BURNED AT THE STAKE. A Terrible Vengeance of an Alabama Mob ^lidiigliig too Ml hi. Powers in Accord as Regards Chinese Trouble. FALL IN LINE WITH AMERICA fcven Germany Shows Signs of Prepur- Ing to Join the Common M o veinent —Karly Settlement Looked For. Washington, Oct. 4. — Favorable news has reached Washington from the European chancellories, indicating that a complete agreement as to China is within sight. The agreement will be on the basis of the propositions laid down by Secretary Hay in his note of July 3, and the subsequent notes treat ing on the subject. The accord of Rus sia with the United States is more complete than was anticipated at first, and the repoits show that all of the European nations probably are placing themselves in position to take advan tage of the opening made by the Unit ed States, and soon will be ready to be gin negotiations for a settlement with the Chinese government. The Hus sains already have given notice of such purpose, and while the text of the French note on this subject, referred to in today’s press dispatches, has not reached the state department, the offi cials are satisfied that it is correctly reported and that France, like Russia, is ready to negotiate at once. As for Germany, either the position of that government has been misunder stood or it has sustained a change of mind. Possibly the former is the case, but, however that may be. it is quite certain from the advices which have reached Washington that the German government, upon careful inspection of the plans tor a settlement projected by the United States, finds therein noth ing inconsistent with the German as pirations, Therefore, it may be ex pected that Germany, too, will be pre- pared soon to join in this common movement toward a settlement. It may be stated that altogether the pros pects of an adjustment of the Chinese difficulties without resort to formal war are very much brighter than they were one week ago. BLAMES THE FOREIGNERS. Dr. Clark on the L oirb « and Gains From the Uprising in China. Boston. Oct. 4.—At the Congrega tional ministers’ meeting this morning the principal speaker was Dr. Francis A. Clark, president of the United Christian Endeavor, whose subject was, “Losses and Gains From the Up rising in China.” Dr. Clark, who has visited several mission stations in North China where the massacres late ly occurred, says in part: “The dragon’s teeth of war and mas sacre were sown by the foreigners who tiad come in the spirit of commercial greed to push their conquests. Turn the tables for a moment and imagine China forcing her goods upon us at the point of the sword, sending her opium here to debauch our youth and com pelling us to buy it, seizing the whole state of Massachusetts because of two Chinamen murdered by a mob, and we can imagine some of the feelings which animated the Boxers or the more intelligent powers behind the Boxers. A heroic chapter of mission ary annals has been written, a chapter whose records can never be dimmed. The native conveit has proved himself worthy of the Savior who died for him. The taunt of rich Christians can no longer be thrown in his face. China has been awakened from her sleep of ages. She can never again fall back into the same comatose condition as be fore. A trumpet call has been issued to the Christians of America ami Great Britain to go in and jmssess the land, to see to it that their comrades have not died in vain.” Receiver Will Be Arrested. San Francisco, Oct. 4.—Deputy United States Marshals Shelly Monck- ton and George H. Burnham, left to night for Seattle, from which port they will embark for Cape Nome on the steamer Senator next Thursday. They are charged with the mission of arrest ing Alex McKenzie, the receiver in a number of Nome mining suits, and to bring him before the United States clr- cut court of appeals to answer for con tempt in having refused to obey the writ of supersedeas issued by Judge Morrow some weeks ago. They are further instructed to call upon the United States military authorities to enforce the return of the various min ing claims to the people who held them prior to litigation. Spanish Minister an Kmbezxler. New York, Oct. 4.—A dispatch to the Herald from Valparaiso says: It is estimated that the amount of money alleged to have been embezzled by the ex-Spanish minister, Salvador Lopez y Guijarro, is more than 1100,000. The money belonged to Spanish subjects, who are very indignant. Loez received the funds from the Chilean government to pay demands sustained by Spaniards during the revolution of 1891. He having presented hie papers of retire ment, the minister disappeared, with out paying a cent to the claimants. Wetumpka, Ala., Oct. 4. — Winfield Townsend, alias Floyd, a negro, was burned at the stake in the little town of Electric, 15 miles from this place, a half hour after midnight this morn- ing. The negro's crime was an at- tempted assault on Mrs. Lonnie Har rington, whose husband set tire to the fuel which reduced Townsend’s body to ashes. Yesterday afternoon, at 1 o’clock, the negro, who was a nephew of the negro Floyd, hanged a week ago for an attempted asault, attempted to assault Mrs. Harrington. Mr. Harrington was at a cotton gin in Electric. Iiis home is one mile out of town. The negrj came to the house and told Mrs. Harrington that her husband had sent him to get 20 cents from her. She told him she had no change. Then the negro left, but returned in about it) minutes. The woman's screams were heard by Bob Nicholls, a negro, who was passing along the road at the time. He ran to the house in time to see the negro escape. As soon as Mrs. Harrington was n stored to consciousness, Nichols gav» the alarm. The news spread rapidly. All the stores in Electric were instant ly closed, the ginneries and sawmills shut down; the people left their wag ons in the road and their plows in the fields and gathered for a pursuit of the negro. The negro was soon found on the north outskirts of Electric. Theie he was confronted by his victim, who identified him. About 11 o’clock a cowd of several hundred was in the little village. The negro was taken to the edge of the vil lage and preparations for his death were quickly made. A rope was flung over the limb of a big oak and 100 men stood ready to swing him up. Then a halt was called, and the man ner of death was discussed by the mob. A vote was taken, and the balloting showed a majority of the crowd favored death at the stake. The stake was prepared, aud the negro was bound to it with chains. Fine knots were piled about him, aud the flames were started by the husband of his victim. As they leaped to the negro’s flesli he uttered wild cries to viod for mercy and help. The crowd looked on deaf to his cries, and in an hour the negro was reduced to asheB. TowDsend, before being bound, con- fessed the crime, and said lie was also implicated with Alexander Floyd, who was hanged two weeks ago, for an at tempted assault on Miss Kate Pearson. He said he and Floyd had planned other crimes of like character. BRUTAL IDAHO MURDER. Man Bent to Death With an Iron Bar- No Clew to Assailant. Wallace, Idaho, Oct. 4.—Matt Mailey was found murdered in his store this morning. Just before 9 o’clock this morning a passer-by saw his body lying near the rear end of his cigar store, and notified the officers. Both doors were locked, and blood on the floor caused the belief that he had suicided. When the door was forced, he was found to have his throat cut and his skull crushed in three long streaks. An iron bar 18 inches long by one and one-half inches wide and tliree-eighths of an inch thick lay be side his body, covered with blood, and fit nicely in the cut places in his head. A towel had been tied around his bead, evidently for a gag. An examination of the premises showed the safe locked, the money in the drawer undisturbed, each denomination being in separate compartments, and a watch was on the corpse. The body was vet warm but death had occurred some time before, either of four wounds being sufficient to produce it. Nothing was missing except the key to the door, the mur derer evidently taking it with him and locking the door. One witness saw the deceased enter the store with a tall, slim man about 6 o'clock, but only had a back view and did not recognize the other man. Mailey had lived in the Coeur d’Alenes about 15 yeais, and had no known enemies. STEAMERS WITH TREASURE, Amount Over 8300,000—Steamer Cut» but Slightly Danmgi’fl, Seattle, Wash., Oct. 4.—The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s steamship City of Topeka arrived from Lvnn canal points. She brought al>out 150 passengers and $200,000 in gold, most ly in small amounts in the hands of pasengers. The Topeka’s officers re port that the steamer Cutch, which was on the rocks this side of Skag way, appears to be but slightly dam aged. A wrecking company is at work endeavoring to float her. The steamship Senator arrived from Cape Nome and St. Michael this morn ing, bringing about 100 passengers and $183,000 in treasure. She left Nome September 21. Among her passegners is John Noyes, the Butte, Mont., mil lionaire and mining operator, who is accompanied by hie wife and sou. N. P. R. Hatch, of San Francisco, was also a passenger on the vessel. He is one of the attorneys for the defend ants in the receivership case at Nome, in which Londbloom. Lindberg aud others are interested, and is said to be on the way to san Francisco to secure a supplementary order from the federal district court there. FURTHER CONCESSION. Still the Miner« Refuse t« Work. Secret Society Said to Have Broken Loose There. FOLLOWING BOXER TACTICS London, Oct. 6.—The London morn ing papers are virtually engrossed by the parliamentary general elections, and they have little to say about the new Geiman note. The Daily News, which describes it as “clear, stiaight- forward and manly,” expresses a hope that all the European powers and also the United States will agree with Em peror William’s last pioposal. British correspondents in China com plain of the “weak attitude” displayed by Great Britaiu aud the Unted States, as well as the other powers, in with drawing from Pekin aud displaying generally a yielding mood. A dispatch from Tien Tsin, October 2, says: “Gaselee claims that the British from the gunboat Pygmy were the first to receive the surrender of the Shan llai Kwan forts.” The Morning Post's correspondent at faku asserts that the persecution of Christians has been revived in the province of Shan Tung. Shanghai dispatches announce the dismissal of two Tartar generals, who have been defeated ny Russians in Manchuria. The head office of the Chinese commissariat has been re moved from Ching Kiang, on the Yang strait, to Taku, aud the viceroys have been ordered to establish branch offices in the provinces of Shen Si. A dispatch to the Daily Express from Hong Kong reports a serious rising of Triads in Canton, and the whole country to the south is said to be in a ferment. The Hong Kong correspond ent of the Times, wiring Wednesday, says: “A thousand braves have left Canton to suppress a rebellion instigated by Triads at Waichau, in the Sauen dis trict. There is grave unrest in the two Kwang provinces, and precautions have been taken at Kowloo.” Philadelphia, Oct. 5.—There were no developments of special ini|>ortance today in the miners’ strike. An in teresting feature was the Reading Com pany’s notice to its employes that in addition to its offer of a 10 pe> cent in crease, it was willing to euter into arbitration with them relative to any grievances they may have. None of the strikers, however, has yetindicated an intention to return to work. Af fairs were extremely quiet today throughout the anthracite legion. General Gobin in command of the state troops recently sent to Schuylkill county on request from the sheriff, to day directed another of the regiments to return home tomorrow. One regi ment left Monday. There remains but one regiment, a battery of artillery aud a company of mounted troops. A secret conference of the leading officials of the miners’ organization was held at Hazleton. At its conclusion, President Mitchell said the question of calling a joint convention had not been considered. He added that out of 142,000 mineworkers, only about 5,000 are at work, and these, he said, would be out in a short time. The time limit of the Lackawanna Company’s offer of increased wages will expire tomorrow, but strikers generally express their determination to pay no heed to the offer. BATTLE IN ASHANTEE. Hard Fighting Between British Force« and Native«. Basin«,« Tried to Engage a Russian Cruiser. SUT THE LATTER GOT AWAY Allled Squatiron« Will Force the War« «liip« to Capitulate. <*r Will Deatroy '1 hem- Kilivta Heilig laaued. London, Oct. 8.—It is reported in St. Petersburg, according tn the corre spondent of the Times at the Russian capital, that the Chinese fleet in For mosa strait attempted to engage the Russian cruiser Rurik, but the latter's speed frustrated the plan. The corre spondent says the allied squadron will force the fleet to capitulate or will de stroy it. « Shanghai telegrams announce that the imperial edict, dated September 30, ordering the court to be removed to Siuan Fu, was issued owing to the famine at Tai Yuan Fu, capital of the province of Shun Si. They also ex press the opinion that the object of the recent edict regarding the degradation of the Chinese personages of high rank is merely to gain time to enable China to be in a better position to defy the powers, as the new capital will be vir tually inaccessible to foreigners. The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post, discussing this aspect of the case, remarks: • “The German troops have no means of transport, and any attempt to fol low the Chinese court would be, there fore, quite futile.” lie says the Chinese firmly believe in the existence of a Russo-German agree ment, under which Russia will take all the territory north of the great wall and Germany the provinces of Chi D and Shan Tung. The Times’ representative at Shang hai says: “It is believed here that highly in flammatory edicts are being issued secretly, and that the recent public edicts are only intended to hoodwink the powers.” London, Oct. 5.—A dispatch to the Morning Post from Kumassie reports that heavy fighting took place last Sun day between Colonel Willeoek’s column and the Ashantees, at Abu Ashu. “After heavy fighting,” says the dis patch, “the British column made an ineffectual attempt to charge the Ashantee positions, but was obliged to retire and to resume the rille duel while awaiting reinforcements. Event ually, after hard work, Colonel Will cocks captured the positions and occu pied the village of Isnashu without more opposition. Recently the British carried three other villages at the point of the bayonet and burned them. Seventy Ashnntees were killed. The British losses were Major Meliss and MILLIONS FOR LEVEES.

TRADE. a er«««* Bradstreet's says: Despite Home ir- regularity both as to demand and prices, due partly to warm rainy weather, but likewise a reflection of a hesitancy to embark largely in new business, pending political events, the general tone of trade is a favorable one, and confidence as to the outlook for business in the remainder of the year is notable. Some diminution in the volume of jobbing business is noted at large Western centers, aud continued rainy weather in the Northwest alike checked the movement of wheat to mar ket, injures the grade of the same, and discourages retail and jobbing distri bution. Ten cent cotton is the key to the very favorable report which cornea from the South and the character of re ports from this section is more nearly favorable than for many years past at this time. The indis|>osition to contract heavily as to the future is perhaps most marked in the iron and steel trade and here, also, the most marked tendency toward weakness in thi cruder forms of pro duction is noted. The industrial outlook has been im proved by the signing of the tinplate scale, but the anthracite coal situation is, on the surface at least, rather more unfavorable than a week ago. more mines and miners being idle and pro duction steadily diminishing. Special strength is noted in provis ions and hog products, in which the very strong statistical position is re ceiving more attention. Wheat, including flour, shipment« for the week, aggregate 4,459,167 bush els, against 4,242,810 bushels last week.
