As further cause for complaint it is claimed that Mr. Hill, ever since the union wn the great strike in IStU. has been systematically violating the agive--ment made at that time. NEWS NUGGETS.

Senator Thomas Henry Carter Wednesday issued this call for a uieetinj; of the Republican National Committee on Dec. 1U in Washington: 'Headquarters Republican National Committee, New York City. The Republican National Committee is hereby called to unet at the Arlington Hotel, Washington. 1). C. at '2 p. m., Deo. 1, lS'JÖ, to designate a time and place for the meeting of the national convention in lNlRJ. and to 'transact such other business as mar demand consideration. "THOMAS H. CARTER. Chairman. "JOSEPH IL MANLFY, Secretary." The option was given to Chairman Carter to choose one of two dates, Dec. I or 10. At the urgent reque-st of some of the committeemen who live in the extreme West, and to accommodate Joseph H. Mnnley, chairman of the Executive Committee, Mr. Carter decided on Dec. 10 as the date of the meeting. In either case it wouM mean an early convention, beginning about June 1. while it would be within the interpretation of the sixmonths rnle to hold the convention the last week in May. as (Jen. .lames S. Clarkson, William M. llahu and Joseph 11. Mauley desire. In a rear-end collision at Hyde Park, eight miles from Boston, on the Providence division of the Consolidated Road, Thursday night, a brakeman was killed, two passengers fatally injured and nineteen others seriously hurt. The New London express, on time, running at a speed of fifty miles an hour on a down grade, came in collision with the rear end of the Dedham local passenger train, telescoping a combination and a passenger car in which were about 100 persons. The rear brakeman was so badly crushed that he died in an hour, and two passengers, one a woman, were dug out from the burning debris and removed to the Massachusetts general hospital in a dying condition. Among the passenge-rs who were within four feet of death and who escaped from the wreck through car windows were .1. Montgomery Sears, the wealthiest man in New Knirla ml, whose holdings apurcpüe ?70.O00,W0, and Congressman Elijah A. Mors-, of Canton. The irorty loss to the railroad company will exceed $01 M.N N) and the accident loss through injuries will without doubt be close on .?. MM). Music Hall in Baltimore was packed to the doors at the closing exercise of the National Y. C. T. V. convention Wednesday night. Hundreds of women were unable to get inside. The meeting was both pathetic and enthusiastic. The womanly character asserted itself in alternate tears and smih-s. Handkerchiefs were waved frantically one moment and the next used to wipe- away the tears. The inciting cause was an address by Frances Willard favoring a resolution admitting Catholic and Hebrew women to active co-operation in W. C. T. U. work. One of tho delegates suggested it might not be cpaite consistent for the "Women's Christian Tempern nee Union" to ask Hebrews to affiliate. She l.iid special emphasis on the word "Christian." Miss Willard with a good deal of feeling said: "They have extended the hand of sympathy to our organization ami our cause. We should invite them to co-operate. I want to welcome them to us if hey want to come." A dozen or more delegates tried to kill the resolution with amendments, but they were all voted down, and Miss Willard skillfully prevented the convention getting into a religious discussion. Finally the convention enthusiastically adopted the resolution, and Miss Willard said she thanked Cod for this act of the convention, and that she considered it an honor and a pleasure to extend the hand of fellowship to Catholic and Hebrew women. WESTERN. The properties of the Uaven Tunnel and Mining Company, on Raven Hill, at Cripple Creek, Col., one of which is the Raven mine, which has produced over IfiJOO.OoO, have been sohl to C. J. Hathaway, Eben Smith, and I). II. MofJfatt. The price is understood to be more than JjUO.OOO. At Alexandria, Ind.. a receiver was appoint til for the Artificial Ice Company. At Cothenburg.

Morford on Chicago River, resulted in ih- de-it.'i of John Erickson. fireman; John Ferguson, captain, and Charles Dick, engineer. The Morford had in tow the grain steamer Ionia. The tug is a total loss 18,000. Destruction of the Morford deprives Chicago harlor ami Lake Michigan this winter of the protection afforded for the last eleven years to storm-tossed and wrecked vessels by that remarkable product of the shipbuilder! art. On Lake Michigan there is no boat to take her place, cither in the ''bin-king" of ice or in the power to steam through ice to the rescue of a disabhil vessel. A mob. composed chiefly of farmers, stormed the Seneca County jail at Tillin, Ohio, early Sunday morning in an effort to lynch Lee F. Martin, the murderer of Marshal Shullz. The Sheriff's jail force tired on the mob. instantly killing two men. Several more men were shot but not fatally wounded. Sunday was the day f Shultz's funeral, and the s-nt intent against Martin broke out with redoubled fury. The mob was imposed mostly of neighlors of the luurileiiil marshal, and the marshal's brother acted as leader. Martin was a prominent Dunkard. and killed Shultz while resisting arrest for a trilling offense. The militia was called out to guard tin- jail. Two more members of Seth Wyatt's Oklahoma band of desperadoes have answere! for th-ir deeds ot lawlessness. They are- Jim I'mbra ami "Mexh-nn John,' two Me-. teams who have bt en engaged in cattle stealing and other lawless enterprises. Thev wcie lynched by tn raged cattlei en. who hare suffered greatly at their !i:,nds. T.ic two men had stoh-n hi:y hca.i belonging to I. F. Chapman, and his ei.bojs gate chase. They dosel in on the Jespeiadoes fifteen miles Irom Cautonm-nt and after a fus-'lade of bullets the bandits surrendered. The cowboys identified the cattle, and taking a rope pulled the two men up to the first tree. A label was attached to their clothing warning other numbers of the band to quit this work or suffer the same penalty. Kankak- marsh, the famous hunting ground in Illinois, was swept by a prairie tire Saturday, and trees, brush, ami grass were til burned to the ground. The roaring blaze, headed so as to titelnde towns and farmhouses in its destructive sweep, had its course changed by a fortunate shift in the direction of the wind. This gave tin home of the farmers on the Lorde-r of the marsh a chuuee. This

swamp fire is responsible for the Grand Trunk disaster near South Bend on Saturday, in which eleven persons were injured. The cause of the wreck was a weakened culvert, which was burned, but which owing to the oense smoke that swept across the tracks was obscured from the view of the engineer. Crown Point, Hammond, and Kouts. Ind., were threatened by the fires. Kouts had the closest call, and was saved only by the extreme efforts of the citizens, who fought the flames until the wind nhled them and changed the course of the flames. Blackened and weary the men who maintained for twenty-four hours the unequal fight against the fires, which were fanned by a wind that at times blew almost the violence of a cye-lo!ieretreated in dismay.

SOUTHERN. President Lane of the Southern Cotton (rowers Association has just returne-d from a tour of the South, and says the cotton crop will be six and otu'-half million bales. He predicts January cotton will sell for 10 ceuts a hundred. Advices frm Fort ISe-nd, Texas, ami other sections give gloomy accounts of this year's crop of sujrar cane. The freeze of last winter seriously damaged the cane stubble, causing it to mature dry and hard. Land in Fort Iend County which last year produe-cd twenty to thirty tons of cane this year preduccd only three to ten tons. The cutting will be finishel iu thirty days, whereas it ordinarily takes a hundred. One of the results of the great gathering of Western men in Vicksburg incidental to the waterways convention has been the organization of the Vicksburg National Military Park Association, whose character is now in course of preparation and whose incorporators are such men as (Jeneral Lee, (leneral R. A. Alger, General John IL Cordon, ex-Governor Hoard, of Wisconsin; Colonel Fred D. Grant, and many others of equal prominence in civil life or the great conflict between the States. The object of the organization is to foster the foundation cf a national military park there similar to those at Gettysburg and Chk-Lumauga I'nrk. Augusta, (la., was visitr by the largest fire in years I-'riday afternoon. The lumber mill of Jesse Thompson Sc Co., tie largest in the South, was burned to the .'round, with 2,tKMj.(XM feet of lumber in tho yards. The loss to them is ?75,000, one-third insured. The fire then spread for two blocks. Forty-two dwellings occupied by operatives were entirely consumed. Three hundred are homeless. The loss on the-se buildings is .?4O.0OO. with little insurance. The entire fire department was called out, but owing to the distance from water and a gale from the south nothing could be done. The flames stopped when everything in line was burned. WASHINGTON. Washington is planning to have a national exposition in ll)0O. General Thomas Kwing fainted while making an argument before the Federal Supreme Court. Ex-United States Senator Van Wyck. of Nebraska, was stricken with paralysis at Washington. The South and West grain trale congress, which was e-alled for Friday at Atlanta, has been abandoned. At Hamilton, lerniuda, a hurricane is reported that caused great damage to property, but no loss of life. Itev. Dr. John G. Fe-e, founder of Ilerea (Ky.) College, has resigned his pastorate and joined the Campbellites. The appropriation for the loss on the recoinage of worn and uncurrent silver coin for the current fise-al year is exhausted and the work will be stopped. The Secretary of the Treasury will not resume, for the present at least, the coinage of silver bullion purchased under the "Sherman act." The 5'ev Orleans miut will be closed, but the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints will confine to coin gold. Tin? treasury now holds of silver bullion purchased under the "Sherman act" 1;17,04 1,000 fine ounces. It is not thought that the coinage of silver dollars will be resumed at the mint until thenis some action by Congress on the currency question. FOREIGN. At London Sir Kobert Feel has compromised with his creditors at f0 ier cent. Mrs. Langt ry, who, it was rumored about a month ago, was contemplating marriage with Sir Robert as soon as she obtained a divorce from her husband, was among the persons to whom he was indented, lie owes her about 4,f3O0. Joe Aronson, a brother of Uudolph Aronson, the well-known operatic manager of New York, was found dead at the foot of the stairs of the lodgings which he occupied in Warwick street, London. His neck was broken and it is supposed that he fell downstairs while suffering from an affe-ctiou of the heart. Fierce disturbances, accompanied by set'oiis bloodshed, are tejiorted to have taken place at Frziiigjan. Sixty Armenians are said to have been killed. The Turkish Government has sent a circular note to the representatives of the towers and to its rcpresentatievs abroad anm uncing that the outbreak was provoked by the Armenians. Madrid dispatches via Havana allege that President Cleveland had promised the Spanish minister to veto any action by Congress favorable to the Cubans. A Washington dispatch says: It can Instated positively that no such promise has been made, ami that such a promise would be so irregular and unprecedented as to be beyond the range of probabilities. William Hlaisdell, a capitalist and promoter of Hoimlulu, has been in Cleveland. Ohio, engaged in interesting Cleveland capitalists iu a vast scheme to obtain control of the best sugar-cane producing laud in the Sandwich Islands. A number of wealthy gentlemen have taken hold of th project and a company will be formed at once and capitalized at $,,000.000. The land in question consists of lö.tKMt.tMK) acres located fifteen miles from Honolulu. The nineteen men of the burned American ship Parti. ia have reached Valparaiso, Chili. The Parthla, Capt. ('arter, with a crew of nineteen, was bound from Liverpool, which port it left Jum- -. to .San Francisco. It burned iu the Pacific Ocean Oct. 1. The crew landed at Juan Fernandez Islam, all safe. The ship lelongcd to Haughton Uros. of Hath, Me., and was a double-decker of '2Ml tons, lr0 feet in length and 41-foot beam. It was built four years ago. Ueports of a c sperate battle in the San Juan c-o ff CP-growing valley, between IIolguin and Hurajngtia. were confirmed by dispatched received by the Cuban junta at New York. The forces engaged Were led byt General Antonio Macro, with 3,000 1

Cubans, and Gemral Behague. with 1.SOA Spaniards. Tlv greiter portion of the Cubans were nt actually eng-igd, ae-e-ording to the riert, but continued the 'advance townrd the west after the battle. Only f00 avalry defended the rear jf ;he Cuban a nay and kept the Spaniards from advancing About oOO of the Spauish troop were killed. A special dispatch received at London from Constantinople says that a plot has been discovered among the officials of the Sultan's palace. In consequence, it is added, numerous a tests have been made, and the residences of the ministers are now guarded by troops. Vienna advie-es from Constantinople siy that the liberal movement among .be Turks is spreading. Se-ditious placards have been discovered posted in different parts of the city and the disappearance is reported f several softas and other notablities. The government is making military preparations in anticipation of trouble. It has been learned that the reptventatives of the Spanish overnment in this country have discovered what is said to be a new plan on the part of the sympathizers with the Cuban insurgents to ship ammunition from the United States to their compatriots in Cuba. The Spanish tlovernuu'iit's representatives heaird of the scheme some time ago and employed a detective agency to investigate it. The friends of the insurgents. acerding to the story, have sent large consignments of toys to Havana. These toys consist mostly f hirg ami unusually heavy dolls. Their weight is accounted for by the detectives by the assertion that each doll contained a dozen ritle cartridges. Prussia has just published the result of the recent census. The entire population June 14, ISO.", w as ."1.401. J00, an increase of l.r.Vrj.S. or ö lo-loo per cent, since December, 1.S0O. The males increased 77..,0"1 and the females 7G-.S77. In I5erlin the increase of fenmles was two and one-half times that of men. One of the surprises of the new census was the small increase of It-rliii.s imputation, all the more startling owing to the unprecedented increase of Herlin for the years lictwcon JKTO ami 1S-.M. It was only acijss, or ".LM0 per cent., for the last four and a half years. The census shows a continuance of the movement towards cities from the country, in which Berlin had not its usual share W. T. Stead had a long article Tues day afternoon in the Westminster Gazette on "Monroeism." during the course of which he says: "Englishmen would do well not to belittle the significance of th ebullition of Ann-rh-an sentiment on the question of the Venezuelan frontier. It must Im taken with the usual discount and is no doubt lue t th- system by which foreign affairs are discussed by bawling journalists rather than by suave diplomats; but it is serious nevertheless. It gravity consists iu two farts, neither of which Ixivt anything to do with the merits of the juestion in dispute. In the first place, for the first time siuce the civil war. the Americans have I lilt a navy of which they have sme reason to be proud and which sooner or later they will use against snieboly. In the s-ond place, it is equally significant that the American press assures the United States that the Monroe doctrim has been informally adopted as a national faith by the American people and the dispatch sent to the New York World (referring to the reported llayard-Salisbury interview) probably has a basis of truth." The elis'iatch frjin Shanghai announcing the departure of a fleet of nineteen Hussian warships from Yladivostock for Chemlupo ami Fusau. Corea ami the dispatch from Hong Kong, announcing that Russia has obtained the right t anchor her fleet at Prt Arthur and construct railroads on the Liao-Tung Peninsula, have caused intense excitement in official circles in London as well as iu those having commercial relations with the far Fast. These most important statements are lookel uion gem-rally as being a sinlden reopening in an unexpected quarter of the far Lastern question in its widest sense. The Shanghai dispatch added that the Japanese licet in Formosa waters had been recall-!, that several Ilritish warships had been ordered to Corea and that preparations for a struggle were visible on all sides. The I long Kong cable message caused the Iondon Times to remark, editorially: "Uussia can not possibly imagine that the great iwers will view with indifference such a destruction of the balance of pow-r. which is almost unparalleled in its audacity." It is admitted here that the situation presented is so grave thut should tin news prove true, it would make war in which several nations will take part more than probable. It should be added that there is every reason to bcliovu that the story from I long Kong is authentic and all sources of information agre that the owers interested in the far Fast will find themselves confronted by a condition of seriousness which can not be overestimated.

A GIAXT MONOPOLY.

SYNDICATE BUYS ALL ELECTRIC STORAGE PATENTS. New Kcvo'tiitiou in the IJ'ack Hcpublic l-'retili ami Horrid Outrage by Turks in Armenia Missouri School Superintendent! Cowardly Attack. Storage l'nttery Trut. The storage battery patents of this country have pass-d into the control of a trust. The trust's official name is the Fleet ric Storage Rat t cry Company. It is capitalized at .? 1 0. ti t. Ml. Its he.-nlquar- ; ters are in Philadelphia. W. W. Cibbs. ' ef gas trust farn i its president. The backbone of tie trust is the Widener-Klkins-Yerkes combination. Hamilton Disston. th saw i:ianufa-turr. is lioavily intcivstel in the dal. This combination controls not only the patents of the l'nit-l States, but has bought the American rights to the Tudor patents, probably the most valuable of the foreign inventins in this line. It is an opn seer-t in the electrical world that great improvements are expe-tel in th strag ef cI--tricity ami its transpitatin and use. It is suspected thai these improvements are already in sight, and that the trust has read the futuiv more clearly than any one else. Armenian Villages Pillaged. Another terrible massacre of Armenians is reporteil t have oe-urred in thf liaiburt listrn-t, between Frzcroum an! Tfebizoiid. According to th news tvceived at Constantinople a mob of about r0 Mussulmans and Lazes, the great majority of whom were armed with Martini-Henry rifles, made an attack upon the Armenians inhabiting several villages of that vacinity. and set tin to their hous s and schools. A;; th Armenians ll-d in terror from their dwellings they weiv shot down as they ran. and a in.inber of men e.ml women who wr -;i-tur-d ly th rioters, it is addeil. wen fastened to stakes and burned alive. Tin Armenian woi:in who fell into th h:uil ef tin mob. it is also asserted, were brutally treated and mutilated. The surviving villagers applied for prte-ti.n to ihr (lovernor of Raiburt. who. after hearing their complaint, sent three poli-cmeu t.: the s.-ene of tin massacre after the slaughter was ended. The Turkish ot!icials. it is claimed, know tin ring!ead rs of tin outbreak, but apparently no st-ps have been taken to arrest them. The number of Armenians massacre-d at Frzingjan is now said to be s-v-ral hundred. The Turks, it is stated, have also attacked the Armenians iu th distrn t of tlumuslufagh. mar Tr-biy.onI, and have slaughtered many of them. Ilippo'ytc 1'roclai r: a State of Sice. News has been received at New York of a lvvo'.ntioii in Hayti. President Hippolyt-, it is said, has retirctl to his palace in Fort an Prince, where he is guarded by tin army which be brought down from the north with hint when he overthrew Legitime. Commercial houses in New York which do Imsincss in Hayti have been expecting this outbreak for several weeks. When dispatches came saying that Hippolyte had proclaimed a state of s-ig- in Port an Prince they were not unprepared. Their private dispatches were to the ell'-t that several of the leading men f Port an Prim e had been arrested, as well as many who had come in from the country to help swell the army of the revolution. Hippolyte proclaimed the slate of seigo on Wednesday, and innnediately ordered out a certain number of his prisoners to be shot. Though the old friends of Legitime are oncerne! iu the present movement it is said that ticn. Mauiirat is not at the head of it. The army of Hippolyte has been concent rat-d about his palace and he intends to make his linal fight. Flogged a Hcautiful Young; Woman, Prof. A. K. Atkinson.
