RAWLINs GAINS FOUR.
Nine Ballots Taken by the Joint
Assembly Yesterday.

Nine ballots was the record of the
joint assembly yesterday, and at the
close of the stubborn and desperate
struggle between the forces of the op
posing candidates, Rawlins had cap
tured three men from Henderson and
added Senator Snow to the list of his
supporters. The three Populists also
left Thatcher and returned to Law
renee, and when all this had been ac-
complished the contending factions
were quite ready to draw off for the
day. The cessation of hostilities left
Thatcher with 20 votes. a loss of three:
RaWlins with 10, a gain of four, and
Henderson with 16, a loss of three.
This is the highest vote that Rawlins
has yet received in the contest.
The sensational features of the pro-
ceedings were supplied by Bennion,
Kenner and Snow, who, with much We
hemence and feeling. explained their
reasons for changing their votes to
RawIins. Mr.. Kenner's speech was of
especial interest, as his sledge-hammer
Oratory was directed at some of the
peculiar issues that have entered into
the campaign. These changes in the
votes were not wholly unexpected, as
it was known that many members were
growing FESTIVE and desired to bring
about some change in the situation, in
order to encourage a settlement of the
contest.
The public half expected that yes
terday's proceedings would result in an
election of one of the candidates. or
some important change in the condi-
lions, and there was the same ire
mendOus crush of excited and eager
spectators as upon the preceding days.

But Full of Floating Ice.

st. Louis Mo-, Jan. 25.-The cold wave
which gathered in British Columbia on
Friday swept down upon this section yes

slightly abated tonight. At o'clock this
morning, the temperature here was ex-
actly zero. At noon. degrees above was

This extremely low temperature, followed
sharply upon a long season of mild

the associated charities for food and fuel
was never greater. When the ticket win

which endangers shipping. Trains were
generally on time this morning. but this
evening all those due from points west

hours and 10 minutes. All were delayed
by snow blockades- Special dispatches
show that no section west or south of

IN GREATER new YORK.
TENS OF THOUSANDS ARE OUT
OF EMPLOYMENT.
Most of Them Suffering the Pangs Of
Hunger = Heart-Rending Scenes
Reported in Isolated Gases.

Chicago. Jan. 25.-A special to a
morning paper from New York says:
There is famine and suffering in New
York. Tens of thousands of men are
out of work, and thousands of them
doubtless are suffering the pangs Of
hunger Isolated cases are reported
daily in the local press, but no attempt
has been made by the newspapers or
by any organized charity to secure
statistics, and no one knows, even ap-
proximately. the extent of the unfor-
tunate penniless brigade. These are
the conditions which have been dis
covered in one case: A woman on the
floor of big house, wasted to the
last degree, penniless, which means
she can get neither the food nor medi
cine she lacks; on the floor below, in
the same house. is the headquarters of
a society organized to give quick relief
TO those in the extremity of need, but
dying from inanition for lack of funds,
because people have not subscribed to
aid its purposes.
At the top of the house, No. 154 West
Houston street, live Thomas Edwards,
his wife Mary and Mrs. Edwards
mother They had two children, who
died. and so escaped their parents
fate A year ago Mrs. Edwards was
attacked by consumption. She was
fully fine eyes. The disease has run
a hasty course, and she is now so
emaciated her thin wrists would al
most pass through the, circle of her
wedding ring.
Thomas Edwards was school
teacher in Ireland and has certificates
to prove his intelligence and educa-
ton. He came to this country to i'm
prove his condition. Here the school
teacher drives an ash cart of the
STRENGTHENING department when he
gets an opportunity to drive it.
A few months ago he was regularly
employed, but he fell i'll. and while I'M
able to work he lost his place on the
list of ash-cart drivers. He has had no.
work for three weeks, and for two days
there had not been a penny in the
house nor a morsel of food. Down one
flight of stairs below these three peo-
pie confronted by starvation is the of
fee of the New York Family Home
Relief association.
That society was organized to give
first relief to the hungry and home
less But of late contributions to it
have almost ceased. People who for
merry gave money to ii now keep tight
their purse strings and say to its
agents: Charity these days begins
at home"
The women who conduct this home
relief association know they have a
worthy case right at their hand They
know of Mrs. Edwards pitiful condi-
ton. They do what they can for her.
Today one of them took the hungry
woman a bowl of soup, and from an
other source came some help today.
Three people in deepest want, one dy-
Ing, and under the same roof a cha
ritable society that has no money for
charity

New York, Jan. Pa dispatch to the
Sun from Havana says: In the prov
ince of Havana the war has assumed
the most barbarous character since
Weyler gave his last orders to lay
waste the entire country. Around the
town of Giunes, the Spaniards have
destroyed everything. Many foreigners
have vainly protested. When the pro-
test of a foreigner is brought to Wey
Ter or, in his absence, to his secretary,
the Marquis of Palmerolero, the answer
invariably is Let the foreigners pre-
sent their claims through the diplo-
matte channels"
In the city of Havana. the persecu-
tion of women continues. Senorita
Rosario Sigarroa, distinguished young
woman, has received orders to leave
the island within a week under pain of
Imprisonment. Another Cuban lady,
Emilia Cordova, has received a similar
order of Punishment.
Clemencia Arrange, sister of the Gu
ban colonel, Raoul Arrange, was the
victim of still more cruel treatment.
The police, searching her rooms for let
tiers from her brother. treated her so
roughly as to arouse the Indignation of
all the neighborS. She is a friend of
Consul-General Lee and his family,
and is highly esteemed by all the best
Havana society.
An editor of the Diaro De La Marina
was summoned to the palace of Ad-
miral Navarro as soon as the news was
circulated of the destruction of the
Spanish gunboat Cometa by the insur
gents near Cayamos, MatanZas. The
editor received orders to deny the news,
and accordingly the following lines ap-
peared in Saturdays evening edition of
that paper:
The splendid gunboat Cometa is do
ing her duty on the coast of Cuba. She
has not been destroyed by the insur-
gents. The press of New York has
again been deceived by the lies of the
Cuban sympathiZers who, by way of
Key West, send to the United States
all kinds of fables"
La Lucha publishes the same denial
as official. The Cubans here, however,
have ratified the news. 1t came to
Havana through a trustworthy Cuban
agent.
That the town of Cayamos, where
the gunboat is said to have been blown
up, surrendered to the insurgents and
was destroyed is beyond any question.
Admiral Navarro was so angry over
the news that he said, Il will order the
Cometa to enter Havana harbor with
all her flags flying and salute Moro
castle with ~ SHOTS.
Time will show whether Admiral
Navarro is playing a game of bluff. In
Brujo, Pinar del Rio province, a hot
enga cement, lasting four hours, was
fought on Friday, in which the Cubans
numbered more than 1000 men. In
Sagua, another engagement of i'm
portance has occurred, in which a
Spanish captain, Care, suffered a Sc
we're loss and the Cubans lost three
well-known leaders, Estanilas, Jose
Rogue and Pedro Nodarse
Near Victoria De Las Tunas, another
encounter is reported between Calixto
Garcia and the Spaniards, in which
Cuban victory is beyond any doubt.
The SDaniards confess to 81 killed,
which is an extraordinary admission
in an unofficial way around Havana.
The epidemic of smallpox is aug
menting. The cases number 5000 today

tary of the Spanish legation. today,
reached us by cable from Madrid last
night. 1t is a telegram from the minister
of foreign affairs the Duke of Tetuan, en-
bodying the material points of a dispatch
sent to him by the captain-general of
Havana The dukes dispatch reads as
follows: General Weyler at the head of

MORE BITTER THAN EVER.
Conflict Between Weyler and Sugar
Planters.

Key West, Fla, JAM 26.-Advices
from Havana say that the conflict be-
tween the sugar planters and Weyler
continues with wore bitterness than
ever. Both are determined to carry out
their purposes, and the unusual spec
tacle is presented of two contending
parties fighting with one another with
out openly declaring their hostilities.
OF the war, little that is new can be
said. Weyler continues on his march
without deviating from the highways
and railroad lines. Despite the strong
column marching with him, he appar-
emily fears to enter the unexplored
regions. AS he burns and destroys
everything in his passage, he illumin-
ates his way as if he carried a torch
in his hand, and the rebels can easily
avoid anv encounter with his solid
column. Thus it is explained why he
has no encounters with them.
AS an idea of the notorious FOnde-
vielas character it is said that when
it was reported to him that all the
Spanish officers captured by Aran-
guerin had been released, he remarked:
''Aranguerin' did we'll lin setting them
free, otherwise there would not remain

IN NEW ORLEANS.
Attempt to Revive Prize Fighting
Frustrated.

New York, Jan. pa Sun special
from New Orleans says: An attempt
was made on Saturday to revive prize
fighting here under the auspices of
Professor John Duffy, who refereed the
Corbett-Sullivan and other big fights
for the Olympic club of this city. The
steamer Mabel Comeaux was chartered
for this purpose ard left with a large
crowd for jefferson parish, just above
New Orleans, where, according to the
programme three prize fights were to
have been decided. The steamer landed
some ten miles above New Orleans,
on the west bank of the Mississippi
and the ropes were put up, when Sher-
if Marrero, with several deputies, ap-
peared and compelled the pugilists to
leave.
The boat then steamed up and landed
a short distance from Kenner. Here q,
ring was formed and battle began be-
tween Joe Green (colOred and the
Terrible Swede. The latter did not
prove so terrible, for in the first three
rounds Green punished him severely
and was quite certain of victory.
In the fourth round, however. Judge
Long arrived on the ground, armed
with a pistol. and ordered the fight to
cease, declaring that no negro should
whip a white man in Jefferson parish
The party returned to New Orleans
very much Disguised.

INTERFERENCE IS
HARDLY PROBABLE
ATTEMPTS TO REVIVE PRIZE
FIGHTING IN NEW ORLEANS.
Pedlar Palmer Bests Ernie Stanton
in the Fifteenth Round Before
the National Sporting Club
Palmer Had the Battle in His
Own Hands-General Turf Topics
and Other Sporting Events.

New York, Jan. 25.-A morning paper
says: An agent of Dan Stuart has
been in Montana looking for location
for the ett-Fitzsimmons fight. He
has found conditions much more fav-
orable than he expected and already
certain preliminary work has been
done.
Gregson Springs, a health resort a
few miles west of Butte, on the Butte,
Anaconda & Pacific and Montana
Union roads, offers the best attractions.
1t is on the dividing line of Deer
Lodge and Silver Bow counties. An
architect who has been over the ground
offers TO build an arena to accommo-
date 10000 people for $4,000. The
Northern Pacific and Union Pacific
roads have offered to contribute S5,OO0
each to the fund, and the citizens of
Butte and Anaconda will raise $1,000.
The railroads will make half fare rates.
The important question, of course, is
that of permission from the authorl-
ties. 1t is not at all likely that IN
reference would come from the au-
thorities of either county. Butte, a
city in which the sporting element has
always been strong, is the county seat
OF Silver bow county. AndcOHud, the
home of Marcus Daily, the copper king,
and we'll known horseman. is the most
important city in Deer Lodge county.
A letter received yesterday from the
editor of a Montana daily newspaper
stated that Governor Robert B. Smith
recently remarked: Il am a Kentucky
gentleman, and if the fight takes place
in Montana L may be among the spec
tators.
AS Governor Smith owes his nomin-
alton to Marcus Daily, it is quite likely
that Mr.. Days advice would cut some
figure in determining the matter of
gubernatorial interference. Governor
Smith is a very popular citizen. He
has liberal views on all subjects and
would not be influenced by clamor.
There is a law on prize fighting in
Montana, but it is of sufficient breadth
to permit the Corbett- FitzSimmons
fight as arranged.
Gregson Springs is easily reached by
the two transcontinental roads and
within easv access to Butte and Ana
conda, where the hotel and Geographic
facilities are very satisfactory.

a single Cuban male alive today in
Guanabacoa."
The arrest and killing of the unfor-
tunate citizens of that unhappy town
continues as ever, and as he has pro-
hibited their removal to this city or
other places, the situation can be easily
understood. Persons who have visited
the town say nothing could be a more
shocking sight. All the houses are
closed, ladies fear to look out of the
windows, as the soldiers will surely in
suit them; few citizens walk around
the streets-only armed soldiers, soiled
and repulsive, are to be seen.
Rumors of the landing of expeditions
have been afloat in Havana for the last
few days. One is said TO have landed
in Pinar del Rio and the other around
ManZanillo. The exact location has
not been ascertained.
The forces under Weylers command
number 1900 infantry, a cavalry regi-
ment and % pieces of artillery.

SANDERS TRIAL.
Sensation Sprung at Fresno, Cal,
Yesterday.

Fresno, Cal. Jan. Pa sensation was
sprung by the prosecution this morning
in the trial of w. A. Sanders, who has
been granted a new trial after having
twice been convicted of forging the name
of W. A Wooton. and who is suspected
of having murdered the wealthy rancher
a few years ago.
Sewed into the clothing of a prisoner
who had been the companion of Sanders
in the county Jail, and who was ? bout to
be discharged. was found a package of
letters, agreements, etc, to which the
name of John Knausch had been forged.
The object of the forged papers was to
establish the innocence of Sanders. The
prosecution secured possession of the pa
pers and claims that Sanders guilt can
now be easily established. The suspicion
that Sanders murdered WoOton is now
materially strengthened.

Notary Coonev,s Trial.

San Francisco, Jan. 25.-The preliminary
examination of ex-Notary James J. Coo
ney. who is charged with having perjured
himself in swearing to the acknowledge
ment of deeds to property valued at ST.
600 000 which are alleged to have been ex-
ecuted by the late Senator James G.
Fair in favor of Mrs. Nettie r. Craven,
was resumed today. The object of the
prosecution is to prove that the form
used by Cooney was not in existence at
the time of Senator Fairs DEATH Several
employees of the II. S. Crocl1er Stationery
company testified regarding the various
legal forms printed by the company, but
nothing sensational was developed.
