Latest Advices of the Epidemic in Ch The steamer Belgic arrived at San Fran- cisco yesterday with fuller details of the black plague now raging in Hong Kong. When the vessel cleared the scare over the first disclosures of the epidemic’s pro- gress had subsided considerably and it was vainly hoped the disease would soon be stamped out. The mortality statistics re- vealed the terrible character of the dis- ease. Despite the operations of the sanitary staff and the police, assisted by the med- ical men of the army, and soldiers from Sharpshire regiment, about tive hundred | new cases had been reported within a week and there had been 400 deaths. To cap the climax an outbreak of smallpox was dreaded. For a day or two the people thought the epidemic was losing its viru- | lence. Another favorable indication appeared to be the co-operation of the Chinese, who were said to be assisting in the detection of cases and the removal of patients to the hospitals. The rate of mortality drop- ped temporarily. The sanitary authoritie: gained encouragement, and while the rain- Water washed out some house drainage the hydrants were scattered abeut and intected houses were cleaned and whitewashed. The prevalence of the disease created a good deai of alarm in the different ship- ping quarters in communication with the | port. Saigon and the other ports of the | French colonies quarantined all vessels | arriving from Hong Kong. | Singapore followed suit and the aspect for the shipping interests was becoming | serious. The plague increased in virulence and the discovery of a greater number of | cases aroused the enmity of the Chinese, | who had for a short time appeared will- ing to co-operate with the authorities on bringing to light all known cases. At- tempts were made to evade the inspection. Sick persons were removed irom house to house at the approach of the police. Houses were barricaded and the officers were stoned by the infuriated Chinese. News from Canton, where the plague Started, states that the death rate now averages 200 a day. During March and April they averaged five hundred daily. Although the fact that “black death” was | raging in Canton became known only about a month ago, it appears that the disease started as long ago as last Feb- ruary. { ———+e- —____ FORTY-FIVE DROWNED.

The drownin: people, few of whom could swim, clutched frantically at each other in their efforts to keep themselves had a controversy with a negro named Ballinger, which culminated making an assault. Later he was arrested, brought to trial, found guilty and fined. Chief Kent has been arrested for whipping the negro who was afflicted with smallpox and died last Thursday, and his case will come up for trial next Thursday. The af- fair has aroused much excitement in the vicinity. The colored people propose to see that the brutal treatment that one of their race received is avenged. —-see—_____ New Liberal Leader in the Common: It is announced that Sir William Ver- non Harcourt, the chancellor of the ex-| chequer and liberal leader in the isritish | house of commons, will retire from the lower house at the close of the present} session and, it is added, he will ihen be elevated to the house of lords.

AGAINST THE LORDS| British Revolt Against the Upper House of Parliament. MOVE 70 ABOLISH THE VETO FOWER The Liberal Party Called on to Act. GENERAL FOREIGN AFFAIRS a LEEDS, England, June 20.—Two thousand delegates were present today in Albert Hall when Mr. Spence Watson called the anti- lords conference to order. The conference was organized by the national liberal fed- eration and a committee of that body sub- mitted the following resolutions: Ist. That the power now exercised by the house of lords to mutilate and reject measures passed by the representatives of the people in the house of commons has been systematically used to defeat reforms, is inconsistent with the right of free pop- ular self government, and should cease to exist. 2d. That this meeting call upon the gov- ernment to introduce a measure for the abolition of the lords’ veto power by pro- viding that whenever a bill passed by the commons shall be altered or rejected by the lords, the same bill may be reaffirmed | by the commons, with or without such al- teration, be subject only to the royal as- sent, and thereupon become a law. 3d. That this meeting assures the gov- ernment of the resolute support of the party in any steps that may be deemed necessary to enforce the passage of this great constitutional reform. Contrary to expectations, there were few important delegates present, the most prom- inent ons on the platform being Chair- man Watson, James Henry Dalziel, member of parliament for the Kirkcaldy district of Scotland; Sir Wilfred Lawson, president of the United Kingdom Alliance for the Suppression of the Liquor Traffic and member of the Cockermouth division of Cumberland; Mr. Michael Davitt and Mr. Henry Labouchere, tne radical leader and member for Northampton. During the course of his address at the opening of the conference Mr. Watson said that the present position of affairs was un- bearable. (Loud cheers.) Continuing, the chairman said that the time for action upon the part of the lberal party had come. There must be a definite policy, because the government itself was endangered. When once the policy of the party toward the house of lords was formu- lated, there could be neither wavering nor compromise. The battle must be fought out to the end and tne end must be victory. Mr. Watson then moved the first reso- lution, that the power now exercised by the house of lords to mutilate and reject Measures passed by the representatives of the people in the house of commons has been systematically used to defeat reform, is inconsistent with the rights of free popu- lar self government and should cease to exist. Secretary Harford of the Society of Rail- condemned the house of lords for its at- titude in regard to labor questions, After other speeches had been made upon the same subject, Delegate Barnard com- plained that the racing and gambling pro- pensities of the lords had not been mention- ed in the resolution. (Laughter.) The resolution was then adopted as pro- pesed. The second resolution, that the meeting call upon the government to introduce a measure for the abolition of the lords’ veto power, by providing that whenever a bill passed by the commons shall be altered or rejected by the lords, the same bill may be reaffirmed by the commons, with or without such alterations, be subject only to the royal assent, and thereupon become law, was then moved. Mr. Henry Labouchere moved a substi- tute for this resolution declaring that the lords, being useless and dangerous, ought to be abolished, and calling upon the government to introduce a measure for the abolition of the house of lords. Mr. Labouchere met with an enthusiestic reception and during the speech which he made upon the subject of his substitute he declared that self government was a farce so long as hereditary legislators ex- isted. _——__ Made Havoc in the Car. From the New York Herald. One of the peculiar trifies of metropolitan travel in connection with the elevated road is the havoc of ccmfort a single individual can make by remaining in his seat till the train stops and then plunging for the door through the crowd. I doubt whether gen- eral public opinion of such a man can be adequately measured in the ordinary lan- Guage of polite life—certainly not the opin- fon of men and women who daily and hour- ly have their toes trodden on and ribs frac- tured or breath knocked out of them by the operation. The performance is not a premeditated one, as a rule, but is due to carelessness. A man gets buried in a news- paper or absorbed in conversation, when he suddenly discovers that the train is at station, Then he jumps up and makes a break for the door through a score or so of innocent and unsuspecting passengers who are standing. Those of the latter who are lucky enough to be holding to straps are fortunate now, for they can maintain their feet, but the other people are plough- ed down right and left and turned over iuto the laps of the sitters. The cause of all this may get out all right, but if looks and silent objurgations could take physigal effect he would have to be carried away from that station in an ambulance. It is but fair to say that these offenders are usually—almost exclusively—men. Nor could I make the small reservation but for | BURNED AT MIDNIGHT Tho Guests at the Eckington Hastily Ejected by Fire. Lack of Water Embarrassed the Fire Department—A Conaidtrable Por- tion of the Hotel Destroyed. Shortly before midnight last night fire was discovered in the Eckington Hotel, corner of 3d and T streets northeast, and before it could be extinguished the main part of the hotel was in ruins. The guests had all retired, and everything was quiet | about the place, when a neighbor ran into the hotel and raised the cry of fire. The alarm awakened some of the guests, and the cry of fire was caught up all through the house. In a tew seconds the hotel wes in a state of wild excitement. A number had not been awakened, and the neighbors who had been attracted by the fire ram through the house, beating at the doors that were closed and crying aloud that the house was on fre. Fortunately, no one was injured, although there were many narrow escapes. The guests ran from the burning building in their night clothes, thoroughly frightened. They were not a moment too soon, for the fire spread rap- | idly and the hote! was soon ablaze. Col. Bates ran to the power house of the rafl- road and telephoned for the fire depart- ment. Engine company No. 6 was the first to respond. When the department arrived the entire rear portion of the building was in flames, and Chief Parris at once sent in a message, calling out companies Nos. § and 3, truck A and the chemical engine. A Short Water Supply. But the fire department couid do little in the way of saving the hotel. It was se- verely handicapped by a lack of water, and the pressure upon the little that was to be had was deficient. The flames ate their way over the entire building unchecked. Chief Parris, as soon as his attention was dl- rected to the lack of water, ordered the | pump house at Georgetown to cut off all the water in that section and turn it into the mains which supplied the northeast, After this was done the supply was im- proved, although it was by no means ade- quate. A line of hose was run to the power house and the well which supplies the boil- ers was utilized, but this soon gaye out. The fire raged the hottest in the rear por- tion of the hotel, and Chftf Parris directed his efforts to save the front building, see- ing it was useless to attempt to do’ any- thing with the burning portion. While the men were at work inside an éxplosion took The Old Gales Mansion. place, which unseated the roof and drove it down upon the firemen. There was a wild scramble to escape, and a section of hose had to be abandoned. Chief Parris and Assistant Chief Belt and the members of No. 6 Engine Company narrowly escaped. The fire continued {ts ravages despite the efforts of the firemen, and the complete new portion of the building was soon a n.ass of ruins. In the meantime the neigh- bors had opened their doors to the home- | Gniy 31, while Frates had to pay $10 in less guests and they were given accommo- dations for the night, while others took the cars and sought shelter in the hotels of the city. Narrow Escapes. It is wonderful how the white servant girls escaped. They occupied the upper story of the hotel and were almost the last pe-sons aroused. Fighting their way through the blinding smoke they made their way out of the building. Mary Ann Tinney and Nellie Fincler, however, were forced to | jump through a window to the piazza be- low. The building was owned by Commissioner Truesdell. It consisted of three buildings built on the colonial style of architecture. The hotel was originally the old Gales rransion, and was added to from time to time by the bullding of wings. It occupied @ commanding position in # beautiful grove, and accommodated about 150 guests. M->. W. A. MecKellip, the manager, lost co! siderable furniture, and many of the guests were unable to save a thing. It is estimated that the loss to the building and effects will amount to $75,000, which is partly cov- ered by insurance. Working at a Disadvantage. Chief Parris of the fire department, as he viewed the ruins, said to a Star reporter that neve>, in all of his experience, had he worked under such disadvantages at a fire. The absence of an adequate supply of wa- ter made the the work of the fire depart- ment almost useless. He was certain that if there had been a sufficient supply of wa- ter a larger portion of the building could have been saved. There was a delay in get- ting to the fire, he said, but that was due to the fact that no alarm was turned in, and {t was a long run for the nearest en- gine company. “This fire,” he said, “demonstrates the absolute necessity for’ better water sup- ply in this section of the city for the pro- tection of Hfe and property, and I have pointed out time and time again the neces- sity of a new fire company for this part of the District.” pression that the fire had originated in the Kitchen, and it was a great wonder to him that no lives had been lost. Col. Truesdell was at the District butld- ing this morning. He had not been to the scene of the fire. The hotel, he sald, was an episode that came under my own eyes recently. She was a small, wiry, nervous | woman, with an armful of parcels, and this | was the crowded 6 o'clock Harlem train. She sat at the extreme end of the last car, largely filled with the opposite sex. She! was gazing vacantly out of the window, possibly figuring up the day's purchases, | when the guard at the other end mur-) mured something. | The woman jumped as if she was shot | There were two) gentlemen standing balanced on canes and | talking of the state of the markets, and | she went through this first obstruction like a greased pig, upsetting about 340 pounds as easily as if she weighed 500 Instead of about ninety. She went through the stand- | ing crowd as the destructive cyclone goes | through a worm fence, scattering men and women indiscriminately. Behind her wag a wake of packages and disordered linen | and rumpled dresses and.svre toes and | soured tempers. When she reached the | door the guard slammed the gate, saying | that she would have to ride to the next station, which seemed to please the peopi¢ awful; “I don’t want to get off here.” she sald snappishly, “for it ain't my station, and | you sald it was!’ . | —- A Flor! ‘= Mistake. From the New York Times. There is a coolness among the teachers of a@ certain suburban school for which a blundering florist is responsible. Upon the ‘Geath of the mother of one of the young! women her co-workers were desirous of ex-! worth between $40,000 and $50,000, and in- sured for $20,000 in the Firemen’s Company |of Newark, ‘and four foreign companies. He sald he had no plans for the future. It is the belief of many that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and the police | have been notified, and are investigating | the matter. When a reporter of The Star asked Col. Truesdell what he thought the crigin of the fire was he shook his head. He did not believe it originated from the range, for that was bricked up all around. Among the guests were Representatives Dunn of New Jersey, Funk of NMinols, Me- Cleary of Minnesota, Outhwaite of Ohio and Wright of Nebraska, with their fam- ilies. The old Gales residence, which was a par He said he was of the im-} ‘ ! | dustry, TALKING ABOUT TUBERCULOSIS. Interested in the Disease of Ani- mals Continue im Session. The officials from various states whose duties are confined to the consideration of live stock and the best means to improve the condition of the horses and cattle of the country continued their convention to- day in the seed room of the Agricultural Department. Messrs. T. J. Turner, Charies P.. Lyman and M. Stalky, who were ap- pointed a committee on permanent organi- gation, reported In favor of the formation of a national live stock sanitary association, which should have for its object the secur- ing of uniform laws and regulations by the various statés to prevent the spread of dis- ease among cattle, and specially those mal- adies which are possible of transmission from animals to mankind. The report sug- gested that a new association should be | organized at once by the election of officers and that its membership Should be compo: ed of members from the various state liv siock and sanitary boards, state veterin: rians and other state officials having con- trol of the subject of diseases in live stock, and the representative of the bureau of antmal industry in the Agricultural Depart- ment. It was also recommended that a committee of five be appointed to draft a consutution and by-laws, and the report was adopted. After the transaction of other minor busi- ness, Dr. J. H. Kellogg of Battle Creek, read a lengihy and exhaustive pa. taberculosis, and the relation of the disease in the milk and flesh of animals to the sume malady in human beings. Dr. Kellogg's paper was listened to with close | attention, as it epitomized the results of all the experiments that have been conducted upon the subject of tuberculosis, both in thls and foreign countries, He showed that | the unanimous opinion of medical men was that it was positively dangerous for a hu- man being to partake of either the milk or flesh of a tuberculous animal. At its con- clusion the address was discussed by sev- eral of the gentlemen present, including Dr. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal in- wh> pointed out the necessity of compensating owners of cattle for the loss | Sustained in the killing of their animals it they are found to be afflicted with tubercu- losis. He said that if a system,of compen- sation 1s adopted, dairymen and farm- ers would quickly report afflicted animals im) their’ possession, whereas if their loss 448, duial they would endeavor to keep the | Sgpditions of their animals secret. The convention will probably terminate its ses- sions tomorrow. —___ Used a Rock. On the Rock Creek Church road just a short distance beyond the Soldiers’ Home cemetery is a small village called “Rupli- ville,” and in the small houses there some of the old soldiers reside. It is not an in- frequent occurrence for some of the old soldiers to be teen about this little village under the influence of liquor, and more especially is such the case @on after pen- sion day. The 4th of this month was pen- sion day, and since then some of the old pensioners and those who hang about to Set what they can from the pensioners have succeeded in getting intoxicants in the “mile limit.” Cornelius Donovan and William H. Frates, two of the pensioners, were about the village yesterday under the influence of liquor, but whether they got their in- toxicating beverages in alleged “‘speak- easies” in the county or not, is not known by the police. But the men did have lquor enough in them to put them in a fighting mood. A large stone was used by Frates, with the result that his companton’s head had to undergo niedical treatment. Three stitches were put in a cut, and his eyes needed something to soothe the pain and remove the discoloration if possible. The discoloration, however, could not be re- moved, and this morning when he appeared | in court he presented a frightful appear- ante. But the appearance was worse than the actual damage to his head. Policeman Kopp arrested both men, and Judge Miller fined them. The injured man was fined order to keep out ot jail for a month, pala Carried a Razor. A colored man named Charles Wiison, who is not a barber by trade, had a razor in his pocket last evening and Policeman Wash.

Democrats Who Are Likely to Go Over to the Populists—Politics in the Tar Heel State. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., June 18, 1894. The republicans have taken the initiative in the campaign in North Carolina, their chairman, John B. Eaves, having issued an address. This is brief, but direct. In it he asserts that a revolution is in progress among the voters, and that the reaction is in favor of his party, the alleged cause be- ing the incapacity cf the democrats to gov- ern the nation. He says the position of his | INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

He | urges North Carolina republicans to follow | boldly and fearlessly. He declares that no other Ine will lead to success. In 1892 the party followed this line. Then a new de- parture was attempted, in the shape of fusion with populists, but this was not wade. Chairman Eaves declares that to- day the republican party stands on higher ground in North Carolina than in any other southern state. He fufther asserts that in other southern states in which doubtful tactics have been adopted the party has disintegrated, and that the only way to keep the party organization intact, attract the opposition is to make an honest, bold fight on party principles. He sums this up by saying: “A straight republican state ticket is the test of loyalty which all true republicans weleome and insist upon, and anyth@g short of that will not meet their Just «Bectations.” Concerning local politics Chairman Eaves advisds immediate and thorough organiza- tion in all the districts and counties on a straight republican basis, and advises that all republican districts and counties nom- inate true republicans, but in counties and districts where the democratic majority is overwhelming and the republicans think in the wake of national republicanism; | enunciate the principles of the party in| their state platform, nominate a straight | republican state ticket and fight for it new adherents or command the respect of | a Sesteks ELLA weotaSstatiness -Page Page -Page -Page -Page -Page Page Page - Page -Poge Page 1 -Page 10 . n = Page 8 —--Page 10 -o- Page ~-Page 12 ---- Page 12 Page 12 Page 18 WANTED Geip) ‘Page 10 WANTED (Houses).

The Democratic Convention. The state democratic executive com- mittee has called its convention in this city August & The attendance of commit- sentatives of the party appeared to be in good spirits. One of them said he confi- dently expected as large ‘a majority this year as in 1892, The congressional convention of the dem- ocrats in this, the fourth, district will be held here August 15. The friends of Con- gressman B. H. Burn say he will be re- nominated. There are at~teast six demo- cratic aspirants for the nomination. Richmond Pearson last week began his campaign for Congress in the ninth dis- trict. He announces himseif as the nomi- nee of the republicans and populists. He has written a letter to the alliance men, in which he declares that the purpose of his campaign ia to secure the election in that district of state senators and members of the lower house who will vote for one pop- ulist_ and one republican for the United States Senate. There now appears to be no doubt that George H. White, colored, will be the re- publican congressional nominee in the sec- ond district. He is at present solicitor of that judicial district. Several counties have indorsed him for Congress. H. P. Cheatham, colored, is his opponent for the nomination. The convention will be held at Weldon June 27. y. H. Bower, democratic Congressman from the eighth district, will be w candi- date for renomination. It is quite posi- tively said that the republicans will put up Spencer Blackburn of Ashe county against im. The Populist Campaign. The two leading populist speakers, Harry Skinner and W. H. Kitchen, are now mak- ing a tour of the state, speaking several times a week. Their campaign, if so it can be termed, is one of the que2rest po- litical features of the year, Ex-Congress- man Kitchen ts a very recent convert; in fact, It has not been two months since he took the plunge from democracy into pop- ulism. In his speeches he asserts that he still holds the principles of "he democratic party, and in one speech he said he could “not stomach the vagaries of the populists, such as the government ownership of rail- ways and the subtreasury scheme.” As to the silver question, the populists and the great mass of the southern democrats are on a line, and so, Mr. Kitchen says in a speech, “the rank and file of the southern democrats are right. Most of our southern Congressmen are right.” Mr. Kitchen abuses Cleveland with great heartiness, and denounces what he terms “Cleveland democra: He also abuses the republt- can party, and declares that, save in the north, no gentlemen are members of it. His speeches are certainly not of a char- acter to catch republican votes. Skirner Was always an ornate speaker, and is now more so than ever. His speeches are “glit- teying generalities,” and, to use a North c lina phrase, he talks “over the heads of the crowd.” Democrats Going Over. ‘Two years ago not a few of the demo- cratic speakers said that if their party did not redeem its pledges in regard to silver, &c., they would join the populists. Marion Butler, a leading populist and also the pres- ident of the National Farmers’ Alliance, took occasion to say, in introducing Mr. Kitchen, that the latter was the one prom- iment democrat who had redeemed this pledge. Kitchen is a vehement speaker, but many of the populists say they regard Skin- ner as the head and front of their move- ment. Leading democrats now certainly | recognize in the movement Skinner ts lead- ing as much of a condition as a theory. In only. one county in the state has there beeen a political mass meeting this year. That county is Halifax. Once the center of the most fiery democracy and unswerving loyalty to Mr. Cleveland, it now has some bitter speakers against him. His friends © staunch, however, and faced the storm at the meeting. Resolutions were introduced condemning Mr. Cleveland and his adminis- tration and declaring that the state plat- form shall override the national one. One speaker, a lawyer and editor, said, in sup- port of the resolutions (and perhaps his complaint and charges may be said to state brietty those of all the anti-Cleveland demo- crats): “It is no pleasure for me to call attention to the fact that the President has failed to keep his pledges made to the peo- ple, and every democratic paper in the country is condemning him as we have con- demned him here today. I believe in speak- ing what we feel and in resorting to no sub- terfuge. It is impossible to deceive the white men of North Carolina. The last democratic convention in this state incor- porated in its platform the free-coinage-of- silver plank. Mr. Cleveland denounced the | seigniorage bill and refused to sign it. Here is the case in a nutshell—is Cleveland greater than his party? I declare he has done more to break down and disrupt the democratic party than all other influences sag aé A Cleveland democrat who was presen took up the cudgels and declared he wound declared the democrats here were trying to fight themselves and the men who made the platforms, thus proclaiming weakness to the world. Cleveland has given more southern men offices than any other President and had defeated many republican plans. The speaker declared that the meeting was wild in its ideas; that the people here had tried secession and the republicans came in, got the negfo and everything else, and that if democrats now fought thelr own party the republicans would come into power again.
