MISS LINCOLN'S ELOPEMENT.

The Dau: hter of Robert T. Lincoln Goes to
Milwaukee to Marry Her Sweetheart.
Chicago, November 1.-THE Times
Herald this morning says:
Miss Jessie Lincoln, daughter of
Robert T. Lincoln, and Warner Beck
with, young business man Of Mount
Pleasant, Iowa, were married at Mil
waukee.
A year ago young Beckwith and Miss
Lincoln became sweethearts while the
young woman was visiting at Mount
Pleasant, the home of her mother.
Capt. Beckwith, father of the groom,
is a warm friend of the Lincoln fam
lily, but the young man, it is said, was
objected to strongly. The affair, it
was thought, was then broken UP.
Mrs. Beckwith returned to her home
on the Lake Shore Drive last night,
and upon being questioned admitted
her marriage.

Berlin, November 1.-THE German
warship Geffon is under orders to sail
for Port-au-Prince, Hayti, this month
in order to insist upon redress for the
arrest there of Herr Lueders, German
subject, and his unlawful impr sonment,
for which Count Schwering, the German
minister at Port-au-Prince, has de-
manded an indemnity. The officials of
the German foreign Office do not believe
the matter will be adjusted for some
time to come because the Haytien gov
eminent has assumed stubborn atti-
tude. The German newspapers are
blaming the government for the delay
in bringing Hayti to terms.
The German version of this affair is
that Lueders was sentenced to pay a
fine Of $4S and to undergo a months i'm
prisonment for resisting a policeman,
which Lueders denies. Thereupon he
demanded a second trial, obtained it
and witnesses testified that they had net
seen MIN Strlke the policeman, out IN
spite of this Lueders was resentenced,
this time to pay fine of $500 and to un-
dergo years Imprisonment.
After Lueders' second trial the Ger
man minister took the matter in hand,
and on October II he went to the presi-
dent Of Hayti, AuguSdin Simon Sam.
President Sam at first refused to grant
the minister's demand and Lueders re-
manned in prison six days longer.
Thereupon the German minister noti-
fed the Haytien government that he
had hauled down his flag, and had sent
the archives of the German legation to
the legation of the United States, thus
severing all diplomatic relations with
the government of Hayti.

I Havana, November 11.-Captain-
announcing that he has decided to fur
nish all the protection necessary TO
bring about a resumption of general
planting, harvesting and reconstruc-
ton throughout the country, especially
in the case of the sugar crop. He fur
Their DEGREES that the authorities OF the
island are to lend unconditional sup
port to the proprietors of farms in the
efforts of the latter to gather their
crops and tend their cattle. The civil
authorities are instructed to encourage
to the utmost those who wish to grind
sugar cane, and to offer them assur-
ances and the necessary military forces
to protect themselves and their prop
erty The regions where agriculture
is more extended will be especially pro-
vided for. The authorities are author
lied to assist even those who are be
hind in their taxes and to do their
utmost to increase the commercial ia
eilities of the planters.
All war measures are abrogated il
regard to agricultural implements,
machinery, etc., and the right of the
railway to charge 20 per cent. on all
freight carried is also done away with.
The government officials throughout
the island are instructed to faithfully
comply with these instructions, and
they are notified that if they snow
themselves deserving they will be re-
warded in accordance with the degree
of zal they have manifested in pushing
the work of bringing about recon-
struction of the island of Cuba.
Marshal Blanco has abrogated the or
ders of his predecessor as to the de-
struction of the fields and huts of the
insurgents. He has also cancelled the
prohibitions by which the Spanish SOL
diery has been prevented from camp
ing in the towns. The new orders di-

No fewer than $4,000 sick soldiers are
now in the hospitals of the island. To-
day the mail steamer Isla de Panay
which left Havana for Spain, carried
sixty-eight officers and 500 sick SOL
diers.

TIE SEAL QUESTION

Under Discussion by Representatives of
Canada. En- gland and the United states.
Washington November BE eQre
the Boring sea conference opened to-
day the officials and ladies of the party
inspected the new Congressional Ii
brary.
To-day's conference began at II
o'clock with a full representation OF
the British, Canadian and American
officials. For the first time the sta
tistics of the catch of seals for the
present year was available. These
were compiled by the American officials
and brought out prominently two fea-
lures which were regarded as most i'm
pcrtant in supporting the American
contention, namely, that the catch had
fallen off about one-half during the
present season, showing conclusively in
the opinion of the American experts
that the seal herd was being rapidly
wiped out; and, second, that the catch
of seals from the American islands in
Bering sea was about fifteen to one as
between the Canadian sealers under
the British flag and American sealers
the same proportion was shown to exist
throughout the waters of the North
Pacific.
In detail the figures for this seasons
catch, now made available for the first
time, are as follows:
Total catch of seals in the North
Pacific for the present season, 3S,700.
against $4,000 last year The total
catch this year is divided as follows:
taken by British vessels, $500; by
American vessels, 400; by Japanese
vessels, $780, The catch In Boring
sea, which is that portion of the North
Pacific in which the United States is
interested, is 1850 for the present
season, against 29,500 last season,
reduction of about one-half. OF the
catch in Boring sea, British vessels
took 1860; American vessels, 1850.
The figures make no distinction be-
tween British and Canadian vessels,
as practically all the sealing is done by
Canadian vessels which, however, are
nominally classed as British.
The falling off of about one-half of
the total catch, both in Boring sea and
the North Pacific, is said to be most
significant in view OF the circum-
stances. The present season is a bet
ter one, the experts say, for the taking
of seals than last season. The same
regulations apply this season as last.
Under these circumstances, it is said
that the conclusion to be drawn from
this years figures Is that the seal herd
has been greatly reduced by indis
criminate slaughter at the alarming
rate of about one-half in the last year.
The report of Prof Lucas upon the
habits OF the seal was read, as We're
also the reports OF Messrs. Jordan,
Thompson and Maeoun. The papers
led to considerable discussion.

14-year-old colored girl, who graduated

Back of a Big Scheme for Carrying
Freight and Passengers to the
Klondike.

New York, November 1.-THE States
Steamship Company has been formed
under the laws of New Jersey with .
capital of s70OO,000, and with Charles
H. Cramp, president of the Cramp
Shipbuilding Company, as its presi-
dent. The new company has complet-
ed ARRANGEMENTS by which it acquires
from the International Navigation
Company the five steamers Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Illinois and Cone
maugh, and others will soon be added
to the fleet.
President Cramp was at the Waldorf
tonight and said that these steamers
will be sent around to the west coast
as soon as possible, and will probably
run regularly from San Francisco or
Seattle to ST. Michaels. The Ohio will
be the first steamer to sail and will
leave in December, to be followed by
four others, all leaving by March l..

from Philadelphia. Mr.. Cramp says
that the lack of transportation facil-
tiles to the Klon6ike experienced last
spring and summer, when all the avail
able boats were overcrowded and could
not carry third Of the possible pas
sengers and freight, led to the forma-
ton Of this new company.

New York November 11.-At a ban
quet tonight by the Nineteenth Cen
fury Club, Governor Pingree was the
principal speaker. =
Governor Pingree spoke of Results
of Ten Years of Municipal Progress"
The Governor reviewed his connec-
ton with municipal affairs of Detroit
as Mayor during the past seven years.
Il take some pride" continued he,
"in saying that at the end of nearly
eight years as Mayor, Detroit is con-
ceded to be one of the most beautiful
cities in the United States. 1t has it's
own electric lighting plant and is mag
nificently illuminat ]. A splendid cleo
trio street railway system has been es-
tablished; the old companies have been
forced to sell tickets at six for quar-
ter, with transfers; new company,
carrying 40 per cent of the passengers
is selling eight tickets for a quarter
with Transfers; all the companies have
been compelled to sell workingmen's
tickets during certain hours at three
cents; an opposition telephone COM
pany has been established, by which
rates have been reduced more than 70
per cent; more than two hundred and
thirtyfive miles of modern pavement
has been laid; the parks have all been
improved. | found that over 25 per
cent of the children could not attend
school on account of no buildings to
accommodate them. We built thirty
three school houses. With all this the
rate of taxation has not materially in
creased.
How long can a government last
which increases constantly the burdens
Of the industrial class and gives it to
those who prey upon the bone and
sinew Of the nation? Here in New York,
| fear that my remarks may not be
well received, but l hope and believe
that self-government by the people, and
for the people, has not reached that
stage which all men who love liberty
hope it will eventually reach.
1T is the duty of the government
to protect the weak against the strong,
wealth. ] say right here, that unless
the Republican party comes out as a
champion of the average man and his
welfare, and unless it ceases to cater
to syndicates, trusts and monopolies,
it will be buried in oblivion

Philadelphia, November IA man,
apparently Frenchman of position and
refinement, whose Identity has not yet
been clearly established, committed sui
eide late this afternoon at Green's ho-
tel, Eighth and Chestnut streets, by in
haling Illuminating gas.
He was about 50 years old. He came
to the hotel on last Tuesday and in
bold hand signed the register as will
liam Rosseau, tour 81"
His appearance was that OF well
educated man and his clothing was of
excellent quality. He was shown to
room on the second floor.
But ,i,;le attention was paid to his
coming and going until this afternoon,
when some of the hotel people detected
a strong odor of gas.
1t was traced to Rosseau's rooom, and
when the door was forced he was found
lying on the bed, dead. He had taken
the utmost core not to allow the deadly
fluid to escape from the room. The win
dows and doors and every other aper-
allure was stopped up with blankets and
sheets. On the bureau was found a
sealed letter, bearing the following
written in English In case of any ac-
cident to me, will finder of this be kind
enough to send it to the French consul
of which town | shall stay at the time. y
Then came the words: ITO M. LIE
French Consul"
In a case ON the bureau was hand
someiy mounted pistol, while trunk
in the room bore the initials, IN. F." In
the room were found a number of pho
tographs of himself and what was ap-
parently bill for them. This was dated
New York and was from See & Ehler,
292 Fifth avenue The bill was made
out in the name of IN. Kampf," and
was receipted for $40. The mans cloth
in NV
of books were found about the room
which had evidently been purchased
in various cities in Canada, most Of
them being views.

Holgate, Ohio, November II. - Word
reached this city this evening from Oak
wood, Ohio, hamlet fifteen miles
south, of an outrage perpetrated last
night by white caps upon two girls,
Edith and May Roberts, aged 10 end II
years.
Ten days ago the young ladies' receiv-
ed white cap notice warning them to
leave the town and county, but they had
paid no attention to the notice. Las
evening they retired early and during
the night they were awakened by band
Of eight or ten men entering their
rooms and dragging them from their
road, where they were terribly whipped
with a cato nine tails, which was
found in the road this morning. After
beating the two girls, the white caps
gave them a coat CT tar and feathers,
and took them back to the house, where
they were found unconscious this morn
ing by people passing by.
May the youngest of the two girls, is
in critical condition, her flesh being
cut to the bone by the whip.
A card containing ten names was
found tackled to the front door, but none
of the names are known about that
place. -
Bloodhounds were placed upon the
trial of the white caps, but owing to
heavy rains and the trampling of humid
reds of people about the scene, the ami
mas were unable to follow the scent.
No other clue can be found.
