Real Admiral Benham entered into
communication with President Peixoto,
and Informed the latter OF the visit ne
had received from Admiral Da Cana
ana OF the request made by the insur-
gent commander about mediation.
President Peixoto IL reported to have
assured the Rear Admiral that he
was willing to meet the insurgents n
the matter. and that 10 the Amer
can oncer could bring about
meeting between the representative of
the President and Admiral da Cana, on
board the United States Flagship. some
arrangement might be made which
would put an end To the useless warfare
now going on. Rear Admiral Benham
Is SAID TO have cabled these facts To
Washington, and received authority to
act In the matter. This was only the
substance Of the instructions sent, ad-
vice being also given as to the manner
In which the peace negotiations were
conducted.
After receiving the reply from Wash
lngton. according to the Information
Impaired to the Associated Press cor
respondent at Rio de Janeiro. Rear
Admiral Benham notified Admiral da
Cana and President Peixoto that he
was in position TO Invite them or
their representatives TO conference
on board the United States Flag
snip looking 10 a settlement OF the NAB
tiers in dispute. Accordingly President
Peixoto sent his secretary on board the
San Francisco, where he met Admiral
da Cana, and the situation was dis
cussed In the presence OF the American
Rear Admiral. The result Of this con-
ference Is not known, but IL IL believed
In Rio do Janeiro that the exchange OF
views on board the flagship will lead
eventually to peace.
Admiral da Cana is said to have
made propositions which were regarded
as entirely too favorable to the insurg-
ents, and President Peixoto would not
be aole to accept them. But the prin-
ciple OF arbitration seems To have been
accepted by both sides, and it is believed
that Rear Admiral Benham will succeed
In drawing forth concessions which will
result In an early settlement OF the
matters still remaining in dispute. An
other meeting OF the two representa-
tives is expected In day or two.
The correspondent at Rio says In con-
clusion that Rear Admiral Benham has
cabltd the substance OF the conference
TO Washington, and that his future &C
ton, TO some degree, depends upon ad-
dltional advices expected from the Unl-
ted States.

THE PULLMAN BOYCOTT
Will Work Havoc With the Attendance st the Christian Endeavor Convention.

CLEVELAND, O., July 3.-The great strike and boycott against the Pullman cars threaten to work havoc with the attendance on the Christian Endeavor convention which meets in Cleveland next week. Messages from passenger agents of all the local lines who are now out looking up this business indi- cate that the people are pretty well scared and many will stay at home rather than run the risk of being laid out along the road. On July , a spe. cial train load of endeavorers was to have left san Francisco for Cleveland. As there is not wheel turning on any road out of that city they wit hot be able to get here.

A Good Word for Arkansas.


 The following is taken from the edi- torial column of the Kansas City (Mo.) Times:
 About 800 fruit growers of Arkansas assem- bled in convention at Magnolia recently. A state organization was perfected. and steps taken to establish experimental farm in Columbia county As fruit growing country Arkansas has no superior on the continent. It is great state, scarcely started in the develop ment of it's resources. It raises the finest cotton on the globe, fruit of every description is a certain crop every year, it's mountains are full Of lead and zinc and coal and inexhaustible timber adds to its wealth It's climate is mild and salubrious. Nature has endowed the state with the most fiattering possibilities. It's peo- pie are hospitable and full of energy, and the day is not far distant when the scales of preju- dice will drop from the eyes of capital. and Arkansas will take the place she properly de- serves, one of the grandest. richest and most progressive commonwealths in the Union.

Evidences of an Awful Crime.
On Friday night. June 20. Ely Steel


 On Friday night, June %. Ely Steele, mulatto, killed his wife in Fulton.
 He then proceeded to bury her but short distance from the scene of the butchery. An effort to dispose of the body was first made at the east side of the residence. where an exca- vatiOn was attempted. but the ground being too compact this point was deserted and another sought 400 yards distant. The ground here did not yield to the spade anticipated, although upon the borders of Q lake. and. finding the task of digging more laborious than was ex- pected, the murderer, after having made a shallow opening in the earth about IS inches in depth and 24 in width, deposited his victim therein. and by

Ely Steele. the murderer. has for hlonths past been paying more than ordinary attention to

 in Fulton. and his liaison with the latter in- duced the crime with which he now stands charged. and for which he is held in jail. The remains were disinterred and. the spec tacle presented was one of exceeding horror, Decomposition had made advances to such an extent that it was next to impossible to view the remains with any certainty or identity satisfaction, and it was only by the quilt in which the remains were wrapped together with the underwear and other wearing apparel left in the house, biood-stained and shattered. in the struggle for life between husband and wife, that the jury could come to a certain conclu sion as to the identity of the murdered woman.
 THE MURDERER
 did not deny having participated in the crime, but stated that others were engaged in the tragedy. and said that he would see that his accomplices should also bear with him the criminal prosecution that he we'll aware would follow. At the opera house. where hearing was held before the coroner's jury, the building was packed to it's utmost capacity. and for fear of violence the prisoner removed at an early hour and not again brought into the room.

Suit Against an Arkansas County. The St. Louis Republic of June 90


 The St. Louis Republic of June 90 says:
 w. H. Thompson sued Searcy county. Ark, for S24 900 worth of county warrants. The de- fense was that the county was not q corpora tion, capable of suing and being sued, but was simply legal subdivision of the state. The warrants were issued to build a courthouse at time when there was no money in the treas ury that could be used for that purpose, and when the circumstances of the county did not permit the levy of a tax for that pur- pose. The warrants were illegally issued be- cause no appropriation or levy of taxes had been previously made for that purpose. The warrants were issued to the contractor on a contract to build the courthouse for S33. 100, when in point of fact the structure did not cost more than Sl000O. The law requires warrants to go dollar for dollar, according to the legal, ordinary and customary compensation for la- Dor and materials, and not B for Si. The court Judge John A. Williams) found for the com. plainant for the amount sued for. The county then appealed to the United States court of appeals, and the papers in the case were filed yesterday.

Assistant Secretary Of the Interior Rey-
nolds has rendered decision in the appeal
case Of Alvin West. formerly of the Ken
lucky State Guards. The decision is one
Of the most important yet rendered by
Judge Reynolds because 1t affects a large
number of cases Of pension claimants The
decision sets forth that a state militiaman
is not pensionable unless his disability was
incurred in the line of duty while actually
in the service of the United States under
the authority Of the President. Section
1858 of the Revised Statutes is held not Is
apply to the case. as he was neither wound
ed nor injured in battle with rebels or In
dams, and because he had not prosecuted
his claim to successful issue prior to July
4, 1874.
Judge Reynolds in disposing OF the case
rules that a state militiaman under orders
from a United States officer is not thereby
in the service of the United States, and
military organization is not in the United
States service unless it is made a part of
the army by being ordered or mustered
into the service by the President.
