FOREIGN SYMPATHY.

Man by Ancient Enemies.

Man by Ancient Enemies.
LONDON, March 9.--In Madrid pain
full feeling of depression prevails among
all classes of the people on account of
the news from Berlin. Queen Chris
tina is anxiously looking for bulletins
from Germany. She has sent message
of sympathy to Emperor William. In
Paris to-day the Mi-Carame festivities
provided a scene little in har-
mony with passing events, but one
totally unconnected with political feel
ing. The Liberte says: ''It may be
said to the honor of France that her old
chivalrous spirit has on this occasion
silenced the voice of national passion.
Among all classes of society the
fate of the Emperor William and
his son is the subject of most SYM
pathetic concern. We can no longer
regard as enemies that venerable mon
arch sinking into the grave or the prince
in the prime of life whose existence is
ebbing away. We are irrestibly shocked
at their fate and with the sacred volume
reverently eXclaim: How are the
mighty fallen.'"
VIENNA, March s.-The impeding
catastrophe in Berlin overshadows
every other subject here as no event
has done since the first news
of the illness of the German crown
prince. The newspapers express the
feeling of the people in still
hoping for the emperor's recovery. The
Neue Frei Presse compares the tragic
fate of the German imperial house with
that of Louis Quatorze, and expresses
the hope that the crown princes recov-
cry may falsify the parallel.

IMPORTED ENGINEERS.
A Number Who Came to st. Paul
and Then Refused to Work.

All day long yesterday the striking
engineers and their brethren filled the
office of the Merchants hotel and
eagerly discussed every bit of informa-
ton brought them by trusty messengers.
Men were constantly arriving from Chi
cago, chock full of news. and were in
stantly grabbed and spirited away to
some quiet corner, where they quickly
disgorged. The striking engineers are
not attempting to secure positions on
other roads, as their needs and
those Of their families are
amply provided for by the brotherhood.
Even if the brotherhood gave them no
support as an organization they would
be cared for by the individual members.
1t is all explained in the language of
big-hearted engineer of prominence,
who said:
Il am making good wages and can
take care of three or four of them my

Early in the day nine engineers. not
members of the brotherhood, arrived in
st. Paul from Council Bluffs to accept
positions on the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern. They were headed by man

they came to the brotherhood and stated
that they would not accept positions on
the road.

yesterday to live on, and stated that he
would accept no position on the Chicago,

Yesterday two men named Wade and
Jones appeared in the Merchants hotel
and claimed that they were contractors.
The engineers suspected that they were
agents of the "Q' road and this was
soon ascertained to be true. They told
two or three different stories as to
where they came from and variously re-
ported Chicago, Council Bluffs and
Spencer, Mimi, as their residence.
They are here, it is said, to defeat the
strikers so far as the hiring of engineers
is concerned. Wade, in talking to an
engineer, said that he favored the idea
of taking back the strikers and letting
the ''scahs'' go, though he was actively
engaged in trying to hire engineers.

LATERAL II o'clock tonight the
queen received telegram confirming
the statement that the emperor was still
living. but unconscious, at 9:15 Berlin
time. There was intense excitement in
the lobbieS of parliament during the
session tonight on account OF the news
and conflicting rumOrS from Berlin. Tie
sitting was adjourned at the usual hour.
MARCH 8, 2 a. m.-There is four or
five hours delay in the receipt of dis
patches from Berlin, owing to the
crowded condition of the wires by the
immense number of messages sent. 1t
appears now as if the announcing of
Emperor Williams death
WAS A MISTAKE,
and was undoubtedly due to the faint
ing spell with which the emperor was
seized between and o'clock in the af-
ternoon, which had every appearance of
a final collapse. All the Berlin papers
announced the emperor's death late in
the. afternoon. The Vienna Freie
Presse asserts that in the event of the
emperor's death, the imperial decree
granting regency powers to Prince
William, ipse facto, is nuliified, and
Frederick William becomes emperor by
right of succession. The Prince of
Wales and Lord Salisbury were closeted
with the queen last night until 1870
O'Clock, but the result of the confer
ence is not known. The queen will re-
turn to Windsor in the morning.

A TORPEDO ON THE TRACK.
An Exciting Incident as "Scab"-
Driven Engine Came In


A most exciting incident occurred al
the union depot yesterday afternoon
upon the arrival of the 4: :45 train OH the
Chicago, Burlington IL Northern. The
train stopped at the extreme end of tha
platform and the passengers were
obliged to walk several hundred wards
to get to the depot. This was nuts for
the strikers, and the air was filled with
derisive yclls.
''Why didn't you stop out in the coun-
try%' yelled one. "Hhis is st. Paul, not
Minneapolis" cried another, while the
usual rats, 'scab," ETC., were thrown
in for good measure. The engineer
slammed the window of the cab shut
and tried to pay no attention to the
men, though he was visibly agitated.
Across the platform was another en-
gine, and between the two, on the mar
row platform, were cOngregated the
strikers and other engineers of the
brotherhood. Both engines started to
let Off steam at the same moment and ID
arose III great clouds. 1t was ut
terly impossible to see one another
and great confusion was created. To
add TO the general uproar, some ona
placed a railroad torpedo under the
''scab" engine and it exploded with
loud report. The engineer was deathly
pale, and in vulgar parlance, ''badly
ratified" The ladies and gentlemen on
their way to the Saltwater train were
frightened and turned back, for il
really looked and sounded devilish to
hear chorus of yells and an explosion
in the midst of
GREAT CLOUDS OF STEAM,
and the hiss as it escaped. Above all
was heard the voice of the superintend-
ent of the depot, trying to put the crowd
back and preserve order. Soon the
steam cleared away, and the engineers
observed another point that excited
their derisiOn and concern. The ''scab"
engineer had pumped the boiler so full
of water that it was coming out of the
smOke-stack, bringing with it smut,
coal-duSt, etc. The black mud thus
formed sprinkled the engine from cow
catcher to cab, and every bright part
1t was the filthiest' engine ever seen in
st. Paul i'll active service, especially at
tached to a passenger train.
"She's pretty near drowned" said an
engineer, ''and some day he'll be left
away out in the country without any
fires in the furnace. He hasn't enough
gauge cocks in the cab to try the water.
The G., b. % n. are going to put gauge
cocks on all the smoke-stacks of their
engines so that 'scab' engineers will
know how much water they have"
No violence was attempted, and the
trains moved as usual. Many paSsen-
gers OIL the trains, among whom were
ladies, expressed their sympathy for the
strikers, and thus it is wherever one
goes,

LONDON, March S.-The city was wild
with excitement to-day over the con-
flicting reports from Berlin concerning
the condition of the royal patient. All
day long a deluge of dispatches has
flooded the paper offices, the exchanges
and news bureaus, and the patriotic
Germans could find in their differing
statements reason for either Joy or Sor-
row. Toward afternoon, however, the
telegramS became ominOuS and pointed
to but one conclusion, and still later in
the day came the news of Emperor
Williams death. The London papers
announced the death on their bulletins
at 6:15 O'Clock, and then the excitement
was intenSe.nThe paper officers were be-
Seiged and thronged. and even the morn
ing papers all had enormous posters dis
played conveying the sad intelligence to
all who passed. Tonight, however,
THE MEAGERNESS OF NEWS
from Berlin beyond the announcement
of the death and the paucity of detail
causes various rumOrS, many of which
assert that there is no truth in the an
nouncement of the emperor's death.
This, however, cannot be learned at
present, and the report is generally ac-
cepted. The question on every lip is,
will Frederick Wilhelm succeed to the
throne? 1t appears that according to
German law prince who is affected
with an lncurable disease is ineligible
to the throne, and if the crown prince
has a cancer, as the German doctors
aver, the succession may pass over to
Prince William, his son. The imperial
decree made last November, deputizing
the powers of regent to the latter, would
seem to suggest such conclusion. Per-
sons who are closely allied to the Ger
man embassy here assert that Bis
marck has long determined that
Frederick William should not reign
on the German throne, and it is a well
known fact that the iron chancellor
and the crown princess do not agree.
The prince sides with his wife against
Bismarck, who entertains cordial dis
like for both. The persistency with
which the crown princess retained DR..
Mackenzie in attendance upon her
husband has increased the friction.

known as the Sugar Refners' company
He had true copy of the instrument,
save that there. was omitted from the
copy the amounts of the total capital
held by the various members of the
trust, as it was held that this private in
formation was not necessary for any

BUTTE, Mont, March s.-Last night
Annie Slayback secured room at
Browns hotel, asking the landlady to
sleep with her. The two went to bed
together. This morning when the land
lady awoke she found the girl dead in
her arms. The woman almost went
crazy with fright. The deceased was
born in st. Louis, Mo-, and had lived at
Denver for several years past, arriving
here last evening from Spokane Falls.
She told DR.. Murray she had been
forced to remain over day at Deer
Lodge while ON her way here. The
pain she was suffering was so severe
that she could not stand. She had taken
a large glassfull of whisky every half
hour during the day, and just before re-
firing emptied a half pint flask. The
general appearance indicated that 81 e

removed her dress she was clad only in
mans shirt and trousers. Her real
name was Annie Slayback, but she was
best known in Butte by her stage name
of May Preston. Personally she was
quite an attractive woman, being only
nineteen years old.
