TWO HOLY COATS.
Patriotic French Get Ahead of the
Treves People.


Treyes People.
LONDON, Aug. 17.-The rivalry be-
tween France and Germany is reaching
serious lengths. This was illustrated
yesterday in the exhibition of the holy
coat at Argenteuil. No sooner did 1t be-
come knoWn,a feeW weeks ago, that the
ecclesiastical authorities at Treves. in
Rhenish Prussia, were about to exhibit
a garment claimed to haue been worn
by the Savior than the French were
alive to deprive the Germans, as far as
possible, of the honor and profit. 1t ap-
pears that Argenteuil, which is within
access by rail from Paris, also possesses
coat said to have belonged to Christ.
Arrangements were made for the eX-
hibltlon of the relic. Sunday was
chosen as the opening day, several days
ahead OF the first public view at Treves.
Great throngs of people went from
Paris and other localities to see the holy
yestment. The exhibition was in every
way successful. and it is said to have
caused prOpOrtionate chagrin at TreVes,
which will probably lose multitude of
expected French Catholic visitors. The
preparations for the public exhibitions
in 'treves are going on hurriedly, and
VIII be completed within the appointed
time.
TREvEs, Aug. 17.-The city is astir
in connection with the coming exhibit
ton of what is described as the holy
coat, garment said to have been worn
by the Savior. Preparations are be-
ing made on every hand for the large
influx of strangers which is expected
when the relic is exposed. The vicar
general announces that each person
seeking relief by touching the garment,
must beforehand petition the bishop
for special permission to do so, as well
as present a medical certificate deScrib-
ing the physical trouble.

FOURTEEN SWISS KILLED.
Another Appalling Collision of
Trains Near Berne,

Another Appalling Collision of
Trains Near Berne,
BERNE, Aug. 1.-THE people of this
republic had hardly recovered from the
railroad scare caused by the terrible
accident at Moenchenstein in June last,
by which over $50 persons Oh an eXcur-
sion train lost their lives and about 800
were injured. when they were again
yesterday startled by another wholesale
loss of life. by reason of railroad acci-
dent. This last disaster occurred OH the
Jura-Simplon railroad lines near Zolli-
kofen. not far from this city. The de-
tails of the accident as received here
up to the present, are as follows:
A special train carrying large num-
ber of eXcurSOnists from the country
districts to this city was on It's way here,
the passengers intending to take part in
the centenary feteS which are now in
progress here and elsewhere through
out Switzerland. The train was stopped
at Zollikofen. in order to enable it to be
Shunted into a siding, so as to let the
Paris express pass. By some gross negli-
gence, apparently, upon the part of the
railroad officials, the Paris train, loaded
with foreign travellers, was not warned
to look out for the excursion train while
passing Zollikofen, and the result was
that the express dashed into the special
train. Luckily. the engineer of the eX-
press had caught sight of the excursion
train in time to put down the brakes,
and so the damage done and the
loss of life was not so great
as it might have been. As it was
the engine of the express cut into and
almost entirely demolished the guaTT's
van at the rear of the excursion tr;Sn,
which was empty, and then crashed
into the rearmost of the passenger cars,
completely wrecking it and causing
considerable loss of life. Fourteen
corpSeS-eleven women and three chill
dren-have already been recovered from
the ruins, and tWenty-fOur people have
been seriously injured by the collision.
All are Swiss peasants. No loss of life
the passengers on the Paris express,
and therefore it is believed here that
they have all escaped. A special train
carrying wrecking appliances, doctors
and nurses from the hospitals, togeth-
er with a detachment of engineers, has
been dispatched to the scene of the ac-
cident, and crowds of people have start
ed in the same direction. The majority
of the passengers on board the eXcur-
sion train belong to towns in the vicin-
ity of this city. 1t IS thought that no
foreign visitors were among the eXcur-
sionists, and no deaths of American
travellers have been reported. A curve
in the line prevented the engineer of
the express from seeing the danger
ahead, but the passengers of the eXcur-
sion train heard the express approach
ing and many jumped out. In conse-
ouence of the disaster the remaining
septennary fetes in this city have been
abandoned. All the occupants of the
Paris express escaped with only slight
bruises.

SOCIALISTS IN CONTROL.
The International Labor Congress
Is CAPTURED,

BRUSSELS, Aug. 17.-The opening of
the international labor congress here
yesterday was strongly socialistic. So
cialists organized the congress, and have
the direction of its affairs, and it is con-
sidered an assured fact that the action
of the body Will be strongly socialistic.
A good many men from English trades
unions have not yet shown how they
stand on the question of socialism. The
delegates to the congress present a re-
spectacle. but on the whole peculiar
appearance. Those from Western
Europe were clad quite generally in the
attire peculiar to their calling. The
French and German socialists seem to
manage the congress, and Its success,
not as yet determined, cannot fail to
have decisive effect on the relations
between socialism and labor.
The congress assembled at 10 o'clock
this morning. There are seventy-eight
reporters in attendance. Speeches are
limited to ten minutes in duration, and
a second speech on any one subject is
limited to five minutes. Daily sittingS
will be held, lasting from 10 a. m. to
1890 D. m.e and from to 3 p. m.,
0mmitteet'consisting of one delegate
from each nation sitting in the interval
to arrange the course of business.
Owing to protracted discussions to-day
no resolutions were adopted, and little
was done beyond the reading of fra
ternal kilograms from all parts of the
world

All sorts of conflicting figures were
yelled oft, until the constant reitera-
tion of S1.l5 drowned out the rest, and
this was marked down as the opening
price for December wheat, as against
S1145S Saturday at the close. 1t did not
stay so long. The brokers hammered
and hammered at it. and down it went
-S1.1615, S1.15, s1.14$I, $1.14-and all in
ten minutes. Around this figure the
tide ebbed and flowed during the first
half-hOur. September opened at S1.1419
and sold down q point, which brought
it almost down to Saturdays closing
S1.13I. May closed on Saturday at
S1.1S5S, and after opening to-day at S1.20
sold down to SI.1S19. September corn
opened at 1879 cents and January wheat
at S1.18.
Flour brokers, shippers, corn and
malt men all deserted their quarters
and congregated in the northeast corner
of the big board room. There was not
an inch of standing room on the steps of
the pit, which was packed all the way
down to the center with struggling
and seething mass of humanity. Every
one seemed to have orders to buy. and
sellers were at first in the minority.
Those who had wheat to sell were wait
ing to see which way the market would
turn.
Then came a reaction and large offer
ings were made, the first of which were
greedily gobbled up by the disconnected
shorts who were unable to cover their
sales last Saturday. The excitement
lasted only a few minutes. and then
there was lull, and every one waited
to see what Chicago was going to do.
That market remained about steady at
the advance quoted. BY l o'clock
prices had settled down considerably.
December wheat was down to $1.14 and
September had sold down to Sl.1215. 1t
fluctuated around this point. Reports
from Chicago showed that December
wheat had slumped to SI.05 ard Septem-
Der to Sr.02. Corn was closing weak and
lower.
The bull movement was made entirely
on the foreign demand, which was enOr-
nous. Cables from Berlin said that the
German was large buyer of wheat,
having decided to substitute wheat for
rye III its army contracts. Foreigners
were large sellers, and the demand kept
up with the pace. Later reports of the
opening prices of December wheat
showed that it sold up as high as S1.1S.
Different prices prevailed at the same
time in the pit. Wheat was sold at
Sl.1414 and at Sl.1S simultaneously. One
broker, by merely stretching out his
arms, was able to make the double
transaction at these figures, thereby
clearing a handsome profit. Such
bonanZas don't come every day, and
everybody made what they could out OF
it. The market closed strong but steady,
with slightly bear tendency in COM
parisOn with opening prices. ..

fuses a Reduction.
BERLIN, Aug. 19.-The ReichsanZei-
ger tonight announces that at a cabinet
council held to-day at the imperial
home office it was decided that no ne
cessity exists for reduction of the du-
ties on corn, but that, on the contrary, it
was more necessary than ever to adhere
to the policy announced by Chancellor
Won Caprivi in the lower house of the
Prussian diet on June last. The chan
cellOr then announced that the govern
ment had decided to maintain the corn
duties, saying that the existing tariff
must remain until, at least, new treaty
negotiations with other nations were
arranged. This decision created much
dissatisfaction at the time and led to a
most acrimonious debate in the lower
house on June II.
Mixed rye and wheat flour was offered
for the first time on the produce ex-
change to-day in large quantities. The
mixture is much cheaper than
pure rye flour. The recent advance

dealers. Feverish activity prevails in
the shipping of rye at all Russian ports.
Eight thousand tons have left st.
Petersburg in eight days. 1t is re-
ported that further large shipments
will be made on orders from the Ger
man government.
The Reichsanzeiger says that the
government is confident that there is
sufficient wheat to take the place Of
rye, and that a reduction of the
duties would only enrich foreign
dealers without affecting the price
of bread. The WHOLE government press
reflects these views and declares that
high prices are due to bOurse specula-
ton and not to scarcity, and that the
Russian ukase would have been issued
sooner than it was had Germany re-
dnced the grain duties. 1t is signifi-
cant, however. that Count Kanitz, a
leading protectionists, pleads for tenn
porary suspension of the duties.
