twenty presented themselves and were taken to Hermosillo, where Governor Corral exhorted them to return to their labors and offered them every guarantee of pardon and protection if they would submit themselves 10 the laws and keep the peace. A commission of the most influential Indians of those who had surrendered was then Rsnt to the island of Tburon, where the hostiles then were, to, if possible, induce the balance of the tribe to surrender. This proved successful, for in a short time all came in. A count of all tho Indians of the tribe was then ordered, and it wss found to consist of forty-hve men, fifty-seven women and ninety children, the last remnant of what was once very power full and aggressive tribs.
 The Indians were thea established On the different haciendas to which they belonged and instructions were given to the proprietors by the Government, to give them every protection and the best treatment possible; endeavor to induce them to work, and to E,ive them just re- muneration for their services; also to report any further signs of rebellion. Food and clothing were also distributed amongst them by the State Government.
 The method adopted by the Govern ment has thus ended the "Seris War" of 1890, without violent measures, or the spilling of blood having been found necessary

A SILENT WAR
Fought in Mexico Against the seri, Tribe
 of Indiana.

Fought in Mexico Against the seri Tribe
 of Indiana.
 From the Nogales Record.
 It is not generally known that quiet little war has been going on for the past six months, between the Mexican Gov ernment and Seris Indians of Sonora, but such is the case.
 In June last this remnant of once powerful tribe, which for ages has in- habited the west coast of Sonora, be- tween Guaymas and the Colorado river, on the Gulf of California, left the haciendas in which they were em ployed, and with a few wild Indians, whose re- treats were in the neigh boring noun tains, took up arms against the Mexican Government and secreted themselves in the woods along the coast, threatening to attack the villages and haciendas and commit Expectations.
 Their first overt act was to attack the crew of the Mexican vessel Playa Colo rada" on the island of San Esteban. Two of the crew were wounded and taken to Guaymas by the steamer Romero Rubio. They also assassinated some of the members of ther own tribe The proprietors of the haciendas which the Indians had left, endeavored to induce them to return, surrender the ir arms and resume their work; but all to no purpose. Believing that with out resources or means of subsistence these Indians would sooner or later be- gin to commit robberies and murders, the Government was informed and ap- pealed to for assistance. General Carrillo, Chief of the first Military Zone, sent Captain Alberto Mendez of the twenty-seventh regiment with two officials and fifty soldiers to bring them to subjection, paciically, if possible, if not otherwise.
 Early in July, Captain Mendez had 6 light encounter with them in Paso de Peha. This campaign was prosecuted until October without loss to the troops, but without any material success. The authorities of the district menaced em- powered Mir. Pascual Encinas. proprie- tor of the hacienda Costa Rica," to arm citizens who knew the hannts and customs of these Indians, and if neces- sary to employ company of Papagoes and proceed against them. This was done and, during the month of, October, Adjutant Lusiano Henriquez of the Eleventh Regiment, with one official and twenty-five dragons, were sent by General Carrillo to co6perate with the troops and citizens in the field, all being placed under the command of Captain Mendez. The Government issued orders that most prudent and corciliatory measures be taken to bring them under subjection and have them return to their former ayocations. These measures proved successful, for as soon as the Indians found out the Government meant business, and that they could not contend against the force sent against them, they commenced to sur render in small bands, at the hacienda of Costa Rica."

brigands near Tchereskei, Yesterday
placed distractions across the railroad
track and derailed the eastern express.
They found several German and English
tourists among the passengers. One of
them was a banker of Berlin. The
brigands demanded $40, 900 as ransom for
the captives, and Chancellor vJn CapriYi
telegraphed the German ambassador here
authorizing him to advance the AMOUNT.
The remaining passengers were despoIled
of their belongings and then left alone.
The place where the act of brgandsge

The " ork of friends.

-CENTRALIA, ILL.,, June 1.-Two miles
north of this city on the Chicago branch
of the Illinois Central last night. the
north bound express was derailed, causing
a most disastrous wreck, in which the en-
gineer was instantly killed and the fire.
man badly hurt The wreckers pulled
the spikes, unbolted the fish straps
which connect the rails and sprung the
rails over so as to derail the train. In or
der to prevent the rail from ~springing
back an old file was driven into the hole in
the tie. The drawbar with which the spikes
had been drawn, the wrench and other
tools used in the work were left on the
spot and have been identified as belonging
to the section foreman of the jackson.
vile Southeastern, who found bis tool
house broken open this morning and the
tools gone.
The spot chosen for the deed Is on a
curve in a lonely place with timber close
by. On the side which the wreckers in-
tended to send the train is a steep EN-
bankment. The plan was evidently laid
to ditch aud rob the southbound Chicago

passed over without leaving the track and
escaped the doom they had planned for
it. Seeing that their plans had mIscar-
ried and there being no other passenger
trains during the night, the would-be
robbers left hat locality, not knowing that
the noruhbound express was two hours
late and would be along in thirty minutes.
The doomed engine was of the Brooks
pattern and weighs sixty tons and turned
over on its side, catching Engineer Quirk
OF Champaign, crushing and scalding him
to death instantly. He was so badly
scalded that the skin pealed off the body
in large sheets. The fireman, Tommy
Todd. also OF Champaign, was badly cut
and bruised, but will recover. An ex-
press car loaded with strawberries was
next to the engine and rolled down the
embankment on the other side and the
mail car dumped on top of it. The bag.
gage car also left the track, but did not
upset. The coaches stuck to the track
and the passengers were not injured in
the least.
A clew has been obtained as to who the
wreckers are supposed to be, and search
ing parties are out in various directions.
Three fairly well dressed strangers were
noticed by the police in this city yester-
day, and we're driven away from the chain
gang on the rock pile, some of whom they
seemed to know. One of them attempted
to steal the drawbar from the work car on
the Jacksonville Southern section car
while the gang was at work a short
distance away.
Coroner Lskin impaneled a jury and
held an inquest on the body of Engineer
Qnlrk. and returned a verdict in accordance
with the above facts. The last heard of
the three men suspected was at Shattuc,
! twelve miles away, where they took break
the Ohio & Mississippi track. Should
they be caught and prove to he the right
parties, a lynching will be reported from
this section unless the excitement is given
time to cool down.

1t has been said that the reason so few
people get what they want in this world
is that they do not want it hard enough.
There is profound truth at the bottom of
this odd conceit. Earnest striving and
perseverance are rare qualities. A little
struggle, and then a falling off; a few
faint efforts, and then despair-this is
the usual story of attempts to 'get any
thing" whether it be a physical, mental
or spiritual good. But to long for a
thing SO strongly hat for the sake of its
attainment one can conquer obstacles,
live down opposition, ignore discourage
ment and work persistently and through
years of trial and o~bscurity toward the
fulfllment of a hope-is not this the rec
ord of all grand achievements and the
history of all p~urposeful lives?
Many more wishes might be realized
if people were willing to pay this price
for them. Anything worth having in
this world is dear, including experience.
Genius itself has been defined as only
unlimited patience, or an endless capac-
ity for hard work
1t vas told Of some celebrated general
that he never knew when he was defeat
ed. By and by he could not be defeated.
A little of the same spirit infused into
ordinary life work would make many a
dream possible that now seems to the
wistful dreamer as ~extravagant as the
cloudiest castle in Spain. -Harper's Ba-
Ear.

A CHINESE SWINDLER.
Tcheng -Ki-TOng Leads a Fast
Life in Paris.
His Government Orders His
Return to China.
He Is Tried and Sentenced to
Death.

PARIS, June l.-Adviccs from Pekin
state that Tcheng- Ki-Tong, formerly act
ing first secretary of the Chinese legations
in London and this city, has been con-
demned to death. This is believed to be
the outcome of the diplomats action
while in this city. His life in this city
was marked with many ioIms of extrava-
gaRce. Early this year the London Times
had a dispatch coming, ostensibly. from
Li-Hung Chang. prime minister of China,
authorizing Tong to negotiate for the
Chinese government a loan of Ell, 900, 900.
Tong opened negotiations with English
and French hanks, but was suddenly re-
called and sailed for China to the great
sorrow of a large number of creditors to
whom he Owel immense sums OF money.
In fact. it was generally believed that
he had taken advantage of his official
position to swindlc right and left. But
the Chinese law is far reaching, where
the subjects of the emperor are con-
cerned. and when Tcheng ki-Tong was
recalled. owing, no doubt to reports of his
conduct here reaching the Chinese au-
thorities, there was no course open to him
but to obey the emueror's mandate. Had
he not done so his family in China would
have been held responsible for his acts,
and all his relatives would have been held
to strict accountability for the deeds of
their kinsman. Rather than bring this
disaster upon his relatives, TchenR-ki-
Tong obeyed his sovereign's command to
return to his native country. Immediate
ly upon his arrival there he was placed
under arrest. His trial shortly followed
and death is the penalty for his wrong

DETROIT, June l.-At the afternoon
session DIR. Junkin moved that the com
rnittee on seal be continued until next as
sembly. This was lost and DIR. Wright,
for the chairman, recommended that the
device be an open bible and that the COM
mittee have a suitable draft at the next
assembly. Adopted.
The assembly decided that it cannot
send delegates to other than ecclesiastical
bodies, and so cannot send them to the
temperature conRress at Saratoga.
The committee on worldly amusements
reported, Though DR.. florence, that they

often are. Cards derive their attraction
from the element of chance in them. The
committee hopes that progressive euchre

ready decided it to be gambling. 1t was
reco mmended thatthe deliverances OF past
assemblies. especially hat of 1879 be
reafirmed and the one against progressive
euchre be adopted, Accepted and placed

sent back to the committee to have the
clauses recommending discipline for
these amusements eliminated.
The committee on narrative reported an
encouraging general increase in the work
and contributions of the church. The
entire present membership Is 1893. 445, a
net gain of 27.445. Total contributions
for home expenses and beneyolence,

small REVEALS rather than any general
awakening. Young peoples societies and
wOmens religious and benevolent work
are growing in volume and usefulness.
The committee on temperance reported
encouraging progress in view of the small
offerings Tor its promotion. WOmen's
temperance societies are the main factor
in bringing about this result. Agitation for
needed reforms in laws and the enforce
ment thereof is spoken of. The president
of the United States should be requested
to secure the reversal of the senate's
eeiusal to unite IN the prohibition of liquor
IMPORTATION to Africa proposed by the
Brussels congress. Greater care should
be taken ~ instruct yOung people system
atlcally in temperance matters. Chair
ma Hayes OF the committee SAID the
more he studied the liquor question the
more he wondered at the general apathy.
Any other evil OF equal Importance would
evoke a cyclone that would sweep l. away
at once. Still there are many aud great
tokens of promise. The propositions to
advocate prohibition and against renting
property Tor liquor selling we're tabled.

Williams at the station the wagon drove

street, and placed DR.. Isaac Sinclair and

A. i. mclaughlin, president of the
Omaha medical and surgical institute,
paid a woman IN this city $3.50 for her
diploma. The diploma was then placed
~ the hands of a-well-known engraver in
this city, and the name of the woman
erased and that of A. T. mclaughlin in
serted instead. This work was &C
complished during last October, and Nc

OMAHA, Neb., June l.-DevelOpments
in the affairs of the Omaha Medical In
stitute today resulted in three OF the city's
prominent physicians being placed in Jail
without bail on the charge of murder.
The prisoners are President A. T.
Mclaughlin, Isaac Sinclair and j. II.
Williams. For some time rumors Of
questionable transactions at the institute
have been rife. Monday the discovery of
the body of a wealthy citizen OF Stewart,
Ncb., in a pauper's grave horribly mutt
lated caused the coroner to investigate the
place. The man had died in the hospital
and though leaving a large amount of
cash with the institute. had been buried
nude in the potter's field. Detectives
we're put to work.. AT 3 a. IN. today evil
dence was developed concerning the death
of Miss Isabella Beaver of Plattsmoutb.
Neb., and her baby at the institute. A
squad of police surrounded the residence
of DR.. Williams. He would not open
the door, and officers were forced to crawl
through a window to arrest him. The
other two were packing trunks as il to
leave. The body of the child was ex-
humed. The base OF the skull was
crushed. 1t is said the girls death re
suited from criminal work.
At midnight the coroner, accompanied
by a corps of detectives. lett on a special
train for Plattsmouth to exhumc the body
OF the young woman supposed to have
been murdered. The examination proved
conclusively the suspicion entertained,
and the remains were removed from the
grave to this city. Immediately on the
return of the coroner and detectives at 3
a. m. the patrol wagon, with officers,
quietly left the police station and drove to
the residence of DR.. j. A. Williams, OF
the institute. A ring at the door bell wa
answered by Mrs. Williams. The de.
t~ectives stated that they had come to ar
