THE SWITCHMEN.
New Men Being Hired--Police Pro-
lection Guaranteed.


CHICAGO, March 26.-The time for the
Burlington switchmen to return to their
work expired this afternoon, and as
none of the old men appeared at the
yard, the formal announcement was
made that the strikers were all dis
charged. New men were at once hired
and several trains were dispatched. The
"Q'' officials say that none of the strik-
ers will be taken back under any cir
cumstances, and that inside of
forty-eight hours full working
force of switchmen will be secured.
'''The men are simply FOOLS" said Presi-
dent Perkins, of the Burlington, to-day.
''They had no complaints or grievances
to make, and they have made none.
They have struck for the sole purpose
of helping somebody else, and the re-
suit will be they will all lose their
places" 1t was stated tonight by Off
cials of the switchmen's union that the
switchmen were out to stay, and that
the strike would probably extend along
the entire line of the road as soon as
the men could be reached. The brake
men, it was stated, were also getting
ready to strike. During the day Presi-
dent Perkins and General Passenger
Agent Morton, of the Burlington, called
on Mayor Roche and Chief of Police
Hubbard and had lengthy conference.
The result was that the officials were
assured of all the police protection that
was necessary, No attempts either to
destroy property or injury the new men
would be permitted and the police force
would be instructed accordingly.

WOMEN IN CONVENTION.
The International Convention of
Women Formally Opened.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The inter-
national council of women formally
opened to-day in Albaugh's grand
opera house. 1t was assembled by the
National Woman Suffrage Association
of the United States to celebrate the
fortieth anniversary of the first wo-
mans rights convention. Susan b. An
thony called the council to order. Upon
the stage were seated hundred or more
delegates from Woman's Rights assocl-
ations or kindred societies in this or
other countries. About thirty aSs0cla-
tlons of this character are represented
in the council, which is probably the
largest gathering of notable women III
the history of this country. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton delivered the address of
welcome, and after reviewing at some
length the history of the suffrage move
ment, she said:
''In calling this council we antici-
pated many desirable results. Aside
from the pleasure of mutual acquaint-
ance in meeting face to face so many of
our countryWomen, as well as those from
foreign lands, we hoped to secure thor
Ough national and international organI-
cations in all those reforms in which we
are mutually interested. To come to-
gether for week and part with the
same fragmentary societies and clubs.
would be the defeat of half
OF the purpose OF our gath
ering. Above all things that
women need to-day in their reform
work is thorough cogniZance, and to this
end we must cultivate some esprit de
corps of sex, a generous trust In each
other. A difference OF opinion on one
nf
working unitedly in those on which we
agree. Above all, let us hold our theo
logical speculationS of future life i'll
allegiance to the principal work of the
present existence, recognizing all alike,
all religionS-Jew and Gentle, Catholic
and ProteStant-to be held equally
sacred in their honest opinions. The
solitude of every human soul. alike in
our moments of eXaltation and humlll-
alton, in our highest joys and deepest
sorrows, into which no other one can
ever fully enter, proves our birthright
to supreme Self-SOvereignty. As in all
the great emergencies of life we must
stand alone, and for final judgment rely
upon ourselves, we cannot OvereStimate
the necessity for that liberty by which
we attain our highest development and
that knowledge that fits us for self-re-
lance and self-protectiOn.''
At the conclusion of Mrs. Stanton's
address (Which was often interrupted
by applause), Miss Anthony introduced
to the audience. in the order named,
delegates from Norway, Finland, France,
India, Ireland, England and Canada.
Each was greeted with hearty applause,
to which brief responses were made.
During her address Mrs. Stanton
.gVb ~ IN
present day that the next generation of
women will not stand arguing with you
as patiently as we have for half cen
tury. The organizations of labor all
over the country are holding out their
hands to women. The time is not far
distant when, if men do not do justice
to women, the women will strike hands
with labor, with socialists, with anar-
chsts, and you will have the scenes of
the revolution of France acted over
again in thisarepublic."

DESTROYED BYA TORNADO.
A Small Town in Kansas Almost En-

THREE PERSONS KILLED.
An Immense Landslide in Kansas City
Causes Great Damsge--A Dyna-
mite Explosion.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 26.-Word
has just been received of the almost ut
ter destruction of the town of MINES
cab, Kingman county, Kan, Saturday
evening at 7:30 by tornado. 1t had
been raining all day, and as evening ap-
preached the storm was seen approach
ing from the southwest. 1t struck the
town and destroyed everything in its
path, leaving only three houses stand
ing in the whole place. Two churches,
five stores and fifteen dwellings were
torn to pieces. and the flying timbers
killed three persons and MANNED seven
teen others. The victims are:
Mrs. j. C. WILLIAMS, with her infant,
killed
GEORGE S. HARDESTY, killed.
JAMES WILLIAMS, both legs broken and sew
eral bruises, will probably die.
CHARLES GORDON, injured in the back, sup
posed to be fatally.
The others injured have only minor
hurts. The heavy fall of rain which has
continued since the tornado has added to
the discomfort of the sufferers.

MERITED FAVOR.

The impression that the appropria-
tiOnS committee intends to deal llber-
ally with Northwestern waterways
is probably well founded. If it isn't, it
should be. There is no other section of
the country whose waterways are, COM
mercially. of as much Importance as
those of the Northwest. The great
lakes, whose commerce is greater than
that entering any one port in the coun-
try, have never received adequate gov
ernment attention.
While obscure rivers and worthless
trout streams in sections of the country
possessing the requisite political influ-
ence have absorbed their hundreds of
thousands, the great lakes have been
obliged to be content with hundreds, or
at the most thousands, for improve
ments whose completion is of vital inn
portance. Particularly is this true with
regard to what may be termed the West
ern terminal facilities Of the lakes. The
harbOrs at Dulut.-, Superior, Ashland
and other points, where the commerce
of the lakes finds its Western outlet, are
The $500 canal is almost useless in
the height of the navigation season,
though the entire shipping Of the lake
must pass through it, because the gov
ernment has not seen fit to eXpend upon
it the money necessary to enable it to
meet the vast demands made upon it.
Every cent of the S7,0O0,00O asked for its
further development can be prohtably
expended, yet the amount asked is re-
garded as preposterouS by many mem
berS OF the committee.
Again, the continued improvement
of the Mississippi, from its head of navi-
CATION at the Twin Cities to its outlet, is
something in which vast extent of ter
ritory is interested, if not through the
actual commerce of which the river is
the medium, because of the fact that
it acts as the regulator of rates for
! many railroads. Liberality is needed in
both these directions, and congress can
hardly go astray in the matter of gen.

of existence. He knows, as we know,
that these dollars do not go into the
public treasury, but, instead, 60 into
the pockets of some Eastern manufact-
urers. Now the true test of constitu-
tionality OF law is not to be determined
so much by the benefits it confers as by
the rights it destroys. There can be no
grosser outrage perpetrated upon a citi-
zen than to tax him for the personal, in
dividual benefit of another citizen. Its
a direct violation of the constitution and
an unwarranted invasion of the most
sacred rights conferred upon American
citizens

Gently investigated the charges of
brutality and other misdemeanOrs of

lnhuman punishment so as to cause the
death of some and greatest physical
torture to many others; for not at all
times furnishing sufficient food, cloth
ing and medical attention, and not pro-
vlding suitable lodging and bedding for
convicts; for not providing suitable
quarters for sick and disabled though
expressly ordered to do so by tile
BOARD; for frequently INJECTING
horrible punishment on cOnvicts
Dy, wardenS i'll charge for
failure to perform allotted tasks; for
working in mines convicts without
suitable provisions to prevent acci-
dents. thus causing many to receive

physically unable to work; for total fail
ure of the warden of the penitentiary,
whose duty it is to prevent such viola
tiOnS of the law and that the rules and
regulations of the board are faith
fully executed, to perform that duty.
IN view OF these facts the board ordered
convlcts at once returned to the peni-
tentiary and refuse permission to work

that the chief warden of the penitentiary
be at once dismissed from his position
and not hereafter retained by lessees in
any service whatever, and that subject

Tried to Thaw Dynamite.

MIDDLETOWN, March 26.-An acct
dent occurred yesterday at Cooks
Falls, ON the New York, Ontario q
Western railroad. Some days ago rise
in Beaverskill creek Overfiowed the
roadbed, washing away the track. A
gang of men employed by General Sup
erintendent Childs were engaged in
blowing up the heavy ice in the main
channel of the river. so as to allow the
water to run off. The dynamite caps
used in this work became frozen and
an attempt was made to thaw them
when an explosion occurred. Thomas
Branney, of Navesink, and Lewis Nor
ton, of Trout Brook, each had leg
broken, and Irving Stewart, of Cooks
Falls, had his left knee cap blown off.
All the other persons engaged were
more or less seriously injured.

TT is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

An intelligent Rice county farmer
writes to the GLOBE: 81 am Republi-
can. and have been educated to believe
in the protection doctrine. But | con-
fess my faith has been shaken by the
strong points made by Senator VANCE
against the constitutionality of a pro-
tective tariff and by the pertinent criti-
cisms you made in your editorial review
of VANCE's article. Like the old Greek
philosopher, [ am in search OF light, and
| want you to answer me one question.
Has protection private purpose to sub
serve or public one? Upon this, in my
opinion, hinges the whole question of
constitutionality. 1t is because l have
always thought high tariff to be pub
lie benefit that l have been a protec-
tioniSt."
You are right in saying that the aues-
tion of constitutionality hinges upon
whether a protective tariff SUBJ
serves public or a private pur-
pose. We had hoped that in our
review of Senator VANCE's admirable
article we had made plain the fact that
protection is only intended as subsidy
to private industries. But to go into a
more detailed argument, we will answer
our correspondents question in true
Yankee fashion by asking him another
What is the first effect of protective
tariff, and upon whom does it operate?
If you want proper test of its conSti-
tutionality, will find it in the answer
to that question. The direct effect of a
protective tariff is to ralse the price of
all foreign goods on which it is levied,
and of all similar goods owned by pri-
vate citizens. 1t operates upon all as
to taxation. but upon only part as to
benefits. The purpose of a tariff
for revenue only is to enrich
the public treasury. The pur-
pose of a tariff for protection is to
enrich the individual-and if that be not
private purpose, then we confess that
we can find no language to describe such
purpose as contradistingulshed from
a public one.
But to bring the argument little
closer home to our Rice county friend.
we have but to remind him that every
year, because of the protective tariff, he
pays out in the purchase of his farming
utensils and family supplies great
many dollars that he would not have to
pay out if the protective policy were out

The Storey Estate.

CHICAGO, March 26.-The estate of
the late Wilbur F. Storey, founder of
the Chicago Times, was formally adj
ministered on by the probate court to-
day. James j. West, the receiver of
the estate, filed petition for appoint
ment as administrator, setting forth
that he is now in possession of the en-
tire estate, both real and personal, of
the deceased, subject only to the
payment of the just debts and Iiabili-
lies Iof the estate; that he is
fhe owner by purchase of the property
from the widow and the heirs at law of
the deceased, and is in possession by
virtue of such purchase and conveyance
from them, and as a receiver duly ap-
pointed by the court. The estate has
been practically distributed in accord
ance with the orders of the court. and
nothing remains except to adjust and
bay the debts which may be found ow-
ing by the estate. A. West was ap-
pointed administrator, in bonds of $780,
600.

No Answer Filed.

CHICAGO, March 26.-Contrary to the
announcements made Saturday ON be-
half of the Burlington, no answer was
filed by that company to-day denying
the allegations of the Rock Island re-
garding an attempt to force the fOrma-
ton of great Western railway trust.
Instead, the hearing of the Burlington's
motion for an injunction against the
Rock Island was postponed until Judge
Gresham's return from Milwaukee.
This means delay of probably about a
week. The postponement was sug-
gested by the Burlington, Attorney
Dexter writing to the counsel for the
Rock Island that there was no hurry at
present for the hearing.

A LANDSLIDE.
Kansas City Property Damaged
by an Avalanche.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 26.-The
heavy storm which prevailed all day
Saturday and yesterday caused tre-
mendous landslide this afternoon on
the bluff facing the union depot, which
threatens to work incalculable injury to
the property along the bluff street for
distance of three and half squares.
Tons of earth and huge boulders crashed
down, completely demoliShing the
frame engine house at the entrance of
the Eighth street cable tunnel. Along
the face of the bluff, about half way
from the base to the top, is ledge about
thirty feet in width on which are num-
Der of Shanties occupied by colored peo-
pie. This ledge is now scanned with i'm
mense assures which extend its whole
length, and houses are tilted in every
direction, while the residents have
been compelled to flee for their lives.
What damage will be done by all extern
sion of the catastrophe cannot be esti-
mated. The union depot and stores
along Union avenue, the elevated rail
road station, the Eighth street cable
line power house and several factories
and mills lie directly in the path of the
avalanche

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, March &C.
There is at least some indication that
the people of the counties of West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky lying along the Big
Sandy river will be released from the
domination of the band of robbers, muir
derers and outlaws which has ranged
up and down the country over an area
of more 100 square miles during the past
eighteen months. Two of the ringlead-
ers, brothers, named Charles and Ste
phen Kelly, were recently captured. In
the hope of bettering their prospects at
their trial. they made confession. The
KelIyS said they were members of
gang of twelve men recruited in Ohio,
Kentucky and West Virginia, who had
induiged in TObberieS and murder as
trade, but their motto was: Never kill
unless compelled to do so to gain your
end" In the confession the Kellys
named as Il member of the gang an old
man named Workman. who has served
time. They further said that they shot
and killed Edward Bushnar CeredO last
year, and that they robbed p. Lyman
and brother at Dunkirk: the store of j.
B. Newman * Co., at the mouth Of

dences and stores, at Guyandotte,

A SAD CASE.
Two Respectable Women Die OF
Starvation.

PHILADELPHIA, March ga dis
patch from Mt. Holly, n. j., says sad
case of poverty and destitution came to
light in the most respectable quarter of
Mt. Holly last night. In a neat resi-
dence the three Misses Aaron and their
sister, Mrs. Wiegand, have lived in a
quiet way for number of years past.
They ars all children of the late Samuel
Aaron, who was known four years ago
as one of the educators of his day. and
as a gentleman of rare intellect
ual attainments. AT his death
he left small estate part
of which was house in
Mount Holly. where MS daughters
have since lived. Having but small
means, the latter lived very economic
ally. Recently they have been seen but
little by the neighbors. 1t was found
on Sunday that one of the sisters, Miss
Mary Ann Aaron, and Mrs. Wiegand
were dead. The cause of the trou-
bic was learned. The women were lit
orally starving. Another of the sisters
is in very precarious condition, and it
would not be surprising if she did not
long survive.
