the lannon's football team. Mr. Warren,
after season of hard study and severe
physical training in the gymnasium. came
to Washington with his classmate. q son of
George p. Frazer. who lives at No. 2O13
Hillyer place. to spend the holidays.
Ever since the last foot ball game in
which Princeton participated Mr.. Warren
has suffered from injuries received on the
field In this game besides bruise
of the nose, he received q severe twist of
the neck. He did not pay much attention
to his hurts at the time. but since then he
has complained OF pains III his head. Young
Warren and his classmate arrived in WASH
ington several days ago. and went at once
to the Frazer residence. They attended
the concert gwen by the Princeton Glee
gether early. At that hour young Warren
seemed to be perfectly rational. About 6
o'clock the next morning the butler noticed
Warren going out without his 0verooat
and remarked to him: You had better
take your overcoat, sir; it is cold"

been put into operation in an endeavor to
locate the missing man. No definite clew
has "a yet been obtained. 1t was reported
last evening. however. that . young man
answering to the description Of Warren
was seen in the Ebbitt House yester-
day. Foul play is feared. but the sugges-
tion is also made that the injuries re-
ceived by Mr.. Warren in the football
game finally affected his brain, and that
he wandered away somewhat confused in
mind.

In the HOnse.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The House passed
the first regular appropriation bill to-day
and Representatives are congratulating
themselves that at last the regular work of
the session has been entered upon When
the committee of the whole reported the
amended military academy appropriation
bill, the Republicans demanded the yeas
and nays on one or two Democratic amend
ments reducing various items of the appro-
priations. They were voted down how
ever, and the bill as finally passed contains
various reductions aggregating in the total
about S65, 600.
The House then went into committee OF
the whole on the private calendar. A dis
cussion arose over a motion to credit

Census Bulletin ON Flax Productions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The superinten-
dent of census has sent to press bulletin
on flax productions. 1t shows the total area
OF land devoted to its cultivation in the
United States in 1889 to have been 1878, 69S
acres; production of fax seed, l0,250. 4l0
bushels; production of fibre, 24l, 3S9
pounds; amount of fax straw sold or so
utilized as to have determined value,
2O1,1 57 tons, and the total value of all fax
products, $40, 436, 22S. Although fax seed
is reported from thirty-one states, Mime
sofa, South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska
produce S0.O6 per cent of the total amount,
or 1,O45,6 l3 bushels in excess of the entire
production of the United States at the
census of 1850. Flax is now cultivated
almost exclusively for the seed, and in the
old hore producing states its cultivation is
almost entirely abandoned. South Dakota
lad the largest acreage in 1889 and Mime
sofa the largest production OF seed. OF
states containing 10000 acres or upwards
IN flax, Wisconsin had the highest average
yield of flax seed per acre, Hap bushels,
and the highest average value per acre of
all flax products, S13. 49, Throughout the
greater portion of the principal fax seed
producing regions, flax straw is of little
value, and much of the so-called fibre is
only an inferior quality of tow used chiefly
for upholstering purposes. There are in
dications, however, of a revival in the
United States of the linen industry that
will afford market for fine fax fore of
domestic production, branch of agricul-
ture that for many years has been almost
extinct.

Union Pacific Grievance Committees.

OMAHA, Neb. 12.-TSpecisl telegram to
THE HERALD. The Union Pacific griev-
ance committees are holding joint session
tonight and thoroughly explaining the
situation to their grand officers, Messrs.
Clark and Morrissey. They will seek
conference with General Manager Clark
tomorrow, but that stage may not be
reached until next week. An Official who
stands very close to the Union Pacific's
general manager, makes a statement that
may be regarded as significant of the COM
pany's attitude. He asserts that thes ched-
ule submitted by the conductors and train
men embodied seven principles that
would, if adopted, increase the wages
of these employees by $500, 900 per year.
He says the Union Pacific is not in a COM
dition to bear such an addition TO its oper-
ating expenses He maintains that its en-
ployees are paid better wages on the whols
than those of other roads, and he THINKS
their demands in that direction wholly uh-
reasonable. Where the Union Pacific has
absorbed other lines, as In the case of the
Denver s. Fort Worth, there are moon
gruities in the rules governing the en-
ployees, and this official intimates strongly
that the company will be disposed to cor
rect Inconsistencies. The inference is that
the railroad will oppose any other changes
calculated to increase the outgo for wagea-

The Stone Timber Case.

BOISE, Ida, Feb. 12.-TSpecial telegram
to THE HERALD. The time of the court
was taken up with the arguments of
counsel in the Stone timber case. Fremont
Wood opened for the government and
made mastery argument from his stand
point. The trouble with counsel was that
evidence did not turn out as it was repre-
scented to him, and Mr.. Wood had been
laboring under difficulties. Judge Hagan
followed for the defense in his humorous
and pointed style. He almost laughed the
case out of court. Judge Mcbride fol-
lowed Hagan IN q mastery array of the
evidence and marshaling of the facts be-
fore the jury in favor of his client, Mr..
Stone. He was especially severe upon
Haley, government timber agent, whom
he denounced in severe terms as entering
into collusion with certain parties to
extort money from Stone 1t appeared
from the evidence that Haley had been
instrumental IN indicting men before
the grand jury and when on the stand
he admitted that he had not made
a personal examination of the claims
Quite sensation was produced in court
this afternoon. AS Judge Mcbride was
going on with powerful argument, Haley
jumped to his feet and addressing Nc
Bride said in loud voice, "You are a
liar" Judge Beatty, who had not been
paying much attention, when he caught
Haley's words, said severely: MIR Haley,
you will at once leave this room. l will
attend to your case further at another
time" Haley with quite crestfallen air
arose and SUNK out of the room. Judge
Mcbride mildly interposed in Haley's be-
half and said he did not wish him ex PEELED
from the room, but the judge was firm and
Haley will likely come up before his honor
on the charge Of contempt of court. Haley

day, debate was continued on Redmond's
amendment in favor of releasing treason
and felony prisoners, Fitzgerald complained
of the silence of Sir William Vernon Har-
court, whom he regarded the real iailor
of Egan and DAILY. Sir William, he said,
had summed debate. The prisoners had
been convicted of the most heinous crime
that could be conceived of. He concluded
BIS denouncing F'enianism as calculated 10
lncite outrages. His remarks about Fenan-
ism were frequently and warmly inter-
rupted by the Irish members. William
Redmond strongly repudlated the assertion
that Fenianism incited to violence. He
said, amid Irish cheers, that men in Ireland
had been driven to desperation by the
tyranny of successive governments. After
further debate, Redmoud's amendment
was negatived 1858 to 81.

Ohio LEAGUE of Renuhl.c,n cluhu.

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 12.-The Ohio
League of Republican Clubs held its
seventh annual convention here to-day.
In point OF oratory and enthusiasm, it COM

MIR. Cassett on the Reading Deal.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12.-Mr. Cassett,
one of the directors Of the Pennsylvania
Railway company, speaking of the new
Reading ombination to-day, said he
thought it the most audacious and impudent
defiance of the law and constitution of the
state ever attempted in Pennsylvania
Here is an attempt by great monopoly to
get almost the entire anthracite coal out
put of the state and the entire output, in
fact, except very small part controlled by
the Pennsylvania railway. Mr.. Cassett
did not think the projectors of the com
bination could have forgotten the
result of the litigation growing out of
the proposed purchase by the Pennsylvania
company of the South Pennsylvania road a
few years ago. He thinks the governor of
the state, being the same one vino took
action against the Pennsylvania, will take
legal steps against this great monopoly.
Mr. Johnson, of counsel for the Reading,
said this evening there was no comparison
between the Reading deal and the frus-
trated Pennsylvania deal mentioned by
Cassett. The Lehigh Valley and Jersey
Central are in no sense parallel or actually
competing lines with the Reading; there
fore the same rule will not apply.

Evidence for CARLYLE Harris.

Especial 10 THE HERALD-EXamlner Dispatch.
CHICAGO, Feb. l2.-The Press of this city
claims to have discovered TO- day new evil
dence for Carlyle w. Harris, under SEN
tence of death at New York for the alleged
poisoning Of his young wife, Helen NJ.
Potts. The gist of the supposed discovery
in the celebrated case is that the wife used
morphine at least six weeks before death
for identifying her complexion and it was
given her by a friend in Chicago. The
friend is a young man named Carl Peter
son, who was an intimate friend of Harris
in New York, and who is engaged to Miss
Molie Moker, of Asbury Park, n. j., the
inseparable companion of Miss Potts. Pc
terson says he generally carries a small
bottle of morphine and it was standing on
the mantel in his room one day when the
young aides visited him. Before leaving
Miss Potts poured a quantity of it on a
sheet Of paper. My GOD Helen,'' l said,
What are you going to do with that.
Why, you have enough there TO kill a dozen
men. Don't be a goose she replied, L

up. put it in her pocket and left the room. -

Especial to TEE HERALD-ExamIner Dispatch. |
NEW YORK, Feb ia World special
from Washington says: Senator Cul ON,
of Illinois, is the first of those Republican
leaders whose presidential aspirations

egation from Illinois to the Minneapolis

recognizes IN the northwest is General
Alger, and he way in which the Cullom
people discuss the candidacy of the Michi-
gan millionaire shows that they expect to
obtain q victory over him. he nomination
of Alger, they declare, would bring scandal
on the party. Success in the convention
would be stained with money, and success
