Boys in Blue Join with Men in Gray —Greek Independeuce Day Observed { with Enthusiasm — Bodies Yet in | White River, Ind., Wreck. Anniversary of Shiloh, A reunion of the survivors of the battle of Shiloh—those who wore the gray as well as those who were garbed in blue—opened Tuesday at Pittsburg Landing, Tenu., on thait famous battlefield. This is the thirty-fifth anniversary of the com‘mencement of the battle, and the reunion - was under the auspices of the Shiloh Battlefield Association, composed of ex-sol-diers, Union and Confederate. A general invitation had been extended to all other soldiers and civilians and a dozen States were represented in the crowd that went out to the battlefield. The morning pro- : - gram_ was confined to an informal reun- ~ lon, the exercises being fixed for the asM with Gen. J. A. McClernand of 2 ingfield, 111, presiding. Those on the 0 prégram were Dr. Joseph E. Martin of Jackson, Tenn., for the opening address on *A United Country;” response by Captain E. Y. Hedley of Bunker Hill, 111., and Gen. James R. Chalmers and Gen. McClernand contributing some “Recollections of Shiloh” from the standpoint of the gray and the blue. The special feature of the occasion was the dedication of the /

Ninth Illinois monument, which marks the spot where 219 men of a battalion of 400 fell in one day's fighting, sixty-nine killed and 150 wounded. _ Harrison Chicago’s Mayor. Carter H.

It gave to each candidate upon it more than twice as many votes as the next highest man received, and the City Council was also captured. The township Democratic tickets were successful. The election was one of the most exciting, notwithstanding that it was so one-sided, that have ever been held in Chicago: and while Mr. Harrison’s success was coniidently predicted by his friends and pretty generally conceded by his opponents, no one in the city expected ssuch a landslide all along the line. - N = £ e 1 Cheer King George. . The greatest enthusiasm was manifested at Athens Tuesday during the fetes organized to celebrate the anniversary of the declaration in 1821 of the independence of Greece from Turkish rule. The king and the members of the royal family there, accompanied by the ministers and all the high court and other officials of . Athens, attended the religious ceremonies at the cathedral, where ate deum was sung. The king received a great ovation during his passage to and from the cathedral. and he and the ministers were showered with leaflets inscribed “Hurrah for War.” In Several States, City elections in Wisconsin show the Democratic vote was in the ascendant. St. Louis, Mo., remains Republican. The result in Michigan seemed to favor the Democrats, and in Illinois also heavy Demoecratic gains are reported. Many Kansas cities chose Democratic Mayors and Councils. NEWS NUGGETS, Aubrey Beardsley, the artist, is dangerously ill at London, and it is feared he cannot recover, Lawyer Charles 1..

March 1 its indebtedness to banks for borrowed | money was nearly $120,000, and nothing was on hand to meet the expenses of the present month, amounting to $50.000 more. The donations and subscriptions during the month have been liberal, but the society is still heavily in debt, and no relief is anticipated for some time to come unless sowmwe bequests may bcvomu' available. All the buildings of the Shamokin Powder Company at Shamokin, Pa., were completely wrecked by a territic explosion | in the uell Friday morning. Fortunately there were no lives lost, all of the workmen having gone to their homes. The dwellings of David Hann, Emanuel Klinger and Danicl Osman, together with outbuildings and barns, were badly damaged, The powder mill is located about five ‘miles from the city, but the force of the | explosion shook nearly every building, and many persons rushed from their houses to ascertain the cause of the shock. The only person injured was Mrs. Hann, who was badly cut about the face and body. The damaged residences arc located nearly half a mile from the scene of the explosion. Mr. and Mrs. Hann and Mrs. Klinger were buried beneath the debris, and bowlders weighing 200 pounds were hurvled through the sides of 11:0‘ dwellings. The loss will amount to nearly !

The list of dead stands as follows: Mrs. Adelina Darlington, Marselle Darlington. Mrs. Elizafiboth French, Fidele IFrench, and Miss Ellen Morrissey. None of those who were in the building when the fire started could explain how it was caused. The J:}nitress of the building, Mrs. Annie Harrington, said there had been no fire in the furnace since Sunday, and there was nothing burning in the basement except a gas jet, which was toward the front, some distance from the airshaft. Another dangerous fire occurred Monday night, and for a time many lives were in danger. It occurred in the Manhattan State asylum for the insane on Ward's Island, and the greater part of the east wing of the building, set apart for male patients, was desiroyed. The 700 patients ir the wing that was burned bekaved adrivably, The fiames leaped around them and glowing sparks fell from the walls and ceiling on their heads and clothing, but they did not manifest a fear. As a result, no one was injured. WESTERN.

T., dispatch: Irom persons just in from Ravia it is learned that a posse of Indian Territory deputy marshals, headed by Deputy MclLamore, met a band of outlaws near that place and a desperate fight ensued. The desperadoes were seven in number and three of them are known to have been wounded in the engagement. None of the officers was injured. The gang is known as the Morris band of outlaws. Chris Schultz, a 17-year-old messenger in the employ of the wholesale woolen firm of Kuh, Nathan & Fischer at Van Buren and I‘ranklin streets, Chicago, was held up and robbed of $3,500 at 11 o'clock IFriday morning by two men. One of the youth's assailants was Edward Wilson, a fellow employe of the firm. The other highwayman is not known at present to the police. Both escaped, leaving their victim bruised and bleeding upon the sidewalk in the downtown district where the robbery occurred. The police promise to have both robbers in custody soon. Young Schultz’s injuries are very serious, I'ire broke out in H. Rosenbaum’s cloak establishment at Cincinnati, Ohio, at 1 o'clock Sunday morning, and spread to the George IY. Ott carpet house. The estimated loss is $750,000. It was the most disastrous fire since the Burkhard conflagration of three years ago.

There is besides this a large supply of non-Bes-semer ore. Were it not for the fact that orders have been placed for more iron and steel than ever before the situation for both iron mining and vessel interests would be indeed blue, But the iron ore must be had to fill these orders, and the time must come belore many months when the mills must become heavy purcnasers of ore, It is owing to this curious state of affairs that vesselmen expect a tr(-n.wx}(lous business during the latter h:xlr. of the season. The iron mining combanies are talking of a rate of 70 cents for the season for carrying ore from the head of Lake Superior to Lake Erie. Not many vesselmen are disposed to accept that figure, as it barely covers the cost | of transportation for large and economical boats. lor smaller craft it involves an l actual loss on every cargo carried. The general oponion here is that in the end ' the season rates will be about 75 cents. | WASHINGTON.

It is seriously questioned if this will prove constitutional. The Secretary of Agriculture announces that the world's wheat crop for 1896 is 2,428,393,000 bushels. It is the smallest for six vears. All sections report an exceptionally small percentage on hand, the general average being 20.6, against 26.2 last year, and showing but 88,000,000 bushels in farmers’ hands on March 1. Unusualiy little of the crop of 1885 remains—but 3 per cent., against 4.7 per cent. of the 18D4 crop so held a year ago. A larger proportion than usual must be retained for home consumption. The average percentage so retained is 48.3, against 41.5 last yvear, when the inducements to export were weaker. The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business Wednesday, the debt, less eash in the treasury, amounted to $1,003.962,200, a decrease for the month of $8,638,254, This decrease is accounted for by a corresponding increase in the amount of cash on hand. 'This, however, does not include $607,702,473 in certificates and treasury notes outstanding and oifset by an equal amount of cash in the treasury. The cash in the treasury aggregates $875.239,759, Against this there are demand liabilities amounting to $653,194.153, which leaves a cash balance in the treasury of 1 $222,045,606. The monthly eomparative statement of the (Fovernment receipts and expenditures shows the total receipts during March to have been $306.217,662, and the disbursements $27.212,997, leaving a surplus for the month of $9,004,665. This excess is due almost entirely to increased receipts from customs. The President ‘Thursday sent to the Senate the following nominations: Andrew D.

The bill provides that a certain per cent. will be deducted from the officials’ salaries, and this amount, with interest half-year-at D per cent. per annum, will be given the official when he retires or to his #Blatives should he die in the service, he publication at Toronto, Ont., of a Iwe-book giving details of the mining Icession granted by the provincial govetament last I'ebruary to a British synditate and the further development that this syndicate is in reality a cloak for the famous South African Company, has literally startled the province, and caused one of the greatest sensations of recent vears. The conservatives declare that the concession is a grab without precedent, and that the government has been absolvtely unfaithful to its trust. According to the records the South African Company is given a three years’ option to 100 square miles, or 64,000 acres of mining territory. from which individnal prospectors are to be excluded. Hitherto the extent of a location has been limited to 100 acres. The immense area of land covered in the alleged grab is in the Rainy River district, and is said to be extremeIy rieh in mineral. The only conditions of the grant are that the explorers shall expend in actual exploration during the three years not less than $120,000, a deposit of $20,000 being required to bind the bargain, and to be returned in the event of the company expending the amount of money stipulated. Heretofore the predecessors of the present goverument have refused to open this territory. MARKET REPORTS.

m MA MARVELOUS STRIKE & J N ARIZONA ORE THAT VYIELDS $6,000 TO THE TON. Yuma District Wild with Excitement —Globe Savings Bank of Chicago in a Receiver’s Hands—Railroads the Victims of Their Own Dounble-Dealing : Yields $6,000 to the Ton, Col. George F. Payne, a well-known gold miner of California for more than a quarter of a century, who has just arrived at Pomona, Cal., from Arizona. says that Yuma is wild with excitement because of the two finds of marvelous rich gold ore. M the Pichaco mining district, twentyfive miles north of Yuma, on the California side of the Colorado river, are the Golden Dream and Noonday mines. For several weeks the men at those mines have been getting into rich ore and the owner has been offered as high as $175,000 for his mines, Thursday men in both mines, at almost the same hour, ran into ledges of ore that yield over $6,000 to the ton. Ifour specimens from these ledges were found to run $2,750 per ton. Twelve carelessly selected bits of roclk assayed $3,120 to the ton. The ledges in the Pichaco district are all very large. One ledge of lowgrade ore there is sixty feet wide. No one can tell yet the dimensions of the | ledge in which this rich ore has hbeen | found, but it is certainly a big one. Be- | sides there is constantly coming into Yuma every day news of rich fields in the Gleason district, twenty miles east of Yuma, near Tacna Station, and surrounded by desert. Savings Bank in Trouble, Customers of the (Globe Savings Bank, Chicago, were greeted Monday with a note on the doors of the bank to the effect that the property of the concern had been placed in the hands of the Chicago Title and Trust Company, receiver. This action had been looked for ever since it became known that the Eastern stockhglders had refused to agree to the assessment of 50 per cent which President Spalding had urged. The last bank statement shows $200,000 capital and undivided profits of $12,600. Individual deposits were listed at $142,000, with $313,000 savings deposits. The Globe Savings Bank had no connection with the (Globe National Bank. It cleared its checks through the Northwestern National Bank, and the latter gave notice before clearings Monday morning that it wounld not clear the checks of the (Gilobe Navings Bank. The bank had been in financial straits for some time and there had been several recent conferences of stockholders to arrange to religve the embarrassment. One of these meetings decided upon an assessment of 50 per cent on the stock, and the holders of the stock living in Nashua at once protested and began a contest of the assessment, Railroads in Suspense, The Supreme Court has decided not to hear oral arguments this term in the case of the United States against the Joint Tratlic Association, on appeal from the Pederal Court of New York. The day set for hearing is Oect. 18, but other hearings were set for the same day, and the case may not be reached before November. This decision of the Supreme Cougt to postpone action until next fall will ve a serions disappointment to the railroads. Their wish was that the points invelved in the Joint Traflic Association case would he disposed of this spring, so they would know exactly what was before them, and whether or not they would have to appeal to Congress for remedial legislation before the adjournment of the special session. The action of the court is open to the construetion that, in the opinion of the Supreme Court, there is no necessity for extraordinary haste on the part of the tribunal to extricate the railroads from the uncertainty for which they themselves are largely responsible. The controversy between the Government and the railroads is not of the Government’'s seeking, the provoking cause of the litigation being the roads themselves, Weyrler in a Racge. An Havana dispatch of Monday says: The prevailing belief is that Gen. Rivera will not be shot. An order is said to come feom Madrid to spare his life. This is not prompted from motives of humanity, but to make a good inipression upon the United States and other nations. Gen. Weyler is furious, it is reported, and may cause the order to be withdrawn, in which case Gen. Rivera would be put to death., A report from the insurgents says that (ien, Rivera received orders from Gen. (Gomez to turn over his command to Gen. Roloff, | and was about to report to (en. Gomez | for other duty when he was captured. That his capture was brought about by treason is still suspected, but Nenor Jorrin is no longer accused. The traitor is thought to have been a petty officer under Gen. Rivera. o BREVITIES, The wooden span of the north-end aproach to the Oh ¢ \ i i n:r.::.—.,:‘; while a Fort Wayne *_‘ rain | was crossing, and the engine and thirteen i cars were pre "';:‘,l'.--45 to M avenue, | fifty feet below.

w—w g WORK OF CONGRESS. THE WEEK'S DOINGS IN SENATE AND HOUSE. A Comprehensive Digest of the Proceedings in the Legislative Chambers at Washiugton—Matters that Concern the People. ; | i | Lawmakers at Labor. The House Wednesday adopted the Grosvengr amendment to the Dingley tariff. bill, and then by a vote of 203 to 122 passed the bill itself. The amendment gives the bill immediate effect, thus -making the measure retroactive upon imports already here, but yet in bond. The President sent to the Senate the following, among other nominations of poste masters: .John A. Childs, Ilvanston, 11l Joseph C. Weir, Rantoul, 11l.; William T Pritchard, Franklin, Ind.; John W. Beard, Converse, Ind.: Henry 1. Chesley, Suatherland, Towa: James W. Peekinpaugh, Olivia, Minn.;: I, P. Corrick, Cozad, Neb.: Clifford B. McCoy, Coshocton, Ohio: E. A. Deardorff, New Philadelphia, Ohio; William I, Bishop, Peshtigo, Wis. In the Senate Thursday four Cuban resolutions were presented. The most impor;aut, by Mr. Morgan, declares that a state of war exists, and announces the policy of this country to accord both parties to the conflict full recognition as | belligerents. 'Lhis will be acted upon at a future day. TWoMQmMnfimfl“‘call for information; both were adopted. The third proposed a protest to the trial by drumhead court martial of Gen. Riviera. The tariff bill passed by the House was referred to the linance Committee. A joint resolution directing the use of a war vessel to transport relief to India’s famine districts was agreed to, and the Senate adjourned to Monday. No business was done by the House. Most of the members of the House have gone to their homes and some of them do not expect to return until the Senate has passed the tariff bill. At present Speaker Reed -is determined to enforce the program of having the House meet every three days and immediately adjourn without attempting to transact any business. It is not certain, however, that the policy of nonaction can be adhered to. Great pressure is being brought to bear upon the Speaker and, his lieutenants in the House to prevent consideration of other business. Until the tariff bill is reported the Senate will occupy its time in discussing the arbitration treaty. The Senate Monday by unanimous vote adopted a resolution reciting the reports ~that Gen. Ruis Rivera, the Cuban com‘mander, is about to be tried by drumhead court martial and shot, and expressing the judgment of the Senate that if these reports are true the President of the United States should protest to the Spanish Government against such a violation of the rules of civilized warfare. This resolution was not sent to the House of Representatives, but became effective as a measure of advice to the President by its adoption. After the disposal of the Cuban question the day was given to speeches, Mr. Elkins speaking for two hours on the development of the American merchant marine and Mr. Lindsay advocating the passage of the Torrey bankruptey bill. A joint resolution was agreed to directing the Surgeon (General of the Marine Hospital service to aid the Mississippi River flood sufferers by the distribution of tents, blankets, food and medicine under the epidemic fund of 1893, and to purchase further supplies under the present epidemic fund for distribution The Senate Tuesday was oceupied by discussion of (‘'nban affairs and the bankruptcy bill.
