hasse, Florida, teegraphed that Parsons
and a companion had gone through Talla-
hasse and was bound either for Cedar Keys
or Tampa, and supposed to be heading for
Cuba, as steamers leave both ports men
toned for Havana. A return telegram
was sent for description OF Parsons, and

precisely with that of Parsons. The an

A NEW ONE.
A Substitute for the Labor Arbitra.
ton Bill Presented I'm the Senate.

Senator Logan presented in the senate as
a substitute for the labor arbitration bill,
recently passed in the house, bill provid-
ing for the appointment of a commission OF
arbitration of five members to be- ap-
pointed by the president.
The commission is empowered to visit
any place where controversies may arise
and may take testimony and hear counsel
and make its decision at any place it may
think best. 1t shall report to congress the
results of all investigations, with ALL testi-
mony and every action in reference to each
controversy which comes beforeit. 1t may
require the United States marshals to serve
process, and such marshals shall receive
the same fees as they receive for like service
upon process issued by the United States
commissioner. Witnesses shall also receive
the same fees as when attending before
United States commissions, but the ex-
penses OF any single arbitration shall not
exceed 81, 1000. The commission shall pos
sess all such powers to administer oaths,
as belong to United States commissioner.
1t may, upon any serious difference or dis
pute on account Of wages, oppression or
wrongs complained of by employees or en-
ployers, repair to the place where such COM
plants arise, and make full examination
and investigation OF the same and report
to congress through the president. The
United States commissioners, in addition
to the customary oaths of Office, shall
upon any case being submitted to them
take oath to fairly and faithfully perform
their duties, which oath shall embrace the
declaration that they are not personally
interested in the subject matter OF the con-
troversy.
The bill amends the act creating bureau
of labor, SO that the bureau shall hereafter
be known as the department of labor; and
the commissioner, in addition to duties
now required of him by law is required to
communicate with various railroads and
transportation companies, and with all
other companies engaged in various indus
tries where any great number OF persons
are employed, and as to a certain number
of employees, the manner in which their la
Dor is performed and it's character, their
situations, manner of living, facilities for
education of their children, and the rela-
tions of labor and capital generally. Also
to make comparative lists and statements
as to the hours of labor in various employ
ments; character of labor and compensa-
tiOn therefor in various European coun-
tries and report the result in tabulated
and comparative statements to the secre-
tary of the interior, who shall report it to
congress at each session, the total expenses
of the performance of such duties shall not
exceed $4,000 a year. Commissioners OF
arbitration shall hold offices for three
years until removed by the president for
good and sufficient cause, which cause shall
be reported to the senate with nomination
OF the successor OF any OF them.

Cow Andrew Curtin, in an interview,
said: TIswas disappointed in Martin Irons.
He made a miserable appearance on the
witness stand; bore himself badly, was the
reverse of frank, and crossed himself an
innumerable number OF times. He is eyis
dently fellow OF no particular brains, and
it is mystery how he holds his position
with the order. The contrast between him
and such a man as. Powderly is marked in
the extreme. Powderly is a gentleman OF
brains and culture, and a reasoner and
thinker in every sense of the word. He is
not to be mentioned in connection with
such a man as Martin Irons.

General Badean,s Pay.

The refusal of the second auditor of the
treasury to audit the pay account OF Gen
eral Adam Badeau, of the retired list Of
the army, has brought about good deal
of comment on the custom now in vogue of
finding protests for disallowing claims
against the government. 1t is alleged that
the principal aim of many OF the account
ing officers is to find pretexts for disallow-
ing claims.
General Badeau was appointed by Presi-
dent Grant to be consul general in England
Badeau was then on the retired list of the
army. As a man cannot draw two salaries
from the government, he did not ask for his
salary as a retired army officer while in
the consular service. Recently, however,
he was superseded in that position and
came home. According to custom he re-
signed his position on the retired list the
day he retired from the consular Office. A
few days ago he called for his salary as n
retired officer and was informed that when
he accepted an appointment he lest his
place on the retired list, and that his
account would not be allowed or audited,
SO General Badeau has brought suit for
his salary. He holds that man cannot
be taken from the retired list of the army
or navy, except by order of the president,
or law specific. 1t is believed his point
will hold good.

GRovER,s INTENDED.
The Wealth of the Lady Who Ia Soon
to be Made the Presidents Wife.

Buffalo dispatch: In the absence OF fresh
news from Miss Folsom's party in Europe
the wealth of the Folsom's continues to be
a topic Of conversation.
The Folsoms havefor many years ranked
among the wealthy and influential people
of western New York. The father OF Miss
Frances Folsom, the late Oscar Folsom,
was not prudent man in financial mat
ters, and died poor, but he was an excep-
tion in a large family.
Benjamin Folsom, the Buffalo attorney,
who is now in Europe with Miss Folsom,
has already inherited a quarter of mil
lion of dollars, and will doubtless receive a
large addition to his fortune from the es-
tate of his father and other relatives. The
senior Benjamin Folsom was for a quarter
of a century or more a resident OF Attica,
n. ", where he made large fortune as a
railroad contractor. Western inves tments
made him a millionaire or nearly so, and
benjamin Folsom, Jr., received at least
one half of the estate. He is a bachelor of
quiet though refined tastes. and the pres
ent European trip is being made largely at
his expense.
The father of the lamented Oscar Folsom
is still alive. His wealth is about hall
million, and Miss Frances Folsom is one oi
his heirs. This popular young lady viii be
rich in her own right in flew years. intact
she and her widowed mother already enjoy
a portion OF the wealth which Colonel j ohm
B. Folsom has willed to her.
Mr.. Cleveland recently described himself
as a poor man, and in comparison with the
average member of the Folsom family he is
poor. Miss Frances Folsom, his intended
bride, is already the virtual possessor of q
larger estate than Mr.. Cleveland has ever
been able to accumulate.
The presidents wedding. according to the
latest reports, wiz occur here on Jure g
The latest advices from Europe are to the
effect that Mrs. Folsom was suffering a re
lapse OF the roman fever. but that il she is
able to travel there viii be no delay in the
late of the wedding On the other hand. il
the wedding should be postponed on &C

After the Anarchists.

Judge Mallory, OF Milwaukee, in his charge
to the grand jury drawn to consider the
cases against the participants in the recent
labor riots, delivered quite long address
fon the subject OF strikes, boycotts and
riots. He authorized the jury to investi-
gate the nature of labor organizations and
said any oath which binds the officers or
members to resort to violence or other un-
lawful means for the accomplishment OF the
purposes of the organization rendered such
organization unlawful and liable to indict-
ment. The Judge referred to the vicious
character of many immigrants, whose per-
nicious doctrines poisoned the minds of a
large number of once contented and pros
porous laboring people to an alarming ex-
tent. Our people, he said, "have toler.
ated the ckless and criminal conduct OF
the anarchist demagogues too long"

HE KILLED HIM.
But Claims 1t Was Done Accidentally
by an overdose of ChIOrOfOrm.

/ st. Louis special: An evening paper pub
fishes the following as confession from
Hugh M. Brooks, alias Maxwell, whose trial
Tor the murder of Arthur Preller, at the
Southern hotel in this city, April 5, 1885,
is under way.
The confession foreshadows aline Of de.
Tense upon the murder by imprudence'
theory which was predicted some months
ago. The following is Brooks, alias Max
Wells statement.
"Mr. Preller was suffering from private
disease for which had previously pre-
scribed, mixing The medicines myself from
the bottles in the medicine case which 1 car
ried with me- but his aiment had reached
stage when it was necessary for me to
make certain Investigations. was obliged
TO use catheter, and in using a catheter I
mad previously applied chloroform in order
to produce condition of narcotism.
Il used chlorofqrm in this manner on a
man named Harrison III Liverpool without
any serious result. explained the pro-
cess to Mr.. Preller and told him what
should have to do. He was not only will
ing, but was very anxious for me to treat
him IN this manner. During the day pur-
chased fonr ounces Of chloroform, which
was standing in bottle on the edge of my
wash stand when Twas washing some sur
gical instruments. This,washing of the in
struInents took place Sunday afternoon
and was intended as Appropriation for the
operation. In washing the Instruments I
overturned the bottle Of chloroform and it
went headlong into the basin, the cork
coming out, and all but about one ounce
and quarter or an ounce and q half going
down into the sink.
"This was probably 3 O'Clock, and after
getting my instrument ready went out to
secure some more chloroform. / went to
the drug store-I don't know where-but
the store near the hotel (Fernow's), and
asked for the chloroform. The clerks, or
some persons there have said that was
excited and in hurry-this was not so. 1
sat down in chair in the drug store for
more than a quarter Of an hour, and was
altogether very leisurely about my busi-
ness, for there was no hurry. II / am not
mistaken had long conversation with
some one in the drug store. When l got
the chloroform | repaired to my room.
"Preller had been in and out of my room
and his own all afternoon. About 5 p. m.
we began the operation. l administered
the chlroform in the usual way holding a
saturated cloth to the nose. Preller passed
through the first stage all right. 1t took
several moments. | don't know exactly
how long Then he entered the second
stage and here the horrible result came. l
discovered too late that he was dying.
Imagine my horror when this fact dawned
upon me. was wild with fright, but had
presence of mind enough to cut the shirt
and undershirt from the body and getting
O. wet towel / beat him around the neck
and shoulders for half an hour or more.

THEY ARE NOT ANARCHISTS.
Announcement of Code Of Principles
by the Poles.

In view OF the anarchist outbreaks and
the credit they were getting in the affairs,
the Poles OF New York met May II, repre-
sented by the authorities of the Central
Polish committee and other associations
passed the following resolutions, which
have been sent everywhere throughout the
country for publication:
Whereas, A few of their countrymen have
participated in the unfortunate events OF
May in Chicago and Milwaukee, especially
in the latter city, and have participated in
the public disturbances and riots.
Whereas, Both the violations OF the
United States and Poland every man has
the right to seek his individual happiness
and to- act in perfect freedom a. long as his
acts do not imperil the person, property or
freedom of his fellowmen.
Whereas, Every man living in the United
States is bound to obey the laws and to
fulfill a citizens duties in the only country
in the world that warrants to all its peo-
pie, alien born or native to the soil, perfect
personal freedom, and that possesses a
complete system of self-government.
Whereas The United States OF America
tenders unlimited hospitality toforeigners,
Offering to every ope'who seeks honest la
Dor, q much better future than is possible
for him to obtain'in Europe, notexpecting
of him that hard military service which
consumes the best years Of his life, giving
him the means and the liberty OF exercising
the duties of his religion and educating his
children according to the, dietation of his
own conscience, and opening to everyone,
rich or poor, high or low born, the road to
the highest dignities of the land.
Whereas 1t is not just that hall mil
lion or more peaceable and law-abiding
Polish citizens in America suffer for the ex-
cesses committed by a revolt OF the most
ignorant and headstrong of their compa-
triots They should under all circumstances
remember that true sons of Poland have
othing in common with the red flag, the
symbol of bloods arson and murder, and
that all those who partake OF the hospital
ity and protection OF the United States
must firmly uphold its banner, the only
one that waves in honor and defense OF
perfect freedom.
In the name of the central committee OF
the National Polish Benevolent Alliance OF
the United States.

a Reorganization of Western Pools
Necessary 60 Secure Harmony.

Chicago special: 1t is firmly believed by
certain prominent railroad men that there
IS no probability that the western freight
ASSOCIATION will ever be recognized again,
and there isa prospect hat the tripartite
combination (the Western Trunk associa-
tom, which entails heavy expense upon
the Rock Island, Milwaukee and st. Paul,
and Union Pacific, without any benefit
belng derived therefrom, will soon be aban-
uoned. The indications are that new COM
oinatlons will be formed this summer which
VIII include the traffic of the above named
ASSOCIATION, as well as that heretofore
pooled IN the Northwestern traffic associa-
uon. The fact has been established that
neither OF these pools can be managed sue
ceSsiuli y separately, but the opinion is ex-
pressed that combined they may prove of
considerable benefit and insure mainte-
nance Of uniform rates. The terminus of
y, cale new combination is to be extended to
Nheyenne on the Union Pacific and Bis
narck and Fargo on the Northern and the
SHanltoba ! roads. At the same time the
southwestern Railway association is to be
e1tended to include the Kansas business Of
NE y Atchison, Topeka e. Santa Fe, Missouri
"cillc, and other Kansas roads. III the
santa re does not secure favorable recog-
hi1lon by the Southwestern Railway asso-
ciatlon, it may carry out its threat to be-
sih and finish an independent line to Chi

Pleased with the Results.

Washington special: The committee
which has been west examining into the
labor troubles in that section is pretty
well pleased with the results OF its in
quiries on labor. It's members take good
deal of credit to themselves for having
brought the strike to an end through their
pacific recommendations. They believe
that troubles generally in this line are
now practically at an end. A large pro-
portion Of the striking workmen in all
parts OF the country have returned to
work, the majority Of them, Of course,
having lost time and money without
accomplishing anything, and only a small
proportion having gained something in re-
duced hours of labor. The anxiety in con
gress for the adoption OF some general sys-
TEN of arbitration by which labor troubles
generally, may be pacifcally adjusted
seems to have largely disappeared. Con-
gress is an impulsive body, and now that
the immediate need for measure OF this
kind has been removed, it will probably
forget all about the labor troubles and set
to work discussing tariff or some other
abstract measure of this character,

Some Political Speculation.

New York special: There is still some
political gossip floating about, and it in
wolves all the leading candidates in the
last republican convention except Blaine,
who is mentioned incidentally rather than
as an active candidate. 1t has been given
out by persons supposed to be Mr. Blaine's
friends that his desire is not for a renomi-
nation, but rather for high cabinet posi-
tion, such as he occupied under Garfield.
This is looked on as leaving somewhat
more open field for Sherman than he has
yet enjoyed, and his friends, while re-
luctant to talk about him as a candidate,
evidently believe the party can accomplish
more with him than with almost any one
else. Just what New York is to do in the
contest is as yet unknown, but everybody
believes that the fight has got to be made
here, and the understanding is that in
asmuch as rough sort of a man
like Garfield won the hearts OF the people
enough to carry the state in 1880, perhaps
Sherman could do it in 1888.

Washington special: Congress has agreed
