n WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Rumors have
have been afloat all afternoon of the severe
ILLNESS Of Secretary Manning. They grew
] outof the fact that the secretary had been
taken home from the treasury in his car
riage and was carried from his Office to the
carriage, being unable to walk. Upon in
, quiry at the secretary's residence, it was
stated that he had simply met with pain
full accident while returning to his Office
from the meeting Of the cabinet. He had
walked over from the white house, and,
without waiting for the elevator to take
him to his room on the second floor,
walked up the two flights of stairs. On
reaching the upper landing his foot sud-
denly turned under, severely wrenching
his ankle. .T
DR.. Lincoln, who attended Secretary
Manning at his home, gave the following
statement to an associated press reporter:
The secretary was seized with vertigo on
his return to the Office for cabinet meeting.
He had been walking all day without
taking any nourishment and was feeling
very weak. He walked up two flights of
stairs and upon reaching the top was at
tackled by vertigo and partly fell and part
ly sat down. His sudden illness alarmed
his friends and he was taken home. His
mind was perfectly clear and he had free
use eof all limbs and gave very clear ac-
count OF every thing that had occurred.
Two OF three hours after his attack he had
improved very much. -.
At midnight Dr.. Lincoln, who had just
left the secretary's bedside, said Mr. Man
ming was holding his own, and had slightly
improved since the last visit. The secre-
tary's mind was still clear, and he did not
anticipate any change for the worse during
the night. The secretary's illness, DR.. Lin
coin says, was caused by prostration from
over work. He has been working very hard,
and had great many things on his mind
lately, and the result was prostration. In
spite of the hopeful view of the case taken
by DR.. Lincoln, some friends of the secre-
tary are exceedingly anxious and consider
his condition quite serious.

Strike Settled.

KANSAS CITY, March 24.-It is authen-
tically reported that the switchmens strike
is settled, and the men will resume work
tomorrow morning.
\ LATER:-The terms of settlement are
kept secret. The men returned to work to-
night, by order Of Mr.. Monaghan, chief Of
ficer of their association, and are them
selves Ignorant Of the prices fixed upon.
They are known only to the officials and
the strikers committee. A supposed ad-
vance has been granted, or the committee
would not have compromised. The idea
was advanced that the officials hoped for
an early settlement of the Missouri Pacific
strike, and considered it best to keep Sc
cret this settlement, pending the adjust
ment of differences elsewhere. Freight
trains are rolling in and out Of the yards
tonight, and they will be crowded to their
fullest capacity for some days.

In Reply to Gould.

ST. LOUIS, March 25.-The executive
board of district assemblies No. 1O1, II and
93, Knights of Labor, have issued an adj
dress to the Knights of Labor and trades
unions throughout North America, intended
as a reply to the statements made by Jay
Gould last night in regard to the strike OF
railroad employees of the Southwest. After
quoting from the statement of Gould the
sentence saying that employees upon his
roads have presented no grievances to their
management, the address says: 1--WE have
Wearied the press and worn the the types
OF the world in stating our grievances and
and demanding an opportunity to present
them to Gould and his lieutenants. We
have offered, through the highest
channel that represents us in the nation, to
meet him on any field; we have sought, we
have pleaded, we have demanded that we
be heard, but to all this Gould has turned q
deaf ear, and now, before the world, we
challenge him TO hear our complaints. Be
| fore the world we impeach his veracity
when he says we have not presented them
Before the world let the trial go on" Re
ferring to the decision of Gould to sue the
organization of Knights of Labor, the ad.
dress says: Counsel we'll know that such
silly emanations are an insult to the intel.
ligence of our school boys and challenge
to the courage of our grandmothers."
| The address closes with an appeal to the
strikers to stand firm until their organiza
ton is recognized and their demands
| granted.

Christian Temperance Union so earnestly protests
would have rcvoltcd people much less civilized
than those concerned. The exposure OF women

experience among desperate criminals and keep

not to need elaborate argument to produce con-
yiction Of its iniquity The rational presumption
il that the influence established by the convict

sense of humanity and deccncy; and If that is
the case the political outlook is bad one. If.

POOLING WITH THE QUEENS NAVEE.


The Navy Departments dealings with foreign
designers have involved its representative in
London in an unpleasant controversy. The
official circular published abroad inviting
"naval constructors steam engineers and
ordnance officers of the navy" to furnish
designs for vessels of war and referring
competitors to the American Legations in
| London and Paris for information, excited
the righteous Indignation of Her Majesty's
loyal subject, John Ward, Dumbarton
shipbuder. In The course of public
address delivered at CT eehock he referred to the
circular as an impndent attempt to bride the
officials of the British Navy and expressed
establishment that foreign Government should
deliberately attempt to market upon the intel
gence and morals of the Queens naval Scr
wants. The speech called out an acrid letter
from Commander Chadwick, Naval Attache of
the United States Legation in London. Without
deigning to explain the real purpose of the
Washington officials, he accused Mr. Ward of
lending himself TO the LITIGATION OF the British
naval service and of recklessly soing his
hands with unnecessary mud-throwing. This
response naturally failed to satisfy the Dunn
barton shipbuder and lively correspondence
ensued.
Mr. Ward asked Commander Chadwick to do
him the simple justice of discriminating between
vlifcation of British officials. of which he had
not been guilty and honest censure of the
action of the United States Navy Department,
with which he ought to have been credited. He
refused to modify that censure unless the Com
mander could assure him that designs had not
been solicited from naval constructors, steam
and of e fhav
the English advertisements read. lie cOntended
that such designs could not be furnished by
those officials without their betraying the trust
reposed in them by the Admiralty. lie charged
the American Navy Department with seeking to
undermine the integrity of public servants in
whom the country ought to have confidence.
AS British subject he had considered it his
duty to warn the designers and engineers in
the service of the Admiralty against the alur-
ing temptations of foreign Governments in
search of ideas. So vigorous letter forced the
Naval A,tache to forego his quixotic defence
of British officials and to explain that Secretary
Whitney had not invited designs from any
naval officers except those connected with his
own department. Commander Chadwick con-
cluded his reply with additional structures upon
irresponsible newspaper talk, which no could
only regard las sort of the insanity now 60

anything akctchea in It less innocent than q
cow
We regret to add that this essay on defama-
ton, even with the adventitious aid of the
sketch book and cow, failed to convince Mr..
Ward that a straightforward explanation had
been given. He could not understand why an
advertisement addressed exclusively to officers
of the United States Navy should be published
In England and France without a distinct indi-
cation that English and French officers were
not included In the invitation. He could not
perceive the reevan of the reference to the
Embassies In London and Paris on Commander
Chadwck's theory; and he was bewildered
and dumfounded by the publicly advertised
prize of 5000 and a further bid for working
drawings. He was unwilling to believe that
United States naval constructors, engineers
and ordnance officers required the Offering of
a specia: premium to induce them to put forth
their best efforts; and he could not discern
the expediency of appealing to their avarice in
advertisements scattered broadcast in England
This correspondence discloses the danger Of
miscopstruction to which Secretary Whitney
exposed the country when he went to foreign
market for designs and ideas. 1t also involves
the necessity of an explanation of the depart
ment's relations 10 Mr.. White, who has been
currently reported as receiving his share of
large sums paid for copies of some of his de-
signs purchased for the new navy. We judge
from articles in THE admiralty and Borse
Guards Gazette that Mr.. White has been stimuli
taneously in the employ OF the Armstrong;
and of the Admiralty as Director of Naval
Construction If this be true, the department
Is open to Mr.. Wards accusation of trafficking
with the integrity of Her Majesty's officials.
But we dare say Secretary Whitney has .ade-
ouate information on these matters.

EIRES IN THEAIRES

| Ten years have passed since the burning Of
| the Brooklyn Theatre. That horrible calamity,
| by which 271 lives were sacrificed, occurred on
| the night of December s, 1876. II is not likely
| that of the hundreds of thousands who were
| thrilled and Mortified by the awful news more
| than very few noted the melancholy ami
| yersary a week ago last Sunday. 1t is worth
while to recall it for moment and reflect upon
its lessons.
The INN ediate effect of the Brooklyn catas-
trophe was to cause a general overhauling of
theatres and places of amusement, and many
improvements were instituted. Better and
more numerous exits and wider stairways were
provided in many cases; doors that swung
in ward were made to swing outward means
for instantly flooding the stage were arranged !;
iron curtains between stage and auditorium
were put in place; fre-escapes were built, and
generally greater care and watchfulness were
observed. IL cannot be questioned that our
theatres as a rule are much safer than they
were before the slaughter in Brooklyn revealed
what might occur in case of fire Joined with
panic. Since then the fire has come more than
once but the panic has fortunately been want
ing. By good luck the theatres which have
been burned in New York within ten years
have not met their fate while play was in
progress. In some cases the escape was q
narrow one. 1t is easy to recall the burning of
the Park, Standard, Windsor aud Harrigan
and Hart's theatres, but it is hard to believe
that if they had been crowded with people all
would have escaped in safety.
Plainly, it is incumbent upon theatre managers
to make their houses absolutely safe. They
have no right to neglect any means that will
tend to accomplish this. Especially the use CT
electricity for lighting purposes should not be
neglected; and its success in some theatres has
demonstrated its entire practicability. Another
advantage from its use is the absence of heat
and of consumption of oxygen. Folding chairs
and all appliances which facilitate the emptying
of a playhouse may justly be demanded,
together with the amplest exits. Then it is of
great Importance that the employees should be
thoroughly and systematically drilled as to
their duties in case of fire. Theatres must
necessarily contain much OF an inhamnable
nature and a fire once started must spread with
wonderful rapidity. While repetition of such
tragedy as carried mourning into many
Brooklyn homes ten years ago this month is
practically impossible to-day, there is more
than one theatre in this city from which, II
fire should break out on the stage, the entire
audience could with difficulty escape alive.
Eternal vigilance is the only price Of safety.
