SENT BACK IN PIECES
That Is the Way the Ring Of
Gambia Returned a Brit
ish Envoy.
He Just Wanted to Show the
Queen That He Couldn't
Be Bothered.
Three British Gunboats Have
Been Sent Out to Annoy
the Joeular King.
Fava Has Arrived in Rome
and Had an Interview
With Rudini.

LONDON. April 22.-Advices receive
here from Bathurst, the capital of Gam
bia, the British West African colony,
seem to show that Great Britain has an
other little war" upon her hands. The
native king of Gambia, 1t appears, has
for some time past been in a somewhat
disturbed condition of mind, and has
consequently committed, or allowed to
be committed, number of depreda-
tionS and abuses from which the British
colOnists were the sufferers. The Brit
ish administrator or governor of Gam
bla, Gilbert Thomas Carter. c. NJ. g.,
put up with the kings conduct as long
as possible, and finally the administra-
tor sent an envoy, in the person of
prominent English official, up the Gam
bia river to the town which the native
king makes his headquarters. This
envoy was charged with the mission of
informing the king of Gambia that he
must behave himself and see that his
subjects behave themselves in the
future, or else he might expect visit of
a disciplinary nature from the marine
force of the queen of England. The
envoy faithfully carried out MS orders,
and related the administrators views
to the king. The latter, however,
does not seem to have been at all
alarmed by the administrator threats,
for he ordered the English envoy to be
seized and bound, which was promptly
done. The king then gave instructions
to the effect that the unfortunate envoy
was to be sent back to Bathurst in
manner which would be warning to
all other English ENJOYS who might
venture up the Gambia river. There
upon, by the kings directions, portions
of the envoy's cheeks and portions of
his thighs were cut out by the kings
body guard, and, later on, the envoy
and the pieces of flesh cut from
his body were sent back to the
administrator at Bathurst. With the
envoy and the pieces of flesh, the king
sent Mr.. Carter the following terse mes
sage: "This is the kings answer"
The British administrator has taken
prompt steps to send the king a suit
able reply. Three British gunboats
have already assembled the Gambia
river to avenge the outrage upon the
envoy

EXCLUDED FROM NEW YORK.
A St. Paul Insurance Company's
Business Stopped in That State.

ALBANY, N. Y. April 22.-Certifi-
Paul (Minn.) German Insurance COM
pany to do business in this state have
been revoked by the state insurance de-
partment. In July last this company
sought authorization to do business in
this state, but was refused because
none of its capital of 100000 was in
vested in such securities as the law
compels the companies of this state
to invest in. In August application
was made again by the ST. Paul COM
pany, and statement was made that
the company had invested S305, in
bonds and mortgages, presumed by the
insurance department to be upon I'M
proved real estate which is the demand
of the New York state law. In October
the company was given authority to do
pany's annual statement for Dec.
81, 1890. and other data, indi-
Gated that much of the company's
investment was not upon improved
land. An official was sent to st. Paul,
and in his report of his inquiry there he
says: "ThiS inquiry was confined to
the property covered by the following
mortgages, described in the annual
statement as follows: No. II, for S5O, 900
on 19l lots IN West st. Paul; no inSur-
ance. No. IS, for $50, 900 on 100 lots and
l-6 acres in West st. Paul; no in
surance. No. %, for S14S, 600 OH
900 acres in North st. Paul;
no insurance. The fact that
these three mortgages, representing
s24s,OO0 of the S5O9.0OO capital were SO
largely upon acre property, and from
the lack of insurance evidently on
vacant lots, seemed to justify this in
quiry. The property is mostly situated
beyond the city limits of st. Paul. The
company's officers themselves are aware
of the unacceptable character of the
mortgages, and say that their great de-
sire to enter the state of New York for
business was the reason for making
these investments, and that it is their
intention to dispose of them as soon as
possible and reinvest in improved Sc
curities."

Nebeker;s Bad Record.

Indianapolis Sentinel.
President Harrison has made good
many scandalous appointments. But
from all accounts that of Nebeker, the
Fountain county boodler, to be treas
urer of the United States, beats the rec
ord. Nebeker is one of the rottenest
politicians in Indiana. and has been
known to Benjamin Harrison as such
for many years. In fact. he has done
great deal of very dirty work III politics
under direct commission from the man
of many prayers. He couldn't be elected
constable in his own county, and those
who have innocently supposed that
character and fitness had some little
weight with this administration, and
who are familiar with Nebeker's record,
are utterly amazed at his appointment

THAT DETROIT STRIKE.
A Successful Day for the Work.
men at Detroit

DETROIT, Mich, April 22.-Contrary
to general expectation the street car
strikers showed up strong this morning.
Although the company got the majority
of its cars started as usual, the crews
did not make more than one trip, being
unable to withstand the pressure put
upon them by the strikers. AS the day
passed the cars became infrequent, and
at noon traffic was almost totally sus-
pended. The strikers are getting more
violent and bolsterous hourly. Several
teams were nnhitched and driven off,
and the cars overturned on the tracks
during the morning. Only one case of
personal violence is reported. A
striker boarded '.scab'' car and en-
gagged the driver in dispute which re-
suited in a scuffle, and both men fell off
the platform. They were severely cut
and bruised, though not seriously hurt.
Several mild collisions with the police
have occurred.

to-day visited by one of the most disas-
trous conilagrations which has occurred

the Rome steamers were both disabled,
and the Utica department was tele-
graphed. An engine and hose cart of
Utica responded on special train, which
ran the distance at the rate of a mile a
minute 10 Rome. In twenty minutes
after arriving it was playing on the
flames. Chief Dimbley, of Utica, took
charge of the fire. The flames
had leaped across the street
and burned the frame Scoville
building and charred the two-story
brick White building. The Rogner
fire was conquered twice, and finally
extinguished. Flying embers threat
fires started and were eXtinguished.
The fire was under control at $3.50 p. m.

signed to Duty on the Thetis.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Secretary
Tracy was to-day asked why Command
er Reiter, after being relieved from
command of the Bangor and repri-
maIded as result Of his condnct in the
Barrundia matter, had been given COM
mand of the United States steamer
Thetis. The secretary said in response
that the order to Commander Reiter did
not indicate the slightest modification
of the position taken in the letter of
censure. The public discussion of the
secretary's letter and every fact that
had come to his knowledge since con-
tirmed the views expressed in that let
ter. The present detail of Commander
Reiter was purely scientific duty, not
connected with the naval squadron.
The duty to which he was assigned
consisted in completing the hydro
graphic survey which had been begun
by him over year ago. 1t was the
duty of the department to utilize the
services of its officers to the best advan-
tage. and no other officer was equally
available for the service. The Thetis,
which the officer is to command, is not
man-of-war and does not carry sln.
gle gun.

KIDNAPPING CHARGED.
A Quarrel in Minneapolis Over
the Possession of a Child.

the Possession of a Child.
Two excited and angry men, a de.
termined woman and little girl were
brought to the central station, Mime.
apolis. by Officer Deveraux last night.
The little girl was the innocent cause
of all the commotion. One Of
the men was the father of
the little girl. He says the other people
are trying to kidnap his daughter. Ole
Stay is the name of the father. The al
legged kidnapers are named Buckland,
and live at Kirkhaven, Minn. Abous
died, leaving behind little
girl three years of age. He
could not properly care for the child,
and he gave her to the care of the
Bucklands. A contract was drawn up
covering the transfer of the child, ac-
cording to which the child was to be al
lowed to stay with her father three weeks
three times every year. That was five
years ago. Stay says that the terms OF
the contract have never been complied
with by the BucGlands. and that the
girl was never brought to see bin until
little over two weeks ago. Yesterday
house out in New Boston and
forcibly from the possession;
of her father. Some of the neighbors
saw them and told Officer Devereaux
that child was being kidnapped and
he brought the whole party to the lock-
up. The little girl was consigned to the
care of the police matron. Stay will enI
deavOr to keep the child. as he is married
q second time, and can provide the child
home. he says the BuckIands are
trying to win the affections of the child.
The Bucklands on the contrary assert
they were taking the child because she
prefers to live with them. The matter
will be fought out in court to-day.

DUBLIN, April 22.-The National

statement made yesterday, at the meet
ing here of the tenants defense league,

Of the Paris fund, there was no money
with which to carry on the warfare

nelPs last clumsy trick ended in the
evlcted tenants being abandoned to
their fate. Had Mr.. Parnell yielded
for short time TO the duty of patriot
ism, the mission to the United States,
which was auspiciously commenced,
would have placed the evicted people
out of danger. But he wrecked 1t reck-
lessly and unscrupulously. Mr.. Red

that Mr.. ParnelI has closed the Paris

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Secretary
Foster has not yet decided upon a line
of policy to increase the available assets
of the treasury, and at the same time
place the subsidiary silver coin now in
the treasury in circulation. Various
plans have been suggested to him for
the accomplishment of this purpose.
but he has not yet acted upon
any of them. A letter was re-
ceived at the department to-day
from one of the depository banks sug-
gesting that it be permitted TO have
Sl.15 for 81 in per cent bonds instead
of S1.10 as now, and that this difference
be given it in silver half-dollars. This
suggestion. if acted upon, would place
at once about s1,00O.OO0 subsidiary coin
in circulation. This idea Secretary
Foster regards with considerable favor.
and If the national bank depositors
generally acquiesce in the proposition
he will adopt it.
