The procedure for reopening the case has, therefore, definitely commenced. i Admiral Miller, who raised the United States flag over Hawaii, returned to Ban Fraarisco on his flagship, the Philadelphia. Be regards the situation on the ufiands as satisfactory to this Government. Owing to America’s protest,' because the estate rt the late Colonel McMurdo, an American, is involved, the Delagoa Bay negotiations have been deferred until 18fl&, or until the Berne award is completed. Dr. Naney Gullford no longer denies that she is the midwife of Bridgeport, Conn., charged with the death of Emma Gill. She is now in the infirmary of the Holloway jail, London, suffering from nervous collapse. Owing to Italy’s financial straits, the minister of marine, Admiral di Canevaro, has renounced the sweeping naval program, involving the expenditure of 540,090,000 lire, and will be satisfied, with a naval credit this year of 28,000,000 lire. A ministeriaLerisis is thus averted. It is expected that the budget for the current year will show a deficit of 17,000,000 lire. New pearl fields of great richness have been discovered off the coast of New Caledonia on the west side, according to United. States Consul Wolf at Noumea. He says that one shell contained the fabu- i bus number of 256 pearls and one little boat of one and a half tons furnished last year twenty-two pounds of pearls. Up to this time the water has not been sounded to a greater depth than six feet seven inches, but the fisheries are to be farther exploited by French and Austrian syndicates. Mr. Wolf says that the quality of the pearl shells is remarkably fine and he urges that Americans profit by the discovery.

IN GENERAL

The late Thomas F. Bayard left an estate valued at $75,000. The steamer Amnr has arrived at Victoria from Skaguay with about three hundred pounds of gold dust. The Third Illinois Regiment is to be brought back from Porto Rico as soon aa transports can be prepared. ■tor. Dr. Cunningham Geikie, the wellknown religious commentator and historian, is dead. He was 78 years old. Mrs. Margaret J. Evans of Minnesota has been elected the first woman member of the American board of foreign missions. The schooner Fortune Hunter, with a party of gold seekers from Chicago, has bean wrecked in Golovin Bay, Alaska. Sterling Marton of Chicago is believed to have been drowned. Felipe Agoncillo, the representative of Agtiina.ldo, the leader of the Filipinos, sailed from New York for Havre on the French liner La Touraine. He is accompanied by his secretary, Sixto Lopez. All the sugar refining interests are now openly selling granulated sugar at 5 cents a pound. Owing to rebates to the grocers the net return to the refiners is such that the trade is agreed that the present price Graves no margin of profit to the refining interests. William Ogilvie, Yukon commissioner, tans been empowered by the Canadian Government to make a searching investigation into Yukon scandals, and Gordon Hunter, barrister, of Victoria, B. C.» has been appointed to replace Gold Commissioner Fawcett.The Olcott committee, appointed by the Eastern stockholders and creditors of the National Linseed Oil Company to arrange for a reorganisation of the company, has given tip hope of obtaining the co-opera-tion. rt the committee appointed by local stockholders, and is appealing to individuals to sign the agreement. The- Canadian police are completing the entabFistaaent of a chain of police stations along: the Upper Yukon, from Dawson on to Lake Bennett. The stations are now abort thirty miles apart. Five men have been detailed for each post. Each station has supplies for two years and numerous dtags. The soldiers are to carry dispatches ami facilitate tltoforwarding of mails, and ara instructed W assist all travelers, of wteaa ftom 6,600 to 8.000 are expected to eomoout over the ice. Briadstreet’s says: “With the exception of seme parts of the South where heavy storms and yellow fever with resulting quarantines check distribution, a very large- business appears to be doing, though eouspiamts of a narrow margin of profit are- well nigh unanimous. It has been a carnival and fall celebration period at a number rt Western cities and a resulting large distribution both fetail and wholesafe is reported. Prices of leading staples, while showing rather more irregularity, are- in the main well held.”

MINERS IN BATTLE.

Meet the Deputies in Deadly Conflict at Virden. STATE TROOPS SENT. Fourteen Were sHltd ud Maay Fatally Woutded by Rifle BuHete. Effort of the Coal Mine Operator* to Bring Negro Miner* from the South Causes Trouble -Twenty-five More or Less Severely Wounded Railway Cars Are Riddled with BalletaTanner Send* Troop*. The expected tragedy at Virden, HL, was enacted Wednesday. A train load of negro miners who were brought to Virden to take the places of the men who were on strike was met by a mob of strikers, variously estimated at from five hundred to fifteen hundred, and a battle ensued, in which many were killed or wounded. The striking miners had been awaiting the coming of the negroes for several days. They have been armed during all of that time and have paraded the streets of the town, openly avowing their purpose to prevent the negroes from landing. The tragedy is the resuk of a determined effort on the part of the Chicago-Vir-den Coal Company to employ negro miners brought from Alabama to take the places of miners on a strike. The strikers were equally determined and both sides sought to win by force of arms. Firing began when the train loaded passed the station and continued all along the line of the stockade, where the principal battle took place. Here the miners were in force and they were opposed by a strong force of guards. The train, riddled with bullets, pulled out and proceeded to Springfield, without unloading the negroes. After a desperate fight the guards retreated to the stockade and the men went to town, where the man in charge of the conqnny store, was shot, beaten and kicked until fatally wounded. Of the dead, six are miners, one a Chicago and Alton detective, one a stockade guard—Al Morgan of Chicago—and two detectives, W. W. Carroll and W. W. Clarkson. The wounded include eight strikers, six Pinkertou and Thiele men and seven guards at the stockade. Thos. Preston, formerly a lieutenant of police in Chicago, was killed by the militia. He was on guard at the stockade and failed to respond to an order to halt. Troops were sent by Gov. Tanner to protect life "and property and he asked the Federal authorities to allow him to use Col. Culver’s regiment. He insisted the soldiers should not aid the coal mine operators in their purpose of working imported negro miners, and he declares the operators ought to be convicted for causing the bloodshed. Mr. Lukens, the company’s manager, is quite as vehment in his denunciation of the Governor for his failure to send troops sooner.

GREENE GIVES TESTIMONY.

General Tells Some Things to *h« War Investigating Committee. Gen. F. V. Greene, who was in charge of one of the divisions of United States troops at the battle of Manila, told the war investigating commission that he sailed from San Francisco to Manila on the steamer China, an excellent vessel, which was inspected by a board of officers before it teas chartered. He found the ship in good condition, bnt the men necessarily were crowded. Four months' provisions and a large quantity of quartermaster's and medical supplies were carried. With a few exceptions, the loading -was carefully done, though there was some misplacement, owing to haste. Gen. Greene said there was no complaint during the voyage of a scarcity of suppKes. but during the first two days out there was some dissatisfaction with the cooking. This was soon improved, and no criticism was heard afterwards. The details of the ocean trip and of the battle of Manila were related in a manner calling for the closest attention from the commissioners, but covering the same ground as his report to’ the War Deimrtment recently made public. He spoke of the insurgents who lay between his forces and the Spanish lines. It was. the witness said, impossible to give an estimate of their number, but he thought it was about 10,000. They were well supplied with Mauser and Remington rifles, many of which they had captured from the Spaniards and others they had purchased abroad.

DANGER IN FRANCE.

Jules Meline Utters Serious Warning Against Agitation and Unrest. Jules Meline. premier of the French ministry preceding the present Government of M. Brisson and who presided at a bouquet of the Association of Railway Employes at EpiuaL. France, uttered a serious warning against the agitation and unrest in France, class troubles and strikes. Referring to the “divided state •jf society, the violence of polemics and the sectarian spirit displayed in politics,” he said it mis impossible to see France thus torn by factions and devoured by political passions, while daily the principle of authority was undermined, the army was weakened, and the institutions upon which rested the security of the nation were shaken, without thinking of “that opening in the Vosges through which «s invading army could pass,” or without thinking of “some unforeseen temptation being offered to the foreigner.” The adversaries of France, however, had no need to dechire war, said M. Meline. They were content to wait the exhaustion of France.

M'KINLEY AT OMAHA.

PRESIDENT «S WELCOMED WITH ENTHUSIASM. Mr. McKinley naff ffßrty Arrive Ms the KxpMitioa City and Are Greeted by *b Kaerraeaa Oowd—The Trir Throash Weetera State*. ———— ■ «to Two hundred thousand eitixens rt the transmissouri region welcomed President McKinley to the Omaha peace jubilee. The enthusiasm of the greeting was worthy of the great West and the President of the republic. President McKinley was profoundly impressed with the magnitude' of the demonstration. He said as much in words and more in actions, for he made no effort to conceal his pleasure. From the time the special bearing the distinguished guest passed into the city until the President entered his quarters for repose an hour later he received a continual ovation. All ideas of confining the delighted people to tie curbstones was abandoned before the presidential party entered, and aa it proceeded through the streets in vehicles the acclaiming multitude touched the very wheels of the carriages and goodnaturedly elbowed for room in which to raise and wave flags a*d other emblems of a national nature. It was a few minutes past 9 o'clock when the headlight of the presidential special glistened on the great bridge separating Nebraska and lowa. The thousands surrounding the station greeted the appearance of the locomotive with shouts prolonged. The steam whistles and bells of the city took up the acclaim and for a few minutes the whole city resounded with a perfect medley of discordant sounds. President McKinley was ready to alight almost as the train came to a halt, and before the platoon of police could press back the crowd which closed around the presidential special. The members of the reception committee boarded the train in Council Bluffs and to them the Presider* remarked upon the ease of the journey, adding: "Such a welcome would make any one forget the fatigue of a thousand such journeys.” Fecond Train Arrive*. Scarcely had greetings been exchanged when the army and nary special arrived. T*»e two trains had crossed the State practically as two sections, running the last 100 miles almost in sight of each other. As the occupants of the two trains mingled on the platform the reception committee assigned the visitors to carriages, and the profession moved toward the renter of the city. President McKinley. Mayor Frank E. Moores of Omaha anq President Wattles of the exposition occ spied the front carriages, and others spread out for a distance of several hundred yards. King Ak-Sar-Ben and 309 of ais knights, composing the secret entertainment organization of Omaha, acted as escorts to the President. They formed a cavalcade that added much to the beauty of the procession. The Ak-Sar-Ben knights formed into platoons as outriders, escorting each carriage in fours. Thus the procession passed north on Tanth street to Farnam and west on Farnam to the city hall, where the distinguished guests alighted to witness the festivities of the evening. Every turn of the wheels gave the President new sunrises as to the magnitude and enthusiasm of Omaha’s peace jubilee crowd. The cavalcade only tried to keep the jubilant crowds Lack six feet from the carriages of the chief executive a*d his party, but even this was futile, an/ the vehicles were impeded in their progress by the weight of human bodies. When the army chiefs’ vehicle passed the shouts and wild acclaim of the crowd was scarcely lees than that with which the I’resident was greeted. ■ - CROWDS ALONG THE WAY.

Ovation Given the Preaideat by People of Illinois and lowa. Wherever the presidential train stopped in Illinois and lowa the demonstrations were enthusiastic beyond precedent. At »he stations through which the trains unshed at full speed the enthusiasm was not less evident, but the people were compelled to content themselves with a cheer and were rewarded by a wave of the hand. The presidential train arrived in Chicago about 7 o'clock in the morning over the Pennsylvania road and was swung around to the Chicago and Northwestern by the belt line. The engine which pulled the presidential train put of Chicago was one of the most powerful ever made, and was bedecked with flags and bunting until it looked like a triumphal car. The President's journey through Wintfis and lowa was a continuous ovation. The first stop was made at Dekalb, and here the President spoke a few words in response to the crowd's enthusiastic welcome. At Clinton. lowa, a great crowd was at the station when President McKinley's traits roiled in. Senator Allison joined the presidential party here. The President appeared on the rear platform and was received with tremendous eterrs. The President left the train for the first time at Cedar Rapids. A platform elaborately decorated stood near the track, and from here Mr. McKinley delivered an address which brought cheers from 10,00© lusty throats.
