Activity is Becoming More Pronounced in the Wool Markets. Employes of Manila Companies Under Arrest. THE EVIDENCE IS STRONG AGAINST THEM [ Belgian Consnl, Who Wai Alio Suspected, Hasti ly Left fsr Europe —Rebel Garrison Captured on Cavite Coast Manila, Feb. 21.—Captain Jones, of the Eighth infantry, has been arrested at a town on the bay province of La guna, Florenta Ortuna and Migul Ponce de Leon, agents of the Tabaca- leira Company, and William Webb, Pedro Lorenzi anil Victoria Sceuta, employed by the Philippine Trading Company, on charges similar to those brought against D. M. Carman, the American contractor, namely, furnish ing the insurgents jvith supplies. The Tabacaleria Company, the richest cor poration in the Philippines, is accused of aiding the insurgents often and actively. The men arrested are promi nent and the evidence against them is very strong. M. Brixholterman, a Belgian, con nected with the Philippine Trading Company, has been arrested at Ma nila, and M. Edward Andre, the Bel gian consul here, and manager of the Philippine Trading Company, hastily left Manila with his family, on his way to Europe on the steamer, Monte- vidio. Andre had previously been sus pected. Other arrests are expected. Colonel Schuyler, with 100 men of the Forty-sixth regiment on the gun boat Bosco, lauded on the Cavite coast, near Ternate, and, proceeding inland, -captured a small rebel garrison. Con tinuing his march along a mountain trail, Colonel Schuyler was attacked by rebels of Trias' command. After a sharp fight the enemy were beaten and scattered. One American was killed and one was wounded. The United States transport Rose- crane has returned here from Guam, after landing there the Filipino prison ers who have been deported to that place. The prisoners were landed January 12. They occupy an excellent prison site, four miles from Agaua. The prison is called the Presidio. It is situated on an ascent, and strict dis cipline is maintained. The officials of the branch of the Hong Kong bank here, have announced that Ross, the Englishman in their employ, who wrote a letter published in an Australian paper, criticising the Philippine commission, American offi cers and American policy in general, has been ordered to proceed to Hong Kong. The British communitv here is well pleased that the man has been sent away. General MacArthur’s reception at Malacan exceeds anything in the Span ish regime. The palace was beautiful ly decorated and brilliantly illumi nated. Thousands of persons attended from army, navy, official, consular, clerical, business and social circles, American and foreign. The Filipino population was well represented. General Barry was master of ceremon ies. General MacArthur and the ladies of the United Stites commission re ceived the guests. Dancing followed the reception. The Filipinos were -especially pleased at being accorded a privilege never before afforded them, and General MacArthur’s tact and courtesy were greatly appreciated. IN A , Topeka, Kan., Feb. 22. — The vigil ance of the officers was all that saved “Slick” Slater from lynching by an infuriated mob tonight. He will yet be lynched if he can be found. Slater assaulter) 17-y ear-old Lottie Gerberick Monday evening, and was captured by the Topeka officers the next day at Carlrondale. This afternoon it became known that he was here, and immedi ately the Santa Fe shopmen, of whom the assaulted girl's father, George Ger berick is one, decided that he should be lynched. Thev at once sent a commit tee to watch the jail while they quiet ly arranged the details of the expected lynching. By 6 o’clock there was an angry mob of 1,000 around the jail, demanding that the prisoner be delivered.to them. A brigade of sturdy boilermakers, armed with heavy sledge hammers, stood ready to make short work of the jail in case the demands were not granted. Sheriff Cook toW the crowd that the prisoner had been removed ind offered t) let a committee search the jail. Ten men, headed Dy George Gerberick, made a thorough search, but Slater could not be found. They re turned and told the mob, but that did not satisfy them, and twice they started to break in the jail doors. Early in the afternoon, the sheriff, in anticipation of trouble, ordered a deputy to get Slater out of town. He was ordered not to leave him in Jack- son county nor to take him to Leaven worth. The deputy drove to Hoyt with Slater and entered a north bound Rock Island train. It is thought that Slater is now in jail in Atchison. The Santa Fe shopmen are calmly , determined to lynch Slater when he is brought back here tor trial. They have appointed a large vigilance committee to be con stantly on the outlook, and vow that Slater will never leave Topeka alive. The shopmen have past records in cases of this kind. They lynched John Oli phant 12 years ago for a like offense. A FURIOUS BLIZZARD. An Unusual Storm Raging in Northwestern Pennsylvania. Corry, Pa., Feb. 22. — In the history of this region no storm ever reached the fury of today's blizzard. With half a dozen feet of snow on country roads and outlying districts, and Hatch st eet buried under 12 feet of snow, | Corry caught about the worst part of the storm. The Western New York and Penn sylvania railroad accommodation train, due here this evening, was stall ed in a drift higher than the engine stack, while rushing down a huge grade south of this city. It was dug out with difficulty and again started on its precarious journey toward Buffalo. It probably will not get through tonight. This road is operating its trains with three engines, and has three plows at work on 90 miles of track. The worst drifts are at Summerdale, where they reach a height of 20 feet in spots. Gn the Philadelphia <fe Erie, a enow plow jumped the track at Jackson’s, while endeavoring to force its way through a big drift. Traffic was delayed sever al hours. For the first time in many years this road has been compelled to use snow plows. The Eire is also compelled to operate hastily impro vised snow plows, something unheard of on the main line west of Salamanca. The Lake Shore & Nickel Plate are running their trains, but many hours behind time. VENEZUELA-PRISON. LYNCHING Asbury Pirk, N. J., Man in Jail Incommunicado for a Term of Five Months. New York, Feb. 21.—H. C. Bullis, of Ashbury Park, N. J., after having endured imprisonment for more than five months in Maracaibo, Venezuela, has returned home to press a claim for $50,000 damages through the United States government against the South American republic. Mr. Bullis was appointed mechani cal and electrical engineer of the Mara caibo Electric Light Company two years ago. In a political uprising he was compelled to climb a telegraph pole and seek protection under an American flag, which he tied to the pole. The police last Anugst found a quan tity of ammunition in the electric plant with which Mr. Bullis was connected, end he was arrested, charged, as be supposed, with being in league with the revolutionists. He declared his inno cence, but repeated appeals to the American consul were unheeded. The authorities, believing he had no friends, caused his removal to a military prison, where he was kept five months incom municado. Mr. Bullis smuggled a let ter to the American minister and in 24 hours afterwards the Venezuelanu gov ernment complied with a peremptory demand for his release. Contract for Yukon Boat Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 21.—James Reese & Sons have just taken a con tract to build for the Canadian Devel opment Company a $100,000 tow and passenger craft to ply on the Yukon river. The purchasing company is a Chicago interest, of which W. H. Ison is one of the chief executives. IN ARKANSAS. Ntgro Fiend Hanged by a Furious Mob—Had a Bad Reputation. St. Louis, Feb. 22.—A special from Mena, Ark., says: A mob of eight determined men took Peter Berryman, a desperate negro, out of the city jail at 1 o'clock this morning and hanged him to a tree. The crime of which Berryman was accused was an assault on a 12-year-old girl, whose condition is critical. The masked men met Night Office« Jones and compelled him at the point of guns to band over the keys and his revolver. Two of them were left to guard Jones, while the others went to the jail and secured the negro. About 2 o’clock they re turned to where the officer was being guarded, and gave him his keys and gun. Then the men quietly disap peared without a word. About two months ago this negro at tacked an engineer with an ax, nearly killing him, and he has been guilty of numerous other offenses. Prompt ac tion was taken by the authorities, but no clew has been found as to who are the members of the mob. New Minister From Colombia. Washington, Feb. 22.—Dr. Carlos Martinez Silvella, the Colombian min ister of foreign affaire, appeared at the state department today to arrange for the presentation of his credentials as minister of Colombia to Washington. The new minister comes here princi pally to advance the interests of Colom bia in connection with the Panama canal, as opposed to the Nicaragua route, and the length of his stay will depend on the outcome of the canal legislation. GirTi Battle With a Negro. Rumor of a Chinese Loan. Kannas, City, Feb. 21.—While kMet ing at her father’s grave at Elmwood cemetery today, Dora Dezell, 19 years old, was assaulted by a negro. She fought her assailant desperately, the two struggling for nearly half an hour. The negro was finally frightened away by the approach of a white man. When the man reached Mies Dexell she was in a dead faint. Tonight she is in a serious condition. The negro New York, Feb. 22.—There has been some talk in Wall street of an attempt of the Chinese government to float a loan in this country of $200,000,000, to meet the ex penses of the Boxer up rising, and to pay indemnities, etc. It is said that Minister Wu has ap proached a number of tankers, and has suggested that it would be possible for the government to guarantee the loan by an increase of the customs above the point upon which England has a lien. •scaped. Discovered in the Books of the Oregon Land Office. IT COVERS THE YEARS 1894 AND 1895 Total Collections in That Period Were $99.- 689.03-Only $68,739-30 Has Been Accounted For as Yet Salem, Feb. 22.—The discovery of a defalcation of $30,949.78 is the sub stance of the report made by the joint committee appointed to examine the books and accounts of the state land department. The alleged misappro priation occurred in 1894 and 1895, under the administration of George W. Davis, as clerk of the board. It ap pears that the shortage was effected in various amounts, by taking credit twice for one payment of money, or by altering the book entries sojas to credit the clerk with more money than he had paid. In some cases it is barely possible that an innocent error was committed, while in others there is a plain alteration of the books by eras ing one set of figures and writing in others. The committee found no errors in the accounts of the present administra tion, and so reports. The report is as follows: “We, your committee appointed under concurrent resolution No. 5, beg leave to report as follows: “That we have checked up the school funds up to and including 1894. That for the years 1894 and 1895 we fl nd that the clerk of the state land board has collected money to the amount of $30,949 73, which said sum has never been turned over to the state treasurer. We append a statement hereto annexed and marked Exhibit A, showing the amounts collected and the amounts for which the said clerk has receipts. The balance, as shown, was never turned over to the treasurer, but the books were balanced by a numl«pr of false entries. The principal entry credited the school fund with $10,- 449.94 twice, when he had but one receipt covering the amount; another being a raise of $3,000 on a receipt of the treasurer, and a number of other credits for which he held no receipts. “We submit .herewith a statement showing those we bave found to date. There may be others that we have not found, owing to limited time at our disposal, having used the greater part of our time before we came to this. “For the past five years we find all moneys turned over to the treasurer as by law required. The present offioers have been very kind and obliging to us, showing us every courtesy possible, and furnishing us with all papers and books requested. In regard to invest igation of land matters we beg leave to say that our work is just fairly com menced. This is a work ot no small magnitude, and reqires a vast amount of careful and painstaking work. It is a work of great importance to the state, however, and should be attended to.” | R. G. Dun & Co. says: Business in the East and particularly along the North Atlautic coast has been catching up with the rest of the couutrv a little this week, so that iu the lines where complaint has been heard of late the tone is better. This comes from the working off of retail stocks which the owners feared would have to be carried over to next season. In builders’ hardware the buying has been nota bly better, and the distribution in the grocery jobbing trade has been given a considerable stimulus. Even the laggard dry goods market has shown a good measure of improvement, though in cotton goods there is still much to be desired, for the larger buy ing has not brought any improvement in the general tone, aud in some direc tions the maiket is slower than a week ago. Footwear is firmly held at unchanged prices, with good buying of spring lines in the Boston market. Western trade is less active and some oiders have been countermanded. No diminution appears in the move ment of iron ami steel products. Mills are rushed with orders and new con tracts are taken at full prices. Pig iron is freely bought and prices tend upward. Billets and other partially manufactured forms are firmer, and finished goods would command higher prices if immediate delivery could be secured. Grain markets are devoid of wide fluctuations, although many reports are circulated regarding the condition of winter wheat, but it is too early to secure definite information. News from India and Australia indicate a larger ciop than last year’s. Failures for the week in the United States were 253 against 201 last year. In Canada for the same period they were 39 against 33 last year. PACIFIC COAST TRADE. Seattle Market. Onions, new yellow, $2.50(£3. Lettuce, hot house, $1.60 per case. Potatoes, new. $18.
