AROUND THE WORLD.

INTELLIGENCE FROM EVERY PART OF THE GLOBE. News from Bmipi Shores—DommMo Hap* pollings—Peceenal Pointers—Labor Notes I Political Occurrences Pines, Accidents, Crimes, Ejc. A TCMUJ.T IN THE HOUSE. Mr. Mills Charges the Speaker with Intention illy Practicing Fraud. The House, on the 20th. “experienced the Btormiest scene of a very stormy Congress. The trouble arose over a raction to approve the journal without debate. Hard words passed between Mr. Mills and Mr. McKinley, and it was not until the Sergeant-at-arms and some friends had forced Mr. Mills Into his seat was order restored. The now has significance from tfne fact that the leaders of both sides o 1 the Ho.ise were the principals. The scene i® the House was re-enacted in the Senate, when Mr. George, of Mississippi, refused to yield the floor to Mr. Aldrich, who was anxious to present the ckitawe resolution. Mr. George had the floor when the Senate ad journed the previous night, and paliaamentary rules gave it to him at reassembly. Mr. George’s plan is apparently, to hold tire cloture off indefinitely. The pT >speeti-ve struggle over the force hill is the .all-ab-sorbing topic. Both sides are anxiously counting noses. ,

„ Furaitwne lor Fuel. Governor Humphrey, at Topeka, received through the Board-of Railroad’Comnuis.ioners a dispatch from Rawlins County stating that the suffering A® Northwest :rn Kansas due to hunger and cold was greater than had been reported, and that immediate steps must be take® to render assistance. A message was hastily drawn .up and submitted to the Legislature advising an emergency bill, by which coal could be shipped at the State's expense from the coal-mines near Leavenworth, llr. York, the Representative of Rawlins, was given permission to lay before tlnuHouse the condition of affairs in liis county, lie said that he was in receipts a long dispatch, which stated that an any of the settlers were burning their furniture, and that more than twelve inches of snow covered the ground. Death -of King Kalakaua. King Kalakaim. who came to this country about a month ago, died at the Palace Hotel In San Francisco. There had been no hope of the King's recovery since Sunday, though his alarming condition was not geneixUy known until the attending physicians announced that his malady was Bright's disease of the kidneys and uraemia. Kalakaua's visit to this country was made on account of his failing health. Ho commenced to gain strength soon after his arrival here, but the improvement was only temporary, and soon after his return from a trip to Southern California Ids condition became much worse. During .the last few days the King was unconscious nearly all the time, and his life was prolonged only by the uso of stimulants.

Fence Jit Fine Ridge. The excitement over the Ten Tails murder has died out. The commanding General’s talk to tMe chiefs has resulted in a thorough understanding on their part that the civilian murderer will be brought to justice. Ali the troops, barring the First Infantry, will be drawn up for review at Wolf Creek. The place selected is just two miles from the agency and is shut out from sight of the Indians by a ridge of hills. The particular reviewing ground was selected on account of the fact that the bucks if they saw the troops in such array might misunderstand its meaning. Teachers Averted a Faille. At St. Louis the cool-beadedness and presence of mind displayed by the teachers of Shaw School averted what would otherwise have developed int® a panic, attended with loss of life among the pupils. Fire was discovered in the basement, and the children became greatly excited, but were all gotten out safely. Loss, 83,003. Shot and Killed Mis Wire. At Syracuse, N. Y., John Baker, a Chicago drummer, shot and killed his wife in a school she was employed as a teacher.

In the United States Court at Chicago Judges Gresham and Blodgett refused the application of the Pullman Palace Car Company for an injunction to restrain the Lake Shore and Michigan Central railways from using the Wagner vestibuled trains. The Bow in Chili. The latest advices received from Chili show that there is no improvement in the state of affairs in that disturbed republic. It also seems possible that a portion of the British fleet in the South Pacific Ocean may soon be investigating the disturbance. Bancroft’s Funorml. Funeral services over the remains of the late George Bancroft, the venerable historian. were held at St. John’s Protestant Episcopal Church at Washington. To Tost the Tariff Law. Several St. Louis importers have filed suit against the United States Government to test the constitutionality of the McKinley law. Wanted to Swing a Wire-Beater. An unsuccessful attempt was made at Lombard, a suburb of Chicago, to lynch a wife-beater named Miller. A Motor Company’s Loss.

The Missouri Biver is still open in South Dakota, with the temperature at 65 degreat As the river usually breaks up in February fears are entertained that there be bo ice crop.

KOCH'S CiytE FOB CONSUMPTION. Tb« Berlin Doctor Tells the World How It Is Made. f r Plot. Koch’s rep rt describing the compo'sltilon of his lymph is comparatively brief. It says rhsjymph consists of aglyceriue extract derived from the pure cultivation of the tubercle bacilli. Prof. Koch says: Since publishing, two months a?o. the results of my experiments with the new remedy for tuberculosis, many physicians who received the preparation have been enabled to become acquainted with Its properties through their own experiments. So far as I have been able to review the statements published and the communications received by letter, my indications have been fully and completely confirmed. The general consensus of opinion-is that the remedy has a specific effect upon tubercular tissues, an 1 is. therefore, applicable as a very delicate and sure agent for discovering latent and diagnosing doubtful tuberculosis processes. Regarding the curative effects of the remedy, most repons agree that, despite me comparatively short duration of its application, many patients have shown more or less pronounced improvement. It has been affirmed that, in not a few cases, even a cure has been established. Standing quite by Itself is the assertkm that the remedy may nor. only be dangerous in cases which have advanced too far —a fact which may forthwith he conceded—but also that it actually promotes tuberculous process, being therefore injurious.

BUSINESS PICKING UP.

Reports Indicate an Increase in Volume During tlie Meek. R. G. Dun & Co. ’s weekly review of trade says' How far tire situation and prospect may be changed by the passage of a Free Coinage bill by the Senate is as yet mainly a matter of conjecture. Reports of the state of trade at different points reflect mainly a situation prior to that vote, and show general improvement ir. the volume of business, easier money markets, and a more cheering outlook. The exporis of merchandise heavily exceed imports in value; at New York for January thus far the increase in exports over last year has been 81,400,000. or about 12 per cent., while the imports here show a decline of 52.900,000. or about 15 per cent. The preliminary reports of exports of cotton, breadstuffs, provisions, cattle, and petroleum in December were almost unprecedented. Hence it appears that the excess of exports in December was very large in spite of the decline in movement of breadstuffs which higher prices tend to prolong. For the last week, with wheat 1 cent higher, corn and oats practically unchanged, and cotton three-sixteenths Higher, exports of wheat have been only about half of last year’s, of flour less than a quarter, and of corn only one-eightb. while the exports of cotton show a decrease for the week in spite of a considerable increase in receipts. Pork lias ndt changed, but lard and hops are lower, oil is cents lower, and the speculative markets are generally weak ouiside of those above mentioned. *> IT’S A REAL SURRENDER. Hostile* Turn Over a Lot of Good Gun*. A lot of arms have been turned in to Captain Pierce by the hostile*. They informed him that a systematic search was being made in their tepees for weapons, and th >se found would be turned over immediately. The exact number of arms surrendered can not bo ascertained from the custodian, though the latter placed the number at about 500. At headquarters it is claimed the arms turned over exceed in number any received by them under similar circumstances in the histo yof the army. General Miles will leave for the East some time next week, unless something unusual should take place, and General Brooke will assume command.of the forces which may remain in the field. It is rumored that four companies Of the Second Infantry from Omaha, General Wheaton, will remain during the winter and that the other four companies will return home. TO BE EXPELLED FROM THE NATION.

Non-Citizens in the CMckasaw Territory to Be Exiled. A meeting of the squaw-men of tlie Chickasaw Nation was held in Pnrcell, [. T., to oppose the allotment of tribal lands in severalty and tlie Statehood movements for the Indian Nation. Tlje convention indorsed Gov. Byrd’s policy and promised to aid him in expelling Intruders from the Nation. They urged that tlie editors of leading papers favoring tlie allotment and Statehood movements be exiled. There are 35.000 non-citizens in this country, and this element is too powerful for the Indian Government to force tlie collection of tlie tribal tax or put them out of the country. The non-citizens are uneasy at this proposed wholesale expulsion, ns they feel that tlie Government Is in earnest and fear that the United Stut%s may accede. SELL PORK TO CANADA. Canadians Buy a l arge Share of Car Hog Product. When the tariff changes were announced last year Canada pork-puckers estimated that the duty imposed on pork would be something like S(i per barrel, and this they thought would enable them to compete successfully with their American confrere), but their success has not materialized, and its failure to do' so is alleged to be due to tlie interpretation of the tariff by the Minister of Justice. Tlie packers maintain that it was the Government's intention to have all pork but mess, which was to pay one and one-half cents per pound, pay three cents per pound, but that through an oversight the schedule, instead of reading mess pork, read simply pork one and lone-lialf cents.

FAKWELL ISN’T IN IT. Oglesby the Republican Candidate lor Senator from Illinois. Richard J. Oglesby is for the seeond time in his life the candidate of the Republican party of Illinois for a seat in tlie ‘Senate of the United States. His nomination was made on the first regular ballot of the Senatorial caucus at Springfield. He received more votes than were necessary to make him the choice of the party, and on motion of Senator Charles H. Crawford the nomination of Gov. Oglesby was made unanimous. The result was not unexpected—in fact, little or no surprise was expressed, at the result. Senator Far we 11 was opposed by the farmers because lie was a millionaire, and the farmers were mainly instrumental in defeating him. Hard Times Made Him a Robber. At Bells, Tex., George Smith, a farmer, entered a saloon and compelled seven men at the point of a revolver to hand over their money and valuables. As he was leaving the saloon Jim Sibel, the Town Marshal, fired, but missed him, and Smith .returned the shot and the bullet entered Slbells head. He will die. Smith was afterward captured and placedjail in spite of the efforts of the mob to lynch him. He said that hard times and pOCr crops decided him to become a robber. -Indians Cause Trouble in Washington. Indians near Coulee City. Wash., are in war paint, and the young bucks are all eager to go on the warpath. The people are alarmed all along the line qf the rail-, road, and especially on the border of the

reservation. The following petition was sent from Spring Coulee, Okanogan County, to the commander of Spokane Post: “We, citizens of Okanogan, ask and demand that you kutd troops to protect its against Indians who are preparing for an outbreak. There is imminent danger of trouble. There will! probably be fighting ere you get this. Indians here and from British Colombia are all armed for war,’’ « George Bancroft G mo. The news of the deatli George Ban- ; croft, the great historian. ,-<jmes from Wash- ; ington. Mr. Bancroft ’had been in bad | health for over twa years and the increas-

ing infirmities incident to his old age at last brought about his death. He was born in Worcester, Mass., in 1800, and became famous through his History if the United States. To Muvo on tlie Cherokee Strip. Since the introduction in the Kansas House of Representatives by Congressman Mansur of a bill to open up the Cherokee Strip to settlement immediately and treat with the Indian afterward, tlie “boomers” inthe vicinity have been actively at wo*rk sending out circulars to the members of the O’Connor and Dill colony for a concentration of forces at that p tint for an immediate invasion of the strip. The colony consists of 3.003 members, and a private letter has been mailed to each one to assemble on or before Jan. 23, and be prepared to make their permanent home in tbeCherokeo Strip.

I’eelines a Big Offer. Senator Spooner Is said to have declined an offer of 825.000 a year to locate iri Chicago and become Solicitor General of tlie Chicago and Milwaukee Railway after his retirement from the Senate. It is said to be his dedre to remain a resident of Wisconsin, and Milwaukee will b : his future home.

Columbus, Ohio, is without a single nat-ural-gas fire, and numerous cases of great inconvenience are reported on account of tlie sudden cut-off of the supply. Tlie company says that in all probability the gas will never be turned on again, as the supply will hot bo sufficient for practical use.

It is a curious fact,-too. that in the same week the births have decreased 305 from the average. Northwestern Wheat Statistics.

Tlie Market Record estimates the stock in country elevators of Minnesota and the two Dakotas at 8,540,000 bushels, a decrease of 235,000 compared with last week.
