GARDEN CITY, Kan, Jan. 25.-George
Short, of Eminence, Garfield County, who
had two little daughters aged seven and
nine respectively, married his deceased
wife's sister some time ago. Since then
his neighbors reported that the woman
had been in the habit of treating the little
ones in the most inhuman manner. A
few days ago the death of the youngest
child was reported. Foul play was at
once suspected and the coroner
was called upon to investigate. An
investie alton revealed the fact that the
child had been struck on the head with
something like spike. which penetrated
the skull to the depth of four inches. while
an arm was broken and the legs and back
were q horrible mass of bruises. Mrs
Short, being about to become a mother.

THE CRUISE OF THE BOSTON.

Guatemalan Civil Governor Compelled
tn Apologize for Indignitie< tt Our Com
sul-Things Found Satisfactory at Corn
Island.
New YORK, Jan. 23.-The Tribune this
morning says: The recent cruise of the
Boston seems to have been fraught with
diplomatic incidents of importance con-
corning which the public have been so far
ignorant. The Boston was first ordered
to Livingston, Guatemala, to investigate
the imprisonment of the American Con-
sui, which proved to have been the result
of q drunken freak of the civil Governor
of the province in which Livingston is stu
ated. The Consulwas released after having
been locked up for three hours. When
the Boston arrived, and her guns frowned
Overwhelmingly at the town, the Governor
made q most full and ample apology.
This matter having been satisfactorily
settled. the Boston was ordered to Corn
Island, off the coast of Nicaragua. This
island. is the key of the proposed Mica
ragua canal from military point of view.
Information had been received at the
State Department that the United States
of Colombo had set up some antiquated
claim to the island and had entered into
secret compact with France to
take possession of it and cede the
French Government a coaling station
there. This would enable France to COM
mand the eastern entrance to the Nicara-
guam canal. When the Boston reached
Corn Island it was found that the Mica
raguan Government had also heard of the
intended seizure Of the island, and had
sent a garrison there with instructions to
Che commanding officer to forcibly resist
any attempt to occupy the place by for
eien power. This relieved the United
States Government from any further ac-
zion in the matter.

A CRITICAL ERROR.
Tho Texas Electoral Returns Liable To Be
Left Out of the Count.

Tho Texas Electoral Returns Liable To Be
Left Out of the Count.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The Electoral
messenger from Texas, Mr.. Huling Rob-
ertson, presented himself at the Capitol
yesterday, and, accompanied by Senators
Coke and Reagan, visited Senator Ingalls,
in the Vice-President's room. When Mr..
Robertson offered the envelope containing
the Electoral vote of Texas, Senator
ingalls, glanced at it and remarked that
he could not receive it. The package was
not accompanied by a certificate of the
Electors as to the contents. That with
the signatures of the Electors, should have
been on the outside of the envel-
opes. As the Electoral count must
take place next Monday, the Texans
were somewhat staggered, the time
intervening being rather short for a return
trip to Texas. However there was no
alternative. The return brought by the
messenger might as well have been so
much blankapaper for all the purpose it
would serve. Senator Coke Immediately
telegraphed the Governor of Texas i'm
forming him of the fatal omission and adj
vising that he convene the Electors at
once and have them make out a return in
conformity with the law and require
ments. Mr.. Robertson started back at
2:3O yesterday afternoon the plan being
that the corrected returns shall be all
ready to replace in his hand Immediately
on his arrival at Austin. He will, with
out missing train, if possible, return to
Washington, hoping to reach here next
Sunday afternoon. -a-!
Should any thing occurr to interfere
with this plan or to prevent meeting Of
the Electors the vote of Texas will not
be counted. The Electoral votes of Mary
land and Delaware were deficient in the
same manner that Of Texas, and the
Electors of these States have been sum-
moned to meet at Annapolis and at Dover
to make out correct returns. But the ap-
proximately small area of these two States
make it comparatively easy to get the
Electors together. Ali the Congressional
certificates from Texas had to be sent
back for correction, as they did not follow
the prescribed legal form. Up to to-day
the returns have been received from
twenty States, leaving eighteen yet to re-
port, including the three whose returns
have been rejected. No returns, either by
mail or messenger, have yet been received
from Oregon or Nevada.

tween Running Deer, an Indian chief, aud
Captain Jack Crawford, the scout, the In.
dian was drunk, and attempted to kill
Crawford. According to the play, Craw.
ford should have taken the knife from the
Comanche. He refused to give it up and
made some vicious lunges. After a des-
perate struggle the scout got the upper
hand and pricked the Indian two or three
times in the side. threatening to kill him
If he did not give it up. After the play
the Indian escaped and the police are
looking for him, fearing that he may do
some harm. -st

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Jan. 25.-The Senate
Committee on Elections reported on the
Ray-Carpenter contested election case
yesterday. Carpenter, Republican, is the
occupant of the seat. The five Demo-
Gratis on the committee reported in
favor of unseating Carpenter and the
three Republicans voted against
the unseating. The majority report
charges that Carpenter secured his seat by
purchasing votes. The minority report
enters a general denial Of the charges and
takes the constitutional ground that even

MORE TALK
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The dispatches
from London and Berlin in regard to
Samoan affairs published in yesterday
mornings newspapers were shown to Sec
rotary Bayard at the State Department
in the afternoon with the view of obtaining
some expression of opinion from him on
the subject. His attention was especially
invited to the statements that Germany
has come to a definite understanding with
the United States with regard to Samoa"
and in response he said: "Of course ex-
pect Germany to live up to her honorable
agreements with the United States. /
have no right to think otherwise, but you
must know that these are matters 1 do not
care to discuss in the newspapers"
When asked in regard to the policy of
this Government, Mr.. Bayard referred the
questioner to the President's message to
Congress last week, and quoted from
his letter to the German Minister, dated
January II, and which was recently pub
lished, as expressive of his own views on
the subject.
The Secretary also alluded to the agree
ment entered into between Great Britain
and Germany in April, 1886. defining the
boundaries of English and German domit-
ions in the West Pacific ocean, in which it
was specifically declared that the Samoan
islands were neutral territory. The United
States, he explained, had no joint treaty
with either England or Germany in regard
to the neutrality Of Samoa. Therefore,
if Germany had interfered with the neu-
trality of that country she had not
broken the treaty with the United States,
but had broken one with Great Britain.

sMlNisTER PHELPS. RECALL

How the Action of tho United States Gov
ernment I'm Withdrawing Its Minister
From England II vIewad by UnPrejudiced
English Eyes-Mr. PhelRs' Departure
: Sincerely Regretted.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The Tribune's Lon
don special says: The American Minister
Monday afternoon had his last official in
terview with Lord Salisbury at the For
eign Office. 1 imagine, therefore, the
British Foreign Minister now UNDER
stands that the departure Of Mr.. Phelps
from England at this moment is not due
to the fact that Republican President
will be inaugurated next March. Lord
Salisbury knows that Mr.. Phelps would,
naturally, have remained here another
two months. The Foreign Office people
know it too, and they know that Mr..
Phelps goes home because the British LIE :.
CATION at Washington is vacant This
useful knowledge will gradually filter
down into the general English mind. 1t
will be understood here by the time Mr..
Phelps steps on board the steamer at
southampton. that the diplomatic afront
onered the American Government by Lord
Salisbury has been resented in the correct
diplomatic way. Mr.. Phelps conduct
throughout this difficult business has been,
so far as an outsider has means of judg-
ing, energetic in more directions than
one. He has shown firmness and
courage. He appreciated the delicacy
OF the situation from the beginning of the
Sackville incident and he has never,
think, varied in his view of what ought to
be done. Americans have to thank him
for his unflinching insistance upon an
American view. Americans in London
sincerely regret his going, and none more
so than those who have urged it as the
only means by which the American Gov
eminent could express it's opinion of Lord
Salisbury's conduct.
