BAY sures OISE. Addicks Retires From the Company and Receivers Discharged. :1? STANDARD “OIL IN CONTROL. W'illiam Rockefeller et a]. Acquire the Property as a. Result of a Compro- mise—Opposition to Addicks’ Sena.- torial Aspirations \Vlthdrawn. BOSTON, Nov. 2.-——Thomas W. Lawson. vice president of all the gas companies in and about the city, issued a statement to- night relative to the settlement of the Bay State gas affairs. Mr. Lawson says in part: - “After volumes of romancing and many chapters of mystery the Boston gas situa- tion is settled, unqualifiedly, absolutely settled. This magnificent property, the result of the genius of J. Edward Ad- dicks, has been turned over to"one of the “strongest aggregations of wealth and busi- ness brains in the United States, known as" the Standard Oil interests. “This action means that J. Edward Ad- dicks has given up and abandoned the Boston gas field, which, under his organ- ization and management, has been one of the most profitable and best conducted in this country or in fact in the world. He has given it up, I believe, because he rec- cgnizes that all classes of securities will greatly enhance in market price under the management of the people, who have just come in. than under his own.” The new board of directors are William Rockefeller, J. G. Moore and H. H. Rog- ers of New York, and Henry M. Whitney, Sidney Chace, Robert Amory and A. C. Barrage of Boston. By this new arrange- ment Mr. Addicks retires from the Bay State gas management. Mr. Whitney’s friends ally themselves with the Standard Oil people in the control of the Boston gas field, and Mr. Addicks is not to be obliged to face outside opposition to his ambition to be United States senator from Delaware. How the Compromise \Vas Efl‘ected. The changes have apparently all grown out of the negotiations connected with the purchase of the Brookline Gas company. This purchase was one of the develop- ments that followed the passage of Mr. Whitney’s pipe line gas bill. That deal was understood to have been made possi- ble by the interest of Mr. Whitney in the matter, and in fact the option was said to have rested in his hands. The transaction in its completeness in- volved between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. The Bay State gas people paid in install- ments, the last of which falls due tomor— row. All of this the Bay State gas people stood to lose in case they failed to carry out their end of the trade. In the strin- gency of the money market attendant on the political elections, the meeting of this payment caused some uneasiness on the part of the Bay State people. Those most interested thought that a compromise might be effected with the Brookline peo- ple—that is, the Standard Oil interests—— if Mr. Addieks were only cut of the way. Matters took such a turn that they broached the affair to Mr. Addicks him- self. He, it is understood, was willing to rétire only on the guarantee that his sena- torial ambitions should be no longer op- posed. On the assurance, it is said, that the receivership suits would be dismissed, and active opposition to his senatorial campaign withdrawn, he retired, and the above directors were chosen. Bay State Gas Company Case. WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. 2. —— Judge Wales has entered an order discontinuing the suit of William Buchanan of New York against the Bay State Gas company and also vacating the order of Oct. 15 ap- pointing receivers for the company. The receivers are directed to surrender to the Bay State Gas company all contracts, books. and other papers they have received. The injunction restraining the creditors, officers and directors of the company from interfering with the property, books and other assets of the said corporation is dis- missed. British Parliament’s Programme. LONDON, Nov. 2.—-The cabinet will meet on Nov. 4 and again on Nov. 7, when the Ministerialists hope that Lord Salis- bury will be able to tell his colleagues of the success of his diplomacy regarding European and American questions The list of hills to be promoted in parliament is known by the lapsed measures of last season. Chief among those is the educa- tion bill, the failure of whn'o is undoubt- edly said to have hastened t..edcath of the archbishop of Canterbury. The bill, un- der process of amendment, has become so transformed from its original sectarian character that it may, if carried, give a dangerous shock to other prelates. Jersey Cows Go lIIad. PORT Jnnvrs, N. Y., Nov. 2.—Dr.,Whit- field Gray, veterinary surgeon Of N ew- ton, has been called to examine cows strangely affected on the farm of Samuel Wolf near Beamerville, N. J.

Dr. Gray has reported the facts to the state board of health of New Jersey. More Olympian Games.

The American Bark Serene Had a. Rough Experience In Northern Waters. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.——The American bark Serene, Captain Anderson, has ar- rived here from lvigtut, after a six months’ battle with icebergs in the north- ern icefields. The Serene brought infor- mation of the loss of the British bark Ar- genta, which was crushed by the ice, and , she also had on board part of the Argen- ta’s crew, consisting of Mate Johnson, Second Mate McLeod and Seamen Ham- bof, Heatford, Carroll and Erickson. Cap- tain Smith and the rest of the crew are on board the bark Silicon. Mate Johnson said tonight that for days and nights the Argenta’s crew underwent intense suffering, with scarcely any food. They reached the coast of Greenland at Averait on Aug. 20, after tramping over ice for a distance of three miles from the point where their vessel was crushed. After several attempts they finally reached Frederiokshaat, where they re- mained until Aug. 27, when worn out and exhausted they pulled for the harbor of Hasalik, wh er theSerene and Silicon were held by the ice. The survivors were taken on board, and the two vessels finally reached Ivigtut. The Serene and Silicon are two of the Kryolite barks that were thought to have been lost. TALKS OP PORTII‘IOATIONS. General Craighill Makes a Report on Im- portant Changes at Military Points. WASHINGTON. Nov. 2.—Under the head of fortifications in his annual report Gen- eral Craighill, chief of engineers, says that detailed projects have been approved for the artillery defence of various points, among them the eastern entrance to Long Island sound (partial) and New York. There have been negotiations for the purchase of sites at Charleston, Balti- more, Narragansett bay and Portland, Me. The general urgently recommends an appropriation of $100,000 for the preserva- tion and. repair of fortifications, and says the work of preparing 'emplacements for guns has been pushed with much vigor where the money was available, particu- larly at New York, Delaware river and Charleston. Under the head of rivers and harbors it is said that experience has shown that the system providing funds for carrying on continuously and completing certain works has resulted in materially reducing costs and granting benefits to commerce. The general restricts his estimates for the year to the amounts necessary to meet obligations under contracts. They aggre- gate $22,778,053. THE TURKISH LOAN. Not Fallen Through, but the Porte Hesi- tates to Pay Big Interest. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—-—The Herald’s Con- stantinople correspondent says: The telegram sent by an agency stating that the lighthouse loan had fallen through is not accurate. There is merely a differ- ence'on giving the rate of interest asked, Turkey considering 8 per cent on such good security exorbitant. In order to satisfy the Armenians a new patriarch will be appointed as isoon as possible. Only after his appointment will the new reforms be carried out. Appointments are rapidly being made in connection with the reforms, and a great number of Christians are being se- lected. The cost of the reforms will be $1,500,- 000 yearly. The question here now is drifting from a political into a financial one. In the latter sense it is acute. Howard Gould and the Niagara. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-—Howard Gould re- turned on the, steamship St. Louis after an absence of some months. He said, in relation to the difficulty with the English yachtsmen, that he thought the matter was settled. “I do not care to discuss it further, as my letter explains my position fully and expresses my sentiments. In- cidentally I may say that I shall probably race the Niagara in the Kiel regattas on the coast of France and in the Baltic next summer, unless I decide in the spring to bring her over here and race her in these Waters.” American Can’t Sing In lIIadrid. LONDON, Nov. 2.——Jeanne Nuola, the American singer, by the desire of the In- fanta Eulalia, was engaged for the winter season at the Madrid opera house. but the contract, she has been informed, is can- celed. owing to the irritation in Spain against the United States for alleged sup- port given to the insurgents in Cuba. The director of the opera house says: “If an American sang under the patronage of the court it would lead to a demonstration against the royal family.” I Shot by a Fugitive. JERSEY CITY, Nov. 2.—While attempt- ing to arrest an Italian, Giusseppi Favan- ni, Marshal John Harmon of Hudson Heights was shot and perhaps mortally wounded near Fairview. Harmon, who had been searching for the Italian for some days, found him this afternoon at his home. Favanni appeared at the win- dow with a shotgun and ordered the mar- shal back. Harmon burst in the door, and as he did so received a charge of shot and sings in the breast. Big \Vhales 011‘ Cape lIIay. CAPE MAY, Nov. 2.—While E. P.

MALDEN, Mass, Nov. 2.—Maud Bras- sington, 18 years old, who has been de- spondent for the past three weeks, com— mitted suicide by shooting herself through the heart.

STEUBENVILLE, 0, Nov. 2.—-Mrs. John Snyder and three children of this city were in a carriage on the upper ferryboat yel- terday. The horse became unmanageable and backed into the river with the occu- pants. Mrs. Snyder was resoued, but the three children were drowned. OLNEY’S TERKISEI POLICY. Wholesome Influence on the Porto of the Presence of American \Varships. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.——The apparent idleness of Admiral Selfridge’s strong fleet in the harbor of Smyrna for the last few weeks is provoking considerable specula- tion among officials who do net enjoy the full confidence of the administration as to its attitude toward Turkey, and naval oili- cers are generally of the opinion that the porte has been affected by the fleet’s pres— ence, and has become so much more sym- pathetic to Minister Terrell’s demands and remonstrances that Americans are no lon- ger unguarded in the sultan’s dominions, nor is the disposition to procrastinate over the claims for destruction to missionary property so offensive. ' Under these circumstances officials won- der why none of the cruisers are engaged in their hitherto frequent visits to Mersi~ na, Beyrout and other ports on the Turk- ish coast. Up to this time it has been the policy of the state department to have the ships continually moving about the Med- iterranean, appearing unexpectedly at va- rious points, but the Minneapolis has now been at Smyrna since Oct. 7, the San Francisco and the Cincinnati since Oct. 14, and the Bancroft since Oct. 15. The Marblehead reached Gibraltar from Smyr- na five days ago and is'expected to sail for New York by way of the Azores. There is no doubt whatever that the long stay of the squadron at Smyrna is not due to any discretionary powers re- posed in Admiral Selfridge, who was hur- ried down to the Mediterranean just when he was enjoying visits to English and French ports. It is evident to those fa- miliar with him and with naval practices that his vessels have been kept in the ex- treme eastern end of the Mediterranean and as near as possible to Constantinople by specific instructions from the president, and the belief is expressed that his ships will resume their cruises upon the com- plete accomplishment of Minister Ter- rell’s present efforts. . Their departure under those circum- stances will be considered the signal of the administration’s success in the negotia- tions which have been so annoying for the last year. VANDBRBILTS SETTLE. The Suit For Separation Brought Against the Commodore’s Nephew \Vithdrawn. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—The action‘for sep- aration brought by Mary Vanderbilt against Jacob H. Vanderbilt has appar- ently been settled out of court. An order for discontinuanze has been entered in the supreme court. The couple were married in 1886. The husband is a son of the late Captain Ja- cob Vanderbilt of Staten Island, and a nephew of the late Commodore Vander- bilt. He married against his father’s wishes, and when the knowledge of it was conveyed to the father he ordered his son to rid himself of his I: .fe or be disinherited. The young man ioilowed the parental advice and left his wife, who immediately suerl for a separation, bringing an action at the same time against her father-in- law for alienating her husband’s affec- tions. The attorneys on both sides refused to give out any information relative to,,,the case. Death of Senator “'ebster. \lersnncnv, Conn, Nov. 2.—Senator Danie-l F. Webster, one of the most prom- inent Republicans in the state of Connec- ticut, a leading member of the New Haven county bar and one of \Vaterbury’s most- estcemed citizens, died after an illness of only two days with peritonitis. Senator Webster was born in Litchfield 43 years ago. He was graduated from Dartmouth college and adopted law as his profession. He held many offices, both city and state, having been mayor of Waterbury, a-repre— sentative, a state senator in the last’ gen- eral assembly, and at the time of his death was prosecuting attorney in Water- bury. The Late John Stetson’s “’ill.

BOSTON, Nov. 2.—George B. Fuller, proprietor of a lodging house in this city, was probably fatally stabbed at his house by one of a party of four men who demanded admission to the house this morning. Fuller refused to let them in because they were intoxicated, and one of them drew a knife and stabbed him in the abdomen and side. . Gasoline Vapor Explodes.
