BELLlGERENT KANSANS.
A County Seat Dispute Likely to
Lead to Trouble.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. S.-Adjut. Gen.
Roberts, who went to Garfield county,
Kan, Monday to investigate the threat
ened county seat war there between the
two towns Of Ravenna and Eminence,
returned to-day. He reports that when he
arrived at Eminence he found that a
company of 100 armed men had been
organized to proceed to Ravenna, the
present county seat. to remove the rec
Ords and money in the treasurer's office
there to Eminence. They represented
to Gen. Roberts that the treas
ureT, who is an Eminence man,
was afraid that his life would be
endangered if he attempted to longer
transact his business in Eminence. The
treasurer denied this, and then it be-
came known that their representations
were only ruse to divert Gen. Roberts
suspicion. The latter commanded the
organization of armed men to dis
band, and the command was obeyed.
He made them promise to raise no
{ disturbance, at least until the county
seat question is settled in the courts.
He has no hope that the promise will
not be broken. and he reports the eX-
element over the matter and the bitt r
feeling of the two towns for each other
is Liable to lead to a conflict at any time.

Stories of Men Who We're Victim
Or Witnesses in the Case.

Stories of Men Who We're Victims
or Witnesses in the Case.
w. L. De Celle, an attorney having
Offices in the GLOBE building, who was
on the sleeper at the time, says:
1.-The first intimation [ had that there
was anything wrong was when the cur
tains of my berth were yanked apart,
and looking up l saw man standing
over me with a revolver. L asked him
what he wanted, and he replied: Lie
still, darn you, and give me your
money! / made slight movement
with my right arm. when the robber
interposed with, Look out there; don't
try to get your gun or I'll pull The
fellow got my silver watch and some 81
or So in money"
AN EDITORS VERSION.
W. A. Rublee, city editor of the Mil
waukee Sentinel, and DR.. E, Gurnsey,
of New York, were both occupying
berths in the sleeper at the time Of the
robbery. Speaking to GLOBE re-
porter about the affair, Mr.. Rublee said:
II was asleep during the greater part
of the performance, but was awakened
by the loud talking between the road
agent and Mr.. Crandall. The latter
was very aggressive in hisremarks, and
! expected to see him shot every min
ute"
Jacob Lift, the well-known theatrical
manager of Milwaukee, who was also
awakened by the porter of the sleeping
car, and asked if he had gun, says the
fellow looked like lumberman. Every
one on the car was very much excited,
and the fellow did just about as he
pleased. If it hadn't been for the por-
ter he would have gone through the
train.
PARKER SAW 1T ALL.
Charles A. Parker, treasurer of the
luckiest of the crowd in the sleeper.
The first thing l heard" said Mr..
Parker yesterday, was very loud con-
versatiOn between A. &. Whitney and
the man in the mask. The nature of
that conversation at once convinced me
that my friend Whitney was being held
up. Now, my berth was just across the
car, and felt pretty sure that it would
be my turn next. So | hid my diamond
ring inside the mattress, and good
part of my money, leaving my watch
and $50 for the thief, if he came my
way. He passed me, though, and went
to another berth, asking the occupant
for his money. The man in the berth
said, in very sleepy voice, Go to hell,
will you? The conductors got all my
money!"
The robber then told him to keep
quiet OF he would pop him, to which
the sleepy man replied, 'Hll go you,
and in moment was snoring at ire
mendouS rate. AS soon as the man
had dropped from the train it was funny
to see the fellows who had
BEEN SOUND ASLEEP
in their berths during the shooting and
shouting awake i'll sudden surprise and
wished they had seen the blackguard.
IF l had only had gum said tall
man, whose CHASTITY face and shaking
knees while the robber was in the car,
were a picture, III l had only had a
gun, would have dropped that fellow
right in his tracks,
81 tell you what" continued the
theatrical man, sit doesn't make bit
of difference how courageous man is,
when he is awakened in the middle of
the night by the pressure of gun
against his forehead, he won't try to
argue the point for a moment. He'll
shell out just like lots of good men
have done before him."

Deadlock in the Helena Conve


Deadlock in the Helena Conven-
ton Over the Capital Question.
HELENA, Mont, Aug. S.-The dead
lock in the convention over the capitol
question was continued this morning
without change. 1t is now apparent
that the opposition to Helena from the
west side delegations is earnest. ANY
thing to beat Helena, lis their general
cry. Amendments followed each other
rapidly all morning. The following
towns were voted on for the capitol and
defeated: Anaconda, Great Falls and
Billings. BOZeman won on the last bal
lot of the morning-36 to 31-and re-
cess was taken until 2 o'clock. In the
afternoon the capitol question was re-
sumed. After heated debate Boze-
man was defeated and MiSSoula was
substituted by vote OF 81 to 80. This
was again amended by substituting
Anaconda for Missoula by vote of Sc
to 50. A motion to strike out the pro-
vision relating to the location of the
capitol was then carried, and this leaves
the capitol at Helena for the present.

ON HER BEAM ENDS.
The Steamer Montreal Ashore at
Belle Isle.

QUEBEC, Aug. s.-Capt. Bentley, of
of the Allan line steamer Assyrian, ar
rived here to-day. He reports that on
Monday last as the Assyrian was sailing
into the straits of Belle Isle she was sig
nailed by the lighthouse keeper that the
Dominion line steamer Montreal was
ashore. Coming into the straits the
wrecked steamer was seen lying on her
starboard beam ends, and only small
portion of her hull could be seen out of
water. A great number of icebergs
were floating about the straits and pre-
vented the Assyrian from taking safe
position to offer the shipwrecked people
any assistance. Capt. Wall, of the
Montreal, with his crew and passen-
gers, numbering in all about sixty per-
sons, were ON the island of Belle Isle
awaiting help. He went on board the
Assyrian. He said that on Sunday, the
4th instant, he was sailing through the

Year,

HAVANA, Aug. S.-Among the last
mines discovered and registered at the
government offices are two of mercury,
covering a surface of fifty acres, and
one of anthony of about 100 acres.
They are not being worked owing to a
lack of capital. According to the Sagua

tablish near Encrucijada several large
central tobacco plantations. The report
that the syndicate would conduct cen
trail sugar estate was incorrect. The
custom receipts at Havana for the
month of July were SS79,217, against
$3.50, 279 in 1888. The crop of sugar at
Manzanillo amounts to 413,545 bags. of
which 256,745 were shipped directly to
New York and 10000 by way of Glen
fuegos. According to statement Just
published at MatanZaS the crop of 1885,
SO amounts to 544, 300 tons of sugar and
$3.50 tons of molasSes, against 647, $50

of existence among the poor and the
tendency of destitute foreigners to

IT MAKES THEM WEARY.

French and Russians Annoyed at
the Kaiser's Reception in Eng
land.
LONDON, Aug. s.-The Russian and
French press take no pains to conceal
the annoyance which seems to be felt
in both countries at the warmth with
which Emperor William was received
in England. But great as is the annoy
ance, the surprise is greater yet at what
they speak of as the veering of English
opinion. They evidently expected that
the young emperor would be hooted at
and reviled by John Bull, or at least
that the GOODNESS of his reception would
be sufficiently marked to leave its i'm
preston upon the future relations of
the two powers. Entirely disappointed
in this expectation, the French press al
most universally, and the Russian very
largely, rush to the other extreme, and
proclaim their suspicious that England
and Germany are on the point of con-
Guiding an alliance offensive and de-
fenSive.
