nothing has been seen or heard, sinc the accident. Charles Hackett was found In the ruins in the rear, to which approach was made through the alley. . Before he was removed In the ambulance " he reported there had been four or live girla on the floor with him. Charles Herbert, a packer, employed by John Davis & Co... was. on the third floor when the explosion occurred. "I felt the crash and was surrounded by flying debris before I could realize what had happened. Th vinegar barrels and acid carboys came down on us. I don't know how I got out. I know I breathed the fresh air after a ?crimble 3mong the ruins, and knew I had escaped. There- were four others In the builulnc that. I know of Alex. Campbell, Annit Tapley, Kittle Leonard and Jo Vinter. the bookkeeper. I don't know who got out alive." - TWENTY-SEVEN' c MISSING. From the lists of tenants an J employes secured It seems certain that fifty people In all were In the collapsed section. There are t III twenty-seven persons unaccounted for, an J it Is no more than fair to presume that most of them are among the dead. At every hour reports are received of others who are m.lsslng. and whose relatives and friends have been unable to find any. trace of them. Two of the injured who are In the hospital will probably not recover. Of those who are now In the ruins. It is impossible that anv

will be rescued alive. Those who were not killed outright have undoubtedly perished, either from suffocation or exhaustion. The only hope is that some of those who are reigned missing may . be afe with frienls. The total death rate will not be known before to-morrow night. It ma- be even longer before the workmen reach the basement floors of the Ill-fated building anJ the total number of lives lost Is known to a certainty. T.ie work of removing debris and searching for bodies is coiner on 1L night by the aij of electric I'ghts. but the task is a big one. Carelessness is undoubtedly the cause of the disaster, but where the responsibility rest is as yet problematical. Thomas Thompson, the engineer, was painfully Injured. He said he coul i assign no reason for the explosion. City Boiler Inspector McGregor says he inspected the boilers last August and had found them up to the rejy irvmcnin. romn 01 me employes in ine builJlng assert that the boilers were oi l an 1 were known to be unsafe. Still others have a. theory- that the explosion was caused by chemicals owned by the Davis company, stored in the basement. Another circumstance is also considered significant, namely that carpnters were engaged in shoring up the floor of the second story directly over the boilers. In order to sustain the weight of a. heavy machine which haJ been placed In Dunlap's machine shop. The men who were at work on this job were buried in the ruins. Uttle credence Is given to any theory, however, except the original ore, namely, that the boilers exploled. demolishing the lower floors anu knocking away the supports from the upper ones, which fell with the weight of the machinery, etc., which, they supported. The most shocking scene attending the disaster was a struggle between Coroner Butler and an undertaker in the employ of Gles Bros., against under taker Frank Gibbs. The latter clung to the stretcher while the body was being carried cut through the" crowd. As the spectators were- becoming excited over the ghoulish scene, the police. In the interests of order, rushed Gibbs outside the fire lines and would not permit him to return. The property loss will be entire for the owners of the building and tenants. It Is not believed that the ordinary insurance policies cover the loss by explosion. The loss on the ruined part of the building Is about SCO.one. The. Evening Journal loses abcut JIO.COQ by the destruction of its machinery, etc. The total loss of the other tenants Is placed at something over $30,000. XEW YORK'S DIG FIIIE. Lo Scaled Doit n to About ThreeQuarter of n Million. NEW YORK. Nov. 6 The big fire which started on -Broadway and Bleccker streets early last night continued to burn until away In the morning. Crowds of people watched rrom the time it broke out until the last vestire of it was left. Rarlv this morning there was left standing of the big building at the southeast corner of Broaoway and Bleecker streets only one triangular wall. That was atJthe exact comer. It bulged and swayed and gave every In IIcatlon of falling every minute. Crowds of people waited and wached it. expecting to see It crash down into the street. The crowd waited an. J waited. The ruins were smoking and steaming from the streams of water which were brought to play. Iato them, and long iron beams at the upper rrt of the stan ling walls were red hot. The firemen kept up their work on the ruins until shortly before 7 o'clock, when the triangular walls swayed for an instant and then the Bleecker street side fell. The bricks, debris and long iron girders were sent flying across the street and the windows of the Manhattan Bank building were crushed in. A few seconds later the wall facing Broadway also swaved and then fell. In falling it sent a mass of brick clear across Broadway. It was estimated that the damage caused by the fire will be fully three-quarters of a million dollars. How the fire started Is not known. SE.ATOIlS dt KF.Il I1LV.MICH. ' 4 How He Unintentionally Secured n C'lerkshlu for n Constituent. Waihlngton Times.' Buck in tht seventies, when Zach Chandler was at te head of the Interior Department, a y-Jng man from one of the Wrstern State came to Washington to try cloiical life in one of the departments. He had been quite-a ward pollticiantln his Western home, and imagined both the Senators from his State would be glad to do him a favor. He spent several clays taking in the sights of the capital, then went up to the Senate one afternoon and sent in his card to Senator Blank. The Senator responded, promptly, had the visitor shown into the marble room, and for some time they sat on the sofa together, talking of home news a,nd the home crop. Then the young -man bcke the ice by informing the Senator Just what kind pf a place he wanted didn't care much what department It was in. "Well.. I -don't know," said the Senator. ucn places are not to be found every day. and there are hundreds here from about every State in the Union looking for almost anything in the shape of an appointment. "Come up to my house about 8 o'clock tonight." said the Senator, "and we'll talk the matter over." Promptly at the appointed hour he pulled the door bell and was ushered into the library, .where he found the Senator puffing a cixar ana jooKing over xne Evening Star. "Ah, good evening. Mr. : I was just thinking of you." said Senator Blank. 4I have written a strong letter to Secretary Chandler requesting him to give you a position In the Interior Department" picking up an unsealed letter from his desk and .handing it to the young onlce-seeker "and I would suggest that you fall at his office and present it about 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. I have also mailed the-Secretary a little personal note, letting him know that when I want anything in his office I want ii naa. . The young Westerner was bowed out of the room with smiles and a hearty handshake. At his hotel he sat down to think over his good luck: then he thought of the Senator's letter, and pulled it out of his pocket and read: "Dear Chandler: Some time . to-morrow morning young citizen of my great and glorjous State .will call on you with a strong indorsement from me for a clerkship. I have no earthly interest in him, so I turn him over to your tender merry. .- iiiiu i" ii Msv. 1 ours. UI-fAiSK. The voung man dropped the letter, and a big sigh struggled up from under his watch jHvket. -"I wonder what he said in the little note he mailed to the iecretary ?" tbouuM. the young candidate. Then he realized that the Senator had given him the wrong letter, and heat once determined to call at the Interior Department the next morning and see what the next chapter would bring forth. About 10 o'clock the next forenoon the colored messenger showed a voung man Cito Secretary Chandler's office. -Senator Blank told me last niht that Ce had writ un you. and advised me to call on you this morning." said the voung gentleman. . ' . . "Ah, yes," smiled the Sttrtarv goodnaturedly, picking up from his desk an open -letter and glancing over it. "The Senator speaks of you in the highest terms, and i very urs'-nt In his request for your appointment. Walt a moment," and touching Hj bell he sent his messenger for th ehif-lerk. After a moment's conversation with the chief clerk the Secretary said: "Vou are. fortunate. There U a J1.3X) clerkship mado vacant by resignation this morning and I have ordered' your apjolntment to the place." . A month later Senator Blank was walking through the patent Office, and in the corridor met the new clerk 1n his office coat. Tn Senator whs surprised and a tritle disconcerted, but he shook hands with h!s young friend and said he was glad to ffr- him there. "Well. I'm glad to be here," responded ! clerk. "And. Senator," putting his hand inside his vest and looking squarely In the other's eye. "right in my inside pocket I keep that little fersonal note vou thought you mailed to Secretary Chandler, Wllng him when you wanted a thing you wanted it lad." Ktpl.mationa were unnecensarv.

THE POWERS HEADY TO ACT TfllKRY'S III LIC II WAIlKD THAT HE .' 3IAY II K ASSASSINATED. Tens of Thousands of Christians Reported to Have Been .Massacred The ' Situation Serious. I LONDON". Nov. 7. A Vienna dispatch to the Standard says: "The Porte has replied to the identical representations of the powers that the reserves are being summoned to stop the outrages upon Armenians. The powers, however, consider that these measures are Inadequate." The Constantinople correspondent of the Standard says: "A great Moslem demonstration was announced for last Friday, but the Sultan, fearing the consequences, notified the Turkish newspapers of his intention to proclaim the constitution, whereupon the demonstration was countermanded. The Sultan then ordered the papers not to publish the announcement, and arrests began to be made. Last, evening the police raided the Turkish quarter of Sedik Pasha. A fight ensued and several persons were killed. A fresh crop of revolutionary placards was scattered broadcast to-day. Even at the Porte's house a letter was found giving the Sultan the alternative of abdication or assassination. Reports are reaching the embassies from all directions of wholesale massacres, and the victims now include Greeks and Maronites. The report Is gaining ground, even in diplomatic circles, that the Sultan has ordered the extermination of the Aremnlan race. The excitement Is spreading to Syria. Bagdad and Mosul." A dispatch to the Dally News from Constantinople fully confirms the foregoing, and adds that the British consul. Hampson, telegraphs from Sassoun that the distribution of relief has ceased . there, and that the missionaries have been obliged to leave. "The embassies do not make any secret of the fact," the Daily News correspondent adds, "that throughout Armenia fanatical disorder is rampant, and that the lives of Christians are in danger. It is asserted that several military students at the Pancaldi Academy have been arrested as revolutionists." The Chronicle's Constantinople dispatch contains serious similar statements and adds: "One of the oldest English residents, who has business agents throughout the empire, informs me that the .situation is worse than anything he has known for the la3t forty years. The numbers of the killed must not be reckoned by hundreds or by thousands, but by tens of thousands, and reports from Syria declare that the Armenians have been massacred under direct orders from the government." A Berlin dispatch to the Daily Telegraph says that news has been received of an Important success by the Armenian rebels, they having In one place defeated the Turks and captured four hundred prisoners. Tie American committee In London has received a telegram confirming the stoppage of relief which was forwarded by them to be distributed In Armenia. The Constantinople correspondent of the Times, in referring to the anti-dynastic movement, declares that the discontent and disaffection are widespread, not less in the army and navy than elsewhere, and are the cause of dismay in palace circles and of a feeling of impotence at the Porte. The Power' Warning. " CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 6.-The report that the embassadors of the powers, owing to the recurring disturbances In various parts of the Turkish empire, went to the Porte and urged that immediate and adequate measures for the restoration of order be taken, is confirmed In official circles. The representatives of the powers declared that otherwise the powers, acting in concert, would take their own. steps in the matter and the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Said Pasha, was requested to state what steps the Porte intends to take in order to terminate the present state of anarchy. The embassadors also called the most attention of the Porte to the condition of affairs in Anatolia, which they View with anxiety and .reminded the Turkish government of the intervention of the iowers in Syria at the time of the massacre and asked what measures the Turkish authorities proposed to take to establish order. No definite reply on this subject has been received, although the embassadors were assured that everything possible wou!d be done to restore order. But assurances of this nature have been so repeatedly given that very little faith is placed in them and it will require definite su.tem.ents and proofs of the willingness of the Turkish government to maintain order to satisfy the embassadors. The consular reports of the attack recently made on Dlarbeklr, capital of a village of the same name, situated near the Tigress, state that the marauders were commanded by the sheik of Zeilan. who is known to have been Implicated in the massacre of Armenians at Sassoun. The French consul for a time was in Immediate danger of being killed, being besieged in his house by the rioters. When he was able to do so the consul telegraphed to the French embassador at Constantmople. The latter received the dispatch at night, but this did not prevent him from going immediately to the Pcrte and making vigorous representations to the Grand Vizier, with the result that order was eventually restored after the town, which has .bout 45.0l Inhabitants, had been In the hands cf the Kurds for three days from Frlda: laft. during which time separate attacks were made on the Armenians, a number of whom were killed. The exact number of victims is not known, but all counts agree that It Is large. As usual, the Armenians are b'amcd for this outbreak. It is c'aimed that te rioting did not commerce until they, had made an attack on the Turkish mosques and it Is also sail by the Turks tht the Zeltoun Armen'ans attacked a Turkish officer who. with his wife and family, was traveling to Marash. The Armenians rre said to have killed the whele family and robbed the bodies. It Is evident. In view of the repeated outbreaks, wholesale kl'.llng of Armenians and Insults to foreign consuls and representatives, that (he powers, however much they may desire from political mot'ves not to interfere actively In the administration of Armenia, will sooner or later be compelled to restore order by a display of force, as the Turkish government seems either utterly rn-ble to put an end to the state of r.narchy existing In Armenia which threatens to br'.ng about a more grave state of affairs. ' Independent reports received from Armen'a do not confirm the official statements tht the Armenians provoked the, different disturbances which have taken' plate there. At Erzeroum alone the bodies of 310 Armenians have been found and only the corpses of six Turks were,among them. Fresh disturbances are rportel l0 have broken out at Adana. capital of the village of that name. According to the most recent reports circulated Kiamll Pasha, will be replaced as Grand Vizier by Said Pasha, formerly Grand Vizier, and now? Minister of Foreign

Affairs, and the latter will be succeeded by Tewflk Pasha, the Turk'sh embassador to Germany, who has left IJerlin for this city. The Ministers and Sir Edgar Vincent, governor of the Imperial Ottoman Hank, have assembled at the palace to consider the financial crisis. Sir Edgar Vincent has been financial advisor to the Turkish government for a dozen years past, and it was through his efforts that Egyptian finance was restored to prosperity. Klamal Pasha, the Grand Vizier, has resigned. IleKlnnlnfc r the End. LONDON, Nov. 6.-KditorIals in the morning papers dwell on the grravity of the announcement from Home that the powers had decided to take joint action in regard to Armenia. The Post (Conservative) says: 'The embassadors incurred a terrible responsibility and have hinted a threat that means nothing less than the occupation of Turkey. Is England prepared to acquiesce?" The Graphic says: "It is reopening the Eastern question with a vengeance. It means the Russian occupation of Armenia." The Dally News says: "It is the beginning of the end. The Cabinet met yesterday and Lord Salisbury must naturally have approved of this great diplomatic stroke. Turkey is now within measurable distance of disruption and partition." CALSH FOR YVAIl.

Chinese Attempt to Drown Itrltaln' I.nte Minister to Peking. LONDON, Nov. 6. A special dispatch from Shanghai, published to-day, says that while the former British minister to Peking, Sir D. It. O'Connor (who has been appointed British minister to Russia), and his family w-ere leaving Peking their boat collided at Tung-Chow with a craft filled with Chinese soldiers. A scuffle Is said to have ensued, during which sticks were freely used. Other soldiers on the river bank, it Is added. Joined In the disturbance by heaving rocks, with the apparent object of sinking the British official's boat. The matter. It appears, was hushed up in order to avoid complications. Ir. HerrltiR'M Insuranee Snlt. LONDON, Nov. C The. trial of the action of Dr. V. Connier Herring, of New York, to recover $15,000 insurance on the schooner, yacht Mohican, which was destroyed by fire at Shoreham, England, in March last. In which the underwriters denied the policy, denied that the yacht was loet and In the alternative alleged that the fire was caused by the plaintiff or his agents, was begun to-day. Upon cross-examination Dr. Herring admitted that he was divorced from his first wife (he was subsequently married to .Miss Mabel Viola Harris, of Booth Harbor. Me.), and said it was true that on board the Mohican when she left New York was a young girl. Letitla Thompson, whom he has been accused of kidnaping. Dr. Herring was cross-examined respecting the sums he had expended in fitting up the Mohican before she left New York, and the gross amount was substantially reduced, lie denied that he had only $7,500 and the yacht when he left New York, and he claimed that when he went ashore from the schooner at Southwlck she was safe and he did not know how she caught fire. The case was adjourned after lurtner testimony had been taken. Clyde Engineers Idle. . LONDON. Nov. C-Practlcally all the Clyde engineers are idle, as the bulk of them refused to go to work this morning as a. protest against the action of the ship builders yesterday, who posted notices locking out 23 per cent, of the employes in their yards. Only members of. the unions were locked out. The lockout is in sympathy with the Belfast ship builders who,e employes recently struck work. The Clyde ship builders thereupon announced that they would lock out 25 per cent, of their employes each successive week as the strike progressed. Both unionists and nonunionists, however, are equally affected, and the extent to 'which the other Industries are affected is Incalculable, for when the ship building on the Clyde is at a standstill a general stagnation of business in the west of Scotland is the result. The coal and Iron Industries are most affected, and numbers of miners and iron workers wjll probably be thrown out of work. The St. Paul Makes Belter Time. LONDON, Nov. 6.-The American Mine steamer St. Paul, Captain Jamison, from New York, for Southampton, passed Prawle Point at 11:50 this morning. The St. Paul sailed from New York Oct.

On her previous trip to Southampton (which was her maiden eastward voyage), the St. Paul's time to the Needles was seven days twelve hours and twenty-seven minutes and she had until 6:27 to-morrow morning to make the same time. Allowing four and one-half hours to make- the run from Prawle Point to the Needles, the steamer will be due at 4:20 this afternoon, making her time about six days twenty-two hours and twenty minutes, or about fourteen hours better than her previous record. The eastward Southampton record Is held by the Furst Bismarck and is six days ten hours and fifty-five minutes. The Crnthle Responsible. ROTTERDAM, Nov. 6. The court here, which has been taking testimony In the case of the North German Lloyd steamship Elbe, sunk In collision with the British steamer Crathle. of, Aberdeen, on Jan. 31, of the present year, involving a loss of 335 lives, has rendered a final decision, holding the Crathle wholly responsible for the disaster and condemning her owners to pay the North German Lloyd Company's claim for the total loss of the Elbe, with interest et 6 per cent, and ordering the sequestration of the Crathle pending payment. Financial Advice from London. LONDON, Nov. 6.The Dally Telegraph In Its financial' article expresses the hope that all parties in America will see the importance of allowing trade naturally to expand and will support President Cleveland In his project for the withdrawal of greenbacks and for the substitution of the notes of the various State banks, under which system the American currency would " expand or contract, the Daily Telegraph adds, according to business requirements. Cable 'otes. M. Revoll has been appointed French Minister to Brazil. King Charles of Portugal is in England, the guest of the Prlne of Wales at Sandrlngham.

Cnplaln-Ueneral Campos' Message to the Spanish Authorities. . NEW YORK. Nov. 7. The Paris correspondent of the World cables the following: I am able to send you the following authentic translations of -copies of official cable dispatches now on file at Madrid: "To Minister Ultramar. Madrid: "Referring to your cablegram of Oct. 30, expressing dissatisfaction at the newspaper interview In which I expressed the opinion that the United States would recognize Cuban belligerency, I reiterate my statement and say. further. that if this war is not brought to a speedy termination by granting home rule to Cuba the United States will surely give aid to the insurgents and espouse their cause sooner or later. I urge that autonomy be granted to the Island; believing this to-be the only means of ending the struggle without the loss of many lives and waste of their Immense wealth of the island. "MARTINEZ DE CAMPOS." The following reply," dated Madrid.

The organization of the silver Democratic ring was quite inferior to that of their opponents. ... MASSACHUSETTS. Greenhala;es Plurality Conservatively Estimated nt KI.OOO. BOSTON. Nov. 6. The smoke of political battle has cleared away and to-night the leaders of both parties are discussing the result and f rorn ; it are already forming plans for next year's work. The Republican leaders are particularly pleased over the gains of Governor preenhalge In this city, for they claim that slowly but surely the people are coming over to their ranks. The Democrats, on the other hand, say that they attach no significance whatever to the decreased Democratic plurality in the city other than that their candidate was not personally as popular as Russell, the candidate of 1S94, and for proof of their assertion point to the fact that the Democracy gained a Senator In Suffolk county, which is practically Boston. The figures of the Associated Press told the story more accurately than any other agency last night and to-day those who claimed the State for Greenhalge by 65,000 and 66,000 plurality, are reducing their estimates as the official, figures are given out. The Associated Press placed the plurality conservatively at a- little over 63.000 and all official advices have justified lhat estimate. The sine of 'the Populist vote in Massachusetts will probably be known tomorrow. There are indications that there Is a falling off. E. Gerry Brown, the candidate for Governor, got about 300 votes in Boston, while last year the candidate, George H. Carey got over 1,100. In Lynn Carey got 8S5 and Brown has 759. The question of woman suffrage has been lost sight of except by those directly Interested, but the suffragists claim that they are encouraged, as the vote against them was smaller th3n they anticipated. ALMOST-A CbEAX SWEEP. Republican Candidate for Chief Jostle Eleeted by 40.000 Plurality. KANSAS CITY, Nov. 6. Kansas returns to-day show that.' Ahe Republicans made practically a clean sweep of the State, carrying a majority of the counties entire and electing many of the officers of the others. C E. Holliday, Independent candidate for. Chief Justice, admits David Martin, hla Republican opponent, will have forty thousand majority. Chairman Breidenthal, of the Populist State central committee, says the returns show Populist gains over last year. Ex-Chief Justice Horton said to-day:. "The result of the election here shows the people want resubmission." Large Gains for Republicans. . TOPEKA, Kan., Nov- 6. The latest returns received to-tiay.from all parts of Kansas show large gains for the Republicans. Many counties that have been Populist for four years elected all the Republican candidates. Judge Martin will be overwhelmingly elected Chief Justice ot the Supreme Court. In many counties he received ten votes to every one for Holliday, Independent. Republicans elected four out of five district Judges, Dale, Pop., in Sedgwick county, being the only successful opposition candidate for bench honors. THEY HAVE 3IISSISSIPPI. Democrats Carried the Stale by About 25.000 Majority. . JACKSON, Miss., Nov, 6. The latest news from the election 6t yesterday gives a Democratic" majority of from 25,000 to 30,000. Reports from Webster county, which was in great doubt, say that county has been carried by the Democrats. This county has voted strongly against the Democratic party in nearly every election since the war. Both sides are claiming Chickasaw county, the home ' of .Burkltt, Populist candidate for Governor and which he has never failed to carry, but the Democrats assert they have the best chance for it. Atalla. another Populist stronghold, went Democratic by S00 majority. Estimates based on nearly complete returns show that the Populists did not receive 10 per cent, of the total vote cast The present Legiflature contains twenty-five Populists and the next one, which will elect a successor to Senator George, will not have more than eight,' "all the rest being Democrats. Cook County's Vplc. CHICAGO. Nov. 6. The election in Cook county .(Chicago) yesterday proves to have been a" Republican landslide, the candidates of that party being chosen by majorities ranging from 31.000 to 36.000. The election was for two Judges of the Superior Court and nine trustees for the thirty-milllon-dollar drainage canal which is to connect Lake Michigan and the Illinois river. As these trustees are voted for on the cumulative plan, each of the parties nominated five candidates, it being agreed that the , one receiving the smallest number of votes on either side fhould be out. Under this arrangement the Republicans elect five and the Democrats four of the trustees. The Republican candidates for judge were also chosen by large majorities, and the vote in favor of the Torrens land tile system was nearly unanimous. The vote for the candidates nominated by the peoples' and Socialist Labor parties was very small. The Vlrutnln Legislature. RICHMOND, Va.. Nov. 6. Returns from all over the State Indicate that the Democrats elected their candidates in fifteen of the twenty senatorial districts and that the next Senate will stand thirty-four Democrats and six opposition. The anti-Democrats elect probably twenty-four of the one hundred members of the new House. PHIXCE ITlItHIDE. Something: About n Younic Mnn Who Is Billed for n Duel. . Washington Special to Chicago Record. The escapades of" Prince Iturblde are again occupying the attention of the local papers, and It Is reported that the young j man Is intending to tight a auei with a well-known club habitue who expressed a doubt as to his ability to perform certain feats of horsemanship which have been shown by the - Mexican vaquero.i r. ith Buffalo Bill's show. The duel is a matter of no consequence. It will be a farce, but the young Prince Is a historic personage. When Mexico had thrown off the yoke of Spain, in and was trying to organize a government of Its own. one of the generals named Iturbide. who had fought in the war of independence, managed to set up a throne and proclaim himself emperor. He was sustained by the Catholic Church and the old Spanish aristocracy, but they could not keep him in power long and his ambition cost him his life. Some years afterward his son. Augustine Iturblde. was sent to the Catholic college at Georgetown. D. C where he remained for four years as a student and fell In love with a Miss Green, the daughter of an old Virginia family living in that place. Shortly after his graduation the two were married, and the young prince, whose name appears so frequently in the papers, is their son. He was born shortly before the Trench invasion of IMS. and when the tll-tarred Maximilian and ixr CarJotta were nominated by Xapolfon III. of France, as Emperor and Empress of Mexico, they, having no children of their own, decided that it would be; a stroke of policy to adopt a native Mexican as their heir. De-

cause of his ancestry they selected the infant Iturbide, and he wad sent from Georgetown to the City of Mexico and there paraded as a prince. When Maximilian was shot and Carlotta fled from Mexico to Cuba she took the baby with her, and Mrs. Green-Iturbide. of Georgetown, went to Havana to recover her child. There was a painful scene between th two women, because Carlotta was insane, and, having been robbed of a kingdom, a she thought, was determined not to bo robbed fef the child. The United States consul-general was called upon to Interfere, and through him Mrs. Iturbide recovered her baby. She brought him to Georgetown, where he was educated, like his father, and when he grew up President Diaz made him a lieutenant in the Mexican army. He went to Mexico, where his career was marked by dissipation and adventures, and he finally found himself in Jail one day for having written a letter encouraging a gang of conspirators who proposed to upset President Diaz and the republic and place him on the throne. He was court-martialed and sentenced to a year's imprisonment, which was shortened through the intercession of friends In theUnited States. He then returned to Washington, and has since been living here upon his pay as a lieutenant in the Mexican army and from an allowance from his mother, who has some property. The vanity and arrogance of the young man have always caused a great deal of amusement among the members of the diplomatic corps and the plain republicans of this city, and particularly so a couple of years ago, when he committed a serious impropriety at the Metropolitan Club and he and a number of friends were threatened with expulsion; His companions . made abject apologies and were restored to their privileges upon a promise of good behavior, but Iturbide said that "a prince never apologizes," and allowed himself to be expelled. When he found that his excessive dignity did not make the Impression Intended he came off his high horse, made the proper pology and was restored to membership. TAKING HIXSnAW TO PRISON.

Hlnshaw, the convicted wife murderer, would be brought to this city gome time during the night.

The prisoner was to be brought overland and lodged In the jail here until morning, when he could be hustled of to prison on one of the early trains. At 2:30 o'clock Hlnshaw had not arrived, and the Jail officials had received no notice of his coming. BEARS ON THE RA3IPAOE. Two "Woodsmen Killed and Two More Seriously Injured. SANDSTONE.

ENGLISH OARSMEN WIN. Teemer Given Out. In a Record-Ilreak-Ing Double Scull Flare.. AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 6. At the regatta to-day four thousand people witnessed one of the finest races ever rowed over any course. This race was the double-scull, mile and a half, with a turn, three miles In all. Starters:' Bubear and Barry, English; Rogers and Teemer, American. The race was a terrific one from start to finish, and the yellow flag was flying clear to the mlle-and-a-half stake. The English crew turned and got away first. The Americans were right after them, however; down the course to the three-fourths flag a stroke of fifty-five was pulled. At the three-quarters flag they passed the English team and had a boat-length lead down, to the half flag, when the Englishmen began to crowd them. The last quarter saw both crews plying oars with all their strength. For this quarter the average stroke was fifty-six and the water was fairly sizzling. About ten lengths from the finish Teemer pave out entirely and Rogers had to yull the boat over the line by himself. The Englishmen were so close on to the Americans when Teemer gave out that they immediately shot past and took the lead, passing over the line five boat lengths in the lead. Time, 17:40. This time was made over a course with hardly a ripple noticeable anywhere, and lowered the world's record on three-mile double sculls. The fact that the Americans had been favorites in the pool rooms, with bets of 3 and 5 to I on them, caused many sports to go dead broke to-night, while patriotic Englishmen in attendance won lots of money. This race won the championship of the world for the Englishmen and a purse of $1,000. , The next most Important event was the triangular three-mile trial race for positions in the championship for the R. K. Fox cup and $1,000. Starters: Hanlon. Peterson, Jake Gaudaur, Teemer and Rogers. Gaudaur led from the very start, pulling a steady stroke of thirty-eight. From the very outset it was evident that Teemer, from some unknown cause, was blown up, and he quit when a mile and a half of the course had been rowed, leaving Gaudaur and Rogers to win by easy strokes in 19:41. This will give Gaudaur and Rogers position in to-morrow's great race against Bubear and Haines. ev Mnrkn for IHcyelers. LOUISVILLE, Ky.t Nov. 6.

There will be a football game Saturday between Miami University and Butler, at the Ohio-street grounds. The game will be called at 3 o'clock. The Ideal Schoolboy., Nature. The ideal schoolboy Is an orderly machine, always obedient, receptive, submissive, ready In the cricket field, and with real or simulated "enthusiasm for football, despising all other games, and conservative to the backbone. He is the darling of the master, who sends him home with glowing reports and arms full of prize books. It seems never to o?cur to any one that there may be natures to which the classical languages and history make no appeal, who have not the gift of the mathematician, and who do not even care to play at cricket or football. If suoh appear in a public school they have a bad time of It, dragging out their miserable days at the bottom of the form, regarded as fools by the masters and as muff by th boys. And yet among these school failures there may be Lleblgs or Darwlns. or at any rate there may be. and cemmonly there is, the material out of which good and useful citizens are made, if only they had a chance to show what they can do.

THEY SEE HARHISOX. Cnrlonn People Crowd the Federal Court Center of Interest. Chicago Evening Post. "Excuse me, Mr. Brown, I didn't get the name of the patent you are. referring to? The Lampey? Ah. yes; thank you." The words, spoken In . a low, careless voice, were not inherently Interesting, but they were spoken by an ex-President of the United States and were eagerly listened to by a crowd which had been anxiously waiting for. an hour and a half to see Benjamin Harriron do something or say something toward earning his fees in the patent case being fought in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in the Monadnock building. The court room was crowded with people who didn't knjw an elevator cable from a drum, a holstway from a lever, and had no personal interest in the outcome of the legal fight between the Crane EIeator Company and the Standard Elevator Company. But they did have a very lively Interest in the picture of a man who was for four years the President of the United States, the ruler of TO.OOO.OCO people. Fitting in court as a plain American citlxen In the exercise of the legal profession In which he had won distinction before the American people chose him as their chief magistrate. In manner and appearance Mr. Harrison impressed moBt of those who studied his every movement so Intently as more the lawyer than the man of affairs, more the counselor than the chief ruler of the areatest nation on earth. He is short, and they thought the brains of the President of the United States ought to be further from the ground. They admitted, however, that there were brains enough behind that protuberant forehead, and watched the actions the ex-President's brains dictated with close attention. The entire morning session was occupied by the argument of attorney Edwin H. Brown for the Crane company, who endeavored to convince the court that the Standard Elevator Company has been infringing on patents owned, by hla clr?nt, and that the appeal of the Standard company from the decision of Judge Jenkins, enjoining such Infringement, should not be allowed. Ex-President Harrison, who Is to close the case for the Standard company, followed the argument of his opponent intently, and frequently bent forward over the table In front of him to make notes of the points of the argument. His favorite position, however, was one of greater ease, leaning back comfortably in his chair, with his right or left arm thrown carelessly over its back, while the ex-presldentlal gaze was fixed more or less Intently on some point in the celling. Frequently Mr. Harrison and the much younger attorney, Frank T. Brown, who is senior counsel on that side of the case, whispered together In reference to some statement of their opponent, and if his occasional satisfied smiles, with the accompaniment of twinkling eyes, could be taken as an Indication. Mr. Harrison expected to make hay out of his opponent's argument when his own turn came. For a large part of the morning session the silk-robed members of the court, Judge Woods, Judge Bunn and Judge Showalter, were reinforced by Judge P. S. Grosscup and Judge R. S. Tuthill, who occupied seats on the platform. They were attracted doubtless by the same laudable curiosity to see an ex-Presldent trying a lawsuit that accounted for the large attendance of spectators in the court room. Early in hla argument Mr. Brown referred to a ease tried by the law firm of which' the "distinguished Junior counsel on the other side was a member." Mr. Harrison onlv looked bored at the compliment, however, and with a stubby lead pencil con veniently held In his mouth looked tnrougn one of the piles of law books on the tab:e. Mr. Harrison then whispered to his assoc'ate. after which he conferred with his client. ex-Mayor John A. Roche, the head of the Standard Elevator Company. who then left the court room temporarily on some unknown mission. Mr. Harrison crossed his legs, sank down into a more comfortable position and looked Intently at the celling over his Iron-bowed spectacles. "The value of the traveling cable waa overbalanced by the differential surfaces," observed the counsel making the argument. The spectators didn't know what it was about, but Mr. Harrison gathered some meaning from it. for he wrinkled his brows, made a notation and then took a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully laid it across his knee. Subsequently Mr. Harrison at Intervals rubbed his fingers with the piece of linen, which later furnished the nearest approach to a sensation in the case bv falling to the floor. The deputy United States marshal and a dapper stenographer ran a close rce for the honor of returning it to Mr. Harrison and the stenographer won. Then the case proceeded. Mr. Brown made an elaborate explanation, from a model .In front of him, of the workings of the Crane elevator, to show the advantages of the double cable system, to which his client claims the exclusive right. Judge Woods wasn't quite clear on that point and observed : "I confess I don't , quite see, if one operates on the valve and the lever works freely, how the other cable has any effect because the operator can make the car move as jerky as he pleases. Does it prevent Jerky work?" "N'o. sir." admitted counsel, with anfarent regret, while the other Mr. Brown, ic of the Standard elevator side of th case, got up and looked at the model in great clee. while Mr. Harrison showed his enjoyment more moderately, remaining seated, but smiling with evident pleasure. Then Mr. Brown, who had the floor, did som: more exnlaining In the hope of coni vlnclng the court that the two-cable sys tem was a great thing arter an. "It's in the intermediate spaces that you claim it has operation?' asked Judge Woods. y3 dr." "Ah. I get your thought now." In this Judge Woods had a distinct advantage over the spectators, but the case proceeded just the same. Mr. Harrison seemed somewhat grieved that Judge Woods should have got that thought, and pensively cleaned his finger nails. i Frequently when following In his own law books citations mane oy opponinfr counsel CX-I resiueni nuu j up iuu-u ihi'iiv, as though he was talking to himself; often during the argument he Interrupted, realizing what a center of attraction he was.
