new ORLEANS LYNCHING.
Il Is Considered by a Committee Of The
Union League Club.

NEW DIRK, April 9.-The Committee on
Political Reform of the Union League Club
tonight submitted long document Oh the
recent killing in New Orleans, which was
adopted. 1t considers the matter gravely
from a judicial standpoint, saying that
while it is highly probable there was q
kind Of rude justice meted out to the vic
Tins, it was, under a Government of law
and order, nothing but murder. The event
cannot be viewed without grave apprehen-
sion. Such examples are contagious and no
enc can tell where the next mob will under
take to correct the failures that are sup
posed to occur in the administration of the
law, nor how many such assaults our sys-
tenn of government will endure.
Attention is then given to the immigration
question, and the document says: 'W have
always bOasted that this land is an asylum
for the oppressed of all nations. For many
years we have been the asylum of the crimi-
nails and paupeTS of all nations. We have
taken in such flood If ignorance, pauper-
ism and crime and clothed it with the full
panoply of citizenship, that Americanism is
is being diluted and assailed in way that
is alarming. All the better elements of
the country are OvertaXed in dealing with
this flood. The time Is pTOpltiOuS TO agItate
these questions before 1t is too late, and see
if something cannot BE- done TO save our
country and Institutions from the peril that
menaces them.

others should be framed. To postpone or

EDMUNDS' SUCCESSOR.
Probabilities That Secretary Proctor Will
Secure the SelatOrShip.

WASHINGTON, April st is learned to-
day on good authority that Secretary Proc
tor has no intention of resisning his office
Immediately. His return from the West to
Washington was caused by personal rea-
son, i'll addition to his desire to see the
President before the latter started on his
tour. He will resume the discharge of the
duties of his office upon his return to Mash-
ington. But if Governor Page, during the
adjournment of the Vermont Legislature,
should conclude to appoint the Secretary to
the United States Senate, to fill the vacancy
caused by Senator Edmunds' retirement, 1t
is stated by the same authority that Proctor
will accept the appointment
New YORK, April 9.-The Tribune's
Rutland (Vt) correspondent says: 81 am
able to state tonight on the highest author
ity that Secretary Proctor is candidate for
the Senate to succeed Senator Edmunds. He
will accept the appointment il it is offered
him by Governor Page. His appointment
would be regarded as a most fitting one by
men of both parties, and his candidacy
greatly clears the political horizon"
OMAHA (Nebr.), April 9.-Secretary Proc
tor and party passed through Omaha this
evening en- route to Washington. In reply
to question the Secretary said: Il am not
a candidate for Senator from Vermont All
this gossip about me in that connection is
without my knowledge. / intend to go di-
rect to Washington without any stops and

Advertisements for Proposals to
Supply Material.
Preparations to Carry Into Effect the Pro-
Visions Of The Fertilization Act.
Wanamaker 10 Visit San Francisco for the
Purpose of Investigating the Post
office Site Question.
Epeeial to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The ordnance
officers at the War Department have been
earnestly at work for weeks past preparing
to give effect to some of the more important
provisions of the Fertilization Appropria-
tion Act, which will go into operation after
June Both. To avoid loss of time most of
the advertisements for proposals to supply
material have been prepared and will be
issued in advance of the beginning of the
new fiscal year. Those ready for issue are
as follows; For twenty-five sets of forsings
for steel field guns of 32-inch caliber; sixteen
sets for steel field mortars, 36-inch ealber,
and. sixteen steel carriages for the same !;
steel forgings for large 8, 10 and IL inch
rified coast-defense guns; s, 10 and II inch
armor- piercing projectiles.
For the large coast-defense guns above re-
ferred 10, Congress appropriated SS00,00O
for the procurement of the necessary forg
ings, and the material will be assembled at
the Watervliet factory and finished guns
turned out. The 36-inch mortars mark
new departure in military field operations.
They are intended to replace the small
"cohorns," which are used in trenches for
shelling an enemy behind earthworks or
like defenses, and out of the rect fire of
field guns. Their range is nearly three times
a5 great as the "cohorn smooth-bore
mOrtars.
The proj-ctle is more than twice as heavy
and great accuracy of fire is obtainable. The
weight OF the piece is about 525 pounds. so
II can be easily transported III a wagon or
moved about by men in trenches. The
armor-piercing projecties are to be manu-
flat rah hxy httf nnfl
specifications that will secure the use of
some one of the modern European-p patented
processes. For their procurement an appro-
priation of Sl0O 900 will be available

Po5tmaster-Generai Wanamaker has de-
cided to accompany the President on his
trip. 1t is strongly intimated by good
authority that one and probably the chief
matter of Interest that causes him to make
the trip is to fsmliariZe himself with the
postoffiee site question at San Francisco. Iti
known that he Is very much Interested in
the matter, aud In fact somewhat worried
over the long and fruitless struggle to reach
a conclusion. The board to select the site is
composed of the Postmaster General, At
torney- General Miller and Secretary of the
Treasury Foster. The latter will not give
the matter their serious attention until after
the Postmaster-Genera returns. 1t is said,
however they will have n conference over
the question before Wanamaker leaves to
outline the points upon which he will seek
information during his visit TO San Fran
cisco.

Anna Dickinson Said to Be Per-
feCtly Sane.
A Sisters Hatred and Jealousy Caused the
Lecturers Imprisonment
Carried BY Force 10 an Asylum Despite a
Vigorous Resistance ea-The Lady
NOW In New York.
Special 10 THE MORNING CALI

NEW YORK, April o. = The Herald will
tomorrow publish startling story relative
to the incarceration of Anna Dickinson, the
famous lecturer. in the insane asylum. 1t
says Miss Dickinson came TO New York to-
day with DR.. Seward of Goschen, n. Y. at
whose house she has been since she escaped
from Danville, April I'd. They came for
the purpose of apprisng Miss Dickinson's
friends of New York of the wrong she has
suffered, and to secure legal advice as to
the steps necessary to secure her freedom il
she returned to Pennsylvania.
Miss Dickinson lays the blame for her in
generation upon her sister, whom she ac-
cuses of harboriDg an intense feeling of
jealousy and hatred.
She also accuses her sisters physician,
DR.. Hileman, of being in the plot against
her. She says she was taken by force from
her sisters house to the asylum. She re-
sisted until the skin was torn from her arms
and her garments torn into rags.
DR.. Seward, it appears, became informed
of the facts, and secured the release OF
Miss Dickinson. He expresses himself as
entirely confident of the sanity of Miss
Dickinson.
Miss Dickinson herself, when seen by a
reporter was perfectly calm and rational.
She will prosecute her sister for the mental
and physical suffering she has undergone.

HOLES IN THE AIR.

A Balloon Got Into One and Fell Six
Thousand Feet.
FL. HenneQuin of Paris, France, who has
had some experience in aerial navigation,
was in Fontenay at the time Tissindier and
Cover had their startling adventure in a
balloon, says the Chicago Tribune. The
traveller is an intimate friend of Cover. and
tells his story of their fall of mile as the
balloonists related it to him.
"They ascerded from Tissindier's house,
in Paris, and foated off toward Vincennes.
and as the wind was somewhat strong from
the northeast, the two men soon disappeared
from the view of Paris, having risen to a
height of 1900 feet. When they had reached
Fontenay, however, they WIRE fully 6000
feet above the earth. They were sailing
along smoothly, watching the scenes below,
when suddenly they seemed to fall into
hole in the atmosphere, and down they
went at terrific rate. Cover glanced at
the needle of the vertical scale. It WAS
travelling with lightning speed a roar filed
their ears, and both men thought that their
time had come. Nothing had happened to
the balloon. 1t was in perfect condition,
but there seemed to be no air to hold it up.
The earth seemed to be rushing at them
with the speed of a comet. There seemed
to be no atmosphere left and they could
scarcely breathe. As last resort Tissi1-
dier threw over the anchor and the remain
ing ballast, and the big balloon, after rush
of a mile through the air, regained its poise
and they were saved. The earth was but
fifty feet below.
This goes to show" continued Mr.. Hen
nequiD, that too much precaution cannot
be observed in carrying plenty of ballast
There are in the air occasional rarefactiOns,
and when a balloon once gets into one of
them it drops like a piece of lead. Cover
and Tissindier sailed into yeritable pit in
the air, and had they not had lots of ballast
aboard they would have been dashed to

LUCK CONES AT LAST.
The Oldest Operator of the Western Union
Inherits 500. 600.

Inc oldest operator OF the w NeStern Union
Inherits 100000.
John White Kelly is the oldest, luckiest
and most genial operator in the employ of
the Western Union Telegraph Company.
He has in his sixty years of life made and
lost several fortunes, but whether luck
frowned or smiled 'old man Kelly" as he
is affectionately termed by his associates,
never lost his good nature or forgot how
to speak a kindly word to friend in
trouble.
Two years ago an uncle of Mr.. Kelly's
died, leaving a large fortune, consisting for
the most art of valuable real estate Stu
ated in the city of Buffalo. says the New
York Herald. The property was purchased
more than fifty years ago, in what was then
suburb of Buffalo. Ten years ago boule-
ward was laid out in the line of these lots,
and to-day this is regarded as one of the
finest avenues in East Buffalo.
Including Mr.. Kelly there are five suryiv-
ing heirs to this estate. which has recently
been settled up. Mr.. Kelly's share will be
etween $50, COO and 100000.
He came out of the operating room in the
big Western Union Building yesterday to
see me with the usual smile upon lis ia ce.
Don't write anything about this, said he.
"What's the use. Yes, I've come into a
little money, but Pm an old man and need
It,"
Mr.. Kelly was interrupted at this point by
several of bis felow-operators who had read
the story Of his good fortune in the Evening
Telegram. Here are some of tho things
they said to him:
Hear you've got a hundred thou,
John?"
"Goin' to buy out the Western Union,
Johnf"
Don't blow it in down the street, John"
Say, John, the girls will be after you
now.''
Kelly has worked on and off at the key for
nearly forty years. Ten years ago he went
down into Wall street and made $50. 600 in
months later.
But nobody ever heard him complain, and
nobody ever knew him to do any more spec
ulating of any kind.

A Woman Burned to a Crisp by It While
Preparing Meal.
While arranging a gasoline stove at noon
to-day to prepare dinner, Mrs. George
W. Davis, the wife of conductor on the
Fort Worth and Denver road, was fatally
burned by an explosion. She was attempt
ing to fill the stove after the fire had been
lighted by pouring gasoline into the reser-
voir, says Fort Worth CTex) dispatch to
the Globe Democrat. As the gasoline ex-
ploded it blew out over her dress, and in a
second she was q living stream of fire. Pre-
serving her Self-p ossesslon, she screamed
to her husband, who was in an adjoin-
ing room, to bring blanket and smother
the fire. Rushing into the room he dis
covered the condition of his wife and
threw the blanket around her. 1t, however,
Immediately blazed up. and Mr.. Davis re-
turned to the bedroom, secured another
blanket, hurled that around his suffering
wife and succeeded, after rolling her to and
fro on the floor, in eXlinguishing the flames.
He then carried her to a neighbor's house
and sent for physician. The agony of the
woman was horrible. She lay upon the bed
charred, blackened scmblance of a once
beautiful woman, gasping for breath and
praying for relief. There was not a portion
of her body that had not been kissed by the
flames and SCARED and sc0rched by the heat.
Notwith standing the hoble efforts of the
physician to relieve her agony and save her
life, she suffered until about O'clock this
evening. She was about 3S years of age and
leaves three children.

UNDER sUBJECTIoN.
British Forces in India Gain the Master,
Over the Manipuris

brltlsn orces IN 1ndla Tain the mastery
Over the Manipuris
SIMI.A, April 9.-The letter received from
the leader Of the Manipuris, who ordered the
massacre of Chief Commissioner Quinton
and his colleagues at Manipur says: "The
British troops attacked the palace, mas
sacred my soldiers and killed ouI women
and children. In addition, they threw our
women and children into burning houses,
and desecrated our temples. Therefore
we killed Chief Commissioner Quinton's
party"
Tie letter of the Manipur leader also con-
tains the following: 81 deeply regret the
sad affair, which was wholly due to the
Tashness and indiscreton of the Britis h
officers" A second letter has been re-
ceiyed here saying that the surviving
British subjects with the exception of the
clerk and interpreter, were liberated before
the demand made by the British Govern
ment for their release had been received.
Lieutenant Grant, who was in command
of the small British force which captured
Fort Thaban, and Captain Presgrave. who
was in command of the troops sent 10 re-
enforce Lieutenant Grant, are now said to
be safe.
Advices have been received here of the
success of the British forces near Manipur.
This, combined with Lieutenant Grant
victory, has so disheRrtened the Manipuris
that they announce they are ready to reaOg-
niZe the authority of the British officials.
Additional troops are now on their way to
Manipur, where the massacre of the
Ghoorkas and the subsequent fate of
Quinton and his party will be thoroughly
investigated.
