Administration Reported To Be Very
Much Down on Thurston.

New York, November pa Washing
ton despatch to this mornings Sun says !:
The reply of Minister Thurston to some
of the more fragrant mis-statements con-
tanned in the Blount report, and his bold
accusations of untruthfulnessI against
the ex-commissioner have given great Of
fence to certain officials of the admins
tration who are supposed to represent
the views of the President and Secretary
Of State. The indignation of these gem
tlemen is so great that they do not hesi-
tate to intimate that Mr.. Thurstoh's
passports will be returned by the Presi-
dent. He is accused of violating ali
known rules of diplomatic etiquette, and
there is loud demand from the State
Department clique for his punishment.
1t cannot be learned tonight what steps
the administration proposes to take, if
any, to discipline the plain-spoken repre-
sentative cf the Provisional Government.

REsoRTED TO THE CODE.
suitors. for Squire Farreps Daughter
Hacked Nearly to Pieces.

Napoleon, O., November 22.-A desper-
ate duel took place near this place on
Saturday between Charles Davis and
Leonard Forsythe, aged 90 and "a years
respectively. Swords were used and
later as they were broken the men used
their jack-knives. The young men were
rivals for the hand of Miss Margaret
Farrel, daughter of wealthy Squire
Farrel. Both were almost literally cut to
pieces, and were unconscious when
found. Fotsythe, in addition to NUM-
ber of hacks and cuts was run through
the lower part of the left lung. While
there is some hope for his rivals re-
covery, the doctors express little hope
for Forsythe.
Davis was able to tell the story of the
fight He says they met by agreement
in the woods, at 5so' 'clock and fought by
lantern light. shat 1hey thrust and
parried, and theSfght had progressed for
a quarter of an hour, when. he disarmed
r 'orsythe by breaking his sword. He
begged Forsythe to desist but he was so
desperate that he pulled out his jack
knife and rushed at Davis with fury.
II could have killed him easily" said
Davis but did not care to take an un-
fair advantage of him. He could not
reach me with his knife but his
assaults were so vicious was compelled
in self-defense to run him through with
my blade
Miss Farrell is prostrated with grief
over the terrible affair.

Mr.. Blaine and Hawaii.

New York, November 22.-Concerning
the passage in Commissioner Blount' S
report referring to conversation be-
tween Secretary Tracy and Admiral
Skerrett, Mr.. Tracy says:
II do not think used the term AN
mex in anything said to him. What 1
said was that the United States desired
closer relations with Hawaii, but that the
Hawaiians themselves must bring it
about. l expressly sad that we were not
to urge them to any closer relations, that
they must be the final judges.
0As have already said in print, Ha-
waiian matters were often subject of
discussion between Mr.. Blaine and my
self, on account of the cession of the
Pearl River Harbor to the United States
as coaling station. In our talks Mr..
Blaine never suggested such thing as
annexation. A new treaty with Hawaii
was mentioned. Mr.. Blaine thought
that our relations with that government
should be extended, and he mentioned
TWO features for new treaty. He sug-
gested that Hawaii, in its foreign rela-
tions, should act through our government
and that the United States should have
the right to land marines from its war
ships to preserve peace on the island in
time of trouble. These two suggestions
were the nearest Mr.. Blaine ever came to
stating anything like belief in future
annexation of the islands to the United
States.''

HE READ DIME NOVELS
But More Remarkable Stories Are Those
Told of Abner Thorne. p

Paris, Me-, November %. Remarkable
stories are told concerning A bner Thorne,
the young man under arrest here for the
burglary of Newell and Hutchinson's s
store, and who is suspected also of being
the man who shot young Whitman.
Thorne has been great student of
yellow covered. fiction. The story of his
actions is more interesting than any
dime novel, He was an adept at leaving
and entering buildings. He could leave
his own house SO quietly by dropping
from window to shed roof that he did
this all one winter and attended dancing
school without the familys knowledge,
apparently going to bed and then slip
ping out and walking to the village. He
had in garrett "a secret drawer filed
with tools. In order to get into building,
he had keys by which he could enter
nearly every building on Paris Hill,. in
cluding the churches, clear to their
towers the academy, the court house, the
post office, Atwood & Forbes's Office,
places. He also had keys admitting him
to the safe owned by the latter firm and
to the inner money drawers of the same
How he obtained his patterns for these
keys is mystery OF course it is not as
yet proven that Abner did all the enter
ing but no ordinary burglar certainly
did it. The post Office and stores have
beea repeatedly entered and small sums
OF money taken. In carrying on his
various schemes, it is alleged that
Thorne wrote letters in the stores he
entered and then put them in the post
office boxes of the people to whom they

STORIES OF THE STORM.
Loss Of Life Enormous But Lessened Some.
what by Hardy Coastguardsmen.

London, November 22.-During the re-
cent storm off the English coast, 200
lives were saved by the life saving crews.
Stories of ishipwreck and loss of life con-
tinue to be. received here. 1t is impossi-
BILE to even approximately estimate the
number of persons who met death in the
great Storm There is no doubt it is very
large. A despatch from Boston, Lincoln
shire, states that the British ship Rollo,
for Buenos Ayres, was picked up derelict
at sea and towed to that port. She was
dismantled and her boats gone. Her
decks gave evidence of the rough weather
through which she passed. Her salvors
found a dead body on the ship. 1t is
thought the crew abandoned the vessel
in SMALL bats and were lost. The German
bark Hellas foundered off Ymuiden.
Part of her crew were saved The others,
including the captain, are missing.

LOOKS WELL FOR TRADE.
The Auction Sale of Mill Products in
New York

New York, November 22. The annual
auction sale of cotton goods for Bliss,
Fabyan & Co., was held today at the
auction rooms of Wilmerding, Morris
and Mitchell, GA White street. These
sales are held each year for the purpose
OF feeling the trade of the country. Last
year $4,000 packages were Sold This year
only 10000 were offered. The reason for
this, Col. Bliss said, was that the most
of the large mills had only been running
on half time for long time. The auc-
tion rooms were crowded and the bidding
the most spirited that ever character
lied these sales. All the large firms
from all over the country were repre-
sented. The goods were sold on four
mouths, the bills being dated March /.
The stock comprised bleached and un-
bleached Peperel1 sheeting of all widths,
and Turkey red damask; Otis and
Columbian blue denims and Warwick
fancy and staple ginghams; Warren cot
tonades,- tickings and sateens. The ten
quarter blcached sheetings brought from
II Ia to IL 1-2 cents or about per cent
widths, especially the seven quarter
sheetings sold cheaper in proportion.
The Otis and Columbian denims, of
which there was great variety, sold
close to AGENTS prices. The dress styles
Of Warwick fancy ginghams sold from

New York, November pa decided
improvement marked the situation on the
Lehigh Valley road today. Accepting
the movement of the passenger trains
over the road at this end as an indication
of the way matters were shaping them
selves, the road had gained a distinct
victory over the strikers as compared
with yesterday. All but one or two of
the local trains on the Lehigh were start
ed away behind time yesterday, and the
day before for that matter. Some trains
were abandoned, and it was about all
that the officers of the company could do
to keep any trains moving at all. Not a
particle of freight was moved. This
morning there was a change. and big
one, too, which made itself manifest
when the moment came for starting out
the first three trains that go over the
road every day. The crews were on
hand, and the trains were very little be-
hindhand. The incoming trains, too, did
better than before.
Mauch Chunk, November 22.-Four

Buffalo, November 22.-The freight
blockade grows worse, and the passenger
service. which has hitherto not been in

tie up everything except the mail.
Jersey City, N. j., November 22.-The
Lehigh Valley officials believe they have
broken the backbone Of the strike at the
eastern end of their road. They moved
a freight train of 20 cars this afternoon.
All the passenger trains today started on
schedule time.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, November 22.-At a
meeting of the strikers today the men
resolved not to return to work. The

tions point to a prolonged lockout.

thousand coal workers in this region are
