TO BK GIVK.N VICE-RKttAL POWER
HlKimrs of the llxrlln Treaty Arc Hulil
to Have Filially Decided I miii
Taking Hui'h Action.
London, Augnnt 0. The Anglo-Ar
meiiliin AHHOuiution leams from Cou
stantiuople that the HiguurR of the Bur
liu treaty have airroed to neud a note
to the uorte iinnoniKiing thut, hh Tur
key is unable to protect the lives of
her Chriritinii subjects, the powers
have decided to- appoint a humpeau
hiuh-coinuiiBsioner, with vioe-retral au
tliority to admiuiater Armenia in place
of the sultan. Baron Kallowuy will be
appoiutod. He comes from au ancient
family in Huuirary. In 1881 he was
minister of foroiKU affairs for the em
pirn, during the interim between the
death of Count Von Haymerle aud the
nomination of Kaluoky. In 1882 he
was minister of finance in the Austrian
cabinet, and at the same time ndmiuiS'
t Hi tor of Bosnia and Herzgovuia, under
the Berlin treaty, aud has giveu atten
tion to the Eastern question all
through his public life.
The AuKlo-Armeuian Association's
advices from Constantinople says Lord
Salisbury has demanded the unoondi
tioual aud immediate release of all Ar
mnniau political prisoners not convict'
ed by a legally constituted tribunal.
Reply of the Porte.
Constantinople, August U. The re
ply of the porte to the demands of the
powers fur reform in Armenia is con
ciliatory, and on many points agrees
with the powers demands. 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.

TO RESTORE QUEEN LIL.
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.

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

pany hag decided to erect a large
smelting plant at Nakusp, in West

Canadian Pacific railway ha done
everything possible to secure the es

A MIDSUMMER HALT.
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 in ni. editor of the Stanberry Her
ald, and F. A. Weimar, editor of the
Stauberry Sentinel, have been indulg
ing in a newspaper quarrel. 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. Mrs. Weimar con
sidered that the paragraph reflected on
her. She 1b the aaugnter 01 j. w.
Hampton, a Denver millionaire, who
lived for many years at Mount Pleas
ant, Ia. On the day of her marriage
tn Weimar her father presented ner
with a check for $10,000, and it wa
to this present that reference was maae
by Williams. In the afternoon Mrs.
Weimar, accompanied by her husband,
went to the Herald offioe and horse
whinned Williams, while Weimar
struck his rival over the head with a
revolver.
Canada'a gchoot Que.tlon.
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

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. Prosperity In Mexico.
Citv of Mexico. AuHust 2. Not

cotton and print mills rn the oouutry

mestio demand, imports of ootton tex

7.000.000 oubio vards.
The inoreassed prosperity of the coun
try and the prospects 01 a large crop
this year are causing great augmenta
tion iu the demand in thiB line. Mexi
can bonds in Europe continue to rise,
partly owing to the certainty that tins
onvArlimant nan meet its interest aud
the improved financial oondition of the
treasury. The government reoeipts
from internal taxe and customs are
likely to exceed the anticipated reports
of Finance Minister Limantour, who
ha taken a conservative view of the
probable receipts.

Liver Regulator, the "Kino or
Liver Medicines?" Everybody needs
take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou
bles, and give tone to the whole system.-
For a .laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is bkttkr than Pills. It
docs not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.
