LONDON. May PA dispatch to the Times
from Madrid says there was sickening
spectacle in the bull ring there this after
noon. FL Espartero, q well-kn own matador,
whiie engaging the first bull sent into the
ring, was caught by one Of the horns Of the
animal and his abdomen was ripped open. He
died in five minutes.
LONDON. May 28.-The Standards CORE
spont at Madrid sends further details of the
killing OF Ell Espartero. The bull. which was
a very wild animal, had killed four horses,
and became extremely fierce when the bander-
illeros fixed their darts In his neck.
Six thousand persons were watching tho
fight and the excitement was intense. The
bull was almost In the center of the arena.

His eyes cleaned wickedly as Ell Espartero
approached him with his usual daring, which
brought forth plaudits from the spectators.
As he got near the inuriaied bull, 1t made a
rush for him and knocked him down. He
was not apparently hurt, for he sprane
nimbly to his feet and again attacked the
animal, which had wheeled about, prepara-
tory to making another charge upon his
enemy,
There was moment of suspense, and then
with lowered head the bull rushed at the
matador, who agilely sprang to one side and
plunged his dagger into the neck OF the ami
NAL.
Just as he did so the bull swung his head in
the direction OF Ell Espartero. at the same time
lifting it. One Of the animals horns caught
the unfortunate matador in the abdomen and
tore his body open almost up TO the chest.
Blood poured from the ghastly wound in q

ground. He was at once carried to m in

injuries mortal.

upon which FL Espartero had been placed.
In five minutes the man was dead.
The spectators, or at least the greater por-
tion OF them. did not propose that their pleas

who had been well paid to assist in making
a holiday for them, and SO the fight was con-
tinued as soon rs the excitement had. some

El Espartero was engaged to be married
and the wedding was to have taken place
shortly. He was extremely popular, and had
made a large fortune 1t was his intention
to retire from the ring next year.

The Governors Intervention in the matter
has been a surprise 10 operators and miners,
and his contemplated visit here was NOT
known by anyone in this section until he had
left Harrisburg. Operators who had an idea
that resumption was possible this week now
say there can be nothing done until the con-
ference Is held. provided the controlling
operators will agree to a conference.
Miners are free to confess that they do not
understand the motive which prompted the
Governors visit. They prefer to believe that
1t was an honest effort Oh the part OF the Gov
ernor to bring about settlement Of the trou-
BILE at an early day, but there is also an
opinion prevalent that he may havs had an
intimation that the operators intended to
introduce new men this week. and
thought II advisable to give the miners in ad-
vance the plain warning contained in his
speech. that any attempt to prevent the new
men from working would bring them in con-
fiict with the state. The Governor and Ad-
jutant General Greenland left for Harrisburg

where they went in the hope of bringing
about speedy adjustment OF the trouble
between the striking coal miners and the
operators. The Governor was seen at the
executive mansion after his return, but he
declined to discuss the probable results Of the
trip, on the ground that having agreed to act
as an arbitra'or in the settlement Of the diff

would not be proper for him to talk on the
situation. He expects to have conference
with the operators in few days, and will en-
deavor TO have both sides agree to arbitrate
He says the miners are willing 10 take this
course, and thinks the operators will also con-
sent to dc SO. The Governor is pleased with
the courteous manner in which he was re-
ceiyed by the miners. and is convinced that
the strike will be settled without loss of prop

was found the cars were sidetracked. nthe
Big Four the trains were also held up and ex-
amined.
The miners wives are still in charge of the
Big Four coal shutes and refuse to let the
company coal lis engines. At Lyford, on the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois there was some
excitement to-day when a train crew from
Danviile. Ills, attempted TO move a number
OF loaded coal cars captured from the Terre
Haute men Saturday. The miners climbed on
the cars and set the brakes, refusing to let
the coal be moved.
The 700 miners who came into the city
bound for Pana. H., on a captured Big Four
train have all returned home to await the
outcome of Springfield operators and miners

THE New York World Of yerterday contains
long sketch Of the life Of John Scanned, who
is said to be a prospective successor OF Dick
Croker as tho big chief of Tammany. Only a
short time ago the World gave an elaborate.
illustrated history of the career of Mr.. Croker,
in which it exhibited him as a ward heller,
prize-hghter. and winding up with his arrest
and trial for murder. According to the
World, Mr.. Scannell has passed through
pretty much the same experiences. In fact,
thereis striking similarity in the career of
the two men. Mr.. Scannell seems to have
followed closely in the footsteps Of the re-
tired chieftain.

ONE point it would be well for advertisers
to bear in mind, A majority OF the labor
bodies OF this city have stock in THE TIMES,
as organizations or as individuals; many Of
them have passed resolutions indorsing it and
pledging their support to its patrons. No
other paper has SO many active, jealous, and
unselfsh friends who daily scan its columns
to find out where to buy. Therefore the in
sertion of an advertisement will bring better
and surer results than If placed elsewhere.

Protecting of Game.

State Commissioner Of Fish and Game
Barrett writes the TRIBUNE that he has
letters from the transportation COM
panies-railway and express-operating
in North Dakota, in which assurance is
given that all game laws will be respect
ed, and that every effort will be made to
prevent illegal shipments. And more
than this, not only do the letters indi-
cate each line is in hearty sympathy
with the fish and game department in
the effort to suppress he shipment OF
game out of the state, and to restrict
the number within the state to twelve
birds per day from each shipper for
domestic consumption, and sale in the
market, but copies Of most positive in
structions and circulars accompanied
the letters, wherein the agents and en-
ployes Of the lines receive specific
instructions to obey the game laws Of
North Dakota, some companies fixing
the penalties for disobeying these in
structions at dismissal from the service.
Commissioner Barrett says that these
actions Of the transportation companies
are Of great value in the preservation Of
the game supply in the state, and that
the shipments Of large quantities out OF
the state, been nearly, is not quite dis
oouraged.

DIDN'T TOTE FAIR.

English Accused of Sinking in the Behr.
ing Sea Patrol.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Sept. 2O.-
Unless radical changes are made in the
arrangements existing between Great
Britain and tn, United States in the
matter of protecting seals, it is more
than likely that the Behring sea feet
next year will consist only of one or
two revenue cutters. Ever since the
joint patrol arrangement was entered
into, Great Britain has shirked it's duty
and thrown seven-eighths of the work
on the United States. This year, as
was the case last season, the work Of
patrolling thesea against pelagic seal
ers wa performed by nine American
vessels, while the queens interests
were looked after by one small gunboat.
The entire result Of this seasons work
resulted in two British schooners being
seized by American %gunboats, and their
release speedily followed the hearing Of
the cases before the British admiral at
Victoria, who held that the seizures
were made irregularly.
The vessels referred to were the Vic
toria schooners Wanderer and Favorite,
the latter having been released Satur-
day last. The business Of the patrol
car be readily understood when it is
known $500, 900 was expended in main.
tanning it, while, the sealers are
making as large, if not larger, catches
than those Of the preceding easons. It
is a notorious fact that never since the
joint marine police force has been es-
tablished have the Britishers entered
upon the work with more than a half
hearted interest. Their ships spent the
greater part Of the time at Sitka and
Onalaska, with their officers off on
hunting and fishing excursions. Their
neglect has called down much adverse
criticism, and it is more than probable
that next year u fleet will be made up
of one or two revenue cutters, if pri-
waite information just received is cor
rect. .-

which followed with the Japanese
6eet, the Chin Yu, or Chen Yu of the
Chinese fleet was sunk, and the Chao
Hung and the Yang Wei are reported
to have been run ashore. One of the
China warships and three Japanese
ships are also said to have been lost.
According to the Chinese version
there was no thought of surrender on
either side. The ships of both nations,
1t is admitted, were terribly damaged.
The Japanese had the advantage of the
weather berth and so m%anoeuvered that
both the Chinese war boats and trans
ports had to fight it out. The Chen
Yuen, these dispatches say, after fight
ing her guns to the last, was sunk by
torpedoes, and a smaller Chinese vessel,
which was unarmored, was blown up,
The steel cruiser Chao Yung, tits added,
was SO damaged that she had to be
beached to escape capture. The cruiser
Yang Hal was also driven ashore and
has become a hopeless wreck.
The advices say that it is significant
that the two or three Chinese transports
which were conveyed by the warships
Of China have not returned, and it is
rumored that they were all blown up
with a loss of all hands on board. From
Chinese g%arrisons, it is gathered that
the loss on both sides in the naval en-.
gagement will reach several thousand.
