Sending Jameson Raiders to Jail a Gro
 tesque Travesty.

London, July 31.-In the house of commons to-day Sir Mathew White Ridley, the home secretary, announced that Dr. Jameson and the other prison CTS who were convicted of taking part in the Trasvaal raid, will be treated as first class nlidemeanants during their terms of imprisonment
 The home secretary announced in the house yesterday, in reply to questions asked on the subject, that the court alone could order that the prisoners be treated as first class misdemeanants and that no such order had been issued. He added, however, that it had not been decided whether the royal pre- rogative would be exercised and an order in the queens name issued that the prisoners have better treatment than ordinary convicts.
 Dr. Jameson and his colleague will now be allowed to have their meals brought to them from outside of the Wormwood Scrubs prison, where they are confined; will not have to wear the usual prison garb, will not have to do menial work, and will be allowed to. have small quantities of wine and beeK

HELD WITHOUT BAIL
Are the Suspects in the Famous Crimes on
 the Herbert Fuller.

Boston, July 31.-This afternoon the trial of Mate Bram and Seaman Brown of the barkentine Herbert Fuller, charged with the murder of Captain Nash, Mrs. Nash and the second mate of the vessel, was resumed, Monk, the Harvard student, being examined
 He said on cross examination that he considered Brown the best seaman aboard, but noticed that he had the habit of talking to himself. Though witness suspected Bram the day after the murder he had nothing for which to suspect until he was told about Brown having washed his clothes. Monk said he composed the murder theory at the instance of the mate. He never said he made mistake in writing the theory. This closed the testimony.
 Ex-United States District Attorney Frank D. Allen, representing Brown and James, and E. Cotler, representing Bram, made brief arguments, being fol- lowed by Attorney Hoar Commission CT Fiske then ordered both prisoners held without bail for the United States circuit court grand jury, October 15. The witnesses, except Klein and Monk, were ordered to furnish bonds in $500 each for their appearance at the same time. Monk and Klein were paroled.

POSSIBLY HE IS MISTAKEN.
Candidate Sewall Says the People Want
 Free Silver.

Bath, Me, July 31.-Mr. Sewall said to-day: "The silver ranks are growing daily stronger in Maine. The only is- sue of the campaign is silver. The re- publicans have tried to force the tar if to the front, but cannot. It is such a secondary issue that the people are not thinking about the matter. The trouble is not there. They want pros perity, which is having every man at work and all wheels moving. They want to get rid of paralysis of business. They have tried a high tariff and low tariff and matters have continually been growing worse.
 "The democratic party has decided that the trouble lies in the financial system and that the remedy is the re- monetization of silver. The people pie have decided the same way, and what they want they will have, and no one can help it. What the people want is right and cannot be otherwise,

ANOTHER TRoLLEY VICTIM.
Otto DiCatsky Fatally Injured at tl
 Kimberly Avenue Bridge.

 One more bicyclist paid the pen- alty of taking the risk of being run down by the electric car by riding on the track of street railway. It was last evening, and the unfortunate vic- tim was young man named Otto Di- Catsky. He lived at 116 Lafayette street.
 He was the son of Benjamin Di- Catsky, and was about twenty eight years old. He lived at his fathers
 home. The accident occurred near the first bridge going west on Kimberly avenue
 The account of the accident told by
 several passengers on the car is sub- stantially that when car No. Al turned into Kimberly avenue Motorman Boyle saw two cyclists on the track ahead of
 his car. As he neared the wheelmen he
 piled his foot to the gong, ringing 1t
 steadily The cyclists paid not atten-
 ton to the ringing of the bell, but kept
 riding rapidly, keeping out of the way of the car.
 Before the Kimberly avenue bridge
 was reached the distance between the
 
 come dangerously short. DiCatsky's
 associate, Nathan Schwatz, escaped in-
 jury. The deceased steered his wheel
 toward the footpath on the bridge, and in doing so his wheel caught in the
 bridge rail and the rider was thrown. He landed on his feet. The nlotorman had seen the danger
 and reversed his lever. DiCatsky step- ped on the track immediately ahead of tricate his wheel, which was new one.
 The car struck him, knocking him face first diagonally across the track. His body was caught in the main guard and held there, not reaching to the wheels.
 The car was running at such slow
 rate of speed that the wheels of the car did not reach him. A jack was
 brought from the power house of the
 road and the car jacked up. The ambulance was called. It was found that DiCatsky's right leg was
 broken, his head badly cut, and he had also sustained several internal injuries. The unfortunate man suffered intense
 agony while being conveyed to the hos- | pital. There was no hope of his recov- cry from the time he was taken rom under the car He died at g o'clock last evening.
 DiCatsky's friends were notified of his death. His remains will be taken to his home. His funeral will pc heiw , tomorrow.

or people were bruised and shaken up and went to cottages. Of the dead for ty-two have been identified, and the bodies of three women, one man and a boy await claimants, All through last night Atlantic City was in an uproar Thousands thronged to the scene of the wreck and collected around the rail- road stations and pushed and crowded to watch the trans discharging their loads of dead and injured.
 At the hospital every room was turn ed into the accident ward and the grooming, shrieking men, women and children were stretched out on cots on beds, tables and the floor, while nearly all the doctors in Atlantic City attended to their hurts.
 The scenes around the hospital and morgue this morning were narrowing. The first trains from Bridgeton, Salem and the other towns from which the victims of the accident came brought relatives and friends, hoping to find the one they sought alive or not badly Injured and dreadng to find them dead or dying.
 The old Excursion house had been turned into temporary morgue Here stretched out on the floor in two paral- Tel rows, were the dead in boxes. Some attempt had been made to clean the corpses, but some were half nude, their torn and tattered clothing not cover- ing their limbs. Outside the morgue great crowd collected. The scenes as the bodies were identified were sad and pathetic beyond words
 The scenes at the Sanitarium, the hospital, to which the injured were taken were repeated with less acutene5s than at the morgue as relatives found | those they sought. The coroners jury viewed the bodies this morning and were all taken away to-day except those unidentified. The responsibility for the accident is hard to place at this time, but the burden seems to rest upon the dead engineer of the Reading train, Edward Farr
 Coroner Mclaughlin to-day went to the block tower and questioned Opera tor George F Houser Houser told him he thought the excursion train had time to cross the tracks of the Read ing before the express got there and he set the clear" signal for the West Jersey train and the danger" signal on the Readings tracks.
 Pending an investigation Houser was put under arrest. This evening he was released on bonds.
 Camden, N. J., July 31-Station Mas ter John Bodtne of the West Jersey and Seashore railroad says that he learned that Engineer Farr of the Reading train passed three signals all against him befoRe the train crashed into the West Jersey excursion train. The first signal was 2,0OO feet away and is known as the distance signal Then he had to pass a home signal and finally the block signal at the crossing.
 Engineer Greiner of the excursion train told Bodine that he had stopped before reaching the crossing and blew his whistle to get the operator to give him the clear signal. He got a clear signal and started. He could not see the Reading train, but saw a cloud of dust indicating it's approach. Farr had ample time to stop his train. but
 made no effort It is rumored there was some one in the cab talking to Farr at the time of the accident. but this has not been confirmed.

CHANGE OF POLICY
Alleged That China Will Be
Opened for the Trade Of
the World
Upon the Return of the VicerOy,
Ii Hung Chang, to the
Empire.
The Emperor Favors Extension
Of Railroads and Other I'm
prOvements.

SHANGHAI, China, Sept. 6.-There are
reports in circulation here among peo.
pie of the highest authority which, If
correct show that the travels Of Ii
Hung Chang in Europe are likely to
have in the immediate future most
important effect upon the policy of the
Chinese government, and that the Chi.
nese empire will shortly be thrown open
to free trade with the rest Of the
world.
When the great Chinese statesman
was in England an official attached to
his staff said that the main object of
the viceroy's tour was to sound the
European governments regarding an
increase in the customs tariff of China.
He added that Russia, Germany and
France were favorable to the increase,
but that the marquis of Salisbury want
ed time to consider the matter, and that
he had brought forward several counter
propositions. What the proposals of
Lord Salisbury were is q question
known to but few people. 49,
Inclined to Concede Conditions.
On the other hand, it is asserted here
by people who are in a position to have
accurate information regarding the
policy of the Chinese government, that
the latter is inclined to concede the con-
ditions set forth by Lord Salisbury, and
that as preliminary agreement, there
will be an increase in the tariff all
transit dues in the interior of China
will be abolished, and that later on,
free trade will be established through
out the Chinese empire. The prelim-
mary increase in the tariff is looked
upon as being necessary, as a loan must
be secured in some manner, and as the
customs dues are regarded as being the
best security possible under the circum.
stances.
It is also intimated that if Great
Britain advances the money required
by China, the latter, as a sort of bonus,
