NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 31.—The re- NOT SIGNED. | port that the bond syndicate contract with the Government for the sale of $100,000,000 now 4 per cent bonds had been signed is premature, so say leading bankers. The subscriptions for the new loan, according to banking officials, foot up anywhere from $100,000,000 to $155,000,000. Report -has it that J. P. Morgan has secured $25,000,000 of this amount and James Stillman of the | City Bank an equal amount. The Deutsche Bank of Berlin is credited with being ready to take another$25,000,000. A rumor w1 urrent that Russell Sage was person- ally interested in the syndicate to the ex- | tent of $10,000,000, but this was subse- quently denied. STRIKERS NOT SATISFIED Disappointing Terms Made by the Union Traction Com- pany. gument, that | An Appeal for Assistance Sent to the | Leading Societies of Phila- delphia. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 3l.—When the street railway ke was declared off a week ago and the strikers returned to work it was the understanding that they were to have a hearing from the Union Traction Company officials, at which hearing the grievances of the men could be presented. This hearing was given last night, a com- | mittee of the employes having a confer- ence with General Manager Beetem which lasted several hours. The result of the conference was disappointing to the men, particularly the refusal of the general manager to grant them $2 for a ten-hour workday. Mr. Beetem consented to give the men | | who struck their old runsand to put the non-union men on as extras. The propo- sitions of Mr. Beetem will be submitted to A meeti of the strikers for action. Meanwhile the strike leaders anticipate considerable opposition from the men to | these propositions, and this afternoon the executive committee of the strikers met and drew up an address to the Christian League, Tonbee Society, Universal Peace Union, Woman’s Health Protective Asso- | Labor, Single Tax Society, Weslevan | Brotherhood, Young Men’s Congress and | Mrs. Inora Worthington Bellews. The ad- | dress is as follows: | “Acting upon the advice of yoursand | many other leading societies in Philadel- | phia in bringing to a ciose the strike which | was inaugurated to bring bt our just | demands, being assured that-1f we would | peaceably return to work that they would assist us in every way in their power to | secure our demands, which they felt were just and right, we now appeal at this time or your assistance, as we have been mak- | ing every effort in our power to secure these demands, but so far have been un- successful. Our men have become restless | and impatient. We fear the worst and | would kindly ask you to lend us your as- | sistance and aid in bringing about a just and amicable adjustment of these ques- tions.” SRR OLD CUSTOMS WANING. ‘Open House” No Longer a New-Year Day Feature. | WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31. — An | effulgent evening, giving promise of a brilliant New Year's day to-morrow, ushers {in the opening' of festivities and official ceremonies of 18%. New-Year receptions in their old conventional sense have been gradually fading in Washington, and | the tradition of *‘open house' in its old meaning is waning fast. The receptions | of citizens outside of official circles to- { morrow will be confined almost entirely to { intimate friends. The official ceremonies will be ushered !in with the President’s reception at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, when, faliowing the greetings from the Vice-President, the | Cabinet officers and the members of the | diplomatic corps, army and navy officers | and other distinguished retinue and citi- zens generally, the President’s reception {at2 p. > will end. The President will, | following the precedent of years, be as- sisted in welcoming his callers by Mrs. | Cleveland and the ladies of the Cabinet. Merging into the time of Whife House | ceremonies will come, as scon’ as the offi- | cial callers have reached their homes, the reception of foreign Ministers, Cabinet ; officers and others prominent in official | station. These, with many citizens, will be at home at certain hours to accept and | respond to the felicitous saiutations of the. | New Year’s greeting from many friends. . 1 WITH MINGLED OMENS. How the New Year Dawns in Great Britain. LONDON, Ex6., Dec. 31.—~The Times to- morrow will say: The New Year opens with mingled ternal politics is most serious; even alarm- ing. The revival of the war spirit in the United States, or what stimulates it, and the prolonging of the uncertain position in the East are almost equally disquieting. The long-impending ¢risis in South Africa has become acute. We are bound, therefore, {0 be prepared for the contin- zel}cies Wwhich may call for a vigorous ex- ertion of power, that last resert that must be relied upon to hold the British empire, toggther_.

Dec. 81.—In Wise County, Va., yesterday evening Bill Wells and Gus Osborne met Jim Cox and A. B. Williams, two desperate mountain out. laws, on the public road a half mile from Donkey, heavily armed with Winchesters, for the purpose of fighting out a dispute. Firing continued for more than two hours, Wells and Osborne were killed and Cox aver a Christmas row. ( o | | | | | PAGUE 1S DISMISSED. Approval by the President of the Lieutenant’s Sentence. PUT OUT OF THE ARMY. Failure of the Attempt to Justify the Shooting of Colonel Crofton. GUILTY OF ALL THE CHARGES. Convicted of Drunkenness on Duty and an Assault to Kill a Su- perior Officer. WASHINGTON, D.C., Dec. 3i.—Lieu- tenant Samuel S. Pague of the Fifteenth Infantry Regiment was to-day dismissed from the United States army in accordance with the findings of a court-martial. The charge on which Lieutenant Pague was tried was based on an attempt made by him on the life of the commanding officer of his regiment, Colonel Crofton, at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, where the Fif- teenth Infantry is stationed. The verdict of the court-martial was “guilty,” and yesterday afternoon Presi- dent Cleveland approved this finding. The attempt made by Lieutenant Pague to kill Colonel Crofton was sensational. At the time of the happening last summer, it was stated at Fort Sheridan that the lieu- while the latter was commanding the regi- ment on dress parade, and fired at him with a revolver. At the trial, however, it was shown that the attempt was made in the apartments of Lieutenant Pague, where Colonel Crof- ton was making a call on Mrs. Pague. Lieutenant Pague tried toshoot the colonel but was disarmed. He managed to fire a shot, however, when Crofton had left his quarters, and the bullet passed through the colonel’s coat. In his own defense Lieutenant Pague claimed that Colonel Crofton’s attentions to Mrs. Pague had not been proper. After the conclusion of the trial®a medical examination of Lieutenant Pague, to de- termine his sanity, was held, but the re- sult indicated only that the lieutenant was addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors. There is much sincere sorrow felt for Lieutenant Pague among army officers, who describe him as frank, manly and courageous. He wasborn in Ohio, and was appointed to the military academny from that State. He was graduated in 1: The general order dismissing Lieutenant Pague from the service was promulgated this afternoon, and takes effect immedi- ately. It shows that he was found guilty of every charge and specification pre- ferred. The charges were drunkenness on duty, attempt to kill a superior officer, and assault with intent to murder. IN A BLAZE OF GLORY, Close of the Successful Exposi- tion of the Cotton States. During the Last Day at Atlanta All Ceremony Was Dispensed With, ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 31.-—The final day of the exposition opened with a clear sky, During the early morning the temperature was very low, but as the sun rose it moderated rapidly and the cars to the ex- position were well filled. The grounds were thronged with people and the buildings were full. Many of the exhibitors had a small harvest in the sale of souvenirs, while the Chinese village auctioned off its bric-a-brac. The exhibits were all in good shape and were not dis- turbed until after dark. During the afternoon camels and don- keys of Cairo street were driver out, but most of the places on the Midway were wide open and doing a good business. Altogether the crowd was one of the largest during December. There was no ceremonial. There had been so much of ceremony heretofore that it wasdetermined to let the last day be a free and easy affair so that the visitors might make the best of their time seeing thre exhibits. This evening, as dark came on, the beau- tiful illumination was given and the elec- tric fountain for the last time displayed its charms. Although there was a large crowd the best of order prevailled and everybody seemed to be in a goud hgmor. The directors held a meeting at 4 o'clock and transacted some business of import- ance, mainly directed to fire and police protection for the buildings. To-night, at 6 ». M., a force of experts began packing up the pictures in the art gallery, and at the same time a similar work was begun on the Government ex- hibits in the Mines and Forestry building. seriously wounded. The trouble originated | ¢ It is expected that the work of packing and shipping exhibits in the Government building will proceed rapidly. In the Manufacturers’ building the foreign ex- hibitors will attempt to dispose of their wares as far as possible before packing up. Mr. Inman, chairman of the finance omens. At home the auguries are in|committee, said the exposition, when all every way favorable. The outlook of ex- | the debts are paid, will have cost Atlanta about $200,000, or less than 10 per cent of the money expended on the fair, This in- cludes the original stock subscription and the appropriation by the city. This is re- garded as very satisfactory. It is esti- mated that the immediate benefit to Atlanta in money expended here by expo- sition visitors amounts to $5,000,000 and that the ultimate benefits to the city and the cotton States are immeasurably beyond this or any other conservative figure that could be made. SQUABBLE OVER A DEATH MASK® Sculptor Trentanove and Colléctor Hut- ton Cannot Agree. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Dec. 31.—There is a heated controversy going on between Laurence Hutton of New York and Signor Trentanove, an Italian sculptor of this city. Itison account of the death mask of Eugene Field, the dead poet. Trenta- nove secured a death mask of the poet, and Hutton, who is a collector of death masks, wrote to the sculptor to see if he ould get a duplicate of it. In reply he re ceived a letter saying that no copie tenant had rushed upon Colonel Crofton would be made, but that the mask itself was for sale for the sum of $1000. In the January number of the Bookman appeared what purported to be a copy of a scathing regly by Hutton. Trentanove denies t:at he received any such letter, and publishes the correspondence. In the letters tiere 1s nothing in line with the letter in the Bookman, Hutton merely wrflti:g that he cannot pay the price asked. el DESERTED WIFE AND CHILDREN. Eev. Mr. Dillon Left His Family in a Destitute Condition. EMPORIA, Kaxs., Dec. 31.—The Rev. J. B. Dillon, who has been missing for some time, was heard from to-day. A letter from him mailed on the cars near La Jun- ta. Colo., was received by his wife in which he mforms ber that he is never coming back. He loft her and two children, one of them a deaf mute, in destitute circum- stances. 1In fact, when their condition was discovered the family were on the verge of starvation, but they were soon placed 1n comfort. Dillon is an evangelist of considerable celebrity in the Christian or Campbellite church and is known throughout the Union. He obtained some mnotoriety in California, and fora time was suspended from the ministry, but was reinstated pre- vious to coming to Kansas. The church people here are much agitated over the matter and are desirous that the facts be made known to the publi cee e INVESTIGATION CLUSED. Enough Testimony Heceived to Refute Dunraven’s Charges. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 31.—The spe- cial committee of the New York Yacht Club, sitting as a court of inquiry into the charges made by Lord Dunraven against the people in charge of the Defender, con- cluded its labor of taking testimony in the THE | case to-day. The hearing opened with the examina- tion of the riggers who did not testify yes- terday. Mr. Askwith exhausted his skill as a cross-examiner in his efforts to tangle the sturdy workmen, but without avail, and their evidence went on the record un- shaken, as has been the case with all the Defender testimony. The committee finished the investigation at 11:25, when Mr. Choate and Mr. Ask- with, opposing counsel, then left the club. EXTENDING THE LINES, Enterprise of the Missouri, Kan- sas and Texas Trust Company. Race of the Road to Get Into Kansas City Ahead of Its Rivals. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 31.—The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Trust Com- vany of this city has practically gained control of the Omaha and St. Louis Rail- road, which extendas from Pattensburg, Mo., to Omaha, Nebr., a distance of 145 miles. The road will be made a part of the Kansas City Northern connecting railway system, one of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas enterprises. Its ac- quirement assures Kansas City new con- nections with Quincy, Omaha, Des Moines and other Northern cities, and is one of the last moves necessary to bring the Baltimore and Obic; 445 Illinois Central and the Chicago Northweste:m to this city. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Com- pany has pushed ahead zealously since it started to extend its railway enterprises north of Kansas City, and expects to have trains running into its grand central depot before the Kansas City and Atlantic Rai way, the rival enterprise, completes its brid e across the river. The Kansas City Northern connecting company will either use the Milwaukee bridge or build another one close to it. The Omaha and St. Louis road will be sold on January 27, and will be imme- diately bought in by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Company. Contracts will be made at once, and twenty-seven miles of | track laid between Pattensburz and Trenton, Mo. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Trust Company has already ac- quired the Quincy, Omaha and Kansas City, which extends from Quincy, IlL., to Omaha, a distance of 136 miles, and will control the Des Moines and Kansas City line, which runs from Des Moines to Cainesville, Mo. They are the important links in the company’s northern chain of railways, and they will be connected as quickly as time and money will permit. The purchase of the Omaha and St. Lous will ultimately give Kansas City a short and fast line Ea e e Thurston at a Banquet. OMAHA, Ngsg., Dec. 31.—United States Senator John M. Thurston, who recently resigned his position as general solicitor of the Union Pacific Railway Company when entering upon his public duties, was a guest at a banquet given to-night by the | officials of that company and other distin- guished men of the city. Judge W. R. Kelly, who was Thurston’s assistant and is now his successor, was toastmaster. Hon. J. M. Woolworth delivered the chief addlress, to which Thurston made a fitting reply. = e Land in Litigation. OSHKOSH, Wis., Dec. 31.—Four hun- dred acres of land in the city of Oshkosh, having & probable valuation of hundreds of thousands of dollars, is about to be thrown into litigation, and hundreds of residents of the city may e called upon to prove a clear title to the property which they now hold as their own.

'8 — e EPPLOSION IN A MINE. Many Killed and Injured by a Disaster in Silesia. _BERLIN, Geryuaxy, Dec. 31.—An explo- sion occurred in a coal mine at Wrangle, Prussian Silesia, yesterday, causing the death of a large number of workmen. with the usual custom of conferring hon- ors on the occasion of the New Year, the Queen has elevated to the peerage Sir Frederick Leighton, president of the Royal Academy, and Henry Hucks Gibbs, formerly a member of the House of Com- mons and later a director of the Bank of Eneland, and has knighted the Hon. H. P. P. Crease, Senior Puisne Judge of Brit- ish Columbia. Henry H. Gibbs has been a large donor to the purse of the Conserva- tive party. Her Majesty also appointed Alfred Aus- tin poet laureate, an office which has been vacant since the death of Lord Tennyson on October 6, 1892. | Alfred Austin, the new poet laurcate, is a poet, critic and journalist. He was born at Headingley, near Leeds, May 30, 1835. His father was a merchant and magistrate of the Borough of Leeds, and his mother was the sister of Joseph Locke, the emi- nent civil engineer and member of Parlia- | ment for the Borough of Honiton, of which he was lord of the manor. Both his parents being Roman Catholics, he was sent - to Stonyhurst College and afterward | to St. Mary’s College, Oscott. From | Oscott he took his degree at the University of London. 1n 1853 and in 1857 he was called to the bar of the Inner Temple. But the publication, althongh anonymous- ly, of a poem eutitied “Randolph,” when he was 18 years of age, showed the bent of his disposition, and it may be stated, on the authority of Mr. Austin himself, that he ostensibly embraced the study of law only in deference to the wishes of his parents, and from his earliest years was imbued with the desire and determination to devote his life mainly to literature. The expression of this resolve is found in a novel written and published while he was yet a minor. On the death of his father, in 1861, he quitted the Northeast | Circuit and went to Italy. His first ac- knowledged volume of verse, “The Sea- | son, a Satire,” appeared in 1861. A third | and revised edition of ‘“The Season” ap- | peared in 1869. His other poetical produc- | tions are: “The Human Tragedy,” 1862, | republished in an amended form in 1876, and again finally revised in 1889; “The | Guldeit Age, & Satize,” 1871; “Interludes,” 1872; “Rome’s Death,” 1873; ““Madonna’s Child,” 1n 1873; “The Tower of Babel, a Drama,” in 1874; “Leszke, the Bastard, a Tale of Polish Grief,” 18 ‘“Savonarola, a Tragedy,” 1881; “Soliloquies in Song,” | ‘At the Gate of the Convent,’ “Love’s Widowhood, and Other Poems,” *“Prince Lucifer” and “English Lyrics,” all pub- lished between 1881 and 1890. He has published three novels—"Five Years of It,”” 1858; ““An Artist's Proof,” 1834, and “Won by a Head,” 1866; also “The Poetry of the Period,” reprinted from Temple Bar, 1870, and **A Vindication of Lord Byron,” 1869, occasioned by Mrs, Stowe’s article, “The True Story of Lord | Byron’s Life.” | He has written much for the London | Standard and for the Quarterly Review. During the sittings of the Ecumenical | Council of the Vatican he represented the Standard at Rome, and he was a special | correspondent of that journal at the head- guariers of the King of Prussia in the | Franco-German war.
