WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6.

Shipping circles in Great Britain are
interested in a new type of steamer that
has just been designed and patented, and
of which great results are expected as an
ocean carrier. The new steamer is de-
scribed by Liverpool paper as some
thing between an American whaleback
and an ordinary cargo vessel. As her
name suggests, the chiaf feature in the
design is turret deck running the whole
length of the vessel. 1t is claimed that
the new type ensures the important ad-
vantages of larger carrying capacity,
light draft, economic working, simplicity
of construction, and reduced first cost.
These advantages are shortly to be put
to the test, for Newcastle firm of ship.
owners, Messrs. Petersen, Tate and Co.,
have contracted for steamer to be built
after the new design, and she is expected
to be ready in October or November
next. She is to have dead weight carry
ing capacity of 5000 tons on a net regis
ter of only 1900 to 1,250 tons, is to draw
rs feetloaded to have triple-expansion en-
giles capable of driving her at 81 to 10
knots, and to cost e22,5G0. So far new
types of caean going steamers have not
met with such pronounced success as to
give great encouragement to those who
mediate departure from the present
models. But any model that will give
greater carrying capacity with equal
security and less cost must in the end
commend itself,

The Rhode Island campaign closed last
evening with final burst of campaign
oratory that must have been reverberated
with deafening effect within the narrow
walls of the tight little state. There
seems to have been a big campaign ora
tor in almost every little town. Today
the voting will come. The officers to be
elected are governor, lieutenant-govern-
or, secretary of state, attorney general,
state treasurer and members of the two
branches of the legislature. There are
four tickets in the field, Republican,
Democratic, Prohibition and Labor. D.
Russell Brown of Providence, is the
Republican candidate for governor, VIM.

Liverpool papers of recent date give
full reports of an investigation now go
ing on before an Imperial Labor commits
sion. One OF the branches of industry
recently investigated is the nail trade, in
which the labor of women is employed
to large extent. Some of the revela-
tions made by this investigation are sur
prising and shocking Nail-making is a
work too hard for women at best; but
when there is the added condition of I'M
sanitary surroundings, it becomes simply
death-dealing. One witness testified
that the female nailmakers in summer
time worked in a semi-nude state.
They took. their infants to the
workshops in boxes, and covered them
with cloths to protect them from the
flying sparks. The children were, how
ever, frequently burned, and recently
there was case reported in the news
papers where spark had penetrated an
infants eye and caused its death. The
hand hammer used by women weighed
from to 24lbs., and the Oliver hammer,
which had to be worked with the feet,
weighed from 10 to 20 lbs., and entailed
great physical labor. The women in the
domestic workshops had to carry their
bundles of iron, Sc lbs. in weight, from
the warehouse on their heads or shoul-
ders, for distance Of half mile. 1t
was no uncommon sight to see woman
thus burdened sucking a babe at the
same time 1t is to the credit of the
English government that it is making
searching investigation of these condi-
tions of labor, with the intention of
remedying them by legislation if posi-

PARIS, March 26.-The police have ar
rested another notorious Anarchist,
friend of Ravsch ol, the man who is sus-
pected of being the author of the Boule-
ward St. German dynamite outrage. He
made a desperate resistance, but was
finally overcome by superior force.
twenty-five Anarchists are now
in custody for completely in the
outrages that have recently occurred IN
this city. A number of Anarchists at
st. Denis, town five and bali miles
north of Paris, who were returning
from the funeral of comrade, formed
in procession and marched along way
ing red flags and acting generally in
most disorderlv manner. The police
ordered them to disperse, but they
refused to do SO, and it was only
after a scrimmage that the gen.
d'armes succeeded in breaking up
their ranks and scattering them. The
government has decided to expel all
Anarchists from France. Some of the
ambassadors in France have furnished
M. Ribot, the foreign minister, with a
list Of their countrymen in Paris who
are suspected of being Anarchists.

Gen. Escobedo Tells the Secret History Of
the Fall of Queretaro.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 25.-Gen.
Mariana Escobedo, the greatest of the
living Mexican generals, and who was
commander-in-chiet of the national
army during the French invasion and
during Maximilian's short reign, has ar
rived here. The General is now living
in retirement on his hacienda
in Guanajuato, Mexico. 1t has
been charged, and so stated
in history, that the fall of Queretaro
was due to treacherv on the part Of Col.
Miguel Lopez, of Maximilian's staff,
who was generally supposed TO have
delivered up the stronghold for trail
tors reward. Gen. Escobedo cleared
up that error. He says
"For long term of years my mouth
has been sealed by promise which I
held sacred, but the discovery Of au-
thentic letters from Macmillan has re-
vealed the truth through no fault of
mine, and released me accidentally from
the pledge / had taken as the last
favor on earth to q doomed man.

Maximilian's. He was sent to me at
dead of night, and in the deepest Sc

the surrender of Queretaro, providing
he, the Emperor, was allowed to fee
the country in safety. This / could
not and would not grant, and de-
manded an unconditional surrender.
Miguel Lopez then told me in
Maximilian's name that the sur
render of Queretaro would be
made on the morrow, but asked
me in Maximilian's name, and as a last
and signal favor to the fated Prince,
never to reveal the proposition made
by Macmillan to surrender his army in
exchange for his freedom, and thus
save his name from the shame which
would inevitably attach to it if his
reasonable intent were known to the
world. This is how it CHANGED that
Col. Lopez has borne in silence for
many years the brand of infamy as the
last act of heroic devotion to the mem
ory of Maximilian."

Emp eror William Wuhdraws the Educs-
tional Bill.
BERLIN, March 29.-The landtag has
not witnessed in many years such an
exciting scene as that of to-day, when
the new Prussian premier announced
that the primary education bill had
been abandoned. Won Gutenberg was
received on his first appearance
as head of the Prussian min
istry with signs of general re-
spect. The premier announced in clear
and unequivocal language that the gov
eminent had decided to abandon the
school bill. The statement had an cleo
trio effect. Everybody had expected
that the education bill would be post
poped indefinitely, but the declaration
that it had been abandoned was almost
a universal surprise. The National
Liberals were delighted; the ultramon-
tanes could not conceal their anger.
They had not anticipated such a straight
blow from tie government, and a storm
of misses greeted the premier's an
nouncement. The National Liberals
cheered loudly, and both parties got so
excited for time that it seemed as if
some might be provoked to personal
violence. The premier took everything
calmly and waited until the excitement
had quoted down. Then he proceeded
with other business.
The air is flied with reports of in
tending designations of officials. One
report current in parliamentary circles
Is that DIR. Won B9tticher, secretary of
the Imperial Home Office and repre-
sentative of the chancellor, is about to
resign the posts held by him in order to
become governor of Hesse- Nassau. DR..
M. Quit, minister of finance, who mad
an audience with the Emperor yester-
day. has been designated the future
vlce-presldent Of the Prussian ministry.

lister Won B9tticher will remain at his
post, the Emperor refusing to accept his

rest on the charge Of walking the
streets with a university man" has ex-
cited widespread interest. Miss Hop
kins resumed her testimony this morn
ing. She denied most emphatically that
she had ever held improper relations
with any man or had ever associated
with bad women. She had been en-
gagged to be married for two years.
Upon the conclusion of Miss Hopkins
testimony, which was the only evidence
offered in support of her claim for dam
ages, the defense called the university
constable, man named Mason, who
had arrested her. He testified against
her character. The jury in short time
returned a verdict against Miss Hop
kins. The verdict caused great surprise
among the friends of the girl. There is
no doubt that the case will be appealed.
