New Yohk, Feb. 11. The late coup of
President McLeod is the greatest in the
history of railroad financiering .and
wakes the Reading as strong a corpora
tion as there is in the world. The gross
receipts of the Philadelphia & Reading
system will hereafter be $20,000,000 an
nually, and the number of its employes
will approximate 100,000, being more
than is employed by any corporation on
this planet. It is now plain what was
in Mr. McLeod's mind when he acquired
the Poughkeepsie bridge and the lines
tributary thereto,, which, through
the Reading and its entire argumented
evstems, goes into the very heart of New
Tt
the east, with connections with all the
, important New England roads, and en-
nKlirts if tr iTixf no tr nAntrAl Iha dnal I
traffic of that entire region. Mr. Mc-
Bapport of A. J. Drexel and the banking
house with which he is connected, of
John Lawler, J. R. Maxwell and George j
F. Baker and the New York Central
people who have secured the largest
holding there is at present of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna & Western railroad,
the success of this combination, backed
"by the strongest financial institution in
this country, is assured.
Jumped into the River.
New Brunswick, N. J., Feb. 11.
George Baier, a prosperous German
baker, committed suicide, this morning
by drowning. ' He sought the top of the
cliffs one mile below the city and took a
plunge of 100 feet into the Raritan river.
Some fishermen fouud the body late in
the afternoon. Baier went to Germany
three years ago.- He was then reputed
to be a single man, but on his return he
was accompanied by a woman and three j
children. The woman claimed to have !
married him teu years before. . Baier's
wife admitted when the body was taken
to the house that she had frequently
quarreled with him, and that the suicide
was doubtless the result of a quarrel
which thev had had on Sunday.
Both Want the Whalebacks.
Duluth, Minn., Feb. 11. Represen-
tatives of St. Louis and San Francisco
svndicates are here conferring w'th the
McDougall people regarding the lines of
whaleback steamers. The St. Louis
syndicate anticipated the establishment
of a line to ply between St. Louis and
European ports by way of Mississippi
the Gulf of Mexico. The San Francisco
people are considering a line across the
Pacific. If the St. Louis project goes
through, a shipyard will he established
for the construction of whalebafks at .or
near Cairo, at the mouth ; of the Ohio
river. .
Governor Boies' Sac? Mistake.
Dubuque, la., Feb. 11. Governor
Boies' silence on the silver question at
the Denver banquet last night is called a
fatal blunder by this evening's Tele
graph, which has been an earnest sup
porter of his claims to the presidency-,.
It declares that Governor Boies' availa
s bility depends on his ability to command
' the support of the friends-of free silver.
Having forfeited their support at Denver
last night, he can no longer be regarded
. as a presidential possibility.
Victims or the Hotel Fire.
- New-York, Feb. IT. Search . for the
missing in the ruins of the Hotel Royal

partment says there are no more bodies

three more bodies there. Seventeen in
' all were taken out, seven being identified.

Detkoit, Feb. 12. In answer to
charges against Gen. Russell A. Alger,
that had been dishonorable discharged
by Custer 23 years ago, Gen. Alger says :
" Along in June and July, 1864; Gen.
Custer requested me- several ' tunes . to
have his bi other Thomas appointed as a
lieutenant in my regiment as he wished
to have him serve on his staff. As he
did not belong to my regiment I de
clined, and in a hot controversation
about it one day he told me I would re
gret it some day. I said to him I would
rather resign than to have an outside of
ficer promoted in my regiment when I
had deserving men in the, ranks. I never
knew or suspected that there was the
slightest question about my being prop
erly sent with a large number of sick
: and Wounded. to Annapolis; or of Gen.
Custer's recommendation. If he knew
the fact it was one of the most cruel
outrages ever perpetrated upon a sold
ier.' Again he says: "I was honorably
discharged from the service, and was not
dismissed as stated." IJ says that in
August, 1864, he was eick and was sent
to a hospital at Annapolis, Md. After
his partial recovery he was detailed to
court-martial duty at Washington, but
not liking it, and being unable to return
to the field, he resigned. He never
heard of the charges till 1888 during the
Chicago convention. In this connection
he says: ' "I had never, heard a word
directly or indirectly up to that date
almost twenty-four years that there
had been any such, recommendation,
which I found afterward, to my surprise,
was true. " I never had any more sus
picion that I was not regularly sent to
the hospital than anything improbable
on earth. There was never a more cruel,
unjust act committed by man. I served
three years, participated in sixty-six
battles and skirmishes, was promoted to
all the grades from captaip to colonel,
and was breveted brigadier-general and
major-general without my application.
I never was absent from my command a
moment, except on aecount of ''wounds
or sickness. I never received a censure
froin hry superior officer in any way,
shape or manner during the war. Had
I known of the existence of such a docu
ment during the lives of Gen. Sheridan,
who was alwavs a warm personal friend.
J and Gen. Custer, who always claimed to
I be a friend and visited me frequently, I
could easily have had the record cor-
i recteo; out wnen i nrsi iiearn oi it vjen-
Sheridan was on his death-bed and un-
, ,
able to see anv one, and Custer was
'dead.

Facts Concerning Starving 'Russia.
-London, Feb. ' 12.--A dispatch from
Penza, Russia, -sayB the thermometer
registers 58 deg. below zero, and there is
terrible suffering among the- peasants.
A number of men were frozen to death
on the high roads. A quantity of grain
for famine sufferers has arrived at Penxa,
but it is impossible to distribute it, be-..
: cause nearly all the .horses have been
; killed for food or sold to procure money
'with which to buy the necessaries of
: life. - It is estimated that nearly 1,000,
000 draught animals have been killed
throughout the empire since autumn.
' Typhus fever, smallpox and diphtheria
: are decimating the inhabitants. Around
j Penza 200 peasants hare died from these
diseases. The dispatch adds that the
! governments of Samara, Saratov and
j Nijni Novgorod are in a condition far
i worse than in Peuza. In those ' three
governments the peasanty have fallen'
' victims to hunger and disease. In the
' governments of Charkov and Kazan ty
I phus is especially terrible in its ravages,
the inhabitants are dying by hundreds.
The Ninth Clroalt jadgeshlp.
j. Washington, Fl. '3 Varo
rumors have been floating "about re
I garding the judgeship of the ninth cir
1 cuit. It is said, among other 'things,
; that the opposition to Pritchard, of Ta
corna, has endangered the promotion of
' Judge Ilanford from the district to the
circuit bench. Representative' Wilson,
interviewed regarding -these rumors
says: "1 have absolutely no knowledge
ofany opposition whatever to the ap
pointment of Pritchard. . His indorse
ment" has been hearty and universal
throughout the state by the leading
lawyers and .attorneys in all sections.
He cannot, however, be appointed until
a vacanc.t is created, and that vacancy
will not. occur utitil Judge Hanford is
promoted to the circuit judgeship, and
confirmed by the senate. The presi--dent
states he will consider only the- cir- '
cuit judgeship for the present,' and in
due and proper time, should a vacancy
occur in the United States district judge
ship of Washington, he' will then take,
up and dispose of that matter. This ; is
the true and natural way to look into al
of the matters appertaining to the judge
ship in our section. The delegation is
now and has been all the time using its
best influence to secure the circuit judge
ship for the state of Washington. The"
president, however, will give no indica
tion at any time of what he will do, or
what conclusions he has reached. He
has stated that be cannot and will not
treat these matters like postoflices and
other federal appointments. An inquiry
at the department of justice develops the
fact that they have absolutely no knowl
edge of any opposition to Mr. Pritchard's
appointment, and I personally .know of
none myself. All statements of this .
kind are entirely ithout foundation."
It looks now "as if there was not the
least possibility of any man from Wash
ington state being' appointed and the
contest of a half dozen men from Oregon,
two or three from Washington and some
from other states have perplexed "the
president a great deal, and he may de- ..
cide to go to California for-his other'
judge, but the Oregon people think that '.
when the appointment comes in .it will
bean Oregon man. In spite of what
Representative Wilson save, the compli
cation of the circuit judgeship has en- '
dangered the chances for the appoint- '
nient of a Washington man, not on ac
count of theopposilion to Pritchard, but
because the president will not consider '
these two appointments together.
