COLUMBUS, o., April 24-The outrageous
hazing at Delaware College last week re-
suited in the introduction of bill in the
Ohio House Of Representatives to-day, by
ID. ID. Taylor, making hazing crime pun
ishable by fine Of from 800 to $500, or from
Imprisonment from six months to two
years, and when the person is permanently
marked or SCARED, it is to be held TO be
MAYHEM. II was passed TO its second read
ing under a suspension OF rules, and will
no doubt be enacted into law this week.
The House to-day refused to concur In
the Senate resolution to purchase for
81 900 portraits of the late Senators
Ben Wade and Geo. II. Peudleton TO
hang in the capitol. A House bill passing
that branch to-day makes it special crime
to steal bicycle. Mr.. Bloch introduced a
bill in the House to make the attempt to
pick a pocket equally serious as a crime
with the accomplishment OF it. Senator
Beebe's bill providing uniform examina-
tions for school teachers, is law. 1t
passed the House to-day. The special COM
mittee appointed TO investigate charges of
"boodlen made against the members Of the
House. reported this afternoon that IL
could not find evidence in support of the
charge, but the report proceeds to specu-
late suspiciously upon the difficulty of Sc
curing evidence In bribery charges, both
the briber and bribed, the only persons
cognizant Of it. being equally interested IN
keeping il secret.

KANSAS CITY, April PA regular twist
er swooped down on independence, Mo-, at
4 O'Clock this afternoon. doing lots OF mi
nor damage, but miraculously causing no
deaths.
The twister descended on the southwest
part OF the city. Rushing along for con-
siderable distance it tore up huge trees,
scattered sidewalks and signs, etc.
Before il reached the more densely pop
ulated part Of the city the ugly visitor
arose as quickly as it came, and passing
over the city again lighted in the out
skirts.
Here the damage caused q minute before
was repeated. As all had considerable
time TO escape nobody was killed, and
whether anybody was injured cannot be
learned now.
The country on either side Of the city
where the cyclone struck is geographically
the same, being considerably lower than
the city proper and was q freak of the
cyclone, striking both these spots and leav-
ng untouched the higher ground.

From tho New York Sub-Treasury Yes

From tho New York Sub-Treasury Yes
terday-Interior Banks May Force New
York to Act.
New York, April 24.-According to
Saturdays bank statement the Associ-
ated Banks Of New York hold S72, ESQ.,
600 in specie. Probably more than
S5O, 900, 600 of this is in gold. II the
Secretary of the Treasury could obtain
a portion of this it would undoubtedly
help him out IN his policy Of keeping
the gold reserve in the treasury as near
to 500, 600, 900 as possible.
Their views heretofore have been
that while they were willing to sub
scribe to an issue OF bonds to tide over
the interval before legislation can be
accomp plished, they were unwilling to
give up their gold in order that the ex-
port to Europe might be facilitated.
A very striking event in to-day's busi-
ness was the break in domestic ex-
change. The interior bank gold taken
by the Treasury last week in exchange
for currency had been rejected few
weeks before because the bankers stip-
ulated that the government should
paw exchange. Last Friday the Treas
ury withdrew its objections and
offered the notes at New York City in
exchange for the gold at Chicago. The
necessary result Of the transaction was
to create in this city heavy balances to
the credit Of Chicago banks. Chicago's
domestic exchange market, instantly
supplied with bills on New York, broke
this morning from soc. premium to q
figure below par. The movement Of
currency into New York, which last
week reached to upwards Of $4,000. 900,
ceased at once, and the practical result
is transfer of money from New York
to Chicago in precisely the amount rep
resented by this weeks anticipated
shipments from the West. Along with
this curious incident came the news Of
the gold tenders in Boston, where the
banks have decided to part with one
half of their $4,000, 900 gold.
II the gold resources Of the interior
banks were unlimited shere can be little
doubt that these double transfers would
force the hand of the New York banks,
and that in defense of their own re-
serves, If for no other reason, they
would open their own gold boards to the
government. But the National banks
outside OF this city have little more gold
to offer, and the lower exchange on New
York falls under transfers already
made, the less is the induce
ment for It's tender. The interior
banks which surrendered gold last
week, have made handsome turn in
the market, but the precise operation
cannot, of course, be repeated. Never
theless, there are evidences of change
of sentiment among the New York
banks which may lead to an offer to the
treasury. That the banks will not ten
der gold unless in concert, and that
some bankers are steadfastly refusing
their consent. is pretty we'll known in
financial circles, besides which there is

vERAGUA PAYS HIS RESPECTS.
The Descendant of Columbus Calls Upon
the President and Cabinet Members.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 24.-The
order OF nobility paid its respects to
democracy this afternoon at the White
House, when the Duke OF Veragua
called upon President Cleveland. The
Ducal party rode in two open carriages
from the Arlington Hotel, and arrived
at the Mansion at exactly o'clock, the
hour set for the reception. With the
Duke were his wife, the Duchess De
Veragua; his brother, the Marquis De
Barboles; his son, Christopher Colum-
bus Aguilera. Commander +. w. Dick
ems, representing the United States
government, and Mrs. Dickens and
Senor Don Rodrigo De Saavedra, an
attache OF the Spanish legation In
Washington, representing tho Spanish
Minister.
The Duke and his attendants were
shown Immediately into the Blue
Room, where the President and Mrs.
Cleveland awaited them. The black
trock coat which Mr.. Cleveland wore
contrasted strongly with the gold lace
and brass buttons OF the Duke, the
Marquis, Don De Saavedra and Com
mander Dickens. Gold lace was pre-
dominant feature In the uniform OF the
Duke. while across his breast he
wore a sash Of watered silk In variega-
ted colors. Hardly less brilliant was
the costume OF the Marquis, while Don
De Saayedra outshone both in the pic
turesqueness OF long cape OF white
doeskln reaching nearly to his heels.
The naval uniform OF Commodore Dick
ems, usually considered very snowy and
brilliant, was almost sombre In the con-
trast it bore 10 the attire OF the Span
iards. All four of the men wore swords,
the Dukes heavily jeweled.
There was no attempt al ceremony In
the blue room. Commander Dickens
made the introductions and few
words were spoken, with just a sugges-
tion OF formality, by the Duke and by
the President in reference TO the visit
of the Duke to America. Then the Dn-
cal party bowed itself out and re-enter-
ing the carriages was driven to
the Navy Department. In the
absence OF Secretary Herbert,
Assistant Secretary McAdoo received
the visitors and after minute spent In
conversation accompanied them TO the
State Department where they were met
by Secretary Gresham In the diplomatic
room. Escorted by Assistant Secretary
Adee of the State Department the
Duke and his party went to the office
OF Secretary Lamont and paid their re-
spects. This ended the receptions and
the party returned TO the Arlington.

MIR. JORDAN IN CHARGE.
Long Conference With the Bankers,
But No Result Arrived At-Nothlng
Made Public.

A Long Conference With the Bankers,
But No Result Arrived At-Nothlng
Made Public.
New YORK, April 94.-Conrad Jordan,
new Assistant Treasurer of the United
States, took full charge of the SUBJ
treasury this morning. He was formally
sworn in late Saturday afternoon, but
did not take control until this morning.
He arrived about 10 O'Clock and went
straight TO his Office, saying he could
make no statement at present. Mr..
Jordan was visited by Ellis 81. Roberts,
and shortly afterwards by Brayton
Ives, President of the Western Ex-
change National Bank.
President Cleveland's statement was
satisfactory enough to create a better
feeling.
At twenty minutes to three this after
noon the conference between the baak-
ers and Mr.. Jordan adjourned. All
those present as they left the SUBJ
treasury declined to say what they had
done or what the conference was about.
They referred all inQuirers to Mr.. Jor-
dan, saying that none OF those present
could tell what took place.
AS soon as the reporters assembled iu
Mr.. Jordan's room, he said:
II can only say that we have had a
discussion and debate as to the best
way to relieve the situation, both as re-
CARDS the banks and the government.
That has resulted. as usual, in delay.
You cannot know anything further
from me until that delay no longer ex-
lists"
Mr.. Jordan, in reply to further ques-
tions, said that delay would last until
something was heard from Washington.
He said that nothing had been sent to
Washington as yet as a result OF the
meeting but something would be sent.
He declined to say whether a PROPOSE
tIon had been discussed that the banks
OF this city should let the government
have some of their gold or whether a
proposed bond issue had been under dis
cussion.
Secretary Carlisle, it is affirmed, sent
TO Mr.. Jordan a communication which
Mr.. Jordan was instructed TO lay before
the New York bankers and Mr.. Jordan
summoned the latter. The proposition
of Mr.. Carlisle is said to be as to how to
raise from SOS, 900, 900 to $50, 900, 900 Of
gold. Among the plans discussed were
an issue Of bonds and q temporary loan.
Each Of these plans had some advocates
among the banks. Mr.. Carlisle pre-
ferred to obtain the gold supply by ex-
change for greenbacks, but the bankers
did not wish to give it in that way.
While the conference was going on
it was reported on the street that a
number OF the banksrs who were locked
in with Mr.. Jordan favored plan for
turning over to the government $685.
600, 600 In gold in exchange for legal
tender, and that an announcement would
be made after the closing Of business.

New York that al conference with
New York bankers Sub.Treasurer Jor-

gold from the bankers in exchange for

officials who served under Mr.. Jordan

he is held in high esteem as a man Of

they believe he will be successful In

in the treasury.

iron WORKERS WAGES.
The Manufacturers are Sure to De-
mand a Reduction.
TRADE GENERALLY DEPRESSED,
And There is no Immediate Pros
pect of Improvement-The Iron
Markers Have Decided that
This is q Good Year for a Fight
Which Will Settle Matters.

PIrTsBURG. PA, April 9s.-The Pitts
burg Post will say tomorrow that the
| probabilities are that the iron trade will
witness this year one OF the greatest
strikes that has ever occurred In this
part OF the country.
Certain IL is TO occur II the Amalga-
mated Association is not prepared 70
pare down the figures In next years
scale with no stinted hand. The man
ufacturers look upon reduction OF
wages as an absolute necessity TO the
life OF the business.
They cite the fact that labor in the
South is much cheaper and that In the
East manufacturers are favored, and
that as close as the Mahoning and
Shenango valleys in Ohio the same
terms are not demanded as here.
Though as yet action has not been
preconcerted on the part of the manu-
facturers and no formal conferences
have been held. the feeling Is general
that this year iron workers In the Pitts
burg district must ask for no higher
wages than are paid elsewhere.
The feeling is general that manu-
tnrers have been Disseminated again
by the labor organizations In this pa
Of the country and that they can be
afford to settle the matter this ye
while the business is stagnated a
while profits are out OF the question.
The manufacturers are not feeli
unklndly toward their employees. They
feel that Ii is matter OF absolute NJ
cessity that wages come down. Thv
whole thing will be set candldiy ans
fairly before the scale committees wheI
the time comes'for conference, and the
will DO asked TO divide tho profit and
losses.
The question OF strike will depend
this year on the attitude OF the ironi
workers themselves. The manufacj
turers feel that their demands are jusd
and that they intend TO abide by thei1
resolution, TO stand for a cut In wages,|
is most undeniably denied.
The whole trade to-day Is suffering,
from lack OF confidence. There seems
TO be no bottom to the prices that arA|
offered and taken, as they are at fignFsAa
now that are lower than has been tho
case for long time.
Not an iron msnnfacturer In Pitts
