Prizes offered In Quebec for Families OF
Twelve Living Children.
MONTREAL, Jan 26.--The Quebec Legisla-
ture has just passed an oct Of very novel de-
soription. The act, which has now the force Of
law. provides that bounty Of 100 acres OF land
shall hereafter be granted TO every head Of
family OF twelve living legitimate children.
Col. Rhodes the Minister OF Agriculture. who
is one OF the few Ehglishmen In the Legisla-
ture. In proposing the measure said the Quebec
Governments was only continuing an idea In
aukutated by Louis XIv's great Minister. CAL
bert. who granted 800 livres annually to the
father OF every family Of ten children and 400
livres to every father OF twelve children, be-
sides 20 livreB to each youth marrying at 20
and the same to every girl married at 16. The
intention OF the bill was to attach the people to
their nattYe country, and this the Commits
sioner Of Agriculture claimed could best be at
creating family patriomony.,
Premier Mercier. the head OF the Govern.
ment who supported the measure. attributed
the marvellous growth OF the French race in
America to their religious observance Of mar
riaRe as O sacred rite. and declares that the
proposed law was Intended as modest tribute
TO their virtues. The act was passed unani-

A FATAL FALL.
A MILL MAN NAMED KING TUMBLES FROM A
THIRD STORY.
Found Lying on the Sidewalk at One Forty-hve
This Morning and Taken 70 the
Hospital

At quarter Of two o'clock this morning
some ladies and gentlemen returning from
a party at a. j. Schultzes, found a man
lying on the sidewalk at the north end OF
the LaBelle Hall building, at Chap
line and Thrty-first streets Just
as they made the discovery the
people in the house also found one OF the
bOardcrs missing. and came out TO see what
was wrong. as a sound of iingling glass
had created the fear that "A mill man nam
ed King, who had been brought no me in an
intoxicated condition just after midnight,
had fallen from the third
story window OF his room.
A glance at the crushed and groaning mass
Of humanity on the sidewalk showed that
this fear was but too true. and messengers
were at once despatched for Drs. Brannon
and Pipes, while telephone message was
sent for the patrol The physicians soon
arrived on the spot, and Il superficial exam
nation showed that the man was danger
ously hurt, and they ordered his removal 10
the Hospital at once. The patrol
started TO the Hospital at
"a quarter past two, but
frequent stops were necessary in order TO
permit an examination into the condition Of
the patient, who was sinking rapidly, and
the physicians expressed the fear that he
might die before the Hospital was reached
The wounded man came here about two
or three weeks ago, and has been boarding
at Mr.. Carl's. in the LaBelle Hall
building, during most of that time,
and working at the LaBelle mill
as a. laborer His family resides at
Garrison, Pa. He has been drinking
for several days past, and as has been
stated, was found lying drunk on Main
street about midnight or a little later
1t is uncertain whether he fell from the
window while. .fioundering about in the dark
or jumped out intentionally.

FREE COINAGE.
A VOTE THAT SOUNDS THE DEATH KNELL OF
A FEDERAL ELECTION LAW.
The Victory for Free Silver Surprise Even to the
Most Ardent Friends Of Slver-The
Situation on the Reed Federal
Election Law.
Special Telegram to the Register

]
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 1.-THE vic
/ tory for free coinage in the Senate to-day
was a surprise even to the most ardent
| friends of silver. They had not even an
ticipated any such majority, but aside
from the financial signigcance, the vote
sounds the death knell OF any Federal
election law. The result was brought
about by compact between Western and
Southern Senators to stand together in
spite of all onslaughts. This was not a
bargain TO exchange votes that were an
ltagonistic, but an agreement among Sena-
tors believing honestly in the same policy
to support H. Southern Democrats feel
that they are justified in adopting any le-
gitimate method to defeat Federal inter
ference in elections and when Republican
Sen0tors proposed compact on silver il
was accepted.
Senator German, Chairman of the Demo
cratic caucus. says there is no doubt that
the House will pass the Reed federal elec-
tion law, but that it will be killed dead in
the Senate. He SAYS, Under the Reed
regime of new rules it develops upon the
Senate to legislate for the country, the
House no longer counts save as register
of partisan DEGREES, and that the Senate in
its conservatism is caring for the country"
Speaker Reed said tonight that the
House could not assent to the extreme leg
islation of the Senate, and he assumed TO
speaE for the House. But the compact be-
tween the West and South may be stronger
even than Reed. Such Republicans as
Senators Plumb, Mitchell, Wolcott, Teller
and other declare that they will never yield
TO Reed and that they are weary of the
Speakers dictation. They say further,
that should Harrison veto free coinage
bill they will pass it in spite of him. As
the question now stands il promises to split
the Republican party wide open, while the
Democrats stand together almost solidly.
The only Democratic Senators VINO voted
against free silver were Mcpherson, Gray,
and Wilson of Maryland. All the leading
Democrats were for il, while the Republi-
cans are hopelessly divided

RAILROAD TIE-UP.
THE STRIKERS STOP ALL THE WHEELS IN
CLEVELAND.
The Employees Demand More Wages-Thsy Hold a
Meeting and Decide 10 Remain Stead
fSt-600 Men Out Of
Employment

CLEVELAND. O., June ls.--Evcry railroad
in Cleveland is 'tied up and the wheels
of the passenger and mail trains are the
only ones turning this morning What the
outcome will be neither the officials nor the
employees predict, but both regard the stu
alton us serious. Railroad men in all de
partments say that the switchmen must
now either make a success Of the strike and
gain their point or else send a committee 10
the officials with power 10 make such a set
tlement as will insure them the positions
they have vacated The switchmen claim
ed last night that the railroads must listen
TO their demands without delay. or the
yard men in adjacent cities would also
leave work. II is said that the switchmen
at Erie, Dunkirk, Buffalo, and every other
point on the Eastern division Of the Lake
Shore road We're only waiting for word
from Cleveland 10 join in the strike. II
was said also that the recent strike in
Pittsburg had not been fully settled, and
that the yardmen there were anxious 10
again make demands upon their employers.
At a meeting this morning the strikers
decided 10 remain steadfast There are
now 600 men out Of employment.
The effects Of the complete "tie up Of all
the Cleveland railways by the striking
switchmen are beginning 10 be felt by the
business men and manufacturers Of the
city. The manufacturing establishments.
il is said, are short of fuel
and it has been impossible TO supply coal
in quantity to meet anything like the de-
mand since the strike began II coal is
not delivered to the Cleveland Rolling
Mill Co. its mills will be shut down.
Other industrial plants will also be
closed in day or two unless
the the tie up is united The railroad
officials claim that the strike, il success
fully maintained, will throw fully 10000
working people temporarily out of employ
ment II is now the evident intention Of
the railroad TO hold out against the switch
men and 10 place new men upon the 'po-
nics" in the yards
