Junes HeNsry, at Street Railway Con ductor, Claims That He Talked With Him But Recently. Chicago, Nov. 20. The Daily News this evening publishes the following story: - James McNary, a conductor on car No. 635, of the Sixty-third street line, has sprung a new sensation in the Holmes case, by stating that Benjamin F. Pitezel is alive, and that he recent ly talked with him on his car. Mc Nary claims therejsould be no mistake, for he worked nine months for fitezei and knows the peculiarities of his voice. According to McNary, Pitezel hoarded his car a few davs previous to Holmes' triaL Pitezel's beard had grown around the greater part of his fane, so that he was completeiy dis guised. When addressed, however, hn Admitted his identity and asked as a friend that McNary keep silent, for he was on his way to Phiadelphia; but McNary called in Motorman Letterman and he, too, claims that he had a con versation with Pitezel, who took a transfer to the Cottage Grove cable line. Robert Corbett, who has been fol lowing the case for months in behalf of the Farmers' & Merchants' National bank, Fort Worth, claims he has also seen PitezeL He said to a Daily News reporter: "I never believed Pitezel was dead, for the following reasons: First, when I was searching the 'castle,' some months ago, this man, who resembles the one seen by the conductor and mo torman, and who, I then thought was Pitezel, found me in the building look ing over some papers. He asked me if I had seen a toolchest I told him there was one in the front room. He said that one was not his; that he had left it in the room where I was engaged. I asked him who he was. He said Mrs. Pitezel sent him there for a tool nhest and when I asked him his name he said, after thinking a moment, 'Andrews,' and left" Without the Usual Rash. Lewiston, Idaho, Nov. 20. At noon today over 1,500 settlers and miners, who have long waited an opportunity to take the broad prairies and the promising mineral land on the Nez Perce reservation, put np tneir stakes, posted their notices, and many began an exodus to the nearest iana omce to register their claims. There was no rush to the interior. Tne journey to the desired locations had been made days before, without a sign of legal as sistance, and the man who rode for miles to see a mad rush from the boundaries of the reserve, with the fir ing of cannon and firearms, the shouts and execrations of those who were ahead and behind in the race for the coveted goals, was disappointed. Never in recent years has the opening of a rich reservation to settlement been at tended with less excitement than that of the Nez Perces. The United States made absolutely The United States Will Take No Part In Disrupting the Turkish' Government. Washington, Nov. 20. The Turkish situation is absorbing the attention of the state department at present, and due notice is taken of the various reso lutions adopted by the many religious organizations in the United States. Considering the terribly - disturbed conditions in Armenia, it is believed at the state department that Minister Ter rell has been remarkably successful in his efforts to protect the American mis sionaries and teachers. So far as the misfortunes of the native Christians are concerned, while they may properly excite the sympathy of the entire Chris tian world, the state department claims there is no warrant for interference on the part of the United States, the Ar menians being Turkish subjects, for whose religious freedom the European powers are responsible. Any interpo sition by the United States would not only be in violation pf our traditions, but might be used, it is said, as a pow erful argument to justify European in terference in the affairs of the Ameri can republics. In reference to the rumors that Mr. Terrell has tendered his resignation, it may be stated that the department of state is thoroughly satisfied with his enndnct in everv particular: that it has lent all possible support to him, and that no reason is known which would instifv the assumption that he intends to desert his post in the recent crisis. Admiral Selfridge cabled to the navy department today that he had put in with his flagship San Francisco to Naples to get mail. He will proceed directly to Alexandretta, where he should arrive about Friday next, and will then be in position to extend aid to the Americans and Europeans in that section in the event of further up rising.

The comet was also photographed this morning by Professor Hussey and Mr. Colton. As soon as two more observa tions have been secured the elements of the comet's orbit will be computed at Lick observatory. Released From Jail. Walla Walla, Wash., Nov. 20.

The suit of the Southern Paciflo Railroad Com' pany against the board of railroad com missioners for an injunction to restrain the latter body from interfering witn existing railroad rates, was continued another week, in the United states cir cuit court today. Attorney Fitzger ald, representing the state, said he was not ready to go on, as he had not fully nmnared his case. As there was no opposition to his motion, it was grant ed. The attorney-general expects to be prepared next Monday to argue the case, so no doubt the hearing will go on at that time. testimony. At tne time oi nis iriai he had been in America but a short time, and was unable to speak or un derstand the English language, and was at a disadvantage in defending himself. Several years ago friends be gan endeavoring to secure his pardon, and at the last session of the Knights of Pythias grand lodge, held in Walla Walla, May, 1895, petitions were pre pared, circulated and signed, asting the governor to paraon nim. io par don was received by the warden Satur day and Genino was released on Sun day.

Losses of cattle in transit to Europe were greater than in 1894, being respectively, for 1895 and 1894, 0.62 and 0.87 per cent Over 80,000 cars, carrying over 820, 000 animals, were inspected for Texas fever at quarantine pens during the quarantine seasons, nearly 9,000 oar loads of cattle being inspected also in transit, and over 28,000 oars were oleaned and disinfected. Besides, over 156,000 cattle from non-infected dis tricts of Mexioo were inspeoted for shipment to Northern states. The secretary says their importation free of duty is advantageous to feeders having a surplus of feed and to the consumers, who outnumber the pro ducers. - Much space is devoted to discussing the opportunities for American meat products in foreign markets. Of 841, 000 tons of meat received at the Lon don central market in 1894 71,000 tons -t 1 ert rri were American, wniie neariy uu.wv tons came from Australia. The Amer ican proportion has not been maintain ed during 1895. He closes with a discussion oi roe future of farms and farming. ine average value of farms by the census of 1890 was $2,900. The value of im plements, domestio animals and sun dries will make a total farm plant of 14,000 for a family averaging six per sons. These farms have lea tne iarm ers and their families and 40.000 ur ban residents, besides supplying $500. 000,000 worth of produots for foreign consumers. In the presence of these facts the secretary says: "How can any one dare to assert that farming is generally unremunera tive and unsatisfactory to those wh intelligently follow it?" The mortgages on farm values do not exceed 16 per cent, a less incum brance on the capital invested than in any other line of industry. He fore tells confidently a steady increase in the value of farm lands as the popula tion of the country increases. government, in chartering the roads, that they should continue as one line, operated together, and I think reason able legislation can be enaoted to se cure that result.

Rudolph Nunnemaoher, now visiting in Corea, writes to the Milwaukee Sentinel, giv ine an aooount of the murder of the aneen in October. He says the Japan ese were the instigators of the outrage, and that a body of Japanese soshi com mitted the murder and that they were backed by Japanese troops. When they had gained entrance to the queen's apartments, they found iour women, and being unable to recognize the queen, who had disguised herself, they killed all four. The bodies, after hav ing been slashed and stabbed, were Hd in blankets, carried to the court vard. saturated with oil, and burned, It is reported the queen was cremated alive, not having been dispatched dur ing the slaughter. The Japanese government nas starred an inonirv. and many arrests have been made. An American general, who has been nr.Hnc as vice minister of war for Corea, is said to have been an eye-wit ness of the outrage. He was in com mand of the guard, and made heroic resistance to the assassins. He came near being killed, several bullets pass ing close to him. Had he lost his life the writer says, the Japanese govern, ment might have found itself in seri ons complications with the United States. NATIONAL CAPITAL NOTES. HOlGi!il?ON G. R. FfiRRA, M.
