SUNDAY IN TIT Uli .1 Satisfaction Over the Resig nation of Gladstone. CAUSES OF THE UNPOPULARITY Several Clauses of the JiUHSO-Uer-uia'u Treaty Adopted in the Reiclistair. Associated Press. Berlin, March 3. Although no diplo matic questions have arisen between Kngland an4 the government during the last administration, the news of Glad stone's retirement caused satisfaction here. The German people have never gotten over the resentment occasioned during the Franco-Prussian war by the unfounded allegation that Gladstone en couraged the sale of arms and ammuni tion to the French. In addition, Glad stone Is regarded as an enemy of the drelbund, as responsible for England's Isolation In European politics. A committee of the relchstag toilay adopted the first twelve clauses of the Russo-German commercial treaty, with the exception of clause eight, dealing with Import duties, the discussion of which was deferred. The tirst 18 clauses of the final protocol were also adopted. The debates of the silver commission will be chiefly concerned in four ques tions: v First Ib It probable that the gold production of .the future will suffice to cover the demand for coinage? . Second Have the lack of gold and general depression resulting from Us enhanced value been noticeable In coun tries with a gold currency? Third What influence have silver fluctatlons exercised on the monetary and economic situation aCXlermany?-- Fourth How could the evils or dan gers caused in Germany by the present currency be removed or lessened? Great Interest is taken in the silver commission, and financiers are awaiting the result of the deliberates with great anxiety. ' A DEADLY ENCOUNTER. A Newspaper Article Causes the Death of Three Men. Kosciusko, Miss., March 3. This place was thrown into great excitement to day by a deadly encounter between W P.

Jackson, the newly elected -state representative from this county, in which the latter was killed, Sam Russell, a bystander, received a stray shot In the mouth, killing him in stantly, and Will Sanders, another out sider, was shot through the thigh and will die. Jackson and Ratcliffe met in front of the sheriff's office and a 'lght ensued, in which Ratcliffe got Jackaon down on the floor. A crowd pulled Rat cliffe away, and as Jackson, arose, two shots rang out, one. It Is thought, from Jackson, and one from Ratcliffe, with out effect. Before the men had time to fire again Sheriff Love caught Ratcliffe, The affair grew out of a reply by Jack son In the Kosciusko Star, denouncing Ratcliffe for publishing in his paper that he (Jackson) voted In a caucus at a late meeting of the legislature for a populist for United States senator.

' WEST VIRGINIA RIOTS. Striking Miners Commit Numerous Acts of Lawlessness. Charleston, W. Va., March 3. Late last night Sheriff Gtlman received a telegram from the superintendent of the Chesapeake and Qhio road saying a body of armed strikers at Coalburg, 10 miles from here, threatened to tear up the tracks and burn the bridges. The sheriff at once left for the scene with a posse, and arrived at Coalbiu'g at 1:30. The new $30,000 bridge between Coal burg and Achlne had been fired and totally destroyed. A body of masked strikers, who did the work, had disap peared. The sheriff left a posse on guard and returned here. Further trouble Is unavoidable. Excitement at Eagle and Powellton Is at fever heaU It Is Just learned that the wires be tween here and Powellton have been cut, and a crisis is feared. A messen ger has been sent to the scene to ascer tain the situation. ;. The wires are cut at several points, so the governor cannot communicate with the. troops at Eagle and Powellton. Railroad officials are co-operating with the governor, carrying messages by rail as far as Cabin Creek, whence they go horseback and will report to the gov ernor as soon as possible.
