ASCENSION RODRIGUEZ SHOT.
A Leader in the Uprising Executed

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. pa Re-
corder special from San Antonio, Texas,
says: Another battle has occurred be-
tween the large band of Mexican outlaw
fanatics and force of Mexican soldiers,
who attacked the revolutionists in the
Pequas Canyon, Chihuahua, Mexico, Just
across the Rio Grande from Preside
County, Texas. Three bandits and one
soldier were killed. The bandits were put
to flight.

peared from Texas border counties, and

The bandits pretend to be revolution

directed against the Mexican Government.
They claim to belong to the same army as
the band of fanatics which recently at

this side of the Rio Grande.
Nearly 1000 Mexican troops are on their
way from Chihuahua and other points in
that State to the scene of the trouble.
Sheriff Dan knight of Presidio County is
there and the latest advices from him say:
II have crossed the river from Ojinaga.
The officers have iust received word that
they will be attacked this evening. Fifty
armed men left Gjinaga to meet the
fanatics, twenty miles from here. There
are fifty or sixty of them, but the officers
at Oiinaga think there are more hiding in
the mountains. Two days ago the soldiers
made a raid on the fanatics and they
crossed to this side.

officers ask for protection from this side.

they are overpowered. / think Captain
Hughes should come at once, with all the
help he can bring. 1 have telegraphed
him to do so.
I'VE expect every moment to hear of a
fight on the other side. People at Ojinaga
are excited, as they think the town will
probably be destroyed when the outlaws
cross to this side, so they can't get at
them. The telegraph wires were cut again

She Raves in Despair When
Restoratives Check Her
Celestial Flight.
SOON RELAPsEs INTO sTUPoR.
Peculiar Condition of a Woman Who,
by S ight Chance, Escaped
Burial Alive.

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 23-Mrs. Mary
S. Albertson, who by the slightest chance
escaped being inhumed alive in this citv
several weeks ago, is again undergoing a
living death, attended by circumstances
SO remarkable that physicians and scien-
lists are completely nonplused. Mrs.
Albertson was believed to have died of
typhoid fever on the morning of July q.
and two days later preparations were made
for her interment. Frank Thurman, an
old hospital nurse and a friend of the
woman, believing that he detected some
spark of life in the remains, almost got
into several personal alterations because
of his refusal to permit the burial until
more certain evidences of death had mani
tested themselves. The old nurses pre-
nises were correct, for with the aid of a
galvanic battery and other restoratives
the seemingly dead woman was brought
to life on the morning of August 4. Dur
ing all the time that she was laid out for
burial she was cognizant of what was pass
ing about her, yet unable to articulate
sound or move muscle.
Mrs. Albertson had sufficiently recov.
cred on August 10 to visit friends near
Grants Pass, and on the evening of her
departure from Portland she seemed in
excellent health. But now she is once
more in cataleptic state.
Thurman to-day received a letter from
B. S. Blochmeier, whose family Mrs. Al
bertson is visiting, announcing that she
became very ill two days after her arrival
there and on the third day she was dead,
to all appearances. But for her narrow
escape from being buried alive here, she
would have suffered the most horrible
fate conceivable by the human mind.
The galvanic battery was again applied,
but it proved useless until noon on Tues
day. Then the cataleptic trance gradually
released its hold on the patient and at
o'clock she asked for a drink of water.
She, however, failed to realize where she
was and complained bitterly at being re-
moved from the society of her parents
(both dead), with whom she was having a
delightful visit.
In this instance she had been abso-
lutely unconscious of passing events and,
as the theosophists have it, her astral
body had been wandering about in ceIes-
tial realms. 1t was almost impossible to
convince her that she had for several days
been in a death-like trance.
For several hours she raved like one
demented for having been brought back
to earth. At 9 o'clock that night she
grew more lucid and able to grasp her
phenomenal condition. When bright
enough to realize her second frlghtfuI
escape she went into commissions and at
midnight was again in trance The
letter adds that since then, up to Friday
evening, Mrs. Albertson's reason has but
once been restored by means of the GAL
vanic battery.
A remarkable feature in connection with
this case is that while in the trance Mrs.
Albertson's respiration and pulsations are
absolutely imperce ptible. Her medical
atte ndant says her life hangs on a frail
thread and death is likely to ensue at any
moment.

Charges of Treachery on the
Part Of the Engineers
Denied.
TART TALK AT TERRE HAUTE.
Members of the Various Orders Ad.
vised to Do as They Please
Politically.

TERRE HAUTE, IND, Aug. 23.-The
union meeting of the railroad brother
hoods to-day was made sensational by
reason of the fact that the local trades
unions declined the invitation to attend
and did so in such terms as caused Chief
Arthur of the engineers and Grand Master
Sargent of the frem men to make bitter re-
plies to the assaults on the old brother
hoods. 1t was known that Eugene v
Debs, president of the American Railway
Union, is the admired labor leader here at
his home, and what Arthur and Sargent,
especially the former, said to-day is ac-
cepted as replies to the statement often
made by Debs, that the old class organiza-
tions had passed the day of their useful
ness.
There were four or five hundred railroad
men present, many accompanied by
women members OF their families. The
Terre Haute trade union men were not
represented by as many as dozen. Sar-
gent showed mis- feeling in the intense way
in which he defended his organization
from the implication that it had not been
fraternal in its relations with trade un-
ions; that it is an aristocratic labor organ
ization. The Central Labor Union had
said in the resolution that the brother
hoods had held aloof from the labor or
ganiza tions and that Chief Arthur had
said the engineers organization is not
labor union. Sargent said the Firemen's
Brother hood takes no exception to the
vie ws of others in regard to labor, but it
will not permit to go unchalienged the as
sertion that it is dying and in disgrace.
1t remains in Terre Haute, by it's lodge,
composed of good citizens, and it is going
to remain here. Referring to the political
issues of the year, he said the men should
discuss the issues among themselves,
without regard to party. They must not
wait until some one in authority over them
told them how to vote. In the lodgeroom
they should strip themselves of the in
fuence of party or clique or corporation.
When they do this the day of saliva ton
for the wage-earner will be here.
Chief Arthur followed Sargent, begin
ming with the assertion that he was there
to defend the engineers. He had seen the
statement that he had said the brother
hood is not labor organization, and he
wanted to brand it as wicked falsehood.
He has always said it was labor organ
ization, composed of men representing a
branch of labor he considered to be skilled
labor. 1t is true it is confined to one class
of labor. If all classes of labor were thor
oughly organized IN their respective

Prospects of n Large Attendance at tn
Indianapolis Contention.

Prospects of a Large attendance at tho
IpdiGnapOIis Convention.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Aug. 23.-Sound
Money Democrats from throughout the
country who drop into the headquarters
of the National Democracy here to look
over the ground and size up the prospects
for the convention declare that the move
ment is gathering strength beyond their
expectations, and is developing a force
they little hoped for when they launched
it.
1t is generally understood among the
mem bers of the National Committee that
the New York delegation shall be permitted
to name the temporary chairman of the
convention, and it is the supposition that
it will select Bourke Cochran, though this
can hardly be determined until the dele
cation arrives on the ground the next day
after the members are elected. For per-
manent chairman there has been
much talk of Senator Villas of
Wisconsin, but during the last
few days Villas has loomed up in large
proportions as possibility for the Presi
dental nomination. and if this seems
proba bic when the convention meets the
permanent chairman will probably be
taken from the South. There is much
talk of Senator Caffery of Louisiana and
Ex-Governor Jones of Alabama for the
position.
The correspondence of the executive
committee indicating large attendance
upon the convention is borne out by the
hotel engagements that have been pouring
in since Friday night. Among the prom
inent Democrats from various States who
have engaged quarters for the convention
are: Ex-Governor Roswell P. Flower,
John R. Fellows OF New York. Senator
Villas and General E s. Bragg of Wiscon-
sin, Governor Walter. Joel A. Sperry and
David A. Wells of Connecticut, W. P. c.
Breckenridge and W. H. HaIdeman of
Kentucky, J. r. Cultivate of Ohio, GEN
eral Palmer, Controller Eckels and John
?. Hopkins of Illinois, ex-Secretary Fair
child of New York, Senator Caffery of
Louisiana. Ex-Governor Jones of Alabama.
Governor Whyte and Congressman Rayner
OF Mary land, Secretary Morton of Ne
braska and Senator Gray of Delaware.

LETTERS OF AcoEPrANoE.

mckinley and Hobart WfIL Declare
Themselves This Herk.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 23.-The Sun
tomorrow will say: 1t is stated on the
best authority that the letter of the Hon.
William Mckinley, accepting the nomina-
ton OF the Republican party for the Pres
idency, will be made public this week.
The candidate will break the record in
sending in his letter thus early. as it has
been usually well into September before
the candidates for the Presidency have
published their formal acceptance. Mr..
Hanna and the other campaign managers
however, have recognized this as an ex-
ceptional year.
The campaign is further advanced than
it has ever been before in a Presidential
year since the organization of the Repub-
ican party, and it was concluded that il
would be we'll that the candidates should
get out their letters and declare them
selves in unmistakable terms on the
chief issues as soon as possible. Vice
Presidential Candidate Hobart has onIv
been awaiting tie action of the head ofthe
ticket, and his letter will be maoe public
Immediately following that of Major Nc

MeK1N1EY,S HARD YORK.

Has Made Fifty Campaign Speeches and
viii Make Many More.
CANTON, OHIO, Aug. 23.-After a week
of uncommonly hard work Major McKfn-
ley enjoyed a day of absolute rest. The
weather was inelemens in the morning
and he remained al home. In the after
noon he took Mrs. Mckinley out for a
drive.
Charles G. Dawes, member of the Ma
tionaI Executive Committee, and Major
Charles S. Dick who is also an importan {
factor in the Western headquarters, came
to Canton to-day to consult with Major
Mckinley. They had long talk over the
situation in the West, which seems to
present many more difficulties than that
in the Eastern States.
Major Mckinley expects to be very busy
this coming week. He will make two
speeches on Monday, one to a delegation
of farmers from Knox County, Ohio, and
the other to a number of potters and
other citizens of East Liverpool.
There have been great many farmers
in several of the delegations which have
come to Canton, but there has been no
delegation composed exclusively of farm
ers, and the one coming tomorrow will be
the first of that description. The farmers
have not come in large delegations. for
the reason that they have been very busy
since the nomination of Mckinley with
their harvests. During the months of Sep
tenber and October large number of
agriculturists will call. Upward of a
thousand are coming on excursions and q
good many letters have been received here
from farming communities indicating
that the desire to see Major Mckinley is
steadily growing
The demand for Republican political
literature is widespread, insistent and
earnest. Not only are all committee
headquarters burdened with requests for
docum ents, but Major McKinley's mail
contains daily score of letters of similar
purport. These letters are referred to
the State or National Committees and the
writer's would save time by so addressing
them in the first place.
Between the first of this week and the
third day of November Major Mckinley
expects to make a great many speeches,
probably not fewer than fifty. He has al
ready made half q hundred since his
nomination and they have been collected
and printed in a neat pamphlet, which is
ready for distribution here tomorrow
There will be another edition of his
speeches about October 1.
The demand for them is so great, not
withstanding the fact that they are all
published in the newspapers, that it has
been found nece ssary TO print them in
book form. Major Mckinley still insists
that he will take no holiday during the cam
paign, but he has promised to go to Zoar,
about eighteen miles from Canton, where
he hopes to remain two or three days
He will also make a few very brief visits
to Cleveland during the campaign. All
the rest of the time he will spend in
Canton.

UNIVERSAL -SEAMEN'S STRIKE.
A Demand for Better Wages and Conditions
That win Extend Throughout the
World

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 23.-It is re-
ported here that preparations are being
made for a longshoremen's and seamen's 8
strike all over the world.
Andrew Furuseth of San Francisco, Sec
retary of the Pacific Coast Seamen's
Union; E. T. Elderkin, secretary of the
National Seamen's Union, and H. e. Bar
ter, secretary of the International Long
shoremen's Union, have been correspond
ing with seamen of different countries
about arranging for a universal strike.
They believe that strike of seamen and
longshoremen to be successful should be
universal. The leaders here have been
corresponding with seamen's unions in
England, France, Austria. Germany, Italy
and Portugal.
One of the leaders of the Atlantic Coast
Seamen's Union said yesterday that the
big dock strikes in England were only a
prelude to bigger strikes, and the time was
nearly ripe for strike of seamen and
longshoremen everywhere.
Conferences were being held in Great
Britain and other shipping centers, and
there was general feeling that a great
struggle was near.
The demands are for better wages and
conditions, and for guarantees that sea-
men will be protected against the tyranny
OF unjust captains and shipping masters.

MACON, GA, Aug. 23.-A sensation was
caused in the leading Methodist church of
this city tonight by a difficulty between
Rev. Alonzo Monk, pastor of the church,
and Tilden Adamson, reporter of the
Daily Telegraph. Adamson reported the
reverend gentleman's s sermon last Sunday,
which was pronounced by the pastor 10 De

At to-night's service the Rev. Monk was
particularly severe on the reporter and
reflected on him in such a manner as TO
cause Adamson to resent it at the end of
the sermon. Going TO the pulpit the
young man demanded an explanation of
of the doctors remarks. An exchange of
words angefed both gentlemen, whereupon
they grapped each other.
Deacons of the church rushed forward
and an exciting exchange of blows be-

NEW YORK. N. Y, Aug. GA special
to the Herald from Frederick, Md, says:
A runaway trolley-car carrying more than
100 passengers dashed down the Catoctin

about mile, Motorman Mutz tried to
stop, but found that while the brake
worked on the front wheels, he could not
control those in the rear. The passengers
became panic-striken. and the car shot on
until about two and half miles down the
mountain, when it jumped a curve.
