The Past Week showed slight Improve.
ment but Nothing to Brag About.
New YORK, Jan. 20.-Dun's Weekly
Review of Trade says:
The event of the week Is the offer of $4,000,
600 United States per cent ten-y year bonds
The immediate effects were not great though
it is hoped improvement in industry may
be FASTENED. While industrial improvement
continues the gain is slow and increase in the
purchasing power of the people by enlargement
of the force at work is in measure counter
balanced by the loss in purchasing power Of
the people through reduction in wages plid
During the past week dispatches have told OF
reductions averaging - per cent in fifteen iron
and eel works, and averaging l51s per cent
in eleven textile works, five employing thou
sands of hands, each having reduced wages 20
per cent. Meanwhile twenty five textile and
eleven iron and steel concerns resumed wholly
or in part against seventeen textile and four
iron concerns stopping or reducing force The
volume OF business done has increased in lead.
ing branches but not largely. Textile works
resuming are mostly calico goods concerns,
with some worsted works Sales of wool this
week have been 3 $50 10 pounds, against 60S2 =
BIZ last year. and the proportion since January
has been about the same
Though more mills are at work and they re-
port more buying, prices, nevertheless. decline
so that sales at Boston are about q cent below
prices asked two weeks ago Lowell Brussels
carpets have been reduced cents: the demand
for wooden goods increases, but is very small,
and is largely confined TO goods OF low cost but
known repute for Qualit., and trade in dress
goods is decreasing.

Shocking Crime Discovered Near Chero-
kee, Kan.
CHEROKEE, Kan, Jan. 20.-Reuben
Allison, 81 years old, eccentric, miserly
and reputed to have had much money
boarded and hidden in the house in
which he lived alone near this city,
was discovered by neighbors dead upon
the floor of his home. He was un.
doubtedly murdered.
Mr.. Allison was farmer and wealthy.
He was never known to have deposited
money in banks, and he had been
robbed four times within the past few
years About year ago he was found
in his cellar, bound and gagged and
his house robbed of money.
He was last seen alive Tuesday,
January 16, and when he failed to APP
pear Wednesday the neighbors grew
suspicious that he had been robbed
again. Last evening they forced an en-
trance to his house and found him lying
dead on the floor of back room. His
face was covered with an old sack. He
had received two bullet wounds, one in
the face, the other in the body, pass
ing through it near the heart.
A small pistol was grasped in his left
hand, one chamber of which was
empty. There were no evidence of a
struggle.
The house had been thoroughly ran
sacked, and drawers and boxes had
been searched. Even the pockets o.
the dead mans clothing had beer
turned outward and everything o.
value taken.
The news of the murder caused tn.
greatest excitement in this city, ant
hundreds visited the scene of the
crime. Several persons are under sus
nieion

Meeting of q Majority of the Committe
A Minority Plan.

Meeting of q Majority of the Committee
A Minority Plan.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.-There was a
meeting yesterday afternoon of the
democratic members of the ways and
means committee, Representatives Nc
MILAN, Whiting, Tarsney, Turner,
Bynum and Bryan being present. Mr..
Wilson was detained by illness in his
family, The internal revenue tax
bill was again considered, but the
meeting was entirely informal and no
votes were taken
The bill will be reported to the housA
probably Tuesday morning. Members
of the minority in favor of making the
bill part of the pending tariff bill say
an amendment will be offered soo1l
after the bill is placed upon the calen,
dar to have it considered at once as q \
anne ndment
This motion will probably be made
by Mr.. McMillin, chairman of tn. Sub
committee which drafted the bill.
These plans may be overthrown at an y
time. either by the act of the demo-
cratic members who are opposed to an
income tax, and who may vote
with the republicans and defeat the
measure in full committee or by the
refusal of Chairman Richardson to
recognize the representatives of the
democratic minority mem bers, when
he attempts to have the bill taken
from the calendar and considered as an
amendment

Nine Men Perish In a Slide In the British
Columbia Rocky Mountains.
WINNIPEG, Man, Jan. 20-Word has
been received here that l.. Dolan, of
this city, and a party of nine men per-
ished in an avalanche in the Rocky
mountains. Nearly all the members of
the party were from this city, but the
names are not as yet learned. The
party left Three Forks, B. c., a
fortnight ago for Bear Creek, near
Fort Steel, where they intended
to open a mine. Shortly after they
left one of those Beavy snow storms
peculiar to mountainous regions
came on and was followed the next
day by thaw and a rain, causing
snow slides in all directions. 1t would
only take the party three days to get
to their destination and they only had
provision for that length of time. As
they have not arrived at their destina-
ton or It any intervening places there
is little doubt that the party persisted
in some of the mountain passes.

Injunction Proceedings.
WASHINGTON Jan. 20.-The Baltimore
dispatch announcing a threatened in
junction by the Knights of Labor
against Secretary Carlisle to restrain
him from issuing $50, 100000 in bonds,
as contemplated by him, was taken to
the treasury department and shown
to the secretary. Mr.. Carlisle merely
read the dispatch, but declined to say
anything whatever for publication.
officers of the department to whom
the dispatch was shown were not sur
prised on learning its contents. The
feeling of the Knights of Labor, and
labor unions generally, on the bond
question, was known to be unfavor-
able, as had been shown by the passage
of resolutions against it The officials
were a unit in the opinion the secre-
tary had nothing more than tenn
porary delay to fear if the injunction
was procured, and even this they did
not think in the least degree probable.
The secretary consulted the attorney
general and the president before issu-
ing the bond call
The populists of the house knew
nothing about the injunction against
the bond issue. Jerry Simpson. of
Kansas, says he will have no hand in
it, but would be glad if it were true.
Representative Culberson, of Texas,
says there is no doubt of the power of
the secretary to issue bonds for the
purposes of the resumption act The
opinion among the lawyers of the
house is the proceedings would have no
standing in the courts.

Another Train Robbery Near St Joseph,
Mo.-Tbe Old Gang at Work.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, jan. 1S-North-
bound train No. 3 on the Kansas City,
st. Joseph & Council Bluffs railway
was held up at 1910 this morning by
three masked men at Roy's Branch,
two and one-half miles north of the
city.
The train was brought to stop by
the display of red lantern and the
explosion of torpedoes on the track.
The engineer and fremen were then
ordered out, and they obeyed at the
point of the pistol.
Express Messenger c. E. Baxter was
told to open the safe, and after refusing
and being threatened with instant
death he complied. The robbers took
the contents of the safe down to the
smallest scrap of paper, piled every
thing into an old -four sack and left
the car. They did not modest the pas
sengers or take anything from the ex-
press car beyond the contents of the
safe.
After completing their work they
forced the train hands to line up beside
the track and the robbers made their
escape, running westward into a viii
low thiclet Several shots were fired,
but no one was struck.
The robbery occurred in exactly the
same place as the attempted robbery,
in which two men were killed Septem-
Der % last, and was accomplished in
about the same way Officers have nc
clew to the robbers identity, and there
are no traces left behind.
No information can be obtained as
to the contents of the safe, although il
is thought there were several valuab bic
packages
