Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Nov. 17.-All indications
point to there being great difficulty be-
fore the government in passing the bill
to extend the Ashbourne land purchase
act. The announcement in the house
of the governments intention to intro
duce the bill, has created the beginning
of storm which threatens the attempt
to pass the measure with determined
opposition. The government whips are
not agreed on a method of procedure
regarding the debate on the bill, and
great bitterness is felt on all sides. 1t
is certain that the government will be
compelled to apply the cloture rule at
each stage of the debate. Another
danger ahead for the government lies in
the obstinacy with which MIR. Goschen
adheres to the wheel tax, which has been
denounced by all parties. The govern
ment is in sad dilemma over it. They
are afraid to press the adoption of the
obnoxious tax for fear of offending the
unionistss who are opposed to it, and
Mr.. Goschen, for his part, firmly clings
that bill will be introduced in parlia-
tlement of all claims which are now
lodged with Irish land commissioners.
Howard Vincent, M. p, is pressing Mr..
GoSchen to impose an extra duty upon
the employers of foreign servants. in
order that the unemployed at home may
have better opportunity for obtaining
work.

TOOK EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.
Female Thieves Make Free With
Railroad Property,

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-During the
last week thoroughly organized band
of thieves has been stealing timber and
railroad ties from the Central railroad.
of New Jersey, where the company is
building new bridges over the Passaic
at Newark. Watchmen are placed at
night to guard the tools of the men em-
ployed by the bridge building firm of
COlfrOd & Saylor, of Philadelphia, who
are replacing the wooden bridges at
that point with iron structures. The
night watchmen were alarmed early I'D
the week, at about 10 o'clock at night,
by the sound of moving timber. Up
the track. eastward of the bridges,
they found gang of about
lOO women, few men and
large crowd of boys. They were rolling
ties that had been torn from the track
down the embankment and carting
them away. The watchmen endeavOred
to drive Off the thieves, bnt were driven
back by volley of stones. Every night
since then the gang has been strength
ened, and last night enlarged its opera
tionS by using teams of horses to draw
away timberS measuring six by twelve
inches Oh the end, and from twelve to
sixteen feet long. The work went on
all night, the thieves beating back the
guards with stones every time they APP
approached. AS the guards were not
armed with revolvers, they had to re-
treat. The thives take the wood to
neighboring houses, where it is cut up
in short lengths and carted out of
sight. Tbe Central Railroad OF New
Jersey has sent detectives to the field of
operations to get the names of the
leaders of the gang and proofs that will
lead to their conviction. Thus far the
depredations amount to about $1,000.

SAILED UNDER AN ALIAS.
Mrs. King Lived in Chicago as
Mrs. William BeechIer.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-The woman who
shot young Harry King lives at No. 203
Cass street, fashionable district in the
north division, and is known as Mrs.
William Beechler. To a reporter, who
called at the house, the servant maid in
charge said that Mr.. Beechler had not
been at home for six weeks, and that
Mrs. Beechler left the city, ostensibIy
for Cleveland. Being more closely
questioned, the girl admitted that King
and Beechler were one and the same.
Speaking of her mistress, the maid
continued: ''On Thursday even
ing she heard something about
Mr.. King. She said she heard he was
going to marry Miss Duffy. Her huS-
bands father and brother knew all
about it, and she said they were afraid
young King was going to get married
again. Mrs. Beechler cried all night.
She did not say anything about going to
Omaha, she said Cleveland was where
she was going. She must have made up
her mind to go On very short notice.
She just put a few things together and
left about l o'clock yesterday after
noOn." The servant added that Mrs.
Beechler asked her before going away
to care for her little boy during her alb
sence. OF late Mrs. Beechler has COM
planned to her that Mr.. BeechIer was

SCARED spECULAToRs.
The New Russian Loan Raises a
Howl on the German Bourses.

The New Russian Loan Raises q
Howl on the German Bourses.
BERLIN, Nov. 17.-The new Russian
loan is fast raising discomfort among
the German bourses. The reports of an
alliance between France, Russia and
Spain, and rumors of Russian troops on
the frontier of Germany, are phe-
nomena which are associated with the
Russian loan. Another tripartite al
lance againet the central European al
lance of Germany, Austria and Italy,
has not yet been achieved, but it is
aimed at in Minister GobIet's speech
before the chamber of depu ties in de-
fense of the vatican. The speech was
meant to allure Catholic Spain toward
sympathetic neutrality, if not actual
alliance with France. The Berlin for
eign Office is quite alive at the growing
understanding between France and
Spain, but all eventual alliance of the
two countries is deemed very imprOba-
bic. In regard to the movements of
Russian troops the Cologne Gazette, in
a semi-official communication, says:
s'The scope of the new Russian military
orders cannot be accurately known until
war experts, having clear data on the
matter, can pronounce upon it. The
reasons published at st. Petersburg for
the redistribution of the army feebly
try to conceal the truth, but in Berlin
they are estimated at their true value.
The fact that Russia is pushing
fresh divisions toward the frontier
of Germany demands keen attention,
although men of business need not dis
cover in these movements any imme-
diate threat against European peace.
The Cologne Gazette and other papers
show the same uneasineSS. although
they concur in considering it improba-
bic that Russia will openly hasten for
ward her war preparations at the very
moment she is
APPEALING FOR NEW LOAN.
Nevertheless the money market does
not like to see Russia borrowing money.
The bourse in Paris does not consider
the loan an unmiXed evil, since it ar
ranges to use one-third OF the whole
amOant for conversion. This fact mod
ifies the hostility to the loan in Berlin.
Still, no subscription list will be opened
in Berlin and Frankfort. On the
contrary, the semi-official press
advises investors to unload on
faris. Il Is Is hesed ....,d that the re-
opening of the French market 70 rus
sian loans will facilitate the sales to
German holders. The Post issues a
warning against the investment by Ger
mans in Russian bonds. The paper
concludes that the purpose of this loan
is to strengthen Russian credit and en-
courage belief that her permanent
policy will be pacific, so that she may
ere long raise larger loan designed for
war purposes. Already during the week
large amounts of Russian stocks have
buyers appear to be Influenced by other
than business ideas. A spirit akin to
the mad excitement relative to the
Panama canal speculation incites the
French investor to risk his money in
favor of his beloved ally. Russian Sc
curities have fallen q per cent here
since Thursday.
