Distress at BelIevilie, Ont,

BELLEvILLE, Ont, Jan. 6-The disastrous
Aood here has not abated An immense volume
Of water continues pouring in from the neighbor-
ing rivers, ard has damaged property in the city
until the loss is now estimated at a million dol
lars. What was on Monday one of the most en-
terprising and prosperous cities in the Dominion
is. To large extent, laid waste by food Many
beautiful buildings are damaged beyond
repair. There were many instances
of intense suffering throughout the long and
tedious hours last night. The thermometer in
dicated 49, degrees below zero. In the city the
wood-yards were flooded, and could not be en-
tered. This caused great suffering as the poor
people of the city consume soft wood altogether,
and rely upon these wood yards for their supply.
Factories have had to close and werkmen were
discharged, and these are now dependent upon
public charity. Large and valuable buildings on
the principal streets have been undermined, and
the occupants have had to move out for fear the
buildings would collapse. The only hope of re-
lief is milder weather.

MOUNT PHEASANT, Pa, Feb 6.-The strike
betrays no signs of settlement In spite of the
constant banking of furnaces and the fears of a
coke famine, the operators are more obdurate
than ever in their expressed purpose not to yield
to the demands Of the strikers. The miners on
their part, are undismayed by the partial re-
sumptOns in the northern section and their
threatened eviction in the severe weather, and
are as confident as ever of success. There has
been gradual weakening of the strike. how

The Strike of New York Cigar-Makers.

NEW York, Feb. elf the Progressive cigar
makers agree to the terms proposed by the man
ufacturers, and accept schedule of wages based
on the average price paid by all the shops last
year about 600 people will berelieved from suf
ferirg which is beginning to be severely felt In
many Of the trades more or less directly con-
nected with the cigar-making industry the strike
has produced stagnation and q consequent dis
charge of work peeple, who, not being members
of the cigar. makers unions. are not entitled to
relief from their bodies. The Central Labor
Unien has too many demands on its treasury at
present to put these people its rolls. and much
suffering results. 1t is doubtful if the Interna-
tionai Union, which bitterly denounces the con-
ferenees between the Progressive members and
the manufacturers will be able to hold out long
after their rivals return to work, for they do not
want members of the Progressive Union to get
employment in shops which the International
Union has heretofore controlled. About five
hundred cigar makers, including women, have
left for San Francisco since the strike began,
and are expected to contribute something to the
support of their suffering comrades in this city
when they get there. 1t will be some time. how
ever, before the heavy expense of the trip can
be paid out of earrings on the Pacific coast. and

Mr.. Sparks Famous Order.

Land Commissioner Sparks doubtless
feels as if he had been sat upon by the
President and the Secretary of the Int
rlor on account Of the resembling of
his famous order Wednesday, suspend
ing final settlement in all presumption
and homestead claims in what he termed
the infected district. By the Infected
district he meant that part of the West
where land-frauds have been most nu-
merous.
Commissioner Sparks issued his order
ofsuspension within very few weeks
after he accepted office. He didn't con-
suit the Secretary of the Inferior about
it. He thought he didn't need any ad
vice or direction IN the matter. In fact,
the Commissioner is hardly the sort Of a
man to admit that any body can tell him
anything.
The order created a very lively cOmmO-
ton. 1t hurt the innocent and the guilty
alike, and 1t is probable that it damaged
more of the innocent than OF the guilty
Delegations from the West besieged the
Commissioner, and appealed from him to
the Secretary, and even to the President
The Secretary never thought the order a
wise one, and only waited for favorable
chance to have it rescinded. He admit
ted, OF course, that there were manv
fraudulent entries, and that the land job
bers and spectators had been doing
brisk business in getting hold of public
lands to which they had no right, but he
thought that action on the claims of in
! nocent persons should not be suspended
| and the claimants made to suffer loss
in order that the government might take
its time to defeat the schemes of the land
0bbers. 1t is the business of the govern
ment to have enough employees to attend
to the public business. Claims that are
ready to be examined ought TO be passed
on at once, and il any are to Re suspended
let those be to which some suspicion at
taches. This is the Secretary's view of
the matter and it finally prevailed
| Commissioner Sparks was, doubtless, per-
ectly honest in the course he pursued.
His trouble was want of judgment.

Millionaire Weston,s Case.

About three months ago Milton Weston,
"a millionaire contractor and gas producer
was incarcerated in the western peni-
tertiary of Pennsylvania, having been
convicted of manslaughter. 1t will be
remembered that in 1888 Weston leased a
large gas well at Murraysville. Another
party claimed the property, and in a con-
ilct over the possession, a man was killed
with bayOnet by one of WestOns men,
who was convicted Of murder in the sec
ond degree and sentenced to the peniten-
larry for ten years. Soon afterwards Yves
ton was convicted of melting the murder
and sentenced for five years. Extraor-
binary efforts were made to secure the ac-
! quitJal of the prisoners, and it is claimed
| that they would nave been acquitted had
they been permitted to make statements
before the jury. The cases were nota-
bic ones, and were commented on at the
| time by the press ia all sections of the
Union, and the opinion was generally ex-
pressed that the parties would be par
| doned.
Since the conviction Weston's friends
have been getting their case in shape TO
! present to the Pennsylvania Board of Par-
dons, and Wednesday they unrolled at
| Harrisburg what is perhaps the strongest
petition for a pardon that has ever been
presented in this country. Among those
who signed the appeals are Gov. Oglesby
OF Illinois. ex-senator Mcdonald OF In
diana, ex-GOv. Stone Of Iowa, Senators
Logan and CullOm Of Illinois, and all the
Congressman from that state, all the state
officials Of Illinois aud the city officials OF
Chicago, and many Judges and politicians
and prominent citizens from different
States, together with every member OF the
jury that convicted Weston.
1t is probable that in considering the
case the board will look more to the rea-
sons presented in the petition than 10 tue
pos ton Of the convict. who is probably
the first millionaire ever sent to the peni-
ten larry in this country, and the rank aud
influence Of the petitioners. The strong
est point made is that alluded to--that
both the accused would nave been acquit-
ted had their own evidence been admissi-
BILE under existing laws, and that the
laws have been since so amended that
such evidence is now legal.
The decision Of the board win be await
ed with great interest.
