BUTTE, Mont, Sept 3O.-[Special tele-

aged 60 years, who for many years has re-
sided alone on the Black Tail road, ten
miles south of this city, was murdered in
his cabin some time during last night, and
the cabin containing the body afterwards
burned to the ground. The trunk of the
body was discovered in the smouldering
ruins about 6 o'clock this morning. The
motive for the crime is supposed to have
been robbery, as Harding was known to
have considerable money. In the locality
where the murder wac committed numer-
GUS hold ups and robberies nave lately

some of the perpetrators of these crimes
killed Harding. About month ago while
Harding was absent from his cabin some

Bee of the Chinese legation here has Just
received from Walla Walla statement of
Hugh Mcmillan which throws light on the
murder of thirty four Chinsse miners on
Snake river in April, 1887. McMillen

by his son Robert 16 years of age, just be-
fore the lads death. Young Mcmillan.
Bruce Evans, Hiram Maynard Carl
Hughes, ''Lide" Garfield, Max Larue and
Frank Vaughan were in cattle camp ear
Snake river when someone suggested they
clean out the neighboring camp of Chinese
miners. Armed with revolyers and Win
chesters, they surprised the camp and killed
twelve Chinese. All the bodies were
thrown into the river. They obtained over
$1,000 in gold dust. Then they discovered
eight Chinese coming down the river.
These they ambushed and murdered and
threw their bodies into the river. Not con-
tent with this they started up the river to
another Chinese camp, where the same
bloody work was repeated. The unarmed
Chinese could offer no resistance All were
shot and their bodies cast into the river.
Here the miners found about $50, 600 which
they divided. The scene Of the murder was
in Wallowa county, Oregon. Vice Consul
Bee will do all In his power to track the
murderers and secure indemnity for this
atrocity.

causes have contributed TO feelings of an
tagonism toward the United States
1.-The Itata affair.
Admiral Browns visit to Quintero

3-Acting Secretary Wharton's refusal
to receive the junta ENJOYS.
1.-The notion that the United States
navy and government were in sympathy
with Balmaceda.

refugees away and Minister Egan's insist

cedists in the legation. And lastly, lying

comments on the action of British Minister

Paris Press Comments on BouIanger's Death.

PARIS, Sept 30.-AlI the evening papers
contain obituary articles, but none, with
the exception of LIE Jour, reflects upon the
political aspect of the generals life. LIE
Jour says he had not the courage to sur
yive Bonnemaine, who sacrificed herself
for him. LIE Jour's article concludes with a
scatning comparison between the manner
of his death and his imperialistic pretense.
M. Constans, minister of the interior,
said he was genuinely grieved at
the generals death though con
sclous he was responsible for the
upsetting of the popular idol by a
packed, though legally constituted tri-
bunal. In other political quarters it is re-
membered to the generals credit that he
practically made the foundation of entente
with Russia. The general had shown signs
OF consumption, of which Nuns. de Bonnie
maine died. This knowledge, added to
faint of hereditary insanity, leaves no
wonder he committed the rash act
La Debdts says: Perhaps Boulanger
thought to be Caesar or Napoleon, though
he had none of their genius. Harsh words
are needless. His miserable life ended in q
death which was also miserable, but was
dramatic. In all likelihood his suicide was
prompted by sincere feeling.
La SOleH remarks: 1t was strange des-
tiny; after living like Vitellus to die like
Werther. Yet what a splendid career
Boulanger might have had as a simple sol
der.
The Gaulois says: Boulanger's death
was his last blunder
La Liberte says: The life of the man
who could have upset the republic had he
chosen to agitate France to an enormous
degree has ended like that of a hero of
romance. He died alone and far away from
home.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-The Irish National

are untrue and will have no effect upon the
convention. The protest represents only
those professional agitators whose names
appear as the committee signing it, and
there is no such order as the Confederated
Irish societies. No, it is not possible that
the matter will be referred to the conven-
ton; such things should be ignored. l ex-

RAUM IN A RAGE.
He Demands the Dismissal of
Three Pension Bureau Clerks.
He Says They Are Plotting to IDjure His Char
acter and Compel His Resignation
Charges Made Against His Son.

WASHINGTON, Sept 3O.-Peusion Com
missioner Raum has demanded the dismis-
sal of j. Edgar Engle, of Pennsylvania; F.
M. Eyler, of Illinois and Edward Howard,
of Connecticut; clerks in the pension
bureau, alleging they are plotting to injure
his character and compel his resignation.
1t is understood the immediate cause OF
Raum's action is the recent filing by Engle
and Howard of affidavits charging young
Raum with attempting to obtain money
from them in consideration for his influence
with his father i'll securing their promotion.
Young Raum made an affidavit denying
the statements. His father characterizes
the allegations that his son in
fiuences promotions or appointments
in favor of his friends as en-
tirely without foundation in fact.
1t is understood young Raum has prepared
a statement covering the entire period of
his connection with the pension Office and
obtained letters from heads of divisions
generating him from the imputation that
he in any sense acted corruptly. General
Raum believes the charges against his son
are not only untrue, but cruel, as evidently
the intention is to strike down the father
through the son. General Raum says he
is always willing to meet any criticism
upon his administration, he didn't propose
to be driven out of Office and said the men
who seem most to desire his retirement
had adopted policy which would most
likely defeat their object. He is
further gratitied to be able to say he
never heard a word of disparagement
coming from the President or Secretary
Noble.

To Encourage Cold Exports.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30-The directors of
the mint, with the approval of the secre-
tary of the treasury, have issued instruc-
tious to the superintendent of the assay
office in New York in cases of deposits of
foreign gold or bars that such approxima-
ton of value as, in the discretion Of the
superintendent, may be regarded as safe,
not to exceed go per cent of the value may
be paid pending the melt and assay The
purpose of this regulation is to encourage,
as far as can be legally done, government
importation of foreign gold into the United
States by allowing importers spot cash
value for foreign gold as soon as received
instead of requiring them to wait while
deposits are being melted and the exact
gold determined.

Excitement Over the Failure at Houtzdale.

HoUTzDALE, Pa, Sept. 3O.-There is i'm
mense excitement here to-right over the
closing Of the Dill bank at Clearfield, and
there is trouble here with the Houtzdale
bank. The widest rumors are floating
about regarding the latter institution
though Cashier McGrath is quoted as stat.
ing the bank will pay dollar for dollar.
Hundreds of miners are parading the
streets or gathering at street corners, and
trouble is feared every moment with the
Huns and Slavs who had their all in the
bank. The deposits of the First National
bank at the time of the suspension were
about s100,0OO President Din saws the
depositors of both institutions will be paid
dollar for dollar. The Houtzdale bank
trouble is caused by the defalcation of
Teller Hamilton short time ago.
