Corning, la., Feb. 24.—The members
of the Icarian community, 3 miles east
of this city, have agreed to a division
of their property and a dissolution of
the society, and steps are now being
taken to that end through a receiver of
the court. This community is social-
istic in the extreme. Its founder was
F. Cabet, and its inception dated back
to a period just previous to the French
revolution, when sixty-nine social-
ists embarked from Havre for
Texas, and located near the Red
river. Internal dissensions discouraged
the band and they removed to New
Orleans. As soon as Cabet learned of
this he sailed for New Orleans and as-
sumed supervision of the colony. Un-
der his leadership they migrated to
Nauvoo, 111. Here they were successful
again for a time, but disscusiousarose,
and in 1850 Cabet and 170 adherents
went to St. Louis, where the founder
died the same year. Meantime the
other faction settled in Adams county,
la., and were incorporated under the
laws of the state as ''Icaria." They
have lived here ever since. Another
eruption occurred in 1879, when the
property was equally divided. The re-
maining members have since contin-
ued in the original manner of living.
.john l.'s company disbands.
Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 24.—John
L. Sullivan's company, which has been
on the road for eight weeks with "A
True American," disbanded here yes-
terday, and the most of them will go
north on the Clyde ship, which sails to-
morrow morning for New York. They
have not been paid for over five
weeks, and charge that, on top
of a very poor business along
the route, Sullivan regularly spent
the receipts of each night in riot-
ing and carousing, compelling them to
stop at cheap hotels and boarding
houses, while he and his manager,
John J. Howard, with a gang of hang-
ers-on, put up at the first-class hotels.
Billy Wright, of the Phoenix Brew-
ing Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., will take
Howard, Sullivan, Dan Dwyer and
three others to Cuba and give sparring
exhibitions there for the next two
months, after which they will all go to
Spain from Havana direct.

day that Bishop Seannell, Vicar-Gen-

priest of the church and two laymen
foiyning the directory, had the right
under the laws of the Roman Catholic
church to mortgage the property of St.
Paul's church in this city without the
concurrence of the congregation. He
also decided that the congregation had
no authority to place in the pulpit a
priest not recognized by Bishop Scan-
nel as a Roman Catholic priest. The
suit had been brought to restrain
Bishop Seannell from interfering with
the congregation's possession of the
[property and from interfering with the
manner of worship.

San Francisco, Feb. 24 —Chief Ar-
thur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, is here awaiting the adjust-
ment of the difficulties between the
Southern Pacific railway and its en-
gf- «rs. It was supposed the trouble
wafc settled when the company an-
nounced its ultimatum of $4.70 a day in
the mountains and 81 : 0 for valley en-
gineers. This places all the engineers
on a more equitable footing, but the
men making mountain runs do not rel-

was sent as a contribution from the
farmers of Jefferson county. The cat-
was furnished by the Missouri Pacific

canvas tacked to one side of the car
was "Corn from the farmers of .Jeffer-
son count}', Ark., to the farmers of

ilar piece of canvas, was the following
allusion to Washington's birthday:
"Jefferson county, Ark., first in cot-

Nebraska farmers." Both pieces of
canvas vere tastefully ornamented

Washington, Feb 23.—Yesterday
afternoon the democratic steering

recommend that Mr. Butler be per-

bill at 3 o'clock to-day and it should

o'clock this afternoon Mr. Butler
moved to take up the bill. A vote was
at once demanded. This resulted 24 to

killed and a Sunday session prevented.

SUGAR BOUNTY.

Bill for Its Payment.
FttEB COINAGE IN CONGRESS
Unfavorable Keport on Itllla to Pvnalon
Missouri Militiamen of Interest to

Kallroad Legislation.
Washington, Feb. 24.—Senator
Blackburn, on behalf of the senate
committee on appropriations, yester-
day introduced an amendment to the
sundry civil bill to provide for the pay-
ment of the full bounty on the sugar
produced in 1803, and for the payment
of 8-10 of I cent per pound on
the production of 1801. The amend-
ment for the payment of the first-class
claims carries an appropriation of
$238,280, and is as follows: "That
there shall be paid by the secretary
of the treasury to the.e producers and
manufacturers of sugar in the United
States from maple ^ap, beets, sorghum
or sugar cane grown in ti.e United
States, who complied with the pro-
visions of the bounty law as contained
in the schedule of the tariff act of 1890,
a bounty of 2 cents a pound on all
sugars testing not less than 90 degrees
by the polariscopu and \\ cents per
pound on all sugars testing less tha:;
90 and not more than 80 degrees, mauu
factured and produced by them previ-
ous to the 28th of August, 1894, and
upon which no bounty has previously
been paid."
The provisions for the payment of a
part of last year's bouuty is that there
shall be paid to those producers who
complied with the McKinley bounty
law by filing application for license
and the bonds required^rior to July 1
1804, und who would have been entitled
to receive a liccnsc bounty of 8-10 of 1
cent a pound on sugars actually manu-
factured and produced in the United
States, testing not less than 80 de-
grees, during the period of the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1895, comprised in
the period commencing August 28, 1894,
and ending June 30, 1m95, and for this
pu. iOSc $5,000,000 is appropriated. No
bounty is to be given to any person en-
gaged in refining sugars which have
been imported into the United States
or produced in the United States upon
which the bounty herein provided for
has already been paid or applied for.
free coinage in cong rush.
Washington, Feb. 2 4. -It has been
known for some time that a movement
was on foot for a thorough organiza-
tion of the free coinage element o* the
democratic perty. A - ha* been known,
the free coinage element is confined
almost exclusively to the south and
west. Conspicuous free coinage demo-
crats have been talking very seriously
of late of formally breaking with the
gold element of the party. Some time
ago it was rumored that soon after con-
gress adjourns there will be a confer-
ence of free coinage democrats from the
south and west Messrs. Bryan, Bland,
Livingston and De Armond and others
admit that such a conference is in con-
templation, but they are not as yet
ready to reveal any of the details. It
is their plan to organize the free coin-
age element within the party and to
try to capture control of the party ma-
chinery and of the next political con-
vention. They claim that by proper
organization the free coinage men of
the south and west can easily be in the
majority in the next national conven-
tion.
In the meantime the republican lead-
ers are trying to get together on some
compromise on the coinage question.
missouri militia pensions.
Washington, Feb. 24.—The pension
committee has ordered unfavorable re-
ports made on the bills to pension
David ('. Allen and Henry C. Chancy,
of the Missouri enrolled militia. The
action applies to quite a number of
claimants. The report sa3's: "This
was purely a militia service, and this
organization was never mustered into
service of the United States. The
policy of congress and this committee
has been to pension non-mustered men
only for wounds or injuries received
in battle. No such wound is shown or
alleged in this case. Your committee,
therefore, report the bill adversely, and
recommend that it do lie on the table."
no pacific railroad legislation.
Washington, Feb. 24.-In spite o 1
the constant agitation of the subject,
it may be definitely stated that there
will be no Pacific railroad legislation
at this session of congress. The action
of the house committee on Pacific rail-
roads in agreeing to a new bill does
not by any means indicate that in the
coming crowded week an additional two
days will b devoted to this subject,
upon which the sense of the house has
already been so well tested. Chairman
Reilly himself, although anxious for
some legislative action at this session
and willing to make any reasonable
compromise, does not believe that
there is any prospect for a further dis-
cussion of the matter in the house.

A GOLD PREMIUM PREDICTED.
The London Ntuti*t on the United Mtittc*
Loan and the Financial Situation Here.
London, Feb. 24.—The Statist say*
that the high rate of interest asked for
the United States loan is due to the
belief that further loans will soon be
needed, and if the president refuses to
borrow and congress does not act
properly, gold will go to a premium
and disappear from circulation. Thi«
will be followed by a panic in Wall
street, and the money market bushiest
will be paraly/.cd until the elections
next year are o er. The true remedy
for the currency crisis is a loan to call
in and cancel the greenbacks.

treasurer, ju^t as taxe* are paid. In
fact, the system suggested is precise-
ly like the present tax collecting sys-
tem. There are two plans of ap-
praisement suggested. One is to
leave the matter to the county com-
missioners to name a man in each
township, to appraise the land, and
the commissioners shall then sit as a
board of review to hear and deter-
mine complaints either of excessive
j appraisal or of appraisements that
are too low, tli6 county superintend-
ent being designated the agent uX the
school fund. The other plan is to
divide the whole territory into three
districts, and put a salaried officer in
C ich district to do the appraisement.
THE IIUSINESM OUTLOOK.
dencral Trade During ThU Week Han Heen
Irregular.
New York, Feb. 23.—Bradstreet's on
Saturday will say: Ueuural trade dur-
ing this, a short week, has been more
irregular. The success of the latest
emergency bond Issue has revived con-
fidence somewhat in the general finan-
cial situation. Iron and steel are no
moro active, recent advances being
barely maintained.
The outlook in the soft coal industry
is more i ettled, owiug to efforts to
form a poo!, and sbtadier prices and
wages are expected. Prices have not
reacted materially, concessions in quo-
tations of cattle, lard and oats being
the only losses of not*?. Cotton goods,
it is true, have been barely .-(toady, but
hogs, pork, cotton, irou and steel re-
main firm, while prices for wheat,
corn, coffee and refined sugar made
fractional advances during the week.
Prices of wool continue weak, about
200,000 pounds of XX and above having
been picked up by manufactures below
27 cents. In dry goods foreign dress
woolens are relatively most active, job-
bers' supplies being taken about as
fast as received. Cottons are quite dull,
buyers being cent lower in their
views than sellers.
Exports of wheat from both coasts
of the United States (Seattle telegram
missing) are naturally smaller than
usual for a week owiug to the holiday,
the total amounting to 1,808,978
bushels, agaiilst 2,572,000 last week
1 ,,o00 in the week a year ago, 2,
.'>40,000 two years ago and 3,307,000
three years ago.
