The bouus asked by the owners of the plant was $500. St. Eaward's trust fund was a litle too small to meet it. The business men called a meet- ing and it took abcut fifteen minutes Lo raiso $750, with a good prospect vf $150 more from the absent ones. ‘The farmer reprosentatives present guaranteed a fund of a like amount in subscriptions from the couutry. The Git- feronce between $500 ana the amount raised will jo all probability reach the sum of 81,000, which amount, will be held in trust and offervd as a bonus when business inter- ests demand it.

Interest centered mainly in the selection of the chairmon of the dele- gation, and some bitterness was provoked on account of the alleged offort of recent con. verts to overthrow the plans of old workers.

Not long ago there was a spirited “event” be- tween & local middleweight and a South Omaha nuknown, in which the local manjdid not know that he was ou the ground about three minutes from the end. The succes wita which this was kept in the dark en- couraged the leaders in the affair aud last night there was another on the tapis.

The first was jast in the way of a rolish and was spirited but bloodless. It wasa bout between two ambitious local darkies and was fought with six-ounce gloves. The second sct-to was out of signt. This was also between two evony-hued sons of Ham and was for blood from the start. Nearly the first blow struck made the carmine flow freely, and knock- downs were in order. The fight lasted five rounds, but as no time was wasted in spar. ring tho sports considered that they received the fuil worth of thoir money. Honors were casy up to the beginning of the fifth round, and both men were a trile groggy. One of the combatants, however, succeeded in land- ing a scorching mieht-hand blow on his oppo- nent’s oye that ended the fight. It was a knockout blow and doubled the fellow up unul after time was called. The prime movers in this affair say that there will ba something in the wina again before long if the supply ot darkies is not oxhausted and the bloods continue to put up the casb. N.

SECRETARY FOSTER INTERVIEWED. He Answersa Few Questions Put to Him by an Assoclated Press Reporter. LoxpoN,March 3.—Hon. Robert T.Liocoln, the United States minister, called upon Hoa. Charles Foster, secrotary of the treasury, today, and with him proceeded %o the House of Commons where they iistened to the de- bate. Mr. Foster will go to Brighton to- morrow and oo Saturday he will start for Paris. After roturning from the House of Com- mons Mr. Fostor in an interview said: “Mr. Lincoln got me a seat in the diplomatic rallery where I had the good luck to hear some of tue best speakers. Mr. Gladstone approached the nearest to our American ideas of a good speaker. Mr. Labouchere, who was next, resombled a good congress- ionul debater. After the debate I went to the lobby where a number of members were introduced to me.” *‘Was thers nothing asked about the immi- gration commissionersi”? “Not there, but in the short timme I have been hore I have several times been asked to explain statemeuts cabled as the report made by the whole commission.” Was the alleged system of sonding conyictsto Auerica oue of the subjects “Yes, the question in Partiamentin re- gard to the mattor and the comments of papers were based on a misapprehension that the whole commission was responsible for the report,” ““When I appointed the commission I deemed it & right to select among the five commis- sloners one direct representative of the labor interests, That was Mr. Powdeérly and I do not find fault with his report. But that story about ex-conviets had its origin in Mr. Shuitie’s report. People on the other side will treav the story on its morits. Here the mistake is made of taking the statemeut as supplied by the whole commission. ““Does that explanation apply to another commissioaer's assertion that 22,000,000 acres of productive lands are lying 1dlo here? **As far as each commissioner is individu- ally responsible, I do not know ‘whera Mr. Powderly got the estimate. I would not like 1o say his report has & partisan bias, but aat- uraily he reports in behalf of those he feels with. Congress is a good judge of the accu- ey and spirit of the statement. My aim in appointing the commission and in drafting the suggestions recently was not to block emigration, but to get the best ctass of emi- rants, America assimilates all. All nare welcome except the refuse . populaco of Burope.” When shown the Associated Press dis- patch announcing that arruncements have been made by the Hamburg-American Packet company und the Russian government for a medical inspection of Russiau emigrauts in- tending to proceed to tue United States, Sec- retary Foster said: “I do not believe the new regulations will tind opposition among them, In the meantime they appear willing 10 act with us.” Leayving the emigration question, Mr. Fos- ter said that he had intended to go to Paris, but hud changed bis mind and meant to stay in England until be sailed for home. He feit a great deal better. He lost about fifty pounds in weight through his attack of the grip, but ho was now regaining what he had lost.

The fame of Father Adams, the Brooklyn faith-healing priest,is spread- ing beyond Long Isiand, Crowds of physical cripples call upon him every day. keeping him employed from 8 a. m. till far into the night. In the rear of the parlors isa small private office whero the father keeps the us relics—the piece of the true cross, the bones of the saints and other mementos—and performs his cures, says the New York Herald. A heavy cur- tain separates this room from the par- lors, About every twenty minutes Father Adams pulls buck the curtain and admits about twenty of the suffer- ers. The others crowd around the cur- tain and wait for their turn. Within the curtain the healing cere- monies are very simple. The priest offers prayer, converses with the pa- uents, exhibits and applies the retics and blesses the patients, They then kneel and offer their own devotions as Father Adums directs, ho prays again with them and dismisses the They go out by a side door and the next twenty are admitted. He asks none of them for money for his services, but there is a box on tho table in which they may leave contributions if they see fi. Many of the patients do not pay any- thing, because they are too poor, but all are treated exactly alike. 1If all paid at the usual rates for medi service Father Adams would goon get rich. Men and women of all ages and all conditions of life ana innumerable chil- dren are in the company. While they wait for a chance to get- into the priest’s presenco thoy. talk in whispers about the wonderful cures that he is said to have effected. One was a Willinmsburg boy who had been fifteen years a cripple from rheu- matisin. After one of the relics had been applied to his forehead and the fa- ther had prayed over him, he was taken home und the next day ke was perfectly well. His crutches wero thrown away for ho could walk as well as anybody. Another case was a girl who had been suffering for a long time from a sciatic affection, the result of a fall. She was d, s0 the people said, at the first plication of the relics. None of the pe pie would admit that they had heard of any cuses whero the alleged miraculous cures had failed to he eflective. Their faith in Father Adams and his methods was unbounded. Most of the people who invoke his as- sistance are chronic invalids with ner- vous or organic complaints. There has heen no instance of the application of the priest’s powers to any acute disor- der. The doctors explain the good re- sults he seems to have achieved by say- ing that imaginution and hope are great factors in the cure of many norvous dis- orders. But Father Adams ascribes it all to the relics, many of which he gath- ered at great expense in Europe. It is an established fact that a man who for years has been tvortured with respiration sevoral times as rapid as the normal, and who had consulted wmany eminent physicians without relief, got rid of his trouble between dawn and dark of u single day, after an application of prayer and holy relics, and that all of his atiing acquaintances have ever since kept the priest’s door ajar, some of them going away in the belicf that they had been permanently benefited, The worker of these alleged cures, who attributes his success to divine aid, is a stalwart man of 50 years—a man of tho kind whom the weak and credulous would instinctively obey so far as their nerves and muscles would allow, and if he has compelled u lot of hypochondriacs to once wore come under their own con- trol, he hus done a great deal of good, whatever may be his method, or lack of it. Such men are of uuspeakable ser- vice to physicians, all of whom are haunted by a lot of people who imagino themselves ill and are sure they know what is the mattor with them.
