The ways and means committee has pre- served a special bunch of papers contain- img remarkable propositions from people in various parts of the country as to the Means for meeting the government de- ficiency. One of these urges a tax of $10 on each base ball or foot ball club in the country and an additionai $100 for every game of base ball or foot ball played. An- other proposition 1s that a reduction of 10 per cent be made on,all salaries to gov- ernment officials, over $1,000, the reduction to continue until the hard times are over. Another reformer proposes a heavy in- ternal revenue tax be placed on revolvers, pistols, dirks, daggers and other weapons used in committing bodily violence. Various plans for protecting workingmen have been suggested, one of these being a tax of $100 on every immigrant coming to this coun- try to work. Some of these propositions have con- tained threats of various natures. One man at Columbus, Ohio, has sent many threatening postal cards, written in red ink, expressing a purpose of killing mem- bers of the committee. Each of this man’s 's the impress of a large seal, a notarial seal. In the circular his are the words, “marshal of ."" and withing the circle, “state of Ohio.” The seal is well executed and gives the letters an appearance of being | the work of some anarchistic organization, | though they are believed to be sent by one | man. No effort has been made to appre- hend the writer, as he is regarded as harm- | less, but the letters may be turned over to the inspectors of the Post Office Depart- ment. ——__——+-@+—__ Armor-Plereing Shel Two ten-inch armor-plercing shells, weigh- ing 500 pounds each, were successfully test- jed at the Indian Head proving grounds turday afternoon.

CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE EMPEROR Honoring the Memory of the Bran- denburg’s Victims. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS (Copyrighted 1894 by the Associated Press.) VIENNA, Feb. 19.—The trial of the twelve ararchists arrested in September last charged with conspiring against the life of Emperor Francis Joseph began today. The defense asked that part of the proceedings be made public, but the court ruled that the trial should take place in secret. The pro- ceedings promise to be memorable in the history of anarchy, as the case is one of the most sensational and romantic on rec- ord. The trial of these twelve men, Franz Has- kel and Stephen Hahnel, the ringleaders, and Mathias Stetka, Martin Stikul, Karl Kinkal, Johann Wopatck, Karl Morawetz, Joseph Sehnel, Michael Wellner, Mathias Fleischhaus, Joseph Komarek and Karl Ketzel, in view of the recent anarchist ex- ploits in Europe, will be followed with the keenest interest here and doubtless in the United States as well, for the prisoners are said to be closely connected with the an- archists of America. LONDON, Feb. 19.—The Times says that a piece of the bomb which killed the an- archist Bourdin has been examined. It was found that the inner side was grooved about equal the depth of an inch screw. The grooves apparently represent the essential part of the contrivance fixing. the explosion for a certain time. Nobody can see the fragment of the machine without conclud- ing that it was the concerted work of sev- eral persons. It could not have been pro- duced without a furnace and proper appa- ratus ‘The Paris correspondent of the Standard says that when Henry was ccnfronted with those who had helped to capture him his attitude was characteristic. M. Etienne of the Western Railway Company said that when about to seize Henry the fugi- tive turned and fired point blank at him. “Look,” added M. Etienne, showing his waistcoat pierced by a bullet, “had Henry fired a trifle higher I should have received the bullet in my chest.” Henry (interrupting)—“Well, what harm would there have been in that?” M. Etienne (waite from anger)—“Why, you would have killed me. Henry—‘Well, what then?” en Etienne—“You blood-thirsty scoun- rel!"” Henry—“I regret that the revolver was of such inferior quality. I should have felt a certain satisfaction at being confronted with you in the morgue—I living and you a corpse."* An Odessa dispatch to the News says that seventeen persons, including a couple of néval officers were arrested last week, charged with the possession of revolution- ary bterature and other compromising doc- uments. Numerous arrests have been made at Kharkoff on similar charges. PARIS, Feb. 19.—The Gaulots asserts that the British government has decided to Propose to the powers the passage of in- ternational legislation in regard to police supervision, &c., with the view of suppress- ing anarchy. Examining Judge Meyer is said to have iscovered through letters which were seized at Henry’s lodgirgs valuable in- formation, which will lead to breaking up the anarchist organization. In addition, the lodgings of eighteen an- archists have been searched and important documents have been seized, and at the residence of the preminent anarchist Se- bastian Faure more documents were seized. The police also made rafds upon anar- chists in several towns today, and at St. Quentin ten anarchists were arrested. THE BRANDENBURG’S VICTIMS. Their Funeral Will Take Place To- morrow Afternoon. KIEL, Feb. 19.—The funeral of the vic- tims of the Brandenburg explosion has been fixed for 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Emperor William has commanded that the dead sailors, firemen, engineers and arti- ficers be accorded the same honors as though they had been killed in battle. All the naval and military societies will take part in the funeral ceremonies and a fund for the relief of the families of the victims will be called throughout Germany. Ad- miral Knorr will represent the emperor at the funeral. LONDON, Feb. 19.—A dispatch from Ber- lin to the Standard says that all the mili- tary and naval societies at Kiel will take part in the obsequies over the remains of the Brandenburg victims. A fund in aid of the bereaved families will be collected everywhere in the German empire. Capt. Brandemann of the Brandenburg read to his men the message of sympathy and condolence which Emperor William tel- egraphed after receiving the news of the explosion. After he had read the telegram he pro- posed three cheers for the emperor, which were given with hearty good will. The report of the explosion was not very loud. It sounded to those on deck as if an empty barrel had been vigorously thrown down. This idea, however, was quickly disproved when the steam came bursting out everywhere. It streamed into the ca- boose, where it killed the cook, the stew- ard and the deck officers at their mess. Singularly enough a man who was peeling some potatoes was uninjured. Rescued From an Ice Flow. LONDON, Feb. 19.—A St. Petersburg dis- patch to the Times says that the fishermen who, on Tuesday night last, were carried off on an ice floe, which broke away from the coast of Ingerman land, were rescued on Saturday on a-bridge of pole planks which had been laid across the ice. The rescue took place after the fishermen had been forty-eight hours adrift. Their safe return was the occasion of much excite- ment and enthusiasm. Composer Congratulated by Kaiser. LONDON, Feb. 19.—A dispatch from Ber- lin to the Times says that the emperor, the empress and a brilliant audience-were pres- ent in the Opera House on Saturday night at the first representation in Berlin of “Imedicl.”" The opera was well received and Emperor William congratulated Signor Loncavallo, the composer. Sivort, the Violinist, Dena. GENOA, Feb. 19.—Ernest Camille Sivori, the celebrated Italian violinist, is dead. Si- vori was born in this city on October 25, 18) and came into the world at the mo- ment his mother was leaving a concert given by Paganini, at the San Agostino Theater. At ten years of age Sivori had already won a reputation as a violinist, and ap- peared in concert in Paris and in London. Returning to Genoa at the end of 1827, he ypointed violin soloist in the Carlo Theater, and occupied this position for several years. In 1841 Sivori undertook an extended tour, and visited, successively, Russia, Germany, England, the United States, South America and Spain. Sivort was decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor in June, 1880. Bringing the Paris’ Passengers. QUEENSTOWN, Feb. 19.—The steamship Berlin, having on board a number of the passengers of the delayed steamship Paris, sailed for New York at 2:30 this morning. Returning Bismarck’s Visit. BERLIN, Feb. 19.—Emperor William left the city at 2:20 p.m. for Freidericshruhe in order to pay his long discussed return visit to Prince Bismarck. Debating the Civil Marringe Bi1L.

The Daughters of the American Revolu- tion residing in the District are cordially invited to be present at the reception at the Ebbitt House on Wednesday evening to the delegates of the continental congress with- out further notice The French Obey Gen. Dix’s Injunc- tion and Shoot the Guilty One. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19.—The Chront- cle prints a story received by private letter on the brig Galilee of a revolt on the is- land of Riatea, one of the Society group. On December 24 last rebels pulled down the French flag on the newly erected govern- ment building. The trouble grew out of a difficulty between the supporters of the French colonial government and native traders, who are daily growing jealous of the French and their growing commercial influence. Immediately after the occurrence the French transport Durance was dispatched to the island from Papeete, and the com- ™mander stated that if the man who hauled down the flag did not surrender the town Would be bombarded. ‘the rebel, who happened to be a wealthy citizen, was surrendered and taken on board the vessel, which sailed at once for the penal settlement of New Caledonia. It had been ordered from Papeete that he be shot five days after his arrival at New Caledo- nia, and there is every reason to believe that the.order was carried out. A similar uprising took place about two years ago, when the French first seized the island. The natives were then silenced, however, by a war vessel dispatched from Papeete. ‘This latest disturbance occurred when the French flag was hoisted on the new town hall at Riatea. When the rebel faction dis- covered the tri-color they cast lots to see who should break into the building and pull down the flag. The lot fell to the unfortunate citizen who was subsequently delivered up to be shot. ee A SINGULAR ELOPEMENT. Two Children of the Man Accompany the Runaway Couple. CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—A special dispatch from Indianapolis, Ind., says: Detectives are searching high and low to discover the whereabouts of Valentine Kle- fer and Miss Belle Keene of this city, and two little girls, daughters of Kiefer. Kiefer was, for twenty years, a highly respected business man here, and accumulated a for- tune. It now develops that when Kiefer came here twenty years ago he had just eloped with a pretty servant girl in his family, leaving a wife and three children in Cincinnati. In some way he compromised with her, and had lived here with his sec- ond wife and made a fortune. They have three children, one a girl of eighteen, and two girls under ten years. Saturday, February 10, he told his wife the younger children ought to have their bangs trimmed, and if she would get them ready he would take them to the barber shop. She did so, and they started, but never returned. On the same day, Miss Belle Keene, a young woman aged twenty- two, the daughter of respected parents, also disappeared. She was a friend of the family, and her relations with Kiefer had been particularly friendly. The families on both sides determined to keep the matter quiet and employed detectives to trace them. They have since learned that Kie- fer, with his children, boarded a Monon train at the Massachusetts avenue station, and stopped at Monon, where he was join- ed by Miss Keene, who went up on the next train, and proceeded to Chicago. ee FLED WHEN THE FIRING BEGAN. Angry Dispute in a Colored Church Ends With Pistols Drawn. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 19.—A special to the Republic from Nashville, Tenn., says: The bitter war that has been raging in the First Colored Baptist Church of this city broke out anew yesterday morning and a general fight with chairs and pistols followed an attempt to read a petition. The row started over the insurance money of $20,000 on the church, which was burned some months ago. The petition suggested arbitration. Pastor Purdy, whose honesty is in question by one faction, refused to let the petition be read, and after the services one of the expelled members, a prominent negro lawyer, Taylor G. Ewing, insisted on reading it. The Purdyites drew chairs on him, and began the fight, which waxed hot, three shots being fired in the melee, one of which struck Andrew Bishop in the head. Scott Crosthwaite, a leading negro physician, was down on the floor, with three men on top of him, but when the shots were fired every- body fled. ‘There were ten arrests, and the hearing of the cases today will be breezy. At one time about everybody in the church had a chair drawn on some one else. One woman went out of the window with a chair hanging over her head, carrying sash and all. Another woman, when arrested, fainted while being ocd ga the patrol wagon and was left ——— SWALLOWED A NAIL. It Lodged in the Vermiform Appendix and Caused Denth After Three Years. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 19.—Miss Mintzer, the fifteen-year-old daughter of Frederick S. Mintzer, a West Philad@iphia shoe dealer, died last night from injuries caused by swallowing a nail three years ago. Miss Mintzer, who was a bright schol- ar, was taken ill while at school on Thurs- day last. She was removed to her home and two doctors were summoned. They were unable to relieve her terrible suffer- ings and came to the conclusion that there was some obstruction of the intestines, and had made up their minds to hazard an operation, when the young patient died. An topsy was held, which resulted in the discovery of a nail two inches long in the vermiform appendix. After the finding of the nail in that mysterious portion of the human anatomy, whose use has never been revealed to science, it was remembered by the young lady’s family that she had swallowed the nail three years ago. Every- body had forgotten the fact. a LEROY HARRIS’ CRIMES. Post Office Inspector Stuart Taking Him to Chicngo. CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—Post Office Inspec- tor Stuart will arrive this evening from Buffalo with Leroy Harris of New York, who is charged with one of the boldest and most original series of crimes in the his- tory of the postal service. Since January 6 Stvart and Inspectors Holmes and Leth- man’s trail. Stuart arrested the man in Canada, in spite of the treaty regulations. Harris was, until October last, employed as superintendent of postal station L, New York city. He had been in the service for years, and was thoroughly conversant with all the detaila. January 6 he appeared at the post office in Norton Heights, Conn., and toid the postmaster that he was a post office inspector, and that he had been or- dered by the chief of the money order «i- vision at Washington tc discontinue the the tcwn, The postmaster, not suspecting anything, told Harris to go ahead and help himself to all that he wanted.

Henderson, the nezro who was recently arrested for giving two mortgages on the property of Basil Jackson, an oli CASE Pank $2,500, and $2,100 from Aaron Strau as published in Saturday's Star, was ar- raigned in Judge Miller’s court this morn- irg, in one case of forgery involving the sum of $500. ‘Not guilty,” he replied, when arraigned, nd I"desire to waive an examination.” “Ts this man here again?” asked Judge Miller. “He was here only a few weeks ago for forging the name of the disbursing clerk of the War Department, and it w a clean cut case. What's the use sending cases up to the grand jury if the defendant is to be turned loose? There was enough against him then to send him to the peni- tentiary.

ALL ON BOARD DROWNED CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 19.—A special to the Commercial Gazette from New Or- leans says: The rumor prevailing here that the steam- er Millard, belonging to the Nicaragua Navigation Company, having on board six- ty men, had been lost off the Nicaragua coast a week ago has been confirmed. Not a@ man of those on board the vessel sur- vived to tell the story. A reporter met an English gentleman last night in the St. Charles Hotel, who is going to Nicaragua and who has interests in that section. He has received word from Greytown con- firming the rumor of the lost vessel. This authority said a cable was sent to London telling of the loss and the watery grave found by all on board. The cable was sent to a man in London who is interested in the Nicaragua Navigation Company, in the service of which was the ill-fated vessel with the sixty.men aboard. The Millard was a tug of twenty tons burden, in command of Capt. Joe Thomp- son, and it was making its way with the sixty men from Greytown to Bluefields, where they were to do some work for the navigation company. Several weeks elaps- ed and no news was received that the ves- sel had arrived. Rumors were circulated that it had gone down in the Caribbean sea, and that all on the ship were lost in the squall which some time ago blew ter- —— across that body of dangerous wa- er. While the confirmation of the loss of the ship is made in the dispatch forwarded to London, no particulars could be ascer- tained. It will never be known whether the vessel went down in the gale which is purported to have prevailed in the waters, or whether it sprang a leak which the men could not stop. Capt. Anderson, the English gentleman who informed the reporter of the confir- mation of the rumor, said he was acquaint- ed with Capt. Thompson, and has seen the vessel, which, he says, was about twenty tons burden. Whether or not any of the wreckage has | been found to tell the sad tale is not known, Only Eleven on Board. NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—At the office of the Nicaraguan Maritime Steam Navigation and Trading Company, No. 44 Wail street, Mr. Samuel C. Miller, the receiver of the company, said that he bad not heard from the tug H. C. Millard, which is reported to have been lost with her crew of sixty men between Greytown and Bluefields, since last December, at which time fears were enter- tained for her sgfety. “There were but eleven men aboard the Millard,” said Mr. Miller, “instead of sixty, as reported, and I fear they are lost. I do not believe there is an American among the number, as the little crew of the Mil- lard was a picked-up crew taken aboard her from among the natives of Nicaragua. = any rate none of her crew left here with er,” — NAVAL PROMOTIONS. Secretary Herbert Said to Favor a Plan of Selection. Secretary Herbert has been very much occupied of late in the preparation of a plan for the reorganization of the navy for submission to the naval committees of both Houses. He has consulted officers repre- senting the various branches of the service, and will endeavor to recognize and respect the interests of each so far as consistent with his ideas of the legislation necessary to improve the personnel. It is said that he will propose an arrangement that will remove the present embargo on promotions, and which keeps an officer out of places of trust and responsibility until he reaches an age when he is hardly fit for them, and their duties are irksome and uncongenial to him. It is said he will recommend very few changes in the staff corps of the navy, but will confine his proposed revision of the personnel of the navy to the line, with the special object of giving officers suitable commands before they become superan- nuated. Those who have talked with him on the subject say that he will insist on a plan of promotions by selection, to be so regulated as to prevent favoritism and dis- crimination. A meeting of line officers, which was attended by a large delegation from Annapo'is, was held at the Navy De- partment Saturniay afternoon in regard to the proposed naval legislation, and a com- mittee was appointed to consider the var- ious provisions of the Hale bill and other measures affecting the navy, and to report at the earliest opportunity. So far, no steps have been taken for a conference between the line and the staff on the subject of naval reorganization, and it looks as though there would be a great lack of harmony between them in the matter. Lee OUTLOOK FOR PRIVATE BILLS. Not Bright if a Quorum at Night Ses- sions is Insisted on. Congressmen with private pension bills to push will find it uphill in this Congress. ‘There is a rule setting apart Friday nights for the consideration of these bills, but last Friday night only half a hundred members were present, and Representative Kilgore of Texas raised the point of no quorum, and all legislation was blocked. Night sessions are proverbially slimly at- Members with private pension bills have been making anxiou® inquiries today whether Mr. Kilgore intended to establish a principle and expects to continue demand- ing quorums on Friday nights. They real- ize that it will be impossible for private bills to pass if this requirement is adhered bined forces of those with such measures in charge would not constitute a quorum. Ctrer members are hardly expected to ac- quire cnough interest in general needs to sit through the evening session. When Mr. Kilggre was questioned regard- ing his intentions today, he replied: “I am afraid there will have to be a quorum to pass pensicn bills. On general principles I do rot think any public business should be b transacted without a majority of mem- rs, certainly not by a handful of mem- rs. This rule for night sessions seems | to have been intended to provide an easy | passage for private bills. I do not believe in most of these private bills anyway, par- ticularly with a depleted treasury. | Most pensions which are deserved can be secured through the pension office.

Smith, the owner of the building occupied by the District offices, dis- claims any responsibility on his part for the sanitary condition of the District building. According to the lease, it is stipulated that the Commissioners shall be resporsible for the interior condition of the Wuilding. wasle he is to keep the exterior in good repair. When the building was first occupied, he says, it was as clean as a pin, and thor- oughly sanitary. Whatever may be its con- dition today, he says, is due to the action of the Commissioners. The Assessment Bill. The Commissioners have just received from the board of trade a copy of the bill to provide an immediate reviston and equal- ization of real estate assessments in the District of Columbia. Also to provide an assessment of real estate in the District in the year 1896 and every third year thereaf- te>. Before finally reporting upon this bill the Commissioners will get the views and recommendations of the assessor.
