WASHINGTON, Nov. 2—The Chinese | Legation is without advices bearing out ! the Peking report of the decision to recall | Minister Wu. At the same time there is | He is | no disinclination at the legation to accept the report as true for two reasons. First; the omicial dispatch in such matters al- | most in’ biy is a day or two later than the press dispatch, as occurred in the case Minis- ter Wu's predecessor, and second, the pre- scribed term of three years of Minister | Wu expired some months ago. It w ated at the legation to-night that there were no Peking dispatches | awaiting the Minister's return. There have been rumors for some time that Wu would be recailed. So far the gossip from | the Chinese court has mentioned two ' names as possible successors. These are | Tseng, Li_Hung Chang’s interpreter, and | Li Cheng Fang, a son of that Viceroy. The | latter is about 30 years old. Cheng Teye, appointed to the Chinese | Embassy at the court of St. James, was | a secretary of the special embassy sent | to Tokio to expiate the assassination of | the Chancellor of the Japanese Legation ! at Peking. Sir Lo Fen Loh, whom he| succeeds, was not thought to_have been | slated for the transfer to St. Petersburg. | TOLEDO, O., Nov. 2.—Chinese Minister Wu was in this city while en route to Ann Arbor, Mich., where he spoke Friday | night.” Senator Hanna met him at the station and in the course of a conversa- tion said: “Wu, you are getting too popular over here. T hear that your countrymen are getting jealous and are going to make it} hot for you.” i “*Ah, you do not understand our people. | We are a queer people” sald Wu, and then adroitly changed the subject. Min- ister Wu passed through this city at 9 o'clock to-night on his return trip to Washington.

Sesgi LONDON, Nov. 2.—Edward S. Stokes died this afternoon at the home of his sis- ter, Mrs. McNutt. Before a severe at- tack, which came while he was traveling in Canada, Stokes had for some.time been in failing health. He was very low ten days ago, but rallied only to sink again. He began failing last night and his strengtn slowly ebbed away to the end this alternoon. { Edward 8. Stokes-was for a time, some | thirty years ago, tne most talked-of man in America. tie had killed the celebrated | financter, Jim Kisk, Jay Gould's partner, | Who Laa been his friend and patron, and | kilied mm for a woman, tne notorious Josie Mansfield, 21 Stokes was of good birth and breeding, | and was a Wall-street cierk when Fisk| met and took a fancy to him, taking him in time as a visitor to the ‘I'wenty-third street palace in which he had instaiued toe | Mansfield woman, and where nignt after | night he and his’ friends held high revel | without count of cost. Stokes became infatuated with the woman, and she ap- peared at least to be fond of him. Fisk became aware of the deceit of one and the treachery of the other. - He made war on Stokes and ruined him financiaily. Stokes, with the Mansfield woman's as- sistance, retaliated. Both were indicted at the instance of Fisk for blackmail. Then came the climax, January 6, 1872. Stoxes twice shot and fatally wounded | 1Yisk, who died the next day. Stokes was | three times tried and finally convicted of manslaughter in the third degree, and ac- cepting the finding went to prison, and | after serving four years was pardoned in 1877. With the remains of the fortune | that he had made under Fisk’s tutelage he embarked after a time in the saloon business, and his place, the Hoffman House, became a famous resort for sports generally. His business grew enormously, and in the course of eight or ten years he was rated among the millionaires of Gotham. He becanfe a power in Tam- many, but at the same time kept from public view and avoided notoriety, espe- clally shunning that class of women of whom the text says ‘“‘her feet take hold on hell.” As he lay dying, however, came one Rosamond Langdon Barclay, claim- ing to be his wife. Stokes lost largely some few years ago in various speculations, but "doubtless leaves what in any other city than New York might be called a large fortun L e e e an . ] MEXICO HOLDS BACK INTEREST Virtually Ignores Claim of Catholic Church of California. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—Archbishop | Riordan of San Francisco is in Wash- ington, and with Archbishop Ireland he has called upon the President. It is understood that one of the purposes of his visit is to induce the Government ot the United States to renew its effarts to secure the payment by the Mexican Gov- ernment to the Catholic church of Cal fornia of more than $1,000,000 due to tha church on account of what is known as the “pious fund.” Before the acquisition of Upper California by the United States the Catholic churches of Upper and Low- er California bad on deposit with the Mexican Government money and property aggregating a very large total, upon which the Mexican Government obliged to pay the churches a certain an- nual interest. In the case of the church of Upper California this interest amount- ed to almost $50,000 annually. The interest payments ceascd after the Mexican war, but after the lapse of twenty years a claim on behalf of the church for interest unpaid came before the Mexican Claims Commission, which allowed the claim. But since that date, although the award there have been no further payments of interest, and the present purpose is to press for a settlement of this interest ac. count. Negotiations have been proceed- ing in a way between Washington and Mexico for some years past, but thers have been no exchanges of recent date. The Mexican Government has not shown any disposition to avoid a settlement, but bases its failure so far to pay interest on the broad ground that the award by the Mexican Claims Commission to the claim- ants of a sum aggregating nearly $100,- 000,000 acted legally as a settilement in full. Presidential Appointments. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2—The President to-day made the following appointments- War—Chatles B. Nichols, surgeon of volunteers, rank of major; Joseph Her- | rin, captain of cavairy; James B. Mitch- ell, captain of artillery corps; George (" Broome and Willis C. Métcalf, first liet tenants, Porto Rico provisional regiment of infantry; Charles Andrews, surge;lgx)r volunteers, ‘rank of major; Kugene Van N. Bissel, second lieutenant of cavalry. SALEY INQURY 5 NEARLY Ove Public Sessions to Soon Conclude. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—Admiral Dewey | called on President Roosevelt to-day but did not discuss with him the Schley court of inquiry except to tell the Presiden: that the public sessions of the court would be concluded in a few days. “When we begin to sift the testimony," said theadmiral, “out real work will be gin. 1 told Secretary Long when he asked me to become president of the court that I would rather go through another battle in Manila Bay. The hardest par: of the work will be wading through the mass of testimcny and reaching our con- clusions. I have two able assoclates, however, and realize that we are on trial before the couniry as well as Admiral Schley. Two abler, better men could not have been secured than Admirals Ben- ham and Ramsay.” Admiral Dewey said that the court probably would take up each paragraph of the precept nnd render such an opinion as may be cailed for. He did not know that this would be done, as he had nct discussed the case with®his associates. but it had occurred to him that this woul 1 be a good plan. He felt, he said, that the American people would want the court's reasons in detail and were entitled to know them.

Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 2—While com- munication has been established with the brigands and the safety of Miss Stone Las been satisfactorily determined, scme delay in her release is apt to atise be- cause of the difficulty in communicating with her abductors, The ransom fund has been increased, the authorities have been informed. Ty $1000, making the total available for her rescue $66,000. There is little prospect that additions will be made to this sum. hg Boston board of misslons will not col’*flbule additional funds and the Gov- ernfhent has no appropriation from which to draw for the balance. The briganls must therefore accept §$66,000 or nothing, and the authorties be- lieve that they will prefer the former alternative. No dispatches were received by the State Department from Eddy, the secretary of the American Legation, or Dickinson, Consul General at Sofia, show- ing that further communication has not been had with the brigands. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 2.—The let- ter received from Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary referred to in these dispatches yesterday, which it is said was written” two_ days previously, turns out to be a few hurried lines on a scrap of paper received at Samakov a Wweelk ago, but written a month before ‘hat in which Miss Stone wrote of the ap- proaching expiration of the date, October 8 fixed for the payment of the ransom demanded by the brigands, and asked lier friends to hurry up the money. The missionaries who are working for Miss Stone's release belleve she is still alive. Failure of a Silk Company . BOSTON, Nov. 2.—Judge Colt of the United States Circuit Court for this dis- trict has appointed Theodore Phylus King of Quincy and Edmunds Putney of New York receivers of the Eureka Sllk Com- pany, which has offices in this city and a factory at Canton.

KILLS COUPLE AND HIMGELF Admiral Dewey Expects|Jealousy Causes a Man to Commit Murder and Suicide. AMSTERDAM, N. Y., Nov. 2.—Fred- erick Bankert at 2 o’clock this morning killed William Green by shooting him in the neck with a revolver and splitting his head open with a hatchet. Bankert also shot Mrs. Green and cut her head open with the hatchet, inflicting fatal wounds, and then shot himself through the heart, dying instantly. Bankert gained entrance to Green's apartments by climbing up a rope ladder on the outside of the building and enter- ing a window. He was a suitor of Mrs. Green before her marriage, but his love ‘was unrequited. For this reason he shot her on. November 23, 1895, and cut her with a razor, but she recovered from her ‘wounds. For this crime Bankert was sent to State prison, and was released from there about six months ago. Mrs. Green died at 4 o’clock this after- noon. She was formerly Miss Cora B. Harrison. She was an accomplished amateur actress and a handsome and at- tractive woman, 26 years old. Bankert was 30 and Green was 22. .

OMAHA, Nov. 2—A dispatch received in this city from Harrison, Nebr., is to the effect that an organization of the cat- tlemen of that vicinity is being effected to co-operate with the cattlemen and sheepmen of Wyoming in opposition to a bill providing for the leasing of Govern- ment lands. The Omaha Commercial Club has by resolution announced its opposition to the measure. It has been stated that Senator Millard of Nebraska will introduce the bill, but in an interview to-day Senator Millard declares that he has not yet de- H cided whether or not he will present the measure. Senator Dietrich has announced his support of the measure. The National Irrigation Congress, on the other hand, is opposing it. It is understood here that a bill has been prepared by a prominent livestock man in the western part of the State which has met the approval of the interests which are supporting the bill, and that this is the bill which will be pre- sented. The interests which are behind the measure are the large cattle and sheep raisers of Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and Montana. ———— Of Interest to People of the Coast WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—Postmasters commissioned, Californfa—Nettie M.

LONDON, Nov. 2—When such serious and ultra-respectable papers as the Lon- don Times and Lancet deem it advisable to display announcements that King Ed- ward is not ill it can be reasonably de- ducted that a very general impression to the opposite prevailed among those upper classes by which these papers are read. There is Teason to believe that the King was suffering within the last few days from an ulcerated throat, which those closely attached to him, especiallf the women of his own family, feared must be the forerunner of cancer. According to the prenouncements of the doctors, their fears are unfounded. But King Edward is prohibited from smoking and is forbidden the use of any alcoholics. Whether the physicians are concealing the truth even from the royal patient and his family is a secret history alone can reveal, but it is evident from the King’s public appear- ances that there is nothing very immi- nently dangerous in his condition. i { T This splendid “Sterling” made Barlor Svite $17.50 Our own good “trashy, Eastern factory” kind.
