BOsTON, Oct. la Washington dispatch
to the Herald says: Col w. w. Rockhill,

retary of legation at Pekin, China, has just
returned to Washington from an exploring
tour of 500 miles through the eastern part
of Thibet. Half the country traversed had

he would rather make than go back to
Africa, it being now terra incognito. Col.
Rockhill. in making the tour. succeeded
where all others have failed. A private
gentleman. with no money but his own. he
has achieved. through American courage
and shrewdness, what English, French,
Russian and Austrian explorers, backed by
their respective governments, have failed
to accomplish.
1t was just because he was brave and
clever enough to go into the unknown and

and reaching the coast in Augus.. He wore
Chinese costume in China and on the
border. and o Thibetan costume in Thibet,

Chinese and Thibetan, and so was able to
make himself understood everywhere. He

The President Is Keeping His Campaign
Promise Concerning National Bank Funds.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. I-During the last
days of President Cleveland's administra-
ton the governments loans to national
banks increased to about S65,0OO,00O. Gen.
Harrison during the campaign promised
that the amount should be decreased, since
it was well known that most of the loans
were made to favor politicians and were
not in the interest of the people. That
promise is being fulfilled. The aggregate
has been decreased to about S47, ,000, 900 since
March. and before Congress convenes it
will come down much further, to probably
present. This money, as it piles up
in the Treasury, is being applied as rapidly
as possible to the purchase of outstanding
bonds. The extinguishment of the national
debt and the application of the money to
the purchase of bonds In the market is SO
greatly in excess of the reduction of the
loans to national banks that no fear can
the calling in of the loans will distress or
affect the money market. 1t may affect the
volume of operating funds of few national
banks, but it cannot in the least degree
make an impression upon the circulating
medium of the country. 1t is simply tax
ing the government money out of the
hands of national banks and putting it into
the pockets of bondholders, who will seek
borrowers. 1t is probable that President
HarrisOn's message to Congress In Decem-
Der will show that under his administra-
tion the loans TO national banks have been
reduced two-thirds and that by the end of
the present fiscal year, June So 1890. there
will be none outstanding.

WHO ASSAULTED THE NUN2
John Murry Proves an Alibi at Terre Haute-
A Very Mysterious Case.


TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 1.-The mystery
about the attempt to kill Sister Camille in
the school-room of the Sacred Heart Con-
vent, at Emporia. Kan, was deepened to-
day when the chief of police of that city
satisfied himself that John Murry, the
Vandalia railroad switchman, accused by
Sister Camille. was not in Emporia at the
time. Sister Camille was at st. Anthony's
Hospital here last fall. when Murry was a
patient. his hand having been crushed
while coupling cars. Since the attack in
Emporia. which nearly resulted fatally,
she has said that she was compelled to ask
to be relieved here. because of Murry's un-
welcome attentions also, that ON the 11th
of September he assaulted her in Emporia.
that she recognized him plainly, as she did
last Wednesday. On this last occasion
she was badly bruised, and unconscious
half day. Chief Wilhite said, after seeing
Murry to-day, that her description. even to
the crippled hand. was perfect. and he has
no doubt she meant Murry. Murry, from
the beginning. has denied ALL He even
Sister Camille went away. The sisters
here say that they never heard of any COM
plants from her, and that. in fact, she did
not nurse Murry, which Murry corrobo-
rates. When Chief Wilhite, with his requi-
sition, appeared here to-day Murry willing
ly went to court. Railroad officials rail-
road time-books and an abundance of testi-
m0ny was furnished to prove an alibi for
Aurry, and he was discharged. Chief Will
hite left for homo this afternoon satisfied
that Sister Camille is mistaken.

A DEFIANT CORONER'S JURY.
1t Considers Murder Case Under CompulSion
and Accompanies Its Verdict with Protest.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 1.-The singular
spectacle of coroner's jury defying the
coroner was witnessed this morning at the
resumption of the inquest in the LeConey
murder case in Camden. The authorities
at the two former sessions OF the inquest
had submitted evidence which they deemed
sufficient for the asking of verdict to-day.
1t appears, however, that few of the
jurors had determined among themselves to
compel the prosecution to show its hand
and place upon the stand its two star wit
nesses, Murray, the hired man of farmer
LeConey. and Smith, his neighbor Ed
ward Burroughs, foreman of the jury. is a
lifelong friend of Cbalkley LeConey, the
uncle of the girl. who is accused of COM
plicity in her murder. and has taken no
pains to conceal his interest in the sus-
Stanton Informed the jury this. morning
that there would be no further evidence sub
mitted. and directed the jurors to retire
and deliberate upon verdict, Burroughs
declared that the jury had not heard sutfi-
cient evidence to decide. Two other jurors
also objected to retiring without having adj
ditional evidence placed before them, and
Coroner Stanton, after exp0stulating with
them for while, finally called upon the
constable to "do his duty" After some
further parleying. the jury sullenly retired.
and at O'Clock, after an absence of about
four hours, returned with verdict and a
protest. The verdict, signed by the twelve
jurymen, was TO the effect that Annie Le--
Coney came to her death at the hands of
parties unknown to them. The protest,
signed by eight of the jurors. was that GER
tain evidence had been withheld from the
lufy by the coroner, and to this the jury OBJ
1ected. regarding 1t as an illegal action and
one which interfered with the discharge Of
their duty

his hat, and ran from the whip of the ex-

1883. ana, representing himself as a single
man, became engaged to a pretty sixteen
year-old girl. Miss Bruce. Rumor stated
that he was already married. and the en-
gagement was broken OFF. He then went
TO Denver, but returned in 1887; made love
to Mrs. Baron's daughter. and was about to

past month of September. The total debt.
less cash in the Treasury to-day, is 81 .070-
055, $50. and of this amount SS62. SOP is

or about three millions more than month
ago. National bank repositories hold s47.-
746,2S2 of government funds. or half

gold fund balance during the past month
has increased nearly $1,000, 900. and to-day
amounts to SlS9, 1876. 423, and the silver fund
balance, exclusive of 5000 900 trade-dollaI

From this should be deducted 81 .675. 900 in

from the Treasury are larger at this time

Details of the Recent Battle with the Blacks,
I'm Which Several Americans Were Killed.
BALTIMORE. Oct. 1.-The first authentic
information about the recent riots on
Navassa island was received last night In a
letter from DR.. G. D. Smith, the acting
superintendent of the Navassa Phosphate
Company, who, with c. w. Roby, the mine
boss. and one other official. the only sur
taken refuge on the British man-of-war
Forward, which came to their assistance.
DR.. Smith writes that on the morning of
the 14th inst. the negroes arose in insurrec-
tion and killed four officers, Thomas N.
Foster, Joseph Fales, James Mahon and
VIM. T. Shea. Roby was first assaulted
in the diggings and hit on the
head with clubs until left for dead.
He was found IN rock hole
under lot of wheeling boards. He was
removed to the house, and took part in the
battle with the black fiends, after having
thirty stitches taken in his scalp. He is at
present doing we'll. All the men congre-
gated in front of the superintendent's Of
flee and refused to work. When Mr.. Jones
attempted to arrest one of the ring-leaders
he was knocked down, and in a few seconds
bowling mob surrounded him. He man
aged to get to the house, where the officers
had sought shelter, through volleys of
rocks and other missiles hurled at him. He
took refuge in the upper story of the super
intendents house, and opened fire on the
mob. The letter continues: ''That battle
lasted three hours, with an occasional negro
wounded, when we were startled by the ex-
plosion of dynamite bomb, which they
had thrown on the lower porch. This was
soon followed by another. until there was a
continual roar of dynamite. These bombs
were exploding around and through the
house, on the porches and in the rooms ad-
joining the one in which we had sought
shelter. When we attempted to seek an
other shelter Foster was butchered with
pieces with axes. William Scott and James
Malone were also murdered. All the mur-
dered men are BaltimOreans. The negroes
still have possession of the island.
