AN ABSOLUTE FAILURE
First Plot Against Blanco
Foiled.
WEYLER'S FRIENDS THE PLOTTERS
Arrests Were Made In at Frio tine; Office
Where Kabid Circolars Were
Belne Printed.
New Yohk, Nov. 30. Captain-General
Blanco crashed in the bud the first
overt act of hostility against the estab
lishment of autonomy on .the part of
the insurgents led by Weyler's partisans
says the correspondent of the Herald at
Havana. The government has been
aware lor several days that a demonslra
tion was about to be made.
It was discovered yesterday that it
would take the form of a secret circular.
calling on radical Spaniards to thwart
the plans of the present administration
The police raided the printing office of
El Commercio and eeized a large num
ber of printed circulars.
They were headed "Viva Weyler,"and
contained a glorification of Weyler and
' a virulent attack on the United States
and General Blanco. The circulars were
Bigned by many Spasiards and bore the
date of "Santa Clara, November 23d.
These circulars have been distributed
through the mails in black -edged en
velopes purporting to contain funeral
notices.
The discovery was followed immedi
ately by the arrest of Eva Canel, a well
known newspaper woman, who is noted
as one of the most active of Weyler's
partisans, Joe Hermida.tbe mayor's sec
retary, and other employes ot the print
ing office.
Considerable excitement was caused
by the arrests, which are generally ap
plauded by the friends of order, as giv
ing proof of the determination of the
eovernment to stand firm in its inten
tion to carry out its. program and deal
sternly with all attempts to incite vio
lence. '
How Blanco Keeds Faith.
New York, Nov. 30. A Havana dis
patch to the Herald says :
As evidence of good faith toward re
pentant rebels, the government will ap
point Jesus and Adolfo Cuervo, to su
perintendences of customs at CienfuegoB
and Sagua. They will have important
posts. '
Spanish officials say that 800 more
men of the Cuervos command will sur
render. Clothing and 5 will be given
to each of them.
Discovered by Astronomer Iee.
Boston, Nov. 30. Astronomer dis
coveriee of great importance are reported
by Dr. T. J. J, Lee, who has charge of
Lowell observatory, at Flagstaff, Ariz
established and maintained by Percival
Lowell.
Dr. Lee, who is now in Boston, gave
an interesting account of his recent dia
coveries through the twenty-four-inch
telescope built by Allen Clark & Sons,
which has been in use for eighteen
months. He said since August, 1896, he
has discovered about 560 new doable
stars and 700 objects unnoted by pre
- vious observers. Many of the stellar
system discovered are large and bril
liant, and thus possess the highest in
terest.
The discovery of the 500 new double
' Btars is accounted the most important
contribution to Southern astronomy
- since the survey of. Sir John Hershel,
sixty years ago. One of these Btars has
been found to revolve only once in five
years and another in about sixteen years.
. Both have become of the highest in
terest to observers. .
A phenomena of general interest is
the twinkling stars, so familiar on clear
cold nights. This, Dr Lee says, is due
to small waves or currents in the atmos
phere about the size of an egg 6r some
times even larger than' a man's head.
These little waves fill the air nnder cer
tain conditions, as on a cold night, and
imposing before the eye, dart the light
from side to side, and in this way con
vert the light of the star into colors or
extinguish it entirely. The . appearance
is similar to . the light reflected from
wavy, running water. Mr. Douglass
discovered how to see these waves with
telescope and Dr. Lee brings proof that
they cause the twinkling. '
Other important discoveries have been
made at the Lowell observatory.
William Opens the Reichstag.
" Berlin, Nov. 30. Emperor William
. opened the session of the reichstag in
person today for the first time since 1894,
The ceremony took place in White hall,
read
l he speech from ths trironp..'
Tn navyoccnpid the' principal place
iu the speech, tbe concluding passage
on this subject being as follows:
"Although it is not our object to vie
with maritime powers for the first rank,
Germany must nevertheless be placed
in a position to maintain by means of
preparedness at eea her prestige among
the people of the globe.". - v
Referring to the naval demonstrations
in Kaio Chao bay, China, tbe emperor
said :
V The murders of missionaries and at
tacks on mission stations which have
been placed i!irlr my imperial protec
tion, lia co'iiiwllfd me to order my
squai'.roi) :n Kasturn Asia to proceed to
Kaio Chao bav. the scene nsarest the
point of outrage, f nd land troops in or
der to obtain full reparation and se
curity against farther lamentable events
of the kind."
Tonching the general political situa
tion he said :
"Our political relations with foreign
states are in everv way gratifying, and
valuable guarantees of the maintenance
of these relations have again been af
forded me by my meetings with friendly
end allied uionarchs."
BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK.
A Santa Fe Freight Train Wrecked and
Three Men Killed..
Flagstaff, Ariz., Nov. 29. Word
comes of a wreck on the Santa Fe near
Williams, in which three men lost their
lives and much valuable property was
destroyed.
After the first section of freight train
No. 34 had pulled out of Williams the
air that controls the brakes gave out and
the train dashed down the steep grade
with rapidly increasing velocity. The
band brakes were unavailing to check
the speed and wben a point about ten
miles west was reached the train left the
track. Two engines were coupled to the
train, which was a heavy one. Engin
eers Newton and Watson and Fireman
Berry were pinned nnder their respec
tive engines and lost their lives, it is
said, by being burned to death.
A Gigantic Enterprise.
New York, Nov, 30. Efforts were be
gun six months ago to consolidate under
one ownership and an agent the wire
rod, wire nail and other wire interests of
tbe United States. Material progress
has been made in the last ten days, and
meeting has just been held in this
city, at which every wire manufacturer
in the country was represented. For
some time after tbe plan was set on foot
it looked as if consolidation would not
be accomplished, but finally a basis ac
ceptable to all was arranged, and tbe
meeting was held to perfect the final
details in this stupendous transaction.
According to tbe press, J. P. Morgan
& Co. are financial backers of the enter
prise, which involves $60,000,000. Tbe
capital will be furnished by American
and German firms.
Liberal Again in Favor.
Toronto, Dec. 1. Toronto, which
previous to the last general election, has
been held by the conservatives, has
elected George Bertram, a liberal, to
represent Toronto in the house of com
mons. . The.election shows that the lib
erals are more firmly entrenched in pub
lic favor in Ontario than ever before.
The vote was : Oliver Holland, con
servative, 1,948; Bertram, liberal, 2,-

CL4RK TO STEP DOWN
Winter Slated for the Union
Pacific Presidency.
THE PATH UNDOUBTEDLY CLEAR
It la Declared at Omaha that Hoi ace 8

Chicago, Dec. 1. This morning'
Tribune says: " - ?
. Well-defined rumors are in circulation
here that Receiver Clark has positively
declined to accept the presidency of tp
Union Pacific on account of ill health
It has been practically decided tbatE
W. Winter, late president of the North
ern Pacific, will fill the place heretofore
held by Clark.
The actual head of the corporation, it
is said, will be Marvin Hughitt, presi
dent of the Chicago & Northwestern
who is to become chairman of the board
of directors of the Union Pacific,
An Omaha Rnmor.
Omaha, Dec. 1. There has been
great deal of talk about the probability
of tbe election of Horace G. Burt, vice-
president of -the Northwestern, to the
Union Pacific presidency. Those who
predict Burt's election argue that Presi
dent Hughitt, of the Northwestern
wants to take care of H. C. McCalloch
general trafic manager of. the North
western, bv making him third vice-
president to succeed Burt.
Later It has just developed that
Horace Burt has opened an office here
in the same building with tbe Elkhorn
offices, but on the other floor, and is
there ensconced with private secretary
and clerks.
Confirmed by Clark. ,
St. Louis, Dec. 1. S. H. H. Clark
one of the receivers of the Union Pacific,
today announced that he had been-of
fered tbe presidency of that company by
the reorganization committee,but owing
to ill health he bad refueed to accept
the position.
NAVAL VESSELS WILL GO SOOTH
United States Flag; to be Seen In West
Indian Waters.
Washington, Dec. 1. In the opinion
of tbe administration the time is now
ripe for a renewal of the practice of hav
ing the United States navy represented
in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and
tbe Caribbean Sea. For several years
past, save an occasional cruiser sent
with all haste on her way to or from the
South Atlantic stations, not a vessel of
the navy has been beyond the waters of
Florida, for the reason that the presence
of the United States war vessels in the
neighborhood of the Spanish Antilles
might have served to create an erroneous
impression as to the attitude of tbe
United States toward - tbe Cuban
insurgents and tended to complicate
matters between tbe United States and
Spain at a time when it was desirable
that no ' outside influences should be
brought into play.

go to Navassa to look after the condition
of United States citizens working on
that island.
Nothing has been heard from there
for some time, and it is deeded proper
to inquire' into the allegations of ill
treatment and abuses of the workinginen
there.
While engaged in this inspection the
Marblehead will make hear headquar
ters at Port au Prince, on the west coast
of Hayti, and will be charged with the
protection of American interests gene
rally in that section of the Weet lodes.
The Wilmington is also to be sent
southward, bat she will first be docked
and overhauled. After a stay in tropic
al waters she will continue on to the
South Atlantic station.
The gunboat Annapolis, now trans
formed into a training ship, is slated for
a trip Into tbe Gulf during the winter
with a number of naval' apprentices on
board.
LUETGEBT'S SECOND TRIAL.
Slow Progress Made in the Work
of
Bmpannellng; a Jury.
Chicago, Dec. 1. The examination of
talesmen in the Luetgert case today was
marked by many conflicts between As
sistant States Attorney McEwen and At
torney Harmon, for the defense. The
judge was required to interfere frequent
ly. Four jurors were sworn in yesterday,
and up to that time thirty-eight venire
men had been ealled into the jury-box
and found disqualified to serve. One ve
nireman, a fashion plate publisher, Jo
seph W. Phillips, proved satisfactory to
the attorneys on both sides of the case,
but Luetgert objected to him because he
was for nine years chief clerk of police
in Northumberland county, England
The jurors chosen were George K
Berlin, a restaurant-keeper; Frank
Hoffman, an Electrical engineer ; Thom
as S.Gardner, a furniture dealer; Tbos,
II. Bachellor, an insurance solicitor,
In Behalf of Starving; Cnba.
New Yobk, Dec. 1. President McKin-
ley is considering the ' best method of
placing before the charitable citizens of
the United States on appeal for food to
relieve destitution in Cuba.
According to tbe Washington corre
spondent of the World the Spanish min
ister has informally conveyed the infor
mation to this government that any
contribution which will be made will be
welcomed. In view of this it is expect
ed that within a few days Consul-Gen
eral Lee will be authorized to take charge
of the supplies donated by the citizens
of the United States.
The administration hopes a general
relief movement will be started in this
country. In such an event steps will be
taken to have the supplies admitted
without th payment of duty.

CLEAR AND CONCISE
McKinley's Coming Message
to be Unique.
ITS SCOPE IS NOT VERRY WIDE
Adoption of Gage's Flan, Annexation of
Hawaii, and Noninterference
in Cnba Advised.
' Washington, Dec. 2.- The message of
President McKinley will be devoted
practically to the subject of foreign re
lations and the currency problem. It will
be unique in one respect, in that it ig
nores the great Dulk of matter usually
constituting tbe departmental portion of
presidential annual messages.
While the details of the currency plan
are not definitely known, they can be
stated to be in the main an incorpora
tion of the views submitted by Secretary
Gage.
A strong presentation of tbe Hawaiian
question is made, and congress is urged
to take immediate action - toward rati
fication of tbe proposed annexation
treaty.
As to Cuba, the message reaches the
virtual conclusion that existing circum
stances do not warrant interference in
the affairs of the island. .
The Alaskan problem is discussed at
some length, and a plan is laid for ex
tensive occupation of the public lands
and grants of right of way for roads by
which all parts ot the country maybe
made more accessible. . "

only a question of a short time. The
