CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 29.-Every piece
of fire apparatus in the Chicago fire de-
partment moved last night From SUM-
down until the break of day men, ami
mails and machinery were active. The
first fire was in Shufeldt's distillerv,
early in the eve. ing. John Wendt, an
employee, let down his lantern into
tank of naphtha and an explosion fol-
lowed which. shook the buildings in the
vicinity. The man himself was terribly
mangled and lies dying at an hospital.
Two hours later a fire at Canal and
Madison streets, in a very inhammable
district, destroyed $4,000 worth of
property and caused the mangling of a
man and woman by a fire engine on it's
way to the fire.
An incendiary fire next occurred in
some harms in the stock yards district
near the packing houses, the loss how
ever proving light. Next a fire in fac
tory on KinZie Street, near Clark, did
$4,000 damage.
Then there came wild cry from the
vicinity of State and Ontario streets. A
woman ran screaming down the street
'ad only in her night clothes. The
ouse at 2S3 Ontario Street was burning
and dozen lives were in peril.
After two or three false alarms from
distant points, the Ogden Flats. at Og-
den and Warren avenues, were found
to be on fire. A score of families were
being driven into the street half naked.
A colored cook in her room on the top
floor had get the building on fire.

DEFENSES OF THE NATION.
Armament for Defenseless Coasts and

The report of the secretary of war exhibits
several gratifying results attained during the
year by wise and unostentatious methods. The

for which both Congress and the department
have long been seeking remedy has Teen re-
duced during The past year "a per cent, and for
the months OF August and September, during

the same months of 1889.
The results attained by q reorganization and
consolidation OF the divisions having oh rye of

soldiers ire very remarkable. This change
was effected in July, 1889, and at that time
there were 1864 cases AWaitins attention,

concur in the recommendations of the sec
rotary that adequate and regular appropria-
tions be continued for cOast defense works and
ordnance. Plans have been practically agreed
upon and there be no good reason
for delaying the execution of them, while the
defenseless state of our great seaports furnishes
an urgent reason for wise expedition.
The encouragement that has been extended to
the militia of the states, generally and most ap-
propri4tely designated the National Guard
should be continued and e. larged. These mill
tary organizations constitute, in large sense
the army of the United States. while about five
sixths of the annual cost of their maintenance
is betrayed by the States.

several tribes OF Indians.
The report of the secretary of the interior ex-
hlbits with great fullneSs and clearness the
vast work of that department and the salts
by him are earnestly commended to the consid-
GRAFTON of Congress, though they cannot all be
given particular mention here.
The several acts of Congress looking to the re-
duction of the larger Indian reservations to the
more rau1d settlement of the Indians upon in
dividua1 allotments, and the restoration to the
public domain of lands in excess OF their needs,
have been largely carried into effect, SO far as
the work was cOnfided TO the executive. Agree
mentS have been concluded since March 4, 1890,
involving the ceSsiOn to the United States of
about Ia, 5000 acres Of land. These contracts
have, as required by law. been submitted to
Congress for ratification And for the appropria-
with the Sisseton and Wahpeton, Sac and Fox,
Iowa, PottaWattOmies and Absentee Shawnee
and Cnur d Alene tribes have not yet received
the sanction of Congress. Attention IS also
called to the fact that the appropriations made
in the case of the Sioux Indians have not COW
cred all the stipulated payments. This should
be promptly corrected If an agreement is con-
firmed all of its terms should be complied with
without delay, and full appropriations should
be made

out in the administration of the land Office. No

WAR ON STANDARD OIL.
The Ohio Authorities Preparing to Can
Gel It's Charter.

The Ohio Autho rites Preparing to Can
eel Its Charter.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 29.-Atty. Gen.
Watson has filed in the supreme court
an amended petition in the case of Ohio
VS.. the Standard Oil Company, to revoke
its charter. This action is on the ground
that the Standard has extended beyond
its charter and merged into another
corporation. Judge Kline, of Cleve-
land. consented to the filing of the
amendments, in order to give the COM
pany till January to answer.
The amended petition alleges that
there are now in existence only of the
original $4,000 shares Of Standard Oil
stock; that by the agreements entered
into by the directors of the Standard
and trustees of the trust the former
conveyed to the latter 81, 99S shares OF
stock, and the trustees in return imme-
diately issued an equal number of Ger.
tifcates of the Standard Oil trust. The
petition further sets up that none of the
nine trustees of the monopoly are resi-
dents of Ohio.
Another allegation used in the Pc
tition to show that the Standard is not
now conducting business as provided in
its charter is that instead of the stock
holders receiving the net earnings they
get their proportion from the trust on
the Standard certificate.

arrived at Hoboken at $50 o'clock this
morning, on the North German Lloyd
steamer Aller from Bremen. There wa.
assembled on the pier waiting to
greet him a couple of dozen friends
Most of them were prominent Wall
Street men, and among them were sew
eral of the North American Company's
directors. None Of them would express
any opinion as to what Mr. VillaSd's
future plans might be, but all of them
said they had no fear but that he would
right matters in short time.
Mr.. Willard on reaching the pier was
questioned about the prospects of
Northern Pacific and the North Ameri-
can Company. II don't know" he re-
piled. "I've had an excellent time in
Europe, enjoyed myself immensely and
had fine voyage. That is all have to
say at present"
Nothing whatever could be elected
from Mr.. Willard regarding the financial
7ntanglements in which his railroad and
other enterprises are involved. He
would not even say where he intends
to stop, saying that he did not know
whether be would go to a hotel or to
his country home.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 1.-Presi-

To THE SENATE AND House OF REPRESENTA-
TIvEs: The reports of the several executive de-
partments which will be laid before Congress in

atoms of the government for the last fiscal year.
Only the more important incidents and results.
and chiefly such may be the foundation OF
the recommendations l shall submit, will be re-
ferred to in this annual m essage.
The vast and increasing business of the gov
eminent has been transacted by the several de-
partments during the year with faithtulness,
energy and success. The revenues, amounting
to above $3.50, 000, 600. have been called and dis
bursed without revealing. so far as can uscer-
tain, single case of defaleation embeZzle-
ment. An earnest effort has been made to slim

the work done by them has almost wholly es-
capped unfavorable criticism. / speak of these
matters with freedom because the credit of this
good work is not mine, but is shared by the
heads of the several departments with the great
body of faithful officers and employees who serve
under them. The closest scrutiny of Congress
is invited to all the methods of administration
and to every item of expenditure

ADMISSION OF TERRITORIES TO STATEHOOD.
Mormonism a Bar Against Utak-Oth-
err New States.

The increasing Numbers and influence of the
non Mormon popul ton in Utah observed
with satisfaction. The recent letter of MILFORD
Woodruff, president of the Mormon Church, in
which he advised his people 'to refrain from
contracting any marriage forbidden by the laws
of the Lar d " has attracted wide attention. and
it is hoped that its influence will be highly
beneficial in restraining mira actions of the laws
of the United States. But the fact should not
be overlooked that the doctrine or belief of the
church that o,ygamous marriages are rightful
and supported by divine revelation remains IN
changed. President Woodruff does not re-
nounce the doctrine but reiralns from teaching
IT, and advises against the practice of it be-
cause the law is against it. Now, it is quite
true that the law should not attempt to deal
with the faith or belief of any one but it is
quite another thing, and the only safe thing, so
to deal with the territory of Utah that those
who believe polygamy to be rightful shall not
have the power to make it lawful
The admission of the states of Wyoming and
Idaho TO the Union events full of interest
and congratulation, not only to the people of
those states, now happily endowed with full
parti patton in our privileges and responsible
Ties, but TO all our people Another belt of
states stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
