The others - gathered in ominous groups and, there T was every evideuce of trouble brew- ing. ,Forerman Milling aeked if they were going to work, and received the reply that the men wanted 15 cents an hour. This they were refused, and Agent Coram, Who had by this time arrived on the scene, drew the atten- tion of the naen to the provision in their agreement when they were em- ployed, that they should give 15 daya notice. •'PETITIONED A MONTH AGO. Queensland has voted on the federa- tion question, the latest returns show- ing 31,500 for and 27,000 against fed- eration.

At Port au Prince, Hayti, an incen- diary fire resulted in the destruction of 20 buildings. Two members of the fire department were injured. The Chinese Foreign Office has offer- ed the Italians mining rights in the Ning-Hai District, but the grant is entirely unsatisfactory to Italy, and is likely to cause complioations. The idea of boycotting the Paris Ex- position is widely broaclied in Europe in the press comments on the Dreyfus verdict, and . overt steps to that end have already been taken in ,one or Iwo quarters. The Russian Government has order- ed from San Francisco American tim- ber and lumber for construction, work incident to the building of the new City of Delay, on the Arctio ooast of Russia. The Swiss Government has ordered the Serum Inetitute at Berne to make and. distribute the bubonic pest serum in sufficient quantities throughout the cantons, as a precaution against a possible outbreak of the plague.

The marauders, who all escaped., are being hotly pursued by mounted police. DEATH OF VANDERBILT. Sudden Death of Cornelius the Elder — Stricken Curing the Night. A despatch from New York says:— Cormilius Vanderbilt, died at his'home at 57th street and Fifth avenue, this city, between five and six o'clock on Tuesday morning. Conflicting reports of his sudden illness and death, have been current: The subjoined authorit- ative statement was made by Chaun- cey M. Depew :—" Mr. Vanderbilt left Newport at 1 o'clock Monday after- noon to attend a meeting of the New York Central and New York and New Haven railroads. He gob e home about a o'clock, and retired at 10, feeling well. He fell asleept and. slept until between 5 and 6 o'clock Tuesday morning. He then awoke, and calling Mrs. Vander- bilt, told her he was very. ill. She aroused the household, and sent for physicians. Mr. Vanderbilt died before any doctor arrived." For the reason that no physician had been in immedi- ate attendance, M. Depew notified the coroner's office. • Cornelius Vanderbilt was the eldest son of the late William H. Vanderbilt, and was born on Staten Island, Nov. 27, 1843. Death was caused by a stroke of paralysis, the second that' he suffered. The first atta,cle was in July, 1896. The patient was semi-conscious until the end. MR. VANDERBILT'S MONEY. A Fortune Estimated at From Eighty lo Two itundred Millions All la Mail - ways. A aesp,etcb from New York save-- While it is generally' known that Mt. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who died on 1Tuesday, was an enormously rich man, yet little is known ,of Ins actaal for- tune, say The Tribune. He was a most reticent man about his private af- fairs. His fortune has been various- ly eptimate.d. at all the way from $80,- 000,000, to $200,000,000. It was moetly in railway stooks, bonds and securi- ties. He was not interested to any great extent in any • of the new in- dustrial compenies that have been formed, and, in fact, had no holdings f moment he any corporation aside rom tailwaye. He was the largest tockholder in the New & Har- em Railroad, and owned a big major - by of the stooks and boads of that •oaci, Ile was a large owner of New York Cental stock. He also owned a arge amoant of stock in the Michigan Central Railroad, the Lake Shore & fiekegan Southern, the Chiertgo & Northwestern, the Big Four, the New York, New Hoven & Hartford and the Canada Southern. While he ownee toelt in perhaps half a hundred rail - • corporations, yet hs largest hold- ngs were irt these comp; 'lies, It ans n these oorporatione Oita he took an active interest and with which his name Was most closely allied, The men replied that they consider- ed a petition which they had present-. od a month agc:i for an Merease to • the demand of to -day fully covered the 'notice, and they refused to go to work. • At noun the 30 truckers who had taken, out th.eir cheeks in the morning refused to go to work again, In the xo.eantiene the big liner Manitoba, w,hich had also been blockaded, arriv- ed down with' a fun cargo, while the 'big carrier john. Pridgeon, jr., of the Gladstoae line, which had arrived in during the night, increased the diffi- culty, a coal vessel ilrom Cleveland en- larging the fleet to five waiting to be unloade.d. • No more inopportune time for the company oould have been taken by the men, as there is fully 10,000 tons of freight at this port ready to be un- loaded and loaded. The local officials are very reticent, and it is not known what will be the outcome. The men, however, express themselves as deter- mined not to work for less than the amoiunt asked for,in view of the fact i ,that laborers are n demand. FAILED TO CRACK THE PLATE. • interesting Experiments With New Arm. our or itritish Warthips. A despatch from Landon says ;—In- tetesting experiments with a new arm- our plate for warstaps have 'just been concluded at Shoeburyness, at the mbneh of the Thames. The outer plate six inches thick, is made el the best steel, the backing consisting of enspe- • iosiabing lteompkoespittio:asetchi0etaature of ;which -New plates were fired at 'meth a 350 - patina projectile at a distance 02 200 yards. Who black powder was used the armour plate was, after several shots, found to be practically uninjur- ed. The shot was in some instances reduped to powder by the (force of the impact. With cordite it was found that the outer plate could be penetrated three inches, and under certain cir- cumstances the shot went right through, but the severest tests 'failed to crack the plate. In naval warfare, a hole made by a shot below the waterline can always be plugged up, but cracked and split anuoter plates necessitate dry-docking and new plates. Wthen twe shots were fired. simul- taneously, hitting the plate two feet • apart, there was still no sign of' frac- ture. NO GAMBLING AT DAWSON NOW. The Police Peremptorily Stopped BusinesS lit the Dens. • A despatchfrom Vancouver, B. C'., says :—..Gambling has been peremptor- ily stopped. in the northern cities, and recent arrivals from Skaguay and Dawson say that not a card is turned now in the gambling dens of either place. , In. Skaguay it was stopped only ten days ago, while the movement started earlier at Dawson.. It is re- lated that the police gave orders for every table to be shut down, and then proceeded to see that their orders were carried oiat. At one place two well-known oard men insisted that they would play. They were in a large room where 20 or 30 other men were looking on, and the police officer who had the establish- ment in hand realized that it was only by strong and prompt action that he could make his presence felt. He drew his revolver and marched every- one out of the room. The game was not played. • HOUSES -CAttilIED AWAY. Cyclone Sweeps Over the tattllli Of A despatch from islan.d of Bermuda, says :—A cycloin.e swept over this is- land on Tuesday night. Houses were blown down, and others were unroof- ed. The City hall, public gardens, and h,otels, and several public and private dwellings were also damaged, and numerous small craft in the har- bor were sunk or driven ashore. The dock -yard is damaged to the extent of $100,000. The storm was the worst knotvn here since the hurrieane of 1880. La fact, many- of the inhabit- ants say it exceeded tha gate of that year. ese-- WILL ABOL18,1 THE 13USBY, lite Imposing Headgear of Mc British Guards is Doomed'.

The gird Turned on nut Cols and Its Mis- tress Was AsithYxlated• A despatch from Washington says: —Miss Alice Knott, 21 years old, was found dead in bed on Wednesday after- noon at her home in this city, as the result of an ant ofher parrot in turn- ing. on the gas. The bird was found in the room, lying upon the floor, with its bill near the aperture beneath the door. It evidently was endeavouring to get what little air it could. While' :me dead the pet was in a serious condi- tion. Miss Knott was preparing for a Civ- il Service examination, and. had re- mained indoors recently most of the time. Her parent had a habit of fol- lowing her /about the house, and when resting, was ,ancustomed to perch upon Um gas fixtures. Several timers, it is stated, the bird had extracted thetips and turned on the gas. It was per- mitted, to enjoy the freedom of the house, but was usually watched care- fully. RATE MADE TWO CENTS. An Important Announcement Made by the Post Once Department. :A despatch from Ottawa says :—The important announcement is made by the Post -office Department that on and after October lst, the suburban letter rate of one cent per ounce will be abolished, and the letter rate made uniformly two cents per ounce for the whole of Canada. There has always existed a doubt since the abelition of the drop -letter system whether, under the Act, the department had the power to permit a one -cent rate to suburban offices, and is is now proposed to abolish it. REPLY POST -CARDS IN ENGLAND. The Post -office Department has been advised by the Imperial authorities that the Canadian reply post -card will be recognized in England if each card bears a two -cent stamp. There is no two -cent reply post -card issued by the Dominion Post -office Department, and it will, therefore, be necessary for parties desiring to use this class of communication to affix an additional one -cent stamp to each card. LARGER STAFF BY 10000. Enormous Increase in the Postal Business of Britain. A despatch from London says :—Post- masteri-General, the Duke of Norfolk has shown a profit of nearly $18,000,000 on the working of the British Post - office for the year ending last Mardi.. The number of postal. packages of ev- ery kind delivered during the year was 3,4i6,000,000. London received 28 per cent. of the total of letters posted. The thrift of the working classes is shown in •the increase of Post -office Savings Bank deposits, which now stand at $615,000,000. There was an increase of 5 per cent. in telegrams. The staff of the Post -office was in- creased by 10,000 during the year, and now stands at 160,000, of whom 32,000 %re women. FELL DEAD AT THE STATION. Sudden Demise of John Barwick, Brumbn A despatch from Drumbo, Ont., says: —John Barwick, postmaster of this vil- lage for a number ot years, died sud- denly on Wednesday afternoon, at the C.P.R. station. The deceased, who was upwards of 80 years of age, was in the a.ct of speaking to the C.P.R. agent, when he fell to the floor, expiring in a few minutes.
