Gesa Berger, the actor and newspaper
man, has picture In oaligraphy that has
remarkable history. 1t Is In size 80 by
~ inches and is the work Of Joseph Locw
the most noted counterfoiter that the Aus
trian government ever know.
When an application Is made for par
don in Austria, the red tape policy of that
country compels the applicant to address
the emperor with all his titles Emperor
Ferdinand had about 40 titles. Locw en-
prayed all of these names, together with
his petition for pardon, ON cherry
stone.
The letters vyero so fine that 1t required
the aid OF powerful microscope to decl-
phor them. One day, when the emperor
visited the prison, Loew in person present
ed a cherry stone to the emperor and told
him what it contained. The emperor
made an examination and was SO amazed
at the work that he gave him an uncondi
tional pardon. Not only did he pardon
him, but gave him position as detect
i've TO trail down counterfeiters. Loew
was "a we'll informed man in all the arts
and rascalitios of counterfeiters, and in
less than two years after his pardon he ran
TO the earth almost every counterfeiter IN
Austria and died few years ago covered
with detective honors. The picture, al
though made 90 years ago, is in a remark

TO CLOSE THURSDAY.
TARIFF DEBATE IS NOW NEAR
ING ITS END.
The Bill is Quite Likely to Pass and
the Income Tax to Be
Adopted.
Special to the REcoRD-UN1ox.

opeclai 10 Jtle fLECORD-ONION.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The tariff de-
bate will close in the House next Thurs
day afternoon at o'clock, when a vote
will be taken on the pending amend
ments and final passage of the bill. The
debate during the coming week will re-
late entirely to the internal revenue bill
which the Democratic caucus decided to
place upon the tariff bill as a rider. The
principal opposition will be directed
against the income tax, which is being
bitterly opposed by Eastern Democrats.
The Republicans, however, will not vote
with their Democratic. opponents on the
income tax, but will either refrain from
voting, or else, ii necessary to make a
quorum, vote for it in order to incorpor-
ate it in the bill. The attempt to defeat
1t Will, therefore, be hopeless. The Re-
publicans have informally decided either
to refrain from voting or else vote against
the motion to recommit, but will vote
with the opposition against the passage of
the bill, or for motion to strike out the
enacting clause. 1t is believed that not
more than thirty Democrats will carry
their opposition to the extent of voting
directly against the bill. From present
indications the Democrats claim for the
bill majority of thirty or more. After
special order will be brought in for the
consideration of the Hawaiian matter on
Friday and Saturday. The McCreary
resolution will form the basis of a debate.
and while some very lively and pictur
esque speeches will probably be made, it
is expected that it will be passed practi-
cally by strict party vote.
Present indications are that the Federal
elections bill and Hawaiian question will
in large measure divide the attention of
the Senate this week: If the tariff bill
should pass the House according to the
programme of Thursday and be sent I'M
mediately to the Senate, nothing will
be done with it more than to refer it to
the Finance Committee, where it will
rest tor at least few weeks.
The Hawaiian question has the right of
way for the morning hour, and the cleo
tions bill after that time. The Hawaiian
discussion will be based upon the resOlu-
ton reported by Turpie from the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, and various
dentally be taken up. There are four
amendments proposed, one each by Man
derson, Dolph, Stewart and Gallinger,
and one substitute for that offered by the
Vest amendments. The first three Sena-
ators are very much in the same line and
recognize the present Government of
Hawaii without committing the Senate
to any proposition against annexation.
Dolph's amendment looks to the recall of
Minister Willis, and Vests substitute de-
clares unqualifiedly against annexation.
In case the Judiciary Committee makes
a report upon the Peckham nomination,
there is likely to be considerable time de-
voted to executive business.

BATH (Me.), Jan. 28.-One of the most
disastrous fires in the history of this city
broke out to-day in the Sagadahock
House stables. A large part of the busi-
ness portion of the city was Quilted, about
twenty buildings being destroyed. The
fire spread so rapidly that the department
was unable to cope with it, and calls for
assistance sent to Portland and Lewiston
brought steamers, and two hand engines
were sent from Brunswick. The fire
communicated to the hotel from the
stable and the house was quickly gutted.
Adjoining buildings were soon in flames,

million dollars worth of property was
destroyed; The following are heaviest

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2S.-A car on the
San Francisco and San Mateo Electric
Road jumped the track while rounding
the curve at Thirtieth street Saturday
evening, after running away down the
hill, and crushed into a trolley pole.
Nearly score of passengers were more
or less injured. The victims of the acci-
dent are all doing well, and it is highly
probable that no fatalities will result.
The most seriously injured are Eugene
O'Neill, foreman of the company's
power-house, and all eighteen-year- old
lad named David Vallerino. The former
suffers from a fracture at the back of the
skull. He regained consciousness to-
day, and the surgeon says he is in fair
way to recover. Five other victims are

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2S.-The stern
wheel steamer Caroline collided with the
American bark G. d. Bryant during the
fog yesterday morning. The steamer
was going very slowly at the time and
consequently only slight damage to her
own stern resulted from the collision.
During the thick fog which enveloped
the bay Saturday morning a collision oc-
Cured between. the Sausalito steamer,
San Rafael, and the Portland steamer,
Columbia. The latter was being shifted
by towboat, and about o'clock ran
into the San Rafael, which was coming to
the city. The Columbia struck the
Sausalito boat under the paddle wheel,
but did not inflict any material damage.
The collision created small-sized panic
among the passengers on the San Rafael,
which quickly subsided when it became
known the steamer was in no danger.

Not Much Money, But He Has Plenty
of Political Influence.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 2S.-As Ex-Governor
CampbelPs paper has gone to protest re-
peatedly here and in his old home
in Hamilton, as well as in Columbus and
in the East, the report of his assignment
created no surprise in this city. 1t is inn
possible to confirm the report here or at
Hamilton. 1t is well-known that Senator
Brice and John r. Mclean of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer are among Campbells
largest creditors, and that he has had
political as well as other differences with
both. Among the reports is one to the
effect that Brice does not want to stand
for reelection next year and Mclean
will be pressed for the Senate in this con-
nec,ion. The talk about Campbell pre-
pairing to run for Governor next year is
regarded as intended to affect Brice and
McLean's efforts for settlement, as we'll
as the political programme.
Campbell's real estate and manufactur-
ing interests at Hamilton are all gone
and friends say he is not returning there
for business, and although generally con-
sidered bankrupt, he is conceded to have
more political influence than any other
man in his party in the State, and though
he could break even the Brice- Mclean
combine, he is crowded on paper which
they have failed to realize on for over
five wears.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28.-An even
dozen of men and one woman are in the
City Prison as the result of a police
roundup at the Midwinter Fair grounds
on opening day. All but one man and
the woman are Eastern pickpockets
whom Eastern police officials warned
Chief CrowIey's men to be on the look
out for. The woman under arrest is Mrs.
Emma Taylor, known here as very
clever thief. She was caught with man
named Fred Taylor in the act of pocket
picking. This woman some three or four
years ago was a constant attendant at
funerals and always dressed in deep
mourning. She became known as "The
Woman in Black"
Many times she eluded the police, but
at the funeral of Bishop Kip she was
caught with her hand in woman's
pocket by detective who was there
specially to watch the woman in black.
For this she received ten months SEN
tence.
Among others is Willie or John Low
ell, 10 years old, well-known to the police
of st. Paul as pickpocket. Another is
John Pickett, local celebrity, who is
said to have stolen $4,000 during his So
journ at the Worlds Fair.

SWEEPING REDUCTION OF WAGES.
Judge Dundy Orders 1t On the Union
Pacific System.

Judge Ounuy orders lG On the Union
Pacific System.
OMAHA, Jan. 2S.-The Union Pacific
labor circles were stirred to the utmost
depths to-day when the order of Judge
Dundy reducing wages on the system
was made known. All the employees in
every department are affected by the cut.
which amounts to nearly 10 per cent.
Judge Dundy not only enjoined the men
from striking, but cut the pay and or
dered them TO work on at the reduced
pay. By the proposed schedule the wages
paid engineers, fremen, hostlers and
wlpers Will be reduced sixty-hundredths
cents per mile, and in Nebraska on
tralnmen the cut is from So to Sl5 per
month, conductors suffering least and
brakemen most. When the amount of
the reduction cannot be taken from the
monthly salary a reduction in mileage
allowance is made sufficient to cover the
equivalent of the cut on stated salaries.
On all but three divisions or districts, the
sixth Wyoming district, Shoshone and
Nampa, mixed trains, and Nebraska pas
senger division the cut on the trainmen
runs as high rs in Nebraska, and on some
mountain divisions the reduction in
mileage will amount TO considerable
more than S. to Sl5 per month.
The schedule is very carefully prepared,
covering everything that could be con-
sidered portion OF a brakeman's or con-
ductor's work and specifying what he
shall receive for the same. Telegraph
operators are remembered in the petition,
and while no schedule is fixed, it is
agreed that S45 shall be the minimum
wages per month paid in Nebraska and
Kansas, with a proportionately larger
minimum west. The average reduction
is 5.4l per cent, the average reduction
per man is So %. The concluding por-
tion of the petition calls the courts at
tention to the matter of strikes which
might result from the adoption OF the
schedule, and calls upon the bench to
protect the road against any overt acts
that might be brought about by agitators
and others not sufficiently acquainted
with the terms of the new schedule which
seeks to equalize salaries. Judge Thurs
ton left to-day by special train for Chey-
enpe, where he will ask Judge Riner on
Monday to concur in the order of Judge
Dundy, and thence to Denver to see
Judge Ballet, cOntirmatory orders hav-
ing been prepared for the States trayersed
