CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE striking teleg-
raphers on the st. Paul road claim TO be
gaining gronnd, and that fifty more men
left the road at 12 o'clock today. Chlei
Thurston of the telegraphers says the
road is running their passenger trains
comparatively on time, but that the
freights are greatly impeded.
General Manager Earling says there IS
no strike. "Only seventy-two men" said
he, have gone out. and their places have
been promptly filled. 1 am not not un-
easy"
AS the telegraphers show letters and
kilograms from $50 men who have gone
out, it is evident that the general manager
is not well posted.
CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Investigation by the
officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul railroad shows that the report
that passenger train was wrecked on its
line near Girard, Ia. last night and nine
people killed, is without foundation IN
fact.
This is the wreck reported to have been
caused by the failure Of an operator to de-

The end was quiet and peaceful, and came
after period of unconsciousness lasting g
about twenty-four hours. He came to
this city from Newport last October, feel

was in fine health and spirits; had an
excellent appetite, and a good faculty for
sleep, until last week, when he caught
slight cold. Notwithstanding his cold
he continued to seek outdoor exercise
every day. until Thursday, when he took
to his bed as a matter of precaution He
failed rapidly yesterday, and became un-
conscious in the afternoon, in which state
he remained until the end. His son John
&. Bancroft, who, with his wife, kept
house for the historian, was with him in
his last moments.
1t was decided this evening to hold
funeral services at II o'clock next Tuesday
morning in St. Johns Episcopal church.
The interment will take place at Worces-
ter. Mass, where Mr.. Bancroft's wife is
buried.
Mr.. Bancroft lived here in large, old
fashioned double house on II street in a
fashionable neighborhood. and his garden

The WORI MS FAIR

CHICAGO, Jan. IA special from Wash
fngton gives the text Of the report of the
Chandler committee on the worlds fair,
which was finally passed upon this morn
ing, and is expected to be submitted to
congress this afternoon. As a Chicago
paper expresses il, il has smitten Chicago
squarely between the eyes. 1t sets forth
that there are two organizations eXercis-
ing conflicting Jurisdictions that the fair
cannot be successfully conducted under
these conditions; that the national conf
mission has exceeded its authority, first. in
appointing committees to manage the ex-
ecutive details of the fair as a whole, in
stead Of contining itself TO the government
exhibit and intercourse with foreign ex
hibitors; second, in appointing such large
board of lady managers and at such an
early period, and, third, by the employ
ment Of officers and clerks to manage the
details OF management which did not prop
erly fall within its jurisdiction.

Element Immediately, and treat with the
Indians afterward, the boomers in this
vicinity have been actively engaged in
sending out circulars to the members of

of 10000 members, and a private letter has
been mailed TO every one TO be mere on the
Goth, and come prepared to make their
home in the Cherokee strip \ private
letter from a member of congress in the
hands of Pat O'Connor, president of the
colony, conveys the opinion that there is no
doubt of Mansur's bill passing and of the
presidents signature. There is feeling
among all that the strip is now open to
settlement, and preparation is being made

BERLIN, Jan. 17-There is distinct dis
| appointment over the defective character
of Prof Koch's statement regarding the
composition of the lymph, especially the
! studied reticence concerning some parts of
/ the process of production. His declaration
| concerning the remady reveals nothing,
| while the description of the lymph seems
/ evasive and obscure. The discussion pro-
ceeds with renewed activity as to the value
of the discovery. The weight of German,
Austrian and English medical opinion
supports the belief in the healing virtues
of the lymph. Prof. Nirchow is understood
to have modified.his unfavorable view. The
evidence from every quarter, when com
pared, demonstrates that though the
remedy has failed in many cases, it has an
undOu bted effective ameliorating effect in
early phthisis tubercles of the larynx and
in lupus.
Chancellor Won Caprivi has the assur-
ance of the Centre party that, although
continuing conservative as regards the
abolition of duties they will support
treaty with Austria reducing the duty on
corn to three marks Yesterdays vote
strengthened the chancellor's hands in
dealing with Austria to obtain concessions
in exchange for reduction on grain.

Snow has again fallen in east Prussia.

Others, three or four years older, were
found within the next ten miles, all
frozen. 1t is supposed that the boys had
got lost and were overtaken by the snow
storm, which began falling about O'Clock
Saturday morning, and perished.
As stated. they were going in the direc-
ton of the Wichita mountains. As soon
as the principal of the school learned of
their sad fate, fearing the vengeance of
the Indians, he left that locality for parts
unknown, and has not since been heard
from. A report was received, by the Min
co and Fort Sill stage driver, who came
through Anadarko today, that 400 or zoo
angry Indians were encamped in the vi
Cinity of the agency, and are threatening
TO burn the school building, and to scalp
the principal If he can be found. An ap-
plicltion has been made to the command
Ing officer at Fort Sill for troops to pre-
vent an outbreak.
