GILLIAN REBELS
ARE GREATLY EXCITED OVER THE AMERICAN
ADMIRAL'S ACTION.
TO Take the Itata Without Allowing Fer to Dis
charge Her Arms and AmmunitiOn-Rspcrts
Current that the Schooner Did Land Five
thousand Rifles and Supplies.

IoUIoUE, June 7.-There is great ex-
citement here over the decision OF the
American Admiral to take the Itata
without allowing the discharge Of her
arms and ammunition. The pressois
very bitter and considers that the Uni
ted States, the recognized cradle OF re-
publican ideas, commits graver error
in thus directly assisting the Dictator.
ELNaciondl in an editorial says: "We
know we have the sympathies of the
people of America, also Of the people
of all other other civilized nations, but
the act of the United States Govern
ments against a weaker power in arms
for liberties and rights is not in harm
ony with the traditions OF that govern
ment.
The article concluded: "Let the
Americans take our ships and our arms,
but let them reflect that they leave
nailed in the hearts of 100000 men
sentiments of having been deceived in
their hopes, and of having lost faith in
the nobeness of mind and iberalitY OF
sentiments of the government at Wash
ton"
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Information
has been received in this city from Chill
to the effect that the insurgent schoon-
er Itata before proceeding to Iquique,
from 'Tocopilla, landed at the latter
place 1000 rifles and a large amount OF
supplies.

Twenty-Three knights of the Road TAKE
Possession ofa Freight Train.

COLUMBUS, IND, June 7.-Twenty-
three tramps raided the south bound
freight due here at o'clock a. m. at
the Belt crossing Of the Louisville
division of the Pennsylvania line at In
dianapolis, last night, and, overpower-
ing the train men, ran the train to suit
themselves, The officers OF this city
were wired as to the situation, and
when the train arrived at half-past
3 o'clock, posse was at the
depot to arrest the toughs and reseize
the train. Upon the arrival of the train
here the tramps congregated in box
car, and when the officers attempted to
raid the car they were met by a volley
OF shots, which was hotly returned.
After half hours skirmishing the Of
ficerS succeeded in arresting nine of the
tramps, and they are in jail here await
ing hearing next Tuesday. They
gave their names as James Harrington,
Harry RodnerS, George Sutton, James
Bundy, Frank Bishop, George Wallace,
Ed Dahn, Harvey Cordell and Thomas
Slavin, and they claim to hail from the
States OF Ohio, Illinois and Mississippi
Very little could be learned from them,
except that they are on their way TO
Seymour to attend big celebration, and
also that they intended to work the
Southern Indiana racing circuit.

THREE CORPsEs UNCOVERED.
Shocking Find OF Some Well Diggers Near
Crown Point, Ind.

LAPoRTE, md, June IA CHASTITY
discovery was made yesterday in
excavating for a well near Crown
Point, Lake county. When about six
feet down the workmen came upon the
badly decomposed remains OF man,
woman and child about six years old.
Decomposition had removed an posi-
bility of Identification. The skulls OF
the three victims had been crushed In
with some blunt instrument. The MUIR
der is enveloped in the greatest mys-
terry.
1t is thought, however, they were
emigraDts on their way West. The
bodies had been dumped head foremost
in "a quickly constructed ditch. The
only possible clue TO the dark deed is
the sudden and mysterious disappear
ance OF two men who had hut in a
stretch Of timber land near by,
and followed the occupation OF wood
chopping. The bodies were close to-
gether and not vestige OF garment
remained to conceal their nakedness.
After foully numbering the entire fami-
ly, every bit Of clothing had been re-
moved. Other bodies have been found
in the immediate vicinity.

Snrinting Record Broken.

PRINCETON, N. j., June Luther
Cary, the crack sprinter OF Princeton
College, who will sail for Europe next
week to compete with the English
champions, broke the worlds record in
the hundred yards dash to-day. Cary,
who by the way is Western boy, has a
habit OF smashing records. In the late
intercollegiate games he beat the
worlds time for the 220-yards dash, and
on several other occasions has, accord
ing to the timers, broken all records in
the 100. yard dash. AS his time was
often claimed to be unofficial, Cary has
not been credited with his really won
derful performances. Yesterday, after
the track had been accurately measured,
and with four wellknown time keepers
holding their watches, he ran 100 yards
in 9A seconds.

1Copyrighted by Nev York associated Press.
PARIS, June THE Chinese Lega-
tion has received an official note issued
at Santiago, by the so-called Delegation
Congress, representing that the reyolu-
tion is without moral authority; that
the insurgents OF Tarapaca lack author
ity and have no means with which to
make an expedition into the populous
part OF Of Chilli, and that the army OF
the overnment numbers 10000 soldiers
and 10000 gendarmes, well equipped
and disciplined, while the revolutionary
army consists of only 5000 demoralized
men.
The Anarchists attempted to make a
demonstration this afternoon in front OF
the Montmartre Basilica. Two hun
dred men, carrying banners and numer-
Gus wreaths, assembled near the Bas-
ilica tor the purpose OF laying votive
wreaths on the spot where the Varlin
Communists were shot in 1871. The
police stopped the paraders and tried to
seize their wreaths. The ensuing
tumult alarmed the crowd Of worship
ers within the Basilica, and services
were suspended until quiet outside was
restored The police succeeded in dis
persing the Anarchists, six of whom
were arrested.
Col. Lebel, the inventor of the Lebel
rife is dead.
Catulle Mendes fought duel to-day
with M. Hubert, editor OF Gil Bias. The
weapons were pistols, and two shots
were fired by both men, neither OF
whom were hit.
Baron Mohrenheim, Russian Ambas-
sador of France, at the request OF Pres
ident Carnot, sounded the Car as to
how he would receive an invitation to
visit Paris. 1t is reported that the
Car responded by asking Baron
Mohrenheim whether the Nihilist COL
ony in Paris had disappeared since the
murder Of Gen. Seliverstoff. The snub
was keenly felt at the Elysee.

BRANDING SYRACUSE FRESHMEN.
Initiation Ceremony That HOrrified
Farmer in the Outskirts of the Salt

City.
SYRACUSE, June IA dark hollow
between two hills half mile from the
southeastern boundaries of the city was
lighted up last night by the lurid glow
of big bonfire. A farmer, who
chanced to go to one of the hilltopS in
search of stray cow, saw ghostly
shapes in black and white habiliments
dancing in wild orgy about the fire
and shrieking in demoniac glee as hu-
man beings, apparently bound and gag
ged, writhed on the grass. Horrited
by the spectacle, he hurried to the near
est farmhouse for assistance, and num-
Der of men hastened back under his
guidance.
The spot was reached, but only the
glowing embers Of the fire remained.
The turf about was trampled down by
as many feet, and ropes and bits Of
chain were scattered about on the
ground. Three or four bones were
found by one of the party, but it is
hardly thought that they are human
bones. The trees and shrubbery were
smeared with green paint. The farm
ers followed the tracks through the
fields for a distance, but soon lost the
trail in the darkness.
The explanation given Of the strange
proceedings is that the hazing society
at Syracuse University, Theta Nu Ep-
silon, which was supposed to have been
suppressed two years ago, was out on
one of.ts annual freshman-killing excur-
sions. Their tortures are said to be un-
usually severe, and are accompanied by
weird and grotesque ceremonies. Every
candidate for admission to the order is
painted over his entire body with green
paint and branded with the letters OF
the order on the small of the back. A
number of colleges have tried to sup
press the organization, but only with
partial success. The Syracuse Univers-
ity faculty announced two years ago
that members of the society would be
debarred from receiving hoDors, but one
Of the speakers at the coming Com
nencement is said to have been the chief
factor in last nights reVel.

Slavin-Kilrain Fight.

will be the meeting between Frank +.
Slavin, the Australian heavyweight,
and Jake Kilrain, who once posed as the
worlds champion. The result of the
fight will have no influence on the pres
ent status of the ring, because it does
not involve any title or will not be to II
finish. 1t is TO be a ten-round contest,
and will occur in the Granite Club
Rooms, in Hoboken, n. j., on the 10th
of this month. The contest, however,
will give a line on Frank p. Slavin's

The Arrangements for the Funeral OF
Canada's Late Premier.


OTTAWA, ONT, June 7.-Ottawa is
the city of mourning to-day. Every
where are seen signs OF the general sor-
row felt at the loss the Nation has sus-
tanned in the death of Sir John Mac
Donald, one OF her greatest sons. Flags
are flying at half-mast from the Parlia-
ment and other public buildings, and
also many private houses, some OF
which are draped with Grape. The
United States flag is floating at half
mast at the United States Consulate.
The remains of the dead leader were
embalmed this morning. The embalm-
ers say Sir Johns body was less enact
ated than was generally supposed.
The caskes in which the remains will
be inferred was made in West Meriden.
Conn. 1t is OF rolled steel and is paint
ed a beautiful rose color. The massive
handles consist Of solid bars Of oxdized
silver and extend along both sides OF the
coffin. On the lid are three large silver
figures emblematic of the light of time,
in white silk. The outside OF the
casket is made of solid oak and also dis
plays heavy silver hankles. The in
scription on the silver plate has not yet
been engrossed.
The official programme of the funeral
arrangements is as follows: The body
will be privately moved from Earnscliffe
to the Parliament buildings and will
lie in state there from 10 o'clock Tues
day morning TO the hour OF the funeral.
The State funeral will leave the Parlia-
ment building at l p. m, Wednesday,
for Saint Adams Church, and thence 10
the Canadian Pacific Railway station,
wheace the body will be conveyed TO
Kingston. The body will lie in state at
the city hall, Kingston, until Thursday
noon, when the interment will take
place.
At this writing the Governor has not
sent for any of Sir Johns colleagues 10
form a ministry.
Queen Victoria to day cabled from
Bamoral to the Government that she
was deeply panied to learn OF Sir Johns
death, which she regarded as great
loss to Canada and the sovereign. Her
majesty extends her heartfelt sympathy
TO Lady Mcdonald in her bereavement

ABAsE B,LLIsT's BREAK.
A West virginia Player Forgas His
Managers Name.

CINCINNATI, o., June -.-George
Campbell, aged twenty-five, who gives
his occupation as that OF shoemaker,
was arrested by Detective Toker, at 20
Pleasant street, last night and locked
up at the Central Station as a fugitive
from the Court of the Blind Goddess at
Huntington, w. Va.
Campbell is possessed OF some skill as
a base ball twirler, and thinking to amass
a fortune quicker by chasing the bound
ing sphere over the diamond greensward
than by jollying up ancient foot-gear,
signed a contract with Manager Ingram,
of the Huntington team. He failed to
fulfill the conditions Of the contract
and in addition he forged the name OF
Ingram to check for S25. He then
fled to this city. Mr.. Ingram learned
of Campbell's presence here and pro-
cured warrant for his arrest. Con-
stable w. b. Mccall arrived yesterday
and swore out warrant in the Police
Court. This warrant was served by
Toker last night and the fugitive was
arrested. He will be returned to
Huntington.
