THE SPIRIT OF MUTINY
Again Breaks Out in the British Army in an
Attempt to Hang q Corporal.

Attempt to Hang Corporal.
LONDON, Nov. PA spirit of murderous
insubordination is prevalent at Aldershot
Taken in connection with the insubordina-
tion which some time ago resulted in the
practical deportation to Bermuda of a whole
battalion of the Grenadier Guards which
was followed by a revolt in the Coldstream
Guards, the affair at Aldershot might be
construed as another exhibition of the dis
content which is alleged to prevail in all
branches of the British service.
A corporal of the Second Battalion of the
Prince of Wsles Leinste- Regiment (Royal
Canadians, had by his petty tyrannies rem
dered himself an object of peculiar aversion
to the men. Complaints were made in the
usual military form against the obnoxious
corporal, but they seemed to have no effect.
Finally the men concluded that the only
way to avenge themselves was to kill him.
quickest manner of putting the corporal out
of the way would be to hang him, and this
was finally decided upon. As the corporal
was going his rounds he was seized by the
men. He was draggedto convenient spot.
Here moose was thrown around his neck
and willing hands soon had him suspended
in the air. He had been hanging only
short time when a sergeant discovered him.
The latter Immediately cut the rope and
notified the surgeon of the regiment, who
hurried to the place. The corporal was
nearly dead, and it required the most stren-
uous efforts on the part of the surgeon, as
sisted by others, to resuscitate him.

He Narrowly Escapes Lynching at the
Hands of the Populace.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-[Special 1-As
Mrs. Albrecht, who lives in the Hackensack
district, was returning home early last
night, man rushed out from q side path
and struck her with his list on the neck.
Throwing his weight upon her he bore her
to the ground. A lineman heard her scream
and went to her assistance. He seized the
man by the collar, and the latter arose and
knocked the lineman reeling. Cries Of
murder then sounded through the street at
tracing about 80 men to the scene. While
several of the party took Mrs. Albrecht to
her home, others went in pursuit of the
tramp, who had taken refuge in brush
patch.
The chase continued for about 800 yards,
during which Mr.. Albrecht fired shot at
the tramp, but inflicted only slight flesh
wound on one leg. He was soon captured,
and the crowd in charge of the prisoner was
soon REINFORCED by number of men from
neighboring saloon, and there is no doubt
that the man would have been pounded to
death had not John O'Shea interfered in be-
half of the law. He argued so effectively
that the crowd consented to take its prisoner
to the county Jail, where he gave the name
of Luke Higgins. He presented the appear
ance of champion football player after
game. He denied attempting to assault Mrs
Albrecht, but would say nothing further.

A DIPLOMATIC WAR.
AUTHENTIC INFORMATION OF THE
RUSso-FRENCH ENTENTE.

1t Really Means That France and Russia
Are Opposed to the Dreibund and Eng
land, but VIII Await a Better Time
Before Beginning Actual War.

PREsS.l
LONDON, Nov. 27.-The first authentic
Information conveying the results of NJ. De
Giers' sojourn in Paris has reached the
Foreign Office through the British Embassy
at Berlin. NJ. De Giers has communicated
to Emperor William and Chancellor Won
Caprivi clear explanation of the confer
ences held in Paris and the character of the
Russo-French entente therein achieved.
Doubtless the Gar has instructed his Min
lister to make declarations with view to
having, not only the German Government,
but other interested European Govern
ments, learn the nature of the compact.
According to a semi-oficial statement,
based on M'De Giers' declarations to Chan
cellor Won Caprivi, statement which will
possibly be published throughout Europe
tomorrow, the Russian statesman's recent
interviews with President Carnot, NJ. De
Freycinet, Premier and Minister of War,
and NJ. Ribot, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
resulted In DEFINITE agreement lor al eA-
clusively defensive alliance.
The entente differs on one most essential
point from the Triple Alliance treaty, mas
much as. while that makes the European
status quo the basis of the maintenance of
peace, the Russo-French entente aims at
what NJ. De Giers has called "respect for
treaties" meaning, especially, the restora-
tion of Russia's grip on Bulgaria and British
evacuation of Egypt. The differences on
these features of the situation are not, in
the meantime, to be regarded as constituting
danger of war, as both the Russian and
French Governments desire to assure
strict application of the existing treaties by
pacific means.
NJ. De Giers has further communicated
the fact that no treaty has as yet been
signed. and has intimated that French Min
listers desire the conclusion of formal con-
tract as alone properly defining future re-
sponsibilities and rendering it possible to
pursue a distinct policy before Europe,
while, at the same time, avoiding the re-
proach of cherishing warlike designs The
sum of these officials assurances from the
Berlin Embassy, is that the Paris confer
ences of NJ de Giers, instead of having an
empty character, as was generally reported,
have resulted In scheme to maintain diplo-
matte warfare against the Dreibund and
England, awaiting more propitious period
for engaging In actual war

IRWIN, Nov. N.-[Speeial. III the posi-
tive announcement made yesterday by some
of the newspapers, that the banking house
of Peter s. Pool & Son would reopen its
doors tomorrow morning were accepted by
those most interested, their fond hopes will
not be realized. This banking house will
not resume tomorrow, and according to q
statement given to THE DISPATCH CORES
pondent this afternoon BY Cashier S. E.
Pool, the precise date will not be made
known. Mr.. Pool simply, but very en-
pbatically, said:
I'VE will positively resume in q few days
and pay dollar for dollar. will say, how
ever, it will not be on Saturday. will not
say 1t will not be on Monday; you can see
why" Then the cashier added significantly:
ssBut all arrangements are being attended
to, and We will be prepared to meet any
check"
Townspeople show an utter lack of in
terest in the proceedings, being apparently
not at all uneasy. Latest reports show the
deposits foot up s125, ,ooo, the larger portion
miles. 1t includes building and loan as
sociations, societies, wealthy farmers,
business men, mechanics, laborers and
coal miners, the last named not being
least. Many of the miners have saved from
S100 to $1,000, and as some of the heavier
miner depositors are foreigners the present
apathy is surprising. 1t is generally be-
lfeved here the bank will resume early in
the week, and the desire of the officials to
keep the exact date secret is to avoid the
certain rush of small depositors. Sheriff
sale notices are posted conspiouously
throughout the region, stating that the ef-
fects of James White will be sold at auc-
tion for the benefit of P. S. Pool and others.
Some say the bank may not resume until
its money is realized from this sale.

afternoon of another disaster much sadder.
A young man named Ira DAVIS, aged 10
years, was buried under heavy mass of
coal and broken timbers and is doubtless
dead. Two other workmen have been taken
out badly injured, and whether other un-
fortunates have met death is not known.
The cause of the accident was the falling in
or crib which separated bins containing
coal of different sizes
About 80 men were working on one part
OF the pier this afternoon and shoveled
nearly all the coal away from one side of
the crib. This proved fatal, as the heavy
pressure against the other side caused the
large crib to fall in and crush under its
weight and that of the vast bulk Of coal
which went with it, several of the men who
were working there. Some appear to be
certain that the three men spoken of are the
only ones who suffered from the accident,
while others hold the opinion that there are
two or three more buried there.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27.-Secretary o
State James G. Blaine was an unexpected
visitor to this city this evening. His com

the Stratford management did not know
that he was to be guest until the moment
he entered the lobby and signed the regis

attended by his son, James G. Blaine, Jr..
and they repaired immediately to theil
rooms leaving word that they should not
be disturbed. Mr.. Blaine left Washington

1t was said later on that the Secretary
proposes to return to Washington to-mor-

Blaine in the Secretary of State Depart

and was apparently very much surprised to
learn that he was in the CITY.
Judge Ewing Pays q Purely Social Call.
"Our visit was purely social, said Judge
Ewing in the Stratford's public parlor this
evening, ''snd, in fact, Mr. Blaine did not
say word about his intention to travel, al
though We must have been in his Office until
within few moments of the train hour"
"Was there anything Of political signifi-
canoe referred to during your visit?"
''Not word on politics, assure you.
The Secretary did not touch upon the SUBJ
ject in any form, and did not ask questions
with view to having an expression from
him on topics in which the public seems to
have an interest just now. My brother and
another gentlemen, with myself, comprised
the party, and we were present possibly
more than half an hour"
There was slight stoop in Mr.. Blaine's
walk, and quite pallid look noted in his

Mr.. Blaine during his illness at Bar Harbor
last summer, called on him this evening.

Thanksgiving night. When near Roselle
they were stopped by three masked high

to hand over their money and valuables.
The answer the robbers got was sur.
prise, as Engineer Spencer suddenly leaped
from the vehicle, pitched into the biggest

one arm, the telling blows he struck sent
the robber sprawling and took all the fight
out of him. The fellow scrambled to his
feet and lost no time in plunging into the
bushes whence he had emerged. Spencer's
companions meanwhile had followed his in
spring example and tackled the other two
highwaymen, whom they speedily put to

RUsK's THREAT TO ENGLAND.
British Farming Societies Say America Must
Extirpate Cattle.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-Since Secretary Rusk
reported in favor of declaring that English
live stock be excluded from the United
States unless the restrictions on the landing
of American cattle at British ports be re-
moved, British farming societies have &C.
lively discussed the subject The balance of
opinion among live stock dealers distinctly
supports the attitude of Chairman Chaplin,
of the Board of Agriculture, on the subject.
Farmers journals are giving prominence
to announcements of recent outbreaks of
cattle disease in New Jersey with view to
enforcing the argument that before the
United States Government can legally claim
admission for American cattle it must satisfy
the British Government that pleuro-pneu-
monia is SO extirpated that no cases have
occurred in II months in any part of the
Union. 1t is contended that if Secretary
Rusk's intended prohibition is effected no
country will suffer so much from the .bsence
of pure-bred British live stock as the United
States.
