LONDON, Noy. 9.—In the house of com- mens today Mr. Henry Labouchere, who is bitterly oppesed to government by char- tered companies, and to government by the British South Africa Company In par- ticular, obtained permission to move the adjournment of the house in order to dis- cuss the question of allowing the British South Africa Company to establish a claim upcn or contract engagements regarding Matabelaland. Mr. Labouchere also’atscussed the ques- tion of allowing the-eompany to continue the war now going on. Mr. Labouchere declared that when King Lobengula grant- ed the concession to territory in Mashona- land to Mr, Rudd,.on which the British South Africa Company was founded, he was ignorant that he thus gave the whites the right to dig gold anywhere in his ter- ritory. When he learned this he repudiated his action, The concession, Mr. labouchere declared, was obtained by trickery, and the company had obtained its charter by 0's Ait if we of nd ABOUT THAT OVERCOAT!

On the other hand, it is pointed out that it is scarcely probable that such an im- mense quantity of dynamite could have withstood the tremendous shock to which it was subjected. Experts claim that the cases are more than iikely to contain harm- less articles of merchandise that have been transformed into dynamite by the fears of the divers who have been down in what remains of the steamer. It may be, however, that the divers are right in their statements and that the dynamite cases were protected from the shock of the explosion by the masses of other freight stowed around them.

While the political orators in Ohio and other states were shouting for protection for home industries there was being perpe- trated in this city, right under the eye of a watchful government, an attack on the bosom of a trusting family. The serpent of doubt tried vainly to find nourishment in the breast of a fond mother. And the joke is on the District chemist and the inspectors of the health office. The way it happened was such that the men who are most interested do not enjoy the joke a little bit. It was altogether too good to keep quiet long, however, and it leaked out today. The health office, with the assistance of the chemist of the District, Mr. J. D. Hird, has lately been very active in the prosecu- tion of milkmen who were suspected of dealing in the adulterated article. In this they have had the best wishes of all who believe that such a necessary article should be pure or not at all, But when it comes to attacking the quality of the product put out by a loving woman public sympathy is likely to be with the woman, who is doing the best she can, Some days ago the wife of a well-known business man on the avenue gave birth to @ small but promising baby. Shortly after | that the nurse came to the husband and re- | ported that in her opinion the mother’s milk | Was not sufficiently nutritious, and she recommended that the child be weaned and | that its attention be given to the bottle. | The husband did not relish this aspersion on his wife's efforts, and he left the matter to the family doctor, but the latter non-committal and refused to give an ex- pert opinion. To settle the vexed and all-/ important question the man decided to sub- mit a sample to the health office for analy- sis. With this end in view he had a small bottle of the lacteal fluid drawn off and sent it to the health officer, who-in turn forwarded it to Chemist Hird. Imagine the man's amazement a day or two later when he received the report which had been forwarded to him through the | health office. The report stated that the article submitted had been carefully ana- lyzed and was found to be “not cow's milk, but a manufactured articl About an hour after receiving this re- | port, and while he was still pondering over its significance, the husband received a visit from a man who said he was an in- Spector of the health office, and that he | wanted to know where that sample of, milk had ever come from. | “Milk?” said the inspector, “why that isn’t milk at at. It's the worst imitation I ever saw. It’s nothing but a combination of condensed milk with a little water and sugar and other more or less desirable ingredients, It is my duty as a health in- spector to ferret out such infringements of the law as this, and T insist on knowing Where you got such stuff in order that I may bring the guilty party into the Police Court.” “But T prosecuted. I can't help that. The heaith office is going for dealers in impure milk row, and it is vour duty as a citizen to aid us in any way you can” “What's the matter? Isn’t ft milk?’ said the man, who was beginning to see the fun of it by this time. | “Milk? No, I say. And I must know where you bought it. “But I didn’t buy it.” Vhere did you get it then? “Well, if you must know, I got {t from lo mot care to have the party my wife's breast.” The inspector stood as if thunderstruck | for a moment, and then he shot for the | door. He stood not on the order of his going. There wasn’t any. He just went, and so far as a Star reporter could learn he has not been back for any fuller par- | ticulars, | —__> | CLOSE FIGHT IN CHARLES.

The clection was not waged on party lines, but was nothing more nor less than a fight between the La Plata adhe ents, who wanted the courthouse built at that place, and those who want it exected | at Chapel Point. Hoth La Plata and Chapel Point are pro- gressive villages, and the erection of a/ courthouse at either place would materially | enhance the value of these respective prop- erties.

Split in North Carolina on Silver ’ and the Tariff. DISCUSSION THROUGHOUT THE STATE. Populists Hard at Work on the Farmers. REPUBLICANS KEEPING QUIET. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 8, 1898. Now that the silver bill is disposed of and the smoke of the long conflict has cleared away, the attention of the politi- cians in this state is beginning to turn from national affairs to those within the commonwealth. The republicans adhere to the strict policy of keeping quiet. Those of them who aspire to be leaders are doing all they can to aid the populists, and when thrown with the latter always agree with them. They also subscribe to populist news- papers and ‘keep up with their line of thought. The democrats are greatly divided on the silver question and on the tariff. The re- publicans all tell them that this year’s financial troubles are all due to a fear that the democrats will tinker with the tariff and do away with protection. Some demo- crats are as strongly opposed to free trade as any republicans, while others are en- thusiastic free traders. The latter con- tend that legislation must be in the inter- est of the farmers and that this great agri- cultural section must have a showing. ‘Those who make this argument have stead- ily contended that the silver bill must be 80 arranged as to do something for the south, which they term a “debtor section.” On the other hand, it is to be noted that many of the manufacturers in the state are among the most earnest opponents of anything like free trade. It is really difficult to get a dozen demo- crats together without the immediate be- ginning of a silver discussion or of one on the tariff. This is a sign that next year there is going to be a great deal of con- tention over platforms at the congressiona) conventions, and at the state convention of the democrats. It will require the adop- tion of some earnest measures for the res- toration of silver to some sort of footing to pacify many of these people, and the pepulists will try to get inside their ranks every man who shows any dissatisfaction with democratic measures or men. Populists’ Hard Work. The populists have worked hard since last April. Much of their work has not been known, but they have had lecturers all over the state to talk to the farmers. Not content with working here in an off year, they have sent speakers and money to Vir- ginia, one of the speakers being their | leader, Marion Butler, ex-president of the | State Farmers’ Alliance. It w. Butler who, last year, when alliance president, attempted to capture the democratic state convention, and who, when foiled, got out @ populist ticket and worked like a beaver to defeat the democrats. Had the repub- Iicans coalesced with the populists the democrats would have been beaten by some thousand votes. This year Butler is speak- ing everywhere in the s Harry Skin- ner, who, in such a queer way, rejected the populist nomination for governor last year, is aiding him. Eight lecturers have spoken in various districts to the farmers, not upon agricultural, but political mi ters. The alliance went into politics last year; clearly it will again take the same step next year. There seems to be no rea- son to think anything else. The populists will make a fight for Con- gressmen next year in all the districts. They are now establishing an organ in the first. district. They had nine or ten newspapers in the state during the last campaign. Of these but two or three sur- vive. Marion Butler hus two papers, and is said to have an immense subscription list, as these things go in North Carolina. He is very bitter against Cleveland, and another part of his stock in trade is abuse of North Carolina election laws. Senator Vance, in a letter to the Meck- lenburg alliance last July, spoke his mind regarding silver, and declared then the course he would take. When the state alli- ance met in August it indorsed him and his views. When the Senator spoke here at the state fair last month he complained that he had received no indorsements from the farmers as a body. The alliance organs now claim that the main body of the farmers are in that order, and that hence the Senator had received the most exten- sive kind of indorsement. The Senator in his address condemned the secret feature of the alliance, and said the farmers could | manage their affairs much better without | secrecy of any kind. The alliance organs, | while praising the Senator for some things, now declare that their order cannot exist without the secret feature. They say fur- ther, that despite the secrecy many per- sons who had no business in the order gained entrance last year and nearly wrecked it. They admit that the loss of membership between May 1, 1892, and the same date this year was ve! heavy, but they declare that they are now gaining in members, and that dormant alliances are reviving. It must be borne in mind that in 189, as in 1892, the alliance will be a factor in politics, and hence information regarding it is of value. The Colored Vote. Years ago the negroes were all assumed to be republicans. There was no question as to how they would vote. There is now some division. It has been difficult to as- certain how large a proportion of them voted with the democrats last year. Some of the best informed persons say about 5 per cent. It is certain that a good many abstained from voting. During this entire | the negro as to his political ideas or intentions. The question is, will two parties or three ask his vote next year. Last year the democrats asked it; it may be said, for the therefore a factor in polities. It is perhaps that this is so. One of the prime causes of present dis- satisfaction among the democrats in North Carolina is the long retention of republi- by date of commission or at the civil serv- ice law; but they do look at results. ‘They see a republican as postmaster at Raleigh ‘or of elections, and who was arrested iast year for alleged interference with elections, and who, it because his second commission bears date March 7, 189%. They see the republican revenue collector in this district still in with his 120 clerks and deputies, while the Senate fails to contirm F. M. Simmons, the man who last year conducted the mas- terly democratic campaign against the re-| publicans and populists. This means with them that so many democrats are kept out of office. The dislike of the civil sery-| ice is very deep with the masses of the | PROPOSALS, ; rod; democrats. Another thing: has occurred which may | have a political effect in this state. Most of the hundreds of licensed whisky dis- | tilleries are of small capacity, as the aver- age still will contain only about seventy- | five gallons. The distillers say they can only make about two gallons of whisky out of each bushel of corn, but they have had to pay tax on 21-2 ‘gallons to the bushel. The commissioner of internal reve- nue has issued an order that the tax must be paid on three gallons to the bushel. Many, if not most of the distillers, say they will have to close. They say, as do also the revenue officers, that there will be, as a result, a great increase in illicit distilling. Naturally there will be a feeling against the administration, The State Liquor Deal- ers and Distillers’ Association has calied a meeting at Charlotte, and will appoint a committee to visit Washington and urge Commissioner Miller to revoke the order. ees The Assignee to Proceed.

THEATER FIRE AT MEMPHIS, Burning of the Lyceum, a Man Perish- ing in the Ruins. The Lyceum Theater at Memphis, one of the finest buildings of its kind in the south, was destroyed by fire early yesterday morn- ing. The fire spread with such rapidity that when the firemen arrived the handsome Structure was enveloped in flames. Within twenty minutes after the blaze was dis- covered the walls fell, crushing three build- ings adjoining and fatally injuring John Holihan, fireman. The loss on the theater building will aggregate $250,000, and the insurance amounts, as closely as can be estimated, to some $100,000. The building was owned by the Memphis Amateur Athletic Asso- clation, and was a combination theater and club building. The three upper stories were used as sleeping apartraents by the mem- bers of the club. When the fire broke out the occupants of | these rooms became panic stricken and rushed out into the halls, only to be driven back by the flames and smoke. They made their way to the windows and fire escapes, and for a time it looked as though a score of lives would be lost, but the firemen, by prompt work, succeeded in rescuing them from their perilous positions. A saloon, hardware store and Bruce's lv- 1 ery stable, adjoining the theater, were con- sumed. The James T. Powers “Walker, London,” Company, which was playing an engagement at the Lyceum, lost all their scenery and wardrobe. The total loss is estimated as_ follows: Lyceum Theater building, $250,000; James T. Powers “Walker, London,” Company, $10,- 000; ‘stores and livery stables adjoining, $109,000; total, $360,000. —____-o+—____ THE TROLLEY CAUSED IT. A Profane St. Louis Barkeeper Shot Down by a Turfman. The New York Sun’s St. Louis, Mo., special says: Charles McCafferty, the turf- man, and wife and W. B. Sterling and wife took an electric car on the east side at 7 o'clock last evening to come to St. Louis to the theater. Among the passengers was Charles Collins, a barkeeper at the East St. Louis race track. On the viaduct the trolley sipped off the wire, bringing the car to a standstill, Collins began swear- ing at the management of the street rail- way, using vile language. Nothing was said by any one at first, but s he continued McCafferty remarked that it was very ungentlemanly to use such language in the presence of ladies. Collins was rather surprised at the interference | and for a few moments was silent, but | finally offered a surly apology that ap- parently closed the disagreeable incident, but it appears that when the car reached the bridge where the passengers are trans- ferred to another car to cross over to this city, Collins was one of the first to alight. McCafferty apparently not see him and walked with his wife to as he was assisting her to get aboard, hold- ing the railing with one hand, Coillins reached over and struck him a_ violent blow in the face with his fist. McCafferty staggered, but quickly straightened up, and as he did so Collins made a lunge at him with a dirk knife. The blade ripped Mc- Cafferty’s overcoat, coat and vest, but the point caught in his suspender buckle and saved his life. Seeing the desperate character he had to deal with, McCafferty drew his revolver like a flash, and as Collins, who had mean- | while stepped to the ground, made another rush with his uplifted knife, McCafferty fired three shots into his body. The wound- ed man fell to his knees and Mrs. Me- Cafferty rushed to her husband, and throw- ing her arm around his neck, implored him not to shoot again. He pushed her aside and with his arm around her stood with his smoking revolver in his hand watching Collins, who glared at McCafferty a moment, then sprang to his feet and made arother rush, and just as his knife was about to descend for « second time McCafferty fired two more shots ard Collins sank to the ground. He could not rise again, and the Police, | who had by this time arrived, summoned an ambulance and started for St. Mary's Hospit Collins was beyond human aid, however, and died before the journey was half completed. McCafferty is thirty-eight years of age apd is much better known in Chicago, eon he is a prominent Mason, than he is here. ———_+0-— Truck C Serenaded. Truck C was serenaded last night by the Georgetown brass band. The event occurred at a late hour, was executed in a faultless fashion, gave a fund of fun and was full of sensational features. The leader of the band, Prof. Ruloff R. Stratton, held a con- sultation with the foreman early in the day and laid plans for the affair. At 11 o'clock the band was smuggled into the foreman’s | room and arranged the music and music stands. A local alarm was sounded. The horses rushed over the floor with a u ing sound; the fire iaddies, hatless, tess and almost trouserless, slid down the brass the bell continued to clang and the band broke forth with Hail C lumvia. It Was not so much of a surpri shock. Fact was stranger than fiction. ‘The men rubbed their eyes as the hero of Sleepy Hollow is said to have done, the foreman made an explanation, everyboly cheered and the band played. The telephone was | unmuzzied and a funnel put on at head- quarters, so that the midnight “con-ert was enjoyed there. Officers and tireman in every station and engine and truck house in town were called up and lis-ened to the music. The Central girls laugned with de- light and the whole department joined in the chorus. The music was ‘nterspersed with jokes and recitations. Mr. 4: H. Shuster rendered several recitations, and Mr. Hough, private secretary to tie com- missioner of the general land office, put in some good licks in the same direction. Then refreshments were produced and the hap) eccasion passed into history without any casualties worthy of note. See eae Last evening a horse attached to a cab driven by Robert Ricker ran against and knocked down a German about seventy-‘ive years old, on New Jersey avenue between © and D streets northwest. received severe injuries about his head, right arm and body, and was sent to the FINANCIAL.
