The Landslide in Ireland

DUBLIN, Dec. 29.-The danger from
the landslide near Baltimore, county
Kerry, is on the increase. The bog is
still sliding toward the lakes of Kill
larney, its movement being accompa-
MED by sulleD noise that is heard for
miles in all directions. Peasants are
fleeing from their houses and taking
refuge in safer localities, leaving all of
their belongings behind them. Debris
OF houses and trunks of trees destroyed
by the avalanche of earth, together
with the carcasses of cows, sheep, pigs
and other animals, which were plunged
into the River Flesk are now being
swept into the lakes. The river is
choked with earth, rocks, trees, ETC.,
and the water has spread over a large
area. No further loss of life than WIS
reported yesterday-that of the Don
nelly family of nine persons, who were
engulfad in the torrent of earth-is
known to have occurred, but there are
still fears that other persons may have
been caught in the slide and persisted.

addition to the smallpox epidemic at

Hong Kong and though there are not
yet many deaths the plague is increas-
ing and serious results are expected.
A. severe famine is reported from
western China. Floods which have
spread over vast areas Of country have
destroyed almost the entire rice and
vegetable crops. The inhabitants are
dying by scores from starvation and to
add to the horror of it large portion
of Chuantung was carried under the
floods by a landslide and about 5000
of the starving Chinese were drowned.

TUESDAY EVENING, DE :. %, 1856

WHEN the poor man who voted
against his peoples ticket last month
has to pay high tax on the quinine his
doctor prescribes for his wife and child
rem, he may have sense enough to r. :
slize what fool be has made OF himself.
Before the tax was taken oil quinine,
that article sold for four or five dollars
au ounce; now it is very cheap. But
the American manufacturers, who can
afford to sell it at a lower price than
their foreign competitors. are now try
ing to have the old duty on it restored,
and as they contributed literally to
Mr.. Hanna's corruption fund, the re-
publican ways and means committee OF
the U. S. House of Representatives
will probably provide for such o duty
in the new tariff bill they are prepar-
ing. Rich people don't care whether
the price of quinine be high or low,
but those who are poor do, though
many of them don't seem to have done
so last month

Another Highbinder War.

day the body of Lee Hor was found
suspended from rafter in vacant
house in Stockton street. The man
had been stabbed back of the ear before
being hanged. Early yesterday morn
ing q number of men belonging to the
Chinese society of Bow On Tong, way
laid and killed Jew Jing, prominent
Bow Leong Tong map, on Jackson
street between Dupont and Stockton.
All the assassins escaped and so far
there is little clew to their identity.
The trouble is an outcome of the boy
colt of the Sam Yups by the See 9ups.
The remains of Lee Hor, one of the
murdered men, were found in a cottage
mkt door to the Chinese consula te.
The police believe that the Highbinder
war has broken out afresh, and accord
ingly guard was placed about the
consulate last night.

THE TARIEE

The ways and means committee OF
the House of Representatives yester.
day heard representatives Of the
chemical and wine and spirits indus
tries. All who appeared asked for an
Increase of duties.
Thomas A. Cuthbert, of New York,
representing the New York Quinine
and Chemical Works, appeared to ask
restoration of duty of 20 per cent. ad
valorem, which existed prior to the act
of 1890, or its equivalent specific duty.
Quinine is now on the free list. He
said the effect of the tariff reduction
had been most disastrous to the Amer
lean manufacturers, and unless some
thing were soon done, he would have
to 60 out of business. The price had
been reduced since 1879 from S2.75 a
pound to 234 cents per pound.
This reduction was due partly to the
lower tariff, partly to cheaper raw ma
terial. The manufacturer needed the
old duty of twenty per cent. ad valorem
or its specific equivalent of five cents
au ounce. Druggists pay twelve or
fourteen cents q hundred for two grain
pills and charge twenty-five cents for
ten pill boxes, so that the prices to con-
sumers need not be increased.
Mr.. McMillin asked if before quinine
had been placed on the free list Powers
& Weightman and two or three other
firms had not monopolized the business
in the United States.
Mr.. A. II. Jones, speaking for Powers
& Weightman, said that the firm had
been the first to manufacture the ar
ticle in the United States, consequent
ly had controlled the dealing in native
products for time with Rosengarten &
Sons, another pioneer firm. The re-
duction in price bad been mainly due
to the efforts of the British govern
ment in improving the production of
cinchona bark. The prices of quinine
had steadily decreased from the time
the product was put on the free list in
1880 The business would have been
absolutely blotted out in America but
for Mr.. Weighman's determination to
continue it. That firm paid its girls Sc
a week, whereas German manufac.
turers paid twelve and half cents a
day.
Alonzo L. Thompson, of Baltimore,
appeared in behalf of restoration of
the duty on salsoda and soda ash from
one-eighth to one-fourth of cent per
pound. He called attention to the fact
that the decrease of duty had not slim.
ulated Importation. He also asked that
EPSON salts be made dutiable at one
fourth of cent per pound.

so last month

IT REALLY seems as if Southern men
who move North and prosper tn are,
must of necessity change their ideas
we'll as their location. Judge Roger A
Pryor affords the latest illustration OF
this apparent truth. He event TO New
York from Virginia, the land of person
al liberty and religious freedom, ard
vet last week he refused to approve the
certificate of Incorporation of d Hebrew
society, for the assigned reason that its
annual meeting was to be held on Sun
day. Now, the blue laws of Connect
cut nor the puritanical prohibitions OF
Massachusetts could not possibly ex-
coed any such prescription as this on
account of religious opinion. The
Southern colony in the North hasn't
done the South much rood. Almost all
of it's members voted against the South
at the late election.

Double Murder.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. ga
double murder occurred at point two
miles from Seviefville, last night at
eleven o'clock. William Whaley, aged
thirty five and wife, aged thirty, were
shot down in cold blood by two un-
known parties. They came to the
house and without speaking word
broke down the door and walked ID
and shot the couple. Miss Lizzie Nc
Mahon, sister of Mrs. Whaley was
present, but was unhurt. She had an
infant of the Whaley's in her arms
when the men entered. 1t is thought
by many that two men whom Whaiey
had prosecuted by the grand jury, com
mitted the murder. 1t is claimed tn at
white caps, for which Sewer county is
famous, had nothing to do with the
tragedy. Whaley was an honest farm

Failure of a Virginia Bank.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The failure
of the Commercial National Bank of
Roanoke. Va, was made known to the
comptroller of the currency this morn
ing, and Bank Examiner Sands was
placed in charge. The failure is at
tributable to speculation incident to the
Roanoke boom. Comptroller Eckels
says the failure is not important. Ga
November 81, the date of the last re-
port on the condition of the bank, the
assets were 1868, 704, including bords
to secure circulation; stock, 100000;
surplus, $4,000; undivided profits,
$4,000; owing depositors, $4,000;
other liabilities, S35 900.
LATER The failure of the Commercial
Bank was caused by run on the bank yes
ierday. Cashier Davenport resigned on the
goth inst. and turned over the books in good
shape to his successor and returned to his old
home in Charlestown, W. Va. This fact did
not become known until yesterday and is
said to be tn, cause OF the run. 1t is believed
that all liabilities will be paid in full. No
other banks are in the least affected.

The plutocrats of the North persist
in their denial of the patent fact that
the cbasm between the very rich and
the very poor is widening, though that
fact is more glaringly apparent in their
own communities than any where else
in the whole country. But there are
none so blind as those who will not
see. But even worse than this is the
other fact that, owing to special legis-
lation in favor of the rich. the popula-
ton of the country is being rapidly
divided into two classes, the few very
rich and the many very poor.

Mr.. Bryan Speaks.

The large dining-room of the Lincoln
(Nebr.) hotel was tastefully decorated
last night when the It's invited guests
of the Lincoln Travelling Mems Bryan
club sat down to the banquet which was
given in honor of William J. Bryan. In
addition to the address delivered by
Mr.. Bryan, Governor Holcomb. Senator
w. V. Allan and other prominent men
of the State spoke. In response to a
toast Mr.. Bryan said: "The travelling
men are in position to measure the
promises made by the republican party
with the ful6llmeut of those promises.
The public was told that republican
success would restore confidence, and
that confidence was the only thing
lacking. For the eight weeks since the
election the reports show Is business
failures more than for the correspond
ing weeks of 1895. I call attention to
these figures because they show either
that confidence, if restored, has not re-
stored prosperity. The republicans
have promised to restore normal condl-
tions without increasing the volume OF
currency. What they may do hereafter
remains to be seen, but it Is evident
that they have thus far failed to bring
relief to the people"
