MINOR NOTES.
Offers Of BOndS-The Trust Investigation
Presidential Plans for Decoration Day.

WASHINGTON, April 26-The offers of
bods to the government today aggregated
1922, ~ and the acceptance was $751; $50,
All the accepted bonds were tours and the
price ranged from IDS to 12G.
The collection from internal revenue
during the first nine months of the fiscal
year ended June 3, 1888, aggregated $50
$780, 5S an increase of $3.50, 753 over the
corresponding period of the last fiscal
year.
The president will go to New York
decoration day and take part in the
memorial exercises of the G. A r.
The committee on the transportation
for New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland and the District of Columbia,
appointed by the National Educational as
ISOLATION for the purpose of selecting a
line of travel for the teachers and their
friends who will attend the next meeting
of the association at San Francisco, July
Il next, have decided upon the Chicago <
Northwestern, Union and Central Pacific
routes.
In the trust investigation today John
Swartz and Frank L. Woods, of Pennsyl-
vanl4, testified to having heard that the
Pennsylvania railroad had allowed lower
rates TO shippers than to themselves. They
thereupon presented claims of rebates to
their shipments of oil was returned to
them.
State Senator Lewis Emery, of Brad
ford, corroborated the statement made
yesterday by Mr.. Campbell to the effect
that practically all the independent re
timers had been wiped out between 1872
and 1879 by reason of the rebates given the
Standard and its predecessor, the South
Improvement company, by the railroads,
and by other mears-they were simply
-deviled to death. a computation made
by the witness showed that the
Standard had received over $4,000. 600 in
rebates in seven and one-half mont his from
the four principal railroads leading from
the oil fields The amount of rebates
given the Standard he certainly thought
amounted in the aggregate to over Sl0O.-
100000 and had the railroads treated all
shippers alike il was his belief that thew
would now be in receipts of an annual in
come of from Sl5,00O,000 TO S20,ooO. 900
greater than they received at present.

certain to come As the matter now stands
they will hardly ever be REIN

Brigham, stationed in Paso del Norte dur
ing the Cutting excitement, but now
United States consul at Kingston, Jamai-
ca He Endorsed one of Cuttings notes,
which afterward went to protest. Another
person losing heavily is Judge w. q. Lane,
formerly of New Orleans and now agent
of the Louisiana State Lottery in FL Paso.
He actively befriended Cutting after the
latter got out of his Mexican dungeon, and
readily advanced money for various

trl railroad office named Turner. This
enterprise ended in complete failure, and
then Cutting told Turner if he would start
him once more in the newspaper business
he would make money and fame enough
for both. Turner bought for him a print
ing outfit. on which for a few months
the FL Paso Daily Bulletin was printed,
and when It stopped for want of
patronage Cutting removed the material
across the river and sold half of it to the
son-in-law of prominent banker and
politician, with whom he commenced the
publication of. the Continent, half Spanish
and half English. An article on the
English side violently abusing a rival
editor In Paso DE Norte and Cuttings
arrest brought on the i'm
broglio. The Continent still appears as
an ultra-administration organ. Clerk
Turner removed to San Diego, Cal, con-
siderably out of pocket.

ANATROClOuS DEED.

BELvIDERE, Kan, April 26--The murder
of. Dr. w e. Ashley and Eugene Grove, of
this place, in the Indian Territory has been
confirmed.
They hired team and buggy to go to
the nation on hunting and prospecting
tour. When a few miles below Englewood
in the Indian Territory they were met by
vigilantes who called Grove to their camp
and without warning or ceremony hanged
him to Sapling 80.
Ashley drew his Winchester and opened
fire. but they murdered him at once, fifteen
balls piercing his body.
The victims had two women companions
and what has become of the remains OF the
murdered men or the unfortunate females
ran not be con jectured. Sheriff Oleson
has returned from the scene and says he
can not find any trace of the people nor
the team.
This is the most atrocious deed inflicted
in a country where crime has full sway
The vigilants are, in most cases, worse
than those whom they seek to kill.

CHICAGO, April 26.-An explosion that
pitched seventy people into the air, throw

clothing. damaged building to the
amount of SIS, 100 and cansed the stampede
of hundreds of people from upper stories
of tall buildings, occurred in a basement
at State and Jackson streets this evening.
Queer enough, no one was killed, al
though two or three may be fatally in

across the street from the basement to
make a conduit for electric light wires and
accidentally punctured gas main. They

clothing was mixed up in almost inextrica-
BILE mass with broken timbers and
falling plaster, while people for blocks
around thought an earthquake had occurr-
ed and rushed to the scene. The fire was
quickly extinguished by the department.
Two workmen in the basement were very
badly injured and three or four clerks IN
the store above were injured. One of them,
George Dunlap, when the explosion oc-

WASHINGTON, April 81 The senate
committee on military affairs has reported
favorably upon the bill authorizing the
sale of tract of land in the military res
ervation at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, to
The Leaveuworth City and Fort Leaven-
worth Water company. The land covered

poses The tract is desired by the water
company for additional settling basins,

THE BREWERS, LOCKOUT.

NEW YORK, April 26.-The state board
of meditation and arbitration met here to-
day and began an investigation, into the
brewers lockout The bosses denied that
the board had power to investigate their
private affairs. declaring that there was
no lockout or trouble between themselves
end their present employees. The board
decided otherwise, and the bosses submit
ted under protest.
Louis Herbrandt, secretary of the
National Brewers union, and editor of the
Brewers Zeitung. was examined on behalf
OF the locked-out employees, and was still
on the stand when the hearing adjourned.
He charged the bosses with cruelty and
bad faith, first compelling the men to join
the union under their threats of discharge
and then locking them out because they re-
fused to leave the union. His croSS-eXamina-
ton was SO conducted as to show that the
trouble grew out of boycott on nOn-union
malt at Milwaukee; that the agreement
with the men here had no reference to un-
ion or non-union malt Counsel for the
bosses said they wanted to get rid of union
brewers for the reason that they were an
archists Witness admitted that he some
times published Herr Most's speeches in his
paper.

Effects Of Tip Receiving.

No man or woman can regularly indulge
In the practice of receiving tips from
strangers without becoming in spirit as
well as in fact beggar. II degrades the
receiver more than the giver, and it will
breed class in this country like the lower
classes of Europe. II is told of Senator
Thurman that when asked if he had met
Prince Bismarck he replied that he was
extremelysorry that he had not, because
he did want TO meet one person in Europe
who was not waiting for him to hand over
q shilling.
We laugh at that now, but we won't
laugh pretty soon, because il will be
equally applicable to this country. l ana
fully aware that people who think as l do
will not combine against the system, but
will weakly yield, and in the end It will be
az firmly rooted in Philadelphia as in Lon
don. The poor will not gain by it and
they viii lose immensely in self respect
II will create q class whom you may kick
if you are willing to pay for it; q class no
better than slaves; a cringing, sneaking
low lived class; a class that will disgrace
the name OF American citizen.-"Ob-

WASHINGTON, April 26-The committee
on ways and means agreed to the Brecken-
ridge resolution, calling on the secretary
for the following information:
First, what number Of persons in each
of the gainful occupations professional
and personal service, trade and transpQr-
tation, manufacturers, merchants, mining
and agricultural pwere engaged in branches
of which product of like kind could be i'm
ported from a foreign country i'll any
measure or quantity sufficient to call the
attention OF legislators, and what addition
number could be, in part or wholly sub
mitted to the competition from Canada.
Second, what number in each category
might be considered wholly free from
foreign competition
Third, what numbcr of persons might
be considered in some small measure sub
iect 70 foreign competition.
Fourth, the number of persons repre-
scented by the export of the products OF
agriculture, manufactures and mining to
be estimated upon the relation of the value
of the quantity of such or to the value or
quantity of the total products. In other
words, the number occupied in production
for export
The Republican members of the ways
and means committee met in the rooms Ut
the committee on banking and currency
for the purpose of hearing about dozen
persons representing manufacturing inter
ests and labor organizations The state
mentS of these persons, IN brief, were to
the effect that they desired to take
exception to the remarks made on
the floor of the house by the
friends of the Mills bill, that laborers and
manufacturers derive no benefit from the
present tariff law. They also ordered an
energetic protest against the action of the
WAYS and means committee in refusing to
hear from the representatives of the inter
ests which would be affected by the pas
sage of the pending bill.
In reaching decision in the California
contested election cases of Lynch VS.. Van
dever, the house elections committee held
and it is probable that this position will
be strongly set out in the report, that the
election officers acted improperly in re-
iecting the votes OF such persons
as attempted to register by aft
dayit after the expiration of
the time for registration fixed
in the published notice. 1t was held that
the registery officers acted outside of their
authority in limiting the time for regis
tration to other time than that fixed by
the state law and the affidavit of those
persons who failed 10 register in the APP
pointed time, although presented and col
lected by persons not legally qualified,
should have been received and the persons
allowed to cast their votes. Those votes
rejected by the election officers were
counted by the house committee with the
result that they reduced Nandever's ma
jority to about thirty votes, but as this
was nol sufficient TO reverse the result the
committee declared it in favor of the
claims of Nandeyer

turned from San Francisco, denies that

manning.

ton, Ye Wan Yung, has been sick for
some time and recently took trip to New
York in the hope of regaining his health.
Not succeeding, he was allowed to tele-
graph home for temporary leave of abb
sence to visit Corea, which was granted.
He Apects soon to return and take up his
residence here. Dr. Allen declares that

MUST PAY FOR THEIR LUXURY.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Comptroller
Durham was disallowed portion of the
accounts of the committee of clerks who
went over to New York few weeks ago
to count the cash in the sub-treasury. One
of the items was for seats in parlor car
in the limited express train, at an addi-
tional cost of about S1.50 apiece. This
was brought tothe comptrolier's attention
and he at once sent foraan explanation of
the item. Answer was returned that the
committee had finished their work at IL
o'clock, and took the limited, as it would
bring them into the city before dark, and
that they thus saved time The comp
troller could not accept this excuse and
disallowed the expense. The clerks ap-
pealed to the secretary, but the comptroll-
er's decision was sustained, and the clerks
will have to pay for their luxury out of
their own pockets
