CLEVELMDOR GRAY,
Either Would Suit the Dem
ocrats of Indiana Yery
Well, Thongh
GR07ER IS EffiST-CHOICE.
A Lively, Enthusiastic Convention,
and a Number of Surprises,
SENATOR TUEPIE'S BOLD SPEECH,
In Which the Administration Catches-It
Bight and Left.
EVEN RECIPROCITY IS DENOUNCED
Indianapolis, April 2L The com
promise agreed upon at the series of confer
ences of Democratio bodies of Indiana was
carried out to the letter in the State Con
vention to-day. Grover Cleveland is in
dorsed as the logical candidate of the Dem
ocratic party, and in the event that the Na
tional Convention deems the nomination of
Mr. Cleveland inexpedient, the delegation
is instructed to use every honorable effort to
secure th: nomination of Governor Isaao P.
Gray for the Presidency.
The delegation which goes to the National
Convention is understood to be about equal
ly composed of personal followers of Cleve
land and Gray, although each faction natur
ally claims to have a majority of the 30 del
egates. The understanding seems to be
cordial and sincere that the delegation shall
cast its solid vote for Grover Cleveland on
the first ballots, but that the minute the
convention turns its attention to "dark
horses" Isaac Pasey Gray is to receive the
entire vote of the delegation as the favor
ite son of Indiana.
The Great Surprise of the Day.
The surprise of the day was the defeat of
John G. Shanklin, of Evansville, for the
nomination for Governor. He had been
steadily in the lead until yesterday, and as
he was pronounced emphatic in favor of
Cleveland, his friends hoped the great
Cleveland sentiment in the convention
would carry him through. The result, how
ever, showed that each of the other candi
dates, all neutral on the Presidental ques
tion, drew away many of the Cleveland
delegates,while the Gray people, on account
of Shanklin's hostility to their candidates,
were against him to a man.
Every county in the State was repre
sented by a full delegation, and 3,000 en
thusiastic Democrats crowded the galleries
and aisles. The convention was held in
Tomlinson Hall, a magnificently decorated
structure, in which the Stars and Stripes
played a prominent part in the elaborate
adornments. Overhanging the Chairman's
desk were half a dozen mammoth American
flags, bearing the portraits of Cleveland,
Gray and Hendricks.
There were loud cheers when the Commit
tee on Permanent Organization reported
United States Senator Turpi e Chairman of
the convention and Senator Voorhees, Hugh
Dougherty, Charles L. Jewett and Samuel
E. Morss as delegates at large to the Na
tional Convention.
Tnrplo Scores the Administration.
Tremendous applause greeted Ihe intro
duction ol Senator Turpie as Chairman of
the convention. He cordially thanked the
convention for the honor. The Committee
on Besolutions then reported the platform,
which was adopted with great cheering.
Chairman Turpie' a remarks were also heart
ily applauded. The most striking part, of
his speech, judging from the cheers, was the
following:
The flesh and the blood and embodiment,
the completes! persoulfloation of the errors,
falsehoods and fallacies of the Eepublican
party Is now au lnoumbent of the Presi
dental chair. At the opening of the present
session, last December, he sent a message to
the people through their representatives In
Congress assemble 2. This message was sent
in a period of much depressure, when thou
sands of workmen wore waiting for an in
crease of wages, as promised alter the pass
age of the JicKinley law, when other thou
sands w ere waiting and are still w altlng In
vain for work or employment at any w aees,
which had also been promised as the result
of that measure. It was a period, also, of
great depression in the price of agricultural
products. The great staples of the farmer
cotton, grain and wheat were at prices
much below those obtained years ago, before
the adoption of what is known as the pro
tective tarin policy. Yet in this message, so
delivered, under such circumstances, there
is no mention of wages; there is no offer of
additional advantages for work or employ
ment; nothing is said of the broken pledges
and violated promises under which Lis
party had obtained power.
There are very voluminous utterances In
the message concerning Bering Sea and Bal
maceda. Laughter. There are some ver
bose and misty predictions, mysterious
prophecies, about the benefits to becon
1 erred upon this portion of mankind by that
very attenuated and shadowy sham, mis
called reciprocity. Applause.) Really, to
read this message carefully, one would think
that the people of the United States had no
methods of escape, of refuge, or release
from the executions and extortions of Mc
Kinleyism, except in some favor which
might be shown them and conferred on
them by the special grace of the Brazilian
ministry or some other good-hearted diplo
matists or loreign powers. Laughter. But
it will be seen next November, by many un
answerable proofs, that the people have the
means of escape in their hands.
An Outline of the Platform.
The platform is exactly as outlined in
these dispatches last night Local self-government'
and home rule are demandei
Economy in governmental expenditures is
advised. "Public office is a solemn public
trust," is declared. The Harrison adminis
tration is arraigned "for its brazen violation
of its solemn pledges to the country," and
Judge "Woods' elevation is condemned.
Tariff relorm is favored and reciprocity ridi
culed. Voorhees and Turpie are indorsed.
The currency plank reads thus: "We be
lieve that there should be kept in constant
circulation a full and sufficient volume of
money, consisting ot gold, silver and legal
tender paper currency at par with each
other." The election of United States
Senators by the people is favored. Kaum
and the Pension Bureau are denounced.
Cleveland is the recognized logical candi
date and Gray his legatee, the final resolu
tions say, and the delegates are instructed
to vote that way at Chicago.
Continued Cheers for Cleveland.
The financial plank and the declaration in
favor of the election of United States Sena
tors by direct vote of the people were loudly
applauded, but the greatest enthusiasm of
the occasion was reserved for the Presi
dental resolutions declaring for ex-President
Cleveland but indorsing ex-Governor
Gray as the choice of Indiana should the
ex-President's nomination become impos
sible. At the mention of Grover Cleveland
a thousand people arose simultaneously,
and one mighty cheer came from their
throats, and handkerchiefs were waved en
thusiastically. Another greeted the declaration of Cleve
land as the logical candidate, and this mani
festation inspired the Gray people to at
tempt to rival the Cleveland followers in
expressions of enthusiasm. "When the
name of Gray was mentioned another thou
sand enthusiasts sprang to their feet and
again cheers rent the air, and handkerchiefs
ind hats were waved wildly in the air.
Gray's Picture Turned to the WalL
Appellate judges were then nominated, .
during which the most amusing incident of
the day occurred. Large-sized portraits of
Gray, Cleveland and Hendricks had been
suspended in a row above the stage. Sud
denly the portrait of Grayegan to swing,
.....twiTilv iTrmpllftd hv filipht draughts nf
air, and finally turning, with the lace to
the wall, rested in that position. Instantly
there was a wild veil of applause from the
Cleveland non, who regarded this as an
omen of the retirement of Iiaao Pniey
Gray from the Presidental arena, Prantlo
attempts were made by the Gray men on
the stage to restore the pioture to its orig
inal position, but it persisted repeatedly in
swinging back with the face to the waU,
and eaoh unsuccessful attempt to readjust
it was only the signal for jeers of hilarity
from the Cleveland men and cries of They
turned his picture to the wall."
The Gray men finally desisted, and the
ex-Governor's portrait remained for an hour
with his face -to the wall, until some
thoughtful genius finally inserted guy cord
to keep it steady.
While these wild attempts were being
made to keep the Gray portrait In a digni
fied position, another draught of air caught
Cleveland's portrait, and it, too, began to
swing to one side.
Deference to the fair Bex.
Immediately there were deafening jeers
of delight from the Gray men, bnt their en
thusiasm was short-lived. The portrait
only swung half way round, when it
stopped, facing the ladies' galleries, and the
fair admirers of the ex-President applauded
this unconscious deference to their sex, the
Cleveland men caught it up, and the late
mishap was made the occasion for another
enthusiastio Cleveland demonstration.
The State ticket was then nominated, as
follows:
Governor Claude Matthews.
Lieutenant Governor Mortimer Nye, of
Laporte.
Secretary of State William B. Myers.
Auditor of State John Oscar Henderson.
Treasurer of State Albert Gall.
Attorney General Alonzo Greensmltb.
Beporter Supreme Court Sydney. Moon.
Supeiintendent of Publio Instruction
Harvey D. Vorols.
State Statistician William A. Peele.
Before adjournment speeches were made
by Matthews, Shanklin, Niblaok, Nye and
other candidates, successful and otherwise.
The nominee for Governor, Claude Hat
thews, is 47 years old, and has held many
State offices, having once led his party to
victory by 20,000 majority for Secretary of
State.

Ten to Twelve Jfew Democratio Organiza

Washington, April 2L SpecUL
There is to be a meeting of the general
committee of the .National Association of
Democratic Clubs in Chicago Jnne 21.
Secretary Lawrence Gardner to-day re
ceived a letter from the officers of the Cook
County Democratic Association of Chicago,
tendering the use of their headquarters for
the meeting. All the prominent mem
bers of the Association will probably
go to Chicago to attend the National
Convention, and as a matter
of convenience it was thought best to call,
the meeting of the general committee for
that date. The principal business to be
transacted is the selection of a place tor
holding the annual convention of the asso
ciation. St Paul, Des Moines, and Indian
apolis are applicants for the privilege of en
tertaining the association, which has a
membership of nearly 5,000 clubs. Many
of these clubs retain their organization from
one year to another, while others reorganize
for every new campaign.
Secretary Gardner says the association is
now engaged in the distribution of cam
paign literature in all sections of the coun
try, and it will work in conjunction with
the National Committee. The greatest in
test in the association appears to be in the
"West, where new clubs are being organized
every day. There is also a healthy growth
n the South and East From 10 to 12 new
nrganizations are enrolled on the list ot
membership daily.

THE PITTSBURG
A PERFIDIOUS LOYER
Was Eoblnson to Lieut Hethering-
ton's Wife, According to
COMMANDER BARTLETT'S STORY.
The Inglishman Broke His Promise Not to
Pursue the Woman.
BRANDED AS A LIAR AND AS A COWARD'
. Vancouyeb, B. 0., April 21. By mall,
per steamer Empress of Japan, oomo details
of the doienio submitted In the trial of
Llentenant Hetherlngton before' tho United
States Consular Court In Yokohama, but the
oase had not boen oonoluded at the date of
the iteaaor's sailing. Mr. Tiion, for the
aeoused, on Maroh 81, made a presentation
of faots and produced numerous witnesses.
He laid evidenoe would be produoed to
show the relations between Eoblnson, the
murdered man, and Mrs. Hetherington, his
dishonorable conduct and the justification
Lieutenant Hetherington had in taking
stringent measures to proteot the honor of
his family; also, that the feelings of the ac
cused were so wrought up by the deceased's
conduct that the act was unpremeditated.
Evidence was produced to show that Mrs.
Hetherington was introduced to Captain
Gamble in October last in the Grand Hotel,
Yokohama. Robinson previously had been
very frequently at the hotel for dinner.
Notes had passed by regular hotel messen
gers from Mrs. Hetherington to Bobinson
in November, but there was no secrecy
abont them.
Mice Flay When the Cat I Away.
Hetherington returned from a cruise in
December, and, owing to what he had
learned of Bobinsons oonduot toward his
wife in his absence, he went to Mrs. Bart
lett, wife of Commander Bartlett, in a state
of great excitement, asking her to take
charge of his child, as he considered his
wife was no proper person for that purpose.
The accused later in the day told Mrs. Bart
lett he had agreed to live with Mb wife the
same as ever on account of his child.
At a ball on January 23 Bobinson took
up Mrs. Hetheriugton's dance card and
wrote in it, and shortly afterward left the
ballroom alone. It was also shown that he
entered the hotel by the back door that
night and went to Mrs. Hetherington's
room.
The evidence of Commander Bartlett, of
the Marion, showed that Hetherington
made a confidant of him, and on the same
day that he asked Mrs. Bartlett to take
ehanre of his child he told Bartlett he
wanted to horsewhip Robinson. Bartlett
said he would not allow such a scandal, and
then Hetherington agreed that if Eoblnson
left Yokohama he would be satisfied, but if
he would not go he would have to take the
consequences. Bartlett went to ask Bobin
son to leave Yokohama. The interview was
an animated one.
Commander Bartlett's Intercession.
Bobinson said he was going to leave Janu
ary 9, and had made arrangements to sell
out on Mrs. Hetherington's account, and
had even refused to attend a ball because
Mrs. Hetherington would be there. Com
mander Bartlett gave the following account
of the ensuing conversation:
I asked Kouinson to explain his atten
tions to and peisecution of a married
woman, and why he followed her when he
knew that Mr. Hetherington was away from
his wife. I said, "Kobinson, Hetherington
wrote you early in December in an honor
able and gentlemanly way. Ton wrote a
letter in answer, also, in an honorable and
gentlemanly manner, and in which you
said you would give him no more cause for
anxiety; and yet, after giving your word ot
honor aa a gentleman to leave Mrs. Hether
ington alone, no sooner is her husband's
ship out of the harbor than you qo to the
Grand Hotel."
To this Robinson replied, "Bnt she wrote
me a letter that morning, aBkinz me to come
and see her. She is always setting her cap
forme. Every day she persecutes me. She
has followed me, trying to get me to pay her
attention."
I said, "Would it not have been easy for
you to have sent some of these notes to her
husband, and then things could have been
settled at once. Tou blame this woman!
You, a man who Knows that woman can
never be blamed Mnce the time of Evet"
for the first time I lost my temper, called
him a coward to try to fix this blame
upon the woman.
The Naval Commander Swears.
It was trying, and I continued, "D you,
you scoundrel, villain, if I had been in
Hetherington's place I would have pnt a
bullet through you at sight." I do not
usually speak in that way. None of my
officers ever heard me swear. He turned to
me and said:
"I believe Lieutenant Hetherington is justi
fied in his conduct. I deserve shooting. I
deserve anything. I have been expecting
Lieutenant He therinzton to shoot me."
I said, "I will not allow any shooting here
or horsewhipping if you behave yourself;
but you must behave, or I shall be present
and see you horsewhipped." I said that it
was my belief now "that instead of Jho
woman setting her cap for him he had de
liberately laid siege to her from the first day
that she landed, itobinson promised not to
attend any ball or dinner to which Mrs.
Hetherington was Invited, and if by
chance ho met her to feign illness and
leave; but at that time I learned Eoblnson
had made arrangements to follow Mrs.
Hetherington should her husband take her
with him.
Commander Bartlett's evidence further
showed that Bobinson had expected that
Hetherington, accompanied by Bartlett,
were going to horsewhip him, and his
friends assembled to protect him. They
afterward persuaded him to go to Kobe, but
he returned.
The Murdered Man's Treachery.
Though Bobinson had promised never
again to meet Mrs. Hetherington, on New
Year's Day, while driving past the Grand
Hotel, he looked up at a window in which
Mrs. Hetherington was, and smiled. He
kept smiling till his carriage got out of
sight Lieutenant Hetherington was in a
passion over this and was going to horse
whip Bobinson that evening, but his friends
persuaded him not to. Bobinson was shown
to have proposed a scheme ot flight to Den
ver and to have sent a note to Mrs. Hether
ington's room by a friend. He told the
bearer that he had asked Mrs. Hetherington
not to send any more letters to him.
The evidence for the defense showed
many acts in the past of Bobinson, tending
to compromise Mrs. Hetherington in spite
of his promises to pay her no attentions.
He had spoken sneeringly of her to his
friends, and said she was forcing her atten
tions on him. He also showed her letters
to his friends. It was also shown that dur
ing this time Bobinson continued sending
many letters to Mrs. Hetherington, which
she refused to accept from the messenger.
Other witnesses testified to the accused
being in a highly excited state for several
days before the shooting.
GEANPS MONUMENT IN EIGHT.
At Last It Looks as if tho Money Would
Beally Be Balsed.
New York, April 2LirfaZ. Every
one of the 2,000 odd committeemen, who
have been appointed to collect subscriptions
in the different industries for the Grant
monument fund, is working like a beaver,
and there is no question now that the $350,
000 which General Porter has set about ob
taining will be raised by the end of the
month. The trustees of the Grant Monu
ment Association had a long session this
afternoon, in which plans were dis
cussed for the dedication. Un
til Governor Flower signs the
bill providing for a half holiday on April
27, the necessary arrangements for the pa
rade will not be made. It has not yet been
decided whether the First Brigade is to
tutn out for the occasion, but by to-morrow
Secretary J. C. Beed says the arrangements
for the parade and dedication will be per
fected. The President of the Building Material

Exchange appointed a committee of 27 to
day to solicit subscriptions among the mem
bers of the exohange. The passenger ele
vator manufacturers met in the Astor

HIGHEST WATER EVER KNOWN
Threatened for the Lower Mississippi by s
Special Bulletin From Washington The
Ohio River Evan Now Beginning- to
Boom From Various Points.
Washington, April 21, Beoent heavy
rains are causing the rivers to rise rapidly
in the Ohio and Upper Mississippi valleys.
The stage of water in the Lower Mississippi
river, also high and rising, will be added
greatly in the next two weeks. The situa
tion as regards the possibility of an over
flow of the Lower Misslbsippi is critical.
The following is the outlook as matters
stand at present:
The river at St Louis has risen 3.7 feet in
the last three days, and is now at a stag of
28.8 feet. It is likely to continue rising for
two days, and will reach 28 feet At Cin
cinnati, there has been a rise of 20.4 feet in
the past three days, carrying the stage to
40.9 feet to-day, April 21. It seems likely
from present Indications that the river at
Cincinnati will rise at least to the 45 feet '
stage by April 23. From the rises in the
Ohio at places above Cairo, It is estimated
that the river at Cairo will rise 6.5 feet in
the next seven days, making the stage ap
proximate SO feet by April 28, or within 2
feet of the highest that occurs there. The
principal factors in the rise are the consid
erable rise at St Louis and the great rise at
Cincinnati, the crest time of water from
which latter place to Cairo is about six
days.
The Lower Mississippi river at Memphis
will rise to the highest known stage, 38.6
feet, or even higher by May 6. At Helena,
Ark., the stage to-day is 4a 3 feet. There
has been a rise of 8 feet in the past ten
days. By May 10 the stage will rise to
about 47 feet or more. At Arkansas City
the river, which to-day is 45.6 feet, will con
tinue to rise until May 15, when the stage
will approximate the highest water known,
about 49.5 feet At Greenville, Miss., the
stage of river, whioh to-day is 40.2 feet, will
reach a stage of about 43 feet by May 15.
At Vicksburg, Miss., the stage of water to
day is 44.5 feet It will reach by May 15
about 48 feet
THE MEETING A FIZZLE.
Bat Few Colored Representatives At
tended the Reorganization ot Avery
College Last Night The Object Was to
Formulate Flans to Utilize 850,000.
A meeting of the, colored citizens of
Pittsburg and Allegheny was held in the
Avery Church, on Avery street, Allegheny,
last night The object of the call was to
take action in regard to the utilization of
the $50,000 fund left by Eev. Charles Avery
to the colored people of the two cities for
the education of their race and establish
ment ot an educational institution. This
bequest was made a number of years ago,
but has lain dormant and the interest has
accumulated.
Bev. J. A. Boyden presided. He stated
the reason of the calL After some discus
sion as to what disposition should be made
of the fund, whether there should be a col
lege, an industrial or a mechanical school,
Bev. Dr. Low made a motion that the 'old
Avery College be again put in operation.
In offering this resolution he made a
lengthy address about the condition of the
colored race, and the relations between
them and the white people. He then
moved, as the general sentiment of those
present was against the taking of positive
action while such a slim representation was
had, that action be postponed until May 2.
The motion carried. '
BOOMERS RUSHING BACK.
There'll Be More Than Cnongh Claim Filers
to Take Their Places.
Kingfisher, O. T., April 21. As the
Bock Island . train went north to-day the
depot platform was crowded with homeward
bound boomers, so anxious to get
seats that they made a tush for
the open windows of the cars and
were helped aboard by the parties on the in
side for fear they would be left another day.
Yet the crowd in town to-night is undi
minished, and sleeping apartments are at a
premium. This is owing to the fact
that the homesteaders are coming
in to make their filings. About
1,400 have numbers in line. It will take 15
days for the filing of all now waiting, and
the number is increasing.
The new county seats have been settled;
city and county governments organized
peacefully, and all is quiet to-day. The
settlers are already breaking prairie and
planting corn, and boomers are get
ting in their work on selling claims.
Besident lots in some of the new towns are
now offered at 51 each. Many of the home
steaders are suffering from the want of
water. Unless rain comes soon the settle
ment of large sections of the new country
must be delayed.

Paris, April 2L The Cabinet has
finally deolded npon extensive operations
in Dahomey, which will be intrusted to the
Minister of Marine. La France to-day pub
lishes a strong artlole in which it accuses
England of enoouraging' King Behanzin to
resist the French.
A dispatch from Kotonou states that a
gunboat has arrived there to protect -the
town should the Dahomeyans make an at
tack upon it A most welcome addition has
been made to the garrison at Kotonou by
the arrival on the gunboat of a number of
Senegalese troops. The Dahomeyan force
near Kotonou are building intrenchments,
and are making a road for the purpose of
bringing supplies from the interior.
French Protectorate In Prospect.
The newspapers here demand that th
present campaign against Dahomey be. di
rected to effect the complete subjngation of
that country and thus render further action
by the French unnecessary. King Behan
zin, they say, having been educated in
Paris, knows the resources ot France; but
this fact has not deterred him from acting
in a most arrogant manner and indulging in
many threats against the French. It is
judged by the tone of the articles that it is
desired that a French Protectorate be estab
lished in Dahomey.
M. Albecca, ex-President of Porto Novo,
who is thoroughly acquainted with Da
homey, declares that although the Da
homeyans are a dangerous enemy, the army
of the King is quite disorganized. In fact,
he says that the so-called army is nothing
more than a horde of bandits, whom the
French troops will annihilate when decisive
action is taken.
The Gruesome Side or tho Picture.
This is, however, rather an optimlstie
view of the oonditlon of affair. The method
ot warefare followed by the Dahomeyans is
one that does not promise well for their
annihilation. It is the custom of their
army to never follow the roads or beaten
tracks. They out a new road with incredible
swiftness through the forests and Jungles,
and swoop down on an enemy when least ex
pected. They are thoroughly acquainted
with the jungle, and a pursuit of them
would be an almost hopeless task.
To conduct a guerilla warfare of this char
acter would resnlt in great loss of life, not
alone from the enemy, but from fever and
miasmatic diseases. Those acquainted with
the Dahomeyans and the country, and who
are not carried away by the idea of an
African campaign, know that to completely
subdue Dahomey will be an expensive un
dertaking, both "in life and money.
ALL WANT CARDINALS.
The European Powers Are Scrambling 'for
Bed Bat Appointments.
Rome, April 2L The negotiations for
the creation of future Cardinals proceed
slowly. The contracting powers of the
Triple Alliance are doing their utmost to
secure the appointment of their nominees
with a view to the next conclave. It is now
safe to say that the Pope has decided to
create five Italian Cardinals. The Nuncio
of Madrid and the Nuncio" of Vienna are
certain to be of this number. The latter
will retain his position as Nuncio. It is
certain that eight foreign Cardinals will be
created, among whom will be two-Spaniards.
The Pope has twice offered the purple to
Monsignor Egger, Bishop of St Gall, Swit
zerland, but the latter has refused from
feelings of modesty.
The request of the Emperor Francis
Joseph, of Austria-Hungair, that three
Austrian Cardinals be appointed has been
refused. It is not yet certain whether
there will be a new German Cardinal.
Emperor William recently asked, through
Minister Schloezer, that Bishop Kopp be
honored with a Cardinal's hat, but the
Pope refused to entertain the idea, much
to the surprise, it Is said, of Germany.
Several groups of American Catholics have
been making great efforts to obtain the cre
ation of an American Cardinal. An Irish
Cardinal will probably be ordained, and at
least one French Cardinal, if not two. '
JAEGEB PEBHAP3 A SUICIDE.
Bis Thefts From the Bothschllds Almost
Twice-Those Beported.
. Berlin, April 21. It has been learned
that the money stolen by Jaeger, the de
faulting chief cashier of the Bothschilds at
Frankfort, amounts, to 1,700,000 marks. He
had used the greater part of the proceeds of
his robberies in speculation in fruit in
Berlin and Odessa. These speculations
turned out unremunerative, and when he
thought there was a chance of his pecula
tions being discovered he fled. As yet the
police have discovered no clue to his "where
abouts, and the opinion gains strength that
he has committed suicide. Search is being
made for him in every direction.
Jaeger's frauds have extended over a series
of years. He falsified his accounts, and as
no regular examination of his books was
ever made he escaped detection. He not
only robbed the Bothschilds, but he also
appropriated to his own use the money of
two widows that had been intrusted to him.
It is reported to-davthat a letter written by
Jaeger at Darmstadt has been received by
the manager of the house. In this letter it
is said that Jaeger admits the frauds and
announces his intention to commit suicide.
The police are endeavoring to trace the em
bezzler through this letter.

by the priest Amalfitano against Cardinal
Oreglia, after a week's hearing, ended to

Amalfitano was ordered to pay the expenses

Father Amalfitano accused Cardinal
Oreglia of libeling him at the Vatican by
declaring that his management of a leeacv

church, which he administered, was reckless
and dishonest, thereby preventing the

Two Stalwart Indians Call at the White

Money for Accommodation.
Washington, April 21. SpecM. At
4 o'clock this afternoon two stalwart In
dians of the Washoe tribe stalked up the
circular walk . leading from Pennsylvania
avenue to the door of the White House, de
posited two large bundles that they had
been carrying on their backs, and rang the
front door belL Both were typical red men,
dressed in costume and half wild and half
civilized. Ona of them was a very young
man whose hair had recently been cut, ap
parently with a circular saw, and his com
B anion, a man about 80 years of age, looked
ke a warior fresh from the plains.
When Captain Dinsmore opened the door
the young man, who spoke English like a
Bostonian, said they had just arrived from
Nevada, and had come straight to the
White House, being told they would find
eating and sleeping accommodations there.
"A feller out in Carson told ns to come
here," the young man said, while the old
one sat on the big bundle and gased at the
pretty colored glass in the door.
While Captain Dinsmore was explaining
that the Executive Mansion was not a lodg
ing house Mrs. McKee drove up, and it wa3
necessary to move the old man and the bun
dle out of the way so she could enter. Then
the Captain told the red men to go see Gen
eral Morgan, Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
who might advise them what to do. They
said they had money in their pockets, and
had important business at the Interior
Department They did not like the idea
of calling on General Morgan, aud when
they were told the only guest chamber at
the White House was occupied by Dr.
Scott, Mrs. Harrison's patriarchal father.
they said they would go see Senator Stew
art, as they were his constituents. So they
picked up their big bundles, and with

Capitol.
WALES IKE A CBAB.
Philadelphia Doctors Puzzled Over a Lad's
Strange Affliction.
Philadelphia, April 21. Joseph
Copeman, the 11-year-old deaf mute, whose
strange habit of walking backward like a
crab attracted the attention of the medical
fraternity some months ago, now lies in the
infirmary of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum,
at Broad and Pine streets, completely para
lyzed except for the right arm, as the
result of a fit of convulsions which
seized him about two weeks ago.
The fact that the primal cause
of all the boy's infirmities was just such an
other convulsive attack has led the phy
sicians acquainted with the case to believe
that a few more recurrences of the convul
sions will destroy the power of his right
arm, and eventually put an end to his life.
Dr. Horatio Wood, who has made a special
study of the case, is still completely non
plussed. When Copeman arrived at the Pennsyl
vania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb
last September, his peculiar habit of walk
ing backward led Superintendent Crouter
to give the lad in charge of the physicians
of the University Hospital for treatment
Inquiry of his grandparents, in Central
Pennsylvania, elicited the information that
the boy had been born with the full use
of his faculties, but had lost his speech
and hearing through an attack of convul
sions when very young. Several months
prior to his admission to the Broad street
institution he had been seized by another fit,
after which his grandmother noticed that he
limped painfully. His grandmother, think
ing that the boy was mimicking an old man
of the neighborhood, trashed him and
warned him not to repeat the offense. The
boy grew worse, however, and finally began
to walk backward instead of in the usual
way. He was sent to several institutions in
the State without obtaining relief, and was
finally brought to the asylum.

12 STILL ENTOMBED..
But Little Hope Now of Finding the
Flooded Ont Miners Alive.
A EESCDED MAN TELLS HIS STORT.
He Signaled o Those Without by Eappinjr
on the Solid Walls.
PROPER PRECAUTIONS WERE TAKES
Pottsville, April 21. The work of
rescuing the men, if they are alive, or of
recovering their bodies, if dead, goes
briskly on at the Lytle colliery, which was
so disastrously flooded Wednesday evening.
Duplex pumps, each lifting 1,000,000 gal
lons of water every 21 hours, were started
late this afternoon in addition to the other
machinery already busily at work in clearing
the flooded parts ot the mine. It will re
quire another day at least of pumping
before there is a chance of reaching any of
the bodies. A Minersville undertaker has
been authorized by the company to take
charge of the bodies when recovered and
give them a Christian burial. A reporter
interviewed this morning the men who were
rescued from the Lytle colliery, near
Minersville, after being imprisoned seven
hours. William Bell tells a thrilling story
of his experience. Said he:
William Bell's Story or Bis Escape.
Yesterday was my second day's work at
the colliery. Thomas Buggy was my "butty."
We were on onr way out, having completed
our day's work; I hoard William Adams,
the doss, call out that the water was com
ing. I then called to Buggy to throw away
his cans and tools and run. The noise was
so gieat that I did not know whether he was
behind me or not, as both of our lights had
been put out hy the damp. When the ex
citement was over I found myself on the
"saddle," several feet above the water. I
thought that by remaining relief would come
soon. It took me about three minutes to
cover the distance from where I was when I
first learned of the danger to my place of
saftfty.
The water, however, followed me closely
and was only a few feet below me. From
ray height I could hear the water rushing
in. I did not know what became of Buggy,
and knew nothing of the whereabouts of the
others. I was there but a short time when
I began to rap. Shortly afterward I heard
rapplntr, as if someone were drilling a hole.
I surmised that my signal was heard and
that parties: were trying to cut a hole
through the solid lock to reach me.
Several shots were fired. I continued
rannlnz now and then. Hods came and I
never faltered, but kept my presence of
mind throughout, xne water oegan to re
cede after several hours, and work ceased at ',
the hole. It was tnen out a nan nour oeiore
the heroic band of rescuers, beaded by In
side Foreman William E.Adams, mv brother
Dave, John Jenkins ana my brother-in-law,
John Schopp, and a Hungarian whose name
I do not know, came to my relief. I was
about 25 feet from the airshaft. I heard
Dolbln call and answered him. It was about
10-30 when I reached the surface, and I then
went home.
Anxious to Bescue Fellow Workmen.
Dolbin was not in the least dismayed by
his experience. He was very anxious to
join the rescuers in the search for his
"butty" Bugey, whom he thinks was over
taken by the flood; and when taken from his
Iierilous position last night, asked theprivs
ege of going back at once. He was taken
to his home, however, and after a few hours'
rest set out for the mine, and is now one of
the party working for the recovery of the
bodies of the unfortunate men.
The exact number of men imprisoned by
the Lytle mine flooded near Minersville, has
been ascertained to be 12. The water broke
in about i o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
after six hours of agonized imprisonment
William Bell and James Dolbin, who had
fled to a high portion of the mine, were
rescued through the heroic efforts of their
fellow workingmen. The unfortunate men
who are -still imprisoned are undoubtedly
drowned, as they have no chance of escap
ing like the two rescued. Two of the un
fortunates are John Serbe, of Llewellyn,
and Thomas Buggy, of Black Heath. The
others were Italian laborers. At its high
est point the water reached 200 feet up the
slope, and it will take a day or two to re
move sufficient to reach the place where the
men are imprisoned.
Proper Precautions Were Taken.
Superintendent J. H. Hosie was in town,
and, being interviewed, said that they had
been taking the utmost precaution in open
ing newwork; and while the law requires
drilling ahead a distance of only 20 feet,
they bored, as in this instance, -11 leet, not
only directly ahead, but also to the side, as
the tunnel advanced. The chute where the
water is supposed to have burst through
was not for the purpose of mining coal, but
to give a proper opening for carrying air to
the face of the gangway. He says that
until all water had been tapped from the
workings they allowed only as few men as.
tbey could possibly gef along with.
Speaking of the risk run in working at
this colliery, he said he would never allow
any of his men to work in any part of the
mine in which he was afraid to enter him
self, or in which he had the least idea of
danger. He made it a point to go to the
different parts of the mine every hour or
two in the day to see that his orders were
carried out In his inside boss, Mr. Adams,
he places the utmost confidence. Had there
been any suspicion of immediate danger, he
surely would have done all in his power to
avoid the calamity.
