A Fierce Battle,
ANOTABLE PAMPHLET.
Signor Vecchi Points Out Italy
Danger-It Is Upon the Sea.

Signor vecchi Points Out Italy,s
Danger-It Is Upon the Sea.
ROM, Nov. 27-Signor Veoohi, an
eminent writer on maritime subjects, has
published q notable pamphlet entitled
"The Danger is Upon the Sea-" In 1t
he declares that Italy cannot rely upon
England's intervention for her In Eu-
ropean war. England realizes too we'll,
he thinks, the disaster which q naval war
would bring to her commercial interests to
give up the advantages OF neutrality and
close the markets of continental powers to
her steel and coal.
Vecchi believes that In the event of war
between Italy and France the German feet
would remain In the Baltic. The Italian
and Austrian fleets, however, would not
suffice to defend Italy's shores. Therefore
1t would be better to reduce expenditures
for the army and increase ths navy, at the
| at Prspani on the west coast of Sicily.

ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.


An Internal Machine with Perfect
Mechanism Was Sent to Chancellor
Won Caprfvi From a Town in
France.
BERLIN, Nov. 27.-Great excitement was
caused among the attaches of the chancel-
lerie to-day by an attempt to sssaesinste
Chancellor Won Csprivi. A parcel ad-
dressed to the chancellor, supposedly from
Arien, a village in Baden, was received at
the chsncellerie.
Colonel Ebneyer, the chancellor's aide,
began to open the parcel, when he noticed
few grains of gunpowder falling out of
1t.
He Immediately dispatched she parcel to
q police station, with an intimation that 1t
was an Internal machine.
The police placed the parcel in water
and gave 1t a thorough soaking, after
which they examined it. When the wrap
pings were removed q striking cap was
found attached to what proved beyond q
doubt was an Internal machine.
One report states that this cap exploded
while the police were examining the ma
chine. but owing to the contents of the
parcel being saturated with water failed to
cause an explosion.
The Internal machine was sent to Chan
cellor Won Csprivi from Orleans, France
| as was shown by the postmsrk on the box
1t was posted shortly after midnight OF
Sunday. The box was six inches long, two
wide and two deep. A letter in French
accompanying 1t informed the chancellor
that the box contained a sample of re
markable kind of turnip seed. The lette,
was written apparently by an illiterate per
son.
| If Colonel Ebneyer had not seen tn
powder leaking out, the box would have ex
ploded when forced open, as the mechsn
ism was perfectly arranged. No clue t
the identity of the sender of the box ha
been obtained.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The Springfield Republican Says the
Tariff Bill is a Radical Measure and
the Hartford COurant Says That a
Stormy Time IL Ahead.
SPRINGFIRLD, Mass, Nov. 27.-The Re-
publican will say tomorrow:
"Along the main lines 1t is q great and
beneficial reform. In some details we
question whether the democratic revisers
have not gone too far. Its cardinal princi-
pie of free raw materials holds out bright
prospects for our overtaxed industry. But
the cuts on finished products, particularly
on woolens, are too radical for q first step,
although they may CONS within the line of
safety. 1t is radical measure. Granting,
however, that the free listing of 30 many
important free materials makes politically
necessary liberal concessions In the ways
of cuts on finished goods, the work has been
done WELL"
HARTy ORD, Nov. 27.-The Coursnt says
of the tariff bill:
"Those who know the most about manu-
featuring are the strongest in their condem-
nation of the new bill, which, 1t must be
remembered, is drawn up by theorists, and
these theorists are many of the m personally
hostile to the manufacturing interests of
the country. The present is too early to
| figure out in detail the many trritations
and vexations of the bill now just made
| public. One competent critic pronounces
it "a wicked MEASURE 1t is pretty certain
| to make trouble inside the democratic
ranks. There is stormy time ahead, and
L the industries of the United States are
practically put now by the democratic
party where they can do nothing until the
storm is over, with every prospect that af
| ter 1t ia past there will be nothing left of 6
good many of them.
PRov1DENcE, R. l., Nov. 27.-Comment
ing on the tariff bill the Journal will say
editorially to morrow:
"This bill is not of the kind which the
democrats were put into power to pass
At the last national election 1t was cup
posed from the platform on which the
DEMOCRATS asked support that they stood
for the principle of revenue tariff al
opposed to that of q protective tariff, OF
which the republicans founded their claim
of endorsement. When the votes wer'
all cast and counted and 1t was fount
that the democrats had won q great vic
tory on their bold and sharply de
fined tariff platform 1t was further sup
posed that tariffs for protection would b
ended in this country, and a tariff estab
lished for revenue only, az soen as the new
congress got to work. 1t was understood
that the people of the great west had pre-
nounced against protection irrevocsbly an
IL was we'll known, of course, that the
were the controlling element of the popu
| lation.

what soft and between two and three sc
| onds slow. In view of this circumstance
the performance Of the two stations at this
season Of the year may justly be regarded
as remarkable.
At the conclusion of the race Monroe
Salisbury, the owner of Directum, and John
| Kelly, his driver, said to James K Green,
| owner and driver of Saladin, that the PAGER
had given the king of trottsrs the hardest
race of the season. Throughout the four
heats Directum trosted perfectly, and not
breaking once, where Salsdin went into the
air at least once In each heat.
Before the first heat the betting averaged
Directum $40, Sslsdin $50. After saladin
took the frst heat 1t was about 800 to $40
with Directum still the favorite. Preced-
ing the third and fourth heats hackers of
Direotum put up 500 to $50 and s25.
The sum of Sc, 500 was involved In the
match, the Directum people putting ND
81, 900 against s., 500 of Saladin money, and
the association guaranteeing 81, 600 receipts
at the gate. The weather was threatening
but 8, 800 people gathered to see the race.
After scoring thres times the horses were
sent off together for the frat heat. They
kept together until the fret quarter was
passed. Here Sslsdin broke and passing
the half Directum had q lead of five lengths
They went to the thrse-quarter post on
even terms, but upon entering the stretch
Ssladin showed q wonderful burst of speed
and passed under the wire q winner BY O
head amid much enthusiasm.
Second heat the stations race neck and
neck almost to the half mile post From
this point Directum gradually drew away
from Ssladin. The latter went off his
feet near the three quarter post and en-
tered the stretch six lengths behind DIrec-
tum. He closed up fast, however, and
was beaten by less than two lengths.
In the third heat with an even start d.
rectum led by length at the quarter; two
lengths at the half and the same at the
three quarter despite a slight break by
Salsdin. The latter swerved coming up
the stretch and destroyed his chances of
winning the heat. Directum finished three
lengths in advance.
In the fourth heat Directum had q slight
advantage at the start, and was q length
ahead passing the first quarter, increasing
his lead to one and half lengths ct the
half, three at the three quarters and msia-
tanning the lead to the finish, winning
somewhat easily. Saladin broke approach
ing the three q uarters post.
