ROYAL BATTLE WITH A WHALE
The Sea Monster Was no Feet
Long and Fought His CaptOrs
For Twenty-Five Hours.

New York, Oct. 1S.-The whaling
steamer Humber has arrived here, says
ST. Johns IN. F) dispatch, for re-
pairs from damages received in royal
battle off Cape Spear, N. F., with a
monster whale, asserted by the crew to
have been 110 feet long. The fight last
ed 20 hours.
When the monster was harpooned it
started towing the vessel at the rate
of seven miles an hour, though the en-
gines were reversed full speed, which,
under ordinary conditions would mean
a retrograde movement of about eight
miles. This continued for hours, the
ship, as the whale flew off in zigzag
courses, being almost towned under the
water, the sea washing the decks. Sew
eral times the captain was on the
point of cutting the cable but the
windlass held and the whale finally
gave up the struggle.

Beirut, Syria, Wednesday, oct. IA
The apparent Indifference of the Euro

Mohammedan fanacticism here has
deeply impressed the Christians. The
Moslems, on the other hand, are elat-
ed, and scoff at the idea of European
Intervention. The attack on the Chris

arrival of the American warships at
Beirut. The then governor, Rechid Bey.
telegraphed the details to Constantine

of non-interference was approved at the

FIFTEEN LIVES
CRUSHED OUT
Collision On the Belvidere Division
of the Pennsylvania Road.
THE VICTIMS WERE LABORERS
Their Train, While Standing, Was
Crashed Into by n Gravel Train
Fifteen Killed and
Forty Injured.

Trenton, n. j Oct. 18.-Fifteen per-
sons were killed and about 40 wounded
in collision which occurred, Saturday
on the Belvidere division of the Penn
sylvania railroad, near Washington
crossing. The persons killed and in
jured were laborers, who were on q
work train and were on their way tc
work at Washington's crossing to re-
pair washouts along the road. Four
teen bodies have been taken from the
wreck, and one more body is known to
be under the debris. Only two or three
of those who were injured will be per-
manently MANNED
Special Relief Train Sent.
AS soon as the collision occurred, a
special train was sent from Trenton
with corps of physicians, and the dead
and injured were brought to this city.
The dead men, with one or two excep-
tions, are Italian laborers who resided
in this city, the others being colored
men. Their bodies were taken to the
morgue for identification.
The train bearing the men who were
killed and injured was made up of four
cars-twO coaches. in which the men
were riding, and two fat cars in the
rear. The train stopped near Wash
ington's crossing to receive orders re-
specting the passing of the regular pas
Senger train.
Rear-Ended by Gravel Train.
While the train was standing on the
track it was run into from the rear by
a gravel train. The two fiat cars tele-
scoped the two coaches. There were
ABOUT $50 men in the two cars. AS soon
as the accident happened the Italians
became frantic, and made an attempt
to do bodily harm TO the crew of the
gravel train. Word was sent to Tren-
ton for police assistance, but the men
were finally quieted by the foremen
The railroad authorities here are reti-
cent as to how the accident occurred
but it is believed that the gravel train
either failed to see any adverse signal
or that the f1agman of the first train
failed to go back a sufficient distance.

DOWIE DISPLAYS TEMPER.
Faces His First New York Audience
But Fails to Hold Them After
Curiosity is Satisfied.

New York, Oct. 19.-John Alexander
Dowie, who calls himself Elijah the
Restorer," faced his first New York
audience Sunday, and although Madi-
son Square garden was thronged at the
afternoon and evening meetings and
thousands were turned away from the
doors, he found himself confronted
with what he called a new experience.
when thousands, having evidently sat
isfied their curiosity, threw the meet
ings into confusion By their sudden
exodus before the ceremonies had more
than fairly begun. Commands to close
the doors and prevent exit were un-
availing, and the prophet gave vent to
displays of considerable petulance on
finding that it was one thing to gather
a great New York crowd, but quite an
other affair to command it's interest
after the first demands of curiosity had
been satisfied.

A PREMATURE STATEMENT
There Has Been No Announcement
Regarding Alaskan Award.
The Commissions Has Not Yet
Reached Decision and Has
Made No Announcements.

London, Oct. 17.-There is the high
est authority for saying that the an
nouncement made by the London Morn
ing Advertiser that the decision of the
Alaskan boundary commission virtual
ly comedies the American case is en-
tirely untrue. The commission, thus
far, has reached no decision, and no
vote has been taken, even in the pri-
vate sessions, which would indicate
Chief Justice Alvestone's position. 1t
is quite true that the general trend of
opinion among those connected with
the tribunal, aside from the commits
sioners, is that the ultimate decision
will be in favor of America, but there
is as yet not the slightest warrant for
saying it has been reached.
Confirming the statement that no de-
cision in the Alaskan boundary arbitra-
tion has been reached, the st. James
Gazette this afternoon adds:
There is, however, increasing pes
simism in Canadian circles"
The commission adjourned Friday,
until Saturday, without making any an
nOuncement-

Peake's Peculiar Case.

An attempt is to be made to Sc
cure the release Of Clarence Peake
by habeas corpus. Recently the Su-
preme Court, sitting at Knoxville,
affirmed his sentence of twenty
years for the murder at Clinton of
man supposed to be Silas Hulin,
who turned up alive and well and
was produced in court one year ago.
The court heard the cause entirely
on It's merits. Peake had certainly
killed some man without the slight
est provOcatiOn, and the judgment
was affirmed. Hulin was seen and
identified in Knoxville last week,
and attorneys for Peake intend to
bring habeas corpus proceedings to
secure his release. Judge Sneed, be-
fore whom the proceedings will be
brought, will not hear the case until
the encouragement of the Clinton
district can be present.

POSTAL JURY FAILS To AGREE
Charged With Alleged Conspiracy to
Extort Bribe in Postal Deals.
Two Dozen Indictments Against
Post Office officials.

Cincinnati, o., Oct. 19.-The jury in
the case of Daniel Voorhees, Miller and
Joseph M. Johns, on trial in the federal
court on the charge of alleged con-
spiracy to eXtOrt a bribe, reported
shortly before Saturday midnight that
it was unable to agree and was dis
charged by Judge Thompson. The trial
attracted unusual attention, as it was
the first one under the many recent
indictments for alleged frauds in the
post office department. The defend
ants were Daniel Voorhees, Miller, of
Terre Haute, Ind, formerly assistant
Encouragement for the post office de-
partment, and his friend, Joseph NJ.
Johns, an attorney at Rockville, Ind,
accused of conspiring to obtain bribe
from John ]. Ryan and J. ]. Ryan &
Co., turf commissioners, of st. Louis.
Four days were devoted to the taking
of evidence and the fifth day to the
very vigorous arguments of District
Attorney Sherman Mcpherson and AS
sistant Thomas H. Darby, for the gov
ernment. and Hiram D. RuliSon and
Charles w. Baker, for the defendants.
At 11:35 p. m. the jury came in, and,
in writing, reported as follows:
1--WE find that we are unable to agree
upon a matter of fact"
Judge Thompson then questioned the
jury as to the probability of reaching
an agreement, and on being advised
that there was no such probability
without additional instructions, he dis
charged the jury from further consid-
Grafton of the case.
While there were unconf1rmed re-
ports that the jury stood seven to five
for conviction, it was generally un-
derstood in the court room that the
jury was unable to agree on the matter
of fact as to whether Miller had any
connection with the dealings between
Ryan and Johns, or as to whether
there was any conspiracy between the
defendants.
The court told the jury that there
could be no verdict, finding one of the
defendants guilty and the other inno-
cent, that both must be convicted or
both acquitted.
