The Taclflc Mail officials have received no further information up to 9 p. m. beyond a dispatch from Captain Pitts, of the San Juan, giving the list of those saved. The very latest dispatch from Mazatlan, via New York, says: "The accident occurred at nbcut 11:13 o'clock: Id) missing." A cipher word that Is not exactly understood by the steamship company may change the wording of the message as regards the time. The following message has been received from the agents of the Firemen's Fund Insurance Company of Manzanilla: "All ready to proceed to the scene of the Colima disaster. Urgent need of some one caring of the San Francisco Underwriters' interests. Can, obtain diver here." The inference here 13 that the vessel struck upon a rock. The insurance board held a meeting to-day. but took no action. The agent at Manzanilla will be notliied what to do tomorrow. The Colima was due at Manzanilla on Sunday, the "6th inst. The dispatches show that the vessel foundered on Monday, the 27th, off Manzanilla, which would indicate that some accident to the machinery occurred which retarded the progress of the vessel and prevented her from reaching the port of Manzanilla before she foundered. The Colima was a single screw propeller with an Iron hull. She was built In 1873. at Chester. Pa., by John Roach & Sons. Her tonnage was 2,909 gross and 2.143 net. her horse power 1.1 and her speed lHi knots. This was her 123t-h voyage to Panama. She carried about two thousand tons of cargo, and was valued at $103,000.

In order to prevent the passengers from sinking the boat3 In lowering them the captain was obliged to threaten them with a revolver in his hand.

THE INDIANA TK00PS

SOW SHOWN TO IIAYB IIECX LAST O.W CIUCKAMAGIA 1IATTLLFIKLI). Gen. Hoynton Send Record to Col. Steele Trouble at Mr. MeCord'i Funeral in l'ranktou. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., May .-Interesting facts omitted In the history of the famous battle of Chickamauga. redounding to the honor of Indiana troops, were given out to-day by Col. George W. Steele, who has spent some time In securing tardy justice to certain Indiana regiments. The battle of Chickamauga is more talked about Just at the present time than any other conflict of the long civil war. Indiana troops played a prominent part from the beginning to the end of this two days' battie, being among the first to arrive on the ground and the last to leave. Jtecently the battlelieu has been purchased by the government, and will be converted Into a national park; monuments will be erected showing the position of each regiment. None did more Important work than that of the On-hundred-and-first Indiana Volunteers. They came to the assistance of Gen. II. V. Boynton in the nick of time, and were the last to leave the field, as the correspondence between General Boynton and Major Steele on this subject now shows. Colonel Steele asked General Boynton, of Washington, to verify the claim made that the One-hundred-an-tirst Indiana Regiment. Colonel Steele's, and the Sixty-eighth, relieved Boynton's brigade on Sunday night, Sept. 20. 18B. and with Boynton's troops wire the lat to leave the Chickamauga battlefield. Mr. Steele does not claim the Indiana troops did any fighting at the windup. but docs claim they came up in time to support Boynton at a critical moment . when the rebels were forminz a line of battle on the opposite side of a ravine. The Indiana troops drew up ready for battle expecting to become engaged and greatly relieved the situation. General Boynton's reply describes the closing scenes of the battle on that Sunday night, and entirely verifies Colonel Steele in his claim. General Boynton adds that the situation had become Ftrained on account of the withdrawal of Steedman's brigade. He learned this at sundown, and the new rebel line being formed opposite he learned of at the same time. He says at that fortunate moment the tw.o Indiana regiments came up and Generals Brannan aud Van Deweer directed that Boynton should place them, which he did. There was only one volley fired after that, and Kelly's men replied from the rebel line with a weak volley and retired. The Onc-hundred-and-flrst and Sitxy-elghth Indiana Regiments then were In the rear when the Union troops withdrew, and were tho last to leave the battlefield. QlEKIl SOIIT OF FlEItAL. Marlon McConl Arretted fur Breaking t'p the Kserelften. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKTON, Ind., May 29. The wife of Marlon McCord, who lives southwest of the city, died recently under suspicious circumstances. The report was that she had been poisoned, an! rumor connected the name of her husband and a young lady who was working for him as a domestic. The grand Jury, however, on Investigation, refused to return a bill. When Mrs. McCord was buried there was no funeral preached, but It was to have been preached on last Sunday. The Rev. Page, of Tipton, had been engaged by McCord to preach the funeral, but when the services had been commenced Mcscs McCord, father of the widower, arose and said in an angry and threatening manner that many of the people had gone before the grand Jury and sworn to scandalous lies, and were liars, and that until they had acknowledged that they had lied in spreading the poisoning story the funeral should not bo preached. Marion McCord then used language of a similar nature. Many people left the church in a towering rage, and the affair is considered one of the most disgraceful that ever occurred In a church In thi3 county. Moses and Marlon McCord were arrestca at Frankton yesterday, and arc going to make a stubborn light. They will retain attorney Ballard, of Anderson, to defend them. A dispatch from Anderson says that affidavits were filed there to-day. and a number of arrests are to be made in this case. SOMXAMIHMST OX A Tit A IX.

Th? two whaling chips which wintered In our harbor on that island last winter (that of lS:;-!4) no doubt pursued the same methods as those of past years and though their rrcsence there and the employment by the iudson Bay Company of their whaling

ship, the Perseverance, for the past two seasons, is a gratifying evidence that, during these years of rest from pursuit and attack, the whale, walrus ana seal have Increased in the northwestern waters of the bay, yet I have again to repeat the warnirik fdven so many times since I first trought the matter rp seventeen years ago. that without some control is exercised over the present method of killing these animals, which will allow them a fair chance of escape and of restocking these once valuable waters, the merciless bomblance and gun. and other appliances which give these creatures no chance of life at all. will speedily destroy the last hope of restocking these Canadian waters.

MINERS VOTE AGAIXST AX INTER STATE SUSPENSION OF WORK. Only Thirty Delegates in Favor o! Quitting Preident Penna'a Address to the Convention. COLUMBUS, O.. May 23.-The National miners' convention, with sixty-two delegates from OhiD, Indiana, Illinois, western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, met today. President Penna being In the chair and Patrick McBryde secretary. President Penna made a, speech reviewing the situation since last June. One point was that Pittsburg operators refused, as shown by a letter from them, to co-operate with Ohio operators In a joint convention with tho National Miners' Association, because Pittsburg believed the differential of 9 cents between Ohio and western Pennsylvania ought to be abolished and Ohio operators would not consent to that. Operators of other States then held an informal conference and agreed that unless Pittsburg would come into an interstate agreement it was useless to go further. The present convention, he said, was to consider the foregoing situation. He then stated tho conditions in the respective States. In conclusion Mr. Penna doubted the ability of the miners to sustain a strike like that of last year, but this was a matter to be determined by the convention. He said: "I don't believe the miners of Illinois or in the block coal field cf Indiana could be induced to join in a general suspension at this time." Referring to the miners of Dcarmitt, at Pittsburg, Mr. Penna said they had work at wages satisfactory to themselves and did not care whether the miners of Ohio had work or not. The convention, thi3 afternoon, by a vote of 133 to 30, adopted the following report by the committee on resolutions: "Whereas, We now recognize the fact that GO cents per ton is the price now established in the Pittsburg field and, with the number of men now working, it would be Impossible at this time to again get them all to suspend; and, "Whereas, We also recognize the fact that the miners of Indiana, both block and bituminous, have agreed by contract to work the bituminous mines until July 15, 1895, and the block coal miners to May 1, 1S56. and, "Whereas, We believe the position of Illinois, the northern part of which is under contract for one year, and a considerable part of West Virginia, is such that they could not. or would not, suspend at this time, even if called upon to do so, by this convention: therefore, be It "Resolved, That we deem it unwise that an interstate suspension be ordered at this time." Cost the Trainmen 5,04)0 Member. GALESBURG. I1L, May 23.-Grand Master Wilkinson submitted his annual report today to the convention of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.

A scheme to make an Important change in the system of crop reporting is about to be put into operation by the Agricultural Department. It will provide for detailed reports from a vast co.-ps of correspondents covering every township in the country and it is expected to be as thorough and complete a plan as will be possible for the government to carry into effect. A correspondent will be located in every township and he will be required to report directly and promptly to the department. The plan will first embrace only twenty States, ranging from New York to the innermost of the Central States, but these comprise IK) per cent, of the wheat area. They include 1.3S9 counties and the greatness of 'the scheme is apparent when It Is taken into consideration that the number of townships in a county averages about fifteen. This was used in conjunction with tho system now in vogue, each set of reports acting as a check on the other. The present system provides for one chief reporter in every county, who is expected to receive and properly weigh the reports of three others in the same county. There are now about 1.S03 chief correspondents and about eight thousand correspondents in all. Steps looking to organization of the personnel of the new corps of reporters have been taken by the department, but the new plan cannot be Iiut in operation before next year. H. A. tobinson, statistician of the department, ' Is sending the following circular to county oiflclals throughout the twenty States: "A large increase in the sources of information available in this division in the preparation of its crop report Is desired. In pursuance of a suggestion of the committee of the National Board of Trade. In recent conference on the subject of crop reporting with the Secretary of Agriculture and the undersigned, it Is proposed to secure. If possible, a capable correspondent In every township, election district or other subdivision of every county, Instead of depending, as heretofore, on the report of a single correspondent In each. You are invited to assist the department in carrying cut this object by submitting the names of two or more residents In each township or other subdivision of the county, stating their calling and postoftiee address. It is not desirable to limit the names submitted to farmers exclusively. No doubt millers, physicians, grocers and others may be. leund well qualified for the purpose. The object .of securing more than one name Is that the department may be able to communicate directly with the second person named should the first be found unavailable. For this reason, also, you are requested to submit the names in the order of their probable availability as correspondents. The only considerations which should weigh in making a choice are the party's opportunities for keeping well informed in regard to crop matters, and the intelligence and conscientiousness necessary to supply intelligent and honest answers to our inquiries." reunion Ittillna-.

E0BY FIGHTING BACK

I3IPORTED DETECTIVES AS WELL AS BOOKMAKERS ARRESTED. The Latter Took Fine of $3 at Hobart Last -Mght, While Detectives Went to Jail nt Hammond. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ' " HAMMOND, Ind.. May 29.-The ' Roby people began to fight back to-day, and as a result an Imported detective was arrested for every man arrested by the anti-Roby crowd. The charge against the detectives is more serious than that against the -bookmakers arrested. Two sets of warrants were served at the Roby track. One waa?by Constable Wall, of Hobart. on F. Williams, Henry Peeks, Charles Frank and Simon Raster, who were operating a book under the name of the Kentucky Club. The men were taken to Hobart, where they had a hearing to-night. The other and more important arrest was made by officer Henry Burge and assistants, of Hammond, who took into custody four Chicago detectives named Eugene Lawson, James O'Donnell, Frank Moore and Joseph Iteming, who are employes of the Mooney and Roland detective agency, of Chicago. These men were arrested on the charge of Impersonating officers under the act of the General Assembly passed March 9, 18S0, which makes it unlawful for any person to act as deputy sheriff, deputy constable, etc., who has not been a resident of the State for one year and of the county for six months. The same act makes it unlawful for any duly qualified officer to appoint such a person as his deputy, and in either case the penalty is imprisonment In the penitentiary for not more than one year, to which may be added a fine of not exceeding $100. The men were brought to this city, and In defuit of bail in the sum of $300 each, were sent to jail to await their preliminary hearing before Justice H. B. Crawford next Saturday. When the men were searched a number of warrants were found on them, issued by a Justice of the peace at Hobart directed to any constable of Lake county, and calling for the arrest of John Doe on the charge of gambling. A certificate was also found signed by Constable Wall, of Hobart, appointing the bearers his deputies. At first they gave their place of residence as Hobart, but later Lawson said that he lived at Indianapolis and boarded at the Denison. Later Walter S. Devereux, of the Moony & Roland detective agency, appeared before Justice Crawford at 12 o'clock tonight and deposited $1,200 in cash as security for the appearance of Lawson, O'Donnel, Moore and Fleming at their preliminary hearing next Saturday and tho four men were released from custody. llookiiiakern Fined $5 and Costs. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VALPARAISO. Ind.. May 29. The four bookmakers at Roby were brought to Hobart on the 7 o'clock train to-night and taken before Justice John Foster, where they entered a plea of guilty and were fined $3 and costs. Last night Max Blumenthal was fined the same amount, and an appeal was taken to the Superior Court. He gave bond, with John Condon, Armenlcus Knott and Louis Willlngill as sureties. A private message, received here to-night, says that a coup is planned for to-morrow. A number of detectives from different parts of the State are expected, and not only the bookmakers but those who buy pools will be arrested. A typewriter has been busy all day writing out blank warrants, which will be taken to Roby to-morrow and placed in the hands of the officers employed by the civic federation, who are still furnishing all the money necessary. How long the tight will be kept up is not known, as the expenses of the raids are $150 per day. The Chicago people back 'of it say they will furnish sufficient money to keep the fight going all summer if the officers will be kert at work? A SOLDlEirS FUNERAL. Concluded from First Page. casket, borne by eight stalwart sergeants of the Fourth Artillery, under command of Capt. Charles D. Hall, of the Nineteenth Infantry, was borne into the East Room and placed on its supports. The floral tributes were gathered by the ushers and heaped in profusion on the black surface of the casket. Again the crowd divided, and the President and his Cabinet entered. President Cleveland headed the party, with Mrs. Cleveland on his arm. In order came Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle, Secretary Lamont and wife. Attorney-general Olney and wife. Postmaster-general Wilson and wife, Secretary Morton and wife. Secretaries Herbert and Smith and acting Secretary Uhl. They took the places standing at the head of the casket, at the right of the south window. Then Bishop Hurst stepped forward, a hush fell upon the company and the clear voice of the clergyman rang out with the words, T am the resurrection and the life." The service was remarkably simple and free from ostentation. It was the full burial service of the Methodist Episcopal Church, practically the same as that of the Church of England, though somewhat abbreviated. The bishop read selections from the different parts of the Scripture, the thirty-ninth psalm, the ninetieth psalm and the fifteenth chapter of the First Corinthians. Then a quartet stationed at one side sang sweetly Cardinal Newman's hymn, i.ead. Kindly Light." Again the bishop read a few verses from the Scriptures and the funeral prayer, and then the services closed with the Lord's prayer and a blessing. The entire service lasted fifteen minutes. The bishop stepped to one side after inviting those who cared to do so to look on the face of the eminent deceased. Of this invitation every one In the room took advantage and a long line of people silently formed and passed beside the casket, taking one last look at the features of the late Secretary as he lay peacefully at rest In hts narrow casket with his left arm crossed on his breast. Meanwhile the President, the Cabinet and the diplomatic corps had retired to make ready for their journey to Chicago with the temains and the floral offerings were gathered up and put away. When the crowd had withdrawn the casket remained open for an hour, while a few came and went to take a last look at the face of the dead. The great East Room was deserted save by the presence of the army officers in charge of the arrangements and by a small group which sat silently and sadly immediately alongside the casket. This latter group included Mr. Otto Gresham, Mr. Andrews, son-in-law of the deceased, and Bishop Hurst. TO THE Tit A IX. The Henrsc Escorted ly Monnted nml Foot Soldiers to the Station. Just at 11 o'clock a bugle sounded from the cavalry without. It was the signal -to move. The attendants oi the casket stepped forward and prepared to seal it. Miss Kale Field, who had remained in the room, stepped to the front and was the last to take a look at the dead. Then the lid was screwed down and the squad of marines were marched in; they formed at either side of the casket and at word of co:nmand from Colonel Haywood bore the casket slowly through the corridors to the hearse in waiting. The crowd on the portico reverently uncovered their heads as the cofiin passed. I'ne son and son-in-law followed, and after them came the Pres'dent and his Cabinet with their wives. A carriage with Mrs. Gresham and her daughter joined the funeral cortege at the executive mansion. Tho military, which had been drawn up on Pennsylvania avenue fronting the White House grounds, awaiting orders, were given the word of command and the funeral party with its military escort moved down Pennsylvania avenue . to the Baltimore & Ohio station, from which the sad V i f.ey to Chicago was to be made. Major l....-'-al Thomas H. Ruger was in command of the e.sccrt and the members of his staff were: Thomas M. Vincent, IT. . a.; Col. H. C. Corbin, U. S. A.; Maj. W. P. Hall. l S. A.: Maj. J. C. Muhlenburg. U. S. A.; Capt. Crosby Miller, l S. A.; Capt. C. W. Whipple, l. b. A.; Cant. Rogers Birney. U. S. A.; Capt. O. J. Fleberger, U. S. A., and Lieut. J. Y. Mason Riant. L. S. A. Capt. Whipple was overcome by the heat while awaiting the conclusion of the funeral services. He fell from his horse and was taken to a ho?p!tal near by In an ambulance. The military detachment was headed by troops A. 1Z. H and ?. of the famous Sixth Cavalry from Fort Meyer beyond the river, headed by a band of forty pieces, mounted on heavy troop horses. Major Lebo commanded the cavalry. The famous National Marine Band, with its full complement of sixty men in glittering uniforms of r.carlet and blue, and much gold lace, swung into lin after the regiment of cavalry and was followed by the marine corps from the navy ard barracks, three companies, commanded J by Captain Robinson, with UD men in line. I The four guns of Battery C, of the Third i Artillery, followed with forty men In line. under command of Captain Lancaster. Then came four foot batteries of the rourth Artillery, A. I.

emerged from the White House gate it came to a halt in front of the troops drawn up In the order given. The troops saluted. General Ruger and his aids lifted their hats and the Marine Band struck into the Folemn strains of "iearer. My God. to Thee." To this music the military detachments marched past the hearse and when the last companv had passed the carriages with the President and Mrs. Cleveland, members of his official Household fell into line, the relatives not accompanying the funeral cortege, but driving privately to the station shortly before train time. The cavalry escort made a fine appearance stretched across the broad avenue In company lines with heavy yellow plumes. Three bands played dirges along the march. There was no emblem of mourning In the procession save the bands of crape on the flags and. altogether, the display was a very unostentatious one. Sidewalks and windows along the line of march were crowded and flags on all of the buildings were half-masted. The column proceeded at a rapid rate and reached the station a few moments before noon. The marine corps and the Fourth Artillery Band was in line Just opposite the entrance. A halt was called and the troop stood at a present arms while the hearse drew up to the sidewalk. From the right came the music of the Marine Band, "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." Far to the left a wandering organ Rrinder played "There is a Fountain Filled with iilood." The eight artillery sergeants, with Captain Hall. Nineteenth Infantry, lifted the casket from the hearse and bore It down to the train. Tho funeral train In its appointments was one of unusual magnificence. It was made up of five Baltimore & Ohio and Pullman coaches, and was drawn by Xo. 1411, one of the powerful fast-running engines, employed in the Baltimore & Ohio Western limited services, with engineer Ixckhart and fireman Eakel in the cab. The train was under the direction of conductor Frederick, with conductor Taylor In charge of the Pullmans.

Doane. of Chicago, a director of the Pujlman company; Mr. Bond, division passenger agent of the Baltimore & Ohio. and Mr. McKlroy, of the Pullman company. The Virginia, which came next, was occupied by President Cleveland and Secretary Lamont. Neither Mrs. Cleveland nor any of the ladles of the Cabinet were in the party. The rear car, the Haslemir, was occupied by Mrs. Gresham, her son Otto, and Mr. and Mrs. Andrews. Mrs. McGrain. Captain Fuller and the family servants. All of the coaches were of the latest pattern and fittings, with every modern appliance and convenience. Each coach was of the private car design and was supplied with separate cooking and dining convenience. On the train the casket was placed in a cedar outer case, bearing a gilt plate, with the words "J3ody of Walter Q. Gresham, Chicago. 111." As soon as the President and the members of his Cabinet, Mrs. Gresham and the members of her immediate family and the others of the funeral party had entered their coaches the wov. was passed along and the train .slowly moved out of the station, the waiting crowds standing with uncovered heads. It was Just 1215 o'clock when the train started, and if schedule time is made, it will reach Chicago at 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. A large number of messages f condolence from foreign governments and their representatives here were received last evening and this morning.

Miller was chairman, said: The fact Is Christian people throughout the land have yet to take hold more seriously of the whole question of church and Christian education. There Is a growing dissatisfaction on ull hands with our publia schools systems, especially on two points. First, that it Is a big. heartless machine, which cither turns out automaton boys and girls of the same atern or grinds to powder those that fail to tit in the mold.
