CHARGES OF C0CKR|LL
MISSIONARIES AROUSED BY THE
STATEMENTS OF THE COR
RESPONDENT.
AN INVESTIGATION DECIDED Upon
AT A STORMY MEETING OF
THE BOARD.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 28.-A meeting of
the American Board of Missions was held
tonight in Music Hall for the purpose of
ordering general inquiry to be made into
the statements of Colonel Cockrill, the
New York Herald's correspondent in ia.
pan, that the missionaries there were
abusing their power and were utterly in
competent to carry on the work.
The meeting was very stormy one, and
after general discussion the statements
were declared unanimously by the assem-
bly, to be untrue.
The committee on foreign missions was
then instructed to inquire into the charges
and if they found sufficient proof to war
rant an investigation they were to report
to the general board and meeting would
be called.
The statement of Colonel Cockrill has
aroused considerable agitation in mission
ary circles, and the general opinion is that
an investigation as to the truth or falsity
of the charges will be mace.

SWEEP OF A PRAIRIE FIRE,
HOUSES, CATTLE AND EVEN HU-
MAN BEINGS CUT DOWN
BY FLAMES.
INDIANA VILLAGES IN DANGER OF
OBSTRUCTION, BUT CITIZENS
MAKE A HARD FIGHT.

CROWN POINT, IND. Oct. 2S-For
three days terrible prairie fire has been
burning in the great Kankakee marsh,
which composes nearly the entire southern
half of Lake and Porter counties. Trees,
brush, grass, cattle and even human
beings are being swept down. Everything
is as dry as tinder and the wind has been
blowing furious gale.
1t is reported tonight that the flames
are approaching the town of Hebron, nine
miles east of here. Several lives have al
ready been lost. and reports reached here
this evening that family of three had
been burned to death few miles west of
Kouts.
The village of Lowell is in the direct path
of the advancing flames. and the inhabi-
tants have turned out en- masse in an en-
deavor to check the fire. Various esti-
mates ranging from S65, 900 to $500 900 have
been placed, and unless rain falls it will be
still greater.

HESITATION MEANS FAILURE.
Now Is the Time to Put Forth All Our
Efforts and Turn the Tide
This WAY.

The problem of how to get the conven-
tion to San Francisco is becoming clearer
daily, and the questions that seemed to be
the most complicated are being dissolved
into clear issues.
We have the accommodations for the
crowd. We have the necessary capital in
sight to pay off the debt of the National
Committee. We have the telegraphic
facilities to supply the East with concise
and complete report of the proceedings of
the convention, and now all we require ia
the approval of the committee.
With all these advantages, however. the
matter is yet of serious discussion, and
those with whom the arrangements will
eventually rest are doing all in their power
TO exercise discretion and wisdom in reach
ing results.
The population at large is awaking to
the importance of rapid work. There is
no time to lose in the settlement of the
matter involved, as other cities, equally
anxious and sincere as San Francisco, are
straining every point to secure the conven-
ton and its attendant benefits.
Any hesitation on the part Of the people
who are able to be of the greatest service
now may result in disaster, notwithstand-
ing the encouragement San Francisco is
receiving from all parts of the United
States. If we do not fight our own battle
no one else can be expected to do it for
US. In the light of these things it is not
only important but wise, to grasp every
straw to increase our strength and add to
the array of reasons for holding the con-
vention here.
1t is true that we have such men as Hon,
Joseph Manley, General Clarkson and
other powers of the National Committee at
our back, but we should show by our acts
and stability that they are receiving the
united strength and support of the people
of the coast.
1t can be said with truth that the State
of California never developed such unity
of purpose as is displayed in this fight for
the National convention, but there is still
an opportunity to do even more.
Those who have started the proposition
and shown faith in it by liberal subscrip.
tions to the fund are not disposed to scoff
at even the smallest assistance. Every
stick of timber added to the foundation
strengthens the whole and makes the
success of the plan all the more probable.
Let every shopkeeper, business man
and interested citizen come to the 'front.'
and offer what assistance he is able to give,
1t matters not if he is among the small
subscribers so long as he does it for the
cause. The old story of the widows mite
is good lesson to follow and TIE CALL
hopes to see every man in San Francisco
who can afford it come to the aid of his
City and State with a donation to the
fund.

picture made by Holmes at this point.
Slender, erect and more youthful than his
pictures make him appear, and with an
added delicacy given his naturally clear
cut and refined face by his long confne-
ment in prison, Holmes arose to his feet
and addressed the court. His voice was
weak and quivering like that of man
who had been i'll and hardly carried the
short distance that separated him from
the court. He announced that he would
not accept the lawyers appointed by the
court and that he would conduct his own
defense.
A hum of astonishment went around the
courtroom, but, alone and without friend
by his side, the nerve that has enabled
this man to leave behind him a trail of
dead without a sho., of compunction or
remorse bore him up under the trying or
deal of the desertion of his counsel.
Holmes exercised his right of challenge,
and before the jury was obtained eighteen
men had been set aside by him. When
court reconvened this afternoon Holmes
sat in the dock busily engaged taking notes
during his terrible arraignment by the
District Attorney in his opening argument.
All CGCdSlOudl AuSu LIdb SuIIuSSu Ills
cheek and once in a while slight lifting
of the eyebrows when the District Attor-
ney became particularly earnest were the
only marks of emotion exhibited by
Holmes.
When the District Attorney had con-
cluded his argument Holmes requested
that he be allowed light and writing ma
terials in his cell in the County Prison.
This was granted him, and then Holmes
asked to be allowed to see his wife. A
sharp interchange of dialogue occurred
between the prisoner and the District At
torney as to which wife he wanted to see,
and finally Holmes was driven to say that
it was the last woman who had been de-
ceived into marrying him. This woman
has refused to see Holmes, but he obtained
a promise from the court that letter
should be given her tonight, and that if
she would comply an answer to it should
be sent to him from her.
The case was called shortly after 10
o'clock. After the formaities in connec-
tion with the opening of court had been
concluded, w. II. Shoemaker, of counsel
for the prisoner, in an address of some
length, asked for a postponement of the
case for sixty days. Mr.. Shoemakers con-
tention was that the defense was not pre-
pared for trial; that no witnesses were
present. District Attorney Graham stren-
uoEsly opposed the motion, declaring that
the States witnesses were present at their
own volition, and that if continuance
should be granted it would mean "the
absolute destruction of the common

impaired, Mr.. Graham further said, and If
the case should be postponed the strain
would intensity her illness.
Lawyer Samuel P. Rotan for the defense
also pleaded for time in which he and his
colleague could realize on Holmes assets
and thus bring witnesses to Philadelphia
who will not come unless their expenses
are paid. The discovery of new testimony
within the past four or five days which he

PARIS, FRANCE, Oct. 28--The Ribot Min
istry has been overthrown by an adverse
vote on M. Rouanet's Interpolation in the
Chamber of Deputies, condemning the
Governments course in regard to the
Southern Railway scandals. The Govern
ment was defeated by vote of 80 to I'll
After the adverse vote the Ministers filed
out of the Chamber to carry their resigna-
tions to President Faure at the Elysee.
Great excitement prevailed.
Deputy RouaEet's motion, which was
adopted and caused the overthrow of the
Ministry, was as follows:
"The Chamber of Deputies, considering
it proper to interdict its membe from
taking part in the operations of financial
syndicates, Is resolved to throw complete
light on the affairs of the Southern rail-
ways, and invites the Minister of Justice
to fulfill all his responsibilities"
The Ministry which has just gone out of
office was constituted January 81, 1895, ten
days after the election of NJ. Felix Faure
as President of the republic. 1t was con-
stituted as follows; President of the Coun-

BOSTON, MASS, Oct. 28.-Within the
last two months Cinnamon in the East
have been leaving in large numbers. and,
although the authorities have made every
effort to gain some reason to explain the
sudden exodus, they have been unable to
do so. To-day, however, they gained in

shows that the Cinnamon are hurrying

and agents, although why the order
should have been issued is matter Of
conjecture only.
The report has gained credence, how
ever that this recall has great deal OF
