DUBLIN, Nov. 16.—Rioting between the Horace Plunkett and Arthur Lynch fac- tions, as a result of the Parliamentary contest in Galway, was renewed last night. The Lynchites stormed the Union- | ist headquarters and further demolished the doors and windows. Numbers of per- sons were injured and several heads were split. Colonel Lynch has not yet appeared on the scene and is not expected.

OPPOSE GERMAN TARIFF MEASURE Agrarian League Stamps the Bill as Entirely Unacceptable. All Indications Point to Its Adoption in Its Present Form. BERLIN, Nov. 16.—Views differ regard- ing the effect of the Bundesrath's action | on the tariff bill. Friends of the measure | assert that the prospects- of its adoption substantially in its present form by the Reichstag have greatly improved and ever. its opponents do not disguise their disappointment over the Bundesrath’'s acquiescence. The Centrists press de- marnds its speedy passage and insists the | lcnger the debate lasts the more difficult | will be the adoption of the measure. Nev- | ertheless a long and heated discussion is | certain. Even obstruction tactics are hinted at by the Radicals and Socialists. | The Agrarian League pronounces the bill | to be absolutely unacceptable and says 1 that the Agrarians are profoundly disap- ! pointed at the Bundesrath’s action. The | league urges persistent opposition to the | measure in the Reichstag and Is sending circulars to its local branches setting ferth that all increases in industrial du- ties must be rejected unless the full Agrarian demands are conceded. } Anti-Chamberlain Meetings. | Numerous anti-Chamberlain meetings were held throughout Germany this week and there are no signs of an abatement of the movement. A number of the meet- | ings adopted resolutions which were for- | warded to the Imperial Chancellor, Count | von Bulow. A direct semi-official utter- arce on the subject is stiu lacking, but a rumber of the current weeklies which | generally reflect the views of the local | officials print simultaneously an article | supposed to have been inspired from, Ber- {fin, in which the people are warned | against carrying too far the feeling of in- | dignation against Chamberlain and allow- | ing it to assume the form of general politi- | cal hostility to Great Britain. The writer of the article rejects the demand that the German Government enter a protest J4n London against the utterances of the Co- lonial Secretary and ask for satisfaction, as this would overshoot the mark. article concludes with saying that public feeling in France passed over the matter with light ridicule, and asserts that the | French would rejoice if all Germans, with | the Chancellor at the head, “ran foul of the English bully’s weapon.” More sig- nificant is the circular which the execu- tive committees of the German Veterans’ Union and Prussian National Veterans' Union have, as already cabled, issued, deprecating the anti-Chamberlain dempn- onstrations and requesting the veterans to avoid taking part in the movement. Troubles of Grand Duke of Hesse. | In regard to the approaching action for | divorce between the Grand Duchess of | Hesse and the Grand Duke, the Cologne Gazette says it learns authoritatively that | no third party is involved, explains that | the disagreement is owing to the incom- | patibility of their temperaments and tastes and intimates that the lack of a male heir also has a bearing on the case. The paper further says that the Czar’s re- certly projected visit to Darmstadt was omitted because of the marital troubles tl){t the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of esse, Emperor William was hunting yester- day and to-day in Letzlingen forest, near Stendal, Prussian Saxony, with a_large | party of the highest nobility. The Empe- | Tor’s special guest on this occasion is the | Grand Duke Viadimir of Russia, uncle of | the Czar. 3 | _All signs indicate that there will be | much suffering among the working | classes In Germany this winter. The au- | thorities of this city estimate that there | are 35,000 unemployed persons in Berlin, and from all sections of the country come | reports of people seeking work. Statis- | tics show that an average of two persons | inquired for every vacant job in October, | and the number of unembployed has in- creased since then, several iron furnaces | and other establishments having recently | discharged men. The various German States have begun investigating the num- ber of people unemployed, preparatory to establishing relief works. The latest experiments with electrlc locomotives between Berlin and Zossen show the engines have reached a speed of 100 miles an hour. The experiments have gaen suspended until a heavier track s buf FREIGHET TRAIN WRECKED IN COLLISION ON SIDING Engineer and Fireman Save Them- selves, but Head Brakeman Is Instantly Killed. BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 16.—A collision oc- curred at 4 o'clock this morning near Orchard, on the Oregon Shoy Line, be- tween an east-bound freight and a west- bound helper engine that was backing up. The engine of the freight and ten cars were wrecked. The helper engine, the lever of which was reversed just before it struck, ran wild eight miles and stopped. The engineer and fireman saved them- selves by jumping. Charles Wallace, head brakeman of the freight, who was on the engine, was killed, and his body is still lying under the wreckage. Injured—Martin Cosgrove, engineer on freight, terribly scalded, will die; H. W. Knox, fireman on fraight, right leg off be- low knee, will probably recover; Eph Mec- Dowell and Frank Onan, engineer and flre!man on helper, bruised and cut, not serious. ——— Suit Against a Collector. NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—Suit has been commenced in the United States Circuit | Court by Warner, Barnes & Co. against Collector Biswell to recover $128,528, which it is claimed was gud under protest on a cargo of sugar brought by them from Tiotlo, in the %’hmppinu. Wynrngr, Barnes & Co. advance the claim that the island of Panay is American and not foreign ter- ritory, and that the collection of duties was contrary to the constitution of the United States. The suit is in a way a test case to determine the right to impose duty on goods brought from any of the colonial possessions cf this Government, and will probably be carried to the United States Supreme Court. Messenger Steals Jewelry. NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—John A. Hanlon, & messenger for the United States Ex- press Company on the Lehigh Rallway, was arrested at Jersey City to-day for alleged thefts of express fiukageg. ;hn- lon was a companion of Messenger Sam- uel Gleason, arrested at Rochester yes- terday for a similar crime. The police sald Hanlon confessed to the joint rob- bery with Gleason of a valuable package of jewelry in transit to the Fahey Watch Case Company, at Chicago. Hanlon will be taken to Pennsylvania for trial. T PO Slashes Enemy With a Knife. ANGELS CAMP, Nov. 16.—Frank Mey- ers, a miner working at the Duchess mine near Vallecito, got into a dispute to-day with another miner named John Zinker and Zinker slapped Meyer's face. Meyers drew a knife and cut Zfnker across the left arm and across the breast and stom- ach and also ripped his right arm open from the wrist to the shoulder. Zinker is in a critical condition. Meyers came to. Angels Camp and gave himself up. . e Banquet to General Randall. PORTLAND Or., Nov. 16—Brigadier General George M.

Chancellor of the Exchequer’s Task In Supplying Revenue for the Boer War. LONDON, Nov. 16—A stir has been | created by the rumor that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, would impose another tax of a half penny per pound on sugar, although inquiries by a representative of The Call have resulted in discrediting the probabil- ity of any such action. It is an unwrit- ten rule of the treasury that no industry shall be tampered with two years run- ning, and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach is not likely to break through hard and fast tra- ditions, however hard pushed he may be for funds to carry on the war. Neverthe- less, the rumor has brought to light a curious condition of affairs, which would certainly favor the Government, should it decide to take the step, despite the tax imposed in the last budget. The British consumer is now buying sugar more cheaply than before the tax was imposed. This is due chiefly to the surplus supply, but also to wholesale price cutting in Ger- many, where a sugar trust is causing the British sugar trade the keenest apprehen- sion. This German trust will form one of the chief topics of the sugar conference which is to meet in Brussels December 14 Theugh the United States Government has not been invited to send a delegate to the conference, the correspondent learns that it could be represented if it so de- sired, and one of the leading authorities on sugar in England is now endeavoring to secure the attendance of American del- egates at the meeting in Brussels. Until after the conference it can be defl- nitely stated Sir Michael Hicks-Beach will not take any action, and then it is improbable that he’ will run the risk of further disintegrating business, which on all sides, it is declared, would be in a sorrowful plight. Replying to a _correspondent, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said the coal tax would be continued next year, but inti- mated that it would not be ingreased. This will take a load off the minds of British coal miners, who have been espe- cially exercised over the inroads Ameri- can coal has made on the Continent. RESUME NEGOTIATIONS ON THE CESSION TREATY Danish Government Places Its Inter- ests in Hands of the Minister at Washington. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—The negotia~- tions between the Governments of the United States and Denmark relative to the cession to the United States of the Danish West Indies have been transferred to Washington. The transfer was brcught about through the desire of the Danish Government to place its interests in the matter in_the hands of Constantin Brunn, Danish Min- ister at this capital. He spent some time at Copenhagen last summer and returned to Washington recently thoroughly pre- pared to carry forward the negotiations directly with Secretary Hay. It is learned that within the last few days there has been increased activity in the negotia- tions, and that sensible progress ha: been made toward the completion of a treaty of cession. DURPHEY'S CONVICTION OF POLYGAMY STANDS Public Policy the Basis of an Opinion Rendered by District Judges. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 16.—By the con- current opinion of District Judges Clel- land, George, Fraser and Sears handed down to-day the motion of B. €. Durphey, arrested in Eureka, Cai., to set aside the verdict of guilty on a charge of polygamy brought against him, on the grounds of insufficiency of evidence and misconduct of the jury, was denizsd. Judge Sears said that on grounds of public policy ths affidavit of certain mem- bers of the jury to impeach the verdict would not be admitted. The affidavit re- ferred to alleges that certain members of the jury, while considering the case, brought ~up. matters detrimental to the defendant which had never appeared in the evidence.

He was evidently murdered. us the nature and go_ sition of the wound preclude the possibil- ity of suicide. There is no clew to the ‘murderer. Mother and Children Burned.

Parliament Is Expected to Reassemble on the 23d of Next January. g L LONDON, Nov. 16.—The Cabinet appears to have awakened from its lethargy to such unexpected energy as to elicit from the Gazette the following comment: “The strict application to business is highly to be commended and will be ap- preciated.” This unintentional admission of the Cabinet’s previous laziness has caused the statement that the various committees of the‘Cabinet, sitting this week, will form- ulate proposals for the reform of proced- ure in the House of Commons. These proposals will be considered by the full Cabjpnet next week.. It is pretty generally admitted that there is crying need of such a step, as domestic legislation is almost hopelessly blocked. Parliament, it is expected, will reassem- ble January 53. The negotiations between the govern- ments of Great Britain and Nicaragua with regard to the Mosquito coast have been very voluminous, but it is now be- lieved that Nicaragua can provide a sat- isfactory guarantee for the protection of the natives and enable Great Britain to rid herself of a responsibility which brings with it no advantage. The ques- tion of a sultable guarantee has been chiefly responsible for the prolongation of the matter, Lord Lansdowne, British For- eign Secretary, insisting that the Indians must be adequately protected. Beyond this point the Foreign Office displays lit- tle interest in the matter, belleving that Great Britain’s rights on the Mosquito coast are valueless. BITTER LEGAL FIGHT OVER A MINING CLAIM Partners Disagree and Ask the Courts to Settle Their Differ- ences. COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Nov. 16— Mrs. Beatrice A. Steadman of San Diego, was an important witness for the plain- tiff in the Doyle-Burns mining suit, in- volving title to a large share of stock in ‘the Portland Mining Company. She gave her testimony in a remarkably clear way in the face of a rigid cross-examin- ation by Senator Patterson. She told of going to Cripple Creek with her husband in 1897 and assisting him in working his claim by running a windlass at the top while her husband worked at the bottom. She testified that she saw Burns and Doyle frequently and that the former had always referred to Doyle as ** part- ner.” She sald she had negotiated with Burns for the lease of ground on which to build a boarding house. She objected to certain agreements without Doyle's consent, to which she says Burns replied: ‘I assure you it will be a great accommo- dation to both myself and my partner, Jimmy Doyle.” Mrs. Steadman also testified to her hus- band getting a contract on Bobtall No. 2, which she said was given by Burns and Doyle, and that Doyle made all the ar- rangements. Mrs. Steadman and her husband now live in San Diego, where they “are well gnown. They made a fortune in the Klon- ike. S ) .

Obituaries and portraits of the Topeka “Buffalo’ Jones have appeared in a number of East- ern papers. Girl Killed in a Train Collision.

Lord Pauncefote has recelved full credentials from Lon- don empowering him to sign the treaty. Tkis indicates conclusively that the Lon- don government has approved the text of the instrument. Nothing now stands in the way of its signature and submission to the Senate for ratification. President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay are confl- dent that the new treaty will be ratified without difficulty. Members of the diplomatic corps are taking a great interest in the treaty be- cause of the importance to them of its provisions in connection with the project- ed canal. Unofficial inquiries to ascertain its contents have already been addressed to this Government and they have been answered fully and frankly by Secretary Hay.
