BELL TELEPHONE STOCK.
Company Wants to Increase 1t by
$3O.OOO.OOO.


Boston, JAN 90, 1S94.-The announcement
made Sunday that the Bell Telephone Com
pany contemplated asking the Legislature
for an increase of its capital stock by $780,
900, 900 bears substantial confirm alton by the
admission from Ex-Governor Long, counsel
for the company in the matter, that while
be could not say what the amount asked
for would be, he should say that the
company would certainly require at least
double its present capital, which is $50, ,000,-
900. Governor Long said:-"I cannot at
this time say Just what the amount will be,
for we are now simply deciding that very
matter. There is nothing upon which to base
the story that the company desires the extra
capital to protect itself against other patents
or for the absorption of other companies
The Bell Telephone Company has been in
terested in a large number of other COM
panies all over the country in which it holds
shares of stock 1t has grown SO that it has
interests in, think, every state of the Union,
and they all centre right here in Boston. 1t
is simply case of the head getting too large
for the hat it wears, and the necessity of in
creasing the size,
The only thing for which the Bell Com
pany asks this increase of capital is to en-
able it to meet the growth and development
of its business. Its purpose is simply to ask
for such increase of the capital stock as will
enable it to carry on its enlarged business.
There is not the remotest purpose of any
stock entering in this petition. l think that
the standing of the men at the head of
the company ought to be a guarantee
of that. 1t is just as in the case
of the railroad investments and
their growth in the last twenty years which
has required them to increase their capital
stock They find now that the original capi-
tai of $20,000.000 is not sufficient
to furnish the enormous force re-
quired to carry on the volume of
business with which it is burdened. The
only purpose we have in this matter is to
meet our business, and all the Legislature
will want to know is whether the business
warrants the increase, and that the company
will be prepared to show them

Bu cable to the United Pres.

PARIS, Jan. 80, 1S94.-A report was circu-
lation last night that Auguste Valiant, the

ing the bomb in the Chamber of Deputies
would be taken to the guillotine this morn
ing Early last night crowd began to
gather in the vicinity of the Place de la

pressed when it was learned this morning

day.
The Petit Journal says that the Govern
ment intends to make sweeping arrests of
Anarchists, and to detain them in prison un-
til after Valiant is executed.

No Report of Minister Smythe's Ace

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90, 1S94.-No informa-
ton has reached the State Department, ac-
cording to the officials there, of the reported
action of Smythe, the United States
Minister to Hayti, in sending the Haytien
President an official document, telling
him how the black republic should be con-
Quoted. Mr.. Smythe's recall, it is intimated,
will be matter of quick accomplishment il
the report should prove true. When
Mr.. Smythe was appointed Minister
he was given instructions to begin
negotiations for the requirement of St.
Nicholas Hole as a coaling station for
United States naval vessels, but it is
said that newspaper publication of the
matter at the time caused the
abandonment of the idea for the time being,
and the State Department is anxious to hear
whether the report of Mr.. Smyth's alleged
interference in Haytien affairs be trt1e,
believing that if it is the aequire-
ment Of the role is something for
the very remote future. Mr.. Smythe is the
first white man ever sent to Hayti as United
States Minister. He was the editor of the
Headlight. weekly newspaper pablished at
Pocohontas, Va He is one of the few Ameri-
can diplomatic officers who wear uniform

ANARCHISTS RIOT.
Bu Cable to the united Press.

ZURICH, Jan. 90, 1s94-A body of Anar-
chists, some of whom carried red and black
flags, made a demonstration today in
front of the italian Consulate in this
city. The object of the Anarchists was
to show their sympathy with the Sicilians
in their revolutionary movement against the
communal and other Italian authorities.
The flag bearers, after waving them
for time in front of the building
occupied by the Consul, affixed them
beside the Consular escutcheon over
the doorway of the Consulate. The police
obnoxious flags This action provoked
a riot, and the anarchists became SO
enraged that the police found it neces-
sary to charge them with drawn
swords. About twenty of the rioters were
wounded before the mob was put to fight.
Seventeen of those who had acted as leaders
in the demonstration were placed under
arrest. s.

THE STRIKING MINERS.
Gathering I'm Mansfield. But Police
Control Them.

MANSFIELD, Pa, JAM 30, 1S94.-SheriH
Richards has started for Bridgeyille, where
he will serve a number of warrants for the
arrest of rioters.
Armstrong; Woodville mine started at
nine O'clock this morning with non-unlon
men under the protection of the deputy
sheriffs An attempt will be made to start
other mines during the day.
A mass meeting of the striking miners Will
be held at Mansfield this afternoon, the OBJ
ject of which is not yet known. A large
force of deputies will also attend
the meeting, prepared to suppress any law
lessnesSin in its incipiency.
Sheriff Cherry of Washington county Is at
Mcdonald with force of deputies, and is
now in communication with Deputy Lowry,
who is in charge of the Allegheny county
deputies, harmonizing the movements OF the
forces for the two counties. 1t is reported that
the 1850 strikers on the Montour Railroad,
are assembling at Imperial and will march
cross the country, six miles, to attend the
mass meeting at Mansfield. All of these men
are said to be foreigners, who are rallying to
the aid of the riotous element in the Mans
field Valley. The report, as yet, lacks con
firmation. Deputy Sheriffs Pasco and
Young, with five men, went to Toms Run
mine early this morning, and effected the
arrest of twenty two participants in Satur-
days riots. Only one of the men offered
resistance.
Mansfield is rapidly filling up with for
eigners of all types and nationalities,
many of whom wear red mufflers around
their necks and give other manifestations OF
anarchists
Reports by telegraph from the Dringeville,
Essen and the Bea ding mines show
that all is quiet. These are the
places where trouble was most feared last
night, and at which special forces of
deputies were stationed. None of the mad
threats of the rioters were attempted to be
put into execution at these points, and if
there had been the perfect organization of
the deputies, reinforced by the
Citizens Guard would have made
short work of the horde. Deputies are
still guarding the various mines, but no
trouble is expected today. Special pre-
cautions were taken this morning while the
miners were assembling for work, lest they
be attacked by the miners.

John Sloan Wants Out.

Application was made yesterday
morning to Justice Brewer in
chambers by the attorneys Of John
Sloan, the half-breed wife murderer,
for a writ OF habeas corpus. The
application was denied by mis- honor
ON the ground that the indictment
was regular upon it's face, and sug-
gested that the only remaining rem
edy for the defendant WAS an eappli-
cation for Il writ of error from the
Judgment of the, circuit court Of this
district.
The defendant, John Sloan. who is
a half breed, was indicted for the
murder of his wife at his home near
Rice river. on the White Earth reser-
walton, and was brought to trial
under the Indictment in the United
States circuit court of this district
at the last January term, and was
found guilty. His attorneys have
been fighting the case from
start to finish with a great deal ot
vigor. The first step was a move
for an arrest of Judgment, which
was denied. 1t is probable that a

Public Spirited Concern.

Minneapolis Lumbermen: The cit
liens of Little Falls, Mimi, have
good reason to congratulate them
selves that they have such an enter
prising and public spirited concern
in their city as the Pine Tree Lum-
Der company. There are a good
many unemployed men in that
town; and at a meeting of the direc-
tors Of the Pine Tree Lumber COM
pany last week, it was decided to
operate the East side mill OF the COM
pany. this season, which has to the
present time remained idle. It was
not intended at the opening of the
saving season to operate this mill
as 1t could not be run profitably.
Owing to the number of idle men it
was decided to run it, however, to
give them employment and the big
mill Of the company will be run
nights also. Only residents Of Little
Falls, will be employed i'll the min.
This action on the part OF the Pine
Tree Lumber company is deserving
OF commentator, and is one well
worth imitation on the part of other
mill men whose mills wholly, or in
part, are idle this season.
