AMEER OF AFeHANIsTAN
Highly Incensed at the Failure Of Hi
Sons Mission to England.

Sons Mission to England.
London, Nov. 22.- The Evening
New publishes letter from Puetta, a
small town Of Beloochistan, near AT.
ghanistan frontier, which states that
the ameer Of Afghanistan is greatly
annoyed at the failure of Nazrullah
Khan, his second son, to arrange for a
permanent Afghanistan representative
at London during his recent visit to
England. In consequence Of the rage
OF the ameer Of Afghanistan, many
persons have been buried alive, a great
number Of his subjects have been inn
prisoned, while many others have fed.
A notable who accompanied Prince
Nazrullah ON the occasion of his visit
to England, named Kotwai, is to be
tortured as soon as he arrives. 1t is
expected that Nazrullah Khan himself
will be punished, and that possibly he
may be banished from Afghanistan.
The visit Of Nazrullah Khan, the
second son Of the ameer was one Of the
features Of social and political life
in London last summer. The ameer
himself was invited to pay a visit to
England, but his health would not per.
init him to accept the invitation. At
first it was proposed that his eldest
son, Prince Habbibull, should go to
England instead of the ameer, but the
ameer, having virtually handed over
the reins Of the government to the heir
apparent, decided he could not allow
him to leave Cabul. The idea of rep
resenting the ameer devolved on the
second son, Nazrullah. No expense
was spared in selecting presents for the
royal heads Of Europe, fully two lahks
Of rupees having been expended at
Cashmere for the purchase of rich
shawls and other costly presents. In
addition to this, large sums were paid
out for the purpose of giving all the
crowd of his sons followers suits of
clothing. money, etc.
The eccentricity, Of Prince Nazrullah
has amused and astonished Europe. 1t
was expected upon return to Afghanis-
tan that he would wed the daughter of
a wealthy chief. But this part of the
programme he seems to have disregard.
ed, owing to the disfavor existing be.
cause of the failure to the political end
Of his mission. One estimate was
made showing that his few weeks visit
in London cost the English government
SO, 600 for entertainments and travel
ing expenses, exclusive of the large
bills brought in by proprietors of hotels
where the prince stopped, because of
the peculiar methods of natives of his
suite, some of them preparing in the
rooms at the hotels, after the manner
of Afghanistans, the animals purchased
for food for their master.

FOR THE STATEHOUSE
Bids for Constructing the Cap.
itol at Olympia.
BUT TWO BIDS COMPLY WITH LAW
Many Preliminary Details Must BE Ar
ranged Before the Commission
VIII Award the Contract.

Olympia, Wash, Nov. 21.--Bids for
the construction of the superstructure
Of the new capitol were opened today.
but owing to the fact that preliminary
details must receive the attention OF
the commission and that the advice OF
the attorney general must be taken re-
garding certain legal questions in
volved, no conclusion will be reached
till tomorrow. The details Of the bids
were as follows:
| d. w. Starratt, Port Townsend,
1878. 1853; first alternative addition,
$50, 400; second addition, SO, ,681; third
addition, $4,000; fourth deduction,
$50, 900.
John keenan,, Spokane, 1914, 900; no
alternatives.
| Oskar Huber, Spokane, $9s6, 545;
first alternative addition, $26, $40; Sec
ord addition, $12, 1915; third addition,
| 81 $40; fourth deduction, $121, 200;
deduction Of $19,7 if Tenino stone is
used; will use Denny Clay Company
fire proofng without extra cost.
+. D. Heustis and A. E. Barrett,
! $946, 900; first alternative addition,
$21 800; second addition 81, 500; third
addition, $4,000; fourth deduction,
S69, $50.
The alternatives noted in bid are
conditions in the specifications for var.
ious kinds of material. The bid of
Robert Wakefield, of Portland, was ac-
companied by bonds from nonresidents
Of the state, which is against the pro-
visions Of the law, and, therefore, the
bid could not be considered, and was
returned unopened. The bid of Star
ratt was unaccompanied by bond and
is not likely to receive consideration.
John Keenan's bid being over the limit
of the appropriation, without any al
ternatives, cannot enter the competi-
tion. This would seem to confine the
contest to the bids of Huber and Heus-
tbs. The bid of the latter stipulated
that if, at any time during the con-
struction of the building, warrants
should fall in value below par, the time
consumed in placing the same at their
face value should be deducted from the
time stipulated for the completion of
the work.
The members of the commission are
reticent as to the final disposition of
the matter. 1t will be remembered
that the late legislature appropriated
$3.50, 900, which amount was supposed
to represent the original $1,000, 900,
minus 100000 already expended in
preliminary work. Of the new ap-
preparation there has been expended
$36, 1874, leaving $S93, ,SS8.S6 for
the completion of the building, and it
is now for the commission to decide if
any one of the bids or desirable alter
natives comes within the limit of the
appropriation.

Real Estate Agent Reported Killed
During q Dispute Over II Claim.
Lewiston, Nov. 22.--It is reported
that a real estate agent of this city by
the name of Hughes has been shot and
killed ON the reservation. A dispute
arose over a claim and is said to have
resulted in angry words and the draw
ing of guns, with the result that
Hughes was killed.
Ranchers are filing claims in con-
tinual stream, and as fast as the land
officials can accommodate them. Yes
terday there was a continual line at
the Office and about 100 men were ac-
oommodated. Today the work goes
ON as yesterday and about as many
more will be able to file.
The principal townsite is about forty
miles from here and thus far is the only
one which seems to be of any import
ance. Some difficulty was had in
making the location for this town, and
it was subsequently, moved about six
miles from where it had originally
been intended to be located. There
are two or three towns located along
the Clearwater, which are expected to
become trading points of some i'm
portanoe, especially if the new scheme
to put boat line on this river proves
successful.

AMATEUR ATHLETICS.
New Rules Adopted by the National
Union,

New Rules Adopted by the National
Union.
New York, Nov. 21.-The annual
meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union
of the United States, which was held
at the Astor house, adopted stringent
resolutions to govern the relations of
amateurs to professionals, which are
decidedly more radical than any ever
before considered ON the subject. The
legislation passed in detail was:
That no amateur can race for a purse
without becoming Ineligible; that no
amateur baseball team can play against
professional team or maintain pro-
fessional battery; that no football team
can have professional coach play
with it; that the maintenance of train
ing tables by clubs should be abolished,
and that training and travelling ex-
penses should not be allowed; also that
an athlete who has no visible means of
support is not an amateur.
Several other matters of importance
were passed on. In the case Of Hickok,
the Yale hammer and weight thrower,
who was suspended for competing in
unregistered games, it was decided
that he is still ineligible, and that he
must return his medals.
G. w. Stage, the Cleveland sprinter.
who oficiated as umpire of the ma
tional baseball league, was declared to
be professional therefor, and will not
be permitted to compete in amateur
events.
The delegates at the convention rep
resented the Atlantic Association, New
England Association, North American
Gymnastic Union and the Pacific
Northwest Association, J. Boyd, Of the
N. j. A. c., alternate, representing
the latter organization. The Central
Pacific and Southern Associations have
not paid their dues and were not en-.
titled to representation.
A resolution was adopted highly
complimentary to w. B. Curtis, recent
president of the association, but as the
New York Athletic Club, of which he
is member, recently withdrew from
the union, he was legislated out of
office. Messrs. M. B. Hopkinson, ].
Boyd and NJ. J. Steele were appointed
committee to formulate amendments
to the constitution to cover the legisla-
tion decided upon.

HIS LAST HOPE GONE.
Harry Hayward's Motion for q New
Trial Denied.

Harry Hayward's Motion for q New
Trial Denied.
Minneapolis, Nov. 22.-The last
hope that remained to Harry Hay ward
for his life was wrested from him when
the supreme court this morning handed
down long opinion affirming the ac-
tion of the court in denying him new
trial. The court is unanimous in its
opinion, saving as to one finding as to
the admissibility Of Mr., Hazletine's
evidence-to which Chief Justice
Stuart dissents. The court finds no er-
ror in the conduct of the trial, and de-
clares that the trial judge was justified
in excluding the testimony as to the
sanity of Adry Hayward while on the
stand, when no foundation had been
laid as to his previous condition. Ii
was also proper to exclude the evidence
as to the insanity of the family, under
the circumstances, the distinction be-
ing insanity as direct issue was col.
lateral one. affecting the competency
of a witness, which is also noted.
Harry Hayward turned pale when
the decision was announced to him,
but would say nothing more than: "It
was just what expected. He is ap'
parently without hope. County Attor'
ney Nye, to whom Governor Clough
has referred the fixing of the date Of
the execution, will name December {

After the first hour the market again be-

The weeks market has developed the
fact that while buyers OF stocks have been
few. sellers have not been numerous.
Accordingly, except in a few noteworthy
instances, the transactions have been
due to the room scalpers. The dominant
factor on the bear side has been again
the adverse condition of the foreign ex
