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.

at Rocky Mountain mine No. 5. sit
uated at that place, la believed to have

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

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.

New York. March 22.—A special dis

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,

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

post, as he does not wish to take orders
from Baron Marschall von Blebcr
steln, secretary of state for foreign af

teriously disappeared, and five clean

have been made as yet, and It will prob

Persons passing the ranch Saturday
found Mr*. Holton’s body. 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

bo taken and compelled to oonfeaa. The
latest report comee that a map rtamed

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

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.
