large woman, apparently thirty-eight
years old, has light blue eyes
and rather closely cropped
hair, well sprinkled with gray. She
talks sometimes nationally and some
times with wild incoherence. She says
her name is Vera Ava, that her native
place is London, England, and that
lately she has been in Chicago, and
somebody brought her from that city to
this place, but who brought her, how, and
when she was brought, she seems un-
able or unwilling to tell.

The Trades Union COngress-The Dardna-
nelies Incident.
[Copwight 1891 6v " Y. AsSociated Press.l
LONDON, September 11.-Although
the new Unionists held an overwhelm-
ing majority in the the Trades Union
Congress, they used their power with
moderation and discretion in marked
contrast with last years meet
ings. Socialists OF the last
land naturalization and denounci-
alton of capital were not permitted TO
occupy the attention OF the Congress,
the delegates applying themselves TO
discussions of Immediately practical
nature The Democratic character OF
the Congress was never more pro-
nounced though socialistic views
were less obtrusive. The pre-
vading tone of the speeched
showed an absolute conviction that
labor will within the near future
dominate parliament and make the
country's law. The old colonists dis
played the same consciousness OF mas
terry of the position OF the new unionist,
though tanner in vindicating their
labor claims and predictions Of victory.
The moderates could not prevent
the ultra democratic section from
passing some erratic resolutions, such
as the payment of county councillors
and vestrymen, and everybody holding
representative place, the appointment
of workmen on juries, and the payment
of every juryman ten shillings per day
proposed, which in general point 10
aspirations on the part Of the dele
gates, or future spoils OF Office
The proceedings eliminated to-day In
contest between the old and the new
Unionists over the election of a parlia-
mentary committee. The existing cou
mittee has large element OF old Union
lists and moderate men desiring 70 re-
form the constitution. The congress
gave the ultras less power.
The rumor that the Dardanelles ques-
tion has subsidized is untrue. Lord Sal
isbury is actively taking diplomatic
steps. The POrtes Ambassador here
was summoned to COnstantinople yes
terday to give an account Of the posi-
tion.
A dispatch to-day from Constantipople
says that Kismil Pasha will probably be
appointed Governor Of smyrna

is an assumption on theory. The fight
between Sherman and Foraker for the
senatorship is counted on, too, by the
Democrats to help their cause some.
There is no doubt about the seriousness
of that fight and there may be other
possible candidates for the senatorship
drawn into it before the campaign Is
over. | saw letter from Mr.. Foraker
written day or two ago, thanking
friend for some ammunition for fighting
Sherman and declaring that, while he
had sought TO avoid the fight and tried
to keep out OF il personally, Sherman
had forced the fighting, dragging the
senatorial contest into this campaign,
and that he (Foraker) would be CRATE
full for whatever his friends did for him.
The situation in New York Is one
which gives the the Democratic leaders
most annoyance. The party there Is In
such bad shape, as a result OF rivalry
among possible candidates for the pres
idency, that they cannot help being
considerably embarrassed In the COM
paign for governor this fall. 1t Is expect
ed that Flower will be the nominee for
governor, though there are all sorts or
complications possible before the work
of the convention is done. After that
when they have their candidate In the
| field, there is the fear which will re-
main, that rivalry will lead 10 the knif-
| ing of the candidate lest he get too
ambitious and start of as Presidential
candidate. The Republicans are keeniy
alive to the situation. expecting tho
rival factions to do each other and their
party considerable damage. Platt and
his followers are working for the Legis-
| lature more than anything else and are
looking a long way ahead, but they see
the possibility that heir candidate for
Governor may not fall outside the
breastworks this time, though IL may be
nothing more than bare possibility.
| The most serious trouble they antici-
pate within their own lines is from the
opposition to Platt personally.
In Iowa the Democrats are fighting
against the tariff and prohibition, and
are predicting the election OF their can
ditate for Governor. A large number OF
speakers are going 20 be sent through
that State and through the Northwest
generally. In every direction they are
drawing the line OF battle on the Me-
Kinley bill, so that In every State, eX-
cept Pennsylvania, where local issnes
growing out OF the financial troubles
that State has experienced OF late will
occupy attention, preliminary skir-
mish on the tariff question will be had
this year, and upon the general results
depend the Presidential nominations OF
the two parties to considerable extent
and the conditions under which they
will enter the fight next year. The loss
OF Ohio to the Republicans this year
would give them tremendous handi-
cap. and at the same time IL would
probably greatly disturb the calcula-
tions OF men who are ambitious for the
Democratic nomination.

Business Outlook for tho Future inc
Brightcst Known for Years.
Nsw YORK, September l1.-R. G.
Dan & Co.'s weekly review Of trade
says:
All returns OF the condition OF busi-
ness are encouraging. There Is no
room for doubt about the Improvement
In trade. Nearly every city reporting
there comes the the same cheering In
formation that business is better and
prospects brighter. At Philadelphia
the tone of the iron market has much
improved. Dry goods sales In August
at Chicago were the largest ever known.
and the clothing trade is very large with
fair collections and trade excellent.
Money plentiful for legitimate ute.
Even at the South the Improvement
Is general, especially at Louisville,
Memphis, Savannah and Atlanta, and
at New Orleans trade is more active.
The enormous receipts OF wheat have
depressed the price at ono time as low
rs 81 per bushel. The exports continue
large, but the belief Is growing that
foreign crops are not quite so short as
has been reported.
The great INDUSTRIES are making sat
isfactory progress. Iron production has
been maintained for three months with
in about 10000 tons weekly OF the
largest quantity ever reached, and the
consumption cannot be far behind. A
larger demand is seen for finished pro-
duets, especially for bar iron, and the
plate mills are full OF orders, bat In
rails the change IS observed. Wool Is
selling fairly well at all the important
markets, and there is seen better de-
mand for dry goods, which gives much
announcement to manufacturers.
The financial outlook Is clear. The
opening OF Germany and Denmark To
American pork products has lifted the
price Of pork half dollar per barrel.
With the greatest crops ever grown
and an unprecedented foreign demand
for grain and meats the prospect must
be considered unusually encouraging.
The business failures during the past
seven days number 2l4, as compared
with a total OF PIT last week. For the
corresponding week OF last year the fg-

Arrested In San Francisco for Murder-The
Actor In a Bad scrape.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 11.-Late
last night the policemen in the South
ern Police Station were startled by a
pistol shot just outside the door. Run
ming out they found Officer Grant lying
dead on the pavement with a bullet
wound in his head.
A man was seen running away, and
on being caught was found to have
Grants handouts on his wrists. On
the pavement near the dead policeman
was found a discharged pistol. The
man gave his name as Maurice Curtis,
well-known comedian, and denied shoot
ing Grant.
Curtis had been drinking all the even
ing with some friends. Why he was ar
rested is not known, but it is supposed
he had been creating disturbance.
Two men saw Curtis and the other
struggling in front of the police station,
and then saw the flash OF pistol. Cur
tbs was seen at the police station, but
would not talk. He was under the in
fluence OF liquor.
The arrested comedian booked for
murder was a pitiable object as he sat
in the police station wringing his hands
in despair. My God," he cried, 'tf
could only recall the last four hours OF
nv life. I'm no murderer, gentlemen.
l had no pistol. shot nobody. L have
not an enemy in the world"
Vainly he protested his innocence OF
any offense and wanted to go home to
his wife. In rambling way he told
the story OF his business and his affairs.
The only known witness of the shoot
ing were two young men, Thomas Null
Ter and L. Toomey, who stood d.
rectly across the street and
heard the policeman say, "Come
along now" There was no reply but
almost at the same instant the young
man saw fash. A pistol shot rang out
in the quiet street, followed in quick
succession by two more reports. The
officer fell to the sidewalk without a
groan and Curtis, who moment before
had been his prisoner, turned
and fled up Folsom street
The officers from the station near by
gave chase and soon captured the fugi-
tives. The dead officer was native OF
Nova Scotia. By consent the case was
postponed until Monday next to await
The action Of the Coroner's jury and tc
allow the attornies TO prepare thell
| cases.

INTERNATIONAL ELECTKICAL CON
GRESS.
A Banquet to the Members-Cordial Ex-
pressIons OF tho Canadians.

pre08lOuB OF INC CAhaoAoHSs
MONTREAL, September 11.-A grand
banquet in honor of the delegates to the
International Electrical Convention now
iu session in this city, was given last
night at the Windsor Hotel.
The banquet was rendered to the
visitors by the Citizens Committee, and
was a great success. Nearly five hun
dred guests sat down to dinner. The
chair was occupied by Sir Donald A.
Smith, president Of the Bank OF Mon
treal, and Chancellor Of McGlll Uni
versity. The chairman had on his
right Lord Stanley, Governor General
OF Canada, and on his left G. A. Hunt
ley, of Buffalo, President OF the Asso-
citation. The Mayor of Montreal and
most of the prominent citizens attended
the banquet. After the toast to the
Queen, Sir Donald A. Smith, in propos-
ing toast to the President OF the
United States, said: "0n an occasion
on which Canadians and Englishmen
meet, they honor this toast from the
very bottom of their hearts"
After reply from U. s. Consul Cen
eral Knapp, the toast OF 1.-The Cover
nortGeneral" was proposed, and was
honore6 with great enthusiasm.
Lord Stanley, on rising to respond,
received an ovation from the delegates,
cheering lasting several minutes. Lord
Stanley made the speech of the even
ing. He welcomed the delegates to
Canada on behalf of the government
and said that he was deeply gratified
! that they had been enabled to extend
the sphere Of their operations into the
border Of a very friendly State. He
expressed the hope that the flag OF the
United States and that OF England ano
the Dominion would long float side by
side in amicable unity. [Great applause
He trusted that this gathering
would be the forerunner OF many 9th
ers, and the Americans would remem
Der that the border was line easll!
crossed, and that on its northern sld'
they would always find those who were
ready and happy to welcome them a
friends. He referred to the prospect
of electrical science and boundless pos
sibilities. England, he said, would b.
glad to welcome them IL they ever de
cldei to make her visit. The Gov
ernor-General was frequently interrupt
ed by applause.

TERRIBLE MARINE DISASTER
In the Mediterranean - One Hundred
Persons Reported to be Drowned.

ATHENS, September 11.-A collision
took place off Point Colonna, the south
ern part of Attica, between the Italian
steamship the Taormina, and the Ital-
ian MeSsageri, and Greek steamship
TheSsalia. The Taormina sank soon
after the accident, drowning her cap
tain, several of her crew and forty OF
her cabin passengers.
The second officer of the Taormina,
and a number Of passengers who were
standing on the bridge at the time the
collision occurred, were saved by the
boats OF the Thessalia. The dam
age done TO the Taormina by the
collision with the TheSSalla was
so great that she sank a few
minutes after being struck by the
Greek steamship. Most of the Taor-
mammals passengers were in their
berths OF the time the vessels collided,
and the latest estimate is that a hun
dred persons were drowned. The Thes-
salia was badly damaged forward, but
by keeping the pumps going the steamer
inst succeeded in reaching Phaleron.

DETECTIVES IN TROUBLE.
Arrested and Jailed for kidnapping two
Citizens of seattle.

Citizens of Seattle.
SEATTLE, WASH, September IL
Detective Sullivan and his two deputies
who kidnapped William e. Bailey and
r. B. Albertson yesterday, and drove to
Black River Junction with theintention
of taking a train for Tacoma were cap
tured there last evening on the arrival
nf the train Or 1L~c'elaPJs JThe,GaRtnGe
Seattle and a posse, and the whole par
ty returned here shortly after mid
night. Sullivan had a Pierce county
warrant for the arrest OF Albertston,
charging him with having some know
ledge of his cousins whereabouts. The
warrant, however, was not indorsed by
King cOuntynofficials.
Sullivan and his men caught Albert
son and Bailey as they were going home
TO dinner and one of the detectives told
AlbertSon be had warrant for his ar
rest. AlbertSon demanded to see the
warrant. A deputy said: "Get in the
hack and we will drive to your office"
Bailey and Albertson both got in and at
once the doors were closed and the two
armed detectives held their prisoners
while the hack was driven rapidly out
of the city. The party drove to Black
River Junction, where the driver re-
belled. Sullivan then got out Of the
hack with the prisoners to wait for the
train from Seattle. The train was two
hours late and when it tarrived the Chief
of Police and posse arrested Sullivan
and the two deputies, who were brought
there and placed in Jail.
The kidnapping of Bailey and Albert
son was the outgrowth of the disap-
pearance from this city of Cashier AL
bertSon, of the Fidelity Trust Company,
about two weeks ago. Albertson left o
shortage In his accounts amounting TO
about $4,000. Several thousand dol
lars in securities also disappeared about
the same time, aud 1t is supposed Al
bertson took them. Last week, j. NJ.
Coon, Cashier Albertson'S brother-in-
law, was kidnapped by Sullivan's detec-
tives, and kept confined in hotel for
several days in the hope that he would
disclose something regarding his
brother-in-law's whereabouts. AS stated
in last nights report, Bailey is a young
man, whose father is a millionaire at
Harrisburg, Pa. Young Bailey is owner
OF the Harrisburg block here, and preSl-
dent and director Of several banks.
