AID FROM GREAT BRITAIN
Demanded by the Conference at the
Island of Barbados.


Kingston, JAM, Sept. II. The con-
ference Of West Indian representa-
tives at the Island Of Barbados
passed a resolution formally demand
ing aid from the British home govern
ment as a matter of right as being the
only remedy for the Industrial crisis,
and also demanded the adoption of
measures either for the exclusion Of
bounty-fed sugar from the English
market or the enforcement of counter.
vailing duties. No ultimatum looking
to American annexation was adopted,
although the question was indirectly
discussed as possible future con-
tingency to Cuban and Porto Rican
competition in the American market
should Great Britain conclude to rem
der the relief demanded. Annexation
to America was not mentioned and the
Jamaican delegate, in an interview,
declared that while annexation to the
United States is improbable the trans
ferance of the British West Indian
islands is impracticable, besides prom
Using no relief. 49, >ssz. .ys.a. d - - g J,

Cornelius Driscoll Of this city was at
tending the funeral of Howard Hen
Saturday night by George White, her
five-year-old daughter picked up a

manner which the child was unable
to explain, the gun was discharged.
The bullet struck the baby in the fore
head, causing instant death. The ac-
cident happened at the home Of rel
alive short distance from the house

Geneva, Swift, Sept. Is. - The en-
press OF Austria was assassinated at
the Hotel Beaurivage by an anarchist,
who was arrested. He stabbed her
majesty with a stiletto. Her majesty
was walking from her hotel to the
landing place of the steamer, when an
Italian anarchist suddenly approached
and stabbed her to the heart. The
empress fell, got up again and was
carried to the steamer unconscious.
The boat started, but, seeing the EN-
press had not recovered consciousness,
the captain returned and the empress
was carried to the hotel, where she ex-
PRED. The murderer is Nameel Luc-
'cheni. He was born in Paris, of Ital-
ian parents
Another account says: After having
been stabbed from behind, the en-
press rose and walked on board the
steamer, where she fell, fainting. The
captain did not wish to put off from
the quay, but did so at the request of
the empress and her suite, there being
no apprehension that she was serious
~ hurt. The steamer was turned
back from the open lake, and the en-
press, unconscious, was carried to the
hotel on a stretcher. Greve fears are
expressed regarding the effect which
the assassination may have upon the
emperor, whose health has never re-
covered from the blow of Crown
Prince Rudolph's tragic death, and it
is known that his majesty lately has
been very feeble. The stretcher upon
which the empress was carried to the
hotel was hastily improviced with
oars and sail cloth. Doctors and
priests were
Immediately Summoned,
and telegram was sent to Emperor
Francis Joseph. All efforts to revive
her majesty were unavailing The
medical examination showed that the
assassin must have used a small tri-
angular file. After striking the blow
he ran along the Rue des Alps with
the evident intention of entering the
Square DIES Alps, but before reaching
it he was seized by two cabmen who
had witnessed the crime They hand
ed him over to a boatman and a
gendarme, who conveyed him to the
police station. The prisoner made no
resistance. He even sang as he walked
along, caying: 81 did it and she must
be dead" At the police station he de-
clared that he was a 'starving an
archist, with no hatred for the poor
but only for the rich.' The assassion
told the magistrate that he came to
Geneva in order to assassinate "anoth-
er important person." but had been un-
able to execute the project. The fed
eral authorities had been Informed Of
the visit Of the empress and they no.
titled the governors Of the cantons the
empress expected to visit, instructing
them to take special police measures
for her comfort and safety if it ap-
peared necessary. They were not in
formed of her majestys intention to
visit Geneva, nor were the local au-
thorities aware Of her presence there,
as she was travelling incognito.

Greatest Calamity That Ever Oc-
Cured in Arizona. .
Prescott, Ariz., Sept. -14.-The fire in
Jerome was one of the greatest calam-
tiles in the loss Of lives and destruction
Of property that ever occurred in Ari-
IONA. The number of missing is put
at fifteen. Many people familiar with
Jerome place the property loss at fig
ures ranging from half to three
quarters of a million dollars. There
was but little insurance, the amount
aggregating less than $4,000. The
loss is complete, it being stated that
not even the commonest effects Of the
houses were saved. Merchandise and
valuable goods were moved to places
on the hillside, but the heat became so
intense that nearly everything was de-
stroyed in the fire. -

Chicago, Sept. II. - AS bold a rob-

ROYAL BLUE TRAINS.

In September last, railway officials
from London were sent to America, to
get ideas on the railway passenger
service OF the leading lines in this
country, and in their official report,
which was printed in the London
Times in January, it was stated that
the Royal Blue Line" series of mag
n1hcent passenger trains, running be
tween New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington, lead the world
tor quick and exquisite train service.
The Royal Blue Line" service con-
sists OF nine elegant passenger trains
a day in each direction between the
cities named above. They are the
finest and fastest trains in the world.
Their equipment was built especially
for the service by the Pullman Com
pany, and includes every modern con-
venience known for the comfort of
passengers. The trains are vestibuled
from end to end, and hauled by the
strongest and fastest locomotives in
the United States.
The exquisite day coaches of these
trains are worthy of special note.
They are beautifully upholstered,
each containing waShroom and
smoking compartment.
The parlor cars are the most pala-
tial ever built, being fully seventy
three feet long In addition to this
service, three new parlor cars were
added in April, and are the first of
this kind ever run; they are richly up
holstered and ornamented throughout
in most beautiful designs. A ladies'
retiring-room is provided in one end
of the car. This room, which is six
| full dresser with large mirror and a
number of drawers. On each side of
it are upholstered corner seats. In an
other corner is bookcase and station
ary Washstand. The room was de-
signed for especial comfort of ladies,
who have always claimed men had the
best of it when travelling. The usual
smoking apartment, however, is at the
opposite end of the car.
| The dining cars are operated by the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company,
and especial attention is given to the
menu. Every delicacy is served in
season, and the service is unsurpassed
In addition to the already perfect
service of "Royal Blue Trains" men,
toned above, there will be put into

then boast Of three trains which make
this extraordinary fast time between
Washington and New York, which
has never been attained by any Other

For great many years doctors pro-

failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
