hastily from the scene, and attempted
to draw away Madame Cheron, who
was converSing with Signor Cavigni,
and neither perceived Valancourt, or
was willing to be interrupted. A
falntness suddenly came over Emily,
and, unable to support herself, she
sat down on q turf bank beneath the
trees. where several persons were
seated. One Of these observing the
extreme paleness Of her countenance,
enquired il she was ill, and begged
she would allow him TO fetch her a
glass OF water, Tor which politeneSs
she thanked him, but did not accept
il. Her apprehension lest Valancourt
should observe her emotion made her
anxious to overcome it, ahd she sue

still conver-iIg with Cavigni; and

TAIL WOULD ESCAPE
One Guard Is Probably Fatally Injured
and Another Hurt as Result
of Fight

New York, October Pa daring attempt

Curtin, prisoner who had gained the
confidence of the prison officias and had
been permitted unusual liberties about the
prison, is charged with being the leader
of the outbreak and with inficting the
injury on the prison guards.
AS Edward Cuskley, one of the regular
keepers, reached the third tier on one of
his half hour rounds Curtin sprang from
a dark corner and struck him over the
head with a wrench Cuskley fell to the
floor and Curtin ran t the cell of Albert
Laigrer, another prisoner, and attempted
to open the door. While he was strug-
Cling with the lock the keeper recovered
consciousness and attacked Curtin from
behind A fierce fight for possession OF
the wrench followed. The keeper called
and cheered Curtin on. Cuskley gradu-
ally was getting the upper hand when sud
denly Curtin drew back and whipping
out long knife drove it twice into the
keepers side and then pounded him on
the head with the wrench. By this time
John Ford, another keeper. had appeared
in response to Cuskley's cries and he
closed with Curtin. Ford was the victor,
but his arm was broken In the struggle.
Cuskleys condition Is critical.

The Trouble Arose Over the Charge
That Students Had Been Fed From
"Leavines" of Negro Barbecue
In Jackson, La.

Jackson, La, October 25.-Following the
exchange of heated words between Rev.
c. c. Miller. president of Centenary col
lege a Methodist institution. and w. f.
Moncrieff, professor of physics and prin-
cipal of the preparatory department, the
Rev Mr. Miller was stabbed six times,
one wound near the heart, by Moncrieff,
but attending physicians say his wounds
are not necessarily fatal
The difficulty arose over the serving
of meat alleged to be the 'leavings'
of negro barbecue, and said to have
been purchased by Moncrieff, who in ad-
dltion to his other duties. had charge of
the mess. The students presented a pro-
test to President Miller. His interview
with Professor Moncrleff on the subject
led to mix-up between the men, in
which the college president Is alleged
to have welded a chair with consid-
cradle effect.
Moncrieff was arrested and later released
on bond He came to Jackson from Rock
Hill, S. c.. where he also taught school.

Strikers Stand Together.

Chattanooga, October 25.-A special to
the Times from Knoxville says
Nearly 1000 strikers from the Southern
railway shops held meeting this morn
ing at the court house at which they
all decided to stand together a man.
The executive committee was increased
so as to give all departments of the
shops representation.
No new men arrived today and the
labor agent who brought in the first batch
of twenty men must face trial tomorrow
on three warrants, charging him with
having brought the workmen here from
Cincinnati under alleged misrepresentation.
Already local industries are beginning
to fear that their coal bins will be de-
pleted faster than they can be reflled.
The fact that the Louisville and Nash
vile road has no strike and can handle
any quantity of coal from the mines
along its road. does not help several of
the local plants. for in Knoxville neither
OF the roads will switch cars for the
other and the plants that happen to be
on the Southern are the ones that may
be inconvenienced.

TIME FOR SOME REVISION
Believes In Revenue Tariff That Would
Not Impair Single Legitimate
Profit-Enemy of CoIos-
sal Corporations.

Baltimore, October 25.-Before an au-
dienee which filled the Lyric tonight
United States Senator Isidor Rayner de-
livered what will prove perhaps the most
important speech of the democratic con-
gressional campaign in this state. Sena-
tor Rayner addressed himself chiefly to
the subject of the tariff, saying in part:
''I am not a revolutionist on the subject
of the tariff. / believe in a revenue tariff
that would not destroy or impair single
business interest in this country that was
making a legitimate profit out of its en-
terprise, but I am an inveterate enemy
of these colossal combinations that are
making their own prices for the American
consumers, and who no longer require the
protection of the government for their
support
The United States Steel Trust company
can go to Canada Mexico or any place
else, pay the freight, and undersell the
foreign markets, and here it declares it
cannot compete with the foreign market
and is given a prohibtive duty of 40 per
cent ad valorem to keep the foreign pro-
duct from our shores.

Southern is Rapidly Bringing in

BACON TO GET FAT PLACE
Assistant Secretary of State Is Slated
for Ambassador at Paris-Mo-
Cormck Is Ready to
Resign.

Washington, October %.--(Special9-
The Southern Railway company and the
machinists in its employ are preparing for
a fight to a finish. The men went on
strike for an increase of 21a cents per
hour in their pay about two weeks ago,
and since the refusal of the machinists to
accept the proposition of the railway Of
fcals to leave the settlement of the ques-
tions in dispute to a board of arbitration,
the railway company has been making the
preparations to put non-union men in the
shops deserted by the striking mechanics
All along the Southern system the Off
cials are putting up quarters, fitting them
up with cots and other furniture, and are
hiring cooks, and non-union men have
been run in at several points, and the
shops are said to be partially at work.
This system, it is stated, the railway
company will continue until the places left
open by the strikers are filled.
Depend On Sympathetic Strike.
The strikers are confident that the rail-
way company cannot secure enough nom
union boiermakers, blacksmths and other
union men will refuse to work with the
non-union men, and the strike may even
involve the engineers and other trainmen.
At several points, according to advices
received by representatives of the ma
chinlsts in this city, sympathtic strikes
have already been inaugurated, and this,
they say, will extend over the system.
The striking machinists on the Southern
have the support of the International as
sociation, and are receiving strike bene-
fits from it. The pay rolls are being made
up in this city and the 700 men out will
each receive a weekly sum, the married
men and those having families depending
on them for support getting 81 per week
and unmarried men abort So per week.
The machinists association is a large
orgsii4zaticn, and it is stated mas abund-
ance of funds at its disposition for a pro-
longed fight. President o Connell went
to New York on business for the associa-
tion, and while there it is believed he will
make an effort to see President Spencer of
the Southern and endeavor to reopen
negotiations looking to a settlement of
the strike. The striking machinists say
they are much encouraged as 1t is known
that both the Rock Island and the Canad-
ian Pacific railroads have within the past
day or two granted increases in pay to the
machinists employed by them and the
striking machinists on the Southern feel
that 1t will aid them to get that for which
they are making the fight.

Il 0nicago Union Traction company and
the Chicago City Railway company, to

ton, provided that the ordinance meets

additional sum after five years, IL the
board OF supervisors believes best. Pro-
vision Is made for the purchase of the
lines by the city and a reduction I'm

an equal sum from the amount to be
set aside as compensation FOR the use
of the streets. Underground trolleys with

ROOSEVELT MAY
TAKE JAPS' PART
REPRESENTATIONS WILL sPRo5A-
BLY, BE MADE TO CALIFORNIA
OFFICIALS ON SUBJECT OF DIS
TERMINATING IN SCHOOLS.

Washington, October 25.-viscount Aolxi.
the Japanese ambassador, at a confer
ence with Secretary Root at the state de-
partment today made the request in be-
half of his government that the United
States see that Japanese subjects In Call
fornia were accorded their full rights un-
der the treaty of 1894, including the right
of children to freely attend the public
schools of San Francisco. Secretary Root
will take the matter up with the Pres
dent. and 1t is likely that representations
will be made to the authorities of Cali
forna.
The ambassador said that the exclusion
of Japanese children from San Francisco
schools was the chief cause of the harsh
criticism of the United States. He was
inclined to discount the other causes
given for the sentiment against this coun-
try.
Viscount Aoki said that Mr.. Hanihara,
the secretary to the Japanese embassy,
who has just returned from an investiga-
ton in Alaska of the killing of num-
ber of Japanese seal fishers on the Priby-
loft Islands has not yet completed his re-
port. The ambassador said there was no
doubt that the Japanese had no right to
be fishing In Alaskan waters, but the
question to be determined is whether the
Americans We're warranted in inhicting
death punishment.
In the opinion of Viscount Aoki the kill
ing of the japanese by the American gov
eminent agents has played little part in
arouslng Japanese public sentiment
against the United States. In Japan it is
believed that justice will be done in this
case when the facts are fully sifted.

a prolonged conversation with him on
matters interesting to German Catholics.
The attempts to effect the Germaniza-

slight success. and Germany is said to
fear the spread to German Poland of the

a desire for the assistance of the Cath
