CHICAGO. Jan. 4.-Offlcer Fitzgerald,
when passing disreputable house and low
saloon on South Clark street yesterday, OBJ
served two little girls in the place. He
questioned the woman who appeared to be
the keeper as to the ages of them and was
told they were both over is. But when
the officer questioned the girls they admitted
they were only 13 aud Il, respecti yely, and
had been inmates of the house for over
two weeks. The inmates were arrested
and taken to the armory. The little girls
belong TO respectable families and are not
booked. Their names are Lizzie Mcintyre
and Jennie Leon. The formers parents
live at 81 Western avenue, and the latter's
home is at the corner of Ashland and Dex-
ter avenues. They told pitiful tale about
the hardships of a cash girls life. For a
year they had been employed in different
downtown dry goods stores. Their life
was anything but sunshine. and becoming
tired of the drudgery from morning till
night, they were easily induced to enter a
life or shame. When they were met on the
street by woman about two weeks ago
they were easy prey. and accepted the prop
osition of the designing woman. She told
them they would soon wear fine dresses
and always have a good time, but their ex-
pectations were not realized. They were
compelled to associate with drunken men,
and their new life soon became unbearable.
When their parents, who had been notified
of their arrest. called at the station to-day,
they were only too glad to return home.
The procureSs who induced the girls to
enter life of shame does not live at the
house where the girls were rescued and
cannot be found

Situation Seriou. in Burmah.

LONDON, Jan. A recent dispatch
from Rangoon says that the situation is be-
coming serious. Both Upper and Lower
Burmah are now Infested with Dacoits,
who are overrunning whole districts. In
Upper Burmah. particularly, they are burn
ing and pillaging numberless villages. The
poor people are flying to the larger towns
for refuge in a state of panic. leaving their
homes to be plundered by the marauders.
The garrison at this place is almost denuded
of troops in order to meet the demands Of
the army of occupation, and 1t is still Inn
possible to supply all the men needed to
maintain order in the conquered country.
A large force of Ghoornas is
wanted to cope with the Dacoits
successfully. The prospects are not en-
couraging. Those who most loudly called
for the annexation of Upper Burmah a
short time since have considerably modified
their opinion, and there are many who be-
lieve that such policy will prove disas-
trous. The steamer Pankow was to sail
from Portsmouth, England. OIL Saturday

draft of 10, ZOO men to reinforce the British
arms in India. The steamer Deccan Is to
leave on the 18th inst. with 1000 men. and
the steamer Euphrata on the 10th with a
similar number of troops.

sons are advanced as TO why these securi-
ties were taken away. One rumor Is that
there is a conspiracy of large proportions
soon to be unearthed. and that Mcneil is
only one OF the parties interested. Ma
tional Bank Examiner Getchell says the
books of the bank have been falsified, and
ii is slow work to analyze the accounts and
detect fraudulent entries.

Senator Beck has received more letters than

taken and urging him to stand firm in sup
port of the silver bill. While the bulk of
these letters have come from the West and

CONGREsSIONAL PROGRAM.
The Work Already Mapped Out for
the New Congress.

the New Congress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The most inter-
esting and important feature of the present
week in the house of representatives will be,
of course, the announcement of the mem
bership of the various committees which
will formulate the work to be done by the
Forty-ninth congress. Throughout the
holiday recess Speaker Carlisle has been
busily engaged in forming the committees
and to-day he occupied one of the rooms at
the capital and denied himself to all callers
and devoted himself to the completion of
his task. Unless something unforeseen
should happen. the result of his labors will
be announced to the house tomorrow, i'm
mediately after the reading Of the journal.
Then, in obedience to the order of the
house, the call Of states for the introduc-
tion of bills and resolutions will be resumed
at the point where it was interrupted by the
adjournment for the holidays. The call
will probably. not be completed till late
Wednesday afternoon. The 1,004 bills in
troduced the day before the recess were in
troduced by eghty-nine members, an aver
age of over eleven bills to each representa-
tive. Should this average be kept up, nearly
1000 additional measures will be referred
on Tuesday and Wednesday to the newly
appointed committees The house presi-
Dental succession bill remains on the speak
ers table, and though an attempt may be
made to pass it by unanimous consent, it
will, in all likelihood, be referred to the
committee having jurisdiction over its sub
ject matter. Should this be done the house
will find itself on Thursday without any
business before it and an adjournment till
Monday will probably be taken to enable
the committees to organize and to report
proposed legislation.
The bill to fix the salaries of judges of
district courts and the resolution of inquiry
with regard to the action of the authorities
of Dakota are unfinished business in the
senate. The committees of the body are
expected to begin work in earnest during
the week, and it is expected that not much
legislative work will be undertaken in the
senate other than the consideration of the
two measures named. Probably a large
part of the time of the senate will be spent
with closed doors in an endeavor to dispose
of the great number of accumulated nomi-
nations.

Special 10 the Globe.
Mt. STERLING, KY, Jan. 4.-News has
just reached here of a brutal effort to as
sault very respectable young lady of Wolfe
county named Miss Sallie Van Cleve by
Critand Clelland Cassidy and Wesly King,
three Breathitt county desperadoes, on the
night of the 24th ult., near the home of the
young lady's father, near Campton. the
county seat of Wolfe county. Miss Van
Cleve was accompanied by her father on
her return from a neighbor's. whom she
had been visiting. The would-be ravishers
made desperate onslaught on the father
and attempted to wrest the girl from him.
A severe struggle ensued, during which
Mr.. Van Cleve was forced to the ground.
The daughters heroism, however, at this
critical juncture interposed, and seizing a
stick which lay at her feet she gave the as
sailants such beating as TO cause them TO
unloose her father. The old man, thus
freed from her grasp. drew his pocket
knife, his only weapon. and almost severed
Crit Cassidy's head from his body. His
accompliees made good their escape, bear
ing their wounded companion with them.
They have not yet been apprehended,
although a vigorous pursuit will be made.
Should they be oyertaken, the common
wealth will not De at any expense for their
trial and conviction. The righteous indig-
nation of the young lady's friends will save
all trouble and expense.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4-In spite Of heavy
downpour. of rain the Academy of Music
was crowed tonight by prominent and fash
ionable people, to listen to the first produc-
tion of American opera. The work chosen
was 1.-THE Tanning of the Shrew." The
orchestra was led by Theodore Thomas.
The verdict tonight seems to be that the
production was fairly successful and merited
the approval which it secured. Toward
the close there was an American ballet,
which was probably the least successful.
