A WILD STORY DENIED.

PARIS, July 2S.-At the meeting of
the cabinet this morning the minister
of foreign affairs, NJ. Delcasse, briefly
summarized the provisions of the Fran
co-American convention.
NJ. Delcasse also disposed of the story
which has created a great sensation
to the effect that the Gar of Russia
had telegraphed to Prince Louis Ma
poleon on his birthday, expressing the
cordial hope that each year would bring
the Prince nearer the realization of the
best wishes of his friends, who" it
was alleged, the Cars message had
said, ARE as numerous in France as in
Russia
NJ. Deleasse said the story was pure
invention. and that it had been con-
cocted in Paris.

FUNERAL OF HECREAUX.

There v as No Disorder-Exiles Are Jub-
liant.
CAPE HAITIEN, July 28.-The fun
eral Of President Herureaux, of Santo
Domingo took place at o'clock last
evening in Santiago de Las Caballeros.
The population was panic-stricken but
there was no disorder.
A report has been received here to
the effect that the adversaries of the
government attacked Moca last night.
The news of the death of President
Heureaux was hardly credited here by
the people generally untif last evening
when undoubted confirmation was re-
ceived. Then there was great rejoicing
among the Dominican exiles, many of
whom live in and around Cape Haitien.
These exiles who are driven out of
their country by Heureaux are now
preparing TO arm themselves and enter
Santo Domingo, where they expect
their chief, Don Juan Isidoro Jiminez,
TO join them.
The Dominican government is max
ing preparations on large scale to
maintain itself.
The funeral services over the re-
mains of President Heureaux were at
tended by a large number of people
and were conducted with great solemn
ity. The body, which had lain in state
throughout the day, was buried in the
cathedral. The Governor of the pro-
vince superintended the public mourn
ing Yesterday, throughout the island,
cannon were fired hourly and flags were
placed at half mast on all public build
ings. The government has issued a
decree ordering a period of national
mourning for nine days.
The city of Santo Domingo is in a
state of great unrest, and business is
entirely suspended. The people fear an
outbreak.
Last night band of armed men at
tackled Moca, where President Heureagx
was killed, and fired number of shots.
1t is reported that the forces support
ing the assassin have been augmented
considerably. The government has
taken measures to put down the threat
ened insurrection.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Of Train Lo.d OF People From Death
Twenty Persons Injured.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 26.-Twenty
people were injured tonight in a wreck
on the West Penn railroad at Herr 5
Station, few miles above Allegheny
City. None of the injured are likely TO
die, but number of them are quite
badly hurt. Among those suffering The
most are: c. Fl. Beach. Earl Beach,
A. G. Nichols, j. S. Sweeney, Solomon
Wallis, b. G. Beaior, James Poole,
Harry Hicks. w. ]. Coss. E. G. Coss,
I. r. Jackson and Oscar Wallace. all
residents of suburban points between
Allegheny and Apollo. The accident
happened at one of the round house
switches at Heirs Station. As the
Apollo accommodation, going east at
about 25-mile an-hour rate, came into
the yard, a switch split, throwing the
passenger train with terrific force
against two side-tracked engines. The
smoker and middle coach of the ac-
commodation, which were crowded to
the limit, were literally smashed to
splinters. How the passengers escaped
death is a miracle.
The wounded were promtly cared for
and taken to hispitals or their homes,
and at midnight all are reported doing
well.

ARMS FOR FILIPINOS.
They Have Been Obtained from Hong

NEW YORK, July PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: According
TO verbal reports to the navy from officers
returning from the Philippines. Agulnaldo
continues TO get war supplies through Ger
man merchants in Hong Kong and Japan
csc merchants in Yokohama, although our
consuls have been directed to KEEP a sharp
lookout for filibustering. In more than one
instance British officers have aided the
United States in preventing the shiDment
of arms from Hong Kong. but officers just
returned say there is no doubt the temp
tation offered by Aguinaldo's high prices
has induced merchants TO violate the ncu-
trality laws and try to force the imperfect
blockade.
Twelve Spanish gunboats recently put on
blockade duty have done remarkably good
service in cutting off supplies between the
different islands. Last mail reports said
they had captured Is different cargoes of

Special to the Register
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 28.-W. J..
Smith, president of the American Flint
Glass Workers Union, returned this
morning from Atlantic City, where he
attended conference with a ommit-
tee of prescription glass manufacturers.
The conference was in session for two
days listing new designs of bottles and
finally settling the wage scale. The
ers to pay an advance of 10 per cent
over present wages was accepted. Full
ly 1900 skilled workers are benefited
by this advance, and about $500 men
and boys are affected There will be
no delay in the operation of the bottle
factories of the country. All are in
partial operation during the summer
months under the agreement with the
union. This agreement permits the
manufacturers to operate one furnace
of each plant during the hot months,
but provides that all the men shall have
a six weeks vacation. By this arrange
ment none of the factories runs to its
full capacity from June Is to Septem-
Der Is. Some manufacturers wanted to
have this rule waived this year owing
to the increased demand, but the work
ers refused to suspend the rule. One
Of the advantages of this system is
shown in the increased number OF or
ders booked. This has enabled manu-
facturers to get more money for their
product. They have just announced an
advance in prices in all grades of pre-
scription ware and further advance is
likely to be made in the near future.
All of the flint glass scales are now
settled except in the chimney, pressed
ware, iron mold, paste mold and mold
making branches. They will all like
ly be satisfactorily settled with the ex-
ception of the chimney scale. The
workers will ask for an advance of 10
per cent, which the manufacturers say
they will be unable to pay. If a settle
ment is not made before August, work
will be suspended in all union factories,
and about 5000 men and boys wilhbe
thrown idle
. The National Glass Budget in its is
sue tomorrow will say: This year
the outlook for hand blown chimney
manufacturers is even worse than it
was last year, as the workers demands
are bound to hasten the introduction of
the chimney blowing machines into the
factories of the Macbeth-Evans Com
pany. This firm had decided not to in
troduce the machine in any Of their
factories except the Toledo factory,
where it was operated last year, had
the workers accepted their offer of last
years wages, but the developments of
the last two weeks has materially
changed their minds and a dozen or
more machines which have been per-
fected and were stored in Toledo will
be set up in one of their factories and
new machines will be built as rapidly as
possible and put to work.
