Banana Fibre.

Among the valuable products of the
soil now largely suffered to go to waste,
according to the United States consul
at San Salvador, is the fibre of the ba-
mana This fibre, which may be divi-
ded into threads of silken fineness, ex-
tends the length OF the body of the tree,
which grows without a branch from
ten { . fifteen feet high and has cir
cumference at the base of two and a
half 20 three feet. In central America
the fibre, with no preparation except
drying, is used for shoe strings, lariats
and cords for all purposes. In its
twelve months of existence the banana
tree bears only one bunch of fruit, but
from two to four or ten trees spring
from the roots of the one that has fallen.
At home the bunch of bananas Is worth
10 cents and the dead tree nothing,
though, If the supply were not mex
haustible, the latter would be worth ten
times the value of the fruit to a cord
age factory, paper mill, or coffee sack
maker. The banana leaf. with stems
of the toughest and finest threads, Is
from two and half to three feet wide
and ten to fifteen feet long and serves
the native women of San Salvador as
an umbrella in the rainy season, a car
pet on which ITO sit, and a bed on
which to rest.

Another Great Crowd OF HOosisrs Visit
General Harrison.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 27.-A thous-
and Hoosiers, principally from the northern
part Of the state, paid their respects to
General Harrison to-day. In the course Of
his remarks General Harrison referred to
the legislative appOrtionment and the appli-
cation of Washington and Dakota territories
for statehood. He said: "The appOrtion-
ment of our state for legislative and con-
gressionaI purposes is known to be unfair.
1t was intended to discriminate against the
republicans. hope now the time has
arrived when the sense Of justice which
20 ssss,s our people viii teach men of
all parties that party success is not to be
promoted at the expense OF injustice 20 any
of our citizens. When the republicans
shall secure the power Of making an aDpOr-
tionment, believe the experiment Of seek
ing party advantage by public injustice
will not be repeated. There are other
questions affecting suffrage. There are in
the northwest several territories organized
under public law with defined boundaries,
filed up with brave, enteTprising and in
telligent young men from all the states.
Several of these territories have been for
years possessed Of population, wealth, and
all requisites for admission as states. In
South Dakota there are nearly 500, 600 Peo-
pie. For years they have been knocking
for admission to the sisterhOod OF states.
The territory has more people, more miles
Of rail way, more pOstOmces, more churches,
more banks and more wealth, than any ter
ritOrv ever uosaessed when admitted into
the Union. Our people are called upon TO
take part ia the presidential election, and
the intelligent and patriotic people Of Da-
kota are deprived Of any participation.
They are deprived Of their appropriate IL
huencs in the electoral college, emily be-
cause the prevailing sentiment in the ter

NEW YORK. July 25.-An old armOry at
Elm and White streets has been used for
commercial purposes for some years, though
still owned by the city. This afternoon
the gallery along one side of the building
collapsed and fell, carrying down with it
five heavy folding machines and about fifty
girls and women. Over 200 girls and women
were at work at the time in the building,
and they fed panic stricken to the street
An effort was at once made to get out those
confined in the ruins Women were
shrieking and fainting, and shrieks and
means of pain and fright came from the
wreck. Blocks were rugged uB and the
work of removal began. The main hall
was occupied by the AcWilliams printing
company. The Lowell manufacturing
company, Of book printers and binders,
occupied . wide gallery around ths hall
fifteen feet from the 1Oor. In
the gallery were the i've heavy

1t is new Thought to be doubtful whether

As the senate amendments to the army bill

with view to throwing it into conference

DIES MONIES, Ia, July 25.-The eL-
animation of the railroad commissioners by
the attorneys for the Iowa roads was re-
sumed this morning Commissioner Bell
gave his opinion as to the operation of the
case of 1874. He thought it demon
strated that railroad corporations should,
by moderating their rates, in
crease their business. He thought
that maximum schedule like that of 1874
was calculated to increase competition. In
pBeparing the present schedule 1t was in
tended 10 harmonic its rates with the
interstate law, and to suit it to the long
and short haul clause. He thought that
the interstate rates ought not to be mater
tally greater than local rates. The object
of the Iowa commissioners was to
make such rates as would enable jobbers,
manufacturers millors and others To live ia
view of the operation Of the interstate
laws. Witness denied tho right of the
board to make an actual change in Classid-
cation or schedule after the publication of
the notice of the adoption Of q schedule
and before it takes effect. In the afternoon
Mr. Campbell testified that the record
which commissioner had declared was the
Office journal of the board was not aad said
that he had never seen the book before the
examination began. There was long tilt
between the attorneys and Campbell to get
him 10 say which was the original and
which the official schedule adopted by the
board. which he declined to answer directly.

THE IOWA SUITS.

Judge Brewer Renders = DecisiOn 10 -
tend the Temporary Injunction.
LEAvENwORTH, Kas., July 26.-Abou.
three weeks ago the Northwestern rail roaG
company applied to Judge Brewer for al
injunction to restrain the railroad commits
siOners Of Iowa from enforcing the schedule
of transportation rates which it had mad
under the authority Of the legislature
on the grounds that the rates
were so low that they would
bankrupt the road. The legislature can
not delegate its power A temporary in
junction was granted, and an explanatory
hearing was had to-day. Judge Bre We
has made a decision which continues the
temporary injunction. Discussing the
matter, he considers three questions,
namely: The legality of the suit against the
commissioners, the right of the legislature
to delegate the power to make a schedule,
and the right Ofthe state to nix railroad tariffs
He decides that an action on such case as
this IS not strictly an action against the
sta,e and can be maintained. Secondly
He TANKS that the state may delegate such
power to railroad commissioners least
the state courts have held that the delega-
ton of such power is constitutional.
Thirdly-He maintains that while the
state has the right to fix railroad rates,
it must make them reasonable; that
is high enough to maintain the roads, pay
fixed charges and a return to the stock
holders, however small. The question not
yet being settled that the rates of the COM
missiOners are reasonable in the sense that
Judge Brewer used the word the iniunc-
ton is continued for further hearing on
that point.

Inspector BOnfeld appeared as prosecutor
when Rudolph Sevic was brought in. The
inspector said he was the most dangerous
dynamiter in the city. BOnfeld gave
hitory, of Sevic and on his motion the case
was continued a week In bonds Of 81, 900.
''There is no doubt of Sevic's connection
with the cOnspiratOrs, - Bonfeld said sub
sequently. THE identity Of the dynamite
itself proves that. Sevic is q friend and coun-
trynan of Hronek, ChlebOun and Chapek.
This comes pretty near establishing Sevic's
connection with the plot. The bombs made
from dynamite were of devilish pattern,
and one of them might have killed fifty
men,"
This afternoon Sevic was carried with
HroneI. Chapek and Chelhoun before the
grand jury, who Immediately took up the
case. The proceedings we're guarded with
