Bits From Britain.

LONDON, March 3.-Lord Randolph
Churchill spoke at Manchester to-day.
He said that MIR. Gladstone deluded the
county with false issues. There was an
imperative necessity for the establish
ment of British Unionist party which
would unite what was best in all parties
and creeds.
The Marquis of Salisbury. speaking
at the Conservative banquet at the
Crystal Palace tonight, denied the
assertion of Sir Henry James that he
ever encouraged the "home rule delu-
sion" in the slightest manner. He
warned the country that The hasty
adoption of the land purchase
measures for Ireland would drive
away the wealthy and leave the ig-
norant under the rule of not over
wise hierarchy, while all the money
now invested would virtually be lost.
Lord Salisbury bitterly condemned the
Liberals for defeating the Conservatives
on a side issue, thus avoiding the neces-
sity to formulate an Irish policy.

The City of Mexico

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The Secre-
tary of the Navy has received long re-
port from Commander C. NJ. Chester, OF
the G1Iena, dated Key West, February
22d, regarding the capture of the al
legged filIibustering steamer, the City Of
Merico. The GalenG arrived at
Saint Andrews, at Columbia, Febru-
airy 14th, with 3. X. Wright,
Jr., United States Consul at
Colon, on board the steamer. The City
of MericO was found in port with only
her passengers. thirty in number, the
captain and one of her crew on board
the remainder of the crew had pro-
tested againSr proceeding to sea
were composed of an organized
band under the direction OF one
of their number, Emils Del Gardo, as
chief, and that they were in waiting to
receive arms and ammunition from the
American steamer Neptune, preparatory
to landing on the Island of Yucatan
that the vessel, instead of sailing a
peaceable voyage, for which they they
had enlisted, was under the control of
said Del Gardo, and that the
captain was implicated in the
Irregularities; that their contract having
been broken, they demanded their dis
charge or a satisfactory guarantee for
their lives, which they claimed had
been threatened by the passengers, to
some extent armed; that the pas
sengers should be removed from the
ship. Under these demands the
consular agent had removed the
crew to the town of Saint Andrews
while the Columbian authorities had,
owing to the reports that the passen-
gers had been refused landing at the
points of Balize. Honduras. Bluefelds
and Corn Island in Columbia, declined
to permit their coming on shore. The
consular agent had examined the crew
and the captain under oath. Having
read the testimony and taken part in
the proceedings with Consul Wright,
Commander Chester was convinced the
grave charges preferred by the consul
were well-fOunded and determined to
seize the vessel. Before doing so he was
assured by the project of the port and
Judge of the district that such action
was in accordance with the Inter
national law and treaty stipulations.
On board the steamer were two steam
launches and three Honduras flags.
The captain had authority to draw on
the agents of the vessel for the money,
but it is evident that Del Gardo paid

The Nickerson Failure.

Boston, March 3.-Nothing definite
can be stated about the assets of Nicker-
son q Co. They include extensive West
Indian and other foreign interests and
other investments, which it will take a
long time TO develop. The indebtedness
of the firm is chiefly to the national
banks on time notes and on collateral.
The causes of the failure are manifold.
The first blow affecting the credit of
the firm was the wreck of the City OF
Columbus of the Savannah line two
years ago. They have dealt largely in
hemp, sugar and other staples on COM
mission, and also in direct trade. 1t is
impossible to make any statement
about the probable relation OF
the assets to the liabilities.
The members of the firm hope, with
careful nursing, that the assets VIII
yield a very good dividend to the
creditors. The creditors claimed IN the
assignme 1t are: Adeline,T. Nickerson,
AdeIine n. Parker, Priscilla S. NickeI-
son, Roberman, Powell & Co., G. a.
Campbell and G. E. Pennack 81 Co.

IN THE ROBBER STATE.
The Sad Predicament of Some
Passengers.
TRAIN DITCHED AND ROBBED
Senate BiIls-H GLANDS Trial
Thu Street Railway Strike.
A Train Ditched and Robbed.

SAN Francisco, March Bel Paso,
Tex.-A freight train on the Mexican
Central Railroad, Conductor Mart
North, was ditched and robbed at
Kilometre. north of San Francisco
station, last night, by band of sixty
Mexican outlaws. The train consisted
of seven cars, which were all ditched.
T he outlaws first robbed, and then
stripped completely NAKED all the
train hands. then tied their hands
behind their backs, in which condition
they had walked into San Francisco
station. Nobody, however, was hurt.
The cars were broken open and large
amount of freight was taken by them.
Troops are securing the country in
search of the band of outlaws.
From the similarity of operations,
il is supposed this outrage
was committed by the same band
which some time ago robbed the
stage in the State of Zacatecas. The
stage contained, besides the driver,
three men and one young lady, all be-
longing to the best families OF Chi
huahua. The outlaws robbed them of
their vsluables and every particle of
clothing and in that condition al
lowed them to proceed in the stage.
Just before leaving their victims
the robbers, out of consideration for
the young lady, gave the people in the
stage a sheet. which they used in COM
mon as lap robe, and thus made their
way to the nearest station. Yesterday IS
outrage occurred in the State of Jalesco
often cal ed The RObber State" from
the frequency with which the lawless
exploits occur in it. San Francisco
station lies between the big cities of
Leon and Hagos, in a populous neigh
borhood.
Later dispatches to the Ell Paso
Times, tend to placing different face
upon the affair. 1t is now said the
freight train referred to was simply
ditched by the displacement of two
rails, but not robbed.

The Street Railway Strike.

New YORK, March 3.-The strike of
employees of the Dry Dock Street Rail
way lines continues and travellers by the
Grand Street ferries are put to much
inconvenience thereby. The hearing
before the state railroad commissioner
was continued this morning at the
company's office. Vice president
Richardson made a reply to the
demands of the men, taking up
each one separately. The company is
willing 10 allow twelve hours to consti-
titute davis work, including one hour
for meals. All the employees who work
more than twelve hours are to receive
extra pay. Richardson asserted that no
outside organization should have right
to dictate to the Company whom
it should or should not employ. There
was long debate in regard To the dis
charg. of certain men, who
had remained faithful TO the
company during the present diff
ficulty. The superintendent replied
go to pieces rather than discharge these
men. Inc conference ended without
any agreement being reached. An at
during the afternoon, but the
rikers put such tbstacles in the
way that the tiial was ,Andoned. Dur
ing the attempted progress OF the test
car, huge load of barrels crossed the
track in front of it. The strikers cut
the ropes that bound the barrels
on the truck ar they rolled to
the street and caused tie delay. a
coal wagon containing two tons
of coal was dumped and its contents
spread before the car. A car OF tue
Grand Houston and Forty-second street
line was stopped by the strikers, and
the harness was cut and the car placed
square across the track. Each car that
arrived was thus derailed until six
teen cars were standing across
the track. The passengers We e
turned and travel stopped. Fifty or
xty cars finally were blocked and a
thousand persons were a part of the
scene Finally 120 policemen arrived
and sought to protect the trial trip
car. The driver held his reins
steadily and maintained his COM
posture amidst the jeers and in
timidation of the mob. The con-
ductor was surrounded and dragged
off the car. He disappeared and
sought refuge in the company's offices.
Finally word came from the company
to take the car back to the stable.
The strikers construed this as
step towards victory, and
there were tumultuous shouts and
the course of travel was permitted
again to be resumed. Another at
tempt will be made tomorrow.
Superintendent White said: awe
intend to carry this thing through.
We met the men half way, but
they want too much from us.
The trouble is not ended.
1 am told all lines in Brooklyn anC
New York will tie up tomorrow. The
strikers assert the end is near and
that it will bring victory to them"

Hollands Trial.

New YORK. March 3.-The trial of
James T. Holland, who shot and killed
Tom Davis, was resumed to-day. The
court room was crowded, and among
the spectators were many Texans.
Counsel for Holland read twenty-one
dispositions of the friends and neighbors
of the defendant in Texas. including
one from Governor Ireland, giving
Holland good character. The pris-
oner then took the stand in his own
behalf. He described the meeting and
negotiations leading up to the purchase
of the alleged counterfeit money. He
stated that after $4,000 in good money
had been counted out and put into the
bag and $500 paid for it, and before
Davis confederate in thenext room had
had time to substitute another bag he
(Holland) rose and said "Well, let's
60" Davis said, mo, don't be in a
hurry; wait till the old man comes"
said, IN go now" Davis said, You
must not go out now, the house is full
of detectives" 1 replied, "I'l take my
chances" Davis said, You must not
60" l said, 81 will CO." and
then Davis said, "God damn you,
drop that bag or I'll kill you" 1 said
81 want that bag, Mr.. Woodward" l
held on to the bag and he rushed at
me and got hold of me and just then a
voice from another room said, kill
the s-n of b-h." 1 Strengthened up
then, pulled my pistol and shot Davis,
and hearing a noise behind me,
turned and fired another shot through
the partition. 1 then put my pistol
away, opened the door and walked out. :"
Holland swore he received one of
DAVIS circulars before he left Texas /;
that it was not his intention to buy
counterfeit money; that he believed
good money would be shown him; that
he was willing to trust his judgment on
that, and, having paid $500 in good
money for $4,000 in good money, he
was prepared to take his chances of
getting what he had paid for. He shot
Davis because he believed the latter
would kill him.

ANOTHER JACK MORMON.
A Minister Who Believes the Saints
Have Some Rights.

We cordially agree with Rev. William
J. Potter, OF the index, in what he says
in the following paragraph concerning
the new Mormon bill: Because the
government is bound by moral obliga-
ton, which the highest civilization i'm
poses, to prevent Mormon polygamy,
even though il claim the protection of "a
religious creed, it is also bound to be
specially careful to respect all those re
hglous rights and privileges which the
Mormon church has in common with
all other churches and sects in the
country. Mormonism. in its general
creed, is not unlike the popular forms
of evangelical Christian belief; and,
aside from polygamy-aEd it draws
warrant for that from the Old Tesla
ment-it is entitled to the same protec-
On through the laws which is accorded
To these sister faiths. The United States
may possibly find the practice of polyg-
amy, though not originally part of the
Mormon creed, has become such pro-
nounced and central object of the exist
ence of the Mormon Church that Con-
gresS would be justified in taking
away from that church the charter
it has received from the Terri
torial LIE, j azure. But nothing could
justify SO anomalous ami monStrous
step as that of the United States govern
ment taking possession of the property
and revenues of the church, and man
ating them for the church." We have
constantly maintained that polygamy
should be suppressed as al unjust con-
ces ion to Mormonism. But ii should
be done without trenching in any de-
gree upon the rights of Mormons to
hold and administer their peculiar re-
ligious beliefs. In other words, they
should have as much protection as any
other religious body, and no more

Company, made a statement to the
House committee on Pacific Railways
in regard to the Indebtedness of that

these stocks, the company held num-

The Rate War.

New YORK, March 3.-Heavy Cali
fornia shippers complain about the war,
because they say they have stocked up
heavily at the old freight rates, and
now rates being so very low, small
merchants, instead of buying of the
Pacific Coast at wholesale, buy in New
York and undersell the heavy men who
have large stocks. There was much
speculation as to what effect on the
west bound passenger rates the news
that emigrant tickets we're being sold at
$3.50 from San Francisco to the Mis-
Iuri River and SIT to st. Louis and
Chicago would have. 1t was prophesied
that there would be a cut from the
Missouri to San Francisco to correspond
with this rate by the fighting roads.
Official information confirms the report
that Agent Cannon ordered the Pacific
Mail out of the tight.
CHICAGO. March 3.-An informal
meeting of the lines that composed
the Pacific Coast Association was held
here to-day. The present disturbed
condition of the trans-continental
freight was freely discussed, and it was
agreed that for the present, Chicago
lines should act in unison, and bill
freight at so per cent. of the old tariff.
For some time past they have been en-
gagged in scramble for freight, each
road taking what it could get, and at
whatever rates attainable.
The transcontinental freight rates
fell down to BIZ cents on all classes to-
day, where the former rate on first
class was S.. There is great excitement
at this remarkable cut. 1t is said that
4, hicago jobbers of groceries have or
dered immense lots to be shipped on
the SIN cent rate, and that market
prices for canned fruits will undergo a
decided reduction.
