BOLD SCHEME TO KIDNAP. Cowboys Conspire to Extort $25,000 rom Henry Miller. BAKERSFIELD, Cal, July 3.-8. W. Weldle, general superintendent for “Cattle King” Henry Miller, is authority for the statement that three ranch hands conspired to kidnap Miller on one of his pertodical v h, and after compeliing him to sign a check for $25,000, hold him while one of the trio cashed it.

LATE NEWS BY WIRE More Disquieting News From Ohit- pore, India--Trouble Feared. MILITARY DISPLAY + ADVOCATED Powers May Have to Coerce Tur- key Into Terms of Peace. WAR MAY BE RESUMED ee CALCUTTA, July 3.—The news from Chitpore is again disquieting. Hundreds of Mchammedans are congregating to pray in the mosque, where the original dispute arose that led to the disturbances of Wed- nesday and Thursday. The rioting grew out of the practice of Mohammedans of seizing and refusing to pay rent for certain so-calle@ mosques, -bullt contrary to the tenets of the Mohammedan religion, on ground belonging to infidels. The demoll- tion of a mud house, cne of the so-called rresques, led to the outbreak. Sent for Reinforcements. ‘The Mchammedans sent to the country districts for reinforcements, appealing to all true Mohammedans to come to the aid of their co-religionists, and conflicts with the police and military ensued. Europeans were assaulted wherever found, all tele- 5 ; build- graphic communication wes cut off, | ings containing Europeans were besieged, and, owing to the absence of the higher efficials at Simla, a long time elapsed be- fore the local forces were allowed to fire on the rioters. Eventually a compromise was agreed upon, based on the uncondi- tional surrender of the land to the Moham- medans; but it is belleved that this con- cession will form a dargercus precedent, and that the rioters will celebrate their vietory through India. The slightest inter- ferenee will cause trouble tc break out again. Favor a Military Display. There is a strong feelirg in favor of mak- ing an imposing display of military force, and it is suggested that the authorities should parade all the troops of the neigh- borhood through the disaffected centers. LTAN MANEUVERING FOR TIME. Delny in Pence Negotiations Crentes Apprehension of Future Trouble. CONSTANTINOPLE, July 3.—The delay in the peace negotiations between Greece and Turkey is creating apprehensions, and a strained situation is the result. Every- thing tends to show that the sultan is de- sirious of gaining time, either in the hope of a disagreement of the powers or in or- der to allow the excitement among the Mohammedans t> calm down before yield- ing. The powers, however, remain united and are apparently determined not to yield anything but a strategic rectification of the frontier. The question most discussed in political circles is whether, in the event of the contumacy of Turkey, the powers will pro- ceed to coerce that nation. It is not be- lieved they could be brought to act in uni- son on this point. The prevalent opinion, however, is that the sultan will finally yield. Uneasy Feeling at Athens. ATHENS, July 3.—A pessimistic view of the negotiations for peace between Turkey and Greece is taken here, and even the resumption of hostilities in the near fu- ture is regarded as possible. It is stated that in such an event King George will take command of the Greek troops. = eee PROTEGE OF JOE BLACKBURN. ‘orger William Board Comes of Prominent Kentucky Family. SAN FRANCISCO, July 3—Ricnard T. Board, who has been held for trial betore the supericr court of Alameda county tor fersing a $40 check, is a protege of ex-Sena- tor Joe Blackburn of Kentucky, and his father was for thirty years clerk of the United States circuit court of Kentucky. Board was for many years a deputy under his father. Mrs. Board ascribes the misfortune of her husband and herself to her sister, Mrs. J. E. Byrne, and Mrs. Florence Blythe Hinckley. She says she was brought from England to help make the battle for the Blythe millions, that in the days when the heirs and her relatives were impoverish- ed she became a common servant in their kitchen and that now in their hour of prosperity she is cast aside. She declares her husband was driven by necessity to commit forgery. He offers no defense. WILL RETURN TO THE K. OF L. Window Glass Workers Almost Unan- imous for the Change. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 3.—The vote of the local preceptories of the Window Glass Workers’ Association on the question of re- turning to the Knights of Labor, as As- sembly 300, is now in progress throughout the United States. Thus far the vote is almost unanimous for the return of the as- sociation to the K. of L. fold. President Burns says the joint conference on the window glass scale will be held about August 1, probably at Columbus or Indianapolis. An advance in wages from 10 ) per cent, he says, will doubtless be ; demanded. He anticipates an eariy settle- ment and a general resumption of the fac- tories in September. Stock Tax Excites Denver Board. DENVER, Col., July 3.—The decision of the caucus of republican senators to place a tax on all sales of stock has created con- sternation on the Denver and Colorado Springs mining exchanges, where many cheap stocks are dealt in. Ramsay CG. Boxy, president ef the Colorado mining ex- change, expresses the belief that such a tax would be unconstitutional, but said it would be evaded uiyhow by transferring agreements instead of the stock itself.

The Indians Who Have Been Stirring Up Things in Idaho. Adjutant General Breck received a tele- gram this morning from General Coppin- ser, commanding the Department of the Platte, dated Omaha, Neb., July 2, in re- gard to the alleged Indian troubles at Ca- mas Prairie, containing the following in- teresting details: “Lieut. Irwin, Fort Hall agent, wires from Hatley, Idaho, that reports of Indian trou- ble at Camas Prairie have proved without foundation; that not more than forty In- dians (Lemhis and Shoshones), including women and children, are in that vicinity and have committed no depredations; that he Knows them to be peaceable Indians, and that no troops will be needed. In view of the above positive information from re- liable officer on the spot, I have revoked order for the movement of the Fort Robin- son squadron to Hatley. Lieut. Col. Ran- dall will be at the latter place today, and assist in the straightening out of matters there. Lemhi agent wires he has been in- formed that five of his Indians, who, with their families, are absent from reservation, and are supposed to be in vicinity of Camas Prairte, while passing through a deserted village, entered a house and tore linings off the walls, and may have committed other depredations, He says he has sent Indian police in pursuit, with instructions to have Indians return stolen things at once, and to return Indians to agency. He fears no hostile demonstrations, and Says these In- aians will commit theft, but are inoffen- sive. This seems to be the basis for com- plaints made te the governor of Idaho.

As it stood be- fore the improvements were made the place was very charming, but an addl- tional sum of $20,000 has been placed in the enterprise, with the result of increasing its beauty and picturesqueness a hundred fold. At night under the glare of thou- sands of incandescent ‘Nights, the effect is beautiful. Behind the main entrance a pavilion ts built, larger than any around the city, with the trimmings in harmony with those of the other buildings, simple yet exceedingly pretty. A large stairway leads up to the roof built partly over the pavilion, and from the roof retreat still an- other gracefully curving stairway leads up to the turret. Adjoining the pavilion a large lake has been constructed, in the center of which a Picturesque log retreat has been bullt, access to which is afforded by a bridge leading almost directly from an entrance to the pavilion. In addition to this there are several boats, which can be used to row over the surface of (fe rippling water. A pretty shaded walk is built all around the lake. The large pipe orgen in the amphitheater has been entirely overhauled and Placed in shape, while the stage is 1 mass of ever- greens. The place is well lighted with thirty or forty are lamps, and all of the open doorways fitted with doors to protect the interior, It is beneath the amphitheater in the grotto that a wonderful change has been made. Numerous electric lights placed here and there give a weird yet pretty effect. The outside grotto has also been rearched and is extren-ely cool. Rustic bridges have been erected across the stream leading to the Hall of Philosophy. The grounds have also been laid out in an artistic manner and are very attractive. Near the entrance are delightful walks with large arbors and plenty of pretty blooming plants. At night everything is bright under the illumination of many are lamps and thousands of small incandes- cents. Access to Glen Echo can be ob- tained by three lines of cars, which pass the door, the ride to the place proving very enjoyabl The attraction at the place is a concert given by the Fadettes, a musical company of nearly twerty-five pieces, in which the performers are all females. Last evening there was a large crowd of people in the ampitheater to hear them play, and their efforts were greeted with considerable ap- plause. The improvements to the grounds will not be fully completed until next week, when everything will be in readiness for the reception of guests. Dancing will be a feature, and concerts will be given by dif- ferent bands, including the Fadettes, while hydrocycles will be placed on the canal, and a number of other attractions offered to the public for patronage. CENTRAL REGION NOT AFFECTED, Operators Believe the Strike Will Not Cause Advance in Price. PHILIPSBURG, Pa., July 3.—The strike called by the United Mine Workers’ of- cials will not affect the mirers in the cen- tral Pennsylvania coal regions, in some portions of which several hundred miners have been on a strike against a 12 per cent reduction for a month, notably, at Gallit- zen and Barnsboro’, in Cambria county. Should the operators in the towns named succeed in forcing a reduction, it is be- leved the reduction will become general in the Clearfield and Beach Creek regions at all mires. Operatcrs in this vicinity express the opinion that the general strike in the west will not cause any great increase in output or advance in Bers for the -reason that shipments-are to eastern markets, ex- cept, possibly, in the Dubois-Reynoldsvilie district, from which a large quantity of cecal is sent to lake prints. “ —————_—_ Saengerfest Netted $17,223.

SITUATION iN OHIO Ese a PIPTSBURG, Pa., July 3.—The largest convention of coal miners ever held in this district began here at 10 o'clock this morning to take action on the strike cir- cular sent out by the general officers @ few days ago. Nothing had been done when the con- vention adjourned for lunch, but President Dolan stated that the committee on rego- lutions had prepared a report favoring a strike, and this would be presented this afternoon. The feeling among the dele- gates, he said, was strongly in favor of a strike, and the resolutions would probably be adopted, In case @ strike among the coal miners in the Pittsburg district is declared at the convention today, 21,000 miners will be concerned in the result. Many of these, however, have not been working regularly for spme time. In the Clearfield district, 000 miners are employed when the mines running and District President Dolan ys the whole district will also go out. The number of men in other states who are concerred in the present strike, so far as can be est’reted, are as follows: Ohio, 009 men; Illinois, 40,000 men; Indiana, 00, and in West Virginia about 22,000 men; @ total of 142,000 all told. Greensburg Miners Will Not Strike. ‘The miners employed in the vicinity of Greensburg will not join the strike, but on the contrary are preparing for a rush of work. The Greensburg, Madison, Hemp- field and Carbon coal companies employ about 1,500 men who have never been iden- tified with the miners’ union and have al- Ways been paid the highest scale of wages. The miners are mostly Americans and many of them own their own homes in that vicinity. The inauguration of the strike means steady work for them, and as much of it as they can perform. During the general strike of two years ago the miners and operators of Greensburg literally coined money, end their experience at that time is guiding the men now. Work Goes on at Dubois. PUBOIS, Pa., July 3.—The Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and Iron Company miners are working at all places today, except at Reynoldsville, where they are {dle on ac- count of holiday observance. The operators anticipate a, strike after the 4th, as the mines usually work only about half time during the summer. The mints ‘are working at thirty cenis per ton, the west rate ever paid here, and are diasattstied. It is repotted that the Northwestern Min- ing Company mines at Brockport, Cren- shaw andoShatanut will quit work today. At Tylett the men have been out for several days omaccount of a cut from forty to thirty éents.F No Wectiiration at Cambria.

Hocking Valley Operators Favor the Nine-Cent Differential. ‘COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 3.—The general Hocking Coal Company expected a rush of orders from the railroads as soon as the strike was ordered, or before, but it failed to develop, which would geem to indicate that a great deal of coal is in stock. There will be no trouble so far as the mines in this pool are concerned. Every- thing will be shut down and a friendly feeling maintained. All Hocking Valley operators would be only too glad to pay their miners 60 cents if Pittsburg miners can secure 09 cents. “This 9 cents differ- ential,” said an official of this company, “must be maintained. There are twenty- six mines in the General Hocking Coal Company. Some of them are the largest in the state. They include the Morris Coal Company, New Pittsburg, Hocking Valley, Somers, Greendale, Raybould, C. L. Poston, Lost Run, Stalter, Maple Hill and other companies. Horss, men, implements, ev- erything, is closed for good until next Jan- uary, if necessary." The strikers have the sympathies of these companies. Thinks the Strike Unwise. Frank M. Brooks is secretary of the Ohio Coal Operators’ Association. This asso- ciaticn deals directly with miners in all disputes. Mr. Brooks believes the strike is unwise on the part of the Ohio miners. In the first place, in his judgment, it will Jet West Virginia coal into Ohio and make it difficult for Ohio to regain its old trade. Mr. Brooks ‘do®s not believe the miners can win the strike for 60 cents in this state. He said the fight had better been con- fined to the Pittsburg @istrict, where the cut below the old 60-cent scale was made, and where they do not want to pay the new or proposed 68-cent scale. Mr. Breoks and all Ohio operators are firm for the 9-cent differential. 5 LIKELY TO BE EXCEPTED. Internal Revenue Deputy Collectors and the Classified Service.

Some Goestp From Baltimore Abost an ‘Incident—Letters Coming in Prem the State, There has been something of a pause in the battle royal being waged between Sena- tor Wellington of Maryland and Mr. B. H. Warner of this city over the confirmation of Mr. Warner, jr., to be consul at Leipaic, Germany. One of the Baltimore papers yesterday printed an elaborate story pur- porting to explain the connection Mr. War- ner had with the election of Mr. Welling- ton as senator from Maryland. The inti- mation was strong in this story that Mr. Warner had used money to induce Mr. Mudd to suprort Mr. Wellington, and de- tails were given of midnight meetings be- tween Warner, Mudd and Wellington. Mr. Warner when seen today by a Star reporter and his attention called to this story said that he had several times heard of rumors of the use of money at Annapolis during the last senatorial deadlock, but that he had never paid any attention to them before. He would now say, however, that it was absolutely false that he had used a cent of money for Mr. Wellington or for any one else at that time. He had spent nothing at Annapolis except his per- sonal hotel bill. Few people, said Mr. War- ner, realized how close Mr. Sydney Mudd Was to effecting a combination by which he could have been elected senator himself. Mr. Mudd postponed his senatorial aspira- tions, but it was utterly absurd to say that Mr. Mudd had done this by reason of any pecuniary transaction. Mr. Warner re- fused to make any statement regarding the inside of the senatorial fight at Annapolis in which he is supposed to have taken an active part, beyond stating in strong terms that the transactions were creditable to all concerned. A Baltimore incident. Letters and telegrams continue to come in large numbers both to Mr. Warner and to the members of the Senate committce on commerce from prominent republi democrats throughout Maryland ur, confirmation of young Warner. In connec- tion with Mr. Wellington's entanglements at this time some Baltimoreans have re- called what was looked upon as an un- fortunate incident at the banauet of the Young Men's Republican Club of Balti. more held the 14th of February. At that banquet, besides Senator Wellington, there were present Representative Bab-ock, chairman of the congressional commi‘t-e: Senator Burrows and a number of republi- can congressmen. In his speech in answ2r to one of the toasts, Mr. Wellington that time made the claim that he had been hampered by the national committer rather than helped during the past ampaign. The remarks were so Offensive, “it was said, to Mr. Babcock that he retired from the table. An Ohio congressman who was Present at the time made the remark that it was only necessary to give Wellington time and he would prove how utterly un- fit he was for the senatorship. It is whispered around V ashington today that Senator Wellingion inade some- thing of a practice of giving recemmenda. tlons for appoitmnts to applicants and then going personally to the departments and telling the chiefs that he did not wish the appointment tu be made. a TORNADO IN ML NESOTA, Houses Lifted From Foundations and Treen and Crops Destroyed.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In The Star of Thursday last “Jefferson- fan” asserts that all who intend to cele- brate the 12ist anniversary of the Declara- tion of Independence on the coming Fourth of July are a year behind the times; and he suggests that the young men’s democratic clubs of this city, who have expressed such an intention, celebrate the 12ist and 122d anniversaries together on the same day, so as to correct “the mistake,” for accordiag to his calculation this should be the 122d anniversary. The word “anniversary” comes directly from the Latin adjective “anniversarius,” literally translated “that returns with the year.” Hence the En- glish noun “anniversary” means, as de- fined in Webster's International Diction- ary, “the annual return of the day on which any notable event took place.” Therefore July 4, 1777, was unquestionably the first anniversary of the “Declaration;” July 4, 1897, will be the 12ist; and “Jeffer- sonian” is the one who is mistaken. Let us hope that the young democrats will not ac- cept “‘Jeffersonian’s” invitation to precoc- ity, but will leave the 122d anniversary to be attended to in 1898 A SCHOOL BOY. —_—.__ Fortanately Escaped. ‘There was an exciting accident near the corner of 10th and F streets about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and persons who wit- snessed tt expected to see a woman's man- gled body taken from beneath a car. in- stead of this they saw an elderly lady mak- ing @ bold effort to hide her feet with her skirts. This had the effect of making the Prospective blood curdling scene laughable. The woman was walking with an elderly man, presumably her husband.

The woman reached for the car, and in an instant she found her feet off the ground, and that she was mak- almost as many revolutions as were the car wheels.

OPERATORS WERE IN CONTROL eee Miners’ Threatened Strike Affects Coa! Carriers’ Shares. a GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Ss Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, July 3.—The heaviness in- cident to a double holiday was fully re- flected in today’s stock market. Profes- sional traders alone were active and prices consequently are not significant. London sold a few stocks to take profits and this selling was reflected by fractional declines throughout the international list. The week's deveiopments in the Levant have not been «ntirely reassuring and for- eign investors await nore satisfactory in- dications of a peaceful outlook. Governmcnt securities in London are well sustained, and it is thought that the mis- cellaneous department will improve during the coming week. Labor troubles. in the soft coal districts are the besis for practically all of the dis- trust apparent in the speculative situation. A sharp decline in Tennessee coal and iron, one of the properties concerned, was a feat- ure cf the day's trading. The hope fs still entertained that the question of mining rates will be adjusted without resort to ruinous strike methods. The financial situ- d beyond the point it can withstand a shock of the character suggested by the possibilities of the weste:n outlook. A serious setback to business improve- ment must follow any prolonged hostilitle in the coal mining region. With this factor removed the financial situation would again become responsive to improving gen- eral conditions. Railroad earnings have exceeded exp tations, in many instances, and are con- fidently relied upon to continue to show a revival in business. Crop pros ts are good, and the hot weather reported in the grain districts Is relied upon to insure abundant harvests. A fortnight hence the bulk of.the anxiety as to the crop prospects should be relieved and fairly accurate estimates of future grain tonnage become possible. The passage of the tariff bill is an event in early prospect, and some additional in- centive to confidence is expected to follow. Labor troubles may overshadow all ¢ se, but should they be prevented from bec ing prominent routine developments likely to make for good. iff changes applicahi te industry were reflecte: 2% per cent in th bacco. ‘These sh: the trading elemeut, O. are to the cigar- by a decline of price of American to- were freely sold by vut except among the professional interest little effort made to profit by the legislation contemplated. The remaining industrials reflected the narrowness of the gereral market, no at- tempt to prevent decline being mad. The weekly bank statement reflects the banking operations ineident to the semi-an- nual interest disbursements. An increase of $13,026,300 in loans is partially accounted for for this reason, but a fair proportion of the amount represents an increasing demand from commercial interests. An increase of over $6,000,000 in lawful money is reported and the deposits have gained nearly $8,000,000. The difference be- tween the changes in the latter items re- sults in a decrease in the total reserve.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 3.—Reports from central Kansas indicate that hot winds prevailing in that section are caus- ing serious damage to crops. Particularly gloomy reports come from Larned and Great Bend. In that section of the state harvest hands were driven from the field: Leing unable to cut or stack the grain, and the corn crop, it is reported, has been scorched beyond recovery. Reports from the western and central part of the state generally indicate that crops are greatly in need of rain. Hutch- inson, Sterling, Pratt, Wellington and oth- er points report hot winds, and state that rain is greatly needed, but these reports state that the corn crop is not yet damaged beyond recovery, provided rain falls within a day or so. From all over southwestern and central Kansas there is also reported a scarcity of harvest help, and it is stated that the farn.ers are losing heavily through inabill- ty to gather their wheat. At many of the railroad stations farmers awatt incoming traing, hoping to find men. At many points tramps are refusing offers at $1.50 a day, and even $2 to work in the fields. BRYAN TO STUMP 10WA.
