While the military 1rain was passin, along the central trocha, which extends from Moron to Jucara, 1n the provinee of Puerto Principe, a dynamite bomb which had been placed on the rails by rebels ex- ploded. Several of the cars were wrecked. As soon as the explosion occurred the rebels, who had been in ambush, male an aitack on the armored car attached to the train. “This car was defended by twenty- five officers aml men.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Nov. 20.—It is re- ported here to-day that an expedition of over 200 Texas cowboys is almost ready to depart from Point Isabel, on the lower guii coast, near the Mexican line, for Cuba. The expedition was organized by an agent of the Cuban insurgents, who has been in this part of the State for seve- ral weeks. A large quantity of arms and ammunition will be taken by the party. ‘TRAMPLED TO DEATH BY A CROWD Great Crowds of People Who Turned Out to Weicome the Viceroy of India Become Stampeded. BOMBAY, Ixpia, Nov. 20,—A dispatch from-Kasoda, capital of the State of that name, gives the detuils of a fatal accident which occurred there to-night. The Earl of Eigin, Viceroy of India, arrived at Barolea this evening ‘on a visit to the Gaikwar, or native ruler of the state. The inhabitants turnmed out en masse to wel- come the Viceroy and to see a aisplay of fireworks in his honor. The dispiay was given in the park of the Gaikwar, which was open to the public. Everything passed off without incident or note until the end of the ceremonies. Then the crowd made a rush for the park gates, which were so narrow that they soon became jammed with peovle. Those bebind, not knowing the cause of the de- lay at the exit, pressed forward until the crush at the gates was terrific. A num- ber of persons were squeezed to death, while others who lost their footing in the surging mass of humanity had the life trampled out of them or died from suffo- cation. When the crowd was finally cleared away it was found tbat twenty- nine persons had been killed and thirty- five others more or less seriously injured. UNCLE SAM SHOULD ACT PRGMPTLY Foster Says That Unless This Country Annexes Hawaii Some Other Fower Will Step In. CHICAGO, Irr, Nov. 29.—John W. Foster, ex-Secretary of State, and Mrs. Foster arrived in Chicago yesterday on thelr way to their home in Washington from Honolulu. They spent a little more than two weeks on the islands, and Mr. Foster’s observations confirmed the belief which he promuligated as premier of President Harrison’s Cabinet that annexa- tion by the United States is the duty of this Government. 'he present Hawaiian administration is waiting for the inauguration of Presi- dent McKinley to make another effort to have the islands annexed,” saii Mr. Fos- ter.. “The constitwtion under which the veople of the isiands are living at present has annexation as gne of the main things to be striven for. The islands were never in_a more prosperous condition than at present. They are prospering in a busi- ness way, because the last sugar crop was an exceptionally good one, and the ad- ministration of President Dole is the best ahat the people ever had. - “Itis recognized that-the ultimate fate of the islands, if they are not annexed by the United States, is that they will be annexed by some other of the great powers. It will be impossible for the islanders to govern themselves success- fully for any great length of ‘time by the reason of the clash between the different elements—Republicans and Royalists and natives -and foreigners. Oune thing is setiled, and that is that the Queen will never rule again or the monarchy be re- stored. So it remains for the United States to et without delay or some other nation will assume power in .the Hawaiian Isiands.” S UNIOK. OF RAILWAY- TRAINMEN. " A Movement on Foot to Have the Members of All> Branches Join in a Common Cause. . 8T. LOUIS, Mo., ‘Nov. 29.—A mass meeting of railway trainmen was held ‘here this ‘evening at Druids’ Hall. The meeting was called vy five local lodges of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, W. C. Pierce, secretary of the Trackmen’s Union, presided anrd explained that the purpose of ihe meeting was to discuss the feasibility of uniting all organized bodies of.railroad workmen. Second Vice-Grand Master T. R. Dodge of Chicago was the first speaker. He ad- vocated a general union-—not for strikes and boycotts, but-to secure compulsory arbitration and the enactment of law tending to better the workers. E. Merriweather, State Labor Com- missioner of Missouri, made a stirring fep-minute speech that aroused the 500 auditors. Others made short speecnes and 8 recess was taken, Upon reassembling” at 7:45 ». M. Chair- man Pierce dispensed with ceremony and calied for short experience talks. A committee of one from each of the five branches of the Trainmeén’s Brother- hocd was appointed to meet any author- . ized body of railway workmen to work upon a plan of union. Like meetings were held to-day in Sud- “bury, Pa., and Columbus, Ohio. The plan most favored for union is for each brancn of railroad service to maintain ite separate organization, but to send delegatesto a general congress of all railroad labor unions. This congress shounld only assume to deal wit, questions that inter- ested all the workers, such as the secur- ing of arbitration laws and laws punishing black-iisting, e:c., and should have no power to order strikes or boycotts. : {sbike gt Winally Kitled the Bully.

It Is the Opinio» That Turkey's Su - tan Will Continue to Play His Game of Deceit. [Copyright,'1898, by the United Associated Presses] BERLIN, GerMaNY, Nov. 20.—The very latest advices received here from St. Pe- turg through official chunnels confirm the reports coutained in yesterday’s dis- patches of the United Associated Presses of coming changes in the administration of affairs of the Russian empirs, and at- test the correctness of the appointments mentioned as about to be made. The ad- vices, however, discredit the reports of an Anglo-Russian ententes The view of the situation in Russia most generally taken in official quarters here is that the Czar has not yet acquired confidence in himself or in any particular Minister sufficient to warrant him in venturing upon a change in the foreign policy established by the late Mimster of Foreign Affairs, Prince Lobanoff; and that for some time to come the foreign policy in force in Russia mnst necessariiy be tentative. In the meantime the influence of M. Nelidoff, tie Russian Embassador to Tur- key and aspirant to the Foreign Ministry, is dominant, which is regarded here as implying a continuation of Russia’s pro- tection of the Sultan, Ler absolute rejec- tion of ail schemes for European interfer- ence in Turkey, fimancial or otherwise, and the action of Russia 1n the capacity of tutor to the Suitan to the end of his reliance upon Russia until the Saltan of the Otioman Empire sball become practi- celly a vassal of the Czar, This view is taken as an explanation of the fact that the scheme of M. Hanotaux, Freuch Min- ister of Foreign Affairs, for the adjustment of Turkish finances has been rejected by Russia. Concerning this scheme the in- spired St. Petersburg Viedumosti fraukly says: *The French proposal to add a Russian representative to the board ¢f commis- sioners of the Ottaman debt would be dearly bought by the sacrifice of Russia’s present exclusive control of Constan- tinople. ~ Tue lead -taken by the iate Prince Lobanoff has been followea by M. Nelidoff, who has succeeded in wiping out every European influence in Turkey. With Eugland set aside, the Dreiband now here and the Czar lord paramount at the Yildiz Kioska, why shonld Russia do anything except waits. Instead jof ventur- ing unun war she will be able to dispose at her pleasure of all the resources of Turkey and garrison the forts of the Dardanelles at will and use the name of the Sultan as Caliph in operating upon the Moslems in Egypt.” Tne Novo Vremya, another inspired St. Petersburg journal, in an article express- ing similar views, says: “The policy of Russia is not to support the action of the other powers, but to en- force her own wiil. No matter what massacres of Armenian and other Chris- tians may occur, the isoiated action of Russia is a practical reality.” The Berlin Government. is fully aware that this is the lthcy of Rassia, and is bolding aloof while awaiting develop- ments, Germany well knowing that Aus- tria is reaay to strike at an opporiune moment to check the ascendency of Rus- sia in Turkay. The sum of the present position is that the Porte, bucked by Rus- sia, will continue to play its oid game of delusive reforms wita impunity. Commenting upon the enormous ex- ports irom Germany to the United Stat.s of artificially prepared wings and inferior spirits and beers, the Berlin Neuste Nach- richten says that since the passage of the wine act by the Reichstag in April, 1892, in regard to the adulteration of wines and alcobolic beverages, immense quantities of liquors have been broucht into the market under the name of wines at such low prices as to prove it impossible that they could hayve been prepared in accord- ance with the luw. “A certain Rhenish firm,” the paper says, ‘“‘sells annually tbousands of casks of wine in the composition of which there cannot possibly be anything beyond a nominal percentage of grape wine, and other instances of the production of abso- lutely artificial wiges might be given to the exh: ion of -.the capacity of our columns.” The Nachrichten deniands the enact- ment of some remediai legisiation imme- diately, and suggests the passage of a law imposing a heavy tax upon wine manu- facture. i The congress of the Christian Socialists, which has been in progzress at Erfurt for several days, attracted considerable atten- tion at the opening of 118 sittings on Mon- day last, but all interest in the proceed- ings died out as the gaseous and impractical tharacter of the speeches of the delcgates became apparent.. Pastor Naumarn, who has now entirely disasso- ciated himself from Dr. Stoecker, formerly court chaplain and the head and front ¢f Christian socialism, delivered a long and ramblink speech advocatinz the founding cf; 8 new church,.which should be free from dogma. The Christian Socialists, he said, would vet march shoulder to shoul- der witlt the “Socia! Democrats in support of a systkm of universal conscription, an increase’ of the German fleet and the pol- icy of German colonial expansion. The 1mpression left by the congress is that the Christiah Socialist party will never attain politics! import#hce, there being no unity of opinion within 118 ranks. Most of the resoluitions adopted were passed Ly the same vote—b4 against 41. The commanication: which have passed between the Berlin ‘and Lisbon govern- ments in regard to the report that Great Britain was uegotiating with Poriueal with a view of obiaining controlof the Deiagoa Bay Railway have resulted ina denial on ihe part vi the Poriuguese Gov- ernment that any stép was taken by them in that direction and the discovery that the report originated in Pretoria, the cap- 1tal of the Transvaal Republic. Concern- ing this report the Neueste Nachriehten asserts that through the medium of the wires from Pretoria President Kruzer ap- pealed to the G vernments‘of Germany and France to secure the neutrality of D lagoa Bay. The executive committee of the German Binietatiic Union has issued a circular in regard i0 the recent election of McKinley to the Presidency of the United States, which says that some Gerfnan bimetallists were of the opinion that the election of Bryan would have shown the European States how the free ccinage of silver in America alone would have been a menace to the trade of the world. Now that Mec- Kinley is elected, the circular adds, the German bimetallists expect an inter- national bimetallic agreement upon a feasonable basis, which Germany must suf)port. » t is reported that Princess Feodora, the youngest sister of the German Em is to be d to Prince Maxmilian, cousiu and heir to the Grand Duke of Baden and an officer in the German army.

The statements originating from French sources that the German military camp at Eisenborn, on the Belgian frontier, is to be abandoned are untrue. On the con- trary, extensions in the railway communi- cations are about to be undertaken which will link Elsenborn with all of the sirate- gic lines on the German border.

WITH “TYPHUS ANTI-TOXINE.” Experiments That Reveal Some Vaiuable | Discoveries in Reference to In- fectious Diseases. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. "29.— United States Consul George Sawter at Glochau sends to the Department of State the following =zccountof a report soon to be published in a German medi- cal journal By Professor R. Pfeipper and Dr. W. Kolle, two well-known bacteriolo- gists of B riin, giving'the effect of a num- ber of experiments they have made with a “typhus anti-toxine.”” “If their hopes are confirmed,” says the Consul, “the science of therapeutics in. infectious diseases will have received an- | other valuable accession in this new dis- covery. The two experimenters believe that exemption from typhus germs, like immunity from cholera germs and other contagious diseases of like character, may | be traced back to the existence in the blood of anti-typnhoid substances, and from this standpoint the very successfuf | results of the investigations have been gained, That this theory is most important and practical is realized when the vitality of the tvphus bacillus, as discovered by Koch, Eberth and Klebs, is given consid- eration. The typhoid bacillus is known to exist larzely in well and spring water, | and the fact that they are irequently the direct cause of infection is widely recog- | mzed by authorities on bacteriology. Consequently this latest very important discovery is to be greeted with joy, as it may provedn the future the means of pre- serving numberless lives from untithely | demise, particularly as man is susceptible to attacks from the baciili during the best, vears of his development—20 and 25 years: The inoculations of typhus antk-toxine can be easily and quickly executed and | will prove of great value and benefit, espe- cially in times of epidemic, when the need of a prompt efficacious life-saving remedy is most urgent. . The entire. fruits of the experiments will soon be published for the benefit of the medical world. T R D JOHN &, REDMOND TALKS. “Fifteen Years in the British Parlia- ment” His Subjret, NEW YORK, N.

Drunken Men Kill a Widow and a Negro Assaults a Girl. : CHATTANOOGA, Texsx., Nov. 29.—Re- ports received at Atbens, Tenn., contain meager details of two terribie crimes com- mitted near that.town, but owing 10 the telegraph wires being down between_ this city and Athens no news confirming the stories can be obtained. In North Athens, an addition to the town, five drunken men, ail white, forced their way into the home of a respectable widow' and made a savage attack upon her. = One “of her assailants threw a rock, which crushed her skuli. She will die as aresult of the injuries. A few miles from Athens a seven-year- old girl was overiaken on her way home from Sunday-school to-day by a negro, who assaulted her ina most brutal man- ner.

Mrs. M., H. Carew Accused of Causing Her Husband's Death With Arsenic. If the Chirgs is True the Wcman Must Have Plotted With Marvelous Ingenuity. TOKIO, Japax, Nov. 16.—Baron Iwa. saki, one of the wealthiest Japanese mil- lionaires, hasaccepted the position of pres- ident of the Bank of Japan, in succession to Baron Kawads. who died quite sud- denly in Osaka. Baron Iwasaki is well known to all foreigners in Japan and to many outside Japan, especially Amer- icans. He owns coal mines, dockyards, a bank, extensive house property and some 6,000,000 yen worth of the Japan Mait Steamship Company’s shares, besides being actively engaged in many other en- terprises. His acceptance of the presi. dency of the bank has surprised the pub- lic and is universally regarded as a fresh proof of the close relations existing be- tween the present Prime Minister, Count Matsukata, and the principal business men in the country. Mrs. M. H. Carew has beea arraigned 1n Yokohama on the charge of poisoning her busband, who died recently from the effects of arsenic. The case promises to be one of the most sensationai on record, un- less Mr. Carew poisoned himself, an al- most untenable hypotheris. - For if the defense set up be proved false, and if Mrs. Carew be found guilty, it will follow that the crime was plotted with marvellous in- genuity, and that beiore the poison began to be administered, measures to eever up the tracks of the criminals had been fully planned and putinto operation. Opinions are divided in Yokohama, but many re- fure to believe in the widow’s guilt, and two of the most prominent British resi- dents have appeared as her sureties. Mrs. Carew’s family occupy & high position in Somersetshire, of which place her father is Mayor. She has shown remarkable self-posses- siori throughout ah the painful incidents since her husband’s death, and has sub- mitted with much fortitude to long and vainful examinations and cross-examina- tions. But during the proceedings in court on the 14th inst., an incident oc- curred that has produced an impression very damaging to her. A number of documeénts that had been received in evi- dence at the inquest and subsequently transmitted to the court, were handed to ner counsel, at his request, for examina- tion. This was during a brief recess taken by ihe court. When the Judge resumed his piace on the bench, the clerk of the court stated that one of the documents was missing. Thereupon the doors were closed, and after various inquiries here and there, Mrs. Carew “was finally searchea, when the document was found between the cloth sleeve of her dress and the crape cuff. A resolute attempt has been made by certain Japanese publications to discredit { the Minister of the Imperial Household. | Their is to ‘bring about his resignation, for they believe that great part of Marquis Ito’s pol cal influence is due to the facil- 1ty with which be obtains audience of the Sovereign, and much of that facility they attribute to the connivance of the iiinis» ter of the Household. They have not hes- itated to charge the lattér with corruption, abuse of power and successful attempts to hoodwink the Emperor. This campaign has failed almost.completely, but has been the means of eliciting some interesting facts. For example, it appears that six of the Meiji statesmen have attained posi- object | tions carrving with them the privilege of being received in audience whenever they visit the palace; that politcal tovics are tabooed at ihese audiences, except on very special . occasions; that every peer has the rigat of memorial zing the throne, and that, if so de. sired, his memorial must pass sealed into the Sovereign’s.hands; that His Majesty has eighteen newspapers submitted daily for his inspection—among which the only | English jouinal is the Japan Mail—and tha: the Empress peruses 8; that two Chamberlains always attend the debates in the Diet and carry reports direct to the Sovereign; and that, in consideration of bis splendid services during the war, Marquis Ito reccived a donation ot 100,000 yen trom the Imperial purse. The United States cruiser Boston ran aground on a sand-spit some twelve miles outsile Chemulpo harbor on the 5th of November, but floated off without damage on the kigh tide next morning Appended is a list of the places at which United States cruisers are now located: The Boston at Caemulpo, the Detroit at Shanghai, the Yorktown at Nagasaki, the Oiympia at Nagasaki, the Machias cruising coast seuth of Shanghai, Mona- caey at Tientsin, TheYorktown is expected to leave for America in January. Li Hing Chanz is in disgrace for tres- Eusing in the imperial gardens and has een sentenced to lose one year’s salary. Some embarrassment exists with regard to the revised treaty between Japan and Germany. The treaty provides t at, from the date of the exchange of ratifications, German subjects in Japan shall enjoy the privileges conferred by the Japanese law of patents, trade marks and designs. But no provision has been.made with reference to the admnistration of the law. Punitive clauses are, of course, embodied in the law, and should be inficte:t azainst any one guilty of infractions. But the Ger- man consular courts have 8o competence to enforce the observance of such a law, and the Jupanese courts will not acquire jur:sdiction over Germans until 1899, when the revised trenties are to go into opera- tion. In practice the omission is of no great consequence, since German subjects ure most unlikely to violeté Japanese patents or trade marks. But the affair will probably invoive the resignation or recall of Viscount Aoki, the Japanese Minister in Berlin, who negotia-ed the treaty. . ‘The Japanese Diet is convoked for its tenth session on December the 22nd. Hong Chong-wo, who murdered Kin Okiyun in Shanghai, bas been promo:ed from the position of Secretary of the Royal Hounse old Department in Korea to that of Master of Ceremonies. Ttat is one of the sublimest burlesques on record. A foul assassin di~charging the functions of master of ceremonies at a king's court! No wonder that tue monareh of Korea has o bide for his life in foreixn legations. To round off the savage comedy Yi Se- chik, who attempted to kill Pak Yong-ho in Tokio three years ago, succeeds his more successful mafter in the post of Sec- retary of the Royal Househoid Depart- ment. The Kink of Korea ought to im- port a hangman to be m of the Cbamber. > As the text of Japan's new commercial ftreaty with China contains nothing relat- ing to the former's abandonment of the manufacturing privilege secured by the Shimonoseki treaty it was at first supposed | 8. Sullivan; Miss Hammond, Mr. and Mrs, that the Shimonoseki treaty would hold a terall and that articies manu.actured in China by Japanese or other foreigners wounld* rank with imported goods, and would constantly be free from any special taxation. Buta protocol has now been published in which the Japanese Govern- ment distinctly concedes China’s right to tax articles manutactured by Japanese subjects in China provided only that such tax shall not differ from or exceed the im- rost pmd by Chinese manufactirers. Thu- Jupan has explicitly renounced that particular privilege. Had she not done so & nice question mignt possibly Lave arisen, It might have been claimed that Japan’s failure to avail herself of all the provisions of t' e Shimonoseki treatv did not disqual- ily other powers irom taking everything that the treaty gave, such action being based on their most favored nation right. B_ul the protocol just concluded in Peking Vvirtually abrogates the free-manufacture ¢lause and disposes finally of any question in that sense. As for the compensation obtained by Japan—namely, special’ sites for Japanese settlements in Shanghai, Tientsin, Amoy ana Hankow—it is evi- dently viewed by the Japanese with much satisfaction. Until quite recently, the oniy powers having settlements of their own at Chinese open ports were England and France. Germany made a new departure last yezr by applying for and obtaining a site for berself in Tientsin, the success of her demund beingattributed by many persons to the service she had rondered to China in assisting to drive Japan.out of Lisotung. But Japan will now stand on the same level as these sreat powers in the matter of settlemeuts® i‘pere can be no doubt that her position will be greatly improved in Chinese eyes, and that her commercial oppertunities will be increased. Some American newspapers appear to be provided, just now, with correspond- ents in Japen, who forward information manufactured out of whole cloth. Re- cently the American pubiic were informed that the town of Kobe had been wiped out by a conflagration, but Kobe stands to this day, unbarmed by an such catas- trophe. A later tale represented Japan in the clutches of such a terrible tamine that the Japanese Government had issued permis- &lon to destitute parents to sell their daughters. The fabricator of this vil- lainous lis wenton to detail the provisions of 8law said to have been enacted on the subject, and gave the prices for which | &ir.s were selling, with various other de- tatis equally false. The only way of ac- counting for this extraordinary series of falsehoods is that tneir concoctor con- founded Japan with a province of China, where the sale of girls is said to have been resorted to recently by parents reduced to the verge of starvation. Even that hy- pothesis, however, does not cover the cor- respondent’s deliberate inventions about the aelails of the so-called law. MRS. EMMONS BLAINE'S GIFT.

Warehouse Workers at Ham- burg Join the Men Who Are Battling. There Has Been a Gr:at Delay to Chartered Vessels, and Demands for Damages Will Follow HAMBURG, GerMaxy, Nov. 29.—The strike of the dock iaborers and others em- ployed in the shipping trade continues, and both employers and men express themselves confident of success. There is no sign of a break in the ranks of the strikers, notwithstanding the importation of foreign labor. 3 The ieaders of the strike are working hard to secure the adhesion of all the| dock, harbor and warehouse employes, and huve succeeded in gaining many ac- cessions to their numbers. The ware- house men and the men employed in the granaries decided at meetings held to-day | to join the strike in order to procure bet- ter wages fof themselves and incidentally | to heip the men already out. The strike is causing much delay in the shipment of water-borne freights. The sheds are more than full of goods await- g shipment, but there is no teiling when tae accumulation will go forward. Many | of the new men that have been employed are not at all skilled in the work, and this adds very materiaily to the delay in load- ing and discharging vessels. It1sbelieved that the claims of chartered vessels for damage wiil be large, and if these are conceded or enforced a heavy ad- ditional expense will be entailed by the | shipping men. The Hamburg Nachrichten accuses En- glish influences with causing the strike, and asks the members of the various ath- letic urions to take the places of strikers. A dispatch received here from Stock- holm says that the dock laborers’ union there held a meeting to-day and decided that its members should not discharge black laborers. Emperor William has ordered that a detailed report be made to him of the causes and extent of the strike. Thus far the men on strike have be- | haved in an orderly manner, but it is evi- dent that the ship-owners anticipaté trouble of some kind, for they have re- quested the naval authorities at Kiet to sénd marines here.
