DEBS LATEST MANIFESTO.

Patronile the Pullman cars-wiii Carry the Strike Through and There wiii be no
 Surrender.
 Chicago. July ?2,-President Debs. Vice President Howard and Secretary Kciiher Of the American Railway union. and Editor Rogers of the Railway Times. to-day Issued. from "Headquar- ters American Railway union. Cook County Jail" n manifesto calling upon the travelling public to stop patroniz- ing Pullman cars as another means Of bringing the company 10 terms. The manifesto. in substance says:
 It is amost universally conceded that the Pullman company, through oft repeated reduction of wages. excessive rent and many causes has grievously wronged its employees. The refusal to submit 10 arbitration in any form is proof positive that the company had not faith in the justice of It's cause In view of the heavy loss entailed such
  company is deserving of the severest condemnation.
 The Pullman company makes the plea that 1t is asked to run its works at a loss. The statement Is false. What was asked was arbitration and this would have resulted In even handed justice. The Pullman company has robbed it's employees and an investiga- tion would have disclosed a state of affairs that would have mortified the nation. This is why arbitration was refused. The company, while making extortionate charges for sleeping car accommodations. pays its conductors | and porters such paltry wages that they | are obliged to depend on the public for support.
 The Pullman company, still defiant and as cruel to it's former employees as it is indifferent to the public veal, is de- | termined to starve its employees into submission. Shall the Pullman com pany have the support of the public in carrying out this hellish policy? We know what the answer will be. The American people uphold justice and they love fair play. And now, in the name of justice and fair play, we appeal to the great Americon public not to ride in Pullman car until the Pullman company does jnstice to its employees. Let the cars be absolutely empty. We will then see how long the railway com- panies will pc bound by their alleged contracts to haul Pullman cars. We propose to continue this strike against the Pullman company through good and evil report and without regard to coSsequence until justice shall be done. There will be no surrender. We will use every available means to press the contest. Dungeons shall not daunt us. The struggle is for humanity and against the most cruel tyranny and must be crowned with success.

INVENTOR LEoNARD'S SHIELD. Tested at Goyernpr's Island-Not Sf Use to

 soldiSrs, Lieutenant Treat Says.
 New York. July 22.-W. F. J. Leon- ard of 97l Park place, Brooklyn, ex hibited his bullet-proof shield before the officers stationed on Governors Island yesterday. Two thre e-inch oak blanks were used as target. A bullet fired from Winchester rife penetrated the blanks 2 1-16 inches. The cartrid ge contained 70 grains of powder and 450 grains of lead. A ball fired from 45- oalibre Springfield rifle penetrated the planking 2 IA inches. The cartridge contained 70 grains of powder and 800 grains of lead. A second shot was buried 9 1-2 inches in the board The firing distance in each case was 40 feet. The balls, if fired at pine wood target, would have penetrated to depth of 20 inches.
 A flat shield was strapped to the tar get. The first shto from a 45-calibre Winchester rifle passed through the edge of the shield. Inventor Leonard said no composition covered this part of the shield. The second shot penetrat- ed the shield one inch. LieuteEGfit c. G. Treat of General O. O. Towards s staff fired the shot from a 45-calibre Springfield rifle. The bullet was buried 1M inches in the shield. The armor Is 2A inches in thickness. The shot would have broken the wearer's chest.
 A convex shield was substituted for the flat shield. Lieutenant Treat fired two more Shots at distance of forty feet, using Springfield rife. Both balls penetrated the shield seven eighths of an inch. This answered all the claims of the inventor. The test was declared off because of rain. Cap tain Coffin refused to allow Leonard to wear the shield, which was now full of holes, and be fired at by one of his men.
 The army officers at the test were Major Phipps, Captain Coffin. Captain Van Ness, Lieutenant Harris Lieuten- ant Treat speaking of the shield. says:
 "The armor has marvellous resisting power. It will turn any rife ball, but would not resist a ball thrown by Hotchkiss field gun. If 1t can be made to turn, and is lighter than steel. 1t will be very useful as defensive armor for field guns, but 1t would not be use- full to soldiers. They would not carry them, If they did, men would throw them away when in action"
 Captain Coffin says the only advan- tase of the shield lies in the fact that it is about half as heavy. as a piece of steel with an equal resisting power Captain Coffin invited Inventor Leo- nard to second test with the new shieds

LUcANIA SHIPS TWO SEAS.
Passengers Upset and Two of Them Slight
 ly Hurt-A saiiornan Disabled,

New York, July 22.-A mighty sen, lashed up by westerly gale, caused oonsternation on the Cunard steamship Lucania on Monday forenoon, when she was about 300 miles out from Queenstown, bound for this port. The Lucania was bounding westward nearly at top speed, when the wave toppled over the port bow and rolled nft. It's spray broke on the promenade deck. The bridge railing was bent and twisted. Passengers who had been sitting on chairs and looking at the angry sea from the main deck, fled from the in- vading water. 4 sailor who was knocked against m iron railing lost several teeth and three of his ribs were broken. A cabin passenger was thrown against a rail by the sudden checking of the ships progress. His head was cut.
 aboard another followed 1t, increasing the confusion, especially among the steerage passengers, of whom there were 465. A woman was knocked down and bruised. A part of the torrent mashed in the thick plate-glass win- dows of the library and flooded It, ruin ing some of the upholstery. An iron ventilator under the bridge was twisted out of shape, and other venlilators were washed away. The steamship was slowed down and no more water came aboard.
 One of the passengers on the Lucania.
 Mir. D. De Sola Mendes, said yesterday that when the big wave came aboard nearly all the ladies were in their berths the sea being pretty rough for such as were not good sailors. MT. Mendes. to whom big waves, according to his own account, are familiar visions. thinks the wave was a pretty good sized one. A good many of the men were below.
 MT. Mendes was one of a party of about score who were sitting on steamer chairs looking at the tumult. It was not raining and the sky was almost cloudless. The fair weather gall was pill ing up the seas. He thinks that 1t was not so much the height of the sea as it was the tremendous forward motion of the ship, which was being run at full speed, which created the disturbance. She plunged her sharp prov deep into the first wave, the crest of which, MT. Mendes thinks, came up almost to the
 bridge The biggest part of it'was a solid green mass and swept athwart- ships and tore away. about fifteen feet of the port rail. A part of 1t reached the promenade deck and wrenched from their fastenings two heavy benches. The passengers in steamer chairs on the promenade deck retreated aft and some of the chairs were swept back with them. y,A,
 One young man w'tr had been enjoy ing therriot of the seas was knocked down by the sudden plunge of the ship. He was cut on the right side ofthe fore head and the ship surgeon took several stitches in the wound. The young man apeared at the table the next morning with a patch over the left eye, but he did not seem to be much injured.

THE MUSICAL DON JUAN.
Divide Musin With Madame Ire
belli-Bettini,

For the LIGHT.
Most San Antonians that are in
terested in music will remember
Divide Musin's appearance in this
city and how he delighted them
with his enchanting music. He
was, as will be remembered, an
affable man, handsome and possess
ing some attributes of a veritable
Don Juan. There were hints in
the press that he was by no means
a Joseph and that he had practi-
cally played the character of Don
Juan with great success and a re-
cent case in the English law courts
bends to confirm the newspapers.
That case is now being tried in
the High Court Probate division
befor Sir Francis Jeune and a spe-
cial jury, with a great array of
counsel on both sides. The prom
inence of the contestants make the
case Importance and the salacious
details give it public interest. 1t
is indeed a cause celebre. The suit
is that of Mile Trebelli VS.. the
Royal Academy of Music. The de-
PENDANTS propounded the draft of a
will of Madame Trebelli-Bettini-

probate under which the academy
took possession of the Madame's
property for the purpose of found

structions, "Trebelli scholarship"
in the academy. The plaintiff
opposes this and, while admitting
that her mother made such a will
and disinherited her owing to mis-
understanding, they were recon-
ciled on the day prior to her death,
and the will was revoked and de-
stroyed. She therefore prays that
the property be dealt with as that
of an intestate. The Academy
lawyers proved that Nine. Bettini
visited her mothers residence soon
after death, carried away quanti-
ty of papers and strongly suggest
that the original will now missing
was then taken away and de-
stroyed.
The romantic features of e
suit are very strange. Whit W

with Musin, he astonished
Mile. by proposing for her hand,
and she told her mother. The
Madame would not believe
Musin could or would love any
one else than her and contrived
to hide her daughter in a room
where, unseen, she could hear and
see how Musin loved the Madame.
The daughter refused Musin and
soon after Musin got cold, deserted
the Madame and married another
lady in New York. The Madame,
however, got jealous and was
under the impression that the
daughter had robbed her of Musin's
love. She would not publicly
quarrel with her on that account,
but she knew that she had a
friend and companion, Mile
Zelie Vandour, whom she loved
dearly, and then, asserting that
Mile Vandour was not pro-
per associate, she demanded
her daughter cease having any
connection with her. This Mile
Bettini emphatically declined to
do, and an open rupture between
mother and daughter followed
The madame cursed her daughter
and said hard things of her, and
the daughter cursed the madame,
wrote cruel letters, threatening to
expose the mothers liason with
Muslin, etc, and one of these letters
"a cruel one-she wore in a bag
around her neck to keep up her
resentment and which letter she
wished burned with her when she
died. This condition continued
until the madame was afflicted
with an incurable disease and re-
tired to her estate at Etrat in Nor
mandy. 1t was then that they met
in friendship as the daughter AYERS,
forgave and became reconciled and
iti was then that the disinheriting
will favoring the academy was re-
voked and destroyed.
No decision in this case has yet
been reported, but it seems more
than probable that the judgment
will be given to Mile. Bettini. Roy
al Academy scholarships are found
ed only in honor of those who are
worthy of honor and it is hardly
likely that after the exposure of
Madame Trebelli-Bettini's inner
life the academy will care to found
scholarship in which her name
must be perpetually venerated, and
for this reason the opposition to the
plaintiff will be considerably re-
Taxed. HENRY RYDER-TAYLOR.
