The Question of Granting Special Ticenses to Two Local Associations.

Althongh it is probably an assured fact that 'the committee on licenses of the Board of Aldermen will report unfavorably on tbe petitions of the Boston Athletic Association and the Athletic by the way, is the borrowed name of a defunct amateur give sparring exhioi- tions in Music Hall, yet the consensus of opinion of parties interested is that any action on tbe part of the Aldermen as regards the petition of the Boston Athletic Axsociation will 'amount to nothing. Tbe Aldermen seem to think that any dis- on their part in deciding the merits of these petition.s would be unfair and Would subject them to criticism, which they are unwilling to meet. This criticism would come from two those who have a natural autipatny to sparring exhibitions of whatever class, and from professionals in general. The two organizations have totally different ends in view in giving their exhibitions. The Boston Athletic Association is a component part of tbe Amateur Athletic Union, which comprisMs all the amateur clubs of good staud- lug in the country.

It has a membership of about two thousand. The club gymnasium will accommodate not more than 500 of these members when any athletic exhibition is to be given. It would be manifestly unfair to discriminate agaiest members in issuing tickets to an athletic meeting of the importance that attaches to the proposed sparring tournament to which members of any club in the A. A. U.

are eligible to enter. To give every member a fair chance the committee haviug the meeting charge selected Music Hall as a suitable place to hold it. Here were accommodations for every member of the assnciatiou who might wish to see tbe sport. The meetiug is in no sense a scheme to make money. I'lo tickets will be sold at the door and the general public will not ba admitted.

Each member on application has been supplied with a member's card, together with eucb number of invitations as be has ordered. An assessment will be levied pro rata upon these members according to the number of tickets ordered. Tins assessment will cover the expenses of the rent of the hall, printing and purchase of medals. In the case of the Union Athletic Club, so the motive is altogether different. Six or seven men who have in the past been Ideniitied with professional sparring exhibitions have entered into a combination to make money.

Tickets will and mast be sold to the general public. Those who participate in tbe events will be professionals, and the events will probably tie governed by rules lormulated by the promoters of the meeting. Referring to tbe possibility of the Aldermen refusing the B. A A. petition, a gentleman thoroughly couversaut with statute law and flio city ordinances told a st reporter yesterday that the Board of Aldermen in his opinioh had no jurisdiction whatever in regard to tbe A.

A. meeting. It was just as much a private affair as if held in the club eymnasium. The reporter also interviewed Commissioners Whiting and Lea of tbe Board of Police, and both gentlemen were confident that they had no jurisdiction in the matter, and that they had no more right to send a detail of police to the hall than they had to invade the precincts of the club house cu Exeter street. Mr.

J. O. Shaw, Jr. who will act as referee at the meeting, was also seen. Jtle would have been glad if it bad been possible to secure a license from the Aldermen, as he was very confident the association would give a meeting that would, by its high standard, raise amateur sparring to its proper dignity as an athletic sport Pro- iessioual pugilism and sparring exhibitions under nondescript rules had poisoned tbe public mind against a legitimate and healthy sport He would have the Boston Athletic Association become a local missionary lu this work.

While much opposed to hnish contests, he could not but favor a three-round contest with gloves, even though there was some hard bitting, when compared with other events which often taxed the system to such an extent that complete and serious exhaustion followed. The loss of a little blood or a black eye was a trivial matter compared with a strain or rupture. Skating Carnival. The outlook for the success of the skating carnival to be held this afternoon on Spy Pond. Arlington, is very favorable.

Skaters of national and international fame have already arrived, and nothing but a sudden change in the can spoil the interest of ti meeting. The course marked out is directly in front ol the Arlington boat house, is circular in form, lour laps to the mile. The course was fioedad last svening and gave promise of being a good one. Spaces for the fancy skating been swept and watered. ak Hgeiwi's trisa, SERIOOS FIRE IN RUTLAND A Business Block Destroyed With $50,000 Loss COMPLETE LIST OF INSURANCE Business Concerns in Portland, Burned Out utland VL, Jan.

A DYNAMITElixPLOSlON. Somerville Tool House Blown to Atoms, but No One Is Injured. Four pounds of dynamite, placed in a tool house on Holland street. some unknown cause exploded yesterday morning at about 7:30 The tool hou.se. a small building, one story in height and six or eight feet sqnare, was blown to atoms and the tools inside scattered in every direction.

Although several workmen were in the vicinity at the time, none of them were injured. The windows in a number of the dwelling houses near by were broken by the concussion. Otherwise there was no damage except the destruction of tho tool house and its contents. The dynamite was to be used for blasting, being kept in quantity in the rear of the city crusher, whence it is taken to tbe powder house and -warmed, as required, for use, for when left in the cold it freezes. This was done this morning, when the workman in cliarge found that he had not enough for the work in hand.

He accordingly went for more, leaving the dynamite about six feet from the fire. He bad not gone far, however, wheu the explo.siou occurred. WILL BE BURIED TOMORROW. Death of Mrs. Almira Lonise VInal, Widow of KobNft A.

WATER SUPPLY, The City Council Recommended to Purchase the Mystic Water Works. The Somerville Mystic Water Board in its annual report recommends that the City Couu- cii take active steps for the purchase of the My.stic Water Works now owned by the city of Boston, The board firmly believes it to be for the best interests of the city to obtain control of this system of water supply if possible. Charlestown now being supplied with water from the Cochituate system. Somerville, Chelsea and Everett are the only takers of the Mystic supply, and interest in what is to them practically an outside affair cannot reasonably be expected to be very great. The system is of great importance to Somerville, as it 18 its only source of water supply.

Mystic Lake being fed by springs, ilie water is naturally pure, and it is expected that wheu the metropolitan sewerage system is completed aud the drainage from the towns now bordering on the lake is thus disposed of. the quality of the water will be greatly improved, and with a reasonable degres of effort further pollution can be checked. It is understood That the Boston Water Board would entertain a proposition from Somerville to purchase the system, it is not unlikely that the City Council of Somerville will give the matter its serious attention in tbe near future.

BALL AT REVERE. kveke Jan. pecial to the Posx.J— The first Grand Army ball ever given in Revere was held by William B. Eaton Post 199 at the Town Hall tonight. About seventy-five couples were present, among whom was Mr.

Andover, while playing hockey on Lake Whitney this afternoon, was struck betweenflthe eyes with the ball, which smashed bis glasses and it is tiiought that he wiU Wse tbe sight ei one of AN ALL-NIGHT SESSION FROM FIRST publican Senators in stifling discussion by moving to lay amendments on the table. In the course ot a colloquy between Mr, Faulkner, Mr, Gray and Mr, Spooner, tbe latter stated, as an illustration of what the bill meant, that if he had a boil on the back of his neck he would not think it to place a poultice over his whole back.

The illustration was taken aovantage of by Mr. Faulkner who saw in it a discarding of the mask and an admissiou that the bill was a partisan and a sectional measure to be put in force only in one part of the country. A Midnight Talking Match. Faulkner is still addressing the Senate on his amendment, and has been speaking now about an hour. He seems good for several hours yet, and it is pretty evident that the object of the Democratic side is to occupy time.

There are not more than a dozen Senators on each side of the chamber; but there are large reserves in the cloakrooms and committee rooms ready to meet any phase of the Question that may present itself. Various efforts have been made by Mr. Faulkner, but without success, to gaad Mr. Spooner, whom, he said. Mr.

Hoarhaa left in his place while he himself retired for refreshment, to take part in the discussion. Mr. Spooner disclaimed having been left by Mr. Hoar and declared that be was present his own but he declined to walk iuto the trap Mr. Faulkner had prepared for him.

The galleries, which earlier in the night were overcrowded, are now nearly empty. There is a general air of weariness about all who are present, but the prospect at this moment is that the session will continue through the watches of the night and perhaps all day tomorrow, Mr. Pasco a short time ago directed the attention of the chair to the absence of a quorum, and as the call is being made Senators troop into the chamber and prove that there are a few more present than are needed to constitute a quorum. Mr. Faulkner continued speaking till 1:20, when the absence of a quorum was again brought to the attention of the chair by Mr.

Sanders. The call of the roll showed that there were Only Thlrty-Slx Senators Present, only five of that number being Democrats. A motion was made by Mr. Hoar to compel the attendence of ab.sentees, but Mr. Harris made the point of order that tbe first motion under the rules was to direct the arms to request the attendance of absent Senators.

The presiding oflicer (Mr. Washburn) sustained the point of order, and Mr. Hoar changed his motion accordingly. The motion was agreed to and a list of tho absentees was furnished to the sergeaul-at-arras, ivho spatched messengers to carry out the order of tr.e Senate. The Democrats present were Messrs.

Cockrell, Faulkner, Gorman, Harris aud Ptvsco. Before the list had been banded to the sergeant-at-arins, five more Senators, all Republicans, had answered, making the whole number present forty-one, or four less than a quorum. Up to 2 no Senator had presented iiim.self lu compliance with the request and it looked R.S if a quorum might not be secured. Duriugthe time that the messengers were calling at the hotels and residences of the absentees. All Business Was Suspended, At 2:15 Mr.

Hoar asked the presiding officer (Mr. Washburn) whether any report had been made by the sergeant-at-arms, but was informed that one Senator bad been seen and said that he was too ill to be present, and another who had said that he was too fatigued. A motion was then made by Mr. Edmunds, aud was agreed to. directing the sergeant-at-arms to use all necessary means to compel the attendance of all absent Senators except those who are ill.

The first of the absentees to obey the mandate of the Senate was Mr, Call, who came in He was followed soon after by Mr. Daniel, who attributed his absence fco the fact that he was paired. Then Mr. Jones of Arkansas presented himself and the quorum lacked but one Senator. IN TH3 HOUSE.

Mr. Langston, the Negro, Makes a Little Speech in Favor of the Force Bill. W' ashington Jan. the House today Mr, Dingley of Maine, from the silver pool committee, reported a resolution giving that committee leave to sit during tbe session of the House, aud granting it power to conduct the investigation outside of Washington if deemed desirable. Adopted.

The House went into committee of the whole on tbe District of Columbia appropriation bill. Mr. Rogers of Arkansas, after paying his respects to parliamentary law as recognized by the Speaker, passed on to a brief discussion of the free coinage bill. He appealed to the Republican majority not to ask once more the distinguished Speaker to assume any further responsibility in regard to the silver question. When in the history of the country had a Speaker ever met the demands of his party more bravely or more courageously than had the present more disastrously? Had it come to this, that alter the Speaker had suffered the terrible penalty resulting from the responsibility thrust upon him by party caucus, that his party would ask him to make still further sacrifices? He (Mr, Rogers) submitted to gentlemen on the other side that if there was further responsibility to be borne on this silver question it should be borne by a gentleman at the other end of the avenue and by those who openly and boldly denounced free silver.

Against the Subsidy Scbsme. Mr. Shively of Indiana snoke in opposition to tbe shipping bill, which be characterized as being in tbe line of a discordant, corrupt and suicidal policy. It was but a legal grand larceny of the public revenue. Referring to the reciprocity features of the McKinley bill, he criticised them as pronositious which would narrow instead of broaden our commercial trade.

The subsidy Dill was a proper complement to that measure. What right had gentlemen to asE gratuities in tbe name of our merchant marine in the face of the barbarous provisious of our navigation laws? That code, from first to last, subordinated the vast and commanding interests of ocean commerce to the inferior and local interests of shipbuilding. Commerce itself was chained to the greed and caprine of the maker of its tools. The code outlawed all commerce which did not first pay tribute to theCtesarsof our shipyards. It denied the protection of the American flag to American capital invested on principles of prudence, economy and thrift, aud extended its protection only to tbe investment made against the plainest dictates of business sense aud in the face of inevitable insolvency.

Pass this bill, said he. unloose this tiger, and then see whether it could be chained again. 1 Jccnse this interest to prey on the public revenues and it would overawe Congress and laugh at the limitations of the law. It would sacrifice million.s to renew its lease aud perpetuate its power. It would subsidize party organizations, dictate party platforms, command notninatlons and enlist every venal newspaper in the land in its service.

It elect Presidents, choose Representatives aud invade State capitals in order to purchase tools in the United States Senate. It would project its debauchipg influence into every department of tho government and infect- with it! leprous corruption every fibre of our national life. The general principle underly. ing the whole subsidy system was inherently vicious and constitutionally alien to our Institutions. No genius could give it grace; no magic could impart to it righteousness.

A Black Man Takes the Floor. Mr. Langston of Virginia made a speech in support of the election bill. Black as the men of his race were, said he, there were no men who could go ahead of them in devotion to their country, to its free institutions; for they held their lives, property and their sacred honor in pledge to the welfare of their fellow-citizens. on the Republican Did the country want men to fight? Call the negroes and thev would come.

Did the white men want men to tarry at home to care for their and children and property? Call the negro: and. if they found a negro that had betrayed his trust in a single case, lot them place their finger upon him and he (Mr. Langston) would aid in lynching him. and applause. But such an instance could not be found.

General Andrew Jackson had, in his address to his troops, alluded to the negroes as and had taught them that this was their home; and, in the name of Jackson, he (Langston) declared, in this sacred place, that they were here to stay. They would never go away. Here they were and here they were to stay. (Laughter and He gave his Democratic friends warning that they might ttuQii ueieco would still remain. Abuse them as thev would, the negroes would multiply in numbers; and.

instead of finding every day 600 black babies turning up tbeir bright eyes to the sun. that number woula be 5000, aud still multiplying, Congress was confronted. Mr. Langston said, with the question whether every American citizen, every American elector in the North and in tbe South should be permitted to wield a free ballot in the intere.st of our common country and of free institutions. The genuine Americ.ans (mainly fout in tne Republican party, though some were Democrats by mistake) were standing boldly to meet this It was not alone the negro who snould be protected in the South; it was tbe white men who voted the Republican ticket.

Abuse tbe negroes, if necess.ary, but, for sake, stop abusing the white man. Stop insulting white women because their fathers nr husbands voted the Republican ticket. He would pass bills and pile up penalties, aud put behind every ballot soldiers until they rose un to the tops of tbe mountains and kissed the stars, in order to put the.se,men and women in the sure consciousness of their protection by law. In conclusion he made an earnest appeal for the passage of the elections bill, and was heartily applauded by the Republicans. The district appropriation bill was then read by p.aragraphs for amendment, but uo progress was made, and the committee having arisen ths House took a recess until 8 At the evening session the House passed seventy private neusion bills, including one ranting a pension of $50 a month to General ranz Slgel and one granting a pension of $100 a month to General N.

F. Banks. The passage of the latter bill was greeted with general applause on both sides of the House. SOSPICIOOS HOSTILES CONVENTION. Flection of Meeting to Be Held at Omaha.

Indians Seem Reluctant to Give Up Their Arms GENERAL MILES VERY PATIENT Miss Elaine Goodale's Version of the Wounded Knee Battle ine idge A gency S. Jan. morning it was reported on good authority that General Miles had ordered civilians to keep out of the hostile camp because he intended to disarm the Indians if he had to shell their camp to accomplish his purpose.

Adjutant-General Corbin'w'ould neither admit nor deny that such a coarse had been decided upon. So long, he said, as the arms were being gifven up by the Indians there was no necessity to use force to compel a more speeuy surrender of the weapons. General Miles was disposed to be patient so long as tbe Indians seemed ready to comply with his demands. This morning about twenty Indians came into the agency under Little dilapidated liwking sport in a battered white and surrendered thirty-one guns, some Win- che.sters and some old as the flood. The weapons were received in tho name of General Miles, and turned over to Agent Pierce and tagged with the and names for safe'xeeping.

The delegation was as motly a crowd of craftv warriors as mortal ever gazed upon. They kept their eyes steadily fixed upon General headquarters aud seemed disappointed because he did not appear. Their clothing was not searched, but no one doubted that they bore bidden arms which would not hesitate to use in an emergency. Thus far fifty-one guns have been turned over out of at least fourteen hundred, which the hostiles are believed to posvsess. The Cheyennes belonging to Little and Standing band lett today for Tongue River.

It has been decided that they cannot live comfortably among the Sioux. AN OLD GRUDGE TO Miss Flalne Version of the Wounded Knee Battle, ashington Jan. Elaine Goodale, supervisor of education at tbe Pine Ridge agency, has made a report to the Indiau Office, in which she gives her version of the battle at Wounded Knee. She was not an eye-witness of the tight, but says her information was obtained chiefly from Indian prisoners who engaged in it and half-breeds who were present, aud from parties who visited the battle-field several days after the encounter. She says: The testimony of the survivors of Big baud is unanimous on one important point, namely, that the ludiaus did not deliberately plan a resistance.

The party was not a war party, according to their statements (which I beheve to be true), but a party intending to visit the agency at the invitation of Red Cloud. The Indians say that many of the men were unarmed. When they met the troops they anticipated no trouble. There was constant friendly intercourse between the soldiers and the Indians, even women shaking h.ands with the officers and men. The demand for their arms was a surprise to the ludians, but the great majority of them chose to submit quietly.

The tepees iiad alreacy been searcbea and a large number of gnus, knives and hatchets confiscated, wiien the searching of the persons of the men was begun. The women say that they. too. were searched, and their knives (which they always carried for domestic purposes) taken from them. A number of the men had surrendered their rifles and cartridges, wheu one young man (who is described by the Indians as a good-for-nothing young fellow) fired a siinglo shot.

This called forth a volley from the troops and the firing and confusion became general. Miss Goodale does not credit the statement that women carried arms and participated in tho fight. The weight of testimony, she says, is overwhelmingly against this supposition. There may have been one or two isolated cases of this kind, but there is no doubt that tbe majority of the women and children, as well as many unarmed men and youths, had no thought of anything but flight. "They were pursued up the ravines and down indiscriminately by the Miss Goodale says in conclusion.

"It is reported tliat one of the officers called out. shoot the the meu were doubtless too much excited to obey. The killing of the women and children was iu part unavoidable. owing to the confusion, hut I think there is uo doubt that it was in many cases deliberate and intentional.
