WANAMAKER
ON PROSPERITY,

The New York Herald of Tuesday con-
tanned an iterview with John Wanamaker
which was in part as follows:
"To keep work for the 5000 and more
persons in my employ and turn away
from the several hundred who apply
daily and beg for the privilege of labor to
keep the wolf from the door drives me
into fever, and must speak out Any
citizen has that right.
Il cannot sit on fence, with stiff
wind blowing, and whistle for prosperity,
the vanished bird of beautiful p!umage, to
come back. She has been gone for five
long years.
I'm these times campaign speeches are
only empty shells without kernels. How
ever well meaning or whoever it is who
thinks he does good by them must be for
getting that a million of workmen and
their children are hungry. The man who
looks for bread in such speeches will not
have much to eat.
"The public heart cannot be fired Inv
eloquence in this way just now, for the
powder of patriotism is wet with the
tears of suffering unemployed. Give ME
hold of somebody's hand who will do
something, not talk about it month after
month.
I'VE ought to have new, better
tariff; but if we cannot get it let us settle
down on the old one and adjust ourselves
to it as best we can. If we cannot move
out of the old house we might build a
wing to it or add another story Far better
that than veXing uncertainties
"a republican House has been in session
since last December, and its riddled bill
still losses about at the end of the Capitol
If there is any through train in Congress
the country would shout for Joy to see
the tariff get aboard of it. If there ever
was occasion to put on a special it is now.
gathering ourselves together also on
the monetary question cannot be done
too soon. There is no use sending dele
cations to foreign nations until we have
some definite proposition to make. Let
authority be given Immediately for a
monetary commission to determine what
the United States wants to do on the
money question, and then let us go after
it and get it as promptly as possible"

A CHICAGO CRIME.

Chicago, April 15.-Herbert Richard
son, an employee of the Parmelee Trans
fer company, who was found in the
street early Monday morning dying with
a bullet wound in his head, was murd-
cred. At first it was thought to be a
case Of suicide. Detectives have discov-
cred that Richardson, who lived at the
Grand Central hotel, was disliked by
him Of being a member of the A. P. A.
and a spy upon them. 1t is asserted he
was several times threatened with in
jury on this account. February l6 he
had a fight with a boarder over poll
tical and religious differences. Miss
Miller, Richardson's fiancee, told the de-
tectives that he had told her that he
feared for his life because of his being
looked upon al an A. P. A. spy. The
death wound was four inches back of
the right ear, in a place where it would
have been impossible for the dead man
to have inflicted it. At the inquest it
was shown that both Of Richardson's
eyes were blackened and that his face
had received other bruises such as
would be inflicted in a fight. The fact
that Richardson's v%aluables were not
disturbed convinces the detectives the
murder was committed for the purpose
OF revenge.

SUFFERlNGS AT THE FRONT,
Terrible Scenes That Followed the Battle
Of Cold Harbor.

Terrible Scenes That Followed tho Battle
of Cold Harbor.
General Horace Porter, in Cam
paigning With Grant" in The Century,
telling of the the battle of Cold Har-
Dor, says:
The general in chief realized that he
was i'll a swampy and sickly portion Of
he country. The malaria was highly
productive of disease, and the Chicka-
hominy fever was dreaded by all the
troops who had a recollection Of its
ravages when they campaigned in that
section Of the country two years before.
The operations had been so active that
precautions against sickness had necea-
sarily been much neglected, and the
general was anxious, while giving the
men some rest, to improve the sanitary
conditions. By dint of extraordinary
exertions the camps were well policed
and large quantities of fresh vegetables
were brought forward and distributed.
Cattle were received in much better
condition than those which had made
long marches and had furnished beef
which was far from being wholesome.
Greater attention was demanded in the
cooking Of the food and the procuring
of Letter water. Dead animals and offal
were buried, and more stringent sani-
tary regulations were enforced through
out the entire command.
What was most distressing at this
time was the condition of affairs at the
extreme front. No one who did not wit
ness the sights on those portions Of the
line where the opposing troops were in
exceptionally close contact can form an
idea of the sutferings experienced. Stai
officers used to work their way on foot
daily to the advanced points, so as to
be able to report with accuracy these
narrowing scenes. Some of the sights
We're not unlike those of the bloody
angle at Spottsylvania. Between tho
lines where the heavy assaults had been
made there was in some places q dis
lance of 80 or 40 yards completely cov-
cred by the dead and wounded of both
sides. The bodies of dead were fostering
in the sun. while the wounded were dy-
ing a %tortuling death from starvation,
thirst and loss Of blood. In seine places
the stencil became sickcning. Every at
tempt TO Innkc Il change i'll the picket
line brought on heavy firing, as both
sides had become nervous from long
watchfulncss, and the slightest move
mcnt Oh either front led to the belief
that it was the beginning of an assault.
In the night there was often heavy ar
tillery firing, sometimes accompanied by
muskctIy, with Il view to lettering the
other side from attacking, or occasioned
by false lulnors of an attempt to as
sault. The men on the advanced lines
had to lie close to the ground in narrow
trenches. with little water for drinking
purposes except that obtained from sur
face drainage. They were subjected to
the broiling heat by day and the chill
ing winds and foSs at night and had to
eat the rutions that could be got to then
under the greatest imaginable disco0-
fort.

THE MISSISSIPPI.
More Tan %, 1000 People Will Soon Have
to Be Fed.

Memphis, Tenn, April 15.-While the
condition Of affairs In the overlooked
Mississippi delta IL reported better to-
night, the situation between V~icksburg
and New Orleans is causing the greatest
apprehension. The river continues to
rise in the Louisiana levee district and
weak spots in the levee are being
strengthened and watched day and
night. o. e. S%tibblefield, county cores
pondent of the United States agricul-
tural department at indianapolis, Miss,
says the suffering in Sunflower county,
which forms part Of the delta, has been
greatly alleviated and that most of the
county now is dry. Farmers are busy
blowing and planting cotton and if mat
ters grow no worse that county will not
require any assistance from the govern
ment.
Statistics OF the number Of flood suf-
ferers in Bolivar county have been COM
piled by a committee appointed to look
after the distribution of government
provisions. They show 1000 people
who are now or soon will have to be fed
by the hand Of charity, in addition to
5000 head of live stock. The water at
Rosedale has not yet receded. The
weather throughout the delta Is clear
and pleasant. At Helena the situation.
is unchanged. At a large meeting Of
property owners Of the city 1t was decid-
ed to begin the erection Of a new leyee
around the city. At Memphis the water
rose one-tenth Of a foot in "a hours end
ing tonight.

FLOOD AT KANSAS CITY.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 1.-two
miles up the river the Burlington tracks
are endangered and above Kansas City,
Kansas, the Missouri Pacific tracks are
only a little above the current. The
river is also getting dangerously neal
the Maple Leaf trestle. The last fami-
lies on Lewis island, a small place at
the mouth Of the Kansas river, have
moved out. The place is entirely sub
merged and the water at the lowest
points almost touches the eaves OF the
huts. Harlem, across the river, Is in a
state Of excitement as a very slight rise
will bring the flood into town.

One day, at the Academy OF Sciences,
4 position which Pasteur took was ac-
lively controverted by two men who
knew not a 1.-THE Of what he knew OF the
subject. He heard them patiently. and
then rose and with much animation an
swered them. to the satisfaction of ev-
cry one present, but warmed up with the
controversy, he concluded: Do you
know what you lack? You"-indicat-
ing one OF them-"lack the power Of OBJ
servation, and you'-the other-"lack
the reasoning faculty." Pasteur was
rebuked by the president for exceeding
the proper limits, and he saw that the
rebuke was just. Il am sorry" he said:
II was carried away by the heat Of the
discussion. 1 beg the pardon Of the
members to whom l have referred, and
OF this honorable body" Every one
smiled at the frankness Of this apology.
Then Pasteur added: Having recog-
nized my fault, may I not mention an
extenuating circumstance in my favor?
All that l said was true-absolutely
true!" And he seemed to wonder that
everybody present laughed. including
his two opponents.

MANY TURKS KILLED.

London, April ia special dispatch
from Constantinople says that in the
last encounter between the Greek irreg-
ulars and the Turkish regular troops,
the latter lost 24O killed and wounded.
The dispatch adds that Edhem Pasha,
the Turkish commandments, has
telegraphed to the Turkish authorities
at Constantinople that unless he is ord
cred to cross the frontier and take up a
position on the plains of Thessaly, his
present position is untenable, owing to
the constant attacks Of the Greek in
surgents, who have entered the Turkish
lines by stealth, and also in conse-
quence Of the excitement among the
troops, especially the Albanians.
The Turkish ministers, It Is further
announced, have informed the sultan
that war should be declared gainst
Greece. The sultan. who objects to war,
has not yet replied to this recommends
ton OF his ministers.

NORTH OMAHA
In a Vast Flood Of Yellow Water
Strong North Wind Blows.

Omaha, Neb., April 15.-When the
sun went down tonight his last light
fell On a vast waste Of water, whose
yellow waves tossed high by the strong
breeze from the north all day rolled ov-
er what, last week were fields and gar
dens and dooryards. All day the torrent
poured from the Missouri across North
Omaha's gardens into Florence and Cut
of lakes. The former has lost it's iden-
tity in the general flood and the latter
may soon. Tonight it Is seven feet
higher than it was on Tuesday morning,
and is surely cutting away the dykes
that hold 1t back from sweeping to join
the Missouri and turn the long abandon
ed ourse of that stream again into a
race.

THE TARIFF COMMITTEE.

Washington, d. c., April 15.-The re-
publican committee on finance held an
all day session ut the capitol today TO
afford ar opportunity to other senator's
to make suggestions on the tariff. Sen-
ators Baker and Harris asked for a duty
OF 81 per ton on Gypsum and for a de-
crease of the duty proposed on Mexican
cattle. They represented that there were
immense beds Of Gypsum in the west
sufficient to supply the wants Of the en-
tire country. With reference to cattle
importations, they represented that cat.
tie were needed to consume the grass
crop Of the west and hat it was more
economical to move cattle than grass
During the day a number of republican
senator's from the inter-mountain states
met to agree upon a plan OF co-opera-
ton. They reached 40 definite conclu-
sion except to. stand together in their
demands for wool, hides, cattle, lead,
ore and other Rocky mountain products,

is further stated the Albians are desert

Olympus and are escaping into Thes-
sally and are joining the Greek forces.

ceived and has been executed with skill.
SOLDIERS EVERYWHERE.
Every strategic point is occupied by
troops, soldiers are to be seen every
where. all the horses and cattle have
been requisitioned for the use of the
army and the drilling of the recruits
lasts from daylight until dusk.
Cavalry patrols cover all the frontier,
but the Greeks and the Christian pheas-
ants on the other side of the frontier
have an intelligence department which
no money Of skill could organize and
the Greek commanders are kept well in
formed of all that is going on across the
frontier.
Kalambaka, on the Greek left, not far
from the Albanian frontier, is another
important position of the Greeks. A
military road from Kalambaka Of Vel
emitza on the frontier has just been
completed. At Velemitza are the only
passes from Haliaomon valley and the
Greeks have 5000 men in that vicinity
ready to meet the Turkish advance.
On the Turkish side there is no road
beyond Vaskala, where some Turkish
troops are stationed. This country and
these passes are said to be the scene OF
the passes Of Alexander the Great. when
he crossed to the destruction Of Thebes.
The Greeks are depending on the
mountain work on the Euzoni, or armed
mountaineers OF Greece, whose strength,
skill and endurance are we'll known.

city flock into town with their belong
ings. fearing the outbreak Of war.

KANSAS CITY INcENDIARIEs.

kansas City, Mo-, April 15.-Conclus-
i've proof that at least one or two of last
night's fires were started by incendiarles
was developed today In the finding of
kerosene saturated bundles Of RACES,
ETC., in the ruins. As yet no clue to the
firsbugs has been found. The aggregate
loss on the different buildings will
amount to about $4,000, with insur-
ance Of about t%wo-thirds that amount.
The general opinion among business
men today is that the gamblers and
hoodlums OF the city are responsible for
the fires and acted In a spirit of revenge
against the newly appointed board Of
police commissioners and Chief Of Po-
lice vallins, who has been pushing q
crusade against all evil doors. This be-
lief Is strengthened BY the fact that the
scarritt estate, owned principally by POI
lice Commissioner Searritt, suffered the
heaviest loss. Since the days Of "Lex-
ON" investigation, gamblers and "touts'
have been heavily fined Or driven to 9TH
er cities, and they have repeatedly made
open threats against the city oflciab.
The last effort Of the fncendhries was
an attempt 1t burning , two-story brick
building ut 504 Broadway, occupied
principally by the Consumer Grocery
company, . Wholesale concern. Papers
saturated with oil had been pushed On

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL
is CONSIDERED IN THE
SENATE.
Senator Vest OF Missouri Favors Sec
tartan Control OF Indian Schools
The Senate Finance Committee Has
Il Sitting Upon the Tarif-Western
Senators Stand Together.

Washington, April 15.-The senate
spent today considering the Indian ap-
preparation bill. but did not complete
1t. Early in the session the proceedings
were made executive and when the
doors were again open to the public the
Indian bill again came up. The pend
ing question was on the committee
amendment, opening the U~ncompaghre
Indian reservation in Utah to public en-
try. Mr.. Jones OF Arkansas, withdrew
the point of order he had made, and on
a yea and nay vote the amendment was
agreed to 80 to 10. The amendment Is
as follows:
That the mineral lands OF the I'm
compaghre Indian reservation in the
State of Utah, are hereby declared open
ed to public entry under the mineral
Ian laws Of the United States, and no
person shall be allowed to make more
than one claim on the lands containing
gilsonite and on and after January l.,
1898, all the said reservation, unallotted
to Indians. shall be open to public entry
under the land laws OF the United
States.'
Mr.. Gallinger. republican Of New
Hampshire, moved to strike out the pro-
vision giving tribal relations to children
Of a white father and Indian mother.
He declared that provision would per-
nit adventures to marry Indian Wo-
men as a matter Of speculation and ulti-
mately to dominate the Indian. Mr..
Berry, democrat of Arkansas, defended
the provision on the ground that it re-
moved the penalty now placed on an In
dian woman for marrying a white man.
On motion Of Mr.. Gallinger a provision
as to children of a white father and In
dian mother was modified SO as to give
these children tribal rights on consent
Of the majority Of the tribe and consent
Of the secretary Of the interior.
Mr.. Vest Of Missouri, spoke in criti-
cism of the provision Of the bill abol-
ishing sectarian Indian schools. He
knew, he said, that what he said would
subject him to bitter criticism. He was
brought up a protestant and had no con-
nection with the Roman Catholic
church. But he had no sympathy with
that cowardly and ignorant sentiment
that feared that any religious denomira-
ton could menace u liberties. 1T |
had control Of these schools" proceeded
Mr.. Vest. Il would give them to those
who had studied the Indians; those who
had taken the young Indians from the
tepees; segregated them from their faith
ers and mothers and taught them the
religion of Christ, even If the cross is
the emblem of their religion. I would
infinitely rather see them Catholics than
savages." The Indian bill was not conf
pleted when. at 5 o'clock, the senate al-
journed to Monday.
