Conspiring to Burn Houses in Brooklyn. PARDRIDGE NOT SELLING. SIX THOUSAND HOUSES BURNED. Extent of the Fire at Tokio, Japan, on Last Sunday. Loxpox, April 12.—A dispatch from Tokio says that the confingration that broke out there on Sunday last did enormous damage. The dispatch is vague as to which portion of the city was burned over, but states that 6,000 houses were destroyed. The loss of life was heavy. Up to the present it is known that fifty of the natives lost their lives, and a number are still missing. Tokio, the chief oity of Japan, is divided into two parts by the O’Gawa or Great river, the western portion of the city being by far the more important. Tokio is noted for its fires. Many of the stately and rich which formerly adorned the city have been burned to the ground. In 1875 « single fire destroyed fully one-fourth of the whole city, and in one night in 1876 6,000 houses were burned. The whole business portion of the city is studded with clay fire-proof store houses, into which all the chief valuables are hastily thrust immediately upon the breaking out of fire in the neighborhood. The massive iron doors and shutters of these fire-proof ‘‘dova” aro, as soon as the interior is filled, cemented air tight, lighted candles having’ been placed inside before the clos- ing of the , last door inorder | to exhaust the inflammable oxygen of the incloved air. The structure may be left to be raged around it by the fire and may even be raised to a red heat without danger of com- bustion inside. ‘The houses that afford fuel for these fires are of light wooden or bamboo construction and are built with incredible ra- pidity. The city of Tokio covers an ares of about tronty-eight equare miles, and in point of ex- tent is, after London, the largest city in the world.’ The population is placed at between 300,000 and 14000,000. z ee FRAUDS AT THE POLLS, Municipal Election at Jersey City—Arrests of Repeaters. Sensex City, N. J., April 12.—Municipal election isbeing held in this city today. In past years ballot-box stuffing hasbeen afeature of the local contests and the same fear prevajis today that fraud willbe practiced notwith- standing the fact that several offenders at the Leiner aré now sojourning in the state n. PYAt the polling place 413{ Green street a gall riot occurred this morning. Capt, Gra- ham, who is watching the voting in the interest of the anti-democratic forces, attempted to ar- rest a repeater. He was set upon by mob and badly beaten. He was then arrested him- self on a charge of creating a disturbance. Several repeaters have been locked up and more arrests are expected. ——__ PARDRIDGE TURNS BUYER. With a Preponderance of Bearish News He Becomes a “Bull.” Curcago, April 12.—Pardridge played enigma today. With a preponderance of bearish news from outside at hand and the market here ina demoralized, weak condition, he turned buyer. He was decidedly the best purchaser at the opening and for quite » time afterward. As &,reratt and tn the face of 0 decline of 13gd. at Live lay wheat opened on Chichgo boardat 80%. Of 3g higher than loss last night. Compared with the past week there was comparative steadiness, with trading con- siderably reduced in volume. From 80% there was a gradual decline to 8034, followed by a re- action to 8034. The week's world’s wheat shipments to Eu- mere reported as 8,600,000 bushels against 4,700,000 bushels the week before and against eutimated weekly requirements of 7,000,000. Between 10 a.m. and 10:30 a rather sharp’ de- cline of 1 er cent ‘occurred, the price descend- ing from 8034 to 7934, recovering later to 793(a 19%. Gifford was rather a conspicuous seller. ‘The Mark Lane comment that there is small prospect of values advancing was an in- fluential factor. Another circumstance was the sudden narrowing differences between the prices of the various months at New York, at- tributed here to realization of the proba- bility thay contrary to expectation a large amount of grain conld be got through by the empora- lakes before the end of the month. everybody but Pardridge seemed to turn r. a PLOTTING TO BURN HOUSES.

Senator Gallinger said today: “Inasmuch as Congress has enacted very stringent legislation on this subject and has declared its intent in unmistakable language we should abide by the letter and the spirit of the law. For reasons that wore satisfactory the Senate and House have, prior to yesterday's action, declared the trolley system to be objectionable, and, follow- ing out these conclusions, have compelled one of the companies here to expend several millions of dollars in an extensive cable plant. To compel a competing company to adopt a much cheaper system—genorally objectionable to the people of this city—would bean inex- cusable outrage.” Senator Harris of the Senate District com- mittee was somewhat astonished at the revival ircumstances of congressional trolley advocacy. “I think,” said he, “that the overhead system is the best and cheapest, but I feel certain it will never, be adopted | for use in thiscity. The Senate made known its views on more than one occasion and I have no reason for supposing that it has changed its opinion; it is opposed to wires in the streets.” ‘Senator Barbour said: “I am uaalterably oj to overhead wires. I am immovabl ixed in my aversion to the trolley system. As between the trolley system and horses I favor horses.” Senator Perkins had not the matter y consideration. He had informed by a representative of the Metropolitan company that the company was not asking for and did not re trolley system. The Senator says ho will look into the House bill closely. ven TREASURY CLERKS ANXIOUS, Many Dismissals Likely to Meet the Re- duced Appropriations. A great deal of uneasiness prevails among the clerks in every bureau of the Treasury De- partment over the prospect of a large reduc- tion of the clerical force in the near future, A number of dismissals have already been made in the office of the supervising archi- tect, and nearly every clerical sal- ary has been reduced. Dismissals and reductions will occur in the secret service division, in the immigration division and to a greater or less extent inevery bureau of the department. Transfers from ne force to another are being made to adjust the resources to the liabilities of the The department is siready beginning to prepare for the condition which will confront it at the beginning of the fiscal year in Jul; be oceasioned by the sweeping reductions which will be made in the appropriations for clerk hire for the ensu- ing year. the legislative, judicial and executive eppro- priation bill provides for the payment of these salaries, and the word has been down from the Capitol that Mr. Holman's committee is cutting the apy tions to the bone. ‘The changes which are being made and that are to be made are not confined to the clerks employed in Washington, but extend to the customs, immigration and other branches of the service throughout the country. One result of this condition is that the Sec- retary is absolutely besieged by members of the House and Senate demanding that their pro- teges and appointees be retained. The em- ployes are mustering their “‘influence” in full strength and there is a constant procession of Congressmen through Secretary Foster's office. ‘The Secretary explains that he is not n= sible for the condition and is utterly unable to alter it; that if Congress does not provide tho salaries he cannot keep the clerks. Each Con- gtesseman admits this, but insists that his par- ticulat case must be made an exception. It is believed by the clerks that the situation will grow worse for them within the next two months and bureau officials do not offer them any falee reassurances. The panacea for their troubles lies entirely with Mr. Holman's com- mittee on appropriations. ‘To Succeed Minister Montt.

He was taken to his home after the verdict inacarringe and immedittely went to bed. Dr. Marsteila was sent for and did ali he couid, but at 2:30 o'clock this morning he died. He was conscious just before his death and called his wife to him and bade her an affectionate g00d-bye, At one time during his illness he was do- Urious and kept repeating aloud: “The man that we found guilty as indicted is guilty and they will nang him in May or June. We bave n before God and man. He is guilty! guilty { guilty!" When a reporter of Tax Stan reached the house this morning it was filled with eympa- thizing friends. The poor wife was almost wild with grief and her heartreuding sobs mingled with the chatter of her five-months- old baby. ‘They had been married thirteen years and had six children. James W. Cooper, or, as he was moro famil- farily known to his host of friends, Cooper, was born in Goochland county, Virginia, in 184% and came to Washington in 1865. He was a member of the Independent Order of Moses and the Good Samaritans. The funeral will take place from the Zion Baptist Church next Sunday at 2 o'clock. ONE OF THE REGULAM PANEL. Juror James W. Cooper was the first one finally accepted and one of the two drawn from the regular March panel, the other being Robert H. Gray, another colored man. The Temaining ten members of the jury were ee- lected from the 75 extra talesmen drawn when the regular panel had been exhausted, Juror Cooper was the large colored man who satat the end of the upper row nearest the door. During the first two or three weeks of the jury's service he was, despite Lis large size, one of the most active members of the jury, and also one of the most jovial. is ‘good nature was remarkable, and his many good stories and quaint sayings did more than anything else to enliven the long and weary confinement which the jury were weces- sarily forced to endure. Juror Cooper was a deeply religious man, and in the religious services whicl. were daily held by the jury in their room he always occu- pied a prominent part. WHAT THE BAILIFFS SY. Speaking of Juror Cooper this morning, Bailiffs Maurice A. Joyce and Edw. 8. Ransdell, who had entire charge of the jury, said that during the Inst ten days of the jury's service be began to rapidly fail in health, complaining that the loug confinement was killing him. His heart troubled bim severely, and during the last three or four days of his service he required the united aid of Bailiffs Joyce and Ransdell to rise from his cotin the morning. As showing how rapidly he failed in health, Bailiff Joyce said today that during the first week or so of their confinement the jury amused themeelves by seeing who could make the highest standing kick, and that Juror Cooper could easily kick a bat held at the height of a man's ‘As the time wore on, however, he began to rapidly Speck f the jury, Bailiff Joyce said that 8 Ing of jury, joyee it in his seven or eight years’ service in the Criminal Court he never seen @ more harmonious jury or one more conscien- tious. Every Sunday one of their number, gen- erally Foreman Ros A. Fish, would conduct a religious service, in whichevery member would earnestly join. A short service of prayer and song was also held every morning and evening. WHY THEY REMAINED OUT 80 LONG. In view of the fact that but one ballot was taken by the jury many wondered thet they remained out the length of time they di fifty-five minutes. But it can now be stated that their absence for #o long a time wasdue to the fact that upon reaching their room Saturday afternoon to deliberate upon their verdict, the entire jury, led by their foreman, indulged in service of prayer, asking Al- mighty God to guide and direct them. They then took the one ballot which declared Howard J. Schneider to be guilty of the murder of his wife, ‘The baliot taken, the jury indulged in a final prayer, in which they beseeched God to forgive the man they had condemned and asked that He might bless all who had participated in the trial and those who had been wronged and sorrowed by the prisoner's terrible crime. That done, they notified the bailif_s that they had agreed upon their verdict and made their way to the crowded court room below. STARTING A SUBSCRIPTION. ‘The news of the death of Juror Cooper reached the House press gallery early today, and, as the statement was made that his family was left m needy circumstances, a collection was taken up for their benefi:. The sum of $8 was raised as the nucieus of a fund to be given to Mrs. Cooper. ‘Ihe newspaper men thought Cooper had done his duty well and that death was due to his service on the jury. wrest ovtcsadhies THE SUPREME BENCH VACANCY, ‘The President Determined to Nominate At- torney General Miller. The aspirants for the vacant seat on the ‘Supreme bench and the friends who have been urging their claims upon the President are generally disheartened by the impression they get that the office is to go to Attorney Gen- eral Miller. Mr. Quay has been very anx- ious to have this piace put at his disposal, and it is understood in a gencral way to be the price he demands for the restoration of the President in his favor. But the impres- sion made upon the minds of those who have talked with Mr. Harrison on the subject of the eppointment is that he is determined to ap- point Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller has long been anxious to go on jupreme bench and every time a vacancy ins ooturred hie same has come up, |The sug- ion, however, wave exc Son tn @ Senate and the President has been threatened with a failure of confirmation if be made the appointment.

It had determined that the fair should be produced on such « ecale as to require $17,200,000 or €18,000,000. Hence the necessity of ihe exposition company for funds beyond the $10,000,000 required by the ai tair original act. Ihe further Propriation was asked for because it was believed thet this great exposition was goimg to redound, not to the credit, not to the advantage, not to the beveait of apy single locality, bat to the benefit of the entire country. MR. FRED. WINSTOX. Mr. Fred.
