dixie ON EUROPEAN POL
TICS.

London, Nov. IL. - In the
course of a speech at Sheffield
last night Sir Chales Dixie, the
well known authority on inter-
national politics, said that Eng
land had recently rejected a pro-
posal by the three great powers
to partition China. He also said
that the alleged recent inspec-
ton of the fort of the Darde-
nelles by a Russian general, was
by order of the Russian govern
ment and that therefore it was
probable that Russia would re-
gard a British attack on the Oar
danelles as a caucus belli.

COXEY,S NEW UTOPIA.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. III.
s. Coxey, of common-weal fame,
is on the ground floor with a new
doctrine for 1900. 1t is plat
form which declares for the de-
monetization of gold as well as
silver, state ownership of all rail
roads, highways, waterways and
telegraph and telephone lines;
municipal ownership of all street
car lines, waterworks, market
houses, electric light and gas
plants, employment of surplus
labor in public work, women's
suffrage, state control OF the Ii
quor traffic and the election of
president by direct vote of the
people. Coxey called a confer
ence of all friends for initiative
and referendum, and to adver
tise the above principles of gov
eminent. He believes national
banks should loan money to the
people at cost, and this principle,
he says, will be Incorporated in a
platform to be adopted in the
Lindell hotel, st. Louis, Jan. 2,
1897.

FISHING SMACK MISSING.

New York, Nov. lit is gen
orally believed in marine circles
that the fishing smack, w. w.
Storey, which sailed from this
city with a crew of twelve men
on Sept. %, has met with a dis
aster. On Oct. u she was OBJ
served running off shore, near
AbiscOmb, with no sail left. Later
one of her boats was found on
the beach near there. 1t appear
ed to have been washed ashore,
and there was no indication that
it had been used by any of the
crew in reaching land.
1t is believed that she was
caught in the equinoctial storms
that ragged about the middle of
October and shattered.
None of the fishermen in this
vicinity have heard of her or
believed that any of the men
who sailed on her were saved.
The members of the crew, who
had been engaged for the trip on
ly, nearly all lived in Brooklyn.
Their families have abandoned
all hope of their safety and are
mourning them as lost.

gan in the Dakotas two or three
days ago and now extends near
ly all over the northwest, but a
mild temperature in this vicinity

TRUTH ON CARRIERS TRAIL.

London, Nov. 11.-Truth has
an article covering a page and a
half headed "The Munchausen
of Monkeyland," dealing with
Prof. Garner, who claims to have
distinguished words in a monkey
language, and with his book, re-
peating the old charges made by
Truth of imposture and declaring
that the whole story of Prof.
Gamers adventures among the
gorillas is an impudent hum
bug. The article suggests that
the French missionaries at Fer
nandez, to whom it is alleged,
Prof. Garner gave a promissory
note for 500 francs for board and
lodging, should secure a judg-
ment in England on the unpaid
bill and should attach the pro-
ceeds of his books.
Truth concludes that this
would set at rest for ever the
question of where Prof. Garner
really spent those hundred days
and nights.

LABOR DEMANDS
RECOGNITION ON THE GRAND
JURIIs OF NEW YORK.
Causes Which Led to the Demand-The
District Attorneys Office is Dis
turbed About Il.

New York, Nov. 1.-The
World this morning says: The
knights of Labor and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, through
their officers, have demanded a
revision of the lists from which
the grand juries of the country
are selected. The labor Organi-
cations allege that too many cap
italists and too few workingmen
are on the lists to insure justice.
Both the organizations yester-
day sent to the board of com.
merce of grand jurors, a memo
rial containing a list of members
of the two organizations which
it is claimed are eligible as grand
jurors. A demand was made
that these men be placed on the
lists to represent labors interests.
This action of labor represeta-
tives created excitement in the
offices of the board of commerce.
Maj. Plimny, who acts as secre-
tary of the board. called on AS
sistant District Attorney Battle
and had a long conversation
with him concerning the demand.
Neither gentlemen would discuss
the action, preferring that the
matter be first submitted to the
board of commerce of grand
jurors.
The memorials are the result
of a careful wtching of the doings
of the grand jury for several
months by members of the two
organizations. The disposition
of cases involving corporations
before the grand jury was follow
ed with interest. A few weeks
ago Secretary Kelly, of District
Assemble 40, wrote to District
Attorney Fellows, inclosing a
list of over % persons killed on
the tracks of the New York Cen
trail railroad within the city linn
it's and asking what steps had
been taken by the district attor-
ney toward making this company
provide better safeguards for the
preservation of human life. The
men killed, Mr.. Kelly said, were
mainly employed by the company.
District Attorney Fellows,
through his secretary, Henry
Munger, replied to this state
ment saying that the cases and
been submitted to several grand
iuries, who, after investigation,
had dismissed the complaints.
This reply angered the members
of District Assembly No. 40, and
when the matter was considered
in executive session it was unan-
imously decided to employ coun-
sci and if necessary to compel
the representation of the labor
ing classes on the grand jury.
When the grand jury for this
month was sworn in by Judge
Newberger and the list disclosed
that all selected were wealthy
men, the matter was brought to
a head and the memorial and
| demand agreed mon,

Without delay Gen. Weyler
with his staff crossed the town of

ing about a kilometer on the
highway. The general was on
foot and reviewed the troops
there. Arriving at the end of the
line he stopped to salute the vet
eran officer, Col. Echarriria. The
town of Mariel showed it's joy by

MONG THE STARS.
LOWELL OBSERVATORY GOES TO
THE CITY OF MEXICO.
Very Important and Interesting Work
Done By the Astronomers in
Arizona.

Flagstaff, Ariz., Nov. Little
work of the Lowell observatory
has ended here and proposals for
its removal to the City of Mexico
are about complete. The Observ-
atory was established at Flag
staff in 1884, and work of such
Importance was done within the
next week that Prof. Lowell saw
the great advantages to be gain
ed by a large glass, the one then
in use being equipped with an
eighteenth-inch lens. On Aug.
16, 1896, new 16 lens glass was
set up. The observers then turn
en- their attention to Mars and
aided much in settling disputes
about that planet. The result of
their work has made the staff of
astronomers famous. Several
hundred drawings were made of
Mars, the result of which have
established the fact that it is COW
cred with an extensive system of
canals, arranged in an artificial
manner as if they were the work
of intelligent beings.
An important discovery anet
Mercury and Venus was made
by Prof. Lowell and Mr.. Drum,
who took observations of these
planets in the day time. These
two astronomers have been able
not only to make maps of their
surfaces, but to prove cOnclu-
sively that the bodies rotate only
once in the course of a revolution
about the sun. One side of the
planet therefore is turned to-
ward the sun and heated to an
immense temperature, the other
being envelloped in darkness.
The drawing by Mr.. Lowell has
settled the question about the ro-
tation of Mercury and Venus,
which have been partly studied
by Schiarapelli some years ago.
Mr.. LowelPs discovery establish
es the fact that Mercury has no
appreciate atmosphere, and that
Venus has an abundance of it
though she possesses very few
clouds. Drawings of the discov-
cries have been forwarded to the
Royal Astronomical society in
London by request. DR.. T. j. Sea
and Mr.. Conner have used the new
telescope on the southern divis-
ion of stars, and it is announced
that since August they have dis
covered Is new stellar systems,
besides measuring 100 stars re-
cognized by previous observers.
On reaching Mexico City DIR.
Sea will continue his search for
new double stars, opportunities
for new discovery being very
good in this southern latitude.
This expedition is receiving the
attention of the astronomers of
the world, who are keenly alive
to the importance of the move
ment. President Diaz, of the
Mexican government; has active
ly interested himself in this
movement, and has not only
welcomed them but has instruct
ed the national observatory to
furnish every possible aid to
them in their work. Scientific
men look upon this enterprise as
the most enterprising of the cen
fury.
