LIVERMORE WILL RE LIKE. The Talented and Patriotic Woman to Take a AVell-Enrned Rest. BOSTON, Jan. 7.-Mrs. Mary A. Livermore to-day announces that after filling three more engagements she shall retire from the lecture platform and go- into private life. This means that an active career in the cause of humanity, extending- over a period: of more than, thirty years, is to end. .Mrs. Livermore is seventy-three years old, and it is largely on account of failing health that she retires. Another reason for her retirement is that she is at work on a book that must be completed before the spring. Mrs. J.tvermore will retain the presidency of the Masachusetts Woman Suffrage Association, and expects to preside at the twenty-sixth annual meeting to-morrow. Late in the spring, when her Mterary work is finished, she will probably speak occasionally in Masachusetts anii other portions of New England, but her tremendously active work for temperance, equal suffrage and social purity that has made her name familiar to all parts of the United States for so many years, will now subside Into a quiet home life. Mary Ashton Rice was born in Boston in 1821. In 1841 she was married to Rev. Daniel P. Livermore. then settled in Fall River. auo watt luenuueu wun me w asmngtonian temperance reform before she was married. mm was on me eauoriai start or a juvenile temperance paper and organized a cold water army of 1,500 boys and clrls for whom she wrote temperance stories.

Her lauuin iw me iiexi iweive years were herculean. Mrs. Livermore perfomed much reportorlal work In those davs. At the first nomination of Abraham Lincoln for the presidency In the Chicago wigwam in 1860 she was the only woman reporter who had a place at the press table. She became interested in the movement for better sanitary conditions of the soluiers,- and from this work she naturally drifted to the lecture platform. Mrs. Livermore organized soldiers' aid societies during the war. She was in many places in the South during the war, notably at the siege of Vicksburg, where General Grant gave her permission to do all she could, and go into the Confederate lines to do the same if they would permit her. Through this movement the United States sanitary commission was born. Through jthe northwest and elsewhere Mrs. Livermore delivered public addresses to stimulate supplies and donations of money for the sick and suffering soldiers. She wrote letters by the hundred and answered all she received. She wrote the circulars, bulletins and mOnthlV renOrfH Of tho Eanltai-V i-.nmml..n jmade trips to the front with the sanitary, 'Ktnraa anil a.a,a n n .. 1 . . . . a i .

Mrs. Livermore assisted to plan, organize and conduct colossal sanitary fairs and wrote a history of them at their close. She detailed! women nurses for the hospitals by order of Secretary Stanton and accompanied them to their posts. It will probably never be realized what a great amount of work Mrs. Livermore did for her fellow beings during the troublous years from 1861 to 1865. After the war Mrs. Livermore became prominent In the woman's suffrage movement. She was the organizer and became the first president of , the Illinois Woman's Suffrage Association, and in January, 1869, she established a woman suffrage paper, the Agitator, at her own cost and risk. In 1870 she came to Boston to be editor of the Woman's Journal and has lived, here since. ""SBBSStpStMSSJBBMSlSMSSBBBSSSS WILL RACE FOR THE CUP. British Royal Yacht Squadron Accents Terms of America iin. ' LONDON', Jan. 7. Punctually at noon, today, the Prince of Wales, commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, drove up in a brougham to the Bodies Club, St. James street, in order to attend a meeting of. the squadron, which was called for that hour. The Prince seemed to be in the best of health and spirits as he entered the clubhouse. Lord Lonsdale and other members of the Royal Yacht Squadron had already preceded the Prince. The meeting was held in the vast, richly-decorated drawing room of the famous old club, on the second floor overlooking St. James street. After a brief discussion a decision was reached to the effect that the Royal Yacht Squadron considers, in view of the meaning attached to the "mutual agreement clause" of the New ork Yacht Club, that the form of receipt for the cup In the event of an English yacht winning it, specified in the deed of in 1887. is not objectionable. Mr. Richard Grant, secretary of the Royal lacnt Squadron, was Instructed to cable to this effect to Commodore James D Smith, chairman of the America's cup committee. A committee was appointed with lull power to decide any other question which may be raised during the arrangement of the minor details of the race. A general meeting was concluded at l-45 when the majority of the members left the club. A few minutes later Lord Dunraven hurried away with Lord Lonsdale, with whom he was busily discussing the affairs of the syndicate of yachtsmen which will build the cup challenger. Kverything which it was possible to do was done to insure n satisfactory race without any further hitches. Lord Dunraven subsequently expressed the opinion that there couli now he no possible doubt of a race taking place. He was unable to understand the interpretation placed by the New York Yacht Club on the deed of 1887, buc that was their affair and not his, inasmuch as it would certainly be Impossible for him to go back upon their construction ot the clause now or upon any future occasion. "And so," said the reporter, "the race will come off In September?" "Ye," replied I,ord Dunraven. "in September, and it will Uke fully Ave mouths

for the new ship to be built, and I have calculated that on whichever side ot the ocean the cup remains the challenged club will always have the advantage of fully nine weeks over the challenger." The committee to decide any question which may arise in connection with the details of the race is as follows: The Prince of Wales, Alarquis ot Ormonde, Sir Charles Hall, O. C, Sir Allan Young and Justice Bruce. To a reporter, after the meeting. Secretary Grant said: "The Prince of Wales is greatly pleased that matters have come to such a satisfactory conclusion. But." said Mr. Grant, "I am afraid, after all, that we shall not bring the cup home. The Americans have always managed to do just a little better than we when we go over there, and I am afraid that they will do the same this time." National Bicycle Show. CHICAGO, Jan. 7.

Sit He A'islted Portugal to Induce Emigration to Hawaii. NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Lorrln A. Thurston, Hawaiian minister to the United States, accompanied by Mrs. Thurston, was a passenger on the Cunard steamship Aurania, which arrived from Liverpool today. Mr. Thurston stated that his trip abroad had no political significance whatever. He- went to Portugal at the request of his government to relnaugurate the importation of Portuguese labor by . the Hawaiian republic. When the sugar industry was flourishing in Hawaii a great deal of foreign labor was brought in and about eleven thousand Portuguese found their way to Honolulu from 1880 to 1887. They make good laborers and the planters prefer mixed crews on their plantations as they are less liable to make trouble than those a!l of one nationality. Then' the sugar industry began to decline just after the enactment of the McKinley tariff bill, the importation of laborers was stopped. About four hundred Portuguese will soon leave for Hawaii. i Mi Thurs,on was shown President Cleveland s statement in answer to Senator Lodge's attack, on Friday last, in which it was intimated that the President had been influenced in withdrawing United States war vessels from Hawaiian waters bv the rnmmlttoo f UonHon n... , . . j iu ttuuaii lujaiiaia who visited Washington last fall.

IMPORTANT INVESTIGATION. Effect of Machinery on Labor to lie Inquired Into by Carrol I'm Bnrcnii. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. A general investigation on the advance of machinery in the industrial world and its effects on labor has begun by the Bureau of Labor. The object ,of the inquiry is to determine what modern machinery has done as compared to hand labor, and what inroads machinery has made in the field formerly occupied by hand labor. It is the first time an investigation on this line has ever been attempted by the government, and it is expected to prove an immense undertaking, though less difficult to accomplish than some of the inquiries already made by the Labor Bureau. Several of the agents have been niieauy sent out on tne work provided with circular inquiries calling for connection of various steciflc instances of hand labor, the time, cost and labor involved In the production of various articles, compared with the corresponding conditions in modern factories.. The work will require a year or more, and the whole force of twenJT twenty-live agents of the bureau in the held will be engaged on it, after a lew weeks, when the collection of statistics of strikes, from 1887 till July 1 last, Is completed.

The committee appointed by District Assembly No. 73, Knights of Labor,to wait on all the 'railroad companies' presidents to make terms for the qpming year, have almost completed their work and the resuu is anything but satisfactory to the employes of the railroads. They wanted an increase of 2" cents per day in their pay. and also other concessions fro.-n the companies, but were met with a blank refusal in each case. The committee of the employes will report (back to the district assembly, on Wednesday, and after the report is heard it will be submitted to the various local assemblies and they will take action on it It is probable that a strike will be declared, as that is the expressed feelings of the members of the committee. .

The delegates to the Columbus "convention of the United Mine Workers' Union and National Trades Assembly No. 135, Knights of Labor, will go instructed as to whether they desire to withdraw from the Knights of Labor. This instruction was conveyed by a circular issued to the locals by xhe general executive bewrd at its session at Columbus last Saturday. It is probable that all the, delegates will be instructed to secede ,ft-om Ihe Knights of Labor, in view of the shabby treatment which they received at the meeting of the General Assembly at New Orleans. So far as the miners of the Pitts burg district are concerned they are almost unanimously in favor of withdrawing from the Knights of Labor. K. of I,. Aaitator MiMMlngr. BUTTE. Mont., Jan. 7.

He had expected to be back early in December. A fruitless effort has been made to find his whereabouts. Breen, who was a violent man In debate, and belonged to the Powderly minority, is believed to have made fatal enemies at the convention.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. The vote of the Democratic caucus this afternoon on Speaker Crisp's motion that the Carlisle bill should be passed showed, almost conclusively that the bill Is doomed in the House. The vote was a painful surprise to Mr. Carlisle and his friends. They had expected a much better showing. The strength of the bill is shown to be among the South rn members along" the coast and the grulf, and it is evident that their support of the bill is due to its free State bank features, the very feature that makes it most objectionable to the Democrats from the East, the North and the interior West. Mr. Carlisle is willing to make any sacrifice to jettison his1 struggling- craft, and it is known that he is willing to throw overboard the free State banks if he can thereby save the remainder of the bill. But to abandon the State banks means to lose so many votes that the outlook becomes more doubtful than ever. Certain it is that the result of the caucus does not look very promising for the eagerly sought "vindication" of the administration's financial scheme. This Is the opportune moment for a compromise. ' It is evident that the Carlisle bill has slender chance of success in the House, and it is conceded by the administration that it has no chance at all in the Senate. Speaker Crisp recognized these facts before he went into the caucus, and then was a conference between the Speaker and several of the leaders of the Senate. "As the result of their conference there is a strong prob ability of the introduction of a compromise bill. THE COMPROMISE BILI The two elements in the Democratic party that must be placated before a currency hill can be passed are the friends of silver and that large body o Eastern and Northern Democrats who Insist that the government guarantee in the shape of a bond deposited in the treasury shall stand behind every note. In other vrords, the two factions in the House are represented, respectively, by the Bland bill and the Sperry bill.' It was the representatives of these two distinct propositions that made the caucus to-day a failure, and it is recognized that they must, be brought in line before anything can be done. Hence the compromise which was the result of to-day's conference between Mr. Crisp and Senators Gorman. Gray and others undertakes to satisfy both the silver men and the bond men. The compromise is. in effect, the fa mous Faulkner compromise which was offered during the fight in the Senate over the unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman bill. It will be remembered that the bill contemplated the issue of flveJiundred mil lions of low-rate bonds, two-and-a-half per cent, if possible, 3 per cent. If neces sary, these bonds to be redeemable at the pleasure of the government, but not before twenty years: the bojids to be sold to the national banks at par and the banks to be permitted to take out currency to the full par value of the bonds: the tax on currency to be reduced to one-quarter of 1 per cent, instead of 1 per cent., as at present; national banks are to be permitted to organize on a minimum capital of $25,000, .instead of $30,000 as at present, to encourage the establishment of national banks in small country towns. Of the five hundred millions obtained from the bond issue one hundred millions are to be available for the expenditure of the government if necessary. The legal tenders are to be redeemed as promptly as possible, and no bank notes to be hereafter Issued for less than $20. all currency of lower denomination to be silver certificates. These provisions it will be seen are essentially in the spirit of the Culberson plan, embodied generally in the Sperry bill. The Eastern Democrats being thus satisfied, the silver men are sought to be won by providing for the coinage of silver, not to exceed $50,000,000 per year. Incidentally, too, the pressing needs of the treasury would be in a measure met by the seigniorage accruing from this coinage of silver. All silver certificates thus issued will be redeemable in silver only. WOULD PASS THE SENATE. These are the broad outlines of the compromise which it Is believed could be passed through the Senate. Democratic leaders of the Senate 'say that a disposition is beginning to manifest itself in that body for some measure on which all the Democrats in that body can agree, and this compromise embodies the views of all the Democrats. It will be remembered that the Faulkner compromise was the result of. a long conference between Senators Gorman, Faulkner, Gray, Vilas, White of Louisiana, Cockrell, Blackburn, ltlnsom and Walthall a gathering, it will be observed, wbisb ewtiacsd tUi sbjulw.

of devotion and of enmitv to the ad

ministration. Should this bill or a bill of similar nature pass the House and come to the Senate Democratic leaders state that there would be no filibuster ing against it in the Senate. This state ment is made after a conference by Dem ocratic Senators with members of the Republican steering committee of the Senate held to-day. Even Senator Juay, who has of recent months come to be the most dreaded filibusterer on the liepublican side, would make no opposition to a bill of such a nature. Of course a final desperate effort will be made in the House to pass some bill which Mr. Car lisle can regard as a vindication. Speak-. er Crisp himself is willing to take the floor in behalf of vindication, but the result of to-days caucus leaves little hoae. Scant faith is had in the vaunted determination of Senator Hill to become the administration's champion in the Senate when the Carlisle bill reaches that body, if it ever does. Leadinsr Democratic Senators sarcastically ask what is Mr. Hill's following that he could bring into line. His recent recon ciliation with the President has not made the New York Senator more popu lar with the "conservatives" than he was during the tariff fight, and there is the certainty of some very spicy controversies between the New Yorker and Senator Gorman when a currency bill is discussed in the Senate. It is possible that the compromise out? lined above may not pass the House, but a bill on that line will be enacted or there will be no legislation. That is the fixed determination of the troverning majority of the Democratic Senators, j. a. THE UKMOCBATIC CAICIS. Carlisle's Bill Indorned toy a Vote of fl to 5!. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Uy a vote of SI to 59 the Democratic House caucus voted, to-day, to indorse the Carlisle substitute currency bill, now before the House. Speaker Crisp took the lead in presenting the resolution and in vigorously urging the necessity of its adoption. The committee on rules was instructed to bring in a rule tomorrow to close debate. Efforts to amend Mr. Crisp's resolution were voted down, one of the adverse votes showing only thirteen members of the caucus favorable to an issue of bonds to retire the green backs. The result of the caucus is ac cepted with considerable apprehension by friends of the bill, notwithstanding the passage of the resolu ion of indorsement. The eighty-one j votes which the measure commanded in caucus i far short of the number necessary to pass it in the House. It is the belief, however, that many of the fifty-nine votes recorded against the resolution will be changed, now that the Carlisle bill has the prestige of the caucus indorsement. But there were several prominent leaders who asserted at the close of the caucus that the vote showed conclu sively that the bill could not pass. The caucus was called together at 2 o'clock, with Mr. Holman in the chair. All of the party leaders of the House, includ ing Speaker CrJp and Messrs. Catchings, Outhwalte, Springer, Wilson, Tracey and Bland, and the Democratic members of the banking and currency committee were on' hand. There wrere 152 members present. Mr. Cockran, of New York, stated early in the day that if the caucus was to be binding he would not enter it, and it was understood - that others would, pursue the same course.. As assurances were given that the caucus would be advisory, rather than binding, Mr. Cockran and his associates concluded to attend. The issue of the caucus was sharply pre sented by the following resolution pre pared by Mf. Springer, and introduced by Speaker Crisp. 'Resolved, That it is the sense of this caucus that the Carlisle currency bill should be passed by the House of Repre sentatives substantially as presented iu the substitute which has been printed in in Record and which will be offered at the proper , time by the chairman of the committee on banking and currency, and that the committee on rules be requested to re port an order to-morrow immediately after the reading of the journal which shall provide for its consideration for one more day for general debate and thereafter under the five-minute rule, and a final vote thereon at the nearest time practicable during the week." ACTION NOT BINDING. Representative Livingston, of Georgia, started the caucus at a lively rate by moving that all who were in attendance should be bound by the action of the caucus. From various parts of the hall came cj-ies of "Point of order," and for a time there was considerable confusion. Chairman Hol man finally sustained the point of order. "For thirty years," said Mr. Holman, "it has been the unbroken rule In the House of Representatives to consider the action of a caucus as advisory and not as binding. It leaves members entirely free to act according to their own judgment." It was agreed that all speeches should be limited to rive minutes. Speaker Crisp then arose in support of the resolution he had offered. He spoke or the profound importance of the situation in which the ma jority of the House found itself. It called for conservative and careful cctlon and a united party. The -resolution was designed to test the sentiment of the caucus on the vital point involved, whether the currency bill now before ths House should pass. Mr. Bland, of Missouri, followed in opposition to the resolution. "We hwe now reached the point," said he. 'when the Democratic party for the first time in its history is asked to become the a.lvocate of national banks." He urged ids specific objections to the bill, being interrupted frequently by calls of "Vote, vote." Mr. Springer next took the floor in si pport of the resolution. He spoke mainly of the importance of a caucus in securing the adhesion of members. While caucus action was not binding, it was nevertheless regarded as very persuasive cn the judgment of members when party action was Involved. The present emergency must be met by the Democratic party as a whole. "The responsibility is on the party," haid he, "and the people will hold .he party accountable' for its action, jn such an emergency caucus action should be very effective in bringing members of the partv together and overcoming minor objections." Mr. Springer's time was extenled to ten minutes in view of his being in chaige of the bill. SPRINGER S TILT WITH COCKRAN. There was a lively interchange of questions and answers between Mr. Cockran and Mr. Springer before the latter closed. Mr. Cockran asked 1 Mr. Springer did not regard the currency question as an economic rather than a party question, a question which never should be submitted to party caucus action. Mr. Springer replied that tho question was both a party and a f-coremic one, but In the present case the party wouid be held resnonsible for the execution of economic principle. There was .nuch confusion as the crossfire between Messrs. Springer and Cockran proceeded, an l Chairman Holman tried vainly to preserve order and quiet. Brief speeches were made by Representatives Cox of Tennessee, i'.jomba of New York, Bailey of Texas. Swanson of Virginia, Coffeen of Wyoming. McRae of Arkansas. Washington of Tennessee, Bryan of Nebraska and Sperry of Connecticut. They showed a very wide divergence of individual views. Mr. Sferry closed his remarks by offering an amendment to the pending resolution by which the Sperry bill for an issue of bond to refund the greenbacks was to be substituted as the one on which the caucus waa to exuress its' approval. Mr. Johnson, of Ohio, a member of the banking and currency committee, followed in opposition to the resolution and- to the Carlisle bill. . iir, ei' Arkansas, aku ulni:ueJ as !

This clo.eJ the speech-making and the submission cf amendments and voting began.

i ne Terry amendment was- voted on first and was defeated 51 to ti4. The Snerrv amendment was also defeated 13 to 7). The last vote1 was regarded as significant in starving the limited strength of the plan to issue bonds to retire the greenbacks.

The question then recurred mi th orleinal resolution to indorse tho Carlisle substitute bill. It was decided to divide the resolution, so as to have separate votes on the indorsement of the bill and on the instructions to the committee on rules.

Charges of a sensational character against United States District Judge Augustus Ricks, of Cleveland, O., are contained In a memorial presented to the House of Representatives today. Representative Johnson, of Ohio, se . . ........ ......v .-.- . . . IV l I V . 1 Al, . t e. VI Li tion instructing the judiciary committee to Investigate the charges and, without debate, the resolution was adopted. The charges are made under oath by S. J. Ritchie, of Akron, O., a wealthy capitalist of that section. While directed mainly at Judge Ricks, they indirectly affect Judge Burke and ex-United States Senator Payne, of Cleveland. Mr. Ritchie gives the names of a formidable array of counsel in Washington, Cleveland and AKron, who have been retailed in his behalf. These include Messrs. Hemphill, Shellabarger & Wilson and Butterworth, of Washington; Keruch & Co., of Cleveland; Judge Upson and Messrs. Green, Grant & Lieber, of Akron. The charges involve losses reaching $6,(K.000. Mr. Ritchie claims to have suffered in decisions made by Judge Ricks affecting Canadian copper and nickel mines. The memorial covers twelve typewritten pages and tells of the discovery of valuable copper and nickel deposits at Sudbury t Junction in Canada by the memorialist In lSS--), which have become of world-wide fame and have supplied all the nickel for armor nlHtcs nsp.l in tho TTnitorl Stiitus navy and by European governments. In order to develop them, to organize corporations and to build a connecting railroad, he says, he associated with himself Stevenson Burke, Henry B. Payne and Thomas W. Cornell, "who' were at that time be-', lieved to be honorable- and trustworthy "men." The corporations were known as the Canadian Copper Company and AngloAmerican Iron Company, wnn principal offices at Cleveland. Mr. Ritchie avers that in 18S9 he negotiated in England for the sale of the property for $15,000,000, when, his petition alleges, his associates "commenced to put into execution a thoroughly planned and infamous scheme" to "rob" himself and his wife, who had thc largest interests. To assist them in their designs, it is charged. Judge Ricks prostituted his office and became their subservient and pliant tool. Mr. Ritchie says that while he was con fined to his bed in 1888 and unable to at tend to his business James B. and George AV. McMullen, of Ontario, secured judgment in Canada on a contract, by which he was to purchase from . them certain railroad lxnds, and brought suit in the Circuit Court of the Northern district of Ohio and secured judgment. According to the memorial it was afterward discovered that a large part of the coupons which the McMullens had agreed to delfver had been stolen by them from the Central Ontario road. Stevenson Burke acted as his attorney, he recites, and says Burke professed to defend the case, but called a meeting- of PavrTe and Corne'l. whom Ritchie terms conspirators, at which they agreed to appropriate to themselves se curities worth ?2,j00,000 belonging to Mr. Ritchie and' deposited with them in connec tion with their mutual Canadian interests, appropriate them ostensibly to prevent them from being seized under the Mc Mullen judgment and then entered Into an agreement with the McMullens that the latter should file a creditor's bill iu the court over which Judge Ricks presided and which, they boasted, would sustain. their interests. It is alleged to have been a part of the agreement that Burke, Payn and Cornell were to be made parties to the bill and the securities in their pos session brought into court. In furtherance of this plan, it is alleged, bis partners defeated the sale for $13,000,000 arranged, planned the destruction of the market value of the properties and, fraudulently trans ferring to themselves the -stocks owned by him, elected Burke president of the company. The books of the company, which, contained a correct statement of his standing, he charges Judge Ricks with with holding from him and refusing permission to his attorneys to inspect them, acting from corrupt motives and In the face of the fact that for eight years no state ment of the condition of he companies had been made as required by liw. Every other jarty to the suit It is declared had free access to them. Harry I. Mcintosh and Samuel E. Williamson were interested also as attorneys in the suit. "In the interest of these parties as in dividuals and attorneys this vicious ruling of Judge Ricks was made," the memorial continues, "and when the charges preferred by the Central Labor I'nion of Cleveland against Judge Ricks were re cently on hearing before the committer appointed by the Houe of Representatives, we find every one of the attorney flying to the rescue of Judge Ricks. We find them also writing to members of Congress and laboring wl.h thern to prevent any reiKrt being made which would be a truthful statement of Judge Ricks's conduct as shown by his own books. The conduct shows too plainly the relations existing between Ricks and the corrupt parties whom he had protected from being convicted by their own looks and records, and he him- ' scif has been shown to te cuiitv an, I c-oriupt by the records of his -otucc." Other snecincation are that all the hooka of the corporation were - chipped from On tario to tne i rwtea states to get them within the jurisdiction of Judge Rick' court, that he made the ruling, refusing riiiciinr nn.-i.-jji. iu mf hooks, wunoui notice or oportunlty for hearing ami. without notice to- her attorneys, dismissed Mis.
