Additional advices by the steamer Pelgic from China announce the complete anni- hilation by earthquake of the town of, Kuchan, Persia. Twelve thousand persons | were killed in the disaster. Ten thousand | bodies have been recovered to date. The once important and beautiful city of 20,000 people is now only a scene of death, desolation and terror. Fifty thousand cat- tle were destroyed at the same time. Kuchan lies in a fertile plain at the foot of the mountains. As is usually the case, the soft alluvial plain was undoubtedly dis- turbed in a far greater degree by the eart quakes than the neighboring rock ma The above report confirms the earlier in- timation of the destruction of Kuchan. Robbed by Bogus Gas Men. Several complaints have reached the office of the Washington Gas Light Company of the robbery of houses by men representing themselves as employes of the company, who have been sent to repair leaks, é&c. Mr. Chas. B. Bailey, the secretary of the company, says: “All our employes who are sent to the houses of our patrons are either uniformed or provided with a badge. It oc- curred to me that it would be weil if ‘The Star would caution persons against allow- ing men claiming to be sent out by this | company access to their houses unless they | wear the uniform or are able to show their badges.” ge Prof. Riley’s Address.

Progress of the Negotiations at Rio de Janeiro. — + AN AMERICAN EMBASSY BURGLARIZED Swiss Anarchists Insult the italian Consulate at Zurich. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS. MONTEVIDEO, Jan. 29.—A dispatch from the Associated Press correspondent at Rio de Janeiro, dated January 24, confirms all the information previously cabled by this correspondent in regard to the progress of | | Peace negotiations between the insurgents and the government of Brazil, under the auspices of Admiral Benham, in command of the United States squadron at Rio de Janeiro, As exclusively cabled by the Associated Press, the peace negotiations, which were commenced some time ago, in spite of the denials of certain news agencies, continue, and are looked upon as likely to lead to a settlement of the affairs which now dis- turb the peace of Brazil. The Associated Press correspondent has never stated that an understanding had been arrived at between Admiral Da Gama and the secretary of President Peixoto, whom he has met several times by appoint- ment on board the United States flagship San Francisco, where the peace preliminar- les have been discussed in the presence of Rear Admiral Benham, as exclusively cabled to the Associated Press. On the contrary, the Associated Press correspon- dent distinctly stated that the terms asked for by Admiral Da Gama were more favor- able to the insurgents than President Peixoto’s secretary thought the president would grant. It was also stated in the Associated Press dispatches that it was -probable that other conferences between Admiral Da Gama and the representative of President eg could rangement, one way or the other, be made. All th way pe se facts are confirmed in every ible. At Rio de Janeiro, when the of the Associated Press corre- spondent was sent, it was reported that the basis of the compromise arrangement had been agreed upon, and that the rep- resentative of the insurgents and the rep- resentatives of the government of Brazil were being engaged in discussing the de- tails of the arrangement to be arrived at with the view of putting an end to the war, or at any rate, to the revolt of the Brazilian nav: Difficulties in the Way. The Associated Press correspondent adds that one of the difficulties in the way of a peace arrangement is reported to be the connection recently formed between the insurgents of the neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro and those in the southern portion of Brazil. President Peixoto is sald to be desirous of ending the revolt in Rio Grande do Sul, at Desterro, and at Rio de Janeiro at the same time; but according to report there are difficulties in the way, and hence the delay in settling matters at Rio de Janeiro. Of course, in view of the fact that the peace negotiations are being conducted, under the auspices of Rear Admiral Ben- ham, on board the United States flagship San Francisco, it is not possible to obtain exact details as to what is going on. Only the general outline of the affair is obtain- able, and this has been cabled exclusively to the Associated Pre: r Admiral La Gama continues to confer daily with the United States admiral, and was with him for four hours on Monday. The fighting tn and about the bay con- tinues, especially at night time. The rebels have captured the island of Bon Jesus, as already reported. During the early morning of Thursday some soldiers fired upon the launch of the San Francisco, striking it twice, but doing little damage. ‘he theory is that the real object was not robbery, but the destruction of certain pa- pers, or else the abstraction of certain im- portant documents. The police are doing everything possible to assist the officials of the embassy in un- raveling this mystery, the whereabouts of every American in Rome is being ascer- tained and especial attention is being paid to the destination and identity of two Americans who left Rome hurriedly last night. The affair is attracting considerable attention. The work of investigation is greatly hindered by the systematic manner in which the burglars worked while de- stroying the archives, and little hope is ex- pressed that the authors of the outrage will be discovered. ROSINA VOKES DEAD. Brightest a Merriest of a Clever Theatrical Family. LONDON, Jan. 29.—Miss Rosina Vokes of the famous Vokes family is dead. She died at Babicombe, Torquay, on Saturday. Rosina Vokes came from a theatrical family, she being the oldest of six girls, only one of whom is living. The Vokes family came to this country and made their first appearance in New York city at the Union Square Theater in 1872. The family made their appearanze in the comedy, “Belles in the Kitchen,” which made a big success. The family then tour- ed the country to a succession of crowded houses, Through sickness and deach the family finally left the stage. one by one, and about ten years ago she drifted back to Europe. After a season of starring on the other side Rosina Vokes decided to make a tour of this country again. She came here and made her first appearance as a star at Daly's Theater In New York some years ago. She appeared in three different one-act comedies at each performance, and duplicated her past successes. Since then she has played in this country every sea- son. She was unquestionably the clevenest one of the Vokes family, and her loss to the English-speaking stage is a great one. For the past two years the hard work be- gan to tell on her, and as a consequence she cut her seasons shorter than ever. Her last tour was closed In this city December 16, and she immediately sailed for Europe, where she thought the change of alr would benefit her, but the news of her death today proves that she was too far gone. She leaves a husband, Cecil Clay, who acted as her manager. VALUABLE PAPERS STOLEN. The American Embassy at Rome Bur- glarized. ROMA, January 29.—Burglars broke into | the safe of the American embassy here yes- terday evening, and not finding any val- uables inside it, they wrecked the room in which the safe was kept, broke a bust of Washington which stood in a corner of the room, burned all the papers they could lay | their hands on, and destroyed valuable books. There is no trace to the identity of the burglars. Later developments seem to show that there is something very mysterious in con- | nection with the burglary. The burglars, {t appears, did not notice a rich collection | of ancient medals which was kept in the | same room as the safe which was broken open. All the rooms were strewn with debris, broken furniture and burned papers; but the actual damage done, so far as money value is concerned, is not great, be- ing only about $800, according to” the estimates made, but the destruction of the archives is complete and irreparable, and this causes considerable suspicion as to the motives of the burglars. RIOTING AT ZURICH. Anarchists Fasten Their Flags at the Italian Consulate. ZURICH, Switzerland, Jan. 29.—The city is the scene of a serious riotous demonstra- tion. A band of anarchists, carrying red and black flags, marched to the Italian con- sulate yesterday and affixed the flags to the escutcheon over the door of the consulate. The pelice interfered and a riotous scene followed, during which a severe struggle between the representatives of authorities and the rioters took place. During the riot many people were wounded on both sides and sixteen of the prominent rioters were arrested. The Czar Has Influenza. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 29.—The czar is suffering from a severe attack of influenza, bronchitis and inflammation of the lungs. The lower part of the czar’s right leg is inflamed and his temperature on Saturday night was 103.3. It is announced today that the czar passed a good night. LONDON, Jan. 29.—All the European bourses are flat today, owing to the illness of the czar. In addition, the bourses of Berlin and Frankfort are affected by the failure of Solomon and Maas. Strong Belief in Peace. VIENNA, Jan. 29.—The war office an- nounces that henceforth a reduction wil be made in the commissions granted yearly to officers in the reserves. This is an evi- dence of the strong belief in official circles in the continuance of peace. Ontbreak in Oporto Expected. LONDON, Jan. 29.—A dispatch from Lis- | bon says that the government has received information that an irsurrecticn 1s expect- ed to break out in Oporto. A fleet of war- ships sailed for Oporto this morning. Monson‘s Injunction Dissolved. j LONDON, Jan. 2¥.—The court of appeal \has dissolved the injunction granted Al- fred John Monson, the principal in the | Ardlamont mystery, restraining Miss Tus- bo from exhibiting a wax effigy of him- self, Empress Frederick to Visit Mother. LONDON, Jan. 29.—Empress Frederick of Germany will arrive Friday at Osborne House for a month’s visit to her mother, the queen. Wanted to See Vaillant Executed. PARIS, Jan. 20.—The report last night that Vaillant, under sentence of death for throwing the bomb in the chamber’of depu- j ties, would be taken to be executed this |; morning caused crowds to gather where all the Paris executions take place. Consid- | erable indignation was expressed when it was learned this morning that Vaillant was not to be put to death today. The govern- ; ment intends to make sweeping arrests of anarchists until after Vaillant is executed. —-—._—_ STRIKERS ARE COWED. The Riotous Foreigners Unwilli: s to Attack Armed Men. PITTSBURG, Pa., Jan. 29.—The striking miners in the Mansfield coal district seem tctally cowed by the disastrous attack up- on the Beadling mines and the presence of a couple of hundred of deputy sheriffs, for peace prevailed in the district all Sun- day and last night. At Bridgeville intense | alarm still prevailed last night, and a vigil- |ance committee of citizens assisted the {depaty sheriffs in patrolling the streets, ; They had several alarms, but they proved | groundless, Rumors of all kinds are still flying. The woods, according to the reports of scared farmers, are supposed to be full of bands of Slavonic and Belgian miners, awaiting opportunity to rush trom their hiding re- treats upon unwary deputy sheriffs, put the latter to rout and then continue their de- struction of coal tipples, ‘These succession of alarms kept the dep- uty sheriffs awake last night trom Mane. field to the upper end of Tom's Run. Sheriff Richards, who has been at Mans- field receiving reports, returned to Pitts- burg for a brief time this morning. He says he does not believe any further con- certed attempts at property destruction will be made by the strikers. They seem to have lost heart over their defeat at the Beadling mine and are gener- ally in hiding. There is much fear, though, that some miners will surreptitiously at- tempt the destruction of property, as from the testimony of S » the dead rioter, there is no doubt that a society of foreign miners had been formed for the purpose of destroying property. A large meeting of strikers is now being held near Manstield and the sheriff and people are watching it closel, What they fear is that after the adjournment the strikers may make another attack. If to- day passes in peace the trouble for the present is perhaps at an end. Assembling the Deputies, 11:30 a.m.—A telephone message from Mansfield says rumors are afloat that an- other outbreak has occurred at a point rear the railroad between Mansfield and Bridge- ville. A special train is waiting at Mans- field to convey the deputy sheriffs to the scene of the disturbance. The deputies are being assembled as rapidly as possible. Later—The trouble is now sald to be at Ridgeway mines, on Miller's run, six miles from Mansfield. ———— MATCHED WITH YOUNG GRIFFO, Geo: Dixon to Fight for $10,000 a Side, CHICAO, Jan. 29.—George Dixon, feather- weight champion of the world, reached town early yesterday morning, and within twelve hours after his arrival was matched to fight Alfred Griffiths, known as “Young Griffo,” to a finish for $10,000 a side and the largest purse offered by any recognized club. The forfeit has not been put up, ow- ing to the absence from the city of one of Griffo's backers, but it is expected that the money will be posted tonight. Al Jansen, the Providence feather weight, will box four scientific rounds with Dixon at the Empire Theater tonight. Yesterday he boxed with Dixon’s partner, Jack Lynch, putting up a fast, clever set-to. The articles of agreement will provide that the men fight at 120 pounds and weigh in at 3 p.m. the day of the contest. Besides the substantial stakes the feather-weight cham- pionship of the world will go to the winner. Both sides announced that they desired J. Harry Ballard of the Inter Ocean to hold the preliminary forfeit of $1,000 to bind the match. James J. Corbett and Charley Mitchell will probably give a sparring ex- hibition in Chicago in a few days. The arrangements have not yet been completed, but it is thought they will be, as both the fighters have expressed a willingness to come. It will be the first time the men have sparred since the fight, and will prob- ably signalize Mitchell's retirement from the ring. To Protect the Church, MILWAUKEE, Wis., Jan. 29.—As a result of Editor W. T. Stead’s lecture on the sub- ject “The Church of God in Milwaukee” an organization will be formed in this city, consisting of members of all denominations, for the purpose of protecting the church against legislation dangerous -to the people and the church. A committee consisting of Rev. Theodote Clifton, Rabb! Hecht W. J. Bruce, W. J. Anderson and Prof. Hooper was appointed by Mr, Stead. to take preliminary steps at once to perfect the organization. This body is to watch all questions of morals and sound the alarm as soon as matters bearing on them are brought before the legislature or the com- mon council. gee A Pioneer Grocer of Chicago. CHICAGO, Jan. 29.—Meret L. Satterle, | who came to Chicago in 1836 and was the | first wholesale grocer in the city, died last night at the age of 80 years. He retired from business many years ago.

It is expected that he will be ordered to the command of one of the new vessels to be put in commis- sion about that time. Nothing has yet been settled regarding his successor. If the as- |signment is given to an officer below the grade of captain Commander Goodrich will have @ good chance of getting it. HELD FOR MURDER. Result of the Coroner's Inquest Over the Body of Ben M. Shepherd. Evidence Showing That Gus. Jenkins Stabbed Him—Fred. Hawkins Said to Have Given Him the Knife. ‘Coroner Woodward held an inquest this morning at the Emergency Hospital over the body of Benjamin M. Shepherd, who was stabbed, it is said, by another colored man, Gus Jenkins, at the corner of 20th and L streets last Monday, and who died yester- day morning at the hospital. Jenkins, a heavy-jowled, thick-set, power- ful-looking negro,was present at the inquest, in the custody of Sergt. Keefe and Officers MeGrann and Wheeler of the third precinct. Frederick Hawkins, another and very black young man, was also under arrest, charged with having furnished the murderer with the knife and otherwise aided and abetted him in his attack. The two men were held for the action of the grand jury, charged with murder. The members of the jury were Henry F. Reh, A. J. Le Jambre, N. L. Fitzhugh, Thos. C. Henderson, George E, Hutchins and Sam- fuel W. Stinemetz. Dr. Johnson’s Testimony. The first witness in the case was Dr. Lincoln Johnsen of the hospital staff, who attended the deceased. He testified that Shepherd was brought to the hospital last Monday, in the forenoon, suffering from shock as the result of stab wounds of the abdomen. The wound was properly at- tended to and the operation of laparotomy was performed about an hour later. The deceased made no ante-mortem statement. When he was brought to the hospital the injured man seemed to be somewhat under the influence of liquor, but was able to an- swer questions coherently. The cause of death was hemorrhage resulting from the stab wound, and the post-mortem proved what was already known, that the assail- ant’s knife had penetrated an abdominal tumor. There were no evidences of other disease apparent, either when the man was brought in or at the post-mortem. Results of the Autopsy. Dr. Edward M. Schaeffer, who performed the autopsy on the body yesterday after- noon, detailed the results of his examina- tion. The only wound was one made by a knife in the lower part of the abdomen. The direction of the wound was slightly downward. The intestines were not cut. On dissecting the discovery was made that the man had had the most curfous mal- formation of the left kidney, which was quite hollow and fourteen inches long. The knife had penetrated this and caused the fluid to run out. With the exception of this malformation the man was in good health, and the cause of Ceath was the stab wound and the resultant hemorrhage. The Deceased’s Brother. Henry M. Shepherd, the brother of the de- ceased, testified that he was present when the assault occurred last Monday. He and his brother went into a bar room at the corner of 20th and L streets and Jenkins and a man named Will Ross were in there. Dewey tried to eject Jenkins, who was mak- ing some trouble. Jenkins came out and had a few words with Ben Shepherd, which ended in Jenkins’ striking Shepherd with his fist and then lunging at him with a knife. Witness knocked Jenkins down before the latter stabbed Ben and after he had struck him. The deceased had never known his as- sailant prior to the morning of the cutting. No one in the party was drunk and the at- tack was entirely unprovoked. Other Witn en of the Affray. Edward Smith, colored, who lives in the neighborhood of the scene of the affray, was the next witness. There were four rounds of drinks in Drury’s place. Ben. Shepherd took cigars. Jenkins tried to pick a quarrel with Shepherd, who tried to avoid him, and left the place. Jenkins started out after Shepherd, and said to him: “You said something I don’t like,” and then he made three lunges at him with a knife. All were peaceful and trying to avoid a quarrel, but Jenkins seemed de- termined to prove to the crowd that he was a “bad man.” Deceased was a quiet, hard- working man. Frederick R. Watts, a young colored man, who saw the affray, described the in- cidents which preceded the trouble. Jen- kins was drinking whisky, and was in an vely mood, Witness saw Hawkins give Jenkins a knife, and then Jenkins ran out with it and stabbed at Ben. Then he tried to stab Smith and Henry Shepherd, but they managed to escape. There had been no threats made nor blows struck, and the deceased had done nothing to anger Jen- He had never heard of there being any trouble between the two men. Henry Walker, a colored hack driver, gave corroborative testimony about the fight which made it look all the more like an unprovoked affray. He saw Hawkins lay his hand on Jenkins’ shoulder and gay: “I'll stay with you.” He saw the knife in Jen- kins’ hand, but did not see the blow. No one else in the crowd had any weapons. Peter A. Drury, a white man, the brother of the man who keeps the saloon, testified that he was present when the trouble be- gan. The Shepherds and Smith weat out at Drury’s request. Then Jenkins went out after them and witness went to the door. He saw Jenkins getting up from the ground with a knife in his hind. John Morris, a bartender in Drury’s place, testified that he was behind the bar when the war of words began. Drury ask- ed Jenkins to leave the place, but the latter refused. Then he asked the Shepherds and Smith to leave, and they did so. Jenkins followed them and witness saw the stab- bing from the window. William Hunaker, a young white boy, who saw the cutting, testified that he saw Jenkins cut three times at Shepherd, but Saw no weapons in any one lese’s hand. The Officer’s Evidence. Officer Alfred W. Parham of the police force stated that it was just three minutes to 10 o’clock when Ed. Smith came into the station house with the wounded man. Wit- ness arrested Jenkins after a run and on the way back to the station he asked Jen- kins why he had cut Shepherd. ‘il cut any — —— — who raps me in the neck that way.” “Well, you've got yourself in a pretty box now,” was the officer's comment. “I don’t give a — —. I'd just as soon be in jail as anywhere else.” The officer stated that at the station house Jenkins refused to be searched and that when they did search him they did not find the knife. The Verdict. This closed the testimony, as the two men who were under arrest, by the advice o1 their counsel, refused to answer any ques- tions. After being out for a few moments the jury returned with a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death as the result of a stab wound inflicted by Augustus Jenkins. He was held for the grand jury, as was also Hawkins, who was held as an accessory. While the jury were out these two precious specimens waited in @ most unconcerned and nonchalant man- ner, chatting with the officers and others, as though it were an every-day affair to be charged with a murder, which only added to their fame. —_—___ TO BE ELECTED TOMORROW. Maj. S. S. Turner to Be Chosen Succes- sor to Representative O'Ferrall. Special Correspondence of the Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., January 29, 1894. Maj. S. S. Turner of Warren county, who will tomorrow certainly be elected to suc- ceed Charles, T. O’Ferrall as Congress- man from the seventh district, is an able lawyer and sound and logical thinker. He will always be found at his post and will faithfully discharge the duties of his office. He is a man who has views of his own, is not afraid to express them and can always be placed by colleague or opponent. He is fifty years old, and has been a constant worker in the democratic party for nearly thirty years. When the late war broke out he was a cadet at the Virginia Military Institute and served in the call of cadets. He also served in the seventeenth Virginia infantry, which was a part of the famous Stonewall brigade. His only public office was held in 1870, when he was elected from Warren county to the general assembly. Like his predecessor, he is a strong Cleveland democrat and is in favor of the Wilson bill INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS, ACCOUNTANTS... Pare 10 AMUSEMENT! -Pare 9 ATTORNEYS.

UNDERTAKERS . tions in the Bil The old soldiers are expected to be heard from as a result of the agreement of the | House committee on appropriations to re- port the pension bill at $150,000,000, or a re- duction of $15,000,000 on last year, There is a sharp difference of opinion in the committee as to the propriety of this re- duction, the republican members claiming that it is the result of overzealous economy on the part of Pension Commissioner Loch- ren, and the democrats maintaining that it is a natural business reduction resulting from the falling off of pensions. These two phases were set forth by Representative O'Neil (Mass.), who framed the present bill, and Representative Grout (Vt.), a republi- can member of the subcommittee. “There is nothing antagonistic to the old | soldier in this bill,” said Mr. O'Neil. “The republican members concede this so far as the committee is concerned, and claim that the pension bureau is making the reduc- tions. The reduction is due mainly to the fact that the high-water mark of pension Payments has been reached. They will sub- side gradually from this time forward, and at the end will disappear suddenly like the close of an ebb tide. “It is this natural decline which has set in rather than any adverse policy against the soldiers that has brought about the reduction.” Representative Grout say: “The secret of the reduction is that the pension office is doing but little business. It has stopped allowing pensions at the rate Raum al- lowed them. This reduction of allowances has been so great that the pension office will probably have $25,000,000 unexpended balance from its appropriation now availa- ble, and this will be turned into the treas- ury. The appropriation for 1804 was $165,- 000,000, but the expenditures of the bureau for the first six months of the year are under $70,000,000, or at the rate of $140,- 00,000 for the year. This leaves twenty-| five million dollars to go back to the treasury. The main causes of this great saving at the pension office is that first payments are not being made. Under Raum the first payments for I8%3 were $34,000,000 in round numbers, but Commis- sioner Lochren testified before us that the first payments for six monghs under him were only about $4,769,310. This is a differ- ence of twenty millions on first payments. And it is the old soldiers who have to stand this deiay and stoppage of allow- ences and first payments.” THE MEEKIN-FARRELL DEAL. Contradictory Reports From New York Regarding It. John Ward, captain of the New York Base Ball Club, is represented as saying in an interview in the New York Sun: “Manager Schmelz’s declaration in this morning’s Sun that the Meekin-Farrell deal is off, so far as Washington is concerted, comes very near being the truth. I may add that the New York clvb has decided to end negotiations, and will try to worry along without them. Why, Wagner :irst offered to release Meekin and Farrell to New York for $12,500 and Shorty Fuller thrown in. Think of that! Then they were willing to take $10,000 in cash on sec- ond thought. The New York club finally made them a handsome cash offer for the = bees yr refused.” e World says: lanager Wagner of the Washington Base Ball Club was in town yesterday and had a conference with Treas- urer Talcott. What really was accom- plished could not be guessed, but it is prob- able that the Senators’ manager was here to patch up the deal for Meekin and Far- rell. Neither Mr. Talcott nor Mr. Wheeler could be seen yesterday, so that the out- come of their littie talk was not learned. “There has been no recent correspondence between the Department of Justice and Marshall Porter of the Alaska district, re- garding the enforcement of the Edmunds act,” said an official of the department to- day when shown a Port Townsend dispatch concerning a recent edict of the marshal in Aaska. Consequently the officials of the department are unable to account for Marshal Porter's reported activity in threatening to arrest those persons who have unlawful relations with the native women. Although the Edmunds act was passed with special reference to the terri- tory of Utah, yet it has general application and if Marshal Porter finds that the law is being violated in Alaska, his duty as an officer of the government probably would impel him to enforce it, although, as stated, he has no special instructions on the sub- ject. In the territory of New Mexico the law is being enforced, as the reports of the marshal of the territory show that many of the offenses for which persons are convict- ed are unlawful cohabitation. —————-o.___ A Fine Collection. For the time being the auction rooms of Cc. G. Sloan & Company, 1407 G street, look like a small section of the world’s fair, for there is on exhibition the exhibited portion of the Brussels Academy collection of cera- mic arts and the whole of a wonderfully fine collection of Dresden porcelains, tvory carvings, Vienna enameling and « few speci- mens of marquetrie furniture. In the col- lection is the largest pair of Dresden vases ever turned out and a number of vases that run in value way up into the thousands of dollars. In some respects it is the finest collection ever displayed in this city, and the reason for its being here is a simple one—the managers regard Washington better market for really high art than New York or any of the other large cities. There are 600 articles in the collection and they will be sold at auction, beginning tomorrow at 2 p.m., the sale lasting through Friday. Hundreds have admired the display, which will be open to visitors for inspection up to the time the sale begins. ole Marriage Licenses.
