Yesterday morning her husband thai dug and found a skull, several ribs that and the arm and leg bones of a wo- dep man. The Evanston police examined adv the bodies and claim to have evidence 'osv that they are the remains of either one or both of the Williams sisters, supposed to be Holmes' victims. E Chicago, Ill., Sept. 18.-In the dense fedi woods between North Evanston and for( Willamette, a grave has been found Ext full of human bones. The discovery a ri was made by A. H. Parker of Evans- whi ton. The spot is only a few rods last from the house in which H. H. agg Holmes lived at Willamette and it is of thought that the bones may be those day of some of his victims. The bones tha had evidently been interred within not two years and were apparently placed the in the grave without a (offin and no sus clothing of any sort was found. From a the sizes of the bones it Is thought wh they must be from several people. we: not Tihe New AIIIance. Of London, Sept. 18.-A St. James paper in the discussion of its proposal of a Brl new drelbund, to be formed by Great hei Britain and the United States and Italy for the settlement of the Armenian Co questions, says: a "It Great Britain, the United States thi ,and Italy presented the sultan with a joint demand that certain conditions must be complied with in three days' time it is highly probable that his Rus- Ini slan advisers would intimate to Abdul sh Hamid that he would have to yield, and St it Is 'not impossible that the demand re: of the three powers would presently on become that of united Europe. If Ab- ni 4ul Hamid was advised against his own pe Interests so strongly that he refused to ki yield to them, an Anglo-Italo fleet with sh such American vessels as could arrive ed on time could force the Dardanelles and w dictate terms in the Bosphorus. w "The mere existence of such an alli- lo Sace, would probably be sufficient to si convince not merely the sultan, but persons and powers of greater weight that the atrocities must end." The article in the paper concludes ci ! with the following statement: "In the event of graver complications ta ensuing, the new dreibund would en- a able us to face them with the material ti support of a fine navy, whose additions A to ours would make us equal to any c ,possible combination, and would give i us the moral support of the gigantic ii civilized nations, which no other state r would care to have among its oppo- r tents."

Guthrie, Ok., Sept. 17.-News reach ed here last night from Watonga of a lynching which is likely to cause in-I ternational complications. One night' last week S. C. Ruckman, a farmer, living near Fay, Blaine county, was murdered while encamped near Home stead, in the northern part of the county. Ruckman was on his way to Medicine Lodge, Kan., after his wife, who has been there on a visit, and about dark asked Samuel Vickers whether he could come near his house, as he feared violence from two men who had followed him part of the day. Permission was given and the next morning he was found lying % across the wagon tongue dead with his skull crushed. A party started out the next day after Sam Moore, colored, who with a Mexican of the neighborhood had suddenly disappeared, and after a four e days' hunt a detail of the Anti-Horse Thief association captured the Mexi can, Bapispe Necarori, who was hid ing in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation. Blood stains and the possession of property of the murder ed man, were identified. When he was brought to Watonga there was great excitement and strong talk of lynching at once. Tuesday the public mind became so inflamed that a crowd of 100 men stormed the jail, captured Necorari, took, him to the edge of town and hanged him to a black jack. The sheriff was powerless to resist, having neither guards nor arms, but the Mexicans in the vicinity hold that e he did not try to save the prisoner 8 and are telegraphing the representa tives of the Mexican government to demand an investigation and repara tion. Lord Cecil's Reply. e London, Sept. 17.-Lord Hugh Cecil meriber of parliament and the fifth son of the Marquis of Salisbury, whc has been staying with his father at ;s Walmer, has sent a reply to an invita I- tion to attend an indignation meeting g, of Armenian atrocities, in which he Le writes: "Every Englishman must share in ,n the generous indignation aroused by ,y the atrocities perpetrated under the in a- famous government of the sultan. It id s most earnestly to be wished that the r- Indignation may now cease to be con e- fined to our country. Unhappily it id Would seem that we should be danger ry ously misleading the Armenians if we s- made them believe that England alone m can save them. Lamentable as it is it ,e, appears to be the fact that there is t, strictly no hope for them till the feel e- ing abroad at least approximates the . excitement here. I trust that this may , soon happen."
