A Ferryboat and the GunbOat Dolphin
Crash Together in New York Harbor

A Ferryboat and the GunbOat Dolphin
Crash Together in New York Harbor.
NEW YORK, August IA collision
occurred this morning between the
ferryboat New York. of the Williams
burg line. and the United States gun
boat Dolphin. The bow of the gunboat
cut through the mems cabin of The
ferryboat to the team-way and into the
engine room. The New Yorks main
shaft was broken and considerable ma
chinery damaged. All the woodwork on
the forward port side was carried away.
The gunboat's bow was bent and sew
eral feet of the rail torn away The
accident occurred when the New York
was on trip to this city. She had
reached the centre OF the river when
the Dolphin, which was coming up
stream signalled that she would cross
her bows. The New York's engines
were stopped, but the strong current
carried her directly in the patch of the
Dolphin and the gunboat's bow struck
the ferryboat just ahead of the paddle
box. There were not many passengers
on board the New York when the ac-
cident occurred. The ferryboat, with
the aid of tugs, managed to reach the
slip at Broadway, Williamsburg The
gunboat stood by for lime, but finally
proceeded up the river.
Secretary of the Navy Long was
aboard the Dolphin. The injuries to
the Dolphin were trifling, as evidenced
by the fact that she continued on her
way up the river and passed City ISL
and at $40 a. M

FURNITURE FACTORY
Senator Lvpfer Wants One Es-
tablished at the State Pen
itentiary.

Since the binding twine proposition
proved so successful and was received
with so much favor, other methods of
turning the convict labor to profitable
account have been suggested, and Sem
ator Lupfer today introduced bill to
establish a furniture factory at the
penitentiary.
The factory is to engage in the manu-
facture of school furniture only, and for
such furniture as may be used at the
state house and in state institutions.
The bill carries an appropriation of
$4,000 for the purpose of erecting and
maintaining the factory.
The directors shall fix the price of
furniture and make monthly reports to
the state auditor.

A NIGHT OF RIOTS.
The Paris Mob Indulges in It's
FavOrite Pastime.

Paris, Feb. .20.-Police measures for the
maintenance of order have been taken
on an extensive scale, and the city is,
reasonably quiet, although there were
disturbances all Saturday evening. NJ.
Loubet did not quit his residence at the
Luxembourg until o'clock.
Toward o'clock demonstrations oc-
CURED in front of the Office of Sebas-
tian Faure's anarchist paper, the Jour-
nal du Peuple, on the Boulevard Mont
martre, for and against Loubet. There
was a collision between the rival fac
tionS and several persons were injured.
The partisans of the newly elected pres
ident were worsted in the conflict and
moved off to the Cafe Brebant, where
they were again attacked and dispersed
by their opponents. Many arrests were
made.
Similar encounters occurred at about
o'clock at the offices of the Iibre
Parole, and more serious disorders at
the BraSSer1e MaxeVille. on the Boule-
ward Montmartre, where several women
were trampled upon and injured.
In the course of the demonstrations,
the Dreyfusards attempted to invade
the offices of the Petite Journal. Find
ing the doors barred against them, they
smashed the windows.
At the Hall of a Thousand Columns,
200 Bonapartists met to protest against
the election of M. Loubet. Speeches
were made by Baron le Couy and NJ.
Ounce d'Ornano. Several persons who
interrupted the proceedings were eject
ed. When the meeting broke up, there
were some slight disorders and several
arrests were made.
fracas took place at the Cafe de
Spanoramas, where blows were freely
exchanged. In both places the police
intervened energetically, arresting
many.
At II o'clock, an enormous crowd was
demonstrating in favor of NJ. Zola.
Toward midnight crowds broke the
windows of the Rothschilds' offices, in
the Rue La F'itte, and another group
wrecked the offices of the Anti-Juif.
Minor disturbances took place in var
ious parts of the city, but the crowds
gradually dispersed, and at midnight
Quietude had been almost restored.
Today NJ. Dupuy, the premier, will ask
the chamber of deputies to vote 6,400
pounds for the obsequies to NJ. Faure.
This was the amount voted for Presi
dent Carnot's funeral. President Loubet
following the precedent set by Presi-
dent Casimir-Perier, will attend the
obsequies.
NJ. Loubet will preside at the first
cabinet council of the new administra-
tion on Tuesday.

cattle. Still he understood that our
troops were not only receiving refriger-
ated beef at the coast but it was being
sent into the interior. The situation now
he said, was different from that during
the war. Now there were ice machines
on shore. Then there was not ice
enough for the hospitals.
Recurring to the expediency of feed
ing the troops hoof beef in Porto Rico,
Gen. Miles said he was much in favor of
it. He said native beef killed at night
could be very well fed the men the next
day.
DO you think" continued Colonel
Davis, that the native beef would keep
as well as the refrigerated beef in the
absence of cooling apparatus on shore?"
81 am quite sure it would unless the
refrigerated beef was chemically treat
ed with preservatives. If it was treat
ed so as to keep for 72 hours after COM
ing out of the coolers, of course it had
the advantage of native beef, SO far
as keeping gOeS.''

Chicago Theater Audience Became
Riotous When the Play Failed
to Materialize.

1000 men, women and children took
part occurred Sunday afternoon in the
Star theater, Sedgwick and Division
streets, and before the police arrived the
interior of the theater had been badly
damaged.
Scenery which was to have been used
in the presentation of a play had been
the audience had waited until 4:30 p.
m. for the curtain to go up, many be-
gan to c1amor for the return of their
money. They were refused at the box
office, and two minutes afterward chairs
were broken in pieces and hurled at
the stage, chandeliers were broken, car
pets were torn up and the theater and
sidewalk outside was one mass of fight
ing, yelling humanity. The changing of
the patrol wagon bells scattered the
crowd in a hurry, however. Later in
the afternoon the money was refunded
to those who presented their coupons.

A BANK CLOSED UP
BY Commissioner Breidenthal
For Refusing to Permit
Examination.

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal has
revoked the authority of the Leon. Ex-
change Bank, a private bank at Leon,
Butler county. Mr.. Breidenthal sent one
of his examiners, Frank Osborn, down
there to make the annual examination
of the bank, and the cashier, G. H.
tion to be made. Mr.. Osborn at once
notified Bank Commissioner Breidenthal
and the latter revoked the authority of
the bank by wire.
This was one of the very few banks
of the state which has been slow about
complying with the banking laws, and
appearances indicated that there might
be something crooked with regard to
it's management.
The banking law says that whenever
any officer of any bank shall refuse to
submit the books, papers and concerns
of such bank to the inspection of the
commissioner, deputy, or examiner ap-
manner obstruct or interfere with him
in the discharge of his duty, or refuse
to be examined on oath touching the
concerns of the bank. the commissioner
may revoke the authority of such bank
to transact a banking business, and
ney general, institute proceedings for
the appointment of a receiver for such
bank to wind up its business"
Mr.. Brefdenthal has notified Attorney
General GODDARD of his action, and steps
will be taken to wind up the affairs of
the bank.
If the bank transacts any further bus
mess after it's authority is revoked it's
owners are criminally liable and will be
prosecuted under the state laws.

California Troops at Manila Re-
tire From a Position
Which They Occupied at the
Church of Guadalupe.
SHELLS OF GUNBOATS
Fail to Dislodge the Insurgents
Along the Pasig.
Americans Suffer Intensely
From the Heat.

Manila, Feb. 20-The California vol
unteers abandoned Guadalupe church
at o'clock yesterday morning, which
has since been set on fire, and retired to
San Pedro Macati. The insurgents still
hold the country in the vicinity OF
Guadalupe, Pasig and Patero, despite
the efforts of the gunbOats to dislodge
them from the jungle on both sides or
the river.
The heat is intense. and is increasing
perceptibly daily. Under present cond1-
tions it is impossible to provide shade
for the troops in certain parts of the
line. particularly McArthur's division.
Kings brigade is also exposed from
San Pedro Macati to Culiculi, where it
joins Ovenshine's brigade.
Mr.. Higgins, the manager of the
Manila -Daguapan railroad, is believed
to be safe at Bayambang, although no
communica ton has been received from
him since February 9. He was then
housed at Mr.. Clark's place, with his
wife and family and about six other
Englishmen, some of whom are accom-
panied by their wives. While it is un-
likely that the natives of the locality
will harm them, it is feared that others
from distant provinces might wreak
vengeance at their expense.
In view of the fact that the enemy
had concentrated on the American right
flank, preparations were made to give
them a warm reception in the event of
attack. Gen. Ovenshine's line, consist
unteers, Fourteenth infantry and two
troops of the Fourth cavalry, stretch
ing from the beach at Camp Dewey to
Gen. Kings right, was reinforced by
two battalions of Oregon volunteers
and three troops of the Fourth cavalry
infantry. The BuffalO'S Searchlight
discovered the Filipinos unusually ac-
tive about 10 o'clock in the evening and
signaled the flagship for permission to
fire upon them; and, this being granted,
bombarded the enemy's trenches for
twenty minutes. The only effect of the
fire apparently was to drive the insur-
gents farther inland. Beyond a few
Intellectual volleys from the trenches,
which were returned with interest, the
enemy made no demonstration, and all
is quiet along the rest of the line.
Scouts claim to have seen General Pho
del Pinar. who commanded the FiIipi-
nos at Paco, with his arm in a sling di-
recting the troops. Gen Montenegro,
the insurgent commander-in-ch chief, is re-
ported to be personally conducting the
movements in front of Gen. Kings line
at San Pedro hospital. The signal
corps is arranging signals for the navy
for future operations on the left. With
the exception of the port of Iloilo, trade
with the Philippine ports is still block

STATE CONTROL
Of the Movement of Trains ON
Railroads
Is Affirmed by the Supreme
Court of the United States.
IN THE OHIO CASE
Court Holds That the Common
wealth May Legislate
In the Interest of Its People as
Against the General Public.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-In the United
States supreme court today a decision
was handed down by Justice Harlan,
constituting the constitutionality of the
state law of Ohio regulating the stop
page of through trains at stations in
the state. The law requires that any
railroad company in the state shall
have at least three trains a day if so
many are run, to stop at any station on
its line containing not less than 5000
population.
The action was begun against the
Lake Shore company because of it's re-
fusal to obey the law by having as
many as three of it's trains stop at the
town of West Cleveland. The railroad
company contended that the statute
was antagonistic to the federal consti-
tuition in that it interfered with COM
merce between the states. The court
saying that the question involved was
only that of subscribing the public con-
venience and that the state had a right
to legiSlate to that end. The Judgment
of the supreme court of Ohio was there
fore affirmed. Justices Brewer, Shiras,
White and Peckham dissented and JUS
ticas Shiras and White delivered dis
senting opinions. Justice White based
his dissent on the ground of discrimina-
ton against through trains.
Justice Shiras contended that trains
rying mails, etc, were subject to the
control of congress and not to the con-
troll of state legislatures.
The question was, he said, one of con-
venience of the entire public and not
that of the local public alone.

COMES FROM DENMARK.
Pretty Mormon Girl Not Excluded by
Immiyration Officials.

New York, Feb. 20.-Annie Peterson,
a pretty girl, who belongs to the Nor
mon church, arrived here on the An
choria from Denmark, on her way to
visit a friend in Brinton, Utah. She
was detained, and she told the board of
special inquiry in the barge office her
story.
Her father was dead and she lived
with her mother, who is a Mormon. She
was accompanied the trip by an
elder of the church named Brand, who
had been making converts in Denmark
for two years, and was returning to
Utah with his family. She expected to
railroad ticket and $50. She confessed
that she believed in polygamy, because
it is the Bible,'' but she declared that
she would not marry a man who had a
wife.
Deputy Commissioner of Immigration
McSweeney decided that he could not
exclude a person who merely believed
in polygamy, and she was allowed to

NOTED BOY INVALID DEAD.
Clifford Edward Wehry of Clarence,
iowa. Is No More.

Clarence, Ia, Feb. 20.-CliffOrd Ed
ward Wehry, the famous boy invalid,
whose ''chain letters" made his name
known in all parts of this country and
Canada, died last week after four and
a half years of great suffering.
Clifford was shot by accident when he
was years old. The bullet struck his
neck and the shock to the spinal cord
was such that his body was totally par
alyzed below the wound In his head
alone he could feel and he was power
less to move any of the muscles of the
body below the neck.
Medical treatment of the best was Sc
cured for him, but without avail. His
chain letters brought him in considera-
BILE money and some of the most noted
specialists in America saw the case, but
could do nothing for the sufferer. Strap
ped to a wheel chair the little fellow
lived nearly five years. Friends from
far off places sent him books and mag
azines to read, and in that way he pass
ed much of his time pleasantly. His
body, cut off from communication with
the brain, slowly withered, and he was
at last set free from his prison by
death.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 20.-When the
joint assembly of the legislature met
today to ballot for senator one of the
POpuliSt members introduced a reSolu-
tiOn to declare the joint assembly ad-
journed sine die without proceeding to
take a ballot. The reason alleged was
that the senate was in session Satur-
day and had no official knowledge that
the house was not in session and as no
ballot was taken on that day the right
to hold joint session to ballot for SEN
ator had lapsed.
The lieutenant governor declined to
rule on the point previous to taking a
ballot and after that was done motion
to adjourn cut off any opportunity.
There was no change In the refztive
