V TClld Talk ky a Canadian Official About Plan
I drrlni; rorelsn Miner American Threats
Iff to DrlT Oat Inn Officials, Hoist the Mat,
11 ana Declare a United States Terrltorj.
1 8AS FnANOisco, July S3. Political trouble on
the Klondlko Is pretty suro to be bred this win
ter by tto Canadian Government, which is
smutting under the rntcs proposed In the Ding
ley bill, nnd Is bound In some wny to check tho
(low of gold from pincers to this country. Nine
tenths of tho miners who have made rich strikes
on the Bonanza and Eldorado creeks haTo been
Americans, and they hare brought tholr gold to
this city. This hns caused deep resentment
among the Canadian ofllclals. They probably
will attempt to enforco new alien labor' laws.
A scheme which Is sure to provoke violent re
sentment was detailed by Cant. 8trlckland, Into
comtnnndant of tho mounted pollen on the
Klondlko. on the pnssago down from St. Michael,
to William Stanley, nn American miner, who
arrived hero to-day by way of Seattle. Stanley
was In partnership with three other men, and
he took out 9113,000 from a claim on Eldorado
Creek In ninety days. Stanley said to-day :
"Nothing has made me so hot In years as the
talk of Capt. Strickland of measures which the
Canadian Government would adopt noxt spring
to secure control of the millions of gold from
the Klondike. Ho said the plan which ho had
already suggested, and which tho Dominion
Government was inclined to favor, provided thoy
had a large enough pollco force to bo assured of
carrying it out, was to pass a law prohibiting
the export of gold except by Dominion ofllclals.
The gold dust hrought In by the miners of all
nationalities would bo carefully wclghod by
officials of tho Canadian Government appointed
for tho purpose, and fixed value would be placed
on tho metal, according to assayers' estimates,
and this value would bo paid in monoy of only
local value.
"Strickland did not explain the exact nature
of this cat money or scrip, but he said it would
be revised so that the miners should leave most
of their wo lit h In that territory. I told him
such law could provoke revolution, but he said
Canada would have a largo enough forco to sup
press any revolt and thnt tho large number of
Canadian miners who came in this winter
would assist tho authorities."
Stanley added that he had talked with several
American miners who owned valuable claims
on the Klondike, and they all declared that if
the Canadians attempted to dictate any terms
about the sole or export of gold there would be
a miners' meeting and the whole batch of ofll
clals would bo shipped out of the Territory, tho
American flag would bo run up, and the new
Territory of Klondike organized. Stanley added:
" I believe Eldorado Creek Is the richest place
on earth Just now, though there's no telling
what other districts, oven richer, perhaps, may
be opened up on tho Eon Ike. Everything
that's been said of tho plnce Is true and tho half
has not been told. I mado a careful estimate of
the wealth on Eldorado Creek, at a low average
of 600 a square foot, and the total amounts to
27,000.000. Every foot of ground on my claim
that was worked yielded threo times this aver
age, even though we lost much fine gold by our
crude processes."
Every day brings new evldenco that the Gov
ernment will be called on to bring stranded
prospectors out of the Yukon this winter or else
send them food. Hundreds will not wait till
spring, but are making arrangements to go to
St. Michael by steamers ox sailing craft and
I then take chances of getting transportation up
the river. These will be stranded at St. Michael
without proper supplies of food, and unless aided
by the Government they probably will starve.
The Alaska Commercial Company cannot afford
to deplete its stores at St. Michael to help these
people whom It is warning to stay away, as all
supplies will be needed for the Klondike.
The steamer Cleveland, which runs between
this point and the Sound, has been chartered by
the North American Transportation and Trad
ing Company to go to St. Michael and will sail
to-morrow. She will stop nt Seattle for supplies
and to take on hundreds of passengers already
booked from that port for St. Michael.
Tho company agrees to carry minors booked at
Seattle to the Yukon, but those booked here are
not certain they will reach St. Michael unless
another steamer can be chartered at Seattle.
Hundreds of prospective gold seekers are going
on the Cleveland, and wbllo they mar reach the
' ' cold fields eventually, they are not likely to do
1 so by mean -of the Cleveland, for she will be
1 again placed on her run to the Sound just as
I soon as she returns from St. Michael.
I' There Is hope that should tho miners eventu-
"- ally reach St. Michael this season before tho
river freezes they may go up on n-.e of the new
steamers that will be put on the Yukon soon by
the Northwestern Trading Company. Two of
these are on tbelr way there now from Seattle.
Despite the lack of facilities by way of 'St.
Michael, the rush goes on. and hundreds are
going from this city with only slight prospects
1 of reaching the Yukon this season.
Portland. Or., July 23. The Queen sailed
this morning for Alaska with 413 passengers,
1 1(13 of whom were from Seattle and neighboring
I places, bound for the gold fields of the Klondlko.
The other 2S0 were Christian Endeuvorers, bent
on pleas ro among the glaciers.
Seattle, July 23. The departure of vessels
.E from this port with gold seekers, while al-
gm roost of daily occurrence, continues to attract
n 9 thousands to the docks, and the crowd was
11 ' greater on the departure of the Queen this
nl morning thnn on any previous occasion. It Is
II announced this afternoon that the steamer Wll-
JA lamette, one of the largest vessels on the coast,
will be placed in the Alaska trade, and will be-
H gin booking freight nnd passengers in a few
IiH days. The Mexico is now at the Ocean dock re-
cefving Alaska freight. She will sail Sunday
with 175 passengers.
MM Notable changes are being mado by many
I who are taking the inland route. Dogs have
HI been discardrd nnd horses substituted. In
fH stead of waiting to whlpsaw lumber and con
IH, struct boats for paBsage down the chain of
H lakes, some are using boats s itahlo for the
H purpose, theso having been put up in "knock
tH down " stylo. Thus fire to ten days' time Is
I saved. W hlto's Pass is also being selected In
EH stead of Dyea Pass by reason of many advan
JH tEcs possessed by it over the old route.
KH The publlo press having repeatedly warned
j the gold seekers of the necessity of going well
Srovlsloned. nearly all tho hundreds who havo
eparted aro supplied abundantly for eight to
IH twelve months. It Is the purpose of the most
IU experienced prospectors now leaving hero to

1 he almost equally rich, but not so fully staked,
Stewart Ither. with Its 400 miles of compara
1 tlvely iinprospected country. Is the objectlvo
point of many. Up to the present, the greater
1 portion of tbnsn going to the Klondike have
I been from Seattle and its vicinity, but the city
I Is now filled with strangers from every section,
1 busily engaged In outfitting, nnd Seattle, nlways
regarded as n busy city, never was so lively as
now.
TRANSIT TO THE KLONDIKE.
Vaellttatrd by an Order making Djtm a Safe
Port or Kntry.
Wabiiinotox, July 23. One woman who has
penetrated the Klondike region and has done
her share of panning gold is Mrs. 'Wilson, the
wife of an agent of tho Alaska Commercial
Company, In on official report to Capt. C. F.
Shoemaker, Chief of tbo Revenue Cutter scr
vico, Capt. C, Li. Hooper, commanding the Dehr
ing Sea patrol licet, mentions Mrs. Wilson, and
gives some additional details about rich finds of
the precious metal. Capt. Hooper's report is
dated Unalaaka, July 5. He cays:
H r "The steamer Excelsior arrived on the even-
j W ingot the 4th from St. Michael, nnd leaves this
evening for San Francisco. The Excelsior has
on board about forty miners from the Yukon
district and $300,000 In bullion. Sho brings
wonderful accounts of rich discoveries In tho
Klondike or Reindeer River, w here fortunes are

reports, nothing hats over been discovered on the
continent of Araerlco approaching it In richness.
"Tho Klondike Is a tributary of the Yukon, a
few miles from Korty Mile, nnd Is wholly within
, Canadian territory. Gold was discovered last
I fall, and during tho winter attracted minors

for the Klondike nt Dyea, a small port In
Alaska, at the head of navigation on the routo
to the Yukon frontier. Asa rosultot tho talk
tho Secretary decided not to grant tho applica
tion, but issued an order designating Dyea ns a
sub-port of entry In the district of Alaska,
which amounts to tho samo thing. If tho ap
plication had been grnntod it would havo been
necessary in all cases of vessels clearing for
Dyoa to give a special permit to tho Deputy Col
lector of Customs al Juneau for each vc'ssol.
Now nil vessels may land their passengers and

wan toil permission to land at Drea to save pas
songers tho annoyance of disembarking at
Juneau, fifty miles distant, and awaiting
another stoamer for Dyea.
Under tho order designating Dyoa as n sub

telegraphs to the Klondike.
Tflrea to Be Lata In a Cablo Which Will no
Strung Along the Oroand.
8aw Francisco. July 23. Next year there
will be telegraph communication with the
Klondike. Local capitalists to-day filed the
articles of Incorporation of the Alaska Tolo
graph and Telephone Company. The scheme is
to run a telegraph line from Juneau to Dawson
City over tho trail by way of Chllcoot Pass and
down along the shore of lakes and rivers. No
poles will be used. Roth tolograph nnd tele
phone wires will bo laid lnsldo of n big cablo,
which will rest on tho surfaco of tho ground. Of
course, during tho greater part of tho yoar it
will bo covered by buow. Tho method of cover
ing the cable will bo tho same as with the ocean
cable. From Dawson branches will bo built to
Circle City and Forty Mllo. Agents will be
established every fifty miles to provide for mes
sages along the routo and to make careful dally
inspections of the cable.
CANADA AND THE KLONDIKE.
New Mining negnlattons to De Considered by
the Cabinet Monday.
Ottawa, OnU. July 23. Clifford Slfton,
Minister of tho Interior, made this statement to
day with reference to tho rush to the gold mines
of Yukon:
" I think it only proper to say that any person
who contemplates going into the Yukon terri
tory should make very careful Inquiries as to
the length of time it will tako to go and as to
the means ho will bavo of sustaining himself
after he gets there. The shortest time
within which communication has been had
with Fort Cudahy is six weeks, and
that took place under the most favorable
circumstances. The amount of provisions that
can be taken into thnt country at the present
moment is extremely limited, and if any consid
erable number of people go In without
making special provisions for their main
tenance this fall, there Is very likely
to be starvation during the coming win
ter. One thing ought to be clearly understood,
the Government cannot assume any respon
sibility whatever for getting in provisions into
that country to supply any people who may go
In therein consequence of the gold excitement
and who may find themselves short of food. The
dlfilculty is largely one of transportation, and
no means exist of overcoming this dlfilculty
during the presont season."
An informal meeting of thoCabinet took plaro
to-day, at which the Klondike situation waa dis
cussed. The question of making 'omc provision
for the opening up of the Yukon country was
considered. Strong representations had been
received to tho effect that large quantities of
United States goois were being landed and
pushed through to British territory no duty had
been paid.
It was decided to order two customs officers
from Victoria to establish stations on the other
side of the snmmlt at the bead of tho Lynn
Canal. Arrangements will also be mado to
enable Canadian boats from Victoria to report
at Juneau and tako up their loads to the head of
the canal for transport through the passes.
The strengthening of the police force on the
frontier, the establishment and manning of ad
ditional police posts, and the striking of a trail
through Cnradlan territory between tho links
in the chalil of communlc tlons between Ed
mon and the Klondike were talked over, out no
action will S taken until next Mondays meet
ing of the Cabinet, at which alterations In the
minting regulations will also be considered and
adopted.
NO KLONDIKE TOR HIM.
Gold Enough There, He Bars, but Too Many
Hardships to Sott III Taste.
JoPLirr. Mo.. July 23. " Alaska has serious
drawbacks at this time of the year, and people
are foolish to go there before spring," said S. A.
Turner, an engineer, who passed two years
in the Yukon country and returned last
fall. "No work can bo dono until May,
and It will take a small fortuno to ltvo until
prospecting can begin, and it would requiro
very strong nerves to enable a man of small
means to survive tho awful feeling of homesick
ness that settles over one under tho conditions
that exist In that bleak, desolate country. To
be there through the long winter months Is bad
enough, even when one has an abundance of
food and good shelter, but to go In the condition
In which many rash people are going, witn only
small amounts of monev, is to go to a place,
of Intenso suffering nnd great privations
and perhaps to death. People do not
seem to reallzo that everything there
costs dearly. 1 paid $'JS for a single board large
enough to make a sluice box two ) cars ago when
there was n great rush to that region. Now
everything will necessarily ho more expensive,
for there will be greater demands for food,
wearing apparel, shelter, tec.
"At that time board was from $3.BO to $12 per
day, according to conditions, and single meals
were $ 2. The cold was intense, nnd many bad n
struggle to sustain life. Of course, theru 1b gold
therein abundance, but it takes bard and ex-
JienBlve work to get it, and tbe fabulous stories
oldof fortunes nnlting there to bo picked up
are gross exaggerations."
Mr. Turner went from Seattlo, Wash., with
about 100 others to Clrclo City, Alaska. Tho
Journey took sixty days, and was fraught with
dangers and hardslilps. He prospected for two
months and got out about SI. 700 in gold dust,
and then docldcd to got back to civilization
when the opportunity presented Itself.

80 Bays TTIlllam Davis. Who lias Itetnrned to
Pennsylvania with Void Dun.
Altoona, Pa., July 23. William Davis of this
city has just returned from tbe Klondlko gold
region with a comfortable sum, as the result of
two years' work. To a SnN reporter to-day
Davis said:
" Ten miles above Juneau there is a pass In
tho mountains thirteen miles long. Through
this pass an easy Indian trail runs to tbo gold
fields, making the whole distance to bo travelled
by tho land route not more than 250 mles. Tho
rigors of the climate in tho gold regions havo
been exaggerated. I have been In Montana,
nnd I can say truthfully that tho Klondlko win-,
teris not more severe than that of lower Alaska.
The honesty of the prospectors Is surprising.
Locks nnd keys aro unknown in the region, nnd
the latchstrlng Is always on tho outsldo. On
the whole, the prospector Is as safe as if he
were here in Pennsylvania."

Batavla Peonle Think Ibe Defence Hade a
Mistake In Mot Pulling Benham on the
Rtand Rsperta In Hebnttal nad Snr-rte-
batlnl Benhnm Lor-kln for Aeaultlat.
Batavia, N, Y., July 23. This afternoon tho
Benham murder trial was ended as far as tbe
Introduction of evidence Is concomod. Court
was then adjourned until Monday morning at
(1:30 o'clock, when counsel will sum up and tho
Court will charge tho jury. Justice Laughlln
said thathedoslrcdosllttlo tlmo as posslblo to
Intervene betweon tbo addresses of the counsel
and his charge, so that It is possible the case
will go to tho Jury by Monday night.
"Yes," said Benham to the newspaper men,
"I am glad it Is so near over. It has been a
great strain for me to sit hero day by dny while
mon coolly nrguo ns to whether I shall be killed
or not. I look for an acaulttal or disagreement.
I don't sco how any body of men can possibly
convict mo on the little evtdonco left them by
Dr. Wltthaus."
Although tho testimony given by the celebrat
ed New York toxlcologlst yesterday nullified
tho weight of tho expert testimony, tho fact still
remains that tho rest of tho people's proof Is
dead against Benham. and but little effort seems
to havo bocn made by tbo attorneys for the de,
fonco to ex lain this away. It is the general
opinion at Batavla that tbo defence has mad
a mistnko in not permitting tho defendant
to testify In his own behalf. If Benham is not
guilty it is difficult to see how ho could convlot
himself of n crime ho did not commit. He
could at least deny that ho administered tho
poison. Whilo ho might mako an unfavorable
Impression on tho stand, many think It would
prcjudlco his enso much less than tho cowardice
evinced by his prcscut attitude.
Evldenco In rebuttal and sur-rebuttal occu
pied tho attention of tho court all day. Tho
people at onco proceeded to attempt to counter
act tho effect of Dr. Wltthaus's testimony,
which fell llko a bomb in tholr camp. Dr.
Wltthaus testified that tho first autopsy had re
vealed no rigidity of tbo lower jaw. On this
point Mrs. Davis, who was the first, witness
sworn In tho people s caso, was recalled. Slio
said sho was nt the Benham house on the night
of Mrs. Bcnham's doath and was presont at tho
tlmo tho undorvest was put on.
"I noticed tho jaw," she said, "When tho
vest was put on tho nankin dropped off and tho
Jaw remained firm. Mrs. Pronlfco, Mrs. Ward,
and Mrs. Benham were all present, and I drew
their attention to tho fact."
Mrs. Lulu Prentlcowas also recalled, and tes
tified that her attention was called to tho condi
tion of tho Jaw ns the vest was being put on, and
It was firm, though tho napkin had dropped off.
"Mrs. Davis spoko to mo about It," said tbo
witness. . . .
Mrs. Prentlco also testified as to tho soiled
condition of tbe lied in which Mrs. Benham
died. She was corroborated in this by Mrs.
Mary Snyder, a new witness, who testified that
sho wnshod the boddlng. During tho giving of
this testimony Mrs. Benham becamo very much
excited, as it llally contradicted her own evi
dence on this point. She was with difficulty
quieted by Mr. Mackey.
The duf enco havo claimed t hat Benham bought
the prusslc acid at Jeell's drug store with tho
Intention of using It In treating a cer
tain disease. Dr. Miller and Dr. Morso wore re
called, and said that they had read of prusslo
acid being use-din trenting tho disease in ques
tion, but that It waa not generally or ordinarily
prescribed by tho medical profession.
When court convened In tho afternoon Dr.
Frank Vnndcrberg or Buffalo took the stand.
Grent curiosity was felt ns to what he would
havo to say in reply to tbo severe handling
which Prof. Wltthaus and Dr. Miller gave his
evldenco yestcrd.iy. Tho Buffalo chemiit had
been homo nil tbe forenoon verifying his tests
and was nrlmcd for the ordeal.
Regarding tho criticism made by Dr. Miller,
that If he bad used In the nltro-priiBslno tent
potassium nltrnt- In thu examination of tho
viscera he would not havo got tho reaction
claimed. Witness said that If be had said po
tassium nitrate It uas a mistake, as bo had cer
tainly used potassium nitrite. Tho formula In
I'rof. Wltthaus's book on the subject, by a typo
graphical error, was made to read, "potassium
nitrite." Instead of "potassium nitrite."
Witness said he had the references which
frlvo potassium nitrite, and Imd used tho test
ong before Prof. Wltthaus's book w.is published.
Chemist Vnndcrberg deuiod that his apparatus
for distillation Is not of tho proper kind, nnd also
tho assertion of Dr. Miller that he conducted his
exDerlmcnts with the viscera nt so high a tem
perature as to render It possible by chemical de
composition, the production of pruaslc acid
from certain organs, the blood nnd saliva.
When asked by Mr. Kenotllck about tho Prus
sian bluo test, which Dr. Miller said was faulty
because witness did not use hjdrochlorlc acid.
Dr. VandTbergh said that Dr. Miller was justi
fied In his statement If ho understood that hy
drochloric acid was not used, ns the test without
It Is valuoless. He had, however, used hydro
chloric acid In the test, hnvlng added It to the
other solutions, but might not have made this
fact plain when ho was nn the Bland before.
Mr. Soirlet asked witness If he did not think
that tho presence of ammonium oxalate, mer
curic cyanide, and other Ingredients which wero
In tho embalming fluid woulo not interfere with
tho tests. Chemist Vanderbergh did not think
they would, but was not sure.
The only witnesses called by the defence on
the Bur-rebutt.il were Prof. Wltthaus and Dr.
Miller. Both stated that tho preliminary exam
ination conducted by Chemist Vnnderbergh to
determine tho presence of tbe double cyanades
wns absolutely valueless.
At 3:20 both side rested and court adjourned.
Mr. Mackey will sum up for tho defence on Mon
day morning and District Attorney Leseur for
the prosecution.

Cincinnati, O., July 23.-Gov. G. W. Atkinson
and Adjt.-Gen. Appletonnf West Virginia, ne
enmpaniod by their families, were visitors In
Cincinnati for a few hours to-dny on their wny
homo from Chicago, when thoy had attended tho
Logan dedication ceremonies. Gov. Atkinson,
when asked regarding tho strike situation
among tho minors In West lrginln, said:
" In our Statu there are 25,fi(Mcoal minora nnd
about one-fifth of them hao laid down tholr
picks nnd struck In sympathy fur their brother
minors In other Stale. This action was caused
by a recent visit of Debs. While ho received
but little support, thoro were n few of the hot
headed element who quit work. Thcro Is not
Iho slightest cause for complaint among the
miners of West Virginia. 'I hey aro well paid
nnd havo but recently had their wnges lu
cre isod.
" I believe In a miner receiving good pay for
his day's work, and nm glad that such a state of
affairs exists in West Virginia. I do not bollove
In a sympathy strike, and think 11 wrong for
men to tako up tho troubles of others at a dis
tance when they themselves nrn well treated,
and the miners in our State, or that is u major
Itvof them, share tho samo opinion with me.
We do not anticipate tbo least trouble."

OITES THANKS, THEN GRIEVES.
Dolly McCarthy, an Old-Time Tough nnd an
Ki-Convlrt, Commits Suicide After n Pro
longed Spree Mrs. MrCarthr, Who Had
lot n Summons ror Him, Finds Ills Hod,
"Dolly" McCarthy, wlfo beater, ex-convlct,
nndcnomyof tho public poacc. Is dond In his
homo, n third-story back flat at 32 Spring stroot.
Ho lies inn velvet-covered coffin, with n silver
candelabrum nnd a black canopy, embroidered
in sllvor, nt his hoad. His wlfo sits at his foot.
Dolly died by his own hand.
Yesterday morning Mrs. McCarthy went to
tho police station In Mulberry street nnd showed
a summons from the Contro Street Court for hor
husband to appear and nnswer for having
threatened to tako hor life. A llttlo whllaago,
sho said, Dollv had knocked out four of her
front teoth. Ho had gono on n sprco with his
wages for driving a contractor's sand cart. For
a week ho had been threatening "to do" her
and the baby. Thoy had not been homo sinco
Saturday night. They stnrtod to go back on
Monday, hut tho neighbors warned them to stay
away, for Dolly was dr'nklng harder and harder I
every dny, nnd wns publicly whettlngaantfo with
which to kill them. Mrs. McCarthy asked that n,
policeman bo sontwlth her to serve tho sum
mons, for she was afraid that Dolly would kill
her.
To the pollco her foars seemed reasonable. On
tholr blotters aro many entries beginning "John
J. McCarthy. 38, Irish, laborer, 32 8prlng
street," Thoy know that ho had been a member
of the old Rubber Shoo gang of Elizabeth street.
They know that twolve years ago, when ho hod
been married Just a) car, McCarthy had killed
an Itallnn with a butcher knlfo just back of Po
lice Headquarters. Ho hod been sent to Sing
Sing for that. Ho was rolcascd after claht years
and enmo back to live on his wife's earnings as
a dressmaker. In splto of tho homlcido episode,
McCarthy's frlonrts nicknamed him "Dolly,"
liecauso, they sold, "ho was such an inner-cent
child."
Policeman Cavanagh was sent with Mrs. Mc
Carthy to serve the summons. They found tho
door of tho lint blocked from tho lnsldo. Cava
nagh forced It. Dolly lay In a tumbled heap on
a mattress In tho corner. All about him wero
tho crockery nnd furnlturo and clothing ho hail
smashed and torn to fragments In his week of
drunkenness.
"Cheer up, old sport," said Cavanagh, as ho
kicked tho prostrato form lightly. Tho body
rollcl over und tho pollccmnti saw a revolver
besldo it and n bullet hole In Holly's ho id.
" llo's dead," hu said in Mrs. McCarthy.
"Thank God for that !" said the widow. They
straightened out tho body.
"I wonder will I got the Insurance," said tho
woman, "now thnt he's killed hlssclfl He's
been paying It these twelve ymrs, and If they
do mo out ot It now It will bo a 6lnful Imposition
on a poor widow womnn with a helpless child."
Sho began to cry. "I wonder when ho was
after doing It," sho said, nrtcr awhile. "Them
geezers upstairs must havo heard him. They
had n right to send for a priest. It's well known
they nro no good nelghliors."
Sho turned to C.tvnnngh with tho summons;
there wns rising anger in her voice.
"You may tako jour summons." sho said,
"and go to hell with It."
Cavanagh, who raw an nppllcatlon of her
words iif which sho apparently was not con
scious, hid a grin hv lifting a helmet In front of
his face, and liacked out of the room.
After tho undertaker sho Bent fnr had come
and tho place had lieen made decent, folks began
to come to ask questions about her husband.
"Ho Is dead," bIic said to them. "Whatever
ho has done, he will do no more. Let the dead
be."

MRS. HOWL'S tDVENTURE.
A Tiller In a Connecticut Woods Ittempta to
Cnrrj off a NnU-hel from Her t'arrluse.
Mrs. James B. Howe, the wife of Congressman
Howo, who lives at 188 South Ninth street,

She started upon the drive In company with
her Ki-ycar-old son. The distance wns about
twenty miles. When they had crossed tho
Stuto lino nnd weio near the vlllago of Wilton,
Conn., they stopped to give their horses a rest
and strolled a short distance away from their
carriage.
They were only a short dlstanco away when
they saw a man cmcrgo from tho woods, run up
to tho carriage, and, seizing Mrs. Howe's
satchel. Hurt lo run away with it.
The satihel was said to have contained somo
diamonds, a jiu.'O sum of money, und a lot of
valuable pilfers.

"Mrs. Unwound her eon pursued tho man,
nnd wero within .1 few foot of Iho robber when
ho turned quickly about, and, drawing n re
oler, said he would uo it If iicosary. Mis.
Hone now wonders that shedidu't fniiit on tho ,
bot. Tho excitement, howci er, evidentlf stlm- 1
ulated the Congressman's wife, for sho talked to
the desperate iharai tcr In a manner that el
ilmily made him believe that he had met hla
match. Mrs. Howe suddenly screamed with all
her might, und tho robber again threatened to
shoot.
"Then ho again turned about and started for
the woods, louli',; Mr. Howo followed tho thief
nnd yelled to him that be might do some shoot
ing IiImim If if tho highwayman liibisted upon
retaining tbe big containing the valuables. Tho
robber proliably thought Mrs. Howe and tho
uung man worn urinoil, and that they meant
what they siid, for ho hulled tho grip In tho
mlddloof tho road and thou disappeared in tho
thlckut.
' Giorgn L. Burr of 142 Fulton street, New

Madrid, July 10. Under tho heading "Tho
Jlngnos nt Tangier," El Impartial says:
"McKlnloy undoubtedly wishes to emulato
Emporor William's mania for startling tho din
lomatlo world every week with his doings nnd
projecta. Tho Impression caused by tho Ha
waiian incident and by tho notes exchanged
between tho Whlto Houbo and tho Emperor of
Japan had Buirccly vanished when tho San

L'nltcd States, nppcar before Tangier nnd de
mund from tho Moorish Government tho recog
nition of n right which docs not exist savo In
tho Imagination of tho jingoes.
"McKInlov pretends that tho United States
Minister sfc) at Tangier Is entitled to enjoy
tho samo privileges as tho rcDrcfontntlves of
tho four European nations to which such priv
ileges wero granted for geographical and his
torical reasons, which tho American disturbers
of international right wish to share. Not
without reason did the German Emperor re
contly say that tho eagerness of tho United
States to Interfero In everything Is ono of tbo
greatest dangers in the wny of universal peace.
"Monroo worked America for the Americans;
but his successors carry their ambition to Asia,
Africa, Occanlcn, and all over the world. Just
as tho low-born who, having become rich, use
their millions moro to tho mortification of oth
ers than to their own enjoyment, these vulgar
tenders of cotton and bacon believe that they
have tho right to strike wherever they please.
In tho face of Europe. Their Stars and Stripes
nro beginning to bo tho symbol of an Intolerable
pollry of Interference in the nffairs of others.
"Of course, if tho powers thould leavo tho old
walls of tbo decrepit African empiro face to
face with the cannon of tho American men-of-war,
Morocco would bavo to yield; but If tho
unwarranted prcicnce of the l'nltcd Statec
meets with an ouergotlc protest from Kngland,
France, nnd Italy wo shall rce tho San Fran

Thcro arc rumors of secret proceedings hero
aiming at tho establishment of a republic In
Spain as a means of averting the horrors of civil
war in the event, now considered probable, of
a final fniluro in Cuba, tho result of which
would bo tho downfall of the monarchy. Hut
It iuii"t not lo Inferred from this that the change
would In nuy way benefit the causo of democ
racy. The scheme, It appears, Is being formu
lated by some of tho very men who during tho
lat twenty-live j ears have monopolized power,
and who. either liecauso they do not wish utter
ly to lo-n their hold on affairs or because they
nre reollv afraid of the udvent of new political
elements intend to bring about the chnnge
without a violent revolution and in such a
innnner that tho reins of power will remain in
their hand-. El I'uia, organ of tho Federal Ite
publican party, says:
"If what Is preparing were to ho carried out
in good f.iltb, we would congratulate ourselves
nnd the country. Hut Instead treason la con
templated. Tho Monarchists are getting ready
treacherously to Btab tho republic by bringing
It In Ithout tho co-opcralion of tho Republi
cans. 'I hey wish to Inlstfy Republican prin
clples by maintaining all tho rottenness and
-orruntlon of the present regime.
"What docs tho country care whether it Is a
Helen or n Peter who rules, if nil the differ

placed by a Presidential chairl No, what the
country wishes Is that the ruling clashes be re
new oil. What good can come from tho worn
out men who now- govern us! Tho republic
cannot bo e-.tabli-hed by Monarchists, whose
every ambition is to contlnuo exploiting the
country."
'Ibe Carllsts have again resumed their agita
tion. At a meeting in the Traditionalist Circle
vehement speeches were delivered by the. Mar
quis do Cerralbo, Scnor Vazquez df Mella, and
tho Marquis do Tamarit. Tbe latter said that
the day Is fat approaching when the Spanish
will hnve to taku heroic measures to sao tho
country, hv re-cstabll-bing the empire of jus
tice and morals under tbo rightful king. Cer
tain Imprudent words which the newspapers
attributed to Sefior Viizquezde Mdla gmcribo
to tho rumor that tho Got eminent would adopt
Mivore measures against thot'arlist propaganda,
and thnt, if the f'arlbts pcr.i-ted in stirring up
public opinion, their circles and casinos would
be eloped. Wh.itcter the Cnrlist speakers may
now my to their followers, there N no fear thnt
Hon I'.irlos is iilsiut to take to arms. It I tni3
that thu lower classes of tho party oro Impa
tient, but the leaders know well that Spain
would never forglu Don Carlos the crime of
taking advantage of .'-piiln's present troubles to
ureas his claims to the throne, nnd so they pre
fer to wait until nn opportunity presents itself
which may, in the eyes of tho ubllc. Justify
Don Carlos in coming to the front ns tho only
possible savior of the country. As far as one
may conjecture, tho Carllsts would gladly sco
tho Cuban liiturgcnts strlko a blow that would
startle Spain and give Don Cailos n good pre
ti't to raise Ills ting.
Theio is some Hiciitlltic agitation In the prov
ince of Hl-eiiy. Tho Government has nullified

forco trains to stop; but this wns not necessary. Jiffs i;
nstho first freight that approached from ths vjaHS'l

Visitabd Haven, Mass., July 23. Tho JEaRltl
steamship Saturn, Cnz. Lewis, from Newport JJ9&1I
News for Boston, arrived here at noon to-dny H5n
and reported tho loss of tho burgo P. C. Merry- "ilEl
man, which she was towing from Norfolk to JBllir
Uoston, with a cargo of 1,357 tons of coal, con- tHfr
signed to Curran Ac Burton of that city. Capt. JMila
C. W. Armstrong of tho barge, his wife, and tlp
two boys, one 7 nnd tho other 11 years of age, "lBit!
who wero with him, together with the crew of 'Uplat
four men, were rescued oy tho Saturn. Peter lr'J'S
Ericsson, ono of thu Saturn s crew, waa HIivs
drowned. ilifiSa
Tho Merryman was abandoned on Wednesday -JFftfi
last off Absceom by the Saturn, which put Into ' yjlfi
New York for medical assistance, her chief ititssiill
engineer, ono of his assistants, nnd a fireman iSSKi!
having been badly scalded by the breaking ot vlrlij
a water column valve in tho llrerooni. The ipSnifl
Merryman, which was considered n stanch sea. tsKI
boat, was formerly nn American bark. With Hl
her threo fore-and-aft sills sho was quite ab'e to- 1-1KI
take caro of herself in ordinary weather. It is HsaU
said that sho was lcaklrg somewhat when hcf -talafl
hawser was cast off by tho Saturn. The Saturn j'saa!
put to sea from Stnten Island on Thur-day in rHanl
search of tho barge, and found her making her i&Xv
way castw ard under sail. The steamship again ikIS
took her in tow. IfSjL
Capt. Armstrong reports that when ths ilil'l
FAturn was about thirty mile eastward of rIbk
Flro Island n violent southerly gale was en- iKBI
countered, with a frishtful tea running, which Aaft
swept over tho barge constantly. She la- WSfg
bored heavily for some hours, but when tho SiKfS
galo was at Its height those on board found SuaS
that the barge had bc?un to leak, and It was 9j3
soon apparent that her pumps could not frea fVB
her. Signals wero fct for the Saturn, nnd !fJ
she steamed down as near as possible to her I
tow nnd shot a line on board. A boat was y8
launched from the Imrge, and the line from tho SMS
steamer was made fast to her. After two sue- MfSI
cessful trips all on board the Slcrryman were 1AW
drawn through tho heavy seas nnd landod WJK
safely alongside the Saturn. Ericsson woi SiVIjI
drowned while assisting In this work. KMiE
