INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 30.-The county
Jail, situated in the very cetter of the
city, was surrounded by mob of 300
infuriated people shortly before mid
night tonight, thirsting for the life Of
Charles Birsow, a ravisher confined
within its walls. The man is an all
around criminal, and his latest crime
was an outrageous assault on little
girl named Blanche Station, years Of
age. The Jail is fiimsy old structure,
easily entered, but the mob got no
further than the strong doors in the
office. At one time they were upon the
point OF giving in to the blows
OF sledge hammers, but the sheriff
and posse Of officers cleared the room
by hard effort. Once dispersed, the
backbone of the gang weakened.
The ringleaders held another meeting
within two squares of the jail few
minutes later. A plan is on foot now to
break into blacksmith shop and secure
more tools. An attack is likely to be
made later. A force of several hundred
masons, with lot of porkpackers, is
organizing in the southern part of the
city and will be at the Jail in two hours.
At 2:10 a. m. the mob has dispersed,
and large force of police is at the jail.

A MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION.
Three Buildings Demolished and Num-
Der of Lives Lost.

Three Buildings Demolished and Num-
Der of Lives Lost.
LANCASTER, Eng, Nov. 30.-A myste-
rious explosion occurred in the market
at Blackburn Place, thirty miles from
here, this morning, by which three
buildings were completely demolished.
Before the police could make thorough
search for dead, the ruins, which had
caught fire, were mass of flames, rend-
ering approach impossible. 1t is pretty
certain that any dead in the ruins will
be burned beyond recognition. Six
persons received serious injury in the
explosion, but it is difficult at present
to estimate the number of dead. Later
and more conservative estimates place
the loss of life at ten.
The explosion shook the whole CEN
ter Of the town. Hundreds of windows
were smashed and buildings in the
market place shaken to their founda-
tions. The first impression of the in
habitants of the town was that the place
was visited by earthquake, and great
excitement prevailed when the
cause of the shock was known,
and when it was learned that many peo.
pie were in the Crown hotel, the alarm
OF the citizens was intensified. Exagger.
ated reports were circulated as to the
number OF deaths. AT late hour to-
night the members of the fire brigade
are still energetically digging in the
ruins. So far five persons have been re-
covered. Ore dead body has been taken
out.

All QUONG TIA'S FATE.
THE GRAND JURY'S REPORT ON
HIS TAKING OFF.
The Peace Officers of Bridgeport Accused
of Wanton Neglect of Duty, Thereby
Bringing a Cloud of Shame and Dis
grace on the Community.

BRIDGEPORT, CAL, Nov. 80. = The
grand jury has returned lengthy re-
port of it's investigation of the death of
All Quong Tia, the Chinese who was tor
tured and cut to pieces by Indians. All
Quong Tia was charged by the coroner's
jury with the murder of Poker Tom, an
Indian, who was found cut to pieces.
The report says the justice of the peace
discharged All Quong from custody,
when the evidence was sufficient to hold
him, and that the prosecuting attorney
did not object when counsel for the de-
fense moved for dismissal against the
defendants wish, we'll knowing that his
client would be murdered if left unpro-
tected. The report finds that when the
defendant was discharged, the court re-
fused to give him protection, but left
the court room and announced
the result of the examination on
the street. Three or four Indians then
rushed into the court room, seized All
Quong, took him to the outskirts of
town and cut him to pieces alive. The
sheriff had positive knowledge of what
was about to occur, but refused to pro-
tect the victim unless paid for it. The
Indians, who were from the government
reservation at Walker lake, Nevada,
were encouraged in their criminal act
and abetted by citizens of the town.
: The report concludes that the peace Off
GERS OF this town utterly failed in their
duty, and have thereby caused "a
cloud of shame and disgrace to hang
over our people," The action of the
deputy district attorney is also severely
condemned. All Quong was born in
California, and consequently was cit
izen of the United States.

THE CoRNEB IN CORN.
The Chicago END OF the Deal Nothing
But Side Show.

u Ut u Siuo SnoWs
CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-A local paper says !:
The wind-up of the November corn deal
would seem to prove the assertion that
the Chicago end was nothing but side
show to the big corner in New York. 1t
is evident from the advance in the price
in New York to $1.10, against 70 cents
in Chicago, that some persons in the
former city are having the screw turned
on them mercilessly. 1t was a very
quiet, but very strong corner, shrewdly
manipulated. One hundred thousand
bushels of November corn defaulted
this afternoon at the end OF the board
of trade session. F.J. Ryan & 90. are
defaulters to the extent of 10000 BUSH
els, by reason of an injunction issued by
Judge Tulley, restraining them from
..iling the order of Harry B. Schlos.
He contracted to deliver November
crops when the price was 491a cents,
did not have corn stored, and when it
became necessary to pay 70 cents, he
brought an injunction suit, on the
ground that combination had
been formed and the price advanced to
an unlawful figure. The corn was con-
tracted to Lambson Bros, who in turn
sold. They expect to pay this mortgage
and bring suit against the Ryans. 1t is
rumored that Bloom & Eggleston are
among the defaulting firms. The firms
supposed to be in the deal are Bartlett.
Fraser & Co., G. M. Armstrong, E.
Andrews and Coster & Martin, New
York firm.
A dispatch from New York says: A
we'll known grain operator asserts that
there is no manipulation that the facts
are that there has been sudden big
demand for corn for export the last
thirty days, and the White corner
caused the supply to fall short
owing to the high prices at
which White put corn in the
Chicago market. When the price broke
corn ehipped to New York was shipped
abroad. The remaining corn in Chicago
fell in the hands of few buyers there,
who shipped it as fast as possible to FIJI
the New England demand. The conse-
quence was it left the Chicago market
short. 1t was heavily oversold. 1t was

people who held the corn made COM

THE spEAKEKsHIP CONTEST.

Five Candidates in the Field and All
Sanguine of Success.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 30.-With the be-
ginning of the last week before the meet
ing of congress representatives are flock
ing to Washington in increasing num-
bers. and their presence is giving re-
newed interest to the speakership con-
test. The situation is now beginning to
assume clear outlines, and interesting
developments may result any day be-
tween this and Saturday, on account of
the consultations which are now taking
place. All of the five avowed candi-
dates are now in Washington. The
views of the candidates show one un-
mistakable fact in the contest, namely /:
No one candidate at present has suf-
ficient number of absolutely pledged
votes to make his election certain. All
are sanguine OF their election. Repre-
sentative Hatch and party arrived late
this afternoon. Hatch stated to an As
sociated Press reporter that he was in
the race for the speakership in good
faith as representative of the state Of
Missouri and with the solid endorse
ment of the Democratic party there.
The headquarters of the various candi.
dates were crowded with friends until
late in the evening. There were no new
developments as far as known.

PEKIN IN GREAT PERIL
THE REBELLIoUs MANcHURIANs
NEARING THE CITY. u
Every Step Being Taken to Break Their
Strength Before They Attack the Cap
ital-Missionaries Warned to Flee for
Their Lives.

PEKN, Nov. 30.-The government is
fully aware OF the serious condition
which confronts it, and every possible
step is being taken to break the strength
of the rebels before they get within
striking distance of the capital. There
is much excitement here. The popula-
ton and the authorities believe if they
can infiict defeat upon the rebel forces,
it will have a good effect upon the peo-
pie of Pekin and vicinity. 1t is be-
lieved many people are secretly in favor
of the rebels, but should the imperial
forces do battle with the insurgents and
defeat them, the malcontents would
then side with the government.
No doubt is entertained that the situa-
ton is dangerous. Should the rebel
forces continue to advance toward the
capital, in spite Of the efforts of the inn
perial troops to prevent them, it is
feared by the foreigners who are in the
city that the population will rise and
aid the invaders. The garrison of Shan
kai-k ivan has been sent to suppress
other insurrectlonary bodies which
are marching in various directions
through the country, evidently with the
intention OF joining the main body.
The most serious condition of affairs
exists at Takou; this is the place where
most brutal outrages were committed
on priests, nuns and converts. What
act the government will take
in this matter is very hard to
say. That the authorities are in
full sympathy with the perpetrators
of these most horrible crimes, there is
no reason to doubt. The first reports
from Takou stated that after these tiends
had worked their bloody will on all the
Christian men, women and children
who fell into their hands, they were
feted by the leading Chinese man
darins in the district. 1t is now
said that the local mandarins
agreed to allow the rebels free
license for the outrage of the Christians,
provided they did no harm to other in
habitants. These terms were accepted
by the rebels and they pursued their
work without hindrance. Three hun
dred Europeans and native Christians
were massacred. 1t is believed no
Christians escaped.
CONSERVATION prevails among the
Protestant missionaries in the districts
through which it is expected the rebels
will pass. The local officials at
Tsunha have declared that they
are powerless to protect the
missionaries, and that if they de-
sired to save their lives they had better
seek safety in fight. The missionaries
at Tsunha have abandoned their sta
tions and sought refuge in safer parts OF
the country.

A Gorgeous Pageant.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 30. = One OF the
largest professions ever seen in this
country took place today, 30, 900 torch
bearing men turning out to do honor to
Archbishop Kenrick. Fifty two
parishes OF the city and many visiting
delegations marched past the arch
episcopal residence, each parish salut-
ing as it passed. There were hundreds
of transparencies bearing eulogistic
phrases. Each parish was accompanied
by band, and the whole effect was
something gorgeous. Governor Francis
and the city officials led the procession,
riding in carriages. 1t took the pro-
cession an hour and half to pass a
given point.

BERLIN, Nov. 30.-In the course of the
debate in the reichstag on the budget
today Richter criticised the publication
of imperial rescripts without a minis
ter's countersignature, especially the one
relating to public morals. 1t i'll
became the government, he said,
to talk of checking the course
of speculation while it per-
mitted state lotteries and race-betting.
Won Caprivi, in reply, said the consti-
tuition did not require ministers to
countersign acts of the. sovereign,
giving expression to his wishes.
The publication of such acts
in the Reichsanzeiger was mere
ly intended to record their terms.
AS to the Reichter's attacks on Bis
marck, he (Caprivi) made it point
never to read anything likely to alter
his feeling of veneration for his pre-
decessOr.

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-The Times has a

an official said today that his govern
ment has no intention of making an
apology or paying indemnity, as sug-
gested by the United States. The atti-

THE KILLING OF RIGGIN.
The intendente of Valparaiso has re-
quested Captain Schley to furnish the
evidence of the Baltimore,s surgeons in
regard to the nature of Boatswain's Mate
Higgins wounds, to aid in determining
whether the latter's wounds were
caused by a pistol or of rife
bullet. Rifles are carried by
the Chilean police. The Chilean
doctor who attended Riggiin swears that
his death was caused by revolver bull
let. Notwithstanding this there is a
silent witness to the contrary in the hole
made in the shirt and necktie of the
Baltimore's sailor who was holding Rig
gin in his arms aftef Riggin was stabbed.
This hole was made by rifle bullet OF
AZ calibre, and proves conclusively that
the shot was fred by police. This is
sustained by the evidence OF the Balti-
more's surgeon, who measured the bull
let wound.

reticent, from other sources OF lnforma-

for the convicts. This demand was
answered promptly that when the con-

and proper quarters. Proper quarters
