work, they we're extricated alive. In the
central part of the city dozen houses
were wrecked. The Central railroad
round house and paint shops were badly
damaged, and one engine was smashed
under the debris. It is extraordinary
that no lives were lost. The entire

numbers of citizens, we're at work on the
ruins and the injured are being cared for
at the hospitals.

Investigating Carson City Mint
SERIOUS Shortage Alleged
Peace Negotiations.

Washington, Mch. 2O.-R. E. Preston,
director of the mint, said to-day that
early last month he received an intima-
tion that there was shortage in the ac-
counts of the smelter and retiner of the
Carson mint, and Supt. Mason, of the
New York assayer's Office, was Immediate
ly detailed to make an investigation. On
the face of the accounts there appeared
to be shortage of something less than
$60,O0O. So far as Preston knows the
responsibility has not yet been located,
but he has no doubt that one or more
arrests will be made soon.

The "souud money" crowd claims to
have made a poll of the next house of
representatives and to have ascertained
that a large majority of the members
are against silver The people will be
content to wait and see what the senti-
ment of the house is on the silver quea-
ton, and if it proved to be as indicated
by the sound money" people, they will
see to it that the house which shall be
elected uext year is different. A large
number of representatives were defeated
last year on account of their attitude in
opposition TO silver, and if there are
others who want to make the experiment
they may rest assured that their lesson
will be forthcoming.

JUDGE HAzEN's decision in the Hafner
case while not unlocked for is no less
Important. a contrary rule once estab-
lished would have worked serious injury
to the business and the benefits of life
insurance. Life insurance is for the
benefit Of the family of the policy holder
after he is dead Any law or ruling
which would permit of diversion of any
of the benefits arising from Insurance
would tend to discourage investments in
that line The absolute certainty which
man feels that his family will be pro-
vided for after he is gone no matter what
happens has had more to do with the
wonderful increase in the business than
anything else. The contention of the
plaintiff in this case that the law of 1895
was unconstitutional because it impaired
ne validity of contr acts, was weak from
the fact that an insurance contract pro-
vides specifically for the payment of
sum of money to certain benefciaries. 1t
does not say after any or all legitimate
claims are satisfied. Any other kind of
settlement than the payment of the en-
tire amount of the policy would be
clearly an impairment of the contract.
If it were once established that insur
snce money could be seized for debt
precious little of it would ever reach the
bsnefciaries, at least until the second
generation. When once tied up in the
courts with their interminable delays the
money would be SO long reaching the
family of the policy holder that they
would stand fair chance of dying of
want and being buried in the potters
field unless they were self sup porting or
had friends

WHEN taking into consideration the
fact that the people persist in electing
lawyers to- the legislature it is not sur
prising that there should be laws found
which were enacted for their especial
benefit A lawyer may commit crime
and not be subjected to the same punish
ment as other people are for a similar
offense. This is class legislation of the
worst sort Some day we may have a
legislature of which the majority of the
members are doctors, and then we may
expect law which will exempt them
from punishment for killing people, and
then a Legislature composed of police
men, followed by law exempting them
from prosecution for beating and killing
unofending citizens. It-is but fair that
this thing should be passed around. The
druggists have a law that none but they
may sell whisky, the lawyers have law
that none but they may embezzle; what
other class of citizens would like some
special legislation?

What One of CIeveIand's Arabs Says About
America-The Hus tier Tomorrow.
The large s. house of the season saw
Cleveland's minstrels at the Grand last
evening, but it was not large enough to
suit Mr.. Cleveland, who, in company
with his wife, travels with his show this
year.
Mr.. Cleveland said last night: "The
show business in the west is miserable
this year, and though contracted and
billed to the coast, shall not go farther
west than Omaha aud will get back
toward Chicago as fast as possible"
Mrs. Cleveland and lady friend sat
in box on the south side of the theater
last evening.
There are some excellent new special
ties and some fine singers.
Among the white soloists Mr.. Dicken
Is the only one who was with the show
last season.
The work Of the company was we'll
received and the house was in a roar
from the time the curtain rose.
here were few new songs, and apropos
of this performance and others that have
been in Topeka this season one really
begins to wonder when company will
happen along some member of which
will not sing "Only One Girl For Me-"
1t hasn't any tune, anyway. Why don't
the average man appear who like others
of his sex, has two or three girls to each
of whom he swears she is beautiful, in
stead of the very ungallant for-the-sake-
of-rhyme statement that she's not SO very
pretty. etc?
The first show that will come to To.
peka and not sing this song should be
given prize.
The Japanese jugglers and the Ara
blan athletes were among the best feat
ures of the performance.
While Selim Nasr (which the pro-
grammes ignorantly spell Saleem Nassar)
the strong man was still painting from
the exercise of holding aloft seven of his
fellows, JOURNAL reporter visited him
behind the scenes. He had donned his
picturesque costume OF. Zonave jacket,
sash and boomers, which have the ap-
pearance of being unbifurcated.
He smiled a pleasant smile. but could
talk but very little English. Asked
where he was born he shook his head,
but the magic word home made him say
"South Observation-Disclosures"
''Are the others your brothers?n Some
same tribe-others Moorish Arabs'
Then Mr.. Nasr preferred his picture to
the reporter, and wrote his name across
the back in Ara ian characters, begin
ming at the right hand and writing to the
left.
Mr.. Nasr carries a small scrap book
containing photograph of himself hold
ing up fourteen men and several news
paper notices showing that he was with
Buffalo Bill's Wild West show durin g
the Worlds fair year.
When the reporter asked how he liked
America, and if he would like to see an
Arabian horse he at first shook his head
| slowly and said, "Show business my

one in Chicago, one in Canada, no
other" He has been in America three
! years and ten months.

CRISIS NOT EARnFF.
Cuban Insurgents said to BE Within 10
Miles of Havana.


CHICAGO, Sept IA special to the
Tribune from Havana, Sept 10, says:
Armed parties of revoiutionists are al
ready in the province of Matanzas and
actually within 70 miles of the city of
Havana. OF greater importance is the
reported advance into the province of
NJ atanzas. If, as it is said, they have
quantities of arms and munitions there
concealed and if they are really advanc-
ing in force, the crisis is not far off.
Yesterday morning at O'Clock, while
the steamer Santa Barbara with the
battalion of Teluan, 1000 men, was
waiting outside the haroor the govern
mental chief of police suddenly called in
his inspectors and chief officers, and at
$3.50 O'clock these, with reinforcements
from the municipal police, went off
rapidly in many directions.
Eghty-five persons were arrested by
them within a few hours, and are now
confined in cells in the Mora castle.
Rumors were soon flying around that
a great cons piracy has been discovered
and that the initial step was to have
been attack with dynamite on the Santa
Barbara, or on the battalion.
1t is said documents duplicating i'm
portant personages have been found. 1t
is also said that a large quantity of con-
cealed arms and munitions have been
seized. The sequel to the arrests came
at midnight when there was d frightfnl
accident in the harbor This accident
was nothing more or less than the sink
ing of the Spanish cruiser Barcastegui
in which forty-one lives were lost
This terrible affair, coming close on the
heels of the arrests, has caused profound
alarm, While official reports leave little
doubt that the collision was accidental,
nevertheless it is a strange coincidence
at least The question is asked how the
Mortera should have been sttem pting to
enter the port after it was closed, and
there are those who say it was better to
send Spanish cruiser aud an admiral to
the bottom than even a troop ship.

E. Rose of the Seventy seventh Pennsy1-
vania volunteers and a few faithful
friends. Of the 100 fugitives 90 reached
the Union lines, 48 were recaptured and
2 were drowned. Walker was one Of
the fortunate SO and soon rejoined his
regiment and returned to the front
Colonel Walker is a native of Indiana
and was born Feb. 8, 1889. Although
but % years of age when the war began,
he raised company in the Seventy third
Indiana volunteers, became captain of
the company and was soon face to face
with the horrors Of war.
He served with the Army of the Cum
berland at Richmond. Perryville and
Stones river, and in the last named en-
gagement was promoted to the rank of
major. When Rosecrans mounted an in
fantry brigade On mules and horses at
Nashville and sent Colonel Streight, the
commander, on raid through Georgia
and Alabama, Walker was one of the
unfortunates connected with the expe-
dition Streight destroyed much valu-
able property, but he was holly pursued
by the Confederate general, Forrest, and
after whipping Forrest in number OF
engagements was compelled to surrender
his entire command With l ,465 other
luckless Yankees Walker was hurried
away to Confederate prison pens, and
for over a year endured the hsrrors Of
Libby prison before he finally succeeded
in escaping from the Bastile Of the Con
federacy. During the advance on At
lanta he rendered conspicuous services,
and at the battle of Nashville was per-
sonally complimented by General Thorn
as, whom he served as aid.
In 1857 Colonel Walker joined the @.
A. R., and has since been prominent
among the veterans. He has held the
highest offices within the gift of the In
diana department, and year ago was
elected senior vice commander in chief
of the entire order.
