The depositaries reported a very consider- able and constant increase both in the for- eign and home deposits, and there appears now no longer to be any doubt that a ma- jority of the first mortgage bonds will shortly be under the control of the com- mittee; in fact, it is understood that the committee already holds a majority of what is considered the most important di- vision of the system.

WORK OF SYMPATHIZERS Philadelphia’s Mayor Compelled to Issue a Proclamation to Citizens. ONE HUNDRED ARRESTS MADE. Only One Railway Line Operating in the City of Brotherly Love. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.,, Dec. 17.—Riot and destruction marked the opening day of the great strike of the streetcar em- ployes of the Union Traction Company. Aidea by the mischievous, lawless ele- ment, the strikers to-day succeeded in com- pletely tying up the lines of the Union Traction Company, and to-night, with the exception of the one line not controkled by the company not involved in the strike, not a streetcar wheel is turning in Phila- delphia. To the credit of the strikers it may be said that the disorders were created by too ardent sympathizers and mischievous boys. About 300 cars were badly wrecked. This afternoon the Mayor issued a proc- lamation calling upon all good citizens to preserve the peace and asking them to refrain from gathering in crowds on the streets. He further added that violence and riot would be met with force, and that the peace of the city will be preserved at all hazards. The suddenness of the outbreak to-day seemed to take the police by surprise, and fora time cars were wrecked with impunity in the very heart of the retail shopping dis- trict. Then the reserve patrolmen were massed at every threatened point, and to- night every policeman in the city is on duty. The company made no attempt to run cars to-night, but under police protection they will start the Market-street branch of their line to-morrow morning and trouble is sure to follow. Despite. the stone- throwing only one person was seriously hurt, a policeman, who had his club taken away from him by the crowd and w. beaten into insensibility and to-night is in | the hospital suffering from concussion of the brain. The police made about 100 arrests and all the rioters were held under heavy bail. The vrincipal streets are thronged with people to-night, but there was no disturb- ance up to a late hour. FEDERATION OF - LABOR. Boycott on the Products of the American Tobacco Company. Resolution That Party Politics Have No Place in the Present Convention. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 17.—The American Federation of Labor convention was resumed this morning. Delegate Lannon of the committee on labels and | boycotts reported favorably on the boycott | of the products of the American Tobacco Company. Delegate Barnes’ resolution of yesterday “that it is clearly the duty of union | workingmen to organize and maintain a political party devoted exclusively to their own interests as to organization in trade and labor unions,” was taken up. Delegate O’Sullivan moved the adoption of the following substitute resolution: Resolved, That this convention declares that party politics, whether Democratic, Republi- can, Socialistic, Populistie or any other,should have no place in the Federation of Labor. This was carried by a vote of 1460 to 158. Delegate E. H. Diehl introduced a reso- lution stating that the officials in the Treasury Department were openly and flagrantly permitting the violation of the eight-hour law in Government work. The resolution which was adopted directs that charges be preferred against the Secretary of the Treasury. A recess was taken until 1:30 p. ., after which the convention went into executive session to discuss the report of the com- mittee on grievances. The question of the election of two fra- ternal delegations to the British Trades Congress, to be held September 3, 1896, re- sulted in the selection of John McBride, the retiring president, and Adolph Straus- ser of Buffalo, ex-vresident of the Interna- tional Cigar-makers’ Union. After congratulatory resolutions on the presidency of ex-President McBride had been adopted the convention adjourned sine die. HAMILTON'S AN UAL BANQUET.

AN APE WITH A MEMORZX. Makes Things Lively for Men Who Have Offended Him. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 17.—H. H. Cordis, who has a saloon at pier 3, Hamil- | ton ferry, Brooklyn, owns an ape named Jack. Robert Allison, a driver for the Knickerbocker Ice Company, gave the ape a chunk of ice one day last summer. The ape danced about howling with pain, but held on to the ice. Yesterday when Allison went into the saloon with a cake of ice the animal was perched upon the cage about three feet from the beer box. Allison turned his back to arrange the ice cakes in" the refrigerator, when Jack sprang upon his | showider with a cry of anger. ~Before Allison knew what was the matter Jack had dug his claws into his neck and fastened” his teeth in his ri:ht ear. The barkeeper pulled the ape from Allison’s back, Jack still fighting and trying to tear Allison’s ear off with his teeth. While Allison is in no immediate danger of death, his wounds are of a character that will be slow in healing, and the physician is afraid of blood poisoning. s Jack some time ago took a dislike toa sailor who gave him a chew of tobacco in a peanut, and three months after, when the sailor returned from a tiip, having for- gotten all about the occurrence, the animal attacked him and nearly cLewed off one hand. e Mrs. Stanford’s Jewelry.

Both cars, which were well filled with passengers, were considerably wrecked, but by a miracle all of the passengers es- caped serious injury. One or two received slight cuts from broken glass. All trains were delayed about eight hours. THE CLAN-HA-GAEL. ARNY, Two Companies of Irish-American Volunteers Formed in Chicago. Ready to Perform Service in the Field Against Any Foe of This Country. CHICAGO, IrL., Dec. 17.—Two com- | panies of the *Irish Volunteers,” an Irish- | American army,. have been formed in | Chicago. The army is an inner wheel of | the Clan-na-Gael, the secret organization | which has been actively identified with many revolutionary movements in behalf | of the green isle. Each camp of the Clan-na-Gael through- | out the country is now organizing one or | more companies of the new army. These | companies have been organized by camps | Henry Grattan and Robert Emmet. The | first numbers sixty-two men and the second | (the newer) has only nineteen men at pres- ent, but reports fifteen or more ready to join. Camp Dr. P. H. Cronin will have acompany ready to muster in within a month and Camp Celtic will have one b; the 1st of February. It expected a full regiment of ten companies will be raised in Chicago. The local companies of the Irish Volun- | teers will make tueir first appearance in public on March 4, the anniversary of the death of Robert Kmmet. The man at the head of the movement in Chicago is Patrick McGarry, a promi- nent member of the Clan-na-Gael, and national secretary of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Associated with him are John Ryan, P. W. Dunne, Martin Dowling and W. P. Wren. Patrick McGarry said yesterday: “Or- ganization in this city has been slow, owing to the factional lights which have existed here and the circumstances grow- ing out of the murder of Dr. Cronin, “*Although the men who had any con- nection with the notorious ‘Triangle’ were repudiated and expelled by the Clan-na- Gael, it took the society some time to over- come the prejudice aroused against it at | the time of the murder and the subsequent trials. “Qur organization differs materially from the Hibernian Rifles, which is at- tached to the Ancient Order of Hiber- nians, and which requires its members to be of the Catholic faith and Irish parentage. While one of our objécts is to fight for Ireland, it is second to our first object—to be ready to perform service in the field for ou= own country against Eng- land or any other nation.” PROMBTION N ALASKA Territorial Grand Jury Inveighs Against the Stringent Regulations. Liquor-Sellers Indicted Under Protest by an Investigating Body at Juneau. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasm., Dec. 17.— The people of Alaska are divided into two factions over the enforcement of the liquor laws, which are intended to prohibit the sale of intoxicants in the Territory. One faction demands that liquors be sold in the Territory without prohibitory restriction, and the other, including the Government officials, insists upon the enforcement of the law. At present the latter faction has the better of it. All the saloon-keepers and liquor-deaiers were indicted by the Grand Jury last week, in accordance with the explicit instructions of Judge Truitt, but append ed to the report was the following: “We have presented your Honor with true bilis against all the saloon-keepers and manufacturers of intoxicating liauors in Juneau, Douglas Island, Sitka and Fort Wrangle, because your Honor's clear in- structions gave us no alternative, but we take this opportunity to say—and we believe that in doing so we express the sentiments of nine-tenths of the people of Alaska—that the prohibitory law, so faras it applies to us, is obnoxious and repug- nant alike to the principle of home rule and the American spirit of freedom. “‘Owing to the damp and rigorous cli- mate of Alaska a stimulant becomes a necessily to those exposed to theelements. We believe therefore that the only teal, lasting and_satisfactory solution of the liquor question is the granting of licenses upon the payment of the usual fees; the money derived from said fees to be util- ized in carrying out necessary improve- ments, such as organizing a good sanftary system for the prevention of diseases caused by breathing impure air, repairing our streets and sidewalks, etc. e feel that though we are in Alaska we are still in the United States, and a statement of our needs is entitled to as much consid- eration from the National Government as would be given to the requirements of the District of Columaia. A licensing system would eventually stop all smuggling, would give all the business to American merchants, the Government would derive arevenue instead of having, as at present, to maintain a revenue steamer in our waters engaged in a fruitless attempt to seize contrabrand goods; and lastly, all keepers of licensed houses would assist in bringing to justice persons known to sell without a license.” HARRISBURG ~ CRIME Third Attempt to Take the Life of Miss Ethel Riddle. STABBED IN THE DARK. An Eighteen-Year-0ld Girl At; tacked at the Threshold of Her Home. CRIME OF A JEALOUS SUITOR Twice Before the Unknown Assassin Had Fired Upon the Young ‘Woman. ALBANY, Or., Dec. 17.—News comes from Harrisburg that an unknown would-be assassin attempted to murder Miss Ethel Riddle there Saturday night. The girl, who is about 18 years old, lived with her uncle, George Henderson. After supper she started to leave her home, and as she emerged from the door she was seized. by a man in the darkness. He stabbed her in the neck and across the wrists. She broke away and ran scream- ing toward the house. Mrs. Henderson, hearing her cries, ran to the door and the assailant fled. A physician who was called found that the girl’s wounds were not dangerous, the gash in her neck having missed an artery. Twice before, recently, Miss Riddle has been the victim of attempted assassin- ation, having been fired upon in the darkness. Her stories concerning the at- tacks were scarcely believed by her rela- tives, who thought she was frightened at promiscuous shooting in the reighbor- hood. The young girl's assailant was not recognized in the darkness, and the only theory as to the cause of the attempted murder is that the deed was prompted by the jealousy of a rejected suitor.

Why Medicine Fails. Drugs are like whisky, only a temporary stimulant, a blind by which the weakened or- ans are put in a stupor to quiet their craving or help; & tem{wrfll’y tonic which braces them up for & short time and deserts them finally, * leaving them worse than before taking. This .is true of all drugs used to renew vitality. It does not renew sirength because there is no element in medicine to restore the power to the nerves, upon which all vital organs live. That nerve power is electricity. That is why Dr. Sanden’s Belt Cures. *It cured me of what doctors called Bright's Qisease after I had spent $700 on medicine without relief.” Charles Mang, Walla Walla, ‘Wash. “It cured me of Paralysisin fl(ty~fivs>dlys‘ after Ihad tried everything else without avail.” ?nvgdlu.
