Penzotti In Peru--Other News
From Foreign Lands.

BERLIN, April 9.-Society in the old world
q interested in nothing 80 much as the
romantic suicide of Anna Hagemann, one
of tue handsomest women on the German
stage. She was last performing at the
Munich court theater, after having been
driven from the Berlin stage by the brutal
treatment, it is said, she received at the
lands of her husband. In Munich she was
Intimate with the leading actor, Bonn. The
couple occupied luxurious apartments at
the Villa de Fregger. On Tuesday after
noon they dined together for the last time.
After dinner Anna went to her boudoir,
placed revolver to her heart and so died.
Her paramour Immediately rushed off to
the newspapers with plausible tale of
momentary insanity and suicidal mania
inherited from her fathers side, but the
police investigation threw different light
upon the affair. The true story reveals an
other woman in the case. This person,
who bears the title of royal duchess, and
who is the grandmother of princes and
princesses had become infatuated with
Bonn, WHO was a frequent attendant at the
court of her relative, tho prince regent of
Bavaria.
The duchess became so infatuated with
Bonn, who is a handsome man of the effem-
mate type, as to place her carriage at his
disposal and to openly display her jealousy
when her unfortunate rival appeared upon
the stage. She worked upon tho feelings of
Miss Hagemann by unde handed means
until the actress took refuge from her sor-
row and ended it in suicide.

RACED 1000 MILES.

Two Sailing Vessels Skim the Distance
From Calcutta to Boston.
BosToN, April 9.-The ship Trafalgar
passed Highland Light this afternoon. This
decides in her favor one of those races so
popular years ago, a contest between full
rugged ships over course II 900 miles long,
in which all sorts of weather had to be met
and every art of seamanship brought into
play. This race was between the
ships Ardencraig, 2022 tons, and
the Trafalgar, 1856 tons. The Ar
dencraiR lett Calcutta December 10, and
the Trafalgar sailed three days later. Both
vessels were jute laden, the Ardencraig car
rying more than 1900 bales. A fine run
was made across the Indian ocean. Thirty
five days out of Calcutta the Trafalgar
overlook her rival and spoke her. Then
the vessels parted and had not seen each
other since. In spite of two days storm
at Cape of Good Hope, the Arden
craig made a wonderfully quick passage
until she reached the equator. Here ad-
verse winds held her back, and she finally
reached Boston at 10 this afternoon, 116
days out The Trafalgar has not arrived
but she must be more than three days be-
hind if she was to be the loser. The after
noon the Marine observatory at Highland
Light on the top of Cape God, wired Ros-
ton that the Trafalgar was in sight ard the
ArdencralR people were beaten. The Ira
talRar will sail into the harbor tomorrow
forenoon.

no hing important has been elected. The
strikers seemed to have renewed hopes. It
is evident that some concession is to be

what it is cannot be learned. The

tices this morning. The soldiers will not
take any hand in the evictions unless the
strikers resort to violence.
This afternoon Capt. Loar and thirteen
deputies were arrested on the charge of
murder and taken to Scottdale. The ar
rested mon were brought here in
squads and taken to the squire's
office IN as quiet a manner as possible, to
keep the news from reaching the strikers.
A large crowd gathered, however, and the
sidewalk and street facing the Office were
soon a mass of humanity. The defendants
waived hearing, and they were taken to the
Eighteenth regiment camp, where they will
be carefully guarded until tomorrow. The
defendants are not worried over the ulti-
mate outcome of the suits.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Ordnance officers
at the war department have been earnestly
at work for weeks past preparing to give
effect to some of the more important feat
ures of the fortifcation appropriation act,
which will go into operation after June 30.
10 avoid loss of time, most of the adver-
tisements for proposals to supply material
have been prepared and will be issued IN
advance of the beginning of the new fiscal
year. Those ready for issue are as fo lows:
For twenty-five sets forginRs for steel field
guns of thirty-two inch caliber; sixteen
sets for steel field mortars of thirty six
inch callber, and sixteen steel car
riages for same: steel forgings for
large eight, ten and twelve inch rified coast
defense guns; eighl, ten and twelve inch
armor piercing projectiles. For the large
coast defense guns above referred to con
gress appropriated $500, 600 for procurement
of the necessary forging, and the material
will be assembled at Watervliet factory and
the finished guns turned out. The thirty
six inch mortars mark new departure in
military field operations. They are in
tended to replace the small concerns which
are used in trenches for Smelling an enemy
behind earth-works or like defenses. and
out of the direct fire of field
guns. Their range Is nearly three
time as great as the Cohorn smooth bore
mortars, the projectile is more than twice
as heavy and great accuracy of fire is OBJ
tainable. The weight of the piece is about
525 pounds so it can be easily transported
in a wagon or moved about by men in
trenches. The armor-piercine projectiles
are to be manufactured bv domestic con-
Germ, but upon specifications that will se-
cure the use of some of the modern Euro
pean patent processes. For their procure
ment an appropriation of 100000 will be
available.

inharmonious end suddenly this evening.
After fierce battle of words and opinions.
further talk was declared proAtless and ad-
Journment was made sine die. This action
means practically that the interstate agree
ment has been abolished and the amioable
and harmonious relations that have existed
between the two classes for the past five
years are broken off and may not be re-
aumed. IL also means that 75.O0O mine
workers in Ohio and Pennsylvania regions
will stop work May l, affecting hundreds of
thousands of persons indirectly. As the
other mine workers of the country will also
demand an eight-hour day. the con-
tinuatlOn of work after May
now seems almost impossible. Two
great organizations, the Knights
OF Labor and the Federation of Labor, are
back of the mon, and their money will be
was the only one Of the operators favoring
the eight-hour day. The others said in
substance that they could not stand it; that
the cost of production would be increased
by it, etc. After adjournment of the con-
ference the miners held a meeting and de-
cided to demand an advance May equiva-
lent to lO cents per ton. on the basis of an
eight-hour day, failing which strike will
follow.
Late tonight some of the leaders Of the
miners stated that they were satisfied that
the railroads OF the country were back of
the operators in their fight against the
eight-hour movement, and that the fight
would extend to the railroads also. The
operators in general way conceded that
some western roads were supporting the
fight against eight hours, but oenied any
concerted move.

Nomination for Mayor of Butte.
BUTTE. April 9.-ISpecial. The republic
cans discovered their mistake in nominat-
ing w. McC. White for mayor very
shortly after the adjournment OF the CON
vention last evening. Mr.. White at once
rendered his resignation to the central
committee. who accepted it this morning.
and appointed Chas. j. Stevenson, ex-
boiler inspector, in his place. Mr.. Steven
son very promptly accepted the nomination,
and the Inter Mountain cannot imagine
why the gentleman was not thought of be-
fore. With the republicans it was not o
question of choice-it was simply ques-
tion of who would accept the nomination,
and they are chagrined to have the public
know that no prominent member Of their
party would pose as martyr to the cause.
The democrats will have a walkover, and
already sporting men are offering four to
one on Mueller and no takers.

The New York Custom House Again
Source Of Political
Contention.
Small Likelihood That Collector
Erhardt and Appraiser Cooper
Will Go.
There Is Much Haste to Disburse the Largo
Sum Set Aside for Coast
Defenses.

WASHINGTON, April 9..-The Washington
news dispatches of New York paper rep
resenting that Secretary Foster had de-
praiser Cooper, and afterward to investi-
gate their management of the branches of
the customs service committed to their
care, have been promptly denied, rs might
have been expected. The reason assigned
or the principal reason-that En-
hardt and Cooper are offensive to Tom
Platt, and are therefore demoralizing the
republican party in New York. was proba-
bly, laughable to those gentlemen in the
county committee and in the state commit
tee who have recently come to the conclus-
ion that the man to be displaced,
in order to secure "harmony,'' is
Tom Platt himself The staff
about the appraisers office has been
old at any time during ten years or more.
There is always room for improvement in
the appraisers Office. What Secretary Fos-
ter will probably do. if he listens to good
advice will be to get rid of special agent
who has been exhibiting the invoices of one
firm of importers to the rivals of that firm,
in order to afford the rivals chance to
make prices.
The administration is in the way of know
ing the absolute facts about this man, who
was appointed by Mr.. Manning, but who
had been so rank a political adventurer that
his presence in the service was odious to all
who knew his history. 1t s a wonder that
Secretary Fairchild did not dismiss him,
and what it is that keeps him in under
republican control is an interesting
puzzle to good many politicians. Perhaps
he is L. G. Platt's man.
In an interview Secretary Foster stated
that the investigation into the administra-
tlon of New York customs affairs would
not be closed for a month yet, and
that it would then be time to take
action, if any were necessary. as a re-
suit of the investigation. If the results
warranted summary action he hoped to be
able to take it in the interest of approved
business methods. He added that there
was class of importers who thought that
they were treated as suspicious personages.
and he hoped to relieve them of their an
noyance.
