THE CONGRESS OF THE NATIONS
1t VIII Meet in Washington October 4, Next
for DeliberatiOn.

Especial to THE HERAID---Examiner Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, June 4-The report that
ConsulGeneral Warner p. Sutton at
Nuevo Laredo would act as secretary of
the Forthcoming congress of nations. is de-
MED at the state department Mr.. Sutton
will be present at the deliberations of the
congress, but merely in an advisory ca
paclty. Mr.. Blaine says that the consul
generals knowledge of the customs laws
and other matters connected with imports
and exports across the Mexican border is
greater, perhaps, than that of any other
gentleman either in or out of the service.
This fact was satisfactorily established by
the assistance which he rendered to Gen
eral Grant and Mr.. Trescott during their
preparation of the commercial treaty with
Mexico in 1888 which never went into
effect because Congress failed to pass the
necessary legislation.
When the congress of nations shall have
completed its labors, Mr.. Sutton will re-
turn to Nuevo Laredo, to which point the
-generalShip has recently been re-
The international congress will meet in
this city October 4, and remain in session
about four months A portion
of this time, however, will be spent by the
delegates in visiting the different manufac-
turing and commercial centres of the coun
try, and thus acquainting themselves with
the resources and customs of our country

WOODRUFF'S THREAT
He VIII Make Some One Think
Hades is Near.
CAPTAIN SCHAACK is SUSPENDED.
He Was Very Derelict in the Cronin Case-This
Adds to the Mystery of the Natter
What Next?

CHICAGO. June 4.-Many contradictory
confessions of the imprisoned horse thief
Woodruff, alias Black, regarding the
Cronin mystery Were capped this afternoon
by there being new narrative from him
regarding the affair. During the inquest
Police Captain Shack, who was on the
witness stand, had testified as to the in
vestigations which followed the arrest of
Woodruff for horse stealing, and retold
the whole of Woodruff IS varied stories
about the men whom he claimed were
named King and Farsburn, and the carry
ing off of woman's body in trunk
When the captain was asked if he had
had any recent conversation with Wood
ruff, he said: Woodruff sent for me the
day the grand jury was in session on this
case and we went together into private
room in the jail. Woodruff went on to saw
that there were good many things he had
not told about the case. He continued by
saying he was in saloon one afternoon
with King and Fairbrun when a strange
man entered and took King aside. Wood
ruiz said the man had big roll of money
and he gave some to King and more to
talrburn. They went out together and
the strange man left them at the door.
After he had gone, Woodruff said he asked
King who it was and King said: That is
Lawyer Alexander Sullivan"
Captain Setback added in reply to a
jurors question that the next day after
Woodruff had been indicted for horse steal
ing he sent word that he would not talk
any more.
The Daily Ne,Cs says this evening:
Woodruff this morning declared: L amt
going to get the worst of it, although there
are people trying to give it to me- I amt
an Irish-Catholic and l suppose the Irish
will try and give me the worst of it, but
they had better look out If find they are
trying to do that, III make some one think

DRAPEDIN MOURNING
The Terrible Scene of DesolatiOn
Around JOhnStOWn.
A FULL OF soRRowING SOULS
Everywhere are Found the Dead-London
Sends Aid-President Harrison Lends
His Presence to Assist the Work.

JoHNsTowN, June 4.-The water receded
IN the night almost as rapidly as it came,
and behind 1t remains the sorriest sight
imaginable. The dove that came has no
green leaf of promise, for its wings are
draped with the hue of mourning and desc
lation. Before the windows of the Asso-
ciated Press headquarters lies the great
skeleton of dead Johnstown Great ribs
OF rocky sand stretch across its chest,
SCARED and covered with abrasions; acres
OF mud; acres of wreckage; acres of I'M
steady, tottering buildings; acres of I'M
known dead; acres of CHASTITY objects
which have been eagerly sought for since
FRIDAY; acres OF smoking, steaming ruins ;
acres OF sorrow for somebody, lie out
there IN the sunshine; there is every pros
pect that the heat will become intense later
IN the day. The effect will be awful to
think OF. Hundreds of bodies are lying
along the river banks and under the piles
OF big timber and trouble will come from
there because they are hard to find and
harder to dig out. Out in the center of the
river on the extreme edge of the mass
which rests against the bridge the Pitts
burg fremen have stream at water play
ing on the wreckage They are literally in
the middle of the river putting out the fire
Bonhres are burning everywhere. Fire is
the agent employed to help the committees
get rid of the refuse and broken wood. By
means of fire the Cambria Iron company
cleared away most of the lighter lumber
and will soon be able to work on the
heavier piles. The completion of a tenn
porary track and bridge which permits the
passage of trains over the river has been a
blessing, for it allows men to work much
faster than before and get tools and ma
terial closer at hand.
This was the day set aside by the citizens
committee for burying the unidentified
dead that had been lying in the morgue
since Sunday at 10 o'clock The men in
charge of the burying had been busy all
day. There are no pathetic scenes at these
burials. The men hired to do the work
seem to do it just as a matter of business.
The bodies are being inferred in the ceme-
terry nearest the place where the bodies |
were found.
About noon procession of fifty cofined |
bodies was seen going up the hill above the
railroad. There was not a mourner present |
and the sight was gastly one to behold. 1t |
will take several days to bury the bodies |
now in the different graveyards, as there |
were few graves dug until this morning |
and no implements to dig them with
A large detachment of men arrived from |
Pittsburg this morning and We're put to |
work digging graves. Altogether about |
three hundred bodies We're taken to |
different cemeteries this morning

ROSEBUD AGENCY, South Dakota June a
The commissions first council with the
Sioux was held yesterday afternoon, all
the prominent Indians of this agency were
present, as well as delegations from all the
other Sioux agencies. Governor Foster,
chairman of the commission, explained at
length the provisions and scope of the bill.
He said that the government did not pro
pose to take their land except with their
full consent and would pay literally for it,
and that the commission hoped to be able to
convince them that it was for the best in
terest of the Indians to sell. At the request
OF the Indians, the whole act was then
read. The council then adjourned to give
the Indians an opportunity to discuss its
provisions with each other

Captain Setback Susnended.

CHICAGO, June Captain Setback was
suspended from duty tonight by Chief
Hubbard for alleged dereliction of duty in
the Cronin case. This action was taken
after Schaack's examination before the cor
oners jury, and is announced to be based
upon Schaack's neglect to summon persons
other than Mrs. Conklin to identify the ia
nous white horse rig, and for not inquiring
into the whereabouts of detectives Cough
lin and Whalen on the night of May 4.
Chief Hubbard tonight in an interview
after the suspension charged that Schaack's
course in q certain matter was due to the
fact that an effort had been made
by Schaack's enemies to GUST him from
office. Setback had found a powerful
friend in Alexander Sullivan, and in one
case at least Sullivan had saved Setback
his rank and star as captain

The Lost Trains,

JoHNsToWN, Pa, Jnne At is now def
nitely settled that at least from twenty to
forty were lost on the two sections of the
day express that left Pittsburg Friday
morning and the Johustown accommoda-
ton about to leave Johnstown that after
noon. There have been numerous conflict
ing reports about how many trains were
caught in the floods. From a reliable
source it has been ascertained that these
three trains were caught by the water. A
passenger on the train says he can count
up at least twenty whom he saw drowned.
Three hundred more bodies have Just
been found opposite Ninevah This makes
700 found at that point. Adiutant-G General
Hastings this morning stated that he
wished positively to deny the stories pub
lished in certain newspapers to the effect
that there had been wholesale lynching and
rioting here since Sunday

A BRAVE MAN.
Edward c. Will at the Risk of His own Life,
Saves Twenty-Five Persons.

JoHNsTowN, June Mrs Fredericks.
an aged woman, was rescued from the attic
of her house yesterday afternoon. The
house had fioated from Vine street to the
foot Of the mountains. Mrs. Fredericks
says her experience was terrible. Hun
dreds of men, women and children are float
ing down the torrent to meet their death,
some praying while others are raying. The
sad story is not without deeds of heroism.
Inc appalling scenes of horror developed
daring courage where it was least expected.
While everyday heroes in the midst of ter
rifying scenes have usually degenerated to
towards. Those who viewed the frightful
scenes of fire and and food agree that the
hopelessness of the situation was first fully
realized by the women, and that by the
tender sex was exhibited that dauntless
courage born of resignation. Mothers
calmly sacrificed themselves to the fury of
the Hood or ire to save the lives of their
children and loved ones.
Edward G. VIII, young foundry-man
OF Cambria, twcnty-seven years old, whom
no one suspected of possessing more than
ordinary courage, when the flood was at its
highest and people floating down the rush

boat and senseless to the pleadings Of his
wife and relatives showed the frail craft
far out into the angry current, and gliding
readily along the sides of a floating roof
upon which a woman and two children
were kneeling with blanched faces, skill
fully evaded the Instructions that every
minute threatened to crush the shell craft.
and lifting the terrorized creatures to the
boat shot across the current back to the
bank whence he came. A shout of applause
