BERLIN, Sept. 27.-[Copyrighted 1890
by the New York Associated Press. i
The information received from the Ger
man embassy in Paris that Ribot, the
French minister of foreign affairs, has
negotiated with Whitelaw Reid, the
American minister, for a reciprocity ar
rangement between France and the
United States, has summarily settled
the project of Count Kalnoky, the Aus
trio Hungarian prime minister, for the
combined reprisals against the United
States in retaliation for the Mckinley
tariff bill. Emperor William never en-
tertained the idea of reprisals.
Chancellor Won Caprivi had confer
ence with Herr Miguel and accepted his
scheme to lessen the cost of living to the
masses, by higher imposts on the
moneyed classes, the principle involving
the early re-opening of the German mar
ket to American pork. The official i'm
preston here is that Minister Phelps
overtures for a settlement, if renewed,
backed by some easy concession on Ger
man exports to the United States, will
find ready responses from the chancel-
lor.
Advices from Vienna indicate that
the Austrian government also accepts
the principle of reciprocity, Count Kali
noky having instructed the Austrian
minister at Washington to make re p
RESERVATIONS in the matter of pearl and
other Austrian industries affected by
the Mckinley bill, with view to the
negotiation of a treaty.
Herr Miquel's financial statements
have also decisively influenced military
reforms and led to the retirement of
General Du Vernois from the war minis
try, and the preferred resignation of
Count Won Waldersee, both Of whom
urged Emperor William to adopt Scharn-
horst's plan for the reorganization of the
army, involving heavy increase in the
war budget. Despite the popularity of
the Scharnhorst scheme in military cir
Giles, the chancellor has thrown the
whole weight of his influence against
adding to the war budget.
Preparations against the Socialist
manifestations on October LIST, are equal
to the contingencies of civil war. The
Socialists ridicule the expectation of an
outbreak, knowing the pacific character
OF the arrangements.
Bismarck has stated to several mem
bers OF the Herrenhaus his intention to
attend all the debates on questions OF
national Importance. The Breslauer
Zeitung, in an interview with the ex-
chancellor, made him say he is still
vice president of the staatsrath. Semi
official communications in the press, OF
the affairs of Office in question, say the
Office was held by virtue of his official
functions, and that it ceased on the day
his resignation from the chancellory was
accepted.

DEFECTIVE FOUNDATION.
A New Bridge Near Victor Collapses
While Being Tested.

SAN BERNARDINo, Sept. IA suspen-
sion bridge with 300 foot span has re-
Gently been erected by the county over
the Mojave river near Victor, fifty feet
above the river. Complaint was made
that the bridge was unsafe. The county
employed A. H. Kebig, civil engineer,
to examine the bridge and he pronounc-
ed it unsafe. The California Southern
railroad track runs along the side of the
river under the bridge, and Fred
PERKS, the railroads chief engineer,
notified the board of supervisors that
the county would be held responsible
for any damage done by the bridge. The
board declined to accept the bridge I'M
less the contractors would put the
bridge to test, and show it capable OF
supporting the weight called for in the
contract.
This morning test was made in the
presence of the board and many citizens.
Eight mules, hitched to two wagons
loaded with ore, were placed on the
bridge. There were ten men on the
bridge at the time, when the structure
went down with crash, severely injur-
Sam Morris. There is great indignation
and excitement at Victor.
Mr.. G. A. Smith, the contractor, when
seen last night stated that the accident
was the result of the foundation of nat
ural rock at one corner giving way, al
lowing the structure to tilt to one side.
He denied that the structural portion of
the bridge collapsed. He stated that he
was confident the engineers would re-
port in a few days that the defect was
in the natural rock which served as a
foundation at one end, and not in the
structure itself.
Mr.. E. R. Fox, rival contractor, and
builder of the suspension bridge at
Azusa, expressed the same opinion as
the above.
A gentleman who passed the scene OF
the wreck on Santa Fe train, however,
told different story. He said the bridge
was a complete wreck, almost the entire
structure being at the bottom OF the
river. The one end which was still held
up by cables hung so low that the loco
motive could barely pass in under. -Four
mules and two men went down. Two
of the mules were killed. Austin Ellis
had a leg broken and was taken to Vic
tor. Sam Morris was badly bruised and
cut about the head and was brought to
this city. The gentleman who gave this
information was of the opinion that the
cable did not have sufficient anchorage
which caused it to pull out and let the
bridge down.
Damage suits are expected to result.

BRANFoRD, Fla, Sept. 27.-Two men,
j. T. Lasley, notary public, and H. d.

when filled with bad whiskey.

to his room, from which place he ex-
changed shots with friends of Lasley,
during which time Sapp exposed him
self and was killed.

ALLIANCE, Ohio, Sept. 27.-An attempt
was made this morning at Maxine,
near here, to wreck the limited going

placed on the track. A freight
train came along unexpectedly and

Max Applebaum Flies to Europe With
His Wife's Money.

SAN Francisco. Sept. 27.-Max Apple
baum, well known tailor, has fled to
Europe with $4,000 of his wife's money.
He recently married Mrs. Arnstean, a
wealthy widow with three chill
dren, and she gave him $4,000
to start a tailoring establishment
with. He went east to purchase the
stock. Soon after she received a letter
from Applebaum, stating that their
marriage was failure, and he was
going to Europe. The deserted woman
says that Applebaum married her with
the intention of defrauding her.

FIGHTING FEATHERWEIGHT


Murphy.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 81 Advices
from Sydney, per the steamship Mari
posa today, give an account of the fight
between Billy Murphy, the feather
weight champion, and young Critic,
which took place before the Sydney am
ateur gymnastic club for purse OF two
hundred sovereigns. Murphy opened
the fight with a rush, but Critic dazed
him in the second round during some
hot mitigating, in which he seemed to
excel. Critic was twice knocked down
in the first three rounds by
Murphy's fierce swinging blows, but
whenever they came to close quarters
Critic administered severe punishment,
and at the end of the eighth round both
men were decidedly weak, and Murphy
was looking anxious.
In the eleventh Critic went in appar-
emily to finish Murphy, and used his
right and left with such effect that he
dazed the champion, but tired himself
out before accomplishing his object.
The twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth
rounds were marked by wild rushes on
the part of Murphy and clever lodging
and jabbing on the part of Critic.
In the fifteenth round both started to
spar cautiously. Murphy succeeded in
swinging his right on to CRITICS jaw, but
there was no force in the blow. He
tried it on several times, but was either
too far around or the blows lacked
power. Critic assumed the aggressive
and by well directed blow on the jaw
rendered Murphy groggy. Murphy for
the second time tried pivotal blow, but
without effect, and at the end of the
round retired TO his chair in limp con-
dition.
Before another round was called, Muir
ply threw off the gloves and walking to
the center of the stage said he gave the
fight to Critic. When asked his reason
he asserted that the gloves had been
fixed" An examination, however,
showed that the gloves were new, and
had not been tempered with.
Murphy afterwards challenged Critic
to fight with bare knuckles for one
hundred pounds.

THE AMENDE HONORABLE.
Made to Mr. Harrison by the Chicaa
Herald.

Made to Mf. Harrison ~ the Chicago
Herald.
CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The Herald makes the
following apology to Russell Harrison in
its editorial columns to-day: Several
weeks ago the Herald received from source
that it had reason to believe was entirely
trustworthy, letter devoted to gossipy
consideration of the ladies Of the white
house and Mrs.. Russell Harrison. After
the publication of this article it was dis
covered that it contained an intimation
that Russell Harrison had not treated hia
wife a he should have done. and there was
reason for unplsasantness between the
couple and unhappiness on her part. The
Herald il informed and believes the state
msnts Of this article are without founda-
tion and untrue. and it regrets that they
gained publicity through these oolumns.
II has never been the policy Of this journal
to involve women in political antagonisms
and the appearance Of things to the con-
dsnt rather than Of design
