A naval Sensation.

WASHINGTON, February 14.-The
Star has the following from private
advices, received at the navy depart
ment: 1t would appear that the ar
rival of the U. s. steamer Enterprise,
from Europe, will be the signal for a
sensation IN navy circles. This vessel
IS under command of Commander r
w. McCalla, upward of seventy men
The letters referred to, state they have
deserted from time to time, unable to
bear what they consider the captains
harshness and there is rumOr of his
having struck one man with his
sword and injured him severely. En-
sign Kline and Chief Engineer Ent.
wistle are now under the matches,
under suspension for offenses, await
ing the arrival of the ship home,
when there will be at least two court
martials. Kline's Offense, it is stated
was sleeping on watch" and "deny
ing it," Engineer Entwistle remOn-
strated with the captain for using
language which he considered objec-
tiOuable.

Governor Larrabee's Message.


DIES MONIES, Feb. 14.-Gov. LARA
bees message to the legislature urges
the adoption of the Australian ballot
system, and that women bspermitted
to vote at the municipal elections. He
deals at great length with the railroad
question and urges the adoption OF
appliance to reduce to minimu I'M
I" danger to employees in making up
trains, etc, an that no more trains
be run on Sunday than are absolutely
necessary. The railroads should give
more attention to the improvement
of their property and should be COM
PEELED to do away with all wOOder
bridges; ailrOai trusts and like comb =
nations are condemned. The governor
dwells considerable length on tn
question of prohibition. He does no
believe that the high license policy,
or the one which he says, will hav,
only respectable saloons in existence
will ever be sanctianed by the people
of Iowa. The "Gilded Saloon" h.
considers far more dangerous than the
"squalid, Outlawed whiskey dive I"
He then enters into a long argument
against the licensing of saloons il
any form.

The Siberian Horror--Czar Scared.
New YORK, February IA Paris
dispatch says: Further particulars OF
the Siberian horror have been re-
ceived and show that the cruelties
were worse than first reported. 1t
now appears that Nine. st. Hida has
younger sister, 16 years old, who
went to Siberia to look after her COM
fort. Arriving there, she had the
misfortune to please the eye of the
director of the prison. She was de-
tanned by him upon n trumped up
charge of cOnniving at Nine. St
Hida's attempted escape, and
became the victim of his bru
talIty. She was subjected to
such atrOciOus treatment as to cause
her death. Soon after, Nine. st. Hida,
indignant and terror stricken by this
awful event vehemently denounced
the outrage. In doing this she at
tracted the atten ton of the director
who subjected her to the same afro
ciOus results and vile treatment, which
lad her to suicide. This has inspired
the anarchists with new vigor. Upon
learning the particulars and realizing
the universal protest and violent feel
ing the case would arouse
the Gar dispatched an officer to
Siberia to replace the director, and
ordered that official to report at st.
Petersburg.

BIG CUT TO rHE SOUTH.
The Rate War Extending As Far South
as Galveston.

CHICAGO, April 21.--The fight against
the missouri Pacific started some time
ago by the Rock Island and Atchlson, but
which died "a bornln'" has been care
full y considered by the Kansas City lines,
and unless plans are disarranged will be
opened by the Atchison Iext week, the
Initial step on the program to be taken
by the Atchlson on the quotation of So
rate from Kansas City to Galveston. the
present rate being $25 80 on first class and
Slo.oO second class. The rate is purely
retalatory for what the Rock Island
Atchlson and Burlington claim was a
"anton cut OF the rate to Denver. The
cut hurt the Atchlson especially, as it had
an immense local traffic which was prac-
tlcalIy wiped out by the Missouri Pacific
reduclngthe $3.50 rate to $50.
The cases are reversed on the Calves
ton lines, the Atchison estimating that
While 1t vas losing $4,000 by the reduc.
tlon to 70, the Missouri Pacific would
lose over $1,000 900. The other Denver
lines are confident the Atchison cut will
bring the Missouri Pacific to terms and
induce 1t to agree not only to an advance
IN the Denver rates, but to becoming a
member OF the proposed organization.
The question of the Missouri Pacific is
now the one thing preventing the forma-
ton OF these associations, or all Chicago
railroad men are mistaken. They have
also taken the stand that no advance in
rates can be made before an association
to take the place of the Inter State Com
merce Railway association is formed, and
all will eagerly back the Trans Missouri
lines in trying to force the Missouri Pa
citic to Join.

ADJOURNMENT TALK.
Speaker Reed Favors an Early Adjourn
ment of Congress.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Hoar
has expressed the opinion that congress
vail be in session until about September
|. Speaker Reed sees no reason why ad-
Journment can not he had by June /
These two opinions represent fairly the
difference between the views of the sena-
tors and the members of the house.
Mr. Reed is of opinion that the most
popular thing this congress can do ia TO
put through the several measures that
have the Endorsement of the party and
the people, adjourn as soon as possible
and gohome. An understanding has been
arrived at between the leaders of the
house on this program, and al atempt il
being made to carry t out.
A different feeling prevails in the SEN
ate, and that body will present serious CD.
position to the program of the house.
There Is evident disposition on the part
OF the Democratic minority in the senate
TO throw every possible obstacle in the
way OF legislation.
Not few Republican senators have
been looking around for some method of
escaping the threatened obstruction of
business. One remedy suggested is the |
of the senate rules so as to in |
'oduce the stoppage of debate under "the
previous question" There is now no
such thing in the senate as the "preyious
question:" and debate is consequently un-
limited.

Land Decision.

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-First Assistant
Secretary Chandler to-day made decision
IN the timber culture contest case of Stan.
leys Chinn against Gustavas A. NJ Cage.
The land in question is located in the
Denver land district, and the appeal was
taken by Chnn from the decision of the
commissioner OF the general land office of
August IT, 1883, dlsmissing his contest
against Cages entry. Chinn alleges AS
the basis OF his contest that Cage did not
comply with the law as to the planting
and cultivation of trees Exception is also
taken to certrin proceedings in connection
with the taking OF testimony while the
case was before the local officers. The
assistant secretary, however, finds for
Cage on both points and therefore dis,
misses the appeal.

CHICAGO, April 2l-Al lines EXCEPT
the Alton in the southwestern division Of
the Western Freight association met in
