LONDON , Oct. 14. A dispatch trom
Shanghai , dated today , confirms the report
tlegraphed to the Associated press that re
bellion has broken out 100 miles from Han
kow. The rebels nro fairly armed and very
relentless. They attacked the government
buildings , which were feebly defended by
loyal troops. The latter irero soon de
feated and many of them were killed , many
others Joining the rebels. Two man
darins were killed. The province Is also
denuded ot troops and the rebels are dally
Eitherlng .strength. It la expected that
they will advance on Woo-Chang , province
of Hoopo , of which Hankow Is the capital.
The garrison , at Woo-Chang has gone to the
coast , and the place la therefore practically
defenseless.

LOURENZO MAHQUEZ , Oct. II. The re
bellious Kaffirs , In great force , attacked this
town today , but were repulsed. A renewal of
the attack Is expected at any moment. The
situation Is serious , as the force defending
the place Is not sufficient to make a pro
longed resistance.
CAPE TOWN. Oct. . ThD government
of the South African republic has offered to
uslst the Portuguese at Lourenzo JIarquez
against the Kaffirs. The proposed co-opera
tion is regarded with suspicion here a& an
Infringement of British suzerainty ,
LONDON , Oct. 14. A dispatch , .to the
Times from Lourenzo Marquez says that the
Portuguese have politely declined the offer
of assistance ) made to them by Cecil Rhodes ,
prime minister of Cape Colony , to quell the
rebellion.
The dispatch says that the cable station at
Lourenzo Marquez has been adandoned and
the cable connected with the British war
ship Thrush , from which all dispatches are
sent. The correspondent of the Times , con
tinuing , says : The governor yesterday told
me that he did not believe the rebels would
attack the town , but they attacked It this
morning and were repulsed by a heavy
cannonade. Twelve Portuguese were killed.
The country la In open revolt , and the author
ities talk of asking assistance from the

BERLIN , Oct. 14. According to the Lokal

that the diagnosis of the czar's complaint

neither speedy nor sudden , but that death
will come after the gradual decline.
LONDON. Oct. 14. The St. Petersburg

Clerical Vnrtjr Under the Now Synloni
fthowa ( Ireit Voting Strength.
BRUSSELS. Oct. 14. Elections for mem
bers of the Chamber of Deputies were held
throughout Belgium today. The voting was
under HID new compulsory system , which
provides severe penalties for nonvoters. The
electors were divided Into three classes , as
folfo s : One-year residents , over 25 years of
age. who \\ero entitled to one vote ; married
men and widowers , with families , who pay
personal taxes of G franca to the state , who *
had three votes , and priests nnd others or
position and education , -who had three votes.
The clerical parly , under this system , had
great voting strength.
The socialists made a ttrong fight ns the
Independent party. Tha liberals are divided
and are likely to show badly In the places
where the clericals and socialists are In
force. The clericals were orderly , except at
Alost , In East Flanders , where collisions
occurred between the supporters of Abbe
Daens , Christian socialist , and M. Woeste ,
the clerical leader who , n few days ago ,
was stoned by a mob and forced to flee for
his life.
The counting of votes Is a slow process.
Returns from Iho Brussels district show
the liberals and clericals ran closely nnd
rcballots will probably be necessary. In
Charlerol and Llegn , mining and manufac
turing centers , the radicals and socialists are
also ahead , having defeated many liberal
candidates , Including Frere Jolinn. the mod
erate liberal leader. M. De flruyan , minis
ter of public wirks nnd agriculture , has been
he-elected In Fermonfe.
12:30 p. m. , 15th. The Catholic candidates
have been re-elected In all the Flemish
towns with large majorities. As far ns as
certained at this hour , It appears the first
trial of the new system has resulted In a
severe check for the moderate liberals to
the benefit ot the clericals and socialists.
The clericals will remain the government
parly , having opposed to them a "divided
minority of liberals and socialists.

LONDON , Got. 15. A dispatch to the

fusal to Interfere In the Chinese-Japanese
troubles docs not affect the question of the
protection to Europeans In China , In which
she ulll fully co-operate. The German
commander In Chinese waters has already
been authorized to despatch a small body
of marines to protect the legation at Peking.
If there should bo any trouble , It Is believed
that the moral effect of even such a small
body of European troops would effectually
check a Chinese mob.

Ida hearers. Fully one-half of Ihe audlenco :

who were well pleased with the telling re
marks of the speaker. He handled the "ca
lamity crusaders" without gloves and ex
ploded Iho theory that his election would InJure -
Juro the credit ol the state. Ho compared
the objects ot the rebate clippers to a scare
crow erected lo keep birds out of a truck
patch. The "calamity crusaders" had erected
a pole In front of the state house- and stuffed
an image with straw and labeled it "business
Interests. " The present occupants .of the
elate house had been farming that truck so
long that they did not want the pesky popu
lists to Interfere with their private snap. He
proposed. It elected , to conduct the business
of Iho state honestly In the Interest of the
people , nnd from Hie way the crowd cheered
they were In full sympathy with his candi
dacy , Mr , Beck then Introduced Mr. Deaver ,
who made some telling points In favor of
honest administration of public affairs. His

Wounded
NEW ORLEANS , Oct. 14. Engineer Simp
son ot the East Louisiana road Is responsible
for a frightful accident that occurred this
morning at the crossing of the Louisville
& Nashville and the Northeastern roads ,
nbout two mllca from where the Louisville
& Nashville road leaves Elyslan Fields street.
The accident will In all probability result In
at least ono fatality , while n score ot pas
sengers on the Louisville & Nashville re
ceived severe Injuries. The Louisville &
Nashville "across the lake" excursion train ,
consisting of eight coaches well loaded wllh
pleasure seekers , n large proportion of them
being women and children , pulled out on
time. As the train approached the crossing
df the Northeastern tracks Engineer Hanley
brought his train to a stop and whistled , ns
the law requires. Ho then gave the signal
to go ahead nnd proceeded across the tracks
of the Northeastern. The East Loulslann
train , carrying excursionists to points in
South Tammany parish , was booming along
Its tracks when It crashed Into the sixth
coach of the Louisville & Nnshlvlle train.
The collision threw a crowded coach com
pletely into Iho ditch , while the attacking
engine was derailed and burled its nose
several feet In the mud.
CHEATED A PANJC.
Passengcrti on the Hast Louisiana train
were uninjured , except for the shock of the
collision. Not so with the coast excursion ,
however. Just before the engine struck
the coach several of the passengers saw It
coming and a panto ensued. There was a
wild rush to escape from the. threatened
coach , but before one of the passengers could
reach either platform the approaching en
gine had struck nnd the coach , with Its
living freight , was hurled from the tracks
Into the ditch. Women and children
shrieked in their terror , while men fought
their way blindly for some escape from the
coach. Seats were torn up and hurled In
every direction by the force of the collision ,
nnd after the- first wlltl panic had subsided
there were heard piteous moans from differ
ent quarters ot the wreck. Within a short
tlmo the wounded had been taken from the
coach and made ns comfortable ns circum
stances would permit. The greatest Indigna
tion nnd anger prevailed among the wit
nesses of the collision against Engineer
Simpson , who had ruthlessly disregarded the
law requiring him to stop and had caused
the frightful accident.
SIMPSON MAKES HIS ESCAPE.
Inquiry developed the fact that Simpson
had escaped to the swamp. A section fore
man on his handcar brought the news of
the collision to the city , and the Northeast
ern officials dispatched a special train to con
vey the Injured to the city. List of the
Injured :
Robert Carey , sugar broker , left leg broken
and head cut.
R. H. Holmes , left leg and arm broken.
A. C. Wh How , left knee and hip hurt.

berry to Mr. Itayard's position as ambas

with a deprecatory shrike of his head : "All I

nalil , entered Into a political deal wllh any
one whereby my own personul interests
would be advanced. "
RpgnrdlnB his desire to be a candidate for

CHICAGO. Oct. 14. The lines running east
from Chicago nre at their wits end to de
vise some way by which they can maintain
freight rales , or rather to hit upon a plan
by which their competitors can be made
to stick to > the tariff sheets. They are all
cutting rates , nnd cutting them deeply. All
classes ot freight are Included In thede
moralization , und there seems to be no"
prospect that the lines will get together.
The roads of the Western Passenger asso
ciation are preparing for another small row
with the Missouri , Kansas & Texas over
what they term the letter's Juggling- the
rates from the north and northwest to
various points in Texas. They have claimed
for some time that thn Missouri , Kansas &
Texas has been placing Its tickets in the
hands of brokers In SI , Louis , or , at least ,
placing the tickets where the brokers will
have no trouble In getting their hands on
them. The association roads have ex
postulated with the Texns line without ax-all ,
and they are disposed to take active steps
to meet these rates. The outcome of this
feeling may result In the establishment of
the rates to the Pacllle : coast which the
Illinois Central has been for some time
anxious lo put In via New Orleans.

calls upon Senator SqUro ? ot Washington

King of this city , Mill O. Remington's an-
taconlst in a famous suit of years ago , and
John S. Goodwin of Illon , , N. Y. A quarter

close friends. Years Ago they Invested
heavily In western real estate , ono of the
deals being the purchase of a large amount
of property where hovr stands Salem , When
tlio financial crash came this properly was
Clven to Remington to hold In trust. Sub
sequently Remington , who died a few years

Squire , who Is the defendant named.
Squln % according to the complainants ,

trust , and the property then worth a few
hundreds of dollars is- now worth millions ,

MANY CHANGES NECESSARY
Commodore Matthews' Annual Report on
the Affairs of the Navj.
NUMEROUS RECOMMENDATIONS MADE
Katlmnto for the Next Fiscal Vcnr TlaccU
at Nearly Two Million * nnd Jinny
Improvements Are Said to
llo MoceMnry.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 14. The annual re
port of Commodore" 13. 0. Matthews to the
secretary of the navy upon naval yards
and docks , estimates the funds required for
the next fiscal year at $1,861,295 , which Is a
largo reduction ot the estimates submitted
by the commandants of the yards. The
heaviest cut In these estimates Is in the
item of Improvements , which la reduced
from $6,221,712 to $1,044,803. The item "
general maintenance is cut $157,000 , and that
for repairs $300,000. ,
The leading feature of the report Is , the
suggestion by the chief of the urgent need
for at least four new dry docks , to bo located
at League Island , Pa. , Boston , Norfolk nnd
Mare Island , Cal. The principal improve
ments recommended nt the different yards
are as follows : At Boston Rebuilding
wharf No. 4. A modern derrick Is recom
mended : , but no estimate Is given. New
York New pumping plant for the granite
dock , a new workshop for construction and
repair , an Iron shipwright's head and dredg
ing wall about channel and quay walls for
Whitney basin and the cob dock , League
Island Some dredging , extension ot the quay
walls and an artesian well. A new dry dock
was also suggested , but not estimated for.
Washington Extension of the sea wall , rail
road tracks and electric plant , new root for
the foundry and conversion of the old
museum Into officers' quarters and a new
roundhouse. Norfolk Repairs to the stone
dock , ( i store shed and repair shop , n lighter
and derrick , extension of walls and replace
ment of decayed wooden docks. A new
new dry dock hero Is also suggested. Mare
Island A strong quay wall , grading and pav
ing , widening entrance of stone dock , new
caisson , steam capstans , new railroad scales ,
Improvement of coppersmith's shop. A new
dock Is also strongly urged here , as there
will be no dock nearer than Port Orchard
( where there are facilities for repairs ) large
enough to take the new battleships of our
pavy. Port Royal , S. C. Roadways , grading ,
drainage , hydrants , cisterns , fences and a
workshop. More land Is also needed. Key
West , Fla. More land is needed and an Iron
coal wharf. Algiers , La. Commencing
work In preparation for a new dock. Puget
Sound , Wash. Dredging , quarters for men
and officers ; eventually shops and wharves
will be needed , but no estimate is given.
In = describing the work done during the
past year , Commodore Matthews says that
it has only been by the closest and In
most eases unwise economy that the ap
propriation for the maintenance of these
things have been made to hold out. The
wharf at Port Royal Is reported lo be
nearly complete. Strains have caused the
lower cross attars to curve In , but the eon-
tractor Is about to remedy this. The
Pugct Sound dock Is progressing rapidly and
will probably be completed much ahead of
time.

LEXINGTON , Ky. , Oct. II. Another
lynching i ) has been added td the unusually
large fall scries of Blue Grass lynching boos.
Yesterday , nt the close of the Ilenttf villa
fair , Oscar Morton , a prominent citizen ot
Morton , In Powell county , wont on the war
path. Two weeks Jgo Morton killed a man
at Stanton and was out on a | 6,000 bond.
Ue arrived nt the fair yesterday and Im
mediately proceeded to get drunk. When
thoroughly Intoxicated he started to hunt for
Sheriff Slnims , who Is his deadly enemy , a
feud of long standing having existed between-
ft
the t two. Slmms and Morton met near the
entrance to the fair grounds , and , ntler a
few words , both of them drew guns. A quick
exchange of shots followed , Morton using two
guns. Ills first shot broke the sheriffs right
arm at the elbow. John Hogg , n friend of
Slmms , whipped out his gun , and joined In
the battle. When the smoke had cleared
awny It wns found that Sheriff Slmms was
dead , having a shot through his breast , one
In his abdomen and another through his arm
Morton was shot through the neck , while
Hogg was unhurt.
Morton was hurried to the county Jail and
placed under guard. The people became In
furiated and a big meeting was , at once held
on the public square. Colonel John Drum-
mend mounted a barrel and made n speech
Ho said the murderer must bo hanged , but
that the woik must bo done quietly and with
perfect order. Morton had killed two men In
less than two weeks time and he must die
by the rope.
A mob was quickly formed and marched
to the Jail , The Jailer was overpowered and
the keys to Morton's cell obtained. He wns
found crouching on the floor , nnd , nfter a
bitter struggle , wns seized and dragged out.
Seeing his game was up , Morton made
the best of the Ihlng and told tlie mob he
did not care what they did with him , pro
vided they did their work quickly.
After a short parley , ho was taken to a
little bridge some distance from town and
the rope was placed around his neck. The
leaders drew their guns and told him to
jump or else ho would be. riddled with bul
lets. Turning around , the doomed man
cursed his captors , nnd , uttering wild Im
precations , leaped Into space. The Jump
broke his neck. After dangling In the air
for some minutes his body became stiff and
a volley of bullets was fired Into It. The
mob then dispersed , leaving the body dan
gling from the bridge.
At noon today It was still there. None ot
the mob made any attempt to conceal their
Identity , and the hanging was conducted
with ns much formality as If It had been a
legal affair. The murderer was a wealthy
man and lived at Stanton.

CHICAGO , Oct. 14. Four men have been

Ing of July 1C last. The men are : Stanley
J. Knowles. n brakeman formerly In the
employ of the Grand Trunk ; John C. Bode
wig , a fireman employed by the Grand
Trunk ; George W. Johnson and Ernest
Jewell , both of whom were employed by Ihe
road , the former as a switchman and the
latter as a yard conductor. All four worked
at Battle Creek.
Two men have confessed , and Ihelr state
ments make it plain that there was a con
spiracy to wreck not only the Atlantic ex
press , but other trains as well. The confes
sions tend to chow also that the conspiracy
was the result of incendiary speeches made
during the great strike of last July.

These two Intctests arc not for honest .

hlsts , they who , In combining against the
plo to corrupt legislatures and elect dls-
nnest men to office , prey upon the people ,
ml , In the results they accomplish , visit
pen state and nation all the evils ot nnnrch-
sm. It is not nn uncommon thing for I lies a
ankers to keep In their offices petitions or

o sign ; they have them In their banks now }
n other words , they Insist that the unfor *
Una to customers that they have In their

atcrall The banks and railroads must bo
aught that they are servants , and not mas-
cra ; that each must .stick to Its legitimate
iuslness and not seek to usurp the function !
f the people. Last year this country wa
ilunged into financial distress by the bank *

o make money scarce , and so to Increase the
lower of their store to the hurt at the poor

LOOK HERE. UPON THIS PICTUIIB. .
(
What about tlio railroads ? Go to tha sit
ings of our legislature , and what do you flndt
'on find their lobby organized to corrupt.
Who stood behind Rfosher and his guilty-
crowd ? Who stood behind the corruption In
ho penitentiary ring ? Who defends all the
public plunderers nnd thieves ? The railroad :
ring. They are co-partners In corrupting the >
public service. And banks trot in their
class. They did not dare to-have Mosher
open his mouth t He knew too much ! Moshor ,

years , got oft with five ! Ho wns "confined"

that regard as were never before heard ot In
connection with a convict Incarcerated In

railroads have countenanced ami encouraged
n conspiring against the common weal In
Nebraska Is a foul list. The true and lofty
citizenship of this cgmmomvealth not
tolerate the rot nness In our pub.lc service
that these bunks'and railroads aland tor any ;

The people are slow to anger and to movo.
When public affairs fjct eo rotten that they

Nebraska , under railroad and bankers' rule.
Is BO rotten that It stinks. It la tlmo to

to deceive us that It would hurt the credit
of the state lo elect a pupullst. The- credit
of the state ! The credit of a million people !
Who made these corporations tlie guardians
of the public credit ] Of our good name !
When rottenness nnd corruption stand tor-
purity nnd soundness , then will they stand
tor honest government. They tell us .that it
wo elect an honest man governor It will ruin
the credit and lair name of the ntute , and
that If ve elect a dishonest man governor It
