the mills the men suffered terribly, and
in many instances had to quit in cOnse
Quence. A storm visited the city about
$3.50 p. m, which cooled the atmosphere,
and tonight is pleasant compared to the
two previous nights.

FRED DOUGLASS TALKS.
His Resignation Was Not Re-
Quested, He Saws.

Quested, He Says.
WASHINGTON. Aug. I1.-EX-Minister
Frederick Douglass denied, in an inter
view to-day, the statement that his res
ignatiOn as Haytien minister was re-
quested. ''In no MANNER" he said, ''did
either the president or the state depart
ment intimate that my resignation would
be acceptable. On the contrary, have
received only the kindeSt treatment
from both the head of the government
and the department. My resignation
was rendered on purely personal
grounds. The labors at Hayti had be-
come OnerOuS to me, as | fOreSaW would
be the case. and my resignation there
fore followed. AT the time l accepted
the ministry to Hayti l informed the
president that it would only be possible
for me to hold the position for two years,
and that then | should ask to be re-
lieyed. When | was here last year |
stated to the president that | would only
be able to Stay in Hayti one more year.
So, you see. there was nothing sudden or
forced about my yreslgning at this time"
MIR. Douglass said he had no COM
plants to make against the president
and the department of state, but he
considered he had full cause for griev-
ance against some others, and particu-
larly against number of newspapers
for outrageous statements regarding his
official work. At the proper time he
proposed to answer the charges. The
question of color did not, he believed,
add to or detract from his usefulness as
minister to Hayti. On the contrary. he
believed that his record and long labors
for the advancement of the negro race
AS to his future plans, Mr.. Douglass
said he was going to be free once more.

ARMS FOR INSURGENTS.
Supplies From Europe to Equip
Chilians.

IoUIoUE, July 13.-The congressional
steam transport MaipO anchored here
on the Sd inst. after forty-fve days ab-
sence. She brought large supply of
munitions of war, including Is
Krupp guns of different cali
Der and 1900 magazine rifles:
ammunition for all. 1t is not known
where they were embarked, but there is
little doubt they were transferred from
a European steamer near the Falkland
islands, the greatest care being taken
to prevent a repetition of the Itata
fiasco. The Maipo rugged up an extra
SmOkestack to prevent detection by Bal
maceda's ships.
The arms were at once served out to
the troops and an expedition left with
out delay to attack the government
forces concentrated in and around Co
quimbo. Heavy fighting ensued on the
9th, and the government troops
are reported to have had the
advantage until night set Bin,
when they we're outgeneraled by the
CongressiOnalists. Darkness, however,
prevented a decisive victory. The gov
ernnent troops are said to have retired
further south. Ell Nacional, Congress
sional organ, came out yesterday with
a Scathlng article against United
States Minister Egan, who, in a let
ter addressed to the Iquique
junta, expressed the opinion that it is
impossible for them to overthrow Bal
maceda. This incident, along with the
Itata business, has caused bitter feel
ing against the United States. Mr..
Egan's letter, and the reply of Minister
ErraZuriZ, are also published,

THE SIOUX WILL KICK.
Red Men Don't Want Their Pay

Special to the Globe.
CHAAIBERLAIN.S.D D., Aug. 11.-There
promises to be considerable kicking
when the government begins to pay the
Sioux Indians. for the lands ceded to the
United States about one and one-half
years ago. In all there were about
II, 100000 acres that the Sioux relin-
quiShed to the government. and i'll pay
therefor the Indians are to receive
various goods, such as plows, barrows,
COWS, horses and wagons. The Indians
are not pleased at the prospect of re-
ceiving this sort of pay for their lands,
and there is certain to be protest made
against paying them in goods that will
be of no earthly use to the majority of
the red men. They want their pay in
cash, and appear determined to accept
nothing else. II will be remembered
that the Indians in Wisconsin and Min
Desota recently protested against being
paid their annuItleS in agricultural I'M
plementS, etc., and their action was
would much rather have the cash than
the agricultural implements. In most in
stances the machinery and farming I'M
plements would be utterly useless, and
as the Sioux are ShreWd buyers they
prefer to receive the cash, and>if they
want any machinery or anything of the
kind they could buy it themselves. The
principal objection to the Indians re-
ceiving cash instead of goods would
arise from the Eastern contractors who
would supply the goods, but it is quite
probable that the indians will make a
determined effort to have the govern
ment pay them the cash. SO that they
can buy what they please whenever
they need it. The Indians are becoming
anxious that the government make ar
rangements TO pay them for their lands
at an early date, as it is now more than
one year since the reservation was
opened to settlement, and they have not
yet received single penny for their
lands. A large number of settlers have
settled on the lands since they were
opened to settlement, and the Indians
are entitled to S1.25 for every acre set
tied on during the first year that the
lands were upon the market. The In
dians are growing very impatient over
what they consider useless delay, and
their murmurs of discomfort will con-
tinde to grow louder unless the govern
ment soon takes some sort OF action.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 11.-Judge Bot
kin, in whose court Brennan, the mur-
derer of Col. Samuel Wood, will be
tried, is in this city. In regard to the
report that the sheriff had requested
the governor to send militia, he said
that if il is done there will be no court.

CHICAGO. Aug. II. - Tollman and
Downing, the officers of the National
Capital Savings. Building and Loan As
sOciatiOn of North America, who were
arrested yesterday, have thrown up
their hands and are doing all in their
power to aid the government officials in
Strengthening out the concerns ac-
counts. 1t seems probable that both
men will 90 free, as evidence so far
gathered indicates that they were more
duped than guilty. Attorney Lynden
Evans, who has been investigating the
associations" methods, has carefully
examined the books and has prepared
the following statement, showing the
receipts of the firm: Total received,
sS6.000; paid to local agents, $1,000;
loans and cash in bank. $4,000; Morti
mer'S commissions, $4,000; total, $685.,
600; to be accounted for. S23. 600.
J. 5. King, superintendent of Brad
streets commercial agency, Indignantly
denies the story that the agency had
given good reports on the association.
I'VE have given reports" said MIR.
King, but they were unfavorable. We
have been warning the people right
along. Many requests for reports have
been received, and we have always ad-
ViSed prospective subscribers to the con-
GERMS stock to go slow" In spite of
Lawyer Evans estimate that the sum of
only $4,000 has beeu taken in by the as
sociation. Postotfice Inspector Stuart
still adhereS to his former statement
that the stealingS will foot up to much
over 100000. About 600 letters con-
tanning drafts, checks and postal notes
were received for the association to-day,
and the money will be turned over to
the court. 1t is understood that a war
rant for the arrest of Louis I. MOrti-
mer, the head of the concern, has been
sworn out, and his arrest may be eX-
pected at any moment.
PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 1.-THE Ma
tiOnal Capital Savings Building and
Loan Association, of Chicago. had an
agent in this city named Il. P. Parker
up to about July first, when he dis
appeared. Itis Thought he got about
81, 900 from his victims.
DENVER, Col, Aug. 1.-THE career
of the National Capital Building and
Loan association in Denver was short
and ingloTious. Hundreds of victims
are out Of pocket and see no hopes of
getting even. The association estab-
lished an agency in Denver last sum-
mer, with George II. Parker as agent.
Of over seventy-fye applications for
loans but one of $500 was ever closed.
Things got SO bad that combination of
stockholders was formed to sue the loan
company. Nothing was ever done,
however. No definite idea Of the losses
can be obtained, but it Is safe to say
that they will greatly exceed $4,000.

TEXAS REFORMS.
Amendments to the Constitution
Adopted.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. 1.-THE
amendments to the constitution upon
which the people voted to-day were five
in number. The first provides for
the registration of all voters in
cities of 10000 inhabitants and over and
empowers the legislature to make
changes in the ballot laws. The Aus
tralian ballot system is at the bottom of
it. The second authorizes the legls-
lature to take one per cent of the per-
manent school fund and place it to the
credit of the school fund. The fact that
the public schools of Texas are not
kept open more than four months in the
year and the scholars are forced to wait
for their pay, is at tue bottom OF this
amendment.
The third provides that the legal rate
of interest shall not be more than 10 per
cent per annum, and in contracts where
the rate is not stated it shall be per
cent. The Farmers Alliance is at the
bottom of this. The fourth gives more
extended facilities for adopting
and enforcing the local prohibition.
The fifth provides for the creation of
additional courts and criminal appeals.
The polls closed at p. m. Advices
from all parts of the state show that all
the amendments have carried. The
Judiciary amendment would have been
defeated but for the fact that many of
the suffragists did not take the trouble
to scratch. The vote was about one
fifth of the usual amount.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 1.-THE latest

CARNATIONS are the shipping associa-
tions. They form part of the Alliance
plan for managing their own wheat
sales without the use of agents of any
kind, and three-the first charters of the
kind-were filed with the secretary of
state to-day.
VIM. Baker, congressman from the
Sixth district, who has just returned
from Minneapolis, gives the farmers
some advice on the Question of holding
their wheat, though the Alliance Advo-
cate. Congressman Baker quotes Mr..
Pillsbury as saying that there is no
reason why, under normal conditions,
farmers should not now be receiving
S1.25 a bushel for their wheat at the
farms. Commenting on this, the Advo-
cate says that the farmers are masters
of the situation if they hold their grain
for six months.

POLITICAL REFUGEES.
An American Steamer Said to
Harbor Them.


New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE superin-
tendent of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company was advised to-day by the com
pany's agent at La Lbertad, San Saliva
dor, that the City of Panama, which had
been detained on account of having
political refugees on board, had sailed
from that port direct TO San Jose de
Guatemala. The agent also stated that
the cargo had been discharged at La
Libertad, and that the commandante at
that port had refused to dispatch the
vessel.
Vice President Houston, of the Pacific
Mail Steamship company, said this
afternoon that he had received a dis
patch stating that the compaDy's steam
er City of Panama had been seized and
detained at La Lbertad by the authori-
ties of San Salvador because
there were political refugees on
board. The details are very mea-
ger, the dispatch having evidently
been "edited" with great care by the
San Salvador officials. Gen. LatOna is
passenger on the City of Panama. He
is political refugee, bound from Cor
into, Nicaragua, to San Jose de Guate-
mala. How this concerns the San Sal
Vad0reaps is not stated, but they de-

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 1.-THE prelim-
mary hearing of the men accused of
the murder of the late w. J. Penrose
began to-day. Five witnesses were ex-
amined for the prosecution, but nothing
has been developed that was not
brought out at the coroner's inquest.
The evidence thus far only proves the
cause of death and the finding of billy
near the scene of the murder. 1t IS evil
IDENTIFY the intention 10 trace the billy to
the defendants. At the request of the
counsel for defendants the Pinkerton
detectives from st. Paul and Chicago
were excluded from the court room
with the other witnesses during the
trial. The calling of the witnesses for
defendants shows that most of them are
members of the miners union, who will
doubtless assert that the defendants
were in the vicinity of the miners hall
at the time of the murder. The defend
ants Deeney, Hickey and Kelly, appear
cheerful and confident.

A WOMAN SCORNED.
The Old Adage Verified in a Kan
SaS Case

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 11.-Richard NJ.
JuvenaPs residence in Kansas City,
Kan, was wrecked by an explosion of
dynamite late last night. There were
in the house at the time Juvenal, his
wife and her sister and three children.
The occupants received a severe shak-
ing up, but fortunately escaped injury.
The explosion was a loud one, and its
force was felt fully ten blocks away,
many windows being broken. From all
accounts the deliberate attempt to blow
up the residence was made by a woman,
as she was seen to enter and leave by
the front gate few minutes before the
explosion occurred. MIR. Juvenal, who
has been twice married, said that while
he was getting divorce from his first
wife he kept company with Miss Pfaff-
mant and that when she learned he had
married again she sent him threatening
letters to blow up his residence. Miss
Pfatfman, who is suspected, has not yet
been located by the police.
The lady suspected was arrested this
afternoon. The evidence against her
was very slight, but she was held in
$3.50 bond on the charge of sending
threatening letters through the mails.

Hong Kong and Yokohama. Advices
from Hong Kong up to July Is state
that the fire of discomfort is still SmOul-
dering in North China, and occasional
riots are reported. The mission stations
near Canton are said to have been. at
tackled, but no particulars were re-
ceived. Two of the Wusueh rioters on
trial voluntarily confessed that they
murdered two foreigners during the
riots. The prisoners were accord
ingly sent back to the Kuangu-
schi district and executed July 5.
Their heads are hung up at Wusueh as
warning to othdr evil-doers. A CORE
spondent at Tien Tien writes under
June 90 that all is quiet there and no
trouble is feared. Comparative quiet
seems to have been restored in the
Yan-tse-Kiang valley, and several for
eign gunboats have left for other sta
tions. A correspondent at Tseing
Kiang, under date of June 27, writes
that the viceroy wrote to officials here
that the residences of foreigners should
be searched to see if they had any ba-
bles or

about. The Presbyterian mission wa
searched by an official, while a crowd of
excited natives waited outside. A mob
broke into the Catholic mission, but
were but out by the occupants. Mr..

Catholics nave large property interests,
many fine churches and a large or
phanage. Several of these have been
destroyed by the mob. At Fucheu Flu
rioters wrecked Outhouses, robbed the
churches and priests house and sacked
everything, but did not burn the build
ing. The damage done is not known, but
it is said the orphanage was not touched.
Soldiers were ordered ont and now pa
