STEAMERS CARGO ABLAZE.
The Gloucester Has an Exciting
Sixty-MiIe Run.

Sixty-Mile Run.
Norfolk, Va, Nov. e.-The Merchants
and Miners steamer Gloucester arrived
here this morning about o'clock, after
an exciting sixty-mile run with part of
her cargo ablaze. The fire was first dis
covered about o'clock this morning, when
the ship was off Hog Island, the smoke
of burning excelsior being detected by
those in the engine room.
An investigation was Immediately made
and the fire was discovered in the hold
of the vessel under the forward hatch,
deep down among innumerable bales of
excelsior and leather. 1t was blazing
fiercely and filling the hold with smoke.
The instant it was discovered that the
flames could not be extinguished by or
dinary means, Capt, Howes ordered steam
turned on the cargo and had the ships
speed increased to her full capacity.
There were thirty-one passengers
aboard bur such GOODNESS and caution was
exercised by the captain and his officers
that none of them knew there was any,
thing the matter until they reached Nor
folk, and some of them do not know
even now.
About o'clock. after it was found that
the fire was too stubborn to be handled
successfully by the crew, the Norfolk de-
partment was called out and by II O'Clock
Chief Ryan had put the flames out using
six tanks of the chemical engine to do It.
1t is impossible to state the loss, but IL
will probably be large, as much valuable
leather and many cases Of shoes were
ruined, to say nothing Of the quantity Of
excelsior.

Washington, Nov. 6.--Gen. James H. Ty-

to Postmaster General Gary urges that

volve on the office of the assistant attor,

They were succeeded by a crop of other
notorious schemes denominated bond in

Upon the decease of the Louisiana lottery

NOT TO BE OFFERED AUToNoM
Political Reforms All That Spain
WIN Extend Cuba.

Havana, Nov. 6-Recent developments
tend to confirm previous announcements
relative to the non-establshment of au-
tonomy in Cuba. The government,
through Marshal Blanco, desires to make
use of the supposed influence of the au-
Economists with the Cubans by giving the
autononlists official position, but no formal
overtures have been made Some of the
morning papers, like FL Commercio, assert
that the Sagasta government will not
dare to inaugurate autonomy in Cuba,
adding that Marshal Blanco has made no
promise whatever in this direction and
will establish political reforms and moth
ing more.
The Official Gazette publishes a decree
granting pardon to all persons guilty of
offenses against the press laws of Cuba
and Porto Rico, except in the cases of the
publication of calumnious articles and
where the offenses have been committed
by membe rs of the army and navy in vio-
lation of discipline and against the repu-
tations of military officials.
The authorities have been instructed
that the decree shall be put into effect at
once.

CREW OF THE COMPETITOR.
TRIAL by CoURT-MARTTAL TO
OPEN AT HAVANA TOMORROW.

Grave Danger That the Hearing
VIII Lead to the ReimpOsition OF
the Death Penalty-Only Most En-
ergetic Action by This Govern
ment Prevented Execution of the
Sentence After the First Trial.
The Men in Prison Since April IS,
1896.
Washington, Nov. GA telegram came
to the state department to-day from Unit
ed States Acting Consul General Springer,
at Havana, as follows; Trial by court
martial of the Competitor prisoners will
be held Monday next Will attend"
There are five of these prisoners, namely
Fred Laborde, William Gildea, Ona Mel
ton. Charles Bartlett and william Lea
witt.
They were arrested on the Competitor,
April 25 1896. on a charge of landing arms
for the insurgents, and have been held in
close confinement ever since. May 8, 1896,
they were tried by a naval court martial
and sentenced to death. Only the most en-
ergetic action by the United States gov
ernment prevented the immediate execu-
ton of this sentence and after negotia-
tions direct with Madrid, Gen. Weyler
having proved unrelentng, an order was
secured for new trial, the Madrid judi
cial reviewing authorities having found
the proceedings informal.
The news now coming that they are to
be tried by court martial again is not re-
assuring, as 1t amounts to an insistance
by the Spanish upon their contention that
if carried out will, 1t is expected, lead to
the re-imposition of the death penalty,
though clemency may be extended by Gen.
Blanco.
Havana, Nov. ct is semi-officially as
serted here that if the crew of the Amer
lean schooner Competitor, whose trial
will again begin on Monday next before
a naval court martial, are sentenced to
death or Imprisonment, they will be par
doned by the government at Madrid.

VALIDITY OF CONTRACTS.
The Right to Terminate Them Must
he Mutual.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 6.-The supreme
court of Arkansas to-day handed down a
decision which is of the greatest interest
to the public In general, as well as to the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers, in
particular.
1t is well known the locomotive engi-
neers are all employed under contract, by
which seniority of service gives priority
Of right to employment, so that when
slackness of business demands that one or
more engineers shall be discharged, the
last engineer employed shall be the first
dismissed. One of the senior engineers
having been discharged, he brought suit
on the ground that he was discharged
without cause and In violation Of his con-
tract II was conceded that his contract
gave him the right to quit at pleasure,
and the court denied his right to recover
on the ground that no contract can be
valid that gives only one party thereto tho
right to terminate 1t.
The court holds that the rightAto rescind
or terminate a contract must be mutual
The decision is far-reachlng, affecting, as
It does, organized labor Of all classes work
ing under contract agreements.

low accompaniment. The emperor was in

preached by a group of riders, among
whom were their majesties. The animal

about the ground, and finally rolled un-

which thereupon bolted. His majesty,
however, finally stopped his steed, dis
mounted and speared the boar.
