from internal hemorrhage. General Lord
Bulwrts, who was for many years coin-niandur-in-chiuf
of the British forees in
India, waa interviewed to-day in regard
to the probable addition to the Eastern
complication, in the event of the death
of Ameer Abdurrahman Khan, and aald :
Similar report of illneaa, and from
which the Ameer ha recovered, have
reached India In year gone by, but the
Ameer i now older and constantly re
enrring attack of the gout must have
seriously undermined hi general health.
The new doubtless was brought from
Cabul to l'eshawur by horsemen, and
wa telegraphed from the latter place to
Simla. Should the question of succes
lon arise, there will certainly be eriou
trouble at Cabul between the opposing
panic, one favoring the ucsion of
the elder aoii, Kardur Ilaibibnlla Khan,

already held a ort of power at Cabul.

royal wife In the interest of her ton, who
is a child. , Upon a former ociaion,
when the Ameer' death waa expected,
the royal wife made preparation to
eize the treasury and gain the adhesion
of the army. ' '
" II the Ameer die, the European at
Cabul will be in danger from the fanat
ical hatred of the Afghans, which 1 only
impressed through hi personal mllu

three English women at Cabul, and their
only mean of escape i a Journey of 190
mile to l'eshawur, during which they
will bo at the mercy of the Afghan
until they reach Luudikhotal, where
they will bo under the protection of the
Khyber rifle. The situation I causing
the greatest anxiety to the government
of India. The summoning of a special
council i a very unusual proceeding,
and it i evident that Karl Elgin con
aider the situation to be gMve." '

HI Reply to th Quart., of the Aiuart

Nkw Yobk, October li.M Prohibi
tion Park last evening Dr. McGlynn an
swered tome question put to him by
member of the A. P. A. Dr. McGlynn
aald Charles T. Haskell of Prohibition
Park had handed him these question, to
anwer : ,
" I there anything In the constitution
of the Catholic Church which is ft men
ace to the republican form of govern
ment?" " Is it true the vows of Catholic priest
hood interlere with loyal oitixensnip in
a republican country like our own?"
"Was not the ArchbUhop of New
York compelled to interfere with your
right a a citizen because of your polit
ical enthusiasm?"
To the first question Father McGlynn
answered with an emphatic no. He
added : '
"The Catholic Church will not menace
thl country. So far from the Pope try
ing to revolutionize this country it ia the
reverse, and in no country doe the up
holding of the Catholic faith so please
him m in America."
To the second question Dr. McGlynn
replied:
"Priest do not take vow; they only
make promise at the time of ordina
tion. Those promise only restrict the
priest in hi religlou observance and to
celibacy." I
" I answer ye to the third question,"
ssid the speaker, but those who con
demned me made mistake. Neither
the Catholic Church nor the Pope l in
fallible. 1 wa excommunicated, but
that wound is all healed and I bear no
Ill-will." :

WHITE MAN1IIIS TIME
Another Lynching In the
Bluegrass Region.
HE HAD KILLED THE SHERIFF
Th Banging Was Cond noted With a
Hush Formality If It Had Been a
Legal Affair Mono ot tha Hob Con
; sealed HI Identity. .
' Lixinqton, Ky., October lfi. Another
lynching ha been added to the unusually
large fall series of the Bluegrass lynch
ing bees. Saturday at the close of the
Beattyville fair Oscar Morton, a citizen
of Stanton in Powell county, went out
on the warpath. Two weeks ago Morton
killed man at Stanton, and was oat on
6,000 bonds. He arrived at the fair
Saturday, and immediately proceeded to
get drunk. When thoroughly intoxi
cated he started to hunt for Sheriff Sims,
who was bis deadly enemy, ft feud of
long standing having existed between
tha tarn. film, and Morton met near the
entrance to the fair grounds, and after '
few words both of them drew guns. A
quick exchange of shots followed, Mor
ton using two guns, ins nrsi snot oroae
the Sheriff's right arm at the elbow.
John Hogg, a friend of Sims, whipped
out his gun and joined in the battle.
When the smoke cleared away it waa
found that Sims was dead, having been
thrice shot through his breast, in the
abdomen and through the arm. Morton
was shot through the neck, while Hogg
waa unhurt. Morton was hustled to the
county jail and placed under guard. The
people became infuriated, and s big
meeting wa at once held on the public
square. Colonel John Druramond
mounted a barrel and made a speech.
He said the murderer muat be hanged,
but that the work must be done quietly
and with perfect order. Morton had
killed two men in lea than two month,
nd he must die by the rope. A mob
waa quickly formed and marched to the
jail. The jailer waa overpowered and
tne Key to noruin i ceu oomineu. ne
was louna croucnea on tne noor. ana
ftftei ft struggle was seized and dragged
out. Seeing his game was np, Morton
made the best ol things and told the
mob that he did not care what they did
with him, provided they did their' work
quickly. After a short parley he was
taken to ft little nriuge some aiBiance
from town, and the rope wa placed
round hi neck. The leader drew their
gun, and told him to jump or else he
would be riddled with bullets. Turning
around, the doomed man cursed hi
captors and, uttering wild Imprecations,
jumped into spaoe. The jump broke
his neck. After dangling in the air for
some minutes hi body became stiff, and
volley of bullets were fired into it. The
mob then dispersed, leaving the body
dangling from the bridge. At noon Sun
day it waa there still. None of the mob
made any attempt to conceal his identity,
and the hanging waa conducted with aa
much formality as if it had been a legal
affair. The murderer wa a wealthy
man, who lived at Stanton.
TBI STAMP THEFT.
Twelve er Fifteen Hundred Dollars Will
Cover the Loa.es.
Washington, October 16. The offi
cials of the bureau of engraving and
printing express the opinion that the
losses of. postage stamps by the thefts of
Smith and his confederates will not ex
ceed 11,200 or 1,600. Up to this time
nearly sixty-four postmasters in differ
ent parts of the country in addition to
the one at Ionia, Mich., have made com
plaint of shortage in the stamps shipped
them, but in each case the loss waa very
small. It is expected that by the middle
of the coming week they will have re
ceived reports from all postmasters
whose shipments of stamps it is believed
have been tampered with. William A.
Beach, who was arrested at Orange, N.
J., and released, is now being looked
after by the postal inspectors' attorney,
and with his capture it is believed all ot
those who were implicated will have
been apprehended.

Sixty men, representing an aggregate
capital of $40,000,000, were present. It
was agreed that no manufacturer would

Some speakers said they would rather go

South McAllister, I. T., October 10.
Judge J. B. Stuart has been holding
during the. present term of the United
States Court that all parties who have
heretofore been convicted or pleaded
guilty to liquor-selling in the Indian
country are incompetent to testify, As
the law makes liquor-selling in the In
dian country a felony, this is a very im
portant decision, for some of the leading
citizens pleaded guilty to this charge and
received a small fine. - It may lead to
disfranchisement when the country be-

CALIFORNIA'S OBANOX CBOF.
The Auction Rales tn San Franel.oo Will
; Probably be Beopened.
San Fhahoibco, October 18. It is
probable that the San Francisco auction
for the sale of oranges will be reopened
early in December in manner timilar
to that of last year, with some changes
in its general management. The Orange
Exchanges of Riverside, Pomona, On
tario, Redlands, Duarte and Los An
geles will have a joint meeting of repre
sentatives to-morrow, at which time the
question of establishing permanent
San Francisco suction-house will be de
cided. The men who probably will have
the auction-bouse in charge are D. E.
Allison and Frank Dalton and W. W.
Jones, the auctioneer who organized and
conducted the auction establishment last
year. The Orange Exchanges named are
convinced that this method greatly facil
itates the distribution of that fruit crop
and saves money for the producer. It
does awav with all the small and sepa
rate shipments to the Coast cities and
towns, as well as to Eastern markets,
and is a saving in freight and commis
sions. W. W. Jones, who has returned
from an extended selling trip in the East,
will probably be the auctioneer and gen
eral manager. The location has not yet
been fixed definitely. A very large crop.
heavy shipments and extensive sales are
expected in fact, much larger than
tiioseof last year. The San Francisco
auction salesof the crop of 18U3 amounted
to (180,000, and this in spite of the severe
frost which destroyed the larger portion
of the Riverside crop. The outlook for
this year's crop is very promising, Daurte
and Redlanda having better prospects
than ever before. These latter place
seem to prefer to ship their fruit tree on
board the cars to the principal market,
but they also leel disposed to Join with
the other exchange and become regular
shippers to the San Francisco suction.
The matter will be definitely settled
within few days.
AFFAIRS IK YESEZCRXA.
General Denial of the Beported Internal
Trouble In That Country.
Washington, October 18. Senor Jose
Andrade, the Venezuelan Minister to
the United States, authorizes sweeping
denial of the report on internal troubles
in Venezuela. His latest advices from
Caracas state that the interests ot peace
were never so firmly established. There
are no signs of rebellion or discontent
among the people, and the situation of
affairs in the country, he says, has never
been more promising. Business with
the United States is reviving since the
discriminations in favor of some of the
other South American countries have
been removed bv the abolition of tne re
ciprocity treaties. Before those treaties
went into eneci Venezuela was snipping
to the United State 80.000.000 pounds
of coffee annually. After Brazil negoti
ated a commercial treaty witn tne united
States Venezuela coffee was compelled
to find a market in Europe, and the ship
ments to this country fell off to 3.000,-
000 pounds. Venezuelan coffee growers
now anticipate anotner maraei ior ineir
nrnluct in the United States, in which'
country they prefer to sell their coffee,
owing to their closer proximity, wnicn
rMiilta in mnrh lower freisht rates. An
drade has no official confirmation of the
renort that Venezuelan force nave
crossed the Yuruari territory and occu-
n ed tha Cuvuni Valley region, driving
off the British police. That territory.
the Minister explain, l tne property m
Venezuela, and i in no wise connected
with the terriinry in dispute between
Venezuela and British Guiana. In other
words, if the Venezuelan forces are oc
cupying the Cuvuni Valley region, they
are merely establishing wemseives on
property which belongs to them, while
the British police, who are said to have
been driven off, are mere interlopers.

Capstown, October 16. The govern

London. October 16. A dispatch to th
Times from Lourenzo Maroues says the
Portuguese have declined the offer of as
sistance made them by Cecil Rhodes,
Prime Minister of Cape Colony, to quell

connected with the British warshir
Thrush, from which all dispatches aw

THE STORM IN FLORIDA !
Woeful Tales of Destruction
by Wind and Water.
THE HAVOC AND ' DESTRUCTION
Damage Done to Town, la the Path of
the Storm Is Boported to be Almost
' Incalculable Appeleehieola and Ce
; dar Key tha Principal SnlTerara.
jACXsosviLLB.Fla., October 14. Com
munication has been re-established with
all points on the west coast visited by
the recent storm, and dispatches tell
woeful tales of the destruction caused by
the wind and water. Appalachlcola and
Cedar Keys were directly in the storm's
path, and the damage at those places is
almost incalculable. The storm first
struck Cedar Keys, and the following
dispatch describing it has been received :
" Cedar Keys has Just experienced the
most disastrous storm tor twenty-five
years. Main street is piled with debris,
consisting ' of wreckage from boats,
wharves, fishbooses and logs of every
description. , The damage is great. The
Florida Central is a heavy sufferer. Al
most the entire track to the mainland,
a distance of three and one-half miles,
is destroyed. From the mainland to
Sumner, lour and one-half miles, there
are nearly 100 washonts. The Town Im
provement Company is a heavy loser, as
number of business and dwelling
houses were swept away. The total loss
here amounts to several thousand dol
lars. The city hall, a two-story build
ing, had the roof blown off and one side
knocked out The city jail cannot be
found. The five bridges to the shell road
are washed away. Many small boats
were wrecked. One sloop came in Tues
day with five men, who bad clung to ft
palmetto tree since Monday night. It
U reported that five sponge vessels went
ashore during the storm and were driven
seven miles into the woods."
From Cedar Keys the cyclone traveled
np the west coast to Appal achicola. At
that point it was even more severe than
at Cedar Keys. The following dispatch
from Appalacbicoia says:
" Never before in the history of this
town was such havoc and destruction
played by storm and tide. Water, Com
merce and Market streets were a mass ol
logs, boats, lumber and dead fish. Two
lives are reported lost. . Two residences
were carried a mile away and placed in
the marsh near Cypress Mill, uninjured.
The docks were totally destroyed, and
the houses were unrooted. The families
sought safety on the hills, only to be
routed by the terrible gale. The water
Is six feet deep on Water street, and
some of the best dry-goods stores were
battered into pieces by the floating tim
ber and shattered to destruction. Five
barges were blown from East Pass and
lodged two miles north of here. Kim
ball A Co.. lumber dealers, are heavy
losers. It is impossible to obtain an es
timate of the losses on goods and build
ings. People are dismayed, and appeals
for aid will be sent out."
From many other points in West Flor
ida come reports of the storm's destruct
ive work, but Cedar Keys and Appalach
lcola seem to have been the principal
sufferers.
MBVf FBBIOHT BATES.
Most of the Dealers Are IndltTerent to
the Advance.
Pobtland, October 13. Wholesale
merchants appear to be indifferent to the
raise in west-bound freight rates an
nounced recently. So far as can be
learned, there is no complaint at the ad
vance. The average dealer is more in
terested in the stability of rates than in
the raise. It he is certain that he Is
granted the same rate as his competitor,
e is satisfied. As for the amonnt of the
advance, that is added to the amount of
his sales, and the dealer therefore oc
cupies about the same position no matter
what freight charges are. These higher
rates, it is claimed, will be of some slight
benefit to the wholesaler in preventing
the retailer from ordering direct from
the manufacturer, aa has been done to a
considerable extent since rates were
placed at the low figure. If there were
many manufactories here, this advance
or greater one would be blessing to
them. It waa thought that an increase
in west-bound freight charges would be
of assistance to water lines doing a
freighting business around the Horn,
but the present advance is not enough
to make any material difference, at least
at the present time. Merchants here
are ordering sparingly from the East,
only enough for present needs, and are
not inclined to speculate, and are back
ward about bringing their goods via the
lengthy Cape Horn route. But tor the
prevailing depression in business a
change, even such as becomes effective

KEEP OFF RESKBTATIOff.
The Court Decides Puyallup Indian
Cannot Alienate Bis Land.
6a Fbakctsco, October 13. The
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
decided to-day that the Puyallup Indians
have not the power to alienate the land
granted to them In severalty, and ap
proved the conduct of the agent, who
drove the workmen off the reservation.
The decision is one of the most impor
tant that has been rendered since the
organisation of the court, and unless re
versed by the Supreme Court ot the
United States will be an impregnable
barrier between the unsophisticated In
dian and the enterprising white. The
case before the court waa that ot Edwin
Eells, Indian agent of the Puyallup res
ervation in Washington, against Frank
C.Koat.
Ross is , railroad contractor, and in
the early part of 1893 he waa engaged in '
reSionm
Cook, Indians, who had a farm on the
reservation, Boss secured permission to
occupy their land and to erect camps on
it for his men. Soon after Ross took
tvrawriar, of the land tho Indian ftceftt
ordered him to vacate the premises on
the claim that the ground he occupied , lowed by Myron T. Herrick of Cleve
waa government pTowrtj. Eoa,. how- HU was e wgWOT
ever, did not move, and then the Indian . .. a .
agent called the military to his assistance , P"" nd " influence on finance in
and drove him away by force of arms. 1893. The association will petition Con
Roe took the case into the United States 1 tress to adopt the following amendment
f h? pi.WhnSto.n'jSd2: i national banking act for the par
aded that Eelli i badno authority to e.ublisbing sate and elastic
drive Roes off the reservation; so the ,f ,
Indian agent was enjoined from inter-
fering with the contractor. Soon after
this decision Eells appealed to the Ap
pellate Court, and now that tribunal de
cides in his favor, overruling the judg-
ment of J lower i ami . wdenng
ROSS tO keep Off the reservation. The .

"The act of 1887, which confers ciU- average amount of
renship, clearly does not ncipate the Stding foUis i ve7ami i
Indian, from all control or abolish e ddj nal circalation of 26 per cent
reservations. That the abolition of res- pTupnmaired capital iub-
ervations is toe ultimate hope TbMTto the tax ofonnaii of 1 '
government's policy there can be no ."ll J .TZaauaLZi IL LI
doubt, bat it wi.l not be soon and cannot
be realized by attributing fanciful quali
ties to Indians or supposing their nature
can be changed by a legislative enact
ment. The patent has clear words of
prohibition against alienation. The
power of the government to impose re
straint is not questioned, and its pur
pose is certainly not ambiguous. The
treaties with the Indians, the allotment
of land in severalty, all had the purpose
ot fixing them in permanent homes.
"By article 6 of the treaty the privilege
of allotment can only be availed ot by
those who locate the same as perma
nent home, and the purpose is so clear,
insistent and dominant that the Presi
dent is given power to prescribe such
rules and regulations as win insure tne
family in case of tbe death of the head
thereof the possession and eniovment of
such home, and he may issue a patent
only to inch a person who ha made a
location lor a permanent nome, ana, ii
issued, may cancel the patent if such
person or family go from place to place.
It follows therefore that tne contract of
Ross with tbe Indians was void, and he
was properly removed from tbe reserva
tion. If it is for the interest of the In
dian or commerce to remove restraints
upon alienation. Congress will undoubt
edly do so if applied to, and in the latter
case it will be enabled to provide for the
Interests of the Indians, bat thev seem
to have provided for themselves In the
contract with Ross."
PBISCO WOT BENEFITED.
The TTar la the Cast Baa Mot Done That
Port Much Good. '
i
8ak Fbahcisco, October 13. Beyond
the sale of a few shipments of flour and
canned goods the merchants of San
Francisco have not derived much bene
fit from the war in the Orient, says a
morning paper. Local wholesalers claim
that they cannv. compete with the Ca
nadian Pacific and the cheap transporta
tion and manufacturing concerns ot En
rope. They say that the war cannot do
the port of San Francisco any good. Re
ports from Japan and China, however,
tend to disprove the belief, and bow.
that it is want of energy and business
promptness on our own part that is
standing in oar way. Late advices re
ceived via Victoria from Japan say the
local steamer and cargo-ship service of
that country and China have been great
ly demoralized by the war. Shipping is
at a standstill, and some porta are sadly
in need of certain lines of merchandise.
For the benefit ot our Northern neigh
bors that have extensive coal mines the
following quotation is copied from a let
ter received in this city a few days ago:
"Japan's coal stock has nearly all been
bought up at a high premium, and the
price of coal hs advanced nearly 100 per
cent, with ready sales. Australian coal
has not been shipped here in any quan
tity for a long time, and most of the Eng
lish coals are too high-priced to handle?'
Some of our Pacific Coast hulls might
find employment carrying coal to Asia.
' rORFHTKD THEIK SEATS.
Refused lo Take tho Oath ef Allegiance
to the JEmperer.
Bbblim, October 13. Deputy Baeb and
young Oppler, both Social Democrats,
have refused to take the oath of allegi
ance to the Emperor before entering the
Provincial Council in Strasbnrg, and
thus have forfeited the seats to which
they were elected recently. Their objec
tion to the oath waa that it was at vari
ance with their republican principles.
There is much curiosity to know whether
Bueb and Oppler are acting on a new
principle of their party or merely on
their own responsibility. Neither Beibel
nor Liebknecht has ever refused to take
the oath upon entering the public bodies
to which they nave been elected. ,
