preseuce of the Minneapolis.

ROSTON. Mass. Nov. 21.-The announce
ment that the United States cruiser Mime
anolis has been ordered to Smyrna Is taken
hv the American Board of Foreign Missions
as an indication that the United States in
tends 10 furnish ample protection TO Ameri-
cans in western Turkey, among whom are
many missionaries of the board As sta
ton for missionary work Smyrna has been
prominent from the earliest times. The in
terest attending the place as being the nome
of Polycarp. and the only remaining one OF
the seven churches addressed by the apos-
tie John, rendered il a satisfactory mission
station, but 1t was even more probably due
TO the fact that al the commencement
OF the present century II was the only city
of Turkey that was really open to mission
aries, and also che only one with which
there was direct communication from Euro
pean and American sea ports. that led to Its
choice as mission center.
Among the missionaries whose safety Will
be assured by the presence OF the Mime

What Two WclI-known Republicans

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-senator Sherman,

New York delegation at the convention OF
1883. Ex-senator Hiscock said: There was

HIS WORRIES ENDED
STRAIN OF A LONG TRIAL TOO GREAT
FOR WILLIAM HANNIGAN.
Died Five Minutes After His Son Was
Declared Not Guilty OF killing
His Daughters Betraycr.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Almost at the
minute that the foreman of the jury de-
clared that David +. Hannigan, who shot
Soloman II. Mann, the betrayer of his Sis
ter. was mot guilty of the murder, VIII
liam Hannigan, the aged. father of the
prisoner. closed his eyes i'm death. This
was the tragic ending OF the troubles of
the Hannisan family. which seems to have
multiplied since the death of Loretta Han
nigan last summer from the result of a
criminal operation which Mann procured.
During the past fe& days of the long,
drawn-out trial old William Hannigan,
worn by his daughters disgrace and the
strain OF waiting for the decision OF his
sons fate. has been gradually sinking, sew
eral days ago the last sacrament being
administered to him and tonight he died
before the news of his sons acquittal
could reach the family.
The closing plea os the prosecution and
the charge OF Judge Ingraham TO the
jury occupied the day and 1t was o'clock
when the jury retired. 1t was IL o'clock
when the jury announced its readiness to
return to the court room and half an hour
before the members of the Hannigan FAM
lily had been called from court. where they
were anxiously waiting by the news that
the head OF the family was dying When
the Judge asked the foreman whether the
jury had agreed on a verdict. he said:
I'VE find the defendant not guilty on the
ground of insanity The prisoners wife
went into Mysteries.
Attorney Brooke then asked for Hanni-
gan's release, but the Judge said: Il would
almost be guilty of mansiaushter myself If
l should discharge him. / think II best for
himself and his family that he should
be taken care OF properly somewhere un-
I'll he recovers from the excitement Incl
dent to the trial and what may follow"
Shortly after Justice Ingraham said that
Hannigan could be taken in the custody
OF the sheriff to see his father and then
be brought back again TO the Tombs.
When the prisoner left the court he was
cheered by a large crowd. 1t was II AS
when no reached home and found his moth
er beside his fathers body. The verdict
had been announced at 1l:l0 and at 1l15
the elder Hannigan had died.

New York After the Conventions.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2f.--The campaign for
securing for this city the national political
and other conventions of next year and en-
suing years, was inaugurated to-day when

that it was not President Cleveland VINO

United States. According 20 the EDITORIAL,
in the recent Democratic defeat the party

diminished. "It Is not unlikely" the

will rally around Cleveland he will lead
them to victory In the next Presidential

Indian officers on the Umatilla

the release Of the prisoners. declar-
ing them citizens under the Dawes
act Of 1887, subjected to no courts
excepting state and United States
courts, the same as any other citi-

A CHASTITY DISCOVERY.
A Fish Wheel Throws up the Skeleton
of Man.

OF wan.
Yesterday men at work on the
fish wheels on the beach above the
city, in an embankment which had
washed out, found human skele-
ton, says The Dalles Times Noun
taineer. 1t was only partly expos
ed, and there was nothing left Of
the remains but fieshless bones.
These were embedded quite deep in
the sand, and appeared as though
they had been buried there, From
all appearances the skeleton had
been in the ground for years, as
the bones showed they had been
subjected to the elements fora a long
time. No conjecture can be made
as to the identity of the skeleton,
and the poor fellow may have been
drowned or met his death by foul
means. Before Jim Cook was hang
ed In 1879 he gave information that
some citizens of The Dalles who
had mysteriously disappeared had
been murdered, and were buried on
the beach. Soon after his disclos-
ucrs was made skeleton was found
in the sand, and this may be am
other Of the victims. There was a
time in the history Of The Dalles
when law and order were not re-
spected, and the washing away Of
the beach, as happened during the
last flood. may bring some things
to light which are hidden now.

ONE ON ARNOLD.
A Portland Paper criticises Surveyor
General Arnold.

We learn, says the Portland Dis
patch, that the democratic survey
or general of Oregon has repub-
lican under him as chief clerk, It
is stated that special qualifications
and inability to secure democrat
are not assigned by the surveyor
as the cause for this treachery to
the party, but the fact that this
clerk is financially in debt to his
superior. II such is true, Mr.. Arm
old should be removed. If he will
collect a private debt at the ex-
pense of his political honor, he
would not hesitate in collect a
similar debt on a surveying con-
tract at the expense Of the govern
ment. The truth is, the federal
appointees have been making their
public positions private snaps, and
the party is getting disgusted with
their conduct.

THE NATIONAL PARTY.
Quite Gathering of Prominent Silver
Men in New York.

Il WCN W tNGW t0sAs
A New York special says: Al
story came to this city today from
Washington that certain men
prominent in silver states Of the
West, were negotiating for the pur-
chase ofa morning newspaper in
this city, with view Of booming o
silver man for the next nomination
for the presidency. 1t was con-
sidered significant that a number
Of United States senators from the
silver states have arrived in the
city within the past few days.
Senator Edward @. Wolcott, Of
Colorado, has been at the Holland
house since Tuesday night, and
Senator Francis e. Warren, Of Wy
oming, William Bates, of Tennes-
see, and Pettigrew, Of South Daco-
TIA, and ex-senator Thomas G. Pow
or, of Montana, are domiciled at
the Fifth-Avenue hotel. Senator
Wolcott could not be found at the
Holland house this morning. At
the Fifth-Avenuc, Senator Warren
was seen. When asked about the
story, he said:
II am here on purely personal
business, and have not heard the
the slightest rnmor that the silver
men intend to buy New York
newspaper. Our people in Wyom-
ing look to the next congress to
settle the financial question in a
way to unite and satisfy the whole
country. Perhaps we may get an
international agreement establish
ing the ratio of silver to gold, or
the problem may be worked out in
some other way here at home.
The question is one that will not
down, and must be settled before
we have the free exchange between
all parts Of the country which al
one can bring renewed prosperity.
The present administration has
been simply imbecile in It's treat.
ment Of the financial question. It
promises us that if The Sherman
act were repealed, Immediately Inn
provement would be felt. Tbs
condition Of the country has grown
worse, instead Of better, and the
last congress and the administra.
tion stands on record as having
deceived the country in a game Of
bunco."
