The Windy City Hopeful

CHICAGO, Dec. v.-The Posts Washing
ton special says: Chicago may get the
convention. 1t would be pleasant to say
that she will get it, but the situation does
not justify sanRuine predictions. At this
writing st. Louis seemingly has the best
chance of carrying off the prize. The
fight so far as can be judged, has deveI-
oped into anything to beat Chicago, and
there are indications of combination be-
tween San Francisco and st. Louis and
Pittsburg to that end. San Francisco's
strength is OF the complimentary kind,
ana Pittsburg is deficient in accommoda-
lions. st. Louis makes a good showing
from the money point of view, and in the
matter of.provision for convention crowds,
Furthermore, she is the second choice of a
majority of those who favor San Francisco
and Pittsburg in the preliminaries. Last
and most important of all, the Reed influ-
ence is secretly against Chicago. The
Reed feeling is that Chicago is a hostile
territory and that any other place would
be preferable. Pittsburg would be satis-
factory, but for the discovery that the town
is saturated with Mckinley sentiment
simultaneously with that discovery came
the disclosure of lack of hotel accomr1o-
dations. That may be said to be the
knockout drop" San Francisco beinc
geographically impracticable, Chicago sup
posedly hostile, and Pittsburg dangerous,
st. Louis will be picked out as the mosl
neutral point in sight, and the Reed pace

MENELIK FIGHTS NIGHTLY
InfliCting Disastrous Defeat UpOn the
Italian Army
The Socialists Denounce the Government's 8
African Policy. but It Promises to
Win in the End

ROME, Dec. 9.-News was received here
today from General Baritori, the COM
mander of the Italian troops in Abyssinia,
announcing what appears to be a serious
disaster to the Italian forces operating
against King Menelik. tie cabled that the
kings army, numbering about 10000
men, surprised and surrounded yesterday
five companies of Italian troops under
Major Toselli, at Ambalagi. Another
body of Italian troops. under the COM
mana of General Armondi, advanced to
the support of Major Toselli, but they
were stopped by the enemy. severe
battle was subsequently fought, and the
result was not made known here. The
official dispatches say the losses of the
Abyssianians were heavy, but no news
was furnished concerning the fate of Ma
jOr TOselli's command, and nothing was
said about the losses of the Italians.
Later in the day in the chamber of depu-
ties the government was questioned
Italian troops suffered in Abyssnia. and
the matter led to warm attacks upon tie
governments policy in Africa.
Replying to question as to the particll-
lars of the battle of Amabalagi, the minis
ter OF war, General Mocenni read the dis
PeseNH AAOiA NObCtoA OutdtIOEls tlo HuU-
stance of which is given above, and added
that the Italian positions were secure. He
admitted, however, that the incident was a
serious one, although entirely reparable.
Signor 1mbriani, the Socialist leader,
made violent speech IN opposition to the
policy followed by the government, and
the other Socialists also denounssi the
African policy of the government.
Major Toselli's column was composed of
100 native troops commanded by.twenty
officers, with forty nou.commissioned
officers and a mounted battery. 1t is now
known that of this force Major Toselii,
seventeen of the officers and 800 of the
naive troops are missing.
The position of Genera Arimondi, at
Makallo, however, is i,npregnable, and he
has provisions FOR three months.
King Humbert tonight conferred with
Premier Crispi upon the situation, the pre-.
mier being indsposed aud confined to his
room.
The cabinet council held tonight has de-
cided to give General Baratiori the neces-
sary means to crush the Abyssinians.

CAUGHT IN A LAKE GALE
As Staunch Tug as Sailed the Inland
Seas
The Pearl Campbell, Caught in . Lake supe-
rior Harficane, Goes Down With All
Hands Aboard

DULUTH, Minn., Dec. 9.-By the sink
ing of the tug Pearl b. Campbell in Lake
Superior Saturday last, seven men, all of
whom but one lived in this city, were
drowned. The names of the dead are:
CAPTAIN WILLIAMC. MCG- LvEY, master.
GEORGE MCCORT, chief ,,,sjneer.
CAPTAIN JOHN Li4sao no-e.
FRED ENGLAND, Sc. ;>%, engineer.
PETER MCCALLIN, .:e@,
Two firemen, names unknown.
The news of the disaster came today in
telegram from the captain of the tug
Castle at L'Anse. Mich. saying tnat the
Campbell had been lost with all hands and
that particulars had been sent by letter.
The captain of the steamer which came in
this evening from Marquette, Mich, says
that on Saturday a terrible gale was blow
ing out on the lake in the vicinity of
Huron isle, and it is probable that the
Campbell, which was Que of the staunchest
tugs on the lakes. was caught in the hurri-
cane. Huron isle is about fifty miles
from Marquette. The tugs Campbell and
Castle had been at work there trying TO
raise two sunken vessels. All the men
who were lost were single, and with one
exception, lived here.

DeniaIs Of Unfair Treatment OF
American Products
OUTBREAK OF TEXAS FEVER
Led to the Prohibition of Imports From
America
Always Loyalty Fulfilled Their Treaty
Obligations to the United statca

Associated Press Special Wire
BERLIN. Dec. 9.-fhe reichstag met to
day. The minister for foreign affai RS.
Marshall Won Bieberstein, made a state
ment of President Cleveland's recent
message to congress. He denied that
there was any diifersntiai treatment in
Germany of Ame .icln cutie and insur.
ance companies. and urged the house not
to be intimidated ny reprsais.
The secretary of the treasury stated the
federal ates for the current year might
reckon upon 30.OOO,OO1 marks over tn e
estimates in direct revenue. He added
also that he expected to show an increase
of 81, 100000 marks compared with last
year.
Herr Fritzen, member of the Center
party, asked for declaration on the part
of the government regarding the alleged
threatened repri.als ag ainst Germany's
trade contained in President Uleveland's S
recent message to congress. In reply the
minister for foreign affairs said the United
States still treats German s,l yar the same
as in 1894 in spite of the fact that we have
the most favored treatment. 1T is there
fore surprising that President Cleveland
should reproach Germ any with treating
american products difrerentially and
American insurance companies vexa-
tiously. This is quite unfounded. 1he
import OF American cattle and beef was
prohibited because exas fever broke out
in consignment received here. 1t is our
duty to show so'icitude for the mainten-
ance OF the condition OF German cattle
and this duty can in no way be subor-
dinated to the politico-commercial inter-
ests Of other countries.
Similarly there 10 no question of the diff
ferentlal treatment OF American insur-
ance companies. The regulations are pub
lished by the Prussian minister for the in
terror. and are applied equally to the home
and foreign companies. Whether these
regulations met the objections in view is q
matter solely for the Prussian government
to determine, and foreign states have not
the right of criticism.
We have always truly and loyalty full
fliied our treaty obligations to the United
otates and will continue to do so, but do
not let us be intimidated by threats OF re.
prisalS or induced to invoke our measures.
Ihe German government is always willing
TO discuss pOlitico.cOmmercial questions
with the United States on a treaty basis, in
order to deal with them in manner betit-
ting our mul,ifarious trade relations with a
great and friendly power. But we expect
reciprocal treatment to the fullest extent.
:. Ihe Tor egn office. in any future hand
ing OF the question, will combine calm
which corresponds with our rights and du-
ty. and which our interests and well-found-
ed rights eiititle us.
Count Won Kardoff, the German silver
champion, expressed satisfaction at the
statement of the minister for foreign af-
fairs, and urged the government to enter
upon strong campaign against socialism,
declaring that the ministry must, before
all, show socialism united and decided
front. ff
The house then adjourned.

NOTICE OF APPEAL
Filed in the Durrant Cass-Dist.ict Attorney
Barnes Win Object

Filed in the Durrant case-Dist-ict Attorney
Barnes Win Object
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. o. Attorney Dick
inson will ask Judge Murphy OH Wedlles-
day to grant a certificate of probable cause
for an appeal in the Durrant case. Notice
of his appeal was filed today. The chief
point that he expects tt gain with the aid
OF such certificate is to keep Durrant in
the county Jail and postpone his removal
to San Quentin prison until the supreme
court affirms the judgment, if it should do
go. Lawyers consider it likely that Judge
Murphy will grant such certificate as is
usual in capital cases, without much regard
to to the merits of the grounds of appeal.
The motion is usually made exparte, but
District Attorney Barnes will ask to be
heard in this case aud will strenuously op
pose the motion.
1t is considered unjust that the sheriff
should carry the responsibility of the GUS
tody Of the condemned man any longer
than is absolutely necessary, as the county
Jail is not very safe building.

Americas Navy
Which the Thunderer Says Are Not Delicate
but are Possessed of the
Element of Truth

Associated Press Special Wire
LONDON, Dec. "a dispatch to the
Times from Caracas says:
The British ullimatum has been deliv-
cred here but the ministers are reticent as
to its contents.
The Times also publishes letter from
Caracas which says that the Venezuelans
are themselves hopeless of preventing the
judgment going against them on the ques-
tion of the frontier outrage upon the Bri-
tisb Guiana policeman, and the delay in
making reparation, the correspondent
adds, probably arises from the shakiness
of President Crespo's authority and his
fear OF incurrng unpopularity.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
quotes an article from the Journal des
Debats, commenting on the Venezuelan
dispute. which says:
''In spite Of its immense industrial
power. the United States does not possess
the military and naval forces, which, after
all, are at the bottom of every diplomatic
discussion which is carried rather far"
The Times also publishes an editorial
comment upon the foregoing, which con-
tends that the Monroe doctrine cannot be
applied either to the boundary line dispute
or 10 Graet Britain's demands for repara-
ton on account of outrages upon officers
Of British Guiana,
1T is not more possible,,' says. the
Times. ITO submit the territory within the
Gchomberg ine to arbitration than it would
be for tho United States to submit to arbi-
tration should Spain set claim to part
of Florida. The remarks of the Journal
des Debats are not conceived in a friendly
or delicate spirit. but they have an ele-
ment of truth which sensible Americans
cannot ignore. It is easy to see that il
this controversy is not skillfully handled,
a state of things might arise among the
ill-governed Central and South American
r. ;ublcs which would involve the United
States in large expenditure for the army
and navy that are now happily un.
necessary"

WASHINGTON, Dec. GA special sent
out to San francisco says: San Francisco
has an exceedingly up hill fight on it's
hands to secure the Republican national
convention, but it's chances for success are
considered good. At least, the executive
committee is more hopeful than at any
time yet. The Californians realize The
enormous odds they must combat, but are
far from being dsmayed. On the other
hand, they met last night and with enthus-
iasIn declared that they were ready to nut
up the fight of their lives, with strong
hopes of victory.
A number of st. Louis delegates called
at the San Francisco headquarters ard
assured the committee that il they found
that st. Louis could not win out they would
throw all their strength to San Francisco.
1t is partially on these assurances that the
San Francisco committee are basing their
hopes.
Chicago is also making overtures of
peace to San Francisco. The delegates

lied a. much as st. Louis, but they insist
that they will not stand in san Francisco's
