A. R. ZIMMERMAN, Publisher. PLYMOUTH. INDANA. KOLB'S WAY TO WIN. HIS INGENIOUS SCHEME TO MAKE TROUBLE. Many Lives Imperilled by a Net York Fire-Figures from Carlisle's Report Detroit Poles Tear Down Houses for Firewood. Congress May Take a Hand. J. C. Manny, a member of the Alabama Legislature, out of the most prominent Populists in the State and one of Kolb's chief advisers, pave out a portion of Kolb's program. Manning says Kolb will issue certificates of election as Governor de jure to Coodwyn, Howard, Ahl rich, and Robinson as Congressmen. Howard will also have one from Dates. His seat Is not disputed. The program is to have the Republican House at tirst decline to eeat either set of Representatives on the ground that both sides are provided with credentials 'signed by a Governor of AlaLama. The only way that either can be seated then is by means of a resolution. It is proposed that Howard shall offer a resolution to seat the anti-Dcnioeratic Representatives, two of whom are Republicans and three Populists, and a Republican House is exiM-rted to seat them, pending the termination of the contest. This would make the regularly elected Congressmen the contestants and throw the burden of proof upon the Democrats. This plan, it is figured, would afford a temporary indorsement of Kolb as Governor and would be a source of trouble to the Oates administration. Kolb completed a message to the Legislature, which he signs as (Jovenior. The message recommends that his followers do not pay their taxes for a while. He also advises taxcollectors to delay payments of State taxes into the treasury. Thirty-eight of the sixty-six tax-collectors in the State tire Kolbites. New York Dry Goods Blaze.

Secretary Gresham has asked Great Britain to explain her occupancy of the Mosquito reservation. In his report Comptroller Eckels advises a change from a bond to a safety fund security as a basis for bank circulation. Roth Houses of Congress were called to order at noon Monday for the regular winter session. The Senate was ready for business, but the House had no quorum. Interviews with a large number of the Senators and Representatives developed that the session would probably include little or nothing beyond the regular appropriation bills. Representatives and Senators say that while nothing is in sight on the tariff or the currency on which the majority can agree, pomethir.g must be done to provide work outside of the appropriation bills. The Nicaragua Canal will receive early attention, as well as the bankruptcy and anti-option bills, besides which the free silver men will have a nuuhcr of measures. In connection with the strong presentation by Secret ry Herbert of the necessity for the procurement of a number of new torpedo boats, a proposition has been made to him whereby the navy may be made very popular in the vast interior of the United States, where it is now almost unknown, and, more important still, the navy may hold at its disposal a large force of trained sailors, particularly expert in the torpedo service, which there is now no adequate opportunity to develop. The plan in brief is for the Government to build a large number of torpedo boats, and to lend them to the States' naval militia to be used at any point on the river, lake, or even canal, where water may be found, 1o navigate them. There are very few States where the smaller boats of this kind may not find some water to navigate, and with the inducement of the free use of such craft k is not doubted that naval militiamen will be forthcoming in States where there is no other means of drilling them. Competent engineers and ordnance officers would be detailed to instruct the militia in the use of these boats, and the men would be free to avail themselves of them for drills and even for excursions, with the understanding that they should employ no outside help, but would perform every office on the boat themselves, steering, firing and running the uigincs. Washington dispatch: The cost of maintenance of the life-saving service during the fiscal year was $1.258.221. The number of disasters, 504, was greater and more destructive of vessel property than in any previous year since the introduction of the present system. This fact is due to the large number and extreme violence of the tempests which ravaged both the sea and lake coasts. The following is a summary of the statistics of the service from the introductionof the present system in 1871 to the close of the fiscal year: Number of disasters. Value of vessels. .... l,02- ....$ S1.022.O75 Value of cargoes $ 3N.t t31,774 Value of property involved. .$122,tM;i,810 Value of projM'rty saved. . ..$ 1)3,155.522 Valne.of property lost $ 2t,KiM,:ej7 Number of persons involved. 01,422 Number of lives lost 724 Number of persons succored 1 1 ,1TJ I During last year the telephone lines of the service have proved more emphatically than ever before their indispensable value as an aid to prompt and etficient life-saving ojteratious, and the lines have been extended and improved as much as Itossible. The system continues to attract foreign attention, and during the year the details of its operation have been examined in person by the representatives of a Royal Commission of (treat Itritain who treats of it in his report with warm commendation and recommends its adoption in his own country. FOREIGN. At Quito, Ecuador, an earthquake, lasting thirty-seven seconds, did great damage. Pulcan church was destroyed. Fourteen bodies have been taken from the ruins. Many persons were killed and wounded 'Chao rules in Fcian. The Auicricau

Legation in danger of being sacked. Need immediate protection." That is the substance of a cable received Friday at Washington by Secretary Gresham from Minister Denby at Pekin. Secretary Gresham made an immediate call upon Secretary Herbert of the Navy and the two were closeted together for an hour and a half. The result was a cable to Minister Denby that steps had been taken to afford protection. The ollicials of the State and Navy departments refused to discuss at any length the cable correspondence. Shanghai dispatch: A tremendous upheaval of mandariudom is impending as a result of the disciplining of Viceroy Li Hung Chang. Young Lord Li. ex-minister to Japan, is badly implicated in the Government scandal and is likely to be the first to feel the Emperor's displeasure. That the Viceroy will take flight and seek safety in concealment or under Japanese protection is extremely probable, as he and several mendters of his household have been impeached for high treason in a weighty memorial to the throne. The correspondent of the New York World writes r.s follows from Seoul. Corea: "In the midst of the perils that overwhelm his kingdom and threaten his life, the King of Corea received me and made a direct appeal to the people of the United States for help. He recognizes our government as the first to treat with Corea as an independent power, and claims to have a special right to lok for some practical proofs of friendship from America at a time when war and private conspiracy are infringing upon the autonomy of the hermit nation. The King no longer speaks of Corea as a sealed kingdom. He sees plainly that his country must surrender to civilization at last." A dispatch from Shanghai says that great excienient prevails in naval circles there in consequence of the departure of British warships from that port under sealed, orders. The presence of three British cruisers opposite the estuary of Lien Tang Kian is considered to show that Great Britain has decided to more than forestall her rivals in the F.ast, and to obtain a voiie in the settlement to be arrived at between Japan and China. The dispatch adds that fears are increasing that Li Hung Chang will place himself at the head of the army which he has created for his own purposes. Thousands of troops are reported to be arriving from different parts of the country for service under Li Hung Chang. Prime Minister Ito decided not to receive Mr. Dietring, the envoy sent to Japan to negotiate peace. In the meantime Mr. Dietring was recalled to China by la Hung Chang. Mr. Dietring had a brief interview with the Chief Secretary of the Cabinet, who arrived from Hiroshima before the envoy took his departure for Tien Tsin. The native press is generally indignant that China, should send a foreign agent to negotiate for peace. The British lion has fled in dismay from the angry scream of the American eagle, and the Bluctields "incident" that threatened to involve England and the United States in a most serious quarrel is in process of swift and peaceful settlement upon terms which will be entirely satisfactory to this country. The State Department is not yet in receipt of ollicial information from Minister Rayard, but frm the tenor of preliminary negotiation it is satisfied that the British arc about to formally renounce all pretense of a rightvto mix into Niearaguan affairs and draw off permanently. The electric suddenness of the protest of the United States against what was felt to be a dangerous and untenable claim on the part of the P.ritish Foreign Olliee, hateful to every patriotic American instinct, startled the phlegmatic Englishmen into unusual activity. Swift denial of hostile intent ensued, followed quickly by unofficial but authoritative notice of retreat from the position sought to be occupied, and the war cloud is passing away. The details of the proceeding only remain to be arranged, a diplomatic process that will take time, but it is safe to assume that England has already abandoned hope of being able to utilize the Mosquito strip as a club to hold over the projected Nicaragua canal. The bluff was made and called, and the incident is already considered as good as closed. This most happy conclusion of the IJluefields matter has caused a smile to suffuse the face of the Administration.

IN'GENERAL The sugar trust, claiming to have been operating at a loss, has closed all its refineries in New York, Boston and Philadelphia. Over 50,000 men are made idle. The Quebec press is loud in condemnation of the proposal to erect a monument to the memory of Gen. Montgomery in Quebec. The Chronicle says: "Let Montgomery's memory alone. He came here as an invader and he got jut what we hope to give every invader. When Americans come here as friends they will get the warm and honest welcome which Canada always gives to visitors and especially to Brother Jonathan." Other journals express similar views.

CHINA MUST SETTLE

JAPAN'S INDEMNITY ON A GRADUATED SCALE. Death by Drown ins in a Wreck Hold Thieves in Hobokcn-ltich Strike In Doiso City-Mercy for Gen. Swaiin - Smugglers Arrested. Japan Will Take $ 100,000,000. According to the s'ir.i-olüeial press of Yokahama Japan has decided to insist Upon heavy conditions of peace, which will be increased as the war is prolonged. If the war was concluded at the present time Japan would accept an indemnity of 400.ooo.ooo yen (S4m.oiU,o mm and the cession of the territory now occupied by her forces. Too much weight should not be attached to the Chinese overtures for peace, for it is believed Japan will be requested to give her enemy further proof of the power of Japan in order that the Chinese people may learn that their (Jovernment sued for peace. If China is unable to pay the war indemnity immediately a portion of the sura decided upon paid down will bo accepted and the remainder may be paid in installments with interest. It must, however, be stipulated that the power of Japan is regarded as absolute and then there will be no further opposition to the conclusion of peace. Cars Roll Into Lake Cham plain. Passengers from the Montreal express of the Delaware and Hudson Uoad, which was wrecked at Port Henry Monday afternoon, reached Albany N. Y., at midnight.

BONDS ARE AWARDED.

Secretary Carlisle Allots Kntite Isen to the United States Trust Co. KCRETAUY CA Itlisle has acted in the matter of the allotment of the $50,000,(h h 5 per cent, bonds, bids for which were opened at the Treasury Department. He accepted the proposal submitted bj the syndicate represented by John A. Stewart, of theUnited States Trust Com pany of New York, and others to take tho entire issue at 117.77. It is the expectation of the treasury ollicials that the deposit of g;ld for the payment of the bonds will be made promptly, and, as the understanding is that none of the gold is to be taken from the treasury, an early restoration of the gold icserve to above the $100.tMHUNM) mark will be the result. The bonds, including premium, will realize tho government about $5S,5 . n . The gold balaii'-e. which is now in round numbers. $57.." U . will, if the expectations of the ollicials regarding the deposits of the gold bonds are borne out, be increased t i abou t S 1 10,1 h h i. ; !i . Previously, however, there had been $4,550.000 in gold drawn from the subtreasury at New York, presumably to lo used in the payment of the bonds. Assistant Secretary Curtis heard inoilicially ever the longdistance telephone from New York that $8,000,000 in gold had been deposited in the subtreasury there for bond payments. The bonds are deliverable as soon as the gold is deposited, and as the bureau of engraving and printing has been busy at work preparing for the issue they will, it is expected, soon be ready for distribution. The denominations of bends which the pvndicate will take are as follows Coupons: $o. $.-.,kk; $im. $25,000; $1,000, $.''4,1 50.000. Registered: $10,000, S15.0OO.oo0. The condition on which the bonds are accepted is shown by the original proposal of the syndicate, which is in the following terms, minus the names of the companies composing the trust and the denominations wanted: "We hereby propose, under the terms of your circular of Nor. lo, 1SIM, to purchase I'nited States 5 per cent, ten-year bonds described in said circular of the face value of $50H.0,000, and we agree to pay therefor at the rate of 117.077 and accrued interest per $100. This bid is for the whole $50. mo.OoO. lmt not for any lesser amount. We further agree, upon duo notice of the acceptance of this subscription, to deposit the amount thereof in gold coin or gold certificates with United States Assistant Trensurers at either Iioston. New York. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washingtoc, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans, San Francisco, in accordance with tho terms of said circular. "We desire (registered or coupon) bonds In denominations as stated below, and we vjish them to be delivered to us as follows: $40.000,000 at New York, ..OOO,000 at P.oston, $:U.o,O00 at Philadelphia, $2,0v0.000 at Chicago, and $L000.000 at Ban Francisco, or other United States treasuries, as may be approved by the Treasury Department.'' The total sum that the Government will receive for the ssue will aggregate about $5S,000.0CO, and as the understanding is that the syndicate will not take gold out of the treasury to pay for the bonds, a healthy increase in the gold reserve will be the result. From the statements contained in the bid made by the syndicate, treasury ollicials believe that between $.0,)oo.oo0 and $4O,HX,000 of the gold will be paid in at the sub-treasury at New York, and the remainder at the sub-treasuries in Iloston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco. THE SALVATIONISTS FARM. Where Men from I,on lo Slum Aro Reclaimed Bnl Taucht. When in 1J0 Gen. Booth of the Salvation Army, published his book, "Darkest England," ho asked for contributions that a farm might be established near London whero men reclaimed from tho elums might havo a chance to l oform and learn tome useful trade. Tho turn of $425,(0 was raised and a farm, e illed Ild'eig'.j, of lt-00 acres, purcha-:ed. Buildings and dormitories wero put up and tho work Bucce elully started, ihe men working on tho farm are paid by tho week from 15 cents to '.r.o ani out cf thia sum they must purchase clothes, food, lodging and a chance t j work is given them. Kac'.i man must also savo a. certain part of his earnings, which is given him when ho leuvoi tho farm. The average number of men is 1V0 and thcro are bjsides 100 permanent ollicials, who are members of the arm v. The most extonsivo industry at Iladleigh is tho raising and picking of fine fru.t. Fruit picking within nach cf London is generally given over to tho denizens of tho slums, who aie conveyed to tho scenes of action in train loads, and unully convert tho r.;ral Beeno into moro or los of a. lum during their labors. At the colony great care is exercised in tho choice of pickery; tho mor.il experiment, which lormsalargo half of the scheme, will not allow of indiscriminate asst ciation. For tho samo reason tho colony is as comp'cte in itself as t' e governor au make it, in r.rder to prevent tho necessity for much communu ation with tho village. Even a tobecco license has 1 een obtained, or though thoroughgoing Salvationists do not approvcTof tobacco, they find that some conce sioa to human weakno k is tho highest wisdom. Permission to go beyond the colony has to be asked, but a tho tr act is seTortil mile in length this is not to great a hardship as ono might fancy. Garn, tco, aro provided for tho men; foot-ball, cricket, quoits, i as ng, jumping, tug-or-war, aro all encouraged. A visitor to tho farm writing- of tha various industries there, says: A rabbit warren with 1,'iOO rabbits reared for tho market and a thriving poultry farm interested mo much. o drove round, iiells of waving corn, wheat, barley, oats. The rich alluvia! ground grow excellent crop ;. Yo visited the fawmills, tho wheelwright's shp-, backsmith's shop, tho briokmakin" industry. This lat i somowhat infportant, employing forty men. Excellent brick clay is found on tho land, and this is wisely utilized. Nearly all tho brick i used in tho colon v have been made at tho kiln , and a large and growing market is found fir the bricks both in tho immediate neighborhood and to London. The colour has been enterprising enough to build a railway connecting tho wharf and brickwork s at an oxpenso of $10,000. This wa dono by the advice of a noted railroad contractor, who agroed to build it without any proht to himaeiX.
