PHOENIX, AriZ., April 20.-Sheriff Kelton
and posse returned last night to Tombstone
from their pursuit Of the murderers of old
man Laselle at his camp in Chirachan
Mountains, who were found to be three
Mexicans. They were trailed to the town
of Santa Cruz, across the border, and there
lost. On the return trip 1t was learned that
a man named Stone, who was last seen
when going up into the San Jose Noun
tains alter wood, was missing for the same
time as Lasele. The posse started on the
trail and found Stone murdered at Mouth
Canyon, the body stripped of everything of
value. He was known to have $40 in money.
Around the vicinity we're found tracks of
animals and men which led into the fast
nesses of Harshawa Mountains. Later it
was learned that there were 10 men in the
gang which murdered Stone and Lasalie.
A number of animals were stolen during
the past week, aud it is believed that a

ing of the national silver committee, APP
pointed by the first national silver conven-
tion, held in st. Louis in November. 1889. is

make an effort to recover the ground which
the silver men assert that they lost yester-
day through the vote in the Senate upon the
Kyle amendment to the Arizona funding
bill, for when the bill was placed before the
House to-day Delegate Smith moved TO nom
concur in the Senate amendments, the prin-
cipal one being the lawful money"

a Cashier Robs the Rothschilds and Absconds
With the Funds.
BERLIN. April 20.-A sensation has been
caused on the Bourse by the report that
Herr Jaeger, chief cashier of the great
banking-house Of the ROthschlds at Frank
fort, is defaulter for over 1000, 600 marks.
Some time ago he was missed from his post
and AS time elarsed and he did not appear,
partial examination of his books was
made. This resulted in the declaration that
he was an abscondeT. As the examination
of the books is not yet concluded the exact
amount of the defalcation is not known.
No denial, however, was made of the state
ment that the stealing reached 900, 600
marks. 1t is said Jaeger has the greater
part OF the stolen money in his possession,
and, under an assumed name, is endeayor-
Ing to reach foreign country, probably the
United States.
Herr Jaeger's father has been the head
cashier for many years, and the long con-
nection of his father and himself with the
great concern had won for the younger
Jaeger the respect and esteem of the mem
bers of the house. 1t is reported that he
speculated on the Bourse and bis ventures
proved unsuccessful, aud TO this fact is at
tributed in great measure his downfall.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.
Gladstone States His Reasons for opposini
the Franchise to Women


LONDON, April 20.-Gladstone has writ
ten a pamphlet on the question of female
suffrage and gives his reasons for opposing
the enfranchsement Of women. He considers
the question ought to be further discussed
by the press ard on the platform, and that
the time is not yet ripe for legislative inter-
ference. Gladstone notes as an objection
that the woman suffrage bill excludes mar
ried women, who are equally or better quail
ifed TO exercise the franchise than single
women. He further contends that the sex
largely opposes the proposed reform, which
would open the question of the right of
women to fill any public Office. He does not
fear that women would encroach upon the
power OF man. but does fear "lest we unwit-
tingly invite her TO trespass on the purity,
delieacy and elevation of her own nature"
