The Mosquito Chief.
Bluefieldj, Nicaragua, May 18
Mucb has happened here within tbe past
24 boars, and tbe community is conse
quently mucb xcited. Ia the last ac
counts sent from here was reported an
unexpected visit of Robert Henry Ciar.
ence. tbe Mosauite cbief. and his boast
that be would soon be restored to bi
richta tbrousb the intervention of tbe
British and tbe assertion of British Con
sul Hatch that the treaty of Managua
would be upDeld by Great Britain at any
coat. Not only bas Clarence already
realized bis boast, but Aguella, tbe mur
derer of William Wilson, bag escaped
from tbe little jail at Rama.
. Word reached here yesterday morning
from the San Francisco, which was an
chored off tbe blufls, that Robert Henry
Clarence, tbe Mosquito cbief, would be
brought back here today from Pearl La
croon on board tbe British man of-war
Magieienne and domiciled in Biuefitlds to
stay, or, in other words, that be would be
reinstated in his rights as chief of JVlos
quitos by the English. Tbe news created
tbe wildest excitement here and much re
jnicing. Tbe Americans were partic
ularly happy, though tbey ret retted- tbat
for which tbey bad been pleading so
strenuously sboul 1 be dane by tbe Brit
ish instead of by tbe American govern
ment. At 3 o'clock in tbe afternoon tbe
gicienne arrived and last night the
San Francisco departed for Grey town to
take Consul Braid a ta bis post of duty,
leaving this place without an American
official representative. It is understood
that American interests are temporarily
in the care of British representatives.
Tbe New York bas not yet amyed. All
tbe Nicaraguan troops have been witn-
drawn frcm the city of Blnefields and
ect into the interior, witb tbe exception
of s lew men who are on tbe bluffs and
are not numerous enough to create any
trouble. Tbe next event to ruffle tbe
serenity which has been the oider of the
day for some time past was tbe reported
escape of Aguella, tbe murderei of Wil
liam WiUon, tbe American, at Kim a, on
Wednesday last. Governor Raenog, tbe
new official at Rama wbo suppUnted
Torres, immediately started on a bunt
lor him, but was unable to uead bim.
Rucling arrived bere last night and re
ports that Aguella is located in a dense
UDCle, two miles from Kama, wnere it is
almost impossible to get at him . -
Storms in the JCasr.
Chicago, May 18 The worat storm of
tbt season bas raged all day en Lake
Michigan, and grave fears are entertained
tor tbe safety of such craft as put out
from port last night 00 a smooth sea.
Tbe wind is from tbe northwest, blowing
S3 miles an hour, and extends generally
over tbe entire lake region. Half a dozen
schooners tnd smaller crafts bave foun
dered off this city during the day; a score
er more are dismantled ' and stove in,
making an almost hopeless fight against
tbe gale and tbe buge waves that every
ew minutes sweep over tnem, enoaoger-
ing tbe lives ef those wbo are still on
hoard. It bas been a day ot oeraic enort
and great suffering for the lit-saviqg
crews scattered along the shore At least
30 vessels are anchored outside tbe b ar
bor waiting for t,be storm to subside. All
are more or less damaged, and tbe signals
ef distress that bave appeared among
tbem from time t time during tbe day
bave kept tbe life savers busy. Twenty
five or thirty meh bave been brought in,
all exhausted and suffering intensely
trom tbe exposure and cold. In several
cases help arrived too late, and a corpse
was found among tbe nail conscious
sailors, Wbo, benumbed by tbe cold and
unable to protect themselves, w re ar
most beaten to death by tbe furious
waves. '-AH 9gbt tne storm nai nut
abated, and every hour increases tbe
peril of these ' aboard of tbe numerous
vessels outside the barber, pulling at
their anchors and in imminent danger of
being brought into collision with each
other, or el being pounded to pieces on
tbe beaches. Scenes' ef horror, that
chilled tbe blood of thousands ot apecta
tors, were enacted in the barber fer' two
miles below the Illinois Central depot in
tbe early evening. As tbe stcrm inr
creased io violence daring tbe afternoon,'
be.wa.es p-rew mouniams bigb, dashing
over the breakwater, delugiotr the tracks
and enveloping tbe passing trains
torrents of spray. .

Wrecks all Alons: cite Shore.
Chicago, May 18 Dispatches from
many points in this section show" the
great storm ot today was geoeral, and a
great deal of minor damage was done.
Along tbe lake shore, both in Wisconsin
and Michigan, tbe storm was one of great
severity. It Is feared mtoy serious ma
rine disasters are yet unreported. A
Michigan C'y, lod., two schooner weie
driven ashore, but' the prews were res
cued. Tbe Crops were nuiaed io North
Calhoun and Booth Berry counties. At
Port Huron, Mich., tbe schooner William
Stiupe. owned by Captain Little,' is re
ported waterlogged oil Port atnilac tit
torts are being made to rescue tbe crew,
wbo are in tbe rigging.. It was reported
today that' tbe propeller Colorado, owned
in Port Huron, was lost on Lake Erie
with all bands,
Tbe American Union is still on the reef
at Thompson's harbor. Lumbermen lost
a 4.000,000 raft above Pre que island
this afternoon. At Racine, Wis., it is re
ported tbe wood laden schooner Kewau
nee bas been lost. George Dickinson, of
Racine, his wife and child are on board
Hnw the Briber Planaed.
Richmond, Va., May 18 H. O. Cle-
gett, private secretary of Senator Han
ton, gives an interesting story of tbe
manner in which the effort was made to
bribe Hunton . Butiz went to Warren'
ton with letters and sought an interview
witb Epha Hunton, jr., tbe senator's son.
He approached Mr. Hunton as an attor
nev and told bim he wished to engage
bis seryiees in an important case. He
also tald him bis tee was to be $35,600
or more.. He asked Bultz what manner
of service was required in consideration
of such a handsome fee,' and then it was
that Bnltz delicately intimated it was to
secure bis father's vote against tbe tariff
bill. Mr, Hnoton indignantly ordered
bim from tbe offioe, and also acquainted
bis father witb tbe tact. Senator Haa
ton laid the matter before tbe financ
committee, and tb.ey prevailed on him to
keep it quiet till tbey might obtain a few
lac io tne case.
Would Not Sit With Coxey.
Philadelphia, May IS Coxey made
a sensation bere tonight by appearing at
tbe Clover (Jiuo dinner. Alter be was
invited Colonel B. EL McClure, exMin
ister Charles Emery Smitn, Major-Gen-
eral Suowden, Colenel John L Rogers and
other nembers of the club satd that they
would not sit at the dinner with Coxev
Tbey were told be would not be there
go they came, but Cexey came, too.
Wben Colonel McClure walked in witb
ex Governor Curlin there was a lively
row. Coxey was enticed trom tbe Belie
rue hotel, where tbe dinner was spread,
and taken to tbe Art Club by Colonel
Toomas Donaldson.- Then tho dinner re
sumed. General Snowden told tbe C.fo-
verites that be would net dine wit!
Coxev. as he might soon bave .occasioa
to meet that "general" io a sterner con
flict. Coxev was angry over the turn
down, bdt sought solace with some gen
lal fnenas.
N. Writ For Ci.xey.
Washington, May 18 Judge Bradley
of the district supreme court, this after
noon refused ta grant tbe writ of cer
tiorari aplied for by counsel for Coxey,
Browne and Jones, tbe commonweal army
leaders, and thus defeated tbe hope Of
the C xeyites of bringing up for review
tbe proceedings in the police court whicb
ended in their conviction, tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock the convicted
Coxev ites will be brought up before
Judge Miller fer sentence, tbe judge
having now received bis recommission.
Attempt to Wreck a Train.
Worcester Mass., May 18 Tramps
attempted to wreck tbe night express on
the Boston & Albany road near Cot da
ville by piling a ton of fishplates on the
track. A train going 49 miles an hour
went through tbe obstruction, only the
locomotive being injured.
The Coo t Isnvr- d
St. Paul, Mav 19 Two hundred Cox-
eyites trom Washington captured a
.Northern Pacific trtia at Heron, near the
Idaho-Washiugton line, this morning.
and were not intercepted until .Ariee, a
station 145 miles east, was reached. So
soon as word was received at the com
pany's headquarters. General Manager
Kendrick called upon the war department
tor assistance in regaining possession of
the stolen train, and orders were issueJ
at once to the troops stationed at Fort
Missoula. At tbe same time, Mr. Ken
drick issued orders to tbesuperintendents
on all divisions affected to offer eyery ob
struction possible to tbe passage of the
train consistent with safety. The Heron
mob was in charge of a man named Blair,
and tbe train consists of 13 cars . It was
in charge of Engineer Ross. They pro
ceeded eastward from Heron at something
like 40 miles an honr. Kails were torn
p at several places, and a slide of rock
blockaded the tracb at Paradise, but all
bftacles were overcome, and the men
ran tbe train as far as Arlee, where it was
taken into custody by United States Dep
uty Marshal Heally. Tbe men will be
held at Arie tonight, and in tbe morning
be taken to Helena for trial in tbe United
States court. No one was hurt and no
shots were fired. i
ANOTHER ATTEMPT-
At Kingston, Idaho, 45 industrials
boarded another Northern Pacific train,
but the engine was cut loose and taken
to Wardner Junction. Tbe regular train
from Wallace for Missoula was not sent
out this morniDp; as usual, tbe engines
being taken over tbe bill , last night to
prevent tbe 'wealers from stealing tbe
train.
One Highwayman Less.
Stockton, Cal ., May 19Two masked
men made an attempt to hold up the
Mat phv'8 stage this morning 13 - miles
above Milton Tbe robbers did not suc
ceed in stopping tbe stage, as tbe horses
were going at a lively gait wben tbe com
mand to bait was given. A robber stood
on each side of the road and messenger
Hendricks, who was on tbe seat of tbe
stage, dropped one of tbem, letting him
bave both barrels of bis .shotgun loaded
with buckshot. At tbe same time Hen
dricks fired, both robbers also shot, one
of tbem dropping dead as tbe result of
Hendricks' fire, and tbe survivor fired
again at tbe moving stage, and seriously
wounded Miss Ella Bray, a young lady
passenge from Stockton, and S. H. Hume,
f Murphy's, another passenger. M'
Bray was shot through tbe bead and may
not recover. She was left in care of peo
ple wbo live near the scene of tbe at'
tempted hold-op. Mr. Home, of Mur
phy's, was wounded in the shoulder, but
his hurt is not serious. He went to stock-
ton for medical . treatment. The dead
robbers' body was riddled with Buckshot
and be dropped in his tracks. He was
about 35 years old, 6 feet tall, light com-
plexiou and weighed about 180 pounds.
His companion lost bis hat in bis baste
to escape, and will probably be captured,
a he has but little start of bis pursuers.
A though no one knows the robbers,

Pratt mines, and farther trouble is
feared. .
tfellewera, la Anarchy.
Washington, May 19 It is virtually
admitted at the stste department that
information relating to French anarchists
hs been received, and it is plainly intu
mated tbattintormation of a aimi'ar char
acter bat also been secured from . other
nations besides France. No anthoritative
statement can be obtained as to whether
tbe initiative in tbis matter was taken by
tbe United States or by European conn-
tries, but tbe indications are - all ta tbe
effect that American diplomatic represen
ta'ives abroad were directed seme - time
ago to convev an expression of tbe will
ingnesa of tbis government to exebange
information relative to tbe movements of
anarchists, and that all European nations
bave sbown a disposition toextead to me
United States tbe system of exchange
which bas been successful in operation in
Europe. It is understood that tbe resi
dences of all anarchists, whether living
at home or abroad, will be made known
by each foreign government entering
into this reciprocal arrangement.

state fair,, beautifully illustrated, -and
which will be held in Tacema from Aug
ust 15th ta November 1st The following
hi an excerpt from the prospectus regard
ing the fair:
!The Northwest Interstate fair, to be
held at the oity ef Tacoma daring the
summer and fall of 1894, and Which par-
poses to present to the world a combined
exhibit of the natural and industrial re
sources of the six fallowing common
wealths, to-wit; Mentan sldaho, Oregon,
Washington, Alaska and British Colum
bia, will be an exhibit af special features
that have not heretofore been similarly
presented in any country, and will be
such as will attract general attention of
the public Such an exhibit will nat
only present to the mind af all visitors
some knowledge of our resources, their
extent and location, bat will bring to
their realization tbe opportunity whie h
they now have to become possessed of the
source of such resources, either by loca
tion, entry or purchase.
"A fair representing a special portion
of a country is of equal value to that
particular locality, with those which em
brace a Bation or the world. It has been
repeatedly proved that an exhibit repre
senting a special portion or a country,
calling and inviting the world to witness
It, has accomplished more good directly
and indirectly for that special section of
the country than a national or world's
fair exhibit, The reason is apparent to
any one."

He Gave Thanks.
Ah Doon,a Chinaman, was attacked about
two years ago while enroute to Prineville by
masked men, and among other injuries done
to him his cue or long braid was severed
from his head. The celestial reached the
town io a dilapitated condition physically,
and finally engaged in the restaurant bust
ness. Financially he was successful, but he
was always in great trepidation, lest white
men would re-enact the scene he experienced
on his first journey to the town. He rarely
showed himself on the streets after night,
and was afraid to leave the little city. Early
this spring he conceived a notion to visit a
cousin in San Francisco, and quietly made
a-rangements for his departure. ' He told
no one of his intention, and late at night
went to tbe hotel where the stage driver
slept and awakened him. , After being in
formed by Mr. John Martin tbat he should
not go to any place that night ; tbe China-
i unfolded his plans, and asked the
driver if he had a revolver. On receiving
a negative answer, Ah Doon gave him one
and retired. The next morning the celes
tial was at the stab's, and ready to depart
wben the horses were harnessed. For a
considerable distance the road was through
timber, and in gulches where robbers could
easily secret themselves. ' It was the dark
hour before sunrise, and Ah Doon trembled
at every turn in the road. . Mr. Marlin de
lights in a joke as well as any man, at
every dark place would stop the team and
grab his pistol. Doon became very much
frightened, and holding his revolver would
inquire, "John, what's matter?" Tbe answer
would come in the coolest manner, "noth
ing. only a rabbit." This was repeated by
Marlin a half-dozen times, and the celestial
became so nervous that he could scarcely
keep his seat. The stage drove into the
open p'ain on Willow creek, just as the sun
gilded the eastern hills, and Ah Doon
heaved a sigh of relief, and grasping Mr.
Marlin by the shoulder, asked him: "Yon
eabe God?" To which Marlin answered in
the affirmative. Then the Chinaman raised
his eyes heavenward, and in a joyful tone
exclaimed "All light.. , Tlank God for Wil
low cleek and daylight."
Doon has arrived in San Frtnolsoo safe
and sound, and Marlin never misses an op
portunity to tell of the fear experienced by
the Chinaman while passing thronga the
woods and of his great 'joy when he
Hanked God" for Willow creek and day
light.
