ELEPHANTS ON A RAMPAGE.

Harnum's Pachyderms Create n
Panic i'm New York
Special to the Globe.
New YORK, April 25.-Banum's sea-
son in New York came very near winding
up with tragedy last night, While the
herd of twenty-five elephants were per-
forming in the ring, one of them, Columbia,
refused TO obey her keeper, when Callahan,
the keeper, prcked her sharply. She
threw her trunk up over her back and ut
tered sharp cry of rage and pain. IL
rang through the c.-cus and pierced the ears
of Hebe, the big fen...Ie elephant. Hebe is
COlumbia'S mother, and when she heard
her baby cry she gave squeal that made
the circus people jump, and made charge
for the ring in which her baby was being
abused. Hebe did not stop to go out TO the
ring i'll the usual way, but went right
across lots, pushing down ropes and stakes,
in bee line. The youthful and abused
Columbia heard her mothers answering
squeal, saw her coming, and dashed to meet
her. If the elephants of the Empire aSso-
citation had ordered general strike those
elephants could not have quit work in a
bigger hurry. Everyone broke ranks, and,
throwing up their trunks and tails, ran
squealing hither and thither and Callaghan,
the keeper, was dashed to the ground, and
women screamed and tainted, seeing him
crushed under the feet of the furious beasts
The common elephant keepers came swarm
ing from the stables with their sharp goads
in their hands, and

10 get the elephants back into their quar-
ters. But they would not go. Finally
Hebe, after slashing around with her trunk
for while, dashed around TO the exit,
which leads TO that section of the circus
containing the giants, fat women and
dwarfs. The entire herd followed, squeal-
ing. after her. There never was a more
scared crowd than that in the circus. When
the elephants disappeared from the ring the
crowd thought it was all right, but i'm two
seconds there was rearing right under the
seats, and people became more frightened
than ever and began to break for the door
and all the lungs and entTeaties of the at
tendants were helpless TO prevent panic.
The people on the lower seats made break
for the exits, but new difficulty presented
Itself. The elephants were rushing around
the animals. The circus horses and all the
actors came flying in TO escape them, and
animals which wanted to Join
the fun was stunning. The people
realized that they were safer on the high
seats, and they rushed back to them. Great
efforts were made by the circus people to
calm the fears of the audience. The ele-
phant tanners were working like beavers,
and after an interruption which seemed like
week long, but which really did not last
more than fifteen minutes, the band. which
had narrowly missed being walked over,
started up. and the show went on again,
and finished all right. No one in the
audience was hurt.

THE PACIFIC RAILWAYS.
A Report From the House Sub-COm-

mittee Expected at Once.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. April 25.-The sub-com-
mittee of the house committee on Pacific
railroads, which has been charged with the
consideration Of Pacific railroad funding
bill of Mr.. Hoar, which passed the senate,
has concluded its work and is ready to re-
port to the full committee. 1t is expected
that the full committee will adopt
the report of the subcommittee. The
subcommittee will not report the
Hoar bill. but a bill which differs in some
important particulars from the bill of Mr..
Hoar, the basis of which is the bill sub
mitted to the subcommittee by Representa-
tive Hayden of Massachusetts. The bill is
identical in principle with the Hoar bill,
but it reduces the funding period to seventy
years and provides for large annual pay
ment. In the case of the Union Pacific
company the semi-annual payment that will
be required by the Hayden bill for
a period of seventy years is S9O6, 900. or
81. S12, 600 annually. The Hoar bill pro-
vided for a seIni-annual payment from this
company of about 5000, 900. The object of
both Of the bills is to extend the time for the
payment Of the present indebtedness and to
provide for an annual payment to the gov
eminent of 3 per cent on the amount of
the deferred Indebtedness. The difference
in the amount is to be explained by differ
ent method Of computation. Experts i'm
both the treasury department and in the in
terror department have made numerous
calculaaans. The result arrived at by the
committee was secured by making an exact
calculation for every six months period of
the whole term. 1t is expected that the
report will be made to the house at once.
1t is not so clear that an attempt will be
made with success to have the bill consid-
cred in the house at this session. The cal
endars are already overcrowded, and the
season is far advanced. II the whole COM
mittee shall accept the report of the SUBJ
committee, it will be due to the conviction
that an amended Thurman act will be i'm

MOTHER HUBBARDs TABooED.
A New Jersey Mayor FOrbids tho

Special to the Globe.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 25.-The
town of Burlington, n. j., is all agog on
the question of Mother Hubbard costumes.
All the fuss was started by something that
happened in Burlington last Friday even
ing. Miss Ella Hammell, a well-knOwn
belle, appeared at Broad and High streets
in Mother Hubbard dress. She walked
down High street, when she heard a shout
and saw dozen men behind
her. She hastened on, but a mob
filed High street, uttering cries
and insulting epithets. Some missiles were
thrown and, almost beside herself with ter
ror Miss Hammell hurried into drug
store. Capt. Hayes, the chief of police.

her home. The crowd yelled awhile out
side the Hammell mansion. but were finally
dispersed by the police. 1t is understood

in the affair is expected tomorrow. Yester-
day morning Mayor Silpath forbade the
wearing of Mother HubbardS on the streets
of Burlington, except under certain re-
strictions. Young women will hereafter
be allowed to wear them as loosely as they
please while seated OH the steps of their
own residences or upon their own grounds.
They will be allowed to wear them under
the sanction Of the law upon the streets if
the dresses are belted, but not otherwise,
if the girls are alone. If they have
escorts they can wear Mother Hubbards as
much in the flowing boudoir fashion as they
choose in any part of the town. both in the
day and the evening. The regulations, it
is explained, are simply for the sake of
protecting the girls OF Burlington from the
wrath Of the populace. and are not intended
especially as rejecting upon the toilet it.

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS-.
No Business of Importance Except
the River and Harbor Bill.


WASHINGTON, April 25.-After the rou-
tine morning business in the senate to-
morrow Senator Van Wyck will ask that
the bill to tax railroad lands be again taken
up. Senator Blair has given notice that he
will at the same hour ask the senate to
listen to speech on the liquor question. 1t
may require vote of the senate to de-
eide between the two. AT 2 o'clock

merce billy will belaid before the senate
and will thereafter occupy the session after
the morning hour eac h day until disposed
of. The measures to be considered next in
order, according to the program of the cau-
Gus committee, are the general pension bill,
the DeS MoineS river land bill vetoed
by the preSident), the bankruptcy bill and
and the resolutions for open executive
sessions, but the senate, resting upon the
record of over 400 bills passed last week,
will take matters leisurely, and is not likely
to get beyond the interstate commerce bill
during the present week. The pOstoffice
appropriation bill will be reported to-mOr-
row and will temporarily dlsplace the reg
ular order some time during the week.
THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
Is the unfinished business of the house and
its friends express hope that it will be
passed early in the week. The feature
which always gives rise to the greatest con-
troversy-the Mississippi river appropria-
tion-has, however, not been reached, and
its consideration may command the atten-
ton Of the house for the greater part OF the
week. The CampbellW Weaver con-
tested election case will be called
up on Thursday, and Saturday has
been set apart for the consideration of bills
reported by the committee on territories,
but excluding, by tacit consent, the Dakota
bill. Congress has been in session nearly
five months, yet more than half the number
of general appropriation bills remain un-
acted upon by the house, in which body
they must originate. The consular and d.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The president
has been interviewed on his rumored en-
gagement to Miss Folsom. For private
reasons on the part of the interviewer much
of the data has not yet been given 10 inc
public. 1t seems that one of the female
correspondents, fired with the laudable zeal
of obtaining authentic information from ths
fountain head, arrayed herself IN the purple
and fine linen of her wardrobe and sought
sndiance with the chief magistrate. She
was courteously received, and the presi-
dent in bland tones inquired the nature
of her business. All unconscious OF the
storm which she would raise, the cor
respondent displayed her tablet and stated
that she had come for an interview upon
the subject of public interest-the proba-
bility of his bestowing upon Miss Folsom
ehe dignity of first lady OF the land. Inc
president remained ominouSly silent as one
question quickly followed another ON the
part of the would-be interviewer. There
came a pause, long pause, and then the
president spoke briefly, but very much 10
the point, and i'll the space OF few mo-
ments gave to the correspondent more sensl-
bic advice than she had probably received
before in the space of as many years.
He told her that, as a woman, she
should be above giving an undesired pub
Hcity to the name of any young girl by
linking it with his and sending far and near
throughout the country paragraphs which
had no foundation other than hearsay and
the imagination of the sender. Then he
dismissed her, not with a presidential
blessing, but with the remark that when
he saw lit to make public his private affairs,
and announce his engagement, he would do
so. But until that time arrived he desired
them to be left serenely alone. 1t Is
stated authentically that Miss Cleveland
is desirous that her brother should marry,
and would have been rejoiced had she been
able to bring about the musch with Miss
Van Fechten.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Mr. Nimmo.
who was until year ago chief of the bu-
reau of statistics, went TO Utah last fall in
pursuit of some information about stock

his attention, and he gave it some study.
From Utah he went to Idaho, and there he
struck the Mormon question again.
The Gentiles in Idaho of both political
parties got tired about a year ago
OF having the balance of power held by the
MormanS. and disfranchsed the whole
Mormon population and made them incap-
able of holding Office. These discoveries
led Mr.. Nimmo TO return TO Salt Lake City
