AUSTRIA DON'T WANT JUDD.
The Consul General objeotsd to Because
He Il a Hebrew

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Cable messages
from Vienna stating that the anti-Semitic
organizations and other bodies in that city
are vigorously protesting against the re-
ception Of Mr.. Max Judd, of Missouri,
Hebrew citizen of the United States and
native of Austria, nominated and con-
brmed AS consul general to Vienna, have
necessarily recalled the Kelley incident of
Mr.. Clevcland's previous administration
In connection with that same country.
Mr.. Anthony NJ. Kelley, a citizen of
Richmond, Va, was first selected by Presi-
dent Cleveland and his secretary of state,
Mr.. Bayard, as minister to Italy, but was
declared persona non grata by the king Of
Italy on account of very strong opinions
he had publicly expressed as to the over
throw OF the temporal power of the pope
by the Italian government.
Mr.. Kelley was then nominated as min
lister to Austria. Here another and equally
fatal objection was encount tered sin conse-
quence of the fact that his wife was n
Jewess." Mr.. Bayard replied that "the
United States could not constitutionally
admit, consider or discuss any supposed
disqualification of its officers based upon
religion" The upshot of the whole affair
was that Mr.. Kelley was shunted off to
Egypt as one of the judges of the inter
national court there, which position he
still retains, that the Austrian minister in
Washington was given indefinite leave Of
absence, and that the United States did
not appoint another minister to Austria
until the government of that country itself
made the first advances more than twalvs
months afterwards.

THE FRENCH CABINET.
A New Ministry Formed by Felix Jules
Meline,

PARIS, April 3.-Suppressed excitement
prevails ameng all the political groups
an considerable anxiety as to what will
be the outcome Of the crisis. The rumors
as to who President Carnot would select
for the task of forming new ministry
were set ut rest by the announcement that
the president had requested NJ. Meline, the
Opportunist, to undertake the formation
of cabinet.
NJ. Meline, after consultation with
President Carnot, selected the following
cabinet: Felix Jules Meline. premier and
minister Of commerce; NJ Charles Dupuy,
minister of the interior; M. Jacques Ira
rieux, minister of finance; NJ Eugene
Spuller, minister Of education; NJ. Francois
sVette, minister of public work; Admiral
Rieunnier, minister of marine and of the
colonies; NJ. Albert Viger, minister of az
riculture; General DUizillon, minister of
war; NJ. Develle, minister of foreign af-
fairs.
M. Felix Jules Meline is the Mckinley OF
France He is therecognized leader of the
protectionist party, and has also been very
fortunate in holding on to a large follow
ing Of farmers. After he was relieved of
his office Of president of the chamber Of
deputies he became chairman of the GUS
toms committee of the chamber. He
framed o tariff bill in 1901, which bore his
name He was an intimate friend of the
late Senator Ferry and was minister Of
agriculture under the dead premier in the
"long ministry" The impression prevails
that the cabinet is only an emergency
affair to provide for the passage Of the
budget.

The Cherokee Strip Not to be openet
for Settlement Until July,

WASHINGTON, April 3.-From informa
tion obtained at the interior department il
is likely that the great race across the In
dian Territory for the coveted lands In the
Cherokee strip cannot take place before
June, and it is more likely that it will not
be until the hot days Of July that TIL.
boomers will be permitted to enter.
The president has intimated that he
wishes to open the strip as soon as possible.
but there are SO many things to be done
preliminary to it that it will take some
time to satisfy the conditions required by
the act to precede proclamation from the
president opening the lands. 1t will be
necessary TO make some seventy allot
ments to the Cherokees. There are over
100 claimants for these allotments, and it
will require some little time to pass upon
the merits of the several claims. Similar
allotments must be made in the case of
the Pawnee lands Then there are county
and town sites to be located and other
acts which must take time before the
president can under the law open the
lands to entry.

Five Persons Burned to Death in Con-
migration at Bradford.
BRADFORD, April 3.-The Higgins Hotel,
three-story frame structure, located at
the foot of Main street, opposite the Buf
falo, Rochester and Pittsburg Railroad
depot, was destroyed by fire. Five persons
were burned to death or drowned in the
creek and twenty-five or more were in
jured, two at least fatally. The fire com
municated with and destroyed the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg depot freight
house and store occupied by Leroy 81
Waldo as grocery and feed store.
The fire started from a gas jet under a
coffee boiler in the kitchen. Ed Pickar |,
the night clerk, first saw the blaze. In
stead of making an attempt to extinguish
the flames he ran up stairs to arouse the
sleepcrs The house was filled with smoke
almost instantly, and the finder like par
titions and ceilings of the first floor were
soon in flames. OF the hundred and more
people who were asleep in the house but a
few escaped by the stairway. Most OF
them jumped from the windows to the
streets below or intot the creek.
The lireInen commenced searching in the
ruins as soon as the embers cooled suffi-
cienely and the following bodies were re-
covered; - Pike, inachin!st, Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg khops; Frank
Havelin, engineer who came from Ro-
chester to work for the railway, identified
by railroad passes found on his person;

Ton Miners suffocatsd by smoke-The
Mine Stlll on Fire.
SHAMoKIN, Pa, April 3--By the ex-
plosion Of a lamp in the hands of Hun
garian miner ten men lost their lives at
the Nelson shaft, near this place, on Satur-
day. The dead are: Joseph Bortrax, single;
John Gray, married; John Burtt, married;
Frederick Ginter, single; Frank Shupis,
single; Nicholas Dutah, married; John
Ryan, single; James Brennan, single; John
Robel, married; Michael Brennan, single.
The i'll fated miners were residents of Sha-
mokin and Springfield, stuall village
adjoining the borough.
The burning oil set fire to the roof of the
mine, and the efforts of the miners to ex-
tinguish the flames were unavailing owing
to the inadequate supply of water. An
airway shaft connects the No. 10 vein with
the red ash vein, which is situated d.
rectly over the former one.
Hurriedly notifying Che miners on this
lift the engineer was signaled and the
flight to the surface commenced. Once out
some of the men thought of the air pas
sage leading to the red ash vein, and knew
that were the occupants not notified some

cuers was lowered, and when the cage
stopped at the red ash vein, 800 feet from
the surface, the men found the tunnel
filled with smoke which had come up from
the lower level A connle Of rescuers
jumped off the cage and tried to walk
through the smoke, which grew denser
every minute A few dead mules were
stumbled over, and the men reluctantly
retreated and returned to the surface
aware that If anyone was in the tunnel he
could not escape, as there were no exits at
this particular s:;.5 s:a5 Of the lift.
The cage was again lowered and force
of men started in to explore the tunnel. 1t

was imminent. With CHEEKY words to

Three feet away were the remains of

continued until every part of the vein had
been explored, ten dead men being the to-
tai find.
The fire In the meantime continued to
spread, and finally shot up to the red ash
vein and got beyond control So intense
was the heat that no one could enter the
mine. A consultation was held with the
view of fighting the confagration, and it
was decided to flood the vein. The Elmira
owners of the mine arrived and the work
of flooding was stopped in order to first
try smothering the flames. Everything

TO HONOR LINcoLN's MEMORY.
A Proposal to Convert the Old Home
stead Into a National Park,

NEW YORK, April 8.-The Recorder con-
tains an illustrated article giving pictures
of the cabin in which Abraham Lincoln
was born and the little house in which his
parents were married. 1t asks for sug-
1sstioms as to tha best means of perpetual
ing the memory Of the martyr president.
The Recorder throws out the hint that it
would be the proper thing to buy the old
homestead in Kentucky and convert it
into public park which might be used as
great drill ground for the national en-
campments and all sorts of gatherings of a
general and non-scctional nature. The
plan seems to have met with much favor
here, and it is not improbable that action
will soon be taken in the matter.
