NEW YORK, March 1.-The decision of
the grand jury on the question of finding
an indictment against Gould and Sage, as
reported to the court, stated that they had
given careful consideration to the case and
could find no grounds upon which to find
an indictment. The attorneys opposed to
Gould are not satisfied and propose to fight
the case.
1t is stated that the watch manufactur
ers in order to be in the current fashion
have formed Il trust. The association de
cided that jobbeTS must not sell watch
cases and movements seperat ply. The ar
bitrary action of the manufacturers is said
to be aimed at the Dueber Watch Case
company, which is not in the combination
and on which the association declared war
The fight is certain to result in a descrip-
ton OF the present rates on cases aud there
is possibility OF an establishment being
erected capable of competing with the
Waltham and Elgin companies in the
manufacture of movements.

TROUBLEN THE WEST.
Conductors and Brakemen on the Atlantic
II & Pacific Strike.

ALBUQUERQUE. March 1.-The strike of
the conductors and brakemen ON the At
lantic & Pacific road is complete through
out the entire line and business on the
road is virtually suspended. West-bound
passengers coming into Albuquerque are
sent to California by the Southern
Pacific. The road is making every
effort to fill the places of the
strikers with new men, but their efforts so
far are not very successful. The strikers
are perfectly quiet and orderly and no
demonstrations OF any kind have been
made to indicate any disposition to resort
to violent measures.
The strike effects about 700 men, the
majority of whom are married. A
leader of the strikers said last night:
I'VE, like men on all other roads,
are paid certain amount per mile. Our
superintendent, who is recently from
Georgia, issued an order compelling us to
do an extra amount of hard work for which
we received no compensation, thereby
preventing us from earning what
we consider fair wages. When
our committee asked him to re-
call the order he refused to do SO and re-
Piled that he could procure plenty of men
in Georgia who would work for SIS per
month, and if necessary should run his
trains with negroes. After being satisfied
we were not receiving proper treatment
and had no redress we concluded to go
out"

OVER THE OCEAN.
ENGLAND.

LONDON. March 2.-Official news has
been received here that the condition OF
the German crown prince is alarming.
Upon receipt Of this intelligence the Lord
Chamberlain communicated with the
queen with reference to altering the court
arrangements for next week, which in
clude levee and drawing ROOM he
was directed not to alter the present ar
rangements, but to prepare to postpone
the receptions at the shortest notice. The
prince of Wales has left the Revierra and
is returning to London.
The foreign office has made public dis
patches received from Mr. Joseph Cham
berlain during the progress OF negotla-
tons at Washington tor The fisheries
treaty In communication to Lord
Salisbury, dated Washington, February
10, Mr. Chamberlain stated that the Amer
lean government on the present occasion
repudiated any desire to share In the
shore fisheries of Canada. The point OF
dispute was therefore limited to the ques-
ton of commercial facilities. The treaty
now submitted gives expression to those
views providing for full concession of all
commercial facilities to the fishing vessels
of the United States whenever and as long
as the products of Canadian fisheries are
admitted into the United States.
The French schooner Fleur de la Mere
has foundered off the Island of Cayenne.
Sixty passengers were drowned.
Lord Salisbury, in an interview with
Baron De Staal, the Russian ambassador,
today declared that he would oppose the
deposition of Prince Ferdinand, unless the
powers agreed upon his successor upon the
Bulgarian throne. He added that the
nomination of the Prince of Mingrelia
would not receive the assent Of England.
Arrangements are being made privately
to transport the German crown prince to
Berlin, on account of the animosity felt in

electorals of the kingdom the Liberals

MILLS ON THE BILL.
He is Well Pleased and Thinks 1t Will
Surely Pass the House.

NEW YORK, March "A Washington
special to the Herald says: Chairman
Mills is much pleased with the outcome Of
his work and that Of his Democratic col
leagues. Mr.. Mills said yesterday to your
correspondent that he believed that the
bill was so conservative and fair in shar-
acter that it would command a majority in
the house of representatives. He admits
that fourteen Democrats of the Randall
school will probably vote against the
measure; two from Pennsylvania
two from New Jersey, four from
Ohio four from Louisiana and two from
California. He expects, however, that
their votes will be offset by those of at
least eight or ten Republicans mostly
from the northwest.
Mr.. Mills continued: 81 think the bill
will pass by IA slender majority | said
the bill was about S50,0OO000. We in
tended, however, to re-enact the old pack
age clause providing for duty on pack
ages, which was omitted from the tariff
act of 1882. This clause, as you are aware,
does not lay Il special tax on packages
of different kinds, but merely provides the
nature OF the goods and bears upon them
accordingly. This will add from 50 600. 0O0
to l0,O00,0 coo to the revenue so that the net
reduction OF revenue proposed by the bill
will not exceed S45,0O0,000. / think it is
the opinion of the ma jOrity of our commit
tee that the revenue of the government
should be reduced not less than $40. 900 600
We have therefore left SD. 000. 900 to be dis
posed of by changes in internal revenue

and at once sought a conference with
the night police. He had walked in ten
miles from point noath of here, at which
point some one fired into passenger train
No 3O2 at 7:20 o'clock. The shot struck
passenger, and it was at first thought
that he was badly injured, but
an examination revealed the fact
that the ball had spent its force
in plug of tobacco that was in his pants
pocket Detective Tut happened to be
aboard the train, and at once pulled the
bell cord and got off and began 4 search
for the would be assassin. He found his
tracks in the mud and traced him to Ovid.

was lost The search is being continued
today.

HUDSON CHANGES JAILS.

Ell PAso Tex, March 2.-Charles Hud-
son. alias Woodson Freeman, the alleged
Mapula train robber, was taken from the
FL Paso county jail across to Mexico today
by the chief of police of Paso Del Norte
Hudson was not eXtradited, but went vol
unfairly, asserting that he could establish
his innocence when placed on trial at
chihuahua At preliminary hearing
here before I. A Falvey, judge of the
state district court, and EXtradition
Agent Strong, testimony against Hud-
son was brought out, and Judge Fal-
vey stated that, while he believed he had
discretionary power under the treaty to
eXtradite Hudson, he would not take the
responsibility of exercising that power
but would refer the case with the testimo-
ny to President Cleveland and Secretary
Bayard. The treaty provides that neither
country shall be required to extradite one
of its own citizens on charge of crime
committed in the other country. Hudson
concluded that he would be eytraditsd
and rather than have his case prejudiced
By forcible proceedings, he had better go
voluntarily

The Art of Fist Fighting.

Meanwhile | am willing TO concede that
one OF the most admired and effective fea-
lures of the art of fist fighting, as prac-
tiCed during the last 100 years, may be of
modern invention. The very word box
is a confirmation of this view IL is de-
rived from an old German noun signifyiug
cheek; and 10 box a man meant To fetch
him a bang on the cheek or the ear; in
other words 70 hit him q swinging or
roundabout blow. Now, this is the in
stinctive blow Of the uneducated fighter,
the reason being that a swinging blow,
when it reaches its mark, is more telling
than blow Of any other kind IL is en-
forced by the lateral swing and weight Of
the whole body; and when it arrives some
thing has TO go; sometimes il ia the knuck-
les, sometimes il is the wrist: but gener-
ally speaking it is the person who gets il.
The blow, however, is open To two seTi-
Gus objections. First, il is easily parried I:
and in the second place it exposes the
striker 10 a detrimental retort. According
IL science has dismissed IL except in spe-
cial predicamentsl in favor Of the straight
forward blow, which, though lacking the
stunning impact Of the other. is much
more difficult 70 ward Off, can be delivered

IHE CYCLONE

NEWTON, Kan, March "A destructive
cyclone visited this city at o'clock Thurs
day afternoon. 1t was preceded by the
usual calm and oppressiveness in the at
mosphere. Just before 5 O'Clock a dense
smoky cloud was seen approaching from
| the west. Almost at the same instant an
intensely cold wave from the north
met it and there issued forth
dark cloud that moved rapidly in the
direction of the southwestern part Of
the city The first building struck was
the Newton buggy factory. The roof of
the main part of the building was stripped
off and hurled 100 feet east One timber
struck William Lacey, an employe, on the
head, killing him instantly. The
cloud next struck Watte's adj
dition to the city, demolishing
and scattering in all directions six dwell
ing houses and number of barns. Miss
Annie Noble, who was in one of the
houses, was struck by flying timber and
will probably die. Mrs. Mary Smith, an
inmate of the same house, had her shoul-
der dislocated and otherwise injured but
not seriously. 4 number of horses and
cows were killed, while fences,
walks and trees Were strewn for many
blocks Other parts of the city suffered
down, while chimneys on many residences
were carried away.
Just after the cyclone came terrific hail
storm which was followed by rain that fell
in torrents. Had the storm cloud struck
the city but few blocks further north,
the loss of life and destruction
of property would have been
frightful. AS it was. only the southwest
corner was injured. The total loss in the
city will be over $4,000, while the damage
to dwellings and barns in the surrounding
country Will be nearly as great. William
j. Lacey, the man killed, is unmarried, 81
years old, came here from Kansas City a
year ago, has brother in that city and a
sister in Milwaukee, Wis, and one in
Chicago
A mass meeting Of citizens was held in
Music hall here this evening in aid Of the
sufferers by Thursdays cyclone. Com
mittees were appointed to take charge of
contributions and the city council will
head the list with s., 900.

special from Newton, Kansas says a

A STRIKE AVERTED,

KANSAS CITY, March "A threatened
strike of engineers on the entire system of
the Kansas City, Ft. Scott & Gulf railroad
was averted today by the company con-
ceding to the men more than is asked for
by the striking engineers on the Burling-
ton system. For the past week there have
been hints of trouble on the road
between the engineers and the COM
pany and the grievance committee has been
holding daily conferences with the officials
of the road for the past week. These con-
ferences have been strictly private, but it
was learned tonight that the negotiations
ended today in sweeping victory for the
men. The company grants passenger
engineers 81 cents per mile, with 100 miles
or less to constitute days work. For
all other than local freight
trains they are to receive 4 cents
per mile, and for local freight
A cents per mile The company agrees
that there shall be no discrimination on
account of different sizes in wheels, and
last, but not least, binds itself to abolish
all classification on the entire system, one
engineer receiving the same as another for
the same amount of work.

PEACEFULLY SETTLED.

PRATT, Kan. March 2.-The election
held yesterday on the proposition of re-
moval of the county seat from Iuka to
Pratt City resulted in a majority of ], l57
in favor of the removal. This election
ends the most bitterly contested county
seat war ever known in western Kansas.
The conflict had been going on for over
nine years and during that time the county
records have been moved back and forth
between Pratt and Iuka.
AT one time men on each side were
armed with Winchester rifles and civil
war was imminent. The contest was
fought through the courts till last Deem
Der when the supreme court dismissed the
cases. Petitions were again circulated to
call new election and the people, feeling
anxious to end the long contest signed
them and the election yesterday resulted
in an over whelming victory for Pratt.
No further troubles are anticipated.
