S AUSTIN, Tex., June 3.—Bishop W. Derby Johnson Jr., who has charge of the Mormon Church work of the sev- eral large Mormon colonies in Mexico, is in the City of Mexico perfecting the details of a concession which he is to be granted by the Mexican Government for the construction of 1500 miles of railroad in that country. He has also obtained from the Mexican Govern- gl | ment on behalf of the Mormon Church a grant of an additional tract of 100,000 acres of land upon which several large Mormon colonies are to be located. Bishop Johnson says the building of the railroad is assured and a number of wealthy Mormon bankers of Utah are interested. The project has the backing of a syndicate of New York and London capitalists. The southern terminus of the railroad being at Ameca Jalisco, it will open up a ter- ritory hitherto untraversed by any pack trains. The country is said to be marvelously endowed with natural agricultural and mineral wealth, From Ameca the road will run to the northwest to strike the city of Mazatlan on the Pacific Coast, which has never had a continental railroad connection and is accessible only by sea and overland stages. Turning to the northeast, the road will touch the city of Culican, the capital of Sinaloa. Going slightlv northeast through the States of Sinaloa and Sonora until it reaches the northern boundary of Chi- huahua, it will cut across the great divide and go direct to Cuidad, Jua- rez, connecting with the numerous rajl- roads which meet at El Paso. | | Spanish Minister to Morocco, was an VTV, ICAN CITIZEN WHOSE CAP. MOROCCO HAS ATIONS. 3 ) Europeans Insist France Is Not Interested. Special Dispatch to The Call. GENEVA, June 3.—A telegram just| received from a friend of Mr. Varley at Tangier says there is great uneasi- ness and indignation felt by the Eu- ropean population there, at the action of the United States in handing over the direction of affairs to France, which 1s not especially interested. Ralsoull has sent an ultimatum con- cernipg his demands and also a time limit for his answer. It is believed the lives of the captives are in the greatest danger, as it is realized that Raisouli is playing his last card to become a recognized chief or lose all. It As reported that Varley has offered to pay the ransom demanded to save the life of Perdicaris and himself, but the brigand lays greater stress on other conditions. Finally it is feared that neither England nor America realizes the critical state of ‘affairs nor the brigand’s determined character. WASHINGTON, June 3.—Senor Don Emils de Ojeda, Spanish Minister, X{ congratulating ‘himself that his wife and daughter were not involved in Perdicaris’ kidnaping at Tangler. Senor Ojeda, who for many years was intimate friend of Perdicaris and fre- quently visited at his villa, three miles outside of Tangler. Senor Ojeda, in April, received from his wife a letter stating that Perdicaris had asked her to spend the month of May at Tangier. Mme. Ojeda planned to accept the in- vitation, but subsequently the slight| {liness of her daughter inclined her to | postpone the trip. Otherwise she | would have been at the home of Perdi- caris when the bandits made their descent on the place, overpowered the servants, bound the women and seized Perdicaris and his - stepson.

Thibdeau met a fright- ful death in the mills at Bonner last night, his shirt sleeve catching on the set screw of a rapidly revolving fly- wheel, tearing his clothes-from him and dashing his naked body against the floor with sickening force every time the wheel revoived.

He is expected to | proceed to the Liaotung region shortly. | No further light has been thrown on | the rumors concerning General | —— Kuro- patkin's intentions. Dispatches in the Morning Post from Shanghai and te the Chronicle from Newchwang repeat the reports of the movement of 15,000 Russians to Kaiping. The correspond- ents assert that five days’ fighting took place at Wafangtien and ttat the Rus- sians are employing 4000 carts to re- move munitions from Liaoyang to Kal- yuen, seventy mfles north of Mukden. | The Post's Shanghai correspondent also says that General Mistchenko has sent 4000 cavalry of the Imperial Guard from Kuangchengtsu to cut off the Japanese at Pitzwo. No great reliance, however, shoyld be placed on these atches, which have evidently some common Chinese origin. | The Daily Mail's correspondent at Mukden, telegraphing under date of June 3, says that fighting occurs daily beyond Liaoyang. but that a decisive battle is not expected for some time. The Japanese plan of campaign is re- | garded at Mukden as now “aving been definitely disclosed. They occupy the Liaotung Peninsula in three divisions between Nengalen (Nakwanling) and | Watangtien, with a line of communica- tion by the coast to their pesition at | Fengwangcheng. The Standard’'s Toklo correspondent mentions the discredited rumor that General Stoessel proposed a surrender on the condition that the whole of the Port Arthur garrison should be permit- ted to retire to Newchwang under arms, SNt MR COSSACKS ON MARCH. SEOUL, Korea, June 3, 5 p. m.—It is reported that 300 Cossacks are moving n Pingyang from the ‘east coast of Korea. The nature of the country through which the Cossacks must pass practically prohibits travel except by the regular roads, which at the best are mere mountain trails. ‘While there is no absolute“confirma- tion of the report that Japanese Minis- ter Hayashi is to visit Japan soon, yet it is believed to be probable, as the Japanese Government undoubtedly wishes to consult him. Owing to his long diplomatic residence in Korea, Minister Hayashi is regarded as a most competent authority on prevail- ing conditions in Seoul. The Japanese legation has already submitted to the home Government suggestions on a future policy to be pursued by Japan toward Korea. The Tokio Cabinet's present consid- eration of the peninsula problem, it is hoped, will shortly result in outlining plans for future relations with Korea.
