Most Astrocious Massacre Yet Reported in Macedonia--Ten Thousand People Butchered. The British steamship F.oxby, Cap tain Shields, which arrived at Norfolk, Va., Thursday morning from Port in glis, had on board Domingo Ballo Rey arberay, one of the sur’-.vors of the crew of twenty-two on the British steamship Mexicano, which foundered with ail on board off the South Caro lina coast Tuesday night. Reyar’o-3- ray caught a piece of wreckage and managed to keep up until he was seen by the Roxby and rescued. The Spaniard, through an interpre ter, told of the Mexicano’s sinking. The steamer was bound from Tampico for Vera Cruz with a cargo of petro leum in bulk when the full force of the hurricane broke upon her. Moun tainous seas broke constantly over the ship and finally one gigantic wave crashed through her decks. The fire room was flooded and the Mexicano became heiple3s. For a few moments fc-he wallowed in the trough of the seas, and then plunged to the bottom. The rescued man says hundreds of gallons of oil were poured over the ship’s side in an attempt to calm the sea, and, if possible, save the ship. When the Mexicano went down the crew went with her. All boats had long since been crushed by the force of the waves and the men powerless to save themselves. Reyarberay went under with the vessel and by morest chance became entangled in some loose rig ging and spars. The buoyancy of these brought him to the surface and he made himself fast to the largest spar. For seven hours ho floated in the turbulent sea until finally the Rox by hove in esight. His rescue was a daring one. The Mexicano sailed from Tampico Monday. She was last repo‘ted as be ing bound front Marcus Hook to Tam pico August 1!). Her captain was Vt. S. King.

ED’S CABINET Chamberlaiu, Decide teffiet DIFFERENCE AS TO POLICY 9 Chamberlain Writes Premier Balfour a Letter Explaining His Action. Resignations Accepted. A London special says: The resig nation of Joseph Chamberlain as sec tetary for the colonies; C. T. Ritchie, as chancellor of the exchequer, and Lord George Hamiltoa, as secretary for India, were officially announced Thursday evening. King Edward has accepted the resignations. The official announcement of the re signations of Mr. Chamber'ain and two other members of the cabinet, which were announced by the Associate 1 I-Te&s earlier in the day, was mala late Thursday night at Downing street in the following communication: ‘‘The following ministers have offe"- cd their resignations, which hare been accepted by the king: “Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary for the colonies; Right Hon. .0. T. Ritchie, ehancello- of the ex chequer, and Lord George Hamilton, secretary for India. "The accompanying correspondence passed between the premier, Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, and Mi. Chamber lain.” Then follows Mr. Chamberlain’s let ter. dated Birmingham, September 0. commencing: “My Dear Balfour,” in which ho sets forth his reasons for his resignation. A feature of the letter is the following statement concerning a preferential tariff: “For the present, at any rate, a preferential agreement with our colo nies involving any new duty, however small, on articles of food hitherto un taxed. even if accompanied by a re duction of taxation on other articles of fool equally universal in their con sumption, would be unacceptable io the majority of the constituencies However much we may regret the de cision, however mistaken we may think it, no good government in a dem ocratic country ean ignore it. I feel, therefore, that as an immediate prac tical policjl the question of prefer ence to the colonies cannot be press ed with any hope of success at the present time, although there is a very strong feeling in favor of the other branch of fiscal reform which would give fuller discretion to the govern ment in negotiating with foreign coun tries for a freer exchange o.” commodi ties and which would enaVe our repre sentatives to retaliate if no concession was made to our j list demands. “If, as I believe, you share these view’s, it seems to me tl at you will be absolutely justified i’t adopting them as the policy of your government, although it will necessarily involve some changes in its constitution. As secretary for the colonie.. during the last eight years, I have been in a spe cial sense the representative of the policy of a closer union which I firm ly believe to be equally recessary >n the interests of the colon.es and our selves.” Liberals Will Return to Power. The retirement of Colonial Secreta ry Chamberlain which precipitates the most dramatic crisis and ihe bitterest party struggle since his secession from Gladstone's home rule cabinet was un known and unsuspected in London un til the official announcement was is sueiT late Thursday night. As iO the reconstruction of the cabi net* no great interest i» excited, al though the political prophets are al ready busy appointing Austen Cham berlain chancellor of the exchequer, the earl of Selborne as secretary for the colonies, etc., because i is recog nized as impossible that an appeal to the country can be much longer de layed, and the general opinion is that in the present shattered conditions of the unionist party the liberals will be returned to power.

The vessel was bound from Galves ton to Hamburg via Newport News, with miscellaneous freight. CONDEMNS SPECTACULAR WEDDINGS. New York World Comments on Collapsed Newfangled Matrimonial Miair. The New York World w:f Friday morning contained the following- edito rial on the Lane-Rbs&man marriage, the original plan of which was chang ed by the bishop of the diocese: “A Brooklyn wedding ceremony which gave promise of remaining long notable in the annals of spectacular matrimony, because of the unique na ture of some of its features, has, per force, been made conventional and disappointing. The bishop of the dio cese interfered to stop a display whicn, in his view, would be discreditable to the church in which it was to take place. “At this very modern wedding, it was designed to replace tuo time:hon ored matrimonial music with a newer fangled program. We are not sure whether ’The Voice that Breathed O’er Eden’ was to be cut out, but the Loh engrin bridal chorus was to give way to ‘Dixie,’ played on the chimes. Over the chancel rail an ‘L’ and tan ‘R’ in electric light, the initials of bride and bridegroom, were to blaze out, and as the couple were pronounced ipan and wife, the ‘R’ was to deepen }n glow, dimming the ‘L’ into insignificance. It was to be a display very creditable to the electrical expert who was jo have charge of the switchboard, Lut the bishop’s ban spoiled it all. V “The honors of vaudeville matri mony are thus, left with the brides who took their life partners for better or worse in the lion’s cage or up in a bal loon. And it is better so. The church is no place for freak marriage ceremo nies.” ■ BRITISHERS WERE TAKEN BY SURPRISE. Three Resignations from King Edward’s Cabinet Created Consternation. A London special says: Consterna tion and excitement caused by the ',dra rnatie announcement of Joseph Cham berlain’s resignation of the secretary ship for the colonies prevailed among all classes in the United Kingdom r .o the exclusion of every other topic.

The Pall Mall Gazette of Friday af ternoon sums up the general feeliui by describing the present crisis fisj ‘The most extraordinary in Hie hisi tory of the government,” adding “what will happen no one can fore-i cast with any degree of certainty.” WOMEN MURDERED WHILE ASLEEP.
