RUNGE'LL Be THERE.
Another Round Of the Fire
Department Inquiry Will
Come Tonight.
Edgar Vincent, of London,
Says GIadstone's Bill Will
Be Passed.
Col. Mattson and Dean Pattee
Were Both Much Better
Yesterday.
Rev. G. L. Morrill, Calls "POpe
Bob" to Account on
Washington.

The fire department investigating
committee will hold its second session
this evening, and the indications are
that there will be an interesting time.
The underwriters will be there in mum
bers, and the list of questions they
will put to Runge when he is
on the witness stand will stir
the fire to red heat. 1t is likely that
the committee will decide not to go into
anything outside OF the matter OF the
discharged fremen, for it is contended
they have noauthority beyond the spirit
Of the resolution passed by the council.
In case, however, that Runge's at
torney makes too many objections
to the committees procedure, ne
will be relegated to the rear
and the whole affair thrown open, the
committee will assume the responsible
ity of investigating the conduct OF the
chief in all departments, and run the
risk of securing the sanction OF the
council afterward. Judges Fish and
Young will appear as council 1or the
firemen. They propose TO make things
warm for Runge and his attorney.
Runge will no doubt be present when
the meeting is called to order. for 1t is
understood he has recovered from MS
attack Of lumhagO. He will be asked
why he discharged the tiremen, and the
committee will insist upon his produc-
ing evidence of their untitness in case
he claims they were discharged for in

GLADsToNE,s BILL.
Edgar Vincent, OF London, Says 1t
Will Pass.

Edgar Vincent, OF London, says IL
Will Pass.
Edgar Vincent, of London, who is
staying for a couple of days at the do-
tel Waverly, en- route to the Pacific
coast, yesterday unburdened himself
of the following remarks concerning
the introduction of the home rule for
Ireland bill. Said he:
"The Importance of the measure is
now thoroughly understood by all
classes and the absolute necessity of
some measures beiEg taken by which
the present generation may be relieved
of the Irish question is so apparent that
the prospect of speedy legislation seems
assured to close observer. Naturally,
the Conservative party strendouSly OPP
pose any radical alteration OreVen Slight
change which affects the present con-
stitutional makeup of the union
of Great Britain, but from the pres
ent temper of the house OF
commons, with a Liberal majority to
support Mr.. Gladstone's bill, there ap-
pears little doubt of some remedial
measure, being passed which will be
stow upon Ireland some sort OF self
government OF course, it will then re-
main to be seen what use they Will make
of their opportunity. The one danger
which is likely to impair their success,
in the event of obtaining self-govern-
ment, will be from factional dissenslons
among themselves, and when it is borne
in mind how fervent is the Irish tem-
permanent, how thoroughly in earnest
they become over every issue raised,
his danger is not underestimate.
Il was astonished to see what full re-
ports of Mr.. Gladstone's speech were
cabled over here, and it speaks well OF
the enterprise of American newspapers.
speaking of trade, matters are very
dull, principally on account OF the serl'
Gus failures OF so many building So
cieties, which are in way deposit
banks for the thrifty class OF poorer
people, who put their saw
ingS into these Institutions. And
also there is quite a feeling
OF distrust in the larger and more repre-
sentative circles of capital, arising from
the shrnkage of values in investments
and from the holding back of capital
from new enterprises. This reflects on
the working classes. and this winter has
run nearly every department OF trade so
dull that the unemployed have been
very numerous and suffered severely"

NO SAVINGS BANK.
A. s. Ankeny Wouldn't Like to
See the Mcmillan Bill Pass.

See the Mcmillan Bill Pass.
Everything pertaining to the public
school is full of interest for A. s. An
keny. The other day his attention was
called to the Mcmillan bill before the
legislature, providing for the establish
ment of a savings bank system in con-
nection with the schools of the state.
He was asked his opinion of the bill.
He failed to find many commendable
features in it.
The schools should not be weighted
with miscellaneous attachments" he
said. THE schools are established to
give children an education. If they do
that they will do all that be expected of
them. Anything that has financial
flavor should be kept out of the schools
by all means. In our public schools
the children should be put
on an equality as nearly as
possible. This cannot be done if the
question of money be ever raised. If
this savings bank system were to be-
come operative, it would cause no end
of humiliation and heartburning to the
little ones. One little girl would say,
Her little neighbours mother has been
i'll, and all the money has gone for medi-
cine OF food, and she has no 10 cents to
put in the bank. She is made to feel
her poverty. Such feeling should
never be made possible"
Mr.. Ankeny said, further, that the bill
was too defective to become law. The
bills provisions are made to apply to all
boards of education and the school Off
GERS in independent and special school
districts. That leaves out nearly all the
regular public schools Of the state. The
bill as it stands would cover less than
1000 schools, he says.

THE FRENCH IRRITATED.
Over the Petty Annoyances of
Great Britain.

PARIS, Feb. 19.-The internal situa-
ton in France will certainly be ar
ranged sooner or later. What is most
disquetng is the situation abroad,
which is anything but good, especially
as to the relations with England. At
the same time. frances relations with
Germany are less strained, because both
sides know that the result OF war
would be so serions that neither dares
to commence. England, on the contra
ry, is seeking to create diff culties with
France in every possible way ana place.
After the attempt to take Morocco,
which failed, came the Egyp-
tian question, which was GER
tainly caused by the high
handed action of Lord Cromer toward
the khedive, who only asked to be left
in peace. The khedive is attempting to
regain" possession from the English OF
the rights unduiy encroached upon by
them. The English, perceivlng this,
are endeauortng to create dlfflcultles
with France on account of the port
of BiZerta, in Tunis. Their claims are
based upon the fear lest France should
convert Bizerta into military post,
notwithstanding her denial of any such
intention. Italy has complained for
some time, and England backs her up.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-The storm.
which had been brewing all day, broke
over the city at fifteen minutes after
II O'Clock last night. For time it made
things lively for pedestrians, who could
not see more than few feet ahead Of
them through the snow, which was
whirled along on the wings of gale
blowing at the rate of forty miles
an hour. 1t looked as if the long-ex-
pected blizzard, the brother of New

the early hours Of the morning the
wind was still blowing a gale, driving
the snow in binding sheets before it,

CAUGHT a Tartar.

Patrolman Grattan, whose beat is at
the Milwaukee depot, caught Tartar
yesterday morning. Gus Mullane. a
tough from the North side, got into
fight near the depot, and Grattan waded
in to stop it, and at the
same time collar Mullane. The lat
ter made it extremely uncomfortable
for Grattan. and had not another officer
appeared OH the scene it is likely that
some other policeman than Grattan
would be now walking the beat at the
Milwaukee depot. Mullane broke Graf
tan's nose and one of his fingers. He
got good humping himself, for Graf
tan did not spare his club. Mullane

The Medical Use OF Eggs.

1t may not be generally known that
there is nothing more soothing for
either burn or a scald than the white
of an egg. 1t is contact with the air
that makes burn so painful, and the
egg acts as varnish, and excludes the
air completely. and also prevents in
fammation. An egg beaten up lightly,
with or without little sugar, is good
remedy in cases of dysentery and diar-
rhea: it tends by its emollient qualities
to lessen the Inflammation, and, by
forming transient coating for the
stomach and intestlnes, gives those or
ganS chance to rest until Nature shall
have assumed her healthful sway over
the diseased body.

MONEY FOR HOME RULE.
ome Will Be Raised by Chicago
Ir;Shmen.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-two hundred
Irishmen, McCarthyites and anti-McCar-
thyites, Redmondites and arti-Red-
mondites, met today at the Grand Pacific,
and met for the most part in harmony.
Gladstone's nome rule measure for Ire
land was the cause. The proceedings
for the greater part were as harmonious
and enthusiastic as an Irishman knows
how to make it. Judge Moran was the
president of the meeting, which was
called for the purpose OF deVlslng
means for raising money to carry on the
home rule fight. 1t was decided to aid
the measure financially. and to send a
cablegram stating the fact to the men
who signed the appeal. A motion to
send the cablegram to William Red
mond personally provoked a lively dis
cussion, and the cablegram was not
sent. The money, however. Will be
forthcoming.
A committee from the Grand Pacific
meeting was sent to the Irish erlcan
Council of the Clan-Na-G8l organiZa-
ton, which Was holding its annual
meeting, with a request for cO-opera-
ton. 1t was not granted, and the COM
mittee was refused with emphasis an
opportunity to present its message.

ACCOMPANIED BY LIGHTNING
Strange Freak of the Storm at
WilkeSbarre.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 19.-At y
O'Clock tonight terrific blizzard swept
over this city and vicinity, accompanied
by peals of thunder and binding flashes
of lightning. 1t had been showing all
day, and in the evening the fury of the
storm increased. The wind, blowing
forty miles an hour from the southwest,
drove the snow before it in sheets. Pc
destrlans almost within reach OF their
own doors became confused by
the binding snow and had
serious difficulty IN reaching
places of safety. For fully half
an hour the blizzard ragged,
the mercury going down ten degrees.
The air seemed to be packed with flying
snow, the wind howled frightfully and
the lightning played about in a danger
Gus manner. Residents of this city.
thinking that a repetition of the terrible
tornado of 1890 was about to be enacted,
fortified themselves as best they could
and waited nervously for the worst.
Fortunately, however, the wind abated,
and all fears of a cyclone were allayed.
The wind worked havoc in exposed
places about the city, where signs we're
blown down, window glass shattered
and telephone and telegraph wires
Frustrated. The storm paralyZed trafflc
on the electric roads, and all trains run
ming into this city are late.

MATTsON AND PATTEE.
Both Are on the Road to Complete
Recovery.

Recovery.
A visit to the residence of Col. Hans
Mattson on Park avenue last night re-
yealed that the condition of the eX-
secretary of states health was much
improved. The physicians stated that
he had rested easily all day, and when
the reporter called he was sleeping
soundly. This was an indication OF
renewed strength, the physicians said,
and they had strong hopes of his ulti-
mate recovery. There were a great
many visitors at the residence yester-
day, Col. Mattson's many friends being
anxious to ascertain his condition.
Reports from the bedside Of Dean Pat
tee said that he was much better last
evening. His recovery is considered
only a question of few days. Dean
Pattee's condition arises largely from
his Sedentary habits. and lack
of exercise. He is large,
lymphatic man, who has never
given much time to physical exercise.
All his live ne has been the victim Of a
bad liver. His present illness is due to
that organs condition. The inaction of
the liver resulted in a partially con-
gested condition of the brain. His ply
sicianS say that he has passed the worst
stage and will recover without suffer
ing any permanent impairment of
health.

fore he could not say what was the
judgment OF that body in regard to it.
"The bill will come upin the house. "he

opinion is that the bond amendment,
with all other amendments, as matter
of form, wifi be non-concurred in, and

the matter will doubtless be acquiesced
in by the house. But what that agree
ment will be, of course, l cannot tell"

MINNEHAHA'S WATER.
G. Nj. Loring on the Possibilities
of Its Utilization.

Minnehaha park is c. NJ. Loring's
pride. He always agitated the matter
of acquiring the lands surrounding the
falls for park purposes, and preserving
the historic waterfall from utter decay
1t hurts him to hear of projects for util-
izing the water power of Minnehaha
falls, and turning the poetic stream into
sordid commercial uses. Recently a
Swiss engineer, Steiner, by name, has
been talking much about Harvesting
Minnehaha. Mr.. Loring doesn't like it.
"These fellows should learn, one for
ALL" said he the other day, "tha hey
will never have chance to use what
ever water power may be found
at MInnehaha. They should know
park boards acquisition of Min
anything like that. We have bought
Minnehaha and paid for it, and spent
money in embelishing it. 1t is not
likely that we will allow water-poWer
company to undo all that we have done.
This talk about utilizing the power
of Minnehaha is foolish, anyhO W. The
people who want to make it turn mill
wheels must have seen it last summer
for the first time, when more water was
flowing over the falls than any one had
seen for years The aggregate water DOW
er of the state is not diminished much
by the subtraction of what little power
there is at Minnehaha. This latest
scheme, | understand, contemplates
storing up the water of Minnehaha
creek in Lake Amelia or something like
that. What would it amount to? A few
hours would empty it. The park board
expects to acquire Lake Amelia some
day and use it for storage purposes for
the benefit of Minnehaha. Our plans
contemplate economy of water, though.
If Lake Amelia were used for that pur-
pose the gates would be open only about
eight hours day. AS it has all been
estimated, that shows how much water
power can be had from Minnehaha.
No; no man who has any adequate con-
ception of the amount of water flow ng
over Mlnnehaha tails in the average
year will talk of utilizing its Water
power"

five months in the business, he is
as clever an actor as any member Of his

him, and the audience has the felicity
of seeing the champion appear on the
stage and speak lines in every scene.
The mimic battle between COrbett and

scene represents the ring of the

very realistic. Corbett displays his

asked for Orange Gordon, colored man
who has been waiting on PleaSinger's
daughter. Pleasinger showed fight,
when four revolvers were thrust in his
