he will accomplish the unusual. Sam
Collier tried three times to beat his

twice to beat Mace. Among the notable

may be cited, King who beat Mace in the

it fair to presume that RYAN will win;
Needham's hands not being right, and

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. Gloon
siderable excitement prevails here over
the robbery by ghouls of the grave of Miss

and conveyed for several miles BY the
body snatchers to the Central college OF
Physicians and Surgeons. The deceased

any attempts at that which has been &C
complished. the body was kept in a vault
five weeks and buried in a private ceme-
terry in one of the suburbs of the city.
The body had been removed only a few
hours before the crime was discovered by
accident. Four footprints in the snow
and fresh gravel In the roadway in the
neighborhood of the burying ground
aroused the suspicious of the owner of the
cemetery, who was returning from a lodge
meeting. He investigated aud found

at 8 o'clock a. m.
Most Pitiful Disaster That Ever
Visited Indianapolis.
indianapolis Fire swept.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Jan. 2l.-One of
the most appalling fires in the history of
Indianapolis occurred late to night. The
National Surgical Institute, one OF the
most famous of its kind in the country,
was burned to the ground. The fire
started at midnight in an Office building.
Above the offices were wards for babes
and mothers. The smoke was discovered
a few minutes before midnight issuing
from the advertising room. It is believed
that it had been caused by spontaneous
combustion and in fifteen minutes the
whole lower floor was in flames. The at
tendants barely awakened all the patients,
and in the halls and upper rooms pande.
moniun reigned. Shrek after shrek for
help went up as the inmates realized their
terrible situation.
In a few minutes white faces could be
seen at each window of the large building
and the unfortunate creatures yelled be
seechiDg appeals to those below for aid.
The police. fireman and attendants worked
diligently and many patients were saved
from the burning building in a short time.
The patients who were able to get about
at all assisted nobly in the work of rescue.
A view in the halls and on the stairways
before the fire was communicated to the
maip building furnished a weird sight.
Patients wrapped in bed clothing
crawled and helped themselves along from
one floor and one landing to another.
Cots were hurriedly constructed from
mattresses and policemen and tiremen
carried the rescued across the street to
the new annex. Those seriously burned
in the hands and limbs are numerous.
AT 2:30 a. m. 1t is stated two women
who jumped from windows are dead. 1t
is also reported several dead bodies have
been found in the debris. The fire is now
under control.
LATER-3 a. m.-Dr. Allen, proprietor
of the institute, at this hour feels certain
there are several dead bodies in the MAN
building and several more in the annex.
1t is also stated that at least six children
were suffocated in one OF the rooms.

NATIONAL supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-Iu the
United States supreme court today the
case Of the anarchists, Fielden and Schwab
was argued.
Salomon argued there was a violation
Of the constitutional rights of the pris-
oners in not having them in the court at
the time of the sentence, and likewise In
refushing to show the facts. The chief
Justice suggested the state supreme court
merely fixed the time for tho execution.
Solomon asserted the court did more by
reciting that the persons were present.
He hen affirmed there was no authority
BY which the governor could direct the
enforcement OF his Communication of the
sentence. Attorney General Hunt, of
Illinois, followed Solomon in behalf Of
the state.
He maintained that the supreme court
of the United States had no jurisdiction
to pass upon the action of the supreme
court of Illinois. The alleged error on
the part of that court was the refusal to
amend its record and show that Fielder
and Schwab were not bodily present when
judgment was rendered. This court had
the jurisdiction to review the state courts
offnal resort only when a federal aues-
ton was involved. No federal question
was involved here. Moreover, the Illinois
supreme courts judgment on the motion
was not the condemnation of the parties,
but simply the refusal to interfere with
its own. record.
1t was not until the next term of court
that men filed their objection. and he
asked when the litis alton would end, #
council could come in at any time and
call errors in the record. There is in the
case a suggestion that the two men are
subjects Of Great Britain and Germany.
Attornew General Hunt said he was una
bic to find anything in the treaties by
which the case could be affected; that a
foreigner stood on no better ground than
an American citizen.
Gen. Butler said when the rights guar
anteed by the treaty to foreigners are
brought into the question. he Is entitled
to adjudication through the courts OF the
United States, and therefore that the fed
eral question will come up in the records.
Hunt said the claim that Schwab's i'm
prisonment under Communication by the
governor was illegal, was novel and anus
ing.
Gen. Butler will make the closing argu-
ment tomorrow.

Senate.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Eli The land loan
bill was discussed in the senate today.
Mitchell asked Stanford whether under
the proposed bill, any large corporation
that was a large owner of land (the land
grant OF railroads for example) could not
borrow to half the assessed value of their
lands. Stanford replied in the afirma-
tive. Morrill, inquired whether there was
to be more than one place in each state
where money was to be lent by the govern
ment. Stanford said the idea was to have
an agency of the land bureau in every
large CITY and town OF a state. Morrill,
suggested that that would entail a very
large expense and Stanford replied the
agency would not be necessary in every
state. PETER made a long speech in
advocacy of the bill. which was then laid
aside. The La Abra bill was again taken
up but without disposing of it the senate
went into executive session and soou adj
journed until Monday.

The south aud OBJECTION.

Some time ago the Charleston News
and Courier, commenting on the prog
ress and development of the cotton in
dustry of the South, made this state
ment:
There is one class of stock that has not
been IN the least affected by the financial
troubles of the past summer, and that rs
the stock of Southern cotton factories
The New York brokers are anxious 10
gobble up all the stock in the leading
Southern mills that they can lay their
hands on. No class of investments has
paid better returns Or been less influenced
by the general stagnation of business. All
the South Carolina stocks are in active de-
mand at good figures above par.
There is a good deal Of significance in
that paragraph. Without the upbuilding
influence of protection does the News
and Courier suppose for moment that
the industries of the South would have
been in such prosperous condition?
The cotton mills of the South have been
established under protection, and not
under free trade. During all the years
of free trade the manufacturing indus
tries Of the South slumbered and slept
1t took protection to bring them into
activity; and so successful has their
progress been that the News and Cour-
Ter in September last stated that during
the business year then closed the num-
Der of manufacturing enterprises in
Charleston had increased from $50 to
3Q3

ELI Sports with n Democratic Editor.

Eli Perkins went South to lecture o
short time ago. While in Nashville he
was interviewed by the Nashville
American, and related the following in
cident: "Well, the best political joke
of the season happened at Charleston.
found Mr.. Hemphill, the brilliant free
trade editor of the old free trade
News and Courier, writing editorials in
favor Of protective tariff on rice and
sea island cotton.
Why said he, 'the Egyptians
ton over here last year and sold It for IL
cents pound. They knocked down the
price Of our South Carolina long staple
cotton. And those cheap-labor Chinese
sent thousands of bushels of rice, made
by low-priced cents per day labor, to
break down our well-paid labor in
South Carolina. Now continued Mr..
Hemphill, you Yankees have a tariff
against corn, wool, rye, barley and
wheat coming from Canada, and why
can't we Rebs have tariff against the
Egyptians and Chinese ?"
being a high protective tariff man
myself felt like hugging Mr. Hemphill.
AT last said, the protective tariff
Yank and the free trade Reb stand on
the same platform. Arise and sing"
10 show now the protecuon leaVcn Is
doing its perfect work in the South, the
following comment on the Eli Perkins
interview, made by the Augusta Ca
Chronicle, a Democratic paper, will
make it very clear:
Had this story been told year or so ago
Editor Hemphill would no doubt have APP
pealed to the reputation which the genial
Eli enjoys for unacquaintance with the
truth as his surest defence, but he will not
do so now. Editor Hemphill has taken
the practical view that while protection is
the policy of the country he had better try
to get some of the benefits of it for his Sec
ton and people, He wants to investigate
in practical way the question: 'Does
Protection Protect ?'

Two Unprejudicsd Foreign Views or the
Tariff.

This is English, and from the Shelf
field Telegraph: "The promoters of the
Mckinley tariff meant it to push for
ward the policy Of America for the
Americans. One method of realizing il
was to keep all work within their own
dominions. The country was to be
made self-supplying; what could be
produced at home was not to be bought
abroad. That was the keynote of the
Mckinley scheme, and it is working
out the idea of its designers with the
precision and effectiveness of ma
chine"
This is German, and from the Frank
fort Zeitung: ave hear triumphant
shouts coming from the United States,
our rans-Atlantic rival. The documents
signed at Saratoga by the German and
American representatives, which we
publish this morning, represent a great
victory for the American Union, vic
tory which costs the victor nothing, a
conquest without blow. 1t is an ex-
preston of the superior natural condi-
tons of natural life and of the superior
commercial diplomacy of the trans
Atlantic state of the future over effete
Europe, poor alike in blood and
thought" The Sheffield paper is emf
nently right in suggesting that the Me-
Kinley tariff means the pushing for
ward the policy of America for Ameri-
cans. That is what makes America
strong, and it is this that makes Ameri-
can working people the most prosper
Gus of any people in the world.

Toronto Peculiaritics.

Toronto is probably the strictest
Sabbataran city in America, and very
few cities in any part OF the world
are more rigid. All business is sus-
pended on Sunday, all stores are
closed; it is even forbidden to sell
newspapers or soda water; no street
ears are allowed to run, and any kind
OF transportation is difficult to get.
But a great many of the less truly
good Torontonians have been OBJ
jecting strongly to the tightness of
things. Queens Park is a beautiful
place, but it is quite long way out
Of town, and, as no street cars are
allowed to run, many thousands OF
citizens are deprived of the enjoy
ment of the park simply because they
cannot walk the great distance. The
strect-car question has been made a
political issue, and 1t is probable 1T
will be decided at the polls at the
coming municipal election.
