Investigations by the governor of Wis
consin She found the detective,
James Fielding, who was said to have
made a tour through Northern WiscOn-
sin. He admitted that he only went to
one den, that of Mike Leahy, at Mari
nette, and his statements concerning
this place were so untrue that DIR.
Bushnell does not believe he even went
there. DR.. Bushnell believes that in
the matter of dens such as described,
Wisconsin is the most Infamous state III
the Union. All over the northern part
of the state there are so-called hospitals,
Ostensibiy for lumbermen, but in re-
ality for the treatment of vile diseases.
DR.. Bushnell found a man who had
been manager of eleven OF these So
called hospitals.
Up in a house at Ashland W. IL.
Griffin emptied a can of kerosene upon
the person of a young girl and set fire to
her. Burned to death by w. ii. Grlf-
tin,'' was the coroner's verdict. The
case was never prosecuted, because the
prosecuting attorney refused to 40 so.
Whenever things grew too hot and min.
listers and others insisted upon RAID

notified. They sold their female in

At the conclusion of her lecture DIR.

to be the most remarkable session in the
history of the state. Aside from the
organization of the two houses, which
will be of exceptional interest, because
of the nearly equal division of the men,
bership between the two great parties,
there will be the sharpest kind OF
struggle over the election of United
States senator, and also the settlement
of the contest for governor between
Judge Fleming and Gen. con,
while. outside and beyond all
this, the Republicans are threatening
in retaliation for the contest brought by
Judge Fleming, to institute like pro-
ceedings III the cases of all the other
state officers and dispute the election OF
every one of the democratic officers
elect, including the members of the su-
preme court. A gentleman direct from
Charleston says the prominent party
leaders of both sides are on hand to as
sist their friends in the organization
of the legislature and the settlement
OF the gubernatorial question. The
whips of each side have notified
their people that no absenteeism must
occur, as there is too much at stake.
The movements and result will be
watched with the deepest interest in
Washington.

BAD MEXICAN JOURNALISTS.
Newspaper Men From Greaserdom
Prove to BE InpostOrs.

LAREDO, Tex, Jan. "a Memphis
dispatch published this morning. re-
ferring to three young Mexican jour-
naliSts. caused a sensation in official
and newspaper circles in the two La
redos. Mexican Consul Varias. of that
city, is of the opinion that they are not
Mexicans, but Spaniards or Cubans.
United States Consul Cisco, of Neuvo,
Laredo, Mexico, stated to-day that
about a month ago three young men
claiming to be FIori Marti, OF Ediaro
Espanol, Filippe L'Egnia, of La
Epoca. and Francisco de la Vega. of
The Monitor, City of Mexico,
secured an introduction to the
governor of Neuvo Leon, and from him
obtained strong letters of recommend
alton to Mayor Belden Of New Laredo
They claimed that they were starting
Oh tour for pleasure in the United
States and would write up the result of
their observations for their respective
papers. On the strength of their
splendid testimonials Consul Cisco
gave them letters of Introduction to the
Memphis Avalanche, the st. Louis
Republic, the Nashville American and
the Louisville Courier-Journal. 1t now
turns out that they are impostors and
leftmany unpaid bills in Monterey and
Nuevo Laredo. Consul Cisco has teIe-
graphed the newspapers to which he
gave letters of Introduction that the
young journalists are frauds.

THE ORIGINAL KNIGHTS.
Powderly and Others Repudiated
by knights Of 1869.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 6. The
following circular has been issued:
ITO the Members of the knights of
Labor-Greeting: In behalf of the toll
ing MILLIONS of the earth, we the surviy-
ing founders of the secret order of
Knights of Labor, have, after several
secret meetings held in the city of Phil
adelphia, and after due deliberatiOn
and investigation into the present auto
cratic form of government, found that
the present order of Knights of Labor
has departed or diverged from the orig
inal designs when organized in 1869 to
the destruction of the principal of self
government, lying at the base of Amer
lean institutions. AS the order of the
Knights of Labor was founded for the
purpose Of abolishing poverty by Sc
curing to the laborer the fruits of his
toll; and as we, the original founders
of the Knights of Labor, who handed
to the officers and the membership the
principles of the organization, have
found, after lapse OF nearly twenty
years, that the officers of the organiZa-
tlon have departed from the principles
transferred to them, and being deter
mined to return to the original text, we
GAtSuu tuE udtIu VI 1IdtclUitS ~ ttl
those who believe in the principles
formerly promulgated, to wit: Secrecy,
obedience, mutual assistance and the
placing OF industry on scientific basis.
We have resolved to eliminate all oppo-
sition detrimental to the principles and
progress of the Knights of Labor as
the founders intended. In making
this known through the public press
we do SO to notify those at a
distance, and this must be accepted
as reply to many letters received
Oh the subject. As in 1869, numbers for
assemblies will be given from Philadel-
phia. Pa. until a sufficient number have
been formed to call a joint convention
for the good of the order. Those desir-
ing to be with us will address Box S34,
Philadelphia, Pa. All communications
will receive prompt replies. ALI neces-
sary matter will be furnished to carry
on the needed work. In conclusion we
desire to say that, believing we are do
ing right IN issuing the foregoing, as we
did when promulgating the principles
Of the Knights of Labor nearly twenty
years ago, We have unitedly affixed our
names.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 6.-The Boston
schooner William Jones, which was
recently seized by Haytian man-of-
war while attempting to make landing
at Gonaives and subsequently released,
arrived here last evening. Capt. Col
Inns, in speaking of his experiences.
said: l was oyerhauled by the Tous-
saint at the platform oct. 20 and was
told that Gonaives was blockaded. L
asked if I could have communication
with the town but was refused that
privilege. l proceeded up the bay and
was dogged until daybreak by the man
of-war. In the morning he ran along
side and ordered me to heave to and
give him my hawSer, and L told hlm
that l had none. He then seizee
the vessel and put eleven men ABOARD
and ordered us to Port all Prince. we
had made about twenty knots when the
TouSsaint came alongside again ana
made fast to our windlasS towed us TO
port. We arrived at Port all Prince late
in the evening, and were compelled TO
stay there eighteen days awaiting the
action of the Haytian government. L
spent a large part of the time OF my de-
W ShNNo "
ment with the legal authorities. which
finally eliminated in their agreeing to
pay me $4,000 as an indemnity for de-
murrage. This offer finally accepted,
and payment was Immediately made III
American gold"
Capt. Collins says that he was well
treated by the authorities, and was
allowed his liberty. From what he
saw and heard the Northern insurgents
have the advantage i'll the contest.
Said he: 81 should not be surprised to
hear within short time that the South
ern army under Legitime had been
completely routed, and that its oppo--
nents, under Gen. Hippolyte, had
marched into Port au Prince and cap
tured the entire government. 1t is
fact that the people of Port au PRINCE
are really in sympathy with the North
ernerS, though they dare not make their
preference known for fear oil instant
death. The army of the North is by far
the better body of men, are better
equipped and clothed, and are armed
with the latest improved rifles"
Regarding the Haytian army he con
tinued: 1.-The strength of their army is
fixed by law at a MAXIMUM OF 6,Sss. m
Guiding officers and enlisted men,
though, of course, every negro will bear
arms upon occasion. The officers OF
this small army wear gorgeous French
uniform, while the priyates are notice
able principally for what they do not
wear"
:'How about the alleged blockade at
Port au Prince; does it exist i'll fact?'
was asked.
''Well. should say not. In the first
place the government does not control
vessels enough to form an efTectual
blockade. While we were detained at
that port vessels were coming in and
going out without being interfered with

MINNEAPOLIS ADJUSTMENTS.

AT the Pence last evening ''The Irish
Princess was given its first presenta-
ton in this city. The play is taken
from the well-known novel, A Princess
of Thule, and is fully as romantic and
interesting as the novel. The cast in
cluded the whole Pence company.
Frederick Book as Con O'Mary, the
legendary king, as usual, gave care
full and forcbie portrayal of his role.
The leading role of the Princess was
taken by Jessaline Rogers. Those
who are acquainted with the
character in the story found
an almost ideal reproduction on the
Pence stage last night. In look, dress
and act she was the beautiful, free lrish
lass who knew neither the conventions
of society nor its wiles and hypocrisy.
Mrs. Beebe as Mrs. Holcomb made a
hit; George Cadden as Hugh Holeomb,
Connolly as Capt. Ingram, Neil Sculiy
as Phadny and B. W. Wilson as Dennie
were all good. The ship scene was a
surprise. 1.-The Irish Princes" will run
until Thursday.
AT THE PEOPLES.
The version of that prehistoric drama,
''Uncle Tom.' played at the Peoples
theater last evening, is, perhaps. the
best of them all. 1t is the famous Lon
don version, with some slight changes
by Manager Sterling. The play was
handsomely put upon the stage, and it
seemed to please the large audience I'M
mensely. The scenic tableauX were
very elaborate, among them being. The
Vision, the Apotheosis of Eva, and the
allegorical picture, Mansions in the
Skies. The cast was strong one. w.
E. Sterling gave a powerful and synipa-
thetic portrayal OF Uncle rom,
putting great deal OF delieacy
and feeling into his work. Miss
Marie Wellesley was Eliza, and in
makeup and conception OF the part she
was excellent. j. b. Brown, was
sufficiently villainous Legree, the slave
as George Harris. j. w. Burton was
an uproariously funny Lawyer Marks,
and James Harrison bluff, thoroughly
characteristic PhineaS Fletcher. Carrie
Strong convuised the audience with her
whimsicalities in the role of Topsy.
Miss Alice Kemp as Mrs. ST. Claire and
Miss Mary Clifford as Aunt Ophelia,
were both acceptable. Little Florine was
cute and precocious Eva. The North
Star Jubilee club, composed of colored
vocalists of this city. introduced planta-
ton melodies, giees and dances, while
Miss strong gave clever song and
dance speciality. One of the features OF
the performance was the appearance OF
Miss WelleSley'S famous trained dogs,
Sultan, Cesar and Monarch, which. as
the three bloodhounds, fairly divided
the honors with the human actors.
The play ran very smoothly for a first
night. 1t will be continued all the
week.

gagement at the Grand opera tonight

CLAUS SPRECKELS WARY.
Failure of the mectric Scheme
on the Pacific Coast.


SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Jan. 6.-The
report of the collapse of the Electric
Sugar Refining company in New York
and London caused much comment
among sugar refiners here. The scheme
was tried here. but the local refners did
not bite the bait. An agent of the new
company named Keller came here about
three months ago and opened an office
in the board of trade rooms. He claimed
to have the machines with him, which
he rugged in private room. The
investigator could see the raw sugar go
into the chute: he could hear the mill
churning away in the secret room, and
then he could see the beautiful white
sugar appear, with crystals unlike any
thing known to sugar refiners. Keller
sold some stock. but he did not have
any success with the big men.
Claus Spreekels came to see the ma
chine, but when he found there was q
dark rOom' process which he could
not see he dropped the whole thing.
Keller tried to get his aid, declaring he
could break the sugar trust, but
Spreckels was too wary and would not
venture any coin upon scheme which
he had to take on faith. Other refiners
refused to put up coin, so Keller de-
parted, leaving only few dupes who
fell victims to his plausible tongue.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-An amend
ment to the senate rules was adopted
Friday last, giving to the president-elect
and the vice president-elect the prlVl-
leges of the floor. No reason for adopt
ing this rule was given at the time OF
its adoption, as there was no objection
made to it. 1t is learned now that the
reason for changing the rules was TO
give the vice president-elect an opp0r-
tunity to study the rules of procedure OF
the senate so that he may be familiar
with them when he is called upon to
take the chair of the presiding officer.
A member of the senate went to the
president pro tempore, Mr. ingalls,, last
week, and asked if MI. Morton would
be admitted to the floor of the senate
in the event he came to Washington
during this session of congress.
Mr.. ingalls, replied that under
the rules he would not, and that Gen.
Harrison would not be admitted to the
floor but for the fact that he had been
senator. and thus came under distinct
rule. The senator stated that MI. Nor
ton was coming to Washington soon
after the meeting Of the electoral col
lege to study the rules of the senate, of
which he has never been a member, in
order that he might assume the chair OF
the presiding officer with some degree
Of confidence. Mr.. Ingalls, said that the
only way to obtain admittance to the
floor for Mr.. Morton would be to change
the rule; and, in accordance with his
suggestion, the proposition was laid be-
fore the committee on rules, and that
committee reported the proposed change
to the senate, which thereupon adopted
it. So when Mr.. Morton comes to Wash
ington in February he will find no OBJ
stacle to careful study of the senate
rules of procedure.
MORTON IN PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6.-Vice Presi-
dent-elect Morton and wife arrived in
this city last evening. They were driven
to the residence of Rev. d. Francis l..

spent in purely social and informal

Hall and Beacon dispensaries, con-
nected with the Beacon Presbyterian
church at Cumberland and Cedar

RIFLES IN READINESS
For a Descent on Bad Blacks at
ArcOla, Miss.

V1cKsBURG, Jan. 6.-There has been
considerable excitement in this city
during the day over expected trouble at
Arcola, Washington county, Miss.
Several negroes were arrested there
some days ago, charged with burning
Col. Paxton's residence. 1t was also
stated by one of the negroes that the
plot was to also murder the family. The
latter part of the programme was not
carried out. The prisoners, it is stated,
succeeded in making their escape. The
cause of the excitement is that the ne
groes in that vicinity have assembled in
considerable numbers and threaten VEN
geance. About fifty Winchester rifles
were sent from this place to Arcola this
morning. A train has been held in
readiness all day, and On receipt Of the
first news of danger the Sonthrons,
under command of Capt. S. Earls, will
leave for that point.

A HOOSIER ROW
In Prospect When the General
Assembly Convenes.

INDIANAPoLIS, Ind. Jan. G.-When
the Indiana general assembly conyenes
next Thursday it will open with row
in the senate. Already many of the
members are here, and the Democratic
senators declare that jt is their deter
mination that Col. Robertson shall not
preside over the senate. The course
that will probably be pursued wil be to
elect a president pro tem.. and then re-
fuse to allow Robertson to preside over
the body. Col. Robertson has declared
himself. Il shall do my duty" he SAWS:
s'that is, go as the legally elected lieu
tenant governor of Indiana, and open
the session Of the Legislature Jan. 10. [
shall. as before, take whatever action
the Republican party thinks necessary.
The senate at its last adjournment did
not elect president pro tenn. TO sue
ceed Green Smith, and consequently
their own false claim falls to the
ground" The general assembly about
to convene is confronted with aperpleX-
Ing financial problem. For several
years there has been a gradual decrease
in the amount of revenue collected by
taxation, but there has been no diminu-
tion of expenditure, and the demand
for additional funds has become so
pressing that the state tax must be in
creased or else permanent loan will
have to be negotiated. A temporary
loan must be made to meet present
necessities, and hence the Legislators
will be forced to give immediate atten-
ton to financial matters or go without
their salaries. There viii not be an
available dollar in the treasury unless
there is raid upon funds sacred to
other purposes, and no increase of the
tax levy can be OF benefit fer two years
to come.

DOG CATCHERS HELD IN BOND
The Three Who So Cruelty Treated
a ST. Louis Boy Bound Over.

: ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Jan. 6.-1n the crimi-
nal court to-day Judge Noonan held
Robert Guerke. Michael Anglerodt and
William Burke, the three dog catchers
who are accused of having caught little
Willie Maierse and thrown him into
their wagon Oct. Is, in $4,000 each, or
$4,000 for the three. Mrs. Nellie
Finch's testimony was particularly
strong against the defendants. She
stated that she was attracted from her
house by a noise on the outside,
and saw man catch Willie Maierse
in an alley and shake him, drag
ging him by the neck. One man had
the boy at that time, but another
grabbed him and the two threw him
upon the wagon. She protested and
told them they had no right to treat the
boy so. Then one of them raised the
lid of the wagon to put the boy in among
the dogs, which were inside, and she
and Mrs. Klosterman held onto his legs.
Finally they drove off and at Tenth aud
Biddle streets threw the boy off. She
had followed them and had thrown
away their wire to get them to let the
boy go, but the driver held the child
while another man got the wire. The
man to whom she spoke was among the

PROPOSED WHEN TIpsY.
A Rich Young Phiiadelphisn
Who Got Himself Into q
SCPane.

no GOC hIInSell iutO q
Scrape.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 6.-There
is some talk in local society of a young
bachelor OF fortune here on account OF
little scrape of rather humorous de-
scription into which he got himself at a
party one night and, inspired by the
tippIe. proposed to one of the daughters
OF the host. The girl-not unnaturaily
eager to capture an acknowledged beau
and a man of birth, position, money. and
good lookS-promptly accepted him, as
probably four out OF every five mar
riageable maidens would have done
under the circumstances.
Next morning the bachelor woke up
and began to dimly recall the occurrences
of the night before. He had become
unduly stimulated-thou certainly he
was far from being intoXicated-and
had offered himself to the daughter of
his host. Worse still, he had been ae-
cepted. Of course he could not marry
her. There was but one honorable
thing to do under the circumstances. 1t
would be rather painful, but it must be
done. He would 60 and see the old
gentleman and tell him it was all mis-
=
after all. He had only thought he did
because he was drunk.
The sooner the affair was over and
done with the better. He went to the
old gentleman'S house and asked to see
him. The host of the night before had
been informed by his daughter of the
PROPOSAL she had received and accepted.
He was. therefore, prepared for a visit
from his intended son-in-law, whom he
received In the library with smile and
a cordial grasp of the hand.
Il have come, my dear sir. began
the visitor, with something serious to
saw And he sunk into chair, look
ing pale, indeed. :.
aMy dear fellow replied the old
man, cheerfulIy. II think | kno9 what
YOU have to tell me already. Let me
assure you that you are needlesSly
alarmed.
But let ms throw veil upon the pain
full explanation that ensued. Whether
or not the reealcitrant suitor walked out
of the house OF was kicked out is un-
happily not recorded. The most I'M
fortunate part of the affair was that the
girl who was thus Summarily Tilted had,
with not unnatural pride. already COM
munieated the fact of her engagement
to many of her friends. The story, as
told here, soon got about. and the vic
tim was both blamed and laughed at for
her indiscretion and immodesty in ae-
cepting a man who was tipsy.
As for his part in the affair-inasmuch
as he was rich and yet eligible matri-
monially-it was regarded rather as a
good joke than otherwise.
