An Old Time Christmas.

Heap on more woodl The wind is chilli
But let it whistle as it will
Well keep our Christmas merry still.
Each age has deemed the newborn year
The fttest time for festal cheer,
And well our Christian slres of old
Loved when the year its course had rolled
And brought blithe Christmas back again
With all his hospitable train.
Domestic and religious rite
Gave honor to the holy night.
On Christmas eve the bells were rung.
On Christmas eve the mass was sung.
That only night in all the year
Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear.
The damsel donned her kirtle sheen.
The hall was dressed with holly green.
Forth to the wood did merry men go
To gather in the mistletoe.
Then opened wide the baron's hall
To vassal, tenant, serf and all.
Power laid his rod of rule aside,
And ceremony doffed his pride.
The heir, with roses in his shoes,
That night might village partner choose;
The lord, underogating. share
The vulgar game OF post and pair"
All hailed, with uncontrolled delight
And general voice, the happy night
That 70 the cottage as the crown,
Brought tidings Of salvation down.

To the Legislature:
With profound regret for the misfortunes OF
our Bore pretentious sisters of the east, con-
graduate the state of Kansas upon the many
simple blessings that have fallen to us in these
adverse times. While those who clamor for
aims in the streets of the crowded cities are

by Necanicen going below to his cabin
and reappearing on deck with a revolver
he shot the second officer, who was stand
ing near the companionway. There was
no word of warning from the engineer,
no talk of wrong to himself or his wife;
it was a cold -blooded murder, so the
officers of the Madeleine say. and the
engineer was at once put in irons.
The second officer was so badly wound
ed that it was at once decided to leave
him in Acapulco, so the steamer put
about and ran back. The wounded man
was put in hospital, but it was evident
he was fatally hurt, and when the Made
laine left for San Francisco they said he
was dying.
Necanicen was to be held by the Mexi
can authorities awaiting the result OF
Dramands wound. If the second officer
has died he will be tried for murder.
1t was at first reported that the mate
and the engineer fought a duel on the
deck of the steamer, but the officers say
that the engineer fred at the mate from
behind and while he, attending 10 his du-
ties, knew nothing of the approach of the
man bent on his life.

NOTED SWiNDLERS IN JALL.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 22.-George F.
Mcdonald and Edwin Noyes Hills, who,
twenty-five years ago, made themselves
famous by aiding George and Austin Bid

out of f1,0O0, 900. are locked up here on
complaint of the ]. w. Butler PAPER Com
pany of this city. Alter the arrest of the
two men Mcdonald was suspected of hav-
ing been the author of the pencil will of
the late James G. Fair of San Francisco.
He is known to have been identified with
swindling schemes of almost every kind
throughout the country. The San Fran
and reply was received by the police
here this evening to the effect that the
prisoner was not wanted there.
BY the arrest of the men the police be-
lieve a large swindle has been frustrated,
They are charged with having ordered a
large number of letter-heads and bill
heads bearing the firm name of the
Butler Paper Company from printer in
Joliet. The latter suspected something
was wrong and communicated with the
firm. They had given no such order and
the police were notified. Mcdonald was
followed from Joliet to Chicago and ar
rested. Several rotes and papers bearing
the name of the paper concern were
found in his possession. To-day Hills,
English swindle and who since has been
identified with him, it is alleged, in a
number of offenses, was arrested.

Honest Assemblymen Acknowl.
edged That They Asked for

NO GRATITUDE SHOWN BY THE
FUSED MINORITY.
They Insist Upon Making a Scapsgoat
of the Official Who Made Up Roll
at Their R quest.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 22.-The
Democratic and fused minority carried
out to-day the programme upon which
they had agreed, which was to make the
most of the Duckworth affair, and to rem
der it so conspicuous that as much odIum
as possible would be attached to the Re-
publican majority. The minority didn't
care whether Duckworth individ ually or
the Republicans collectively were to be
placed IN the roasting pan. Either would
be good enough fish for their net to salt
down for the next campaign.
The Inconsistency of the whole matter
was that nearly all the Democrats and
Populists had voted to pay the employees
on the temporary roll a weeks pay for
days work, and among those so voting
was ex-Con gresham Caminetti, the leader
of the Democratic minority. Csminetti
had requested Duckworth to place two Of
his friends on the roll and Duckworth had
complied with his request. Caminetti.
however, was not lacking in gratitude, as
were many of his associates, and he re-
manned passive and silent during the
whole OF the proceedings.
Assem- blyman Rridgford, a Democrat
IIOh OOtuods anu OudHdhduB
Populist from Shasta, led the agitation
to-day. Bridgford did not ask Chief
Clerk Duckworth for any appointments
on the temporary roll, and therefore did
not receive any. Two young friends OF
Shanahan had gone to the chief clerk and
had informed him that Shanahan wanted
their names placed on the roll, but that
they were unable to find Shanahan, that
gentleman at the time being under the in
fuence of a severe attack of malaria.
So illness was the only thing that pre-
vented Shanahan from being gagged by
the uprightness of his own conscience in
the same manner as was his ex-colleague,
Caminetti.
During the discussion the Democrats
did not even attempt to explain why they
had voted a weeks pay for a days work,
and why they had thus paid off few
political debts at tue expense of the State,
while at the same time they were clamor-
ing for retrenchment with the persistency
of a woman demanding a new bonnet
about Easter.
In order to raise dust as to the iden-
tity and the whereabouts of the real cul-
prit they focused their attacks upon the
unfortunate clerk who had, perhaps,
overreached his duty in the attempt to

THERE'S BLOOD
UPON HER DECKS
Arrival of the Madeleine
After a Tragic Run
From Callao.
An Oil Tank Exploded and
Injured Eleven of Her
Crew.
That Reported Dusl in Midoce an Was
Murderous Quarrel B'tween
Officers.

After an eventful trip from Callao, Peru,
the French collier Madeleine came in yes
terday morning. She has had an explo-
sion on board, and eleven of her men
were hurt. She had a scandal, too, and a
shooting affair-it was said at first it was
a duel-and now her chief engineer is in
the brig on Spanish varship at Acapulco
and her second officer is in the hospital.
The Madeleine is fitted out for the oil
trade, and il was one OF her cargo tanks
that exploded. She was off Callao when
the accident occurred, and not one ofthe
eleven men who were then working in the
hold escaped injury. Three of them were
very severely injured and had to be left
behind. The cause of the explosion is
not known, but it must have been of ter
rife force, for it almost wrecked every
thing IN the interior of the vessel.
The Madeleine sailed from CaIIao N O.
vember Is, and off the Mexican coast her
engines broke down and she ran into
Acapulco for repairs.
1t was after the Madeleine left Acapulco
that the shooting afffay occurred. At
Callao the engineer, Peruvian named
Abe Necanicen, brought his wife on board
for passage to this port. Before reaching
Acapulco the second officer, Dramand,
and the engineer frequently fought, the
cause being the engineers wife and the
remarks which Dramand was in the habit
of passing upon her.
When the Madeleine left Acapulco the
feeling between the two men was very
bitter and she was hardly in blue water
before it broke out in storm. 1t ended

1t FfH Be as Indicated fn Harmon's
annual Report
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 22-The
line of procedure against the bond-aided
Pacific railroads will be as indicated by
the Attorney General i'll his annual re-
port. The part of Attorney General
Harmon's report referred to is as follows:
''The report of Hon. George Homely,
special counsel OF the United States, which
IS affixed to the report, shows that there
is NO substantial change in the state of
the litigation about the Union Pacific
Railway and its branches. l have grave
doubts as to the ability of the Governm mt
to preserve the present situation much
longer. / am advised that an attempt
will be made to enforce the Governments s
appearance In the foreclosure case, with a
view of giving q complete title to the pur-
chaser at the foreclosure sale.
while believe the position heretotor e
taken and still maintained by the Gov
ernment is the true one-namely, that its
appearance ca mot be compelled-it must
be confessed that the contention OF oppos-
ing counsel is at least de bata tabie-namely,
that while the Government cannot be
sued with view to recovery again, it may
properly be made a party to a suit il
equity brought by the holders of bonds
issued by its express consent upon prop
erty on which it has itself received lien.
LAS the only object of steadfastly keep
ing the Government out of the case thus
far has been 10 secure some favora bic solu-
ton of the difficult problem presented by
its ownership of subordinate security
upon property whose value is generally
believed to be insufficient to pay in full
any but the frst-mortgage liens, think
that, unless the pending funding bill be
passed and accepted, the Government
should endeavor to secure terms for its
appearance in court in the way of an as
surance of such a bid on the property in
the case of judicial settlement as will se-
cure to it fair realization OF the value of
its lien. If this be not done and the Gov
ernment should be compelled to sue to
protect its own interests, or required to
appear and set up its claim in the pending
cases, the benefit of the position so long
maintained may be largely lost"
