American Delegates to the None

tary Conference in London.
LONDON, Nov. Ex-senator Jones and
other American delegates to the inter
national monetary conference, which
meets in Brussels Tuesday, arrived in
London this afternoon. Upon the ar
rival of the delegates an-invitation was
found awaiting them from Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, chancellor Of the
British eXchequer, to dine with him to-
morrow. Secretary White, Of the Amer
lean legation, will give dinner at rhe
Savoy in their honor, Saturday, at
which a number of distinguished En-
glishmen will be present. Senator
Jones said that the remainder of the
delegates would arrive at Southampton
Saturday, and that they intende to pro-
coed to Brussels together on Monday.
The conference, he said, would probably
last month or six weeks, with three or
four sessions each week.
Asked for his opinion about the re-
ported instructions given the English
delegates by Sir William Vernon Har-
court that they were not to be bound by
any resolution or recommendations of
the conference. Senator Jones said that
he did not see how any other inStruc-
tiOlio MGIC pOOoiOlOs 4NOilC VI lllC UCIt-
gates were expected to be empowered
to bind their respective countries to any
agreements. The purpose of the con-
ference" he said, lis only to exchange
views, but we hope to convince the
others of the soundness of Americas
IDEAS"
The senator said that doubtless a re-
port would be drawn up, but whether
it was accepted by all the delegates or
not it would necessarily be submitted
back to the respective governments.
Asked what instructions the delegates
from the United States had, he replied
that he was not at liberty to disclose the
instructions given them by the state de-
partment, but its views and those of the
present administration were no secret
either at home or abroad. Senator
Jones paid glowing tribute to Rt.
Hon. Arthur j. Balfour's recent speech
at Manchester on bimetalliSm, wherein
he declared that England's existing cur
rency was neither convenient medium
of exchange nor fair permanent rec

MIR. LOWRY AND COUNCIL.

The common council has declared war
on Mr.. Lowry, and has devised a novel
and interesting plan of campaign. LII
evidently proposes to lombard him
with an uninterrupted fusilade of an
noying restrictions and unpleasant de-
mands until it forces capitulation on
terms which will be satisfactory to the
city. The GLOBE does not know how
effective these tactics will be, but it adj
mits that they are justifiable. st. Paul
unquestionably has grievance against
its local railway company, and the ge-
NAL Minneapolis gentleman who holds
our comfort and progress in the hollow
of his hand seems, at least for the pres
ent, to have abandoned the fair and rea-
sonable methods which once character
lied his treatment of public complaints.
Mr.. LOWRY wrung the franchises
which he enjoys from the reluc-
employed his old horse car charter as
an instrument to coerce us into giving
him the control of the electric system.
His improvements at the outset were on
such scale as to promise everything
which was desired. But of late the
service on many of the lines has been in
eXpreSsiDly bad. This is especially true
of the Selby evenue cable. During the
noon and evening hours the number OF
cars provided is entirely inadequate for
the crowds of passengers seeking trans
portatiOn. The trains run at irregular
intervals, so that thrOngS accumulate
waiting on the street corners. Then
follow pushing and packing and in
convenience to the point of absolute
distress. Even the platforms and en-
trance steps are filled, and hundreds OF
tired men and women walk rather than
submit to the ordeal. All this is bad
enough now, but when the colder
weather comes it will result in pos
tive suffering. This paper is not
in the confidence Of the railway
cOmpany'S management, but it ven
lures to suggest that some one of its
responsible officers stand at st. Peter
and Fourth streets any night from half
past to half-past 6. If he will not
confess after watching few trains go
by that no pettinesS on the part of the
common council can be sufficient re-
taliation for Mr.. LoWRY'S treatment of
this city, he will deserve the severest
punishment human ingenuity can in
vent. In other words, he Will deserve
to be sentenced to travel on his own cars
during this hour for week or two
When this fate has robbed him of foot,
an eye, and all his sweetness of DISPOSE
ton. he will perhaps be more ready TO
see that we have grounds for our indig-
nant protestations.

PRISONERS MUTINY.
Nine of Them Are Killed by the
Troops.


MADRID, Nov. 16-During the past
year several outbreaks among convlcts
have occurred in prisons i'll various
parts of the country. Today the most
serious of all the series occurred in the
prison at IarragOna, and nine of the
conVicts were killed. The cOnvictS have
been dissatisfied with their treatment
for some time, and formed plan for
general Jail delivery. Ordinary cOnvlcts
In Spanish prisons are allowed consider
able freedom within the walls. and this
practice allowed them in this case TO
carry their plan out.
Shortly after the prisoners were re-
leased from their cells this morning
they mutinied. At a signal from their
leader they sprang upon the wardenS,
and the latter, taken completely by sur
prise, were soon overpoWered. The
convicts then had foil possession of the
prison, with the exception OF the quar-
tiers occupied by the governor. Before
they could secure the keys that would
give them their freedom the governor
sent an urgent appeal for aid to the
military authorities, who promptly re-
sponded by sending detachment of
troops to the scene. When the troops
arrived they found majority of the
convicts assembled i'll the court yard.
The commander of the troops called
upon the prisoners to return to their
cells, but he was greeted with oaths and
derisive yells. Again he ordered them
to go back. The cOnyicts. who had
armed themselves with all manner OF
weapons, again refused to obey, and i'll
a body advanced upon the soldiers,
their actions and their enraged faces
ii fhof m mICnhInf
The rifles of the soldiers were loaded
with ball cartridges, and, as the con-
victs moved toward them, orders were
rapidly given for them to fire. The
order was obeyed. Before the smoke
had cleared away the convcts were
upon the soldiers, and desperate hand
to-hand fight followed. The convicts
sought to WreSt the weapons from the
soldiers, but in this they were not sue
cessful. If they had been, they prob
ably would have driven the troops Off
and made their escape.
Acting under orders from their COM
mander some of the soldiers retreated
from their struggling, yelling mass OF
humanity, and reloaded their guns.
Then awaiting an opportunity when
there was no danger Of hitting COM
rade they would fire upon the convicts.
A perISct pandemonium reigned for
time, but finally most of the convicts
were overpowered and driven, still ours
lug, back to their cells. Nine of the
mutineers, however. had been shot
dead, and sixteen others were seriously
wounded. The affair has caused great
excitement i'll this city, and it is de
manded that the privileges of the coll
victs be curtaled While the fight was
Or oceeding within the walls close
watch was kept by the police on the out
side, and it was found that the convicts
had made arrangements to receive out
side aid in their attempt to gain their
freedom. A close investigation will be
made into the causes that led to their
mutInY.

AsTUTE SIR JULIAN.

In the light of history there Is a
charming humOr about the recent
newspaper interview with Sir JULIAN
PAUNCEFOTE, Her Majesty VICToRIA's
representative at Washington. The
''history" referred to is that of the
Lord SACKVnLE-WES episode, where
in that misguided diplomat figured in
the unheroic attitude of being acceler-
ated homeward from Washington by
the ponderOus toe of President CLEvE-
LANDS boot.
Lord SACKVnLE'S fate demonstrated
that the American people are disposed
to run their own politics, and Lord
SACKVLLE's successor is keenly alive
to that fact. you will excuse me
from expressing myself in any way
upon the result Of your election, )" suave-
ly observes Sir JULIAN to the festive
newspaper man; and then he adds, just
by way of pleasantly changing the sub
ject: II have found my residence in
Washington very agreeable"
In other words, Sir JULIAN is ''up to
snuff" He likes the Washington eli
mate, Notwithstanding its malarial dis
advantages, and he wildly recalls the
profound impression Mr.. CIEvELAND's
foot made under the aristocratic coat
tails OF Lord SACKvILLE. Therefore,
Excuse me-" smiles Sir JULIAN; and
he winks the other eye which hasn't the
mOnocle in it.

ORATORS no TILE FRONT

The orators Of the country are coming
to the front. One of them has got there
already, and under the stimulus of his
triumph the rest are confidently an
nouncing their candidacy. WILLIAM
HENNERY EUsTIs is Minnesota's most
versatile orator. He achieved world
wide reputation at the Republican ma
tlonal convention in June. He did even
more than CHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEw to Sc
cure the nomination of BENJAMIN HAIR
RISON. Until he made his famous
speech for JAMES q. BLAINE the result
was in doubt, but he settled it. The
delegates concluded that the man from
Maine did not need the presidency.
EUSTIs' eulogy was glory enough for
him. Minneapolis has been proud of
its son eyer since that bright day, and it
has madeNhim its mayor. He thoroughly
deserves the honor. An individual
who will sacrifice himself for his
convictions. as he did then, and
wander about the headwaters of the
Mississippi with Father HENNEPIN for
an hour or two while a conventions
lunch is getting cold. ought to receive
some reward from religious and intel
lectual community. Our sister city will
not do its full duty, however, unless it
also takes care of FRANK DAVIS. 1t is
SAID that he wants an Office, and if he
does he should have it. He is more of
an orator than EUsI1s. He is even
more of an orator than Mrs. LEASE,

pelted with rotten eggs. so strong was
their appreciation of her eloquence.

MADRID, Nov ia sad story of the
interruption of wedding festivities is re-
ported from Bejar, a town forty-iye
miles from Salamanca. A young
couple had just beeu married in the
church there, and the wedding party
had gone to restaurant where we'd
ding feast was served. Everybody was
in the highest of spirits. After the
banquet. dancing was begun and every
thing was progressing smoothly, when
suddenly and withoutan instant's warn
ing the walls of the building collapsed.
The entire party together with the en-
ployeS of the restaurant were buried in
the ruins.
A crowd attracted by the noise made
by the falling building quickly gathered
for the work of rescue. From amid the
debris means and heartrending cries for
help could be heard issuing. AS rapidly
as possible, and spurred Oil by the fran
TIC appeals for help, the men threw the
heavy timUers aside They soon came
across the terribly crushed and mangled
body OF one of the wedding guests. 1t
was removed and laid on the sidewalk.
Soon several persons who had been
caught by the falling tlmbers were
taken out alive. but badly injured.
When the wreck was cleared away SUIT

GROVER CLEVELAND will be presi-
dent not alone by decree of a majority
Of votes in the electoral college, not
alone by plurality of the popular vote,
but by positive majority of the popu-
ular vote over all competitors.
This has not happened before in six
teen years. Neither in 1884 nor in 1888
did Mr.. CLEVELAND have majority of
the popularvot He had plurality
both years, and this plurality was larger
by $4,000 votes in 1888, when he was de-
feated, than it had been in 1884, when
he was elected. But still it was only 90,
OH in 1883, while this year it foots up the
magnificent total of 100000 votes. A
popular plurality of over 100000, and a
positive popular majority over all can

returns this year in favor of the Demo
cratic nominee for the presidency.
The effect OF this almost UNPARALLELED

any, presidents have entered upon Of

WON'T COMMIT HIMSELF.

New YORK, Nov. TO- Not the least
interesting subject discussed by leading
Democrats in the confidence of Mr..
Cleveland today was the fact that be-
fore he went to the dinner of the
chamber of commerce Tuesday evening
he was asked to say in his speech that
he had no thought of calling an extra
session Of congress after his Inaugural
ton March next. Mr.. Cleveland took
the suggestion under considera-
ton, and finally announced that
he would not commit himself
publicly by his own word of
mouth in any way concerning the sub
jeet. While personally he has not at
present the slightest notion of calling
an extraordinary session. he told his
friends that he would not wish one week
after his election to commit himself ire
VOcably to such programme.
The announcement that Mr.. Cleveland
contemplates leaving town for a short
vacation has precipitated the arrival of
delegations of Democrats from all parts
of the country. Benjamin L. Gable,
of Chicago, came to town to
night. They will call and con-
graduate Mr.. Cleveland tomorrow.

ney, Hon. B. b. Smalley and Congress

WARM FOR the MINISTRY.
Members of the French Chamber
JumD Onto a PropOsed Law.

PARIS, Nov. 16.-In the chamber this
morning NJ. LOubet and his colleagues
were caught between two storms, and
were tossed about pitiably between the
Conservatives and Moderates on one side
and the Radicals on the other. 1t was
known in advance that the question Of
amending the press law would come up
and the leaders of every party ana fac
ton were in place prepared for the at
tack. NJ. Loubet gave them the desired
opportunity without delay. He pro-
posed to amend the press law. The
amendment contemplated would be a
drag-net affair, by means of which edit
Ors could be handled largely at the dis
erection of the government.
NJ. Loubet explained and defended
the amendment, drawing illustrations
from the excess of SocialiStic, anarchlstlc
and extreme radical press during the
dynamite and labor troubles of the last
few months. He was interrupted fire,
Quently by manifestation of diSapprOyal
and shouted comments. No sooner did
he cease speaking than the attack on
the government was begun by Moder-
ates and Conservatives.
The burden of most of the speeches
was that the ministry was proposing
measures against all eNll WHICH, IL 4tSC4L
encouraged. The timidity of the gov
eminent in treating with the CarmauX
strikers was condemned, and the min
istry was asked what they could expect
but excess when they showed such
weakness in dealing with the CarmauX
lawbreakers. Several attacks were
made upon the ministers for general IN
competency and cowardce.
The radical speakers addressed them
selves directly to the proposed amend
ment. This, they said, was so worded
as to allow the government in its discre-
ton to curtail the freedom of the press
and to hold French editors in the slavish
dependence of the German editors. The
designs of the ministry TO terrorize the
French press were also described as
palpable efforts to bolster falling gov
ernment. The debate was interrupted
by an adjournment until tomorrow.
Throughout the speeches there was
much confusion
