The clerks in the Post Office Department are discussing today the promotion of Maj. De Batz; that is, what they regard as his promo- tion. For he has been, or will be as soon as he passes a non-competitive examination, ap- pointed as a 1,400 clerk in the first assistant’s office. much interest in the matter is because they supposed that under the new regu- lations made by Mr. Wanamaker all promotions in the department were to be ased uport examinations. During the past week the examining board has been at work examining clerks for promotion. But Maj. De Batz it was known was not among the number. There was, therefore, considerable surprise manifested when it was learned that a promo- tion is to be made outside of the examining board. It is learned that Maj. De Batz was reduced several years ago from $1,600 to £1,200, for no special reason, as stated, except that his place was wanted. His friends have been trying to get him restored, and finally Mr. Wana- maker promised’ to promote him on the first opportunity. This was _pre- sented in the appropriation ill which went into effect on the Ist of July pro- iding for an additional clerk at $1,400 in the first assistants office. ‘This plan was laid away carefully on the shelf and labeled with the name of De Katz, but no appointment was made. When the board of promotion was ap- pointed this $1,400 place was reserved for their jurisdiction and no examination was heid to fill it. But now it has come around that it is time for the man and the place to be joined together, and so Mr. Wanamaker has decided to remain true to his promise and give it to Maj. De Batz. He, however, yields enough to the civil service spirit now abroad in the de- partment to require that the major shall be iirst examined. This will be done. ee DENSITY OF POPULATION. Sixteen Principal English and American Cities Compared. An interesting et of tables has been pre- pared at the census office which compares the population and the density of population in sixteen of the largest cities in the United States and England. In the table of American cities the given population of this city is only that within the old municipal lines of Wash- ington and Georgetown. The table of En- glish citics is as follows: Population Percent, Total area, Pop. to 1891. increase, - Sunderiand -~ rel The table of American citi Population Percent Totalarea, Pop.to Sea acres.

Secretary Foster has addressed a letter to Simon Wolf and Lewis Abraham of this city, who recently wrote him in behalf of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations relative to the influx of Hebrew immigration from Rus- sia, which they said they hoped the Treasury Department would not prevent at this time. ‘The Secretary's reply is a general review of the situation. He says: Be assured, gentlemen, that I fully concur in your estimate of the magnitude of the present calamity which has befallen so many of your race, as well as in your hope that an early miti- gation or cessation of the current measures of expulsion may render unnecessary any general migration of Rusyan Hebrews to America or elsewhere. Unquestionably @ great and sudden influx of expatriated and destitute aliens of any race would be agrave misfortune to any country, and American Hebrews act bo patriotically and humanely when they advise Jewish refugees against ing hither, but at the sume time endeavor to render self-support- ing those who finally come. Obviously the support of great numbers of dependent per- sons is a tax upon the resources of the country, even though paid from private funds, and, quite as plainly, industrial conditions’ here might be seriously disturbed by the sudden ar- rival and the enforced competition of a multi- tude of needy people. Hence it ix important to the last degree that the volume of this expecied refugee immigra- tion be not excessive or threatening, and that with entire certainty it be promptly and widely distributed so as to supply a real want in scat- tered communities and interfere as littleas pos- sible with existing and normal industrial con- ditions. ‘The apparent scope and thoroughness of your plans for securing this immediate and wide distribution of the expected refugees are most gratifying, and upon the success of your tions in’ carrying out these plans’ will largely depend the possibility of the govern- ment meeting your views in other respects. While the immigration laws of the United States must and will be enforced I agree with you that those laws were never enacted in dero- gation of the plainest requirements of human- ity, and no worthy immigrant, who in all other respects meets the demands of our statutes, should be excluded from the country because, through the action of others, be is for the time being homeless and without property. / Teball rely upon your voluntary assurdace that you will actively urge upon your bre} im Europe the attitude of our laws toward as- sisted immigration. I also beg to remind you that any tendency abroad to deflect toward this country the movement of destitute ref or to stimulate their migration hither would be distinctly hostile to the spirit manifested in your letter and to the spirit in which the gov- ernment of the United States desires to treat this dificult and delicate problem.

Revolt at Barcelona to Depress Stock Quotations. WEAVERS IN CONVENTION. A MILLION DOLLARS IN FLAMES. Slegil, Cooper & Co.'s and Neighboring Houses in Chicago Burned. Cnrcaco, August 3.—The immense depart- ment store of Siegel, Cooper & Co., @ seven- story building covering a quarter of a block, at the corner of State and Adams streets, was entirely destroyed by fire this morning. The { loss on stock and building will reach $800,000. The flames communicated to “The Leader.” another apartment store on the opposite side of the street. and did damage there to the ex- tent of #100, J. H. Walker & Co.'s dry goods store adjoining was damaged $30,000 and the Emerich Furniture Company sustained a loss of £75,000. Various other small losses ag- gregate $5,000. The fire originated in the engine room in the basement, but in what manner is not known. When the fire wus discovered there were only twenty-five people in the building. mostly tloor walkers and male employes. Had the fire broken outa half hour jater all the employes of the store. numbering 1,000 men, women and children, would have been on duty and a se- rious panic would have occurred. The man- ager of a department named Wixon, James Brennan, the head bookkeeper, and Thomas Higgins, an employe, were in the fourth story, endeavoring to protect and save some of the goods, when they found their egress blocked. Brennan and Wixon dropped to @ balcony on the floor below and were rescued by the fire- men uninjured save a few bruises. Higgins leaped to the ground and was seriously but not fatally hurt.“ Charlie Johnson, a messenger boy employed on the third floor, made his es- cape by means of a fire escape, but was severely burned about the head and face. The fire burned so fiercely and surrounding property was in such great danger that all places of business within a block of the flames Temained closed until the fireman had gained coutrol. Siegel & Co. will undoubtedly reopen with a new stock of goods in a new locality pending the erection of a new building on the site of the fire. A CLERGYMAN BURNED TO DEATH IN A HOTEL. Parmer, Mass., August 3.—The Weeks House, on South Main street, an old landmark, well known to travelers, was discovered on fire at about 2 o'clock this morning. The flames spread with great rapidity and ina short time enveloped almost the entire structure, which is a three-story one of wood. There were about thirty-five guests and boarders in the house and they had barely time to escape in their night clothing. Rev. Mr. Williams, a retired Congregational minister, who preached last yearat Holland and who had been boarding about a month at the house, was burned to death. His body was found about 8 o'clock directly in the front entrance, burned beyond recognition, nothing ‘but the charred trunk remaining. The guests lost all their effects, with sums of money rang- ing from £5 to $500. ‘The loss will be about $30,000. The hotel was insured for $10,000 and the furniture for $5,000. Provipesce, R. L, August 3.—A school hot two dwellings and a’barn in Pawtuxet, a subur® of this city, were destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. ‘he village is entirely without facilities for fire fighting, and aid was sent from this city. Loss about $9,000, mostly covered by insurance, $3,000 of which ts held by the Providence Mutual Insurance Company and §3,000 by the Pawtucket Insurance Com- pany. a THE BRUMFIELD BUTCHERY. Eight of the Italian Murderers Kilied by a Sheriff's Posse. Carzerrspuno, Ky., August 3.—A rumor is current upon the streets this morning that a sheriff's posse in attempting to capture the body of Italians who murdered the Brumfield family Friday night were forced to fire on the assassins, with terribly fatal effect, eight dagoes being instantly killed. ENGLISH COMMENTS OF THE LOXDOX “GLOBE” ox THE INTERNATIONAL YHASE OF THE MATTER. Loxpox, August 3.—The Globe this afternoon publishes dispatches detailing the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Brumficld and their five children in Wayne county, W. Va., on Friday last by a crowd of drunken Italian laborers employed on the Norfolk and Western railroad and’ 4n an editorial commenting on the crimes say’ “This horrible outrage will assurediy have its full effects upon the futnre relations between the Americans and undesirable immigrants. ‘The swarms of Italians who cross the Atlantic are by far the most objectionable of all the emigrants who goto America. They appear to have lost their only visible merit—that of so- briety. “*Self-defense in some states where the state protection is exceedingly elementary becomes not only a right, but a duty. The murderers in this case will undoubtedly receivé their deserts from the peopie of West Virginia, and it will then be seen if Italy will demand a’ fed- eral inquiry with a view to procuring compensation. If Italy should do so the answer that will be made to her demand will perhaps be shorter and sharper than the one previously made by the United States gov- ernment in reply to Italy’s demand for com- pensation for the families of the Italians lynched at New Orleaws. That country which cannot deal efficiently with its own murderers must not check to any sort of law that does the work for it? TEXTILE WORKERS’ CONVENTION. ‘Weavers Will Endeavor to Form a Stronger Faxt Riven, Mass., August 3.—A second con- vention of the National Union of Textile Workers began this morning at 11 o'clock in the Cotton Weavers’ Protective Hall. The con- vention will represent weavers principally, as the spinners have a national union of their own. The convention is looked upon as im- rtant, inasmuch as a it deal of is to be devoted to discuselon of plans for the more thorough organization of workers throughout the country.

Prot Poel lan Ey A STOCK-JORBING SCHEM Am Attack on the Guards at Barcelona te Lower Prices of Securities. Barcevona. August 3.—Great excitement was caused in this city by what was for « time be- lieved to be @ revolutionary movement on the part of the republican party, but which subse- quently proved to be a desperate attempt upon the part of certain speculators on the bourse to bring about a decline in the prices of the se- curities dealt in upon the exchange. For fool- hardy daring the scheme has never been equaled by “desperate speculators in this or any other country. The troops who garrisoned this city were in their barracks and the usual guards were patroling their posta when a band of fifteen men, some of whom were armed with rifles, while others carried revolvers in their hands, cautiously approached the buildings and attempted to effect a surprise of the guards, it being their intention to force their way into the barracks, The sentries were vigilant, however, and soon discovered the approach ‘of the men The guards ordered the band to halt and g:ve the countersign. To do the latter was, of course, an impossibility, and the men made a rush upon the sentries, trusting that in the confusion which would follow *hey would be abie to force their way into the barracks. As they ran toward the sentries they delivered a volley from their weapons and some of the guards fell to the ground, having been struck by the bullets of the aggressors. The other sentries, however, stood their ground and answered the volley trom the attackers with a fusilade from their rifles, Fora short time a regular battle was fought anda number on both sides were wounded. In the meantime the officers sta- tioned at the barracks summoned the troops to arms and in a very short time the attacking party found themsclves surrounded. Kesist- ance was useless, and the whole party was placed under arrest. They will be tried by court-martial and the chances are that they will all be shot. — WHEN RASCALS FALL OUT. The Mystery of the Murder of an Old Call- fornian Solved. Manysvizte, Car., August 3.—The mystery of the death of Geo. Ball, an old resident of this city, who was foully murdered and an at- tempt made to burn his retaains, has been solved. Wm. Ousley, a colored waiter of this city, and another colored man of the name of George Maddox were arrested on Saturday night on suspicion, and yesterday morning Ousley, who is dying of consumption, ade a iull confession of guilt to Under Sheriff Bevan. He says that George Maddox and George Collins, a third negro, who was killed recently in Stockton. went into Ball's building on the night of the murder and hid there until Ball came out. Ousley remained on the outside to give an alarm in case the police appeared. Wren Ball came in Maddox and Colling jumped on him, and he showed fight to such an extent that they hit him on the head. He moaned so that they bit him again and finally jabbed him in the throat with a fork. After robbing the body the men covered it with straw while the man was still alive and set fire to it. ‘The two went tothe Dawson House and all three left town that night. Onsley says the intention vas to rob Bali, but not to murder him. Maddox says Ousley’s story is all a lie. — HONORED BY Pleasant Tribute to America—Ruasia and Greece at the Cherbourg Ball.

FAIRY LAMPS. THE SWISS CELEBRATION, Continuing the Commemoration of the Con- federation's Foundation. Benxe, August %2—The people of Switzer- land continued the celebration of the six hun- dredth anniversary of the establishment of the confederation yesterday.

New York, August 3.—The stock market opened this morning with a moderate volume of business and a strong tone, first prices being in most cases from }, to 34 percent better than Saturday's finals, “while Lake Shore was exceptional with an advance of %| per cent.

Special Dispatch to The ine Star. Torexa, Kax., August 3.—When « political campaign closes in other states of the Union the people fora time forget the issues which have divided them and caused neighbor to ar- ray himself against neighbor. This was for- merly the case in Kansas, but since the day that the first euballiance was formed in Kansas the political pot has been boiling. Elections settle nothing. Thi new element in Kansas politics seems to thrive on defeat as well ax vie~ tory. Qne vear ago the new party commenced business in Kansas, and it can be found at the old stand 365 days in the vear. Before tnixs new reform movement started the people of Kansas didn't take mach interest in politics. Once in two years a state election was held, but a republican victory was assured and aside from a short sparring match of thirty or forty days between the two old par- ties there wasn't much in a political way to im terest the people. All this as cha: ganize on the Indiana plan and muster every vote in the various school districts of the state. GOURD-LIKE GROWTH OF THE ALLIANCE. } ment grew Up, as The social features of the order caught the young men and women. The gallant young Kansan would accompany bis best girl to the suballiance meeting : no matter how str in proclivities, she would captur people's ticket if ber father and the in- fluences around ber were in that direction Thousands of young men who cast their fire vote last year were influenced in that way.

Like all new movements, liance is now having » hard time of it to keep together. There are several things which are weakening it. Withahalf dozen different levers all working at the same time it is no wonder the cause is growing weaker and many of ite followers returning to the old parties, DEMOCRATIC WHIFPERSIN. The action of the Kansas democratic editors in declaring against further fusion with the people's party is a strong card against the movement. All of the fifty editors who met in Topeka a few days ago have returned home and are now whooping it up for the old party. and fighting any and all propositions jooking toward a combination of these forces. They say, without hesitation, that if the policy is pursued as was followed last year in there would not be any democratic party in thin state two years hence. They realize that to maintain any standing with national democrecy they must get back on safe democratic ground drenounce the subtreasury scheme and the government control of railroads, which seems to be the cornerstone of the alliance party in Kansas. It is generally understood that the recent meeting of prominent democrate held in To- peka was calied at the suggestion and direction of the national committee, The inroads which the alliance movement threatens to make in several southern states, thereby imperiling democratic success in 1892, calls for earnest and active work on the part of the democratic party. It is bel that it is the intention to make a square fight against it in Kansas and throttle it in its stronghold. That seems to be the aim of both old parties. REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CLUBS. On the 26th of August the republican state league convention will be held here, and J. 8. Clarkson, Gen. Hawley of Connecticut and John M. Thurston are advertised as League clubs are to be formed in every town- ship in the state, and no expense or work will be spared to revive republican enthusiasm. Coupled with this may be mentioned the Knights of Keciprocity and the Knights and Ladies of America, two republican secret orders which have captured thousands of members within the past two months. “These orders veem to be the taking thing for young men women, and since the alliance bas become an old these new orders have special attraction thousands are joining. nized also. Democratic ‘clubs are to be Both old parties are working the thoroughly, and it isnot dificult to foreshadow the result next year if this plan is carried out until after the election. Tae Stan's correspondent hada talk with Frank McGrath, president of the State Farmers’ Alliance, recently, in which he said he was not enthusiastic over the prospects. He recog- nizer'the fact that ifthere is not « breaking up of the old partics in the south for the new party movement there is little hope of holding ex-republicans and ex-democrate to # third party movement in Kansas. He said be was honestly and earnestly engaged in trying to build up the alliance movement, but he was through if it was converted into e demo cratic machine.

The southern alliance fellows have been talking that the third party movement was Good thing in Kansas. "We think 1t ts aloo, Sut we think it would be a good thing in i and other southern states. If it isa good thing for Kansas republicans to renounce their party, obliterate sectional prejudice and join in a wovement for the whole people, why would it not be a good thing for the democrats of the south? They may fool some of our , but there are several they cannot deceive, and they must play fair or ¥ou will hear something drop President McGrath talked without reserve. He has always contended thas af a third is a good thing for Kansas it is a good the south, and if the alliance men down cling to the democratic party, as he believed they would, the third party strength will dwin- die down to a fine point in K Especially is this trne if the democrats of this state carry out their program and win back 75 per cent of their voters who went into the people's move- t last year. There are many thonsands of voters who will return to the old parties at the next election. Democrats are leaving the alliance in great numbers, and altogether the prospect is not very encouraging for the lead- ers of the people's party. for ‘Thurty years ago a similar occurrence place in the department. ———— ‘The Murder of Charles E.
