FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
Fears That a Wealthy Man In Montana
Has Been Murdered.

Fears That a wealthy Man in Montana
Has Been Murdered.
HELENA (Mont), February 23d.-The
continued absence of o. G. Rinker, the
utter failure of all attempts to trace him
from Helena, and the chain of suspicious
circumstances connected with his disap-
pearance, all serve to confirm the opinion
held by the family that he must have been
the victim of foul play. There is no cause
tor his absence and his affairs are in good
shape. He had been working at his stone
quarry, three or four miles east of town, all
winter, and the day before he disappeared
had been paid off for contract he had
with the Helena smeter to furnish lime
stone for the works. 1t is known that he
had between $500 and $500 on his person.
Mr.. Rinker, while working at The stone
quarry, spent the nights in q lonely cabin
on his land. 1t is possible that he went to
his cabin and was followed by some
one who knew that he had money with
him and there murdered. The place lies
in the foothills on the old stage road to
Montana City. and is unfrequented. so that
even in broad daylight a man might be
waylaid, robbed and made away with with
out any one being the wiser. The hills in
the vicinity are fnll of old shafts, drifts and
prospect holes, the remains of mining op-
erations. where it would be an easy matter
to secrete the body of a man. Searching
parties are now out securing the mills, and
their return is anxiously awaited. Certain
guarded hints have been thrown out by
suspicious characters that such fate over
took Rinker, and it is not impossible that
a few arrests may be made to-day or to NOR
row in connection with the case.

The Test of German Politics-What the
Recent Election Results Mean.

The Test of German Politics-What the
Recent Election Results Mean.
CLEVELAND (O.), February 23d.-Msjor
Kaufman, editor of the Auzeiger and life
long student of German politics, talking to-
day about the recent elections in Germany,
said the great victory of the Socialists is
due to Bismarck and the anti-Socialistic
law. The law first made in 1876 expired
by limitation in two years, and has been
renewed every two years since. at the re-
quest of the Government. The natural
conquences of such law followed its en-
forcement. Men expelled from their homes
went from place to place agitsting, and so
the expulsion clause helped to spread So
cialistic ideas. -
In Germany the lot of common man =
to pay taxes, serve as soldier and keep his
mouth shut. The Socialists want to do
away with the army, and claim that if they
succeed to power there will be no war.
1t is easy to imagine how such an argu-
ment will work upon the classes who fur
nish men for war and always live under
the threatening rumors of war. Working
men are also told that when Socialists at
tain to power they will not have to work so
hard nor so long.
These arguments have won thousands
and thousands OF votes. The result o. the
election will be that instead of eleven men,
bers in the Reichstag the Socialists will
have thirty-fve and be entitled to represen-
tation on all committees.
The anti-Socialist law will fail; they will
have liberty TO organize openly and the
opportunity will be given them to develop
the programme of the future.
Bismarck or the Emperor will try get a
majority by making concessions to the
Catholics, but the Government is really in
predicament The Emperor can dissolve
the Reichstsg if he desires, but he must
figure on new election, and l think the
result will be that Germany will drift more
and more into a Parliamentary Govern
ment, and that the rights of the Crown
will be lessened.
There is no danger that the Socialistic
party will become ruling one, but the re-
suit of the elections means that Germany
will be more literally governed, and that
the working classes will probably be bene-
flied.
The Socialistic party of Germany is not
composed of Anarchists; they are as Bit
terly opposed to anarchy, as are other
people.

BLOCKADE LOSSES.
What the Bad Weather Has Cost the

Is. F. Examiner, February 2Sdl
Messfs. Hopkins. Lansing and Towne
look glum. They have been figuring ON
the losses sustained by the Southern Pacific
Company SO far this winter, sud the ac-
count is so large that even if the company
earns in round numbers this year the large
sum of S35 ,000,000 the same as it has done
in the past two years, there will De an
actual deficit OF almost round million.
In one way or another the company has
lost up TO date 81 100000 OF this amount
S3S0000 will be required to build an en-
tirely new roadbsd for distance of fifteen
miles on the Oregon line in Cow Creek
canyon, Oregon. The extra labor employed
on this road and the Central Pacific so FAR
this winter has cost $23s 600.
The traffic that has been diverted from
the Central Pacific amou3ts to $3.50 900.
The loss of traffic on the Oregon line
amounts to 100000. The local traffic for
December, January aid February is now
100000 behind what it was for the same
period last year. The damage sustained by
the Los Angeles line aggregates $3.50 900. of
which S500,000 is being paid out for the
construction of o new roedbed for a dis
tance of twenty miles in the Soledad can
yon.
From present indications it seems almost
certain that the Oregon line will remain
closed until April 1st, entailiDg an addi-
tienal loss of $4,000 in traffic and $50, 900
for extra labor, which will swell the total
loss up to..S1 100000

MARY WASHINGTON.
A Monument to the Memory of tn
Mother of the Father of His Country.

A Monument to the Memory of the
Mother of the Father of His Country.
New YORK, February 23d.-A serious
effort has been begun among the society
women of New York, Washington and
other cities of the East to raise the money
necessary to complete the unfinished and
neglected monument to Mary Washington,
the mother of the Father of Isis Country.
The present condition of the monument,
the cornerstone of which was laid by
President Jackson in 1888 with Masonic
ceremonies and appropriate addresses, is
certainly subject of commiseration. Ac-
cording to the original plan of the designer
it was to be q pyramidai shaft, supported
by a pedestal of four squares, with two
capitals on each side and two esgles
perched at the top of the pedestal and the
base of the shaft, while on the very apex,
on the pillar or shaft itself, was bust of
Washington in bronze or marble, sur
mounted by an eagle with outstretched
wings in the act of laying on the brow of
Washington wreath of laurel.
Not even the pedestal was completed
when notification came to stop. The
base is much diispidated. Whatever in
scriptiou there may have been is effaced by
the hand of time Visitors TO the battle
field of Fredericksburg look at the ruin,
scarcely knowing what it is. Its sides have
been mu,ilated BY relic hunters; the shaft
lies where it fell when the order came to
cease work, half imbedded in the soil.
There is touching romance attached to
the partial building of this monument. In
the first year of Jackson's administration a
beautiful Virginia girl was wooed and
won by itch NoTtherner. The lover,
who was devoted, begged his be-
trothed to command his fortune
for any object she desired, and the
lady, like good patriot, suggested that he
build a monument to the memory of Mary,
the mother of Washington. whose remains
had till that time rested in an obscure spot
unmarked by any monumental tablet. He
consented, and orders were given for the
monument. The site was chosen and the
work well advanced, when for some unex-
planned reason the lady married another
and the Tilted man, to whom she was en-.
gagged, on hearing the news, Immediately
ordered that all work on the monument
be stopped, and stopped it was.

An Old ana Pretty custom Revived by a
New York Club.
New YORK, February 23d.-The Harvard
Club of New York celebrated its twenty
fifth anniversary Friday night at the Hotel
Brunswick. The event of the evening was
the presentation to the club by its Presi-
dent, Francis O. French, of loving cup of
solid silver. In offering the cup to his
comrades, he alluded to the anniversary
and said:
with your permission / will revive,
upon this occasion, the ancient ceremony
of passing the loving cup"
The cup is massive one of solid silver,
adorned with the insignia of Harvard Col
lege and the name of Emanuel College,
Cambridge. from which john Harvard was
graduated.
The cup was filed to the brim with
champagne and passed around the room
amid the "'Rsh, 'rahn of the feasters, until
every man had taken draught. President
Eliot himself began the ceremony by TAX
ing a long sip from the cup. With coffee
and cigars the speeches came.
President Eliot said, smong other things,
that the University had never had so pros
porous year as the last in all its history.
President Seth Low of Columbia College
was received with great enthusiasm, which
grew positively uproarous when he said
that the blue and white OF Columbia and
the crimson of Harvard made the colors of
the strongest Union on the globe.

SUGAR TRUSTS.
The spreckels Family Will Continue to
Fight Them.

PHILADELPHIA, February 23d. = Claus
Spreckels, a son of G. A. Spreckels, said to-
day that refinery would not be built at
Bound Brook, but established at the pres
ent refinery on the Delaware river, as that
was the most advantages site. Ten acres
have been purchased in that locality and
the boiler house is already built. 1t will
accommodate both refineries.
Those establishments, with the one in
San Francisco, aided by the refineries who
have not joined the trust, will be able to
supply all the sugar consumers need.
Spreckels says the opponents of the trust
will win; that the lstter's establishments
are idle, and have to be supported by the
few that are working; that the opposition
will continue the fight as business de-
mands it. Father has made this mat
ter the fight of his life, and we are agreed
as to the continuation of that policy

plans to legally resist the removal of the
cattle from the Cherokee strip under Presi-
dent Harrison's recent proclamation. The
Cherokees claim, the land embraced in the
strip 6,000 900 acres, in fee simple. They
claim that since 1888 they have been leasing
it without molestation from the Govern
ment, and that the United States has no more
right now than they had several years ago
to annul the lease to the cattle syndicate.
Some of the lessees are reported to be op-
posed to carrying on legal fight with the
Government, and others are urging that re-
sistance be made. Chief Mayes is of the
opinion that the Cherokee Nation should
not yield without struggle, inasmuch as
such action would be construed as an ad-
mission that the Cherokee title to the strip
was invalid

ment to Prevent Persecution.
New YORK, February 23d-The unre-
lentirg warfare against the Hebrew race in
Russia, and the intermittent anti Semitic
crusades in Germany and other countries,
have led to proposals for meeting of the
prominent representative Hebrews, to
which, it is understood, few Americans OF
that race will also be invited, at Amster.

ality, during the coming summer.
The principal measure to be discussed

throughout the world.
Baron Hirsch has promised to attend if
such Congress takes place. The appar-
emily implacable attitude of Russia towards

BLAINE AND PAuNoEForE.
1t is Said They Have Settled the Behring
Sea Controversy.


CHICAGO, February 23d-A Daily Ne,cs
Washington special asserts that Secretary
Blaine and British Minister Pauncefote
have reached an amicsble agreement on the
Behring Sea controversy, and that the
QUO stjon of damages sustained by British
vessels will be submitted to arbitration.
The details Of the agreement cannot be OBJ
tanned, but it is known that the United
States will not under any circumstances
permit foreigners to catch seals in the dis
puted waters during the seasons when our
citizens are prohibited from doing so.
The dispatch adds that foreign powers
never had been formally notified before
that these waters are considered a closed
sea and foreign fisheries had no nominal
liberty to enter the waters from which they
not been formally prohibited. Our
-es. therefore, were illegal, and the
conclusion is drawn that in the agreement
Blaine comedies this fact, and Pauncefote
comedies the right of the United States to
prohibit poaching hereafter. Therefore the
United States will pay what damages may
be assessed by arbitration and England
guarantees there shall be no more trespass-
iny
