William Collier,w who in previous seasons
h made many friends in this city by his
laughable impersonation of the Judge in
"Hoss and Hoss," proved last night that
he was just as good In the Legitimate" as
in q production consisting OF nothing
more ella borate than succession OF jokes
and stage pranks.
This week he is at Keith's Opera House
playing the leading role in William Il.
kidder's new comedy, IA Back Number
and at the opening performance last
evening Collier, his company and the play
were Thoroughly enjoyed by an audience
that filed the house.
The story of the "Back Number" is that
OF the love of simple school mistress
for a fellow from town who needs moth
ing SO much as a little honest principle.
The development OF the love affair
IS conventional, but there are
interviewer innumerable amusing
incidents and William Collier, as Sniftess
Ike, ne'r- do-well OF the village has, ample
opportunity for amusing tho audience
and he gives the performance snap and
vim from start TO finish.
For instance, he goes to Chicago
TO look for sport and returns 10 the
village unsaiisiied and just in time to find
that his brother, the school teacher, has
been discharged by the chairman of the
committee, whereupon he gives he chair

msmber OF his family reinstated.

ter and was installed as prison book

nursed by Miss Curry. An attachment
was formed in the prison hospital that
ripened into love.
Miss Curry went to Frankfort and
made personal appeal to Governor
Brown for clemency. Two months age

BUT FEW WILD ANIMALS.

Those in the Yellowstone Park Have
Been Slaughtered by Hunters.
BUTTE, Mon, Nov. 26.-It is stated in
connection with the arrest Of J. G..
Courtney for killing buffalo in the
National park that there are but ten
head Of these animals left in the park,
and that the soldiers and park officials
are unable to protect them from
the poachers, and that the true
condition of affairs is kept from
the department at Washington. There
are warrants out for the arrest of six
others who were with Courtney in a
recent raid, but 80 far they have eluded
arrest. They slaughtered nine head
and realized $500 from each one. 1t is
claimed that other wild animals in the
park are slaughtered as rapidly and re-
morselessly as the buffalo.

MINERAL WORTH MILLIONS.
Very Rich Gold Mines Discovered nj
Vancouver, Ii. C..

Very Rich Gold Mines Discovered at
Vancouver, B. c.
SAN Francisco. Nov. PA special
from Victoria, B. c., says that Van
couver, the terminus of the Canadian
Pacific, has come to the front as a rich
gold field. One quartz vein is said to
be the largest on record, being not less
than so feet wide. This property is one
of the groups of claims lately taken up
at the head of Seymour creek by Benja-
min Springer, president of the Vancou-
yer board of trade, Henry Herring and
Postmaster Jonathan Miller, and0 is
less than ten miles from the latter
Office. Herring, who is the expert of
the trio, has been quietly prospecting
ever since the first discovery of the first
gold vein about a year ago, and now he
and his associates are convinced they
have a mineral property worth many
millions

MOre Politicians Arrive at WASH
ingtOn and Things Liven
= Up Some.
Conference of Republicans Re-
garding the Senate to Be
Held Soon.
Probability That Democrats Will
Hold on as Long as They
Can.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-The arrival
of number Of senators and members,
including ex-Speaker Reed, has served
to increase discussion over the reorgan-
iZation Of the two houses of congress,
and the prospect now is that this will be
the uppermost question in congressional
circles until the honse question is set
tied, and it is decided whether the SEN
ate will reorganize. The fact that the
speakership is universally conceded to
Mr.. Reed has had the effect of concen-
trating interest in the other elective
offices, and it appears probable that the
elimination of the speakership will not
diminish the general concern over the
result.
The Reorganization of the Senate.
Opinions are decidedly at variance
among Republican senators with ref
erence to the reorganization of the SEN
ate, and nothing definite will be known
on that score until after the convening
of the senate.
Senator Sherman, who is chairman
of the Republican caucus, expressed the
opinion that the Republicans would
hold a conference early in the session
for the consideration of this question.
The majority of the Republican senators
here appear to advocate an effort at
Organization on Republican Lines,
but some Of the older and more conser-
yative Of them oppose a movement in
this direction, contending that it would
be impolitic to assume the affairs and
take charge of the committees without
having working majority in the
senate. Some Republican senators who
favor reorganization, advance the idea
that the Democrats will not demand a
division when the election comes and
allow the Republicans to take it by de-
fault. Democratic senators here do not
confirm this view, and the indications
are that they will hold the offices until
the Republicans
Show Themselves Able to Take Them.
To secure this strength they will
have to obtain some of the POpulists
votes. Senator Peffer, who is generally
regarded as the leader of the third party,
is advocating the maintenance Of an in.
dependent position, and it is considered
probable that this advice will be fol.
lowed to the extent of putting ticket
in the field at the beginning Of the con
test if the Republicans attempt reorgan'
ization The Republicans are claiming
however, that they will secure Senator
Stewards vote and that Senator Jone.
also will probably stand with
them: These acquisitions would bt
suffi lent to enable the Republicans t.
take the organization. 1t appears alto
gether probable that the question will
be postponed until after the seating o
the Utah senators, which cannot hap
pen until some time in January OF
February, depending upon the expedi
ton of the Utah legislature.

Nicaragua Canal Scheme Re-
ceives a Bad Setback by
Commissioners,
Whose Report Is Said Not to
Be by Any Means Unquali-
fed Endorsement.
Want Eighteen Months More to
Fully Determine What 1t
Will Cost.

NEW YORK, Nov. ga special to
The Herald from Washington SAYS: A
serious blow has been dealt the Nicara-
guam canal company's project for the
construction Of a waterway across the
isthmus by the Nicaraguan canal COM
mission Inevitable delay and further
and more thorough investigation of the
entire subject are declared to be neces-
sary before even the engineering feast
bility of any canal across Nicaragua can
be decided upon.
Your correspondent is able to make
public the review of the contents, and
the text of the conclusions of the report
of the Nicaragua canal commission.
This report is now lying ON the presi-
dents desk and is being considered by
him in connection with his annual mes
sage to congress. The report is at such
variance with the numerous rumors
and predictions which have from
time to time been published con-
corning it, that it will cause
Great Surprise and disappointment
among those who have hoped for gen.
orally favorable report, and who have
therefore placed credence in these ru.
mors, which usually stated ION the
highest authority" that the commi ssion
favored the route proposed by the COM
pany and placed the cost of the canal
at about $1,000 10000.
The report points out that it is
neither practicable nor advisable to at.
| tempt the construction of the Nicaragua
canal upon the data at present available
and that the undertaking would be
| fraught with hazards too obvious tt
disregard.
| Advises u More Thorough Survey.
| That the necessary knowledge may
be had of the physical and topograph
ical conditions affecting the construction
and maintenance Of a canal across Mic
aragua, upon which to form fina.
Judgment as to the feasibility, perma.
nence and cost, the commission recon-
mends an appropriation by congress Of
$3.50, 600 for extensive additional sur
veys and examinations covering {
period of IS months.
With the data at hand, however, tn,
commission make a provisional estimate
of cost Of $l33, ,472, 1893, or nearly double
that of the Maritime Canal company
unconditional estimate of $69, 9,OS3, ,66O
The commission makes it's estimate
"provisional' for the commissioners "a,
the existing data are inadequate as
basis for estimating the cost of man,
structures. Some portions of the worl
may cost more; others less.

Senator Chandler Calls the Presidents

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. - Senator
William +. Chandler has written the
following letter to the president:
Il make complaint to you and
through you to our interstate commerce
commission against the trust and pool
ing agreement now nearly finished of
the eight American railroad trunk lines
and the one Canadian line of pooling
the traffic between New York and Chi
eago. The agreement provides that
every railroad in the combination shall
make and IN aintain the transportation
rates prescribed by a board of manag-
ers representing all the roads. This is
q conspiracy in restraint of trade and
commerce under the act of July 2, 1890.
The agreement also makes certain that
all competition shall be abolished, as
above required, by imposing heavy
fines upon any offending road, which
fines are to be applied for the benefit Of
the other roads This is division of
earnings contrary to section of the in
terstate commerce law. This trust and
pooling agreement
Can BE Annihilated
as provided by explicit existing laws of
the United States first by an injunction
from the courts second by an order of
the interstate commerce commission or
third by an indictment Of the indi-
viduals signing the same. 1t can also
easily be stopped by q vigorous appeal
from you to Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan,
whose power over the nine governors of
the nine trunk lines is as absolute as it
was over the bond syndicate. 1t cannot
be possible that you intend to take upon
your administration the responsl bility
of fastening upon your burdened anC
helpless people this, the hughest trus,

the United States for recognition.
There is an active rebellion in Cuba,
but the insurgents hold no seaport, no
interior town
There are numerous villages named

huts. Sometimes the insurgents re-

these hamlets. When l send a column
Of troops to it, they disappear in the
wild, painless country that exists in the
only districts in which they operate.
Precedent Set by General Grant.
"The great North American soldier,
General Grant, ably covered the sub
ject Of the recognition of the belliger-
ency of the rebels in the former revolu-
ton. He stated in a public document,
with which am familiar, that there
was no ground for him to recognize
Cuban belligerency when the people
who sought recognition held no port or

president Grant created a precedent,

government does not anticipate any
overt acts of any unfriendliness on the

SiXty-Eight Farms Gone.

We have been informed from a relia-
BILE source that one savings bank in
Western New York has taken 68 farms
in Niagara county during the last two
years. They did not foreclose the
mortgages, but had to take them be-
cause the owners could not make
enough money to pay the interest on
the mortgages, and becoming discour-
aged simply packed up and abandoned
their homes.
This is the record of one bank in one
county: and no doubt there are many
other banks doing the same thing in
Niagara and other counties.
The savings banks loan money on
one half the assessed valuation of the
land, exclusive of buildings. When
our farmers cannot make living, and
pay 8 per cent on half the value of the
land they occupy, there must be some
thing radically wrong somewhere. =
Peoples Advocate On. ~
ALI the facts indicate that this dis
ease is universal. The Empire sta tie
of New York. settled for two hundred
years, and containing the largest city
on the continent, is suffering nearly
as badly as the new states of the Mis-
sissippi Valley or the Pacific coast.
And the reports from Europe, Asia
and Africa all tell the same story.
The planet is agonized in the grasp of
the money-lenders. How will it be
saved? BY the strong sense or the
strong arms of the people?
