The recent dreadful disaster on the
New York Central railway has brought
to light the fact that during the whole
of last year not one passenger was killed
on that line, which in the time stated
carried over 100000 persons. Fifteen
were injured during the year, but of
these at least eight suffered from their
own fault and none was injured in COL
Iision or derailment.

''Old Moore's Almanac" published in

forecasts of important events, and
claims to have made some big hits in it's
vaccinations. For 1898 it predicts that
there will be terrible civil war in the
United States; that the car of Russia
will die; that the young king of Spain
will be kidnapped, and that on or about
the second week of November of that
year communication will be established

Bishop Gaines, of Georgia, makes the
startling prediction that the entire At
rican race on the American continent
is gradually becoming bleached out, and
that in the process of years the black
face will disappear. Prof. Starr, Of the
University of Chicago, says that the
Caucasian race in North America is
gradually changing it's characteristics
to- those of the aboriginal Indians.
There is evidently something wrong
with climate and social evolution that
prevents any race of people from re-
maining in status quo, and we anxiously
await the next session Of the interna-
tional scientists to hear all about it.

beat retreat with nothing to show

Death was almost instantaneous. Mrs.

being taken to prevent; the prisoner
from carrying out threats to suicide,

RIO JANERiO IS QUIET.


Part of 4 Plot.
Rio Janeiro, Nov. S.-There is gen
eral belief here that the attempt to kill
President Moraes was the result of 4
conspiracy headed by monarchical plot
tiers. Whether the conspirators planned
the death of Gen. Bethencourt, the min
lister of war, who was shot and killed as,
he stood beside the president. remains
to be seen, but there are reasons to be-
lieve that they did. Rio Janeiro. in
view of the remarkable excitement
which followed the deed, is unusually
4niet~ In the meantime, however, every
precaution is being taken to protect the
president, as it is feared another at
tempt on his life may be made. A strong
guard has been placed around his resi-
dence.
Several persons have been arrested in
connection with the crime. The SOL
der who tried to kill the president,
however, still declines to give any rea-
son for his crime. All efforts to make
him talk have proved fruitless.
Ell Diario, the official organ of the
government, publishes manifesto
from President Moraes, which declares
that. while he is affected as man and
rs Brazilian by the attempt on his
life and the murder of Gen. Bethen-
court, he is firmly resolved to fulfill his
duty as he sees it. He pays tribute
to the layalty and bravery of Gen.
Bethencourt. This manifesto made q
good impression on the people. There
is great popular Indignation, as the gov
eminent has received the support Of he
better element in Rio Janeiro.
The funeral of Marshal Bethencourt.
minister of war, took place Saturday.

the remains to the cemetery and was

SEALING 7 REATY Is SIGNED.
Russia. Japan and the United States
Form . ComDact.

Russia, Japan and the United states
Form = Compact.
Washington. Nov. s. Only the formal
action Of the senate is now required to
make Russia and Japan alliesso of the
United States for the joint protection
Of the seals in Behring sea. A treatyto
that end was signed at the state depart.
ment at noon Saturday by representa-
tives of the three governments named,
and it will become effective when rati-
fled by the senate. The treaty was
signed in the large diplomatic room at
the state department. The usual
formalities attended the action OF the
negotiators, who were: $50
For the United States-Messrs. Foster,
Hamlin and Jordan.
For Russia-Messrs. De Wollant, Bot
kline and Routkowsky.
For Japan-Messrs. Matsai, Fujai and
7 Nutsikuri. ..sGs -'.sg.
There were three copies of the docu-
ment, one for. each ma ton represented,
and the delegates of each nation signed
their own copy first. The sealing Of the
documents was attended to by Mr.. De
Wollant, the charge of the Russian gov
eminent, and William Gwynne, the lat
ter being an expert in this line, having
sealed almost every treaty negotiated
here since the treaty of Washington.
With the affxing Of the seals in wax
the formalities concluded, and there
was an exchange of congrat ulations
over the consummation of the work.
The text of the treaty will not be
given out by the state department I'M
til final notifications are exchanged
AS the document must 60 to; the SEN
ate for approval, custom requires
that it he withheld from publica ticns in
this manner. It is said. however, BY
those concerned, that the general pur-
poses of the treaty have been already out
lined in the press, and it is likely that
all of further interest that remains in
the document is the exact nature Of the
additional restrictions that are to be
imposed upon pelagic sealing.
1t is expected that the meeting of
British and American experts will take
place this week, according to the orig
inal programme. unless there should
be some Intervention from the British
foreign office, which is not anticipated.
Meanwhile the British expert, Prof.
Thompson. who is now in Washington.
will be acquainted with what has al
ready been accomplished by the gov
eminent of the United States. Russia
and Japan and with the terms of the
treaty.
London, Nov. s.-The British officials
regard the prompt agreement arrived at
between the United States, Russia and
Japan, providing for a temporary sus-
pension of pelagic sealing, as vindica-
ton of their refusal to enter into the
conference and as demonstration Of
their contention that an understanding
existed between the three countries. 1t
is not likely that Great Britain will con-
sent to stop sealing. Her majesty's gov
eminent confidently expects a settle
mcnt of the question by the United
States purchasing the Canadian in
terests.
