NEW ALLIANCE IN EUROPE.


IT HERE has been regroupng Of the allies OF
= Europe. The unsettled condition OF Rus
sa and It's loss Of prestige as a great power, has
made it an undesirable ally and friend for France,
Against the triple alliance of Austria, Germany
and Italy, Russia and France would have little
show.
Trancc has looked for other friends and has
found them. 1t has weaned away Italy from the
triple alliance II is announced that a conven-
ton has been entered into between England,
France and Italy This will leave Austria and
Germany stafdng alone unless they should take
into their arms the dscredited Russia. The new
convention will 60 into effect when the present
triple alliance shall have expired. England will
be an important factor IN it.
The alliance was brought ABOUT by the grow
ing fear of the power of Germany The empire
of the Kaiser Is the militant of continental Eu
rope England has long been fearful Of the
strength and aggressiveness Of the German
pire. Germaiiy has progressed in every way,
while France has stood still and is troubled with
internal dissensons because Of the scandalous
treatment OF the Catholics of the country
Frapce has to seek stronger support The new
alliance is designed to keep the peace of Europe
1t looks II there wouiG be no serious disturb
with srch formidable nations arrayed against
each other. Besides a modern war would be so
costly and destructive of life AMI property that
few nations would enter into one without very
serious thought and great provocation.

be what they may. And so rabid and seditious
has become that paper that edtorially it advo-
Gates The Clansnlan' ignoring the order OF the
police authorities and defy their efforts to pre-
serve peace and order. 1t is also fact that Dem
ocratic speakers are howilng for the mob-raisng
production to be given before the election.
In view of these facts, can any other conclusion
be reached than that the Democrats are trying
to bring The Clansman" here for political pur-
poses? We say such attempts to make political
capital are despcable The men and the news
paper who are in any way connected with it are
the enemies Of law and order, and should they
accomplish their purpose it might result in one
of the most violent outbreaks that ever, occurred
in our city. It might result in bloodshed.. It.
might result in fire and destruction of life and
property. But say these Democratic politicians
and Every Evening, what does all that matter if
Il will make few Democratic votes and help
carry the State for the Democrats? Shame on

THE cLANsMAN. AFFA1R.

EHEERFULLY we accord space in our paper
~ to-day to a communication from our friend,
Joseph /. Gamer, local manager of the Opera
House, apropos Of THE Clansman matter First,
we desire to say that in the editorial referred to
we did not make any reference either to him, his
employers or the Grand Opera House. We never
thought they had anything to do with this af-
fair from political point ef view. They would
not dare do such a thing and we did not so charge
them. We are we'll aware that Mr. Gamer has
nothing whatever to do with bringing shows 10
the Opera House. The bookings are not Slade
by him, but IN Philadelphia and New York The
integrity OF Mr.. Gamer or Nixon and thinner
man has not been questioned by us in the mat
ter. We insist, however that certain Demo
crat had or tried to have something to do with
The Clansnan" coming to Wilmington at this
time II is also fact that for this affair the reg
ular attorney OF the Opera House, who is a Re
publican, was dropped, and two other attorneys,
both active Democrats, recognized party leaders
we're engaged to enforce the production OF sThe
Clansman" at this time. 1t is also fact that the
Democratic member of the Police Commission
as sided with his party leaders in favoring the
Tiotous play being given here on the eve Of the
election. II is also fact that the Every Evening

Democratic ticket, is eIamoring for the dangerous

Regulating Railroad Speed.

Editor The Evening journal.
Much has been. said in the press
about the Population by the government
OF railroad rates and other minor par
tculars. but as yet I have seen no no.
tice where any OF our leading states
men. or thpse less prominent have
come forwArd with a bill or a sugges-
tion that the government take a hand
IN the matter OF regulating the speed
at which the railroads shall run their
trains. In view OF the many accidents
that have occurred and are occurring
almost daily u seems TO me that some-
thing OF the sort should be done. The
craze for great speed which seems TO
have taken hold OF the people OF this
country makes II necessary. The rail-
roads OF America vie with those OF Eu-
rope and among themselves on our own
shores TO see which can get a train
over the greatest distance IN the short
est time. All the big wrecks are di-
recuy due to the short schedule on
which the railroads compel their trains
Ito run "A law forbiddlng any COM
phny 70 run its trains over the road az
anything above forty or fifty miles an
hnur would undoubtedly be a saving 10
| life ana property. In cases OF the
gteatest urgency this rule could be bro-
Ken and special permission to operate
trains on faster schedule given. but
ar a regular train schedule no train
should be allowed to exceed speed OF
6fty miles an hour The railroads have
admitted that the trains frequently get
beyond the control OF the engineers
when the locomotives are iet.out as far
a. the throttle can go and this In itself
should be a strong argument for the
law above sukkested. zrs

'LAGAN TRAIN ROBBERY
Case NOW UNDER WAY
Jury Has Been Secured and the Ex.
animation Of Witnesses Began This
Morning.--Third Time Of Trial.

A fair start was made In the ROCK
Island train robbery case this morn
ing. Before the court adjourned last
evening eight members of the jury
had been accepted. This had exhaust
ed the venire and the United states
marshal was instructed TO bring In
eight more likely jurymen. Among
the well known citizens excused from
duty were ]. 4, Moore. s 7. Klein and
A. c. Erb.
The jury was sworn about 1O:3
after which District Attorney Level
lyn outlined what he expected his wit,
nesses to prove. Assistant Attorney
Medler appeared this morning and
Joined Messrs Llewellyn and Leahy In
the case. Long C Ward and George
II. Hunker represent the defense.
q. H. Walker was the first witness
called for the prosecution. He out
lined the facts of the robbery at Lo'
gan, n. NJ. on the evening of July 80
1894. Three men wearing white masks
over their faces entered the cab and
compelled him to run some distance
further aud detach the engine. The
witness described with particularly
how the robbers went through the 10.
cal safe and found nothing and then
attacked the through safe.> They were
attempting to blow up the safe when
time was called for dinner.
The faces of five or six new wit
nesses for the prosecution were seen
in the court room this morning. The
United States Is believed to have a
stronger case than 1t had last year
The defense Is believed to be depend
ing upon proving an alibi for the pris-
oners.
1t will be remembered that the case
has twice been tried In this county,
both times hung jury resulting. Last
term the United States asked for a
postponement, which was granted and
the prisoners were taken to Santa Fe
for safe keeping.
The theory of the prosecution II
that Jim Black and John Murphy and
one Tom Boswell, who was later shot
in attempting to break Jail, robbed
the train and that John Black con
spircd with them to do so.
