Next Move Was to I«oot the Pity and
Pillac* Property.
SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 23.—'The
Times prints the following from Vic
toria. B. G\:
There was an organized conspiracy
to seize Dawson, secure the barracks
of the Northwest mounted police with
their arms and ammunition, loot the
banks and pillage the property of the
rich northern gold fields. These facts
are confirmed.
James Seeley, formerly of this city,
now head of the secret service of the
Northwest mounted police, who is in
this city, says that not, only was there
a conspiracy to overthrow Canadian
rule in the Yukon and loot Dawson,
but the scheme hatched by the con
spirators was a very feasible one anti
had its existence not been discovered*
by the secret service of the Yukon and
nipped in the hud, the conspirators
could have accomplished their purpose
and after taking Dawson could have
held that place and the Yukon for six
weeks or two months and by then
they would be overwhelmed and each
man of the raiders would be a fugitive
from the avengers.
The conspiracy was born at Dawson
and had a branch at Skagway, Rut no
existence in any other point to the
south of Skagway, although efforts
were made to secure the assistance
of pro-Boer sympathizers in Seattle
and other points In the United States.
It was at Dawaon that the plot was
made last summer. Several Americans
who had drifted to Dawson got to
gether and formed an organization
which was culled the Order of the
Midnight Sun. A number of others
were gathered in and the order grew
until there were several hundred ad
herents in September when the mem
bers of the secret service In the
Yukon became aware of its existence.

Savings Grow
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—A movement
is on foot among the savings banks
of this city to reduce their rate of
interest to depositors after January
1 from 4 to 3V4 per cent per annum.
Individual banks have been forced
from time to time to drop to the low

banks been seriously contemplated.

Indianapolis, where he was indicted
on fourteen counts, charging him with
embezzling $75,000 of the funds of the

general impression was that Davis
would plead guilty and throw himself
on the mercy of the court, but his at
torney said Davis would not plead
guilty.
JllMPs INTO I5LAST TUHNACE
t'uldeDtltle<l Man Taken Till* Method of
Committing Sulfide.
PITTSBURG, Nov. 22—A few min
utes after midnight an unidentified
man threw himself headlong into one
of the furnaces at Schoenberger’s
mills, Fourteenth and Aetna streets.
Almost his entire body was roasted
beyond identification, his left foot be
ing the only part not disfigured. A
few moments before midnight the
man was seen to enter the mill yards
and stand at the foot of the hoist
ing car which carries ore, coke and
other supplies for the furnace. The
moment that a warning was sounded
for the cage to ascend with its bur
den three workmen saw the suicide
jump on the platform and stand with
in a few feet of them. They were
confused and did not know what to
think of him, as no one but employes
is allowed on these cages. When the
top of the furnace was reached, nearly
100 feet from the level, a workman
determined to order him away. The
huge crib was opened to allow the
car of coke to roll into the furnace
and the bell was lifted, throwing a
terrific heat from the fiery substance
underneath. The workman had not
time to open his mouth when the man
threw himself headlong into the fur
nace. Quick as a flash Workman Lee
saw the action and dropped the bell,
but all too late. The man was
buried head and shoulders in the
flames.
TWENTY-TWO WERE KILLED.
Kitlmit* of Lohm of I.lf* Placed on
Dimeter at Tellurlile, Col.
TELLURIDE, Colo.. Nov. 22.—The
developments today in the Smuggler
Union mine disaster have not served
to remove tho doubt as to the num
ber of victims and at a late hour to
night it seems unlikely that the ex
act number will be known for sev
eral hours. As yet the list remains
the same as last night, twenty-two
dead and one in a precarious condi
tion from inhaling the deadly gas and
smoke drawn into the mine from
the burning buildings about the mouth
of the bullion tunnel.
It Is possible that a search of the
ninth level, which is still in part in
accessible, will reveal the bodies of
several other victims, but a party
headed by Superintendent Edgar Col
lins thiB afternoon went through all
the other portions of the mine and
found no more dead bodies. The un
explorod portion of the ninth level
is about 400 feet in length. It will
not be safe to enter this part of the
drift until tomorrow morning, and
perhaps later.
N EAVOR OE THE NATIONAL LAW

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—The Nation
al Association of Referees in Bank
ruptcy has about completed Its Inves
tigation to learn the sentiment of
business men throughout the country
regarding changes desired in the na
tional bankruptcy laws. No report
can be published until the results
have been turned over to the judi
ciary committee of the house of rep
resentatives. It was at the request
of Hon. George W. Ray of this com
mittee that the investigation was un
dertaken. According to the Journal
of Commerce many local business
men say, however, that there is no
doubt that the report will indicate
a sentiment in favor of national as
against state legislation, and, if so,
amendments to the present law in ac
cordance with the bill prepared by
Mr. Ray.

Mukej Dead Game of Hunter.
MIDDLES BORO, Ky„ Nov. 23.—In
a tight with Virginia hunters, who
crossed the line into Tennessee near
here to hunt, one man was killed. The
law does not permit game to be car
ried from the state of Tennessee and
does not allow hunting on farms
where notice is posted forbidding it.
John Smith, on whose farm the in
truders were found, asked them to
leave. They refused. Smith and his
sons then did the fatal shooting.

Admiral Rogers OfTerfl Congratulation*
to Waller’s Command Cpou the Cap
ture of Rebel Stronghold—• Another
Victory for Federal Arms.
MANILA, Nov. 21.—Aguinaldo has
written General Chaffee asking the
latter’s permission to go before con
gress and express the desires of the
Philippine people. Aguinaldo further
requests to be accompanied by eight
friends, whom he designates, four of
whom are prisoners at Guam, while
the others are prominent in Manila.
Sixto Lopez, who has been in the
United States and Europe in the in
terest of the insurgents and who is
now at Hong Kong, has written to
Governor Taft, asking to be exempted
from taking the oath of allegiance
to the United States on his arrival
at Manila, alleging that this action
might injure his labors in behalf of
peace.
A fund is being raised by the fed
eral party in Manila for the purpose
of attempting to prevent the execution
of the Filipino general, Isidoro Tor
res, who surrendered to the Ameri
can authorities in the early part of
this year and who was later tried on
charges of having violated the rules
of warfare and sentenced to death.
Several congressmen will be asked to
exert their influence in favor of Gen
eral Torres.
Major L. T. W. Waller of the ma
rines has rendered to Rear Admiral
Rogers a full and detailed account of
the attack on November 7 by the men
of his command on the rebel strong
hold at Sojotolong. Three insurgent
camps were destroyed, forty bamboo
cannon were captured and much rice
and other stores destroyed.
The rebels’ stronghold was almost
impregnable. The trails leading to it
were lined with poisoned spears stick
ing from the ground and were filled
with hidden pitfalls. Major Waller’s
command attacked the enemy unex
pectedly.
To do this they had to scale a cliff
200 feet high. This they climbed,
barefooted, over bamboo ladders. At
the top they found boulders piled
ready to precipitate upon an attack
ing party.
Major Waller says he was personally
not present at the action. He praises
Captain David D. Porter and Captain
Hiram I. Pearse for their splendid
work and says too much praise can
not be given the marines themselves,
whoso behavior he characterizes as
brilliant in every respect.

Ex>Governor of Johannesburg Will Not

LONDON, Nov. 21.—When Dr.
Krause, the former governor of Johan
nesburg, who was arrested on Septem
ber 2 on the charge of high treason
and inciting to murder, was brought
up on remand at Bow street for the
thirteenth time, the treasury reporter
withdrew the application for the pris
oner's extradition to South Africa
and asked to have Dr. Krause com
mitted to the Old Bailey on charges
of high treason and incitement to mur
der. The treasury officials consider
there is ample justification to try Dr.
Krause here on the charge of inciting
Mr. Cornelius Broecksma (the former
public prosecutor of Johannesburg,
who was executed September 30) to
murder Douglas Foster, an English
lawyer attached to Lord Roberts’ staff,
who was very active against the Boers.
Witnesses were called to support the
charges.
Dr. Krause was remended for a fort
night in £4,000 bail.

i THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
I _
latest Quotations From South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle—There was u heavy run of cat
tle for this time of the week, but still
buyers took hold with considerable lift
and the better grades changed hands
freely at prices that compared favorabl>
with those of yesterday. The proportion
of corn-fed steers was rather small, and
as packers were all anxious for supplies
the market ruled active and strong on
anything at all desirable. The big end ol
the receipts consisted of cows and heif
ers. In view of the liberal run all the
week buyers attempted to pound the mar
ket a little and succeeded in taking off
5c or 10c on all but the very best grades.
Veal calves and stags sold about steady,
but bulls in some cases were a little
lower. There was a good demand for the
better grades of Stockers and feeders, and
there was no noticeable change in the
prices paid. The common kinds were
neglected. Very few' western range steers
good enough for killers arrived. The few’
that w’ere offered sold at good, strong
prices. All hut the best range cows could
safely be quoted 5010c lower and the
market none too active.
Hogs—Receipts of hogs continued very
liberal, which makes the supply for the
four days this week the heaviest In some
time past. The market, however, opened
early at an advance of 5@10c over yester
day’s generul market. Packers all had
liberal orders, and as a result trade was
very active and the market gained In
strength. The first sales w’ere mostly at
$5.77% and $5.80, but after the first round
or so the popular price became $5.80. and
then $5.80 and $5.82%. and finally $5.S2V
and $5.90. The choicest bunches so
mostly from $5.8505.90.

M’KINLEY MEMORIAL STATEMENT
money From Canton Project Will Be
Given to Washington Association.
CLEVELAND, 0., Nov. 23.—The ex
ecutive committee of the McKinley
National Monument association, after
a lengthy session, at the office of Sen
ator Hanna, issued a statement which
says in part:
“At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the McKinley National Me
morial association held today, the sec
retary, Mr. Ryerson Ritchie, sub
mitted reports from many states of
the union showing gratifying progress
and that the appeal to the people to
provide funds for a memorial at Can
ton is meeting with very general and
hearty response. A plan for future
work was outlined and the same will
be pushed vigorously to completion.
Reports received indicate that auxil
iary organizations have already been
perfected in nearly all states of the
union.
“Should more funds be subscribed
than are necessary for erecting a
memorial compatible with the dignity
and simplicity of the late president's
life and character, any surplus will be
devoted to a national memorial at
Washington.
“A letter from Secretary Gage,
treasurer of the Washington Arch as
sociation, to Senator Hanna, was laid
before the committee, but the ques
tions involved in the communication
were referred to the board of trustees
at their meeting to be held at Wash
ington, December 7, when it is hoped
that any possible differences may be
adjusted. It was the sentiment of the
members of the committee present
that provision for a suitable memorial
at Canton was the first duty to be per
formed.
“This purpose is believed to be in
accordance with the wishes of the
family and personal friends of the
president. A reply to Secretary Gage's
letter, embodying the above senti
ments, was forwarded to him.’’
Koreans Must Stand Anldr.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 23.—
There is danger thtu the United States

general legation compound. This is
partly inclosed. The fund of $40,000
appropriated by congress for the ac
quirement of a permanent legation
building will have to be increased.

Some men have reasons for (Joins
things—and some have excuses.
Deafness Cannot lie Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by ar.
inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it Is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused' by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for
