Attempt to XIII the czar.

BERLIN, May 14.-Emperor William today
received the delegates Of the striking miners
and assured them the government would use

ing made at Berlin to settle the trouble.
At Bochum today, the strikers who drove
off the miners who wished to return to work
at the Prince Regent colliery yesterday,wer
overawed by the troops. The employers
have sent deputation to Berlin to interview
the Emperor Wednesday. Large quantities
of English and Belgian coal are arriving at

ing, and said it was impossible to tolerate
such conduct. He hoped the disputants
would settle the differences without the gov
ernment meddling.

trate between the mine owners ana strikers.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
MAINE CENTRAL.

1t is 29i miles to Montreal from this city
by way Of the Maine Central railroad aud
connecting roads. 1t Is six miles farther by
way Of the Grand Trunk. When the track
made from Fayban's to Scott's Mills the dis
tance by way Of the Maine Central will be
lessened several more miles.
The Maine Central Is now using their road
that extends through the old powder house
lot. The run from the Union station to
Thompson's Point by means Of the new
road Is made In eight minutes less time than
when the trains were obliged to go by way
Of the old transfer station. The run to and
from Cumberland Mills Is now made In one
half the time it formerly.required.
BOSTON AND MAINE IMPROVEMENTS.
The Boston & Maine railroad will shortly
begin an extensive extension of its plant at
Charlestown. The lot Of land situated on
Rutherford avenue owned by 1t and contain
ing nearly so acres will be converted into a
grand freight yard and series of freight
houses and storage sheds will be built. The
general plan for the proposed yard provides
for series of streets with freight houses
and storage sheds on either side running
from Rutherford avenue.

CUBA AND CANADA.
The Reported Views of Secretary
Blaine Regarding Them.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Secretary Blaine,
in a recent conversation, made some interest
ing statements as to his feelings regarding
the acquisition Of Canada and Cuba to the
United States.
He said that he thought any effort through
Congressional action or otherwise TO acquire
Canada would be mistake, for the moment
it was apparent we wanted her she would
begin to draw back. II left to herself the
time would come when Canada would drop
like ripe apple into our hands.
Cuba, Mr.. Blaine thinks would be very
desirable acquisition. Commanding, as 1t
does, the entrance of the Gulf of Mexico and
the waterway from the North to the South,
Mr. Blaine believes it would be important In
a military as well as commercial sense. He
does not think it necessary that the island,
If acquired, should be admitted as a State in
the Union.
Whether to urge legislation looking to the
acquisition of the island at the next session
of Congress the President has not yet de-
cided. 1t could hardly be acquired without
legislation, and it is not likely that Mr..
Blaine would open diplomatic negotions
without the sanction of Congress.

MoRMoNIsM ABROAD.
Latter Day Saints PROSECUTING In the
Sandwich Islands.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.-The American
bark Forest Queen has just arrived from the
Sandwich Islands. having on board j. f.
Gates and party, consisting of Mrs. Brigham
Young, the fifth wife of the celebrated Nor
mon, and her daughter, Mrs Susan Y. Gates,
and Mrs. G. ID. Young, the spouse of anoth-
er of Brigham's sons. j. F. Gates is an ell
der of the Mormon Church and has been for
some years engaged in missionary work In
King Kalikau's dominions. He is very
agreeable gentleman and freely gave all the
information desired of him.
"You ask me how our faith has progressed
among the islanders" said he. 1T is not
boasting to say that we have succeeded re-
markably well. 1t Is now nearly 25 years
since the first Mormon missionary landed
about 1000 native proselytes, or about one
tenth of the total native population. Some
years ago the home church purchased plan
tation of 70C0 acres in the Island Of Oahu, at
a place called Sail, about 80 miles from Hon.
olulu. At this plantation we have assembled
some 800 of our converts, whom we furnish
with labor In the sugar fields or in the crush
ing mill.
They are given homes free of charge and a
compensation for their work, and many of
way to come to the home church in Utah,
though you are not to understand by this
that we pay their passage or use any in
fuence to induce them to change their abode.
On Tuesdays train l will take East with me
five couples and nine children. Contrary to
the general opinion, these people do very
well in the colder climate of Utah, where
they seem to grow harder and stronger, and
some of them have so far overcome the
natural laziness of the disposition as to be-
come good workmen. For instance, know
a very good carpenter who emgrated from
tho island, and have in my party harness.
maker who, think, will do very well.
"The native population in the Hawaiian
kingdom is gradually dying off, partly be-
cause it is unable sto stand the contact with
more civilized people, and also on account of
a leprous taint in their blood. Cook said
that in his time there were fully 900 ma
tives on the island, and now they are re-
duced to a mere handful-about 0,000 What
is even of greater import is that the mortali-
ty among them, instead of decreasing, is
steadily on the increase, and it is the consid-
Grafton of these facts that gives me the con-
fidence to say that our church is doing won
derfully well. For, in spite of the increas-
ing mortality, we are gaining in numbers"
Mrs. Brigham Young, while in the Islands as
a lady missionary, does not take part in pros
elyting the natives. She is more directly oc-
cupied in looking after the welfare of the
converts at the home plantation.

HIS ROYAL RICHNESS
Dodged the Police In Their Descent
on the Arlstocratic Gamblers.

LONDON. May 1.-the police raid on the
Adelphi and Field clubs Sunday morning is
still the absorbing topic of conversation and
discussion in club and other circles, and
many narrow escapes from arrest on the
part of persons much higher in rank than
any of those bagged are recounted. Among
those who, is asserted, barely missed be-
ing caught in the police trap is the Prince of
Wales, who it is said, was f0rewarned OF the
coming of the officers and left the Field Club
only few minutes before their arrival
Another instance of favoritism is given in
the case of Magistrate Montague Williams,
who was among the prisoners taken to the
police station. He was Immediately released,
and every possible endeavor was made to
hush the fact of his capture.
The Earl of Dudley. Lords Lurgan and
Paulet, Baron Ferraro and number of 9TH
or gentlemen were arraigned today at the
Vine street court to answer the charge Of
gambling. They were remanded for week.
The conviction of the prisoners is regarded
as very doubtful, if they are tried before
jury, as they have right to demand.
Much comment has been excited by the
enormity of the stakes played for at the
Field Club, the counters found ON the tables
by the police ranging in value from So to
H500.

PREPARING FOR WAR.
Brazil and Paraguay Together
Against Bolivia.

PANAMA, May 14.-The following lately
appeared in the formal da Commercial of Rio
de Janeiro: "There is no doubt that the
government is preparing for war. Rumor
asserts that the Brazilian government can do
nothing to prevent a conflict between Bolivia
and Paraguay, since our government has
suffere a check from the first power, which
will seize the territory in dispute. 1t is also
ev ident that treaty Of alliance exists be-
tween Brazil and Paraguay, and one which,
W bile strengthening the republic, guarantees
the interests of Brazil. There is no doubt
that we are preparing for war, since every
thing indicates that one is imminent.
"The government is the only responsible
party in this matter, and it will have to give
an answer to the country. But what this
answer will be God only knows, now that
the honor of the Brazilian flag can only be
sustained by bathing it In the blood of our
brothers of America. Let us not be told
that war is not at our doors. The intimate
relations existing between the Paraguayan
and Brazilian governments are well known,
and 1t Is known we hold interests in Para
quay, and therefore, under the pretence of
preventing an invasion Of our territory, we
send TO our frontiers an army which Is five
times larger than is necessary. And yet we
want to pretend we are not threatening Bo-
livia, and in manner which may cost us
very high figure"

of good order, took the fever and attempted

In postscript the marshal says: "The

THE GAR HIS TARGET.
A Paris Story of Attempted Murder
by an Army officer.

PARIS, May 14.-At the Gatschina palace
last Friday night an officer OF high rank in
the Russian army suddenly drew his revol-
yer and fired it at the Car. He missed the
object of his deadly assault by few inches.
and before he could fire a second shot was
seized by the guards and taken to prison.
The wholesale arrest of Russo-German
officers in the Baltic provinces and their
transportation to st. Petersburg for trial in
dicates that there have recently been several
serious attempts to kill the Car, and that
the authorities have been uncommonly ac-
tive in the discovery of plots.

PROMOTION IN IOWA.
Collector Webster Thinks That It
Falls to Prohibit.

Dies MONIES, Ia, May 14.-Collector Web
ster, Of the Dubuque district. In letter to
B. +. Wright, father Of the prohibition
amendment in this State. gives the result of
attempts to enforce prohibition in the forty
counties Of Northern Iowa, constituting his
district.
The Iowa law makes the possession by the
defendant OF a government license prima
facie evidence Of guilt. To escape this pro-
vision OF the law many applicants have taken
out their licenses under mythical names, and
a still larger number OF dealers are doing
business without government licenses, pre-
ferring to risk detection by internal revenue
officers to creating evidence against them
selves before the State courts.
The efforts to enforce the law" Collector
Webster says, "have been costly, not to the
people Of the State alone, but they have re-
suited In great expense TO the department by
requiring, us to detect and punish persons
unlawfully engaged in the liquor business
therein. Gov. Larrabee was not correct
when he said that prohibition was enforced
In 80 OF the 80 counties In Iowa. On the
contrary there is not a county in this district
nor a town of 800 inhabitants or over, for
which retail liquor dealers licenses have not
been issued, and In every county the number
OF licenses issued, when taken together with
the number of boot legger5' convicted, indi-
Gates an increase in the number of dealers
as compared with the number in existence
before the prohibitory law took effect"
Fewer saloons In Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, May IA. - The liquor
license judges have made their decisions on
license applications in 13 out Of 80 wards Of

that If the judges pursue the same policy in
other wards as in the first 13, there will be
about 1000 drinking places in the city against
about 1900 last year.
