distant when Great Britain will be aa free as we are. In many of their late proceedings they have teen approaching nearer and nearer to the rule of the people In their country: and but for the Irish question. I have no doubt that they would approach much nearer." Mr. White asked Mr. Sherman ir he had rot mad a favorable report on a bill similar to th pending one. Mr. Sherman conceded that he had. but paid It had now become apparent that the private canal company could not carry out the project. MORGAN ItKPLIKS TO SHERMAN". Mr. Morgan said the statement of Mr. Sherman, who was about to become premier, was ex cathedra. It indicated a purpose to revive the old FrellnKhuyscn treaty with Nicaragua, but Mr. Morgan gave warning that when that treaty came to the Senate It would meet with serious objection unless it fully protected the rights of the American citizens who had secured a concession and had formed a private company. It would be found at that time that there were still men In the Senate determined to protect the rights cf American citizens. Mr. Vilas moved to recommit the b' ' to the committee on foreign relations. "It senator (Morgan) desires it recommitted to the special committee of which he is chairman." added Mr. Vilas, will change my motion." "The senator (himself) has no choice between Insults." responded Mr. Morgan. Aith evident feeling. Mr. Vilas answered that no possible Insult could be meant by the motion he had made and did not believe the Senate would be deterred from doing what it conceived to lie its duty by the suggestion of the senator that It would be an .iffront to him. Mr. Aldrich said the motion to recommit was a plain proposition to kill the bill, and he urged against such a. course.; To te sure, the senator from Ohio (Sherman) had said: "I will negotiate a treaty." Mr. Sherman quickly interposed, saying: I did not sajithat." Mr. Aldrich insisted that the plain meaning of Mr. Sherman's words was that a rrew treaty would be negotiated. But he warned the Ohio senator that serious obstacles were In the way of such a plan and he believed that the death cf the present bill would end the prospect for the execution of the project. Mr. Aldrich said he agreed with the senator from Alabama (Morgan) that it was an insult to refer the bill to another committee and fh consideration of the long and eminent service of the Alabama senator. Mr. Aldrich protested against such a recommittal. Mr. Vilas at once changed Ms motion so that the recommittal, if carried, would be to the committee of which Mr. Morgan is chairman. At this moment Mr. Gorman suddenly dissipated the gathering storm by a motion to adjourn, which prevailed 2S to 27 and the Vilas motion went over.

Much Opposition to Foreman. WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. The main significance of the yea and nay vote of the Senate to adjourn to-day in the face of opposition Is found in the contest over the confirmation of Hon. V. S. Foreman a3 commissioner of internal revenue. Many of the silver senators are opposing favorable action on Mr. Foreman's nomination beeouse of the part he took as a. gold Democratic candidate for Governor of Illinois in opposition to the regular nominee in the last campaign and they have the assistance of a few Republican senators who desire that the ollice should be vacant at the beginning of the next administration. Senator Cullom is friendly to Mr. Foreman's cause and moved an executhe session to-day for the purpose of trying to secure his confirmation. MANY PEOPLE CAUGHT. 100 Ohio 3Iennonite Will Lose from $500 to f 2M) Kacli. YOUNGSTOWN, O.. Jan. 27.-It Is estimated to-day that at least 100 people living between East Lewlston and Columbiana will lose sums ranging from $C00 to $200 each through the failure of the Ohio Lumber and Mining Company, which went under about a month ago. carrying with it the Kasterly l:ank. at Columbiana. This company, composed of members of the Mennonites, a trange religious sect, was incorporated tight years ago, under the laws of Ohio, with a cap'.tal stock of $.7).000. The company bought Zi.i) acres of forest land in Virginia, with tne idea of making and selling railroad ties, but things went from bad to worse until a crash came, and it comes out that this was the strain that broke the lasteriy tianJclast month. The receivers for the bank have quietly taken Judgments for JWw against the Ohio Lumber and Mining Company, and have isued executions against the company and the indorsees, some of whom are among the principal stockholders of the company. Ihe latter, it now apiars, has made application to the secretary of state for recuvers. ATHLETICS AT HARVARD. SlanaRrmrnt of Intercolleslnte Snorts Criticised by President Eliot. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 27. President Eliot's annual report was ma.le pub lic this evening, and, as usual, is replete with interesting data and observations on the progress of the Harvard University the past year. Speaking of athletics. President Eliot says: "The conduct of Intercollegiate sports during this year has proved afresh that tne management or these siorts at Harvard have been tor some years unintel ligent, and. for that reason, unsuccessful. Tne evils of overtraining and excessive exertion on the part of tne members of the principal teams were exhibited in high decree. A fundamental defect in the athletic organization has leen that coaches of limited experience, who may Ik either unob servant or obtuse, can override on the s;ot 1b nrlvlr rtf t Y trilnr unil nh vciliiiu The result: is that the principal players of football are almost all more or less in jured early in the season and are then brought Into practical sanies in a crippled und exhausted condition, while the crew tome to the linal race less capable of endurance than they were a month earlier. The remedies are suliordlnation of coach and expert In training to a medicai ad viser and the general adoption of more reasonable views about all training for athktie sports. , Outside of President Eliot's criticism of athletics perhaps the most striking thing la his report is the g:oving tribute which he pays to Louis Agassiz. It is. in part: "It will be thirty years next September since Louis Agassiz was elected professor in Harvard I'nlverslty. The museum he founded in has developed to an estab lishment which has cost for Its building. equipment and collections more than Jl.tno,WU ami possesses also an Invested endow ment of SMM".). All education in the t'nited States and all American science are under the deepest obligation:) to Agassiz. For the tirst time it is now known who was the giver of the professorship established in the medical school last July in comparative pathology, 'lhe gift was by George F. Fabyan. of Boston, ?lvU;0J being the sum of the endowment. lnlrrxlntr Hall I.enjsne. TOLEDO, O., Jan. 27. President Charles B.

In the Leg islature to-day Representative Sullivan, of Chicago, offered a resolution thanking the Nebraska Legislature for its offer of as sistance to tho suffering poor of Chicago. The farmers of that State propose to donate a largo amount of corn, providing tho railways will transport it. The railroads have not taken any action on the matter. Judging from their action In the past, however, it is probable that the roads would arrange to haul the corn free of charge were a. showing made to them that the cause of humanity required such action on their part. So far they have no facts before them tendinsr to show that there is uny such emergency existing as would warrant th?m in volunteering their services for Its relief in the manner suggested.

Overman & Schraeder's cordage building, adjoining, also caught fire. All the available engines in the city were called out, but the efforts of tho fire-fighters seemed fruitless, for the flames, at 3 o'clock, had crossed Commerce street and attacked the south section of the malt house. Roth buildings were five stories high and filled with stock. At 4 o'clock the fire was well under con trol, the flames having been confined to the malt house and cordage building.

A special to the Commercial Tribune from Key West, Fla., says: A Cuban arrived on the steam ship Olivette to-night 6ays that the Spanish guerrilla leader, Colonel Rotger, was ter ribly beaten Friday near Rosarios in the J southern part of Havana province. False information that fifty insurgents were near there, wounded and ill. Induced him to march there at once with two hundred men. Francisco Base, one of Maceo's men, planned tho ruse and he lay in wait with 250 men one mile from Melena. Here the road was under a high rocky hill. Rase hid his men at the top. As Rotger's men marched into this death-trap they were saluted with a deadly fire of musketry.

THE PRINCESS DK CHI MAY QUARRELS WITH HER GYPSV LOVER, Quit the Hotel at .Milan, Leaving Rlro'm Rill Unpaid, and Flees to Monte Carlo Alone. LONDON, Jan. 2S. A Vienna dispatch to the Daily Mall says that a telegram just received from Milan announces that the Princess De Chlmay. formerly of Detroit, and Janos Rigo, the Hungarian gypsy musician who recently eloped with her, have quarreled violently, lhe screams of rage from the Princess De Chlmay and the forcible language of Rigo disturbed the residents of the hotel where the two were stopping, and they complained to the landlord because of the noise occasioned by the outbursts of passion. At the end of one of these quarrels the Princess De Chimay packed her trunk and quitted the hotel, leaving at once for Monte Carlo. She paid her own bill, but left Rigo's bill unsettled. Rigo is said to be in an awkward position since the departure of the princess, for he Is without funds and has no Immediate prospects of securing employment. THE CZAR'S HEALTH. lluNftiu'M Ruler Worried by rolltleal Matter und Court Intrigue. LONDON, Jan. 2S.-A dispatch to the Telegraph, dated at St. Petersburg last night, says: "Count Vorontsoff Dashkoff, minister of the imperial court, authorizes me to aSirm in emphatic terms that the halth of the Czar is excellent, and that his Majesty receives the government reports daily, takes his usual walks and makes his accustomed visits. Ho has in no way changed his routine of life during the last few weeks. Grand Duke Michael, however, is suffering from a serious attack of inflammation of the lungs, according to the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Telegraph. His eldest son has been hastily summoned from the Caucasus region. The Empress Dowager pays dally visits to Grand Duke Michael, ani it is expected she will continue to do so during his 111A dispatch to the Daily News fronf Berlin, quoting from the St. Petersburg letter to the Lelpseiger Nachrlchten. makes statements which throw additional light upon the troubles of the Czar. This correspondent of the Leipseiger Nachrlchten says that the Czar really suffers from nothing more than an ordinary boil complicated with nervous affection due to the incidents accompanying his accession, court political struggles and numerous intrigues. These disputes are ostensibly over the financial schemes proposed by M. De W Itte. Ruslan minister of finance. Ihis really amounts to a struggle for ascendency between the old Russo party and the Progressionists. So warm was the discussion at a recent council meeting that the Czar broke down entirely, tears gathered in his eyes and he buried his face in his hands and cried: "Do what you like. It is all, the same to me." Frnn an Attaek on Onidurman. LONDON, Jan. 18. A special to the Daily News from Cairo says that the Khalifa Is removing all women, children and valuables from Omdurman, on the Nile, opposite Khartoum, to El Obeid, the chief city of Kordofan, fetrlng the Immediate advance of the Anglo-Egyptian forces. Abu llamld has deserted the main portion of the Berber garrison ani gone to strengthen the fortmcation at Omdurman, which is being strengthened in every way possible. A dispatch to the Times from Rome says that the Italian government has deckled to evacuate Ervthrca, with the possible exception of Masowah. It is reported that this abandonment of the Italian possessions in northeastern Africa will be the chief issue in the approaching elections in Italy. Light Punishment for Murder. BERLIN, Jan. 27.

A Word for the Espenne Fnnd. To the Elitor of the Indianapolis Journal: In a few words, defending the expense fund building associations, I would, as pre liminary, call attention to the fact that each of the articles recently published in our newspapers abusing the system comes from a stockholder who has withdrawn from his association within two years, or before he has been a member long enough to appreciate it benefits. No wail nor abuse comes from members of three, or four years' standing, of whom there are thousands in this State. There arc two sources from which to pay current expenses, from assessment on stock and from general profits. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. With expenses paid from the profits the stockholder Is always certain to receive upon withdrawal as much at least as he has paid into the association. He has the advantage of being able to pay in a few dollars monthly, a deposit which no bank would receive, and receive, on withdrawal, his full amount of deposit, evtn If it bo within three months from lirst payment. But. on the other hand, the system is discriminating. Who is the real sufferer? Certainly not the one who withdraws his stock after six or eight or ten months, and before profits have accrued to it. But the irooa member, the one who stays to matur ity he it is who supports and fosters the association and holds it on us ieet; ne it is who should receive such favors as the as sociation fs able to give. And he it is who must back the association for the accom modation of those short-lived members who use the association for a safety deposit and slip away, under time, and avoid any share of its exnenses. No system of mutual gain and liability is right or just which has not the element of share nnd share alike, and this system has not such element. Expenses for the first year or perhaps two years of the company's existence would necessarily be met with borrowed money, which would have to be repaid at some time, when shareholders joining the company after such expenses were made will be expected to aid in defraving such indebtedness by drawing on their profits, making such a system unequal from the beginning. Then, the expense fund. Many are horrified when the expense fund is mentioned, unless in the most bitter terms. Yet there must be some good in a system which has operated so successfully and given homes to 3J.00 families within this State alone. The complaint brought against the expense-fund system is that withdrawing members are made to suner. Is it true? The distinguishing characteris tic of building and loan associations is that of mutual interest Euch shareholder agrees and expects to continue his stock in the company until accrued profits shall have matured it. or upon withdrawal before such time to make such forfeitures ns to cover his pro rata of extense during the time his stock remained in force. Under an organization of this kind withdrawing members cannot claim to l-e unjustly treat ed. Expenses being primary rather than Incidental, must be met when Incurred, from the inception of the business, and in case such member withdraws before his protits shall have made up the expense as sessment, he cannot reasonably complain. As compared with the "expense-from-prof Its" system, the expense-fund system is direct, equable and fair. The earnings are as large. Excess of expense fund is turned to loan fund and increases active capital. In creased dividends, from undisturbed profits. offset assessed principal. Expenses are met as soon as they accrue, without any temjpo-

rary loan to harass subsequent subscribers. And. lastly, every share of stock held shares the expenses and profits of the as--sociatlon. like and like. Kach share bears Its pro rata of expense for every month It remains in force. And this system would be abandoned and replaced by that of "expense from profits." that the pernicious associations, run for benefit of officers, may be supplanted by honest associations run for benelit of stockholders. It Is hard to see how such change will remedy the evil of exorbitant expenses. Dishonest and seltlsh olhcials of our large associations, can draw as heavily from a profit account as from an expense fund. If such extravagance Is to be controlled, let It be by a direct vote at th? vital spot. Prohibit the system of proprietary contracts. Strike at the large commissions of managing officials. Compel associations to set out and specifically name all salaried officers and their salaries.

JISTICISS I-TII.I3It ASD nitmvER TO RUPltUSK.VT THIS COUXTRV On the Tribunal That In to Fix the Boundary Line Iletween Venezuela nnd British Guianu. NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-A dispatch to the World from Washington says: Melville W. Fuller, chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, and David Brewer, associate justice, have been nominated as commissioners to serve on the arbitration tribunal appointed to determine the boundary line between Venezuela and British Guiana, The Supreme Court at a formal meeting has officially agreed on these selections. The nomination of Chief Justice Fuller was made subject to the approval of Venezuela, as is provided by an amendment to the original agreement. President Crespo and his Cabinet have signified their acceptance of Mr. Fuller. During the final work on tho treaty under which the arbitration will be conducted It was decided to insert the names of the commission in order that the work of ex pediting organization and the transaction of business might be hastened. The second article of tho agreement provides that two members of the tribunal shall be nominated by the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, and two members by the British High Court of Justice. A clause provides that judges of either nominating court must bo selected as commissioners. The Supreme Court was requested to designate its nominees in advance of the conclusion of the treaty, and before Its submission to the Venezuelan congress. Chief Justice Fuller and Associate Justice Brewer were named by .their judicial colleagues. While the formal assent of King Oscar to serve as the fifth arbitrator has not been given, it is understood that an intimation has been received that he will accept. All indications point to the nomination by the British High Ccirt of Sir Charles Rus sell and Sir Franklin Lockwood as the two members to be chosen by that body to complete tho tribunal. The actual signing of the treaty will oc cur In a few days. The necessity for haste has been averted by the fact that a special session of the Venezuelan Congress was not called. That body will not convene until Feb. 20. The next steamer for Laguayra will sail Feb. 2, and will take the treaty to Caracas. LYMAN ABBOTT CENSURED. Hln Teachings Condemned by Brother Divine of Greater 3ew York. NEW YORK, Jan. 27. At a meeting to day of the Manhattan Congregational As sociation, In the South Congregational Church. Brooklyn, the ministers strongly disapproved of Dr. Lyman Abbott's state ments mado in a series of Sunday evening sermons in Plymouth Church that certain books of the Bible might properly be re garded as works of fiction. The Rev. Thomas B. McLcod, of the Clinton-avenue Church, introduced a resolution censuring Dr. Abbott for departing from th ortho dox teaching or exemplification of the Bible. The resolution recited that tho views of Dr. Abbott were in direct opposition to the views of the Congregational Church and continued: "The Manhattan Associa tion, fearing that its silence would be ac cepted by the uninformed as an indorse ment or these views, do declare an emphatic dissent from such handling of the Holy Scriptures and deplore the probable effect of such teachings. y The Rev. Dr. Miles attempted to add an amendment that the name of the clergy man referred to be inserted in the resolu tion, but ufter a short discussion his mo tion was lost. A discussion followed, which was participated in by Rev. Dr. Stimson. of this city, and the Revs. Lyman and others, of Brooklyn, who spoke against Dr. Abbott. 1 he motion was adopted by a vote or 4o to ;. SCORED THE POLICE. Itev. 3Ir. Smnll Also Pnld Kespcctn to .Mayor Taggurt. The largest crowd of the week was in Y. M. C. A. Hall last night to hear Rev. Sam Small talk about "Sin" and prove that it la not necessary that men should sin. The sermon was not only rich in character istic illustrations and amusing anecdotal picturss, but at times Mr. Small produced strong sensatlo is among the auditors. When he was referring to the saloon evil he declared that "no man of intelligence In America who has ever read of Indiana polltics or come in smelling distance of Indi anapolis believes that the political interests of Mayor Tagart are in harmony with the sentimen's ot those who believe in a strict. honest enforcement ot tne saloon laws." "So far as Superintendent Colbert is con cerned in the matter he may be tho best man in town for the purposes that put him in his ollice, but I have this much to say of him that if he does not know that the saloons by platoons are violating the law every Sabbath and almost nightly and he professes inability to prevent these law less deeds, then he is not fit to superintend a herd of hogs, much less to control the police affairs of a great American capital citv like Indianapolis." These references caned for the applause of the congregation and expressions of gen eral approval. Many persons declared at the close of the meeting for a better loyal ty to the Commandments.

NEEDS OF PRISON NORTH

A COLLECTION OF DILAPIDATED AND RICKETY Dl'ILDINSS. PrUon Itvclf In In Good Condition, hut Money In Needed if It n to He 3Inde n Modern Institution. All that the officers of the Prison North have said In other official reports regard ing the antiquated and dilapidated condition of its buildings is true. There probably is not a penitentiary in the North In which S50 men are confined so out of date and in so general a condition of dilapidation. The buildings which are. not old were so poorly constructed that they must be pulled down. The cellhouscs were built in and 1S77. The cells can be made comfortable for one man in each with some expenditure for ventilation and heating. The steam, heating is worn out. All the pipes leak and are fitted up so that they cannot convey heat. The water used to make steam Is as bad as could be found for such uses. It is an Iron destroyer. Iast Saturday the men huddled about a few large stoves on the lower floor to keep themselves warm. The roof was probably good at one time, but now parts of it are like a coarse strainer. These buildings can be ventilated by the use of fans to drive hot air into them in winter and pure air in summer and the sanitary conditions could be made good if water were brought from the lake. The cellhouses, however, are the best buildings in use for the prisoners. The w'orst of these was built in 1S93, less than four years ago. It has been condemned. Its walls are bulged out and its floors shake. It Is liable to fall any day. And yet this building is so important that the prison can scarcely be run without it. Under Its roof is the dining room, the cook rooms, storage of food, the chapel, and. strange to say, the hospital. The building was constructed without the aid of an architect and without a real plan. An architect's services would have cost 5300 or 4i0. An ex-convict, a mechanic, was employed to save that amount, and now J25.WJ worth of buildings must be taken down if they do not anticipate the action of the Legis lature by falling down. Whatever else is done, tho replacing of this building seems ejsential, and when the new building is planned may the architect see the absurdity of placing the hospital over the rooms in which tho food of 850 men Is cooked, to be filled with the penetrating odors of cab bage and onions. Possibly a cunning econ omy caused this present association of the sickness and the cuisine of the prison the smells of cooking food sustaining the sick and the thought of the sick hindering: the boarders from overeating. THE WATER SUPPLY. The water is bad. All of It comes from wells sunk into the sand or from artesian wells. The water of the latter has an odor compared with which sewer gas is pleas ant. Dr. Hurty has declared the water about as bad as water could be. Still, pf convicts, not over twenty-five are in the hospital. Thus does sound health, plain food and moderate employment resist tiie alleged pestilence whicn 13 aaibushed In water and proclaims itself in defective drainage and ventilation. Next to the re building of the falling building of 1W3, the introduction of pure water from the lake Is the greatest need of the prison. It is estimated that It will cost $15,000 to give tho piison a full supply of pure water from L.ake Michigan. The drainage system of the prison is srood. and can be made the best without much expenditure. Most of the workshops are In a dilapi dated condition. The roofs are broken and the Uoors are in decay. Still, most of them can be utilized because of the patching of past years. The warden's house is an aggregation of old buifUings, a part of which is said to have once been a stable. The roofs leak and the exterior is not creditable to the State. But. lest this re mark should be misunderstood. It may be well to say that palaces, sumptuously furnished, should not be provided for officers in charge of the State's penal Institutions. Those who have visited some of the hos pitals and who have examined some of the bills for the furnishing of superintend ents' and wardens' houses have expressed astonishment at the high price paid for articles of luxury. During the past year a house was built for the deputy warden. It has been given out that it cost $10,000: as a matter of fan the cost was $3,(N.40. This is a moderate cost compared with the expendturo for officers' buildinsrs in some other institutions. Large and elegantly furnished houses are not needed. The warden should have a house; it is not probable that Mr. Harley desires a mansion. CONDITION OF THE PRISON. The prison seems to be in an. excellent condition. Mr. Harley is proving a capable warden, and that mean3 very much In a prison. The discipline appears to be excel lent, and is maintained without severe punishment. Citizens who have been Interested In the prison for years say that the food given the men was never so good as now. despite the small cost. The priscn is on a paying basis, and yet much nore could be done both for the State and the prison ers If there were better facilities. A large part or tne convicts cannot read or write; many desire to be taught, hut the wretched schoolroom can only accommodate forty at one time, while the chapel cannot now be used because it is dangerous. To make a modern and comfortable pris on at Michigan City would require a. large sum ot money, one of ex-CJovernor Mat thews's trustees says that $2XUjw is needfd to make, the Prison North a modern institution. That the Legislature cannot give. Even if it voted the money it could not be expended in two years. While the convicts are in tho prison the work must go on. part at a time, so that only a part of tho amount needed can b. expended in ore or two years. The two pressing demands are the rebuilding of the general building that has been Condemned and the supplying of tho prison -with pure water from the lake. The warden should have a house costing, when furnished, about $o,(x). The other repairs can go on ns thev are most needed, but before the Prison North shall be put upon a fair footing, as much money as the officers have suggested seems to Le necessary. AMUSEMENTS.

The programme will surely le interesting, including old-time melodies, buck and wing dancing, pastimes of the colored people during slavery times, cake walking, etc. Commencing Monday matinee and for one wetk the popular Irwin brothers will 1h the attraction at the Kmplre. "The Juokiins." from the character stand point, is undoubtedly Opie Heed's greatest work. No Ftage character which Itobson had made Is promised a longer life than that of Icmuel Jucklin. the tender-hearted Tennessee farmer, who llmls solace for his IV a in the coop with his game roosters. This is saying a great deal, when Ilertie, the lamb, is reinemlertl. The many who have road the lnk of "The Jucklins" remember vividly the mother who rends her Kihle for comfort and the sweet-faced daughter who bears uncomplainingly the ycke of blighted troth, placed an her shoulders by her father. Old General Lunsford, a remnant of bei'ore-the-war das, and the Northern telegraph operator, who Is filled with the go-ahcadlsm of his State, show in strong contrast with Mher delightful drt-amy characters f the Mag vision, which permeate the play as they do the book. "The Jucklins" in dramatic form is. ut any rate, the greatest vehicleStewart ltobi-on has had Jn years. In Iemuel Jucklin he has a character admirably adapted to his peculiar talents, and his Sunday-afternoon roost r light Is one of the funniest stae bits of the year. The story of the play t!:robs with human interest, and is racy of the soil of Tennessee. "The Jucklins" will open Mr. Uobson's engagement at the Grand to-ni'ht and will be seen to-morrow night and at the Saturday matinee. On Saturday night Mr. itobson and Mine.
