tragedy is reported from the Indian terri
tory, opposite Delaware Bend, in this
Cook county. Yesterday posse went to
Deer ranch for the purpose of arresting a
number of cattle thieves. AS they ap-

Raft, man named Motters and
F. member of the Indian police named Gus
None of the thieves were arrested. Andy
Raft was a citizen of Gainesville and large
cattle owner. The parties who did the
killing live in Delaware Bend, but have re-
sisted numerous attempts at arrest by cross

ing on the government for state rangers to
assist in arresting and ridding the section of
the desperate band.

NEW YORK, May 2.-Judge Lawrence
to-day in the supreme court rendered a de-
cislon in favor of Joaquin Miller, the author,
in the proceedings brought by him against
Mckee Rankin, the actor, concerning the
play, "Old 49.'' The suit was brought
several years ago, Mr.. Miller declaring that
in 1878 he wrote play called California
Gold," but afterwards remodeled it
and changed it's title to ''Old 49," He
claimed that Mr.. Rankin produced his play
with unimportant changes under the title
of $40" The suit was brought to restrain
the production of the play by Rankin and
also for $4,000 damages. The play had
been intrusted to Mr.. Rankin to deliver to
j. C. Williamson in London. This, IL was
charged, Rankin had failed to do. and
pending negotiations to give him
the right to produce the play,
he was permitted to retain possession of
it. Judge Lawrence decided that the
plaintiff was entitled to Judgment against
the defendant, directing a return OF the
manuscript of ''Calafornia Gold' and ''Old
49' to him, and that Rankin be enjoined
from the further production of the play
$40" The court allows the plaintiff SIS a
night for the $50 nights the play was pro-
duced by Mr.. Rankin.

Russian Recruits in New York.

Special 10 UllC OlOUe.
NEW YORK, May 2.-The Russian corvet
Strelok changed her anchorage yesterday,
dropping down the river to point more
convenient for her commander to reach the
Russian consurs office. Capt. Sl1ryloff made
several trips to the consul yesterday, and
many messengers passed between the ship
and the officer bearing cipher cable dis
patches. Roman ROsen, the consul, refused
to be interviewed, giving as a reason that
he was busy attending to matters
deemed of great importance to his gov
eminent These important matters proved
to be the enlistment of large
number of able-bodied young Russians
for whom agents have been securing the
city for two weeks. The Strelok has a crew
of $50, which is 100 more than there is any
need for, and the new men will be used on
the ship in training classes, finally taking
the place of the present complement, per-
mitting the latter to take to Russian waters
certain vessels now lying in this harbor.
The recruits reported for duty on the Strelok
last evening. The English man-of-war
Garnet left Fortress Monroe yesterday
morning, and it is expected to arrive here
tonight. There is great deal of excite
ment among the agents and owners Of for
eign shipping vessels.

Arrest of n ssFence.,,

BUFFALO, N. Y. May "A. j. Rayner,
proprietor of one of the principal news
depots in this city, was arrested to-day and
locked up as receiver of stolen goods. His
place of business was closed and a search
instituted by the police, when SIS, 600 worth
of watches and jewelry was found
that did not belong to him. The
police had been working up the case
for some time and had notified
Canadian jewellers from Gait, Hamilton and
Toronto to be here to-day. They came and
very large portion of the stolen property
was identified, some of which had been
taken from one to three years ago. 1t is
thought that Rayner, who is connected to
one of Buffalo's families, has been a
''fence" for long time. Warrants have
been issued for the arrest Of several persons
in Canada. One of them is the
notorious ''Clutch Donohue." who is noted
as one of the most expert thieves in the
country. He is wanted in the United
States and Canada Rayner's arrest has

OTTAWA, Ont, May a.-The house of
commons adjourned at midnight tonight
after having been continuously in session
since 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, fifty
seven hours, which is the longest session of
any parliament in Canadian history. The
question of giving the right to vote to the
Indians was the point at issue and the
house rose without any progress being
made. Discussion will be resumed at
p. m. Monday. The premier and Mr..
Blake made stirring speeches before the
house rose, and the excitement both on the

ANTWERP, May 2.-The international
exhibition was opened to-day by King Leo
pold, assisted by the queen and other mem
bers of the royal family, together with the
cabinet ministers and foreign diplomatic
representatives. Seven thousand spectators
were present. The president of the exhi-
bition delivered a long speech, in which he
attributed the great success of the scheme
to King Leopold's energy and patronage.
The king in reply said that he was gratiied
at the success of the work in which he took
profound interest, and he thanked those
who had supported the enterprise.

on the part of Gen. Komaroff in his Afghan
advances, and which will suggest much fur
ther negotiation, but no arbitration. While
all this correspondence continues between
London and st. Petersburg there is no ces-
Sation of the tremendous preparation and
concentrations for actual warfare on either
side. All this points to an ultimate rup-
ture. NJ. De Geirs has already suggested to
Sir Edward Thornton that during the dis
cuSSion of the question of the observance of
the agreement of the 18th of March, the
work of delimiting the disputed Afghan
frontier shall cease. 1t is said thatthe Rus
sian minister has even proposed that during
the work of delimitation Russian troops
shall be withdrawn from Penjdeh. 1t is
stated, however, that in this proposal M.
De Giers asks, on the part of Russia, that
in case of doubt among the commissioners
as to the rightful boundary, the Lessar line
shall be accepted as the correct one, and
that he insists that the commission shall be
confined in its work to purely topograph-
ical considerations. These would almost
CERTAINLY FAVOR RUSSIA.
On the part of England M. De Giers asks
that, pending the decision of the boundary
commission, the Afghans retire from their
present occupation of Zulticar. 1t is also
reported that NJ. De Giers asks that during
the work of delimitation no Indian advance
shall be permitted beyond Quetta.
The First army corps of India under
command of the Duke of Connaught has
prepared to begin its march towards Pishin
next week. In the diplomatic contest for
alliance it would appear that England is
making better progress than Russia. Be
sides the permission to pass her ships
through the Dardanelles, it is stated that
England has secured an understanding
which secures for her the friendly neutral
ity of Persia in the event Of an Anglo-RuS-
sian war. The shah of Persia, it is said, has
already forbidden the Russians from con-
veying warlike material across Persian
territory, even near Askabad.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The removals
these days are numerous enough to justify
the apprehensions with which the depart
ment people are looking forward to the
first of the month. There were discharges
from every department and branch of the
government in Washington yesterday.
Economy is urged as the motive for the re-
duction, but it is notable that nine out of
ten of the victims are without the pale of
civil service protection, and their
places can be filled at any time
by faithful Democrats of modest expecta-
tions. Appropriations are running short as
the close of the fiscal year approaches
They always do. This time, however.
there is readiness on the part of the new
Democratic heads to avail themselves to the
fullest extent of this excuse for reducing
forces. With the 1st of July the appropri-
ations will be available, and it is
SAFE TO PREDICT
that none of the Republicans now being re-
lieved will return to their places. Sixty
nine employees of various grades were
dropped at the navy yard and Others We're
reduced. The postmaster general dis
charged six inspectors. Several messengers
and clerks of the lower grades in the post
office department also walked the plank to-
day. The next notable change under Nh.
Villas will be in the position OF the chief
clork, the place which was declined by Nick
Bell. Mr.. Manning cut off several customs
officials and thirty mint people, while his
subordinates thinned out the $50 and S75 a

just what the source of encouragement is,
but the waiting

months left in the fiscal year. His plan is

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Gen. Black has
determined to relieve Miss Ada Sweet at
the close of the fiscal year. This fact is
known beyond all question. 1t is known,
further, that Gen. Black proposes to install
Mrs. Mulligan as Miss Sweets successor.
Gen. Black, however, refuses to talk, as he
expresses it, ''for publication" He was
asked by a reporter if there were any
charges against Miss Sweet. He politely
declined to reply. He was then asked how
the administration could afford to stultify
itself by removing Miss Sweet before the
expiration of her term in the absence of any
good ground for dismissal. On this point
also he refused to commit himself.
