PENSION PERILS.
Mr.. Wilson's Proposition Would Bank

rupt the Country.
WASHINGTON, March LIN the Senate
to-day the pension bill was taken up, the
pending question being on the amendment
offered yesterday by Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa,
to add the words from inhrmities of age g"
Mr. Beck said that he understood the mean
ing of the amendment to be that every man
who served in the late war or IN the war
with Mexico, or in any Indian ~"ar, and
who was suffering under the infirnnties of
age" would be entitled to pension of $l2
per month. He supposed that every
man over so or 60 years of age
would consider himself as suffering under
the infirmities of age. Could the Senator
from Iowa, or any other Senator, guess
how much money that amendment, if
adopted would take out of the treasury?
He ventured to assert that $500, 200, 900
would not half cover the amount of the ex-
penditure under it. There was no use, he
said, in talking of surplus in the treasury.
This bill would settle that for all time to
come.
MEANS BANKRUPTCY.
The moment Congress untertook to pen
sion all men who became old the country
would be bankrupted unless taxes were
doubled, trebled and quadrupled The pro-
tected robber baron monopollsts could not
have drawn a bill in their own interest
more adroitly than this bill was drawn.
Incidental to this phase of the bill Mr..
Beck digressed to discussion of the tariff,
and later on the monetization of silver and
trusts"
Interruptions and questions by other
Senators turned the discussion into an in
terlocutory debate which was participated
in by Messrs. Hawley, Plumb, Sherman,
Aldrich, Platt, Teller and Mcpherson, and
without vote on the pending amendment
the Senate adjourned till Monday.

Count DeLesseps Makes as Roseate a
Report as : ossible.
PARIS, March IN DeLesseps in his re-
ports to the extra meeting of the Panama
Canal Company to-day stated that the ill
will of the opponents of the canal which
resulted in compelling the company to bor-
row money at higher rate of interest than
was expected, is the only cause of the in
creased cost, and of the intimidation of GER
tain OF the company's contractors. Referr-
ing to the number of cubic meters excava-
ted in 1887, the report states that owing to
the prevalence of a rainy season, and diff

Lesseps can hardly insure the completion of

The directors have been induced to agree
to the construction of locks by means of
which vessels Of the largest tonnage NAV
traverse the canal in 1890 before the work
is absolutely completed
The financial statement shows that no.
600, 900 francs were in hand on Jan. 1, 1888.
Pending the decision of the government re-
garding lottery loan, it has been decided
to proceed with a third issue of bonds of
1000 francs each to the value of 900, 000, 900
francs, repayment of which will be pro-
vided for by the creation of a guarantee
fund invested in rents
In conclusion, Count de Lesseps expresses
his absolute confidence in the completion of
the canal. The meeting unanimously
adopted Count de Lesseps' report.

SIBLEY, To-, April 5.-A tornado,
wind and hail storm swept over this
place at 1890 p. m. yesterday, doing
/ considerable damage to property.
Without a moments warning the wind
arose from a slight breeze to hurri-
cane, and in very short space OF time
: chimneys, fences. lumber and other
available property were torn from their
resting places and hurled through the
air at violent rate of speed. Building
material of all kinds in the yard OF
James Davidson was picked up, torn to
atoms, carried squares away and lodged
in trees and out districts. The storm
had mania for chimneys, many being
swept Off even with the roofs, one OF
which, on the public school building,
CRASHED THROUGH THE ROOF
into the midst of the teachers institute,
but aside from few slight bruises no
harm was done. A box car in the B.,
it's side, and other and more serious
damage was done. The wind mill of
j. NJ. Farwell was blown down and
completely demolished, entailing loss
$4,000. This was one OF the
largest wind mills in the
state, being used to propel a grist mill
machinery. The agricultural ware
house belonging to Grant & Hanon was
rent by the blow, and now stands at an
angle of fOrty-fve degrees, the damage
of which is about $4,000. A wind mill
belonging to Armour, near town, was
also badly damaged. After the chimney
of w. w. Ebb left it's mornings, the
house caught fire, and but for prompt
action would have burned to the ground,
and was damaged s75. Reports are COM
gfrom the rural districts bearing in
telligence of considerable

One building was also re-
ported partly unrOofed in HOl-

that ever visited this country, and the
losses throughout the country will
amount to at least $4,000, probably a
great deal more.

A Notorious Career.

Special to the Globe.
MADISON, Wis, April 5.-John Cur
ran, who killed w. w. Hazeltine, at
Stevens Point Tuesday, has very no
torious career in this city. For several
years he was prominent figure during
the legislative session, when he used to
buck the tiger with the Wisconsin So
Ions and initiate them into the mysteries
of certain political accomplishments.
During the session of 1881, when Phile-
tus Sawyer was elected to the United
States senate, Curran was his local rep
reSentative and conducted his campaign,
handling all the funds for the lumber
king and paying for the wines and sup
perS. Both John and his brother Henry
were well known here in early days,
when they were notorious gamblers and
politicians. Several years ago Henry
Curran was shot and wounded by Curt
Wyehs, a gambler, in the Villas house
bar room, over quarrel growing out of
a faro game. The remains of the muir
dered HaZeltine arrived here this morn
ing and were taken to the home of his
parents, in the town of Brooklyn, six
teen miles from this city.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Seven Men Fearfully Burned by
Molten Iron.

New YORK, April "a terrible acct
dent occurred to-day at the Delamater
Iron works. Seven men were casting
an iron mould. They stood on a plank
crossing a pit in which was the mould,
holding an iron lade containing 200
pounds of molten iron. In some way
the plank slipped and threw the molten
liquid over the men. Four men were
removed to st. Vincent's hospital, two
of whom are dying. The injuries of
three others were attended to and the
men were sent home. Those who sur
viyed will be frightfully disfigured.
When the plank gave way the men were
thrown into the pit and the molten iron
was thrown oversthem. The four men
seriously burned are j. b. Lawrie, aged
thirty, of Jersey City; Peter Barton,
aged twenty-One, of 400 West Nine
teenth street, both of whom will proba-
bly, die; Peter Delaner, aged twenty
three, and Hugh Mulihan, aged twenty
six, who may recover. The plank on
which the men stood, holding the
ladle containing 200 pounds Of iron, was
only fourteen inches wide. The blame
for the affair has not been placed.

Phosphates and Kerosene.

BALTIMORE, April Sat an early
hour this morning a large one-story
warehouse on Hooper's wharf was dis
covered to be on fire and the firemen
responded quickly. Its contents were
coal oil and phosphates belonging to
I'll fifth & Co., and were destroyed. The
burning oil ran under the adjoining
warehouse containing 600 barrels of coal
oil, which, with its contents, was also
destroyed. The damage is now esti-
mated at $4,000. The burning Oil ran
over the wharf to the water in the har-
Dor, which for time was sheet of
flame. A number of small vessels were
lying near. all of which escaped serious
injury, except small sloop, which was
caught and her sails and rigging de-
stroyed. A change of the wind, which
blew the flames back toward the wharf,
materially aided in saving the sailing
craft.

complication under the prOhibitory law

stock of liquor belonging to F. B.

that few days ago he secretly removed

house of the Burlington road while the
attention of the watcher was diverted.
Yesterday constable pOunced down
upon the freight house and captured
twenty-One barrels of whisky under the
pretense that he was recapturing the
goods taken from his custody. But it is
charged that he took more than the
Stubs liquor, and seized some regularly
consigned to another dealer. The threat
is now made that Stubs will be prose-
cuted for having stolen his own liquor,
