SACRAMENTO, Oct. 22.-There are SEN
sational developments in the Colfax
train-wrecking case. All this morning
Officers True and Dyer were in con-
ference in the sherif's private office
with AL and JEFF Roberts, who were
brought here last Saturday on special
from Colfax. 1t is said the officers have
obtained possession of letter written
by one of the Roberts brothers, in which
he confesses he has been lying to the
officers in regard to the crime. He at
tempted to smuggle the letter out of the
iail, but it was intercepted by the
officers. When confronted with his
written admission OF the crime,
Roberts is said to have implicated
his brother. Constable Dyer, of Colfax,
said that the officers have a dead case
against the prisoners. The constable
went before Justice Henry about 1O
O'Clock and had warrants for the arrest
OF AL and JEFF Roberts properly certified.
The warrants were issued in Placer
county, and accuse the prisoners Of train

excitement by reason of the Yaqui In
dians having declared war. The gov
ernment is concentrating troops rapidly.

in the BANKRUPTCY proceedings, today, of
the directors and the other officials of
the Gold Queen Mining company,
organized to acquire mining land in the
state of Colorado, U. S. A., Thomas

tors of the company, in order to COM
plete the title to the property.

The Famine Extends Into Siberia-Re-
lief Funds Mismanaged.
Sr. PETERSBURG, Oct. 22.-The famine
has extended into Siberia. The COVER
nor has complied report showing that
in the districts of Kokthchetowsh and
Petrapawlosk what food supplies the
inhabitants possessed have been entirely
exhausted and an appeal has been made
to public charity. Owing to the diff
Guilty OF transportation in winter, efforts
at relief seem almost hopeless. The
supplies from Caucasia are improving in
quantity, and it is hoped they will avail
to stave off the worst effects of the fam
inc. Advices from the interior of the
empire are continually OF worse import.
The people are commencing to riot in
Samara, Sartoff and Veronetz.
Reports from the provinces of SimbiTsk
and Samara show that the local govern
ment is unable to cope with the prevail
ing distress. The authorities have for
hidden the local press to record the
state of affairs. The provincial
assemblies are panic-stricken and ut
terly unable to remedy the disorder.
The military granaries have been de-
pleted. The funds for the relief of the
starving people have been deplorably
mismanaged; in some districts under
powerful patronage, there is more than
an abundance of relief, while in other
districts no heed is paid to the starving
nearants

ADULTERY VS.. CRUELTY.
MRS. Pratt Was Untue to Her Husband
But She Got the Divorce.

Mrs. Pratt Was Untue to Her Husband,
But She Got the Divorce.
OAKLAND, Call, Oct. 22.-Judge Ellis
worth today granted divorce to Mrs.
George F. Pratt, on the ground of cru
city. This is the case in which Pratt
charged his wife with adultery, naming
L. L. Bromwell, president of the Califor-
MIA Insurance company, and one OF Oak
lands most prominent citizens, as CO.
respondent. Nearly two years ago
Pratt, who was in BromwelPs employ,
shot and severely wounded Bromwell for
alleged adultery with Mrs. Pratt. Pratt
was acquitted on the charge of
shooting with intent to murder,
and some time after commenced
suit against his wife for divorce. Mrs.
Pratt Instituted counter suit, charging
cruelty. The case was on trial for sew
eral weeks, and attracted wide attention
on the Pacific coast, on account of the
prominence of the people implicated.
Judge Ellsworth, in his decision, says
he thinks Mrs. Pratt guilty of adultery
as charged by her husband, but that as
he condoned the offense and lived with
her again, he could not grant divorce
on that ground. The Judge also found
that Pratt had treated his wife cruelty,
and on that ground granted her di-
VOrce.

A Revolution Nipped in the Bud in the
Republic of Paraguay.

A Revolution Nipped in the Bud in the
Republic of Paraguay.
BuENos AYREs, Oct. 22.-Advices
from Asuncion, the capital of the repub-
lie of Paraguay, bring news OF an
attempt to overthrow President Con-
zales. The attempted revolution: how
ever, was promptly suppressed BY the
troops loyal to the government. Full
details are not yet procurable, but it is
known that there has been uneasy feel
ings there, and a spirit of hostility
for some time past. The trouble origi-
mated in political rivalries, the disap-
pointed ambitious ''outs" scheming
against the ''ins" and the latter leaving
no stone unturned to crush their op-
ponents politically and otherwise. This
jealous rivalry continued to grow in
strength until the governments op-
ponents, some days ago, boldly threw
off the mask, and collecting the
most desperate of their adhereants, they
made an appeal to the people, armed
themselves and sought to wrest the
reins OF power from the properly con-
stituted authorities, claiming that the
latter had in many ways abused the
trust vested in them. The government
Immediately sent q force of troops to
put down the insurrection.
An engagement took place between
| the government troops and the revolu-
tionists, which resulted in the defeat
and flight of the latter. The insurgents
in the main were so badly routed that
they were compelled to fly from the
territory of Paraguay and seek refuge
within the borders OF the Argentine
| Republic. The Argentine government
was notified of this fact, and sent in
structions to the frontier authorities,
ordering that all Paraguayans with
the frontier, should be disarmed. This
was done without any difficulty, the
defeated revolutionists readily surren-
dering their weapons when requested to
do so by the Argentine officials.

Tha Riverside Orange Crop.

RIVERSIDE, CAL, Oct. 22.-Estimates
are now being made on the Riverside
orange crop. Conservative authorities
claim that 2200 car loads win not be far
ont oi the way. Many new orchards
are bearing for the first time this year,
all of which are producing budded fruit.
The crop at present gives strong indica-
tions of being the choicest ever grown
in the valley. The size and shape of
the fruit is said to be largely due to the
liberal use of fertilizers. The trees are
80 heavily loaded as to require unusual
propping to preserve the branches.

United Presbyterians.

ALBANY, Ore, Oct. 22.-The Pacific
coast synod of the United Presbyterian
church met this evening. The opening
sermon was preached by Rev. w. w.
Logan, of Portland, the retiring moder-
ator. Attendance at the synod is very
small. The presbytery of San Francisco
is represented by one minister and one
lay delegate, and the presbytery OF Los
Angeles by one minister. 1t is prob
able that this will be the last meeting
until the synod is divided.

Lack of Jurisdiction.

VIRGINIA, New, Oct. 22.--In August
last M. w. Fox, president of the West
Consolidated California and Virginia
Gold and Silver Mill and Min
ing company, on behalf OF that
company, applied to the district court
for an order of survey of the Consoli-
dated California and Virginia mine on
the Comstock. An order was made
against the Consolidated California and
Virginia Mining company to show why
an order of survey should not be grant
ed. The attorney for the Consolidated
California and Virginia Mining COM
pany served notice of motion to dis
miss the application, on the ground
that the court had no Jurisdiction to
make the order, or any order OF survey
in any case, unless action has first been
commenced against the company.
Judge Rising today granted the motion,
deciding, in substance, that there was
no foundation whatever for an order OF
survey where the court has no iurisdic-
ton over the parties, and no subject
matter by the commencement of an ac-
ton. In this proceeding no suit was
commenced, and the court dismissed
Fox's application and gave judgment
against him for costs.
