MUTE EVIDENCE.
Two Human Lower Limbs Washed Up
by the Waves.

New YORK, December 7th.-Mute evil
denee of marine tragedy was washed up
with the waves, on the beach opposite the
Spermace:i Cove On. J.) life saving station,
yesterday. 1t consisted of two human
lower limbs, incased in heavy leather boots
of foreign manufacture, such as are worn
by seefnripg men.
The flesh on the limbs was ragged and
torn, and had apparently been eaten off by
sharks teeth. On the feet were heavy
wooden socks of home make, and thick
soles were tackled to the boots.
The remnants told of the loss of two
men. The limbs were the right and left
respectively of men of different build. The
right leg and foot were those of a boy or
very small-built man, and the other frsg-
ments of humanity had been part of
good-sized man.
Two hip-bones were also picked up on
the beach. The discovery was associated
in shipping circles to-day with the loss of
the bark Germania on the coast of Long
Branch one week ago last Wednesday
night.
Theodore Ruger, the New York agent of
the Germans, was inclined to this belief.
He recognized the description of the boots
on the limbs as like those worn by the sea-
men on the Germania.

American Machinery.
SAN Francisco, December 7th.-Among
the arrivals on the steamship China yester-
day was Commission appointed by the
Chinese Government to thoroughly inspect
the mining system of the Pacific coast, in
Guiding the latest improved mining ma
chinery and the best processes in use for
the reduction of ores.
The Commission consists of Tong Sing
Cow, Chew Sing Guam and Won Tai Lai.
Consul Bee said last evening, regarding the
Commission China is starting in to de-
velop the mineral resorces of North China,
which are said to be wonderfully rich. She
never before permitted her mines to be
opened, but is now pursuing a different
policy. As far as the developments have
gone, they have been a complete success.
Some machinery has been shipped from
this city, manufactured by the Union Iron
Works. The Viceroy has shown great
interest in the mines, and has sent this
Commission to the Pacific coast to make a
complete examination of the mining sys-
tenn of the Pacific coast. From the adj

ports are satisfactory, a vast amount of ma
chinery will be purchased in this city,"

SAN FRANcIsco, December 7th.-A Calls

DISSATISFIED CONDUCTORS.
They Say They VIII Quit Work Rather
Than File Bonds.


TACOMA (Wash), December 7th.-There
q strong probability of a strike of the
freight trainmen on the Cascade Division
of the Northern Pacific. The trouble orig
mated in an order requiring conductors TO
give bonds. The conductors practically re-
fused to comply with the request.
Superintendent Powell says the bonds
are required not only for faithful turning
over of all fares, but also holds them re-
sponsible for damage caused to the COM
pany's property in case of accidents.
Passenger conductors are not held for
like responsibility. The trouble has been
brewing for some time and to-day a COM
mittee asked Superintendent Powell to re-
scind the order and give immediate answer.
If an unfavorable answer is received the
conductors will simply quit, as they are de-
termined not to give bonds.
The freight men are also dissatisfied with
their pay, and claim they are not making
SO a month on the mountain run and
will demand an increase. a number of
brakemen and express men express will
ingness to sign bonds if they are promoted.

EMPEROR WILLIAM.

Parties.

BERLIN, December 7th.-It is stated that
in recent familiar conversation with
Deputy MIGUEL, Emperor William said
political parties are sheer frippery. only
know tuo-the one that is for me, and the
one that j, against me-"
The Commission representing the owners
of the the collieries involved in dispute
with their men, have resolved to advise a
redress of the grievances Of which the men
complain. The strike that had been i'm
pending is, therefore, probably averted.
The Government agent, who was present
at the meeting, announced il the men
should, under these conditions persist in
the strike, they would ALLEVIATE the sympa-
thiss of the Government.

NEW YORK, December 7th-The steamer
Finance from Maranham, Brszil, Novem-
Der 18th, has arrived. Captain Baker and

Dom Pedro not bloodless.
Before the Finance reached Maranham
the GlobO (newspaper) displayed bulletin
announcing the deposition Of the Emperor
and other facts connected with the change
of government. The sympsthizers with
the Emperor were riotous and armed with
all sorts of weapons and tried TO sack"
the Globo Office. The garrison OF the town,
consisting of only twenty-five soldiers, ar
rived on the scene and fired blank cart
ridges over the heads of the mob. The
rioters responded with pistol shots and
stones and two soldiers were killed. The
remaining soldiers fred at the rioters, kill
ing six and wounding twelve. The mob
then dispersed. There were many serious
encounters in various parts of Brazil, but

New YORK, December 7th.-The Ma
tionai Line Steamship Company's dock at
pier No. 80. North river. took fire this
afternoon and burned nearly to the waters
edge. At least four blaekened, dead bodies

were badly burned. some OF whom will
likely die. 1t was the most disastrous fire
on the river front in some time.
For two hours the fire resisted the efforts
of the firemen. The spread of the fire be-
fore il was discovered, and the confidence
of the deck laborers that they could extin-
p1ish it without the aid of outside appara-
ms. gave the flames tremendous Roadway.
B,fo3e the men were really aware of their
danger. the westerly end of the dock was
a burning mass and the dock laborers had
to fee fer their lives.
II was ihen that most of them were in
iured. Those who did not escape at that
lime were overpowered BY the smoke and
fell senseless and dying in their tracks.
Those killed are: James Barry, watch

SANTA Rosa, December Tth.-A sensation
has been caused here by the resignation OF
W.. n. Doran from the City Council. he
gives as his reason that things have not
been conducted according to the rule and
square lately, and does not feel that he can
longer serve on the Board without violating
his oath.
The last action CT the body 20 which he
took umbrage was the allowance OF J. A.
Barhanls bill in the sum of 81, 500 for legal
services. This is over four times what the
City Attorneys salary amounts TO in four
years.
The passage of the bill without reading
in open meeting and the manner in which
the library question is dealt with he assigns
as his main reasons for resigning.
