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-premler's recovery abandoned last evening, when it was noticed that meningitls had supervened and after the sufferer did not recognize any one. A catafalque Is being prepared upon which the remains will lle in The amputated hands of the murdered man have been pre- served in alcokol. The interment will take place on Saturday. The government has not yet proposed to give the remains of Stam- buloft a state funeral. The widow of the deceased statesman recelved many telegraphic messages of condolence from high personages in different parts of Europe Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales have telegraphed their sympathies to Mme. Stambuloff. The government has offered 10,- 000 francs for the capture of the murderers was state LONDON, July 18.—The Times will say tomorrow: Stambuloff was one of the bril- llaat statesmen produced in the Balkans in the last century. With little of the veneer of clvilization, with little distinction or re- finement, he concealed beneath a rough ex- terfor a natu al _tenderness and delicacy of feeling which only those who knew him in timately could appreciate. There was no humbug or affectation about him. He was a man, a great man. Whatever his defects may have been, there was never a doubt of his patriotism and devotion to his country. The Berlin correspondent of the Times says: “Reports were circulated today that Prince Ferdinand had abdicated the rulership of Bulgaria, 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 faformed on good authority that the murder of Stambuloff will probably not lead to the intervention of the powers. It is believed that Russian influence will begin to make increasing way in Bulgaria.” The Vossische Zeitung says that curses everlasting shame will cling to the Bul- garian government, which certainly had a share in the assaséination, and which knew of the murderous plots, yet did nothing to hinder the notorious murderers from moving freely about Sofia. “If any ordinary citi- zen,” the newspaper goes on to say, “had been ineriminated Prince Ferdinand has been he would have been arrested. Prince Ferdinand has forfeited the right to wear a Buropean crown. He must fall. The National Zeitung says: “‘The name of Bulgaria will henceforth be expressive only of the most contemptible gratitude and the most pitiful depravity. This monstrosity called a state cannot live.” The Standard’s Berlin correspondent com- ments as follows on the above: ‘““These two extracts give an idea of the tone of press comments. In diplomatic and official circles, however, calmer counsel prevails.” A Sofia dispatch to the Standard says “Public_opinion points to Haloff, Nikola, Tufektcheffl and Ivanoff as the authors of the crime. I am informed that the govern- and ment has decided to rearrest Tufektcheff, who was liberated on Tuesday." CARLSBAD, July 18.—When informed of the death of M. Stambuloff Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria telegraphed to the Bulgarian tatesman's widow: ““Filled with indignation and sorrow, and only desirous in the presence of this terrible event of remembering the 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.” GENEEAL CAMPOS DISPLAYS VALOR With & Sm: Force He Engages Ten Times His Number.

W. M. Willlams and others, without ailuding tc some now living under whose faithful mn: trations in the gospel the denomination moved steadily forward “I welcome you again because of the oc casion which has brought you here—the fifth International convention of the Baptist Young People’s Union of America.

He came not to educate men or even to make them better. He came to ‘seck and save that which was lost.' Christ's work as a teacher is only incidental to His work as a savior. It is as a savior He stirs our hearts and wins our love. He would never have come to earth merely to teach or improve char- acter. Missions like these would never have led Him to undergo the suffering and death through which He passed. His heart was moved with pity when He saw souls in dan- ger of an eternal hell “The bible has no method about place, It says, by teaching and example, anywhere.

The latter says his brother has valuable landed interests in Mexico just south of Nogales and for years past certain Mexi cans have undertaken to get cont'ol of this would accept , 84 land. It Is possible, he thinks, that his brother was not implicated in the robbery but that his name was conveniently coupled by influential Mexicans to get him out of the way.

Early yesterday morning he commenced his ware like preparations and marched to the Webster Street depot at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoom thead of an express wagon loaded with rifles and other munitions of war. It was in the selection of arms for his followers that General Peebles displayed the metal of which heroes are made. His first call was at a Farnam street gun store, and his first 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 rismen, and totally inadequate for the serious business that he had in hand. Under the impression that he could find big= ger guns in a bigger house, General Peebles deployed his forces and marched upon the wholesale hardware district. He told a story of war and bloodshed down at "Lee-Clarke-Andreesen’s that nearly brought from the thoroughly frightened Billy Glass a promise to rustle up the guns it Gen= eral Peebles would only exempt him from any draft that he might make for men for the coming contest. That was a_strategic move on the part of the general. He really had no idea of impressing Omaha men into the serve ice. He had the Pender Home guards, and with them properly armed there was no quess tion In his mind of the speely annihilation of the op osiug army of Indians and Indian agents. AN IDEA CONCERNING GUNS. The work of seleriig and sceuring arms for the men consumed the entira day. Gena eral Peebles at first wunted nothing smaller than howitzers, but as the supply of that brand of guns was short he was finally com= 1 to take less pretentious weapons and an order that exhausted the supply of in the Omaha stores. At 3 o'clock he had secured 100 rifles, 100 shotguns and 5,000 rounds of ammunition. As much of th's stock as could be got ready for immediate shipment was hurriedly packed and General Peebles marched in single file to the Webster street depot to superintend the forwarding of the purchases. The indispensible glitter was in the general's eye as he watched the first_express wagon unloaded. He carsfully checked off the cofin-like boxes that were filled with rifies and snuffed the battle from afar. When the boxes of cartridges and kegs of powder were rolled in he could hardly restrain his impulse to shoot some one right on the spot. Then the second wagon was. driven up and the driver rollcd out a few packages of civilian merchandise and the general's fac took on a pained expression which was turned to disgust when the bal= ance of the load proved to be empty milkc cans, returning to some oreamery up the line. The sccond installment of guns had not been collicted in time for the shipment and will be sent to the scene of carnage on the first train today if the line of coma munication remains open as far as Peader. Contrary to his well known custom General Peebles submitted to a brief interview just as he was boarding the train for the scene of action. “You newspaper fello sald the general, “sem to look upon this matter as a huge joke, but I want to assure you that It is no laughing matter. What do we propose to do? Simply to protect our rights, We are peace= able citizens and hope to avoid bloodshed, but if Captain Beck ignores the restraining order of Judge Norris we will protect our rights by force of arms, if necessary. We don't want to resort to such measures, but the ecitizens of 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 the hands of men who will be sworn in as daputic under Sherifft Mullen and only submission to the order of Judge Norris will prevent themy from being used.” General Peebles allowed about 100 plain civilians to ride on the same train with hinf to Pender.

On recelving word that District Judge Norris of Nebraska had issued an injunction restraining him from continuing to evict settlers on the reservas, tion, and that the settlers were arming ta resist him in case he violates the injunction, the captain wired the authorities at Washe ington for instructio and has been here all day awaiting an answer, “I shall start for the seat of war as soomy as 1 get a reply,” he sald, “and whateves orders 1 receive 1 shall execute. The gove ernment has always upheld me thus far, and I think it will do so now.

If the settlers are evicted the notes will be worthless, and I have no doubt that t banks are at the bottom of the present wubles. They wish to delay the evictions until these notes are paid. The settlers themselves are anxious to escape payment and are really on my side.” Captain Beclk received instructions tonight to place the case in the hands of United States Attors any cost company sold this ney Sawyer of the Nebriska district and be governed by his advice.
