London Pervaded by an Unusually Dense
Fog-Many R0bberies and Accidents.
LONDON, Nov. 12-Dense fogs have been
prevalent in London for week past. At
noon to-day the atmosphere became thicker
than ever. and the blackness of midnight
set In. The gas and electric lights were in
use everywhere In the city, but in the streets
their rays were unable to penetrate the
dense mass OF vapor that hung over the
city so heavily that il appeared to make it's
weight perceptible. The fog penetrated
the most tightly closed houses. and every
where caused feeling Of discomfort. On
the streets. pedestrians stumbled along,
often unwarily getting bad falls by miss
ing their footing in the almost cim-
merriam darkness. The usual roar of traffic
was greatly diminished, foramany careful
draymen and others refused to allow their
horses to be used, fearing accidents. The
traffic that was done was carried on under
great difficulty. and it was only by the ex-
ercise OF the greatest care that accidents
were not more numerous, though some seri-
ous casualties were reported. These con-
listed mostly in run-overs.
The lawless element took advantage of
che occasion, and were everywhere active.
lie was utterly impossible for the police TO
recognize them. and tho dense fog rendered
robbery an easy task. In spite of the pre-
cautions of shop keepers. who have learned
much by experience, the sneak-thieves and
others managed to make many successful
coups. Several cases of highway robbery
have also been reported. In every case the
thieves escaped under cover of the mantle
Of fog.
It is feared that many fatalities will oo-
cur at the docks, which are veritable death
traps in such weather as the present. Year
after year numbers of unfortunate en-
ployes of the dock com Danies, sailors and
others. cropping their way through the fog.
have met their deaths by falling into the
water and drowning. On the London
docks-posts supporting chains have been
erected, and this will prevent loss of life.
But elsewhere no such precautions have
been taken. and it Is thought that later it
will be found that the present thick
weather will add to the number of those
who have fallen into the river and never
been heard from again until their bodies
were picked up by boatmen. The fog will
also prove fatal to many persons suffering
from pulmonary complaints

A NINETEENTH CENTURY FACULTY.
The Development Of the Bridge and Cable.
Car Insttncts.

November Scribner
The existence of a curious faculty was
noted the other day by O newspaper CORE
spondont, in a dissertation on contem-
porary existence as studied in the ex-
ceptionally contemporaneous city of
Chicago. He remarks two develop
ments of it, which he calls the bridge
and cable-car instinct. A vast amount
of daily local travel in Chicago crosses the
Chicago river. But commerce makes con-
slant use of the Chicago river. aud the
travel ACROSS 1t goes over draw-bridg es
The well-known propensity of draw
bridges to be open when you want
to cross them is reported TO have
developed, in some OF the inhabitants of
Chicago, an instinct that admonishes them
when bridge they are approaching is
about to turn, SO that they can hurry and
cross il in time. What has stimulated the
development of the bridge instinct 10 that.
in Chicago you must usually cross q bridge
to catch train. and to be "b;!dged" means
usually to miss the train.
In the same way" says the correspond
dent the man with the cable.car instinct
can tell when q cable car Is coming, even
when the bell does not ring. and so save his
life" Of course there is q suggestion of
humor about these cases. but there
is nothing scientifically amiss about
the developments they attest. The
growth of q cable-car instinct (which in
many America an cities will be trolley car
lnstinct) is likely TO be promoted as othe I
instincts are by the survival of the fittest.
Just as the infant monkey who doesn't
clutch the limb, falls and is killed. so the
American street-babe, whose trolley.ca
instinct Is defective. tails to grow up.

RosEBERRY MAY WED A PRINCESS.
Report that the English Liberal Is Betrothed
to Ono of Wales,s Daughters.

Report that the English Liberal Is Betrothed
to One of waies's Daughters.
LONDON, Nov. 12.-Rumors to the effect
that Lord Roseberry. Secretary of Foreign
Affairs, and the Princess Victoria, the
eldest Of the Prince of Walcs's unmarried
daughters. are betrothed have been dis
cussed in the society papers for some time
psst. While discredited in well-informed
circles no absolute denial has been OBJ
tanned. and consequently added credence is
given them. The fact that Lord Roseberry
attended the Prince of Wales's celebration
of his ffty-irst birthday at Sandringham
Wednesday has been construed as q con-
firmatory indication. If the Princess, whose
name in full is Victoria Alexandris Olga
Mara. marries Lord Roseberry she will be
the second daughter of the Prince to marry
outside of royalty, her elder sister Louise
being now the Duchess of Fife.
Princess Victoria was born in Marlbor-
ough House, London. July 10, 1865. In face
and figure she resembles her mother It is
believed that the union of the daughter of
she heir to the throne with so pronounced
and distinguished Liberal would have
marked political effect. Lord Roseber
though long prominent in public life. is
only forty-tve years old. HIS first wife,
whom ho married in 1878, was the only
daughter aud heiress of baron Mayer
Anseim de Rothschild. Her death. in
November, 1890. was widely lamented- BY
her Lord Roseberry had four children. two
girls and two boys. Lord Roseberry is the
nth Earl of Roseberry. In the house of
Lords he sits as the Baron
of Roseberry. He is Lord Lieu
tenant of Linlithgow. and of Md
lothian and was Lord Rector of the
University Of Aberdeen in 1859. and Lord
Rector of the Edinbnrg University in
In lSs0-l He is o member of the Council
of Education for Scotland, and of the

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 12.-Monday there
will begin in this city q crusade against
various election officials and ward-workers
who are charged with having perpetrated
gross frauds on and before election. A citi-
zens' committee has been formed and $1,000
subscribed to carry out the work. The first
action will be against Recorder of Votes
Owsley, who is charged with having
allowed large numbers of men to register
illegally, and also with having disfran-
chised 1900 voters by removing their names
from the cleo ton register list without W ar
rant of law. The charges are made prin-
cipaliy by Republicans. but the movement
to investiga them and to- punish the
guilty ones is q bipartisan one, being
supported by all parties alike.
