The veterans are urged noi to put a penny in tne company s treasury, ; C Advices of Sunday from Berlin state "that the German foreign office expects that Russia will forthwith open a com j mercial war against Germany. The officials attribute the failure of nego tiations between Russia and Germany to Francophile ' and Pan-Slavist influ ence in St. Petersburg, inducing the Russian government to demand impos , eible concessions.

A libel . against two steam tugs for 3,000 damages was filed in the United States district court at ew York Sat- , nrday by attorneys for the czar of Russia.

This amount, with the exception of the 1,000,000 first taken by the Bank of Commerce, is divided up among sev sral of the old banks belonging to the Clearing House Association, no one bank taking any large amount of cer tificates. So far the banks have re mained in good condition, and the Clearing nouse committee nas not oeen ' jailed upon to examine them. I Mrs. Jefferson Davis arrived at i West Point, New York., Saturday afternoon and was taken to the Cranston hotel, where she was as i jigned to rooms nearly opposite to those occupied by Mrs. U. S.

Amick when shown the above said: ' "I will continue sending test ' medicines to these and all other doctors for each new patient until all realize their suc 3ess could not come from any false theory." BOMB-THROWERS BLOWN UP In an Attempt to Take the Life of Ex-Premier Castillo. A cable dispatch from Madrid is to the effect that a large dynamite bomb was exploded at midnight Monday night a few feet from the res idence of Canovas del Cas tillo, the ex-premier. The explosion was heard throughout the city. The immediate district around the house was shaken as if by an earthquake. The policemen ran to the spot. They 4rfound tho dismembered body of a man I in the street and caught a man crawl- ing down the street on his hands and knees. When arrested the man re fused to say what he knew of the ex plosion, but complained that he was severely wounded. One of his legs was broken, his scalp was torn and his face was covered with blood. He was' taken to a police station, and was there identified by a servant employed in a house opposite the ex-premier's, as one of three men whom she had seen standing on the other side of the street just before the explosion. After the explosion she said she heard a man run away. Many houses in the neighborhood where the explosion occurred were badly damaged. Windows were shat tered and walls were sprung, but none of the occupants were injured. While the policemen were looking around just after the explosion'Canovas open ed the door and ordered all his serv ants to help in tho search. Ahead and hand was found seventy feet from the place where the bomb was set off. l.rnnM.nnf H, oHV liofnrA 1 nVlrwV, All tho- eabinet ministers and man4 conspicuous deputies called upon Can ovas to congratulate him upon his es cape.

Five more anarchists have been arrest- e,d in the city and seventeen in Barce lona for complicity in the bomb-throwing plot. LIGHTNING'S FEARFUL WORK.

Have to Say of Busi ness for the Fast Seven Days. R. G. Dun & Co. 'a weekly re view of trade says : The improve ment expected from the issue of Kew York clearing house certificates, thus utilizing credit instead of cash in lo cal dealings, has not been legalized. Other cities, especially at the west, have taken similar measures to relieve the press and the demand from the in terior continues unabated. The vol- ume oi trade is consiaeraoiy reaucea Bank clear- by monetary stringency. ings outside of New York are declin- j ing materially in comparison with last year. In some departments of busi- ness orders for merchandise , are de-! f erred, since there is no assurance of ability to carry the goods until they are sold, while in other depart ments orders are not received because the future is distrusted. The effect on the greatindustries has been less "thus far than might have been feared, as most of the works are employed in or ders booked before the trouble began, but many works are now reducing the number of hands, and others must soon suspend operations unless the prospect becomes clearer. Cotton goods are comparatively quiet, and, while shipments of boots and shoes on past orders far exceed last year's, new orders are not encour aging. Speculative markets have been much depressed by monetary strin gency, wheat having sold for several days at the lowest price ever known in New York and at Chieago. The. movement of grain from the farms is large for the season and by no means indicates exhaustion of stocks and the visible supply, decreas es so slowly that purchases are little encouraged. The new harvest already begins and prospects are decidely brightened by much needed rains in the northwest dunug the week. .Low er prices have increased export demand, though it is not large enough to make much impresion on the enormous been weak prospects of money stocks in sight. Corn has with more cheering crop and hog products because stringency. Cotton sharply declined, but partially recovered with stronger foreign advices. Accounts from other cities nearly all show that monetary pressure affects trade materially ; that collections are unusually slow and banks extremely cautious m lending, even where they are strongly fortified. At Pittsburg the volume of business has somewhat decreased and the fact that two prom inent iron concerns are involved is not encouraging. It is thought the mills ?n trouble may close, decreasing tne output of pig and a strike regarding wages is thought more probable. At Cleveland trade is fairly good, but money is close. At Cincinnati strin gency mates collections poor. At Detroit manufacturers are dis charging some employes with the prospect that many must close if the stringency continues. At bt. lJaul and Minneapolis prospects are bright er. Chicago reports no distinct im provement in trade, though J uly set tlements will soon release large sums and an easier market is expected. Speculation is much curtailed and prices for wheat the lowest ever known. Local securities have shrunk severely and, provisions are lower. Clearings show a decrease of 30 per cent, real estate sales 30 and securities 40 per cent compared with last year and also nearly all products decrease. Milwau kee reports money slightly easier. At Omaha trade is good and money plen ty. St. Joseph reports slow collec tion and Kansas City fair trade and collections. Denver reports fair trade but slow collections. At St. Louis the freight movement is gratifying. Banks are accommodating customers i in all regular , business, but refusing j speculators. At Atlanta trade is fair for the season, but collections slow and money very close. At Mobile trade is fair, but money is tight. The state of foreign trade is not yet satisfactory, for exports of pro ducts fall below last year's at New York in June thus far $3,600,000, or about 14 per cent, while imports are still somewhat larger than a year ago. Trading stocks are much affected by monetary conditions and prices have been depressed on an average of 25 cents per share, with some selling by foreign and of securities recently pur chased. There is hope that July dis bursements, the issue of certificates and the increased grain shipment will bring better conditions, but the fail ures are still numerous and includes some of importance. The failures for the week number 287 as compared with totals of 347 last year. For the , corresponding week last year the failures were 190. A TToman's Horrible Deed. Two weeks ago Mrs. Lollie Cum mings, of Knoxville. Tenn., was ar rested for murdering her ten-year-old stepson. The murder was particularly brutal, the child's head being literally hacked to pieces with an ax. The woman was arrested, but stoutly de nied her guilt. She was placed in jail. Later she made a confession, in which she said that Sam Walker, a county constable, did the deed. Walker was arrested and on bis trial proved an alibi. Friday Mrs. Cn mm ings made another confession and says she killed the boy while in an angry passion with him. FOtiR HUNDRED DROWNED. iJ5 BiiM farsMp "Victoria" SeI in Collision in tlie Mefflemnea Four Hundred of Her Ill-Fated Crew Go Down With Her. A special cable dispatch from Lon don says: A tragedy of the sea with out parallel in the naval annals oi re cent times occurred Friday. The Brit ish battleship Victoria, the flagship of the Mediterranean squadron, has com pleted a checkered career by sinking off Tripoli, after a collision with the Camperdown, a sister ship of the squadron This tragedy, resulting in the los3 of 400 men, including the vice admiral of the squadron, had not been equaieu m latai results since tne siuk- of tlie GorSe in 178a2! uuo souis iouna ineir snrouu in iuo ocean waves., Details of the disaster are meager, and the responsibility for this woeful loss of life has not been fixed. Some of, the ships of the squadron were maneuvering, when the prow ram of the Camperdown struck the Victoria forward of the turret in the starboard side. Through the enormous hole made by her sister ship, the water poured so rapidly in that she was sinking before an effort could be made to man the boats. Even in the face of impossibility, the sailors strove to close the break, but, in the midst of their labor of despera tion, the mighty hull turned complete ly over and went to the bottom, fif teen minutes after the Victoria had received the fatal blow, the water closing over her, and the brave hearts that were prepared to battle with all enemies of, their country had ceased to beat, because the mistake of a friend was more deadly than designs of any foe. LIST OF OFFICERS DROWNED. The complement of officers and crew of the Victoria comprised . 600 men. The list of officers "drowned includes, besides Vice Admiral Trion, Captain Morris, Lieutentant Monro, Fleet Pay master Ricord, First Engineer For man, Engineer Harding, Assistant En .gineers Deadman, Hatherly and Sea ton, Gunner Howell, Boatswain Har mon, Carpenter Meade, Midshipmen Grieve, Flakes, Lanyonj Penly, Gam bler and Scarlot, Cadet Stboks and Clerks Allen and Savage. The Victoria was a twin-screw bat tleship, of 10,070 tons and of 14,000 horse power. She mounted fifteen guns. The Camperdown is also a first class twin-screw battleship. She is of 10,000 tons and 11,500 horse power, and carries ten guns. Vice Admiral Sir George Trion was commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean station. He was made a vice admiral August 20, 1891. WERE THE. COLLISION OCCURRED. The first dispatches concerning the accident led to the belief that the dis aster had occurred of the coast of Tripoli, in northern Africa. Later advices show that the scene of the ca lamity was near Tripoli, a seaport town on the eastern Mediteranean. The eastern Mediterranean proved a most unfortunate cruising ground for the Victoria for it wras in this part of the sea that she met her serious mis hap. Last year the Victoria ran aground off the Greek coast, near Petea, and she was only floated off af ter an immense amount of labor and large expense. EXCITEMENT'lN "LONDON. ' As soon as the news of the disaster Decame known in London, the duke of Edinburgh, who was lately promoted to the position of admiral of the fleet, visited the admiralty and conferred with the officials there. A meeting of the admiralty board was held, and a telegram of instructions was sent to Rear Admiral Markham. The news of the calamity has 'caused the most in tense excitement, not only among those who had friends on the ill-fated ship, but among all classes of the popula tion. GLADSTONE INTO BITS THE COMMONS. Mr. Gladstone was greatly shocked wlfen he was informed of the sinking of the Victoria and the great loss of life that had attended the foundering of the vessel. The prime minister in formed the house of commons of the accident and paid a most glowing tribute to the worth of Vice Admiral Trion, who he said, was one of the ablest and most esteemed officers in the ser vice of her majesty. Mr. Gladstone said that there were 511 officers, sea men and boys and 107 marines on board the ship. It was feared that of this total of 718 souls G30 had been lost. He was sure the deepest sympa thy of the house would be felt for the brave men who had found an early grave in the service of their country, and that it would be extended to their relatives and friends. The Kt. Hon. George Hamilton, formerly first lord of the admiralty, endorsed everything Mr. Gladstone said. DCE TO CAB EL ESS NESS. It was said that this accident was due to carelessness. A boat's crew from tho Victoria was sent to mark with a buoy a shoaL the existence of which was known to the Victoria offi cer's. The shoal is a short one, and extends out from the shore. The boat's crew was instructed to proceed along the shoals from the shore until ten fathoms of water was reached, and then to mark the spot with a buoy. When within a hundred yards of the end, the boat got off the shoals, and, as the next sounding showed ten fath oms of water, the buoy was launched. The Victoria then came along at a good rate of speed at right angles to the shoal to . take a position for torpedo practice, and, passing well outside the buoy, struck the shoal and remained fast. Aa soon as tha officers of the Victoria saw that there wad danger of their ship foundering orders were given to close the collision bulkheads in order to keep the water in the compartment into which the Camperdown had shoved a ram. The sailers tried to obey the order but the ship was making water too fast to al low the closing of the bulkheads, and, while the men were still trying to shut them, the vesseL with her immense guns and heavy top hamper, turned over and carried them down. The newspapers are filled with ar ticles describing the vessels and with the obtuaries of the most conspicuous lives lost. All public leaders are ex tending condolence to the friends o! the drowned men. Every leader eulo gizes Admiral Trion. The London Daili, Xttcs says editorially : America will thrill at the news coming u it does, with the New Tork cheers for our squadron lurdlj died away. Are we to pay so much in tuill oua and broken heart onty to learn that ho apartment eystem ia a delusion and a pnare? HE EARTH TREMBLED. Some of the Seaboard Cities Visited by a Light Shock. A slight earthquake shock, moving ' from the northwest to the southeast, was felt at Charleston, S. C, at 11. Oo Tuesday night. First there was a tremor, then a faint roar and then came the wnve. The people got out of bed and ran into the streets as they did in former earthquake times. Though considerable alarm was felt, there was no damage to person or property. v " At Savnnaah the shock was felt quite severely. It lasted from ten to fifteen seconds. Buildings all over the city were shaken considerably during that time, but no dpjnage was done so far as has been learned. At Brunswick the , shock was felt about 11 o'clock. Newspaper workers on The Times and correspondents at fiieir desks felt a perceptible rocking of the building and hurried down to investigate the cause. The shock was perceptible in every section of the city. Augusta was shaken for several sec onds by an earthquake. It was quite severe and generally felt. People rushed out of their honses and lined the streets. Xhey were a little fright ened, but not seriously. No damage was done. At Columbia, . C", the quake was severe and sharp, and was felt all over tho city, causing great excitement. At Wilmington, N. C., the shock was felt at 11 :15, and lasted but a few second. Hundreds of people were aroused from sleep and many rusheJ in terror to the streets. " " . SOLD EAD BOOKS. He Was Banker, Publisher and Son day School Superintendent. - A dispatch from Wheeling, W. Va., says: It has come to the knowledge of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company and Union News company that the agents of the latter have abused their privilege of selling on the company's train by offering a very rank variety of obscene literature. The Bailroad company, assisted by the News company, set out to put , a stop to it and discovered who was furnish ing the objectionable matter. W. B. Jones, a news agent, was arrested at Cambridge, Ohio. In his trunk was found a roll of obscene literature. Jones said he did not know the name of the man who supplied the printed matter, but said he lived in Butler, O., and gave a de scription of him. He explained fur ther that the man was in the habit of coming on a car and delivering bim rhymes. Jones was taken to Butler and there . identified the man from whom he purchased the matter, one J. L. Barr, publisher of the "Cyclone," a banker, general business man, a com pounder of condition powders and su perintendent of a Sunday school. When confronted, Barr admitted the truth of the charge and was placed under $500 bail. He says the same thing has been done on other railways. SENATOR STANFORD'S BURIAL.

The funeral services over Senator Stanford were held Saturday on the gTounds of Stanford university at Pa lo Alto, CaL, and the remains were placed in the family mausoleum. Spe cial trains from San Francisco brought great numbers of people. The em ployes of the ranch, numbering 150 men, acted as an escort. Tbey were followed by the clergy and jailbear ers in carriages. The services were simple. Bishop Nichols - read the bu rial services of the Episcapal church and the choir of Grace church, San Francisco, sang several hymns. Bev. Dr. Stebkens, pastor of the Unitarian church, of San Francisco, delivered an address reviewing the life and char acter of the dead senator.

THE FATAL SHOTS. i, Miss Force's crime is too well known to need any dwelling upon, and the sad story but brings up sad memoriet of an insane woman's terrible and blood-thirsty deed. The double mur der occurred on Saturday, February 25th, just at the very time when the city was wild over a bank defalcation and a couple of suicides. From the statements made by Miss Force herself the murder was a deliberate one, which was well planned and faith fully executed. The mother was ab sent from home ; the two servants were dispatched on errands, and the way was clear for the horrible deed that was to f ollbw. Miss Minnie Force wa shot down, first, the room was locked, and the fully aroused murderess then turned her attention to her invalid sister, who was in the room upstairs. . She entered the room with the pistol beneath her apron, and the note from High & Co. in the other hand, and with but one word shot her down from behind. ' Since she has been in jail, accord ing to the testimony of one of the witnesses, the has professed sorrow at having done what she did, but despair ingly declares that she doesn't see how she will be forgiven. The testimony in the case elicited at Monday morn ing's trial tended to show, without the shadow of a doubt, that Miss Force is, and was, a monomaniac of the worst type. In the testimony was unfolded the story of a good church woman, an earnest worker in the cause of the; Lord in fact, a wo man who was recommended by ont bishop to another as the very . person to help on the good work who sud denly developed into one who did not hesitate to use profane language. From a woman of fastidious tastes and holy purpose, Miss Force's monomania drew her into a path which she had never known before. the state's vraw. ' The state made out its case fairlj strong on the small amount of testi mony that could be had, and nearly every witness on a close cross-examination by the attorneys for the defense, ended by virtually becoming a witnes for the defense. Every witness for the defense swore that since November there had been a change in Miss Julia's ways, and that she was evidently losing hei mind, or at least, becoming mentally unbalanced. The sudden change in her character as has, already been - uvuntj car until U rvt u t j lUC Uir fense, and when the defenm announc ed closed there was not a single person in the court-houne who had heard the entire testimony that did not believe Miss Julia Force insane. After a large number of witness were examined, the defense rcsted.and offered as part of their evidence': th record in the ordinary' court. Solic itor Hill objected. Tha toint tm, was unstained. .
