the attorney general. The reports are
dated Aug %. The district attorney
for Wyoming reports as follows:
81 have no doubt whatever that the
killing of the Indian Tanega on OF about
the 18th Of July was an atrocions, out

it was a murder perpetrated On the part
Of Constable Manning and his deputies
in pursuance Of a scheme and conspir.
acy on their part to prevent the Indians
from exercising a right and privilege,
which is, in my opinion, very clearly
guaranteed to them by the treaty be-
fore mentioned, Should the prosecu-

determined upon it would be useless to
commence it before a commissioner.
The district attorney has been advised
that the department Concurs with him

Hlstorl, PIayhouso Burned

BUFFALO, Sept 2.-The Academy Of
Music, the oldest playhouse in the city,
burned. The loss to the theater is &75,-
900; the loss of the contents is more
lamentable, if not as costly, for the
Academy stage was a store house Of
dramatic history for the past 40 years.
Several theatrical people lose wardrobes,
property and scenery that had been
stored there. The Academy was built
In 1852 by Henry Mech, who died in
1910, since when it has been managed
By his sons, John II. and Henry L.
Mech. The property is worth about
S25O,O and was heavily mortgagsd.
The insurance rates were high and not
half enough was placed to reimburse
the managers. 1t is unlikely that tins
building will be- rebuilt as a theater, as
its location is too far down town to
make it desirable.

CENTRAL CRY, Colo, Aug. 81
Twenty men were working in the
Sleepy Hollow and Americas mines
when last nights food disaster occurred
AL who escaped were engaged at points
above the line Of the break. Ali below
ct the time were almost instantly sub
merged, and their bodies must lie there
for weeks. The names Of the dead are:

The calamity is one which had not
been unexpected. The workings OF
mines are so situated that Gregory, Bob
Tail and the Fiske have been forced to
combat a strong flow Of water. the
pumping Of which by them left the
Sleepy Hollow and Americas practically
dry.
When the Fiske owners failed to ar.
range satisfactorily with their neighbors
to meet a share Of the pumping expenses
they allowed the water to raise in the
lower works, and this large reservoir
stood above the workings Of the adjoin-
ing mines, a constant menace to those
working beneath. The Sleepy Hollow,
Americas and Fiske are on the same
vein of ore The first two are connected
by drifts at the 400 foot level; the
Americas and Fisze are separated by a
wall Of ore standing in the vein at the
joint end lines. So much greater is the
system Of underground workings in the
Fiske than those of its end line neigh
bOrs that the rush of water from the
three levels above the point of the break
was quite sufficient to fill the entire
workings of the two The Amercus
filed first below the 400 foot level, and
it was no appreciate time before water
was pouring from it into the Sleepy Hol-
low through the air tunnel connection
on the level where the break occurred.

EnvOys Charged With Neglect.
The ENJOYS of the United States and
Great Britain at Peking are assailed
with excessive violence by their coun.
trymen in China for alleged neglect Of
duty in connection with the anti-mis.
sionary Outrages at Kucheng and
Chengtu. Not sufficient evidence is pro.
duoed to justify the denunciations Law.
isfed upon them, Immediate retribu-
tion for atrocities is demanded, and as
this cannot be summarily inflicted, the
ministers are accused Of heartless indif.
ference to the claims Of justice and
humanity. The British consular officials
are the more bitterly arraigned, tho in-
eumbent at Foo Chow being particu-
larry charged with reprehensible delay
in ordering an investigation. The
American consuls, on the contrary, are
eulogized for the energy of their efforts
to hold the offenders to account, but
their effort is declared to be unavailing
in consequence Of the apathy exhibited
at Peking.
TO Extirpate Vegetarian Society.
It is certain, however, that Minister
DENLY and his English colleagues have
induced the emperor to order the degra-
dalton Of the chief magistrate Of Ku
Cheng and to order a decree for the ex.
tirpation of the vegetarians' society by
Fookien, the viceroy. Whether this
command can be enforced is considered
extremely doubtful, the imperial author.

Ku Cheng is more severely blamed than
any Of the reputed misdeeds. Il the

Englishmen believe that the governor
