I, Question of Presidential RemsulSp

rih Inconsistency of the Vermont Senator Shown Up An Intlianian Resigns His v Office Untier the Government General and Persoaal. Special to the Sentinel. "Va8hiivto3, March 12. By far the best rreech made ia the jrreat political, debate V no- going cn in the United States Senate wns made to-d3y by SenatoT Kenna, of West Virginia, the youngest member of the body. He began promptly at 2 o'clock. The galleries were uncomfortably crowded, and nearly ; all the available space cn the floor was taten tip by members of the Iloase of Reprcsenta- - tives and others, who availed themselves of the privilege of entering the chamber. In .the pew reserved for the Executive household sat Miss Cleveland, accompanied by two lady friends and a young gentleman. The "West Virginia Senator commenced by reading from the Record extracts of Edmunds' argument delivered a few

J days since, after which he proceeded

iu a ueuueraie eiyie iiu uis iui,uiiiimu Figuratively speaking, he wiped the floor with the Vermont Senator, when he End-, -denly dropped hira and toot Senator Sherman, who was in the presiding officer's chair, by the ears, and like Edmunds, conTicted him of being inconsistent, lis would at times leave one and go to the other, and

( then again r? would pay Ins respect? to them both together. He sent a merited J thrust to the occupant of the White House I in the first part of the speech by saying that the election of G rover Cleveland a year ajt as not on account of the man, but that it moar.t that the Marshals, the Collectors, the

Ministers, the Consuls and the Postmasters should all go, and turning to his Democratic colleagues he exclaimed, bringing his fist . down on his desk, "They ought to go." He ) defended the position of the Administration with precedents which he freiuently quoted . from a wheelbarrow load of books that lay on the desk before him. lie had ransacked the records of the Government from 1793 down to the present day. lie quoted from Washington, from Jackson, from Jeflerson, from Tyler, and all of Mr. Cleveland's predecessors, including Grant and Hayes, and each quotation was a home tlrast to the Republican Senators. When he sent to the the Clerk to be read for the first time a letter written by John Sherman, as Secretary of the Treasury, peremptorily refusing a request made by Koscoe Conküng, a3 Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, for the reasons prompting the Hayes administration, for the removal of Chester A. Arth ar as Collector of Customs in New York, one could almost see cold chill creeping up the backs of the Republican Senators, so deliberate was this point made. Kenna paid his respects to Logan by reading an amendment proposed by the Illinois Senator 'years ago to a bill providing for the 'repeal of the tenure of office act, declaring all offices vacant except Judjre, so that Grant could make a dean sweep. He wade Edmunds turn crimson by quoting copiously from Blaine's book extracts which are in direct opposition to his position, and from these extracts he convicted Edmunds of in consistency. The latter sat in his seat and it was not difficult to see that he was quaking under the scathing but dignified denunciation that the young Senator was hurling at his head. Jackson, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said this evening that he Lad intended to make a speech, but since Kenna s masterly effort he was willing to lat the controversy rest where it now is. Logan for President. Special to the ScntineL. Washisgtok, March 13. If the opinion of the politicians who make Washington their headquarters during the sessions of Congress could prevail at the next Republican National Convention John A. Logan would be the candidate of the party. He has undoubtedly gained strength among the leaders, some of whon have hitherto been aocustomed to sneer at his pretensions to the Presidency. Two houses have attained distinction ia different spheres during the present winter. That of Secretary Whitney has been marked or a profusion cf expenditure and hospitality never before witnessed in Washington. Secretary Fish was noted in his service as the head of the Department of State for unusual liberality as a host. His annual outlay was believed to exceed bis salary four or tive fold.

I irat air. w mtney paid more tnan that ae-

gregate merely for improvements in the bouse he occupies as a tenant, with a coaI dition in the lease by which he may become a future purchaser. This large item was the mrio LtegixiBuig ox entertainments on ine most elegant and sumptuous scale, which have won admiration from the society, of Washington. General Logan's house has been the resort of public men, politicians and their fa nilies. Mrs. Logan is distinguished for great address, tact, and generous character, and is eminently skillful In management. In fact, her hubband is largely indebted to these qualities of hers for his success at the last Senatorial election and for his present promJsecce. Mrs. Logan has drawn around her litany attractive friends, so Jhat her receptions Lave net only been popular, but they had the advantage of being conducted at very email expense. I he guests came not to tbow their finery, nor for what they might eat or drink, but for the pleasure of social contact n.nder a roof where the humblest were made equally welcome with the hfghcsf. The advocaV ol General Logan depend , mainly on hia record as a volunteer aoldier, 'exacting to rally that element to his sup-

I -fort, and to drav consiaeraoiy irom me TcaocratB who eryVJ volunteers la the

civil war. He has distinctly and emphatically thrust aside all advances made to him fcr "the old ticket," which the friends of Blaine have pressed recently with fresh zeal. General Logan has stated in the most positive way that under no condition would he consent to take a nomination for the second place with Mr. Blaine or with any other candidate who may be nominated. He affects no concealment about being an aspirant himself for the first place, and he does not, intend to be passive in his ambition, with the delusion that a nomination may come to him unsonght. General Logan has h.ad too much experience in politics not to know that conventions are controlled by work, skill, management and money. Holts the Caaroi. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, March 13 Senator Teller, of Colorado, has bolted the Republican caucus. He did it in a somewhat dramatic way, picking up his hat and leaving his colleagues With the declaration that they need not expect him in the future to be bound hy the action of his party colleagues either in the fight against the administration or with reference to tnything else. This action on the part of the Senator is the outcome of his controversy with Dement, At the last Republican Senatorial gathering Dement, who is a warm personal friend of Logan, was confirmed in Teller's absence for the position of Surveyor General of Utah. When Teller ascertained this fact be said it

was well known that Dement had made slanderous accusations against him which he had been unable to substantiate, and asked injustice to himself that tome one of the Bepublican Senators who had voted for the confirmation to move to reconsider. No one evinced a willingness to comply with this request, and Tellci left the caucus. It is understood there are two other Republican Senators who are protesting vigorously at most similar treatment and Cüses of their own, and this is what gives Teller's action its importance in view of the existing snarled up condition U the upper legislative body. The ydmuod Resolution. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, March 15. It is with many quite generally believed that the contest between the President and the Senate will reach a solution this week. As has before been named in these dispatches, it is the un derstending that there are Republican Sen ators who will vote nsrainst the Edmunds resolution and go with the Democrats in support of the position taken by the Pres ident. Republican Senaters who are not with Edmunds are naturally timid upon the question and are saying nothing, though at the fame time supposed to be keeping up a wonderful thinking. Mr. Edmunds and his followers are by no means certain they will be able to carry the day. In fact, they entertain very grave fears upon the subject. Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, is perhaps the most outspoken of the Republicans in opposition to the reso lution. Senator Sawyer, of the same State, is regarded as with the Democrats. McMil lan, of Minnesota, is doubtful, and it is gen erally believed Mitchell, of Oregon, is with the President. Teller, of Colorado, has sympathies with the Democrats and many think he will vote with them, though this is doubtful. If love-sick Senator Jones, of Florida, could but give up his courtship in Detroit and re turn in time to record his vote, the Demo crats can, with possible Republican strength, win the fight.Speaking of Jones reminds one what Senator Call, his colleague, said of him the other day. In answer to an interrogatory, Call said of Jones: "Oh! the fellow is crazy the result of 'women, wine and song.' " Report has it that the love sick Senator will return to the Senate by the first prox imo, though this is questioned by many of his Senatorial and Florida friends. It is a settled fact that he can not get the girl, and his vigorous campaign in the face of as serted defeat is what appears to be good evi dence of insanity. His friends in the Sonate say if he will return at once bo questions will be asked. Representative Hahn. , Special to the Sentinel. Washington, March 15. Senator Cull urn, Of Illinois, intended to have spoken to-day on the fight between the Senate and the President. But for the death of Representative Hahn he would. The Senate adjourned out of respect to the Louisiana member. The death of Mr. Hahn is the third death in the House this session. Elwood, of Illinois, and Rankin of Wisconsin, were the two prepreceding. Hahn was once Governor of Louisiana, and during the war was in Congress for fourteen days. He had the most extensive history f printed in the Congressional directory and if that is evidence of a great man, Hahn was the first in the House. He was the only Representative in the Louisiana delegation. General and Personal. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, March 15. Representative Bynum will, on to-morrow, introduce in the House a bill authorising an increase of pension for the widow of General Canby, the gallant officer who was killed by the Modoc Indians. Mrs. Canby's pension is now but 50 per month, and in view of the fact that she has persons depending upon her for support, and among them an unmarried sister of the General, it is thought bnt proper and right the amount should be increased to $100 per month. As yet Senator Harrison hai not introduced in the Senate the bill granting to the widow of the late Vice President Hendricks the salary for the unexpired term, Representative Bynum will introduce the bill in the House to-morrow granting to Mrs. Hendricks the remainder of the salary. Colonel Forev, of Connersville, was sworn into cilice to-day, and will enter upon his duties at on re. He has ken assigned to duty in Illinois. Judge Stabcnbury, of New Albany, is here, the guest of Representative Howard. Joseph Barton, of Delphi, nerved three

years in the war, but through some errors his name was never placed uoon the

pay-rolls, consequently he was never paid anything for his services. Representative Owen has a bill proposed, which he will introduce to-raor-row, giving Burton the three yearr's salary due him. His papers show an honorable discharge, and the records in the War Department bear testimony to his having been a good soldier. The matter has been before Congress in the past, but nothiDg was ever done with it. Mr. Owen thinks the present Congress is willing to do the square thing by the soldier, and believes he can put the claim of Burton through with little oi no opposition. Colonel J. H. Rice leaves for home to-morrow afternoon. NATIONAL AFFAIRS. The American nog Presidential Nomina. tions Miscellaneous. Washington, March 15. Representative Phelpc, of New Jersey, will, under the call of States, to-morrow, present a memorial from the New Jersey State Board of Agriculture praying Congress to make diligent investigation into the reasons why American pork is absolutely excluded from Germany. Austria and other countries. The memorial reads as follows: Whereas, The extreme low price of pork (which is one oi the largest crop of the American fruicr) in seriously aßecting the profits of agriculture in this country, and Whereas, The 1'resiilent in his recent message to Congress, says: -I regret to say tnut the reurio'ioij upou the importation of our pork lato Frame continues, notwitbstandiDg the ab-jn-Unt lemoEMration cf the absence of any sanitary langer in its use, but 1 entertain strong hopes thr.t with abetter understanding of the matter this vexatious prohibition will be removed. It would be plfasing to sav as much with respect to ticrniany, Austria ard other countries where suvb food products are absolutely exclu-led without presenting prosect9 of a change," and rereaa. The President does not in his message give the infernmtion as to the reasons w hy Aruerian jerk is absolutely excluded in Germany, Austria, and otl.er countries; therefore llrsolved. That the State Board oi Atrriculture of New Jersey hereby rennest our Representatives in Congress to make diligent investigation iuto ibiK matter, and endeaver to secure chants as may be r.tcesary to relieve this important industry Jrom the restrictions now imposed upou it by other countries. In connection with this memorial Mr. Phelps will otfer the following resolution : Resolved, That the Secretary of State be, and is hereby requested to transmit, if not incompatible with public interests, copies of all corre-epoudeuc-e between his department and the representatives of France, Germany, Austria and any other Kuroiaa couutrr which has partially or entirely restricted the Importation of American jKrk, referring to the facts of such exclusion or iutriction, and the reasons given therefor. rr.ESlDEXTIAL NOMINATIONS. The President sent to the Senate the following nominations to-day: Richard M. Stadden, to be Consul at Manzanilla; Louis llliam Attel, of l'ennsylvania. to be an Assistant Surgeon in the navy; Zephiniah Q. Hill, to be Marshal of the United Sutes for the District of Colorado.

This morning the fireman at Willard's Hotel went to the room occupied by Mr. Hahn, of Louisiana, at C o'clock to attend to the fiie. He was shocked upon finding Mr. Hahn stretched upon the floor dead, m a tool of blood. The heightened hremcn nastily fled from the room and reported to the hotel office that Mr. Hahn had cut hie throat and killed himself. The hotel employes had the door of the room secured and" at once sent for the Coroner. The Coroner soon appeared and Dr. Bliss made an examination which showed that death resulted from hemorrhage of the lungs. Mr. Hahn, who was a man of delicate physique, had been ill for some time with a lung trouble and was under treatment by Dr. Bliss. An autopsy showed that death resulted from the rupture of a Llood vessel near the heart, produced, it is believed, by exceseive coughing. The remains will leave here at 5 o'clock to-morrow afternoon for New Orleans. Representatives St. Martin, Irion, Ellsbury, Doraey and McComas have been selected to attend the funeral. Michael Hahn was born in Bavaria. November 24, 1830, but came to this country with his mother when an iDfant, landing in New York. Went to iNew Orleans, where he studied law. He was a Douglas Democrat and made anti-secession -peeche. He waa active in the reconstruction of the State after the arrival of the Union forces, and was elected to Congress in 1&62. He was appointed Prize Commissioner of New Orleans after hi Congressional term expired. In the True Delta, of which be was editor, he advocated emancipation. He was the first Governor of Louisiana as a free State, inaugurated March 4, is4, and was also appointed Military Governor by ITeaident Lincoln. lie wan elected to the United States .Senate and in 1!C5 resigued as Governor, but did not take his seat He was wounded in the Mechanic's Institute riot July 30, 1866, althoug only a spectator. The next year he became editor and manager of the New Orleans Republican. In 1871 he removed to his sugar plantation and laid out the town of Uahnville. He was appointed State Register of voters In IfeTfi, and Superintendent oi the New Orlevns mint is 1878. From 1879 to 15 he was Jndge ot the district comprising the parishes of Jeflerson, S-L Charles and Kt. John, resigning to take his seat in Co egress last March, . A BRAZILIAN WAR EHIP. Major Hill, Commissioner of the three Americas' Exposition? haa received ;the following letter from United States Consul General H. Clay Armstrong, dated Rio De Janero, February 12: My Pear Sir The lAlmirante JBarriso, a Brazilian war rhlp (so named In honor of an ofticer distinguished in the Parangyan war), will sail from thia port for New Orleans" on the 'Oth inst , having been prevented by unavoidable delay from carrying out the original intention of a much earlier departure. She is now making extensive preparation to that end. She is a Brazilian product, having been built in the cjoveraruent yard here, and none save HrRzillun ni i terial entering into her construction. She is a fine vessel, and would do honor to tne naval armament of any great Kiropean power. The "Contro de Commercio e Kavoura" has forwarded collections of Brazilian products on the steamers Hnmboldt, 1 balc ami Hipparchnse, which left here January l'j. the Ctn lust., Mid to-day respectively. These collections will no doubt constitute an Interesting center piece for Portuguese-American day at the Exposition, but, ts you can readtly see. the celebration will pair vastly in importm e aud impressiveness by the presence of this rnH?ni(icent home made man-of-war. As it will tnke the Almirante ILtrraxo some thirty days to reach Orleans, Minister Jarvis and myself have decided to telegraph you, asking that you inJuce the management to change Brazilian day to a later day than that now fixed. N. 1!. hince writing the above I am lenuested by the commander of the Almirante B&rriso to say that it would be extremely gratifying to his Government If lirazilian day could te fixed for April 7 (seventh of April), that being a naUonal holiday. f The issue of Etandard dollars from the mint during the week ended March 13, was $111,780. The issue during the corresponding period of last year was $208,097. The shipments of fractional silver coin since May 1 amounts to $107,089.

GREATEST ON RECORD.

Terrific Slugging Match Between Notod Brüsers at Rye, New York, Yesterday. Jack Dempsey, of New York City J n Thirteen Desperate Rounds, Completely "Knocks Oat of Time" His Antagonist, George Iblanrh, of Boston. New York, March 14. What those who witnessed the encounter designate as the greatest middle-weight fight on record was fought at 7 o'clock this morning at Rye, just on the border line between New York and Connecticut The contestants were George Lt blanch, of Boston, Mass., and Jack Dampsey, of New York. The stakes were $1,000 a side and about $2.000 of a purse made up by certain gentlemen of this city. Jack Dampsey was the winner, thirteen desperate rounds being bitterly contested, and it is declared that a better and more manfully fought light Tas never witnessed. There were about forty persons present, includinc . twenty-eight members of the New York Racquet Club. The chief difficulty experienced by the managers of this fight was to hoodwink those who were watching for it, and the "toughs," who were -bent on being present to mar the fairness of the operations. In this they succeeded. In th? first pltce, the men were put on board a large propeller, which proceeded far up the North River, and then took the remainder of the guests on board and steamed for the battle-ground, about twenty-live miles away, which was reached in good eaon. The two principals stopped for a few hours and the gentlemen amused themselves as best they could on board the steamer. The ring was pitched promptly and those present f tood around it. The two gladiators stripped and were rubbed down hefore the spectators, and the Marine, ai Lablanch is called, put on a pair of blue tights and dark fitting shoes. His stockings were i oiled dowD, leaving hi calves br.re; Jack Dempsey wore his dark hos-e and white gaiters. A better lookirg man than the Marine it woultl have been bard to find. He was not quit J as tall as Jack Dempsey, but he weijcLafew pounds more. He turned the beam at 14S?4 pound?. Dempsey's weight was Hy. John O'Neil was chosen referee, and two well-dressed swells were the timekepera. One of the best known members of an eastern athletic club made the following brief rpeech to the men: "You will fieht ncrording to the Marquis of Qaecnsbüry rules, with light gloves; you will break at the call of the releree; make no noise, and fo to your corners when either of you kuocks the other down and wait until the referee decides whether the fallen man is done up or not. Now then, shake hands." Then the principals and their seconds formed or. more properly speaking, attempted to form the Maltese cress. They failed to do so because Tom Boguc, one of the seconds for the Marine, did not reach the outstretched hand of Tom Cieary, Dempcy's first second. Tutbill was number two for Dempsey, and Patsey Sheppard number two for the Marine. The men went back to their corners, and after donning their light gloves wer summoned to the fray by the referee witirlhese words- "Are you ready? Time!" Round 1 The men faced each other coolly and determinedly,Dempsey standing remarkably high above his adversary, who was compact, lithe and resolutely bent on being the aggressor. The Marine tried a little one with his right, landing on Dempsey's breast. This was not very effective, but it was swiftly followed by another with his right on the ribs, and still another with his left full on Dempsey's breast, which sent him back against the ropes. Then I)emp8Py shifted round and tried to change the Marine's tactics with feints with left, which, however, did not check the advance of Leblanch until Dempsey succeeded in putting hi a stinger on his antagonist's neck. This stopped him for an instant, then seemed to anger Lim, and gathering himself together, he went for Dempsey with both hands straight, and, vigorously landing bis right on the New Yorker's ribs, made a serious abrasion of the skin. Time was called, and the men went to their corners amid a quietude that was simply phenomenal. Round 2 The Marine waup briskly and started in to torce tha fighting. He looked and felt confident. Dempsey smiled, as of old, and came iauntily to the scratch. The Manne was bent upon effective work, and pushed his man against the ropes, administering several body blows, which were always countered by Dempsey with his left. This round ended in nobody'i favor. Indeed, it was said that "it was anybody's fight," with a slight upward tendency in the marine's stock. Round 3 The Marine was again lively On the scratch. He commenced fighting at once. His object was evidently to drive Dempsey into a corner and punish him at short-arm distance. He was partially successful. Demsey became very shifty, and, like a clever goer, began to play for the marine's eyes, in the hope of blinding him. In the course of this round Dempsey proved himself a marvellous boxer, a great, tactician, and a thoroughly game fellow. The Marine dropped his head in an attempt to deliver his right on Dempsey's jugular, but was short, and caught a severe upper cut in the face, which drew blood from his nose, and first blood was claimed and allowed Round 4 The Marine was verv strong and very aggressive, but could not get home his right on Dempsey's neck. He forced the fighting and tried hard to do his man. He hit Dempsey several times on the body and, finally, they clinched at the ropesj and broke at the referee's order. Dempsey got in a few Etraight left-handers on Leblanch's face, and raised a very large sized house on his rieht eye. Round 5 Dpmpsey and Leblanch came together like two prairie bußalos. It was give and take, and at the close it was seen that the Marine had a very bad cut on hi) left cheek bone, from which the blood streamed down over his breast. Time was called and both men went to their corners. Rounds f. 7 and 8 were characterized by snch close fighting that it was almost impossible to tell just how it would all end. The Marine's face was swollen and bleeding copiously. He spat oat a tooth or two, which showed Jack Dempy's remarkable skill with his left hand. The latter's body was badly bruised. Round 9 This was another rally with terrible give and lake fighting. Round 10 In this, after hardhitting, the Marine and Dempsey clinched. The referee shouted "break." The Marine dropped his hands in obedience, and received a stunning knock down blow from Dempsey. Foul was claimed but not allowed. Round 11 In this round Dempsey came up ft trifle fresher than the Marine, and began forcing the fighting. He was met half way by the Marine, but the New Worker's terrible left kept visiting the Bostonians face like a piston-rod, doing awfnl execution. BlOOu flowed freelv from the Marine, who. never theless, fought back gt.mely and wickedly I I ' . I L.lt. A . 1 1 ! T"V a . W, n.A - wiui uoui naau?, punismng jjeiupscr uv

than he ever was punished before in his career in the rin,?. Time was called, and the men went to their corners looking badly. Dempsey's body was covered with abrasions and his face was marked here and there. Round 12 Again the men came toge.uer in dead earnest. It was give and take; both very btrong and very game, but Dempsey's terrible loft worked "fatally on the countenance of nis adversary. Round 13 The Marine came came up again, dashed tamely at Dempsey, who hitched in now for dear life, for he felt that the crisis had been reached. The Marine was bleeding like a stuck pig. and Jack was pulling and blowing badly. They both then got to work at half arm distance, and never stopped punishing each other until the Marine dropped exhausted. Dempsey went to his corner showing the signs of the terrible punishment he had received, and the Marice strove to get to his feet, but he could rot rise. He was practically, if not literals, knocked out. So when the referee called "time," lie could not respond. He did get up and hurling himself gamely at Dem i sey, fell powerless into the latter's arms, and was assisted mercifully by the plucky Ne.W Yorker to bis chair in his corner. He was a beaten man, and the seconds gave it up. TLen the referee announced Jack De;npECy the victor, and the spectators received it in silence. Time, M minutes. Greater stamina, or a pluckier and fa'rer fight was never witnessed in this country, and two gamer men never fared each other in a twenty-four foot ring. The Marine sat in his chair bleeding, battered and bruised, and when asked if he was hurt, said faintly: "I am hurt, Dick; but it was a square fight." Dempsey said: "Well, ! won; but you can bet I was hit hard." Five minutes after the fight was over the principals and tpectators had dispersed, and nothing was left to tell of the great event but a few blood stains on the floor and the strong odor of tobacco fames which pervaded the atmosphere. Leblanch was taken away in a carriage, and, it is said, went on to lioston. The victorious Dempsey, whose slightly swollen and discolored face and cut lip were the only indications that he bore of the famous encounter, was taken aboard a tne-boat and was the center of a congratulatory crowd all the wav to Hunter's Point, where he and his friends were landed at noon. He met with a demonstrative reception at the various saloons at which be stopved. It was a notable feature that the most notable men in sporting circles were left out in the cold and did not get the correct tip. Even the old-time sporting news rejorters were sent astray after forty-eight hours wild-goose chasing over Long Island and V"est Chester County. As to the fight, it was a good one. and the gamest any one present had ever witnessed.

HORRIBLE BRUTALITIES Tractired on Inmates cf the Toledo House of Refuge. Clevklasp, 0., March 14. Miss Blanche M. Garvin resumed her testimony yesterday morning before the Legislative Committee investigating the Toledo House of Refuge. She recited numerous cases of cruelty to boys, and told how a little fellow named Vizzard had been cruelly beaten by an attendant named Weston. She reported Weston to the McDonalds and to the Directors, but he remained there for six weeks afterward, and then quit of his own volition. A. C. Britton, aged twenty-one, and now holding a rood petition in this-city, wa for merly an inmate of the Refuge, and for seme time had charge of the laundry. He told of many cases of brutality. A boy named Ovington, aged sixteen, was cut from head to foot by a strap in the hands of McDonald. I was whipped myself by George 11. l oulson, and bear the marks to this day. 1 was punished, but justly. Again, Mayer whipjed rue most severely for losing my rlace in the school -room. On June 21, l.ssi, was whipped again. That day some of the boys attempted to escape. Some money was reported stolen. Two boys were whipped, and one of them confessed to the oiiense. The boy who confessed said he left t ho money in his vest in my drying room, when 1 was alone in there, with another boy guarding me. It was not found there. McJ onald demanded the money of me. I cou id not give it, because I did not have it. McDanald and Norton took the other two bo 7s and myself to the stock room at 10 o'clock in the morning, and strapped us continually until 12:30. I was whipped five times at that time, McDonald and Norton taking turns and giving me seventy-five lashes each time. Once Norton strapped me in the dormitory, while I was naked and preparing to bathe. I bled considerably. The next afternoon I was punished again by McDonald and Norton, and the wounds opened again. I think I was whipped seventy-five Times while I was in the Refuge. I know that Norwalk was whipped by McDonald and Norton until bis flesh was filled with holes, which ultimately turned to fever sores. Joe Kimban received a very severe punishment. His skin was broken in many places. John Davis was whipped until there were wide, open cuts on nis legs. Tne boy Llewellyn was whipped four and five times a day. John ßtoner has received as high as six and seven strappings a day. John Fell was whipped every day for a week for a single offense, until his body was all bruised up. Vizzard, a very weak, nervous, frail boy, was repeatedly and terribly whipped. "Willie Lamb was very severely whipped on several occasions. I saw his person in the bath room, and his limbs were fearfully lacerated at that time. Kennedy is a boy who looks to be twentyone or twenty-two years of age. He received a very severe punishment with, me on one occasion. I saw bruises on his person after that beating. I have seen John Reid's limbs lacerated from lashings. C. L. Wild had a food record in the institution, but was rutaily beaten many times. George Smith was one of the boys whipped with me by two men and three straps. Johnnie Patterson, the OberliH boy, who died of consumption, waa whipped while very frail and coughing badly. McDonald inflicted that punishment also. Oscar D. Madison was horse-whipped until be had to go to the hospital. McDonald applied the whip on Madison. Madison's whole body was a mass of wales. The whip was broken on Madison on that occasion. Britton said that the treatment he received made him morose and desperate, but that he was finally encouraged by talking with Miss Garvin, and he resolved to become a good man if possible. He said he owed all he was to this lady. A Floater. Milwaukee, March 11. Sunday afternoon the bridge tenders o: the Northwestern Railroad bridge, just above the Lifeboat station, discovered the body of a man floating in the river. Word was sent to the Central Police Station, and the body was removed. When taken to the Morgue papers found on the body proved beyond doubt that the dead man was Andrew SheriiT, of Chicago, junior partner in tbe lumber firm of Sheriff fc Son. Young Sheriff disappeared last fall. He came here from Chicago, and after a week of dissipation disappeared out of Bight. Detectivea searched for him some time without success. There are no marks of violence on ithe body, and it ia an p posed that he fell into .the river accidentally,

The quietness observed yesterday by both the striking Missouri Pacific Railway em ploy ea and their employers is expected to be more than offset to-day by the renewed activity of the company, which will again make the attempt to renew its freight traffic The eflect of the injunction issued by the Circuit Court on Saturday, restraining the strikers from tresspassing and intimidation is already to be seen, for the suburban accommodation trains departed and arrived on time this morning. The ergineers in the employ of the company have already expressed their intention of Standing at their posts when so ordered, and of remaining there until they become Convinced that they go out at their own peril. At a meeting of the Cremen yesterday afternoon. Grand Master Sergeant advised them to report regularly for duty, to respond when called upon by the railroad company, and to go out with the engines unless they believe that they will be exposed to danger by so doing. The first serious act of violence by the strikers occurred this morning, when a party of five men approached W. W. Stanton, a new switchman hired by the Missouri Pacific Comrany, who was tending a switch in the company's yard, and asked him why he was occupying the place of one of the strikers. He replied that he was being paid the wages demanded by the strikers, and that when the man whose position he was then filling should return, he would surrender the place to him. This served to anger the men, and one of them struck Stanton on the temple with a paii of brass knuckles, aud another hurled a rock at him which also struct him on the head and knocked him senseless The assailants then disperse 1, but not before ore of them, Pat O'llorn, was arrested. Stanton, it is thought, is not dangerously wounded. A special dispatch from Atchison, Kan., to the Post Dispatch states that the officials of the Missouri Tacilic Rail way Company at that place have advices from Downes, Kan., on the central branch of the road, to the effect thtt the striking Knights cf labor there have accepted the company's terms and have returned to work. Contrary to general expectation the Missouri Pacific Railway officials have not up to this hour, 2:30 p. m., made any attempt to move freight trains upon their road. Accommodation trains, however, have been ruauidg on their regular schedule time and have not been interfered with in the least. It is asserted in railroad circles that a circular emanating from the East St. Louis Ass-em U'y, Knights of Labor, was served this afternoon upon representatives of all roads centering in East St. Louis, demanding an increase of wages forall shop and yard men, and stating that is the demand is not comcomplied with by C o'clock this evening the men will be ordered out. The rejort referred to above proves to have been true; the circular waa sent, as Mated, but the time given to the railroad companies to respond has been extended to Thursday next. The demand is made by switchmen only, no shopmen .being involved. The locomotive engineers of the Eastern Division of the Missouri Pacific Railway officially notified General Superintendent Kerrigan, that at a called meeting held j-ester-day, a resolution was adopted that the engineers of the Eastern Division are ready to perform their duty as engineers, when called upon, according to the contract of March 21, lfcK5. Judge Tortis, general attorney of the Missouri Pacific, made a formal application today to the Board of Police Commissioners for local protection, the intention seeming to be to cover all legal requirements first, and then make a determined effort to move trains. The board, after a long liscussion of what constituted interference, issued orders to Chief of Police Harrigan to use his force to prevent trespassing upon the company's property within the city limits, and interference with railroad trains therein. The Globe Democrat's Sedalia, Mo., special says: The scenes of Saturday in connection with the attempt to send out a freight train were re-enacted to-day. Assistant Superintendent Silby again addressed a letter to Mayor Rickman, the Board of Aldermen, the Sheriff and other county officers in substantially the same terms as on Saturday, notifying them that he would start a freight train at 3 p. m., and requesting them to be present and protect the train and the company's employes from interference. The Mayor promptly responded by ordering Chief of Police Barnett to have every policeman in the city on the spot at the proper time, and Sheriff Murry summoned as deputies twenty of the leading business men of the city. The police were stationed along the tracks within the city's limits, while the Sheriff and his posse took position outside the line. It was not thought that any interference would be offered inside the city, and this proved to be the case, for the train moved slowly along under police protection, but a few rods beyond the corporation line, and after the train had passed into the hands of the Sheriff, it was boarded by over fifty strikers, who set the brakes, pulled the coupling-pins, and brought it to a halt amid the cheers of a great crowd that had assembled and lined the tracks for a long distance. The train was then ordered back to the yards and the engine to tbe round-house, and thus terminated the third effort to move freight trains. The business men who acted as deputy sheriffs are now satisfied that it is impossible to run freight trains into Sedalia under the present state of affairs, and some incline to the belief that it could cot be done even with the aid of the militia. The railway officials have not stated what they will do to-morrow, but it is thought that they will make no further attempt to resume freight traflic until the strike is ended. The Executive Committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers met here to-night, but their proceedings are expected to be only preliminary in character. Their real business will be done tomorrow. ISoy cott Ordered. . Clevelaxp, 0., March 15. The boycott of J. F. Seiberting by the Trades and Labor Assembly at Akron, O., assumed a new phase to-day, when all bearding-house keepers were informed that they would be boycotted if they gave shelter to workmen employed to take the places of the striking molders. A boycott will also be placed on the tenants of every dwelling and business house owned by

Seiberting in Akron, if not vacated at the expiration of the present leases. The Trades Assembly at Chicago has also been notified to take Eimilar' action regarding buildings owned by Seiberting in that dty. Ferdinand Schumacher, owner of the Windsor Hotel, who has opposed Seiberting in the courts, came to the latter's rescue with an offer to furnish accommodations for all the imported workmen, even if he had to supply them with cots in the halls of the hotel. The feeling on both sides is growing very bitter. Oniet at Kansas City. Kaksas City, March 15. Matters quiet in regard to the strike. 1 1 is said that the company's officials attempted to send out a train under police protection, but could not get possession of their engines, wlnca are under guard by strikers, across the State liDe, in Kansas, at the round-house.

I Delay, and others, representing the Knights of Labor, alleging the seizure and mutilation cf their proitr, and th obstruction of the busfDess of the railroad company, a.id asking for a order restraining all parties Irom trespaajing on their propertv, and interfering with the business Ot the company.

Mr. Jay Could to-day, speaking for the first time respecting the strike by the Kaijhts of Labor on the Missouri Pacific and the remaining, portion of the Gould southwest system, said to a representative of the Associated Press: 'The strike on our system was a complete furprise to me for two reasons: (1.), We had acceded to all the demands which had been made upon us by cur em-, ploycs, and were supposed to be working in harmony with them. (2) The present strike is made up on an issue with wh!ch we have nothing to do, and we can not possibly arbitrate or control. The public may not be aware of it, but the same issue was raised when some men were dischirged on the Wabash Railway at a time when it was in the control of the Vnited States courts. Mr. Powderly, chief of the Executive Committee of the Knights of Labor, called upon me to secure the reinstatement of the men. 'lhe1 ol jcct was then fully discussed, and I told Mr. Powderly that I had no power in the matter, not even an advisory, without a request from the court. At that interview I told Mr. Powderly that if any grievance existed among our men, if he would bring thc-m to our attention, we would endeavor to right them. We recognized the necessity of rensining on good terms with our people, towhom one-half of the earnings of the roal go yearly. The present strike came without notice and not in consequence of any grievances 'cited against us; and in view of my interview with Mr. Powderly, whom I believe to be a fair minded man, was all tbe more surprising to me. As to the future, Mr. Gould said: "I am advised that great numbers of the strikers are not in sympathy with the movement and will return to work as soon as assured protection by the civil authorities. It is our intention to resume operations as fast and as soon as this protection is afforded." In conclusion, he declared that he did not care to discuss the other features of the strike beyond the statement that the company could not possible join hands with the Knights of Labor against the United States Supreme Court in their war on another system, which, he asserted the present strike involved. An Advance of Wagea. Chicago, March 15. The Inter-Ocean's Milwaukee special say: It is announced here to-day that the iron mining companies in the Menomine iron range Lave all voluntarily advanced the pay of their men from ten to fifty cents per day. This advance was bronght about by the fear of trouble that might come in the busy season. As it is none of the companies have this season sold their full product in advance lest some labor trouble mfght come in and prevent their getting it out. Strike of Hungarian Miners. Pittsbcrg, March 15. A Dubois, Pa. special says: Three hundred Hungarians at Walston's struck to-day Tor the ColumbusConvention scale. If they are successful it will e j title them to an advance from 40 to 47 Ja cents per ton. This strike is a week in advance oi the one ordered throughout the fourth district and waa a surprise to every one. Nothing will be done to settle matters until Thursday, when it is expected the operators will meet a committee of miners to arbitrate grievances, Should the arbitration committee fail to meet on the ISth, next Monday, 4,000 miners will quit work. Hard Glove Fifbt. Elpaso, Tex., March 15. About 1,000 sportsmen and others gathered at the pavilion Saturday night to witness the prize fight between Billy Manning, of San Francisco, and(B. Burt Price, a local pugilist. Both men have been training for the fight for the past two weeks. Price had agreed to knock out the Californian in five straight rounds or three minutes each or forfeit $250, Marquis of Queensbury rules, and the hardest of gloves to prevail. It was nearly midnight before the contestants appeared in the ring. Both men were in excellent condition. Price showed to better advantage than his antagonist and began the fight by flooring Manning with a powerful right-hander in just one and three-quarter minutes. On the second round Manning displayed great caution aod respect for Price's fists. After sparring about the ring, Manning startled every one by jumping at Price and striking him a fearful blow on the neck. Price fell, senseless, and did not recover consciousness for fully a minute. This ended the fight the referee awarding victory to Manning. A Large Passenger Train. Omaha, Neb., March 15.

It consisted of seventeen coaches and was in two sections, besides sev eral cabooses, which were left at Cheyenne to go east by way of Kansas City.
