Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, October 27.-The gloom pre-
cipitated by the weeks unfavorable devel-
opments In the coal trade was emphasized
by a series of determined attacks on the
high-priced coalers this morning. All other
topics were neglected in the hope Of Sc
curing additional evidence in support Of the
extreme bear position of the professional
element. The moderate liquidation of long
holdings noticeable during the morning IN
dicates the presence of valuable allies out
side of the room. While it is generally ac-
knowledged that many Of the roads running
through the coal region and dependent on
the products Of such territory for proht-
able business are selling in advance OF ac-
tual value, 1t is also true that the short in
terest formed on the decline Is likely 10
prove troublesome in the near future.
Jersey Central was the first property at.
tackled and yielded easily for loss OF 4
per cent to 90 "a, the lowest price for the
year Delaware and Hudson declined IL
per cent on a good volume of business
Lackawanna scored the greatest loss, al
though last to be attacked. On moderate
dealings judged from the standpoint OF
results, a decline Of 6 per cent was re-
corded before the slightest support was
disclosed.
Reading, the only read in position to
profit by a coal war, closed steady at net
gain of Is per cent for the day. Final fg-
ures reflected moderate improvement from
the previous 10 " level, but did rot influence
the prevailing sentiment, so adverse to
values.
The industrials were dull and uninterest-
ing. fluctuations being confined within the
extremes of Is and 1-2 per cent.
The foreign exchange market has been
an important feature of the week as the re-
suit Of the narrow escape from forcing ad-
ditional gold exports. The supply of bills
from remitters have resulted in a speedy
absorption of all offerings. The week closes
with rates steady and the market narrow
and extremely sensitive to any increased
activity.
Bankers are not apprehensive of further
exports for the present and hope that next
weeks supply of bills will do away with all
uncertainty on this subject.
The banks have gained over a million
dollars in lawful money during the week as
indicated by today's statement.

Caprivi's Resignation and Talk Of
His Successor.
GOVERNOR OF ALSACE-L LORRAINE
Conference With the Kaiser at
Potsdam.
SAID TO HAVE DE JLINED

POTSDAM, Germany, October 27.-Prince
Won henlohe-Shillingsfurst, governor Of
Alsace-Lorraine. who is understood to have
been offered the chancellorship. resigned
by Gen. Won Caprivi, arrived at Wilfpark
railroad station this morning from Stras-
burg. He was accompanied by Herr Won
Koeller, under secretary of the interior for
the province of Alsace-Lorraine.
Emperor William met them at the sta
ton and drove with Prince Won Hohen-
lobe in an open carriage, to the new pail
ace Herr Won Koeller followed in sec
ond carriage, with Lieut.. Col Won Moltke,
the emperor's aid-de-camp.
Upon arriving at the palace the emperor
and Prince Won Hohenlohe had confer
ence in regard to the ministerial crisis. a.
LONDON, October 27.-The statement
that Prince Won Observation-Disclosures
had been offered the German chancellor
ship is confirmed on good authority. and 1T
is added that the prince has declined to ac-
cept the responsibility of that office.
BERLIN. October 27.-An the papers this
morning express recognition of Count Won
Caprivi's high personal qualities.
The National Zeitung says 1t believes that
the office of chancellor and Prussian
premier will be reunited and that no other
changes will occur in the Prussian min
istry. -r....
The Vossiche Zeitung says 1t fears that 1t
is more a mistake than purely measures
against the social democracy.
LONDON, October 27.-In a leader on the
German situation the Times this morning
declines to accept the theory that the crisis
means a return of the emperor to a policy
of exceptional repressive legislation, be-
cause that would amount to a confession
that the dismissal of Prince Bismarck was
| mistake and that his own policy was a
failure. The Times says that whatever
temporary ease might be purchased by such
surrender to reactionary influence, the
consequences to Germany would be too
grave to be lightly contemplated. $50

RESISTED THE wHITECAPs.
A Pitched Battle Resulted in Three
Deaths. "-

DeutnS.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. a..
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, October 27-Three
dead and many more injured Is the hor-
rible story of lawlessness that comes from
Server county as a result of a pitched bat
tie between the white caps that have long
infested that region and a band of anti
white caps, known as blue Boards
The battle occurred Thursday night on a
high bluff on Pigeon river. about half
mile from Henderson Springs.
The dead are Lal an Latham. Lege Het-
ton and a man named kibbe. Mel Llewly
was found today fatally wounded. s..,
The trouble arose over case of disrepu-
table women, who have long infested and
added to the crimes of Sewer county. The
white caps have also operated extensively
in the county for number of years. On
Thursday night the white caps determined
to visit and administer a sound thrashing
to some women who lived at the place
designated.
1t seems that a rival band known as the
blue Boards has recently been organized
with a view to whip out the white caps
who have so long been a terror to the Goun-
try.
The BLUE Boards" heard of the threat
ened whipping and vowed that it should not
take place They repaired to spot on the
bluff near the house where the women that
were to be whipped lived.
There they secreted themselves.
1t was between and o'clock when the
white caps arrived. The latter started to
carry out their plans of whipping the wo-
men, when the blue Boards" arrived in a
body and said that 1t could not be done.
This started the trouble on both sides, and
soon pitched battle was in progress. Sew
eral volleys were fired from pistols and
guns. when the contesting sides were lost
in the darkness and disappeared. several
of them, 1t is said, being badly wounded.
When the sun arose yesterday morning 1t
shone oil tho bodies of three men cold and
stiff in death who were killed in the bloody
battle. They were Latham and Kibble of
the white caps and kelton of the blue
boards.
The affair has created a widespread SEN
sation and other trouble is expected.
In a fight yesterday another man was
killed, name unknown. No arrests have
been made.

time In the workhouse In default Of fine. for

standing that he was feeling very unwell;

the head, which Frustrated him. and he was
allowed to lie In the road until II o'clock be-
fore any assistance was given him. After

CAPRIvPS RETIREMENT.
The German Emperor Failed to In
duce Him to Remain I'm Office.

The report telegraphed from Berlin to
The Star yesterday that Chancellor Won
Caprivi had resigned, and that his resig-
nation had. been accepted, is confirmed
Count Gutenberg, Prussian prime minister,
also resigned, but the emperor refused to
accept his resignation, The Crisis was
brought about by differences Of opinion ON
the measures about to be submitted to the
reichstag for. the suppression OF socialism.
For some time past there has been con-
siderable tension between the chancellor
and Count Zu Gutenberg, owing to the
formers views in regard to these l. ensures.
The chancellor was in favor Of pursuing
a moderate policy, while Count Zu Eulen-
berg believes in the adoption of radical
measures to obtain the end sought. 1t is
said that at the recent meeting of the
Prussian council held to consider the ques-
ton of the repressive measures, majority
of the ministers supported Chancellor Won
Caprivfs views, but whether this is true or
not is a matter Of conjecture.
