’ PARIS PAPERS PREDICT RUPTUI‘lE.
-Americans Persist in IDenlaurling
’ . Philippines and Spain W'ill Refuse.
Paris, Nov. 11. ——The Paris pape. file.
Iter Wednesday’s meeting of the peac c
commissions, seemed to have gathen a
_from some source 01' other the impres-
Esion that the Spanish commissioners
:have cause for complaint against the
,Americans, because the latter present-
‘ed their replies to the Spanish propos-
rals in English and without a Spanish
translation of the document.
3 There is no basis for complaint on
the subject. The president of the Spa-
nish commission, Senor MonteroRios,
and Judge Day, the president of ._ the
iAmerican commission, agreed that, ow—
ing to the length of the document, all
concerned might be spared the reading
of matter which is usually translated
“.111 writing into Spanish for the benefit
of Senor Montero Rios and two other
fmembers of the Spanish commission
who do not understand English.
Each side, up to the present, has
made its own written translations, but
the Americans alone have supplied an
interpreter for the joint sessions, the
Spaniards relying on the American in—
terpreter instead of furnishing an in—
terpreter for their side, as they might
have been expected to do.
The American interpreter is Mr. Ar-
thur Ferguson, and the Spaniards have
marvelled at the facility with which
11. . did his work. They have never once
1 "ecked him or corrected him in the
1 :ghtest degree.
In view of the facts in the case some
1 1‘ the references of the Paris newspa—
pers are interesting.
The Figaro says: “The American
commissioners contented themselves
with producing a long memorandum,
written in English. After having de-
posited this upon the table, they left
the task of translating iit to the Span—
ish commissioners, apologizing courte-
ously for its length and the difficulties
of translation. They then retired. The
situation then at present is as follows:
The Americans persist in refusing to
take over the Cuban debt and exact
the cession .0f the Philippines. The
Spaniards, on their side, refuse to cede
the archipelago.”
The Petit Bleu. says: “All diplomat—
ic forms were outraged by the Ameri-
cans at yesterday’s'sitting. It is cus-
tomary in such cases to read the mem-
orandum presented to the other side.
The Americans, however, Leontented
themselves with throwing it, written
in English, upon the table.
‘ “A member of the Spanish commis-
sion has remarked that his colleagues
can‘ never admit the claims of Amer—
ica- in regard to the Philippine archi-
pelago."
The Petit Bleu then expresses its be-
lief ‘in an early rupture of the negotia- .
‘tions.
The Rappel says: “A Spanish com—
missioner has declared that the Span—
iards will yield only to force in the
question of the possession of the Phil-
ippine islands.” --

Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 11.——The’
Italian Anarchist, Luigi Luccheni, who
stabbed and killed the Empress Eliza-

in this city, was placed on trial here
yesterday.

was no excitement.
The public prosecutor, in reciting the
circumstances of the crime, said there
“as no clea1 evidence that Luccheni

intended to shield accomplices.
The testimony of an electrician, a
boatman, and a cabman, who assisted
in the capture of Luccheni, was then
taken.

Geneva to kill the Duke of Orleans;
but he arrived too late. He said that

The Whites Burn a. Negro News-
paper Oflice in Wilmington.
MANY NEGROES SHOT DQOWN
Cul‘mination of the Troubles at Wilming-
ton. A Conflict in “’hich Several Per-
sons Were 'Killed. Great
Among the Whites and Blacks.
Excitement
Wilmington, N. 0., Nov. 11.—-Events
moved quietly in Wilmington yesterday
but the white people have made good
their threats to take vengeance upon
the negro newspaper, which published
the editorial derogatory to white wu-
11:11.
7.30 o’clock, the negroes not hav-
ing tresponded to the demand for the
removal of the press of the Record (the
negro newspaper), ex-Representative
W'addell, the chairman of the white
repaired to
the Light Infantry armory, where he
was to meet. the citizens by appoint-
ment. -
Eight o’clock was the last hour of
grace for the negroes to reply, and that
hour passed without an answer being
received.
The citizens then waited half an
hour for reinforcements.
I11 the meantime armed men had be-
gun to gather in the wide street in
front of the armory. They carried ri—
fles, riot guns and ammunition, and
the assemblage included some of the
most respectable citizens of the town.
At 8.30 o’clock the procession, headed
by ex—Representative Waddell and the
committee of twenty—five, moved in the
direction of Seventh and Nunn streets,
where the Record printing shop is lo-
cated. All along the line of march the
procession was joined by armed citi-
zens, and when the negro quarter was
reached the negroes could be seen a
few blocks away, running into their
houses.
When the crowd arrived in front of
the Record office, a two-story frame
building, picket lines were thrown out
across the street and squads of. men
sent to squares in the neighborhood.
Leader waddell, with a rifle on his
shoulder, went to the door of the build-’
ing and knocked, but, there being no
response, the door was soon burst open.
commenced the work of destruction.
The furniture was smashed and thrown
into the street and the building was
fired and destroyed.
Some one turned in a fire alarm, and
when the engines responded the crowd
discharged their weapons and a f'usil—
ade of gun and pistol shots, cheers and
shouts filled the air.
The affair was soon over, however.
and no one was hurt.
The publishing house was destroycd
but the neighboring property was sav-
ed. .
The colored editor, Manly. his broth—
er, and their associates, have fled, and
could not be found by the citizens.
After destroying the printing house.
the marchers returned to the armory.
where they had left a rapid fire ma-
chine mounted in 21. wagon ready to be
dispatched to the scene if a battle
should take place.
The leaders ol‘. this. crowd said subse-
quently that it was not the intention
to burn the Record building; that it
was the work of some rash person or
by accident, and did not have the con--
currence of the committee of twenty-
five.
Yesterday's action of the whites was
the sequel of Wednesday’s meeting at
the county court house. and that of the
committee of twenty-five in the after—
noon as a result of which the negroes
were given until morning to return an
answer to the demand for the removal
of the press and the cessation of the
publication of the Record.
‘Vednesday night was an ominous
one for the citizens in the residence
section.
About eight o‘clock a street car came
into the business section and reported
that the negroes had fired into it and .
that the passengers had returned the
fire.
A car loaded with armed men was
soon speeding towards the scene of,
but the offenders escap- -
I be trouble,
ed.
All night long the whites kept guaid '
about the business and reSidence sec-
tions. but no incident occurred to dis—
turb the night.
At 10.30 o‘clock the scene shifted to
another section of the city. Scarcely
had the marchers disbanded at the ar-
»mory before word passed along that the
three hundred or four hundred negro
laborers of the great cotton compress
had quitted their work and were as-
sembling. .
The armed men hurried to the rivcx
front and took position at the head of
the streets leading to the docks. The
negroes gathered in groups of fifteen
or twenty, and hu-idled together, appa-
rently very much excited. They were
soon in a state of panic.
The preservation of order is practi—
cally vested in the committee of twen-
ty-five, who are now trying to restore
order; quiet the situation and hold in
check the reckless element among the 3
whites.
The rapid fire machine gun on a wag-
1n, manned by a crew armed with
Winchesters, was brought
fxont of the postoflice, but on the ad-
vice of the leaders was halted at that
place.
Soon after eleven o’clock word was
brought that reinforcements were nee-
ded in the negro section of Brooklyn.
'l‘he men were sent.
Twenty minutes later news came that =
ihere had been a collislon'between th.
whites and blacks and that blood had
been shed.
As a result of the trouble at Brook-
lyn it is believed that the negroes who
have been’killed will number four. A
white man named Mayo who was shot
'11 the stomach, has since died.
Another white man was hurt.
The situation is quiet at the scene of. .
the trouble now. The negroes have
gone into their houses.

Readers of the South Norwalk papers
have been familiar with it for over two
y ears. At first. it created consideIablo
excitement and the residents were
anxious and curious to know whose
statement. would be the next published.
Week after wee { went. by and the good
people of South N01 walk ceased to
wonder. and settled down to the fact
that What so many of their neighbors
said must be true. What was success-
ful in South Norwalk, is successful in
N orwalk. Any medicinal preparations

the letter, like Doan’s Kidney Pills.
becomes a. house-hold necessity. Ask
any citizen of South Norwalk what will
cure their back; the answer invariably
is Doan’ s Kidney Pills. One of those
11 hose testimony has helped to push
the good work along' 15 Mr. Frank St.
John, No. 56 Taylor avenue, a lock-
smith by trade, in the employ of the
Norwalk Lock 00., who says:
“I am not the only- one engaged in the
calling who suffers f10m backache, ag-
gravated by the constant change of
position and the bending and stooping.
l‘here are others in the factory and in
the city I know who are troubled 1n the
same way I had some disorder of my
kidneys which led to a. constant and
painful backache. I procured a box of
Doan’ s Kidney Pills at a drug store
and they brought about entire relief.
I am only too pleased to recommend so
valuable a preparation.”

Pets Travel in Baskets.
Not to be debarrcd from carrying
Fido on railroads where dogs are not
allowed, except in baggage cars, the
lup—to-date woman has adopted an in-
genious device. Some of the large
stores have been displaying unique
wicker baskets of a pattern and finish
which immediately attract the atten-
tion, of the shopper. These baskets
are shaped like an ordinary market
basket,.though finished a little more
artistically, and are opened at one
end for ventilation, but barred by rat-
tan nails to prevent Fido from escap-
ing. Madam can carry her pet on
board a train and, provided the dog or
tabby makes no noise, she is free
from detection.
Other shops are showing bags
for cats, parrots, monkeys and dogs.
These bags come in all sizes, are oil-
cloth lined, and shield the pet from
the conductor’s objecting eyes. Each
end of the satchel has heavy wire
gratings, which admit the air, and
may be instantly covered by canvas
screens in case a railroad official
comes uncomfortably near.~Philade-l-

Field Glass "l‘hat Sliow'é' Distances.
rl‘he latest improvements in optical
instruments is a gauge attached to a
field glass and a. prismatic lens 111101112
of the barrels to determine the dis-
tance of an object.- This is accom-
plished by producing two images of
the object seen, one superimposed upon
the other. The prism creates the an-
gle which forms the basis for the
mathematical calculation of the dis-
tance, and the scale contains the so-
lution in advance of the "cometrical
problem. .On the barrels of the glass
are human figures—~0ne of an infant-
ryman and the other of a cavalryman
"with a graduated’scale. By observ-
ing the portion of the body against
which the top of the second image is
projected and consulting the scale the
! distance of the object is easily ascer-
l rain-ed. Of course the accuracy of the
test depends upon accurate focusing
of the glasses and careful observe.

tion officers, accompanied the senator
into a. booth and witnessed the opera-
tion. somewhat complex in the Hoosier
state, of an American freeman exercis-

department at 11 o’clock, Sir Louis Da-
vies and Sir Wilfred Laurier of Can-
ada being absent, and were formallv

COTTON CROP REPORT.
Reports Indicate an Average Yield of 219
Pounds Per Acre.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 11.—Prelimi-
nary reports to the statistician of the
department of agriculture indicate an
' average yield of 219 pounds of cotton
per acre.
The principal state averages are as

Missis-
sippi 229, Louisiana .72, Texas 212, Ar-
,kansas 290, Tennessee 181, Oklahoma
249 and Indian Territory 325.
In the determination of these prelim-
inary figures reference has been made,
not merely to the estimated number of
pounds per acre reported by’ corres?
pondents, but also to the quantitative
comparison made by correspondents
‘ with last year’s crop and other crite-
rion.
An increase of about one hundred
and fifty thousand acres has been made
by the department to its preliminary
estimate of the acreage in Oklahoma
and in the Indian Territory.
The indications point to a total cot-
ton crop not far from ten million
bales.
REWARDS FOR NAVY CONSTRUCTOR.
Assistant Constructors to Be Advanced for
War Services.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 11.-—Secrc-
tary Long has decided to reward three
officers in the naval construction corps
for their faithful services during the
war at the different navy yards where
they bore the brunt of the immense
amount of work consequent upon fit-
ting out the auxiliary fleet.
These three officers are Assistant
Constructors Ruhm, Spear and Zahm,
who have been ordered to examination
for promotion, Ruhm at Mare island.
and the others at Newport News, this
week.
. The promotion of these three officers
will leave places at the bottom of the
list, which are to be filled next June
from cadets now being educated for
the construction corps.
It is COnstructor Hichborn’s purpose
to gradually increase the number in
this corps until the needs of the ser-
vice are supplied. There is no limit to
the corps by law.
Lake Michigan Storm-swept.
Chicago, Nov. 11.-—Lake Michigan is
being swept by a northeast gale, and
is tearing great holes in the sea wall
and the paved beach along the lake
front.
The Lincoln Park commissioners have
just gotten Well under way repairing
-the serious damage done by the storm
of October 25, but the heavy breakers
have now put the whole shore line in
a worse shape than ever.
The action of the waves has under-
mined the outer driveway in Lincoln
Park after washing over and displac-
ing the heavy granite blocks with
which the beach is paved.
Several vessels are overdue in Chl-
cago and some apprehensions are felt.
for their safety. '
Fighting in Indian Territory.
Eufaula, I. T., Nov. 1.——It is known
here that there has been fighting at
Okmulgee, the capital of the Creek na—
tion, where the council met Tuesday.
For over forty- -eight hours rumors of
trouble have been drifting in from 0k-
mulgee, which is forty miles away
from telephone service.
It is known, however, that the full
bloods have made an attack upon the
treaty leaders, at Okmulgee, and that
at least one man has been killed and
seven or eight w ounded. .
' All the Indian police at Agent W13-
dom’s disposal have been ordered to
Okmulgee and soldiers will follow.
The white people feel able to take
care of themselves. The only fear is
for the half breeds, who voted for the
treaty.
