INSOL VENT RAIL WAYS
Twenty-Eight Lines Sold Un-
der Foreclosure of Mort
gage in 1892.
No Very Great or Important
Road in This Years Nor
tally Table.
Thipty-Six Companies Have
Gone Into the Hands Of
Receivers.
Flour Rates From Minneapo-
lis to the East to Be Adj
vanced Jan. 18.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-While 1892 was q
period of comparatively small railway
construction, it was not marked by a
corresponding decrease in the number
of insolvent railways. The Railway
Age III its issue tomorrow will say:
1--WE find that during 1892 there were
sold under foreclosure tWenty-eight
railways, having an aggregate mileage
of 1922 miles and an apparent capitali-
Zation of sos. 1893, 900. While the num-
Der of roads is larger than in the pre-
vi0ns year, it is some encouragement to
find that the mileage and capitalization
show large decrease compared with
the three preceding years. OF the
twenty-eight roads sold during the
year four belong to Texas, three to
Oregon, three to New York, and two
each to New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee and
Georgia. while Rhode Island, Maryland,
West Virginia, Illinois, Iowa and
Washington each have one. No very
great and important line is in this years
mortality table, the largest III point of
mileage being the Florida Southern,
with 3U7 miles, and a capitalization of
about S5,500,000, while the largest in
respect to liabilities is the uncompleted
Oregon Pacific, whose 166 miles rep
resents securities aggregating nearly
S20,000,000. The narrow gauge roads
continue to swell the number of fail
ures, there being five of that class i'll
this years sales"
The article sets forth that in the last
twelve months thirty-siX companies,
having 10,50S miles of road, and rep
resenting capitalization of nearly $685.
C00,000, have defauted and been placed
in the hands of receivers.

ROASTS GLADSTONE.
Gail Hamilton Dips Her Pen in
Gall and Writes the Grand
Old Man.
She Arraigns Him in the Name OF
God for the Murder OF Mrs.
Maybrick.

Boston, Jan. Sin the name Of
God arraign you. the head of the Brit
ish government, for the murder of Flor
ence Elizabeth Maybrick, now dying in
the convict prison at Working, England"
So writes Miss Abigail Dodge, the
authOress. known to the literary world
as Gail Hamilton, to the Rt. Hon. Will
lam E. Gladstone, prime minister of
Great Britain, known the world over as
the "Grand Old Man." on account of
his philanthropic ideas and actions. By
way of beginning, she apologies for
contributing to the harmony of his
birthday congratulations note of dis
cord But" she says, humanity is a
more sacred thing than harmony"
After arraigning the prime minister,
Miss Dodge says:
1.-THE home secretary of the late gov
eminent, who began the torture, the
late prime minister who sustained him
in it, the present home secretary who
continues it-these are all as guilty as
you; but do not know whether they
believe in God. You believe in God.
1t is therefore because you believe in
mighty God, while | charge you with
is pershing In Working prison. We
have been asking Justice in the name
of Mercy. / ask it no more. ask for
Justice, and for Justice only, and | ask
1t in her own stern and sacred name"
Following this, Miss Dodge declares
that there is no evidence of the lmpris-
oned Woman'S guilt, and shames the
great government for binding the feeble
hands Of woman in living tomb and
demanding more evidence of her limo
cence. The writer then continues:
1.-The British government not only
murders her but ISLANDERS her. The
late prime minister and late home sec
rotary joined hand in hand to brand her
before America as an adUltereSS. She
was never convicted for adultery,
tried for adultery, charged with
adultery. But she is an enslaved
woman, and the great power of
England seals her to eternal silence be-
fore it ISLANDERS her. The home office of
your own government seems TO be fol-
lowing in the same ignoble track, more
meanly because more indirectly. Ru-
her trial, but retained in the home office
against her. This is infamy. 1t is
violation of Magma Charta, Of common
law, that one should be deprived Of life
and liberty without the opportunity to
hear accusations, to confront accusers,
to answer evidence in open court"
After reproaching the British govern
ment, and the home office in particular,
for their bar barous action, Miss Dodge
declares they are guilty Of deliberate
muader. "Go on your cruel way because
you cam" concludes the writer. ''She
is alone, and poor and weak, and for
eigner. She can lose you no votes in
England. for she has no friends, 10
family. Make the sacrifice complete.
But if there be God who marks and
notes the ways of this world, who hears
the voice of innocent blood crying unto
him from the ground, it is better to be
the young wife and mother perishing in
Working prison, than the prime minister
of the government which works her tor
ture and her slaughter"

SPECIAL ORDERS ASKED.
Speaker Crisp Has His Hands Full
COMPROMISING the Claims.

speaker CriSp Has 1IS HanUS Fuii
Compromising the Claims.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Speaker Crisp
has his hands full compromising the
claims of committeeman anxious to Sc
cure favors from the rules committee in
behalf of measures in which they are
interested. There are at present dozen
measures In behalf of which special
order is being asked to set apart day
next week for consideration. Chairman
Stump, of the immigration committee, has
seen the speaker, who assured him that
the committee would be given day
for its immigration restriction bill. Mr..
Stump asked for Tuesday, but no
special day was decided on by MIR.
Crisp. The Torrey bankruptcy bill is
being pressed for a special order. The
bill, however, is not expected to become
a law at this congress. Mr.. Brickner
and other members from the great lake
regions ale after another opportunity to
pass the omnibus lighthouse bill, which
secured special order Just before the
holidays, but received scant cOnsidera-
ton, owing to the slim attendance in
the house. The commerce committee,
which reported the bill, also want a day
for the revenue cutter bill ana bills
making important amendments in the
interstate commerce law to meet recent
decisions by the courts.
Special orders have been asked and
promised for the investigating report
and the bill for the election of the presi-
dent and vice president and of senators
by direct vote of tine people. The judi
ciary committee wants day for the
miscellaneous business. as do several
other committees. Mr.. Bland has not
yet preferred IA request, but it is his in
tention to see the speaker and ask an
other opportunity to pass bill provid-
ing for the free coinage OF silver Mr..
Harter and other uncompromising anti
silver men say that they are anxious for
the trial at repeal of the present Sher-
man silver bullion purchase law. and as
a renewal OF the silver fight is about the
thing III which the radicals on either
side of the currency question seem
agreed, it looks as if there would be an
other bout in this congress over silver
legislation.

PENSION DEBATE.
Messrs. Bland and Picker Lock
Horns in the House.


Horns in the House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-In speaking of
one of the pension bills where the pen
sion bureau had denied the pension
asked for, Mr.. Bland (Dem.) Missouri,
said that the house should encourage
every depaitmen in acting in strict
compliance with the spirit and letter of
the law. 1t was the habit Of members
to tax the departments with extreme
liberality. Were they now going to
override department which was carry
ing out the law? If this were so, there
was no honesty in their criticisms.
Mr.. Picker (Rep.), South Dakota, ia
vored the bill. The gentleman from
Missouri (Mr. BIandD, he said. had adj
vanced the proposition that economy
The gentleman had almost wept tears
that the country could not have the
money that was granted in pensions for
the improvement of rivers and harbors.
The time had not yet come when the
nation would say that the men who had
saved the country would not be pen
stoned unless they were subjects Of the
poor house. That they should be en-
tirely destitute before they could
receive pension was the bur-
den of remarks of the gen.
tleman from Missouri yesterday.
While he was not III favor OF eXtraya-
CANT appropriations. he was confident it
was not the sense of The people that the
old soldiers should go TO the pOorhouse
before they could receive a pension. A
nation did not deserve to exist that did
not care for its defenders in their old
age.
Mr.. Bland denied that he was opposed
to the granting of pensions that were
deserved, and expressed his disposition
to deal literally with every man who
had been disabled by wounds or dis
ease in the service. The bill was finally
defeated, after quarters of an
hour had been consumed in an effort to
secure quorum.
When the quarantine against the
White house has been removed, it is
probable that President Harrison will
take few days recreation in duck
shooting, according to his plan for
Christmas week. which was abandoned
on account Of the illness of his little
grandchlld.

Are BuZZing in the Hats OF Many
wyoming Democrats.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 5.-The sena-
torial fight in this state wakes warmer
as the converting OF the legislature
draws nearer. Nearly every Democratic
politician in the state has a senatorial
bee in his hat. Ex-Gov. Baxter is
plainly in the lead, and sporting men
are betting to l OH him, with very few
takers. Mr.. Baxter is young, wealthy
and popular, aud has many warm per-
sonal friends, as well as those of polit-
ical character, among prominent Dem
ocrats all over the country. Notwith-
standing Mr.. Bakers popularity and
strength in the senatorial fight, his op-
ponents are relentlessly Warming up,
and in all possibility the first ballot of
the legislature will result In deadlock.
The Popuists claim they will give Mrs.
Mary E. Bartietta complimentary vote.
This will take five votes from some one,
and when they do come back to the
leading candidate, as they will do, they
will Undoubtedly elect him. Gov. Os-
borne is working diligently upon his
message and will have it ready for the
legislature as soon as 1t c0nveneS,

GOOD ADVICE Given to tho New
Hampshire Lawmakers.
CONCORD, N. H., Jan. 5.-Both
branches of the legislature met at II
O'Clock this forenoon. The joint con-
venton met at 11:3o. Gov.-elect Smith,
accompanied by the Amoskaeg vet
Grams and invited guests, arrived from
Manchester at II o'clock. AT noon Gov.
futile, his council and staff, escorted the
governOr-elect to representatives hall.
The gallery and corridors were crowded
with spectators. President McLane, of
the senate, administered the oath of
office to G0v.-elect Smith, who delivered
his inaugural address. He commended
the Granger organizations and believes
they elevate the dignity OF the farmers
calling, and prevent the exodus of the
rising generations from the farms of the
state. He believes prohibition to be the
best policy for New Hampshire, and any
legislation legally changing this policy
or tending to weaken the force and
effect of the present law is to be depre
Gated. He approves the general work
ings of the Australian ballot law, but
finds fault with several of its features.
He recommends the appointment of a
commissioner of labor whose duty it
snail be to collect facts and to study the
social and other conditions of those en-
gagged in manual and more particularly
in manufacturing and mechanical in
duStrieS. He closes with an admOnitiOn
to the legislature to make brief seq
sion and be chary of enactmentS.

About All the Legislators Have

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 5.--About all
the Legislators have gone to their homes
TO spend the recess, causing a lull in
gossip about the senatorship. Lieut..
Gov. Sheehan called upon Gov. Flower
today. His visit is understood to have
related to MI. Murphy's candidacy.
There is nothing new in the senatorial
Datter as far as | am aware" said Gov
Flower in reply to question. MIR.
Murphy is going to be elected, don't you
think so?' continued the governor
laughing. II would not be surprised if
the nomination came to him unanimous
ly. The opposition to him, what there
is of it, does not seem to hit upon any
candidate for the senatorship, and the
time in which to discover one is grow
irg rather short"
The Republican members of the state
legislature will hold caucus Wednes-
day night, when Senator Frank Hiscock
in all probability Will be re-nominated
to succeed himself.

Soap

What is wanted of
soap for the skin is to
wash it clean and not
hurt it. Pure soap does
that. This is why we
want pure soap; and,
when we say pure, we
mean without alkali.
Pears is pure; no al
kali in it; no free alkali.
There are a thousand

it will get out of the muddle no man

REVISING THE AGREEMENT.
Minor Charges Made In Western
Passenger Rules.

CHICAGO. Jan. 5.-The committee APP
pointed to revise the agreement of the
Western Passenger association met this
morning, but remained i'll session only
until noon, when it adjourned to meet
again tomorrow. A few minor changes
in some of the rules were agreed upon.
One provision, which will probably be
adopted by the committee, is that rate
once reduced for any cause may not be
advanced without the unanimous con-
sent of all lines. Another important
matter under consideration is that of
arbitration. 1t is generally admitted
that the present method of selecting
arbitrators who are unacquainted with
the rules and purposes of the agreement
is unsatisfactory, and the proposition
which fluids most favor with the COM
mittee is to have permanent board of
arbitrators selected from the passenger
officials of the ASSOCIATION. or board of
that character to serve for stated
period OF three months or more.
