The boycotting of DR.. Mackenzie by the

Salisbury Is Playing a Desperate

Prestige.
Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON. Dec. s.-There are indica-
tions of war in the admiralty office. The
government has decided to take the risk
of leaving the present force at Suakim
to take care of that port and place its
defense entirely in the hands of the
officers on the spot. The report that an
attack will be made upon the Arabs
next Wednesday is premature, and
probably refers to proposed movement
in the way of reconnaissance to feel
the position and strength OF the rebels.
Referring to the expedition, the Daily
News says: sit is never easy to con-
duct war on the principle of limited
liability. We cannot afford to be beaten,
and if we begin we must go on, simply
driving the Arabs back into their in
trenchments, unIess the slaughter in
volved in their pursuit meanSa a determi-
nation to court the fate of Hicks PaSna."
That there is serious difference of
opinion with regard to the obvious in
tention of the government to reopen the
Soudan question there is no doubt;
neither is there any doubt that the gov
ernment is playing desperate Lingo"
game in order to recover the ground it
has iost in the public esteem thrOgh its
asinine Irish policy, eliminating in its
championship of the Times cause.

dispatch published here this afternoon
concerning an attempt of persons. in.
Perry county, this state, to recover a

Mrs. Fry was resident of Donneliy'S
Mill, and died soon after the policy was
taken out. 1t is alleged that her son was
assisted by several other conspirators
who are now endeayOring to recover the
money. Counsel for the company iIl-

court had Fry indicted for perjury ia
making out the affidavits which accom-
panied the policy of insurance. The
grand jury ignored the bill on the
ground that there was no legal perjury
In making out proofs of death, what
ever moral perjury there might have
been in the transaction. Baked in this,
the matter will be carried into the

are named in connection with the con-
spiracy. There are said to be further

TEXARKANA, Ark, Dec. s.-One of
the most sensational and deplorable
murders ever committed in this section
was perpetrated at this place at O'Clock

Four years ago Mr.. Beidler separated
from his wife, charging her with GRIM
inal intimacy with A. T. Spear. Spear
denied the charges, but was very inti-
mate with the woman. Six months ago
Mrs. Beidler died and Beidler set
ugly rumors afloat about Spear
having been the indirect cause
of her death. Beidler threatened to
have her body disinterred and an au-
topsy held, and so announced in the
morning papers. This SO enraged the
elder Spear that he assailed Beidler and
gave him terrible beating with club.

giving Spear fearful beating. A short
time afterward, as Beidler was walking
leisurely up the street, the nineteen
year-old son of Spears walked up to
him, placed a shotgun behind his ear
and blew the top of his head off. Young
Spear is in Jail, but the father can not

ceipt of telegram from Lyons saying
that the suspected prisoner had been res
leased. Mr.. Stone, who represents the

most strange proceeding. On Nov. 80
received the following telegram from
Mount Sterling, KY:

graph appeared; so did Tuesday, We'd

''The man arrested on suspicion of
being TascOtt, was identified as being
some one else and we released him."
Now, l don't know Lyons, or who he is,
Mr.. Stone continued, "but it seems
very strange that, after being so posi-
tive, and agreeing to send photo
graph, he should have released him
without saying anything about it."
''Was there anything in the safe by
which TascOtt could have obtained
$4,000? "There was not, and, as for
money, there was not any to take. On
the afternoon of the day of the murder.
Mir. Snelfs coachman asked him Tor his
wages from the first of the month up to

next day, as he only had $40 or $l2 with
him. During the evening he gave the
servant girl $40, and when his clothing
was searched but a dollar and some
cents were found in them, thus bearing

Four large steel vessels in process of
construction were upon the stocks
within few feet of the burning build
ings, but the ships were saved from
damage. The loss is approximately
fixed at 100000. and it is probably COW

yards and they will resume their work
