An Infernal Machine Sent
to the Kaiser.
It Was Similar to the One
Sent to Caprivi.
The French Government Will Help
to Ferret Out the Sender.
Dynamiting Episodes Discussed ta th*

Foreign News.
By tbe Associated Press.
Berlin, Nov. 28.— It now appears tbat
Emperor William, last Sunday received
an infernal machine from Orleans, simi
lar to tbe one sent to Caprivi. It was
accompanied by a letter. Both were
delivered at the emperor's civil cabinet,
where its nature waa discovered and it
was rendered harmless.
Tbe letter which accompanied the
infernal machine sent to Caprivi, read:
"1 bave the honor to forward you sam
ples of an astonishing kind of radish
seed, usually sown in December and
gathered in February. This kind is not
affected by frost. Receive, sir, the
assurance of my perfect consideration,
(Signed) "G. Dochanteibs,
"17 Rue Bontlong, Orleans."
Tbe letter sent to Emperor William
with tbe infernal machine bad the same
contents as the one addreseed to Ca
privi. Tbe supposition that the sending
of the two infernal machines was tbe
work of a crank is now abandoned, and
it is believed tbe attempts upon tbe life
of tbe emperor and the chancellor were
due to Chauvinists, disappointed at the
elo'V work of the Franco Russian en
tente, and who decided to take revenge
in their own hands.
The machine sent to tbe emperor waß
contained in a wooden box similar to
those used for dominos. At one end of
the box, near the bottom, was fixed a
brass case filled with nitro-glycerine.
The explosive was concealed thiough an
aperture in tbe bottom, with an ordi
nary percussion cap. The box was filled
in with loose gunpowder. As tbe ap
pearance of the box excited suspicion it
was hatided over to the chief of police
who bad it opened by a gunsmith.
The emperor has not yet been in
formed of the receipt of either infernal
machine. Tbe French government has
promised the utmost asaiataiice in trac
ing.the author of the attempted out
rage, who is as yet utterly unknown.

London, Nov. 28. —Giadatone, in the
commons today, said the government
bad no information regarding any pro
ceedings on the part of Russia to ac
quire a naval station in the Mediterra
nean.
Home Secretary Asquitb, replying to
a question, Baid no doubt an attempt
bad been made to cause a dynamite ex
plosion in Dublin, but be was unable to
say whether there waa any connection
between tbe murdered man Used, yes
terday evening, and the dynamite plot,
aB tbe police of Dublin thought it inad
visable to make further statements upon
the subject at present.
Sydney Buxton, parliamentary secre
tary of tbe colonial office, said Lord
Aberdeen, governor-general of Canada,
telegraphed that tbe attempt to blow up
the Nelson monument in Montreal was
the freak of three excitable lads, and
that tbe outrage was a subject of dis
approval on the part of the entire
French and English press of Canada.
Henry Asquith, home secretary, ques
tioned with regard to prohibiting an
archists from ueing Trafalgar square as
a meeting place, said he was convinced
that tbe purposes of this group were un
lawful, but bis decision bad nothing to
do with the Trafalgar square meeting
which would bave been unlawful any
way. _

Zanardelli this afternoon to form a

Tbe king, in announcing tbe accept
ance of the resignation of tbe Giolitti
cabinet, accompanied it with tbe an
nouncement that Zanardelli had under
taken to form a new one.
Signor Zanardelli conferred today

istry.
Tbe Italia says that Signor Crispi will
be chosen president of tbe chamber of
deputies.
THE FRENCH CRISIS.
Carnot Can Get No One to Form a New
Cabinet.
Paris, Nov. 28.—President Carnot
summoned Raynal, leader ot ihe Mod

Raynal declined to undertake the
task and suggested Casimir Perier,
whom the president summoned.
On receiving M. Carnot'a Bummoni,
M. Caeimir Perier proceeded to the
president's residence. So uncompromis
ing was he in his objections to accepting
the premiership that President Carnot
did not press him further, and the con
ference waß confined to a discussion of
the situation.
Later in the evening President Carnot
held consultations with M. Develle aud
M. Dupuy, nud will probably aeeM.Oal

Spring kield, Mass., Nov. 28. — A
special from Ithaca, N. V,, to the Union
says: Much excitement haa been caused
over the report that Dr. L. S. Merriaia
and Miss Mary L. Yeargin, supposed to
have been drowned in Lake Cayuga,
November 18th, were in New York city,
and that the doctor had written a friend
in Ithica last Friday informing him of
bis whereabouts. The report is said to
have been started by a letter carrier who
delivered the letter to the owner. The
letter carrier firmly denies the story.
Every day Bince the two young people
disappeared tbe lake haa been dragged
by competent boatmen. The finding of
the doctor's overcoat has created com
ment. The coat, together with Mieß
Yeargin's gloves, were found on tbe
bank of the lake quite dry. The boat
was near by, partly filled with water.
There are some that are inclined to be
lieve the story tbat Dr. Merriam and
Mies Yeargin are still alive, and more
important disclosures are looked for.

London, Nov. 28. —In court today the
expected sensational suit of Seaton ver
sus the estate of the late Abingdon

that an arraugement waa made satisfac
tory to both parties. The proceedings
then closed. Among those noticed in

received the news of the settlement, it
may be presumed tbe terma were not
unsatisfactory to her.

Fresno, Cal., Nov. 28.—The work of
securing a jury to try Cbria Evans waa
finished thia afternoon. Twenty tales
men were examined during the day and
the four needed jurymen secured. The
jury ia considered an exceptionally fine
one. After tbe examination of tbe first
taleamnn this morning, two of I.vans'
children came into the court room and
ran up to him and kissed him, then one
took a aeat on tbe mother's lap and tbe
other pulled a chair up and sat down

sel. He first described tbe fight at
Voting's cabin, stating tbat tbe officers,
among whom was Vie Wilson, for whose
murder Evans ia being tried, were com
ing down tbe trail. They did not sus
pect tbey were in danger of an attack
and were totally unprepared. After
telling how Evans and Sontag began the
hostilities that resulted in the murder
of Wilson and Andy McGinnis, Attor
ney Tupper described the train robbery
at Collie by Evans and Sontag and tbe
murder by the Bame persons of Oscar
Beaver at Viealia. Having established
the connection of the defendant with
these crimes, the speaker claimed the
officers were in pursuit of their duty
when ambushed and fonlly murdered
by the deiendant and hie partner, John
Sontag. The taking of testimony will
begin in tbe morning.
A WILLING WITNESS.
Seueatlonal Testimony ln the Smuggling
Can* at Portland.
Portland, Ore., Nov. 28. —In the
smuggling case, the principal witness
called by the government thia afternoon,
was Nathan Blum, a stockholder in tbe
Merchants' Steamship company. Blum
yesterday pleaded guilty to smuggling
opium, and it is understood that tbe
prosecution is relying on bis testimony
principally to secure a conviction of the
others. Blum proved to be a very will
ing witness and gave his testimony in a
bravado manner. He testified tbat from
March, 1892, to March, 1893, his com
pany smuggled from seven to nine tone
of opium into this port, Valued at about
$200,000. He went into details, showing
that while his company wbb ostensibly
doing a wholesale grocery and shipping
business, their main source of revenue
wee from smuggling opium, which was
disposed of in tbia city and San Fran
cisco.
Blum, W. B. Jacklingand Major John
Wilson, of Victoria, B. C, it appears
from the testimony, bought all tbe
opium in Victoria and Vancouver, B. C,
and they put it aboard Bteamers for this
port. The drug was usually shipped in
barrels, and when tbe steamer reached
the Columbia river, a few miles from
the city, the opium was thrown over
board and picked up by men in email
boats, who bad been sent to await tbe
steamer's arrival.

Santa Barbara, Nov. 28.—The
Olympia made her third unsuccessful
attempt to make an official trial trip in
the channel this morning. As yester
day, fog was the cause of the failure.
Early in the day tho sky waß clear in
all directions, and the cruiser got up
steam to go over the course. After
taking a 110-mile warming up spin down
the coast, she returned and, just as she
was about to cross the line a bank of fog
was encountered, shutting out tbe
beacons. The Olympia then came into
the harbor. Mr. Scott says that the
coal supply is about exhausted and sbo
will have to go to San Francisco to re
coal. He is much pleased with the
cruiser, and when the Olvrcpia returns
in 10 days ho says the puMic can look
for still greater speed than that already
attained. She will reach San Francisco
Wednesday morning.

WANAMAKER AT FAULT.
POSTMASTER-GENERAL BISSELL'S
ANNUAL REPORT.
He Kinds That Hia Predecessor Erred
Greatly In Hia Calculations- A Big
Deliclt In the Postal
Ke venues.
Washington, Nov. 28.—The postmas
ter-general's annual report shows that
the deficiency for the year ended June
30, 1893, was $5,177,171, instead of
$1,552,423, as estimated by Wanamaker.
Instead of a surplus there will be a de
ficit of $7,830,000 the current year. It
ie estimated the gross revenue for the
year ending June 30, 1895, will be $84,
--427,748; expenditures, $90,399,485. The
deficit will be decreased a million and a
quarter by the fund taken from the un
paid money order account.
There are 610 free delivery offices. The
extension of tbe free delivery in towns
of 900 to 4000 would require an addi
tional outlay of $10,000,000.
The report suggeats that postal notes
be abolished and the charge for money
orders reduced.
Tbe requirements for the railway mail
service will call for an increase of 6000
to 7000 men. Tbe report recommends
an appropriation to provide for the
widows and orphans of railway mail
clerks killed on duty.
The department last year carried 301,
--000,000 pounds of second-class matter, au
increase of 14 per cent.
Tbe sale of Columbian postage stamps
is only $1,000,000, instead of $2,500,000
aB estimated by Wanamaaer.
The post master-general thinks no pos
itive advantages bave occurred Irom tbe
ocean mail subsidy, and therefore no
new contracts bave been entered into.
Ho recommends that 10 of the largest
post offices, including San Francisco,
which yield one-third of tbe total post
age revenue, be put in a class by them
selves, and appropriations made for
them by congress, without the interven
tion of the rules applicable to other
post offices.
The world's fair post office receipts for
six months were $64,388, equal to the
postal business of a city of 80,000 inhab
itants.
The postal earnings of tbe Pacific rail
roads were $1,617,845.

bodies in a vat near Graceland ceme
tery. An investigation developed tbe
fact tbat there waa a large tank at the

said when a Chinaman dies his country
men dump him into a vat, boil tbe body
until it reaches a certain consistency,
then ship it to China.

By the Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. 28.—The cabinet
meeting today waa a !ong one, lasting
about tHree hours. All the members,
except Secretary Smith, were present.
Tbe president's message waß the main
subject under discussion. The president
expects to have the message ready to
send in Monday noon. This afternoon
be waa preparing tbe portion relative to
the civil service, and sent for Commis
sioners Roosevelt and Lyman to discuss
the subject. The message is expected
to be a lengthy document.
THE NEW TARIFF SYSTEM.
The ways and means committee will
tomorrow devote attention to the inter
nal revenue Bchedule of the new tariff
system. Tomorrow Messrs. McMillin,
Bryan and members of tbe sub-commit
tee on internal revenue, will meet and
begin the formulation of tbe internal
revenue and income tax provisions. The
income tax schedule will involve con
siderable labor. It still appears tbat
the increase of the whisky tax, if any
be made, will not exceed 10 cents per
gallon, and the changes in tbe tobacco
schedule will be very slight. The whole
income tax question has been opened up
anew, and it is now possible tbat the
tax may be of such n character aa to
include all individual incomes of $500
per annum and over.
REPUBLICANS PREI'ABINO TO FIGHT.
The Republicans are already prepar
ing for a vigorous fight on the new tariff
bill. A circular letter is now being sent
by thousands, signed by Justice, Bate
man & Co. of Philadelphia, wool com
mission merchants, asking that certain
data be sent td J. C. Burrows, a Repub
lican member of tbe ways and means
committee, in regard to tbe wool ques
tion.
i The Detaowats are figuring that the
deficit caused by the new tariff bill will
not exceed $;>5,000,000.
BILL MORRISON SATISFIED.
William K. Morrison, chairman of tbe
interstate commerce commission, said
be did not like to talk on the Wilson
tariff bill. It had not yet been shown
where the money was coming from, and
tbat would be important in considering
the measure.
"1 ought to be satisfied with tbe
woolen schedule," added Morrison," as
it was my bill which first placed wool
on the true hat, and I have been an ad
vocate of it ever since."
HARRISON REFUSES TO TALK.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 28.—Ex-Pres
ident Harrison was asked tonight for a
statement of opinion on tbe new Wilson
tariff bill, but declined positively, hav
ing as yet only cursorily examined it.
Being asked if it was as strong in its re
ductions as be bad anticipated, he ac
knowledged that it might bave been
Btronger, implying that the reductions
were not so great as he had anticipated.
HATTERS m? IN ARMS.
Orange, N. J., Nov. 2S.—The manu
facturing hatters say the new tariff
would force them out of the business.
Six weeka ago a committee of manufac
turers was before Ihe Wilson committee.
This afternoon they started for Wash
ington again, and will fight the passage
of the act in every way. They will
probably remain in Washington nntil
the bill has been disposed 01.
FRENCH COMMENT.
Paris, Nov. 2S. —The Kepnblique
Francaise (newspaper), commenting on
the new American tariff hill, says:
"The tariff innovations proposed by the
bill are admirably balanced. It is as
imprudent to isolate one's self as to de
liver native producers over to an over
whelming competition. A little bigger
reduction in woolen, cotton, leather and
silk goods would have been desirable,
but the reductions propoeed will be a
sensible improvement lor oar in
dustries."
Tbe Journal dec, Debats hopes, thanks
to the energy and courage of which Mr.
Cleveland has given so many proofs,
that matters of public interest will now
receive attention aud the McKiuleyites
be finally dcieated.
British ormioN.
London, Nov. 23.—The St. James Ga
zette admits thai the new tariff bill
shows signs tbat Cleveland ia prepared
to fulfill his promise, and that, there is
no question that it will prov? *. great
relief to trade. It adds: "Although in
the bill care is taken to leave the Amer
ican producer with the difference of
duty in his favor, full freedom ia given
only where no competition is feared.
It ia better than McKinlsy'a Chinese
wall, but will leave the foreign trading
with the United States at uo small dis
advantage. Still the bust we can aay
for it is that It is preierable to the pure
ly obstructive thing which it is designed
