THE MURDERER ESCAPES.

Evanston, wy, Oct. 2O.-(special)-
Henry Wade an old timer was snoc
and killed here this morning by
Frank Martin, a bartender 1t ap-
pears Wade was drunk and accused
Martin of trying to persuade Wade's
wife to elope with him to Colorado
This Martin denied, and told Wade
to go away and leave him alone
Wade seemed spelling for fight, and
kept following Martin around, max
ing threats. The trouble commenced
lin Lezearts' saloon, and as the
quarrel proceeded they moved around
until they found themselves at the
corner of Fourth and Front streets,
near the Walnut saloon. Wade dared
Martin to shoot and the latter said he
did not care to do so. Wade then
struck Martin in the face. The latter
pulled a gun and fired three shots.
One entered Wade's heart, and
death was instantaneous. Martin
ran across the river and secreted him
self in the brush. The county officers
deputized several men to search for
him, but thus far they have been I'M
successful. Martin is a young man,
2S years of age, and was born and
raised in Evanston. He has been
| tending bar for L. H. Lezearts for
some time past.
The general opinion is that he has
been intimate with Wade's wife and
that this fact caused the trouble.

Capetown, Oct 2O.-There is no truth
whatever in the sensational reports ca

and routed them, afterwards forming a
Junction, and are now advancing on
Buluwayo, the capital of King Lo-
bengula's territory,with every probable
ity Of being able to drive him out. In
one of the engagements one hundred
Matabeles were killed and only one
British officer was seriously hurt. The
British force numbers between 1000
and $1,000 1t is estimated King Loben-
gula can muster 10000 to 10000 warriors.
The forces are advancing with great
caution to guard against surprise.

HAVE STRUCK 4 sNAG.
The Democratic Steering Committee Not
at All Serene.

at All Serene.
Washington, Oct. 2O.-It looked at 4
O. clock today as if the terms of the
Democratic compromise on the repeal
bill had been settled. At 5 o'clock,
however, it became apparent there
was an obstacle in the way of bringing
the matter to a climax. There was a
disagreement over the bond feature
and also over the time at which the
repeal of the Sherman act should take
effect 1t appears the administration
members of the Democratic steering
committee discovered, when these
points were reached, that they could
not accept them as provided in the
document. 1t is considered probable
that they made an effort to have the
time for the expiration of the Sherman
law fixed at the first of July, 1894, in
stead of January 1, 1895. 1t is asserted
that the treasury officials said if the
purchase of silver bullion should cease
in July of next year it would be pos
sible to preserve the parity without
action upon the bond question, and as
some of the staunchest repeal Demo-
Gratis are opposed to the bond PROPOSE
ton, it is probable there will be an
effort tonight in the direction of re-
uuSihS nc Iilue VI Tie future exist
ence of the present law and the elm
ination of the bond proposition alto
gether- The conference came to an
end without reaching any agreement,
but with the understanding that an
other effort will be made, probably to-
morrow. Some silver Democrats said
| if the steering committee did not reach
a conclusion by Monday, they would
! join with the Republicans and pass
Senator Quay's amendment, which ex-
tends the Sherman law until January,
1886, or a year longer than the best
that was offered to the silver men hv
the Democratic bill. On the other
hand, Senator Hill says he has already
received assurance of large vote for
his proposed cloture resolution on the
Democratic side, as soon as it becomes
apparent the steering committee can
not agree.

THE GOVERNORS AND THE PUGs.
The Former Threaten TO Make 1t Lively
For the Latter.

Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 2O.-The .Su-
preme court today granted super
cedeas to the Columbian Athletic club
This, in effect, is the transfer of the
treceivership to the club itself. The
club has given a bond for $4,000 and
the property will be returned. 1t will
keep it intact until the final decision
of the case now pending in the Su-
preme court. A new significance was
added to the ruling since the an
nouncement that the Corbett-Aitchell
mill cannot take place at Coney Is
land.
Governor Foster, of Louisiana, also
threatens to make it exceedingly in
teresting to the pugilists if they at
tempt to fight at New Orleans.
Governor Matthews today said: IF
there is a power in the state to pre-
vent the fight, it will not take place at
Roby, not anywhere in Indiana

Indications That the Repeal Struggle is
Nearing the End.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-There is ex-
Icellent reason for saying that before
the middle of the next week the repeal
bill will pass the Senate and take
effect not later than the first of Octo-
Der. 1894, probably with a provision
authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to issue bonds not exceeding $780,
100000, and coin the seignorage now in
the treasury. This, it is said, would
not be considered as a surrender by

most persons, particularly those who have
been the quickest ip condemning the stand
assumed by the administration without know
ing of the real facts of the case. Commits
sioner Blounts report, it can be asserted on
high authority, will show conelusively that
the monarchial government was overthrown
by precoHcerted schemes of some dishonest
persons, and was not the result ofrecalcitrants
on the islands who were dissatisfied with the
Queen or her administration; that the proyi-
sional government had its birth in the United
States under assurances made by parties con-
nected with the last administration that this
country would be prompt to recognize the
new government, and that closer relations
than existed with the monarchial government
of the islands would follow.
The President has reserved for the convinc-
ing shells the contents of Mr.. Blount's report,
together with other documents in the posses
sion ofthe State Department. These papers,
it is said, will prove without doubt that Min
lister Stevens was the prime mover in bringing
about the uprising which resulted in dethron-
ing the Queen. Mr.. Mott Smith is believed
also to have been in the agreement, as were
some other persons in the United States. Of
the committee of thirteen, known as the COM
mittee on public safety, six were Americans.
These were all in what is now termed the
conspiracy against an unsuspecting and help
less country. Other papers with the Secre-
tary are said to be full ofevidence from every
side showing the carefully planned scheme
and which is unanswerabe. The President
and his entire cabinet are confident that when
the country is in possession of these facts the
whole sentiment will undoubtedly approve OF
his action
