Death on the Rail Drowned In Tank- Christians MassacredKilled in a Train IVreck-.The Bannocks Returning- Home. Chicago, Aug. 2. The police have at last obtained a partial confession from Pat Quinlan, the janitor of the Holmes "castle, "and have, they believe, positive evidence that Benjamin F. Pietzel was murdered in this city by Holme?, and the corpse sent to Phila delphia. The confession was wormed out of Quinlan by means of a tip given tne local emeers Dy .Detective tieyer. of Philadelphia, who arrived here to day. The exact nature of the story told by the Quinlains the police will not reveal, and, in fact, Chief Bade noch and Inspector Fitzpatrick have both denied that Quinlan or his wife made any confession at all. Kotwith standing the denial, however, it is positively known that Quinlan made and uigned a confession because it was left where Quinlan's signature on the document could be seen, although the subject matter under which he wrote his name could not be ascertained Tonight, however, it was learned that a confession was made covering all details of the murder of Pietzel, with the exception of the actual place where the crime was committed. This the police declare they will have to morrow. The confession was obtained from the Quintans only after the hardest kind of work and at the price of a promise of immunity from punishment for all part the yuiulans may have borne in the murder of Pietzel or other crimes committed by Holmes. Mrs. Quinlan knew of the disappear ance of Mrs. Connor in Holmes 'castle" 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 return from a trip to the Quinla" farm at Lakeview, Mich. Chief Badenock took Mrs. Quinlan and her husband to the "castle" today with Irjnpector Fitzpatrick and Detec tives Fitzpatrick and Norton. The object of the trip was more for the purpose of letting Quinlan and his wife meet than any other. FORCED TO LEAVE ECUADOR. A Benedictine Sister Tells of Persecutions They Endure. New York, Aug. 2. The story of the five Benedictine sisters, who re turned from Ecuador to St. Walterg, a convent in Elizabeth, having been driven from Ecuador by the outrages the church is at present being sub jected to there by the liberal revolu tionists, was investigated by a reporter. bister n.awarata, wno was seen at the convent, said: "We, nice the three sisters, liene- vieve, Josephine and Frances, left for Ecuador nearly eight years ago to establish a school there. We were assigned to Bahia de Caraquez, from1 which place we have jnst returned giving up a school of over 70 pupils. We, however, were more fortunate than they were, and did not suffer personal violence, although we were constantly insulted and were often in fear of our lives. Every band of marauding revolutionists which passed the convent cried 'Down with the cassocks 1 They accused the church of being friendly to the government: two weens ago tne convent at Rocafeurte, which contained 10 sisters, was surrounded by a mob which de manded - entrance. It was refused, whereupon the leader commanded the men to lire on the convent and its in mates. At this moment a friendly Ecuadorian appeared, and running between the men and the convent, directly in the line of fire, asked them to desist, informing them that none but women were there. - During the delay thus caused a number our sym pathizers gathered and dispersed the mob. "Such outrages became so frequent that we at last felt compelled to leave in order to save ovr lives, as has all other sisters and l : in Ecuador. Seventeen sisters are expected on the next steamer, and no more missionary work will ' be attempted ' in Ecuador until the revolution is over." Killed by a aV.-Un. - Pendleton, Aug. 2. A young man attempted to steal a ride on the break beam of the passenger trail last night at Umatilla, going to-var l Portland. He failed to get a secure soat and was dragged, holding to the brake rod. He was picked up by the traimmen nearly dead, and sent back to Pendle ton this morning. His legs were broken and crushed to a jelly by beat ing on the ties, and his body was burned by heat from friction. He gave the name of J. B..Hunt. but died on the train before giving further par ticulars. It has been discovered by the offic ials that he is the son of J. J. Hunt, a well-to-do hotel-keeper of Port Towns end. He was a youth of about twenty years. Drowned In a Swimming; Tank. Seattle, Aug. 2. Edwin Hector, aged twenty-three years, was found dead in 6 feet of water in the swim ming tank of the Y. M. C.

Indians Are Returning to Their Beser . j - ' vations. T, -. Washington, . Aug. 2. The latest news from General Coppioger received at tLa war department vkheadquartert at Omaha, Is reassuring. A dispatch dated Omaha, yesterday, follows: "A report was received from Market Lake this morning which indicates that the Indians are returning from Jackson Hole by a straight line to their reservations. To test the cor rectness of this the Union Pacifit rail way officers was asked to telegraph for information to stations along the Ore gon Short Line from Soda Springs westward. The following reply is from the division superintended! at Pocatello. " 'The stagedriver who has just reached Soda Springs says he left Car raboo this morning. He came through the Gray's lake and Blackfoot river countries. He reports 200 Bannocks at Gray's lake on their way from Jack son Hole to the reservation. They say there has been no fighting, and no desire to fight on their part. The scare seems to be over, and the set tlers understand that the Indians are trying to make their way back to their reservations to avoid the troops. This information is thoroughly reliable.' " RIOTS AT SPRING VALLEY. Foreign Miners and Negroes Preparing For Hostilities. Chicago, Aug. 5.-?A special to the Posf, from Spring Valley, 111., says: Foreigners under the leadership of Italians and negroes, who have con centrated their forces at Seatonville, are both organizing today and as the towns are practically under mob law. a aeaaiy conflict is anticipated. JNon-H.ns'lisn speaKingr miners in Spring Valley, to the number of 2000, held a mass meeting today and passed a resolution that no negroes, men. women or invalids be allowed to re main inside the city limits after 5 o'clock tomorrow evening. Speeches of the most inflammatory nature were made, advocating the immediate open ing up oi hostilities. ine negroes at seatonville held a meeting-later and organized for active service, uereau county has 3UU re peating Winchester rifles stored in the courthouse at Princeton for the protec tion oi citizens, and an effort will be made to secure these. Should this fail men will arm themselves with shotguns and rifles and small arms and make an effort to regain their homes and house hold goods. The negroesalso passed a resolution that they would continue to worn in tneaprinir valley mines until discharged by the coal company. As the police and sheriff are making no effort to arrest the rioters the lawless ness is increasing. in addition to the negroes reported injured in yesterday's conflict. Wash ington Anderson. Arach Fleming, Sam Johnson and Lewis Martin are missing. It is the opiuion that two at least are lying dead in the woods, as farmers re port having seen their bodies. CIRCULAR FROM DEBS. He Says the American Railway Union Is Growing Daily. TERRE Hute. Ind., Aug. 5. A cir cular from President Eugene V. Debs, of the American Railway Uuion, is being sent out from the headquarters here. It is addressed to the local unions. In the introduction President Debs says the union is growing daily and that all doubt has been dispelled as to its permanent character. Unions that were believed to be dead have arisen as by magic. The three months' sentence which the directors are serving will expire August 22, and on that day they will renew their official duties. The president serves a six months' sentence which does not expire until November 22, when he will join the rest in the campaign, in the interest of labor. He concurs in the recom mendation of Master Workman Sov ereicrn, that labor day, September 2 be "dedicated to a solemn and mighty protest against the unconstitutional and un-American decisison of the federal courts, by virtue of which trial by jury has been abrogated and civil liberty bludgeoned to death." The latter hall ol the circular is de voted to an attack on the old brother hoods. He says they are disgraced or dead, or both. FOSTI-TWO WOUNDS. Autopsy Held Upon the Assassinated Mexican Editor. CITY OP Mexico, Aug. 5. An au topsy has been held upon the body of Jesus Olmosy Contros, the congress man and journalist, who was assassin ated in Puebla. It revealed the fact that he had been stabbed 42 times in the chest, and would probably have been stabbed oftener had not one of the daggers been broken, the blade remaining imbedded in the muscles. The heart was penetrated twice by a weapon wielded by a very -strong hand and with sure aim. Other stabs might apparently have been done by blind men, so wild was their direction. Nothing at present is known as to the authors of the deed, but indications show clearly that it was an act of private vengeance, done by men who so timed their crime as to elude the vigilance of two policemen who were in the neighborhood of the street where the body was found. Both officers have stated that they neither saw nor heard anything unusual during the night. REBELS DISPERSED. Insurgents Fared Badly In Recent En. counters. Havana, Aug. 5. Lieutenant ColonerMolina, at the head of a force of auxiliary troops, in a skirmish today with the insurgents commanded by the well-know leader, Malagas, - at Sabana Torres, near Rosario Vieji, in the province of Santa Clara, dispersed them. The insurgents left four dead and had many wounded. Among the killed was Captain Jose Reyes Candera, whose body was fully identified. On the side of the troops one corporal and one guerilla was seriously wounded. Lieutenant Ruiz, at the head of a squadron of cavalry, has had a brush with the insurgent .band commanded by Botonos at Seborucal, province of Santa Clara. The insurgents lost three killed and had eight wounded. Captain Canada? exchanged shots with the insurgents commanded by Bermudez and Numez. The insurgents had five wounded. Attempted Violence. San Francisco, Aug. 5. The first attempt to do violence to Theodore Durrant. on trial for the murder of Blanche Lamont, since his incarcera tion was made today as the defendant was leaving the court room. The pris oner was in the custody of the chief jailer, when a wild-looking young man rushed from the crowd towards Dur rant, with the evident intention of as saulting him. The jailer threw him off before he could reach Durrant, and the assailant then tried to draw his pistol. He was seized by two deputy sheriffs before he could aim his weapon. It is believed that the assail ant was insane.- A seventh juror to try Durrant was secured at the morn ing session of the court in the person of H. J. Smyth, a retired farmer. The Powers to Act. LONDON, Aug. 4. -The Anglo-Armenian Association learns from Con stantinople that the signers of -the Berlin treaty have agreed to send a note to the porta announcing that, as Turkey is unable to protect the lives of her Christian subjects, the powers have decided to appoint an European high-oommissioner, with vice-regal au thority to administer Armenia in Dlaca ot the sHttan. Baron Kalloway will be - appointed. He comes from an ancient family of Hungary. A tm IS WIPED OCT Sppague Visited by a Destruc tive Fire Saturday. MANY HOMELESS The Business Portion is Destroyed, and Families Are Without Food or Shelter. unristlan Missionaries Massacred by an Infuriated Mob In China Horrible Details High Officials Impli cated In the Crime. Sprague, Wash., Aug. 3. The entire business portion of Sprague is in ashes, hundreds are homeless to nig-ht, and the losses will aggregate i,2ou,otw. rne town is almost desti tute of food, and Mayor Sanderson has sent messages to the leading cities ap plying lor aid. The people are ap palled Dy tneir irigntiui losses, and it will be several flays before they will Know whether to try to rebuild the city or not. At noon today the nre alarm -was sounded for a blaze in Bryant's chop ano ieeo mm, corner ot Kaiiroad ave nue and U street. . The department responded promptly, but the blaze was quickly tanned into a roaring furnace, and the fire boys were driven back from the scene almost as soon as they arrived, with lightning rapidity the flames leaped from one building to another, and inside of five minutes it was seen that the entire town was tereatened. As the flames reached the corner of G street they forked, one branch going nortn ot the railroad track and con suming on its way the Northern Pacific grain warehouse, the National hotel, and the entire row of wooden buildings to the corner of B street. There it turned off to the Pacific hotel, and the row of wooden buildings in the rear of it. From there it jumped to the old headquarters building, and Porak's brewery, totally destroying the latter and the proprietor's residence. Meanwhile, the southern fork, with equal rapidity, consumed the build ings on Railroad avenue, r iret and Second streets, including the Com mercial hotel, the Herbring opera house, the city hall, R. Newman & Co.'s and the Masonic hall. From there the flames leaped to the buildings west of the carshops, and in another minute they burst forth in flames. It was impossible to do anything to save the railroad buildings, for the water pipes had bursted in that part of the city. rive minutes later a terrible ex plosion accurred as the oil tanks bursted and the timbers and flames rose high in the air. The fire was checked on the west side by the brick buildings of the Frst National' bank and of Jensen, King & Co., the occupants of these buildings placing wet blankets ovr windows and fighting the flames des perately. Mayor Sanderson at this time ar rived from Medical Lake, and ordered the building of Ben Ettleson, on the corner of C and Frst streets, blown up with dvnamite. This was done, and the entire row of business houses on C street, between Frst and Second, was saved. The flames here took a southeasterly direction and destroyed the drug store of W. F. .Putnam, the Masonic ball the county jail, the old opera house, the residences of R. R. Jones and E. H. Stanton. The flames were at this point checked by the blowing up with dynamite of the old opera house and the row of trees in front of H. W, Bonnes' residence, and the deluge of water. The fire swept east as far as the stockyards, completely obliterating in its course every residence and business house in that part of the city.- Fully AZO acres of land were burned over, every building thereon being com pletely wiped out. Archie Mocintosh, a blacksmith, was knocked down by falling timbers and betore he could be rescued was severely burned about the face, neck and arms. James Montgomery broke his leg in jumping from one of the en gines on the turntable. Charles Moore, a member of the hre department, stepped into a hole, back of the round house, and sprained his ankle so badly that he had to be carried away. The prisoners in the county jail were released when the fire was about one block away, and they did excellent work in assisting the neighboring business houses to take their goods to a place of safety, but after the fire was under control they disappeared. - Sphague, Aug. 4. Sunday In Sprague has been a day of unceasing labor, instead of rest. All day long throngs of people have been upon the streets viewing the scene of yesterday's awful conflagration. No new fires were started today, but-all over the burned districts the embers of yester day were still smoking, -nd in many places the fire had not diminished to any great extent. The coal bunkers of the Northern Pacific railroad are still burning at a lively rate, and the indications are that the fire may last for several days, for many hundreds of tons ot coal lay in the burning neap. The forenoon was passed in tearing down dangerous walls and in remov ing every structure which might pos sibly cause an accident. At 4 o'clock this morning a iracn nas oeen iaia around the ruins and the passenger and freight trains have been running the same as usual today. Everything in the shape of a house belonging to the Northern Pacific which would burn was burned, besides 24 engines and about 59 freight cars. Very few of the cars were loaded, the principal part of them being cars which were under going repairs at the shops.1 Everv available building left stand ing in the city is in use, and many families are living in tents. The more fortunate are rendering every, means that lies in their power to their less fortunate neighbors, and in some in stances one roof is covering several families. While many persons and families lost everything they owned in the fire, no cases of suffering have yet been re ported. Thankato the good people of Spokane and neighboring towns, a good supply of provisions arrived in the city last night, and were distri buted today among the people known to be the most needy.

The consul-general's dispatch is as follows: "The Americans are all safe; none hurt. Ten British were killed." " Although Mr. Joinigan does not use the word "missionaries" in the dis patch, there is no doubt felt by the officials of the state department that it relers to them, and that bis dispatch is intended as suplementary to that of yesterday. The cablegram was at once forwarded to Secretary Ciney, at bis summer home, for his information. Some of the Horrible Details. London, Aug. 4.

SITUATION IN ARMENIA. The Condition of the Natives Said to Be Worse than Ever. LONDON, Aug. 5. The Daxlti Nem has advices dated Armenia, July 29, which says: The condition or tne Armenians is worse than ever. They regard Shakir Pasha as their worst enemy and his appointment as a con temptuous defiance of Europe's de mand. Deliberate persecution, slaughter and pillage of the Armenians are pursued today with the same ruth less vigor and nendish ingenuity as in former years. Every day news ar rives of fresh murders, wholesale im- prisoment and pillages. The authori ties in the great towns from time to time march heavily-manacled gangs of limping and wounded Armenians prisoners through the streets. If the sultan is courting revolution he will surely have his way. Unless the per secution is stopped the country will soon be in such a blaze that nothing short of Russian occupation will ex tinguish it. Five Persons Drowned, NEW YORK, Aug. 5.

In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ainf August S, 1805. . Weather Cloudy and threatening weather with light sprinkles of rain were the features of the weather dur ing the first portions of the week, while during the latter part no rain fell and the weather became decidedly warm. The few SDrinklea of rai curred in widely separated sections, and were so light as to be unimportant! Special fruit Report Fruit ship ments from Walla Walla. The Dallea and Hood River are the largest ever known; this is considered the index of the situation. Flattering reports coma from many sections concerning the in crease of acreage, care of the trees.' amount and quality of the product and increase of shipments or the demand. - Our correspondent at The Dallea writes: "All kinds of fruit are in a No. 1 condition; apples are nearly, If not quite, free from codlin moth and ' are large acd nice for export; fruit pests have practically been destroyed through the agency of the spray pump." Peaches, apricots, apples, plums and prunes are verv o-ood crons and of superior quality. In many sec tions the new orchards have com menced to bear; this is especially so In Union county, and in that county the fruit crop is placed slightly below the " average, with the exception of the prune crop, which will mature a fall yield. Peach plums are ripening and are in market. The Wallowa county grape promises a good crop. Owing , to the drouth complaints coma from some sections of fruit falling to ma ture and falling from the trees. - In Malheur county .the shipments ot fruit are lighter than they are in other sec tions. It is likely in this county the home demand will consume most of the crop. While fruit pests are pres ent in all sections, it is generally con ceded that they have been' materially reduced and fruit has not materially suffered by them. The cherry crop has been harvested. In Wasco county the fruitgrowers are setting out many strawberry plants; the acreage of strawberries will be frreatly increased. Wheat, oats and barley are being harvested with progress, and many fields are completed. Harvest of serin? grain will soon commence, but In many sections of Umatilla. Morrow and in sections south of the Blue mountains spring grain, If cut at all, will be used for hay. The Walla Walla valley and portions of Wasco and Sherman counties will produce ex cellent yields of good Quality. In other sections of the Columbia river valley there will be much small grain and some badly shriveled. So far there has not been a great amount of threshing done. In all of the streams the water is lower than is usual at this time in the season. Pastures are still drying and grass is becoming scarce; for this reason stock is gett.ng thin. Grasshoppers are still numerous and destructive. . WARM SPRINOS. The New School at The Agency Indian Affairs, Crops, Etc Mr. W. J. Carter, superintendent of the Indian school at Warm Springs reservation, gave the T. M. office an agreeable call today. There are 150 children on the reservation of school oge, but the school will accommodate only 60. A new building is being erected at Warm Springs, which will be large enough to accomodate all. The material is on the ground and the foundation is being prepared; but it will be nearly a year before the build ing will be ready for occupancy. At present the school Is at SImnasho, about twenty miles from the agency. When the structure Is completed the school at Simnasho ' will be discontin ued, and the building at Warm Springs . will be the only one used ior school purposes. The United Presbyterians, who have a church at Simnasho, and a resident missionary, objected very strongly against the removal of the school; but th department took action without consulting the missionary au thorities. Simnasho is on the north side of the reservation and the agency is on the south side; but the business is transacted at the latter place, and for this reason the new school building will be more available. Crickets have created great havoo with grain in the northern part of the reservation: but the pests cannot cross the Warm Springs river, and for this reason farms in the vicinity of the agency are free from the scourge. The crops harvested this year will be very light. - Lieut Farber, of the Eight Cavalry, is now the resident agent on the reser vation, and he has been very success ful in the management of the Indians. He has almost completely oroicen up the habit of promiscuous living togeth er of the sexes, and in every instance brought to his knowledge he forces them to be married or to separata. A violation of this order he punishes by imprisonment, and this ham had a salu tary effect upon tne morais oi tne peo nla. The marriage relation Is re spected, and the Indiana are becoming to understand its sancity the same as their white neighbors. The Warm Spring Indians have always been true friends to the white people, and It la right that all should take an interest in their welfare. Claim Sold. We received a call this morning from Mr. L.
