ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
In Prohibition States Thew
Lose Their Originality.
IOWA LIQUOR MEN BEATEN
No Conflict between the Act of
Congress and Law of
the State.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. 3i.-The
opinion of Judge Caldwell, of tho
United States circuit court, in tho
original package case OF III. NJ. Van
Vliet, of Iowa, was filed to-day. It ia
very lengthy, and discusses all the
questions raised. The court holds that
the act of congress ana the laws of the
state are valid. The following is the
salient points of the opinion;
"By the terms OF the act an original
package. when 1t arrives within the
state where transit terminates. is at once
red ucod to the rank OF domestic liuuor.
Injuries no privileges enjoyed by domes-
tic liquors, and is subject to the opera
ton and effect of the laws of
such state in the same manner
as domestic liquor. Now there never
was any question that the laws
of Iowa prohibited the sale of liquors
produced in the state, and that the law
for this purpose was constitutional.
These laws were in iull force at the date
of the passing of the act of congress, and
that act having in legal effect abolished
original packages on their arrival within
the state, by placing them on the same
footing with liquor produced within the
state, they are us much amenable to the
state law as II they had never existed in
the form OF original packages"

JUST A PLEASURE TRIP.
President Perkins Wanted to See
Puget sound.

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. l.--President c.
T.. Perkins, OF the Chicago, Burlington
IL Quincy railroad, and party left Tor
Portland at 80 oclock. MIR. Perkins
says his party is out here ON II pleasure
trip to see Puget sound and the cities on
its banks. This is out of the Chicago,
Burlington Il Quincy's bailivick and he
docs not contemplate any extensions
this way, at least not at present.
President Perkins was accompanied
west as far as Butte City by President
Hill, of the Great Northern. His party
is composed of MIR. q. w. Hodridge,
general manager of the Chicago, Bur
lington n QuiGcy system; Mr.. Howard
Enott, general freight and passenger
agent at ST, Louis, and Messrs. J. NJ.
Forbes, j. l.. Gardner, II. +. Sears and
ii. Il. Scott. The party goes to Port
land and San Francisco and thence cast
by way OF Ogden and Denver.
The western trip of the president and
general manager of the Chicago, Bur
linEton x Quincy system Is believed 20
have more significance than President
Perkins conversation would indicate.
1t Is thought that the Burlington has its
eyes on Pacific coast terminus, and
will have one sooner or later. 1t will
undoubtedly be on Puget sound.

Narrow Escape OF Family From
Death by Fire.

WALLA WALLA, Nov. Last night
about IL clock the family of William
J.. Lloyd, living near Waitsburg, were
awakened by u cracking noise and found
the residence attire. Before being dis
covered the fire got such headway that
it was useless to attempt its extinction.
There was no time to spare in getting
the inmates OF the house aroused and
out so rapidly were the flames spread
ing. All escaped without serious burn
ing, though Mr.. Lloyd himself was con-
sidefably sGorchei in getting the chill
dren out. His hands were Dllstered. hair
aud beard singed and clothing burned in
several places. None OF the family had
time to dress. The entire contents of
the house were destroyed, including the
entire wearing apparel of the family.
The loss is about $1,000; insurance ST.
so, The cause of the conhagration is n
mystery.

THE STEAMER TO LAME.
Mate Perrin Tells His Story of the
Collision.

NEw YoRK, Nov. l.-First Mate
Perrin, of the schooner Hargraves,
arrived at Philadelphia this evening
and told his story. lie says the blame
of the collision rests entirely with the
steamer people, as the schooner's lights
were burning and she had the right of
way. When the steamer was close
aboard, instead Of putting her helm to
port, she put 1t: hard starboard, and be-
fore the schooner could be cleared the
crash came.
Mate Perrin's story differs from that
OF Mate Walker regarding the actions
Of ths captain. He says seven Of the
Hargraves crew, including the captain
and himself, and four of the Spaniards,
got into the schooncr's long boat. Three
OF the crew and three OF the Spaniards
were in the small boat. They rowed un.
I'll early the next morning, when they
we're picked up by the schooner Davis,
and afterward transferred to the tug
Perrin adds that when Captain Allen
saw the Spaniards paying no attention
to the schooner's fare signals he blew q
steam whistle, when the Spaniard
seemed for the first time to see them,
and then came the fatal error in her
steering.

WORK OF A LUNATIC.
Two Children Enticed to q Bridge
ana M urdsred.

BUFFALO Nov. Lone of the most ter
rible murders ever known in the history
OF Erie county was committed at Akron,
twenty-Iour miles east of this city, last
night. A young woman named Sarah
McMullen, aged 20, residing with Mrs.
Patrick Brown, enticed Della Brown,
aged 6, and Nellie May Connor, aged 10,
to the Akron cement works. On the
narrow gauge railroad bridge, at II height
OF fifty-ive feet oyer Murder creek, she
all of sudden pushed Della Brown over
the side of the bridge. She then grabbed
Nellie Connors and hurled her into the
precipice below. Nellie was instantly
killed, and little Della Brown had her
arms and legs fractured, and although
she was terribly bruised, it is thought
she will recover.
Last night citizens searched for the
missing girls and found them at 9 o. clock
this morning. For several hours Della
lay on the stones at the side of the
creek, unable to move. 1t is believed
that Sarah MoMullen Is crazy, and she
subsequently threw herself into the
stream from which she was rescued by a
man passing ut the time. She is in
custody, but re fuses to talk.

PHILADELPHIA TRIAL.
Severe Tests of the New
Steel Cruiser.
STILL ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
Her Speed Not Tried-The Gun
Carriages observation-disclosures
to the Cruiser.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 1.-The new stee
cruiser Philadelphia, bearing tho blue
pennant of Rear Admiral Kimberley,
president of the naval board OF inspec-
tion, returned this morning from her
forty -eight-hour trial at sea- The tests
were, in the main, satisfactory, although
the board finds room for improvement
in some minor details. owing to the
foul condition of the cruisers bottom,
no trial of speed was made, but 1t Is be-
lievcd that when her bearings are worked
smooth and the resistance OF still
machinery overcome her speed will be
greater than that shown In the prelim'
mary trial.
The cruiser met with couple of mis-
haps before starting out. Tho German
steamer Bremerhsven, which anchored
In surly defiance of warnings from the
naval officers that her berth was too
close to allow her to swing clear,
was swept by the current against the
Philadelphia port bow. Tenders were
hastily baced over the side to denden
the blow, which could not be avoided.
The cruiser was backed out of danger
and an inspection of damages showed
that the bolts OF the low pressure cross
head of the starboard air pump engine
were broken and several hours work
was necessary to repair them. The
forward torpedo port sustained slight
damage. The broken machinery hay-
ing been repaired Thursday morning
another mishap occurred. The schooner
Grace Grower struck the Philadelphia
on the starboard side and ran ged along
side The Ppiladelpha WAS uninjurcd,
and having ~ascertained the schooner
was in no need of assistance, proceeded
on her course.
The gun divisions were called to
quarters and two rounds at high ele-
walton and extreme train forward and
ait were hired from each gun OF the main
battery. The blast shattered the glass
in the skylights and damaged two cut
t>rJ. The deck gun platforms stood the
severe strain well, but defects were de
veloped in the carriages of three siN'inch
rifles which will probably disable them
Friday.
Speed and turning trials were made
with 1913 pounds of steam and making
ninety.six revolutions to the minute.
The cruiser described II circle with the
starbourd helm in six minutes and three
seconds. Under the same conditions,
with port helm, she kceled three de-
grees and with the port eight. The
reason for this remarkable performance
has yet to be explained.
The severest test to which the cruiser
was subjected was raising the engines
while running at full speed. Tie pc
culiar type of her engines enabled the
vessel 20 perform the test safely and
successfully. The time front going at
full speed ahead until her headway was
checked was one minute and fifty sec
onds. The cruisers tactical diameter,
which is the diameter ot the circle in
which she can turn, is 2,4O0 feet. With
one propeller 0ucking the diameter is
much less.

THE GERMAN TARIFF.
Opposed to Reprisals for the
Mckinley Bill.

An Editor to Be Prosecuted for
Publishing It-Bismarok Not
Invited by William.

ItopNTlEnteu ASsOCiAtcu ircss, lSID.l
BERLIN, Nov. 1.-The report of the
commission of the tariff question has
not been published. but is known to dis.
favor both the extension of the revision
OF the Austro-German customs matters
and combined action In the way OF re-
prisals Tor the American and French
tariffs. The new French tariff is n
heavier blow AT the Mckinley law than
against the export trade OF Austria. For
while 1t does not effect Germany, the
expectation from Austria 10 France is
almost entirely checked by the now
tariff. Austrian newspapers are crying
out against it. Protests, chiefly from
the agricultural interests, are pouring
into the chaEcellerie against any zoI-
verein with Austria, and notifications
at present are likely to be very slight.
The government does not come near
Austrla's wishes for joint reprisals for
quiry having shown that such action is
All impossiblity.
Emperor William has ordered the pros
ecution of Herr Palzwaldt, the editor
of the Potsdamer ZeitunG, for publish
ing remarks made 10y the emperor in
the proposition of toast TO the duke of
Connraught at the dinner of the Seithen
Hussars, of which the duke is an honor
AIRY colonel. The emperor called the
duke an able German officer, worthy to
lead the hussars in the presence of an
enemy. French papers took this up
and asked If the future commander in
chief of the English ought thus to iden-
tfy himself with the German army.
The French ambassador to England, it
is reported. to-day conveyed TO Sails
bury an iutmation that the affair was
offensive TO the French government.
Now the kaiser denies the accuracy of
the reportof his toast, and prosecutes
the editor.
The communication in the official
press, signed by the chief of the en-
perors cabinet denying cutrly that the
kaiser took any steps whatever to in
duce Bismarck to come to Won Moltke's
fetes, suggests no lossening of the i'm
perial animus. Bismarck received the
invitation from ODE rhaus to attend as a
member OF that lodge, but told his
friends, while he would respond to an
invitation from the kaiser, he would not
mingle with the imperial circle unless
he was made welcome. An article in
the Hamburger Nuohrichten, clearly
from Bismarck, refers to the eXultant
bowling of his enemies, and declares
the calumnies will be regarded with
contempt by all rght-mnded people.
Austrian official papers ignore the
visit of the Austrian empress to Rome.
She remained there two days under the
name OF Mrs. Morris and had a long
audience with the pope and spent the
rest of the time sightseeing.

dence of DR.. Koch, INSIDERS the latter

FRENCH TARIFF.
New Feature Giving Powers OF Re
taiiation to tho President.

PARIS, Nov. 1.-The new French tariff
contains a striking feature not hereto
fore noticed; that is the clause which
gives the president and cabinet full
power to retaliate to rs great an extent
as they choose upon articles exported to
France by any country which discrimi-
mates against French products or in any
way erects barriers against French trade.
This is obviously modelled to meet the
American meat inspection bill and en-
tered as the French ans wer to that meas
ure. The general tone of the French
press continue hostile to the adoption OF
retaliatory measures against the United
States.
