TO GRIEF.
e Skull in Seven Places-A Warning to
= All Burglars. 7-'-'

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. S.-Last night
about IL O'Clock man entered Ring
t,brotIets' grocery store, at Nineteenth
rand Castro streets. William Ring was
in the store, and man pulled pistol
and told Ring to throw up his hands.
Instead of obeying, Ring grabbed a
heavy scale weight and struck the
would-be robber on the forehead with it.
Ring then grappled with the man, who
snapped his pistol, but it missed
fire. The robber pulled another
pistol, but Ring took it away
and beat him over the head with
it until he surrendered. Ring then
called the police, to whom the man gave
several names. He was taken to the
hospital, where it was found that his
skull had been fractured in seven places.
Today the robber was unconscious most
OF the time, and is in very critical con-
dition. Ring received a few. bruises, but
nothing very serious. The police think
the captured robber is the same one who
robbed recently half dozen different
stores south of Market street.
Tonight the robber, who gave his
Hamc aS rank quinn, was gwen NOR
phine to which he is accustomed, and
he then gave an account of himself. He
says that he came here from Seattle
about four months ago, and was unable
to find work. Saturday night he went
into Rings store to buy package of
cigarettes, when Rings dog bit him.
He complained and was driven out of
the.store by Ring, who bit him with
the weight. He then tried to use his
pistol, but was too weak.

LIMA, Peru, Feb. S.-The mail steamer
Arequipa brings the following news UP
to January 9th from Valparaiso:
The steamer Imperial, which was taxi
ing on board 1000 men for Iquique, was
attacked at night by the revolutionists'
torpedo-boat Blanco, but the torpedo
boat was repulsed after several hours
fighting, and the Imperial managed to
leave Valparaiso. She landed the troops
she had aboard at Patilla, near Iquique.
The government has issued decree
promising those of it's troops not taking
part with the revolutionists, 25 per cent.
additional pay. Another government
decree provides that the families OF
loyal soldiers, killed or wounded, shall
receive pensions equal to full pay.
Taltal and Chanaral are the only ports
taken by the revolutionists. The Cham
pion was the only man.of-war at Val.
paraiso, while the Acorn was at Co
quinbo and the Pheasant at Iquiuue.
The cruisers Almirante Brynch and
Almirante Condell are not in the posses-
sion of the revolutionists, these two new,
vessels having been detained by the
Chilean government at Montevideo.
Joaquin Godoy, late Chilean minister
to Peru, has left Santiago, via Cordil-
leros, on special mission. it is believed,
in connection with new ships being
built.
At Santiago the army is rapidly in
creasing. Twenty-Five hundred persons
left Chile on the steamer Romus, which
was chartered by the government. s

stopped by 800 workmen, who liberated
the prisoners and took the train to Iqui-

The ports of Coquimbo and Pisaqua

A Steamship's Marrow Escape from a
Grave In the Ocean.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-The steamship
Polariac, regarding whose safety much
anxiety was felt, reached port tonight,
five days overdue. Her foreinast was
gone, her engines were out Of order, and
she presented battered appearance
generally. Captain George Busch said !:
''The 9th Of January was pafticu-
larly stormy day. In the afternoon a
gigantic wave struck us, and tons of
water came rolling on deck. Above the
din OF the surging waters, sharp crash
was heard, and the big foremast was
seen hanging level with tue main deck,
over the starboard side; the forward
bulwarks had been carried away and
could be seen dancing off on the wave
crests. The stairs leading from the
quarterback to the main-deck were
gone, and the sheetiron end of the cabin
compartment was burst in. A portion
OF the bridge was missing and the iron
guard rail was broken. A small boat
was carried off. It was narrow escape
from an ocean grave. No one, for
tunately, was seriously injured"

THE ITALIAN CABINET.

Its Formation Completed-Premier Di
Rudini Outlines His Policy.
ROME, Feb. 8.--The following cabinet
will be officially announced tomorrow
with probably the addition of Vallard,
as minister OF education: Marquis di
Rudini, premier, misister of foreign
affairs ad interim and minister oi
marine; Signor Colombo, minister oi
finance; Noctora, interior; Luzzotti,
treasury; Pelloux, war; Branca, public
works ad interim and posts and tele-
graphs; Ferris, justice.
BERLIN, Feb. 8.-The Rome CORE
spondent of the Berliner Tageblatt had
an interview with the Marquis di Ru-
dini, the new Italian prime minister.
In the course of the conversation, the
marquis declared himself to be thor
oughly liberal, and expressed conf
dence that he would receive the sup
port Of the whole chamber. He said
that while he was no friend of clerical
ism. he considered the systematic per-
secution of the church to be both USE
less and Objectionable. He predicted
the abolition OF the system of voting
known as scrutin de liste. The dissolu-
ton OF parliament, he said, was not con-
templated by the new ministry. Touch
ing upon foreign affairs, the premier
described himself as warm friend Of
the dreibund. In regard to his domestic
policy of the ministry, he said that re-
trenchments were projected in every de-
partment of the government.
ROME, Feb. 8.-The leading Italian
newspapers do not look with favor upon
the new ministry, and they all express
the opinion that it will be short-llved.
OF the ministers, Nicolera and .Brancera
are members of the Left; Pelloux is neu-
trail, and the others belong to the party
of the Right. With Signor Tarocco not
in the cabinet, Catholic support of the
new ministry is very uncertain.

Sr. PAIL, Feb. Sat noon today
snow began to fall in this city, and
there has been promise Of blizzard
during the afternoon. The storm is
pretty general in the northwest, al
though North Dakota seems to have
escaped to considerable extent. In
South Dakota the storm that was raging
at Rapid City, extended over the entire
state. Aberdeen, Huron, Pierre and
other points report a very severe biz
zard. E
The Pioneer Press correspondent at
Pierre says the worst blizzard since 1888
has been raging there since last night,
with little prospect Of cessation. The
thermometer went as low as 20 degrees
below this morning, and it has been
freezing all day. 1t is doubtful if trains
will be able to get through.
The Huron correspondent says: The
snowstorm tonight developed into gi-
gantic blizzard, almost equal in fury to
that OF January, 1888. The wind is
blowing at velocity of from thirty-five
to forty miles per hour.
At O'Clock tonight the thermometer
is IL degrees below zero at St. Vincent,
Minn.; IL below at Minnedosa; s below
at Fort Buford, and below at Moore
head, MINI.
The blizzard did not appear in North
Dakota, but is confined to South Dakota,
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, being severest IN South Dakota.
OMAHA, Feb. S.-A heavy snow storm
prevailed here today, nearly blockading
street car traffic. Reports from all por-
tions OF the state show that the storm is
very severe. In the northwestern part
o blizzard has been raging for twelve
hours, and the people dare not venture
away from their houses. In the south
ern part the snow has drifted from four
to ten feet.
LINCOLN, Feb. Sat midnight the
thermometer ranged around zero, and a
strong wind was blowing. The snowfall
at this place is very light. Hastings

On the issue.
Several Irish bishops, following the
example set by Archbishop Walsh, have
written letters to the clergy of their
dioceses ,in opposition TO Harrington's g
appeal to tho members OF the National
league, to reorganize in view OF the gen.
eral elections. Archbishop Walsh ad-
vised the clerical members OF the league
to combat such Parnellite packing by
refusing to join in the trickery.
In reply to Archbishop Walsh, Har-
rington says the archbishop misjudges
the object of the leagues circular,
which is similar to those Issued annu-
ally by the league. Harrington says he
informed Dillon and O'Brien before
Issuing the circular, that in consequence
Of the collapse of the American tour, he
had determined to ask the league
branches to help the evicted tenants.
Harrington advises the archbishop not
to commit the priests too hastily to a
policy which will lead to two hostile

ALBANY, N. ", Feb. S.-The effects OF
the storm in this city can be summed
up briefly by saying that the present
conditions here are. on smaller scale,
exactly what they were in New York
city two weeks ago. The city is in dark
ness, it being unsafe to connect the
electric light wires, and no electric cars
are running for the same reason. The

Organized Labor Asserts Itself as to IL,

Organized Labor Asserts itself as To the
Worlds Fair.
CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-The organized labor
OF Chicago hotly asserted itself today re-
garding the worlds fair. 1t was at the
regular meeting of the Trade and Labor
assembly, body said to represent
$4,000 workingmen, and one of the
above members was given seat in the
worlds fair directory, in recognition Of
$500, 900 subscribed by workingmen to
the guarantee fund of the fair. Intense
interest was manifested in the subject,
as there had been much discussion be-
forehand in meetings Of the individual
unions. The excitement began when
James O'Connell, president Of the as
sembly, offered resolutions that when
it was first proposed to hold the world g
Columbian exposition in Chicago, organ
lied labor was appealed to by the pro-
moters of that Institution to assist in
securing them the needed legislation in
favor Of Chicago; that the members Of
the various trade unions and labor
organizations Of Chicago, subscribed
literally to the stock that implied in
ducements were held out by its promot-
ers to the working people of Chicago ;
that in all work done ION the buildings
union labor should be recognized and
have preference over scab labor and that
the present worlds fair directory indi-
cate an intention to refuse to recognize
union labor, but threaten to employ in
discriminatory n0n-union labor, thereby
flooding the labor market of Chicago,
with the ultimate design of destroying
trade unions. Efssr
Therefore, be it resolved, That we as
union men, protest against. this treach-
erous action of the worlds fair directors,
and unless immediate action is taken by
that body to redeem their implied
pledges given in regardsto union labor,
that we shall deem 1t our duty to oppose
in every way any further legislation,
either municipal. state, or national, in
favor of said exposition, and we hereby
recommend all wprkingmen who sub
scribed for stock, to decline to
saFHy any further assessments un-
til proper assurances are given
that the implied pledges will be
kept; and be it further resolved,
that unless satisfactory assurances are
given by the directors that their indi-
Gated action will be changed, we shall
deem it our duty to ask the cooperation
of organized labor throughout the coun-
try TO- assist us in making our protest
emphatic"
In an instant dozen men were on the
floor. and peppery speeches, containing
some pointed personalities followed.
O'Connell said: 1--WE will make the di-
rectory put regiment of soldiers around
the ground, If they employ scab labor.
The day has passed when organized la
Dor can be ignored in great public enter
priees of THE kind.
The resolution was carried without
opposition.

THE FIRE rIENp.
Four Incendiary Fires I'm Sioux City In
Ono Night-Great Excitement.

OAA0 xNA8Mt--NIHO4st W4O1t0hlA0MSs
Sioux Cry, Ia., Feb. 8.--An alarm of
FIRE was turned in from the Hunt school
building at 80 p. m. Ahigh wind was
prevailing and the entire fire depart
ment responded. While the companies
were working on this fire another alarm
was turned in from a four-story brick
building, occupied by Tolerton & Stet-
son, wholesale grocers. The firm is one
of the largest in Iowa, doing heavy
business in Nebraska, South Dakota and
Iowa. The building, together with its
contents. was entirely destroyed. The
loss is $20O, 900; insurance, $3.50, 600.
While the FIRE was raging in the gro
cery house, Lyons gun store, less than
two blocks away, was discovered to be
on fire. The badly crippled fire depart
ment sent one hose team to work on the
building, but it being a two-story wood
en- structure, was soon burned, together
with its contents. The upper floor was
occupied by two families, and it ID re-
ported that two children have been
burned to death, but this has not been
verified.
The excitement was something seldom
known here. Those who were able to
be out-and they were numbered by
thousands-gave the fremen valuable
assistance. The fires were clearly the
work of incendiaries, done, it is sup
posed. for the purpose Of robbery. 1t is
now thought by many that it is the
same gang that tried to burn the little
town OF Corrington, just across the river,
three weeks ago.
An attempt was made at II 80 to start
another fire in secondhand store, on
Pearl street, but the blaze was discov-
cred IN time to prevent much damage.

THE TREASURY PORTFOLIO OF.
n FERED TO JOHN C. NEW.
President Harrison Thinks He Would Be
Handy Man to Have in the Cabinet.
New Ordered to Washington.

New YORK, Feb. 8.-A gentleman OF
more than local prominence, who has
long been fdsnstned with public affairs,
and is repute'i to,be thoroughly informed
regarding the inside workings of the
present administration, and who has
just returned from visit to Washing
ton, said today: Thursday afternoon
last, President Harrison cabled Gene raj
John 9. New, consul-general at London,
to. come to Washington at once. 1T will
be remembered that when Harrisoniwas
making up his cabinet, New was
anxious to be appointed secretary OF the
treasury. But his friends urged upon
him that he could not then afford to
sacrifice the consul-generalship for the
treasury portfolio. The consul-general-
ship would certainly yield him $25 900
annually, and besides would give many
legitimate opportunities for increasing
that sum. Unless New decides
that the handsome income from
the consul-generalship with it's freedom
from care, is better than the secretary
ship, with it's perplexities (leaving out
impulses of ambition), he will probably
be the next secretary of the treasury.
This is the settled opinion of those who
are best informed as to the presidents
purposes. It is known that New has
studied the whole British question
thoroughly, from an internationals stand
point. As he is a man of great discre-
tion and caution, besides thoroughly
American, his views are of7the greatest
Importance to President Harrison, who
fully realizes this, as he knows that he
will want at his command the best, full
est and most accurate sources of infor-
nation. This fact alone makes New the
strongest possible candidate for secre-
tary Of the treasury

FACTIOUs PADRES.
Bitter Rivalry Between English and
. German Prlests at Milwaukee.

, German Priests at Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. 8.-The or
ganization here OF an American Catholic
clerical union, composed of the English
speaking priests of the Milwaukee prov
ince, is interpreted as the first step in
what may be bitter contest against
German supremacy. For years the
archbishop and three bishops of the
province have been Germans, and the
German priests outnumber the English
speaking priests, three to one, although
numerically the English-speaking laity
is full as strong as the German. The
recent appointment Of Bishop Katzer as
archbishop was great disappointment
an organization with the view OF secur-
ing proper recognition, and they will ap-
peal direct to Rome for the appointment
Of an American to succeed Bishop Kat
