SOFIA , July 18. M. Stambuloff , who was
murderously assaulted by four men while re
turning home from the Union club on Mon
day night , died at 9:35 : this morning with
out having uttered a word since 10 o'clock
last night , when the death struggle began
All hope of the ex-premier's recovery was
abandoned last evening , when It was noticed
that meningitis had supervened and after
the sufferer did not recognize any one. A
catafalque Is being prepared upon wh'ch ' the
remains will lie In stale. The amputated
hands of the murdered man have been pre
served In alcorol. The Interment will take
place on Saturday. The government has not
yet proponed to give the remains of Stam
buloff a state 'uncral. The widow of the
deceased statesman received many telegraphic
messages of condolence from high parsonages
In different parts of Europe.
Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales
have telegraphed their sympathies to Mine.
Stambuloff. The government has offered 10-
000 francs for the capture of the murderers
LONDON , July 18 The Times will say
tomorrow : Stambuloff was one of the brll-
llmt statesmen produced In the Dulkins In
the lust century. With little of the veneer
of civilization , with little dlstlnct'on or re
finement , he concealed beneath a rough ex
terior a natural tenderness and delicacy o :
feeling which only those who knew him In
timately could appreciate There was no
hiimbus or affectation about him. He was a
man , a great man. Whatever his defecti
may have been , there was never a doubt o
hip patriotism and devotion to his country.
The flerlln correspondent of the Times
nays : "Reports were circulated today tha
Prince Ferdinand hid abdicated the rulershlp
of Ilulgarla , and that the Austrian govern
ment had sent a circular to the powers on
the subject of Bulgaria. The reports
though they affected the money markets
were given no credence elsewhere. I am
Informed on good authority that the murder
of Stambuloff will probably not lead to the
Intervention of the powers. It Is bellevei
that Russian Influence will begin to make
increasing way In Ilulgarla. "
The Vosslsche Zeltung says that curses am
everlasting shame will cling to the Bui
garlan government , which c ° rtalnly had a
share In Uio assassination , and which knew
of the murderous plots , jet did nothing to
hinder the notorious murderers from moving
freely about Sofia. "If any ordinary cltl
zen , " the newspaper goes on to say , "hac
been Incriminated as I'rlnco Ferdinand ha
been ho would have been arrested I'rlnc
Ferdinand has forfeited the right to wea
a European crown. He must fall"
The National Zeltung says : "The name o
Bulgaria will henceforth be expressive only
of the most contemptible gratitude and th
most pitiful depravity. This monstrosity
called a state cannot live. "
The Standard's Uerlln correspondent com
mcnts as follows on the above : "These two
extracts give an Idea of the tone of prcs
comments. In diplomatic and official circles
however , calmer counsel prevails. "
A Sofia dispatch to the Standard says
"Public opinion points to Haloff , Nikola
Tufektcheff and Ivanoff as the authors o
the crime. I am Informed that the govern
inent has decided to rearrest Tufektchefl
who was liberated on Tuesday. "
CARLSBAD. July 18. When Informed o
the death of M. Stambuloff Prince Ferdltnn
of Bulgaria telegraphed to the Dulgarhi
statesman's widow : "Filled with Indignation
and sorrow , and only desirous In the prcscnc
of this terrible event of remembering th
eminent qualities of him who rendered such
memorable services to Bulgaria , all join me In
most profound and sorrowful condolences with
your tears , and pray God to support you In
this fearful trial and grant you the consola
tion of the thought that history will preserve
In eternal memory the patriot whom an abom
inable outrage has torn from the affections of
his friends. "

trations In the gospel the denomination has
moved steadily forward.

come you with your 3,500 delegates , where the
keynote was 'Education. '
"Last year , as emphasizing the truth of the
name 'International , ' the convention crossed
the border and Toronto received you with
open hearts and hand , even though your
numbers had Increased to 5,700.
"That the holy spirit may so sanctify these
coming days to each one of you that In all
after life you miy have the consciousness
that It was well that you did come Is the

plaudcd discourse by giving "a welcome , ten

Jersey told their methods of raising monej
for the cause of Christ. Rev. Johnstot
Meyers , D.D. . of Cincinnati made an addres
on "The Bible Method of Winning Souls. "
METHOD OF WINNING - SOULS.
"This was the work of Jesus Christ. Hi
came not to educate men or even to mak
them better. He came to 'seek and save tha
which was lost. ' Christ's work as a teache
Is only Incidental to His work as a savior
It Is as a savior He stirs our hearts am
wins our love. He would never have comi
to earth merely to teach or Improve char
acter. Missions like these would never havi
led Him to undergo the suffering and deatl
through which He passed. Ills heart wa
moved with pity when He saw souls In dan
ger of an eternal hell.
"The bible has no method about place. I
says , by teaching and example , anywhere
Philip and the eunuch are out riding whei
Philip raves him. ' Paul Is In prison , and 1
U midnight when he saves the Jailer. H
stands upon the deck of the vessel and ainii
the raging storm points men to the Savior
The very strangeness of the circumstance
must have added power to his messages. An ;
place , any circumstances are favorable t
reach unsaved people. An aged minister o
my acquaintance lay dying. The doctor cam
In haste and was feeling his pulie , when h
turned to the physician and said 'Doctor
you need Jesus more than I need you. Say
now , will you pray for ytiurielf ? ' The physi
cian was surprised , but replied : ' 1 will pray. '
And he did , and after our old friend's death
came Into the church. I was first Impressed
myself amid the laughter and Joy of the
gayest of gay evening 'parties. My friend
whispered In my car , 'I wish you mere saved. '
It Is the dallying spirit of the devil which
says : 'Walt for the convenient opportunity. '
Paul before Pellx , on trial f6r his life , In
Caesar's palace or In the prison , yet his work
of salvation goes en. "
Another open parliament was then held ,
conducted by Rev. S. A. Northrop of Fort
Wayne , Ind. The subject was "What Has
Your Society Done to Promote a Revival In
the Church ? "
The board of managers will sit tomorrow
at 10 o'clock to hear committees from cities
desiring to procure the convention for 1S96
and 1S07.

IRON MOUNTAIN , Mich. , July 18. No
positive Information as to the safety of the
entombed miners at the Pew able mine can
be given. Slow progress Is being made
through the miss of ore , broken timbers and
rocks , and work Is being much delayed by
continued falling of ore. It docs not seem
possible that any of the nine men have been
rescued and the report that communication
had been established with the men last night
appears to have been false.
Prom a miner who was emplojed In the
rescue crow all last night , It Is learned that
no signals were had with the room In which
the men arc supposed to be confined , and he
Is of the opinion that all but three have been
killed. The cave-In occurred Just as the
men were quitting work and It la certain
that some were caught.
Following Is the list of miners entombed
at the Pew able mine
Prank Bow den , Edward Webb , Peter Carl
son T F. Johnson , M. Somora , Paul Fan-

At this hour (2 ( p m ) it Is known that
some of the miners arc alive , as hammering
on a pipe leading Into the room In which the
men are confined has been responded to
with nine raps given , and this Is accepted as
evidence that the men are all together , but
whether all escaped Injury cannot be es
tablished. Better progress than was antici
pated Is being made by the rescuing crew
and It Is now known that the room will be
reached In about five hours.
The work of drifting to the entombed
miners Is progressing. They have been
heard to speak. Superintendent Brown Is
In the mine and thinks the men will be
reached some time tonight.

DEADWOOD , S. I ) , . July 18 ( Special )
The Dejdwood Terra mine , situated a few
miles above Deadwood , which , for seventeen
vears has been worked as a low cradc prop
erty and which during that time has paid
dividends amounting to over $1 , ! > 00,000 , Is
again in evidence as a gold producer. About
two years ago the mine was shut down be
cause the character of the ore encountered
In the workings was not of sufficient value to
warrant Its working , throwing about 300 men
out of employment. The mine was started up
again about a year ago under an agreement
with the men by which It could be worked
upon a more economical basis. A body of
siliceous ore has been discovered In the mine
vhlch gives an average assay value of ? CO per
: on. This body of ore , while known to exist
'or years , has been overlooked and not con
sidered worth bothering with , as It was not
of a free milling nature. Explanations dls
close the fact that this ore body extends n\er
ho entire group of claims owned by the com
pany , and also that It has been encountered
n adjoining properties , the miners at work
upon the Golden Crown having uncovered an
ire body which gives assay returns of { 250 per
on. These two new discoveries mean the
employment of a large force of men and nt
ncreased wages.

If Captain Beck , Indian agent at Ponder ,
believes that "discretion Is the better part o
valor" he Is probably In the woods today-
waiting for reinforcements to protect hint
from annihilation at the hands ot a superior
force , the I'emler Homo guards , under com
mand ot that battle scarred hero , Willie BUI
Peebles.
General Peebles arrived In the city
Wednesday evening for the purpose of secur
ing arms.uid equipment for his army. Early
yesterday morning he commenced his war
like preparations and marched to the Webster
Street depot at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
ahead of an express wagon loaded with rlllca
and other munitions of war.
It was In the selection of arms for lita
followers that General Peebles displayed the
metal of which heroes are made. His first
call was at a rarnam street gun store , ami
his fltbt Inquiry was as to how much the
firm would take. In long time notes secured ,
by war bonds , for the stock In sight. The
guns were brought down for examination , but
they failed to fill the requirements The
general was looking for death dealers to In
dian police and Indian agents. He gazed
with scorn upon the 45-70's and guns of that
caliber as being only fit for pot hunters and ;
amateur sportsmen , and totally Inadequate
far the serious business that he had In hand.
Under the Impression Unit he could find big
ger guns In a bigger house , General Peebles
deployed his forces and marched upon tha
wholesale hardware district. He told
.1 story of war and bloodshed
down at Leo-CIarke-Andrcesen's that nearly
brought from the thoroughly frightened Billy ,
Glass .1 prom.se to rustle up the guns If Gen
eral Peebles would only exempt him from any ,
draft that he might make for men for tha
coming contest. That was a strategic move
on the part of the general He really had no
Idea of Impressing Omaha men Into the serv
ice Ho had the Ponder Home guards , and
with them properly armed there was no ques
tion In his mind of the speejy annihilation ot
the opposing army of Indians and Indian
agents.
AN IDEA CONCERNING GUNS.
The work of * ; < > lig and sccurlnc arm *
for the men continue 1 the c'ltlro day. Gen
eral Peebles at first vv inted nothing smaller
than howitzers , but as the supply of that
brand ot guns was short he was finally com
pelled to take let-s pretentious weapons anil
gave an order that exhausted the supply ot
rifles In the Omaha stores At 3 o'clock :
h had seemed 100 rifles , 100 shotguns and
" ,000 rounds of ammunition. As much of th's ,
lock as could be got ready for Immediate ,
hlpment was hurriedly packed and General
'eebles inarched In single file to the Webster
itreot depot to superintend the forwardlna
if the purchases. The Indlspenslblc glitter-

first express wagon unloaded. He carsfully
checked oft the cofiln-llke boxes that wero-
filled with rifles and snuff sd the battle from
far. When the boxes of cartridges and kegs
of powder were rolled In ho could hardly-
restraln his. Impulse to shpot some one right
on the spot. Then the second wagon wat
ilrlven up and the driver roll'd out a few
packages of civilian merchandise and tha
general's face took on a pained expression
which was turned to disgust when the bal
ance of the load proved to be empty milk ;
cans , returning to some creamery up the *
lino. The second Installment of guns had
not been collided In time for the shipment
and will be sent to the scene of carnage.
on the first train today If the line of com
munication remains open as far as Pemler.
Contrary to his well known custom General
Peebles submitted to a brief Interview Just
as ho was boarding the train for the BCCIIO
of action.
"You newspaper fellows , " said the general ,
'sem to look upon this matter as a huge *
lake , bat I want to assure you that It Is no
laughing matter What do we propose to do ?
Simply to pro'cct our rights. We are peace
able citizens and hope to avoid bloodshed , but
f Captain Beck Ignores the restraining order
of Judge Norrls we will protect our rlghtt * by
force of arms , If necessiry. Wo don't want to
resort to such measures , but the citizens
ot Thurston county and Pender are aroused ,
and will not hesitate to use the arms I have
purchased If It becomes necessary to protect
our rights These guns will be placed In tha
lands of men who will be iworn In as deputies
under Sheriff Mullen and only submission to
the order of Judge Norrls will prevent them
from being used "
General Peebles allowed about 100 plain
civilians to ride on the same train with hlnl
