CHICAGO, Nov. 22.—Arrangements were compieted here to-day by the representa- tives of Western lines for the withdrawal of over 1100 reduced tariff schedules which have been filed sinc? the EUnited States | courts issued injunctions preventing rail- roads from giving preferential rates. It has been agreed to restore all rates, except those on packing-house products and cattle, on December 15, and to main- tain the restored tariffs absolutely. This action is probably the most im- portant from a traffic standpoint taken by Western roads in vears, and will have a marked effect on the Tevenues of 1903, provided it develops that the tariffs can | be maintained. Traffic men engaged in the work of preparing to take out the re- duced tariffs stated to-night that the res- toration «f rates €o the basis of January 1, 1902, would 2dd fully 25 per cent to the revenue received on commodities affected and fuily 10 per cent to the aggregate gross rvevenues received by Western roads. —_———— Triple Tragedy in Texas. BALLINGER, Tex., Nov. 22—Accord- ing to a repor' received here to-night from Wingate, an inland town, about thirty miles north of Ballinger, a triple tragedy was enacted there.. C. J.

No cause has been assigned for the tragecy. — NDON, Nov. 22.—It is announced that (hi_‘innnrurlltm of the Russian railroad from Erivan, a town of Russia, 115 miles from Tifiis, to the Persian fromtier. comi- menced at the beginning of 1903, vice president, | | delegate to Canada, | latest publication as | HERR KRUPP, GUNMAKER, IS DEAD | l =3 | ERLIN, Nov. 22—Herr Krupp, the great gunmaker and the ‘wealthiest man in Germany, died suddenly from apoplexy this af- | ternoon at his villa at Huegel. and a report of his condition was tele- grapbed daily to his wife, who has been several months in Jena under medical treatment. Concerned by the latest dis- patch regarding her husband, Frau Krupp left Jena yesterday, accompanied by Professor Binswanger of the medical faculty of the university there. She will reach Essen early Sunday morning. Ac- cording to the medical reports his phy- sicians succeeded in restoring Herr Krupp to consclousness, but thelr patient soon | relapsed into insensibility. He died at 3 o'clock. In the meantime the directors of the Krupp works and Herr Krupp's solicitors had been summoned. They | beld a consultation after his death and | caused a bulletin announcing his demise to be posted at the works at Pere. At noon rumors were in circulation in Essen that Herr Krupp was dying, but the public had no accurate information regarding his condition until the °great works which dominate the city and fur- | nish employment to 43,00 men were | closed. | RUMORS OF SUICIDE. | The first question that every one asked was: “Did Herr Krupp commit suicide?” | There seems to be no testimony to sup- | port thi suggestion, the physicians in attendance resolutely asserting that the case was simply one of apoplexy. That | considerable time elapsed after death be- | fore the news was announced is taken by | scme persons to indicate that the cause of death is somewhat obscure. Near | friends of the dead man who were aware !of the great mental distress into which the recent publication in the Vorwaerts had thrown him—reproduced, as it was, in adjacent cities and telegraphed over the world—are confident that the charges | contained in the story induced his death. ‘ Herr Krupp's villa, where he dled, is several miles from Essen. The great gun- | maker lived there in almost feudal fash- ion, and the place to-night is unapproach- able, nobody being admitted within the gates except the police, the directors | of the Krupp works and the undertakers | and their assistants. The officials and employes of the Krupp | works yesterday called a public meeting | for to-day, with the object of expressing Vorwaerts. The meeting assembled at | 11:30 o’clock this morning, but before a ceputation could be appointed to convey to Herr Krupp the expressions of loyalty and confidence it was learned that his condition was too serious for him to re- ceive such a deputation. Herr KXrupp | was not regarded as a hard master by his workmen. He established various in- | stitutions at Essen for their benefit and built hundreds of model houses on sani- tary principals for their use, charging | them a moderate rent. 4 LEAVES A BIG FORTUNE. Moderate estimates of the fortune of the deceased place it at $125,000,000, and | his annual income during his recent years of prosperity at $10,000,000. Herr Krupp made a great sum by supplying armor plate for the new navy. Besides his iron works and shipyards he had an interesj in many financial enterprises, and recent- | 1y had acquired extensive coal properties {in connection with the North German Lloyd Steamship Company. Emperor William was very fond of Herr Krupp and frequently visited him. The Lmperor often had Herr Krupp as his guest at Berlin. As a special mark of distinction his Majesty conferred upon the gunmaker the title of ‘“excellency,” which usually is confined to the highest officials, Embassadors, etc. When the Kiel Yacht Club was organized by about twenty nava! officials the Emperor: and Herr Krupp were present. Admiral von Senden-Bibran, chief of the Emperor's | naval cabinet, remarked: “We ought.to have 2 clubhouse.” ““There is only one man who can give it | to us,” said the Emperor, as he glanced |at Herr Krupp, who replied that he | would think about it. Out of this sug- gestion gréw the present beautiful yacht | clubhouse and the adjacent hotel and restaurant overlooking the Kiel fiord. | This group of buildings cost $1,000,000. Herr Krupp rented the house to the club for §250 a year, and it was expected that the building would be presented to the yacht club. Provision for this gift is be. | lieved to have been made in Herr Krupp's will. Alfred Krupp, better known as “Herr” Krupp, was born at Essen, Rhenish Prussia, ip 1835. After the death of his father, Alfred Krupp, in 1881, the founder cf the present gigantic iron and steel works at Essen, with whom he was as- sociated from his boyhood, he was in sole control of the enormous concern. Like his father he was a great student and in- ventor and added to the scope and ca- | Herr Krupp had been ill for several days, | indignation at the charges made by the | FIREMEN FALL Number of Lives Lost in a Wisconsin Disaster. Flames Destroy Wharf and Damage Will Reach a Helf Million. ASHLAND, Wis., Nov. 22.—The Wiscon- sin Central ore dock was destroyed by fire | this afternoon; the loss involved ~being ‘abau(_ $525,000. In falling the dock carried ! with it a number of firemen and dockmen | and & number of lives were lost, just how | many will probably not be known for sev- jeral days. A numler of badly injured fire- | mer. were rescued from the burning ruins, | The known dead are: GUS ANDERSON, upper dockman, fore- man of crew. WILLIAM LINDON, driver of hose cart, The seriously injured are Andy O'Toole, | firemau, unconsclous; will die. Charles | Works, fireman, paaly injured on head; | may die. Vivian Young injured internally jand skull fractured, may die. The fire caught about 5 o’clock, pre- sumably {rom a boat unloading lumber across the slip, and before the firemen ar- rived the entire ore dock, half a mile long, | was in flames. An engine was run'on the { tramway as near to the fire as possible, and half a hundred men began tearing apart the timbers connecting the tram- way and the dock to keep it from fall- ing with the dock. Suddenly the dock gave way, falling with a crash and carrying with it 200 feet of the tramway, the engine just barely es- caping the fall into the bay. Several hun- dred people were under the tramway, but most of them escaped with slight injuries. As the broken tramway and the burning dock fell, fully a dozen men were seen to go down in the ruins. The wreck fell into twenty feet of water. The fire is still raging and Murray’s saw mill is in danger. Mowat's mill is also threatened. I’The dock was valued at half a million { and the ore at $25,000. L e e e o pacity of the plant until at the time of i his death it covered more than 1050 acres | of ground and gave employment thereon | to over 20,000 men. This is exclusive of | | those employed in mines at a distance from Essen, of which Herr Krupp had many, both of iron and coal. He was the largest individual industrial employ- ler in' the world. Alfred Krupp, though then quite a voung man, was said to have been the de- | signer of the guns used by the Germans at the siege of Paris, the high efficiency of which made the name of Krupp known in every part of the world. . Herr Krupp was also very successful in the production of armor plate of high | Tesisting power. His attention was not, | however, given entirely to the produc- tion of war material, as his works were also devoted to the production of many | articles belonging to peaceful industrial pursuits. GOAL DISPUTE WITH THE DOCK AGAIN DEFERRED) GOES AGROUND, Commission Adjourns to Await Action on Issues. Attorneys on Both Sides Hope for an Egarly Adjustment. SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 22.—The Anthra- cite Coal Strike Commission adjourned to- day to meet December 3, and it is the hope and expectation of all parties .to the controversy that when the arbitrators again meet an agreement of points in dispute will be ready for submission for approval to the commission. Attorneys on both sides express tiie opinion that an amicable adjustment will be reached, and predict that the Commissioners will make only one more trip to this city. Before adjourning to-day a sub or con- ciliation committee was appointed, in or- der that the wishes of the commission may be officially voiced with regard to any matter that might arise in the in- terval. The commrittee, which is made up of Commissioners Watkins, Parker and Clark, this afternoon called into confer- ence as many of the attorneys represent- ing the parties before the commission as could be gathered on short notice and stated to them the attitude of the com- mission. After the meeting a statement was given out in order that the public may know the position of the arbitrators regarding the new turn of affairs. This statement follows: It appears that there is some misunderstand- ing or some lack of understanding in connec- tion with the recess taken by the Commission and the suggestion in that connection that possibly the contestants might be able to agree upon some of the important points involved. The recess was desired by counsel for botl sides because authoritative statements of hours and wages which are being prepared are not yet ready. The suggestion was made that per- hars some agreement might be reached tween the principals which would simplify the problem and assist in reaching proper conclu- sions. The chairman, speaking for the Com- mission, stated that the Commission would gladly co-operate so far as could be consist- ently done in furthering an effort to reach- an_understanding through conciliatory means and methods. The idea has gone out in some quarters that the matter is to be settled without further effort or responsibility on the part of the Com- mission. ~ This idea is entirely wrong. ' The Commission will, as announced, cheerfully en- courage a concillatory soirit and action be- tween the partles to the controversy, but the Commission has not eurrendered and will_not surrender jurisdiction of any matters which have been referred to it, nor responsibility for the conclusion reached. No adjustment can be made which does not by Its terms commend itself strongly enough to secure the approval of the* Commission and its incorporation in the award. ‘With a view and for the purpose of remov- ing any misunderstanding which might exist, the sub-committee of the Commission invited such of the counsel representing the several interests involved as could be reached to meet this afternoon. Those at the meeting were Clarence S. Darrow and Henry D. Loyd of Chicago and James F. Lenahan of Wilkesbarre, representing the mine workers; David ‘Willcox, vice president and general coun- sel of the Delaware and Hudson Com- 1902, MILES BONT Transport Ingalls With the General Aboard Strikes Reef. Weather Iq Calm, However, and the Vessel Is Not in Danger. MANILA, Nov. 22—The United States transport Ingalls, with General Miles on board, struck on a reef while entering the harbor of Legaspi, Albay, Southeast Luzon, to-day, and Is still aground. The vessel is not in any danger, how- ever. The weather is calm and it is ex- pected the steamer will float at the next high tide. . Communication with the shore is main- tained. If the Ingalls does not float at high tide relief will be dispatched to her from this city. e POSTOFFICE EMPLOYE LOSES SACKS OF COIN Ten Thousand Dollars Stolen Through the Carelessness of the Carrier. CHICAGO, Nov. 22.—The Chicago post- office was robbed of probably $10,000 to- day in a most daring manner. The rob- ber made his escape without leaving any clew to his identity. Twb registered mail sacks, containing the money, which had just been picked up from two of the downtown sub-sta- tions, were left in an unprotected wagon in_front of the Masonic Temple, while the mail-carrier went into the building to gather mail that had accumulated there. The carrier was gone only a moment, but when he returned his horse and wagon had disappeared. While the car- rier had been in the building the robber, who had evidently been waiting his op- portunity, jumped into the rig and drove away. The rifled sacks and the horse and rig were afterward found where the thief had abandoned them. The street was full of people at the time of the rob- bery, but no one seems to have noticed VATICAN'S PRODATARY IS CALLED 31 MAG. MOLINEUX'S SEGRET MOTIVE Story That She Believes Her Husband Killed Barnet. Knicksrbocker Club Scandal Revived by Her Suit for Divorce. Special Dispatch to The Cail. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—A Journal spe- cial from Sioux Falls, 8. D., says: Mrs. Molineux will not state precisely the grounds on which her intended suit will be based, nor reveal all that lies behind it, but those who are familiar with the his- tory of the Molineux case have come to the conclusion that the divorce question dates far back in the case. That it had its roots in the old stories that came out | relative \to the relations between Mrs. Molineux when she was Blanche Chese- borough with Henry C. Barnet, and the circumstances of the poisoning of the Knickerbocker ciub member. Mrs. Molinoux was in love with Barnet and did not accept Molineux until after Barnet's death by poisoning. The testi- mony in the first trial of Molineux led her to believe that Barmgt was the vietim of foul play. Brockhoff-Van der Naillen Betrothal.
