The apportionment bill passed by
the late session of the legislature will
perhaps give as good satisfaction as is
possible in a measure of that char
acter. An honest effort to make the
districts as nearly uniform in popula-
tion as possible is manifest. In the
formation of senate districts the
assembly district was taken as the
unit and county lines ignored. The
latter proposition met with the most
determined opposi tion on the part of
some members, but we fail to see how
equality of population can be main
tanned unless county lines be ignored
in the formation of senatorial
districts.

election Of United States senator's by

to the late contest in Delaware and
the present disgraceful scramble in
Kentucky as instances of the corrupt

1t might have added several notable
instances in Wisconsin where the
popular will has been overruled by

BOND SYNDICATE BUSTED"
The New York Life Insurance Company With drew and Others Will Follow Suit-A
 Statement Expected From Them.

New York, Jan. 1.-The withdrawal of the New York Life Insurance company from the Morgan bond syndicate follow ing so closely on the heels of the Chemi- cal bank, started a run,or that the Nor gan syndicate will send out formal mo- tice of its dissolution today. It is im- possible to obtain any official confirma- tion, and at the office of J. P. Morgan 6 Co, it was said that MT. Morgan had not got down yet. There was no defec- tion reported this morning, but the gen eral belief is that further withdrawals will be made during the day.
 The report current this morning that the Morgan syndicat would issue a formal notice of It's dissolution this after noon did not materialze. It is learned, however, that some of the leading mem bers of the syndicate met informally to- day and decided that hereafter they would act in their individual capacity so far as bidding for the new bonds is concerned. Owing to the absence of the head of the syndicate, Mir Morgan, nothing of any official character could be obtained, but it is reasonably certain that on Monday next there will be a state ment of some sort from the syndicate. The opinion of the banking circles today is that the announcement will be to the effect that the syndicate. in view of re- cent developments. considers 1t best to dissolve, leaving each member to file his own bid with the secretary of the treas ury.

ORlENTALS REUNITED.
Blrmingham's Two Armenian Visitors Joined
 by Their Wives,

The wives of the Armenians, Hoshhosh and Delgerion. arrived last night in the city They escaped from ill-fated Ar menia and landed in New York recently. From the metropolis they came to Bir- mingham, where they joined their hus- bands. They visited the State Herald office last night with their husbands and gave their names as Giluza and Almas. They came in war-like attire, with full accoutrements and short skirts; in fact armed cap-a-pie. Almas is quite pretty. Her features are regular and her com plexion is as fair as a lily's. When she smiles, displaying a beautiful set of white teeth, she seems anything but a Amazon ian; yet the knives in their belts have human blood on them from the Armenian wars. Ia#f-.
 Will you four return to your native iand? asked the reporter of Hoshhosh.
 "No," exclaimed he vehemently in mingled broken English and massacred American. "No, indeed. D-n the sul- tan, murdering, burning our wives and homes. I would kill him if could see him. They would kill me at once if went back, but I won't. We four will stay in America ..as
 How long will you be in Birming- ham?"
 Two or three days. We will give performance during that time showing the Armenian custom of living and their manner of fighting You see our women fight with us. Of course I understand that's not like the Armenian women but ours are trained for the war just as the men are."

DoNNeLLx & GlRARD'S GREAT FUN.

The cyclone scene in the second act of "The Rainmakers" which is to be pre- sented in this city on Thursday evening at O'Brien's, is one of the most wonder full pieces of stage realism ever produced. The comedians, Donnely and Girard, in the guise of sports, steal the explosives and paraphernalia of a genuine rain making scientist and start out to do busi- ness on their own account, although they are profoundly ignorant of the uses of have secured. Their first patron is an actor, who desires shower at his coun- try home. The price is agreed upon and the bogus rainmakers begin operations by setting off the entire explosives, dyna- mite bombs, rockets. mortars and all. The result Is scarcely what they antici- pated, for 0 deluge of rain follows, and with 1t comes a thunder storm that makes the earth tremble. Then comes a cyclone of terrific force. Houses are blown away, fences go a-kiting skyward and in a few seconds scene of appall- ing devastation and wreck ensues. Withal it is a stage masterpiece of real ism, yet so funny that 1t convulses the audience with laughter. From the rise of the curtain to the close of the play there isn't dull minute in 1t.

A LETTER FROM GOMEZ.

He Is Sure That the Revolution Will Be
 Successful.
 Washington, Jan. 11.-Thomas Estrada Palma, the Cuban party's representative in the United States. is in receipt of the following letter from the insurgent gen. eral, Maxine Gomez:
 Headquarters of the Cuban Army, in Campaign Sugar Plantation Empresa, Matanzas, December 31, 1S95.-Thomas Estrada Palma, Esq.-My Dear Friend: l wrote you few lines yesterday and 1 write these in addition ak night, as it is the only time I have to spare, and after hard days work. We have had three combats with the enemy today and we have won all three and have been doubly successful. for we have thus broken through their lines and are marching for- ward, notwithstanding the great efforts of the enemy to prevent 1t and all the desperate means they are employing in order to drive us back. This territory successfully invaded by us, triumphant revolution, is full of the most exalted pa- triotism, mixed with surprise, as they did not expect this rapid invasion. The torch I am sorry to say, is producing its effect not among the strong minded, be- cause they have always been with the revolution, but with the weak, who are now opening their eyes to the true situa- tion of the country. They realize that the decisive moment has arrived and that true patriotism should stop at no sacri- flee, for If they shed their blood generous ly, with greater reason they should rage the country to the ground if 1t Is neces- sary to thus obtain the victory. because our dignity and self-respect are pledged in the heroic struggle which is to redeem Cuban people from the tyranny of Spain. It is not possible, my friend. that so many accumulated hardships of our suf- fering people should not some day have their reward, which is a natural conse- quence that great justice metes out to all in their rightful due. We are doing all in our power here. leaving all else to fortune. I am more than ever sure that we will be successful and you can so state to the world. whose sympa thies must be with nation fighting for its in- dependence. M. GOMEZ"
