VOL. XXV.— NO. ?21. CANADIANS IN A FLUTTER Fear the United States Will Place a Duty of $1 on Their Sawn Lumber MEASURE AS A REPRISAL Because Canadian Government Placed an Embargo on the Export of Pulp Wood LAURIER WOULD PLACATE THE AMERICAN PULP MEN Pulp Mills on the Northern Border of the United States Suffer, Being Largely Dependent Upon Canada for Wood —Premier May Go to Wash ington to Discuss the Matter. TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 16.—Canadian lumbermen who are in touch with what is going on at Washington and in Canadian government circles are alarmed over the rumor that a duty of $4 per thousand feet will be levied on Canadian sawn lumber entering the United States. It is said that the measure is in tended as a reprisal for the action of the provincial governments of Ontario and Quebec in placing an embargo on the export of pulp wood. A number of pulp mills on the northern borders of the United States were dependent largely on Canada for pulp wood, and these have suffered by the embargo. No effective reprisal can be taken in connection with the pulp industry, so that an effort, it is alleged, is on foot to strike at Canada through the sawn lumber industry. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is anxious that the governments of both Ontario and Quebec should take some step that will mitigate the alleged grievance of the American pulp men. It is possi ble that on his coming trip to Virginia Sir Wilfrid will discuss the matter with the American government.

RICE LEAGUE OF LAND IS WIDENED BY A SURVEY Important Phase Assumed by the Estate of the Murdered Millionaire. AUSTIN, Tex.. Nov. 16.—Information from Marble Falls, Burnett county, Tex., is to the effect that aside from the Pat rick trial probably nothing connected with the immense estate of the late million aire, William M. Rice, has created more public interest than the recent report of the official survey of the Rice league of land lying to the south of Marble Falls and bordering on the Colorado river. This survey widens the supposed bounds of the league to an enormous extent, and takes in supposed holdings of others.

SOCIALISTS TO FORE BOUND TO ASSERT THEMSELVES IN THE AMERICAN FEDERA TION OF LABOR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL TO BE ENLARGED BY TWO One of the Additional Members Will Probably Be a Representative of the Socialist Wing—The Latter claims It Has Rights as It Controls One-Third of the Votes. NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 16.— There is a strong probability that the executive council of the American Fed eration will be enlarged from nine to eleven members at the present conven tion and that one of the additional members will be a representative of the Socialistic wing of the labor unions. The Socialists claim they control near ly one-third of the votes cast in the convention and feel fairly confident of getting one man on the board. There is also a strong element opposed to an increase in numbers, but the Socialists say they do not expect to win without a fight, but they do expect to have won that much when the fight is over. But two cities have so far entered the race for the place of the next con- vention —Buffalo and Milwaukee. The latter place claims the better right, as it has been a candidate three times and on each occasion has withdrawn in favor of the place in which the con vention was held. However, energet ic work has been done by the advo cates of either city. District of Columbia Should Vote. W. E. Kennedy, general organizer of the International Brotherhood of Elec trical workers, has prepared a resolu tion which he expects will raise a breeze upon the floor of the convention. It is that the present local government of the District of Columbia is antique and obsolete, and the residents of the district should be allowed to vote. The resolution is certain of opposition, as it is the avowed policy of the federation to refrain from political matters. The visiting delegates were hand somely entertained today by the local laboring organizations, who arranged several social affairs for them during the afternoon and secured one of the theaters for them tonight. SERVED IN PRISON ON A FALSE CHARGE Englishman Returns to America After Release From Unmerited In carceration. Special to The Globe. CHARDON, Ohio., Nov. 16.—John P. Davis, aged 50 years, arrived here to day after serving three years and nine months in an English prison on the coast of Wight, on what- he says was a fase charge. Davis left his home here four years ago for a visit to the land of his birth. En route across the At lantic he fell in with confidence men and upon his arrival in England he was arrested and convicted of forgery and sentenced to four years' imprisonment. His friends had not heard from Davis after he left and had given him up for dead, when they received a letter from him last summer. Cleveland men in terested themselves in securing the man's release. Money was forwarded to pay his way home and the attention of the English authorities called to the case, but not until Oct. 31 did the pris on door open for Davis. He lost no time in returning to America. Davis shows the effects of long confinement and his hands bear marks of the hardest kind of work. PRETENDER TO THRONE OF MOROCCO TAKEN Imperial Troops Capture a Gentleman With Nickname Extremely Picturesque. TANGIERS, Morocco, Nov. 16.—Ac cording to a report from Fez, the im perial troops have captured the pre tender to the throne. It is stated that the sultan, at the head of an army of 25,000 men, will direct in person the operations to put down the uprising of the Kabyle tribesmen at Zemour. Previous dispatches announced that the sultan, with the entire Moorish ar my, was to leave Fez on Nov. 10 to sup press the rebellion started by the pre tender. The latter began his mission among- the mogt ignorant and super stitious of the Berber tribes. He at first confined himself to a few conjur ing tricks, but this success encouraged him to attempt bigger things. The pre tender is nicknamed "Bu-Hamare," meaning "Father of a She Ass," be cause he never rode on anything but a small donkey.

RUBINO AN ADVANCED SOCIALIST INDEED Assailant of King Leopold Imbibed An archistic Principles in.London and Has a Criminal Record. ROME, Nov. 16.—The pjinistry of the interior has established the identity of the assailant of King Leoqpold. His name is Gennerro Rubijio, and he is described in their records as an ad vanced socialist. He wias condemned to a long term of imjf isonment for stealing at Milan in 1893, but escaped to England, where he is supposed to have imbibed his anarchistic princi ples. His father was a patriotic communal councillor, but Ru-Mno, while still serv ing in the army, was condemned to five years' detention for writing a sub versive newspaper article. These are the only criminal records that have been found against him. Since leaving Italy he has resided continuously in Scotland and England, first in Glasgow and afterward in London. Some years ago he was accused of treachery by his anarchistic friends and- expelled from their ranks. According to some reports, Rubino, in his examination before the magis trate, declared that he selected King Leopold for his attack on account of his majesty's inhuman conduct toward his daughter, Prfncess Stephanie, at the time of h.er mothers death, and he also wished to show to the anarch ists in London who doubted his loyalty that while they only talked, he acted. He would have killed King Edward, he added, but for the strong - feeling of the English people in vfavor of the monarchy. A dispatch from Rome says: "The pope, King "Victor Emanuel and Premier Zanardelli have sent tele grams of congratulation to the king of the Belgians on his escape from as sassination. It appears that Rubino has a brother who is also ah anarchist. His father fought with distinction in the Italian war for independence." DREADFUL EXPERIENCE OF SHIPWRECKED MEN Sixteen People On a Raft Suffer From Thirst and Hunger arid Three of Them Die. WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Nov. 16. —The eight survivors from the wreck of the British steamer Elanga mite who were rescued on a raft by the British survey steamer penguin, went through a dreadful experience. The raft from which they were taken measured only twelve feet long by sev en feet wide and had sixteen persons on it when it left the wreck. The only food on board was two apples. The first apple was consumed on Tuesday and the second on Wednesday, each being divided into sixteen portions. From Sunday, the day they were wrecked, until Thursday, when they weren rescued, the survivors drifted sixty miles on the Three JQngs Islands, but without success. T^ree men died on Monday night from? drinking salt water. All of the survivors suffered the tortures of thirst, atid four other men and ■ the stewardess died of ex haustion before they were picked up by tlie Penguin. They had a cruel disappointment on Tuesday night. A steamer was sighted in the distance and frantic shouts were raised by those on the raft to attract attention. The steamer lowered a boat, which passed within fifty yards of them, but the boat's crew apparently did not see the raft and returned to their vessel. When the Penguin was sighted only one of the survivors was able to stand and all were terribly-emaciated. Secretary Wilson Ailing. WASHINGTON, D.

FREIGHT COLLIDES WITH TROLLEY CAR Man Killed and a Dozen Men, Women and Children Injured in Chicago. CHICAGO, Nov. 16. —One man was killed and a dozen men, women and children seriously injured in a collision tonight between a Western avenue electric train and a Chicago, Burling ton & Quincy freight train at the Eighteenth street crossing. The motor and trailer which made up the electric train were crowded with passengers and it seems a miracle that so many escaped instant death. Hugh Curran, passenger on street car, was the one killed. Those injured were: Joseph Dedick, side injured and left I leg badly crushed; Mrs. Mary Dedick, both arms broken and body bruised; Joseph Dedick, Jr., left shoulder dis located and scalp wounds; Frank De dick, badly bruised and cut about head and body; Mamie Dedick, face lacerated and body bruised; A. Brown, back injured, condition serious; Frank Gayle, motorman, bruised about head and body; Alex. Langford, conductor of trailer, four ribs broken and severe ly cut and bruised about body; J. E. Morgan, conductor motor car, right leg broken. A mistake of the flagman at the crossing was responsible for the acci dent. The freight train, consisting of forty-two cars and an engine at each end, broke in two as it approached Western avenue. The first portion passed the crossing, and the flagman, not seeing the remaining portion com ing at full speed, half a block away, pulled up the gates and gave the sig nal that the crossing was clear. The electric train, which had been waiting for the freight train, started to cross and was hit squarely by the last half of the train. Both cars were overturned in the ditch by the collision. Several pas sengers noticed the danger in time to jump before the accident happened, but the rest of the passengers were jammed in at the doors unable to get out. When the two trains came to gether the pasengers were thrown in every direction. The flagman and men in charge of the street cars have been arrested. J. H.

BLAZES AND EXPLOSIONS Armour & Co.'s Plant at the Sioux City Stock Yards Entirely Destroyed LOSS IS TOTAL, $900,000 Efforts of Fire Department Are Only As Drops of Rain In the Ocean AMMONIA DRUMS BLOW UP WITH GREAT FORCS Building After Building Melts Away, Streams of Water Seeming Like So Many Rivulets of Oil—Plant Occu pied Over Three Acres of Ground- Six Hundred Men Disemployed. SIOUX CITY, lowa, Nov. 16.—The big plant of Armour & Co., which oc cupied three and one-half acres of ground at the extreme south end of the stock yards district, was totally de stroyed by a fire which started early today on the second floor of the fertil izer building. The loss estimated by Charles W. Lennon, the manager of the company, was total, or $900,000. The cause of the fire was said by Mr. Lennon to have been either sponta neous combustion or an imperfect dri er. There is $721,500 of insurance on the Armour property. Six hundred men will be thrown out of employment all winter by the fire. The fire was discovered by a watch man of the building who a few min utes before had pulled a messenger box on the floor where it started. The flames quickly spread. Every fireman in the city was called out. Six streams cf water were soon being thrown upon the ft^;."."s which were gutting the fer tilizer building, but the pressure was inadequate. Burned Like Chaff. The fertilizer building, which was of brick, 120 by 60 feet, and four stories high, was located between the beef killing house and the Omaha railway on the east. The floor and contents of the build ing burned like chaff. The roof fell in and a minute later the fire burst through the beef killing house. Instan taneously the cattle chute ignited and in five minutes fell with a great crash. From the beef-killing house to the oleo house was only a step and when the lard started to burn the fire pre sented a great spectacular appearance. By the time the big beef house,-where 500 carcasses, nearly dressed, were hanging, caught fire, the whole plant, except the hog house, was a lake of flames. Suddenly there was a terrific explosion, followed quickly by an other. "Those are the ammonia drums," shouted Mr. Lennon to Fire Chief Kel logg. "Tell your men to be careful, there is danger of suffocation." Twenty-Four Drums Explode. Twenty-four drums of one hundred pounds of ammonia each exploded when the reserve supply in the ammonia cistern was reached. That ignition al most razed the entire plant off ita foundation. The flames soon burst through the heavy fire wall which separated the big hog house from the other build ings. The hog house was the last building to the north and the largest of all. Steadily the fire crept against the wind and through the office building, which from the first had been envel oped in flames. A quantity of paper of various kinds was saved out of the office. When the'warehouse caught all streams were turned in that direc tion, but the water seemed like oiL In the building were 3,500 dressed hogs and 2,500,000 pounds of pork produce. All Hope Abandoned. After the fire had obtained a good headway in the hog house all hope of saving any part of the plant was abandoned. The shops, chicken-pack ing plant, ice houses and ice runways and smaller department houses were consumed in quick succession. The efforts of the fire department were as feeble in effect as drops <rf rain in an ocean.- The fire continued to burn all day today and this after noon there was another terrific explo sion, which threw bricks and pieces of iron for hundreds of yards, endan gering thousands of spectators, but no one was seriously hurt. Immediate Rebuilding. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 16.—C. W. . Armour, of the Armour Packing company. ' stated today that the plant at Sioux City destroyed by fire last night, would be re built at once. The company will in the meantime remain in the market, the . cattle purchased to be divided between Kansas City, Chicago and Omaha.
