ment or Justice.
The annual report Of Attorney-Gene
Miller just made public gives a detailed
statement Of business of the United States
Supreme Court and Court Of Claims and Of
all the judicial proceedings during the last
fiscal year in which the United States was 9
party. y y
The aggregate number Of suits now
neidine In the Court Of Claims Is about
i4OO0, without regarding the great number
of suits involving many millions OF dollars
in special jurisdictions, and the French
Spoliation Claims. The claims alone now
bending are about 5000 in number, and esti-
mated upon the basis of amounts claimed In
cases tried earlier in their history will
aggregate at least $400, ,000,000. These
claims are now carefully examined. The
evidence, largely to be found in the South
and In the Confederate archives Is carefully
searched out and rigidly scrutinized, with
the result that comparatively few OF these
end in judgments against the Government.
During the last year, under the general
Jurisdiction Of the court, claims amounting
to almost 81, 900 have been disposed OF.
In these cases the amount recovered has been
about $4,000. Claims against the District
of Columbia have been adjusted by the De-
partment to the extent of $3.50, 600, resulting
in judgments Of only about S45, 900. or the
war claims tried, the amount claimed was
nearly 81, ,OOO, 900, and in these cases findings
have been made for claimants only for
S103, 900.
The ATTORNEY General recommends the
building Of United States jails to hold the in
creasing number Of .>r'soners.

HAWAII'S KING HERE,
Kalakaua Arrives at San Francisco in
Search Of Health.

The United States steamer Charleston,
with King Kalakaua of Hawaii on board,
entered the harbor at San Francisco, Cal,
at II o'clock few mornings ago. The
United States steamer Swatara met the
Charleston and saluted her-as did the forts
afterward-accompany the Charleston
to her moorings. Colonel McFarlane
Chamberlain toKing Kalakaua, said that the
King visited California for the benefit Of his
health and his eyesight. The King, he added
would probably remain in California five or
six weeks, but would not so East. The King is
accompanied only by Colonel McFarlane
and few servants.
Prior to leaving Honolulu, Kalakaua issued
proclamation designating Princess Liluok-
a:am as regent. The Charleston and the
Swatara again fired a royal salute as the
King left the ship. Upon arriving at the
wharf he was received by General
Gibbon, commanding the Division Of
the Pacific, and Consul General
Mckinley, of Hawaii. A battalion of United
States cavalry was drawn up in line, facing
the wharf. Great crowds of people sur
rounded the landing-place. King Kalakaua
Immediately entered carriage and was
driven to the Palace Hotel, where recep-
tion was given him, which was attended by
Governor Waterman, Mayor Pond, repre-
sentatives OF the commercial organizations
and a number Of citizens.

a REMARKABLE CASE.
Both Legs of a Woman Broken by
Muscular Contraction.

Both Legs of a Woman Broken by
Muscular Contraction.
On recent morning few minutes before
noon, while sitting in her room talking, Mrs.
J. Harry Brent, of Paris. Fly, felt the mus.
cles of her right leg suddenly contract with
such force as to break the limb just below
the hip joint. The children were badly
frightened by the noise the bone made in
breaking, and ran for a doctor, who quickly
arrived. Before he could do anything for
the suffering woman, however, the muscles
of her left leg contracted severely, and in q
few minutes it had broken exactly like the
other.
Her sufferi1gs were intense, and it was
feared that she would die. Mrs. Brent
is about forty years old, and has been in ex-
cellent health until within the past few days
when she has complained Of slight stiffness
In her joints like rheumatism. She is the
wife of Judge Brent, who was prominent
candidate last summer for Judge Of the Su.
perior Court. She belongs to a wealthy and
aristocratic family, and is one of Kentucky's
most popular society ladies.
o Leading physicians at Paris, KY, say this
is one Of the most remarkable cases ON rec.
ord; that while limbs have been broken be.
fore by muscular rheumatism, there has
never been a casa recorded in which a person
comparatively we'll, as was Mrs. Brent was
Q victim Of this misfortune.

CRUSHED At WORK.
Half a Score of Men Perish
Terribly.
Buried Under a Crumbling Fur
mace at Joliet, Ill.

The blast furnace known as No. Q, a part
Of the Joliet OILY Steel Company's plant,
gave way at noon the other day and fell to
the ground while twenty men were at work
upon 1t. Nine men were killed. Their
names are as follows:
STAINS Fasmeck, top filler; Neils Larson,
bottom filler; Theodore Larson, bottom filler;
Gus Loosa, eager; Frank Miller, bottom
filler; John Peterson, rigger; Thomas Swan
Late that night the body Of an unknown
man was found.
Those fatally injured are: August Diremer,
chest crushed; Patrick Kilcullen leg crushed:
q. Lind, badly crushed; Oscar Weinberg,
hurt about the head.
Five others were seriously hurt. The cause
Of the accident was the giving way Of the
columns which support the furnace and the
consequent collapse Of the great two hum
dred ton retort.
The blast had been blown out and the msrr
were at work on the inside taking out the
brick lining preparatory to reliningit when
the crash came. Thousands of men, women
and children rushed to the scene as soon as
the disaster became known, and the police
had hard work keeping the people back while
the rescuers were at work.
When the furnace collapsed there were
eleven men on the inside, six at the bottom
and five on top. The furnace carried with IL
the blowpipes and roof of the casting shetland
buried itself in the earth 20 deeply that tho
work of rescue was exceedingly difficult.
Hundreds Of men offered their services and
the work began at once, Superintendent
Pettigrew directing the workers. Several
physicians were on hand promptly, but left
in few moments for the hospital upon
learning that there was little hope for the
men who had been working upon the inside
Of the retort.
One man, who had been working on top,
was carried down, but the others were
thrown Off when the fall came and thus es-
capped instant death. OF the nine wounded
four were working on the outside and were
struck by flying pieces Of iron.
AL the wounded were promptly carried to
the hospital and everything possible done for
them. Hundreds Of women and children.
relatives and friends Of the victims crowded
around the hospital and clamored for ad-
mittance with the most pitiful appeals.
In the meantime the work Of rescuing the
bodies from the wrecked retort was going
on, but owing to the manner in which tho
iron casing was crushed and bent it was
difficult to get at the bodies Finally an en-
trance was effected, and during the afternoon
four corpses were reached. All were horrt.
bly, crushed and mangled, some OF them be-
yond recognition.
Great masses of brick and iron had fallen
upon them, and death must have been In
stantaneous. Later in the evening the res
cuers succeeded In getting out another body.

ON THE RAMPAGE.
1t Takes Twenty-four Shots to Kill a
Turbulent Elephant.

1t Takes Twenty-four Shots to Kill a
Turbulent Elephant.
Old Chief the big vicious elephant that
has been bound with log chains several years
in the Cincinnati Ohio Geological Garden,
broke his chains the other night and began
a general work of destruction. He caught
up a dog and with one sweep Of his
trunk hurled him to death against the roof
of the house. He then tore his own house to
splinters, and was proceeding to make gen.
eral ruin of the garden when Superintendent
Stephens attempted to kill him. Sharpshoot-
ers were procured, and they fired at him
with Springfield muskets. The first shot
brought him to his launches, and ten other
shots were fired into him without apparent
effect.
In spite of eleven forty-five calibre bullets
fired into his head, the vicious elephant was
alive and apparently well next morning.
The theory is that the bullets fattened on his
skull, but did not penetrate it.
The Superintendent Of the Geological
Gardens succeeded that evening in killing
Chief. The first ball was sent in the direction
of his heart. Itapparently produced no eject.
The second was aimed at his head, behind and
near the ear. This was effectual, and in
few seconds the animal was dead, but not
until after eleven more shots we're fired,
making the thirteenth which, with eleven
the night before, make twenty-four shots in
all

A VICTIM OF LYMPH.
A Consumptive's Death Due to the
Oyerzealousness of German Doctors.

A Consumptive's Death Due to the
Overzealousness of German Doctors.
The assertion of certain American ply
sicians that the German doctors are too
much inclined to precipitate the cure of lung
tuberculosis, is in part confirmed by the
case Of Hermann Fender, who died at
Gerhardts Clinical Hospitafin in Berlin, Ger
many, after the incubation, from heart
failure.
Fender was feverish when he entered the
hospital. The first dose administered con-
sisted Of two milligrames upon which no re-
action took place. After the second dose Of
three milligrames his temperature rose four
teen degrees without abating while his breath
ing became hourly more difficult.
According to Professor Gerhsrdt the man
should never have been subjected to the
tt;;:.--::5le ordeal of Koch's incubation.
In the consumptive ward Of the Noabit Hos
pital, which contains $50 beds, only five are
unoccupied.
: Two American doctors Loomis and
,Ouimby, have received from Professor Berg
man a portion of the lungs of a man who had
died Of consumption after incubation. They
will hold an autopsy on the lungs with the
hope of learning the real effects producei by
the lymph.
