ST. JOHNS, n. F., March Son
Tuesday last Governor Blake received
the following telegram: sit is consid-
cred by my government that if your
government approved, the time would
be convenient for the discussion of the
admission of New Foundland to the
federal union, and that no difficulty
would be likely to arise in arranging
the terms. Under these circumstances
could you send deputation to
ottawa with power to negotiate?
In our opinion, the deputation
should represent the opposition as well
as the ministerial party, AID as the
Canada session has begun and may be
short, we would suggest the expediency
of the deputation sailing by the steam

CHICAGO, March 9.-The following
letter is in reply to one written by

My DEAR SIR:-That there may be
no misunderstanding as to the posi-

Pacific Railroad Company, I desire to
add to my hastily written note of the

pany is willing to perform all duties
imposed upon it by law as a common
carrier and will do so when able. It
will not refuse to perform such duties
to all, because it is rendered by circum-
stances for which it is not responsible
unable to perform them as to one. It
will not suspend the operation of its
entire line and inflict incalcuable in
| Jury upon the communities dependent
upon it for transportation because Cir
cumstanceS render it impossible for il
to exchange traffic with another rail-
way company. Its engineers and
| firemen positively refuse to handle

| to your road. We have done nothing
| to induce this resolution. To discharge
them would not enable US to exchange
with you, while it would
render it impossible to carry fol
any body else. We occupy no attitude
of non-intercourse, but do refuse to in
iure all of our patrons because vi
cannot help you. / cannot see how
bringing about a general suspension o
the operation Of railways In the ives
can aid you in your present struggle
while can see that it would WOrl
great injury in the country. We ar
not willing to attempt the impossi
bic with the knowledge that the al
tempt will injure many and benef
none. Respectfully yours,

The WORST Phase Paased.

MCPHERSON, Kan, Mar. 9.-The
smallpox has passed its worst phase
and the cases are about all in the hos
pitfalls. three miles out of town with
most of them recovering. The disease
has not been among our business men
or their employees. A rigid quarantine
has been maintained over the houses
infected, persons suspected or exposed.
So there is no more danger coming to
this than to any other city. From
first to last there has been forty-three
cases of which five have died and who
were reduced physically before con-
tracing the disease. There have been
no new cases or deaths for forty-eight
hours. The Merchants and Union
hotels have been free of the disease
throughout. This statement is made
upon the report of health officers.

Warner Hanged at Jacksonville.
Indiana, for
Cutting the Throat Of a Fe low Psni-
tentiary Convict.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 9.-At
1880 o'clock this morning Warner was
hanged in Jacksonville. Before the
signal was given he laughed and said
to the sheriff: 81 am ready if you
are.o The crime for which Warner
was hanged to-day was the murder OF
Frank Harris. a convict in the prison
at Jacksonville. The killing occurred
april Is, 1887. Warner was also an
inmate of the institution at the time
and the two were employed in the shoe
shop. On the day previously they had
aquarrel and Warner announced his in
tentiOn of getting even. A few minutes
before the cutting took place warner
was observed to go to the grind stone
with a shoe knife about three inches
long and grind it to razor sharpness.
Warner then passed down the aisle to
Harris and without word of warning
made quick slash with the knife,
cutting his neck on the right side for
distance of eight inches and depth of
over one inch, severing the external
jugular vein. Harris was a noted
criminal and fimilar to the police in
several large cities under the name of
James Dunn, ''Reddy, the Bum" and
indianapolis Red.'' Warmers career
has been one of crime al
most since his infancy. He
was born in Cincinnati, Ohio,
but his mother removed to Indianapo-
lis when he was a child. When he
grew up he became SO unmanageable
that he had to be sent to reforma-
tory. He escaped at the age of fifteen
and shot policeman named Conelly,
who attempted to arrest him, infict-
ing dangerous wound. For this he
served five-year term in the Michi-
gan City, Indiana, prison. The crime
for which he was serving out a SEN
tence of twenty-one years at the time
of the last killing. was the murder of
Jacob Mandry, at Vincennes, Indiana,
in 1888. Mandry was saloon keeper
and Warner killed him because he
elected him fog disorderly conduct.

special from Wichita, Kan, says
Deputy Marshal Wood, who arrived
here yesterday from the western part
of the Cherokee strip, reports a
horrible massacre in that country last
Saturday. 1t seems that three settlers
named Albert Quinn, John Antwerp
and Thomas George were living in the
eastern part of NO-Man's-Land. At
the time of the Oklahoma agitation they
moved las they thought) to a point
short distance west of the terrific
rY line, and built huts. Some time af-
forwards, some cowboys ordered them
off, saying they were in the territory,
nearly mile east of No Mans Land.
They refused to move back, and on last
Saturday Geo. Delaney, aranchman of
the Cherokee strip, rode up to the huts,
accompanied by about a dozen of his
cowboys, and again ordered them off.
They refused to do SO, and a general
shooting followed, in which the three
settlers, Mrs. Antwerp and one
cowboy were killed. The other two
women and five children were spared
and went back to No Mans Land.
Marshal Wood says he has traced De-
laney to Wellinston and Winfield, and
he now thinks that Delaney is here.

ter, having been in several

Northwestern passenger train last
evening collided with the north-bound
train at TayIor's switch, south of the
city. The north-bound train was

an inexperienced man named Yeager.
He saw the danger, lost his presence of
mind and failed either to apply the air
brakes or whistle for brakes. No lives
were lost. Yeager was one of the new
men who tooK the places of the strik-
