Confusion-More About the Recent
Massacre OF Christians.

LONDON, Dec. THE Chronicle Shang-

feat. He says: "Forty-fve hundred i'm
perial troops met force Of three thousand
rebels at a point fifteen miles from
Chaoyang. The latter was very daring,
and had better cavalry than the imperial
forces, who were at first compelled to
move back somewhat.
'"The conflict which ensued was long
and stubborn. Finally there was spirit
ed charge from the imperial side. This
threw the rebels into confusion and they
began retreating, keeping up running
fight, however.
mo quarter was given. Eleven hun
dred rebels were slaughtered on the field
and those who on being overtaken were
captured and Immediately executed. The
imperial troops behaved admirably.
The correspondent gives further details
of the recent massacre, which shows that
il was veritable carnival of blood. He
says: THE merciless horde attacked and
set on fire several orphanages, and an aw-
full holocaust was the result. Terrible
scenes were enacted on the roads along
which Christians fled from the assassins.
Many who became exhausted dropped by
the roadside and died. The course of
their flight is marked by corpses half
eaten by dogs.
Iii Hung Chang has just telegraphed
that martial law has been proclaimed
throughout Manchuria."

No Break In the Speakership Fight

THE TWO HOUSES IN SESSION,
The Result of Conferences Between the
Candidates and Their supporters-Pro
spects Of an Indefnate Continuation of
the Contest.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-As a result of
informal talks among the candidates and
the adherents of the various speakership
aspirants the latter have decided TO sup
port their original choice until the last
ditch is reached. There is not the slight
est prospect of break in sight.
No new developments can be seen upon
the surface as regards the influence of the
Cleveland forces being exerted in behalf
of Mr. Mills. Those known TO be close to
the ex-president are at work as heretofore
but their forces have received no notable
accessions.
Crowds gathered i'm the corridors during
the balloting and bore the disappointment
in being refused access to galleries of the
house, with reasonable good nature
Great interest was taken in the ballots
and even in the arrival of boquets for
favored members and in the appearance
of those who temporarily left the caucus
\ long and earnest conversation in the
corridor between Mr.. Crisp and Bourke
Cochrane of Tammany Hall caused much
speculation.

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Seventy-three Men Dead in a Mine
in France.

PARIS, Dec. lit has been ascertained
that seventy-fve miners perished at the
mine explosion at st. Etienne.
The explosion occurred in the Puts de
la Manufacture, belonging to the st.
Etienne Colliery Company. Immediately
after the explosion dense volumes of evil
smelling smoke issued from the mouths of
this and a connecting pit. Fortunately
the day was being observed as fete day
and comparatively few men were at work
in the mine. If the accident had happened
on an ordinary working day the loss of
life would have been appalling.
When the first attempt was made to re-
scue the imprisoned men the rescuers were
driven back by the foul fumes that poured
from the shaft and for nearly an hour
nothing could be done to aid the unfortu-
nate miners in the pit.
At the very outset the rescuers encount-
cred a serious obstacle, as the main gallery
was found TO have collapsed, thus pre-
venting access to the imprisoned men.
After working several hours in relays the
party OF rescuers had cleared away por-
tion of the debris, and few minutes later
they came across the bodies of four min
ers. The men, although unconscious, were
still alive, and were quickly sent to the
surface, where they soon revived
A short time afterward, another rescu-
ing party which had entered the connect
ing pit sent TO the surface four more of the
victims, all of whom were quicklyrestored
TO consciousness. The second party of
rescue, however, found that il was utterly
impossible to reach the other imprisoned
men and there is hardly doubt that all
of the latter have succumbed To the pois-
onous gases that filled the chambers of
the mine

AMERICAN GRAIN.
The Import Duty Reduced in Ger
many, Austria and ItaIy,

BERLIN, Dec. THE German-Austrian
commercial treaty has been signed in
Vienna. The remaining treaties will be
signed during the coming week. They
were discussed by the Bundesrath Satur-
day. There is no doubt that the Reichstag
will ratify the treaty. America will derive
the greatest advantage from them.
The BOersen Courier says that the duties
on grain will be reduced from so to 35
shillings per ton. Americas favored
nation" position depends upon the Clay
treaty of 1929. Russia, excluded by the
favored nation" clause, will be adversely
affected by the new treaties, and will be
virtually compelled TO make overtures to
Germany to prevent the total exclusion of
Russian grain from the German market.
ROME, Dec. THE new commercial
treaties between Italy and Germany and
Austria have been signed here.

Princess Victoria Mary, only daughter of
the Duke of Teck, who married Queen

she possesses good sense, wisdom and
strength of character and is extremely

She is of economical habits and does
everything possible to make those around
her harpy. She is very fond of Albert
Victor, and the Prince of Wales admires
her very much.
The Duke of Clarence proposed to her at
the residence of Nine. De Fable. The
Princess is an excellent musician, sketches
some and is fond of riding and driving.
Queen Victoria has given her approved
