MISS VINNIEDAVIS
BetrOthal of "The Daughter of
the COnfederacy"
To Alfred Wilkinson, a Young
Lawyer, of Syracuse.

The Prospective GrOom a Grandson of
Rev. sa nueI j. May. the Great AboIi-
tionist Leader-He ChampIonea Her
Cause When She Was Snubbed in SYRIA
cuse-Date of the wedding Not Known.
NEw YORK, April tl.-A special to
The Herald from Syracuse, N. Y, says
that the announcement is made there of
the betrothal OF Miss Winnie Davis,
daughter Of Jefferson Davis, to Alfred
Wilkinson, of Syracuse, grandson Of
the great aboltionist leader, Rev. Sam
uel j. May. Mr.. Wilkinson is young
lawyer, about % years of age, and
stands very high in the community.
He first met Miss Davis on the occa-
sion Of the visit of that lady to Syra-
cuse about four years ago. 1t will be
remembered that Miss Davis received a
very cool reception from one or two
families in Syracuse, and this treatment
is said to have brought her and Mr..
Wilkinson in very close relations. He
resented the coolness shown her, and
gallantly championed her cause.
The friendship thus engendered be-
tween them blossomed into love in due
time. Some two months ago Mr.. Will
kinson went to Europe to see Miss Davis,
and spent several weeks with her on the
continent. The actual time for the
wedding has not been set, but it is un-
derstood that the date will he in the near
future.

LONDON, April II. The Carlists CON
gratulate themselves for having forced
the hand of the republicans in Spain by
creating the emente in Valencia, and at
tracting the attention of the government
to the Liberals there.
Don Carlos, it is we'll known, has
agents at work in the Basque provinces,
where his principal strength lies, pre-
pairing his partlsans for q speedy up
rising there, but the French authorities
have shown themselves unusually vigi-
liant upon the frontier, and several as
tempts to introduce arms and ammuni-
ton into the frontier provinces have
simply resulted in the loss Of the ma
terial.
Still the scenes of violence at Valencia
have partially served their purpose in
furnishing the clerical party with an
excuse for appealing 70 all conservative
people against the assaults of the ire
ligious revolutionists who are bent on
overthrowing the government and the
church as well. Notwithstanding
rumors to the contrary, Don Carlos and
his son, Jaime, are still at Gratze, Aus
tria, but the correspondents there are in
a constant tremor of anxiety lest their
royal charges should give them the
slip.

Ku-KLUXERs WoasrEp.
A Young Boy Opens Fire on His Aged

Young Boy Opens Fire on His Aged
Fathers Assailants, Killing Two.
DoNIPHAN, Mo-, April 1.-Two of the
gang of four masked Ku-Klux who Wis
tied the residence of an old man named
Holland, living on the Fike place, near
here, for the purpose of whipping him,
were killed by Hollands 14-year-old
son.
Ed. Gillian, Jr., one of those killed,
was the son of a prominent well-to-do
farmer of that section. The other, Alex.
Gatewood bore an unenviable reputa-
ton. Upon the arrival of the Ku-klux
at Hollands house one of the gang held
the horses while the others forced their
way into the dwelling.
They knocked the old man down and
were kicking him, when the boy opened
fire on them with a double-barreled
shotgun, killing Gillian. Gatewood at
tempted to shoot the boy, but his gun
missed fire, and the lad emptied the con-
tents of his second barrel into Gate
woods breast. The man ran out of the
house, but Gatewood fell and lay all
night, dying shortly after he was found
in the morning. The identity of the
other Ku-Klux is unknown.

VERY INSECURE.
The Present Vaults of the United
States Treasury.
Penetrated by a Craoksman in
Sixteen Minutes.

The House Appropriations Committee
Agreed TO Appropriate sunscient
Money for the Construction OF New
Vaults-TreasureF Huston Says essT,-
600 Will ne Necessary.
WASHINGTON, April II. There was
hastily convened meeting of the appro-
priations committee of the house few
evenings since The meeting lasted only
few minutes, but in that time ii was
agreed to report favorably bill to the
house, sppropriating sufficient money to
build new vaults In the treasury building.
This hasty action was occasioned by
scare communication from Treasurer
Huston. He informed the COMMITTEES
that the treasury vaults were antiquated
and subject to the assaults Of any
cracksman. He also furnished some
statistics. When he assumed the treas
uryship he receipted for $I71 200, 900 to
his predecessor. At the present time
$3.50, ,000, 900 in gold and silver Is stored
in one vault and over S100, ,000, coo in sill
yer is Ia another vauit, while IN third
Ss50, 100000 in paper money is stored
away.
Some time ago Treasurer Huston
caused an experiment to be made. Ha
secured the services of man to com
NIT amateur burglary. In seventeen
seconds the man drilled hole in the
vault containing $3.50, ,OOO coo of paper
money, and in exactly sixteen minutes
he had hole made large enough to ad-
NIT his body. This exhibit scared the
appropriations committee, and in about
five minutes bill drafted by Huston,
making an appropriation for the build
ing Of new vaults, was approved. No
doubt the cracksmen throughout the
country, who have been laboring 80 long
and earnestly to penetrate first-class
modern safety vaults, win feed infinitely
disgusted when they learn what hanl
they missed by not taking the National
treasury. The appropriation asked by
MIR. Huston was $3a7 900.

NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS.
Chairman Bouteile Tells About the Task
Accomplished.

WASHINGTON, April II .--Representa.
tive Boutelle, chairman of the naval
committee of the house, speaking Of the
passage OF the naval appropriation bill,
Tuesday afternoon said;
THE bill has passed the house vir-
tually as IL came from the committee.
II appropriates little over $22, 900, 900.
The Salient feature of the bill is that part
which authorizes the construction OF
three battle ships and one armored
cruiser. The cost Of the battle ships is
limited to "a, ,000, 900 each, and the cost Of
the armored cruiser to S2,750, 900, the
lAtter's speed to be not less than twenty
knots per hour
"What caused the temporary defeat
of this feature of the bill last week was
this: At the beginning Of the session
Hale, chairman Of the senate naval COM
mittee, introduced a bill providing for
the construction Of eight battle ships,
two coast defense ships, three gunboats
and five torpedo boats involving an ex-
penditQre OF $50, ,000,0 900. This brought
an avalanche Of protests from the west
ern constituencies. Recently the senate
committee on naval affairs had the pol
icy boards scheme, involving an expedi-
ture OF $3.50, ZOO, 600 before them, and IL
was published In full by the press
"On Wednesday Of last week Senator
Hale gave notice in the senate that he
would move his hill as an amendment
to the house bill This was published
and the effect was to alarm the repre-
sentatlves of the western granger dis
trict, already waveripg That caused
the temporary check the bill received In
the house last week. To carry on the
construction Of the three proposed battle
ships and the arfnored cruiser and other
ships already authorized and TO COM
plete work already begun viii require
from 1000, 900 to Is, 900, 900 per year.
"As for the last four years our appro-
aged about S1,O0o,00o year, the In
crease is little II anything. But ono
thing is certain-this is about ali the house
will stand, and II the senate loads down
the house bill with big additions, the
whole thing may 20 by the board to the
great detriment and injury of the Amer
lean navy. know that Secretary Tracy
agrees with me as to this. It's better 10

stanley Corrected bv Em,n.

BERLIN, April 1.-THE National lei
tung publishes communication which
came indirectly from Emin Pasha, in
which he seeks to rectify the statements
recently made concerning him by Mr..
Stanley. 1t says that When Emin left
the equatorial province with Stanley he
was accompanied by few soldiers only,
but this because the period of twenty
days, which was fixed by Stanley as the
time for leaving the province, was too
brief to allow the men to be re-enlisted.
The communication further says that
Duite remained in the hands of the
Egyptians when Emin left. Stanley
brought them only twenty-six boxes Of
ammunition, when Emin had at that
time in his possession LEO boxes.

recede the beasts will revive to become

the crazy prophet, dies hard. He in
sisted Monday that the time for the
tidal wave, which was to have destroyed
San Francisco and Oakland, must be
extended to midnight, but Tuesday he
declared the destruction will come soon.
and warns his followers not to abandon
the hilltops until he gets fresh revela-
tions. Erickson fears the consequences
excuses himself by saying "God made
mistake in the date, and cites the Old
Testament story of the destruction of
Ninevah. Many of his followers are re-
turning, but it is probable that the ma
jority will remain in the hills few
days longer, as they fear the ridicule Of
friends.

arrived here Tuesday from Cheyenne
river, about seventy miles west of here,

that band Of Indians had gone on the
warpath, and were giving the agent at
that place considerable difficulty. 1t
seems that bad chief, Big Foot, with a
band Of about forty others, refuses
either to take up land or vacate for set
tiers.
The agent requested him to do one or
the other, and Big Foot commenced to
make trouble. Troops were sent for to
Fort Meade. Two companies of infantry
and three of cavalry were dispatched to
the scene and have succeeded in corner
ing the Indians. They have surrounded
the red men, and are awaiting orders as
to their disposition 1t is probable that
the whole band will be removed from
the reservation. Big Foot refuses to ca
pitulate and serious trouble is appre-
hended.

The PANAMA CANAL.
Its Completion Deemed Possible Under
Competent Direction.

PARIS, April 17.-At the Panama
canal lottery drawing, Tuesday, M.
Monchicourt, the hquidator, announced
that the report of the committee of in
quiry would soon be published, but he
said there could be no question of arrest
ing the liquidation in order to form new
company to complete the canal; the past
must be clearly repaired A new com
pany, administered by monof firm char
acter and integrity, with the work under
the direction of practical men, could
alone inspire confidence. He did not con-
slider the completion of the canal impos-
sible. The financial support which had
already been obtained would powerfully
assist the work when the situation had
been accurately defined by the commit
tees report.
A dispatch from Panama says: Things
are beginning to look less sombre. So
far nothing whatever is known concern
ing the report of the French commission
which recently investigated the condi-
tion of the canal here, as 1t will not be
made public until the 10th inst. That
an idea of the general nature of the re-
port has been given in advance, how
ever, seems certain, inasmuch as the ar
rangements for discharging most of the
remaining staff have been definitely
Cancelled. This incident has had the eff
feet of inteusifying confidence here in
the future of the Panama enterprise.
