made no speech as was expected, but with

Will BE Confess the
Whole Plot?

CHICAGO, August Martin Burke, the
Cfonin suspsct, paced his cell in the Ar
mory until one o'clock this morning, when
he lay down his board couch and slept till
the hundreds Of nondescript prisoners
were being fed and led out of their cells
preparatory for trial in the Police Court
above. When ne arose he looked in a
wondering sort of way at the great num-
Der of prisoners filing past his cell and
aeked what it all meant. When told he
said: cob, yes; drunken fellows and
scrappers, eh?" He did not relish the
Armory fare aud made very light break
fast. He looks pale. He ia kept in per-
feet seclusiOn and is not allowed to speak
to any one except his guard. Even his at
torney is refused access to him.
BURKE IS WEAKENING.
Burke was photographed this afternoon,
and was subsequently talked 10 by States
Attorney Longenecker and Chief of Police
Hubbard. From their words and actions
subsequently, the inference was drawn
that Burke had made some valuable ad-
mission. The chief would neither admit
nor deny the truth of this inference.

A WISE SELECTION.
Prof VIM. T. Harris, of massaohusetts,
Commissioner OF Education.

Commissioner Of Education.
WASHINGTON, August 6.-The Balti-
more Sun correspondent telegraphs his
paper as follows: The President and the
people are TO be congratulated upon the
selection OF Prof. William T. Harris, of
Massachusetts,, to be commissioner Of edu-
cation. The position is one OF incalcul-
able capacity for good or evil influence
upon the public school system and indi-
rectly upon the moral and intellectual de-
velopment Of the future citizens and vo-
tiers. Prof. Harris, in addition TO the at
tainments Of highly cultured scholar,
possesses all the advantages which long
experience as teacher and superintendent
affords. Besides these qualifications, he
10 also distinguished as an author, and
among educators is recognized as one of
the best equipped and most conservative
of those who have devoted their lives to
the philosophy and practice Of pedagogy.
DR.. Harris was ut one time Superintend-
ent of public schools in Missouri, and
subsequently President OF the Concord
School of Philosophy. He WAS very prom
inent for years at the ANIMAL meetings Of
the National Association OF S ;hool Superin-
tendents, and his views and opinions have
had much infiuepcs in developing our pub
lie school Systems, and in the adoption
and improvement of our methods Of edu-
cation.

THE LAND WAR.
Detalls Of the Shoe Ing of Richard winlock
I'm Randolph County.

BEVERLY, W. VA, August 4, 1889.
To The Editor Of lie Register:
SIR For years land spectators, it is
alleged, have been troubling the settlers en-
the head Of the Buckhannon and Middle
Fork rivers with bogus claims to large
areas of land, threatening them with law
suits and soaring them out of money to
quiet their titles. Others have in the
same way added to their discomfort, and
threats of killing surveying parties have
ffequeatly been made.
For the last two years man by the
name Of Bennett. from Pennsylvania has
been making maps and claiming o
.arge boundary. After completing his
plOts ald maps he returned TO Penn
sylvania and, haviog been warned away
himself, he sent out q party to complete
the survey and locate the land.
On Thursday last the party, with the
comfy surveyor, entered on the lands in
dicated on Jenks' Iup, near the line be-
tween Randolph and Upshur counties.
They had not gone far when they noticed
in various places mems tracks where they
had passed and repassed and then stood
around, evidently watching the surveyors.
~ the stquel proves.
Passing on to locate the lines three
rifle shots rang out on the air in quick
succession, when Mr.. Winlock, Of Penn
sylvanis, who was in charge of the sur
yeyiDg party, fell dead at the feet Of
Nicholas Marstellor, the County Surveyor
of Randolph county.
Mr.. Wiplock was about 20 years Of age,
c man Of some means and Scotchmsn
and very intelligent. He passed several
days in Beverly and made many personal
acquaintance. Nothing further is known
here of his family, and the weather being
warm he was hastily buried near Twins
mills in Upshur county. An inquest was
held, but no clue to the perpetrators of
the act so far as known found.
OF course no one cOuntenauces murder
such as this, but the humble settlers il
that region have been gosded to despera-
ton By manufacturers Of wild cat titles,
seskipg to evict them from homes which
they have earned by hard and honest toll,
aud harrnssing them with law suits which
they are financially unable to defend.

Contract for Lock No. S-The Other Locks
on the River.
BALTIMORE, August 6.-The contract
obtained by G. J. Mcdonald, of this city,
for constructing lock No. S Of the great
Kanawha river improvement will require
two wears for its execution. The lock Is
a part Of the Improvements which have
been in progress for fifteen years. Owing
to the varied dep.h of the great KsnawSa
river at different times and PLACES, naviga-
ton on it at all periods OF the
yesr was impossible. The i'm
movements made and contemplated
are for the purpose of giving the river at
least a depth of six feet, so that the min
erals which are iouud along its banks can
be carried to marke; by boats during the
entire year. Already seven locks have
bseu constructed, esch about 300 feet by
So teet. aud over Sl0O0,000 has been
sxpandsd. Mr. Mcdonald will receive
sl23 q35 for lock No. s. This lock ia to be
of masonry, 3l2 feet long between quoins
and 50 feet wide in the chambers. 1t
will be built on solid rock from seven to
eight feet below extreme low water mark
The contract includes the entire completion
of the rock ready for the lock gates and
the erection Of a movable dam. Several
of the locks already constructed have
movable dams, which can be lowered
if it is deemed necessary. All the
work is TO De under the supervision OF
the local or residen. engineers, and
the United States has the right to ap-
point an inspector of the entire work.
Lock No. 3 is on the left bank OF the
great Kanawha river, about one-iourth Of
a mile above Plymouth Station, on the
Kauawha ard Ohio railroad, and twenty
two miles below Chsrlertoa. Work will
begin within ten days and the contract
must be completed in two years. T1e

Force Cookers to Quit Work at the Rsiney

CoENELIsvILLE, PA, August 6.-Tbis
afternoon mob, composed mostly OF Hun
garians, from the works on the Mt. Pleas
art Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio road
went 10 PAUL works Of w. ]. Rsiney, on
the west side Of the Youghiogheny river
and drove the men from the works. They
also drove laborers out who were at work
ON the new ovens there. T. J. Mitchell,
the General Superintendent, was in the
engine house at the time. He kept the
mob at bsy by a revolver. No one was
hurt, nor was damage done to the works.
The crowd then proceeded to the Clsrlssa
mines, and on their way paced the Nellie
works, where the men took TO their heels
on seeing the approach OF the meu. AZ
Clsrissa the men were forced out, as well
as lsborers at work on q reservoir. The
Huns composing the mob were drunk and
wild with anger, and the men only escaped
injury by running away.

HALSTEAD'S AMBITION

Made Light of by Ohio Republicans-Dsa-
con Smiths Game.
CINCINNATI, August G.-The nomina-
tiol of Murat Hslsted by his paper as a
Senatorial candidate is now interpreted
here as shrewd scheme upon the part OF
his partner, Richard Smith. The demon
stration at Music Hall Saturday night in
honor of Mr.. Halstead WAS an evident disap-
pointment to those who train with Mr.. Hal
stead politically and has given rise to the
opinion that it was merely ia the line OF
an effort to put the editor sin hole"
Mr.. Smith is accredited as much as any
body else with desire to secure the dis
comfiture of his associate in business.
II alstead and Smith have never agreed
since the day they consolidated their pa
pe5s, the Gazette and Commercial. and the
Deacon discovered that "the Field Mar
shall" had outwitted him by securing .
controlling interest Of the stock.
When Halstead went to Europe he in
stalled his own son ON the tripod end
called in Correspondent Fred Massey rs a
kind of consulting adviser OF the young
journalist. Thai was another blow.
When Deacon Smith nominated Halstesd
the other day no one supposed he was Sc
ricus or sincere. But when Gov. Foraker
was announced as one Of the participants
in the reception there wa q loud guffaw
1t was foIegone conclusion that the er-
ratio and brilliant Governor would cut
shine every other attraction, and go 1t
proved
The crowd could hardly be restrained
from interrnptiDg the EDITORS speech, so
anxious were they to hear Foraker. When
the Governor did reveal his magnetic pres
encs he devoted most of his effort to 3 plea
for a third term and to explaining his po-
sition with reference to the Sunday saloon
closing law. That, it is now claimed, was
the real reason for getting up big public
reception. 1t was merely the preliminary
opening of the campaign, and Halstead's
welcome vas simply the occasion ior an
ovation TO Foraker.

Chinese Fall on Each Other With Spears
and Knives-A Terrible Battle.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 6.-The Japan
Gazette, received by the steamer City Of
Peking yesterday, contains an account of
a terrible riot between two factions of the
Chinese Coolies at Sang Kong, Siam.
About s, 600 men engaged in the conflict.
Spears and firearms were used, and many
persons were killed. The Coolies were
more or less under the influence of liquor,
and fought like demons. Spears were
thrust into the bodies of wounded men,
and their bodies held sloft, the Coolies in
the meantime yelling hideously.
The Siamese troops charged the rioters,
and after bsyoneting a number of them,
quelled the disturbance and captured 800
of the rioters, who were afterward fined
and released.
