Action of Mexican Wr Veteran. ' WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. A meeting of the urvivors of the Mexican war was held tonight to give expression to their regrets on the loss of their esteemed comrade, Gen. Mahlon D. Manson, president-of the association. Suitable rpsoln Mm were nnnsed. Tribute from Governor Matthews. In speaking of General Hanson's death, yesterday. Governor Matthews said: ' "Gen. Manson's death caused but little surprise , to his friends, who, had for Borne time past been fearing and expecting It. Death came : to him as might have been expected from ais long, earnest, busy life, his restless, determined energy keeping him on his feet to the last. He held his friends to him because he was true to his friendships. He commanded respect because he was brare, and just, and sincere. His life was . an honored and useful one, both as a public and private citizen. He was liberal in hi3 views and in the expression of his opinions. He has so long been a prominent figure before the public that we will miss the 'old familiar form at assemblages to which his warm social feelings brought him. I do not believe he has missed a State convention or his district congressional convention for thirty years, nor the Grand Army and Mexican veteran reunions. The general verdict will be that he was a generous, brave and honest man. and what better ; record can be written."- ' AVI 11 Attend the Funeral.

Dr. Holmes, In a card In one of the daily pafere, said that the only effect of such leciires would be to unsettle young minds. President Parsons, of the Normal, has been Interviewed, and, while he "believed the general thought of the lecture was correct, yet I-. the lecture was altogether too negative and . destructive in Its character, t The President ' said that the lecture committee, which is composed of students and members of the! ' faculty, ought not to be censured for bring-' lng to the city on first-class testimonials a professor of Hebrew in one of the Christian colleges of: the State, because part of tan audience was disappointed in the theological views of the lecturer.

At the opening of court, in Tipton, yesterday, Judge Klrk- " Patrick, of this city, delivered a special charge to the grand jury. Instructing that body to give attention to the frauds charged at the recent election In that county. The vote was very close and, for the first time In many years the Republicans elected part of the, local ticket. " Wholesale corruption was charged by both parties. The Republicans were more specific in their allegations, declaring that the - Democrats, in their desperation to retain control In county affairs, resorted to bribery, stuffing the ballot boxes, throwing out legal ballots, voting the poorhouse inmates in a gang and altering tally sheets. The action of Judge Klrkpatrlck In ordering an investigation by the r rand jury has thrown the politicians and fine workers Into a panic. The frauds have heen so flagrant and so open that wholesale Indictments are believed to be inevitable. The grand Jury is evenly divided politically and composed of excellent citizens. Judge Klrkpatrlek, though' a Democrat, Is State president of the Indiana Christian Endeavor Society, and will do all In his power to end iho political corruption that has existed in Tipton county unrestrained for so many years. ..,... rttUX ED THE LICENSE.

The decision is in favor of the street car companies. Alderman Cassity, of Long Island City, at a meeting of the Board of Aldermen today, introduced a resolution annulling the franchise of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company. The resolution was referred to the law, committee, with instructions to report it at the next meeting. Mr. Cassity also introduced a resolution ordering that every motorman should be a citizen, a resident of the State for one year and of the city four months, and must hold a license. This resolution was also referred to the law committee. Late this afternoon, when a car of the Flushing-avenue line reached the corner of Driggs avenue and Leonard street on ks way down town a crowd of about fifty strikers suddenly appeared, and, notwithstanding . that the car was full of passengers, began hurling stones and other missiles at it. A huge piece of iron went crashing through one of the windows, followed by a shower of rocks. Special policeman Thomas Pender, who was acting as guard to the car,, was feet on by the rioters and beaten almost into insensibility. Several policemen went to the rescue, and officer Behlens drew his revolver and fired three shots point blank at the strikers.

Gaynor, Justice of the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration, in which he discusses the circumstances attending the Brooklyn trolley strike and in which he asserts that the dispute was brought on by the attempt to create vast Inflated wealth and that, under healthy conditions, it should not have lasted an hour. Until the cause is removed he says it Is idle to prevent the effect. He recites how the entire Brooklyn city system was absorbed by the Brooklyn Heights Company, with a paper capital of $30,000,000, without a dollar or a rail at the back of it. The manipulation of shrewd Wall-street men caused the strike. Justice Gaynor's letter was sent at the request of the arbitration board and he asks it to be regarded as the .opinion of a citizen having nothing to do with his judicial position.

Text of the Document Given China's Pence Commissioners. LONDON, Feb. 5. A dispatch to the Times from Yokohama says that the text of the credentials of the Chinese peace envoys' with whom Japan refused to treat on account of Insufficiency of their powers, wa3 as follows: : "By decree we appoint you our plenipotentiaries to meet and negotiate the matter with the plenipotentiaries appointed by Japan. You will, however, telegraph to the Tsung-ll-Yamen (Chinese fore'gn office) for the purpose of obtaining our commands by which you will abide. The members of your commission are placed unaer your comrui. You will conduct your mission in a faithful and diligent manner and fulfill the trust reposed in you. Respect this." A dispatch from Peking says that the capture of Teng-Chou (Wel-hal-Wel) has made a deeper impression on the Chinese than the fall of Port Arthur. The dispatch adds that the reported refusal of Japan to treat with the Chinese envoys confirms the belief expressed in Peking that the Japanese are not wiling to name their terms of peace.

PROPOSE!) AIR FISH

GEV. WILLIAM SOOY SMITH'S IDEA OF THE COMIXO BALLOON. It Will Be Constructed on the Principle of the Wafer DellerXew Thing; In Aeronautics. CHICAGO. Feb. 5. Gen. Wm. Sooy Smith, the expert engineer, has a novel idea in regard to the construction of balloons for war purposes or other uses. Speaking, to-day, of the new war balloon which Uncle Sam proposes to have built for army balloonists at Fort LogarC Col., General Smith, after pointing out that this Is the first war balloon that will be bujlt In this country, all others having been made In France, said: "Some time ago, while on an engineering tour, I sat down on the banks of a stream and watched a fish that was floating quietly a few feet from the surface".', I soon noticed that it rose and fell at will without the slightest movement of a fin. I became interested In the operation from a mechanical standpoint. I naturally supposed that the fish was enabled to sink by letting out a few bubbles of air. But how was he to get air with which to rise? That set me thinking, and when I studied the matter I found that the fish rose and fell by a contraction of his muscles, that compressed him and altered his size slightly, according to the depth he wished to sink. Now, notwithstanding the amount of attention the subject of aerial navigation has lately received, the balloon Is as crude in principle as it was the day it was invented. It is still lowered by letting gas escape and raised by throwing out sand bags. "When a balloon ha3 once thrown out its sand bags and liberated enough gas to come to the ground, its usefulness is at end until ft is recharged. The present balloon is, therefore, not an air-traveling machine, but merely the means of a single excursion. I think the first step in solving the problem of aerial navigation is in making a sailing ship or balloon that is capable of unlimited voyages that is to say, a balloon that could come to the ground and rise again without wasting any gas, He in wait for favorable winds, and do this any number of times, and be, in fact, a perpetual balloon, capable of returning. The way to do this would be to take advantage of the principle of the fish. As it would not be possible to compress the bag of a balloon, the mechanical way would be to carry a metal reservoir and a small hand compresser instead of the sand bags. The pump could be attached to the escape tube. When the aeronaut wished to descend he would pump part of the gas out of the balloon into the compresser. Then, when he had weathered the storm or performed his errand, the gas could be allowed to expand again a simple idea, but one that has not been adopted in aeronautics. SUPREME COUNCIL N. F. A. AND I. U. Annual Meetlnsr of the Organisation in North Carolina's Capital. RALEIGH, N. C, Feb. 5.

"Resolved, That this national council of the Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union, in regular annual session assembled, enter our solemn and most earnest protest against such issue.. t "Resolved, That instead the administration be urged to employ the option allowed by law and pay out silver as well as gold when coin -Is -demanded- for the treasury, notes.'- f i.e "',(..

Father and Son Horned to Death and n Fireman Seriously Hart.' PITTSBURG, Feb. 5. Two persons were burned to death and another probably fatally injured In a fire on Second avenue shortly after midnight. Their names were: Frederick Danmueller, aged forty years, burned to death; his son, aged six years; John Patterson, fireman, hurt internally and may die. Danmueller kept a small store at No. 236 Second avenue and lived ' in the rear. About midnight a fire started In the kitchen of DanmueWer's house and in a few minutes was burning fiercely. Danmueller, his wife and two children and a hired man ran to the front part of the house to save themselves. On the way Mrs. Danmueller lost the little boy, and her husband returned to find him. Mrs. Danmueller and the children were saved by Jumping into blankets held by people in the street and the man ran down the stairway. After the nre was out Danmueller and . the boy were found lying on the floor of the bedroom. They were not badly burned, but were probably suffocated. The dwelling next door, owned by John Finnegan, was also burned. During the progress of the tire fireman John Patterson fell from, the building and was Injured so badly that he will probably die. The loss by the fire will not exceed $5,000. o lew from, the Concord. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. Neither at the State Department nor at the Navy Department has there come any word from China in confirmation of the reported capture by a Chinese mob of some of the officers of the gunboat Concord who accidentally killed a native while on a shooting expedition. This lack of an official report has strengthened the belief of officials that the story was either without foundation or else much exaggerated. Had the matter been t -all serious the commanding officer of the Concord would have been obliged by the naval regulations to report the event immediately to his superior officer, Admiral Carpenter, who in turn would have reported it to the Navy Department, or if the admiral was not within easy communication !t would have been the duty of the captain to have reported directly, to the Navy Department. Tobacco Warehouse Burned. CINCINNATI, Feb. 5. The Bodman leaf tobacco warehouse, a large structure on West Front street, near the Northern end of the snusper.sloni bridge, caught fire in a mysterious way at 6:30 o'clock a. m. and is now a hollow ruin, nothing but 'the walls standing. There was no fire In the building at the place where the fire originated and no one is able to present any theory except incendiarism to account for the fire. The place was full of valuable leaf tobacco in hogsheads, all of which was destroyed. The loss on stock is estimated at 240,000, and on building $60,000. The insurance, it is said, will fully cover the loss. The firemen suffered severely from bitter cold weather, i Beheaded for Cot rardicc. LONDON, Feb, C The Times dispatch from Hong Kong says letters have been received there from New Schwang. dated Jan. 19, which report that the Japanese are meeting with increasing difficulty in their advance.

AB-ILuJu!f CURE

WHO TOLD THE TRUTH 31 RS. ORU FLATLY CONTRADICTS SENATOR IIO YD.',' Reports that Mrs. Orr and Mr. Paxton Were Discharged by Mr. Johnson Denied by Hint. " Before the committee left for Richmond yesterday morning Senator White received a letter Horn Fort Wayne, stating that Mrs. Orr, matron of the school for the feeble minded, and book-keepor P ixton, who had , given evidence before the committee on ben- I . . 1 A . - L . 1 . 1 ' fvvitai uiHucuuons concerning mw iwui--mlnded school, had been discharged by Superintendent Johnson. Informat:cin has al-! ready reached the city to the effect that the employes of the Fort Wayne institution feel greatly aggrieved at the ection of Senator Boyd because of the disclosures that the latter made. The grievance of the, employes is that they were pledged that nothing concerning their statements reflecting on the management of Johnson should be published until the formal report of the committee was made to the Legislature, and that then the identity of the persons giving the testimony should be concealed., It is in evidence that the members of the committee agreed to keep the damaging dlsclrsures secret until the committee made us report, and the charge is that Senator Boyd, afr enjoining the others to secrecy, at thy first opportunity told all there was to tell. The effect on the employes, who furnished the information, is to expose them to whatever vials of wrath Superintendent Johnson may choose to uncork. -Committees in Richmond. The Senate and House committees on benevolent Institutions returned last night frcm Richmond, where they went to visit the Eastern hospital for the insane. . Members cf the committee speak favorably of Superintendent Smith's management of the Institution, end they are kindly disposed toward the request for an appropriation for additional facilities and accommodations. The amount asked is $100,000, but it is doubtful, if the committee wlH recommend an appropri&tion of that amount. The most serious objection that the committee has to the management of the Richmond institution is that up to the time of the recent election it was almost unanimously Democratic. Since the November election Superintendent Smith . appears . to have awakened' to the idea that possibly it would be better to abolish the political test, and a few Republicans have been given employment. " ' What Ulr. Johnson Says. The Journal's Fort Wayne correspondent sends the following in regard to this matter: To-day, Superintendent Johnson, of the State Home for Feeble Minded, submitted to an interview in regard to the charges against him by Senator Boyd and the legislative-committee on benevolent institutions. He offers explanation for the charges of cruelty and feeding inmates worm-eaten food, but makes no excuses or explanations of the charges of nepotism or partisan administration of the affairs of his pffica. He says he will court an investigation and furnish' proof of his innocence of flagrant abuses of his office. The charges of cruelty, he admits in part, and in regard to his assault on Jack Frost, an inmate, makes a partial confession, but says the report exaggerates and distorts the facts. Mr. Johnson says Mr. Paxton, the stenographer who gave some of the testimony against him, resigned voluntarily Sunday and he went to Chicago. He was not dismissed, nor was there cause for dismissal now more than there would have been a year ago. Mrs. Orr makes the following statement: ' . , "I never said that Mr. Johnson had slapped and kicked Nellie May. I Lever saw a child in this institution cruelly treated by Mr. Johnson or any one else, nor did I ever say to any one that Mr. Johnson shook his fist in my face and called me a damned liar. He never did it, and I never said it. As to the vermin in cereals and fruits, I did say to tho committee that we had received food of that kind, but I added that it was impossible to prevent such imposition at ail times, especially during the fall." Mr. E. A. K. Hackett. of this city, and Dr. A. H. Shaffer, of Huntington, trustees of the institution, and Superintendent Johnson will go to Indianapolis Wednesday morning. COMMERCIAL CLUB'S VIEWS On Payment of Cost of Street Cleaninn from General Fund. The Commercial Club committee on city interests has submitted a communication to the House committee on the affairs of the city of Indianapolis, calling attention to what they believe to be a serious defect in the proposed amendments to Sections 89, and 90 of. the city charter. If these amendments should be adopted the committee says they would abolish the present system of street cleaning without providing the substitution of any fixed system, though the city attorney thinks that under the general powers conferred upon it the city has authority to Inaugurate a plan of street cleaning to be paid for from the general fund, if revenues for this purpose should be made available. The committee says that this would mean a return to the old way, when cleaning of streets was Irregular and uncertain, as a result of which the streets were almost constantly In bad condition, and the neglect was tho cause of much dissatisfaction. In view of this experience, it seems to the committee that the change, as proposed, would be a step backward. The committee believes that there is merit in the proposed amendment to pay for street cleaning from the general fund, but regards as a very serious mistake the abolition of the present system without substituting for it one that would equally assure the cleaning of streets. I, is believed that this may be done by requiring that street cleaning shall be done under contract, as at present, and requiring in the charter that the Council shall levy a special tax to be sufficient for thorough work and to used for this purpose only. If the section is properly framed it would assure the cleaning of streets and would at the same time provide for the payment of the work from the general fund. The committee regards the proposed amendment to Section 73 as a step in the wrong direction. It would permit obstruction of. public improvementa by persons owning property, but not residing on the streets to be Improved. It is argued that the people residing on the street are the principal sufferers from the lack of its improvement. The committee believes it is wrong that those who have merely a financial Interest in preventing such Improvements should be given power to obstruct them, or should have equal voice with those whose comfort and convenience, as well as financial interests, are affected. City Attorney Scott holds that Section 69, giving the Board of Public Works power "To repair, clean, light and sprinkle any street" is sufficient authority for doing the work. HE GAVE IT IP. Mr. Harris Struiraled Manfully, but Was Forced to Yield. Chicago Tribune. A man with a small valise and a. persuasive voice invaded a house on the West Side the other day and Introduced himself as follows: "I have secured the agency for this city ma'ma, of a ! work which I would like to show you.

It contains upwards of 2.750 recipes, including specific directions for " - "Isn't your name Plunkett?" interrupted the woman of the house who had been studying his features as if trying to remember where she had seen him before. "No, madam," he replied, "my name Is Harris." "You look like a family I used to know down near Fairview. The Plunketta were related to the Van Arsdales everybody called them Van Owiolla and I';n not sure but they were second or third t-ous1ns of the Qaddises. Ever been in Fairview?" "No, ma'ma. Now, this work, as I was

saying, contains directions for doing aU, kinds of needlework, all descriptions of "" "Well, it does beat me! If I'd met you anywhere on the street J should have been just as sure you were Aaron Plunkett as I am that I'm standing here. Your voice Is exactly like his. you're about his slxe and

"-You said you were never in " ' . "No. I was never there." broke in the caller, becoming slightly impatient. "You will find in this work full and complete directions for making toilet soap " "I've tried that. It's a good deal cheaper to buy it. When I live! in Fairview there was a peddler came round one day with a recipe for making toilet soap. He claimed he had sold it to the Suydams, and the Pumyeas, an1 the Sperlings, and -the Shreveses, and the Piersols. and some of the other neighbors, and I bought it of him and it cost me $1.75 to make a lot of soap I could have bought for" "But that's only one thing' out of thousands in this book, madam. You can make your own confectionery ' "I've tried that, too. You ought to have seen Sime Powelson laugh at a lot of candy I made once by following directions ia a took; x can matte as gooa moiasses canuy as anybody, but when I want the fancy kinds I always go and buy em. It's the cheapest and best way. In the long run.". "In this book you will learn how to " make and fit children's garments-"--"Land! We haven't any children but what's able to get thi-ir own clothes. There's six of them and they're all boys. The j youngest is fifteen and he clerks in a clothing store. He j was coming home the other night and slipped ,and fell.

Rome Letter, in British Medical Journal. r The health of Pope Io XIII is a matter of so much Interest to Europe at the present time that I have sought from his physician. Tit T.annn-l aim. fn.tl.aw ......ft-:,......... ri-v. - venerable Pontiff has very graciously given his permission to Dr. Lapponl to communicate to. me the following facts. This perm aat -tit I Aofakw. 4 1a . n . . v. t -1 i nits in ai nine ijfu aui nas acceded to BUcn a request. Moreover, the facts themselves are of so much medical, or perhaps I ought to say physiological, interest, for it must be remembered that the Pope will complete . i a a - k . : t . 111 , nis esgniy-niin year next fliarch, that having his permission, I need make no apology for writing somewhat at length. The Pope's health at the present time la perfect, and he has not suffered the least indlsnosirinn for fdsrht mntrtha. Thl. h.oitk,. condition Is, no doubt, due largely, not alone to his possessing a sound constitution. oui aiso 10 me regular ana abstemious lire he has led. Throughout his long and hardworking life he has enjoyed .'very good health, with tbe exception of a. period when he was about thirty-five years of age, during which he suffered from typhoid fever. me musirious i-onim was men residing at Benevento, and he has told Dr. LapoonI that the fever was cured by means of three cold baths administered by Dr. Vulpe, who attended him during his illness. This is probably one of the earliest cases treated by this means; if so. It is a very interesting fact in the history of medicine. . . v.. . Dr. -Lapponl Informs me that all - the organs of the body are perfectly healthy and perform their functions In a normal manner. There are no perceptible indications of a theroma of the artefles, and there is only very slight arcus senilis in the upper portions of the cornea. The pulse , is regular with no Intermission, sixty-eight to seventy pulsations per minute. The eyesight is good, slightly presbyopic, but he can read a news paper without tho aid of glasses. The hear-, ing is very good. The Pope has for a great many years eaten very moderatedy and has been very abstemious in the use of stimulants. The following is his dally regimen: ' Breakfast, a cup of coffee with milk and a little bread; dinner, soup, boiled meat or roast lamb, with potatoes or other vegetable, and a small wlneglassful of Bordeaux wine; supper, soup and bread, and the same quantity of wine as for dinner. His Holiness takes no other stimulant but claret and eschews the heavier wines. On occasions h takes some soup between' meals. His digestion is very good. The dall quantity of food he eats is very small, so much so that Dr. Lapponl said that he could eat as much at one meal as .the Pope does in a week. By the advice of the doctor he rarely .abstains, although he is very desirous of doin! so. On these occasions he eats sole or codfish. He takes daily exercise in the Vatican gardens when the weather permits, and, when unsuitable, in his apartments. Although he looks very fragile, he possesses much more physical strength than might be med. He is accustomed to little sleep, .y from three to four hours a night, ..the addition of a Bhort nap after din- , ite retires to ioea very late ana gets jp very early. Tne cnier indication or his age is the muscular trembling from which he suffers. His mind is very lucid and his memory, to use Dr. Lapponi's expression, is "very prodigious" (molto prodigiosan For his speeches he makes very few notes, a word here and there as headings for the chief divisions of his discourses. As Is known to those persons who have had the privilege of hearing the illustrious Pontiff., he speaks with the greatest facility and force, and in most elegant diction. On occasions he lias repeated to Dr. lapponl the whole of one of his speeches. He is an Indefatigable worker, toiling as a rule about fifteen hours a day. He holds receptions from 9 a. m. to 2 p. m., besides the other various duties his position entails. 'Dr. Lapponi s .tes that he himself, who Is a young, very active, and, I must add, a very courteous, gentleman, "could not dream of getting through the dally work of the Pope." Leo XIII is of a nervous temperament; he has keen powers of perception, and appears to grasp intuitively the fundamental facts of questions with which he has not had previous acquaintance. It may interest some persons to know that he takes snuff largely. Finally, Dr. Lapponl gave it as his opinion that Judging from the present condition of the health of the venerable Pontiff, there is no reason, why he should not live for many years. .. Myron W.
