SENATOR STEWARDS LETTER.

Tie letter Of Senator Stewart to
the President of the United States,
published in yesterdays dispatches,
is magnifence production. OF
course. i. VII make no impression
on the person to whom it was ad-
dressed. He is not impressed that
way. But there are millions of peo-
pie upon whom the letter will have
its effect. There are q few dreadful
arraignmeuts contained in the body
of 1t. For Instance, after stating
that the decentralization of silver
made "a thousand dollar bond,
measured in the property required to
pay it, equal to two-thousand dol
lar bond" he asks this terrible ques-
ton:
Can you distinguish between the
moral quality of legislation which
raises the burden of debts by increas.
ing the value of money, and the
change in the figures on check or a
bond which will accomplish the same
RESULT Is it not the fact that the
former is the result of a statute frauds
ulently or ignorantly enacted, and
the latter the crime of an individual
in violation of statute, the only
substantial difference III the moral
quality of the two transactions! Ii
the managers CT concentrated capital
may lnhocently double the value OF
all bonds by legislation, why is 1t
criminal for the poor man to accom-
plish the same result as to single
bond by the change of a figure! The
former robs the whole human race,
while the latter only Injuries the III
dividual debtor.
We copy the foregoing simply as
specimen of the letter. 1t is full of
ringing indictments and fearful ar
raicnments against The class of peo-
pie who support the President, and
who prompted him 70 do what he has
done. 1t will have its effect, too,
with the people. and when Mr..
Stewart tells the President that I'M
less Ike step is retraced and justice
done, it will swamp his party, he
states an absolute fact. Even now
the pressure is so great that we be-
lieve the gold barons themselves are
seriously contemplating, on both
sides of the sea, whether it would not
be better, after all, to assume viz
tue which they have not, and give the
people the needed relief. The ar
oument that will convince them final
". will be that it will be best for
themselves to do this very thing be-
cause their securities are tumbling
to nothing, not only in the silver re-
gions. but everywhere else. Rail
roads are going to smash; business
houses are going to smash. The
stream arrested In full flow has
broken its banks and is now devas-
tating the whole country, and those
men who brought on the trouble, II
they will look closely, will discover
that it is already undermining their
own solid structures of wealth, and
that they are all liable to 60 down

WASHINGTON, D. c., December ~
The State Department Is not yot at an
end OF it's troubles, growing out OF the
repeal of the reciprocity agreements
made under the terms OF the Nc
Kinley act. and more retaliation
is looked for. Spain has already
i'm posed upon us the maximum
discriminating tariff and Germany has
prohibited our beef and other great
staples. France is by no means dis
posed 10 accept the situation her
sugar trade is placed IN by the sugar
duty, and uow thsre are strong Ia
dicatlons that the new Aus
trlan Minister. who has not
yets even presented his credeatials
to the President, is charged 10 begin On
attack upon this same sugar duty al
most Immediately, and IL concessions
canno, be secured IL Is expected that
Austria-Hungary probably viii follow
the example Of Germany in retalistlng
upon the United States.
The government OF Spain, In an earn
est desire to avert the threatened hrih
warfare between Cuba and the United
States, has under serious and favor
able consideration the cession TO Cuba
OF the privilege Of arranging her
own revenue budget, including tariffs
with the United States This
Cuban Budget is to be subject to the
approval OF Spain. The negotiations
now progressing at Madrid are partly
on these lines, but the State Depart
ment authorities are proceeding never
theless, with their retallAtory plans, rs
they do not believe SPANS concessions
To Cuba can be carried out and made
beneficial TO US for some months 70
come. The Significance OF the matter
In its commercial and political aspects
is fully realized.

such q seductive movement the stock
holders themselves, conservative men,
men IN this hall now, will vote
for the striking Of the blow.
All this, as l have said, will be the
demand and in the interest Of the rail-
roads and Of the shippers and not OF the
labor involved In carrying on the work
of transportation, as the demand OF to-
day for the enactment of the pooling
bill is alleged 10 be largely 10 the inter-
est OF the shippers and of the public
welfare. VIII the railroads now con-
sistently demand and keep their lobby

dnee the number OF strikes on all the
interstate roads, and logically on all

can now answer why IL is that the
Chicago strike is epochal In its infiu-
ence as subordinate phase OF silent
revolLtion--a revolution probably in
the interest of the public welfare. 1t is
because the events Of that strike logic
ally demand that another declaration OF
law aud Of the principles of the Federal
government shall be made; declara-
tion that all wages paid as well as
charged for any service rendered
in the transportation OF property,
passengers, ETC., shall be reason
able aud just. A declaration OF
this character, backed by the machinery
OF the government TO carry 10 into effect
would give the railroad employees the
status OF public servants. The
machinery accompanying such decla-
ration should be modelled on the Inter
State Commerce act. 1t should be pro-
vlded that some authority should be
established for the regulation OF wage
contracts on railroads, not for COM
pulsory adjustment, as now provided
for the adjustment OF freight rates so
that there would be little inducement
under IL on the part OF railroads to
paw unjust and unreasonable wages and
on the part OF employees TO quit work
when they are just and reasonable.

New YORK, December 27.-The feat

CATION to-day was the introduction of
evidence to show that Anthony Com
stock, agent for the society for the pre-
vention Of vice, had taken brbe Of
81, 600 from green goods man to pro-
cure the dismissal of an Indictment
against him. Inspector Williams or
deal on the witness stand was
also continued and the existence
of panel houses and large number of
houses of ill-fame in his district while
be was captain was shown. He said he
found the houses of ill-fame there when
he came to the district aud left them un-
molested, "because they were fashiona-
ble." Mr.. Gotf also introduced the In-
spector to the knowledge that japanese
law would not have allowed him TO own
real estate In HakOdate at the time he
claimed in his testimony yesterday that
be owned property there.
1t is understood that the committee
will not sit after tomorrow so that
great deal Of work will have to be crowd
ed into the day, aud a night session may
be held. Superintendent Byrnes, In
spectors Mclaughlin and McAvoy and
several captains have yet TO be exam
ined, so that to-morrow's session may
be one of the most important in this
com mttee.

culated this afternoon, the talk OF
lynching the negro Wiggins, who did
the shooting, was revived. Murray,
who died at noon, was wounded Sun

Tonight a large armed force is in the
Jail. The Richmond Husssrs, rein
forced aud ready for duty, are under
arms at the armory. Their horses are
saddled and bridled, and all is in readi-
ness to move at a goments notice.
There are fears of q conflict before
morning. for the authorities swear they
will give their lives in defense OF the
law. There is feeling OF unrest In the
city. 1t will be impossible TO take the
prisoner from the Jail If resistance Is
given, and the sheriff has given word
that he will protect the prisoner and
defeat any mob that assaults the prison.

The worst snow storm siuce the famous
blizzard of 1888 struck the Mohawk
valley last night 1t ragged all night
and all day with increasing fury.
Snow to the depth Of foot

from six TO ten feet In height. The New
York Central and West Shore roads have
been blocked. No efforts have been
made to run freight trains, and they are
stalled all along the tracks. Passenger
trains have been from three to eight
hours late, and two OF them were to-day
abandoned on the Mohawk division OF

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dscember q.
The coast storm Is raging here, with no
signs Of abating. A ferty-mile gale Is

New YORK, Deeembe 27.--The storm
which began at 5 o'clock last evening
continued after noon, though abated 10
violence. The snow that fell during the
night has been converted by rain into a
heavy slush. Railway trains are gener-
ally behind time, and telegraphic COM
munication is much interrupted. AT
Sandy Hook the wind Is blowing mod
crate gale from east-northeast. The
water along the Staten Island shore is
unusually high and in many places the
waves make clean breach over the
docks. At quarantine the waves are
breaking over the stone wall which was
built to protect the shore along the front
of the quarantine grounds.
Reports from the interior Indicate
more or less serious Interruption TO rail-
way traffic, Central New York showing
the most general disturbance. At Syra-
cuse there is IS inches of snow; trains
are from one TO three hours behind time
aAd street cars are unable TO move. No
trains have reached Auburn from the
east, and the morning train from the
west was two hours late. In Western
New York the storm is severe, but thus
far trains have been run nearly on
schedule time.
The storm extends all along the New
England coast. In Maine, the heavy
snow fall is a source of giadness to lum-
bermen, who are waiting for an oppor-
tunity to clear the camps OF the seasons
cut.
There is no direct telegraph!c COM
munication between this city and Sandy
Hook, owing TO the storm, and all mes
sages are received by way OF Long
Branch. AT Sandy Hook the wind is
blowing a moderate gale from east
northeast, and the rain continues. The
wires to quarantine have been working
poorly this morning. The White Star
Line steamer Majestic, which anchored
In the lower bay last night on account
OF the storm, reached quarantine short
~ after o'clock this morning.

This mornings confagration was one OF
the most destructive that has occurred
in Weston in recent years. The loss is
very great, and it will doubtless be some
time before the town recovers from the
effect of it,
The Dougherty brick block was abso-

ance.
The Brnkman block, in which was
located the Brinkman Opera House,
Brannon & Posts drug store, Klein's
clothing house. the Bee Hive and the
propretor's general store, was entirely
consumed. The loss from the buildings
alone will not fall short of $50, 900.
Brannon & Post estimate their
loss to be about $4,000. They
carried $4,000 insurance KIein's
loss will reach perhaps $1,000

MINERS REFUSE
To Accept the Compromise Decided Upon at
the Ptttsburg Conference Last Week
Nay Be Strike.

PIrrsBURG. PA, December 27.-The
miners Of the Pittsburg district have
rejected the compromise rate proposed
az the delegate convention last week.
The vote Of the locals was counted to-
day, and by a vote OF three to
one, it was decided that nothing less
than the 60 centrate would be accepted.
Regard less OF this action many OF the
mixers are now working at the So cent
rate adopted by the operators sssocia-
tion, while others have made lndi-
vidual contracts at different prices be-
low 90 cents.
Should the convention OF miners and
operators TO be held tomorrow fail 10
accomplish a settlement, another con-
yentlon Of miners will be called TO decide
whether a strike shall be ordered.
MAssuLON, ONO, December 27.-A
delegate meeting Of the miners Of this
district held here to-day to consider the
proposition TO accept the rate of wages
fixed by the board OF arbitration, but no
decision was reached. President John
Mcbride, Of the United Mine Workers,
was present, and 10 a speech he took a
QEEluGQ ckAuu Ok alnSe hhu oNNuRhonNO
OF the terms Of the settlement reached
by the arbitrators.
He declared that there was something
rotten in the proceedings of the arbi-
tration board and expressed the belief
that the case was undoubtedly made
up in Cleveland in the interest OF the
operators. He concluded with the re-
mark: "Hold yourselves free to act,
but IL would os just TO strike Row."

sLEEr FOLLOWED SNOW.
Telegraph and Telephone Lines Badly
Crippled In Philadelphia.

Crippled in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA, December 2Z-The
sleet storm which followed last nights
fall of snow appears to have wrought
great damage TO telegraph and tele-
phone circuits within radius OF so
miles OF this city. The telegraph COM
panies are badly crippled on every cir
cult. Just outside the city limits, on
the western trunk route of the Western
Union Company, 13 poles are down in
one locality and further west five more
are Frustrated. On other routes almost
the same condition is reported.
The Postal Company reports wires
south, west and north in bad shape.
Southern New Jersey is cut of entirely.
The Long Distance Telephone Company
has 81 coles down in Camden alone, and
outside OF that city the condition is just
as bad. While the storm was severe at
Delaware Breakwater, no shipping dis
aster is reported. The only damage to
shipping In this harbor was that caused
by few vessels dragging their anchors
and banking against the wharves.
Snow ranging in depth from 4 to IS
inches covers Pennsylvania to-day, and
many localities report it is still coming
down.
DUBoIs-The snow storm which set
in about dusk last evening has contin-
ned without abatement This morning
the snow is still falling, and the ground
10 already covered to q depth OF 20
inches. The snow has seriously iCter-
fered with the bitumInous coal opera
tors, but the lumbermen are greatly
benefited by 1t, as they can get the
heavy lumber down the side OF the
mountain. Traffic on the Allegheny
railroad is practically at a stand still,
the snow having drifted to such a
depth In the mountain cuts that the
trains are snowbound. Travel on the
public highways is out Of the ques-
iion. Telegraph and telephone wires
are prostrated.
