No Use For the A. r. u.

Chicago, Aug. ia conference was
held here today by representatives Of
the railroad brotherhood for the discus
sion of matters affecting the old organ
lzations, as the result of the work of
the a. r. U. during the recent strike.
Among those present were Grand Chief
Sargent and F. w. Arnold, Of the Loco
motive Firemen; Grand Chief Wilker-
son, Messrs MOrrissey and Terrell, of
the Brotherhood of Trainmen, and w.
V. Powell grand chief of the Order of
Railway Photographers.
An agreement was reached to en-
deavOr to secure the reinstatement of
the members of the order who Joined
in the A. r. u. strike and have since
repented of their course and are apply
ing for membership in their old lodges.
Mr.. Wilkerson said that after the con-
ference many of the men were out of
positions through the strike and had
applied for readmission to the brother
hood, confessing they had been swept
away by the excitement attending the
strike, and the prOfuse promises of the
leaders of the A. r. U. They now had
no jobs, and the A. r. u. was in no
financial position to give them support.
I'VE agreed to take the men back
and will do all in our power to have
the railroads lift the boycott from
them, for we are sure the trainmen will
not again leave their lodges under sim
liar circumstances" said Mr.. Wilker-
son.
The officials of the order left here
last night to effect the reorganization
of the disbanded lodges of telegraphers,
and will make personal appeals to the
various roads to reinstate their men.

New York, Aug. ia special from
a Panama correspondent in Leon,
Nicaragua, sends word that the clergy
there proclaimed from the pulpit today,
the accommodation of the editor of
the liberal newspaper 1893 and for
babe Catholics to read it. Several
priests have been arrested in conse-
ouence and will be expelled from the
country. Great excitement prevails.
From Port Limon comes the report
that in response to a request from the
captain of the British man-of-war Mo-
hawk, another English gunboat has
been ordered to Nicaragua in connec-
ton with the Mosquito affair.
The government telegraph lines

General Milin has been appointed
governor of Coscau.
Columbian and Venezuelan troops

From trustworthy sources it is
learned Costa RIGA will reject the
scheme for a union of Central Ameri-

like Senior Francisco Boca consider the
idea chimerical. Rumors are af1oat

A NARROW ESCAPE.
While Insane From sickness, n Man
Attempts Wholesale Murder.

Kearney, N. j., Aug. 19.-Thomas
Hewitt, an iron moulder, made an at
tempt today to kill his wife and four
children. He wounded them, but not
fatally, and then sprang from a win
dow and ended his life.
He had been suffering for some time
from typhoid malaria. This morning,
he entered the room where his wife
and children were lying. He raised a
knife which he carried and exclaimed:
Julia, your time has come
With this, he pushed the woman
aside and sprang to the bed He made
a vicious lunge with the knife at the
eldest child, a boy of Z, missing him
and burying the knife in the bedding.
He struck again and again at the chill
dren. but they had been awakened by
a scream from the mother and he in
flicted no serious wounds, although the
four were more or less cut
Mrs. Hewitt threw herself between
her insane husband and children, and
in endeavoring to catch his arms, re-
ceived a bad stab, the point of the
knife entering the flesh near the elbow
The downward stroke of the knife con-
tinued and tore the arm to the wrist.
He then sprang through the window,
fracturing his skull and dying an hour

AN ERROR ALLEGED.
Pacific Coast Importers Send n Pro
test to Washington.

San Francisco, Aug. 19.-Importers
and merchants here claim that a seri-
Gus blunder has been made in the
tariff bill. Under the proposed law,
cocoanut oil is admitted free of duty,
but copra, which is the raw material
from which cocoanut oil is manufac-
tured, is subjected to duty of 80 per
cent.
Copra is the raw sun-dried product
of the cocoanut, and cannot be used
for any other purpose than making
cocoanut oil, which is chiefly used in
the manufacture of soap Copra is
not prepared, and cannot be used as
dessicate cocoanut, and has always
been duty free.
Twelve leading firms here have
united in telegraphing a protest to
Washington, urging a correction of
what they believe to be an error made
through ignorance of the articles being
footed. In their kilograms to Pacific
coast congressman they say:
"Cocoanut oil being on the free list,
1t is evidently a mistake to place duty
on the raw material, which is only fit
to make it. Please try and place cOpra
on the free list as heretofore. 1t is of
vital interest to this coast, and will
ruin South Sea island trade"

London. Aug 20.-A dispatch from
Shanghai says the Chinese there are
suffering from a spy mania that has
developed among Chinese officials.
All vessels arriving in Too Sung river
are boarded by Chinese naval officers
and searched for spies and contraband
munitions Of war.
Two prominent japanese have been
arrested within the French concession
on an unfounded charge of spying.
They are still detained for trial.
The dispatch further states that a
number of Englishmen and Scotchmen
have been obliged to leave the arsenal
at Wei Hal Wei, owing to the war.
They had been fired at by the Chinese
guards and some of them would UNI
doubtedly have been killed had it not
been for the protection afforded them
by Chinese officers.
1t is added that on three successive
nights Japanese torpedo boats forced
the boom guarding the water entrance
10 Wei Hal Wei. They either evaded
or countermined the torpedoes that had
been laid by the Chinese and effected
an entrance to the ports, the defense
of which had heretofore been supposed
to be impregnable The Chinese did
not engage the forts, as it is said they
were IN search OF ln1Of1nd I1on as TO the
lines to be followed in the event of it
being decided to make an attack in
force upon the place.
Sickness prevails in both the Chinese
and Japanese armies.
China has accepted the offer of Lui
Yung Fl. the celebrated eX-chief of the
Black Flags at Tonquin, who is now a
naval commodore at Canton, to reor-
ganize the Black Flags to fight against
Japan

government has prohit it'd the exporta-
ton of horses. Horses are regarded
as contraband of war by Japan. Urgent
orders have been sent from the north
ern to the southern arsenals for powder
and other munitions. Recruiting for
the army is progressing actively. The
Japanese have fortified the passes lead
ing from China into Corea and have
established elaborate defenses at Seoul.
One hundred and six thousand men
have been modified by Japan and their
services been called upon for service

this belief in the minds of Minister Guz-
man and his assistants at Washington
have been the letters and kilograms
from residents of this city calling at
tention to several facts in connection
with Yrigoyen and the Ezetas. The ap-
pointment of Yrigoyen of Mr.. Romas
as acting consul was considered by the
Salvadorians here as another attempt
to help the Ezetas.
One of the kilograms sent to DR.. Guz-
man was from DR.. Calderon, and 1t
fully outlined the situation, and called
particular attention to the amicable re-
lations between the consul and Antonio
Ezeta. Mr.. Yrigoyen had served as
consul under the presidency of Carlos
Ezeta and had been highly favored by
him. 1t was natural that return of
favors should be made at this time,
when Antonio was in dire peril.
DIR. Calderon also sent telegram to
President Gutierrez in which he laid
the situation before him and offered to
act as consul.

Wheat IN LONDON.

London, Aug. 19.-The weather has
been broken and unfavorable to harvest
work. The market for wheat has been
mainly controlled by American news,
consequently prices are lower. In spite
of the bad weather offers have not in
creased, but the demand is poor. The
quantity afloat has decreased, but the
promise of full crops has made the
market sentitive more to weakness than
Ito strength. Red winter, new crop par
cells, prompt delivery, were quoted at
20s. Sd. Spot business was slow.
In flour, there was rather more in
quiry for the desirable brands Other
wise, flour was quiet and steady.
In maize, the trade was dull and the
tone easy. Mixed American was not
quoted.
Barley was firm and inactive.
Oats were shade worse ON the week.

also that of the Fall River spinners,
in voting to accept the reduction and
support them. 1t was voted to assess

MARKETS OF MANCHESTER.

Manchester, England, August 49,
The market during the past week was
as unsatisfactory as during the previ-
Gus week. This was due to overwhelm-
ing offers, which render futile every
effort to raise prices. At the close,
however, there was a somewhat more
confident tone, because the stronger
price of silver renders an improvement
in the eastern limits probable. and
also because of the fact that spinners
are about to combine to reduce their
production. In the meantime, spinners
are refusing business except for
