THE BUS STRIKE.
Socialist Burns Cheers the Men With a
Promise of Victory.

Socialist Burns Cheers the Men With a
Promise of victory.
LONDON, June 10.--Soclalist Burns ad-
dressed a mass meeting of the omnibus
strikers on the street and declared that
he had collected fifty pounds in three
minutes in the County Council for the
benefit of the strikers and he said that
victory was certain. The strikers hooted
the non-unionists but the police kept
order.
The companies say they have re-
ceived 400 applications for positions,
but as yet have engaged no new men, as
they wish to give the former employees
time to reconsider their action.
The police are helping take care of the
companies horses to-day, the strikers re-
fusing to longer attend them.
Cardinal Manning, J. E. Gorst and
Watts, the artist, have expressed them
selves in favor of shorter hours for the
striking omnibus drivers

WASHINGTON, June 10-Information re-

declares that the fighting on both sides
is brutal, many of the combatants being
bayoneted after being wounded.
The hospitals at Iquique contained 300
wounded. The accommodations and
medical attendance are good, the sur
geons of the different foreign men-of-
war in the harbor assisting at amputa-
tions. Provisions are plentiful at slight

Advices from Santiago, by way of
Buenos Ayres, state that Balmaceda
now has everything in readiness for a
grand advance on the insurgents and
that the movement will begin promptly.
1t is perilous expedition, owing to the
condition of the Atacama Desert, upon
whose heat and aridity the insurgents
have relied as an impossible barrier to
attack by land.

a MAQNETIO PLANT.
AN Indian Plant That Shocks tho Huma
System,
AT TROY


AN Indian Plant That Shocks tho Human
System.
There has been discovered In the for
est Of India, according to The Weeks
Sport, a strange plant, which possesses
to very high degree astonishing mag
netic powers and which Is q great
source of annoyance to hunters and
tourists. 1t has been named the Philo-
tarea electriea. The hand which breaks
leaf from this plant Immediately re-
ceives q shock equal to that which Is
produced by an induction coil At a
distance Of six yards magnetic needle
Is affected by it and will be deranged
If brought near. The emery of this
singular influence varies with the hour
OF the day. All powerful about two
O'Clock In the afternoon, 1t is absolutely
annuled during the night. AT times OF
storms its intensity augments to strflh-
ing proportions. During rain the plant
seems TO succumb, and bend It's head
during a thunder shower. 1t remains
there without force or virtue, even If
one should shelter 1t with an umbrella.
No shock is felt at that time In break
ing the leaves and the needle is unaf-
fected beside it One never by any
,chance sees birds OF insects alight on
the electric plant; an instinct seems to
warn them that they win find certain
death there. 1t Is also important to
remark that where 1t grows none OF
the magnetic metals are found, neither
iron, cobalt nor mcclellan undeniable
proof that the electric force belongs ex.
clusively the plant.

Unpleasant Experience of a Rector Whs

Unpleasant Experience of Rector Whe
RebuiSed His Daughter.
A London paper relates n queer In
cident that happened in Welsh church
the other Sunday. The rector began TO
rebulze his people in severe terms for
not attending Sunday morning service,
and impartially included his own
daughters in the rebulke. "Whereupon,
to his astonishment, says the story,
''up jumped one Of his daughters and
told the people that her father was a
man who, when he first awoke, could
not rise unless his hot water was
brought and the towel was placed
under his nose. She related how boots
had to be cleaned fires lighted, and the
breakfast prepared, and then went on
TO describe how the worthy clergyman
required his Nook and his coat and his
gloves and his hat and stick and--his
cal5e and his wine before be was ready
TO start 10 his work. This was all de-
tailed with minuteness and volubility,
Tho reverend father kept no servant,
and there was the household work 70
be done, and, besides, he insisted upon
O hot dinner served with punctuality.
Under these circumstances, the lady
pleaded, was 1t possible for her TO get
TO worship ON Sunday morningP The
sympathies Of the audience were with
the daughter"

The MATURING BONDS.


pNe max per teNtss
WASHINGTON, June 1O.-Contrary to
expectations the Cabinet reached no de.
cision respecting the funding Of the 4 l-2
per cent. bonds due Sept u. In fact
the subject came in for little discussion.
Secretary Foster urged that the otter of
the New York bankers to fund the en-
tire SOL 10000 Of 1-2 per cents. into 9
per cents. on Sept. 1 be adopted, and he
backed up his argument with figures 20
show that it was to the best interests of
theagovernment to adopt it.
The offer Of about dozen Western
banks to accept 1-2 per cents in lieu of
the 10 per cents. seemed more feasible
to the President and Secretary Rusk and
they so stated. But as there was no
need of hurry in deciding this matter, it
was laid aside in order that some diplo-
matte questions might be considered.
The impression prevails to-day that the
Cabinet will Join with Secretary Foster
and that the offer Of the New York bank
ers will be accepted

GLENDALE, L. l., August TO add
to Long Islands already long list OF
crimes, another mysterious murder was
revealed in this village today, that will
probably, like many others, never be
solved. The victim this time is a
pretty young woman, about 20 years OF
age, with dark hair and eyes
and Of petite figure. The hor-
rible crime was discovered this
morning by a man picking black
berries in a swamp. The body was
found near new dwelling in the course
of construction. Marks of finger and
thumb nails on the throat of the girl
left no doubt that she had been muir
dered by being choked. Her neck bore
five abrasions, and on the left side Of
the throat the nails Of four fin
gers had cut into it and the
thumb nail had penetrated the skin on
the right side. The vital organs were in
the normal condition. The clothing OF
the girl was in perfect order when the
BODY was first discovered, and there was
nothing to indicate that any struggle
had taken place. Hundreds saw the
dead girl today, but none knew her.

MARYsvILLE, CAL, August 2.-On July
16, 1890, George Ball, an old resident Of
this city, was foully murdered, and an
attempt was made to burn his remains,
which was prevented by fremen. The
police here and detectives from all parts
of the state worked on meagre clues
which came into their possession, but
with varying and poor success. Suspi-
cion fell on William Osley, a colored
waiter Of this city, and on George Mad
dox, another negro, and they were
arrested, and charges of murder fled
against them, late last night.
This morning Under Sheriff Bevan
had talk with Osley, who is
dying of consumption, in which
he confessed his implication in
the crime. He stated that the inten.
ton was to rob Ball but not to murder
him. George Maddox and George Col
Inns, third negro, who was recently
killed in Stockton, went into Balls
building on the night of the murder and
remained there until he came home,
Osley remaining on the outside to give
the alarm in case the police appeared.
When Ball came in Maddox and Collins
jumped on him, and he showed fight to-
such an extent that they hit him on the
head. He moaned so much that they
hit him again and finally jabbed him in
the throat with fork. Not finding as
much money as they expected they felt
mad, and after securing his watch chain,
locket and q few other trinkets the three
men covered the body over with straw
while the man was still alive and set
fire to it. Two went to the Dawson
house and all three left that night.
Osley states that his partners in the
crime never gave him dollar or any
part of the swag; that they spurned
him; that they have threatened him if
he said word.
Maddox says that it is all lie, but he
very visibly shows that he is deeply
alarmed at the prospect. He told one
Of the prisoners this afternoon that they
never would hang him, because be would
suicide first. Under Sheriff Bevar found
small piece of glass with sharpened
edges sewed in Maddox's trousers on
examining him closely today.
Considerable excitement prevails here.
All who subscribed to the large reward
express their willingness to pay in the
event of conviction, which Under Sheriff
Bevan says is certain.

Tragedy at o Ball.

DURANGO, Colo, August 2.-At ball
in the Blue mountains, July Oath, a ter
rible tragedy occurred. A tough char
acter, named Tom Roach, insisted upon
dancing. He was drunk and armed with
knife and a six-shooter. He was told
that the sets were all full and requested
not to interfere with the persons already
on the floor, but he declared that he
would dance, and he took hold OF gem
tleman and attempted to remove him
from the floor. This was resented and
the parties became engaged in scuffie.
when young man named Frank
Hyde attempted to end the disturbance.
Roach, turning on Hyde, viciously
stabbed him with his knife inflicting
dangerous wounds. Roach left the
room. but continued to act in q disor-
derly manner. A cowboy named Billy
McCord tried to pacify Roach by talk
ing to him. This seemed to eurage
him more than ever, and drawing his
gun, he killed McCord. By this time
the excitement was becoming intense.
As no one YVES armed, the people were
almost panic-stricken. A boy slipped
away to house near by and secured a
Winchester rifle, returned, took aim.
and fred, but missed Roach and killed
Mrs. Walton, an estimable woman liy-
ing in the community. By this time
CONSERVATION seized upon all and horror
reigned supreme. In the excitement
Roach left the place, since which time
he has not been seen. The entire COM
munity is searching for him. Much
sorrow is felt for the death OF Mrs. Wal
ton and McCord, both of whom were
well known and respected.

RIOT AT OMAHA.
Eirht-Hour Strikers Make a Raid ON the
Smelling Works.

Smelling Works.
OMAHA, Neb., August 2.-The trouble
at the Omaha and Grant smelling works
over the eight-hour day took on more
serious aspect today. The men have
been working eleven and twelve-hour
shifts, and have many times agitated
the question OF shifts of eight hours
each. When the eight-hour law went
into effect Saturday, the company de-
manded the men to sign contracts bind
ing them to work the same hours
for the same pay as was received
before. The men not willing to do
this, were asked to report to the main
office Of the company Several did 80
report, ,sand were promptly discharged,
This created much dissatisfaction, and
all last night mutterings OF discomfort
were heard. A strong force of police
was put ON guard at the works, and
trouble was averted at the time.
At O'Clock tonight the day shift OF
men assembled at hall in Bohemian
town, and there, in Bohemia, Polish
and other foreign tongues, discussed the
question. When liquor and oratory
had sufficiently aroused the men, they
marched in body to the works and
drove the men from the furnaces and
other parts of tie buildings. The po-
lice there could do nothing with the
mob.
BY O'Clock this morning everything
was quiet, and all the men had quit
work and left the, place. No one was
injured, though the mob at one time
threatened reporters with violence. The
fires in the furnaces were left to take
care of themselves, and many of the Gu
polas will be chilled.
