Editor Times:
In TAE Tnns Of yesterday the following
paragraph appeared:
There were many rumOrs ahoat az 10 the
fire. but those who investigated the affair
thoroughly say these reports were given but
little credence. Several of the saleslades
employed at Messrs Ganss i Go. were seen
by u TIMES representative last evening.
They unanimously stated that they lett
the store AZ o'clock, az IL their
usual custom. that az that time
everything seemed 20 be all right and they
could not understand how the fire began. Mr..
Ganss was asked IN references TO 1t. and
stated that he left the store about fifteen
minutes before the fire commenced, and
could not attribute any cause whatever for
the confagration save the destructive work Of
electric hight wires"
In above paragraph Messrs. Ganss IL Co.
are reported rs asserting that the IRE III their
store was due 10 the destructive work Of
electric light wires" This statement we con-
slider unjust TO ourselves and others interest
ed in the electrical business. and therefore
wish you 10 publish the following incts:
First Messrs. Ganss 81 Co. S store was light
ed by gas, not electricity.
Second. No electric light wires were in the
Third. The only electric light used by
Messrs. Ganss a Co. was one arc light out
side of their front door and at the time OF
the arrival Of tho fire department no fire had
reached this part of the building.
Fourth 10 is conceded by all who saw the
fire IN IFS earlier stages that II commenced in
the rear half Oh the store. fifty feet distant
at least from their arc light.
Very respectfully,
RICHMOND RAILWAY AND ELECTRIC Co.,

The American hog must Wait.

BERLIN, April 1.-The report of the
abolition of the restrictions against
American pork is entirely premature
The truth of the matter is, the govern
ment va, not Withdraw restrictions until
the new measures under the law OF Mar.
3rd. are put into efficient operation.
Prnha;,I,i,"" live swine will be admitted
first, following the prc'--'i OF nVe cat
tie. Concerning pork, 1t Is certal,'N
irregular that the most extreme methods
Of proof be demanded in regard to the
condition of the American product,
whilst nothing is done to test the state of
the home-raised hog. The Schleswig
pig, which is largely slaughtered IN
Hamburg, deserves close microscopic
examination, but does not get it. The
importation of American cattle has grown
apace.
American dealers seem only now to
be waking up TO the fact that the restric-
ton agitation raised against the early
imports came from one or two firms,
while the others slumbered. The trade
is certain, and if 1t develops in the same
ratio every month it will soon assume
enormus proportions. The official
Hamburg figures show that the importa-
tions were in January, S44 head; Febru-
ary, 451; March, S1l. The first arrivals
at Bremen this week amounted to a to-
tai of $50 head. Hitherto Hamburg
has held the trade. DOS Fleisch Hird
billiger' is now the theme, the papers
hailing the advent of American cattle
with satisfaction.

Will not Resume.

SCoTTpale, Pa. April 12.-Au points
of the coke region were represented at
the miners special convention here yes
terday. The leaders held aloof and al
lowed the men to discuss the proposition
to resume work, which was defeated by
a unanimous vote. Itwas then decided
to hold mass meetings daily at central
points in the coke district for the double
purpose of keeping the strikers posted
and stiffening up the weakened.
A resolution was adopted pledging the
strikers to preserve the peace and the
laws of the State until the wage question
was disposed of. Another resolution, ex-
pressing confidence in the ability of
James Beacon, Esq, the miners attor-
ney, was passed,
John McLaine, ex-Secretary of the
National Progressive Union, expressed
the belief that the strike would be settled
by Wednesday, saying he thought the
two parties would come together in con-
ference.

Indian Uprising Feared.

BLACK FooT, Ida, April 13.-Great
excitement was caused this afternoon by
q discovery that Indians had killed two
unknown white emigrants who were
camped at water tank one mile below
this place. Nothing could be learned as
to the cause of the tragedy There were
no eyewitness. The bodies of the
emigrants were found dead at the tank,
and a number of Indians were seen tax
ing to the hills back of here. An upris-
ing is feared. Indian Agent Fisher, who
was at Pocatello, was telegraphed for
and came on a special train. Deputy
Sheriff Ross left Immediately for the
scene and took charge of the bodies,
leaving an armed posse on guard Busi-
ness is suspended and the citizens are up
in arms.
About one hundred armed mounted
men have left the city TO demand the
surrender of the guilty parties. Should
the Indians refuse trouble is sure to fol-
low, as the posse are determined men.
Not an Indian was to be found in the
city an hour after the affair. The gov
ernor and adjutant general have been
elegraphed TO in regard to the affair.

The expenditure Of the billion Con-
gress says the Philadelphia Record is
such bewildering total that it is hard
to grasp it. 1t has to be divided up and
thought of in seperate sums. 1t
amounted to 81, 600, 900 per day while
Congress was in session. Counted in
silver dollars there was metal weight
of 5000 tons This would make an
outlay of tons per day, or about 1928
a piece for each Senator and Represen-
tativc. For the two sessions of 500 days
the expenditure was at the rate of S23 a
second. This is a tolerable rapid gait.
1t is not probable that the billion Con-
gress will ever find its equal for rapac-
ious prohigacy-

TIN wosslrgmcp OF r,nnsyivania
says ine Philadelphia Eego,t OF 100
jealousy watch the maueuyegs ana in
t>eu,s 10 defeat the Ballot Reform bill
now pending in the Legislature. Ii is
not many years since a partisan State
Committee printed and distributed an
electoral ticket fer President containing
a popular device by which il could re
readily distinguished. The object ot
this was 10 enable factory superntend-
ents. mining bosses and partisan holders
of window books to detect workingmen
who dared 10 Independently exercise the
suffrage. BY this shameful artihce
thousands Of workingmen in Pennsylva-
MIA were inundated into voting the
ticket Of their employers against their
sense of public duty.
There is nothing to prevent repeti-
ton If this part San trick at the next Prc2-
idential election, as the men who control
legislation at Harrisburg have repeated
" refused to amend the laws so as to
provide for a uniform mode of printing
election tickets. The advantage of be
ing able to stop workingmen at the
ballot-box and dcnounce them to tyran-
meal and bigotcd employers was too
great to he thrown away by a change of
the Election law.
But the Ballot Reform bill, by provid-
ing for the printing of official tickets Of
uniform appearance, would, if adopted,
effectually defeat this iniquity. Under
such law no holder of a window-boOk,
nor party heeler or petty boss could dis
cover from the ticket for whom Its pos
SCISSOR might have voted. To make as
surance dOubly sure, the citizens would
be enabled to make up his ticket free
from intrusion or espionage, and with
out advice from any quarter; and when
deposited no Paul Pay on the Election
Board could compare its number with
| the number on the voting list. \ more
| effective method for rendering inviOlable
| the secrecy of the ballot could hardly be
| devised
1t may readily be admitted that the
number Of voters in Pennsylvania who
can be subjected to the corruption OF
fear 10y partisan employers and bosses is
small when compared with the mass.
But the humblest and weakest citizens,
under a wise and equitable system of
laws, are entitled TO protection in the
exercise of suffrage, not merely for
their own sakes, but in the highest pub
lie interest. Small as the number OF
citizens needing this protection may be,
it is yet large enough to have inspired
in party machine managers deep hos
tiity to the Ballot Reform bill.
1t is the duty of the woakingmen of
Pennsylvania to protect such of their
fellows as may be subject to the inf1u-
enceS of corruption and intimidation
when exercising the elective franchise
This duty could not be more effectualIy
performed than by demanding the pas
sage of the Ballot Reform bill now be-
fore the Legislature.
