The National Cordage Company's Success-
lul Itival.
New York, May 13.—The John Good com-
pany will begin on Mondoy to extend its cord-
age plant to such an extent that it will be fully
capable as far as room is concerned of ful-
filling Mr. Good's offer to take the National
cordago company into his fold. Tho extend-
ing of the facilities of this company, an-
nounced so soon after the groat slump in
cordage and tho National cordage company's
receivership, is causing no end of discussion
and speculation. The rumors of a consolida-
tion of the weak with the stronger interest,
! which were so abundant on the street re-
[ cently, have become rife aijain and more pro-
nounced than ever. The John Good company
: and tho National cordatfo company have been
; strong rivals in every line of the cordage busi-
ness except tho manufacture of binder twino.
The determination of the John Good company
to enter into the manufacture of this article
seems to give the rumors much appearance of
truth.
A reporter called at the officeB of the John
Good company and inquired whether the in-
tended consolidation with the National cord-
age company was because of the manufacture
of binder twine. Mr. John G. Jenkins, jr.,
the business manager, smiled at the question
and said: "No, the prospect of or the desire
for consolidation could not have been the
cause of this move of our company. Tho
crash in the National cordage company did
not happen until a week ago and we had tho
plans drawn for this more than two months
ago. All wo have been waiting for is good
weather and a good condition of the ground.
As to going into the making of binder twine
so as to be able to carry on all of the cordage
company's business in case of a conaolidation,
we were actuated by no such motive. The
National cordage company must have made
on binder twine last year, as we figure it hero,
at loaBt $3,000,000. The John Good company
thmkB it can push up its profits considerably
by going into this line, which seems to be very
remunerative."
"Mr. Jenkins," asked the reporter, "have
you heard anything about a consolidation of
your company and tho National cordage com-
pany?"
"I havo hoard nothing of such a move, al-
though it may be going on quietly. Still I
think I would be likely to hear of anything of
the kind."
"Do you think the National cordage can get
on its feet by itself?"
"Well, really I can not see how the com-
pany can possibly bo in such a bad condition
as has been statod. I hope it will get up
again. Wo are rivals in business, but I have
quite a number of good friends in tho
National cordago company, and I think they
aro too able men to be pushed down so easily.
If there is any truth in the rumor of consoli-
dation 1 don't see how anything can be done
about It until tho receivors havo made their
report on the condition of the National cord-
age company."
Scotch-Irish Congress.
SmiNGTiELD, 0., May 13.—There was not a
large attendance at the public session of the
Scotch-Irish congress this morning, on ac-
count of the threatening weather. Dr. Samuel
Liste of Toronto, Canada, presented greetings
from Canada and a paper by Dr. McCloskoy
followed. The session closed with speeches
by Hon. John A. McMahon and Judge Gil-
more. ^
Humored Arrests.
Cairo, 111.. May 13.—Two men, supposed to
be those who robbed tho Mobile and Ohio ex-
press car on the night of the 11th, were ar-
rested at Hickles, Ky., and taken to Laketon
last night. It is said they were tracked from
the scene of tho robbery to their hiding place
by Bcraps of paper torn from express pack-
ages. Tho names or anything more definite
can not be learned now.

"Complete File." Order Revoked,
Washington, May 13.—The following im-
portant order, revoking the celebrated "com-
pleted files" order of ex-Commissioner Rautn,
has been issued by Commissioner Lochren:
"So much of order 149. dated December 23,
1889, as portains to tho establishment of the
'completed file system,' and also order 151,
dated January 6,1890, and order 165, dated
July 1,1890, bearing on tho same subject, is
hereby revoked. Hereafter all pending
claims in each class will be taken up for con-
sideration in the order in which unconsidered
evidence is tiled, the object aimed at being a
practical return to tho method in vogue prior
to 1889.
"Whenever any evideuce shall be received
in any case, such evidence shall be btrappod
to the caso and a file card be at once placed at
the top of the file box of the examiner in
whose charge the case may bo.
"Whonover any examiner shall have dis-
posed of all the cases on his desk additional
cases represented by file cards at the bottom
of such examiner's file box shall bo placed on
his desk for consideration and action, and the
proper calls for evidence shall be made, or
pending inquiries answered for the case if
found to be complete Bhall at once be sub-
mitted to the board of review for final adjudi-
cation."
The Financial Programme.
Washington, May 13.—The Star has this:
Democratic leaders in congress and the ad-
ministration are trying to come to an under-
standing as to the policy for the next congress
by which they can avoid the danger of a split
on the money question and secure united ac-
tion on sevoral important questions which will
present themselves. It iB believed by those
most active in the matter that an agreement
will bo reached on tho much dreaded money
question. In fact the programme of congress
has been laid out with considerable
detail, and great hopes are entertained
that tho administration and congress will
dwell together in harmony. It is tho
present understanding that the compromise
proposition to disposo of URe silver question
by accompanying tho repeal of the Sherman
law with a repeal of tho 10 per cont tax on
Btate bank currency will receive tho sanction
of the administration, and that tho men in
congress fighting against any contraction of
currency will be satisfied to let go of silver if
they can get state currency. It is designed
also to levy an income tax and it is believed
that Cleveland will favor this. Brietly, there
are four things which it is the desire of the
party leaders in the coming congress to dis-
pose of as speedily as possible, und it iB be-
lieved that Cleveland will dwell upon them all
in his first message. They are: The repeal
of the federal election laws, tho levy of in-
come tax, the ropeal of the Sherman law and
of the tax on state bank currency and the com-
pleto revision of the tariff, making a vory de-
cided reduction in duties all along the line.
lamont'i New Order,
Washington, May 13.—Lieutenant Lemley,
who is on an extended ieave of absence and
who has inado a contract with tho Colombian
government for a period of flvo years, and
aside from that has just arrived in Washing-
ton on his way from Colombia to Chicago to
act as director general of that country's ex-
hibit, has been orderod by Secretary Lamont
to return to his regiment. It is said that tho
secretary did not fully understand the partic-
ulars under which the leave was granted and
may out of compliment to Colombia revoke
his action. He is, howover, determined to
weed out this leave and detached service list.
It is even said that he contemplates the revo-
cation of the threo years' leave of Captain
George B. Davis, who is now filling acontract

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Washington, May 13.—[Special.]— Secre- ;
fcary Carlisle has made the ruling with regard ,
to tenure of republican incumbents which
President Cleveland is being urged to adopt;
that is, that four years' republican possession
of an office fills out the term, no matter how
many different persons hold the place. This
ruling was brought out by the case of Inter-
nal Revenue Collector Millor of Pittsburg.
He was appointed by President Harrison
about one year ago to succeed Warmcastle, a
republican who was removed and who had
served three years. Congressman Dalzell
called upon Secretary Carlisle to-day and in-
sisted that Miller was entitled to four years,
regardless of his predecessor. The secretary
held that the question of personality did not
enter into consideration; that the republicans
had had the office for a term of four years and
that fully complied with the principles of the
administration. Ho informed Mr. Dalzell
that a successor to Collector Miller would be
appointed as soon as convenient.
Must Perform Duty.
Washington, May 13.—[Special.]—A mat-
ter of the greatest momont to certain army
ofilcere has arisen. Secretary Lamont has
concluded to make the army officers sure
enough officers of the army. When he as-
sumed control of tho war department he
found a great many leaves of absence granted
to such officers. An investigation on his part
showed that these absences granted were for
the purpose of giving such officers opportunity
to engage in other business. One or two of
them lectured, while others engaged in Drivate
business or hired their abilities to private con-
cerns. Notwithstanding this they continued
to draw their regular salaries. Mr. Lamont
has announced that hereafter they will not be
permitted to engage in private business or
hire their services to other people, but must
remain with the army and engage in no busi-
ness outside of it. No leaves of absence will
be granted officers to engage in business, and
all leaves of absence for that purpose hereto-
fore granted will be revoked. If the officers
don't like it they can resign lrom the army.
with the Nicaragua canal company under a
special act of congress, which authorized the
granting of the leave without pay.

Huston (iets It.
Washington, May 13.—[Special.]—Among
the appointments to-day .van that of Theodore
A. Huston as consul at Paso del Norte. This
was a place earnestly desirod by sevoral Tcx-
aas, but the president does not soem to think
that Texans are the best people for Moxican
positions. Mr. Huston is a citizen of Illinois
and of tho town of McComb. Ho is a man of
about 35 and an active democrat, being chair-
man of the democratic committee of his dis-
trict. He was backed by Congressman Cable,
who represents Huston's district. Huston is a
raiser of fine cattle and wealthy. He has spent
much time in Mexico and is well acquainted
in Texas. The place pays between $5000 and
$6000 a year.

pointed for Texas to-day.

The Report Uelleved,
Washington, May 13.—Socretary Gresham
said to-day that ho had not received any ii>
formation from Nicaragua. It is believod at
the Btate department that thenows wired from
San Juan del Sur by Consul Newall, telling
of tho practical overthrow of tho government,
is correct, notwithstanding the information
which Guzman, the Nicarn^uan minister, has
received, to the effect that thero has boeu no
lighting and that the government troops are
well equipped and in large numbers,
Left for Home.
Washington, May 13.—A prominent demo-

Washington before the end jf August.
Speer Appointed.
Washington, May 13.—Secretary Carlisle
to-day appointed Eugene P. Speer of Georgia
chief of the division of the arat comptroller's
office, treasury department.

plosion of a looomotive on tho Lebanon
Valley branch of the Phil adelphia and Read-
ing road at Lebanon to-day.
Tho killed are Levy Yooum, engineer, of

nephew of the engineer, who had got on tne
engine to seo his uncie.
The injured are: George Sallada, a con-
ductor of Reading, probably fatally; William

tho engine, was also instantly killed. His
body was carriod over 200 feet through the
air, alighting on the roof of a neighboring
building, disemboweled and horribly mangled.
One of his legs has not yet been found.
Donnelly Got What He Wanted.
St. Paul, Minn., May 13.—Tho war be-
tween the two factions of the Minnesota Farm-
ers' alliance reached a climax last evening
when l)r. Everett W. Fish, editor of the Great
West, brought suit against Ignatius Donnelly
for $25,000 for defamation of character, and
against George L. Sloughton, editor of the
Representative, for criminal libel. In the
issue of the Representative published yestor-
day Senator Donnelly said over his own signa-
ture; "I plainly, distinctly and unequivocally
chnrge Everett W. Fish, while editor of the
newspaper called tho Great West, with having
at different times, and especially during the
campaigns of 1888 and 1892, while pretending
to support tho reform ticket, taken large sums
of money, amounting to many thousands of
dollars, from officers of the republican stato
central committee. I make this charge de-
liberately, and invito Everett W. Fish to be-
gin proceedings against me for libel.'1
Mrs. Davis' Summer Arrangements.
New Yohk, May 11.—A special to tho Tri-
bune from West Point says i "Mrs. Jefferson
Davis, widow of the ex-president of tho con-
federacy, will spond part of the summer at
Cranston's. Mr. Cranston received a letter
from Mrs. Davis, requesting that a suito of
rooms be ready for herself and daughter by
June 15. Mrs, Davis had previously arranged
to spent the summer at Narragansett Pier,
but, upon the advice of her physician, who re-
commanded the mountain air of the highlands
of the Hudson, she changed her plans. By a
curious coincidence, tho widow of General
Grant has also engagod rooms for tho summer
at Cranston's."

WORLD'S FAIR GROUNDS.
THE ATTENDANCE MUCJH LAKGEE
THAN AT PHILADELPHIA.
New and Attractive Features to Be Added.
The First Grand Illumination-Some
of the Day's Incidents.
Texas Press Bureau, World's Fair
Grounds, Chicago, 111., May 11.—The follow-
ing Texans are in Chicago visiting the world's
fair:
Colonel F. B. Clark, secretary of the cham-
ber of commerce of Fort Worth; B. F. John-
son, a prominent cattleman of Alvarado and
Mix Will Ross, a cattle shipper from Mexia.
Mr. F. B. Brown of El Paso is stopping at
the Palmer house.
Dr. B. E. Witio, a prominent Washington
county physician, Sim R. Carothers, a news-
paper man of Houston, Mrs. F. Riber, for-
merly of Brenham, and Mr. Horace D. Taylor
and bride of Houston aro quartered at the Do
Soto on Wabash avenue.
Mr. F. M. Knight of Greenville has ar-
rived at the Texas stato building with the edu-
cational exhibit from the Greenville public
schools, which will attract much attention, it
being made to represent the Pantheon at
Rome.
Mr. J. J. Gannon, until recently president
of the Fort Worth brewery, is in the city,
stopping at the Grand Pacific.
Mr. Phillip Ross of Mexia is here studying
the fair and stopping with Mr. C. S. Hardy on
Thirty-sixth street.
Captain S. J. T. Johnson, superintendent
of the Texas stato building, left for a few days'
stay at his home in Corsicana on yesterday.
The Texas press association will arrivo Sun-
day in a body.
A good deal of interest is taken in the num-
ber of visitors who have paid admission daily
since it started as compared with the attend-
ance during the similar period at the centen-
nial at Philadelphia. The daily attondauce
authoritatively furnished by the bureau of
admissions shows already that it is much
larger than the centennial at the commence-
ment season. The attendance at the Colum-
bian exposition to date is shown in the follow-
ing table:
May 1 129,200
May 2 14,2*2
May 3 118,459
May 4 20,400
May 5 11,9*4
May 0 17,149
May 8 21,701
May 9 17,133
May 10 18,198
May 11 2:>,-0l
May 12 , 30.13J
The attendance at the centennial was as fol-
lows:
May 10 (openingday) 76,172
May 11 14,722
May 12 10,252
May 13 11,658
May 15 10,890
Mavlfi 7,050
May 17 12,117
May 18 11,054
May 19 10,100
May 20 12,402
May 22 20,871
By this it is seon that the total attendance
at the Columbian exposition during the tirst
oleven days was nearly 219,000 greater than
tho centennial during tho corresponding pe-
riod.
A new attraction will soon be completed at
the fair. It is tho reproduction of two histori-
cal streets in Vienna as they appeared 200
years aero undor the reign of Emperor
Charles VI.
A building will be filled with historic relics
and works of art from Austria.
The national commissioners had a lively
session to-day. The chief topic of discussion
was the action of the iocal directors regarding
the opening of the fair Sundays. The ques-
tion came up when Secretary Edmunds of the
local directory came in with a message from
President Higginbotham containing a report
of the action on the Sunday question taken
by the directors at the meeting last night.
Commissioner Burton of Kansas moved to
refer the report to the committee on judiciary.
A long wrangle followed.
Commissioner St. Clair held that the only
way the gates could bo lawfully opened was
for the national commissioners and local
directors each to pass a joint resolution re-
pealing the rule forbidding the opening of the
fair on Sundays. A fter a dozen or more com-
missioners expressed their views the matter
was referred to the committee on judiciary.
The "White city" was transformed to-night
into a city of rainbow tints. Plans for tho
tirst compieto illumination were perfected this
morning and tho spectacle far surpassed any-
thing of tho sort ever attempted. Nearly all
of the thousands of visitors who came out
during the day remained for the evening's dis-
play and many moro cauio out on the evening
trains so that tho attendance of the day was
almost doubled.
At 8 o'clock the plaza east of the adminis-
tration building and the promenades around
the great basin were black with people. At
that hour the Iowa stato band, at the west en-
trance to the manufacturers and liberal arts
building, began to play. At the same time
the b.ind from Cincinnati began to play over
by Music hall and another near the north en-
trance of the agricultural building.
As the bands began to play electric lights
flashed out as if by magic and the whole mado
ono feel as if in fairyland. Flashes of light
swept along tho eaves of tho grand buildings
that line the beautiful main basin. From an
arch of imposing peristylo and statues and
figures of animals electrical sparks
snot in tiny threads of colored
llamo. Tho magnificent fountain, with figures
carved as if in marble, throw faint ribbons of
Bpray through mist of rainbow tints, and
transformed the cascado into a restless stair-
way of amethyst and gold. Threads of light
shone through a film of purple and pearls and
silver, and drove away shadows that lay upon
the even surface of the lagoon. Two eloe-
trical fountains on either Bide of the great
central fountain sparklod with rubies, garnets,
agate and pearls.
The scheme of operations of the electrical
fountains is to cast rainbow hues over the
great central fountain, and as the colored
lights flashed out from them they formed a
prismatic background for colored search lights
that were turned upon the head of the basin and
administration building from the manufac-
tures electrical and agricultural buildings.
The gilt dome of the administration buildiug
was studded with electrical gems of rich tones
of color and the effect, viewed from the west
front of the peristyle, was as gorgeous as an
oriental dream.
The first legal stops in the world's fair Sun-
day closing question wero made this afternoon.
Charles W. Clingman, an attorney who repre-
sents that ho is a stockholder in the Columbian
exposition personally and by proxy to the ex-
tent of $100,000, filed a bill in tho auporior
court praying for an injunction restraining the
directors of the exposition and the South park
commissioners from closing the gates of tho

that tho park commissioners had no right to
use it for any other purpose or deprive tho
public of the enjoyment of the park. He also

right to intorfero in any matters covered by

plication for the injunction is expectod early

DR. HALL'S SON.
He Threatens to Withdraw if Dr. Briggs
Is Not Cleared.
New York, May 13.—A dispatch from Chi-
cago yesterday stated that Presbyterian circles
there were stirrod up over a report that the
Rev. Thomas C. Hall of that city, son of the
Rev. Dr. John Hall of this city, would with-
draw from tho Presbyterian church in case
the next general assembly should decide
against tho llov. Dr. Briggs. Dr. John Hall
was said to bo out of town when a reporter
called at his residence, A clerical looking
man who entered tho house just as tho re-
porter reached the door said Dr. Hall was in
Pittsburg. This gentleman, who refused to
give his name, said ho had seen the dispatch
ana knew it was true. Dr. Hail's son, he said,
had writen letters to his father, in which ho
had declared his intention of withdrawing
from the church in caso Dr. Briggs was not
acquitted. "Young Hall," said ho, "was
educated at the Union theological seminary
and was a pupil of Dr. Briggs. Ho has im
bibed his theological views from Dr. Briggs'
teaching, and ho is as much of an extremist
as the latter in matters concerning Biblical
theology." Dr. Hall's son has made no secret
of his views and of his intention to stick to
Dr. Briggs. Ho has written letters which
have been published in religious journals,
stating that ho would withdraw from tho
church should the general assembly decide
against Dr. Briggs. _
HE FIRED THE SUFFERER.
Simulated Grief Changed to Real Anger
and Indignation.
Denver, Col., May 13.—Duncan B. Harri-
son must appear in court to-day charged with
the crime of opening a telegram addressed to
Frank Montgomery, his stage manager. The
peualty is $1 to $1000 or a year's imprison-
ment, or both.
Montgomery came from New York to act
as stage manager for the great pugilistic
drama. During tho past two weeks Mont-
gomery, it is said, has daily told Harrison of
his wife's serious illness in Now York, which
might- require his immediate departure to the
metropolis. He arranged with Harnsou to get
the needed transportation, and yesterday
gravely told him that his wife was dying.
Last night another came, and fearing that
tho wife had died Harrison opened tho tele-
gram, so that he might break the news gently
to the suffering husband. The telegram, it is
alleged, read:
Meotmeatouce in Pittsburg; havo a pood en-
gagement for us both. Wo open Monday night.
Jenny.
Harrison slipped the message back into
the envelopo and delivered it to his stage
manager, who upon reading it exclaimed:
"My God I She is dying; I must get the
transportation!"
Harrison fired the sufferer on the spot, and
Montgomery had Harrison arrostod.

quell any internal disturbance and maintain
itsolf in authority. Tho minister of finauco
states that means for carrying on tho govern-
ment aro ample. Annexation sentiment is
quietly strengthening, but delay in tho settle-
ment of the question is having a tolling effect
on busiuess interests that desiro to expend or
invite capital.
