A MYSTERIOUS STRANGER
DARIC-SKUfXED PRINCE AROUSES
CURIOSITY OP LONDONERS.
"Wealthy Oriental Sails From Liver
pool for a Tour of tlie United
States and Canada.
LONDON, Oct 26. Prince Ranjl,
of Beluchistan, -who to an un
usual extent has succeeded In excltlrtg
and baffling London's curiosity, and who
Is variously described as- an Indian po
tentate and a Prince of Slam, sailed Oc
tober 24 from Liverpool for Montreal op
the steamer Lake Slmcoe, whence he is
going to New York, accompanied by i.
duky suite numbering 28 persons. He
lived a fortnight in all the splendor of
Oriental opulence at a fashionable Lon
don hotel, where he had dropped In un
announced and unconcernedly engaged 23
rooms. In spite of the .publicity which
such an arrival was bound to create, he
has left England as much in the dark as
to his identity as when he arrived. The
Indian Office has issued an official an
nouncement that there is no such Indian
chief as "Prince Banjl of Beluchistan,"
but neither condemns the mysterious
.stranger nor clears up his identity, as
IRanjI is palpably an assumed name. When
interviewed in London, where he "by no
means courted publicity. Prince lianjl de
'cllned to say from, whence he came, hut
he once remarked: "I am a King."
"Whether he Is or is not a King, he
certainly lived like one,, spending enor
mous sums of money. The retinue which
sailed with him included musicians, who
produced from weird instruments still
'more weird sounds. A dancing girl formed
a prominent part of the daily entertain
ments which the suite provided for their
'master, who spent most of his time in
-bed. He is a man of fine physique, dark
skinned and handsome. All his food was
prepared in accordance with the strictest
Oriental usages by his own servants, who
wore gorgeous robes and were nightly
jmaTshaled by a major domo for exercise
In an adjoining park. This mysterious
party. It is said, will make a tour of Can
ada and the United States, returning to
England in time for King Edward's cor
onation. Discussing tie negro problem In the
United States, the Spectator, while jus
tifying Mr. Roosevelt's "noble and cour
ageous act" in entertaining Booker -T.
"Washington, says it wishes the President
had not invited him, because it believes
"a recognition of the nonexistent equality
of the races is -not the best way to kill
the white prejudice against the black."
It proceeds to advocate, as the best solu
tion, of tho jiroMem. that the -trhltcs and
blacks should avowedly form themBelVGS
into two castes, like the Hindoos and
Mussulmans of India, with no intercourse
except on the common business of life.
In the opinion of the Spectator, the bal
lot should be temporarily -withdrawn from
the negro, although every office, except
the Presidency, should be open to him,
but the whites should be entitled to de
mand a trial by a white Judge. "Under
these conditions," says the Spectator,
"the races would develop peaceably un
til the color rules were felt to be in-
convenient and swept away."
Lord Pauncefote, the British Ambasador
to the United States, and Lady Paunce
fote, Andrew Carnegie and Mrs. Car
negie and Ada Rehan, traveled hy the
American line special train this morning
from London to join the steamer St. Louis
at Southampton bound ,for New York.
Andrew Carnegie announced that "he will
preserve an impartial attitude in relation
to the municipal campaign in New York.
Dealing with the Nicaragua Canal ques
tion. Mr. Carnegie said:
"Great Britain has acted with rare good
sense. Tho canal ought to be American
built, with American money and by Amer
ican workmen and American hrains, and
now it will be. There is no doubt Great
Britain will eventually be the greatest
beneficiary and will have no reason to
repent the course she has adopted."
In regard to the rumors of a possible
English steel trust. Mr. Carnegie
laughingly declared lie was now out of
the business and did not know or care
anything more about it.
There is no end of criticism current re
garding the trovernment's conduct nf thn
war in South Africa, but it emanates
chiefly from those whom Mr. Chamber
lain, in his speech last night, character
ized as his candid friends. The outcry
'does not appear to strengthen in the
slightest the chances of the Liberal party.
R. C. Lehmann, who has just resigned
the editorship of the Daily News, In an
larticle In this week'6 Speaker admits
that he sees no hope for Liberalism un
tll it has acquired and put forward a
strong, definite policy in regard to South
tAfrica. To do this, he confesses, would
mean tho loss to the party of some of
its most prominent supporters, but he
maintains that even this is better than
'the present impotency.
One of the striking signs of discontent
within the circles traditionally govern
mental is found in the fact that the
Cambridge Union has passed a. resolu
tion to the effect that the government
alone is responsible for the prolongation
of the war. This aristocratic debating so
ciety Is composed mainly of those who are
related to or acquainted with the ruling
class and who have hitherto always
warmly supported the government's South
African policy. A reversal of feeling in
such a great university as Cambridge
(means, perhaps, more than any demon
stration or political meetings.
Rumors were Tlfe regarding Cabinet
changes during the early part of the
week. It was persistently aid that Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, the Chancellor of
4he Exchequer, -whoso relations -with Mr,
Chamberlain have never been cordial, was
'determined to step out, and Mr. HanbUry
the president of the Board of Agricull
ture, it was said, was to succeed him. In
quiries made by a representative of the
Associated Press, however, point to the
fact that Sir Michael will remain in of
fice, though not very willingly, and that
no serious Cabinet shake-up is likely to
occur in the near future.
The British Admiralty is taking the
most lively interest in the working of the
personnel bill In the American Navy, with
the view of the possible amalgamation of
the line and engineer officers of the Brit
ish service. Arnold-Forster, secretary to
the Admiralty, recently requested special
reports on this matter., and "Vice-Admiral
Fitzgerald today writes to the London
Times on the same topic The Admiral's
letter is a spirited defense of the navy
against many of the criticisms, but he
admits that the line officers must wake
up and become expert mechanics, as well
as good seamen, in order to master the
complicated machinery of the fighting
ships, or else the engineers will oust them
from their present dominant position.
"Real work," he said, "is now done
by steam, electricity and hydraulics
'Touch the blooming button as Jack
says, 'and let her go up.' I doubt not that
he who is the most expert in touching
the "blooming button at the right mo
ment will be the victor in future naval
battles, just as the hest sailors won or
3 ore."
The Daily News says it hears
from a quarter usually well In
formed, that the government contem
plates a general election in 1902. and that
the Conservative election agents have
received Instructions to be prepared for
eventualities. The same paper makes the
statement that when the Liberal govern
ment was overthrown in 1895 by a snap
division, a document was acually ready
for signature appointing Sir Rcdvers Bul
ler Commander-in-Chief.
The leaders of the Liberal organi
zation dony that any. meeting of the I
Liberal leaders has been called, as ca- f
T
bled to the United States by a news
agency, to consider the advisability of
Issuing a manifesto to the country calling
on the government to resign or call a
special session of Parliament to discuss
the Boer "War. the dismissal of General
Buller, and other, matters. So far from
stirring up an agitation on the subject
of General Buller, it is undeniable that
the Liberal leaders concede that the "War
Office acted correctly in retiring General
Buller, though this does not prevent
criticism of that officer's previous ap
pointment to the command of the First
Army Corps.
The efforts made by several of the Lon
don daily newspapers to create a feeling
in General Butler's favor are due partly
to their desire to make party capital, as
these papers, previous to the action of
the "War Office, could scarcely say any
thing bad enough about the General.
They have succeeded, however, in work
ing up a certain amount of popular en
thusiasm, which finds vent in music hall
demonstrations wherever General Butler's
name Is mentioned. A great meeting of
sympathy in Hyde Park Is now under
consideration, and there is talk of the
presentation to the General of a sword of
honor as a national tribute. In the west
of England, where General Buller's home
is situated, the feeling runs high. Fre
quent meetings have been held to de
nounce tho government's action.
A representative of the Associated Press
learns that General Buller, first of all, af
ter delivering the speech which resulted
in his retirement, received a personal let
ter from. King Edward, disapproving of
his utterances and clearly intimating that
His Majesty would he glad If General
Buller would resign. Then the War Sec
retary, Mr. Brodrlck, summoned General
Buller and point-blank demanded his res
ignation. It was a stormy interview,
ending in General B"uller's refusal to re
sign. It is said General Buller even then
did not believe that the War Office would
venture to retire him. After the inter
view, Mr. Brodrlck went straight to
King Edward, in Scotland, and the result
of his visit was the action which has now
so stirred up the country.
"Walter Long, president of the govern
ment board, in the course of a long
speech at Liverpool yesterday afternoon,
said the government would defend Gen
eral Buller's appointment to the command
at Aldershot on the grounds of policy
and justice. His dismissal was solely be
cause his recent speech was subversive
to military discipline. Full consideration
has been extended to the case, and the
Cabinet unanimously supported Lord
Roberts' action. Probably no man pos
sessing the traditional qualities of the
British to a greater degree than General
Buller ever wore the King's uniform, but
a greater mistake than his no soldier
could make.
The Scottish Liberal Association, at a
meeting at Sterling, at which Sir Henry
Campbell-Bajjnerman presided, passed a
resolution tlut "the continued existence
of Lord Salisbury's government threatens
the country with humiliation and disas
ter, and the Liberal party should unite
under Sir Campbell-Bannerman's leader
ship for the government's overthrow."
During the course of his speech, Sir
Henry said the Liberals no longer feared
for Ministerial denunciations. The na
tion had lost all confidence in the capabil
ity of the government, though it might
be some time before the nation took en
tirely the same views of the terrible state
of things In South Africa.
IRISH POWER IN PARLIAMENT.
Emerald Isle Has Too Many Mem
bers, Says Chamberlain.
EDINBURGH, Oct 2G. Mr. Chamber
lain, Colonial Secretary, addressing more
than 8000 persons In Waverly Market,
lEdinburgh, announced that the govern
ment Intended to frame new rules for the
House of Commons, so as to limit Irish
obstruction.
"We purpose," he says, "to bring for
ward rules which shall give to the ma
jority of the Commons greater control
over Its own business and greater con
trol over the men who insult and outrage
It, and we shall endeavor to protect the
mother of parliaments from those .who
would destroy her usefulness and reputa
tion." But this is not the only thing Mr. Cham
berlain declared the government intends
to do.
"The present representation of Ireland
is," he said, "an abuse and scandal. No
alteration could be made except in im
mediate anticipation of a general disso
lution, and we are not contemplating
that. But when we get nearer to the
time we snail ask you whether you think
Irien representation is so precious to ybu,
is so valuable to the national Interests
that it is desirable to allow It on a scale
which gives the Irish a representation
enormously exceeding the proportionate
representation of Scotland and England."
The Colonial Secretary went on to point
out that on the basis of population Ire
land had SO members too many in the
House of Commons, and on the basis of
her contributions for Imperial purposes,
as considered at the time of the union,
she had from 40 to 50 members too many.
"I say that this constitutes an abuse,"
he continued, "and there is no reason why
It should be perpetuated."
In another portion of the speech, which
was largely devoted to the Irish ques
tion, he observed:
"If these gentlemen who now openly
shout for the Mahdl and pray for the
Boers, if they had a parliament of their
own, if all of the strings of Irish govern
ment had been In their hands, if they
had the power, it is certain they would
have refused to have paid their contribu
tion to the war, and that would have
placed us in a position of embarrass
ment," Tho relations of the parliamentary op
position of tho Irish party, Mr. Cham
berlain said, he considered "dangerous to
the empire."
In reviewing the war in South Africa,
which he declared "again had been forced
upon Great Britain by the Boers, he said,
the government acknowledged that it had
made a mistake a3 to the time of ending
the war, and that he admired the tenacity
of the Boers, but he insisted that it was
the duty of Great Britain to meet this
tenacity with equal resolution. Then fol
lowed 'what is regarded as a most Import
ant declaration.
"I think the time has come, or is com
ing," said the Colonial Secretary, "when
measures of greater severity may be nec
essary, and if that time comes we can
find precedents for anything we do In the
actions of those nations who now criticise
our barbarity and cruelty, but whose ex
amples in Poland, in the Caucasus, in Al
geria, in Tonquln, in Bosnia and in the
Franco-German War we have never ap
proached." France's New Navy.
BREST, France, Oct. 26. Presiding at
the launching of the armored cruiser Leon
Gambetta, the Minister of Marine, M. de.
Lannessan, said she was one of a new
contingent of upwards of 100 warships,
each of which possesses perfect fighting
qualities. Unless unforeseen difficulties
occur abroad, the naval programme
would be completed in the time fixed by
the Chamber, and then France would en
joy at sea the same security that her nu
merous solid battalions assured her on the
Continent of Europe. While the French
vessels were more costly, they were also
worth more than the ships of other mari
time nations. The French Navy was, he
said, directing its efforts to the fighting
quality of Its ships, rather than to num
bers. Only strong nations could hope hon
orably to preserve peace and liberty.
Spanish-American Treaty.
MADRID, Oct 26. In the Senate today,
Senor Molina interrogated the govern
ment regarding .the negotiations between
Spain and the United States for a com
mercial treaty and the earnest desire of
the shipping interests of Porto Rico that
a treaty be completed. The government
replied that it wished to do everything to
promote national prosperity.
Much blulding Is going on at Hoquiam.

leaving the Philippines there will be many
changes in these organizations, however,
for it is the Intention to exchange Into
them from the other regiments in the
Philippines the men whose terms of en
listment are about to expire.
To take the place of returning troops,
the Department will send out the Elev
enth, Twelfth and Fifteenth Cavalry and
the Twenty-seventh, Twenty-eighth and
Twenty-Ninth Infantry. The cavalry or
ganizations will be brought up to the
maximum strength by recruitment before
they go out, while the Infantry regiments
will be swelled to the exceptional figure
of 1500 meh each. In addition, at least
1000 men will be recruited and sent out
In battallcn organizations for attachment
to depleted regiments in the Philippines.
The Quartermaster's Department is
making every preparation to discharge
this heavy transportation problem, and
It is believed that the movement can be

TELEGRAPH IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Work Accomplished by the Army
Signal Service.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28. General Greely,
Chief of the United States Signal Serv
ice in Washington, returned to New York
on Wednesday on the Columbia, says the
Herald's London correspondent. He was
a recent caller at the American embassy.
General Greely expressed himself as
highly pleased to get back from the Phil
ippines. He has no intention of returning.
During.nis stay there he completed a net
work of telegraph lines from one end of
tho archipelago to the other. The value
of this installation was shown by the fact
that over 10,000 messages a day were trans
mitted between the various military posts
in the Islands.
The Insurrection was a matter of his
tory, except in. a few of the outlying Isl
ands, which were always In a state of re
bellion, even before Admiral Dewey ar
rived at Manila. Civil government was
restored gradually, though, said General
Greely, it would take some time to Amer
icanize the islands. Over 40,000 troops
were still there, but most of. them were
only doing garrison duty.
The outlook for the islands was very
good, in his opinion, and lots of money
might be made by anybody caring to risk
going out there.

GAME WARDEN SCORED.
Indian Agent's Charges Against a
Colorado Official.
WASHINGTON, Oct 26. The game
warden and deputies of Colorado are se
verely arraigned in a report received by
the Indian Bureau today from Indian
Agent Myton of the White Rock, Utah,
reservation, now at Meeker, Colo., after
an Investigation of the alleged infraction
of the Colorado game laws by his In
dians. Mr. Myton reiterates his charges
of persecution of Eggleston, one of the
Indians arrested and acquitted of the
charges, and who was then rearrested.
The Interior Department has asked the
Department of Justice to defend Eggle
ston. The agent says he has ordered
home the very few Indians off his res
ervation found in Colorado, and he will
stay a week longer to see that they go.
He says the Indians from the Southern
Ute and Navajo agency hunt in Colo
rado, and that what they do Is charged
to his Indians. He says he has found it
Impossible to meet a Colorado game war
den or even a special deputy game war
den In the state, although he wired ahead
in order to get from them information
about his Indians. Mr. Myton charges
that the game wardens took the Indians
from Rio Blanco County without any
process of law and that public opinion Is
entirely with the Indians. He says three
Indians were forced to trial without an
Interpreter and 'after being acquitted at
10 o'clock at night, were started at 1
o'clock in the morning, ostensibly for
their agency. "About 10 miles from
Meeker,"' he says, "the Indians dlscoi'
ered that ho (the deputy) had lied to
them and was taking them to the rail
road. They all broke away from the
deputy except old man Eggleston, and he
is now in jail at Glenwood Springs. They
scattered the Indians' property all along
the road and much of It has been stolen
or destroyed. Suits have been brought
against the game warden to make him
pay the Indians damages..

NEW YORK FINANCES.
Gold May Go to Europe to Relieve
Monetary Tension.
NEW YORK. Oct 2G. The .Financier
says:
It is noteworthy that 'since September
20 the Subtreasury has absorbed from
the banks through the fiscal operations
of the Government 516,276,400 and, more
over, these operations last week resulted
in a greater drain from the banks than
for any week since the above date. It
would seem likely that the drain will
continue Important at least for the re
mainder of the year. The effect of these
withdrawals from the Treasury by the
banks will be to some extent counteract
ed in the near future by payments for
gold received at Pacific Coast points,
of which gold there is now about 54.500,000
on deposit awaiting transfer.
There appears, "however, to be a pros
pect for the shipment of gold to Europe
in order to relieve the monetary tension
in London and on the Continent, which
shipment may have a decided Influence
on bank reserves, tending to absorb the
new supplies of old noted above. The
surplus reserve Is now about $S,000,000
higher than it was a year ago, and
some good judges of the situation feel
convinced that the movement of money
to the West for crop purposes Is nearly
ended. With' the drain of money for
crop purpose reduced to, a minimum the
only menace to the surplus reserve will
bethe fiscal operations of the Govern
ment and the movement of gold to
Europe.
The statement of the associated banks
for the week ending today, shows:

TWENTY LIVES LOST.
Another Body Recovered From the
Philadelphia Fire Ruins.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 26. Another
body was recovered early today from the
ruins of Hunt, Wilkinson & Co.'s build
ing, which was yesterday destroyed by
fire, making the number of dead 20. The
body recovered today was so badly
charred as to be unrecognizable. It will
be some days before the number of fa
talities can be determined. Up to this
time the police and firemen have , the
names of 18 people, Including a number
of women, who are unaccounted for.
In order correctly to determine the
number" of missing, officials of the De
partment of Public Safety began a sys
tematic search today of all tho hospitals
and homes of the employes of tho firm.
To facilitate the work of recovering
and Identifying the dead a meeting of
the firm and the employes was held this
morning. The members also met the fire
marshals and building Inspectors to dis
cuss the cause of the fire.
During the day the firemen unearthed
several blackened limbs, which are un
doubtedly portions of the bodies found,
as many of these were without the heads,
arms and legs. A number of employes of
Hunt, Wilkinson & Co., reported missing,
today appeared at the firm's temporary
office.

theaters were chaotic, the cries of the

the confusion. Link boys ran about try

KIDNEY TROUBLE CURED

Hon. Edward G. Wade, District Enu

Statistical Department of the United

LATE REPORT FROM MISS STOXE
AXD HER COMPAMOX.
Negotiations for Her Release Are
Progressing Satisfactorily and
Developments Are Ejected.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 2S. Negoti
ations with the brigands from Melnlk,
in tho Province of Salonica, for the re
lease of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the Ameri
can missionary, and her companion,
Mme. Tsllka, are progressing satisfac
torily, and the officials here hourly an
ticipate Important developments.
Miss Stone and her companion were
alive ifnd well five days ago. Conse
quently, the reported death of Mme.
Tsllka is untrue. This news comes
through a sure channel, which is kept
secret because it is tno one through
which the negotiations with tho brigands
are conducted.
Corroborative Reports.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26. Three ., reports,
each corroborative of the others, have
been received from widely different
sources concerning the movements of the
brigands who hold Miss Stone and Mme.
Tallica captives, according to the Sofia
correspondent of the World. One Is that
the band, which consisted of IS men, has
been dissolved in the mountains near Jel
tepe, and that 13 of the members have
returned to their homes. The remaining
three members are said to have been
made custodians of the prisoners, and it
Is claimed that they are holding them in
the wooded recesses of Jelten whirh i
in Turkey, about 20 miles from the 'Bui.
garian frontier. Another version of the
situation Is, that because of the early and
heavy fall of snow In the mountains, the
brigands and their prisoners have come
down from the mountains and are now lo
cated near Nevrokup, in the foothills or
the mountains In which Jeltepe is located.
The third report comes from Constanti
nople and is to the etfect that communi
cation has been opened with the brigands
from a point In Turkish territory.
Bnlgnrla's Excuse.
NEW YORK, Oct 26. Minister of tho
Interior Sarakaoff, of Bulgaria, has made
the following statement to the Solla cor
respondent of the Journal and Advertiser
concerning the case of Miss Stone:
"If I could send my troops across the
Turkish border. I would find Miss Ktnnp
In two days. I have just received word
rromour troops that Miss Stone Is not in
Bulgarian territory. Wo have three mili
tary cordons moving toward the frontier,
and on the frontier itself I have placed
a military guard. If the brigands were
on our territory the cordons would cer
tainly find them. Ours and the Turkish
troops are now searching In the Perln
Mountains, where, unlike Bulgaria proper,
there are no villages and only a few scat
tered houses in the mountains. If my
troop's nnd the brigands we will make
short work of them."
State Department Confident.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. The State De

opening of communication between the
missionary agents in Turkey, and the bri
gands who kidnaped Miss Stone. In fact,

DEMOCRATS' HOPES.
(Continued from First Page.)
ocrats high hopes of winning tho city
election. Moreover, should Mayor Humes
bo renominated by the "Republicans,
which is possible If not probable the
Law and Order League would probably
nominato an Independent ticket, which
would render Democratic success almost
certain.
The Seattle Democrats will probably
name J. W. Godwin as their candidate for
Mayor. Godwin is a prosperous business
man who swallowed all the theories of
Bryanlsm. He was a delegate to the last
National Dmeocratlc Convention, and has
been somewhat active in politics. He is
personally a clean. man. and his friends
believe he would be particularly strong
among the business element In the May
oralty fight. Godwin's ambitions arc
boundless and It Is generally acknowl
edged that he seeks the Mayoralty only
as a stepping-stone to the Governorship.
The Seattle Democracy has had some
bad factional fights of Its own; but an
effort is being made to eliminate past
causes of dispute. Of late an organiza
tion has been formed modeled somewhat
on the district plan of Tammany except
that each ward, or district. Is looked
after by a committee, which reports to
the central organization. Instead of by
a district leader reporting to a boss. The
plan is to bring every Democratic voter
In the city in direct touch with the party
organization, and make him feel that he
Is a part of It. In this new organization
all old factions are represented, and an
effort has been conscientiously made to
obliterate former differences. This move
ment has been conducted without any
flourish of trumpets, so" secretly, in fact,
that tho opposition newspapers have paid
but little attention to It. Nevertheless,
the Democratic leaders feel that their
work has been most efficacious, and they
declare that the next city election will
see a surprising Increase In the Demo
cratic vote.

snatched from the grave by using it.
Yet in spite of all these things men of
high and low station are enthusiastically

the whole world ought to know the vir

try it. Thank God that I did! It slowiy

"I am satisfied that there Is not a finer
medicine placed before the public today
than Peruna. I have been troubled for
nearly 12 years with kidney and
liver trouble, and at times I have been a
pretty sick man. unable to attend to my
duties. I had about made up my mind
that no medicine would help me when
one of your booklets was brought to my

then decided to give Peruna a trial, and
found that 1 had at last secured the right
medicine for me. For two months I
usedMt faithfully, and then felt so well
I was like a young man once more. This
