(Copyrighted, 1895, by the Associnted Press.) BERLIN, Jan. 19.—The news of the great political changes in Parls was recelved in Berlin with Icss amazement and disquiet than might have been expected from the peculiar relations existing between the two countrios, Bmperor Willlam, as cabled to the Associ- ated press at the time, certainly went to the French embassy on Wednesday last on foot and had a long conference with the French ambassador, M. Herbette, during which he expressed his regrets at the resignation of Casimir-Perier. But Prince Hohenlohe, at the parliamentary reception held the same evening, discussed the political situation in France with a large group of friends. The chancellor spoke freely, and in alluding to the chances of the various candidates for the presidency declared that the crisis was less grave and alarming than some of those pres- ent belleved. Publicly, by leading politiclans here, the news from France Is treated in the same manner, the only ecxception to this rule being in the case of the soclalist party, Whose members tried to create the impres- slon that a great “krach” or collapse had at least come on France. Emperor William has been busy during the past week. A scries of festivities has now fairly begun. The great coronation festival occurs tomorrow and the great reception is fixed for next Wednesday. Then there is the birthday fete of the em- peror, on Sunday, January 27, and prepara- tions for its celebration are already under way. A special program has been arranged for a gala performance at the Htoyal opera house, where, among other attractions, the second act of “Rienzi,” just as Wagner originally wrote it, will be given. Since the emperor's advent in Berlin he resides partly at the royal castle in his own suite of rooms and partly in the small but cosy Chatcau Bellevue, in the heart of the ‘Thiergarten, where his two cldest £cns, the crown prince and Eitel Friedrich, are per- manently domiciled with their teachers. Barly in the week the emperor was scen snowballing with the two boys in the front garden, « Bmperor Willlam has sent a number of his own drawings, representing warships of the latest construction, to the National library of the Reichstag, each design being marked “Wier" (Wilhelm Imperator—Rex). i KAISER ORDERS A YACHT. The emperor has just ordered from the Germania ship yards a twenty-rater racing yacht for the coming season. A number of the yacht clubs of Berlin, Hamburg, Stettin and Kiel have given similar orders, and next summer a great yachting meeting is to take place. Berlin yachts for the first time will make the trip entirely by water, which will be possible after the opening of the Baltic canal. The emperor, personally, will offer more than one prize to be conpeted for by the German yachtsmen. The demand of Emperor William that ten or a dozen fast cruisers be added to the Ger- man navy will, judging from the feeling ex- pressed by the members of the Relchstag, be adopted without much trouble. The Ham- burg Chamber of Commerce supports the #cheme in its annual report, in which it de- clares that such an increase is necessary in order to strengthen German Influence abroad and facilitate the extension of the calonies of Germany. An imperial decree has been issued im- posing the duty upon each lleutenant in the army to undertake at least once every two years a long distance ride on horseback. The emperor will give prizes to each army corps for the best achievement, Noncommisstoned officers will be allowed to take part in these races. Considerable comment has been caused by the particnlar pains which the emperor took 20 testify his friendship for Schouvaloff on the latter's leaving his post as Russian ambas. sador at Berlin to cccupy that of governor of Warsaw, His majesly gave the general @ clgar of pure gold, incrusted with dia- monds, and a fac simile of his signature in rubles. In presenting this handsome gift to the retiring ambassador, the emperor sald: I gve it to you as a friend, and not as the emperor,” On Wednesday last the emperor went alone and unannounced to the Russian embassy with the diamond decorations of the Order of Black Eagle, which he had be- Btowed upon Schouvaloft. During the dinner which Emperor William gave to the diplomatic corps on Tuesday last his majesty, who was sitting opposite Mrs. Runyon, wife of the United States am- bassador, expressed admiration for her splen- didly cut diamonds. AMERICAN CUT DIAMONDS, ““Phey are American cut diamonds, majesty,” sald Mrs. Runyon, “Yes, 1 notice,” rejoined the emperor, smil- ing, “that America is beginning to beat us In more ways than one.' . Baroness von Schroeder, nee Donahue, of Ban Francisco, gave a dinner to Ambassador and Mrs, Runyon on Wednesday last, and on the following day Mr. and Mrg. Runyon en- tertained a number of Americans at dinner, The chances of the passage of the anti- revolutionary bill have not improved. The repeal of the Jesuit exclusion law was au- thorized by a majority of the Reichstag, but the whole government party, the conserva- tives, national liberals and reichs partel, as ‘well as the radicals, opposed the motion, and it is likely that the Bundesrath will again nullity the Reichstag's action. The centrists, therefore, will refuse to support the anti revolution bill, and the Vorwaerts, socialist, already rejoices over what it declares to be the certain rejection of the measure £ ob- moxious to the soclalist party. Sophie Barrison, after appearing at the ‘Winter Garden with her four sisters for months past, eloped on Friday with Count von Bernstorenft, formerly an oflicer in the Prussian cavalry. A dispatch today an- nounces their arrival and marriage at Fleu- pon. The wavager of the Winter Garden exceedingly your and the eldest of the Barrison sisters have asked the police to assist them in recovering demages for breach of contract. The government has expelled from Silesia two Mormon agitators, and another one, William Tobler of Santa Clara, Utah, is wanted by the police for an elleged crime. The decision of the building commission of the Reichstag respecting the Inscription to be placed on the facade of the new Reichs- tag palace was announced today. Instead of being “To the German Nation,” it will be “To the German Empir MEXICO 1S PREPARED FOR WAR, Guatemala is 1n a Falr Way to Recelve Some Corporeal Correction. CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 19.—The clalms of Mexico, which are considered as her ulti- matum to Guatemala, are as follows: 1. Full satisfaction from Guatemala for the invasion of Mexican territory and the de- struction by armed Guatemalan officers of logging camps belonging to Mexican citizens and Americans. 2. Due indemnity for the damago done on sald invasion. 3. Remuneration in full to Mexico for the expense incurred by this country In sending armed forces to the Guatemalan frontfer and their maintenance at the present time there, 4. The speedy conclusion of the boundary survey between Mexico and Guatemala, as provided for in the treaty of 1882, Only an extract of the reply of Guatemala has been received from Don Jose F. Codoy, Mexican minister to Guatemala, but the offi- cial document will arrive, according to ex- pectation, about the 25th of this month. The telegraphic resume received shows that Gua- temala s still dodging the general question by holding that the first three demands for indemnity to Mexico are not just, on account of tho territory alleged to have been invaded belng property belonging to Guatemala. It is claimed here that this is in spite of the fact that owing to the trealy of 1882 the disputed land was to be considered as Mexican until the permanent survey commission had for- mally passed on the matter, which survey hus never been ‘completed. The stand of the Mexican government is still firm. It is not thought, however, that any hostile demon- stration will be considered by Mexico until the original document has been received from Guatemala and given complete and exhaust- ive consideration by the president and cabi- net. The excitement in this city is at a higher pitch than ever, and since the question has been pending war talk is heard on every side. The high feeling not only premeates military and civil circles at the seat of gov- ernment but has diffued itself through the whole nation, and the Department of War is daily receiving proffers of state troops, civil volunteers and money and munitions appropriations. Newspaper correspondents at this capital are holding themselves in readi- ness to hasten to the southern frontier at an hour's notice and unusual activity is scen in many quarters in anticipation of what the next day may develop. The greater part of the Guatemalan frontier is occupled within communicating distance with Mexican troops and artillery, while Guatemala has taken the same steps in the mobilization of its troops on the opposite side of the delimitation be- tween the two republics, It is feared a clash of arms may be precipitated at almost any time by an ill-advised action on the part of stragglers connected with the two forces of troops, and this is being guarded against on the part of Mexico in a very rigid surveill- ance kept over every point possible, BISMAROK IS TRIUMPHANT, Resignation of German Minlsters to Make Room for fls Friends, LONDON, Jan. 19.—A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Berlin says that since the return of Prince Hohenlohe from Friedrichsruh to Berlin it has been an open secret that the imperial secretary for for- elgn affairs, Von Bieberstein, Von Boet- ticher, the Imperial secretary for the in- terior, and perhaps, the minister of com- merce for Prussia, will shortly retire. Von Radowitz, the present ambassador at Madrid, will succeed Bieberstein and another protege of Prince Bismarck will succeed either Boet- ticher or Berlipps. Count Herbert Bismarck is said to be certain of succeeding Count Von Hatzfeldt-Wildenberg as German am- bassador at London, It is believed that Hatzfeldt-Wildenberg will succeed Von Wer- der as German amboszador at St. Peters- burg. Bismarck, against great odds, has van- quished the court party, annihilated General Von Caprivi and is now about to wipe out the ministers who are objectionable to him. COLON COMPARATIVELY CALM, Armed Guards Partially Successtul In Maln- taining Qulet in the City. (Copyrighted 1895 by Press Publishing Company.)

More canal employes have arrived from Paris. Sultan Shows Favor to Americans. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 19.—The sultan has issued an irade exempting the young ladies of the American college at Scutari from all taxes forever. The American lega- tion has obtained this concession after threz years of insistance. The United States min- ister, Mr, Terrell, has also obtained the grand vizier's order that all letters from Amerlean citizens in Asla Minor are to be transmitted without interference. Crulser Blenhe:nn Home Agaln. PORTSMOUTH, Eng,.Jan. 19.—The Brit- ish crulser Blenheim has arrived here from Hallfax, to which port she conveyed the re- mains of the late Sir John Thompson, pre- mier of Canada. The warship encountered heavy gales while on her way across the Atlantic but sustained no damage, Faure Invites Bourgeios to e Premler.

THREE DAYS' SATURNALIA OF SLAUGHTER Killing Continued Till Streets Were Choked and Houses Jammed With Bodios of nese Cruelly Murdered by Sol- diers and Camp Followers. (Copyrighted 1895 by Press Publishing Company.) LONDON, Jan. 19.—(New York World Cable—Special Telegram.)—If any further cor- roboration were needed of Mr. Creelman's dispatches to the World recounting the Jap- anese barbarities at Port Arthur it is given by Mr. Frederick Villiers, the assistant cor- respondent of the Graphic. The current issue of Black and White, published by the same company, has a full page gruesome picture sketched by him on the spot, in which the terrible story is fully delineated. He sends a letter also, in which he says, after describ- ing the fall of the place: “So maddened were the soldiers at this ghastly sight that they commenced firing on every living soul they came across, shooting down unoffending citizens standing at their doors. Many of the inhabitants sought safety in numerous junks in the harbor, but in put- ting out to sea the torpedo boats of the Japanese navy opened fire and sunk them. Those who remained in town did so under the impression that they would be as well treated as their fellow citizens of Kinchow. ““The Lu'chery cont'nued for three days, till only about twenty-five Chinamen were left to assist the Japanese in burying the dead. old men and young boys suffered alike. There was no mercy shown. The bodies lay heaped up every few yards. Houses were broken into and the cowering creatures were mur- dered in cold blood. Not a shot was fired on the Japanese in the streets. It was an un- provoked slaughter. Not the slightest resist- ance was made. The poor creatures fell like sheep before the stroke of the butchers. The whole town was sacked and unspeakable hor- rors were committed by the coolies and camp followers, drunk with the fiery spirits found in the liquor shops of the place.” LL HUNG CHANG'S SOLUIERS FIGHT. Japaneso Find One Gurrison thut Makes a Brave Reslstance. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—Recent Japanese mail advices received here give a description of the battle between the Japanese and Chi- nese at Sal Kaho,.in which the Chinese are sald to have fought with more courage and bravery than at any time during the course of the war. The article describing the battle says: “Fifteen thousand well trained and gallant soldiers belonging to Li Hung Chang were scattered along the Russo-Chinese fron- tier on the bank of the Amoo river. When the fall of Kiuren-Jo and Howo-Jo into the hands of the first army corps was reported to the Peking government, Li Hung Chang ordered these soldiers to proceed against the invading army. This order was Intended to be kept a secret, but news of the movement reached Japanese headquarters and the com- mander of the first army corps was notified of the fact. A scouting party commanded by Major General Tachimi was thereupon ordered to attack them while on the march. On the 30th ult. they were encountered at Saiko, where a desperate battle ensued. General Tachimi’s detachment withstood them with great difficulty and only after very hard fighting were they able to overcome the enemy. Newly invented revolving guns with 300 chambers or barrels, so arranged as to revolve on an axis and be diecharged In succession by the same lock, are being manufactured at the Toklo arsenal. On thelr trial they proved entirely satisfactory. Their shells reach to a great distance, with a powerful result, and they are easily handled by one man, China, according to one of the papers, is now seeking to purchase war vessels from Chill and two Americans at Hong Kong have entered into a secret contract with China and have left for San Franclsco with that object in view, The Corean government has Issued regulations protecting Chinese residents in the kingdom. Chinese are prohibited to re- side In the Interior, being limited to live in four places—Seoul, Chemulpo, Fusan and Genzan. On their arrival they must apply for registration with the local officers, In case of offense they are to be punished under Corean law. Jo-Kohan, one of the Corean refugees, who returned from America some weeks ago, has been appointed minister of justice of the new government, established at the suggestion of Count Inouye. Four French and one Russian war veesels were In Nagasaki harbor on D cember 25. The United States ship Yorl town, the British cruiser Severn and the Rus- sian eorvette Zabakia had been there a few days previously. Omclul Account of the Battle, HIROSCHIMA, Jan. 19.—It is officially an- nounced that on the morning of January 17 15,000 Chinese troops from Lao Vang en- countered the Japanes to the northwest of Hai Chel. The Chinese were repulsed by sundown. Only one Japanese soldier was killed and forty were wounded Chinese Lost Nine flundred Men, LONDON, Jan. 19.—A dispatch from Hai Ching, dated Thursday, says that in the fight- ing which occurred in the vicinity of New Chwang on Wednesday last the Chinese were defeated by a loss of 900. The Japauese loss was fifty, Warkingmen Demand Work or Bread. MONTREAL, Jan. 19.—A couple of work- men visited the city ball clamaring for work or bread. The crowd gradually grew so large that it obstructed the car tracks, and when ordered away by the police refused to move. The police then charged them and a short and fierce fight followed. Ambassador Schouvaloft's Farewell, BERLIN, Jan. 19—Count Von Schouvalofr, retiring Russian ambassador, and Countess Von Schouvaloff have left Berlin. There was a brilliant military and diplomatic assem- blage at the rallway station to bid them farewell, Emperor William conducted the countess to the platform Amd kissed her hapd when he bade her farewell. | He then warmly embraced the count. Hoth were visibly affected, GREEKS S8AVE MANY ARMENIANS, Attacking Cireassions Pat to Flight Christians from Greece, BOSTON, Jan. 19.—A letter from a reliable €ource in Armenia recelved by an Armenian citizen here contains the following state- ments, which are corrcborated by other let ters and advices recelved by Greeks In this city whose families reside in the district re- ferred to. Zekl Pasha has arrived at Harplot with a large force and announces his deter- mination to collect from the Christians of the province the taxes for three years. Business transactions are entirely suspended, all stores and shops being closed for thirteen days The Christian population i In a state of great excitement and an outbreak is feared at any moment. The Inhabitants of the village of Farasha, situated on the river of Zahanta, Cicilla, were attacked by a band of Circas- slans and the slaughter of Armenians was begun when the Greeks of the neighboring village of Karkaeny hastened to their assist- ance. Some 200 children were saved from the massacre and the Circassians were put to flight. Turkish troops numbering 300 are sta- tioned at all the principal passes. The whole region is in a state of terror.” Another letter received here states that Kriker Manasian, a naturalized American citi- zen engaged in business in New York, re- cently visited Tokat, his native city in Ar- menia, intending: to arrange to bring his family to this country. The night he arrived at homo the house was surrounded by Turk- ish soldiers, who dragged him from the house almost naked and tied bim up in jail with two murderers. He was kept there for two days and then taken to Sassoun in irons, be- ing compelled to walk most of the way, while he was lashed several times, From Sassoun he was taken to Constantinople on a Turkish steamer. Although carefully guarded on the steamer, he managed to communicate with some Americans, who appealed to the Ameri- can legation and on the Interference of the legation he was released. On being released he demanded £10 in Turkish money which had been taken from him and redress for the punishment he had suffered. The Turkish government investigated, but the authorities | at Tokat denied that they had taken the prisoner’s money. Manasian etates that when he was arrested he informed his captors that he was an American eitizen and was told that that was the reason he was imprisoned. He complained to the American minister and Consul Jewell investigated and found the facts substantially as reported by Manasian The later is now on his way to this country and on his arrival will at ohee visit Washing- ton and lay before the government evidence in support of his statement. by HEADED FOR HAWAIL Nanaimo's Defaulting Poles'dudge Starts in a Sall Bowt, NANAIMO, B. C., Jan, 19.—The sensational disappearance of Police Magistrate Planta, as the outcome of the royal, commissioner in- | vestigation, Is no longer ¢ mystery. It has been learned that he'left town yesterday afternoon with a small sailboat with his youngest son. The boat was seen later in the day heading for the American side by a passenger steamer which arrived here this evening, Planta’s filght was well timed, A hurried investigation of his affairs shows that for years he has been in the habit of vsing public money, as well as property of estates, for his own use. It is estimated that he has gotten away with a large sum of money. Plenta came to this province over twenty years ago, and has ever since been prominently connccted with public affairs of the country. He was looked upon as a thor- oughly good citizen, and for years had prac- tically been a law unto himself. Planta is supposed to be making for San Francisco, whence he can proceed to Mawail. The in- quiry into the city’s finances Is postponed until the new council shall have taken office. Matabele War Was a Necessity, LONDON, Jan. 19.—At the meeting of the British South Africa company Hon. Cecil Rhodes, the premier of Cape Colony, defended the recent war in Matabeleland as having been a necessity, but expressed the hope that there would be no more wars, especially as there were no more hostile people to fight. Mr. Rhodes advocated a policy for Africa of Insisting upon preferential duties for English goods. The trade was without the outside world and it was the duty of English- men to_see that their goods were not cut off from the markets of the world, Found Rich Treasure in a Cave, SAN LUIS POTOSI, Mex., Jan. 19.—Two children playing east of lere discovered a cavern. Several men explored the cave, revealing an iron chest filled with Spanish gold coin amounting ¢ between $250,000 and $300,000. It is believed that the money was placed in the cave by Franciscan monks. —— FATHER AND SON BOTH DEAD. Funeral of the Son Postponed Awaiting the Father's Domisy. CHICAGO, Jan. 19.—A double funeral will take place tomorrow, father and son being buried together. Last evening Rich- ard Street died at his residence, 734 West Adams street, closely following the demise of his son, George *Washington Street, The death of the father was the result of exhaustion from & large carbuncle which gathered on the back of his neck shortly after Christmas, and was, no doubt, superinduced by the unex d news of his son's death, vho was con- nected in a high positibn with the United States navy, was in Sam Francisco inspect- Ing a piece of naval egmstruction for the government.

LONDON, Jan. 19.—(New York World Ca- ble—Special Telegram.)—The really extraor- dinary placidity with which France accepts the election of Felix Faure to the presi- dency is obviously a vast relief to Europe. The papers of London, Berlin, Vienna, St. Petersburg and Paris, except the guitersnipe publications of the socialists and anarchists, almost unanimously declare it a proof of the strength of the republic. There is no doubt that all Europe feared that there would be barricades in Paris before the crisis should be ended. This fear certainly was shared by a large proportion of the pop- ulation of Paris until midnight Thursday. But yesterday in Parls was repeated the story of perfect quiet and acceptance of the situation which 1 cabled on Friday morning. Even the selection of M. Bourgeois for premier caused no excitement. The fact s that the election of Faure was the happlest result possible of the crisis. The clection of M. Challemel Lacour, who is even more ex- tremo in his way than M. Brisson is in his, would have been the flaunting of a red rag to the bull of radical republicanism. The election of M. Brisson, although he is, T be- lieve, a moderate and estimable man, would have been regarded as a triumph of purely soclalistic principle. JUST WHAT FRANCE NEEDS. The new president is accept:d as a strong but temperate politician, and a thorough man of affairs. France bids fair to find in him an ideal chief executive for so mercurial and nervous a people. But it does not ap- pear that he is a man of a really large fu- ture. He is fond of sports, and hires an ex- tensive shooting tract on the Danube. He speaks English very well, having spent two years in' England. “He wears a_monggle and ‘Hght ‘overgaiters, «theke Enghsh' - actérfstics being about the worst charge that is made against him in the revolutionary organs this morning. The duke of Orleans made himself very ridiculous in marching to Dover and then 50 quickly marching back again. It Is gravely stated that he took his chef with him to the hotel theré. The publication of the fact that many English officers of the garri- son left their cards for him Is bitterly com- mented on by the French press, and has added to the hatred of England, which is rapidly brewing a frantic mania across the channel, supplementing and crowding out the old hatred of Germany. SHE PICKED POOR HORSES. A singular case of some collateral interest to New York has been before a London court this week. It may be remembered that Miss Lane Fox was engaged to marry young Robert Peel, who recently made an attempt to marry Millionaire Sandford’s granddaugh- ter, but broke it off on account of his rela- tions with Langtry. She afterward married Captain Reginald Fitzwilliam, who has just been sued for certain of her prenuptial debts. It appears she incurred liabilities to the amount of $50,000, largely, it was admitted, on the turf, When the first storles were told of May Yohe's marriage to Lord Francis Hope, who is bankrupt, but is heir presumptive to the dukedom of Newcastle, it was maintained by his family that the American actress already had a husband living in America. If this was true the obstruction doubtless was re- moved before the actual ceremony last No- vember. She has been constant since then to hér professional duties at the Avenue theater, her engagement there terminating only tonight. The newly married pair pro- pose spending the belated legal honeymoon on the continent. . TORIES ALREADY IN POWER. In English politics the tories seem 80 con- fident of winning the coming election that their leaders are parcclling out the spoils already, and an interesting story comes to me that Lord Salisbury has had to intervene in a bitter contest between Mr, Chamberlain and Mr. Goschen as to who shall be chan- cellor of the excheger. The place has been promised the Birmingham gentleman, and Mr. Goschen is to go to the House of Lords.

South Dakota Ensily Recovering from De- faulter Taylor's Blow. FIERRE, S. D. Jan. 19.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—The state finances are straightening out comfortably. The officials already see their way clear to pay all obligations and to maintain, if desirable, all tho state institu- tions, political, penal, charitable and edu- cational, in good running order. Whether for effect on the legislature or from pa- triotic motives, the railroads have come to the rescue of the state in a most gratifying manner. The railroads pay about 9 per cent of the total tax for state purposes, or a total of $40,000. These taxes are not due until March, but recognizing that the state is somewhat hard pressed for money on ac- count of the great defalcation, the roads havo voluntarily offefed t pay at once. The total tax paid by them in the state for all purposes is about $250,000. Of this the Milwaukee pays a trifle short of $100,000 and the Northwestern about the same. The state manager of the Milwaukee has jus arrived here and has notified the officis that the road would honor the drafts of the county treasurers as soon as presented, The Northwestern has also wired that it has already began to pay its taxes due two months hence, and that as fast as its com- missioners can travel through the state all will be paid. This will put Into the state treasury within the next month at least 20,000, ? It is already certain that the state will have from this time out all the money it needs, A. Riegel of Huron, representing the Brown-Richards company, is here, and offers to take $100,000 of the state warrants at par for whatever time the state may des- » mall and wire from many sources have come In during the past few days, and the state treasurer will have no difficulty whatever in floating all the warrants he needs to tide matters over until the new tax can be levied in August. The idea that the state was bankrupt Is absurd when It is known that the public debt is only $1,000,000, While the assessed valuation is $128,000,000. INVESTIGATING THE STEAL. The investigating committee to inquire into the defalcation of ex-Treasurer Taylor begun its work today by holding two long sessions. The mestings of the commission were absolutely secret. Doors were locked and windows closed tight. It is stated, how- ever, that a stenographer took full notes, and that in the course of time all will be pub- lished. Ex-Governor Mellette was the only witness. He related his relations with Taylor and told of the various times he had seen him within the past two months, as has already been stated. He also told of the meeting of the bondsmen in Chicago and of the statement to them of Lawyer Tenney as to the sum Taylor had with him and of his threats of suicide, and finally of the lawyer's advice to flee, which was accepted. This matter has already been printed. Tt is expected that before he leaves the witness stand Mellette will tell some Interesting things denoting the manner of Taylor's es- cape and his present probable whereabouts, Attorney General Crawford today found fifteen more quarter sections of land which had been transferred by Taylor to Wells of Chi- cago, and placed attachments on them. He believes there is no doubt that the state can recover all of this on the ground that no con- sideration was given. The theory that the state would compro- mise with Taylor's bondsmen by releasing them from prosecution and remitting the penalty from absconding his bond Is ex- ploded by the discovery of the constitutional provision prohibiting the state from releasing any liability to RIVAL TO THE SUGAR TRUST, Steps Taken to Build a Large Refinery at Camden, N, J.

They have been scouring the country, where the missing man’s body 1: supposed to be, looking for some trace of him, and from the reports tonight it seems as if theln labors would be rewarded. ‘ SENSATION AT SI0UX FALLS.
