COMPLETES INVESTIGATION.
National Association of Bankruptcy
 Referees Consider Changes in Law.

New York, November H.-The National Association of Referees in Bankruptcy has about completed its investigation to learn the sentiment of business men throughout the country regarding changes desired in the national bankruptcy law.
 No report can be published until the results have been turned over to the judiciary committee of the House of Rep resentatives. It was at the request of Hon. George w. Ray of this committee many local business men say, however, that there Is no doubt that the report will indicate a sentiment in favor of na- tional against state legislation, and also in favor of amendments to the present law in accordance with the bill prepared by Mir. Ray. A meeting of the executive committee of the referees has been called for Novmber 30. at Binghamton. N. r., at which report will be formulated for the use of the Judiciary committee.

KINGS HEALTH GOOD.
Latest Report Is That He Has No
 Throat Trouble.

New York, November Recommending upon the statement of physicians recently regarding the health of the King the London correspondent of the Tribune cables:
 From the highest sources of informa- tion come the most reassuring accounts of the Kings health. Those who have recently been driving and shooting with him assert that he laughs heartily over the reports about his failing health, and has proved the falsity of them by ex- posing himself recklessly in the hunting field and by shooting hour after hour in the wind and rain Those recently with him assert that he has no throat ailment whatever, and that his general health and spirits are now better than for a long time. London tradesmen would have been saved excessive charges for in- surance on their stocks in coronation year if these facts had been generally known"

MAN JUMPS INTO
 A FIERY FURNACE
BODY BURNED BEYOND RECoGNI- TION-hE WAS ABOUT 35 YEARS OLD, MEDIUM HEIGHT, SANDY COMPLEXION AND AMERICAN.

P1ttsourg, November A.--A few mo- thI ew himself headloi z into one of the furnaces at Schoenberger's mills, Four teenth and Elna streets. Almost his en- tire body was roasted beyond identifica- tion, his left foot being the only part not disfigured.
 A few moments before midnight the man was seen to enter the mill yards and stand at the foot of the hoisting car which carries ore, coke and other sup plies for the furnace. The moment that a warning sounded for the cage to as- cend with its burden, three workmen saw the suicide jump on the platform and stand within a few feet of them They were confused and did not know what to think of him, as no one but employees are allowed on the cages. When the top of the furnace was reached, nearly 100 feet from the level, Thomas Lee deter mined to order him away. The huge crib was opened to allow the cur or coKe to roll into the furnace and the bell was lifted, throwing a terrific heat from the fiery substance underneath. Lee had not had time to open his mouth, when the man threw himself headlong into the luTndCe. QUICK us d HdSn Lee SdW Ine ac- tion and dropped the bell, but all too late. The man was buried head and shoul- ders in the flames. The lid of the bell caught his left foot, saving only it from being consumed. He was pulled out by the three men, but nearly every part of his body resembled a piece of half-cooked meat
 No one remembers of ever having seen him before, and 1t is probable he will never DC identified. The body was re- mcv ed to the mcrgue. The man was about 35 ears old, me dium height, sandy mus tache and apparently an American. He wore black laced shoes.

Berlin, Germany, Juno 81. Tho
Cologne Volks Heitung. the leading
Centrist organ. contains special from
German missionary in Shan Tung,
In which 1t is asserted that the Boxer
trouble Is by no means over, that the
rebels are quietly enjoying their
plumber from the missions, and that
the Philo- Foreigner ediots are only
blind. The dispatch also asserts that
another and worse rising 10 expected
soon.
At the Foreign Office, gentleman,
on Chancellor Won Ruelow's authority,
told representative of The Associated
Press that this news was In no wise
corroborated by official, news from
China. On the contrary, every bit of
news from thore for months has shown
that nothing like general trouble Is ex-
pected. Thie Is especially true Of Shan
Tung, whore e,erything remains quiet,
and order IL maintained with the active
aid Of Yuan Shi Kai, the governor.
There is absolutely nothing to- sub.
stantiate this nlarmist news. w.
Regarding Prince TUan, the latest
official reports indicate that be is not
at court, nor anywhere where he can
communicate easily with the court, and
that he certainly now hos no influence
upon the court. -

DID NOT MAKE ANY IMPRESSION.

Washington Correspondence Philadelphia North
American. ~ t,.
Gen. j ohm NJ. Wilson, who recently
retired as chief of engineers, 10 a very
courteous gentleman. and in office
hours especially expected to. be treated
with that Difference by visitors that he
accorded to them. One day Anthony
Higgins, then United States Senator
from Delaware, who is not exactly
Chesterfield, dropped In to see the
general on official business. He entered
with his high hat stuck carelessiy on
the back of his head, and, without
troubling himself to remove it, fell
into chair and opened up CON
versstion. Gen, Wilson was much
perturbed by this familiarity, and
made no pains to conceal the fact.
Finally, no pressed his finger bard on
the electric button, and his messenger
appeared.
William,'' he ordered sharply,
"bring me my hat When William
reappearad the general put the hat on,
cooked 1t saVagey over his left eye,
pianked both feet Oh his desk and con-
tinued the talk. Senator Higgins ap-
peated totally uaware of the signifi-
canoe Of these proceedings, but Gen.
Wilson was not yet through with him.
As the Senator arose to go the army
officer touched tho button again,
handed his hat to the messenger,
saying; William, you nay hang it up
again; don't suppose I'll have any
further use for 1t today until go
home. -
II is only fair to Senator Higgins to
state that even this pointed remark
seemed to fail to make any impression
on him.

y he was sure the ordinance would
ieass, but he felt it his duty to- enter q
Protest. AT the meeting OF the COM
mittee, he explained, the members
could find no law to sustain the ordi-
nance, and he believed some oil the
other members were loath to approve
1t, but they did 80 In order to get II
before Council. They thought it a
good time to test the law. He had
suggested another method. His idea
was Tor Council 10 allow the appoint
ment to be made by the city solicitor
and II the body wanted the law tested
require the appointes or the solicitor
to prove that the appointment was
legal, but the committee did not act
upon his suggestion.
Mr., Oberly asked whether Mr.. Fisher
referred to him us being loath to APP
prove tho ordinance. Mr.. Fisher inti-
mated TINT that was his impression,
whereupon Mr.. Ohetly said no was in
favor Of tho ordinance, and asked tho
clerk to read the law governing the
Office Of assistant city solicitor, of which
the following IL the vital part:
1.-THE salary of the city solicitor
' y, shall be 81, 800 per annum,
payable monthly. IS There
shall be an assistant, to be sknowu as
the assistant CITY solicitor, who shall
receive a salary of 5000 per annum, pay
able monthly. The duties of
the assistant city solicitor shall be to
attend the Municipal Court when re-
quested by the city solicitor so to do,
and in general to assist the city solipi-
tor in all legal matters pertaining to
the city. This act shall take effect and
become operative on the hrst day Of
July, 1897. y
After the act had been read Mr..
Oberly said the law was plain to him
aud Council had perfect right to pass
the ordinance. hich caused Mr.. Fisher
to remark that it must have been made
o,ear to Mr.. Oberly after the meeting
ofsthe committee. 'sa
Mr.. Kane then sprung the non-parti-
san feature on his colleagues. 1T is
generally admitted, :" he said, THAT
there is q sentiment 10 favor of a non
partisan city charter. This Is right
good place to start. Let us have non
partisan law department and see what it
can do" The yeas and nays we're
called for and oil of the Democrats
voted for the ordinance and all of the
Republicans against it, after which it
was referred to the mayor fo7 his ap.
proval. The mayor will probably ap-
pend his signature in day Or 80 and
Council will follow the matter up next
Thursday night by making the appoint
ment
This will, in. all probability, be fol-
lowed by legal contest, in whioh the
person to be appointed and Philip L.
Garrett willbe the chief participants.
Mr.. Garratt has been selected by Solicit
tor-elect Reinhardt, who has announced
that no will make the appointment on
the day he assumes his office, July LIST.
1t will then be incumbent upon the twn
men holding the Office to prove which
is the legal assistant, and the matter
jpay go 10 the courts. The first move
will be for the two men to appear in
the Municipal Court. Judge Church
man will recognize only one, most
likely, and City Council only one. and
as'there will be only one salary it may
be necessary for the court to determi Inc
to whom it should be Iaid.

DEPUTY CITY JUDGE.
An Ordinance Providing for Fixed Salary
tet toibe Paid Monthly.

An Ordinance Providing for u Fixed Salary,
toibe Paid Monthly. 10
The deputy city judge is to receive a
fixed salary, The sum OF 5000 annually
has been suggested but that matter
has not been definitely determined. At
Thursdays meeting of City Council
Chairman Oberly of the law committee
introduced and had read twice and re-
ferred to the law committee an ordi-
nance providing that the deputy city
judge shall receive an annual salary,
payable monthly. There were no
figures, the ordinance icing lett blank,
to be filed In blythe committee. There
is general sentiment In faycr of the
ordinance. In fact, ID Is obligatory upon
Council to provide for and pay salary,
and there is every reason to believe
that the ordinance will be pissed at
the next meeting,
Tho Legislature provided for the ap-
pointment of deputy city judge by
tho resident associate judge Of the State
courts, but left the matter of oompen-
sation in the hands of City Council.
Under the law Judge Spruanoe recently
appointed Sylvester ID. Townsend, Jr. /,
aud he has cffioiated In the City Court
several times since his appointment
He has bsan serving without salary.
Heretofore the office of deputy city
judge was more honorary than other
wise, but occasionally that official is
called upon to exercise the duties Of the
Office and for some time there has been
q feeling that he should not be COM
relled to serve without pay. Edwin II.
Cochran, Jr., was the deputy during
judge Balls term.
