SENSATIONAL CONFESSION
OF White Capper who is Dying from
His Wounds.

Or white Cappef VINO is Dytng from
His Wounds.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 25.--<On the 7th
of March gang of White Caps visited
the residence of an old man named John
Underhill, whose residence was cabin
in between Branchville and st. Croix, in
Perry county, location eighteen miles
between hills and primitive forests from
the nearest railroad or telegraph station.
Underhill fought for his life against his
assailants, five Of whom, Louis Faulken-
berg, Otto Faulkenberg, Hinton Carr,
Anthony King and Edward Keefe, he
recognized, and all of whom have since
been arrested and placed under bond OF
81 900 each to answer in the Perry coun-
ty circuit court. In the fight that en-
sued between Underhill, assisted by his
wife and sister, against the White Caps,
Underhill cut Louis Faulkenberg badly
in the shoulder and back with an AK,
and severely injured Ed Keefe by
blow over his head with bedslat. But
Underhill was badly beaten, and as the
White Caps left him, one of them shot
him in the face and breast with shot
gun loaded with small bird shot.
Tuesday it was announced that
neither Underhill nor Louis faulkep-
berg would recover from their wounds,
blood poisoning having supervened in
both cases.
This announcement brought ont
confession, it is stated, from Louis
Faulkenberg, in which he stated that he
was member of the White Cap organ
ization, and that his brother, Otto, had
been leader among the night riders,
and he implicated all of his associates
in the effort to White Cap Underhill az
members of the oath-bound organiza-
ton. He also stated that number Of
persons who had been indicted, tried
and acquitted in the courts Of Perry,
Crawford and Harrison counties were
guilty of Wlite Gaping, and had BEEN
and many of them now were, members
Tne names of these parties were i'm
parted by Faulkenberg, it is stated, to
certain officials that had been sent for to
visit him, with directions how proof Of
their guilt could be obtained.
There is the greatest excitement in
the White Cap section over this confes-
sion, and it will doubtless result in
many prosecutions and the breaking up
of the White Cap organization in Perry
and Crawford counties

healthy manner"

How Mormons of Approved Standing Get
More Than One Wife.

More Than One Wife.
SALT LAKE, March 25.-An examina-
ton has been going on here for over a
week to establish the rightful successor
of the Mormon church at Nauvoo and
the legal ownership of Temple block at
independence. Mo. Many witnesses
testified to practicing polygamy a. Nau-
VOC and the legal ownership of Temple
block at Independence, and that Joseph
Smith was polygamist there. One OF
Smiths plural wives testified to their
marriage there.
Elder John Bates Noble Thursday
swore that the brethren were playing
for women and got 'em;" that the prin-
cipal was Taught privately. When
asked about the law he said: Elders
Wheelock and Richards testified in re-
gard to the celestial wife system and
that he was not polygamist, which is
an entirely different thing being in fact
the very opposite; for polygamy allows
women to have more than one husband;
celestial marriage forbids this, but al
lows more than one wife to men OF APP
proved standing in the church.

ExTRADiTlON TREATY.
One VIII Soon BE Signed Between France
and the United States.

One VIII Soon he signed between FRANCE
and the United States.
PARIS, March 25.-The Hon. Whitelaw
Reid, American minister, states in an in
terview that he is still engaged in nego-
tiating the proposed extradition treaty
between France and the United States,
the delay being caused by the delibera-
ton with which the French took and
examined each and every sentence and
strictly weighed its meaning from every
post and point.
The treaty will surely be signed before
Mr.. Reid sails on Saturday, and he has
no doubt that it will easily pass the
chamber of deputies The treaty is
more extensive in its scope than that be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain.
Thursday night Mr.. and Mrs. Reid at
tended banquet given in their honor
by the American Artists association.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reid dined with Count
Dassaily, great grandson of the Marquis
Lafayette. The guests included all the
descendants of Lafayette, now in
Paris.
Subsequently Mr.. and Mrs. Reid at
tended d farewell reception in their
honor by Baron de Mohrenheim, Rus
sian ambassador to France.

protection to BE More Extensive.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-While the
instructions to the commanding officers
of the naval and revenue vessels which
are to be assigned to the duty of pro-
tecting the sealing industry the coming
season are not yet completed, it is
settled that they will differ from those
of last year in most important partlcu-
lar
Last wear the operations of these ves-
sells were confined to Behring sea. 1t is
now proposed, however, to extend them
also to waters within the three-mile limit
along the entire Alaskan coast north of
latitude 55 degrees to Unimak pass
south of Behring sea. In this way the
seal herd on its way to the rookeries on
pribvloff lands will be protected at
least TO limited extent from poachers
along the entire coast usually followed
by them.
Experience has demonstrated that a
large number of seals are annually killed
in these shore waters. especially in the
Gulf of Alaska, near Mount st. Elias,
and westward along the peninsula as far
as Unimak pass, which is used by the
seals as an entrance to Behring sea. The
coast at that point is indented with coves
and inlets where the waters, sheltered
from the northern winds by range of
mountains, are smooth and shallow and
afford an excellent play ground for the
seals. Poachers are well acquainted
with this fact and are always assured OF
a good catch in that vicinity.
Nearly $4,000 seals were slaughtered
in these waters within the three mile
limit last year. 1t is now proposed for
the first time TO maintain an efficient pa
troll over these waters with view to
the protection of the seal herds on their
way to Behring sea so long as they re
main within the jurisdiction of the
United States. 1t is hoped, in this way

DUG DOWN TO A TOWN.
Remarkable Discovery Of Aztec Rem aims
and Their Dwellings.


DEN PHGNIx, A. t., March 25.-A
party of Mexican laborers, while digging
in the extension Of the Santa Cruz
canal, came upon one of the strangest
of the old Aztec cities. They struck the
first ruin in cutting through the desert
about twenty feet below the surface,
where it had doubtless been covered up
by sandstorms, which are very severe
here in the summer. Everything about
the old building had been wonderfully
preserved owing to the alkali in the
sand.
The first building consisted of tri-
angular structure about 300 feet in
length and 200 in width. The roof,
which had doubtless been thatch, had
caved in, but the wooden pieces by
which it was held together was sound
as when put in thousands of years ago.
They were pulled out OF the old wall,
and are on exhibition at Tucson. In
the building was a stone trough about
the entire width and made in sections,
held together with kind of cement.
There were eighteen bodies in the build
ing, all of them of medium size, and
their flesh was mummified.

Frank Hatton Shouts War.


OTTAWA, March 25.-The Hon. Mr..
Reed, in the senate Wednesday, inquired
of the government if the British or Can
adian government is to bear the expense
of indemnifying the British sealers for
damages sustained after being warned
against killing seals in the high seas last
year. Premier Abbott gave little salts
faction in his reply. He said he was not
in a position to state how negotiations
were proceeding. 1t would not be diff
cult, however, to divine what Canadas
attitude would be on that question.

ernment is increased. Its only members

long to the Liberals and Progressionlsts,
who united under Count Stagaki and
Count Okurma to oppose the cabinet in
the last house. but many remain unat-
tached to any party. and only the meet
ing of the house will show the relative
strength of the party.
Frightful disorder prevailed during
the elections in Plandok, of which
Count Stagaki, the Liberal leader, is a
native. The different parties marched
and countermarched and fought with
guns and swords and other weapons
Many persons were killed, and order was
only restored when gendarmes arrived
upon the scene.
Count Ito resigned his post of presi-
dent of the privy council on Feb. 3D.
No cause was given, but 1t is generally

auested the count to withdraw his resig-
nation, but this he has not done.
The rent in the Fujame PEERLESS
mountain of Japan, which was believed
to have been caused by an earthquake,
is now found to be an old cavity. 1t is
shown to greater advantage by reason
of the surroundings, as they now exist,
and only the excited state of the peo-
ple's minds caused the fissure to be
thought a consequence of the earth
quake.
The rising in Nugol is now complete
ly checked, and the Chinese authorities

Kinkain have held public meetings, and

United States that pressure be brought
to bear on the Chinese authorities to
suppress the vile anti-foreign literature

the resolution.
Sir John Walsh, British consul at Pc

N. r. O'Conner, consul general at Sofia,

British residents of Shanghai, Hong
Kong and other open ports, and showed
little sympathy with the interests Of the
merchant class.

THE PRESIDENTS FIRM STAND
Meets with the Hearty Approval of
LoyaI Americans.

Meets with the Hearty Approval of
Loyal Americans.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-There is
great satisfaction expressed here over
the firm stand taken by the president on
the Behring sea situation. Never has
there been frmer stand taken in
favor of the rights of the United
States.
The Washington Post, Independent,
saws ''that every American lifts his hat
to President Harrison and cheers his re-
ply to the British note 1t will thrill
the blood in everv section of the coun-
try, and the enthusiasm which it is sure
to create will not be blind to what these
firm words of the president may in
volve."
The Post says further, and it expresses
fully the sentiment of congress:
"There is no necessity for explaining
in any quarter of this land what war
means. 1t is costly and terrible busi.
ness. But Americans, who know its full
meaning, and are conscious too that they
know how to wage it, will not only sup
port the president in executing our
laws and so maintaining the national
honor, but at the hrst opportunity they
would drive an administration into
oblivion that failed in the slightest de-
gree under such insults as Lord Sails
bury is now putting upon this nation
while our case is a good one on its
merits. in the broad sense the question
of merits does not enter. The refusal
to renew the modus vivendi by which
the property at issue in the proposed ar
bitration should be protected pending
the proceedings was both trifing and
insulting.
1.-The president, therefore, does well
to tell Lord Salisbury in unmistakable
terms that, whether England seems fit
to assist in preventing poaching or not,
the United States will stop it by force
and at all hazards pending the hearing
of the case. 1t is to be hoped, indeed il
can scarcely be doubted, that if the SEN
ate feels called upon to ratify the treaty
of arbitration it will attach authority
thereto for the employment by the pres
ident of the armed forces of the nation
to protect the property which is to be
the subject of arbitration until final
decision of the question at issue is
/ reached "
Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-03-25

tne arguments argued upon Lord
Salisbury by Sin Charles Tupper. Lord
Salisbury is known to have great conf
dence in Sir Charles, and to his take
counselfrequently, not only on Canadian,
but also on American affairs.
1t is said that Sir Charles has con-
WINGED the premier that, in upholding
the right TO catch seals in the open sea,
he will have not only the unanimous and
loyal support of Canada, but also the
sympathy of majority Of the Ameri-
can people, and that the real cause of the
warlike utterances at Washington is the
influence in Washington councils of the
representatives Of thefur seal monopoly.
Now En- Route North.
Advices have been received to the ef-
feet that the Warspite, the flagship of
Rear Admiral Hotham, is now on its
way to the north Pacific, and that a
strong fleet will be marshalled at Es-
quimault to be ready for any hostile
demonstration on the part of the United
States.
British Comment.
The afternoon newspapers Thursday
made Behring sea the prominent topic.
The Star, radical Liberal, says that
Lord Salisbury knuckled under to Blaine
in 1891, and declines rightfully to con-
sent again to play into the hands of a
ring of sealers who have influence with
the American congress. Moreover such
a course would be an injustice to the
Canadians.
The Evening News, Liberal, says that
the prospect justities grave alarm.
Much allowance must be made for
hectoring and bluffing, in view of the
coming presidential election. Certainly
Great Britain will not be bullied into
the acceptance of modus vivendi by
threats that all the military and naval
forces of the United States will be called
upon to sustain American claims.
The Pail Mall Gazette, Liberal, says
that President Harrison is riding high
horse again. The difference will, of
course, be adjusted, and it is only
worthy of notice as an instance of presl-
Dental posing prior to an election.
The st. James Gazette, Tory, says
that it is impossible not to feel anxiety
lest naval officers in a remote sea, safely
distant from the telegraph, will lose
their heads or tempers. The United
States is not going to war with us over
the seals, but it must be confessed that
matters are very uncomfortable and
rather alarming.
The Globe. Conservative, laughs at
the United States senate being panic
stricken over hearing of President Har-
rison's heroic resolution, which they
tried to keep secret, Happily, says The
Globe, there is not the slightest chance
of serious result to the issue. The
presidents buster is merely an election
appeal to a certain class of electors, and
especially the Irish, who love to see
Great Britain insulted.

NEW York, March 25.-In his dis
patch to his paper about the sealery sit
uation The Herald's Washington man
says:
/ have learned that two vessels have
already left San Francisco for Behring
sea. They are the revenue cutters Cor
win and Albatross. 1t seems singular
that they could have cleared from the
Golden Gate three or four days ago, as
they did, without attracting the atten-
tion of anybody, but such is the fact.
These two vessels are supposed to have
reached by this time point somewhere
near Port Townsend and they will move
northward along the coast keeping
lookout for poaching vessels, intending,
if possible. to reach the sealing grounds
ahead of the Canadians.
Frank Hatton Shouts War.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The voice
of Mr.. Frank Hatton, of the Washing
ton Post, Thursday morning, is for war.
He winds up long editorial of threat
enings and slaughter as follows:
"Let war come if it must in uphold
ing our rights at any cost to coast or
lake cities. These injuries will be tenn
porary. Thereafter the next treaty of
peace between these United States and
Great Britain will provide for the fin |
withdrawal of the English flag from the
North American continent"
