WHO THEY WERE.
Adiutant- General Tarsney's Assailants Known and Arrests Being
 Made.

DENvER, Aug. S.-The News today says Joseph K. Wilson, an El Paso county dep- pty sheriff, captured by Adiutant- General Tarsney in Missouri, has made full con- fession and given to Chief of Police Arm strong the names of all the men connected with the outrage committed in Colorado Springs few weeks ago. He confirmed the story that the murderer from El Paso county jail was allowed to help put tar and feathers on Colorado's adjutant- general.
 According to Wilson's story the men en- gagged in the disgraceful enterprise were Sheriff Bowers, his deputy sheriff, Bob Mullins, Captain Saxton of Troop A, Ser geant Bancroft of Troop A, Deputy Sheriff J. R. Wilson, Deputy Quackenbosh, Sher- idan Crumlet, Walter Crumlet, "Shorty'' Allen, Smith Shellenberger and perhaps one or two others, including woman.
 The police now have three confessions, those of Wilson, Parker and the prisoner in Fl Paso county jail who is being held as a witness to the murder committed in Cripple Creek. These men will all be brought before the grand jury now sitting in Colorado Springs.
 Chief of Police Armstrong confirms the report that Wilson made full confession as stated in the News.

DISCUSSED BY MAN IN POSITION TO
 KNOW.
 LONDON, Aug. 7.-Captain Lang, a former director in the Chinese navy and supervisor of the building of many forts, said in an interview today: ..The Chinese are we'll trained and excellent marksmen. China's navy is about equal to Japan s. Tho Japs have more dash than the Chinese have, but all depends upon how the Chinese are led. If they have conh- dence in their leaders they will face any thing without fear of death. If Admiral Ting led them they would prove themselves a splendid force. Some of the Chinese of- ticers, particularly those trained in Amer ica, are bright examples of everything they should be. The Chinese forts are well to the fore. .''
 Captain Lang said that his opinions were based upon the condition of things in 1890, when he left China. He feared that disci- pine had become lax since theEuropean in- fiuence was withdrawn.

That's Oates Official Majority in
 Jefferson. LEGISLATIVE TICKET AHEAD By All the Way From Five Hundred to a Thousand
 Majority.
LEGISLATIVE TICKET AHEAI

The returns from all the boxes in Jeffer- son are in and Oates has carried the county by a scratch.
 The legislative ticket, however, is elected entire by from 800 to 300, the lowest democrat being several hundred ahead of the highest populite.
 The table published this morning gives the vote on governor from all the beats. On the legislature several beats are omitted from want of returns. The proportions will hold good, however.
 There were no incidents yesterday. Crowds collected around both headquar- ters and both were rather gloomy, the Kolb people over their defeat in the state, the democrats over the small majority in Jefferson. The table shows the official majority for Oates to be IF exactly, and that settles it beyond all peradventure.
 The out of town papers were eagerly bought on their arrival yesterday, but the purchasers were all sold. The AGE- HERALD gave the most complete returns published by any paper.
 There was good deal of talk about mis- doings at this and that box, notably at Bessemer by the democrats and at the city hall by the Kolbites, but everybody is agreed that all in all it was the fairest eiec- tion ever held in the county, and the Sayre law worked splendidly in that direction.
 The vote will be counted Saturday by the probate judge, sheriff and clerk of the cir cult court, and officially declared. COMPLAINT AGAINST HUEY's BEAT MAN

 It was learned yesterday that grounds for contest against the returns from Huey's beat have been commun unlcated to the sheriH by MT. James Eastis of Woodward.

While the Legislature Is Over
 whelmingly Democratic.
All Was Lovely and the Sayre Law Worked Like
 Charm.

The official returns as they came up from the good news of yesterday morning.
 Oates has the state by about 20, ,000.
 The legislature is democratic by about twenty four majority.
 Jefferson went for Oates by exactly 117, and the entire democratic legis- lative ticket is elected by majorities rang ing from 700 to 1000.
 The democrats gained members of the house as follows: Two in Henry, two in Morgan, two in Pike, two in Madi son, one in Macon, one in Lamar and one in Pick dega, giving them sixtytwo in all.
 Colonel Oates carried thirty counties 80 far as definitely heard from and lost only one, being a gain of five over 1892. The redeemed counties are Mac )n, Pike, Henry, Lamar, Madison, Morgan, and the lost is Talladega. Further returns are likely to show that Pickens, Covington and one or two others have been brought back into the fold.
 The only counties in which Kolb gained so far as the returns are in were Greene, Perry, Coosa, Shelby, St. Clair, Jackson, Elmore, Talladega, Winston. Franklin, Colbert, Butler, Jefferson, Mobile, Leo, Dallas, Russell and Montgomery, nineteen in all, his heaviest gain being in Jefferson. Colonel Oates gained in at least forty five, nearly all of them white, too.
 The following table of majorites shows that Colonel Oates obtained 40, 1885 and Captain flolb 14, ,904, or a net majority for Colonel Oates of 25 ,431. These figures will be changed few hundred by counties still to heal 4from or un fficially reported:

LONDON, Aug. 7.-Ihe Russian news. papers are aba ndoning the idea oi an ann icabe understanding between England and Russia with respect to Corea, and are publishing anti English articles. Es- pecially suspicious of England is the Novoe Vremya, which declares that England is secretly supporting China and that Japan will soon find this out. The London Daily News remarks that this language is not worth much, inasmuch as the'statements made would not be per mitted to pass the censorship if the Russian govern ment objected to them,

BERLIN, Aug. 7.-In conversation with a visitor in Varin today Prince Bismarck said that he expected little good from in- ternal action against anarchists. If each state would manage within it's own front iers to prevent the formation of plots, uuietness and order would soon return. Anarchists every where, he said, ought to be treated as they are in Varin. ''l mean pigs,'' said Bismarck, smiling. "We contne them closeIy.p

Amassers of Books.

One has kind of contempt for the col
lector who has no speciality and buys with
out discrimination and even without in
spection. Mr.. Heber, the brother of the
bishop, was purchaser of this class. "A
book is book" he said, and he bought all
that came in his way by carloads and ship
loads and in whole libraries on which, in
some cases, he never cast his eyes. The

Writing with the Left Hand.

The number of men who can write leg
IDLY with the left hand is very small in

The Audience Laughed.

John Barker, who fills the role of the old
Connecticut farmer in "a Nutmeg Match"
tells of an actor who once took the leading
juvenile part in play in which Mr. Barker
was the chief comedian. The leading juve-
nile was vain of his mustache, whose ends
he had cured daily in a BARRIERS shop. One
evening he had just been shaved, and the
barber was putting on the finishing touches,
when fire broke out in the building in
which the shop was located. The leading
juvenile was one of the first to flee.
1t was almost time for the performance
to begin, and he went at once to the the
alter. His role required him to wear ordi-
nary street clothes and to use no makeup.
He had hardly reached the theater when
the moment came for his entrance on the
stage. He went on, assuming his most kill
ing air.
A shout of laughter from the audience
staggered him. He turned to mirror that
was used in the scene and saw with horror
that in the excitement due to the fire the
barber had neglected to remove the curl
papers from the ends of his mustache.-
