HILLS FIGHT ON PECkHAM.
There Is a Prospect Now That He
Will Lose 1t.

WA sHINGToN, Feb. 1.-THE opponents
of Peckham for Supreme Court Justice
claim that he will be de eated for cODflr-
nation in the Senate by four to six major
ity. The vote is to be taken in executive
session tomorrow.
The case was the chief subject Of dsc1s-
sion in the Capitol to-day. Senator Hill
keeps up an air of assurance. but the I'M
preston is growing more and more general
that he is simply "blufing." The most
judicial observers are admitting to-day
that the chances look strongly adverse to
HnPs case. One of the many signs accu-
mulatlng against HIPS success Is the des-
perate extremes to which he has been
driven in seeking ammunition for his
fight. He is now complaining that the
President has made a domestic as well as
social issue of the Peckham case. He says
Mrs. Cleveland is inviting the wives of
doubtful Senators to the White House and
showing them all attentions. The cjrcu-
lation of this kind of report operates as a
boomerang, and it has done more damage
to HiiPs cause than the President could
possibly have done If he stopped to the
measures Of which he is accused, for there
is strong sentiment in the Senate against
the indignitv Of dragging. names and the
conduct of women into political quarrels.
1t has already opened the eyes of more
than one man who has hitherto considered
il possible that the senior Senator from
New I ork is an injured man.

Yellow Jack Raging in

AMERICAN SAILORS SICK.
Only Merchant Ships Have Yet

Admiral Benham Will Take Care

NEW YORK. Feb. 14.-The Worlds cor

Yellow fever has invaded the American
merchant ships which have entered this
port and are lying at Gamboa docks. So
virulent is the disease and so rapid is Its
spread that many members of the crews
OF those ships are already dead. while
others are desperately i'll.
On account of the continued spread and

The Herald's Rio .Janeiro correspondent
cables: President Peixoto's Government
has been Informed of the formation of
plot to bring about the secession OF the
State of Pernambnco from the rest of the
republic. PeiXOtO has accordingly ordered
General Castro Leite, who is in command
OF the regular troops in that State, to arrest
the Governor at the first sign OF rebellion.
A decided disloyalty toward PeiXoto's
Government manifested itself In the city
of Pernambuco during the early part of
the present rebellion, and in consequences
the city was declared to be in a state of
siege.
Ii half the reports which have been COM
ing from there ever since of the dislike
which The civilians entertain of soldier

no surprise.
The Governor of Pernam buco is Senior

It lie even said that the fleet has been

the fact that the insurgents in RIO Bay

DOWN Go THE LORDS.
Sir William Vernon HarcOurt
Would Destroy Them.
Give Them Rope Enough and Let
Them Hang Themselves
In 1t.

PORTSMOUTH, Feb. 14.-The National
Liberal Federation continued its meeting
to-day. 1t indorsed the Newcastle pro-
gramme and unanimously adopted a
resolution TO the effect that tha hahitual
disregard of the national will by the House
of Lords was an intolerable abuse, and
assuring the Ministry of its enthusiastic
support for whatever measures were
adopted to secure TO the Commons para
mount authority. In the speeches on the
resolution the Lords were denounced as a
fraudulent company. using their political
position for their own pecuniary interest.
and that what the people wanted was, first,
a quarrel with and then the destract on of
their great enemy.
at an enormous meeting in the drill
hall tonight Sir William Harcourt, Chan
cellor of the Exehequer. ridiculed Joseph
Chamberlain's idea of tional party as
impractieable. Referring to the position
of the House of Lords, he said Lord Sails
bury had thrown down the gage Of battle
and they could not shrink from the fight.
The audience here rose in body. cheering
and frantlcally waving hats and handker-
biefs.
Sir William went on: I'VE have to face
probab bly, the rashest and most reckless
leader that ever headed the Tory party.
So extreme have been bis counsels that even
his own followers have shrunk from his
violence. The work in the House
of Lords during the last fortnight
had marveIously opened the eyes of the
public. We will give them rope enough"
the speaker exclaimed. LET us have q
few more such fortnights. Let it be burnt
into the minds of the country that the
Lords have become the champions Of all
abuses and the enemies of all reforms.
Let them maui and mangle. When the
cup is fullest aud the time is ripe the YER
dict. of the peorle will determine, once
for all, whether what Lord Russell calls
the whisper of fashion is to prevail over
the will of the people"
Loud and prolonged cheers were given
Sir William when he finished his speech.

FIRE AT THE FAIR.
1t Would Appear That the White City

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-A fire broke out at
the Worlds Fair to-day. When first dis

columns of the colonnade which connects
the Machinery Hall and the Agricultural
building, and very near the point in the
Agricultural building where the last fire
occurred. 1t had made considerable head
way before the first engiue arrived and
was threatening the buildings at either end
which connect it with the larger struc-
lures. A second alarm calling for more
engines was sent out. but the snow drifts
on the route to the spot prevented the Fire
Department from making speed, the flames
meantime making headway against the
inadequate force at work.
The fire was under control at 2:30. Be-

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. - The Sen ate
Committee on Foreign Relations held a
meeting to-day. Chairman Morgan stated
that he bad begun the preparation of the
report upon the Hawaiian Investigation,
and asked for a meeting Of tbs sub-com-
mittee having the subject under considera-
tion on Saturday. The testimony will not
be made public until the report is agreed
upon. and possibly not until it is presented
to the Senate. A mem ber of the commit

meetings, said there would be very great
disappointment over the testimony when
printed among those who have expected it
to reveal many important matters.
The report will hardly be entirely salts

THE SON OF A COMMUNIST.
He Came From London With His
ACcOmpliCes.
MEDlTATED MANY oUTRAGEs,
And the Police Believe That the
Others Will Be Heard
From Yet.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE police say 1t has
been definitely established at the Hotel
Terminus that the bomb-thrOwer's name
is Emile Henry. He was born at BARGE
Iona, Srain, twenty-five years ago, of
French parents. He has been in Paris
since the middle of January. coming from
London.
Henry remarked to-day that he alone
was responsible for the explosion in the
cafe, and that Valiant was child to put
nails in his bomb TO blow up the bourgeois.
There was better material than that. and
hewas surprised that his bomb did not
have more effect. Henry is guarded by
two detectives, who have instructions, ac-
cording to the French custom. TO endeayor
to induce the prisoner TO talk.
1t is reported that the prefect has re-
ceived advices from the police of London
that the explosion at the Hotel Terminus
was only part of scheme which Henry
and his companions had arranged before
leaving London. 1t was their intention to
commit as many outrages as possible, and
it is believed that the prisoners associates
will be heard from before long. The
prisoner, according to the police, undoubt-
edly came from London in company with
three other anarchists. and the London
police assert the belief that Henry and
his accom- plices had planned terrible
explosion in the Paris Opera-house. which
was to include the cutting off of the gas
| supply.
A dispatch from Algiers says that an
anarchist manifesto, dated London, has
been found there, containing threats to
assassinate President Carnot

HOUSE DEMOCRATS OBJECT.
They Want the Bill as They
Passed 1t.
SOME STATISTICS ABOUT WOOL.
Chief Statistician Worthington Ford
Comes NObiy to the Rescue of
the Administration.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.-The tariff sub
committee of the Senate Committee on
Finance was in conference to-day with the
other Democratic members. The confer
ence was devoted to the report upon prog
ress made by the subcommittee on the
tariff Dill and to general discussion Of
the disputed points. such as sugar, coal,
iron ore. lead ore. the income tax and the
whisky tax. Developments indicate that
the House bill will be disturbed in as few
particulars as possible. The Ways and
Means Committee is urging this course,
and assert if the bill is radically changed
it will be imperiled in the House. While
none of the important questions In dis
pute were decided beyond irrevocable
change. some of them were passed upon
tentatively. The decision was 10 extend
the bonded period on whisky and increase
the tax 30 81 20 per gallon; put duty on
coal and leave the iron sch hedule as it is.
The question of the sugar duty was left
unsettled.
Chairman Voorhees, authorizes the state
ported by Tuesday.
In answer to the resolution Of Congress,
Worthington c. Ford, chief of the Bureau
u,
sent that body to-day an elaborate report
upon wool and manufactures of wool"
1t says:
The increase in production in foreign
countries, especially In Australia, South
America and Africa, has been far greater
than in the United States. While the
American clip has trebed since 1850. the
Australian clip has increased tenfold, that
of South America ninefold, and that of
South Africa ivefold."
The report shows thatthe year 1892 gave
the wool-producing interests, even In the
most favored countries, as Australia. a
setback. 1t says: THAT the sheep-raising
interests of the world are passing through
period of depression is not to be denied.
Low prices for woods have reacted upon
production by reducing the profits derived
from wools and diminishing the tempta-
! tiGn to extend production. Were this de-
preston local, local remedies would apply !;
but 1t is general and affects those couu-
tries where the advantages for sheep-rais-
| ing excel, as well as those where WOOL
growing is secondary matter, even by
product rather than by industry"
10 conclusion Ford sets forth numerous
propositions resultant from his observa-
tions: No commercial and Industrial ma
ton can adequately supply itself with
wool; no other nation of commercial or in
dustrial importance imposes as high duties
on wool and woolens as the United States :;
no legislation short of prohibition can
maintain prices in the face of an increase
in the worlds supply of wool; free entry
Of foreign woods has not destroyed the
sheep industry in other countries; WOOL
raising is con troIled by the same economic
conditions as other interests. and the pres
ent depression in the wool industry is
| general, not local.

STRUGGLING FOR LIFE
Desperate Straits of the Union
Pacific Railroad.
Attorney Thurston Does Not Think
the Company Should Be Held
to Losing Contracts.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 14-Johu G. Corwin,
special Government counsel, and John
Thurston. attorney for the receivers of the
Union Pacific Railway, arrived here to-
day from Omaha and presented Judge
Caldwell of the United States Circuit
Court petitions for relief from the recent
orders made by United States Judges
Haliett and Riner. Briefs were already
prepared. They are voluminous docu-
ments. principally exhibits. In effect the
attorneys seek to couple the interests of
the Government and the bondholders and
secure orders which will enable the
receivers to run the system in it's own
interest rather than that of the benefi.
cisres of tbe contracts made before the
receivers took hold.
The TWO leading features of the case as
brought up here will be the Julesburg
cutoff and the wage scale. Thurston said
the traffic arrangement of the Union Pa
cifc with the Union Pacific Denver and
Gulf, whereby the former was obliged to
run over the Julesburg branch, was a
contract which cost the Union Pacific
81. .O00, 900 year and deficit yearly of the
Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf. Thurs
ton stated he was of the opinion the traffic
arrangement made by the former officials
of the road was not binding with the re-
ceivers and he was here in the hope OF
getting a decision to that effect from Judge
Caldwell.
Thurston also holds that the wage sched.
ule made by former officials of the road
was not binding upon the receivers. his
opinion having been sustained by the Cir
cult Courts of Nebraska and Oregon, and
he will try to get that contract overthrown
or modified.
Nothing was done to-day in the case be-
yond calling upon Judge Caldwell and
asking him to set day for the hearing.
DENVER, Feb. 14-Judge Hallet left
to-day for the Pacific Coast. and will be
gone for some weeks. This means there
is to be no change in the Union Pacific and
Gulf situation for some time to come.
Nothing has been heard at this end of the
the proceedings In appeal by the Union
Pacific receivers, but the belief is held
that whatever legal steps may be taken,
the Gulf aud Uuion Pacific people will n OF
await their issue, but will get together and
compromise their differences, including
that with the labor unions.
WASHINGTON. Feb. a. - The Senate
committee on Pacific railroads continued

discussion of the House bill compelling the
Rock Island Railroad Company to stop its
trains at the new towns of Enid and Round

attention, as some of The Democratic
