DEATH OF ALFRED kRUPP.
Great German Gunmaker Dies from
Apopexy.

Berlin, Nov 23-Herr Krupp, the
great gunmaker and the wealthiest
man in Germany died suddenly from
apoplexy yesterday afternoon at his
villa at Huegel.
1t Is understood in Essen that the
great works created by Herr Krupp
will be placed in the hands of trus-
tees for the benefit of Frau Krupp. her
daughters and the collateral heirs. 1t
is said that the cousin of the de-
ceased, Arthur krupp of Berndorf,
will. become the head of the manage
ment.
Emperor William upon learning OF
the death of Herr Krupp, sent the
following telegram to the directors of
the works at Essen:
"The news of the unexpected death
of your chief deeply touches me
Providence had placed Privy Council
lor krupp at the head of an industry
that has won name far beyond the
borders of the fatherand. He made
it life task not only to maintain but
to extend in manner corresponding
to his universal renown the work be-
queathed to him by his gifted father
His name is intimately linked with
the development of the iron industry
the manufacture OF all kinds of arms
and modern defenses and ship build
ing. In his solicitude for his en-
ployes he was uneXcelled; he was a
model for every one, and was animat-
ed by spirit of loyalty and patriot
ism.
Therefore | feel most deeply, in
company with his thousands of en-
ployes, the loss of one who was ever
staunch and loyal supporter of the
empire"

Texas DeIuged With Rain.

Dallas, Tex, Nov. 25.-Heavy rains
fell throughout north and northeast
Texas again to-day, and as result the
situation is more serious than ever
Rivers are overtlowing their banks in
many places and nearly all railroads
are heavy sufferers. The Trinity river
at Dallas is rising at the rate of one
foot per hour.
The Texas & Pacific tracks are
washed out both east and west of Dal-
las and the Shreveport branch of the
Missouri Kansas & Texas is tied up
The Frisco is washed out between Fris-
co and Prosper The rain has been
heavier in that district than for years.
Trains on the Cotton Belt are seriously
delayed, and the Red river near Tex
arkana is on a rampage. Reports from
Tyler say the strawberry growing dis
trict has been seriously damaged. In
some instances entire fields have been
totally ruined. Country roads are dam
aged to the extent of many thousands
of dollars. From Mallakoff reports
come that cotton will not be worth
picking.

A GENERAL ADANCE
Of About 10 Per Cent. in Southern Half
of New England.

Boston, April IA general advance
f about 10 per cent. in the wages OF
he cotton mill operatives in the south
m half of New England went into eff
-ect, today, in practically every mill
own in the territory named, with the
reception of Fall River, where the in
crease was given last month. About
O,J0O employees began to earn higher
wages, this morning. and added to
some $1,000 in Fall River, more than
e. 900 hands or nearly half the entire
number in New England have already
shared in the present change in pay
schedules.
The manufacturers of Maine, New
Hampshire ard northern Massachu-
;etts have not posted notices. AS a re
suit many of their employees are on the
anxious seat and it is thought that some
action will be taken in a number OF
centers towards averting threatened
disturbances. The mill interests in
northern sections maintain that the
conditions governing the industry there

not warranted at this time. On the
other hand the officials assert that a
reduction in Fall River, New Bedforj

CAN SECURE PEACE.
Sixto Lopez Thinks He Can
Pacify the Fi|ipinos
If United States Will Give Them An
Idea of Future Status.
Sixto Thinks Better of Administrator,
As Time Rolls On.

Boston, April 7.-Sixto Lopez, who
has recently arrived in this city from
the Far East, in an interview, today,
announced that he was prepared to re-
turn to the Philippines and secure final
peace, providing the United States
gives some intimation to the F'ilipinos,
not necessarily of their immediate, but
of their ultimate status.
Regarding the order preventing his
return to the Philippines, he said that
the American authorities did not OBJ
ject to his landing in Manila provided
he took the oath of allegiance. He re-
fused, however. to take it, because he
did not believe that any one had n
right to interfere with his liberty of
conscience. He said he was prepare
to take oath not to aid or abet resis-
lance to American authority in the
Philippines.
He says he is less opposed to the ad-
ministration's policy as time advances,
because of the increasing tendency to
do that for which he has been appeal
ing, that is. that the Filipinos should
be given some intimation of their ulti-
mate status.
If the FilipinoS should be again ac-
corded the elementary civil right of
liberty to express their opinions, Senior
Lopez says he is prepared to urge them
TO cease hOstilities. This he says
would be his chief object in going to
the Philippines, for he believes he
could make such representations to
Malvar as would induce him to cease
fighting.
He says he has reason to believe that
when his object was explained by Mr..
Terrell and Capt. Dwyer to the civil
authorities at Manila, they were fav-
orable to the proposal, but Gen. Chat
fee would not listen to it.
In conclusion Senior Lopez says that
he believes that his task in securing
peace would be an easy one if Dr.
Schurmann's proposals are carried in
to effect.

IN DEATH HOUSE.
Patrick Sentenced to Die in
the Electric Chair.
Motion for New Trial Denied and tx
pected Appeal Is Taken.
Patrick Taken to Sing Sing and Placed
in Death House.

New York, April ALBERT T. Pat
rick. who was convicted, March &C. of
the murder of VIM. Marsh Rice, was
sentenced. today, by Recorder Golf to
he put to death in the electric chair at
Sing Sing, May D. Rice died in TINS
city, Sept. %, 1900.
An appeal to be made to the court of
appeals by Patrick's counsel will act as
Il stay of execution pending decision
by the higher court. The recorder in
pronouncing sentence made no com
ment on the jury's verdict.
To the customary question as to
whether the defendant had anything
to say why judgment should not be
pronounced, Mr.. House, Patrick's chief
counsel, said that he desired to make
n motion for a new trial because the
verdict was contrary to law; because
it was clearly against the evidence;
because it was against the weight OF
evidence; because the court erred in
ID nying the defendants motion to ad-
wise the jury to acquit; because the
court admitted illegal and improper
evidence against the defendants ObJec-
ton; because the court excluded legal
evidence offered by the defendant: be-
cause the court misdirected the jury in
matters of law; because the court re-
fused to direct the prosecution to elect
upon which count of the Indictment it
would submit the question of the guilt
or innocence of the defendant, and be
cause it did not appear from the record
of the verdict of what crime the de-
PENDANT had been found guilty.
The recorder denied the motion for
a new trial. Mr.. House took an eX-
ception and moved for an arrest of
judgment. This was denied and sem
tence was then pronounced by the re-
corder.
OssininG was reached at 2.20 p. NJ.
Before entering the carriage which
was to take him to the prison, Patrick
kissed his wife and said goodbye. At
the prison his beard was shaved off and
he was placed in cell in the death
house. He will not be required to wear
the prison uniform while he remains
at Sing Sing.

CASE OF ENDURANCE.
American Wooden Cos. Trouble Will
Be Long and Bitter Fight.

Providence, r. l., April THE strike
of weavers as a protest against the
double loom system, as carried on bS
the American Wooden Co in its mills
has after an existence of II weeks
reached a stage where the prospect OF
settlement has been eliminated and the
battle is now one of endurance.
The strikers have succeeded in shut
ting off the output of II mills with 210t
looms and they are planning to further
add to this number. They annOunce
that they will call out the weavers il
two additional mills, this week.
On the other hand, the American
Wooden Co., it is learned, has definitely
decided to lose the entire seasons bust
ness rather than abolish the double
loom plan on fancy worsteds.
