New York, Dec. 16.-A petition
to congress to put an end to the rev.

I'VE, the undersigned citizens of

practiced upon the people of Cuba
by the monarchy of Spain.
Tho civilized world stands aghast
at the atrocities committed there
under the guise of law, many of
which are committed upon citizens
of this country, and therefore call
for intervention on its part, and do
respectfully pray that the congress
OF the United States take cognizance
of the fact that war is now be:no
waged In Cuba. that the people there,
fore may enjoy political freedom
and that the people of Cuba in their
efforts for success have the svmpa

Fifty Shots Exchanged.

Ft. Scott, Kan, Dec. 16.-Cbief
of police Robertson and two patrol.
men of this city engaged in pitch
ed battle with six desperate men,
supposed to be crooks from Kansas
City, this evening. The men were
camped near this city and had stolen
goods in their possession.
About fifty shots were exchanged
two Of the fellows were captured
and the other four escaped, but it is
thought one is shot in the hip. The
police went out to arrest the men
who opened fire on them from be
hind trees. The officers returned
the fire and the battle continued un
til every officer had exhausted his
ammunition.
With two captives and part OF
the robbers clothing the police re
treated and hurried to town after
more effective weapons. They were
reinforced by other police and rail.
road detectives armed with Win.
chester rifles. The robbers fed from
the recruits and were pursued for a
mile, when they escaped in a thick
timber just at dark. Great excite
ment was created throughout the
city.

Colorado Senator Ridicuies the Idea Of

Colorado Senator Ridicuies the Idea Of
Tariff on Silver.
Washington, ID. c., Dec 16.-Sen-
ator Teller, asked today for his
opinion of the proposition which it
has been stated will be Incorporated
in the new tariff bill for a duty on
silver, replied: at is very foolish
idea. If they think they can catch
the silver men by such sop as that
they are mistaken. 1t would only
emphasize the claim of the gold
men that silver is mere commodity.
If duty OF 80 cents per ounce was
placed on silver it would not raise
the price of silver cent The price
of silver is fixed abroad where it is
used. The only silver that is im
ported in this country is from
Mexico, from which this country
makes profit in handling. That is
all right and there can be no objac
tion to it, The silver thus imported
is shipped out again. The price OF
silver is fixed by the countries which
use it for money and in the arts. We
don't use more than ten millions in
arts
The hearing to be given by the
ways and means committee on the
tariff question promises to attract an
even greater number of business

1t will be practically impossible for

to the subject. The committee ex

Galliopolis, O., Dec. 16.-A report
has just reached here of horrible
accident which occurred last night
at Porter. William Stevens had
brought home a quantity of giant
powder to dry, and putting it on a
chair near the fireplace, went about
doing odd jobs. His children saw
the explosive, and thought they
would amuse themselves by casting
some of it into the fire. In SO doing
the drying powder was ignited, and
the house set fire. The mother was
seriously burned aud fled, as did
Stevens. When they were once out
of the flames they failed to find the
children, aud realizing they would
perish unless rescued. the bold faith
er fought his way through the flames
and recovered the bodies of his
three children, almost burned to a
crisp. The house and contents were
consumed by the flames.

Expose Hanna's Method.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 16.-The
silver democrats and the populists
propose to secure action On Senator
Aliens resolution providing for an
investigation of the methods employ
ed in the recent presidential cleo
ton. No attempt will be made to
press the matter, however, until af
ter the holidays. Then it will be
brought up and action demanded.
1t is in the power Of the silver
men to take the resolution up aud
pass it, in spite of any opposition
the republicans may offer. Most of
the republicans. however, feel that
they cannot consistently refuse to
support the resolution because of
the bad light it would put them in
before the country. is the inten-
ton of the silverites to uncover
some of Mark Hanna's methods in
the campaign, and to pay especial
attention to the pivotal states,
where money flowed like water, and
in the vote of the republicans was
phenomenally large. That the in
vestigation will develop sensational
features is expec.d by Senator Allen
and those who support the resolu-
tions.

The Governors Patronage.

1t is not generally known perhaps
that the Governor of the great State
Of Missouri has not as much patron
age at his command as the Mayor of
the city of St Louis. 1t would be
better for his personal popularity if
be had none whatever. The follow
ing are the principal offices. with
annual salaries to be filed by him,
some of which not without the con
sent OF the Senate:
Private Secretary, salary $4,000;
Superintendent of Insurance, salary
$4,000; Adjutant General, $4,000;
Warden of the penitentlary, S2,25O,
with furnished house, servants, fuel
and light; Commissioner of bureau
OF labor statistics, $4,000; Excise
Commissioner of the city of St
Louis, So for each license issued.
This is considered the best office
within the gift of the Governor.
Police commissioners of St Louis,
Kansas City and St. Joseph, 81, 900
each; coal oil inspector of St. Louis,
fees said to amount to $4,000; State
Geologist, $4,000; Inspector of to
bacco, fees amounting probably to
$1,000. The other appointments are
Curaters, Regents, and Managers of
asylums with only salary of 500
and expenses.
1t is true that he has many vacan-
cies to fill in case of resignation or
death. But it is singular fact that
during the last twenty-five years,
covering the administrations of Har
din. Phelps, Crittenden, Marmaduke,
Francis and Stone, only one Judge
OF the Supreme court, Ephraim B
Ewing. and one United States Sena
tor, Lewis V. Bogy, have died while
in office. And, during the same
period, only one other State officer
proper has been removed by death,
Gov. Marmaduke, and none have
resigned.
While the office of Governor of
Missouri is growing in Importance
and dignity. yet the little patronage
attached to it is really a burden, and
it requires the diplomacy of Tally
rand for the occupant to 60 out with
the same popularity at the time he
was inaugurated Jefferson CITY

MUST READ AND WRITE.
Senate Passes the Lodge Bill
to Restrict immigration.
NO ILLiTERATES NEED APPLY.
Only Those Versed in Letters Can
Gam Admission UeIe.

Only Those Yersed in Letters Can
Gam Admission Here.
Washington, ID. G., Dec. 17.-The
Senate today passed the immigration
bill, with new section, providing
that the exclusion shall not apply to
persons arriving from Cuba during
the continuance OF the present dis
orders there. The strength of the
bill was greater than had been Ok
pected, the final vote being So to 10.
As passed, the bill amends the
immigration laws so as to exclude
from admission to the United States
all persons over 1G years Of age,who
can not read and write the language
OF their native country or some other
language. but an admissible immi
grant, over the age OF 1G, may bring
IN with him, or send for, his wife or
parent or gradparent or minor child
rem or grandchild, notwithstanding
their inability to read and write.
For the purpose of testing the
ability of the immigrant to read and
write, as required by the foregoing
section, the inspection Office shall be
furnished copies of the constitution
of the United States, printed on
numbered uniform pasteboard slips,
each containing five lines of the con-
stitution, printed in the various Ian
guages of the immigrants in double
small plea type. These slips shall
be kept in boxes made for that pur-
pose, and so constructed as to con
ceal the slips from view, each box to
contain slips Of but one language,
and the immigrant may designate
the language in which he prefers the
test shall be made. Each immigrant
shall be required to draw one of
these slips from the box and read,
and afterward write out in full view
of the immigration officers, the five
lines printed thereon. Each slip
shall be returned to the box immedi
ately after the test is finished, and
the contents OF the box shall be
taken up by an inspector before an
other drawing is made.
No immigrant failing to read and
write out the slip thus drawn by him
shall be admitted; but he shall be
returned to the country whence he
came at the expense of the steam
ship or railroad company which
brought him, as now provided by
law. The inspection officers shall
keep in each box at all times, full
number of these printed pasteboard
slips, and in the case of each exclud
ed immigrant, shall keep a certified
memorandum of the number of
the slip, which the immigrant failed
to read or copy out inwriting.
The Cuban section added to the
bill provides that the act shall not
apply to persons arriving in the
United States FROM any port or place
in the Island of Cuba during the
continuance of the present disorders
there, provided that such persons
have heretofore been inhabitants of
that island.
An amendment by Mr.. Elkins pro.
posing $40 head tax on immi.
grants coming in other than Ameri.
can ships, occasioned considerable
debate, and was finally tabled, as
We're several other amendments.
The immigrant measure now goes
into conference, the bill passed to.
