At fiest growth of the popular movement 1s | the jailers jerred at thaywomen, then tempted the reappearance of the volks par- | them with food, and then, finding ty, or democrats, so-called. In | this of no avail, threatened them. When tho reichstag of 1884 this party held eleven | several women were at the point of death from voluatary “abstinence from food the prison officials resorted to artificial means to compel them to take nourishment, ‘The methods adopted, however, were violent and licentious and the women were com- pelled to abandon the strike. Abominable outrages followed. Thisstate of affairs led Madame Sigida, whose death by flogeing has already been announced, to ask for an inter- view with the director of the prison in the hope of securing an amelioration of the con- dition of the prisoners. The request was granted, but she found him so abusive that, in hor oxasperation, she called him a villain and slapped his face, Madame Sigida was then taken from the director's otfice and conveyed to the prison in which the common offenders were confined. Three of her compaaions from among the political prisoners were per- mitted to Join her. Some time later Baron Korft sont a special order directing that Madam Sigida be punished according to the regulations, and the order was ited to the fullest extent. The puumishment was so severo that death ensued from rupture of the heart. Her three companions committed suicide within an hour from the time of hoaring of Madame Sigida's death, Many hearing of the flogging and suicides carried out their threat to suicide, ‘They met together and thirty of them sharcd what poison they could obtaln. That even- ing two died. Their convalsions and tie dead silence which reigned in the other cells roused the attention of the guards, who imwmediately summoned physicians who ad- ministergd emetics and endeavored by every +|-means to counieract the effects of the poison. s ki A Petition to the Ozar. PuicApeLema, Feb, 22.—A largely at- tended meeting of the ‘“‘Siberian Exile Pe- tition sssociation” this afternoon agreed upon the form of a petition to the czar of Russia, which will be circulated all over the United States for signatures. The petition, which ie a lengthy one, speaks of the inters est taken lhere in the Siberian exile system, commands the penal reform already accomplished in Russia and calls the attention of the czar to the feeling of u friendly people (Americans) that in the pun- ishment of some of her subjects Russia, whether from causes pecaliar to her people or an ancient custom, is not in all points in harmony with the humanizing sentiments of the age. A NAVAL KECEPTION, Officers of the FKFlag Ship Chicago Give a Pleasant One, [Copyright 189 by Jamss Gordon Benasee,) VILLA FRANCA, Feb, —|New York Her- ald Cable—Special to Tie Bee,|—Rear Ad- miral Walker and the Captain and officers of the flag ship Chicago on Thursday requested the attendance of the many old friends they found here on their arrival and the great number they have made since their advent into the harbor to an afternoon party. Five hundred and sixty-one of the welcome card invitations were sent out and of the recipi ents 561 wero present. The party was kept up from 2 o'clock in the afternoon till 5. The cards said notking about dancing, but somehow the young ladies knew there was going to be some and they came full of the idea and found good music. Any nuoi- ber of partuers were waiting for ' them. Pretty nearly every cab and carriage in Nice were taking their way towards Villa Franca early in the afternoon and formad a complete string nearly from Nice to the edge of the water, At Villa Franca the ship’s boats were in walting at the landing, and under the most able management of Lieutenant Roher the guests were taken off on board tue flag ship immediately on the arrival of the boats, being towed by launches, On board the Chicago the sceno was really fairylike, and the arrangements roflect the greatest credit on all concerned, The entire after part of the upper deck had been covered in and draped entirely with flags of all nations. All the ironwork and stancheons and such like had been artistic- ally festooned with garlands of myrtle, camelias and carnations, Wherever space permitted were attractively arranged groups offpalm and cactus aud other plauts and ferns. In the ‘venter sat the ship's band aod throughout the afternoon played with energy and effect. ‘lhe daucing was kept up most briskly and there were any number of pretty girls and matrons present. Any number of times I overhcard the remurk, repeated by men, **What a lot of protty women.” Those who were not keen about dancing had pleaty to interest them in looking at the big guns and admiring their neatness, and the ladies wmore especially were anxious to see the admiral's saug quar- ters and ocouny his best chair and have ex- seats, It vamshed completely in the parlia ment of 1887, It has now captured threo and has & fair prospect of gaiding eight on the second ballot. The position of the German liberals is doubtful, though Herr Richter, the leader, predicts that it ‘will bave fifty seats. Taking the whole result together as it stands, and os 1t is to stand after the decis- ion of the second ballot, the prospect is that the opposition will have 224 membors in the house against 178 membrs for the government group. This opposition will be made up as follows Centrists or ultramontanes, 10; German lib- erals or liberals, properly speaking, 45; so- cialists, 87; volkspartior democrats, 7: Poles, 11; Alsatian protesters, 12; Guelphs and Danes together, 18, This is a very hetoro- genous opposition held together by no devo- tion to any common purpose, but only by the negative tie of opposition; vet 1t is bound to give the government some lvely times. One incident of the contest is the defeat of Professor Virchow, a famous and popular man of science and a distinguished liberal, by Janiszewski, a poor journeyman book- binder and a Pole. Herr Woermann, Bismarck's friend, the Rreat Hamburg ship owner and the candi- date of the national liberals, was defeated by Dietz, a socialist. This astonished the socialists themselves. Hamburg is now ea- tirely in their hand The opposing press comments freely on the fact that after Lwelve years' operation of the law for the suppression of-socialists the becomo hotbeds of socialism. 1t is argued that since the law expires in September next the government must abandon the attemptto repress this movement by legislation or dis- solve thereichstag and appeal to the nation on this special issue. ‘The Vossische Zeitung attributes the de- feat of the Cartel or government combina- tion to the increased burden of taxation upon the poor people, combinea with the re- cent imperial rescripts. The Germania holds that the condemna- tion of the government is irrevocable, and that a dissolution and the election of a new reichstag would only confirm the result. It Bays that with the socialist vote tar beyond 8 million the emperor shotild separate him- f forever from the opportunists and cre- ate a body alive to serious social legislation, TheKreuz Zeitung traces the defect to the abandonment of religious ideas as the basis of party union, and urges the parties con- cerned for the maintenance of the existing order of things to combine for joint action on the second ballot: The Post and the National Zeitung also urge union, while the North American Ga- zette declines to discuss the results until they are complete. The press generally, in 80 far as it might give any reflection of official fecling, refrains from the attempt, but the progressist papors predict that Bismarck will immeaiately re- sign the presidency of the Prussian ministry and be succeeded by Boettecher, The ofticial opinion ou this subject llvorl the view that Bismarck's position has been strengthened by the result of the electivn, The emperor believed that the rescripts would check the progress of the socialists, and is consequently enraged at the discovery that this was an illusion. Oficials now quote Bismarck's saying that “‘the rescripts would assist the socialist candidates and could not weaken them.” It 18 thought that the emperor will return to the guidance of Bis- marek. According to a report in the Nachrichten, the early assembling of the labor conference is assured. This report says that Great Britain, France, ltaly, Switzerland, Bel- gium, Holland, Austria, Hungary, Sweden and Norway have consented to send dele- gates, while Russia has declined on the ground that her industries are conflued to the products of agriculture and forestry, and the United States has declined on the ground of tho very great differences between the condition of workmen in Eu rope and their condition in America. This report is totally unreliable. Of the govera- ments mentioned France, Englaud and Bwitzerland have asked for a dofinite pro- gramme iovolving the benefits of the in- quiry. None of the others have done more than to formally ack- nowledge their reception of the proposals, The emperor is personally engaged in draft- ing the programme, which 1s to be submitted to the council of state on the 20th. Itis @lready determined that the conference will not touch the subject of the eight hour agitation. BSeveral suggestions re- ceived from the Marquis of Salisbury indi- .cate that itis the iotention of the British | plained to them many difeult prob- government to send delegates, provided | lems of modern navagation.

To attempt to give a lisy of the guests would take too loug. ments to anythivg, sud that the pro- ceoalngs are merely deliberative. The emperor insists that one feature of the pro- gramme sball be the establishment of trade upions under official control, This would of course be, impossible in Eogland and it is doubtful whethes the workingmen of the continent will consent to be brigaded under stato ofticials, At 0:45 lonight there are sowe additional Mmuluu known of the election, The German liberals now claim that their roturns show they will have to contest in the supplementary elections sixty-two scats.

A Terrible Calamity, South Omala's groatest calamity ocourred yesterday. It hus brought sorrow and suffer- ing to many homes and with it went out the lives of three human beings, and serious and perhaps fatal injuries were inflicted in as many more, At10:151n the morning a telephone message was sent to Alderman Melcherts drug store instructing him to send to the Armour Cudahy vacking house every availablo phy- sician he could muster 1 South Omaba, The request was coupled with the informa- tion that & boiler had burst in the packiog house engine room und the lives of a number of human veings were in jeopardy. A minute afterwards an alarm was sounded calling the fire department to the works. As the tose cart dashed down N street and across the railroad tracks the hol- tin shiop, residos und in South bands and face serious wus amiss and a rush was made for the scene of the fire call. IN A MASS OF RUINS, were reached a terrible scene of dostruction was witnessed. The house is a large brlck When the main boiler and machinery root of the Armour-Cudahy hog killing houlu structure, one story high, uearly at the east- ern end of the plant. Ou tho north ana sep- -arated by.s partition In -the south room there was & batter of seven boilers furmshing steam for run- niog the machinery of the house. Alongside was a battery of two boilers used in connec- tion with the fertilizing deparvinent. At about 10:15 the men om- ployed i the department heard a dull, heavy report, and after that all was confusion Bricks, mortar, broken beams, scantling, 800t and escaping steam were mingled in one indescribable mass, THE ROOF FELL IN, burying everything under it aniwate and in- animate. ‘The smoke stack, & tall sheet iron affair, fell to the east and lay against the wall and across the area way. The other boilers were buried under the falling debris, pouring out steam that scalded and boiled the workmen with whom it came in contact, The work of rescaing the killed and in- jured was commenced at once. ~Manager Cudahy, Superintendents Halo and Howes, Assistant OMice Manager Kocnan and Head Engincer Phillips did everything within human power to KESQUE THE UNFORTUNATE A The fire department of the company, rein- forced by thie local department, had streams on the smoking and steaming pile in short order. Other willing hands faved the danger of falling walls aud another possible ex- plosion to reach their follow-workmen who were known to be in the room at the time, Physiciaus from South Omaba and clergy- men from the churches were there ready and eager to minister to the wants aud needs of the injured and dyine, Coroncr Harrigan was notified to come to the scene at once, I'he sisters at St. Josepu’s hospital were communicated with to be in readiness to receive the injured men for care and treatment. Ambulances were summoned from Omaha, surgical ald requested, in fact everything possible was done that could be done in the iimited time at command and the excitement that prevailed, TERRIBLE SCENES OF TORTURE, It 18 impossible to describe the heart-sick- ening sights witnees2d in the machinery room just north of the scene of the explosion, As 800u as & workman was reached whose mjuries were 80 severo that he had to be carried, the body was conveyed into the engine room, Those who wers not severely injured were taken to the company’s office on the extreme west of the plant, In the engine room workmen who wero fortunate enough to be safe and unin- jured stood over the forms of their fellows and with tear-glistened eyes listened to thelr. beartrending cries of pain or watched with uncovered heaas the last breath of life pass from out the quivering forms. Slowly but surcly JOUN TIGHE'S LIFE ENDED, and his name -was the first to enter on the death roll. Tighe was the head fireman, He leaves a wife and family and resided in Omaha on Thirteenth street, between Jack- son and Jones, He was crustied and injured internally. When rescued he was alive, but he was beyond medical aid, Near him, lying on the floor, was the writhing form of Michael Houlihan, He was alive and bis cries of pain were heart- reoding. His face and bands were black Fl with soot, while from his) extended arme there huog the grimy flesh that had been boiled and scorched by the escapiug steam, Houliliau 18 an unwurried wan and boards, at the Deheck house, He was assistiog the bricklayers at work on the boilers, He may survive his injuries but will be terribly scarred from his burns. MIS SKULL FPRACTURED.
