L0UBET MAY COME.
President of France Will he Invited
to st. Louis Exposition.

Paris, Nov. 16.-Deputy DeLoncle
has been interviewed with regard to
his statement at the banquet of the
Industrial, Commercial and Economical
Society Friday that he had received
information that the st. Louis Expo
sition Commission had decided to in
vite President Loubet to visit America
He says the matter was not intended
to be made public yet. Two years ago
he mentioned to the exposition officials
the possibility of a visit from President
Loubet. 1t was a mere after dinner
remark, to which he did not attach
much Importance. He was surprised, he
says, when he received information
from st. Louis that the idea might
materialize and that a proposal to ex-
tend a formal invitation to President
Loubet to visit the exposition was be-
ing considered seriously.
Il attribute this action" NJ. deLon-
Gle continued. ito a warm and pro-
found liking on the part of Americans
for France. especially since the Ro-
chambeau fetes. The journey of Prince
Henry of Prussia to the United States
has also made many American friends

There are few events in the history
of France more glorious than the ces-
sion of Louisiana by Napoleon Bona
parte when he was first consul. The
st. Louis Exposition Commission
doubtless believes that the best way of
showing Americas ora tifude IN E,raDca
would be to invite the President of
the Third French Republic to the CEN
tenary celebration of this act of the
first republic. The journey would be
quite constitutional, for precedents ex-
list in the visits to Russia of the late
President Faure and of President Lou
bet himself. 1t has been said that
King Edward may go to the St. Louis
exposition, and it is probable that the
King of the Belgians will also pay the
exposition a visit. If President Loubet
goes he would certainly make a more
triumphant trip than did Prince Henry
of Prussia"

EIGHT SURVIVORS.
Sixteen Persons Feed on Two An
cued From the IlI-Fated EIingam-

lite.
London, Nov. 1.-THE Daily Mails
correspondent at Wellington, N. H.,
telegraphs that the eight survivors
from the wreck of the British steamer
Elingamite, who were rescued on a
raft by the British survey at Penguin,
went through a dreadful experience.
The raft from which they were taken
measured IL feet long by wide, and
had sixteen persons on it when it left
the wreck The only food on board
was two apples. The first apples was
consumed on Tuesday and the second
on Wednesday, each being divided into
sixteen portions.
From Sunday, the day they were
wrecked, until Thursday, when they
were rescued, the survivors drifted
sixty miles on the half-submerged
raft.
Several attempts were made to land
on Three Kings Islands, but without
success. Three men died on Monday
night from drinking salt water All
of the survivors suffered the tortures
of thirst, and four other men and the
stewardess died of exhaustion before
they were picked UP by the Penguin.
They had a cruel disappointment on
Tuesday night. A steamer was sight
ed in the distance and frantic shouts
were raised by those on the raft to
attract attention. The steamer lowered
boat, which passed within fifty yards
of Them but the boats crew apparent
ly did not see the raft and returned
to their vessel.
When the Penguin was sighted only
one of the survivors was able to
stand. They were terribly emaciated.

Sioux City. Ia. Nov. 16.-The big
plant of Armour & Co, which occupied
three and one-half acres of ground
at the extreme south end of the stock
yards, was totally destroyed by fire,
which started at 1880 o'clock this
morning on the second floor of the fer
tilizer building. The loss is estimated
by Charles Lennon. manager of the
company, at 100000 The insurance Is
1921 500.
The cause of the fire was said by
Mr.. Lennon to have been either spon-
taneous combustion or an imperfect
dryer.
Six hundred men will be thrown out
of employment all the winter by the
fire. The flames were discovered by a
Waterman of the building who only a
few minutes before had pulled a mes
senger box on the floor where the
flames started
The fertilizer building. which was of
brick, 12O by so feet. four stories high,
caught first. The floors and contents
of the building burned like chaff. At
1:25 o'clock the roof fell i'm and a mo-

about five minutes, when it fell with
a great crash.
From the beef-killing house to the
oleomargarine building was only a step
and when the lard was ignited
the fire presented a most spectacular
appearance The big beef house, where
500 carcasses were hanging, caught at
O'Clock. BY this time the entire plant,
except the hog house was afire. The
roar was terrible. Twenty-four drums
OF 100 pounds of ammonia each explod-
ed before the reserve supply in the am
monia cistern was reached. That igni-
ton almost RACED the entire plant from
its foundation.
The flames next burst through the
heavy fire wall that separated the big
hog house. the biggest of all. from the
other buildings. Not scrap of paper
was saved from the office. A burning
roof of chute fell upon bunch
of live hogs and their saueals
were added to the appalling
chorus.
In the building were $500 dressed
hogs and 100000 pounds of pork pro-
duct.
After the fire got a good Roadway in
the hog house all hope Of saving any
part of the plant was abandoned Tna

LAB0RlNG MEN.
Executive Council Probably VIII
Increase From Nine TO Eleven
Members.

Executive Council Probably VIII
Increase From Nine to Eleven
Members.
New Orleans, Nov. 16.-There is a
strong probability that the Executive
Council of the American Federation of
Labor will be enlarged from nine to
eleven members at the present con-
vention. and that one of the additional
members will be a representative of
the socialistic wing of the labor
unions. The socialists claim that they
control nearly one-third of the votes
cast in the convention, and feel fair
ly confident of getting one man into
the board. There is a strong elemeNt
opposed to the increase in number, and
the socialists say they do not expect to
win without a fight, but they do ex-
pect to have won that much when the
fight is over. But two cities have so
far been mentioned as the place for
the next convention-Buffalo and Mil
Waukee. The latter place claims the
better right, as it has been a candi-
date three times, and on each occa-
sion has withdrawn in favor of the
place in which the convention was
held.
w. E. Kennedy, general organizer of
the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
has prepared resolution which he ex-
poets will raise something of con-
test upon the floor of the convention
1t is to the effect that the present
local government of the District of
Columbia is antique and obsolete, and
that the residents of the district should
be allowed to vote.
The resolution is certain of opposi-
ton, as it is the avowed policy OF the
federation to refrain from political
matters.
The visiting delegates were hand
somely entertained to-day by the local
laboring men.

Pretender Suppressed by the Sultan
IL. a Short Time.
Tangiers, Morocco, Nov. 16.-Accord-
ing to a report which has reached here
from Fee, the imperial troops have
succeeded in capturing the Pretender
to the throne.
1t is stated that the Sultan, at the
head of an army of $4,000 men, will
direct in person the operations to put
down the uprising of the Kabyle
tribesmen at Zemour.
Previous dispatches announced that
the Sultan, with the entire Moorish
army, was to leave Fee on Nov. 10 to
suppress the rebellion started by the
Pretender. The latter began his mis-
sion among the most ignorant and SUI
perstitious of the Berber tribes. He
at first confined himself to few con-
1uring tricks, but his success encour-
aged him to attempt bigger things.
The Pretender is nicknamed Blu
Hamare." meaning Father of She
ASS" because he never rode on any
thing but a small donkey.

Now Causing Alarm.
Manila, Nov. 16.-The number of
cholera cases is increasing in this city
ing some alarm. There are on an av-
erage of thirty cases daily. The Funst
reserve hospital, the casual camp at
Santa Mesa and Bilibid prison, are
now included among the places infect
ed. The disease is spreading to the
Marquina valley, where the danger of
an infection of the water supply is re-
garded as grave. Should the water
supply become infected general cpl
demic is considered inevitable.
The cholera reports from the prov
inces show a decrease in the number
of cases.

Brussels, Nov. 16.-According to some

examination before the magistrate, de-
clared that he selected King Leopold
for his attack on account of his majes-

daughter, Princess Stephanie, at the
time of her mothers death, and he also
wished to show to the anarchists in
London who doubted his loyalty, that,
while they talked, he acted. He would
have killed King Edward. he added,
but for the strong feeling of the Eng
lish people in favor of the monarchy.

RUBINO THE MAN.
Ministry of Interior Has Establish

Rome, Nov. 16.-The Ministry of the
Interior has established the identity
of the assailant of King Leopold. His
name is Gennero Rubino, and he is
described in their records as an ad-
vanced socialist. He was condemned
to a long term of Imprisonment for
stealing at Milan in 1S93 but he eff
fected his escape to England, where
he is supposed to have imbibed his
anarchist principles.
His father was "a patriotic commun-
al councillor, but Rubino, while still
serving in the army, was convicted to
five years detention for writing a
subservise newspaper article. These
are the only criminal records that have
been found against him. Since leav-
ing Italy, he has resided continuously
in Scotland and England, first in Glas-
gov and afterwards in London. Some
years ago he was accused of treach-
cry by his anarchist friends and ex-
PEELED from their ranks.

Put in Force.
Washington. Jan. 20.--Having failed.
after two years strife, in subduing the
insurrection in Batangas province,
which lies just south of Manila, and
treatment of the insurgents is produc-
tive of no good results Gen. j. Frank
lin Bell, the military commander, in
that province, has determined on the
enforcement of the war in the most
vigorous and determined fashion, in
volving recommendation in a modified
form, the application of martial law in
all directions. and the unsparing pur-
suit and. punishment of the natives
who act as spies and traitors to the
United States. All this appears from
long report to the War Department
just published.
The recommendation order is dated
at Batangas, Dec. 8. last. In substance
it provides for the establishment Of a
zone around the garrisons, into which
the friendly inhabitants are to be re-
quired to come under penalty of con-
Acc tsO,, II -
erty. This is said to be
necessary to prevent the collec-
tion of forced contributions from the
Inhabitants by the insurgents. The
military officers are allowed to fix the
price of the necessaries of life, and it
is promised that the people may re-
turn as soon as peaceful conditions
are established.
This order is followed by a long cir
cular by Gen. Bell to his station COM
manders, commenting on existing con-
ditions and giving them advice how
to proceed. 1t begins with the state
ment that he shares in the general con-
viction that the insurrection continues
because the greater part of the people,
especially the wealthier ones. do nor
really want peace. He says ii is re-
grettable that the innocent must suffer
with the guilty, but the greatest good
to the greatest number can be best
brought about by putting a prompt
end to the insurrection. Therefore he
directs the application of General Or
der 100, in force during the Civil War
in the United States, which practically
regards an insurgent as a guerrilla,
and outside the pale of civilized war
fare and subject to the death penalty
wherever such insurgent does not en-
gage continuously in the war and OBJ
serve all the rules of war. However,
it is provided that there shall be no
executions without the approval of a
superior officer.

MANNERS IS ED0UARD KERN.
Mr. Thebaud Identifies the Man Who
Robbed Him of 100000 in JeweIry
ana Diamonds.

New Orleans. Jan. 2O.-P. G. The
baud of New York to-day fully identi-
fed 7. E. Manners, the prisoner in the
Jail at Gretna, as Edouard Kern, Jr.,
his late valet, who robbed the Thebaud
mansion in New York of $6OOOO worth
of diamonds and jewelry.
Thebaud and Kelly went to Gretna
early to-day, but had to wait for some-
time for the sheriff to put in an ap-
pearance. When he arrived the New
York men were taken to the jail. The
moment Mr.. Thebaud laid eyes on
Manners he said the man was Kern.
Manners made no further denial of
his identity. Detective Kelly has with
him the necessary papers to take Kern
back to New York. These will be at
once laid before Gov. Heard and that
official has promised 10 sign the eX-
tradition at once. Klein and West,
the two men who were arrested for
stealing Manners trunk from the st.
Charles Hotel and betrayed Kern, will,
it is expected, get off with light pun
ishment. Their case is to come up on
Tuesday. Kern will be taken to New
York as soon as the hearing of Klein
and West is concluded.
Mr. Thebaud identified all the jewelry
stolen from Manners room in the st.
Charles as belonging to him. The New
Orleans police have made an affidavit
against Kern, alias Manners, as ma
terial witness in the case against
Klein and West.
