A Committee of 100.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-At a representative municipal reform meeting the committee of fifteen who had been intrusted by the original meeting with the task of con- sidering and presenting a report recom- mending the best course to pursue to divorce politics from municipal affairs, reported in favor of appointing body of 100 citizens, who shall have charge of the detailed work and act independently of both the old parties. The plan is based on the independent reform move ment which was successful in defeating Tammany in New York city. After much discussion, in which extreme views were expressed in regard to organization and trading with machine politicians for bal ance of power, the meeting decided to adopt the report of the committee of fif- teen. The latter body which Is com posed of the foremost citizens. who are still republicans or democrats on na- tional issues, will select the 100 men.
 This body will be one of practical poll ticians for reform purposes and the present political plans of the party ma chine type will be met and fought on their Own grounds. The municipal par ty will enter the field for every officer in the city, town and county. ~s. -~

ATTEMPTED CAR ROBBERY Assault Last Night on Two East Lake Line Conductors. NEGRO SHOT IN THE FRAY Lies Seriously Wounded at the City Prison. Conductor Walker Was Cut by One
 of the Assaiants.

Last night, about o'clock, two negroes boarded the East Lake dummy, outgoing, at the Belt railroad crossing, near the Sloss furnaces
 Conductors Vic Prowlett and Tom Wal ker were in charge of the train
 Both conductors met the pair at the same time and the fare was paid to Conductor Walker. As Conductor Prowlett turned to enter his coach, one of the negroes caught Conductor Walker around the neck and the two fell struggling to the ground. The dummy was running quite fast, but a nasty jerk at the tell cord by Conductor Prowlett brought it to stop short distance from the point where the other negro jumped off. Evidently the two colored men had when the train backed up and Conductor Prowlett jumped off heavy piece of slag was hurled at this head. Conductor Prov lett drew his revolver and fired at his as- sailant. The ball struck the negro in the right breast, inches under the arm. The other negro made his escape, after nf1ict- ing a savage knife thrust at Conductor Walkers neck, but inflicting only face flesh wound
 The wounded negro was brought to the dressed his wounds, was not prepared last night to say whether his injuries are fatal, although he pronounced it serious wound. The ball was not probed for.
 Conductor Prowlett was arrested by d deputy constable in Avondale, but Super intendent McClary, who is always a sub stantial friend of his operatives, immediate ly procured sufficient and satisfactory bond for his employe.
 The negro who was shot is known as drayman for MT. H. M. Beck, on Morris avenue.

they looked with pleasure upon the pos sibility of the stars and the stripes and the union jack floating together in de- fense of a common cause, sanctioned by community of sentiment. He added that while the continental nations regarded the sufferings of the Armenians with comparative indifference, the United Kingdom and the United States felt the deepest sympathy and indignation
 MT. Chamberlain paid tribute to the excellence of the American missions, and declared that the Americans were also interested in the sufferings of humanity for huma nity's sake, and not for any territorial ambition MT. Chamberlain concluded by saying:
 Would it were possible that instead of wasting breath in a petty South Amer ican boundary dispute we could count on the powerful support of the United States in enforcing the representations which hitherto we have fruitlessly made in behalf of those who are suffering py Turkish tyranny and Turkish fanau- cism." (Cheers)
 He concluded by declaring that the con- dition of the Armenians was danger and a disgrace to Europe, but he did not believe that the resources of eiVlllzation had been entirely exhausted.
 Upon the conclusion of his address MT Chamberlain was greeted with prolonged cheering.

STOPPED GAMBLING.
The Chicago Grain Men Will Stop Betting
 on Futures.


 Chicago III, Jan. 25.-At a meeting Of the board of trade men today the report of the subcommittee which has been formu- lating the plan of Robert D. Lindblem, for trading in cash grain to the exclusion of futures, was approved and if the plan IS approved by the directors it will be put in operation after next May The plan is that ail trading in wheat shall be in cash prop erty and that the board of trade casn grain depository shall be organized with $l 0OO 900 paid up capital, to take care o1 the wheat and advance money on It with other duties, which are considered neces- sary for the success of the plans. MT. Lindblem made vigorous speech in sup port of his plan, which he was convinced would be adopted by all the exchanges Of the country in the near future, If only Tor self preservation, in view of the powerful influences at work to suppress speculation in agricultural products by tional legisla, ton, such as the anti-option bill. He said this bill was defeated in the last congress only by the exercise of most tremendous influence. He added: 1.-The strong arm of tho United States government will soon take hold of the gambling which is going on in agricultural products to the detriment Of business. While the grain gamblers bucket shop keepers) may bribe grand jurors and local officers, they cannot bribe Uncle Sams narshals. and we must come down to actual delivery of every bushel or grain traded in on the board of trade in order to draw the line between speculation and gambling, pure and simple; between boards of trade and bucket shops"

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The Censorship Is Stricter Than Ever in Cuba So News From There Is
 Reliable.

Havana, Jan. 25-The censorship of foreign ca bles is more strict than ever be- fore. The new censors orders are to al low nothing to go creditable to the in- surgents or discreditable to Spanish troops, nor any reference to military movements. Matter permitted to pass by his predecessor is stopped No refer ence to the gravity of the situation is all lowed. News published in Havana pa pers is not permitted to be sent abroad
 The Cubans disbelieve the report that Gomez was shot through the leg last Friday and say he has been in the saddle daily since. The only information comes from prisoners statements.
 Some portion of Gomez people yeSter- day attempted to cross the railroad be- tween Havana and Batabane. which Is now a military trocha. There are heav- fly fortified forts at all stations and iron clad cars at other points. The line was recently strengthened for the purpose of keeping Maceo in the west and Gomez in the east The attack was near Poze Redondo, between San Felipe and Bata- bane. General Galvis reports driving the rebels back after a five hours fight, kill ing five and wounding General Castillo, capturing equipments, horses and two prisoners, who told the story of Gomez being wounded.
 From Matanzas is reported today a light with the rebels of NuneZ and Vidal The parties united near the Oceanica es- tate. The troops dispersed their enemies The official losses give four Spaniards killed and three rebels. The Spaniards also report fight at San Cayatean yes terday, defea ting the rebels under Rafael Cardenas. The losses of the insurgents were four dead and three wounded. The Spanish loss is not stated. The trains are running on the Havana and Bata- bane line twice a week to Guanajay and also half way to Matanzas. The Western railroad is entirely Idle.
 The situation in Pinar del Rio province is grave. Nearly all the towns have been invaded and few troops are in the prov ince The capital is practically sur rounded and food is scarce. Conveys have been captured and the escort driven back to the city. Forts and barricades are being erected for defense in case of attack.
 The residents of the interior are fleeing to the coast. The exodus of Cubans from Havana continues, largely due to the fear of extreme measures upon the arrival of Weyler. General Pando has not taken charge of the general field operations, but has gone direct by steamer to San tiago to resume command of the eastern district.
 The rebels eastern columns have not reached Gomez. but are expected daily. There is some talk of a big battle after the reunion, but 1t is doubtful.
 Toledo is the only estate grinding su- gar in the entire island.

 The steel wheel Is rolling smoothly, and there is no sort of doubt 1t will be a go

Snow 10 Feet Deep.

St. Johns, N F., Jan. 25-The worst snow storm in twenty years was experi- enced here during the past four says, and some of the drifts in the streets are 10 feet high. Business is at standstill, and the outlying settlements have not been reached for two or three days, ow- ing to the railway lines being blockaded. All the telegraph lines have been blown down, and the colony was shut off from communication with the outside world.
