mies. tSrECIAI. TELXGRAX TO THE DISrATCH.
Washington, June 12. This has been
a very quiet day, politically, here. The
Republican leaders hare held informal con
ferences and compared notes with regard to
the prospects and the conduct of the cam
paign. Trom a multitude of assurances received
by mail and telegraph the President is
justified in hoping that he can count on the
united support of all branches of the Re
publican party in the coming campaign.
The Republican watchword now is lor all
"to get together," and the Democrats will
make a serious mistake if they act on the
supposition that the feuds which were so
prominent at Minneapolis are to be per
petuated. Some amusement has been occasioned in
administration circles by sundry announce
ments by rabid Blaiue men that they had de
cided to burr the hatchet and "let bygones
he bygones." This recalls Artemus Ward's
critical and unfriendly audience, in which
there were many who "could have borrowed
money from him on the spot."
But the President will not refuse the
overtures ot his erstwhile enemies. He will
accept all the votes he can get
The Blaine men have rounded to already,
and the indications are that the silver Re
publicans will shortly follow their exam
.ple, as Senator Teller has led the way.
Governor McKinley and the Ohio rebels
may be called ugly names for a day or two,
bnt they will also be received back into the
fold with open arms.
DEPEW IS DELIGHTED.
Ho Can See Only Plain Sailing for The
Ticket 'o Knives to Be Drawn This
Time The Day for Revenue Fast Har
rison's Klements of Strength.
Chicago, June 12. Chauncey M. Depew
arrived in the city this morning, and left
lor New York in the afternoon. In answer
to questions by reporters Mr. Depew said:
You need anticipate no bitterness on the
part of those who voted for other candidates
than Harrison. Mr. Piatt will not oppose
the nominee. Conkling once believed that
the Eepublican party had gone to Its po
litical death. Yet we carried the State of
New York handsomely for the nominee. In
that Instance, as is always the case, the
joungmen know nothing about the wire
pulling or leaders and all these little games
that go on behind the curtain. They went
to work and organized themselves. The
leaders saw that they were not indlspensi
ble after all, and that the band wagon was
getting so far in advance of them that If
they waited until after the campaign they
would not he able to get In it again.
People never knife a ticket merely to re
venge. They may do so if, through their re
venges, they see that they can destroy the
rival of their favorite, and thus make proba
ble the future success of that favorite. Such
would probably be the attitude of the Hill
men toward Cleveland. The possible atti
tude of Hill's followers toward Cleveland,
however, is not a possibility on the Repub
lican side. .
Opposition Concentrated on Blaine.
The opposition to President Harrison was
concentrated on Blaine. Nobody believes
for a moment that Blaine desires to re-enter
public life. There is no doubt that Clark
son, Piatt and Quay honestly believed they
conld nominate Blaine. But tne Minneapo
lis Convention was run on DOpular princi
ples, never had more able politicians
than those men in the management of Its
machinery, andtneyare invaluable in the
after-convention canvass. But the posses
sion or great power leads party leaders to
discount the strength of party movements.
Clarkson and the otner leaders who stood
with him could not feel the power of the
great business interests of the country. It
Is not seen in caucuses or conventions.
Han. son had scarcely any organization, to
(peak of, and he had none of these great
political leaders. But telegrams favoring
him not manufactuied telegram", but the
honest expressions of business men came
pourins- into Minneapolis, and they were
eiy effective. We met every night. There
were no bras bands, but in a quiet way the
Chairman, pencil In hand, took the leports
on the situation from the others. In this
work of getting at the exact condition of
things and the progress we were making
your man Jones, "Long" Jones, was most
efficient. He was superb. Then we
made up our minds to risk a
tet. It was a daring thing to do.
We arianged for a meeting of all the Harri
son delegates. We knew perfectly well that
if not enouzh delegates appeared to consti
tute a majority of tt.e convention the fact
would be recognized bv the weak-kneed
men to be a roleae, and that our cause was
lost. But when 1C3 votes were found they
chose me to lead the column, Jully con
vinced of success. The opposition was dis
organized, but when those 453 men, saw my
arm raised they recognized the man whom
they had chosen to direct their tactics.
Held Did Not Defeat Blaine.
Whitelaw Keid's candidacy had nothing to
do with Blaine's defeat. In the first place
he was not a candidate. I made up my
mind, however, some time ago to secuie his
nomination if it lay within my power.
Everyone knows my feelings toward Blaine.
Had he not written that letter to Clarkson
he would have had my support. More than
that, if he had at an early date announced
his candidacy, Harrison would not have
been a candidate. That letter, was a message
from a great leader to his followers.
It was never my disposition to sulk in my
tent. In the first place, it spoils the disposi
tion, aud then, too, tents are hot. The more
I contemplated the situation the more I
was oonvinced that there was no other can
didate with one-half Harrison's strong?
before the people. Take the whole sitij
tion now, aud with Cleveland as t
onposlng candidate Harrison is uossib

Is certainly stronger with the countrv t
he was In the last campaign. He has pro
himself really a Dig man. He was ne
lealons of his Secretaries. He never
deavored to take away one iota of crcf
that was due Blaine. Hat when von comj
savrthat some one besides Harrison car;
out all tnese great anatrs oi state, with
any suggestions or modifications from the
President, you run the thing down to a
reductio ad absordum.
Harrison bad three elements of great
strength. He was strong with the business
men. Nine-tenths of the business men of this
country favored the renomlnatton of Harri
son and I believe that the laboring men who
are dependent upon the manufacturers and
the business men felt the same way. Then,
too, he was strong in the solidity of the old
soldiers. Among these there was not a dis
senting voice. Tnere are 450,000 voting
soldiers, and this element was distrustful or
every other candidate before the conven
tion. THE VOTE ANALYZED.
Some or the Work left for Political Sharp
to lnzzle Over Conclusions of the
Thinkers Where the President Got His
Majority.
Minneapolis, June 12. Special. The
few remaining political sharps in this city
have discussed the President's nomination
in all its phases. They have done this
calmly. Some of their reflections and sev
eral incidents which occurred during the.
great battle are worth recording.
It is painful to say so, but now that the
convention has acted it is necessary to re
cord the conclusions of these thinkers, and
they are all to the effect that the conven
tion, even in its vote, did not represent the
majority sentiment of Republicans. Of
that vote Harrison received 535 1-6; neces
sary for a choice, 153. Texas swung in 22
votes, and thus made the nomination of the
President certain. Governor McKinley was
compelled to withdraw his motion at that
point to make the nomination by acclama
tion. The delegates from the remaining
States declared that they wanted their vote
tecorded.
In spite of the 'act that the President was
alreadv nominated bv the Texas vote, Vlr
glnl. Washington. "Wisconsin, Wyoming,
Arizona and the District of Columbia threw
votes in opposition to the President. This
Is considered a remarkable feature of the
proceedings.
The Republicans are dissecting tne vote of
535 1-6 elven for the President. They start
with Alabama, wnlch threw 15 votes for
Harrison, and nolnt our that Harrison lost
the Slate in 188S bv 60,121; Arkansas, which
also gave him 15 votes on Friday, was lost to
him four years ago by 27,210: California,
which gave him 8 votes and Blaine 9. was
won by him In 18S8 bv 7,087: Colorado, which
gave its solid vote of 8 against him, he car
ried in 1S88 by 13,207.
Some Other Figures for Reference. ,
Connecticut, which gavo the President
votes and McKinley 8, was lost to Harrison
in 1883 by 335; Delaware, which gave him 4
votes, he lost by 3,141; Florida, which gave

Vermont gavo Harrison its 8 votes. The
Republicans carried the State in 18SS. Wis
consin, which gave Harrison 19 of its 21
votes, was carried by the Republicans in
18SS by 21,000.
A Comparative Analysis of Totals.
To continue the analysis or the vote, the
President received 259 and a fraction votes
from States which were carried against him
1SS8, while from the Republican and doubt
ful States he carried 231 votes out of 489,
showing that 255 delegates, or a majority,
w ere opposed to his nomination. The re
mainder of the Piesident's vote is made up
from the new States whose votes have never
been recorded in a national fight.
Then again the critics point out that Har
rison received but 82 votes over the neces
sary amount for a choice, and that this is
not a startling victory when It is remem
bered that he had 136 Fedeial officeholders
as delegates to start with. To sum up it
will be observed that or the President's
vote of 535 he received J36 from Federal
officeholders and 259 from delegates In Dem
ocratic States, who were controlled by the
aforesaid Federal officeholders. Thus he
started with 335 votes of persons financially
Interested in his renomination. The re
maining 140 votes came fiom among the
great Republican and doubtful States and
from the new States.
The closeness or the vote In the Commit
tee on Credentials has escaped attention.
The delesates for Harrison were seated after
a three days' fight by a vote in the commit
tee of 24 to 23.

Lively Times Promised In the Coming Ohio
Democratic Convention.
Co'lumbub, O., June 12. Special. The
Democratic State Convention meets in this
city on Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week to nominate a State ticket and elect
four delezates at large to Chicago Conven
tion. There will be no contests for places
on the State ticket, because the prospect of
carrying Ohio on a Presidental year is not
bright, but there will be the biggest kind of
a fight over the election of the rour delegates
at large and all kiudsor slates are being made
up. No slate will go through, however, that
does not have on it Brlce and Campbell as
two or the four delegates.
The friends of Cleveland want the conven
tion to Instruct the delegates for him, but ir
this is attempted there will be a scene en
acted beside which a Donnybrook fair will
be as peaceful as a Sunday school.

BLAINE FOR SENATOR.
Calls jFrom All Over Maine for Bis Ac
ceptance They Want to Tarn Hals
Ont and Pntjhe Knight In A Sudden
Move That Grows Very Fast.
Augusta, Me., June 12. The Repub
licans of Maine refuse to allow James G.
Blaine to he shelved, and in the first
moments of their anger OTer his defeat at
Minneapolis, and in their natural feeling of
sympathy for their fallen leader, they have
begun a movement to replace him In the
Senate, whence he was taken to enter the
Cabinet of Garfield.
Yesterday, swift upon the feet of their
great disappointment, from all sections of
the State and from all classes In the narty,
with astonishing spontaneity comes a call
for the election of James G. Blaine to the
United States Senate. It is the sensation of
the day here. The amazing thing about it
Is the suddenness of the call. Blaine has
only just re-entered the State, and his Re
publican followers rally about him as the
people rallied about Monmouth when she
raised the standard of revolt. It Is Blaine
for the Senate In 1891, and Blaine for the
Presidency in 1893.
The opportunity to honor the defeated
statesman Is providentially at hand. Senator
Hale's term of offloe will expire next March,
and the Legislature to be elected this fall
will eleet his successor. Senator Hale has
served nearly two terms in the Senate, and
under the custom of the party he has no
claim upon the office. His habit of lato years
of spendlnz his winters in Washington and
his summers abroad has taken him aulte nut
of touch with the people of the State, and
his attitude in the recent contest Indiffer
ent, if not hostile, to Blaine has not added
to his popularity in Maine.
A fighting and eloquent youns lawyer
from the central portion of the State has
expressed his determination to present at
the forthcoming Republican State Conven
tion a resolution recommending to
the next Legislature the election of Blaine
to the United States Senate, and letters are
coming in to member of the Republican
State Committee urging Blaine's election.
A man in this city received to-day two tele
grams from the distant county of Aroostook
urging him to obtain Mr. Blaine's consent
to the use of his name in the Senatorial can.

LINCOLN FOR SECRETARY.
One of the Latest Additions to the List of
Possibilities Pennsylvania or New
Jersey Expected to Get the Supreme
Judgeship.
"Washington, June 12. Special A.
good fat batch of appointments by the
President will be in order soon. The most
important of the collection are, of course,
the selections for the successors of ex-Secretary
Bfaine and the late Supreme Justice
Bradley. All the gossip as to these two ap
pointments is mere guess-work. To the names
already mentioned in connection with the
Secretaryship of State is added to-day that
of Minister Robert T. Lincoln. The im
probability that Dr. Depew would consent
to take the place appears more and more
evident to the Washington public on
further consideration, especially since it
has been learned here that he himself told
somebody out West that there was nothing
in the rumor.
There Is no news about the new Justice,
except that the appointment Is expected
soon now, and the general opinion Is that
tho President will follow custom and give
the place to Pennsylvania or New Jersey.
Tnese States are worth cultivating by him

By the Convention, In the Opinion of Gover
nor McKinley, of Ohio. -
Chicago, June 12. Governor McKinloy, of
Ohio, reached Chicago at 10.45 last night.
To a reporter, who boarded the train some
miles outside of the city, Governor McKinley
spoke freely as to the situation. "Now that
the convention is over, how do you sum up
the situation?" was asked.
"The Republican party," was the reply,
"made no mistake. The nomination of
Harrison and Beid is strong from every
point or view. The convention closed In
the best spirit, and every shade of bitter
ness was effaced wMen It had adjourned."
Asked as to the bearing of the tariff and
silver Issues in the campaign, Governor Mc
Klnley's answer was short and to the paint.
Said he: "Protection, honest money and fair
elections will be safe In the hands of our
candidates, while the strong and wise and
patrlotio administration or President Harri
son will be to the ticket a power of
stiength."
"Do you think the silver issue will create
a division between the East and West?"
"None whatever. In my Judgment. It
never has, and the Republican position this
year is precisely what it has always been."
WHY M0BT0N WAS LEFT.
He Failed to Hustle in the Interest or the
President.
Washikqtoic, June 12. Special. The
speculations here in regard to the cause of
Vice President Morton's rejection by the
Minneapolis Convention have now settled
down into a general belief that Mr. Morton
was regarded as too lukewarm In the Presi
dent's interest. He Is said to have shown an
indisposition to assume the role of a prac
tical politician, and this kind or politician
is very much in request at the White House
nowadays. The President himself has cul
tivated practical politics extensively of late,
and so have all the members of his Cabinet.
It was practical politics or the finest kind
that secured his renomination.
But In all the recent maneuvers the Vice
President has taken no part. He has held
aloof lrom the midnight gatherings at the
White House, and has made no purchases or
sales over the political bargain counter. The
situation In New Tork demands hustling
hencerortb, and accordlnely Mr. Reldwas
put In to hustle. The feeling still prevails
In this city that Mr. Morton, was treated
very shabbily.

PITTSBURG. MONDAY,
ROBBERS IN ARMOR.
Complete Preparations of the Bold
Oakland Train Bandits to
MAKE THEMSELVES BULLET-PROOF
Tiro Iron and Rubber Breastplates That
Were Impenetrable
FOUND IN THEIR DISCABDED BTJGGI
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
San Fkancisco, June 12. Further de
tails gathered by detectives last night and
to-day show that the daring .daylight train
robbery in Oakland, yesterday, was care
fully planned, evidently by old hands in
the business, and every precaution taken to
assure escape with the booty.
Instead of one robber beiug on the train,
both were aboard. The fellow who hired
the buggy and hitched it at the station took
a southbound train fully an hour before the
robbery, and met his partner at the Six
teenth street station. He probably assured
him that all the means of flight were pre
pared, and then both prepared for the
robbery.
They didn't overlook the chances of being
shot at, but the articles found in their bug
gy showed they were protected by iron and
rubber armor, so that the only vulnerable
spot was the head. In the buggy, con
cealed under the cast-off clothing, were tjo
breast plates of iron sheathing, strong
enough to resist perforation by a 45-caliber
pistol. One was 14 inches long by 12
inches wide, and hammered into shape so as
to fit snugly over the left chest, clearly to
prevent shooting through the heart.
Shields for the Entire Breast.
Through two small perforations at the top
of the iron were attached two pieces of
strong brown twine, to hang around the
neck, in order to hold the plate, and two
similar pieces of twine were tastened at the
bottom, to tie around the waist. The other
breastplate was similar, with the exception
that It was larger, ana evidently, from its
shape, intended to cover the whole breast.
There was also found in the buggy a heavy
ruouer me preserver, cut in two, witn twine
attached, each section of which was in
tended to protect the abdomen from injury.
The police say no bullet could perforate It.
The lobbets, therefore, were perfectly
bullet proof In front, except In the head,
which accounts for their action in backing
out of the car with the money.
There were also found at the bottom of
the buggy six cartridges belonging to a
Smith & Wesson SS-caliber pistol. The
Jumper and overalls on the smaller robber,
and the weln-colored trousers on the larger
one, were alo found in the buggy.
At some point between Twenty
eighth street, where they were last
seen, and Tenth street, where the outfit was
lound, the robbers halted for a brier spell to
cut away their disguises. This was done
with sharp knives. The overalls weie ripped
from the waistband on both sides down the
legs and the Jumper was torn oft", as the ab
sence of buttons demonstrated. The trousers
of the big man were cut away In similar
fashion.
Prepared to Become White Men.
There were also discovered In the baggy
half a lemon, to which adhered particles of
either coal dust or lampblack, showing that
not even the precaution of having means to
speedily remove the black on the
face was overlooked. Of course it
was important for the lobbers
to pack away the money with them, and it is
not likely they would attract attention by
carrying It off in a basket. A bag of $14,000
in gold or ot $1,000 In silver is no easy matter
to cany or transport any distance, and the
police are of opinion that the coin had been
cached or located In a house of tbelr
confederates. The silver weizhodlOO pounds,
and made a large package. Hundreds
of men and childien have been engaged all
day searching back lots between Tenth and
Twenty-eighth stieets, in hopes of finding
some of the treasure.
The police think the short man, whose face
was blackened, is some discharged work
man or the Judson works, who knew all
about the transfer or the money and is also
familiar with Oakland. The tall man. who
made no effort to conceal his lace, they
think is some export criminal who bossed
the Job and gave the little man all his In
structions. One of the men was evidently wounded by
a bullet, as blood stains mark the clothing
found in the buggy. The robbers were cun
ning to select a day when a picnic party was
aboard, as passengers in the other cars de
clared that they paid little attention to the
shooting, regarding it as a row between
drunken picnickers. Even the sight of two
men with hags caused no surprise, as the as
sumption was they had been thrown off the
train because they were disorderly, a very
common occurence when a crowd is tough
and a fight occurs.
PUZZLES ALL THE DOCTORS.
A Woman Who Is Gradually Losing All
Semblance to a Human Being.
New York, June 12. Annie Hanson, a
young woman, is lying at the Monteflore
House for Chronic Invalids suffering from
a peculiar disease with which the doctor
have never before met. They call it acro
megaly. Owing to a disease of tne woman's
blood, which indirectly acts on her bones,
she is growing in the most abnormal shape
and should she live long she will lose all
semblance to a human being. Her hands
are nbout three times the size of an average
man's In many of the measurements, par
ticularly the finger ends. Measuring around
the hand as for a glove the size given by the
tape line is 10 Inches.
Around the forehead she measures 24
inches; from the forehead to the chin the
measurement is 9J inches. The Jaw bone
seems to have outgrown other focal bones,
and has the appearance of a great weight
dragging down tne face. The nose measures
about three inches, and has widened in pro
portion. The ears are alsogreatly increased
in size and measure in length about four
Inches. They protrude in like manner.
The doctors are baffled. They are treat
ing her for ,blood disease, but the malady
progresses. She has been at the home three
years and has every prospect or remaining
there.

Cabfer, Wto., June 12. The largest and
most enthusiastic mass meeting ever held in
Central Wyoming was held here last night
to take steps to restore law and order. The
resolutions passed were dignified and to the
point. Among them was the following:
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent
to Hon. Dan Voorhees, Senator from Indiana: to
Hon. C. W. Stone, of Pennsylvania, and to Hon.
Jerrv Simpson, of Knnsas, with a request that they
ask Congress to Inquire Into the contempt and dis
regard of general law in this State ofWyomlng; by
what warrant or authority or law State prisoners are
held by Federal troops, and to ask lor all corres
pondence between the Governor of Wyoming and
the War Department In regard to calling out Fed
eral troops to suppress a staie auair wnen ma
State had competent uillltla, and the promiscuous
Issalng of Deputy United States Marshals' com
missions. Hon. Joel J. Hurt, the largest sheep raiser
and taxpayer In Central Wyoming, was
Chairman or the meeting. A resolution was
passed asking nil the towns in the State to
adopt resolutions to be forwarded to the
Congressmen pained. The bringing of the
United states troops Into the State without
warning and the misunderstanding about
martial law, are stagnating business and
paralyzing immigration.

ARMED HOSTS IN OKLAHOMA.
A Lynching Precipitates a Baee War Ex
cited Negroes, Shotgun In Hand, Gather
ing in Guthrie The Authorities Disarm
ing Them The Situation Serious.
Guthrie, Okla., June 12. There was great
excitement in this city to-night, caused by
two criminal assaults by negroes npon white
women to-day. A negro lad named Holley
assaulted Mrs. Charles Moore. He was ar
rested and a mob surrounded the Jail,
threatening to lvnch him. The negroes
of the town claimed that Holley was
innocent, although he had confessed
his guilt to the Sheriff, and a race
war seemed Imminent for a time.
There was much angry talk, "Judge" Per
kins, a negro lawyer, being spokesman for
the colored men. During the excitement ne
said, "Let the whites harm that man, and
the town will be In ashes before morning."
The Sheriff smuggled the prisoner from Jail
and took him to Wichita, Kan., for safe
keeping.
The scond outrage was that made upon
the wife of James Genjen, the engineer or
the electric plant, by an unknown negro
who escaped. A posse Is on his trail ana
will lynch him If they capture him.
There now seems to be considerable doubt
as to the removal of Holley from the Jail.
The negroes say that the statement was cir
culated by the whites so the negroes
would disperse and give the whites a
free field for a lynching. A great
mob of negroes now surrounds 'the Jail, and
more are arriving every minute. The
negroes have sent couriers to Langston
City, the negro colony ten miles distant,
with the report that the whites aro about to
lynch an innocent negro, and many negroes
are flocking here, determined to protect the
ooject of the white men's vengeance.
Sheriff Hlxson and Chief of Police Kelley
are disarming the negroes. As many as 50
old shotguns and rifles have been taken, as
well as a number or small firearms. These
weapons were taken from three colored men
who have Just arrived from Tohee, 17 miles
distant. Colonel H. P. Clarke, commander
of the territorial militia, is in the city.
He reported to Acting Governor Martin for
duty, but the situation does not now seem
serious enough to warrant the calling of
troops. Gangs of excited people meet on
the street corners. All congregations of
negroes are being ordered to disperse. The
police and deputies are kept busy moving
negroes.
Midnight Information is that the negro who
outraged Mrs. Genjin was overtaken by the
posse at 9 o'clock to-night, six miles south of
town, and was shot to death. This news
has greatly intensified the excitement, and
negroes are threatening violence. The
officers have been aware of the lynching for
some hours, and began disarming the
negroes before It became generally known.
LEVEES UNDER WATER. '
The Mississippi Still Raging at New Orleans
More and More Trouble to Commerce
Every Lay Landings All in Bad
Shape.
New Orleans, JunelZ Special The
Mississippi, which reashed its maximum
between Natchez and the gulf, is now higher
than the levee at several points. On Bayou
La Fourchee and the Mississippi below
New Orleans, the water was from one-half
inch to i inches over the tops of the levee,
flowing over them and washing them badly,
and causing a crevasse yesterday at Story's
plantation, immediately below New Orleans,
which Is likely to be troublesome and dam
aging. At New Orleans the high water is proving
more and more troublesome to the com
merce of the city, covering as It does the
principal rjhaxve9. All the steamboat
.rhn,r.y,M fiu'u Canal rtroet to Girard ute
covered with water, and steamboats are un
able to land. What Is known as the fruit
landing, extending from Calliope to Thalia
street, is partly In the water and with a rise
of one or two inches more will be rendered
almost useless for business.
From Terpsichore street up the wharves
are more or less covered with water, and the
West India and Pacific steamship landing,
at the head of Celeste street, is in bad con
dition. The long wharr reaching from Fe
licity to Jackson street Is more or loss cov
ered with water, and vessels located there
find it difficult to load. The Gretna ferry
house, at the head of Jackson street. Is com
pletely inundated and raised walks have
been placed through the ferryhouse for
passage to and from the ferryboat.
The police station Just above Jackson
street is surrounded by water on all sides,
and two ships lying Just above are unable to
load any cargo, as the wharf fronting them
Is completely submereed. From First to
Sixth streets the wharves are completely
covered with water, while at Seventh and
Eighth it is gradually creeping up. The
lower part of the elevator, together with
wharf and office, are covered with water.
Tho lower end of the steamboat landing
and part of tho Cromwell Line steamship
wharf are submerged, and the Second dis
trict ferry is unable to take over vehicles
any longer, by reason of the rising river.
The wharves in the Second and Third dis
tricts are also Buffering from the same
cause.

A Fainting Aet Falls to Have the Desired

New York, June 12. When Mr. and Mrs.
narris Goldberg learned in Judge McAdam's
court that they could not recover their 13-year-old
daughter, Lillie, from the Anti
Cruelty Society on simple habeas
corpus proceedings, but mnst proceed
regularly by writ of certiorari, there was a
dramatic scene. At first Mrs. Goldberg
made a rush for Agent Stocking, giabbed
him and began to scream and scratch. Mr.
Stocking released himself and made a dash
for the corridor, followed by the woman.
She ran a few steps, when, with a scream,
she dropped to the floor and began to kick
and moan.
The woman was in a fair way or being re
vived when her husband looked at her, and,
giving a loud yell, ho also dropped to the
floor and kicked and moaned. A shower
bath of Ice water spoiled the sham faint of
both husband and wife.

Disturbances in Two Districts That Are
Beyond Endurance.
A MANDARIN COXMRNED IN ONE RIOT
rSPECIAI. TXX.XOBAM TO TOTC DtSPATCn.
San Feancisco, June 12. The steamer
Gaelic has brought Shanghai letters and
papers, giving the first details of renewed
outrages on European missionaries in China.
This time disturbances have broken out in
Fukien, a province of Eastern China, and
in Szechuan, the extreme western province,
adjoining Hnnan, which is notorious for
anti-foreigners and a mutinons spirit to the
Government.
Details of the trouble at Fukien come
from two cities Chinwha and Kiennlug.
On April 27, a house occupied by mission
aries of the Church of England Church So
ciety in Chingho City was attacked by, a
mob assembled by the leading military men
in the place. After being exposed to in-"
suits of the mob for three hoars, the ladies,
Miss Johnson and Miss B. Newcomb, were
rescued by a mandarin and taken in chairs
to Yamen. The house was not a quarter of
a mile from Yamen, and the mandarin had
to be summoned three times before he took
any notice of the matter, and finally only
came after a cry been raised that one of the
ladles had been killed by the mob. The
Emperor's proclamation, which was hang
ing in front of the house, was broken to
pieces and burned bv the mob, who subse
quently wrecked the house.
The Ladies Forced to Lenve Town.
The mandarin at first promised the ladies
protection until they could communicate
with their friends, but on the following day
so fierce a crowd gathered in front of the
Yamen that he Insisted on the ladles leaving
town as quickly as possible. Evidence Is
not wanting that points to complicity of the
mandarin in the riot. The ladles almost
miraculously escaped without serious bod
ily harm. Had it not been lor the bravery
and devotion of a teacher, Mr. Siek, who
summoned the mandarin, they would have
fared much worse.
On May 11 a little mission hospital and
dispensary in Krennlng City was attacked
and completely wrecked by a mob of hired
ruffians in the pay or a ieadlne literary man
of that city, Chlo Chle Puoi. Dr. Bigg, who
was on the premises, narrowly escaped a
horrible death. The patients, students and
others in the building escaped by a back
door, Dr. Rlgg being the last to leave, re
maining until he was drazged out bv one of
four soldiers sent by the local mandarin to
protect the place Escaping through the
garden the doctor was compelled to climb
two fences amid a shower of bricks, stones
and heavy lumps of wood. In the road the
mob seized him, threw him down repeatedly,
and strnce htm with their fists, and, on
roacning some large vats tor liquid mannre,
attempted to throw their victim Into one.
The Plucky Doctor Gets Away.
Happily the Dootor's grasp of one of his
assailants was so firm It was found impos
sible to throw him In alone, and tbey de
sisted for a moment, when, by desperate
struggles, he got upon bis feet and regained
the road. The cowards still pursued him,
taking his watch and chain and tearing his
clothes off his back in hope of finding
money.
One brave native Christian who stood br

meeting on the road former patient.. who,
seeing that he had no bat or umbrella, lent
him his own, and finding on Inquiry that he
bad no money, rave him some cash to get
his breakfast, an act eloqnent of the true
feeling of the poor natives, among whom
Dr. Biggs has worked so patiently for at
least three years.
After wrecking the hospital the mob par
tially destroyed the houses of four other
men connected with the institution, and
stole the clothes and tools of 17 workmen
who were engaged on building a new hos
pital. At the time of writing Dr. Bigr,
although severely bruised and shaken, is
slowly recovering. All the native students
have also come Into Nangwa nnburt, though
with the loss of everything they possessed.
Some had hairbreadth escapes from the
mob.
Christians Saved From the Mob.
Dr. Bigg rejoices In having been able to
draw off the mob from the Christians, who
would otherwise nave been severely dealt
with. The teacher, Slek, whose bravery
saved two ladies at Chingho, Is In Imminent
danger. Not long ago he professed Christ
ianity boldlv and openly, and now he and
all others who have been teaching foreigners
the language have been summoned to
Kiennlng City to stand their trial before the
literary men. If treaty rights afford protec
tion to those who are in the employ of for
eigners, every effort will be made to save his
lifo and that of the only other Christian
among them.
It is now known that before undertaking
the riot at Chingho the bead man of the
Literati traveled to Kiennlng and asked the
advice of Cbio as to whether he should raise
a riot, and received assurance of support
and promise that the destruction or the
house In Chingho should be followed by the
pulling down of the hospital at Kiennlng.
Mere compensation in money is not
enough to make such a man as Chlo Chle
Pool feel the results of his action. The only
thing which would be really erxectnnt would
be to deprive him of his degree.
New Demonstrations at Szechuan.
A fresh anti-missionary demonstration is
reported from Szechuan. Large quantities
of literature of the same stamp as the fa
mous Hunan publications are being offered
for sale, with the object of stirring up the
people against missionaries. At Shunching
a few more aggressive measures have been
taken. There, after attempts to boycott
missionaries, the roofs were removed from
their houses, and as they apparently did not
take this as a hint to quit they were carried
outside the city. The movement is said to
have been inspired by the Viceroy, and has
the support of the gentry of the district.
A Chun King correspondent says: Bather
startling news has come to us from a friend
who has been traveling in the region of the
famous salt wells In the interior of the
province. He writes that 80 miles from the
wells he met a gang of ten men selling anti
foreign books and preaching a orusade
against foreign things. They claimed to be
under the Viceroy's protection. They did a
good trade and abused the foreigners
roundly. The reports are spreading and
may bring trouble any time.

The English Growing Anxlons About the
situation in Uganda.
London, June 13. The British East Africa
Company has sent orders to Captain Lugard
to abandon Uganda. It is believed that all
of Captain Lugard's dispatches have been
intercepted by an anti-English party block
ing the route fiom Uganda to the coast.
The Times, commenting on the situation in
Uganda, says:
"The British Government ought to step
in to save our position in Uganda. Such it
question is beyond the sphere of party po
litics. The whole country would support the
Government and the cost would be trifling.
It is not easy to decide whether the company
charter compels them to maintain their
position In Uganda. Tney declare that their
iunds are exhausted and that they have
failed to get an increase of capital. The
Government three years ago promised to
empower them to levy taxes, but the prom
ise has not been fulfilled. This point must
be left to the Government and the company,
but it is terrible to contemplate what will
happen if Captain Lugard's force is with
drawn. We will probably have another
Khartoum added to our history. Besides
this, France and Belgium are both laying
Jealous eyes on this region."

Titxjsville, June 12. The day hasbeea
a scorcher, and the noisome vapors gener
ated from the garbage in parts of the city
not as yet reached by Superintendent Bouaa
and his men have been extremely obnoz
ious to the olfactories of the thousands of
sightseers who have thronged the devas
tated district from early dawn.
At a point only a few steps distant from
the spot where the fated Bingheimer resi
dence stood, a visitor to-day, while prod
ding in the soft earth with a stick, upturned
a mass of maggots. Further delving;
brought to the surface the half-decomposed,
body of a dog. The stench was horrible.
Many other instances of a like character are)
reported.
This condition of things exists within ft
block and a half of Spring street,-the busi
ness thoroughfare of the city. In the opin
ion of many, the work of cleaning up such
dangerous places should not have been al
lowed to cease, even if to-day was Sunday.
The necessity in this direction is great and
grows more so each day.
Far Worse Than a Circus Day.
The announcement was made Saturday .'
that several large excursion trains would be
run to this city from Buffalo, Dunkirk,
Warren, Oil City and manv other places to
day. Mayor Emerson, at the suggestion of
a number of leading citizens, wired Super
intendent Fisher and Eetcham, of the W.N.
Y. & P. and D., A. V. &. P. , asking that noth
ing of the kind be done. These officials at
once issued orders that no excursion tickets
be sold. This was a wise move, as our peo
ple are all tired out, and the confusion inci
dent to an influx of miscellaneous sight
seers would only hinder and worry tho
various committees, , workmen and soldiers
and deprive them of the rest which had
been planned for them. The regular trains
over both roads, however, were loaded to
the very coach steps with people living
along the Hues who paid full fare to gain a
sight of the great devastation.
It was simply wonderful to see the loads
of country people filing into the town in all
sorts of vehicles. Circus day was nowhere,
and, as for the processions seen during fair
time, yesterday's double discounted It. Moss
of these people came early, brought their
dinners and remained until nightfall, seem- ,
ing to never tire of viewing with open
eyed astonishment the wreck on whiob,
they gazed. And well they might be par

strict orders regarding what to do if they
canzht anyone attempting work of that
character. Now comes news that certain of
the sufferers are being robbed in a some
what more genteel and polite way, but
robbed, Just the same. I refer to the extor- i
tionate rents being asked by some of tho
landlords ltb dwellings to let. Ononisn,,
Informed me yesterday that he ba& resteti-a
bouse at S12 per month, and that all tho
owner pretended to ask for it prior to Sun
day last was $8. I at once investigated and
fotinu the man's statement to be correct.
The same owner has two other small one
story houses for which he asks $7 SO. They
are worth about $5, and that is high. Other
cases of a like character are reported. -
The various committees have their de
partments now under a complete system,
and the work runs on with the clock-like
regularity of a bank. Several cases of fraud
have been discovered in the matter of ap
pllcatloas for aid. Now that the roads are
getting in shape, various consignments of
goods delayed are looked for.
Towns That Have Sent In Aid.
Buffalo, Harrisburg, Meadville, Washing,
ton. Fa., Warren, Smethport, YoungsviUe,
Bradford, Conneautvllle, Darby, N. Y., East
Orange, N. Y and Allegheny are the only
places from which, so for, good3 have been
received, and those consignments were each
from private sources. There are hundreds '
or unfortunates here who have lost tbelr
all. Tney have no homes, no furniture, no
clothlng.no food, nothing save that which
Is given them. The good people here are
doing all they can. They are giving their
time, means, and in some cases their health,
to succor and care for these flood and lira
victims. They want help, they want it
greatlv, and they want it soon.
The following is given out officially to the
public:
The prompt and generous assistance zlven to on I '
afflicted cltfzens In tbelr recent calamity by the
people In all parts of the coantrr Is most gratefully
appreclst-d by the sufferers and all residents of
Tltiisvllle. It Is due to the public that we make a
statement of our condition as exactly and accur
ately as Is possible. Six days after the calamity
we have our Keller Committee thoroughly organ,
lzed. and the distribution or food, clothing, bed
ding and othersupplies Is progressing with system.
Perfect order preralls.
Large forces of laborers are employed In remov
ing wrecks from the streets and In clearing up tha
rains or houses. Fifty-nine bodies have been
burled. Several persons are still missing.
We do not need clothing, food or other supplies.
Our need will be for money to relieve those who
have lost by Are and floods, and to repair the
enormous destruction of property. The district
devastated by lire and flood extends through tbs
entire length of the city for about one mile and a
half. Its breadth Is from one-eighth to one-fourth
of a mile.
The Pecuniary Loss Sustained.
The estimated loss of property exceeds tl.COC, 000.
The losses fall chiefly upon the poor and the labor- ,
lug people. Within the bounds named were mora
than ISO dwellings, as well as many shops, factories
and oil refineries where laborers were employed.
Th- ins nf nronal nronertv In the homes of the
people was almost total, while very many lost not
onlr tbelr houses and contents, but the ground on
which they stood, ine streets are manyoiuiera
destroyed, and the loss In this particular and la
bridges Is very large.
Everything possible Is being done to alleviate
distress, ana our people are recovering hope and
spirit.

The cash in the hands of Treasurer Hoag,
of tbe Commercial Hank, Saturday night,
was 535,557 06, and the amount subscribed,
outside or tbe $13,000 from tbe Standard Oil
Company, of which this city gets 65 per cent, ,
113.4.3 06.
One of the notable events during there
cent inundation was the complete oblitera
tion and entire removal or tbe engine house,
derrick, bank and bull wheels and all elsa
that marked the spot where the old Drake
w ell, the first ever drilled for petroleum,
was located. Tbe hole is still there, and tba
proposition so often made to ereot a fitting
monument to the memory of the first "wild
catter," Colonel Drake, should now be car
ried out near the spot, or the hole itself will
soon disappear.
The Situation at Oil City.
A special telegram to Tra DisrAToa from
Oil City says: The finding and identification
of tbe body of William White as the fifty,
fourth victim of the flood and lire Is be
lieved to complete the list of the dead for
Oil City, as nobody is now known to be miss
ing. William Gillespie, an aged resident of
the flooded district whose recovery was not
expected at the time of the flood, died to-
nignt. ins uome was uurneu, out just Be
fore the fire came he was removed to
neighboring residence, from which he was
rescued after the Are.
The taking or testimony as to the cause of-'
the Are will begin to-morrow. IC!sxpect
ed to last several days, as a perfeet mass of
witnesses will be called, and interesting tes
timony will tell anew the great history of
flood and fire. Meanwhile there is little to
be done except to clear away the old wreck
age and rebuild, if possible, better than
ever. This work is now going on rapidly.
Another Tltnsvllle dispatch says: But lit.
tie oan be learned of the intentions or tha
oil men who owned the many refineries, that
were dismantled and mined. All or these
were Independents and can hardly stand a
loss that the Standard Oil Company only
laughs at. TO manv Of the nrndneaea 4
