STRUCK AGAINST BRICE.
Marine Band MusiciGns Refused to Eat
with the Senator's Servants.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The Marine
Band struck last night against social dis
tinctioEs. Senator Brice, who established
himself and family in the old Corcoran
mansion some years ago. has made the
Marine Band a feature of the exclusive
social functions at his house. The old
mansion has been so walled up that on
these occasions only those emerging from
carriages can find entrance to the house.
The reception and ball rooms are so con-
structed as to hide the musicians. All
went well until the Christmas festivities
began. Then, despite the Senator's lavish
hospitality to his guests, the musicians
were left hungry and thirsty When
Professor Fanciulli protested he was in
formed that ample provision had been
made for the musicians in the servants
hall. Then there was a howl in seven
to go in with the servants.
Then go hungry retorted Brice.
I'VE WILL" was the fortissimo chorus.
Senator Brice had made arrangements
for a grand entertainment last night. The
Marine Band was TO supply the music.
But during the forenoon Senator Brice
to perform. He sent one or his numerous
secretaries to make inquiry. Professor
Fanciulli was like ice.
Il will not conduct" said he, "and my
men will not play. We will not be sub
jected to the humiliation of being sent to
the servants hail.
was obdurate. Then Brice appealed to the
Secretary of the Navy to order the band
to his house. Secretary Herbert very prop
srly refused to issue any such order. BY
Brce sent word to the band to make their
terms Professor Fanciulli declined
to be placated, but by paying fancy prices
Brice persuaded eighteen of the bandsmen
to play.

ELECTION JUDGE BULLDoZED.
How Democrats Perpetrated Frauds
at Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 2.-Thomas j.
Canny. a judge of election in the Ninth
ward, to-day gave most sensational testi-
mony before Commissioner Evans who is
hearing evidence in the Jamison- Bremmer-
man contest for the Office of county prose-
cutor. He declared that 2l7 ballots, which
had already been voted for Republicans
were deliberately taken from the ballot box
before the polls had closed, and Democratic
ballots, substituting the name of Bremmer-
mann for that of Jamison, were put in
their place, and the Republican ballots de-
stroyed. Canny, who is a compositor for a
local printing establishment, said he COM
planned to the other judges at the time
but Arthur Moses, alias Morrison, one of
them said. He did not give a - for the
law. Canny declared there were no Re-
publcans in the booth during the day. The
judges he said, were instructed before
hand not to let any challengers or witnesses
get in the booths, the remark being made
that: IF there's any monkey business some
one will get shot, Canny said he was
afraid to protest further at the time as
Moses had displayed a. big six-shooter. IT
am still in fear of my life" added Canny.

FROM WHITE HAIR TO BLACK.
Nature Reverses the Usual Order i'm
the Case of Engineer Gantbrall.

ST LOUIS. Jan. 2-The Globe-Democrat
Louisville correspondent says: Nature,
after frosting the hair of George f. Gam
brazil, the veteran engineer of the No.
Fire Company, has undone the work to a
large extent by turning liberal portion
of it jet black. The case is a most re-
markable one, and has not yet been satis-
factorily explained. Cases are not uncom-
mon where black hair has been turned
white by fright in a single night, but this
reverse change is probably without parallel.

TALK WITH NELSON MORRIS
HE INDIRECTLY CHARGES DEMOC-

The Shut-Out Due to Abrogation Of
Reciprocity Treaties and Imposi-
ton of Discriminating Duties.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA dispatch from
Brussels says: Newspapers here assert
that American cattle brought to Belgian
ports will be subjected to a prohibition
similar to that enforced against Canadian
cattle"
officials of the Department of Agriculture
said that they were not surprised at the
action of Belgium in excluding American
cattle from her ports. She is one of the
countries closely allied with Germany in
her commercial interests. and it was ex-
pected she would follow the example OF
her more powerful neighbors in this matter
as Denmark has already done, as 1T is be-
lieved Germany is bringing her influence to
bear ON adjoining nations to effect the COM
plete exclusion of American meats While
this belief is not susceptible of proof, 1t is
thought that it's accuracy would be strik-
ingly demonstrated by the promptness with
which Europe would decide that our meats
are pure if Congress should abolish the
sugar duties.
Dr. Salmon, chief of che Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry, says that there has been no
pIeupo-pneumonia in the United States for
two years, and that the several cases
which foreign inspectors have thought they
discovered have been proved by investiga-
ton to be false alarms. The department.
has furnished to the State Department
statements of the thoroughness of the
American system of inspection, and expert
proof of the impossibility of the trans
mission of Texas fever. the first alleged
cause for the existing meat complications.
Some of the agricultural officials are In
clined to believe that the faction OF the
German Parliament which opposes the ex-
clusion policy of the Agrarians may suc-
ceed and that the possibilities Of q tariff
war may be averted.

There is a prevailing impression that a
Democratic caucus will be held, probably
tomorrow night, to consider the measure,
but no official action looking to that end
has been taken yet. 1t was the purpose
of the Democratic leaders before the holi-

on Monday, but this is now unlikely.
Chairman Sayres, of the appropriation
committee, expects to have the District ap-
preparation bill ready by Saturday. and

middle of next week.
Mr. Sperry, a Democratic member of the
banking committee, who has taken a great
interest in the currency bill, has prepared
a substitute for it, providing for the fund

bond. His substitute, it is understood, was

Bitter Fight Between s'Nipped" job

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-The Tribune to-mor-

it may result disastrously to some of the
jobbeEs of the country who have been
caught in trap" Negotiations have been
pending for several months for a COM
bination of all the plate-glass works and
the deal was announced to go into effect
Jan. 1. An immediate advance in plate
glass prices was to take place, and, on the
strength OF this assurance, the jobbers
bought up every foot of glass in the coun-
try on speculation. Now comes the an
through, and that present prices would
suffer another 20 per cent. cut This loads
the heaviest portion of the loss on the
jobbers, who will be compelled to dispose
of their big accumulations on the new basis
of prices. AS a result, decidedly ugly feel
ing pervades all branches of this industry,
the manufacturers asserting that they are
operating at loss and the jobbers insist
ing that they have been mulcted.
