CHICAGO, Feb 5. The fight between
the American Railway union and the
old railway brotherhoods, which
antedated the strike last summer and
became more bitter at that time
because the old brotherhood men
refused to join in the strike, has
not been softened by the hand of
time. Instead, the feeling between
the rival bodies has apparently be-
come more intense. Yesterday the
subject was discussed at length by
200 or more leaders of the Order of
Railway Conductors, and an almost
unanimous expression was found in
the adoption of a resolution recon-
mending to the coming biennial con-
vention of the grand division that the
line be drawn in the order to exclude
all members who refuse to renounce
allegiance to the American Railway
union.

Judge GroSscup ReprOVes the Whisky
Trust President and Removes Him.
CHICAGO, Feb. 5-Judge Grosscup
to-day removed President Greenhut
from the receivership of the Whisky
trust, but allowed Receiver Lawrence
to remain in Office as representative
of the directors, appointed General
John McNulta as receiver in chief
and named John j. Mitchell as re-
ceiver TO represent the New York
stockholders.
After an exhaustive review of the
case the judge declared that he had
been imposed upon in the selection of
President Greenhut as one of the re-
ceivers. A receivers duty should be
the enhancing of the value of the
property which he is to control. Ad-
missions in court had shown that
Greenhut was heavily short on the
stock and his personal interest would
thus dictate the depreciation of the
stock rather than the enhancing of
its value

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 5.-The big

In my opinion they give

they have a grievance should watch
and wait patiently until election day
and then right their wrongs at the
ballot box. The land question is the
main one Of the times. 1t is the
wealth-producing element You have
the evil here i n the East greater than

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 5--''Men

of Northern Kansas and across the

There are only 500 of US, men,
women and children, in st. Francis.
We have given all we have of our lit
tie means. The county has issued
warrants to pay for food until its re-
spoDsibility has been impaired and no
one will take the warrants. We have
tried to be brave and help ourselves,
but our means are exhausted and we
are forced to appeal to the country
or see our women and children perish
with cold and hunger.

CHEcorAH, Ind. Ter, Feb. 5.-SheriR
w. F. Lake, Of Pawnee county, Ok,
and posse, consisting Of Deputy
Sheriff +. M. Canton and DIR. Bland,
of Pawnee, Deputy Marshal Dean
Hogan, of Muskogee, Deputy Marshal
John McCane and Robert McCane, of
Checotah made an important capture
of VIII and John Shelly, alias Pierce,
ten miles east of here yesterday. The
Shelly brothers, who were held for
grand larceny, broke Jail ut Shawnee
September last. When captured
they had in their possession several
saddles and harness which have been
claimed by citizens of Checotah.
They were apprehended in a house
owned by Sterling Hood, who knew
nothing of their reputation as Grim
inals, and when ordered to surrender
they opened fire, wounding Deputy
McCane and DIR. Bland slightly. The
officers returned the fire, shooting
Will Shelly through the legs.
Coal oil was procured and
the house was set on fire.
After about seventy-five shots
were fred and seeing that all hope of
escape from the flames and the deter
mined officials was gone, the two
desperate men surrendered, and were
brought to Checotah. Sheriff Lake
and his posse will leave here to-day
with his prisoners and will travel
overland to Pawnee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-When the
senate met to-day the vice president
laid before the members the follow
ing letter from Secretary Carlisle in
response to the German resolution OF
inquiry adopted last week:
In reply to senate resolution of Jan
uary 2S, 1894, that the secretary of
the treasury be directed to inform the
senate what the estimated de-
ficiency in the revenues of the
government to pay current expenses
between the 3lst day of Decem Der,
1894, and the 31st day of December,
1895, and if the $153, 337 $40. 90 cash
balance in the treasury on the 3lst
day of December, 1894, will be suffi-
cient to meet such deficiency, have
the honor to state that from estimates
made upon the basis of laws now In
force, it is believed that for the
twelve months ending December 81,
1895, the revenues Of the government,
from all sources, will exceed ordin-
airy expenditures by $92, 1853, O93. Re-
spectfully, j. G. CARLISLE,
Secretary.
The reading of the letter was closely
followed by the senators, and Mr.
Mcpherson of New Jersey went to
the clerks desk to personally inspect
it. Then Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island
sent for it and group of Republican
senators gathered about him and read
it over his shoulder. Mr.. German
smiled significantly at the secretary's
direct and positive estimate of the
ampleness of the revenues,
Mr.. Villas of Wisconsin from the jul
dietary committee favorably reported
the bill retiring Mr.. Justice Howell
Jackson from the United States SUI
preme court bench and asked imme-
date consideration of the measure,
but Mr.. Aldrich, still holding Secre-
tary Carlisle's letter, suggested that
there were some other things that
would prevent the consideration of
the bill and it accordingly went over.

A Petition With Forty Thousand Names
to Go to the Kansas Legislature.
TOPEKA, Feb. Oscar Bischoff has
heard from seventy-two counties to
which he sent blank petitions asking
the legislature to resubmit the pro-
hibition amendment to vote of the
people. He sent out 5000 blanks
in all, and is getting them back
now at the rate of 1900 sig
natures day. He expects to
have 10000 signatures by the
time he presents the petition next
week. The largest number of names
was from Sedgwick county. Shawnee
comfy has 1900; Leavenworth and
Marshall counties, which are strong
holds of anti-prohibition, have not
been heard from. A leading resub-
missionist says that this lack Of
interest is easily accounted for.
"They have open saloons in those
counties and have ceased worrying
on account of prohibition.

uabeas Corpus Writ Denied.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The supreme
court of the United States to-day
denied the application of Elverton R.
Chapman, the recalcitrant witness in
the senate sugar trust investigation
of last summer, for a writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that it was not
competent for the supreme court to
interfere in the matter until after the
case should have boon finally disposed
of by the district court.
The application for a writ of ha-
beas corpus was also denied in the
case of j S. Shriver, the newspaper
writer, on the same grounds, the
court remarking that it was essen
TALLY similar to the Chapman case.
Justice Field d.ssented from the
opinion.

Secretary Smith Against tho Bill for
Short Final Proofs on HOinesteads.
WASHINGTON, Feb 5. - Secretary
Smith has made an adverse report on
the house bill for the relief of set
tiers on public lands lying in semi
arid sections. The object of the bill
is to allow certain settlers in the
Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas and
Oklahoma to make final proofs on
their homestead and timber claims
at the end of two years
of continuous settlement and
improvements instead of five years,
as the law provides. A large number
of these settlers have been obliged to
leave their homes temporarily to sup.
port their families because of long
continued drought
Secretary Smith advises against the
Legislation in view of the act author
izing local officers to grant leaves of
absence to settlers on public lands
who, through total or partial destruc-
tion or failure of crops or to her UNI
favorable casualty, are unable to sup
port themselves and family on the
land settled on.

A MILWAUKEE, STREET CAR
GOES THROUGH A DRAW.
THREE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES.
The Careless MotOrman,a School Teacher
and Another Woman Drowned in the
Icy Rlver-NarrOw Escape of
Number of tho Passengers
Six Persons Rescued From
the Cold Water.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. ga trolley
car Of the Russell avenue and Hilton
street line plunged through the open
draw of the Kinnikinnick avenue
bridge at $3.50 o'clock this morning,
carving three people down to death
in the icy waters of the river, Six
persons were rescued from the par
TALLY submerged car
The accident seems to have clearly
been due to the carelessness of the
motorman, John Kennedy, but he
stuck to his post in vain endeavor
to stop the car, WHICH he had per
mitted to approach too near to the
open draw, and paid the penalty of
his carelessness with his life.
The car struck endwise in the river
and was submerged for about two
thirds of its length, but did not go
to the bottom owing to the thick ice
at that point This circumstance
alone, it is believed, made it possible
to rescue any of the passengers The
dead are:
Mrs. Antoinette G. Gilman, kind
ergarten teacher in the Twelfth dis
trict primary school and a daughter
of Professor Gilman, director of
music in the public schools.
John Kennedy, motorman.
Miss Schmittkunz, employed at the
National knitting works.
One woman, probably Ella Wach-
holz, chung desperately to Edward
Hoffman as he continued to raise him
self out of the water. He could lend
no assistance, however, AS his strength
was almost gone. But the helpless
woman was safely borne above the
waters and soon placed in place of
safety. Annie Alb was rescued in a
similar way.
