Its Contact With Grounded sIoop,
Which it Would Have Destroyed.

New York, Nov. 25.-Charles Bergh,
boatswain on the submarine torpedo
boat Fulton, performed most remark
able feat of daring at New Suffolk, Long
island. It was shortly after he left the
Fulton, after being under water in the
submarine boat all night. A fierce gale
was raging, and the tide was so high
that there was three feet of water in the
streets~of New Suffolk. Three large
s.oops had been driven ashore before the
gaia5 and the crowd OF spectators on the
Holland Torpedo Boat Company's wharf
noticed what appeared to be large pile
driving toward one of the sloops that
was ashore. The Fulton's crew recog-
niged that the drifting object was a
Whithead torpedo dummy weighing $40
pounds. They saw 1t when it was less
than fifty feet from the sloop, which it
would have completely wrecked. Bergh
tho hampered by his overcoat and rub
her boots jumped overheard, fought his
way to the torpedo and reached it in
time to prevent it from striking the
sloop. He steered it safely ashore, where
j. was hauled from the water. 1t had
been floated from the wharf by the high

On cross examination he testified there

the tragedy occurred, testified that on

Ayres knocked at her door and asked IL
she had any sugar. He told her he was
going away and wanted to make some
cocoa. She gave him the sugar. About
ten minutes later he knocked again and
asked if she did not want a cup. She re-
piled that she did not care for it. About
10 O'Clock she retired. She was slightly

Pittsburg, Nov. 25-Four persons were

stroyed the residence of j. G. Miller, OF
Knoxville, a suburb Of this city. The
dead are:

Mr.. and Mrs. Miller were severely
burned while trying to rescue their
daughters. Two other daughters es-
capped without injury. The fire was
caused by the eldest daughter pouring
kerosene into the stove to start a fire for
breakfast. The oil in the can ignited and
the explosion which followed scattered
the burning oil over the room. The
flames spread so quickly that Miller was
forced to jump from second-story
window after rescuing his wife and two
younger daughters. Rose was burned
almost to crisp and died before reach
ing the hospital The three others were
suffocated by smoke. Mrs. Miller was
just recovering from a severe illness and
fears are entertained that she will not
survive the shock.

enormous undertaking, as the mine is
a drift mine. Mine experts claim there
is great danger of explosions by flood
ing the mine, as when water comes in
contact with the fire the generation OF
gas will be so great as to possibly blow
away the whole side of the mountain.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The United

down an opinion in the case of Cotting
and Higinson against A. A. GODDARD, at
torney general of the state OF Kansas.
and the Kansas City Stock Yards Com
pany, involving the validity of the state
law of Kansas empowering the state
authorities to fix rates Of charges on
stock yards in that state. The decree of
the circuit court. which upheld the law,
was reversed Cotting and Higinson
were stockholders in the Stock Yards
Company and soon after the law went
into effect, in 1897, they filed a bill in the
United States circuit court for the dis
trict of Kansas against the company
and it's officers and the attorney gem
eral of the state of Kansas, to restrain
the officers of the company from COM
plying with, and the attorney general
from enforcing its provisions, on the
ground that it's compliance or enforce
ment would deprive the company OF Its
property without due process OF law. II
was also contended that the act was
class legislation. The circuit court dis
missed the bill of complaint and appear
was taken to the supreme court. Justice
Brewer handed down the opinion of the
court today. He did not state in detail
the reasons for the courts decision, but
merely announced the result. The en-
tire court concurred in the decree, but
not in all of Brewers reasoning. It was
claimed on behalf of the Stock Yards
Company that enforcement of the law
would have had the effect of reducing
the receipts of the company one half.

WILHELMINA ILL.
A Quarrel With Her Prince consort

otSlOHs
Amsterdam, Nov. 25.-The following
particulars in connection with Queen
Wilhelmina's illness was published. 1t
seems that before his marriage Prince
Henry lived for time at place which
was beyond his means, and as a conse-
quence fell into the hands of money
lenders. The debts which he contracted
in those days were to De settled after his
marriage with the rich young queen,
and quite recently Henry made a clean
breast of the matter to her. Upon
learning all the particulars Queen Will
helmina declined point blank to pay her
consort's debts, the result being that a
very violent scene took place between
them, which ended in Henry rushing off
to Germany, and Wilhelmina being TAX

pioring kilograms sent to him by the
queens mother induced Henry to return
to Holland The queens mother Is anx-
ious to preserve appearances at least.
Since his return to Holland Henry has
not been once to the palace where his
queen is. As a proof of the serious
character of the queens illness in spite
OF all reassuring reports to the contrary
may be mentioned the fact that the re-
cent official Gazette did not contain a
single royal command, which is an un-
precedented state of things.

NEGROES Lynch Negro.

Shreveport, La, Nov. 25.-The par
ticulars of sensational murder and
lynching have just reached this city
from Herndon plantation, about eight
miles below Shreveport The most cur
ious feature of the affair is that the
men who did the lynching were negroes.
and strung up one of their own race.
The negro avengers not only deter
mined upon the summary execution of
their victim, but took him from the
hands of white officer for that pur-.
pose. Saturday night Frank Thomas, q
negro employed on the Amelie plan
tation. shot and killed a 14-year-old
negro boy named Wilburn. over debt
of 80 cents. The killing was witnessed
by a number of negroes. This morning
deputy sheriff arrested Thomas and
was proceeding toward Shreveport
with his prisoner when a mob OF 200
negroes suddenly appeared. took pos
session of Thomas and promptly strung
him up to the limb of tree.

clared it's intention to contest every
inch of ground IL an entrance to the city
is effected. 1t is reported that some
seventy who We're wounded at Perequito
were landed on the island Of Taboga,
facing Panama harbor, to avoid Great
ing alarm in Panama. Toboga is about
eight miles from Panama.
The government is very anxious that
marines should be landed from the

tain Perry, her commander. has not
complied with this request.
The Boyaca returned to Panama
second time Saturday afternoon, with
General Alban and few men. The gov
ernment claims to have effected a land
ing at Chorrera, routing the enemy and
recovering all the prisoners previously
reported taken, with the exception of
two. Among the number recovered. ac-
cording to the government version, is
the alcalde of Taboga.
The liberal version of the incident is
that the alcalde was afraid to fight, and
when captured offered Domingo Diaz,
the liberal leader, $1,000 If he would re-
lease him; that the offer was accepted,
and that the alcalde was allowed to go,
after giving his word Of honor not to at
tempt to escape The liberals also as
sert that General Alban effected land
ing at Chorrera after the liberals had
withdrawn to join the liberal forces
marching to the Empire station.
1t is asserted that the steamer Darien,
which the liberals recently captured
from the government. escaped from
Boyaca, under cover of night. but it Is
generally believed that she went to
Tumaco some time ago.
The government claims that the
Chorrera troops are momentarily ex-
pecte dat Panama and that ON their ar
rival there preparations will be made to
that the attacks will not cease until Co
Ion has been recaptured.
Great hopes are entertained that the
news of the capture of Colon will induce
