H CLACKING MURDERED And Then Burned in the Hotel Sit uation in Omaha Critical House of Commons. Pendleton Or., August 12. Sensational developments were promised In the Transfer House fire, arnd they have come. Hints have been given that the authori ties suspected murder and robbery as features of tbe tragedy. Today the charge of murder was laid at' the door of two young men, Frank Whetstone and S. Moore, known as "Kid" Moore, who were arrested the day following the fire, and held for the larceny of a piece of melted gold secured from the debris of the hotel while they were raking the ashes. The state caused a continuance from day to day until today, when the larceny case wag dismissed and the prisoners were immediately re-arrested on a complaint charging tihem with robbing George II. Clacking in the Transfer House, and while committing this crime,' murdering their vlotim, Clacking. The examination takes place tomorrow. Clacking was a guest of the hotel and was burned In the fire. He came from Cascade Locks and was a member ot tbe Knights of Pythias lodge and secre tary 0 the Elks' lodge at the Locks. United States District Attorney Murphy appeared before United States Commis sioner Beam In Pendleton this afternoon In the first of a dosto or so of cases agilnst the settlers for Umber depredations. IXpu-ty United Slates Marshal Bentley has 'been working up the cases for sev eral weeks. John Luke and S. R. Thomas were held to the United States grand Jury at Portland. The defendants bad no coun sel, tout gaid they were 'attempting .to es tablish squat tiers' rights, . thinking the land was. not open to homestead entry or for sale. GOLD WITHDRAWN. Another Bond Issue Not Liable to Take Place. Washington, August 12. The treasury today lost $1,650,000 In gold for export to Europe, leaving the reserve only about $1,800,000 above the hundred million limit Mr. Curtis, acting secretary, said he had no specific Information and could not say whether the syndicate would allow the $100,000,000 to be encroached upon or not. This heavy withdrawal has given rise to a report that another bond Issue Is Impending, but there Is now no one In Washington who can speak authoritative ly on the subject, or who has Information not shared by the public. The best opin ion is that the syndicate will not allow the reserve to be encroached upon until after Otcober 1, when, as Is generally un derstood, their obligation ceases. But in the evsnt of still further withdrawals It Is believed that President Cleveland and Secretary Cleveland would see the reserve reach a point below any that It has yet 'touched before they would take any steps to recoup it by another sale of bonds or the purchase of gold. Thd best Judgment obtainable here Is that there will be no bond Issue or extra session of congress except In tbe event of continued heavy withdrawals, whicg are not looked for. OPENING OF HOUSB OF COMMONS. (Copyrighted 1896 by Associated Press.) London, August 12.-One of the most In terested spectators of the opening of the house of commons today was Charles F. Crisp, ex-speaker of the house of rep. resenitatlves. Mr, Crisp was present in the speakers' gaMery at a special invita tion of William Court Cully, who was re elected speaker of the house of commons today. At the request of the Associated Press Crisp wrote the following account of his impression formed at the opening of the house of commons today: "I attended the opening of parliament today. It proved a great treat to me, naiturally, as I am interested In English forms and methods of legislation. One of the most striking differences between our methods and those In use here Is that the speaker Is non-partisan. The) members of parliament are certainly a fin looking body of men. To an American, however, it looked very odd to see the members of the house sitting with their bats cm. I em satisfied, from what I saw, that I prefer the methods of our congress." MURDERS TWO MEN. iNorth Yakima, August 12. Chti. Mc Gonlgle last night shot and killed his father, a rancher six miles from this eity, and fatally wwnried BJacksmith Ear, 'of Ahtanum, amd then gave himself up to the neighbors and) was brought to thus city- The trouble mroae ever the dander of EarMf daughters by young Mcftonlgle.

Forces "Will Take Possession l i Force. , Omaha, Neb., August 12. It now; looks as If a coafllot is inevitable between the Omaha police force and the A. P. A. fac tion, which claims' authority under the recent law to appoint a new force.

The officers think they have a good clue to the par ties who robbed the stage a week ago, Many believe these , stage robbers are trying to get any money that R. A.
