Kansus City special: The regular month.
~ meeting of the Kansas City Equal suf-
frage Association was held. Dress reform
was the topic which provoked an exceed.
ingly lively discussion. There was no di.
vision OF sentiment In the matter, and al
most every woman present took occasion
to condemn the long trains. All sort OF
things was alleged against them. Thew
were called ''strcet swecpers," sRlth &C.
cumulators, and other pet names, they
were denounced as ugly, heavy, cumber-
some. and absurd. Much feeling was man
ifested In the expression OF disapprobation.
and when motion was made that i'm future
all members of the association agree not ia

Washington special: Mr.. blaine is much.
better. 1t is now fourteen days s.nco hir.
Blaine suffered u RELAPSE which many of
his intimate friends feared would speedily
prove fatal. That he has lived the old year
out and witnessed the coming of another
year is ~ surprise to many who have means
OF knowing just how Ill he has been and Is.
While there are rumcrs from time to time
that Mr.. Blaine is to be removed to some
warmer climate, no preparations have thus
fur been made by the family for such u
Journey. The fact that Mr.. Blaine Is not
able to sit up seems to be taken us evidence
that the period of his removal is very re
mote ut least. 1t is understood that Mr.
Blaine prefers to remain in Washington,
pendtng the termination of his illness. lie
is fully aware that unless his physicians
accompanied him on his journey and re-
mained with him he would be running IL
great risk. This fact and. .nn3thcr. that he
could not find elsewhere the comic: is of his
own home, make him, it Is said, very much
adverse to being removed. Sick as Mr..
Blaine Is, hc still exhibits that wonderful
Will power and nerve that has carried him
through more than one cris. In these lat
ter days lie exhibits less of the dcspon-
dcncy over his physical condition than that
which characterized him when he was aucl
stronger than he is now. In tho presence
of his family he tries to lie cheerful and
hopeful. His upprehensions he keeps as
his own secret. There are time, when lie
discusses his plans for tho future, espcc-
tally those of literary nature. OF poll
tics hc does not speak except in dcsul-
tory fashion. IL is also understood that in
case he should not be able to carry oui .'er-
tain of his literary plans he has arranged
to have papers relating to public matters
in his possession edited and published al
the proper time

Cons; ;derabie Business Activity Marks
tho Opening of the Year.
New York speciul: r. G. Dun s. Co. IS
Weekly Rcric,c oJ 1vadc: The business of
the new year opens we'll. In every part OF
the country, and apparently in almost every
branch OF business, the traders are looking
forward to u year of large transactions. But
In financial circles tho year opens with a
considerable feeling OF uncertainty, owing
to ;iie revival of gold exports which will be
about S2,O00,000 for the current week, and
10 the doubts about the action of Congress.
Trade at Chicago i, fair in volume, with
active speculation in products and stock,
ana money iii strong demand at per cent
Trade at Milwaukee is satisfactory, with
money in good demand, as at ST. Paul.
though trade is quiet and collections slow
there and ut Minneapolis Business at St.
Louis is strong. AT Kansas City jobbiny
trade is good, receipts of live stock fair,
and of grain light.
Speculation in stock is depressed by mon-
c'afy anxiety. Government and other large
disbursements make the money market
easier. but bankers exp ct exports of gold
to continue. In iron Il weaker tone is MAN =
ifcst with reports of reduced prices for pig
by some Southern concerns.
The most prosperous year ever known in
textile manufactures leaves the full produce
ton of most mills sold for months ahead,
and the new year opens with great strength
in woolens and cottons. Above all none
tary uncertainties, the enormous demand
for textile fabrics appears To give an as
su'ed future for some months to the manu-
facture and trade in these branches.
The business failures occurring through.
out the country during the last seven days
numbered $40. as compared with IL total OF
43o for the corresponding week last year.

An Ex-Convict of Tcnnessee's Coal Mines
Tells u Horrible story.
Cincinnati special: Ed Hudson, who says
he spent two aud IL half years as IL convict
miner in the coal mines In and near Brice-
vile. Tenn. tells Chief of Police Deitach
horrible story OF the treatment accorded
the convicts. BE says the men are divided
into gangs and given certain amount to
do each day. IL they fail to get out the
required amount, they are beaten with an
instrument which very much resembles the
Russian knout. All are whipped, no mat
ter ii all but one or two did their share.
He claims that he has seen conyicts die
from this beating, and Hudson is himself n
mass of scars.
The victims arc placed on the ground
face downward and held by two men. Ev.
cry cut of the knout draws blood. Two
men hc had known to commit suicide to
avoid punishment, and others have been
known to pull great pieces of slate down
upon themselves, hoping to MAIN them-
selveg SO that they could not work In the
minos. Hudson's story is on u line with
that OF very eminent professor of na-
tional repute. who recently investigated
the Tennessee system. and descibed it as
worse than Siberia, veritable hell on
earth.

dent Harrison who have had occasion to see
ana talk with him OF late nre very much
concerned about his condition and expresses
tho fear that his health will break down
before the close OF his administration. The
long series OF unfortunate mishaps to the
president aud the members OF hts family
have had very depressing effect upon
him. The death OF his wife, to whom he
was peculiarly devoted. was blow from
which he had not rallied in the slightest
degree, and IL. left him quite unable TO
Withstand the i'll fortane that has since fol-
lowed him and the other inmates Of the
White House,
veteran congressman who has been for
many years an intimate friend of General
Harrison said that since his return to Wash.
ington. the FIRST week in December, lie has
taken deep interest in the presidents
physicial condition. which, he says, Is such
rs 70 cause his friends the most serious
concern. According to this congressman
tne president Is mentally more i'll than
physically. and that 1t is only by the most
unceastng labor that he has been kept from
railing Into state of melancholy. The
ceby - VtidV I0Fs 11HEfiSOu was
aiways most indefatigable worker, but
that since the election there is NO labor too
constant or con6ning for him, and that he
purposely keeps his mind employed every
possible moment upon business affairs in
order to escape from the remembrance of
his political and domestic affections. This
congressman has known General Harrison
for many years and he says that, while he
cannot be called sick man, us he is ut his
desk every day, he has every appearance
OF being on the verge OF general break
down.
Since the election tho number of caNers
IN the day has materially lessencd and the
president has, therefore, been able to give
much more attention to public questions.
He is considerably annoyed at present by
the opportunities OF many of his personal
friends who are anxious to bo provided for
In some way before their benefactor goes
out Of office. It is said thut the presidents
poor health is the chief argument used by
his friends to have him accept the over
lures made by the Stanford University of
California and so to the Pacific Coast, and
1t Is not at all unlikely that he will agree
to deliver course of lectures for that fa-
nous institution.
