The Phenomenon Very Brilliant Ono
Thursday Night.
CINCINNATI, Feb 23.-''Where is the
big fire?" and like questions were
heard on all sides shortly before 10
o'clock Thursday night, as people on
the streets gazed to the north and be-
held the darkness of the night dis
solved by a brilliant crimson arch
which began away off in the east and
ended on Price Hill. Conjecture was
rife, and the telephone was used as
siduously, but with no success. The
curious next appealed to the fire de-
partment, but were told that no alarm
had been turned in.
At $3.50 o'clock the entire north be-
came as crimson as though lighted by
huge fire, which itself was invisible.
Below the crimson arch the flaring
yellow would cause one to believe that
the sun had but recently set were it not
for the fact that the illumination was
in the north.
Gradually it moved westward, fur.
ther and further, until at last it faded
away over the western hills. The phe-
nomenon, for such it was, was a very
brilliant one. and of the kind which is
witnessed during different seasons OF
each year-the aurora borealis.

Mr.. Reed, of Maine moved to dis
charge the members under arrest upon

the motion, when the yeas and nays
were ordered. The democrats objected
to the word unauthorized. The roll
call also resulted in the defeat Of the
motion.
The democrats will propose and pass

reason, unless possibly that the ar
rested members are here and discharg-

"Do you know what is going to hap
pen if this disgraceful proceeding in

Bland, the free coinage advocate, who
has been trying to get a quorum OF the

WASHINGTON, Feb y4-A petition

call another caucus of democrats. The
New York members who, after the last
caucus, announced they would not ac.

In CHICAGO.
Americans Honor the Memory OF
George Washington.
A Monster ovation to Gov. Mckinley, OF
Ohio--lIc speaks at Three Different
Celebrations the Chicago Pub
lie Schools Participate.

CHICAGO, Feb 23.-As social func-
tion the banquet at the Union League
slub that followed the patriotic exer-
cises in the Auditorium eclipsed it,
predecessors in brilliancy.
Covers were laid for 500 guests in tho
main banqueting chamber, which was
decorated with flags of all nations and,
through profusion Of growing flow
ers, palms, plants and exotics, convert
ed into a literal conservatory. The
guests sat down at 2 o'clock, and for
the two hours following strict atten-
ton was riven to the discussion of the
menu.
With the advent of the coffee, Pres.
ident Wilson raped for order, and the
toast list was inaugurated in this wise:
Gov. Mckinley: Washington is the
mightiest name on earth. Lincoln.
John S. Wise. New York: ''The due
administration of justice is the firmest
pillar of good government"
Associate Justice David ]. Brewer,
Washington: lessons from Washing
tons farewell address"
Bishop Charles ii. Fowler, Min
nesota: "The name of America must
always exalt the just pride of patriot
ism."
William j. Bryan, Nebraska: "Patri-
otism."
Every public school in the city par
ticipated Thursday morning in the
patriotic exercises commemorative of
George Washington. In some in
stances several schools combined
and the exercises were held in
one school building, but this sim.
ply served to swell the numbers and
enthusiasm of those who attended.
The celebrations were given under
the direction of the Union League
club, which, in many instances, fur
nished the orators for the occasion,
sending its members to address the
pupils on the patriotic subject of the
day. The Union league also furnished
a list of patriotic musical selections,
and from the same source each pupil
was provided with a small American
flag. The exercises were q complete
success
Gov. Mckinley was the guest Of the
University of Chicago for brief half
hour Thursday morning. When the
Ohio governor appeared, arm in arm
with President w. R Harper, it seemed
as though Bedlam had broken loose.
Cheers and counter cheers, college yells
and class yells and the piping voices OF
the girl students, while they waved
their handkerchiefs in unison, all COM
bined to make splendid but withal
noisy ovation.
After the singing of patriotic selec-
tions, Gov. Mckinley spoke for five
minutes on ''the hatchet story" deal
ing with that much-told-of and much.
written-of alleged incident in the life
of Washington in a half humorous,
half-serious vein, especially dwelling
on the moral sought to be conveyed, re-
garding the necessity of absolute truth
and veracity in all the relations of life.

MORE BONDS.
In Order to Make Up a Deficiency
Another Issue Is Needed.
The Tarin Bill VIII Probably Not become
Law Before July, and within Three
Months the Calls on tho Reserve
Fund Will he Going On.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-If the taritl
bill does not 60 into law before Juno
and there are very few well-informed
men in congress who believe that II
will become a law before July-another
bond issue is certain. The expenses
are exceeding the income by some mill
lions per week; and If Secretary Car.
Isle carries out his announced inten.
ton of paying Uncle Sans bill, it will
be necessary to have another bond is-
sue inside Of two months.
When the money from the sales OF
the four per cent issue of the 1st. inst.
began to arrive at the treasury depart
ment there really existed a deficit Of
over $4O,00o,000 The 500, 900, 600 Of
gold reserve had deprecated gradually
until it had come down into the seventy
odd million point, and was fast reeach-
ing sixty millions. There were cur
rent bills of the treasury depart
ment overdue to the amount of'about
e2o, 900, 900. 1t will thus be seen that
with the expenses exceeding the reven-
ues by about three millions per week,
the $5s,000,0O0 or s59, 100000 derived
from the sale Of the $50, 600, 600 of four
per cents will very soon be eaten up, af-
ter the 500, 900, 900 of gold reserve is
made intact and the overdue bills of Un-
Gle Sam paid. 1t has been figured that
within less than two months we will
be again going down into the reserve
and permitting current bills to lie
upon Secretary Carlisle's table unpaid.
When it was proposed to issue bonds
the announcement was made by secre.
taryCarlisle and the administrationists
in congress that the issue was solely
for the purpose of keeping up the gold
reserve, which is guaranty for the
outstanding greenbacks and the nu-
oleus of the governments credit. This
was carried so far as to demand
gola coin or gold certificates OR
greenbacks in payment for the bonds
sold. But the real object in selling
bonds was to get money with which to
meet the current demands of the gov
srnment and pay a lot of old bills.
Every day gold, gold certificates and
legal tenders are being paid over the
counters of sub-treasuries to take up
treasury warrants.

New York Capitalist, Arrested, ChargeA
with ForEcries-Ths Arrest Made On
Grand Jury indictments.
NEW York, Feb. 90. .-Erastus Wiman,
formerly manager for r. g. Dun g. Co.,
the mercantile agency, builder OF the
State Rapid Transit railroad, and
prominent advocate of the annexation
Of Canada to the United States, was
arrested Wednesday charged with for
geries amounting to $9s9,QcO. He was
arraigned before Judge Martin, in tho
general sessions, and committed to the
tombs in default of $25, 900 bail.
Mr.. Wiman expressed some surprise
~ his arrest, and then he asked II
there would be any opportunity to get
bail. He said he ought to have law
yer, and he would like to be represent
cd by counsel. An effort was made by
friends to get bail late in the after
noon, but without success. Neither
did Mr.. Wiman have counsel when he
was taken to the general sessions by
the detectives.
The arrest was made by Detectives
Won Gerichton and Phil Reilly in the
afternoon, at the Office of Mr.. WimanA
son-in-law, Norman s. Miller, on q
bench warrant issued by Judge Martin
soon after the grand jury had handed
down two indictments charging Wiman
with forgery in the second degree.
AS soon as it was known that Mr..
Wiman had been arrested, Assistant
District Attorney Lindsay made known
the complaint on which the indict-
ments were founded. It recites that
- - . n,,y1
Under the articles of association he
had no right, title or interest in the
property and good will of the business,
or profits thereof, for while it was
agreed that he should receive certain
percentage of the profits, it was
especially provided that he should re-
ceive only such sum for salary, for
faithful service rendered, and that the
amount of profit should only be the
basis of determining the amount Of
salary.
1t was also provided in the articles Of
association that he should not employ
the name of R. g. Dun G. Co., except
in regular and proper business ef tho
mercantile agency, and that he should
not use the name of said association in
making, issuing or indorsing any note,
bill of exchange, draft or other obliga-
ton, except only the Endorsement OF
such papers for the account of the asso-
citation. He also had right to sign
firm checks for firm purposes only.
1t alleges that by various acts Of ems
bezzlement, Misrepresentation, breach
Of agreement, misuse Of the powers
confided him and gross usurpation Of
powers with which he was not trusted,
he succeeded during the years 1889,
1890, 1891. 1892. and up to February,
1898, in stealing from Mr.. Dun the enor-
nous sum of 1929, O1s.9o. That sum, it
says, he owes Mr.. Dun to-day.
