A VAIL FROM ENGLAND.
Leading Briton Explains the De-
cline Of British Exports,
HE FEARS THE UNITED STATES.

Says Americans Are Doing work
That E%ngilshmen should lave Done,
and Urges IA speedy settlement Of
II Engineering Dispute.
London, Nov. Alright Hon. Charles
T. Richie, president Of the board Of
trade, made an important speech be-
fore the Chamber Of Commerce Of
Croydon yesterday, taking as his theme
the decline Of British exports during
the last ten months, upon which he
hung a grave warning against Ameri-
can competition, now "ousting British
trade"
Mr.. Richie, after declaring that the
Dingley tariff and the engineering trade
dispute were mainly responsible for the
recent decline of exports, and after
pointing out that England had no
weapons against the tariff, said there
was a great deal Of talk in commercial
circles about the serious competition Of
Germany, but he thought they were too
apt to overlook a much more serious
competitor, the United States.
The facts are serious" he contin-
ued, land call upon us for the exercise
of all u powers to enable us to main
tain our position in the commercial
world. There is no doubt III United
States are executing orders which ought
to be executed here. As we all know,
an American firm obtained the contract
for the Central Underground railway
(of London), as its bid was lower than
those of the English concerns, and 1t
could deliver the supplies three months
ahead of the British tenders Many
important continental orders have gone
to America.
"The same is to be said of Egypt
and Japan, where the Americans are
doing work that Englishmen should
have done. In consequence of the en-
cheering dispute many orders are
leaving the country, and, unfortunately,
these orders seldom return.
Americas successful competition is
to her enterprise in em%barking cap
ital, but it is yet more due to the free
dom her manufacturers enjoy of en-
ploying the best machinery and work.
ing 1t in the most economical manner.
untrammeled by the restrictions which
AVE hampered manufacturers here.
Everyone having his country's interest
at heart must hope that tomorrow's
conference viii lead to a settlement Of
the unfortunate engineering dispute"

Capable Of Holding His Own with
Captain Coverings Lawyers.
Chicago, Nov. 24.-Private Charles
Hammond was the principal witness in
the Lowering court martial yesterday,
n proved himself entirely capable Of
holding his own with the attorneys
who are acting for Captain Lowering
He gave damaging evidence against
Lowering, and could not be made to
contradict himself on the stand, nor
was he at any time confused by the
sharp cross examination to which he
was subjected. Questions relating to
his personal history before he entered
the army he quietly refused to answer,
because, as he said, they have no bear
ing on this case, Hammond, in his
evidence, nearly doubled the number
Of sword thrusts mentioned by pre-
ceding witnesses, and then proved his
evidence by showing the scars.
Hammond declared that he had left
his barracks at Pittsburgh, N. Y,
without leave in order to attend to
some private business. and had sur
rendered at Chicago within ten days in
order to escape the charge Of desertiop,
being willing to serve the penalty for
absence without leave. His attitude

THORN7S SECOND TRIAL.
a Jury Secured and the Taking Of
Evidence Again Begun.
THE ATTITUDE OF THE DEFENSE.

They WIN Endeavor to Trace Other
Grimes TO Mrs. Mack In Order to
Convince the Jury Of Her Capacity
For the -Guldensuppe Murder.
New York, Nov. 24.-The second trial
Of Martin Thorn, for the murder Of
William G|uldensuppe, was fairly start
ed yesterday afternoon in the Queens
county court. The lawyers for the
prosecution and defense diligently en-
deavored to secure a jury as quickly
as possible, and when an adjournment
was taken Monday evening seven ju-
rors had been sworn. An additional
panel of 80 was made up Monday,
and from these and the remainder of
the first special panel of talesmen the
other five jurors were selected yester-
day, AS Don as the jury was COM
pleted an adjournment for luncheon
was ordered by the court, after which
District Attorney Youngs opened the
case for the prosecution. In a compre-
hensive he placed the entire
case Of the people against the accused
barber before the court, and promised
to prove everything that was charged
in the indictment. He spoke for 30 min
utes, and as soon as he had finished the
taking of evidence was begun.
The remainder of the afternoon ses-
sion was taken up in the examination
of those who found the three bundles,
each n containing a portion Of the
severed body, and several police officers
were examined as to the manner in
which the different parts were brought
to the New York morgue. Some of the
bath rubbers who knew G~uldensuppe in
life and worked alongside of him in the
baths, testified to the identity of the re-
mains which were found in -four Sec
lions in three bundles, and they were
positive, judging from peculiar marks
in the three different parts, that they
belonged to the body of the missing
bath attendant.
Mrs. Mack may be called today, but
when a reporter asked the district at
torney whether there was any signih-
canoe to the fact that he had not spoken
of Mrs. Mack as a witness in his open
ing address. and If she would or would
not be a witness during the second
trial, Mr.. Youngs replied: II cannot
answer those questions at this stage"
The lawyers for the defense, however,
are quite positive that the woman will
be a witness, and they are prepared to
make 1t warm for her during her cross
examination. That they will put Thorn
on the stand to refute Mrs. Nack's tes-
timony and swear that it was she who
committed the murder Is now beyond
all doubt.
Mr.. Howe's questions to the tales
men when they were being examined
showed c%onclusively the line of defense
he meant to adopt. In addition to

ESCAPED THE TRAIN ROBBERS.
An Engineers Promptness saves the
Passengers From Bandits,


Passengers From Bandits,
Dublin, Tex, Nov. PA passenger
train on thu Rio Grande road came into
this place at $40 yesterday afternoon
with more passengers thai usual. When
about three miles west, when rounding
a curve into a deep cut, the engineer
discovered the track to be INSTRUCTED
by a pile of rock about three feet high.
The engineer reversed his engine, and
suddenly stopped the train, and In an
instant started to back to this city.
As the rain slowed up four robbers
surrounded it and ordered all hands
up, but seeing the train move back
ward they opened fire on the engineer,
who had crouched behind the boiler to
avoid their bullets. Many shots were
fired, but no one was hurt. Mr.. o. H,
Weissinger, travelling man from Waco,
who was a passenger, said that con-
siderable excitement prevailed among
the passengers. All mad frantic eff
forts to conceal their valuables. Most
Of the passengers consisted of delegates
returning from the Methodist confer
ence at Weatherford. The robbers wore
no masks. A posse was organized and
conveyed to the scene at once. The
GROVE showed their appreciation of the
engineers bravery in a substantial
manner

Dallas, Tex, Nov. 24.-Dan Stuart left
last night for New York, where he will
reside in the future. He has disposed
of all his interests in Texas, and win
henceforth devote his entire time to
the Veriscope company and his carnival
scheme at Carson City. For % years
Stuart has been a resident of Dallas,
He says politics drove him out; that a

have singled him out for a mark, and
he leaves rather than be further har-

eilitated the flight of the ex-Empress
Eugene from Paris in 1870, and who
died here on Nov. IA, left most Of his
large fortune to found charitable in
situations bearing his name. DR.. Evans

much below SIS, 900, 600. He made his
Will at Davos Platz, and it was report
ed shortly after his Heath that he
greater part of the fortune would go
to endow educational institutions in
this country. He had nc children, but
there are a few neDhews n nieces,
most of them residing n Philadelphia,
who may be heirs to a portion of the
estate.
