prayer in Hawarden church, Most Rev.
Edward White Benson, ID. D., arch
bishop of Canterbury, primate of all
England, and metropolitan, was seized
with apopleSy, from which he died a
few minutes afterward. Rev. stephen
Gladstone rector of Hawarden church,
was reading the absolution when he
noticed twitching of the arm of the
archbishop, who was lSneeling in
prayer. The rector was somewhat
alarmed and stopped in his reading
just as the great churchman collapsed
and fell on the floor. The congrega-
ton was on its feet in a moment and
the greatest excitement prevailed,
several women fainting in the pews.
The rector, with remarkable self
command. held ont his arms to the
people and implored them to remain
quiet until the extent of the arch
bishop indisposition could be learned.
The unconscious churchman was
carried into the library, where he
died in a few minutes.

COLORADO BANK ROBBERY.

MEEKER, Colo, Oct. 15.--Thrce mcn
entered the Bank of Meeker, which is
connected with the store room of j. w,
Hughes e. Co., who own the bank.
Two Of the men held the store
employees at bay, while the third went
to the bank cashiers window. and,
firing one shot, ordered the cashier to
throw up his hands. The order was
not quickly obeyed and the robber
fred again, whereupon the cashiers
hands went up. The manager Of the
store was then forced to open the
bank door, and after gathering up all
the money in sight, the robbers
marched the bank and store employees
into the street with hands uplifted.
They then ruahed out Of the back way
with their booty. Citizens attracted
by the shots had pretty well sur
rounded the building by this time,
and being armed, opened fire on the
robbers, two of whom, Chas. Jones
and William Smith, were killed by the
first volley. The third man, George
Harris, was shot through the lungs,
dying in two hours. He is fully
identified, and gave the others names,
which are believed to be fictitious.
-Four citizens were shot, none Of the m
fatally. The coroner's jury returned
a verdict of iustifable homicide.

Declines to Interfere With Turkey Unless
England Opens the Bosphorus.
LONDON Oct. IL. AS matters stand,
peace is assured SO far as the Turkish
question is concerned Nothing has
occurred in connection with the car
visit to England or France which is
likely to modify the policy of Russia.
She will do nothing for Armenia until
England consents to the opening Of
the Bosphorus to the worlds war
ships and trading vessels and to the
preservation of the sultans nominal
sovereignty. This is the present pol
icy of Russia, whatever she may have
sought in the past. Lord Salisbury is
striving steadily for an entente with
Russia. and he has the support of
Lord Roscbcry i'll the effort. Rose
bery's speech at Edinburgh in cxpla-
nation of the external causes that led
him to resign the liberal leadership
reflects the matured second thought of
many liberals, who We're carried away
at first by the magnetic charm of Mr..
Gladstoncs appeal to the humanity of
Europe. The feeling here is that in a
matter which is in no particular II
party matter, Lord Rosebery will
stand by the government. He told
the Edinburgh audience that lie
would fight tooth and nail the
proposition which is Mr.. Gladstone $
proposal that England take isolated
action. He predicted, moreover, the
early agreement of the powers most
Interested. This statement is believed
to have been based upon Lord
Salisbury's reported success in per-
suading the czar when at Balmoral to
consider "a scheme of Turkish govern
ment which would leave Abdul Hamid
on the throne, but secure to the
powers the nomination of his ministers
and collection of taxes, 1t is asserted
in usually well-informed official
quarters that the car raised fewer
objections to this than to any other
proposal tentatively offered by the
British premier.

Desperadoes Who Held Up the Sherburnc
Bank Lived in Iowa.
F-NIRMoST, Mimi, Oct. 15,The
climax of tho most sensational week
in southern Minnesota's history came
with the complete revelation of the
identity of the two desperadoes who
robbed the Sherburne bank and killed
three persons. The one killed near
Gilmore was j. Hans Kellihan, a boy of
but Is years. The man in Jail at Fair
mont is Lu Kellihan, brother Of the
dead bandit buried in the potter
field at Shcrbr,rnc. Lu Kcilihan is 20
years old and ut first refused to dis
close his identity, but later weakened
and told the whole story of the plan
to rob the banks at Heron Lakes,
st. james and Sherburne, the route of
the fight and other incidents. The
man in jail insists that his brother
was the leader and did all the shooting.
A telegram from Rock Rapids, Iowa,
says the Identification of the robbers
is correct. Their parents live there
and admit that the boys are their sons.

London dispatch: The dispatch of
British naval rein forcements to Zanzi-
bar has excited interest in the situa-
ton and is universally interpreted as
demonstration against Germany, as
the condition of affairs in Zanzibar
does not justify such measures. 1t is
admitted here that Germany has the
technical right to remove Khalid from
her consulate at Zanzibar, but the
method adopted and the growing of
the German press in connection with
the affair, openly declaring that the
measure was a slap for Great Britain,
has acted like q bellows to the anti
German fire burning in this country.
The Spectator urges the government
to arms in Zanzibar as an answer to
Germany's unfriendly act. 1t is
almost impossible to exaggerate the
feeling in Great Britain against Ger
many at the present moment, aroused
by offensive articles in the German
press. The Globe epitomizes the
general opinion of the British press in
the remark: s'If Great Britain is so
unfortunate as to incur the anger of
Germany, we have no doubt as to the
result.
