Long Trip.

New York, May S.-Around the
world to sign his name is the trip on
which Frank A. Brangan, treasurer of
the Philippine Islands, is embarked. All
possible has been exercised to get upon
the market the railroad bonds of the
Philippine Railway Company. Owing
to the fact that the Philippine commiss-
ion guarantees a certain interest on the
par value of the bonds, it was necessary
for the proper official of the insular gov
eminent to sign them. 1t would take
two or three months to send the bonds
from Washington to Branagan, 10 Ma
Mia, for his signature and back again,
80 the request was made of the commiss-
ion by the railway to send Branagan
to the bonds. Coming via San Francis
co, Brsnagan will complete the circuit
Of the globe by returning via the Suez
canal,

Bloody Battle ON Steamship.

San Diego, CAL, May Son the re-
quest of Allen Hutchinson, British Vice
Consul, orders have been received from
Washington to assign as many soldiers
from Fort Rosecrans as may be neces-
sary to quell mutiny aboard the Brit
sh steamer Maori King, Cow in quarsn-
tine. Eight persons were killed and
fully one hundred wounded during a
fight which occurred between Chinese
and Russian passengers, 1t is said, during
the voyage from VladivostOk.
According to Captain Duncan, race
war broke out shortly after the vessel
sailed. Even during a terrible storm
the fighting was kept up. Chinese mem
bers of the crew became involved and
the officers bad their hands full in nav
igating the ship. Two Russians and six
Chinese persisted during the fighting
1t has been impossible to learn just how
many of the Chinese we're wounded, as
they refused to allow the surgeon to
treat them, but over 200 are known to
have been hurt.
Captain Duncan said the steamer car
ried 92l Chinese, All Russians, and Sc
Chinese among the crew. A contractor,
Lee Sun Sal, lured the Chinese on from
the vicinity of Hsrbin, promising to
land them in San Francisco. Two days
cut he told them they were going to
Guaysmas, Mexico. Then pandemonium
broke loose.
Two sailors who escaped from the ship
say the mutiny was started and prolODg-
ed by the officers shooting down % Chi
nese and throwing their bodies overheard.
This the officers deny. They declare
many Of the Chinese died of disease, Ow-
ing to the filth in which they lived, aud
had to be thrown overheard.
Vice-Consul Hutchinson has started
vigorous inquiry. He has asked that a
guard of American soldiers be sent with
the steamer to Gusyamss, as the Chinese
cannot be landed this side of Mexico.

DEMoCRaTs WYNN BALTIMORE.

The democrats won 3 complete victory
in the municipal election in Baltimore
yesterday. j. Barry Mahool, the demo-
cratic candidate for mayor, and his run
ming mates were elected by a majority
OF about 5, 900 over f. Clay Timauus.
the republican candidate. The total
vote east for mayor Was 90, S45 out Of
a registered vote of ia, 900. Or these
Mahool polled 4S, 2S4 and Timsnus 49,
500, msking Mahoops majority 1858.
The democrats also get seventeen out OF
twenty. -four members of the first branch
of the City Council and three out oil the
four members of the second branch who
we're elected this year.
Numsen, democratic candidate for
president of the first branch OF the City
Council, and Hooper, democratic csndi-
date for comptroller, will have msjorities
averaging 5000, but Numsen ran some
what ahead OF Mahool and Hooper fell
a little behind. The two loans OF q
million dollars each were carried by
large majorities.
The weather was gloomy and the vote
not as heavy as 1t would otherwise have
been. Returns indicate that the breach
in the republican ranks WIS by no means
healed. Friends of former Congressman
Wschter, who was defeated by Timanus
in the primaries, cut the ticket despite
the efforts of Wachter to hold them in
line. Ia the strong Wachter wards there
was large falling of in the republican
vote.
The republicans were in trouble early
in the day when the negroes held back
and refu sed TO vote unless they we're paid.
The democrats, taking advantage OF this,
promised each one two dollars to remain
away.
10 some Of the wards the negroes were
dealt with in punches, Heretofore The
republicans have met the democratic
offer and bought the darkies who agreed
to vote their party ticket at reduced
price. This time, however, republican
leaders decided to let the negro vote go
as it pleased. They say that this class
has always been most expensive and
might as well be given lesson.
In addition to this loss was that sus-
tanned from the refusal of Wachter people
to support the ticket. While the great
majority was loyal, about twenty per
cent. cut the head of the ticket.
On the other hand, number of inde-
pendent democrats voted for Timanus.

The President today approved the
recommendation of Attorney Genera
Bouaparte made at IL clock this morn
ing that William January, alias Will
liam Anderson, the American Vatican
of Kansas City, be pardOned from the
Leayenworth penitentiary to take effect
on July 10. The attorney general, in his
recommendation says: ~ think the petit
toner ought to serve some appreciable
time in prison, to show clearly that, as 8
matter of strict right, he still belongs
there, but | also think this period may
be appropriately made short one." For
eight days William January, the Mis-.
souri, "Jean Vatican" has been living
within the grim walls of Fort Leaven-
worth prison, momentarily expecting the
pardon promised him by President Roose-
welt. A week ago Tuesday the Presi-
dent referred the case to the Department
of Justice for recommendation. The
papers were all complete. and ready for
the perusal Of the Attorney General LIST

strike in New York.

5NtAhC III ktCN
New York, May 8.-Wlth the ii 900
striking longshoremen still holding out
and no prospects of a settlement 10
sight, the situation along the water
front became more serious today. Even
the largest companies are now seriously
hampered, and freight is accommodating
at rate which promises to cause de-
lays and inconvenience for weeks after
the strike is finally settled. What
little work about the docks is be-
ing dene can only be- carried on under
police guard. One clash between strike
breakers was reported in Williamsburg
this morning. Strike breakers employ
ed by the Hayemeyer Sugar Refining
Works were attacked. 1t was necessary
for the police to use their clubs freely
before the riot was ended. Mascara
Ciebanni, one of the strike breakers,
was hit on the head and his skull re-
ported to have been fractured.
Llttle progress is being made in
moving the mountains OF freight by the
strike breakers 80 far employed. For
the most part they are negroes aud ig-
norant foreigners who have accomplish
ed little. Already thousands of dollars
of loss are said to have been caused
through the spelling of perisable goods
left exposed on the docks.
Practically every line has been de-
layed by the strike. The big Kaiser
Wilhelm II could not dock last night
because there was no room at her pier.
The Cevic is another liner held up in
the bay until the Gsorgic, of the same
line can clear.
BY settling with their employees the
Mallory, Southern Pacific and Quebec
lines have been able to resume work,
but steamers are still being delayed ow-
ing to the accumulations of freight.
A report today said James Farley,
professional strike breaker, has been
employed to break the strike and will
soon have 5000 men at work on the va
ious docks.
Another serious riot occurred at Coen-
ties slip. A barge loaded with 800
Italian strike breakers who we're being
taken to the Bush Terminal Warehouse
Company in Brooklyn, was discovered
near the slip by strikers. Instantly
there was q rush to the adjoining pier
and stones, bricks and every kind of
missiles were hurled on the Italians.
The Italians, helpless, could not dodge
the missiles until the barge put on steam
and drew out of range.
Police Commissioner Bingham said
today the strike is becoming so serious
it may be necessary to call off the po-
licemens' annual parade set for Saturday.
II there is any danger of rioting, he de-
clared, he woulI call off the parade and
keep the men on duty.

The Irish RilI

London, May S-There are indications
today that all hut the rsbid radicals will
support the Irish council bill introduced
by Irish Secretary Brrell yesterday.
Now that the provisions of the bill are
known not to contain anything OBJ
jectionable to any party, although it
comes far from satisfying any one, homo
rulers say the measure is timid, while
the uniOnists are suspicious that it gives
predominsnce TO Catholicism, but these
are minor objections. T. w. Russell, a
uniouists, but a leader of the Ulster
land movement, said today; cit is a
very moderate bill and in no way gives
home rule" This seems to voice the
sentiment of uniOnists general.

INTEREST il the session in Washing
ton Yesterday of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of Tuber-
culosis centered in the sociological sec
ton. in which were discussed questions
affecting tuberculosis in schools and fac
tories. The sentiment, as expressed by
the delegates, educators and representa-
tiyes of the workingmen, was unanimous
that crowded rooms, bad air and poor
light were the prime causes of the spread
of the disease, and that radical steps
should be taken to overcome this condi-
ton of affairs. While it was admitted
that occasional "open" causes exist, the
lack of proper hygenic conditions in the
schoolroom and workshop was credited
with being responsible for the develop
ment of the disease. 1t was contended
THAI only in the most modern buildings
could the air and light be said to be ap-
proximately satisfactory. Consumption
is spreading with such alarming strides
that heroic measures will soon have to
he taken to control this dread disease
which physicians hold. can, with proper
treatment, be both cured and prevented.

The democrats of Baltimore have come
to their own again, and in the election,
lid yesterday, chose their candidates
TO mayor and other city offices, TO-
gether with majority of members Of
both branches of the city council, by
big msjorities. Baltimore being a south
ern city is, and by right ought to be, a
democratic city. The democratic
party hss for years been, and is now,
vastly in the majority in Baltimore, anG
only when they quarrel among them
selves do they lose. 1t is hoped that
all factionsl differences will be settled
now, and that republican rule in Bslti-
more will be thing Of the past. The
democratic State leaders consider Ma
hoOps victory yesterday an encouraging
sign for the State election in November,
when, in addition to governor and State
controller, a legislature will be chosen
that will elect a successor to the late
Senator German.

LOudoun VS.. Fauauier.

The political situation in the counties
of Loudoun and Fauquier is complicatine
the canvass of candidates in the Eighth
congressional district. These tw o coun.
ties form one State senatorial district,
and also from legislative district,
giving the two counties an additional
representative in the Virginia House o.
Delegates called q "hOater." For q
good many years, by agreement, Lou
doun has named the Senator and Eau
quier the Aoater. Two years ago there
was demand from Fauquier for the
senatorship, but the democratic execu-
tive committees of the two counties
agreed, it is alleged, that if Loudoun
we've permitted to name the Senator once
more, she would then concede Fsuquier' S
right to name the next Senator, Loudoun
TO have the hOater.
Fsnquier claims the right this year to
nominate the Senator, and Senator
Lynn, of L6udoun, asks for reelection.
T. G. Pitcher end George Latham Flet-
cher, a well-known attorney of Warren
ton, have announced their candidacy,
and are putting up a strong fight, willie
the friends of Senator Lynn insist that
he is entitled to reelection.
Until recently, Judge Nicol, r. L..
Gordon, G. G. Carlin and John f.
Ryan each claimed a good following
in Fanquier in the fight for the Con-
gressionsl nomination. But siuce Lou
doup, which is Mr.. Ryan's home cOun-
ty, does not seem disposed to sccsde to
Fauguier's demand to name the senator,
both the friends of Mr.. Fletcher and Mr.
Pitcher say that Fauquier will retaliate,
voting against Mr.. Ryan.
In the event that Mr. Ryan loses
many votes in Fauquier on account of
the fight over the senatOrship, Judge
Nicols friends assert that he will be
the gamer, as more of the disafieclet
votes will go TO him than TO any Of the
other candidates.
