Condemned.
Three r1asked lien Attempt to Rob an
Express Train on the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad Near kanawha
Falls, West Virginia, But Are Put
to Flight by the Trains Crew.

LONDON, June 1.-THE fourth and
hnal sitting Of the third congress of
Chambers of Commerce of the Empire
was held in Grocers' Hall to-day.
The congress by a unanimous vote
requested the London Chamber to ar
range a conference with shipowners
with view to eliminating the clauses
from bills of lading which are virtually
contracts that remove shipowne~s from
all liability. In the event of failure to
obtain such conference, or failing to Sc
cure the relief sought through the me-
dunn of conference, the resolutions
provide that the various chambers shall
introduce bills in their respective Par
liaments designed to abolish such
clauses from bills of lading
The congress also adopted a resolu-
ton proposed by the Liverpool Cham
Der condemning the sound signals in
case of fog which were proposed by the
Washington conference, and urging
the Government of Great Britain to en-
deavor to secure the consent of foreign
powers to the withdrawal of the pro-
posed new sound signals
Resolutions proposed by the New
castle Chamber were also adopted ia
voring the abolition of the levying of
light dues upon shipping.
Delegate Arnold of Toronto raised a
question of privilege, and spoke in sup
port Of Mr.. Cockshott's amendment to
Sir John Lubbock's resolution sub
mitted yesterday, favoring arbitration
whenever the awards were enforceable,
and in criticism of the United States re-
garding their action in the Behring Sea
and Alabama matters, and contended
that arbitration was useless unless the
awards were enforced. Mr. Arnold
quoted the statement made by the First
Lord of the Treasury in the House of
Commons on February II, 1891, that
a large sum of the Alabama claim
| award was still undisturbed, but that
it was the policy of Great Britain not to
| ask for the return of any part Of it.
| Mr.. Arnoldis remarks were received
with cheers.
! Mr.. Daley, delegate from the Win.

resolution asking that the Government

A FATAL JUMP.
An Old Lady Leaps From Window
and is Instantly Killed.

PITTSBURG (Pa.), June 12.-Early
this morning a barrel of oil in the base
ment of the bakery owned by Kubue-
gundo Garische, on Spring Garden ave-
nue., near Allegheny street, exploded.
Several people were sleeping in the
building, and before they could escape
the structure was in flames. Mrs.
Garische, aged "A years, leaped from a
window and was instantly killed. The
firemen found Mr.. Garische uncon
scious. A grandchild was found dead
in a crib, and another child will prob
ably die. Mrs. Garische, Jr., and two
other occupants of the house escaped.
No one seems to be able to explain the
cause of the explosion. Garische was a
quiet sort of man, and apparently had
no enemies who would be likely to take
revenge on him in so fiendish a manner.
The fire spread very rapidly.
The firemen were heroic in their eff
forts to save life. They could have
carried out Mrs. Garische safely if she
had waited just a few minutes longer.
She became panic-stricken, however,
and jumped from the window. Mr.
Garishche was overcome by the smoke,
and at last accounts it is not believed
that he will recover.

MORTON NOT AN A. p. A!
Says If He Was President He Would
Treat All SectS Alike.

ST. LOUIS, June Ex-senator Quay
of Pennsylvania was one of Mr.. Platt's
callers this afternoon. The two men
were closeted for an hour. When Quay
departed Platt remarked to a group of
newspaper men: Senator Quay is in
the fight with me to the end
Early this afternoon Plat received
dispatch which he showed with much
satisfaction to callers in his room. 1t
was as follows:
ALBANY On. ". June TT. G.
Plat, ST. Louis: Five carloads Of loyal
New York Republicans are on their way
to ST. Louis for Morton and sound
money. j. S. KENYON
This delegation will arrive tomorrow
afternoon, and thus reinforced, the fight
to prevent the unseating of the Platt
men in the New York delegation will
actively begin. Mr.. Plat is quoted as
saying that if the National Committee
unseat his delegates he will carry the
contest to the Committee on Creden-
tials, and if their decision be unfavor-
able it will be continued on the floor
OF the convention.
The arrival this evening of Cornelius
Bliss and other New Workers gave rise
to the belief that the New York contests,
which had been postponed pending their
arrival, would be taken up tomorrow.
AT midnight it was still question
whether they would be reached to-mor-
row or go over until Monday.
The Marquette Club of ST. Louis to-
day received a reply from Governor
Morton of New York 20 an inquiry ad-
dressed to him as TO whether in the
event of his election to the Presidency
he would make any discrimination
against Roman Catholics.
Governor Morton quotes the explicit
declaration of his letter Of acceptance
when nominated for Governor as to the
equal rights of all citizens, and adds:
Il still adhere to the views therein ex-
pressed, and can only add that if l were
charged with the duty Of administer
ing the office of President of the United
States l should ehdeavor to treat all
classes Of citizens without discrimina-
ton and without regard to their relig-
icuS belief"

Governor, Democratic chances this

clined to be interviewed. He expressed
his entire ignorance as to what kind OF
platform the convention was likely
to adopt. He also declined to say
whether it was his purpose, as had been
stated by some of the Pennsylvania
delegates, to transfer the vote Of his
State from himself to Mckinley when
Pennsylvania was reached on the roll
call, and generally he manifested to
his newspaper callers a much greater
desire to receive than to give news.

These verses are: "A. The noise of a
