Russian Famine Relief.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2o.-The national
committee for the relief of the Rus
sian famine has prepared report Of
the work accomplished. The state.
ment deals in detail with the differ
ent sections of the country. Besides
the corn sent from the northwestern
states upwards of 500, 900 was sent di-
recly to Russia. of which S3s, 900 may be
credited to the New York chamber of
commerce; IS, 900 and over to the
Iowa commission; $1,000 to Rus
sian settlers in Nebraska; S3,4s1
to the South Dakota commission,
and over $4,000 to the American Ma
tional Red Cross. The reception of
gifts by Russia was unprecedented in
its hospitality and kindly appreciated,
and the demonstrations were repeated
as often as one of our ships touched the
Russian shore.

FIRES AT MILWAUKEE.

Two Occur About the Same Time and Are
Believed to Be Incendiary.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 26. - Two fires
which broke out within an hour of each
other Sunday afternoon tend to con-
firm the suspicion that has existed in
connection with the several fires in
this city, dating back to the big fire,
that an incendiary, if not an organ
lied band Of frebugs, is at work in this
city.
At 3:4S o'clock Sunday afternoon an
alarm was sent in for a fire at the
old Cream City -four mill at the south
west corner Of East Water and Chi
cago streets, and called out by a Sec
ond alarm all the fire depart
ment from the business district of
the city. The engines were at work at
the fire when an alarm was sent in at
4:31 o'clock for a fire in the factory of
the Gem and Knitting and Hammock
company, Nos 1874 to lSs Hanover
street, followed few minutes
later by second alarm. In conse-
quence of the delay of the fremen
in reaching the second fire the factory
was soon in flames from front to rear
on the four floors BY extraordinary
work and hard fight lasting over two
hours the fremen succeeded in confin-
ing the flames to the knitting factory,
which is total loss.
Meanwhile the flour mill was burn.
ing fiercely. Although it was confined
to the old mill it was several hours be.
fore the fire was entirely un.
der control The aggregate loss
through both fires is S120,.
600. The Knitting company's loss
is $1,000 and their insurance
$50, 900. The loss on the building,
owned by Capt. Pabst, is $50, 1000, fully
covered by insurance. On the flour
mill and machinery. both owned by
Matthew Keenan,, the loss is about
$40, 900 with no insurance,

her railroad Discrimination Measures
Call for Retaiiation-so at Least Thinks
President Harrison.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The president
has called upon the executive depart
ments for all Information in their
possession relative to freights
coming into the United States
over the Canadian Pacific rail-
road. The unjust discrimination
against United States railroads made
by law or rather by its construction in
favor of the Canadian Pacific railroad
by means of consular seal system has
long been a source of complaint
Under it freights are shipped
from Canada to interior ports in
the United States. The United States
consul certifies that the manifest
is correct, that he has sealed and closed
the car, and that certitcaJion carries
the freight through without inspection
at the border, thus saving from one to
two days delay and the cost of re-
handling. When the law was passed
the traffic was small.
1t is contended at the treasury de-
partment that the privileges were orig
inally confined to the products of Can
ada, and United States consuls should
give personal attention to inspecting
the shipments. Gradually the business
has grown, and the law has been per-
verted, till now more goods having their
origin in China and Japan are shipped
than products of Canada Enjoy
ing this superiority, the Canadian
Pacific has caused to be put into the
Canadian tariff a discriminating duty
of 10 per cent on all coffee and tea i'm
ported into Canada from the United
States. From all countries except the
United States coffee and tea can come
into Canada free. The effect of this
has been to divert this traffic from
American ports.
1t is pointed out that as the traffic
has become so great that it is impossi-
bic for United States consuls to per-
sonally perform the duties required
of them, due regard for the
revenue would warrant the suspen-
sion of the section until such time
as congress makes provision for it's
perfect enforcement. Should this be
done it would in the opinion of treas
ury department officials put a stop to
discrimination against American rail-
roads and be retaliatory measure
agai nst Canada for her unfriendliness.

4 Wonder. Worker.

A remarkable man, know as Father
Mollinger, died In Pittsburg recently. A
Belgian by birth, and of noble ancestry,
he first studied to be a physician and
then came to America as a missionary.
Since 1865 he has been in or near Pitts
burg, in charge of q parish, but working
endless and wonderful cures, largely
through the agency Of faith, but also en-
ploying medicines. In the number and
character of the ailments he successfully
treated, notably PHYSICAL deformities, the
man seemed endowed with miraculous
power. Thousands of people made pill
grimages to his church on st. Anthony's
Day to be cured. He charged nothing
for his services, but patients were at lib
erty to contribute to the poor-box of his
church. Personally he had no need Of
money. Besides large income from es-
tates in Germany, he had several hundred
thousand dollars worth of property in
this country, acquired by the investment
Of his German income.-N. Y. Tribune

General Snowden is fully impressed
with the solemnity of the business with
which he is charged. He takes no
stock in the fraternizing schemes of
the strikers. and very properly declines
the brass-band reception designed for
the military. He is willing to deal
with strikers as citizens of Allegheny
Country for the purpose of reminding
,them of their duty, but will not recog-
nize any organization, unknown to the
law, though claiming to represent the
disaffected workmen. As the troops
ARE sent to Homestead for solemn and
possibly harsh duty, no good can re-
suit from attempts to jolly the matter
away. The issues are very simple.
The strikers have only to obey the law
and the troops have nothing to do ex-
cept to assist the sheriffin maintaining
order and enforcing the law. The best
course is for each to do their duty, and
postpone reception and joiifeation un
til the business in hand has been duly
performed.

SYMPATHY strikes have always fail
ed in this country to accomplish any
thing except bring distress and loss up
on those who undertake them. The
threatened sympathy strikes in the
mills under the same ownership as
those at Homestead will be a most
lamentable affair if carried out, will
complicate the situation and increase
many fold the number of men without
employment, and OF families without
their usual means of subsistence. It
is to be hoped that the better and cool
er judgment which has been shown
from time to time by those connected
with this strike will assert itself with
sufficient force to prevent the mon
stroas folly Of huge sympathy strike
because of the Homestead difficulty.

The details of the coalition are as
follows: The Democrats are to be
given the candidates for chief justice
of the supreme court and congress
man at large. The rest of the state
ticket is to be given to the Peoples
party The candidates of the two
parties will be nominated at separate
conventions, the Democrats on a
Democratic platform and the Peo-
ple's party on a reform platform, the
object being to avoid endorsement
by either party of the others princi-
pies.
The matter of presidential electors
was discussed thoroughly, and it was
decided that a coalition should be
formed in that direction; the details
of the fusion in that quarter, how
ever, were not definitely decided
upon, that matter being left to a
to be held later

Friday Green will come to the city
from Peoria and submit to arrest on
a warrant from Boston, because of
his failure to give bond to answer a
new indictment. He will be taken
before United States Commissioner
Bruce and committed to jail, and Dis
trict Attorney Heron will ask the
court for an order for his
removal to Boston. This will be re-
sisted by Green's counsel, and a writ
of habeas corpus will be asked for
the purpose of having him discharged
by the court. The whisky trust peo-
pie claim their business is not sub
ject to congressional regulations.

ANOTHER MURDER AT SANTA TE.

At Santa Fe, about 10 o'clock last
night, while Pablo Dominguez, an
intimate acquaintance of the late
Francisco Chavez, was going home
from the plaza toward the cathedral,
he was shot and killed by an un-
known party who stood about so
feet away from him. 1t appears that
Dominguez had been actively en-
gagged in trying to discover the MUIR
derer of his friend Don Francisco,
and had thus made himself obnoxious
to the murderous element of Santa
Fe. Some very startling discoveries
had been made and very incriminat-
ing evidence accumulated by him,
and of course he had to be removed
also. The murdered man was shot
through the side, and there is no clue,
up to the present, to the murderer.
1t is also reported that another
murder was committed at Santa Fe
this morning, the victim being
stabbed; but we can not vouch for
the truth of the report.

THE SHORT LINE 0. K.
jefferson Reynolds Says the Money
is In Sight.

The Denver News of the lst has
the following good news that will
make every one in the city feel ju
bilant:
"Private advices from Jefferson
Reynolds states that he has found
among Eastern capitalists a most
gratifying degree of interest in the
El Paso short line, and that by the
time arrangements are completed at
this end the bonds will be placed
without difficulty. Mr.. Reynolds
Will likely come to Denver in a short
time and the first step in the building
of the road will have been COM
pleted.
"There is considerable to be done
here yet. A definite traffic agree
ment with the Union Pacific or Rio
Grande between Denver and Trini-
dad must be signed, rights of way
are to be secured and valuable coal
lands will have to be looked after.
These things could not be finally
settled until the Eastern market had
been felt.
"The local men are satisfied that
Jay Gould does not propose to build
from El Paso to White Oaks, and the
short line will therefore extend from
Trinidad to Ell Paso. The promoters
are well satisfied with the progress
thus far made"
Many persons here have complain
ed this spring about the slow way
the short line was coming on, but
when several million dollars are to
be expended it takes time to arrange
for the money. But the above shows
that the company has not been idle,
but attending to the necessary pre-.
liminaries. Now that everything is
arranged, we can look for growth
that will surprise the Oldest resi-
dents. The future of Las Vegas is
assured, and it will start to growing
at once. There have been many
contemplated improvements waiting
on the news that was received last
night, that will go on at once, and
many more start.
