There are more laws and police regulations promulgated in this city than any three states in the Union, and less protection to the citizens.

Henry, of St. Louis—What England Would Do. St. Louis, Dec. 26.—Lieut.-Col. Guy Vv. Henry, commander of the Jefferson barracks, talked freely on the possibil ity of war with Engiand ani its re sults. “It is a hist rical fact,” saic Col. Henry, “that the United States hi engaged in a war about every twenty- five years, and the time is ripe for an other engagement. The only thing thai will stave off a conflict is a backdow: on the part of England. “If hostilities should break out Ing land’s course would be to attack ow seaports. She would station ironciad ir fromt of New York and Boston an: shell the cities, but that is not the en tire country. As to landing trocps in Canada, I venture to say that we could get 1,000,000 men cver there inside of thirty days, men, too, who have smell- ed powder. We could conyuer ihe whole of Canada and prevent them us- ing that as a base of operations. Eng- land might land troops elsewhere, but that is a small part of the business The principal part cf the work is to keep the men supplied with food and ammunition after they have landed.” Started a Mill by Wire. Gadsden, Ala., Dec. 26—The Dwight Manufacturing Company, of Chicopee, Mass., started its Southern mill here yesterday by electricity. A young wo- man at Winona, Minn., touched the button that started the machinery at 1 o'clock. She christened the 15,000-horse power engine Maybienne. The Western Union Telegraph Company arranged the electrical apparatus by a straight | eirouit of 2,300 miles. The mill began vperations yesterday. It is of 30,000 spindle capacity and is the jargest in Alabama. The electrical arrangement was fixed so as to break a bottle of champagne over the engine at the mo- ment of christening. The mill employs 800 people and 250 cottages are now be- ing completed by the Dwight Company. Preferred Poison to Pistol. Camden, N. J., Dec. 26—The body of a well-dressed middle-aged woman was found in a yard in this city yesterday morning, and has given the police a new mystery to work on. The dead woman was perhaps fifty years old She was neatly attired in black. By her side lay a small vial which con- tained a few drops of carbolic acid, and underneath her skirts was a new revolver which contained no cartridges There is no clue to her identity, Man and Wite Killed by Gas. Hummelstown, Pa., Dec. 26.—John H Baulsbaugh and his wife, who resid near Swatara, were found dead in their rooms yesterday from the effects of coal gas from a defective stovepipe. Mr. Baulsbaugh wes a director of the Hummelstown National Bank for many years. An only son survives. ‘ BROTHERS SEOT BROTIERS. An Overcoat Saved Young Clareuce Me- Murtry, but Wilber Pium Was Not So Lucgy. Plainfield, N. J., Dec. 24.—That Clar- snece McMurtry, of Somerset street, is ilive is due solely to a heavy overcoat. Yesterday morning as Mr. McMurtry was preparing to leave his home for Scott’s Press Works, where he is em- ployed. Clarence’s little brother Ray- mond, looking around for mischief, spied an old revolver, which had not used for years. Going into an ad- ing room, he saw his brother with uis heavy overcoat on, and thought- -essly pointed the revolver at him, ex- claiming: “Look out, or I’ll shoot!” The revolver went off. The bullet whistled by the head of Mrs. McMurt- , Who was carrying a lamp and let it fall in the excitement. The bullet hit Clarence just below his left shoulder- blade. The wound bled considerably, but Dr. Zizler says the injury is not dangerous. The boys were close enough together when the bullet was fired tc have caused instant death, but for the fortunate protection of the heavy over- coat. Shoots His Little Brother. Camden, N. J., Dec. 24.—Nine-year- old George Plum probably fatally shot his brother Wflber, six years old, at their home at Biedeman’s Station, just above Camden, last night. The boys’ parents, Mr, and Mrs. Maurice Plum, had gone out, leaving the youngsters ilone in the house. George began play- ing with his father’s breech-loading shotgun, but was greatly displeased tc find that it was not loaded. He soon found the shells, and, placing two of them in the gun, pointed the weapon at his brother and pulled the trigger. The shot took effect in the child’s head and face. PHELPS AND LINCOLN. Invited by the President to Act as Vene- zueia Commisioners. Washington, Dec. 26.—ae President has tendered places on the Venezuela commission to Edward J. Phelps, cf Vermont, ex-Minister to England, and Robert T. Lincoln, of Illinois, ex-Min- ister to-England, 7 ent Their acceptances have not been re- ceived and the third place un the com- mission will not be filled until Mr. Phelps and Mr. Lincoln accept. It is said that Mr. Line.n was Secretary Olney’s own selection, and that Chiet Justice Fuller, of illinois, also strengly recommended him, on the ground that a report signed by two former Ameri- can Ministers to England, both of whom have been warmly praised by the British press for many years, will have much weight in Great Britain. I is urged that public opinion in England cannot ascribe to such men as Phelps and Lincoln any prejudice against England, where they are both very popular. The third member of the commission is likely to be one of the Associate Jus- tices of the United States Supreme Court, probably either Justice Brewei or Justice Brown. Mr. Harlan, whose selection was strongly urged by sev- eral Senators, is not considered by the President. NEW MEXICAN ARMY RIFLE. Astonishing Demonstration of Its Force— Old Horses as Targets Mexico City, Dec. 26—The Depart- ment of War of the Mexican Govern- ment has recently made a most satis- factory test at 200 yards of the new rifle it is proposed to adopt in the Mex- ican army. <A block of hard wood, nearly six feet thick, was penetrated about thirty-nine inches, which is saic to exceed the record made by any othe: gun. To study the effect of the projectile upon a living body, five disabled artil- lery horses were stationed at a distance of 1,200 yards from the riflemen. The first horse fell, pierced through ths heart and died instantly. The death of the others was almost as rapid. The autopsy showed that the projectile, small though it was, was marvellously effective and must necessarily, by its shape and speed, prove almost instant- ly fatal. Another. singular circum- stance noted was that the entrance made by the bullet was so small as tc be scarcely perceptible. SHORES STREWN WITH WRECKS. Violent Gal s Continue on B itish Coast— Sh ps in Distress. London, Dec. 26.—The heavy gale has continued all around the coast of Gre Britain and Ireland. Many smai. wrecks have occurred within sight 0: persons on shore, and much wreckage stranded tells of further disasters o! which the details are not yet known The greatest anxiety is felt for all ve sels known to be at sea in the neigh- boring waters. Several gallant rescues are reported. The trawler Sunrise took refuge at Aberdeen in a much-damaged condi- tion> Five of her men were drowned. Friends of the crews of vessels in dis- teess gather on the shores, and there are heartrending scenes among the helpless lookers-on. In Kingstown Bay the bodies of the erew of the lifeboat which yesterday went to the rescue of an unknown three-mested vessel fiying signals ot distress, but which capsized before reaching the ship, are coming ashore. Shot at Wife and Self. New York, Dec. 26.—In a sudden fit of insanity, the culmination of weeks and weeks of despondency. brought on by family troubles and lack of work, Alfred F. Walker shot his wife, Mary, yesterday afternoon in a reception 100m of the Kings County Lunatic Asylum, at Flatbush, in which institution she had been confined as a patient since last May. Then putting the pistol te his own head, he fired a second shot, from the effects of which, in all proba- bility, he will die. Mrs. Walker wes not seriously wounded. Canadians Called to Arms, Halifax, N. S., Dec. 26.—One of the leading newspapers of this city ex- presses the opinion that there has got to be war between Great Britain and the United States. It believes a con flict absolutely unavoidable, and urges Canadians to at once prepare for it, so as to be found ready at the right moment.
