Adventure.
LITTLE ROCK. Ark, Feb. s.-The
coolest weather ever known in Ar
kansas in the month Of February was
experienced here to-day, when at
a. m. the thermometer registered ~
below zero and the local forecaster
predicts still greater fall in the tenn

have been made desperate and many
tales of adventure are reaching this
city.

THAT CABLE TO HAWAII.
Another Day OF Debate ON the Subject
in the Senate.

Another Day Of Debate ON the Subject
in the senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The laying
of a cable to Hawaii was further dis
cussed in the senate but no conclusion
was reached and the item remains as
a milling block to the diploma tic
and consular appropriation bill The
ca BILE project has been well-nigh lost
sight of in the wide range of Ha-
waiian debate. It is expected, how
ever, the BILE item will be voted on
to-day, and from the tendencies
shown by the speeches, the belief
prevails that the item will be adopted.
All of the Republican speeches have
been favorable to the cable and it is
expected the entire Republican vote
will be given to the appropriation Of
$500, 600 to begin the work. Several
Democrats. including Messrs. White,
Morgan and Blackburn and other
Democratic members on the foreign
relations committee, are favorable to
the cable plan, although some of the
Democratic senators oppose it as an
tagonistic to the administration poll
icy toward Hawaii.

A GREAT NORTHERN EXTENSION

President Hill Credited With a Desire
for q Chicago Outlet.
CHICAGO, Nov. "A project is under
way for extending the Great Northern
railroad to Chicago. It is the outgrowth
of a deal whereby belt line was to
have been built around Milwaukee, but
which fell through, owing to the scheme
Of constructing Great Northern con-
nection to this city. There is every
reason to believe that within a couple
of years at the latest the through line,
now only outlined on paper, will be in
operation. Several conferences have
already been held with J. J. Hill, presi-
dent Of the Great Northern, and the
Eastern capitalists interested. One Of
the conferences was upon the question Of
Extending the Great Northern
from Superior to Milwaukee and Chi
cago, the object being to give the Great
Northern an outlet to the lake and rail
centers of business and q through all
winter route. As result of these re-
cent conferences it was found that the
great railroad protector and operator
had already considered the same scheme
and looked favorably upon it. He said
frankly, however, that the present was
no time to undertake such an enter
prise, but he felt that some time in the
not distant future the plan would be-
come possibility and very practical

Mr.. DEss MAKES A STATEMENT

Policy Of the Great Northern Dishonest
and Disreputable.
WOODSTOCK, Ills, Nov. 4.-Eugene V.
Debs has made the following statement
with reference to the threatened strike
on the Great Northern railway system:
''The policy of the Great Northern
company in relation to its employees is
totally dishonest and disreputable. For
several months scheme has been in
operation to disrupt the American Rail-
way union. Notwithstanding the solemn
pledge of President Hill that no en-
ploye should be interfered with on &C.
count Of his connection with the
organization. The strike Of April, 1894,
resulted in an agreement between the
company and the union, which was Of
footed May /, under the suspioes Of .
board Of arbitration, composed wholly
Of merchants and manufacturers. Tre-
mendous reductions, ranging from 10 to
40 per cent, had been made by the COM
pany, and these were restored by the
board. From that day to this the COM
pany has not lived up to its agreement
one hour. Competent and trustworthy
employees have been discharged again
and again for no other reason than that
they belonged to the union"

BURNED AS HERETICS
THE AWFUL STORY THAT COMES
FROM. MEXICO.

Ten Persons in Jail at Texacapa and the
Building Fired by Order of Local
Judee-The Natives in . Frenzy of Ex-
element. ~
NEW YORK, Nov. "A special to
The World from Pachuca, Mexico,
saws: News comes from Texacapa, a
small town inhabited by Indians and
Mestizos (half- breeds), that 10 persons
were burned there as heretics by order
of the auxiliary town judge. He claims
he was acting according to the will OF
God, manifested to him in an extraordi-
nary vision, accompanied by certain indl-
cations of divine wrath against heretics
and people leading immoral lives. The
dispatch adds: As soon as the news
reached Mollango, the principal town in
the district, the municipal president
and minor officials, with a escort OF
over so men armed with rifles, went to
Texacapa, where they found everybody
in the public square,
Executing Grotesque Dances
in honor Of the virgin Of Guadalupe,
around the ruins of the Jail, a small
building solidly constructed, close to
the parish church. In this Jail previous
to Saturday had been confined Nicolas
Hernandez, Martin Santiago, Jose
Manuel, Casper Hernandez, Juan
Tomas, Juan Tomas, Jr., Maria Juana,
Maria Magdalena, Maria Conception
and an infant child. They had been
rudely hustled from their homes at
dead of night on the extraordinary
charge preferred by the auxiliary town
Judge that their lives were an evil in
the sight of God, and that they were
enemies of the faith and heretics whom
God had ordered through His holy saint
to be consumed by fire. The auxiliary
Judge related this with the utmost
sangfroid to the authorities. He added
that God had wrought astonishing
miracles to confirm what the saint had
told him in the vision.
Obeyed tho Divine Command,
Said the judge: II obeyed the Di-
vine command and ordered out my con-
stables and we took these sinners from
their beds and dragged them in the
darkness of night, weeping and wailing,
to the Jail. When they were locked
securely in I ordered the constables to
set the building on fire."
Twenty lone arrests were made al
though the fanatical mob threatened
death to the authorities. The prisoners
bound around the arms and
chained together, were marched to
Mollango, where a judicial investiga-
ton will take place. ~ etf

have committed offenses, have been
discharged for offenses against the gov
eminent, for disobeying orders, refusing

BIG STRIKE IN SIGHT
STATEMENT BY A COMMITTEE Of
GREAT NORTHERN EMPLOYEES.

Came to Sec j. j. Hill but Claim He
Refused Them an arge
Made Tint All Kinds Of Abuses Are
Being Heaped Upon Them.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 2-The American Rail-
way union committee which has been
in the city for the last few days seeking
an interview with President Hill, of the
Great Northern railway, has left with
out having seen Mr.. Hill. Before leav-
ing the committee prepared a statement
to the public. It purports to explain
what the committee came to st. Paul
for, and also to give copies Of the letters
said to have passed between the COM
mittee and the officers of the road. The
committee threatens or rather promises
another strike on the Great Northern as
soon as the result of the visit to St.
Paul has been known to the several
unions.
Former Agreement Violated.
In their statement to the public the
committee begins with the signing of
the agreement between President Hill
of the Great Northern and Eugene Debs
Of the A. R. U. at the end of the strike
Of 1894. Every article of the agree
ment, the men say, has been grossly
violated by the company through its
officers, from president down. EN-
ployes have been discharged without
cause, wages reduced, hours length
ened and all kinds of abuse heaped
upon them. To offset this a delegate
convention was held at Devils Lake, N.
D., Oct. to IA last. This conven-
ton investigated the condition of
the employees and drew up schedule
covering wages and condition Of en-
ployment as called for in the contract
with the company. A committee was
also appointed to call on President Hill
and present the schedule.
They Hint 1t . Strike.
The committee then goes on to say
that they came to st. Paul as instructed
by the convention, but President Hill
absolutely refused to see them.
The correspondence between the COM
mittee and the Great Northern COM
pany is given in full, the company's
part Of it being confined mainly to a
refusal to see the committee on the
ground that some Of them are not en-
ployes, but officers Of the A. r. u.
The statement then concludes as fol-
lows: ,.
''The people Of this country need not
be surprised to see the Great Northern
system tied up tighter than = drum
from St. Paul to the coast and remain
20 until President Hill signs the docu-
ments which the men have prepared,
and, and which are nothing more than
the fulfillment Of the agreement made
in May, 1894, by President ]. j. Hill for
the Great Northern system and Presi-
ident Eugene V. Debs, for the Ameri-
can Railway union. Our men are op-
posed to strikes, but it is the only
means they have for protection against
wrong and imposition, and Mr.. Hill has
left them nothing else to do. unless they
want to accept slavery"
