Vienna, Nov. q The hostility be-

cial democrats, which exists in all
parts of Austria and frequently leads
to sharp collisions between the rival
partisans, has resulted in serious riot
ing at Gratz, the capital city of Sty-
ria and the seat of important cotton
and wooden manufactures.
While the Christian socialists were
holding a meeting there today the So
cial democrats forced their way in,
broke UP the meeting and pelted the
Christian socialists with beer glasses.
Some of the invaders threw chairs and
several of the Christian socialists were
badly hurt. The promoters of the meet
ing rushed from the hall and the dis
turbances were continued on the street
outside. The police and military were
summoned but were stoned by the
rioters. They then charged the mob
with fixed bayonets, killing one person
and wounding mary.
Ten of the ringleaders have been ar
rested. Five policemen were badly hurt
during the rioting. Stringent meas
ures have been taken to prevent a re-
currence of the disorders.

QUEER CASE IN NEBRASKA.
Silver Man Talks Gold and Goldbug
Defends Silver.

Omaha dispatch to the Denver News:
a case is on trial before Judge Scott Of
the equity court that promises to carry
to the supreme court the validity of
gold contracts. 1t is entitled Emily r.
Talmage against Anna NJ Althaus ct
al. The suit is brought to foreclose a
mortgage for 81, 900 given by Emily R
Talmage and her husband upo1i certain
property in this county. The legal fight
is due to the fact that by the terms of
the mortgage. the notes that are Sc
cured are made payable in gold coin.
The defendants contend that this
provision causes the notes and mort
gage to be void, as it is contrary to the
laws of the land to provide that a debt
shall provide for its payment anything
other than legal money of the United
States. One feature of the case that
attracts attention is the attorneys and
the positions that they occupy relative
TO political preference.
V. O. Stricken appears for the plain
tiff, and is known throughout the state
as a rampant silverite. In this instance
he is contending for the validity of the
debt. For the defendant j. w. Eller ap-
pears, and both publicly and privately.
he makes no effort to disguise the fact
that ne is a Gold Republican, but in the
case at bar he argues for silver. The
presiding judge is a strong silver man.

QUEER STONE FROM UTAH.
Electric Storage Battery Found in
One of Our Mines.

Denver Republican: One of the most
peculiar stones ever found in a mine is
in the possession of j. G. Kelley of this
city. 1t resembles a piece of agatized
wood, but when taken in a dark room
and a piece of steel drawn lightly over
the surface. it emits a streak of fire eX-
actly similar to that resulting from the
contact Of two live wires. The stone
was found in a mine in Utah about two
years ago, and occurs in a streak lying
next to the ore body and about two
inches wide. The miner who found it
said that every time his pick struck il,
it emitted long flashes of light that
made him afraid, until he became ac-
customed to it. He had shown it to ex-
perienced miners, none of whom were
able to account for it. A blow-pipe as
say resulted in a little button of silica,
the brown matter entirely disappearing
Mr.. Campbell, the electrician. made a
careful examination of the stone. and
expresses the opinion that whatever the
substance may be, it is a natural stor-
age battery The stone responded to all
electric tests, and the pressure of cleo
trio energy in large quantities was
thoroughly demonstrated. Mr.. Campbell
suggested the possibility that at some
time the mineral storage batteries will
be discovered, and electric companies
obtain their electricity directly from
the earth.

| GREAT MINING SYNDICATE
MACKAY, D. O. MILLS AND THE
RoTHSCHILDS.
Has Experts in the Mercur District
and Idaho-Millions of Capital
Behind It.

A special dispatch from New York to
the San Francisco Examiner. dated
Nov. 10, says:
In Wall street today the leading topic
discussed was the alleged formation of
what is said to be the greatest mining
syndicate in the world.
The story, which is quite generally
believed il mining circles. is that a
corporation with millions of capital be-
hind it has been organized for develop
ing mining properties in the United
States and territories and in British
North America.
On this side of the Atlantic. John w.
Mackay. Henry L. Zeiter and D. o.
Mills are reported to be among the
heaviest stockholders, while in Europe,
the ROthschilds, the Duke of Teck and
other mobiles are named as Interested
parties. Rumor makes II. Maitland
Kersey, agent of the White Star line of
ocean steamers, general manager of the
syndicate.
The organization is said to have been
under consideration for more than a
year. and the Klondike discoveries has
tened contamination. For many months
mining experts and prospectorS have
visited many of the richest mining re-
gions on this continent. Their reports
have been of such a favorable charac-
ter that many properties have been
purchased outright and options have
been obtained on many others. These
experts are still at work, and some of
them are now in the Mercur district. in
Utah, in Idaho, California, Arizona,
New Mexico and Alaska.
Mr.. Mackay, when last in New York.
discussed the intentions of the syndi-
cate with some friends. and to one of
them he is reported to have said:

with affluence."

EPOCH IN METHODIST HISTORY
NOTABLE RELIGIOUS CONGRESS
IN PITTSBURG.
Topics of Discussion VIII Be Attract
i've to All Thinkers, Regardless of
Denominational Difference.

Pittsburg, Nov 21.-Pittsburg has,
perhaps, never been the scene of a
more notable religious gathering than
the Methodist Episcopal church con-
gress, which began six-days' session
at Christ's church this morning. In
conception, purpose and treatment, 1t
is unique in ecclesiastical annals, and
marks an epoch insreligious history.
The call for the congress, which was
signed by Bishops Vincent, Ninde and
Fitzgerald and many prominent Meth
odist educators, says:
1.-The congress does not propose to in
vite or favor destructive criticism of
existing institutions, but simply to
bring out from persons representing
different phases of intellectual activity
frank expression as to whether the
church can meet any more fully chan
it does the demands of our times, and,
If so, wherein its activity may be mod
flied or directed to advantage"
The congress will not concern itself
with questions of church policy, but
with issues bearing upon the relation
of the church to thought. and life Of
the people as affected by current scien-
tifc and literary teachings. The con-
gresS will aim to secure an adequate
presentation of the tendencies of cur
rent scientific and literary teachings,
]
service to be rendered by the church
in interpreting those tendencies for the
spiritual and intellectual advantage of
it's followers.
The list of speakers who will attend
the congress includes the names of
many Of the brightest men in the de-
nomination, and the topics announced
for discussion are such as will doubtless
prove attractive to all thinkers without
regard to their UNCONVENTIONAL afhlia-
lions.
Delegates from all parts of the coun-
try will be present during the week.
The inaugural session was suspicious,
and evinced the popular favor with
which the movement has been received.
/ Bishop John Vincent of Chautauqua
flame, who will preside over the con-
| gress, preached this morning to an au-
| dience that packed Christ church to the
doors. His text was: ''Be We doors
of the word and not hearers only, de-
luding your own selves" The sermon,
which occupied almost an hour in its
delivery, was remarkably exhibition
| of pulpit eloquence.
In the afternoon Charles H. Payne,
D. d. OF New York, lectured on THE
I Young Life in the Church..
At o'clock this evening President
Bishop Raymond of Wesleyan univer-
sity of Connecticut, delivered an ad-
dress on THE Christian Home, the
High School and the College" At the
various M E. churches sermons and
! addresses were delivered on The
! Character of Christ for the Life OF
| TODAY"

Lunacv Increasing in Prussia.

The steady increase of insanity in
England has long been attracting at
tention, but it seems from recent
German official return that in this re-
spect Prussia is not a whit behind If,
indeed, it is not tending to fill its lu-
matte asylums at a more rapid rate
than this country. In 1871 the total
number of lunatics in Prussia was
g, 063, in 1880 it had risen to 66,S45, while
in 1896 it had gone up to $3.50. 1t is
curiously interesting to note also that,
it is more marked among men than
among women. OF 100000 Prussian
males it seems 27S are found insane,
but in like number of women only
243. From figures given in the same re-
turn it would seem that blindness is
Diminishing, while the number of deaf
mutes is rather increasing.

soUDANEsE REVOLT.
Led by Mahommedan Tribesmen
They Attack the British.


Zanzibar, East Africa, Nov. 21.-Par-
ticulars have reached here of a revolt
among the Soudanese troops in Major
McDonald's expedition in the lake coun-
try south of the equatorial provinces.
1t appears that the expedition was
advancing into the interior from the
Uganda country from a point, as to
which information is wanting. On Oct.
10 last the mutineers, assisted by $50
Mohammedan tribesmen, attacked the
camp at Usoga. In the fierce fighting
that followed, Lieutenant Fielding, Ma
jor Thurston, Engineer Scott, Civil Cfh-
Ger Wilton and Is soldiers were killed.
The wounded numbered so, including
Captain Macpherson and Chief Civil
officer Jackson. The mutineers FHere
finally elected, after losing 100 killed
and wounded.
Major Mcdonald has been Joined by
the Usoga native army, and it is
| hoped that he will be able to quell the
mutiny after few weeks. A detach-
ment of Indian troops from Mombaza
will start Immediately to reinforce Ma
| jor Mcdonald.
Major McDonald's expedition left XII
kuay, east of the Victoria Nyanza, to-
ward the end of last August. 1t then
! included ten officers and about 1900
men, among whom were 30 Sikhs. Ma
| jor McDo2ald took with him an i'm
mense quantity of wagons, bullocks and
camels, as well as several Maxims. The
1 British officers evidently intended to re-
~ in fighting upon the Sikhs and Max
! inns
The leader of the expedition, Major
Mcdonald has had many years of ex-
! perience in Uganda and has frequently
aided Captain Frederick Lugar during
disturbances there. He left early last
summer for Kikuay. 1t was then un-
derstood that he intended to ascend the
Juba river on behalf of the British gov
eminent, but it has since been reported
that his real goal was the upper reaches
of the White Nile, in the hope of fore
stalling French expeditions, which are
i believed TO be moving in that direc-
! ton.

TRIAL OF LYNCHERs.
Verdict Expected Tomorrow-Lead-

Verdict Expected Tomorrow-Lead-
ing Topic in Mexico.
City of Mexico, Nov. 21.-The trial
of the policemen and officials of police
who took an active part in the killing
of Arroyo, the would-be assassin Of
President Diaz, draws to a close and
the verdict is expected tomorrow. Great
crowds have attended and it has been
difficult TO prevent the packing of the
court room in the palace of justice
Members of all grades of society
have been present and perfect order
has prevailed. The accused realize the
seriousness of their position and the
prisoners van is called when they are
taken from the court, showing the
strength of the public feeling against
them. Last night the prisoners were
kept in the palace of justice SO great
were the crowds in the street awaiting
the appearance of the van. The pris-
oners are well guarded and mob can
not get at them.
The case goes TO the jury in the
morning and it is expected they will
take ten hours to arrive at verdict
Popular belief is that most of the
eleven men for whom the prosecutor
asks capital sentence will be con-
demned to be shot. no case has ever
attracted more attention here and the
trial has been eminently fair, the pris-
oners being allowed every opportunity
to present the extenuating circum-
stances
