A SHOT AT OUR NAVY,
The London Observer Says Our
War Ships Are No Good.

w f1EC W. OOOtts
LONDON, Feb. 3.-The Observer, in a
vigorous article Oh Samoan affairs, de-
clareS that the suggestions of the Amer
lean senate to establish naval station
in Samoa as challenge to Germany to
annex the Islands are mere empty va
porings. 1.-THE Americans know" the
observer says, THAT their financial in
tereStS in Samoa are insignificant as
compared with those of Germany. They
have no war ships fit to cope with the
German feet. which could, and proba-
bly, would, blow the American snaval
station about the ears of the American
garrison
The Standards Berlin correspondent
says: lin spite of unmistakable fric-
ton with the Americans, nobody here
fears that there is any danger of the
Samoan affair leading to war between
the two nations. Germany will, in
fact, make friendly proposals, which,
doubtless, the government at Wash
ington will finally accept. The
German officials in Samoa are repre-
Sented as having exceeded and misun-
derStood their instructions. But the
last thing that the Semi-official organs
can be expected to confess is the palpa-
ble fact that in the presence of strong
feeling aroused in America Germany
has found it polite to beat re-
treat.'' The Berlin National lei
tung thinks that the knowledge of
Prince Bismarck's disavowal of the acts
of German officials in Samoa would
come with better grace from the Ger
man than the American government.
LAS for the rest" it says, defiant
speeches in America will just as little
provoke Germany to take any unwar-
rantable step as will prevent her main-

LONDON, Feb. SIT is stated that Sir
Julian Paunceforte, permanent under
secretary of state for the foreign Office,
has been appointed British minister to
the United States. Although the re-
port is not officially confirmed,
it is credited at the foreign
office. The appointment is Great
ing intense irritation in British
diplomatic circles as departure from
the rule of succession in appointments
according to rank in the service. Sir
Julian Paunceforte is a lawyer, not a
diplomat, and was never attached to
any embassy. He was appointed to his
present post on account of his extern
sive knowledge of the legal bearings
of treaties. AS his present salary
is only e2000 yearly. The new APP
pointment is desirable one, the salary
of the minister at Washington being
$4,000. Sir Julian Pauneeforte mar
ried Miss Selma Cubitt, daughter of the
late Maj. Cubitt, and has a family.
Among officials he has reputation for
shrewdness. He has quiet, amiable
manners.

Certain Aldermen Who DO Not
Live Up to Their Pledges.
The following record of pledges given
to the WoIkingmen's Municipal Reform
association before election has been Or
dered published by the Trade and
Labor assembly, in order that the work.
ingmen may see the spirit in which
these pledges are kept by some Mime
apolis aldermen: Among the questions
asked in the circular sent to each nom-
inee was: ''Are you i'm favor of the
maintenance and extension of the eight
hour day." Only Chris Ellingsen, of the
Sixth ward, and John Gilman, of the
Third stood by their pledges and voted
against the repeal of the eight-hOur Or
dinanee. John A. Swanson, of the
Sixth ward, answered yes to the ques-
tons, voted to repeal tue eight-hour or
dinance, and at the last meeting of the
council moved that ten hours consti-
tute days work on all city work.
Samuel Hunter, of the Sixth. Endorsed
the circular in toto and voted against
eight hours.
S. B. Loye, of the Fourth ward, was
in favor of the eight-hour day Oh sewers
and similar work. In the council he
voted for the repeal of eight hours on
Just that kind of work.
E. &. Potter, of the Fourth ward.
pledged imself to aid in the adoption
of che eight-hour day as soon as prac-
ticable OH all city work. His first step
in that direction was to vote for re-
peal of the eight-hour ordinance.
Emerson Cole favored the eight-hour
day under certain circumstances, and
in some directions. His efforts thus far
in the council have been in favor of a
repeal of the eight-hour ordinance.
George A. Durham put himself on
record as in favor of eight hoursif uni
versally adopted. His first step in that
direction was to vote its repeal on city
work. %
So the Trade and Labor have on the
list: Samuel Hunter, s. B. Loye, E. G.
Potter, Emerson Cole and George A.
Durham. Their pledges are On file with
the secretary of that body, and can be
produced. Explanations of the sudden
loss of memory on the part of those al
dermen would make interesting reading
for the workingmen. One suggested
that these members of the council try
course of treatment for the strengthen
ing of the memory. The Loisettian
system might be of benefit.

AT RUDOLPH'S BIER.
The King and Queen of Belgium

Pray Over the Princes Body.
VIENNA. Feb. 3.-The king and queen
of Belgium prayed for long time this
morning beside the bier of the dead
crown prince. Afterwards their males
ties received visit from the emperor
and empress and several members of
the imperial family. The body of the
crown prince was removed at $50 to-
night to the parish church, where a
priest blessed the remains. A crowd
gathered, reverently listening to the
chanting of the choir, which accom-
panied the removal of the body.
A family council will be held to decide
whether Princess Stephanie shall return
to Belgium. She declares that she loves
the emperor. her child and Vienna too
much to leave them. The Fremdenblatt
says: "Providence has afforded this
monarchy great consolation in giving
the emperor strength to bear his Attic
ton without injury to his precious
health" The Berlin Nossische Zeitung
says that Emperor William has tele-
ton to waive all etiquette and attend
Prince RudoIph,s funeral. In reply
Emperor Francis Joseph has tele-
graphed his most sincere thanks for this
evidence of the German emperor's
kindly feeling, but has repeated the
hope that Emperor William will forego
carrying out his intention.
The sensational news leaked out
to-day that beautiful young baroness
committed suicide by taking poison, at
MeyerliHg, at the same time that the
crown prince took his life. The two
acts were committed almost simultane-
Ously. 1t is asserted that the Prince of
Wales will come here privately to at
tend the funeral of the crown prince.

SPLIT HIS HEAD OPEN.
Awful Result of an Attempt to
PLAY a Joke,

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 3.-George
Heidel, young farmerE residing about
nine miles below this city, lost his life
Friday night in a singular manner
Adjoining his farm was that of William
TompkinS, anegro, who for several days
past has been engaged i'll clearing up
piece Of new ground, cutting away the
timber and preparing for spring. Know
ing him to be very superstitiOuS, Heidel
resolved on practical joke, and Friday
night about o'clock stationed himself
at point i'll the road where he knew
the negro would pass. covering himself
with white, ghostly garment and Sc
creting himself for his victim. In a
short time Tompkins came along
with an ak on his shoulder, and
Heidel rushed from his covert, making
strange motions from beneath the
sheet. The negro in his fright struck
out with the axe, splitting the head of
the unfortunate joker squarely open to
the shoulders, and, of course, killing
him instantly. Tomkins then rushed
away, never realizing that he had killed
a human being. No effort has been
made to arrest him, as the act was done
Ill a moment of great fright.

place where the train was derailed.

The History and Works of the
Ladies Protective Association.

The History and Works of the
Ladies Protective Association.
The Ladies' Protective Association of
Minneapolis is an organization of sew
eral years. standing. 1t is composed of
women from all grades of society who
take an interest in the education and
advancement of their sex. A special
feature of their work is to see that
Worklngwomen are protected from ILL
treatment and paid fair wages. At
recent meeting attention was called to
several matters in which women are es-
.pecially interested.
! The appointment Of a matron for the
central police station will be urged
upon the council. A lady who had
carefully Investigated the subject and
taken testimony says that women cOu-
fined at the police station have been
treated in a gross and brutal manner.
1t matters not that the women were
guilty of the offense charged, they were
ientitled to the protection of the law.
iDeeency and common humanity require
that reliable Christian woman should
he appointed at the central station. A
petition to that effect will probably be
presented to the council at all early
date.
The association will also take steps to.
prevent young girls from being taken to
Wisconsin dives under promise of good
situations. A committee will be APP
pointed whose special work shall be to
look after girls who come to the city
looking for work, and see that they find
respectable boarding places. Intelli-
gence Offices will also receive attention.
The association has benefit week at
the Peoples theater, commencing Mon
day, Feb. Il, the proceeds to be devoted
to the cooperative fund.

A TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION
In a Burning Warehouse at ST.
Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. S.-About Q
O'Clock this morning fire was discovered
in the upper part OF one of the great
storage warehouses of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing association situated at
Ninth and Pestalozzi streets, and
few moments later tremendous eXplO-
sion took place, and the north wall,
ninety feet long and 100 feet high, was
thrown down with great crash on the
iron and glass roof of the depot build
ing adjoining, crushing the building
and covering its contents with debris.
Immediately afterward the inside
framework of the warehouse and nearly
100000 bushels Of barley and malt,
which it contained, were enveloped in
flames, and for two or three hours the
entire establishment was in great jeop-
ardy. The fire was brought under con-
troll, however, about noon, but the serv-
ice of several engines has been neces-
Sary since that time, and tonight
part of the fire department has been
hard at work to keep it under control.
The remaining walls of the warehouse
are in danger of falling, but every
effort is beng made to pre-
vent further damage. The loss
so far is estimated at 500, ZOO,
which is fully covered by insurance on
the whole property. The cause of the
explosion is supposed to have been the
ignition of dust from the barley i'm the
warehouse, but whether the explosion
created the fire, or the fire caused the
explosion, has not been determined.

idle eonviets could be employed in this
one branch of industry. 1t requires
but little machinery. and the manufact-
ured products would find ready sale

~
An amendment TO the existing lien
law was also recommended, repeating
that section which permits contractors
to give bonds for the payment of help.
Under the present law, if the contractor
is indisposed or unable to pay his emf
ployes. and the boudsmen have no at
tachable property, employees have no
means of collecting wages. The lnten-
ton of the amendment is to give the
laborer q direct lien on the building.
+k
The one-mill tax was also discussed,
and the committee instructed to con-
tinue their work.
A committee from the cigarmakers'
union reported that S. K. Chandler. a.
cigar manufacturer of the North side,
had violated his agreement with the
union in several important particulars;
also refusing any sort of arbitration,
and treating committee from the union
i'll discourte0us and insulting manner.
The matter was taken uLder ConSidera-
ton and the delegates decided, through
their organizations, to let the goods
manufactured by that dealer severely
alone, so long as the present state of
affairs continues.
Three delegates were appointed to
confer with the council committee on
salaries, and recommend that city work
be let by the Gay.

FIGHTING THE BILL.
An Organized Movement Against
the Blair Bill i'm Congress-.

A considerable has been done by the
petitioners against the Blair bill in Min
neapoiis. They are working silently,
but as in all parts of the Union, sue
cessfully. 1t is to be noted that it is not
the radical in6del. the Jew, or the Adj
ventist who is most successful in gain
ing followers against this bill which
requires the adoption of resolution
for the amendment OF the National Con-
stitutiOn, and eventually makes union
of the church and the state, but it is
the reasoning, sensible Christian who
sees the harm that is bound to come
from such movement. There are
many men in Minneapolis who are sign
ing the petition. The petition has
gained in the city many signers. In the
United States over million names
have been gained.

ment, mercy and charity accepted.
all railroad travel and all business of
public character. This bill has no
clause of exception for people desiring
to keep another day, and if passed the
union of church and state will surely be
formed in this country.
Petitions opposing this Sunday bill
have been placed in all the prominent
hotels, newspaper offices, barber shops,
railroad ticket offices and restaurants.
