here until the election on the 17th Continuing the Journal says: the bead and front of the Davis opposition are placed by common consent Lieut Gov McClough and Brown both of Min neapolis These gentlemen are understood to have discouraged a caucus in all ways possible and more or less publicly advocat ed the election of Gov Nelson to the Sen ate Really it is said the two Minneapo lis men are campaigning in the Interest of Merriam with whom they are on terms of Intimacy but name is not men tioned and the plan is to sidetrack Davis for Nelson and give Merriam a chance to defeat Washburn in

chiefly women resolu tions were adopted declaring their deter to continue to strike until they won or were beaten There is much suffer ing among the strikers who were ill pre pared to measure strength

York to night to confer with President elect Cleveland over his resolution to suspend the purchase of silver by the States until an international agreement shall have been reached by at least Germany rance' Great Britain and the United States fixing the valuation of silver for coinage purposes Mr Harter has been calculating the cost of the silver purchased by the government under the Sherman act of 1S90 and is pre pared to present to Mr Cleveland some fig ures which he thinks are significant and startling He says but few people know what enormous losses have been sustained by the government in the purchase of sil ver Taking the treasury statement for December as a basis Mr Harter said at the present market value of silver which is fictitious or on stilts due to our monthly purchases of the worthless trash for which there is no legitimate market anywhere at current prices the loss will not be less upon the coined dollars and sliver bullion in the treasury as valued in the statement re ferred to than $160000000 Beyond a rea sonable doubt fifty cents an ounce would be a large price for silver bullion on a basis to day and this would be $138000 000 more we must hold this Mr Har ter continued trust against the notes Issued for its purchase and we may have to do this down to a point where thirty cents per ounce will be a high figure for it there being scores of mines that can pro duce it for less When this time comes our losses even If we stop buying to morrow will swell up to not far from $400000000 Altogether this silver speculation and mis use of the public credit since 1878 has been the most monumental financial blunder In human history" Some complaining of the fact that bound volumes of the reports of the Bureau of Ethnology and the geological survey have been lost in the mails These interesting works are In great demand among the scientists and for the use of libraries and their value is increased by reason of the fact that only a limited edition is published They have a ready sale at $4 per volume Several members are said to have lost their whole quota of these volumes as well as their copies of the big maps of the country issued by the General Land Office lost a good many valuable documents last ses Representative Belknap said to day I have not missed any during the pres ent session I have adopted the custom of registering every valuable package now and I find although it costs me eight cents cverv time it helps to insure the proper delivery of the books I have a consider able demand in my district for the reports of the Ethnological Bureau and the other scientific documents Last session I sent a set to one of my constituents and it never reached him I had to go down to the bureau and buy another set fqr him and as I registered the package tills time it was delivered all right I do not know where the blame should rest and I would not like to make a complaint either against the employes of the House or the rail way mail service until sure that a certain person was guilty It would not do to cast reflections upon a whole body of men when perhaps only one of them was to blame I think most of the documents which are found in the second hand book shops of this city are sold by members themselves and In fact I know of cases where mem bers have dispose! of their documents in this The news of Senator Stockbridge's easy victory In

alleged misappropri ation of the city and county funds intrust ed to the care of the city officials for the Columbian Day celebration came into the Court of Sessions this morning and handed up a presentment recommending that the corporation counsel bring suits against all parties to whom money had been lllegally paid and against David A Boody Mayor of the city and the Comptroller City Audi tor and Board of Aldermen in behalf of the city The grand jury also handed up a batch of indictments against members of the Board of Supervisors It is said that there are about twenty indictments in all Judge Moore sitting in the Court of Ses sions refused to divulge any of the names of the men indicted saying that it would be a violation of the law for him to do so until the warrants had been issued and the arrests made It is charged in the indict ment that the money expended by the City of Brooklyn in its corporate capacity on account of the Columbian celebration was in defiance of law Under the color of the pretended right the money for said celebration was taken from he contingent fund All expenditures tor the County of Kings of the Board of Supervisors on said Columbian celebration were illegal Bills entirely out of proportion to goods fur nished or services rendered have been paid Prominent among them are the bills for the reviewing stand on the Plaza for which it appears from the evidence the City of Brooklyn has paid $114o) for stands cost ing about $3000 Kings County has paid $6000 for stands costing about The scandal which has culminated in the handing up of the indictments to day has been a matter that has created intense ex citement since it was first agitated The December grand jury which took tlie affair in hand has given up much of its time to the examination of the city and county officers including Mayor Boody Comptrol ler Jackson City Auditor Weber the com mittee of aidermen in charge of the cele bration County Auditor Keller Supervisor at

of Charles and Victoria Stone will prob ably' die The children aged 3 years and IS months respectively were at play in the attic of their home Gii Manton avenue The younger one had dragged out from the corner of the room a tin can contain ing fifteen pounds of gunpowder which was uncorked and one of the boys dropped in a lighted match In an instant there was a terrific explosion the windows of the house were blown out and the ceiling walls and door of the room were wrecked Mrs Stone rushed up stairs only' to find her two boys enveloped in the flames their cloth ing igniting They' were unconscious from the force of the explosion She carried one of the children to the room below and her 6 year old son who was in the attic with his brothers at the time carried the other Both mother and son were severely' burned about the hands and arms by con tact with the children Medical attendance was obtained almost immediately' the accident but nothing can be save the lives of the children whom are burned almost beyond tion Dr Steele of New York Has His Wife Imprisoned in tbe Gilsey House New York January Justice Barrett In the Supreme Court to day issued a writ of habeas corpus for the production of Mrs Edith Steele said to be imprisoned by her husband Dr Theophilus Steele at the Gilsev House this city On January' 3 Mrs Steele wrote to her lawyers Howe Hummel saying she had urgent business with them A junior law ver was sent to see Mrs Steele and she gave him instructions to bring an action for separation against her husband on the ground of crueltv She said he had threat ened her life and had made her give up to him her income from an estate valued at $42000 and also the income from the es tates of her children by a former marriage Tlie next day the lawyers received a let ti asking them to discontinue the suit Bv the same mall came another letter say ing: am locked up again in the Gilsey House I implore you to come to my aid at once Believe nothing that you hear but Mrs Steele also said that she had been dosed with drugs by her husband A lawyer was at once sent up to the hotel to see Mrs Steele but was denied admit tance to her presence by instructions from the husband The writ was served upon Dr Steele at the Gilsey House this afternoon He at first refused to accept the document throwing it upon the floor and displaying a violent tamper Ho final ly picked it up and walked away The writ is returnable at 10 to morrow New York January 6 Since Mr Cleve utterance relative to Edward Mur for the United States sen atorship Richard Croker has been asked a dozen times a day if he thought it would array the President elect and his policy against Tammany Hall Mr Croker has steadily declined to answer this question To day he spoke about it for the first time He was asked: you think Mr Cro ker that if Mr Murphy is elected Senator that Mr Cleveland in return for it will take up a position hostile to Tammany Mr Croker hesitated for a moment and then said he did not think that Air Cleve land would do so He spoke slowly he said friendship for Mr Murphy win not make Mr regular Democracy land is I think a a man of too high to allow himself to take such a step is my first reason for thinking so ond reason is as cogent Tammany' Hall went to Chicago opposed to Mr Cleveland V'e fought every inch of the ground until he was nominated Then we came out in his support and stood by him to a man until he was elected Now Mr Cleveland is op posed to us in the person of our candidate for Senator Mr Murphy The wishes of the regular Democracy will be respected by the assembly and Air Murphy will be elected Mr Cleveland is not the sort of man to turn on us because our candidate is elected Common gratitude would be enough for we did not turn on him when he was Mr Croker said that Air Murphy if elected would do all in his power to assist Mr Cleveland The now famous dinner at the Victoria was also referred to in talk It was reported that friends of Troy statesman had said that a true count of the affair would amply justify candidacy for the Senate chnw Kir Cleveland to lie inconsistent Croker was asked in the course of the in terview if it were true that the friends of Edward Murphy had concluded to make public their version of what had been said at the noted Cleveland dinner at the Vic toria which Messrs Croker Sheehan and Murph attended during the campaign said Mr Croker in answer to the question "I do not think that anything said at that dinner will be made public by any of those who were present Certainly none of these men present would seek to drag it into a public discussion The din ner was private and the publicity which the fact that it was given received was to show the country' that the Democratic party of the state was harmonious and in tended to give Mr Cleveland loyal and hearty support went on Mr Croker is much misunderstood about tlie senatorial contest There is no opposition to Mr Cleveland Mr Murphy candidacy is not opposition to him Mr Murphy as a Sen ator will not oppose Mr Cleveland and if Mr Cleveland knew Mr Murphy as well as I know him he would know that Mr Murph would make an able Senator and would become a great supporter and as sistant of the executive not be a great speaker admirable qualifications 4S 4 sw anrl If hn 1st Ul Cc 1 Id lUl a think Mr Cleveland will have any reason to regret "If he is elected you say Mr Croker? course I assume that he will be elected I do not think there is any ques tion about it and I do not think there will be a Democratic vote against you any information about Mr McLaughlin and Kings County?" I do not care to discuss how any leaders regard the matter or how any members of the Legislature except those from this county will vote but to answer your ques tion again I do not think the Victoria Hotel dinner will be a factor in the sena torial Richmond Va January 6 The list of invited guests to the great Democratic banquet to be given here the 25th includes the names of the President elect and Vice President elect of the United States the Senators and Congressmen from Virginia Gov McKinley ex Gov itz Lee Gov Russell of Massachusetts Senator Voor hees of Indiana Henry Watterson of

to Kentucky in order to confer with his friends regarding the successorship Be tween cbuary 1 and March 4 the Ken tucky Legislature will have an opportunity to choose a new Senator Judge Lindsay is believed to be the leading candidate but Congressman McCreary who has just re turned from Europe whither he went as a delegate to the international silver con ference will be in the field Mr McCreary was to day in consultation with the Ken tucky Senators about the matter and will follow Mr Carlisle to Kentucky in a few davs Mr Carlisle was finally induced to accept the Treasury portfolio through Mr insistance thht it is his desire to have a new tariff bill prepared by his Cabinet during the coming summer and that in this work he felt as if he must have the assistance of the Kentucky Senator So far as is known here only two places In the Cabinet have been tilled by Air Cleveland Carlisle will be Secretary of me Treasury and Dan Ixunont will be Secretary of the Navy or Postmaster General as the exegencies of Cabinet mak ing may make most convenient Without much doubt ex Gov Gray of Indiana will be Secretary of Agriculture if he decides to accept the place Seals tamps Tencils Traffic i Broadway Impeded and Other Streets Bloekaded New York January 6 Not since the ter rible fall of snow five years ago has New York experienced a storm that so nearly resembled a regular Dakota blizzard as that which has been blowing here since early last night Traffic on Broadway has bsen almost suspended while on some of the less prominent thoroughfares the block ade is complete In some places the snow has drifted until it Ls from four to five feet deep It began to grow colder yesterday toward the middle of the afternoon and the leaden colored clouds which had been gathering since morning assumed a trou bled threatening look The wind was un easy and blew in fierce gusts During the early evening the snowflakes which had en straggling down ail afternoon began to fall fast and furious The snow became fine ns dust as it increased in volume The wind blew hard whirling the dust like snow through the streets until one could scarce ly see the electric lamps a block awav Throughout the night

denial to the charge that the trust was behind the present speculative move ment in whisky company has made no purchase of Kentucky or other he said any view to profiting by the proposed increased revenue tax Large purchases have been made however by speculators both in the trade and outside of it Increased demand has sent' up the price on all grades of goods and like any other business establishment we have ad vanced the price of our goods Personally it looks to me as though the Scott bill raising the tax from ninety cents to $1 25 a gallon would be passed by Congress There is a doubt whether or not Congress would have the power to collect the in creased tax on the goods which may be in bond at the time of the passage of the law In former years when advances In the tax have been made the increase has applied only on goods made after the law is passed and the same procedure will be followed in this case I feel sure In such a case the passing of the bill would in no way jeopardize the stability of business as no large sum of money would be withdrawn from circulation The present speculative tendency I repeat is simply the outgrowth of agitation of the proposed increased tax The same thing occurred when advances in the taxes have been made in the DETROIT MICHIGAN SATURDAY JANUARY 7 TWELVE PAGES Rev raaclx Key Breoke OaaMHrtto at Toclc Ka Topeka Ks January
