livan, of Watsonville, Cal, was yesterday
arrested on the charge of having fur
nished arms and ammunition to prison
ers in the state prison at San Quentin,
in order to assist them in making their

gave the arms to Welles wrapped in
rubber. Welles put them in a bucket OF
milk, which he carried daily into prison.
Once there, they were given to the other
Sullivan, and then to Abraham Turcott,
a life convict, who was the leader in the
plot. After awhile Welles became fright

PARIS, Sept. 27. Foreign Minister
Ribot, at Bapaune, today, unveiled .
statue of General Faiderbe. AS a gem
eral examplesto the army, he traced the
phases of the republic from its founda-
ton, and said: "Henceforth she is mis-
tress of her own destiny. Her position
has been consolidated through accession
to the principles of prudence and mod
Grafton. Europe, whose attitude was
for some time uncertain, has at length
rendered France justice. A sovereign,
far-sighted in pacific designs, and as
firm as France, has publicly manifested
the deep sympathies uniting the two
countries. [Cries of 'Vive le czar 7
'Vive la Russie!'l And the Russian
nation has joined the czar in extending
cordial friendship to France. You know
how well these sentiments are recipro-
Gated. The Cronstadt incident
found an echoing in the small
est of our hamlets, as much as in
our government spheres. Our hearts
have been touched by the sentiments Of
friendship extended to the French
sailors; wherever they went, they found
the French respected, as was seen in
the demonstration in their honor in
Denmark and Sweden, and finally in
Portsmouth, where Queen Victoria re-
ceived them in person and accorded
them an imposing and courteous welcome
These events have made an impression
on the whole world that win not be
effaced. France has felt that she is be-
coming herself in re-entering the Europe
an equilibrium as an indispensable
factor" Cheers.l
At subsequent banquet, Ribot, in
alluding to the entente with Russia,
said the government had completed the
work begun by its predecessors upon
a point OF the highest Importance to the
future destinies of France, effecting
change in the position which the ma
ton occupied in Europe. [Shouts of
'sVives Ribotlrl It was great honor
to the ministry to have shared ia such
events and to have paved the way for
them in accordance with parliament
and public opinion.
'.The time for the collaboration OF the
chambers and the government, he
added, sis approaching. Whatever
happens we have the knowledge that
we have worked well and placed our
selves heart and soul at the service OF
the republic" Prolonged cheers.

JAIL BIRDS LIBERATED.
A TEUSTY HELPS TWO MURDER
ERS TO ESCAPE.
One of Them Boy Who Killed His Two
I Companions-TheO Other Soldier Who
Slew Comrade-The Juvenile Escape
Recaptured After Long Chase.

CHEYENNE, Sept. 27.-At 2 o'clock this
morning a disguised desperate, whose
voice betrayed him as Curley Troy, a
sneak thief given privileges during two
incarcerations, held up the guard OF
The Laramie county Jail, here, and
quietly liberated Charles Miller, boy
houble murderer under death sentence,
and Frank B. Parkinson, a soldier, con-
Victed of killing comrade, and
ordered to prison for twelve years.
Guard Kelly was walking around the
corridor, when "open quick" the sigma
Of the sherif's Office, was nervously
ssattled the iron door. Kelly opened
it and looked into six-shooter. Kelly
was now seated in big chair, gagged and
handcuffed. Currey then took the keys
and released Parkinson and Miller and
left the prison. Kelly succeeded in get
ting free and gave the alarm.
Miller foully murdered in a box car
Ross T. Fishburg and Charles Waldo
Emerson, of st. Joseph, Mo. They
were respectable young men travelling
as tramps for lark. Miller assassin
ated them to get $75. He was tried,
found guilty and sentenced to death in
May last. Execution was deferred on a
motion for new trial, to come before
the supreme court October 5tn.
Parkinson was corporal in the Seven
teenth infantry. After a night of ca
rousal. in which both figured, Roy Baker
was found dead. Everything pointed to
Parkinson, but there was no motive
established, and he is believed by many
to. be innocent.
Miller was recaptured this afternoon.
He was foot sore and hungry, and will
ing to return. He says Curley under
took the delivery of Parkinson for $3.50,
which was raised by soldiers at Fort
Russell. Miller was favored as a friend
OF Parkinson.

TIE AMERICAN HOG.
surc to Find His Way Into France In
the Near Future.

PARIS, Sept. 27.-When the chambers
resume legislative work next month the
efforts of American Minister Reid to
secure the withdrawal of the pork pro-
hibition are certain to be crowned with
success. A committee of the senate
will give immediate attention to the
bill passed by the chamber of deputies.
In official circles the opinion prevails
that the resembling of the German pork
prohibition was accelerated by the vote
Of the French chamber of deputies.
Germany seeing that the French gov
ernment had resolved to withdraw the
French prohibition, seized the chance
afforded by the postponement of the
French bill to get ahead in complying
with the American demands.
ROME, Sept. 27.-The newspapers here
discredit the report that the United
States will exclude Italian imports in
reprisal for the prohibition OF American
pork imports. They express the belief
that the prohibition will be rescinded as
soon as France and other states rescind
their plohibitory regulations.

PROGRESS OF SCIENCE.
ORDNANCE FIRED WITHOUT GEN.
GRATING HEAT.
Louis Gathman's Valuable Invention-It
Will Save the Wear and Tear of Can
non-Rain Can Also be Produced
Thereby-Suocessfq Rain Making.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Louis Gathman's
patent for preventing heat generation in
ordnance was tried at Fort Sheridan
yesterday, and while the experiment
was entirely formal, the new method of
discharging projectiles was approved by
the officers who witnessed the trial. The
gun used by Gathman differs but slight
ly from the ch-loading rifles in
common use. 1t has bore of four and
one-half inches and is nine feet in
length. The main feature of the inven-
ton is the saving in wear and tear on
ordnance, the use of carbonic acid cap
sules immeasureably prolonging the life
hof the rifles IN which it is used. The
highest form OF explosive material can
be used, and though the loads yesterday
gave pressure of but 10000 pounds to
the square inch, the same gun with
which the experiments were made has
been tested 10 so, 900 pounds, showing
the terribly destructive force which may
be attained by the use of this methods
The government has instructed Gath
man. to make experiments at Sandy
method will be purchased from the in
ventor and used for those purposes for
which it was mainly designed, namely,
coast defense and the armament of the
American navy. The experiments at
Sandy Hook will be the crucial test, and
prominent officers from all branches OF
the service will be present.
ALSO A RAIN-MAKER.
Gathman has become interested in the
rain-making problem, and it is believed
he has in this compressed acid gas the
solution. Accordingly he intends shortly
to load a shell with gas, and by means
of five-second fuse explode it in the
upper atmosphere, releasing the gas,
which, by reason Of its intense cold, it
having a temperature OF 20 degrees be-
low zero, will condense the moisture and
precipitate shower. The experiment
will take place at Fort Sheridan some
time in October.
SUCCESSFUL RAIN-MAKING.
ST. LOUIS, No., Sept. PA special
from Corpus Christi, says: Yesterday
the rain makers made their first expert
ment here. 1t was complete success.
Several bombs were discharged, and
after each volley a sharp shower fell
| over limited area, which was general
over the entire city, and continued hall
an hour. The final experiments here
will be made next week, after which the
party will 60 to points on the Mexican

HARRASSING EGAN.
Serious News Comes From
Santiago.
The Chilean Junta Shows Its
Resentment.
Indignities Heaped Upon the Amer

A Strong Determination to Freeze Him
Out or Compel him to Surrender

Protection.
Associated Press Dispatches.

New YoRK, Sept. 2s.-A Herald cable
from Valparaiso says:
News of serious import to the United
States government and America gener-
ally reaches here today from Santiago.
1t is to the effect that the leaders OF the
junta, for what reason does not vet
clearly appear, have for the last few
days adopted course which has had
the result Of harrasslng Minister Egan.
1t may be the expression of resentment
growing out of the Itata seizure, which
has never been rightly understood by
the congressionalists, but has aroused a
strong feeling of antipathy to the
United States. Or it may be deter
mination to make it 80 unpleasant for
Mr.. Egan on account OF the stories
about his sympathy with Balmaceda, as
to drive the minister out of Chile.
These are only surmises. The fact is
the junta has been endeavoring toinduce
Mr.. Egan to give up all those who have
sought refuge in the United States lega-
tion. The iunta has gone even fur
ther than this. 1t has put forth
the claim that it has right
to arreSt any one, no matter Of
what nationality, who may be found on
the streets or anywhere else outside the
four walls of the legation. In keeping
with this claim, number of foreigners
have already been placed under arrest.
Among them are three Americans who
were engaged in business here.
The matter went so far that every per-
son having occasion to visit the legation
was ordered to obtain permit from the
intendente before he was allowed to go
into the place. To enforce this rule
a force of police were put on
guard outside the legation and
patroled the block day and night until
Friday last, when Minister Egan entered
a most vigorous protest to the whole
proceedings. His manner was so earn
est that the police were withdrawn. 1t
is said he has referred the entire matter
to the authorities at Washington.
