St. Louis, March 15.—Judge Portis, gen-
eral attorney of the Missouri Pacific, made
a formal application to-day to the board of
police commissioners for local protection,
the intention seeming to be to cover all
legal requirements first and then make a
, determined effort to move trains. The
board, after a long discussion of what con-
stituted interference, issued orders to Chief-
of-police Harrigan to use his force to pre-
vent trespassing upon the company's pro-
perty within the city's limits and interfer-
ence" with railroad trains thereia.
hungarian miners strike.
Pittsburgh, March 15.—A Dubois (Pa.)
special says: " Three hundred Hungarians
at the Walston mines struck to-day for the
Columbus convention scale. If they are
successful it will entitle them to an ad-
vance from 40 to 47 'i cents per ton. This
strike is a week in advance of the one or-
dered throughout the fourth district, and
was a surprise to every one. Nothing can

when it is expected the operators will meet
a committee of miners to arbitrate the
grievances. Should the arbitration com-

engineers' grievances.
Chicago, March 15.—The statement is
published here this morning that the Chica
go, Burlington and Quincy railroad en-
gineers have a grievance which may result
in a general strike along the line. What
the men chiefly want is a revision of the
schedule of wages. The claim is not so
much for an advance of wages as for a bet-
ter classification of them. The men who
make overtime want a more definite state-
ment as to the rate of pay. The men don't
expect to be compelled to strike, believing
that their demands are reasonable and will
be readily granted.

Litti.e Kock, March 15.—To-day a bill
was filed by the attorneys of the St. Louis
and Iron Mountain railroad against J. L.
Debay and others, representing the Knights
of Labor, alleging the seizure and mutila-
tion of property and the obstruction of the
business of the railroad company, and ask-
ing for an order restraining the parties
from interference with the property and
business of the company. Chancellor Car-
roll granted a temporary restraining order.

Detroit, March 15.—Contrary to expecta-
tion the striking ship-carpenters did not re-
sume work this morning. The cause was in
the clause of the agreement forbidding
Knights of Labor from working along the
docks except in the employ of the company.
This afternoon the men considered the mat-
ter again, and it was satisfactory. The
Trenton ship-carpenters struck to-day for
the same wages paid in Detroit.
colliers join tiie strike.
Pittsburgh, Pa., March 15.—Several hun-
dred striking miners of the Irwin district
assembled at Irwin, Pa., at 1 o'clock this
morning, and, headed by a brass band,
inarched to Manoa Valley mines, and they
persuaded the working colliers to join the
strike. They made no resistance and no-
thing serious occurred. All the mines are
now idle and everything is quiet.

Topeka, Kans., March 15.—Up to a late
hour this evening nothing had been heard
from Adjutant-general Campbell, at Par-
sons, protecting the Missouri-Pacific rail-
road from any violence by the strikers.
The governor's instructions to him were
that m no case was the militia to be called

Kansas City, March 15.—Matters are
quiet in the strike. It is said the company's
officials would attempt to send out trains
under police protection, but they can not
get possession of their engines, which are
under guard by the strikers, across the
line, in Kansas, at the rogml-house. iSo
move has been made to-day.
THE LOSS OF THE OREGON.
Story of the Disaster Told by Her Captain.
New York, March 15.—Captain Cottier,
of the Oregon, gives the following account
of the disaster: " The Oregon left Liverpool
at 10 o'clock Saturday morning of last
week. We had fine weather all the way
across and the weather was clear at 4.80
o'clock Sunday morning with a fresh breeze
from the west, when a sailing vessel sud-
denly loomed up. When first noticed she
showed no light, but when sue was too close
to clear she showed a white light. I can
not say on what part of her.
The Oregon was running under a full
head of steam. The vessel struck
us amidship and stove a big hole in the
port side. All the water-tight compart-
ments were closed at the time. The Oregon
went down about 12.45. She floated for
about eight hours after she was struck and
now lies in about twenty-two fathoms of
water, the tops of her three masts visible
ftbove the water and the vessel upright.
She went down head first. We worked
from the moment of the collision as if we
expected her to sink. We took extreme
precautions. The pumps were of no use, I
might say. We worked them of course,
and to their fullest capacity, but they had
no chance against the mass of water which
eventually carried her down. The
usual watch was on deck at the time
of the accident and no time was lost
in awakening the passengers. A few of
them heard or felt the shock, as all were in
bed at the time. Soon after the accident
occurred, a steamer passed up—a national
boat, I think—but went on. The vessel that
ran into us must have sunk immediately, as
when we looked, she was not in sight. She
must have gone down with all on board.
When I found that the vessel was sinking,
I took the necessary steps to save the pas-
sengers. We first sent up rockets as signals
of distress, then the boats were lowered, but
before S o'clock pilot boat No. 11 hove in
sight. She came up to us between 7 and 8
o'clock, and two hours later the schooner
Fannie A. Gorham, of Belfast, liove to.
The passengers and crew of the
Oregon were transferred to the pilot
boat and the schooner in our owu boats
400 were placed on board the pilot boat,
and the balance, about 500, on board the
schooner. All the passengers were trans-
ferred by 11 o'clock. The steamship Fulda,
of the North German line, hove in sight
about noon, or a little before, and was
within half a mile of the Oregon when the
latter snnk. There were no scenes on
board the Oregon. I never expected to see
such an affair go off so easily."
The cargo of the vessel consisted of 185
tons of general merchandise, valued at
$250,000. The vessel was valued at $1,250,-
(iOO. Both the cargo and vessel were in-
sured aboad.
All Thought To Be Lost.
New York, March 15.—One of the sailors
of the steamship Oregon this morning said
that immediately after the collision the
hulk of a sailing vessel was seen drifting
slowly on the port side of the steamer,
grazing her sides as she passed astern. It
was thought that she sank as soon as she
cleared the Oregon, and as none of the
crew are on the Fulda, he presumed they
were all drowned. _
A Bad Marksman.
Special to The News.
Shreveport, March 15.—About fi o'clock
this evening Texas street, in the neighbor-
hood of the Two Brothers saloon, was
thrown into excitement by a quick pistol
shot. Investigation showed that Dave Cal-
lahan, a paper-hanger and picture-frame
dealer, had shot at F. M. Norris, a painter
and paper-hanger. The ball missed its
mark and Norris quickly jumped upon
Callahan and gave him a severe pummel-
ing. The fracas resulted from a suit being
prosecuted in the District Court by Norris
against Callahan for a balance due him on
wages. Callahan was jailed on charges
made by District Attorney Crane, who was
near the scene.

CRAIN SPEAKS FOB GALVESTON HARBOR
The Diffusive Process of Making Sugar-
Treatment of Pleuro-Pneumonia—
Other Capital Notes.
Special to The News.
Washington, March 15.—The river and
harbor committee of the House to-day
heard argument in favor of Galveston har-
bor. Mr. Crain presented in a very strong
manner the claims of that port upon the
government for a sufficient appropriation
to improve its harbor. He discussed at
length and with favorable effect the com-
merce of Galveston, and also that of Hous-
ton, which depends upon Galyestou harbor
for an outlet; the number of railroads ter-
minating in Galveston and Houston; the
immense mercantile business transacted in
the city; its taxable values; the statistics of
exports and imports; the amount of cotton
shipments, and the various other important
interests depending upon that port. He is
quite earnest, and thoroughly prepared in
presenting his remarks, and sustained him-
self with figures illustrative of his argu-
ment. It was plain that the committee was
favorably impressed, and but for the ex-
treme ideas of economy prevailing, Galves-
ton would fare well at its hands.
Mr. Bayers was also present and advo-
cated a liberal appropriation for that hnr
■, and Mr. Miller was on hand, but failed

of interest to sugar-growers.
A number of gentlomen now here, pro-
minent among whom is ex-Governor War-
motli, of Louisiana, are urging] the agri-
cultural committee of the House to put iuto
its general appropriation bill an item of
$100,000 for experiments in what is known
as the diffusive process of nwukiug sugar.
It is claimed that while the present methods
of sugar-making really result in more than
50 per cent, of sugar from sirup, this pro-
cess will insure over 90 per cent. It is pro-
posed to spend $80,000 in Louisiana iu ex-
periments on cane and $50,000 in Kansas in
experiments on sorghum.
about pleuko-pneumonia.
The agricultural committee agreed to-day
to put in its bill $250,(KM) for the treatment
of pleuro-pneumonia. This item will un-
doubtedly be sharply antagonized, but sen-
ators and representatives from the cattle
regions are enthusiastic for it and say it
will surely be allowed.

the telephone investigation.
Jn the telephone investigation to-day, J.
Harris Hogers was recalled. He said the
gentlemen connected with the Pan-electric
company were to give their names as guar-
antee to outside parties that the company
would be fairly and honorably conducted.
The enterprise was based upon the future
possibilities, and required the guarantee
of men of national reputation. He gave
$10,000 stock to ltichard Wintersmitli, of
Kentucky.
Mr. Ranney—Yes, I have seen his letter.
He seemed to bo very grateful. It seems to
have made him very happy. Did he give
anything for it?
Witness replied iii the negative. Witness
sp.id that at a meeting at which Senator
Harris, General Johnston, Mr. Young and
witness, and possibly Colonel Toney, were
present. Mr.Y oung stated that a number of
members of Congress wanted to become
members of the Pan-electric company, and
had frequently importuned him on the sub-
ject. Mr. Young asked advice as to what
should be done. He suggested that proba-
bly the members of the company had
enough of that class of gentlemen asso-
ciated with them. The question was then
discussed as to how muchiaembers of Con-
gress would give. Twenty dollars was pro-
posed, but Mr. Young suggested that that
was too much. He said that most of them
wanted to get in on the ground floor, or as
near the ground as possible. Mr. Young
counted on his fingers four or five members.
The matter was left with Mr. Young, to do
the best lie could. The name of Mr. Dunn,
of Arkansas, was mentioned. Witness did
not remember the others.
Witness then went on to state that an ef-
fort had been made in 1883 or the beginning
of 1884, to have him appointed electrician
of the House of Representatives, and Sen-
ators Harris and Garland had gone to see
Architect Clark. Witness believed the
position would collaterally benefit the Pan-
electric company. By that he meant to be
in a position to take advantage of the dyna-
mos and other machinery to carry on ex-
periments which would benefit his asso-
ciates and the government. General John-
ston went to see the speaker in his behalf.
Witness got a member by the name of
Robinson, of New York, to offer a resolu-
tion on the subject. Robinson held a cer-
tain amount of American postal telegraph
stock. Witness said further that he was" a
candidate for some office under the adminis-
tration in which he could carry out his pro-
fession, such as assistant attorney in soma
of the departments or a position abroad at
Marseilles or Milan.
Witness was then questioned by Oates as
to the date of the interview in which Young
stated Attorney-general Garland hail
promised to bring suit. Witness fixed the
date some time early in July. The second
interview with Young was in the latter part
of July. Witness reiterated his statement
as to Young's language on the occasion of
the first interview. A t the second interview
the whole ground was not gone over. They
talked about it as a matter well known be-
tween them. Young said that it was better
not to say anything about it. Witness sup-
posed that he didn't want the Bell people to
hear about it. It was during the first inter-
view that Young said that as Garland was
attorney for the Pan-electric company, he
felt a delicacy about bringing suit, and that
it would be brought by Goode. Witness was
deeply impressed by this. He remembered
the conversation nearly word by word. The
question of new legislation by Congress
was never broached by any of his asso-
ciates.
Chairman—Did you assign your associates
an interest because of the official positions
they held, or because of their standing as
lawyers and because you expected to be
benefited by their services?
Witness- There were three reasons. One
reason was that they held official positions,
and from that fact they were widely known.
The second reason was because tliey were
lawyers, and the third reason—last, but not
least—was because we had known most of
them for many yoars, and were satisfied
that they would conduct everything on an
honorable basis. We wanted none but such
men assoc iated with us.
At this moment the committee went into
secret session, with the understanding that
the examination of witnesses would be re-
newed on Wednesday.

Representative Phelps, of New Jersey,
will, under call of States, to-morrow pre-
sent a memorial from the New Jersey state

cluded from Uermany; Austria and other
countries. The resolution is as follows:

ture of New Jersey hereby request our re-
presentatives in Congress tomakeadili-
fent investigation into this matter and en-
eavor to secure such changes as may be
necessary to relieve this important industry
from the restrictions now imposed upon it
by other countries.
In connection with this memorial, Mr.
Phelps will offer the following resolution:
Resolved, that the secretary of state bo

incompatible witlrthe pubHo interest,copies
of all correspondence between his depart-
ment and the representatives of Germany,
France, Austria and any other European
country which has partially or entirely re-
stricted the importation of American pork,

senate.
Washington, March 15.—The Senate this
morning agreed to the resolution to ap-
point Rev. J. G. Butler, D. D., of Washing-
ton, chaplain of the Senate.
Among the petitions presented and re-
ferred to committees were a number from
the local assemblies of Knights of Labor
throughout the country favoring the build-
ing of the Hennepin canal. Also a memo-
rial from the Kniglits of Labor protesting
against a denial of extra pay which had
been provided for by law for workinguaeu
in the government service who worked
more than eight hours per day.
Mr. Ingalls submitted a joint resolution
proposing a constitutional amendment pro-
viding that the 30th of April shall be the
day for the beginning of successive admin-
istrations of the government hereafter in-
stead of the 1th of March. Referred to the
committee on judiciary.
Mr. Hoar called for his count bill, but
yielded to Mr. Van Wyck in order that that
senator might call up his house bill increas-
ing the pensions of widows and dependent
relatives of deceased soldiers.
On motion Mr. Van Wyck the bill was
taken up. The bill as it came from the
House increased the pensions of widows
and dependent relatives from $S to $12 per
month. The senate committee amended
the bill so as to increase the pension? pf
minor children from $2 to $1 per month. ,
Mr. Van Wyck said the Senate had 'al-
ready been charged wrongfully, he thought,
with negloct of duty in not more speedily
passing the increased classes of- pensions
provided for by this bill. The bill, ho said,
ought to be passed at once. He had an
amendment which would propose to extend
the time of pensions for insane or idiotic
minor children so as to cover the entire
period of such insanity or idiocy.
Mr. Sewall said the House bill was a sim-
ple jiroposition to raise the pensions of
widows and dependent relatives from $8 to
$12 a month. The senate committee had
thought it germain to the bill to increase
the pensions for minor children from $2 to
$4 a month, and to provide that the time for
the continuance of a child's pension should
be extended from 10 years of age to 18.
A message from the House notified the
Senate of the death of Representative Halm,
of Louisiana, and on motion of Mr. Eustis,

Immediately after the reading of the jour;

EXPLOSION AND FLAMES.
Linseed Oil Mills Completely Demolished at
Toledo.
Toledo, O., March 15.—At 1.45 this morn-
ing people were aroused by a tremendous
explosion, wakening everybody in the city,
acoompanied by a shook like that of an
earthquake. Tlio people rushed into the
streets to find the cause, and were directed
by the light of an enormous conflagration
to the linseed oil mills of Varney, Taylor &
Co., on middle grounds, along the river,
above the Union depot, which were on lire.
The report was that of the explosion of the
boilers of the burning establishment. The
oil mills, machinery and contents are a
total loss. They consisted of an elevator
used for the storage of flax seed, a large
building containing machinery for grinding
and pressing oil, and a large two-story
brick building used for a refinery. The fire
was discovered in the latter, and au alarm
turned in, but before the firemen reached
the scene a large iron tank of naptha used
in refining oil exploded with a tremendous
report, entirely demolishing the building,
throwing the burning oil in all directions,
and firing other buildings. Windows of
residences in the vicinity were smashed for
two squares awav and those inside of the
Oliver house, a three-story brick hotel, over
a square away, were utterly demolished on
side next to the explosion. Some fifty feet
away from the buining building was a two-
story frame structure used as an office by
the yardmaster of the Dayton and Michigan
road. This was partly wrecked by the'ex-
Jilosion and fired, being entirely consumed,
fust across the tracks from the explosion
was a long frame car-shed, which was
knocked into kindling wood. One hundred
yards south is another railroad office, near
the round-house, the windows of which
weie blown in. A number of persons iu
the vicinity of the fire were knocked down
by the concession, but no serious accidents
are reported.
The loss of the linseed oil works is $140,-
000: total insurance, $80,000. The company
will rebuild at once.

ACROSS THE BROAD ATLANTIC
A NEWSY BUDGET OF FOREIGN ITEMS.
England and Germany Strengthening their
Navies-Severe Earthquake in Spain
— English Politics.
London, March 15.—There is something
very significant in the simultaneous de-
cision of the German and English govern-
ments to vastly increase their naval arma-
ment this year, although both have already
immenso budgets. The German proposal
is to build no less than twelve fast steel-
armored cruisers with all the modern and
costly improvements in ordnance, and a
still larger number of torpedo boats. The
building, equipping and manning of these
vessels will ultimately cost more than
200,000,000 marks, ana a considerable
portion of this expenditure will
be the initiatory outlay, and will have to be
provided for in the estimates for this year.
No wonder that the treasury officials are
described as anxiously seeking to discover
new sources of revenue. Bismarck's spirit
monopoly bill was devised with a view of
meeting this strain.
in england the situation
is about the same. Here the proposal is
to push rapidly the costly ironclads order-
ed by the Salisbury government at the time
of tlie Afghan scare, and to increase the
personnel of the navy by the enlistment of
25,000 seamen and marines. This proposal
originated with Lord ltoseberry. The
foreign secretary is supported by the Mar-
quis of Ripon, first lord of the admiralty,
and lias been consented to by Mr. Gladstone.
Here, too, there is great anxiety as to the
passage of the budget.
mr. gladstone is confronted
with a hugh deficit, which he left last
spring. There are various unusual de-
mands upon the exchequer this year, in-
cluding payment for riot damages and
agrarian schemes, such as laborers' atone-
ment and the appropriations of Irish lands.
All the latter schemes will require initial
aid from the treasury, and some that have
been proposed contemplate vast and imme-
diate outlays.
there is no truth
in the report that an alliance is being
formed by Austria, Italy and France. It is
quite probable that Austria is seeking new
connections in view of the impending disso-
lution of tlie Russo-Austro-German alli-
ance by her voluntary elimination, but the
house of Hapsburg will never seek a part-
nership with the house of Savoy, nor with
any republic. As far as Italy is concerned,
the king is known to be deeply committed
to the Braganza intrigue for deposing the
Austrian Queen Regent of Spain to be per-
sona grata to her cousin. Emperor Francis
Joseph. In regard to France, the vast popu-
lation of Austria would deem it almost an
act of treachery to seek alliance with the
foe, and there are besides many irritating
questions between Austria and France,
such as customs duties and various other
regulations, which seem destined never to
be adjusted.
the observer says
tlie cabinet council received Mr. Gladstone's
home rule measure with disfavor, and adds
that the project, if persisted in, will lead to
the disruption of the cabinet. A telegram
from Madrid says
a violent shock of earthquake
was experienced iu the city of Granada.
Buildings, were shaken all over the city;
plaster and masonry were cracked, steeples
were so vibrated that several bells rang
without being touched. Thousands of win-
dows were broken, and many houses in pro-
cess of erection or repair were demolished.
People, warned by their fearful experlnce
of two years ago, instantly fled
from their dwellings, shops and ware-
houses into the streets and public
squares, where they remained for hours,
praying and waiting to see if the shock was
to be repeated. Many persons were injured
by flying fragments from wrecked build-
ings, but thus far no fatal casualties have
been reported. The shock was also felt, but
v ith a smaller degree of force, in various
other portions of Andalusia. The seismic
movement seemed to be from west to east,
and lasted several seconds.
mr. a. j. mundella,
president of the board of trade, wa? waited
on to-day by a deputation of authors and

what the government mtonded to do to-
ward the establishment of international
copyright. Mr. Mandella, in reply, said the
board of trade and the foroigu office were
now engaged on the subject and the
codification of a copyright law.
He belived such a law desirable, but
expressed the opinion that the government
would not have time to deal with the
question during the present session. In the

Mundella's motion asking the, detach-
ment of
the silver question
from the other matters under consideration

bility of transplanting to the colonies the

IRELAND.
gladstone's scheme for government.
London, March 15.—The Standard says:
" It is supposed Mr. Gladstone's scheme
for the government of Ireland proposes the
establishment of a single chamber of par-
liament at Dublin, and embodies the prin-
ciple of minority representation. Ireland
will continue to send members to West-
minster, not in proportion to her contribu-
tion to the imperial revenue. Under this
scheme there would probably be thirty
Irish members of Parliament. The police
are to be disarmed and will be under con-
trol of the government at Dublin."

GREENVILLE.
A Church Destroyed by an Incendiary Fire—A
Broken Saloonist.
Special to The News.
Greenville, March 15.—Last night an
incendiary set fire to and destroyed the
Rays Creek church, situated about ten
miles northeast of here. It belonged to the
neighborhood and was used by the different
religious denominations. It had also been
used as a public school building, but re
cently the community was divided aud
from some cause there was such
dissatisfaction that threats were made that
if the school was continued in the church it
w ould soon be in ashes. The threat was
disregarded with, what is supposed to be,
the result stated. There was no insurance.
Owing to the sickness of J udge Sherrell,
the County Court has adjourned until
Thursday.
The effect of Pearson's recent revival
meeting is still preserved. There were four
accessions to the churches yesterday.
I The liabilities of J. N. Cook, the saloonist
attached Saturday night amount to about
$4000; his assets, $2400 stock, without his
store accounts. As his license does not ex-
pire until next December, and most of the
stock is new, it is thought the stock will be
bought in or some arrangement made by
which Cook can resume business. He thinks
he can pay if given an opportunity.

Atlanta papers are giving the public some
curious and wonderful cases that are quite In-
teresting. It seems a young lady of Atlanta
had been reported as dead, but It came to tlie
ears of the Atlanta Journal that sho was still
alive, and being on tlie alert for news, a {re-
porter was sent to the lady's residence to learn
all the facts. Miss Belle Dunaway, who had
been pronounced dead, met him at tlie door,
stoutly denying that sho was dead. She
said:
" For four years, rheumatism and neuralgia
have resisted physicians and all other treat-
ment. My muscles seemed to dry up, my flesh
shrank away, my joints were swollen, painful
and laige, lost my appetite, was reduced to GO
pounds iu weight, and for months, was expect-
ed to die. I commenced the use of B. B. B.,
and tlie action of one half bottle convinced
my friends that it would cure me. Its effect
was like magic. It gave me an appetite—gave
me strength, relieved all pains and aches,
added flesh to my bones, and when five bottles
had been used 1 had gained 50 pounds of flesh,
and I am to day sound and well."

Guinn's Pioneer Blood Renewer Cures
When the Doctors and Hot
Springs Fail.
Macon Medicine Co.—Yon ask if I have ever
seen any symptoms of the case of Syphilis you
cured on me over a year ago. I will state that
I am as sound as a silver dollar. When I com-
menced taking Gt:inn's Blood Renewkk you-
know my condition. I had the case over three-
years and was on my way to Ilot Springs, Ark.,
when a friend of mine, who had been in the
; same fix, told me to go to Griffin, and If Guinn's
1 Pioneer Blood kenkwer did not cure me he
would pay my expenses while there. I went;
before the doctors of your city, by your re-
quest, wliicb was seven days after I com-
menced taking the medicine, and they will cer-
tify thatl had no sores on me, every one hav-
ing healed in the short time stated. I can send
you some certificates of other parties in my
neighborhood, who was in as bad a condition
as myself, and who are O. K. at this time. May
you live 1000 years and continue to cure those-
afilicted and who were in my condition.
