Government to Withdraw 1t.
(Copyrtqht, 1892. bg the ~ Y. Associated Press. }
LONDON, Sept. 30.-Ths appearance Of
the Belgian expedition under Van Kochove
on the Upper Nile, within the British sphere
of influence, has led the English foreign
Office to intimate that Belgium must with
draw the expedition. King Leopold, how
ever, is trying bis personal influence, by the
British court and managers of the East
Africa Company, to induce Lord Rosebery TO
consent TO the absorption Of part OF the
Upper Nile country into the Congo
state. King Leopold cites the fact that
Lord Salisbury, when informed Of
the proposed expedition. offered no
objection, but documents in the foreign
Office show that Lord Salisbury afterward,
on finding that the Begians aimed TO obtain
an outlet on the Upper Nile for the Congo
state, formally inumGtsd that the whole
Of the Nile provinces were in the British
sphere and that the presence Of Belgian
forces would not be tolerated.

MURDER NEAR FBRNANDINA.
Robert T. Craig's Mutnated Body
Found in the Woods.

Robert T. Craig's Mutlated Body
Found in the Woods.
FERYANDINA. FLA, Sept. 30.-Ten days
ago Robert T. Craig came from BrunswIck
to this place in search Of work. Yesterday
evening his mutilated body was found in
the woods near the beack, bearing evidence
of foul murder The bach of his head had
been crushed by heavy blow from behind
and the pockets were turned out. Robbery
was the motive and murder the means. The
coroner's jury rendered a verdict implicat-
ing Henry Muller, and he was lodged in jail.
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.
The evidence shows that Muller and
Craig were seen together on a road leading
to the scene OF tho murder last Sunday
afternoon, Muller returned alone, and
since that time Craig has not been seen.
Yesterday Muller requested two friends to
20 with him TO Willow pond in search of
ducks. On the road they found the body.
Buzzards had torn the eutrails ont and
picked the eyes from their sockets. The
preteKt Of going to the pond 10 look for
ducks is considered ridiculous, as there are
no wild ducks at this season. Craig was
formerly a commission merchant ct Bruns-
wick, and was well connected there. Muller
does not bear a good character, but is OF a
respeCta bic family.

New YORK, Sept. SO.-The arrival of the
United States steamer Philadelphia at

statements regarding the recent accident on

when the explosion occurred bag Of pris-
matte powder used in the 6-Inch gun was
lying on the deck Immediately beneath the
hreech and in direct line with the
particles Of burning powder and rags. This
powder, or rather bag that held it, caught
up the burning fragments and another ex-
plosion seemed imminent. At this juncture
one Of the men sprang forward
and before this powder had been reached
by the flame he had thrown the whole

fusion OF the moment may besj be under

forward, grasped the man by the hand, and
assured him that be had saved the vessel
from a dreadful accident. A prom

OF the matter yesterday, said that

evening and last night 1900 miners, en-
ployed in the Norrie iron mine, took turns
at working In the relief party seeking to
rescue the eleven men buried in No. shaft
by the fall of ground yesterday morning
Shifts were made every ten minutes and the
men worked heroically. Their efforts we're
directed toward driving the new drift to
the tifth level, where the men were sup
posed TO be. Late last night signals
were given by the relief party and
answered by the entombed men by pound
ing on the iron pillar, which extends from
the surface to the chambers, where the mon
are imprisoned, SO it is certain that some OF
them were alive at that time. The scenes
about the mouth Of No. shaft have been
most narrowing. The wives, children and
friends Of the entombod men are waiting in
heart-breaking suspense for news of their
loved ones, aud have moved strong men to
tears by their supplications.

men, was rescued at $50 O'Clock this morn

OUR PUBLIC BUILDING.
SAVANNAH BOARD OF TRADES
COMMUNICATION Received.

The Governments Position as TO the
Delay Misunderstood - Working
Plans TO be Ready to Break Ground in
the Spring Advertisements for the
Sale of the Old Site Soon TO be Pub
lished.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 39.-The Secretary
Of the Treasury to-day received a communi-
cation from the Savannah Board Of Trade
about the public building, aud referred IL to-
the supervising architect OF the treasury.
The latter will reply through the secretary
that before receiving this communication
he had determined 60 go ahead with the
plans for the new building. He said today
that he hoped to have the sketch plans
ready and approved by the Secretary Of the
Treasury by the end OF October, aud works
ing plans ready and approved in time to
break ground in the spring. He thought
the position OF the treasury depart
mept had not been understood. Its
announcement that it would await legisla-
tion respecting the sale of the old lot was
based upon the expectation that congress
would provide for adding the proceeds oe
the old site to the total possible appropria-
tion under the limit Of cost fixed by the law
authorizing the purchase OF the site and the
construction of the building. But congress
having provided in the sundry civil bill thau
the proceeds Of the old site should be avail-
able, but should be counted in as part Of the
total possible appropriation under the limit
OF cost, there was no reason for longer delay
in the preparations for the building. Cons
sequently he proposed to 90 on with the
plans. Within short time ne will also
publish the advertisements for the sale Of
the old site.
