It pro poses to appoint Christian assessors to assist the Turkish provincial govern ment, and to admit a proportion of the Christians among the minor officials, police and gendarmes. The porte also promisies to restrain the Kurds from violence. It also declares that some of the powers' demands are impossible of execution. It is probable that the powers will not be satisfied with the reply. MOST DARING IN OKLAHOMA. Zip Wyalt Captured After a Desperate Flglit Mltlt Hla Purauera. Wichita, Kan., August 6. Dick Yeager, alias Zip Watt, was captured today near Sheridan, O.T., after a des perate fight with the officers pursuing him. Six months ago the authorities of Oklahoma set out to break np Wy att's gang, which has been murdering, robbing and committing almost every crime in the calendar. Ita last sensa tional crime was the robbing of the Rock Island train near Dover",' the shooting of Messenger Jones and the looting of the passeenger coaches. After that robbery the authorities be gan a merciless pursuit of the gang. Three of Wyatt's pals, Tulsa Jack, Bill Dooliu aud Ike Black, were killed and a dozen others of the gang captured. Alone and single-handed, Zip Wyatt made a last stand before his pursuers, aud put up a desperate fight for his life. Wyatt was on his way for the (ilass mountains, in the Western part of the Indian reserve, when the officers engaged him yesterday. They ran him across the Rock Island track near Wau komis, into a cornfield, which they sur rounded. The oftioers played a wait ing game. Thirst finally made Wyatt desperate, aud he came boldly out from his oover, evidently determined to sell his life as dearly as possible. He emp tied his Winchester at the posse, which was headed by Marshal Smith, of South Enid. The fire was returned. Smith's men aimed to cripple Yeager, and soon his left arm fell by his side, so that he could not use his gun. The outlaw then drew his pistols, and ad vanced step by step toward the men who had been hunting him. They backed slowly away, juHt enough to keep out of range of his pistols, and at the same time keeping near enough to use their rifles. Wyatt soon fell with a bullet in his hip, but he con tinued to draw himself toward the officers, shooting as he crawled. An other butllet in the shoulder finally disabled him, and the poBse gathered in on him. But even then, with both arms nselesss, he fought them, kicking and biting until overpowered by main strength. Wyatt was taken to the Kingfisher jail, where surgeons were brought to dress his wounds. They aay he will live. Tonight the crippled outlaw was taken to the Garfield county jail. This breaks up the last gang of ban dits in Oklahoma. The campaign against them has cost the government a mint of money, but the law officers have finally triumphed. Colored People Excited. Washington, August 6. The funeral of the negro, Earnest Green, who was shot last Friday by Miss Flagler be cause he was taking fruit from a pear tree in the yard, was held today, and was attended by a large throng of col ored people. Two colored preachers, the Rev. J. A. Tayloi and the Rev. W. H. Brooks, made brief remarks touching on the subject Both were temperate, but the words of the latter were several times drowned by inter ruptions of the excited hearers. Re ferring to the action of the coroner's jury in exonerating Miss Flagler, he said that eventually the taking of hu man life without cause would be do crime in Washington. Life here was not worth much, so far as the colored race was concerned, but God would have a reckoning. Keavia Wanta Hla Keleaae. Santa Fe, August 6. J. A.

Another Alleged Plot Hald to Have Been Unearthed, San Francisco, August 0. The Chronicle prints a story exposing an alleged plot to restore Queen Liliuo kalani aud loot Honolulu. Rudolph Spreckles, youngest, son of Claus Spreokles, is said to be backing the scheme. The paper says: Cue of the best contrived aud most dangerous filibustering expedition ever fitted out on American soil was unearthed in Sau Francisco yesterday. Its object is, or was, to take possession of the Hawaiian republic by force of arms, restore to the throne ex-ijiinen Liliuokalani aud divide lauds, money aud goods worth approximately 37, 000,000 Among gome 200 freebooters, picked up by ones aud twos in Western America. ' The active agont of the conspirators is W. P. Morrow, a native of Connec ticut, aged 81, and he says, recently a resident of Grass Valley. He is still in San Fransoisco under surveillance, so that the federal authorities can get him if they wish to do so. The headquarters of the filibustering expedition has been 711 Bush street, in a dingy flat-fronted boarding house. There the agent of the conspirators has been receiving day aud night a motley company of men, who name in response to his cautiously-worded advertise ments, published in this city and else where. Morrow admitted, when he was forced into a corner, and told that the game was up, that he had been en gaging men to go to Hawaii and over turn the little republic. He had told to a reporter how the thing was to be done, aud had stated who the men were behind the scenes. Among them he enumerated one of the exiled Ash fords, and he declared that Rudolph Spreckles was the man with money who waa backiug the project Spreok Ies, he said, had already concealed a large nnmber of rifles in the island of Maui, so that they would be ready when the filibusters reached the isl ands. THE KU CHENG MASSACRE. Ten British Missionaries Killed, But No Americans Hurt. Washington, August 0. The state department today received later intelli gence of the killing of the missionaries in Ku Cheng, China. The dispatch, like the one received yesterday, was from Consul-General Joinigan, and shows that no Americans suffered, but that the massacre of British subjects was greater than at first reported. The oousul-general's dispatch is as follows The Americans are all safe; none is hurt Ten British were killed. " Although Mr. Joinigan does not use the word ' missionaries' ' in bis dig' patch, there is no doubt felt by the officials of the state department that it refers to them, and that his dispatch ia intended ax minnlmnenljirv to that of yesterday. - The cablegram was at Mice4 forwarded to Secretary Olney, at his summer home for his information. . Up to this time; so far as ascertain ed, no steps have been taken by the navy department toward sending any naval force to the distirct where the reported massacre has occurred. When word came of the trouble yesterday the onstomary instructions were sent to Minister Denby, at Peking, to see that American interests were protected. A message received last night from the minister says that small boats oould reach the place quicker than marines. Admiral Carpenter, in command of the Chinese station, has authority to use his vessels and men to assist in afford ing any protection which may be re garded as necessary. The lack of ships of light draught which can penetrate the shallow waters of the Chinese rivers is a serious embarrassmeut to the authorities. CATHOLIC ABSTAINERS. Qneatluna of Importance to Come Be fore the Temperance Convention. New York, August 6, Questions of paramount importance to the Catho lic temperance Union of America will be discussed at the twenty-fifth annual convention, to be held this week. The most important business will be the election of officers. The present presi dent of the organization is the Kev. James Cleary, of St Paul. So fur as is known, no serious opposition to his re-election has been developed, but it is said that the friends of Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, one of the strongest apostles of total abstinence among the Catholic hierarchy in the United States, are eager to put him for ward for the place. One question to be discussed will be that of the busi ness substitute for the saloolJ, on which some action may be taken. It is proposed that this convention shall eliminate the insurance feature from all the societies connected with the national union in the future, for it is believed by many that this feature is a detriment rather than a help. An earnest attempt will be made to make the temperance movement in the Cath olic church an entirely religions move ment An Anarchist's Death. Doual, France, August 6. During the fetes in the mining districts of Anyche, to celebrate the jubilee of M. Vuillemiu, manager of the Anyche Colliery Company, an anarchist named Deooux in the crowd fired five revolver shots at Vulleniin, while he was leav ing the church. Three of them took effect, though the wounds inflicted are not serious. Directly afterwards a tremendous explosion was heard and Decoux'g body was hurled several yards, while ten of the bystander were injured by the ex plosion. Deconx's father rushed up to the body of his win, and kicking him, exclaimed: "Canaille, aiwaamn." Decoux had been carrying a bomb beneath bis coat and it was prema turey exploded. Decoux was disem boweled and terribly mutilated and expired immediately. He wa dig charged in the colliery after a strike in 1803. A Fries for General Caatpoa. Tampa, August 6.

QUINLAN CONFESSES The Arch Fiend's Right-Hand I Man Has Confessed. t POLICE WILL HKVKAIi N0TH1S0 From Him the Police Have Positive Proof That Pltael Was Murdered In Chicago by Holinea. Chicago, August 6. The police have at taut obtained a partial confession from Pat Quinlau, the janitor of the Holmes' "castle," aud have, they be lieve, positive evidence that Benjamin F. Pitzel was murdered in thi city by Holme, and the corpse sent to Phila delphia. The confession was wonued out of Quinlau by means of a tip given the local officers by Detective Geyer, of Philadelphia, who arrived here today. The exact nature of the story told by the Quinlau the police will not reveal, and, in faot, Chief Badenoch aud In spector Fitzpatrick have both deuied that Quinlau or hi wife made any con fession at all. Notwithstanding the denial, however, it i positively known tbatiQuiulan made and signed a con fess ipu because it was left where Quiu lan'l signature on the document oould m, although the subject matter whioh he wrote hi name could ascertained. Tonight, however, s learned that a confession was covering all the details of the luurdor of Pitzel, with the exception of the actual place where the crime was oommitted. This the police de clare they will have tomorrow. The confession was obtained from the Quiulans only after the hardest kind of work and at the price of a promise of immunity from punishment for 'all part the Quiulans may have borne in the murder of Pitzel or other orimes committed by Holmes. Mrs. Quinlau knew of the disappear ance of Mrs. Connor in Holmes' "cas tle" and saw the body of the woman after she was dead. She further knew and has admitted that Pearl Connor disappeared in the castle after her re turn from a trip to the Quinlan farm at Lakeview, Mich. Chief Badeuock took Mrs. Quinlan and her husband to the "castle" today with Inspector Fitzpatrick and Detec tives Fitzpatrick and Norton. The ob ject of the trip was more for the pur pose of letting Quinlan and his wife meet than any other. The chief now has positive proof that Mrs. Connor and Pearl, her daughter, or Cora Quinlan, were murdered in the building while the mother was in Holmes' employ. Quinlan has given information within the last twenty four hours which brings the charge of murder nearer to Holme than it has been In Chicago any time sinoe theoase opened. - Quinlan and hi wife, while - .,lwat - g w ine police wan wey were at no time guiuy ui uie crime themselves, have made admissions by whioh the chief could use them as valuable witnesses against Holmes in proving that Mrs. Connor aud child were made away with by Holmes for the purpose of securing the insurance which Mrs. Connor carried on her life in favor of her daughter. Further, Quinlau and his wife have proved to the police that Mrs. Connor was so well aware of the schemes which Holmes was operating that it became necessary for Holmes to put the woman out of the way, The Toronto charge of murder is the stromrest one anainst Holmes, and if taken there he will probably be hanged, AGAIN THE BLOOMERS. gau Franeleoo'a Second Bifurcated Hop a Complete Success. San Francisco, August 5. The bloomer-ball craze has caught San Franoisco, and functions of the kind are scheduled to take place nearly every night for a week to come. The first of the bifurcated hops, which was given Tuesday evening, was frowned on, but a large crowd attended a ball giveu last night by the South Side Cycling Club. They had to knock the partition out of the cyclery on Howard street to make room for the bloomers. Judge Campbell was there, and after being an interested spectator for a few minutes he left his official dignity in the cloakroom and rushed madly into the maze of the modern dunce. With an export by his side the learned jurist scanned the glittering throng until he found a bloomer girl that suited bis funcy. Then bis honor danced the hours away. She had a sauoy eye and buff hair, and was regard ed as the belle of the ball. The judge was not in uniform, though the regula tions called for bicycle olothes. Euough of the other members observed the day to pair off with the bloomer ladies, and thus lend proper eclat to the affair. It was just like a regular function, except for the wheels, which prevailed everywhere. Half the young men rode their bicycles to the dance and scorched over the ballroom floor while waiting for the band to play. Now and then a new woman essayed to show her sis ters just how the thing is done, but nsually ended by bumping into a post or running down the rattled spectators. What with posts, bicycles, populace and bloomers, the cyclery was some what crowded, but the undoubted suo- ces of the first social made up for lack of room. To Loeate In British Columbia. Vancouver, B. C, August 6. It i understood that the Kansas City Con solidated Smelting & Refining Com pany hag decided to erect a large smelting plant at Nakusp, in West Kootenai. Representative of the com pany have been for some time carefully looking over the district and have de cided that Nakusp is the most eligible location. It ia understood that the Canadian Pacific railway ha done everything possible to secure the es tablishment of a large smelter in Brit ish Columbia by giving special facili ties in the matter of freight on ship ments of bullion. .

The Kipeeled Slackening I'p of Bu.. ueaa He ported. New York, August 5. R. G. Dun A Co. ' Weekly Review of Trade say: There is a perceptible halt which may deceive, if attributed to wrong cause. Trade, two month lute in the spring, pushed forward into July a large share of busines belonging to April or May. Seeing a rush of order out of tune, many imagined it would continue, aud hurried to give other or der. The jam of two month' busl- ueta into one lifted price. Then other order came to anticipate a further rise. But the midsummer halt wa in' evituble, and it is yet somewhat unoer tain how much improvement will ap pear after it The crop of corn prom isea to be the largest ever grown, and it is almost out of harm's way. The crop of wheat appears from later aa oouuts perhaps 30,000,000 less than wa expected a month ago, and had the best hopes realized it would have been more than 100,000,000 bushels short of a full crop. The general advance In many prod ucts cause reluctance to purchase, and the distribution of the past ball year ha been in part to make np for stocks aud individual supplies depleted during the two years of economy. On the other hand, there has been an enor mous increase in the working force and a considerable increase in wages paid, whioh enables people to buy more freely. Strike of some importance appear, but do not yet threaten to last long, though a strike of 00a 1 miners may for a time affect business somewhat exten sively. For the first time since the rise in prices of iron products began, there has been some concession to retain busi ness, and the efforts of new work to got order tend to check the advanoe. In spite of this, the general average of prices is a shade higher, bar having risen relatively more than mill iron ha declined. The market for pig is quiet, and on the whole remarkably strong, with the prospect of an increas ing output Finished products are generally strong, with more demand than can at present be met for plates and for bar. The structural demand continue large, but the demand for rails is yet delayed. Great specula tion in copper stocks has brought out some extravagant statements of de mand profits, but 11 8-4 oents has been paid in some cases for lake, and the de maud is actually heavy. Tin has re mained strong in Bpite of large ar rivals, and the visible stock of 6,000 ton is largor than usuaL Lead is stronger in tone. Business in cotton goods ha been the largest in July for several years, reckoning goods delivered, but not as large a to new orders. A further ad vanoe of 1 1-4 cent per yard has oc curred, with a moderate demand for some bleached and brown goods, and prioes are firm for sheet and drill, while colored cottons are quiet, with occasional advances. . - -Sales of wool have been only 0,072, 450 pounds for the week, against 9,830,400 in 1892. Wheat suddenly rose 8 oents on bad reports of condition, but has dropped all the gain as the scantiness of exports is felt, shipments in July having been only 8,495,004 bushels, flour included, from Atlantic ports, against 9,805,633 last year. Western receipts oontinue very small and farmers appear to be holding for higher prices. Corn is a Bhade stronger, although the reports are decidedly favorable. Cotton has risen 1-8 cent in prioe, wholly on bad oondition reports, but at the low esti mate the year's yield with stock car ried over will exceed the world's de mand. Heavy sales of coal are reported at pirces at least 70 cent below the cir cular, and the market is much demor alized with the fear of auotion sales. Failures for the week have been 201 in the United States against 230 last year, and 28 in Canada against 44 last year. Country Kill tore Quarrel. St. Joseph, Mo., August 5. T.

Will iams stated in hi paper yesterday that he had accumulated all his property himself, and while his taxes were not us much aa those of the editor of the Sentinel, none of his wealth had oonie in the way of a bymenial contract, ma.i at the altar.

Winnipeg, August 6. Sir John Sehpiis, governor of Manitoba, has transmitted to Premier Greenway a communication from the Dominion government, asking Greenway to state just how far he will go in compromis ing the Catholic scnooi aimcuity. oir John, after transmitting the communi cation, took the train for Banff, in the Rocky mountains, where Sir Mackenzie Bowell, premier of Canada, now is. In Winnipeg today the startling rumor was circulated that if Premier Greenway persists in his refusal to remedy the Catholic grievances, he and his ministers will be dismissed from offioe by the Manitoba government The governor has the power to do this, but a high-banded oourse would be calculated only to intensify the trouble and bitterness. Certain it is, however, that the Dominion government is con templating some decisive movement Northern raelfle A Montana Bonds, New York, August 6. The North ern Pacific 8c Montana bondholders oommittee announces that out of a total of $5,631,000 bonds listed, $4,042,000 in amount have been deposited with the Knickerbocker Trust Company, but the company has decided to extend the time for deposit until August 19, after which date a penalty of $10 per bond wi'l be imposed. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE Fifty Houses Destroyed in a New Mexico Town. GREATEST FLOOD IN ITS HISTORY Bodies of Hla Mexican. Have Already B.en Keoov.red, and It la Believed Many Mors Were Drowned. Socorro, N. M., August 8. A tre mendous roaring started the people of Sooorro yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock. Soon after huge waves of water came rushing down an arroyo, which drain the eastern slope of the Magdaleua, and almost encircles the town. At first it was hoped the flood would be. oou fined to the lower por tions of tho city, but soon the water came above the town, and three feet of water began rushiug through the prin cipal streets. The shriek of women aud children mingled with the dying wails of those swept into eternity. The water came in waves, each succeeding one being apparently higher than the others. Portions of houses, household furniture, baby carriages, stoves and farming implement mingled with huge boulders, railroad ties and bridge! timbers, all being borne through the1 streets by the madly rushing waters. For two hours the work of destruction continued, the horror being increased by vivid lightning, crashing thunder aud a blinding rain. Gradually the waters subsided suf ficiently to allow a partial inspection of the destruction. Only two bodies were taken from the water before dark, a mother and her ohild. An at tempt was made to reach the people living in the river bottom, but dark ness and the absenoe of boats prevented. All night homelosa people were brought in and oared for. This morning a scene of desolation was presented. A majority of the business houses have met heavy damage or destruction. Hundreds of poor peo ple have lost everything and are home less, penniless and almost naked, more than fifty houses are known to have been destroyed, while almost every res idence in the city is damaged. Sinoe the water has receded, ninny adobe house have fallen, and many other must be abandoned. . The two bodies recovered were iden tified as members of the Duran family, seven of whom are missing. Five more bodies were taken out this morning. Four were reoognlzed as member of the Duran family, making six recover ed. The fifth was an infant son of K, C. Baa . Other bodies are reported aa being seen, but owing to the treacher ous nature of the ground, they cannot be readied. The waters spread over the entire city, and carried death everywhere. Many are reported miss ing. Reports ooraing from towns north and south of here tell of heavy losses. For twelve mile south the destruc tion of property was terrible, farm houses and crops being entirely swept out The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe track was taken out between here and San Antonio in several plaoes. The branch road from this oity to Magda leua is practically destroyed for ten miles, and many bridge are gone. The dead are: Leaudro Duran, Celia Duran, Thomas Duran, J. B. Duran, and two others of the same family whose first names are not known. But two members of the Duron family are alive. No estimate of the loss can yet be made, but it is more than $1,000, 000.
