Trial of Members of the Alsatian Patriotic League on the Chart of Bigh Treason Flashes QUEEK VICrOUl 'S JUBILEE 1)11. An vent That Eogrossea the Attention of All Classes of Londoners Losrojf, June 13. The Queen's jubilee 13 the all-pervading topic, and preparations for celebrating the event in befitting manner engrosses the attention of all classes of Londoners. The fortunate ones who own or hold as tenant3 places lookin on the street along the ronte proposed for her Majesty's procession to Westminster Abbey are making the most of the opportunity and are charging enormons prices for tie privilege of standing room. In many instances these landlords have compelled their tenants for an hoar to hire entire t'.oors in order to secure the exclusive right to look outxf the windows, and as great a sum as 390 has been exacted and paid for thai privilege. Complaints are rife that the Qasen, by adhering to her resolve to proceed to Westminster Abbey in semi-state instead of the fnll measure of pomp belonging to the occasion and the personage, deprive the spectacle of the procession of the magnificence that should be displayed, although her Majesty hai promised to wear the Kohinoor and ail of her other jewels except the crown jewels proper; but as no one of the complaints can possibly reach the royal ear, and as it would cot make any difference if they shonld. the programme as dictated by the Queen will be carried out to tbe smallest detail. The visitiDg and Engl'sb. royalties will follow the Queen's coach in open carriages, probably dreading at every turn of the wheels of their vehicles the dynamite and revolvers the police pretend to fear, bnt as the scare has no other basis than that of affording the police an opportunity to direct attention to their own importance, nobody is likely to be hart. Presents of incalculable value and in great numbers are pouring in upon the Qaeen, and the people are beginning to ask bow her Majesty herself intends to mark the occasion. If she declines to respond to the jubilee oSerings by some gift of memorable munificence from the Immense board of wealth in her possession, every shilling of which in one way or another has been wrung from the taxpayers, , the niggardly disposition evinced by her neglect - will go further toward weakening the hold of the monarchy upon the democracy of England than anything that has been done or left undone during the period ot the Queen's rIgn. All of the Irish corporations, with the exception of those of Belfast and Londonderry, have refused to accept the invitations sent to them to attend the ceremonies in Westminster Abbey, and no Irish member of Parliament, unless he be an Orangeman, will set foot within the walls of that edifice on that day. IN THE 15RITLSH HOUSE OF COMMONS. Consideration of the Fifth Clans of tbe Coercion UilL Lospok, June 13. The House of Commons this evening resumed debate on the coercion bill, taking up the fifth clause, which deals with the proclaiming ot districts. Henry Fowler (Liberal) proposed, as an amendment, that proclamation be made by order of the Privy CoHncil instead of by the Viceroy. He urged that a change of such impertance as the proclaiming of a district should be made by the Imperial instead of by the Irish executive. Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, declined to accept the amendment. He reminded the House that the Government, collectively, was responsible for every act of the Irish executive. Messrs. Healy, McNeil, Clancey and Dillon, Nationalists, successively supported the amendment. Mr. Gladstone suggested that the members should not spend any more, of the short time at their command in fa tile discussion. It would be better, he said, to employ the remaining time ic discussing weightier points. Mr. Smith said he was anxious to allow sufficient time for the discussion of substantial questions, and he hoped the opposition would assist the Government in this direction. Mr. fowler offered to withdraw his amendment. Mr. Dillon protested. He declined to to take Advice from the Government as to what amendments should be discussed in the miserable period left to the Farnelhtes to content the measure. ilr. Marley said he was sure Mr. Gladrt one had not meant to suggest that the opposition assist in limiting the debate in accordance with the Government's ideas. The opinions of the rarnellites upon the relative importance of amendments deserved more attention than the opinions of English members. The amendment was put to a division and was rejected 235 to 1C7. Mr. Daherty moved an amendment that proclamations only be issued on the report of a Judge of the High Court after a local inouiry. Mr. Holmes, the Irish Attorney-General, opposed the amendment on tbe ground that it was not advisable to remove any responsibility from the executive. A local inquiry would be valueless, because the Judge would have no power to take evidence on oath. Mr. Clancey said that the Government would Lave been more candid if they had given an the reason for their opposition to the amendment their desire to retain for political purposes tbe power of proclaiming a district. The amendment was rejected by a vote Of 202 t 126. Mr. Ehaw-Lefevre moved an amendment limitini; the authority of the Viceroy in proclaiming to districts where It might be necessary for the prevention of crime and outrage. He appealed to the Government to assent to the alteration, which be said would bring the clause in accordance with the act of 1832. Sir 11. K. Webster, Attorney-General, said that it was refreshing to bear Mr. Ehaw-Iefevre defining the act of 1882. The Government, he added, could not accept the proposed. The object of the bill being- ta punish the authors as well as to jKcvrnt the commission of cxime, the

amendment would hamper the operation of the measure. Mr. Morley said he had never heard a rooie ludicrous reason given for the omission of an important limitation. It showed that the real object of the bill w.ia not the prevention of crime, but the suppression of political combinations. Cheers. Mr. Eradlaueh suggested that, to meet the views cf the Government, the words "and punishment," be added to the amendment after the word "prevention. Mr. Ealfour announced that the Government accepted the amendment with Mr. Bradlaugh's modification. Cheers. An amendment providing that a proclamation should endure six months, and another providing that a week's notice should be eiven, were rejected. The Government accepted an amendment offered by Mr. Fowler making proclamations subject to a veto of either house of Parliament. After several other amendments had been rejected, Attorney-General Holmes moved to amend tie clause by making summary jurisdiction and change of venue apply to crimes committed before tbe issue of a proclamation if such crimes are committed after the passage of the act. Mr. Healy said he considered the proposal a breach of faith, made in order to occupy the little time that was left for discussion. The amendment was carried by a vote of 227 to 118. Tried for High Treason. Leidig, June 13 The trial of the members of tbe Alsatian Patriotic Lcsgne, on a charge of high treason, for supporting attempts to separate Alsace-Lorraine from Germany, was begun here to-day.

Tne prisoners are defended by a great array of distinguished counsel, including the local advocates Herren Luden, Lehman, Freitag and Fils; Herr Munckel, of Berlin; Herren Ott and Schettenstein, cf Strasburg, and Herr Strover, of Metz. Ills Malady Incurable. Lo5i05, June 13. The Chronicle's Berlin correspondent emphasizes the recent adverse report regarding the condition of the Cr jwn Prince of Germany. He asserts that Prince Bismarck considers the Crown Frince.'s life doomed, and that the latter'a family are prepared for tbe worst. The correspondent says he has heard that the real statement ot Professor Virchow was concealed; that the Professor went to the palace, and, with tears in his eyes, declared that his examination had led hira to believe that the malady was incurable, and that the Prince's life was in

danger. Davltt OatwttteU the Police. Duelis, June 13. When it was discovered yesterday that Michael Davltt had outwitted the authorities and was holding a meeting at Feakle, a force of police was sent from Bodyk9 to disperse it. It did not reach Feakle, however, until after Mr. Davitt had finished speaking and had left the place. A severe fracas occurred between the police and the crowd which had attended the meeting, and several persons were Injured. King William Improving, Berlis, June 13 Thia morning s official bulletin says that Emperor William continues to make good progress toward recovery. He slept well last night. Crown Prince Frederick left Berlin for London to-day to take part in the Queen's jubilee celebration. Before departing he called at tbe Emperor's palace and took leave of his rsajesty.

In the limited space allowed for clerks and customers in tbe exchange, at the junction of Pearl and Beaver streets, there was an excited throng anxious to reach the brokers with orders or receive from them the result of orders already made, while arjun i the ring almost every broker outside of the bear clique had orders to sell. The buying orders to-day generally came from 8 Gruner, Cropsman vV: Co. These firms represented U p clique which first started the boom in ccCee about eighteen months ago, causing it to advance from 8 cents to 13 cents a pound. At the latter figure a number cf Bio Janeiro operators, called the Brazilian party, who have bee a bears on tha mnTfcpt all 1hf wav nn t 1ft rents cbarged thir position and became buyers I cuu cariitu lue pnuo auuye i teuuj, wunu figure it crossed about two weeks ago. They are now said to be loaded heavily, one hou&e being reported to hold 600.000 bags for their account.

A Negro Kavlsher Lynched for an At. tempted ltape. Xekia, Ohio, Jnne 13. At Jamestown, this county, on Saturday night at about midnight, Peter Betters, a colored man, made a desperate attempt at murder and rape upon an old colored lady, Martha Thomas, aged nearly seventy-five years. He gamed entrance to her fog cabin by digging a trench from the outside and coming up from tbe hole into the room in which the old lady was sleeping. A most desperate struggle ensued, in which the old lady was terribly mangled, and was nnconscious when found. The alarm was given and the assailant arrested, bnt broke through the gHard and escaped. Tbe neighborhood was greatly excited over the affair, and the fugitive negro hunted down. In the fair grounds, where the cyclone played such fearful havoc some time ago, are many trees bent by the Btorm and making excellent gallows. To one of these the body of Betters was found hanging this (Monday) morning, cold and dead. Whether hung by the msb or by his own band, can not be determined at this time, but it is generally believed that the work was quietly done by the infuriated cit:zns of Jamestown in the dead hour of night, and Btrlct secrecy sworn on the spot by the avengers.

On Saturday eveniDg occurred the Olwin prize oratorical contest in the lumor class, in which six strove for the prize. This was captured by Juiia Johnson, ot Greenwood, who took for her subject "Garrison." U, A. Cuppy took second place with the sub ject, "The Genesis of Individualism." The decision of the judges for the tint place was universally accepted, but tor sec ond place there was quite a difference of opinion.

Mr. Kirtley, of lerre Haute, who gave a very com plete history of Baptist missionary work up to the present time, In tbe afternoon very appropriately came the farewell exercises in respect to Miss Lenore Ayers, who soon leaves for Japan as a missionary.

At 7:30 occurred the baccalaureate ser mon, by Dr. Scott, from the text, "These works that I do and greater works shall you do. because I go to my father." This, like all of the doctor's sermons, was a masterly eflort. He discussed this text along two lines of thought, the permsnence and progressive in Christianity The truths of the Bible were as fixed as the eternal rocks themselves, and no discovery or invention had been made bnt what in some way lent its aid to the spread of Christianity. The sermon thoroughly bristled with pungent truth, and made us all anxious for another year to soon roll around so that we can have another feast. Brazil High School, Ktc. Brazil Jnne 11.

He had gone to his barn to hitch up his team and take his wife and daughter to evening service at the church, to which they had long belonged. Most of his children are grown up and several of them married, he being about sixty years of age. The reason for his suicidal act will remain a mere matter of conjecture.

Miss Stamp was employed by Armstrong as a typo, and the trouble began while at work in the office. She has borne an enviable reputation heretofore.

At Plttebcrg Between the Amalgamated Association and Iron Manufacturers rirrsruEG, Ta., June 13. Serious trouble is anticipated when the iron manufacturers and wage committee of the Amalgamated Association meet to arrange the scale for the ensuing year. The workmen will submit a scale which represents an advance in the wsges of all skilled employes of nearly 11 per cent. The manufacturers claim to be united, with but one doubtful-firm, and assert that they will not grant any Increase, but will be willing to sign last year's scale. On the outside it is rumored that they will agree to pay the boilers $5.50 per ton, but will resist any advance in the other departments. It is not probable, however, that the boilers will accept any proposition that does not include all the members cf the Amalgamated Association. Tbe date of tbe confeience is still in doubt. The manufacturers want the workmen to meet them on Tuesday, the 21st instant, but the latter are anxious to have the matter settled this week, and will insist upon a meeting cot later than next Thursday. In the event of a disagreement over the scale a strike of all the iron workers in tbe country who are members of the Amalgamated Association will take place. Mr. Powderly on tne Labor Party. BcsTOJf. June, 13. Speaking of the Labor party and its probable successes in 1888, Mr. Powderly said: "I do not know how successful tbe party will be In 18S8, but I believe it will keep on growing until it la succeful. Everything can not be accomplished in a day, and the Labor party can cot gain everything in a year. You know a good job ran cot be done in a hurry. The only way to do is to work along s!owly and patiently until the desired remit is obtained." "Will jou be tbe candidate of the Labor party for President in lSSS?' 'No, emphatically no," replied Mr. Powderly with great decision; "nor the candidate of any otter party." "What do you think of an Independent Labor party?" was the next inauiry. "That is a question which I have not the the time to discuss." The Semi-Monthly Pay Day Question. Charleston, W. Va., June 13. There was a meeting of the Miners' Union at Kanawha yesterday for the purpose of discussing the semi-monthly pay day. It is not definitely known what was done, but it is feared that the agitation will lead to trouble, and the announcement of the determination of the miners is anxiously awaited by operators who employ union miners. An act was passed by the Legislature at its last session changing ,he pay day to semi-monthly, but so far the operators have cot complied with it, and many of them are unable to meet the demand. Many of the miners have signed contracts for pay monthly, but as a majority of the signers are union men they will either have to abide by the decision of the meeting to day or withdraw from the organization. Amlcalby Ad j as ted. riTTsriVRG, Pa., June 13. The trouble between the Amalgamated Association Convention and Mouongahe.'a Lodge of the Keystone iron works has been settled by the lodge returning their charter. The committee which surrendered the charter had no authority to do so, and the lodge will punish it for its unlawful action by suspension or expulsion. The discussion of the ecale was continued by the convention to-day and will probably last through to morrow. The delegates denounce as false the repeated statement that there is danger of a split between tbe puddlers and finishers. The request of the manufacturers for a postponement of the wage conference for a week had cot been acceded to, but the committee will probably not begin their annual wrangle before Thursday or Friday. The Home Clab Breaking Up Nsw ork, June 13 The Home Club of District As&embly 4'J, K. of L., which has caused so much trouble among the other district assemblies of this city, is said to be fast disintegrating.

The report was to have been made yesterday, as the result of strong pre8suie, but it was not forthcoming, and members declare that if it is not submitted next Sunday there will be war. Work to Be Resumed. Chicago, June 13. "Yes, the coke strike is settled," said Superintendent J. C. Parke?, of the North Chicago Rolling-mill Company, this morning. "We have received dispatches which say that the men are at work and shipping will be commenced at once. We will probably receive some coke in two or three days, but will not have a sufficient supply to warrant ua recommencing work before the end ot the week. In that case we .will start no at once, and in all probability our South Chicago mill will be in full blast again next Monday." Refuse to Pay Aa Advance. Pittsburg, June 13. A new feature of the sli ike in the coke regions to-day was the action of the owners of the blast furnaces. They sent a committee to members of the late syndicate and Informed them that they would positively refuse to pay more than $1.50 per ton for coke. They would keep their furnaces banked. This E laces the coke operators between two res. They say that it will be impossible for them to pay the advance in wages and then reduce the price in coke. Coke Works Resume Work P1TT6BUBG, June 13.
