No More Passes.


WASHINGTON, D. c., January 4.-The inter-
state commerce commission has announced
it's decision in the railway pass case. The
Boston & Maine in its answer stated it was
in the habit of giving passes as business
feature of its administration to numerous
classes or persons, as follows: All cases of
charity; to gentlemen long eminent In the
public service; proprietors of summer hotels;
employees families; agents of ice companies
and milk contractors doing business on the
railway; higher officers of states and certain
prominent officers of the United States; rail
road commissioners of states; members OF
railroad committees of the legislatures of
Massachusetts, New Hampshire and YER
mont; trustees under mortgages on the prop
erty of the road; persons whose good will is
important to the road who might justly take
offense if they received different treatment
from that received from other railroad COR
porations.
This answer imposed upon the commission
the duty of giving construction to the act to
regulate commerce in respect to the right OF
to such classes of persons. The commission
says their construction of the law excludes
the right of railroad companies to give inter-
state passes to certain classes specified in the
answer, which included gentlemen eminent
in public service" ''higher officers of state,
''prominent officers of the United States, !"
members of railroad legislative committees
and persons whose good will Is important to
the corporation" The commission post
pones It's decision as to the other classes in
order to more fully investigate their claims
which. it is argued by the company, stands
on special grounds OF right.

For the Ladies',

WASHINGTON, d. c., January Mrs. Har-
rison is giving series of state luncheons.
Thirty-five ladies are invited to each.
At the last one the floral decorations were
all in white and green. There were palms
and tall rubber plants standing like sentinels
in the corners of the room and at either side
Of the Bullets.
The mantels had banking of low pots of
white primroses mingled with malden-hair
fern. The table decorations were in white
and green. Along the mirrored surface of
the old-fashioned plateau down the center
was an oval cushion of maiden-hair fern
studded with white camelias. At the four
corners of the cloth there were rings of white
hyacinthe blooms and roses.
The tall silver candlesticks had their tapers
capped with futted white shades. The new
small silver pieces and the new glass were
conspicuous adornements of useful sort
There was no wine served, for at each place
only water goblet and an Apollinaris tun-
bier were placed.
The ladies found loose clusters of white
rose buds, spray or two of fern and big
pin to adjust them to their corsage at their
places. The name cards were decidedly
unique.
Each had water colored portrait of lady
in the fashionable dress of all the decades in
the century. These cards were imported,
and we're etched by French artist. As
models of old time fashions, now grotesque
in the extreme, they afforded much amuse-
ment to the ladies. The name of the guest
was painted in gilt across each card.

Troops Moving.

LAREDO, TEX, December -Thirty-thrce
car loads of Mexican troops, comprising
about 1900 men, arrived in New Laredo,
Mexico, from Saltillo.
This seems to indicate that the reports OF
the advantages gained along the border bv
Garzia are not altogether wrong. These
newly arrived troops will proceed down the
river at once.
Two more companies of United States
troops are expected to arrive in this city.
They will leave at once for the lower Rio
Grande to aid in guarding the Texas frontier
from invasion by the revolutionists.
The rumor has gained circulation in the
city that the revolutionists who were cap
tured by Mexican troops in skirmlsh were
convicted and rhot.
Inquiry has failed to trace the report to
any reliable source. Matters are rapidly
growing serious. Considerable uneasiness is
felt for the company of United States cav
airy which left last Friday for some point
down the river without taking guide. Moth
ing has been heard from them since their
departure.

New York Politics.

ALBANY, N. Y, December 3L-The deci-
sion of the court of appeals caused great con-
sterna.ion among republicans, but they have
not yet given up the fight, and the leaders
are now in consultation as to what is best to
be done. The democrats are jubilant, and
prominent ones say: thereafter the repub-
lican party of this state will be dream of
the past, SO far as political standing goes.
The democrats have now complete control
of the state government, and the Enumeration
bill will be rushed through and at once fol-
lowed by the reapportionment and redistrict-
ing bill.
The importance of the democrats control
ling the senate is not only local but national,
as it may possibly decide the next election
for the presidency. as there will surely be a
reapportionment of the state in the interest
of the democrats. Besides this importance
there is great deal of patronage in appoint
ments of officials to places so long held by
republicans, such as health officers. quaran-
tine com missioners, railroad commissioners.
civil service commissioners, state asses

Burned Barrels.

BAYoNNE, N. j., January 1.-THE great
barrel works of the Standard Oil company at
Constable Hook are burned down.
The loss is estimated at from 81, 000. 900 up
ward. The fire started at 800 at night in the
heading room of the barrel works.
1t was discovered by the night Waterman,
who SAID it seemed to spring up in all direc-
tions. The entire Bayonne fire department
worked at the fire, but the barrel factory was
entirely destroyed. The building was filed
with hundreds of thousands of barrels and
cut lumber, ready to be converted into bar
rels. between 100000 and 2,O00. 900 barrel
heads and from 10,000, 600 to 1900, 900 bar
rel slaves.
The structure was about $50 feet long, 200
feet wide and three stories high. It stood III
an enclosure of about six acres. Great stacks
of lumber were piled all about.
These caught fire and burned fercely. Soon
there were five acres of flames lighting up
the surrounding country. Next to the barrel
factory were the chemical works, and all
efforts were directed toward saving them.
After long and hard fight, during which
the firemen worked in constant peril of their
lives, as a single spark falling among the
chemicals would have been enough to have
caused an explosion which would have blown
them all into eternity, their efforts were sue
cessful and the chemical works were saved.

A Panic on a Steamer.

n FdIllC OF q StSdInots
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, December 3L-The
steamer City of Bridgeport left New York as
usual. When the boat reached q point off
Norwalk passengers observed flames burst
ing from the floor of the women's cabin. In
q second the widest excitement prevailed.
The passengers, mostly women and children,
returning from a shopping tour in New York,
were panic-stricken. There was a rush for
life preservers, and women tainted. Many
men on board lost their presence of mind
and thought only of themselves, some secur-
ing three life preservers, while helpless
women and children had none. The officers
on the boat were unsuccessful in their efforts
to restrain the passengers. The crew was
ordered to the pumps, but they could not be
made to work for several minutes. In the
meantime the flames, which started at the
bottom of the smoke-stack, gained consider
able headway. The captain ordered the pilot
TO head for the Connecticut shore and to
keep within three minutes run of land, and
the engineer to proceed at full steam. The
crew worked at the pumps for half an hour,
and succeeded in extinguishing the flames.
The passengers could not be prevailed upon
to remove the ife-preservers fastened about
their bodies until the boat reached her wharf
in this city, when the flames again burst out
anew, but for the second time were extin-
guished.s As quickly as possible the passen-

saved the boat from destruction and the pas
aeugers from horrible death. Tho plpa

Kansas the Only State Making
Sugar From Sorghum
The Output Of the Three Kansas
Factories-Beet Sugar Industry
Crowing-More Sugar 10 Now
Made From Beets Than From
Cane.

WASHINGTON D. c.. January The conn
missioner Of internal revenue has issued .
special report on the sugar industry. Il in
cludes some interesting information about
the sorghum sugar production of Kansas. In
March last congress passed q law providing
for the payment of q bounty Of cents per
pound ON ell sugar produced in the United
States from beets, sorghum, sugar cane OK
maple sap, the sugar to test 80 degrees.
The commissioner says that Kansas 10 the
only state which is producing sorghum sugar.
Last year the production of tho state was
1,1s2,0A pounds. Only three factories in
Kansas have applied to him this year for the
bounty. They are the Parkinson Sugar
company of Fort Scott, the Medicine Lodge
Sugar Works and Refining company, and
Pape & Hansford of Topeka. The Parkinson
company planted L, 200 acres of cane and es-
timated their production at 1O00, 900
pounds The Medicine Lodge company had
5,434 acres planted, but their estimate pro-
duction is only 10000 pounds. Pape &
Hansford report to the commissioner that
they planted J, 800 acres and say they will
apply for bounty on about 100000 pounds.
The commissioner says in his report: Reg
ulations has been issued by this Office govern

houses, free of tax, Of distilled spirits to be
used in the manufacture of sugar from sor-
ghum, pursuant to this provision. The sor-
ghum manufacturers have not taken advan-
tage OF this provision the present season.
The use of alcohol, free of tax. by manufac-
turers of sugar from sorghum for the pur-
pose of separating the gummy matter from
the sorghum juice promises to be of great
advantage to the industry In Kansas. Re-
cent experiments made in this direction by
the department of agriculture show that the
yield of sugar from sorghum cane will be
about doubled by the new process"
The report says regarding the beet sugar
industry: SIN the continental countries of
Europe this industry has grown within re-
cent years to great dimensions, so that now
the production of beet sugar in the world ex-
ceeds that of the cane. The improved meth
DDS of manufacture and the protective sys-
tenn established in those countries, and the
payment of bounties to beet sugar manufac-
turers on exporting their product have pro-
duced this result. The bounty granted to
manufacturers of sugar, tine admission free
of duty of beet sugar machinery until July l,
1892, and the encouragement given by the
department of agriculture in the experiments
for the benefit of the farmers, and the aid
given by the different states will doubtless
have the effect of stimulating tbs industry in
this country. In 1880 thres factories in this
country 1.-TWO in California and one in Ne
braska) produced about 100000 pounds.
Three additional factories have been estab-
ished during the past year, and it is esti-'
mated that their production this year will be
u, 900 QUO pounds"

Garzla Initiating Diaz.

WASHINGTON. D. c., December 31.-Acting
Secretary Grant said that he regarded the
situation on the Mexican frontier as serious,
and the war department was exerting itself
to prevent further violation of the neutrality
by Garzia's band of revolutlonists. If it is
necessary to prevent these men from cross
ing backwards and forwards between Mexico
and the United Stases, the entire force of
Stanley's command will be distributed along
the bank of the Rio Grande. 1t is believed
at the war department that Garzia's move
ment is gaming strength Notwithstanding
the efforts of the United States and Mexican
troops to restrain it, and some officers recall
the fact that Diaz, president of Mexico,
reached his present station through a revolu-
tionary movement conducted across the
boundary just as Garzia is conducting his
campaign, ~

watchmaker's strike.

ELan, January 5.-Three thousand oper-
atives of the Elgin National Watch Company
stand ready to strike, and only await The sig-
nal. Several hundred skilled workmeu IN.
two departments have walked out, and unless
all signs fail, the strike will become general.
Nothing else is talked of. Groups of men
met on every corner, despite the bitter cold,
and discussed the situation.
Two weeks ago there were rumors that q
general cut-down was contemplated By the
management. These rumors were verified.
on the pay day following, when the employees
found their wages decreased from 10 to 20
per cent. The employees of the jewelry room.
at once quit work. They were then told by
the officials that the reduction would be made
up in the next pay roll and then the old ecnles
would be in force, but they were not satisded
with this promise, and the one sentiment ex-
pressed is that strike is inevitable. The q.
sertion is also made that :, 800 employees OF
the Waltham Watch Company are Organised
and about to strike on account of recent ne
duction in their wages.

A General Storm.

CHICAGO, I1L.-Plate glass windows were
smashed, awnings wrecked, signs broken,
structural work on new buildings levelled and
car-starter boxes upset in the gale that swept
over Chicago from II to 2 O'Clock this morn
ing. The lake was wild, the waves beating
the breakwater in a mighty roar and the
spray shooting up fifty feet into the air, then
to be frozen and carried far out on land.
There were no vessels out, as visit to the
barge Office showed, and little would have
been left of any lake craft caught outside of
the harbors in last nights gale.
Among the seamen the wind was said to be
the worst experienced since the wrecking of
the new lake tunnel crib three years ago.
Dispatches from Milwaukee, Wis. Little
Rock, Ark, and various points in Iowa and
Illinois report that the rain and fog of New
Years day was succeeded last night by severe
blizzard. At Arkansas City, Ark, eleven
buildings were blown down and several per-
sons injured. No deaths have been chron-
icled, but the damage to stockmen, small
buildings and shrubbery will be very great.
