ITS RECIPROCITY THEY WANT
British Colonies ResoIute to That Effect-They
 Want It Bad.

Washington, Sept. 27.-sir Julian Pauneefote, the British amIbassad is expected to return here from his Lon- don trip about Oct. 15, notwithstanding repouts that he would not be lack in time for the Behring sea conference. The staff of the British embassy now at Manchester-by the-Sea will return next week, and according to present plans the entire British representation will be here when the sealing conference is held.
 With the return of Sir Julian it is be- iieved steps will be taken by the British authorities TO negotiate reciprocity treaties under the new ealdff law between The United States and Br1.ish American colonies. Word reaches here dlhat Sir Au- gustus Hernming, governor general of British Guina, has urged the authorities at London to effect reciprocity arrange ments with the United States. and in support of iths the legislature of the col ony adorIted the Following resolutions:
 His excellency, the governor-general, is respectfully requested to cause in- quiries to be made in connection with the reciprocity clause in the new tariff bill of the United Stsl,es as to the ex- pediency of entering into any arrange ments which will assure the admission of the sugar product eff the colony on the most favorable ternls.''
 It was urged in support elf this resolu- tfon that the sugar irldustry of the col ony was dependent on the United States market, wftfch takes Fl per cent. of the entire produdt Sir Cavendish Boyle, the assistant colonial secretary, said this view had lbeen presented to the colonial secretary, Joserh Chamberlain, and it was new expected that the British rep resenlta tives at Washington would be asked to look after the interests of the British colonies in this particular. A reciprocity treaty would peamit reduc- ton of duty on the sugar of Guiana of about 35 cents on 100 pounds. Under iuhe British colonial treaties in behalf of the colonies must be made by the im- perial g'overnmenh. It is believed that if reciprocity treaties are begun in be half of Bldtish Guinana and other south ern colonies it will lead to similar ne- gotiations for Canada, where the liberal ministry is favorable to reciprocity.

Killing the Engineer and Fatally Injurng the
 Fireman-Accident Mystery

Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 27.-Engineer Bennett Mitchell was kilisd and Fire man John s. Cawley seriously injured this morning by the explosion of To- comotive on the Northern Central rail- way at Georgetown, a few miles north residents of Harrisburg and had been in the passenger service of the company for many years. Mitchell was thrown up the side of g. mountain a distance of sixty feet and was dead when found. Fireman Cawley was hurled in an op- posite direction, almost to the edge of the Susquehenna river. He was so bad fly scalded that it is thought he will die. He was removed to the Sudbury hos pital.
 The wrecked roconpdtive came out of the shops Saturday after an overhaul ing and the railroad officials cannot now account for the explosion. The boil CT was blown 150 feet and alighted on a mountain side, which rises at an an- gle of sixty degrses from the track. The trucks were thrown into ths river and the tender on the bank.
 All the cars except the rear Pullman sleeper were derailed. None of ths pas- sengers were injured, although several were badly shaken up.
 The explosion occurred opposite a switch box which wais blown to kindling wood and the watchman badly injured. Both tracks for distance of 150 yards were torn up and telegraphis communi- cation and travel was suspended for several hours.

FROM A SPANISH VIEW.
Atrocities at Victoria de las Tunas Committed
 by Insurgents.

Havana, Sept. 27.-Allelred details of the capture of Victoria de las Tunas, province of Santiago de Cuba, have been issued by the government here. They say that after the Spanish troops sur rundered the insurgents began pIunder- ing the stores and private residences and committed many brutal acts upcn women and girls, mot even respecting the sisters of Gen. Vicente Garcia" an insurgent leader of the last war. An aged woman named Nicolas is said to alave saved dfer life by throwing her jewelry to the negroes and thereby es- caping.
 Continuing the official report says:
 From then commenced the horrib,est murder of eighteen volunteers and many innocent children. Pedro SaTlses saw his three months old child cut down with madhetes, and after Ramon Rubis saw dhis two sons treated in the same man. ner. Then an inSurgent who had sur rendered opened his veins and the feet of a guide of the Spanish troops were burned off and the man was afterwards killed with machettes. The insurgen 8 also tortured and killed soldier who was nearly blind, after killing his son only Il years of age, by burning ms feet. Madame Fernado Bodano ard her two boys were decapitated as was also a police inspector, Machado Ramon Diaz, whose Eegs were first cut off and after wards his arms. The widow of Dr. Trisk was tortured by having fire ap- piled to the lower part of her bcdy so as to oblige her to deliver up her money to the insurgents A sacristran namTd Camilo was hanged by the wrists until dead.
 It is impossible to relate the many other brutaHties committed upon wo- men and girls.
 Cyclonc weather, accompanied by lheayy rain, tlas caused an alarming rise of the rivers Las Jejas, Maboa and Almendires and the canal De Vento, this province, which have overflown their banks.
 The town of Jesus Del Monte is partly under water and the bridge of Aeua Del Monte and several at Moboa have been destroyed. Mary lives have been lost through the floods.

TW0-SlDED VERDICT
Of the Coroner's Jury in the Case of the Butch
 cred Miners.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 27.-The coroner 8 jury which Investigated the deuth of the striking miners at Latimer met in Deputy Coroner Cowanis office this aft ernoon, and after an hours dalJberation rendered the Following verdict:
 @'Thak from the circumstances of the case and the evidence furnished the said Clement R1atock and others came to their deaths by gunshot wounds on Sept. IT at the hands of Sheriff James Martin and his deputies, and in ,h.s we, the jury, do all agree, and w. P. Boyle, Thomas T. Thomas, Barton Freas and Peter Me- Kferran, of this jury, do further say, that the sad Clement PIatock, win oh CTS, was marching peacefully and un- armed on the public highway; that they were intercepted by the said Sheriff NIatrin and his depu .ies and mercilessly shot to death, and we do further find that the killing was unnecessarily and could 7lave been avoided without seri- ous injury to either person or property and we find finally that the killing was wanton and unjustiffaIble; but in this we, George Mau and J. F. McNeal, of the jury, do not coincide; and we, the jury, do further say that there was such strong suspicion of unlawful violence ak the hands of the person or persons un- known to this jury as to make this in- quest necessary"

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Agricultural Department to Make Further ln-
 yestigation as to Results.

Washington, Sept. 27.-SecretaIy Will son of the agricultural department has secured an order from the postoffce department permitting the agsnts of the agricultural department to attach the department frank to packages of sugar beet seed to be sant from growers to the exper,m mt stations throughout the country for analysis. Last spring the agricultural department sent sugar beet seed to farmers in twenty-sevsn states. It is now the intention to test the be:ts grown from thsee seeds in the various localities for saccharine strength and it is desired that this work shall be con- ducte,d at the experimental stations. Under the arrangements made today with the postofflce depaIItnent the off cers at the experimental stations will be allowed to send postal franks to all farmers to whom they supplied seeds by the use of which they can send throgth the mails free of cost packages of bedt seed not exceeding four pounds in weight.
 Returns have been received from some of the experimental growths and Secretary Wilson said today that the results wera such as to encourage the belief thalt sugar could be successfully grown in almosib all states of the union. Contrary to his expectations the best results have been received from the south rathsr than from the north. Beets grown in the vicinity of Rich mond, Va, give returns of 13 to IS per cent of saccharine matter and from the Pecos Valley in New Mexico of from

EXAMINATIONS POSTPONED.
Civil Service Greatly Hampered by Enforced
 Quarantine in the South.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Owing to ahe yellow fever scare in the south the plans of the civil service commission have been seriously interfered with. About a month ago a number of civil service examiners were sent out all over the country, and Messrs. Fred Wana- maker and L. c. Cornwell, who were making the southern tour, have nar-ow- ly escaped being quara ntined. To avoid further complications the civil service commission to-day issued the following:

HENRY GEORGE FOR MAYOR.
Free Lilyer and Bryan Clubs Hoist His Name at
 the Mast Head.

New York, Sept. 27.-The most impor- tant development in the Greater New York political situation today was the unanimous nomination of Henry George for mayor by tha United democracy composed of numerous free silver and Bryan clubs. which were active in the campaign of last fall. MT. George once boiled 6S,000 votes as a labor candidate for mayor of New York. His strength, if he should accept, would be drawn principally from ths democratic vote. The United Democracy association ad-
 opted a resolution condemning "the action of the state committee in refus- ing ito affirm the Chicago platform in nominating as candidates for the chief justice of court of appeals, Alton B. Parker, whose party fealty is so doubt ful that he is popularly believed to have voted against the Bryan and Sewall electoral ticket last year."
 The convention nominated John G. Boyd for comptroller and Winfield s. Overton for president of the municipal council. Richard CroSer was quoted to- day as saying that Henry George was "a good man. @ fine man." and MT. George is said to have expressed the hope that Tammany would indorse the Chicago platform. A belief is current that MT. George will not accept to- nights nomination if Tammany in- dorses the Chicago platform. On the other hand ,the old-time democratic leaders prefer to ignore the silver ques- tion altogether. So the democrats ers as much worried over Henry George as the republicans are over Seth Low.

PUTTING lI STRONG.
Louisville Has Runor of 300 Cases in the
 Gulf city-Denied, However.

Louisville, Ky, Sept. 27-Rumor hav- ing gained wide currency today to the effect that eight hundred yellow fever eases existed at Mobile, Ala, and that the city was being deserted by thous- ands, the Assoclatsd Press correspond ent there was wf5ed for a true state ment of the facts.f His reply follows:
 The facts regarding the reported ex- Odus are that 400 people out of a popu- lation Of 40,0OO have left town during the past two weeks. Very few are now Having.
 Very many people who could go have not been etampeded and are here now attending their business. All stores and industrial establishments in town are open. Ths reports of the depopulation are sensational in the extreme. As to there being 800 sick that is untrue. There are very few sick people, this season bstng remarkably healthy one. The number of yellow fever cases re- ported by the Associated Press is ab- eolutely correct. The system now in vogue does not permit Of mistake of concealment on this score.

 The new cases reported for noon for the preceding twenty-four hours are: Three in number. and one death.
 The only death resulting was that of Florence Barlow, aged 2S years. She lived on Elmfra, near Lipscomb. A pe- 'cu1iarly sad feature is that she was en- gagged to be marlied next month and during her illness and even after her death her fiancse was not permitted to see her, nor attend her funeral, the regulations being so strict that none outside of the physicians, clergy and un- dertakers may approach fever casss.
 A summary is as follows: .-
