was the more exasperating: In view of J

n& mai me prisoner, xio.iupi.uii, ad mitted the facta of the accusation against him, for which he was wanted in Kentucky. The Governor says that Judge Buchwaltefs arraignment of the State, of Kentucky was unwarranted in reason and In fact, and was to be regretted, as its tendency, if It was to have any influence, was to destroy comity between States. Exasperated people in Kentucky and Ohio had resorted to mob violence always in extreme cases. Yet the civil authorities in every case endeavored to let the law have its course. Moreover, there Is no report that Judge Buchwalter made no effort to rebuke the violence of the mob that, on Sunday night, attempted to rescue,' Hampton from the officers when they arrested him." His demand of the guarantee of Kentucky officials is virtual lv an attempt to amend the law of the Nation on thin matter. It assumes authority not thought of by Governor McKinley. and annuls Governor McKtnley's warrant as well as violates federal law. The logic of such a decison, if made a rule, would be to make Kentucky fugitives form Justice asylum in Ohio. His self-respect and his regard for the dignity of the State of Kentucky forbid that he should ever give any such humiliating guarantee. Hampton is in no danger of mob violence, and never was in any danger of it. Governor Brown does not believe the judiciary of Ohio will uphold Judge Buchwalter in these views. But if they should be adopted as a rule he might retaliate when requisitions were made on him for fugitives from Ohio. PERISHED IN A HOTEL EDWARD rASCOE, HIS BABY AXD MOTHEB-IS-LAW BUIXED.

There were four persons in the building at the time Edward A. Pascoe and wife, his baby, about two years old, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Masters. The wife only escaped. The flre started in the cellar, where it must have been smouldering all night, as the Pascoes were almost suffocated when awakened. The 1(husband assisted his wife to the window t &nd returned to take his mother-in-law and babe, but perished in the attempt.

THE OREGON IIOUHOIU Forty People Perished and as Many ' More Were Injured PORTLAND, Ore.. Jan. 1. A letter to the Associated Press from Silver Lake, Ore., gives the number of people burned to death during the Christmas eve festival as forty. Fully as many more were injured, some fatally. The names of the dead were given In a former dispatch. The fatally Injured are Robert Snelling, Roy Ward, Mrs. Thomas Lobrie, George Paine, Charles Hendricks, Bert Gowdy, Mrs. Charles Hamilton, Annie Henderson, Mrs. Ward and three children, of Mrs. Egll. The seriously Injured are: Four Buyck children. Jack Henderson, Clara Snelling, L. Coshow, Mrs. C. Marshal, Mrs. R. Homing and Mrs. L. Buyck. Many of those who perished were burned beyond identification. About two hundred persons were in the hall together. All had met at Chrisman Brothers to hold Christmas-tree exercises. While the presents were being distributed, George Paine, a young man, started to go to the door, walking on top of the seats. His head struck a large lamp, which began to swing to and fro. He caught hold of it to steady It. The lamp began to flash up. Some one knocked It out of his hand and it fell on the floor. Oil was spilled on the floor and the flames began to run along the side and across the rear of the building, where was the only outlet to the hall, cutting off all egress. A panic followed, and but little thought was given to the screaming women r.nd children. It was a case of survivalof the fittest. A number of persons got out ut one of the two windows in the hall, but soon the entire building was enveloped in flumes, shutting off all hope of escape for those still in the hall. The calamity has prostrated the whole county. People have come a hundred miles to minister to the injured and inter the dead. There was nothing left by which to Identify the victims, and the bones were gathered up and all hurled in one grave. James .Small, a well-known stockman of the county, had started with a band of horses and reached Burns, Parney county, when he heard that his son was one of the victims of the fire. He started to return immediately, Bnd in nineteen hours he covered a distance of two hundred miles on horseback.

A COSTLY SMASH UP

FOUR MEX IXJIRED IX A BIG FOUR COLLISION AT YORKTOWX. Congressman Bryan Lectures t Shelhyvllle Elwood Industries Show . Big Gains on the Year. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. YORKTOWX, Ind., Jan. l.-Through freight trains No. 93 and No. 72, on the Big Four, collided on the main track at Yorktown this morning at 4:30 o'clock. No. 72 had orders to switch at Y'orktown for No. 99, which was waiting for the other, but the switch light was not burning and before the engineer knew he was so close the collision accurred. W. A. Schull, engineer of No. 99, was caught between the cab and tender of his engine and so badly injured that he died after being removed to the hospital at Muncie. Fireman Henry Hart was . seriously If not fatally Injured by being caught under a box car after he jumped from his engine. No others were injured. About a dozen box cars were smashed into kindlings and the engines were badly wrenched. Passenger train No. 9 was on the scene in a few moments and took the injured men to the Muncie hospital where Schill died at 9 o'clock, five hours later. From the time he was injured he contended that there was no use to dress him as he would die. He said, "I know how bad I am mashed internally and I can live but a few hours. All I want is some medicine to ease the pain. His last words were: "Ten my darling little wife good-bye." The remains were taken to his home at Gallion, O.. this evening after the arrival of his wife and two eons, who comprise the family. Both engineers have been on the road for twenty years and "Cappie" Shull was known and very highly regarded by all. The damage to the company is heavy, the wreckage being piled high as the telegrapn poles. All of to-day the track has been blockaded and part of the time trains were run from Anderson to New Castle ort the Pan-handle and then to Muncie on the F W. C. T. road. The sidetrack alongside the wreck has .been cleared and trains are running regularly this evening. Fireman Joshua Welch is at his home In Brightwood under the care of Dr. W. L. Shank, who says the injuries are not so serious as reported. He does not believe they will result fatally. SSSBB" SSMM BRYAX TALKS AT SHELBYVILLE. t Address on Free Coinage Before 'the Toons? Men's Congress. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Jan. l.-The Young Men's Panameriean Congress, composed of forty-five of the leading young men of this city, to-night filled the opera house with friends to listen to Congressman William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, discuss the silver question. It Is the purpose of this organization to bring before them at different times the leading statesmen of the country and hear their views on living questions. Bryan is a strong adherent of the Western theory of money. In his oration he said: "Thre can toe no honest dollar, for Its purchasing power is variable. Gold 13 not stable, forlts value commences to decrease the moment It goes into circulation. This makes the difference between monometallism and bimetallism one of comparison only. The (multiple standard is proposed as the 'best because at the time a debt was due the average value of the article of necessity used as a standard would be nearer what it was at the time the debt was made. But the method Is impracticable. The question resolves itself into either monometallism or bimetallism. Legislation contracting the currency affects all classes. No more unjust scheme by which to put Into one man's pocket the bread earned by another man's labor has ever been proposed than that of increasing the value of a dollar. The supply of gold in the world Is not sufficient to carry on its business. Removing silver from circulation and keeping it so. and with the present output of gold, business -would soon toe carried on with an appreciated gold currency and the debts of the world would be greatly increased." For two hours Mr. Bryan presented all phases of the subject. He stated his position to be in favor of the immediate restoration of free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver by this country without waiting for the action of any other country. The crowd was immensely pleased and listened to the address throughout with interest. Representatives George W. Cooper and James E. Watson occupied places on the rostrum and were also guests of honor of the congress. Other Indiana Representatives had been invited, but letters of regret from most of them were presented, promising attendance at some future occasion. Then followed a banquet at the Hotel Ray in honor of the distinguished visitors. Plates for one hundred persons were set and an elaborate menu served. . 1 ELWOOD'S IXDUSTRIES.

"PUSH ON TO PEKING"

CRY OF THE LIBERAL PARTV TO THE JAPAXESE PARLIAMEXT. Minister Kurino Says There Is So Likelihood of an Armistice in the Oriental War at Present. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. Minister Kurino. of Japan, said to-day that in his judgment there would be no armistice and no abatement In the war between Japan and China until the peace plenipotentiaries have actually assembled, have formulated some basis which will warrant a cessation of hostilities, and have themselves asked for an armistice. Mr. Kurino received unofficial information at an early hour this morning that a manifesto had been presented to the Japanese Parliament by the Liberal party, breathing the war spirit and asking the government to push on to Peking before consenting to an armistice. "There is much talk of an immediate armistice," continued Mr. Kurino, "which is likely to cause misapprehension. I see no likelihood of an armistice until the plenipotentiaries have met and have agreed to request such action, together with some preliminary understanding to indicate the advisability of terminating hostilities. I am not officially advised that this was the course, but it seems the necessary and only one. It is certain there will be no hurried armistice before it is known that the plenipotentiaries are really likely to accomplish." The minister talked entertainingly of the great Importance of the year just closed, on the history of Japan. "It has been a most eventful year for Japan," said he to a reporter. "Since the declaration, of war last August, Japan has advanced steadily. And it Is a remarkable fact that while our army and navy have been gaining an unbroken series of victories, the internal resources of Japan have not suffered by being drained tor war purposes. At first the people in the northern parts had some hardships, as their local commerce was injured by the needs of the government in taking their ships. But even these people have recovered. At present the industries, manufactures, commerce and business of Japan are flourishing. There is the same activity and trade at Yokohama to-day as there was prior to the war. Corporation stocks showed some decline at the outset of the war, but now they are strong as ever." "Has the Japanese government been weak ened by the demands of war?" Mr. Kurino was asked. "Not in the least." said he. "It Is strong er than ever, in the support of the people and in the resources available. The war has aroused a dormant enthusiasm through out the country, it has cemented parties and made them all loyal to the government policy. In three days the diet voted 150,000,000 yen for the government for use In the war. The speed of such an appropriation indicates the united purpose of the people and their legislative representatives to uphold the government at every point. .For that reason the course the government determines on, either in continuing aggressive movements or consenting to an armistice, undoubtedly will have united support notwithstanding the reported manifesto." "How does the army and navy ot Japan stand the hardships of war?" VThey seem to gather strength as they proceed," was the reply. "Military authorities appear to agree that the equipment and maneuvering and action of the army and navy are as good as modem nations have shown. The arms of Japan have been manufactured largely in her own factories. Many of the heavy guns have also been made at home, u ne navy nas demonstrated the best possibilities of the cruiser, the torpedo and other arms of naval attack and defense. The three great engagements of the war Ping Yang, Yalu and Port Ar thur will undoubtedly stand as conspicuous events in military history. And with it all, Japan has shown her ability to conduct a great conflict and at the same time proceed with steady advancement in her in ternal affairs." Bold Concubines Flogged. SHANGHAI, Jan. 1. A fortnight ago the Dowager Empress had forty lashes given to Chin and Chin, concubines of the Emperor, who excited her Ire by offering advice to his Majesty. . Revolt of Chinese. SHANGHAI, Jan. 1. Two thousand of Li Hung Chang's test troops have been sent to quell a serious rebellion at Chin Chow Fu, north of the gulf of Pechili. ABOUT AVEI-HAI-WEI. China's Second Great Naval Strong hold on the Gulf of Pechili. Wei-Hal-Wei, which may be the objective point of Japan's third army, is a seaport of great Importance. It lies to the east of Chefoo, in the fertile province of Shantung, On the southern shores of the Gulf of Pe chili. Like Chefoo, it possesses a large harbor, .but the water is as a rule deeper than at Chefoo. Regarded as a naval station, Wel-Hai-Wei Is particularly favored by na ture. It Is well sheltered on all sides. A large Island lying to the northeast of the town defends the shipping from the winds In that direction, the only breezes to which It is in' any way exposed. The mountains which skirt the coast of Shantung here send out two rocky spurs Into the sea, which curve round from opposite directions in such a manner as to leave between them a sufficiently wide entrance to the harbor within. i The entrance is defended by two forts. one on each side. The forts stand on high cliffs, the precipitous sides of which face the sea. Their parapets bristle with Arm strong guns on disappearing carriages, ana there are about thirty-five Krupp guns. Captain Lang, who was for many years the principal European in the Chinese nuvy, and at whose suggestion the fortress was constructed, told an interviewer recently that, in his opinion, wei-Hal-Wel was im pregnable. The harbor Is large enough to accommodate a good-sized fleet, and shel ter enough to afford ample protection from tVDhoons. Wei-Hal-Wei is one of the seven places In China where powerful arsenals or dockyards have been established, and it boasts, further, of a naval college ror the training of cadets. Thus, Wel-Hai-Wei has been rendered practically Impregnable both by nature and by art. A special advantage which the harbor possesses is that it can sometimes be entered during the winter, when other ports are closed by" Ice, and on this account the place Is regarded by the Chinese as possessing exceptional value. Wel-Hai-Wei is a walled city of considerable size, so large, in fact, that a few years ago there were many fields within the city walls under cultivation. This is a characteristic of many Chinese cities. Nankin, "the southern capital." being another example. In the northwest corner of Wei-Hai-Wei there is a hill on which are several famous temples. The number of Inhabitants is not commensurate with the area of the city. and the shops are very inferior. The west .gate is in a good state of repair, out the other gates are an in a very auapiiatea condition, and some are closed altogether. The district surrounding Wel-Hai-Wei is populous, and the people are generally well to do. A good deal of silk Is made in the country round about, the produce of wild silk worms, which are fed not on mulberry leaves tout on the leaves of the oak shrubs which cover the hills surrounding Wel-Hai-Wel. This kind of silk Is also made in Japan, and is called Yama-bal. If the Japanese take Wel-Hai-Wei, the immediate result will be the disappearance of the Chinese navy from the northern waters of the empire. The navy Is grea' shattered as it is, and with no safe harb'r at hand in which to take refuge when necessary the remaining ships would find It impossible to continue their presence in the Gulf of Pechili.

DUKE'S SON FLEECED WORK OF SOTORIOIS AMERICAS CRIMINALS IS LQSDOS Developments of a Fight with Cutlasses in a Park and Subseiiucnt Investigation by Police. LONDON, Jan. 1. It is reported that Frank Tar boy, alias Frank Taylor, who, together with William Carroll Woodward, alias the Hon. Lionel Musgrave, were arrested here charged with participation in a fight with cutlasses at No. 18 Ulster place. Regents Park, and who afterwards jumped his bail, has been arrested at Cape Town. Subsequent to the disappearance of Tarboy, Woodward also jumped his bail. The police learned that both men were notorious American criminals, and that the cutlass fight had its origin in a dispute over the spoils of a robbery. It appears that on Sunday, Oct. 7, a well-dressed man who gave his name as Arthur Saville was thrown out of the house referred to above, seriously cutting his head and face. After the police entered the house another man who said he was Arthur Cockburn waa found lying in the hallway bleeding profusely from wounds similar to those inflicted on Saville. Lying near Cockburn were two cutlasses. Tarboy and Woodward, the occupants of the house, were placed underi arrest. They declared that Saville and Cockburn had been wounded in a fight following a drinking bout, and that the cutlasses had been used by them (the prisoners) in self-defense. Later tney were admitted to bail, whereupon theyd.sappeared. Then the police discovered, aided by the New York police, that the.r quondam prisoners were international criminals who were badiy wanted. Tne man Seville turned out to be the younger son of one of the wealthiest dukes whom Tarboy and Woodward had robbed by means of cards of about $300,000. Investigation showed that they had swindled many other persons out of very large sums of money, one of their victims being Samuel Lewis, probably the best Known and sharpest money lender in England. Mr. Lewis Is extremely reticent In regard to the affair and refused to tell how the sharpers got the better of him. Tarboy was at one time a leader of the notorious Johnny Irving gang in New York. The London police have been indefatlgible in their efforts to locate the pair, and it is thought that they have been successful as far as Tarboy is concerned.- Woodward is wanted to answer for an additional offense committed just as he and has "pal" were about to quit the country. A man to whom they owed money in some way learned that they had gone to Gravesend. He followed, met them and demanded the payment of the debt. Woodward hit him on the head wlih some sort of a weapon and nearly killed him. Cuba's Tariff Law to Be Revised. MADRID. Jan. 1.

The New Year's honors conferred by the Queen at the recommendation of Lord Rosebery, the Premier, excites much discussion on account of the curious preference. The Times, commenting on the selections made, says: "The colonial statesman or the Englishman who finds his career In the colonies must do far greater things than the Englishman who stays at home. In order to win his way. to that essentially Imperial distinction membership of the Privy Council. The absence of peerage is everywhere commented upon. Lord Rosebery's sense of the ridiculous is too keen to allow him to add new members to the house he desires to abolish." The Francais Journal complains of the absence of Irish names from the list of persons honored by the Queen on New Year's day. ' British Impertinence. LONDON, Jan. 2. Commenting this morning on the mission of William Randal Cramer.member of Parliament and secretary of the International Arbitration League, who goes to America to present an arbitration memorial to President Cleveland and the Congress. The Post says: "There is no doubt that the memorial represents British opinion, but we doubt whether tne procedure is altogether desirable. It savors somewhat of impertinence. We feel, however, that it will not be so interpreted in America, its aims being so obviously designed In the Interests of to great kindred communities." M.'De Giers Said to Be Dying:. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 1. It Is reported that M. De Glers, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, whose 111 health has frequently been referred to recently, Is dying. It is also reported that the Prussian embassador to Austria, Prince Lobanoff Posttovskl, who is now on a speciaf mission to Rome, having been charged to announce to the Pope the ascension of Czar Nicholas to the throne of Russia, will succeed M. De Giers as Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs. Something Brewingr in Germany. LONDON, Jan. 1. The Times correspondent at Berlin telegraphs that there is an undertone of suspense in all the newspaper articles dealing with the political situation. A remarkable feature is that even the most responsible papers make repeated references to Prince Bismarck and unmistakable, if veiled, allusions to the possibility of his regaining influence on the course of poli tics. 'Two Sew Catholic Bishops. ROME, Jan. 1. The Pope has appointed Bishop M. Marty, of Sioux Falls. S. D., to the bishopric of St. Cloud, Minn., and the Rev, Father T.

It Is Pronounced Much Superior to Beef or Pork. New York Mail and Express, "If people would overcome a mawkish sentiment that is not based on common sense horse flesh would toe sold for food by every ibutcher in the city of New York. I consider it superior to beef, both as to its palatability and nutritive qualities, and I speak from personal experience. The horse is an animal of exceptional cleanliness, and dainty in his selection of food. H is subject to fewer diseases 'than any other quad-, ruped. His flesh is of firmer fiber than beef, and there is less waste to his carcass. In Dieppe and in Vienna and Berlin horse meat is eaten by well-to-do people, and not exclusively by the verv - - r, as is erroneously supposed. It is the idea of the thing that does not ma popular with us. "You can do someth ith the horse that you cannot do with a. Jther animal. Let me give you an Illustration of it according to the French method. The butchers there buy up cart horses that are getting too old to work, and fatten them. u.his is an entirely different process from fattening beeves I mean if it happened that a butcher wanted to fatten an ox that had beea used for draught. The ox would lay in fat. and his flesh would toe stringy and tough. The horse, on the contrary, lays on new flesh and is . really more tender than, a young animal and just as wholesome. A large percentage of horses meet with accidents; a great many go lame from picking up stones, and become valueless for the wagon or. saddle. Ail tnese animals, provided they are otherwise healthy, are sold to the toutchers in France, and are pre pared for the market. The same rule, I believe, prevails in Germany, l cannot understand why people will eat pork and refuse to eat- horse. It is simply blind prejudice. Let somebody be bold enough to buy horsesteaKs, and you win una ma neighbors following him. and I'll warrant vou they won't go back to beef except for a change once in a while. Never has there existed a better opportunity than now to inaugurate this movement, "If you want an expert opinion on norseftesh as a food consult Dr. Huidekoper, the veterinarian, and the man who owned the crr-3s-country hunter Pandora. The old mare ibroke her leg In jumping and had to be shot. Dr. Huidekoper eerved her up In a ragout and roast to a party of friends, and they pronounced the dinner the most appetizing they had ever eaten." Episcopal Cathedrals. Springfield Republican. The Protestant Episcopal Church Is going ahead with cathedral building at a magnificent rate, as if it intended to produce th outward and visible signs of "the churcb in America." a3 some of its prominent pre lates want it called. Not only is the cathedral of St. John the Divine undsr way, and Bishop Doane at Albany putting up a very creditable edifice not to mention the Stewart Cathedral hidden away at Garden City, in the rear purlieus of Brooklyn but there 13 a Protestant Episcopal Cathedral foundation in the District of Columbia, whose board of incorporators have just chosen a board of permanent trustees, with power to liil vacancies in their own number. The trustees are these fifteen persons: Bishop Paret, of the diocsse of Maryland, exofficio chairman; Rev. Drs. Randolph H. McKlra, J. S. B. Hodges, George William Douglas and Alexander Mackay-Smith; George F. Edmunds. Henry E. Pellew, Gen. John G: Parke, Cols. John M. Wilson, A. T. Britton and George Truesdell, John A. Kasson, C. C. Glover, Theodore W Noyes and James Lowndes. The first thing which will be done in regard to the Washington cathedral is the establishment of a girls' school, which shall furnish the best educational facilities at a moderate cost to those who cannot afford high charges. Tha widow of Senator Hearst, of California, has offered to build and equip the first of th group of buildings for the school. Th cathedral owns a spacious site. Lord with a Record. Philadelphia Times. . ' . Lord Oxford, who has just died In England at the ripe age of eighty-one, once ran away from Lady Oxford with another fair lady, to the great scandal of all London, but there were extenuating circumstances. Lady Oxford used to come down to the breakfast table with unwas)o.l hands and help herself to sugar out of tha bowl without regard to the sugar tongs. Milord could not stand this, and departed with another, who, It Is presumed, washed her hands and used the Huear tongs when needful. The abandoned lady happened to be one of the wittiest women of her day, and also, as It turned out, the sharpest, for she never divorced her lord, so that he could not remarry, but lived for many years tinder a darker cloud than ever her dirty hands made In the domestic circle. As Lord Oxford had the blood of Sir Horace Walpole In his veins, the prospect of a most entertaining volume of memoirs is already discussed by those knowing his gifts in the epistolary direction, and this, it is said, will be issued. . - Obituary.
