A PANIC IN A THEATER.
Lights Went Out and {
Frightened Youth Yelled
"Fire."
by the Presence of Mind of
the Manager.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept 4.-The audience
attending the Hopkins Westside Theater
last night had an experience which the
men and women who composed it are not
apt to forget Just before the close of the
third act of the Golden Giant Mines" the
fuse of high-tension transformer blew out
and shut off the electric-light current. The
theater was thus left IN total darkness, and
while the audience was wondering whether
it was dark scene or an accident a boy in
the gallery settled their doubts by shouting
"Fire u at the top Of his voice.
When it seemed that a panic could not
be averted Stage Manager Jackson stepped
down to the front of the stage and with
great presence Of mind requested everybody
to either keep their seats or pass out
quietly. Gan accident has happened to
the electric lights. There is no fire and,
therefore. no donger, if you Will only pre-.
serve order" cried Mr.. Jackson.
The front doors were thrown open, and
through these the glhnmer of the street
lamps served as guide for the throng
filing slowly down the aisles. Just as it
began to look as if everybody would get
out without accident another boy shifted
the odor of burning oil and began yelling
''FireP' with great emphasis. Then those
who was nearest the door smelted the oil,
too, and broke for the entrance as fast as
they could run.
Women and men stumbled in the aisles
and one or two nearly fell because they
could not see where they were putting
their feet. How 500 or 600 people managed
to stumble down the stairs in the dark
without receiving even a scratch is won
der.
The fremen extinguished the blaze be-
fore it had done much damage.

The Governor Asked to Criticize the Sac
rantento Mans Statement.
MARYVILLE, Mo-, Sept. 4.-The Inter
state Harvest Home Association met here
to-day, fully 5000 strong in delegates and
visitors. Among the matters entertained
were the following preambles and reso-
luton:
WHEREAS, AS on Tuesday, September 3, 1895,
David Lubin of Sacramento Cal, In an address
to the farmers of Missouri at the Interstate
Harvest Home meeting at Maryville, this
State, stated "that the staples of agriculture,
being largely exports, could be protected by q
imports cannot protect these staples sold In the
open markets of the world, a portion of which
is an export" and he further made the asser-
tion that because this is so, staples of
agriculture were not protected, but were
sold at home and abroad at the world s
free-trade prices, and if this is true it must
necessarily follow that the producers
cost of the protective system to manufacturers
and receive no direct or indirect benefit there
from; and whereas, if true it would be an
injustice to producers of agricultural staples,
and, whereas, we, the farmers of Missouri, in
maSs-meeting assembled, desire to be informed
as to the truth of the statements made by Mr..
Lubin, and believing that Hon. William Nc
Kinley, Governor of Ohio. is fully informed as
to the operations of protection by tariff on
imports, therefore be 1t
RESOLVED, That we respectfully and earnestly
request the Hon. William Mckinley to criticize
and fully explain said statements of Mr.. Lubin
to the end that we may be properly informed
on this important subject, and that he do this
in the leading papers of Missouri.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 4.-The State
Prohibition convention lookup its DELHI
erations at 10 o'clock this morning after a
brief prayer service. While the various
committees were in session Volney R.
Gushing of Maine delivered an address.
The State committee was also appointed.
The report of the platform committee was
made through E. J. Wheeler of New York.
Several of the planks were holly de-
bated. The platform as adopted reaffirmed
its adherence to the principles of prohlbi-
ton and allegiance to the National party;
that Christian citizens ballot is his testi-
mony witnessing his political righteousness
and were opposed to all measures and can
didates not in full accord with the prin-
ciples of prohibition.

Insults to Won,an Acenged 6y Her
Young Son.
OMAHA, NEBR., Sept. August Sac.
lowein. a boy 10 years of age, shot and
instantly killed Paul Miller, his brother
in-law, this afternoon. The Saoloweins,
father and son, are gardeners on the north
bottoms in the vicinity OF Sherman and
Ames avenues. Miller visited their
premises this afternoon and commenced
abusing Mrs. Saolowein, calling her vile
names.
The son was in the garden, and hearing
Miller ran to the house, seized revolver
and went into the room where his parents
and Miller were standing. AS ne entered
Miller started toward him. Without say
ing a word young Saolowein raised his re-
volver and fired. The ball struck Miller In
the heart.
Saolowein walked up to the nearest tele-
phone at Sherman and Commercial ave-
nues, whence he telephoned the police
station, stating that he had murdered a
man and was ready to surrender. After
having sent the message he sat down in a
chair and awaited the arrival OF the police
to place him under arrest. he is In jail.
The trouble leading up to the murder is
said to have been caused by both parties
laying claim to a garden patch. The IN
quest will be held in the morning at the
morgue, where Millers body lies.

MINERAL LAND CLAIMS,
No Action Likely to Be Taken
at Washington Before
Winter.
Case Of the California Miners
Presented to Commissioner
Lamoreaux's Deputy.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 4.-Wil-
liam c. Ralston and j. III. Neff of the Cali
fornia Miners Association were in Wash
ington to-day and registered at the Airing
ton Hotel. They had been with the
Knights Templar at Boston and ran down
to Washington from New York. They re-
turned to New York tonight.
Their flying trip here was not attended
with much success as regards the mineral
lands controversy, as President Cleveland
is at Buzzards Bay and both Secretary
Hoke Smith and Commissioner of Gen,
eral Land Office Lamoreaux are absent.
Mr.. Ralston visited the Department of the
Interior, however, and had talk with the
acting Land Commissioner. He does not
expect that anything can be accomplished
until winter, when an effort will be made
to secure from Congress what Representa-
tive Caminetti worked so hard for, the
passage of a bill defining and classifying
mineral lands in California similar to that
now in force in Montana, with this differ
ence, that several boards of commissions
be appointed instead of one, as it has been
demonstrated in Montana that it will take
one board too long to complete the work.

ATTACK ON JOHN BURNS,
Accused at the Trades Con-
greSS of Deserving Unem-
ployed Workmen.
The Charges Denied In a Heated
Speech by the Labor
Leader.

CARDIFF, WALES, Sept. 4.-The Trades
Union Congress at to-day's session ap-
proved the report of the Parliamentary COM
mittee, with an addendum asking Par
lament to pass legislation providing for
the payment of union rate of wages to all
workers in the Government departments.
During the debate on an amendment
censuring the Parliamentary committee
for failing to promote legislation in favor
of socialism and land production Delegate
Salmon charged John Burns with desert
ing the unemployed workers and cult
waiting only those sources which would be
likely to assist his reelection to Par
lament.
Mr.. Burns replied that these lying state
ments were inspired by blackleg journal
lists, who had now been dismissed from the
congress. A bill for the naturalization of
land production had been entrusted to Mr..
Broadhurst. Where was it? he asked. If
the bill had been entrusted to him (Burns)
he would have licked it into shape. He
had attended to his place in the House of
Commons instead of lecturing for hire at
tive guineas lecture, and had also been
present at two meetings of the Parliament
tary committee on the unemployed, while
Kier Hardie attended but one.

trades snd occupations in the United King
dom, and that the Parliamentary committee

BRITISH COL UMBIA MINES.
Rich Discoveries and Much Activity ar.
RepOrte6.


NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. A special
from Quebec says: Alexander Begg, the
historian of the Canadian Northwest, has
just returned from the mining districts of
British Columbia and the newly discov-
cred gold fields of Vancouver Island. He
says that the district of Alberni is full of
prospectors and that more are focking in
every day. All the American companies
operating in British Columbia, Begg
claims, are making large returns. The
wealth of West Kootenay in both gold
and silver is enormous. American capital
is largely invested there and Americans
own many of the best paying mines.
East Kootenay is exceedingly rich in low
grade ores of a better quality than those OF
Alaska
The Cariboo district is proving even
richer than was expected, and there is
great activity all along the Fraser.
The Horse Fly mine, owned by Califor-
MIA people, has been most successful.
Begg says that party of five men in this
district took out in short time 200 pounds
of gold quartz from one pocket near the
camp of Robert Beaver while his men
were taking out twenty-four pounds. This
was before the mines had appliances for
working on large scale.

membership of which shall be composed OF
delegates from State bankers associations.
James @. Cannon, the vice president of
the Fourth National Bank, who is presi-
dent of the State Bankers Association, has
been the most active among the promoters
of the new enterprise, and he believes that
it will accom- plish excellent results.
1t is expected that favorable answers
from all the thirty State associations,
which number in their membership nearly
5000 substantial bankers, will be received
by the committee, who will report to the
executive committee at its Novem Der meet
ing. If the plan meets with general favor,
as now seems assured, a National conven-
ton of representatives of the State assocl-
atoms will be held and the association
will be formed.

Four Chinese arrested at Chicago Under
the EccIusfOn Act.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 4.-Four China
man, Lee zee, Lee Quong, Lee Joe and
Lee Yung, who were arrested several
weeks ago in Detroit under the exclusion
act, were found guilty of conspiring to
smuggle themselves into this country and
sentenced to ten days in the Detroit work
house at hard labor and then to deporta-
ton. They were brought to this city en-
route to the Pacific Coast and stopped by a
writ of habeas corpus.
The position taken by the counsel for the
prisoners was that the order of deportation
was void because the Commissioner had
imposed sentence of imprisonment.
Judge Seaman of the United States Circuit
Court to-day held that the Commissioner
had exceeded his power in assessing the
imprisonment, which rendered his iudg-
ment void, and he ordered the four men
released.
Special Treasury Agent Grain swore out
another complaint charging the four men
with violation of the exclusion act, and
they furnished bonds in the sum of $4,000
each. The attorneys for the four men,
who may decide to test the law, say no
complication will arise before the Commits
sioner, as they will prove the men are
members of Chicago business houses.

A Demand That the Present EriE BE
Speedily Rentedied.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Sept. 4.-The Ohio
Wool-growers' Association at its annual
meeting here to-day adopted the following
resolutions:
RESOLVED, That free wool has proved disas-
trous and appalling mistake in the United
States, entailing direct loss upon the agrcul-
tural interests thereof in the depletion OF
hocks and decrease in the number of sheep
from 40 900 900 in 1893 to 80 ,0O0, 900 in 1895,
and has reduced the price of wool nearly so
per cent.
RESOLVED. That the highest interests of the
country demand at the hands of the Fifty
fourth Congress early in the forthcoming ses-
sion the correction of this mistake. No sup
posed party or political exigency or advan-
tage will justify the postponing of this plain
and manifest duty.
RESOLVED, That if it shall unwisely and I'M
justly become the settled policy of the Govern
ment to maintain free wool, we will then as a
measure of equal justice demand free wooleh

Asked to Organize.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 4.-The
American Bankers Association. with its
venerable traditions, is to be succeeded by
vigorous institution which proposes to
invite to its membership the active finan-
ciers of the United States. The new or
ganization had its birth at secret meeting
of the council of administration of the
New York State Bankers Association held
at the Windsor Hotel Monday afternoon.
AT that meeting the following resolution
was passed:
WHEREAS, 1t seems desirable that National
body, representing the banking interests of
the Nation, be formed for the purpose of ad-
vancing the welfare of the banking fraternity
and securing uniformity OF action on problems
common to the practice of banking, and
whereas, the existence OF State bankers asso-
Citations in nearly all the States of the Union
would render the foundation of National
organization of bankers both practical and
timely, and whereas, 1t is the belief of the
council OF administration OF the New York
State Bankers Association that concerted
action toward this end would now pe oppor-
tune; therefore be it
ResoIUed, That a committee of five members
OF this association, of whom the president shall
be one, be appointed to secure an expression
OF opinion from the various State associations

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. A special from
Anderson, Ind, says: Miss Kate Condo,
belle of Anderson and worth $50, 900 in
her own right, has eloped with Lon"
Reed, prize-fghter and sporting man.
1t is said that when they first met his vo-
cation was not known to Miss Condo, and
that, after she had become infatuated with
him, it made no difference to her. Some
time ago Reed was arrested on charge of
gross assault upon Miss Condo and is now
under bonds to appear for trial at the pres
ent term of court. The couple were mar
ried at Connersville.
