Murdered by mi Unknown Stan.
A Wllsonvlllc, Neb,, dispatch to the
Omaha Hoc says: Albert Mu jorR of De
vizes, eight miles south of hero, camo
to town this morning and told a tale of
n coolly planned and executed murder
thnt occurred at that place at about

Last evening a man unknown In the

Albert Applegate, saying he was an old
friend of his and that he had known
him on tho ran go in Colorado, lie
stayed with Nelson overnight, but did
not glvo his name. In tho morning
early ho stnrted for tho field near by,
where Applcgnto was husking corn.
Tho supposition of those who found tho
body nro that tho murderer sneaked
upon kin victim In a draw which ran
very near whero ho was husking and
commenced firing when he had reached
shooting distance. Applegate, after
the first shot, is supposed to have de
cided to clinch the man and started for
him, pulling his coat as ho ran. Four
shots were Urea, uut that one strucic
him the fatal shot just as ho reached
the murderer is known from the fact
that his fnco was burned with powder.
'1 ho shot struck him just above tho
check bone, causing Instunt death.
No one knows who the murderer was
or tho cause lor ttie cttiuc, out no is
suppi scd to be tv man with whom Ap
plegate had hud trouble while living in
Colorado. lie told Majors last summer
that ho had caused tho separation of a
man and his wife in Colorado, und tho
husbaud had sworn to follow him and
kill him If it took twenty years. Tho
man who committed tho deed is prob
ably tho ono who had vowed ven
geance, lie has never been seen since
thu murder was committed. Applegate

Lincoln dispatch: There Is a now
cause for disagreement between War
den Leldigh of tho penitentiary and
the stuto board of public lands and
buildings. The new cause of disagree
ment between these contending par
ties arises from the reportid sale by
the warden of some of tho hogs, a car
load, which wero raised on tho peni
tentiary grounds and uro tho property
of thu state. Tho members of tho
board say that this selling of stato
property by tho head of a state insti
tution without the consent of tho
board is without precedent, and in
direct violation of the rule which
governs such matters. The board Is
supposed to be responsible for all pur
chases and sales of property, and it
says it Is supposed that tho members
shall know of such transactions.

General Miles Saya Any Foreign Jfavy Can
Itlockade Our forts In Ninety Day
Absolute Importance of Defcnue of tho
Entire Pacific Coatt Argument for An
Increase of the Strength of the Army
In Proportion to the Country's Growth.
"Wo Aro SefennAlcM.
Wabhiniton, Nov. 13. In his an
nual report General Miles, com
manding tho army, states that
thu condition of our sea coast de
fenses Is such as to rcqulro de
cided nnd immedlato action for tholr
improvement. Tho unguarded condi
tion of our coast is known by every
first-class power,and our peoplo should
noi be led into false security. Ho
quotes from his report. of 1881 a strong
argument for tho defense of Pugct
sound, shows that since that time now
Canadian railroads havo been estab
lished there, yet not a single gun has
been placed In position fur defense,
while thoso at tho entrance of tho Co
lumbia river are obsolete and of little
value.
General Miles recalls what he said In
his report of 1889 upon the absolute
importance of the defenso of the en
tire Pacific coast, in view of the fact
that it was possible for any naval
power to blockade every important
port within ninety days, while it
would take many years to malco a suc
cessful resistance, and tho country
might be required to pay an indemnity
of 85,000,000,000. While tho railroads
might transport 1,000,000 brave men to
the coast, they would bo useless with
out appliances to copo with tho mod
ern engines of war, nnd with all our
intelligence, pride, Inventivo genius
nnd enterprise, wo aro as far behind In
the modern appliances of war as China
or Japan. Such wero the conditions
six years ago, says General Mllej, and
such ore the conditions to-day, with
tho exception of thu slight progress
made at San Francisco. The entlro
Gulf coast and all tho great cities of
tho Atlantic cqast northward to Phila
delphia aro entirely without modern
guns.
Therefore, he strongly recommends
tho construction of all the high power
guns and system of defenses called for
in the general plan of tho board of
ordnance and fortifications nnd other
boards, and to meet in part the ex
pense of this costly undertaking he
suggests tho application of the funds
that might bo derived from tho sale of
abandoned military reservations. To
man these guns he" asks an incrense of
tho artillery arm, with the provision
of barracks at Fort Hancock, N. Y.,
for the accommodation of the troops,
nnd the systematic detail of subaltern
officers for instruction in rotation in
this place.
General Miles argues for an increase
In tho strength of thp army, saying
that thero Is no reason why It should
become ci.ystalllzed and kept at ono
strength, us it has been for years. It
should increase with the Rrowth of
tho country nnd bo determined by the
census at a minimum of ono sol
dier for every 2,000 population and a
maximum of one in 1000.
THE CUBAN ISSUE.
Ilcllcf That tho rrosldont Will Itceom
mend Kccognitlon of JIclllj;croncy.
Washington, Nov. 13. Secretary
Olncy is said to feel more encouraged
than at any time since he began to
talk to tho President about tho justice
und desirability of somo interference
in Cuban affairs. For quito a timo'the
President has been in a hesitating
mood. He thought of sending some
body to mako . an investigation,
just as ho did regarding Hawaiian
affairs, but Mr.Glney pointed out that
such a step would bo la an indirect
way a recognition of tho revolution
ists, and that tho United States might
as well act directly and promptly.
The representatives of the revolution
ists arc elated over tho information
that tho President is inclined to do
something. They aro very confident
that his message to Congress will bo
much more radical than his recent
apparent Indiffercnco would Indicate,
Recognition of tho insurgents' gov
ernment will bo recommended, they
think.

Ho enters tho field aggressively, ask
ing tho support of Western mon,
while his friend nnd fellow statesman,
James S. CInrkson, is working for his
interests In tho East Mr. Allison
comes to Chicago In company with
General Henderson of Dubuque, u
lender in tho Houso of Representa
tives nnd ono of tho foremost Repub
licans in tho country. General Hen
derson's nppcaranco in Chicago with
Allison Is significant It may bo
taken to mean that tho distinguished
lowans aro hero to rccelvo callers."

deavoring to perfect a combination In

ern states now supposedly committed

BAPTISTS IN CONGRESS.
The National Convention Opened Impor
tant Matters to lie Considered.
PltoyiDKNCK, R. I., Nov. 13. Tho
national convention of Daptists opened
hero to-day with a great attendance.
Among tho delegates is John D, Roclce
fcllcr, who is very prominent in the
church on account of his liberal en
dowment of Its educational and elee
mosynary Institutions. The clerical
representation is also imposing. Every
prominent Daptlst interest in tho
United States is represented.
Homo missions havo assumed great
Importance. Dr. Thomas J, Morgan,
who is secretary of tho society in
charge of this work, has prepared a
report of unusual Interest upon which
the congress will take action. In tho
West and Northwest tho Daptist
church is making giant strides, but
tho lack of funds and men is a
source of embarrassment. Dr. Mor
gan Is tho leader of this mis
sion work, and what ho has to
say on the subject will receive great
attention. The missionaries through
out the country havo, in not a tow
cases, attained unusual eminence for
denominational workers. Among
these nro the Rev. N. D. Rairdeu, who
labors in Missouri; tho Rev. C. E. Con
ley, stationed in Michigan; the Rev.
E. D. Meredith of Kansas, and tho Rev.
A. W. Clark of Nebraska.
It is very likely that the congress
will take soma uetion with reference
to tho University of Chicago. A very
general impression exists in tho publio
mind that tho university is in somo
manner or other an official exponent
of Daptist ideas. This iuilucnco has
been very disagreeable to Daptists
everywhere.
Tho question of tho missions in
China will receive special attention,
wiiii a view to joining with other de
nominations for tho protection of mis
sionaries. Chicago l'lipers Cut Frjcej

Washington, Nov. 13, Lord Salis
bury's failure to mention tho Venezue
lan question, in his Guild hall speech,
is regarded ns a most significant omis
clon. Tho speech summed up tho
premier's position on all the foreign
questions regarded as of pressing im
portance, so that this avoidance of all
mention of Venezuela is construed to
mean that he attaches less importance
to it, und to tho controversy over tho
Monroo doctrine than had bceu sup
posed. A St. Louts Minister Disgraced.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 13, The Rev.
Dr. William T. Leo of Denton, a
