For years a curious phenomenon has been poticed on Lake Winnebago, in Wisconsin, where, as soon as the ice forms solidly, an immense crack opens almost exactly in the center of the lake, extending lengthwise from one end of the lake to the other. The crack is now three to six feet wide and about thirty miles long. It is supposed to be caused by the expansion of the ice, and theé pressure against each shore being equal, the upheaval and fissure appear in the middile. :

AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS. The Convention Adopts . Resolutions, Elects Officers and '‘Adjourns. Chicago. Jan. 24.—After a busy session of four Jiours, the National Convention of American Manufacturers adjourned rine die Thursday afternoon. The next convention will be held at Philadelp.ia, at a date to be iixed by the executive comirittee. The majerity of the delegates seem to favor Nashville, but the nomination of that city was withdrawn upon the representation that the prime necessity of interesting New Ungland manufacturers could best be met by holding the convention in the Quaker City. President Dolan, who was confined to his hotel by illness, rent word to the committee on nominations that he absolutely could not scrve the association another year, and thereupon Theodore C. Search, president of the John B. Stetfon company, of Philadelphia, &nd founder of the Philadelphia Textile school, was chosen president for 1856. Robert Laidlaw and E. P. Wilson, of -Cincinnati, were reelected treasurer and secretzry, respectively.

A number of resolutions were reported from the committes and adopted, some without comment and others after a brief discussion. A synopsis follows: b ;

They ask that the interstate commerce commission be authorized to prepare a uniform classification of freight rates to be put into effect on all railroads January 1. 1897. They advocate the establishment of an industrial exposition in the City of Mexico; that a department of manufactures be established under a secretary of equal rank with the secretary of agriculture; that the inequality of traffic conditions in various states be investigated and righted if possible, and that the senate of the United States be earnestly requested to pass promptly and send to the president the revenue bill lately adopted by the Louse of representatives. A resolution ‘was also adopted insisting that congress treat domestic sugar as it does wool and all other agricultural products, and demanding for the beet and cane sugar industries fair legislation and liberal encouragement.

The committee on resolutions declined to report upon the resolutions of sympathy with Cuba submitted by Delegate Barbour, of Detroit, on the ground that the manuscript declared that the war had ended, cxtolled the insurgent generals and denounced the Spaniards in harsh terms. Members of the Michigan delegation denied this, and asked consent to reopen the matter and have the resolution read. This request, upén being put to a vote, was rejected by a large majority. ; Richard H. Edwards, editor of the Manufacturers’ Record, of Baltimore, submitted a strong argument in favor of a new cabinet position to be designated as the department of manufac ture and commerce, and after an address upon infernational banks by Ulysses D. Eddy, of New York, the convention adjourned. ‘

LAYS IT TO THE SENATE.

Dun Says It Injures Business by Doing Nothing. New York, Jau. 25.—R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review of trade, say:

‘““The week has been marked by an improvement apparent §atiier than real Prices of some productis have risen, but only because supplies are believed to be smaller than was expected. Prices of pig iron and billets have risen, but ' ecause coke and. ore have been made dearer and not because of any better demand for finished products. Money has been easy, but only because more has been borrowed from KEurope at a time when the actual balance of trade takes money hence to Europe. The senate still injures business by doing ‘nothing, and the treasury cannot expect to gain in gold as yet. but loses less than was expected. 1t is generally assumed that the new loan will be placed without difficulty. Buciness at the mills does not revive. Payments throueh clear: ing houses for the weck aie 6.5 per cent. larger than last year, but 293 per cent less than in 1893, being less satisfactory than for a long time. e “*A deluge of foreign renorts favorable to wheat speculation found ready answer in an advance of over five .cents here in spite of western receipts, 50 per cent. larger than last year. Atlantic evports for the week were also much larger than last year, for the first time in several months, but for the crop year to date, ali exports have been abaut 11,600,000 bushels smaller than last ycar. The market has the idea that foreign demands hereafter must be much groater because of deficient supplies elsewhere, but no one expects: that the increase will be at all commensurate with the enormous increase of western receipts. Corn advanced hecause wheat advanced, receipts and exports continuing as before. : !

“Failures for 15 davs of January have shown liabilities amounting to $l2 538,617, ‘against $7,501,209 in 17 days >f last year and $13,608,980 in 18 days of 1891. The failures for the week have beer 373 in the United: States, against 363 last year, and 61 in Canada, against 89 lastiyecr.” Bradstreet’s says: ‘

-*An analysis of special telezrams to Bradstreet’s from the more imporant business centers throughout the country shows considerable irregularit; in trade. the most favorable feature bveing ithe terdency of staple prices to advance. ‘“At such centers as Chicago and St. Louis reports are made that interior merchants have been disappointed in tke season’s business, and are buying somewhat more sparingly ti:an expected, although many jobbers at those cities renort that travelers for clothing, dry goods, shoe and hardware houses are taking fa'r orders for spring delivery.”

MOB TRIES TO LYNCH. Two Illinois Highwaymen Narrowly Escape with Their Lives. St. Louis, Jan. 25.—Webster Grove is wildly excited over the tragedy of Thursday. night, when Bertram A, Atwater, the young Chicago artist who had gone to the suburb to visit his betrothed, was waylaid and killed by highwaymen. One of the robbers, John Schmidt, wounded to death by the plucky Chieagoan, will probably die. The other thug, Sam Foster, a colored ex-convict, who fired the fatal shots, and Peter Schmidt, who arranged the trap into ‘'which Mr. Atwater was unsuspectingly lured and then slain, are in custody. : When officers started to take the two men to a place of safety the mob closed in and attempted to lynch them. After o struggle Constable Fieldson succeeded in getting the party into a wagon, which he drove toward Clayton, with the intention of taking his prisoners there for safe keeping, le had not proceeded far when the mob caught the Lorse's head and compelled a halt, About 25 shots were fired, one of which wounded Schmidt in the back. The horse reared up and broke away from the mob, which numbered about 65 men, none of whom wore masks. Both the Schmidts, who are cousins, have confessed to the part taken by each in the erime. Atwater’s body was shipped to Chicngo. - G el : Money Elected Senator. - Jackson, Miss,, .}nn.. 25.—The legislature took a joint ballot for United States Senatorat 150 ologk Friday, resnlting: Money, 166; Burkitt, two.

: THE CUBAN WAR. Insurgents Coatinue to Lay Waste Vast : Estates. rrHavana, Jan. 25.—Details of tke attack by the insurgents upon Sabanilla, between Matanzas and La Union, on Wednesday last, have been rececived. The rebels burned the station and two or three houses and looted several stores. The garrison was surprised and defeated after a hot fight, losing many killed and wounded. Unfortunately three women were killed by stray bullets. -

The authorities now have to face a serious problem here. The prices of all kinds of provisions are going up rapidly every day. In spite of this, people are flocking into Havana from the country districts and other provinces, and in many cases the refugees are people who have lost almost everything they possessed, and vast numbers of them, here and elsewhere, are depending upon charity. The cost of the war has been enormous, and the drain created by provisioning the arm y has been very great. Consequently this extra expense,which the authorities will have to meet in some manner, is causing them a great deal of anxiety. - ' However, there is a large and everincreasingexodusof plantersandothers from this city, hundreds leaving by every ship bound for the United States, Jamaica, Hayti or South American ports. The inecrease of crime in all the provinces is said to be enormous. Business is almost at a standstill and commerce is practically a thing of the past. The work of strengthening and increasing the defenses of Havana continues without interruption. A number of additional small forts have been erected at Havana, and the authorities claim that there is absolutely no danger of a sudden attack by the insurgents, much less of a successful siege of Havana. =

In spite of this assurance, however, a fceling of gloom and depression prevails here There is no longcr any talk of settling the insurrection by a erushing blow, and although the advent of Gen. Weyler is looked forward to as likely to re the signal for mcre active operations against the insurgents, the feelings grows that the struggle is a most exhbaustive one for all concerned and that n.uch more blood and treasure must be expended by Spain if the insurrection is to be quelled by force of arms. ;

Uuder taese. circumstances, it is not astonishiny that a feeling in favor of some compromise arrangement is steadily growing and all eyes are turng toward the United States asilikely to be the ¢reat factor in bringing peace and pros)erity ouce more to unhappy Cuba. The military authorities are drawing al' the troops possible from the eastern part of Cuba, as that part of the island, especially the province of Santiago de Cuba, is rapidly resuming a peaceful aspect, owing to the fact tnat nearly all the insurgents have moved eastward. :

APPEAL TO THE POWERS.

United States Senate Wants Them to Carry Out Their Pledges.

Washington, Jan. 25.—The concurrent resolution reported last Wednesday from the committee on foreign relations on the subject of the Armenian outrages was taken up in the senate Friday and was passed after a highly interesting discussion. Senator CulJlom (rep., Ill.), who had reported it, opened the debate and deseribed the occurrences in Turkey as a “massacre of innocents, unparalleled for ages.” Ile said that the English government had a cirect obligation resting on it to protect the Armenians, but nothing had been done by it, nor by any of the other powers, looking to the enforcement cf their treaty obligations beyond mere diplomatic correspondence betwcen them and the sultan. It had therefore seemed to the committee on forzign relations that it could do nothing less than appeal to the powers to carry cut their pledges, as it did in the concurrent resolutions. As to the right of the United States to protect its own citizens everywhere, no orders weore asked from any nation on earth. He knew nothing which had happened in the world for centuries that more called for interference than these slaughters of Armenian Christians. Senator Blanchard (dem., La.) thought thatthereselution did not go farenough and intimated that the committee on foreign relations had been slow in its report. ; '

The committee was defended by Senator Frye (rep., Me.), who made a very fiery speech against the sultan, and against the FEuropean governments which had not interfered to protect the Armenians. He said that if he had his way, the American congress would memorialize Russia to take possession of the Armenian provinces, and would inform her that the United Stateswould stand behind her in doing so. And he declared that if it were necessary to protect American citizens and their property in Turkey, he would order United States ships of war, in spite of forts, and in spite of agreements as to the closing of the Dardanelles, to place themselves before Constantinople, and¢ to give that protection to which American citizens are entitled.

The concurrent resolution was passed without a division and now goes to the house. It expresses the earnest hope that European concert may speedily be given its just effect in such decisive measures as shall stay the hand of fanaticism and lawless violence and shall secure the rights of the unoffending Christians of the Turkish empire. : ; WINTER SPORT AT ST.
