Satisfactory manner. It is certainly with pleasure that John Ward Walker looks oack over more than a third of a century of successful mercantile life in Greenfield and knows that he is honored and esteemed by all men. All connected with the store act very correctly in following the example set by the head of the hon and deal honestly and fairly with all patrons.

It is with pleasure that the REPUBLICAN commends the firm, the employees and the big store. May they live long and prosper.

The Commercial Club, of Richmond is erecting a handsome five story $100,000 hotel. The business men of Kentland, Ind., have just completed a flue hotel built by stock subscription.

REPUBL

GREENFIELD, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY IT, 1895. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR,

Have Been Felt by Some of the People of China.

THE REPORTS FROM MANCHURIA

Say Everything Has Been Burned and That the Population Has Perished From Cold.

SURVIVORS BECOME SAVAGES,

Aud Have Lost All Human Feeling—Impossible to Procure Either Food or Clothing—Movement of Troops of lioth Armies Hindered by the Want of Supplies.

Even the Stolid Chinese Are Appalled at the Prospects of an Extension of the Scenes—The Slancliu Princes Will Defend Their Section of the Country Jii Order to

Stop the Chinese Officials' Intrigues.

TIKN-TSIN, Jan. 14.—Chinese, who have arrived from Manchuria, bring ghastly reports of the desolation of the country between the Yalu river and the Liao Ho, recalling tho worst horrors of the Taiping rebellion. Not a house is standing. Everything has been burned, and whole populations has perished. Only scattered groups of frozen corpses are seen, apparently those of entire families. Neither food nor fuel is procurable.

Stragglers from the Chinese army, who have taken refuge in the hills, have become savages, lost to all human feelings. Tho sufferings of the wounded are terrible. The movements of both the Chinese and Japanese troops are hindered by the failure of supplies from the terrified populace. The prospects of an extension of suoh scenes appals even the stolid Chinese.

Tired of Intrigues.

The Manchu princes have taken the defense of the country into their own hands in order to prevent the intrigues of the Chinese officials. The central government is bewildered and helpless. Li Hung Chang, although he has been relieved of all his functions except the governor generalship of his province, still exercises indirect influence over the various officials.

PROGRAM OF CONGRESS.

Income Tax and Nicaragua Canal in the Senate—House Undccided. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—The prospect

is that the time of the senate will be divided during the week between the discussion of the income tax, based on tho urgent deliciency bill, and the continuation of the debate on the Nicaragua bill.

Senator Cockrell, chairman of the committee ou appropriations, is very hopeful of being able to dispose of the income tax question by the time the week shall be half gone, and if he should succeed in this Senator Morgan, who is in charge of the Nicaragua bill, thinks tliero will be no difficulty in securing a vote on the canal bill before the close of the week, thus leaving the way clear for the bankruptcy aud territory admission and other bills as well as the other appropriation bills.

Chairman Cockrell does not regard seriously the prospect of the prolonging of the income tax question. There will be several speeches which, while based on the deficiency bill, will be directed to the discussion of general financial questions. There is no disposition on the part of the appropriations committee to curtail these speeches, but there has come to be some talk of night sessions in case they get too numerous, or if the disposition to filibuster should appear to be more pronounced than now appears probable.

Senator Gorman will probably find opportunity today to make the speech which he had intended to make Saturday.

So far as known there are only three more general speeches to be made on the Nicaragua bill, but it is probable that others will yet be announced. Senator Turpie will speak again on the bill, and Senators Vest and White have announced a desire to be heard before the vote shall be taken.

Saturday will be given up to eulogies on the character of the late Senator Vance.

House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—There is no definite program for the house this Week. There is a bare possibility that a new currency bill will be thrown into the arena of debate, but it is only a possibility. The concensus of opinion now seems to be that any proposed currency legislation to bo successful must be initiated at the other end of the Capitol.

Today is District of Columbia day. and on Tuesday the house probably will take up the consideration of the Indian appropriation bill, which was reported Saturday, which is the only appropriation bill on the calendar.

If the sundry civil appropriation bill (the most important of the bills not reported) before tho Indian bill is disposed of, the committee on rules probably will give the evening time to business from various committees.

A day may be given to tne considerfcion of the findings of the court of alaims.

No Dogs Are These.

UPPER SANDUSKY, O., Jan. 14.—The three bears that escaped Monday from an Italian showman are still at large, although half a dozen scouting parties have b6en out two days. Several shots have been fired at the animals. While some children were on their way to school at Blue Ridge one of the bears started toward them. Philip Steinway was attacked by another bear near Lowery woods, bat beat it off with a fence rail. The militia will go out and sur

round

Lowery's woods.

The Walnut Ridge school house burned to the ground Tuesday, Jan. 8. Soon after school hours it was discovered on fire, but the flames had gained great headway and all efforts to save the building were fruitless, though most of the furniture was saved. The building was owned by the Society of Friends, and leased to the township. It was insured for $G00, insurance on furniture $200. A defective flue was the probable cause. It is said the old toll-gate house will be put iu order and used until a new school house cau be erected. Carthage Record.
