GERMANY's IRE AROUSED.
Will Demand an Explanation From
the French Government.

BERLIN, Sept. 2.-It is asserted
upon reliable authority that Germany
will demand from France an explana-
tion of the dispatch sent by Meline,
French Premier, in reply to a message
of congratulation of the Alsace Lor-
raine Society upon the signing of the
Franco-Russian alliance, in which dis
patch Meline expressed the hope of a
reunion of Alsace-Lorraine with the
French Republic. Germany, it is an
nounced, also will demand satisfaction
for the exeesses committed before the
German Embassy in Paris on the
evening of President Faures return
from his visit to Russia.
PARIS, Sept. 2.-The attitude of the
French press and public toward Ger
many is distinctly more resolute than
il vas before the Franco Russian al
lance was announced. Various rumors
concerning the Governments inten-
tions are in circulation, among others
one 20 the effect that upon the reas-
sembling of the Chamber of Deputies,

Affairs, will make an important speech

DISCRIMINATING DUTIES.
The Attorney-Genera1 Preparing
His Decision.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The Attor-
ney-General is devoting much of his
time this week to the preparation of the
decision in the question involved in the
Interpretation of Section % of the tar
iff law relating to discriminating du-
ties. He is exhausting all the authori-
ties, and carefully weighing all argu-
ments 1t is not probable the decision
will be ready until next Monday.
Mr.. McKenna has not yet decided
whether the present decision will cover
all controverted questions involved in
the section that have been referred TO
him, and there seems to be a strong
probability that the forthcoming de-
cision will not decide the question raised
as to whether the omission of the words
"Act of Congress" from the present sec
ton repeals Section 422S Of the Revised
Statutes, thereby imposing a 10 per
cent. discriminating duty on goods i'm
ported in vessels of countries not ex-
empt by express treaty stipulations. II
not, it will be covered in some future
decision.
Assistant Secretary Howe has in
structed the Collector at New York TO
suspend the collection of discriminating
duties under Section % of the new tar
iff law, pending the decision of the At
torney-General. These instructions
were issued when it was ascertained
that the Collector at New York had
been collecting these discriminating du-
ties on goods from Canada.

SUIT TO GUST SUPERVISORS.
Motions for Change of Venue and
Jury Trials Denied.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-The suit
Instituted against the Board of Super
visors by G. E. Fitch, who seeks to GUST
it's members from office for alleged mall
feasance in connection with the water
rate question, was called for trial in
Judge Wallace's court to-day.
AT the outset the court granted the de-
PENDANTS leave to file separate answers,
a privilege which was accepted by Sup
eIviSOrs Lackman and RottanZi, each of
whom averred that he was prevented
from taking action upon the question
OF water rates by the majority of the
board. Six of the others filed affidavits
in support of a motion for change of
venue, alleging bias and prejudice on
the part of Judge Wallace, but the court
promptly denied the motions. Trial by
jury was then demanded and denied,
as was also a motion for continuance on
the ground that one of the defendants
was ill.
The trial was thereupon proceeded
with, Clerk Russell of the board being
called upon to read the minutes of the
meetings during the month of Febru-
airy, when the question of water rates
was discussed.
The matter then went over until Mon
day next.

UNION PACIFIC ROAD,
Correction of a Statement Regard
ing Reorganization Plans.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Attorney-
General McKenna's attention was called
tonight to the statement published in
Boston in connection with the meeting
Of the Government Directors of the
Union Pacific Railway that there was
hitch in the reorganization plans, due
in part to the fact that the Department
of Justice wanted the Union Pacific re-
organizers to pay about 5000, 900 more
to the Government.
McKenna stated that no such prop
sition had been made, nor had the Gov
ernment made any propositions.
The Boston publication also referred
TO the possible Government loan of a
large amount, or an issue of paper mon
ey if the Federal authorities undertook
to operate the Union Pacific. AS to
this subject McKenna said he had no
Information, and it appears to be pure
ly conjecture, based on the remote con-
tingency that the Government will op-
crate this and other railroads now in
default on subsidy

papers to the English holders not to
deposit their stock with any committee
until they have learned certain import
ant facts. He has printed for circula-
ton among the English stockholders a
private pamphlet asserting that the
English association, Of which Joseph
Price is managing director, is under the
domination of certain American inter-
ests, and alleging that the English
stockholders have been deprived of div

the fields in that region, and which up
to the time he left had not been ex-
tinguiShed.
The fire is said to have been started
by General Ketchum to burn off some
grass on his farm. 1t got beyond his
control. and soon swept over an area
half mile wide and a mile long. Clark
Archer's stubble was burned, and the
orchard of Mrs. Hunter very badly dam
aged, if not destroyed. Tall dry grass
was abundant among the trees, and a
sheet of ames mounted to the highest
branches. The grass extended UP
against the walls of her dwelling, but it
escaped almost miraculously, a gust of
wind parting the solid column of flame,
and sending the two fiery tongues
around the house.

itor-General. The decision was ar
rived at after a general conference of

Der Of prominent gold Democrats from
all parts of the State, which confer
ence, by a vote of SO to 81, recon-
mended to the State Committee that it
be placed in the field When this rec
ommendation was made to the COM
mittee and effort was made by those
desiring ticket to have report
adopted, but the decision to nominate
no one was carried by above vote, af-
ter which a set of resolutions to that
effect was adopted by a viva voce vote.

COLUMBUS, Sept. 2.-Representative
coal operators and the coal miners
Executive Committee met to-day at $50
with closed doors. The miners of the
district declined to foreshadow any
movement in case of a refusal to accept
the operators proposition to open the
mines at "a cents per ton pending arbi-
tration. They were willing to talk of
general conditions and nothing else, eX-
cept that they want the agreement
made to-day, if any, to hold good for a
year.
The miners officials at 11:20 a. m.
held a secret conference and adjourned
to hold a point secret conference with a
special committee of operators repre-
senting substantially all of the opera
tors of Pittsburg. The committee of op-
orators consisted of J. B. Zerbe. NJ. Os-
borne and T. E. Young Of Cleveland and
Messrs. Dysart, Schlenderberg and An
drew O'Neill and Bonney Of Pittsburg.
Zerbe was made Chairman and w. c.
Potter of the miners Secretary of the
joint meeting.
1t looks now as though a national
convention of miners will be called to
ratffy or reject any agreement made
here.
The National Executive Board of the
United Mine Workers adjourned until
tomorrow without reaching a conclu-
sion on the proposition Of the Pitts
burg operators, and it is impossible to
predict what will be done. The board
had, a stormy session this afternoon,
and there appears to be a very decided
difference of opinion among the men,
bers as to the best course to pursue.
The proposition of the Pittsburg oper-
ators applies specifically to that dis
trict, but in effect all districts are con-
cerned The proposition is that the
Pittsburg miners shall return to work
at 64-cent rate, pending arbitration, the
conditions of arbitration to be that the
rate for mining shall not exceed SO
cents, or be less than 60 cents.
A conference of miners and opera
tors is to be held tomorrow.
QUIET ABOUT MINERS CAMPS.
PTTTSBURG, Sept. 2-Everything
was quiet about the striking miners
camps in the De Armitt region to-day,
the campers having decided to take
things easy until definite news from
Columbus in regard to the settlement
OF Tie
The tendency of the whole camp seems
to be to resist any settlement except on
an unqualified 69-cent basis. The gem
eral talk among the men shows no dis
couragement as yet. On all sides was
heard the opinion that the operators
are being hard pushed in the matter of
holding contracts, and are getting into
deeper straits every day. The morn
ing missionary work of the campers has
come to the same mild conflict be-
tween strikers and deputies. Some of
them are turned back regularly and
some get through the lines to execute
their mission.
The Pittsburg coal operators We're
convinced to-day that a settlement of
the strike was in sight when inquiries
for coal began to come in from Cleve-
land. Prices were advanced and sew
eral contracts were made at 20 cents
above the mining price, whatever the
rate might be. Cleveland is the head
quarters of the big shippers, and the
Cleveland people hold the key to the
situation. The flood of inquiries was,
therefore, attributed to the fact that
the strike had been settled.

markable statement by Herman Mack,
husband Of Mrs. Augsta Mack, who,
with Martin Thorne, is charged with
