Application of the Knights of Labor Is Denied by the District Supreme Court Judge—Killed by a Boiler Explosion— Sugar Trust Vietory. The Knizh'=s Are Beaten JUuDGE Cox of the District Supremse Court declined to grant the application of the Knights of Labor to compel Secretary Carlisle to show cause why he should not be en oined from issuing %50,0.0,000 of binds as proposed in his vecent bond circular. Treasury ofS ficials received with unfeigned satis- - facdion the decision of Judge Cox dis- - Labor for an injuncticn against Secretary Carlisle t) restrain him from issuing toids. The claimants will appeal to the Court of Appeals and wheu that body decides aga nst them to the United States Supreme Court. Secretary Carlisle declined to make for pablication any statement of the results of his trip to New York. It was officially stated at the department that the statoment, attributed to the Secretary while in New York that if the subscriptions ran up to $73,000,000 he intended to sell that many benis, was incorrect. It is said that if the Secretary had wanted that amount of bonds he would have so stated in his circular inviting proposals for them. Da Gama a Prisoner. RlO JANEIRO advices say the insurgent warships have had a narrow escape from being blown out of the water by the American fleet under Admiral Benham. A complete backdown alone averted the annihilation of the reb:l force in the harbor and the ending of the whole Brazilian war. As it is, one of Da Gama’s gunboats has an American shell in her stern post as a reminder that Admiral Benham “meant business” when he declared that he would protect American shipping. Admiral Da Gama opened fire upon the Americin warships in' the harbor. Admiral Benham, the American commander, vigorously resp nded, and after a short, sharp engagement Da Gama surrendered.

An avplication was made for the arrest of Brewer and an associate, Herman L. Cohn, on the charge of passing worthless checks issued con the State Bank of Barton. Brewer's plan contemplated the establishment not only of a bank in the wilds of Vermont, but of a financial instituticn in New York, to serve as the bank’s metropolitar correspondent, and Brewer and his chum Cohn rolied it is said, on the well-worn device of “kiting” checks in order to make both ends meet.

This arises partly from choice and partly from necossity. A year ago or more Mr. Harter told his ople that he would not be a candiggte for re-electi' n, and since then has changed his residence to Philadelphia in order to be near his daughter. Speaking of the matter Mr. Harter said: “T exiect to serve out the rest of my term in Congress, but shall then abandon political life. A Congressional caveer has many attractions, but more drawbacks. It does not suit me to be nine-tenths an office broker and one-tenth a legislator.” FOREIGN, A REFORM in parliamentary procedure, by which obstruction wonld be | minimi: ed, is proposed in the French

Twenty-six Men Perish. TWENTY-SIX lives were lost by the

wrecking of the British bark Port | Yarrock, from Santa Rosalia, Jan. 4, | for Antwerp, which some days ago put into Brandon Bay, County Kerry, Ireland, in a disablcd condition and which during a gale dragged her anchor and went ashore. A very heavy sei was running in the bay and when the bark struck the surf made a clean breach over her. It was reported that the captain and six of the crew were ill and this made the ve.selshorthanded. The vessel was helpless and \ took ground ¢n a sandy bottom over six miles from where she had been auchored. The bark struck almost broadside on and the surf pounded her with terrific violence. Asthe tide arose the surf{ became stronger and soon the sea was sweeping over the decis of the bark. Her hatch s were evidently battened down and tie ¢ mpanion-ways closed. for there were no signs of her filling. It was impossible, owing to the position of the stranded vessel, for any assistance to reach her, and in a t short time she began to break up. First her thre» masts went by the board and the wreckage floating along- ! side caused the hull to heel over ata is}‘:m';» angle, thus affording a be ter ! mark for the sea that was growing ! stronger and stronger. Soon butts and | seams on the weatherside began to { open and in a short time the vessel be- | gan to break up. Some of tho-e on % board the bark attempted to reach i shore by means of planks or spars, but { they were swept off and disappeared I almost as soon as they left the vessel § Not a per=zon on the bark was saved. % ~tatist'cs of Railroads. | IN advance of its regular statistical | report the Interstate Commerce Comi mission has comypiled the returns from | 479 operating compyanies whose railroad | mileage is 145,864 58 mile: of line, o 87 | per ¢ont, of the total operated milecage iin the United States for that l period.

The remainder of the afternoon was spent in the discussion of amendments looking to the free admission of machinery used in the manufacture of cotton goods. Just Lefore the House adjourned the advocates and opponents of the jncome tax on the Demceratic <=ide were arraved against each other, but rothinz definite wus done. The Hawaiian question came tefore the senate acain and after an hour’s discussion went over. The result of the debate was to show that there is division both in the Democratic and Republican ranks as to the wisdom of adoptinz the resolution reported by the Foreicn Relations Committee. The biil repealinz the Federal election laws came up as unfinished business. Senator Lodge took the floor in opposition to the bilk. When the Senator concluded his remarks the senate went into executive =ession. At 3:15 the doors were | reopened and Senawor Coke, of Texas, called up the Uill authorizing the Gulf. Beaumont & Kansas City Railroad Companv to btridge the Neches and Sabine Rivers in Louisiana and Texas was passed. several minor amendments being flrst adopted. The bill extending the time for the construction of the bridge across the Calumet River. Illinols; the Senate bill authorizinz the issue of a patent to the Presbyteriun Board of Home Missions for certain lands on the Omaha Indian reservution for school purposes. and the House bill to authorize the Sfecretary of the Interior to reserve from sale certain lJand in the abandoned Fort Cummings military reservation were nussed. ! The nearest approaci: t» anything es ini terest in the House Thursday was the re- | peated attempts of mewmbers of the New ! York delegation to fiiibuster against the ixo«ihh‘ introduction of =:n income tax ! amendment to the tariff bGill. The { ameadment was not offered and |t !v;vms‘ there was no intention of offer- ’ ing it, so their efforts were wasted. i There were 2 great mauny amendment: to i the tarif biil offered, but only one of im= portance, that taking crude opium off the free list and impesing a duty of §1 per pound. This, like all the other amendi ments approved by the Ways anG Means I Committee, was adopted. At 4:40 the § liouse took a recess in order to permit the i heldine of a Democratic caucus to censider the income tax bill. The Senate did noth- | inz of importance. The only aricndment to the tariff bill adopted by the House Friday was one in- | ereasing the duty on cut stones unset to 30 | per cent. ad valorem, and taking rouzh or | uncut: stones from free list and placing | them on the dutiable list at 15 per cent. ad valorem. Anattempt to place tin plate on | the free list was unsuccessful. The ses-ion »| of ‘he Senate was devoted t. a discussion | of Senator Call’'s public land resolution f | sxnd a general colloquy over the Federal . | election bills. A strong appeal was made | by Senator Call in favorof the homesteaders of Florida, vho, he alleged, were be= ine deprived of their rights by land-grant : r‘l, :‘. 2 . “_H':mm_” _V,‘ : f»;. ,:,,V:m o,« ..
