Mr. Helbig and Two Policemen. Friends of Mr. F. W. Helbig, the deale: in musical instruments on 7th street not far from Florida avenue, think that his recent ar- rest by Policemen Mellen and Garvey was due to the fact that Mr. Helbig was a witness against these officers before the trial board several months ago, although the arrest was made upon warrantand in the usual form. Before the arrest war made the officers pro- cured the necessary legal papers from the Po- lice Court. The charges ugainst Mr. Helbig were being an unlicensed junk dealer, violating the building regulations and also violating the potice regulations. The charges of violating the tions con- sisted in an allegation that the defendant had a show enso in front of his place of business which extended more than fifty-four inches from the house, thereby obstructing the side- walk. Judge Kimball heard the cases and dismissed the charges of being an unlicensed junk dealer and violating the yar tions and im- posed « fine of $10 in the other case, but sus- pended execution of sentence. sacks 2s ‘Transfers of Real Fstate.

Unexpected Termination of the Popular Actor's Hiness. Comedian William J. Florence died at his apartments in the Continental Hotel in Phila- delphia at 8:30 o'clock Inst evening. His death was a surprise to those in attendance upon him, as all indications during the afternoon and evening pointed to a steady improvement. Those present when the famous actor passed away were Mr. Florence's sister-in-law, Mrs. Barney Williams of Brooklyn; his sister,-Mrs. Norman Wyard of Washington, and Dr. Patrick Donnellan. Dr. Pancoast, who bad charge of the case, left the hotel about 7 o'clock, secure in the thought that his patient was doing a well as could be expected. Mr. Floren brother, Police Inspector Conlin, left for New York at 6 o'clock with the same impression. Mr. Florence yas very weak in the afternoon and toward evening he slept most of the time. Death came very peacefully. The patient made nosound whatever, and the first intimation thé watchers had of his death was that he hind ceased to breathe. The fact of Mr. Florence's death wasnot gen- erally known until about the time the theaters closed. The lobby of the Coutinental soon filled up with theatrical people and others, who stood around in groups discussing’ the sad event. A message of sympathy sent to Fioreace by the Clover Club, which held its monthly disiner last night, reached the hotel iter ue had passed away. It expressed a hope that his recovery and convalescence would be speedy. As soon as possible after Mr. Florence’sdeath telegrams were sent to Inspector Conlin, retains the family name, to Mr. and’ M Mitchell and Mrs Shepherd, and all other relatives as well. Mrs. Florence was also cabled, but not to the extent of the full tid- ings. "The mesenge read: “Husband worse. Don't hurry." She is expected to leave Eng- lund tomorrow and will not reach here in sen- son for the funeral services. Other telegrams were also sent to Joseph Jefferson, Mr. Flor- euce’s professional partner, and to others o! his closest tlieatrical friends. ‘The body immediately placed in charge of an undertake and will be forwarded to New York today. From there the funcral train will probably pass to Albany, the dead actor's birthplace, where in- terment will be made. Inepector Conlin and his brother returned to the city between 2 and 8 o'clock this morning, much shocked and prostrated by the unlooked-for news. ‘MR. FLORENCE'S ILLNESS. Mr. Florence, though suffering from a severe cold, completed his work at the Arch Street Theater in Philadeiphia last Saturday night. He had been ill for several days, but bore up and filled a number of social engagements, con- cluding after Saturday night's formance by attending a supper given by him to Mr. and Mra. Kendall. When he retired his valet noticed that the actor was extremely ill, and at once summoned Dr. J. 8. Donellan, a friend of Jong standing. Dr. Donelian realized the gravity of the case and early on Sunday called’ Dra. Pancoast and Da Costa into consultation. ‘They at once diagnosed the case as one of acute pneumonia and from the first but little hope was enter- tained of the genial actor's recovery. His rela- tives were summoned and early ‘Tuesday morn- ing a priest was called in to administer the last rites of the Catholic church. Then the sick man seemed to rally and the hopes of the watchers rose. Their patient was unconscious part of the time, but his fund of humor would uot be oxbausied, and when he was conscious he joked with his faithful nurses and refused to believe that the sands of his life were so nearly run out. He was tenderly cared for by Mrs. Barney Williams and Mrs. Wyurd, sisters of Mrs. Florence, and his brothers, who never left the hotel until convinced that the actor was or the road to recovery. Commo- dore Tooker, the veteran manager, was also a constant attendant up to the last. ‘MR, JEFFERSON HEARS THE NEWS. “My God, you don’t tell me,” was the ex- clamation which fell from the lips of Joseph Jefferson when informed by a reporter for the Associated Press that his companion and bosom friend Florence wax dead. Mr. Jefferson had just retired to his dressing room from the last act of “The Rivals,” which was being played at Grand Rapids, and was seated upon one of his hage property trunks. He seemed at first almost overcome by the sudden annoance- ment, but recovering his composure continued, “Are you sure it is true?” ‘The dispatch upon which the information was based purported to convey only a rumor, and Mr. Jefferson was informed accordingls and at once started for the newspape: offices, hoping against hope that the evil news might ve falc. He spent the greater part of the re- maining hours of the night reading the dis- patches relating to his friend as they came from he wire and relating incidents of Mr. Florence's career. FLORENCE’S LIFE AND CAREER. Mr. Florence was nearly sixty-o1 age. He was born at Albany, N. Y., in July, 1831. His name originally was Conlin,but he had adopted the stage name of Florence, legalizing his right to the latter by an act of assembly. Florence was in his day one of the youngest stars that ever bowed {rom the stage. He was scarcely twenty-one years when he filled such an engagement at the National Theater im New York and met with a gratifying reception. Three years prior to this he had made his first professional appearance at the Richmond T ater as Peéerin “The Stranger.”and acted at Niblo's Garden and at Providence, when he played Macduff to tho elder Booth’s Macheth. About January 1,1863, in his twenty-second year, he married Miss Malvina Pray, and while his wife acted the Yankee Girl, be assumed the role of the Irish Boy with decided success. During « season in June and July, 1803, Mr. Florence appeared in “Writing on the Wall,” “Eva, the Irish Princess,” “The Sicilian Bride,” “O'Neill, the Great,” “The Drunkard’s Doom,” and other ieces. P’London woloomed himand hie wife with Inrge houses for fifty nights at Drury Lane, and he followed up the triumph with many perform- ances elsewhere throughout the whited king- dom. Athome again iz New York they had three weeks of immense business and then he i o.ntry. In anagement of A. W, Jackson, at the New York Winter Garden ‘Theater, produced for the first time in this country’“The ‘Ticket-of-Leave Man,” and he had probably played this 1,500 times ‘The production of * N re” at the Broadway ‘Theater, Ne: jm an opportunity for the creation is most successful characters, George & Atroy and Otenreizer. Subsequent to that period he played many brilliant engage- ments, including a highly prosperous one at Kooth’s Theater, New York, and another in which he proved his unquestionable talent as a burlesque actor in “Tho Field of the Cloth of Gold. With a capital Toadles, Captain Cultle and Bob Brierly this eredit, it was in 1874 that he struck what proved tobe his Yonanza, in Ben Wolfe's play, “The Aimighty Dollar,” which becume known later on as “ihe Mighty Dol- lar.” This gave way for the revival of “No ‘Yhoroughfare,” “Dombey & Son” and ‘“Ticket- of-Leave Man,” and such tentative efforts as were represented by “Facts.” A little more than two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Florence an- are | nounced their Feti retirement from the Mrs. John Drew rendering Mrs. Malaprop. ‘This vas the last season Florence was to remain in organization and the anuounced dissolu- tion had been the accasion of general: rogret among theater foik of taste. — eect Death of Ex-Consul Diller.

Fifth Auditor Habercom, in his annual -re- port to the Secretary of the Treasury, shows that accounts involving €686,449,546 were ad- justed during the past fiscal year, or more than three times the amount adjusted in any pre- vious fiscal year. He refers to the satisfactory results of the system of checking consular feew from custome returns, and says thata consid- erable amount of fees is annually saved to the treasury by the detection and correction of errors and omissions in fee returns and of prac- tices tending to deprive the government of its Tevenue, He says: we “The expenditures for the consular service have exceeded the receipts for the first time since 1886. The expenses show an increase of $63,112 over Inst year and the fees a falling off 61,510, making a difference of $124,623. About seven-eighths of the increase in expenses occurred in the ‘contingent expenses, United States consulates’ and ‘allowance for clerks at consulates.’ The remainder is for ‘salaries while receiving instructionsund in transit’ and ‘salaries, consular service, for the former of which an appropriaticn was made for this yoar for the first time, the appropriation for ‘salaries, consular service,’ having heretofore had to bear the extra compensation incident to in- structions and transits in addition to the reg- ular salaries while at post. The new appropri- ation is a step in the right direction and the need therefor had been a subject of remark in the annual reports of this office for a number of years.” ‘The amount of consular fees collected during ! the year was $978,142 ‘The falling off in tue ar fees is upon invoice and currency The invoice fees are short in amount of those received last year by 5 which, at the rte of $2.50 per invoice, would | show 22,114 fewer datiable importations of for- | eign goods into this country during the year. Lleven million four hundred and seventy- seven thousand seven hundred and fifteen dol- lars was paid to states under the direct tax act during the year, and 28,264 claims for rebate of tax on tobacco, amounting to $1,000,376, were adjusted. ae Pee GEORGLA’S SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC.

President Harrison returned to Washington yesterday afternoon with fifteen red-head and canvas-back ducks as the result of his visit to Bengies ducking shore since last Monday. He looked well and expressed himself highly pleased with his excursion. He arose at 5 o'clock yesterday morning at Bengies and one hour later was in his favorite place in the main blind. He remairied there until 11 o’clock and then returned to the house with two red heads. He changed his ducking suit and at noon Aunt Emmeline had luncheon in readiness for him. The President left Bengies Point shortly before 1 o'clock in the afternoon and was accompanied to the railroad station by General Sewall and Messrs. Edward §. Clarke and E. C. Knight. The journey was made behind 4 special locomotive in Supt. Kenney’s car. As the President was @riving from the point to Bengies station® a courier handed him a tele- gram from Mrs. Harrison, requesting him to await her at Union depot, asshe was in Baltimore thopping. ‘The President arrived at Union station at 1:15 and waited until 1:45, when he' was informed that Mrs. Harrison would tak later train for the capital. The Presiden train then left Baltimore, reaching Washinj ton at 3:30 o'clock. Mrs. Harrison, accom- anie] by Mrs. Russell Harrison and Mrs. Me- ee, spent the day in Baltimore as the guests of Mrs. John V. L. Findlay, at her, residence, 927 St. Paul street. After having luncheon there they went on shopping tour and re- turned to this city on the 4:45 train. Own. TO RELIEVE THE Poon.

In the Criminal Court, Justice Bradley, THE SUBTREASURY. It Was the One Topic Before the Alliance ‘Yesterday. ‘The subtreasury fight was the all-absorbing matter before the alliance and its kindred or ganizations yesterday morning, and it seems very little nearer solution than when the conference began. The anti-subtreasury men are active and aggressive. while the subtreasury people have been placed to a large extent on thedefensive. Wednesday night acommittee of the supreme council met the executive committee of the anti-subtreasury people and agreed to report to the council that it hear Mr. Yeamans make the protest at public meeting last evening. Soon after the opening of the morning’s ex- eautive session of the supreme council Col. Livingstone, chairman of the committee which Inst night met the representatives of the anti- subtreasury element, arose and said that his committee was rendy to report. Instantly there was disturbance. Ona mo- tion from a delegate, seated on the Maccune side of the house, a» canvass of those present was made, and every one not entitled to vote in executive session was obliged to leave the hall. When the doors had been closed Col. Livingstone rend the rec- ommendation of the committee that Dr. W. Pope Yeamans, author of the anti-subtreasury protest, should have » hearing. It was received with cries of “No, no," and an acrimonious discussion began, which at noon wax still growing bitter. About 12:20 o'clock a communication was sent to the anti-subtreasury peopie, demanding that the alliauce be immediately furnished with & copy of the protest which they de- sired to present. ‘The autiy replied to this that the committee was only empowered through Mr. Yeamans to present the protest, and until Mr. Yeamans could be heard by the supreme council the latter body would “necessarily be deprived of the means of reading the postal. THE THIRD PARTY JUNT, The third party junta wasstill vigorously pros- elyting among the delegates to the alliance and F.M.B.A. In the morning the work of organi- zation took definite shape on a joint meet- ing of representatives from the People's part — committee, the allianceand the “a A. F. H. Taubeneck of Illinois acted as chair- man and made an earnest appeal to the representatives of the — vari- ous industrial unions to consolidate their interests and tuke independent political action. The conference continued without any definite action till 1 o'clock, when adjourn- ment Was taken for dinner. At that time Mr. Taubeneck said the prospect for consolidation was very bright; that the F. A. was heartily in favor of sach action, but the alliance was opposed to it, though he thought the latter body would eventually fail into line. ‘This 18 contrary to the popular impression which has credited support of the consolidation to the members of ihe alliance and opposition thereto to the members of the F. M. B.A. THE NATIONAL UNION CoMPAN7. The fight against the National Union Com- Pany was inaugurated afresh by the Reform Press Association yesterday morning, which sent | /? aconmittce to the supreme court of the alliance to protest against action of the Business Agents’ Association as taken Wednesday, awarding the contract for furnishing the alliance stores with the supplies to the National Union Company. Some sensational developments are promised unless the supreme couneil annuls the contract reid into by the Business Agents’ Associa- ion. SPLIT IN THE ALLIANCE. The alliance finally split on the subtreasury scheme. When the supreme council of the alliance met yesterday morning everybody but delegates were excluded from the hall. Even Congressman Jerry Simpson had to go. Then the protest of the anti-subtreasury people was taken up and a somewhat animated debate oc- curred as to the best means of disposing of it with the least possible friction. Finally after two hours the committee of the antis were in- formed that they could not be heard unless they furnished the council with a copy of the protest. This the antis refused todo unless they could present their protest in person, and that ended negotiations between the two wings of the alliance. THE PROTEST. The protest set forth that the authors are a committee of the Farmers and Laborers’ Union convention held in St. Louis in September, composed of R. W. Nichols of Missouri, P. J. Patillo of Texas, B. F. Passamere of Micsis- sippi, J. W. Crews of Tennessee and U8. Hall, W. 8. McAllister and W. Pope Yeaman, at-large, which committee was appointed to memorialize the enpreme council of the Farm- ers’ Alliance and Industrial Union by way of setting forth objections of the convention to certain declaracions of principles and de- ands hitherto made by the supreme council. ‘This comuuittee after its organization prepared jews of the conveution touching the ‘iples and demands of the supreme coun- from which a large number of the mem- bers of the F. A. and L. U. dissented. The memorial respectfully and earnestly protests against any action of the supreme coun- cil that proposes to commit the Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union to the proposi- tion that provision be made by the federai Congress for government loans of moncy to in- dividual citizens upon farm mortgagesas sec ity. or to the demand for the government ownership or control of railroad property and transportation. These schemes are unconsti- tutional, impracticable, conflicting with the spirit of the alliance movement and tending to government paternalism and state sociaiism. ‘The government naturally looks to the citizens for the supply of all its legitimate wants, an in- Version of Which state of affairs would make the Government an engine of oppression and the citizen helpless and dependent. ‘The progress and prosperity of the individ- ualus also the stubility and beneficence of social institutions must be left by any free gov- ernment to individual thought, effort and en- terprise. Any other system would dwarf the individual and abnormally magnify the gov. ernment. Any assumption of the rights and duties of the citizens by government menaces the truly American principles that goverament is of the people, by the people and for the people. Instead of relief from present oppression the measures promise greater evils. ‘The scheme would be partial to certain classes, involving businessdetails too deep for the average farmer, attendant expense would make the market price of money higher and would open an avenue for sharpers to trade upon the farmers’ hard-earned goods and products. ‘The markets would be overloaded with produce, putting down the value of commodities and raising taxation. Alabama, Mississippi and Missouri furnished examples of how similar schemes to the subtreasury project failed signally. |The land loan scheme, beyond promising a lower rate of interest, prosents no favorable features, the expense of maintenance being enormous.

This committee ‘was composed of five representativesfrom each of the six organizations and was chosen by the jor the purpose of calling a congress of all the labor and industrinl classes. It had been decided previous to this gathering to con- vene the congress at Washington on February 22, but the south and west made such strong objections to this city that it became necessary to decide upon some other location. The duty of the present meeting of the committee is to fix the place. The matter occasioned lengthy disci and ended in referring the question to the subcommittee, consisting of Messrs. Terrell, Taubeneck aud Baumgarten, with in- structions that either Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Cl or Sprin IL, be chosen. This committee will look into the’ de- sirability of these places and rates of transpor- tation that can be obtained, after which it will Jeport. It will make a decision within twenty 8. ACTION NEXT YEAR. ‘The political phase of the situation cropped out in the meeting, consuming much of the time of the session. The question at issue was whether the call for the confederated assembly on February 22 should leave the way open for the nomination of a national ticket at that meeting, or whether the scope of the work to be done should be limited #0 as to prevent po tical ection. ‘The latter course was the one fiually decided upon. When the assembly con- venes it will proceed to draw up a platform of declarations and demands, and the two great Political parties will be required to give them Consideration and indoreement. It is not ex: Peeted by any one that the great parties will take aay notice of these ' demands, and the way will. remain clear. for the people's party to call a convention after the other political conventions bave been held and adopt the formulated demands of the confed- erated labor assembly ag its platform. ‘This is the pli of action now determined upon by the people's party. ‘The coufederated asmembly of industrial unions, as it is called, promises to be the most important organization of recent ears. It aims for the consolidation of all the boring classes und the subsequent diversion of the whole strength of the gigantic combina- tion into the ranks of the third party.

The Condition of Foreigners Made More Tol- erable by Action of the Powers. A semi-ofticial dispatch has been received at Paris from Shanghai stating that the situation arising from the recent action of Chinese mobs in attacking and threatening foreigners in the Province of Hunan is more satisfactory owing to the energetic action of the representatives of foreign powers. The government has greatly increased the severity of its measures against criminals who have been abusing foreigners, and at present seems determined to exert ull its efforts to pro- tect the foreign residents of the empire. The Kalao-Hui Society bus invariably offered an un- compromising opposition to foreigners. Wrapped in ignorance and superstition the Hunanese have a supreme contempt for all for- ¢igners and have no hesitation in showing it. In dealing with these men the Chinese govern- ment cannot afford to move hastily, fer the first false step might precipitate a revoli that would not only be calamitous to all foreigners who might be within reach of the Hunanese, but to ‘government as well. ~-—_—_ee-_____.

Admiral Brown of the cruiser San Francisco, when approached for an interview by a corre- spondent shortly after the arrival of his vessel from Chile et San Francisco yesterday said. “We bring very little newa In fact almost everything that happened was known in the United States before it became public in Chile | Correspondents of American papers would tele- graph news to New York and then it would be telegraphed back to Valparaiso and appear in the afternoon papers. We left San Francisco | April 8 last, and stopped at Acapulco, where we took on coal. From Acapulco we went direct to Iquique. We were at the Intter place when the Itata put in and we seized ber, according to instructions. Some of the stories tele- Graphed to San Francisco were very Fidicuious, For instance: You bad Iquique bombarded several times. The nearest any | man-of-war over came to the place was about | five miles. We conid hear firing, but we never even saw the splash of one of their missiles in the water. After the capture of Valparaiso and the final surrender of Balmaceda’s troops many of his most prominent adherents took refngo on the San Francitco and we afterward landed them at Callao. We had about twenty of them on board at one time, among being the wife, four daughters and two sons of Admiral Viel, the intendente of Valparaiso; Julio Banados Espinosa, Raimacoda’s minister minister of justice; Ismael Perez Montt, minis- ter of war; Manuel Diaz, Danie! Balmacoda, brother of the president,’ and a number of others. Some of these have found their way back to Chile, but others will make Peru their | home for some time to come.” | ‘How about the story that Balmaceda es- | eaped on board of the San Francisco.adwiral?” | “Ob, it was simply a case of mistaken iden- tity. ‘They thought Col. Viduurre was the | president. The people of Valparaiso would ave been almost as well ploased to have caught Vidaurre, however, as Baimaceda. Had eituer of them got into the hands of their enemies their lives would not have been worth a mo- ment’s purchase. They would have been torn limb from limb. Col. Vidaurre was president of the court that ordered twenty college boys shot. The boys had formed an organization favoring the insurgents and they were fourd out. Many escaped, but about twenty were shot. ‘This aroused the poople to a state of frenzy and made them to secure Vi- daurre. He dressed himself up asa sailor, and, pretending to be drunk, managed to reach our ship. He was accompanied by one of his officers and wo landed both of them in Peru.” “Minister Egan has been very severely criti- cisell for the way he bas conducted affairs in Chile, and it is said that Americans are thorougilly disliked in consequence. Do you know anything about it?” MINISTER EGAN DEFENDED. Admiral Brown replied: “I know this much, Minister Egan conducted himself in the most dignified manner on alloccasions. He saw that all respect was paid to his country’s flag, and acted on many trying occasions with great tact and judgment. From what I saw in Chile Americans are as well liked as any other na- tionality. I understand that both Minister Egan and myself were criticised for not send- ing word of the taking of Vaiparaiso, but the wires were down, so how could we send a dis- patch? ‘The only message which got through Was sent by a newspaper reporter named f. He isa San Francisco man and a credit to his profession. After the city was taken a reign of terror ensued. Soldiers tore off their uniforms and began firing on friend and foe. Every house and shop was shut up and the operators fled from the telegraph office. To- ward evening « lull in the killing took place, and the streets were partly cleared. Wolf slipped ashore, interviewed a number of people, hunted up a telegraph operator aud got nis dis- patch away. A few moments after the dis- patch had been sent the firing broke out again and the mob cut the telegraph wires and burned down a number of poles. “It took me twenty-seven hours, with the aid of the police, to get the break repaired, and then I sent on my communication to the gov- ernment. The wires to Santiago were also cut, so Minister Egan couli not telegraph a letter. ‘The condition of affairs in Chile at that time does not appea: to have been very well under- stood. For instance, James Gordon Benuett of the New York Jerald telegraphed Wolf, after the fall of Valparaiso, us follows: “Find Balma- ceda and ifterview him.’ As about 50,000 Chileans were at that moment secking the same man and thirsting for his blood Wolf was in a dilemma. He did his best, however, but of course failed. Balmaceda was at that’ time in hiding at Santiago. Then there was an entire misconception as to the values paid for produce and other goods. e only cargo that paid expenses, I should judge, was that which Mont- serratt brought down. Of course coal was £50 @ ton and potatoes £30 a suck, but then you lost sight of the fact that the dollar was only worth 30 cents.” ———__+e- —____ St. Clair Tunnel to Open December 7.
