o = THE SAN FRANCISCO cCALL, 'KIDAX, UCTOBER 18, 1895. T0 FAVOR PATRIOTS, Brazi WILL VERY SOON RECOGNIZE CUBANS AS BELLIGERENTS. TAKES THE INITIATIVE. r No LONGER TO WAIT FOR ACTION UPON THE PART OF THE UNITED STATES. 17.—At last the initiativi s been taken in the recogn tion of the Cuban inzurgents. A dispatch to a morning paper states authoritatively that within the week the Government of Brazil will issue a proclamation an- nouncing this intention. This statement is given out by a member very high in the il ernment, and there can be no doubt as to its import. For some time past Brazil has been trying to secure the co-operation of the United States in jointly recognizing the struggling patriots, but as ner efforts have been unsuccessful she resolved to go ahead on her own responsibility. At a special meeting of the Cabinet, which was held on the 14th, the members composing it unanimously agreed to support the Government in any such action. The Spanish M er at Rio Janeiro has made the strongest protest against any such action, but without avail. He has communicated with the home Govern- ment and it is expected that he will be re- called at any moment. The special meet- ing of the Cabinet which has been called for the 23d inst. is thought to be for the express purpose of putting the question ent, so that the recog- gents may take place e month. Dispatches from Santiago de Cuba re- ceived to-day dated the 14th bring intelli- gence of two large battles fought on the 11th and 12th near Sabinica. The in- surgents had established their field head- quartersin the mountain passes to the eas of the River Cantos. They numbered” nearly 2000 men, under General Maceo. On the afternoon of the 11tk a large Spanish force, under General Navarro, from Santiago de Cuba, made an advance on the rebel lines and were re- pulsed with heavy slaughter, 300 men be- ing lost in the skirmish. On the 12th they were re-enforced by two regiments of | Grintas, from the garrison at Dos Caminos, and once more made an attack on the in- surgents’ lines. The Spanish troops had with them a field battery, which created havoc among the insurgents, forcing them to retreat. The entire tield hospital and a large quan- tity of stores fell into the hands of the regulars. The rebel loss was unknown, but it must have been very heavy. The Spanish lost 250 men. On the 14th a small body of rebels were overtaken by a superior body of Spanish cavalry near Puerto Principe. Daring the day both sides received re-enforcements, resulting in a pitched battle. The rebels were defeated, their loss being light. The Spanish loss was about 200 men. General Navarro claims that the whole of the in- surgents in the eastern part of the island are practically defeated and that they can- not hold out much longer. Inspite of this fact, preparationsare being made for an extensive fall campaign. MADRID, Searx, Oct. 17.—Queen Isaabel 11, now in Paris, has sent the following cablegram to General Martinez Campos, in reply toa cablegram sent her on her birth- day: ‘“‘More than ever I thank you for your kind congratulations. You know that my heart accompanies you. Iask God to protect you and give you victory. Ever your sincere and grateful friend, Isabel.” On the 30th inst. the Duke of Tamames sails for Cuba. One report says that he will take command of a regiment of vol- unteers. Another that he goeson an im- portant political mission. Several Cabinet meetings have been held at the residence of the Premier, Senor Canovas del Castillo. They were devoted to the Cuban question. Itis announced that 12,000 troops will start for Cuba October 22 FLAGS FOR THE POPE. Old Glory Will Soon Be Displayed at the Fatican. . NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 17.—When the American piigrims had their audience with Pope Leo in last August they carried into the Vatican three American flags. These they left as souvenirs of their visit. at the shrines at Loretto, at Lourdes and’ at Paray le Monial. The flags were blessed by the Pope and he expressed his great pleasure at their beauty, the bright colors especially attracting the eye. He expres: regret that the pilgrims did not bring a flag for him also, as he de- sired to have one for the Vatican. This desire he was told would be satisfied as s00n as the pilgrims got home. In accordance with this promise, the Brooklyn Catholic Young Women’s Asso- ciation, of which the Rev. Edward W. Me- Carthy piritual director, will have two elaborate silk flags made of regulation size and texture, and will forward them to Rome, where they will be offered as a Christmas gift to the Pope. They will be hung as portieres in the passageway lead- ing to the Pope's private apartments, Mrs. F. H. Throop of Clermont avenue, who was one of the organizers of both the American pilgrimages, is a member of the Catholic Women’s Association, and for its work a special blessing from the Pope was obtained. The official document stating this is to be framed and hung in the club- house in Garfield place. £ WITH TRE BILLS. MADE OFFW An Old Trick Successully Worked by a | Sneak Thief. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 17.—G. G. Lane, the venerable cashier of the Maritime Ex- change, made a deposit at the Corn Ex- change Bank at noon yesterday, then drew a check for §219. He walked over to the window opposite, placed his roll on the window sill, put on his glasses and began to count the bills. A well-dressed stranger who stood at a desk near by, apparently drawing a check, called Lane’s attention to a one-dollar bill on thetloor at his feet, and as Lane stooped to pick it up snatched up a roll of $300 that Lane had counted, threw Mr. Lane off hls feet and dashed for the door. Although Emmvfly foilowed he succeeded in making is escape. The old sneak Thomas Byrnes deseribed in ica,” as one of the most venerable tricks of bank sneaks, had been successfully prac- ticed in New York’s financial center at the busiest hour of the day. Not a policeman or detective appeared for twenty-five min- utes. Then it was too late. It has been many years since a bank sneak has at- tempted to operate below the dead line which Byrnes established at Fulton street. —— KILLED BY INDIANS. Two American Miners Said to Have Per- ished in Mewico. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct.17.—A special from Hermositlo, Mexico, says that George T. Harrison and J. Baker, mining men from Colorado, arrived there ten days ago and left for the Yaqui Indian country, where they had been told were to be found rich gold mines. A Mexican guide accom- panied them. The guide returned to Her- mosillo vesterday and reports that they met the Yaqui Indians 100 miles southeast. The Indians fired, killing both the Ameri- cans. The guide claims that he was kept & prisoner for two days and then released, after first being admonished never to visit the country again. The guide is suspected of having murdered and robbed the Ameri- cans. e Coming in a Freightcar. NEW HAVEN, Conx Oct. 17.—Harry S. Welch, son of D. M. Welch of this city, has started for Los Angeles, Cal., in a freightcar to visit his father’s estate. In one end of the car box-stalls were built for two horses which he takes along. Next to them are two carriages. The reat of the space is carpeted and arranged for living purposes. A window was made in one side and a stove and other convenient arti- cles were put in. Welch’s bed is a sailor’s nammock. He has not forgotten to pro- vide himself with a well-selected library. The car will go by the Boston and Albany, the Baltimore and Ohio and the Santa Fe routes. MIOREY MEN OF AMERICA, NTERESTING SPEECHES MADE AT THE ASSOCIATION OF BANKERS. ST. JoHN oF NEW YORK ARGUED FOR A DOUBLE STANDARD AND COINAGE OF SILVER. ATLANTA, GA., Oct.17.—The American Bankers’ Association elected officers to- day. E. H. Pullen of New York was chosen president and R. J. Low:y of At- lanta vice-president. The features to-day were the speeches made by W. P. St. John of New York and Edward Atkinsdn of g Mr. St. John argued for a double Yo standard and opening of the mints again to silver. Mr. Atkinson spoke first. Mr. St. John, who is president of the Mercantile National Bank of New York, replying to Mr. Atkinson, said that accord- ing to Mr. Atkinson current antagonisms as to money are due to distinctly different schools of finance. He condemned Mr. Atkinson’s charge of injustice to the cred- itor in granting the debtor the option of coins with which to pay and resented the suggestion of a silver basisin the United States as the result of reopening the mints to silver, but said that if the silver basis ensues it may enable us to duplicate the experience of India. India’s foreign com- merce, according to Mr. St. John, estab- lishes a credit balance of trade approach- ing $190,000,000, which pays her gold liabilities of $110,000,000 and draws $35.- 000,000 of silver and $25,000,000 of gold from the trading world in settlement. The suggested exhaustiess supplies of silver are to be met, he claimed, with 2 supposed exhaustless supply of gold in 1853. He claimed that theé object of the bimetallists is to enlarge the world’s ag- gregate of money, while the world’s ag- gregate of everything else is enlarging, and said that the tendency of that would be to provide producers a fair share of the wealth which they produce, the result be- ing a tendency in law toward the dissem- ination rather than toward the aggrega- tion of wealth. He thonght that inde- pendent bimetallism in the United States would be successful if attempted under present conditions, foreign and domestic, and at the present ratio of about 16 to 1.

READING, PA., Oct. 17.—Detective Dorr called on Mayor Shanaman yesterday and arrested him on a warrant issued by Alder- man Eby. Information had also been out against Chief of Police Cullen, bat as he is in Buffalo he has not yet been arrested. The information was sworn out by Eli H. Goodhart, who is a farmer residing in lower Alsace Township. He alleges that a party of six men, among whom were ayor Shanaman, Chief Cullen and others he did not know, *‘entered his field, trod down the grassand otherwise injured it by playing ‘duck and drake.” They also knocked from a tree and took away chestnuts.,” The Mayor appeared before Alderman Eby and en- tered $300 bail for appearance on Monday at2r M. S BOTH MAY USE “ DEMOCRAT.” Ruling of the Nebraska Supreme Court on a Controversy. LINCOLN, NeBr., Oct. 17.—The ruling of Secretary of State Piper that each fac- tion of the Democratic party in Nebraska, free silver and hard money, had an equai right to the use of the word *‘Democrat” in designating candidates on the official ballot, was sustained by the Supreme Court to-day. The free-silver wing had brought suit to enjoin its rivals from ap- pearing under that designation, and the injunction was denied. The court declares that it is neither the province of the Secre- tary of Btate nor of the judiciary to deter- mine the question of which is right or wrong in a case which is purely political. Justice Post intimated that the present law was defective and must be remedied. P (i Burning of a Steam Barge.

SLAUGHTER OF ARMENIANS BY DESPERATE Mos- LEM MoOBS, SOLDIERS IN THE WORK. THEY FIRED ON THE PERSECUTED PEOPLE AND HELPED IN THE MASSACRE. SOME TURKS IN OPPOSITION. THE BETTER CLASSES SHELTERED WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN THEIR HousEs. LONDON, ExG., Oct. 17.—The Daily News will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Constantinople giving a description by an eyewitness of the rioting at Trebi- zond. He says that four separate Moslem mobs surrounded the Armenian head- quarters at 11 o’clock on the morning of October 8 and began to pillage the shops. Being opposed, they fired on the Armeni- ans, and soon a general massacre began. Soldiers joined the mob in firing on the Armenians and in pillaging the shops and houses. The scene continued until 4 o’clock in the afternoon, when nothing was left to pillage and nobody remained to be killed. The mob then began to dis- perse. The better class of Turks did their best to protect the lives of the Armenians. They sheltered the women and children and many men in their houses. The mob attacked only the orthodox Armenians, leaving Catholics alone. Only two non- Armenians were killed, both being Greeks. One of these was within a kahn, where resistance led to the killing of all the in- mates, numbering fifty-five. No women or children were killed in the town. At 6 o’clock the Governor and other offi- cials appeared upon the scene, and the Governor proclaimed that anybody found armed would be arrested and summarily punished. Leading Turks obtained per- mission for the Armenians to lodge in the barracks, where military protection was given them, it being feared there might be a renewal of the disorders during the night. An official return places the number of the dead at 180, but well-informed persons place it at between 400 and 500. On the same day, October 8, several vil- lages outside of Trebizond were burned and pillaged and many persons were killed. Other villages were partly looted. The efforts of the officials and influential Turks saved many lives. After matters had quieted down the foreigners returned ‘to their homes from the ships on which they had taken refuge. By October 13, when the eyewitness left, nearly all the foreign and native refugees had returned. _ THE SULTAN YIELDS. Agrees to Sijn the Reform Scheme of the Powers. LONDON, Ex6., Oct. 17.—The Chronicle to-morrow will publish a Constantinople dispatch saying that the Sultan gave an audience to his Ministers early on Wednes- day. They implored him to sign the scheme of reform submitted by the powers, and his Majesty at last gave way and con- sented to do so. While one part of the populace has been pacified by the an- nouncement of the acceptance of the scheme, there is great excitement in Con- stantinople proper, where there are strong signs of popular feeling against the scheme. The Softas, Mohammedan theo- logical students, are crowding together from all directions. Patrols of soldiers are stationed at every hundred yards about the city. e MANY ARMENIANS RELEASED. Work of the Commission of Inquiry Ap- pointed by the Porte. LONDON, ExG., Oct 17.—A dispatch from Constantinople dated yesterday says that the commission appointed by the Porte to inquire into the guilt or inno- cence of the Armenians who have been ar- Tested since September 30 has caused the release of forty-seven of the prisoners, who are declared to be innocent of any com- plicity in the rioting. The dispatches add that the police be- lieve that several leaders of the rioters, in- cluding some members of the Armenian revolutionary committee, are concealed ir the churches of the city. Itis now stated that the number of persons who were killed during the present rioting at Trebi- zond was 400. The disorders there were promptly quelled. T0 BE GIVEN A WIFE. Korea’s Ring Will Be Provided with a New Queen. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 13.—A special cable dispatch to the Herald from Seoul, Korea, says: The King will be provided with a new Queen to-day.

ARRESTED BELGIUM. Capture of the Burglars Who Escaped From New ¥ork. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 17.—A special to the Herald from Washington says: “Harry” Russell, one of the notorious postoffice burglars who startled the coun- try by their sensational escape from the Ludlow-street Jail, in New York, on July 4, has been arrested in Bruges, Belgium. Two other men and a woman were ar- rested with him and these men are sup- nosed to be “Joe” Killoran and ‘‘Charlie’’ Allen, who were arrested with Russell and escaped from jail with him. Secretary O{nc_v sent_a cablegram this afternoon to Minister Ewing in Brussels, directing him to request the Belgian au- thorities to hold all of the men until the arrival of an officer from the United States who could identify them. The Belgian officials will, doubtless, com- ply with this request, and Russell and his companions, if they are Killoran and Allen, will be behind the bars in this coun- try again as soon as the necessary proceed- ings for their extradition can be taken. g Judge for Quebec. OTTAWA, O»T., Oct. 17.—At a meeting of the Dominion Cabinet this afternoon Solicitor-General Carran was appointed Judge of the Superior Court for the pro- vince of Quebec. READY FOR THE NUPTILS Gossip of the Approaching Vanderbilt-Marlborough Marriage. Gowns Worth a King’s Ramson Being Imported From Paris. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 17.—Miss Con- suelo Vanderbilt, whose wedding with the Duke of Marlborough is now quite close at hand, is passing her time very quietly. She accompanies her mother, Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, to the new residence at Madi- son avenue and Seventy-second street frequently, though she does not remain there long. Mrs. Vanderbilt is overseeing the placing of furniture, tapestries, pic- tures and hangings in the house every day, and has but little time to spare. The Duke dines with Mrs. Vanderbilt and his flancee every evening, either in their pri- vate dining-room at the Savoy or in com- pany with Oliver H. P. Belmont at the Waldorf. Of the 4000 wedding cards issued a fair proportion went to different families of the English nobility. The entire British diplomatic corps stationed at Washington will be preserit, including the Embassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote, Lady Pauncefote and their family. Lord and Lady Gough will also attend. Although not yet settled the impression is that Lord Westmeath of higher rank than any other single man of the Embassy, will be one of the ushers. Naturally every one at this wedding will be desirous of retaining some souvenir of the occasion. Mrs. Vanderbilt has con- sidered this point and has, it is said, made some admirable selections. Miss Consuelo has never Jooked prettier than when in public of late. At the little family dinners or at the theater she has been very becomingly attired in deep rose color (her favorite hue), old blue or em- pire green, with chic French hats. At regular intervals, when on this side of the water, new installments of French finery are sent from the leading Parisian houses ts Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter. Besides the important wedding gown and the outfit for the bridal trip nothing what- ever will be done 1n regard to a troussean before the wedding. Apropos of the bridal costume a prominent woman secially said to-day that Mrs. Vanderbilt had two bridal gowns sent over' from Paris for her daughter, one a magnificent affair suited to a great heiress and the future Duchess of Marlborough. On this the lace is worth a King’s ran- som. The veil is wide and long enough to be caught way back on the dainty head of the young bride and to sweep down to the very border of the long train of superb satin. When this is worn some of the finest diamond ornaments 1n the world will ornament the corsage and coiffure. The other wedding gown is of the youth- ful style, dainty, exquisite of make and simple to a degree. With this a full tulle veil will be worn and the emblematic orange blossom wreath. SR Denies All the Charges. NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 17.—Jerome K. Coulter, whose arrest was telegraphed last night, charged with embezzlement while acting as Deputy City Treasurer of Omabha, disclaims having committed any offense against the Jaw, and says the charge against him is the result of & politi- cal fight. When his term of office expired he was without employment, and left Omaha in search of work. There was no charge against him when he left, and many persons in Omaha have been advisea of his whereabouts since leaving there. He is willing to go back without a requisition. s e Killed by an Ezplosion. CHICAGO, ILn., Oct. 17.—By the ex- plosion of a dynamite blast in the ruins of the Manufactures building on the World’s Fair grounds at noon to-day Samuel Hobart, a laborer, residing at Sixty-third and Halstead streets, was matlntli( 1led. Hobart’s head was blown off. e was three plocks away from the scene of the explosion. The men employed in tearing down the building were sitting close tothe building eating their iunch when the ex- plosion occurred. The cause of the ex- plosion is unknown. - Has Gone to Europe. MEMPHIS, Tess., Oct. 17.—A. K. Ward, secretary, treasurer and manager of the Memphis Barrel and Heading Com- pany, has been missing since last Tuesday, and it is thought he has gone to Europe. He is accompanied by his wife. Ward has forged the namesof relatives and business friends who were'potent with bankers and other money-lenders, the aggregate amount of paper outstanding being be- tween $50,000 and $100,000. Much of this paper is said to pe floating in New York and other money centers through brokers. — Strike of Stonecutters. KANSA8 CITY, Mo, Oct. 17.— The stonecutters who have been preparing granite for the new Government building at the Dugan stoneyards went op a strike this morning. About eighty stonecutters and twenty helpers are out. The men de- mand that toey be paid twice a month instead of once a month, which has been the custom since the work ‘was begun. Contractor George Dugan refused to make this concession, and the men quit. The stone already cut will be laid. This will ive about a month’s work for the stone- ayers at the building, and then all work will cease throughout the winter. Sre oo e Resignation of McKenna. ST. PAUL, Mi~x., Oct. 17.—Eaward C. McKenna, general superintendent of the Great Northern Railway lines, late this afternoon tendered to Manager Warren his resignation, to take effect November 1. READY FOR CONGRESS, STATESMEN ARE ALREADY ARRIVING AT THE CAPITAL, REED IS HARD AT WORK. PREPARING A LIST OF HOUSE COMMITTEES AND CHOICE CHAIRMANSHIPS, LOUD AND HILBORN'S CHANCES. GOSSIP AT THE PROBABLE REPUB- LICAN REORGANIZATION OF THE SENATE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct.=17.—In less than six weeks Congress meets again, and a number of Senators and Representatives are already on hand. It is reported that Mr. Reed, in contemplation of his election as Speaker, is already at work on his com- mittee assignments. His work is being done very quietly at his home in Portland, Me., for of course he cannot take counsel with members of Congress at this time, as this, in advance of his election, would be considered presumptuous. But some of his intimate friends have lately visited him in the interest of themselves—iriends who seek choice committee places. It is believed that two chairmanships will go to California. Mr. Loud is ranking member of an important committee and is entitled to this assignment by reason of his service and familiarity with the duties. He also ranks first on the Committee of Claims, and will probably be chairman of either one or the other. It is understood that Mr. Bowers would like the chairman- ship of the Committee on Military Affairs, on which he served last Congress. | Mr. Hilborn having served a greater part of last Congress before he was unseated, cannot'be regarded as a new member, and will doubtless apply for some chairman- ship. The Committee of Immigration ana Naturalization would probably suit his taste, but in the Fifty-third Congress he served on the District of Columbia Com- mittee, and may be so reassigned. Heisa friend of Mr. Reed, being a native of Reed’s State, and knew him in California when Reed was a schoolteacher and law student in the early days. Republican leaders are divided on the question of reorganizing, or attempting to reorganize, the Senate. Senator Chandler and others of that ultra type are spoils- men, and want every crumb of Senate patronage, and oppose Senator Sherman’s conservatism. Senator Proctor said to THE CALL correspondent to-day : *‘It seems to me that it will be necessary for Republicansto reorganize the Senate. But there has been no arrangement, un- derstanding or correspondence upon that subject so far as 1 am aware. I do not un- derstand, as has been suggested in some quarters, that there was an agreement among Republican Senators at the close of the last session that there should be no re- organization of the Senate at this session, except by Republican votes. If there was an agreement of that kind I was not a party to it. Republicans may not care to resume the responsibility for reorganiza- tion of the Senate under existing condi- tions, but as a matter of fact they cannot avoid the consequences of their plurality. The plurality of the Senate, for that mat- ter, practically carries control with it. Con- trol of the Senate, of course, would give to the Republicans power to initiate legisla- tion, which would be an advantage. I do not think that the question of patronage is likely at all to enter into this matter. There certainly has been no indication of any contest upon the part of Republican Senators on that question. “I have heard nothing of any rivalries of that kind which are spoken of in the newspapers, There certainly is nothing | in the suggestion that there will be an attempt, if the Republicans shail re- organize the Senate, to depose Senator Morrill from the chairmanship of the Committee on Finance. He is the senior Republican of that committee, and if the Republicans should regain control of the Senate he would undoubtedly be given the chairmanship, which he held at the time the Republicans lost the Senate. “I certainly do not see how the Demo- crats can desire or expect to control the Senate so long as they will not have a majority which would make that control effective. And there is no probability that they will secure such a majority. The only way in which the Democrats could secure control of the Senate would be by combining with all of the Populists. That seems to be allogether impracticable. It does not appear to me to be possible that the Populists as a body will co-operate with either party. This is only an as- sumption on my part. “I have no information as to the proba- ble action of the parties as a whole, or as to any one of them. Nor do I know what attitude Senators Jones and Stewart, of Nevada, will take, both of whom claim to be Populists. There have been recent re- ports that Senator Jones has abandoned his relations to the Populists and is likely to return to the Republicans. I do not know how that may be, or how accurate those reports are. As for Senator Stewart Idonot imagine that he is so embittered on account of silver controversies that he will act as a rule with the Democrats rather than with the Republicans. He is, of course, an intense silver man, and is the mainsiay of the silver party. But on all questions aside from those which relate to silver Senator Stewart, I should say, is an earnest Republican. He is certainly op- posed at heart and by his record to most of things for which Democrats stand except as regards silver.” CONGRATULATED MRS, STANFORD. Students and Professors of Palo Alto Sent a Telegram. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 17.—Mrs. Leland Stanford found great satisfaction to-day in a congratulatory telegram which she received from Palo Alto with reference to the favorable decision in her suit in San Francisco on Saturday last.

C., Oct. 17.—Secre- tary Carlisle is vexed at the inaction of the counsel for the sugar claimants, and yes- terday telegraphed to Senator Manderson that he would send Comptroller Bowler's opinion in the case of the Oxnard Beet- sugar Company to the United States Court of Claims by October 28, unless he set the date when he would appear and argue be- fore the Secretary of the Treasury the question of the jurisdiction of the Comp- troiler of the Treasury. To-day Senator Manderson replied from Omaha that he hoped to be in Washington to argue_the question by Novembe: 10. Senator Manderson says that he has no doubt Comptroller Bowler had no jurisdic- tion in the sugar bounty case. He asserts that to sehd the Comptroller's opinion to the Court of Claims for final decision with- out the consent of the claimants is unwar- ranted in law. Both points, Manderson contends, are unassailable, and he will so hold in his argument before Secretary Car- lisle. < GENERAL MILES HONGRED, GIVEN A FLATTERING RECEPTION BY THE ARMY AND NAVY CLUB. Norep MEN oF ALL RANK Pay THEIR RESPECTS TO THE COMMANDER. WASBHINGTON, D. C.; Oct. 17.—General Nelson A. Miles, commanding the United States army, was given a flattering recep- tion by the Army and Navy Club of this city, at their spacious rooms this evening.

Y., Oct. 17. L. Waller, wife of the former United Consul to Madagascar, arrived in this city to-day on the Dutch steamship Amster- dam. She was accompanied by her three daughters and young son.
