American Gunboats Sent to Lisbon for

American Gunboats Sent to Lisbon for
Business.
New YORK, December 27th.-The Sun
this evening asserts that the American
gunboats sent to Portuguese waters are
there for business; that they are under in
sfructions which are the result of diplo-
matte correspondence between Secretary
Blaine and the Portuguese GovernmeLt
concerning the claims of Colonel McMurdo
of Connecticut, the fnancier who hoated
the Delagoa Railroad scheme.
The San also says the feet originally was
destined for France, but changed its desti-
nation owing to this controversy. 1t also
says the ordering Of British ironclads from
Malta to Lisbon is the result of correspond
ence between Blaine and Salisbury, the
former having assured Salisbury the United
States would side with England in order to
protect such interests as are common to
citizens of both countries.
The Sun says: 1t may appear strange
that Blaine has thought it necessary to
communicate so promptly with Salisbury
before any decisive attempt to come to a
satisfactory agreement with Portugal il
made, but the Secretary OF State took this
step because the interests of McMurdo and
his heirs are at present almost inseparably
associated with those of English bondhold.

An Organ Grinder Has a Row With His
Monkey.
KANSAS CITY, December 27th.-For some
time past Giuseppe CAIRO has been reaping
q harvest in this city and the neighboring
villages through the combined perform
ances of large ape and the melodious
strains of hand organ. The ape was about
three feet high, ard was remarkably well
trained, never failihg to draw crowd by
his antics. For several days CAIRO noticed
that the animal was inclined 10 be sulky
and did his work badly, and yesterday he
concluded to punish the animal and try TO
force him cut of his sulky fit. He had
been accustomed to whip the ape for minor
offenses, but always took the precaution to
tie him up before beginning the castiga-
ton. When he began to make prepara
tions to whip his pet the animal appeared
to realize what was coming, but instead OF
submitting quietly to the whipping he flew
at his master, and a terrible struggle en-
sued, which was only ended by the Span
lard being compelled to use his knife and
kill the animal. Caro- was so badly torn
that he was taken to the hospital. The
ape tried to get at his throat, and bit and
tore his master until he was covered with
blood from head to feet and his clothes
hung in shreds. Garro's left arm, which
was used to shield his throat, was bitten so
badly that it will doubtless have to be am
putated.

Southern Democrats Out and Out Pro-
tectionists.
WASHINGTON, December 27th.-The hear
ing before the House Ways and Means
Committee was continued to-day, Henry
Oliver of Pittsburg and Archie Campbell of
Wheeling talking on the metal schedule.
Judge Bowling of Virginia also made an
argument in favor of the protection of iron
ore. He thought the matter of protection
to the industries of Virginia became one of
the most important features in the de-
termination of the race question. Farming
did not pay in Virginia, and other labor
must be supplied TO the negro. Protection
was source of strength to the people of
the South in endeavoring TO make better
citizens of the negro.
Several other coal operators argued against
the reduction of duty on coal.
General Imbodep, of Virginia, speaking
for the South, favored a retention of the
duty on coal and iron ore. He contended
that the coal and iron and railroad indus
try in the South would be imperiled if coal
was placed on the free list. The men who
worked in the mines in the South are prin.
cipaily negroes. These people had to be
provided with work. If they did not re-
ceive work they would live on the whites
dishonesty. The negro would not steal if
he could get work. He (Imboden) was a
proteotionist. He always had been one,
and believed that if in the South there
could be square end fair vote on the pro-
lection issue, without any extraneous
issues, the protection issues and protection
lists would overwhelmingly carry at least
four or i've Southern States The North
had been made rich by protection. 1t was
now the opportunity of the South to be-
come rich. If anybody was to be protected,
he would rather make an American rich
than Hungarian, Italian or Belgian.
Flower, of New York, inquired in refer
erce to the remark as 10 elections in the
South, whether Mr.. Imboden meant that
the color line had to be drawn and that the
gentleman had to vote against his sent1-
ments.
General Imboden replied 1--WE are COM
PEELED to stand together there under certain
conditions, when the tariff sinks into insig-
nificance. On the question of protection 1
am Republican. On local questions 1 am

Thousands of Coal Miners Thrown Out

Thousands of Coal Miners Thrown Out
of Employment in 1Iidwinter.
SCRANTON pa, December 27th.-Fol-
lowing the announcement yesterday that
the Pennsylvania Coal Company had closed
down eleven of its fourteen collieries, and
the Delaware and Western Company six
of its mines, to-day comes the news that
the Hillside Coal and Iron Company, work
ing the Erie railroad mines of Forest City,
the German and Pleasant Valley, with
nearly 5000 workmen, also shut down.
Individual operators all through the val
ley, who are unable to secure cars, have
also ordered a shutdown until the trade
conditions have improved. These individ-
ual collieries number a dozen or more and
will average 250 men and boys each.
The announcement is also made that the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company
will at the end of the week shut down fif-
teen of its collieries. About half of 1t op-
crates between Carbondale and Plymouth.
The closing of the company works and
individual mines will cause the idleness of
upward of $4,000 men and boys, and this
is quite likely to be added to by large
number of workmen, who will be thrown
out of employment by the shutting down
of mines of the Wilkesbarre and Susque-
hanna Coal Companies in the Wyoming re-
giOn,

band has received many honors, Georgia,
the State in which we found friends and a

nessee, and last, not least, the State which
now gives him sepulcher, amid the tears
and plaudits of the people, Louisiana; all
these have put forth claims so strong that
cannot choose among them, and have de-
cided to wait perhaps years before making
selection. To rest in the same soil with
your immortal heroes, General Robert Z.
Lee and Stonewall Jackson, is a privilege
fully appreciated, and l should be the last
to undervalue the honor; but when final
decision must be made, it cannot be un-
mindful of the rights of those who have
done me the honor to claim the custody of
my dead, and beg you TO have patience
with me for a season.

ST. PAUL December 27th.-This city was
the scene this morning OF an event of more
than ordinary interest to churckmen in the

land, assisted by the Most Reverend Thomas
L. Grace.
The priests on whom the mitre was con-
ferred were Rev. John Stanley, of st. Paul;
Rev. James McColrick, Minneapolis, and
Rev. Joseph B. Cotter, of Winona.
The papal briefs, which were read by the
resident Bishops notary in full, were read
first in Latin and then in English, and ap-
pointed Bishop Stanley to the See of North
Dakota, while Bishop McColrick goes to
the Diocese of Duluth and Bishop Cotter
will have charge of the Diocese of Wincna.
The doors of ST. Peters Cathedral were

edifice. Sixteen Bishops were in the pro-
cession, in the ranks of which figured
nearly 500 priests. 1t was a superb, i'm
pressive spectacle.

WASHINGTON, December 27th.-The ques-
ton of serving wine New Years Day is
agitating the good ladies of the Administra-
ton, and the precedent they set will doubt
less have a wide influence upon other peo-
pie who will entertain during the winter.
There has been no formal action in the
matter by the ladies of the Cabinet, but
they talked over the question at the lcnch-
con Mrs. Blaine gave the other day, and all
OF them were decidedly in favor of more
hospitality and less display.
No wine will be served at the Cabinet re-
ceptions, unless il be by Mrs. Wilmerding,
the daughter of the Secretary of the Navy,
who presides over her fathers household.
of course, there will be none at the White

refreshments there, and Mrs. Harrison
would not have it If it were.

Influenza in New York.

New YORK, December 27th.-The num-
Der OF persons in New York and Brooklyn
suffering from influenza is very large and
constantly increasing. While there are no
instances Of death due directly to influenza,
there has been reported anumber of deaths
from pneumonia, which has increased so
remarkably as to indicate some connection
between the epidemic of the so-called infiu-
enza and pneumonia. There is hardly a
business house or office down town whose
force of clerks has not been shortened more
or less BY ''Lagrippe."
The same state of affairs exists in Brook

WAsHISGToN, December 27th.-The Ma
tional Guard Association of the United
States has called a convention to meet in
this city February 9th. The call for the
meeting says each STATE is entitled to be
represented by five officers or ex-officers of

With this aim in view, statistics are pre-
sented from each State showing the service
performed by the National Guard for the
good of society, with the number killed

HIGH RATES RULING.
Stringency of the New York Money
Market-Advancing Rates.

Market-Advancing Rates.
New YORK, December 27tn.-The contin-
ued stringency in money became more
marked to-day, and from the opening of
the Stock Exchange the loaning rates ruled
at high figures. In the first half hour
loans were renewed at 0 per cent, and the
first loan of money on call was made at 10
per cent The rate quickly moved up to
IL, then to IS, 90 25 and 30, and it was
stated that some loans were privately made
at about 80. The prices fell back to 20,
and large amount was required at that
figure. The prices of stocks were well sus-
tanned in the face of the stringent money
market, and some Of the speclalties made
slight advances.
Higher rates for money caused further
reduction in rates for sterling exchange,
which are now down to about the gold i'm
porting price. and the probability that q
continuance Of the high rates for money
for even DAY or two would correct itself
by bringing imports of gold was a source oil
encouragement to the holders Of stocks.
