defeating Mr. Ingalls. The Alliance leaders profess to regard the rote this afternoon R4 indicativo of nothing more than an expression of the sympathies of the thirteen men who to ted with the Republicans, and not an expression of their senatorial preferences.

IN GALLS AND THE REPORTERS. A dispatch from Kansas City says: "Senator Ingalls arrived here at 6 o'clock this venin g. from Washington, en route to Kaneas. He would cot talk to the reporters, and hurried away to the Union Depot Hotel, where room No. 25 had been reserved lor hinu When he put his name on the register two man approached him from the lobby, shook hands with him and registered. They were W. J. Buchanan, chairman of the Kcpublican State central committee of Kansas, and G. W. Findlay, a prominent Jiepublican politician. The three were then ushered to room No. 25. The fact that a caller was a newspaper man was enough to exclude him from the room. They would see none such. The Kausans had not been long in their room before two men, whose dress and general bearing proclaimed them to be of the ftcrirnttnrftl class. tiD-toed down the

corridor; knocked three distinct times, and called three times in hoarse whispers Hilly!" "15illyw "lUlly!"

He declined positively to bo interviewed, and would not even say where he was going.

All questions were answered iu monosyllables. The train left at 9 o'clock and will arrive at Topeka at midnight. A prominent Kansas politician, who asked that his name should not be used, was on the same train with the Senator. He talked freely under the anonymous pledge. He said that up to the present time Mr. Ingalls' s campaign had been conduoted en the etill-hunt plan. From now on his managers, he said, would rush things until Tuesday next, when the legislature meets in joint session. "The first ballot," he continued, "will give Mr. Ingalls a majority."

In the Reichstag today a motion was made to repeal the prohibition of the importation of American pork. After some discussion tbe motion was put to a vote, and was defeated by 133 to 103. Dunuffthe debate to-day Dr. Windthorst said be regarded the prohibition as a sanitary measure, but otherwise he would uphold the motion for repeal in order to lower prices of meat, v Dr. Von lloetticher followed, referring to what he considered the evil results of the government opening the Russian frontier of Germany to pork imports. Not a single consignment, he said, hid yet proved free of disease. The Americans had a system of meat inspection in their towns only, although they themselves wero very strict in contmlling'cattle importations. II err Marqnardson. National Liberal, who also spoke on the repeal motion, announced that his partv farored the repeal. Hrrr fiehel. Socialist, said the discontent of the people at the high price of meat was viry gre;it. The pig breeding done by small I traders was no resson to refnse to repeal tb order, it was not the question of the profits of smull dealers which led the government to maintain the prohibition; it was the interest of the large owners which was served in resisting the repeal. Dr. Von LSoetticber again arose and declared that the government had not waited for the expression of discontent of the people, but bad been continually occupied with the particalar question at issue. A recent case of trichiniasis at Cologne, he said, wns attributed to the use of American Fork, which had been smuggled in from lolland. The vote on the pork , question wa then taken, with tbe result noted PABNtSIX MUST STEP ASIDE. There Can Be No Agreement While He In slsts on Leading the IrUh Party. London, Jan. 23.

During the course of an address Mr. Healy said that Mr. Justin McCarthy and Mr. Thorn a Sexton had gone to meet Mr. John Dillon and Mr. William O'Brian at Jloulogne-sur-Mer. Mr. Healy added that the object of the visit of Messrs. McCarthy and Sexton to Boulogne was to etiect a settlement of the trouble existing in the Irish parliamentary party on the basis of Mr. Para ell retiring from tbe leadership. Noothercondition. said Mr. Healy, would be agreed upon as a settlement. Iu conclusion Mr. Healy said that if Mr. Paraell retired peace would be restored and the reform of the league would follow the reform of the leadership. Instead of reorganizing a new government they should be contcutto purify the old government upon a democratic basis. The meeting tin ally agreed to postpone the formation of the new federation pending the result of the lioulogue conference. Wm. O'Brien telegraphs from Boulogne-stir-Mer to the publishers of the recentlyestablished InsuDpressible of Dublin as follows: "I have a letter pressing me to become responsible for the continued publication of the Insuppressible. My cablegram from America only authorized the continued publication of United Ireland on lines distinctly laid down in cabled, instructions. Since I have become acquainted with the tone and contents of the Insuppressible I am only restrained by motives of national policy from at once disassociating myself publicly from any responsibility for its writings. I regret that I am obliged to request that my name will not be further used in connection with tbe paper.'' FRANCE AND RUSSIA. One of the Czar's Confidential Servants Says the Two Countries Are Natural Allies. Paris, Jan. 23. The Xixma Siecle to-day publishes an interview with General Lansdorf, the Czar's confidential court chamberlain, in tbe course of which the chamberlain is quoted as saying that Russians and Frenchmen have so many affinities of character that the former sympathize with France and have a profound antipathy for the people of Kngland and Germany, whose characters are different. Russia, according to the chamberlain, can only reap advantage from contact with the French and hopes to develop her commercial and industrial relations with France. The latter country, said the chamberlain, had recently shown that her wealth was greater than ever, and it was gratifying to know that the two nations were most closely connected by force of circumstances and similarity of interests. France, he added, could bear her military burdens without fear of financial disaster, which was cot the case with several other powers. Kvery year armed pace sees the success of Russia and France assured, and their union renders war impossible and restrains Europe. Therefore a closer union is desirable. A feeling of great tension recently existed between Germany and Russia. Emperor William wished to hold tbe German winter .maneuvers on the Russian froutier, and preparations to that end were being tirade. The Czar, however, notified the Emperor that shonld he hold the winter maneuvers as proposed he tbe Czar would, in such an event, mobilize the Russian First Army Corps and order important movements of troops to be made. Upon this representation being made to the Emperor the latter abandoned his intention of holding the winter maneuvers on the Russian frontier. The Emperor is making a thousand advances to England. but he would do well to remember that a British alliance is to be distrusted. , GENERAL FOREIGN NTW&.

STEADY INCREASE LN TI1ADE

Confidence an d Prosperity of the West Is Beginning to Be Felt in the East, Slight Advance in tho Trice of Breadstuff's Money More Plentiful at Lower Rates "Old Butch" Has Not Quit Business. New York, Jan. 23. R. G. Dun fc Co.'s weekly review of trade says: It has been noteworthy throughout recent financial tronbles that Western centers of trade have been comparatively free from disturbance or apprehension, and now tbe energy and growth of the West have their eiiect in larger trade and stronger confidence in Eastern commercial centers. In the reports of this -week a moderate bnt steady increase in the volume of business, compared with last year, is the most striking feature. At Chicago a heavy increase in all grain receipts and in cured meats and bides is noted, with some decrease in lard aud dressed beef, but in dry goods and clothing trade is much larger tLan a year ago, and somewhat larger in boots and shoes. Trade is healthy and no fears are observed. At Cincinnati the clothing and shoe trades are particularly active. At St. Louis trade is strong in nearly all lines. At Kansas City the failure of a bank has scarcely any erlect on business; receipts of cattle are 22.000 and of bogs 84,000, and banks are taking care of their customers. At Minneapolis the lumber demand is unusually good and the Hour output 120,000 barrels, and at St. Paul trade exceeds expectations. At Omaha trade is quiet, money close and collections backward, aud at Milwaukee unseasonable weather checks busines, though money is easy and collections very fair. Cleveland reports money a little closer and collections slow, but a fair trade and confident feeling, while at Detroit money is easier at 7 per cent, and business conservative in tone. Turning to the South, we find improving business at New Orleans, fair receipts of cotton and a strong market for sugar, with ample supplies of money. At Louisville trade opens well and the monetary situation improves. At Jacksonville good trade is noted, and at Baltimore manufacturers and jobbers are well ahead of last year, and there is a largo increase in the shoe, leather and hide business. In consequence. Eastern centers show more activity. At Pittsburg somewhat more activity is seen in iron, though glass is rather dull and some factories temporarily closed. The Iron trade is etiffrued by the large decrease in production. The demand for bar does not improve, however;' oilers for plates are somewhat scarce, and trade in structural iron is only about fair, but in pipes it is excellent. The coal trade is comparatively quiet. Copper and tin are steady and lead a little weaker. The market for breadstuff's has been stronger, and wheat has advanced ic, corn lc aud oats 3c, while pork aud lard are a shade lower. Cotlee is 15o per 100 pounds lower than a week ago, on. small dealings, and oil 34C higher, but cotton is 1so lower. There is no material change in the volume of circulation, though the treasury has put out $300,000 moro of old money than it hast tken in, and has issued in addition SOO,000 more silver notes. The return of money from the interior pushes tho rate downward here, and greater ease is noted at most Eastern point, with a better demand for commercial paper. The exports of domestic; products continue larger than a year ago, and the excess of exports over imports is so heavy that sterling exchange does not advance, though sales of stock on foreign account occasionally appear. The business failures occurring throughout the country during the fast seven days number as compared with a total of 411 last week. For the corresponding week of last year the figures wore 226. ' C. B. Holmes Sued for 8350,000. Chicago, Jan. 23. The hints, at startling revelations in the disastrous investments by C. 13. Holmes in the Pacific Railway Company, of Los Angeles, Cal., merged into something tangible, tbis evening, when attorney, Levi Mave filed six suits in assumpsit, with Charles Whitacre and Robert Law as plaintiffs, against Mr. Holmes and tho Pacific' company, for damages aggregating $350,000. "And these are only the beginning." said Mr. Mayer, who added: "After various conferences by tbe parties who invested their money in the Pacific Railway Company, it was decided, at a meeting this evening, to bring suits to recover. ' Mr. Whitaere represents a number of banks in Chicago who loaned money to Holmes and the Pacifio company, from August to October of last year, to carry on the Los Angeles enterprise. For these loans the company and Mr. Holmes gave their notes, secured by what purported to be first-mortgage bonds of the Pacifio Railway Company, but which, we claim, have proven almost valueless, as the Los Anf:eles Railway Company, which the Pacifio ail way Company succeeded, had already 7 issued first-mortgage bonds to the amount of 21.500,000. Robert Law's connection with the deal is the same as that of tbe banks. He took these bonds as security for loans to Holmes and the company aggregating $150,000." A few days ago George M. hogue was appointed receiver of the Pacific company on a small judgment against Holmes. Attorney Mayer asserts that the receivership was simply a ruse to enable Mr. Holmes and his friends to get possession. How Kean Robbft the Heathens. CniCAGo, Jan. 23. A pitiful phase of the story of how S. A. Kean's bank interfered with the spiritual welfare of tbe African heathen was brought out in Judge Scale's court to-day. Mr. Kean was present, and the witness was Ross Tavlor, a eon of the Bishop, now in the dark continent. Witness testified that Mr. Kean. as treasurer of the foreign mission fund, was supposed to be doing the work of treasurer without any compensation. No authority has ever been given him to mix the funds of the mission with other fuuds. Witness's father, the Uishop. was to buy children from their heathen parents and transfer them to Christian surroundings.' Tbe price of a little heathen girl is about $30. and many donors contributed this amount, at the Same time specifying the name which was to bo niven to the child secured with the sum. The money, or at least a large ?art, got tangled in the financial mazes of lr. Kean's insolvent back. One result is that many children who were fondly supposed to have another destiny are still known by their original African names. Ilutchinfton I Simply Growlcf- Old. Chicago, Jan. 23. The veteran Board of Trade operator, B. P. Hutchinson, has made tbe following statement in reply to published reports to the effect that he had ceased to operate on tne board: "I have not retired from business. I did, two or three months ago, decide that 1 would give up traaing on my own account, and that I would wiud up that part of my business with the end of the 3-ear. I bad "nearly all of it closed up by Jan. 1. There is only a little outstanding and that simply because it was not convenient to settle it right away. When that is cleared off I don't intend to do any more trading ou my own account, bnt 1 am still in the commission business and I have done a good deal of it this month. 1 don't see why 1 should not keep on doing it, 1 am just as well able to do it now as I ever was. 1 don't know that there is anything the matter with me. I am not feeling quite so well as I have felt, but I suppose that is the result of growing old. It won't interfere with my business.'' The Cae Again Walter Potter. Boston, Jan. 23. Tho criminal proceedings against Walter Potter, of the PotterLovell Company, brought at the instance of Slingtuff, Disney & Co., of Baltimore, on a charge of embezzling notes of that firm, were begun in the municipal conrt, thin morning, before Judge Hnidy.

It was divided into four stories, occupied by Warner Brothers, Darling & Scbolcs, Zingsheim & Harris, and L. Marcus & Son. The building is said to have cost $S0,000. The fire was discovered about 8:50 o'clock, bursting simultaneously from the three stories of the section occupied by L. Marcus & Son. The condagration spread to Zingsheim & Harris and Darling & Scholes through a court in the rear of the store of Zingsheim & Harris. At 9:15 .a portion of the three top stories of Zingsheim & Harris fell in. and bricks clattered into the street, falling all around the firemen. At 9:10 o'clock Warner Bros.' store, which throughout had remained dark, showed signs of the effect of the great heat at its side. The windows in the two upper stories were blown into the street and great clouds of smoke emerged. Twenty minutes after the discovery the roof and floors of the three stores had fallen, the windows were completely gone, and the llames lacked fuel. Still they soared high and vaiuly licked the wall which protected Warner's store. Gradually the great blaze - subsided, and the embers became black under tbe flood which the firemen poured on the ruins. Mr. Warner did notknow what his insurance was. He could say, however, that both the atoc and building were insured The total loss is estimated at $300,000. Later Two firemen have just been taken f rpm tbe ruins dead. Tbey are Adam Fisher, chief of engine No. 4, and Kobt. Snyder. Shortly after 11 o'clock, when all thought of further danger by tire or falling walls had apparently passed and -the chief was dispersing what men were not needed, the firemen from engine No. 4 were stationed in front of the Marcus Building and several streams were playing npon the ruins. Chief Hornung and Assistant Chief Murphy were standing just behind the pipemen, directing the work. Suddenly the wall was seen to totter, and before the men could move to escape the danger it was ' upon them. Adam Fisher, fireman of Engine 4 and a member of of the Buffalo fire department since its organization, was taken out of the ruins dead, and Kobert' Snyder, also of Engine 4, was taken out fatally injured. Theodore M. Keuss, George hitnec and Anthony Keller dragged themselves out. They were hurried to the hospital. Dr. Corlett hastily dressed the wounds of Snyder, but although everything was done for him he died. m Tannery Burned. Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 23. The tannery of Albert Trostel & Sons was burned tonight. Loss, $50,000; insured for the full amount. Reception at the White Ilonse.

If the Democrats keep on in this business of filibustering over the approval of the journal it will be the duty of the Vicepresident to pay no attention t- their clamors, their rebel yells, bnt order the Secretary to call theroU. There is nothing else for him to do. He'knows they are talking against time. They know he knows it. The people know tliat tbey are keeping up an unending gabble, merely to kill time. Therefore the sndden choking off of these verbose ones will be followed by a sigh of relief and cry of applause on tbe part of the people, who will see that at last there in a chance something will be done before the 4th of March. Cleveland's rosltion, Detroit Tribune. ' So far as Mr. Cleveland is concerned the situation is about like this: If he stands by his past record on the silver qnestion he can't be nominated for the presidency; if he flops over to free-silver coinatre to secure the nomination he can't carry his own State. If de can't carry bis own State he cau't be elected. The Stuffed Prophet is in a hole and it is a snug fit.

ntESIDlIM AI SENATE. Disadvantages Under Which the Former Labors in the Matter of Appointments. T. O. Crawford, in New York Tribune. It is an apparent rule of politics at Washington that any President shall be praised by his party associates only so far as he gives without hesitation everything that is asked of him. Let him give ninety-nine appointments and refuse the cue hundredth and he will encounter as vigorous an enmity as if he had refused tht-ui alL There does not appear to be any give and take be tween the politicians and the President. I know of one particular instance where the President had found in a certain Western State an old army friend, a man of high character, whom he wished to appoint to a local office in that State. Through a desire to be courteous he sent word to the Senator of the State that he hoped that such an appointment would be agreeable to him. The response was the rude and brusque one that if the President knew more about who should be appointed in his State to go ahead, but that he the Senator! washed his hands of the whole matter. Underneath this was the defiant note or threat that if Buch a name should come to the Senate it would be objected to and rejected through senatorial courtesy. But what becomes of tbe real courtesy of ordinary life, when men who are continually grasping for favors take them as their native right without a thought of thanks, and have no courtesy toward the one who has given them what they require? To-day there is a cuutest between two Senators and tbe President over a certain office. The two Senators are pressing a man, for that office who has au objectionable record. In 'other words, it has been shown that he would be a most objectionable appointment. The President's position in the matter is a very simple one. lie has said: T will not appoint this man. In my judgment, he is not a suitable person for such an appointment' He is perfectly willing that tbe two Senators should make another selection. This they have refused to do: they will have their man or no one. If . any one outside of their recommendation be appointed he may be defeated through the rule of senatorial courtesy. The Senators of tbe United States are as haughty in their sense of power, in pride of position, as the nobility under Louis XVI. Tbey have the same disregard for public opinion, and the samedssire to seek merely their own personal ends in the world of politics. If the secrecy of the executive session could be abolished and all applications for office, with thoir indorsements made public, some of the intrigues and deceptions now practiced would be abolished. What is done now almost without criticism would then be subjected to the light of public attention and would be made impossible. n SITTING BULL IN A THEATER. How Roland Reed, the Comedian, Entertained the Noted Sioux Chieftain. Kansas City Star. Roland Reed tells many amusing stories of bis experience with tbe Indians, and among them is this oue: "In 1831, while I was playing at the old Davidson Operahouse, St. Paul. Major John McLaugUlin, the Indian agent at the Standing Kock agencv, was there with Sitting Bull and One Bull, the old chiefs nepUew. Tbev were on their way to Washington to consult with the President in regard to some matter. Theur presence in St. Paul was, of course, a cause of much excitement, and the Ryan Hotel was filled with curious peofle to see them. I thought, as a great joke, would invite the Major and his wards to my performance, and, as an especial inducement, 1 oft e red them a proscenium box, where they could see and not be seen. 'Well, they came. The Major in his dressparade uniform, and Sitting Bull and One Bull in their blankets, war paint and full Sioux regalia. At that time I was playing 'Cheek," a musical comedy, in which there was much singing and dancing. Ths Indians seemed much pleased with tbe music, and several times during the borne play of the performance I gave a piercing Indian war whoop and said Indian words of greeting. This tickled the two bulls immensely, and they expressed their delight by quietly, grinning. "At the conclusion of tbe performance I invited them on the stage, as the company was anxious to sea them. Old Bull didn't want to come very much, but Major McLaughlin assured him it was all right, so he consented. Well, we had a great time, I assure you. We sang, and danced, and played the piano for them till we were exhausted, but old Bull would grunt out, 'More, more.' as soon as we had concluded one piece. He was the most appreciative audience I ever had. But tbe hit of the performance was yet to come. I borrowed Bull's tomahawk, and with a piercing shriek I passed it around my head and deftly lifted of? my wig. The old chief thought 1 had scalped myself, and be began to laugh aud dance a ki-yi-yi around tbe stage there till the women of the company thought he was going to take a hand in the hair-raising himself. Then I went up to Alice Hastings, at that time a nit-m ber of my company, but now dead, nud, with a whoop brandished the tomahawk at her and lifted her long beautiful llaxen wig hig in the air. "That was too mnch. Old Bull's face assumed a grim, serious expression' which boded very much danirer. tor it was difficult for him to understand bow ode could scalp himself or auy other person and find so much pleasure and fun in it. In each case the persons scalped . had lirst put a 'bald' wig over their own hair and over the 'bald' wig a hair wig, so that when the latter was raised it left a sleek, shining pate. The deception was a olever one and completely befuddled the warriors." PRESENCE OP MIND. How Eugene Field Surprised a Kansas City Publican. Cnlcsgo M1L Back in the dark ages, when Chicago's one professional humorist was nothing bnt an every-day "funuy man," when bis flights of wit were knocked out by the cold and unappreciative night editor of the Kansas City Times, there happened a little incident which showed that the wit itself was more sharp than Hat. In those days he wasn't writing agate humor and 'drawing bourgeois pay. The necessitiesof life, including a fair allowance of cups vbi-h both cheer and inebriate, consumed rather more than his weekly stipend. And thus it happened that there came a time wheu the scrightly journalist always turned to tbe right on leuvinj the Times office, because on the left was a saloon, behind the bar of which hung a slate covered with terrifying figured. At last, however, coaxed by bis comrades, the "funny man7 re-entered his former haunt. No sooner was be within the door than mine host made fur him. The horrid slate was produced. The pallid humorist tried to ward off impending doom with a joke, but CJambrinus was firm. "My poy," said be, "you vos a funny fellow. When you come to my place der poyscome mit you I likes to nave you here. You can't pay this? Veil " and with a magnificent gesture he swept the slate, clean. "Now we vas square. You come etlery night now." It was then that the true greatness of the humorist's mind asserted itself. Not at all dazed by his good lortuue he strode proudly to tbe bar, waving his followers to follow him. "Well, Dutchy," said he imperiously. 'VellT" responded the wondering host. "When a gentlemau pays his bill in this Elace." inquired tbe journalist, with high auteur, "isn't it customary for the house to 'set 'em upf " 6.
