Topeka, Kan., July 20.—Governor
Martin rereived several telegram* vaster
day front Liberal, Meade Center and other
points in the vicinity of Htevens County,
which proves that the Stevens County
massacre was worse than at first report
ed. There being no telegraph line in
Bteren* County, it is impossible to get
direct information to ascertain the state
of affairs. Governor Martin dispatched
Attorney-General Bradford yesterday to
the scene, and he will be joined by
Brigadier-General Murray Myers of the
Stale Militia at Hutchinson, and together
they will repair to Stevens County to in
vestigate and restore order if possible.
A strange feature of the case is the fact
that even though murder has been com
mitted as foul and blood-curdling as de
scribed, the guilty wretches are not amen
able to any law, a< No-Man’s-Laud, the
scene of the crime, is not within the
jurisdiction of any court of the land as
far as the law is concerned. Though
murder was proved the men could go scot
free. No-Man’s-Land is a section of the
country without law, and is ruled only
by might. It is a rendezvous for murder
ers, horse thieves and blacklegs general
ly: in fact a place of refuge. The Gov
ernor yesterday telegraphed Congress
man Peters as follows:
Uon. S A. Peters, House of Represent

place of outlaws and criminals. Ft i« under nc
jurisdiction, and has no laws. It ought to be
attached at oncy to the district « f Kansas, sc
that the United States marshal for this State
could drive* out or arrest the outlaws who infest
it. To attach it to the district of New Mexico
would not improve matters. I hope rongres*
will speedily adopt some measure of relief.
John a. Mart n.
Governor Martin last evening received
a dispatch which says that the whole coun
ty is armed, and that there is likely to he
an outbreak at any moment, and the citi
zens of both towns have organized into
companies, all armed and ready to fight
at a moment’s notice. Barricades have
been built at Woodsdale, and sentinels
have been stationed fora distance of sev
eral miles around the town. Instruction*
have been given that if a Hugoton man
attempts to pa-s he shall be tireil upon.
The teeling is so intense that a ( lash be
tween the two towns can hardly be avoid
ed, and if it should come, there will lie
wholesale bloodshed. The Woodsdale
people Friday ordered one hundred Win
chester rifles an l a large-apply of am
munition. Advices from TTugoton state
that the town is in arms, and no strangei
is permitted to enter until he gtves satis
faetory proof that he is not a friend of
Woodsdale. Kven the boys and women
have been furnished with firearms, an at
tack by the Woodsdale people being ttsi
tieipatod at any time.
The whole trouble grows out of a bittcj
county-seat fight between Hugotou and
Woodsdale, which has been in progress
for the past two years, llugotou got the
county seat originally by a small vote,
and a petiti on was snbeerpnently filed in
the office of the Clerk of the Supreme
Court, attacking the validity of the coun
ty organization. It has been a constant
fight down there ever since, and no hear
ing ha- yet been had on this petition,
which is still pending, the county seal
meantime remaining at Hngoton.

Washington, July 31.—The House •■om
mitteeon manufactures yesterday submit
ted ihe following report concerning the
trusts investigation, which was ordered
printed:
Th( committee on manufactures respectfully
report, that acting under the authority and
direction of a resolution of this Mouse, passed
oa the 25th day of January, 1^. they have pro
needed to investigate and inquire into the mat
ters and things referred to in said resolution,
and having examined witnesses and papers in
relation thereto, they have been unable to com
plete such inquiry and investigation, and re
spectfully report the fallowing resolution, with
the recommendation that it. do pass.
Your committee Mrther report that the
name nf various combinations*n<1 trust* have
been from tim» to time, furnished to your com
mittee, that the number of such combination*
is very larg<\ ,md lhai your committee in call
ing witnesses and tailing testimony, proceeded
upon the following plan of investigation, i t ,
to inquire:
First, with relation to trusts and combina
tions in lines of business which are connected
with or use articles in which there exists a
competition in our markets between the do
mestic product and the foreign product import
ed and dutiable under our tariff laws.
Second, with relation to such combinations
dealing in articles which arc not imported into
this country, or are not subject to import
Third, with relation to such combinations
■ dealing in articles which are subject to taxa
tion under the internal revenue laws of the
. United States.
Your committee has particularly directed
i its inqu ry into the methods of and the extent
1 of the business done or coctroled by the
Sugar Trust and the Standard Oil Trust, and
! respectfully submit herewith th** testimony
taken before it in relation to these two trusts.
In submitting this testimony, your committee
desire to call the attention of the House to the
form of organizations of these two trusts.
Both of them are organized on substantially
the same plan From the. testimony it ap
pears that there exists a certain number of
i corporations organized under the laws of
Ike different States and subject 'to
their control; that these corpora
tif-.ua hnvu icclll.il Mimp ctrw'lr t (l I'iirlllilS lfldj*
viduals. and that these individual stockholders
have surrendered their stock* to the trustees
named in the agreement creating these trusts,
j and accepted in lieu thereof certificates issued
by the trustees named therein. The agree
' ments provide that the various corporations
whose stock is surrendered to the trustees
shall preserve their identity and carry on their
business. Tn the Sugar Trust agreement the
provision is that the several corporations shall
mn-ntatn their separate organizations and
| caeh shall carry on and conduct its own bu-i
' ness, in the Standard Oil Trust agreement it
is provided that all property, real
and personal, assets and business
shall be transferred to and vested in the said
several companies. The duties of the trustee s
are restricted to the receipt of the dividends
declared by the various corporations and the
distribution of the aggregate of them to the
holders of the trust certificates pro rata, and
to holding and voting upon the stock of the cor
poration. The trustees in both cases, upon the
stand as witnesses, specifically denied that the
trustees, as such, ever do any other business
• than to receive and distribute these dividends,
and exercise the only other function given to
tin in by the Trust agreements that is. to hold
the stock of the grioti* < rporations und « x**r
cise the right of stockholders in such (‘orp .ra
tion.
The care with which th** trustees avoid mak- !
ingany agreement relating to commodities, up*
j pears from the testimony as to the urranj
1 men! with the Oil Producer* Association in
the fall of 1**7 the o filer rs of the Producers'
Association testified that an agreement w is then
made with the Standard Oil Trust by which
0*>.u00 barrels of oil belonging to lb*- Standard
1 Oil Trust was set apart for the benefit of the
association, upon its agreeing to curtail the
production of crude oil at least 17 Jt id barrels
per diem. These witnesses undoubtedly un
derstand that their arrangement was with tho
trustees of the Standard Oil Trust. Hut the
• written agreement, produced now iif evidence, 1
shows that it was made with and i* signed bv
. the Standard Oil Company of New York, one of
the companies whose stock 1* held by the
trustees, and that the Standard Oil
Trust, or the trustees thereof as *
such. are not parties to it. nor
Is either of them responsible for the carrying
i out of that agreement. This form of combina
tion was obviously devised for th*' purpose <>f
raiding the trusts and trustees from the
charge of anv breach of it he conspiracy lavs of
the various States, or of being a combination
' to regulatte or control the price or product ion of
! any commodity, hence th* y assert that the cor
porations themselves. which control and r*vu
late the price of commodities an*! the i-xtent of
| production^ and have tangible property, remain
1 with their organization intact and distnet and
not in combination with each other: that tho
tockholdcrs who owned only the stock, and
by well-settled legal rules, had no legal title in
j the property of the corporations, entered into
i the agreements and.sold their stock in the < <>r
, porations and received in payment, trust < * r
J tifi cates, and that the trust* • s receive and hold
only the stock of corporations'and have no
l legal title to any of the property of the c r
■ porations, and neither buy or sell any thing nor
• combine with any one to tix prices or regulate
! production of any commodity.
Your committee have (teemed it proper to
call attention to this feature of th*1**' comhina
! tions. because it s believed that it will he

it burst open, and the body of Hush was

Hush had evidently tirst killed his wife,
then wiped tho knffe, cut off a pie. e or
rope exactly long enough to reach from
the door knob on the inside over the door
frame, and to allow sufficient spue" for
himself to hang. He had tied the rope,
shut the door, aiid proceeded to his self
murder. His body was also clad m

retired for the night before the cause for
the fatal deed had arisen. No reason can
be assigned for the tragedy. Every
thing around the room bespoke comfort,

London, July 31. The recent overtuies
made by Italy to Prance, to reopen nego
tiations looking toward the conclusion of
a commercial treaty between the king
dom and the republic are very signifi
es nt, in view of the late attempt of King
i/ohu of Abyssinia to secure the friendship
of Russia. The latest drift of con
tinental relations tend toward the
estrangement of Russia and Franco
because of the vacillating policy of
the latter country and the growing belief
of the former that her desire- and am
bitions may be achieved without th*' as
sistance or even the moral support of
Franee. Italy, having become one <>f the
Triple Alliance, can not reasonably look
toward Russia fo»* favors, and naturally
turns to France to help lo r out in her Red
fcSea complications, while King John, hav
ing vainly endeavored to interest
France in his behalf during his
struggle to prevent France from
seizing bis most valuable port and

sia, Continental politicians are in no
way chary of expressing the opinion that
Ira nee has delayed too long in giving
assent to ah alliance with Russia, which
every nody knew long ago, as well as it u
known now, was especially desired by the
republic, but which French state*,
men hoped to delay long enough to bring
about some manifest, ft'ion on the part of
Russia making it appear that the compact
was sought by the Czar. The time has
