A, Oct. 6.—Following the his evening of tne text of the r treaty of commerce and naviga- een Cuba and Great Britain, ation ¢ which is , the Havana Chamber now pend- rce gave out for publication xt of the report made by it to reign Relations Committee in re- to a for advice @s to the treaty ought to be ratified which declares emphatically against of the Cham of that as Cuba has few mer- o warshi grantec . by favor of 1 waters and would probably e effect of seriously shortening revenues of Cuba since Cuba has enough revenue ships to watch her At the same time Cuba was not a position to enlarge her marine ser- ice while the treaty would be effective extending encouragement {1y the other cting party to enterifi\\ s marine e. Under such an arra Cuban marine service probably would disappear. The report goe: that the fiberty of “pertrecharse” be i with munitio eaty to British warships would port says, is espec true at the when a treaty of navigation with the United States has been projected, the intention of which is the conces of mutual tariff reduction on products carried in American and Cuban thips. The chamber, .which is composed of anish and Cuban merchants, Cuba should look es for the securing of mutual tariff favors instead of making conces- : wholly favorable to the other con- tracting power. e — WICKED RICH MEN THREATEN RELIGION New Jersey Clergyman Says » Would - Be Rockefellers Are in Every Chureh. NEWARK, N. J.,, Oct. 6.—"The wicked h men within the church are the most erous things that threaten religion.” hat was the declaration from the Rev. d A. Wasson, rector of St. Steph- copal Church that startled the mecting of thirty/ ministers to-day. He made other sensational statements and was proceeding further aldng the same I when Chairman Rev. John McDowell ted him on the ground that the meet- ing’'s time was limited. “In my own denomination,” said Dr. ‘there is a man who admits he is seat in the United States Sen- ate and he's a pillar of his church, though every one knows he is a corruptionist. He ought to be in the penitentiary, but in- stead he is an officer of the church of God. Most of these eminent, henceforth to be notorious, financiers who have not confessed, but professed their frauds, perjuries, abuse of trusts, robbery of widows and orphans, are either members or powewful and intimate supporters of churches, “Il don’t like to point. out particular cases, but much has been sgsaild about Rocketeller and his talnted money.

Marine Surveyors Pillsbury and Metcalfe Cheat Davy Jones of His Prey. “The Alameda lives. Long live the Ala- meda!” The whistles that shrieked in the vicin- ity of Fort Point yesterday shortly after sunset did not use these words, but they shrieked their shrillest in the effort to express something to the same effect. The wreck of the Alafeda is a thing of th past. The liner Alameda. lies safely moored at her own berth_alongside the Pacific street wharf. The vessel was floated from what for a time promised to be her grave at 6:20 o’clock yesterday evening, and in a few weeks will be in as good condition as Ag far as is now known there is only one puncture in her iron skin, and | any other injury she may have sustained is not vital. When she went ashore a week ago to- day Captains A. F. Pillsbury and John Metcalfe, representing the underwriters, lost no time in preparing to get her afloat again. Before she had been ashore four hours they were installing pumps on board, and they have spared neither effort nor money in making careful prep- arations for the successful achievement of the object they had in view. They got their reward yesterday afternoon, when the Alameda, which had lain-helpless for six days, suddenly lent herself to an in- mamine awell and joined the bobbing tow- boats which had been dragging dt her for more than two hours. PUMPS AT WORK. Ten pumps, capable altogether of | throwing. out 1750 tons of water In an , hour, were installed in different parts of | Three donkey engines were the vessel. jaced on the spar deck. Beside them | placed to supply the boilers. These don- | key engines; the Alameda’s donkey en- | gine and the tug Pllot supplied the steam which yesterday’ operated nine of the | pumps. The tenth refused to work. The pumps were installed under the su- pervision of H. W. Dixon, engineer for | the underwriters, and P. J. Owens, the | Alameda’s chief engineer, both of whom worked under the direction,of Captains Pillsbury and Metcalfe. Captain Pilisbury went on board the Alameda the afternoon during his stay on board had altogether not more than eight hours’ sleep. There was not a detail of the work to which he or Captain Metcalfe did not give per- sonal attention, and to this is due in a large measure the success which attend- ed their efforts. § The hole in the hull under the boflers was patched by a diver, and at:5 o'clock | vesterday afternoon everything was ready | three large tanks of fresh water were | she struck.

For two hours the Alameda was envel- oped In steam, while down her sides streamed cataracts of water. Harnessed to her stern were the tugs Sea Queen, Sea King, Reliance and Alert. A large crowd gathered on the esplanade at Fort Point, and around tugs and liner was a small navy of other tugs, gasoline launches and Harry Goodall's yacht Lucero, which came out to cheer the Alameda on in her struggle for freedom. The sun went down with the Alameda still on the rocks. The pumps throbbed and the tugs strained. The Alameda shivered. Dr. Rice, liner’s surgeon, called up the Merchants' Exchange on the telephone which had been installed in the purser’s office. “Hello, Merchants’'! This is the Ala- | meda.. We are just leaving Fort Point. When you hear the wire break you'll know—" And just then a small boy on shore yelled, “Hooray!” ~ ~ Oft the shelf slid the liner, and when the people on the surrounding craft saw the handsome steamship, silhouetted — against the twilight sky, floating on even keel every throat repeated the boy's shout. The tug Pilot, for the Alameda, blew three whistles. Then every whistle shrieked. “Long live the Alameda!” e AUSTRIAN PARLIAMENT CLOSES IN AN UPROAR of thé Motions in Favor of Universal Suffrage. VIENNA, Oct. 6.—The lower house to-day rejected several urgency mo- tions in favor of universal suffrage after a speech by Premier Gautch von Frankenthurn. An imperial rescript was read, pro- roguing the house, and the sitting closed in an uproar. The Socialists are angry at the rejection of the urgency motions. It is reported from Budapest that the Government is determined to meet re- sistance to recruiting and paying of taxes by forcible means. BUDAPEST, Oct. 6.—A demonstration was made to-day at the graves of Count Louls Batthyanyl, who was exe- cuted by the Austrians in 1885, and ‘Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot. On the Parliament and other public buildings and along the route to the cemetery . mourning flags were dis- played and the shops were closed. —_——— Ten Men Killed by a Cave-In.

PUEBLO, Colo., Oct. 8.—A defective eleo~ trical generator started a fire at the Fre- mont coal mine, near Florence, Colo., at noon to-day. All the buildings, Including the shafthouse, were destroyed. Fifty miners were working in the mine at the time the fire started, and ten of them were rescued without difficulty. By good fortune the air compressor was not damaged by the flames, and the work of saving the other men was made possible. By the prompt work of their companions they were rescued alive through the air shaft. The men were in the main working shaft when the fire started and were unable .0 get to the surface by reason of the flames having destroyed the main shaft. Superintendent McAllister, realiz- ing their danger, signaled them to hasten to the air shaft and that ropes would be let down to rescue them. They acted at once, and while all the available men in the camp were fighting the flames, which were extinguished several hours later, Superintendent McAllister and twenty men were hoisting the miners from the air shaft one at a time. —————— Sophomores Suspended for Hasing.
