ST.LOUIS, Mo., March 8.—Disobedience of orders by the conductor and motorman of an eastbound caron the Clayton electric road this evening resulted in a collision about one mile west of Kirkwood, St. Louis County. Four were fatally injured, twenty- nine badly injured and about thirty re- ceived slight bruises. ITALY PRESSED FOR FUNDS. No Longer Able to Negotiate Loans With Her Neighbor—Attitude Toward America. BERLIN, GErMaNY, March 8.—It is be- lieved and, indeed, almost desired in offi- cial circles here that King Humbert will be unable to find an Italian statesman to form a Ministry who will be willing to con- struct a Cabinet on the basisof a continu- ance of the war in Abyssinia, and will, consequently, after an interregnum of a week, be obliged to recall Signor Crispi, who, after strengthening the Cabinet, will order General Baldissera to seize the first chance to ficht a successful pattle with the Shoans and then terminate the African campaign. In the course of current discussion in financial circles yesterday upon the possi- bility of Italy’s concluding a loan in Ger- many the report got abroad and became generally credited that this view has been commended to King Humbert by a per- sonage high in German official circles. In regard to the floating of such a loan, however, there is only one opinion. Ger- many already holds more than enough of Italian securities and nothing that Italy has to offer could induce the open opera- tion of a new Italian loan in Germany. ‘With a crushing national debt, her banks of issue practically insolvent and her rate of taxation at the maximum figure, the Italian Government, in order to obtain the sinews of war it needs must secure them through private arrangements outside of the ordinary principles upon which finan- cial houses work. There are still resources in Italy for which, if they were pledged, a loan syndicate could give the Government a substantial loan, but not otherwise. German financiers consider that the cor- ruption in the administration of the Ital- ian Government and the absolute corrup- tion prevailing in the civil service have been potent factors in the decline of the country, and that if any more German money goes to Italy it must have much better guarantees than the existing loans. Only within the last few days advices from Rome have reported it as probable that the Government would pay its foreign creditors in paper currency, which is now at a discount of 14 per cent. The Italian rentes and Italian railway securities, which have been thrown upon the market by general holders, have beer partly taken up on speculative account. As representatives of the official and popular views in Germany of the attitude of the United States housesof Congress in regard to Cuba, the expressions of the Vorwaerts, the principal Socialist organ, and the Cologne Gazette, the leading National Libera! organ, may be contrasted. The latter journal, affecting national im- partiality, accuses the Americans of pur- suing schemes of trade and conquest unaer the guise of a feeling for oppressed and suffering humanity. Spain, according to the Gazette, ought to repel the interven- tion of the United States between herself and the Cuban rebels upon lines similar to those upon which the United States re- jected the intervention of France and England in behalf of the secessionists of the Southern States of America. The Vorwaerts, on the other hand, holds that the vote of the United States Senate, favoring the recognition of the belligerent rights of the insurgents in Cuba, wasof such enormous moral import that Spain will henceforth be unable, by any possible successes in the field, to accomplish the subjugation of Cuba. This utterance of the Vorwaerts may n.ean to imply thata revolution in 8pain isamong the probabili- ties; but it must be accepted as referring to the reports now current of an alliance between France and Spain against the United States. The Vorwaerts adds: “SBuch an idea asa Franco-Spanish alli- ance against the United States is fantastic. The great Republic was founded with the aid of the French, who have ever since | Kirkwood was the accident known in the The fatally injured are: J. L. Jones, claim agent of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad; J. R. Aitken, motorman; James Smith, motorman; and Dick Lan- nigan, a passenger. The road was recently opened from St. Louis to Clayton, the county seat, and operates a single track from Kirkwood west to Clayton. Conductor Peasley and Motorman Aitken were coming east with about eighty passengers. They had or- ders to wait at 2 siding a mile west of Kirkwood for the westbound tramn, but kept straight on. Just at the jootofa steep down-grade curve they met the other car. Both were traveling twenty- five miles an hour and came together with a force that wrecked them. The west- bound car was hit with such a force as to drive it back on one truck 100 feet. t until a passenger had walked to city. Three ambulances and five doctors went to the scene. The badly injured were taken direct to the City Hospital, others were cared for by suburban resi- dents and some taken to their homes. BEATS D BOOMERMIGS Noted Men Brutally Assassin- ated by an Alleged News Bureau. Victims of the Chicago Associated Press Who Have Been Killed and Resuscitated. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 7.—The Chicago Associated Press on Friday and Saturday added something like a forty- candle power illumination to its already ultra-refulgent halo of glory by giving two thrilling beats to the heart of its clientele and incidentally two rankling disappoint- ments to the deluded readers of the jour- nals whose misfortune it is to have con- tracted relations with that concern. From London it was “rumored in Paris and Brussels that Premier Crispi had been assassinated.”” A dispatch from Toulon confirming this said that the Italian Pre- mier was stabbed seven times. Not a word from Rome, however, where the Italian Premier was peacefully sleeping in his bed when he was stabed seven times by the Chicago Associated Press in Paris, Brus- sels and Toulon. The Chicago Associated Press was obviously trying to beat its Rome correspondent—if it has one—on local news. In 1ts “night extra” one of the victims of the Chicago Associated Press in New York City killed Signor Crispi, and in its “Crispi extra’’ brought him back to life. On Saturday the Chicago Associated Press crowned the ambition of United States Senator Biackburn of Kentucky by ending the great struggle in the Kentucky Legislature in his re-election to the Sen- ate. As a purveyor of the news of the day that concern was in this instance as un- successful as usual, and its chances of act- ing as press agent for Mr. Blackburn were forever doomed. Mr. Blackburn was not elected. Having given the America’s cup to the Valkyrie (which shedid not get), poisoned the Sultan of Turkey (who still resides in the Yildiz kiosk), shot President Cleve- Jand (who can be found any day at the White House), captured Havana for the Cuban rebels (tbe city is still in possession of the Spaniaras), executed Jameson in the Transvaal (he is now in London), as- sassinated Signor Crispi (who is as lively a3 he was before he was ‘“stabbed seven times), and re-elected Senator Blackburn (whois yet hoveful of being returned, if the Chicago Associated Press will keep its hands off), there is nothing left of the Chi- cago association of Munchausens but to brin% forward its periodical “Rome dis- patch,” speculating upon the possibility of the election of fan American Pope to suc- ceed Leo XIII upon the demise of that Pontiff. It is almost, if not quite, due. e THE BRITANNIA WINS. admired their sister Republic.” Baron von der Recke von der Horst, Prussian Minister for the Interior, has for- warded 2 communication to Washington, through the regular diplomatic channels, stating that he is astonished to find that a certain State of the American Union is seeking to negotiate directly with the Prussian Government, through a special envoy, thus ignoring the established usage. The Minister says he has taken cognizance of the fact that Governor Morton has not acted upon the proceedings of the Albany Senate and Assembly, and in turn admits that there was a chance that the decrees canceling the licenses of two New York insurance companies might be repeaied. But, he adds, since the interference of the amateur special envoy from New York State to Berlin the position has been so completely altered that the Prussian Gov- ernment cannot repeal the decree, and it must now be represented to the public that the influence of an amateur diplomat has caused Prussia to yield. Even at the risk of Governor Morton’s application of the recent resolution of the Albany Legislature refusing to renew the licenses of Prussian insurance companies doing business in the State of New York, this decision, he says, will in the mean- time be adhered to. The Emperor will receive Count Golu- chowski, the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, to-morrow, with unusually great state ceremony, and this announcement is accepted as marking the importance of the Austrian Minister’s visit to Berlin, which, it is generally believed, has for its object a conference upon the subject of the future of the Dreibund in view of the recent events in Italy. The Hamburg Chamber of Commerce has held a meeting which was attended by all of the prominent merchants and bank- ers of that city, to protest against the pourse laws which are proposed by the Government, designed, as the proposal sets forth, to prohibit *‘dishonest transac- tions on the bourses.”” The meeting passed a resolution declaring that the proposed Beats the Ailsa and Satanita by @ Nar- row Margin. HYERES, Francg, March 8.—There was a strong mistral blowing to-day, which compelled the vachts taking part in the regatta to sail under shortened canvas. The Ailsa had a double reef in her main- sail, but the Britannia and Satanita were able to carry more sail and went over the course single reefed. The difference in the starting times of the boats were corrected at the finish. The Satanita got away four and the Ailsa eight minutes ahead of the Britan- nia. The racers maintained their relative positions until that part of the course was reached where they had to make a beat to windward. The Satanita and Ailsa each got a different wind from the Britannia, which at the first round was four minutes ahead of the Satanita and sixteen minutes ahead of the Ailsa. On the second round the Satanita picked up some of her lost distance, but the Britannia won the race by thirty-five seconds. e Stabbed Himself Nineteen Times. COLUMBUS, Ouro, March 8.—A desper- ate attempt to €ommit murder and sui- cide was made by Herrman Jaenichen, a printer, at 1036 Jaeger street, this after- noon, whiletunder the influence of liquor. With a heavy poker he deait his wife five blows over the head with such force that the poker was twisted like a corkscrew, and the scalp was cut away in large pieces. Thinking he had killed her he stabbed himself nineteen times in the breast with a dagger. He was taken to the Protestant Hospital, where he now lies in a very critical condition. The woman’s skull is not fractured, and she will prob- ably recover. 3 e BSafe Return of the Maristow.

KINLEY COMPACT Supporters of Other Candidates Combine to Defeat the , Ohioan. THE KENTUCKY DEADLOCK. Blackburn’s Friends Confident That He Will Be Elected Senator To-Day. ST. PAUL, Mi~xy,, March 8.—It is an- nounced this evening that the McXinley men of Minnesota will attempt to defeat Senator Cushinauk Davis and send a McKinley delegation to St. Louis. The trouble has been brewing for some days. It was first learned that a combination was forming in the East looking to the de- feat of McKinley and that letters had been received by several prominent Repub- licans of this State asking them to go into it. It was recited that Morton would have the delegations from New York and Flor- ida, Quay from ‘Pennsylvanig, Allison from,Jowa and North and South Dakota, Bradley from Kentucky and Cullom from Iilinois. Besides. it was stated that Reed would have New England solidly at his back, and Manderson would no doubt control Nebraska, all of which, it was intimated, with Minnesota, would be enough to con- trol things at St. Louis. Learing this, the McKinley men investi- gatedand found that several of the dele- gates slated to go to St. Louis for Senator Davis were for Reed and Allison as second and third choice. The McKinley men de- manded that the delegation that goes to St. Louis shall either declare for McKinley as second choice or stand aside. They say Minpesotais for McKinley in the ratio of ten to one, and that if the Davis men re- fuse their demand they will proceed at once to organize and send a delegation to St. Louis pledged to McKinley as first choice. e, NEARING THE END, Kentucky’s Senator May Be Elected To-Day. FRANKFORT, Ky, March 8.—Al- though this was Sunday the politicians have been busy all day trying to solve the Senatorial puzzle. The friends of Black- burn seem to be very confident that he will be elected. They say they are going to give the ‘““sound’” money men a chance to vote for Blackburn to-morrow. Hon. Thomas H. Pettit, the late Popu- list candidate for Goyernor, arrived in this city to-night. It is said that he came here in the interest of Senator Blackburn. He was closeted with the two Populist mem- bers for a long time to-night and there was much speculation as to what would be the outcome of the conference. There is some talk to-night that if a “sound money”’ Democrat has to be elected, some of the Republicans pre- fer Congressman McCreary to Mr. Carlisle. A good many of the members say that a Benator will be elected to-morrow, but they refuse to say who it will be. The Kaufman-Dunlap contest case will be voted on to-morrow at 11:30 o’clock. It seems to be the opinion of Democrats and Republicans alike that Kaufman will be unseated. The Senate is ready to retaliate by unseating a Republican Senator. e GOVERNOR MORTON'S STRENGTH Will Have the Solid New York State Del- egation at His Back. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 8,—The Re- publican State Committee, Charles W. Hackett chairman, to-night issued the fol- lowing to the press: “There have been more than forty Re- publican county and #ssembly district conyentions already held in this State, and 163 delegates to the Republican State Convention which assembles in this city on the 24th of March have been elected. “Every one of these conventions has indorsed Governor Morton as its candidate for President, and every ome of the 163 delegates thus far chosen is a Morton man. Eight delegates to the St. Louis conven- tion have been elected, and every one of them is heartily for Morton. “Governor Morton’s friends here have advices that already twenty-eight Morton men have been chosen delegates to St. Louis from Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. There are, therefore, thirty-six Morton delegates to the National Convention already elected.” L e McKINLEY'S HEADQUARTERS, * His Forces Secure the 5t. Louis Exposi- % tion Butlding. ST.

Cardinal Gibbons Urges the Breaking Down of Barriers Between Catholic Laity and Clergy. BALTIMORE, Mb»., March 8,—Cardinal Gibbons preached at the cathedral to-day to a congregation that filled to overflowing the large edifice. His Eminence took for his theme the necessity for co-operation of the laity of the church with the clergy in working for the cause of Christ. Many of his audience thought that the Cardinal had in mind the opposition of the Ameri- can Protective Association to Catholic in- stitutious, He said in paré: “Every kingdom that fights against it- self falls. On the other hand, every king- dom or republic whose citizens are imbued with a united spirit of patriotism is des- tined to flourish. A moral leader, no mat- ter how high his character, is powerless unless he has a loyal, devoted, united com- munity behind him. With united co-op- eration such a leader can elevate and lift up his conmmunity. The same is true of the religious world. “‘Our course is piain; we must try, asdid ourfathersof old to maintain an unalterable patience amid calumny and persecution. Let us break down all the barriers be- tween the laity and clergy, for are we not all brethren and sisters of Christ Jesus— the children of the same God? And are we not all of one church and one baptism ? You can advance Christ’s kingdom by a manly, open, generous profession of your Christian faith. While granting to all others freedom in their religion stand firmly for all your own rights as Chris- tians and Catholics. All we ask is a fair field and no favor; we demand simply our rights,” CRUISER MODELS LOANED Japan Borrows Two Miniature Warships From the United States, Will Pattern Its New Fleet After the Type of Vessels in the American Navy. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 8—A Sun special from Washington says: The in- terest taken by the Japanese government in the American navy and the high regard it has for the type of ships recently con- structed here is emphasized by a request that the Department lend for a few months two models on exhibition in Washington of the armored cruiser New York and the battleship Indiana.. This request came through the Minister here and has been granted by the Secretary, who on Saturday directed that these models be shipped at onceto Japen. Each model is an exact reproduction of the vessel it represents in every pariicular, and each cost the Navy Department between $7000 and $8000. hey are about seven feet in length, and give an excellent idea of the vessels as they appear when in active service. Every feature of the vessel is faithfully repro- duced toa carefully drawn scale,and to an expert, they will form an interesting subject for study and serve a useful pur- pose in designing ships on their general 1an. B These models were made at the Wash- ington navy yard by two men who are employed exclusively on the work. They formed oneof the main exhibits of the navy both at Chicago and Atlanta,and are without doubt the finest models of war- ships made. Each type of vessel con- structed for the new navy is represented by the models, and the Department now has about twelve types in all. Ships like the Chicago and Dolphin have not yet been produced by the model- makers, but all the recent additions, with the exception of the Columbia type, are on exhibition in the corridors of the depart- ment. The request of Japan to inspect these models is accepted here as indicating that she contemplates making contracts with Ainerican firms for some of the new ships she proposed adding to her navy. The Cramps are understood to have received requests for certain information relative to warships, and it is believed that the Union Iron Works of San Francisco also expects to build some vessels if this country secures any of the contracts. g Scalded by Hot Tar. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 8.—Boiling hot crude tar overflowed one of the Stand- ard Oil Company’s big tanks soon after midnight this morning in the company’s yard at Bayonne, N. J.

C., March 8.—The conference report on the Cuban resolu- tions will be called upin the Senate to- morrow. When the report was presented on Thursday last by Sherman, wherein the Senate receded from its own resolutions and agreed to those passed by the House, ‘objection to present consideration was made by Hale of Maine, Sherman then gave notice that he would call the report up immediately after the morning busi- ness to-morrow. A conference report be- ing privileged it has the right of way. Hale, it is understood, will take the op- portunity thus offered to explain why he voted against the resolutions when they were before the Senate for consideration. Chandler, who did not participate in the debate at that time, but who voted for the resolutions, may also make a shortspeech, in which he will state his views, which are more extreme than any of his colleagues. Chandler holds that this Government should not only declare the independence of the island of Cuba, but that the Unitea States should set up that independence and notify Spain and the whole world that she was ready and able to maintain it. The Dupont case, involving the legality of the alleged election in Delaware, still holds its place as the unfinished business. Turpie of Indiana has the floor for to- morrow. His speech will be replied to by Pritchard of North Carolina, a member of the committee. Gray of Delaware and Burrows of Michi- gan will also speak on this subject during the week. There is a general belief that cthe debate will end this week, for there is no disposition on the vart of the Demo- crats to delay the vote. Gray, represent- ing the Democrats, says there is a plain case against the legality of the claim of Dupont, and that if the Seuate votes ac- cording to the facts as they are presented Mr. Dupont will not be seated. Mitcheil is equally firm in his belief that there can be but one side to the case, and that Mr. ‘Dupont will be seated. The impression among Republicans is that Mr. Du- pont will get the sold vote of the Re- publicans, together with one and perhaps two Populist votes. This, of course, would give him his seat. The silver men appear to have been care- fully sounded on the subject, and though interested in the case say thau silver will not figure in the matter at all, but that the case will be decided on its merits entirely, even though the seating of Dupont does mean one more anti-silver vote in the Senate. The bill to prevent the extermination of the fur seals of Alaska (which seems to prevent such extermination by extermin- ating them under authority of the United States and thereby preventing the further exercise of cruelty by pelagic sealers) has been made the special order for Thursday. This measure will cause some debate, at least on the part of Senator Morgan, who is bitterly cpposed to its provisions and was defeated in committee by a majority of only one. It is the expectation of the House mana- gers to devote the coming week to the con- sideration of appropriation bills and the contested election case of Aldrich vs. Rob- bins, from the Fourth Alabama district. The postoffice appropriation bill is the pending business, and when it has been disposed of the election case will be taken up, unless the illness of Turner (D.) of Virginia, a member of the committee re- porting the case, should necessitate a post- ponement. The naval appropriation bill is the next in line for consideration. TRIBUTE TO FRANKLIN. Memorial Tablet in His Honor Unveiled at Passy, France. PARIS, FrAaNCE, March 8.—Several hun- dred persons to-day attended the unveil- ing of a memorial tablet that has been erected on the site of the villa at Passy occupied by Benjamin Franklin from 1777 to0 1785. It was at this villa that Franklin erected his first lighining conductor. The dramatist, M. Manuel, president of the Passy Historical Society, presented the tablet. M. Faye, a member of the French Academy, spoke of Franklin’s scientific researches. The Hon. J. B. Eustis, the American Embassador, acknowledged the gift of the tablet. M. Roujon, director of the Society of Fine Arts; M. Conway, Henry Bacon, the artist; Meredith Read and many ladies were present at the ceremonies. IR R R ENGLAND’S BLUE BOUK.

It will add: “It is now incumbent on the Vene- zuelans to refute our contentions and re- but our evidence. Otherwise the case will go against them by default.

Assailants of a Colored Man Collide With a Knife. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 9.—Dur- ing a fight late last night at Tweaty-third and Lombard streets George Queen, col- ored, aged 20 years, stabbed and killed John O’ Brien, fatally cut Joseph Sweeney and quite seriously wounded Thomas Reaney and Charles Fisher. All of Queen’s victims were whife men. The white men, from what can be learned of the circumstances which led up to the fight, were in a large measure to blame for the trouble. Earlier in the evening they had taunted Queen as he Plsxod them on the street, and a little ater they became involved in a quarrel with another colored man and chased him for some distance to beat him. After his first encounter with the whites Queen went home, armed himself with a large ;| butcher-knife and returned to the street. An eye-witness says that the white men assaulted Queen, and that he used the knife against a crowd of six assailants. Queen made no attempt to escape after the fight, and_is now in jail awaiting the action of the Coroner. In his ante-mortem statement Sweeney says that he had noth- ing to do with the fight, but.was merely an o?looker‘ Fisher made a similar state- ment. - SENT BX A REPORTER. The Alleged Bomb for P. D. Armour Was a Harmless Fake. CHICAGO, IrL.,, March 8.—The officials of the Hyde Park postal stztion are of the ovinion that the alleged bomb yesterday discovered in the mail addressed to P. D. Armour was sent by a reporter for a news- paper. Superintendent Hendricksen said the package had been in the office only twenty minutes when the reporter came in making inquiries about it. Informa- tion was refused, and the supposed infer- nal machine was locked up in the vault. A report was written on the matter, but it was not taken to Postmaster Hesing, nor was any information given out by the three employes of the station. Notwith- standing this the paper published a minute description of the bomb, and Superintend- ent Hendricksen says it could not have been wriften unless the writer had seen the alleged infernal machine. The matter will be reported to Inspector Stuart and Mr. Hesting to-morrow. EnicEslioh B DIED IN A FOREIGN LAND. The Body of Comsul Savage Brought Back From France. NEW YORK, N.

He was ap- pointed by President Cleveland in 1893 and served in that capacity to the time of his death. He died on February 3 of rheu- matism of the heart. The body wasac- companied here by Mrs. Reavel Savage, the wife of the deceased, and a cousin. DUEL IN AN OPERA-HOUSE Actors Settle an Old Grudge With Pistols on the Stage. One Is Mortally Wounded and the Other Is Nursing a Broken Jaw. MARION, Ixp., March 8.—William Lang and John West of ‘‘O'Hooligan’s Mas- querade,” had a fight at White’s Opera- house to-night after the performance, in which Lang was shot four times and will probably die from a wound in his left breast. West suffered a broken jaw, Lang knocking him down amd jumping on to his face. Lang forced the fighting. Lang went to West's dressing - room, where West shot him. Lang then re- turned to his dressing-room, and, procur- ing a revolver, the iwo men went ou the stage in a genuine duel, exchanging ten shots. West escaped the shots, while Lang carries two balls in his skin. The whole company is under arrest panding an investigation. To-night William A. Lang is in a seri- ous condition, with his recovery in doubt. The shooting began as soon as the cur- tain dropped on the last act. A panic fol- lowed among the stragglers from the audi- ence who had not left the building. Jealousy as to one of the actresses had resulted in a feud between Lang and West. PN T V1EW KENRICK’S BODX.

There was no parade, though the hearse was followed by a large number of clergy- men and laymen in carriages.

WANT LEADS TO CRIME. A Blacklisted Southern Precific Fireman Is Driven to Theft. EMIGRANT GAP, Can, March 8.— Michael Nevins, a young man well known hereabouts, was taken from a boxcar on train 6 to-day at Colfax and lodged in jail. He is suspected of having stolen $50 from a person at Truckee whose name could not be asceriained. Some of the money is said to have been found upon his person when arrested. Nevins has heretofore borne a good repu- uation. Before the strike of 1894 he was a locomotive fireman between Rocklin and Truckee, but his actions during the strike caused the railroad company to dispense with his services. He gas since been doing odd jobs here and there. It is believed that actual want caused the young man to commit the crire. Nevins’ family are highly respected resi- dents of Rocklin, and the news of his downfall will no doubt be heard with dis- may. —_—— DISCOURAGED WOODLAND D1VINE Tired of Preaching to Empty Pews He Conoludes to Resign. ‘WOODLAND, Car., March 8,—At tne conclusion of his sermon this morning Rev.
