ENGLAND IS NOW ON TRIAL Her COolonies Wonld Be Helpless in the Event of War, LIBERIAN COLONISTS TELL A WOEFUL TALE aken to the African Coast by an Inglish Colonization Company, Are Abandoned Without Menus of Subsistemce. Copyrighted, 1895, by the Assoclated Press.) LONDON, Sept. 7.—The past week has been the hottest experienced in London In several years. This fact has made members of Par- liament particularly glad that prorogation permits them to leave for the country. American tourists continue to flock to London in large numbers, homeward bound. These constitute almost wholly the translent popu- lation of London at present. The correspondence between the Imperial Federation committee and the ministers of state, which was published today, indicates that the colonies of Great Britain may be called upon to contribute toward the cost of maintaifing the imperial navy and in return be offered a proportionate share in its con- trol. The Lmperial Federation committee urges that this arrangement would lighten the burden of the British taxpayer and at the same time advance the cause of tmperial unity. The utterances of colonial statesmen, including Sir Jules Vogel, formerly prime minister of New Zealand, are cited to show that they support the movement. The mar- quis of Salisbury polnted out fo the mem- bors of the committeo that there were fatal visks attending a_divided control of naval affairs, but the duke of Devoushire, lord president of the council, the marquis of Lans- downe, secretary of state for war, and Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colones, all promised that the proposal should have their careful attention. In this connection the Globe this atterncon says that the British empire may be truly sald to be on Its trial. The anomaly of the present position has forced the question whether the result is satisfactory and whether We can go on much longer without a radical change. None of our colonies, the Globo ®ays, can regard themselves safe from hostile attacks. In the case of war between England and America, Canada might be ex- pected to be invaded, and self-protection of any of the colonies against any one of the great powers is so manifestly out of the ques- tion that the colonies wonld be thrown back upon the imperial navy. The colonial govern- ments, the Globe adds, do not hesitate even now (o claim the services of the queen's ships whenever they are needed. It seems incredible, the Globe concludes, that there #hould be any doubt as to the obligations of the colonial taxpayers. EXIT NAZRULLA KHAN, It 18 announced that Shazada Nazrulla Khan, second son of the ameer of Afghanis- tan, who left London on Thursday after a sojourn here of four months as the guest of the nation, will make a pilgrimage to Mecea, afier which he will return to Cabul by the way of St. Petersburg, New York and San Franclico. England l¢ relleved at seelng the last of the shazada, but for all that the Oriental prince was bidden farewell in great style. The queen sent the state carriage to convey him to the station, troops lined the route, and he orted by a guard of honor. The parting gifts were very generous. freely handsome presents to high persondges and officials with whom he came in contact, and which are sald to have cost him more than $50,000. The servants of Dorchester house, where he was domietled, vecelved more than $5,000. Among the things which Nazrulla has taken with him, and which will form an in- teresting exhibit to be laid before his august father, the ameer of Afghanistan, is a scrap book contalning caricatures of himself which were printed In the comic papers of England, & sewing and cutting machine, & bicycle, & lemon squeezer, an egg beater and a toy elec- tric rallway. He also had a little electric glow lamp fitted in a turban, the current fos which can be turned on and off at pleasure. A new kind of royal “slumming” was started during the past week. It consisted of visits to the hop fields, where the roughest characters of London are in the habit of spending the month of September as hop pickers. On Thursday the duchess of Albany, widow of Queen Victoria’s youngest son, ac companied by her children and members of.a house party stopping near Aldershot, visited the hop gardens at Crandall. They remained among the hop pickers two hours, all of the party picking hops and talking with the hoppers. TALE® OF WOE FROM LIBERIA. A. E. Burnett and H. Jumper, American negroes, havé arrived at Southampton by the steamer Tagar, with a mournful story of the fate of a party of negro colonists with whom they left Savanpah, Ga., on the 19th of March, on board the steamer Henga for Li- berfa. Of the 211 who comprised the com- pany, only two secured work in Monrovia. Haif the entire number died of fever, aggra- vated by privation. The remainder, except- ing a few who were t0o 1l to travel, made thelr way toward the coast in the vain hope of finding means of returning to America. The International Emigration soclety of Birm- fngham, which organized the colony and un- dertook to furnish its members with three months’ rations after the colony landed, Bur- nett says, falled to fulfill its promise, but dumped the colonists on the coast and left them to perish. Burnett had sufficient money with him to pay his passage to England and sist his comrade, who had been stricken with fever. Both men are naw destitute. They #ay that If ever they are able to get back to America they will enlighten their unhappy race there on the subject of African colenization schemes. SOCIAL AND PERSONAL GOSSIP. C. B. Frye, the famous Oxford athlete, who was one of the team against which the Yale athletes competed in England, has been elected to an amateurship in Eton. James E. Nell, consul at Liverpool, who managed the democratic campaign in Oblo when Campbell was elected governor, has made arrangements to go home for a fort- night and take part in the state campalgn. New plays, which are promised London theater-goers this season, are for the most part to be tried experimentally upon the provinces before they will be seen here. Thus Mr. Beerbohm Tree's version of “Tril- by" will be first produced either at Birming- ham or Manchester. A new play by Mr. H: V. Hammond, en- titled “Bogey,” will open Mr. Elliot's brief season at the St. James on Monday next. “The Fatal Card,” by Haddon Chambers, has concluded a successful run at the Porte St. Martin theater, Paris, and will now be played In the smaller French cities and In Belglum. Minnie Palmer will begin a twenty-weeks season In the United States soon after Christ- mas with her new play “The School Girl.” Nellie Farren will soon assume managerial cares, a burlesque of “Trilby" forming the second part of her opening program. Vietor Maurel has been approiched with an offer for a season of twenty song recitals in_America. J. P. Alpuente, who is negotiating with the great French singer, has engaged Cecil Barn- ard for a series of soclety entertainments in America during the first quarter of 1896. —_— Kelr Hardie Waves the Red Flag. CHICAGO, Sept. 7.—Kelr Hardle, the English socialist, addressed an audience last night in Tweltth Street Turner hall. He urged his hearers to follow the sociallst dectrines, but condemned anarehy as & thing separate and apart from soclalism proper. He urged that the red flag be used and sald: “It a dozen staunch Chieagoans should fly the red banner—raise the standard and stand by ft—it is my belief that all worth having in this city would fiock arowsd . In other parts of his speech he vigorcusly charged his audience to follow the red flag.” ;s Pt o 0 Cleaned His Clothes with Gasoline. MILWAUKER, Sept. 7.—Henry Doughty of the Marlowe-Tabor company was palnfully burned at the Atlas hotel. Mr. Doughty was cleaning his-clothes in his room, using gaso- line for the purpose, and a spark from his pipe caused an explosion that set the room on fire. Mr. Doughty 1s unable to play, but his injuries are uot dangerous. SAYS FRAKER WAS A SNEAK. Some of the Peculiar Incldents in ¥in . Enrlier Cnreer Recalled. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 7.—Dr. W. C. Me- Leod, a well known physician of this city, knows some chapters of Swindler Fraker's life that have not yet appeared In print. He sald today: *Fraker always was a shrewd, mean fellow. I knew him when he was a young man. He began to practice without a diploma in Triplett, Mo. This was law-break- ing, but he was never arrested for it. Before 16ng he turned drugglst. His store was really an unlicensed liquor shop. He was arrested for the offense, and his business was broken up. He married and moved to Excelstor Springs, a watering place seventy miles away. His wife was a good, respectable girl. Two years later she was home on a visit, when her clothes and all her little belongings un- expectedly made thelr appearance and with them a message from Fraker that sho need never come back. He declared that she was too jealous and that he was done with her. His ‘wife loved him very much. She wanted a reconciliation. At last she gave it up and applied for a divorce, and some time after married her second husband. “Fraker seemed to get into all sorts of little scrapes. He would do some mean thing and sink low in every one's estimation, but always managed to get back Into the town's good graces again. He did get a medical diploma at last, “I belleve he never married agiin. His father and mother died when he was a littlo boy and he was brought up by an uncle, but was thrown on his own resources early in life and drifted by slow degrees from little things to worse ones. s g No Recelver for the Southern Pacific. NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—The report that the Southern Pacific railroad is about to go into the hands of a receiver has been circulated in Wall street, but C. P. Huntington said today: ““The report is too absurd to dignify with a denial, The Southern Pacific Rali- way company is one of the best corporations in "America.” To be sure the earnings are not as good they might be, but prices ought not to be cut down. Over $12,000,000 has been spent on permanent improvements betweén San Franclsco and New Orleans.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The official steam trial of tho battleship Texas has been set for the 12th inst. The test will consist of a run of four hours out to sea and while the trial will not be a test of speed, it Is understood that the ship will be expected to approximate her best work on this occasion. The con- tract calls for 8,600-horse power. It provides for a premium of $100 for each additional horse power attained and for the forfeiture of $100 for each power less than 8,600 devel- oped down to 7,650, below which if it goes the machinery is not to be accepted. At the dock trial the vessel showed 6,707 horse power, e r— Serious Fire in a Lumber Town. ESCANABA, Mich., Sept. 7.—A report from Hermansville, Mich., says that the large plant of the Wisconsin Land and Lumber company is In danger of destruction, fire having con- sumed the large pine lumber piles and is now working toward the hardwood lumber factory nd “Soo” line depot.

The steel cell keys MASONIC TEMPLE A WRECK Expensive Regalia of the Lodges Entirely Consumed by the Flames, LIBRARY AND RELICS WERE SAVED Error in Sending in the Alarm Causes a Delay Which Was Costly—Loss Estimated All the Way from $130,000 to #400,000. BOSTON, Sept. 7.—Masonlc Temple, which last week was resplendent with decorations on the occasion of the Knights Templar conclave, is today the scene of desolation and destruction wrought by fire, which was discovered shortly after 10 o'clock this morn- ing and which gutted the two upper stories. Owing to an accident, a false alarm wi rung in from the Parker house and a delay of nearly twenty minutes occurred before the department was ready to work at the Masonic Temple. The fire, In the meantime, had gained a considerable headway. The fire was first discovered in the anterooms of the Re- vere lodge on the third floor and in a short time had eaten its way to the fourth floor and from thence to the rcof. Chief Webber ordered a second alarm and shortly after- ward a third alarm was rung in. From that time the department strained every nerve to keep the fire from spreading. District Chief Regan, while directing the efforts of his men from the tower, nearly twenty feet above the roof, was suddenly obliged to fly for his lite from the smoke and flames. He scram- bled down and sought safety along a narrow ledge four inches wide. After an hour and a halt the fire was under control. The third and fourth floors and the roof were gutted whilo on the second floor the fire had scorched. a number of rooms in the rear. The loss is estimated at from $150,000 to $400,000, but mno reliable esti- mato can be obtained until after the under- writers have done their work. All of the regalia of the Scottish rites, one of the most expensive outfits in the Masonic order, was destroyed and the Gothic hall, Egyptian hall and Red rooms, with their valuable tapes- tries and furnishings, were ruined. A num- ber of valuable paintings were saved. There are twenty-aix lodges and commanderies which meet in the temple and all of them will sus- tain some loss. The Boston commandery has a blanket insurance of ,000 on its regalias and uniforms and it {s thought the others are covered in a like manner, Several accidents occurred during the fire, District Chief Regan was carried by the fall- ing roof thirty feet, sustaining a broken leg and injuries {0 his head and severe internal injurles. Lieutenant Madden's skull was fractured, he being struck by a broken pipe from his _engine.

WILL Free Silver Bland Predicts a Bolt in the t Campnign KANSAS CITY, Sept. 7.—Ex-Congressman Bland was here today. He was asked: ‘“In case the democratic national convention re- fuses to adopt a free silver platform, what will be the result?” “There will be a divislon between the eastern and western democrats. It fs, it seems to me, inevitable anyway. The party is inharmonious. 1Its former leaders are one way and the party is the other. War issues, the tarift and other things have kept the party together heretofore, but they are being lost sight of. No one can tell the outcome, “Apparently the republicans are not {o- gether. They are afraid of the silver issue and are doing all they can to keep it quiet. The only thing the silver democrats can do now is keep organizing. If there should be another bond issue before long it would have a great effect. It was the issue of the last $62,000,000 that set the people to thinking. The eastern capitalists know this and they wlll try to prevent another one if possible,” “Isn’t a compromise possible?"”" “They tried it in Kentucky. They put up a free silver candidate there on a gold standard platform. What is the result? Why, they are in worse shape than they were before the convention.” —~——— Atflanta Preparing for the Crowds.

What is Expecte Testimony trom Them. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7.—The trial of Theodore Durrant will be resumed on Tues- day, Monday belug a state holiday. During the past week little progress was made in the taking of testimony. None of the really. important witnesses for the people have been placed on the stand, and no materlal polnts have yet been made against the dee fendant. The witnesses who have already testified are merely paving the way for thoso to follow. While their evidence I8 important in showing that the crime has been come mitted, it does not point iu the remotest degreo’ to the murderer. It becomes more ind more apparent that the defense will be negative, More hope will be placed in break- ing the chain of evidence presented by the prosecution than In any testimony he may give In his own behalf. As yet the defendant's attorneys have not been successful in their efforts to confuse witnesses and lead them into contradictions. The real welghty evidence upon which the prosecution depends 1s to be furnished by three school girls who saw Durrant on the street car with Miss Lamont on the day she disappeared; Martin Quinlan, an attor- ey, who saw the defendant walking toward Emanuel church at about 4 o'clock with a girl who answers Blanche Lamont's description; Mrs, Leak, who from her house opposite the Emanuel church observed Durrant and Miss Lamont walk fnto the church through a side door; and Organist King, who about § o'clock on the same afternoon was surprised to ses Durrant stagger into the library of the church, panting, partially clothed and dishevelad. ‘It Is these witnesses who will furnish the chief links in the chain of evi- dence upon which a conviction will be asked and it will be the testimony which the de- fendants will attack with vigor. If the defense succeeds in breaking down one of the witnesses ‘hey consider they will have a fair chance for acquittal. The proses cution, they say, will have to provide every one of the links in its chain of circumstantial evidence, e of ministerial representation to the general corference.
