THE CHINESE CASE.
The Slant-Eyed Beauties at Atlanta A
in Epdarol Custodv

The Slant-Eyed Beauties at Atlanta Are
in Federal Custody.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. S.-Writs of habeas
corpus were served this morning at TO-
o'clock upon Kee Owang and Leon
Lam, proprietors of the Chinese village
on the midway of the Atlanta exposition
commanding them to bring the bodies of
nine Chinese women charged by Lum
Ling, an Atlanta laundryman, with be-
ing held in involuntary seryitude. Ling,
who appears in the role of philanthrO-
plst, says the women were bought in
China and transported here against their
will. The writ was taken Nout under
the 18th amendment to the constitution.
These are the Chinese concerning whose
admission into the State at O9densburg,
N: Y, has caused so much Trouble.
Leon Lam and Kee Owang, conces-
sionaries of the Chinese village, declare
that the girls were not brought here
for immoral purposes and are not de-
tanned against their will.
Il wish" said Lam, that you would
come and see how far the girls are kept
i'll slavery. l am glad this came up.
| want to settle it now We will have
no trouble in court"
Kee Owang said:
Il think this is an effort to blackmail
us. The girls are as free as can be
and are happy. We will come out all
right"
Half dozen Chinese beauties appeared
and they certainly seemed little de-
pressed by their alleged serfdom. They
will remain in the nominal custody of
immigration Inspector Scharff until Sat
! urday, when the hearing is to take place.

WAS FIRING AT INSURGENTS.
Havana, Oct. S.-Dispatchcs received
here from Santiago de Cuba say that the
government cruiser Alcedo has been fir
ing at a band of insurgents ashore in the
neighborhood of Cape May, at the most
eastern extremity of the island of Cuba,
and it is added that on September rs the
cruiser, while so engaged stopped a
steamer believed to the the Alene, which
left New York on September 81 for
Kingstown and Carthagena. The Alene
belongs to the Atlas line and was flying
the British flag. The firing caused her
to stop under the impression it is pre-
sumed, that she was being fired upon,
but not receiving an order from the
cruiser and seeing that the latter was
hiring towards the land, she continued on
her course, apparently heading for
Jamaica.
The Associated Press dispatch giving
the first news of the stopping of the
Alene was held by the authorities here.
The Spanish colony in Mexico has mott
fed the Spanish government that it has
placed 800 mules at its disposal for use
during the military operations against
the insurgents of this island
A curious maritime disaster is reported
from Malasaga, near the Colorado reefs,
upon which the Cristobal Colon recently
met with disaster and where other dis
asters to shipping have recently occurred.
1t appears that the coasting steamer
Trinton, being in danger of going ashore
on the reefs during the recent cyclone,
was sunk by her commander and after
! the gale she was pumped out and floated.
A dispatch from Kingston, Jamaica,
dated September 81, announces the re-
port of the British steamer Alene of the
Atlas line on her arrival, was that she
had been fired upon by Spanish gun
boat the previous day. The gunboat APP
peared in the Alene's wake and without
warning fired three shots after her The
| Alene promptly hoisted her colors and
put about. The cruiser according to the
captain of the Alene, approached to with
in mile of her and then turned around
and steamed away.

CASHIER MISSING.
Tie Bank of Lexington Looted by One o
Its Officials

Its Officials
RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 19..It is now
quite certain that c. NJ. Figgatt, the
defaulting cashier of the Bank of Lex
ington, stole about $3.50, from that
institution-ss0,0 600 of the capital stock
and nearly $4,000 belonging to depos-
itors. The developments show that his
stealings covered twenty-five years and
depositors are angry with the directors
for having failed to detect what was
going on. The bank is left with only
Sc, 900 in cash.
Lexington is town of 5000 popula-
ton and is the county seat of Rock
bridge, a thrifty farming community.
Business is almost paralyzed on &C
count of the wreck of this financial
institution. The Virginia military in
stitute had $4,000 on deposit and the
county treasurer kept his accounts
there. The town was filed Saturday
with depositors who came from the
country to discuss the situation, and
the feeling was bitter toward those re-
sponsible for the careless manner in
which the affairs of the bank were
conducted.
Figgatt had been a dissipated man
and for a year had been a hard drinker
One theory is that during the boom
days few years ago he invested
largely and lost money. He left note
saying he would not carry cent away
with him, but it is considered certain
that he did, $4,000 deposited the day
before he left being gone.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-The report OF
the house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce, on the senate reso-
luton authorizing primary examina-
tion concerning deep water ways be-
tween the great lakes and the ocean,
was submitted to the house yesterday.
The report states that this resolution
offers practical way to enter upon a
work of great national Importance.
The union of the great lakes with the
seaboard bya deep water way, one that
will carry ocean-going vessels, it
says, has been under discussion
for a long time. Its Importance in
cheapening the cost of transporta-
tion between the interior of the
country and the seabOard would
be so far-reaching as to affect favor
ably every portion of the country.
Statistics show that the deepening OF
the channel between Buffalo and Du-
luth has leSsened the cost of carriage
until it is only one-ninth the cost of
carrying the same freight by rail. eff
fecting a saving of $50, 900, 900 ann Lal-
ly. The resolution provides for the
appointment of three commissioners,
who shall confer with three Canadian
commissioners and select the route
proposed, and the form of treaty stipu-
lations that might be necessary.

secretary Gresham VIII Not Favor Any OF
the Hawaiian Condemned.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-It is positive
ly denied at the state department that
Secretary Gresham has interviewed es-
pecially in the case of Maj. Seward,
one of the Americans under death sem
tence at Honolulu for treason, or that
he has addressed a special message on
the subject to Minister Willis, to be
forwarded by the first steamer from
Vancouver.
No instructions have been sent to
Minister Willis since the telegram of
last Monday directing him to demand a
stay of the sentences of all Americans
under death sentence, and to forward
copies of the records of their trials
to Washington for examination by
this government. This order should
have reached Mr.. Willis by this date,
and if the sentences have not already
been carried out, which is doubtful, in
view of the fact that the trials of the
queen and remaining prisoners were
still in progress at last adZices, it is
believed that his representations to
President Dole will be sufficient to Sc
cure a stay of further proceedings.

WRECK ON THE SANTA FE.
Disastrous Collision Near GuthrIe-Two
Men Killed and Seven Injured.

Men k1lled and Seven Injured.
GUTHRIE, Ok, Feb. IS. - Saturday
night at midnight the most disastrous
railroad wreck known on this division
in many years occurred on the Santa
Fe at the curve known as "Deadman's
Gut" miles south of Guthrie and =
mile north of Seward. 1t was caused
by a terrific collision between the
southbound Santa Fe passenger train
and the northbound stock express, and
was due, it is said, to the engineer
of the freight placing a wrong con-
struction on his orders. Two men were
killed and seven seriously injured.
Seventy head of cattle were killed and
$50, 900 worth of rolling stock was de-
stroyed.
The dead-Charles Upleby. engineer

rick Coldron, fireman on passenger
train, of Arkansas City.
The injured - James Norman,
freight conductor, left arm broken;
Edward Kitchen, passenger conductor,
hand mashed and body badly bruised;
Messenger r. Il. Deagle, body badly
bruised; Baggageman George Neville,
scalded; Mail Clerk Hutchins, head
cut; Roadmaster Mckinney, bruised;
Bridgeman John ]. English; II. A.
Sprow, body lacerated; Harry Tower,
of Kansas City stock yards, cut in the
neck and face; A. Hahn, fireman on

homa City, slightly bruised: r. L. Col
Inns, Enid, legs bruised: Representa-
tives Brown, Walling and Sutton and
Senator Scott, badly shaken up; John
Hook, Ardmore, cut by broken window
glass.
The stock train had been made up at
Purcell and Engineer Upleby had re-
ceived orders to side-track at Seward
and wait for the south bound pas
senger. According to the stories told
by his brakemen, the orders were mis-
interpreted and the train of eighteen
cars loaded with Texas cattle owned
by Harry Trower passed Seward at a
flying rate.
AS soon as the passenger engineer
sighted the freight rounding the curve
at Deadman's Cut ne Immediately re-
versed his engine but he was too late.
The crash was a terrific one. Both
engines struck head on and were COM
pletely demolished. Both the en-
gineer and fireman of the passenger
jumped-the former escaped, but the
latter, Pat Coldron, was caught in the
flying debris and scalded. His death
agonies were awful. The mail and
baggage cars of the passenger left the
track and were smashed, but luckily
the coaches kept the track and the pas
sengers were but slightly hurt. The
messenger and baggageman, however,
were severely hurt.
Six cattle cars left the track and al
most every head of stock in them were
either killed or injured. 1t is estimated
that seventy head of cattle were killed.

Supper time came and went--no start
A passenger went out to investigate
and found that in some unaccountable
way the engine had pulled away with
the freight cars and left the cabooSe
standing on the track. Some one mad
forgotten to shackle it, we were told.
Bat, you'd all better wait said
the yardman. They won't get far be-
fore they'll miss the car and come
back
But, as we learned afterward, the
conductor got on board the engine at
Houlton station and rode away, sup
posing the caboose was securely
shackled behin1 About twenty miles
up the line he dropped off the engine
on a grade when the train was run
ming slowly, intending to catch on to
the caboose when it came along. But
to his amazement when the end of the
train swung past him there was no ca
boose to climb upon, and the train
ratified on, leaving him standing there
upon the track. The engineer. sup
posing that the conductor had got safe
ly on board at the grade, let out a lit
tie and sped away.
1.-THE conductor hardly knew in which
direction to go, but while he was slow
ly plodding on north a construction
train came up along through the dark
ness and he managed to stop it. The
engineer unshackled, and with the con-
ductor set off to chase the runaway
train, blowing the whistle furiously to
attract the attention of the engine
ahead. After a six-mile pursuit, the
freight train was held up and the situ-
alton was reviewed. There didn't seem
to be any other way except to return
for the missing caboose. as all hands
supposed it had broken loose from the
train somewhere along the line after
they left Houlton.

virtue of patience is not extinct in

out, and if there had been any sextuple
