ASHORE OFF CAPE RACE LKYLAD LINK STEAMER ASSVIIIAX "WRECKED DLIIING A FOG. Bottom of Her Tw Forward Holds Torn Out Crew Landed on the CI I ITs with Dlllculty. ST. JOHNS, N. F., June 6. The Leyland steamer Assyrian, from Antwerp, for Montreal, with 2,0X) tons of cargo, went ashore off Cape Race at midnight. She has eleven feet of water In her forehold. Her crew had great difficulty In escaping and reaching shore. She was running at full speed through the fog when she struck Cape Race, and she now lies an almost hulk on the coast. For three days Captain Dingle had been navigating by the log, and he had calculated upon a course rounding Cape Race thirty miles south of land. This plan, however, was frustrated by northerly currents. The Assyrian struck at 11:40 last night. Land had been sighted enly a minute before. The fog was dense and there was no time to reduce speed. She struck the face of the cliff and was forced upon the outlying rocks. The Impact tore out the bottom of the two forward holds. She heeled over to the starboard when her side glanced against the cliff. The crew at tirst were panic-stricken, but after a time comparative calm was restored; and all precautions were taken to secure the safety of all on board. When the extent of her injuries was disclosed it was seen that she was badly damaged, but would outlast any weather except a severe storm. The arrival of daylight enabled Captain Dingle to land the cnate, who climbed the cliffs, proceeded to Cape Race station and telegraphed the news of the disaster. At a late hour to-night It Is not known what steps will be necessary to relloat the Assyrian, should that be possible. Three 9teamers and three divers are now on the way to the wreck, ready to begin operations to-morrow. The Allan liner Siberia, from Philadelphia, will pass Cape Race tomorrow morning and will be signaled to render assistance. Movements of Steamers. NEW YORK. June 6.

CHINESE NEGOTIATIONS

THEY A It E NOW BEING IJIHECTEIJTO SETTLING GUARANTEE (U'l-'STIOM. o (Government to He Liable for More than the Amount of Indemnity It Will Receive. WASHINGTON, June C -The ambassadors from most of the European countries were in conference with Secretary Hay today, mainly because it was diplomatic day, which afforded opportunity for discussing the state of the Chinese negotiations, it is understfod the middle ground, or modus vivendi, as it is being referred to, concerning the form of paying the indemnity, is likely to be settled by a joint and several guarantee. This will be in complete accord with the American view that there should be no joint guaranty, In the sense of binding each government to securing the payment of the entire $röT,O0.0X). It will be joint, however, in the formal aspect of being executed by all of the powers jointly, at the same time and probably by the same Instrument. This instrument, doubtless, will include a provision by which each government Is to assume no liability beyond the amount of its own share of the indemnity, which, in the case of the United States, is limited to $25,0M0. In answer to his inquiry, Special Commissioner Rockhill, at Peking, has been informed that the United States government has not taken any steps recently looking toward the abatement of its claims for indemnity against China by one-half, regardless of the action of other powers. Soma time ago the government proposed, through Mr. Rockhill, that all of the powers scale down their claims 50 per cent., so as to bring the total of the indemnities within China's ability to pay. Though this proposition failed of acceptance, our government left Mr. Rockhlll under Instructions to lose no opportunity to secure a reduction of the claim, but it has never signified a disposition to refuse to accept the full amount of our Indemnity, regardless of the action of the other powers. Envoys Waiting on Advices. PEKING, June 6. The ministers have ceased to hold meetings while making inquiries as to the desires of their respectie governments. The majority of the ministers hold that Germany should have told tho Chinese that all the powers would agree to an indemnity of 450,0)0,0oo taels jt 4 per cent. Interest. They also think that the withdrawal of Count Von Waldersee and the German troops shows a desire to force the powers to acquiesce to Germany's demands, which they ,-e not inclined to do. Trouble between lL.Jsh and French soldiers at Tien-Tsin continues. Brigadier General Lome Campbell, in command of the British troops, and the French commander will use their utmost endeavors to prevent further friction. Dispatch from Wnldersee. BERLIN, June 6.

In company with large German detachments I attended the funeral of the French soldiers killed In the recent affray." OBITUARY. MaJ. George Arthur, Assistant Paymnster, United States Army. CLEVELAND, O., June 6. Major Georg?

GERMANY A GOOD MARKET AMERICAN' MACHINERY AND MANUFA CT l' RES IX DEMAND. Our rrosress In Making Textiles Regarded us Remnrkable Tribute to Yankee Ingenuity. WASHINGTON, June 5.-The importance of Germany's markets to the United States is set forth in the latest extract from "Commercial Relations of the United States," to be made public by Frederick Emory, chief of the Bureau of Foreign Commerce of the State Department. Consul Brundage, of Alx la Chappelle, says there was placed In that city within the last year approximately some $2C0,(XK) worth of American machinery. The market for structural Iron and hardware Is large, and the best way to place American goods of this class is through the architects. Consul Hughes, of Coburg, says that trade In American agricultural machines has improved greatly since the local fair held some months ago, at which their articles were exhibited. Our tools, Mr. Hughes says, simply sell themselves by their superiority of make, lightness, durability, etc. American locks at last have been introduced, and are considered wonderful in their way. Consul Lieber, of Duesseldorf, notes that several firms In that city devote themselves almost exclusively to the importation of American machine tools, and their business is flourishing. Many American articles are exhibited in the stores, such as writing desks, typewriters, petroleum stoves, washing machines and other household goods, and all seem to sell well. There Is a constantly increasing demand for pitch pine. Consul Harris says that our goods have a solid footing In the Mannheim consular district, especially in the lines of iron and wood-working machinery, pumps, cash registers, office furniture, photographic supplies, sewing machines, bathtubs, lawnmowers and rakes, shoes, lubricating oils, etc. In food supplies, canned meats, California fruits, etc., are popular. Consul Sawter, of Glauchau, says the Germans regard American progress in the manufacturing of textiles as remarkable. Not only has the American manufacturer adopted every machine, loom or device known in foreign countries that could ba used to advantage, but, more than this, he has brought ingenuity and enterprise to bear against the slower thoroughness of the Germans. The employment of the Rabbath spindle, for instance, which makes lO.OoG revolutions per minute, has saved American manufacturers, it is estimated, over $Uk),wi0,oü0 since its adoption in lisTü. The consul continues: "Each year records progiess in America, to the Germans' regret, in increasing the output of mills without a relative increase in cost of production and as no standard is considered too high. Improvements are constantly noted in weaving, dyeing and finishing goods, and, in fact, in every branch of the industry. There Is no doubt that the American manufacturer spends more money than his competitors in Germany. "In Saxony, for some months, there have been rumors of unfavorable European conditions. Manufacturers are keeping their factories running on materials which, while excellent in every particular, lack that quality known as novelty, which produces rapid sale at good prices in America. German manufacturers are almost on the verge of acknowledging defeat, and are ready and willing at this moment to take Ideas from America. Within the past year, American opinions have gained a tremendous ascendency in German and in European circles generally. The once despised American manufacture, the once laughedat American ideas of dress are now the thing, and this fact Is realized by the German manufacturer. American women of wealth and position are positive in their ideas; American buyers are recognized as the only positive people in the European markets. They know what thev want to buy and insist on getting it. They reject the bizarre productions of German manufacturers and teach them how to make goods smart, effective and neat. Lacking new style. German goods are not now being sought for. "The reversible cloths which are made in the United States have been an article of general use in Germany, are extensively copied, and are now the style in highpriced goods in the German capital. Germany Intends to hold her grip upon manufacturing interests in the market, however, ?.nd will emulate American Ingenuity and enterprise until ner products again suc ceed." FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE.

SUIT AGAINST h DUKE

BROTHER OF THE CiEHMAN EMPRESS ASKED TO PAY HU.OigJ FRANCS. Story of n Woman Who Says She Loaned Money to Princess Amnlia American in the Case. BERLIN, June 6. A sensational case began to-day in the First District Court of Berlin. The plaintiff, Anna Milewfki, was formerly lady-in-waiting upon the deceased Princess Amalia of Schleswig-Holstein, and the defendant is the brother of Empress Augusta Victoria. Duke Ernest Gucnther. The plaintiff claims that Princess Amalia received only 12"0 marks annually from the defendant, who Is the head of the house. She also asserts that, as she had a fortune of her own, amountin-g to S0.000 marks, she made loans to the princess, who, being in the last stages of consumption, was at the time proceeding slowly to Egypt. While the princess was in Malta, according to the plaintiff's statement, she engaged as her chamberlain an American named Walker, who, perhaps, unaware of the financial resources of the princess, Induced her to Incur large expenses. Finally-the plaintiff, who feared the loss of her entire fortune, made the princess, with whom she had now arrived at Cairo, restore to her the sum of 20,000 francs. The plaintiff now declares that, at the Instigation of Duke Ernst Guenther. the adjutant of Prince Joachim of Prussia caused the Egyptian police to arrest her in the street, after which she was forcibly and inhumanly transported back to Prussia, where she became very ill. Meanwhile, according to the plaintiff's declaration, Mr. Walker forcibly took plaintiff's 20nw) francs from her trunk, and with it settled the unpaid bills of the princess, then deceased, and defrayed the cost of transporting the body home. Plaintiff asked that the 20.000 francs be refunded with Interest. Defendant's counsel. Count Bredow, challenged the accuracy of a number of the plaintiff's statements, and the court decided that, before the proceedings were carried further. Prince Joachim's adjutant, who Is still In Cairo, must depose. ANTISEPTIC DISCOVERY. An Organic Acid Hyperoxide That Is Fatal to All Bacteria. ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 6. An important antiseptic discovery, upon which Drs. Frederick G. Novy and Paul C. Freer have been working for over a year in their respective laboratories, has just been made public. The new antiseptics are organic acid hyperoxides. In a water solution five one-thousandths of 1 per cent, of active oxygen derived from the hyperoxlde is fatal to all bacteria. The hyperoxide which was used for the experiments in benzolacltzl, and this, as was shown by experiments on dogs, can be taken internally in large doses without poisonous effect. The discovery may, it Is claimed, lead to the further discovery of the fundamental causes in an important field of medical and surgical science. COSTLY MIRROR SHATTERED.

A thirty-six-inch mirror belonging to a Newtonian reflecting telescope at Lick Observatory wa3 shattered yesterday in the workshop of Prof. John A. Brashear, of this city, whila It was being drilled to convert it into a Cassegraln glass. As a result it is probable the long-projected expedition of the Lick Observatory into the southern hemisphere will have to be postponed. A new glas3 cannot be obtained from France in less than six months. The great mirror was five inches thick and weighed about four hundred pounds. It was valued at $3,000. SHOT BY HIS SWEETHEART.

"COLONEL" HANNA, NOW. 4. Comrade Honored by G. A. It. Com mandcr-ln-Chlef Rnssleur. CLEVELAND, O., June 6. -Senator M. A. Hanna has been appointed a colonel on the official staff of General Rassleur, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. Senator Hanna was recently mustered into the Grany Army of the Republic as a member of Memorial Tost in this city. National Cash Register Case. Dayton (O.) News. The conferences following the visit of President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, ended in the National Cash Register Company offering to open the shops with the old force, with the exception of the four men whose discharge seems to have caused all the trouble. The unions, so it is stated, and not denied to this date, refuse to accept this proposition, and there the matter stands. A grievance between four employes and the employers of thousands of people Is accepte-d by the unions as sufficient to keep 2.U00 men. women and girls out of work. The unions can scarcely hope to hold public sentiment by measures so arbitrary as this. The time will never come when the owner of a fatory absolutely gives up the right to discharge an employe if he thinks the circumstances warrant such action. The unions dD not give to capital the right to admit or deny applicants for membership to their organizations, and it is an invasion of privat? right when any organization attempts to restrict any employer in his right to discharge an employe if he no longer desires his presence in his works. Labor has rights, and plenty of them. Labor has been encroached upon, no doubt, in many instances. No one denies that both sides have made mistakes, but that Is not relevant in the discussion of fhe trouble at the National Cash Register. The unions peremptorily say that If four men are not tken back, organized labor will not ar-. to resumption of business involving the employment of 2.2M people. Organization of labor does good. It has helped to increase waKcs. and thereby more evenly distribute values and money. The fact that labor is an important factor makes It all the more urgent that It be plainly told of Its mistakes. If they are plain to any one free from prejudice. No organization can endure in America if measures so rranlfestly unfair and arbitrary as adopted by the union officers in charre of the National Cash Register trouble are allowed to prevail. The creat rr asses of workmen will not contend for what Is obviously a wrong. Not Necessary. Kansas City Journal. "Who." inquires a contemporary, "will undertake to say that five of the Supreme Court justices were rieht In thlr interpretation of the Constitution, and the other four v.TonE?" And who will undertake to say that .four were right and five were wrong? It Is not necessary to say either one or the other. Simply take the decision of the court as It was rendered. There is no difficulty in interpreting aright that portion of the Constitution which says majorities shall rule In this country. Sprinte Clean l' lu the Klondike. DAWSON. May 21. via Seattle.

Roth 'Phones 130 4. MR. BRYAN IN "COLD TYPE.' Reckless Statements That t nlll Iliiu for Leadership. New York World (Dem). In the very first sentence of his editorial on the Supreme Court's decisions Mr. Bryan puts his readers on their guard against him: "By a vote of 5 to 4 the Supreme Court has declared President McKinley Emperor of Porto Rico." The fact, of course, is just the reverse. In the De Lima case, by a vole of 5 to 4, the Supreme Court rebuked President McKinley for attempting to make laws tor Porto Rico. And In the Dowries case, while the Supreme Court upheld the power of Congress to lay a duty on goods going from Porto Rico to the United States, eight of the nine Justices declared that th Constitution limited even Congress as t Porto Rico; and the ninth justice held that "the principles of the Constitution" must guide Congress In its administration of the island. Mr. Bryan proceeds as recklessly as h began. Where his attack does not disregard or misrepresent or exaggerate tha declarations of the court. It is based upon the loosest possible construction of th opinions of Justice Brown opinions which, every one of his eight colleagues hastened strenuously to repudiate. "Cold tyi-e" has again betrayed Mr. Bryan Into scil-revelatlon. With crufl fidelity it mirrors his leadership of responsibility, of flamboyant overstatement and misstatement, with truth, sobriety and sensa drowning or drowned in rivers of reckless rhetoric. It shows why his leadership has brought the Democratic party to its present eiismal and disheartened plight. Mr. Bryan truly says that "this decision raises a political issue which must be settled by the people." But as to himself he only shows again and vividly howr unfit he Is to state this or any other issue so that it will convince tho common sense of the American people. For he never grasps the all-Important truth for the political leader the difference between the whoop and hurrah of the political meeting and the silence and calmness of the voting booth.
