BELGIUM SOCIALI STS RIOTOUS, Celebrating Election Victories by Storming a Catholle Club Hoose. BRUSSELS, Oct. 16.—In the elections for Parllament the moderate liberals have lost about thirty-one seats, mostly to the soclal- Ists. The Catholics have lost seven seats, five to the liberals and two to the socialists. Owing to the number of reballots necessary, it Is impossible to predict the exact composi- tion of the new Chamber. Several prominent socinlist leaders have been elected. The soclalists held a demonstration here today to celebrate their success in the elec- tions. Thousands of members of the soclal- ist party paraded the principal streets of the city singing the “Marselllaise.”” There was no disorder.

E FRAY AGAIN. READY FOR T Chinese Fleot Repatred and Fully Provided with Ammunition. LONDON, Oct. 15.—Dispatches Times from Tien-Tsin, which will lished tomorrow, say that the Pel-Yang squadron has been able to leave the dock completely refitted with magazines filled and otherwise fitted for active service. An imperial edict has been published at Peking assuming for the government full responsibility for the protection of the for- eign residents and punishing certain culprits shown to have taken part in the recent as saults upon travelers. The edict assures strangers that their persons and property will be protected, and its wording especially to the be pub- favors the missionaries. The whole tone of the edict is highly satisfactory. The Chinese overtures for peace having been rejected without a hearing, the war now enters upon a chronic stage, demanding an appeal to the latent forces of the empire. The latter are described as beiug quite great, but it is added they require time in order 1o organizs them. Ths Chinese government is prepared, though reluctant to do so, to engage in a protracted conflict, The party in power recognizes the urgency of radical and fiscal reform. The question Is how long will the natural cohesion bear the strain of a great war; the danger ls, the corre- spondent adds, that a revolution may be tollowed by prolonged anarchy TROUBLE WILL LIKELY RESUL Death of the Ameer Will Witness the He- ginning of Clvil Strife. LONDON, Oct. 15.—General Lord Robert Kendahr, V. C., formerly commander-in-chiet of the British army in India, was interviewed today by a reporter of the Assoclated press in regard to the lllness of the ameer of Afghanistan. Lord Kendahr said: ‘‘Should the question of succession arise, there will certainly be serious trouble at Caboul be- tween the opvosing parties, one favoring the succession of the elder son, Sardar Habi- Bula-Khan, the child of a wife of low rank, who has already held a sort of power at Caboul. The second party supports the younger royal wife in the interest of her son, Who s a child. Upon a former occasion, when the ameer's death was expected, this queeen mother made preparations to seize the treasury and gain the adhesion of the army. . “If the ameer dies Europeans at Caboul will be in danger from the fanatical attitude of ths Afghanistans, which is only suppressed through the personal Influence of the ameer, “The situation will cause the greatest anxiety to the government of India. The summoning of a special couneil is a very un- usuval procecding, and it is evident that the earl of Blgin considers the situation to be grave.” TROUBLESOME CHIEFTAIN YIELDS, Germans QOcoupy the Stronghold of an Afriean Enemy.

Great Composer the Recipient of Many Presents from the States, ALL VIENNA CONTRISUTES TOHS PRAIS Enthusinstio Scene When the Musleal Genlus Addresses the Crowd at His Reception and Modestly Mentions Some of His Accomplishments, VIENNA, Oct. 16.—Rudolph Aronson of New York congratulated Johann Strauss last evening and on behalf of the distinguished | composer's American admirers in a short, sympathetic speech presented ‘“The Waltz King” with a handsome wreath, sent to the latter by his admirers In the United States, | The reception and presentations today took place in Herr Strauss' house in Sgelasz in the Weiden. As the guests entered all the tables, sideboards and other species of fur- niture were covered with costly presents from all quarters of the globe. Herr Strauss and his wife and his brother Edourd, grected the distinguished company. Among those attending the reception were Herr Johannes Brahames, the composer; Baron Bezechny, Hofrath von Doeszt, Hof- rath Hadslick, Prof. Helmsberger and Prof. Deininger and Rudolph Aronson of N York. The actual ceremony of the celebra- tion began with a serenade composed by Robert Fuchs and sung by students who were accompanied by the conservatorium or- chestra Then followed the presentation of a little silver table of choice design ornamented with gold. After this a gold medal from the members of the celebration committee was presented to Herr Strauss, Baron Bezechny made a speech, In which he sald: “Though Strauss may belong to the world, he belongs to us before all. We Vienne will not allow our Strauss to be taken from May he live long and yet make man- kind happy with his paradise melodies.” At 10:45 Burgomaster Gruble arrived from the Rathes house. The crowd was then so dense that he found it difficult to reach a position beside the waltz king. After he reached Herr Strauss, the burgomaster sald “I am instructed by the town council to greet you in the names of your vaterstadt, to whose illustrious sons you belong. All Vienna joins in these celebrations. All Vi- ennese without exception are delighted that you are able thus to participate. May you be spared long to the joy and pride of your vaterstadts.” Two other addresses were made by the spokesman of a deputation of the Vienna press and presented by Government Counsclor Winternette, Dr. Von Spigel, Dr. Gustay Kohn, and a deputation of the Wienne Mannergesang verein. Then Herr Strauss, his voice displaying intense emotion, said: “I am not a speaker. For all these splendid pre 1 ful to my predecessors, my fathe ner. They showed me in what way progre: was possible through the development of the form; that is-my single insignia of merits.” (Cries of “No.") Herr Strauss paused for a moment and then continued, saying: *‘My efforts have been feeble attempts t8 im- prove the gifts which I inherited. I have been extra fortunate, but I feel that i have been too greatly honored. (Cries of '“‘No. No.") Indeed, you give me over-honor." Herr Strauss hesitated at this point, placed his hand upon his forehead and mut- tured, “Es ist schon genug," and then sat down. His friends enthusiastically clam- ored for the privilege of shaking hands with him. Among the congratulatory messages that were recelved from all over the world and from all sorts of people, was one from the duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, himselt a mu- siclan, who said: “I also send hearty con- gratulations and sincere admiration for your musical merits.”” Count Edward Taafe, formerly Austrian prime minister, also sent a message, say- ing: ‘“The best jubilee wishes from one who knew your father and estéems you as a brother.” The festivities closed with a banquet, which was attended by the burgomaster, all the men of music and letters and a num- ber of forelgners. — SHOT WHILE ESCAPING. Two Coloradoans Charged with Robbery Wounded by an Officer. COLORADO SPRINGS, Oct. 15.—James Cannon and Thomas Short, Bull Hill miners, arrested yesterday on a charge of having robbed a Victor gambling hall ‘Saturday morning, attempted to escape from the officers wiho were bringing them to jail last night at Divide. Deputy Sterling shot both, killing Cannon and dangerously wounding Short. It is believid the men were innocent of the crime with which they were charged, as many miners will testify that both men were attending a ball at the time when the robbery was committed. Cannon was about 28 years old, His mother lives in Dubuque, Towa, The coroner's jury exonerated Deputy Sherift K. C. Sterling, who shot and killed James Cannon. Steriing said his reason for removing the prisoners so hastily from Cripple Creek was that he feared an attempt at rescue would be made. His testimony concerning the shooting was as follows “We drove from Cripple Creek to Divide and were putting our horses In a livery stable. My two guards brought in the guns and leaned them up against the wall. The prisoners grabbed both guns and leveled them at me. One sald ‘hold up your hands' and the other said ‘hand over the keys or we wili fix you.' | “I advanced and put one of my arms, around each gun and called for the guards Then one of the prisoners drew a revolver from my belt and hit me over the head with it. I saw they were getting the best of me 50 1 wrenohed one of the guns from the | prisoners and said: 'L am shot,” and managed | to get out of the door. Both the prisoners | ran ouf and while going took a shot at me. | They ran to the railroad tracks, where there was a large pile of ties, [ shot threa times and told them to come to me. They said they would give up, 50 I went to them. Can- non was lying across the track dying, Short was badly wounded.” Short, who was shot in the leg and is weak from loss of lood, confirmed the deputy’s testimony. Short says Cannon and | he had nothing to do with the robbery and | they etermined to try to get away rather | than be locked up in the Colorado Springs | Jail, where many miners have been detained for ‘months without trial Bull Hill miners are much excited the affair as they claim Cannon and over Short had committed no erime. - SAVED DIrLoOva ROUBLE, Amerle: Cltizen Dies # Russian Vrison Before a Protest Could Ve ¥lled, BALTIMORE, Oct. 15.—A cablegram re- celved today states that Stanislaus Krz- minski, the naturalized American whose ¢ the State department has under | consideration, died In prison at Warsaw Russia, Saturday A few months 8O Krzminski visited Russia (o see his family | and upon arrival was arrested and placed in prison.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 36.—~The investiga- tion of the Aquia Creek egpress robbery has reached a point where all officials are very reticent as to the measures taken for the capture of the robbers. Ji Q. A. Herring, head of the Philadelphia division of the Adams Express company, has been at the office here receiving reports that are coming in from the detectives who have been following the varfous clews on which the company Is working. Some erlticism has been made agalnst the rewards offered as being very small and the fact that the express com- pany, which is the heaviest loser, has offered no reward at all for the apprehension of the robbers. This is explained by the state- ment of the police authorities that the ex- press company doubtless has employed Pin- kerton detectives and that the Pinkertons operate as a firm of attgrneys, getting a retainer and regular fees for work done. Yesterday several Washington detect followed up what they thought was a clew They went down the rivet and examined a large sail boat moored above Mount Vernon. This boat had been used by a gang of men who have been seen more of less in this vicin- ity, and some of whom, it |s sald, were con- victs. ~ The apparent leader wag familiar with the country where the robbery occurred and also with the railroad. The boat found was practically abandoned, but there was nothing about it that indicated it had been used during the recent robbery, except that there was a shot sun stowed away in it. Inspector Hollingberger, who examined the boat, said that there is nothing in the clew that could be pursued further. The men who owned the boat have mot been near it, but have not left the country. It is Lieuten- ant Hollingberger's theory that this boat was merely to connect with another in the river, which ecarried away the train robbers. It is understood that Pinkerton men are watching both sides of the river and points along Chesapeake bay where the robbers might land. ~ Police authorities hera do not take any stock in the wlleged theory that George Carter, a crook with a well known police record, has had anything to do with the robbery, because he is 50 well known that trainmen, and nearly any other citizen living along the rallroad, would have been almost sure to have recognized him. It is belicved the train robbers, &fter the robbery, made efforts to get on the water and mingle with the emall craft in the bay, and thus be- come practically lost to pursuit until the affair quieted down. The Washington de- tectives express confidence that ultimately the men will be caught. Nothing can be learned here as to the exact amount of the loss. The expre:s officials say that from what can be learned that only the general office at New Yark, where all reports are reccived from the points where money was sent by the car ¥hieh was robbed, can tell. o——Y V1 ROBRED THE EXPRESS AGENT. Ofice at The Dalies, Ore, Toached for Fourteon Thousand Dollnrs. THE DALLIS, Ore., Oct 15-~The Pacific express office here was' robbed of $14,000 early yesterday morning. The money was shipped from Portland, gniithe regular Oregon Rajlway and Na n overland train, which arrives here ft-11 ps-m.«For some time: the banks Here have been obliged to obtain large sums of silver from Portland to pay the fishermen and farm hands, The robbers evidently knew this fact and made thelt plahs accordingly. Agent F. N, Hill, after hauling the strong box from the train to the office, went home and did not retufn until shortly after mid- night. When he returned he found the contents of the box gone, with the excep- tion of $1,000. The authorities were notified at cnce and the matter kept secret. De- tectives are here from Portiand, watching every avcnue of escape. The most plaus- ible “theory advanced {s that the robbers secreted themselves in theé back room of the express bffice and walited for the agent to 1 the building, as no doors or locks were forced open. They must have known also that the express messenger, who sleeps in the office, was awdy attending to the in a stable near by, robbers, being unable to carry all . left $1,000 of the coin, onsigned to French' & Co,, in the boy Ladd & Tilton of Portland shipped $10,000—§7,500 in gold and $2,500 in silver, corfslgnéd (o French & Co.

TWO BOYS FRIGH . Explosion of a Box of Giant Powder Cops the Cause, .4, UTILATED, MOKULUMNE HILL, ;Cal, Oct. 15.- George and James Lipp, aged 19 and 17 years respectively, were horribly mutilated and probably fatally injured today by the explosion of a box of glant powder caps. It Is not known how the accident occurred, but a man named Gold saw the boys coming down the road locked arm in arm, stagger- ing from side to side, and uttering fearful shricks. At first he thought they were drunk, but on their approach discovered their horrible condition. The left hand of James was torn to shreds, necessitating amputation, His eyesight was destroyed and his head, face and the upper part of his Ludy filled with fragments of metal from cap shells and the metal box in which they were ned. George was mangled about the head, one eye was gone, and he will lose the kight of the other. The first and second fingers and thumb of the left hand were shot off. James' hand was found hear the place, still holding ‘a hulf-burned cigar- ette. It is supposed “that' the boys found the box of caps near the road, and while examining the contents*a spark from the cigarette caused the explosion.

Hill and Oleveland Elements in New York Hold a Mass Meeting, BOURKE COCKRAN ON PROTECTION Declares that the Republlcan Party s Re- sponsible for All Evil Conditions In the Republic and Free Traders for All Good. ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 15.—The joint mass meeting held tonight by Hill and Cleveland | factions was a most enthusiastic jollification | Governor Flower was put down for the main speech, speaking in substance as follows “Fellow democrats: This Is a time when democrats should stand up and be counted, | and it 1 do not mistake, the feeling of the rank and file is that they are in line for bat- tle.” The governor warmly commended Senator Hill as a statesman and a democrat. Con- tinuing, he said: “This is a death struggle with the party Which gave us the McKinley bill in 1890, Those who inflicted our present evils upon us now ask restoration to power when the country is just getting over the drunken de- bauch In which they left it. Our country is getting over its depression and in anoth " year we will be prosperous as a nation and on a basis that will be enduring. There is not a line in the Sherman silver law writ- ten in your interest, because any law which tends to make the currency of the country unstable is not in the interest of labor or capital, but to the hurt of both, “We have revised the tariff and there is rot a line in it which should reduce the wages of workingmen 1 cent lower than they were In 1892, SPEAKS FOR GROVER'S WORK.

Tonight I stand re give an account of the manner in which the administration of Cleveland has di charged Its stewardship. I believe men can- not be deceived, that they can discern be- tween right and wrong, between a system of legislation which is for the good of the com- mon people and of that which degrades them. I? the bad times which have over- taken us be the outcome of twenty-four years of republican misrule, I believe the people will be able to trace the evil to its source The democratic party has been bending for two years over the prostrate form of Amer- fcan industry. My friend Reed will tell you tion of dy to otherwise, but will people believe him or them? No; thelr common sense tells them better. We are a nation with flelds as fer- tile and mines as rich as they were thirty years ago, vet our mills are stopped, our factorles closed. Why these hard times? If they come mnot from God, they came from man. Why, my. iriends, this panic could not be caused by any legislation which could be cnacted in one or two years. No, the legis lation which caused this was the outgrowth of twenty odd years' rule of the republican varty. PLEADS FOR ANOTHER CHANCE, “The commerce of the nation is commerce of the individual. For the years of its rule the republican party has adyocated a system of protection, This combined with a debased . currency, is the powerful factor which has “Brought us our elosed factories, unemployed thousands, our hard times. If any man can show me how protection pro- teets the working man, T will be the greatest of protectionists, What we want is a supply which will fill the demands which are com- patible with the economical prosperity of our government. So-called protection does not give this. We must have a free circua- tion of money. You have noticed that when- ever the slightest uncertainty has attached itsell to the currency of a country paralysis resulted and when the banks and manufac- torles of this country were struggling through the dark cloud that hung over them the plundering republicans turned thelr backs to the treasury they had looted. Talk to me of protection! Protection from what? Protection from what? What country has our advantages, our people, our resources? What country is Germany secking protection from? What country does England scek protection from, if not this glant of the west? The causes of the strikes which have shaken this country have been attrib- uted to democratic rule. But what are the real causes, I not the base system of tariff taxation which the republicans originated” Our country is not developed to its fullest, and never will be under such a protective system of restriction. If the republicans should win this fall, they will show a prefer- ence for personal gratification rather than national prineiple. — They will show they would rather knock a a man down than set a nation up, Congressman Cockran was loudly ap- plauded at every point, and especially at the mention of the names of Cleveland, Flower and Hill, The applause was tumultuous when the speaker appealed for religious toleration.
