FOURTEEN COLUMNS OF SONG,
The Longest Message Ever Sent by Any
Cable

The Longest Message Ever Sent by Any
Cable.
In December, 1877, the whole of Swim
ourne's tragedy, ''Lochrine, was cabled
from London to the New York Times.
An enterprising American firm offered
an early copy of proofs Of "Lochrine"
TO the editor of the New York Times for
one hundred dollars, with the stipula-
ton that the tragedy should not be pub
lished till the morning of December 49,.
Unfortunately, the editor was away,
and when he got back he found that the
proofs had already been disposed Of to
the New York Sun. The editor at once
wired his representative in London ask
ing him to get some early sheets of
"Lochrine" and cable them through.
This was done, and on the morning
Of December II, 1887, the New York
Times came out with fourteen columns
Of eighteen thousand words, containing
he whole Of Swim burne's tragedy, just
@wo days before The Sun, which had all

off. The editor paid one thousand two
hundred and fifty dollars down for the
use of the cable for five hours, and thus
obtained 'Lochrine. Six columns were
cabled from New York to the Standard
With description of the assassination
of President Lincoln in 1881.
The longest telegram ever dispatched
was Ithe entire New Testament as re-
vised, which was telegraphed from New
York to the Chicago Tribune, to be set
up as news, for their issue of May 20,
1882. Sixteen of the twenty pages OF

Congress in Chicago


CH1CAGo.-The visiting representatives and
senators had busy day of it to-day. At 10
O'Clock they were conveyed on special trains
over the Illinois Central suburban track to
the worlds fair grounds, where they made a
special inspection of the progress that has
been made on each of the buildings, as we'll
as on the lagoons and grounds.
Headquarters were established in the wo-
mems building, in which the inevitable lunch
con with sundry concomitants had been
spread. The largest map of the grounds SO
far made, on the scale of forty inches to the
hundred feet, was hung up on one of the
pillars for the inspection of those of the wish
tors who did not care to travel about in the
mud and snow.
Drawings of all the buildings were also dis
played. After the congressman had seen all
khat they wanted to see they were driven over
TO the Washington Park club, where more
refreshments were served.
Then the train arrived in time for the exer-
cises of the Union League club at the Audito-
rum, the principal feature of which was an
Grafton by General Stewart Woodford.
Tonight they will be guests at one of the
finest banquets ever given in the city. The
commercial club will be the host, and the
Grand Pacific the scene. The tables win be
laid in the main banquet room, which will be
decorated with palms and plants of all de-
ecriptions to represent dollhouse. AT the
conclusion of the banquet, or sometime along
after midnight, the visitors will get aboard q
special train for New York.

How the Trouble Began.

How the Trouble Began.
BERLIN, March 1.-Tracing the immediate
genesis of the riots, it will be found in the
appeal of unemployed masons to Burgomas-
ter Forckenbeck for employment in munich
pal work. The city authorities could give no
assurance of giving work to the unemployed.
Then followed the meeting of 35, COO unem-
ployed masons, carpenters and painters. The
resolutions adopted by the meeting simply
declared that, in view of the distress prevail
ing, the state authorities might begin to erect
furnish work for the destitute. There is no
truth in the report that the extreme socialistic
views were expressed and that the crowd de
manded the government to furnish them
with work or bread. Several speakers made
addresses and proposed that demonstration
be made to show the people of Berlin and the
authorities the great number of men who
were out of work. The sense of the meeting,
however, seemed to be against making Q
manifestation of any kind. The truth of the
whole matter is that the wOrkingmen at first
had nothing to do with the demonstration.
As the excitement expanded, the ferment
among the better class of workingmen has
grown.
The emperor's advice to malcontents to
emigrate has added fuel to the flames, and
the end now cannot be told, though it is Ger.
tain that if the soldiery are called upon much
bloodshed will follow.
Berlin is not alone in troubles. Distress is
prevalent in every populous center in Ger
many, and the cry for bread is clamorous
During the week bread riots have occurred
in Dantsic and Brunswick. Meetings of the
suffering poor have been held in Hamburg
and Breslau. In scores of places strikes that
have occurred during the past few months,
always resulting in the defeat of the men and
the exhaustion of benefit funds, have assisted
employers to reduce work, causing further
trouble for the men.

Midgley to Pass Upon It.

Mlo2ley to Pass Upon 1t.
CHICAGO, February N.-A short time ago
the general managers of roads interested in
Kansas traffic had a conference with the rail-
road commissioners of Kansas relative to the
orders reducing freight rates of the fifth class
In that state. The result was compromise
forced, the general managers agreeing to
make liberal reduction in through rates
from Chicago to Kansas points on such COM
modities as sugar, coffee, beans and canned
goods. The proposition was to make the
rate on sugar to Salina, Hutchinson, Wichita
and Arkansas City Is cents per 100 pounds
above the Kansas City rate, and on coffee,
beans and canned goods as follows: To Sa-
lima, % cents; Hutchinson and Wichita Is
cents, and Arkansas City, % cents above
Kansas City. The railroad commissioners
consented to this arrangement, and Il was
supposed the whole matter was settled.
But the managers made the mistake of as
Stunning they Were actually managers of their
own lines. They have since been reminded
that Chairman Midgley of the Western Traffic
association, may have something to say about
the matter.
The protest against the proposed reduction
has been made by certain members whose
lines do not extend beyond the Missouri NV
er, but who would be compelled to reduce
proportions of their through rate under the
new arrangement. They contend that the
Kansas roads had no right to enter into an
agreement involving q change in rates with
out notifying Chairman Midgely in advance
OF their intention, and proceeding in the
manner provided by the rules and agreement
of the association.
Chairman Midgely has been asked for
ruling ON the question.

L. Parkinson, of Ottawa, Kan, is here en-
route bone from Europe, where he has been
giving his attention to the culture of the beet
root. The judge said he had mills at Ottawa,
Medicine Lodge and Fort Scot, the latter
the most prosperous, and why all should not
succeed he saw no reason. The climate. soil
and situation of Kansas were all correct for
the successful raising of the beet, and his in
vestigations proved to him that all that was
wanting was the method. Whether the farmer
in this country would get of of his sulky

would the success of the beet and beet sugar
was assured.

That Unfortunate Speech.


BERLIN, February 27.-The Emperor Will
liam's speech, made at Brandenburg, in
tensely excites political circles, it being held
by some that dangerous crisis is inevitable.
It is reported that when the sectarlan edu-
cation bill in the Prussian deit reaches the
oberhaus, Prince Bismarck, at the head of
the strongest party ever known in Germany,
will oppose the government.
The Vossiche Zeitung observes that if all
the Discontinued left the country, as advised
to do by the emperor in his speech, the adher-
ents of Prince Bismarck would be included
among those departing. The Vossiche article
adds: Nobody would be left but the Cath
olics."
The socialist journal, Vorwaerts, says it de-
clines for the socialists the emperor's invita-
ton to emigrate, adding: ''The emperor
would rule over desert if all the indictments
left his dominions. T"
During the evening hundreds of unem-
ployed persons carried by storm the butchers
and bakers shops IL the Koepenikand quar-
ter of the city. smashing in windows and
looting the shops of their contents.
The police made repeated charges upon the
mob and were engaged in various conflicts
with them until the mob finally dispersed.

Situation at the Prusslan Capital.
BERIN.-The government is in no humor
to pander to the socialists in any way, and
any further overt act on their part to meas
ure strength with the authorities will be met
in such a way as will make history for Ger
many.
There is no denying the fact that the situa-
ton is serious, and that it is so felt to be by
the government.
The police are as yet intrusted with the
work of preserving order SO far as possible,
and though the troops were onfned in their
barracks, they lave not yet been called upon
to face the rioters.
The disorders on the outskirts of Berlin
were far more serious than those that took
place in the city. A body of 200 men took
possession of Landsburg strasse and marched
to Gruenening, shouting, Yelling, and smash
ing windows of stores and dwellings along
the route. At the same time mob number
ing a thousand marched from Frankfurter
strasse to and along Schilling strasSe. They,
too, acted in a disorderly manner, jostling
the passers-by, smashing windows and yell
ing.
Their district. The police were unable to
cope with so many disturbances in so many
different localities, and for some little time
the rioters had thi" gs all their own way.
A relief detachment of soldiers marched
toward the castle to take the places of the
guards on dut there. They were followed
by large mob of roughs, who tainted them
with unfolding the rich against the poor. A
body O. police had been drawn across the
street, near the imperial palace, to prevent
any one but the guards from entering the
castle square. The roughs tried to break
through, and fight ensued between the mob
and police.
Finally detachment of mounted police
arrived and rode down the mob, which scat
tered in every direction. Many of the roughs
were trampled on by horses, but the police
men had no mercy on the fugitives, and
drove their horses at head-long speed over
any of the mob who stood in their way.
Many were injured in this encounter. 1t is
now evident that the s-ldiery will be used
only as a last resort to establish order.
