ABSOLUTELY PURE
MALCONTENTS OF SPAIN.
A FEMALE FURY DECLARES FOR A
BLOODY REVOLUTION,
The Authorities Alarmed — Hundreds of
Pounds of Dynamite Stolen From
tho Mines—The Suspected,
Madrid, Jan. 2.—Fifteen hundred anarch-
ists held a reunion last evening in Barcelona
to celebrate the new year. There was much
incendiary talk, and several of tho speakers
predicted a reign of bloodshed and terror in
Spain during the year just oponed. A lead-
ing anarchist, ono Molas, declared that ho
meant to inaugurate 1893 with a baptism of
blood. There were great shouts of approval
and torrents of denunciation of tho grandeo
and middle class world.
A female anarchist, named Thoress Claro-
rnont, sprang to the platform. She is as
fierce an enemy of the established order of
thiygs as Louise Michel, and
a oood deal handsomer.
"Go home," she cried, with Hashing eyoa
and tossing hair. "Go home for tho present
and save the centimes our oppressors allow
you to earn while tli>ey revel in wealth—save
the wretchod pittance to buy rifles, and pre-
pare to execute on the blood-sucking capital-
ists arid their miserablo tools the destruction
prepared for them in the anarchist pro-
gram."
Howls and shouts of aDplause broke in on
the words of the speaker.
"Give them no quarter," she cried, "no
quarter. 1 will load to tho points of the bay-
onets."
The whole audience seemed frenzied by tho
woman's wild utterances, and th«>ro might
have been a dangerous demonstration but for
tho interference of sorno cooler heads, who
succeeded in calming the excited gathering.
The authorities have not attempted to inter-
fere with the inovemont, which they behove to
bo fomented by
french, combined with spanish anarchists.
The authorities have made extraordinary
preparations, however, for tho possibility of
an uprising, and the garrison of Barcelona
has been greatly strengthened and the num-
ber of sentinels at public buildings increased.
The minister of tho interior has received in-
formation that soveral hundred pounds of dy-
namite has disappeared from tho depot in the
mines of Linares in tho south of Spain. The
local poiice have not yet discovered tho
thieves nor tho direction they took with tho
explosives.
The authorities continue to receive threat-
ening anonymous letters, both hero and in the
provinces.
The police are closely watching tho anar-
chists in every part of Spain and particularly
at Valencia, which is regarded as an active
center of the anarchist movernont. A circu-
lar has been sent to provincial authorities
containing instructions for their guidance.
The Saar Miners.
Berlin, Jan. 2.—The authorities are consid-
erably agitated by the serious character of the
strike of coal miners in the Saar district and
yesterday four battalions of the Twenty-ninth
and Sixty-ninth regulars, and a largo force of
gendarmes wero ordered to the scene of dis-
turbance. Tho nuinbor of strikers has in-
creased rnpidiy, and now they numbor about
2200. Many of them have arms, and serious
rioting is reported at soveral points in the dis-
trict.
The leadors of the strikers have forced
thousands to join them who would havo pre-
ferred to remain at work, and their object ap-
pears to bo not so much to obtain an alleviation
of the conditions under which they havo been
emnloyod as to incito an insurrection.
The authorities have received information
that socialist and anarchist agitators are be-
hind the movement and tho kaiser has given
orders that all lawlessness must bo promptly
suppressed at any cost. The military are un-
der instructions to enforce order without
mercy for rioters and to protect those who wish
to work in returning to the mines. The authori-
ties hope that with sulticient military and po-
lico protection there will be no difficulty in
getting the mines into working order again.
The rioters, it is said, will be suppressed if it
takes an army corns to crush them.
Policy o" Chile.
Valparaiso, Jan. 2.—The Valparaiso Her-
ald prints an authoritative statement of the
general and foreign policy of the government
of President Montt. The congress and cabinet
are engaged in framing laws which will
tranquilizo Chile and re-establish tho country
on a firm basis and maintain quiet. It is tho
intention of tho government to do anything
in its power to prove to the world that Chile
is the foromost South American republic and
justify tho fact that her credit is higher than
that of any of her sisters in the financial
centers of the world. Chile, it is announced,
will never act in an aggressive manner toward
her neighbors, but will always bo reauy to aid
them in preserving their autonomy and plac-
ing themselves in such a position as to be free
from wild outbursts of revolution, to which
many of thom aro now liable. The idea of
war between Argentina and Chile is said to be
absurd.
31. Loubet 1 ntei'vfewed.
Marseilles, Jan. 2.—Le Petit Marseillais
publishes an interview with M. Loubet as to
the attitude of tho chamber toward tho
Panama canal scandal. Loubet says tho
chamber rushed headlong, without considera-
tion or preparation, into the Panama inquiry.
Doubtless the scandal was bad onough, but
the bad judgment of the chamber had fostered
erroneous conceptions among tiio peopio of
its Umaunitude. Such an excessive outburst of
prudery must have its reaction and thus defeat
its own ends. Unless great care and tact are
exorcised constantly in the next few weeks
men who behaved so fanatically might havo
startling proofs of the errors into which they
had fallen and caused others to fail. Every
effort must bo made to wind up the wholo
Panama affair before next March in order
that engagements in connection with tho stato
debt might bo strictly fulfilled.
Lord Mayor of Dublin.
Dublin, Jan. 2.—The new lord mayor of
Dublin was installed in office to-day with all
the pomp and ceremony that anciently at-
tended tho taking of tho office by tho city's
chief dignitary. Interest was added to tho
ceremonies by tho presence of tho lord mayor ;
of London as a guost of Dublin's lord mayor, j

Cairo, Jan. 2.—Tho dervishes in southern
Egypt are displaying renewed activity. On
Saturday a large party of them attacked the 1
village of Gomai, near Wady Haifa, but wore
repulsed after a fierce fight in which several
were killed. Before they couid be drivon off,
however, they cut a numbor of telegraph wires
and did other mischief.
On Sunday a second attaol. was made on
Gemai, but tho raidors were again driven olf,
after a number of them had been killed. The
•second attack on the village was made by a
different baud from that driven off Saturday.

gal.

Serious Rioting in Holland.
Amsterdam, Jan. 2.—Tho unemployed of

ing to-day and after listening to sevoral an-
archist speeches began rioting in the streets.
They visited all the finest houses,

spicuous residents of t» town. When tho
police approached the rioters attacked them
with sticks and stones. A rioter was shot
dead by a policeman at whom he was aiming

unconsciousness and many rioters wounded.
About thirty rioters wore arrested.

DEFINITE CONCLUSIONS.
AN EiiF.LY EXTRA SESSION DEPEND-
ENT UPON NECESSITY.
Not Favored UulesB to Raise Additional
Ravenua—The Whisky Tax Ono
Easy to be Increased.
Washington, Jan. 2.—Tho rocent confer-
ence betweon tho president-elect aud Speaker
Crisp was expected to result in sorno author-
ized announcement on the subject of an extra
session. While these anticipations havo not
been realized, as Speaker Crisp has studiously
refrained from giving out any statement as to
what passed between Mr. Cleveland and him-
soif, something in the natureof astatomenton
"good authority" is boingpassed around amoug
democratic leaders. This runs to the effect that
while no final decision will bo made on tho
question of an extra session of congress until
February, by which time the cabinet of Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland will probably have been
selected, the probabilities are decidedly
against an extra session before next autumn.
Mr. Cleveland, it is stated, has said to demo-
cratic leaders in congress that he will call
congress together in special sossion. Ho has
also told them, it is reported, that it would not
bo convoned before autumn unless tho finan-
cial situation and
condition of the treasury
made it absolutely imperative that congress
should meet in the spring to provide the gov-
ernment With the necessary amount of revenue
to meet its expenses. Ho wished to avoid tho
necessity of an early extraordinary session.
Very soon after tho holiday rccess the sub-
committee of the house committee on ways
and means appointed to investigate tho con-
dition of the treasury will begin its work. On
the rosuit of its investigation may possibly
depond the time at which congress will bo
called together. A conclusion on the part of
a majority of the sub-committee that there
will be an actual deficit in tho treasury unless
additional revonuo be raised, might induco
Mr. Cleveland, it is thought to altar his
views with reference to an oxtra sossion in
the spring but no other consideration that
will bring about such a result is now fore-
see n.
It is the opinion of some leading democrats
in the house that tho investigation will show
treasury receipts and expenditures
very nearly equal,
and thero is gravo reason to fonr an excess
of tho latter in the coming fiscal year. By the
ond of this month the sub-committee's work
of investigation will either bo concluded or
far enough in progress to permit the demo-
cratic members to acquaint Mr. Cleveland
with tho situation and their conclusions as to
tho future, so that his final decision
with reference to an extra session
may be based on full information
as to the treasury conditions which will con-
front his administration the first year or year
and a half of its existence. It is because of
the possibility of a close approximation be-
tween revenues and expenditures that some
serious attention is being paid by democratic
members to the proposition to increase tho
whisky tax. This will be an easy method of
raising additional mouey, and Mr. Sprmger
and his associates will take it under advise-
ment if the result of their investigation dis-
closes a call for moro revenue.
National Ouarantlno Rill.
Washington, Dec. 28.—The 6ub-committeo
having charge of tho subject of establishing a
national quarantine, Mr. Isidore Rayner of
Maryland, chairman, have agreed upon a bill
which they will report to the full couimitteo
at its next regular meeting, aftor tho recess on
Friday woek. The bill agreed on is a combi-
nation of Senator Harris' senate bill of tho
measure introduced iu the house by Mr. Ray-
ner. It puts the national quarantino system
into tho hands of the hospital service of tho
revenuo marine. Its leading provisions aro:
1. That wherover state quarantine regula-
tions exist tho hospital service of tho revenue
marine, under the direction of tho treasury
department, shall havo tho power to enforce
tho laws and regulations of the different
states.
2. Where there are no state quarantine reg-
ulations. or where, in the opinion of the
marina nor.pital service, the quarantine regu-
lations of tho United States aro not sufficient
to prevent the introduction of contagious
diseases into tho United States, tho marine
hospital servico shall report tho facts to the
secretary of the treasury, who, if in his judg-
ment it) is necessary, shall order tho marine
hospital service to make such additional rules
and regulations as aro necessary to prevent the
introduction of such diseases into the United
States from foreign countries or into one state
from another state.
3. Whenevor it shall bo shown to tho satis-
faction of the president that by roason of the
existence of any infectious disease in a for-
eign country there is sorious danger of the in-
troduction of the same into tho United States,
then, in such case, tho president may, for the
tune being, suspend immigration until all
danger of infection has passed.
The bill further provided for consular in-
spection at foreign ports by sanitary exports
in consular offices, who are to supervise tho
inspection and disinfection of all vessels leav-
ing infected ports. _
The Disease in Arkansas.
Washington, Jan. 2—Tho marine hospital
sorvice has kept posted as to tho progress of
tho disease among the convicts at Little Rock
and has taken steps to determine its nature.
Acting Assistant Surgeon Gibson, at Little
Rock, wired the facts so far as known to Sur-
geon General Wyman Saturday night. The
information contained in Surgeon General
Wymau's dispatch, howovor, waB practically
that in published reports, and Dr. Wyman
immediately wired for further and moro
detailed facts. Tho information received was
of a gravo enough charactor to demand inves-
tigation, and Surgeon General Wyman ordered
Assistant Surgeon General Gibson to proceed
at once to Little Rock. Surgeon General
Giddings left Thursday, and will make
thorough examination and ascertain tho exact
nature of the fatal disease. Surgeon General
Wyman docliued to express an opinion as to
tho naturo of the malady; but 6aid ho had no
information as yet which would cause any
apprehonsiou. He regards tho fact
that there are no cases *at Helena
where tho disease first made its appearance
as boing important, and though he has made
ovory effort in that directiou, no connection
between the cases and any immigrants has
beeu established. It was at first thought tho
malady might have its origin in cars in which
the men lived. Investigation, however,
provod the cars to havo been in use for that

Senator Keuna'.t Disease.
Washington, Jan. 2.—Senator Kenna of
West Virginia, who has boon seriously ill for
several weeks from a complication of dis- |
eases, but who has recently been considered I
out of danger, had a relapse yesterday and his I
family believed he could not survive the night. I
This morning he was slightly better, but not 1
sufficiently to allay fcan, and the gravest ap-
prehensioDs.ai'o Senator Kcnna's dn*
ease is that of the heart from which he has
been suffering upward of two years.
The Census Report.
Washington, Jan. 2.—All work ou tho
eleventh census will bo completed and tho
muttor turned over to the secretary of the in-
terior by tho ulst of December, 1893, This
will bo required by the appropriation bill now
being framed by tho house sub-committee, of
which Mr. Sayors of Texas is chairman. A
ciauso providing that tho work be complotod
by the end of the year meets with the appro-
bation of Superintendent Porter, who says it
can be done in that time.
Congress appropriated money for the tenth
census at as late a date as 1885, and the publi-
cation.* wero not all distributed until after tho
present census was organized, tho last two
volumes being sent out as late as 1880. The
tenth census cost in round numbers about
$5,000,000 and the present will cost about
$8,100,000, the increase being largely duo to
the enlargod f.cope of tho census. Up to date
the cost of the census has been $7,200,000.
Explosion of (his.
Washington, Jan. 2.—An explosion occurred
this morning iri front of the rosidouee of ox-
Secretary Blaino on Lafayette square. The
report could be heard in the house, but only
faintly and did not disturb Mr. Blaine, who
was asloop at the time. Tho explosion was
caused by leaky gas mains which filled an elec-
tric conduit with illuminating gas, and coming
in contact with an imperfectly insulated wiro,
set the gas afire. The conduit was cracked for
squares and manholes blown open. No one,
fortunately, was injured.
Agricultural Literature.
Washington, Jan. 2.—One of the most
valued publications ever published by the gov-
ernment is the report on the sheep industry of
tho United States prepared under the direc-
tion of the secretary of agriculture. It treats
of the history and conditions of tho industry
from the early settlomentof the country down
to tho present day, and is handsomely illus-
trated. It bids fair to rival in popularity the
work on diseases of the horse, published by
the department some time since. It is for
distribution by tho socrctary and through
members of congress.
Fx-Seeretary Rlnine.
Washington, Jan. 2.—"Mr. Blaino is not so
woll as he was yesterday," said Dr. Johnston
this evening. "Mr. Blaine," Dr. Johnston
said, "has not, however, suffered a relapso
such as that which occurred fifteen days ago.
Mr. Blame is simply not so woll ns ho was on
Sunday. Mr. Blaine has good and bad clays
like most other invalids. There is nothing in
his present condition to excite alarm."
At 11 o'clock tho light in Blaine's room was
extinguished, and the remainder of tho house
was in semi-darkness. An attendant at the
door said Mr. Blaine was about the samo.
Sooners' Sentence Commuted.
Washington, Jan. 2.—Tho president has

tho jail at Guthrie, Ok., tho sontonco
of ono year's imprisonment in the Minnesota
stato penitentiary, imposed in the cases of

"sooner" Jand cases.
Private Secretary Hal ford.
Washington, Jan. 2.—A report was pub-
lished this morning that the president had de-
cided to appoint Private Secretary Hal ford
a major in the paid carps of the army pro-
vided a vacancy shall occur before Hie end

ford was not awaro of any auch intention on
tho part of the president.
Spenlier Crisp Not Well.
Washington, Jan. 2.—Dr. Sowers paid this
morning that ho is attending Speaker Crisp
for an attack of indigestion. Tho doctor said

boon well since his return from New York
Saturday morning.
SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE.
A Sensational Shooting in St. Louis Will
End in Divorce Proceedings.
St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 2.—A scandal in high
life culminated hero to-night iu H. H. Mor-
gan, son of Garfield's minister to Mexico,
shooting his wife's brother-in-law, William
Barrett, and seriously wounding him.
Mr. Morgan married here somo years ago tho
daughter of Colonel W. P. Edgorton, a capi-
talist. It was a runaway marriage. Lovo
cooled as children came. Of four only ono
now lives. Recently Morgan accused his wife
ol int imacy with sevoral swellest clubmen of the
city, ono of them a woll known singor, and
left his home for a hotel. A few days later
the child was stolen by Morgan and taken, ho
says, to Paris. Mrs. Morgan took legal ad-
vico and yesterday Morgan was ar-
rested for abandonment and abduc-
tion. He gave bond and to-day
he and Barrott met. A quarrel ensued which
ended in Morgan shooting Barrett in tho face,
the ball lodging in tho back of the head. Mor-
gan is in jail. His wifo will bring a divorce
suit to-morrow, alleging desertion, etc. Mor-
gan's cross bill will introduce, it is said, fivo
of the be.--t known society men in tho city as
co-respondents to his proceedings.
THE CHOLERA.
Cases at Hamburg Since Saturday Morn-
ing.

ent at Hamburg says that one case of ehoiora
was reported in that ctty on Saturday and an-
other on Sunday and that three deaths havo

Failed to Find Arsenic.
Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 2.—Dr. Charles
O'Burtman, the St. Louis chemist who ex-
amined the viscera taken from the bodies of
two of the penitentiary convicts who woro
thought to have received arsenic in their food
at Holena, Ark., two weeks ago, reports to tho
mayor to-day after eight tests that he faiiod to
find even a trace of arsenic and says he thinks
death was caused from a type of cholera.
Thirty-fivo convicts are still sick, but are
doing well. Tho city has quarantined against
tho penitentiary, although the attondmg physi-
cians say tho diseaso is not contagious.
British Grain Trado.
London, Jan. 2.—The Mark Lano Exprons
in its wookly review of the British grain trade
says: Owing to small deliveries English
whoat is in increased demand and prices aro
better. Another week's frost will probably
causo values to increase Is tJd. A review of
last year's trade shows a fall during tho year
of Is 7d per quarter. Russian and red winter
Cd and fine white foreign lid dearer.
Typhus Fever.
New York, Jan. 2.—Five now cases of typhus
fever were reported to-day, making forty-eight
cases since December 1. All were from 34
Bayard street, except one at Ward's island.

Suggestion That Anti-Monopoly Men Gat
Together Without Regard to Party.
Chased tho Oounty Clerk.
THEY CAUGHT ON.
There is a land that flows with milk aud honey-
Not the condensed, nor yet tho sorghum strains-
Each dweller bears a gripsack fat with money,
Bonds, coupons, stock and various other gain?.
Happy are those, as at high tide tho fishes;
No tear doth drown tho laughter in their eyes;
For better luck they have no sort of wishes;
Tho gold is theirs—they lea mod to advertise.
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 2.—On Tuesday at Lin-
coln there will open one of the prettiest three-
cornered fights ever witnessed in a legislative
session. Neither of the three parties has
sufficient strength to organize either house of
the Twenty-third Nebraska general assembly
without aid from one of tho other two, and so
tar no plan of fusion or combination has been
presented that meets the approval of parties
interested. It seeuis quite probable, how-
ever, that tho democrats and independents
may got together.
In addition to the election of United States
senator to succeed Senator Paddock, tho leg-
islature will be called upon to deal with im«
| portant railroad legislation nnd other matters
of vital interest to the state. From this reasou
comes the desire for control of the organiza-
tion of the house, as the party holding tho
organization can control legislation. It is
suggested that the anti-monopoly members of
the legislature, irrespective of party, organize
the body and let tho senatorial tight tako care
of itseif.
One of the peculiar features is the situation
in Knox county. By tho decision of the su-
preme court, rendered Saturday, a republican
will be sent to the house from that county in-
stead of an independent. To accomplish tins
it is nccessary to serve tho court's writ on the
county clerk of Knox county. When the
baihlf reached Niobrara, tho county seat, on
Saturday evening ho found that tho county
clerk, an independent, ha:l been warned of
his coming and decamped. A bailiff is now
busy chasing the fugitive clerk from place to
place in orucr to obtain sorvice on him. But
it is too late to comply with the court's order
and havo the republican member present at
tho opening session. Unless tho combination
last mentioned is made effective tho house
and senate will probably spend a week in
getting organized.
Work Cut Out.
Omaiia, Nob., Jan. 2.—At tho session of tho
Twenty-third Nebraska general assembly
which convenes to-morrow at Lincoln, the
chief business will bo tho adoption of railroad
legislation. This has long been a vital issue
in Nebraska campaigns and has been tho
subject of much bitter discussion through tho
press and on tho stump. Four years ago a
maximum roto bill was dofeated in com-
mittee. Two years ago, when tho independents
had an overwhelming majority in the house
and a working majority in the senate, they
passed a bill so sweeping in its provisions that
Governor Boyd, although an advocate of rail-
road regulation, was constrained to veto it.
It was pavsed by tho house over his veto and
went to tho senate. Here was enacted one of
the boldest pieces of lobbying ever known.
The opponents of tho bill, knowing it would
pass unless something unusual occurred,
kidnapped Senator Taylor of Louis county,
put him on on engine and hurried him out of
the stato into Iowa. Then under a call of tho
house the senate wa.j in deadlook session two
days, and finally tho biii failed to pass.
This ui'.'aHuro will probably be introduced
again, but the fact that tho independents aro
not so strong numerically and aro more con-
servative iu their demands indicates that what-
ever raiiroad legislation is passed
will not bk of a drastic nature.
The law regulating public ei9vators will bo
amended and some elTort to regulate stock
yards bo made.
The Australian ballot law will bo modified
in some of its minor details and made moro
efficacious.
Also tho stato revenuo laws will bo so
amended as to secure a more uniform system
of taxation and assessment.
Bills regulating telegraph and telephone
companies are ready for introduction: also
measures for tho better control of state
banks, and to punish usury.
Some agitation looking to the Abolition of
capital punishment is heard, but it is likely to
have no eirect.
An amendment to the eight hour law, in-
tended to make it operative, will also bo
passed, and modifications to tho replevin law
and law of attachment. In addition to these,
there is tho duty of electing a successor to
Senator Paddock, whoso term expires March 1
next. This contest attracts much inter-
est from tho fact that neither party has
a majority on joint ballot, tho democrats
having the balance of power. There aro nu-
merous aspirants in tho liokl and a very warm
time is looked for before Paddock's successor
is named. With minor legislation, ouch as
making additional appropriations for tho
world's fair fund, etc., the session promises to
bo a very busy one.
Tho Struggle In Kansas.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 2.—The intonsity of in-
terest in the fight for senator in Kansas has
practically overshadowed questions of legisla-
tion. All that has been said and written
about the coming session since election had
reference to tho selection of Senator Perkins'
successor rather than to tho passage, amend-
ment or repeal of laws. The legislature does
not opon until a wook hence, and all matters
regarding its organization and probable ac-
tion aro in a chaotic state. Both senatorial
and legislative questions hinge upon the or-
ganization of tho house. Tho republicans
havo a bare majority of ono in the house,
and if they can compel the attendance of
every republican member aud keep in lino,
thero seems to bo every reason to believo they
will succeed m organizing the house. That
done they will have the power, if they desiro
to uao it, to unseat enough populists to secure
a majority ou joint ballot and elect a repub-
lican successor to Senator Perkins, to ti 11 out
tho unexpired term of the late Senator Plumb,
Perkins having been appointed to serve only
until the preseut session of the legislature.
On the other hand, the populists will havo a
majority in the senate of three and will bo
able to unseat tho eutire minority of eleven
members, if necessary, to overcome on joint
ballot the majority, which the republican's
might secure by the unseating process in the
house. Tho tight then would degenerate into j.
