European Discussion of Emperor
Nicholas Proposition,
IT WAS THE ozAR's OWN IDEA.

Count MuravieT Disposes of a State-
ment That "the Proposal Is a VIC
tory For NJ. wItte, the Russian Min
lister of FInance.''
London, Aug. 3l.-The Daily Graphic
says that Lord Salisbury, in 1888, COM
municated to Emperor William a mem
orandum showing the tremendous cost
of armed Europe Emperor William
was so impressed that he privately in
timated his intention to summon a dis
armament congress. The semi-onlcial
German press ventilated the idea with
the result that so much animosity was
revealed on the part of France that
the kaiser abandoned the project
The st. Petersburg correspondent Of
The Times says: Count Muravieff, the
Russian foreign minister, declares that
the Idea originated entirely with EN-
peror Nicholas. There is much scepti-
cism in diplomatic circles as to any
practical results from a conference,
and it is admitted on all sides that the
circular came as the greatest surprise"
The Paris correspondent of The
Times still insists that NJ. Faure and
the French ministers knew nothing be-
forehand, and that the czar's proposal
has plunged the entire official world
into terrible embarrassment and al
most into stupefactlon Everybody"
says NJ. DE Blowltz. lis asking with
dismay what it means. 1t is a sad
awakening for France, and her papers
are making an immense effort to re-
strain their feeling in the face Of what
is regarded as Russian perhdy."
The st. Petersburg correspondent Of
The Daily Mail says: "The proposal
is a victory for M. De Witte, the Rus
sian minister of finance, over Count
Muravieff, the former having warned
Emperor Nicholas that if Muravieff's s
provocative policy toward England
were continued Russia would soon be-
come bankrupt. M. De Wtte advised
disarmament as a peace policy to en-
able him to carry out his plans for a
gold standard In Russia and rehabili-
tation of Russian finance"

committed the robberies at Girardville, but
was not implicated in any of the depreda-
tiOns. He further stated that the remaining
four tramps were located in different parts of
the town. Special officer Creary has decided

HORRIBLY MANGLED.
A Mahanoy City Young Man Loses Both
Legs, Resulting In Death.
Special TO EVENING HERALD.

Mahanoy City. Aug. 3l.-Peter Quincy,
aged Is years, residing with his parents on
Mahanoy avenue, this town, met with a
horrible accident ON the p. & r. Railroad
this morning. by which he will undoubtedly
lose both legs.
Quincy was employed at the Buck Noun
tain colliery, and while on his way to work
this morning he was overtaken by freight
train No. 81, bound from Newberry to Tama-
qua, and which was going at good rate of
speed. On the outskirts Of the town the
young man attempted to board the train
missed his hold, and was thrown to the
ground, falling under the wheels of the cars.
He lay beside the track, with both legs
mangled, one arm horribly gashed and body
badly bruised, undergoing great torture.
That he did not die from shock seemed a
marvel to those who found him.
Quincy was picked up and placed upon an
engine and brought to this town. At the
depot his suflerings increased, and he
shrieked from the pain. Father McEnroe, of
st. Canicus church, was called in for spiritual
consolation. Two of the local physicians
dressed his wounds temporarily, and the un-
fortunate man was then placed on an engine
and taken to the Miners hospital.
Quincy is young man of steady habits
and is highly respected and his misfortune is
deeply felt by his many friends.
LATER.
1t is now reported that Quincy did not
| fall between the wheels, but was walking
along the railroad and was struck by the oil
box on the engine at the rear end of the
train. He died at the hospital shortly after
one o'clock this afternoon, and was uncon.
scious up to the time of his death.
