Der across the slip, and before the
firemen arrived the entire ore dock
half a mile long, was in flames. An
engine was run on the tramway as
near to the fire as possible, and half

the timbers connecting the tramway
and dock to keep it from falling with
the dock. Suddenly the dock gave
way, falling with a crash and carry
ing with it 200 feet Of the tramway

BIG STRIKE IS ON N HAVANA
TWO STRIKERS ARE DEAD AND 80
PERSONS WOUNDED.
All the Trades in Sympathy With the
Clgarmakers Went on a Sympa-
thetic Strike and Everything at a
StandstiIl-Mayor With the Strik-
ers-President Palma Takes a Hand

Havana, Nov. 26.--As the result of
conflicts of a serious nature between
the police and men on strike here two
| strikers are dead and 32 other persons
are wounded. Five OF the wounded,
one lieutenant of police whose throat
was cut by a striker, have very serious
injuries. Eight other policemen are
wounded. The police got the rioters
well under control. but every precau.
tion is being taken to prevent a further
outbreak of disorder. and all the police
and rural guards in the suburbs have
been summoned to concentrate in Ha-
vana.
The strike, which at first concerned
only the cigarworkers. became general
by the calling out Of all trades In sym
pathy with the cigarmakers. All the
tradespeople closed their doors, clerks.
cooks and every class Of workmen hav-
ing obeyed the command OF the union
except the motormen and conductors
Of the electric cars, who refused to
join in the general strike.
Trouble began early by the holding
up of the electric cars by the strikers,
whOse wrath naturally was directed
against the street railway employees.
Several cars were held up and stoned
in the outskirts Of the city and the
passengers were compelled to walk In
to Havana. among these being the
British and Germans. Several cars
were wrecked and several motormen
and conductors were injured during
the riot
The carmen continued running their
cars until II o'clock a. m, when Super
intendent Greenwood ordered a sus-
pension Of traffic. The employees were
willing to remain at work, but the Off
GERS of the company, In order to pro-
tect their property. deemed 1t wise to
suspend the service. Mr.. Greenwood
had asked the protection of the civil
government but the authorities were
unable to protect the public vehicles.
A mob Of strikers drove the men on
the Western railroad from the trains
during the morning.
The mayor of Havana had during
the past week openly sympathized with
the strikers and had given orders to
the police not to use force in dispers-
ing the crowds. and under these condi-
tions the police were unable to cope
with the strikers.
The situation was approaching a
critical point at noon, serious disor-
ders having taken place In front Of the

that the czarina's mind is affected are

Democratic party the prospects of
the success of that organization in
1904 were not bright. Since that
article was written conditions have
materially changed Form er
President Cleveland has taken the
hastings for the Democracy and is
putting in some telling blows for
the Democratic candidates. If he
had done this in 1900 Bryan would
have been elected. We are glad
to note that the former president
is doing what We suggested in a
previous article-making his
whole fight on the Republican
trust-breeding tariff. Once in
power Democrats will carry out
all their measures including the
dumping of the Philippines.
Mr. Bryan is reported as favor
ing the candidacy of Richard Oh
ney, who was a member of Cleve-
lands cabinet, and Mr.. Cleveland,
it is pretty certain, will also do
his best for that gentleman. AS
things now stand the Democratic
outlook is bright with Mr.. Olney

NEW RAILROADS.

The Atlanta Constitution of
few days ago stated that it is
thought that the L. & n. railroad
has united with the Seaboard Air
Line to secure a right of way into
Atlanta. The Seaboard is now
buying property in Atlanta with
this end in view.
There is every indication that
the report is true and it probably
means that Marietta will have
three independent railway lines to
Atlanta. The Seaboard and the
L. and N. could very we'll
have parallel tracks from Atlanta
to Marietta, the two diverging a
little below Buffers marble yard,
the Seaboard crossing the w. and
A. and the L. and N. passing near
the Yale property through General
Phillips property following the
water course flowing from his
pond; and without doing much
damage to the property, passing
through the town by the side of
this intercourse to the A. j. Hal
rison place which is the original
and better route for this road as
it saves two and a half miles, be-
sides giving easy grades between
Marietta and Canton. BY adopt
ing this plan the Seaboard and the
l.. and n. would each secure line
which would be one-half of what
it would be if each should build a
separate line. AS stated in pre-
vious communication the Seaboard
after traversing the Glover tan
yard property emerging therefrom
at the city cemetery, could pass
on to Lost Mountain by the Doc
tor Motley property; or parallel
ing the w. and A. to the cemetery
crossing, follow the water-course
flowing from that point consider.
