BLOWN IN FROM ALL PARTS OF THE EARTH. A Important Record of the Week As Told by the Telegraph - Latest from Foreign Shores - Crimes, Casualties, Fires, Etc. Depot Robbers Foiled. Mr. Isaac Schultes, Grand Rapids and Indiana station agent at Martin, Mich., and his assistant, Marshall Wickes, had a wild west battle with two robbers at the depot recently. Wickes and one of the robbers were wounded. The robbers had blown open the depot safe. A burglar alarm ran from the depot to Schultes' house, and when the robbers began work Schultes and Wickes appeared with Winchesters and ordered the bandits to throw up their hands. Instead they opened fire and a fusillade of shots was exchanged. Wickes fell badly wounded, but will recover. One of the robbers was shot in the leg, but both escaped. The unwounded man stole a horse from a fanner's barn and rode to Grand Rapids. When his horse became exhausted he stole another. Both the Martin robbers were easily captured later, one at Gunn Lake and the other at Wayland. Both were tracked through the snow by posses of citizens. Dreadful Fire Averted. The timely discovery by a special officer of a miscreant in the act of starting a fire in the basement of John Wanamaker's extensive department store in Philadelphia, no doubt saved a serious conflagration and possibly the lives of many persons. The building was crowded with thousands of shoppers and employes, about ninety per cent. of whom were women. The flames were seen suddenly to spring from a pile of wicker baskets, and at the same moment an officer seized tbe man, who was stooping over the baskets in the act of striking a second match. The man gave his name as Michael Morgan and was locked np in default of $2,000 bail. Two boxes of matches and a bottle of turpentine were found in his pockets. Morgan said be had no home. The Union Broke; A special from Managua, Nicaragua, says: The attempt to affect a coalition between Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador, to be conducted under a common administration and to be known as the United States of Central America, has failed completely. The federal organizers have formally declared the union dissolved, the three States resuming respectively absolute sovereignty. The collapse was due to the failure of the troops of Honduras, acting on behalf of the federal organizers, to suppress an outbreak in Salvador against the proposed federation and force Salvador into the union.

Choate for the English Mission. Washington special: Among the visitors at the White House Wednesday was Joseph Choate of New York. Mr. Choate called to pay his respects to the President and remained only a few moments. His presence here, however, has revived the rumor that he will be appointed Ambassador to London. Nothing conclusive could be learned as to the President's intention with regard to the matter. Filipinos to Fight. Advices from the Philippine Islands any the insurgents there have decided not to recognize the cession of the islands to the United States and they will resist to the last. It is also claimed that the United States will require 70,000 troops to put down the rebellion, and it is alleged that the insurgents hold 10,000 Spanish prisoners whom they will force to serve against the Americans.

Fred W. Ganter, the champion bicycle rider of northern New York, killed himself at Pamelia. Gamer's wife died the other morning. The husband took a rifle and went to the room where his wife's remains had been laid out and shot himself. The second-class protected cruiser Kasaigi, built by the Cramps for the Japanese Government and which left New York recently for Newcastle, sustained considerable injury by colliding with and damaging a bridge abutment at the latter place. The Bank of Hornellsville, N.Y., of which ex-State Forestry Commissioner F. G. Babcock is president, posted a notice to the effect that the bank had gone into voluntary liquidation. The notice also announced that creditors would be paid dollar for dollar. Joseph Schroppler, while being chased by a workman in a factory at Trenton,

N. J., tumbled into a vat of vitriol. Not realizing his danger, after being helped out, he started for home, but on the way the acid began eating into his flesh. Both legs must be amputated.

Prairie fires have played havoc in Oklahoma and Indian territory. Millions of tons of hay in bale and bulk have been burned, and no less than 100 residences have been destroyed. Several lives have been lost in these prairie fires. Fire broke out in the Robert Keith furniture and carpet establishment at Kansas City. The fire was gotten under control at 7 o'clock, with an estimated loss of $210,000 on stock and $40,000 on the building; total insurance, $185,000. Six persons were killed, ten dangerously wounded and fifteen to twenty others badly injured by the explosion of one of the boilers in the river steamer T. C. Walker, near Fourteen Mile Slough, Cal. Escaping steam added to the horrors of the disaster. At Millersburg, Ohio, County Treasurer F. F. Smith discovered that both outer doors of the vault in his office had been blown off by cracksmen. The inner vault was not molested, but $200 was stolen, including $60 in pennies and $75 in lodge money. Kansas has been experiencing a coal famine, the worst ever known in the State. Hundreds of the smaller towns have been without coal. Missouri and Illinois coal was shipped to the State, but this, with the Kansas supply, did not meet the emergency. A terrible windstorm in the oil district of Los Angeles, Cal., caused much damage. Two oil tanks, holding 1,000 gallons of oil, were punctured by falling derricks and the oil ran through the streets. Houses and barns were crushed under the falling derricks. No casualties are reported. J. L. Loins, a prominent farmer living across the Mississippi river from New Madrid, Mo., in Kentucky, was murdered for money by two negroes and his body thrown into the river. One of the negroes has been captured and shot to death by a mob which is now on the trail of the other murderer. Because the indictment did not state that Cass was the custodian of the bill, a demurrer to the indictment against John H. Flanagan, charged with attempting to bribe Silas Cass, an employe of the Legislature of 1897, to destroy the St. Louis Civic Federation school bill, has been sustained in the Circuit Court in Jefferson City. The fact that Vice-President Mitchell and T. W. Davis of the executive board of the United Mine Workers of America should have been in conference with M. D. Ratchford in Massillon, Ohio, at the time when the report that another national strike of miners was shortly to be ordered, seemed significant. But all three deny that anything of the sort is contemplated. The St. Louis Court of Appeals has handed down an opinion holding that the neglect of religions duties cannot hamper a man in a benefit order. Veronica Franta sued the Bohemian Roman Catholic Central Union for a benefit of $1,000 on the life of her husband. Payment was refused on the ground that Franta was not a member in good standing because he neg-

lected religious duties. The court held that this restriction was calculated to deprive a person of his religions freedom, which the law and constitution guaranteed.

SOUTHERN.

Holt, Troop F, Tenth United States cavalry, stationed at Huntsville, Ala., will be executed for murder. This is the first death sentence passed upon an enlisted man since the beginning of the war, and for many years previous. Ethel Bodfish, aged 14 years, and Blanche Howard, 8 years old, were arrested at Little Rock, Ark., charged with robbing a dry goods store. A considerable quantity of goods taken from the store was found in their possession. The girls also robbed the Provident Relief Association house the same night, securing a large amount of clothing donated to the poor of the city. A. J. Demules, known as "the Turquoise King of the Jarillas," was murdered at his turquoise mine forty miles north of El Paso, Texas, in New Mexico, by a Mexican employe.

Denudes was instantly killed, one bullet passing through his neck and the other lodging in his back. The assassin was captured.

FOREIGN. The mad mullah, who, with J00 men, has been threatening to pass the Swat frontier, has crossed the Swat river, and

fighting has taken place between bis followers and the Indo-British forces. An umbrella maker of Oldenburg, who boasted that he had been chosen by lot to assassinate Emperor William on the tatter's return from Palestine, has been sentenced to three years' imprisonment after having been convicted of leste majesty.

Touching the expulsion of Austrians from Prussia, Count von Thnn. the Austrian premier, declared in the liciclisrntli that it greater consideration be not shown Austrian subjects the Vienna Government will not hesitate to adopt retaliatory measures. Trieste nnd the district round about were flooded by a tremendous tidal ware, which did much damage to property and ships and caused the loss of many lives. There was a violent earthquake throughout the southern provinces of Austria. From vnrious causes twenty-eight lives were lost. The Cuban colonial cabinet formally resigned to Gen. Jiminez Castellauns, the new governor nnd captain general of Cuba, their respective portfolios. Gen.

France fears the tree pest known as the San Jose scale. Tbe trade affected is very small. While a religious ceremony was in progress In the vestry room of the Church of St. Germain des Pros, nt Paris, where many girls from the schools were in attendance, the cinematograph lamps were suddenly extinguished and n fearful panic ensued, everybody instantly recalling the charity bazaar fire. The priests finally succeeded in allaying the panic, but not before forty girls were Injured by trampling, many being seriously hurt.

IN GENERAL.

The Fourth Tennessee regiment has hecn ordered from Camp I'uluuU, Knoxville, Teuu., to Snntn Clara City, Cuba, and tbe Sixth Ohio to Cienfnegos. The Great Northern Railroad Company is said to have placed with West Virginia operators contracts for 500,000 tons of coal at $1.23 a ton, delivered in Sandusky, Ohio, throughout 1SJH. Lord Strathcona, Canada's high commissioner in London, now in Montreal, confirms the rumor that he has deeded $3,000,000 to relatives, thus saving $2T0,000 in succession duty in case of his dentil.

S. Hardy, premier of Ontario, is to be knighted by tbe Queen for his faithful services to Canada and Great Britain. He is strongly in favor of closer relations with Great Britnin and author of the legislation against Michigan lumbermen. Frank C. Ives, the world's champion billiard player, will probably never again be seen in a championship contest. His retirement is duo to the fact that he has consumption. He finds that his strength is insufficient to permit him in engaging in a difficult game. The steamer Forrnlon, from Skaguay, brings hews of disnster to tbe steamer Utopia which nearly sent that vessel and all on board to the bottom of Gastineanx channel. As the Farralon was entering the cbnnncl she found tbe Utopia drifting helplessly toward the reef extending from Point Ardena on Admiralty Island. The Utopia had lost her propeller and a terrible gale was blowing, with the thermometer below zero. The Farrnion succeeded in getting a hawser aboard and tbe Utopia was towed out of danger and taken to Juneau. Bradstreet's views the business situation thus: "Winter storms and a holiday hare interfered with wholesale demand and distribution, but later clear, cold ivcather is n compensating fenture. indue ing heavy retail business in seasonable goods. In general business circles most developments have been favorable, nota

ble among which might be mentioned general advances In prices of cereals, provisions, groceries, cotton, steel and pig Iron, the latter chiefly at Eastern and Sontbern points, continued heavy general export trade, a better tone in the market for hides and leather, more firmness in cotton goods and active stock speculation, all of which are reflected in the heavy bank clearing total. Unfavorable features are few, prominent among which is the continued dullness at wholesale of wool and woolen goods. The movement of wbent and other breadstuff. continues lnrge. Wheat (Including flonrl shipments fcr the week aggregate 5,824,726 bushels, against 5.679.141 bushels last wetk. Corn exports for the week aggregate 3.993.84(1 bushels, against 3,331,724 bushels last week."

NEW BISHOP OF IOWA,

Rev. Dr. Morrison Fteps to the Head

fleeted bishop of the dlnrcfe of Iowa ou

of Cedar Rapids, the nomination being; seconded iiy the llev. l)r. Morrill of Clinton, who demanded that if any one had charges to make against Dr. Green they should be Hindu in open convention.

George F. Henry of lies Moines oppos

ed the election of Dr. Green by charges, the evidence in support of which was in the form nf n long typewritten manuscript

which Mr. Henry admitted to be the re

port of the detective who had been hired

0 investigate the life of Dr. Green. It

wns n mnss of alleged evidence gathered nt Shnwneetown, 111., nt Chicago nnd nt Cednr Rapids.

After the reading of the so-called testi

mony Mr. Henry concluded his argument against the election of Dr. Green by declaring that this evidence had not been presented ns facts which had aetnnlly happened, but as tending to show thnt there were mnuy rumors of misconduct on the part of Dr. Green, nnd Ihnt he wns therefore not n lit man to elect to the sacred office. He urged the convention to elect some man whoso whole life had been above the tnlnt of suspicion.

in answer lo the report rend before the

convention by George F. Henry Dr. Green

arose nnd addressed the convention as follows: "Standing here iu the presence of this altar of Almighty God, standing here before you, friend or foe ns you mny be, 1 simply make the one denial that an innocent mnn dare make, invoking on himself the judgment of the advent God. Of each.

of every allegation you have listened to, on the honor of n Christian man, I declare

myself absolutely innocent, and mny God judge between my accusers and myself."

Col. Charles A. Clark of Cednr Rapid spoke early in the afternoon for two hours

in defense of Dr. lireen, nnn produced ad

On motion of Dr. Green, the election of Dr. Morrison was made unanimous. REGULARS FOR GARRISONS.

Few Volunteer Regiment Likely to Be tent to Cuba, If Congress early in the session should make provision for the increase of the regular army it is quite probable that none of the volunteer regiments now iu the service will be sent to do garrison duty iu Cuba. The troops first to be sent to Cuba will be composed largely of regular regiments, so far da they are available. Plans are maturing for the lutisier out or ns mauy volunteers now iu service as is possible. The demand of the enlisted men to

go home and leave the service is growing

greater and greater every day. It is well known that the volunteers at Manila desire to come home, and the War Department is considering the question of sending regular regiments to replace those vol

unteers irs soon as arrangements can be made. The regulars who are available for this service comprise those regiments

on the western coasts which snw service at Santiago. CUBANS USE AMERICAN FLAG. The Insurgents Maintain Order Until United States Troop Arrive. The Cuban Insurgents who took posses

wheat lies under snow there now. It was uot stacked, atid the rniu came and prevented thrashing for several weeks, and was followed by suow, which prevents its being thrashed nt all. None of it will be lit for market for flour purposes. This wheat is all owned by farmers iu a small way, who did not have the money or inclination to hire help to put it in stacks or buy machines to thrash it iiefore the wet season came on.

BLANCO CALLS WAR UNHOLY. Say Fpauish People Will Ratify Any Treaty Offered Them. The New York Herald prints an interview between its Havana correspondent nnd Gen.

After denouncing the United States for causing "an unholy war," Gen. Blanco said he cou'd see mnuy benetits thnt Spain might derive from defeat. He snid that the people of Cuba and the Philippines were Spauish iu sentiment, and soon ail bitter feeling would wear away. Commercial relations would be revived ind Spain would find in her old colonics a greater market than ever before. "Spain's prosperity may dawn to-morrow," said Gen. Blanco. "1 believe it will." Gen. Blanco said the Un' Hi States had taken the Philippines, but tie thought the American people were not really in favor of it.

PHILIPPINOS ARE UGLY. Insarircuta Dec.de Not to Recognise Cession of Island, Madrid has advices from tho Philippine Islands saying the insurgents there hare decided not to recognize the cession of the islands to the United States, nnd that they will resist to the last. It is also claimed thut the Cuitcd States will require 70,000 troops to put dowu the rebellion, and that the insurgents hold 10,000 Spanish prisoners whom they will force to serve against the Americans. A delegation from the Spanish chambers of commerce had nil audieuce with the Queen Regent and presented to her majesty a petition in favor of reforms. The delegation also asked the Queen Regent to intercede for the release of the Spanish prisoners in the Philippine Islands and to pardon the Filipinos who have been transported to Spain.

SPAIN MAKES AN ABSOLUTE SURRENDER. Cedes Philippine to United Mates Without Restrictions-Gives Up "to Avoid the Horrors of Wnr" Sulu Group Included - Knrnpe Resents, Spain has ceded nil the Philippines w ithout restrictions to the I'nitcd States for .20,000.00(1. doing so at the joint meeting ol the pence commissioners iu Paris Monday. The acceptance by Spain of the terms of the I'uited States wns accomplished by a memorandum setting forth that Spain yields only to superior force. This decision was reached us the result of pressure upon the Spanish commission, not so much from Madrid as from the lowers. The Americans' demands included the acquisition of the whole of the Philippine nod Sulu groups for $20,000,00K. and it is also understood tl.e United States will purchase the Caroline group. The question of the debt of Cuba is left unsettled. The answer of the Spaniards was so short thnt less than ten minutes whs consumed in rcudf ring it into Kuglish for the Americans. The Spanish Government utilized the last six days, during which Senor Montero ltios wns conducting correspondence with Judge Day regarding details of the American offer, to j.mind once nmre the European chancellories upon the paint whether she could rely on uuy aid toward a limitation of American aggression iu case she rejected the America u terms.

The American commission declined to accede to either of the throe alternative propositions made by the Spaniards. President Day of the American commission notified President Hios of the Spanish body, in reply to a request for more time,

thnt the American commission could not modify the deninud it had made for a final reply. The technical work ot preparing the treaty and negotiating about other matters named in the American ultimatum will probably occupy about a fortnight. Resented by Kurope. A Paris correspondent declares there is no denying that the whole European continent will bitterly resent American acquisition of the Philippines. This sentiment is not confined to diplomats, but especially in Paris it is the opinion constantly heard iu the highest French society. It is known that u high official of the French foreign otlice said: "The appearance of the Americans in Kasteru waters is a disturbing factor to the whole of Europe. Americans, as is well known, lack diplomatic manners and will surely bring constant trouble to all of us."

The city physicians reported they were not certnin ns to the nature of the disease. Some think it is the huhnnU plague and others think it is Asiatic cho! era. With this nlnrmiug report the board declnrcd a quarantine. There are something over 20.Kn Chinnim-n living in the district known ns Chinatown. It is without doubt the filthii-st spot in any American city, nnd is just the place where tbe plngue or cholera might thrive.

For the First Nine Months of Current Year Our Exports Have Increased $100,000,000, While Onr Import f how a Falling Off of f 100,000,000.

Protection works a double iK-iicHt and produces some surprising results. An Increase of over $100,000,000 In exports Hid a decrease of ovor $100,000,000 In imports is the record of our foreign joinmeree for the nine months ending

Sept. 30. 1808, compared with tbe corresponding nine months of the preceding year. No corresponding period In any yenr of the country's history has shown such a record. No other country In tho world has ever equaled this record.

The total exports of the nine months ending Sept. 30, 1808, nre practically twice ns groat as those of the corresponding nine months of 1888, while :be Imports show a reductior. of 124 per cent., ns compared with 1888, despite the growth of our population In the meantime. The imports of merilintidise In the ulne months Jv.st ended re less than In any corresponding period siuce 18S3, when the consuming ?apacity of the country was but little more than half what It now Is. The jalns in all classes of producllon have been enormous during the past decade. Tbo exports of the product of the mines wliich for the nine mouths ending Sept. ?,0, 1808, are In round numbers (30,000,000, have increased itiore than M per cent, since 1888. Exports of the productions of the forests, which were $18,775,141 In the corresponding nine months of 1888, are In the nine months lust ended $30,775,578. Agricultural products, which In nine months of 1888 were $304,717,362. are In the nine months just ended $571,294,055. Exports of domestic manufactures, which iu the nine months of 1888 were but $09,842,972, are In the nice months pf 189S $227,822,045. It tlitm appears that the manufacturers have In the period 1888-'M enjoyed a larger growth In exports of their productions than iny other clatis of our great producers. The grent gain In the ratio of exports to imports that has taken place In the first three quarters of the current fiscal year under the operation of tbe Dlngley tariff is apparent in tbe following table showing the total Imports and total exports for nine months ending Sept. 30 In each year from 1888 to 1893: Vine months of year mding Sep- Total Total :ember 30. imports. exports. 1888 $544,511,034 $445,355,256 1.889 582.879.612 fi2,558,ll IS90 625.821,959 Wi3,408,545 1891 027,145,819 1127,670,414 1892 C36.l0tl,009 053,836,620 IS93 625,331,072 !7,04O,lll 1894 503.5S9.571 1562,278,557 1895 600,981,988 546,424,359 IS90 522.088,289 '150,956.354 IS97 588.743,315 732.508.865 1898 475,300,893 S54.203.502

I Mat tcr of Patriotism and Good f ene The Pulled States stands sixteenth n the list of twenty-five wine producing countries, 'vltb a production of 30,J03.470 gallon!; In 1897. Tbls country will stand better than that J Jst as soon is the American people are cured of tbe delusion that tbe grade and value nf a wine are determined by n foreign label. American wines, like many other articles of domestic production, whili are unfairly handicapped by popalar Ignorance of their true value, must fight their' way to the front by sheer force of merit. They are doing this very rapidly, and tbe time Is not far llstant when a large proportion of the millions of dollars now sent abroad to pay for foreign wines will be kept at home, and when Amerlcann will spend their money on American wines because they are the cheapest, the most wholesome, the purest, tbe most palatable, nnd in every way the best. Patriotism aud good sense are on tbe side of the American wine-growers.

What Is Expected of Cong-rem. The Republican party will undoubtKlly be In control of the next Congress, the sanguinary hopes of the hemociats to the contrnry notwithstanding, and upon the shoulders of its statesmen will fall tbe nantlc of responsibility. The ability of ih Republicans to satisfactorily tlecids great public questions has already been amply attested, and the country will have no fear of the result in this cae. Shipbuilding and ocean commerce are more Important at this time to national prosperity aud independence titan anything else we ktiow of. Therefore tbe measure of protection which Congress will give with the object of promoting American ship-building interests and restoring tbe American merchant marine will be of such a character as to be jntlrely effective In Its purpose and

give tbe assurance of being maintained,

for a long period of years. New Orleans Item. Fentiraent vs. Common Sense. It Is apparent that the United States Government can not afford for the sake of reciprocity with 8 little country like Canada to wreck a home Industry which supports as many people as the ?ntlre population of Canada. There are about five million people !n those provinces, and there are three million people In the United States supported by the lumber Industry, without including those which the shipment of the products and tbe working of the by-products employ. It costs $3 a thousand feet more In wages to produce lumber In this country than in Cnrada, and the present duty complained of by the Canadian dealers Is but $2 a thousand. The present tariff has revived tbe Amerlcat! lumber trade and should not be disturbed for the sake of largely sentimental considerations In dealing with a foreign country.-Topeka Capital

Maintain the Standard. The policy of tbe United States b?lng to maintain a higher standard of com fort and happiness In the United States, through higher wages than obtain abroad, that standard must be

maintained under the American Bag
