GROWING FOREIGN TRADE.
Phladelphia's Relations With West
 Coast of South America.

Philadelphia, Dec 19.-An important addition to the foreign commerce of Philadelphia is promised by the estab- lishment of closer trade relations with the western coast of South America. Twelve steamships, which were char tered during the last month, are now on their way to Chili, Peru and Ecua- dor with general cargoes, and more are being chartered. All of them are un- der contract to bring back silver ore and nitrate of soda. The British steamer Dart has just been chartered for six months to bring silver ore from Antofogasta to either Perth Amboy, N. J., or Philadelphia.
 Efforts are being made by New York capitalists, it is said, to obtain prop erty near, or at, Chester, Pa, for the erection of smelting plant, where the ores containing precious metals can be reduced and thus save the expense of proceeding to Perth Amboy, as most of the vessels load their outward car goes at this point. Recently large shipments of both silver and lead ores have been coming here from Mexico Cheap coal and superior water facili ties on the Delaware river are the in ducements held out by those interested in the proposed plant.

BOMB IN A LECTURE ROOM.
Frightened 800 Freshmen, but Other
 wise It Did No Harm.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 13.-Harvard freshmen to the number of 800 had q scare this morning when a bomb was exploded in Sanders theater while Pro- lessor Coolidge was lecturing in the course called History I. The explos- fin of the bomb, which was wrapped in brown paper, and had a long fuse at tached to it, caused much smoke, but did no damage. In spite of the noise and the smoke few students left their seats and Professor Coolidge went on with the lecture.
 A man was seen looking through the window of the north door at 9:30 o'clock, but as this is an every day oc- currence little attention was paid to him. Five minutes later the bomb was thrown into the room. One student tried to step on the fuse, but was un- successful. Another tried to throw the bomb out but as he picked it up oth- CTS shouted Drop it or it will go off iE your hands," Look out Be care full" and he followed the advice. By this time most of the men were on their feet. Then came the explosion. After the smoke cleared away, there was no sign of disturbance, and Professor Coolidge continued his lec- ture.
 No official action has yet been taken to ascertain the names of those guilty of the offense. lit is probable, however, that the faculty will investigate the matter thoroughly.

THEY HELD UP TWO CLERKS.
Took Money That Was Designed tC
 Pay the Employes.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 13.-Three masked and heavily armed men enter ed the office of the Peet Bros. Manu- featuring Company, soap makers in Armourdale at 6:30 last night and the office to hand over $500 which lay in envelopes on the desk in readiness to pay out to the men as their week ly wages. Two of the men were about six feet in height and the third was quite short.
 The two tall ones. entered the office with revolvers extended and with rough and peremptory commands or dered w. J. Schenck, the superinten- dent, and W. O. Adams, the cashier, to throw up their hands. At a glance, they saw there was no alternative but probable death and their hands went up. They were the only ones in the office and there were no others near. The $500 lay in small envelopes back of a screen. The third man had no difficulty in reaching it. The money in their possession and the three men quietly and swiftly disappeared in the dark. Their is no good clue to their identity. They were attored in com mon and dark clothes and wore black masks over their faces.

 A matinee was given this afternoon and large crowd assembled to Wit ness the various features. Shortly be- fore o'clock Stark mounted his bicy- cle and pedaled it rapidly up the in- cline. Just before reaching the end of the incline at the proper place he jumped from the sealt and then jump ed towards the tank, the bicycle in the meantime falling into the net.
 Instead of falling directly into the center of the tank Stark struck the further edge of it head first and then fell into the tank apparently ifeless. Members of tlhe regiment jumped in and quickly had Stark out of the water but death had already taken place. His head had been crushed in.
 A. A. Duchnim, manager of the sports, was arrested on the technical charge of homicide and later paroled. He said that when Stark appeared at the armory in the afternoon he ap- peared to be very nervous and spoke of it.

PINGREES PARDONS.
Release of the Convicted Generals,
 White and Marsh.

Detroit, Mich, Dec P Tine city of Detroit is more excited over the gov ernors pardon of Generals White and Marsh, convicted of military swindling during the Spanish war, than it has been over any other occurrence in many months. White had not yet slept in Jackson prison when the par don was signed, but it did not reach him until this noon when he was re- leased. Marsh had been convicted, but was out on bail pending a motion for a new trial.
 Today in all places of business these pardions have been discussed and the evening papers are filled with brief in terviews with hundreds of citizens. The condemnation of Governor Pingree has bee nalmost universal The inter- views from interior towns have been particularly bitter
 The governor himself is reported to be in an unusually belligerent mood. There is no statute in Michigan which makes the performance of a condition attached to a pardon compulsory. A pardon is a pardon, and so the payment of 5000 each on the installment plan, such as the governor assessed on the men, is somewhat problematical. It is fair to say that the criticism called out by Whites pardon is much bitterer than that in regard to Marsh.
 White was a fugitive, his friends re- imbursed the state, he returned, plead- td guilty. Marsh stood trial, was con- victed, but was not looked upon as the originator of the conspiracy to defraud the state, while White has been gen orally so regarded.

VICTORIA'S HEALTH FAILING.
Dispatch to a New York Paper Says
 She Is Breaking Rapidly.

New York, Dec. 13.-A dispatch to the New York World from Winsdor, England, says: Much anxiety again prevails in court circles respecting the queens health. She has broken mo- ticeably since she was informed that Empress Frederick is suffering from cancer of the throat. Queen Victoria, who invariably eats and sleeps we'll, has now lost her appetite and passes sleepless nights. For years she never missed her morning ride in a donkey chaise around the private gardens un- til the last two weeks, when this was forbidden by her doctor, who ordered her instead to drive through the park in a. closed carriage.
 Sunday the queen stayed in her room the entire day, a thing she has not been known no do for years, and the report goes at the castle that she said she would not be surprised to hear of the death of Empress Frederick any day, as the doctors were afraid to per form an operation.
 It is whispered also that the queen falls into a doZe at meal times and the other day, while reviewing the CO., lonial volunteers, she fell asleep in her carriage. The windows were shut and she was rapidly driven home. A those around her that the queen is failing. The papers i'm London assert that the queen is in her usual health.

A CHILD'S MURDER.
William Gibson Confesses That He
 Burned Baby for Insurance.

Maysville, Ky, Dec. 13.-William Gibson. who tortured to death his little three-year-old step-daughter, near Catlettsburg, by burning its body, face and head with a redhot poker, gave way today under the strain, and to the jailer told the story of his crime. He implicated his wife, and said that the murder was for the purpose of collecting a small insurance on the child's life. Gibson says he does not remember the amount but it is stated that it was only s24. He says that the method of burning the childs body was adopted for the purpose of giving it the appearance of having the small pox and isolating the house so as to prevent a full investigation.

IA CUBAN RAILROAD
English Syndicate to Put Cap
 itaI in the Island.
Sure to Be Built from San Luis San tiago to Santa Clara a Distance of 335 Milestone in a Year.

Havana, Dec. 13.-Sir William Van Horne has arrived here from Santiago and Santa Clara. He says he expected | to find Cuba fertile, but what he had seen of the island really surpassed his expectations. He added that his syn dicate will acquire a strip of land from San Luis, Santiago, to Santa Clara, distance of 335 miles, by the process of separate purchases On the strip, which will have a minimum width of forty metres, the syndicate will build a railroad. Sir William expects that the work will be finished in eighteen months. About 5000 workmen will be required, and some of these may be imported from Galicia, Spain. Though he has no concessions to build the line, he expects no opposition from the local authorities, who, with the people, showed themselves delighted with the prospect of having a railroad.
 There will be no heavy gradients or tunnels. Ties will be imported for the two ends of the track until it reaches the wooded region, which will supply all the ties and timber necessary. Sir. William declares that the line is part of a scheme to develop the richest tract of country in the world. The syndicate will build branch lines, establish indus tries, encourage settlers and supply labor for the cultivation of sugar cane and other products. No subsidy will be asked for. Sir William said he did not know when the line would pay, but the scheme obviously would be ben- eficial to the country and people.
 Sir William asked that a denial be made of a statement which had apepar- ed in New York newspapers to the eff feet that he had had a meeting with Philadelphia capitalists for the purpose of devising plans to acquire all the in- dustries of Cuba. He declared that no such meeting had take nplace.
 The Diaro de la Marina prints an ex- tract from the Republica which con- trasts the duties paid in the United States on Porto Rican and Cuban su- gars, and which says that a reduction of 25 per cent in the present duty on Cuban sugar would make a difference of 1000 to an estate producing 50,000 sacks. The Republioa suggests that an appeal be made to Washington for a re- duction of the duty.
 The Diario de la Marina says that no such appeal should be made but to the constitutional convention, as Secretary of War Root has said in his report that he hoped the convention would solve the difficulties which militate against Cuba's prosperity, namely, lack of as- surance as to the stability of the future government and the uncertainty re- garding a market for Cuban produc- tions. The paper says the problems rest with the convention to give the island a government which will satis- fy the United States, and also to deter mine the relations to exist between Gu ba and the United States fin such a way as to satisfy the latter.
