Many Bones Unearthed at the Scene
of the Fearful Murders in
Salt Lake.
LINKS IN THE CHAIN OF CIRCUMSTANCES TO
SHOW THE PASTORS GUILT.
Other Crimes Beside the Staying of Two Young
Women May Be Traced to the Missing
Rev. Francis Hermans.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, May 25.-This has
been an exciting and eventful day in the
investigation of the Scandinavian church
tragedies. The net results are a chain of
circumstances which taken with those
previously discovered, fastens the guilt of
numbering Miss Clausen on the Rev.
Francis Hermans beyond a doubt, and
also goes TO show that Miss Samuelson fell
victim to the pastors satanic actions
and that he may also have had other vic
Tins.
The work of excavating the floor of the
basement OF the church began at an early
hour this morning. A vast amount of
earth was removed and quantities of bones
found in various stages of decomposition.
Some were plainly identified as human
bones, others were in such a condition
that it was impossible to tell whether they
were human or the bones of animals, and
others were plainly recognized as being
those of cattle and fowls.
The general appearance of the place was
such as to suggest the idea of cemetery,
and there is no telling how many human
beings have been inferred in the basement
OF the sacred edifice. At a certain spot
beneath the stairway, where the soil
showed evidence of having been recently
disturbed, the sole and heel of a woman's
shoe were found near the surface, and
little deeper down in the same spot pair
of bloodstained overalls, which were worn
by the pastor while he was engaged in
laboratory and other work, separate and
apart from his books. The overalls were
bloodstained on almost every part.
Ed Johnson, the young man whose
room was heated to such a bigb DECREE of
temperature the day they built the big fire
in the furnace, declares that Hermans had
them on when the latter was met by him
on the basement stairway with a sack
under his arm. He said he also wore a
jumper of like material at the same time.
But all efforts to find this article of cloth
ing were futile.
Then came piece Of confirmatory evil
dence as to what became of it. The fur
mace ashes on being sifted were found TO

Wives of Rev. Mr.. Fiermans Died
Rather StrauDeiy.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, May 25.-Rev.
Francis Hermans who is wanted in Salt
Lake City on suspicion of having caused
the death of Henrietta Clausen and Annie
Samuelson. is not unknown in Mime
apolls. He came here in 1891 through the
instrumentality of Elder Jacobson and
took charge OF the church over which he
presided for six months, after which he
removed to West Superior.
Meanwhile Hermans had married Miss
Bertha Wangen OF Minneapolis. Shortly
afterward Mrs. Hermans proved of un-
sound mind and was sent to an asylum. A
few hours previous TO the time set for her
removal she suddenly died. Although the
circumstances were suspicious no action
was taken. year after this Hermans
wooed and won the hand of one Miss
Lomen of Iowa, the ceremony being per-
formed in Minneapolis
During this time he was still resident
Of West Superior, where he resided until
the fall OF 1893, a few months after his sec
ond marriage.
From West Superior ne removed to Salt
Lake City, Utah, where his second wife
died. During the month of April of the
present year Rev. Mr.. Hermans was in
Minneapolis visiting friends and relatives.
He also paid a visit to West Superior
and afterward went to Iowa, and from
there to Chicago, where he was met bv his
friend, Elder jacobson of this city. While
there Hermans received a telegram from
Salt Lake requesting his immediate pres
ence. He departed and since then moth
ing mas been heard OF him.
Mr. Hermans was making tour of the
country soliciting and collecting means
for his Salt Lake City church, having been
duly authorized by the Bishops to carry
out this mission. His second marriage
here made his third step in the matri-
monial line, if his statement in regard to

ROME, ITALY, May 25.-In reply to an
Interpolation IN regard to the Dreibund,
in the Chamber of Deputies to-day, the
Marquis Di Rudini, Prime Minister, said
that the Dreibund was necessity to Italy,
and declared that if such an alliance did
not exist it would be necessary to create
one. 1t imposed no military obligations,
he said, and it had the unique aim of pre-
serving the peace of Europe. Besides, he
said, it was popular. Italy, the Premier
added, ought not TO hinder the good rela-
tions between France and Russia. The
friendship OF England confirmed the senti-
ments and interest of Italy, and complete d
the Italian system of alliances.

British Pacific Gable Advocates Re-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The Re
publican platform adopted in st. Louis
declares in references to Hawaii
The Hawaiian islands should be
controlled by the United States, and no
foreign power should be permitted to
interfere with them"
That declaration, Endorsed as it was
by great majority of the American
people on Tuesday last, is the basis of
hope of Hawaiians. The news of the
election will reach Honolulu about next
Wednesday, and within ten days from
that date delegation is expected to
arrive in San Francisco to represent
the claims of the newest republic for
recognition by this Government. 1t is
the general understanding here that
the Hawaiian authorities have prepared
a statement of the desire of their people
for annexation which will be presented
to Major Mckinley without delay. The
representatives of the Hawaiians here
believe that the President-elect will
give them his cordial support in his
inaugural message, and the general
belief is that they will not be disap-
pointed.
The inevitable extra session of Con-
gress next spring will have an oppor-
tunity to pass upon this matter, and
already plans are being prepared to
carry out the Republican platform, so
far as it concerns Hawaii.
The same platform declares in re-
ference to Cuba:
I'VE believe that the Government of
the United States should actively use
its influences and good offices to re-
store peace and give independence to
the island"
Members of the Cuban litigation"
now in the city say their compatriots
look upon this declaration as a certain
indication that, not only the bellige-
rency of the insurgents, but the indie
pendence of the island will be recog-
nized by the incoming Administration,
and that the chances are that Presi
dent Cleveland may now take his long
delayed step and extend to the Cubans
the moral support which they insist
Congress intended the President should
have extended to them last winter. In
any event, these two questions are like
ly to become important factors in the
deliberations of Congress early in 1897
if the present Administration fails to
take cognizance of them before the

NEW YORK, November 5.-The Sun
ceived from the States where the vote
was so close as to make the verdict
uncertain have altered the figures here
tofore given but very little. Mckinley s
something over 100. The exact vote
probably will not be known for sew
eral days. Wyoming appears to have
voted for Mckinley electors. One Re-
publican certainly won, because mid
dle-of-the-road Populist elector held
out of fusion. The result in Tennes-
see is in doubt, but only apparently,
because the Democrats in the western
part of the State are uncertain how
many votes to steal. Unprecedented
frauds are going on, which ultimately
will probably give the State to Bryan.
Kentucky is very close, but there is no
doubt Mckinley electors pulled through
by small plurality.
The situation in North Carolina is
mixed. The Republican State chair
man comedies the electoral ticket to
Bryan by 5000 The scratching of TIE
fusion ticket may turn out to have
elected four Republican electors. South
Dakota turns out to be very close. Both
sides claim the electoral ticket, but the
returns which come in very slowly
maintain the small Republican lead.
Kansas and Missouri are both for
Bryan.
There is no material change in the
Congressional situation. A few cham
ges in State pluralities were made,
but they did not decrease McKinley's
popular plurality, which is now more
than 100000

toral vote of the States that went Re-

rality in each:

NEW YORK, Nov. 9th.-The United

since she was launched, lies alongside
the Cob dock in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, submerged to about five feet
above the water line. Early today the
main injunction valve on the starboard
side near midship, about IA feet below
the water line, was showed in from the
force of water. The engine-room was
quickly flooded with dirty, black, mud

tie again. Capt. Glass called the Of

everything possible to minimize the

CIRCULATION OF GOLD.
New York Banks May Soon ResU
SnA.ia.

New York Banks May Soon Resume
specie Payments.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9th.-Banks are
contemplating the resumption of specie
payments, which they suspended in
February, 1892, by refusing to supply
gold for export and for the payment of
Government dues. That action threw
the burden of supplying gold upon the
Treasury, and eventually forced the
issue of bonds by the Government
which aroused so much complaint.
Since the election gold has been COM
ing into the banks in such a flood that
they see their way clear to what can
be termed the resumption of specie
payments. By this action of the banks
gold will be put into circulation and no
reason whatever will exist for boarding
it. They will also resume the task of
supplying gold for export and thus re-
lieve the Treasury of a great strain.
