ant features that were new as well as of great

ant features that were new as well as of great
general interest to the whole country.
Senator Patton referred to the pleas made
by the Senators from several of the south
ern States, for protection to the industries
of their states, while they are not willing to
give protection to northern States and the
whole country. He said in part:
"Let me say to those Senators, If they
would listen to the voices from the New
South; II they would point to the smoke sig
nails which have waved in the sky from At
lanta and Birmingham and Sheffield; If they
would come out of the mists and fOgs of the
past and denOunce the mumbling over dead
issues, and get away from the doctrine of
free trade, which was the corner stone of
that Confederate constitution which was
shot to death by the armies of the Union,
and perished at Appomattox, their resources
will not remain undevelOped. Let them
listen to the voice Of the New South, which
is surely coming with the triumph of pro-
lection, already heralded by the ground
swell of popular approval at every oppor-
tunity the people have had to apologize for
the great mistake of 1892. The doctrine
this side of the chamber advocates, is as
broad as our country. 1t will do for Ala
bamr, the Virginias, Louisiana and Georgia,
what 1t has already done for Ohio and
Michigan"
Mr.. Patton then referred, in eloquent
words, to the late Henry w. Grady. one of
the greatest and fairest southern editors,
who spoke and wrote so manfully and earn
estly in favor of the protection that had
made the states of the North so prosperous,
and which the South was trying to break
down.
Another pew feature was added to the
discussion by Senator Patton when he
called attention to advance sheets of the re-
port of the u. 8. Consul at Hankow, China.
The report showed that as soon as the elec-
ton OF 1892 had been decided in favor of the
Democratic party, English capitalists at
once began the erection near that city of the
largest rolling mills and arsenal in the
country, at a cost of "a, 500, 900. On this
point Mr. Patton said:
II would that this statement could reach
the ears of every American workingman,
and particularly those who are engaged in
the iron industries, for it cOrObOrates, as
nothing else has done, the assertion that
the attempt to break down the industries Of
America is done for the benefit of those
across the sea, and that England is deeply
interested in the destruction of the Ameri-
can tariff. This letter is most portentious
cloud in the horizon, and it tells the Ameri-
can labOrer In terms that can not be misun-
dersood, that II the present bill is to be-
come law he must take his chances with
English capital, backed by the cheap labor
of China"
These and other points made by Sena-
tor Patton were subsequently referred to by
other Senators. Senator Chandler quoting
from conversation with Gen. Grant on the
cheap labor question Of China, as thus out
lined by senator Patton.

MAY PROVE COSTLY ECONOMY.
A. Sample of the Penny Wise Policy OF
the Last Congress.

Washington, October 14.-The annual
report of Commodore Matthews. chief
of the bureau of yards and dock s, just
made public, indicates how sharply the
line of economy in the naval administra-
tion is drawn by Secretary Herbert for
he ensuing year. This bureau is
harged with the care of all the yards,
buildings. docks, and shore property of
the navy. 1t is responsible for their
maintenan ce in repair and their improve
ment when antiquated. Estimates re-
ceived from the commandants sof the
various shore stations called for over
So, 500, 900 for the next fiscal year. Com
omdore Matthews has been able to re-
duce the amount desired of the coming
session of Congress- to 81, 861 ZOO, bare
ly exceeding what Admiral Gherardi
sought for the New York navy yard
alone. This low estimate is 81. 900, 600
greater than the appropriation of the
last session of Congress. This decrease
is due to the necessity urged by COM
petent naval officers for improvements
that will enable the government to make
practical use of the navy yards. Without
such expenditures, ssthe valuable property
will deteriorate to worthlessness, much
of it already having become obsolete.
Improvements accomplished during the
past year includes. at Portsmouth a boil
er house for buildings Nos. IS and 46,
commenced in the previous year, now
completed, and boiler shop building No.
10 has been built under contract with
a steel frame and roof.

New Orleans, October l4.-Nothing but a
miracle prevented one of the most horrible
railroad wrecks.in the history of Louisiana,
today. About fifteen people were more or
less injured, and $4,000 worth of railroad
property destroyed. ..ssThe wreck occurred at
the junction of the Louisville and Nash
vile, and New Orleans and Northeastern's s
tracks. about two miles from this city. A
Louisville and Nashville excursion train
collided with an East Louisiana excursion
train. Both trains were filled with pleasure
seekers bound for lake coast resorts or the
pine lands of st. Tammany parish. The
engineer of the Louisville and Nashville
train claims he stopped before reaching the
crossing. and is substantiated by passengers
on his train, and that he blew his whistle to
announce that he was going ahead, and re-
ceived no response. He started ahead, and
then sawathe East Louisiana train bearing
down on him at good rate of speed. 1t
was too late to stop, SO he opened the
throttle and tried to get over the crossing
before the other train reached him. When
the other train struck him, the coupling
parted, and the engine with seven coaches
had not stopped for over hundred yards.
The East Louisiana engineer claims that
the air brakes refused to work, and says
that when he found it impossible to avoid
a collision he and the fireman jumped. L.
P. Simpson. engineer of the East Louisiana
train, is under arrest, charged with crimi-
nal negligence.

is POST MAS TER OF U. S. SENATE.
And on Trial for Drawing Too Much Sal
ary as a school Official.

Ellicot City, Nd, October 14-Robert A.
Dobbin, postmaster of the United States
Senate, last evening was found guilty of
president of the Howard county school
board. The counsel for Dobbins argued the
charges were for travelling expenses while
inspecting school buildings and doing
other outdside. work and showed that such
was the custom in other counties of the
state. After five hours deliberation the Jury
returned a vedict as above stated. The
school board cases. engaged the atten-
tion of Howard county authorities several
months, and charges that John Emory Hill,
secretary and Treasurer and examiner, who
has since resigned, was m1smanaging the
funds of the.school board, led to an investi-
cation by the grand Jury, and the up shot
of which was the indictment of Mr. Hill
PRESIDENT Dobbins and DR.. John W. Hebb
OF the board. Besides the charge on which
he was convicted, Mr.. Dobbins was indicted
jointly with DR.. Hebb and Mr.. Hill for con-
spring to embeZzle $3.50.
Mr.. Hill was indicted for negligence in
office and falling to account for S2le7, and
DR.. Debb for drawing $l0O more that his
salary, and for improperly demanding and
receiving $500 for vaccinating school chill
dren. The court sustained the demurrers
against the indictment against Mr.. Hill for
neglect of duty and against the three
officials for conspiracy to embezzle the $3.50
paid by them for trip on school business
to Richmond. The case against DR.. Hebb
for receiving $500 for vaccinating pupils
was removed to Frederick county for trial.

st. Petersburg, October 14.-When
two or three years ago the commander of
the Guardes du Corps in Postdam was
constrained. to send one of his younger
officers, who happenedto be the kaiser's
cousin, Prince Frederick Leopold of
Prussia, behind the front of the regi-
ment "for stupidity and insubordina-
Uion," Gar Alexander wrote to his
father-in-law the King of Denmark,
with bitter sarcasm: Poor Williami
1t makes him unhappy to have one rela-
tive unendowed with stragetic quail
tiles! He ought to be in my shoes, with
thieves, malcontents reds and husbands
of lewd women in his family clrclei"
Alexander, in this letter, referred to
the half dozen Russian grand dukes in
disgrace for the various reasons stated;
He never dreamed that his own son, the
czarovitch. would join the ranks of his
his majeStys most humb BILE opponents"
Still, Nicholas Alexandroivtch has at
last discovered his heart" as they say
in this country. and the beautiful dane
er, Mile. Ksezinska, attached to the I'M
perial opera house here. is g the offender,
for such she will be regarded as long as
the Czar survives.
Alexander has horror of mesalli-
ance, and if anything tends to hasten
the fatal consequences of his illness it is
he combination of the fear of nihilism
and his heirs disgrace by marriage to
non-royal woman.
"But the Gar is absolutely master of
the life and liberty of all his subjects,
the reader says to himself, and why
does he not Danish Ksezinsa to Schlus-
selburg or Siberia?
For the simple reason that Alexander,
in his present feeble condition of health,
cannot afford to provoke a scandal.
: This Autocrat of all the Russians is as
much creaturesof circumstances and is
as human in his likes or dislikes as you
or ]. He lovesthis son and fears that
DISAPPOINTMENT might hurt his delicate
health. He also knows that should the
czaroyich rise in open opposition to him.
he would find plentiful backing
in the imperial family and among the
great of the realm. So his majesty
trusted to time and persuasion to as
suage his sons first great passion, but
his calculations proved erroneous. s

husband of Martha Ksezinska-if not

anof house laws, yet husband In

Universal Suffrage.

Brussels, October, 4.-Belgium's first par
liamentary election with universal suffrage
was held.today. The weather was rainy and
the voting slow. AS the bulk of votes were
cast late the returns came in tardily, al
though the polls closed about the middle of
the afternoon. Excited: crowds have sur
rounded City hall since three. At nightfall
little of the result was known. Then the
Clericals had made gains in many districts
and the Liberals suffered heavily on ac-
count of the strong support given to the
Socialist candidates. AT 8 O'Clock nc dis
turbances had been reported.
The Liberal party twas divided into ad-
vanced and moderate groups throughout
the campaign. therefore they went to the
nolls greatly handicapped. In several n,aoes

for an advantage. Several hand TO han -
fights are reported. None OF them are

Fall River, Mass, October l4.-The entire
business community is Interested in the re-
suits of tomorrow mornings S action of the
operatives. the interest centering in the
action of the weavers. There is little doubt
but the rest of the employ es will go in. 1t
is expected that many weavers will return
because the loss of wages for the last eight
weeks. has driven many into Strengthened
circumstances. The manufacturers are Of
the opinion that they will have some bother
in operating the machinery for few days,
but do not anticipate the help will stay
away from the mills after the first week in
sufficient numbers to seriously affect bust
ness. Since the strike began the mills that
have been running have secured weavers
from other factories and particularly skilled
weavers are at work. Some bother is ex-
pected tomorrow if there is general re-
sumption of work. by the superintendents
trying to get back the old heip working
in other mills. Many members OF the
weavers union still show a determined
spirit and will probably stay away until
they find their continued absence from
their old places is of no avail as factors in
the situation.- During the strike large sums
have been expended for repairs, and it is
expected more or less trouble will be ex-
perienced until the machinery gets into
good running order. Business men and
tradesmeI generally hail with delight the
prospect of complete resumption of work,
as during the vacation something like ST.
500, 600 was kept out of the channels through
which it ordinarily runs. The weavers are
to hold meetings on the park tomorrow,
and the results will be read from various
Sections of the city, showing to what ex-

been disregarded. 4

London, October l3.-Sir Halliday McCart-

circulation in the last day or two that
China has begun negotiations with Japan
for peaceful settlement of the war.
he also says that any such proposals as
the Chinese government is represented to
have made are not within sight and are,
in fact, long way of. The japanese
legation here has received no information
tending to confirm the rumored peace nego-
tiations on the part of China and little
credence is given to the report in London.
