MERCHANTS ARE AROUSED.

Nesting In Hamburg.

Hamburg. Dec 30.-The directors of
the German East African line have re-
ceived news of the arrest of the imper-
ial mail steamer Bundesrath. The COM

an explanation of the cause of the seiz-
ure.
1t is declared here that there was no
contraband of war on board. and when
application was made to the German
foreign office the latter Immediately
promised interposition with the British
government.
The seizure of the Bundesrath was
referred to at a meeting of merchants
held here today. After a speech by
Adolph Woermann, president of the
Hamburg chamber of commerce, deal
ing with the great progress of the Ger
man empire during the closing CEN
tury Herr Fife, speaking in behalf
OF the firms trading with South At
RIGA. asked whether the chamber was
doing all that was necessary for the
protection of German trade in that
part of the world. German commerce,
he asserted. had already suffered det-
riment through the war in South At
rica. and now came the seizure of a
German steamer by a British warShip.
Herr Woermann replied that the
chamber had already considered the
QutSllOll iGplCcCtAlotiOAA1 "@e-A 49,
view of taking action in the matter.
The chamber. he continued. had been
informed that the steamship company
owning the seized vessel had tele-
graphed to Prince Hohenlohe. the i'm
perial chancellor. asking for govern
ment intervention, and it was declared
that nothing whatever had been done
by the company which could in any
way be regarded as breach of neu-
trality.

Joplin, Mo-, May 26.-In and near a
tent in the southeastern part of town
yesterday were found the partly de-
composed bodies of ]. r. Moss, his
wife, an infant child, a girl Of Z years
and a boy 9. The heads of all save
Moss had been mashed with hammer.
He had a bullet hole in his head, and
still clasped a revolver. He had ap-

mitted suicide. The motive is a mys-

The tragedy is believed to have oc-
Cured on Tuesday night, while the
family were asleep. The woman was
in a night dress and had evidently
been killed before she could make re-
sistance. The girl lay on a cot near
her mother, the boy was stretched
across two chairs and the body of the
father and husband, partly undressed,
sprawled on the ground. The infant,
its head severed from the body, was
found outside the tent, where the dogs
had dragged it.
Moss had made his living scraping
ore about the abandoned mines, and
the tent, furniture and clothes of the
family indicated that he had prospered.
The family came here two months ago
and had formerly lived at Butler and

Ouav and the Senate.

There are now rumors to the effect
that former Senator Quay, who was
named by Governor Stone to succeed
himself in the United States Senate,
may not formally request that body
to recognize him as one of its men,
bers when Congress convenes in
December next. The conditions lead
ing up to this situation are somewhat
peculiar, and the policy that will be
pursued by Mr.. Quay is dependent
upon contemplated legislation that,
IL enacted, would entirely change the
phase of present affairs.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,,
has announced his intention of in
Producing au act providing that mem
bers Of the United States Senate
shall be elected by plurality of votes
OF the state legislatures. The present
method of conducting senatorial
elections requires that a majority of
the legislature is necessary TO elect a
member of the United States Senate.
The passage of this act would en-
tirely change the existing conditions,
and had it been in force during the
recent contest Mr. Quay would have
been elected his own successor, as he
was the leading candidate by a
plurality of about twenty-five votes.
The plan, as now outlined by Quay
and his friends, is to await the action
of the Senate and lower house Of Con
gress upon Senator Lodges bill.
Should it meet with the approval OF
both houses and become a law, the
next move is easy of conjecture. Quay
haying plurality Of the legislature,
the latter would be reconvened by
Governor Stone and the Beaver
county man reelected to succeed him
self without any difficulty.

Historical Parade Reviewed by the
President and His cabinet.
Washington, May 26.-A grand his
toric street pageant, followed by patrl-
otto addresses, was the chief feature of
the last day of the national peace jub-
lice in this city. The pageant was
allegorical and historical, and typifed
the great historic epochs in our coun-
try, from Columbus at the court OF
Spain and the discovery of America
down to the victory which crowned
our arms I'm the war with Spain. Be
side the floats, which were on an elab-
crate scale, there were companies of
soldiers uniformed according to the
periods, costumed cavalrymen and old
cannon used in the revolutionary war,
the war of 1912 and the Mexican and
civil wars. Perry's victory on Lake
Erie and Washington crossing the Del
aware were represented on floats. A
float representing the reunion of the
blue and the grey, upon which were
Union and Confederate officers frater-
nizing, created great enthusiasm.
President Mckinley and his cabinet
reviewed the parade.
The addresses from the reviewing
stand in the court of honor followed

Disastrous Fire at st. John.

St. John, N. b., May 26.-Fire that
broke out in a building adjoining the
general warehouse of P. Nase & Sons,
Main street, North End, yesterday
afternoon, did enormous damage. A
leading underwater estimates the loss
at 100000 and the insurance at $780,
600. For several hours the fires pro-
gress was unchecked. insufficient wa
ter supply, a long term of dry weather
and a brisk gale contributed to cause
a conflagration which for atime threat
ened annihilation to the wooden dis
trict where it originated. Late last
night, however, the fire died out. The
district Tavaged by the fire was COM
posed largely of tenement houses, and
probably 1000 persons are homeless, a
majority of them laboring people. Two
deaths are to be set down to the fire.
A Miss Cunard, an aged lady, residing
on Holly street, was burned in her
house, and Mrs. Mowerey, who resided
a short distance from the scene, died
from shock.
