LONDON, Nov. IA dispatch received
here to-day from Rangeon announces that
Lieut.. Larry, of the Eighth Madras infan-
try, who for some Gays past has been on
trial before a couri-nartial charged with
cheating al cards, has been ac-
quilted. This court-martial has
excited considerable comment IN
military circles on account of the recent
baccarat scandal which brought Sir William
Gordon Cumming into such unpleasant
notoriety and which caused the Prince of
Wales TO become the target for showers of
adverse public criticism. Lord Lieut..
Lowry, however. was charged with
cheating at poker. HIS accusers
hold that he was noticed while

was DESTROYS of adding one or
two more aces to his collection, to deal the

WiIIiarn and EiSmarcLs.

BERLIN. Nov 15-AS the dav for the
opening OF the reichstag approaches interest
increases in the approaching conflict be-
tween the kaiser and Bismarck That
there will bc a conflict nobody doubts. and
there is a half-Supprcssed feeling that it
may proceed TO eXtrGmitieS. Although out
of power. Bismarck is to-day the most influ-
ential man in the German empire.
The kaiser is aware of this and ne
is aware that a blow at Bismarck
would be widely resented. He bitterly
hates the eX-chancellor, who returns his
hate with unveiled contempt. The kaiser
has several times spoken of bringing Bis
marck under personal discipline. but de-
sisted when he saw that even the most
sycophantic of his cOurtierS received tee
suggestion with dread. But now there is
general feeling, more suppressed than ex-
pressed, that the antagonism is about to
reach crisis, and that the man who MADE
the empire will eXasperate beyond measure
the young man who wears the crown. 1t
is understood that BiSmarck'S chief
assault will be upon the commercial
treaties II Is known that for
some time Herbert Bismarck has been col
lecting statistics rs TO the condition of Ger
man agricultural interests, and the probable
effect of the treaties opening the German
markets TO Austria and Hungary. Those
statistics are TO be presented by his father
in the reichstag. and it is expected that
they Will produce profound effect
upon the representatives OF the agricui-
tural community. Bismarck has, it is
said, given up the idea at present
on attacking the Socialists. He has
always spoken of social democracy as the
danger most threatening the empire, but it
is said that he has concluded to be silent on
that beet at present in order not to
ALLEVIATE such sympathy as the Socialists in
the reichstag may choose to extend in his
parliamentary fight against the kaiser
Everybody is asking whether Bismarck
will reveal any of the causes that led to
his withdrawal from the cabinet There is
authority to say that he will not enter upon
this subject, but will await some inviting
or provoking utterance on the part of his
opponents. The applications for cards of
admission have been so numerous that
multitude have had to be refused.

DR.. HUNTER,
FARMERS ALLIANCE
To Hold Their Annual Meeting at Indian
apolis Tuesday-Editors Likely
to Scrap.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND, Nov. 15.-Very few
delegates to the annual meeting of the
Farmers Alliance have arrived thus far,
but it is expected that nearly 1000 of them
will get here tomorrow. The gathering
will be called TO order Tuesday morn
ing at 10 O'Clock by President L. L. Polk
A number of prominent men are on the
programme for speeches, among them SEN
ator PETER, Congressman Simpson, 7. V.
Powderly, Gen Terrell and Ignatius Dom
nelley.
The Reform press association, composed
of the editors of papers that advocate the
principles of the Alliance, will hold its an
nual meeting here tomorrow, and
rather stormy session is anticipated.
An attempt, it is understood. will
be made by those members of the associa-
ton who are in favor of the third party
scheme to secure radical change in the
constitution. At present it provides that
no editor shall become a member
whose paper does not support all the de-
mands of the Alliance. The third party
men propose, if possible, to amend this sec
ton so as to admit TO membership the edit
ors of newspapers that indorse
the Alliance principles in gen.
eral way, which, according to an
anti-patry man, practically means the ed
itors of the Peoples party organs. The
proposition, it is thought, will precipitate
quite an animated discussion.
The National F. NJ. B. A. will also meet
Tuesday, and strong effort at consolida-
ton or close affliation viii made.

IN PARTIAL ECLIPSE.
THE MOON WAS SHROUDED IN
GLOOM LAST NIGHT.
The Eclipse Visible Throughout the
United States-The Next One Occurs
Nineteen Years Hence.
From Mondays Daily.

That rare occurrence, partial eclipse of
the moon, occurred last night, and much

The last total eclipse of the moon occurred
in 1874 and none will take place again
until 1909, nineteen years hence.

quently than dissertations of the moon,
owing to readily explainable causes,
although the points where eciipses
of the sun may be observed
are vastly more circumscribed than those
from which the observation of the moon
may be noted. An eclipse of the moon is
observable over one-half the surface of the
globe. The shadow cast by the earth is in
the shape of a cone, owing to the vastly
greater proportions of the solar body. the
base of the cone resting upon the earth.
Hence, were the moon far enough away
in space she would not pass through
the shadow and no eclipse would take place.
1t is entirely question of angles. 1t is
only within recent years that eclipses of
the moon have been observed photographic

provements in the dry plate and photo
graphic camera been brought to bear upon
upon the phenomena.

United States this side of the
globe being the part that is turned toward
the moon. In the Pacific states the eclipse
commenced before sunset, while on the At
lantic coast the moon had well risen before
passing into the shadow of the earth.
The moon is larger and fuller
than at almost any other time IN the year
The first effect noticeable was the casting
of the shadows of the penumbra and the
umbra, the shadows Of shadow. These
shadows could be seen through powerful
glasses, but were hardly noticeable to the
naked eye: Closely following these light
shadows the dense shadow Of the earth
crawled over the moon. At first circular
lndentation was noticed on the east side of
the moon. 1t required some time for
the orb to pass completely into the
shadow and the phenomena was observed
by easy stages, as it were. The small break

SALVATION LEAD.
The Omaha Muster of the Sal
vation Army Terminates
IN A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Nettie Birdler Fatally Wounds Hattie
Smith and then Kills Herself-The
Cause Jealousy and Semi
Religious Frenzy.

OMAHA. NEB., Nov. 15.-The muster Of
the Northwestern division of the Salvation
Army at Omaha to meet La Marched Booth
CIibberon of France has terminated in a
tragedy, sad, sudden and ineXplicable.
While yet the bell of the army head
quarters in Omaha tolled the curfew
requiem for dead Sunday and
the soldiers were fling slowly out of
the barracks, the sound of a pistol
shot rang out above the notes OF the bell,
and one of the captains of the army fell to
the ground, with the blood gushing from
her nose and ears. Her body had hardly
lodged on the sidewalk wen private reeled
from the ranks and staggering blindly fell
in the gutter. her soul winsing away amid
the cloud of smoke from her own pistol
1t was just after 6 O'Clock in the evening
and the army's forces had gathered at the
barracks for the purpose of making the
usual parade prior to the services. The
presence in Omaha of the Official heads of
the army i'll France and America, La
Marschel Booth Cilbberon and her
brother, Commissioner Darlington Booth,
had drawn hither all the forces of
this division, which includes Iowa. Mime
sofa. Nebraska and the Dakotas For days
the army has held daily and nightly demon
strations and the work was seemingly meet
ing with great success.
The real motive for the fearful double
crime is not so clear as 1t might be, but the
indications point to a rather queer combi
nation of jealousy and semi-religion frenzy.
However obscure may be the motive that
prompted the deed, its results stand out
only too plainly. for the body of Nettie
Birdler, the murderess and suicide, rests
on marble slab at the city morgue, ana
her victim, Capt. Hattie Smith of the Sal
walton band at Oskaloosa, Iowa, is await
ing in untold agony the final extinguish-
ment Of the vital spark at her temporary
boarding place on Davenport street.

Davitt for Decency.

DUBLIN, Nov. 15.-It is an undeuiable
fact that since the death of Mr. Parnell the
attacks upon his widow made by some of
the opponents of the Parneilite section of
the Irish parliamentary party have grown
more viruient in their character The epi-
soie which occurred between Mr. Timothy
Healy, who was. subsequent to the split in
the National party, one of the most bitterly
aggressive of the foes of Mr.. Pauel, and
Mr.. Tudor McDermott. a nephew of Mr.
Pafnell, arising from language used in con-
nection with tEat lady, is still fresh in the
public recollection. 1t is stated by the
friends of Mr.. McDermOtt that on this oC-
casiOn Mr. McDermott called MIR Healy
from the law library OF the Four courts in
this city, and that when Mr.. Healy re-
sponCcd he was severely chaStiscd with a
riding whip. The other side of the story IS
that MIR. HealN, who Is Il much larger and
heavier man than Mr. McDermott seized
the latter bv the throat when he attempted
10 strike him and took the whip from him
However, whether Alr Healy was whip
PED or not, the TACT remains that MIR Healy
repeated in another speech the language
complained of, which consisted il charac-
terizirg Mrs ParnelI as woman of ex-
tremely loose moral character. The matter
has been cs.rrlea TO such an extent that
even 4 large number of those who opposed
MIR Parnel. politically are growing tired of
the coarse language used towards his widow
and deem tina, the best interests of ireland

More Trouble In China.

SHANGHAI, Nov. ia most serious re-
volt broke out November 10 near Foo

The rebels had for line full sway and
marched in force upon Tehwoi, sacked
the town of everything valuable. burned d
number of houses to the ground, killed
several people, and at last advices were
resting after their labors preparatory TO
sacking other towns. The Chinese authori-
ties at Foo-Choo were reported to be con-
templating energetic measures" for the
suppression of this revolt. The same state
of sullen silence prevails in government
circles. It looks very much like lull be-
fore the storm, diplomatic or otherwise.
