That Eastern Question.
New York Tribunal

For the first time In the history OF
Oriental politics, the six great powers
Of Europe are thoroughly in accord and
acting in conert in bringing the Otto.
man government to its senses. Their
combined fleets have sailed for Turkish
waters, with the object Of impressing
upon the porte that the civilized world
will no longer put up with mere prom.
ises OF reform, but requires the i'm.
mediate execution Of long. unfulfilled
pledges. The projected naval demon
stration Of the powers at Constantine.
pie may be relied upon to bring mat.
tiers to q crisis. For 1t will prove to
the Turks that Europe is in earnest as
well as in accord. while it may like.
wise serve to strengthen the position Of
the well.intentioned. but unfortunate
sultan. by proving TO his lieges that il
he yields to the unbelievers it 10 not by
mediation. as they allege. but under
com pulsiou.

NORTH FORK INDIANS WERE PAID
Took Thirty Thousand Dollars From the
Nez Perez Agency

Took Thirty Thousand Dollars From the
Nez Perez Agency.
Lewiston, Idaho, Aug. 27.-The North
Fork Indians, a band on the reserva-
ton which has been disaffected ever
since the present treaty was concluded.
appeared at the agency today and
drew 30 drafts for nearly $4,000. They
had sent representatives a2ead and
had arranged all preliminaries before
coming. The Kendrick bank will get
most of this money, as that is the point
where these Indians have done their
trading.
One Indian, the head of a family, de-
posted $4,000 in a bank here out of
$24OO drawn and purchased a family
carriage with the other $4OO The more
intelligent Nez Perces are buying arti-
cles of use and comfort. Carriages,
buggies, hacks and wagons are favor
lite purchases and good American
horses can be readily disposed of by
dealers.
A gentleman from the Presbyterian
mission at Kamiah arrived today and
stated that the Kamiahs would be at
the agency tomorrow to receive their
drafts. When these are issued the
payment will have been about COM
pleted. All agitation among the Kami-
abs has ceased and they are now anx-
ious to handle the money coming to
them.
Business in Lewiston is on the in
crease and the trade is the deaviest in
the history of this section. There is
less gambling among the Indians,
those who were inclined to risk their
money having departed for their homes.

Chaned Remains Of Little How
ard PietzeI Located at Last.
WAS SLAIN BY DR.. HOLMES
Evidence Which II Is Said Will Convict
Him Before Any jury in
the Country.

Indianapolis, Aug. 27.-Indianapolis
will claim the right to try H. II. Holmes
for murder. The claim will be based on
the horrible developments of today,
which include the finding of the charred
remains of 9-year-old Howard Pietzel
and evidence which before any jury in
the country would convict Holmes of
having murdered him and then par
TALLY burning his body in a stove. De-
tectives Geyer of Philadelphia, Rich
ards of Indianapolis and Inspector
Gary of the Fidelity Trust company,
have been at work for weeks hunting
for traces of the boys body. This morn
ing the detectives went to Irvington,
pretty suburb of this city, and before
they had been at work an hour their
attention was called by a local real
estate dealer to a small vacant cottage
situated in the woods at the edge Of
town and removed from any other
dwellings. The party went to the house
and a few minutes later the officers
found beneath the side porch the MISS
ing trunk, which was taken from the
side door of the Circle House in this
city october 10 by Holmes and which
was thought to contain the body of the
boy.
In a barn connected with the house
was large stove of cylindrical shape,
of the same pattern as Holmes bought
in Cincinnati. The stove had been
moved from the house to the stable
by the owner of the house after Holmes
left. 1t was at once concluded the body
had been burned in the stove and
search begun for the remains.
Late in the evening DR.. Barnhills
attention was called by a small boy
named Walter Jenny to the tove-hole
where the stove had been. 1t was filled
with refuse, This was pulled out and
the remains of the body were found
Physicians and dentists were there and
in this refuse hundreds of pieces Of
charred bones were found. The teeth
showed that the body was that of boy
between and 10 years old and all the
other bones confirmed this. All We're
charred and pieces of flesh chung to
some of them. The skull bones and the
pelvis added the same convincing truth
The boy had evidently been burned in
a cob fire in the huge stove found in the
barn.
Towards overcoat was found at a
grocery store near by, where Holmes
had left it, saying the boy would call
for it. He never came. Owners of the
house recognize Holmes from pictures
and several neighbors distinctly re-
member the face. Several people have
identified him and all doubt is removed.

Massacre of Missionaries lnsti-
gated by Petty Rulers.
DANGEROUS TO PUNISH THEM
If the Pekin Government Attempts TO.
Enforce Penalties Revolution
viii Probably Result.

San Francisco, Aug. 24.-The steam
ship Peru. arrived today from Yoko-
hama, brings the following advices:
Toxic, Japan, Aug. 10-Few details
of the massacre of missionaries at Ku
Cheng have been gathered, but the
available evidence is said to indicate
that the crime was a natural develop
ment of conspiracy organized by well
known viceroys against the entire body
of foreign residents in China. The first
result of the movement was the out
RACES in Szechuan province, instigated
by the deposed viceroy, Liu Ping
Chang. The guilt OF this official has
now been formally declared by his sue
cessor, Viceroy Lu Chuan Lin, who
urges that the originator of the riots
be required to remain in Cheng Tu and
make reparation for his evil deeds.
This proposition has been approved by
the court at PelIin and an imperial
edict has been issued commanding Liu
to settle the affair in accordance with
the judgment soon to be pronounced by
the investigating commission. Grave
doubts, however, are expressed by for
eign officials in China with regard to
the central governments ability to en-
AOlCS PGlldlllcS upon nigh PROVINCIAL
authorities, even assuming that the
penalties will be ordered in good faith.
The supremacy of Manchuria is by no
means assured throughout the country
and any attempt to satisfy the de-
mands of the western powers at the ex-
pence of vice regent satraps may en-
danger the stability of the throne.
DENNY is ACTIVE.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 24.-The fol-
lowing was given out officially at the
state department today:
Assistant Secretary Adees attention
being called to statements in yester-
days papers that much dissatisfaction
was felt at the state department be-
cause Mr.. DENLY had not been heard
from several days. and he was sup
posed to have taken umbrage at the
instructions lately cabled him, Adee
said that he had authorized no express
sion of the departments opinion as to
cause Denbys silence for the simple
reason that no opinion had been formed
or could nationally be formed in the
absence of the knowledge of facts. The
promptness, good judgment and energy
with which Colonel DENLY had acted
upon instructions heretofore sent has
negatived any hasty conjecture that he
was not now endeavoring with alacrity
to fulfill the duties imposed upon him
by the departments kilograms OF the
past week.
REV. SHEFFIELD ATTACKED.
Washington, Aug. 24.-Minister Den
by reports that on the 7th of July Rev.
T. d. Sheffield, an old and highly re-
spected American missionary residing
at Tung Chow, 10 miles from Pekin,
was attacked by a crazy carpenter and
brother and severely cut with a knife.
The criminals are in prison awaiting
trial DENLY adds that the matter
will create a stir in China, but it is alb
solutely without foreign political sig
nificance."
