Vi, FOR A NEW TREATY, American auid British Diplomats to Work on Behring Hea. Washington, March 25.—Preliminar ies arc being arranged for the framing of a new treaty between the United States and Great Britain concerning Bering sea seizures. The projected treaty Is rendered necessary by the In action of congress on the Bering sea seizure claims of 1426,000. The purpose of the treaty will be. therefore, to create a commission to hear all the eviendce and determine the amount of Indemnity to be paid the seized sealers. After be ing signed the treaty will have to be submitted to the senate for ratification, and unless there is an extra session this can not be accomplished before next De cember. United States territorial rights in Alaska as against the British claims there have again been brought to the attention of the state department. The fundamental fact to be kept In mind regarding Alaska and the joint British and American survey of last year is that the boundaries will not be Anally settled until they have been made the subject of diplomatic negotiations be tween the governments at London and at Washington, under the terms of the treaty of 1826 between Russia and Great Britain, by which treaty our own rights must be determined. NO MONEY FOR MILITIA. New Orleans Exchange Informs the Gov ernor Funds Are Exhausted. New Orleans, La., March 23.—The re sult of the meeting of the conferenc committee of exchanges on the labor troubles is embodied in the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted and which has been sent to the governor: "Resolved, That it is the sense of the conference committee, in response to the governor's inquiry, that having already more than exhaust ed the supply they have been unable to secure more funds.” This resolution was the outcome of a request by Gov. Foster to know whether any more funds could be raised by private subscription in order to maintain the expense of the military on the river front. It can not be told at this time what will now be done. One thing is sure, the military will not be able to maintain their vigil on the river front unless they are sup plied with necessary money. The reso lution will doubtless bring the levee trouble to some kind of a settlement. Methodist Missionary Celebration. Boston, Mass., March 26.—The twen ty-sixth anniversary of the Woman's Foreign Missionary association of the Methodist Episcopal church was cele brated yesterday at the Tremont Street Methodist Episcopal church.

GEORGE HARDY. WILLIAM LANGDON. — LANGDON. JOHN FEEBEE. WILLIAM WEEDUP. JOHN MARTIN, JR. The disaster occurred at 5:45 o'clock yesterday evening. The explosion In the mine shook the whole country around, wrecked the power plant, a fan house and several other buildings, entailing heavy loss, but the death roll far overshadows all othre considera tions. The bodies that have been re covered were burned and blackened with garments torn to shredB, making It almost Impossible to identify them. How many were in the mine at the time of the explosion will take time to tell, but the best in formation obtain able now places the number at over eighty. Nearly all known to be killed leave large families. Immediately after the explosion Su perintendent Bradbury telephoned to Evanston for all the physicians, with an extra train. The relief corps, carry ing lanterns, got ready to descend in hopes of rescuing alive some of the victims. Brave men had tried to de scend some of the air slopes and es cape slopes without success and it was not until three hours after the explo sion that a volunteer party passed the main entrance to the slopes and soon afterward returned with two bodies. Then it was reported that cavps stop ped further progress down the slope. A party went down to shovel out the caves, after which the searching party again entered and work in that line proceeded. A few lives were saved be cause cf the time of the explosion. The miners quit work at 6 o'clock and it is customary for them to be near the entrance and come out just as the whistle blows. A number of men had come out and some had just left the entrance to the mine slope, away from the working tunnel, when the explosion occurred, thus escaping death. Around the mines is a population of about 2,000. A more sorrowful com munity could not be found. The ex plosion is supposed to have come from a blast setting fire to dust, making a dust explosion, since the mine was supposed to be free from gas, being well ventilated. This Is the third dis astrous explosion in this vicinity. In 1881 No. 2 mine, Rocky Mountain, ex ploded, killing thirty-six Chinese and four white men. In the spring of 1889 an explosion in Union Pacific mine No. 4 killed thirty-six men PASSPORTS FOR TWO. □ linuiBii nuu iiHimn nepitBiMiiuuveB dih; Go Home, Washington, March 22.—Uncle Sam has evidently gone Into the recalling of foreign ministers by the wholesale, for It Is understood his latest victim In this respect Is the Spanish , minister, Senor Don E. de Muruaga. Strictures by the Spanish envly regarding the course pur sued by Secretary Gresham and the ad ministration in regard to the Alllanca case are assigned as the reason for ask ing his recall, an Intimation of which has been conveyed to the American minister of Madrid. The muddle with the Spanish minister recalls the fact that the secretary of state has also recently had to "call down” the representative of the Italian government for being too hasty about telegraphing to the governor of Color ado regarding the lynching of Italians at Denver, Colo. Marquis Imperiall of the Italian legation made himself a lit tle too officious at the state department In this matter, and the announcement Js made that he Is to return to his na tive Italy. Whipped for Joining the Church. Frankfort, Ind., March 22.—The town of Flora was held up Tuesday night by a crowd wanting Mahlon Ehler, a sa loonkeeper, who, It is charged, brutally whipped his two daughters, 12 and 17. because they had joined churches and had assisted in circulating a petition in favor of the celebration of the Nichol son bill, passed by the last legislature. The officers and cooler citizens con- I trolled the crowd. Miu Brlco to Wed a Foreigner. Washington. March 22.—Another heir ess Is reported to be about to wed a foreigner. The reported engagement Is that of Miss Hein Brice, daughtr of J Senator Calvin S. Brice, to Henry Out ram Bax Ironsides, second secretary of the British embassy here. Springer Appointed a Judee. Washington, March 22.—William M. Springer has been appointed Judge of the United States court of the northern district of the Indian Territory. The southern district Judgshlp was given to Constantine Buckley Kilgore of Texas. HAS TAKEN ACTION, Tha United Htetn ITtni Grant * Britain. Washington. March 23.— Great Britain must show Its hand In regard to Nicar agua, according to the tenor of a com munication made to her majesty's gov ernment yesterday by Secretary Gresh am. It was set forth that statements had been made to the effect that a de mand had been made upon the Central American republic for an Indemnity. In the event that Nicaragua declined to accede to this demand the United States wants to know Just what England pur poses to do. There was no beating about the bush, but a straightforward easily Interpreted document was cabled across the water to Ambassador Bayard with Instructions to lay the matter be fore the proper authorities. Minister Gusman has not received any Intimation from the Nicaraguan government that England has made the demand report ed, and consequently at the legation it Is asserted thero la ho foundation for such a story. All the evidence at the disposal of the Nicaraguan minister Is to the effect that Mr. Hatch, In whose behalf the claim for damages Is being made, was never connected In any man ner with the English consulate at Man agua. After their expulsion Hatch and his English colleagues went to the moth er country, and It was expected that would be the last they would be heard of In Central America. Subsequently, however, while the Americans who had been caught with Hatch were adjusting matters In connection with their busi ness a general amnesty was proclaimed, and under the provisions of this act It was unnecessary for them to leave Nicaragua, as the Englishmen had done. Consequently they took up busi ness at the same old stand, and the Englishmen could have done so, too, had they remained In Nicaragua. Dur ing all these proceedings there was not even a suggestion that Mr. Hatch repre sented Great Britain either as a procon sul or In any other diplomatic capacity. Under these circumstances the mem bers of the Nicaraguan legation do not see how Great Britain can possibly have an equitable claim for damages against their government. HOT FIRE AT SIOUX CITY. Warehouse of the Western Implement Company Ie Burned. Sioux City, Iowa, March 22.—The storage house of the Western Transfer ana implement company tooK nre tins morning and burned to the ground. The building was a four-story frame structure and was full of farm ma chinery. The loss on the building will probably reach {160,000. The heat was so great that the firemen were handi capped In fighting the flames, which spread to the works of the National Linseed Oil company, which are lo cated close by. Fire is now burning In the storage building, In which about $100,000 worth of oils are stored. It Is thought the flames will spread to the main building, and If they do the loss will be $100,000 to $160,000 more, and other surrounding plants will be in danger. The fire Is thought to have been started by a spark from a passing en gine falling into a barrel of tar stand ing outside the Implement warehouse. No estimates In Insurance are obtain able. MUST "TOE THE MARK." Spain's Answer to Secretary Gresham's Demands Expected Soon. Washington, March 22.—Spain's re ply to Secretary Gresham’s demands, growing out of the Alliance Incident, Is expected by the administration to reach the state department within twenty-four hours. The authorities have come to the conclusion that suffi cient time has elapsed for Spain to have made a full Investigation of the Insult to the American flag. Unless a reply from Spain is received within that time and unless there are new complications In the Spanish political situation, Minister Taylor will be di rected to urge the Spanish authorities to answer Secretary Gresham's de mands at once. Their Investigation Is complete with the report of the Span ish commander and according to state department officials there can be no further excuse for delay. No dilatory tactlCB will be allowed. Spain must toe the mark and soon, too. or an ultima tum will be sent which will probably call for prompt action on Its part. American Apples In Demand. Washington, March 22.—The foreign demand for apples grown In the United States has always been In excess of the supply. Great Britain alone, dur ing the nine months ending September, 1894, paid the orchids of the United States *2,500,000. In view of the fact that the entire apple crop is somtlmes threatened by the worms that Infest the trees, Secretary Morton has had the matter Investigated and finds that spraying with a solution of paris green Is a simple and effective remedy which he urges all farmers and horticulturists to try. Big Blaze In Alabama Opelika, Ala., March 22.—A telegram was received here at 10 o’clock this morning that the whole town of La Fayette, Ala., was burning and asking for help. Mayor Daugherty promptly had the fire department called out and gotten ready to leave for the scene, but before arrangements could be com pleted for a special train Information was received that the fire was under control. The whole business portion of the town is understood to be de stroyed. Pern I. to (lave Peace. New York. March 22.—A special dis patch from Barranco, Peru, says that through the Intervention of diplomats, a provisional government for Peru has been formed. War Now Likely. Washington. March 22.—The state ment was published in a local paper here that the Mexican congress would declare war on Guatemala as soon as the congress assembles next month, and a long acount of the reasons therefor was given. Senor Romero, the Mexican minister, said he was sure his govern ment would not be willing to submit to arbitration the amount to be paid for damages, and that he did not know how Mexico would recede from Its de mand for an apology. It Is the opinion among diplomats here that war be tween the two countries is unavoid able, ( AMEBICA SHOULD ACT MONROE DOCTRINE TO BE PUT TO A TEST. fh« Demands Mud* Upon NlmniM By Great Britain—An Incident that Vrom* laa* to laad to Tronlilo—QnnlloM of Indemnity—What They Grow Out of— Term* of the Itrltlah Ultimatum Con* alderrd I'nnanally Severe. The Demands of Great Britain. Washington, March 20.—tt Is Impos sible to learn positively whether tha ■tate department has been fully advised officially of the demands made upon Nicaragua by Great Britain, as reported In the cable dispatches from Managua, but from the fact that Gen. Barrios, who was appointed an ambassador by the Nicaraguan government to endeav or to settle the differences with Great Britain, has been In Washington for a week, and has paid several visits to tho state department In company with Dr. Gusmun, the resident Mlcaraguan min Gusman, the resident Nicaraguan mln States government Is fully poated In regard to the matter. It cannot be dented that this new In cident. taken In connection with tha hostile attitude of Great Britain to ward Venesuela, promises to lead to trouble of a ohdracter much more ser ious than the little Incident of the Al liance, which has caused such a commo tion. The administration Is evidently to be put In a position where It must lay down a new construction of the Monroe doctrine or elao abandon all concern In the future of the smaller re publics of Central and South America. In Venesuela It Is alleged that the British are steadily extending their ter ritory line and encroaching upon Vene suelan territory In spite of the strong protests of the Venesuelan government and the repeated urging of the United States that the question of boundary should be settled by a resort to arbitra tion, not of a part of a question, exclud ing the main Issue as desired by Great Britain, but by tho admission of tho whole Issue. But there are also questions of Indem nity arising In Venezuela, growing oul of claims preferred by other European nations, and there are Indications noted by officials here to show that these ur« belnr Dressed bv concerted actions. Many of the claims for Indemnity grow out of the failure of these repub lics to meet their obligations to foreign debtors under the stress of hard times and the Influence of the worldwide de pression In trade. As the European governments appear to be moving to collect these Individual debts on their own account, it Is a ques tion that the United States must speed lly settle as to how far It Is prepared to permit process' to go on. As to Nicaragua, It is felt here that the terms of the British ultimatum are unduly severe. Besides, there Is a rather disagreeable reflection upon American citizens in the stipulation that none such shall serve on the com mission to adjudge the damage. On the whole, It is more probable the pres ident will Interpose to secure at least an amelioration of the term of the ultimatum by an appeal to the British government, representing the great hardship that It would work to Nicara gua under Its present depressed condi tion to prefer a demand for so large an Indemnity as S7fl nnn. WILL NOT BULLY SPAIN. United States Will Proceed SlowlJ and Carefully. Washington, March 20.—As a result of a conference between President Cleveland, Secretary Gresham, Chair man McCreary of the house committee on foreign affairs. Senator Frye of the corresponding committee In thj senate, and others it has been practically de cided to give Spain ample opportunity to demonstrate Its position In the Al llanca case. Having sent a sharp note demanding an apology and the preven tion of similar occurences in the future Uncle Sam will now give his Spanish neighbors time to breathe. The admin istration having entered on a vigorous foreign policy is anxious to avoid the charge of bullying a weaker nation. The principal reason for abandoning the Idea of any Immediate show of force In Cuban waters Is that desire. 8paln will be given all reasonable opportunities to make the necessary Investigation and show Its good faith. When Spaln*once admits the tiring on an American mall steamer some sort of reparation must follow. Marked Discrepancy la Reports. Sioux City, Iowa, March 20.—The an nual reports of the chief of police and the police judge show a large discrep ancy In of receipts of money. The for mer reports an aggregate of 241,000 re ceipts on account of fines. The latter reports an aggregate of only about $10,000. Early In the year a scandal arose In the collection of fines by the police and an order was made that all moneys be paid to the police judge. Their reports now develop an aston ishing difference. Herbert Bismarck Declines. New York, March 20.—A cablegram to the Herald from St. Petersburg says Count Herbert Bismarck, who was reported to have been chosen as Gen. von Werder's successor, has re fused to accept the St. Petersburg post, as he does not wish to take orders from Baron Marschall von Blebcr steln, secretary of state for foreign af fairs. _ Methodists in Conference. Burlington,- N. J., March 20.—The fifty-ninth annual session of the New Jersey the Methodist conference began in the Broad Street Methodist Epis copal church this morning and will be continued for a week. Bishop Stephen M. Merrill, D. D., of Chicago, presided. About 300 ministers and delegates are present . Eighty Thousand Dollar Shortage at the Carson Plant. Carson, Nev., March 20.—Andrew Mason, government mint Inspector and superintendent of the N ew York assay department, has been in Carson for the last week Inspecting the United States mint. Somewhat over $30,000 has mys teriously disappeared, and five clean ups in quick succession, as it was thought that some clerical error had been made, failed to reveal the cause of the shortage. No direct charges have been made as yet, and It will prob ably be some days before the mystery Is unearthed. i LOEBER CONFESSES. UlIwukM Murder Mystery Is Cleared Up. I Ruttr. Nob.. March 20.—Some time Friday Mrs. W El.

The coroner found WO on the woman’* person, which Is regarded aa certnln evidence the crime was not committed by tramp*, a* was at first supposed. Her struggle for life had been a hard one. The bed ding and clothing of the woman were torn and scattered about the building. Her shoes had evidently been removed, probably by herself, preparatory to go ng to bed, when surprised by the lynchers. The woman had evidently . been assaulted before she wae hanged, »nd everything polnte to a premeditat ed plan for the perpetration of the dastardly deed. m !",cxpet:ted that aeveral hanging* will take place before long. Many per ione are under eueplclon, and these will bo taken and compelled to oonfeaa. The latest report comee that a map rtamed Hunt le Implicated In some way and It le thought he can be forced Into a con fession. The proximity of the Indian reserva tion to the scene of the depredation • makes It possible that a United States leputy marshal may have to make the trrests It warrants are sworn out. ■ The killing of Mrs. Holton Is the worst criminal chapter In the history of northwestern Nebraska. The condi tions out of which the crime has been tvolved had their origin in tho early lettlement of the county by the cattle men, and the operations of rustlers, tho result being the organisation of a vigil ance committee. Doth the rustlers and the vigilantes are alleged to have had organizations extending over this en tire territory, and lynchlngs nnd mys terious killings have hren numerous. JOHN BULL NOT IN IT. Has Nothing to Do with the 'Mexican O asternal an Mess. Washington, March 20—Senor Rom ero, the Mexican minister here, has en IflPOfl (1 fnrmnl ilonlul nl f Via nnnunanu i'M V Si 4 * V. ’ ‘ .r.j - • :?* 9$ ri&Sl f.. .j 00, '■M ■ /■ m ■ V m 7;" of the published statement that the trouble between Mexico and Guatemala Js due to the Influence of a British syn-. dtcate, which controls the Tehuante pec railway from fear of the competi tion of the Guatemala road. The min ister asserts that the Tehuantepec rail way is not controlled by a British syn dicate, but Is owned by the Mexican government; that Its natural advan tages are so pronounced that the pro jected railroad cannot compete with It successfully, and Anally that a war would only delay and would not pre vent the completion of the new road. It would also appear, says the minister, that British bondholders would have much more to lose than to gain by a war which would tend to reduce the value of their securities. ■«ho of Iron Unit Failure. Indianapolis, Ind., March 20.—In the Criminal court the Indictment against Mark C. Davis, ex-supreme treasurer of the order of the Iron Hall, which has been standing for three terms of court, was quashed, and Davis’ bondsmen were released. The Indictment obtained against ex-Supremc Justice gomerby at the same time will soon be dls-> . missed. j ■\i. Sinking of an American Not Credited, Washington, March 20.—The state de partment has had no Information from official sources touching the report that the Spanish cruiser Arcedo fired upon, and sank a small American schooner oft the Cuba coast, and the report flnds lit tle credence here. The naval register shows that the Arcedo Is a small, schooner-rigged Iron gunboat, built In. Spain in 1883 and of nine knots speed. It Is not known whether It Is In Cuban, waters.
