THE RELIEF WORK. Nearly $7,000 Collected by Ca: —Investigating Canes. The canvass being made of the city is bringing a great amount of work just now | upgn the chairman of the canvassing com- mittee, Mr. George Truesdell. The returns received every day have to be assorted and properly recorded, and then all sums receiv- ed are turned over to the treasurer of the the cash receipts amounted to $6,915.34. A large amount of supplies have been pledged on the blanks returned to Mr. Truesdell, and these are being collected. A Case Investigated. Stories of prospective ejectments are being heard, and in one case reported Agent Wilson of the Humane Society made an investigation. He found a man named John Leonberger, living in Riley’s court south- West, not far from the river, who has a wife and four children. He drives a beer wagon on a salary of $3 a week and com- mission, but when Agent Wilson investi- gated the case he learned that the man was | addicted to the use of intoxicants and that he spent a large part of his in this way Mrs. Leonberger, wife of the man and mother of the four little children, said that her husband failed to properly provide for the family and they really suf- fered for want of food. The man was taken into Judge Miller’s court this morning and there he admitted that he spent a portion of bis earnings in strong drink, and said he gave his boy 50 cents a day to provide for the family. Judge Miller told. him that he had better use all his money on the family instead of spending it for rum, The woman was questioned by the court. She said she was not very strong, but she had concluded to go to work ff she could get a situation and provide for her chil- dren the best she could. Judge Miller sug- gested that the childten be turned over to the board of children’s guardians, where they would be properly fed and cared for, and both mother and father were willing that such a course should be adopted. The court thereupon made an order tak- ing the children from their parents, and ip doing so told them that when they made a showing in court that they could take the young ones and care for them, they could met them. Not Anxious for Work. i Chief Clerk Sylvester, in investigating the cases of applicants for assistance, endeavors to procure employment for some of the most worthy ones. In two cases, in which he succeeded, the persons refused to accept the positions, althowgh they professed to be in need of food and fuel. In one case a colored man said he had an eighteen-year- old daughter who was willing to work, and a situation as nurse was obtained for her she refused to go to the sick room, be:ause she was afraid she would not suit. Another cas? was that of a woman with two sons, for one of whom a situation as messenger was procured. But the woman wouid not permit her son to do such work, although and assistance was thereupon refused. Yesterday Maj. Moore received from Campbell Carrington $10, to be used toward the bread fund, as suggested by a poor wo- man who contributed $1 for that purpose a few days ago.

PARIS, Jan. 30.—Great crowds gathered tgain last night and early this morning on the Place de la Roquette, facing the prison of La Roquette, where Vaillant, the con- demned anarchist, is confined, and {rom which place he was expectad to emerge for execution. this morning. Some reports had it that Vaillant was cer- tain to be executed today on the Place de la Roquette, and others had it that he was to be put to death inside the prison walls: In any case, the great interest taken in the execution of this notorious criminal caused very many people to pass the whole of Sun- day night as well as last night in the neigh- borhood of the Place de la Roquette. : The authorities are taking the most stringent measures to maintain order. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 30.—The health of the czar is generally improved, though his rest was disturbed by coughing. He is still feverish, and his temperature this morning was 100.4.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—Several of the bank officers who attended yesterday's con- ference with the Secretary of the Treas- ury have arrived at the corclusion that it would be mistaken policy to allow the bond issue to fail because of inactivity or lack of support on the part of the financiers of this city. They have also been influenced | to this conclusion by fears that if the Issue should not be successful Segretary Carlisie would endeavpr to secure the passage of a biil authorizing the coinage of the seignior- age of silver bullion row in the treasury. | A further consideration, was the possi- bility of the reflection upon the credit of | bad gains ced by the failure to sell the | rds. Under these circumstances President Stewart of the U. S. Trust Co. and Presi- | dent King of the Union Trust Co. have undertaken the formation of a syndicate to bid for the entire issue at the upset price. | It is understood also that they have inter- ested Russell Sage and President Olcott of | the Central Trust Company, with them, | and that the latter will co-operate with | them in the movement, which is now under | way and likely to be a success. haat a tsps HIGH WINDS ON THE COAST.

Justice Martin assured Mills that if what he said was true, Mills had been justi- fied in doing as he did. “Your act,” said the justice, “will go a long way toward putting a stop to these train robbe-ies.” The Washington detective said that the police of Washington inaorsed the action of Mills, and that the arrest was a matter of form. ——_——_-__.

He says there are no obstacles in the way. Twenty years ago experiments were made in introducing American flour, The quality of bread trom it was good but dry. Our flour would, doubtless, be used there in abundance if this difficulty could be overcome. In all those districts in Great Britain where the people are supplied with bread by bakers the conditions for American flour are most favorable. The people are so supplied in Scotland and in all the counties of Bng- land, save Yorkshire, Durham and North- umberland. The Lancashire bakers use 50 per cent American flour—probably more in some cases. Some of the advantages of the system of mixture might be successfully taught to Yorkshire housekeepers. There is a sreat demand for broad bran, and it commands the same price, weight for weight, as low-grade Amefican flour. Samples of United States bran show it to be too smal! in its particles, “If any American miller can meet this demand for bran of the grade here pointed out, and Will apply through the State Department, I will gladly furnish the names and ad- dresses of persons whd will buy liberally.” In every case where a determined effort has been made to introduce American goods into Bradford it has been successful. Why not with our flour? Increased Demand in France. Cc. W. Chancellor, consul at Hayte, re- ports on the same subject. Thére has been, for some years past, an increasing demand for American wheaf in France. ‘There is a preference for Hungarian flour. Switzerland and Hungary are the only for- eign countries that occupy the French mar- ket. The French tariff on flour is the same for all countries, $1.54 per 221 pounds. The | best means for increasing exports would be by communicating with firms who are per- | fectly familiar with the demands of. the French market. Under no circumstances should consignments be made to houses selling flour from other countries. ‘The great barrier is the customs duty. If flour is sent of the same quality as the | Hungarian flour, this difficulty might be overcome. Max Goldfinger, United States consul at Mannheim, does not think the prospects of increased business in that district g00d 80 long as the high custoi aut; e set 1g] ms duty is main- Not Handled Saxony. George Sawter, commercial agent ‘at Glauchau, Saxony, says American wheat !s not handled in that district because it has never been properly introduced. American fiour of a cheap grade would be in demand. Russia and Bohemia are competitors. If the pending Russian treaty should be re- Jected the chances for American wheat and ‘fiour would be better. j Horatio Sprague, consul at Gibraltar, re- ports that American flour has been a favor- ite there for a century. An extension of the trade to neighboring Spanish districts could be secured were it not for the duty on all foreign flours. Mendall C. Warner, consul at Tunstall, says no steps have been taken to introduce | American flour into that district. Con- sumers there will not buy American flour without solicitation. He thinks the market could be extended if pushed. —_——_+2+—____—__ WAS ADMIRAL BENHAM SNUBBED? Reported That He Was Kept Waiting in Peixoto’s Ante Room. The following cable message was sent to the London Times from Rio de Janeiro, dated Thursday last, January 25, via Mon- tevideo, January 29: The American admira] on Monday in- | vited Admiral da Gama to an interview on board the flagship New York. Admiral da Gama states that the Ameri- can admiral assumed a somewhat peremp- tory manner, stating that the insurgent cause was hopeless and that he proposed to arrange a reconciliation. Admiral da Gama replied that the only terms possible were the resignation of Pres- ident Peixoto and a free election, ‘The American admiral then lost his tem- per and said that he would protect com- merce and also the landing of government war. material, using force if necessary. Admiral da Gama replied that the in- surgents control the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catharina and Parana, and that they will make every effort to.hold out at Rio de Janeiro until the arrival of the southern troops, as they consider they had a Tair chance of victory. Yesterday the American admiral attend- ‘ed the palace in order to pay an official | visit. He had previously notified Presi- (dent Peixoto, but was kept waiting for | two hours and then the orderly informed him that the president was busy and un- jable to reeeive him. ‘Tne Amerieaas say that this is a direct ‘insult to the American navy. | A naval conference of the foreign com- | manders was held today and it was decided ;man Voorhees decided, however, not tot telegraph to their respective govern- |ments saying that the insurgents have | complete control of the harbor and asking for Instructions as to if they are to use |force in order to protect shipping or give | the insurgents a free hand.

He Snys That Express Company Offer- ed Bail for Guard MIL Superintendefht Topping of the New Jer- sey division ef the Cnited States Express Company is indignant at Guard Mills’ be- ing locked up for shooting a man supposed to be a train robber here Sunday night. When a reporter calied on Superintendent Topping in his office Mr. Topping was greatly incensed ai the treatment of Mills by the New York police. “It is an outrage,” he said, “that an in- nocent man shouid be locked up. Mr. Millis simply did his duty, and I telephoned ‘Su- perintendent Byrnes that the company would furnish bail. Mills was a trusted employe of the company, and,has been a guard since last November, when it was found necessary to place guards on the train. “There was another guar@ on the same train, but I do not intend to tell, for the benefit of thieves, where the guards are stationed. Mills’ life was threatened, and he did only what was mght in shooting in self-defense. Muils said ne did not know whether etther of the tramps had been wounded, but that if one of tuem had been hit he hoped he had not been killed.” ver since iast iall, Superimendent Top- ping says, the express company has been annoyed by a series of petty thefts on its trains, No, 46, the one on which Mills was a guard, has been broken into many times, in these instances the panels of the doors were kicked in or-a piece of steel rail was used to force them. Tae thefts were not large, amounting to not more than $50 worth of goods in each case. The tramps, who line the road, and to whom these rob- beries have been attributed, gather’ at points along the road where the trains are known to stop. When a start was about to be made they would jump on the plat- form of a car and effect an entrance while the guard was at the other end of the train. The robberies became so frequent and daring that the express company was obliged to put an extra guard on each The guards were armed with re- peating rifles, and had need of them, for in one night, in a 250-mile run through Vir- ginia, twenty-two were put off the train. A short time ago tramps tried to break into express car No. 46, which carried val- uable silks, but were put off. It was an- nounced yesterday evening that the man who was shot by Mills had not been killed, but had been wounded in the leg. 02 . the oldest member of the Cecil coun Md., bar, is dead.
