Trouble Among the Glass Makers.
Chicago, March 25,—A morning paper
says that trouble is brewing among the
glass manufacturers of the country and
unless speedy relief arises their number
will be considerably diminished. Soda
ash, or rather its absence, is the cause of
the trouble, and notwithstanding the de-mand
for glassware is as great as ever
known, many manufacturers will shortly
be compelled to shut down their mills.
The supply of soda ash is practically
shut off by the strike among the dock
laborers at Liverpool. More than 50
per cent, of the soda ash used in this
country is obtained from Liverpool and
as a large portion of the supply is used
for other purposes, the glass manufac-turers
find it hard to meet their orders,
and it is said that within two weeks half
of the glass factories in the country will
be closed.
A Systematic Robbery.
St. Paul, March 25.—The police have
made some important arrests and uncov-ered
a systematic and extensive robbery
of freight cars. Freight car seals on the
Great Northern have been tampered with
for some time and considerable property
stolen. Two thieves who were arrested
Saturday gave information which led to
the arrest of Mrs. Sweeney, her two sons
and Ed Maloney and Fred McConnell.
In the Sweeney cottage, and buried in a
neighboring lot, were found several
thousand dollars worth of goods belong-ing
to different firms in this city. The
boys had been in the habit of boarding
freight ears near Hamline, and while
paising near their home they would
throw out several boxes of goods. This
was always done at night and the plun-der
removed to a hiding place at once.
, ---------------
A Shame to Civilization.
New York, March 25.—The grand
jury came info the court of general ses-sions
today and banded a long present-ment
to Judge Fitzgerald in which the
sheriff’s office is characterized as a dis-grace
to the city and a shame to civiliza-tion.
The foreman of the grand jury, when
he handed the presentment to Judge
Fitzgerald, said that the grand jury in-quiry
had failed to reveal a single re-deeming
element in the management of
the office. It was a black record of vio-lated
law, tardy justice, corruption and
bribery. The sheriff’s office was a dis-grace
to the city and shame, on civiliza-tion
and it was no longer a question of
what ought to be done to remedy ex-isting
evils, but what must be done at
once and without delay. The foreman
asked that copies of the presentment be
sent to the governor and the state legis-lature.
Election in the Nation.
St. Louis, March 25.—Late advices
from the Cherokee Nation say political
parties are becoming active in the mat-ter
of nominating candidates for the
chieftaincy of the nation in the coming
election. The present chief, Mayes, who
represents the Downing or Democratic
party, has achieved a considerable repu-tation
in his party of late, and it is be-lieved
he will be nominated for re-elec-tion,
while ex-Chief Bushyhead, leader
of the National or Republican party is
being urged by his friends for the head
of their ticket. The strip question will
be an active factor in the campaign and
it is skid the contest over that and other
issues will be hot and bitter.
Cannot Pay Their Mortgages.
Albany, March 25.—The annual re-port
of the board of state assessors con-tains
this statement: “There continues
to be a marked depreciation in the value
of farm lands in nearly every county and
the depression among the farmers con-tinues,
while the prospect for improve-ment
is not good. Many assert that
after paying expenses they cannot realize
from their farms sufficient to pay the in-terest
on the mortgages and consequently
thousands of farms are falling into the
hands of mortgagees.”
Will Make a Test Case.
New York, March 25.—The Times
states it is semi-offieially declared that
big western railroads have obtained from
prominent New York lawyers opinions
declaring the interstate commerce law
unconstitutioned so far as it prohibits
pooling and attempts to regulate long
and short haul rat«s. Guided by these
opinions it is said one prominent rail-road
company will begin an aggressive
fight to nullify the law.
Railway Directors.
New York, March 25.—The bond-holders
of the Mexican National railway
yesterday nominated eight directors to
hg,.elected as their representatives at the
coding election. The six resident in the
United States are: W. G. Raoul, J. A.
Horsey, C. C. Beaman, Geo. Coppell,
Pc:' .“f, inwall and Epstein Norton,

Inyested Witli His Robes.
Philadelphia, March 25.—Nicholas

prelate of the Pope’s household to which
dignity he was recently raised by Pope
Leo XIII.

Horse Thieves Captured.
Laredo, March 25.—[Special.J—Some
days ago mention was made in these
despatches of the recovery at points in
Mississippi of numerous horses stolen
from ranchmen in the counties of Enci-nal,
Dimmitt, LaSalle and Webb by
Capt. McNeal a state ranger. The cap-tain
returned to Encinal, some thirty
miles north of this city, on Sunday
bringing much of the stock with him.
Since his return he has arrested Joe. P.
Wright and brother, one Burris and
another party whose name could not be
learned as the ringleaders of the gang
who have been making these counties
their headquarters and who have man-aged
the stealing of horses. Several
other parties are wanted and will be ar-rested
as soon as found. If the evidence
is as strong as it is thought the parties
under arrest will probably never steal
horses again, as there are many cases
against them.
Blown Up by Powder.
Denison, March 25.—[Special.!—While
tamping a charge of giant powder in
hard limestone on Houston avenue this
morning James Parks was fatally hurt
and Tom Lancaster slightly in-jured
by a premature explosion. Both
men were in the sewer ditches at work
and Parks was tamping the charge of
powder when the substance exploded.
He was hurled high in the air and fell
back into the hole bleeding, burned and
bruised horribly.
Wanted Her Liberty.
West Chester, Pa., March 25.—A
young woman made a desperate attempt
to escape from the Villa Marie convent
at this place this morning, but failed.
About 6 o’clock this morning she leaped
from one of the windows in the large
convent building to the ground fifteen
feet below and ran down the broad walk
leading to town, clad only in her night
clothes and with nothing but her stock-ings
on her feet. After her ran five
nuns, and when she got 100 yards from
the convent they caught her and dragged
her struggling and crying bitterly back
to the convent. The young girl cried
“murder!” several times, but no one
was near enough to go to her aid. A
young lad, who was near, was told by
one of the nuns that the girl was sick and
delirious, but this the fugitive indig-nantly
denied. She was about 18 years
of age and of attractive appearance.
The affair created a sensation here, but
as yet no steps have been taken to in-vestigate
the matter.
Sen tetter ed for Fifty Years.
San Francisco,March 25.—Lee Chuck,
a Chinaman, who was recently con-victed
of murder in the second degree
for killing a fellow countryman four
years ago, was sentenced today to fifty
years’ imprisonment. It was one of the
most noted Chinese criminal cases ever
brought to the attention of the courts
here and a large amount of money has
been spent in the prisoner’s defense by
the High Binder society to which lie be-longed.
Chuck was twice convicted of
murder in the first degree and sentenced
to death. Each time the supreme court
reversed the conviction. Chuck killed a
victim who was a member of a rival so-ciety
by shooting him down in the street
and he then called other High Binders
who riddled the body with bullets.

GERMANY.
THE NEW TENANT.
Berlin, [March 25.—Gen. Caprivi, in
entering the abandoned residence of the
Iron chancellor is reported to have said:
“I shall not probably remain here long,
it would be impossible for me to sacrifice
my honest opinion on the price of a
crown.” Prince Bismarck has deposited
all his stars, crosses and medals in a rich
bank. A jeweler’s estimate of their
value is £5,005. The Prince only retains
orders of the Golden Fleece and that of
the Black Eagle. “No more uniforms or
medals for me.” The veteran statesman
is reported to have said: “You have
forced me into retirement where I shall-wear
a frock coat and only need my iron
cross.”
COUNT BISMARCK’S SUCCESSOR.
Berlin, March 25.—Herr Von Alser-ban,

les Bain.
THE IRISH LAND BILL.
London, March 25.—The Pall Mall Ga-zette,
commenting on the Irish land pur-chase
bill introduced in the house of
commons, last night says: The bill is
abominable in that it dishonestly pro-fesses
to clear the British taxpayer of a
responsibility, while his credit is the
sole lever by which Mr. Balfour expects
to gain his ends. It is also unjust in
that it confers upon a handful of citizens,
at the expense of the rest of the commu-nity,
a boon to which they have no
claim beyond other cultivators of the
soil.
WILL ASSIST THE STRIKERS.
London, March 25.—Mr. Davitt will go
to Liverpool to help the dock laborers in
their strike.

now threaten Cajutepeque. The gov-eminent
has forces in readiness, but
nothing serious is feared.
