Holcomb last week issued the legal proclamation for the approaching election. Nebraska electors will have a chance to vote for eight presidential electors , six congressmen , governor and state officers , one regent of state uni versity to fill vacancy , two contingent judges of the supreme caurt , thirty- three state senators , about one hun dred state representatives , and also the proposed amendments to the state con stitution. The West Nebraska conference of the M. E. church convened at Ogallala. There were 200 ministers in attend ance , who were entertained by the.cit- izens of that place. The first day's exercises were principally class exami nations. In the evening an address of weleome was delivered by Hon. L. B. Rector of Ogallala and response was made by D. D. Forsyth of Elm Creek , after which Bev. It S. Moore delivered the conference sermon. Joe Pinkava , a farmer living near Crab Orchard , Gage county , beat his wife with a hatchet , breaking her skull in several places and mangled her body badly. Doctors say she will not live. After the assault Pinkava ran to his neighbor's , borrowed a revolver , stating after securing it , that he would shoot himself. He ran for the woods and fired two shots at a tree. As no trace of his body can be found it is be lieved that he fled. Parties are in pur suit. Family troubles seem to be the cause. The executive committee has foun ( it necessary to postpone the' meeting of the fourth annual convention of the Nebraska state irrigation association , to have been held at Lexington from October 7 , 8 and 9 to November 19 , 20 and 21. The selection of these dates was thought to be essential to the most complete success of the meeting. There were conflicting meetings and engagements of a large number who were particularly anxious to attend , and the change was made by unani mous decision. Edward E. Spencer of Otoe county , who was charged with the murdb of John Bicker and found guilty of man slaughter , was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary by Judge Ramsey. Other sentences were passed as fol lows : Charles Ferguson , five years for the larceny of some harness belonging to a farmer near PalmyraQuiller ; Beck , convicted for stealing hogs , four years ; Henry Webber who dug his way out of jail a few days ago , but was "captured and brought back , pleaded guilty to a charge of daylight burglary , and got two years. Joe Price , the young man who stab bed George Stadler at Cedar Creek , Cass county , was brought to Platts- mouth by the sheriff and lodged in the the county jail. Stadler is lying in a precarious condition , with five knife wounds in his body. He is resting easy , but the physician says he may yet have a relapse. Stadler had fallen to the ground when Price first stabbed him , and the knife was plunged into his body four times while he was held on the ground by his murderous assailant The quarrel arose over the payment of a keg of beer. The fortunate discovery of three finely tempered saws beneath a strip of carpet on the turnstyle which admits prisoners of the county jail from the outer corridor , undoubtedly prevented a general jail delivery at the county jail in Lincoln. It is supposed that the saws were introduced in plugs of to bacco , bestowed upon prisoners by thoughtful friends. The jail at this time contains a large number of des perate criminals , among whom are the notorious thief , Bill. Rose , and Hagey , the alleged murderer of the eastern capitalist , W. F. Eyster. Washington dispatch : Secretary Francis today rendered a number of decisions , his first since assuming office. The cause of the United States against Thomas Cooper , Win. J. Gillen and Kit Carson Cattle companj * , from McCook district of Nebraska was finally dis posed of by the secretary's refusing to entertain a motion filed by the defend ants for a review of the departmental decision refusing to re-instate the Mc- Gillen homestead entry. It was held that the cattlecompany was not an in nocent purchaser within the meaning of the act of March 3 , 1891.

The 14-year-old son of Dr. Armstrong of Beatrice , died as the result of a fall from a bicycle , in which he sustained concussion of the brain. Many farmers of Platte county have lost hogs recently with cholera or some similar disease. Some have lost but , a few , while the losses of others has been heavy. Some say it is not the old fashioned cholera , but do not pretend to name the disease. Sheriff Nelson took possession of the Tribune newspaper plant at Beatrice on a writ of replevin issued by the coun ty court in an action wherein Ed.S.Mil- ler is the plaintiff. Miller holds title to the office by virtue of a bill of sale.

GREAT BRITAIN IN NO CONDITION FOR A WAR ON TURKEY. QUITS PARTY LEADERSHIP. issue Taken With Both the Extremist ! and Air. Gladstone and Ills Follow ers Great Britain's Interests All for Peace His Retirement irrevocable AsqnltU Fropable Successor. Edinburgh , Oct 12. Four thousand people gathered in the Empire theater here last night to hear Lord Rosebery , the retiring leader of the Liberal par ty , explain his motives in retiring. When he appeared the whole assem bly sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow. " Lord Rosebery said that he had resigned because he could not sacrifice national interests to personal ambi tion. He welcomed the national agi tation in Great Britain on behalf of Armenia , because it would convince foreign governments of Great Brit ain's unselfish integrity and would strengthen the hands of the" govern ment , but the present agitation , Lord Rosebery pointed out , differed from Mr. Gladstone's Bulgarian agitation. In dealing with the various remedies proposed for the settlement of the Turkish question , the speaker said : "The mere deposition of the sultan would be no remedy , as the system and not the man must be tackled. More , this would be impossible with out the concert of the powers , and if that were attained it would be better to call upon it to deal with the larger issue involved. The proposal to withhold the Cyprus tribute is im practicable , as this is paid to the sul tan's creditors and not to the sultan , as it would be like tickling the tor toise's back to make it laugh. " ' Regarding the proposal to place th e Dardanelles or Turkey in the hands of Russia , Lord Rosebery pointed out that neither of these was Great Brit ain's to dispose of , and Russia's meth ods were not so ideal as to warrant British acquiescence. He also differed from Mr. Gladstone's proposal to cut off diplomatic relations with Turkey , but they differed , he added , as friends. A warm eulogy of Mr. Gladstone followed , but the ex-premier contin ued that he even deprecated' the pro posal of such a thing , as it would not only deprive Great Britain of all her influence with lurkey , but might drive it into war , and itsjfailure would leave Great Britain in the same posi tion plus the public humiliation of confessing her impotence. Lord Rosebery also differed from Mr. Gladstone in his contention that Great Britain was bound in honor by the Cyprus convention to intervene. "Peace , " Lord Rosebery affirmed , "is a necessity of your empire. For the last twenty years you have been laying hands with frantic eagerness on every available and desirable tract of territory. The amount thus brought into your possession or sphere of influence in the last twelve vears is 1\5UO,000 square miles. This policy has produced two results first the ex citing of an almost intolerable degree of envy in the other colonizing na tions , entailing their malevolence now instead of their benevolence ; second , the making of an unwieldy empire , difficult to administer and to defend until a long period of peace effects its consolidation. " After reminding his audience how Cobden , Bright and Gladstone had been publicly reviled for the advocacy of an unpopular peace policy , Lord Roseberry declared : "Although I am aware that it is unpopular to advocate diplomatic methods. I shall never cease to exert my voice and strength against England engaging in such a dangerous war , of which you can see the eloquent commencement , but no body living can see the catastrophe or the end. " Unless his retirement should pro duce unity , Lord Roseberry said , the sacrifice would have been in vain. He advised them that whoever was chosen leader , they should support him loyally , , for a united party , be hind an inferior leader was better than a disgruntled party behind the best leader. He closed by thanking his colleagues for their kindness , and predicted that Mr. Asquith's qualities of head and heart would eventually lead him to the highest office in the state. Augustine Dirrell , member .of Par liament for the West division of Fife , then moved a .resolution requesting that Lord Roseberry should recon sider his resignation. This was car ried unanimously. . Mr. Asquith , in his speech , sup ported the resolution , declaring that Lord Roseberry enjoyed the full con fidence of all his late colleagues. Lord Roseberry. replying , said that his decision to retire was the result ' of mature reflection and was absolute and was taken under a conviction of necessity. National Democrats Not Allowed. Indianapolis , Ind. . Oct. 12. The State election commission , composed of Governor Matthews. John W. Kern and R. O.

On appli cation of Chairman Hodges of the Mc- Ktnley Republican State committee , the supreme court issued a writ of mandamus requiring Secretary of State MeGaffey to appear Monday and show cause why lie should notv certify the nominations of the Republican State convention to the county clerks , to be printed on the official ballots. Upon the issue of this suit will hinge the question whether any votes can be cast in Colorado for McKinley - Kinley and Hobart except by writing the names of the electors in the blank spaces on the ballot. g SBa ? att sB l | | w" MTw 1'St | l' ' ' " ' " ; • - jt I NO STATE FUSION. She Missouri Democratic Committee Ignores the I'opullit Proposition. St. Loins , Mo. , Oct 12. That there will be no fusion between the Dem ocrats and the Populists on the state ticket was settled by the action of the Democratic state committee to-day. After a session of fifteen minutes , it formally ratified the action of the sub-committee in effecting fusion on the electoral ticket by giving the Pop ulists four places , and adjourned without even discussing the proposi tion of the Populists to give them two places on the Democratic state ticket in return for not putting put their list of nominees. Immediately after the meeting Sec retary Love said the Democrats would file their joint electoral ticket and their regular Democratic state ticket at once. When apprised of the action of the Democratic state committee Chairman Rosseile , of the Populist state com mittee said he would also file at once the complete Populist ticket nom inated at Sedalia. BOLD AMAZONS IN CUBA. Daring Deeds of a Band of Women Led by an Avenging Senorita. Chicago , Oct. 12. A special from Key West says : "Advices from Remedies - edios tell of the gallant deeds of a band of Amazons headed by Senorita Martini Hernandez Perez. They are mounted and have been in the vicinity of Vueltas for some time. Last Satur day afternoon Senorita Perez , at the head of her band , dashed upon the town. Twelve Spanish soldiers at 'the gate were put to the machete. The Amazons then rode through the streets cutting down other Spanish soldiers who were lounging in front of a cafe. In the plaza 200 Spaniards were charged. The Spaniards fired a volley , which killed three Amazons , and then fled to the barracks after losing eight of their number. A year ago Martinez's fiancee was a captain in the Cuban army , but after he was captured and put to death by the Spaniards , she vowed vengeance and organized her band , the members of which are sworn to never spare a Spaniard. " FOR -WEYLER'S RECALL. Conservatives in Cuba Dem ind a Chanso Home Rale and Peace Pomiblc- • New Orleans , La. , Oct 12. A spe cial cable to the Pica3'une from Ha vana says : "I have been reliably in formed and have seen a cop"y of a telegram sent by the Spanish element , the Conservatives , against General Weyler , asking for his removal on the ground that his continuing in office means the sure loss of the island. The telegram farther recites the fact that a large part of the Cuban element will be willing to accept home rule if with it will be appointed another cap tain general. There is a positive as surance from friends here to the ef fect that General Martinez Campos is willing and anxious so return to Cuba , but that he will not come until he brings the home rule concessions with him.

Ten Thousand Homos , Including Every Bank in the City , Burned All or the Grocery and Supply Houses Destroyed Intense Suffering Is Certain Before Supplies Arrive. An Awful Holocaust. Guayaquil , Ecuador , Oct. 10. It la estimated that the financial loss to the city by the fire of Monday night and Tuesday will run far up in the millions. Some reports estimate it as over 50 million dollars. Many lives were lost , just how many it is impos sible to say , as yet , and over 35,000 persons are homeless. Two thousand houses , including every bank in the city , of which there were-five , were burned. The customs house , theater and many other public buildings were also swept away and the entire business portion of the city was laid waste. Practically all of the grocery and 6upply stores are gone and thousands of residents , homeless and hungry , swarm the streets and the neighbor ing woods. It is impossible from the present food supply in and near Guay aquil , to supply the sufferers , and un til assistance reaches here from other cities in Ecuador the suffering will be intense. The flames .destroyed many lives before those who were asleep could be warned of tire impending danger. Scores are missing , and , though it is impossible 'to estimate the number of deaths now , the figures will of necessity - sity be large. The fire started in a small dry goods store. It is believed that this store was fired by incendiaries. The police have made several arrests so far , and the people are so wrought up that numerous threats to lynch or burn the prisoners at the stake have been made. Business , in the meantime , has been entirely suspended , and every effort is directed toward reliev ing the distress of the sulFerers. WEYLER DECEIVES LEE. The Spanish General Deliberately mis represents Treatment of American' * . New York , Oct. 10. A special from Ilarana "says Weyler is fooling Lee. The order prohibiting the American consul general from visiting the mili tary prison keeps him from person ally investigating the condition of Americans imprisoned there. He haste to rely on what Weyler tells him. In their last interview Gen eral Lee complained of the unsanitary conditions of the cells the American prisoners were in. Weyler replied boldly : 'Oh , I have attended to this matter. They have been removed to cells 41 and 42. ' General Lee retired , flattered at his supposed success , not knowing that the Americans have always occupied cells Nos. 41 and 42. Those cells , b3' the way , are gloomy and so damp that water oozes from the ceiling and trickles down the walls , wetting the floor , which never dries. In one of these wretched cells are Melton , the American newspaper correspondent , and George Aguirre , locked with a man suffering from . " small-pox.

He said three great questions were at issue currency , tariff and , the question whether an appeal lay from the supreme 'eourt to a mob. As to the first question Colonel In gersoll said that money is a part of nature , and does not have to be re deemed ( , for it is the redeemer. Green backs i are not money , neither is a sil ver dollar containing less than a dollar - lar J ' s worth of silver unless it be exchangeable - changeable ' for gold. It would take a ! dollar's worth of raper to make a dollar on its own merits. The speaker - er said that coing money added no more , to its value than measuring to j grain or weighing of coal. , POLITICS ON CHICAGO DAY 1i Republicans and Silver aien Celebrate by : Parades and Speeches.
