a (HE ENPEROR ENTERS JERUSMLEN. A ROYAL WELCOME. German Ruler Received With Great Pomp by the Dignitaries of the Holy City—Visits the Scene of the Crucifiction. Emperor William accompanied by the empress Sunday made his trium- phal entry into the city of Jerusalem. The approach of their German im- perial majesties to the city was made through triumphal arches and amid banners, garlands and ever growing crowds, displaying in every way their enthusiasm and delight. The formal entry through the Jaffa gate was heralded by the roar of guns at the citadel, where the Turkish band played the German anthem. From the tower of David Emperor William and Empress Augusta Victor- ia proceeded on foot, amid wild cheer: ing, to the Church of the Holy Sepul- cher, Greek and Armenian clergy, whose patriarchs presented addresses eulogizing the devotion of Emperor ‘William, who has since conferred dec- orations on the patriarchs. Their majesties then proceeded to the German Evangelical Church, where the pastor presented an address. Saturday a reception was held at the German consulate, and later there was a general illumination of the city, with a display of fireworks. Emperor William and the empress, while at the Church of the Holy 8 pu - cher, visited the various portions of the sacred shrine and spent 10 minutes at the scene of the crucifixion. Their return from the church was the occas- ion for another outburst of popular enthusiasm, palm branches being strewn along the way and the cobble stones laid with carpets. The imperial pair also attended serv- ice at the Evangelical Church in Beth- lehem, afterward paying a visit to the Church of the Nativity. After the excursion to Jericho, Djevad Pasha, former grand vizier, re- cently Turkish governor of Crete and now attached to the person of Emper- or William as a special representative of the sultan, will leave the imperial suite: It is rumored that this is due to some unpleasantness. Emperor William has sent his portrait in brilliants to Tewfik Pasha, Turkish ambassador to Ger- many, who was among the high Otto- man dignitaries that received the em- peror and empress in Constantinople. The pilgrimage of the German ruler, besides costing bankrupt Turkey $1,- 500,000, will touch the emperor’s poc- ketbook to the tune of several million marks. His entire bodyguard were supplied with new white uniforms spe- cially designed for this one trip, the us- ual ones used in hottest weather in Germany being considered too warm. An extra gala uniform for each soldier was made ‘in addition to this for the entry into Jerusalem, which was a very imposing spectacular affair. The kaiserin ordered a great number of new toilettes for the journey, nearly all having been made in Berlin. All these toilettes, to say nothing of the kaiser's thousand-and-one uniforms, take up fabulous recom. There are 110 boxes altogether, those for dress being tremendously long, as each gown and uniform must lie at full length to avoid folds. ’ Placards denouncing the extraordi- nary sums of money spent by the Sul- tan in entertaining the emperor of Germany have been posted in Con- stantinople. The money, it is pointed out, came out of Mohametan pockets. RACE DIFFERENCES. Whites and Blacks Cannot Tolerate Each Other and Murders Result. Capt. James Crockett, commander of an oyster boat at Warsaw, Va, was killed and his mate seriously wounded by a negro cook near Colonial Beach Wednesday after a quarrel re- garding his ability as a chef. The crew report that after the shooting the negro jumped over board and was drowned, but the supposition is that he was killed and then thrown overboard by the enraged crew. Luther Sullivan and ‘“Jim:Mackay,”’ colored, were shot and killed the other night in Edgefield county, Ga., by a mob. The negroes were charged with killing Mrs. Atkinson, a white woman, who was shot while sleeping beside her husband. Speeches were made by citi- zems, begging that no force be used, but the mob insisted that killing was the only way of préserving the lives of whites. Information has. reached New Or- leans to the effect that Henry Ruffin, of St. Helena parish, La., was shot Sunday night for taking the part of a negro laborer, John Armsted, who quarreled with a white man, William Hutcheson. Ruffin is a white man and the lynching party was made up of white men. It seems that Armsted and Hutcheson were quarrelling and the negro struck utcheson. Help came and Ruffin took Armsted’s part. TURBULENT SPANISH TROOPS. Demand Pay From Blanco and He Places Them in Prison. The bitter feeling among the Spanish troops at Havana-ragainst the govern- ment for not paying them is increas- ing daily, and menaces possible out- breaks, entertaining’, serious trouble, before long. The Orden Publico con- stitute the most. .seditious: and turbu- lent element. At first the government proposed to pay ‘only those who were discharged. Then, after protest, it of- fered to pay all by promissory notes, a proposal which was refused. No cash settlement has been ‘made, and the entire body expresses-its dissatisfac- tion openly. A few days ago 80 frregulars, Movi- lizados, from the Camajauani regi- ment, arrived at Havana and went to the palace to demand pay. Their at- titude before Gen. :Blanco was such that he ordered them to be taken to the Cabanas prison, on pretext of be- ing fed there, but they have npt been allowed to leave the prison, and to all intents and purposes are under arrest, Twenty-one members of the civil guards of this provinge also. presented themselves at the palace to demand payment. They arrived just as the Movilizados were leaving for Cabanas prison and met Gen. Blanco’s aide, who threatened to send them there also. The threat had the desired effect,- and they left further trouble. the palace without A Newspaper From Manila. The first number of ‘The American Soldier,” the first American paper to ‘ be published at Manila. has reached Washington. It is a four-page affair, five columns to the page, and is pub- lished by the soldiers. It.is a weekly, flve cents per copy, and no long sub- scriptions are accepted. The news relates solely to doings of the soldiers. One- article tells of the remarkable friendship existing bet- ween Colonel Hawkins’ men, the Utah and Third artillery commands. They are spoken of as being like brothers. 2 NEWS ITEMS. The peace jubilee last week cost Philadelphia $133, Troops have left Camp Meade, Pa., forssouthern camps.

A sensation was caused at Ponce, Porto Rico, the other day, on the ar- rival of the Red Line steankier Phila- delphia, from the Spanish main, by the discovery in the handbags of two passengers of a number of explosive cartridges, containing dynamite. The discovery was made by the customs officials and the passengers were ar- rested on the supposition that they are Anarchists. GOVERNMENT OWNS THE TELEGRAPH IN PORTO RICO. Spain Controlled All the Lines in the Island and Turned Them Over to the United States. Primitive Instruments. An interesting experiment in Gov- ernnrent ownership of telegraph lines is now being conducted in Puerto Rico. It is expected that the test will dem- cnstrate the worth or fallacy of the claims of those who demand Govern- ment ownership of railroads and tele- graph. : The Spanish government owned v= ery important line on the island aid even exacted a royalty from persons having private lines. When the Sp ish evacuated Puerto Rico all the gov- ernment lines ‘were turned over to the United States. General Brooke placed Lieutenant Colonel Glassford, of the Signal Corps, in charge, and he in- stalled officers and men of his own corps in the telegraph offices and has been operating them since. The lines, nominally under the control of the War Department, are conducted in much the same manner as those be- longing to corporations in the United States. Every office has a specially detailed operator, who receives private mes- sages and press matter. As in the case of the telegraph companies in the United States all government business is given preference. The operators are required to submit statements to Lieu- tenant Colonel. Glassford, who com- pares and checks the day’s business. The facilities for telegraphing were of the most primitive character. The Spanish operators received messages from the old register and tape, , and sound reading was practically {j, un- known. The instruments were antique and in many instances practically worthless for up-to-date work. The Signal Corps has made frequent re- quisitions upon the War Department for modern appliances, and it is ex- pected that within a few weeks all the offices will be equipped with the latest instruments. General A. W. Greely, chief signal officer of the United States army, says that up to the present time the work of improving the service has been re- stricted to lines that were military recessitites. Offices from which only civil business was taken have been left to the last. In many of the otHces the Spanish operators remain in order that there may be no congestion of business through the ignorance of Spanish customs and language by the American operators. About 100 men of the Signal Corps are now employed in this service, and pith the introduction of American cu ms it is believed the number will be rhaterially increased. Cuba is likely to be subjected to sev- eral experiments of this kind. A CRUEL MURDER. To Please a Step-Mother Louis Jackson is Killed by an Inhuman Father. Nicholas Jackson, of Hackensack, who was sent to Trenton prison, last week, to serve ten.years for causing the death of his 6-year-old son Louis, confessed to Sheriff Herring and Deputy Sheriff Jackson while they were on their way to Trenton from Hackensack with the prisoner, On this information Mrs. Jackson is held as an accessory to the murder of her stepson. Here are Jackson's words to the Sheriff: : “My wife, whom I had only recently married, did not like Louis, my little boy, and we had many quarrels about him. She helped me to plan the mur- der, and I was to put the boy on the tracks. I went to Teaneck and stood near the West Shore Railroad track. I was afraid to put the youngster on the track alive for fear he would get off, so I struck him in the stomach with an iron bolt and that made him un- conscious. “Then I put him on the track just below the crossing, and waited for a train to come along. When I was convinced that he was dead I went home, I fixed up the story about my leaving the boy asleep on the hill near the tracks, to save my life. The jury believed me and found me guilty of manslaughter, thinking that ILouis walked on the track and was struck by a train. [ got off dead easy.” Prosecutor Stagg will go to Trenton this week and make arrangements to have Jackson appear before the next grand jury to testify as to Mrs. Jack- son’s connection with the plan of mur- cer. GERMANS FRIGHTENED. Those Searching for Cholera-Germs Must Do So in Seclusion. There has been considerable fright in Berlin owing to the plague news from Vienna, and the government deemed it necessary to allay popular anxiety by ‘announcing that no ex- periments similar to those which led to the outbreak at Vienna had been permitted in the Berlin laboratories. Dangerous experiments, in spite of this announcement, are known to have been and are still being carried on at a number of the universities and pri- vate research for Asiatic cholera germs is proceeding in the private la- boratories of scientists like Profs. Vir- chow, Lelden, Koch and others, and the Colugne ‘‘Gazette’” urges the gov- ernment to take measures to prevent infection by requiring an official per- mit for such experiments, which, it is claimed, should be restricted to speci- ally isolated buildings. Thanksgiving Day Proclamation. President McKinley after referring to the honored custom of our ances- tors in setting aside a day for National thanksgiving concludes his proclama- tion as follows: I do, therefore, invite all my fellow citizens, as well those at home as those who may be at sea or sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe Thursday, the 24th day of November, as a day of national thanksgiving, to come together in their several places of worship for a service of praise and thanks to Almighty God for all the blessings of the year, for the mildness of the seasons and the fruitfulness of the soil, for the continued prosperity of the people; for the devotion and valor of our countrymen, for the glory of our victory and the hope of a right- eous peace, and to pray that the Di- vine guidance which has brought us heretofore to safety and honor may be graciously continued in the years to come. In witness whereof, etc. WILLIAM McKINLEY. Work for Cubans. Work upon the landing stage which is being constructed at Havana for the disembarkation of the American troops upon their arrival was begun Monday. Sixty Cubans of Colonel Menocal’'s command are employed: The engineers in charge of the work say these Cubans are excellent work- ers. Eaeh laborer receives compensa- tion at the rate of $1.20 in silver per day—a dollar in cash and twenty cents credited to the mess fund provided by the engineers. This idea is considered a capital one, as it insures substantial food for the workmen, who need it badly. J MINISTRY ' OVERTHROWN. Enemies of Dreyfus Rejoice over the Fall of th French Cabinet. As the result of the failure of the house of deputies to vote an expression of confidence in Premier M. Brisson, the French cabinet Tuesday resigned their portfolios and left the chamber amid a tumult of applause or derision from friend and foe. The entire session was stormy, and during an enforced recess the feelings of the members seemed but to gather strength and bit- terness. When the chamber reassemb- led the pent up storm broke in fury over the government and the resigna- tions followed. These events following each other so rapidly have caused a tremendous sen- sation throughout the city, and the foes of Dreyfus are wild over their vic- tory. The boulevards are alive with excitement while the roadways are constantly patrolled by detachments of the Republican Guard and infantry. The city \bears all the outward ap- pearance ofMeing, as it virtually ig, in a state of siege. Crowds of people|are moving restlessly about, ready to in any disturbance that arises. : The most significant feature is the appearance of a large number of fana- tical viragos, the apostolic successors of those who played such a part in the Commune. These fierce, unkempt, re- pellant creatures are using all their arts to incite their male companions to overt acts of violence. The cleavage between the military and civil authori- ties is so complete that M. Brisson does not feel certain that troops could be relied upon to quell any serious turbu- lence. About midnight a mob of members of the Patriotic League smashed the windows and glass staircase of a shop whose owner is said to be a Hebrew, at the corner of the Rue Auber and ‘the Rue Scribe. President Faure has asked M. Dupuy to form a cabinet in succession to the Brisson ministry, which resigned on Tuesday. It is thought that the cabi- net will be composed as follows: M. Dupuy, premier and minister of the interior; M. De Freycinct, minister of war; M. Ribot, minister of finance; M. Constans, minister of justice; M. Bourgeois, minister of public instruc- tion; M. Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs. join GREAT BRITAIN’S TERMS. France Must Withdraw Her Troops From Fa- shoda. Marchand May Remain As a Visitor. Great Britain has determined not to allow the French to rule in Africa and the action of the cabinet in regard to Gen. Marchand and the French troops now at Fashoda can be summarized as follows: First—Marchand must be withdrawn unconditionally and no undertaking or promise can be given to discuss the questions raised by France in regard to access to the Nile and such like. Second—When Marchand is with- drawn it will be determined whether the questions raised admit of discus- sion and under what conditions the discussion can be proceeded with. Third—Every possible facility will be afforded to assizt in Marchand’s with- dra wal by whichever route selected. Fourth—1f Marchand is not with- drawn there will be no interference with his remaining at Fashoda, nor date fixed for his withdrawal. Neces- sarily reinforcements will not be per- mitted to reach him. He will be treated courteously, as a foreign visitor, and will be regarded in no other light. Fifth—Therefore it is left to France to adopt any active measures to pre- cipitate a conflict. The Pall Mall Gazette adds that it has good reason to believe that while Russia has counselled France to tide over the difficulty and avoid war, she has promised to throw her weight in the scale at no distant date, for the purpose of bringing the whole Egyp- tian question and the British occupa- tion of Egypt to the front for settle- ment. Gen. Lord Kitchener of Khartoum and Capt. Baratier, the bearer of Maj. Marchand’s Fashoda report, arrived from Alexandria, Egypt, at Marseilles, France, Wednesday. During the voy- age Lhe two officers dined together and cordially conversed on the customs of the tribes and peoples each had met. ‘The Cairo correspondent of the Lon- don Daily Mail telegraphs a curious report that Major Marchand has been requested to withdraw om Fashoda by the way he reached it. The arrival of Major Marchand, the French leader, at Khartoum on his way to Cairo, Egypt, is taken in Eng- land as meaning that France is about to retire gracefully from the disputed position at Fashoda. MAINE MAY BE RAISED. San Francisco Company Offers to Bring the Ves- sel to the United States. The Acme Wrecking Company of San Francisco has made a request up- cn the navy department fer authority to raise the battleship Maine. . pro- poses to blow the mud from under the wreck by means of streams of water, and then to pass under chains and at- tach them to frame work connected with a system of steel barrels. The company simply asks authority to raise the Maine and bring her to this country. If the government wants the ship after she reaches the United States the company will want to be paid salvage money through condem- nation proceedings. It is probable in case the government did not want the ship the company would exhibit her in different large seacoast cities of the United States. No money is demanded from the govern- ment by the company. Large Sum for Damages. The Peruvian government has asked congress to vote the sum of $40,000 to pay the claim of Victor H. MacCord, consular agent of the United States at Arequipa, Peru, in 1885, against the government for damages sustained by reason of imprisonment during the revolutionary outbreak, in accordance with the award of the Rt.-Hon. Samuel Henry Strong, president of the su- rreme court of Canada. OUR NEW POSSESSIONS. Each discharged Spanish soldier re- maining in Cuba will be paid $25 by Gen. Blanco. Penniless negroes from Haiti and other parts-will- not be permitted to land in Santiago. Admiral Dewey says that unless Aguinaldo releases all of the Spanish prisoners he will seize the vessels of the insurgents. When the troops now en route arrive at Manila, Gen. Otis will have at his command 17,500 men, The last note on the Cuban evacua- tion has been sent to Spain by the United States government. The troops must leave Cuba by January 1. The government is removing all the beggars from the streets of Havana. There are hordes of them and they are taken to various asylums and renal institutions. The opinion seems to be settled in Paris that the American commissibn- ers will arrange for the cession to the United States of the entire Philippines archipelago, this country assuming the debt of $40.000.000 on the islands. PROTESTS KO LONGER OVER CUBN. SPAIN YIELDS. America Will Not Assume the Debt of the Is- land—The Philippine Question to be Considered Next. The United States will not shoulder the Cuban debt and the Spanish com- missioners will enter no further pro- test. The American commissioners firmly but courteously declined to as- sume for the United States the entire or joint responsibility for the Spanish financial conditions, and the Spanish commissioners have finally abandoned the effort and have agreed that the Cuban article of the protocol shall, without conditions, have a place in the ultimate treaty of peace. In spite of thé fact that the Spanish commissioners had, as a background of their efforts, doubts of succeeding, their hope of so doing has been so keen and their contention has been so vig- orously prosecuted that the final con- viction of their inability to win their point brought to the Spaniards such a shock and depression that, consistent- ly with these dispatches at the tinue, there were grave doubts as to the con- tinuance of the negotiations. In support of these statements is the fact that Senor Montero Rios, after Monday's session and on Tuesday last would have resigned the presidency of the Spanish peace commission had he not believed that his so doing may have grievously shaken, even if it had not unseated Senor Sagasta's govern- ment. Thus Spain agrees to relinquish sovereignty over and claim to Cuba without either terms or conditions. All differences, if any existed, regard- ing Porto Rico and the selection of the island of Guam, were arranged by a mutual understanding. The Philippine question will be taken up next, The American commissioners among other things have been looking into the subject of the Philippine debt, about which there is much ignorance at this end of the, line. It is unlikely the same rule will be applied to that debt as was insisted upon relative to the Cuban debt. In other words if the United annexes the Philippines, which seems now to be the logical outcome of the situation, it might be reasonably con- tended that at least so much of the debt as represented moneys expended for the improvement of the islands should pass to the United States with the title. The situation is regarded as materially different from that ini Cuba where the United States gains nothing substantial, for with the annexation of the Philippines this country would ac- quire a territory almost as large as the British isles with a population of more than §,000,000 people. It will be for the American commissioners to arrange the details of the transfer of the Philippines to the United States, as it is expressly stipulated in the peace protocol that the disposition of the Philippines shall be arranged by the peace commissioners. The court of cassation, which is to decide the Dreyfus case in Paris opened its session last Friday. The general opinion is that the court will decide that the condemnation was illegal. have States WOULD NOT RECEIVE ADVICE. Gen. Greely Holds Shafter Responsible for Loss of Life at Santiago. Brigadier General A. W. Greely, chief signal officer, has presented to Secre- tary Alger his report of the operations of the Signal Corps during the recent war with Spain. General Greely strongly commends the use of the war balloon, and declares that its utility was thoroughly demon- strated. Concerning the criticism made of the balloon operations at Santiago, he says: “The forcing of the Signal Corps bal- loon to the skirmish line, where its po- sition is reported to have caused seri- ous loss to the troops by disclosing their movement and attracting the enemy's fire, was the action of Major General Shafter, through his Chief En- gineer, Colonel George McC. Derby, in face of the professional advice given by Lieutenant Colonel Maxfield, of the United States Volunteer Signal Corps, who is charged with the practical ope- ration of the balloon, and who, besides sharing absolutely every danger to which Colonel Derby was subjected, in addition had his horse shot under him in a previous reconnaisance of the ground.” General Greely says that ‘the Signal Corps failed to receive from Major General Shafter in his original report even a notice that it participated in the Santiago campaign.” An American Girl Royally Installed. L. Z. Leiter of Washington and Chi- cago has purchased the premises at No. 1 Carlton House terrace, London, for his daughter, Lady Curzon of Ked- leston, vicerein of India, for $200,000. The house is next door to the residence of Arthur J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury and government leader in the house of commons. Carlton House terrace, at the northwest corner of St. James park, is a row of twenty-two magnificent residences with a colon- nade of marble pillars. It takes its name from Carlton house, which for- merly stood on the site now known as Waterloo place. The locality is one of the most exclusive in IL.ondon. Office Holders to be Removed. It is understood that a presidential edict removing a large number of Gov- ernment offices from the civil service will probably be promulgated before Thanksgiving Day. Upwards of 6,000 places will be affected. It will include 2,000 deputy collectors of internal rev- enue who are authorized to become acting collectors, actually serving in that capacity. The largest class af- fected is the corps of examining sur- geons of the pension bureau, of whom there are in all over 4,100. Over 3,300 of these surgeons have, it is said, never been classified under the civil service law. Remedy for Drunkenness, Dr. Frederick W. D’Evelyn of St. Luke's hospital, San Francisco, is in New York advancing a plan to inocu- late all children against intemperance in latter life, just as they are inocu- lated against smallpox. Dr. D’Evelyn said “Degeneration is hydration.” This, he explained, meant that the or- dinary symptoms of degeneracy are traceable to alcholism acquired through inheritance, and alcoholism is due to the effect of alcohol upon the water in the blood. Tobacco Trust Formed. The Union Tobacco Company of America, capitalized at $10,000,000, filed a certificate of Incorporation with the secretary of state at Albany, N. Y., Tuesday. The company’s capital is composed of $2,000,000 preferred stock and $8,000,000 common stock. Its prin- cipal office is to be in New York city and its purposes to manufacture and sell tobacco in all its forms. Many Applicants for Pensions. Up to date 2,000 claims for pensions have been filed by soldiers and sailors and their dependents on account of the war with Spain. Of this number 70 were [for victims of the Maine. - ed PEACE JUBILEE IN PHILADELPHIA. Honored hy Ocean Craft Three Miles in Length—Secre= tary Long Represents the Government. Grim Cruisers and Battleships Philadelphia Tuesday opened (ts peace jubilee and gave a thunderous greeting of praise, welcome and thanks to a puissant armada and the men who swept it on to unchallenged victory. Some of the most illustrious actors of the war were there. Sigsbee, Philip, vans and Wainwright were some of e men, and the Texas, Gloucester, Vinslow and Mayflower were some of he ships. The government was represented by Secretary of the Navy Long: the peo- ple by a throng that lined either shore of the Delaware river and jammed every available craft to the point of dunger. . The marine pageant was one of surpassing Jbrilliancy and grandeur. The yacht May, with Secretary Long and party abroad, led the parade, the ships of the navy being anchored in single file in midstream, the line ex- tending from Christian to Hayrer streets, a distance of three miles. Secretary Long, with Lieut. Souther- land and Capt. “Bob” Evans on either side, stationed himself on the bridge of the May, and presently the Columbia, the first of the w arships, was reached. Her officers and men were drawn up on the forward and after decks, every hand raised in salute, and then her six-pounders began to roar out the sec- retary’s salute of seventeen guns. With the beginning of the salute came the bugle and drum salute from the ship and before the echoes of the first shot had been swallowed by the boom of the second a veritable pandemonium of whistles, smaller guns and the roar of the crowds broke out and continued throughout the procession. For three hours last Thursday Wil- liam McKinley, commander-in-chief of the United States army and navy, saw his victorious sons pass in review be- fcre him. It was military and naval day of the great peace jubilee. Twen- ty-five thousand men marched in the most brilliant and spectacular pageant the country ‘has witnessed in many years. Major General Miles, shal, rode at the front of the proces- sion, immediately behind the emer- gency corps, until he reached his spec- ial reviewing stand at Broad and York streets, the northern end of the route, where he dismounted. General ‘Joe’ Wheeler rode behind the governors, his gray head bared for some minutes be- fore and after the presidential stand was reached, and bowing repeatedly to the President's waving hat and the ap- plause of the others of the party and the people generally. General Summer, Captain Evans, Commodore Philip, Sigsbee, Colonel Huntingdon, marines of Guantanamo fame, ceived tumultuous greeting, but, after all, perhaps the loudest ovation was that given Hobson and his Merrimac crew. They rode on a tally-ho, and as they reached the reviewing stand all rose. faced the President and bowed their bared heads. To Christen a Battleship Wit The battleship christening commis- sion of Wisconsin is in receipt of a proposition from a Milwaukee brewing company, to the effect that beer, in place of champagne, be used in chris- tening the battleship Wisconsin next month.
