ohio politics. It is ascertained through
this devious and uncertain chan
mel Of information that the President
etect expressed himself in very en-
pbatic and duDparliamentary language con-
cesning the course and attitude OF the
Enquirer during the early part of the
campaign. Those Democratic politicians
here who believe this story naturally con-
clude that Mclean will not be consulted to
any great extent US to the Cabinet and
need not be sent by way Of Cincinnati for
preliminary endorsement. This story is
going round here and is given for what II
Is worth, which, probably isn't much. II
there is such man as Cleveland at all,
and iihe really talked to Tucker, it is like
ly that the reverse Of what is told OF the
interview is nearest the truth. In any
event whatever is told to-day will be de-
MED tomorrow.

No Cut ut ril,sburgh.

PirrsBuRGn, Jan. 22.-Assistant General
Passenger Agent Scull, OF the Pennsyl-
vania company, said to reporter:
mo, sir. There is no cut here OF any
sort. First-class rates remain tho same
both East and West on our lines and Wild
cat statements that find their way into
print have no foundation in fact"
General Freight Agent Stewart, Of the
Pennsylvania lines, said he had not heard
OF any cut in freight rates, save what the
newspapers have stated.
Is It not true that pooling arrangements
are at an end?
sit is not true, and it couldn't be very
well. All parties to the pool desiring to
withdraw must give proper notice, and un-
less such notice is given there is no with
drawal."
Would notacuttine Of rates be sufficient
notice OF withdrawal?
mo, because = rate might be made Of
ten cents by railroad company and get
turned into tho pool at twenty cents. In
that case the pool would not suffer the loss
falling on the company direct. II fthere is
a cut 1t does not effect any point west OF
Pittsburgh, and would only have bearing
on shipments from the east"
A visit was made to the other railway
offices, and general freight agents declared
rates intact as far as they knew, and il
there had been cutting in the east they
had not been notified.

ELECTION FRAUDS.

A Discovery in Chicago Which May Give
the Legislature to the Republicans.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-During the invest-
CATION into recent election matters, the,
County Grand Jury has tumbled upon
what may be an important discovery, in
view OF the closeness Of Democratic. and
Republican strengthen the State Legisla-
ture. In the Fourth Senatorial district,
Cantwell the Democratic candidate for
State Senator, was declared elected and
Manner, Republican, defeated. A thor
ouvh examination OF the ballots, it is
said, gives the following vote in that dis
trict: Blaine, 1910; Lawrence, the sec
ond Republican candidate, 2,222;; sub
tracting this last number from
the total Republican vote cast for Blaine
leaves 4,0SS Republican votes for Mamar.
Cleveland's vote was 5,7S5. OF this total
Of l, 5,7S5 Democratic voters, Cantwell, the
Democratic Senatorial candidate, only got
5,1Ss. There were left 507 Democratic
votes, which must have been cast for
somebody else, but in the returns they
were totally unaccounted for. AS Mamar
| llhS always uhu " III E6' bcLlIOCIdtlOs nup-
port in his district, IL is thought by some
only reasonable to suppose that this bal
anCe Of Democratic votes not cast for
Cantwell, and not accounted for in the re-
turns, we're really cast for Manner. Adding
them to Manners acknowledged vote Of
I,9Ss, and his vote would make total OF
5,5S5. Subtracting Cantwell's vote from
this, it leaves majority for Manner OF
S07.
1t is learned tonight that the county
special grand jury has voted TO indict 955
Judges ofthe recentelection for permitting
carelessness and frauds through which
100000 appropriation for additional
police was made TO appear car
ried by a majority OF fourteen thou
sand when in reality the proposition
was defeated by several hundred

The Break Denied in One Quarter and Adj
mItted IN Another.

htttcu 4u
New YoRK, Jan. 22.-The only new de-
yelopment with the railroads was in the
west-bound freight pool. Both the West
Shore and the Lackawanra are members
of this pool, and some hopes have been
entertained that it would escape the raw
ages Of the war. Such, however, is not
the case. Since the companies decided a
week ago to look out each for itself so far
as east-bound rates are concerned, all
have been devoting themselves to acquir-
ing business both ways.
Commissioner Fink visited the offices
Of some of the companies with the view
OF persuading them TO stand by the west
bound pool. So far as can bc learned he
met with Indifferent success. All seem
bent on securing business regardless OF
contract provisions, which each accuse the
other Of breaking. What the rates actu-
ally are is not made public. That they
are below the schedule no one doubts.
