The singularly distressing illness among the guests at the wedding of John Taplaw and Anna Gage is still occupying the attention of the medical . frateritny of this and other cities, but so far no physician ' has been able to correctly diagnose the disease. Three deathB have occurred and eighty persons are confined to their . beds, and several of these are not ex peoted to live. ; The peculiarity of the disease is causing great apprehension, and is at tributed to the failure of physicians to suooessfully combat it. It is similar to common forms of poisoning and its ,imperyiousness to all antidotes and usual remedies is a puzzler. Some of the victims show every symptom of trichinosis, though the ordinary treat ment fails to eradicate the disease, or allay the fever with Whioh it is ac companied. They appear to be affliot ed with ptomaine and the antidotes ad ministered in case of mineral poisoning have not the slightest tendency to check the illness. The fact that most of the, victims were not stricken until three weeks after partaking of the wed ding' feast, furnishes' another surprise to the physioiahs.' '.' 1 ' There are twenty-five cases in Sa bula., In the surrounding - country of Jackson county there are fifty or sixty ' more patients. The symptoms are alike in every case. Jackson county is ter ror stricken. Those who. are slightly ill are apprehensive of . more results and consequently no medical assistance re lieves them', Those wb.o are not ill, but ' who were at . the wedding, are fearful that the disease may soon as sert itself on them. The outside phy sicians called in are in the " dark as much as. the local doctors. It transpires that . after the meats whioh were served at the feast had been cooked the wedding was post poned for four days. Irj that interval the weather was very warm and the meats became tainted. . . WASHINGTON'S' SCHOOL FUND. ri'V "'"'. What Is Included Thereunder by the State Lav, ' Olympia, ' Oct. ' Q.A.' W. Haster, proseouting attorney for King county, having inquired of the attorney -general as to what funds the rule of apportion ment prescribed in chapter 68, session laws, of 1895, rovidin for a state school fund, applied, has been given the following answer by Assistant Attorney-General Haight: "The phrase 'all state annual school funds,' as used in this law, plainly means the proceeds of the state tax and of the income of the permanent school f unds annually collected and applicable to the expenses of the common schools. That this view is correct, is indicated by ihe . requirement that the income from the permanent sohool fund shall be deducted from a sum equal to $6 for eaoh child of school age, in' order to determine the amount of the state school tax. As to the other school funds cominglnto the county treasury,' the rule laid down in seotion 8, chap ter 127, laws of 1891,- relating to the duties of county superintendents re main in foroe, this section not having been repealed either expressly or by implication." , . Beer Fight In Germany. Munster, "Westphalia, Oot. 10. There has been a growing agitation here forborne tirne past against the or der issued to close the beer gardens and other similar places for obtaining re freshments at a much earlier hour than customary. The result is that a num ber of serious conflicts have taken place between the police and the inhabitants in the streets of this city. Matters j-eached ;a crisis yesterday evening, when the gendarmes and police charg ed a mob of townspeople, with drawn swords, wounding many of the latter. There is very bitter feeling against the authorities, and it is feared there -will be more trouble before long. WHAT MORA WILL GET Dividing Up the Money Which Was Paid by Spain. FAT FEES OF HIS ATTORNEYS Decision of the Commissioner of the General land Office In the Mar- ( quam Case Affirmed. Washington, Oot. 10. It is expected that the state department, which is custodian of the funds paid by Spain on the, Mora claim, will pay the money to the different parties in interest Thursday. The amount finally agreed on for Antonio Maximo Mora, ' princi pal in. the claim, is $807,085. This sum has been reduced somewhat by as signments, and the actual amount to be paid Mr. Mora will be slightly above 1700,000. The next payment of importance will be $287,000 to Jose I. Boderiguez, who has been the attorney of Mr. Mora since the inception of the case in 1870. A further amount, approximately $285,000, will be devoted to the ' pay ment of Mr. Nathaniel Page, who was at one time attorney in the case, or to those to whom he may have assigned his interest. In the original agreement between Mora and his attorneys, he was to re tain 60 per oent and they were to have 40 per cent, the latter sum to cover all legal expenses. Mrs. Waller, wife of ex-United States Consul-General Waller, now im prisoned by the Frenoh government, will arrive in New York Saturday, and steps are being made to have her met by representatives of the state depart ment Her son, Paul Bray, will also go to meet her. She is aeoompanied by her young children, the family having made the long journey from Madagas car by way of Paris. Relief funds for her have been raised in Kansas, Iowa and Washington, and will be available for her support after landing. Thus far she has been helped homeward by private contributions, the state depart ment aiding her from ' Madagascar to France, and , Ambassador Eustis ad vancing her funds for her trip to New York. Ethelbert Woodford, a young American in Madagascar, supplied her immediate needs until assistance was rendered by the state department. It is expected she will settle in Iowa. Secretary Smith has affirmed the de cision of the commissioner of the gen eral land office awarding to P. A. Mar quam land in the Oregon City distriot whioh he has purchased from the state as swamp land. Peter Snomela enter ed the land as a homestead, and his entry is denied, on the ground that the land was a swamp at the time of the grant. In the case of Almon V. Brown against George W. Hinkle, for a tract of land in the La Grande distriot, the secretary decides in favor of Hinkle. In the case of Henry E. , Wilcox, B. D. Mullens, H. J. Hunt and John W. Manning, grantees of the state of Ore gon, against the Oregon Central Wagon-Road Company, Lakeview distriot, the secretary decides in favor of . the company. : Assistant Seoretary Hamlin has writ ten a letter in whioh he states that the attorney-general has rendered an opin ion whioh hereafter will govern the de partment's action, holding that white lead manufacftured from pig-lead pro duced in bonded smelting and refining establishments from a mixture of do mestic and imported ores, is not en titled to the drawback under the pro visions of section 22 of the new tariff act. This decision,' it is said, is based upon the faot that the amount of im ported ores entering .into the white lead product cannot be ascertained by a chemical analysis nor will the manu facturers be permitted to show by other evidenoe the proportions of domestic and imported ores used. A Preacher Censures Dunraven. New York, . Oct. y 10. Rev. C. F. Aked, of Liverpool, ' who has arrived here for the purpose of delivering ser mons and leoturing at various points throughout the country, said, in speak ing of the international yacht raoe: - "The mass of thinking people in England censure Lord Dunraven for his conduct over here as a sportsman.' He was undoubtedly beaten in the first race and would have been in the seo ond had it lasted a short while longer. The general feeling is that he acted childishly in throwing the third race beoause he was piqued. As & true sportsman he should have accepted the decision of the regetta committee with out a murmur. " Japanese Victory in Formosa. Shanghai, Oct. 10. A special from Tokio announces that the Japanese foroe on the island of' Formosa has routed the main body, consisting of 10,000 men, of the Black Flags. The engagement took place near the river Tao Linma. The dispatch adds the Black Flags' leader, General Liu Yung Fnoh, is surrounded on three sides by Japanese troops, and the capture of all his warriors is assured. ' THE HESPER MUTINY. The President Itefugeg to Interfere in the Case of St. Clair and Hesper. Washington, Oct 10. The president has refused to interfere in the case of Thomas St. Clair, oonvioted in Califor nia of murder on the high seas, and or iginally sentenced to be hanged Sep tember 21, 1894. He has been respited four times, the last carrying the date of execution to the 18th inst In his indorsement, President Cleveland says: "Upon an examination of the merits of the application on behalf of this oon vict for exeoutive clemency, I am fully satisfied that he, and those indicted with him, are guilty of deliberate mur der, and I cannot find any factor or cir oumstance connected with the ' case which justifies a mitigation of the sen tence which the court has pronounced." The president has also denied the ap plication for a pardon . in the case of Hans Hanson, an accomplce of St. Clair, and also convicted in California of murder on the high seas and sen tenced to be hanged Friday, October 18, 1895. ' "The appeals for clemency in the present case," the president says, "-are so earnest and have come to me from such various and influential quarters, and the considerations which would in vest the granting of clemency with sat isfaction are so exceptionally strong, that I regret the conclusion which my sense of duty has forced upon me. A thorough examination of the case has conclusively convinced me that a cold blooded and crnel murder was commit ted by this convict and two others equally guilty. . The fact that one of them has escaped final conviotion and punishment is a failure of justice which ought not in such a case as this to operate to the advantage of those de servedly convicted and sentenced. Ev ery ground upon which the creditable and humane appeals in . behalf of the oonvict are based fails when subjected to the tests of executive duty, in its re lation to just administration of the criminal law and the safety and peace of society. " ' KAIULANI IN LONDON. Her Visit Is Supposed to l ave Some Political Meaning. ' ' .. . ' London, Oct. 10. It is reported that the visit of Princess Kaiulani to Lon don has some political meaning, and that renewed efforts are being made to secure the interest of Great Britain in her cause. In addition to Mr. Cleg horn, Colonel McFarlane and several other members ,of her adherents are here, including Theophilus Davis, the princess' guardian, and Major and Mrs. Wodehouse. ' Mr. Cleghorn called at the foreign office yesterday with a letter of intro duction from the British minister at Honolulu, and he held another confer ence , there today. , The Hawaiian princess is treated with the same for mality as a reigning princess is treated. She has grown to be a tall, fine-looking girl, and has been busy since ' her arrival from the Continent sightseeing and reoeiving visits. The princess to day went to Woolwioh, and this .even ing she was a member of a supper party at the Savoy hotel, which Mr. Hoffmund, late, charge d'affaires of Hawaii, gave in her honor. Mr. Cleg horn has been in ill-health for some time past, and has been ordered to take a perfect rest. He leaves with the princess for Italy in a fortnight in or der to pass the winter in that country. ' John Jj, Hag Hlg Say. Cleveland, Oot. 10. Although con fident that the battle between Corbett and Fitzsimmons will be fought, John L. Sullivan is apprehensive of the re suit of the war Governor Culberson is making on pugilism. ' ' "All such attacks as those made by the Texas governor and ; the mayor of Cleveland," said Sullivan,' "tend to degrade the noble art of boxing in the estimation of the pocple. If that fight in Dallas is stopped pugilism , will re .oeive a blow so serious that it will never recover until - conditions are greatly - changed. ' Although the ten dency of the age is in the direction of depreciation of this art, I feel so sure of the American people that I am will ing to wager dollars to beans that the "time is not far off when the manly art will receive its just meed' of honor. Such affairs as the meeting of Corbett and Fitzsimmons tend to elevate . the art in the minds of men.- If right pre vails, pugilism will have a great fu ture before it " -' I'' i "Do you think Corbett has any ri vals for the championship now?" 1 "No one can tell anything about it," said he. "I feel confident, however, that there is a man in the heavyweight olass who will, in time, be the cham pion of the world. ' I refer to Peter Maher. I know every fiber of that boy's body and I tell you he has cham pionship blood in him. - If Corbett wins the fight, and I am inclined to think he will, Maher will be matched against him later." : ' Happy Mexico. ' City of Mexioo, Oct. 9. The banks are glutted with amounts entirely without precedent here. Money is abundant in private hands, and manu-J factoring is enjoying a boom, with mills running extra hours. Trade is improving, and all prospects point to a busy winter all over the republic ARE OPPOSED BY ALL The Fighters Can Find No Battleground. THE GOVERNMENT TAKES A HAND Commissioner Browning, of the Indian Bureau, Says They Shall Not Fight in Indian Territory. Washington, Oot. 9. Commissioner Browning, of the Indian office, has taken prompt and decisive steps to pre vent the Corbett prizefight in Indian territory. He has prepared the fol lowing letter of instructions to General M. W. Wisdom, at Muskogee: "It is stated in the press dispatches of yesterday and this morning that ar rangements are being made, or have been completed, by parties interested, to have a prizefight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons come off in the Chickasaw nation, the plan being to pay into the treasury of the Chickasaw nation the sum of $5,000, in considera tion of which the two fighters are to be adopted into the nation with a view of defeating the authority of this de partment to prevent such fighting. "It would be, in the opinion of this office, a great detriment to the peace and welfare of the Indians of Indian territory to permit a prizefight to take place within that territory, and you are, therefore, instructed to use every precaution necessary to prevent anyone from entering the Chicaksaw nation, or any other nation in Indian territory and under your charge, for the purpose of having said fight come off in that territory. You will advise the gover nors of the various nations in Indian territory that this office will not permit a prizefight to take place within your jurisdiction, and you will call upon the United States marshal, and if neces sary report to this office, and troops will be furnished you to prevent the j fight. - ; . . "Section 2149 of the revised statutes authorizes and requires me, - with the approval of the seoretary of the inter ior, to remove from the limits of any Indian reservation any person found thereon without authority of law, or whose presence there would be, in my opinion, detrimental to the peace and welfare of the Indians. "In the United States vs.' Crook, it was held that the commissioner of In dian affairs had authority under the section above cited to remove an Indian from the reservation, as well as a white man. As I have said, it will be, in my opinion, decidedly detrimen tal to the peace and welfare of the In dians to permit anyone to enter the Chickasaw reservation, whether he be a citizen of that nation or not, for the purpose of carrying on a prizefight, and the whole force of this government that can be brought to bear will be exerted to prevent the same; and you are instructed to keep this office con stantly advised in order that proper steps may be taken in time to prevent the fight in case an effort should be made to 'pull it ofl in Indian terri tory. '. ' , ..." ' ' "You will make these instructions publio so that the people interested in this fight may be advised of what the government intends to do in the prem ises if called upon to act." ., ' . Commissioner Browning was asked if the admission of Corbett, Fitzsim mons and others connected with the fight to citizenship in one of the tribes would make any difference in the au thority of. the government. He said it would not change the conditions in the least. The government has power to expel a full-blood Indian from the ter ritory if the peace and good order of the Indians require it. He added: . "The government would be able to exercise a great deal of discretion in the affair. . The United States mar shals or the Indian agent and his po lice, backed up by the United States troops can remove the fighters as in truders and keep them out and tlien answer as to violation of the law after ward. It is not a case where, the .fight may take place and the fighters then be called upon as to whether they have violated the law. The government will not even wait for the affair to progress that far. The principals and others oonneoted with the fight will be unceremoniously hustled off the Indian lands on the ground that they are in truders whose presence is undesirable. If they make any complaints about it the courts will have to determine the rights of the matter and it is believed the probabilities are that the power of the United' States government will be broadly interpreted." . A Pittsburg Official's Shortage. Pittsbug, Oct. 9. The committee of the council which is investigating the city attorney's office received item ized statements from two banks today, which show that Assistant City Attor ney W. H. House has reoeived, in the past ten years, on city deposits, in terest to' the amount of $29,319, of which no apparent record is made. There is one more bank to hear from, which will probably run the amount up to $50,000. Mr.' House as yet will say nothing in his defense. IN CHINESE WATERS. Navy Departmsnt Preparing for Any Possible Emergency. Washington, Oct 8. Among the naval movements reported to the navy department today were the arrival of the Monooacy at Shanghai, and the de parture of the Machias from Han Kpw for Shanghai and the treaty ports. While no reason is assigned by the commanding officers of these vessels for the movements, it is assumed to be a desire of the admiral commanding the station to have them in Southern Chi na, where they may be readily avail able in the event of trouble, such as has been experienced during the past summer in the looting and burning of missionary property. Both the Machi as and the Monocacy are of light draught and adapted for navigating the Chinese waters. ' In accordance with section 2 of the act , of congress approved March 3, 1891, and as amended in ' the aot ap proved March 2, 1895, Seoretary Morton has issued the following: "It is ordered that all beef for ex portation,, whether fresh, salted, oan. ned, corned or packed, shall be acconi' panied by a certificate of an inspector of this department, showing that the cattle from which it was produced were free from disease and that the meat was sound and wholesome, and, in order that it might be determined whether all beef exported has been so inspected and found free from disease and wholesome, it is further ordered that the meat of all other speoies of animals, which is packed in barrels, casos or other packings, shall be legi bly marked in such manner as to clear ly indicate the species of animal from which the meat was produced. Meat which is not so marked, and whioh is not aeoompanied by a certifi cate of inspection, will be subjected to unpacking and examination in order to ascertain if it is uninspected beef. Notice is hereby given to exporters of beef, whether said beef is fresh, salted, canned, corned, packed or other wise prepared, and .to owners and agents of vessels upon which said beef is exported, that no clearance can be given to any vessel having on board said beef until the provisions of this order are complied with. "As reliable evidence has been sub mitted, showing that a large quantity of uninspected beef has been prepared for export, the identity of whioh has been lost in the process of . curing, it is directed that this order shall not be en forced until January 1, 1896. All or ders and regulations of this depart ment inconsistent with this order are hereby revoked. " Yang Yu, the minister from China to the United States, accompanied by four members of the legation, left here this morning for New York. Yang Yu is also the accredited representative of his country to the Spanish govern ment, but he has not yet visited there in his diplomatic capacity. . The party will remain in New York until the 12 th, when they embark on board a French line Steamer for Havre, and from there they will go to Spain. While in New York they will be the guests of the Chinese consul. During the minister's absenoe, Mr. Hoo will be in charge of the legation in this city. The minister expects to be ab sent two months. ' JERSEY LILY'S DIVORCE. It Will Be Soon Begun and a Marriage May Soon Follow. . New York, Oct. 9. It has been fre quently said of late that Mrs. Langty's object in suing for a divoroe was to enable her to contract a marriage with Sir Robert Peel, whose attentions to her were not only the talk of the Mon aco, where it is said the couple first met, but also of half of Europe. Mrs. Langtry and Sir Robert also spent some portion of the summer together at Baden. The "Jersey Lily" is at pres ent in London. In referenoe to the rumor that Mrs. Langtry was to marry Sir Robert Peel, her counsel, A. H. Hummell, said: "I have no knowledge that Mrs. Langtry intends any suoh thing, but it would not surprise me in the least if after her present marriage bonds are shattered she should soon marry again, and, possibly, a scion of the British no bility. Under the laws of California, Mrs. Langtry is entitled to a divoroe on the grounds of nonsupport She has been a resident and citizen of that state for seven years, and owns a ranch in Calistoga, Lake county. The ' sum mons and complaint in her action are in the hands of our London corre spondents for service upon the defend ant,; but until the issue is joined no steps can be taken in court The Floods in Havana. Havana, Oct 9. The government has also opened a credit with the sum of $5,000 for the relief of sufferers in the inundated districts of Abajo. A popular subscription for the same pur- j pose was also opened. Captain-Gen-eral de Campos headed the list with ' $1,000, and his brother-in-law, General ' Aderius, the commander of the forces here, gave $250. The Marquis of Pilar del Rio subscribed $5,000. In all, the sum of $20,000 has been for warded. The bodies of ten victims of the flood have been recovered. ' THE ARMENIAN RIOTS English Ambassador Asks That Arrests Cease. THE POWERS' COLLECTIVE NOTE In Iteply the Turkish Grand Vizer li- pressed His Anxiety to Have the Situation Improved. Constantionple, Oct. 8. Saturday Sir Philiph Currie, the British ambas sador, had an interview with Kiamel Pasha, the grand vizer, in which he made a strong representation and forc ibly urged upon him to cease making arrests of Armenians. Kiamel Pasha, in reply, expressed his anxiety to im prove the situation. It is expected that he will advise the sultan to grant amnesty to all Armenians who have been arrested in connection with the riots since Monday. The ambassadors of the powers held a conference today and. drew up a col lective note, which will be presented to the porte tomorrow. Afterward they went to the porte personally and made verbal representations on the sub ject of Armenia. . The foreign men-of-war whioh are acting as guardians have been ordered to moor in the harbor for the winter, in order to protect foreigners in case of -need. Sir Philip Currie has asked leave of the government to visit the Armenians now in prison, in order to draw up a : report Up to Friday eighty bodies had been registered as victims of the disorder, all of whom had been terribly wounded. Some of them contained over twenty gashes, besides bullet wounds, and others had been battered with bludgeons so as to be unrecogniz able. All . accounts concur that the number of victims thrown into the sea was only three. The gendarmes killed a few of the wounded.

THE INTERNATIONAL GAMES. Comment of the English Papers Upon . the Defeat of Cambridge. London, Oct. 8. The papers this nrorning commenting upon the Yale Cambrudge contest at New York, say: The Graphic: America has taken" the conceit out of us in a way unequal- ed since Australia beat England at the oval in 1892, and it may perhaps be a long time before we recover from the shock.- As a first step toward accept ing defeat gracefully, we might per haps cease to talk so much about the differences of climate as a contributary cause to our defeat When the Yale men came over here and were beaten by Oxford, they had to compete under conditions of cold and . damp, quite as - foreign to their experience as the heat of New York has been t the English men. We do not urge the disadvan tages of which Yale had suffered in diminution of their triumph, and it is not quite game to enlarge upon similar causes in mitigation of our defeat" The Standard: "The victory was most decisive, in view of the fact that , . except for . Fitz-Herbert, , the Cantabs performed as well as they have gener ally done at home. One is driven to -the conclusion that Oxford was some what lucky to beat Yale, or deoidedly unlucky in subsequently losing to Cam- bridge. It is impossible to shut our eyes to the fact that at this time America is particularly rich in capable athletes of all kinds. " '..''. The Sportsman: "The result is not ; so utterly disastrous as the London Athletic Club's defeat, but it does not leave us much to boast of. It is quite evident that the Cantabs have not done - well at their training owing to the ' heat" ; MILLIONS WERE AT STAKE. Thomson-Houston Defeated in Its Suit Against Western Electric. - - Chicago, Oct. 9. The United States cirouit court of appeals today handed down, among others, an opinion upon which depended, it is estimated, not less than $25,000,000, and a praotical monopoly of the electric-lighting busi ness for four years. The Thomson Houston Electric Company was the un successful party in the suit. The ao-. tion involved the device known as the automatio regulator, which as to eleo trio lighting performs a function simi lar to that of a governor on the stqam engine. . The suit was begun against , the Western Electrio Company, .of this city, praying for an injunction to re strain defendant company from using the regulator and asking an account ing. The suit came to trial before Judge Grosscup in June, 1S94. The court upheld , the Western, Electrio Company that the contraot, which it was claimed was being infringed, was void, becarase the seoond issue of the patent covered the devioe. . An appeal was taken to the United States circuit ' court of appeals, which today affirmed Grosscup's ruling and ordered a, dis missal qt the oase. This is final.
