Is it a bill for the constitutional

Not much.
Is 1t a tariff for deficiency only?
Not precisely. 1t will raise some
revenue.
Is it for protective TARIFF Well,
a sort OF protective tariff, but a
poor and cranky sort. McKinlev's
is much better, much more rational.

Taking revenue and antI-revenue

favoritisms, compounded to crafty

of the age.
The English language cannot be
used to expressed greater contempt.
There is really nothing more to be
said on the subject-anythlDg else
would be mere amplifcation.
There IS one deliberate expression
of opinion in the Sun article which
puts the truth so forcibly that it de-

One thing is much needed in
every state in the Union, and that
is good wagon roads. Money in
vested in this particular would pay
handsomely, and the two or more
million idle men in the republic
could be employed. Farmers need
these roads as much as they need
barns and machinery. The could
take double and treble the number
of bushels of grain to market and
not worry their teams as much as
they do now. The farmers could
be made to see this, and they with
the rest of the people would gladly
bear their portion of a state tax
necessary for the work. We should
have at least one great central high
way leading to and through the
principle cities of every county in
the states. This would solve the
problem of the unemployed and
give us wagon roads for all time
equal to the old Roman highways.

Fair City.
CHICAGO, Jan. S.-Fire started
IN the Casino, the great Western
building at the water entrance of
the Worlds Fair grounds, in Jack
son Park, about $50 o'clock this
evening. The flames spread rapidly
and soon had completed the work
of destruction in the Casino build
ing. 1t WAS but short leap for
the flames to the magnificent Peris-
tvle, as the row of lofty columns
and statuary forming the water en-
trance to the Worlds Fair grounds
was called Column after column,
made of ''staff" and wood, but hav-
ing the appearance of marble, fell
before the devouring element.
Each column DESTROYED brought
flames nearer Music Hall, which in
short time become ignited and
was destroyed. 1t was IN this build
ing that the Maryland and Virginia
Days celebrations were held.
FLYING brands carried the flames
to the great Manufacturers and
Liberal Arts Building, the largest
on the grounds, covering over thirty
acres of ground.
One-third of the roof the Manu-
facturers' Building fell about II
o'clock, and the firemen gave up
hope of saving the building from
total destruction. Twenty thou
sand cases of exhibits were in the
building.
The peristyle, with the Music
Hall and Casino at either end, was
the most imposing object seen by
the Worlds Fair visitor as he ap-
preached jackson Park from Lake
Michigan. In the centre and form

A ROAST BY CALDWELL.
Union Pacific Receivers Get tho Judges
Opinions.

OMAHA. March 3O-ln the hearing of
the Union Pacific wage schedule Master
Mechanic McCounell testified that the
rules proposed by tho receivers were
equitable and should have been adopted
long ago.
"Why Wcrc they not adopted long ago.
interrupted Judge Caldwell.
"Becausc we would have had trouble all
along the line" replied Mct 'onnell.
"Do you mean to say you came before
this court asking it 10 do something the
managers of the read never dared to do?'
asked Judge Caldwell.
Late the Judge referred 10 the fact that
one OF the receivers is a merchant in Chi
cagu. another a lawyer in New York. and
added: IL don't see why these receivers
should come into this court and ask
changes in rules they don't know anything
about. when it is conceded tho practical
men who managed the road did not dare
TO make the changes.
In the Union Pacific wage hearing this
afternoon McConnell's examination was
continued. He admitted that tho cut in
wages had been made without giving the
men proper notice. General Manager
Dickinson was put OH the stand and sub
jected to long and searching eSamina-
tion. lie admitted that the reduction in
wages had been ordered without sufficient
notice having been given the men. II was
made because the earnings of the road
had fallen oil and tho managers thought
something must be done. Dickinson adj
mitied that 1t Was tho intention TO make a
reduction in wages anyhow, although tho
receivership intervened and for time de-
layed the intended scaling down.
Oliver W. Mink, comptroller and one of
the receivers, followed Dickinson on the
stand. His testimony was in regard to
the financial condition of the road. lilo
said tho Union Pacific had not paid div
itlcnd in 10 years. There had been a de-
crease of $4,000 in the net earnings of
| 1873, from those Of 1882. Mink said the
report OF Governor pattison's conferccs
IN the investigation which placed the
| profit at Si3.0O0,0JD, was not correct.
Judge Caldwell said he would see that
| the employees were properly compensated
| and their wages would not be cut TO admit
| the payment of dividends.
Presidcn, Clark followed Mink. lie was
| on the stand but few moments. his
health being so feeble he cohld not stand
the strain. The examination threw but
| little or no light cu the question. In con,
cluslpn the court preenptorly ordered
| Clark TO takc vacation of several
months. "Iou shall not commit suicide

Caldwell. AVE need you and the country
needs you. For six months we will man

SAN Francisco. March D.-The ship
John {. Potter from Nanaimo, arrived in

Dawson and 70 of the crew OF the British
bark Archer. abandoned off Cape Flat
terry, March IS. The men tell story OF
almost incredible hardship aud thrilling
escape from the capsizcd bark, only after
great difficulty and danger.
Tho bark left Victoria March Il. After
leaving the strait heavy snow storm was
encountered. Tho main topsail was car
ried away. While the men were n!oft an
unusually violent squall struck the ship.
Tbo ballast shifted and the ship listed.
Tho men managed 10 reach the deck just
as the vessel was overwhelmed by a trc-
mendous sea, turning her over on broad
side.
Andrew Anderson. carpenter, and A. II.
Evans, seaman. were carried away and
drowned. Tho crew managed To cut
away tho weather lanyards and all the
masts went over the side. Tho mon sue
cceded in climbing outside and clung To
tho poop. Their position was one OF
fire broke out in the cabin. Tho ship
seemed also to be sinking. and IL APP
pcarcd is he question Of only as TO
whether the crew would first be overcome
ly fire or water.
Finally seaman Wilbur Roydcn was
lowered into the cabin and managed tn
put ont the fire. An attempt was made
io launch tho lifcboat. As the boat left
tho vessel four OF the crew sprang aboard,
leaving their unfortunate companions
hanging 10 the side of the wreck. With
much effort a life buoy was rugged 10 tho
log line and passed 10 tho lifcboat. by
hanging on TO tho buoy and springing into
the water tho men were one by one hauled
aboard tho boat. The snow squalls were
violent and much suffering was endured.
Only two oars were aboard the boat. For
tunaicly the ship John G.. Potter hove in
sight half an hour after their escape from
the vessel. " hich took tho men aboard
and brought them to this city.

With the coiored Poll-
tIclans OF That Land.

AUCKLAND. New leland. March 3o-The
steamship Alameda from Samoa brings
intelligence OF a serious uprising there. II
appears that Henry lde, the American
chief justice, under the joint protectorate
exercised over tile islands by the United
States, Great Britain and Germany, fined
and imprisoned the chiefs of rival factions
aud compelled them 10 work on the roads
like ordinary convicts. This angered the
natives, who finally broke out in armed
rebellion.
King Malletoa sided with tho chief jus
tice and sent troops TO put down the in
surrectiou, Several sharp encounters fol-
loved, in which - we're killed and 80
wounded, the rebels being driven into the
interior. Ii is claimed that Malietoa's
troops INDUCED in all sorts Of barharities
and atrocities, such as mutilating the
prisoners, bchoading the dead and out
raging women. This so inccnsed the
natives that n general uprising was threat-
eued. AT the time the Alameda left, the
foreign population was greatly alarmed.
