BRITISH TRADE.
Comments on the Effect Of the Mckinley

NEW YORK, Dec. ia London cable

ON THE VERGE
OF A RIOT.
Shots Exchanged Between Off,

Five Persons Killed and Two Others Fatally
Wounded-Yenseance Threatened
radO Militia Under Arms.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

DENVER, Dec. 12.-The strike of the
miners at the mines of the Colorado Coal
and Iron Company at Crested Butte has re-
suited seriously. Since the men-Italians
and Austrians-have been out they have
been very ugly. refusing to allow the COM
pany to bring in new men. They stopped
the pumps and fans. allowing the mines to
fill with gas until there is danger of the
mines blowing up, and have paraded the
streets heavily armed. threatening death
to any one attempting to assist the COM
pany.
Yesterday Sheriff Shares of Gunnison ar
rived with a posse of twenty five men to
take possession and guard the mines. No
sooner had the Sheriff and men alighted
from the train than they were attacked by
200 armed Italians and Austrians, who be-
gan firing with Winchesters. The officers
held their men for moment, and then or.
dered them to return the IRE, which they
did, with deadly effect, killing Mike Copui-
cine, Mike Minnelon, Mike Quercio, Mike
Warn and John Poche. all Italians. George
Simonioi and Grahake, Austrians, were
fatally wounded.
After the firing the miners retreated and
the posse took possession of the mines and
threw up redoubts. The miners swear venge-
ance upon every friend OF the coal COM
pany and the town is upon the verge of
riot. Further trouble was feared tonight.
The Governor has called out the State
militia, ana the troops are now at their
armory ready to start for the scene by spe-
clal train ut a moments notice.

DAMAGED BY STORM.
Effects Of The Blow on Orchards and
Buildings.

PASADENA, Dec. 12.-The worst storm
that has ever visited Pasadena made its ap-
pearance between 2 and o'clock yesterday
morning. The wind, which blew hard all
day Thursday, developed into fierce gale at
about the hour mentioned, and swept every
thing before it. The storm lasted for three
hours, and it did incalculable damage to
orange orchards and property in the busi-
ness section. The roofs of several of the
largest buildings were torn off and carried
some distance. Scores of windows were
smashed in and the streets cleared of all OBJ
structions, such as signs.
The churches suffered most. The First
Methodist Church was completely wrecked.
The estimated damage is $4,000. The
Christian and North Congregational
churches were razed to the ground. Several
houses in course of construction were blown
off their foundation. Many noble shade
trees were blown down and valuable plants
destroyed. The orange crop was greatly
damaged. At least half the crop is on the
ground, and the fruit on the trees is badly
bruised and unfit for marketing. Many
trees are torn up by the roots.
The telephone and telegraph wires ar
down. 1t was night before communication
was established with Los Angeles. The
Raymond Hotel was damaged somewhat by
falling chimneys. Forty thousand dollars
will probably cover the damage to the prop
erty. The loss to the orchardists cannot be
estimated.
POMONA, Dec. 12.-The severest storm
that ever occurred in this valley began
Thursday, continued all day and till next
morning. There was no damage to build
ingS. few signs and awnings were carried
away in the city. The damage was confined
to shade and ornamental trees and that was
not much. Orange orchards were damaged
some, but few trees were destroyed, GER
tainly not one in five hundred. The loss on
fruit is large. being estimated at quarter
of the crop, caused by whipping oranges off
and bruising many left on trees most heavily
loaded, which accounted for much less loss
than was reported yesterday. A few poorly
built houses were blown down in Lord sburg,
three miles north of Pomona. No damage
was done at Chino to the southeast. The
wind came from the north directly over the
mountains the same as in 1887.

DIR. GRAVES TRIAL.
Medical Experts Examined as to the Cause of
Mrs. Barnaby's Death.

Medical Experts Examined as to the Cause of
Mrs. Barnaby's Death.
DENVER. Dec. l2.-Most of to-day's ses-
sion OF the Graves trial was occupied by
testimony of various medical men connected
with the case as to what caused Mrs. Bar
naby's death, the effects of arsepical poison
ing. etc. DIR. Buckmsn, who performed the
autopsy, thought the primary cause of death
was arsenical poisoning. the immediate
cause being congestion of the lungs. To-
gether with DR.. Grant he said he yesterday
examined Mrs. WorrelI. They found the
muscles Of her feet very much degenerated,
no sensation in portions of her feet and in
Il mmatiOn of the toes of one foot. Intlam
nation OF the nerves was direct cause of
those symptoms, and only three things
brought this about-arsenic, alcohol or
syphilis. In his judgment this condition of
Mrs. Worrel was caused by arsenical
poisoning.
r. b. Carrier, a brother-in-law, and STEM
ographer to Worrell, testified to his getting
package out of the PostOffice and taking
1t to WorrelPs office, where, three or four
days later, he opened it for Mrs. Barnaby.
Worre!l said he would carry it home for her,
and the next day after Mrs. Barnaby had
been taken III. The witness was requested
to hunt up the wrapper and stamp, which
had been thrown III the Office waste basket
The defense endeavored to prove that the
stamps saved by WOrrell we're those taken
OF one OF the packages which DIR. Graves
did send instead of from the one containing
the poison. An adjourn ment was taken
while this point was being argued.

said this afternoon that he was afraid he
could not complete the organization of the
House committees before the Christmas re-
cess. though some of his friends think the
work can be done in few days after he gets
started on actual work. The failure of the

LONDON, Dec. ia dispatch from Rio
Janelro to the Exchange Telegraph Com
pany declares the reports OF gravity in the
political situation there are greatly exag-
gerated. The dispatch adds that the finan-
cial situation continues to be of most
gloomy nature, and many of the largest
undertakings, it says, are likely to collapse
at any moment. A public meeting was held
yesterday NJ which strong protests were made
against the imperial honors paid by France
to the late Emperor of Brazil on the occa-
sion Of his funeral in Paris. Governor Por-

quest of the Government that he resign his
position as Governor of the State of Rio
Janeiro, and he accordingly sent in his resig-
nation. He will be succeeded by Admiral
Silyeira.

PARIS, Dec. 12.-In the Chamber to-day
the debate on Hubbard's motion of yester-
day was very heated. Premier de Frey
cinet said he would never allow the preten-
sion OF the clergy to 60 unbound by laws.
He affirmed that the present state of affairs
must be changed, but stated that the Gov

THE ST. JOHN DIVORCE CASE
Tie Plaintiff and Her Friends Deny Her
Husbands CHARGES


LONDON, Dec. 12.-In the ST. John divorce
case to-day Miss st. John was called in re-
buttal. She denied the story Of her inti-
macy with Cohen, the correspondent. After
also denying the testimony of her maid and
the theatricaI-dresser, given yesterday, Miss
st. John admitted she had driven, dined,
supped and gone to balls and parties with
Cohen, but she did not like him any more
than she did other people. She did not
think Cohen loved her, although lie greatly
admired her. Miss Samuels, CoheD's sister,
said she never saw anything improper In
the conduct of her brother and Miss St
John. Others gave similar testimony.
The deposition by MIR. Mayer, a New
York theatrical manager, was read. He
stated that lie engaged Miss st. John for
her American tour. Arrangements for her
tour had been made with Marius. The lat
ter never complained to the deponent of his
wife's conduct. The deponent said he had
seen Miss St. John and Cohen together four
times. She always behaved as lady should
70 a gentleman. 1t was the custom for lead
Ing actresses TO receive their friends in their
dressing-rooms. The court then adjourned.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-The Chronicles st.
Petersburg correspondent says: Matters
here are drifting from bad to worse. The
whole energy of the Department of Finance
seems centered In manipulating the funds
on the Berlin and Paris exchanges. Despite
the reports of gold imports the Imperial
Bank return does not show an increase.
There is nothing to show whether the gold
Is locked in the war chest or what became of
it. All classes are discouraged because of
the half-heartedness Of the measures taken
by the Government to cope with the famine
difficulties. The consequences of the fam
inc are only beginning to be realized. Mer-
chants complain that the prohibition of
grain exports locked up capital and there is
no circulation Of money; the mobiles are un-
able 10 collect their revenue and therefore
decline to pay what they owe the shOp-keep-
ers; the cessation OF court festivities causes
distress to small tradesmen the famine
funds are frittered away by local suthori-
ties; grand remedial measures exist only on
paper; complaints Of enormous expendi-
lures on the army and navy are taken ad-
vantage OF by those unfriendly to the Gov
eminent. and the whole empire appears to
be eething mass of discomfort.
