HAvEMEYER INDICTED.

WASHINGTON, October 1.-The
grand jury at 2 o'clock today
brought in indictments against
Henry o. Havemeyer and John E.
Searles, of the sugar trust, and AL
Ian L, Seymour, OF the stock bro
kerage firm of Seymour & Young,
for refusal to answer questions put
to them by the Senate sugar trust
investigating committee. The grand
jury also brought in an indictment
against Mr.. Mccartney, of the firm
of Carson & Mccartney, this last,
however, being merely to protect a
previous report. All Of
these cases will come up for argu-
ment on demurrers October u. The
indictments each cover twenty
eight pages of large typewriter
sheets. The history of the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill is rehears-
ed in the contests. These indict-
ments differ somewhat from the
others, from the fact that the per-
tinency of the questions are some
what further removed and that
two members of the investigating
committee held that the questions
which Havemeyer and Searles re-
fused to answer were not pertinent.
The question requested the specific
amounts contributed in the differ
ent States to campaign funds and
one point urged that the contribu-
tions we're not to national cam
paign funds.

CHINESE TREATY RATIFIED.
Informal Notice Given of China's
Ratification of the United States
Exclusion Act.

Washington dispatches, yester-
day, announces that notification
has been given to the government
in an informal way, of the ratifica
tion by the Chinese government of
the new treaty between the United
States and China, which was nego-
tiated by Secretary of State Gresh-
am and the Chinese minister, Yang
Yu, and ratified by the senate on
the part of the United States. On
ly the formal exchange of ratifca-
tions between the department of
state and The minister is to be
transacted to make the treaty the
law governing the relations of the
two powers, and this ceremony will
doubtless take place within one
month.
Minister Yang Yu called upon
Secretary Gresham last week and
said to him that he had received
word from his government that it
had ratified the treaty and that
the document had been forwarded
to him; also that he has received
instructions to exchange ratifca-
tions with the United States as
soon as it was delivered to him.
The treaty with the Chinese seal
and signature, was sent from Pekin
about four weeks ago, being for
warded by way of Shanghai In

upon information that complaint
had been made against him in be-

pany them here.

the ordinary course of communica-
tion six weeks would be required
for its transmittal to Washington,
so that it is not expected for two
weeks.
The minister said: This is the
first authentic information received
in this country regarding the ac-
tion of the Chinese authorities on
the treaty, SO long a time has
elapsed since the treaty was drawn
that speculations had begun to
float about in semi-ofhcial circles,
which, dIsregarding the distance
between the two capitals and the
time required for communication
questioned whether the Chinese
authorities intended to ratify the
treaty, whether they were not dis
satisfied with it, or whether or not
delaying the exchange of ratifca-
tions was to serve some diplomatic
purpose of their own. 1t would
seem from the information given to
the secretary of state by the Chi
nese minister that the speculations
have been without ground. AS the
diplomatic business OF the govern
ment, is from its nature, transferr-
ed secretly. Yang Yu's communica-
tion to the Secretary of state was
not made known until secretary
Gresham's attention was called to
the speculations ahoat concerning
the course of the Chinese govern
ment.
Secretary Gresham gave to the
Associated Press representative
the true status of the matter and
said in effect tlat the reports that
there was any cause for dissatisfac-
tion over the way China was pro-
ceeding toward consummation of
the treaty were entirely ground
less.

TRAIN ROBBERS AGAIN.
Three Desperate Bandits Make a Big
Haul on the Southern
Pacific.

PHOENIX, Ariz. Oct, 1.-The east
bound Southern Pacific train was
held up one mile east of Marucopa
by three men. One of the robbers
rode on the blind baggage out of
Marucopl while the other two flag
ged the train. AS it Stacked up,
the fellow aboard passed quickly
into the engine and at the point of
two revolvers forced Engineer Hol-
hday and fireman Martin to descend
uncouple the engine and proceed
ahead of the train for half or three
quarters of a mile. In the mean
time one masked robber entered
the express car while the other
stood guard. No shots were fired
nor were the passengers alarmed
while the robbery was in progress.
The engineer and fireman were
walked back ahead of iobber No /
to the express car, They arrived
about the same time the other two
we're ready to- depart. All three
then mounted horses, which were
tied near, and struck out toward
the Mexican line which is five miles
from the track,
The amounts which the Wells
Fargo messenger report having
been captured is $1,000, but there
is a current report that the robbers
got $40, 600 in gold.
Their trail was struck early this
morning by Sheriffs Drais and Muir
ply, accompanied by Deputies
Widener and Prathero.

TWO YEARS EXPENSES.
WHAT 1T COSTS TO RUN THE
STATE GOVERNMENT.
An Interesting Statement to be Incor-
porated in the Auditors Bien-
nial Report.

State Auditor Mills has prepared
the following interesting statement
of the running expenses of the state
government to be incorporated in
his biennial report. 1t shows the
expenses from October l, 1892, to
October l, 1894, and is practically
correct, with the exception of as
SCISSORS fees or other small amounts
which may be paid out between this
and Saturday night. There is a
deficit in the funds appropriated
for several purposes, but a balance
will be left from a majority of the
appropriations to apply on next
years expenses. The cost Of the
maintenance of the state institu-
tions show a great increase, due to
the increase in the number of in
mates. The expenses are as fol
lows:

Forced to Swallow Poison.

Miss Mary Pierson, aged twenty
wears, living near Saltpetre Cave, in
Botetourt county, Va, was assaulted
and nearly killed last Sunday by an
unknown white man. Miss Pierson
had gone out to the field, about one
fourth mile from her house, to let some
COWS out of the pasture. She was in
the act of picking up rail to shut the
gap when the man stepped up behind
her. grabbed her arm, showed a pistol
in her face and told her if she said a
word he would blow her brains out.
He then tied her hands behind her,
after an apparent struggle, as her neck
shows the entire prints Of his fingers,
showing she had been terribly choked.
He also forced her, at the point of a
pistol, to swallow pill, after which he
cut her loose. She became uncon-
scious for time, but finally recovered
enough to get home The pill must
have contained some poisonous drug,
as the girl has been in intense agony
ever since, and at times she raves like
a crazy person. Before the news of
the crime could be reported to the
nearest telegraph station, which was
Eagle Rock, the man had purchased a
ticket from that point to Clifton Forge
on q train. saving his home was
at Ronceverte, Va. He got on the
"blind" baggage, and the conductor
did not see him till Gala Water was
reached. On arriving at Glen Wilton,
Conductor Harris received telegram
giving an imperfect description Of the
man. The conductor then kept a close
watch on the man, but as the train
slowed up the fellow made rush for
the door, closely followed by the news
agent, who made grab for him and
secured his hat. Conductor Harris
fired five shots at the man as he took
to the bushes closely pursued by the
train crew and passengers, but the
underground being thick, made good
his escape in the direction of Callie
Furnace. Much excitement prevails.
The mountain passes and all probable
places of escape are being guarded.
Crowds of determined men are scour-
ing the mountains, and if the brute IS
caught, lynchinS Is certain.

Never were there so many twins in

Babies are crying and cooling all day

Hall made an announcement of the

in sex. When Landlord A. j. Solo

Mans Inhumanity to Himself.

The most inbuman outrages, outrages
which would disgrace the savage, man per-
petrates upon his own system by swallowing
drastic purgatives which convulse his sto N =
ach, agon ize his intestines and weaken his
system. Many people constantly do this
under the impression that medicaments
only which are violent in their action, and
particularly cathartics, are OF any avail.
Irreparable injury to health is wrought I'M
der this mistaken idea. The laxative, which
most nearly approaches the beneficent action
Cf nature is Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
which is painless but thorough, and invig-
