em-upe of 2,000 prisoners from Sitieria.
The men were employed in the construc
tion of the Siberian railway, and had, as
iate developments proved, been planning
escape for several months. Meager ad
vices received at Yokohama are that the
men overpowered the Russian soldiers,
who were guarding them, and securing
all the arms they could, fled. When last
heard of they were making their way
towards Corea, and it is believed they
are now safely within the borders of
that conntry, trying to secure passage to
more distant part. The R unman gov

Corean officials to assist in the capture
of the refugees, and to hand them over

Fkisko, Cal , Sept. '. II. V. Lind
ley, sueriiitendent of the New Citizen
mine, has been arrested and taken to
Madera on a charge of perjury, made in
connection with the character of the
mine. According to the report, Lindsey
and Charles A. Lee, of FlainDeld, N. J.,
were partners in the New Citizen mine
at Ieadwood, near Coarse Gold. Lind
sey sent to Lee, at I'laiutield, a state
ment made before notary public that
rock taken from the mine went $43 per
ton. It is claimed that no ore has been
taken from the mine and worked, as
alleged in the affidavit, and that Lind
sey made the statement to defraud the
foreign stockholders. Lindsey refused
to make any statement until the matter
was bronght up in court. There are a
numler of other allegations against him
among them of raising pay checks and
of becoming engaged to a young lady at

recently sent $2o0,000 to London to pur
chase the bonds which Portugal ia ex
pected to issue as soon a the Berne ar

from Pretoria said the Transvaal gov

Mer Haaband Uralea the Story.
STotaToK, Cal., Sept. 20. The man
Janerro, who is accused by hit wife of
having bound her hands and feet in her
house, and then, having set the building
on fire, returned to this city today from
Fresno. He was at once placed under
arrest. It is hightv probable, however,
that Janerro had nothing to do with the
fire, and the supposition that the woman
tied herself and fired her house seems to
have gained confirmation by the appear
ance of Janerro. He declares he knew
nothing of the matter until informed by
the arresting officer, and gives a good
sci-onr.t of Ihm whereabouts. He claims
he was working in the vineyard of Mr.
tirudy, in Fresno county. Today the
woman was brought face to face with
the man whom sl.e anusee, but the
' stuck to her story in every particular.
She is probably actuated by hatred of
the man she once loved.

A SCEXE OF INTENSE EXCITEMENT

io. MrKluley In Ohio.
Sakatoua, Sept. 2ii. The committee
on platform for two hours discussed the
indorsement of the tariff and the prop
osition advanced by Mr. Sheehan to con
demn the income tax. Bourke Cochran
declared that under no cirennetances
should the party indorse the tariff bill
as a whole. Instead it should declare
for some of the features. This caused a
long wrangle, which continued until
time for the convention to assemble. As
it will be presented today, the platform
will be unchanged from what it was last
night, ns reported by the Associated
Press.
Just as the convention was about to
convene, a new name was added to the
gulernatoriai candidates, Judge Barn
hard, of Poughkeepsie.
Senator Hill called the convention to
order at 1 :50.
The committee on contested delega
tions decided in Uvor of all the sitting
delegations, except in the case of Monroe
county, for which the representation is
divided equally between two delegates,
each having half a vote. The Shepard
people from King's county left the ball.
With this exception the greatest good
humor characterized the adoption of
the committee's report, and when
some routine business had been dis
posed of the convention was ready to
nominate candidates for the governor
ship. The report of the committee on per
manent organization recommending Sen
Senator Hill for permanent chairman was
received and adopted. Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan, chairman of the
committee on platform, pleading a cold,
handed up the platform to tie read by
the clerk. The platform is the same as
sent in the dispatches iaet night, with
the plank expressing regret that the in
come tax was passed.
Galen R. Hitt proposed Thatcher for
the office in a highly eulogistic speech.
After Hitt had finished, Delegate Rey
nolds, from Allegheny, arose and said :
"Mr. Chairman, I desire from Alle
gheny county to put in nomination our
first and only choice, David Bennett
Hill."
In an instant there was pandemonium.
Tfie delegates were standing ou chairs,
crowding the aisles, shoving toward the
platform yelling themselves hoarse, and
shouting "Hill, Hill." The senator
stood pounding the gavel, his face pale
and his lips shut. He hammered vigor
ously, but as tie did so the din increased.
"Three cheert for the next governor of
the state," shouted a man in the rear,
and up went a mighty ehout. After
five minutes of this remarkable seine
there was tome order restored, and Hill
said :
"I am grateful to the democrats f"r
this showing of their good will and their
aith, but I cannot accept the nomina
tion you offer me."
"I must say no to you," declared Hill.
Again the tumult broke out and again
Hill was unable to stop it. He banged
hit gavel, and appealed to the band to
play. The band played, but its music
was drowned by the shouting of the del
egates. Colonel Fellowe got recognition
and asked that the clerk be authorized
to call the roll of counties. This was
done, and when Columbia, Kings and
Lewis were reached the delegates
shouted "Hill." When New York was
reached Senator Guy arose. He said it
was time for the party to turn around
and look out for a man that could un
doubtedly lead them to victory, They
must have a giant to snatch victory from
the jawt of defeat. He paid a remarka
ble tribute to Senator Hill, and then the
tumult increased.
Bourke Cochran obtained the plat
form, and when he could be heard, said :
"Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the
convention : When the life of the nation
it at stake and the laws which govern itt
existence are Incapable of defending the
rights of itt citizens the moment comet
when all restraints must be thrown aside
and the supreme right of revolution in
voked. F'or the first timesince the pres
ent presiding officer of this convention
assumed the leadership of the democratic
party of this state, I am in revolt against
him, and ask this convention to disregard
his decision and place upon bis sense of
duty the acceptance of a nomination
w hich he does not desire as a favor at
its hands." (Applause).
"I am aware there is no honor the state
of New York can confer upon its distin
guished ton which is not already his,
won by honest battle in defense of pop
ular rights and democratic principles, but
I believe there comes a time in the his
tory of every man when the difficulties
that surround him are opportunities
upon which he rises to a higher plane.
We must not deceive ourselves. We are
contronted now with a situation which
requires the democratic party to array
itself in its strong armor and choose its
tried and much-tested leader to carry it
through the crisis which confronts it.
The battle lor commercial and industrial
emancipation of the people of this coun
try is not yet over and victory is not yet
achieved. The democracy, in which is
involved the future of this conntry, must
not take the risk o failure."
The Nebraaka Democrats.
Omaha, Sept. 20. Before the demo
cratic state convention was called to
order this afternoon, the situation was
chaotic. Bryan't free-silver forces had
selected E. I". Smith for temporary
chairman, but the state central com
mittee held a meeting to name a man
who would represent the administra
tion. The free-silver men had also de
cided to have W. D. Oldham of Kearney
for permanent presiding officer, and
this, too, was a thorn in the side of the
administration men.
By a vote of ,33 to 3 the central com
mittee decided to recommend Judge
Matt Miiler of David City for temporary
chairman, and allow the conventien to
choose the permanent officer.
The convention was called to order at
S:25 by Chairman Euclid Martin, of the
state central committee. E. P. Smith
was made temporary chairman, after
Matt Miller had been named and had
withdrawn.
Waahlngton Democrate.
Nobth "Yakima, Wash., Sept. 20. The
democratic leaders caucused until a late
hour in the night, and resumed this
morning. The indications are that E.
J. Hill of Whatcom will be made tem
porary chairman and Edward M. Reed
of Yakima temporary secretary. Mr.
Hill wat consul to Montevideo during
Cleveland first administration and Ed
ward M. Reed is the editor of the Ya
kima Herald. For permanent chair
man Judge N. T. Caton of Lincoln
county will probably be chosen. The
nominarion for congress from the West
will be tendered to Colonel James Ham
ilton Lewis of Seattle, and tie will un
doubtedly accept. From the east side
the nomination lies between Blandford
of Walla Walla and Edminton of Day
ton. General Turner of Seattle and N.
T. Caton of Spragce are the leading can
didates for the supreme bench.
Whitney Will Not Kun.
New Yohk, Sept. 2C William C.
Whitney was interviewed at Quarantine
today, and announced positively he
would under no circumstances accept
the democratic nomination for governor.
He gave the impression his business
interests would not allow it. He said :
"There are plenty of better men in
the party than I. I regard David B.
Hill as tht very beet man for the place.
I think he would poll an enormous vote.
Of course I think the next governor will
be a democrat."
Cleveland "Not In Touch."
Bl'zzak's Bay, Mass., Sept. 26. A
representative of the press was the first
to notify the president of the result of
the democratic state convention in Sara
toga early this evening. Mr. Cleveland
was asked it he had anything to say as
to the nomination of David I'. Hill for
governor. He replied:
"I am not in touch with the political
situation in New York, but no doubt the
convention hat done the best thing pos
sible." He asked about the other nominations
and if Senator Hill had consented to run.

Findlay, Ohio, Sept. 27. The out
pouring of people from all parts of the
northern portion of the state to hear
McKinley was the largest ever w itnessed.
Findlay kept a close holiday in honor of
the day. At Columbus, on his way here,
McKinley was given a tumultous recep
tion by 10,000 people. A parade was
formed, and with McKinley and several
state officials, the inarch was taken up
to this city. ' McKinley delivered his ad
dress from the campus of F"indlay col
lege. He compared the republican ad
ministration with the present condition
and said the administration voted out of
power in 1892 was one of the best the
country ever had. The democratic
party had been in control of the govern
ment for 19 months, and this period had
given tho American people an oppor
tunity for sober reflection. Many who
were heretofore loud in condemnation of
the republican party were now eager for
a change. He cited the action recently
taken by the sugar planters of Louisiana,
and said he did not know what this
might mean for the future of politics,
but he could not but commend this
patriotic action. He then reviewed the
administration, the president, the work
of the present congress, and severely de
nounced the new tariff law. He then
referred to some recent utterances by
the president on the tariff and said they
meant constant agitation of the tariff
question until March 4, 1895, at least,
and for two years after, unless the
people in the elections this year select a
republican houee of representatives.
A democratic victory, he declared, meant
further and longer steps in the direction
of free trade. Referring to the Wilson
bill, he said if it had become a law it
would have created an annual deficit of
from $40,000,000 to $70,000,000. He de
clared the manner in which the measure
became a law enough to condemn it.
He declared the new tariff bill had im
proved no American interests, unless
it be the sugar and whisky trustB. It
had not started a single factory. What
ever industry it would quicken lies be
yond the seas. Passing to the financial
problem, thegovernor said our present
ebarrassrnent does not como from too
little money nor too much money, nor
from the character of the money in use,
but the stoppage of wages by the closing
of industries. He referred to the clause
in the new tariff renewing the treaty
stipulation of 1875, by which sugar from
the Sand witch Islands is to be admitted
free, and wanted to know if the treaty
stipulations with the Sandwich islands
were more sacred than the contract
made with citizens of the United States
by the tariff law of 18'JO.
