A FALSE ALARM.-About I o'clock
last night rumor that the Deis build
ing at New Alexandria was on fire
caused numbers of people in this city
20 take the electric cars for that place
and as many more to proceed thither
on foot. By the time they reached the
factory all semblauce of fire had dis
appeared, if it had even existed. 1t
seems that the pump which feeds the
boilers was not working satisfactorily,
and it became necessary to draw the
fires, and in doing so some sawdust and
shavings became ignited. This, how
ever, was matter which caused no
apprehension, as the means of meeting
such an emergency were at hand aud
the trouble was soon over; but a blow
off cock at that time made considerable
noise, and parties at the Mount Yer
non Hotel near by supposed the build
ing was on fire and telephoned their
surmises to this city; hence the alarm.

LONDON, December 2l.-The people Of
the leading towns Of England, Ireland,
Scotland and Wal 8, as we'll as OF many
smaller towns in the manufacturing
and industrial districts, woke up this
morning to find bill-boards and lamp
posts covered with copies Of q semi revo-
lutionsry manifesto, signed by the na-
tionsl administrative council Of the
Independent labor party.
The headquarters OF this movement
are in this city, and inquiries developed
the fact that over 100000 plscsrds Of
different sizes as we'll as pamphlets con-
tanning the manifesto, which was adopted
at q recent secret meeting Of the council,
have been quietly ,ahiEFsd all over the
country during the past week for stimuli.
taneous appearance to-day. The mani
festo in part reads as follows:
"We have arrived at q critical stage in
the progress Of the people toward social
and economic freedom. Capitalism is
daily drawing it's forces closer together,
and the wealth wrung from the workers
is now being mercilsssly used against
them by the idle rich. The old political
parties are in sntsgonism to the eco
nomIc emancipation Of the people.
"Tory landlords and liberal capitalists
are equally pledged to the system Of
rent, profit and interest by which labor
is robbed. In the class war, liberal and
conservative alike are on the side of
privilege and against the producers. The
policy Of the independent labor party is
to especially deal with the government
in power for the time beng.
"The frat parliamentary session of the
new government has been sgnallzsd by
the discussion Of Irish affairs to the
practical exclusion Of almost every vital
question affecting the interests Of the
workers Of the United Kingdom. Out
side the house Of commons the indus
trial struggle has been growing steadily
in volume and intensity. The present
year has been unparalleled for the events
Of remarkable magnitude in the un-
ceasing war Of the working classes
against privilege and monopoly; 1893 has
the conflicts Of capitalism with
the cotton operatives, with the Hull
dock lsborsrs, with the miners.

Of the owners tactics in seeking to en-
force their demands by the starvation OF

TEMPORARY PATBRNALIsM.
The Santa Fe Railroad System in the
Hands Of United States Court
Receivers,

Hands Of United States Court
Receivers,
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and
the st. Louis & San Francisco railroads,
comprising what is called the Santa Fe
system, are now in the hands of three
receivers, appointed on December % by
United States Circuit Judge Caldwell,
sitting in chambers at Little Rock, Ark.
RecsiVeEship was resorted to as the only
means Of keeping the roads in operation,
and protecting employees and patrons
against the holders of mortgage bonds
and watered stock during the period Of
depression. Whether the court acted
wisely in selecting as receivers men who
are already in the employ of the stock
holders remains to be seems The only
excuse for doing SO was that they were
acquainted with the business OF the
roads.
The three receivers appointed are j. w.
Reinhart Of Boston, ]. j. McCook Of New
York, and Joseph G. Wilson Of Topeka.
The first named is president, and the
second general counsel Of the Santa Fe
company. Mr.. Wilson is clerk of the
United States district court at Topeka.
The application for receivers was made,
according to press reports, by the Union
Trust Company Of New York, WEo hold
&130,000,O00 Of bondholdsrs' securities,
upon which interest amounting to
$5,OO0,OO0 will fall due January l. This
interest in connection with about the
same amount Of floating indebtedness
made it doubtful as to how long the
roads could continue in business without
change in the management. The death
of George @. Msgoun, financial manager
Of the road, which occurred in New York
last week, may have precipitated the
action of the bondholders.
SOME HISTORY.
On February II, 1859, the territorial
legislature Of Kansas passed an act Great
ing the "AtChison & Topeka railway
company" The capital stock was fixed
at 81, 100000, and at q meeting held in
Atchison on September Is, $4,000 was
subscribed for the purpose Of making
preliminary surveys. The first president
Of the road was Cyrus K. Holiday, and
among the directors were Samuel G
Pomsroy and Edmund G. Ross, both Of
whom Rfterward became United States
senator's. In 1860 Mr.. Holiday went to
Washington and made an effort to secure
. land grant, but it was not until three
years later that congress took action.
An act was passed in March, 1863, under
which grant Of 6,400 acres per mile was
made to the State Of Kansas in trust for
the railway, and on March 4, 1854, the |
State transferred it to what had then |
become, by act of the legislature, the
AtchiSOn, Topeka & Santa Fe railway.

has been deeply touched by their suffer
ing. The naturalization Of our mines
and minerals is an imperative necessity
in the interests alike OF the coal pro-
ducer and the community, and 1t is In
the power of the working Glasses to
force the question by their votes within
the range of practical politics.
"The policy Of the new government in
relation to these trade disputes has been
one of political impotence tempered by
cant. When the conservatives employed
the forces Of the crown for the coercion
Of the Irish peasantry the liberal party
effusively protested in horror-stricken
accents against the policy Of the late
Irish secretary. The hypocrisy Of the
liberal outcry is manifested by their own
readiness to employ on the slightest pro-
vocation the police and sAo military
against the unoRsnding workman.
"The country was implored by the
leaders Of the liberal party to remember
MitChelstOwn.' With cynical efFEontery
this so-called democratic government
has been in open league with the forces
OF capitalism in attempting to crush la
Dor. At FtStherstone innocent men were
