POLICE CORRUPTION.
Philadelphia's Force Compares Unfavor
ably with New Yurk's.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. S-The testimony
at yesterdays session Of the senate investi-
eating committee was of decidedly SEN
sational nature, and was directed against
the police in Mayor Warwick's ward, the
Fifteenth. A number of policemen and
eX-poliCemen were examined, the latter
having all been discharged since last
August's delegate election, when the ad-
ministratiOn opposed Senator Quay's cleo
tioh as state chairman. The witnesses not
only told of the active participation of the
police of the ward in politics, but charged
that S1rgeants Green and McManus were
partners during the latter part of 1892 in
maintaining a house Of i'll fame on Green
street. ExPoliceman james w. Naylor
gave this information, and said he was
also partner He said the place broke
up in about three months, and that he and
the sergeants were compelled by the wo-
man who conducted the place, Molly
Blanchard by name, to pay her money
under pain of arrest. The same witness
charged Sergeant Richards with immoral
conduct.
Charges were also made against House
Sergeant William Francis the lieuten-
ants son, of intoxication while on duty
and bringing liquor into the station house
The testimony against the lieutenant was
in the main bearing on his activity in the
recent election, when he is alleged to have
made an active personal canvass for the
administration and to have ordered the
men under him to support the same pow
ers. Many Of those who did not were soon
discharged for most trivial reasons.
It is being claimed by friends Of the
committee that attempts are being made
to intimidato certain witnesses who are
expected to testify. Yesterday Lawyer
Petit was in court and had the notorious
Julia Crows case postponed for one week.
She is under Indictment for keeping a dis
orderly house. and will give sensational
evidence before the committee in relation
to the Second district. She claims she is
now being intimidated by the police. Law
yer Petit also endeavored to have EXPO
liceman John Davis discharged from Gus
tody. Davis was arrested charged with
having sworn falsely before the commit
tee as to his being appointed without pass
ing the civil service examination. Davis
was held in 81, 500 bail for court, which
was promptly furnished.

STILL NEARING HAVANA !
Spain'S Futile Effort to Suppress Cuban
Insurgents.
AN IMPORTANT BATTLE REPORTED.
Supposed to be in the Neighborhood of
Guanajay, Forty-Ave Miles From Havana.
Seven Thousand More Troops
for the Capitals Defense.

HAVANA, Jan. S.-The insurgent band
commanded by Zayas was reported at diff.
ferent times on Monday at Caimito. Hoyo
Colorado and Punta Bravo, showing trqt
he followed pretty closely the line between
the provinces of Pinar del Rio and Ha-
vana up to the extreme northeastern por-
ton of Pinar del Rio. This brought him
into the region into which large numbers
of troops have been sent to guard the
western approach to Havana.
Word has just been received that sounds
of cannon and musketry have been heard
in the neighborhood of Guanajay, an inn
portant town of 1000 inhabitants in Pinar
del Rio, fOrty-five miles southwark of Ha-
vana. 1t is supposed that an engagement
is taking place there between the forces of
General Suarez Valdes and the insur-
gents, but the numbers engaged or the
course which the fortune of the fight is
taking is not known.
The insurgents are burning and destroy
ing up to within eight miles of Havana
The district around the village of Calaba-
Ear suffered yesterday. Calabazar is only
two miles from Vento where the apparatus
is located upon which Havana depends for
its water supply. In the Calabazar and
Hoyo Colorado districts the cane has been
burned in the fields of Maulin, Caro- and
BaraCoa.
The fields of the Valdespino estate havo
been burned and the villages of Puerto la
Guira and Marrero have been put to the
torch, after being plundered, according to
the report received here
The influx of refugees from the whole Of
the territory surrounding Havana con
tinues, and apparently it is not possible to
obtain sufficient means of transportation
to accommodate the fleeing families and
their household goods. The country seems
to be entirely abandoned to the insurgent
army, and no movement apparently avails
to check them.
The eastern portion of the island seems
not to have been entirely stripped of an
effective force of insurgents. A report from
| Santa Clara says that the troops encoun-
tered the insurgent band led by Pancho
| GARLIC, and in the battle which ensued
sustained loss of fifty.
A train from Matanzas, which managed
to get through, brought two generals and
several thousand troops to reinforce the
troops in Havana and strengthen Campos'
new strategic line between this city and
Batabano, broken by Gomez and Collazc
on Sunday as they marched toward PinaI
del Rio. BY strengthening this line Cam
pos now hopes to pen Gomez in the west.

ONE OF POVERTYS NESTS.
Health officer COnry Finds a Family in
Sore Distress.
PROMPT STEPS TAKEN FOR AID !
The Board of Health Holds Special Meet
ing and with the Endorsement Of
Majority of Council Nurse
Hire is Provided.

A special meeting of the Board of Health
was held last evening to take action on
case combining lamentable features of dis
ease and poverty. The members of the
Board present were Messrs. Spalding, Malone
and Miles, Secretary Curtin and Health
Officer COnry. The latter official stated that
his attention was called by Councilman Kane
to the family of George Ringheiser, on East
Oak street. The father is suffering from
typhoid fever, but is in cOnvalescent con-
dition. The mother, who is also victim of
the disease, is in a precarious condition.
Their two children are in the care of friends.
Mr. Conry stated that upon visiting the
house he found Ringheiser and wife without
food, attendance, or the means wherewith to
buy medicine. Friends and ncighbors had
contributed assistance until they felt that
the authorities should take some step.
The Board was at first inclined to believe
that its power in connection with the case
was very limited, but after some discussion
concluded that the scope of its power so far
as preventing the spread of disease covered
the employment Of u nurse where the al-
/ 1ictcd parties are destitute. To avoid any
afterclap, however, it was decided to adopt Il
resolution cmbodying the circumstances of
the case and calling upon the borough Coun-
ell for an endorsement of any action the
Health Officer might take towards employ
ing a nurse. Armed with this document
Mr.. Conry called upon several Of the Coun-
cilmen last mig hit and this morning and Sc
cured the endorsement of COuncilmeu Nc
Guire, Boehm, Kerns McElhenny, Dough-
erty, O'Brien, Magargle and Stmughn. He
then employed female nurse to attend Mrs.
Ringheiser and having obtained temporary
supply of medicine and food, went to Maize
vile to requst that Poor Director Middleton
issue an order for any other relief that may
he required in the case Under the action
the borough need only be responsible for the
nurse hire.
The Health Officer has also reported that

manufacturing Is done by laberefs
who are no better than slaves. It
is the grandest theme of exultation
for the true American to proclaim
the dignity Of labor under our free
institution. By proper protection
the man who tolls in the factory
may ever be as independent and re-.
fined as the artisans or the mem.
bers Of the industrial professions.
There are, now in this country,
mechanics aud skilled laborers Of
many classes who enjoy all the
blessings ofrefued society. These
are the worlds workers O~ho are
protected by their superior qualifi.
cations from competitors. In
these we have the ideal laborer.
By protection. the republicans
would elevate all men, even the
humblest walks of life to this
estate. Free commercial inter.
course distrovs the hope of individ-
ual independence among the labor
ing classes and reduces The great
majority of our people to life OF
industrial slavery. For these req.
sons the question Of protection to
American labor is held to be para
mount by the true republican and
the silver question is secondary.
The advocates Of protection are
our best students ofpolitical econ
omy and they draw the balance
with precision. The free silver
idea is universal in the west, but
it is subordinate to the idea OF pro.
lection and it will so be held by
the great mass of republicans.

The argument is advanced

The argument is advanced tina,
free silver is for the mine owners
and that the mine owners are
largely foreign capitalists. This
assertion is untrue, but if the milne
owners were foreigners the benefit
Of the labor would belong to this

eigners, but the country reaps the
benefits of the business of nauufac-

The M argins Of profit in mining is
not always large. The wages paid
are high and that fact warrants
prosperity to all mining districts.
Silver legislation would be for the
wage earners, farmers and mer.

owner would still he speculative

MY estimate of the value of a

is that protection not only builds
up important industries from small

other industries flourish or Ian.
guish in proportion as protection

have seen it indispu,ably proved
that prosperity Of the farmer, mer-
chant. and all other classes Of cit.
liens goes hand in hand with that
of the manufacturer aud mechanic.
II am firmly persuaded that
what We ueed most of all to re.
move the business paralysis tina,
afflicts this county is the restora-
ton of a policy that, while afford
ing ample revenue to meet the ex.

open American workshops on full
time and full handed with their op-
eratives paid good wages in honest
dollars. And this can only come
under tariff which will hold the
interests OF our own people para.
mount in our political aud com.
mercial systems.
The opposing policy, which dis.
courages American enterprise, re-
duces labor 20 idleness, diminishes
the earnings of American workmen,
opens our markets to commodities
from abroad which we should pro-
ducc at home, while closing for.
eign markets against our products,
aud which at the same time stead.
