Praise Is Generously (Show- ered on All the Sea Fighters, | | WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—In his report | to the Secretary ‘ot the Navy upon the l | combined operations between the army and navy, Admiral Higginson is most gererous in his distribution praise among the officers of the squadron and specially does he commend Rear Ad- miral Coghlan for his very able assist- | ance. His leading the squadron into Ne port at night through blinding search- | lights, smoke and against a strong cur- | rent is pronounced to have been a bril- ant piece of navigation requiring a i steady and undaunted nerve. Great credit is awarded to Captain Lyon | of the Olympia for his cable cutting off land and to Captain Brownson of the Ala- a and Captain Manney of the Massa- their able work.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Sept. 19.—The | centenary of the birth of Louis Kossuth is being celebrated throughout Hungary. Here flags are flying and houses are deco- rated. A commemorative service in the Protestant church was attended by two sons of the Hungarian patriot, the prin- cipal local authorities, deputations from | all parts of the country and the Hanover | veterans of 1848. At the-conclusion of the service immense crowds proceeded to the | cemtery to attend the laying of the cor- nerstorie of a mausoleum to be erected to the memory of the national hero. | _General Turr, a companion of the Hun- | garian exile, was present at the laying of the stone.

Neither her husband, members of her family, nor her Majesty's doctor were present at the time of her death. She was seated at a table eating a light dinner when she was seized with an attack of syncope. Dr. Guillame, who in the course of the day had remarked upon certain disquieting symptoms in the Queen’s ' condition, mediately, but her Majesty was dead be- fore he arrived. Two members of her suite were with the Queen during her last moments. As soon a death became known a gathered ontside the palace. King Leopold had left Bagneres de Lu- chon, France, for Spa and other members of the royal family have been telegraphed for. de Smit de Nayer, the Belgian Premier, will arrive here to-mOrrow. BRUSSELS, Sept. 19.—The news of the death of the Queen of the Belglans to- day came as @ great surprise, especially in view of th reassuring reports which were circulated this morning and which made ihe announcement of this evening still more of a shock. At the Royal Opera-house, where “Hamlet” was being played, the Ghost was just about to make his entrance when the manager of the theater read to the sudience a telegram announcing the death of her Majesty. The performance was discontinued. People crowded the city streets, where extra editions of the newspapers contain- ing long obituary notices of the Queen, were bought eagerly Réforme sums up the sorrowful life of her Majesty as follows: “The Queen and motheér, Marie Hen- riette, had been cruelly tried. In 1869 the death of her son, the .Duke ‘of Brabant, at the age of 10 years, caused her grief beyond measure. Later, fresh alarms and keen sorrows wrung the mother’'s heart when tragic events shattered the happi- ness of the Princess Stephani, her daugh- ter. Theé death of Prince Baldwin, son of the Count of Flanders, brother of King Leopold, was another cruel blow to her Majesty, and the fire at Laeken Castle, in which a number of treasured relies the news of the Queen’s large crowd | were destroyed, brought her a further sorrow. The Queen sought, if not to for- get, at least to Jessen her sorrow by de- voting all her energies to works of char- ity. Her attitude in the face of misfor- tune was always calm and resolute.” The demonstrations which had been ar- ranged in honor of the visit to this city to-morrow of the Boer! generals—Botha, Dewet and Delarey—haye been postponed and all the festivities planned for the oc- casion have been abandoned because of the death of the Queen. Queen Marie Henriette was the daugh- fer of the late Archduke Joseph of Aus- tria and was born in Vienna, August 23, 1836, ‘which made her just one year younger than her husband, to whom she was married August 22, 1853, about six years before his accession to the throne. Three children, two daughters and one son, resulted from this marriage. The son, the Duke of Brabant, died in January, 1869, when he was ten years of age. His loss was a great grief to his parents, especially his mother, who sor- rowed for him to the day of her own death, shunning society and court func- tions and giving her time to charity, her horses and her favorite arts. She was a painter of no mean ability, was fond of music and reading—though mainly of light literature—and kept up with the current English, German and French novels. She was the author of the opera called ‘““Wanda, ou Fa Puissance de I'Amour.” The. Queen was very fond of horses and was a familiar figure to her people mounted on her favorite steed, galloping along the suburban roads, attended by a groom, or driving in her pony cart with some female relative or attendant. In addition to her grief at the loss of her son she had the further burden in her life of the Indifference of her hus- band for her society and his attentions to other women.. This caused much sym- pathy for her and added to his unpopu- larity with his people generally. The Queen was . one of the very few people who could exercise any influence over her demented sister-in-law, Carlotta, to whom her kindness and devotion were most marked. L e i e e o ORGAN'S PLIN THE BIE PUZLLE B;'itish in Liverpool Spec- ulate on Magnate’s Scheme, LONDON, Sept. 19.—There appears to be still some doubt in Liverpool as to whether J. Plerpont Morgan will com- plete the purchase of the White Star line for the Atlantic shipping combine. The Liverpool Post says: fl“We have reason to believe that con. ary to public opinion, the last thing in the world Mr. Morgan desires: or 1nt§nds is to become owner of an Atlantic fleet, His more modest ambition is to bs an honest. broker, who, for a_consideration, eet from b {fi”‘fl'h"' ohe company and sells “Mr. Morgan, up to the present, has apparently failed to dlscoverpwhere this consideration is coming In. The mone; market is against him and the En, llsz stock market is closed to him, for ng- lish investors will not touch his shipping paper at any price, and apparently he is doubtful whether the American investor will come to his rescue. Hence the delay a Morgan’s readiness to sacrifice 000 weekly, which is the amount of interest upon the purchase price Mr, Mor- gan had agreed to pay until the pur- chase is completed, rather than take the risk of being landed with all the unap- propriated paper of the combine.’” Nevertheless the Post is inclined to think the purchase will be completed, Morgan Offers Burns Manuscripts, LIVERPOOL, Sept. 19.—The Liverpool Daily Post announces that J.

The Roumanian Min- ister called @t the United States Embassy to-day for information on the subject and was shown a copy of Mr. Hay's note. A representative of the Associated Press to-day interviewed Max Nordau, vice president of the Congress of Zion- ists, on Secretary Hay’s Roumanian note. “It is magnificent,”_ said Dr. Nordau. “After a period df darknzss during which America scemed to be immersed in Mon- roeism and the furtherance of her own material interests, she has stepped for- ward and taken a giorious step in behalf of suffering humanity. She has_torn the mask from Europe's face. Secretary Hay's circular compels the European powers who signed the treaty of Berlin to do their duty or stand convicted of conniving at the extermination of a quar- ter of a million of my brethren by th barbarians of Roumania. The Rouma- nian Government has heard the perni- cious theory enunciated by the anti-Sem- ites that that the Jews constitute a dan- ger to a young nation, and on the false pretext that Roumania is a young nation it has determined to rid the country of them. The Roumanian Government de- nied the Jews clvil rights; it closed every channel whereby they could gain their livelihood and it condemned them to ex- termination by starvation or flight. “Secretary Hay's note must bear frut. Flurope must now recall to Roumanfa the fulfillment of her duties and obligations or bear the open shame.” . WELCOMED BY BRITONS. LONDON, Sept. 19.—Secretary Hay's note to_the powers which were signatories of the Berlin treaty of 1878 on the subject of the treatment of the Jews in Rouma- nia, which was received in London about a fortnight ago, was welcomed in British official circles. The tone of the formal ac- knowledgment of the receipt of the note here indicates British approval of Ameri- car initiative in this matter, and confirms the idea that Great Britain weicomes the continued intervention of the United States in affairs in which Europe is more directly concerned, in the belief that such intervention tends fo_indirectly strength- en the hand of the British Government. Apart from thls the question of the ex- clusion of pauper aliens from Great Brit- ain is growing more acute, and anti-im- migration laws are demanded in many in- fluential quarters, so the Government is in sympathy with Hay’s protest in the hope that the wholesale export of unde- sirable immigrants from Eastern Europe m%{ be checked. e newspapers here continue to com- ment on the United States’ note. The St. James Gazette, in a semi-humorous refer- ence to it says: “The European Governments to whom it was addressed must have been disa- greeably surprised, for the note furnished fresh evidence of the growing disposition of the United States to take a seat In the orchestra of the European concert, which some other performers view with uneasiness.” AN AMERICAN HAMLET. After declaring that it is difficult to un- derstand what sresldent Roosevelt hopes to gain by the appeal to the signatories of the Berlin treaty, the St. James Ga- zette concludes ‘that the chief American motive is humanity, and says: ““This indicates " spirit of knight-er- rantry which, however creditable to a great civilized power, is likely to give the Americans plenty of occupation without increasing their popularity with the Gov- ernments of the Old World.” Hay's contrast of the enlightened sys- tem of America and the intolerant tyranny of the surviving »rlnelga.lltles.bf Europe is referred to by the St. James Gazette as ‘“not devoid of self-com- placency” and as intended for the edifica- tion of mankind. The papers refers to Hay as an “American Hamlet,” who says: “Look on this picture and then on that and say whether old Mother Europe should not be ashamed of herself.” The St. James Gazette !tlggelt' that South would welcome the Rouman- ian Jews, “for which the .

The frauds were effected by the manip- ulation of checks dnd by making false en- tries in the books, somewhat similar to those of the Liverpool bank case. It has been discovered, however, that Jellinek has $250,000 to his credit = with various Vienna firms, in addition to investments giisuegward of $500,000 in industrial enter- Jellinek later in the day was reported te have committed suicide.

A FRONTIER TOWN Lawyer Accused of the Murder of Count Bon Martini in Custody. & VIENNA, Sept. 19.—It is reported that Tullio rri, the wellbknown socialist and lawy{r of Bologna, Italy, who is ac- cused of the murder of Count Bon Mar- tini, recently found assassinated in his house in Bologna, has been arrested at the frontier town of Ala, Austrian Tyrol. The motive of the murder of Count Bon Martini was at first attributed to rob- bery. On September 12, however, Murri, a university professor, one of the best known physicians in Italy, and Count Bon Martin’s father-in-law, 'dencunced his own son, Tullio, as the murderer. The accused man, the dispatch added, admit- ted having murdered his brother-in-law, and said the crime was committed after a brawl provoked by a family quarrel. Other reports had it that a love affair was at the bottom of the crime. Count Bon Martini lived apart from his wife.

Although the official referred to de- clined to discuss the details of the British note, he insinuated that it would follow the lines of the American note and that the British authorities were in full accord with the position assumed by the United States.

C ——— WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Secretary Root has approved the\findings and rec- ommendations of the bgard appointed to conduct tests and report upon the value of disappearing gun-carriages and sea coast defenses. Colonel Wallace F. Ran- dolph, chief of artillery, was president of the board, which is composed of artillery, ordnance and navy officers and one civil- ian member. The board is unanimous in recommend- | ing the continuance of the manufacture of disappearing gun-carriages for elgh‘l- inch, ten-inch and twelve-inch guns, with- out regard tognigh or low sights. It rec- ommends th: 0 more six-inch guns be mounted on disappearing carriages, as the development of rapid-fire Six-incn guns has made it esgential that they should be mounted on barbette carriages. The board recommends increased allow- ances in order that expert mechanics may be induced to engage in this branch ot work. It also suggests that more pro- tection be given to gunners, who are tie only men serving and who are much ex- posed, by providing small movable shiclas. In conclusion the board says: “The board desires to record its opinion that the general mechanical principles in- volved in the chief elements and move- ments of the Buffington-Crozier disap- pearing carriage are admirably adapted to_their purpose.” The board recommends ment of all target practice with reduced charges as tending to create false im- pressicns in the minds of officers and men.

WITNESSED FROM STAGE. During the stampede Booker T. Wash- ington and several other prominent ne- groes were on the stage and were unwill- ing witnesses to the frightful catastrophe. None of those in the cnoir or in the pul- pit was injured in the least. For a few minutes they attempted to restore order, but, seeing their efforts were futile, wait- | e€d until the struggling erowd had ad- vanced far enough for them to pick up the dead and injured. Most of the dead are women and the pbysicians say:in many cases they faint- edrand died of suffbcation. A remark- able feature of the ralamity is that no blood was seen on any of the victims. They were either crushed or died of suf- focation. Captain Frank H. O'Brien, former Sheriff of Jefferson County and one of the most prominent citizens of Birming- ham, was a witness of the catastrophe. He lived within half a block of the church, and, hearing the commotion, went to ascertain the trouble. As he reached the front door of the church the crowd had begun blocking the entrance, and in describing he said: AN APPALLING SIGHT. “I have witnessed many appalling sights, but the wild scene at tne head of those /steps is bevond description. ‘Wildly excited negroes reached the top of the steps and began falling headiong down the incline. Others were pushed upon them, and notwithstanding the warnings from the outside, the crowd con- tinued to push. In a few minutes men and women were piled upon each other to a height of ten feet. Presently a negro woman with a baby in her arms mounted the mass, and, climbing over the bodies, | leaped to the ground without injury to herself or the infant.

The deaths were caused by everybody trying to rush out the main entrance at the same time. Inside the church not a bench was overturned and of these who were killed died in or about the“entrance. The people near the front of the church were not injured in the least.” Mayor W. M. Drenner said: “Most of those who were killed were | strangers, but their bodies will be cared | for until identified and claimed by rela- tives.” Booker T. Washington after the acci dent said: “I had just finished delivering my lec- ture on ‘Industry’ and the singing had commenced when some woman back of me was heard to scream. Some members of the choir yelled ‘Quit,” which the gai- lery understood to be ‘fire.’ This was re- peated and started the stampede. I found on investigation that a Birmingham man had stepped on the toes of a delegate from Baltimore named Ballou. Ballou resented it and made a motion as if to draw a gun. This caused the woman to scream. ““There was little excitement in the cen- ter and front of the church. The rear of the church was congested, and some of the men tried to walk out on the heads of the crowd.

The route taken by ,the aeronaut was over Stratham, Clapham Common and the smoky south side of the metropolis, across the Thames, over the populous | Chelsea district, across Kensington and | Eariscourt, out to Harrow, and then | safely past the forest buildings. He ex- | ccuted an easy descent at the little vil- lage of Bast Cole. 3 Spemcer nas been experimenting _re- centiy\with his vessel at the Crystal Pal- ! ace. Finding the conditions suitable he | suddenly decided to start off on his dan- gerous voyage late this afternoon and the usual crowd of Palace spectators gave him a hearty send-off. The airship at once rose to a height of about 300 feet. After traveling for about 2 mile with practically no deviation In his course, Spencer made various detours and seemed able to stedr his ship as casily as he might a torpedo boat. Near Ciapham Common he came fairly close to the ground for the purpose of maneu- | vering. The appearance of the air craft created intense astonishment among the thousands of persons on the streets over whose heads the aeronaut passed. Percival Spencer, referring to his brother’s trip through the air, said it ex- ceedeé the longest trip of Santos Du- mont, the Brazilian aeronaut, by nearly twenty miles. Spencer’s airship has a blunt nose and tall and does not taper in a cigars ilke point, like _the airships _ of Santos Dumont. In general outline it has the appearance of a whale. The bag, _which is seventy-five feet long, contains 20,000 cubic feet of hy- drogen gas. The frame is built of bamboo and the propeller is in front instead of behind, as is the case with Santos Du- mont’s vessels. The motive power of Spencer’s machine is a petroleum motor of about thirty horse-power and the ma- chinery is controlled by electric buttons. | The extreme speed of the new airship in | calm weather is about fifjeen miles an hour. The machine accommodates only | onie person, and its entire weight is about 600 pounds. Special features of the air- ship are devices to avold pitching and Gipping. e Invites Hill to California.

EL PASO, Texas, Sepf. 19.—Jesus Her- nandez was killed, two other Mexicans | were fatally wounded and a fourth was severely hurt in a premature explosion of a blast in_a construction camp near | here on the El Paso and Southwestern | railway, now building.

When I saw that a stam- | pede was imminent I started the choir sipging, and part of the audience joined | them. I remained until the excitement had subsided—for fully thirty minutes. One good sister, whose name I do not know, caught me firmly by the waist ard held me throughout the excitement, saying, ‘Keep still.” “I am ungdle to say positively, but there is a bability that the convention | will adjourn put of respect to the dead. | The session would have closed next Mon- | day night.
