sank down on the hot stove Her arms
from the elbow to the hands were burned
to a crisp; her chin was slightly burned,
as was also her stomach and clothing, and

FIXING THE RATE QUESTION.

CHICAGO, March IA meeting of repre-
sentatives of roads which are in the terri
tory of the Central Traffic association, but
are not members thereof, was held at

junction points as Peoria, St. Louis, etc.
All roads represented agreed to the estab-
lishment of inspection bureaus at various
points and to submit to examination of
their way bills by authorized inspectors of

CAPITAL NOTES.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The report of

upon the bill to secure a retral of the
claims by the La Albra Mining company
against the Mexican government ian
award having previously been made by
the mixed claims committee of S6720 00)
was made to the senate today by Senator
DolDh. The report says: in the opinion
of the committee the evidence is sufficient
to show the whole claim of the company
to be fraudulent and the claimants testi-
mony before the mixed commission so far
as it tends to fix responsibility for the
company's loss upon the Mexican govern
ment to have been rank purjury. The
idea OF making claim against the Mex
lean government appears to have been a
gross fraud i'll its inception. to have been
based upon fraudulent allegations sup
ported by false swearing and manu-
featured testimony and it is impossible in
the face of the correspondence covering
the period within which the company was
making preparations to work its mines in
Mexico and while they were being worked.
to conceive that the officers and agents of
the compay in New York were not active
participants in the fraud. The committee is
OF the opinion that congress has power to
90 what is proposed to be done by the bill
under consideration and recommends its
passage with amendments. senator brown
will probably make minority report as it
is understood he is opposed to the bill.
This afternoon Secretary Villas sent to

earnest hope that either the government
home
may be able very soon to
find a field far remote from Alaska in
which the peculiar talents and altogether
questionable methods of Rev. DR.. Sheldon
Jacks can be more profitably employed"
Governor Swineford says that two or
three of the missionaries are responsible
for viiest ISLANDERS upon the white people
of Alaska which have been sent broadcast
through the country, and he recommends
that the Presbyterian board of home
measures make a thorough investigation
of the management Of its Alaska station.

FIFTH DIsTFICT NEEDS.

Col. G. Fl. GRAVES, of Duluth, took the
oath of office yesterday as speaker OF
the house. In his address to that body
he significantly alluded to the growing
Importance of the Fifth congressional
district-not alone politically, but as
a point of resource for wealth which
must ultimately rank among the first i'll
the state. In this connection it may be
well to call attention to the continued
disfranchisement of that district as
regards legislative representation. No
senator nor representative is prepared
to deny that this great district of thirty
counties, stretching out over nearly one
half OF the state, is unfairly treated
when its representation is confined to
seven senators and fifteen representa-
tives. This meager force stands to
speak for the needs of over 1000 voters,
and it is almost beyond reason that they
should be able to do SO. Were the Fifth
district wilderness or a desert, ques-
ton might be had as to the propriety of
her enjoying any representation; but the
locality is one of marvellous fertility,
great mineral wealth. and constantly
increasing population. The excuse made
that more representation for the Fifth
means more for the Twin Cities, and
therefore the country will grant neither,
is too f1imsy to be advanced by sensible
men. Certain portions of the state are
growing at rate that imperatiyely de-
mandS new representation in order
that their wants may be properly cared
for. Other portions of the state. already
well represented, are stationary in
growth at present; and, as the districts
needing reapportionment understand it,
are the ones opposed to any change,
fearing loss for themselves and new
power for the others. If this be true,
reapportionment cannot be had now,
and possibly not for some years. But
the injustice remains stain upon the
records of the state, which ought not to
reveal legislative action opposed to fair
play.

TO CHECK VICE.

DR.. KATE BUSHNELL, of Chicago, de-
serves gold medal from humanity for
her investigation of the dens of infamy
located in the pineries of North Wis
consin. In the face of official opposi-
ton, of threats from the brutes upon
whose trail she was, and a callouS pub
lie sentiment, she personally visited
these infamous localities and secured
sufficient valuable information to war
rant her asking the Wisconsin legisla-
ture for immediate action. DR.. BUSH
NELL's report, published in yesterdays
GLOBE, leaves no room for doubt as to
the existence of these evils. She does
not deal in generalities. She is labor
ing for outraged womanhood, and her
plea for aid is supported by facts whose
hideousness crimSons the cheek. I'm
fortunately for her mission, the men who
control these Sinkholes appear to have
political influence of a nature that
makes the law blind to their deeds.
Unless the people of Wisconsin them
selves rouse to full appreciation of
their duty in the case, the legislature
sitting now at Madison is vely liable to
turn deaf ear to any cry for help. tits
shameful that these things should be:
that for years a great commonwealth
should permit the existence of dens
within it's borders whose purpose has
been the debauching of young girls.
But unless a public sentiment is de-
veloped such as will be cyclonic in its
action, relief can hardly be hoped for.

THE PANAMA INVASION.

At this stage of the Panama canal
sWSndle there should be no delay upon
the part of congress in declaring that
the American government is hostile to
further prosecution of work upon the
canal. Furthermore, the rebuke should
have such latitude as to give notice to
all foreign powers that encrOachmentS
of such nature upon the Western CONT
nent will no longer be tolerated. This
course should have been taken long ago,
and anybody but the national congress
would have seen ere this the necessity
of such action. Yet it is not too late
for congress to accomplish by official
declarations What-if this is not done
armed force will eventually have to do.
The best engineering authority in the
world has shown the Panama canal to
be visionary and impracticable prof.
ect. The first statesmen of the coun-
try have pointed out that its prosecu-
ton practically under the control of the
French government has been wanton
violation of the Monroe doctrine. Pres
ident CLEVELAND in his messages has
repeatedly called attention to the ne
cesSity for resistance to these aggres-
sions. 1t only remains for congress to
act. When that body has done so, if
that is not sufficient, then a dernier re-
sort may be had. But there should
come no uncertain sound from that
body as to the governments opinion of
the Panama scheme.

CHE SPEAKERSHlP

No one will appreciate more than Col.
GRAVES the frank and manly manner
in which Hon. j. F. MORGAN accepted
his defeat yesterday by seconding the
nomination made for speaker. The
part MIR. MORGAN has played in the
entire contest has been one of honor to
the section he represents. The speaker
ship of the house is a position Of great
advantage to man of rising political
ambitions. 1t gives him an opportunity
to show his mettle, opens field for
wide acquaintanceship, and, through
the committees to be appointed, offers a
practical way for making valuable
alliances. AMOS CoGGswELL, speaker
in 1859, is now postmaster at Owa-
tonna; JARED BENSON, speaker of
1S60-62-64. is to-day member of the
house. JAMES WAKEFIELD, speaker
in 1866, became congressman; JOHN
L. GIBBS, speaker in 1877, is railroad
commissioner now; G. A. GILMAN,
holding that Office in 1878, afterwards
became lieutenant governor; and Mr..
MERRIAM, Bhe speaker of 1887, is now
governor. The Office is great stepping
stone to future glories, and Mr.. NOR
GAN, as young and ambitious man,
must have had due appreciation of this.
Col. GRAVES probably realizes by this
time that his success makes him politi-
cally stronger with his own people than
he was in the st. Cloud congressional
convention of last June.

WATER IN MAINE.

1t is gratifying to learn that the leg
islature of Maine is still courageously
struggling to make water more familiar
as beverage in that state. For thirty-SiX
years Maine has enjoyed prohibition,
and each legislature in that time has
exhausted its ingenuity in devising
measures for eXpunging from its bor-
ders every element calculated to tangle
the legs. The present legislature has
elected Col. Dow, the son of the father
of the law, as speaker; and the wisdom
of two generations will now be focused
on the question. 1t is matter of some
surprise that mind so fertile in eX-
pedients as that of Mr.. BLAINE has not
been brought into requisition to find a
favoring solution of the old conundrum
not solved in Maine, docs prohibition

West FOrty-third street, went on strike
this morning because the firm would not
restore the old rate of wages and prom
ise that there should be no more reduc-
tiOns. The members of the firm say
that the reduction was necessary, and
that they lost money last year and de-
sired to make profit this year. About

the strikers and still remain at work.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Between 800 and
400 girl feather workers employed in the

Co. went on strike to-day because the
firm refused to adopt the scale of wages
submitted to them short time ago by

a number of her associates i'll the room
desired to attend the funeral. Overseer
Crane refused permission, and two
weapers, very intimate friends of the de-
ceased, left looms and attended the GER
emOny. On their return to the mill
they were discharged. The other oper-
atiyeS demanded their reinstatement,
and on the refusal of their request left
the mill. The weaving department is

A FAVORING GUST.

There is a good deal of encourage
ment for the ladies who want to vote to
be gathered in spots. Kansas has given
them the right to vote at municipal elec-
tions and hold eity.ofices. Probably,
however, this does not include the police
department.. In the legislature of Ne
braskaa similar measure has been in
troduced, and will be strongly pressed.
The Dakota Solons are about ready to
succumb to the pressure of female argu-
ment, and it is probable that similar
ambition will be felt in this state. Fair
Nands in the East are still colliding over
the achievement of the 10000 in Boston.
They not only voted all the law allowed;
but good many hundred, with honest
thoughtlessness, no doubt, managed to
get in as many votes as the men did. and
