The Annual Session of the Imperial
Order Opened at Denver.
DENVER, July "a. The annual session
OF the Imperial Order of the Mystic
Shrine opened to-day with full attend
ance. The Imperial Potentate, Thomas
j. Hudson, reported that he declined to
grant dispensatien for Ell Cid Temple at
Ogden, Utah, but referred the matter to
the Committee on Dispensations. w. L.
Beardslee made strong plea before the
committee on behalf of Eel Cid.
Last evening the programme began
early. Shortly after Z O'Clock the drill
corps of Zurah Temple, Minneapolis, all
dressed in white, took possession of the
asphalt pavement between the Brown
Palace and the Metropole HOTEL and gave
an exhibition drill. The windows of
both hotels and the sidewalks were
crowded with an adfniring audience, that
frequently applauded the well-executed
comforting of the degree upon class of
Jebi Temple. During the progress of the
initiation the ladies of Denver gave re-
ception to the visiting ladies in the par
lars of the Brown Palace Hotel. The
rooms and balconies were made gorgeous
with plants and flowers, flags, banners
and bunting, and an orchestra furnished
music throughout the entire evening.
Light refreshments were served.
The convention succeeded in electing
an Imperial Potentate, VIM. b. Melish of
Cincinnati being the successful candi-
date, the vote being " to 90. No other
officers were elected.

ARMoR PLATE SCANDAL.

pany Testifies.

CHAIRMAN Er1cK OF the carnegie COM
pany Testifies.
WASHINGTON, July n. = Chairman
Frick of the Carnegie Steel Company
was before the Naval Committee in the
armor-plate investigation to-day. Frick
asserted that while the company's output
in 1893 was more than 100000 tons. only
5000 tons was armor plate. He left the
details entirely TO Superintendent Hun
sicker. Frick regarded the penalty levied
by the Naval Department as exorbitant,
and appealed to the President, as he was
permitted to do under the law. He con-
sidered the Presidents decision unjust.
Frick said Informer Craig came TO him
before information was given out, lntl-
mating that a conspiracy was on foot.
Also Of visit from an unknown elderly
lady, who intimated that for money she
would give valuable information. "If
the Government inspectors had done
their duty there would have been no
trouble" said he. 81 knew they were
there to see the work properly done and
depended on them" Frick did not in
dorse the conduct of his men in deceiving
the inspectors
Since taking the armor-plate contracts.
he said, the company had invested S3.-
100000 in the plant, and had never re-
fused to buy any machinery that was
recommended as necessary.
Willard Hunsicker, assistant to Chair
man Frick, and who had been i'll charge
of the armor-plate departments, testified
that he had no personal knowledge of the
frauds. Mr.. Hunsicker furnished state
ment of the number of armor plates made
from the beginning of the old contract.
December, 1889, to June l, 1894. This
showed total of l,506 plates, of which
800 were shipped. 153 condemned and 44S
were on hand. OF the 905 shipped, 662
were regular armor plates and the re-
mainder were small plates. Most of the
plates condemned had been condemned by
the action of the company itself

Strikers XIII Two Deputy SheriffS and
Wound Il Third.
BIRMINGHAM, July 24.-War broke out
again among the striking miners. Since
8 o'clock this afternoon two Deputy
Sheriffs have been killed, third fatally
wounded and fourth badly hurt. Two
desperate strikers did it all, and they are
tonight surrounded in the mountains
near Coalburg, refusing to surrender.
This afternoon Deputy Sheriffs Charley
Cole and James Smith went to the resi-
dence of K. III. Hudson. near Coalburg,
ten miles from here, to arrest his son
George on warrant charging participa-
ton in the Pratt mine riots, when half
dozen negroes and deputies were killed
by strikers ten days ago.
The Hudsons are bad men. Old man
Hudson recently refused to vacate the
company's house at Coalburg, and loaded
it up with dynamite, preparatory to
blowing it up with himself and whatever
officers nights attempt to arrest him, or
in case an effort was made to evict him.
When the two officers reached the Hud-
son house they attempted to arrest the
younger Hudson, who resisted, and drew
gun and began firing. His father Joined
in the shooting. The officers also began
shooting, but the Hudsons were too quick
for them, and Deputy Cole was shot
through the heart and instantly killed.
Deputy Smith was shot in the breast and
died three hours later. The younger
Hudson killed both officers. Smith lived
long enough to tell the other officers who
came to the rescue the story OF the kill
ing. After the killing the Hudsons fled
to the woods. Both are heavily armed.

LONDON, July M.-A dispatch from
Chemulpo says the Corean Government,
instigated by Chinese residents, has with
drawn its promises to reform, already
made to Japan. The guards at the Impe-
rial Palace are assuming most hostile
attitude toward the Japanese troops, and
a conflict is momentarily expected.
The Japanese Legation here has re-
ceived no news OF the bonn bardment of
Corean ports, and gives the report no cre-
dence.
THE ATTACK WAS AT SEOUL.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-Information
was received at the Japanese Legation to-
day that the trouble referred to in the
Shanghai dispatch to the Associated Press
occurred at Seoul, the capital OF Corea,
and not at Nagasaki. A cablegram to the
Minister says: 1.-The Corean troops made
an uncalled-for attack on the Japanese
troops stationed at Seoul and the troops
returned the fire." The Minister feels
sure the firing was authorized by the
Government of Corea.
The hostilities between China and
Japan will require an Immediate rein
forcement of the United States naval
forces on the China station. At present
this consists OF only two vessels, the
cruiser Baltimore and the antiquated
Monocacy. They are both at Chemulpo,
Corea, and it would be impossible for
them TO properly cover the enormous ex
tent OF sea coast that must be watched.
Owing to the demands OF the seal patrol
there is only one vessel at present avail
able for the China station. That is the
Charleston, now at Mare Island. When
the close season in the seal waters ex-
pires it is probable that some of the ves-
sells of the patrol feet can be spared and
ordered to proceed to China. In this case
the Yorktown, the Concord and the Petrol
would be chosen.

THE TARIFF BILL.

Democrats of the Senate Hold Meet
ing Behind Closed Doors.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-The Democrats
of the Senate to-day met behind closed
doors for the purposes of settling their
differences on the tariff, and trying to
reach an amicable understanding. A
programme was arranged for a caucus,
and accordingly at 3 O'Clock the Senate
adjourned and the Democrats walked
into the marble room and closed the
doors. Senators Hill, Murphy and Irby
were the only Democrats present at the
Capitol who did not respond TO the eau
Gus call. Senator Hill was not notified OF
the intention to hold a caucus until the
last minute, and then declined to enter it
because of his attitude on the bill. Sem
ator Irby left the Capitol without giving
any explanation. Senator Murphy went
away pleading an engagement.
The caucus continued for three hours,
and without reaching any conclusion or
taking vote on any proposition adj
lourned until tomorrow at 3 o'clock,
when another meeting will be held. The
discussion of some points was very
warm, and especially just before adjourn
ment, when Senator Villas was speak
ing. Several Senators interrupted him
with questions and criticised the course
he was pursuing in the Senate. This
called forth equally tart replies from the
Wisconsin Senator, and there was pros
pect of the debate becoming personal
when, upon the suggestion of Senator
German, the adjournment took place.
The caucus merely served to emphasize
the two facts that the Democratic Sena-
tors are all anxious to pass a tariff bill,
and there are still wide differences as to
the kind of a bill they can pass.
1t was recognized from the beginning
that Senator Villas motion to strike out
the ditferential duty on sugar occupied
most important position In the present
controversy, and several Senators inti-
mated that until there could be assur-
ances of withdrawal no conclusion could
be reached in caucus.
Senators Blanchard and Caffery of
Louisiana were both conspicuous in the
caucus proceedings. Instead of showing
any disposition to yield the sugar differ
entail, they asked that the Conference
Committee be asked to retain that feature
and 40 per cent. ad valorem and to add

ALL HANDS LOST.
British Bark Wrecked-Seventeen Sail
orS Drowned.


ors Drowned.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-Word has
been received to-day of the wreck and
total loss of the British bark William
La Lacheur, off Cape st. James, on Pro-
vost Island, 600 miles from Singapore.
The vessel left Singapore for Hongkong
on May 4th, to load at the latter port for
San Francisco. She never reached her
destination, and her bones are now
bleaching on the rocks off Cape ST. James,
while the bodies of her crew are strewn
along the shore or are lying at the bottom
of the ocean. Out of the crew of seven
teen not man was left to tell the tale.
When she went ashore is not known,
but it was probably a few days after she
left Singapore. When she left the latter
port light southwest monsoons were
blowing, which helped the vessel along
in her course. Cape st. James is only
about 900 miles from Singapore, and the
La Lacheur must have easily made
the run in three or four days. The wind
had freshened considerably since she
started, and the bark soon found herself
in bowling typhoon.
Captain Raynall was a careful sailor
and an experienced navigator. Whether
or not he knew the lay of the land to
which he was heading is not known.
Cape st. James is deceptive cape.
The William La Lacheur was but thirty
years old, her timbers were stout and
she had weathered many heavy blow.
The news of the wreck and the loss of all
hands was taken 10 Hongkong by ves-
sci from the Saigon River. and found its
way in letter to the relatives of the first
officer.
The vessel was commanded by Captain
Raynall. Frank III. Stivers was the first
officer; Lars Jorgensen, Swede, second
officer, and Henry b. Fitzhugh, an Eng
lishman,, third officer The crew con-
sisted of five Englishmen and eight
Chinese.
The William La Lacbeur was built at
Guernsey in 1854. She registered 573 tons,
and was 1868 feet in length, 30.5 feet in
breadth of beam and III feet in depth of
