amined, and a they have the requisite
amount, they are passed. Before tart
iug for interior point the money i re
funded to the agent, who crosses the line
to await another batch. The discovery
of the scheme I neeond only to that
made during the term of ex-Collector

Japanese applied for admission. They
were lined np in the hallway outside the
Collector' olllce, called in and examined
separately. An inspector, happening
near, saw on glviug the money to an
other and, suspecting fraud, had the en
tire party taken before the Collector in
a bunch, resulting in the discovery that
there was but :W in the whole crowd.

cargo of wheat wo loaded into a steamer
bound for Erie from one of the Armour
elevator, passing inspection at that
warehouse. The steamer wa then towed
to an Illinois Central elevator for the
purpose of being loaded with 20,000
bushel , additional. The Inspector at
the latter point claimed that the (train
already in the hold of the vessel wa
weevlly, antl relusea to permit tnu cen
tral wheat to be loaded. ,- The owner of
the vessel, not wishing to have their ves
sel detained over Bunday, gave order
for it immediate departure. The ques
tion resolve itself into one of accuracy
between the two Inspectors, the iteneral
disposition being to place little faith in
the theory that Chicago wheat Is out of

barred from trying tbe officer on tbe

the officers are defendants in 11 tbe

Hiroshima, Japan, October 20. A ses

The speech from the throne was deliv

jesty said he had decided to convene an
extraordinary session and had given di
rections to his Ministers to submit for
the deliberation of the Diet ft bill provid
ing for increased expenditure for the
army and navy, an important matter.
He declared that he was greatly pained
that China should have forgotten her
duties in regard to the maintenance of
peace in the East in conjunction with
Japan, and the Mikado added:
" Bnt as ahe brought about the present
state of affairs, and as hostilities have
begun, we will not stop until we have at

He hoped that all of his subjects in

government and restore peace by means
of ft great triumph for the Japanese
arms.

London, October 20. The Shanghai
correspondent of tbe Central News eay
that the Chinese government is making
a great effort to raise ft domestic loun,
offering 7 per cent interest. Several
millions have been taken already.
The work of the fortifications at Wei
Hai Wei ia pressed forward with fever
ish haste. Tbe old forts have been
strengthened, hew ones are going up
and all the weaker points are being cov
ered with earthworks. Troops are con
centrating there already, but many of
them are indifferently equipped. The
garrison is thoroughly alarmed for the
safety of the port, and sensational ru
mors as to an approaching attack are set
afloat almost daily. The commander
haa good reason to expect ft sudden at
tack from the Japanese soon. -
A rebellion has broken out in the dis
trict around Foo Chow, and peaceable
persons are coming into the city by hun
dreds. The fear of Japanese attack
haa increased recently, and more torpe
does and mines have been laid in the
bed of the Min. The river has been so
carefully fortified that navigation has
become dangerous. Wednesday ft junk

when the Czar might for good or evil be

TH DBATH PENALTY.

Mnrdero.
Siattls, October 20. Thoma Blanck,
the murderer of Charles H. Birdwell and
William Jeffery and the would-be mur
derer of Detective Cndihee, wa to-day
found guilty of murder in tbe first de
gree and the death penalty imposed.
This was not done, however, until he
had made two desperate attempt, to es
cape and forced the Sheriff to have him
taken into court by main force. Blanek
wa ugly at the long-drawn-out trial,
and wa watching for the first oppor
tunity to escape, which be thought pre
sented itself while he wa being taked
upstair to the courtroom between two
guard. One guard had a pair of nip-;
per around hi right wrist and tbe other
was walking at his side. Suddenly Blanck
struck tbe man who bad the nippers on
the jaw, knocking him down the stairs.
The other guard Jumped after them and
grabbed Blanck by the collar. A fierce
fight ensued, in which the prisoner was
finally floored by blow on tbe. right
temple from ft revolver in the hands of
the guard he bad first struck. Blood
covered the marble floor at the base of
the stairs, and the prisoner left trail
of blood on the way back to the jailer',
office. -- : ' ; '
After he was ready to go again to court
he became sullen, and refused to move.
Nippers were put on each hand, but he
still . refused to move. Suddenly he
sprang to bis feet, shot both hands out
and then commenced to kick and bite at
bis guards. Jailer Monroe tried to grab
mm ov tbe inroat, dui ciancx caugm
the jailer's finger in his mouth and bit
off a large piece of flesh. The fight
lasted three minutes, snA it took five
men to overpower him. He still refused
to go to court, and it was only by the
combined force of four men that he was
taken in. His counsel presented no wit
nesses. This was a great surprise, as it
was expected a strong fight would be
made on the ineanitv plea. The jury
was out thirty-five minutes, and brought
in verdict ot mumer in tne nrsi oe
gree and imposed the death penalty.
Blanck'. record before he commenced
killing people here ia still a secret, which
he has not divulged even to his attorney.
CENTRA!. PACIFIC'S DrVIDKBD.
Baoaaaa It Wa Faaaed the Bngiian
Shareholders Made Inquiries.
San Fhancisco', October 20. Q. L.
Lansing, Secretary and Controller of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company, when
asked about the troubles which are now
worrying tbe English shareholders, saw :
i' km l nnrinratjinrf it. them English
shareholders are becoming anxious about
the condition of tbe road. : xbev nave
received no dividend fora year, and tnere
is no prospect ot another dividend in
the near future. Tbe reason is easily
explained. , The earnings of the road will
not permit it. I ne laei uiymenu was
paid September 15, 1893. Owing to the
general depression of business the semi
annual dividend, which was expected
laat anrine. was permitted to lapse, and
pending a settlement of the government
indebtedness, no more aivioonua wiu ue
paid. Under tbe old lease tne eouwern
Pacific was obliged to pay the Central
PauHflftahajreholders an annual dividend
of 2 ner cent, payable semi-annually.
wneiner ine earnings oi uio raw nuu-
fied it or not. Under the new lease the
Southern Pacific is bound by no sucb
obligation, and as the Central Pacific's
earnings win no permi a omuouu,
there is no dividend to pay." It is said
the English shareholders may attempt
to have a receiver appointed over the
Central Pacific, but Secretary Lansing
Bays that such a thing would be im
possible. "Any creditor could take steps
to have ft receiver appointed," he said,
" but the English shareholders are not
creditors; tbey are in me company,
They have no recourse." . .

tone at Colonel Colt, and he cried out
that at the next atone thrown he would .

There is no doubt of a purpose to blow

reinforcement do not reach here before
the moon goes down, there is danger of

danger that many of the militiamen will

Dolby s crime was committea one weeK
ago at Farrott'i station. Mrs, Mary C ,
Uoja, aged DO, wa ma victim, ne was
brought into court at 4 o'clock thie after
noon, pleaded guilty and wa sentenced
to twenty years in the penitentiary. An .
angry mob gathered about the jail yard
yesterday afternoon after Dolby had been -identified
by his victim, and Sheriff Cook
called to his assistance the local militia
company. This action increased the fury
against Dolby, and Governor McKinley
was appealed to for additional assistance
and troops from Columbus were sent here
this morning. Colonel Coit was in com
mand. . The mob surrounded tbe jail and
courthouse and attempted to take Dolby
from the officers when he was removed
from the jail to the courthouse for trial,
but they were kept at bay by the use of
bayonets and clubbed guns.
Henry Kirk, a brother-in-law of the
assaulted woman, was thrown down the
steps of the courthouse and badly
bruised. Another was bayoneted through
the finger, while a bayonet wa thrust
through the clothing of another. ' Depu
ties guarded their prisoner in the court
room. Dolby cried like a baby, and kept
looking around for help. Soldiers were
marched in to keep the crowd quiet.
After the sentence the prisoner was taken
to the grand jury room. A mob gathered
about the courthouse, and the officer
were powerless to take bim from the
courthouse, either to the jail or to the
train, and Sheriff uook wired tne uuv
ernor to send more troops. Atmidnight
the courthouse yard was cleared, but the
angry mob remained in th square ttiil
uttering threats.
