KEITH'S BLOCK, OPPOSITE THE UNION PACIFIC DEPOT. .-. y " J,---- -X , Charles of Roumania Hemmed in by His Ministers. BARON HIRSCHS GREAT SCHEME, The Trade Union Congress Throws a V Bomb into tlic Liberal Ranks in Shape ofn Resolution Favoring Salaries for Members of Parliament. London, Sept. 24. From Vienna comes the startling information that King Charles, of Roumania, is virtually the prisoner of his own ministers and that a scheme is on foot to drive him to abdication. The king has at heart been with the queen in her desires to bring about the marriage of the crown prince, and Mademoiselle Vacaresco but he was overborne by his ministers, and for fear that he may relent and give wa)r to the wishes of his almost dying wife. a deputation of ms ministers follows him everywhere, and he was not even permitted, when he went to Venice, to see the queen without the presence of a member from the ministry. The ex planation of this is that the ministry favors Russia and believes that with King Charles off the throne they could letter carry out their schemes for the Russianization of the kingdom. King Charles has a strong hold on the loyalty and devo tion of Roumanians. This cannot bo said of the crown prince, who is not the king's son, but the son of his brother, introduced from Germany as heir to tho throne, and therefore unconnected with the traditions and memories which alee King Charles himself dear to the Roumanians. The overthrow of King Charles would, therefore, mean the overthrow of his dynasty and the virtual substitution of a Russian protectorate. As King Charles, however, belongs to a branch of the German imperial family it is not likely that the German em peror anu ms ally, Francis Joseph, would view with maifference the de thronement of a Hohenzollern. A Bomb In the Liberal Camp. London, Sept 14. The trades union congress has thrown a bomshell into tho Liberal camp by their resolution in favor of salaries for members of parlia ment. This means the introduction of the labor element to an important de gree to the house of commons, where it has now barely a foothold. The house is no longer what it was before the latest extension of the franchise, but the change has been confined almost entirely to the unseating of squires, and the younger sons of nobility, to tnvo the place to factorr managers and wealthy grocers and brewers and other trades men. With the exception or a few men like Burt and Fenwick, tho labor ele ment is yet without class representation. It is desired to change all this and make it possible for poor men to aspire to parliament by enacting that the treasury shall pay a regular stipend to members. Such a change would be, in the eye3 or Englishmen, almost significant to revolution. It would mean tho abolition of the old parliament m the fullest senso and the hrst step in the legislative triumph of radicalism. The Liberal party is far from being prepared to accopt the sal ary proposition, and thus throw down tne oars to tne naciicais. it is oeiieveu that Mr. Gladstone himself will hesi tate to go that far.and at a Liberal meet ing in October there is liktly to be a warm discussion of the subject. Baron Ilirsch's Grand Project. London, Sept. 14. The articles of association which will formally launch Baron Hirsch's munificent scheme of benefaction to the poor and oppressed of his race have been published. It takes the form of a limited liability company called "The Jewish Coloniza tion Association," registered, the office of which will be in London. Its nomi nal capital is 2,000,000, in 20,000 shares of 100 each. Of these Baron Maurice do Hirsch subscribes to 19,090. Seven Hebrew gentlemen aro named in tho articles as owning one share each.. This leaves tnree shares unallotted, and doubtless these will be offered to repre sentatives of the United States and Ger many. Tho objects of the association are as the3r have been generally understood: that is, to assist the imigration of the Jews from countries in Europe and Asia whero they are. subject to special taxes and disabilitise to other parts of tho world, and establish colonies in North and South America for agricultural and commercial purposes. No colonies will be attempted in Europe. Tho as sociation takes to itself full rights to carry on trade, commerce, and all in dustrial operations which may facili tate the objects of the company, to pur chase property, to negotiate securities, etc. Gerfnan Defeat in East Africa. Berlin, Sept. 14. Further particulars have been received of tire defeat of tho Germans in East Africa by tho natives.

Three hundred of the blackii under German command were killed and a large quantity of guns and muni tions of war were lost to the enemy. The victorious natives followed np their success without mercy, killing all they got in their power. Cholera in the East. London, Sept. 14. Owing to the ro ports that cholera is rampant in tho east, the British admiralty has ordered tho officers commanding the ships on the Bombay coast to exercise the strict est precaution. The British legation at Constantinople has also been instructed to make representations to the sultan in behalf of the great need of sanitary su pervision over the Mecca pilgrimages, which are believed to be largely, if not chiefly, responsible for the dissemina tion of the plague.

Owing to the fact that good luck always attends the use of Dr. Price's, it is not essential to use it the moment it is mixed nor is it required to have the oven always just so, as in the case with ammonia or alum powders. It is not luck after all, but the exact accuracy and care exercised in the preparation and combination of all the ingredients of Dr. Price's Cream Baking. Powder. Competent chemists are employed to test the strength and purity of each ingredient. Nothing is trusted to chance. Hence; it is always uniform in its work. House wives never fail to have "good luck" in mak ingmost delicious bread, biscuit, pastry and cakes that remain moist and sweet. Only Baking Powder that con tains the white of eggs. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia, Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned. .

Denver, Sept. 14. Passenger train No. 314, bound toward Denver on the Graymont division of the Union Pacific railway, was wrecked Sunday morning about 1 1 o'clock near Beaver Brook sta tion and twenty-six passengers were in jured, five of whom will probably die The tram was late anu running very rapidly, when rounding a sharp curve the express car left the track and rolled down a fifteen-foot embankment. It was followed by the mail car and two passenger coaches, one of which turned over twice before reaching the bottom. The train was loaded with passengers, many of whom were returning from the Knights of Pythias stats convention at Aspen. When the nows reached Golden. Colo., a wrecking train was ordered out, and was starting when Robert Pruin, an employe of the road, attempted to board the engine, In doing so his re volver fell from his hip pocket. The hammer struck a stone and the weapon was discharged, the ball talcing effect in the man's neck, making a wound which will result fatally. Those seriously in jured in the wreck were left at Golden m the hauu3 of physicians, while those not badly hurt were brought to this city aud taken to their homes or the hos pitals. Tho seriously injured are: Gutchmachkk, Blackhawk, Colo., collar bone broken, back hurt and inter nal injuries. KUMLKIXGEU, merchant of Black hawk, internal injuries. Gi:oi:;e B.

Owen Jones, bruised on head and right side. Gulter, cut iu back of head, ser iously hurt. There are others who were slightly injured but whose names cannot bo learned. It is not known exactly what caused the wreck but as the train was a narrow guage and the coaches very top heavy it is thought that the train was running too rapidly for safety. Vessel and Crew Go Down. London, Spt. 14. The steamihip Ar izona of tho Gnion line which left New York on Saturday, Sept. o, for Liver pool, arrived at Queenstown in a bat tered condition after a perilous voyage across the Atlantic. Early on the morn ing of the 6th, while the Arizona was steaming rapidly in a fog, an unknown sailing vessel, believed to be a large coasting schooner, collided with the Ar izona. The shock was very great and aroused the passengers from their beds. For a time the greatest excitement reigned, until it was found that tho steamer was not, as many feared, about to go to the bottom. The stem of the schooner struck the Arizona's porc qnarter. Thirty feet of rails of the Bteamship deck were carried away and a life boat smashed. The deck was con siderably damaged, and several plates of the vessel's side were badly indented. While the extent of the injury to tho 6teamer was being ascertained life boats were prepared for tho use of tho passengers and every prepa ration possible made for the saving of life in case the steamship should prove a wreck. Fears of such a catastrophe were, however, soon allayed, though it was a long time before the passengers recovered from the shock of their sud den awakening. Search was made for the colliding schooner, but not a sign could be seen, nor was a cry heard. The terrible shock had apparently crushed the sailing vessel in a twinkling, and caused her to founder. Part of tho bowsprit of the schooner remained on the Arizona's deck and other wreckage indicated the fate of tho unfortunate mariners. The Arizona's machinery had not suffered by the collision, and tha voyage was pursued at the usual speed, and without further accident. Four Children Cremated. Wichita, Kan., Sept. 14. Out in Barton county the four children of William Kline, a farmer, were roasted alive. The children had been locked in the house while the father and mother were finishing np their work about tho farm, and the house caught fire. Before the parents reached the scene the flames were ao fierce that entrance was impos sible". The entire structure was burned to tho ground before any search could be made for the remains of the children. None of the children were over 7. A Ploasure Yacht Run Down. New York, Sept. 14. A pleasure yacht containing four persons was run down and sunk in the Arthnr Kills by a steam lighter. Only two of those on board of the yacht were rescued. The others, Hany Fairchild and Walter Dodd, were swept away by the tid and drowned. Albert and Henry Stewart are the survivors. Southern Pacific Train Bobbers. Sax Antonio, Tex., Sept. 14. Tho citizens' posse and the state rangers, who have been pursuing tho five South ern Pacific train robbers, have ended their pursuit and turned the evidence they possessed over to the postal author ities, who will continue the chase. Tho robbers were forced by the closeness of their pursuers - to abandon tho horses and take to the mountains on foot. They are practically helpless without their horses and, it is thought, will soon be captured. All of them are known and bear bad reputations in the district where they belong. 50 and Too Dress Gocds at 25 Cents, 50 and 75c Dress Goods at 25 Cents, -n THE GREATEST SLAUGHTER OF Ever Known in Lincoln County.

KANSAS 10UTGAE3. Ihe Sunflower State Gnttini; Kid of Ilet Secured Indebtedness. Topeka, Sept. 14. The releases of farm mortgages in Kansas during the four months preceding the 1st of Sep tember make a remarkable showing. Tho total mortgages recorded during the period in fifty-four counties are $-l,GS3,S05; released," $6,370,270; excess of releases, $l,GSG,4Go, or 20 per cent. At the same ratio the gain would be in ex cess of 5,000,000 for the year, and for the seventy-four counties east of the 200th meridian it would be $7,000,000. Very little of this excess in releases conies from the sale of this year's croj so that tho total will probably reach $10,000,000 for the present year. T!io I.o.s in Salvador. New Yop.k, Sept. 14. The Herald'3 San Salvador cablegram says that in the city of San Salvador alone forty people wers killed and sixty injured by Wed nesday's earthquake. It is impossible as yet to get the details from the coun try, but as the 3hock at outside poini3 was fully, if not more severe than in tho city, it is feared the loss of life will run into hundreds. The pecuniary loss is enormous. Slight shocks continue to be felt and the inhabitants expect the climax to come Sept. :1. as the equinox exerts great influence on earthquakes. It is leareu the city will be made a total wreck. Another Tascott. Bambury, S. C, Sept. 14. A man supposed to be the notorious William B. Tascott, who murdered the million airo.Amos J.

The man answers almost the description of Tascott. Convict Strike. Sa:; Fkancisco, Sept. M. The con victs at work in the jute mill of the St. Quentin prison struck declaring they would not resume until guaranteed they would be served with bettor food, more tobacco than is now allowed, and that there would be less favoritism sho .vn. After a time a conference was held be tween the prison director and a com mittee representing the strikers. The convicts were told that a refusal to go to work would be punished bv solitary confinement and that none of their de mauds would be acceded to. Tho strik ers then resumed work. Tho Kritlsh Jlinlnter's 1'rotcst and tho 1.1 IIuiijj Chang's Answer. San Francisco, Sept. 14. Tho steamer China arrived from China and Japan, making the trip from Yokohama in twelve days, eleven hours and fifty five minutes. She brings advices from China to August JJ0. The British minis ter, Sir. John Wolsom, made a strong protest against the dilatory manner in which the Chinese government dealt with the recent outbreaks against for eigners and put three questions to the government, asking first, why an edict on the subject of riots was not dis patched through the empire by tele graph; second, why the Wu-Hn magis trate who tried to stop the riots was degraded while his superiors who did nothing were not punished, aud third, why the punishment of the guilty at W usuch was delayed. Li Hung Chang answered these questions as follows; First, it is not the custom of China to send edicts by wire; second, the magis trate was degraded for other reasons, and third, the rioters had been pun ished, two being executed. North China News says tho reply is a palpable evasion and only shows that China cannot be depended upon by the foreign powers. The paper continues: "Meanwhile the powers do not intend to be satisfied with . these replies, and with what has been done by the Chinese government in the way of punishment and reparation. They have sent China what is virtually an ultimatum and will not take any inadequate reply. England's action is understood to be backed by other powers, and it is thought force will be used if China is not conciliatory." A mob of 20,000 persons gathered at Lung Chow, in the province of Hunan, recently and pre- Iv emeu wursmeu irom putting up tele graph lines. Ten thousand poles wer , burned and the workmen driven over tho boundary. A society has been or j ganized to keep the telegraph out. At: VAS I 5 V a 11 cm i IK DEMOS State Convention Delegates Gathering at Saratoga. . FLOWER OR CIIAPIN TO LEAD. Hill's Friends say There's Nothing in : Third Term Talk Prospects for a Bfg Attendance at the Antl-Subtreasurr Convention at St. Louis. Saratoga, N. Y Sept. 14. The Kings county delegates say they are ready for the fray, and intend to stand firmly by their guns, which are all loaded for Chapin for governor. Mr. Flower's friends say that Mayor Chapin is sure of thirty-six votes from Kings county and that is all. There has been some talk about renominating Gover nor Hill for a third term, but warm friends of tho governor say there is nothing m it and that Mr. Flower will certainly be nominated on the first bal lot. Ridgeway of Kings has a chance for second place on the ticket in certain contingencies, but the Sheehan men, who claim the office, say that Ridgeway won't make it. There ap pears to bo no doubt that the second term practice will prevail in the offices of secretary of state and treasurer and that Rice and Danforth will be renomi nated. Should Ridgeway receive the lieutenant governship, Mr. Sheehan will be urged to accept the comptroller ship instead of Frank Campbell of Bath, who was at first booked for tho place. Sheehan's friends, it is believed, will insist that he must have second place. Isaac Maynard, of Albany, has crept up to the top of the list of candi dates for attorney general and appears to have the call on the position despite the efforts which have been put forth by friends of Bulger of Oswego, Rosendale of Albany, and Foley of Saratoga. The last named gentleman says he is not a candidate in the sense of seeking the position, but if it should be tendered to him he will ac cept it. The senator is very popular, and should there beany danger of a con flict his selection would doubtless in sure harmony. John Bogart still ap pears to be the choice for engineer-and surveyor. Tho state committee will meet at the Grand Union hotel at 8 o'clock tonight and there will also be many caucuses during the night and early on Tuesday. It is not now thought the contested cases will delay organiza tion of the convention very materially, and delegates are figuring on but two days' session. Tammany hall, the County Democracy and the Brooklyn, delegation are expected to reach hero about 4 o'clock this afternoon. Secre tary DeFreest, of the state committee, is on the ground and, with hia lieuten ants, is arranging the preliminaries. Most of the delegates are now here and it 13 quite likely the slate will be in defi nite shape before night. Anti-Sub-Treasury Convention. St. Louis, Sept. 14. "The prospect for a large attendance at the anti-sub-treasury convention, which meets in thi3 city tomorrow, is brighter," said Secretary Hall. -Every mail bring letters from several states assuring me that their respective Alliances will be represented by some of their ablest men.
