The Large Number During the Fifty
Zhird Congress Almost Unprecedented.
WASHINGTON, Feb. L.. - Since the
E;fty-third congress was elected there

A MONSTER PETITION.
Contains over 100000 Names of Foos
to Liquor and Opium.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-Chicago has just
sent the champion petition of all his
tory to Grover Cleveland. 1t took
dozen large boxes to hold it, and
Mrs. Carse had it in charge. 1t
will be formally presented to the
president in Convention music hall,
Washington, Friday evening of this
week. This record dbreaking document
is the mammoth polyglot petition of
the Worlds Womans Christian Tenn
perance union. 1t contains 6 miles
O. signatures, and If the written
names of all its verbal indorsers
were added it would be 35 miles
long, Miss Frances Il. Willard is
the woman who inspired it, and the
petition asks the rulers of all nations
to suppress the liquor and opium traf-
fic. Hitherto the largest petition ever
framed and the only one that ap-
preached to this in the number of its
signatures was the famous petition of
the British chartists in 1s41 asking
for the repeal of the corn laws; that
had nearly 100000. Miss Willard and
her coworkers started out twelve years
ago to get 2,000,000 women's names to
their petition, and the history of the
years of work that have intervened
compasses the whole world. The work
has now been practically accomplished,
and the great polyglot petition has at
last started on it's travels to the court
of every ruler of the world-for this
document is to be carried around the
world in two special steamers fur
nished by Miss Willard and Lady
Henry Somerset. But this will not be
until 1896.

FAVOR A GABLE.
Senators Vote to Build a Line to the Ha-
waiian lalands.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-By the de-
cisive vote of SO to 26 the senate agreed
on Saturday to inaugurate the project
of laying a cable from the Pacific coast
to Hawaii An amendment to the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill was made giving S500,000 for be-
ginning work on the cable and author
izing the president to contract for the
entire work, estimated to cost S3,000,-
900.
This was the first practical result
coming from the intermittent Hawaiian
debate, lasting more than year, and
renewed with intensity the last week
in connection with the proposed CABLE
The debate of the last few days has
shown that the lines of division were
practically the same as those hereto
fore existing on all issues over Ha-
waii, the republican senators urging
closer relationship by cable and ulti-
mately by annexation, the democratic
senators as rule contending against
the cable or other entangling
alliances with Hawaii. But this
party division had notable ex-
ceptions during the debate and
was emphasized in, the final vote Six
democratic Senators, Morgan. German,
Hill, Butler, Call and White voted with
twenty-eight republican senator's and
three populists, constituting the ma
jority for the cable. One republican
senator, Senator Pettigrew, voted

A PENSION RULING.
What an old Soldier Must Show Before
Securing an Increase of Pension.

What an old Soldier Must Show Before
Securing an Increase of Pension.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12--Assistant Sec
retary John M. Reynolds, of the in
terror department, has made a novel
ruling in an application for an increase
of pension, where contributory negli-
gence was shown. He decided that
where soldier pensioned for deafness
walks alongside railroad track for
the purpose of making a ''short cut"
from his home to another part of the
city and is struck by car and injured,
the injury is primarily due to his own
negligence and only secondarily and
remotely, if at all, to his deaf
ness. To establish claim for
increase of pension on account
of injuries alleged to have been in
Cured by reason of the disability for
which pensioned, it must be clearly
and satisfactorily shown that the ae-
cident resulting in such injuries was
directly occasioned by the preeXisting
disability and was in no wise due to
negligence or carelessness on the part
of the claimant or to the lack of that
care and caution which ordinary pru-
dence would dictate should be eXer-
cised by one in a crippled condition or
not in the normal enjoyment of all his
faculties

BERLIN, Feb. 11.-Throughout Ger
many during the past week the cold
has been intense and in several places
the thermometers have registered 20
degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The
Rhine, Neckar and the Main are frozen
over for long distances, and the south
ern part of the Cattegai is also
frozen. Heavy snow drifts have
completely stopped traffic about
the Eifel mountains and the
Rhineland, where the snow is
feet deep. Great misery has been
caused in many parts of the country
and numbers of persons have been
frozen in the country districts and even
near Berlin. Railroad traffic is espe-
cially disorganized. From Altkirch,
Alsace, it is reported that wolves, in
some cases driven by the extreme cold,
have come to the villages in order to
seek food, and in other provinces the
same occurrence is recorded.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
Farmer and HIS Family Thought to
Have Been Murdered.

ARDMoRE, l. T., Feb. 11.-News has
reached here of a horrible holocaust
last Wednesday night about 16 miles
southwest of this city. A house occu-
pied by farmer named Tucker caught
fire and owing to the terrible bliz-
zard which prevailed, it burned so
quickly that Tucker, his wife and
four children were cremated in the
burning house. Later it was learned
that suspicion of foul play existed. 1t
was thought, perhaps, the family had
been murdered and the house fired
afterwards. Police arrested fuckers
son-in-law, between whom and Tucker
bad blood had existed for some time.
