Wonderful Invention.

volume of computation Is 100 much for

"A LIVELY SESSION.
several Matters OF Importance to DO Con-
sidercd by Aliermea.

sidercd by Alderme,.
There seems TO be an impression that at
the meeting of the board of aldermen this
afternoon there will be strong opposition
tothe ordinance authorizing the mayor
TO guarantee, on behalf of the city, the
interest on S750,0oo bonds OF the Provi-
dence and Springfield railroad.
The ordinance passed the common coun-
Gil at its last session without opposition,
and it was supposed the action OF the
board wcald be the same. Since then,
however, there has been considerable agi-
tation with the prospect OF pretty lively
debate at the session today.
Another matter which is special arder
is the ordinance creating fire commission.
This has been on the table long time and
the prospects ere that IL will be taken up
and disposed OF today The Indications
point 20 its passage, but then these indica-
tions may, when the city fathers get to-
gether, prove 10 be without good founda-
ton.

which was recently Investigated by the

Lehish Valley Strikers GET the "Shor
End" Of II.
new MEN ARE TO BE RETAINED
To the Great disappointment OF Many
old Hands There Seems To lie SEN
tIment of Unwiiiiugaess TO Accept
These Terms.

WILKEsDARRE. Pa, Dec. AFTER being
In suspense all day, the Lehigh Valley
railroad strikers received official informa-
tion last evening from Chairman Rice Of
the grievance committee that the strike
had been declared of. The strikers are
now awaiting Rice's arrival home. until
they learn on what terms they are to re-
turn to work There is a feeling tonight
that Grand Chiefs Arthur, Sargent and
Wilkinson conceded too much TO General
Manager Voorhees,. and that the men are
not at all pleased with their action, and
unless all hands are taken back there will
be considerable dissatisfaction. 1t is not
believed that all will be taken back. An
official Of the Lehigh Valley said:
''The men who came to our rescue when
we needed men will bs kept in our en-
ploy. 1t would not bs right or just to
dismiss them under the circumstances"
Deeply Dissppo!nted.
EAsToN, Pa, Dec. IA report was cir
culated here that the Lehigh Valley strike
had been declared on again. This is denied
By the leaders Of the strikers, but the fact
is that many of the men are dissatisfied

MAUcH CHUNK, Pa. Dec. There is a

body, aud every man took his place When
the arrangement was made known to
them things assumed different shape
They unanimously declared that every
man would have to be taken back or
none. The strikers held meeting in the
Opera House last evening. The prop
osirion for settlement was rejected. SIM
iiar action was taken at Lehighton, Weiss
port and White Haven. The men refused
to go work singly. They want the non-
union men discharged.

MEN ARE BROTHERS
A Speech by the Governor
of Kansas.
THE IDEAL IN POLITICS.
Telling What Should Be While the
Practical Wing of His Party Gets
Ready to Organize.
Special to THE MoRNISG CALL

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 9.-The triumph of
the Populists of Kansas, made possible at
the polls In November, was fulfilled to-day.
The ceremony took place in the hall Of the
House of Representatives, and was wit
messed by probably the greatest crowd that
ever assembled In Kansas on a similar oc-
casion. Precisely at noon the old and new
officers appeared and took seats at the right
of the stand. At 1910. John w. BreiGenthal.
chairman OF the Peoples party State central
committee and master Of ceremonies. intro
duced Rev. w. G. Todd, who invoked the
divine blessing. Then Governor Humphrey
was introduced and spoke briefly, congratu-
lating his successor.
When Governor Lewellin appeared the
first hearty demonstration OF the occasion
was shown: In his address he said In
part: 1.-The survival Of the fttest' is the
government of brutes and reptiles, and such
philosophy must give place to government
which recognizes human brotherhood and
protects the rights OF the laborer and the
producer. Sectional amnesty must be for
gotten. The state is greater than any
party. But the citizen is greater than the
state, while the family the citizen produces
is the priceless jewel OF our civilization.
The problem was now to make it possible
for the citizen to live by his own labor. If
the Government failed of these things
il ceased TO be of advantage to the citizen.
He was absOlyed at once from his alle-
glance, and was no longer held by civil
compact. But the Government is not a
failure. This Is generation which has
come to the rescue Conscience is in the
saddle. and the grandeur of civilization
shall be emphasized by the dawn Of new
era In which the people shall reign, when
the withered hand of want shall be no more
outstretched for charity, and when liberty.
equality and justice shall have a permanent
abiding-place in this republic"
The oath OF Office was then administered
by Chief Justice Horton to the new Gov
ernor.
The Popuist leaders at secret caucus
last night decided in the contest for Senator
to support the middle-of-the-road third
party candidate. The Democrats are very
much put ont over this action. and it is un-
derstood that five members of the Leglsla-
ture will stand firm. having the balance Of
power, for compromise candidate.
The Populists intend to organize the
House whether the Republicans have a ma
jority or not The plans is, If the Republi-
cans show clear majority. to withdraw
and organize a new House, which Governor
elect Lewelling and the Senate will organ
lie. Various legal decisions in support of
this action are cited by the Populist leaders.
These. they claim. show each House to be
law unto itself.

LOOKING FOR DEATH.
He Rested Comfortably Ali Day,
but Is Very Low.
The Friends of the Great Statesman
Feel That They Are Hoping
Against Hope.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-Dr. Johnston, after
remaining in the Blaine house all night. lett
shortly after O'Clock this morning. He said
Blaine enjoyed a peaceful sleep during the
night and was only awakened at such times
as we're necessary to give him medicine and
nourishment. The doctor puts a much more
hopeful aspect on the case this morning, but
viii net go into details further than to say
the night has been a satisfactory enc.
At o'clock an attendant at the door of
the Blaine mansion said the patient was
resting very easily indeed. Blaine is show
ing remarkable vitality. In yesterdays
sinking spells it was thought he could not
survive, but his system responded to the
remedies administered with much readiness.
Al II O'Clock DR.. Johnston. who had just
come from 4 visit to the statesman's bed
side, said: blaine is much better. He is
as we'll as he was four days ago, and has
en- tirely recovered from the relapse Of
Saturday night and yesterday morning. He
Is quite cheerful this morning, and l feel
very much encouraged respecting him."
The members Of the family and others spoke
q the same strain.
One Of the closest friends Of Blaine, who
aTs admitted to the sick chamber last night
SD to-day: "The light of the life of
ByalDe is going out do not think he will
survive the next twenty-foar hours. His
present condition Is q struggle between life
and the end. which is likely to come at
ang time. he is apparently oblivious of his
surroundings. but frequently rouses from
comat0se state. and though too weak to
manifest his interest, yet gives evidence Of
eon:ciousless.
Dr.JoAnston paid vlsitto Blaine between
8 and s. o'clock this evening. He said MI
Blaine had rested comfortably all day, and
was mucl better. He has rallied considerably
and there was no reason so far as DR.. John
son could see to expect fatal termination
during tie night.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-Dr. Hyatt, after
visit tonight, reiterated what DIT. John
son had said about the condition Of Blaine
during the day, and added that there were
DO signs Of fatal turn during the night.
At ! A NJ. the doctors gave out the fol-
lowing bulletin: "Mr. Blaine passed a COM
Portable day until 8 o'clock last evening,
when be became not SO well. A. this hour
ne is ST losing strength"
At O'Clock this morning there was every
apDearaRse Ct quiet within the Blaine man
sion. Bane's physicians being asked as to
whether there was any immediate danger
OF Blaine death replied that he was liable

ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS.
Gathering of the Clans for the Great
Joilification.

SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 8.-To-morrow in
augural ceremonies will probably find as
sembled at the State Capitol more promi-
nent Illinois Democrats than have gathered
at Springfield since the war. Thousands OF
invitations have been sent out. A letter of
regret has been received from President
elect Cleveland, who says, in part: 81 con-
cur with you in your estimate OF the signfi-
canoe of the occasion. The fact that Ili-
nos. for the first time in forty years. is
about to install Governor Of our political
faith affords me, in common with all Demo-
Gratis throughout the land, great gratifica-
tion. / trust that this administration will
fully satisfy the high expectations you have
OF it and that Democratic supremacy in
your State may be maintained"
After the electors had cast the vote of the
State to-day for Cleveland and Stevenson
they called in body upon Vice President
elect Stevenson, who has been in the city
since morning. holding an informal levee at
his hotel. Chairman Lovejoy acted as
spokesman and in brief address announced
the action of the electoral college. Mr..
Stevenson replied in a brief address of
thanks and then had pleasant chat with
all the electors and in the course of the gen.
eral talk said that he was satisfied that the
last Democratic convention did wise and
proper thing when it voted for strong res
olution on the question Of the tariff. 1t at
once stamped the representatives of the
party as having honest convictions and the
courage to express them.

HAD A HARD TIME.
California Fruit Has Not Been i'm Large
Demand

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Ths Commercial Bull
letin SAYS: Handlers OF California dried
fruit have enjoyed anything but an enya-
BILE experience latterly. Word has come
from the primary sources Of supply that
Western purchases have stiffened prices
there for aDricois. peaches and prunes,
while even the unfortunate raisn appears
to have taken a turn for the better there.
Chicago sent along word that more business
has been done and better prices realized in
the Western dstributiye centers. AT the
last minute of the eleventh hour some East
ern distributors showed signs Of awakening
70 the fact that there is something more
than strong adviees, coming from outside
points, but buying Oh their part is still con-
servatiye in the fullest meaning Of the term,
so much so in fact as to indicate they are
completely Indifferent to the oft-repeated
prediction that New York and Philadelphia
are sure to be left" That prices have har-
dened slightly the past few days is fact,
however, and. drawing the line at raIsins,
perhaps, spot stocks appear none too heavy
to meet good average consumption from
this time out.
