that Conn desired to aid In the escape of the Stevens county member of the gang. Lnrrabee then rodo back to Arkalon. Jlo ir: a da the trio of 110 miles in less than eleven boors, rested four hoari, and then started out aeain. (iovernor Humphrey to-day made inquiries as to th reason wbj tbo court at fcpringiield had not been opened. Jndge llotkin bad given notice that be would open court yesterday, and again to-day. The result is one company isnow at Springfield awaiting the pleasure of Judge 15 otic in. m the meantime aiding the deputy eherifis iu making arrests of the men engaged in tne battle. For these over thirty "warrants hare been Issued. These arrssts are but the beginning of another trouble not anticipated. All the warrants were made returnable to the justice of the peace at this place. The men are to be brought here as fast as they are arrested and confined, awaiting the nleaaure of the county attorney. It has been alleged that if their preliminary examinations were held in Springfield the prisoners would all be released, therefore they are all brought to Arkalon. The jail is at teprinztieid. bo the prisoners are held in a vacant store-room in which - the troops are barracked. Two more prisoners. C. 8. Anderson and J, J. Leach, were brought in this afternoon.' and one boy, Kobinson. was released. 'There are now rive men held under guard, and the prospects are that no examination will be held until some twenty of the leading members of the supposed organization have been arrested, at least sucn is the wish of the county attorney. ' ATTEMPTED ItESCUE FEARED. As one of to-day's prisoners is the chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, and is also a leading Alliance man, and all the prisoners so far belong to the Alliance, grave fears are felt by Adjutant-general Koberts and the people here that a rescue will be attempted. An attack by thirty or forty well-armed, determined men could result only one way the release of the prisoners and possibly bloodshed. The situation is beginning to be alarming. If Judge ltotkin had opened his court when he should have done so, part of the force at fcpringiield could have been relieved and sent here to reinforce the prison guards. It. is evident that some one is committing a serious blunder that may have a disastrous ending. It isnow certain that arrests will be peaceably made whenever the man wanted can be found, for the presence of a soldier is a great persuader. ho far the prisoners are nraetlcally unprovided with bedding, although the nights are severely cold, and it will soon be impossible for the town to feed them, so they must bo kept alive on the rations issued to the troops. Colonel Koberts hss sent word to Springfield that he will receive no more prisoners if they are not provided with bedding when sent here. This order has been drawn out by a very apparent necessity, lie is considering the advisability of order- . ing another company from the eastern or central part of the State, so as to have sufficient protection in case of an attack, lie will probably do so to-morrow, as he has the anthority of the Governor. It was necessary to-day to get out of the county the two detectives who, as members of the Alliance, became members of this vigilance organization that killed v Dunn. The:r lives are worth but little, as they cave the information that led to the wholesale issuing of warrants of arrest. I5y morning both will be in places of safety. At Springfield all is quiet, although the contest case is now going on to determine the tight lor sheriff. The Alliance candidate was counted in by a majority of thirteen, but frauds in counting the votes in this (Seward) coanty are not new things, and the recounting shows that false returns were made from one township sufficient to change the actual result. Guyman, the sherifi-elect, and who escaped when Dunn was killed, went over to-day, and the probabilities are that he will qualify, although Alliance members and the People's party have declared that he would never live until the 12th, the day he should go into ofHce. Having protection he probably will at least enter upon the discharge of his duties, though how long he will last is a problem that no insurance company would be found willing to place a risk upon. Whatever the outcome, and the end will be reached this week, new fuel will be added to the flames now smoldering. Another and new f eatnro has been added. Vrm. V. Dunn, the seventeen-year-old son of Dune, who looks twenty-one, will return here on Saturday after his father's burial for the purpose of settling up matters, as he says, with a quiet but dangerous look in his eyes. The sir men who escaped at the Canon battle have openly declared that they will hunt to the death every man concerned in the disgraceful affair. and young Dunn has joined them. They feel bitterly the murder, and this feeling is intensified by the knowledge that the body of the murdered she rill' was robbed of arms, 'watch, jiwelry and money, proving that outlaws in fact must be dealt with. Then, too, there is the feeling that following the "Wood murder precedent the guilty parties would eventually escape unless summary justice is administered. The friends of J udge Botkin fe&r a rescne party. The friends of the prisoners now held and to be taken fear the speedy and fatal action of Judge Botkin's friends. There seems to be cause for fears on both ides, and this is the real situation. More Troop Ordered Oat. WicniTA, Kan., Jan. 7. Gen. Murray Myers received a telegram from Governor ' Humphrey to-night ordering him to proceed with the force nnderhis commondto Arkalont once and place himself under the orders of Adjutant-general Koberts. All the deputy United States marshals in Kansas and in the Indian Territory are centering towards Arkalon. Governor Humphrey added that he considered the situation at Arkalon moat serious.

WALES AND LADY E200KE
Tranbjcroft Scandal Revived by the Circulation of a Tjpe-Written Pamphlet. Its Origin Attributed to Lady Beresford Alleged Visits of the Prince to the Reigning Beauty Tbt Situation in Kusila. A IU:CE-T SCANDAL REOPENED. Hystericus Pamphlet Concerning the Prince of Wales and Lady Brooke. United Press Fectal Cable Dispatch. London, Jan. 7. It was announced recently that a mysterious type-written pamphlet, of which oily fiftyseven copies bad been issued, was being circulated in high circles. It was added that the pamphlet referred to attacked the Prince of Wales. Lady lirooke and others, and that tho Duchess of Manchester, at a luncheon party, had read it aloud to her guests. The result of the appearance of this pamphlet was a series of conferences between the Prince of Wales. Lord Salisbury and Lord Charles Beresford, "Fighting Charlie," of Condor fame, the gallant aailor who ran his gun-boat with great effect under the forts at Alexandria and earned the "Well done. Condor" signal from Admiral Seymour. The following appears to be the faets in the case: Lady Beresford, tho wife of Lord Charles Beresford, seems to have become jealous of the favor with which Lord and Lady Brooke were received at Marlbprough House, the town residence of the Prince of. Wales, and she is said to have prepared and circulated the pamphlet in question, whtch is said to contain the private correspondence which had passed between herself and Lady Brooke before and during the baccarat trial. There is also, it issaid.an addenda which discloses thedegree of friendship existing between Lord and Lady Brooke and the Prince of Wales, showing in a new light certain features of the baccarat srit and proving that Sir William Gordon Jumming was loyal to the Prince of Wales and so maintained silence upon certain points in connection therewith. The pamphlet is a small one in every sense. It claims to point out various instances where the couple (the Prinee and Lady Brooke) ware together, including a certain meeting at the Doncaster Hotel, where they are said to have met incognito directly after the bscoarat scandals at the Wilson residence at Tranbycrof t, near Doncaster. It was upon this occasion, according to the pamphlet, when the Prince of Wales informed Lady Brooke of the facts Regarding the card scandal, which the lat ter is said to have subsequently talked about sufficiently for them to become public property. It was this publicity given to the at! air, it will be remembered, which led to the suits which were brought by Sir William Gordon Cumming against the Wilsons and others, in which the latter were non-suited. The mysterious pamphlet is also said to contain copies of letters written by Lady Brooke, admitting many faots in connection with her friendship for the Prince of Wales, and boasting of it to her quondam friend, Lady Beresford. In one letter Lady Brooke is quoted as speaking of the Prince of Wales visiting her town house, and Lady Beresford is alleged to add that from facts' afterward developed it was learned that the Prince was in the habit of driving in a carriage, without crests or other marks by which it could be known; that he was accustomed to stop at Grosvenor square, and to alight there and walk up Brook street. Continuing; the pamphlet adds that when the Prince approached the stairs of the residence the door was silently and quickly opened, and the Prince would enter the building. Another allegation of the pamphlet is that Lady Brooke's housekeeper recently left that lady's employ in order to get married to a school-master, and that Lady Brooke loaded her with fabulous presents in order to retain hor silence. Copies of this pamphlet are said to have been forwarded to the Princess of Wales, to Lord Salisbury, to the Prince of Wales and to other princes of the royal family. It is added that the Princess of Wales is indignant at the whole affair, andthat she has caused Lady Beresford to be informed that she will no longer be received at Marlborough House. Lord Charles Beresford is alleged to have been very angry when these facts were communicated to him. He is supposed to have had them telegraphed to him at alouica, where he was with his ship. her Majesty's steamer Undaunted, twelve guns, 8, C00 tons, one of the armored vessels of the Mediterranean squadron. Lord Charles, upon receipt of the news, is said to have obtained leave of absence, and to bare hurried home to London. Upon his arrival in this city Lord Charles Beresford, according to the story, had a stormy interview with Lord .Salisbury and threatened that, unless his wife was restored to favor at Marlborough House, he would reveal all he knew about the affair and create a scandal of an extent unknown since the time of George IV. At first Lord Salisbury appears to have refused to have anything to do with the matter, but finally, according to the story, he consented to act as mediator between the Beresfords and the Prince of Wales. Lord Salisbury, it would seem, did not consent to adopt this course nntil Lord Beresford had threatened to sue Lady Brooke for slander. The Prince of Wales, the story also has it, was visiting Luton when he received a copy of the mysterious pamphlet. The Prince is said to have sent for Lord Beresford, who is an old and intimate friend of the heir apparent When the two met there is said to have been some round cursing indnlged in. but their quarrel was, apparently, soon patched up. Lord Beresford, it is alleged, agreeing to shift the blame upon Mrs. Gerard Paget, his wife's sister, who, the story says, bad access to ths letters published in the pamphlet and betrayed tho confidence placed in her. All the pamphlets are said to have been called in. with the exception of one, which came into the possession of Miss Yznega, Bister of the Duchess of Manchester (formerly Miss Yznega del Valle, of New York.), This, the type-written copy, is said to have been retained aud sent to the United States. Jb inally. the parties interested are said to be moving "heaven and earth" to suppress the whole matter, and the friends of Sir William Gordon Cumming are, it is also stated, not at all displeased with the revelations the pamphlet is supposed to have made. LOOPHOLE IN THE CENSORSHIP. A Russian Newspaper Permitted to Tell Something Abont the Famine. London, Jan.?. Such alarming accounts of the famine in Russia are published by the Russian Monthly European Messenger that the utmost curiosity Is expressed that tho publication has succeeded in evading the press censorship. In the issue of the Messenger referred to a comparison is instituted between the present famine in Russia and that which afilicted Ireland in 18C6. The measures adopted by the British authorities and those of Russia to mitigate the suilerings of their respective peoples are also discussed. The Messenger says: "Nobody in Russia ever imagined that the economic condition was so wretched. Now that the true state of affairs is revealed only a madman would plunge the country into war or foreign complications for years to come." The article continues by ridiculing tho published accounts of tho oppression of the Slavs by the imperial government and vigorously asserting that they are in a far better condition than are tho peasants of Russia. Reverting to the charges of frauds preferred by Germans and Jews, the Messenger denounces them as malicious tales, utterly without foundation in truth. The Standard publishes a St. Petersburg dispatch which says that the Russian Minister of the Interior lias been made the scape-goat for otlicial blundering inconnection with famine relief measures, and that he will probably be dismissed. Notwithstanding the faet that the recent lottery for the relief of the famine sufferers was a failure, tickets for four similar enterprises are being printed by the government printera. At Moscow the mershanta are compUmlnrr thai the tzo.CQQ netted from the
out of their pockets twice. The goods, it
appears, were largely furnished by mem fit the solicitation of the Grand Dnchess: then the bazaar sales ruined the donors' Christmas trade to such an extent that a number of failures are feared. The Czar has displayed extreme anger upon learning of the adulteration of the food intended for the starving peasants, it is resorted that the principal municipal authorities Are to be dismissed in consequence of these disclosures. Three agents at Odessa have been arrested for having sold adulterated gram. TIIK SITUATION REVIEWED. In an interview on the famine with an eminent Russian official, one of the most remarkable men in the empire, he said, after pledging the correspondent to secrecy regarding his name. "The present , famine is not a bolt from the blue, a single phenomenon that has come suddenly, and will as suddenly depart It is tho natural consequence of thirty years' bad management, and will become chronic. If it had not occurred this year it would have occurred some other year. It is an inevitable result of a series of causes. The peasants may be relieved; we may buy corn for them and feed them, but how are we to give them back their borsas and cattle? They have already killed half of thorn. This is one consideration; there is still another. These sixteen or seventeen provinces which are now suffering from want are not the only ones which will be in need of help next spring. Fifty, not sixteen, provinces will be in a state of starvation then. Those governments wbioh have had good harvests are not the self-supporting ones. They have generally to import corn in the winter and early spring for themselves. This year their state is much worse, seeing that they have exported all the corn they could spare to the famine-stricken districts. What their condition will be in the spring you may imagine. The state of the peasantry is extremely unsatisfactory. Ihey are at once apathetio and desperate. They are prostrate in the face of the terrible calamity that has befallen them. But their apathy cannot last. Risings may be expected. "The peasants believe it to be the Czar's duty to feed them. I have heard them talk as lollows: The Czar must feed us. and if he does not we must choose another What is society to do in the face of such a feeling? The little influence and energy which our society possesses the government endeavors to take from it There are only two forces wnich keep the state together the church and the army and the present regime has made for itself enemies in both not small. insianiGcant enemies, but powerful and instrumental ones. 1 will not mention names for fear of drawing attention to them, but I think it is very probable that soldiers and their comrades, if called from the Polish frontiers to shoot down their starving fathers and brothers, would be likely to obey their orders, but if the Polish frontier should be denuded of troops and the country be generally disturbed, I cannot conceive that Austria and Germany would look on Quietly and not make an effort to render harmless for a time the power which they have learned to regard as their greatest and most dangerous foe. "We bave made enemies, not only amongt our neighbois. but in our own house. The inhabitants of the Baltio provinces, once our most loyal subjects, are now our enemies. We have not only a German question there; we are creating an Esthonlan, a Lithunian. a Lettish a number of questions, Finland we have also scored up against us. Bat not content with these achievements, we are now elaborating a Tartar and an Armenian question. Of ,Poland I need not speak. You have heard 'now1 the peasantry regard the Czar. They have no notion of legitimacy, one Czar is as good as another. They obey the institution; they don't understand the legtimacyofth succession. As it happens the present government has had the misfortune to mate an enemy who may become very useful in the hands of agitators. 1 mean young Grand Dnke Michael Miehaelovitch. He is very popular. "We are living in terrible times. Our society is sunk in materialism, and cares for nothing but self-enjoyment, and the peasant has ceased to be the thoughtless Czar-worshiper of the past Besides, there appears to be a party at the head of affairs which is composed of Nihilists in disguise. They are Nihilists, only they have altered their methods, and they are leading the country to ruin and disaster in the most loyal fashion in the world. I regard this famine as a blessing in disguise; it may rouse ns and show ns the pitfalls toward whioh we are going." It would cause great surprise were tbe name of this gentleman known to the public His official views and his private opinions, however, are so conflicting with those of the authorities that he would run great risks if his identity were revealed to tbe government TOBACCO MONOPOLY CANCELED. Persian Priests Win in Their Fight Against a Corporation Established by the Shalt. Teheran, Jan. 7. The agitation started by the priests against the tobacco regie resulted in the government withdrawing from the company holding the concession the right to establish a tobacco monopoly in Persia. To compensate the company for the loss thus sustained the government agreed to pay the company a certain sum of money and to give it ft monopoly of the export tobacco trade. This did not meet with the approval of the priests, and they therefore continued the interdict they bad' previously laid against the use of tobacco which bad looked to the abolition of the tobacco regie. The feeling against the monopoly grew so strong that on Sunday, Jan. 3. a mob assembled at the Shah's palace, and not only demanded the abolition of the export monopoly, but clamored for tho expulsion from the country of the members of the tobacco corporation. The mob became riotous, and all efforts to pacify it were unavailing. It was finally found necessary to call upon the military to disperse the rioters. This added fuel to the (lames of popular discontent, and tho mob resisted tbe soldiery. In tbo fighting that followed several persons were killed. The government rinding that the popular agitation was increasing decided to change its policy, and to-day a decree was issued canceling the monopoly given to tho company to export tobacco. Bulgaria's How trlth Franoe. Paris, Jan. 7. it is declared in official circles here that all the powers approve of the attitude of M. Ribot, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in regard to the matter of the expulsion of M. Chadouine from Bulgaria. The French government, it is said, in its demands on the Bulgarian government merely desired to insure respect for the stipulations and to prevent a recurrence of the affair. Tho dispute, it is further declared, lacks the gravity which has been attributed to it by the foreign press, and a speedy and satisfactory settlement of the di&cnlty between France and Bulgaria Is confidently expected. It is eeini-officially declared at Sofia that the Bulgarian government has not the slightest intention of proclaiming its indeEendence, and that the rumor to this effect aa evideutly been circulated with tbe view to sow discord between Bulgaria and the Porte, and thus delay the settlement of the Chadouine affair. That "Accident" to the Czar's Train. Berlin', Jan. 7. The Kruez Zeitnng publishes an account of the manner in which It is alleged the "accident" to the Czar's train at Boxki, on Dec. 17. 18SS, realiy originated. The account states that a kitchen boy, who was employed on the imperial train, and who was supposed to have been killed in the accident escaped death, and that he was recently arrested on suspicion of being a Nihilist and was handed over to the Russian police. According tothe Krnez Zeitung. this youth, Bince his arrest, has coufessed that he placed an infernal clock in the compartment next tbe imperial dining saloon, and fearing that it would explode too soon, turned it the wrong way, with the result that it exploded in a downward direction, causing the accident Gladstone on llible Criticisms. Loxdon. Jan. 7. Mr. Gladstone, in writing a declination to join in the current discussion in the nswspapers on the subject of modern criticism of the Old Testament eayst "I am under the inpression that the
revival of its authority in consequence of these criticisms. My own protracted observation of the controversy, parallel and in some important respects analogous to tbe poems of Homer, compels me to entertain but a mean opinion of negative speculations." Mr. Gladstone goes on to urge young inquirers to beware of drawing their strength of persuasion and warmtn of affection into the field as if they bad the force of argument Revolution in Guatemala. Citt of Mexico, Jan. 7. There are wellfounded minors here that there are revolutions in progress in Guatemala, as no dispatches bave been received here from any part of that country since the 1st of Jannary, the date of the presidential elections. Tho Governor of Chiapas has telegraphed that ho, also, has no news from Guatemala, but has sent to Tapachula asking for information. Eight Persons Killed by Robbers. Vienna, Jan. 7. A horrible story of murder committed by robbers comes from Obzanka, in Poland. A band of robbers forced an entrance into the .house of a wealthy Jew named Feibel at that place and murdered the whole family, eight persons. They then collected a quantity of booty with which they made their escape. Cable Notes. Eleven persons belonging to one family have just died of trichiniasis in New Silesia. There is a chance that Lawrence Irving, who shot himself at Belfast Wednesday, may recover. The French revenue returns for the year 1891 show a surplus of 100,000,000 francs over expenditures. La France, of Paris, states that a military expedition is about to be sent to Touat to enforce France's pretensions to that oasis. A telegram from Tangier says that three British men-of-war are anchored in the harbor, and that the rumor of the landing of British marines is without foundation. Before drafting a bill in regard to the petroleum duties. M. Roche, French "Minister of Commerce, will send two officials to the United States to study the petroleum question. Lady Salisbury, wife of the British Premier, has become a memberof the women's committee, formed to look after the exhibits of English women at the world's fair, to be held in Chicago. The returns Issued by the London Board of Trade for the month of December show that the imports increased 3,&30,000, and the exports decreased 1,540, as compared with those of tho corresponding month of 1800. The London stocK market was depressed yesterday on reports that France would not permit England to land sailors at Tangier, the seat of rebellion in Morocco. The Khedive of Egypt's death also had a depressing influence on Turkish and Egyptian securities. The statement that the issue of a Russian loan of twenty million sterling is being arranged has depressed Russian stocks at Berlin. The German press is renewing its bitter campaign against Russian securities, declaring that tne pretended rapprochement "is a mere ruse to assist the projected loan." M. Zola, in an interview yesterday, ascribed M. De Maupassant's affliction to heredity, his father having died insane and his mother being subject to cerebral attacks. Said M. Zola: "Within a few years De Maupassant has changed from a bonvivant to an irritable misanthropic. Since his arrival at Passic his mania has gone and he hss sunk into a condition of melancholia. He is very weak."
IMMIGRATION ABUSES. President Harrison, in a Letter, Indicates that They Shall Have Proper Attention. PiTTsnuRG, Pa., Jan. 7. The frequent violations of ihe alien contract labor law, which was adopted, through the active efforts of the labor organizations, more especially the glass-workers of Pittsburg, will bo , made, a .subject of a conference of inquiry in New York this week. Tbe consultation is for the purposo of '. arranging specifications that are to be presented to President Harrison, showing that the prominent provisions of the labor law have been repeatedly annulled by the action of the very officers whose duty it is to see that it is enforced. The prime cause for the failure of the law to act is a conflict of authority between Owen, of tbe Bureau of Immigration, and first Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Nettleton. whose decisions bave been widely different on almost all the cases when doubtful immigrants wero detained at the varions ports of landing. In a letter to Secretary Coke, of the Win-dow-glass-workers' Association, President Harrison says he has received several letters upon the subject but they are all wanting in specifications. An Inquiry will be made as soon as Secretary Foster is able to be out again. The letter codtinues: "What we have both said upon this subject ought to be sufficient evidence of our sympathy with a thorough enforcement of the law to which you refer. Some of tbe letters I bave received seem to go upon the impression that . the Superintendent of Immigration, in the Treasury Department, is an independent officer, while the law only makes him a bureau chief, necessarily acting under the Secretary of tbe Treasury, immediately, or under such one of the assistant secretaries as may be assigned. As I have already intimated, in order to have any satisfactory adjustment of complaints, there should be something specific. But as 1 bave said, such inquiry will be made as soon as the Secretary is able, with a view of ascertaining whether any one has been at fault." TWO HUNDRED ENTOMBED.

The evening papers printed a dispatoh from New Orleans which stated that Captain Williams, a representative of the Olympic Club, was on bis way here to interview prominent pugilists in regard to a contest to take place in the Cresoent City Msrdi Gras week.

CONSPIRACY OF OPERATORS
Unfair Advantage Being Taken of Miners to Stamp Out Thoir Organization. More Serious Outbreak than Ever Now Seemi Imminent from the Treatment Ex-Strikers Are Subjected to at Linton. Epec!al to the Indlanspoll Journal There Haute, Jan. 7. Last week the" trouble in the bituminous coal regions had apparently been settled satisfactorily tothe miners in every district outside of Clinton, but official information received this week indicates that the trouble has broken out anew, and, if anything, in a more serious form than tbe previous outbreak. It appears that the operators are making a determined effort to destroy the miners' organization, and that they are being aided by the worthless element among the miners. National Vice-president P. H. Penna, who is located in Linton district, where the trouble was thought to have been settled, has written to the State officers in this city that the operators are doing their utmost to destroy the organization, and suggested that one of the officers go to Linton. In response to this appeal for assistance President Cummesky will thorougly investigate the trouble. He will also visit Blackburn, in Pike county, he having received a dispatch that the operators wero reducing their employes. The operators at Hugger, in the Linton district, bave refnsed to allow the check-oft system to be continued as it was prior to the strike, and the miners, being in a helpless condition, have fresumed work in spite of the refusal. This is striking the men at a vital spot and it is a plain attempt to disrupt their organization. A fact that is worrying the State officers greatly is that the miners at Dogger are divided in their opinions concerning organization. Some favor a national organization, others a state organization and still others incline to the idea that they are better off without an organization of any kind. The operators are ntilizing this dissension am oner tbe miners, and it is easy to see how greatly it assists them in their efforts to destroy the organization. There is a cause for the men's antagonism against the national organization of United Miners. When the strike was declared on at the conventionin this city. National President Kea and Secretary McBride telegraphed to the convention opposing the strike. Then, again, failure to supply the idle men with sufficient relief funds has cansed a great deal of hard feelings against the national order. There are no signs of a settlement iu the Clinton district, and as soon as President Cummssky returns to the city;, and the extent of the trouble at Linton is learned, the national officers will be appealed to for aid to support the Clinton men. Threats of Tennessee Miners. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 7. Brigadiergeneral Carnes, commanding the Tennessee militia now stationed- at Briceville, returned to the city to-day for the purpose of transacting some important private business. In sneaking of the situation at the mines, the General said to a reporter: "The outlook for a fight is pretty good, that is, if the miners' threats amonnt to anything. They are very much excited, and may be led to the fighting point. The presence of tbe troops, they say, is an insult to them, and they openly declare an intention to resent it. Every day while I was there parties of them would post themselves on the creek opposite our camp and jeer at us, and threaten to 'come and see us' one of these nights. Last Friday some farmers came into camp and told me that there were 2,500 gathered at Briceville, a few miles distant, and swearing tbey are going to wipe ns off the face of the earth. The camp and stockade are situated in a basin surrounded by mountains, and their plan was to take position on the high ground and pick us off like rabbits. They might do some damage in that way just now, but by tbe end ot the week the block-house will be completed, and in them the troops will bo secure. The men are all well and in good spirits."

Tbe plaintiff is said to be a young woman well known in society, while the defendant is a wealthy lumber-dealer at Twenty-sec ond and Latiin streets. Tbe circumstances leading up to the tiling of the case were related by Frskine MoMillan, attorney for tbe plaintiff. 'It was in lSS" said be, "that Mr. Temple inserted an advertisement in a Chicago newspaper asking for a lady correspondent,' which was answered by Mrs. Johnson. He pretended to be a single man, and the exchanges were kept up for a year. Matrimony was the main subject of conversation and an engagement of marriage was entered into. My client came to Chicago and found that Mr. Temple had a wife and two children. He told her, however, that he would soon be divorced from bis wife, and proceedings were pending, but she must wait a few weeks. She did wait, but there was no divorce.

GABZxV NOT YET CAPIUBED Bat United States Troops Are Reported to Bo Close to the Rebel's Ileels. La Grippe Play in; Havoc with Both Bandits and Soldiers Lieutenant Langhorne's Foot Amputated Rumored FizhL Sax Antonio, Ter., Jan. 7. The expected tidings of the capture of Garza did not arrive to-day, although anxiously awaited, and no news of tbe scouting party sent in pursuit has come to headquarters today. The fact that a failure to capture was not reported was 'considered a favorable sign, and gave rise to a hope that the party was on a hot trail, and did not think it best to send back a courier until he could bring indefinite tidings. No doubt is expressed here that Garza is somewhere in the neighborhood of bis father-in-law's' ranch, near Palito Blauco, and not more than seven leagues from Rio Grande City. And it is said that he is not only suffering from his old wound through the stomach, but that la gTippe has him in its clutches tightly, and that malady has also manifested itself in the ranks of his followers, many of whom are snflenng from aggravated forms of it, which their recent hardships incident to activo service have intensified. The troops sent in pursuit are also suffering great hardships, and a considerable number have succumbed to Inliuenza, aggravated by exposure. Efforts are being directed to driving a cordon of troops around the banditti. From the manner in which the latter are scattered the success of such an undertaking is problematical, but the military authorities believe perfectly practical. Great disoouragement is felt over the flat refusal by the civil federal authorities to give the military proper support and assistance. A drill by the scouts and their packmules toofc place this afternoon, prior to being sent oil maneuvering at 8 o'clock this evening to the front via Laredo. The mules are admirably trained, and Chief Scout Bailey handles them welL The infantry at the post here is being drilled in the new tactics for field and regular battle movements, especially to deploy forward on the center sections. Tbe drill this afternoon attracted large attendance, as it is beginning to look as if the infantry may have to march after Garza. They are being drilled with that in view. If Garza is not corralled before the end of this week. General Stanley and nart of bis staff will go into the held next week, but he is expecting the movement will bo suppressed before then, and there will be no necessity for his going. There is reason to believe that if Garza should succeed in avoiding arrest he will keep up the present feeling, and will haye the active support of all the anti-Diaz element in northern Mexico, which will join him at once upon his advent into that country. Reports from various points throughout the Southwest convey the information that parties of Mexicans are equipping themselves with arms and horses, and are leaving for the supposed rendezvous of the revolutionists. While no sanguinary engagements have occurred for several days, there is a widespread feeling all along tbe border that Garza's war is as yet in its ineipiency. The only official advices to-day were from Colonel Morris, at Fort Mcintosh, who telegraphed CoL J. P. Martin, adjutant at the military headquarters here, as follows: "1 understand that the Mexican consul at Laredo has received word from General Iiice to the eflect that a party of Garza's men bad raided a small place called Lejoa. They robbed tbe place of aimj and then Had to the other side' and one was captured. Hardie reports under date of Jan. 4 that he thinks the bands are trying to get together again after the last break up. He is at Saleneno, Tex." Lieutenant Langhorne's Foot Amputated.

Secretary Blaln Could Not Attend. Boston, Mass.. Jan. 7. The annual banquet of the Boston Merchants' Association, at tbe Vcndome, this evening, was the event of the year in clnb circles. Tho ab sence of Secretary Blaine, who was expected to be present, detracted from its general interest, but the 200 members and guests who were present heard speeches on reciprocity with sooth America from representatives of Venezuela. Mexico, and this government. Sneaker VV. B. Barrett, of tbe State House of Representatives, welcomed the foreign guests on behalf of the Commonwealth, in the absence of Governor Russell. Ex-Post master-general Thomas L. James discussed needed reforms iu the postal service. He advocated a postal savings bank system, cheaper ocean postage, and that tbe postoQice be divorced from politics. Senor Don Matias Romero, tbe Mexican minister, analyzed tho Mexican railway system, which, he said, had been aided by American capital, nd hoped soon arrangements for commerial nmon would be made. Then the trade between the two countries, which was increasing, would surprise tbe world. Wm. E. Curtis, director of the American Bureau of Republics, said he had expected surely to have a message from the Secretary of State, who hoped to be present, but the letter failed to arrive in tbe confusion that attended the Secretary's illness yesterday. A letter of regret was read from Chilian Minister Montt Excellent Appointments. Ffci'adelrhia r.eoori (Dcm.) President Harrison has made excellent appointments to the Intorstate-commerce Commission in Messrs. MoDill of Iowa, Lindsey of Kentucky, and Morrison of Illinois.
