One of the main troubles in the whole s, indeed, is that the newsp: both countries have taken the entire bur- den of the controversy upon their own shoulders and devoted such time and space to elaborate research and comprehensive surveys on all the disputed points, that the public get the impression that the Foreign Offices have nothing to do but back up the editorial contentions of their respective Wountries. This is particularly true of the new and rather vexatious complication which has suddenly risen to mix up fur- ther the African questions. All that the Governments concerned know is that a Belfast ex-missionary named Charley Btokes, who has long played the partofa t of itinerant combination f Mormon and post-trader in’ Ugenda and the er Nile country, has been summarily hanged by subordinate Congo officials on an expedition in the bush. Ordinarily such a thing would be quietly settled by the foreign offices interested, t here the Belgian, English, French and °n German papers are devoting columns v to the affair with rival accounts of alleged eyewitnesses and violent debates on Cook’s character, until the matter is ed to the dignity of an international rel, and men are actually talking t England seizing large sections of the -0 territory for indemnity. Nobody will be sorry when the Sedan celebration of to-morrow and Monday in Berlin and throughout rmany will be well over. 1 French Embassador left Berlin to-day to remain away over this unpleasant affair, and it is now announced, in addition, that 1 > will be no French officers at the great Stettin maneuvers beginning next m onth, All things considered, these com- emorations of 1870 passed off with much friction than might have been ex- ed, but they leave a legacy of bitter- in France which profitably might bave been avoided. There is one incident, moreover, which 1 not be said to be ended. The French general of division, Munier, printed in Le Figaro some grave, sweeping accusations Jess of theit-and dishonor against German offi-|- cers during the invasion, with the sugges- tion in one particular of an individual charge, which has made the German, very angry, and there is still talk in Berlin of German officers finding some way, official- Iy or otherwise, of calling the offender to account. On the other hand the German Emperor has canceled the order which has hitherto forbidden French theatrical and operatic companies from performing in Alsace and Lorraine, and Mlle. Reichem- berg has already arranged an autumnal tour in the two provinces with a Parisian company. Nothing now remains on the horizon but possibly an entertaining wrangle about Chitral and it is assumed that the House will rise Thursday for good. The chief interest in the brief session has been in the way in which Healy climbed over his rivals in his party and took both the symbols and the substance of leadership away from them in the House. His curious personality has al- ways interested the members of the Com- mons, but in this session he has been prac- tically the only man on the wnole opposi- tion side who has commanded individual attention. This will follow him now to Ireland, where he has three stiff local fights on hand in by-elections, and where | the only sport of the season will be af- forded to those who need political occupa- tion all the year round. He has gone to Ireland to arrange for a candidate in West Wateriord against a peculiarly incompe- tent young Londoun hanger-on, whom the committee nominated, and both here and in South Kerry his nominees will represent real as against spurious Irish Nationalism, and will probably win. The trade-union congress, beginning at Cardiff Monday, bids fair to be the storm- iest on record during its career of twen- ty-eight years. The questions arising for settlement at the very opening session are undoubtedly of exceptional impor- tance, and feeling already runs very high over them. At the last two congresses— Belfast in 1893 and Norwich in 1894— purely socialistic resolutions demanding the nationalization of land and of all means of production and distribution and exchange were passed on the second occa- sion, on Keir Hardie's motion, by the im- mense vote of 219 against 61. This has frightened the older and more conservative organizations of skilled labor, and they have set to work, through their control of the parliamentary committee, to prevent such things happening in the future. In the hurry and confusion of the closing session at Norwich the revision of the rules was left to this committee. They im- proved the chance during the year by adopting new standing orders, which not only severally restrict the choice of dele- gates to actual workers in the trades rep- resented, but establish a system of plural voting proportioned to the strength of each union, which will place the power in the hands of the big unions and make cer- tain-a majority against the socialistic party. The first fight will be over the power of the committee to declare, as it has done, these new rules in force without first receiving the sanction of the congress. It will be a prolonged and bitter struggle of weeks, and each side swears now that if beaten it will secede from the congress, Advance extracts from a long article in the coming Revue des Deux Mondes by the Comte d'Haussonville on the late Comte de Paris indicate that the paper itself will be of unique biographical and historical value. The writer has not only a peculiar inside knowledge of his subject, but is the possessor of an unusually fine sense of character and of the relative value of events and motives. He gives at length, with much frankness, the whole story of the Orleanist connection with Boulangism, which, as is well known, he personally de- plored and resisted, but which the Comte de Paris believed was good politics. The Prince’s idea was that it would never be necessary to go the length of making Bou- langer President of the Republic, but that, once a Monarchist majority was obtained in the Chamber by the Boulangist alliance, a clever handling of it would compel Car- not to make terms with the monarchy. It was a fatal blunder, of course, and a discreditable one too, and the Comte d’Haussonville can only explain it on the theory that the Prince regarded his exile as a crime which had put the republic out- side the pale of morals and entitled him to use any weapon against it that he could find. If this be the final apology for the Prince, and it is difficult to see how any other can come from a source equally inti- mate and authoritative, it is a pretty poor one. By the time the French Chamber meets again it is evident that there will be a con- siderable provincial agitation against the proposed exhibition of 1900 to confront. The general councils of the Vosges, Rhone, Meurtheet and Moselle have al- ready protested against it, and the de- centralization league is busy at work get- ting others to follow their example. Some of the arguments are familiar, such as that Paris will gain at the expense of the provinces, that foreign manufacturers come and copy French designs, and so rob and use the knowledge to hurt French trade, and that concentration of interest and temporary =activity and high wages at the capital desioralize business and labor throughout France for years after. but there is another reason advanced now, that during the five years of preparation France will lose freedom of action in foreign pol- icy, which the Chauvinists in the Chamber are likely to make more use of. Inasmuch as the Government has already adopted plans and entered into many contracts, it is unlikely that the Chamber will now turn round and refuse the credits which will be voted, but such a posibilityexists. Paris 1s amusing itself daily with the carrent discussion in the papers by emi- nent women on the subject of knicker- bockers for cyclists of their sex, Mme. Adam is esthetically against them, and so are most other celebrities of the stage, literature and the salon whose opinions are sought. Sarah Bernhardt is more vehement than. the rest,. but bases her antagonism wholly on the moral grounds. She says that she has seen too much in America and England of the result of giv- ing indiscriminate liberty to girls to wish to see the French subjected to similar 1n- fluences.. Here in England the adoption of the so-called rational costume for the wheel which was started briskly a few months'ago is now quite at a standstill. The explanation, I am informed by an ex- pert of the Pioneer Club, is due to the fact that British tailors insist on pleating the trousers at the back, with effects which may be modest but are indubitably ugly. The transformation of Carlyle’s house into s musenm has started up a wildcat notion of buying the house,also in Chelsea, where Turner died, for the same purpose, -HazoLp- FREDERIC, RELEASE OF CUBANS, Examination of the Men Taken by Federal Officers. LIBERATED ON BONDS. Sympathy for the Twenty Who Were Going to Fight for Freedom. NEUTRALITY LAWS SUPREME. There Are Many Filibusters, How~ ever, Who Are Anxious to Go to the Islands. WILMINGTON, DeL., Aug. 31.—The twenty Cubans arrested at Penns, N. yesterday were arraigned before Acting United States Commissioner MacAlister to-day, and each man pleaded not guilty. The charge against the men was violation of the neutrality law. After the pleas had been entered counsel for the defendants moved that the men be discharged on technical grounds, but this was not granted. After hearing consider- able evidence the only point brought out was that Ralph de Soto had directed the operations of the party. As De Soto had left the party before the capture was made and was not accused evidence against him could not be heard. The Government finished its case at 2 o’clock and a recess was taken for an hour. When the hearing was resumed at 3 o’clock, argument was made by the attor- neys for both sides. This lasted for twe hours, and at its conclusion Commissioner MacAlister held the accused in $300 bail each for court, and the authorities were kept busy till 10 o’clock to-night making out bail bonds for the prisoners. Many prominent Cubans from Philadelphia and elsewhere were present. There was no trouble in securing bonds. Dr. J. A. Draper, one of the most prom- inent physicians in Delaware, and who is a personal friend of Embassador Bayard and United States Senator Gray, went on four of the bonds. General J. Parke Pstles, president of the National Morocco Manufacturers’ Association, also went on six bonds. Ralph de Soto, who had charge of concentrating the expedition here, went security for the remaining-ten. It was suggested that De Soto be held under bonds, he having admitted that he was of the party, but his lawyer held him- self responsible for his client’s appearance should he be wanted. The Cubans are pleased with the treat- ment accorded them by the Government officers, and express themselves as much touched because of the sympathy shown by the people of Wilmington. The case will probably come up before Judge Wales in the United States courton S8eptember 10, The majority of the prisoners are men of wealth and prominence. It was stated by a prominent Cuban to-day that Parro Belancom, one of the most active of the filibusters, lives in New York and is a graduated physician of the University of Pennsylvania. Heis famous in Cuba as one of the best doctors in Matanzas. At the beginning of the revolution he was ex- pelled from Cuba and ordered to reside under surveillance in Spain. After a short stay in the mother country he fled to Paris and escaped thence to the United States. His family is very rich and well connected. Pablo Menocal haiis from New Yorkand is a nephew of Chief Engineer Menocal of the United States navy, the projector of the Nicaragua canal. He came to this country at the outbreak of the conflict. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 31.—The first intimation the United States Govern- ment had of the contemplated Wilmington filibustering expedition to Cuba came to the State Department here in a telegram from the Spanish Consul at Philadelphia. It was at once transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury by Acting Secretary of State Adee as follows: “‘Spanish Consul at Philadelphia is about to make complaint under oath at Wilmington, on knowledge and belief, that an armed expedition left that port at midnight last night on the tug Taurus to be transferred to asteamer for hostile pur- poses against the peace of Spain in viola- tion of the neutrality statutes of the United States. Spanish Consul asks that, steps be taken to hold any steamer with sus- picious assemblage on board and detain the Taurus until opportunity can be af- forded to institute judicial proceedings to-day.” A telegram dated Wilmington, Del., vesterday from George L. Townsend, Col- lector of Customs at that port, who had been telegravhed to keep a lookout, re- ported the capture of the Taurus “bound for Cuba with arms, twenty men and twenty-seven cases of ammunition.”” KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 3L—The filibustering expedition plans are pro- gressing very slowly here. Orvilie Shelby, leader of the movement, has been absent from the city for several days, and hence the matter has been quiet. His father, General J. O. Shelby, late Confederate, and now United States Marshal, has notified the party that if they persist, he will lana them in jail, and this has also stopped progress. ‘Che leaders are very reticent, and are only willing to say that the outlook is bright, and that the movement has only been slightly retardéd by the declarations of the United States authorities that they propose to interfere. Petitions will be put in circulation calling on Congress to recognize the Cuban revolutionists as belligerents, and it is expected that Kansas City will be-able to send a monster Cuban petition to Congress when it convenes. .FAILUBE OF A BIG FACTORY. By the Collapse One Hundred Operators Are Out of Work. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 31. — The large factory at 528 and 530 Wall street, occupied by the Driggs Manufacturing Company was closed to-day under a chat- tel mortgage, securing debts to the National Bank of Commerce and the First National ?&nfilégt Kansas City amounting to about The comém:’;{l manufactured ' overalls, trousers and ofher garments,, About 100 operatives are thrown out of employment. }fi: statement of the assets nndplinbmties has as yet been made. T. C. Driz};s of Kansas City, Kans., is %)remdept of the company. The trouble is attributed to the failure several months ago of the Wingate, Stone & Weller Mercantile Com- any, s wholesale furnishing and notion ouse. The mortgage given to the banks covers all amounts due_the Dnzw_ Com- any by K. Hanna, receiver of T. Wingate ompany. . U RS BUFFALO’S BIG BLAZE. Academy of Music and Othor Large Buildings Burned. BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. L—One of the most serious fires that has visited Buffalo for several years started in the basement of the Acamedy of Music at 1 o’clock this morning. At 1:45 o'clock the firemen, believing that they had the fire under control, with- drew part of the working force. A few minutes later a blaze broke through the rear of the academy and rapidly spread to the adjoining fur and hat store of George W. Chace. This was soon. totally de- stroyed. The flames then spread to the Glenny Sons store, the largest importers of china- ware in the United States, and burned through two stories before the firemen were able to drive the flames in the opposite direction, where they found material to feed on in the drugstoreof Lyman & Sloan, the American Express Company’s build- ing and Western Union Telegraph Com- pany, the latter places suffering slight damage. The Jeffrys Lewis Dramatic Company was booked to play the week at the Acad- emy, but had not yet transferred their effects from the depot to the theater. At 3:20 o’clock the fire is under control. A conservative estimate places the total loss at $500,000. LSS LIGHTNING AT A FUNERAL. It Killed the Hearse-Driver and the Team Ran Away With Two Corpses. BALTIMORE, Mpn., Aug. 31.—William Alsop, the driver of a hearse, wasinstantly killed by lightning at an open grave this afternoon in Sharp-street Church Ceme- tery. The same flash of lightning fright- ened the team and they dashed down the hillside with the driver’s corpse on top of the hearse and the body of Mrs. Mary Brown on the inside. The team ran into a big tree ana the driver's body rolled to the ground. The casket was removed from the hearse without damage. FORMING A SECRET PACT. New York’s Policemen Are Organizing to Corrupt Legislators. They Expect to Ralse Eighty Thou- sand Dollars to Defeat Unfa- vorable Bilis. NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 31 —The Evening Sun this evening publishes the following: It became known to-day by way of an undoubted authority that within the past few days a secret organization has been formed in the Police Department of this city for the purpose of raising a mam- moth corruption fund. Every person connected with the new organization has been pledged to the strictest kind of secrecy. ‘The new secret organization differs ma- terially from any of its predecessors inas- much as'its nfembership so far is confined exclusively to sergeants, roundsmen and patrolmen. The object of the big corruption fund, as understood by those who have been pledged to membership, is to pay some dis- honest legislators who last year worked for the défeat of the police reorganization bill, and also some of those who voted against the power of removal bill. But there is also another object of the bill, according to the best of authority, and that is to bribe members of the next Legis- lature to defeat any police reorganization bill that may be drafted. The amount to be raised is $80,000. It will be subscribed by a graduated list. Sergeants are to pay $50 each, roundsmen $25 and patrolmen $20 each. At the meeting held to organize the new secret society delegates were present from every precinct in the city. Ever since the police reorgnnizntiqn bill was defeated the Commissioners have de- clared repeatedly that it would be impos- sible for them to properly organize the force without the power to remove mem- bers in the depariment on charges and bave their action final. e, MILITIA ORDERED OUT. One Michigan Miners’ Strike Takes a Serious Turn. LANSING, Micm., Aug. 31.—The iron- ore miners’ strike, which has been in pro- gress for some time, has takena serious turn. The mine-owners have announced that they will commence work with non- union men. Governor Rich returned to the capital from Elba in post-haste to-night upon re- ceipt of a telegram from the Mayor of Ishpeming, saying the situation there was hourly growing warlike. The Sheriff also fears trouble even before the shovels are started, and has called for troops at once. After considering the request Governor Rich issued formal orders for the Fifth Regiment, State troops, to proceed to Ishpeming at once, under command of Colonel Lyon. The regiment will reach Ishpeming to- morrow. One hundred tents have %een forwarded to Ishpeming and Assistant Quartermaster-General Averv will be on the ground with every preparation for a long siege. Lieutenant-Colonel Burnett of Muskegon has been advising with the Gov- ernor to-night. Muskegon, Manistee, Big Rapids and Owosso companies will be called out if more troops are needed. R MRS, PARTRIDGE HONORED. Elected Most Worthy Grand Matron of the .~ Order of the Eastern Star. BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 30.—At the ses- sion of the General Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star Mrs. Mary E. Partridge of Oakland, Cal., was elected Most Worthy Grand Matron: of the Gen- eral Grand Chapter of the United States. Gt e Imprisoned Bull-Fighters, COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., Aug. 31, — The imprisonment of ‘the two Mexicans who took part in the bullfights at Gillete has been called to the attention of Casimir arela of Trinidad, the Mexican Consul or Colorado, and he.is expected here to- morrow. The men paid their fines when arrested, and it. is . contended - that they are now illegally held. ' The District Attorney said he considered that they bad committed a felonious act'and ey were belug held for trial. FOR AMERICA'S CUP, Programme of the Great Races of Rival Yachts. DUNRAVEN IS SATISFIED. Now It Remains to Be Seen Whether the Defender or Valkyrie WILL WIN THE BIG PRIZE. Conditions Are Unchanged and Three Contests Out of Five ‘Will Decide. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 31.—Lord Dun- raven informed a reporter for the United Press to-day that the conditions which will govern the international yacht races were satisfactorily arranged at the meeting between himself and the members of the America’s cup committee last evening. All the details were gone over carefully and the committee will issue the official programme early next week. Lord Dunraven was asked to-day if an arrangement satisfactory to both parties bad been reached. He replied: “Yes, everything is settled.” “Were the conditions presented at last night’s meeting satisfactory ?” “Perfectly.” “Will the rules governing the races be the same as in 18932 “Yes.” The programme, which the committee will publish next week, is in substance as follows: The races for the America cup will be the best three in five. The courses will be practically the same as the recent trial races were sailed over, except that the windward and leeward race will be thirty miles with a turn and the triangular races ten miles to a leg instead of eight miles. There will be a two-gun start with an in- terval of two minutes before the handicap gan. The start will be from either Scot- land or Sandy Hook lightship according to the direction of the wind. ' The first race will be Saturday, Septem- ber 7, the second Tuesday, September 10, and the third Thursday, September 12. Additional races, if necessary, will be sailed with one week day intervening. The competing yachts, the Defender and the Valkyrie III, will be measured in the Erie Basin September 6, the day before the race, and the time allowance will be de- termined according to the rules of the New York Yucht Club. At 11 o’clock this morning the Defender left her anchorage and' sailed out as faras Scotland lightship, and ‘after a couple of hours’ cruising. returned = proceeded under her own -power up to Bay Ridge. On board of her were Mr. and Mrs. Iselin, Newberry Thorne, Herbert C. Leeds, Wood- bury Kane and Nat Herreshoff, A line was taken from the tug Flint and America’s hope was towed to the Erie Basin with the intention ef docking her, but a few minutes after 5 o’clock a furious storm of rain and thunder and lightning set in, and the docking of the Defender ‘was postponed until to-morrow at 5 A, M. The Defender wiil go out of the drydock on Monday and will take daily spins off Sandy Hook until the day for the first race arrives. The Valkyrie will be docked at 4 p. M. next Wednesday, and her hull will be black-leaded and made ready for the race. She will leave the dock Friday morning. REMOVED JUDGE HATTON, Ousting of a Police Judge Who Favored Kansas Liquor Men. The Man Appointed to the Place Is Known as a Rabid Prohl- bitionist. WICHITA, Kaxs., Aug. 31.—The. Prohi- bitionist Board of Police Commissioners to-day acceded to the demands of the Assistant Attorney-General, W. H. New- bill, and summarily removed Police Judge Hatton, appointing in his stead Whitney R. Tucker. The cause leading up to this action was the known friendliness of Judge Hatton with the liberal element, and the further fact that the Assistant Attorney-General laid the blame for the failure to find one man out of several hundred examined who would qualify as a juror in the case recent- ly brought against one of the drinking clubs. Judge Campbell insisted that Judge Hat- ton’s rulings were altogether in favor of the defendants and dismissed the case ina fit of anger after having piled up several hundred dollars of costs upon the county. The Police Judge has concurrent juris- diction with a Justice of the Peace in liquor prosecutions, and in the case cited farmers from all over the country were brought in at great expense, only to be excused from jury service. ‘Whitney Tucker is known to have strict ideas as to the enforcement of the prohibi- tion law. While serving as Justice of the Peace some years ago he made a record as a rabid Prohibitionist and is feared by the joints. Judge Hatton will dgmcly comgfi- cate the matter, as he heads the Republi- can county ticket for District Judge. RN ol Feudal War Raging. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 31.—A special from Lexington,Ky., says: Information was received here to-day that a terrible war is raging on 'the headwaters of Straight Creek, in Harlan County, but de- tails'are not obtainable. Several men have been killed during the - past few weeks. The Helton, Brooks and Taylor families are engaged in the war, one of the leading spirits being Robert Jackson, who has lled sev men and has just been re- leased on tail by Harlan County officials Burning of a Steamer. NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 31.—The steamer Isle of Wight, belonging to'the Old Bo- t | minion' line, was burned at Smithfield iz this_ morning, When the fire was discovered the steamer was passed outinto the stream away, and an attempt made to scuttle her, which failed, the hull not sink- ing until the steamer was entirely de- stroyed. iy e Bl GUARDSMEN AGAINST RIFLES. Lively Fights Among Militiamen, Grow- tng Out of Prize-Shooting. HASTINGS. NEBR., Aug. 31.—About 2 o'clock this morning a lively fight oc- curred between Omaha Guards on one side and Thurston Rifles and Norfolk militia- men on the other. Several scrimmages oc- curred and a number of heads were bruised. The trouble was the outgrowth of the feel- ing caused by the awarding of the Gov- ernor’s cup to the Norfolk Company L of the Second Regiment. The Omaha Guards’ version of the affair is that the order was given that the com- petition must be made with thirty-two men. They sent home and brought out enough to fill out to that number with men who had been on sick leave. Then they were ruled out on the claim that they had not that quota on the grounds on August 28. They demanded the programme, drilled under it and scored 90 points. When the Norfolk company drilled it scored 65 points, General Colby, the Omaha Guards claim, sides with the Norfolk company and the subordinate officers side with the Omaha Guards. | DAMAGE DO. BY A STORM. New York City and Vicinity Swept by a Fierce Gale. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 31.—A terrific windstorm, accompanied by a heavy down- pour of rain, swept over the city this even- ing. The storm lasted fully thirty-five minutes and extended throughout Jersey City, Brooklyn, Long Island and neigh- boring towns, causing many thousands of dollars’ worth of damage to property. The roof of a three-story box factory on West Sixty-fourth street was blown into a vacant lot and fell with a terrific crash. Several passers-by narrowly escaped injury. The police reported that the North and South walls of the top floor of a six-story building in course of construction at the corner of Third avenue and Fifty-ninth street fell crashing through the roof of an adjoining building, but fortunately no one was injured. The storm caused much damage in Harlem. At One Hundred and Eighth sireet and Manhattan avenue a large board fence 200 feet long was blown down and two children were slightly in- jured. CATILE WITH THE FEVER, Kansas’ Sanitary Board An- noyed by Railroad Carelessness. Bovines Stricken With Disease While Grazing Near Quar- antined Cases. TOPEKA, Kaxs., Aug. 31— Secretary Moore and the State Sanitary Board are wrestling with several cases of Texasfever. All the cases located have been quaran- tined and an investigation iustituted as to the origin of the various outbreaks. The latest case, which developed at Paoli, has not been thoroughly looked into, but the presence of the ticks is unmistakable evi- dence that the cattie had contracted the disease some time before their arrival. The cattle came from Mountain Grove, in Southern Missouri, which is not far above the quarantine line. So the cattle may have had the germs of the disease with them before they left there, or may have contracted it en route from riding in im- properly disinfected cars. One or two cases have come to the board’s attention in which native cattle, particularly cows, have contracted splenic fever from browsing near cars loaded with quarantine cattle and the railroads are be- ing severely censured for negligence in this respect. The only case that the board has had anything to do with, however, comes from Ottawa, where a bunch of cat- tle has been quarantined since the latter part of July. Twelve of the cattle have died. In this case the feeder got the cattle from the stockyards at Kansas City and had his commission men buy them. The cattle bought included four head of branded Texas steers, the others being natives. About the middle of July several head were discovered to be sick and an investi- gation developed a genuine case of Texas fever. Most of the native cattle took sick and died while the branded Texans got along all right. This case was traced direct to the Kansas City yards and was no fault of the railroads. ———— CRUELTIES OF THE TURKS. There Would Seem to Be No End to the Trouble in Armenia. LONDON, Exg., Aug. 31.—The Duke of ‘Westminster, who is vice-chairman of the English committee formed for the relief of the Armemans from wrongs at the hands of Turkey, to-day received full reports showing the inhumanity of the Turkish officials at Sassoun, who have put every possible obstable in the way of the distri- bution of food, clothing, medicine and other forme of relief among the starving Armenians. The reports received by the Duke assert that. many Armenians are dying each day because of the systematic cruelties prac- ticed by the Turkish officials in the re- spects mentioned. Urgent representations have been forwarded to Lord Salisbury of the need of the immediate application of a laree measure of relief and alleging that the Turkish officials complained of are act- ing in accordance with the policy of the Porte, which comprehends the extermina- tion of theremaining Armenian fugitives. ST T A Queen Thrown While Riding. BRUSSELS, Bereiow,. Aug. 31.—The Queen of the Belgians, who is staying at Spa, near Liege, was thrown from her horse while riding gesterday. The aceci- dent occurred while the horse was leaping a ditch. Her Majesty was slightly cut about the head and blood flowed from her wounds. Nevertheless she remounted her herse and rode back to Spa. She wasim- mediately put to bed, where she remains, but her condition is not serious enough to cause anxiety. For Daly’s Successor. LONDON, Exc., Aug. 31.—In the House of Commons to-day Captain Donelan, anti- Parnellite member of Cork, moved the issuance of a writ of elections for the city of Limerick . for the purpose of electing a member of the House in place of John Daly, dynamiter, now serving a term in son, whose relation to Parliament for it reason is canceleds AFTER MANY YEARS, Henry J. Tyson Released From a Colorado Prison. CONVICTED OF MURDER. While Under Sentence of Death He Became a Maniac. KEPT IN A SOLITARY CELL. Perhaps Justice Was at First Blind in This Most Remarkable Case. DENVER, Coro., Aug. 31.—Henry J, Tyson to-day entered a plea of guilty to involuntary manslaughter before Judge Johnson of the District Court and re- ceived a sentence of twenty-four hours in the County Jail. This sentence was immediately remitted and he walked forth a free man, thus end- ing a most remarkable legal ficht for life. Seven years ago Tyson moved from Denver to Omaha, taking his family with him. Afterward his wife disappeared, and from facts previously known Tyson sus- pected that John King, a railway engineer of Denver, had enticed her away. They soon came to Denver, he hunted out the couple, met King in the yard of a place in ‘West Denver and filled him full of bullets. Then the murderer took the train back to Omaha. He was arrested, brought back to Denver, tried and sentenced to be hanged. During the interim between the killing and the trial, the law relating to executions was changed, and under the new law Tyson was sent to the penitentiary to be placed in solitary confinement until executed. ‘While there he became insane, was brought back to Denver, proved insane and returned to the solitary cell to await the return of reason, so that the sentence of death might be imposed. For three years he remained in the dungeon, a harmless lunatic. While there, the law under which he was sentenced was declared unconstitutional. A former employer, G. E. Adams of Erie, Pa., now took an interest in the case, and employed Attorney N.G. Tanqueray of this city to try to secure the man’s re- lease. Tyson was brought to Denver last March, proved sane by a jury and then the sentence of death was once more imposed.

An NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 31.—A gi- gantic fraud of counterfeiting Southern Pacific Railway tickets was unearthed here to-day with the arrest of Charles J. Bar- nett of Barnett & Wenar, Canal-street scalpers. A warrant is out for Wenar, and he is almost certain to be arrested within the next twenty-four hours. It is also understood that an arrest has been made in New York, through a private detective agency and another arrest in an Eastern city, but the names of the prison- ers are for the present withneld. The tickets were counterfeited in New York by a printing and lithographing house in that city, and the printers, it is said, are also to be arrested. Inspector Fegan of the Southern Pacific Railroad has been at work on the case for seven months. The Southern Pacific since General Passenger Agent Morse came here had discovered counterfeiting going, and a plan was mapped out to capture the al- leged criminals. Fegan worked with the crooks and was offered as his share of the “gwag” $25,000. United States Deputy Marshal Leblanc arrested Barnett this morning and he is now In custody.
