DEATH OF EUGENE , FIELD. i Resolutions Adopted at a Memorial . Meeting in Chicago. , Chicago, Nov. 7. At the memorial meeting in memory of Eugene Field, held at the Press Club today, the fol lowing resolutions were adopted: The Press Club of Chicago desires to express sorrow over the death of Eu gene Field. J; His was a nature rich in all those attributes whioh make a man of mark,? compelling universal love and respect' and, admiration. , In the death of Eugene Field, the literary world'has lost a man who in national and international appreciation had at tained the widest distinction.. Posses sed of the highest mental gifts, he was in his personal education - the plainest of men. His perceptions were quick to distinguish between right and wrong in individuals and movements. He was clean, successful, brilliant, a per fect husband and father. His death is not the loss" of his personal friends alone, but of Chicago and the world. He taught the good and taught it fas cinatingly. He. was as brave as the bravest in his opinions, and as gentle as a woman in his allowances toward those with whom he differed'. Eugene Fiild's name will live in the degree in which the people loved him. His love was that which never fails of reciproc ity; his heart went out to all that whioh most appeals to humanity childhood. His name has won a place in every household; a place it will keep as long as children prattle and mothers tell thein tales. " ANOTHER RICH MAN'S GIFT. Pittsburg the Beneficiary ' of Carne gie's Munificence. , Pittsburg, Nov. 7. This was Pitts burg's great day. The proud city not only received the gift of a $1,000,000 library, musio hall and art . gallery, from an equally proud donor, '..Andrew Carnegie, but the pleasing announce ment was -made that Mr. Carnegie would endow the art gallery with $1, 000,000, and also proposed ereoting for the greater Pittsburg free libraries at Duquesne, Carnegie and Homestead. The dedicatory exercises took ' place in the musio hall of the new building, whiehwas paoked to the walls by one of (he most representative gatherings ever seen in the Iron City. On behalf of the board of trustees,. President W. N. Frew made the opening address, in troducing Mr.. ' Carnegie,-who, ; in a brief address.-formally turned over his magnificent gift to the people, de livering the keys into the custody 6f the trustees. In the course of his re marks he stated that he would give $1,000,000 as an endowment fund, to the art gallery, the interest to be used in the purchase of wOrks of art, and that he would also ereot libraries at Carnegie, Duquesne and Homestead.. ... The Ram Katahdin. Washington," Nov; 6. The indica tions are the ram Katahdin will not be rejected, 'notwithstanding her failure to aooomplish all that was required of her in the matter ; of speed.' As the vessel, whioh is- otherwise perfeot, made several hundred horse-power more than she was originally -designed for, it is now quite apparent that the difficulty lies in the peculiar model of the ship, whioh the Bath iron works did not design or alter in any way. They are not pressing for another trial, Relieving that what is possible has been gotten out of the boat As the law nnder which the Katahdin was tmilt imposed no requirement of speed and the only stipulation on that point is oontained In the oontraotj it is prob-' able that Seoretary Herbert may de cide in view of the fact that there was no bid in competition with that of the Bath iron works, to arrange for the ac ceptance of the vessel, with perhaps a slight reduotion in the contract price. Striking Job Printers. Minneapolis, Nov. 6. Union job printers of , Minneapolis struck this morning for 30 cents an hour and nine hours per day. .

DEMOCRATS HAVE" TWO STATES Republicans Ahead in Utah and Ken tucky Mississippi and Virginia ' , Remain Democratic. Washington, Nov. 8. It now appears that the Republican victory ' was even greater than first returns showed. It may extend into Utah and Kentucky, where at present the Republicans lead. This was not only the case as to the state tickets, but to the legislature as well. This insures two new Republi can senators in the next senate, and the defeat of Blaokburn, who will retire in 1897, . of Gibson of Maryland, and Brice of Ohio. The official returns are in 'from, no states, but sufficient is known to tell everything exoepting the exact majority or plurality, as the case may be. In all states this will be swelled, with the possible exoeption of Ohio. The only states Democratic are Virginia and Mississippi. The latest figures given out as to majorities or pluralities were: ''-' ' Massachusetts 63,000 New York 66,935 New Jersey '26,960 Pennsylvania . 169.C6I Maryland ... 19.715 Kentucky , '. 15,000 MIsBtssipj.l j Sj.OiO unio luo.uuo Iowa .,. , , 70,010 Utan 2482 The figures given for Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Iowa are pluralities.

The smoke of the political battle has cleared away, and tonight the leaders of both parties are disoussing the result, and from it are already forming plans for next year's work. The Republican leaders are particularly pleased over the gains of Governor Greenhalge in this city, for they claim it shows that, slowly, but surely, the people are ooming over to their ranks. The Democrats, on the other hand, say they attach no signifi cance to the decreased ' Democratic plurality in the city other than that their candidate was not personally as popular as Russell, the candidate of 1893, and for proof of the assertion point to the faot that the-Deinocraoy gained a senator in Suffolk county, which is practically Boston. The figures of the Associated Press last night placed the plurality con servatively at a little over 63,000, and all of their returns have justified that estimate. - .. ...,--.. The size of the Populist vote in Mas sachusetts will probably be known to morrow. There are indications that there is a falling off. : The question of woman suffrage has been lost sight of, except by those directly interested, but the suffragists claim they . are encour aged, as the vote against them was smaller than they anticipated. Viewed by London Papers. London, Nov. 8. The Times this morning gives over a oolumn to a New York dispatch regarding the election. The other papers have short dispatches on the' subjeot of the Marlborough-Van-derbilt wedding. The Times says of the elections: - "The elections have again surprised Amerioan politicians. ' The Republi cans were victorious beyond all expec tations. The failure' to break Tam many is discouraging. Suoh is the state of Amerioan politics, in the absenoe of any great issue, that it is impossible to predict the re mit of the presidential election. Perhaps the Democrats have the most cause to regret the success of Tammany, for some of Tammany's moral disoredit is bound to fall upon the Democratic party." ': ?."':. The Daily. News says: . "The elec tions are showing remarkably in favor of the Republicans, and the presiden tial seat is all but safe for the Republi can candidate. " ' . The Chronicle (liberal) says: "It is not quite clear that there is no real Democratic revival. We regret, but are not surprised, at the victory in New York. It carries an important moral for our too .extreme temperance friends. The Post (conservative) says: "The general result confirms the opinion that the reaction against the Democrats, which was so conspicuous last November,- is still in operation.'' How the Senate Will Stand. Washington, Nov. 8. As a result of the latest election returns, the Repub licans gain five United States senators two from Utah and one each from Kentucky, Ohio and Maryland and the Democrats lose three senators one eaoh from Maryland, Kentucky and Ohio. None of these changes become effeotive, however, until March 4, 1897, except in the case of the two Utah senators, who will take their seats as soon as chosen. Thereafter the numerical strength of the senate will be: ' : - .. : .." Republicans ... 44 Democrats ; 89 l opnlists 6 Vacant (Delaware) 1 Total : ..... ............88 PROTECTION FOR AMERICANS. The Porte Has Issued Orders Not to In terfere With Their Rights. London, Nov. 7.--A special to the Chronicle from Constantinople says that Americans at Bitlis have wired to Constantinople that they are all living together. This is understood to mean that the wife and ohildren of the Rev. Mr. Cole, who has been distributing relief at Sassoun, have taken refuge with the family of the Rev. George Cusbing Knapp during the massacre. Mudir, at the time of the Moosh trou bles, threatened to wipe out of exist ence the rest of the Sassoun Armenians unless the distribution of supplies to the sufferers was stopped. On acoount of protests from England and America, however, Kiamil Pasha, the grand vizier, wired instruction to Mudir or dering him not to interfere with the Americans engaged in the distribution of relief. . . - The correspondent of the Times says that the Turkish reports accusing Ar menians of attacking the mosques are ridnoulous and made in order to en venom the Mohammedans toward the Armenians. One embsasy has news that the Kurds were the aggressors at Dirrbeokir and ruthlessly slaughtered the Armenians, women and ohildren, and burned and pillaged the shops. The correspondent says: "The massacre began on Friday and oontinued through Saturday and Sun day with unsatiable and sanguinary ferocity. ' . These bloody soenes are the direct consequence of the sultan's eva siveness and are likely to provoke the European intervention, when it will be found that all the powers are in agree ment. , . "The composition of the board of control of Armenian reforms greatly disgusts Kiamil Pasha, who is more than ever anxious to retire.' The presi dent of the board is a palace creature, against whom the Christian members will be powerless.'! . The Paris correspondent of the Times says the young Turkish party has issued a manifesto appealing for assistance to enlightened - Europeans in their peaceful effort to gain a constitution for Turkey. ' The Powers Ready to Act. Rome, Nov. 7. A dispatch received from Constantinople says that owing to the recurring disturbances in vari ous parts of the Turkish empire, the ambassadors of the powers went to the porte separately today and urged that immediate measures for the restoration of order be taken, declaring that other wise 1 the powers aoting in concert would take their own steps in the mat ter. It is added that the ambassadors also requested the Turkish 'min ister for foreign affairs to state what the porte intends to do to terminate the present state of anarchy. . The Report Confirmed. ' London, , Nov. 7. A Vienna dis patch to the Times confirms the report from Rome as to the visits made separ ately to the sultan by the ambassadors of the different powers by announcing that Austria-Hungary, Germany and Italy have now identified themselves with the other powers by demanding the right to be placed in control and to be acquainted with the porte 's inten tions.. The Marriage Settlements. New York, Nov. 7. All parties di- reotly interested in the marriage set tlement of Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, met at the residenoe of Mrs. Vander; bilt, East Seventy-second street, today.' The Blenheim deeds, whioh date from the reign of Queen Anne, were handed to Mr. .- Vanderbilt' s lawyer, to be copied and a memorandum of the bride's settlement was read and com mented upon. All information on the subject of the settlement was refused, but it is said around the hocel corridors that the yearly income Vanderbilt has settled upon his daughter exoeeds $256,000. ANOTHER BIG STRIKE Threatened by the American Railway Union. ON GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY 'Trouble Is Reported at Different Points Along the Line From Mlnne sota to Washington. St. Paul, Nov. 6. In the great strike of the Amerioan Railway Union on the Great , Northern , railway eighteen months ago, the start was almost ex aotly similar to what is claimed to be a new strikeat this time. Then, as now, the officials of the road united, up to the time when the road was final ly tied up, in asserting that there was no strike and no cause for one. Then, as now, the men went out at various points along the line in a somewhat Mattering manner. Just what may be the outcome, it is difficult to say, but that there will be at least some trouble seems now assured in view of reports from along the line today. In favor of the oompany was the action of the en gineers and firemen on the Montana Central, fifty-six out of sixty on that branch voting in favor of a commum cation to the Great Northern officials that they had no grievance and ' that they protested against any new schedule in which the Amerioan Railway Union was oonoerned. : -. The conductors of the entire system are acting today in line with the com pany, their vote being taken - almost without opposition in favor of a - some what similar statement to be presented to the offioials. It is stated that other brotherhoods are about to take similar aotion. In the way of trouble, three or four went out at St. Cloud, but trains are in no way affected. At that point, it was thought necessary to plaoe watchmen on the new bridge for protection. At Devil s Lake, it was reported to night that it had been decided to strike at midnight As that was one of the points where there was trouble of a somewhat riotous oharacter in the for mer strike, the city council met there today and decided to do all in its power to protect the property of the railroad and to suppress any ..incipient riots. , . Out in Montana, trouble was report ed at several points. At Havre, the wires were out and orders for three divisions that center there were inter fered with. It is understood several arrests followed, though no definite in formation oan be given. At Columbia Falls, near Kalispell, an unsuccessful attempt was made to burn the Great Northern bridge. A meeting of the St. Paul Amerioan Railway Union lodge was held tonight and a large number of new members admitted, but it is not known what aotion, if any, was taken on the threat ened strike situation. s Loss of the Crystal. Tacoma, Nov. 8. The steamer To peka, arriving tonight from Alaska, brought down Captain Nick Lawson and three of the crew of the sohooner Crystal, which was wrecked September 31 at Yakutat bay. All are well and glad to get back. The sixty-flve-ton schooner was run into the bay to escape from a terrific gale whioh was blowing utside.. Her anchor dragged and she tried to sail outi but could not, " being dashed against the rooky beach and a large hole was stove in her port bow. Her orew of five men' and seven pas sengers were thrown out into the wa ter, but all escaped. Mate Thomas Smith was left at Yakutat bay to save the schooner if he could. She oost (3,000 to build. She had aboard a oargo of codfish worth $ 3,000, whioh will be a total loss. , Jack Brady's Trial. Marysville, Cal., Nov. 6. The trial ef Henry Williams, alias Jaok Brady, the trainrobber, oharged with the mur derof Sheriff J. J. Bogart, of Tehama oounty last April, began today. Dur ing the day five jurors were selected. This was considered a good day's work, as it was generally understood that it would be difficult to secure a jury at alL The defendant is representd by Attoney Carlin and Forbes, and Dis trict Attorney McDaniel is assisted by L. V. Hitchcock, of Red Bluff, who has been employed by Sheriff A. J. Bogart, the murdered man's brother and successor. If the seleotion of jurors proceeds aa favorably as to day, the taking of testimony will begin Wednes day. . On the Navy Retired List. Washington, Nov. 6. Lieutenants D. L. Wilson, N. J. Halpine, Houston Eldridge and Chief Engineer E. A. Morse have been placed on the retired list of the navy. The following pro motions in the navy have been -made by the president: Commodore S. O. Selfridge to be rear admiral; Com mander Francis A. Cook to be captain: Lieutenant Frederick Singer to be lieutenant-commander; Ensigns S. H. Jones and W. O. Hulme to be lieu tenants; Surgeon Dwight Dixon to be medical inspector, and Assistant Engi neers A. S. Halstead and W. B. x Day to be past assistant engineers. - BOUGHT BY ASTOR. Papers Being Drawn for a Transfer of - the Rights of the Keeley Patents. ; New ; York, Nov. 7. The Herald says: Papers are now being drawn for a transfer to John Jacob Astor of all the rights, interests and stock of Mrs. Bioomfield Moore in the Keeley Motor Company, and the -inventions of John W. Keeley, of Philadelphia, whose supposed discoveries in physics have been talked of for twenty years all over the world and have been de olared by - some engineering experts and scientific men to denote the devel opment of a new force. This force is said to be as much more marvelous than electricity as eleotrioity is more wonderful than steam and compressed air. Other authorities have vehe mently denounoed it as a fraud. The stock of the Keeley Motor Com pany is very largely owned in New York city. The oompany was incor porated under the laws of Pennsylva nia. From time to time new develop ments have suggested an inorease in the capital stock, and Mr. Keeley pro posed not long ago that it be enlarged to 350,000 shares, 100,000 of which were to go to . him. This reorganiza tion is now being arranged, and what ever shares Mrs. Moore acquires under it will go to Mr. Astor, when the in crease is effected, if pending arrange ments between Astor and Mrs. Moore are consummated. Mrs. Moore is . a heavy investor in the original Keeley motor stock. IMPORTANT ELECTRIC SUIT. . Brush Company Against the) Western Manufacturing Company. - Chicago, Nov. 7. One of the most important electric suits pending will come up for final hearing before the United States court of appeals during its present session, probably next Wednesday or Thursday., The suit is between the Brush Electric Company, of Cleveland, and the Western Electric Manufacturing Company of this city, and involves the double oarbon lamp. The Brash company claims the patent on the oarbon arc lamp of familar use. The patent has only a year to run, but the value placed on it is evinced in the suit, the evidence in whioh is said to have oost the Brush oompany $150,000 to prepare. The latter company's claims to the exclusive manufacturing right of the lamp, it appears, have not been admitted by ' numerous electrical manufacturing companies, about twen ty of whioh the Brush has sued for in fringement. Its suit - against the Western Eleotrio was made for test of the whole question. The latter 1 suit was tried in May before Judge Sho walter and decision rendered in favor of the Western Electric The Brush oompany took an appeal and this issue will be heard. ' In the present case $150,000 is involved, but the payments of large amounts by the other compa nies in accounting is dependent, upon it, if the judgment of the lower court be reversed. The sum total of these aggregates $3,000,000. For the Chinese Trade. Taooma, Nov. 6.-rShipping men say the San Francisoo lines will not win the trans-Paoiflo Chinese . passenger trade by fitting out the steamship Evandale to carry Chinese exclusively. One of them says: ', 4 "The Northern lines have secured a good hold on the trans-Paoiflo business. The San Francisoo lines cannot com pete with the Northern Pacifio line. The Northern Pacifio line has a much shorter route. It runs regular steam ers at much less expense than the San Francisoo companies oan operate theirs. The Evandale has no side windows, and all the light to be had will have to come through the hatches. The steamer would have to be rigged up with rough board bunks to make a profit on the trade, and the cute Chi nese would not patronize that kind of an arrangement. Ecuador's Mew Ministry. . New York, Nov. 7. A Herald cor respondent in Guayaquil says: The new ministry is as follows: De partment of interoior, Jose Luis Ta mayo; foreign affairs, Ignaoio Robles; finanoe, Lizardo Garcia; war, General Morales; public works, Davio Moria; publio instruotion, Victor GovOtena.

A big gas deal was concluded this afternon in Brook lyn, when the seven oity gas companies consolidated their interests. The seven oompanies have a total capital of $13, 000,000. The name of the new cor poration will be the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, and the proposed capi tal is $30,000,000. , Reorganizing the Chinese Army. Berlin, Nov. 6. The Vossiohe Zei tung today, says that Colonel Von Han nekin, the German officer who was military assistant to Viceroy Li Hung Chang, has arrived in this- city ifrom China, charged with a speoial mission, and fully empowered to arrange for the reorganization of the Chinese army on the Russian,- Frenoh and German model. DORR ANT IS CONVICTED Will Pay the Death Penalty for His Horrible Crime. : THE VERDICT WILDLY CHEERED It Took the Jury but Twenty Minutes .to Render a Verdict of Murder in the First Degree. San Francisoo, Nov. 4. Theodore Durrant, assistant superintendent of the Emanuel Baptist ohuroh Sunday school, was today oonvicted of the mur der of Blanohe Lamont, for which he has been on trial since July 33 last. The jury was out 20 minutes, and ar rived at the verdiot on the first ballot. As there was no recommendation of . mercy, the punishment was fixed at death. . It was exactly 31 minutes from the time the jury left the oourtroom to the time the verdiot was announeed, but that time was all taken up in delibera tion. In fact, there was no delibera tion at . alL The jury had evidently decided upon a verdiot before they left the box. It was 8:84 when they filed out of the courtroom into the grand jury room whioh had been placed at their disposal. It took the twelve men until 8:50 o'clock before they settled themselves comfortably, and at 8:55 a knock on the- door announced to the anxious waiters that a verdict had been found. It took just five minutes of actual time to elect a foreman and take one ballot necessary.' The scene in the courtroom when the verdict was announced will never be forgotten by those who were present Judge Murphy finished his charge at -8:30, and the jury at once retired. Al though there was supposed to be little prospect of a verdict being returned be fore 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, the throng of spectators, who had remained in the overorowded courtroom all the afternoon to hear the judge's charge, settled themselves back in their seats to await the return of the jury. Mrs. Durrant and the prisoner talked and laughed together as if an acquittal were a foregone oonolusion. They were joined -by half a dozen friends, and the conversation was becoming animated, when it became whispered about that the jury had agreed upon a verdict. " In an instant a hush fell upon the little circle that had gathered around the prisoner. Durrant's f aoe, always pale, assumed a ghastly hue, and his mother was speechless. Then the big doors at the rear of the room opened, and the members of the jury filed in and took their seats in the box. In the intense exoitement which fol- lowed, the room, although it was filled t to its utmost capacity, was almost as quiet as if it had been vacant. - Judge Murphy, who had retired to his cham bers, was summoned, and took his place upon the bench. Clerk Morris asked the usual question as to whether the jury had agreed upon a verdiot. Foreman Warren Dutton arose and re plied in the affirmative, saying: "We, the jury, find the defendant, William Henry Theodore Durrant, guilty of murder in the first degree. " As tne aged xoreman, pale ana trem bling, read the words whioh fixed Dur rant's fate, a low rumbling noise like the roar of mob arose from the, rear -of the oourtroom. The next moment men - were cheering ' wildly, while women hysterically wept in their ex- N oitement. The baliff rapped loudly for order, but the tumult continued ' for a minute before anything like quiet " could be brought out of ''the disorder. Then District Attoney Barnes arose and asked that a day be set upon whioh the sentence of death should be passed upon the prisoner. Judge Murphy . said that sentence would be passed next Friday, upon whioh day he would also set the day for the trial of Durrant on the charge of murdering Minnie Williams.-. PRISONERS RELEASED. A Touching Scene at the Battle of Tardlo OJo de Agua. Havana, Nov. 6. Details have been reoeived from Cienfuegos regarding the release of the . Spanish soldiers who were captured yesterday by the insur gents in the engagements fought at Tardio Ojo de Agua. In the encounter sixty-four Spanish soldiers made a gal lant stand aganist the 1,200 insurgents. The soldiers were commanded by Colo nel Valle, Major Sanohez and Captains Navarro and Rio,' who were among those captured and released by Rego, the insurgent leader. The latter, was the first to greet the Spanish offioers and, embracing Colonel Valle he said: Return to your comrades, heroes. - You are an honor to the Spanish na tion, and I am proud of being able to boast of descending from such people. Then ensued a touching moment, during whioh the Spaniards and Cu bans embraced each other and bid eaoh other farewell. The Spanish soldiers, nearly all of whom were injured, were well cared for while in the hands of the insurgents, and ate at the same table as Rego. The action of the Cu bans has caused no little good feeling tovrard them. i I J ''-iife.
