JUSTICE TO THE POOR.

The Cry of a Mob in the Streets of
Madrid.
MADRID, Dec. 2.-Yesterday was a day of
tumult and apprehension throughout the
city. Thousands of men did not go to
work at the usual hour. but waited. in
groups at street corners near the center of
the city. They were joined by crowds of
loafers, anarchists and rowdies. Thousands
gathered at Puerta del Sol and began
shouting against the ministry and NUM-
cipal authorities. The police tried to dis
perse them, but were repulsed. A rein
forcement was called, but before they ar
rived the most of the crowd had drifted
into side streets.
1000 or 10000 strong. Black flags were
more numerous, and many men were ar
reated with clubs. The crowd surQed up to
the steps of the homo office. shouting
Down with the government" "Down with
city thieves" Crush the upper ten thous
and!' Give US our rights!' etc. The
building was closed and a call was sent for
more military and police protection. Be-
fore the troops arrived the cry ITO the
palace." was raised, and the mob started
down Gale del Arsenal, shouting, singing
and waving their flags Stones, clubs and
pieces of metal we're thrown through the
windows on both sides of the street, and
respectable citizens were thrown down and
trnmpled upon or compelled to join the
mob, and several shops were forced open
and plunde ed.
When half way to the plaza before the
palace the rear end of the mob were inter
ceptcl and dispersed by the police, who
broke i'll ftom side street with drawn
sabres. The struggle lasted ten minutes,
as the men fought back stubbornly with
whatever weapons they could find. Tho
policemen were knocked senseless with
stones and two market women who joined
the mob were cut down with sabfes. Mean
while She foremost part of the mob reached
the open space before the palace. They
shouted for justice to the poor and the dis
missal of the ministry and the punishment
of the munici al off ers who were stealing
the peoples money.
A body OF mounted police charged upon
them down the Chile del Arsenal and after
another struggle dispersed them. Several
persons were injured III the fight. The
lcade,s of the rioters were captured. After
| the fight the rioters gathered III groups on
tine street corners and a thousand or more
shouted or sapg Mt Puerta del Sol. During
this demonstration aenor Sagasta, ex.pre-
mier, rode by and was greeted with cheers
1 ON all sides. At night the guards at the
government buildings and palace were
doubled. The unensiness that is felt by the
wealthier classes is little less than panic.

But Not Hopeful That Any Good viii
Come From Brussels.
Calcutta, Dec. 2. - The newspapers of
India are watching with anxious interest
the Iroceedings of the monetary confer
ence. The Allah Ahbad Pioneer says the
chief importance of tho kothschild scheme
is its parcntage. It is believed Rothschild
WAS appointed delegate mainly to strengthen
the opinion of bankers and merchants of
London. He now appears to be the mouth
piece of the government, for without the
authority of the government he would
never have made a proposal involving the
international legal tender of silver. Further
meaning ID attached to his proposals. seeing
that the British ministry, which has such
anti-silver tendencies, recognizes the neces-
sity of Immediate steps towatd5 the sup
port of silver. and for securing the CO. oper-
alton OF other nations to that end 1t is
odd, also thnt tho submitting of proposals
should have devolved upon Rothsuhlld, ns
tho anti silver legislation of the pnst
twenty years has found it's largest support
among Jewish tinanciers. especially the
Rothschilds who, as holders-in- chief of
government stocks. ganed enormously
through the appreciation of gold. Prob
ably the Barring crisis opened tho eyes oven
of Kothschld to the fact TINT tho present
strain, involved by the scat CITY of gold,
may be carried too far and bling on disaa-
tors that would obliternte the advantages
of serving the n,onied interests.

preme Court Dec. ~.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-LSpecial. IA ques-
tion of more than ordinary interest to tho
people of tho entire west is involved in the
case of Barden vs. the Northern Pacific
railrond, which is set for special hearing in
the supreme court on Monday, Dec. IL.
The case comes from the supreme court Of
Montana on appeal and, in brief, involves
the question whether n railroad can hold
mineral lands occurring within it's grants
that were not known to be such at the time
the company got possession. The Montana
courts decided the question for tho rail
road and against Barden. who claimed title
to lands within the limits of the railrosd d
grants under the mineral laws of the United
States. Attorney General Miller, owing to
the Importance of the case. has called upon
Assistant Attorney General Shields to help
him in preparing the brief and making the
arguments in the case on behalf OF the
United States. The decision is said to in
volve larger amount of money than any
case that has been tried for nearly twenty
years and affects nearly every land grant
road in the country.

-Four Men Accused of Eobbing the Great
Northern Express Car Mt Malta
Under Arrest

LIVINGSTON, Dec. Especial. Follow
nights ago at Cokedale, comes an sffray in
which another life is sacrificed to satisfy
spirit of some fancied or real wrong. This
time respected citizen OF Livingston Ia
murdered. apparently in cold blood, and an
aged father and an invalid sister left al
most destitute and with no one OF near kin
to support them. Tommy Gavin. night
bar tender for White & Ransom, was shot
about IL o'clock last night by Charles
Bloom, a gambler. Bloom entered the Ba-
loon and requested OF Gavin loan of
So. Gavin offered him ST. explaining that
it was all he had. Bloom then abused
Gavin and Gavin, stepping from behind
the bar was hit by Bloom. A scuffle
sued and tho combntants fell outside
the door. Bloom succeeded In drawing
gun and fired three shots, the nrst taking
effect in Gavin's leg and the second miss-
ing. by this time Gavin had disengaaed
himself and was reeling through the door
when Bloom fred the third and fatal aiot,
which entered the back, penetrating the
kidneys and liver and coming out of the
chest. The wounded man was taken up
stairs in the Hefferlin block and medical
aid summoned, but Gavin was fatally
wounded, and after resisting death with all
the vitality of naturally robust constitu-
tion he died at four O'Clock in the morning
in the presence Of his aged father and nu
merors friends. Father Coopman, the
Catholic priest, was almost constantly at
Gayin's side till he died and gave him the
consolation of his church.
Bloom was arrested shortly after the
shooting by Sheriff Templeton and placed
in Jail to await his preliminary examina-
tion. Gavin made his dying statement be-
fore County Attorney Elect Miller. Tho
deceased, L. F. Gavin. has been resident
of Livingston about three years. He first
engaged as a waiter in Rube Morris res
taurant and subsequently was employed as
barkeeper in White g. Ransom's saloon.
After accepting this position he sent for
his father and widowed sister and estab-
lished q home here. His naturally genial
disposition had made him hosts of friends,
Charles Bloom his slayer, has also lived in
Livingston about three years. He is q
gambler by profession and lived in the bad
lands on B street, most of the time with
female known as Josie Trip. Threats Of
lynchng have been heard all day, but in
all probability no violence will now be at
tempted. Marshal johnson to-day made
formal complaint and warrant was issued,
but Bloom took twenty four hours to enter
plea.

PIrrRBuRa, Dec. after closing the dis

A PENSION COMMISSION.

Senator Butler. of South Carolina,
wants To cut down pensions He has
introduced a Hill to have q commits
sion appointed TO investigate every
case upon the pension rolls, and cot
out all those who are not rightfully
entitled To pensions "There are
more than 100000 cases on the rolls, -
said Senator Butler, "and before the
end of the fiscal year if the present
rate i maintained, there will be more
than 100000. a large number Of
them are fraudulent, and the unjust
drain on the treasury is tremendous.
1t is reform or bankruptcy This is
all there is to it. There are negroes
in the South drawing pensions who
never heard a gun fired during the
war. There are many white men do
ing the same thing A thorough in.
yestigalion should be made, and
fraudulent pensions cnt off "
Three cheers for Mr. Butler and
his pension commission bill BY all
means let The present Democratic
House pass il at once, and if tine iio-
publican Senate pigeon.holes the bill,
the next Congress, which will doubt
less be Democratic ia both branches
will sec 10 il that such a law is put
go the statutes. Any pension that
will not bear the light Of day-close
