New York on Her Recent Trip.
When the big New York was cutting
her way through a thick bank of fog
Friday night d few miles off the Hook,
Third Engineer Raum climbed down
into the stokeroom and told Chief Fire
man Him. that he should get up more
steam. The engineer spoke in such a
commanding tone that the chief fireman
got nettlod and replied that, in his
opinion, the steam pressure under which
the ship was then working was suffi-
Gent for the required speed.
Tho engineer became onraged and
with a curse grabbed a IL foot poker, the
handle Of which was protruding from
II OF the immense furnaces, and was
about to run the redhot iron through
the body of the chief fireman when
Fireman Wagner threw himself upon
him from behind and bore him down.,
thus saving the lie of Him..
Then commenced a terrible life and
death struggle between Wagner and the
engineer The men were on Il platform
from which the coal is shovelcd into
the furnaces. Both men are Of powerful
build, with muscles of steel. They
grippcd each other where they lay and
rolled over and over. Each tried hard
to push or roll the other into one of the
blazing furnaces. About 40 cual pass.

Wagner finally managed to get hold
Of his adversary's throat, and he tight
cned his grip until the engineers eyes
bulged from their sockets. Then he let
him go. Raum was almost dead. A
bucketful of water was dashed into his
face, and he revived sufficiently to drag
himself to tie elevator and be hoisted
Oh deck.
Two hours later Fourth Engineer
Peters came down the stokeroom and
told Wagner that one Of the machinists
wanted to see him. Tho fireman went
up to one OF the coal bunkers, where
the machinist was said to be waiting.
Here Wagner was attacked by Peters
and knocked down and almost beaten
to death. He says that the first blow
struck was by Peters, who hit him on
the right temple with q brass knuckler,
i'll consequence Of which he almost lost
consciousness. Then the two fell upon
him mercilessly.
Wagner made no complaint to the
captain or any Of the officers, believing,
he said, that he would not get Justice

Telephoning Without Wires.

LAWRENCE, Kan, June Prof. Blake
conducted some novel experiments at
the river shore yesterday, when he
succeeded in telephoning to assistants
in boat about mile up the shore
without wires of any sort.
The professor stood on the river
bank and the assistant sat in a skltf
in the middle Of the stream mile or
more up the river, with only the two
wires reaching into the water. Tele-
phonic communication was established
as perfect as with the usual wires OF
tn ordinary tel aphoue, aud the person
who witnessed the experiments listened
through the the transmitters to the
words of the men in the boat.
Prof. Blake will perfect the expert
ment this summer on the Atlantic sea-
coast. where he will establish commu-
nication between light ships and the
shore. The experiments yesterday
were witnessed by Chancellor Snow,
members of the board of regents and a
large number Of invited guests. They
were the first experiments of the kind
ever performed here, or, in fact, any
where else. as Professor Blake is the
inventor of the plan.

TO PROVIDE FOR MRS. DAVIS.
GEN. GORDON SAYS THE REPORT THAT
THE SOUTH HAD REPUoATeo
Mrs. JET. Davis Is Erroneous.-He ExpIans ,bs
Action OF the Meeting at Birmingham, Ala.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-During the
recent confederate reunion at Brming-
ham, Ala, a dispatch was sent to some
OF the newspapers representing, in
effect, that the confederate veterans
had abandoned all efforts to aid Mrs.
Jefferson Davis on the ground of her
temporary residence in New York.
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, who is
COMMUNICATIVE chef of the United
States Confederate Veterans. and who
presided over that meeting, has had his
attention called to that telegram and is
greatly annoyed at its misrep resenta-
tion OF the fact connected with Mrs.
Davis. correction was made imme-
dlately upon its first publication, but
thls correction does not seem to have
been generally published. General
Gordon said today:
'The dispatch was not only a gross
perversion of the facts calculated to
deeply wound Mrs. Davis, but is an
outrage on the spirit and manhood of
the confederate association. The facts
briefly stated are these The commit
tee appointed at previous reunion to
memorabilia the southern states in
reference to pension for Mrs. Davis
reported at Birmingham that the states
could not grant such pension on ac-
count OF certain clauses in the states,
constitutions. Not one word of criti-
clsm was made of Mrs. Davis on ac-
count OF her temporary residence in
New York, nor was one thought enter
tanned OF abandoning the purpose to
provide for her in the most unostenta-
tlous but ample manner. All the
sounthern people know that Mrs.
Davis and her daughter could not live
alone at her home, aud her intimate
friends know that there exists grave
reasons for their stay in New York at
present. 1t is also generally known,
think, that every dollar of money
raised after the death of Mr.. Davis for
Mrs. Davis was, at her earnest request,
devoted to the payment of her debts"
General Gordon added that he great
ly regretted the necessity of referring
to the matter in this way, because it
was very trying to Mrs. Davis sensi-
bilities. But" he added, "inasmuch
as the erroneous dispatch has found cil-
culation, l think it due to the confed-
crate veterans to say that they regard
it not only as sacred duty, but priv
ilege to make from their private means
ample provision for her in spite of her
protest against it, and movement for
this purpose is alrerdy on foot"

Arkansas an Asylum.

LITTLE Rock, June Gov. Fish
back received the following telegram
tonight:
We, residents of the Indian Territory,
denominated, "striking Miners" are
informed that large portion of our
number, yariouslv estimated from 5000
to 5000 persons, men, women and
children, together with their personal
effects, are to be summarily elected
from the territory, regardless Of the JUS
tice of our opposition to most heartless
and disastrous reduction Of our wages.
Whether we will be forced upon your
soil or thar of the states of Texas or
Kansas we know not. That so many
destitute persons will be inflicted upon
your state without the most strenuous
opposition, we do not expect, we there
fore take this precautionary step to
call yonr attention thus early to the
fact that this compulsory migration is
in direct opposition to our most earnest
protest. and without our consent or
violation, and pray you to make the
salty of our families, helpless victims
between two fires, your concern as far
as lies in the path of vonr duty.
THE CoMNITTEE
Per Goe. Il. jain.
The Governor replied as follows:
However much l deplore the existing
relations of the Indian Territory to the
United States, the government has the
right to remove intruders, and the bill
of rights of every State in the Union
gurantees the man, when removed, to
90 into any State they please, and there
is no law authorizing any governor TO
forbid them, so long as they are peace-
full.

Plenty Of Money at Tahlequah.

TAHLEQUAH. VIA FIT. GIBSON, /. T.,
June 6.-The big Cherokee payment
now in PROCESS at this place continues
to attract people from all parts of the
country, and fully 5000 people are now
crowding in the city. Nearly all lines
of business is brought by rush, aud it
is almost impossible to get the use of
the telephone wire for press reports.
Over $500, 900 of the funds have been
paid out and now money is becoming
almost as common as the tradesman' 8
dodgers. Every body is flush with
money and gambling houses, wheels Of
fortune and other devices of this sort
are running wide open. Reported rob-
berries of the people leaving for home
are common. Some Indians have been
relieved of their cash by pick pockets
even before leaving the city. Most of
them drawing are now taking checks
against the United States sub treasury
at st. Louis, instead of cash.
Everything is quite and but little
drinking is INDUCED in. The payment
at this place will last ten days longer.
The next place of payment will be at
Vinita in the northern part of the
nation and even larger crowd is ex-
pected there than is here, Ninita being
close to the northern boundary of the
territory, and thousands of people
from Kansas and Missouri will be there.
The Cherokee treasurer will commence
paying out there about the Is inst.

Immigration Restriction.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The plan of a
nonpartsan commission to prepare a
comprehensive code of laws restricting
immigration has been informally dis
cussed at gathering of prominent Re-
publican represen tatives. The men,
bers casually in one of the house cloak
rooms, but the discussion took such an
interesting phase that about twenty
members were drawn into it. The
cloak room doors were closed and the
Informal talk nearly developed into q
caucas.
1t was the genera! expression of such
men as Messrs. Reed, Dolliver and
Cannon that the immigration question
should be wholly divorced from politics.
La order to accomplish this it was sug-
gested that congress could create a
national commission Of fifteen mem
bers, representing all parties, SO that
the political effect of any restrictive
code prepared would not be borne by
any one party.
The commission would consider the
entire immigration question, changing
and modifying old laws and suggesting
new ones. The cases submitted would
be passed on by congress and in this
way broad restrictive measures might
be secured without exciting bitter party
animosity.

Pastor Reed Steps Down.

DENVER, Colo, June 1.-The Rev.
Mvron w. Reed, one of the popular
ministers of this city, resigned the
pastorate of the First Congregations al
church yesterday. The step was taken
because of exception to some of his
remarks made in the pulpit last Sun
day evening, in which he criticised the
Cripple Creek mine owners.
In an address last evening before
the Union league Mr.. Reed said: "I
am not prophet, but am the son of
prophet. My father foresaw the be.
ginning of the Civil War. l see the
beginning of war now. Those men
on the hill are fighting the first battle.
Special advantages to none, equal op-
portunities to all. Under this banner
We fight this fight"
Mr.. Reed has been unique character
IN Western life for several years. He
is an avowed Socialist, yet his position
in the pulpit has given to him an audi
ence that has been denied to many
who have accepted his creed. He was
member of the &. A. r. and mixed
up in it's politics more or less. He has
several times been a candidate for
Congress. He has been in several po-
litical parties, beginning as Republi-
can, going off with Peter Cooper, and
finally landing through Democracy into
Populism where his radical socialistic
viewo have had an opportunity for de-
velopment. On account of his socialis-
tic views he has not been in sympathy
with his congregation for several years.
Last summer he addressed political bod
les when Bloody Bridles'' Waite was
in his zenith. Of late years he has brok-
en- health. He will probably leave
Colorado for milder climate.
