A Useful Insect Recently Imported from
the Antipodes.
b. NJ. Lelong, secretary state board
of horticulture, of California, des-
cribes the lady-bug received from
Australia in April, 1892. This insect
preys on the cottony cushion-scale. Its
attempted colonization has proved sue
cessful. Experiments will soon be
made to determine what other species
this valuable insect, whose functions
equal, if not surpass, those of the We
dalia cardinals, will destroy.
The beetle is slightly smaller than
Vedalia cardinals, averaging one
eighth of an. inch in length. The
elytra are cardinal red when the per-
feet beetle issues from the pupa-case,
afterward changing to deep blood red.
The male has a black line down the
center of his back, from the thoraX TO

WORKING for the Appropriation

WoRKINGToN, Jan. 22.-Representa-
tive Hermann is doing some earnest
work toward obtaining congressional re-
cognition for his portage railway project
at the dalles of the Columbia, foy which
his bill was recently introduced. This
bill is repetition of the substitute
reported by him in the fifty first con-
gress for the senate ship railway bill. In
view of the well-defned purpose of this
congress to reduce appropriations and
especially to discourage all new projects,
Mr.. Hermann expresses the opinion
that, SO far as the house is concerned, it
will be morally impossible to get any
| thing for great undertaking like ship
railway or a canal, and says he believes
it to be his duty to concentrate all his
efforts for the $431 900 appropriation
through the regular river and harbor bill
for a portage railway to circumyent the
rapids of the Columbia, between The
Dalles and Cello. He has telegraphed
the hoard of trade at The Dalles that a
delegation will be heard, and has urged
that statistics be forwarded. He today
moved in the river and harbor COM
mittee that hearing on this project be
given to Tony oltner, of Portland, now
here with the democratic national COM
mittee, is bringing every possible infiu-
ence to bear upon the committee. He
has submitted to congress and the COM
mittee on earnest memorial from the
states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho
and signed by Governor Pennoyer, Gov
ernor Elisha p. Ferry and Governor
Norman Wiley.

On the verge of Dissolution.

OMAHA. Jan. 22.-There is plenty of
evidence that the Union Pacific and
Northw estern traffic arrangement is not
being lived up to and is on the verge of
dissolution. The Union Pacific has
brought to Omaha number OF con-
signments from Colorado, billed for
Chicago, but instead of turning them
oyer to the Northwestern at this point,
they have been sent over the Missouri
Pacific to Kansas City and thence to
Chicago, an unnatural and roundabout
route. This has been going on for some
time and the Northwestern has been
retaliating. Railroad men are watching
the current of events with interest and
predict break within short time.

WAsnINGToN, Jan. 22.-No dispatches
were received today at either the state
or navy departments in regard to the
condition of affairs in Chill. At the
meeting of the cabinet today the Chilian
question was discussed. 1t is impossible
at this writing to obtain any official in
formation on this subject, but it is gen
orally understood the cabinet has prac-
tically decided to submit the matter to
congress early next week in order. that
congress, as well as the country at large,
might know the exact status OF the con
troversy. While such course would
not in itself indicate the termination OF
diplomatic negotiations for a settlement
of the matter in disputed it would give
the public through congress a n opportu-
nifty to determine which country is re-
sponsible for the present unsettled state
OF affairs

HACKENsAcK, n. J.,- Jan. 22.-An
equine slaughter-house has been discov-
cred in Bergen county, n. j., situated
in dense forest of the Palisades, at
point between Fort Lee ond I-eoni. The
horse butcher is Adolph Shafer, who
intends to cater to The Polish colony
about to be settled just east of Palisades
Park, station on the Northern railway
of New Jersey. A reporter who visited
Shafer's place yesterday was sickened
by the peculiar odor that prevailed. A
horse was seen in a barrel, the flesh hav-
ing been cut off. Paul Kuntz, of Palis-
AIDES Park, said he had sold an old Grip
pied horse to Shafer for 80 cents a few
days ago, but he did not have thought
about the use made of the animal.
Shafer is well known along the Northern
road, having Travelled along 1T last sum-
mer with hand organ. He is a Pole.
The authorities have been notified.

institute was veritable fre-trap. In
one room were two women, both of
whom perished. In another there was
a man whose lower extremities were
paralyzed; although unable to walk, he
dragged himself to window at the rear
of the building and threw himself out.
He dropped about eight feet to the roof,
then to another, and finally rolled off to
the ground, saving himself from death.
The entire rear half of the Georgia street
building fell in. The debris filled COM
pletely the first story, and when the
firemen began their search for the dead
they were obliged to commence work on
level with the second floor. 1t will be
several days before they can reach the
bottom.
More than score of people lost their
lives while an equal number received
injuries more or less serious. The loss
of the building, furniture, ETC., aggre-
gates about $40 200.

Several People Meet Horrible Death.

and upon their arrival the fireman

ing from the roof an! fourth -four
windows of the National Surgical
institute, located on the corner of Hi
nois and Georgia streets, with extension
on the latter street. About 250 cripples
were in the institute at the time. The
building was almost totally Senveloped
in flames, and the order was "Let the
building burn, but save the people"
When the fire was discovered it was
confined to the Georgia-street building,
but soon swept across the alley and both
buildings were soon enveloped in flames.
On the third and fourth floors horrible
work was done. The buildings were q
network of narrow halls, entrances and
stairways.
In the small rooms throughout the
building were from one to four beds, all
occupied by patients, many perfectly
helpless. When they became aware oi
their peril, they were frantic in theil
efforts to reach places of safety. Every
effort was made by the firemen, police
and ambulance forces to rescue the in
mates, and many acts of heroism ant
daring were performed. The surgica
