great degree of sympathy upon

uncertainty prevails throughout the

are genuinely fearful that the powers
may forcibly intervene, a movement
which would inevitably lead to the
extinction of the Turkish empire in
Europe.

Didn't Consult His Arithmetic When He

NEW YORK, Nov. ia meeting of
the New York Yacht club has been
called for next Monday night. It is
proposed to expel Lord Dunraven as an
honorary member of the club
Dunraven's charge that Defender did
not sail on her measured load water
line in the international races is ridic-
ulous on the face of it. Defender at
the water line displaces about three
tons to the inch. That means that to
sink her an inch it would require 2,2tO
pounds to be placed on board. To put
her four inches lower in the water. as
Lord Dunraven charges, would have
taken IL tons, or 26, $50 pounds. The
only way to haye lowered the Defen-
der would have been to put lead on
board. Pig-lead is what is used for
this purpose, and allowing each pig to
weigh IS pounds, it would have taken
$50 pigs This could not have been put
on board without the knowledge of
large number of disinterested people.
and it is highly improba BILE that Lord
Dunraven would have exclusive infor.
nation of the trick.

And Proposition to Meet It-Mr. Reed on
Finance.
New YORK. Nov. lot is rumored
that the treasury department has COM
municated with the New York bank
ers with a view to making an arrange
ment for the restoration of the gold re-
serve. The proposition is that when
the reserve falls to SIS, 900. 900 the
banks shall furnish s25. 900. 900 in gold,
for which they will receive per cent.
bonds on a per cent basis.
The idea is regarded with favor by
the banks, as they would rather sup
ply gold than experience another
financial disturbance.
Thomas u. Reed, who is slated for
speaker of the house of representa-
tives, has spent some time in New
York recently discussing the currency
questions with bankers. He, it is said,
has intimated that he will oppose the
proposed retirement of the greenbacks
by an issue of bonds He found that
bankers as rule objected to the wip-
ing out of the greenbacks if there is
to be no other orm of money to take
their place.

Said to Have Been Won by Cuban Insur-
gents-RecOgnition Must Follow.
CHICAGO. Nov. 16.-A special dis
patch to the Evening Press from Wash.
ington says.
1t is reported that private unofficial
advices were received by the president
yesterday morning to the effect that
a serious engagement had occurred be.
tween the insurgents and Campos'
troops at Santa Clara, Cuba. The ru-
NOR further states that the insurgents
were signally victorious and utterly
routed the Spaniards. The report.
however. lacks confirmation. Should
it prove to be true. there is no ques.
ton as to the course of the admins
tration. The Cubans will be recog-
nized as belligerents, and entitled to
all the rights which that recognition
will give them.
The cabinet had the Cuban question
up for discussion yesterday, but be-
yond the fact that this is true nothing
definite can be learned as to what
course, if any, was taken. It is evi.
dent, however, that q crisis in Cuban
affairs is near at hand. and that the
president and Secretary Olney are dis
cussing the advisability of adopting
the course which all the friends OF
Cuba are urging upon them. Score
tary Olney is said to be in favor of i'm
mediate recognition.

LAPEER, Mich, Nov. 15.-Luther II.
Beecher, Of Detroit, was literally
ground to pieces by the north-b bound
Michigan Central train three miles
south of here at II o'clock Wednesday
night. The engineer was unable to
stop the train in time. Beecher's head
was cut off and his body was badly
mangled. 1t is believed that Beecher
was waylaid by tramps. who robbed
and placed him on the track to hide
their crime.
Two tramps were seen near the
track just before Beecher's body was
discovered. They boarded a train
bound for Saginaw yesterday morn
ing, and officers have gone after
them. Beecher's pocketbook was
found near his body, out it had been
emptied. His boots had been removed.
There was nothing to bear out the
theory of suicide.
Young Beecher was a grandson of
the late Luther Beecher, who left an
estate valued at more than 81, 600. OO0
The young man left Detroit last Tues
day. His family relations were en-
tirely pleasant.

Under q reduced tariff the United

The democratic tariff policy vindicates

"A republican paper comments
upon the elections under the heading

TO the credit of the democratic parry
that it has nearly everywhere thrown off

without Injury.
BosroN, Nov. 15.-The five-story
brick building at 200 and 20z Congress
street was Quilted by Ere yesterday
afternoon. 1t was occupied entirely
oy the Empire Disti1ling Co. Several
persons were injured.
Little Is known about the origin of
the fire. There was suddenly an ex-
plosiOn of alcohol on the second floor,
and in q minute two more followed.
Then it seemed as though the whole
structure was burning. The flames
spread with remarkable rapidity, and
when the first detail of apparatus ar
rived. were pouring with huge volumes
of smoke from every window of tho
Eve floors.
About twenty men were employed
in the building, but fortunately most
OF them had gone to dinner and thus
escaped.
The flames climbed to the buildings

but the damage to each was slight. A
panic was created among some forty
five girls employed in the Thompson &
Norris factory, and they rushed wildly
through the building in their excite
ment. Some of them would have
jumped from windows had they not
been prevented. But all finally got
out in safety.
A similar state of affairs occurred in
the confectionery shop of w. NJ Low
ney. in the rear of the distilling COM
pany's building. Some 400 girls are
employed there, and when the smoke
from the burning building reached the
candy factory the girls were panic
stricken. Many of them tainted in
the rush and excitement. but as in the
paper box building. all escaped in
jury.
The Empire Distilling Co.'S loss is
about SIS. 900; partly covered by in
surance. The building, which was
owned by VIM. II. Stafford, was valued
at $40. 600 and insured.
