ident of the United States shall receive satisfactory evidence that $10,000,000 have been rawed or provided for to successfully carry on this fair, before proclamation is made and invitations extended to foreign nation#.

Section 11 appropriates $20,000 to be expended during tne fiscal year ending Jun?30,1891, in the place of $100,000, wbfch was named in the original bill, as it is estimated that that amount is all that will be required during that period for the expense of admission of foreign go*-'-*" for exhibition. tion 16 limits the cost of government buildings to the sum of $400,000 and appropriates $100,000 of that amount for the remainder of this fiscal year and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891

Section 17 appropriates 1200,000 for the purpose of paying the expenses of the

guildi-1,

overnment exhibit, maintenance of its and for the expenses of the and other contingent expenses, all subject to the approval of the secretary of the treasury of the United Htates for the remainder «f the fiscal year ending June 30, .1801, and limits the ex penditureof the government hereafter, Jor all purposes connected with the ex position, to the sum of $1,500,000.

Section 18 provides for the payment of the actual expenses of the commissioners while necessarily absent from their homes on the business of the commission and for the compensation of the officers of the commission, subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury

The committee would call attention to the fact that citizens of Chicago offer larger and more generous contribution to this nation for the inauguration of a national and international exposition than was ever proffered by private citizens before, and larger than ever offered by any foreign government or city in the

great mternatioual expositions previously held. In the financial plan of the great Paris exposition, which is now claimed to have been the most successful in the world, an agreement was made between the French minister of commerce, the prefect of the Seine, representing tbe city of Paris, and the governor general of the credit foncier in behalf of the Guarantee association, stipulating that the contributions should aggregate $8,600,000. The city of Chicago guarantees to satisfy the commission that it will provide without the aid of the national government the sum of $10,000,000. The committee would also call attention to the fact that the estimated cost for all purposes, for the Paris exposition was $8,000,000 with a reserve ftfnd of $600,000 to provide for contingencies, and for possible modifications in tbe original plans, and it believes that the $10,000,000 with the site to be provided by tbe city of Chicago, is ample for all purposes for a fair in this country.

In addition to buildings erected by the government of the United States and the city of Chicago for the Exposition, we nmy reasonably anticipate that many of the states of the Union, the dominion of Canada, Mexico, the Central and South American Republics and the governments of Europe will erect commodious buildings for their own exhibits. About fifty companies were represented at the Paris exposition, and we may confidently expect an increased interest and a larger representation in the Columbian exposition. The Argentine Republic appropriated $1,000,000 and the Republic of Mexico $1,200,000 for the buildings and exhibits of their respective countries.

Secretary Windom estimates that $822,000 will be necessary for the government exhibit and the secretary of agriculture adds $250,000, and wants a special building. In his communication Secretary Laugley, of the Smithsonian Institute, (who places his estimate at $585,500,) says that in the ^fourteen years which have elapsed since the Philadelphia exhibition, the standards have completely changed and the government exiibits at Philadelphia, wnich were admirable for the *tune, and thoroughly satisfactory to all visitors, would fall far below the expectations of the present. In conclusion, is attached a statement from Senator Farwell, saying that the subseriptionefto the fair fund are bona fide and will be paid.

TXXE FCXEBAU OF THE DEAD FIREHEX THIS ArTEBSOOS.

Several Terr* Haotc Firemen Go Over to Attend—Jacksonville, fla.,

Mayor Sulli van visited the ruins soon after the crash, and a half hour later or dered the iron front of the Bowen-Mer-rill building torn ddVn. This was the signal for another outbreak of excitement, and by the time the work was begun a large crowd had gathered to witness the sight People were almost frenzied with excitement and the crowds were extremely restless.

Soon after the front wall of the Bo wenMerrill building fell the Becker building occupied by a notion store collapsed. It was a narrow four story building and had been badly weakened by tbe fall of the Bowen-Merrill building. The Sloane building adjoining the Becker on the west is now considered unsafe and there is more or less fear that the H. P. Wasson dry goods house may sucumb.

Hoon after the Decker building fell flames shot up from the wreck and the fire department was again called out. The flames assumed alarming proportions at one time in spite of plenty of water being thrown into the ruins. The fire burned until a late hour last night. Tbe body Of fireman Henry Woodruff who went down in Monday's wreck has not yet been recovered and is still somewhere under the debris. The search for the body still continues.

the accident J£. P. Bicknell, housekeeping notions, sustains a loss of $10,000 George W. Sloan, druggist, $1,000, and several stocks of goods have been more or less damaged.

The funerals of the dead firemen occurred to-day. The subscriptions for the relief of their families are growing rapidly and approximate $8,000. The following firemen catfie over from Terr© Haute to attend the funerals: James Coughlin, Oliver IleBS, Daniel Weldsle, John Osterloo, Richard Barrett, Frank Fedderson, Ren Early and James Burk, Walter Bell, John McClellan, Patrick Lahey, Thomas Boland, Chief Kennedy and Assistant Chief Tully. Each fireman who attended has secured a substitute. They arrived at 10 a. m. and expect to return this evening.

A committee of architects and engineefs, appointed by Mayor Sullivan, to day ordered that H. P. Wasson & Co.'s and the Sloan drug building be pulled down. They stand intact on either side of the wreck "of the Bowen-Merrill and Becker buildings. Insurance men threaten to enjoin this work, but the Mayor has ordered it done.

JACKSONVILLE'S BLAZE.

$123,000 Fire There at an Early Hoar TIIIM Morning. JACKSONVILLE, FI.A.,March 20.—Liben thal's immense store and warehouse, E. Bamden's Colisseum, and eight cot* tages in the 1-avella suburb ot this city were destroyed by fire at 3:30 this morning, entailing a loss of $125,000. The fire caught in Lidenthal's block and from there spread with such fearful rapidity that the fire department stood no chance of coping with it and the flames leaped/across the street destroying a row of two-story cottages, the inmates all having narrow escapes, fleeing to the street in their night clothes and losing everything. The occupants of houses two and three blocks distant in all directions hecame alarmed and hurried their household goods into the streets. For several blocks on all sides furniture from hundreds of deserted houses was piled up in the streets or scattered about in yards while the half dressed* owners stood about viewing the ruins of their homes. Most of the cottages are fully insured. At 4:30 this morning the Elgin House, isomer of Julia and Ashley streets, burned, having caught from the first fire. The house was badly gutted. It was used a boarding house bv E. H. Algol* and valued at $4,000. Alger's insurance on one house and furniture, $3,900

VOORHEES ON THE FARMER.

The Latter** Only Hope or Keller to to Vote tbe Democratic Ticket. WASHINGTON, March 20.—Mr. Voorbees yesterday addressed the Senate in relation to his resolution of Monday last regarding the agricultural depression of the country. In the course of his remarks he said:

It was now nearlv thirty years since the close of a terrible war had given to unhallowed avarice an opportunity to prey upon the self sacrificing patriots of the country, such as had never before been presented to the passions and the most sordid and odious vice. The measures then resorted to for the taxation of one class of citizens and for the enrichment of another class, had been the legislation by which the burden of tbe public debt had been doubled, silver demonetized and a high protective tariff established. He characterized tbe protective tariff as a curse and not a blessing. He was dealing not with a theory but with a condition which even a blind man could look at and draw from it an unerring conclusion. JFhe farmers of the United States to-day did not receive, on an average, nlbre than ten cents a bushel for tfieir corn, fifty cents for their wheat and from two to three cents a pound for their hogs. Tbe time would come, at a distant day, when the farmer would look on the proposition to tax him and bis wife and children for tbe protection and benefit of other people besides himself as he would look on a law of congress to establish tbe army worm and weevil on his wheat, to infest his hogs with cholera. Every pretense of a home market for the farmer was a fraud, and every pretense of taxing wheat and oats and potatoes for his benefit was a cheat and a sham. It was a notorious and self-evident truth that the tariff, as it now stood, increased the farmer's expense account from 35 to 100 per cent, on every implement of industry, with which he toiled and last year has been enhanced to 18 cents a

Se

mnd by tbe tariff and the twine trust, did not believe that the hands of the farmer would hold a Republican ticket at the next presidential election. He declared that not only had there been no increase in the value of land for the last quarter of a century, but there had been an absolute loss of S3 per cent If the improved farm lands of the United States were put to sale to-day, under the most favorable circumstances, they would not, ho said, on a general average* realize more than two-thirds of what their value had been twenty-five years ago. The farms of the State of Ohio were now under mortgage to the amount of three hundred million dollars. In the state of Illinois things were no better, the mortgages in that State amounting to four hundred and two million dollars. Twen-

tar-three per cent, of the whole State of Iuinois was under mortgage. The State of Michigan was still worse. Forty-seven aer cent, of the whole surface of that State was under mortgage. In the States of Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and the whole Northwest, from 20 to 60 per cent of the farm lands were under mortgage at such rates of interest as the farmers could never pay out of their crops, to say nothing of the principle. The farmers were thus brought face to face with the loss of their homes, with ruin, and hundreds of thousands of them were standing in that attitude at the present day and hour. Nor were the farmers of New England different in that respect from those of. the Western states. The remedies to be applied were: First, tariff reform second, a full supply of legal fender money third, the free coinage of silver fourth," the suppression, by law, of gambling in futures fifth, a liberal policy of pensions.

The Telephone In Germany The telephone service is admirable, as is testified by the public appreciation, there being over 10,000 instruments in use in Berlin. There are no private telephone companies in Germany, the telephone, like the telegraph, being a branch of the postal service. The price for telephone service is low, the annual charge for an instrument being 120 marks, or something less than §30. The long distance service between the principal cities of the empire is being rapidly introduced. A telegram received for a person who has a telephone is at once delivered orally from the central office, mid the written message then forwarded by the local post Likewise a telegram is transmitted by the sender to the telegraph office by telephone. The telephones in use are manufactured by Siemens & Halske, the great electricians, and are Said to be a great improvement upon the Bell patent, upon which they are based.—Cor, Mexican Financier.

^5-' istfeA Permit for Smoking, Nowadays Germany might well be called smokers' home." Every German has his pipe and can smoke when* ever he will, and within certain limits wherever he will. There are no restrictions against the use of tobacco, and one's desires in that direction are only circumscribed to particular places—such as churches, lecture room&, opera houses, etc. But at one time in certain parts of Germany a man dare not walk on the street or highway with a pipe in his mouth without special permission so to do, for which petvrissiou he paid a yearly stipend.—Buffalo CommerciaL

THE NEWS ABOUT THE CITY.

TWO SHALL BOYS ARRESTED FOR DBI XK £\X£SS LAST A'IGIIT.

William Cbristenberry and Xoeea Bayea, Both Under A«e—A Horrible Seen* in Happy Alley —Tlae Hanxane Soeloty.

Last night a laige crowd of men gathered in front of Fleming's livery stable on Main street to see two boys, drunker than lords, loaded into the patrol wagon and driven awav to jail, The boys gave their names as Moses Bayes ana Wm Christenberry, and were arrested in Barney Sweeny's saloon, where they had gone for more beer or whisky. It is said that Mr. Sweeny refused to sell them anything.

Just where these lads got their liquor is a question that Tits NEWS is unable to answer. Rumor has it that they drank in "Camp 20," on Poplar street, but the story has no foundation in fact so far as known. The boys came up in police court this morning before the arrival of the reporters, and what was done toward finding out where the liquor was purchased is not known. In any event, the boys were released. It is reported that they claimed to have been furnished their whisky by a man from Prairieton who had the article in a bottle.

A SCENE IN HAPPY ALLEY.

An Ynbappy Woman Who Had Been Roughly Handled. It was two o'clock this morning when a NEWS reporter came through Pearl street, or "Happy Alley" as it is more frequently called, in his search for news, The place is desolate and forsaken enough in day time, but at night it is simply unbearable. The place was almost deserted and at one end of "the alley" the reporter saw alight and walking up to the rickety fence peered through the dirty panes into the room beyond. The scene was a wierd one. A grim visaged man sat on a stool and opposite him sat a boy about 16 years of age. The duet was apparently father ana son. They were busily engaged in a game of cards. There was a small pile of change lying on the end of the box on which the game was being played, and they were evidently gambling.

The writer did not wait to see what they were doing, but turned to look into another window on the other side of the street, On a dirty bed in one corner of the room was a young woman who was quite pretty in spite of her dirty face. Her eyes were swollen from weeping and her countenance bore marks of intense pain and long suffering. The reporter watched her for some minutes before she moved. Her face was almost buried in a pillow and only once did she raise her head. .Then a sight met the writer's gaze that startled and horrified him. Her clothing was bady torn and across her breast was along deep cut that bore the appearance of having been made by some dull instrument. The blood was slowly oozing from the wound, and the whole presented a wierd and ghastly sight.

The writer instinctively looked around to see who could have so injured this young woman. Under the far corner of the bed, lying on the floor, was a man lying on his back and apapparently ciblivious to all that was RoinK on around him. lie seemed to be in a drunken stupor and no doubt had came home crazed with liquor and abused the woman in the shameful manner above described. There was a question as to whether the woman was his wife or not as the reporter did not care to make inquiries, but at all events it was a most brutal afftir and the fellow should be handled by the law.

There will be a meeting of the society for the prevention of cruelty to children and animals in the parlors of the Baptist Chapel Friday evening for the purpose of reorganizing under the new articles of incorporation. All the members of the a&ociation are urgently requested to be present.

GERMANY'S NEW CHANCELLOR.

He Will Innnjrnrate Some Change* hat on a Peaeefnl Bants. LOXIKW, March 20.—The Times Berlin correspondent says: "The emperor has a chance to study General von Capri vi's character during the maneuvers last autumn, aud decided to follow the idea of Frederick the Great, thai a general is the beet conductor of a foreign policy because he best knows how far he can go with tbe army behind him. Although a soldier of the first order, Caprivi, in the opinion of all his intimates, is very much more and if personal appearance counts for anything, be is a man of great force of character and will, combining in a high decree suaviter in tnodo, with fortiter intre, blending sagacity with patience. ^TheTagbl

WARRANTING FIREARMS.

Revpoa*

An Snterestins Suit Showtn the klbillt of a Staler iu lUfli A sportsman has recovered £1,000 damages from a firm in London for breach of warranty as to a rifle purchased by the plaintiff. The case was settled in court, after the plaintiifs case had been opened and a certain amount of evidence called, by the defendants submitting to a verdict of £1,000 and costs. Theeresult of this compromise was that certain interesting issues and legal points in the case were not threshed out. What those points were will be seen from a sketch of the cause of action.

The plaintiff is Mr. F. HallowellCarew, a gentleman on the sunny side of thirty, and possessed of considerable private means. He has gone in freely for sport since attaining his majority he has figured in the pigskin between the flags, and in 1888 he bethought himself of that reputed sportsman's Eden, Southeast Africa, and its resources of big game. The defendants are Rowland Ward & Co., the naturalists and taxidermists of Piccadilly. Mr. Carew, prior to starting on his African trip, visited Messrs. Ward's establishment and took some lessons in skinning animals.

In the course of conversation with Mr. Ward he mentioned that he contemplated obtaining his rifles from Holland's, the well known gunmakers, and one of the Ward firm thereupon volunteered to him that they could supply him with the weapons which he would need, of equal quality to those which he could obtain at Holland's, but at half the price. Mr. Carew accordingly consented to deal with them, and ordered from them the rifles which they suggested for his own use, together with the five-and-twenty Sniders for the use of his African native staff he also bought his ammunition from the defendants.

The rifles were delivered to him, the invoice being made out in the name of the defendants. He then took the rifles down to Nunhead to test them as to sighting, and on that occasion, and not previously, according to his evidence, the name of some third party as the manufacturer of them was mentioned to him by some one speaking on behalf of defendants. The trial with the rifles satisfled him he fired from the one which was the cause of action about ten trial shots. He did not personally inform himself as to the charge which he used in the trials but it seems that he used ammunition supplied by the defendants, and similar to that which he was taking from them for his use in Africa.

In due time Mr. (Jarew sailed for Zanzibar, and started up country, spending about £1,000 on his trip. Before long one of these rifles burst in his hands, causing him most serious injury, maim ing him and disfiguring him more or less for life. His left hand is perma nently crippled powder has burned into the skin of his face, aud his hearing has been impaired by the explosion. His trip was, of course, spoiled by the catastrophe, and the outlay upon it was wasted. It appears that he had fired the rifle which had burst some dozen times after he reached Africa. On the occasion of the accident it was loaded with a cartridge supplied by defendants. An expert examination of the burst rifle disclosed the cause of its weakness. The hole for the extractor pin had been in the first instance bored into the wall of the barrel.

The workman had then plugged the hole with steel wire and had rebored the hole. The effect of tjais boring had been to make the barrel d«s?ective in strength, leaving only one-sixty-fourth of an inch of metal where there should have been one-eighth. The explosion was due to this defective workmanship, according to the expert evidence of Mr. S. B. All port, the celebrated gunmaker, who is also chairman of the Birmingham proof board.—London Field.

NAPOLEON

IVES AT LIBERTY.

He i» Oat of Jail 2?ow and Want* to del Into Wall Street. NEW YQHK, March 20.—Napoleon Henry 8. Ives regained bis liberty yesterday, and he will probably take a contemplative and retrospective stroll in Wall street in the next few days. Partner George H. Stayner, who gave bail on Saturday, managed the jail delivery for Partner Ives. At 3:30 Partner Stayner, looking even more like the late Henry Ward Beecber than usual, because of the unusual length of his long hair, entered the district attorney's office escorting a farmer-like, elderly m«n, who bad the air of a lamb being led to the slaughter. He proved to be Ives' prospective bondsman.
