New York Custom Officers Discover New
Smuggling Scheme.
NEW YORK, March 21.-Custom ofic-
ials at this port believe they have discov-
cred an attempt to smuggle lot of theat-
rical costumes into the country. 1t ap-
pears that a number of Italian opera
singers arrived here on the steamship
New York Tuesday. Each one had from
two to four trunks and it is said declared
to the custom officials that
they had nothing dutiable. On
examination the trunks showed
that they were filed with new
costumes, in all enough for 200 people.
Mr.. Abbey said he held bills showing that
each individual member of the com pany
purchased his or her costumes and they !,
therefore, were entitled under the law to
admission free OF duty as ''tools of
trade.'' There were few things, he said i,
belonging to the management, and on
these he wanted to pay duty. He said he
would submit satisfactory proof of all his
statements to the collector. Collector
Hendricks says that if the facts are as
Abbey states the trunks will be released.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Planet FIGURING Mills at Litch-
field, Ills, Destroyed.
PART OF THE CITY. WRECKED
One Person Is Burned to Death and a
Number Injured.
The shock Was Felt a Distance of Fifty
Miles-Houses Shaken from Their
Foundations = People Pros
trated on the Streets

LtTCHFIELD, H., March 21.-The most
frightful calamity in the history of this
city occurred at an early hour this morn
ing, and resulted in the loss of 81 200, 600
worth of property and number of lives,
practically wrecking half of the town and
damaging property for miles around.
Shortly after o. clock this morning, fire
was discovered-in Kohler's Planet steam
Touring mills, the largest of the kind in
the world, located in the southwest part
of the city.
The fire department had scarcely arrived
on the scene when an explosion of terrific
violence shook the earth for miles around,
the shock being felt even as far as Deca-
tur, fifty miles distant. It broke the plate
glass windows in majority OF the stores
in the city, Frustrated almost every one
on The streets, shook houses loose from
their foundations and Jared machinery in
the Litchfeld car and machine shops to
such an extent that work will have to be
suspended until the necessary repairs can
be made.
1t is supposed the fire originated from a
spark from passing locomotive and the
subsequent explosion was caused by
flames coming in contact with the accu-
mutation of mill dust. 1t looked at one
time as if the entire south end of the town
would be consumed but the fire depart
ment after hard fight of three hours
managed to prevent the flames from
spreading.
Head millwright John Corue OF Water
loo attempted to save some tools from the
burning building. He was stunned by
the explosion, thrown against the
smokestack and pinned there and was
burned to death, his limbs being burned
off,
1t is not yet know whether there are
any other fatalities, though number of
serious injuries are reported.
The grain elevator adjoining the mill,
containing $50, 900 bushels of wheat,
burned to the ground with it's contents,
together with dozen Wabash freight
cars standing alongside. The track is
blockaded and telegraph wires disabled.
The mill was owned by Kohler Bros.
of st. Louis, and had capacity of 1900
barrels OF -four daily, and employed $50
hands. L. A. Smith, general manager of
the mills, places the loss at $500, 200; in
surance about $3.50, 200. The other losses
are several residences and barns, which
are insured in part.

NEW YORK, March 81. - princess"
Victoria Kaiaulani, has promulgated her
farewell address to the American people
as follows:
"To the American people-Before leaving
this land I want to thank all those whose
kindness has made my visit such happy
one. Not only the hundreds of hands l
have clasped nor the kind smiles l have
seen, but written words OF sympa-
thy that have been sent me from SO many
homes, have made me feel that whatever
happens to me, l shall never be stranger
to you again. 1t was to the American
people I spoke and they heard me, as l
knew they would, and now say God bless
you for it, from the beautiful home where
your fair first lady reigns to the dear Grip
pied boy who sent me his loving letter and
prayer. (Signed.)

morrow.

Contracts Were Made.

he says Under bismarck Many fraudulent
Contracts Were Made.
BERLIN, March 21.-Rector Ahlwardt, in
the course OF rabidly anti-Semitic
speech today, declared that he had docu-
ments which showed conclusively that
while Prince Bismarck was chancellor
fraudulent contracts were made repeated
ly with Jewish financiers, and that vast
amounts were transferred dishonesty by
means of these contracts from the Golfers
of state to the pockets of Jewish specu-
lators. The statements were made by
Ahlwardt amid growing confusion. He
was interrupted by calls for names, but
did not give them.
After the president had quoted the
house Ahlwardt said deputies were not
obliged to depend on his word for proof
that these frauds existed, as documentary
evidence was above impeachment. Had
the losses to the state through these con-
tracts been a trivial matter, it might bet
ter have been allowed to pass unnoticed.
but the truth was through its relations
with the Jews the government had lost
hundred millions. Documents proving
this were signed by men of national repu-
tation, several of whom were now minis
tiers. and one a Prussian minister of
finance.
A prolonged uproar followed this state
ment. Deputies shouted that he must
produce the documents, as his word had
been proven worthless, and the debate
closed with his being directed to submit
the documents to the reiehstag tomorrow.

six men who We're counted in. / was told
that w. j. Buchanan received $15, 600 or

Pete Klein / wanted s., 900. l said he
would be reimbursed by the Populist
party. He gave me check for s., 900 and
this l paid to the men. My Judgment is

four men to sign for Douglass. Later on
Judge Doster told me three democrats
would go into the Populist house as soon
as three Republicans would make the
break. sent word to Klein before that

stroying the policy business
Legate explained that he paid 81 800 to
secure three Republicans to vote with the
Populists. the Democrats, however,
would not join the movement. Failing
to get the Republicans to break he sought
to get Populists in the Republican house.
Klein will testify before the commission
tomorrow. He declares the most sensa-
tional testimony is yet to come.

Shoots Him.
Moscow, March 21.-The mayor of
Moscow was shot in the abdomen with a
revolver today by man named Adria-
noff. The city council met in the city
hall to elect new mayor. when Adrianoft
pushed his way in and demanded loudly
to see the mayor, and Mayor Alexaieff left
the chair to ascertain his business. AS
Adrianoff began to reproach him with
dishonesty and oppression of the people
Alexajeff ordered him to leave the build
ing. Adrianoff then drew revolver and
shot the mayor in the stomach.
Adrienoff was delivered to the police.
Physicians dressed Alexajeff's wound and
restored him to consciousness, though he
can hardly survive the night. Adrianoff
is of a respectable middle class family.
Whether he was a Nihilist, OF shot the
mayor merely to avenge private griey-
ance is not known. The police believe he
is insane. The reason for believing that
he may have had political motive is that
the police in searching him found in his
shoe slip of paper, on which was writ

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The pressure
exerted by congressman at the White
House for appointments has developed
into an individual scramble. The presi-
dent has effectually disentegrated the del
egate endorsement system, and now each
man is going in for himself and pushing
individual friends. One result which the
president achieved, and which was his
design, is the breaking up Of ring politics
in delegations. Patronage heretofore
considered the sacred property of senator's,
for instance, marshals and district attor-

ment is made by the Examiner that the
annual report of the Southern Pacific for
1892 will show a loss OF about 81, 900, 600 in
net earnings compared with the previous
year. The loss, however, will not be
quite enough to wipe out the surplus
Though the earnings have materially de-
creased, the report will make better
showing than for years proceeding 1891.
The causes for the decline in net earnings
is not set forth in detail, though, how
ever, one reason is the loss of business
ships for seven months OF last year.

THE cHERoKEE STRIP.
Reasons Given for Delay in Opening the
Land to Settlement


Land to Settlement.
WASHINGTON. March 21.-When the
Senate ratified the treaty for cession to
the United States of the Cherokee strip, it
inserted therein a clause which provides
compensation for land, to be made in
time payments, in place of the REG uire-
ment of the government to pay cash as
contemplated in the agreement originally
drawn up with the Indians. This modi-
fcation of the treaty was not accepted by
the Indians, but will be considered by their
legislative body, the Cherokee council,
to be held next Monday. The early OPEN
ing of the strip will be entirely dependent
upon the action OF the council, for should
it reject the modification of the treaty
made by the Senate then it will be neces-
sary for the matter to be again brought
before Congress, which would, of course,
indefinitely delay opening the lands to
settlement

Guilty and Sentenced.

De Lesseps, Baihut and BIondin Found
Guilty and Sentenced.
PARIS, March 21.-The jury in the Pan
anna cases today rendered a verdict of
guilty in the cases OF Chas. De Lesseps,
Baihut and Blondin, and acquitted the
others.
Those not guilty were Marius Tontane,
Sans Leroy, Senator Berral and deputies
Duqu, De La FauccOnna, Gobron and An
tonin Proust.
The court, after deliberation, SEN
fenced Baihut to imprisonment for five
years, to pay a fine of 10000 francs and
the loss Of civil rights. Blondin was SEN
tencec to Imprisonment for two years,
and Charles De Lesseps to imprisonment
for one year, the one year to run cur
ready imposed on him. All three of the
convicted prisoners are condemned to pay
damages demanded by civil parties to the
proceedings. The sentences of Charles
De Lesseps and Blondin are comparatively
light on the ground of extenuating cir
cumstances in their cases.
The court also ordered De Lesseps,
Biondin and Baihut to pay Mon. Chi
court. HQuidatOr OF the Panama Canal
from the treasury Of the company and
paid Baihut for his influence in favor Of
the lottery loan bill.
Chas. De Lesseps received his sentence
calmly, although the strain of the trial
has rendered him extremely haggard and
nervous. When he arose before the re-
tirement of the jury to reaffirm his inno-
cence, he spoke with difficulty, and occa-
sionally hesitated for almost minute to
compose his feelings. When his wife
visited him in his cell shortly afterwards,
he broke down and wept like a child.
Baihut talked for an hour in his cell
with his wife and two daughters. Despite
the hopelessness of his case he was evil
IDENTIFY unprepared Tor the full weight Of
his sentence, for during the interview
with his family he sobbed repeatedly and
begged forgiveness for the disgrace he had
brought on them.
Blondin was hardly less affected when
he bid goodbye to his son and daughter.
