Fort Worth, Tex., April 23. All of Texas has needed rain, ao the great evungelist Dwight Moody, called upon his audience of 8,000 Christians to pray for the floodgates to be opened. This was at 3 P. M. today. Tonight when the tabernacle was crowded by 10,000 people, Mr. Moody announced that word hud come from several points that rain had fallen. A few minutes later the storm burst on Fort Worth and torrents of rain fell. Then Mr. Moody gave thanks to God and called upon the con gregation to join in singing "Corona tion," aud "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name, Let Angels Prostrate Fall." The latter song had surged forth from 10,000 voices when a crack ing noise was heard, and then the roof sank and the rafters gave way and the heavy timbers and boards, covered with tar and gravol, came down on a portion of the congregation. There was a panic Scores upon scores of women fainted, some men lost their heads and piled pell-moll over them. Mr. Moody grasped the situation, and moving to the middle of the platform, lifted both hands to heaven, moving his arms slowly too aud fro. His attitude and calmness stopped the panic and men began to escne those in danger. A drenching rain was falling, but they worked hard and the wounded were soon taken out and carried to their home or to houses near by. The casualties were: J. V. Ingraham, cut on head and ohest, internal injures; will die; W. J. Parley, left leg crushed, back injured, seriously hurt; Mrs. Mary Murphy, cut on head aud loft arm; Miss Carson, cut on face and right arm; Miss Lulu Haley, cut ou face and right arm; J. W.

Albert Hayes, Andrew Johnson and Alfred Nelson had been living at Pelican point for some time, but were ejected about two months ago on a suit brought by Oliver A. Slude. The men were missed for some time, and Monday last the body of Hayes was found near the lake shore. Death had been caused by two gunshot wounds. Late yesterday aftor noon the bodies of Johnson and Nelson were found. The bodies were found in the lake on a wagon, tied down with ropes. The bodies presonted a sicken' ing appearance. The murders probably occurred in February. Tho murdered men were all oousins, and were run nlng a stock business on the ranch. The theory is that the men were umr dored in the cabin during the night' and thrown into the lake, as the bodies were partly undressed when found. The gunshot wounds appear to have been made with a 44-caliber riflo. Suspioion, it is said, points to H. Hayes, the stepfather of one of the murdered men, and a son of his who is missing. Other theories are advanced, but have no motive to support them, The country surrounding the village is wild and broken, and has been the scene of many tragedies between In dians and early settlers. The coroner's jury examined the bodies and will con tiuue the investigation at Lehi. The excitement is high, especially among ranchmen in the vicinity of tbe mur ders. Ousts it in a Jiffy.

Yokohama, April 22. Nichiuichi today publishes the terms of tho treaty of peace concluded between China and Japan. Tbe new details furnished are that the indemnity is payable in seven years, with interest at 5 per oent, but if the amount of 200,000,000 taola paid Japan in three years no interest will be demanded. Japan is also "en titled under the treaty to the most-fav ored-nuHon treatment, and has the right to navigate the Chung Liang, Foo Chow aud Hong Kong rivers, to import goodi of certain grades and machinery free of duty and establish factories. A new treaty of commerce is to be concluded, based on exsting treaties with foreign powers. China is to comply with tho customs laws of Japan, and part of the expenses of occupation of Wei Hui Wei Port Arthur, etc., by Japanese troops, are to be borne by China. China engages not to punish returned prisoners, nor to inflict punishment upon Chinese who may have aided the Japanese army and navy. China also binds herself to return Japanese prison ers unconditionally. The exchange of ratifications of the treaty will take place at Che Foo not later than May 8, One stipulation of the treaty between China and Japan is that Chinese who have been captured by the Japanese, and others who had sold supplies to the Japanese troops should not be beheaded according to the Chinese custom. Until the beginning of the war between China and Japan each country had con sular jurisdiction over its subjects in the other country. It now appears that Japan will now no longer grant this privilege to China, on the ground that China, is a barbarous country, and for eiguers residing there must be protected by their own country. Ttoaala Hay Ask Chines Territory, London, April 22. The Standard's correspondent in St Petersburg sys: "The newspapers continue to express discontent with China's cession of mainland territory to Japan, but only a feeble idea is given by them of the extreLwly difficult position in which Russia is placed. It is a fact that the gravest apprehension exists in politcal circles, and it is evident that Russia cannot submit to the ratification of the treaty under present conditions; but it is very difficult to see what path will remain open should Japan and China persist in the ratification. There are excellent grounds for believing that Russia will ask for the oession of other Chinese mainland territory. If this bo refused, consideration for her prestige will compel her to take decisive and prompt action." The Standard's correspondent in Od essa says: "In the last few weeks 60,000 sol diers have sailed from this port for yiadivoBtook, and 6,000 of them will embark soon. The cruisers are held ready to transport them, despite the conclusion of peace in the East. " Mot Willing to Open Peking. London, April 22.

TIIECANALCONCESSION Nicaragua Does Not Want the Company to Surrender It. TIKE LIMIT WILL BE EXTENDED In Addition to Thla, Kvery raelllty and Kneonrageinent Will Be (liven tho Construction Party. Washington, April 20. Dr. Guz man, Nioaraguan minister, waa asked today concerning a roport that Nicara' gua desired that the present Nicaragua canal company should surrender the concession under which work has been done thus far, and that the United States and. Nicaragua should jointly unoertaao the future work as a govern mental enterprise. The minister ex plained the roport was duo to a mis apprehension. The Nicaraguan govern ment had no wish, he aaid, that tho company should surrender its con oession. It had every confidence that the company would push the enterprise with all possible speed. Under these circumstances, Dr. Guzman aaid the joint govermental proposition was not a live one, and it was needless to spec ulate on a contingency which Nicara gua did not regard as a remote possibil lty. 1 no government wanted to five every faoility and encouragement to the oompany, and did not want the im pression to go abroad that it considered forfeiture likely or even possible. Dr. Guzman says the misapprehension arose through crediting to him a state' ment wuicn oe had communicated to the state department as an enclosure. The statement had been made during an interview Detwen the United States minister at Nicaragua and the govern' ment authorities. It waa forwarded to Guzman and by him sent to the state department without any intention of indorsing the views. It has since been found that the report of the interview at Managua was very defective. Min ister Baker was talking in English and understood no Spanish. The Nicara guan minister was talking in Spanish and understood no English. Thore waa naturually some misunderstanding, from which the recent reports have arisen. MUST SUE FOR PAY. JJt-SK is: Secretary Klneald's Deolslon as to Com- rulsslonera. Salem, Or., April 18. Governor Lord, Secretary of State Kincaid and Treasurer Metschan returned from their Eeastern Oregon tour today; Sec retary Kincaid today announced in plain terms that he hud fully made up his mind on the holdover commissioner question, and his decision is. WiJl not issue warrants to .the old com missioners until forced to do so by "the process of law. The question now Who shall represent the state in defense and whence will come the funds with which to pay the attorney1 fee? Secretary Kincaid does not con aider it incumbent on Mr. Idloman represent tbe defonse in opposition to an opinion already rendered, nor will he ask the services of anothor attorney, making his remuneration dependent on the next legislature. Tho most feasible course, it is hold, and the one that will probably be followed, is to ask for pri vate subscriptions to dof ray the expense of defending the suit thut is expected to follow. One Portlund man has offer ed to contribute $100 and the secretary thinks enough can be secured by volun tary conrtibutions to oonduct the do' fense. A Portland attorney has offered to represent the state for $250, and Mr. Sehlbrede thinks Roseburg will also contribute funds. The secretary is oon firmed in the belief that the citizens of the state almost universally ondorse his refusal to recognize the holdover commissioners.

United States Minister Tyler, at Teheran, Per sia, appears to have had a great deal of trouble lust year in securing adequate protection for certain American mis sionaries striving to establish a Jewish mission school in that country. The missionaries were rudely treated by the inferior Persian officials, and had diffl culty in protecting their pupils. Ow ing to the energetic efforts of the min ister, which found a ready response from the shah, the school was finally put upon a firm basis, although it was found necessary to caution all mission stations to observe very carefully the treaty stipulations, and refrain from extending refuge to Persian subjects.

The Chrstiuns in Erzeroum the dispatch says, were terror-stricken the night of the 2d inst, on account of a report that more than a hundred Turkish soliders had attempted to leave their barraoks and begin butchering the Christian inhabitants. The report was true, and a massacre was prevented only by the action of the oommander of the garrison, Shah Pasha, who at the first sign of an outbreak ordered the troops to return to their quarters immediately. - The command was not obeyed, whereupon Shah Pasha ordered a volley to be fired by the troops who remained faithful, and thirteen of the recalcitrants were shot dead on the spot Precautions against a massacre have been taken throughout the prov ince, but a sense of insecurity prevails. era in the spring have been found fat ! ing sketches on specially prepared The Behring Bea Olalme Conference.
