Coeur il'A(ne Blot., -
Ban Francisco, July 15. Damage
auits against the Helena & Frisco Min

tUSO.OOO, were Hied in the United
Htates court today. The plaintiffs are
miners aud their legal representatives,
Who seek damages for injuries inflicted
upon the non-union miners who went
to the rescue of the company during
the Coeur d'Alouo trouble in 1803.
The plaintiffs in tho suit are F. K,
Adams) Humuel C. Collina, L. H. Con
don, Frank West and Hophie Johnson.
Tho complaint recites that the plain
tiffs, who were non-union minors, were
kept in the mill, without preelection
from the Winchesters of the strikers,
aud that they were so hedged in that
escape was impossible. Finally tho
union men fired many volleys from
Bunker Hill, afterward shut off the
water and blew up tho mill with dy
namite, killing all but those who filed
these suits. Their sufferings are set
forth in detail, how some were maimed
and others paralyzed, aud others made
blind for life. ,

NO FATALITIES AS YE
Details of the Catastrophe at
Atlantic City.
INVESTIGATION WILL FOLLOW
The Accident Waa Cauaed by the Col
lapee of the Hecond floor Over
. a Jtefre.liment Kaloon,
Atlantio City, N. J., July 13. No
deaths have as yet resutled from the
disaster last night at the Baltic-avenue
casino, although, in other respects, the
details of the occurence have not been
exaggerated. A conservative estimate
places the number of wounded close to
800. Of these ouly one is in inunedi
ate-danger,. Frederick Claproth, of
Jennings' band, 'Camden. The report
that both Claproth and Miss Jennie
Rockwell, of Philadelphia, were dead,
is untrue. The accident was caused
by die collapse of the second floor of
the bulding, over the refreshment pa'
vilion. Just previous to the crash, Jen.
nings' band began-to play for the Elks,
and the majority of the people were
thus attracted to the upper floor. But
for this there would have been a great
loss of life A party of New York ael
egates were below, but 1 heard the
alarming crash of timbers and escaped
to the board walk outside not a second
too soon. The great weight of the
cvowd waa the primary cause of the ac
cideut, but there ia talk of fixing the
responsibility, it having been gener
ally thought that the structure was old
and dilapitated.
The Cusiuo building fronts the ocean
from the board walk at the head ol
Baltic avenue. It ia a frame, two.
story structure, built about two years
ago by the Casino Amusement Com
pany. It has been unoccupied for the
past two seasons. . .
When the pillars supporting the up
per floor gave way, the floor collapsed
into a funnel-shaped gap, forming
V." open at the apex to the lower
floor, which fortunately stood the
shock. Those sitting in the middle of
the room were at the bottom of the
heap of humanity, which filled the
space. Cries of women and shouts of
the men added to the confusion. As
soon as possible willing hands assisted
in the work of rescue, and the injured
were conveyed to the hospitals, resi
deuces and hotels.
Every house was thrown open for the
reception of the injured, and every
availabile conveyance was pressed into
service to carry them to their hotels.
Meanwhile the physicians were on the
scene and doing all in their power to
aid the unfortunates who had been
caught in the crash. The excitement
amid the assembled crowds was great
er than in the immediate neighborhood
of the wrecked building. The people
injured were those who were so unfor
tunate as to fall underneath the mass.
The scene of the casulty is being vis
isted by thousands today. The injured,
who are scattered all over the island in
cottages, hotels and hospitals, are do
ing well as far as heard from.
It is understood that the authorities
will begin an, investigation with
view of ascertaining the cause, and
also to provide against the possibility
of a recurrence of such a catastrophe.
MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
llanaom
Stokes, of Suitnydale, Near
Seattle, the Victim.
Seattle, July 13. Sunnydale,
sparsely settled community about eight
milea from this oity, haa been the scene
of a fiendish aud mysterious murder.
Ransom Stokes, tho victim, was a mid
die-aged man, well-educated and able
to live without labor on money he re.
oeived from property in the East Of
late he haB been advertising for a wife,
and ou that account was at the . post
offloe frequently, yesterday it was
discovered that he had not been for his
mail for. ten days, so a search was
made. : His house was locked, but on
looking through the window it was
noticed that things were in confusion.
The people, knowing that he was in
the habit of bathing every morning iu
a little creek that runs through the
woods some distance from the house,
went there. Nothiug was found, but
an odor waa notioed coming from the
woods. A search resulted in the dis
covery, about 100 yards from the honse
in the dens- brush, of a large pile of
logs, roots, etc Under one side were
the remains of a fire, which had burn
ed into the pile some distanoe. The
stench from this heap was terrible, but
one of the men got down on his knees,
looked through the hole and discovered
the remains of a human being. The
coroner was immediately sent for, and
returned there this afternoon. He
found that the fire whioh had been set
to the pile was intended to burn up the
remains of Ransom Stokes. The face,
hands and neck were scorched, but
nothing more. On taking the body
from its place, it was found that ten
buckshot had been fired into the man's
baok, piercing the heart and lungs.
Suspioiou rests .ou Fred Kindling
and Charles Kindling, two ex-convicts,
who were neighbors of Stokes,
and whom Stokes said he had ordered
off his place. The two men are under
arrest, but deny knowledge of the oase.

RUSSIA'S FRIENDLY OFFER.
It Waa a Tender of All the Gold "Jeo,
esaary to Maintain the Reserve,
- Chicago, July 13. A special from
Washington to the Post says:
Discussion of the gold reserve in the
treasury and action, past and prob
able, of the Morgan-Rothschild bond
syndicate, brought to light today the
fact that Czar Alexander III of Russia
offered to loan the United. States all
the gold necessary to maintain the re'
serve at any figure desired. The friend
ly tender was declined by President
Cleveland because, after several weeks
of deliberation and telegraphio corre
spondence between Washington and
St Petersburg, it was decided the
president had no authority to issue
bonds or otherwise incur indebtedness
on behalf of the' government Since
then the power of the president and
secretary of the treasury to issue bonds
has been determined, and if the offer
were repeated by the present Russian
ruler it might be accepted. '
The story of the proposition by the
czar, and the way it was received by
the president and his advisers, ' was
one of the best-kept secrets of the
White House.' ' Although the incident
occurred some two years ago, no hint
of it had up to this time reached the
public.
It was some time in May, 1803, that
the state department was surprised by
the receipt of a communication from
A. D. White, then American minister
at St Petersburg, stating that the czar
had, through M. de Giers, offered
loan to the United States any amount
of gold required to curry the treasury
over its impending - crisis. Help was
needed at that time, the new admin
istration bad been in power only a few
months, aud the financial question was
pressing on Mr. Cleveland for solution.
the .Wilson bill had been framed, but
not passed, and the business of' the
oountry was suffering from the depres
sion which later grew into a oommer
cial panic. The gold reserve was be-
iug depleted rapidly by the 'monthly
purchases ot silver bullion under the
ohernian law, and the receipts of gold
from customs had fallen off so that
each month saw the treasury drained
of its gold. ' The country was clamor
ing lor relief, and the presient was
considering the advisability of calling
congress together in extra session,
which he did subsequently, to legislate
on the subject and to repeal the Sher
man law.
It was in the midst of such a situa
tion that Secretary Uresham presented
at a cabinet meeting one morning the
letter he bad received from Mr. White.
The czar's offer of assistance was di'
rect but simple. Mr. White stated in
his official communication that he had
been called upon by M. de Giers, who
said the czar had instructed him to
confer with the American minister at
the court of St Petersburg, and to in.
form him that the czar stood ready to
make a personal loan, to the president
of gold to the amount of $50,000,000,
or as much more as might be desired,
at a nominal rate of interest, and for
an indefinite period. The interest in.
dicated was a fraction more than 3 per
cent Nothing was said about secur
ity, and it was evident that Alexander
III believed that the president could
take the money and apply it to the
needs of the treasury with but little
formality, and that he had the power
to do so. It was a generous manifes
tation of the good will of the Russian
sovereign toward the United States,
JAPAN'S WAR INDEMNITY.
It la to Be ITeed for the Purpose of In.
ereaaing Her Navy.
Washington, July 13. It is the be.
lief among officials here that Japan
will use a large part of the war indem
nity which China iB to pay her for the
purpose of greatly increasing her navy.
The financial resources of Japan will
be very great during the coming year.
The customs receipts will be very
large, as the new treaties which she
effected with leading nations will
bring about a readjustment of tariff
duties so that much greater returns
will be realized. It is owing to the
assurance of an ample treasury that
Aniericanjshipping firms have turned
their atteution toward Japan. The
authorities have already indicated their
purpose of taking a oousiderable port
of the funds for new ships.
The department of state has been
advised by our minister at Seoul that
there is much excitement there over
the flight of the minister Of the inter
ior, Pak Yong Hie. ; The king issued
au order for his arrest on the charge of
treason, but abetted his escape to Ja
pan. Pak ia a brother-tn law of the
king, aud has the title of prince. De
cember 17, 1894, when the new cabi
net was formed, Pak was brought for
ward by the Japanese, appointed to
the office of minister ot the interior
and forced upon the king. He soon be
came practical diotator, but showed
little political wisdom, and alienated
the friendship of the Japanese, who
for some time have been anxious to see
him relieved.

vorable opinion of the canal route.
IT ENDED IN A FIZZLE
Cornell-Leander Race Wound
Up in a Row.
GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT TO ALL
Brltlahera Were Not Beady at the Start
and Befuaed to Accompany Amer.
. leans Over the Conrae
Henely-on-Thames, July 11. The
first day of the 86th anniversary of the
water Derby of Great Britain was
disappointment to all concerned. Cor
nell was pitted against the crew of the
Leander Boat Club, composed of ex
Oxford and Cambridge oarsmen, and
said to be the strongest on the river.
There was some confusion at the
start, owing to the presence near the
starting-line of a number of boats,
which seriously interfered with Lean.
fler. consequently the latter was
somewhat slow in getting iu positiion.
Then, when the umpire asked if the
crews were ready, Cornell promptly
answered "Yes," and the nmpire
claims Leander did- the same. This
the Leanders deny. In any .case the
umpire gave the word "Go" and the
Cornell crew shot away, but only half
the Leander crew started, and their
stroke protested that they . were not
ready. In spite of all this the umpire
allowed Cornell to pull over the course,
and awarded the Americans the' race.
The Leanders have lodged a protest
against the umpire s decision, and it
was referred to the board of stewards,
but the board will not change the deci
sion.
DR. PALEN'S CASE.
ML. Thomp.on Tells the Story

Huntington, Pa., July 11. Miss
Margaret May Thompson, who has in.
stunted legal proceedings against Dr.
Gilbert J. Palen, oi Philadelphia,
uephew of the late Jay Gould, for
preach of promise of marriage, claim
ing $35,000 damages, is now at her
nome here and speaks freely of her
case. She is a professional nurse and
enjoys the highest publio esteem for
her charming personality. She is 31
years old.
"In the first place," said she, "Dr.
Palen did not attend me professionally
when I was ill in Philadelphia as he
states. Dr. Palen was interested in
my recovery aud to my father said
that we were engaged to be married,
but that he did not want his father to
learn of our engagement until after
his graduation.
"When I was home in March last
Dr. Palen wrote to me, saying that he
was coming to see me, and on March
he did come. My parents being
aware of his coming, and knowing of
our engagement, naturally gave him a
hearty welcome. , Up to this time he
had not told me of his relationship to
the Gould family nor of his financial
standing. These facts, had I known
them, would have had no influence
iu inducing me to give a favorable an
swer to his proposal."

THE CRISIS IN CANADA.
It Haa
Grown Ont of the Manitoba
School Qneation.
Ottawa, July 12. A considerable
ministerial crisis has developed in the
dominion parliament over the Mani
toba school question. Rumors of the
resignation of Hon. Onmet, minister of
publio works; Sir Adolph Caron, postmaster-general,
and Hon. M. Augers,
minister of agriculture, are circulated.
These three are the only French-Canadians
in the cabinet, and backed up
by the'twenty-seven French-Canadians
in the house of commons, have all
along been demanding remedial legis
lation for Manitoba.
When the cabinet decided first to ne
gotiate with Manitoba, with a view to
arriving at a conclusion, the French
ministers desired to resign and went so
far as to hand in their resignations to
the prime minister. These resigna
tions, however, were handed in with
the understanding that they were not
to be acted upon until the prime min
ister heard further from the French
men. , ,
Yesterday afternoon in the house of ,
commons, Hon, Wilford Launer, lib
eral leader, moved as a resolution of
want of confidence, the adjournment of
the house, claiming that the resigna
tion of the French ministers indicated
that dissensions in the government
made it unworthy to carry on the
affairs of the oountry. This resolution
was voted down 11 to 72. The lib
erals .expected the French conserva
tives to vote against the government.
but only one of them, Mr. Levine, con
servative, of Montreal, voted with
them. .
In the senate Sir Mackenzie Bowell
said he had nothing to say regarding
the rumored resignation.
It is rumored that Messrs. Oumet,
Caron and Angers will reconsider their
decision and will withdraw their resig
nations, which have not been accepted.

Aotorloua Burglar.

Jimmy"'1 Logue, a 'notorious all-
around crook. Mrs. 'Jennie Sullivan,
the nurse of the mother, who died re
cently jn St Louis, is coming with pa
pers to secure a pardon for Logue on
the ground that his criminal tendency
is altogether due to parental influences.
ihe principal document which Mrs.
Sullivan is reported to be bringing to
this city is a letter from Mrs. Logue to
her ton, which tells him of the sorrow
he has caused her. The dying woman
wrote: -
'Neither our folks nor you have ever
known the cause which I believe to
have been your ruin. Yon know your
father and myself to have been re
spectable and honest I was careful
in raising you for reasons known only
to myself, but in spite of all you have
been a desperate blow to me. But,
knowing what I do, I cannot feel hard,
toward yon, lor it is now my firm be
lief that I, myself, your poor, old
mother, am responsible for your 'bad
and unlawful habits. Jus before you -were
born your father was drinking
more than waa good for him and would
spend all his wages in drink it he had
an opportunity. . I found it very "hard
to get any money from him for our
bread and meat At last I got so that ,
the only way I could get any money '
was by waiting until he was asleep' and
then picking his pockets.
"Many and many a night I have got
ten up when he waa asleep by my side
and like a thief gone through his pock
ets and takes what money I found.
Then he had a temper, and I waa
always afraid when I would be picking
his pockets that he would wake up and
find me doing it
Thus I went through all the brain
sensations of a daring burglar, even 1
such as I am informed you have become.
After that you were born, and I firmly
believe yon oame into the world a thief
owing to that crime-like practice - of
mine." .
