Its Old-Tim* Supporter A|sla Ttlk^g ts Favor of the Big Waterway--Revival of tfcw Romor Regarding tho Retirement of U. S. Clarknoii Washington Gossip. Washington dispatch: An extended and forcible argument in favor of a government appropriation for the build­ ing of the Hennepin canal was made be­ fore tbe river and harbor committee of of tho House by .lorry H. Murphy, the long-time advocate of the project. Nearly all of the Illinois congressmen and many other western congressmen were present. Mr. Murphv reviewed the steps here­ tofore taken in the efforts to establish this great project, and set" forth the overwhelming indorsement of the enterprise by. statesmen, legislative bodies, conventions, and others since 1845, when John C. Calhoun, "that strict constructionist." presidod over a conven­ tion at Memphis which adopted a resolution declaring that the proiect of connecting the Mississippi river with the lakes of the north by a canal, and thus with the Atlantic ocean,* was a measure worthy of the consideration of Congress. He submitted many figures to show that the United States had done less to improve her waterways in the interest of commerce than England, France, Russia, Germany, Holland, Sweden, or Austria. The importance of the Henne­ pin canal for defensive purposes in time of war was also elaborately set forth. Speaking of what the canal would do for agriculture and eonim<5rce, Mr. Murphy said: "I makejjie statement, and challenge investigation, that if the government, through its representatives, will do its duty and construct this canal there will bo a saving of at least 4 cents per bushel over present railroad rates now charged from the Mississippi river to the lakes. And the saving of 4 cents-per bushel on the surplus grain of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Wisconsin will amount annually to $20,884,070, enough to build this canal three times, and not including in this estimate other products of. tho Western toilers that would amount to millions more." It Is announced that Mr. Clarkson, first assistant Postmaster General, will retireon June 1. Mr. Clarkson's resigna­ tion, to take effect on that date, has been prepared and will be handed in shortly. Mr. Clarkson is tired of the place and its drudgery. The pay is $4,000 a year, and this is not commensurate with the duties. Besides, as he says, ho only took the pl*p- temporarily, and he has been re^dj^o reave it for & number of months. Ho has been Importuned to hang on until now, when ho out turu over the office to other hands. HE IS UNPOPULAR. Emperor William's Vagaries Have Caused Alarm Throughout HU Empire. Edmund Yates' special London' cable to the New York Tribune says: "The federal Princes of the German Empiro have no sort of belief in the brilliant capacity of Emperor William. They are disgusted and terrified at his recent vagaries. The Duke of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha and a dozen German royalties took advantage of his relationship to remon­ strate in strong terms with the Emperor, and he was justified in so doing as tho trusted friend arid often confidential ad­ viser of his majesty's father and grand­ father. But his protests were of no avail. The Duke was so indignant that he refused to stay In Berlin for tly chapter of the Black Eagle, but went off to Coburg in high dudgeon. The Duke's sentiments are most fully shared by tho King of Saxony, the Prince regent of Bavaria, and above all the Grand Duke of Baden. "One certain result of the retirement of Prince Bismarck will be, I hear, the early resignation of Count Kalnoky. It Is expected in diplomatic circles in Vienna that he will be succeeded by Count von Wolkensteln, the Austrian ambassador to Russia, who has just arrived in Vienna from St. Petersburg on leave of absence." .31 * .24. .44 .29 .11 .11?$ (9 .57 tg> 10.75 .78 M .25 .45 .51 10.60 8.00 9.00 a. 50 .8iV.(4 .82 <g .27 & .81 ® .80 .28 & .81 & .34 & .25% S.46 .52 an. to @ 4.25 4.25 (4 5.50 .82)4 .81% .815$ .23)4 4.00 4.25 6.50 .00 .8» .28 11.75 & 5.00 & 4.75 Cas 7.25 ® .93 <& .40 & .32 @12.25 4.25 4.00 ® 5.00 ® 4.50 •SI'*!# .82)4 .22^(9 .23 .41:^ .42)4 3.00 @ 4.75 3.00 <31 4.59 3.00 @ 5.7$ .79 & .89 .SO'4® .3154 .24)4® .26)4 8.7» 0 4.25 .81 % .33)4 .96 & .26 .IT 49 .47)4 4.25 4.W .« 4.75 4.7S UTEI AMD PROPERTY BY WINDS.

An Akron (Ohio) dispatch says: A terrific cyclone swept over . Summit county, Cutting a path twelve miles long and a quarter of a mile wide. It started In the northwestern end of the county and Its path was southwesterly, nearly to the county line. The devas­ tated district is in Sharon, Copley, Akron and Springfield townships. Frame houses were crushed like egg-shells and whirled end over, end, brick buildings were scattered to the wind, and huge trees sriaDpod off. People who saw it conning took refuge in their cellars when they had time, and others took their chances out of doors, clinging to the nearest staple object. At Sharon two enormous black clouds »wept. toward each other from the north. No breath of air stirred for a few moments. Suddenly the clouds met with a fearful crash. Then the cofisbli- dated cloud began to whirl and approach the ground In a trail, which rapidly grew hnd lowered with an awful roar. AH was darkness except for Intermittent Hashes of lightning which showed tile air full of flying timbers and debris. The greatest fury of the 6torin was felt in Sharon. The first victim was Matthew Bromley. He was trying to make his way from his barn to his house when the cloud descen«ied, lifted him into the air, hurled him tweuty rods, and deposited him among the fall­ ing timbers of his barn, which had been lifted from its foundation and whirled to pieces, leaving the horses standing on the ground floor unharmed. Bromley was crushed under the lieavv. beams, sustaining injuries from which he soon died. On a knoll near by stood the large two-story frame house of Hugh Frank, with barns and outbuildings. Mr. and Mrs. Frank, who were in the house, heard the awful roar and rushed to the cellar. They never reached it. The house was torn into kindling-wood above their heads and borne awav with the storm. Neighbors found Frank's dead body in the ditch across the road. He had been driven head-forward with such force that his head was buried in the earth. The body was shockingly mangled by contact with missiles In the air. Mrs. Frank was found in a wheat field thirty rods from where the houso had stood, with several bones broken. She died several hours later. N. C. Fullnior was milking a cow in his barn when the building was crushed and lifted skyward. He was found 150 feet away with injuries from which he will die. » Frank Brambly and his family huddled in their cellar while their house was lifted from its foundation and carried several rods. The ruins caught fire and werei consumed. Pittsburg (Pa.) dispatch: Western Pennsylvania has been visited by an unusual rain, wind, and electric storm. Great damage was done, and at least two lives were lost. In this city a number of houses were struck by light­ ning and several persons stunned, but not seriously injured. The rain fell in torrents for several hours, flooding cel­ lars and causing small streams to over­ flow. At West Elizabeth two children of George Beattie, a boy arid girl, aged 7 years, were drowned on their way to school while crossing a foot log over Lobb's run. The little girl lost her foot­ ing £tnd tell In the water find heir brave little twin brother in trying to rescue her lost his life also. A Columbus (Ga) dispatch says: Columbus has been visited by a ter­ rific cyclone, which came from tho Alabama side and swept over the city with terrific velocity. The shaft over the electric-light company's building was blown over, crushing through the roof and damaging the machinery. One man had a narrow escape. The electric lights were extinguished last night. Some houses were unroofed and a number of signs blown down. The wind was fol­ lowed by heavy rain and hail. The storm was very severe in east Alabama. Roanoke (Va.) dispatch: The ereat- est tornaco lor many years passed over this city last evening. Tho cast house at the Crozier iron furnace was blown down and three laborers killed and one mortally wounded. Loss to the furriace company. $5,000. Nearly one hundred dwellings In course of erection were com­ pletely demolished. The Salem furnace was blown down, a heavy loss j^eing re- ported, and buildings in that Vicinity were reduced to ruins. ARS STAYING AT HOME Lar.e Decrease In Engllnh Emigration to America. London Cable: The statistics 'sub- mitted by the authorities In charge of British emigration show that since .Tan. 1 emigration to America has decreased 8,000 below that for the corresponding period of 18S9. This falling off, it is represehted, is due' to the fact that wages have in­ creased at home until they are quite as high, and in some cases higher, than tho rates paid for similar employment in America, while the opportunities for obtaining work here are equally good.

Chicago dispatch: Englewood Is ex­ cited over a poisoning which promises to develop into one of the most perplex­ ing sensations that quiet suburb has eyfer known. The present Indications are that the case is one of murder. George P. Newland and his family, consisting of a wife, a sgn, and daugh­ ter--both grown up--have lived for years at '5236 Wabash avenue, In a pala­ tial residence. Mr. Newland was a well-known resident of Englewood and a retired real-estate man, living on the interest of his accumulations. Tho other night all four * members of the family were taken violently ill- They had eaten some canned corn for supper and the supposition was that they had been poisoned In that manner. Medical aid was called in, but in spite of all that could be done, Mr. Newland, who seemed to have been the most violently attacked, expired about 3 o'clock next morning. The re?t of the story can best be told in the words of Dr. Crutcher, who was sum­ moned by a friend of the Newlands. "When'.I arrived at the house." said the doctor, "I fonnd Mr. Newland already dead. Mrs. Newland Was dying, and the indications were that she-bad been poisoned by arsenic. She had suf­ fered all the symptoms of arsenical poi­ soning, such as intense burning at the stomach, vomiting, thirst, drinking often and little at a time, and there was no doubt in my mind that she had in some manner taken a dose of ar­ senic. She was.in a state of complete collapse when I saw her, and it was evident that she could not live very much longer. I presume she is dead by this time, though I have not heard. The daughter Grace, who was poisoned, is still quite sick but will undoubtedly re­ cover. Neither she nor her brother is aware that their father is dead or that their mother is not likely to recover. All the patients are kept in separate rooms. Young Newland, I have no doubt, will also recover. "As soon as I saw that Mrs. Newland was beyond all earthly help I hunted up the can of corn from which the family had partaken and examined It. I could sec, on a casual examination, no reason to believe that the family had been poi­ soned by partaking of the corn." The doctor tnen went on to tell of his suspicions in the case. ' He found out, it seems, that one of the servants who had been employed about the house borrowed money from Miss Grace Newland yesterday with which to buy some medicine, as she claimed. The girl returned that night, but ate no supper, and, it is alleged, has disappeared. Dr. Crutcher says he visited the drug store to which the girl went and was told that she had pur­ chased there "Rough on Rats," which contains a very large per cent of arsenic. As the evidence against the girl is by no means complete her name is withheld. The surviving members of the family say they can imagine no reason why any one should attempt to 'murder them in such a cold-blooded fashion. A later dispatch reports the death of Mrs. Newland. The servant girl who gives her name as Emma Stark has been arrested and has confessed to buying rat poison but says she intended to kill herself but changed her mind and threw the poison away.' She says when sh((6 saw that tho family were taken sick she became •frightened lest she should be accused and fled. THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. the JM36# 4AM TOUCHED HIM FOR £50a Why Emln Paeha Deserted the Khedive-- A Delayed Remittance. Cairo Cable: It Is stated that Emin's hasty acceptance of Wissmann's offer of a post In tho pay of Germany was partly due to his disappointment at not receiving a reply from the Khedive to his request for a gift of £500 for tho purpose of building himself a house at B&gamovo. It seems that the fact of the matter is that the Khedive acceded to Emin's request, but that his reply to that effect was delayed in transmission, this leading to Emin's misunderstanding and subsequent desertion of the Khe­ dive. THREE MILLIONS INVOLVED. Decision in the Lincoln (Neb.) Dawson* Will Case. Lincoln (Neb.) dispatch: A dispatch from Washington says that the United States Supreme court has decided, the noted Dawson will case in favor of the widow and heirs. Over 8%000,000 worth of the most valuable property In the city was Involved in this case, which has been before the courts for yean, and four times tb the Suprcaie court ot tho United States. SH:-: CONFESSES ALL. •ntma ?• t irke Telia Hoiv She Poisoned the Newlands. Cli'caga dispatch: Emma Starke, alias Mamie Starr, has made a full and complete confession of how she poisoned tho Newland family. Chief Marsh was an early morning caller at the Harrison street station, where Emma Starke, the young woman who poisoned the Newland familv of Englewood, was confined in a eell. Within fifteen minutes after the chief entered the desperate girl's cell ho was in full possession of her confession. Emma, without a particle of mental reservation, admitted that she poisoned the family, and with almost unnatural coolness related every detail of tho ter­ rible tragedy. Your correspondent met the chief as he was on the way to tho girl's cell. "I am going to trv and wind up this Newland poisoning case," said he. "I will maKc the girl tell all siie knowsthis morning if I remain hero until noon." "Good morning, Emma," said the chief. "How are you feeling?" "Oh, chief, do come and talk with me," said the miserable young woman, *Tm afraid my time has come. I am too sick to eat." "Will you tell me all?" asked Chief Marsh. "Yes, my God, I must. Tne suspense will kill me. I must not be hanged." The chief sat and listened to one Ot the most pitiful, yet terrible tales he had ever heard in all his official career. The story was as follows: "I did not. as you think, obtain a place with the Newland family with a premeditated plan to kill them. It was to secure a place where I mjght kill myself that I went there. The world appeared dark to me. I am in a deli­ cate eondltion, with no one to bo a father to my child. As soon as I got the chance I borrowed enough money to se­ cure the poison. Not knowing just how It acted, and wishing to be sure of the amount of the drug necessary to produce a more serious effect than mere nausea, I just dropped a little In tli.o corn. I wanted to watch tho effect the dose would have upon those who ate the corn. Alas for me, I put In too much, ^ftfh the result that you know. I, too, partook of the corn, but it only made me sick. After seeing the result; of my work I should have tak^n the remain­ der of the poison, but was too unnerved. Believe mo, I did not intend to kill any of the familv. I wanted to die myself. Will they hang me? Oh, that Is too ter­ rible. Please get me some poison and l«t me eml my life." > By careful questioning tho chief re­ ceived all the othor information ho wanted Notable Features In the Trade of Country During the Last Week. iNew York diapatch.] Brad*lreet'8 "State of Trade" says: "Special telegrams corroborate pre­ viously reported indications that, while the volume of general trade is heavy, there has been a distinct check to the movement of staples to retailers' hands, as compared with the distribution some months ago. Overflows along ihe Lower Mississippi Valley have checked trade at New Orleans, and even at St. Louis a similar influence has been felt. At New York, while the quarter's total of bank earnings is 4 per cent, larger than in 1889, for March the total this year is per cent, less than in March, 1889. The bank clearings at thiity-six cities for March aggregated $4,533,510,800, a fain over a year ago of over 5 per cent, 'or the first quarter of 1890 tne gain is 58 per cent, over the first quarter of 1889. The only assignable cause for the existing depression in the iron and steel market in the face of extraordinary consumption and prospects for still heavier consump­ tion, is found in the fact that a produc­ tive capacity has been developed in every department to an extraordinary degree. The increase in the production of erode iron within the past six months amoupts to but little less than 50,0(10 tons per week. Wheat has not varied in price much, tending upward toward to the close. Re­ duced stocks abroad and crop damage at home are stimulating features. Exports have declined visibly, notably from the Pacific coa't. The total shipped this week, both coasts (including flour as wheat), is 1,521,896 bushels, Against 2,401,156 bushels the week before. From July 1 last to date the exports equal 81,- 214,075 bushels, against 09,040,120 bush­ els in the like portion of 18S8-89. Drivel in spring dress-goods are leading features of the Eastern dry-goods jobbing trade. A considerable amount of business has been effected at cnt rates. Trade with agents is only moderate. Cotton and wool dress goods show a most notable activity. Prices are as a rule unchanged. Cotton is dull and un­ changed, as is all raw wool. Reports of failure* throughout the United States during the first quarter of tbe current year show a total of 3,326,' against 3,569 in tho first quarter of 1889. The aggregate liabilities of failing traders are $33,814,304, against $41,761,596, and actual assets $16,082,312,against $20,376,- 798 iw.jjfrs first quarter o| 18S9 THE NATIONAL S0L0NS.

Mr. Morrill briefly explained. that the substitute provided a service pension of a month to soldiers who hava reached the> see of 62 years or who are dependent. il» thought the same principle which had been ap­ plied to the veterans of the war of 1812 and tn» war with Mexico should be applied to th» veterans of the war of 1861.

Mr. Adams, of Illinois, - called up tbe motion to reconsider the vote by which the House ds-, feated the bill making an appropriation to sup­ ply the deficiency caused by the Silcott defalca­ tion. The motion was then reconsidered and tbe bill was passed. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Butterworth, at Ohio, in tho chair) on the naval appropriation bill. The bill was taken up by sections; bat without completing its detailed consideration^' tbe committee rose and the House adjournsd.

SpUerw | The New York Ledger tells how a spider provided for his comfort on the road. The insect can not be suspected of having taken a Lint from Pullman, but it seems as though some ingenious person might contrive to apply the spider's plan to the lessening of human fatigue while making long journeys. A doctor desired to send a fine speci­ men of the spider tribe to a medical friend who was exceedingly curious in the study of such matters. As the" readiest means of transit he inclosed it in A common wooden box, and dis­ patched the tiny traveler by express. Tl\ e box, however; was too roomy for the spider's wants, and as he seems to Lave disliked the jolting incident to traveling, he had recourse to % Tory ingenious remedy. When the box reached its destina­ tion and the consignee opened it he was equally surprised and delighted to find that his insect charge had spun for him­ self a superb hammock, securely hung from the four corners of his prison house, in which he had oouched, ia sailor-fashion, as softly m te doM ia Science Kotea.
