AUSTRIA MAKES COMPLAINT
Wants the Recent Hazleton Tragedy 1nves-
tigated.
Request of the State DEPARTMENT
Transmitted by Secretary sher-
man to Gov. Hastings.

Secretary of State Sherman has SEPT the
following letter to Gov. Hastings of Penn
sylvania:
His excellency. the Austrian minister.
has filed communication with this de-
partment, representing that in the COM
menwealth of Pennsylvania. near Hazieton,
on the 10th o. September, 1897, confic I
took place between the sheriff of Luzerne
county, supported by an armed force, and
certain striking workmen; that in that con-
f1ict ten Austrian and Hungarian subjects
were killed and eleven more wounded: also
that of the other wounded men there are
some twenty-three in hospitals whose
names would seem to indicate that they
are of Austrian or Hungarian birth.
according to the representations Of the
minister, the victims of this catastrophe
were guilty of no acts of violence, nor in
any opposition to local authority which
might justify the measures taken against
them 1t is also claimed by the minister
that number of the deceased were fired
upon without cause, and while in retreat,
and that these acts constitute violation
OF the rights of Austrian subjects.
1T Is represented on the part of the Aus
trian government that these subjects suf-
tered death and grievouS wounds not in
unlawful opposition TO the authorities of
Pennsylvania, but by reason of unwarrant-
ed and unlawful use of power by the sher-
III OF Luzerne county of your state.
THE Austrian government, through its
minister, has requested this department. to
bring the matter to the proper authority
that it may be thoroughly investigated and
the result communicated to that govern
ment
will you be kind enough to report to
this department the facts in the matter
ard the status of affairs in relation to
these cases, together with ssch inforn.a- :
ton and suggest tions as may be deemed
pertinent by you, in order that the request
of the Austrian minister may be complied
with and such action taken as may he

STILL ANOTHER CHANGE.

Gen. Crafghfll May BE Selected for
the Nicaragua Continuation.
1t Is now stated that another change is to
be made in the composition of the Nicara-
guam canal commission, and again in the
place set apart for the engineer member of
the body. Since the commission was ap-
pointed no less than five. army engineer
officers have either been appointed 10 this
place or have been invited to accept it..
First there was Capt. Carter, who was
obliged to relinquish the place because of
the pendency of charges against him in
Savannah. Then Major Leach declined it.
Next Major Powell was called over from
Pittsburg only to find that the place was
one that he was scarcely able to fill for
physical reasons. Captain Rossell from
Mobile did not want the place, and last
came Major Livermore. from Boston His
appointment was announced from the
White House, but it is row said that some
dinhcuity has arisen and that the place is
again open. The list of available engineer
ofncers is being scanned, and as recourse
has been had to the retired list it has been
suggested that the choice will fall on Gen.
w. +. CraiShill, late chief of engineers.
who stands in the first rank of practical
engineers and Is in excellent physical con-
Gition.

FEAR SALISHURY'S ANSWER.
London Papers Greatly Agitatcd Owe
the Silver Question.

LONDON, October 1i.-An the afternoon
newspapers today published editorial arti-
cles urging the British cabinet at its meet
ing Saturday to give the coup d'grace to
all rumors OF any intention upon the part
of the government to tamrer with the
currency
The Westminster Gazette in it's financial
article, says:
THE pardering to the bimetalic fad in
which the city has reason to believe the
government is secretly indulging, in ac-
cordance with its political policy of grace
f.Il sessions, has aroused untold anxiety
IN business circles, which has been voiced
in the letter of protest signed by a ma
jority of the leading men of the city, eX-
pressing their grave objections to any
movement by tine government in the direc-
tion of bimetallism''
In conclusion, the article says: 'It is in
conceivable that the government should
prove fa;uous enough to yield to the Yam
kee silver agitators without consulting and
taking the weighty advice of the business
community"

America Against England.

Last week Bishop Doanc, of the
Albany diocese, delivered a ser
mon on the hatred felt By Amcri
cans against England. in which
he deprecated such feeling from
thc depths of his heart, He could
not account for the animosity eX-
listing between the two nations
which have so many interests in
common. The rejection of the ar
bitration treaty seems to have
been the cause of the inspiration
which got the better of the bish-
ops undoubted knowledge Of the
causes which justify the American
people in regarding England as
their greatest enemy and dealing
with her as such in every nego-
tiation. The school books may or
may not have tendency to create
such feelings in the minds of
young Americans 8s Bishop
Doane pretended, but we are daily
witnessing such agGressions and
acts of duplicity aas bad faith as
those which the iathers of the
Revolution and resented and
wiped out with their hearts
blood. What England formerly
did by her arms against the colo
nies, she is now doing against us
b. her money and her subiu.
ton Of nations by gold; and the
terrible cruelties she inflincts
through avarice and greed put
her outside Of the pale of hu.
manity.
