GENERAli GKANT'S WIDOW.
From the New York World.
Mrs. General Grant is reported
to be in good physical health, but
mentally depressed. She seems to
and perfectly indifferent to current
eveuts. Books are neglected,
magazines remain uncut and let
ters remain unopened. She is ex
cused to callers and accepts no
invitations, many of them being
answered by messenger many
weeks after the event for which
they were issued. She reads her
husband's books over and over
again, and from their pages seems
to get as much comfort as a Chris
tian from his bible. The medal
lions, medals and minatures and
carved metals once carved by the
illustrious soldier are regarded
with reverence, and in fits of ab
straction she will sit for hours
polishing the one she happens to
take up, ruining her handkerchief
or lace tidy in the operation.
Whenever she drives out the
coachman goes to the tomb and, ir
there are no visitors abouc, stops
at . the path, and his mistress
alights, goes to the entrance and
stands before it with her face
pressed against the iron bars. At
the approach of strangers the
sound of a whip-lash is heard, the
signal for the lonely, sorrowing
woman to withdraw. The most
devoted affection is manifested by
her children, from whom she re
ceives all manner of mementoes
daily, although she does not write
to any of them. Of late she has
been inconvenienced by rhumatic
pains in her knees and feet, mak
ingit difficult' for her to wear leath
ershoes. ALL. FOE THE PUBLIC GOOD.
It is an undisputed fact that the band
somest vestibule trains that are now
run on the American continent are those
on the "BuBidNGTOx Route," leaving
the Union Depot in Denver, also St.
Paul, immediately on arrival of all
through trains from the west. The first
and second class coaches are magnifi
cent, the Reclining chair cars superb,
the Pullman sleepers extremely luxuri
ant, and as for the meals that are served
in those Palace Burlington dining cars
yum-yum. The next time you go east
to Kansas Citv.Chicago or St. Louis, if
you mention to the ticket agent that
you want your tioket to read from Den
ver or St. Paul . over the Burlington
Route, you will get it, and you will al
ways be glad of it.
If you go via the Northern or Canadi
an Pacific, the elegant vestibule trains
of "The Burlington Route," between St.
Paul, Chicago and St. Louis will carry
you alon,H' the eastern shore of the Miss
issippi river for a distance of 350 miles,
amidst scenery that cannot be surpass
ed; or, if you go via the Oregon Short
Line or Southern Pacific, and your ticket
reads via "The Burlington Route," from
Cheyenne or Denver, you will pass
through all the thriving cities and towns
located in what is popularly known as
the "Heart of the Continent." For far

RULES OF THE HOUSE.
Especially Adapted to Check Dil
atory Tactics.
JETTY APPROPRIATION PASSED.
Halstead Testifies KeRai ding the Ballot-Box
torgenes Edmnnds Exhibits Bad Tem
per on Being Overruled.
Washington, Feb. 6. In the new rules
of the bouse, which were revised by the
republican caucus j-esterday, rule 21
omits the provisions of the old rule for
bidding amalgamation of two pending
resolutions and treating the river and
harbor and post-route bills as petitions
in their introduction. Another impoitant
6&pp to prevent filibustering ib found in
rule 22, which has reference to the intro
duction of bills. Under the former rules
one member would on Monday prevent
the transaction of business by introdu"
cing bills and reading them in full. Un
der the present code no provision is
made for bill day on Monday, and when
otber publio business is pending bills
will be read by title only.
In rule 23, section 21, which requires
the committee of the whole to rise n'hffi
without a quorum, a clause is inserted
after the word "quorum," as follows :
"which shall consist of 100 members."
What may be a change full of signifi
cance occurs in section 3 of the same
rule, requiring certain measures to be
considered in committee of the whole.
This is in the opening sentence, which
reads: "All motions or propositions or
iginating either in the bouse or senate
involving a tax or charge upon the peo
ple, all proceedings touohing appropria
tions of money." The words "origina
ting in the house or senate" are newly
inserted, and would appear to recognize
the long-disputed right of the senate to
originate tariff and appropriation bills.
Another important change in the line
of expediting business occurs in section
4 of the same rule, which prescribes the
order of business in committees. The
change reads : "Or such order as the
committee may determine, unless the
question to be considered was determin
ed by the bouse at the time of going into
committee." The effect is to relieve the
house from the necessity of laj ing aside
Dills and proceeding in order, which of
fered large opportunities for obstruction.
Another change in the same direction is
in section 6 of the same rule, whioh per
mits the committee of the whole to limit
or close debate without rising and going
into open house for an order, and forbids
business, etc.
The democratic cauous last night lis
tened to the new rules expounded by ex-
Speaker Carlisle. There was much in
dignation at the obnoxious features, but
;t was decided that if the republicans
give time for consideration and some for
debate when called up for action, the
democrats would interpose no unusual
obstacles.

this morning, though considered private,
was one of the most distinguished and
largest that has taken place here in
recent years. The day opened gloomy
and with threatening sky, but by 9 o'clock
hundreds of people were gathered about
the White house and a detachment of
police was necessary to keep them in or
der. When the hour of the funeral ar
rived the crowd had swelled to over
5000.
The White house had been converted
into a temporary chapel, a- temporary
pulpit being erected in the south room,
near the center. Directly in front were
the two caskets, completely buried be
neath floral offerings, which were superb
and of every device the florist's art could
imagine. Around the caskets were ar
ranged rows of chairs, and the entire
room was filled to its utmost capacity.
Army and navy officers were present in
full uniform, also publio officials, the en
tire diplomatic corps, including the Chi
nese. Japanese and Oorean legations, the
Pan-American congress in a body, and at
least a hundred senators and members of
the bouse of representatives. The pall
bearers were members of the cabinet.

THE FORAKEB FORCEEIES
Halstead Thonuht Them Genuine His Mo
tive in Pn Wishing Them.
Washington, Feb. 6. Before the
ballot-box committees to-day Senator
Sherman said he had never heard of the
matter until it came out in Foraker's
campaign speeches. He had never sign
ed any such document. The signature
on the paper was copied evidently from
his rubber franking stamp.
Editor Halstead- of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette was examined at
great length. Foraker first showed him
the; paper September 14. Both were
astounded to find the names of Sherman,
McKinley and Butterworth on it. Wood
assured Foraker that the document had
come from McLean, of the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Witness examined it care
fully but could see no room fordoubting
the genuineness of the paper or signa
tures. Halstead's theory is that the
forgery was never intended to harm any
one, but wm concocted by Wood to halp
himself in his effort to get the Cincin
nati smoke inspectorship. It was pre
costerons to suppose Foraker thought
there was anything fraudulent about it.
Halstead admitted that he was stagger
ed by Sherman's denial after publication.
When asked why he did net ask Sher
man or Butterworth about the paper
Halstead said one was out of the country,
and the other in Washington. It was
not pleasant to put a finger on a sore
spot like that. He and Foraker firmly
believed in the genuineness of the signa
ture. Witness never comtemplated a
rivalry for the senatorship between him
self, McKinley and Butterworth.
EXPRESS CLERK STEALS :S5,000
A Man of Exemplary Habits A Thief in the
Dallas, Tex., Office.
St. Louis, Feb. 6. There was a big
sensation in express circles to-day when
it was discovered that the Pacific Ex
press Company had been robbed of 835,
000 by F. A. Walton, money clerk in the
Dallas, Tex., office.
A bank at Dallas shipped on the 1st
instant two packages, one containing
$15,000 in gold, and the other $35,000 in
bills, to the Commercial National Bank
of this city. The gold was received but
the bills were not. The bank notified
tfae.ejjunw awlJwsi.- in
sult.
Walton has been missing since Sun
day night, but as his office accounts
were found straight, no alarm was felt.
An investigation showed the cunning
Bcheme he had worked. He had given
receipts for the packages at the bank on
one slip. On a duplicate sent to the St
Louis express office, however, he made
no mention of the 836,000. This gave
him time to escape. Descriptions of
him have been telegraphed broadcast,
and the company is confident of captur
ing him. He was a man of exemplary
habits.
EACH WANTED TO GO IN FIRST.
Girl Converts Fight at a Baptism, and one
Smites the Preacher.
Jefferson, Ind Feb. 6. March Hoop
er, aged 17, and Rachel Ferguson, aged
12 years, had a desperate fight yesterday
at Utica, six miles from this city. The
girls were recent converts to the Baptist
church, and yesterday were to be bap
tized in the river. The Hooper girl ob
jected to Miss Ferguson going in first.
She deliberately struck her on the nose
and blackened her right eye, and when
separated by Minister Wesley made an
attack on him. The whole baptizing
broke up in great consternation. A great
revival in religious oiroles exists in the
village.
MONTANA SENATORS RUN AWAY.

Colored Men's Platform.
Washington, Feb. 6. The colored
men's convention to-day elected ex
Senator Pinchback president of the
association. A long address to the peo
ple was adopted, setting torth their
wrongs in tte Sonth, etc. It says: Our

afford to ignore them; to urge upon col
ored voters to subordinate all govern
mental or administration issues to their
interests, and supporting such parties
and candidates as are known to be
friendly to our cause until all politiaal
parties are ready to accord us our rights
under the constitution and laws."

ner and Otber Towus Suffer.
Spokane Falls, Feb. 6. Special Tele
gram to the Portland Oregonian.j The
town of Burke, Idaho, in the Coeur d'
Alene mining district, has been nearly
destroyed by a disastrous avalanche. Half
the business houses are in ruins. Tues
day morning, with scarcely a moment's
warning, a tremendous mass of snow
and rocks swept on the town. Five men
were buried beneath the snow. Two
were rescued, but the others are dead
and their bodies have not been recover
ed. The ill-fated town lies in a narrow
gulch through which Canyon creek pours
its waters into the south fork of the Coeur
d'Alene. It had about 200 inhabitants,
who have deserted their wrecked or men
aoed homeB and plaoes of business.
Yesterday another avalanche swept
down upon the boarding house connect
ed with the Custer mine, whioh is situa
ted on Nine Mile oreck, about five miles
from Burke. The snowslide occurred at
6 o'clock in the evening, while eighteen
men were eating dinner in a boarding
house connected with the mine. The
slide started at the top of the mountain
about 300 feet above the boarding house,
and leveled every tree to the bottom of
the gulch. The boarding house was
ground into splinters, six of the occu
pants being killed outright and as many
more seriously wounded.
SIX MEN KILLED.
The names of the killed are:
Joseph Galbraith, foreman of the mine.
Thomas Sturgeon, miner,

rescued alive, but the others perished.
-tiJPfc -.,sr.-tf9 pi3fC0E.- -X now L.1J.U1 lifei
containing families were struck and car
ried clear across the gulch, but no one
was killed. Several unoccupied houses
were wrecked, and most of the inhabi
tants of the town moved further up the
gulch, where there is no danger from
slides.
THREE BAILUOAD MEN KILLED.
About a mile and a half below town a
big slide occurred and Btruck a railroad
oamp, killing three men whose names
could not be learned.
At the Gem mine the flume was car
ried away.
The San Francisoo tramway and the
greater part of the flume were destroyed.
This side of Wallace, near the Argen
tine mine, a slide occurred which put the
Couoer d'Alene narrow gauge and Wash
ington & Idaho railroad tracks under
seventy-five feet of snow.
At Mullan several slides occurred. No
loss of life is reported, but the damage to
property is great.
At Wardner the Emma and Last Chance
mine tramways were carried away, the
blacksmith shop destroyed and several
other buildings wrecked, bnt with no
loss of life.
A RUINOUS SNOWSLIDE.
Wardner Suffers From an Avalanche of the
Fleecy Stuff.
The snow of the present season prom
ises to be the heaviest and deepest that
ever fell in Wardner. For da,ya it has
oontinued falling, says the Wardner
News, of February 2. On Sunday morn
ing that visitation dreaded in many
mountain regions, an avalanche or snow
slide, started the early risers of the town
"from its propriety," causing those
around to look in awe at its rapid course
and listen to the roar of its unearthly
musio oompai atively spellbound for the
moment. Fortunately no lives were
lost, but considerable damage was done
by the destruction of property belonging
lo the Emma & Last Chance Milling
Company. In its descent the ponderous
body of snow destroyed several hundred
feet of the gravity tramway, shattered
the ore house and blacksmith shop and
leveled the newly constructed water
tank, besides crushing two or three
small habitations at the foot of the
mountain. The pecuniary loss has not
been exactly estimated, but it will take
considerable time and money to repair
the damage sustained. The avalanche
occurred in the same place, oh the same
day of the week and within eignt hours
of the same time as the memorable one
on the 27th day of February 1887, three
years ago less one month and one day&
from which our fellow townsman, James
Cronin, was rescued after lying five
hours under the snow.
On Thursday a similar desoent of the
beautiful startled a number of travellers
on Canyon creek, creating no little con
sternation but causing no damage.
Snow having drifted in large quantities
on the Burke route, the train was stop
ped on its way about a quarter of a mile
this side of the granite concentrator, and
while waiting for the removal of the ob
stuction, on which work a number of
men were employed, a snowslide occur
red and in its course partly passed over
a car in which eight or ten persons were
seated. Those on board, among them'
William Bath, of Wardner, regard their
eBCape as miraculous, but "all's well
that ends well" and so it was with this
snowy adventure.
RAILROAD DISASTER AT BONNEVILLE.
A terrible accident ocourred Feb. 2, on
the Union Pacific road, at Bonneville,
which resulted in the death of nine per
sons, and probably more. The trestle
bridge at Bonneville extends over an arm
of the Columbia river, forty feet in
length and fifty feet high. Owing to the
blockade no trains had passed over the
bridge for the past few days, and the
melting snow had caused the rising
water to undermine and weaken the
struoture.
The unfortunate train approached
slowly, but the engineer discovered the
danger too late to escape and the train
and the trestle disappeared together.
It is reported that nine are dead, and
probably others will die. The kiUed
whose names are known are Henry
Kroncke, August Carlson, Andrew Frost
ed, Theodore Schulham, Charles Rasdorf,
John Sehraeder and William Cole, sec
tion hands; Jerry Casey and J. Marithew,
section foremen.
Patriok Glenn, division master, ETC-

Lewis Straus, Pat Sullivan, John Thomp
son, H. C. French, J. E. Seeley, John
Flaherty, Thomas Coyle, James T. Raw
linson, Patrick Conlan; Chinese How
Chung, Wah Tone, and How, were
all more or less severely injured.
Tne dead and wounded, as quickly as
possible, were placed on the steamer
Harvest Queen and carefully removed to
the looks, where they were tenderly cared
for by sympathizing and willing hands.
It is said tbat this is one of the worst
aecidents which has yet happened to the
Union Pacific.
PROHIBITION ZEAL.
A Fanatic's Attemut to Assasinnfe Ri.hnn
Whitaker.
Philadelphia. Jan. 31. David Alex
ander, who tried to assassinate Bishop
Whitaker Sunday last. Dieaded cniltv
this morning before Judge Arnold. Dr.
Andrews, of the county prison, testified
that Alexander was sane on everv nthnr
subject except prohibition. When asked
oy Judge Arnold what he had to say,
Alexander rose, and in an eloquent voice,
addressing the court, said:
'I always thoneht the church shnnl.l
help support poor widows and orphans,
ana when a man, the minister of a
oburoh, openly denounces prohibition, I,
a (christian, consider it a vile and
base crime; but when a man ranks so
high as a bishoD I think he is o-niltir nt
a very vile crime, indeed, and is a hind
rance to tne church, instead of a sup
port. They sneak of increase of thn
good cause. aTud the cburoh, but when a
bishop is allowed to openly and publicly
aenounce pronioition, I think it shows a
great decrease."
A PEDAGOGUE LOSES HIS GRIP.
He is Rolled in the Mud by His Pupils and
Forced to Resign His Position.
A dispatch to the Pendleton Tribune
from Walla Walla, Feb, 5. says: The
life of school teachers is not a happy
one. The lite of Professor Llewellyn,
principal of the Waiteburg BChooIs, was
not, at least. The professor is a kindly
man, indulgent to his pupils and con
ducted the school to the satisfaction of
everybody in the county, except the
older pupils of his school, who disliked
him for his efforts to make them attend
to their duties. Yesterday afternoon the
professor had some trouble with the
elder pupils, and after school was out
a number of them waited for him in a
group. When he came out of the school
house, they set upon him, and throwing
him to the ground, rolled him it. to the
mud and stood him on his head. The
pedagogue presented a very peculiar ap
pearance when he came out. The boys
then threatened him with more treat
ment of the same kind and then let him
go. This made the professor angry, and
to-day he resigned his position. He ad
mitted that he eould not control the
boys.

the American navy; recommend ade
quate provision for improvement of the
harbors and rivers of the whole country
concurrently with the restoration and
development of ocean commerce, so that

should pay a just compensation for this
service, regardless of the price at which
other nations are willing to provide simi
