the Senator -will have a majority of not less than ten. and possibly lourteen, in the joint caucus. "I can only bav.w said Senator Sherman to-night, "that 1 still regard the situation as exceedingly favorable. The events of the day have only tended to strengthen my belief in my nomination." Voa regard the situation, then. a3 practically conclusive in its evidence of yonr BoereM?1' Oh. I would hardly like to nee the word 'conclusive.' That might indicate a docree of exultation, and wo must remember the contest is not over yet. and will not be nntil Wednesday nignt. 1 am very hopeful and confident, as indeed I think are also all my friend. Wo hare yet to discover an unfavorable Indication." Kx-(iovernor Foraker, who has maintained a degree of reticence throughout the ricbt. except in his speeches, certainly displays n appearance of despondency to-night. "I Btill expect to win." fcaid he. "Of course, at this stage it would be very unwise to give out names and details, but I have not chansed my conviction on ultimate success. The conteat from now to trie close will naturally be characterized by all kinds of reports quietly succeeding each other, and many of these will be unfounded, while others will be correct. The situation is constantly shif tmar. and will continue to present many changes until the end. so that the situation now may not be the sitnation of an hour hence. I can only say that 1 am still as hopeful as ever, and expect to win." MEETING OF T1IC ABSE11P.LY. The two houses of the General Assembly met at 10 o'clock this morning, and organized by electing Senator E. L. Lampson of Ashtabula. President pro tern, of the Senate, and Representative Lewis C. Laylin of Huron, Speaker of the House. The regular caucus nominees for minor positions were also elected. Uovernor Campbell's message to the General Assembly was very brief, and is as follows: To the Feventitth General Assembl ji The Constitution makes it incumbent upon the Governor to communicate his views annually to the. General Assembly. As this function trill doubtless be well and fully discharged one week from to-day by tlie li.comlng Governor, tbe present incumlect confines himaelf to a renewal of such nutTirestioun and recommendations as were re ado by him to the Mxty-nmtu General Asf-cm-My and acted upon by that body. Occasion is taken to congratulate the General Assembly and the icop!e ot Ohio upon tbe excellent condition of the benevolent, penal, reformatory and educational institutions ot tbe Kate, and to the satisfactory exblblt made by the various publio oillcera in their recent anneal reports. Jamls E. Camihrli, Governor. The Sherman IJepablicans made no attempt to seat George Iden in the IdenGanroer contest, this morning, so that tbo anticipated conflict between the Foraker and bherman forces in the Senato did not take place. The only dispute over the question was whether the case should be referred to the regular committee on privileges and elections when appointed or to a special committee consisting of Nichols and Carpenter, Republicans, and Forbes, Democrat. The latter was the proposition of the Kepnbiicans, and it prevailed by a strict party vote. The case was brought to a hasty conclusion this afternoon without any protest from the Foraker Senators against tho seating of Mr. Iden in advance of tho caucus. The special committee, after an hour's session, presented a report jest before the adjournment of the Senate, finding that George Iden was entitled to the contested scat. By a strict party vote tbe report was adopted, every Republican voting in the affirmative and every Democrat in the negative. This assures Mr. Sherman one more vote in Wednesday's caucus. Five minutes after tbe oath of office had been administered to Senator Iden that gentleman announced to a reporter: "I am or Sherman for Senator, and I want it distinctly so announced. Up to this time 1 have refrained from publio declaration because my seat was still in jeopardy, but now that tbe matter is settled, 1 want my position to bo known beyond question." Senator Carpenter introduced a bill in the Senato to redistrict the State and wipe out the Democratic gerrymander. The bill caused considerable comment among the politicians, and, as it was the latest thing out. was discussed in many quarters more generally than tbe senatorial question. The bill jast suits a great many, while it don't suit others. However, it is rogarded as a fair measure, as all of tho nroposod districts are well balanced asto population. Incidentally thebill gives nix Democratic districts and fifteen Republican ones. There are several close districts, and some claim that with a Republican turnout like last fall it would hustle the Democrats to get over fonr districts. Judge Thompson's county (Scioto) is put in the Eleventh, and General Grosvenor's county (Athens) in the Thirteenth. Both are strongly Republican. SITUATION IN NEW YORK.

Fat of Republicans In the Senate Rests with Kev. Kdwards, an Independent. New York, Jan 4. Senator James T. Edwards, the clergyman-professor, who defeated Commodore Perry Vedder in the Cbnotauqua District, is to-day tho biggest link in tho political concatenation which engages the attention of the political leaders of this Slate, of both parties. His power is larger than that of Senator Hill, for he is aneltcted elementin the situation. He is more powerful than Governor Flower, for he is able to rooder helpless and inactivo the otherwise Democratic Legislature n which Governor Flower relies. He is bigger than tho Legislature itself, for without him tho Senate cannot organize with a It? gal quorum to give itself positive force. Here is the carious situation of tbe State govermental machinery ready to operate, bnt lacking the wedge-piu to fasten its gearing and make all parts move eiiectively. Ti e Democrats have sixteen Senators ready to sit in tho leather chairs iu.the onyx chamber to-morrow, but tnere must bo present tbe body of one more elected Senator to constitute tho quorum number of seventeen, or one more than half the elected members. That one other .Senator may remain silent; he may read "Mother Goose" or the Bible; he may engage himself with peanuts and conversation with the Senato orderlies; he may even slumber ntid snoro all these inattentions would be pardoned by tho other sixteen in the personality of any seventeenth elected Senator. They would even te welcomed as a condition of h:s presence, for they i:eed him, and need him much. With the seventeenth Senator present, only, the law of ?uorum would be fill til led. and the sixteen )emocratic Senators might go forward with their purposes. Mr. Edwards, by reason of tbe independent character of his election and his devotion to his personal conscience as a political guide, it the only available wedge to hold the legislative gearing from slipping when the power shall be turned on to-moirow. Senator Kdwards designates himself an iudepondaut Republican. He has been quoted as saying that ho would it with the sixteen Democrats to organize the Senato to-morrow. The tif teen out-and-out Republican Senators are said to favor a plan of absenting themselves to-morrow from the Senato chamber, to prevent a quorum, and when the morning dawned to-day the Republican leaders were doubtful as to Mr. Ldwards's alleged purpose not to act with them. The ont-and-outs came down to thii city to confer with Mr. Piatt and other leaders as to what should bo done. They conferred last night, and havo conferred more to-day. as to how best to act to deprive the Democrats of a Senate quorum to-morrow. The meeting place of the chieftains was the Fifth-avenue HoteL Senators O'Conneli. Mullin and Derby were seated on one of the richly-upholstered benches which lino the hotel corridor. They were speaking in undertones, and presently United States Senator Hiscock approached tho group. After a minute or two Senator Derby left to consult with Senators Donaldson nnd Parsons, who were seated on tl:o opposite side of the hall. This group was reinforced by Senator Gecrge Lrwin, and later joined by Senator Hisoock. Senator Krwin exchanged views with all, and then held a consultation with Senators fcini.!, Vangorder and Saxtou. EDWARDS CAME NOT. The groups were continually changing, and in this manner there was obtained a genersl interchange of views. The Senators conducted their little talks so quietly that a stranger could not notice anything unusual happening. Tbe conference, for such it was, had all the appearance of the usual interchange of courtesies between acquaintances who meet in a hotel. All tho Senators seemed at the outset agreed on ae point, and that was that unless tho

Rer. Mr. Edwards refused to aid the Democrats in organizing the Senate it would bo useless for tho other Republican Senators to remain away from Albany. Senator Edwards had been invited to meet his fellowRepublican Senators in New York this morning, and hia failure to respond to the invitation is regarded as ominous. The Republican Senators, however, were loath to think that Edwards .wonld help the Democrats, and up to noon had hopes of hearing from him. This hope failed, however, for Edwards camo not. There was only one sentiment to be gathered from the groups of twos and threes about the corridor. It was that anything was justifiable to prevent the Democracy in its etlort to seat enough Democrats to control the Senate. Collector Henricks said: "Tho Republican Senators, in my opinion, are justified in anything they see lit to do. They are especially justified and to bo commended if they decline to sit with tbe men whom Hill has seated as Senators. I am for anything that will show Hill that ho cannot make Senators at will and in defiance of the people." United States Senator Hiscock said everything depended upon the course Senator Kdwards would adopt. Until he was heard from the other Senators could decido upon nothing. Ex-United States Senator Warner Miller passed along tho hotel corridor without speiking to, or in any way noticing, the assembled Senators. A reporter asked him if be thought Senator Edwards would act

with the Democrats. "I do not desire to bo interviewed,' said Mr. Miller, "and must decline to answer any questions."' A few philosophical Republicans who are here profess to be Indifferent to the atti-. tnde of the independent Senator. His vote with the Republicans cannot, they observe, control the organization of the Senate or prevent the seating of Walker at the opening session, if they sco tit to act on that matter -then. Tho Democrats have sixteen votes to fifteen Republicans, even counting Edwards among the latter. A majority of those voting is sufficient to carry all questions except tho passage of a bill. At the opening session to-morrow if the sixteen Democrats vote to seat Walker and the fifteen Republicans, including Edwards, vote against seating him he will be seated. On this point, however. Senator Edwards is said to have declared that he would not vote to seat Walker over Sherwood in the Twenty-seventh district. He said that no man should be admitted to the Senate" who had 1.&10 votes less than his opponent, and that tho elsctors of the district should have another election. Sherwood is the Republican ineligible who was elected by the above majority. Most of the Senators left this city to-night for Albany so as to watch developments at closo range. Caucus Nominations. Albany, X. Y., Jan. 4. The DemocraticAssemblymen to-night held their caucus, naming Robert P. Rush, of Chemung (Governor Hill's county), for Speaker and Charles De Freest, clerk of tho Democratic State committee, for Assembly clerk. The Republican caucus named Gen. James W. Hinted for Speaker, which constitntes him loader of tho Republican minority in the House. The Democratic Senators went into secret caucus at 9 1. M. None of tho Republican Senators came to the Capitol building np to 9 o'clock. It was expected they would hold their caucus as usual in the Capitol at a . m. The Democratio Senate caucus was in session less than an hour behind locked doors. Senator Cantor was named for President pro tern, and leader of the ma jority. The Lieutenant-governor was au thorized to appoint the Senate committee on elections to-morrow, so that tbe contested cases may bo cousidered during the recess for constructing committees. An Associated Press reporter, late tonight asked Senator Edwards if he would attend the opening session of the Senate to-morrow. He replied: "I consider it the highest conception of duty to attend the session of the Senate to-morrow, and shall bo present." OVER $25,000,000 TOT IX TYPE. All tho Foundries in the United States Purchased by an English Syndicate. Buffalo, N. Y.,.Jan. 4. Charlton M. Lyman, of the firm of W. E. Lyman & Sons, type and electrotype founders, tonight related the story of a big deal in which an English syndicate has invested $25,000,000 to 20,000.000. "This syndicate," he says, "has bought all tho type foundries in the United States. There are four in New York, four in Chicago, one in Buffalo, one in Cleveland, two each in St. Lonis, Cincinnati, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Boston, and one in Baltimore. A few of the smaller foundries may bo moved to the South or West, and some of them may be closed. Tho syndicate made a proposition to tho founders about three mouths ago, who, after considering the matter, gave an option. Eight experts, representing the syndicate, have since visited all the foundries in the country, where they have examined tbe machinery and eqnioments. and the books and accounts. One of the experts was here four days. He camo here from -Boston, and took us quite by surprise.. Ho went away Sunday night. Another lias just finished an inspection of the Cleveland plant. Ho went there from San Francisco. They have huished their part of the work, and were to meet in New York to-day. They found everything in good condition." "When will the syndicate take possession P Mr. Lyman was asked. "The thing must be wound npbyjan. SI. The option expires then. Each foundry has furnished a complete inventory of machinery and stock to the syndicate, as one of the requirements. The books are examined, and the percentage of profits for the last three years is taken as a basis for fixing tbe anion nt that each firm is to receive for its plant and good will. The foundries are to sell out absolnteiy to the syndicate, but probably n member of each firm will be retained in the employ of the company as manager. In addition, there will be an Eastern manager and a Western manager." 'What will be the nameof thecompanyt" "It will be called the American Typefoundry Company, and it will be organized in due form after Jau. 31, when the option expires, it Embezzler Hohe Liberated. Hrec'.al to tie Indianapolis Journa'. Pr.oniA, Jan. 4. J. Fiuloy Hoke waseet at liberty by an order from Jndge Thaw, of the Circuit Court. Hoke, while cashier of tho Merchants' National Bank, of this city, mx yeais ago, embezzled f25.000 of the bank'a funds. He fled to Canada, but was brought back, and the grand jury found nineteen indictments against him. lie was tried on one, found guilty, and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary On the expiration of his sentence, a few months ago. he was rearrested and brotiffht to this city to stand trial on the other charges. The case came np to-day on a motion to quash tbe remaining indictments made by the attorneys for Hoke, and Judge Thaw held that as the prisoner had been nxtraditedon one indictment the others would not hold. The State has let three terms of court pass without pushing the .prosecution. Liability of Saloon-Keepers. j Philadelphia, Jan. 4. The Supreme Court to-day decided that a saloon-keeper is liable for damages in the case of injuries received resulting from tho salo of liquor to intoxicated persons. The allegation of the plaintiff was that the defendant sold her husband liquor until he became intoxicated, and that in ccr.sequence he fell into a gutter full of water and lay there, thereby contracting pneumonia, from which he died. m o Jack Glasscock 317 " to Chicago. Chicago. Jan. 4. The Chicago club today signed Meekin, who last year pitched for Sioux City and was previously with tho Louisvilles. The Chicago management is negotiating with still another pitcher, a National League man. nnd if successful will havo six to 6elect from. There is said to be a strong probability that Pfetler of Chicago and Glasscock of St. Louis will change places. Double Crime of n Jealous Hatband. Philadelphia. Jan. 4. While crazed by jealousy Joseph Garrison, aged thirty-six years, this evening shot his wife Cecelia, about the same age. throngh the face, and then niacin the weapon to his temple sent a bullet throngh his own brain. Both are in tbe hospital, where the physicians late to-night pronounced their condition very serious.

SUNK BY THE NOORDLAND

The Bis Atlantic Liner Collides with a British Bark in the North Sea. Fifteen of the Latter's Crew Drowned Six Feet of Water In the Hold of the Steamer Guy De Maupassant Attempts Suicide, SUNK IN TUB NORTH. SEA. Steamer Noordland Collides with a Bark Fifteen Sailors Drowned. London, Jan. 4. The steamer Noordland, from Antwerp, for New York, which was in collision in the North sea with the British bark Childwell, from Iquique, the latter vessel going down with tif teen of her crew, has returned to Antwerp. Her bows were stove in by the collision. Pilot Laming, of tbe Childwell, says: "The night was clear and a strong wind was blowing. I saw the steamer's lights fifteen minutes before the collision. Suddenly the steamer starboarded her helm, apparently intending to cross our bows. I saw that a collision was inovitablo and, with the captain, shouted a warning to the crew. Beforo they got np the steamer struck ns between tbe mainmast and the foremast on the port side nnd cut through to within six feet of the starboard side. She struck with such force that the Childwell was heeled completely over. It was an awful crash and the sight was a fearful one. The masts and rigging fell on the steamer's deck, and she backed astern, carrying tho mast with her. The Childwell quickly tilled and sank within two minutes after the collision. The sea was high at the time, and there was no chance to lower tbe boats. It was low title, bnt only part of the mizzenmast and the end of tho bowsprit wero above water. Nine of us climbed to the mizzeu rigging. Of the fifteen drowned, twelve perished on the ship, as they could hardly have bnd time to come to the deck. The other three clung to tho end of tbe bowsprit for two hours, until the rising water washed them oil. It was dreadful to hear their cries for assistance, knowing that we were unable to help them. It is not true that tbe steamer departed immediately. She stood by for an hour nnd lowered two boats, which, however, failed to reach ns. owing to the rough sea. It must have beon heartronding to the men on the bowsprit to seo the boats return nnd tbe steamer depart. After being four hours lashed to the mizzenmast in the bittr cold, we were overjoyed to see tho lights of the steamer Ipswich. Wo shouted our hardest and snc ceeded in attracting attention. We Buffered mnch from our exposure. Wo wwre treated in the kindliest manner by the crow of the Ipswich." The Noordland has six feet of water in her hold. Movements of Steamers. Copenhagen. Jan. 4.

Henri Rene Albert Gay De Maupassant, French Story-Writer. Paris, Jan. 4. M. Henri Kene Albert Guy De Maupassant, the well-known French author, who is seeking at Cannes to recover from the nervous disorders from which he is suffering, and which are due to overwork, attempted to commit suicide last Friday night, lie got possession of a revolver, and fired six shots at his head. Fortunately, the members of his family had a suspicion that he intended to kill himself, and. in order to frustrate his design, they had removed tbo bullets from the cartridges with which the revolver was loaded. After M. De Maupassant found that be could not destroy himself with the revolver, he took a razor and cnt a gash in his throat, but this attempt, too, failed, and tbe injury he inflicted upon himself was not serious. It was announced at the beginning of December last that M. De Maupassant was sull'ering from a disease of the nervous system, and that he had been ordered by his physicians to tako r complete rest. Humors wero circulated that he had become insane, hut these reports were strenuously denied, it being added that they were due to tho jealousy of unsuccessful rivals in the field of literature. M. De Maupassant, it was admitted, was somewhat broken down ' and was suffering from nervous exhaustion, bnt his friends claimed that there was no reason to believe that his brain fowcr was impaired. Ho was born in 1850. 'or seven years he studied the art of literature like an apprentice at an ordinary trade, and then, in 1880, his roaster. Flaubert, allowed him to make his literary debut. Some of his best-known works aro La Maison Tellier." "Une Vie," "Lea Contea De la l)ecasse.",Mlle. Fill," "Miss Ilarriet.'V'Del Ami" and "Pierre and Jean." It was announced to-night that M. De Maupassant will bo put in an asylum. TIRED OP THE FOREIGNERS. King Malietoa About to Take Violent Control of the Samoan Cloverntnent. New York, Jan. 4. The following important and interesting letter concerning nil airs in Samoa has been received by a man iu this city, from a friend in Apia. It is dated Dec Sr " "The sitnation here is beginning to assume a decidedly reddish hue, for blood will soon How as a result of lighting be tween the natives, which is almost on point of breaking out. King Malietoa the has been very patient with the rebels, but patience is almost exhausted. He his has promised to wait nntil tho next mail from San Francisco arrives beforo beginning active hostilities against .Mataafa forces, in tho hopo of hearing tbat a new president of the Council, American or English, has been appointed to succeed tho German, Baron Yon Pilsach, who has resigned as a result of tbe hatred and dislike which he created among Europeans and natives by reason of his arrogant and overbearing manners and his violent German partisanship. If news comes to the King that You Pilsach's acts are approved by the three powers and that he is to resume his official duties, then war will begin at once, for the natives aro determined to submit to his outrageous conduct no longer. King Malietoa's party say that it is useless to wait any longer for either Chief-justice Cederkrantz or Von Pilsach to govern the country in a just and proper manner. Mataafa's causa in the meantime is constantly gaining strength through tbe unpopularity of tun foreign otlicials. King Malietoa's party has, therefore, decided to take matters in its own hands, crush out the rebellion, conduct the government in its own way and ignore the foreign leeches. Von Pilsach has built u house lor himself at Mulinun Point, the scat of government near Apia, at a cost of f-I.COO, tbe money having been taken from the government treasury. King Malietoa will probably take possesion of the house as his ofikial residence in a few days." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. An Englishman Fills Ills Nose and Mouth rrlth Powdr and Illowe OCT Ills Head. London, Jan. 4. When Louis Linng, the Chicago Anarchist, put an end to his life, when within the shadow of the scaffold, by exploding a dynsroito bomb in his moutlj, his method of committing suicide was chronicled as the lirst of thekiud onrecord. A similar case is now reported from Dewsburg, in Yorkshire. Harry Saxton, a once wealthy blanket manufacturer, but who had become impoverished by business reverses, purchased fonr pennies' worth of gunpowder, walked a distance of nine miles from his home to an onthonse on a vacant farm: wrote a note telling what be was coing to do, and how he was going to do it; tilled his mouth and nostrils with tho powder, and then lit and applied a in j tin. When found a few hours later by some tramps, who happened to stumble on the place for a night's lodging, he was found cold and dead. All his upper and lower teeth, the right jaw, his noso and a

portion of the top of his head had been blown away, and the walls and roof of the place were covered with blood and fragments of flesh. The Vatican and France at Feace Again. Rome. Jan. 4. Count Lefevre de Bebaine, the French embassador to the Vatican, had a long interview to-day with the Pope They came to a complete accord regarding a future mutual policy.

General Superior Andermatt, of the Order of Capuchins, has returned from hia visit to tho United States. He was to-day accorded a long aadience with the Pope. His Holiness inquired concerning tbe superior's views ou religions questions in the United States. ' Queer Statement of the Oar. London. Jan. 4. The Czar has given offense by declaring pnblicly tbat no famine exists in Russia, and that there only has been a failure of crops. This expression of opinion is very general in official circles. M. Kibot, the French Foreign Minister, has created a bad impression in Russia by instructing tbe French embassador at St. Petersburg to intervene in favor of a Paris Jewish tirm in danger of public prosecution for trying to sell large Quantities of adulterated dour in the famine-stricken provinces. Royalty Assaulted While In Disguise. London', Jan. 5. The Standard's St. Petersburg correspondent says: It is reported that Grand Duke Sergins. disguised as a peasant in order to discover the truth about alleged diilicnlties in the purchase ot bread, had a squabble with a baker and was thrown into the street by policemen, who severely hustled him and were about to arrest him when he revealed bis identity, whereupon three police ollicials committed suicide. m The Anti-Slavery Act Signed.

It was officially announced yesterday that his Majesty appeared in pnblio on Sunday, and that he has quite recovered from his recent attack of influenza. Advices from Pahang. capital of the state of that name on the Mnlay peninsula, show that tho rising among the natives which began in that state Dec. '24 last has become general. The British residents and tho Sultan, with a strong force of Malaya, have gone to suppress the revolt. FELL FK03I A TRESTLE. Kentucky and Indiana Bridge Train Wrecked nnd the Conductor Killed.

Pious Thoughts. Ram's Ilorn. A lie in the heart is black as It is in a horse trade. Long prayers in church generally make heaven seem a long way off. People have to be living very near tbe throne before they can enjoy having their own faults pointed out. It Is doubtf nl whether the Lord ever made a man who could be a church sexton and please the whole congregation. The congregation tbat will pay its pastor well for telling them the troth about themselves is ono that would be watched with a great deal of interest by the angels. The religion that proposes to sell oyster soup by the dish whenever the church wants money is not tbe kind tbat the devil is afraid of. There is no diflerence in the mind of God betweeu the man who breaks the Sabbath and the one who sells goods by a short yardstick. . There are still too many people who enjoy seeing a tin-pan tied to tbe tail of some other man's dog. 1,700,000 Pounds of Floor for Ruislans. Minneapolis, Minn.. Jan. 4. The flour men of Washington.

Inspired with the idea that his act would give him everlasting life, James Mullen, while demented, forced down hit throat tho rosary which he wore around his neck. To accomplish this he used a ten-inch long stick, which went down also. The brass cross on tbe rosnry caught 'in his throat, nnd this probably saved the man's life. When the police arrived Mullen was black in the face. .Vigorous thumping caused the ejectment of the rosary, which was two feet long and contained fifty beads.

0ANK0T FIND THE BANDITS

BothUnited States and Mexican Troops Search Fruitlessly for Garza's Men. Captain Bourke AeVs for Deputy Marshals to Assist in Identifying Kebel Sympathizers Mexico's Crusade Against Priests. Special to the InrtlacapolU JournaL San Axtonio, Tex., Jan. 4. The odcial reports received at military headquarters here to-day, concerning the movement of the United States troops in the border bection, where the Garza revolutionists have their stronghold and are committing depredations vrere very encouraging to General Stanley. The following dispatch was received here to-day by Col. J. P. Martin, assistant adjutant-general, from Cant. William B. Wheeler, of the Eighteenth Infantry, who is in command at Fort Ringgold: "A courier is just in from First Lieut. Wm. D. Ueach, of the Third Cavalry, who is at Pieneno ranch. He passed Captain x Francis T. Hardie at Salenno. All information from that direction and from scouting parties in the vicinity of the post indicates the breaking up and scattering of the bands of revolutionists that had bo gun to form into Garza's larger forces. 1 have received reliable information tbat convinces me that the statement contained in your tele gram of Dec. 29 was incorrect as regards the assertion of tbe Mexican minister at Washington that a prominent Mexican citizen was being held by Garza at Ceja Del Prieto, Duval connty, Texas. All the stagelines and travel here have continued as usual, and passengers have been unmolested up to the present time." General Stanley states that there are a nnmber of detachments of cavalry scouting in Dnval, Encinal, Starr and Zapata counties, and that the river is well patrolled with troops from Fort Ringgold to Fort Mcintosh. General Stanley received a dispatch this evening from Capt. John B. Johnson, of the Third Cavalry, who is in command at Fort Brown, which is just across the river from Matamoras, Mexico. The dispatch states that he and a detachment of troops had just returned from a scout of forty miles ud tbe left bank of the Rio Grande from Brownsville, for the pnrpose of reaching a large ranch where a band of revolutionists were supposed to have headquarters. None of them was found and they returned without making a capture. Scouting operations were assisted by a force of three hundred Mexican troops who left Matamoras and made a thorough investigation of the country on the Mexican side at tbe same time that Captain Johnson carried on his work on this side of the river. General Stanley received an interesting letter to-day from Captain Bourke, in which the latter earnestly requests that the attention of the Federal authorities be called at once to tbe necessity of ou increased force of United . States deputy marshals to assist in bringing tbe Mexican offenders against the neutrality laws to justice. He states that the United States troops can only cope with armed bands of marauders, and that it is the duty of the civil ofhers to make arrests of those who are aiding tbe aotive participants in revolutionary movements because they assumed new names and be wanted men who conld identify the suspects. Tho letter of Captain Bourke was laid before United States Marshal Prick by General Stanley this afternoon, and its recommendation that additional deputy marshals shall be appointed will be immediately acted on. It is stated at Laredo to-day that Garza was surrounded in the chapparal in the extreme north western corner of Zapata county by United States troops and rangers, and that it would be almost impossible for him to escape either to the northward or iu the direction of Mexico. Tho report was not confirmed. Famine and Revolution. v City of Mexico. Jan. 4. The latest news from the State of Durango is very sad. Though tbe government is trying to conceal the facts and is giving out contrary accounts, it is now well known tbat the stories heretofore received were not exaggerated and that many people there are suffering from starvation, and it is said if tbe sovernment continues deaf to thecry of the sufferers a rising of tbe people may be expected. To use the words of a man of iniluence among tbe common people. "I prefer to die fighting than from hunger." In the State of Chiopas there is political trouble. The new Governor. Rabasa. is trying to set the people against the late Governor Carrascosa. but the latter, who knows the people well, has created a most decided hostility on tbeir part against Rabasa, and the State is said to be ripe for revolution, not against President Diaz, bnt against his appointee, Rabasa. In Puebla a revolntion was only averted by the general government backing down after arresting the priests in two of the thirty monasteries in Puebla, which is the most Catholie and religious State in the republic It is stated that It was the intention of tbe government to arrest all tbe priests, and, if the people rose, to shoot them down, bnt Bishop Mor, by very trudent preaching by himself and through lis subordinates, averted what seemed to be a trap set for him. A prominent government orlicial says tbe affair was a sad mistake and tbat the government was not t o blame, but the State authorities did not know how to carry out the ordern given. This has given rise to the opinion that tbe whole thing was a plan to oust Governor Eqnez, who is a moderate ruler. . The Garza revolution is becoming a more important matter than the government is willing to concede. It is an open secret here that Garza is receiving money from both persons in Mexioo and the United States, and that contrabandists of all classes on tbe border line of both conntries are contributing to carry on the work. Speculators in Mexican bonds are also said to be lending a hand. There is no doubt bnt that the government will finally triumph over tbe insurgents, but It is possible tbat tbe present movement may be complicated with an uprising by hungry people in some of the sutlering States, in which event, and in the bands of a competent leader, the revolt would have much greater force and perhaps tax the power of tho government.

Drunken Marksman Shoots a Potato from a' Darky's Woolly Pate. Forest and Stream. Before I end this yarn I think I will tell a story. We always used to tell stories, and sometimes a good many of them, every night after we got home from onr day's shooting. There is a negro at City Point so old that nobody knows how old he is one of those old knock-kneed negroes abont 100 years old. all twisted np and doubled np with rheumatism, who walks or crawls about with the assistance of two canes, and is known as Uncle Joe. One day the , old fellow was slowly making bis way through the village street when along came a wnite man, a very well known character in that town, "half seas over." He was pretty nearly "as full as a goat." and he happened to have a ride with him, and a crack shot ho Is, whether drunk or sober. As soon as he 6aw Uncle Joe seated on a stump he sung out: "1 say. Uncle Joe, let me put a potato on top of your head and shoot it off. 1 will give you 50 cents if 1 bnrst tho potato or a doliar if I kill ye." The old negro looked np and replied: Do you say, boss, you will give me SO cents if you bust the potato or a dollar if yerkillme!" "Yes," was the reply. "Well, den, go aheady boss," said the old man. The potato was placed on top of the old negro's head, and tho white man stasgered off about SO pacoa and drew a bead. The smoke and fire shot from the rifle and the potato spun high in the air. He 8taggerea np to Uncle Joe, fumbled around in two or three of his pockets, fished out n half dollar and handed it to him. The old man seemed very much surprised. It was a long time since he had seen so mucii money. He looked at it lovingly, bit It, turned it over, looked np to Jim, and said. "Well, boss, Pse sorry I did not get the dollar." nOW L.ITTXK THEY KNOW CS. A Boston Lecturer Was Astonished to Find Men Wearing Clothes In Indiana, Hartfcrd Ccnrsnt. Mr. Frank B. Sanborn, of Concord, Mass.. has been out in the Indiana "natural-gas belt." and returns home a good deal im pressed by the things he saw and heard tnere. He heard that tbe (known) deposits of gas underlie fourteen Indiana counties and more than hve thousand square miles of Indiana soil. He heard in the city of Anderson thit the family cookina-stove can be run with the new luel for 17 cents a week, or (say) $9 a year; tbe parlor grate for 14 cents a week. or (say) b7 a year. He heard that within six years Anderson had doubled its population, and has ac Quired twenty-tive factories iron, glass. paper, ice, etc. representing an aggregate capital of $2,000,000, and employing 2,500 wane-earners. AH due to tbe gas. He saw in an Anderson hotel the new fnei in use. and tells the readers of tne Bos ton Advertiser about it. as follows: "A spacious reception-room is warmed by a huge gas-grate, in au .'esthetic fireplace, eight or ten feet high, includiug the chimney-piece, which was half as large as the great one m the Hargello at Florence, and bad on its front in artistic tcrrn-cotta two shivering Cupids kindling a blaze with sticks. The Indiana Cupids know a trick worth two of mat; they turn a stop-cock, light a match and in one-half minute the grate is ulaziug with gay pyramids of flume, and your toes begin to wurm. It is tbe nonpari-il of speed and conilort and beauty in the heating of nouses. Occasionally a cooking stove blows np. but what ot thatf There is no soot, no smoke and no coal-scuttle." Ho saw evidences on all sides that, with the new fuel, there has come to the Jioosieraof the gas belt not merely a now prosperity and luxury but also a new refinement and culture. On this very interesting point he reports: "Art advances in Indiana aa fast to-day
