WASHINGTON, D. c., February 16-A COM
mittee from the commerce interests were be-
fore the senate committee on commerce to-
day to advocate the improvement of the
water way between Lake Michigan and the
Mississippi. Their request in brief is for
the purpose of improving and maintaining q
continuous depth of water between Lake
Michigan and the Mississippi, suitable
for the free passage of the largest Missis-
sippi river steamers and for the passag
of suitable naval vessels for defense il
time of war, and to furnish navigable wal
not less than 160 feet in width and not lesi
than IA feet in depth, and also that chan.
mel be surveyed and located from Lockpott
north to Chicago of 160 feet in width and
not less than % feet in depth capable of
carrying not less than six hundred
thousand cubic feet of water per min
ute flowing a rate of twenty miles an
hour they propose that the city of Chicago,
in view of the improved drainage it would
afford for city sewerage, pay proportion
ately. Judge Hurd and Judge Sharey rep
resented the defenceless condition of lake
cities, setting forth the fact that England,
for military reasons, had been deepening
her canal system to twenty -four feet, so as
to enable her to draw the largest gunboats
into the lakes.

TescOtt the Man.

CHICAGO, ILL, February 18.-The man
who assisted the murderer of Millionaire
Smell by standing watch outside while the
residence was being robbed, is behind pris-
on bars. The arrest was made to-day, and
the police have already secured full con-
fession from the prisoner. It confirms be-
yond doubt the statement that the murder
or is young William B. Tascott, son of Colonel
J. B. Tascott, the wealthy manufacturer.
The man arrested to-day made Tascott's ac-
quaintance this winter in the Garden City
billiard hall, on West Madison street, and
for several weeks they have been together
every day. The morning that Mr.. SMELLS
house was to be robbed he and Tas-
colt went to the house together.
Tascott went inside, leaving his
comrade on the sidewalk. After the muir
der was committed Tascott hurried out,
grasped his companion by the arm and to-
gether they went to Tascott's lodgings on
several hours. Tascott told all, and the 9th
er was 80 Mortified and afraid that he would
be charged with the murder itself that he re-
Trained from giving information to the
police. He made sworn statement to-day
and satisfied the police that he was telling
the truth. The police refused to reveal the
name of the prisoner.

THE MErR0PoLrrAN BANK.

Ruined by Making Loans Upon Insum-
Client Collateral.
CmmMATI, O., February 18.-Mr. Sam
ders, government bank examiner, has at last
broken silence upon the situation at the
Metropolitan National bank. He saws in
effect that the bank was ruined by it's own
policy of making loans upon insuf6cient
collateral, and he verifies the statement
made some time ago in these dispatches Chat
even if the arrest of Vice President De Camp
had not been made the bank would have
been compelled to suspend, for the tele-
graphic orders received the day before the
suspension were more than enough to have
swallowed up all the money that could have
been obtained from the banks of Cincinnati.
The examiner says that President Means
has paid all his personal Indebtedness, but
there is still largo claim against him as
trustee for money loaned to a syndicate
engaged in different enterprises. This
has not been settled. Mr.. Sanders
does not consent to make q state-
ment of the banks condition, but does saw
that the best paper of the bank was giveh TO
the Cincinnati banks for the lone made lust
before the suspension, and that therefore il
cannot now be told how much may be real
lied for the stockholders. Mr.. George
Gerke has taken up a portion of the paper.
Mr.. e. N. Roth is understood to be making
to meet hi sindebtedness
All this money is deposited by
the receiver In the sub treasury.

FoRT WORTH, Tex, February 1.-THE
posse on the trail of the bank robbers over
took them yesterday near Putnam and rode
In sight of them for four or five miles, but
could not crowd them, as the robbers all had
Winchester rifles and the arms of the posse
consisted of pistols and shotguns. The rob-
bers beckoned to them several times tolride
up, and at one time, when within about $50
yards, member shot at them with his pis-
tol, but they did not return the fire. They
rode at least forty miles by dark and it was
no trouble to track them through the snow.
The First National bank of Albany, Texas,
offers $500 reward for the capture of the
robbers dead or alive (prefer them dead).
In all a reward of $500 to $1,000 will be
offered. 1t was reported late last night that
the robbers had been surrounded at Battle
Creek, between Putnam and Cottonwood,
this county. One hundred and fifty men
had the thicket in which the robbers were
hiding under guard, though the recent
heavy sleet is melting and creating heavy

The G.. A. r. Pension Bill.

CHICAGO, ILL, February 17.-John P. Rea,
commander-in-chie of the G. A. R., was
asked to- day about the probable passage of
the grand army pension bill and its appro-
val by the president. He said: II had a
conversation with Mr.. Cleveland about Jan
oary IS regarding the pension matter. I
told him why I thought our bill ought
to pass. His views on pension questions
satisfied me entierly, and I have the inn
preston that when our bill is laid before
him he will approve it. You understand,
though, that he made no promises whatever.
1 think the majority of the soldiers
who will be benefited by this bill
are men who fought throughout the
war-men who had the sand to stand up un-
der every hardship. and who, if they did feel
sick and worn out, were kept at their posts
by q strong sense of duty.
They were men whose constitu-
tons were broken while they were
discounting the future. Such men are now
suffering disabilities directly traceable to
this war. Though they have no hospital
record they ought to be helped.

Horse Trading Causes a shooting.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, February 18.-This
morning young man from Fourch +. wn-
ship, this county, traded horses with Frank
Corbitt, and started for his home. On the
way he met Jake Dupee, q friend, who told
him that he had been cheated. He came
back to the city, and going to Corbitt de-
manded that the trade be called of. Cor
bitt replied that he did not make
''child's trades" and refused to COM
ply, and Dupee took up for the young
man and quarrel ensued. Those present
say Dupee stepped back several steps and
invited Corbitt to follow, which he did. Du-
pee then drew a revolver and commanded

coming out at the other side of his neck.
Dupee immediately surrendered himself to
the sheriff and was carried before Justice
Reigler, where he was admitted to bail in

some ground near the city, the spade of one
struck some hard substance. On pulling it
out a horrible stencil animated therefrom.
They began close Investigation and were
Mortified to find the body of man sitting
in an almost upright position, but decom-
position had disfgured the remains 80 badly
that it could not be told whether he was an
American or Mexican. A theory prevails
here that the body is that of Kornel Brown,
gardener, who mysteriously disappeared
some months ago, and his whereabouts are
shrouded in the darkest mystery. The au-
thorities will give the matter proper investi-
cation.

PHuADxLPmA, February 17.-There was
further testimony of witnesses before the
congressional committee to investigate the
Heading strike. Ex-President Charles 3.
smith: OF the Reading company was the
drst witness. Mr.. Smith said that he had
been president of the Reading road from
1861 to 1853, and q director until 1876 He
resigned the dictatorship because he discov-
cred IN 1876, after an investigation, that the
company was publishing false reports and
oook1ng up its accounts in the interest of
stock gambling. In the reports the truth
was suppressed; the floating debt was not
reported. While the road was not earning
any money 1t was paying dividends on its
STOCK which was accomplished by borrow
ing money. Some of the directors were
gambling in the stock. The company, he
found, had borrowed $15,OO0,OO0 to pay
dividends which had not yet been earned.
MI. smith said that the railroad company
was managing the Coal il Iron company at
the same time. de said the latter was
virtually the creature of the former under
the presidency of Mr.. GoWen. Mr.. Smith
said, IN answer to a question, that
the road would go into receivers hands
IN less than year; that none Of
the bonds except the very early ones
we're worth q dollar OF the hundred.
Mr.. Corbin was than brought on the stand,
and IN the course of the questioning grew
very angry and denied the right of the
committee to go into the private business
OF the road, such as he considered its
financial standing to be, saying: 81 wish the
committee to understand that am ready to
furnish any information that can in reason
be expected to, but don't acknowledge the
right of the public to know the particulars
of the financial. condition of the Reading com
pany." Thomas M. Richards. general sales
agent was q witness, and his testimony
the information was elected that the price
of coal had increased in Philadelphia since
The next witness before the committee was
George w. Jones, former vice president
of the company. He stated that in
his opinion that the connection of
the Reading railroad with the coal compa-
MES was responsible for it's wrecking, and
he stated that, Notwithstanding the testimo-
ny before the committee, he was of the belief
that there was combination for restricting
the output of coal.

Early Opening of Lake Navigation.

DULUTH, MINI, February 1.-THE recent
thawing spells and to- days hot sun have had
perceptible effect on the ice in the lake and
bay. It is showing signs of honeycombing,
and boatmen and vessel captains expect the
opening will be early. There is now an un-
usual amount of ice on the lake, but it is COW
cred by much greater depth of snow than
usual, and in the country draining into the
lake there is great depth of snow. in some
localities it being fully five feet deep on
level, which will have tendency to sink and
rot the ice quickly. If warm weather comes
early, as many now believe, Lake Superior
will be open for navigation ten or fifteen
days before the LIST of May.

Anti-saloon Republicans.

New YORK, February 18.-The anti saloon
republicans national committee have issued
call for anational conference to be held
in this city on April Is and 10 next. Its
signalize the complete withdrawal of the
national republican party from all completely
witty the saloon infamy and to emphasize its
positive antagonism thereto" The call,
among other things, says; 'The anti
saloon republican movement has now
reached magnitude and momentum
which nothing can Withstand. It no longer
compliance. Its purpose is to place the
republican party where it belongs; positively
and finally on the side of the home, and the
public safety as against the saloon system
and its destructive work. This task is be-
ing accomplished more promptly than
even the sanguine expected. In nearly
every state under republican control
where saloons have not already been abol-
ished or outlawed, stringent repressive laws
the unmistakable demand of the people.
Everywhere the best public opin-
ion is reaching the conclusion that
the saloon system is incurably and
intolerably bad and must be put out of ex-
istence. Wherever these laws, prohibitive
or restrictive, have been enacted, they have
wrought complete and permanent divorce
the saloon. With local exceptions,
which only prove the rule, the
saloon vote has gone over bodily to the
democratic side. 1t now remains for the
republican party formally to recognize and
act upon this most welcome event, to burn
every remaining bridge between itself and
the liquor interest, to announce, authentic
ally, its relentless hostility to the saloon
scOurge and its purpose to make that hostil-
ity felt. There is nothing more to be lost;
there is everything, including honor, to be
gained"
