Paris, Nov. 21.—Advices recetved here this morning from Lens, near Arras,in the de- partment of Pas De Calais, where from 86,000 to 40,000 miners are out on strike, show that the situation is growing hourly more danger- ously serious. A meeting ot the miners’ del- egates to be held to-morrow is of the utmost importance to all concerned in the strike and the decision arrived at then will possibly decide the question as to whether or not the Pas De Calais is to witness a series of bloody riots. The strikers inthe department have, it is understood, already received substantial sums of money from the sympathizing coal miners in England and elsewhere; The Government is being kept well informad as to what transpires, and has steadily, but with- out attracting attention, sent troops tothe scene of the trouble in order to protect the property of the mine owners. The miners are animated by the most bitter feeling against the men who have remained at work, and against those who have taken the places of the strikers. In fact threats are ex- pressed that the strikers, supported by their friends and relatives, will on Monday next, make a combined simultaneous and deter- mined attempt to drive the scabs away from the mines. Should these fhreats be carried out, or should the strikers attempt any open violence, there may be considerable trouble and bloodshed. The mines are already protected by small detachments of troops, and several collisions have already taken place between the soldiers protecting the workers, and the strikers, who seem determined to stop all work in the mines at any cost to themselves and to their families. The Government, desirous above all to maintain peace, has made several offers to legislate in favor of the strikers should the latter be able to prove the justness of their cause, but the Government insists, as one of the conditions of this legislation, thot the strikers must resume work and re- frain from all violence. a M. Basley, the Socialist deputy, in an inter - view to-day said he is of the opinion that the miners willnat accept the Government’s latest proposition, whichis that the whole matter in dispute between the strikers and their employers should be settled by arbitra- tion. Thistsone of the important subjects N which will be decided at tha ot — miners’ delegates to be hel at Lens to-morrow (Sunday). TROUBLE IN MADAGASCAR. PROTECTORATE OVER THE ISLANDS DISPUTED BY THE NATIVES, Parts, Nov. 21.—Advices received here from Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, state that the. relations between the French residental general and the Malagassy au- thorities, which bave been strained for some time past, have reached a point where a rup- ture may be looked for, By thetermsof the Anglo-French agreement with respect to ter- litorles in Africa, France, in return for rec- ognizing the British protectorate of Zanzibar, r-ecived from Great Britian a recognition of the protectorate of Madagascar established by France, and conceded the latter nation’s demand that the exequaturs of British Con- sulsand agents must be applied for through the Intermediary: of the French Resident- Generalin Madagascar, The Malagassy Gov- nent refused to acknowledge the right of the hesident-Generalto issue exequaturs to foreign representatives, It claims that this rigit is inherent in the Government and per- Sists in the refusal to recede from this posi- The French are equally determined to ntain what they claim as their and as no satisfactory solution the difficulty can be arrived ', it is feared that serious developments | result, Among the French possessions Madagascar is Diego Suarez Bay, which he French compelled the Malagassy Govern- ent to give to them for a naval station upon the conclusion of the war waged by France avainst Madagascar in 1833-35. France sub- sequently erected a number of forts at this place and so serious is the present outlook that these @efences are being greatly strenghtened against any contingency that may arise. A French cruiser that is now ly- FRENCH tect French interests, and altogether the ad- Vices received here show that unless some arrangements is speedily arrived at a war may be expected. THE DOMINION. REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF INDUSTRIES—LORD STANLEY WILL RESIGN. Toronro, Ontario, Nov. 21.—The report of the Bureau of Industries issued yesterday ows that the yield of grain in Ontario this ar is extraordinarily large. Fall wheat \vcrages from twenty-five to thirty bushels per acre in many sections and weighs from ty to sixty-six pounds per bushel, Spring Wheat and oats are also far above the aver- age. The crops of wheat, spring and fall, are estimated at 82,584,026 bushels, nearly halt as much again as the crop of 1890. The oat crop exceeds the light one of last year by more than 22,000,000 bu, while the average per acre is the highest in ten years. The crops are enormous, but potatoes are dam- aged by rot, The acreage of barley sown is 145,000 acres less than last year, yet the crop is 541,737 bu larger, owing to the great yield of 29.2 bu per acre. The acreage sown in fall Wheat this fall is 15 percent greater than that sown in the fall of 18990, but the pros- pects of the yield are hardly as good as they Were last year. A report is current that Lord Stanley will resign the Governor hip next month. It is understood that he and Lady Stanley find their position here very irk some, and would be glad to leave.

O’Shea in a letter published this morning denies that the Wood will case has been compromised as previously announced. He says that the case heads the jury list and that it wilP be heard about the middle of January. The announcement of the Russian prohibi- tion against the export of wheat, influenced the market for American raiJroad securities, which became strong. The miners employed at the mines of Lord Rossyln in Scotland, have struck for an ad- vance of a shilling a day. Mr. George McQueen,the Cunard Steamship Co. 's agent at Queenstown, died to-day of Brights disease of the kidneys. The Rev. Dr. Clutterbuck, who swindled several persons of his congregation by induc- ing them to purchase worthless securities, pleaded guilty to-day and was sentenced to four years penal servitude. His total swind- lings amounted to £35,000. The most of the money he lost in heavy gambling. THE IMPERIAL UKASE. EXPORTATION OF WHEAT FROM RUSSIA PROHIB- ITED—GENERAL FOREIGN. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 21.—Contrary to the announcement made a few days ago that nothing further would be done in connection with the question of exporting wheat from Russia untilthe Czar’s return from Lividia early in December, a ukase from His Majesty was issued to-day prohibiting the export of wheat and wheat products from Russia. This prohibition, which will go into effect on Mon- day next, will be executed under the same conditions as those governing the prohibi- tion recently decreed against the export of oats. It is expected that the exportation of horses to Austria and Germany will be pro- hibited. This and the prohibition of the ex- portation of wheat are regarded as having military significance. IN THE LONDON MARKET. LONDON, Nov. 21.—Foreign Government se- curities were firm at the opening of the stock market to-day, and remained so until it be- came known that Russia had finally issued the long threatened ukase prohibiting the export of wheat from that coun- try. A relapse then occurred. Russians opened at an advance of u, but closed at a fractional decline from the opening quota- tions. Brazilian securities, however, ad- vanced a point. American railroad stocks showed an all-round advance at the close as a result of the issuance of the wheat ukase. ADVANCE IN BERLIN. BERLIN, Nov. 21.—Wheat has further ad- vanced 2 points on the strength of the ukase prohibiting the export of the cereal from Russia. EFFECT IN ST. LOUIS. The local wheat market was affected to some extent by the Russian ukase and ad- vanced Ihe, but there was no real excite- ment and the strength displayed by European markets had more to do with the improvement in price than the actual issuance of the decree. For several weeks past the markets of this country have been | worked by false reports regarding this Russian prohibition of exports, and the trade had be- come very suspicious of these reports. That was one reason theofficial announcement failed to stir the market up and make specu- lative trading lively. December wheat soid up to 94%c and May to $1.01%, and the closing figures were gate bid for December and $1.01 for May. GENERAL FOREIGN. TERMS OF THE FRANCO-RUSSIAN ALLI- ANCE—OLD WORLD NEWS. Paris, Nov. 21.—La Paix to-day says that it understands that a Franco-Russian alliance exists verbally and that M. De Giers, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, who is now visiting this city, and President Carnot have only to arrange two points in the alli- ance, which, up to the time of M. De Giers’ arrival, were still unsettled. La Pair, how- ever, in announcing that it has come to this conclusion, simply shows that it has just managed to comprehend what the world at large understood for months past. CABINET CRISIS IN MADRID. MADRID, Nov. 21.—The Cabinet crisis con- tinues. Premier Canovas Castello has sum- moned Senor Robledo, Senor Elduayon and other Conservatives to discuss the situation.

Admiral Bernagor, who resigned asa consequence of his recent duel,is to resume the office of Min- ister of Marine, which he has held for so many years. AUSTRIAN-ITALIAN TREATY. VIENNA, Nov. 21.—It is announced that the commercial treaty between Austria and Italy will be signed at Munich to-day. The treaty is said to give Italy large facilities for the ex- rtation of wines, Olives, fruitsand manu- factures. Allthe newspapers have editorial articles referring in highly eulogistic terms to Count Kalnoky’s services during his ten years’ tenure of office as President of the Council. Baron Falk publicly congratulated Count Kalnoky. REVOLT IN PERSIA.

He Is a “Democrat” but Friendly to the Exiled Emperor—Meager Details of the Battle Off Patos Bay—Uruguay River Squadron in Revolt—South American New.] LONDON, Nov. 21.— There is an important item of news here this morning in regard to the troubles in Brazil. The Times’ Santiago correspondent cables that Silveira Martins now holds the key to the situation in Brazil. According tothe same correspondent Mar- tins isa ‘‘strong democrat and friendly to Dom Pedro.’’ From other sources the re- ported repulse of Da Fonseca’s two gunboats andatorpedo boat seem to be confizmed, though the alleged details obtainable are conflicting to a great degree. The insur- gents, it is claimed, continue to receive rein- forcements of men, money and munitions of war, and a Da Fonseca squadron in the Upper Uruguay River is said to have hauled down the flags of the United States of Brazil and to have hoisted in its place the white flag with a red-ball center of the so-called Repub- lic of the South. This squadronis said then to have joined the insurgent forces and to have been received with much enthusiasm amid the firing of guns, much cheering and entertainments of a festive nature. Negotiations between the Dictatorand the revolutionists are said to have deen broken off as the latter will not be content with anything less than an uncon- ditional surrender. On the other hand, nego- tiations between the insurgents and the Gov- ernment of Uruguay are said to be progress- ing ina manner favorable tothe Junta. The report circulated to the effect that Da Fon- seca was ‘‘iikely to die at any moment’’ seems to have been an exaggeration. The Dictator has been a very sick man for months past. He is said to be suffering from a can- cerousafmiiction, and it has been reported that the state of his health has been one of the factors in bringing about the present state of affairs. It ig explained, however, in the sensa- tional dispatch referred to that the news circulated might mean that the Dictator was in danger of assassination. Over ten days ago it was stated in these dispatches that, according to advices received here from Brazil, the Dictator’s friends had thought it advisable to take the strictest precautions to insure the safety of the Marshal, and that, as not infrequent in South American revolu- tions, the assassin might put @ speedy end to the political crisis.. It has been added that the Dictator wears night and day a shirt of mail made of the finest steel backed bya tough leather lining. Butsuch reports are always circulated in political cases of this description. The basis of all these sensa- tional rumors seems to be the news forwarded to the United States in these dispatches early yesterday afternoon that Da Fonseca was suffering from nervous prostration. That is a fact, and out of it seems to have grown the more startling reports. Gaspar Silveira Martins, referred to above as holding the reinsin Rio Grande do Sul, at one time was Governor of the Provinces and was exiled at the time of Dom Pedro’s dethronement and afterward permitted to return. It is believed that his views as to what is the best policy for the State to pursue will prevail. Martins is admitted by all parties to be both able and energetic. He is in favor of a republican form of Gov- ernment, while personally very friendly to Dom Pedro. 6 An official dispatch from Rio de Janeiro late this afternoon says that the Govern- ment of the Dictator is continuing to take active measures to suppress wnat is termed the anarchical movement’’ in the State of Rio Grande Do Sul. It is proposed to establish a close blockade at the ports of Rio Grande, and sO attempt to cut the State off from communication with the outside world. At the same time itis said that the Government willuse moderation in its treatment of the seceded State. The official dispatch says nothing about Fonseca’s reported illness or of the possibil- ity of plots to make away with him. THE BOSTON AT BAHIA, New YorK, Nov. 21.—The United States cruiser Boston reports her arrival at Bahia, Brazil, on the 18th, but the Brazilians held back the cable message two days. The United States steamer Yantic has arrived at St. Vincent, Cape De Verde Islands. She is en route to the South Atlantic station. FALL OF VALPARAISO. How the Insurgents Captured Balmaceda’s Stronghold. San FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov. 21.—An officer of the cruiser San Francisco, speaking of the operations preceding the capture of Val. paraiso, said: The number of men engaged in operations are variously stated by all from ten totwenty thousand on each side. The truth is that the Congressionalists had about ten thousand and Balmaceda twice that num- per, besides between eight and ten thousand more within six or eight hours’ call. On Aug. 21, however, when the Congressional forces were at Concon, Where the Aconcagua River empties into the sea, Balmaceda's generals, Alcerceca and Barbosa, opened the fight with only 6,500 men, the Santiago and Val- paraiso divisions not having arrived. This battle was fought, it was claimed, without instructions, as the President had ordered the troops to take up a position on the heights of which the Fortress Vina del Mar was the pivotal position, whereas the River Aconcagua was on much lower ground with- out any natural advantages of position. {The taking of this position also allowed the Junta forces to swerve to the left of the Balmacedists and follow the coast line around the range Of hills on which was Vina del Mar and attack the Government troops on their left fank facing Valparaiso Bay. Ourshipandthe Baltimore were both lying in the southern portion of the bay, almost under the guns of Fort Pratt. Di- rectly abead of us was Valparaiso, while on our left across the day was the battleneld combat was continued with scarcely any effect, thé two armies Meanwhile doing noth- ing. These operations lasted until about Aug. 24, when the Oongressionalists’ criiis- ers, Esmeraida and Cochrane, ventured a little further in and attempted to shell Vina del Mar. We watched their operations and could see everything quite plainly. They fired a large number of shells, but the fort was not struck once. The nearest one fell about fifty yards fromthe base of the para- pet. While the two vessels occupied an ad- vanced position Fort Pratt on our right fired several shells over us and at the two vessels. These maneuvers and short contests were kept up for several days. The Congression- alist foree gradually crowded the Govern- ment troops, so that the latter fell back to Placilla, which was the key to Valparaiso. Here the final contest took place, and here most of the bloody scenes were enacted.’’ FRIENDLY TO EGAN. CHILIAN OFFICIALS ON AMICABLE TERMS WITH OUR MINISTER. SANTIAGO, Nov. 21.—There is no truth in the report that the Chillan Government desires the recall of Minister Egan. The members of the Cabinet decline to discuss the matter, but it is known that some weeks since a mem- ber of that body remarked that the newspa- pers seemed to de demanding some such act. He was promptly squelched, and the ques- tion has never since been permitted to be discussed at the Cabinet meetings. Presi- dent Montt is extremely friendly towards Egan andthe United States, and a quieter feeling is prevalent, BALMACEDA'S SECRET SERVICE. ROUGH EXPERIENCE OF ONE OF HIS AGENTS, AN AMERICAN. PITTSBURG, Nov. 21.—W. F. Burns of San Francisco, who was in the Chilian Secret Service under Balmaceda and who has been in Pittsburg some time, yesterday received notice from the State Department that the property taken from him by the German Government had been recovered and awaited his orders. This was a case growing out of the Chiltan trouble, As it had been pressed by him toa successful issue in the State De- partment Mr. Burns felt freetotellall about it. He said: *‘I started for Chili on a business mission. The night of my arrival in Buenos Ayres, Argentine, the bombardment commenced, and inside of twenty-four hours that city of 60,000 people was practically knocked out. I left immediately. I reached Santiago and here I found the revolutionists in an extremely violent mood. Officers of the United States Legation advised meto keep my room and Ispent the night lying on the floor in a thoroughly sleepless and thrilling situation, Lhad heard considerable shoot- ing, but was not ready fo country my o such capacity. I made a eee h Chili and then went to What my mission was never has been known, but now! can say it was forthe purpose of securing arms and ammunition in European countries. At Plymouth, England, I was cabled to proceed toa certain city on the Continent where I could get special munitions of war, the — ones being muskets. At Berlin the Balmacedist had placed to my credit $80,000 due me, but when I had occasion to draw against it I was thrown into prison on a charge of being a suspicious character. Detectives of the Congressionalist party were on my track and caused my arrest, but I was quickly released and proceeded to Frankfort- on-the-Main, where again I was arrested and released on the ground of unsupported evidence. The personal grievances against those prisons embraced in my charges on Ale at Washington are too horrible for publi- cation, Every private paper I possessed and allmy money and jewelry were taken from me and I have never seen any of them since nor been oe in any manner for my loss, as could not speak German and consequently spent five days in a 6x3 foot cell. My only food consisted of small bits of black bread. Consul Hessen- brough finally secured my release and I has- tened home. Technically my principal griev- ance in the whole matter is against Germany, but atthe bottom of the trouble 1 place the intense hatred of many of the English people for Americans and anything that is Ameri- can. Our recent reciprocal relations with South America had proven so wonderfully successfuland were sucha matter of pride and comment with me and other American business men that,to sum up this whole mat- ter, although Germany is responsible for the overt act in the way of damages, I would call the initial. promptings simply a case of hound- ing by Englishmen.

Nevertheless, much quiet work was done and if members from the various delegations areto be be- lieved each member of the National Commit- tee in the city has shown himself to be **favorably disposed’’—they are careful not to say ‘‘pledged’’—towards the city repre- sented by the man who imparts the informa- tion. Each delegation is quite as hopeful as any other. The New York delegation ig due here this evening. It was preceded ‘this morning by J. Sloat Fassett, who isa mem- ber of the National Committee. Mr. Fassett dustled into the Ar- lington, registered and disappeared fora while. Gov. David B. Hill was eating his breakfast in the Arlington when Mr. Fassett arrived. He is not interested in the subject that agitated the people in the lob- bies and corridors of the hotel. His mission to Washington isto secure four rooms for himself for the Congressional term. Conjectures are plenty as leaves in autumn. Probably the most aggressive claims, and with least prospect of success, are those set up by Pacific Coast people for San Francisco. Chicago, too, is looked upon as unlikely, as rotation in cities will more than offset any claims of necessity for the convention meet- ing there asa means of taking the State out of the doubtful list. No attempt has“ yet been made by any of the delegations to figure onthe votes. The only combination attempted was an effort on the part of the Western cities to combine against the East. The announcement that the presentation of the claims of the various citles would be public has created much favorable comment. The hearing will take place in the big ban- quet hall of the Arlington, which will accom- modate a large crowd. fsovernor-elect Me- Kinley and ex-Gov.

Minne - a polis has not — ected its advocates from five who have n suggested, namely, Sen- ators Washburn and Davis of Minnesota, Sen- ator Casey of North Dakota, Senator Petti- grew of South Dakota and Chief Clerk John- son of the United States Senate. The speak- ers for New York, Detroit and Pittsburg have not been selected. Chicago, the only candi- date for the convention which has no delegate to represent it, will be spoken for by Con- gressman Cam pbell of Dlinois. The resolution 8 mentioned will be submitted to the committee, providing that the convention shall be held west of the Mississippi River. There are now twenty. two members of the committee from west of the laser ay River, and it is said there are enough Eastern men who are in favor of the proposition to make a majority certain. Mr. DeYoung has received a telegram from New York asking him if the influence of San Francisco would de thrown in o- half of New Tork, if San Fran- cisco could not be successful. No reply has been sent to this dispatch. It is too early in the contest to make any effective combinations, and besides San Francisco believes it as as good a showing as New York. The latter city has not, as yet, many friends. It is believed by many delegates that New York is too much concerned in its own affairs to care very much whether the convention is held within its borders or not and the delegates who have been accustomed to expecting some at- tention from the cities in which the conven- tions are held say that they will not receive this consideration if they go to New York. A prominent Republican who has returned to the party after a brief 1 rience withthe Farmers’ Alliance, said that ifthe convention was held in New York it would improbable for the Western mentodisabuse the minds of the farmers that the platform was not written under the dictation of Wall street. The Omaha delegation, accompanied by Senators Paddock and Manderson, called on the President this morning and paid its respects. GROVER CLEVELAND NEUTRAL. THE EX-PRESIDENT HAS NO FAVORITE FOR THE SPEAKER. New YorK, Nov. 21.—Grover Cleveland authorizes the statement that he is taking no part in the contest for the speakership of the House, so that he is as much the friend of each candidate as he is of any other; that he has never declared himself as favoring Mr. Mills more than Mr. Crisp, or Mr. Springer, or Mr. McMillin, and that he has not made and does not intend making any suggestions in respect to the organization of the House of Representatives. Mr. Cleveland made this expression of his views to an eminent poli- ticlan and personal friend who went to him last Tuesday in behalf of one of the candi- dates for the speakership and asked him why he was allowing his name to be used in Mr. Mills’ interest to the — — of Mr. Crisp, Mr. Springer and Mr. McMillin.
