running at a high rate of speed, he be
lieving there was nothing to obstruct
a quick run to Jersey City. The first

with blood. I knew that something
terrible had happened and put on the

track was drenched in blood. The
meadows and the track looked like a
battlefield covered with bodies. The
shrieks of the dying drowned the cries

fainted and men turned away in hor

Kot One Escaped.
There were 20 men in the gang, and
it is reported that not one escaped in

Washington, Nov. 19—News of
mixed character came to the navy de
partment Friday from Admiral Dewey
touching the situation in the Philip
pines. The admiral sent two of his war
ships, the Charleston and the Concord,
some time ago to the southward, from
Manila to ascertain whether there was
truth in the reports that the insurgents
had extended their activities in that di
rection. Friday he cabled as follows:
"Manila. Nov. 18. 1898.—Secretary Navy,
Washington: Charleston and Concord ar
rived from Ilollo. Olass reports that the
entire island of Panay Is in possession of
Insurgents except llollo, which Is defended
by 800 Spanish troops. AH foreign citizens
there beg for American protection. The
island of Negros has declared independence
and desires American protectorate.
(Signed) "DEWEY."
Glass is the commander of the
Charleston. So far nothing has been
done by the administration towards
curbing the insurgents in their opera
tions save verbal representations from
the American commanders to Aguin
aldo, in which it has' been pointed out
to him that it would be good policy, in
view of the probability of the annexa
tion of the islands by the United States,
to pursue a course that would not be
obnoxious to the United States. But,
the situation is now realized to be crit
ical. So far as the Spaniards are con
cerned, perhaps they can be left to take
care of themselves, but the foreign resi
dents at Iloilo are differently regarded.
The difficulty in the situation is that
with the best intentions to intervene to
protect the Europeans and other for
eigners and to save the city of Iloilo,
the second in importance in the Philip
pine group, from looting, the United
States forces appear to be stopped un
der the rules of war from moving from
their positions. Such is the construc
tion placed upon the clause in the pro
tocol relating to a suspension of hos
tilities.
The immediate effect of this state of
affairs may be to hasten action in the
Paris conference, for it is only by the
termination of that tribunal that the
United States can come to the relief of
the beleaguered Spaniards in Iloilo and
at other points. It is said to be a fact,
however, that a total disagreement at
Paris may result in speedier action than
if the commissioners agreed upon the
main principles of the Philippine ces
sion, for, in such case, several additional
sessions probably would be required in
order to arrange the details of the
treaty.
It is now thought to be certain that
the commission at a meeting next Mon
day or Tuesday will do one of two
things, i. e., either agree to the cession
cf the Philippines or note a disagree
ment and dissolve the meeting, for the
administration is not disposed to toler
ate further delay and has so instructed
the United States commissioners. The
latter sent a long cablegram Friday in
cipher. The deciphering occupied the
entire official day and meantime there
were wild rumoi'3 touching the nature
of its contents. As a matter of fact, it
was nothing' more than an extremely
verbose statement of the Spanish side
of the case relating to the Philippines.
There was a renewal of the attempts to
take issue with the American conten
tion as to the meaning of the protocol
clause relative to the disposition of the
Philippines, and much quibbling, ac
companied by quotations from French,
Spanish and other European languages,
in the effort to demonstrate to Amer
icans just what an English word might
mean. The latter will take no notice of
this kind of a hair-splitting plea, but
at to-day's meeting will call on the
Spanish commissioners to make answer
to the American proposition to cede the
Philippines, probably allowing until
Monday or Tuesday only for a final and
responsive answer on that point.
PASSED AWAY.
Death of Col. Thomaa C. Donaldson,
Author of "Public Domain"
aad Other Book*.
Philadelphia, Nov. 19.—Col. Thomas
C. .Donaldson died at his home in this
city Friday from a complication of dis
eases, aged 55 years. He had been ill
for a long time. Col. Donaldson was fa
inous as a collector of antiquities. His
catalogue of works of art, books, relics,
historical documents and rarities is not
excelled in any private collection in this
country, or in very few museums. He
did valuable work in historical fields.
His "Public Domain," a volume of 2,000
pages, was completed for the United
States government in eight years and
still stands as the only complete refer
ence history of public lands, their ac
quisitions, distribution, grants, surveys,
colonization and allotment. He was
also the author of "George Cailin's In
dian Gallery," "Walt Whitman, the
Man," and other equally interesting
books.

aad int Math Wauaded.
By some means Convicts O'Xeil and
Atkinson, who are serving IS years for
robbery, obtained possession of a re
volver and proceeded to carry out a
bold plan to escape. One covered his
face with a handkerchief and went into
the broom shop where he held up Guard
Lime and took his revolver. He then
returned to the hoe shop, where the
other man joined him, and they opened
fire upon Guard Lauterbach. who was in
charge of that department.
The guard was shot three times and
almost instantly killed. The sound of
the shooting reached the other offi
cials in the prison, and they came on the
run to investigate. Guard Gump was
the first on the scene, and, taking in the
situation at a glance, opened fire on the
two prisoners. This was returned, and
a regular battle was in progress until
the revolvers of all the participants
were emptied.
In the fray Convict Atkinson was
shot down and seriously injured and,
as soon as the guns were emptied. Guard
Gump rushed in with his cane and al
most beat O'Neil to death before the
prisoner would surrender. The men
were taken to the hospital, where their
injuries were attended to. Atkinson
was shot in the body, but is not thought
to be seriously hurt, but O'Neil was so
beaten about the head that his injuries
may result fatally.
The other prisoners in the shop
where the shooting occurred took no
part in the affair, but it is understood
that they stood ready to follow if the
efforts of the two leaders proved suc
cessful. Previous to making the out
break one of the two prisoners forced
a third man to place a ladder against
the outside of the penitentiary wall, so
that when they had fought their way
out of the shops they could shoot down
the wall guard and make their escape
by that route.
Frank O'Neil and John Atkinson are
serving their third terms. Atkinson
says that O'Neil received two guns on
the 4th of July, when visitors were
allowed in the prison. They were hid
den by Atkinson, the two men decid
ing to wait for fall before trying to es
cape.
They hnd been waiting for three
weeks for an opportunity.
Atkinson was shot twice in the right
arm and O'Neil has two severe scalp
wounds. Neither is fatally hurt.
KEELEY IS DEAD.
The inventor of the Famous Motor
Passes Away In Philadelphia
—His Career.
Philadelphia, Nov. 19.—John W. Kee
ley, the inventor of the Keeley motor,
died Friday at his home in this city from
pneumonia. He was taken ill on Sat
urday last and continued to grow
steadily worse until his death. Mr.
Keeley was 01 years of age and leaves a
widow.
[Mr. Keeley was a native of Philadel
phia. His education was meager and at
an early age he became a carpenter, fol
lowing that trade until 1872. It was in
that year that he announced his discovery
of a new force by which motive power
would be revolutionized. Following this he
constructed what has become known as the
Keeley motor. On November 10, 1874, he
gave its first public exhibition before a
number of capitalists and scientists who
advanced $100,000 to enable him to perfect
his discovery and apply the principle.
Since then large sums of money have been

expended on experiments without any
practical public results. Between 1&74 and
1891, Keeley constructed and discarded 129
different models. In his first model he
employed water as a generator but later
tne experiments were made with what he
called a "liberator," a machine equipped
with a large number of tuning forks,
which, he claimed, disintegrated the air
and released a powerful etherlc force. In
1688 he was for a time confined in Jail for
contempt of court for refusing to disclose
the secret by which he produced many re
markable effects in the presence of ex
perts, but until his death the secret was
known only to himself. Among those In
terested in his scientific efforts was Mrs.
Bloomfleld Moore, the well-known society
woman, who advanced sums of money to
Keeley for the purpose of his invention.]

SOUTH DAKOTA MEWS
Fargo, N. D., Nov. ia—Retains from
all over the state continue to increase
the republican majority. The figures
are now palced at 6,200, and may reach
as high as 8,000.
The landslide has become to great
that the republicans themselves are
wondering what has struck the state.
Halland gains from latest reports. The
republican legislators have increased to
76 out of 93. Complete returns in Cass
county give a total vote of slightly over
4,000. Some o^the leading figures are:
For congress: Spaulding, 2,017 Creel,
1.395- For governor: Fancher, 2,611
Holmes, 1,411. Halland received 2.tto.

A GRANDSON HELD FOR MUR
DER.
The funeral of Mrs. Hedstrom. the
old lady who was brutally murdered at
her farm 30 miles north of Bismarck,
took place from Slaughter, a little vil
lage near by. The coroner's inquest
failed to develop anything that throws
much light on the mystery of the mur
der. From all appearances, the victim
of the crime had gone to bed for the
night and had in some manner been
summoned from bed. She was struck
first in the kitchen, a blow which
knocked her down and from which she
bled profusely. She then staggered in
to the bedroom, where she was struck
once or twice and killed. A 14-year
old grandson of the unfortunate woman
is held in jail as a witness, and is sus
pected of knowing more concerning the
crime than he has told. The inquest
will be resumed later, when the officers
will make further efforts to ascertain
more regarding the crime.
HIS BARN BURNED.
The barn on the F. B. Fancher place
owned by Gus Saal, six miles northeast
of Jamestown, burned. There were a
number of horses and cattle in the barn,
all of which were burned. Twenty-six
hundred bushels of wheat were con
sumed by
a
the flames. The loss falls
quite heavily on Mr. Saal just at this
time. The grain was insured for $1,200,
but there was no insurance on the
horses or barn. Gov.-elect Fancher,
who formerly owned the place, is inter
ested in the wheat, a portion of it being
the share which he received in payment
on the land.
CHEESE FACTORY.
Down in Dickey county the fanners
of Spring Valley township are agitating
the erection of a cheese factory in that
neighborhood in the early spring. M.
M. Cook has taken hold of the project
and is quite confident that if the matter
is brought before the people as he sees
it, the factory will be ready to operate
early next summer. Mr. Cook is in
favor of building a plant large enough
to work the milk from thirty cows, as
he believes that number could readily
be found within a reasonable distance
from the factory.
KILLED.
Michael Groff, a well known farmer
living fourteen miles east of Hannah
and near Mt. Carmel, was instantly
killed by a runaway team. The run
aways were attached to an empty grain
wagon, and as the old man dashed
ahead of them the wagon tongue struck
him squarely in the forehead, breaking
through the skull. He left a wife and
eleven children.
