Terrible Tragedy Enacted on the
High Seas.
SAN Francisco, July IA Yoko-
hama paper prints an account Of ter
rible case of piracy and murder on the
high seas. 1t says several months ago
the schooner Undine sailed for cruise
to the South Sea islands, with crew OF
eight men, besides the mate and Cap
tain Costello. At Honolulu man who
was introduced as the mates brother
joined the vessel. About three days
out from Honolulu the mate and his
brother shot the captain in his cabin,
and afterwards killed the supercargo,
who had discovered their crime. The
crew was called aft and the mate gave
them poisoned liquor, and all were
killed except the steward, who was
given bribe of $1,000 to keep quiet.
The schooner then shipped new
crew of natives ct one of the islands,
and sailed for Ascension island. There
the steward revealed the crime to the
authorities, who arrested the mate and
his brother and sent them to Manila in
irons.
h No such schooner as the Undine is
owned in San Francisco, or sailed from
this port. There is steamer of that
name owned in Portland, Or, by J. T.
Crav.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE.

Last Day of. the Big Convention at De-
troit.
DETROIT, July 1.-THE Baptist Young
Peoples convention opened the last
days session with an early morning
prayer-meeting. Most of the city pull
pits were filled this morning by pastors
of the Baptist denomination, and
the delegates and visitors divided
themselves among the different churches.
A praise service was held this after
noon, at the conclusion Of which mat
ters pertaining to the union were dis
cussed. The board of managers elected
officers for the ensuing year as follows
President, Rev. l.. l.. Henson, Balti-
more: secretary, Rev. H. G.. Mcleod.
At the evening session Rev. ] B. .Cranfill,
the vice-presidential candidate on the
Prohibition ticket, made an eloquent
appeal for $4,000 for founding fund
for the Baptist Young Peoples union of
Americr. He raised $4,000. Rev. Wal
lace OF Toronto caused q sensa-
tion by protesting against doing such
work on the Lords day.
Resolutions were adopted condemn
ing the liquor traffic, and calling upon
all Christians to use their influence to
bring about it's speedy determination.
The convention sermon was preached
by Rev. w. White, of Minneapolis,
and President Chapman followed with
an address on the work of the new year.

How the Double Team Record Was

How the Double Team Record Was
Beaten.
Whatever the credit attending the
mile in 2:12 by Belle Hamlin and Globe
at Kirkwood, Del, on the Fourth, it is
doubtful whether the feat will be ac-
cepted as record, says the Philadelphia
Press. The course over which they trot-
ted is of the kite-shape. and has been 80
graded as to have declivity most OF the
way, the finish being about four feet
lower than the start. Budd Doble, who
was present when Mr.. Hamlin's cham
pion team performed, thinks course
built on this plan should not
recognized along with the or
dinary tracks that are nearly
level. At present there is no turf legis-
lation on the subject, but that sports
manlike spirit which should always pre-
vail will draw the line at these down
hill contrivances which suit some
horses exactly but completely unbal-
ance others. The degree to which this
grading can be carried makes it impera-
tive that come limit should be defined,
or, as one critic expressed it, "they will
be dropping horses down precipice
next, and want credit for the time it
takes to reach the bottom"

safety of the men themselves. s. 1.
Breedlove, his son G. w. Breedlove, and
a capitalist named Fish, left here early
in June, since which time no tidings
have been received from them. In their
wagon were found their coats, rifles, re-
volvers and baggage, but no trace of the
men themselves or their three mules.
Tracks of the latter, leading to the hills,
some miles away, were found. At the
springs were other indications of their
presence. G. w. Breedlove was some
months ago convicted on the charge of
manslaughter, for his connection with
the death of Sailor Brown, of the cruiser

WALLACE, Idaho, July 1.-THE west

distributed in various portions of the
mining district. The entire command
here was suddenly called to arms at III
O'Clock tonight to search the neighbor.
ing hills in capturing miners who had
been in hiding. Six were arrested.
Many of the miners under arrest are
married and have families, and today
many wives and children were seen
about the camp seeking the privilege to
speak to the head of the family, who is
held prisoner. In most instances this
privilege was granted. 1t lie probable
that the entire body of miners under ar
rest will be tried in the United States
district court for contempt, though some
OF the prisoners will have to answer to
the charge of murder.
A detachment of troops went to MUIR
ray today and brought Frank Reed, the
murderer of r. w. Stevens, to Wallace,
IOr bale Keeping, as InreaIs OF lyncnlng
were heard on all sides, and well or
ganized mob had planned to attack the

Further particulars of the shooting OF
Stevens show that Hyman Wolf, who
owns mining claim adjoining Reeds,
requested United States Deputy Mineral
Surveyor, George R. Trask, of Wallace,
to survey his claim. Reed heard of this
and looked for Wolf. On going to a
saloon he saw Trask.. Wolf saw Reed
coming and hid himself. Reed asked
sTrask where Wolf was. Trask re
piled he did not know. Reed said:
':Damn you, you do; I'll kill you," and
pulled out revolver and shot at Trask,
who threw his head aside. The ball
grazed his moustache and the bullet in
tended for him lodged in the head of
Robert w, Stevens, who was immedi-
.ately behind. Reed was Immediately
arrested and placed in Jail. Stevens's
body will be shipped to his parents, in
Iowa, for burial. Reed is desperate
man, and is said to have shot number
of men in Arizona and Nevada.

Patsey and His Pup.

Patsey Regan lives in "Goattown" and
is seven years of. age.
He owns pup-of the yaller and yell
er variety. The yells, indeed, are more
yaller than the pup. And that deviltry
in Goattown which isn't directly trace
able to Patsey is indirectly traceable to
Patsey's pup.
The two walked proudly out the other
morning on their customary constitu-
tional. Patsey was in front and the pup
behind. The event Of the walk was
the pups pausing a moment or two to
breakfast on the seat of little Dominick
Mullany's trousers. But Patsey didn't
see this little episode, and Dominick was
too much scared to yell.
Now Dominick has q mamma who
has good deal of ginger in her charac-
ter. She lay in wait for Patsey.
Having accomplished the constitutions
al at the end of half an hour Patsey
and the pup started on the return.
Dominick's mamma met them.
"Say, you Reganr' she cried, "does
that dog belong to your"
(Which 'en?' inquired Patsey, taken
by surprise.
81 say, is tfat dog yourn?'
Patsey looked from the scrowling wo
man to the miserable pup, and cogitated
moment.
"What fer?" he asked at length.
"What fer? Cause he bit my Domi.
nick-that's what fer! Who's he belong

Patsey backed off carelessly. Then.
with judicicus weighing of words he
announced:
"Well, if he bit your Dominick, |
don't know who he belongs ter. never
seed him afore. New York Recorder.

Murder Fugitive Nom
Union Men.

By the Associated Press.]
SPOKANE, Wash, July 17.-Sunday
quiet hangs over the Ceur d'Alene
country today. The arrest of miners
continues, and several hundred are now
huddled in school houses, empty ware
houses and baseball stockades. They
are closely guarded, and cannot hope to
escape. The troops have not captured
any Of the rifles or ammunition of the
strikers, which are hidden in the sur
rounding hills. A number of the lead
ing spirits of the insurrection are still
at large; among these are Breen and
Dallas, who came here from Butte to
direct the campaign. 1t is reported
that the Montana unions are in
dignant at the way the fight has
been carried on, claiming that Breen
and Dallas have set back their
cause for years. Other leaders still at
large are Pettibone, Horn, ToDin and
Sweeney.
I'll. S. Scott, special correspondent of
the Review, who came in tonight from
the front, says he was informed by the
officers at Cataldo that it was a positive
fact that five dead bodies and a number
of wounded men were picked up in
Fourth of July canon. Scott is the man
who was ordered out of Wallace because
his paper denounced the outrage.
Very few of the fleeing strikers are
coming this way, most of them passing
over the Bitter Root mountains into
Montana, where the union is strong and
where they can find aid and shelter.
Two have been arrested here tonight,
and booked on the charge of murder at
the police station. This charge will be
preferred against every fugitive who is
caught.
A large number OF fugitive non-union
men are gathered here. They huddle
together and seem to be dazed over their
rough experience, but are willing to go
back to work as soon as quiet has been
restored. 1t is the general impression
in the Cnur d'Alene and here that a
permanent garrison ought to be main
tanned right in the mines. Unless this
is done. that section during the next
year will be the theater of many dark
and bloody crimes of revenge.
