perfect their 'claims. To all of those
who have-filed notices the new forms of

Mr. Stawart, wife and child ware
bvrmsd in their house. The Misses.
Yellow and Marshall two sisters named
Saunders, two sisters named Gordon
and Stestie Newcomb were murdered
with spears and swords. Miss Cording
ton was' seriously wounded about the
head and Stewart's eldest child had a
knee cap badly injured while the
youngest had" an eye gouged out. The
Rev. Mr. Phillips, with two Americans,
Dr. Gregory and Miss Hartford, were
both wounded, but arrived safely at
Fuchaufu. The perfect of Chengfu,
who was on the inquiry commission, is
seriously implicated in the outrages.
Kr. Stewart' Letter.
The Times says of the above: "The
Rev. Mr. Stewart resides at Ku Cheng
and superintends the work of the per
fectures of Ku Cheng and Pingnang.
Rev. Mr. Stewart, writing under date of
February, 1895, described how a sect
known as Veeetarians.' ' taking ad-
Tantage of the war, sprang into vigor
ous life and committed numerous out
nses. and became so formidable that
the converts wanted him to organize
and arm. He concluded his letter as
follows: Ihave just learned that 10,
000 of these have enlisted in the last six
months. They are mostly of the lowest
orders and at the present time the reins
of the government are practically in
their hands.' "
The Times comments editorially on
the massacre as follows: "The Ku Cheng
outrages will justly form the subject of
.strong representations to China by Eng
land, and probably by America also. It
is quite possible that the outrages are
due to the embittered feeling against
foreigners engendered by the calamities
of the war, and that the mandarins be
lieve that a blow must be struck now or
never to frighten foreigners against
availing themselves of the concessions
granted under the recent Chinese-Japanese
treaty."
The Standard, in its editorial on the
Ku Cheng outrages, says: "We must
speak to China in a manner which can
not be misunderstood. Not only must
the murderers be punished, but a thor
ough example must be made of the
officials whose neglect permits such out
rages." Another Fuchau telegiam received
here says that all the murdered women
belong to the Church of England.

Peace Now Relgwa.
Washjxqton, Aug. S. The latest
news from General Coppiuger received
at the war department via headquarters
at Omaha is reassuring. A dispatch
from Omaha says: "A dispatch was re
ceived from Market Lake this morning
which indicates that the Indians were
returning from Jackson's Hole by a
straight line to the reservation. To test
its correctness the Union Pacific rail
way office was asked to telegraph for in
formation to stations along the Oregon
Short Line from Soda Springs west
ward. The following reply is from the
division superintendent at Pocatello:
'Stage driver just reached Soda Springs
says just left Carrabo this morning. He
came through Grave Lake and Black
foot river country. Reports 200 Ban
nocks at Grave Lake on the way from
Jackson's Hole to reservation. They
said that there had been no fighting,
and no desire to fight on their part.'
This scare seems to be over, and settlers
understand they are trying to make
their way back to the reservation to
avoid troops. Information thoroughly
reliable."
Xaylera Foaad Guilty.
Carrolton, Mo., Aug. 3. "We, the
jury; find the defendants, William P.
and George Taylor, guilty of-murder in
the first degree." Such was the ver
dict rendered at 2:30 o'clock Friday af
ternoon in the notorious murder trial.
It took but- one ballot to decide that the
Taylor brothers were guilty of the hein
ous crime charged against them and
that the penalty for the butchery of
Meeks, his wife and two children on
Jenkin's Hill on the night of May 10
last should be set at the limit. The
jury went out sharply at noon and
when it returned with its verdict there
was no doubt as to the spectators' ap
proval of it. In an instant 1,000 people
who crowded into the courtroom broke
forth in a volley of cheers that were
only silenced by threats of arrest made
by Judge Backer. Sentence will be de
ferred for the present.
Cexey Xoatlaated For Governor.
Columbus, O., Aug. 8. After two
turbulent sessions the Ohio Populists
succeeded in adopting a platform and
naming a state ticket, but some of the
more influential members of the party
are not pleased with the ticket. Gen
eral Jacob S. Coxey was triumphant in
every thing and it was the nomination
of Coxey for governor and the predomi
nance of Coxeyism and his novel ideas
that does not please some of the con
servative Populists. Aside from the in
dorsement of the Omaha platform, the
platform indorses Coxey's uoninterest
bearing scheme and. good roads bills and
denounces the trial of Debs.
FOUR DROWNED IN THE FLOOD.
Caspar TaToaatala Swept ay a TarriMe
Cloadbarat.
Casper, Wy., Aug. 2. A terrible
cloudburst occurred' on. the northern
strip of Casper mountain about six miles
south of Casper. The first thing the ter
rible flood reached was the pleasure re
sort at the head of Garden' creek. At
this point all the buildings were crushed
'and swept away, and the original site
of the hotel at this point is buried be
neath debris 20 feet deep.
From here the water followed the
course of the creek and demolished
everything inits path. Judging from
water marks a volume of-water 40 feet
high and 90 .rods wide must have passed
a narrow defile about two miles from
the mountain proper.
Without warning this great flood of
water in its rush down the side of the
Mountain found many campers up and
down the creek, either sleeping or just
about ready to retire for the night.
S. Newby and bis family had retired
for the night, when all at once they
were surrounded with water, and a race
for Jife commenced. Newby says that
he heard his wife scream Tor help; he
grabbed for her, but missed, and in the
next second he was being carried on by
great rush of water. That was tike
last he saw of Ua wif e aa4 baby :- Kew-
by grabbed the limbs of a loatiag tree
and was. thrown on a bank.
MravTewby was found beneath a pile

Cleveland. Aug. S. Robert J, the
king of the light harness horses, net
more than his .match at the Cleveland
driving park trade aad -10,000 people
witnessed his humiliation. The weath
er was nearly perfect, being only a trifle
too cool, and the attendance up to ex
pectations. There were two regular
events on the card besides the unfin
ished 2:20 pacing race, but the interest
of course centered in the free-for-all, in
which the five famous pacers, Robert J,
Joe Patchen, Saladin, Directly and
Mascot were entered.
When the horses scored for the first
heat Directly held the pole, bat soon
after the start Robert J. forged to the
front, setting the pace for his compet
itors -and leading to the wire. Joe
Patchen was the only one that did' not
cover the mile without a break. In the
stretch when he was rapidly overhaul
ing Robert J. he struck a piece of wet
track, went into the air and finished a
close second. Robert J. was driven hard
and it was evident he had done his best
when he made the wire in S-OS. In
the second heat Patchen went to the
front and won, as he did in the remain
ing two heats, with ease, although
Geers did his utmost to urge Robert J.
to .the front,, using the whip without
stint. The bay -gelding was fairly
beaten, however, in as pretty a race as
was ever seen, the tiniaof the four heats
being the fastest ever paced oonsecu
tively in a race, the average being a
trifle more thau 2:4'..
RACE WAR IN ALABAMA.
Two Pepaty Sberiflb aa Three Negroes

Birmingham, Aug. l. The sheriff's
posse ' returned - from Brookside, the
scene of last night's race riot, this morn'
ing, bringing with them 10 negro list
ers, who had been arrested, two having
been rescued from the -enraged white
miners, after ropes had been placed
around their necks preparatory to hang
ing them. Half a dozen officers were
left at Brookside to arrest other rioters
and prevent further trouble. Investiga
tion shows that the negroes, whom Dep
uties Woods and Baxter went to arrest,
were entrenched in a ditch, strongly ire-'
inforced, and poured a murderous fire
from their cover, shooting down two of
ficers at the first volley. Reinforce
ments came to the whites, but the ne
groes never ceased firing until their
ammunition was exhausted. Then they
fled to the woods, the whites in pursuit.
Three negroes are reported found dead
and one wounded. One woman is
among the rioters arrested. Half a
dozen women took part in the riot. All
is quiet now.
Paehlag the Waller Caee.
Washington, Aug. 4. Failing to re
ceive an assurance of progress from
Ambassador Eustis in the Waller case,
Acting Secretary of State Adee has
again cabled him to press the request
for the record of Waller's trial at Mada
gascar. It is understood the depart
ment has adopted the view that this
government is entitled to the full
record of the proceedings and that Mr.
Eustis has been instructed to say to the
French authorities that nothing less
than the transcript of complete papers
in the case will be sufficient to satisfy
the United States whether justice has
been done. It is also stated that the in
structions to Mr. Eustis go farther, in
that they direct him to -say that a final
refusal to furnish a complete, transcript
will be accepted by this government as
a denial of justice

RESTRAINS THE NEW BOARD.
Coaunaada of the District Coart Disobeyed
by the Omaha Ceaacll.
Omaha, Aug. 4. A. C. Foster, W. J.
Broatch and Paul Vundervoort, the
Churchill-Russell appointees, who were
confirmed as members of the fire and
police commission by the city council,
despite Judge Hopewell's injunction,
will not attempt to exercise their duties
of police commissioners until their titles
to their offices shall have been- tested in
the court..
Judge Hopewell of the district court
came down from his home at Tekamah
Friday evening. Soon after his arrival
attorneys for 'Mayor Bemis, C. H.
Brown and D. Clem Deaver, members
of the fire and police commission, ap
peared before him in chambers and
presented a petition for an injunction
restraining Foster, Broatch and Van
dervoort from exercising the duties,
powers and rights of members of the
board of fire and police commissioners,
citing them to appear in court at 2
o'clock this afternoon and show cause
why the temporary injunction should
not be permanent.
Judge Hopewell acceded to the
petition and signed the restraining order
asked for. The petition of the plaintiffs
recites the fact that at a meeting of the
city council, held Friday afternoon, a
majority of the members of that body
approved the bonds of Foster. Broatch
and Vandervoort, by which they qual
ified as pretended members of the fire
and police commission in and for the
city of Omaha. -
In their petition the plaintiffs allege
that the appointment of Foster, Broatch
and Vandervoort is illegal, null and
void, having been nude in direct viola
tion cf law, and contrary to the consti
tution of the state, in this, that Church
ill as attorney general and Russell as
conunttsioner of public lands and
buildings, assumed the power and pre
rogatives of the executive of the state.
After the injunction had been granted
by Judge Hopewell aad the petition
filed in the office of the district court,
copies of the proceedings were served
upon each and all of the defendants by
Deputy Sheriff Roseaxweig.
'Judge Hopewell decided - that he
would hear the case on next Taesday
and at that time, probably 2 o'clock, the
.question of whether amendments
will be allowed to be made will be de
cided. The 10 counoUmen who approved the
bonds sanef answer far contempt of

VICTORY FOR PITTSBURG MINERS '
Oraat Nearly TCvery
San m Caatraet Iaerca.iae:
Pittsburg, Aug. i5. The - biggest
victory ever won by organized labor
was won Friday in Pittsburg by the
ariners. Almost every demand was
granted and the operators gave a
written guarantee for the fulfillment of
the contract. The papers were signed
which increased the wages of 10,000
miners in Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois. ' The terms of the agree
ment are that the present rate of wages
shall continue in force- until Oct. l,
when every operator in the Pittsburg
district will pay the present rate with a
differential of 5 cents in favor of opera
tors who do not have company stores.
The agreement farther provides for an
other advance on Jan. 1. If is under
stood that the .rate will be made 79
cents. Above' all, W. P. Dearmott,
who has whipped the miners at every
turn heretofore, has been brought over
and will pay the C4-cent rate, as he
does not wish the company stores to
run.

San Francisco, Aug. 0. Consul Gen
eral Wilder discredits the' story about
an alleged attempt to organize a filibus
tering expedition in this city to over
throw the Hawaiian government and
restore Queen LiHuokalani to the throne
He says: "The story is ridiculous, and'
so far as I .am able to ascertain,, is ab
solutely without foundation. I never
heard of W. P. Morrow before, nor of.
his alleged scheme to organize a filibus
tering expedition to overthrow the Dole
government. Furthermore, I take no
stock in it. As a matter of fact, I am
inclined to think that Morrow is simply
a confidence man, who has hit upon this
expedient as a clever way of making a
few dollars. He was to collect $16 from
each of 200 or more adventurers, and
that would have bean the last ever
heard of his socalled daring plan tore
establish the monarchy on' the islands."

Prrtlk Springs: Mo., Aug. 6. The
state Democratic silver convention was
called to order at noon. Some 400 dele
gates are here. The attendance is much
larger than was predicted by the "sound
money" men or anticipated by the' sil
ver advocates. That the 'convention
will declare for tbe free and unlimited,
coinage of silver admits of no debate.
The only question of importance is:
"Will' the convention depose the state
central committee?" Congressman
Bland has been working hardo accom
plish such a purpose and Senator Cock

Armondand a dozen other prominent
Democrats have been working to defeat
such an extreme measure. From indi

allowing the convention to name new
members of the committee, that is, one
for each district and three at large.

TO TEST THE IRRIGATION LAW.

Farpese of SstUIms; tHeaates.
Ooalalla, -Neb.,' Aug. 6. The mem
bers of the Alfalfa Irrigation district,
located in the northwestern part of
Keith county, have filed a petition in
the district court, under section 59 of
the district irrigation law, praying the
court to examine and determine whether
the organization and voting of bonds
by said district are legal and valid. An
answer will be filed by the taxpayers,
objecting' to the law as unconstitutional
and raising all doubtful points in the
law. This is the first district organised
under the new law and the first case to
be submitted to the courts. Judge Ne
ville has called a-special term of the dis
trict court at. this place to hear and de
termine the case, and it will then go to
the supreme court for a hearing at the
first meeting in September.
This case in started for the purpose of
having a thorough teat made as to the
constitutionality of the law; Several
irrigation districts have been organised
in western Nebraska, and are now wait
ing for the law to be determined in or
der that they can sell. their -securities
and commence the construction of their
ditches. .Intending purchasers of these'
securities are also interested; as the case
will -settle the validity of irrigation
bonds. '

The postoflice at Central City was
robbed- Thursday morning by two
masked burglars. The night watch,
Eckert, was held up, four revolvers being
thrust in his face. While one stood
guard over Eckert, tho other in the
dark in a scientific manner drilled the
safe, injected powder, blew the door
open and took $91 and a registered
package. Eckert was then compelled to
accompany tho burglars and was locked
up in a U. P. box car. Sheriff Porter at
noon Friday found the supposed rob
bers three miles east of town, and later
in the day the stolen money, a kit ot
burglar tools and revolvers buried in

St. Edward Sun: M. J.- Thompson
states that the Beaver river is now lower
than it has ever been. He attributes
this fact to the extreme dryness of last
year, which he calculates from the ob
servations be has made in' the study of
the irrigation question, lie reasons
that the river is fed by springs, and that
it takes about a year for the underflow,
which causes the springs to be affected
by the deficit of rainfall, and .conse
quently 'will be as low or lower than it
now is, nntil the more recent rains have
had a chance to filter through the soil
and replenishes the underflow, unlets
sooner fed by furface water. These are
circumstances which it. will pay our
people to watch, for they may yet find it
convenient to irrigate. "
