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.

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.

GOOD LUCK.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is often called the
Good-Luck Baking Powder.
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

Owen Jones, bruised on head and right

Gulter, cut iu back of head, ser

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.

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.

there would be less favoritism sho .vn.
After a time a conference was held be

confinement and that none of their de
mauds would be acceded to. Tho strik

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

Ridgeway won't make it. There ap

that Rice and Danforth will be renomi

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.

St. Louis, Sept. 14. "The prospect
for a large attendance at the anti-sub-treasury

tion will not only be the largest gather
ing of farmers ever had in this country,
but will contain a number of the "brain
iest men in the Union."
