were left alone in the house, while the rest Of
the family went to neighbor's The negress
attacked the girl and tied her, hand and foot

WHITE CAPS AT AURORA.
Coal Dealers Warned that They Must
Stop Giving Short Weight.

AURORA, LIS, Dec. ls.-The white caps have
opened a correspondence bureau in Aurora,
and the newspapers and coal-dealers have thus
far a monopoly Of the communications. Alder
man Jungles received a letter which ordered
him TO stop giving short weight on coal under
penalty of receiving a visit from the white
caps of Local Branch 22. The letter WAS
adorned with red-ink representations Of skull
and crossbones, white caps and snakes. Other
coal-dealers have received similar communi-
cations. Coal is selling for S6.75 a ton, an
important drop, the result OF strong compe-
tition, and the letters allege that the difference
in prices is more than made up by the shortage
in wei ght and insist that il must cease or the
.'black snake" will be employed to enforce the
demands.
Editor Burton, of the Daily Erlsess, has also
been warned to stop publishing articles deros-
atory to the cause of the Burlington strikers.

SPIRITS coUNTERAcTIYa SPIRITUAL WORK IN
AFRICA.
Senator Blair, this morning, presented a me-
mortal from the New Hampshire Baptist state
convention, calling the attention of Congress
to the destructive results of the Introduction of
intoxicating liquors among the inhabitants of
the west coast of Africa. and especially in the
Congo Free State. The memorial states that
large quantity of these liquors have been ex-
ported from the United States. and while the
Christian people of this country, of nearly all
denominations, are engaged in earnest efforts
to civiliZe and Christianize these untutored
Africans, they find their best endeavors him
dered and defeated by the demoralizing infil-
ences of strong drink. which, they say, stands
as fearful barrier to all temporal, moral and
spiritual advancement. The liquor traffic is
said to be even more deadly in its influences
than was the slave trade, and the memorialists
pray Congress to exercise its constitutional
power and to suppress the importation to the
continent of Africa of all intoxicating liquors.
foreign relations.
TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
Through Senator Blair, the Ladies' Art asso-
citation of New York, by memorial presented
to-day, urged upon Congress the necessity of
continuing the work begun by J. Schaenhof,
U. $. consul at Tunstal England, on technical
education in Europe, az a most valuable ele-
ment in the development of the manufactures
of this country.

DISTRICT LEGISLATION.
A Poor Prospect for Passage Of Inn.
pOrtant Local Bills This Session.
MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE DISTRICT COMMITTEE
FAVOR THE PASSAGE OF THE ROCK CREEK PARK

EXTENSIONS, CoDIFIcATIoN OF LAWS, ETC.

FAVOR THE PASSAGE OF THE ROCK CREEK PARK
BILL, THE BILLS FOR HIGH LICENSE, STREET
EXTENSIONS copFIcATIoN OF LAWS, ETC.
MIR. Hemphill, the chairman of the House
District committee, is very uncertain about
the prospects for District legislation this ses-
sion. He expects to pass the two bills re-
ported favorably. from the committee after
last meeting, which regulate the pawnbroker's
business in the District and provide for the
return of certain excessive special improve
ment taxes. There are several important
measures they would like to pass but it is a
question whether they will be able to do so.
Mr.. Hemphill said this morning that he thought
the Rock creek park bill and the bill for the
regular extension of streets ought to be passed
this session, and he would make an effort to
accomplish it.
MR.. RowELLs VIEWS.
Mr.. Rowel expresses doubt about the ability
Of the committee to do much in the few re-
naming months of this session, as the bills
they most desire to pass are too important to
get through easily. These bills must be passed
sooner or later, and he thinks the sooner the
better. He is especially anxious to pass the
bill for codification of the laws, and a bill to
regulate liquor licenses. His idea on the latter
subject is that the time has come
FOR HIGH LICENSE IN WASHINGTON.
He said to STAR reporter this morning that
he thought license of 5000 ought to be
charged for saloons, and that in addition bonds
should be required. II such bill is not passed
this winter. he thinks there is no doubt about
the action of the next House. The Rock creek
park bill and the bill for the extension of the
streets are in his charge, and he is anxious to
pass these bills this session, but is doubtful
of their ability to do so. They. too he thinks,
will go over for the next House, where they will
receive better treatment. Several amendments
to
THE STREET-EXTENSION BILL
have been suggested to him, but none have
met with his approval. The plan he has in
mind is to extend the streets on the map, make
it illegal for any streets to be laid out or any
plating to be done contrary to the general
plan of the city, and to make all streets, as
soon as laid out, the property of the city. He
would then let the property-holders them
selves open up the streets, or, rather, dedicate
them, the city to do all the work Of surveying,
grading &c

of rest. He has been distressed for the last
few months by huskiness Of voice and has great
hopes of recovering its complete use in the

this respect he differs from a vast majority of

that if divorce is permitted the husband and
wife should be placed on precisely the same
footing.
