The KENTUcKIAs building sus-
talned some damage in the way Of

and roof. The KENTUoKIAN stock
was also slightly damaged
and q few losses sustained In moving.
These damages are fully covered by
insurance amounting to $1,000 with

MINOR MENTION.
Fireman Jas. Weston was struck
in the eye by q stream Of water at
close range and q painful though not
serious injury sustained. As soon as
he could have his eye attended to he
resumed work.
Before the fire was out the KEN
TUoKIAN had up Its bulletin board
irving a detailed account OF the losses
and insurance. aN<t
II the fire had been in the night
the Kentuckian Office could not have
been saved and the Phoenix Hotel on
the west, entirely unprotected, would
have also gone up In smoke.
For once there was plenty Of water
close at hand.
Another argument for waterworks.
The fire could have been put out in
its early stages IL water could have
been thrown while the fire company
was getting ready.
We are still In ring, not even dis
figured much.
II was the closest call this office
ever had, and 1t has had fires all
round In the past.
The fire started probably from a
defective fue in the second story,
though this Is conjecture. The fire
was not discovered until passers-by
saw 1t.
The burnt buildings will very
probably be rebuilt ut once.
Fireman Wood Twyman lost 80

AUSTIN, TEX, January 26.-The rejection
of the presidential electoral return Of Texas
by Mr.. ingalls,, president pro tenn OF the
senate, created a comm Orion here. The
opinion as voiced by State Eleetor Wood, is
that the action of Senator Ingalls, in refus4
ing the returns was absolutely unauthorized
by any law found in the revised statutes OF
the United States, and that his object was
to delay the count, as evidenced by Mr.,
HOar's resolution introduced IN the senate,
behind with their returns. The action was
without any grounds of law or sense, and
an outrage on the rights of the states, and
Texas in particular. The electoral colleges
however, met and corrected the returns
putting 1t in fUll legal shape, and Colonel
Robertson, the messenger, left Austin for
Washington and barring accident viii reach
that city in time.

BERLIN, January 26.-The North German
Gazette, Prince Bismarck organ, denies
the existence of any treaty preciuding any
European power from acquiring or seeking
to acquire ascendancy in Samoa.
The Gazette also denies that England an d
the United States are agreed that the pro-
ceedings of the German agent in Samoa are
contrary to the stipulations Of the treaties
concerning Samoa and are opposed to dip
lOmatic etiquette, and that these powers
officially notified the German government
accordingly.
England and the United States, the Gazette
further says, provide that Samoa shall con
cede to each treaty power equal right with
any other power, but no treaty regarding
exists between Germany and the United
States.

MISUNDERSTANDING.

A Successful Trial Of thy Big New York
Firm.
NEW YORK, January 26.-''We have made
little money this year, and your share of
the profits pays 81 per cent. on the last
years salary of every one of you, from man
ager to cash boy"
A Eattling of glasses and humping of ia
bles greeted this pleasing information that
Mr.. l.. r. Chambers, of the firm of Rogers,
Peet & Co., gave to the 800 employees of the
house at their annual dinner at the Metro
politan hotel. 1t was the fourth annual
dinner that Rogers, Peet & Co. have given
to their employees and the whole affair was
a big success.
At the head of the dining hall at the table
of honor sat f. r.. Chambers and w. r. n.
Martin, the Representatives of the firm, with
their guests. At the same table sat the
principal employees OF the house. The four
long tables. which were ranged down the
hall, we're filed with the statesmen, clerks,
cutters, buyers, cash boys, drivers, and in
fact all who make their living by working
for Rogers, Pe6t q Co.
While they were putting their cigars, Mr..
Chambers arose in behalf of the firm.
'Ihis Is the third year of our attempt at
proft-sharing, 3" he said. "Our5 is one Of
the few houses IN which this custom has
been maintained. 1t fails usually because
the employees have not interest enough in
the work to justify 1t; but this has not been
our experience, and we cheerfully part with
the share of our gains, knowing that we are
imbuing you with a sense of prOprietOrship
Ia the business" The speaker wound up
with few words or advice and told the
men to save their money and get mar
ried.
Take unto yourselves wives and encOur-
age the growth of the country aud boom
our boys clothing department at the same
time"
!. E. Powers told his hearers something
about the duties Of the enterprising sales
men. Andrew w. Ferguson, OF the retail
department, followed with an eulOgy In
rhyme on the firm and its methods. The
wholesale departments tuneful trio, Messrs.
Bowers, Taylor and Morgan sung ''the Old
Log Cabin in the DELL and 4. d. Terry, Of
the manufacturing department, presented
handsomely engrOssed testimonial to the
firm on behalf Of the ''juniOr partners"
The dividends were distributed in checks
after the dinner.

Duties on Farm Products.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 28.-
A petition presented in the senate by sena-
tor Morrill, from Vermont farmers urges
congress to increas the duties on various
farm products. The farmers of the United
States, the petition says, are undersOld IN
many of our cities and towns by
the products of iu-paid or unpaid foreign
labor. Onions from Spain and Egypt
appear in markets as far west as
Chicago. Tobacco raised by coolies in
Sumatra, and imported, the petition says,
by tricks and frauds, lessons the reward Of
American growers. Wool clipped by slaves,
by cOnvicts or by creatures scarcely less de-
graded, stops wool growing by an army Of
American farmers, and sends six million
sheep annually to the slaughter. Potatoes
and cabbage by the cargo from places where
women work daily in the fields come here as
ballast, with eggs by the ship load from
Holland, cattle from Mexico and barley
from Canada.

AN EARTHQUAKES.

A Portion OF Colorado Considerably Shaken
UP-PeOple and Animals Frightened.
DENVER, COLO., January 28.-InformatiOn
has been received from Route, Colo, that
that portion of the state has been treated to
a genuine earthquake. The shocks were
violent ones which rocked small buildings
etached large masses of rocks from noun
tains and greatly frightened the people and
animals. Cattle were especially terrorized
a. ran frantically back aud forth. Then
der preceded the shocks but there was no
rain. A peculiar phenomenon was observed
at Hot Springs below the government
bridge. The shock was productive Of great
gushes Of water and gas. Fully three times
as much water and gas was thrown out and
accompanying was q most sUlphurOus
stencil that made the people sick and cause
birds to drop on the ground. When the
CONFUSION ceased, water receded and there
were sounds like the rushing of a great
river. The course of the shock was from
tn south nOrthWard.

SAN Francisco, January 29.-The Amer
lean schooner, II. L. Dieman, has arrived
here from the Marshall Islands, the place
of Punishment OF Malietoa, the deposed
king of Samoa. Malietoa arrived at Jaliul
on Bonham Island about November %, on
the German war ship Olga. He was ac-
corded the liberty of the island, but was
guarded by German soldiers and prevented
from holding any intercourse with white
people of JaIiul Z. M. Morgan, United
States consul at JaliuI, underworld to get
into conversation with the depOsed king,
but was prevented from doing so. Mal1etoa
has aged considerably since being placed
in captivity, and he wanders aimlessly
about Jaliul, as if he had given CS all hope
of escape,

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, January 29.-Another
southern delegation called upon Genera
Harrison. It consisted Of O. @. Austin,
mayor, and a. ". Rustin, city attorney OF
Decatur, Ala; Andrew @. Frey, mayor, and
F. Hummel, member Of the board Of alder
men, Of New Decatur. They came to talk
over ''the new SOUTH with the general, and
present him a memorial from the officials OF
the two fast growing cities. They repre-
scented that the two places had increased
over 500 per cent in the last two years. They
had a very free and pleasant conversation
with the general, he talking more than is
usual with him. He impressed upon them
that great part of the work Of bringing 8
better order Of things about in the south,
depended upon the people there and that he
would try, as far as possible, to give them
such an administration as would help to
build up the material wealth OF the country
and would enoeayOr 20 put only the pest
men to be found into office: but that they
must do something; that 1t was with them
to organize among the younger class party
Of true advancement on the basis Of prOtsC-
ton TO American industries.
The general spent rather a quiet days
taking longer walk than usual in the after
noon.
Among the callers were Z. p. Ferry, Of
Utah. a brother of ex-senator Ferry OF
Michigan; John p. Young, of the San Fran
cisO Chronicle, and Mr.. Emmerson, the
messenger Of Kansas, to convey the vote OF
the electors to Washington. 1t is probable
that General Harrison will 60 to Cincinnati
TO attend the opening Of the new chamber OF
commerce.
Mr.. Allison is expected. This visit is the
occasion Of a good deal OF conjecture. Lt
has generally been thought here that Mr..
Allison would be the next secretary OF the
treasury, but this visit here, following SO
closely on the trip of Mr.. GARRISON to the
east is deemed very significant. If Mr..
Clarkson should 60 into the cabinet, it
would be as postmaster general or such is
the impression here. Word has been re-
ceived here from some of Mr.. Alllson's
friends that he is very much averse 70 leav-
Jag the senate, and that he would not CON
slider a cabineJ Office. 1t Is claimed that
those who are the nearest General Harrison,
that he is very anxious to have the Iowa
senator in his official family, and the out
come Of the visit will be watched for with
great deal of interest.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, January 26.-The
federal grand jury has returned no addition
al indictments. Another large batch Of
witnesses from the country were before the

ments have thus far been returned in the

parties said to be indicted, are republicans
among them Senator Carpenter from Shelby
ton that an Indictment had been found
against him, alleging bribery. Senator Car
penteE,s seat Is now being contested by Mr..
Scott Ray, on the grounds of fraudulent uss
is based upon practically the same evidence
now being discussed in the senate No at
tempt to serve a warrant upon Carpenter
has yet been made. Senator Carpenter says
he never saw the man he Is accused of brib-
ing. It Is expected the grand jury viii make
its final report about Saturday and be dis
missed.

New YoRK, January 26.-R. G. Dun q
Co. 8 weekly review OF trade says:
The state of trade Is unusually perplexing.
for with the complaint Of dizziness there are
evidences that the volume of transactions is
large. The payments through banks last
Wesk were % per cent larger than for the
corresponding week last year at New York
and Is per cent larger at all other cities.
Railroad earnings also show that traffic IS
large.
The demand for nearly ali interior points,
moreover, indicate that larger business Is
in progress. Yet it Is undenlabIe that the
prevailing temperament Is one OF d1sap-
pointment. At southern points, after some
depression, trade appears to be improving.
In the northwest trade Is fully equel'to that
of last year, and at some points clearly
larger, The supply OF money seems TO be
everywhere ample for legitimate demand.
There are no indications of general unsOund-
ness or overstrainlng OF commercial CreulLs.
The decline in wheat continues, the price
having fallen 25E cents for the week. as the
prices reached this week 9353 to S31s cents.
There has been some buying for export
though not as vet for Great Britain. Corn
has fallen a cent, and oats are lower. Pork
products have also declined; mess aDouJ %
cents per barrel, lard 20 and hogs 10 cents
per hundred pounds. Cotton IS shade
lower. with sales of 40, 600 bales; and cOHee
8 cents higher, with sales OF zo5sU wv bags:
The market for copper has been QulI' ana
tin is lower at 2l55 cents. Lead Is also weak,
at $3.50; but spelter is quoted at cents.
There is little activity in groceries, but the
sugar market faYOrs holders. Inc general
average of prices has failed off one per cent
for the week.
The supply Of money here increases both
by remittances from the interior, and by
excess Of treasury disbursements over re-
ceipts. which reached 81, zoe, 600 for the week.
The export of merchandise from New York
show a gain of IL per cent for three weeks.
The stock market is, nevertheless, SO firmly
sustained that the average decline IN prices
has been only go cents per 800 for the week
The business failures number 342 against
a total of 387 last week and 81 the week
previous For the corresponding week OF
last year the failures were 269.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 28-
The senate committee on territories took mp
the house bill passed the other day for the
admission of North and South Dakota,
Montana and Washington territories and
New Mexico into the union. After q session
Of two hours one Of the committee said:
1--WE have spent the entire session IN con
sidering the use omnibus bill. It is no
ticeaDle for contradictory provisions and
inadeQuacy to get any territory OF part Of
territory into the union as a state. For in
stance, section seems to provide for the
admission Of all the proposed states upon
the proclamation Of the president, while
section Is seems to as clearly provide that
none shall be admitted-even South Dakota
If 1t complies with the terms OF the bill
without additional legislation by congress.
The sections illustrate the Inconsistencies
which seem to be fatal to the admission Of
any state, until further aCtign has bsen
taken by congress. The attempt of gen
eral bill Of this character to provide for the
local necessities OF different territories,
seem to have been such a failure, as that If
any state might come in under its provisions
1t would have been unable even IN court to
ascertain what It's rights are. Every terri
tory possesses unique local features and ne
cessities, and the attempt to put them all in
one bill does not appear to bave been a great
success. AS the bill now stands it Is prOba-
bly, the most complicated and most difficult
to interpret and administer that ever pass ed
either house Of congress- If We are TO pass
1t the measure must be corrected materially,
and 1t has been referred to q sO-cOmmlttee
with instructions to determine If its incOn-
sistencies can be so recOncIled that We can
recommend its passage"

The PheIps Banquet.

LONDON, January 28.-The lord mayor Of
London gave a grand banquet in honor of
Mr.. Phelps, the United States minister.
The Daily Chronicle referring to the ban
quet says:
Nothing was wanting to complete the sue
cess Of the demonstration of England's gen
eral good feeling. We trust that the Ameri-
cans VIII not take our God speed to Mr..
Phelps as an act Of vicRriOus penitence. Let
Us further hope that the farce of prolonging
the tiff with Washington viii be Withdrawn
from the bill of diplomatic play house.
The Pail Mall Gazette deprecates the
feting OF Mr.. Phelps. IL says:
He Is a commonplace diplomat, who has
done average work, and We will bid him
good bye without emotion or regret.
Diplomats, the Gazette says, attribute Mr..
Phelps treatment to the fact that the Amer.
leans are pulling John Bulls nose.

CheroEee Citizenship

WASHINGTON, D. O., January o.
The secretary of the interior has received
from the attorney genearl an opinion in
which it is held that all North Carolina
Cherokee Indians who have been admitted
to Cherokee citizenship by the CHER justice
of the Cherokee supreme court, under the
law of the Cherokee nation, Indian Terri
tory, passed in 1870, are citizens T that ma
tion and are entitled to all the rights and
privileges of such citizenship, notwithstand
ing the subsequent adverse action by the
Cherokee council The attorney general
holds that the council has no lawful right
to supervise the act of their chief justice in
this matter. It is said that there is large
number Of CherOkees, some OF them very
council refuse to recognize as citizens, and
have sought to dispossess them Of their
property
