TO SELL FIRE STATION. -.

The city has been offered So, 500 for
the building now used as Central fire
station, it is understood, and may sc-
cept it and erect another station on
the city property adjoining the city
hall. The board Of commissioners
seems to favor it, as does Chief
Woods. The present building is not
wide enough, and it is hoped to
some time in the near future have a
third station on the North Side,
which would make it advisable to
move Central station nearer the GEN.

of the Suburband bill, so communica-
tions were established and the affair
talked over between the assemblyman
and the lobbyist.
Meysenburg said he had 200 shares
in an electrical company which had
been made absolutely worthless by the
establishment of the Kinloch Telephone
Company, which is practically owned
by the Suburban interests. Stack then
VOLUNTEERED to see that Meysenburg did
not lose. by being friend of the SUI

of time then until Meysenburg was paid
$4,000 of Suburban money for his 200
shares of worthless certificates, the bill
reported from his committee to the
council and passed.
The case was fought by strong COR
poration backing and every effort was
made to clear Meysenburg and defeat
in advance kindred cases in which as
semblymen, lobbyists, and corporation
officials have already been indicted.

sTEEPLE JACKS CLOSE CALL.
Firm Grip ard Cool Head Saves Frank
Patterson's Life,

Port Chester, N. Y, March 2S.-Frank
Patterson, a "steeple jack of Port
Chester, owes his life to the good grip
he exerted when he fell from the top
of flag pole 100 feet high yesterday
and held on to ledge sixty feet above
the ground until rescued. Despite his
long fall he escaped with only slight
bruises on his right arm.
Patterson was making some altera-
tions on pole which is on the tower
of Edgewood Inn, new summer hotel
on the outskirts of Port Chester, when
the pole suddenly snapped in, two. Pat
terson let go his hold on the pole and
went flying thru the air.
Without losing his presence of mind
he succeeded in his flight in grabbing
the stump of the pole and rapidly slid
down it to the tower. When he reached
this foooting his hands slipped and the
shock caused him to slide from the
tower to the main roof.
When he rolled towards the edge OF
the roof he had the forethought to get
good grip on the ledge Of the roof.
and held on, thus saving himself from
being crushed to death on the ground
sixty feet below. Several of his fellow
workmen rescued him.

LoNDoN's TOBACCO WAR.
Firht Between tho Big Trusts 4
traetina National Attention.


London, March 29.-The tobacco war
here has created q degree of national
interest far greater than that usually
associated with trade disputes. Acad-
enic organs, like the Spectator, devote
many columns to a serious discussion OF
the results of such wholesale disinte-
grafton Of the British system by Amer
ican capital The Spectator draws a
curious comparison of rival methods.
English capitalists" says the paper,
swill risk millions in a trade war with
the greatest pluck, but American capi-
talists will actually sacrifice them rath-
er than be beaten. Such wars are an
enjoyment in an otherwise rather dull
and overworked life. They will feel
disgraced If they do not win and will
stake their last dollar on the exchange
which, to them, are fields Of glory or
humiliation.
What else have they to live for. Pol
itics offer no career. They can not
found families. in the English sense.
and as for luxury, they enjoy it like
Roman mobiles. while they have 1t or do
without in serene content"
These characteristics, the Spectator
deducts, bode i'll for British trade and
1t prophesies an attempt to coerce the
retailer on the part of the American
company which is now brought UP all
standing against British check" in
the form of dull passiveness of the re-
tailers' neutrality between combines. in
which there is unquestionable
strength, for you can blow up st. Paul's
sooner than quagmire."

STRIKE IS AVERTED.
Textile Operators at Lowell, Mass,
Agree to Delay Strike While Cues

Lowell. Mass, March 29.-At the con-
clusion of an all day and all night con-
ference between a committee of citi-
zens and representatives of the textile
council In this city it was announced
early today that the threatened strike
of 10000 cotton mill operators in this
city has been averted for week at
least. The citizens will use their good
offices with the mill managers to bring
about the increase in wages demanded
by the operators.
Providence, r. l., March 29.-Notices
of 10 per cent advance in the wages
of operatives were posted today in the
cotton mills in Rhode Island and Mas
sachusetts operated by the Goddard
and knight interests. 1t is expected the
Lippitts, who with the knights and
Goddards practically control the cotton
industry in this state, also will grant
the increase.

Il append hereto a list of twenty
three officers of the insurrectionary
government who now hold positions OF
trust under cur government. Aguinal-
do himself has taken a position and is
earnestly urging his countrymen to ac-
cept our sovereignty, and most OF them
have already followed his advice. 1t is
not perceived that any benefit would
be obtained by taking delegations or
Porto Ricans to the Philippines, or by
bringing delegations from the Philip
pines to the United States, in advance
of the choice of delegates provided for
by them in a bill now pending in con-
gress. On the other hand it would be
very difficult to keep such proceeding
free from spectacular and sensational
features, which would be injurious. 1t
is not a fact that the warfare in the
Philippines has been conducted with
marked severity On the contrary, the
warfare has been conducted with
marked humanity and magnanimity on
the part of the United States army.

"The conclusions of the secretary of
war are hereby approved. Theodore

Miles replied to the secretary of war
in a letter dated March "a, in which he
explained his purpose, still disclaining

terfere with the existing civil or mill
tary authority in the Philippines. He
says as to his suggestion concerning
Cubans, Porto Ricans and Filipinos Wis
iting this country not being deemed ad-

Miles letter was followed by COM
munication from the secretary of war,
commenting upon it's several sugges-
tions. This begins as follows: with
out commenting upon the propriety OF

of the atcion of the president, / again
submit the paper for such reconsidera-

who Is in command Of the American
forces on the island of Samar, had a
the insurgent General Guevarra and
several officers Of his command. Cue
varra succeeded General Lucban as in
surgent leader in Samar and has signi-
fed his intention of surrendering to the
American authorities.

OF resource and devoted to a high pur-
pose.
At the continuation Of the trial by
court martial of Major Waller for the
execution without trial OF natives on
Samar Island native scout by the
name Of Smoke was on the stand.

plot among the native leaders of the
Waller expedition to murder Major
Waller and Lieutenant Williams. He

TO FIGHT PROHIBITION.
Whisky Men Of kentucky Organic
Against Temperance.

Against y eUpSCduC0s
Louisville, KY, March 2s.-A secret
meeting of representatives of Louis
ville's whisky interests-manufactu
and jobbing-was held at the Gait
House yesterday afternoon to revive
the National Protective Association
organized in Chicago in 1886 to wage
war against the prohibition movement
and to endeavor to show that "prohi-
bition laws are Intellectual"
The association will be national or
ganization. 1t will have its headquar-
ters in Louisville, and will be supported
by fund to which the distilling and
liquor jobbing interests of the entire
country are expected to contribute. 1t
is understood that the organization will
have unlimited financial backing, for
representatives of the trade everywhere
are taking deep interest in the move
ment, and have already authorized the
promoters of the organization to call on
them for funds. The money will be used
in employing speakers to conduct cam
paigns in states where the prohibition
lists are. strong. In distributing printed
matter, in employing statisticians and
writers on economic subjects. and anti
prohibition arguments particularly.
Steps will be taken to hold national
convention of liquor men, at which a
permanent organization will be made.
A prominent distiller discussing the
meeting, said:
"The trade is clamoring for the or
ganization. and there is apparently lit
tie doubt of it's success. The entire
trade of the country will be combined
on campaign of education. We have
received numerous letters from distill-
ing concerns offering us 800, 5000, $500
and $500 a year for a period of five
years. None of these concerns is large.
Concerns with more capital will give
