FOR MURDER COMMITTED YEARS AGO
Rupert Jordan Taken From KalispclI.
Mont, 10 Kentucky.

kalispell, Mont, Dec. IAN officer
from Mercer county Kentucky, left
Kalispell tonight for his home, having
in custody Rupert Jordan, who is ac-
cused of murder alleged to have been
committed in that county in 1889. Ac-
cording to the story of the Kentucky
officer Jordan had controversy with a
neighbor over horse trade and lay in
ambush and shot his victim one MORN
ing as he was going to the field to work.
The officer also says the Jordan family
has bad reputation, one brother being
in the penitentiary.
Jordan has lived in this county for
several years. Not long ago a brother
in-law came here from Illinois to take
Mrs. Jordan back to her old home, but
she died on the day she was to start
Jordan and his brother-in-law had trou-
BILE, which resulted in his exposure to
the Kentucky authorities and subse-
quent arrest. Mrs. Jordan was the can
didate last fall for county superintend-
ent of schools on the populist ticket
An attempt was made to secure the
release of Jordan on a writ of habeas
corpus, but the district court held that
the requisition papers were regular and
the prisoner was turned over. He denies
the commission of the crime and says
he was around for some time after the
murder and no effort was made to
fasten the crime on him.

AN INTRIGUE IN CANTON
Secret Organization Schemed for
an Independent Government.
THE PLOT WAS DISCOVERED
Arms and Ammunition Shipped From
Hong Kong Seized by the Can

Boston. Dec. b.-Mail advices received
Canton, China. today give details of
an attempt to capture the city Of Can
ton by secret organization for tne
purpose of establishing an Independent
government. The writer says:
THE plot was exposed October ~
when the attention of the United States
consul was called to a suspicious tele-
gram from Hong Kong firm to its
branch In Canton, concerning the ship
ments OF certain packages. The author
tiles were notified, and the PACKAGE,
which proved to be five barrels Of pis-
tolls and ammunition, labeled Cement"
were seized. On the same steamer from
Hong Kong came 400 men, who expect
ed to aid In the revolt. The officials,
however, captured rs Of them. The
revolutionists had no weapons, but 1t
was learned that they were to be sup
piled by friends in this city. This seix-
ure Of arms and the capture of those
implicated completely thwarted the at
tempt. and the authorities are ho--
making diligent search for the leader
as well as for more weapons.
1T Is said that there are Thousands
In sympathy with the movement. The
plan of organization. which originated
In Hong Kong and was taken up in
Canton, was first to capture the city
treasury; next to demolish the viceroy'a Z
| palace. BY this time they were ex-
| pecting sufficient aid to storm the city
They next expected to proclaim an In
dependent government and to take

BAD WRECK IN HARLEM

New York, Dec. 8.-Three men were
killed and two injured in a railroad

The killed are:
Thomas Fitzgerald. engineer.

All of the killed and injured were resi-

CURED between One Hundred and Thir
ty-second and One Hundred and Thirty
third streets. The engine was used as
switch engine and was bound east to
Van Nest station with its crew of five
men. The accident occurred al short
curve and no explanation Of what was
responsible for the trouble could be as
certained. Everything was in its prop
er shape, apparently. and the engine
and its tender were proceeding along at
the usual speed when, without any
warning, the engine left the track and
went pumping along over the ties.
Bannon, the conductor, and McKeon,
the fireman, leaped for their lives at the
moment the engine toppled and fell over
across the west-bound track before the
others of the crew were able to save
themselves.
All the bodies were crushed and scald-
ed, death evidently having been instan-
taneous.
Fitzgerald's head protruded through
the window of the engine cab, and he
was sitting on his seat at his duty when
the accident happened.

in looking after the interests of Gov
ernor Mckinley during the meeting of the

of the reports that Ohio had some other
candidate than Mckinley, said "Ohio
is absolutely united in its support of Gov
ernor Mckinley and any reports that an
other Ohio name will be presented to the
national convention are mischievous and
false. In the most formal manner the re-
publican party of Ohio has presented the
name of Governor Mckinley to the coun-
try as Ohios choice to the presidency.
This was done at the state convention and
specifically announced in the state plat
form"
Mr.. Hanna was asked as to the state
ment made by a gentleman named Wood
that the name of Senator Sherman would
be presented to the national convention.
THAT is rot, pure and simple" said Mr..
Hanna. Senator Sherman was chair
man of the big meeting held at the time
of the state convention when Mckinley s
candidacy was practically an unanimous
sentiment. Sherman has spoken in in
terviews and otherwise in favor of Mr.

pion, the child was early initiated into
the mysteries of chess. When 23 years
old he won second prize in an information
al match in Europe, and then. coming to
America, played a succession of games
with the picked men of all the clubs in
the vicinity of New York and won every
game played, making an unprecedented
record. He gave Pillsbury the hardest
tussel at Hastings and his friends say he
is still the superior of the American.
Certainly his record of victories and the
brilliancy of his play have placed him

Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. s-Search
for the disabled steamship Strathnevis
will be prosecuted by the Oriental steamer
Tacoma, which sailed westward from Vic

tugs will be sent out a couple of hundred
miles to await her appearance.
For the past three weeks a series of
southerly gales have been experienced for
a thousand miles west of Cape Flattery

service, who is thoroughly acquainted
with the ocean currents of that locality.
ventures the opinion that the Strathnevis
is too far westward to feel the upward
coast current which sets in against Van
couver island, and the southeast coast OF
Alaska. However, southerly gales would
naturally create northern current. If
she possesses any steam propelling power
at all, which together with the limited
sail area she has. added Captain Hooper,
It would doubtlessly enable her to ap-
proach near enough to Cape Flattery tC

NOTE OF SALISBURY KEPT SECRET

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE reply of Lord
Salisbury to Secretary Olney's note of in
structions to Ambassador Bayard, rela-
tive to the Venezuela boundary dispute,
was delivered to Secretary Olney at noon
today. Sir Julian Pauncefote presented
the note in person, reading Its contents
to Mr.. Olney, as is the custom when i'm
portant documents are presented. For
some reason. the state department ofilc-
ials took steps to prevent the fact that
the note had been delivered gaining pub
licity, but without avail. At the British
embassy there was the same ndisposition
to give any publicity to the proceedings.
All inquiry as to the nature of the note
failed to secure a response from any Of
fetal, and 1t probably will be preserved
as an official secret as far as the Washing
ton officials are concerned, until the pres
ident, upon his return from his hunting
trip, has had an opportunity to consider 1t
and send 1t to congress. 1t Is known that
the note is on the general lines indicated
in the Associated Press dispatch this

Ex-Governor Grant Says the Mines Are
the Richest on Earth.

Denver, Dec. 7.-Ex-Governor James B.
Grant of the Omaha & Grant Smelling
Company, who has just returned from
a tour of inspection among the mining
camps of Colorado, says that all are
prosperous.
"I am compelled to believe that the fu-
ture of Cripple Creek" he said, far sur
masses the widest anticipations of those
who had the greatest hopes for the future
of Leadville. Cripple Creek will produce
more gold in the next 20 years than any
camp ever known. Leadville has produced
over 500, 900 in the last II years. When
they have been mining II years at Cripple
Creek, it is safe to say that the camp
will have produced over s50O,0OO,0O0."
Speaking of the South African mines,
the governor had no hesitation In saying
that the mines of the Cripple Creek re-
gion will soon excel them both in the
money value of it's products and in actual
tonnage.
