Notes.

The cne-mile safety record of 2 minutes
% 4-5 seconds, made by William +. MUIR
ply, OF the New York Athletic Club, at
New Haven on June 8, is not likely TO be
accepted by the Racing Board. Upon an
investigation it was found that the track
was three feet short of a mile, according
to the L. A. w. requirements.
Danny Daley, the young and spunky
feather-weighJ boxer, who left his home
in Bangor over q year ago, is now located
in Omaha. The latest a yices from there
are that he Is to meet George Dixon after
the ~larter's battle with Abe Willis. 1t
appears that Dixon stopped Mt Omaha or
bis why TO San Francisco, and took part
In an athletic exhibition, winding uD
with Daley. 1t was a bout of four
rounds. In three of which Daley is said 10
have had decidedly the best oft. Daley
Is known to be a hard and quick hitter,
with considerable skill and much en-
durance.

WASHINGTON, Feb. lO.-The first
amendment reported from the committee
on appropriations was the following; To
enable the president to cause careful
~soundiugs to be made between San Fran
cisco and Honolulu for the purpose OF de-
termIning the prscticability of laying a
Geographic cable between these points,
10000, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, and the president is thereby
authorized to direct the use of any vess Ell,
or vessels, belonging u the United States
in making such survey. Agreed to, alter re-
marks by Gorman to the effect that it is
not to be regarded as committing the gov
ernment in any way to the proposition
that the government was TO lay the cable,
The item of $685. 900 for equipment and
arms for naval militia in various states
was challenged by Carlisle and explained
by Hale as applying to certain states that
had organizations for drilling and train
ing for naval services just as the land
militia had for the land service.
Carlisle opposed the item. He thought
it merely the beginning of the bounty
slstem. The subject was discussed at great
length. The paragraph was amended SO
as to read, for arms, instead of equip
ment and arms" and agreed to-3l to Is.
The next amendment was one providing
for a dry dock on the Columbia river or in
Puget sound. Allen moved . substitute,
fixing the site at Port Orchard or Puget
sound. No action was reached on the
amendment.
A message from the president, with
the correspondence relating to the con-
duct of Commander Reiter, was presented
and referred to the committee on naval
affairs.
The presidents veto message on the bill
for a public building at Dallas. Tex
with the ac'Ion of the house r~assiLE the
bill over the veto) was presented and
referred.
Eulogies were delivered on the late
Representative Walker of Missouri and
the senate adjourned.

WAsHINGToN. Feb. ln-The silver
question continues the chief topic OF dis
cussion on the house side OF the capitol,
aud today matters have taken a new
shape. The silver Republicans had a
conference last night, at which there was
a pretty general and free interchange of
views. 1t was determined to make an
efiortl looking to the free coinage of the
American product, with a seignorage
charge on foreign silver. In a quiet way
the advisabiliiy of holding a party caucus
on this proposition will be muoted. Those
in charge Of the plan arc not very san
guine of success, and at present the sltua-
ton is full of complications. The Demo-
Gratis, it has been found, are not. rs a
rule, willing to favor a measure which
does not provide for absolute and unlimit-
ed free coinage. while to a very considera-
BILE number OF Republicans, the free coin
age OF the American product is almost, if
not quite, as Questionable as the bill
which passed The senate. In view of the
MANY difficulties IN tie way, the silver
men ara moving very slowly.

New YORK, Feb. 1O.-The convention
Of the National Association of Builders
continued today. Richard Smith of
Omaha offered T, solutions setting forth
that convict labor was frequently brought
into contact with builders to their serious
detriment, and asking the proper authori-
ties 10 pass a law to make the price Of
convict labor work the same as the sur
rent prices of the regular trade.
The report of the committee on arb
tration calls at :entiOn to the fact that one
of the fundamental principles Of the
declarat,on of principles of the National
Association recites that the employers In
the building trade should recognize that
there are great opportunities for good III
associations of workmen, and while con-
demninx improper methods on the part OF
such associations they should be ready 10
aid them in all honorable purposes. The
committee believe it absolutely necessary
that there should be associations OF en-
ployers and workmen to serve as repre-
sentative b. les 10 cases of disagreement,
and it is liz, % tg of the National Associa-
ton to recommend a definite method OF
arbitration which shall fully recognize the
rights OF both employers and workmen.
Other matters were discussed.

AT the beginning of the cold weather
bats begin 70 huddle together in regu-
lar punches in hollow trees, dark cor
ners in deserted houses or in caves in
the rocks. They gradually lose all sem
sibility and continue in a drowsy state
until the return of genuine warm
weather. The little hooks at the end
of the joints of each wing of a bat are
what the bat hangs itself up by when it
goes to sleep.
When the bats are clustering for
their winters sleep one of the number
hangs itself in this way, head down
ward and the others cling to it. 1t is
said that sixty bats have been found in
one cluster, the entire weight of the
lot being sustained by the one bat with
his hooks clinging to whatever he
fastened them to at the start. The
position of the central bat in such a
cluster would be like that of a man
hanging to something by his thumb
nails and supporting the weight of
ifty-nine other men. Bats that have
obtained the outside position in punches
of this kind have been found so badly
frozen that their wings could be broken
ike brittle candy, yet, on putting them
in a warm place, they soon ''thawed
out" and came to life as if nothing had
happened to them.-Detroit Free Press.

RAVEN Run, Pa, Feb. lO.-All doubts
as to the existence of a secret organization
similar to the Mollie Maguires has been
set aside by an occurrence which took
place zeal here Wednesday evening. j..
S. Williams, a tea agent, who has been
trading with business men in this city for
two years or more, received a notice
through the mail a week ago, which was
similar to those received by Mine Fore
man Evans and other Glrardville citizens,
but besides having the crossbones aud
skull it was adorned with a tree drawn on
the upper left hand corner of the sheet
and a rope with a moose at the end thrown
over one of the branches. He was ac-
cused of having said that the Ancient
Order of Hibernians was comrosed of a
villainous SGT of men, and, like the Mol
lies, would stoop to any crime. MIR.
Williams thought 1t a joke, and alter
showing it t. some of his friends plac, i it
in his pocket and thought nothing more
OF it until last night, when he had good
reason TO believe that it was no hoax.
Willie driving down the main road be
tween here and Lost Greek a man wear
ing a mask jumped out from the side OF
the road and, grabbing the bride, told
him to alight. The horses LIanced about.
and at the same time two other masked
men came from behind a ciump of bushes
and approached the carriage. One of
them carried a stout rope, while the o.hcr
held a revolver. Williams. ST., seized the
whip and struck the horses. As he
dashed up the road his assailaurs sent a
shower of bullets after MIN, but, uHinr'to

Illinois RepubIicans Frightened.

SPRINGFIELD. H., Feb. lO-The e
atorial outlook is not very promising for
the Republicans tonight. After a five hour
caucus they could not agree to accept the
proposit'on Of the Farmers Mutual
Benefit Associati N members to combine
on one OF the %laIter's candidates and re-
ferred the whole thing back to the
steering committee with power to act. 1t
is not likely, however, that any agree
ment will be reached. A disquieting
development IL the announcement that a
scheme is on loot to work reciprocity"
with the South Dakota legislature. The
plan Is that if the +. NJ. b. A. men in
Illinois will vote for Palmer (Democrat),
the Democrats 10 the South Dakota
legislature will vote for an Alliance
candidate. In this manner the Democrats
would knock out two Republican sena-
tors. A dispatch from Pierre, s d +,
says that the Independents there say they
have heard nothing OF such a plan. but
the Democrats seem tn be posted on il.
and assert that ethrr a Democrat OF an
Alliance man satisfactory t. them will
soon be elected. The Republicans in Hi
nois and South Dakota are considerably
alarmed over these developments. ALI
ance Congressman Jerry Simpson OF
Kansas has heen in Springfield several
days ding evang,l ical work with the
+. NJ. B. A. delegates in favor OF Palmer

A civ omcraI Turns Burglar.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Feb. l0.-A genuine SEN
sation was created here today by the ar
rest of Henry Shearer, the city electrician,
for the robbery OF Bowe & O'Brien's sa-
loon a week ago. Although but $500
we're taken from the safe at this place Of
business, the burglary attracted a great
deal of attention, because the saloon Is
located Just across the street from police
headquarters. The burglar bad entered
the saloon from the rear BY cutting out a
pane of glass, aud in doing so had cut
his hand. After opening the safe he had
forgotten himself and left the blood
stained knile behind him. The next
morning Shearer put in an appearance
with his rand bandaged, but accounted
for it in e way that was satisfactory. Ii
was hard to suspect a man who had been
in the employ OF the city for twenty-five
years. and who bad held many positions
OF trust. but he was suspected, and a de-
tective was quietly put to work who found
that of late Shearer had been drinking
and gambling. Having produced all the
facts he laid them before Mayor CLARK.
The latter took Shearer into his private
office. told him the circumstance and de-
handed the return of the money. Shearer
for W hours utterly denied that he had
anything to do with it, that be never
thought of such a thing. but finally weak
ened, aud said that out of the ST6O he
had only S4l92 5 lett, soIemuly declaring
this was all the money he had taken ex-
cept twenty five cents, which he had
spent. 1t is said that IN the roll OF money
he took be found some Confederate money
which had been kept by the firm as souven
irs. These he bad burned. What he
had done with the rest Of the money,
whether he had burned it inadvertently
or had lost it in going from the saloon
home. he would not tell. The mayor
labored away at him to endeavor to Sc
cure the rest of the money, but Shearer
never wavered in the assertion that 1t was
all he had. No preliminary examination
was had, but the case was taken directly
before the grand Jury. He was indicted
ir due form, arrested a. 6 O'Clock this
morning. and Is now under restraint.

TITS too bad, lady, but you've drop
ped a elevated railroad ticket inter the
box" said a bridge ticket chopper.
ooh, that's all right, y said the wom-
an. ~ put the bridge ticket in the ele-
waited railroad box"
Then she moved on into the station,
having failed to catch the idea which
the chopper had in his mind when he
touched her on the elbow. The chop
per's remark was meant to be a round
about demand for n bridge ticket. But
the woman understood the remark
literally. She thought that n kind
hearted public functionary had e1-
pressed his regret that she should have
put n five-cent ticket in the box when
a two-and-a-half-cent ticket would have
been good enough.
But if the woman failed to read the
mind of the chopper, she certainly non
plused him with her answer, and it was
not until she had become lost in the
great crowd which was waiting for
transportation that it dawued upon the
chopper that he would have served his
employers better if he had not been so
civil.-New York Times.

WORSE THAN EVER.
Russia Persists in Prosecuting
the Hebrews.
Human Beings Treated Worse
Than Animals.
A Frenchman Tries to Initiate
Fred Ward.

LONDON, Feb. l0.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Telegraph
writes at length of the prosecutions of the
Jews which, be says. have been, if any
thing, more marked since the petition
from Guildhall, London, was returned,
without comment, BY the car. Russia's
reply to the respectful petition consists of
secret circulars ordering the officials to
vigorously administer the anti semitic laws
and supply legal deficiency by their own
decisions. The correspondent says the
Poles. after the rebellion OF 1884, we're
less lnhumaneiy treated than the Jews
are today. The Jews, through the
wretched life they are forced TO live, are
physically degenerate. and are becoming
the most striking embodiment OF human
life.
Gen. Gourko, governor OF Warsaw, with
this knowledge, issues the most stringent
regulations as TO the examination of young
Jews Tor military recruits, harassing those
found physically unable to bear arms by
repeated cruel examinations. dragging
them several times a year IRON their homes
to the examining stations many miles
away, they being compelled to go on loot,
chained with convict gangs A strange
anomaly is the conduct of Prince Dol
%Rouroff, governor of Moscow, who has
been obliged many times u turn to
wealthy Jews for monetary assistance,
and is indebted to them. In his district
the Jews is treated with marked leniency.
Referring to the report that the car
does not know of the enormity perpe-
trated in his name, the correspondent
says the truth is the car knows enough
to convince him that the Jews are more
cruelty treated than horses. cattle or
swine, which are cared for as gifts of
God. A number of eminent Russian
votary men recently addressed a declara
ton t, the public and the journalists ask
ing them to remember that the Jews
we're human beings. A personal friend
OF the car laid the document before him
with the humble request from the authors
for its publication. The car read both
papers and flung them away.

trade every day 10 the coal business.
They have their coal yards at the west end

Northern. They receive there about
eight cars per day and some how or other
manage to sell all their coal. They have
adopted a new system of handling coal
which will be of UT, at value TO the con-
sumer. They have so arranged matters
that hereafter all the coal will be of the first
quality; no one will get any of the fine

BALTIMORE, Feb. IO.-The Sun to-
morrow will publish a dispatch from
WsshinRtoA referring to the report that
the conclusion of Governor Hill of New
York to come to the senate was because
OF Il letter written him by Henry Waiter
son last November. The letter is printed
in full. Ia it Mr.. Wattersou SAYS that
outside of the state OF New York there is a
well nigh unanimous demand among Demo-
Gratis for the nomination of Cleveland, too
strong for the party leaders and managers
to resist. If Hill should come to the ma
tional convention with the New York dele
CATION solid against Cleveland he
would be overwhelmed. You are pow
erless to prevent" adds WqtteIson, but
you can defeat the election OF the ticket.
There are Democrats in every part of the
Union who believe you did this in 1888.
l kDOE it to be false, but it will cling to
you MS long as you live, and will meet you
in every national convention il it be not
dissipated bv some act on your part great
enough to blot 1t out. In default OF this.
if you have any hope of the presidency. il
will defeat that. II YOU could reconcile 1t
with your judgment to make peace
with Clevel, nd and take the delegation
to the national convention in 1892 to put
him in nomination, YOU will save the
party and place yourself upon an eleva-
ton you can meyer attain if you fail to do
it. You would be received by the coun-
try with enthusiasm. and 1 don't see how
YOU could be kept out of the succession.
On the other hand, even if you succeeded
in defeating rhe nomination Of Cleveland.
you will sttnd upon sinister aud danger
