tM$ and other ?outh ar.i Central American .actions rou!1 be taken at London, exe. ute.t nt the point affected1. anl not communicated to the Hritlsh diplomitl? representative In the lnlteI States. It haa been evMent to diplomats here for some time that the DrltUh Foreign Offlcre view all thre question as Issues between Great i:r!tain and the parties Immediately Involved, anl does no: recognize the United h'tite a-i a factor In the'.iusstlons. In diplomatic circles the personality of Mr. Chamberlain Is being discussed In connection with hi.- order. When he was In Washington as a member of the fisheries Commission all hlj utterances were extremely cordial to the United States, and he coined the expression, "blood is thicker than water." as applying to the blood relation between Englishmen and Americans. At that time he mt ills Kndlcott. daughter of the .cretary of War in Mr. Cleveland's first Cabinet, and married her. Thus In word and action he was regarded as typifying tho broadest British sentiment toward the United States. Kor tills reason there Is surprise that he should be the first to ure Maxim guns for the Venezuela boundary. Those who are Intimately acquainted with Mr. Chamberlain say that his l?tter to Sir Charles Lees la indicative of tie determined attitude he will adopt In all Cnestlons of colonial policy, lie is regarded O a radical in action as to politics. Among leading diplomats It Is considered as settled that the Hrltlah. government will Insist that any arbitration will not under any circumstances embrace the tract of the liritlsh Guiana side of the Schomburg line. The Uruan Incident, as mentioned in the cable, has been pending for months. The chief of police of British Guiana and several of his officers were arrested by Venezuelan soldiers while or the disputed border tract. The British officials were few in number, and could make no resistance to being taken to a Venezuelan town and held s prisoners. They were quickly released, however, on the nilng of protest. But the British chief of police claimed that he had been Improperly treated while under arrest, and he proceeded In person to Ixmdon to '' the matter before the Colonial Office, i'ince then no action has been taken, and It Is probable the action of the Colonial Minister is made with a view to preventing a repetition of the border arrests. Tri1.. presents very grave condition?." S3.IJ I Minister Andrade. of Venezuela, as he read with deep interest the cable trom tandon giving thtj orders of British Minister Chamberlain as, to the- military armament of the Hrltish Guiana frontier. He pointed out that there was a warlike sound to the publication, in marked contrast with the satisfactory tone of the London Times yesterday. The Minister would not discuss the diplomatic phases Involved, but he explained the location of the point mentioned In the cable, showing the significance and Importance of Chamberlain's action. The Uruan. mentioned as the point to be fortified, the Minister said. Is on a river of that name. On one side of the river is a British post, and on the other side a Venexuelm post. Laat spring tr.e British crossed the river, entered the territory near the Venezuelan post and raised the British fla. The Venezuelan soldiers thereupon arrested the British force and lowered the British flag. They then crossed the river to the sldv claimed by the British, and. It was asserted, committed some depredations on a house In the British post. The British force under attest was soon released and soon after received payment from Venezuela for the ilamase done to the house. It has been "PPed that the incident was ended, but the Chamberlain letter to Sir Charles Lees .Indicates that Uruan Is to 'be the point to be fortified a gains; further Intrusion. Minister Andrade consulted a late map as to the locality of a new road which Mr. Chamberlain advises as useful for military purposes. This Is to run from the Barlma river to Cuyunl. Barlma Is one of the most northerly points of Venezuela and Is e-nbracd within the concession recently granted by Venezuela to a United States syndicate. The road would have to cros this American concession north and south almost in the middle. Cuyunl Is far In the south, near the two opposing posts on the Uruan. Roth of these places are outside the Schomburg line and In the territory which It is understood Great Britain will not consent to arbitrate. ULTIMATUM TO A KIG.

Britain Preparing to Grnl the Ruler o Aahantee Possession. LONDON, Oct. IS. The ultimatum which Great Britain, according to a dlypatch published In New York to-day, has sent to the Kins of Ashantee la not anythinj new. It was forwarded from London on Sept. 9 ana Us terms place Ashanteo under British protection and establish a resident British commissioner in that country. A British mission, bearing the ultimatum to Coo ma scie, left the Gold coast on Sept. . and the King was given until Oct. 31 to reply. The Governor of the Gold coast, for some time past, has been preparing 'to edJ an expedition to Coomassie should such a step turn uit to be necessary. The Kins of Ashantee, as widely published for some months pat. Is alleged to have violated certain treaty obligations with Great Britain by continuance of the practice of human sacrifices, and also, it Is claimed, by hampering trade and attacking neighboring tribes under British protection. The trouble is of long standing and a month or so ago several native envoys from the King of A?h;ntee arrived !n London to negotiate with the British government direct, but they Tiave not been received here, and have been Instructed to addresd their communications through the Governor of the Gold coast, who Is tho proper representative of the British government to receive them. TO THE MIDDLK OP THE LAKE. Jurisdiction of States In Certain Cases, mm Viewed by Federal Ju'dares. CHICAGO, Oct. IS. In the opinion handed down to-day in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals the court declares that the Jurldlctlon of the States bordering on Lake Michigan extendi to the middle of the lke In cases where there is no conflict with the. admiralty laws of the United States. The opinion was on the appeal case of Anson A. Blgelow. the owner cf the steamer Bobert Holland. Nov. 1. 1S31. Htick Anderson was killed in a collision between the barge Parana. In tow of the Holland, and th refcooner William Aldrich, The collieion occurred six miles from the Wisconsin shore. There Is no statute cf the United States on deaths occurring in such a manner, and the administrator of Artderwon'a estate brought suit in the United States Court according to the laws of Wisconsin covering damages for deaths in accidents. Judge Jenkins hands down the opinion of the court, affirming the Judgment of the court telow In awarding damages to Anderson's estate. Judge Woods agreeing and Judge Showalter dl.-wentlng. Judge Jenkins, after referring to the absence of a federal statute governing the case in court, says: "The question still remains open and undecided by the srotus whether the jurisdiction of a State bordering on one of the ere at lakes extends beyond the low-water mark: whether the doctrine of the 'threemile belt, recognized in tho case of oceans, may be applied to -the great lakes, and whether State Jurisdiction with respect to such lakes Is co-extenslve with the boundary line of the State when one of Its lines 1 declared to be a line running through the ir.'ddl of the lake. We thing- it must be conceded that Lik Michigan is not a high cea in the sense that It is-'open and unenclosed and not under the exclusive control of any nation or p-e-ople. but is the free highway of adjoining nations and people. to us the language emploved by Mr. Justice Gray. The lake lies wholly within tho territory of, and. as respects foreign nations, is under the exclusive dominion of the United States. If we may indulge in the expression, it is not no man's land.' It la mot by nature free to the commerce of the world. It is so free only fcv the grace of the Government. It Is Included within the territorial boundaries of four States. We are. therefore, of the opinion that the surroundln; States, within the limits prescrlfced . In their respective organic acts, bave sovereign rights In and over the nav!t!e waters of I-ake Michigan." Indictment Held Ilnrk. KANSAS C1T. Mo..

FORGOT THE SWITCH

FATA L'llLr.XDEIl THAT COST Tlllinil lives o Tiin n. It. A I. Pay Train nt Terrific Speed Dashes Into n, yidlni? Lnst Day of l ort "Wnync's Centennial. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DECATUR. InJ., Oct. 18. This afternoon at Ceylon, on the Grand Itaplds & Indiana railroad, about seventeen mlks south of here, occurred an accident in which three bridge carpenters In the employ of the road were Instantly killed and several. Injured. The dead are: JAMES GILSON. JOHN MALOTT. WILLI Ail BUOWN. t Paymaster Harry Sullivan was the orst injured In the pay car, being badly bruised. The others escaped with scratches. The Wabash river is crossed at this Tlace by the road, and the three men who met thtlr death, were making repairs on the bridge. They had a small truck car on the main trade loaded with bridge timber. The paymaster's car was passing over tho road, going south, fifty miles an hour. The men pushed the truck car on the sidetrack and were waiting for the pay car to pass. James Gilson, foreman of the gang, opened the switch, but for some unaccountable reason neglected to closo it. following the truck car. helping the other men push It on the siding. Engineer David Uricker could not see the misplaced switch until too close to check the speed and ploughed Into the car with terriiic speed, instantly killing all three men, who did not have time to Jump from the car. All were married and iive at Decatur. None of the trainmen were badly hurt except the paymaster. The locomotive, after going through the truck car, struck a large flat car loaded with long timber. The heavy timber so baJiy damaged the engine that it will be taken to Fort Wayne for repairs tomorrow. Jaspar Metzger was conductor of the train. The locomotive and car were thrown from the track, but the car was soon replaced and within a short time was on the way with another locomotive. Physicians from this city and a wrecking train went to the scene, and all trains were delayed. News from the wreck is very meagre. SHUTTING OW FLA MDtAl'Y, Inspector Leach Snym Farmers Are Complying: irlth the Law. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind.. Oct. 18. State Natural Gas Inspector Leach was much surprised on his return home yesterday to learn from an El wood special of a general uprising of the farmers of Madison county in opposition to the enforcement of the flambeau law. Mr. Leach is just in from a visit to that part of the field and he declares there is nothing in the story. Concerning the laws prohibiting the waste of gas and his action In enforcing the same Professor Leach authorizes the following statement: "If there be any opposition to the enforcement of the, flambeau law in Madison county I have not heard of it. I found the farmers there perfectly willing to comply with the law. The percentage of farmers using the flambeaux is very small, taking the territory over. In but one neighborhood in the entire gas belt have I found any opposition to the banishment of the wasteful flambeau, that being in a community northwest cf Hartford City in Blackford county Two parties refused to turn off the light. I informed the prosrcutlng attorney, they were arrested and lined and appealed to the Circuit Court. "As a rule, parties using these lights have not been obstinate. In all cases, except the one referred to. a formal notice to remove them has been . sufficient. The number of flambeaux In use now is very small in comparison with the number used six months ago. There Is a strong and growing sentiment in favor of saving the gas in all possible ways, and, as a rule, farmers having their .own wells will not permit a flambeau or gas pump on their places. The farmers display commer.dabie intelligence. They were among the first to recognise the necessity of economy in the use of the fuel. As most of the leases of the land to companies expire as soon as gas ceases to flow In paying quantities. It Is to the Interest of the land owners to prevent waste and prolong the revenue as long as possible. "I here are not as many flambeaux burning as one might suppose. Here and there a farmer has one, and a few are usxl in small village. The wasteful devices are diminishing rapidly, and it la only a question of a short time until they will be abolished altogether. Windfall. Jonesboro. Hartford City Dunkirk have abolished them recently, tnd one company in Bedkey has shut them off. The other company uses but ten of the lights. Heretofore manufacturers have used the flambeaux for lighting, but on realizing that gas was most valuable as a heating power have substituted other lights. As to the constitutionality of the flambeau law I know nothing. With me it la constitutional until some court ays it is not. Another thing, escaping gas is dangerous. This is particularly true of leaky gas pipes along the public highway. The law makes It the duty of the road supervisor to condemn all leaky, dangerous or defective pipes or lines in hia Jurisdiction and provides a penalty for the use of such dangerous pipes or lines after being so condemned, i do not think anyone will contend that this latter law is not constitutional. I will inspect all the gas plants In the State, and if I find any of the plants leaking gas or In an otherwise dangerous condition I will order them repaired." A nOLD ADVEMIRKSS. Told n. Mce "Vnrn" and Got Money In Two Cities. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSON VILLE, Ind., Oct. lS.-Mrs. Joseph Bellah, the fair confidence woman, who recently "bilked" Magistrate Eph Keeglven out of 173, went to New Albany and secured $173 in a similar manner.

Nahesa captured the Ashland stake for yearlings in a drive by a nock. The Wilson stakes for 2:CT pacers was an exciting contest and Bert Oliver simply outgamed the other two. Rachel was the favorite. The meeting was a big success financially. Summaries: . 2:28 trot; purse, 00. (Two heats trotted yesterday.)

COLUMBUS, Ind., Oct. 18.The races this afternoon were to have ended the meeting, but owing to the trouble in getting the green horses in the three-minute trot to start the 2:20 pace, which Is looked forward to as the best of the meeting, had to be postponed until to-morrow. A consolation race wlll .be arranged for defeated horses to fill out the programme. A large crowd was disappointed by the poor racing today. In the first heat of the free-for-all trot Snowden would have been an easy winner had not his driver pulled him crossways of the track Just before he passed under the wire. A howl of Indignation came from the crowd and the Judges declared the heat off and gave the driver a severe call down. Investigation developed that one of the owners of Snowden had backed Jack to win. The track management was indignant over the affair. It is thought that the race was won squarely in the three succeeding heats, as Jack was the fastest horse, and could have won the first heat had he not broken near the wire.

QUEEN OF HER CLASS

GRKAT SPEED SHOW.V YESTERDAY nY THE BATTLE SHIP lSDlAXA. Avernjce of I.Vtfl Knots Per: Honr Made on n (Ill-Knot Trlnl Coarse . . Cnptaln Evans Happy. BOSTON. Mass., Oct. 18. The battle ship Indiana made her official speed trial run to-day over the government ocean course, thirty-one knots eastward from Cape Ann and return, and showed an average speed of 1"k61 knots per hour, which. If not decreased by the tide allowance, will, entitle the Cramps, her builders, to a bonus of $30,000, as the ship was required to show a speed of fifteen knots, while . for every quarter knot above that requisite the firm is entitled to $23,000. At the end of the runs the Indiana had shown herself to be the finest vessel of her class afloat. The government board Is satisfied, the Cramps are pleased, but "Fighting Bob" Evans, who is to command her. is to-night manifestly as happy as a king. 'Notwithstanding the fact that she had her trial practically in fig htlng trim, the battle ship did not roll even In the slightest degree, which Is deemed wonderful by the naval experto who were on board, as war ships of fhls class are noted generally for their tremendous roll. The Indiana made . her fastest time on the last leg of the course, doing tho 6.2 knots In twenty-two minutes, forty-nine seconds, an average speed of 16.34 knots, developing over 11.000 horse-power, and winding up her splendid performance by making a complete turn ineide 400 yards. One by one the mark boats were passed, and at 12:03:19 the end of the eastward run of thirty-one knots was reached, and the Indiana lwas swung around for the rturn trip. Not much time was consumed in this maneuver, and at 12:24 .-01 H the run to the westward and the finish line was begun. This portion of the trial was not attended by any Incident of consequence, although the excitement was intense while the last leg was being covered and the increased vibration told of the grand final effort, 'Which was being put forth to make a fitting ending to a splendid performance. The finish was passed at 2:30:21'$, and without any reduction in speed a helm teet was made, which Captain Evans afterward characterised as the Unest he had ever seen. After the quick turn the Inliaia was brought about and, without any delay, steamed slowly back to the President s roads. Late this evening she ' started for Philadelphia. During her run he developed an average of nine thousand horsepower and the trial was, as a whole, announced to be satisfactory in every respect. The eastward run was made against tide. It is a question whether the corrMed schedule will increase the Indiana's aver.ige r not, but it hs thought possible that it uay show a speed of 13.75 knots or over.. . LOST HIS VALISE.

Oct. 19.At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon fire started in Burke's livery stable, on Broadway, and never stopped until 7 this evening, when it had wiped out the business portion of the town five squares bounded by Center, Short, Grove, Broadway streets and the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern railroad. A high wind prevailed and ' spread the flames like a prairie fire before a gale. The fire departments of Loveland, Lynchburg and liillsboro responded to a call for help, but were of little avail because of the lack of fire cisterns and the great scarcity of water. The flames did as they pleased and only stopped when the wind went down ard the fuel burned out. The result was the destruction of thirty-seven business bouses and their contents: twelve dwellings and contents, two churches, two secret society lodges and the postoffiee. How the fire started has not been explained. The Mayor has sworn In 1T0 special police to watch the Mlvage. The total loss is variously estimated at from 31J),juo to tSA(W0. All is confusion, and nothing definite is known cf the Insurance, Among the heaviest losers In business are: II. t arnahan. agricultural Implements, and the Planchester Bank, $6,000 each; Moon & Snj-der. hardware, and I Baldwin, buildings. fcVXM each: II. L. Day, drug; J. H. Bandlev. building, and M. K. Church. 11,000 each. The other church burned, that of the Friends, was valued at J1.000. other business losses ranged from $3,000 each down to $3J0. The dwellings burned ranged from T20 down to fcOO each. Many families are homeless and many mechanics and shopkeepers lost their all. Near midnight to-night it was learned that "Happy Jack Baldwin" was seen to run Into a building to-dav the walls of which soon afterwards collapsed. It Is believe! that he perished. All search has failed to discover him about town. The total Insurance at this hour Is estimated at 110,000. Other Fire. DENVER, Col., Oct. 13. A dispatch from Creede says that all the frame buildings in the town burned last night. Thts is the third disastrous fire in that famous mining camp.

BOSTON. Oct. 18. The Republican ratification meeting held In Music Hall to-night was Interrupted by an episode, which, while It lasted, was most exciting.

It was alleged, would be permitted by the management to speak. The meeting was half through when, as Lieutenant Governor Wolcott was speaking, some one In the gallery called for Senator Hoar. A hundred voice replied in a shout for Congressman Morse. Por the next live minutes the hall was filled with a babel of voices intermingled with the strains of the band, which was requested to play, the vigorous founding of the presiding officer's Ravel and the vociferous efforts -of spectators to quiet the turbulent ones. At length the presiding officer maoe himself heard. ' Senator HoaT and Congressman Morse represent opposite sides of the A. P. A. question.
