Denver, Col, Oct. Ex-senator Chandler,
of New Hampshire, has written a letter
to T. c. Clayton, secretary of the Repub-
lican State League of Colorado, saying
the Republican party will go into the
next Presidential battle pledged to bi-
metallsm, W hich, he believes, will win.
On the other hand, he says, the men who
dominate the Democratic party are gold
monomela allists and W ith the patronage of
the government, with money manipulated
by William G. Whitney ana CALVIN s.. Brice,
the Democracy is hopelessly subjugated.
1t is the height of folly, Senator Chandler
says, for any bimetallist to conceive that
anything but gold monometailsm can come
from another Democratic national victory.
He suggests the calling of blmetallic con-
ference to be held in the United States,
which would be attended by representatives
from all Western governments and govern
ments of Russia, France, Japan. and China
and the decision of the conference that the
nations should coin silver without limit

A Crazy Lover.

New Orleans, Aug. ga
Young man named Louis Gervars
aged "a years, attempted to kill
Miss Eugenia Nethancourt and
her father about 12 o'clock to-
day, on Vi]lere street, because Of
the refusal of the young lady to
marry him. He had been court
ing the girl for more than two
years and claims they were en-
gagged to be married, but her fa-
ther interfered and prevented
the marriage.
To-day he called at the home
of the girl and demanded that
she marry him at once. On her
refusal he went away, but soon
returned and renewed his de-
mand. Again the girl refused
and, Gervars becoming crazed
with disappointment, drew re
volver and fired twice at the
young lady. Her father rushed
in on hearing the shots and Ger
vars shot him three times. Max
ing his way from the house, he
met a young sister of the girl
and knocked her down with the
butt of his pistol. He then ran
to the old basin with the inten-
ton of committing suicide, but
after jumping in he changed his
mind and swan out aud was cap
tured by the police. Miss Meth
ancourt's wounds are slight, but
her father is seriously hurt.

has forty five inhabitants. King

For forty six years he managed
his little kingdom admir-
ably; and, dying, he ex-
pressed the wish that the islam

proved successful, and Tavolara

DEATH OF TECUMTHE.
The Story as Told by the Son of One of His
Friends.

The Story as Told by the Son of One of His
Friends.
A new account of the death Of
the great Indian chieftain Te-
cumseh, or Tecumthe, was found
amoDg the papers of Richard j.
Conner, editor of the Peru Sen
tinel, and widely known, and who
died on July 25th. 1t contains
information touching the ques-
ton that has heretofore been
widely disputed.
Mr.. Conner said: my father
was III command of 300 friendly
Indians in the battle OF the
Thames in Canada. His command
was attached to Colonel PauFs
regiment in that battle. His In
dians did some good service and
contributed to the defeat Of the
British and Indians.
'After the battle. late IN the
afternoon, he was summoned to
the headquarters Of Col. b. M.
johnson, who stated to him that
it was the rumor that the great
CHEF Tecumthe, was among the
slain in battle, and requested my
father to take some Of his friend
ly Indians and search the field
and ascertain if it were indeed
true. My father Immediately
took with him four or five Della
wares and began the search,
which was successful. When
they found the body some
of the Indians were not
at all sure that it was that
of Tecumthe, There was a
striking resemblance between
the two brothers, Tecumthe and
the prophet, but one Of them had
spot or defect on one OF his
eyes. One of the Delawares
stopped down and pushed open
the eyelid, and it was at once
known that the dead man was
indeed Tecumthe,
During the political campaign
Of 1910 it was universally as
serted by the Democrats that
Col, johnson killed Tecumthe.
My father often declared that
it could not be, that an old lndi-
an warrior and camp follower
of the expeditions in Canada
named Wheatley, was probably
Tecumthe's slayer. He was a
bitter Indian hater and crank
on thai subject. He was not en- :
rolled as a soldier, but went to
battle on his own account. He,
too, was killed in the fight. Te-
cumthe was shot through the
breast, and the wound plainly
showed that he came to his
death from the effects OF sho1
from a small bore rife, sucE
as the frontiersman usually
carried. A few feet from
the dead body Of Tecumthe
was found that of Wheatly
j who had been killed in the thick
est Of the fight, at d point te
which he had pressed himsel
near where the great chieftal1
fell.
''At the time it was the uni
versal belief with the soldiers
who participated in the battl'
and knew Wheatly, that it wa
he who did the killing. Col
Johnson led a regiment of Ken
lucky volunteers and was mount
; ed, and armed only with a sWor
: and large horse pistols. Tecum
} the was killed by a squirrel riff
5 and not by a horse pistol, an
I the claim that johnson kllle
1 Tecumthe was not made TO
many years after the battle. .

VIII Fight in Dallas,
New York Herald.

New Ofk, Aug. 20.
Mayor Frank p Holland, Of
Dallas, Texas, who recently
sprang into prominence by rea>
son of his stand on the proposed
Corbett- -Fitsimmons fight, is in
this city, and is stopping at the
Marlborough hotel. When | saw
the mayor yesterday and asked
lust how Texas stood on the big
fight, he said:
Il may say that after the first
day Of next September there Will
be no law on the statute books OF
Texas which will prohibit physl-
cal culture contests from taking
place in the State. At present
such a law exists, but by an
amendment of the last LeglSla-
ture it will become null and void
after midnight Of August 81.
The recent proclamation OF
Governor Culberson will have no
bearing whatever, In it he said
he would enforce the law to the
letter, and there is no doubt that
he will He IS a young and de-
termined man, and no influence
on earth would move him from
his duty in enforcing any law.
But, as | said before, there will
be no law which can prohibit the
contest.
The law enacted last Fall en-
bodies a clause which gives ex-
plicit authority to license glove
contests. The license fee is $500,
which will, Of course, be readily
paid. J. J. Smith, formerly AS
sistant Attorney General under
Culberson; George Clark, OF
Waco, candidate for Governor in
the campaign of 1892; Nat Tur-
ner, of Dallas. formerly district
Judge, and former District Judge
Tucker, Of Dallas, have rendered
opinions in which they agree
that the fight can be brought of
without possible interference
from the State authorities.
Il have also talked with Sheriff
Ben Cabell. If the fight i:
. stopped he will be the office
, whose duty it will be TO stop 1t
While he has never before an
+ nounced his intention, he told M
| that he could see no reason VIII,
: he should interfere in any legiti
! mately licensed physical cultur
: contest.
p Texas sentiment does no
n favor the contest. The best pee
pie of the State would prefer
h law which would prohibit 1T, bu
4 not having such law they ar
4 entirely unwilling to avail them

EXTRAORDINARY ACTION
--O-
ON THE PART OF THE GOVERN
MENT OF CHINA.


Liu Ping Chang, Originator of the Recent
Riots, Appointed Commissioner
to Investigate Them.
London. Aug. pa dispatch
from Shanghai to the Pail Mall
Gazette says the Chinese Gov
ernment has made a most extra
ordinary appointment in connec-
ton with the outrages upon the
English missionaries. The for
merly degraded Liu Ping Chang
who is generally regarded as the
actual originator of the Chengtu
riots, has been definitely ap-
pointed imperial high commis-
sioner to investigate the c1rcum-
stances which led to the out
break and the facts connected
with the outrages themselves.
The appointment has caused the
utmost dissatisfaction and indig-
nation among the former resi-
dents.
A dispatch to the Times from
Shanghai confirms the report
that Liu Ping Chang, formerly
Viceroy Of Szu Chuan, has been
appointed imperial high commits
sioner to investigate the out
RACES upon foreign nations.
In the House of Commons to-
day Mr.. Robert W. Hanbury,
Financial Secretary to the Posts
office Department, stated in re-
ply to question by Mr.. Heniker
Heaton, that it was the intention
Of the Government to follow up
the efforts of their predecessors
in office toward the establish
ment of a parcels post service
between the United States ano
Great Britain.
Sir John Leng, member fol
Dundee, asked whether the
Board of Trade could not contro
the railway trains which were
now racing daily between Lon
don and Aberdeen. The extra.
ordinary speed attained by these
trains, he declared, was certain
to result i'll terrible accident.
MIR. Chas. T. Rich, presiden
of the Board Of Trade, replied
that the boord had no power te
interfere in the matter. The
public, he said, must rely upo1
the common sense of the railway
companies.
A dispatch to the Centra
News from Paris says that the
French Government has issued {

tiations between France and th
