Sugar Plant for Cuba.

What may be the first step in the con-
solidation of the various large sugar in
terests in the island of Cuba, or the pur-
chase of these interests by American capt.
talists, has been taken. The Chappara
Sugar company of Cuba, with offices in
this city, has placed contracts in this
country aggregating over 100000 for
the equipment of the largest sugar plant
ever built in Cuba. The company, of
which ex-Congressman Hawley of Texas is
president and in which H. H. HoweIson
& Co. and Theodore Havemeyer are large
ly interested, has acquired $4,000 acres of
land in eastern Cuba.

ST. Petersburg Affairs.

st. Petersburg, March 25.-The po-
litical situation is so serious that EN-
peror Nicholas held a meeting of the
ministers yesterday to consider the
state of public affairs. Threatening
letters have been received by Lieuten-
ant General Kouropatkine, minister of
war; M. Mouravieff, minister of JUS
tice, and M. Sipagnine, minister of the
interior.
1t is reported that Prince Viazemsky
has been disgraced for petitioning the
car to consider grievances of the stu
dents.
Lagowski, the provincial official who
last Friday. attempted to assassinate
Privy Councillor Pobedonostzeff, pro-
curator general of the holy synod, is a
disciple of Count Leo Tolstoi, and has
asserted that the act was one of re-
venge for the accommodation of Toll
stoi.
According to special dispatch to the
Rossyia, the governor general of Kieff,
General Dragomiroff, has issued a riot
order, similar to that published by Gen
eral Klekgels in st. Petersburg, and de-
claring that the military will be called
out unles sthe ordinance is strictly
obeyed.
The day passed quietly in st. Peters
burg. Some 10000 persons promenad-
ed about noon along the Nevsky Pros
pekt, particularly in front of the cathe-
dral Of Our Lady of Kazan. The crowd
dwindled to normal proportions when
it became apparent that nothing would
happen. The promenaders were for
the great part curiosity seekers.
The czar presided at the council of
ministers, which was convened at the
Tsarskoe-Sele palace. 1t was decided
not to abolish the law for drafting re-
calcitrant students into the army, but
for the present to refrain from apply
ing the law. 1t was also resolved to
revise the university statute.
The decision of the council of min
listers is regarded as a step in the right
direction, because it is an attempt at a
partial remedy of the grievances of the
students.
Kapovich, the assassin of M. Bogolie-
poff, Russian minister of public instruc-
ton, has been sentenced to hard labor
for life. He will be imprisoned in the
Chusselberg fortress, on an island in
the Neva.

Topeka, Kan, March 25-Mrs. Nation
has dissolved partnership with Nick
Chiles, the colored publisher. She will
hereafter endeavor to edit and have print
ed her paper, The Smasher's Mail, with
out his assistance. The trouble grew out
of the suppression by Chiles of an editor
ial written by Mrs. Nation scoring Dis
trict Judge Hazen, before whom she has
appeared number of times
Mrs Nation says she has turned over
to him the sum of $247 in cash, beside
what he has collected to maintain the
paper.
and" she said, eff pay for the PRINT
ing of the paper guess 1 will have it as
| want it,"
She accuses Judge Hazen of keeping her
editorial out of the paper, and says she
won't stand for it.
Chiles is a colored politician of some
note and recently went on Mrs. Nations
bond. He publishes a weekly paper for
colOred people. Mrs. Nation proposes to
hire an Independent printer and viii see
that everything she writes gets into her
paper.

TRAIN Of OIL CARS AbLAZE
SET A SMALL TOWN AFIRE
Moving Train Broke in Two and the
Two sections Came Together and
OIL ExpIodcd-Stream of Blazing

New York, March 25.-A river of
flaming oil swept down upon the little
village of Glengarden, N. j., while it's
inhabitants were alseep Sunday morn
ing and reduced IL buildings, stores
and residences to ashes. The confiagra-
ton was extraordinary in character
and in its origin.
The village is in a valley along the
line of the Jersey Central railroad. An
immense freight train was coming east
at $50 a. M. 1t was composed of a
string of coal cars and IS tank cars.
High above the village the track of the
railroad run along the side of noun
tain. They descend as they approach
the village, but even at the station are
considerably above the main street,
which runs up to the depot at steep
incline.
A few miles west of the village, while
coming down the incline around the
mountain, the train parted The engi-
neer on the forward end pulled open
the throttle of the engine and tried to
race away from the section, which was
increasing its speed every second. He

cars until he got opposite the depot at
Glengarden, when the second section
smashed into the first The first sec
ton, composed of coal cars, was going
at high rate of speed and none of it's
cars were jolted off the track. The for
ward car, one of the oil tanks of the
railway section, was hurled sidewisc
across the track and the tank cars be-
hind were piled upon top of it in every
way. The first crash caused the oil in
one of the tanks to explode and ignite
and the terrific heat caused the other
cars to explode, one after the other.
The incline running from the depot to
the main street acted as a sluice for the
burning oil and it poured into the chief
thoroughfare of the village, setting fire
to everything it touched. Houses,
fences, trees, shrubbery and barns were
reduced to ashes in an incredibly short
time.
Villagers awakened by the explosion
rushed from the oncoming flood of blaz-
ing oil, carrying children in their arms.
Some risked their lives to free horses,
COWS and dogs in outbuildings, but 9TH
er unfortunate animals could not be
reached in time and were burned.
Within five minutes after the first ex-
plosion the flowing river of oil had
reached Masonic temple in the heart Of
the village and 10 minutes later that
structure was enveloped in flames
Then building after building ignited
after the oil reached them, and within
half an hour the area Of 400 feet square
was a mass of flame. From the wreck
ed cars the oil also flowed down the in
cline of the railroad track, making a
long line of fire that destroyed the ties
and bent and twisted rails. Loss, 1885,
900 to 100000.

Did you ever stop to think, you who
read the advertisement In the ncWspa-
pers, Just what 1t means to get up thu
lad" every day for big department
store? The man in charge usually has
a staff of assistants, who are assigned
to certain departments of the store

selves with the stock of these depart
ments, while the manager of the adj
vertising department himself is sup
posed to keep thoroughly in touch
with the entire stock of the store. He
writes the general Introduction to the
advertisement each day and edits the
copy turned in to him by his assistants,
lust as an editor handles the copy OF
