The New York Herald's correspon-
dent in Quito says that one of the
first projects which will be submitted
to the national convention, which as
sembles in May, will be a commercial
treaty with Spain for the construction
of railway from Ibarria to Paillon.
If the convention should sanction the
treaty the road will be built at once.
The Herald's correspondent in Guaya-

THE SHEA CASE.
skeptfcism Pervndes the Group of
Reporters and Policemen Present

DANNFIMOI2A, n. Y, Feb. 10,-Skepti-
cism pervaded the group Of twenty or
more newspaper men and physicians who
are gathered here tonight; it pervades
the prison also and the officers, while
they have made every preparation usu-
ally made for the death of a condemned
criminal, feel the effects of the skepticaI
atmosphere.
Even Bartholomew Shea. condemned
to die before the noon hour tomorrow, fs
a trif1e buoyed up by the same feeling
his life. 1t is not skepticism born of
hope, but rather of precedent, for Shea
has said his good byes to his friends. ap-
parently accepting the word of all those
surrounding him that this is the end.
The prison officers have completed every
arrangement; the witnesses are on the
ground. the warden has told Shea that
there is no possible hope for him; the
hour of the execution has been set, and
yet, before everybody here looms UP the
significant fact that Shea four distinct
times has been equally as far beneath
the shadow of DEATH and the yawning
victim snatched from them. just SO many
times. Will this fifth preparation for
death be final. is the question that agi-
tates all here Compared with the pre-
DaratiOn for other executions this is not
different. During a lapse of two years
since the commission of Shea; s crime, the
nRnt OIL MS attorneys 10 save their client
has been unceasing, and 50 clever as to
challenge admiration, while the .prosecu-
ton has been equally brilliant. Tine sem
sational episodes that have marked the
case since the commission of the crime
and down to the day of execution, will
not be lacking tomorrow.
A singular fact is that Shea will be
executed by his friends. Warden Thayer,
who read the death warrant to him to-
night. has known him from boyDood,
living in the same city with him Eeputy
Warden McKenna. who will lead the
procession of death as a guard to the
prisoner, is also from Troy and knew the
convicted man wei. These were mere
incidents only leading up to the more
dramatic fact that in another part of
the prison is man. who, in ne presence
Of witnesses, under oath and III his own
handwriting. has declared himself the
murderer of the man for whose death
Bartholomew Shea will tomorrow morn
ing atone Whether or not Shea really
killed Ross, the confessed murdered, Nc
Cough. and Shea alone know. In all the
history of crime in this state, it IS doubt
1ful if there ever was such a serious sit
uation. or one that had in it elements
of such dramatic nature.

Saturday and did not take his defeat with
his usual good grace. kearney was nosed
out for second place by Nephew in this

5000 that his horse cold beat Nephew I'M
der the same conditions, which were &C
cepted, and todays match was the re-
suit. 'PimSburg Phil'' backed his horse

Hebrews Unite.

BUFFALO. N, z. Feb. 1O.--Nearly
All the Protestant churches of Buffalo,
with several of the Jewish congrega-
lions, united in twenty-five places of
worship last night in simultaneous
meetings to protest against the Arme-
MAN outrages. A uniform resolution
was adopted at the several meetings
calling on congress and the executive
branch of the United States govern
ment to take such immediate action
as will effectively restrain the Turkish
government and subjects from further
murder and outrages in Armenia and
demanding that commissioners from
this government be at once dispatched
to Turkey to see that our demands are
complied with. Copies of the resolu-
lions will be sent to each senator and
representative in congress for this
state to be by them presented to the
president and introduced in both houses
of congress.
A large contribution for relief work
in the stricken provinces was taken I'D
at the meetings.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 10.--Lulu
May Hollingsworth, the young woman
who is supposed to know something
about the Fort Thomas murder mys-
terry. made another alleged confession
tonight. She says the death of Pearl
Bryan was caused by an abortion, and
that it was performed in a, stairway "a
this city. Miss Hollingsworth says she
performed the abortion at the request
of Miss Bryan. She also claims to have
received a letter from Jackson in which
he explains how and where the Wo
man was decapitated. In the letter, &C
cording to her story, Jackson said that
Miss Bryan died in a room; that de
hired horse and buggy and employed
q negro to assist him. The negro, with
the body of Miss Bryan, drove to Fort
Thomas, where Jackson was in wait
ing. The negro cut off the head of the
young woman with a cleaver, and
Jackson threw it into the river from
the suspension bridge. The police be-
lieve Miss Hollingsworth is a notoriety
seeker and discredit her story.
So far she has been unable ito verify
her story, and although the officers
have worked constantly they have
been unable to find anything to sub
stantiate it.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Sixty-two
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
church in this country, who a week
ago petitioned President Cleveland to
take some forceful action that would
lead to a cessation of the massacre OF
Christians in Armenia, have sent Pc
titions to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury head of the Anglican church,
and through the various ministers of
foreign affairs to the car, the president
of France and the emperors of Ger
many and Austria.
In their letter to the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the bishops declare that
a crusade supported by Christians the
world over would be warranted, and
plead that the great church of England
Through it's episcopal head, shall take
decisive action.
To the great powers they pray that
in the name of Christ they come to
the aid of the prosecuted brethren
who are suffering worse than the Ro-
man emperors ever prosecuted, worse
than the martyrs of the early church
ever endured.
Our differences of doctrine" they
say, ''are as nothing in the presence
of a crisis like this. All we who pro-
fess and call ourselves Christians must
place the rescue of hundreds of thous-
ands of our fellow Christians from
death, or what is worse tran death,
above all questions of mere material
and personal advantage. 1t is not a
question of policy, but Of Christianity,
and even of common humanity. For
Christ's sake, save our brothers from
death and rescue a Christian commu-
nifty from extinction

Lively Times.

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. 10-There have
been lively times today between Dan
Stuart, Martin Julian, Bob Fitzsim-
mons, the Maher people, and the par
ties who are represented in the kineto-
scope. The trouble began early this
morning. Julian came over from
Juarez and "Buck'' Connolly. represent
ing Maher and his hacker, ]. j. Quinn,
came down from Las Cruces to have a
conference with Dan Stuart.
The articles Of agreement with Fitz-
simmons and Maher stipulated they
were to fight for $4,000 and if Stuart
tailed to bring the fight off on Febru-
airy IA, he was to forfeit them the
stake-$5, 000 OF this amount $1,000 is
in the hands Of Sam Austin OF New
York, the temporary stake holder.
The conference today was at Stuart s
suggestion to consider a proposition he
has TO make. He asked the men, be-
cause there were SO few people here,
to agree to divide only the $1,000 now up
In case the fight did not come off. in
stead of demanding the full $4,000.
Julian was the first to kick. Buck Con-
nelly for MaheF, was at first inclined to
let Stuart have his own way, but the
conference broke UP with all hands III
an ugly MOOD ana Cne question as 10
what the fighters would get were they
not to fight remained unsettled.
Later in the day Stuart notified the
managers of the fight he would with
draw his request and the full $4,000
could be divided between them whether
they fought or not.
Another Squabble has come up which
threatens to break up the whole bust
ness. Julian this morning met e. Rec
tor, the kaleidoscope representative
here, and asked him if he expected to
photograph the fight. Rector admit
ted that he did. Then Julian said: "I
will not allow F'itZsinmons to appear
in the ring nor will he appear until
the company gives US $4,000 in cash. :"
Il have nothing to do with YOU"
replied Rector. my business is with
Stuart. Go to him.
1t makes no difference who Won have
business with" retorted Julian. ''I ten
you. who are representing the kineto-
scope that Fftzsimmons will not enter
the ring and permit the company to pho
tograph his fighting unless he receives
$4,000 cash and gets it before he enters
the ring
It stunned Stuart when Bector told
him Of it. and made him so mad he was
on the point of calling everything off
He hunted up Julian and had a long
conversation with him. What the out
come was Is not known. But 1t is be-
lieved Julian was induced to reconsider
his demands He and Fitzsmmons re-
turned to Juarez late this afternoon,

SLUGGERS.
GREAT DEAL OF TALK, BUT LIT
TIE FIGHTING.
Government Means Business and
sIugging viii Be stopped at All
Hazards.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10.-Senor Ro-
nero was in consultation with Secre-
tary Olney today.
The lines of the law on both sides Of
the Rio Grande are drawing more and
more closely around the party of pugi-
lists who are, standing on the border Of
the United States and Mexico and de-
velopments extremely unpleasant in
their results to the sports may occur
at any moment.
Senior Romero says the authorities
of the Mexican state of Chihuahua. are
thoroughly in. earnest in their deter
mination to stop the fight, and he
points out that if the sports get across
the line into Mexico they will be sub
ject to immediate arrest. In other
words. it will not be necessary for
Mexican officials to wait until an eff
fort is made to fight actually, but hav-
ing now satisfactory evidence that
there is a deliberate intention on the
part of the pugilists TO break the law
of Mexico, the legal officers of the
state of Chihuahua are now, under
Mexican practice, at liberty to arrest
every member of the party, including
the would-be spectators, who. by their
presence, give encouragement to the
intended offense, as soon as they cross
bhe boundary line.
AS for New Mexican soil, it is GER
tain that the territorial officials, with
the assurances they have received from
the federal government, of the fullest
measure of support in their efforts,
first to prevent the fight coming off
thereon, and second to secure the pun
ishment of all participants if it is
pulled off regardless of where they
may seek refuge in the United States,
are now fully able to meet any move
ment of the fighters. In Texas also
the way seems to be closed against the
sports by the active steps taken by
Governor Culberson, who has assem-
bled the Texas rangers near the scene
of the rendezvous, and it is, moreover,
reported here that some surprising de-
velopments may be looked for in that
state that will discomfort the pugiists.
In reference to concurrent rumor
that an attempt will be made to pull
off the fight on some of the islands of
the Rio Grande, or other lands which
cannot now be accurately said to be
in either Mexico or Texas, it is said
here that If in such case the Mexican
officials see fit to assume jurisdiction
over any such tract for the prevention
of an act in violation Of the laws of
both the United States and the Next
can governments. our government will
not be disposed to make any point
against them.

The Body.

CHICAGO. Feb. 1O.-A dispatch from
Greencastle, Ind, says:
The headless body of Pearl Bryan, who
was so brutally murdered at Cincinnati
was brought to Greencastle Saturday
night and at once deposite in q vault.
When the news OF its arrival spread over
the city. hundreds of people went to the
cemetery Sunday and for several hours
there was a large crowd around the door
of the vault gazing at the casket through
the iron gratings of the door. In the
forenoon Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, father aud
mother Of the murdered girl and her Sis
tiers and brothers. visited the cemetery
and entered the vault. Mrs. Bryan was
so overcome by the sad spectacle of the
headless trunk of her daughter that she
swooned in the vault and the father was
nearly overcome in similar manner.
While the relatives were in the vault
there was a meeting Of the young and
middle aged men of the city some dis
lance away, and it was said later that
some twenty-five or thirty of these
pledged themselves to each other to
avenge the girls death If the murderers
were not hanged by the law.
The organization thus formed is said to
be regarded as the nucleus of a larger
one which will take the law into its own
hands if Jackson and WaIling escape the
extreme penalty in the Cincinnati courts.
