VIENNA, Nov. 1O.-An article in the

here. The writer warns Poland. that in

will soon be partitioned as was Poland,

people, who are now living in grumbling
discomfort under the IIapsburg sceptre.

The southern earthquakes have devei
oped much interest in seismometers, or
instruments designed to record the ma
turc and force Of the shock. Several in
g%enious instruments nave been invented
for the purpose, some very elaborate
and others extremely simple. One of
the latter class consists of a glass Of
water on which is n scum of oil. Any
agitation Of the fluid causes a wave
which shows in a mark left by the oil ON
the side of the glass.
Another simple device paralyzed a GER
tain learned company in Japan into
whose presence it was introduced by a
scholarly but waggish American. 1t
consisted merely of the familiar japanese
toy of a turtle poised on u point. This,
gentlemen" said the s%avant, lis the seis-
mometer employ. BY the simple but
delicate instrument | can at once esti-
mate the energy Of the disturbance. If
the shock is slight, the turtle shakes
only a little; if severe, the turtle shakes
a great deal" But the most novel seis-
mometer which the recent earthquakes
have developed is n colored clergyman
residing in Aiken county, South Caro-
lima. For some reason the nervous sys-
tenn of this reverend man is so organ
lied that he not only feels the slightest
shocks, and large ones in proportion, but
he can even perceive their approach.
On several occasions he has notified his
neighbors Of a shock ahead Of its com
ing. Such Il man should be in demand

Packers Modify Their Plans.

CHICAGO, NOV. 10.-Thc Packers As
ISOLATION held Il prolonged meeting with
closed doors this evening, and after much
talking adopted resolutions which seem to
be n complete back-down from their cx-
pressed determination to bar organized
labor from employment in the Chicago
stock yards. None of the packers would
talk about the meeting. They answered
all questions in monosylables. Mr.. Bald
win, secretary q. the association, said that
the resolutions meant Just what they
SAID, and that the packers intended to run
their business without dicttaion from the
Knights of Labor. The resolutions are
as follows:
WHEREAS, At the meeting on the Sth
instant resolutions were passed concern
ing the relations between employers and
labor organizations; and.
WHEREAS, We are convinced that said
action brings unintentional injustice upon
numerous persons who may be members
of such organizations,
Resotred, That said resolutions be re-
sclndod and the following be adopted rs
being more in accord with the mutual in
terests of employers and employed.
WHEREAS, The packers are confronted
with the fact that their employees are re-
peatedlY leaving their employment with
out notice to them and to the great dctri-
ment of their business; therefore.
Resoired, While we will not exclude
from employment members of such or
carnations, we will exercise the right 10
employ and discharge whom we please
and conduct our business on the ten hour
plan and according to our best interest.
Signed by all members.
Delegate Barry, when informed to-
night regarding the action of the packers
in lifting the embargo against union en-
ployes. expressed great surprise and pleas
urc. lie hoped that the packers would
now at once consent to conference to ar
range arbitration of the sole remaining
issue-a technical recognition of an eight
hour day.
In this the question of wages cuts no
figure. He would endeaver to meet the
packers o-morrow. and he felt confident
the difficulties could be readily settled. If
the packers agreed TO arbitrate, the men
would Immediately 90 to work. pending a
settlement and would abide by the find
incs of the arbitrator. The men did not
expect bat eight hours pay for eight
hours work, and would work just as much
over time at a pro rata of wages as the
employers required. If the principle of
eight hours a day was recognized.

tempt to reconcile Russia. Although

BosToN, Nov. 1O.-E. A. Perry cables
to the Herald from London this evening
as follows. In selecting Prince Waldo
mar 'of Denmark, as successor to Prince
Alexander, the Bulgarian assembly has
made a very conservative choice. 1t was
feared that the patriotic party would
bring forth Prince A~lexander's name and
insist that his abdication was legally in
complete until approved by the great
sobranie. This course may still be held
IN reserve, should the Bulgarian govern
ment find it impossible to avoid the veto

SAN Francisco, Nov. los. d.
5 1olianoff, a Russian resident of this city,
claims to have invented a nitro
glycerine bomb. He says he has discov-
cred a liquid with which nitro glycerinc
may be mixed, making it n~on-explosivc,
but by adding another chemical, nitro
glycerine is transformed to its original
state. He uses a double shell, the inside
one containing a non-explosive mixture of
nitro glycerine, and the outer one con-
tanning a chemical which liberates the
pure nitro glycerine. Maj.-Gen. Howard
says the invention is worth looking into.

upon it. The French minister of war has

CarIisIe's Contested Seat.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 0.-Reprcsenta-
tive Wcllborn, of Texas, who is one of
the ablest and most experienced parlia-
mentarlans IN the house, was asked by
an Associated Press reporter to-day what
effect a contest oven Mr.. Carlislc's seat
should there be Il contcst-would have
upon his candidacy for the speakcrship of
the house. MIR. Wcllborn replied: Such
contest would furnish no reason whatever
why Mr.. Carlisle should not be speaker of
the house in the iltieth congress. Rule
ten OF the house of representatives, reads.
Unless otherwise specially ordered by the
house, the speaker shall appoint at the
commencement Of each congress the fol-
lowing standing committees. CThe list
includes the committee on elections
and all standing committees of
the house, The rules of the
present house cannot, by their own force,
qucnt congresses. Nevertheless, by I'M
broken usage, a new house, as prclimin-
airy to It's permanent organization. adopts
the rules of the prior house, Such, |
take 1t, will be the course tn the next
house, and rule ten will thus control the
the constitution of the committees in the
ffticth congress. Should there be a con
test over Carlisle seat, the house itself
will, in some suitable way. select the com
mlttee on elections, and thus Carlisle will
be relieved of any possibility of cmhar-
rassment on that score. TO hold that
Thoebes contest with Mr.. Carlisle dis
qualities the latter for speaker, is illogical
and absurd. Ifsuch holding was followed,
the influence and power of the leaders of
