A SULTAN'S AM0URS.
Breach of Promise Suit Against
Him Thrown Out of Court,
Bu Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, Nov. 4, 1898 The case of
Migbell vs.. Baker came up TODAY for
argument before Justice Sir Alfred Willis
Queens Bench Division Of Her Maiesty's
High Court of Justice. Behind the
commonplace title OF the suit there IS
Is known in this country as Mr..
Albert Baker. is no less a persons
age than the Sultan of Johore. Tns
plaintiff Is Miss Jennie Migbeli. hand
some young lady of Brighton, who has
sued the Sultan for breach of promise OF
marriage: Mr.. George Wallace, in
sBructed by Mr.. Turner. appeared for the
structed by Messrs Colger & Colysr, for
tine plaintiff.
When the action was first brought Mr..
Wallace took the objection that the Sui
tan of Johore was ruling monarch, aud
could NOT. therefore. be sued In this
country. Mr.. White said that inasmuch
as the defendant bad lived In this coun-
try privately as Mr.. Albert Baker, he had
disentitled himself, aud also that the Sui
ta1 would come under the authority of
the Empress of India.
A RULING SOVEREIGN.
Today Mr.. Finlay appeared for the
Sultan He moved that an order issued
Ll0 cOuFb lOE q buUSliIuG6 VIII De SET
aside. He read q letter from the Colonial
Office stating that without doubt the
Sultan of Johore was an Independent
ruling sovereign. Mr.. FinIay argued
that the court had no Jurisdiction In the
case.
! Mr.. White, for the plaintiff. read an
Ia ffidavit made by Miss Migbell stating
}xhaE she knew the Sultan as Albert
js3aker. When she was residing at house
efu Gor1ng. at his request she assumed the
name of Baker in communicating with
him. After she was aware of his identity
, he ;old her he wish to preserve his incog-
,nito by command of the Queen. She did
not know that he was the Sultan of
Johore until October, 1892. and this PROM
ise of marriage Was made In that year
The court decided that 1t had no jurls-
diction ard the case fell to the ground.
THE SULTAN OF JoHoRE.
The Sultan of Johofe was elevated from
the rank OF Maharaj III to that OF Sultan
some years ago in recognition of the firm
unwavering friendship which he had
always given to the English name ana
rule. Among his many cultivated tastes
be Possesses love for gardening. Some-
thing above the medium height. very
dark in complexion, with long white
moustache, he has always mains
nified gentleman He usually dresses
In English clothes OF the orthodox
English CUT and wears black cloth cap
in the front of whicn flashes and scintil-
lates magnificent afgrette of diamonds.
Almost every finger is adorned with
riugs--two or more on each--of the same
precious stone Apart from this there is
no trace OF barbaric splendor about his
HIgbness.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTS
Judge Lippineott Thinks the
Street and Water Boards
Doings Should Be Re-
viewed.
The Height of the Trolley Poles an
lssue-Decision in the CertiOr-
ari Application on
Monday.

Charles Thompson of the firm of Dick
inson, Thompson & McMasters and
Charles L. Corbin OF Corbin & Collius
today appealed to Judge Lippincott for
q writ of certiorari to review :ihe pro.
ceedirgs OF the Street and Water Board
in grating an ordinance 10 the Con.
solidated Traction Company The ap'
plicatton was made on behalf of the
Central Elevated Transit Company and
Garrstt Van Horn.
DEFECTS OF THE ORDINANCE.
The application was based principally
on alleged defects In the ordinance and
tina claim was made that the two acts
under which the ordinance was obtained
are unconstitutional. These acts are,
first, the Consolidated Traction Company
Act. aud second. the act which gives the
company the right TO place poles in the
street.
A number OF so-cslled defects In the
ordinance itself were also set forth, all of
purely technical character.
HIGH POLES.
The actual reason why this application
for writ Of certiorari was made is that
at a point where the Consolidated Trac-
lion Cnmpany's tracks cross the Cen
trail Elevated Transit Company's
ght of way the poles which
support the electric wires of the former
company are nineteen feet high. while
the ordinance granted the Central Eleva-
lei Company provides a clearance of
seventeen feet. thing impossible with
nineteen feet poles along the pathway.
Corporation Counsel Edwards opposed
tie granting of the writ on the behalf of
the city, aud James B. vredenburgh
cout nded for the Consolidated Company
that the writ should not be.
COUNSEL WILL SUBMIT BRIEFS.
Judge Lipplncott was incIined to the
belief that the ordinance should be
reviewed, but said he would like counsel
to submit briefs aud afIidsvios Monday
aud soon afterward he would render his
decision.
The lawyers TO each part of the suit
agreed that If a writ of certi0rari
was granted it should not act as q ssay.
aud prevent ths Consolidated Company
from continuing its work of laying
tracks. because the Consolidated Com
panY will not lay tracks at the point in
question before the Supreme Court could
determine The writ.

Loss of Life Enormous.

of the disaster that has befallen this city
has rendered the people helpless. It is
impossible to obtain connected story
from any of the eye witnesses of the ex-
plosion. Those who saw IL and lived are
in such state OF excitement that they
can make only the widest kind Of state
ments.
There is no question, however, that
aside from the mouey loss entailed by the
destruction of the houses. Quays aud
shipping, it is one of the most appalling
disasters that has occurred in Spain or
elsewhere in Europe In rec ent years, The
loss OF life was simply emo rmous. Some
of the estimates place the number OF

will be found to be less, but 1t can be

aud people are SO helpless that
little attempt is being made TO extricate

but their task Is being performed 10

come across masses OF human flesh, the
sight of which k1ae made them sick, and
they hesitate to push their werk with auy

A DYNAMITE HORROR.
Steamship Vole, Loaded
with the Explosive,
Caught Fire.
SPANISH TOWN IN FLAMES
The Governor and Many others
Reported Killed-Appeal to
Outsiders for Help.
BIZ Cable to the United Press.

MADRID, Nov. 4, 1S93.-A most start.
ling message was received late last night
from small village near the city Of
Santauder, capital of the Province of
that name, and situated a little over two
hundred miles from this city.
The message announced a terrific ex-
plosion of dynamite, which had killed
the Governor of the Province and a large
number of people, including several Of
the leading citizens. and which had also
set fire to the city aud caused immense
damage on all sides.
Further particulars were unobtainabla
last night. owing to the fact that all the
telegraph wires in the vicinity of San
tander had been blown down by the ex-
plosion.
The news which reaches hers this
NOR ming is to the effect that steamship,
believed to be the steamer Vole, B lit ish.
OF $40 tons. which recently reached San
tanda from Cardiff. caught fire yesterday
evening.
The officials of Sanuander sent all the
Fire Department to the scene, and the
Governor OF the province. the chief muni-
cipai officers ana many Of the leading ciG>
lzens OF the town, went to superintend
the efforts to su bdue the fire on the Vole,
and thus avert peril to other shipping
Su denly there were cries of alarm
from those working ABOUT the Vole and
the alarming news spread with rapidiJy
through the crew chat the ship was load
ed with dynamite.
THE EXPLOSION.
Before the crowd had time to rush
backward there was dull roar followed
by fearful burst of flame and deaf
ening explosion which blew. the quay
into fragments, set fire to a humber Of
adjacent houses and smashed the
windows in every house for miles around.
The Governor, however, has not been
seen since the explosion occurred, and
there seems little or no doubt that he met
death with the others who were upon the
wharf moment before the dynamite
blew the ship and wharf into splinters.
The merchants were so daZsd by the
explosion and by the rapid spread of the
flames from house to house. that for q
long time they appeared to be utterly
unable to make an attempt to check the
fire. s-s
from village near Santander, the flames
were still eating up house after house,
and threatening the destruction of the
entire city.
All towns and villages in the neigh
borhood of Sautsnder have sent their
fire engines to the scene.
The town of Ssntander is situated on
headland aud has large port In the
Bay Of Biscav. II is the terminus of a
railway from this city.
The quay destroyed is believed TO be
the Muelle. which is generally piled with
cotton bales. sugar hogsheads and other
merchandise, aud is q graf place for
loading and unloading vessels from Eng.
land and Norway.
APPEAL FOR HELP.
kilograms have been sent TO Valencia,
BurRos and Talladolid, asking that en-
Rines be sent on special trains to fight the
fire.
The Volo belonged to the Vasco de
Andaluza Company.
