DENVER, Col, Nov 9-The Mansion liv-
cry stable burned this morning. and four
and probably five men We're suffocated and
twenty or thirty horses. Three bodies
We're recovered and sent to the coroner's
chce. The loss is $4,000; insurance,
$4,000.
The lower portion of the building was &C.
cupied by horses and carriages; the upper
part is divided INFO three compartments.
One of these was occupied by roomers,
another was used for storing hay and grain
and the third was used to stable horses.
The horses that We're Sufocated were those
that were kept in the upper portion of the
building. There is sllyIiEht in the rear,
and it was here that the fire was first dis
covered, but how it originated no one knows.
The police were the first to arrive. They
rushed into the burning building and
liberated the horses on the lower floor. The
frightened animals rushed outside the doors
and ran in front. They were kept out of
the front door by a large crowd that had
gathered.

ST. LOUIS. Mo. Nov. 9-Senator VesA
in the course of an interview to-day on this
recent election, and on national politics
in general, said: Democrats hava
won great and decisive victory, and
the result shows that the same causes are
still! at work which produced the over.
,whelming defeat of the Republicans
last fall We have carried the
Democratic states of Maryland,
increased majorties, elected Flower in
New York by nearly fifty thousand plurali-
~ and elected Democratic governors in
Massachusetts and Iowa. both of which
have been strongholds of the
Republicans since the war. Any
man who would have prophesied
this five years ago would have been called
political lunatic.''
Harrison's chances, he said, had been
growing stronger and the tight
for the Republican nomination was between
Harrison and Mckinley. 1t is evident
he said from Sherman's last interview,
and the utterances of the Republican press,
that the tariff issue IS regarded with great
distrust Protected manufacturers and
monopoly have the Mckinley law, and they
don't want much said about i. They would
rather discuss something else"

tori"

Interesting Criminal suit Before the Mus
cogee Cou"t-Efort to Have the
Cherokee Council AIot the
Cherokee Lands.
Criminal Note-AIlotment Scheme.


Special TO the Gazette.
NiUsCoGEE, /. 7, Nov. 9-The recent
rains are acceptable, and the threatened
water famine is Of the past,
The most interesting criminal suit for the
November term of the United States court,
which convencs tomorrow, Is that of the
government against Prince Lowery for
assault TO kill, made on Rosney Mackey.
The former is a Creek and the lattei. is a
Cherokee. The Fort Smith court has no
jurisdiction over such cases. The law pro-
vides that the Territory court shall have
jurisdiction in certain cases where the pun
ishment is other than Imprisonment at hard
labor, and when the interested parties are
members of different nations. As this
crime is punishable by hard labor the ques-
tiOn OF conflict will be raised.
II is understood that eX-Indian Agent
Owens is endeaVoring to have the Cherokee
council now in session, pass 2 law to allOt
the lands contained in the outlet and Cher
ollea Nation proper, the Nation in some way
to give the patents, which convey to each
citizen his pro rata in the hope the govern
meut will be unable to help itself This
will hardly be accomplished. The National
council under the treaty cannot have an
operative law except with the Endorsement
of the Indian agent and approval of the
secretary Of the interior. 1t seems hardly
probable the government would refuse to
approve such law passed by the council
and permit the Nation TO take their lands in
severalty under pretended law and in vio-
latiou of the treaty.
BY the Oklahoma bill congress has pro-
vided the way one or more of such Indians
may have their lands parttioned by the
court for the Indian Territory The law is
p ain, and congress was not idly Willing its
time. Such suit having been commenced,
anyone desiring the same may be made a
party on a proper application.

public were greeted Already Brazil is
reaping the advantages of a republic. Only
/ the other day was talking with q gentle
man from San Paulo, and he gave me Won
cerful accounts Of Improvements going on
IN that region. improvements of most sub
stantial character. And this IS said to be
going on all over the country We people
begin TO see what republic means
1T is said that the British emiSsaries
! have fomented trouble for Fouseca because
he signed the treaty of reciprocity with
the United States, thus surrendering valu-
able privileges TO a foreign power
Il don't think there is much in that.
know Mendonsa, the Brazilian minister at
Washington, very well. He is a very intel
llgent and very competent man He is
thoroughly familiar with the needs OF his
country, and is also thoroughly patriotic
man. AS | said few minutes ago, SO long
ago as ls6S he was editing an outspoken
republican paper at san Pau,o. | think
the present trouble WIS really stirred up by
the followers of Count Dr. u. Dom Pedro's
sou-ln-law. 1t is he, and not Dom Pedro,
whom the mondrchistS want to see on the
restored throne. There is, however, no
chance for D'Eu. He was never popular
with the masses and they will never over
throw the republic in order to make him
emperor Besides, D'Eu was never popu-
lar even with the aristocracy, and they are
not likely 10 interest themselves greatly in
his behalf
Concerning Dom Pedro, MIR. De F'igue-
redo said that people were apt to magnify
,his capacity as Il ruler. He was Il man of
books and of theory rather than of practice
"a good man in the usual acceptation of
the term, but his goodness never accom-
plishe6 much for his people. In an inter-
view published in Figaro he is reported as
saying that if the people desired him to re-
turn to Brazil he would go back and become
the pastor of his flock But" said Mr..
De Figderedo, "he once had his opportunity
and did not avail himself of it
In conclusion Mr.. De Figueredo said that
Brazils future depended on republicanism
and he had unbounded hopes for her as u
republic. The present controversy seemed
to him analogous to what occurred in the
French republic at about the same point of
eXperimeut-the contest between President
McMahon and the national assembly. In
that dispute. President McAlahOn was
wrong and the assembly was right, and
McAlahon resigned. In the present case the
conditions, though quite similar, are re-
versed-F'Onseca is right and the congress
Is wrong. But, as il the French incident,
the right will triumph, and Fouseca will be
sustained, ana the republic will last.

HILLsBoRo, HnL COUNTY, TEX, Nov Q.
Saturday night while Mathew Rogers

house, a sneak thief entered his bedroom
and stole two shirts. Il hat, suit of clothes
and several other smaller articles. In get

OF pants.
\ call meeting of the citizens at the board
of trade rooms to take action in regard to
the Texas exhibit at the Worlds fair,
Saturday evening at O'Clock, was not very
largely attended. Nothing of importance
was done. Several committees were APP
pointed to notify the public at large of a
special meeting at the same place Sednes-
day night, when it IS thought that definite
action will be taken in the matter.

two-hOrse buggy. Frazer was on horse
back. For fear of getting wet they drove
inside the pasture at gate leading up to
the barn. While standing under shed
on the west side of the building a sudden
gust of wind, somewhat resembling a
cyclone in force, struck it, knocking one Of
the corner posts down. In falling il struck
one of the horses hitched 20 the buggy in
the face The blow together with the rain
frightened them both. They made lunge
just as the entire building went from off
the blocks. As it fell to the ground tra2ier's
boy, who in trying to hold his horse, was
thrown to the ground, the corner of the
building falling on his left foot. In the ex-
element Cacey lost his head and let 20 ths

PRESBYTERIANISM.
A Radical Suggestion Made by
a Church Committee
ON A CARDINAL DOCTRINE.
REORGANIZATION to Everlasting Death Is
Not a Necessary Part of Doctrine.
God Wants to Save All Man
kinda Simple Creed.
Special to the Gazette.


NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The presbytery,
which recently dismissed the charges of
heresy preferred against Professor Charles
NJ Briggs of Union theological seminary,
met this afternoon to near reports from a
number of committees appointed at the
recent session. That which chiefly inter-
ested the presbytery was the report of the
special committee appointed 10 examine the
report of the general aSSembly'S committee
on revisions formulated at Detroit last
May. DR.. Henry Vandyke is chairman of
this committee, and his report is III sub
stance as follows: The committee approves
of the work performed by the general as
sembly in the line of revision and urges it
to advance further by striking out the doc
trine of Denomination to everlasting death
on the ground that il is not a necessary part
of that doctrine as contained in the script
ures. 1t is the opinion OF the committee
that the lines of revision proposed by the
general committee will have no tendency to
impair Presbyterian belief, but on the con-
trary will strengthen and simplify 1t. a
new, short and simple creed in cooper alton
with other Reformed and Presbyterian
churches could be advanced, and unity and
harmony, so important to the church, could
also be attained.
A revision, also, that shall really revise,
the report holds is of tantamouut import
auce, with a two-fold object, viz: A frank
declaration of the church's living faith in
God and the clearing of the confession of
faith from the possibility of a fataiistic in
depreciation. The special committee sug-
gests the condensation Of titles to read "Of
the Holy Spirit" and "Of the Gospel" the
recaSting of the section on sovereign cleo
ton in such way that Gods chosen people
shall be termed great countless multitude;
the omission of foreordination 10 everlast-
ing death, and non-election; a full declara-
ton that God wants to save all mankind;
more lucid expression of mans ability to
receive salvation which is accorded him
through Gods grace.

resulted in favor of Great Britain, the court
deciding against the preliminary plea of the
United States that the supreme court could
not entertain even motion for leave to
file petition for writ of prohi-
bition. Since the legal proceedings
began an agreement had been reached be-
tween the two governments under which it
is hoped to secure final and definite solu-
ton of this long-peuding diplomatic dis
pute. but this will not affect the present
case. Mr.. Carlisle of this city opened
the case in behalf of the owner of
the Sayward. At the outset he said that
the decision of this cause could not forestall
anything that any other branch of the gov
ernment should do. OF course, he said, it
will stop any seizure of foreign vessels
under the existing law. This court
may in this case without expressing
any opinion as to the rights of the United
States, hold that the seizure OF this foreign
vessel fifty-nine miles from land was illegal
under international law and under the ex-
isting law of the United States, and fore
stall any convention of the
United States with reference TO
seal property. Carlisle then combatted
the position taken by the United States
that this court was bound by the face of
the proceedings and could not 20 behind
what was shown on the record as sub
mitted by the Judge of the Alaska court.
