The Gore Tragedy.

Paris, Nov. 25--The second exami
nation of the body of Ellen Gore, the
American musical student who was shot
and killed last week, was made this
morning by four American doctors in
the presence of the French physician
who conducted the first examination,
and representative of the American
Consul. This examination showed that
the bullet had pursued an almost hori-
zontal line, the wound at the back being
barely half an inch higher than the
wound in the eye. This would seems to
disprove the statement that the shot
came from an angle from the floor, unless
the dead woman was leaning forward as
Rydzewski stated. The physicians de-
clined to give an opinion until they had
communicated with United States Con-
sui General Gowdey.
Since his provisional release yesterday,
Rydzewski, the Russian implicated in
the shooting, acting on his lawyer advice,
has concealed himself in the house Of
friends. This provisional release does
not indicate a cessation of proceedings
against Rydzewski. 1t merely means
that he has been allowed personal liberty
pending trial. The interment of Mrs.
Cores remains will take place tomorrow
in the Protestant Cemetery of Paris.
Consul General Gowdey will encase the

stood, comes from that place, and all the
large industries and also the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroads new shops to be
opened there will receive motive power
from this source. The projectors have
contracted for large number of poles to
be erected along the line from the dam
to that place, and other equipments are
being secured, including feed wire, etc.

THAT President Roosevelt is making
himself more unpopular in the South
every day he lives is the observation OF
all who watch the way the straws blow.
The republicans are chagrined at his an
tics. while the democrats have long since
weighed him in the balance to his detri-
ment. The republicans realize that ali
their hopes of breaking the solid South
have been shattered by Mr.. Roosevelt s
capriciousness, knowing as they do
that, since his break in entertaining
Booker Washington and the appointment
of negroes over white men in the South,
the lines will be drawn more close
ly than ever by southern democrats for
protection from negro domination.
Representative William Richardson, of
Alabama, portrays true conditions when
he says that the President has complete
ly estranged himself from the republic
cans of the South, which he says will be
evident when the next national repub-
lican convention meets. He further
says that the Presidents attitude to-
ward ''lily white" republican party in
the South has made him many enemies.
"Down in Alabama" Mr.. Richardson
says, 'the republicans are Disguised
with the President for allowing negro
to dictate federal appointments, and be-
cause of the Presidents ultra-friendli-
ness to the colored men, to the detri-
ment of the whites in general" Mr..
Richardson thinks Alabama will send a
delegation to the metropolitan national
convention opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt.

a Related Denial.

Memphis Tenn, Nov. 25.-BOoker
T. Washington did not dine at the
White House table as the guest of
President Roosevelt and family is the
announcement made by General Marcus
J. Wright, of the War Department in
Washington, who has been visiting in
Memphis for number of days. 'The
whole truth of the matter is this" said
General Wright: president Roose-
welt had been anxious for some time to
obtain truthful light OH the situation
in the South. Finally at the suggestion
of number of southern and northern
men of both great political parties he
sent a message to Booker Washington,
asking him to come to the capital for a
conference regarding the negro, his
needs, and his capabilities. Washing
ton came and the conference which was
started in the Presidents executive
office and was changed to his private
office because OF repeated interruptions,
continued for five hours. In the
midst of the conference between the
President and Washington, lunch was
sent to the Chief Executive of the
nation. Desiring to continue the con-
versation aud rather than lose the time
necessary for Washington to go to
lunch, President Roosevelt thereupon
ordered that lunch be served the negro
educator in the same room. Now this
was all there was to that story. Wash
ington did hot dine at the White House
table and did not break bread with the
Presidents wife and daughter and was
in no sense guest on terms of social
enuality.D

TUESDAY EVENING, NOV. %, 1902

DISPATCHES from Havana yesterday
represented a reign of terror in that city,
the outcome of a strike of cigarmakers
who became possessed of the hallucina-
ton that everyone else in the city snouiq
leave their work in consequence. Inc
employees of the street car lines refused
to follow their example, and, as result
the cars were attacked, innocent pas
sengers roughly treated and their lives
endangered. To make matters worse
the rioters are said to have had the
sympathy Of the mayor and the secretary
of the government. President Palma
had to use his power in order to bring
the disorder TO close. In the mean
time the rioters are endeavorlng 10 IN
augurate general strike throughout the
island. Cuba has for many years been
hotbed of sedition. Rebellion against
Spanish rule had long been chronic be-
fore the United States espoused the cause
of the malcontents and wrested the island
from the Spanish crown. The same
hornets nest exists now in one form or
another. If many of the inhabitants are
not in arms on one issue they Will be on
another, and now that American methods
have been introduced in the island they
have Immediately caught on to the strike
mania and become easy subjects OF tina
modern distemper. Tranquility vii
doubtless prove but temporary lull II
the storm, and sooner or later this coun'
try will be forced to use its power tc
prevent chaos from following the So
called independence of the island. Inc
United States is confronted by the two
horns of the dilemmazz4either to Absorb
Cuba into its dominions or be compelled
every six months to restore order in the
island. Intervention" was limited al
in Yesterdays dispatches, and that this
country will sooner or later Make the
disorders in Cuba pretext for an
nexing the island is believed by most
observing people.

An Agreement Reached.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 20:


President John Mitchell Of the mine
workers who, with his attorney, Mr..
barrow. was summoned to Washington
Yesterday by Attorney Wayne Mac
Veagb. representing the coal operators,
arrived early this morning. 1t is
stated that the reason for holding the
conference in Washington instead OF at
Scranton is the condition of Mr.. Mac
Veagh's health. He is considerably
worn out, owing to the severe strain ne
underwent during his long examination
of Mr.. Mitchell last week. 1t Is felt
here that the conference today will be
productive of substantial results III the
way of permanent settlement OF the
strike. Mr.. Mitchell went to the New
Willard Hotel where he met his associ-
ates and advisors, Attorney Darrow,
Henry Demorest Doyd, the Chicago
political economist, kellogg Durland,
the Boston sociologist, and Miss f. Q.
Morris. President MitchelPs secretary.
Mr.. WAYNE MacVeagh put in his APP
pearance at the hotel at 1910 and took
the elevator bound for room No. liz, to
discuss proposition looking to an
amicable agreement between operators
and miners.
An amicable agreement has been
reached by the representatives OF the
United Mine Workers Union and the
anthracite coal operators. Attorney
MacVeagh left the conference at Halo
o'clock. 1t is announced that upon his
return formal statement Of the terms
of the agreement will be given out.
Mr.. MacVeagh returned to the con-
ference at 12:l5 and recess was taken at
l2:45. Mr.. barrow then made the fol-
lowing statement for publication. "The
main features in controversy have been
agreed upon. Minor details are yet unset
tied. What these main features and minol
details are | am not at liberty to state
The main features, | may say, have beer
correctly, or nearly correctly, stated in
the public press. "a 10 per cent in
crease in wages and nine-hour week
day. There are so many important
people in interest that it is difficult t.
come to an understanding quickly, al
further information is needed. My owl
view is that settlement will be reached
in all the details. AS far as Mr.. Nc
Veagh is concerned, he nominally rep
resents only the Erie interests, that il
the Pennsylvania Coal Company anC
the Hillside Coal Company, in this mat
ter. Broadly speaking, he represent
more. We have been going over thu
propositions back and forth, and have
not vet concluded. We will meet agall
at 9 p. m. If we can agree on all thu
points at Issue, and believe we can
the work of the Anthracite Commission
will be made much easier. Their worl
will 90 on, however, and our agreemen
will become a part of their award" MIR
Mitchell said that he expected to return
to Scranton this evening. Mr.. Darrov
said that he could not tell whether an
other meeting of conferees would b
held tomorrow or not.
The conference of Wayne McVeagl
and John Mitchell and his advisor
was resumed after 2.30. Carroll ID
Wright, member and recorder of the An
thracite Coal Commission, was with tn
confrees for time Mr.. McVeagh, be
fore the meeting was resumed, said h
did not believe any definite agreemen
would be reached today.

CAUTION.

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and a remedy that has had the largest
sale of any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment of Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult
expectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. The 20 cents size
has just been introduced this year.
Regular size IS cents. For sale by Els.

IT Is admitted by the republicans
that the Colorado legislature as elected
on the 4th instant is democratic on joint
ballot, though the lower branch of that
body is republican This is enough for
them. A ''free ballot and fair count"
is good enough for them to pirate about,
but when there is United States Sena-
tor at stake they change their tune. Mr..
Teller is in their way and they want
his seat for Mr.. Walcott, Mr. Walsh or
some other republican millionaire, so,
to accomplish their object they now
openly talk of turning out of the Color
ado house q sufficient number of demo-
Gratis and giving their seats to republic
cans to make the legislaturesof that State
republican on joint ballot. And this is
the party that talks OF honest elections |!

SPAIN NOT LIABLE. The Spanish
Claims Commission has enunciated the
principles by which it will be governed
in passing upon the demurrers which
have been submitted to it in connection
with the claims now under consideration
on account of the war between Spain
and Cuba. The general basis is laid
down that in assuming the responsibility,
which would otherwise have been SPANS,
the United States is bound to pay all
claims for which Spain could have been
held. 1t is further held that the insur-
rection in Cuba had gone beyond the
control of the Spanish government and
that it was not responsible for damages
done to foreigners by the insurgents.
If, however, it be shown that the Spanish
authorities might have prevented the
damage done in any particular case by
the exercise of due diligence the COM
mission announces that it will hold that
Spain was liable.

THE ENoRMITY of the pension roll
and vast sum of money required to pay
pensions are hardly realized by the
average reader and the worst of all is
that the list of pensioners is increasing,
although the war which made most of

eight years. Secretary Hitchcock in his
annual report states that during the past
year the gains to the pension rolls were
1882, while the losses by death and
other causes were AZ, 24l, leaving net
gain of LII. utthe climax is reached

not be long before these lis, AGA names
