LONDON, April For the moment
Prince Bismarck wins in his contest
against the marriage of Prince Alexander
to Princess Victoria, but it is feared in Ber-
lin that he will lose in the end with the re-
suit OF transferring the matter from the
Imperial household to the foreign Office.
1t is asserted that the late Emperor Will
liam promised Prince Bismarck when the
marriage was first spoken OF as agreeable to
the then Crown Prince and his wife and as
matter Of affection on the part OF the
Princess Victoria and her suitor that the
wedding should never take place.
Now that the subject is brought up again
with view of carrying the matter through
TO the end OF making the eI-Ruler OF Bull
garia part of the Royal and Imperial
household Prince Bismarck has insisted on
q renewal of the Imperial pledge with the
object of testing to the fullest extent his
influence with the present Emperor In op-
position to that of his wife. The Emperor,
moved by the representations of the EN-
press, hesitates to forever blight the hopes
of his daughter, while yet he cannot bring
himself to the point of disregarding the
Cbancellor's assurance that the marriage
would be a direct insult and a standing
menaRe to Russia.
Queen Victoria. with her proverbial
doggedness and love of matchmaking, wilt
probably persist in her intention Of going
to Berlin for the purpose of reurging the
alliance in spite of the risk of offending
Russia and disrupting the relations between
Prince Bismarck and Emperor Frederick.
The Berliners are disgusted at the increas-
ing signs of petticoat government and
fervently pray that Prince Bismarck may
be successful in thwarting the plans OF
the Empress and her mother. The almost
unanimous opinion Is that the match-mak-
ing mother and grandmother and their ad-
herents will, in the event of their forcing
the marriage, discover that it is much more
important to the vital interests of Ger
many and the peace o Europe that the
Chancellor remain at the head of the state
affairs than the Taxpayers should have an
other Prince to support.
The miners of New Castle are ballo ting
upon the question whether or not they
shall continue the salaries of commoners
Burt and Fenwick, respectively. sitting for
the divisions of Morpeth and Wansbeck.
Both gentlemen are Gladstonian Liberals
and represent almost exclusively mining
constituencies. Neither is possessed of
sufficient fortune to maintain himself in
Parliament unaided and both are paid sal
aries raised by assessments levied upon the
election. Yesterdays voting stood at the
close of the polls slightly in favor Of con-
tinuing the stipends. The balioting will
end today.
At Newmarket yesterday twenty-five per-
sons were tried before a bench OF magis-
trates for hooting the police The magis-
trates were unable to agree, and as future
conviction seemed impossible, the prisoners
were discharged.

A BIG SYNDICATE FORMED.
For Operating Under the Hall Patents on
Improved Processes for Refining Oil.
Five Million Dollars to be Invested in
Refineries in this State.

Improved Processes for Refining Oil.
Five Million Dollars to be Invested in
Refneries in this State.
TOLEDO, April Am extensive syndi-
cate of capitalists has been formed here for
operating under the Hall patents on I'M
proved processes for refining oil, which the
international oil company control in the
United States.
The plans of the syndicate are not yet
matured in detail, but the scale on which
they contemplate engaging will require a
capital of $5.0O0,0 ,000 The point in Ohio at
which they will erect the first refinery has
not been fully determined, although they
have severals in view. The nature of the
process requires an abundant supply of
pure. fresh water.
1t is stated that by the new process one
barrel Of the crude petroleum will make
fifty thousand feet of gas of good qualify.
1t il predicted that it will cause a fuel
revolution all over the country. Gas can be
produced chsaply, even from petroleum
transported by rail in localities not reached
by the great system of pipe lines proposed.
as to render its use for fuel economical
The syndicate has practical monopoly
in the country, but the contract specifies
that the price for an equivalent of q
ton of coal-l2 feet of gas-shall not ex-
ceed the ruling price OF coal In any locality.
Six weeks ago an apparatus for making
gas under the new process was put into the
Toledo Gaslight and Coke Company's works
and unsuspecting consumers have been
supplied with Hall gas for over month.
The contract closed gives the syndicate
control of the Hall process under pay
ment of certain royalty and under condi-
ton that they 'treat" 5000 barrels per diem
for certain time. then increase to 10000
barrels for another period, after which the
minimum will be 5000 barrels per diem.
To do this the syndicate will at once pro-
cead to build good sized refinery at Lima,
Ohio, another at FiIdlay, and finally q
mammoth concern at Toledo. The gas
deal was completed on different basis
although the syndicate getting the control
of it is practically the same as the other
and the gas company owning the Hall gas
process is the same as the oil company.

THE OLD STORYh
a Lsvfng Couple, an Obstinate Aristo-
cratic Mother, Attempted Suicide, but
the Happy Ending Not Yet Reported.

A Lsving Couple, an Obstinate Aristo-
cratic Mother, Attempted Suicide, but
tho Happy Ending Not Yet Reported.
CHICAGO, April THE attempt of q
young and beautiful girl to commit suicide
brought to the knowledge of the police
last evening q romantic story of love and
disappointment.
Agnes Masters, nineteen years old, hand
some in face and figure and accomplished
in education has been a governess in the
known railroad man. In the family there
was twenty-year-old boy, the eldest son
and the pride of the family. The boy fell
deeply in love with the pretty governess
and she reciprocated his affection. They
were secretly engaged, fearing to tell his
parents The boy proposed a runaway mar
riage, but Agnes objected to this.
The father was first approached, and
with him it was easy to carry their point
He had been greatly prepossessed in favor
of the girl, and when fully assured that the
attachment was sincere and lasting one
gave his consent to the marriage and offered
to set his son up in business.
But the aristocratic mother violently op-
posed the match, when she was told of it,
and calling the governess up stairs she
rudely ordered her TO leave the house.
Agnes went back to live with her
sister, and for couple of months
she kept up her courage, the young
man making daily visits to her. A month
ago these visits suddenly ceased. Only
recently she learned that the son had
been sent to Europe at the re-
quest of his mother to see
il absence would not cure the infatuation.
The deserted girl has pined away, her
health failing daily becoming all the while
more morose and distracted in her man
ner.
The young lady in the evening pro-
cured box Of poison and attempted to take
it but was discovered before she had taken
enough to kill her. She declares that she
will yet take her life

THE BURLINGTON WINS.
The Strikers Acknowledge the Ending of
Their Unsuccessful Contest-The On
cials Refuse to Arbitrate or Discharge
the New Men.

Their Unsuccessful Contest-The ON
the New Men.
CHICAGO, April I. The Burlington
strikers acknowledge the practical ending
of the fight which has been maintained
against the city without the slightest pro-
spect of success since the very outset. Yes
terday Chief Sargent of the Brotherhood of
Firemen, Chairman Hoge of the engineers,
Monaghan of the switehmen, and Murphy
of the firemen, accompanied by Z. T. JEFF
frey, General Manager of the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad, called at the Burlington
office and suggested a conference with the
officials of the road.
In the absence of President Perkins, the
party was received by Vice Presiden J. c.
Peasley, General Manager II. b. Stone,
General Superintendent J. d. Besler, and
Attorney Writ Dexter. On behalf of the
strikers, Chief Sargent reviewed the pres
ent condition of affairs and strongly urged
upon the company the advisability of sub
mitting the entire matter to arbitration.
The men were anxious to 60 to work, he
said, but they felt that their cause was a
just one, and ought to receive the consider
alton of the officials of the road.
Mr.. Stone declined emphatically to listen
to such q proposition for a moment. The
ranks of the firemen and engineers were
substantially filled by men who were en-
tirely satisfied with the rules ard terms of
the company, and therefore no question of
arbitration could be obtained, particularly
If it was expected to result in the return of
all the old engineers and firemen and the
dismissal of the men who had come 10 the
support of the company when the strikers
took matters in their own hands.
Mr.. Sargent for the committee admitted
that the company could not properly con-
slider any proposition looking to the dis
charge Of these men. Mr. Stone then urged
the committee to have the strike declared
off, promising to consider applications from
the old men and to give as many of them
work as he could.
The committee then retired somewhat
disappointed, but also hopeful of eventually
securing the return and reinstate-
ment of . number of the old en-
ployes of the road Chief Sargent
af,erward said that so far as he was con-
cerned no further effort to arbitrate would
be made. The men were all standing firm
ly together and there was no reason why
the fight should not be continued. If the
men were defeated they could all get bet
ter positions on other roads, and that might
be the eyentful result.

Gas from Lima Oil.

CLEVELAND, April wv. H. Deniston,
of Pittsburg, was here 10 witness an expert
ment at the Lake Erie Bolt Works with
gas made from cheap Lima oil. DenistoD
is connected with the East End Gas Works
of Pittsburg, and is interested in securing a
good quality of gas from this oil. W. T..
Stewart, of Pittsburg, is the patentee of
heated steam and air mixed with gas. F..
A Arter, of this city, who is connected with
the Standard Oil Company, is also in the
enterprise. All of the parties agree that the
new gas is . cheap fuel and can be easily
applied for illuminating purposes, but Just
at present they are at work on heating fur
naces.
1t is claimed that at yesterdays expert
ment, without any burners in the furnace,
heavy railway iron was successfully heated
to a state TT for the rolls within five min
utes.

NEW HAMPToN'S HORROR.
Six Bodies Recovered and More Thought
to be in the River.

NEW HAMPTON, April six bodies have
been SO far recovered from the railroad
wreck on the Wahsie river They are:
Engineer James Schlegel. of Mason City;
Willard Anderson. of LaMotte, Wis. G..
M. Christensen. an immigrant from Den
mark; John Duclose, the baby; Dora HE
brehe; one unknown.
Twenty are injured but all will live.
They were taken to New Hampton in the
fated train sleeper. 1t is supposed that the
passenger train, after crossing the Wapsie,
ran into large pile of ice washed on the
track by the high water. The engine ran
off the road, turning completely arour.d,
and is out of sight in the water. The
baggage car was thrown completely over
the engine, and the smoking car is on top
of the engine. The next coach is on its
side in four feet of water. On account of
the high water, further search at present
for bodies is an impossibility, though it is
thought other dead are still in the wreck.

A Hint to Emperor Frederick.

BERLIN, April THE Cologne Gazette's
Berlin correspondent recalls the fact that
the late Emperor William, when dying, ex-
horted his successors to preserve the Ger
man regard for Russia and spare the
susceptibilities of the Gar. Thus" the
Gazette says, "he expressed his lifelong
ststesmanlike idea, which during the last
few years has been shared by all Germans
of political training. This policy must be
adhered to in future, even though attended
with some sacrifices"
The North German Gazette publishes the
following: "Great excitement prevails in
diplomatic circles in Berlin over the posi-
bility of the speedy resignation of Prince
Bismarck because of the proposed marriage
of Prince Alexander, of Battenburg and
Princess Victoria, of Prussia. Prince Alex
ander wishes to accompany Queen Victoria
to Berlin as suitor for the hand of the
Princess. The bearing Of the reports is so
serious that they can not be passed over
Until the Bulgarian question shall have
been settled by all the Powers, from a DO
litical point of view, and on that account
the marriage is an impossibility."
The National Zeitung says that the re-
neved efforts to obtain the consent of the
Emperor to the marriage of his daughter,
Princess Victoria, TO Prince Alexander, of
Battenburg, have not been successful. For
this reason there are no longer any ground,
for secret conflict between Prince Bis
marck and the Emperor. and, therefore,
there is no question whatever of Prince
Bismarck resigning.
