NEw Yorxk, March 9.—The cable chess match between the Manhattan Chess Club of thiscity and the British Chess Club re- sulted in a draw. When the play ceased at 6:30 o’clock one game was finished, its result being a draw, and the other games were left in such a doubtful state when play was stopped that a decision was con- sidered impossible.

RIVER PIRATES ARE RI CARGO OF TH STEA CixcrxyaTr, March 9.—This has been a day a suspense among the relatives and friends of the victims of the Longfellow wreck. Searching parties have gone down the river looking for traces of the missing. The officers of the packet company were | rewarded for their zealousness by finding | the body of the v, n clerk of the Long- fellow, Captain J. L. Carter, in the wreck | that had been caught and tied to the shore near Riverside. The aged clerk was pinned to the boiler by a portion of the cabin deck which had fallen on him. His body was not mutilated. When the river fails, as it will do doubt- less by Monday, a more extended search can be made in that part of the wreck, where it is supposed the bodies of Mr. Aldridge and of the bartender, Chauvet, may be found.

They advertised in daily papers in Pittsburg, Philadelphia and other cities under the name of L. C n Villard, a ing for laborers to go to California to work in the gold mines, where they said they would be paid good wages. Applicants were requested to send twenty cents in sil- ver or stamps to boy Braddock. The postmaster became suspicious at the immense number of letters that were coming for “Mr. Villard,” and reported to Constable Lutz, who made the arrests to- day when the men come to take their let- ters away with a gripsack. The case has been turned over to the postoffice authori- ties. N MRS, DR. RYER TO MARRY. She Will Wed Congressman Joy of Mis- souri This Fall.

TAYLOR'S SHORTAGE, South Dakota’s State Treasurer’s Steal Investigated. THE REPORT COMPLETE. His Sureties Compounded a Felony After the Exposure Became Public. THEY WILL BE PROSECUTED. Steps Have Been Taken to Recover Some of the Thousands of Dollars Taken. March 9.—The Jour- nal’s Pierre (S.Dak.) special says: The legislative committee investigating the Taylor defalcation made its report just before adjournment. Proceedings were in secret, and the report is now made public for the first time. The committee declared from the evi- dence before it that it is shown a consp acy existed between the sureties of Taylor and the defaulter to “hold up” the State and compel a settlement. It We do not find that there was any collusion among the sureties or any other persons with him to defraud the State prior to the time when it became apparent to John T. McChes- ney of New York, one of the bondsmen, that lor would not be able to make his settlement I the State. But we do find evidence strongly tending to show that in the latter part of December, 1594, and after McChesney discovered that Taylor could not raise money enough to make hi tlement, McChesney, together with Ta Srovx Crry, To K. Tenny and C. H. Wells and C.T. acting as agent at Pierre, entered in a scheme to gather up all the funds held by Taylor, amounting to over 200,000, and the real and personal property ond the reach of the State, for the purpose mpelling the State to agree not to prose- cute Taylor criminally, or, in other words, to compound a felony on condition that property and money to the amount of $100,- 000 should be delivered up and paid over to the State, thus T ng the sureties by paying their liabilities with the funds stolen from the State. The evidence showed they had at- tempted to carry out the scheme with fraudu- lent intent to deiraud the State. Tenny and Wells are the Chicago law- vers of vlor and McChesney. The com- mittee finds that the total amount stolen by Taylor was $344, 10. As to where the money went the evidence shows among other things “that he loaned ex-Governor Mellette moneys amounting to $29,000 and that be loaned Judge Kellam $4000 and purchased a negotiable mnote for $3000 given by United States Senator Pettigrew, which was repaid to C. T. McCoy, Taylor’ agent, on or about the 7th of January, 1895. ©It is further found that during the month of December last he transferred from fifteen banks where he deposited public funds about $200,000 to himself and for his benefit to New York and Chicago; that he appropriated to his own use prior to December last $145,800.” The evidence shows no collusion on the part of any State officer with the default- ing Tr rer. There is, however, testi- mony showing gross negligence, to say the least, on the part of Thomas H. Ruth, ex- Commissioner of School and Public Lands. The report states that action to recover has been begun in thirty different counties and that services have been different defendants in the case; that suits have also been instituted against McChes- ney in New York and William Taylor, father of the defaulter, in Indiana. WHEAT FOR '"ARMERS. The-Chicago Board of Trade Looking Out Jor the Sufferers. Cnicaco, March 9.—For the relief of Ne- braska and Kansas-farmers $12,000 has already been subscribed on the Board of Trade. The committee, recognizing the urgency of the situation, have arranged to ship a carload of wheat next week to each of the counties named below. They are only waiting to hear from the relief com- mittees of those counties, who are to for- ward shipping directions. The Burlington and Rock Island railroads have agreed to carry the grain free to points along their lines. Counties to which wheat will be sent are: Perkins, Buffalo, Grand Island, Harlan, Merrick, Nance, Burwell, Greeley, Sher- man, Frontier, Elwood, Furth, Lincoln, Call Garfield, Kearney, Custer, Hitch- coc ayes, Red Willow, Howard, Chase and Cheyenne. e ELECTRICAL BRIDGE. Cleveland, Olio, to Have One of Latest Engineering Improvements. Crevenasp, Ohio, March 9.—A bridge which is being built to span the Cuyahoga River at Columbus street, in this city, will be unlike anything of the kind ever con- structed in this country. It is to be operated by electricity and compressed air. It will have a double swing, the halves meeting at a common center and locking. The span will be 115 feet long. The material will be steel throughout and the electric current which will operate the dynamos will be obtained from street- railway wires. The new bridge will swing in twenty-five seconds. The safety gate, signals, drops and auxiliary machinery will be operated by compressed air from the bridge house, while the bridge proper will be propelled by electricity. ——— TO MAKE CHEAP GAS. AN the For Seven Cents as Much Light as Wanted May Be Had. New York, March 9.—Announcement is made of a remarkable discovery of a means of producing illuminating gas at a cost of 7 cents for the same amount of light as is furnished by ordinary gas at $1 25. Fac- tories are already completed and the gas will be offered for general use in a short time. Tt is now used in a house in this city and has been found in every way practi- cable. The new illuminant is acetylene, the low- est gas in the series of hydro-carbons, which are the foundation of organic chem- istry and enter into the composition of many of the most important products of coal tar and petroleum. It is known to chemists as and is practically pure carbon paper. Elg g Bishop Thomas Dead. Savuva, Kans., March 9.—Bishop Thomas died at 9:25 to-night. During the day he rallied and recognized his friends and strong hopes were entertained that he wauld recover, but at 8 o’clock he had a jTelapse, and from that time on he grew i weaker until life became extinct. The Right Rev. Elisha Smith Thomas, S.T.D., Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Kansas, was born March 2, 1834, He grad- uated from Yale in 1858 and at Berkeley Divinity School, Middleton, in 1861. At Yale he was a classmate of Chauncey M. Depew. He was ordained deacon in June, 1861, and priest soon afterward. On the death of Bishop Vail in 1889 he became Bishop of Kansas, e R THE INSURANCE MONOPOLY. Final Session of Western Underwriters Adjourned in St. Louis. St. Louts, Mo., March 9.—The Western Union of Insurance Underwriters held its final session to-day and adjourned to meet at Niagara Falls in September next. While nothing of a positive "character can be learned it is stated that there had been a bitter fight at every session of the union, a fight which has not yet seen its end. The trouble grew out of the question of commissions. The mode of procedure prior to March, 1894, was for local agents to make their own terms with the com- panies they represented as to commis- sions. Rates were the same, but the com- missions varied according to the influence and business capacity of individual agents. About that time the Western Union passed a rule that thereafter commi should not be paid in excess of cent. St. Louis agents have failed to live up to it. veral local agents represent both union and non-union companies, and the Western Union, it is said, is now trying to force local agents either to conform to the rules of practice in regard to the 15-per cent commission or to give up their non- union companies, the real object of the resolution being to force the outside com- panies into the union. MARTIAL LAW IN CUBA. Passengérs From Nassau Report Excite- ment Running High. NEw York, March 9.—Passengers by the Ward liner Santiago, which arrived to-day from Nassau, report that much excitement prevailed at Santiago de Cuba when the steamer was there. A large body of troops patrol the streets. Numerous arrests had been made and strangers were not allowed on the streets after dark. The city was under martial law. TRAIN - WRECKERS FOLLED. A WOMAN TELEGRAPH OPERATOR’S QuIcCKk WIT PREVENTED A CRIME. SHE WARNED THE NORTHERN Pa- CIFIC OFFICIALS OF TRAMPS’ INTENTIONS. Dururs, Minn., March 9.—Some of the passengers who were on the Northern Pa- citictrain from the west this morning were decidedly nervous until they were some distance this side of Kimberly. Last night about 11 o’clock Miss Reich- art, the night operator at Kimberly, twelve miles this side of Aitkin, heard three rough-looking men planning to wreck the passenger train at a bridge near Kimberly. She at once wired the dispatchers at Brain- erd, and the men heard the instrument working and jumped at the conclusion that she was warning the railroad people. They rushed for the door of the office and tried to break it in, but were met by the plucky woman, who fired four shots through the door. The men took to their heels. The railroad officials sent out word for the section men te patrol the track for sev- eral miles, and the train was run very cau- tiously through that part of the country, but no trouble was experienced. Three men were run out of Aitkin yesterday, and it is believed they planned the wreck. - MURDERED THE CHILDRE. [ ] A Texas Mother Poisoned Her Babes In Order to Elope. Paris (Tex.), March 9.—A shocking double child murder was committed three miles southwest of Roxton fifteen miles southwest of here. Last night Mrs. Mollie Carruthers, the wife of William Carruthers a respectable well-to-do farmer, went to her room and gave her three children large quantities of morphine. Physicians were summoned but could do nothing for the two youngest, one 11 and the other 4 years old and at 3 o’clock both were dead. The oldest, a girl of 14 is now out of danger. An investigation was begun and in a few hours Mrs. Carruthers and Jim Strange were arrested. They were brought here and lodged in jail. After her arrest Mrs. Carruthers admitted she had given the children morphine for the purpose of kill- ing them. She said itwas done to get them out of trouble and said she intended to follow. It was learned later, however, that the woman and Strange had planned to destroy the children and then leave the country. — Gilori and Fitzsimmons Settle. Barrivore, March 9.—At the close of the performance to-night the legal difficulties that have existed for some time between Captain Glori and Bob Fitzsimmons were financially adjusted. Under the terms of the settlement Glori sold out to Fitzsim- mons all interest in the partnership here- tofore existing between them and the stake money on the Corbett fight now posted in New York. Glorn had obtained a receiver for the show in Baltimore, and the settlement to-night ends this and all other litigation between them. ARERGECET S Smallpox in Massachusetts. NDOVER, Mass., March 9.—Considerable excitement was caused here to-day by the announcement that J. Duke Smith, a Yale student who came home Thursday, was mildly afflicted with smallpox. It is stated Smith stayed over night in the room of a friend where a student had been ill. As so0on as he discovered it Smith notified the college authorities and was vaccinated.

France Is Figuring Upon the Submerged ‘Telegraph Line to the Islands. THE JAPANESE SAY NOTHING. The Legation Secretary Does Not Believe His Countrymen Are Interested. WasniNeroy, Mareh 9.—The Hawaiian Minister to the United States, Minister Thurston, said to-day he was cognizant in a general way only of efforts on the part of private individuals to establish a cable between the United States and Hawaii. “The Hawaiian Government would look with favor upon this or any other proposi- tion for cable communication with the world,” said Mr. Thurston. “What we want first is a cable, preferably in connec- tion with the United States, because our business interests lie that way; but at any rate a cable. Any proposition looking to this end will receive the aid of the Ha- V: n Government to the extent of its ability, meaning by that its financial abil- ity and recognition of treaty obligations.” It is understood that there is still another possibility of a cable to Hawaii. Itis stated in diplomatic circles that the French Gov- ernment has intimated to the Hawaiian Government a desire that the Hawaiians should not be too quick to close negotia- tions for an English cable. It was hinted in this connection, it is said, that there isa possibility of France extemling her New Caledonia cable to Honolulu. The French Government now aids, by subsidy, a cable between Australia and the island of New Caledonia. From this point it is but a distance of 3000 miles to Honolulu. Which- ever Government gets the cable to Hono- lulu first will have a practical monopoly for several years, because there will not be enough business for two lines, and, more- over, it will have a start toward the exten- sion of a cable from Hawaii to the west or south. K. Matsui, first secretary of the Japa- nese legation, smiled skeptically when his attention was called to the advanced state of the negotiations looking toward the Pa- cific cable. “Such an idea has been considered for the past five or six years,”” he said, “but nothing definite has been formulated. I do not believe the statements that wealthy Japanese capitalists are interested at pres ent in the incorporation of such a com- pany. Neither do I believe that Minister Kurino has had any communication with the Secretary of State on the subject.”” ‘‘Have there been any conferences with officials of this legation upon the matter?” Mr. Matsui smiled again. “None, I as- sure you,” he replied amiably. “All state- ments published regarding approaching completion of preliminaries in this regard are something new to me, and I cannot believe there is much in them.” RAILROAD COMPENSATION. Secretary Carlisle 1Issue an Affecting Pacific Roads. ‘WasHINGTON, March 9.— Secretary Car- lisle to-day issued an order directing fthat hereafter all compensation for mail and other services rendered the Government by certain non-aided or leased lines of the Union Pacific shall be paid to the receivers of the respective companies, instead of being applied, as heretofore, to the sinking fund and the bond and interest account of the Union Pacific. This action is based upon the decisions of the courts, and the showing made that these roads are not now under the au- thority or control of the Union Pacific, and that the relation of the compensation earned is illegal. The Secretary’s order is substantially as follows: That all compensation for services rendered by the Union Pacific Railroad Company to the United States at Omaha and Ogden shall be re- tained and gpplied as heretofore, by crediting one-half thereof to the sinking fund and one- half to the bond and interest account. All compensation for services on the Kansas division, between Kansas City and a point 393 15-16 miles westerly therefrom, half of the said compensation shall be retained and applied to the bond and interest account,and the other half thereof shall be paid to the Union Pacific Railway Company. All compensation for services rendered by the Union Pacific Railroad Company to the United States on the Kansas City division between' the said points, distance 393 15-16 miles west of Kansas City and Denver, shall be paid to the Union Pacific Railway Company. Compensation for services renderea by the following-named rtoads to be paid as indi- cated: Union Pacific, between Denver and Cheyenne, to be paid to the Union Pacific; Leavenworth branch of the Union Pacific, between Leavenworth and Lawrence, Kans., to be paid to the Union Pacific; Union Pacific, upon and over the Omaha bridge between Council Bluffs and Omaha, to be paid to the Union Pacific Company. Compensation for services rendered by the following-named roads to be paid to the re- spective receivers or authorizegl agents: Omaha and Republican Valley, Union Pacific, Lincoln and Colorado, Kansas Central, Denver, Leadville and Gunuison; Junction City and Fort Kearney, Solomon Railroad Company, Denver and Bounlder Valley and the Echo and Park City Company. None of the payments authorized are to be made except on the filing with the Treasury Department ot a properly certified order of the court appointing the person or persons named in the said order receiver or receivers of the said respective companies. This order is to apply to all payments for compensation for services rendered since the appointment of said receivers and which have Been heretofore withheld awaiting the action of the Treasury Department, and to all future payments to the respective companies until further ordered. . GOODS FOR THE FREE ZONE. Hereafter They Will Be Appraised Be- fore Going to Mexico. ‘WasnmNgroN, March 9.—The Secretary of the Treasury has advised the Collectors of Customs at ports at which goods hereto- fore have been entered for transit to Mex- ico that the recent joint resolution passed by Congress prohibits such transit in cases where the goods are designed to points within the so-called “free zone.” The Secretary also directs Collectors to hereafter refuse entries for such transpor- tation. Goods already entered may be forwarded as heretofore, but goods which hereafter may arrive at any port of entry will be required to be examined and ap- praised and entered for transportation in bond to an American port on the Mexican border and xe-enterego there for exporta- Order tion. This will involve delay and pas;ibly expense to shippers, but cannot be nvm_ded in any other manner than by the abolish- ment of the free zon —— NO MORE LAND PATENTS. Secretary Smith Has Decided to With- hold Railroad Titles. WasniNGrox, March 9.—Secretary Smith has determined that no more patents for land granted the subsidized railroads shall be issued until there has been a settlement of the debt due the Government from these roads. An attempt was made to get a res- olution to this effect through Congress, but it failed. As soon as the resolution was presented Commissioner Lamoreux of the General Land Office immediately suspended work upon the preparation of lists of lands within the grants and none were sent to the Secretary for approval while the reso- lution was pending. ;\Eter“:nrsl, when Congress adjourned, the Commissioner felt compelled to go ahead with the patenting of lands to the Union and Central Pacific roads, but with the announcement of the Secretary that he will not approve any further }-ments to these roads work was again suspended. Secretary Smith will in a short time make an order to that effect and give reasons for such action. He says that he thinks it just that no more patents should be granted when the roads owe the Govern- ment such large sums. It has been stated that a suit for man- damus to compel the Secretary to con- tinue issuing patents will be brought by the railroads. When this was suggested to Secretary Smith to-day he said that it would be time enough to begin work on the patents when the courts granted such mandamus. The lands affected are within the grants to the Union and Central Pacific between Omaha and Sacramento. [t is also thought the lands within the grant to the Oregon and California road will be af- fected asit is operated as a partof the Central Pacific Railroad system. - FIGHT WITH TRAMPS. Delaware Officers Have Running Fight Before Making Arrests. WirmiNgroy, Del., March 9.—Last night fifty tramps captured the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore freight train from Baltimore, due in this city at {11:30. Conductor Reilly and crew were powerless. - A few of the gang had re- volvers and all were armed with knives and clubs. One brakemen was beaten. The tramps attempted to force him from the car. They tock refuge on the engine. At Chase station the trainmen were all driven from the tops of the cars, and it was ex- pected that an attack would be made on the engine, but afterward the tramps began quarreling among themselves. One was thrown from the train and it is sup- posed was fatally injured. Conductor Reilly telegraphed to this city for assistance. Assoon as the train stopped the tramps jumped from the cars and ran across the fields, after a running fight in which several shots were fired. The officers succeeded in capturing eleven, The tramps only surrendered at the point of revolvers. This morning the prisoners were given jail sentences. CCHES T0 STUDY OUT WEST REV. JENKIN LLOYD JONES WILL LECTURE THROUGHOUT THE STATE. BuppHISM May GET BosTON, BUT WiLL Make No HEabpway 1IN CHICAGO. Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Ch soclate professor at Chicago Religions, arrived in San Francisco yes- terday evening on a tour through the State. “I left Chicago in the proverbial bliz- zard, and of course found sunshine and balmy breezes on reaching California. I was prepared for that.” The professor. however, added that he had not come to enjoy the climate so much as to study the mental and moral condition of the people of California. ‘‘Everything here is several degrees newer than it is even in Chicago, and I want to find out whether the people are more advanced than in the middle West. It is an interesting sociological study, and one that I mean to make the most of. “1t seems a strange thing to say, but so far what has impressed me most is the desert. It was good to see something where man was not, and that he did not covet—in fact the desert is the only thin I have seen for a long time that man did not want. There is a great sermon in the gusrcl of the desert.” Mr. Jones, who is the guest of Leslie W. Sprague, will preach twice at the Second Unitarian Church, once this evening and once next Sunday, during his stay in this city, though the desert will not be one of his themes. He will also deliver_ lectures on literary subjects at both the universities and in Golden Gate Hall, and at the Sec- ond Unitarian Church. “Speaking of literature,” said Mr. Jones, “I consider the dramatist and the novelist the grentestsreaclxers of to-day. Mrs. Humphry Ward’s ‘Marcella’ is ‘a pure tract for the times, although the writer has had art enough to make ita great novel at the same time. Another writer over whom the Chicago profession is enthusiastic is Henrik Ibsen. To me,” he said, *“Ibsen is one of the bitter-sweet tonics of modern literature. There is a wholesome discontent to be found in his works, and though he has never arrived at any great conclusions himself he has forced men to think. It isa mistake to call Ibsen a pessimist. He may be a short- range pessimist, but he is a long-range optimist. That is, he thinks that things will be worse before "h."'f’ are better, but that ultimately men will learn by bitter experience, and will overthrow the evils that have crept in through the present cor- rupt eondition of society.” When asked whether Chicago was his native heath the Unitarian minister frankly stated that he was born in Wales. “I was an enterprising infant of a year old though when I emigrated to America,” he added, “and I brought my father and mother with me. Since then I have lived princi- pally in Chicago.” One of the lectures that Rev. Lloyd Jones will deliver is entitled “Parliament of Religions, and What Next?” In reply to a question as to what sequel he expects the professor declared that the parliament had sounded the death knell of sectarianism. It made even Christianity realize that it is one of a family—the best born and the noblest maybe, but it has brothers and sisters. The };arliament showed the uni- versality of religious instinets, and out of that comes a recogn! S hion asken 1 Vhen asked his opinion of the fact that a Buddhist missionary had recently begun a rpr(spaganda of his faith in San Francisco, Mr. Jones remarked With an air of surprise and gentle sarcasm: “Well, I have heard that the Buddhists had hopes of capturing Boston, but I did not expect it here. In Chu:a%o we are too good Christians to g0 to the lengths of San Francisco and Boston though we realize some good in Buddhism.} And then the Rev. %‘dr. Jones looked thoughtful, as though he were beginning to find more interesting sociological studies in the West than he had anticipated,” ion of the unity of all A Duke’s daughter i i £ don hospital, B e Ton and fecretary of the World’s Congress of | | YOUNG MEN NEW TO-DAY.
