WOMEN KNOCKED DOWN AND ROBBED IN FRoyf
OF THEIR HOMES.
A Chicago special TO the New York Herald
says: Highway robbers are having a carnival
on West Madison street in the neighborhood
of Latin and sheldon streets and the police
appear to make no effort TO stop them. Nom
day evening, at $40 o'clock. Mrs J. b. Sher-
wood, the wife of a well-known furniture
man, stepped from Madison-street
car. at the corner of Latin street and
walked south toward her home at No. $50
West Monroe street. near the corner of Latin
She was followed from the corner of Madison
street by two men. behind whom walked
another woman. As she was crossing the alley
between Madison and Monroe streets the two
men stepped up beside her. The one on her
left side took hold of her satchel and ierked il
several times in an effort TO get il away from
her. But instinctiyely the lady frightened her
hold on the satchel. and he did not succeed.
As she was about to turn TO the man ON her
right TO appeal for help she received from him
a b low on the right side of her head. knocking
her down. She lay dazed for a few seconds,
and when she came to her satchel was gone and
the men were out of sight
Mrs. Louisa ORell, an English lady living al
No. 10 Sheldon street was held up last night in
similar manner. She got off a Madison street
car and was followed by two colored men. She
reached her house. and was turning to mount
the steps when one of the fellows grabbed her
satchel jerked il out of her hand and ran She
turned TO the other man, Wont YOU try and
get my pocketbook for meY" He said he would.
and ran after the robber, but never came back.
the police were notified in both cases, but APP
peared to take little interest in the matter.
Women are afraid to go out at night for fear
of being attacked and robbed. and burglaries
are reported in every section of the city. Few,
if any, arrests are made, and the gangs which
lnfest the town appear TO have things about
their own way. There is a general cry for a
change, for as things are going on now there
might as well be no police, for no arrests are
made.

stroyed by Arab Slave-Traders.
ZANZIBAR, Jan. 1.-THE Arabs have destroyed
the German missionary station at Tugu, Is
miles west of Dar-es-Salem. A majority Of the
slaves captured by the German man-of-war
Leipzig were lodged at the station. One mis-
sionary succeeded in escaping from the Arabs,
but eight others were massacred. Three
bodies, one of them that of a woman, were
found mutilated in barbarous manner. The
Arabs carried off the servants and slaves at the
station. The French missionary stations, espe-
cially those situated near Tugu, are in immi-
nent danger. The Arabs, who are now joining
and Lindi. and are richer and more influential
than Bushiri and are likely to overshadow him.
These accessions to the slave-traders will have
the effect of reinvigorating the revolt, which
would have died out if the Germans had not
retained Boyamoyo and Dar-es-Salem.

The friends of General sheridan have SIM
posed all along that Congress would take care
of his widow and children, and considerable
surprise was felt here when il became known
that a fund for their support is being raised by
private subscription. The movement was
started in Washington. where il first became
known that Mrs. Sheridan is in destitute cir
cumstances Senators Allison and Hale have
the matter IN charge. senator Leland STAN
ford has signified his intention TO contribute
S0.OOO, and IN business letter 90 C. T. Hunt
lngton incidental mention of the matter was
made, whereupon Mir. Huntington. who signs
checks for good purposes on the slightest prov

ford that he would like to be counted in as one
of the subscribers.
The family OF n man like Sheridan ehould
be well cared for by the government said Mr..
Huntington in his hearty way 20 a Tribune re-
porter yesterday. 1T would be a good way 70
get rid of some of the surplus. AT least slOO.-
600 year should be spent in the maintenance
OF the families of men who faithfully served
their country. Such men as sheridan have

According to the official report of the
United States Consul at Ottawa, Canada
sold goods to this country last year valued
at $40, 572, 065, and bought goods of us valued
at $4S, 4Sl.S4S. In the same year Canada
sold to Great Britain $42,094,9S4 worth of
merchandise, and bought from that country
a fraction less than $40 100000 worth. That
is to say, in the trade with the Dominion the
balance in our favor was $6,00O,O0O, while
the balance against England was 100000.
1t will be seen that the industrial ties be-
tween this country and Canada are consid-
erably stronger than those between Canada
and England. The time will come when Eng
land will get SO little out of the Dominion that
she will consider it hardly worth keeping.
Indeed at the present time her concern for
the Dominion appears to be rather feeble
at any rate that is the view good part of
the Dominion people take Of 1t, judging from

The Illinois law compelling the attend
ance all children between certain ages at the
public schools will have to be supplemented
by law compelling somebody to buy the
children suitable clothes, else it will prove a
failure. The other day an attempt was
made in Chicago to gather in the boys who
were out contrary to law. Over hundred
were collected and placed In the schools.
But they were so dirty and ragged that the
principals were compelled to exclude them,
or suffer the schools to be broken up. Mean
while application had been made to several
public boards for money to furnish the re-
quired clothing, but no authority can be
found for the payment of money for such
purpose, and consequently the children still
remain out of school.

the Concord People and Patriot refers
to the movement to change the rules Of the
House as measure to deprive the majority
Of their rights. The People and Patriot is
in error. 1t Is movement to restore to the
majority rights which naturally belong to
them, and which have been taken from them
by these rules. The majority has the right
to legislate. That is admitted theoretically
on all hands. But these rules practically
destroy that right. Congressman Reed is
the recognized leader Of the movement to
change the rules, and. the fact that he has
urged half dozen Congresses in which the
Democrats were in control to make the
change is a sufficient answer to the charge
that the change is founded on desire to
strip the minority Of their rights.

Boulanger, Notwithstanding his over
whelming defeat. still maintains an air of
professed confidence. He attributes the re.
suit of the elections to the deception of the
electors and the fact that many of the most
prominent Boulangist candidates were de-
barred from taking a personal part in the
canvass. The exposition figured, too, in ia
yor of the Republicans. inasmuch as the
Paris traders feared the overthrow of the
present government might brighten and drive
away the foreign visitors from Paris. He
thinks, however, that 1t will not be long be-
fore the Chamber will show its inability to
cope with the exising condition of things,
and then "a more urgent appeal will be
made to me to come and put an END to this
entangled confusion and impuissance."
Boulanger's views appear to be shared by
nobody but himself, for to everybody else his
defeat looks like his final overthrow, with no
hope of a resurrection.
