Bekli.v, Feb. 27. Despite the qaiet
aspect of the streets this morning aud
afternoon, apprehensions were felt for j
the evening. The situation seemed to j
be under the absolute control of the i
police until nightfall, when rowdyism !
was renewed by a tussle with the author
ities. When the police found the tide
of -battle turning against them they did
not hesitate to use the edge of the sabres.
A large number of rioters were badly
hoi t and were taken to surgeries in the
vicinity, where their injuries were at
tended to. The feature of tonight's row
"kas been the large increase in the num
ber of workingmen mixed up with the
mob. Hitherto the greater part of the
crowds consisted of men never known to
work, professional agitators and the
dregs of humanity. Tonight, however,
there were many genuine workingmen
in the crowds. This is attributed to the
fact that today was pay day. All the
police available ure concentrated in the
northeast districts of the city. After the
fight in Eosenthaler strasee, serious col
lisions occurred in Brunnes and Frank
furter strasse. As the rioting increased
the authorities issued an order calling
upon the people to remain indoors. The
order, however, did not suffice to keep
the curious off the streets, and many i
spectators sunered with members of the '
mob. The emperor's advice to uialcon
. tents to emigrate, added fuel to the
flames, and the end now cannot be told,
though it is certain if the soldiery is
called upon, much bloodshed will follow.
Berlin is not alone in the trouble. Dis
tress is prevalent in every populous cen
ter of Germany, and the cry for bread is
clamorous on all sides. During the week
bread riots occurred in Dantzic and
"Brunswick, and meetings of suffering
poor were held in Hamburg and Breslau.
Jn scores of places the strikes that have
occurred during the past four months,
always resulting in the defeat of the men
and the exhaustion ol the benefit funds, !
have assisted the employers to reduce .
wur&, cnuaiug lurmer iruuuiw ior iue
'men. The government members of the
reichstug accuse the socialists of playing
a double game, ostensibly restraining, panied by subterranean rumblings, one
but secretly inciting the workingmen tolof which was scarcely less than the
violence. On the other hand, the social
ists charge the police agents with fomen
ting the riots in order to enable the gov
ernment to execute a grand coup of
wholesale repression.
Our Big Sister routing. '
Washington, Feb. 27. There is some
dissatisfation in the Washington delega
tion in congress with the present admin
istration. Nothing is said aloud nor for
publication, but it is evident that the
- members of the delegation, without
specifying any particular man, are not
very well satisfied with the treatment
which has been accorded Washington by
the administration in most matters.
The appointment of the circuit judge
probably did more to stir up this feeling
than anything else that has happened
lately, because the members of the del
egation expected and hoped they would
secure the judgeship, especially as the
state of Oregon had all along been more
highly favored in appointments than
Washington. It is set forth that Oregon
has a minister to Turkey, a judge in
Alaska, and a collector of internal reven
ues for the district of Oregon and Wash
ington ; that Washington has a larger
population and a larger republican vote
than Oregon, and when the appointment
of a circuit judge was to be made, in
order to even the difference up between
the states in the matter of patronage,
that the circuit judge should have . been
given to Washineton. A statemant in a
New York paper this morning indicates
the senators, with others in their ' state,
will endeavor to secure tne election of a
delegation which will not be for Harrison,
, bu will be ready to go to any man who
will present claims with a possibility of
success before the convention and in the
.. election. Congress is three months old,
and nothing has yet been accomplished
except the passage of two appropriation
bills of minor importance and of little
importance to the country. There has
been no general legislation. There has
. been no discussion of the tariff.' There
bas been no discussion of silver, except
remarks interjected upon other bills
which have been pending.
Rumors Too Hnmerona.
Eli-knsbobgh, Feb. 27 There is
vr...roi?rT.l PXHtment here over the
Great Northern's comimr. Many now
think the road will come to Ellensburgh
This belief is emphasized by the shut
ting down of work by Contractor Kirk
endale on the Columbia river. .Many
people have been arriving here lately,
Some are known to be railroad officials,
A corns of Great Northern engineers is
said to be here awaiting orders. It is
also reported surveyors are working in
Johnson canyon, . which is the outlet
from the Columbia river into this valley
It is genefelly believed if Stevens' Pass
is not utilized by Hill that Snoqualmie
will be chosen. . The rumors are . too
numerous to repeat but these seem to
have some foundation.
Indianapolis Has a Riot.
Indianapolis, Feb. 27. Today has
seen riotous demonstrations in connec
tion with the street car strike. The
casuali ies are limited to a number of
cracked heads and black eyes. Tonight
both sides seem as determined as ever.
The advantage of today's-battle seems
to rest with the strikers. The company
announced tonight no effort would be
made to run cars before Monday. Late
tonight the board of publie safety de
cided to swear in 250 special officers for
service Monday, and Mayor Sullivan
has issued a proclamation closing all
saloons until the strike is over.
A New Jersey Hurricane.
, Pleasant Valley, Feb. 28. A gale
has been raging here for the past
twenty-four hours. The wind is froin
the northeast and is blowing with hur
ricane force. The meadows between
here and Atlantic City are submerged
about a foot. The tracks of the Cam
den and Atlantic road are tinder water
and trains are being delayed. It is re
ported that the tracks of the Ocean City
railway have been washed out.

Making a Test Case.
San Diego, Feb. 2S. The Pacific Mail
steamer San Juan, yesterday refused to
take a passenger for New York. The
fare from San Francisco was tendered,
but refused. An officer of the steamer
said he would take the passenger for 200
dollars. As the fare from San Francisco
is only $90 the party declined to pay, but
put the case in the hands of an attorney
and a test case will be made. Ittia a clear
case of discrimination, and will be push
ed to the upper courts if necessary to get
a final decision.

Fifth (inrernor of Arkansas,
Litle Rock, Feb. 28. Ex-Gov. Elias
N. Conway, was burned to death at his
home in this city today. He was born
in Tennessee in 1812, and came to this
state in 1833. His mind has been nn
balanced since 18C8, and he imagined
that anarchists were going to kill him
on account of his having been governor
or tne state.
General Cnllom Dead.
New Yokk, Feb.' 28. Maj. Gen
George W. Cullom died here today, after
a brief illness of pneumonia. For the
last three months the aged general has

Klectrlcity by the Gallon.
Electricity can be purchased by the
gallon and carried home, like oil. So
says Walter A. Crowdus, a southern in
ventor. Mr. Crowdus believes be has
discovered a means independent of the
steam engine and dynamo, for genera
ting electricity of sufficient power to
furnish light, run pumps and propel
street cars. He produces electricity by
chemical action. The dimensions of his
small battery, one eighth horse power,
and six inches. The cover is of bard
rubber. Within are four compartments,
each containing a cup. To charge the
generator the inventor filled the cups
with a mixture of sulphuric acid and
water. The cover was then fastened
on with knobs. ' The inventor said that
was all that was necessary at any time
to charge the battery, and any servant
could do it. The battery was then con
nected with a sewing machine by means
of two insulated wires, a switch was
turned, and the machine was runaing.
A slight movement of the switch made
it possible to regulate the speed as de
sired. The battery was connected with
an incandescent light bnrner. It fur
nished a strong, steady light. Connec
tion was next made with a pair of car
nage lamps with good results. They
could be stored in the cellar, and con
nected with any number of burners re
quired. The inventor claims he has
proved by experiment that his generator
is available for operating street cars'.

Robert G. Ingersoll Begins Suit for

VIOLENT ST- KM IS NEW JERSEY.
II ore Concerning the Indianapolis Klot
The Sickness and Death Report
Other News. "
Berlin, Feb. 28. There was an omin
ous quiet in the city today. The most
significant feature of the morning was
the silence of most of the pastors on the
subject that was in .everybody's mind.
The usual prayers were offered np for
the kaiser and the fatherland, but not a
word of admonition or a petition bearing
upon the outbreak of disorder, such as
Berlin bad not seen in forty-four years
was made. The explanation of this is,
that the Protestant churches generally
are extremely dissatisfied with, the new
education bill, which placed Catholics
virtually on a par with Lutherans, and
is regarded as establishing substantially
a Catholic state church. This displeas
ure id so great and general that a large
number, both of the Protestant clergy
and laymen, have their loyalty some
what impaired, and while they do hot
sympathize with disorder, they do not
appear sorry to see the kaiser reminded
of the possible dangers of the situation.
The church-going crowds went and came
in the most orderly manner, and in def
erence to the commands understood to
have been given the police there was no
gathering of groups in the public streets.
In the quarter of the city mostly inhab
ited by working men a double force was
on duty, and wherever three or four
persons were seen together they were
ordered to disperse. The order was gen
erally obeved.
Bob Sues. for Slander.
New York, Feb. 2S. The Hev. D. T.
Dixon, pastor of Hanson-place Baptist
church, Brooklyn, announced to his
congregation today that Col. Robert G.
Ingersoll had begun a suit for slander
against him. Ingersoll charges that on
or about February 1, 1892, Dr. Dixon
lectured on "Ingersollism As It Is," in
the Hanson-place Baptist church, and
that he used these words : "Infidelity
fosters impure literature. A few years
ago it was found that pictures and im
pure publications were nassing through
the mails. Anthony Comstock decided
to stop it. On investigation, whom
should he find representing the publish
ers of impure literature but Col. Inger
soll, paid to pollute the minds of the
young oi this generation."
An Old Telegrapher's Death.
New Yoek, Feb. 28. Thomas Dolan,
one of the oldest telegraphers in the
United States, was found dead ona
doorstep on the corner of Vawick and
Broome streets,' not more than a block
from his home, about 12:30 today. . His
death was caused by apoplexy. Mr.
Dolan was born in New York 'fifty-three
years ago. His youth and early man
hood were spent at the case in a job
printing office, and subsequently he
became a telegrapher in the employ of
the New York Albany and Buffalo tele
graph 'company in this city. During
the greater part of the war of tne rebel
lion he served in the United states mill'
tary telegraph corps.
The Indianapolis Klot.
Indianapolis, Feb. 28. The city was
quiet today. There was nd appreciable
difference in the situation from tbat of a
week ago. Tbe events of Saturday, of
course, were uppermost, but the mayor's
proclamation and swearing in of 250
men for special police service by - the
board of public safety had much to do
with restoring confidence. Some appre
hension is felt as to the outcome when
the running of the Btreet-cars will be re
euined. " The advisory board of the
strikers is .taking eteps to prevent
further outbreakg."
Springer's Illness.
Washington, Feb. 28. Representa

throat. His physicians report him as
slightly improved, but he will be vnable
to be out for a week or so.

Bnggestiosi A boot (be Bmm Car Quastloa.
. An uneasy .conscience considers ..no
point aa settled, but ever concerns itself
with the rearrangement of old argu
ments ' and pleas. ' Therefore is it per
haps that one meets everywhere at this
season paragraphs in the papers all bear
ing on the question of giving seats in
horse cars up to women. It. is beautiful
to see with what nnerring regularity
this ancient' campaign is invariably
opened. Year af ter year, with that first
touch of froet which brings the summer
traveler back to town, it begins.- . I have
often been., struck with the persistence
of old types in these arguments, where
rules of mutual courtesy and tact seem
forgotten.
A new suggestion has, however, been
made. Separate cars, it is urged, might
be provided- for men.. just as in. ferry
boate different cabins are set apart,. One
car,' in other, words, bearing' the. an
nouncement "For men only," to be run
at certain, intervals. But, after all,
would this answer any better?; .Women
in crowded ferries have to stand, Seats
in their cabin being filled ' by men? and
no woman yet lived with courage to
penetrate the cabin on the other side,
claiming a seat there for herself.:: Why
not acknowledge at once that , women,
even in the rash of travel,, carry, with
them . a certain quality of refinement
that no man can command at .will
among his fellows.' We are ready enough
to recognize this at home. Why not
recognize this power wherever women
move in public places? Harper's Bazar.
Two Conversations.
The two pale faces looking into the
great shop window filled with soft, beau
tiful furs, belonged to a young mother
scantily clad and a little boy of five or
thereabout, both lingering instinctively
as they passed the wealth of warm
clothing displayed so temptingly.
"Them things must be very warm," said
tbe little fellow, "and nice and soft,
mammy." "Very warm,' dear; very
nice and soft," answered tbe young
creature, with unconscious repetition as
a blast of icy wind came from the chill
East river, making them both shiver as
they walked slowly on. It was only a
chance scrap of conversation heard as
the crowd surged by.
As if to mark the irregularities of
fate, the places of the little mother and
her boy were immediately filled by two
young girls glowing with health and
spirits, and evidently enjoying the keen
wintry air. "Furs are selling for really
nothing here," remarked one of them to
her companion; "1 am going in to get a
new boa and muff, although I really do
not need them at all; but they look so
pretty and soft and warm that 1 cannot
resist them." Almost the same words
as those used by the shabby little child,
but with what a difference! New York
Tribune. ' .
- A Big Bole in Arizona.
G. K. Gilbert and Marcus Baker, the
former chief geologist of the United
States geological survey, with a force of
men, have returned to Flagstaff from
Canyon Diablo, where they were sent by
the government to take observations and
make a map of the region where so much
meteoric iron has recently been found.
They spent sixteen days investigating
tha mammoth hole in the ground sup
posed to have been made by a meteor,
The hole is G33 feet deep and 2J miles in
circumierence.
-The theory is that from the appearance
of the walls and the fact that they have
found ' many pieces of meteoric iron
around the hole, tha meteor penetrated
the earth to a depth of 700 or 800 feet
before it exploded, and tins accounts for
tbe strange phenomenon. Three pieces
of the meteor, weighing 300, 600 and 800
pounds respectively, were found on the
mesa within two miles of the crater and
are now in tbe Smithsonian institution.
Besides these they found many pieces
weighing from two ounces upward.

Has a Coffin to Sell.
For some time past Michael Barry, of
Dnrand, an old man, has been lying at
the point of death, aud he decided to ar
range all the details of his funeral. . - He
was measured for his coffin in bed, and
the casket was placed in the sick room,
where the old man could feast his eyes
upon it. Barry made all preparations,
including carriages for the mourners.
No sooner had he satisfied his mind that
everything was ready for his demise
than he began to mend. : He is now able
to walk, and is willing to let the coffin
go at a bargain. Kalamazoo Telegraph.
A Maniacal Story.
A colored youth who had, a few weeks
ago, served a short term in the Houston,
Va., jail, was recommitted to appear be
fore the errand jury to answer another
charge. He informed some of his fel

sume insanity, and make things lively
for the sheriff and his assistant. He
performed his promise to perfection, and
today is a raving maniac in earnest.

Indians In the Regular Army.
' A . noteworthy experiment has been
made in the regular army of the United
States. Seven full companies of Indian
soldiers, three of cavalry and four of in

to as many regiments and more compa
nies are now being recruited, so that
ultimately every regiment stationed west
of the Mississippi will have an Indian
