twenty-four hours ending at 6 o’clock to
night is as follows:

M. Somerville of St. Nicholas.
HAZEN FAILS TO RETURN.
Ilazon, the returned refugee who ran the
wtocknde Thursday, did not come to town
from Burnside beach to-day, notwithstand
ing that his lawyers advised him to make a
test case. Public 'minion is averse to refugees
returning and Hazen discreetly remained
away. Mayor Gerow said to the News’
correspondent to-day: “It is a good ttiiug
for Hazen that he didn’t come into town
this morning for we would have stuck it to
him heavy. Wo won’t stand any fooling
from refugees who try to come back with
out proper permission. lam doing what is
best for the city, and the people here are
back of me,and with the right on my side I
intend to enforce the law. Refugees are
thus given timely warning.”
HOW THE CITIZENS FEEL.
Mayor Gerow’s stand is indorsed by the
public. They don’t want any prolongation
of the epidemic, and the people must keep
out until all danger is passed.
Miss Mamie Sedgwick, a popular,
wealthy and pretty LaVilla belle, was i>lur
ried last night to Haywood Harris, a clerk
In Fretob’s cigar store.
The restaurant and medical bureau closed
to-day.
William Hainey, who was critically ill
yesterday, has taken a turn for the better.
South Jacksonville, the last suburb to
have yellow fever, appears to have a more
malignant typo than any of the other sub
urbs of Jacksonville.
HARRY MINER’S NURSES PAID.
Harry Miner’s nurses were paid on an
average about $75 eaen yesterday, and told
that no more would be given them. Many
have left town. Saunders, the ex-attache
of the medical bureau, who was arrested
at Atlanta on a charge of having robbed
the medical bureau of a quantity of jewelry,
etc., will not reach this city until Monday.
The cause of the delay lies in the fact that
the requisition papers had to be sent here so
that the clerk of the circuit court could
affix his signature to them.
DESOLATION AT NIGHT.
A walk about town after 7 o’clock at night
will satisfy any one of the city’s utter deso
lation at night. In a stroll from Julia aud
Liberty streets, eight blocks, last night, the
places of business found open were four bar
rooms, one restaurant, one drug store and
one jewelry store. Two colored and one
white man were seen on Hogan, between
Bay and Union streets. Many of those who
have had yellow fever are very careful
about venturing out after nightfall.
MAYPORT NOT INFECTED.
The message of Dr. Porter to Surgeon
General Hamilton, put on tiie wires last
night from Washington to the effect that
yellow fever had developed in Mayport,
did not give full information. There is
no yellow feVer there. A man running on
a small towboat contracted the fever in
Jacksonville and took to bed in
a small house over a mile
below Mayport. He was promptly
removed to Jacksonville, as were also all
the other inmates of the house. His home
is isolated, a mile of sand dunes separating
it from the town, and the people do not
look upon it as anything serious. Many do
not know it at all", although no efforts of
concealment were made. Mayport is per
fectly healthy, In the executive committee
meeting to-day representatives of the as
sociation of Fornandina were present.
They came to see what further aid might
bo given from Jacksonville. Three thous
and dollars was voted them. This is all
Jacksonville can do. All sides are satis
fied.

a coil of rope. Capt. J. Pearcy, the war

letter from one of the convicts, and had
stationed extra guards on the roof and
about the yard. Guards Robert Burnet
and Charles Corbin were stationed near

seven men had come out, when they ordered
them to halt.

Jail for Contempt.

Keely-motor fame, was to-day sent to
prison for contempt of court for refusing
the court’s orders to make a proper descrip
tion of his machine for use in the suits
pending against him. He claimed that the
description he prepared was the best he
could do; that it was intelligible to one of
the commissioners appointed by tho court
to examine it, and that it was no fault of
his that the other two commissioners and
the judge of tho court could not compre
hend it.
THE ONLY RECOURSE.
The only course that Keely’s counsel can
now pursue is to carry the case to the
Pennsylvania supreme court and ask for an
entire review of the proceedings and a re
versal of the decision of the lower court.
He will bo kept in confinement until he
shall purge himself of the charge of con
tempt, or shall be released on a writ of
habeas corpus.

EUROPE’S WAR RUMORS
EMPEROR WILLIAM’S SPEECH EX
PECTED TO BE PACIFIC.
Some Restlessness in High Official
Circles In Berlin and Uneasiness in
Financial Quarters—An Alliance Be
tween Russia, France and Spain
Hinted at as an Offset to the Cen
tral European Alliance.
Copyrighted by Sew York Associated /Vi ns.
Berlin, Nov. 17. —The emperor's sp icb
at the opening of the Reichstag Thursday,
is awaited with an exciting interest, arising
from the revival of the war alarm. Official
opinion is that, although no unusual pomp
will attend the ceremony, the emperor will
open the Reichstag in person. If the tone
of the semi-official press were his guido, his
speech would plainly remind Germans that
they should bo on the alert, menaced as
they are by powerful military neighbors
on both sides. But the semi-official pre -s
do not this time, represent official opinion.
BOMB RESTLESSNESS IN HIGH CIRCLES.
There certainly is some restlessness in
high circles and uneasiness in financial
quarters, but it will surprise both if tho
emperor’s speech does not tend to ions ura
them in regard to his pacific intentions. It
will allude to the results of the imperial
policy in cementing the tripartite
alliance, and will probably be suffused
throughout with a spirit of
optimism which ought to extinguish
the new war scare. It will otherwise lie
rather barren of interest. Allusions willlsi
made to the army and navy administration,
colonial development and the Bisinarok-
Salisbury agreement in regard to the sup
pression of the slave trade. Some projects
of important internal bearing will fill up
the measure of imperial references.
BUSINESS OF THE REICHSTAG.
The lieichstag will first appoint a presi
dent to succeed Baron Wedell-Pusdorf, who
will be made minister of the royal house
hold on the advent of the emperor. Horr
Von Levetzow, who filled the office from
1881 to 1884, will probably be his successor.
Herr Von Levetzow is now landes director
of the province of Brandenburg. He is a
conservative and left a fine record for
capacity as president during the years he
filled the office. The prospects arc that the
session will be pacific and uneventful.
Brisk party encounters are likely to occur
over the colonial policy, the progressists
and socialists combining in hostile criticism.
The center will join with the nationalists
and conservatives in their support of the
government, especially in relation to the
slave trade blockade.
MENACED BY RUSSIA.
The new Russian loan is fast raising dis
content among tho German bourses. Re
ports of an alliance between France, Russia
and Spain, ami rumors of Russian troops on
tho frontiers of Germany, are phenomena
which are associated with the Russian loan.
Another tripartite alliance against the Cen
tral European alliance of Geroianv, Austria
and Italy nasnot yet been achieved, but it is
aimed at in Minister Goblet’s speech before
the Chamber of Deputies in defense of the
Vaticati. The speech was meant to allure
Catholic Spain toward sympathetic
neutrality, if not an actual alliance with
France.
BERLIN UP TO SNUFF.
The Berlin foreign office is quite alive to
the growing understanding between France
and Spain, but an eventual alliance of the
two countries is doomed very improbable.
In regard to the movements of Russian
troops, the Cologne Gazette, in a semi-offi
cial communication, says:
The scope of the new Russian military orders
cannot be accurately known until war exports,
having clear data on the matter, can pronounce
upon it. The reasons published at Ht. Peters
burg for a redistribution of the army feebly try
to conceal the truth, but in Berlin they are esti
mated at their true value.
RUSSIA’S RUSHING LEGIONS.
The fact that Russia is pushing fresh
divisions toward the frontier of Germany
demands keen attention, although men of
business need not discover in these move
ments any immediate threat against Eu
pean peace. The Cologne Gazette
aud other papers show the same uneasiness,
although they concur in considering
it improbable that Russia will openly
hasten forward her war preparations at
the very moment she is appealing for anew
loan. Nevertheless, the money market does
not like to see Russia borrowing money.
The bourse in Paris does not consider the
loan an unmixed evil, since it is arranged
to use one-tbird of the whole amount for
conversion. This fact modifies the hostility
to the loan in Berlin, still no subscription
list will be opend in Berlin and Frankfort.
ADVISED TO UNLOAD ON PARIS.
On the contrary, the semi-official press
advises investors to unload o i Paris. It is
hoped that the reopening of the French
murket to Russian loans will facilitate the
sales of German holders. Tho Post issues
a warning against investments by Germans
in Russian bonds. The paper concludes
that the purpose of this loan is to strengthen
Russian credit and encourage the belief
that her permanent policy will be pacific,
so that she may ere long raise a
lerger loan designed for war pur
poses. Already during the week largo
amounts of Russian stocks have b en trans
ferred in Paris, where buyers appear to be
influenced by other than business ideas.
A spirit akin to the mad excitement rela
tive to the Panama canal speculation in
cites the French investor to risk his money
in favor of his beloved ally. Russian se
curities have fallen seven-eighths per centum
hero since Thursday.
FIGHTING AFRICA’S SLAVIC TRAFFIC.
The German and English consular au
thorities in Zanzibar are about to issue
similar proclamations forbidding German
and English subjects to contract with
slave owners for the supply of slave labor.
This edict will be difficult of enforcement,
as there are a number of ports and stations
where the status of the meo hired for the
work is doubtful.
Consul Vobsen, agent of tho German
East African Company, at Zanzibar, has
withdrawn his resignation. Other officia is
who have had their hope# quickened by the
Anjjlo-Gernian agreement, will remain at
their posts also.
EXPLORER REICHART OBJECTS.
Paul Reichart, tho African traveller has
a vigorous article in the Deulchr lVochen
blatt, a free conservative organ in Rvhich he
criticises tho inactivity of the German gov
ernment at the outbreak of the natives
in the recent insurrection on the coast.
Herr Reichart is no friend of the Anglo-
German compact. He profors to see the
Germans act independently.
The Wochenblat t draws tho government's
attention to the statements, and demands
that it explain why the cruiser Moewe lay
passive at anchor off Kilwa, while two
German officials of the East African Com
pany were being murdered.
The National Gazetta In tho same strain
says that the admiralty must institute an
inquiry into the matter.
Expelled from Prusela.
Paris, Nov. 17. — La Franca announces
that its Berlin correspondent. Robert Pye,
has been expelled from Prussia.
LORD CHURCHILL’S ALL RIGHT.
A Candid Admission that Sackville
Deserved what He Got.
London, Nov. 17. Lord Randolph
Churchill iu a speech at Paddington to-day
expressed a hope that tho post of minis er
at Washington would soon be filled. He
said there was no doubt that Lord Sack
ville had been primarily indiscreet and had
made uu inexcusable blunder. No fault
could be found with the action of the
United States government toward the
minister.
AMERICANS JUST AND PROUD
The American people were essentially
just and proud in their relations with other
countries. He deprecated the insulting ami
menacing articles which had appeared in
the English press since Lord nackville’s
dismissal, and said that Englishmen ought
to inform Amerioins that they cherish no
ill feeling toward them. [Cheers.]
IMPORTANCE OF FRIENDLINESS.
Lord Randolph attached the greatest im
portance to the maintenance by England of
an imperturbable and friendly attitude to
ward the United States. Ho regarded the
attitude taken by President Cleveland after
tho rejection of tho li-hery treaty by
tho Senate. a-: an unfortunate one. Tho
utmost allowance ought to be made for tho
American position on the Kuckvillo affair
in view of th > lime at which it occurred.
President Cleveland’s action has been
rather sharp, but it did not justify the
menaces, sneois aud sulks iu w hich news
papers of England had indulged.
WAR WOULD BE ATROCIOUS.
War between England and America, he
declared, would be more atrocious and dan
gerous than any war since God created tho
earth. He trusted that the government’s
policy toward the new Washington admin
istration would be conceived with a view
to making the American people our best
allies in all questions atul to
producing a durable friendship
between the English speaking races, thus
guaran'eeing to humanity in turn the blow
ings of liberty and peace. Lord Randolph
approved of the government; taking meas
ures to repress crime in Ireland, and
strongly advocated restriction of the traflic
in intoxicating drink.
AN APPEAL FOR PARNELL.
More Money Urgently Needed for the
Defense Fund.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 17. —A circular
has been addressed by President Fitzgerald
to various bran ches of the Irish National
League, appealing for further contributions
to tho Parnell defense fund, which he asks
to have remit ed to Dr. O’Reilly, at
Detroit. Mr. Fitzgerald says the urgency
is very great. “Ireland speaks by
the voice of Charles Stewart Parnell. He
asks assistance more for the cause of the
motherland than the cause of personal
defense. He asks your help in the name of
the living and by the memory of the dead.
I will answer for you—you never failed
Ireland in the past, and you will not fail
her now.”
GLADSTONE SARCASTIC.
Mr. Gladstone writes that he is perfectly
willing that the conservatives should settle
the Irish question instead of the liberals.
He says the temper of the liberal unionists
is the greatest obstacle in the way of the
adjustment of the difficulty.
MUST SHOW TWENTY WILSONS.
Numa Gilly Given a Chance to Provo
His Bold Statement.
Paris, Nov. 17.—Tho trial of Numa
Gilly, radical member of the chamber of
deputies, for libel, was begun to-day at
Nimos. The suit was brought by M. Au
drieux. M. Gilly had made charges of
malfeasance and corruption against the
budget committee, and had declared in a
speech that there wore twenty Wilsons in
the committee, and that M. Andrieux was
ac ing in conjunction with them.
Before tho case was opened to-day a great
crowd assembled in front of tho palaeo utf
justice, and such was their eagerness to get
into the court room that they finally burst
iu the doors.
Tne trial proved a fiasco. M. Gillv re
fused to offer any defense. He said his
attack was not made upon M. Andrieux,
but upon the members of the budget com
mittee. M. Andrieux thereupon withdrew
his charge, and M. Gilley was acquitted.
GOVERNORS OF COLONIES.
New Zealand and New South Wales
Stand by Queensland.
London, Nov. 17.—Dispatches from Aus
tralia show that the people of New South
Wales and New Zealand are of the same
mind with tho people of Queensland on the
right of a colony to be consulted regarding
the choice of governor, and that they ap
prove tho stand taken by Queensland in
protesting against tne appointment by the
home government of u man who is held by
the colonists to be unfitted for the office.
BOARDING OF THE BRABO.
The Independence Beige Thinks the
Action was Quixotic.
Brussels, Nov. 17.—The Independence

Neither Gen. Harrison nor Mr. Ifiuine is
believed to desire this. Senator Frye has
said that he does not desire a cabinet place,

Senator Hale has twice declined cabinet

Men at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Nov. 17. —The parade of
the republican clubs hero to-night in cele
bration of the party’s victory was a great
success, and Vice President-elect Morton,
who reviewed the procession, was given an
enthusiastic ovation hv the 25,000 men in

succeeded in forcing their way to within

a number of clubs from near by cities and
towns took part in the demonstration.
GOTHAM’S BANKERS AND BROKERS.
Among tho visitors, the body of men
which received the greatest attention from
tho applauding spectators was the Hankers’
and Brokers’ Club of New York, who
marched to tho number of 250 behind the
inspiring music of Gilmore’s band. Music
was plentiful in the lino, and many protty
banners were carried, but the inscriptions
thereon were exceptionally moderate in
tone for such an occasion. This was ac
counted for by an order issued by the chief
marshal prohibiting the carrying of any
improper or unseemly political caricatures
derogatory to the opposition or their candi
dates.
