THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C However it may be effected; but unjust Prejudice often prevents people from trying ‘proprietary medi- cine,’ until other remedies prove unavailing. 4. H. Bitchie, commismon agent, Kingston, Aus- tralia, writes: “For years a confirmed sceptic as to the merits of proprietary medicines, I was at last converted by the ‘ee of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. For months a bottle of this medicine, of which I bad come into possession through the kindness of a friend, remained unopened i ws closet, till one night { was seized with a violent cold accompanied by a racking cough. #.1ving none of my waual remedies at hand, 1 thought of the Cherry Pectoral, and determined to give it atrial, The result Sas truly magical. Relief came almost instantly, and after repeating the dose, certainly not more than half ®dozen times, I found myself thoroughly cared. Sub- sequently my dauxhter was cured of a severe cough by the use of the Cherry Pectoral. I recommend this Preparation to ail sufferers from throat and lung troubles” For Croup, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Asthina and Consumption the best remedy ia AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, Prepared by Dr. J.C.

Nobody Can Get Into It—The Investi- gation not Begun., Bartmore, March 27.—-H. J. Macomber, president of the Safe Deposit and Trust com- pany, says: “The only way the legislative com- mittee can gain access to Mr. Archer's box in their building is to present the keys and = power of attorney from that gentleman. We have received no notice from the legislature today, but we intend to aid the state in every legal r to gain access to the contents of Mr. Archer's box.” A special dispatch to the Ners from Annaj oli says: The first intimation of the trouble was given out by bank examiners in Baltimore, and while it would bave been easy enough to have raised the money to pay off the treasurer's defaleations, his wrong doing was already known before the governor made it public. A dispatch from the treasurer’s home says that was he much better, but not out of danger. NO TIME SET TO BEGIN INVESTIGATION. Axwapouts, March 27.—The matter is at a stand still until the investigation committee begins its investigations, The controller was told of some of the _ irregularities and charged the treasurer with them, but he denied them. The amount is supposed to be large. There is great regret there over the revelations. The peculiar and fraternal relations of Conptroller Baugh- man to the treasurer made this step very painfull, but he felt that be must do his ‘duty and make the disclosure to the governor. Senator Poe, chair- man of the legislative committee of inquiry, said this afternoon that he hadn't seen the other members of the committee and no time had been set to begin the investigation. Baxtimore, March 27.—A special dispatch to the News from Annapolis says: Quiet reigns in the little old building in which the state treas- urer has for years had his office. The clerks know nothing about the matter and have no theory to advance. Aramor is being circu- lated that the money raised on the state secu- rities was used by Mr. Archer to aid friends i the canning business in Harford county. Gov. Jackson says that he is uninformed about the whole matier as any outsider. Universal regret is expressed at Mr. Archer's trouble and a kind charity for # man so esteemed and respected withholds any criticism at present from any ee of either political party. © Mr. itchell, a delegate trom Harford county to the legislature, says that if money alone was needed to free him from embarrassment and disgrace Mr, Archer could have raised $500,000 right at his own home. He says that Mr. Archer had no bad habits. Beare, Mp., March 27.—No one is allowed to see State Treasurer Archer other tian his wife and daughter and the attending physician, The last named says that Mr. Archer is threat- ened with congestion of the brain, the result of protracted overwork and worry, but thata fatal termination may be averted by rest aud seclusion, — THE ILIADSOF THE IROQUOIS, How She Drifted and Her Crew Were Kept on Short Rations. San Francisco, March 27.—The United States man-of-war Iroquois arrived yesterday morn- ing from Port Townsend, Prior to sailing from this port six months ago the vessel was for a Jong time at Mare Island. and the government spent $100,000 in repairs. The Iroquois ar- rived at Honolulu October 18, having taken twenty-eight days in making a trip which the Australia makes in seven. November 16 she was ordered to Samoa and was to call at Mar- hall Islands on the way down, On December 23 when sixteen miles north of the line the iston rod of the engine broke and the Iroquois y helpless and dependent upon her sails, Making her way with difficulty out of this haz- ardous locality orders were given to sail to the west with the expectation of reaching the coas' trades and then sailing for Honolulu, 2,500 miles away, in order to get her broken piston rod repaired. The hope of getting into the region of favorable winds was disappointed, ‘The wind blew continually from the opposite direction, and the Iroquois was driven further to the north until the intention of making Hon- olulu had to be abandoned and San Francisco was headed for instead. By the last of Janu- ary the prospect of a long and perilous trip was apparent to all the officers and crew, and it became necessary to economize in fuel and food. All the water used on board was dis- tilled, and the short supply of coal had to be economized to the last grain. On February 15 the crew was put on short rations and the officers would have been obliged to submit to the same hardship but for their foresight in providing themselves and sailing from San San Francisco with extra supplics. The ship arrived at the entrance to the straits of Fuca on March 1 and was towed to Port Townsend, where she Was provisioned and coaled, and lett for this port a week ago yesterday. — NEARLY LYNCHED A CHINAMAN, He Assaulted a Polish Child, but the Police Protected Him. Caicaco, March 27.—Wee Lee, who keeps a laundry in the basement of 214 West Chicago avenue, narrowly escaped lynching last night at the hands of an infuriated mob of Polanders, About 8 o'clock last evening three young Polish girls named May Wagner, Maggie Polzynski and Julia Schmitt were passing the Mongolian’s laundry when he beckoned them to come in, The girls went down the stairway and as soon as they entered the basement Wee Lee grabbed the Wagner girl by the arms and dragged her into aback room. There he assaulted her. He threatened her companions with death if they made an outery. They ran out of the laundry, however, screaming lustily, and uotified “a police officer near at hand. The West Chicago avenue patrol wagon was called and when it arrived a crowd of 200 excited Poles were at- tacking the windows and doors of the laundry with clubs and stones, It was all that the five policemen could do to keep back the mob, The heathen was taken to the station with great difficulty, The Wagner girl is but tour- teen years old and very small for her age. Death of an Arctic Traveler. | New Yorx, March 27.—Henry W. Klutchak, the artist of the Sir John Franklin arctic search party of 1878, died here yesterday, aged forty- two years. Mr. Klutchak was a man of varied talent, but lacked the business instinct, and died in penury.

Kansas Crrx, Mo., March 27.—Mr. George Kennan has received from Paris a letter writ- ten by Mme, Mary Tsebrikova, the lady who has just been exiled to Siberia for having writ- ten a letter wh Was mysteriously smuggled into the Czar —— apartments and which was said by the Russian police to contain threats against the Czar's life. Mme. Tsebri- kova wrote Mr. Kennan that she intended to petition the Czar and expected to suffer se- verely for the act. She inclosed a copy of the petition. Itigsimply a vivid description of the condition of the Russian people and au ap- peal for reforms, it contains no threats against the Czar, but warns him that the state of things which exists in Russia is sure to produce dai erous disorders, Mr, Kennan supposes that ime. Tscbrikova went to St, Petersburg soon after writing bim. He describes her as a tal- ented writer and a frequent coutributor to Kussian magazines. — It Spreads.

Not the Fire but a Faultily Constructed Building. Ixpraxapouis, March 27.—Coroner Wagner yesterday completed his investigation into the disaster connected with the Bowen-Merill fire, which occurred here on March 17 and which resulted in the killing of twelve firemen. The verdict in each of the cases, twelve in number, was alike, with the exception that the deaths did not all occur on the same day. The coroner finds that “the Bowen-Merill building was con- structed at different periods, having mm en- larged to accommodate an increased stock and weight, was put on a foundstion not so in- aed by its original builder, the changes cul- minating in asuperstructure ee ip part for its support on adjoining buildings equally faulty. Building experts and the owner de- clared on oath that would not now erect such a building. The , while the immediate agent, was not of itself sufficient to cause the collapse. I find that the building was of faulty construction.” ——_-—___ McAulifle Does Not Reply. San Francisco, Cat., March 27.—Light- weight Jimmy Carroll’s $10,000 challenge to Jack McAuliffe has not yet been heeded by the New Yorker. Carroll is out inacard eaying that McAuliffe is afraid to meet him again; that he (McAuliffe) knows he crawled out of a nar- row aperture in their late fight; also that if he is not afraid he would cover the forfeit out of his own pocket and not get out of making the match on the plea that his backer, Dick Koche, has left San Francisco for the east, Danny Mahoney and Charley Rochette have been matched to spar ten rounds for points be- fore the Occidental Club members the night of April 28, ao ee Mutrie’s Colts Back.

Abrabam R. Holland by H. T. Wiswell toda: eee en Meer HL Holland, to whom he was married in 1 He charges that she deserted bim without cause in 1878, DID HE KILL HIS WIFE, the Case of W. D. Cross. In the Criminal Court this afternoon, after the report of the trial of W. D. Cross, colored, for wife murder, had closed on the first edi- tion of Tax Stan, Mra. Emma Turner, colored, the mother of the deceased, testified that her daughter was married to defendant July 25th last; she was but seventeen years of ageand was of tall and slender build. Her full name was Harriet Rebecca. She was at home on that day. After she and Cross went out she saw her daughter on C street after she had been shot. She lived till the 10th, when she died. Will came in about 730 o'clock ~— and said sup- per was ready and he said he hadn't time and went up stairs and called fors light, The deceased went up stairs with » light and joes f had some words; did not hear what was sai till Will said, “If you follow me I will kill you. Here the witness broke down and cried aloud, but was composed in a sbort time. Wit- ness asked what they were juarreling about, and the daughter said Webb was going ont to stay all night, and if he did she would follow him, Witness advised her to stay home sues it was her father and mother’s house. hey then went out, she dressed in her every day clothes and Will car- tying the umbreila. In thirty minutes ill came running back sayin; that Hattie had killed hersel! Witness told him that he wasa liar; that he had killed her, and witness commenced hollering murder, Will told her to stop and tried to keep her from hollering, and then ran away from her. Witness identified the pistol. On crose-examination witness said Will had always been affectionate and kind to her daughter. He had furnished the rooms before they were married. She had never heard a cross word between them till that night; never knew her to be ina fit of despondency after her marriage, When Will came back that night he was crying and apparently in much distress. Witness did not know that her son Wij) went with Cross to his father’s on 414 street, avicfiend si, CAPITAL AND LABOR. Points From the Senate Debate on the Anti-Trust Bill. Mr. Edmunds in his speech in the Senate this afternoon said that people could not shut their eyes to the fact that, if capital combined, if great industrial establishments combined to regulate wages, the workmen were com- pelled also to combine to defend them- selves, And so this country, and other coun- tries, had been for the last forty years turned into great camps of enemies, while there ought to be only one camp of co-operative friends. Even in the city of Washington, where Con- gress had exclusive jurisdiction, masons, car- pentera, bakers, tailors, printers and all trades had their combinations, which were armed camps making aggressive warfare against the rest of mankind with which they were brought into relation or contact. COMBINATIONS OF DOCTORS AND LAWYERS. Mr. Morgan asked him whether he had ever heard of combinations in Washington between doctors and between members of the bar, Mr. Edmunds believed that there were euch combinations, Mr. Morgan—Does this bill reach anything of the kind? Mr. Edmunds—I do not know whether it does or not, Mr. Hoar spoke of an association of lawyers in the early days of Massachusetts which had a rule that no member would ever charge less for advice than a dollar, Mr. Edmunds remarked that he did not ever get up to that standard. He gave his advice “FREE, GRATIS,” He had learned of a caze which occurred here only a few months ago where a skilled printer, a citizen of the United States, a man of good character and with little money (such things sometimes went together even in the Senate ot the United States), applied to the ublic priuter for employment,although he was fat the man who was wanted to fill a vacancy, the public printer was not permitted to employ hina because he was told that it he did, nine tenths of the printers employed in the office would cease work and the country would go to destruction because it could not read today what had been said in Congress yesterday. And this was because the man did not belong to aparticular combination. IF THAT WAS NOT TYRANNY Mr. Edmunds did not know what tyrrany was. ‘The tyranny of a thousand men was infinitively worse than the tyranny of one man, just as the tyranny of the communce in France was worse than that of the monarch who had been over- thrown, THE ANT RUST BILL. The Senate Refers it to the Judiciary Committee. The Senate has voted—31 to 28—to refer the anti-trust bill to the judiciary committee with instructions to report in twenty days, THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. ANOTHER HEARING ON THE DISTRICT APPROPRIA- TION BILL. The Senate eubcommittee on the District ap- propriation bill put in a hard day's work to- day. Commissioner Hine and Capt.

This, the first conference of the kind ever held in the country, is but the beginning of an organization which we expect to include in its membership thousands of teachers and those interested in the work of education. Our ob- ject is to advance education among colored youth and thereby assist in the solution of a problem which has become the all-absorbing issue of the day, We have contidence in the remedy we propose and ask the co-operation of all friends who believe that the highest and best interests of the republic hie in the virtue and intelligence of its citizens.” THE PRESIDENT’S RESPONSE, The President replied as follows: “It gives me great pleasure to meet you, Prof. Gregory, and the gentlemen who are associated with you in the work of education.

Work on the connections with the new 30- inch maim which is to supply the people of Capitol Hill with water is rapidly going on, and it is safe to say that before tomorrow morn- ing the water will be flowing freely and un- interruptedly. This morning a large force of men were at work at the corner of New Jersey avenue and B street making ions for connecting the old 90-inch main which runs Capitol When the water was first turned on the flow was through the 20-inch main which runs up B street, The work of tapping the 30-inch main at the corner of New Jersey avenue and B street and connecting it with the new wesieyny main in the middie of B street Was rapidly progressing when a Stag reporter visited the ‘scene this morning. ies large holes had been excavated and the old and new Pipes were plaiuly in sight, The old pipe had two grooves in it about three feet apart ranning completely around, Near by was a large “Y shaped pipe. Assoonas everything is ready tonight the cut section of old 30-inch main will be removed and the “X” slipped into place. The counections will be made after 8 o clock and the work will be done with the aid of lanterns Mr. Charles Cunning- ham has charge of the work. A large 30-inch valve, supplied with crowned gear- ing, will also be slipped into place so that the water may be turned off in case of accident. Down below, at the corner of New Jersey ave- nue and B street, there was another force of men at work in a large hole cut into the middle of the street’ They were making preparations totap the large 30-inch main and connect it with the old Tiber creek sewer, and putting a blow- off in. so that in case of accident, or whenever it 1s deemed necessary to clean out the pipes, the water may be emptied directly into the sewer, The operation of cutting out the section for the purpose of making the connections is quite interesting. Two experienced men who have been in the employ of the government upward of twenty years performed the difti- cult work, Armed with cold chisels and ham- mers they picked away at the large iron pipe, cutting it away piece by piece until a mere shell remained. The pipe is 1 inches thick, The cutting began yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and @ cut about 3, of an inch deep all around the pipe bas been made. Col. Elliot inspected the work about noon today | and was highly gratified at the progress that has been made. By tomorrow morning the connections will be intact > HIS WOUND MAY BE FATAL.

One Bill to be Reported Covering the Government Indebteduess. After discussing the question for a month the Honse committee on Pacific railroads this morning reached a decision respecting the method to be pursued in the treatment of the pending bills looking to the payment of the government indebtedness of the Union and Central Pacific Railroad companies, Upon motion of Mr. Cooper a resolution was adopted which binds the committee to re- port one bill covering both companies in its provisions, and subsequently another motion prevailed to take up at the next meeting the bill reported by the Senate committee. But one member of the committee was absent from the meeting, and the opposition to the adop- tion of the Cooper resolution was contined to three members, IN FAVOR OF THE COMBINATION BILE. Mr. Mason made an argument in support of the motion, in the course of which he took the ground that if the committee desired to accom- plish any legislation it must report the combi- nation bill, as the House could never be pre- vailed upon to pass a separate measure in the case of each railroad. Several propositions in the na- ture of amendments or substitutes providing fora postponement of the entire subject until the next session of Congress and for the reporting of separate bills in the case of the Union Pacific and Central Pacitic were rejected before the question was put and car- ried on the Cooper resolution, DISTRICT GOVERN MENT.

A sensation was created at police head- quarters at 2 o'clock this afternoon by the re- ceipt of a telephone message that a double murder had been committed in the peighbor- hood of Lithand P streets and that “Hell's Bottom” was wild with excitement. The patrol wagon and the reserves from the second precinct, under Sergeant Dunnigan, were at once ordered by telephone to proceed to that place as soon as possible, Some of the Policemen rau several squares and when they arrived all out of breath they found that the message had been seut on the word of a col- ored man who is without doubt crazy. He Tusbed into Baldwin's wood and coal yard, cor- ner llth and Rhode Island avenue, and shouted the sensational informativn. The police au- thorities were at once notified.
