STAND BY YOUR ORDERS!

WRITTEN BY AN AMATEUR POET.
Behold our country's great political mishaps
Travelling from city to town and precinct,
Thinking their motives undiscovered-per-
hsps!
For fiounting grand party fake so distin ct
They are deplorable failures. square up to
date,
End savoring to evade the issue of the
times,
But will see the folly and realize their fate
When justice is melted out for National
crimes.
Uphold the promises and principle at least
Your party has boosted of for many de-
csdes,
And furnish Republicans another victory
As you struggle and die with Loved oom-
rsdes."
Why so suddenly the Tariff Issue spare?
Needing not your yalient leaders exhorta-
ton
To continue challenging to open warfare"
Until fairly settled by the peoples directs,
ton.
We see plainly your conspiracy to abandon
Tariff Reform"
Striving to force the false money question
on parade,
But your promises, principle and legislation
never did conform,
So Democracy must adhere to Projection
versus Free Trade.

WARh.1Nr FOR BOHEMANN.
Precautions Taken That He May be Held
 Seen at 1s O,eIock Saturday Night.

seen At lS O'clOCk NlSub'
 New York, Feb. 24.-Acting upon the suggestion of Recorder McDonough of Hoboken in regard to the holding of John Bohemann, who is suspected of the murder of Henry Knoop and John Seims, Captain Martin Short of the Fifth precinct, Brooklyn, went before Justice James G. Tighe of Williams burgh yesterday and secured a regular warrant for Bohemann's arrest. Cap tain Short made affidavit that he be- lieved Bohemann had murdered the two boys on the night of February IT in Mil Ters hotel by turning on the gas in their room.
 The captain took the warrant to Ho- boken early in the morning and deliver ed it to Chief of Police Donovan, who turned it over to Recorder McDonough The recorder said The warrant could be used in framing proper complaint up on which Bohemann could be held, If any attempt were made to get him free by hapeas corpus proceedings pending the getting out of requisition papers,
 Nothing further was heard yesterday from Farmer Coe of Hackensack, but other persons who went to Little Ferry, where MT. Coe had seen Bohemann and the boys on the Saturday before their death. found a number of people who remembered seeing them there. Some of these said said they had seen the boys skating on the Hackensack river during the day. Chief Donovan believes that Henry Knoop spent Friday night with Bohemann in the latters room. Knoop had drawn his money amount ing to S121 35, from the saving bank on Friday, and that night he did not sleep in the house of the grocer for whom he worked. Mrs. Lehbrink, Bohemann's landlady, was at police headquarters yesterday trying to get back the clock which Bohemann stole from her on Jan uary 29. She was asked whether Knoop spent Friday night there but she said she did not know
 It seems certain that Bohemann and the two boys did actually return to Ho- boken after spending the day on Satur- day at Little Ferry. Detective Julius Nelson says he saw them at 10 o'clock that night in the immediate neighbor- hood of Mrs Lehbrink's house at S27 Washington street. They attracted his attention because If their curious &C., tions. The tall man seemed to want to keep out of sight, and one of the boys was sent up to his room. Nelson went off to find a special policeman to put Gpon watch, and in the few minutes during which he was gone the trio dis Nelson knew John Seims by sight
 Chief Donovan will send a man to Lit tie Ferry to-day to pick up such infor- nation as can be got there. He said yesterday that he was now directing his efforts to finding out what occurred be- tween 10 o'clock, when Nelson saw the three, and 1 o'clock, the time when they turned up at Miller's hotel.

George Howie Broke His Word and Again
 Went to the Chinese.
 London, Feb. 24-The Central News correspondent in Tokio says the naval reports from Wei Hai Wei mention eleven foreigners who were captured with the island forts last surrendered by the Chinese. Ten of them swore to take no further part in the present war and were set free.
 George Howie, the American. who came to the east with a scheme to blow up Japanese vessels with submarine in- fernal machines, has been detained aboard the Japanese flagship pending the decision of his fate. The Japanese made a reservation as to Howie in the articles of capitulation. They are in clined to treat him severely as he was let go on parole after his arrest aboard the steamer Sydney, yet he lost no time in breaking his word and plac- ing his services at the disposal of the Chinese The Japanese marines, who were killed in the early torpedo at tacks at Wei Hai Wei were buried with military honors.
 The Japanese reports speak highly of Admiral Ting and the orders which he wrote just before his suicide to di- rect the course of his officers in com pleting the arrangements of the sur render.
 The Central News correspondent in Hai Cheng telegraphs under date of February 21 that Lieutenant General Katsura then reported the Chinese force which formerly held Kyanwatsai, had retreated to New Chwang. The Chinese forces at Lukungton and Sataitsu were about 5000 strong. The garrisons of New Chwang and Ting Row seemed to have been decreased.

BIG srLYER MEN rn ERE.
They Claim to Have Secured a Big Triumph
 in GermanY.

Berlin, Feb. 24.---The economic cor. gresses with agrarian tendencies have been numerous and obstreperous ir Germany in the last few days, A powerful bimetallic league has been formed, but otherwise the whole agita- ton has produced nothing more than floods of talk. All the big silver men of the empire have been here and are moving heaven and earth to convert the government to their cause. Dr. Arendt, the most conspicuous bimetal- list of the country, said yesterday:
 There is no doubt that the silver men scored triumph when the reichs- tag voted for an international money conference However, their majority would not have been so great if the deputies had not deemed Count Kan itz's grain monopoly impossible and yet felt that they must help along the suf- fering farmers in some way. They recognized in the proposal to reform the currency fair and practicable way of beneftting Germany's agrlcul- ture."
 "I know the government will rot act in hurry. The silver men do not de- sire haste in this matter nor would they press forward the negotiations for the conferences. Premier Ribot's recent utterances on the silver question are of the greatest importance IS he took care to explain that his views harmonized with those of M Hanoteauy the min istef of foreign affairs, trough whom the understanding could be easily ob- tained." ..
 Dr. A.endt feels sure of Freiherr von Mars aells support in the present bat tie of the standards. He speaks of the foreign secretary as "a fanatical bimet- allist" Dr. Arendt does rot see why the key to the situation should be left in England's hands. If Germany and Ffarce moves together he thinks Eng land must fall in line,
 Dr. Miquel, minister of finance, says: If this matter of the conference will take the regular course the government will adhere to it's declarations and pour-Dourlers will be opened with the federal governments. GO not doubt that when the basis shall be found the way to an international argument will be followed. l am equally convinced that the imperial government is very much in earnest with it's efforts to as- sist the German farmers"
 As the United States are especially interested in the rehabilitation of silver Dr. Koch suggests that they could simply continue the Brussels cogfer- ence, which was never formally closed.
 Herr von Kardorff, the agrarian and silver agitator said he relied upon Chancellor Prince Hohenlohe to give practical form to the reichstag's vote.

" OLD DAVY" FOUND DEAD.
VAS 4 WELL-KNOWN CHARACTER
 AlEONG Y1LENSI4NS.

Rats Had Eaten Away Portions of His Face
 Thought to Have Been Dead Since Fri
 day-Discovered by Means of His Dog
 Death Due to Heart Failure.
 David Breckinridlge, colored, who is familiarly known to al! Yale students and many of the residents of the city as "Old Davy," was found dead in his house, 479 Winchester avenue, early yesterday afternoon by neighbor Medical Examiner White was promptly notified and after a careful investiga- tion rendered a verdict that death was due to heart failure.
 "Old Davy," who had been a promi- nen figure around the Yale campus and Yale Field for the past quarter of a century, was last seen alive Friday afternoon when he was engaged in peddling his wares among the students at the Sheffield Scientific school. Since that time no one had seen him until he was discovered yesterday by one of his neighbors.
 The attention Of the neighbor was attracted by the whining of bull ter rier pup, of which Davy was very fond. He took the dog into his house and fed him. He then took the dog back to Davy's home. On arriving al the house he was very much surprised to find the door open and still more surprised on looking in to see Davy apparently asleep in a chair in front of the stove. The neighbor entered the house and spoke to Davy, but received no response. Upon a closer investiga- tion he discovered that Davy was dead.
 Davy was seated on a chair imme- diately in front of the stove In his right hand was firmly grasped poker, with which he had evidently been at tending to the fire when overtaken by death, His face had been eaten by rats and altogether he presented a most hideous appearance. The rats had eaten out one eye, the eyelid of the other, a portion of his nose and almost all the skin from his chin.
 Medical Examiner White was prompt ly notified and after a thorough inves- tigation decided that Davy had prob. ably been dead since Friday evening Death was due to heart failure. In his pockets were found $79 in cash and there was a quantity of food about the. house, but this had evidently not been. touched by the rats.
 Davy, who was about seventy years old, had been alone since last october when he buried his wife. He leaves a son, Fred Philips, who has been adopted by family residing on Henry street. It has been generally SUD- posed that Davy was pretty we'll fixed in this worlds goods, but diligent search throughout the house failed to disclose any money or valuables other than that found upon his person. Davy's familiar cry "only a few more left" is as well known to college men as the Yale cry itself

DEATH IN 4 MINE.
Two Convicts and Twenty-three Mules
 Suffocated.

Suffocated.
 Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 24.-Two con- victs and twenty-three mules were suf- located early this morning in Rock Slope shaft, No. 1, at Pratt mines.
 Shortly after 1 o'clock the engine room was discovered to be on fire, and an alarm was given. Willing hands with hose and water were soon in the mine fighting the flames, which had gained considerable headway. Twenty convicts and twenty-three mules were cut off from the outside by the fire. The smoke was carried toward the men and mules. About three hours of hard work was needed to extinguish the fire, and then the rescueIs pushed on.
 The body of John Patton was found lying across the track. His head was badly battered as if he had tried to kill himself before being suffocated by the smoke. A short distance away was the body of Louis Stevens. The mules were found all in heap, dead They had kicked one another fearfully while maddened by the smoke.
 The other eighteen convicts were found in a bunch near the air shaft, where they had gathered in the hope of keeping alive. Several of them were on the ground. They were hastily car ried out of the mine and brought around all right. Patton and Stevens had been sent up for grand larceny.
 The fire was of incendiary origin.

He Has Been Chosen to Succeed Senator
 Dolph in Congress.
 Salem, Ore, Feb. 24.-George w. Me Bride, ex-secretary of state, was last night elected United States senator to succeed J. N. Dolph.
 At the beginning of the twenty-third ballot Cleston, Dolph man, presented the name of Mcbride. The immense throng in attendance gave cheer after cheer for McBnde. As the roll call pro- ceeded it became evident that McBride would be elected
 When he received the forty-fifth vote, which was necessarily to election, bvl- lam broke loose. All the republicans began to change their votes and when the call was completed Mcbride receiv- ed the full republican strength of sev- enty-two votes. A committee was ap- pointed to es cort MT. Mcbride before the joint assembly. He made brief speech thanking the legislature for his election. It was a narrow escape from a dead lock, for had the election been delayed for fifteen minutes the time for adjourn ment sine die of the legislature would have arrived.
 Senator-elect Mcbride Is forty-one years old, native of Oregon and lawyer. He has served in the legisla- ture and held the office of secretary of state for eight years. He has never been identified with either the silver or the anti-silver element. As he was elected by Dolph's supporters, however, it is reasonable to suppose that he will not ally himself with the free coinage people.
