Con.ress in Chicago.

CHICAGo.-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 lupch-
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 visj-
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
that they wanted to see they were driven over
to the Washington Park club, where moro
refreshments were served.
Then the train arrived in time for the exer-
cises of the Union League club at the ApditO-
rum, the principal feature of which was an
Grafton by General Stewart Woodford.
Tonight they will be guests at one of the
finest bmquets ever given in the city. The
commercial club will be the host, and the
Grand Pacific the scene. The tables will be
laid in the main banquet room, which will be
decorated with palms and plants of all de-
scriptions to represent a dollhouse. At the
conclusion of the banquet, or sometime along
after midnight, the visitors will get aboard a
special train for New York.

BalfOur'S New Bill.

LONDON, February 20.-The announcement
that Mr.. Balfour would, on behalf of the
government, introduce the new Irish local
government bill had the effect of drawing an
unusually large crowd in the house of COM
mons.
Very few of the members were absent from
their seats, while the galleries reserved for
members of the house of lords, the diplomatic
corps and distinguished strangers, were
packed to their full capacity.
A large crowd, about equally divided be-
tween liberals conservatives and Irish ma
tionalists, also gathered within the yard of
the house for the purpose of obtaining the
earliest information regarding the character
of the measure.
Balfours speech occupied over three hours,
and disclosed the fact that the uew measure
is built very closely on the lines of the local
government which now applies to England.
1t creates new electoral boundaries, gives the
town councils control of the local police, the
appointment of chief constables, as well as
the administration of the poor law, asylums,
industrial schools and local prisons.
The imperial police is reduced nearly two
thirds. Three-fourths of the members of
each council are to be elected by the rate
payers, and the appointment of the other
fourth is divided between the lord lieutenant
and the council itself when organized. 1t is
a lengthy and complex measure and on the
whole shows little that is either sought or de-
manded by the Irish nationalist party.
the second reading of the bill is set for
Monday next, when Mr.. Gladstone will ap-
pear in his place and lead the attack.

Third PARTY Supporters.


WASHINGTON, D. c., February 22.-Repre.
sentative Watson, of Georgia, the generally
recognized leader of his party in congress,
said: Il do not go to st. Louis myself. 1
am, however, heartily in favor of independ-
ent political action in support of the Ocala
demands. l believe that is the only way to
get them enacted into law. To have any
success, we must get the southern refOrmers,
who are democrats, to join in action with the
western and northwestern reformerS, who
are republicans. We cannot 60 to their par
ty, they cannot come to ours. The only polit-
ical scheme to unite them is to 60 into new
organization, the basis of which shall be the
unity of our demands. l have no doub: the
independent political action in support of
the platform which they will agree upon"
Mr.. Simpson, of Kansas, said, just before
leaving for st. Louis:
81 am going to st. Louis because am del
egated by the Kansas pepole in my district.
/ am not going for the purpose of forcing my
ideas and views on any one. am satisfied
the only course 10 pursue that will bring sue
cess is in the organization of new party, and
if the convention decides to call convention
for the purpose of organizing new party,
will be glad of it, though shall not insist
upon this in the convention. l am satisfied
the organization of a new party in America
is necessary, in order that the demands of
the the people may be crystaliZed into life.
Neither one of the great parties has shown
any disposition to right the great wrongs
from which the people are suffering. At st.
Louis the people of my state will be unani-
nous for the organization of a national party.
l would not call it third party, but the first
party, because l believe it to represent the
interests of the great mass of the common
people, who are and ought to be in reality
the government"

Tohee Buried.

PARIS, Tex, February 24.-Tohee, the
blind chief of the Iowas and q descendant of
the famous Blackhawk, who died at his home
on the Iowa reservation, was buried with the
honors of his tribe and with much ceremony.
Upon hill within sight OF the Iowa village a
grave was dug. The chief was placed IN a
wagon, sitting up, dressed in his best buck
skin and wrapped in his handsomest blanket,
as one about to take journey.
The grave was about four feet deep and q
place was fixed for the blind chief to sit
upon, his feet stretching out before him As
though taking a rest. Near his right side
was placed FOOD and at his left, brewed coffee,
TO be within easy reach should he need re-
freshments on his long journey to the happy
hunting grounds. On the topmost bough Of
a venerable oak dog was hung, together
with the chefs cast-of habilinents. pony
each was given to the two pall-bearers, a
young brave and a weeping maiden, the dog
on the tree howled, the braves chanted and
the sQuaws wept to appease the Greas Spirit
and win clemency for the dead. Tho friendly
paleface neighboring farmers looked on the
solemn scene with curiosity Is each brave
spoke his elcomirm as a tribute to the viz
tues of the departed. kirwin Murray, the
interpreter, reported the same TO the whites

Another of Chief Justice Fuller's
Daughters.

Odu&ntSTSs
WASHINGTON, d. c.. February 22.-The
Post publishes this card:
When Mrs. Fuller was summoned to Berlin
in the latter part of November by the illness
of our daughter, Mary, she was accompanied
by Collin c. Manning, of South Carolina,
between whom and our elder child an attach
ment has long subsisted with our approba-
ton. For some weeks the result of the at
tack was doubtful. and at last a fatal termi-
nation seemed SO imminent that we thought
it best for the marriage to take place at o1ce
and it was accordingly celebrated on January
at San Reno. But in order to avert every
agitation and excitement from our daughter
in her extremely low state, We refrained from
giving publicity to the fact, reserving the
announcement until, if spared, she had
somewhat recovered her strength.
As soon as the mother had ground to be-
lieve that immediate danger was passed she
left Mary to the tenderness and care of her
husband, in whom We have every confidence.
and fastened back to her duties here, arriv-
ing Monday evening. A cable assures us
that there is a marked change for the better,
and the sole reason for our reticence has
happily ceased to exist.

Hill on Silver,

ALBANY, N. Y, February Ex-senator Hill
was called before the state convention and in
his speech said:
The Sherman silver law has now trans.
formed the federal coinage power of silver
and gold into an instrument for the gradual
expulsion of our gold. for the establishment
of an exclusive basis and for the permanent
reduction of every American dollar by 20 per
cent. or more below the level of its tue value,
during the whole period of our bi-niitelic
coinage. Shall such Law stand? There has
been no such legislation for free men since
Cromwell called the law of England ''tor-
tuous and ungodly tumble" The demand
sor the repeal of these edlcts of the billion
congress has extorted from the republican
leaders their published purpose to refuss re-
peal. Repeal is not a proposal to stop at the
tariff of 1893

the flight of the robber on the engine of an
other train. from which he drives the crew at
the point of revolver, p running fight from
the engine for miles, followed by another en-
CINE filled with railway men and the final
capture of the desperate by sheriff's posse

Making a President.

81. LOUIS, February 2S.-Secretary of Agri-
culture Jerry Rusk has good many friends
at the conference of labor organizations, and
SO has Leland Stanford, of California.
Many of the granger delegates came to st.
Louis determined to boom the Wisconsin
agriculturist, on the ground that he has put
the department of agriculture to practical
Use for the first time in its history, and made
it of benefit and usefulness to the agricul-
tural community. These developments, how.
ever, are not fayorably regarded by the secre-
tary himself, who says he is loyal to the cause
of President Harrison, and proposes to re-
main so.
The delegates from the Pacific coast came
in favor of the convention placing third
ticket in the field without waiting to consult
with the leaders of the old parties, or await
ing the republican or democratic nomina-
tons. This move is in Stanford's interest.

wrought havoc in the socrAd edtRce itself, but
they attacked the parsonage and wrecked it.
Everything in the residence of the ministers
was destroyed.
The British Foreign Bible society, of which
the chef minister in an agent, intends to
claim compensation for the outrage from the
Greek government. Many of the rioters were
masked, but no attention was paid to this, as
it was day of carnival. After the congrega-
ton and the ministers were driven from the
church everything portable was removed
from the building, the benches, chairs, stools,
cushions and everything else that could be
carried were taken to the square in front of
the church, saturated with petroleum and
then set on fire.
Several members of the congregation fled
in fear of their lives and took refuge in the
British consulate. They were pursued to the
very doors by fanatics, who, when they saw
their intended prey had escaped their clutches,
vainly demanded that MIR. Dupuis, the Brit
ish consul, surrender them. But the mob
hung around until dark in the expectation
that some of the Protestants would leave the
consulate and attempt to make their way to
their homes.
There is scarcely a doubt that had they
fallen into the hands of the mob they would
have been killed, for a more bloodthirsty
crowd of religious fanatics is not believed to
have been gathered in Greece for many years.

RATHER BLUE.
Lower Cotton Blights Hope for
Better Southern Trade.
Speculation Has Lifted Wheat Above
Export Rates; a Bad Thing-Iron
Trade Cloomy-Exports. However.
Continue to Increase.

NEW YORK, February 22.-R. G. Dun& Co. q
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The business situation is not so satisfactory
or encouraging as it has been. While a
gradual increase in the distribution OF many
lines of merchandise continues, there Il q
shrinking in demand and much depression
in iron. A further decline in cotton bliGhts
the hope of a revival in southern trade.
The speculative market is manipulated by
cheap money and by the great success OF the
coal deal. Speculation now extends to wheat
and threatens to restrict exports. Notwith-
standing that the exports of wheat have been
diminishing, speculation at Chicago has lifted
the price 615 cents during the week, and sales
have been 57,OOOO 900 bushels. An advance
from any cause, which cuts of the exports of
breadstuffs at time when Europe has a
heavy demand for stocks, would not be whole
some Corn has declined 11zc, with large
exports, but very large receipts. Fork pro
ducts, oats and coffee are substantially un-
changed. and oil is only 116c higher on small
transactions. Cotton is a shade lower, re-
ceipts being "A per cent. better for the week
than last year, but exports are 81 per cent.
greater.
The week has been gloomy in the iron trade
from the pressure to realize on qualities OF
iron not we'll known or produced in excess OF
requirements. More inquiry appears for
structural iron. Since the large sales at 1917
cents the copper market has been steadier,
and tin and lead strong.
The coal market is very dull, awaiting the
results of the combination.
The boot and shoe trade is steadily grow
ing, though the shipments are still below
those of last year.
The trade in dress goods is also improving.
Cotton goods are more active than in any
previous week this year.
The value of all exports from New York for
the two weeks of February have been Il per
cent. larger than for the same weeks last year.
The business failures throughout the coun-
try during this week number 299, compared
with 276 the last week, and go for the CORES
ponding week last year.

Secretary Fosters Response.
WASHINGTON, D. c., February 2O.-The sec.
rotary of the treasury has written letter to
the speaker of the house in response to a
resolution calling on him for information
whether at any time since the AZ per cent.
bonds became due there had been sufficient
funds in the treasury to pay the same, and if
so, by what authority he assumed to continue
any such bonds at . per cent. interest, and
bonds were due.
The secretary says the as are redemable
at the pleasure of the United States or at a
months notice by the holders. He shows
that there were sufficient funds in the treas
ury to pay the outstanding bonds, but says it
was deemed prudent for the government to
continue portion of them, and the authority
under which the bonds were permitted to
continue is contained In the act which au-
thorizes their issue.

A Lies Secret.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, February 22.-Henry
Armstrong, aged GO, an old settler of Junto.
who died a few days ago, proved to be a
woman.
According to an old diary found among
her possessions, her name was Myra Law
renee. Just before the war she was deserted
by her lover, who afterwards entered the Con-
federate army. Then she donned male attire
and enlisted in the same regiment to be near
him. He finally died in her arms from a
bullet wound.
Retaining her masculine attire, Myra Law
renee then began a new life as man and
kept her secret until the end.

ERIE, Pa, February 23.-The heavy fog
was disastrous to railroad men here. The
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, had two
rear end collisions. Much property was de-
strOyed, but no lives lost.

get his flag back to the proper distance, and
one freight ran into another. Engineer
Schaeffer and Brakeman Dell, were badly
hurt, and Fireman Fuller was caught in the
wreck and killed. The engine and twenty

American Tin.

New YORK, February 2O.-Pheips, Dodge
& Co., of No. II Cliff street, received car
load of roof tin from the Apollo Iron and
Steel company of Pittsburg, Pa. 1t is high
class tin, better, Mr.. McLane, of Phelps,
Dodge Co, says, than any now imported.
''As yet," said Mr.. McLane, ''little of the
American article is received here in New
York, but l understand three or four Pitts
burg firms are making it. There is no trouble
dispOsing of tin, even at a price above that
of the foreign article. 1t is OF better class. I"

this about the outlook for the industry:

try. 1t Is now becoming great industry.

about twenty men have signified their inten-
ton to start tin factories, and altogether the
prospect is rosy. The raw material costs US
almost nothing, and in that respect Wales
cam OF compete with US. We have made
great success of tin"
''What about reciprocity"
81 believe in it, especially with the South
American countries. But we must be care
full not to exchange free of duty manufac-
tured goods with England or any other coun-
try that pays labor One-third less than we do.
That would mean ruination to the manufac-
turing industries here. A workmen here re-
ceives about three times the pay as in Eng
land or any part of Europe, and he can buy
nearly three times as much as the foreigner.
1t is wise to have reciprocal relations with
South American countries, because they don't
manufacture to any extent, and We can find
market there in exchange for their coffee
and general products"

Watching the Sun.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 2O.-Observa-
tons made at the national observatory by
Professor Edgar Frisby showed that the large
spot hitherto observed on the snn, covering a
space equal to one-sixteenth of the suns sur
face, or an area of 10000 miles long and
1000, 900 wide, has by some gaeat cataclysmic
operation been broken into about twenty
smaller spots.
In addition to this other spots have ap-
peared, which are situated vast distance
from the original spot and are evidently to-
tally independent from it. This new devel.
opment in the suns surface has attracted the
attention of the astronomers of the observa-
tory and will be closely observed by them.
