STRIKERS ON TRIAL.
THE ACCUSED HOMESTEAD POISON
ERS HELD IN COURT TO-DAY.

Carnegie's Ex-workmen Before the Court
in Pittsburg to Answer the Company's
Grave Accusations-Crow Listen to
Explanations of the sickness at the
Mills.
PIrTsBURG, Jan. 10 The trial Of
Hugh Dempsey, district master workman
of the Knights of Labor; j. M. Davidson
and Robert Beatty, charged with poison
ing non-union workmen In the Home
stead steel mill during last August,
began here to-day in crowded court
room. Beatty is accnsed af having
arranged with Davidson and other crooks
at the mill to administer the poison,
which it is alleged, Dempsey furnished
The serious charge of having procured
and disbursed the money used in the fur
therance of the scheme is also put upon
Dempsey.
The cases grew out of the numerous
and suspicious cases Of illness among the
workmen in the Homestead mill At
first those stricken with the sickness
showed all the symptoms of typhoid
fever and were treated by the physicians
for that disease But after the FIRST few
days the typhoid characteristics disap
peared and the doctors were unable to
diagnose the cases other than poisoning
from impure drinking water.
The Carnegie Steel company was not
satisfied with the explanation that the
epidemic among the workmen was caused
by impure water and suspected some
thing wrong somewhere They put their
detectives at work to sift the matter to
the bottom.
The result Of the detectives work was
the arrest of Robert J. Beatty at Louis
Vile on December loon warrant charg
him with completely in the poison
ing of men in Homestead mill
He was brought back to Pittsburg and
given hearing, at which T. NJ David
son, one of the former cooks in the mill,
testified, confessing his own connection
with th- alleged conspiracy aud impl
eating Beatty and Dempsey. The arrest
of Davidson and Dempsey quickly fol-
lowed and to.day's trial is the result.

STILL IN A TANGLE.

The Deadlock in the Lower Branch of the
Kansas Legislature stin Unbroken-No
Agreement Probable.
TOPEKA. Kan, Jan. 12-The joint
conference commission appointed for the
purpose of uuravelling the tangle in the
house adjourned at midnight without
having formulated any plan to present
to the two houses this morning. The
Populists demanded that the three Re
publican members who were postmasters
at the time of their election TO the
legislature should be unseated and the
Populists be given their seats This
would, of course, place the Populists in
control of the House The Republicans
refused to consent to this scheme, ar
guing that the postmasters could serve
legally as members of the lower House,
they having resigned their positions as
postmasters since their elec tion to that
body.
This completed the deliberations Of
the conference. 1t is probable that the
conference will meet before the House
convenes, but it is unlikely that any
agreement in the matter will be reached.

TROUBLE OVER A CHARTER,
Maryland United workmen DO Not Want
Delaware TO Have Grand Lodge.

Maryland United WOrkmen DO Not Want
Delaware 20 Have Grand Lodge.
The Delaware United Workmen will
have a fight to get their charter for a
Grand Lodge. It is bound TO come but the
Grand Maryland Lodge officers are trying
TO prevent IL.
Formal application to be set aside was
made last week to the Grand master
workman Of the jurisdiction of which
Delaware forms part. His name is
Lingeufelder and he halls from Balti-
more He has practically refused to take
action in the matter as Maryland does
nos want Delaware TO have a grand
lodge Of its own because it will make
the assessments ON the Maryland mem
bers heavier.
Last month there were FIVE deaths in
Maryland and only one in Del
aware and this month there were
four in Maryland and one in Del
aware. The Della wareans have to pay
on all these deaths.
This months assessments will be paid
under protest and that will throw it into
the Supreme Lodge.
There are 2, 100 members in Delaware.
Only 1000 are required for a grand
lodge charter. Wilmington Lodge No.
1, which is the largest in the jurisdic-
tion, will initiate thirty-6ve members
tonight.

CAPRIVI ON THE ARMY BILL


Germany's Chancellor Makes an Earnest
Effort to Secure Increased Military
Protection-Heavy Expenditures Neces-
sary.
BERLIN, Jan. 10 - Chancellor Won
Caprivi last night attended meeting of
the Reichstag committee of twenty
eight, appointed to consider the army
bill, and made an important speech set
ting forth the necessity for the adoption
of the bill without change or modifca-
tion.
Referring to the relations existing be-
tween Germany and Russia, the chancel
lor declared that there was no enmity be-
tween Emperar William and the car,
ann neither was there any enmity be-
tween the two governments With re-
gard to the relations between France
and Russir, Chancellor Won Caprivi said
that probably an entente in regard to the
military arrangements existed with those
two countries.
He then referred to the possibility of
an attack being made upon the nations
composing the Triple Alliance-Germany,
Austria and Italy-and said that If such
an attack we're made the chief onslaught
of the attacking forces would doubtless
be directed against Germany as
the strongest member. Expert
ence had shown that when
war threatened it was best for Germany
to take the offensive. To do that would
require hat the armies of the Triple Al
lance have a considerable numerical
superiority. AS a matter of fact the
Triple Alliance was in the minority in
point of numbers. Germanys long east.
ern frontier especially could only be
protected by employing offensive tao
tics. An offensive policy was a good
policy 1t meant short wars with
quick victories and lasting results.
All this could be obtained only by as
suming the offensive. Germany's pre-
sent forces would no longer suffice
against the increased strength of their
might be opponents. The government.
therefore. would not be able to take the
responsibility of the future defence of
the country until the ornaments were
increased.
Heavy Expenditures Necessary.
As has before been stated the opposi
tion to the army bill is in a great meas.
ure based upon the increased taxation
that will be entailed The share to be
borne by Prussia of the current extra
expenditure involved by the bill amounts
to 40, 524, 517 marks, of which only 43,
5lS, S03 marks will be demanded as a first
instalment. The rest will be used in the
future for the enlargement Of the schools
for cadets and non-commissioned
officers and other objects. OF the
extraordinary expenditure, which
amounts to 67,S00, 900 marlrs, G, 500, O0O
are to be contributed by Bavaria and the
remaining 6l,0U0,u00 divided between
Prussia, Saxony and Wurtemberg. Six
teen "a half million marks will b,
expended on barracks for the troops anC
stabling for horses. For the clothing
and equipment of new troops 1888, 00t
marke are demanded, for the first stocl
of horses, 8, 604 900 marks and for trav
cling expenses ETC., 2, $3.50, 600 marks.
The military railway will be extended
as far as JuterbOgk, at cost of 4, ,437,
GOO marks. and school for cadets is tS

From the Old World.
DE FRBYCINET MUCH TALKED OF.

The French Authorities VIII Next Con-
slider the Case Of the Ex-NIinister OF
War, Whose Intimacy with Cornelius
Herr is Much Discussed Germany and
the Army Bill.
PARIS. Jan. 12.-The Panama devel-
opments form almost the sole topic of
discussion everywhere and the next move
looked for on the part of the authorities
is said to concern NJ. de Freycinet. It is
recalled that the ex-minister of war was
an intimate friend Of Cornelius Herr and
frequently drove to his house to enjoy
the hospitality of Dr. and Mrs. Herr.
How far this close personal intimacy
may have gone is, so far as the public
know, a matter of conjecture, but the
friendship of NJ de Freycinet is believed
to have been put to industrious use by
Herr in his peculiar operations. 1t is
stated that there is no evidence of actual
corruption on the part of de Freycinet
and that nothing more can be shown
against him than compliance towards
others who were corrupt.
De Freycipet is reported to have been
terribly shocked by the statements from
America regarding the antecedents of
Herr, whom he professed to consider a
person of high probity and excellent
character. De Freycinet's friends cite
on this subject the fact that previous to
the recent exposure the dossier, or record
of Herr at the chancellerie of the legion
of honor, was not only creditable, but
brilliant, and that de Freycinet had no
better opportunities than the chancellerie
for knowing the real history of the ad-
venturer.
NJ. Monchicourt, the liquidat0r of the
Panama company, deposed before the
Panama committee thai in 1888 when the
lottery bill was coming on, Baron Rein
ach required sum of 1900, 900 francs
for what he spoke of as press expenses
There were no accounts furnished by the
baron. NJ Monchicourt expressing as
tonishment at such a sum being in
tended for the papers. NJ. Reinach said to
him: 'What simple person you must
be to fancy it is going to be spent on
them.
NJ Monchicourt was then connected
with Panama affairs. On speaking OF
the money that Baron Reinach was sWal
lowing up, to one of the directors, the
latter told him that it was payment foi
secret services he had undertaken for tn,
purpose of getting the lottery loar
carried. Baron Reinach was paid in casl
down. It took the form of checks on tn,
Bank of France. For the bonds {,
which he subscribed he only paid TIVE
francs, fifty centimes apiece, and h
cleared FIVE francs or 50. He only riskeS
the former sum, or not even that, ther'
being special stipulations. The sums paiC
him in money came to l0,00O, 900 francs.

STATEHOOD AND SILVER.
Che Territories Must BE Kept Out.
Because Wall street Says so.

Several territories are knocking at the
door of the Union asking to be admitted as
full states. Oklahoma and Indian ter
ritory are among these, but it may well
be doubted if either is worthy to be en-
dowed with the power and dignity of a
state. The former is as yet mere set
Element, with a shifting population and
very nebulous state of civilization. In
dian territory contains large numbers of
well-educated and wealthy Indians, but it
is question how many of these wish
their territory to become a state.
With Utah, New Mexico and Arizona it
is different. Their knuckles have become
tender from knocking at Columbias door
so long. They are wellsettled,
prosperous communities, amply deserv-
ing of self-government New Mexico and
Arizona have both been claimed as Demo-
cratic property up to last fall, and it was
fully expected by many that they would
be admitted into the Union as soon as the
new administration got really settled in
power. But the silver issue came up in
the meanwhile and the party managers
found it expedient to check the Statehood
ambitiors of three territories, which

The statistical report of tho interstate
commerce commission, of which an alb
stract was published in yesterdays Post,
is valuable and instructive compilation
of railway data for the year ending June
30, 1892. 1t shows the total railway
mileage of the country to have been up
to that time between $4,000 and $4,000
miles.
A more recent estimate, including the
following six months, as made by Poor's
Manual, makes the total length of track
laid to December 81, 1892, 1923 miles,
over 5000 miles having been completed
since the close of that fiscal year, and the
net increase of mileage during the year
being nearly 1000 miles.
The vastness of this system is moro
impressively realized when We take into
consideration that the total number Of
passengers carried by the railways for
the year named was 56O,95S,211, or near
ly nine times the total population of
the United States.--Washington Post.
