plauded. The St. James Gazette gives prominence to the dispatch and say It regards Mr. LongIey views aa being "specially striking testimony of loyalty of Canada, since It comes from a member of the Llhr eral party, which, has always been supposed to desire closer relations with the United Btates." The Globe publishes a severe article on the Invitation of tho United States Venezuelan Csmml?lon to the governments of drcvt Britain and Venezuela to, submit to the commission all the evidence In' their possession which is likely to further the work of the investigation and bo inviting these two governments to bo represented before It by attorneys without prejudice to either claims, and says: "Great Uritain, will never allow this monstrous claim to determine the territory of a British colony Tvithin Its Jurisdiction. No power could admit It except at the close of a long and disastrous war. Were such a demand made by any other power our only reply wuld be to hand its embassador his passport and mobilize the fleet. Will these pernicious commissioners undertake to answer for the effect upon their own countrymen of forcing the Premier to snub the American Secretary of StateT' The Times says In an editorial: "Our Washington news to-day Is of a decidedly cheering character." The article then proceeds with a Ions comment on G. W. Smalley's letter from Washington, and continues: "We shouil be very sorry to detract Itom thi3 satisfactory account rf th present disposition of the American government by going back on the past, tlll more should we depreciate any undignified display of confidence In our material utrength or national spirit. At the same time the security In which, this government was wrapped a couple of months ago cannot for some time be restored, even If the wiser counsel to which I'resiJent Cleveland has rallied, should succeed, as we fcepe tn-1 believe, la mastering jingoism The Dally News says In an editorial: Our New York correspondent has a hopeful tone aboat Venezuela.

TUB KAISER'S NAVAL. PLAS. Srltlah CorrcRpomlrntii Say They AV1II Fnll KIiole'n Empire Scheme. LONDON, Jan. 22. The Berlin correspondent of the Times says: "The Emperor's message and jcech of Saturday has fallen very hat. If, as 13 supposed, the latter was Intended to help forward a project which has been preparing, to spend ICO.OUO.OU) marks or 20O,0CDfC0O marks on the navy It is hardly likely to succeed. Opinions In the government are very much divided, while in parliamentary circles those who are most desirloua of meeting the Emperor's wishes are not sanguine." The Berlin correspondent of the Daily News and of the Chronicle concur with the' view of the Times'd correspondent as to the unlikelihood of the Emperor's naval plan going through. The Standard has a Derlin dispatch which fays: "In tho coming navy debate in the li.eichstag tne government plans will be revealed, but it is unlikely tnat any credits will be demanded until next session. Unconfirmed ramurs nre abroad that Chancellor Von Honenlohe's condition is precarious, owing to his strenaous opposition to the Emperor's naval plan." The Standard's Utrlln correspondent also says: "The seml-ctticial newspapers publisa a J'retcna dispatch which says that President Kruger has granted citizenship to the Uitlandera who supported him in the recent crisis. There are very few Englishmen among them." A dispatch irom Cape Town says: "At a meeting of the German residents of Salisbury, capital of Mashonaland, a resolution was passed condemning Emperor William's dispatch to I'resiient Kramer as an act of interference with South African affairs." A correspondent, cabling to a New York newspaper, rays: "The extraordinary mystery of the proceedings in the Transvaal Is solved not at all by the daily dispatches. The futility and the bloody ending of the obvious plot, in spite of months of preparation by men of proved ability, are as inexplicable to-day ss cn the morning Jameson crossed the border. Hut the Times gives the first real note in the English press of the conviction everywhere in well informed circles In London that Rhodes' ultimate aim was -the establish- ' lrfg of the United States of South Africa, with Cecil Rhodes as dictator, or a nineteenth' century Washington, if you will. .The bitterness of the South Africa republic or of the Orange Free State against Great Britain would disappear with their common indepenlence and state autonomy ns It did in the United States. The Times's Transvaal correspondent cables that that conviction now is universal in the Transvaal and quotes General Joubert as saying that Uhodes's plan was to blot out the lit tle spots on the map of South Africa, the -Orange Free State and the Transvaal, and to make, not a British, but a RhQdes empire, out of South Africa.'

On the side of the troops only two soldiers were killed and one officer, and fourteen soldiers wounded.

Advices from the Province of Matanzas say that the insurgents recently called on the garrison of Fort Flora, at Daguyra, near Macurijes, that Province, to surrender, but the soldiers refused to do so and the insurgents burned all the cane fields in the vicinity of Fort Flora. This body of insurgents is said to have numbered 1,200 men, and to have been moving westward from the Santa La Grande district. They derailed a train at Chinchilla.

POETESS MURDERED.

Drnlsed Ilody of 3Ilss Mary Hills Found In Her Cottage. NEW YORK, Jan. n. Miss Mary E. Hills, a retired school teacher of supposed ample means, known as a poetess, whose verses appeared in New York newspapers and magazines, wa3 found dead in her cottage at Mamaroneck, to-day, where she lived, under circumstances which lead people there to believe that she was strangled to death by a robber who came for her money. This afternoon, when Mrs. Julia T. Perrin, doughter of Judge Perrin, and Mrs. E. L Goodwin went to make a social call on Miss Hills, they f6und the cottage door locked. Investigation disclosed her dead body. Her dress was disarranged and was torn almost from her body. According to station agent Goodwin, who was the first to see the body, the arms were tied together by a stocking. About her neck and thrown over her head was a fur cape. Some of the witnesses are positive that they saw marks on the woman's throat as if she had been strangled. In the bed chamber, on the upper floor, where Miss Hills slept, everything was in confusion. Bruises on the arms and body seemed to Indicate the theory that Miss Hills was dragged down stairs during the struggle. There was evidence of a severe struggle, showing that the woman fought hard for her life. From the appearance of the house, it is believed that a complete search had been made for valuables.

The first annual conventlgn of the National Association of Manufacturers assembled to-day at Central Music Hall for a three days' session, fully five hundred delegates being present from all sections of the country and representing every branch of trade. Among the principal subjects to be discussed are the devising of ways and means for the re-establishment of reciprocal ' trade agreements with .foreign countries, the recognition and control of the Nicaraguan canal by the United States, the extension of the United States commercial marine and the establishment In South- American capitals and other desirable points of expositions for the display of American "products. Nearly all the delegates are strongly in favor of the exclusive control of the Nicaraguan canal by the United States, and it is probable that strong resolutions on the subject, will be Introduced. Among the prominent men present are T. II. Martin, secretary of the Georgia Manufacturers' Association; exUnited States Senator Warner Miller, of New York; H. Clay Evans and Gen. Willard Warner, of Tennessee, and Thomas Dclan, of Philadelphia. President Dolan called the convention to order. Secretary Wilson proceeded without delay to call the roll of delegates. A reso lution was introduced and passed inviting associate members andoiher visiting manufacturers to take seats on the floor and take part in the proceedings. , President Dolan then read his address, his remarks being frequently interrupted by applause. His ref erence to the policy of protection to American industries, the need of a more. equitable tariff and the advantage to be obtained by a return to the reciprocity system of trade with foreign countries were greeted with especial enthusiasm. , At the conclu sion of his address the report of the execu tive committee was read by the secretary. The report reviewed the work of the last year and a half, touching briefly on the efforts made to increase the membership of the organization and making various recom mendations. The report was accepted on motion of Thomas McDougall. of Cincinnati, and the various recommendations referred to the proper committees. The president1 then' annuonced the mem bership of tho committees on resolutions. revision of the constitution, credentials, nominations and a general committee for questions of a miscellaneous character which may come hjefore the convention. The convention then listened to an able address on "The Home Market" by Thomas McDousrall. of Cincinnati. He spoke m favor of the system of protection and declared that the best thing for the country was for the legislatures to pass proper remedial laws for the condition of the country as it Is at present and then devote their attention to appropriation bills for the next five or ten years. Mr. H. Clark, of Philadelphia, presented a resolution providing that the President of the United States appoint a committee of three to inquire what action should be taken to protect American manufacturers against manufacturing in the East, notably in Japan. The resolution passed unanimously and Mr. Clark, Willard Warner, of Tennessee, and Charles Davis, of Cin cinnati, were appointed members or tne committee. George M. Wallace moved that the association memoralize Congress, the me morial to embody just what the association, as business men, desires congress to ao, and that a committee of seven be first appointed to ascertain what the association wants. This was also passed. Mr. Martin, of Detroit, then introduced a resolution advocating a recognition of the Cuban republic by this country and it was referred to the proper committee. The resolution was prepared by the Detroit Manufacturers' Club. It is in effect that Spain has failed utterly in putting down the Cuban revolution: that on the contrary the Cubans are gaining ground every day; that tho world is waiting for the United States to take the Initiative and that it is injustice to withhold longer the recognition of tho belligerency of the Cubans. The President Is requested to send a ringing message to Congress . calling the attention of that body to the need of Immediate action. Textile Manufacturers. CHICAGO, Jan. 21.

Mr. Joseph 3Ianley, chairman of the subcommittee selected by the national committee, speak ing for and in behalf of every member of the subcommittee, said that arrangements had been perfected for the convention to the entire satisfaction of all. The citizens of St. Louis are to bear the entire expense attached to the convention, and the national committee Is to bear no portion of the expense, or to have the expenditure of any of the money necessary for the carry ing out of the convention arrangements. It is all to be expended by and borne by the citizens of St. Loul3 under the direction of tha subcommittee. Every member of the national committee Is to bear all expenses that he may foe to in attending the conven tion. It was thought wisest and best in order that there might be no misunder standing to have thl3 definitely settled. The citizens' committee, however, will provide rooms for the meeting of the national com mittee for transacting its ofidcial business In connection with the convention. Mr. Manley said he was also authorized to say for every member of the subcom mittee that the selection of the sergeant-at-arms and his, deputies had no connection whatever with the presidential candidate, and has no significance rp?aniin? th rroc. dentlal contest. The men were selected soieiy in referenc6 to -the thtr effiM and without any knowledge of what their presidential Dreferencps r Tho ifiona mu1, 1,01113 have in the most generous and liberal spirit, met the subcommittee. They have been anxious to gratify every request which the committee made on them, and th' committee feels that the convention will be cared for in a manner that will reflect the greatest credit on the liberality of .the citizens of St. Louis, and that no national con vention ever nad its wants and requrements met in SUCh a generous and amnl manner as will the convention which is to be held ou .uoui3 next June. There has been no friction at any time betwe of the citizens' committee and the sub committee, ana it is only Just to these citizens of St. Louis who have so amply represented the spirit of their city that this statement should be most emphatically made. J All the members of the subcommittee visited the Exposition building to-day, accompanied by Mr. Adler. of Chicago. as consulting architect, and inspected the nc-rin nave, wnere it is intended to hold the convention next June. Isaac Taylor, a St. Louis architect, who made the plans for remodeling the building and has charge of the work for the liusiness Men's 1ncmo and Mr. Adler went over the plans carefully jiu any cnanges tnat tne latter may think necessary will be made under his supervision. Mr. Adler has had- charge of such work for numerous other national conventions, and it was for this reason the na tional committee sent to Chicago for him. When completed, it is estimated that th hall will seat at least fifteen t pie and that it will have ample committee rooms. i.verytning that can be done to facilitate the work of the cress and tele graph service is being arranged,.,. The accommodations, it is stated, will be the most complete in every detail that have been afforded: at any national convention. In executive session the committee anpolnted the following committees: un i'rintlng-vl. s. Clarkson, of Iowa: W. H. Hahn. of Ohio, and 11. C. K erens. of Missouri. ,On Hall General Clayton, of Arkansas; . J. Campbell, of Illinois, and Henry C. Payne, of Wisconsin. The latter committee has charge of the work of remodeling the hall, and will see to it that the contract with the local committee is carried out. It was decided that visiting Republicans would have to look to the delegates of their respective districts for tickets to tne convention. This was decided on by the committtee as the best manner of disposing of the tickets, as they hed received so many requests for personal adnrlssions that they found it impossible to look after all themselves. The usual number of tickets will be given to the local committtee. The following resolution was aaoptea unanimously; "Resolved. That the five hundred admlsflon tickets to the Republican national convention set apart for the Grand Army of the Republic be turned over to the members of tne council or administration of that organization representing the several States and Territories for distribution at the said con vention on the basis of the membership of the said organization in each State and Territory." MaJ. W. P. Huxford. of Washington. D. C, was appointed an assistant sergeant-at-arms. This evening the members of the subcommittee attended a meeting at Music Hall of the Republican League clubs of St. Louis and listened to an elaborate address by Clay Evans, of Tennessee, on the general political situation. Chairman Manley's remarks were caused by the following, which appeared in the Post-Dispatch this afternoon: "The easy victory won yeaterday by Colonel Byrnes, of Minneapolis, for sergeant-at-arms of the Republican national convention.- means more than a personal triumph or the recognition of section. It means that there is a distinct agreement among the McKinley and Allison managers to help one another. This information, it was stated, was given out by one of Mr. Byrnes' closest friends." Colonel Hyrnes was shown the statement, and had this to say: "The story has no foundation! in fact. My selection as sergeant-at-arms was not trough t about as the result of a combination between McKinley and. Allison managers. Politics had nothing whatever to do with the matter. It was mv personal friendship with the members of the subcommittee that secured me the position." Free Sllverltes on Top. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Jan. a.-At the meeting of the Democratic State executive committee here to-day John B. Knox, a stanch supporter of Joseph P. Johnston, the free silver candidate for Governor, was elected chairman and all vacancies were filled with Johnston supporters. The disposition of the committee is for a convention in April or May. EttUALITY IS MATRIMONY. 31a rr In fire with the "Obey Let Out ns n. Modern Problem. New York Sun. Prof. Felix Adler delivered a discourse on the "Ethics of Marriage" to the Ethical Culture Society in Carnegie Hall yesterday morning. "Modern society," he said, "is passing through a period of transition and transformation. The most settled traditions, the most sacred Institutions, cannot entirely resist the influences that make for change. The institution of marriage Is subject to these influences. The restrictions placed by society or the state upon the freedom of, individuals in concluding the marriage contract have been almost entirely removed, and the Increasing recognition of the equality of women with men has made mutual adjustment in wedlock more difficult. "The state still forbids plural marriages and the marriage of minors, but In other respects men and women are at liberty to form alliances according to their pleasure even the old with the young, the sick with the healthy, the contaminated with the in nocent. The state does not inquire. ro legal checks whatever remain. A return to coercive measures is, of course, impossible, but It seem3 a3 if the church ard all asso ciations that are interested in moral progress have here a duty to perform. If legal restrictions are no longer po.slble, the checks of moral influence are all the mere Imperatively called for. "The increasing recognition of woman's equality with man is a great gain, but like every other gain, is attended with corre sponding loss. The problem of marriage is how two minds, often different Jn texture ar.J quality and contents, shall become one mind: how two wills shall be made one will. The solution of this problem was far easier at a time when It was believed that, ac cording to the decrees of nature and the commands of God, one of the parties ought to be subordinate to the other; when it was believed that the man Is the head of the woman, as Christ is the head of the church. Under such conditions It was not doubtful which of the two persons ought In the last analysis to yield to the other, but when two equal and independent wills are pitted one against the other there mu3t be deep sym nathy If there is to be unity. "The almost incredible headway which the divorce movement Is making in this and other countries shows that this sympathy

is wanting. A famous French statistician excJaims, 'I know not what breath of discord is passing over the households of the world.' And he declares that the number of divorces is increasing irrespective of nationality or country or religion. In 1S67 there were annually less than tea thousand divorces in the United States. In 1JSS6 these had increased to 25.000. In 1S70 there was one divorce to very 3.517 marriages. Ten years later there was one to 2.051. It doe not seem that the laxity or strictness of laws Is a principal cause. The number of divorces has increased in States whose laws are strict as well as In those whose laws are lax. It does not seem that the Inharmonious character of the laws of the different States is the principal cause, or that a federal divorce law would remedy the evil. The government's statistics seem to show that In a majority of cases investigated the divorce was granted in the State where the parties were married. The migratory habits of our population account for the loosening of the mamae tie to some extent, for we find that in the United States desertion is an important ground of divorce, while elsewhere, it is a minor eround. But I am tersuaded that the prin

cipal cause, after all. Is that a new and high er type or the marriage relation is te:ng evolved, based on equality instead of subordination, and that Jn many cases the moral perceptions are still .inadequate to realize this typ' and to win from it all the fine results which are prophesied for the future. "If I spe,ak of the new tjpe of the marriage relation I do not agree with those who think that monogamic marriage Is to be replaced by something better. I know of nothing better thaii monogamy, ngntiy understood. When I refer to a higher type I mean a type In which the essential prin ciple of marriage, as we know It, shall be still further intensified, purified and elevated; in which the polygamous relations that actually subsist at the present day In the miist of a society which professes the contrary principle shall be more anfl more done away with; in which the life-long companionship of one man with one woman wedded In mind as well as in heart, shall be more and more brought to honor and recognized as what it isthe1 fountain of srning of civilization and of all the humanities." INTO A BURNING HEAP FIVE ST. LOUS FIREMEN CARRIED DOWN BY FALLING FLOORS. Their Afironizlnc Cries Heard for a Time, bat .the Voices Finally Stilled 1r Flames and Water. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2L A stubborn fire broke out at 10:30 o'clock to-night in the basement of the four-story store building at No. 415 Broadway, occupied by Aloe & Co., dealers In optical, surgical and electrical instruments. The firm has been In business here for the past forty years, and carried an extensive stock of fine painting ma terials. All the fire companies in the business part of town were soon fighting the flames, and by strenuous efforts succeeded in confining them to the Aloe building. An immense amount of water was thrown on the fire, which was finally got under control and practically subdued, when the top floor caved in and fell through to the first floor, pinning down four firemen who were at work there. The men were cov ered with broken beams, flooring, show cases and a large quantity of the stock, which was set ablaze again by the crash. All the firemen available were put to work to rescue their fellows, and several streams were turned on the burning heap, from which could be heard their agonizing cries for help. Finally all the voices but one were stilled. Whether the flames had reached the other three and ended their agony 13 not known. The men were Capt. Bienville, Iteinhart Miller and James Ilhodely, of salvage corps No. 2, and Mllon Curly, of chemical company No. 1. Early during the progress of the fire Owney Hires, of truck No. 6, was rescued from the second floor badly cut by flying glass and suffocated by smoke. He was taken to the City Hospital. The total loss by fire and water is estimated at about 1200,000 on stock and building. Fifty thousand dol lars of this is on the building, which is owned by Charles McClure. The loss Is be lieved to be covered by insurance. Later Five firemen are buried In the ruins and one is dead at Mercy Hospital. Four of the men in the ruins are thought to be dead, as nothing can be seen or heard of them, while the fifth, Rhelnhart Miller, of Salvage Corps No. 1, can bo heard, and it is hoped to rescue him alive. Owney Hires, foreman of truck No. 6. who was taken from the burning building soon after the fire started, badly suffocated and cut, died while being taken to Mercy Hospital In an ambulance. The dead are: OWNEY HIRES, foreman Truck No. 6. CAPTAIN GLANVILLE, of Salvage Corps No. 2. JAMES (RHODDY, of Salvage Corps No. 2. MILTON CURLY, of Salvage Corps, No. L STAUNTON, of Chemical No. 1. The total loss caused by fire and water is estimated at $200,000; fairly Insured. Aloe & Co. palace their loss at about $150,000, and it is thought the loss on the building will amount to $50,000. Several thousand dollars damage was done to the stock of Jordan & Co., a cutlery Aim at No. 417 Broadway. At 1:30 a. m. the firemen succeeded in rescuing Miller who was taken to St. John's Hospital. His left arm was broken and his body badly bruised, but ha is not fatally Injured. The firemen are now working at the pile of debris with the prospect of soon getting out the bodies of the missiag men, who are undoubtedly dead. Other Fires. CAMDEN, Ark., Jan. 21.-One-half of the business part of Eldorado, the south side of the square, six brick and two frame buildings, with their contents, were destroyed by fire this morning. Loss, $40,000; insurance, $20,. HELENA, Mont., Jan. 21. Shortly after 9 o'clock this evening the Montana Lumber Company's plant and lumber yards were destroyed by . fire, entailing a loss of $100,000 ; partly covered by insurance. GENERAL GRANT WAS CLUBBED. lie DearrTed It, Too, and Made !Vo Complaint Agalnnt the Blaccoat. New York World. Once upon a time General Gant was beaten. He was beaten in less than half a minute, and he made no attempt to light back. As a result of this beating there is to-day in New York a trembling policeman, and here Is the story of the affair. Jacob Kiis tells it. When It happened he was a reporter at police headquarters for the Associated Pi ess. "The Maconlc Temple was on fire," says Mr. Itiis. "The temple is on the corner of Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue, and the fire happened more than ten years ago. The fire lines were formed, snow was falling and the police were out of temper. Along from the Fifth-avenue Hotel there came a small man. with his hands In his pockets anJ a big cigar sticking out of the corner of his mouth. He did not notice the fire lines or anything, but walked straight ahead with his head down. He ran into the arms of a big policeman who had tired himself pushing people back. 'Blank, blank, blank!' said the policeman. Mo yo take me for a wooden Indian 7 Without waiting for an answer, the policeman seized the man by the collar ani, with a few more blanks, brought his club with a loul whack across the small man's back below the waist. The small man sail not a word, barely looked up and resumed his walk, with his hands still in his pockets. I said to the policeman, whom I knew: Great heavens, man, do you know who that was you clubbed?' 'Nav,' sa'd the policeman. I don't. Well I said, 'it's General Grant ani his face fell almost a foot." The man who clubbed old Gen. Grant Is still on the force, ant Mr. Itlis knows him. At present Gen. Grant's son is a police commissioner with the power of blighting policemen's lives. The policeman who clubbed the commissioner's father Is now wondering and trembling as he wonders whether by any chance h s rarr.e or number was hanied down In the Grant family. He need not wonier, for It was not. and Mr. Itlis does not propose to tell who the policeman was. Ilesi'es, says Mr. Ill is. General Grant et a rcoJ example when he took his brief clubbing like a little man and walked on without a murmur. He knew that he had run Into a sentry on duty ani was pleased to escane fo easily. General Grant's son would probably not take as calm a view as Mr. Hits des of General Grant's c'.ubbing, but it Is rot likely thst he would be very vengeful. v i mild net anxious for gore cr trouble.

The latest cure for insomnia is cheap, healthy and eJlicacious. The remedy was suggested by an old doctor to whom a despairing young man had gone for advice. "Of course," said the doctor, I could give you plenty of drugs that would put you to sleep, but in the caso of a younff man, that is always to bo avoided. Th reason -.you cannot sleep is because your nerves aro all unstrung. That does not necessarily mean that you must put your nervous system to sleep by the use of drugs. What you want Is a mild excitement, that will lift your nervous system out of the rut it has fallen into. The lt thing in the world to do that is a trolley ride. Don't try to settle upon any particular route. Just Jump on any car thai corals along. Don't even ask the conductor wher the car is going to, but Just go along with the car. It will surely come back soma time to the point where you took it. If tfcs route is eight or ten miles long so much the better. One thing is certain, you will either sleep during tho ride or as soon as It is over." Ldvlnsc Deantf. George Meredith. People talk of perfect beauty, beauty .i itotu fnr nalnttnim And Rta.tUMi.
