NO CONFIDENCE In BOWELL.
Foster Tells Why the Canadian Min
listers Observation-Disclosures Reason.

OTTAWA, Ontario. Jan. Tin the House
Of Commons this afternoon Hon. G. 4.
Foster, lately Minister Of Finance. made
statement in reference TO the causes which
had actuated himself and six colleagues in
resigning their positions as Cabinet men,
bers. The sole reason given was that the
seeding ministers had no confidence in Sir
Mackenzie Bowell's leadership. They con-
tended, said Mr.. Foster that Sir Mackenzie
Bowel was incompetent to lead the govern
ment. Mr.. Foster stated lthat the question
of granting remedial legislation to re-es-
tablish separate schools in Manitoba had
nothing to do with the designations. Despite
Mr.. Fosters explanations, ii is not generally
believed here that mere want of confidence
in the leadership of Sir Mackenzie Bowel
was the sole cause Of the resignation of
the seven ministers. The latter are all
Professionals and represent Protestant con-
stituencies. Had they retained office they
would have been forced to vote for remedial
legislation and in the election that is to
take place in few months would nave been
defeated
Sir Mackenzie Bowel made a statement
in the Senate tonight TO the effect that he
would go on with remedial legislation. He
stigmatiZed the action of the seven min
listers who seeded as unfair, undignified
and uncalled for 1t Is not thought probable
that Sir Mackenzie's government will not
be able to carry on remedial legislation.

pairs OF pants, three coats and an over
coat, besides some razors that had been
stolen from barber shop. One of the men
gave his name as Joseph Larimore, of Lo-
gansport. When left at the jail Larimore

COURTS PROSECUTION.
The World Is Evidently Pleased with
the NOtoriety II Has Gained.

NEW YORK. Jan. 7.-Concerning the pro-
ceedings OF the Senate to-day the World
will tomorrow say enditorially: Senator
Lodge yesterday relieved the dreariness
OF political debate and added to the gayety
OF nations by quoting in the Senate the
celebrated Section 5ss5. This is undoubtedly
the law 1t is on the statute books. 1t Is
Section 1896. 1t is reinforced by Section
Sll3. OF the same era, which forbids cor
respondence with foreign governments to
incite the Indians to raids the settlers.
1t is unquestionably the duty of Secretary
Olney to enforce this law. He should pun
ish with the full severity of its penalties
not fine or Imprisonment, but fine and i'm
prisonment-anyone who has willfully vio-
lated IL. The World pleads guilty in al-
vance TO having, without the permission
or authority Of Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Olney,
carried on intercourse by cable with Lord
Salisbury, the Prince OF Wales and Duke
OF York, the Rothschilds and other foreign
dlgnitaries. The statute cited is aged Oh
solete. moldy, moth-eaten, dust-covered. and

Special to the indianapolis Journal.


ANDERSON, Ind, Jan. THE fatal ex-
plosion Of natural gas in Alexandria on the
last day Of March, which destroyed the
Whitesides block. has been recalled by a
series Of damage suits filed in the Circuit
Court to-day against the Alexandria Mining
and Exploring Company, whose mains
passed the wrecked building and furnished
the supply of gas. There are five COM
plants aggregating $4,000. Three of the
suits are brought by John Irish as admin
istrator for Ora Ball. Charles Hoover and
Harry Boyer. all of whom were killed.
The others are by Hiram Heard and Will
liam Pyle, who were badly injured in the
wreck 1t Is held that the company ope-
rated a high pressure main through the
street and that the main was known to
be rusty and rotten. The gas that caused
the explosion came from leak in the main.
This is the second time the cases have
been before the courts. At Upton, where
they were taken on a change of venue,
the plaintiffs were awarded $500 and the
decision appealed.

an exceedingly low rate. With this distribu-
ton of arc and incandescent lights, and
counting the incandescent lights used in

the city makes profit from tie plant

Before the city purchased the plant rates

as now and the city paid 500 year for each

BLOWN UP OR FOUNDERED.
Steamer WfldfOwl and Thirty Live
Supposed to Have Been Lost


PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Jan. 1.-THE WELL
known British tank steamer Widfower,
Captain Stonewall, which sailed from Phil
adelphia Dec. II for Rouen, France, with
1.173,626 gallons of crude oil in bulk, valued
at s59,653. and manned by a crew of thirty
men all told. is believed to have blown up
or foundered at sea and all hands persisted,
no tidings having been received from the
ship since she left the Delaware breakwater
that day. She probably met with disaster
when not far from these shores by the
memorable gale OF Dec. II. which is thought
to have sent to the bottom the Stag Line
steamship Laurestina. which left the same
day bound for Sligo. Ireland laden with
grain. Tonight Secretary Sherwood, of the
Maritime Exchange, received a cablegram
from London requesting information re-
gardng the missing Wildfower, but moth
ing is known here concerning her since
Dec. IL. A subsequent cable from London
states that the Wildhower has been re-
insured at thirty guineas premium, which
is Indicative that, in England, hopes have
almost vanished.
The Wildfiower was among the first tank
ers built and was made famous over both
continents by the service she rendered the
North German Lloyd steamship Ems sew
eral years ago. She fell in with the Ems
with her machinery broken down. laden
with over 1,50O immigrants and a valuable
cargo, and towed her into Fayal, for which
she received a handsome salvage award.
The craft was at that time in command of
Captain Livingstone. She is owned in Lon
don by A. Stuart. who owned the Ale
ghany, ship OF similar description, which
was run down and sunk in Delaware
bay oct. !, 1894. By the Belgian steamship
Caucas. She was built in Sunderland by
r. Thompson & Sons in 1884, and is 1,16S
tons register, 300 feet long, 40 feet beam,
eighteen and one-half feet deep The en-
gines are 259 indicated horsepower II is
stated that the Wildfower Is valued at
$4,000 and is fully covered by insurance
