But few of the large packing houses at the stock yards are running. In Armour's, which is the busiest, only a few cattle are being killed. The canning department is entirely sus pended, and as many other departments are dependent upon the canning depart ment for work, they too are closed, and as a consequence a large number of men are out of employment. Outside of these, employed regularly, there is a few hours work for a small num ber of men, and the engagement of these men brings on fights and struggles that occur daily in the yards. The men gather as early as 5 r clt .k in the morn ing and increase until 7 o'clock when the foreman appears to secure men he needs. Instantly there is a rush to get near him. Might makes right in that rush and the weak are knocked down or pushed aside. No consideration is shown tor anv one, and the man who is not strong enough to assert himself and de fend himself must get out or he will be knocked out. A number of men are said to have been urt, some of them seriously, in the aily struggle, and those who fail to secure work assault the workmen and rob them of their dinner pails and what money they may have. In the evening men and children stand around with baskets begging for what may be left of tbe luncheon of the workmen. ies. Central America, Venezuela Guiana.

Heinitsn & Reagan DRUGGISTS, No. as South Main IStreel.l FatCon Ate, & Church St, why is it t atoll- Are There No Democrats of Itv For These Places? Washington, Dec. 26. It is thought to be very strange that in these days of Democratic supremacy, when good Dem ocrats from all parts of the country are seeking Federal patronage, the Cleve land administration should permit Re publicans to hold some ot the most lucra tive offices under the gift of the govern ment. Here in tbe district of Columbia, for instance, all officials are Republicans. President Harrison's best friend. Col. Dan Ransdell, is still the Marshal of the district, and the colored ex Senator Bruce is still the recorder of deeds, the fees of which are variously estimated to be from 25,000 to $40,000 a year. It is so all down the list. Republicans occupy all these fat offices and laugh in their sleeves at the chagrin of the Democrats, who can neither get into the offices nor learn why they are kept out. Tbe most conspicuous of Republican holdoverism is that of the public printer. Here is a great branch of the public ser vice, employing several hundred men, women, girls and boys, and that has control of large expenditures. At. the head of it all is still Frank Palmer of Chicago, one of the most radical Repub licans who ever lived. Many good Dem ocrats of ability and party stnnaing have been persistently endeavoring to have a change mad in this office, but for some unaccountable reason the Presi! dent prefers to retain Mr. Palmer. N. Y. ban. MA V ASK AT O.NCli FOR BONDS IT IS DOUBLY STRICKEN RIO AFFLICTED BV WAR AMD PESTILENCE. tORIHiTT-MITCHl'XL FIGHT, BIS BllicUll will Have Flitht First. Tampa, Fla., Dec. 29. Governor Mitchell returned last nghtfrom a day's unt. He was shown a dispatch re questing him to direct the attorney gen- ral to associate himself with the prose cution of the Corbett-Mitchell case and said : "I am doubtful if my authority is suffi cient to make any such order, and I should not do it, at any rate, before con sulting with General Lamar. As to my withdrawing my opposition to the fight n tiie event ot an order trom ludge Call releasing the men, I will say that the lorida supreme court the court ot last resort, is the only one, I will vield to in this instance. There are seven circuit udges and each one mav have different pinions. At any rate I know the law uite as well as any one of the circuit udues. I shall therefore do all in mv power to stop this tight until a mandate the supreme court compels me to desist." Friends of both Corbett and Mitchell. spcially the latter, treated their arrest vsterdav as a huge loke. Before Jauu- ary 2, when the principals are named to ppear uelore the Criminal Court of Record, another procedure is to be taken which will in a measure test the law. This is an application for a writ of ha beas corpus, which will be made before udge Call, probably next Monday. If udge Call holds that the arrest was ille gal, Mitchell and Corbett will both be released and will engage in a glove con test it tliev please. II, on the other hand. judge (.an decides that tbe arrest was egal, then the principals will be com pelled to appear before the Criminal court on tbe day named a ad then their case goes before a jury. Corbett and Mitchell in case of convic ion, would be confined in mil three months and be fined $250 eacb. Uncle Ham's Available Balance Continues to Dwindle. Washington, Dec. 20. The available cash in the Treasury continues to de crease. Today it amounted to only $90,487,768. The available currency is less than $8,000,000. Tbe amount of gold is about $82,600,000. The condi tion of the treasury is such that it is believed that Congress, immediately upon reassembling, will be asked to furnish relief. It is possible that Chair man Wilson will be asked to interrupt tariff debate, after it has been started, so that legislation on the lines recom mended in Secretary Carlisle's report may be carried throagh. If authority to issue short-time bonds up to $200,000, 000 were given the Secretary, it is not probable that the maximum amount would be issued. To restore the gold reserve to $100,000 000 would only re quire an issue ot 30.000,OOO, and, on the estimates ot the probable deficiency at the end of tbe fiscal year, it is believed that an issue ot $75,000,000 would meet all the requirements. It is believed that knowledge that the Secretary has authority to issue bonds to the amount of $200,000 would tend to discourage large gold shipments. In view of the X reasury showing, it is probable that tbe bond question will be acted upon before the tariff bill is disposed of. New York World. COLORADO IMBROGLIO. .egiaiatlv Session Called and Impeachment Mooted. Denver, Dec. 20. An attempt will be made to adjourn the special session o the Legislature called by the Governor immediately after the assembling.

Tbe Insurgents Mot Recognized as sncti by tbe Forelsn Govern mentH-The Horrors of War Have Their Effect. Rio de Janerio. Dec. 29. Admiral Da Gana, commander of the insurgent fleet in the absence of De Mello, made a for mal demand today tioon the representa tives of foreign powers at this capitol, asking that tbe insurgents be recognized as beligerents. The diplomatic corps refused to accord the request of the insur gent admiral. Buenos Avres, Dec. 29. News has reached here from Rio de Janeiro tbat the unfortunate city which has for months past been suffering from the rav ages of war, is now a victim to tbe rav ages of the worst and most dreaded of all diseases, yellow fever. Five deaths from. this disease are already reported. The news that yellow fever has added Its burdens and horrors to the suffer ings already endured by the people of Rio has caused widespread attention here and much sympathy is expressed for the plague and war-stricken inhab itants. The government is taking every precaution to prevent a spread of the disease, but the work of the officials at Rio de Janerio is greatly hampered by the condition to which the city has been reduced by the horrors of war. The yel low fever which has broken out in Rio de Janerio is not the mild form ot tbat feyer, but it is the worst form of black vomit. THE BABY DID MOT CRY. sieeplne car Passengers Donate a Medal. Aluaxv, N. , Dec. 29. Sir. and Mrs. Jeremiah D. Robertson of 522 Clinton avenue went to the World's Fair and took the baby along. They occupied berths in a sleeping car and the baby en dured the jolting without a whimper. In the morning a woman who occupied a berth adjoining asked Mrs Robertson where she and the baby had taken the train. Mrs. Robertson said she had been on the train ever since leaving Albany. The woman and others were so surprised at having a baby in a sleeping car all night without hearing it cry that a sub scription was taken up on the car, with the result that a silver medal for the baby arrived last week. A WACGI8H FOLK for Aialnsl His Principles to Pan Anything on Sunday. New York, Dec. 29.

In the Essex Market court Jay told Justice Noorhis that Mr. Meddler had conceded tbe point and paid all dam ages, in spite ot the shock t Ins teelings.
