Important Changes In Procedure Before
the Supreme Tribunal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-An important
ange in its rules which the United
States supreme court made before adj
journment for February is attracting a
great deal of attention from lawyers
throughout the country. and some OF
them seem to be in doubt as to its pur-
pose. The effect of the modification of
the rules made by the court is to COM
pei the docl1eting of each case brought
before it within thirty days from the time
the appeal is taken from the decision of
the lower court. All appeals. writs of
error and citations must be made re-
turna BILE to the supreme court by the
lower courts within this period Of thirty
days unless for some good reason a spe-
cial order is made in any case.
Heretofore many months might inter
vene between an appeal and its docket
ing on the records of the court, advan-
tage being taken of this privilege in
cases where the principal object of the
appeal was to delay a final decision.
The attention of the court was directed
to this state of affairs by the proceed
ings IN the Jugiro electrocution case,
and it was for the special purpose
of meeting these habeans corpus cases
that the new rule was framed.

MRS. MARY e. LEASE.

What She Had to Say Mt the Woman's Ma
tiOnal Council.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Mrs. Mary E..
Lease, of Kansas, appeared before the
woman's national council here and
spoke of the condition of affairs in
Kansas and referred to Mr.. ingalls, as
''the man that we women of Kansas
had the great pleasure of defeating"
The subject assigned to Mrs Lease
was "Women in the Farmers Alliance"
She said, however, that the subject
could not be intelligently discussed or
understood until the necessity for the
formation of the Farmers alliance is
first shown. Continuing she said: 1T
must be evident to every intelligent
man and woman to-day that there is
something radically wrong in the affairs
of the nation. Constituencies capital is
robbing manhood of its prime, mothers
of their motherhood and sorrowing
children of sunshine and joy. The
Farmers alliance numbers half a
million who are loyal white ribboners.
and say with thanks to Almighty
God that our alliance representatives
are the only men in the councils of the
nation to-day who have not been
elected on liquor platform"

AN IMPERIAL STEW.

Germany Indignant At the Treatment 81
Empress Frederick In Paris-Frencl,
Artists Will Ignore the Berlin Exposition.
PARIS. Feb. 27.-An increased feeling
of anxiety lest any sudden disturbance
should occur here before the Empress
Frederick leaves Paris prevails here and
is reflected in Berlin.
The plan which was looked upon as
settled, by which the French artists
were to exhibit products of their art at
the Berlin exhibition has been
abandoned. Detanle. the French
painter, has finally yielded to
the pressure brought to bear
upon him and to-day announces
that he made mistake in consent
ing to send some of his works to the
German exposition, adding that he feels
upon reflection that it would not be
patriotic to go to Berlin. Detaille also
says that all brother artists who are
Frenchmen will abstain from being
represented at Berlin. The artistic
question outlined by the statements
made by Dctaille and other French
artists is the chief tonic of conversation
throughout Paris AMI the provinces.
BERLIN, Feb. 27.-The Cologne Ga
zette commenting on the conciliatory
overtures which the Emperor William
has made to France. of which the visit
of ex-Empress Frederick is regarded as
a proof, says: 1.-THE French have .
right to think Of revenge, but they have
no right to injure the feelings Of the
head of this empire and his mother by
insults that could be expected only Of
scoundrels. The German people feel
deeply the outrage upon the person of
their emperor, and they have a right to
expect the French people and govern
ment to give ample satisfaction, and to
wipe out the stain upon the honor Of
France by theoretically calling to order
the miserable wretches who have in
suited the ex-Empress Frederick"

REMARKABLE ESCAPE.

Five Emit ombed Victims the Pennsylvania
Mine Disaster Found Alive After Eighteen
Days Suffering.
HAZELTON, Pa, Feb. 24.-After being
eighteen days entombed in the darkness
of mine No. at Evansville, where the
recent disaster occurred, five of the men
were found alive yesterday. Their names
were: John Tomaskusky, Joe Mastusk-
owich. John BernO, Bosco FrinkO and
an unknown Hungarian who was visit
ing John Berno.
These, with the thirteen bodies all
ready found, makes eighteen men-the
exact number given in these dispatches
the day of the accident.
How the rescued men survived is a
miracle. Nothing like it has been known
or heard of in the anthracite coal fields
of Pennsylvania. The searching party,
after the experience in finding Bullock,
Reed, Ball and Smith yesterday, were
more anxious than ever to solve The
problem of the fate of the remaining
five. Not moments time was lost in
the search, but all in vain. No traces
of the unfortunate victims could be
found until late at night.
Superintendent McFarlane and Caleb
Williams were making a search in a
breast of the east gangway of the
north pit last evening when they
were startled to come across the bodies
of the five men lying in various posi-
tions, all huddled together in their efforts
to keep warm. Careful examination re-
vealed the fact that all were alive.
They were SO weak that with one ex-
ception they could not move.
John Tomaskusky' excellent strength
left him in better shape than any of the
rest. and he was able to be moved to
the bottom Of the slope of the first lift
into the engine house. DR.. Doolittle, of
and entered the mine. A large stock Of
blankets was secured and the men
wrapped in them.
Tomaskusky was just strong enough
to raise his head and to look around.
He was carefully carried to the engine
house at the bottom of the first lift and
medical aid given him there. When
spoken to he raised his eyes, look Of
despair passed over his face and he
muttered: "John much sick"
The men will not be brought to the
surface for several days. Careful nurs-
ing will be given them and every effort
put forth to save their lives so that their
terrible tale may be heard. They had
suffered terribly from the pangs Of
hunger and nothing but the hardy con-
stitutions common to their race saved
them. The contents of their din.
ner pals kept them alive for six days.
Then they lived on the oil from their
lamps and bottles. After that was ex-
hausted they drank the dark sulphurous

voters of this town last November by
the board of trustees and was carried
by more than the required two-thirds
majority. An injunction was sued out by
the state to restrain the board from is

on the ground of a want of charter

that the board had the power under the

CONGRESSIONAL MORTALITY.

Many Senators and Representative Pass
Away. Some Under Circumstances Ar-
preaching tho Tragic.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Twelve repre-
sentatives and two senators make mp
the mortality roll of the Fifty-frst
congress. The life of third senator
Hearst, of California-hangs by .
thread. 1t was thought two weeks ago
that he was dying, but he rallied. He
may last until the adjournment New
York has lost three members of her
delegation in this congress. Pennsyl-
vania has lost three. Missouri has lost
two. Six other states have lost one each.
The record began with James n. Burnes,
of Missouri. It ends with Senator
Wilson. of Maryland. The other dead
of the Fifty-frst congress are: Richard
w. Townshend, of Illinois; Edward ].
Gay. of Louisiana; James Laird, of Ne
braska; Samuel S. Cox, of New York;
Newton w. Nutting, of New York; Will
liam d. Kelley. of Pennsylvania; David
WILDER, of New York; Samuel ]. Ran
dali. of Pennsylvania; James P. Walker,
of Missouri; James d. Beck, of Ken
lucky; Lewis Watson, of Pennsylvania,
and James Phelan, of Tennessee.
Several of these deaths occurred un-
der strange conditions. Burnes received
his fatal stroke of apoplexy one after
noon in the house while looking after
an appropriation bill. He never recov-
cred consciousness, and died before
midnight. Senator Beck dropped dead
in the railroad depot almost upon the
spot where President Garfield was
shot He had just alighted from q
train and had told some friends
that he hadn't felt SO well In months.
Representative Watson fell upon the
pavement as he was taking carriage
in front Of his hotel to go to the capitol.
He expired in few minutes. Walker,
of Missouri, had a very brief illness.
An attack of heart disease ended Sena-
tor Wilson's life before his senatorial
associates knew that he was really i'll.
Laird, Townshend, Walker and Phelan
were comparatively young men; Cox,
Randall, Nutting, WILDER, Gay and
Watson were not old. Beck had hardly
begun to show any breaking. Kelley
and Wilson were the only ones in the
fourteen who were looking frail from

TESTING THE TARIFF.

Judge Blodgett Sends the Suit Brousn0 -
Test the McKinley Biu 60 the UnSss0
States Supreme Court.
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Judge BlodgetS
yesterday morning decided the case OF
Marshall Field & Co. against John NJ.
Clarke, collector of customs, involving
the validity Of the Mckinley bill He
said: The best disposition the court
can make of the matter is to affirm the
decision of the appraisers at New York
and allow the case to go directly to the
supreme court. I will say, however,
that the court was much impressed
with the chain of reasoning advanced
by appellant and it might be difficult
for the argument to be met by the other
side. However, the Mckinley bill has
become the operating mechanism
through which the government collects
its duties, and an adverse decision in
this case might seriously disarrange
the existing arrangement of this ser
vice. There should be finding of facts
that this court found the case of suf-
ficient Importance to warrant an appeal
to the supreme court" An appeal will
be prayed at once.
The suit was to recover certain
moneys paid by Marshall Field on i'm
ported woolens and embroideries since
the Mckinley act, which radically in
creased the duties on these goods. Mr..
Field protested against the increase on
the ground that the law was unconsti-
tutional. The importer held that tho
well known fact that the bill As it was
signed by the president was not the
same as the bill passed by congress, be-
cause in engrossing it and preparing it
for the presidents signature the clause
in tobacco rebates had been left out,
rendering the act null and void.

PRIVATE INDEBTEDNESS.
CONSERVATIVE Data Of Indebtedness In Ala,
hama and lows.

Comparative Data Of Indebtedness In ALI,
hanna and lows.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-Superintend-
ent Porter, of the census bureau, has
Just prepared an introduction to the
bulletin on private Indebtedness of in
dividuals and corporations in the United
States In it he says: 1.-THE agents Of
the census Office have overhauled the
records in every state and territory, and
there is now in Washington as result
OF this labor, the abstracts of about
1900, 900 mortgages. According to the
list the Alabama State mortgages in
January, 1890, were ss9, sos, 325 and the
total real estate mortgages in Iowa in
force January l, 1890, was Sos, 034, 957.
The average amount of debt to each
one of the population in Alabama was
$50; in Iowa, S1O4. In 1889 the number
of acres mortgaged in Alabama was
1.744, 400, the total number of acres in
the state 81, 956,6OO per cent rof acres
mortgaged, 5.35. The number of acres
mortgaged in Iowa was 3,240, 2232, the
100000; the per cent. of acres mort
cages, 9.O1. The interest charges in
Alabama range from 10 to 40 per cent.
and from 10 to 90 per cent. Throughout
the south and west and in Iowa con-
tracts often state the debt without in
terest or give lower rate than the true
rate. The average of mortgages with
an allowance for partial payments is
computed to be 2.73 years in Alabama
and 4.94 years iu Iowa.
''By personal inquiry in Alabama as
to the objects in mortgaging real es-
tate, the most prominent ones given
are: Purchase money to buy other land.
business improvements, family exc
penses, family supplies, farm supplies,
to pay borrowed money and to pay for
litigation and lawyer fees; in Iowa,
purchase money, improvements. busi-
ness and farm stock, security for debts,
speculation, litigation, living expenses
and undescribed debts. In an extract
from the report of Mr.. Wright, chair
man of the committee of statistics of
the American economic association, he
gave it as his opinion that the result Of
this inquiry would not vary 8 per cent.
from actual truth. l we'll believe the
variation will not reach per cent.
I'm computing the amount of existing
Indebtedness in two selected or inquiry
counties in Alabama, the total actual
debt on January 1, 1890, was Sl4, 952, O2O;
the total computed debt, SIS, s99. 23O, and
the percentage of error was a.99. In
four selected counties of Iowa the total
actual debt at the same date was S..
45S, lit; the total computed debt, IS, 74S,-
los, and the percentage of error in ex-
cess Of debt was s.24. This would indi-
cate that the plan adopted will yield
both valuable and accurate statistical
results, and this supposition is forth
fed when it is borne in mind that able
statisticians admit that if even the
error should vary from Is to 20 per cent,
the results would still be of incalcula-
BILE value"
