THE RUTHERGLEN CREW REFUSED AID BY A HAMBURG STEAMER The Sinking- Sailors Taken 0% by the Norwegian Bark Hcrmnnos and Safely Landsd QUEENSTOWN, Nov. 15.—Particu lars have Just been received of tha wrees of the nrltish steamer Hutherglen,,' ap tain English, front New York, on Octo ber 26th, for Plymouth, which, as cable: exclusively to the Associated Press oi Saturday afternoon last, foundered when 330 miles west of Fastnet. Her crew was picked up by the Norwegian bark Hermanos, nnd reached . Croolt haven. twenty-one miles from Skibber reen, on Saturday. The Hutherglen. it Is ndded. after leav ing New York encountered a series of gales which raised mountainous seas. The eteamer labored so henvily that her cargo shifted, but the crew was able tc right her for a time, until she was thrown upon her beam ends Her cargo shifted again and she Mated so much that her sails, set to steady her. were sometime? submerged. Matters went from bad to worse, until on Tuesday the steamer wos filled with water, when she was sighted by the Hermanns, which vessel immediately headed toward her! It was decided to abandon the liutberglen, and Captain English tried to lower away a life boat. Two life boats were smashed against the steamer's side and washed awny betire any success attended his efforts. The third life boat succeeded In getting away from the steamer, but was stove in and sank .iust as It ran alongside the bark. Happily, all the struggling men were hauled on board the Hermanns and were subsequently, with the rest of the crew, landed al Crookhaven, from which place they were forwarded to this city. The boats of th" Hermunos mude live trips before all tbe members of tlie Hutherglen's crew were rescued. Some Idea of the difficulty of this task may be gathered from the fact that it took nine hours to rescue all of tho} crew of the British steamer. The latter num bered twenty-eight men. , Captain English reports that on Wednesday, after leaving New York, an castbound Hamburg steamer, with v green, white and green funnel, was asked to take off the crew of the Ruth erglnn, but refused even to stop. The Hermanoa was outwnrdbound to Martinique, but she was obliged to put Into CookHaveti In order to land the shipwrecked crew. MANDATE ORDERED To Expedite the Execution of Theo dore Durrant WASHINGTON, Nov. 15—On motion of Assistant Attorney General Anderson the Supreme Court today decided to Issue Immediately a mandate in the Durrant murder case. No representative of Durrant was In court when the motion was made, "i he court, after a hurried consultation on the bench, announced through Chief Justice Fuller that the mandate should be issued forthwith. Mr. Anderson thinks this will settle the matter and hasten Durrant's execu tion. He said he would have made the motion sooner but for the necessity of giving notice to Durrant's counsel. The United States supreme court to day took a recess until Monday, tbe 2S<h Inst. - unknown c TWO CENTS PER MILE THE PRICE OF THE MILEAGE TICKET Sebastian's Invention Expected to Circumvent the Scalpers—lm migrant Matters CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—The Interchange able mileage ticket of the lines in the Western Passenger association was placed on sale today for the first, time. The ticket gives to the purchaser a net rate of two cents per mile and is very simple in it 3 operation. The form of ticket is thut Invented by General Pas senger Agent Sebastian of the Rock Is land road and will, it is supposed, keep the brokers at a safe distance. It Is announced that the arrangements which Chairman Caldwell Is making in New York for the regulation of the Im migrant tralflc will have the effect of disposing of the trouble which has b-> --set the western roads on account of this class of traffic for several years. It is sajd that the chairman will make arrangements that will be satisfactory to the Southern Paeilic ns well as to the toads which are members of the Emi grant clearing house and if this is ac complished it Is not likely that there will be much trouble over the matter In the future. In the past It has been the failure of the western lines to reach an agreement with the Southern Pacific re garding this business that has caused a heavy loss of revenue to both sides of the argument. The matter will be defi nitely arranged by the middle of this week. The lack of freight cars fiom which nearly all of the western roads have suffered recently has caused th? Atchi son to perfect arrangements for the manufacture of nearly all of Its cars nnd the greater part of its locomotives in the future. The work will be done ut the shops In Topeka. SOUTHERN PACIFIC SUITS WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.—1n response to a motion by J. H. Ashton, represent ing the Southern Pacific Railroad com pany, the supreme court of the United States today extended for thirty days the time for issuing its mandate in the case of the railroad company vs. the United States. It is understood to be the purpose of the purpose of the South ern Pacific to enter a motion for a re hearing. THE VALLEY ROAD SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.—The di rectors of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley railroad are now secur ing rights of way for the proposed line from Stockton to Point Richmond. The surveys have been completed from tho Bay terminus to Antloch, and from this place surveys are now being made to de termine whether to cross the Tule lands or go around them as the Southern Pa cific did. Illegal Immigration WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Speclal In spector Baldwin reported to Commissioner General Powderly of the Immigration bu reau that he had arrested at Memphis. Term., twenty-eight of fifty Austrian im migrants recently brought to this country under contract to work in the stave camps of Tennessee and Mississippi. The In spector has warrants signed by Secretary Gage for the arrest of twenty-two others, who are cutting staves In Mississippi. All of these alien contract laborers will be re turned to Baltimore, where they arrived November Bth, and will be deported nt the expense of the North German Lloyd Steamship company, which brought them over.

THE HERALD KEYSTONE SOLDIERS Raise Monuments on Fa mous Battlefields THE PLAINS OF TENNESSEE DOTTED WITH MEMORIALS TO HEROIC DEAD Survivors of the Cruel War Enter tained by the Remnants of Their Erstwhile Fees Af'celated Press Special AVlre. CHATTANOOGA, Term., Nov. IB. — This has been a glorious day for the Pennsylvania veterans who came here to dedicate their monument to the mem ory of their heroism in the great war, exemplified in their valorous conduct on the field of Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, Orchard Knob and Lookout Mountain. The dedicatory ceremonies occurred at Orchard Knob, where fully 0000 people gathered within sound 1f the voices of the speakers. Hon. H. Clay Evans, Gen. John P. Gobln, Gen. Latta and other distin guished visitors occupied seats on the platform. The Fifth Regiment United Stales hand from McPherson barracks furnished the music for the occasion. After prayer by Dr. Thomas H. Robin son, Lieut.-Col. Archibald Hlakeley, of the Seventy-eighth regiment, represent ing the Pennsylvania battlefield com mission, formally transferred the mon uments erected by the state to the gov ernor. Following Col. niakeley. Gov. Hast ings spoke, delivering the monuments to the national government. The gov ernor's address was frequently inter rupted by applause. The monuments were then formally accepted on the part of the national government and transferred to the Na tional park commissioners by John Tweedule, chief clerk - of the war de partment. Mr. Twecdale said he had been dele gated by President McKinley and Sec retary Alger to represent them because he was a private soldier in a Pennsyl vania regiment and fought in the bat tics about Chattanooga. Among other things he said: "Tennyson has immortalized the charge of the light brigade: history thrills us with tho stories of Waterloo and Austerlltz, of Marengo, Gravelotte and Sedan and other vivid pictures of gallantry In battle. The light brigade lost 36.7 per cent at Ualaklava and the Third Westphallan lost 40.4 per cent at Mars-La-Tour, the highest record of casualties in authentic history until our late war. At Gettysburg the One Hun dred and Forty-first Pennsylvania lost 75.7 per cent: the First Minnesota lost o2 per cent and on the Confederate side the Twenty-sixth North Carolina lost 71.7 per cent, not including the missing In action. In Fox's book—"Regimental Losses of the Civil War"—it is stated that in the battle of the first day Capt. Tuttle's company of this regiment went Into action With three officers and S4 men. All of the officers and 83 of the men were killed or wounded. In the presence of almost certain death Amer can soldiers stood and fought without flinching. " 'When can their glory fade? Oh, the wild charge they made All the world wondered.' " "And what of Chicamauga?" Gen. H. V. Boynton, for and on behalf of the national park commission, for mally accepted the monuments. Gen. Boynton spoke in part as follows: "While there is deep and abiding meaning in the fact that Pennsylvania comes here to honor the military achievements of her sons and preserve their memory until the centuries shall have crumbled granite and wasted bronze, there is deeper and more far reaching meaning in the fact that ail the states of the south as well as the north are engaged with equal enthusi asm under the same national author ity in the same work. "Have you ever read of anything like our park in history? Did any nation ever exist where its establishment would have been possible? In the development of the race, union between warring states has never been completed before. But in the furnace of our contest every trace of dross was consumed and the forging of our battles was a more perfect union and a stronger and a mightier one than the world has seen. We are all conscious of this and we glory in it. The world will learn it whenever as a united nation we arc called to righteous war. There Is no element in all our work which glorifies the lost cause. Even those who upheld its tattered banners do not seek that. But every soldier who stood in tho front against them till the union triumphed and we became broth ers again. It was magnificent skill and endurance and valor which rallied tj support that cause, incited the north to military effort and deeds which had never been floated in its dream before. And so It came to pass that north and south, after a four years' course in their schools of war, graduated thiß nation as a first class military power. And now we all know that the history which stands recorded on the fields around this city, repeating on monuments and tab - lets as it does the story of the unexam pled development of American endeavor In battle, has carried this nation for ward with striding steps far along the path of Its greatest desttny. Our park first suggested that union by which the soldiers of the north and those of the south came together on a famous bat tlefield in equal commemoration of American valor. The whole nation re sponded and has well learned the les son which such union teaches. Wo now are conscious of our military prowess. We remember the tremen dous blows which each section struck on many fields when the nation stood divided, and veterans of both armies will be forgiven if In all their musings over the future they picture to them selves an American army tn battle array LOS ANGELES. TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 16, <B<?7 Grant and Lee, Rosecrans nnd Bragg, of Thomas and Longstreet, of Wilson and Forest and Wheeler. Unless all present signs of fast growing Jealousy of repub lican progress on the part of foreign powers fall and fade, then are veterans I who will take part in it, and be rendered invincible by the stirring memories of this great military deed which their fathers performed under the stars and stripes or the battle banner of the south land. At the conclusion of General Boyn ton's address, Hon. Clay Evans, United States commissioner of p nstons, was in troduced. Mr. Kvans spoke at some length. He said that the government at the breaking out of the war made two distinct contracts with the people. First, that every dollar Bslvancfid for carrying forward the war for the Union should be paid back In the good, hard gold of the republic. The second engagement was that the national government would care for tlie destitute survivors of Its armies of the war and for the widows of those who fell in battle. Both of these promises, be said, the government is now carrying out faithfully, lie urged all to stand for the honor of the republic, to preserve the great heritage of freedom and liberty handed down by Washing ton, transferred by Abraham Lincoln, and so splendidly exemplliied by that ruler of 70,000,000 people, who is greater than any monarch of Europe, William McKinley. Following Mr. Evans, Col. Thos. J. Stewart, adjutant-general to Governor Hastings, and General James W. Latta of Pittsburg made short addresses. General John P. Gobln proposed that instead of a speech he would ask the vast audience to sing "America," which was done with a vim, closing the cere monies. Tonight the veterans enjoyed a camp fire at the city auditorium prepared by the local G. A. R. and Confederate vet erans. The blue and gray mingled freely and ate out of the same haver sack, drank from the same canteen, and told yarns until n late hour. Eight regimental and battery monu ments were dedicated by the Pennsyl vania veterans during the day. Strongly Opposed to tho Coming' of Immigrants LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 15.—The morning session of the Knights of Labor was devoted to tho discussion of the re port of the Committee of immigration. It was the prevailing sentiment that some vigorous steps should be taken to restrict immigration and statistics were presented showing that nearly ten mil lion foreign laborers had come to this country during tlie last twenty-three years, all of whom, it was claimed, worked a hardship on the American worklngmen. The report that Past Grand Master Workman Sovereign had stepped down because he desired to fix his plans for the Presidency on a labor reform ticket in 1900 was vigorously denied on all sides. At the af.ternoorM6esslcn.Jt was voted unanimously to set apart the last Sun day in June as Labor Memorial day. This day will be observed by all the district assemblies in the United States. It was expressly stated that the day should not be regarded in the light of a holiday. It was iixed upon Sunday especially so it could not be made a holiday with its attendant festivities. During the rest of the afternoon a num ber of minor matters were disposed ef which related purely to the order. The report of the committee on finance was received. This committee had made an examination of the books of the order and found everything to be in first class shape. Charle3 L. Fair Begins His Long- Threatened Suit SAN FBANCISCO, Nov. 15.—Charles L. Fair's long-threatened contest of his father's will, commonly known as tin; trust will, was formally begun in the superior court today. The petition recites that James G. Fair died in San Francisco on December 2S, ISM, leaving an estate valued at over $10,000,000; that at the time of his death he was unmarried, us his wife, Theresa Fair, had died on September 111, 1891, and that the heirs were the petitioner and his sisters, Mrs. Theresa A. Oeliichs and Miss Virginia Fair. It is charged that the will was execut ed as the result of fraud and misrepre sentation. The provision to deprive of all inheritance any legatee who should contest the will was inserted, It Is said, because designing persons told James G. Fair that his children had declared that they would break,any will he might make and that at the time of the making of the will he was suffering from Blight's disease and other physical dis orders, was physically and mentally weak and susceptible to prejudice and to the artifices of designing persons. Increase in Imports, While Exports Grow' Smaller WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—The month ly statement of the Imports and exports Issued by the bureau of statistics shows the exports of domestic merchandise during October last have amounted to $109,58:i,542, a loss of nearly $2,500,000 as compared with October, 1896.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15—The British, Canadian and American delegates to the Bering sea meeting had confidently ex pected to bring their labors to a close to day, hut after two arduous sessions last ing until 5:30 oclock this evening the experts had not been able to reconcile all their differences. It was determined, therefore, to continue the meeting to morrow. Up to the time of closing today the experts had reached an agreement on all but three or four reserved proposi tions. These, it is expected, can be agreed on during the morning session tomorrow, so that the expert report can be signed and the meeting concluded, so far us the experts are concerned. This will make available all the data neces sary for considering the vital diplomatic question of stopping pelagic sealing. The intention is that Mr. Foster, Sir Wilfrid Laurler and Sir Louis Davies will meet tomorrow afternoon to go over the results reached by the experts and if possible agree upon a basis of settle ment. The outcome of this diplomatic meeting continues to be in much doubt. It was intimated tonight that the Ca nadians might make a counter proposi tion, not going so far as the American representatives desired in the way of limiting pelagic sealing, but yet offering a possible ground for af licable adjust ment. Equally reliable sources state that if j the issue assumed the form of pelagic ! sealing or no pelagic scaling, as now seemed likely, it would be extremely difficult to reconcile the differences. In view of the continuance of the meeting, Sir Wilfrid and Sir Louis will not leave until tomorrow night or Wednesday. When the Bering seAHMeJing began at the state department the delegates stat ed that there was every reason to be lieve the final stage would be reachei today. The expertsjrefe ready to report on.all the technicaftealures of seal llf • and it was reliably that they had reached common ground and would sign a joint report. Witij this in hand the diplomats planned to devote this after noon to considering the larger phase of the question, that of reaching a joint agreement between the United States and Great Britain for the cessation of pelagic sealing. This was felt to be the vital issue of the negotiations, on which hinged not only a settlement of the Bering sea question, but also prob ably that of reciprocity, border immi gration and all the questions pending between the United States and Canada. From reliable quarters It was learned that the diplomatic contention had al ready taken definite shape. It is under stood that the proposition of the Ameri can representatives Unvolve3 two feat ures; first, that Canada, through the imperial authorities, shall consent to the stoppage of pelagic sealing for one year, and second, that negotiations shall be opened for a suspension of sealing be yond this term of one year. It is under stood that the Canadian officials do not regard this proposition with favor. They have taken the ground, it is said, that they would be glad to reach any basis of settlement by compromise or fair concession, but they view the propo sition as one for absolute surrender on their part. From their standpoint an agreement to stop sealing for one year, and then to negotiate for stopping it for a longer period would not involve any give-and-take concession, as they would be called on to give without definite pros pect of receiving benefit for benefit. Whether this will develop a critical issue when the diplomats get together cannot be foretold. Each side naturally is very insistent in its respective con tentions as the final stage is approach ing, but this Is in part attributed to dip lomatic maneuvering for position. Both sides are earnestly hopeful of a solution. From the American standpoint the failure of the negotiations would affect not only the sealing question between Canada and the United States, but would also complicate the treaty between Rus sia, Japan and the Unfted States, the entire theory of that treaty being'that Great Britain and Canada would co operate in a limitation of pelagic seal ing. From the Canadian standpoint, there is equal anxiety to avoid a failure of the negotiations, as that would affect not only their Bering sea interests, but also reciprocity, border Immigration and the many subjects on which they hope to secure an adjustment. While this general sentiment prevails, one of the officials participating in the meeting regretfully expressed the fear that the negotiations would fail, adding, however, that he hoped his fears would not be realized by the final issue of the meeting. BRITISH COMMENT LONDON, Nov. 15.—The afternoon newspapers devote editorial articles to day to the visit of Sir Wilfrid Laurler, premier of Canada, to Washington. The Globe declares: "The statesmen at Washington have played their cards badly, and they know It. Canada has learned the lesson of patriotic Independ ence and self-reliance, and the magnifi cent discoveries of gold which promise her In the near future an enormous in crease of population has confirmed her In the just confidence that with the mother country at her back she needs no American assistance In the work of carving; out for. herself an honorable and prosperous career." unknown I BOMBAY, Nov, 16.—The bubonic plague INDEX TO THE TELEGRAPH NEWS The Dakota lynchers on Sunday hanged an innocent man.

ANTIPODEAN WILLIAM WELCOMED INTERFERENCE BY THE POLICE Chicago Cops Stop Several Bouts Just as They Were Getting Interesting CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—The six-round contest between Kid McCoy and Aus tralian Billy Smith, in which George Siler was referee, was stopped by the pulice in the first half of the second round today. The fight would not have lasteel over | two rounds any way, as McCoy knocked Smith down twice in the first round and four times in the second, and had him nearly out before the police inter- fered. McCoy opened the first round with a rush, planting a left square in Smith's: face and a right on his litis. Smith managed to land two blows on the shoulder, but they were light and did no damage. McCoy then went at him with a cannonade of l ights and lefts and sent Smith to the floor with a right on the jaw. Smith was not groggy, but took his nine seconds, McCoy waiting for him with a smile on his face. The.gong rang as Smith rose. i Second round—McCoy went right ( after Smithy and knocked his head back three times with straight lefts as fast as Smith could bring it forward. He then put a right on the body, two more lefts on the mouth and sent Smith to the lloor with a left half-arm swing.'on the jaw. " Smith was down eight seconds, and as soon as he was up McCoy met him with another left and then sent in a right and left on the jaw which laid Smith Hat once more. He was down eight seconds again, and en me up with the blood pouring from his right eye and trickling from his nose. The two danced across the ring, when out went McCoy's left with a short arm jab, and down went Smith a third time. He was down eight seconds, and was very groggy when he arose. McCoy came at him fast, and put in two hard ones on the face. Smitli staggered, and, It being evident that he could last but very little longer, the police stopped the fight. The contest was McCoy's from start to finish, and Smith was never in it at any time. McCoy hit him when and where he pleased, and got away from Smith's swings without trouble. The latter was badly punished, and his right eye being nearly closed when the fight was stopped. Billy Ratchford of Chicago and Tom Cooney-of Boston went six rounds at list pounds, the former getting the decision, although Cooney put up a game fight. Following this bout, George Kerwtn of Chicago defeated Frank Fitzgerald, also of this city, in the second round. Al. Schriber of Chicago was rapidly disposing of Tom Silverthorn of Utah when the affair was stopped in the fifth round by the police. THE BURNING MINE Five Hundred Miners Driven Out by Smoke ASPEN, Col., Nov. 15.—The owners of the Smuggler mine, which has been on fire since yesterday morning, announce tonight that the situation is much im proved, inasmuch as they have succeed ed in carrying lines of steampipes to within a short distance the Are, and hope in a few hours more to be playing upon it. Outsiders, how ever, take a dif ferent view of the situation. Already the gns has permeated the workings in the various mines on Smug gler mountain for two miles to the north of the Smuggler shaft, and 500 men have been driven out and two or three times that number will have quit work if the fire is not quenched. The feeling here Is very gloomy, as it is believed a long shut-down of the prin cipal mines of the camp is certain to occur.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.—Senator Fairbanks of Indiana and Senator Elkins of West Virginia saw the presi dent today upon matters pertaining primarily to appointments in their etate3, but also discussed with Mr. Mc- Kinley the probable policy of the com ing session of congress. Both Senators Elkins and Fairbanks agree with tho president in the matter of pacific meas ures regarding Cuba and Spain.; President McKinley is quite anxious to know what prospects there are for currency legislation and asks different senators who call for their opinions. Senator Harris of Kansas, who took a prominent part in the last session of congress against the arrangements for the sale of the Union Pacific railroad, called on the president regarding the sale of tha Kansas Pacific railroad. Ha said he believed the Kansasfpaclftcf like the Union Pacific, would bring the full amount of the government claim and, though as to the Central Pacific then might be some difficulty, yet he Inclined to the opinion that the government would get its debt on this account also paid in full. While pressure is still being brought to bear on the president for appoint ment, he is giving little time to such matters and prefers to work on the mes sage. It is probable that the president will make no recommendation in his message upon the subject of general arbitration. The fact that he mae'elhls views clear on that subject in his inaugural address and that no arbitration treaty will be pending when the annual message is sent in, makes it unnecessary to say anything further on the matter at this time. M'KINLEY'S MESSAGE NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: •»Fe»Wont McKinley has his amnio! message to Congress well under way, and little remains to be done to it cept such minor changes as ma be suggested by events of the three Weeks before the beginning of the session Hawaiian annexation will occupy a prominent place and the Senate will be urged to speedily ratify the treaty now pending before that body. To no subject has the President given more careful consideration than to the Cuban question, and it will occupy con siderable space in his messuge. He does not wish Congress to take any action that might bring about strained rela tions with the Spanish government. On the subject of reciprocity the Pres ident will be able to show that an ar rangement mutually advantageous to the commerce of both countries is reach- ing conclusion with France; that nego tiations for reciprocity with Canada are progressing, and that It is expected that arrangements will be made with various countries in South and Central America. The Nicaraguan canal will be touched upon, but it is thought the President will send a special message to Congress on this subject. The President will urgo upon Congress the necessity of adopt ing legislation for the reform of the cur rency system along lines recommended by Secretary of the Treasury Gage. Alaskan affairs will be treated at some length, and the President will point out the necessity of immediate legislation for this region. An increase in the Army and Navy will also be recommended. ANXIOUS FOR ACTION NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—A dispatch to the World from Honolulu, dated Oc tober 2Sth, says: Sanford P.. Dole, President of the pro visional republic of Hawaii, and Chief Justice Judd are anxious to have the Hawaiian annexation treaty ratified as soon as possible. Said President Dole to the World: "The people will never again submit to a monarchy. In fact, there is no one sufficiently enjoying the confidence of the people of the islands to conduct the affairs of state under a monarchy." "Why do they not desire to continue as an independent republic?" was asked. "As the Islands are so far away from other countries and as the Asiatic poulation is fast increasing in numbers it is a serious question, if they are left ulone, whether the republic could sur vive with the willing consent of the for eigners. Besides, if the United States has constantly to protect the Islands under the present government, why should not the United States take them altogether? This is a great country for commerce. It is the natural land for American ownership. To all intents and purposes it is an American colony any way, as far as business, capital and in dustry are concerned and it should be a part of the body politic of the United States." The news that has reached here from San Francisco that Samuel Parker, a prominent native leader, and heretofore a strong royalist, has declared in favor of annexation, has created quite a sen sation among the natives who are still opposed to annexation.
