In WASHlNT0N'S HONOR
The Union League Of Chicago Gave a
Banquet at their Club Rooms.
The Orator Of the Day Was Jacob Cox,
Of OhiO-TOasts Followed.
The Western Live StOckmen Will In
corporate Gigantic Company.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-In accordance with
the annual custom, she Union League
club of this city today celebrated Wash
ington's birthday, The stage in Central
Music hall this afternoon was occupied by
distinguished men from various parts of
the country, and a large auditor ium was
completely filled with prominent people.
The orator of the day was Gen. Jacob
D. Cox, of Ohio, whose address on
washington the Citizens Example," was
listened to with close attention.
This evening the members of the club
and the guests sat down to its annual
dinner at the club house. At its conclu-
sion, programme of toasts was taken
up. Gen. Russell A. AIger, of Michigan,
responded to american Policy for the
American Peoples" Frank E. Davis, of
Minnesota, to Manifest Destiny"
Bishop Cheney, to "The American Com
monwealth;" and Henry w. Darling, of
Toronto, to "The Political Relations of
the United States and Canada, from a
Canadian Standpoint"
Mr.. Darling said, referring to the much
mooted question of annexation, that he
thought that he correctly described the
prevailing sentiments of the Cansdians
generally when he said the word "annex-
alton" is extremely distasteful to them.
Their affection for the land of their fore
fathers is a feeling which always will be
predominant in their breasts. They
may be much mistaken as
to their ultimate destiny, and
they may overestimate their ability
to make the North American continent
the home of great and independent
Anglo Saxon race, but if their political
relations are to be changed it will come
about as a natural sequence of events,
and not purely as result of an appeal to
sordid or material considerations. Re-
ferring to the commercial union, or un-
restricted reciprocity, he asked whether
it is not in violation of all indications of
nature that artificial barriers to trade
and commerce should be erected
along an imaginary lire stretching from
the Atlantic to the Pacific between the
people of a common descent and a COM
mon language who are engaged in the
common aim, namely, making tributary
to their material advancement of vast
resources of nature which have been
placed at their disposal. Mr.. Darling
then reviewed at length the question of
trade between the United States and
Canada, entering at length into statistics
and showing among other things that
Canada's trade with Great Britain,
though unrestricted, was falling off,
while with the United States, in spite of
the restrictions. it was increasing. The
speaker declared the position taken by
Hon. Ben Butterworth and other Ameri-
can statesmen on the reciprocal trade had
caused an agitation in Canada unpar-
allied. With Z reciprocal trade he thought
there would be no difficulty about assimi-
lating the tariffs of the two countries.

cannon, and the din of brass music, drum
corps and yells greeted the presidential
train as it moved into the depot. 1t re-
quired q large force of policemen to
open the way for the engine. The train
pulled pretty well through the depot be-
fore stopping, and the people were try
ing to keep up, and rushed madly over
each other. A large number of ladies
were in the crowd, and many
of them were injured. Apparently the
maddeped crowd showed no respect for
any one about them. Nearly the entire
membership of the legislature went down
all lost sight of in the general
crush. 1t was the intention to have sew
eral songs from the glee club and also
to listen to speech from Gen. Harrison.
The former was almost entirely elimin
sted from the programme, and less than

standing in ten feet of him could
see his lips move as if ia

all. There was a sore lack of manage

STOCKMEN IN CONVICTION.
Closing Their Work, They Adjourn Uutil
March 4th.

Closing Their Work, They Adjourn Uutil
March 4th.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 22.-Representative
of the stockraising industry from nearly
every state and territory west of the
Mississippi river and from Illinois and
Kentucky, practically completed the work
of vital Importance to cattlemen today.
Fer a long time cattlemen have thought
they were losing through combines by
commission men and large packing
houses, which has resulted in the sale OF
their cattle at ridieulously low prices.
The scheme of forming an immense com-
mission company of the stookraisers
themselves had been preached, and a
month or so ago meeting held for the
purpose of taking opening steps pre-
paretory to such action. Today work
was practically finished and the meeting
adjourned until March 4, when the cleo
ton of officers of the new commission
company will take place.
1t was decided to incorporate the com
pany as the American Live Stock Com
mission company, with a capital stock of
$15O,000, and headquarters at Kansas
City and Chicago. The in
corporators will be Samuel Lag
aruS, OI I6Adss A. NItSOIy,
of Illinois, and Nicholas I. Eaton and
Thos. B. Buoy, of Kansas City. Articles
of incorporation will be filed at Spring
field, H., March 2. The idea of the pro-
motors of this movement is to enable
them to sell their stock at the highest
price and with the least expense possible,
and that end in view headquarters will be
established at Kansas City and Chicago,
with branches at Wichita, Kan, Fort
Worth, Tex, and possibly Omaha, where
stock will be received and sold on the
commission plan. The new com peny will
not confne its business to its mem
| bers, but will receive stock
from non members, and will do
| a general stock commission business on
| large scale. One of the most import
| ant features of the movement is the
possible effect it may have on the cattle
| business of Kansas City and Chicago. II
has been the general superstition among
range men that very tight and power
| full combine existed in this city between
the commission and packing houses. The
members of the new organization now
threaten that if there is any DISPOSE
ton on the part of the packing
| houses here to discriminate against
them After they begin business they
will not ship head of stock to Kansas
| City, but will send their cattle to Chicago
II is for this reason that company is &c
be incorporated in Illinois. Some idet
of the magnitude of the movement may
be had from the fact that the members

The English Government Will Have to Pay
Heavily for Llbeling Parneli.
LONDON, Feb. 23-The Star CT. P.
O'Connor's paper), commenting on the
evidence of Pigott before the Parnell
commission says: "The connection be-
tween the Times and the government is
twofold. The government created, first,
commission, and second, the Times
csse. If Attorney General Webster had
not been enabled to play the parts of
prosecutor, judge and Trainer of the in
diotment, there could have been no tr1-
bunal at all. If he had not assured Lord
Salisbury that the letters would
be proved to be genuine, the commission
would not have been created, and union
lists would never suffer such blow, as by
their own piteous admissions awaits
them. The government chose game
with loaded dice, selected its partners,
and arranged the rules of the game, and
it must pay up now. The price is the
dissolution of parliament. We want to
know what the country thinks of Pigott."

WEALTH AvAILED HIM NAUGHT.
James c. Flood, the Millionaire, Died a
Berlin.

James C. Flood, the Millionaire, Died at
Berlin.
BERLIN, Feb. 21.-James q. Flood, of
California, died at Heidelberg this
morning.
Mr.. Flood was born in New York in
1926, and his parents were about as poor
as they well could be, end they worked
and scraped and stinted themselves to
give him instruction in the ordinary Eng
lsh branches. When young Flood, IN
1849, took passage for California, his
brains constituted his sole capital. In
1854 he associated with the late W. s.
O'Brien. The first notable enter prise en-
gagged in by Flood d O'Brien consisted
of operations in the Kentuck and other
mines on the Comstock lode, in which
they generally contrived to secure con-
trolling interest. This was as early as
1862. Their opera tions 10 Hale d Nor
cross, few years after, were on scale
so large az to attract general attention TO
them as mining spec ulators. But the
operation which finally made the name of
Mr.. Flood known throughout the
world was in the short space of
few months in the early part of
1875, in those vast bodies of
ore in the Consolidated Virginia and
California mines which gave them the
name of BONANZA" thus adding per
msnent word to the English language.
mparatively poor the morning before
those great discoveries, they awoke to
fiud themselves possessed of nearly $780,
100000. Flood was staggered and
dezed and Mr.. O'Briep was al
most prostrated. And here stands out
the sterling character of "Jisl" Flood
He was not content to see his own fortune
rolling up st the rate of 100000 day,
but with an instructive generosity he
dealt most literally with those who had
the good fortune to be his friends. Mr..
Floods family consists of wife and
daughter, Miss Jennie, who several years
ago was engaged to Ulysses 8. Grant Jr.,
and son. Mr.. Floods estate 10 placed
by careful authorities at trihe over
$10O, 0OO, 900.

man of seventy years, persisted in the
flames.
The remains of q vagrant were found
amid the ruins of the hotel at Hartford,
Conn. This makes the twenty-third vic
tim of the disaster.
Emma Watson, a negress, was con-
voted of keeping den of infamy at
Superior, Wis, and was sentenced to one
year in states prison, with hard labor.
j. B. Statter, who was held for trial at
Marshalltown, Iowa, on the charge of
bigamy, has skipped his bail, and the
most vigilant search of the officers fail to
find him.
The factory and shops of the Mime
sofa Carriage and Sleigh company, at

by fire, causing a loss of $4,000, on
which there is an insurance of $4,000.

Certificates Not All In.

WAsHINeT IN. Feb. 21.-Up to date all
but about 15 certificates of members elect
for the next house, have been received py
General Clark, clerk of the house.
Among those lacking are the certificates
OF two representatives from West Vir-
ginia and one from Tennessee. In regard
to the case of the West Virginia mem
bere-elect, Gen. Clark said now
that the senatorial contest was over,
he believed that certificates for represen-
tatives would soon be made ont. Re-
garding the Tennessee case, Gen. Clark
said it would not be proper for him 20
express his opinion, as the case might
come before him for decision, be-
tween two sets of certificates assuming
of Tennessee (Rep.) will receive
sufficient certificate. Mr.. Clark figures
that the republicans will have 164 and the
democrats 159 members at the organlza-
ton of the next house, not counting
West Virginia and the admission of Da-
kots and Washington. Montana will
increase this majority.
