SPAIN'S ANARCHIST SCARE.

Comparriots of Schwab, Parsons and Field
en- Determined 10 Avenge the Xeres
Executions-A Reign of Terror-Citizsns
Afraid to Leave Their Homes.
MADRID, Feb. II. A dispatch from
Xeres says that the executions of anarchists
which took place there on Wednesday has
not had the effect of putting a stop to the
anarchist agitation. Several bands of an
archists have been marauding in the coun-
try close. to Xeres, but yesterday detach-
ments of gendarmes were sent after them,
whereupon they Immediately took to flight.
The gendarmes are determined to capture
them if possible, and are still in pursuit.
The inhabitants of Heres have been thor
oughly frightened by the attitude and
threats of lawless characters in the town,
and, not knowing at what moment another
outbreak may occur, they are staying
in their houses as much as possible. At 9
o'clock last night the streets, which at,that
hour are usually bustling with life, were
deserted. The casinos, cafes, shops and
theaters were closed, and almost the only
signs of life, aside from the police, were in
lighted windows of the dwelling houses.
Anyone brave enough to venture out was
closely watched by the guardians of 4the
clty's peace.
From Cadiz to-day comes the intelli-
gence that the police of that city have ar
rested three Anarchists, who, when
searched, were found to be armed with
long, keen dsggers. They had in their pos
session quantity of documents written
in the usual fiery snsrchistic style, calling
upon the people to avenge the deaths of
the tour executed Anarchists, and to right
the many wrongs which the working people
suffer

Improvement of Streams and Building

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. FL Special J.
L;ncoln's Birthday was commemorated this
evening with large meeting in the Court
House. The speakers were Hon. John Dal-
zell, of Allegheny; Colonel W. A. Stone,
of Pittsburg, and Hon. Marriott Brosius, OF
this district. The speakers discussed national
subjects. from Republican standpoint.
Mr.. Dalzells address was an eloquent trib-
ute to the martvred Lincoln, as we'll as a
forcible presentation of facts in connection
with the vital question of transportation as
connected with the nations development.
Among other things he said:
One great need of this country is a system
OF waterways, auxiliary and supplemental
TO our railways, to carry the frelghts that
they cannot carry, to regulate their charges,
ana to furnish transportation at SUCH rates
as shall cheaper many of our products. Let
me illustrate by single example: The
NahonIng valley. in Ohio, the Shenango
va valley cyl, and AIlegheny county ,aaG ana
In 1889. teS per cent of the entire pig
iron output of the United States in that
year, amounting to 2,S3O.000 net tons. This
tif proper facilities be furnished) by the
year 1900 to-4, $50 COO tons. The raw material
for this product comes from the lake
regions, and will aggregate $500, COO of tons OF
ore. 1t is perfectly apparent that such
supply is beyond any probable, / might say
possible, ability of railways, constructed or
to be constructed, to carry.
Now, let it be remembered that between
the Ohio river at Pittsburg ana Lake Erie
there intervene but 100 miles, or there
abouts, OF space, and it is clear that ship
canal connecting the two would prove Il
Denefit to commerce and manufactures OF
lncalculable value, not local, but national.
1t would, moreover, as has been said,
complete grand national highway from
the coal fields of Eastern Ohio, Western
PENNSYLVANIA, and those regions for which
the Monongahela and Kanawha rivers re-
spectively are outlets to the Ohio to all lake
ports of the great Northwest and be of al
most inestimable value to the several wide
domains more Immediately affected, and
through them to the country at large"
Ihe saving in freight rates and in conse-
quent cost of production would in a short
time more than reimburse the outlay for
the improvement
Pennsylvania-let us rejoice-has already
walked mp to the value of such enterprise,
and at her cost, pursuant to an act of her
Legislature, a survey has been
perfected and reported demonstrating the
OF such canal. ! think I can
speak with confidence for her representa-
tives in the National Legislature and say
that no effort of theirs will be wanting to
make such work and all works of such char
acter a national care

Ohio's Senatorial Struggle.

In the Investigation of Doodle Charges in
Ohio's Senatorial Struggle.
COLUMBUS, O., Feb FL Special THE
House committee on investigation of the
charges against Representative Daugherty
began its labor this afternoon. Mr.
Daugherty expressed desire that the ex-
animation be full and free, and he was not
particular how far-reaching it was. Henry
Apthorpe, ex-Railroad Commissioner, was
the first witness examined. He said he was
one of the editors and directors of the
Columbus Post. Asked whether he had
read the articles published in that paper
charging Mr.. Daugherty with being offered
and receiving $1,000 for his vote for Senator
Sherman he said he had read them, but
knew nothing about them prior to their
publication. He had not authorized them,
and did not know who had, but had heard
Charles @. Davis, the principal owner and
Oranager of the paper, justify their publica-
tion and say they were true.
Mr.. Apthorpe, under further examina-
tion, stated he did not know anything as to
the truth of the articles. Mr. Tiernan,
whose name is signed to some of the articles,
was not an employe of the paper, so far as
the witness knew. The witness said he
knew no fact or circumstance tending to
show that Mr.. Daugherty was guilty of the
charges against him. d. K. Watson, at
torney for Mr.. Daugherty, was unable to be
present, and an adjournment was had to
next Tuesday.

of Abraham Lincoln by a dinner which
in future it proposes to make an

of the evening were Attorney

the conclusion of Mr.. Pattersons speech
Attorney General Miller arose and spoke to
the toast, "The Present Administration. Z"
Mr.. Miller in the early part of his address
said:

which he has maintained the dignity and
honor of the nation, and the rights of its
people abroad, of the general policy OF his
administration in domestic affairs, of the
character of his state papers, the quality of

personal and party pledges, and in the exc

of all questions arising in every department

BROOKLYN, Feb. 12-The Criterion
Theater was where the indignant Demo-
Gratis of the City of Churches tonight
poured fourth their protests against the So
called Freeze Out" Convention of the
Democratic State Committee. Augustus
Healy, the Chairman, opened the meeting
and his scatlling rebul1e of Mr. Hill and his
followers was cheered at every point, and
there were repeated cheers for Grover
Cleveland. Mr.. Healy introduced Edward
NJ. Shepard as Chairman. Mr.. Shep-
hard spoke in severe condemnation
Of the act of the Hill Democrats
in calling such an early convention and
ended with this statement, that the COM
mittee of p having in charge the meeting
was not putting itself on record for any one
man for the Presidency. 1t had come out
for home rule, sound money, tariff reform,
a fair field and open discussion. Some one
remarked, toward the close of the speech,
that David b. Hill could wait until 1896,
aud NIr. Shepard smiled. Mr.. Shepard was
followed by John Dewitt Warner, whose
speech was the principal one of the evening
Mr.. Warner first dealt with the defeat of
Mills for the speakership. He said that he
was beaten by a combination of those who
were opposed to the management under
which the Democratic party had succeeded
of which combination the New York State
democratic organization, directed by Gov
ernor Hill, was a powerful factor What
ever NAV have been the motives of others,
Mr. Warner stated that in his opinion
Hills plan, as defined by his Elmira
speech, was to call a halt in tariff reform
and to bring free coinage to the 'front.'
How well he succeeded was shown bv sub
scguent events
The speaker said that the people did right
to protest against the midwinter convention
it was, he said, only the last and crowning
crime Of a long series that the present Dem
ocratic State organization had committed,
and he took 1t that the meeting meant that
the people were not going to merely repudi-
ate the convention now called, but to give
notice that they would visit with political
death any man or organization that dares
Ihus to forge the names of the New York
Democracy
The resolutions adopted protest against
the call for the early convention 'ebecause
II seeks TO subordinate the intelligence and
conscience Of the masses of the Democratic
party TO the operations of ingenious politi-
cal mechanism and management, and be-
cause triumph of such management would
discredit the party and its principles and
threaten serious disaster

The Liberals have lost four seats

the Government gained three seats, but in
almost every instance, with the exception
OF Halifax, the Government candidates
have been returned by largely increased

largely attributable to the almost insepara-

majority of the electorate. The disclosures
OF the methods resorted to by the Liberal

the intimate connection and personal
friendship that existed between Laurier and

THE ELECTRIC CONSOLIDATION.
Negotiations Well Under Way, but Will
Last About Two Months


NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Vice President
Herrick said to-day that negotiations for the
consolidation of the Thomson-H Houston and
Edison companies were progressing rapidly,
but that it would require, he thought, at
least two months to consolidate the COM
Fanies. The following communication was

Board of Trustees of the Edison General
Electric Company:
When 1 went to Europe in June, 1890, in
tending to be absent a whole year, my resig
nation from the Presidency was left in your
hands. 1t was not accepted. and against my
wish continued to hold the position The
rapid growth of the company's business has
made it clear to me, however, for long time
past that someone should fill the difficul5
place who could devote all his time to its
duties, which my other occupations have not
permitted me to do. You have just chosen
me for a third time as chief executive of the
company. While l am sincerely grateful for
your confidence, can only accept with the
distinct understanding that l shall be at
liberty to retire whenever suitable sue
cessor acceptable to you can be found, but
