CLEARED FOR ACTION.
BREACH OF AGREEMENT IS CHAReED

FIcERS TO TESTIFY.

London, Nov. 2.-London has been
bewildered all day long by alarming
reports indicating a renewal of the
Anglo-Russian crisis and showing that
/. the utmost activity Is prevailing al
Gibraltar
The first news received announcing
the sailing of the Russian squadron
from Vigo, leaving only four subor-
dinate officers to give evidence at st.
Petersburg and then testify before the
International commission, is consid.
cred here to be breach of the agree
ment and the interchange of visits be-
tween Ambassador Benckendorff and
Lord Lansdowne followed, the foreign
secretary subsequently seeing various
members Of the cabinet.
Count Benckendorff at l p. m. went
to buckingham palace and spent near
Iy half an hour with the king. Later
in the afternoon the ambassador again
visited Lord Lansdowne, who also re-
ceived Lord Selborne, first lord of the
admiralty; Premier Balfour, Captain
Prince Louis of Battenberg. the di-
rector OF naval intelligence, and Ad-
miral Sir John Fisher, senior lord OF
the admiralty. All this renewal of
activity created apprehension in the
public mind and late in the afternoon
the Press association issued the fol-
lowing:
Dangerously Near Acute Stage.
"The Press association has reason to
believe that the action of the Russian
admiral has again brought the Anglo
Russian crisis dangerously close to an
acute stage. Count Benckendorff ar
rived iate IN the afternoon to see Lord
Lansdowne. Mr.. Balfour. who had al
ready seen the first lord of the ad.
miralty earlier in the day, has lust
received a visit from Lord Selborne
who was accompanied by Admiral Sir
John Fisher"

Aldershot camp says orders have been
issued for strong drafts of all branches
OF the royal engineers to be in readi.
ness to leave for Gibraltar at short
notice.
Ambassador Benckendorff said to
the Associated Press late in the even
Ing that there was absolutely no rea-
son so far as he knew for the excite
ment over the situation. There were
no developments to warrant the un-
easiness.
The admiralty refuses to discuss the
reports OF activity at Gibraltar, but it
is intimated that the movements are
part of prearranged plan rather than
the result OF orders following the an
nouncement of the departure of the
Russian squadron from Vigo
In the meanwhile the London news
papers are absolutely without any

the excitement and the widest rumors

Minneapolis, Nov. 2.-While string
ing new trolley wires on the street
railway line Jack Connor, a lineman,
touched a live wire when he was sit
ting on one of the iron arms used TO
support the wires from the trolley
poles. Spectators who witnessed the
accident aver that his whole body
blazed up like a torch. He was thrown
high in the air and came down head
foremost to the pavement below, his
body striking the street with thud.
Connor was picked up unconscious
and removed to the city hospital, where
bis death occurred at $50 o'clock. His
skull had been fractured and he was
terribly burned by the electric cur
rent which shot through his body.

Washington, Nov. 2. Secretary
Hays note to the powers inviting

Monument to Commodore Barry.

AS announced in The Star yesterday, the
Senate passed Senate bill 1547 for the erec-
ton of monument to the memory of Com
modore John Barry. The bill provides that
there be erected in this city statue of
Commodore Barry, and for the purpose of
obtaining suitable pedestal and for the
preparation of a site $4,000 is to be ex-
pended under the direction of commits
sion to be composed of the Secretaries of
War and the Navy and the cbairmen of the
committees on the library OF the Senate
and the House of Representatives. This
commission is authorized to select site
for the statue on grounds belonging to the
government, but not in the grounds of the
Library of Congress or the Capitol.
John Barry was born In ireland about
1745. He left his home at an early age for
Philadelphia, and In 1875 was placed in
command of the Lexington, which had just
been fitted out by the Continental Congress.
He did great service I'm the revolutionary
war. His prizes for one voyage alone sold
In the French ports for $2,310,000 and help
ed to cause the British merchants to petit
ton for peace. He has been called by some
the father of the American navy, but
this title is disputed In behalf of John Paul
Jones.

POLICEMEN DISCOVER FIRE.
Arouse Occupants Of House, Who
Knew Nothing of Danger.

Sergeant Conlon and Policeman Leech of
the fourth precinct prevented what might
have been serious fire and the possible
loss of life this morning about 2:20 o'clock.
They were walking along 9th street south
west near the corner of street when they
saw sparks coming from the house of j.
B. Gheen. Satisfied that there was fire
in the house one of the officers made noise
CROUCH at the front door to arouse sleeping
members of the family. An occupant OF the
house who appeared at an upper window
quickly informed the officer that there was
no trouble in the house so far as fire was
concerned as there had been no fire left
there last night. The window was closed
and the member of the family who an
swered the polieeman's call apparently re-
turned to bed.
Nobody moved about the house to indi-
cate that the police warning had made an
impression. A more careful Investigate On
convinced the officers that they had not
been mistaken. and second warning was
given. Members of the family were still
under the impression that the police were
mistaken. and second time the window
was closed to keep out the cold air. Short
ly afterward somebody appeared at the
door and cried fire" There was a fire in
the dining room, and the frame structure
seemed in danger of being destroyed. The
police feared that the high wind would
spread the flames to the other frame struo-
ture in the neighborhood, and for that rea-
son they remained about Mr.. Gheen's prem
ises until they were certain of the condi-
tion of affairs in the house. When the out
cry was made an alarm was turned in and
No. engine company responded. The fire
was extinguished in short time and before
more than $40 damage had been done. The
origin OF the tire is not known.

CONDITIONS IN JAPAN.
Declared to Be as Orderly as in Time
of Peace

A cablegram has been received by the
Japanese minister from Tokyo to the eft
feet that the mayors of the principal cities
of Japan have been receiving for some
time past letters from all parts of the
world inquiring as to the condition of af-
fairs in Japan. These letters usually come
from prospective travellers who desire to
know whether not it is safe to visit the
country In response the mayors have is
sued the following statement:
I'm answer to inquiries too numerous to
be individually responded to, and In the
hope of correcting erroneous impressions
that may possibly exist abroad, we, the
mayors of the principal cities of Japan,
beg to give assurance that normal condi-
tons prevail throughout the empire. Japan
in war is as orderly as Japan In peace.
Business men and travellers who contem-
plate journeying to Japan will encounter
no inconvenience and will be exposed to no
danger. The ordinary means of communi-
cation by land and sea are not and will
not be interrupted. Japan and Its terri
torial waters are not within the zone OF
hostilities, and the position and the ad-
vantages of our fleets and armies insure
the empire against invasion

Miss Stella Lipman's Piano Recital.

Music lovers were certainly favored with
a genuine musical treat at the Washington
Club yesterday afternoon by Miss Stella
Lipman. 1t was her first public appear
anco in Washington, and the city may well
feel proud of having a musician so prof.
cient in the art.
The program contained eleven numbers
and was a very exacting one, calculated
not only to test her technical skill, but
her versatility. She was fully equal to it's
demands and rendered every number with
a nearly perfect musicianly conception
Miss Lipman is well endowed with tempera-
ment and refinement. A feature of her
work was the fact that she played the en-
tire program from memory, which is GER
tainly remarkable from it's varied charac-
ter. 1t included Variations, F minor, No
90 Haydn: Bagatelle, OPP. 1876. Beethoven;
Polonaise, E fiat, op. 81, Weber; Arabesque,
op. 10, Schumann; three preludeS, op 2S
Chopin; Introduction and Rondo, op. IS.
Chopin; Transcription from the opera Pre-
ciosa Weber-Liszt; Valse Impromptu,
List; Gondoliera, op. Al, Moszkowski; In
termezzo from Suite, op. 81, No. 4, Sgam-
bait; Rhapsodie d'Auvergne, OPP. 10, Saint
Saens.
Miss Lipman plays with great delicacy
and grace. III thorough conception of
the masters was 'hown equally as well in
the brilliant valse impromptu of List as in
the Haydn variation and the Saint-Saens
'.Rhapsodie d'Auvergne," the latter being
the closing number. She was the recipient
of frequent hearty encores and many floral
tributes.

METROPOLITAN BAPTISTS.
Temporary Restraining Order Dis
charged bv Justice Gould.

After a hearing today Justice Gould, in
Equity Court No 2, discharged the tempo
rary restraining order issued last Monday
against Anderson Hogan, trustee, and
others of the Metropolitan Baptist Church.
at the instance of James Chapman, fol-
lower of Simon p. W. Drew, who desires to
be elected pastor of the church. Chapman
contended that Hogan and his faction pro-
posed to eXpel, at a meeting announced for
last Monday evening, Chapman and about
135 other members of the church and fol-
lowers of Drew, and thereby control the
election of a pastor, the first meeting In
connection with which, by order of the
court, will be held next Friday evening.
In their answer presented today Hogan
and the others affected by the restraining
order explained under oath that they had
no intention of expelling the parties men
toned In view of this assertion Justice
Gould held that 1t was the duty OF the
court to discharge the restraining order.
The ruling seemed to be satisfactory to
both factions. 1t was plainly intimated,
however, that if the board of deacons again
notify Chapman or the others mentioned to
answer charges prior to the election of
pastor, application will be- made to the
court for another restraining order.
Justice Gould today signed an order APP
pointing Rev Samuel III. Greene, Rev. John
Compton Ball and Rev. James III. Lee, the
latter colored minister, committee to SUI
pervse the election of a pastor of the
Metropolitan Baptist Church
1t has been arranged that Attorney Camp
bell Darlington, representing the Drew fac
ton, accompanied by one member of the
church, shall inspect the church books to-
morrow morning at the office of Attorney
]. II. Ralston. The charge was made in
open court that the Hogan faction which
has the custody of the books, has erased
therefrom the names of between 300 and 400
members, with the view of controlling the
election.
Attorney Campbell Darlington represented
Chapman and his associates at the hearing
today, while Attorneys j. H. Ralston and
Thomas L. Jones appeared for the Hogan
faction.

THE PHILIPPINE EXHIBIT.
Statement by the Bureau of Insular
Affairs.

With reference to recent allegations that
the War Department was investigating
DR.. w. +. Wilson, chairman Of the Philip
pine exhibit board, and as to the cost of
the Philippine participation at the world S
fair, the bureau of insular affairs has made
the following statement:
1t was originally assumed that the cost
of collecting exhibits, assembling in Ma
Mia and shipment to the United States
would be SO great that it would require an
appropriation of 100000 from Philippine
revenues. An agreement was made with
the exposition company that when such
amount was appropriated by the Philip
pine commission the exposition company
would allot 100000 from their funds to
prepare the grounds and buildings for the
reception of these exhibits coming from
Manila. 1t was hoped that the latter
amount would be adequate for this pur-
pose. However, owing to unanticipated
prices and demands of labor, as well as the
cost of material and the severe winter in
St Louis, which has retarded the work,
this cost will be exceeded in the amount of
100000. During the first part of this
month the Philippine commission appro-
priated this additional amount.
Colonel Edwards visit to ST. Louis
merely followed out the policy of the War
Department to make an inspection Of the
what was necessary to do and make re-
port to the Secretary of War. His visit
was requested by Dr. Wilson. Col Ed
wards report to the Secretary of War says
that he was agreeably surprised with the
work accomplished by DR.. Wilson, who has
been indefatigable In accomplishing unu-
sua1 results under trying conditions Most
of the disbursements have been made In
Manila by other members of the board
The cost of freight and passengers. 1T goes
without saying, amounts to much from
Manila to ST. Louis.
THE bureau of insular affairs is quite
satisfied with the conduct of affairs and
the outlook for the comprehensive exhibit
desired by the Philippine Islands and the
Tinted States"
