STRIKE ON THE BLACK SEA.
Russians Employed in Rothschilds
 Petroleum Mills Get Desperate.

Tifiis, Trans-Caucasia, Russia, March 23. The official Caucausus Gazette reports strike among the men employed at the Rothschilds petroleum works at Batoum, on the Black Sea.
 According to this newspaper, three hun dred strikers went last Friday to the police station and demanded the release of the ringleaders who had been arrested the previous day. This demand was re- fused. The strikers re-assembled the fol- lowing day Saturday., attacked the Jail and attempted to release the prisoners. They fired at the soldiers who were guarding the prison. The latter in turn fired on the mob. Thirty of the rioters were killed and one soldier was wounded.

WILL FIGHT TOBACCO TRUST.
American and British Companies Will
 Form Smaller Combination.

Richmond, Va, March 2S.-Mr. E. K Jones, the Danville agent of the Univer- sity Tobacco Company, was in the city yesterday and held a conference with MT A. F. Thomas, one of the representatives of the Imperial Tobacco Company of Great Britain, which has established headquarters here. This strengthens the impression in tobacco circles that the two companies will work together against the American Tobacco Company on the lat ter's own soil, in the same manner that the American company has gone into England. While all information is denied at the office of the Imperial company it Is believed that the arrangements be- tween the two companies will consist at least in part of making the buyers of the Universal, the buyers for the Imperial also.
 Efforts failed to get from representa- tives of either the Imperial or the Uni versal admission of an agreed alliance, but there is no question that the two will cooperate in fighting the American com pany, and virtually pooling interests in buying. Tonight 1t is practically known that the Imperial will buy some 25O00,0O0 or 30OO0.0GO pounds of leaf on this and the Western markets.

Washington. March 23.-There is bare possibility that the fight over the ques- ton of Cuban reciprocity will be trans ferred to the floor of the House during the coming week. The probabilities, however, are that the reciprocity resolution intro- duced by MT. Payne, the floor leader of the majority, after the action of the Re publican caucus last week, will not be called up until the following week, though upon this point no definite decision has been reached as yet by the leaders.
 The present programme IS to take up the army bill after the disposal of the Moss Rhea contested election case on Tues day Several days will be consumed in general debate on this bill as the Demo- crats are inclined to use it as text for speeches in opposition to the policy of the administration in the Philippines. It is a. foregone conclusion that MT. Rhea will be unseated when the vote on his con- tested election case is taken up on Tues day.

SEARCHERS FIND
 DEAD BODY OF BOY
CHILD WITH HIS NECK BROKEN DISCOVERED WITHIN TEN FEET OF RICHARD ALBRIGHT, HIS DEAD COMPANION.

Brunswick, Ga, March 23.-The body of the boy who was last seen with Richard Albrecht, the New Brunswick, N. J., hotel man, drowned in a creek on the Seaboard Air Line near here yesterday was found today by searchers within ten feet of the spot where Albrechts body was discov- cred The body of the child was only partly submerged, as the water was only a few inches deep. The neck was broken. but there were no additional bruises. The body was brought to this city and em- balmed and awaits orders from New Brunswick.
 The child was apparently seven or eight years old and resembled AIbrecnt in feat ures and color of hair. He was well dressed and well nourished. It Is now be- lieved that both the man and the child, supposed to have been his son, had been dead several days.
 On March 14 the two were seen be- tween Thalman and Everett City going in the direction of Savannah. It was learned today that they left Thalman in the afternoon of that day, and 1t Is sup posed they reached the trestle where their bodies were found about dark. The the ory advanced is that the boy fell from the trestle into the water, and that All brecht, in attempting to save him, lost his own life. The bodies, however. were not beneath the trestle, but were some twenty-five feet away. A ticket was found in Albrecht's pocket today reading from Baltimore to Jacksonville. It is thought he came as far as Savannah and then de- cided to return to New Brunswick but by mistake purchased ticket to Bruns- wick, and did not discover his error till he reached Thalman. Persons who talked with him there say he appeared to be ner- vous and worried. No word has been re- ceived from his wife who resides in New Brunswick, though she was notified yes terday.

 Lawyer Aydlett for the defense Will en- ter an appeal on behalf of the prisoner. He will seek to set aside the verdict on the ground that it was not consistent with the evidence brought out at the trial There is little prospect Of the pris- oners payRg the death penalty on the date set bysJudge Jones' As the Supreme Court does not meet until next November it Is more than probable that 1t VIII be twelve months before the case is disposed of finally.

SPANISH STEAMER
 BREAKS ID PIECES Crew Rescued After HardStrug-
 gle by Cutter Algonquin SAILORS IN SAD PLIGHT
Tanks Were Either Dry of Filled With Salt Water, and Their Food Was Soaked so as to Make
 1t Unfit for Use.

New York March 23.-Captain W. Garry of the Spanish steamer "E. A" and his crew of twenty-seven men, were brought to this port today by the Old Dominion liner Princess Anne. His snip, with a broken back. lies on sand spit some nine miles south by east from Cape Look out Light. on the North Carolina coast.
 The "E A" left Fernandina, Fla, March 1S for Bilboa, Spain. with a car go of phosphate rock and rosin. Satur- day morning March 15, while feeling the way in a thick fog with two lookouts forward and the captain and both his of- ficers on the bridge, the ship grounded on the sandbank. Captain Garry gave the signal for full speed astern as soon as the ship grounded but could not start her. At 10 o'clock that night. when it was full tide, the captain tried again to back her off but failed.
 Southwest Gale Came Up.
 Sunday south-southwest gale came up and drove the vessel farther on the bar. It kicked up a heavy sea which broke over the ship with terrific force. and she began breaking up. By daylight the back bone was broken and she parted in the middle, the forward and after ends set ting in the water and leaving her amid ships high and dry with gaping crack between the two sections. The same day the Wilmington, N. C., towboat Alex ander came along and tried to go to the assistance of the craft, but could not get alongside. Shortly after the revenue cut ter Algonquin appeared on the scene, but she had to stand off because of the heavy seas running. Sunday night the tug and cutter both ran out to sea, but returned again Monday noon.
 By this time the crafts people were in bad plight. The tanks were flooded with salt water or run dry Their stores were all water soaked and they had nothing to eat. When the cutter and the tug reap pesred Captain Garry signalled for help asking them to send boat if they could not run alongside, or at least try to de- wise some means to get something to eat on board the wreck.
 Neither Vessel Could Do Anything.
 Neither vessel was able to do anything | for their relief as the sea was still break ing heavily over the sandspit The tug stood by the "E. A." all night while the cutter again put out to sea. Tuesday morning the Algonquin came back, but again put out to sea- Tuesday morning | the Algonquin came back, but neither she nor the tug could reach the wreck. The "E. A. s" lifeboats had all been carried away, but they had one small boat left Captain Garry ordered this launched, and 1t finally put off with fourteen men, who were taken aboard the Algonquin. The cutter then sent a life boat off to the stranded ship and took off the captain and the rest of the crew. They were taken to Wilmington, N. C., by the Algonquin and from there came to this city on the Old Dominion ship. All on board were saved except the captains dog Tiger" and cat belonging to one of the men.
