LOOKED UPON AS A REBUFF
The PaIl Mall Gazette Discusses Nin- ister Conger's "RecaIl'' From
 His Post in China.

London, Feb. 27.-The Pail Mall Ga. zette's correspondendent at Pellin, tel. egraphing under date of Monday, says:
 United States Minister Conger's re- call, which is practically a rebuff, is very generally regretted. It is feared that his uncompromising attitude will be exchanged for a policy that will prove unnecessarily benevolent.
 "To-day's meeting of ministers was concerned in drawing up list of the provincial officials implicated in the Boxer movement whose punishment it is intended to demand.
 "The Germans continue to punish Chinese troops guilty of brigandage and bloodshed. They have gained a magnificent reputation for military efficiency"

THE SHIPPING BILL.
Mark Hannn's Hand In Pushing Fec. ward the Trust-Fnvoring
 scheme.

From the decision of the senate ra~ publican committee on order of buse- ness to ask for earlier daily sessions <e the senate, and also to move for nighf sessions next week. it is evident that Hanna party associates perceive the danger to their party contained in ths calling of special session of congrea. If 1t IS deemed necessary to convene the Fifty-seventh congress in speciaz session following the close of the Fifty sixth. the responsibility for such neees- sity must rest upon the packers of the ship subsidy bill. It is because of the stubborn determination of the friends of the subsidy grab to jam it through congress at all costs that other busi- ness. genuinely important to the entire country rather than to a syndicate clique of monopolists, has been impossi- ole of transaction. It has been the ship subsidy bill or nothing with the arrogant influences back of that evil measure.
 On it's face. the ship subsidy bill M sufficiently malodorous to contain se- rious menace of future disaster to the party which dared to make it a law. If 1t shall compel the calling of special session of congress for the transaction of business which could otherwise cas- fly have been disposed of during the regular session, the disfavor in which the subsidy grab stands with the peo- pie will be ominously increased Wise republicans plainly perceive this for bidding truth of the existing situation. The probabilities are however, that Mark Hanna sternly demands the pas sage of the ship subsidy bill. extra ses- sion or no extra session. He must re- coup the syndicates whose money re- elected Mir. Mckinley to the presidency. The $1s0,000,0 900 subsidy grab is the be- ginning of this repayment. If the peo- ple's representatives in congress are so foolish" as to fight the ship subsidy bill, why, so much the worse for the people. They'll have just that much more to pay in the long run, and Hanna is insolently indifferent to their loss i1 their loss means the syndicates' gain.- St. Louis Republic.

BAD WRECK ON THE WABASH.
Entire Train Derniled and aIl of the Forty Passengers More or
 Less Injured

Goshen, Ind, Feb. 27.-Passenger train No. 9 on the Wabash, which left Buffalo Monday night and which was scheduled to arrive in Chicago yester- day morning, was wrecked two miles west of Millersburg, at 9:35 o'clock yesterday morning.
 The accident was caused by n broken rail. The engine passed over the break in safety but the six cars following left the rails, and one of them, the rear Pullman, rolled over on its side, and slid down a 25-foot em- bankment. Of the 10 or more passen- gers in the train, not one escaped in- Jury, F being severely hurt, some of whom will probably die.
 The railroad officials were very prompt in securing surgical aid and Tn short time special trains bearing surgeons were hurrying to the scene of wreck from every available point in northern Indiana. Lake Shore road officials also made up relief train and carried doctors to the relief of .he afflicted.
 The little hotels at. Millersburg and Benton, several miles from the scene of the wreck, were turned into hos pitals. No deaths are thus far re- ported, but some of the injured are in critical condition.

A PROTECTED COMBINATION.
Some thing In the Line of Trusts fog the American People to Con-
 template.

There seems to be no doubt that . deal has been consummated by which pretty much all the steel manufactur- ing concerns in the United States, rep resenting an aggregate capital of near ly $1,000, ,000, ,000, have been brought un- der one control.
 Some of the consolidating concerns are giants in themselves. The Carnegie company, at the head, is capitalized at $320 900 GOO, the Federal Steel company at $200 000 900, the American Steel and Wire company at $90.000.000 and the National Steel company at $50,000, 900.
 These four alone have an aggregate capitalization of S660, 900, or an av- craze of Sl65, 100000 each. They are not infant industries
 This gigantic combination will havs more power than its component mem- bers have had to stifle all competition among themselves and to take the ut most advantage of the tariff which has been made for their benefit upon the assumption that they are feeble crea- lures who are quite incapable of caring for themselves.
 They are exporting now at the rate of fully $l20.000.000 worth a year of their products. and selling them in open and free competition with all comerQ in neutral markets, and in the face Of high tariff duties, even, in the mar kets of competitors.
 With what semblance or pretense of reason, then, can it be said that they need any tariff protection whatever in their home market? Such claim cam not be set up except upon the assump- tion that they must charge their OWE countrymen more than they accept from foreigners for the same goods ik order to make satisfactory profits
 Do Americans relish being forced by the Dingley law to pay eNorbitanx prices in order that the people of other lands may buy American goods at low prices? It would seem that they do.- Chicago Chronicle.

TERRIBLE VENGEANCE.
"eorge Ward, the Negro Murderer of Ida Enkeistein, at Terro Haute,
 Ind.. Lynched.

1erre Haute, Ind, Feb. 27.-Justice. swift and terrible, was meted out, yesterday, to George Ward, the negro who murdered Miss Ida Finkelstein. the school teacher, by shooting her with a shot gun and cutting her throat Monday afternoon. In a few hours after his arrest an angry mob battered down the doors of the iail. dragged the miserable prisoner to the Wabash bridge, several squares away and hanged him to the bridge draw. Not content with the hanging, the crowd cut the corpse down and, lay ing 1t on a sand bar under the bridge, klndled fire and cremated the re- mains. It was the first lynching that ever occurred in Terre Haute, and the day abounded in exciting incidents.
 The Murderer Confesses.
 Ward was arrested at ten o'clock al the car works where he was em- ployed as laborer, and after being fully identified by two citizens, made confession. His only excuse for the murder was his allegation that Miss Finkelstein called him a dirty nig- ger" and slapped him in the face. Sheriff Fasig communicated with Gov. Durbin, but the mob accomplished it's work before any effort was made to get the militia into action.
 The MurdcrCr.s Identity.
 Ward was 2 years cid, and leaves widow and two children. He came here five years ago from Circleville, D. The statement that he was one time in an insane asylum is denied by the widow. He served a jail sentence in 1889 for larceny.
 The leaders of the mob are un- known, and as public sentiment up- holds the lynching, no prosecutions are expected.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb. 27.-Tur- ney Camp Confederate Veterans, of Winchester, Ten, has adopted anoth- CT resolution in regard to inviting the president to attend the Memphis re- rnion.
