Has FALLEN THROUGH.

1t was stated some time ago in the
Register about Whittinghill Bros, sue
cessors to Geo r. Taylor, leaving the
city and returning TO Louisville, and
also that an effort was being made TO
organize new dry goods company to
start at the same place. Nothing de-
finite has been heard about the mat
ter since then. 1t was stated last night
by a party who claims TO be posted
that the scheme had fallen through,
as enough capital could not be secured
to make the venture an assured sue

Nagpore. January 91.-The special
correspondent of the Associated Press
who is now visiting this city, finds
that the town, which Is the seat Of
many government Offices and the cen
ter of important manufactures of cot
ton. silk. wOolens and cutlery, having
population normally of over 100000,
has been invaded by an extensive
migration from the outlying districts,
where scarcity of winter rains was the
rule. Government activity, in connec-
ton with the irrigation work and other
public enterprises, and through pre-
cautions taken for the relief of the I'M
fortunate have ayerted an acute crisis.
Half crops only were secured through
out this section of the country this sea-
son. but the fodder supply is good, and
it is hoped the worst effects of the
famine will be STAYED off for two
months longer at least.
Your correspondent has visited the
local poor house, accommodating
about 1 900 persons. A piteous specta-
Gle was here presented by the almost
naked dregs of humanity, nearly all
too i'll or diseased to work, but all feed
and healthily housed at a cost of 1000
rupees each month. this fund being
raised by native charity. This poor
house is a fair specimen of poor houses
in other sections of India and shows
how small a sum is necessary to save
these unfortunates from actual death
by starvation. Taken as a whole, it
may be stated that the Nagpore district
is not as bad a plight as the northern
districts already visited by your cor

THE TRAIN BLOWN UP.
The Cubans Sent One OF Weylcr's Military
Trains Flying.

Cincinnati, O., January 31.-The
Commercial Tribune's special from
Kew West says: On Friday one Of Cen
eral Woyler's supply trains was dyna-
mited on the railroad near Cieze,
north Of Cienfuegos. Two bombs were
exploded under the engines and fOur
under the train, being fired by electric
itv as the train was crossing a trestle.
The engine was blown apart and all the
cars were splintered. They rolled over
the trestle into the ditch, the fall com
pleting what the dynamite left undone
Out of the guard Of 100 soldiers on it.,
forty-five were instantly killed or ter
ribly injured. The others surrender
ed as a force Of 200 Cubans appeared.
The train was looted, the insurgents
capturing small field piece that Cen
eral Weyler had just ordered from Ha-
vana. After securing all the provis-
ions and ammunition the cars were
burned. The prisoners were released
and the Cuban captain sent Weyler a
box of sweet bread with a polite note.
The captain of this Cuban band was an
American named Burke, from Indiana.

Attempting to Bring About the De-
feat of the immigration Bill, Now
Pending in Congress.

Washington, January Ex-senator
Lodge said to-day:
Since receiving copy Of the tele-
grams which CIaussenius & Co., were
sending out to affect votes on the I'M
migration bill, and which I gave to the
press. there has been sent me copy
of the ,circular which this same firm
have U5en sending out through the
mail. As they stated in an interview
that they were sending out their tel
egrams only in their individual capac-
ity, it will be interesting to observe that
this circular is addressed to agents
who. l suppose were also TO act in their
individual capacity and not as agents
of the North German Lloyd Steamship
Company. The circular in full Is as
follows:
Chicago, January 2jth, 1897.
"'To Agents:
The immigration bill which is in

ton. comes W for final action II

ct is quite clear That immigration
will really be restricted almost to the
extent of total exclusion OF immigrants
should the bill become a law ana
every effort should therefore be made
to insure the defeat of the bill.
You are indirectly interested in the
defeat of the bill as much as we are, and
we should respectfully ask you TO wire
your representatives in Congress i'm
mediately upon receipt of this TO vote
against the bill, informing him that
the measure virtually means exclusion
and that his vote in favor OF same will

against Lancashire yarns and cloths!
What will become of the profit just
named? 1t will be reinvested in build
ing more mills
1t is also shown that the fact that
the English cotton trade has begun TO
decline cannot be disputed 1T would
be almost safe TO say that all the mills
in Oldham during the past twelve
months have not earned a net profit
large CROUCH to build and equip one
first class mill" Statistics are quoted
to show that, as compared with twenty
yeas ago, there has been a reduction
of fully 5000 600 .spindles employed. in
volvng the throwing out of employ
ment of 14000 TO $4,000 operatives.
Submission to judicious and timely
reduction of wages in the past would
probably have enabled the English
trade to have prevented or defeated
competition to such an extent as to
have absorbed this ever increasing
mass of unemployed. The loss of
money also is very serious, for Mr..
Mawdsley, whose testimony is quoted,
thinks that, taking the whole of the
capital invested in the cotton trade
twenty three years ago at E100, coo. 900.
the ullDlnlShed return on the outlay
would represent over II per cent" At
tention is drawn to the fact that in ad-
dition to the machinery going abroad
the most intelligent Lancashire opera
tives are now going out to Eastern
countries, India, China and Japan. to
teach the natives the new industry and
to manage the mills. The operatives,
with these facts before them, are asked
to look present facts in the face,
bravely encounter them, cease to ha-
rass the trade by absurd regulations
and impositions. accept the reductions
of wages which the circumstances de-
mand, and thus retard the inevitable
surrender Of the industry to foreign
competition sufficiently long to give the
capitalist time to work out his invest
ments and develop something new"
