CHICAGO, Jan. ll.-Lawrence Carr. a
feeble old man from Sarine county, Ohio,
came to the central police station in great
trouble to-day. He was on his way to
Join his son in Los Angeles, CAL, and the
agent at Cleveland sold him a through
ticket. On his arrival here he was horri-
fed to learn that the ticket was via the
Northern Pacific and by boat down the
coast. Besides the fact hat he was not
fit for such a long and arduous journey,
he had not enough money to keep him in
food during the trip. The only motive
for the agent routing him SO is said to be
the commission paid by the Northern
Pacific. 1ho police went to the Lake
Shore road off cials with the old man and
they refunded all the money except the
fare from Cleveland here. He will not
endeavor to reach bis destination with
the remainder.

Think 1t a Good Plan.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE only impor-
ant Western lines not represented at the
New York meeting of railway presidents
and bankers were the Chicago & Alton
and the Illinois Central. Both President
Blackstone of the Illinois Central and
Vice President McMullen Of the Chicago
& Alton said to day they regarded tie
plan as a good one although they were not
quite ready to say they would sign it.
They were ready to maintain rates under
any scheme that may be proposed, but
the peculiar position which the Chicago &
Alton occupies by force of circumstance
on the question of paying commissions
may prevent it from endorsing the pro-
vision which prohibits the paying of com
missions. General Manager Jeffrey of
the Illinois Central approved of the plan
and said as his road had strictly obeyed
the provisions of the interstate law from
the time it became effective he was glad
to see other roads deciding to pursue the
same policy.

A DAY FOR DOCTORS.

His Father-in-Law.1
Fatal Quarrel Between Two
Physicians in Missouri.
Patsy Cardiff Willing to Meet
Jackson.
Or. Meyer Shot Dead.

HAvEY's POINT, Wis. Jan. Il.-Dr.
o. z. Meyer, aged "a, a well known ply
stefan OF this city, was shot and instantly
killed on the street this afternoon by
Phillip Griffith, his father-in-law. On
Dec. 10 the DOCTORS wife died from the
effects of a pistol shot which he claimed
was fired by her own hand. Circum-
stantial evidence warranted a coroner's
jury in not bringing in a verdict of sui
eide, but the deed was not charged to
n person. The parents and brother of
Mrs. Meyer stoutly maintain hat she did
not commit suicide and the father has
been endeavoring since to secur a war
rant for the doctors arrest, but without
avail. To days tragedy is the outcome
of the affair. WIN. Griffith, a brother-in-
law, was also arrested, be having quar-
relied and fought with the doctor a few
minutes before the killing.

LONDON, Jan. lL-Jem Smith, cham
pion of England called at the Sporting
Life office, to-day and issued a challenge
to fight Peter Jackson according to the
London prize ring rules for $500 or
Gl, 900 a side, the fight to take place in
four or six months from the signing of
the articles, Jackson to be allowed ESQ

ers are ready to accept this proposition
they can post a deposit with the Police
Gazette in New York or Sporting Life in
London. Smith Will allow jackson to
name the time o~ffghting and the AMOUNT

Feeding Coal to tho Ere.

The throwing of fuel upon the fire
is generally considered as a means of
~augmenting the amount of heat pro-
duced, and taken as a whole it does
have that effect. But for the main
tenance of a steady fire and an even
heat, only a small amount of fuel
should be thrown upon the fire at a
time. The reason for this is, that coal
is dependent upon two constituents
for its heat giving properties. One of
these, the carbonaceous, remains in a
solid state, while the other, the btu
minous, is volatilized. AS the latter
process must be accomplished before
the first will be ready for burning, the
first effect of throwing fuel upon the
fire is that of cooling. Not only must
the solid coal be raised to the furnace
temperature, but the volatilization
must be carried or. Here the same
laws come into play as in the evapora-
ton of water.
The evaporation and the volatili-
zation require more heat than that ac-
counted for in the elevation of tenn
perature, and which is therefore rem
dered latent. Hence unless care ia
taken to burn these gases as they are
given off, it would be better that they
ulu not exist. ror IL VIII De readily
understood that if the fire, which is
due to the combustion of solid carbons,
did not have TO heat these gases, ii
would give out just that same amount
of heat, that would be available for
steam making. 1t is due to this fact
that coke has been accredited with
greater heating properties than btu
minous coal simply because the gases in
the coal have been distilled and not
burned. But when the furnaces are
so designed that these gases are
thoroughly burned, the heating prop
critics Of the coal will be found to be
greater by just the amount Of heat
given out by the combustion of the
gases in excess of what was required
to distill lei .-American Journal of
Railway Appliances.

ANUI HER IULt UAT.
No Business Transacted by the
House Yesterday.
The Speakers Patience Tried
by Weaver.
An Evening Session, but Kill
gore Blocketh the Way.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l1.-Weaver of
Iowa at once moved when the house ad-
iourned it be tc Monday, After a count
proceeded half an hour elapsed without
q quorum making its appearance. Ran
dali demanded the yeas and nays and they
were ordered the motion having been de-
feated, yeas 2. nays 52S.
Weaver who. had voted in the negative,
moved the reconsideration. Randall
made a point that it was not in order to
move a reconsideration of a vote upon a
motion to aiourn to a certain day, The
point was sustained by the speaker.
Weaver then moved to take a recess till
1:30, but was again blocked by Randall
with a point of order. He held that the
motion was in the nature of business and
therefore not in order until the journal
was read. The speaker decided the point
we'll taken.
The journal was then read and Weaver
again began his dilatory motions. These
were finally interrupted by Dibbler, who
came forward with a conference report
upon the senate bill for the erection of a
public building at Milwaukee, which,
Notwithstanding Viewers protest. the
speaker ruled of higher privilege than a
motion to adjourn.
The report having been read and the
previous question demanded, Weaver
moved to adjourn. The speaker decided
that as the rules gave the conference re-
port precedence over the motion to adj
iourn the subsequent motion to adjourn
could not deprive it of precedence. This
ruling did not facilitate matters much, as
at 8 O'Clock the house had been so far
unable to reach a vote on the conference
report owing to the tactics of Weaver.
The speaker seems inclined to resort to
arbitrary measures to suppress the gentle
man from Iowas
At the evening session Weaver of Iowa
was not present when the house met, but
Kilgore of Texas was on hand to block
legislation by raising a point OF no quor-
um on the motion to go into committee
for the consideration of private pension
bills. The call of house continued until
$3.50 when the house adjourned till to-
morrow.

ST. PAUL, Jan. ia Pioneer Press
Victoria, B. c., special says: The Well
ington coal mine difficulty assumed a seri-
GUS aspect to-day. The miners held a
meeting last night and decided o to re
turn to work. A committee visited MIR.
Dunsmie yesterday aud he Gffered to take
back all except the ringleaders. Upon
receiving the information of their decision
this evening, he telegraphed Manager
Brydon to notify the miners to leave the
company's houses Immediately. The
notices will be served in the morning. As
some 300 men are affected, the evictions
can hardly be effected without trouble.
The general opinion Is that the men acted
hastily and have no real grievances and
that the trouble is the work of some pro
f%essional agitators who have nothing else
to do. The miners have been making
from So To So a day.

Affairs in Nyanza.

ZANZIBAR, Jan. l1.-Advices from the
interior state that in October Mwanga,
king of Uganda, plotted to destroy his
entire body guard, his intention being to
abandon them on the island in Lake
Nyanza, where they would starve todeath.
the kings intention, refused to enter the
canoes which were to convey them to the
island, and made an attack on Mwanga's
palace. The king fled to escape the fury
of the guards and his brother, Kiewewa,
was enthroned in his stead. Kiewewa
has appointed Christians to the principal
Offices. This enraged the Arabs, who
and replaced them with Mohammedans.
Arabs have burned the English and
French mission stations and killed many
convert to Christianity.
The mission boat Eleanor, IN which
some persons who had been converted by
the French missionaries were fleeing, was
struck by a h%ippopotamus and sank and
FIVE converts were drowned.
Many letters for Emin Bey and Henry
NJ. Stanley have been destroyed by the
burning of missionary stations. The mis-,
sionaries reached Usambyio with safety.
The Msalsla depot is safe. Mwanga, a
prisoner at Magu, has appealed to the
English missionaries for assistance. Arabs
have written to Missionary Mckay exult-
ing in their triumph and prophesying the
extinction of all mission stations in Cen.
tfal Africa in revenge for England's anti
slavery policy. They have proclaimed
Uganda a Mohammedan kingdom.

Wise Cows.

In general, cows are supposed to be
rather wanting in intelligence. Else
why do they invariably cross the road
in front of a passing carriage2 But
The Pail Mall Gazette cites an instance
of what looks like genuine bovine
sagacity and atrue neighborly feeling:
The other morning, a very sultry
one, w o cows came to Jul gate, evi-
IDENTIFY on the lookout for something,
and after being at first somewhat
puzzled by their pleading looks, 1 be-
thought myself that they might be in
want of water. No sooner had this
idea occurred to me than l had some
water brought in q large vessel, which
the poor animals at me sucked up
with the greatest eagerness. The pair
then sauntered contentedly away TO a
field near at hand.
In about an hour or SO we were sur
prised and not a little amused by see
ing our two friends marching up to
the gate, accompanied by three other
cows.
The water tap was again called into
rcquiSition, and the new corners were
in like manner helped literally. Then,
with gratified and repeated ''boo-oos"
"a unanimous vote of thankS-our
visitors slowly marched off to their
p~asturage.
1t was quite clear to us that the two
first callers, pleased with their friendly
reception, had strolled down to their
sister gossips and dairy companions,
and had informed them-how, / can
not say, n you2-of their liberal en-
tertainment, and then had taken the
~pardonable liberty of inviting them
up TO our cottage.

German Oppression.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ll.-Consul Gen
eral Sewall of Samoa, who has been home
for several months, appeared before the
senate committee on foreign affairs and
relations. Gen. Sewall was examined in
secret at great length, and Is reported to
have expressed the belief that the next
mail will bring news of further and more
terrible conflicts between Germans and
natives; that the shedding of blood since
he left Samoa had radically changed the
situation, and that il it were not intended
to Weld to Germany the entire control of
the islands some decided action would
have to be taken by the powers. He pre-
scented to the committee copies of the
Samoan Times, publiihed at Apia, con-
tanning accounts of an vnprovoked and
unexpected attack by German war ships
upon natives. and OF a meeting by eonsuls
of other nations denounciDg the act; also
the misleading and unfair statement by
the German consul.
Gen. Sewal spoke of the studied and
systematic efforts of Germans in sending
news from Berlin concerning Samoa,
to give the impression that America was
the aggressor in every cause OF trouble.
German oppression is said to be entirely
responsible for any apparent division of
the natives into hostile factions. He de-
scribed Amasases followers as compare
lively a handful who were threatened by
an unpleasant dilemma. If they filled
to keep up the agitation against the native
government they feared death at the
hands of their German allies. If they
escaped, the same fate awaited them at
