Richmond Furnishes Flgares to Prove Tier Need of Public Building; Special to the Indiarsnolis Jonrna. Washington, March 5.General Browne pre- . eented in the House, to-day, and Mr. Voorhoes laid before the Senate, duplicates of a eommuni- '. cation from the Richpond Board of Trade, giv- , ing reasons for the erection of a public building ' there. It was referred to the committee on publie buildings and grounds. The document gives data showing receipts at postofflces at Indianapolis, Evans ville, Fort Wayne .and Terre Haute, which have publie buildings, and at Richmond, South Bend and Lafayette, where buildings are leased, which shows that the per cent of expenses to gross receipts is as follows at each place named: Indianapolis, 44; Evansville, 48; Fort Wayne, 61; 1 erre Haute, 55; Richmond. 48; South Bend, 50; Lafayette, 54. During 18S7 there were 3,432,023 pieces of mail matter handled at Richmond. The present postofSce building is represented to have insufficient light, room, beat, ventilation and accommodation generally, while there is constant danger of fire. No action has yet been taken by the committee in either house on the bilis introduced for the Richmond public building. Pension for a Chinaman. , Special to the ludianasolis Journal. Washington, March 5. Last week the name of Ah Lin was placed on the pension roll, at the department here, at the rate of $3 a month. Ah Lin is the first Chinaman to receive a pension from the United States government. He is a resident of San Francisco, but still bears allegiance to the Celestial Empire. Ah Lin enlisted in the United States navy a3 a landsman less than a decade ego, adn shipped on the Hart ford. This imitation war vessel went to South America, and after cruising around for several months steamed into the harbor at one of the cities on the coast of Peru. As she was doing this a salute was fired, during which a gun burst, and so fractured Ah Lin's left leg that he was made a life cripple. This occurred on Aug. 28. 1884. and on Slav 26, 1885, he applied for a pension, from which day it is now lated, and be is given over $250 by the retroaction. The pension is paid in the care of the Chinese vice-oonsul at San Francisco. If Ah Lin lived in his native country he would be regarded equal to a count, with a dowry of no mean proportion, and would fare sumptuously. He was a faithful seaman, and the officers at the Pension Office are proud of the opportunity to grant the pension. IIow Thaddens Stevens Played Faro. Washington Gossip in Philadelphia Press. It is an open secret that the great commoner, Tbaddeus Stevens, was much addicted to playing faro, and at times he was a high better. He preferred to play against the dealing of Gen. Wilkinson, who was his personal friend and a gentleman in every attribute, although following the profession of gaming. Every night, when the weather permitted, Thaddens Stevens entered Gen. Wilkinson's establishment, took his favorite seat at the table, which all players intuitively yielded him as a pre-emptive right, bought $100 worth of checks and silently made his play. When the hour of midnight came Mr. Stevens invariably retired, whether winner or loser, and Gen. Wilkinson provided him with a "night-liner" back, topped by an aged colored driver, who carefully drove the great commoner home to his lodgings and returned to report that all was safe. - A Much-Needed Law.

Congressman Thomas, of Illinois, will introduce in the House tomorrow a bill providing penalties for the unauthorized publication or issue of the portrait or alleged likeness of any female, the wife, mother, daughter or sister of a public official or citizen tor use as an advertising medium or other purpose. Mr. Thomas says he is moved to present this measure because of the fact that portraits of the wife ef the President and other ladies of prominence are being used by unscrupulous . dealers and manufacturers in connection with their advertisements in a way that must prove annoying to the subjects. The bill prescribes a penalty of from $500 to $5,009 and imprison xnnt" The Sugar Men. Washington Special.

THE GERMAN CEOWN PRINCE

Prof. Walderaeyer Confirms the Dis- & tressing Reports of Saturday Last. Expectation that the Prince Will Return to Berlin About the End of March Princa William Invested with Kingly Powers. GOING HOME TO VIE. Saturday's Distressing: Reports Concerning the German Crown Prince Confirmed. Berlin, March 5. Dr. Waldemeyer has for warded a longer and probably final report of the Crown Prince's case to the Emperor. It con firms the semi-official reports made on Saturday last. To-night's papers confirm .the statement made last Saturday, that the main reason for Prince William's visit to San Remo is to urge the Crown Prince to return to Berlin. It is announced that Prince William took an autograph letter from the Emperor, expressing the wish that the Crown Prince return to Berlin as soon as possible. It is expected that he will meet the Emperor's desire and return at the end of March. Great preparations have been commenced at the palace for the reception of the Crown Prince's family. Two councilors are to be attached to Prince'William's suite. whose duties will be to report to him on state affairs. Professor Gneist has been named as one of the councilors. An eminent general will also be appointed to be in special attend ance upon the Prince and advise him on military matters. The ministerial order empowering Prince William to sign royal decrees and ordinances, should occasion arise, dates from the 1st of December. The Crown Prince has assented to this arrangement. Dr. Mackenzie Still Confident. Sinalley's Cable Special to New York Tribune. People continue to believe the worst about the Crown Prince. Bulletins are read backward, or, at least, ominous hints are sup posed to be discoverable between the lines. The fresh alarm springs from the sudden embargo on special dispatches. The doctors at San Kemo nave all been requested to refrain from talking with correspondents. I happened to hear to-dav from a source beyond question what Sir Morell Mackenzie writes home. All the symptoms which have been thonght so menacing since tracheotomy was performed were foretold by him before the operation. Not one of them implies real or imminent danger. Sir Morell still maintains bis first opinion, that evidence of cancer is lacking, and is still hopeful that the Prince's life may be prolonged, It does not appear that he says how many weeks or months. ' Wnat Tracheotomy Is. Hew York World. The operation of tracheotomy recently per formed upon the Crown Prince of Germany is not nearly so bad as it sounds. Experienced surgeons regard it as a very simple bit of surgery. They say that it very seldom proves fa tal never, in fact, if properly performed and if the patient is healthy. The whole matter is like this: When a patient's throat becomes so choked up that he cannot breathe, a small in cision is made in the win i pipe a little way below the Adam's apple. Into this opening a small silver tube is inserted. The tube is curved so as to reach down into the ait . passage in the throat Outside the throat it projects a little, and tapes are tied around the neck holding it in position. The tube is apt to become choked up with mucous, so the usual course is to have two tabes, one fitting closely within the other, so that it can be removed at will and cleansed and then slid back again. But as the patient breathes in and out of the tubes, and so no air passes the vocal chords, he cannot talk. In order to articulate he must hold his finger over the orifice in the tube and do all his talking with the tube closed. To breathe, he must remove his finger, take air into his lungs through the tube, ana then, reclosing the orifice he can go on with the conversation. One reason why tracneotomy is so generally believed to be exceedingly dangerous is because when performed on children the results are nearly always fatal. It is most frequently done in cases of diptheria as a last resort, and in spite of the relief thus obtained the child often dies of the disease. The relief obtained by the insertion of the tube is instantaneous, and a person who is black in the face and on the verge of choking to death in a few moments breathes naturally and seems almost well. The risk to life is hardly appreciable. In one London hospital the Central for diseases of the throat and ear, there were nine cases in three months, and in no instance did any injury arise from the operation. EMPEROR WILLIAM AT HOME. The New Dally Programme Which Has Been Prescribed'by Ills Physicians. Berlin Tageblatt. The Emperor is now able to devote fourteen hours out of every twenty-four to the various duties of his exalted position. During the whole of that time he wears his uniform and his military hoots. Quite recently his physicians prescribed for him a new programme for the employment of his waking hours, and it is said to have been adopted with great benefit At 7 o'clock in the morning a valet enters the Emperor's bedroom with a small cup of tea, which his Majesty drinks before he rises. In former years it was his custom to rise when he felt that he had slept long enough, and to go at once to his dresbing-room, but of late, upon the recommendation of his physicians, he has made it his habit to lie in bed for an hour and a half after waking. At 8:30 the Emperor quits his ted, and, with very little assistance, dresses himself. He has three personal attendants, who take turns in waiting upon, him for twenty-four hours at a time. These are his wardrobe-man, Engel, and his two valets, Ukermarker and Krause. At 9 o'clock the Kaiser goes to his library, where he breakfasts, usually on tea and toast. On Tuesdays and Fridays, however, breakfast is served about twenty minutes earlier than usual, and by 9 o'clock his Majesty is in his study, where he receives the report of the president of police. Ou other days the Emperor does not begin work until 9:20. His first business is to open letters and sign documents. Punctually at 10 o'clock Herr von Wilmowski. the chief of the Civil Cabinet, arrives for a brief interview, and from that hour audience succeeds audience until 12:30, when the Emperor takes his second breakfast. This invariably consists of a basin of plain soup and some meat of an easily digested kind. The menu for breakfast and for dinner is drawn r.p by a physician ia consultation with the cook and then submitted to the Emperor, who generally makes some slight alteration, but there is no foundation for the stories that have been told of his inordinate fondness for hot boiisd lobsters and crabs. The doctors have ordered the Kaiser to drink a glass of good old Bordeaux with his breakfast, as welt as with his dinner, but the Emperor cares little for wine and compromises the matter by deluging the Chateau-Margaux with natural Seltzer water. When the guard is changed the Emperor seldom fails to appear at the well-known window of his palace to return the salutations of the crowd which is always assembled without After the second breakfast there are more audiences and interviews, until it s time for the Emperor to take his daily drive. He usually returns at about 3 o'clock anl resumes work. Between 3 and 5 the higher officials of the Empire have audience, and at 5 dinner is announced. It lasts one hour and immediately afterwards the Emperor goes back to his study, where for an hour he reads the newspapers of the day or has pansages frocu libera read to him. At 7 he orders his carriage and, if he has nothing more important to do, goes either to the theater or to the opera. He has always been a great lover of the drama and he is very unwilling to allow anything to interfere with bis evening's enjoyment of it, yet be has for many years made it a role never to go to the theater while the body of one of the leaders of his armies or of any old political servant lies unburied. When the Emperor returns from ths theater tea is served and some time is spent in social conversation, but at about 10 o'clock his Majesty goes once more to his study to give attention to any pressing matters that may have come up duriug the day. When he has dealt with these h goes to his room, and at 11 o'clock the valet of the day leaves him, talking away the lamp and leaving a lighted nignt-lighton the table by the bedside. Tne Emperor sleeps' uncommonly well, and the tinkle of the electric bell which rings in tne neighboring room in which sits the valet on duty is very seldom heard during the night. The Kaieer likes to have a vase filled with corn-flowers on his study-table, and declares that if there be no corn-flowers there will be no work done. Flowers for this vase are therefore eptcially grown in a forcing-house at Potsdam

all the year round. For making marginal notes upon publie documents the Emperor uses along and very thick pencil. This also has to be specially prepared for him: out for vears he used an ordinary carpenter's pencil, and he only relinquished it ween it was represented to him that the softness of the lea 1 caused his writine to smear and become undecipherable His Majesty neither smokes nor takes snuff, and any spare moments that may be at his

disposal during the day are spent with the Empress, in whose presence be is always most punctilious and attentive. At the time of the attempted assassination of the Emperor by Nobiing, in 1878, the Empress was in very bad health, and she was onaMe to go to her busband's room until some days after the event. At last she dragged herself downstairs to his apart ments, ejaculating. "How happy 1 shall be to see thee again!" The Kaiser, whose room was full of officers, and whose door was open, heard her and laughingly shouted, "Weil, come along wife! come along!" and when the Empress ap peared, both burst into tears. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Gen. Donlanger Slakes Strenuous Efforts to Avoid an Office. Paris, March 8. General Boulanger has written a letter to the Minister of War, in which he says: "It is mr clear dutv. from the position which I occupy, and, particularly, owing to the period through which we are passing, to devote myself exclusively to my military duties. I have the honor to ask you, with the object of preventing the manifestations which have occurred from again being attempted, either to publish this or to authorize me to publish a letter in which 1 may beg my friends not to waste their votes in attempting to elect me to a position which I can not accept." One of De Leiseps's Lottery Rills Tabled. Paris, March 5. In the Chamber of Deputies, to-day, a bill was laid on the table which proposes to authorize the Panama Canal Company to issue a lottery lean of 24.000,000 francs. The biil is supported by a number of deputies of different politics. The preamble orges the necessity of furnishing M. De Leeseps with means to continue the construction of the canal and prove the, enterprise feasible, and states that tha time is ripe to fix public opinion upon the ultimate prospects of the canal and settle the question one way or the other. Punished by Their Officers. Rome, March 5. Prime Minister Crispi stated in the Chamber of Deputies, to-day, that the incident at Modane had beten found to be unimportant. He said that tne French soldiers who had ill-treated Italian railway officials at that rlace were duly punished bv their own officers. Susceptibility over of affairs of this kind, he said, was harmful rather than advantageous, as the government desired to maintain cordial friendship with France. Cable Notes. .

The coroner's inquest into the cause of the accident at the Midland Hotel, at Kansas City, a few days ago, has thus far gone to show, that several iron plates usd in the construction were smaller than required by the architect's drawings, and it is highly probable that as soon as the blam for this can be properly located the case will be presented to the grand jury. Z P. G. Campbell, sou of a minister at Sr. Cloud, Minn., was arrested at Milwaukee, Wis., last night, for burglary. He is twenty-two years old, but looks to be scarcely eighteen.

Action of Philadelphia Rrotherhood Firemen. Philadelphia, March 5. A union meeting of the seven lodges of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen of Philadelphia was held in Dover Hall, to-night, at which over two hundred members of the order were present The meeting was secret, and lasted until nearly midnight Addresses were made by John J. Delaney, of Chicago, and leading members of the local lodges, and the situation of the strike on the Burlington & Quincy road was inlly explained. It was stated at the close of the meeting that the approval and indorsement of the strikers in the West was enthusiastic and sincere, and confidence was expressed in the ultimate success of the action of Chiefs Sargent and Arthur. It is said by one of the more communicative members that the question of ordering'all members of the Firemen's Brotherhood now in the service of the Reading Railroad Company to go on strike in the interests of the strikers on that road was informally discussed, but that no official action on the subject was reached, nor was it in any way considered in an official or serious sense. Ths following resolutions were unanimous adopted: Whereas, The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen' are at present engaged in a life or death struggle for the main tat nance of right and justice with the Chicago, Burlington & "Quincy railway, and. " Whereas, All honorable means have been exhausted in an endeavor to secure from said railway company just compensation for labor performed, the rates asked for being those paid by competing lines for like service; therefore be it Resolved, That we fully recognize the importance of the issue that has been forced upon our brothers of the Chicasro, Burlington & Quincy railroad by an arbitrary and penurious management, end believe this to be the crucial test of organized labor. Resolved, That we, the representatives of the different lodges of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen of the city of Philadelphia and vieinity. in union meeting assembled, here pledge our nndivided assistance and support to ous brothers in this struggle; and be it further Resolved, That while we deeply deplore existing differences between labor organizations of this locality, we recognize the necessity of an earnest co-operation in this struggle, and we hereby extend the fraternal spirit of common interest to all toilers in lending assistance to our brothers on the Burlington. Resolved, That the Brotherhood of Locomotive . Firemen of Philadelphia and vioinity extend an invitation to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers to meet in joint session and hear the status of the Burlington troubles fully explained, and for the purpose of taking appropriate action and rendering assistance to the brothers now engaged in the strike. -Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to F. P. Sargent. G. W. M. Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen; P. M. Arthur, G. C. E. Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and the Associated Press. Items That Please the Strikers. Chicago, March 5. Authentic information was brought to Chief Arthur's heaequarters, this morning, that six engine-crews, composed of Reading Knights of Labor engaged by the Burlingtoo railroad, had deserted their engines at Galesburg. Four other crews left at Aurora. : A dispatah from Omaha, Neb., says twelve of the new Burlington engineers left yesterday for the East, saving they had been brought out by the Burlington under false representations.

The Detroit division of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has sent $1,500 to aid their striking brothers on the Burlington road. The members bave also subscribed $3,759 for the same purpose, and will raise the latter amount to $5,000. Davtok, O., March 5. The locomotive engineers of this city say that the Dayton division is ready to support the Brotherhood. A meeting held yesterday developed solid sentiment of this character, and the engineers present from Cincinnati and Kent divisions reported all eagmaers and firemen in full sympathy. A Question for Chief Arthur and Mis Men. to the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: If the executive hoards of the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen should order a general strike of engineers and firemen for no other purpose or cause than to aid the strikers in their strike on the C, B. & Q.. would not such action place the members of these boards individually liable to criminal prosecntion and conviction for interruption of the United States mail service? Are there not some provisions in the interstate-commerce bill which Mr. Arthur and bis hot-headed advisers would b wise to consider before proceeding to extremities destructive to the commerce, industries and general welfare of the country, and that would also jeopardize the liberty of himself and his prejudiced, blind followers? OTHER LABOR NEWS. A Number of Machinists and Section Men Strike for Back Pay. Special to tue Indiananolis Journal. Dayton, O., March 5. The machinists and section men of the Dayton & Ironton, and the Dayton and Chicago division of the Dayton, Fort Wayne & Chicago railroads went out on strike this morning, for back pay. The freight-handlers and trainmen, it is reported, stopped work to-night, and a tie-up will occur at midnight The cause of the trouble is that the appointment of a receiver has been delayed to allow the road to raise money to pay its debts. The Dayton & Ironton has been supplied with Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton rolling stock by the Ives faction, who are indirectly blamed for the crippled condition ot the road. Knights Convicted of Conspiracy. New York, March 5. Some months ago John E. Gill and several other officers of the shoemakers' assembly of the Knights of Labor were held in bail by Police Justice Smith on complaint of Ogden B. Hart, who was foreman in Hannon Bros. establishment The charge against them was conspiracy. It is alleged that they drove Hart out of New York and kept their promise to prevent him from gettine work anywhere. The prisoners obtained a writ of habeas corpus, and Judge Barrett, before whom the matter was argued, wrote a scathing opinion and submitted the papers in the case to the district attorney, suggesting that they oe given lo the grand jury. He dismissed the writ The Knights eppea'ed, and ihe general terra of tne Supreme Court has just affirmed Judge Barrett Judge Brady, who wrote the opinion, deprecates strikes, and says the evidence makes out a prim facie case of conspiracy. I. The Cincinnati Shoe Strike. S Cincinnati, March 5. The locked-out shoe makers held a mass-meeting to-day, and voted to send each shop crew hack to demand reinstatement in a body, and also a recognition of shop committee. Only one house acceded to both demands when the crews called upon their employers. Several were willing to take back the men. but not the girls, while a large number denied both demands. This leaves the lockout in a sort of hopeless condition. The 6hops evidently propose to work independently. Strike of Painters. Pittsburg, March 5. The painters of Pittsburg and Allegheny, who are members of Union No. 10 of the Painters' and Decorators' Brotherhood, inaugurated a strike this morning. demanding that nine hours constitute a day's work and that the wagf s be $3 per day. Seveeral firms have already granted the demand, and as others are in favor of acceding to the union scale, the strike will probably be of short duration. About 700 men are affected. Labor and Iudastrial NotesPhiladelphia Record. The two street railway companies of Wheeling, W. Va., have consolidated. The cars will be run by electricity. The electric light plant at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., is run by water power furnished by a canal dog for that purpose. Pittsburg's iron and steel output Is now greater by 1.1C4 too a day than it was before the introduction of natural gas.
