PARLIAMENT OPENED.
A Bill Presented Which Extends the Rights
of Women Voters.

London, November 2.-The opening of
Parliament today attracted little atten-
tiou. All the customary formalities
were complied with, though few mem
bers were present at the time fixed for
the opening of the House. The Speaker
took the chair at o'clock, and the
House at once settled down to business.
Rt Hon. Henry Fowler, president of
the local government board, moved the
second reading of the parish councils
bill. This bill proposes to form in rural
parishes having population of 800 and
upward, council to be annually elected
by ballot, by men aud women having the
right to vote for members of the county
council. These parish councils are to
consist of not less than five nor more
than fifteen members. They are to take
over all the existing powers of the ves-
tries, excepting as regard church affairs
and church charities, and they are to
have contaol of parish property, land al
lotments, roads, water supply, local
watching and lighting and sanitation
generally, and they are to have charge of
the compulsory purchase of land under
the sanction of 1.-THE local government
board. In urban districts, as we'll as ru-
raj districts, the bill abolishes electoral
disqualiications on the ground of sex.
The administration of the poor law is to
remain under the jurisdiction of boards
of guardians, as it is now, but the boards
are to be elected under the new fran
chise.

TREMBLING WITH FEAR.
The Assassin of Carter Harrison Brought
Into Court.

Chicago, November 2. Patrick Eugene
Joseph Prendergast, the murderer of
Mayor Harrison, was arraigned in Judge
Horizons Court today. The assassin was
SO nervous when led sup to the bar of
justice that he almost collapsed. The
court room was crowded, and as the
assassin entered in charge of Jailor
Morris and court bailiff. everyone
sprang to his feet The suddenness of
this frightened the prisoner, and he
shrank closer to Jailor Morris, who had
hold on his left arm and pushed the man
forward. When asked whether he was
guilty OF not, Prendergast in a voice
scarcely audible, replied "Not guilty"
"Have you an attorneys" asked Judge
Horton.
"No," answered the assassin, "but /
expect to get one.n
well, he is entitled to continuance
until he secures COUNSEL" remarked the
Judge. "If he does not get lawyer 1
shall have to appoint some one to defend
him. You may take him back to Jail,
Mr.. Sheriff" +"
Jailor Morris grasped Prendergast by
the arm, aud followed by bailiff, led
the prisoner back to his cell.

The News in Madrid.

Madrid. November 2.-Advices from
Melilla show that yesterday the Span
iards detected eleven Riffian spies in the
vicinity of the forts. A company of SOL
diers volunteered to make sally and at
tempt to capture them. The troops
made sortie, and the spies took to their
heels, lodging among the rocks. and
thus escaping the shots fired at them.
Three of the spies stumbled, and before
they could get to their feet again they
were made prisoners.
The ministerial newspapers here cen
sure the French press for attacking Eng
land in connection with the troubles at
Morocco. The Franch papers have more
than limited that the ,Riffians have been
melted to their attacks upon the Span

Spanish papers is probably due not to
love of England, but to the fear that the
French attacks will prejudice Spain's po-

Utterances on Spanish Troubles.
Paris, November "A patriotic mass
meeting was held in Marseilles last night
at which M. Deloncie, member of the
Chamber of Deputies, and well known
hater of England, presided. The meet
ing adopted an address for presentation
to the Spanish minister in Paris, sympa-
thizing with the Spaniards on the re-
verses they have met with at Melilla, and
recalling the heroism of Spain in connec-
tion with the Caroline Islands dispute,
which, the address says, amazed the
world. The address adds that in this
dispute the bravery of the Spanish gov
eminent resulted in the defeat of the
German scheme to get possession of
those islands.
1t further declared that it was the con-
viction of those asse mbled at the meet
ing that the concentrating of an English
naval squadron at Gibraltar will not pre-
vent the sons of the Cid from fulfilling
their traditional mission in Africa, and
halls beforehand the glorious successes
which the valiant Spanish army and navy
will win opposite Gibraltar.

BURNED AT SEA.
Perhaps Nearly Fifty People We're
Lost With the Ship.
EXPLOSION ON A NEW YORK AND
CUBA MAIL STEAMER.

First Reports Had 1t that Sixty Were
Lost-Later Estimates Reduced This to
Perhaps Forty-Five-Wen Disciplined
Sailors and Cool Headed Passengers
Kept the Death List from Being Larger
Twenty Eight Saved.
Havana, November 2s=-Steamer CITY of
Alexandria, Matanzas for New York.
with alcohol, was wrecked by an ex-
plosion off Cojimar at a. m. yesterday
and totally burned. 1t is believed that
"a or 35 persons were drowned, among
them being German cabin passenger.
The steamer was commanded by Capt.
Hosmann. The City of Alexandria was
one of the fastest and largest of the
American ships employed in the West
India trade. She was an iron screw
steamer of 24S0 tons burdens. 3O7 feet
long, 3S feet inches beam and 26 feet
inches depth of hold.
Early this morning a small boat. in
which were the second officer and II
other persons from the City Of Alexan-
dra, entered the harbor here and report
ed the loss of the steamer. They state
that an explosion occurred on board the
steamer and that shortly afterward she
was burning fiercely The cause of the
explosion is unknown. The fire gained
such headway that Capt Hofmann saw
it would be impossible to save the vessel
and orders were given to abandon the
ship. The steamer had 400 hogsheads of
rum on board, and this when it caught
fire caused immense masses of flame to
ascend from the hatchways, the matches
having been blown Off
There was great xcitement among the
passengers and crew, but the officers soon
succeeded In restoring a sem blance of
sounded on the ship the crew went to
their fire stations and the stewards began
to carry provisions to the boats The
more cool headed among the passengers
remembered the notice which was in
every stateroom of the ship, calling upon
Them In case Of fire or collision to report
at certain lifeboat designated in the
notice The passengers at once pro-
ceeded to the boats and entered them.
There was comparatively little sea run
ming, and but little difficulty was expert
enced in lowering away the boats when
the deep toned bell forward tolled the
signal, abandon the Ship
The scene of the burning of the steamer
was only % miles from Havana, and the
officers in command of the several boats
the captain, first officer, purser and
chief engineer-had little fear of not
reaching that port or some other place
along the coast. In the first moment of
terror some of the passengers are said to
have jumped into the sea, preferring
drowning to being burned to death
Those who arrived here this morning
stated that sixty persons were drowned
but this is scarcely credited, as it ii
knownnow that many of the crew and
passengers have reached Bacc.rannao.
AS soon as the news of the disaster
reached here a mum ber of tugs were sent
to the scene of the burning of the
steamer to render whatever assistance
they could. Two of these tugs returned
this afternoon bringing nineteen surviv-
ors from the vessel. The explosion oc-
CURED late yesterday afternoon, and tho
shin, was left burning short time after
ward.

DIREcTUM's GREAT RACE.
Mascot Didn't Live Up to His Name at
Fleetwood Ten Mile Record Broken.

New York, November 2.-The match
race between the two crack champions
Directum and Mascot for purse of $4,000
was trotted today over the New York
Driving Clubs track at Fleetwood, and
resulted in an easy victory for Directum.
The track was in excellent condition.
Kelly drew the pole for Directum and
after two preliminary scores, the pair
got away with splendid start. Seven
teen seconds afterwards Mascot made
bad break. When the quarter pole was
reached gap of two lengths was between
the two horses. Coming to the half mile,
Mascot let out link and soon Tapped
Dlrectum but coming up the hill Mascot
again broke, and Directum forged
ahead, taking lead of four lengths.
When the stallion came into the home
stretch, Kelly simply urged the horse
along and won easily by length. In the
second heat, on coming to the first
quarter, Directum had gained a length.
On coming to the half mile pole, Mascot
had lappedi Drectum. Just as soon as the
horses reached the hill the pace began
to tell and Mascot again broke. Directun
then drew away, gaining lead at the
three-quarter pole of four lengths Com
ing up the home stretch, Mascot increased
the pace, but could not reach the black
horse, Directum winning by 21-2
lengths. In the third heat the contest
was close down the lower stretch, where,
for short distance, .Directum showed a
trife in front. Around the lower turn
they were still together and at the half
they continued Tapped. AS they mounted
the hill, Mascot fell away and seemed
not able to hold the strain, for Directum
had lead of half a length. Directum at
the turn in the stretch, came away with
out effort, winning BY a length. The
time was, 2.1O IA, 2.07 3-4, 2.0S 3-4.
Following this event was a successful
attempt by LA. Burke's Pascel to break
the ten mile record of 81 % IA. Pascel
clipped LOS IA off the old record. After
he had gone seven miles, he was bleeding
badly out of the mouth. The following
was the time for the various miles: 2.S3
1-2, 5.O4 1-2, 7.37, 1913, 1851, IA, 1881
Ia, 18. 10 IA, 20. 40 3-4, %. 80 1-2, 2615.

1t has been declared prolonged until

that has remained loyal to the govern

their appearance there. Admiral Mello
has issued orders to the commander of
the Republ to make a final effort to
reduce the Tiradentes, and to have its
officers and men join the insurgents.
Failing in this, the Republics is ordered
to open her batteries and reduce the

The Times prints the following cable
dispatch from Lisbon: Supplies of
money, provisions, ammunition, arms
and coal, sent to the Brazilian insurgents
from Europe, will reach Rio Janeiro
within few days. Other war material,
including Krupp guns, have been
bought, to be shipped to the insurgents
this week. Many former Brazilians, now
residents in Spain, and for that matter,
in several other European countries, are
thus expressing their sympathy with
Mello and his insurgent band in SUBJ
stantial manner. There are, scattered
through the leading cities of Spain and
France, members OF the old Monarchicai
party, who have considerable wealth at
their immediate command. They were
among the mum ber who left their country
when Dom Pedro was dethroned and
have refused to return and become citi-
zens of the republic. Now that there is
an opportunity they are arraying them
selves against the President.
They have recently been contributing
considerable sums of money to the sup
port of Admiral Mello This has been
invested in such things as the insurgents

.0ueen Dess. Gentlemen,

The fair Elizabeth was coQuettish and
penurious. Money. was hard to come by,
and the courtiers' outgoings were enor-
nous when they lndulged in many changes
of richly fancied raiment and were as par
tial to jewelry as any petite maitresse. Raj
eigh, who was the best type of that class,
was lavish in his personal expenses even in
his maturer years, and on his last unfor-
tunate voyage the state cabins of the COM
modore were marvels of decorative uphol-
stery.
1t was Devon that took the lead in those
days, and there were his half brothers, the
Gilberts, the Grenvilles, the Stuckeleys
and many another These men may be
said to have been courtiers before all, but
they were courtiers of peculiar and origi-
nal stamp. They were as different as pos
sible, for example, from the mignons of
Henry III of France, whose courage only
showed itself in sanguinary dueling, and
who never went campaigning in Flanders
or Spain unless they could take their luxu-
ries along with them.
The Englishfnen, although as frivolous
in their fashion and as effeminate in their
attire when at Greenwich or the Tower,
were animated to fanaticism by the spirit
of loyal chivalry. They were ready for long
exile at sign from the queen, and to sail
to the other side of the world. They were
willing to exchange their lives of voluptrl-
GUS Incidence for the cramped quarters, the
rough living and the dreary routine which
were then the lot of the sea adventurer.--

The Perils of svmnathv.

There was a we'll fed, prosperous looking
woman of strident voice on one of the sub
urban trains the other morning, and
above its roar and rattle her accents could
be distinguished telling the story of the
friend who was visiting her.
"Your emember Lou, of course" she said.
"Well, she's been staying with me since
last week. And, you know, the funniest
thing has happened. Lou-that's her name
always had q way of adopting other peo-
ple's habits awfully easily. Adaptability,
l suppose, some people call it. For in
stance, it, she was with gay crowd she
was gay, and with sober people she was
sober. She hadn't been in our house three
days before she got to talking as loud as if
some one was deaf. And when spoke to
her about it--half joking, you know-she
said she had supposed from my talking so
loud that Robert was deaf, and SO she had
spoken above her ordinary tone Now,
what I'd like to know, Kate, is if my voice
is unusually loud. Tell me the truth"
The car listened breathlessly. When
Kate did the kind hearted thing, sacrificing
her desire to be honest in her instinct to be
kindly, and said that she had never
thought 80, the lady with the voice said
decidedly:
"Therel I was sure of It'll Something's
the matter with Lou, and / shall advise her
to consult an aurist. Chicago Times.
