Miss Eva Booth Tries Hard.

CHICAGO, April Miss Eva
Booth, who rushed back to Chica-
go, to stem the tide OF desertion
started by Brig. Gen. Fielding, was
busy all day in consultation with
members of the old army. She
hoped to meet the brigadier and
make an effort to draw him back
to his old allegiance, but at Vol
unteer headquarters it was as
serted he would remain out
of the city until tonight,
returning only in time for the
auditorium meeting at which he is
expected to speak. Miss Booth
protested last night to be much en-
couraged by the experience Of the
day. She admitted that the de-
lection of Brig. Fielding was a
severe blow, because he was a
valuable and influential officer,
but she said she had found the
rank and file loyal to the old or
ganization. She was in doubt as to
the propriety of holding meetings
and the length Of her stay is I'M
certain, though it is likely she will
leave Saturday. Maj. Evans will
try to pursuade Brig. Fielding to
return to the army and will re-
main until he can have q confer
ence with his old friend. Mr.. and
Mrs. Booth-Tucker will address a
big meeting Saturday and WILLARD
hall has been offered Mrs. Booth
Tucker for meeting, the officers
Of the w. @. T. U. explaining that
they wished to show no favoritism.

Not Exactly Enoch Arden

New YORK, April IA special
to the World from New Haven,
Conn, says: Ellis Bancroft and
Buel Seymour were married in
Granville, Mass, in 1865, after a
long courtship and moved to West
ern Illinois. Then the husband
thought that he would try his for
tunes further west and started on
alone. He and his wife wrote let
tiers, but neither received them.
After several years Mrs. Seymour
concluded her husband was dead
and came back to Rockville, where
she opened restaurant. and later
was married to c. G. Maher. They
lived together until 1898, when
Maher eloped with a waitress en-
ployed in his wife's restaurant.
She brought suit and was granted
a divorce in December last. A few
weeks ago Mrs. Seymour learned
that Seymour was alive, and a cor
respondence was opened. Seymour
came to Rockville and the couple
are to be married again soon.

Will Tell Of the Murder,

MARQUETTE, Mich, April T.
Six years ago Charles Chauvin, a
hermit living near Detroit, was
found dead in his cabin with
hole through his body evidently
made by shot gun. He had
lived a hermit's life for many
years but had once been reputed to
have accumulated an immense
sum Of money which was believed
to be concealed about his home, as
he distrusted banks. There was
no clue to the murderer.
Detective Max Aller was de-
tailed on the case and after nearly
six years work he unearthed a clue
which pointed to a conspiracy, with
Frank Lieski as one OF the conspira-
tors. Lieski is now serving a fifteen
year term in the Marquette branch
prison for highway robbery. The
detective arrived last Thursday
and for five days vainly endeavored
to secure a statement from Lieski.
Last night the convict weakened
and promised full particulars if
guaranteed immunity from punish
ment for the crime. He said he
took part in this plot but did not
do the killing. His confederate
fred the charge into Chauvin's
body. Covering the body with
blanket the murderers took what
spoils they could find and hurried
away.
Detective Aller will go to De-
troit to confer with the officials
about the immunity which is the
condition Of Lieskis promised
revelations.

That North Pole Oanard,

NEW YORK, April IA special
to the Herald from st. Petersburg
says: At least the true origin Of
the story about DIR. Nansen's dis
covery of the pole has been told.
The story came from Tomsk
through the merchant Kusch-
nareff, who is the uncle of Kan
dakoff, the originator of the news.
His statement is that his nephew
did nothing more than transmit
the report. 1t appears that in the
New Siberian islands there have
been three parties in search of
mammoth bones. One of these
parties returned some time ago
and said they had seen a ship in
the neighborhood of the islands
with Norwegians on board. They
did not attempt any communica-
ton with the ship nor did they
even watch it. Kandakoff, to
whom the mammoth bone hunters
brought the news, thought it
might relate to Nansen, and wrote
thus to Irkutsk, whence it was sent
out to the world. In the same
region there are still two parties
Of hunters, who will return in No
vember and may bring some news.

MISSIONARY EXPELLED,
AMERICAN MINISTER KNAPP THE
FIRST ONE BOUNCED.
But He Will be Followed by Eng
Hsh and French Divines in a
Very Short Time.

CONsTANTINoPIE, April L.
Copyrighted 1896 by the Associated
Press.-Advices from Diarbekir in
dictate beyond reasonable doubt
that Rev. George G. Knapp, one Of
the American missionaries at Bit
lis, is confined at Diarbekir, in
Turkish Armenia, and that he is to
be sent to AleXandrette, seaport
on the bay Of Iskanderun, at the
east end of the Mediterranean sea.
There he will be either shipped out
of the country or delivered to rep
resentatives Of the United States.
At the first intimation Of trouble
United States charge ID affaires,
after communicating with the
porte and receiving an unsatis-
factory reply, cabled Washington
for further instructions and 1t is
now said the United States
squadron in the Mediterranean,
consisting of the flagship Min
nearolis, commanded by Admiral
Selfridge, and the cruiser Marble
head, will 60 to the gulf Of Iskan-
derun, and at the same time a
formal protest against such treat
ment of:American missionaries will
be made to the porte, coupled with
a demand for adequate indemnity
for the damage recently done to
the property Of Americans.
The imprisonment and proposed
expulsion of Rev. Knapp is under
stood to be but preliminary to
the expulsion of all Christian mis-
sionaries, mostly Americans, Eng
lish and French, from Asiatic Tur-
ky aud possibly from European
Turkey.
Beside it is rumored that agents
OF the American Red Cross society
will also be expelled from that
part OF the empire. In support Of
this report 1t is stated that an i'm
perial trade, providing for the ex-
pulsion from Turkey of christian
missionaries and agents OF Red
Cross society has already been
signed by the sultan, although it
has not yet been issued from the
palace.

Zelaya Still Fighting Rebels.

NEW YORK, April IA special
to the Herald from Panama says :
After a truce of - days during
which all attempts to arrange
terms of peace between President
Zelaya and the leaders Of the in
surgents have been futile, another
battle has been fought between
the government forces and the re-
bells at La Cecilia.
The Herald's correspondent at
Managua telegraphs that the num-
Der OF men engaged at La Cecilia,
which is five leagues from the
capital OF Nicaragua was about
five hundred on either side. The
action lasted Is hours and the de-
tails are so meager that it Is i'm.
possible to ascertain with which
side victory rests. The prisoners
and deserters who have reached
the capital declare that the insur-
gents situation is desperate. The
government is preparing for gen.
eral attack and Zelaya's intention,
it is said, Is to concentrate all the
troops that were operating in the
northern part Of the country,
around Notomenbo, and then
make a general attack on the
enemy's position. Meanwhile he
will have the Honduras troops
now occupying Chinandoga move
toward Leon. The health and
spirits of the soldiers are excellent
despite the insufficiency Of the ra-
tions issued.

Major Jacoby has handed to King
Humbert copy of the crushing
revelations respecting the condi-

UNIVERSITY CREW OAPsIzED.
One Man Drowned, Two Others Crit
cally Frustrated.

MADISON, Wis, April while
at practice last evening a mile out
on Lake Mendoza, a squall struck
two shells manned by oarsmen OF
the University Of Wisconsin crew.
One man was drowned and two
others are in critical condition.
The dead: John Day, GAINESVILLE,
Wis, the only son OF Mrs. Jeanette
Day. The injured: Lester Street,
Dixon, ILL.,, and Currens McCon.
vile, La Crosse, Wis.
The boats started out for short
working trip for the men. AT the
time the weather did not seem
squally and the lake was fairly
calm. Within a few minutes after
the boat left the shore, however,
the wind began to rise, and just as
one Of the boats was making the
turn it was struck by a sudden
squall. In this boat were p. j.
Odea, the assistant trainer, Day
and McConville. Water began to
roll over the stern OF the boat and
before the man proceed far 1t was
swamped. The men succeeded in
turning it over, and in getting on
top of the shell. They were soon
washed of by the waters. Day,
who could not swim, failed to re-
gain his hold and was drowned.
The other boat, with Teainer, An
drew, Odea and Street, was some
distance away when the first boat
settled, and Immediately turned to
go to the rescue. The waves were
too high for it also, and it was
soon swamped. Meanwhile men
came from shore and picked
up the occupants Of the first boat
but they failed to see that the
second boat was also in trouble and
the latter's oarsmen were not res
cued until later, the surviving &C.
cupants of the first boat having
been in the icy water about Is
minutes and those OF the second 50
minutes. Day had records which
numbered him among the best ten
all around athletes in America. He
was considered one Of the best men
in the team. Street and McCon-
Vile are also good oarsmen, but
they probably will not be able to
row again this year, both being in
a precarious condition on account
of their terrible suffering in the
cold water. 1t Is now thought
the crew cannot be kept together
and the freshmen race which was
to come off May Is, twill be indefi-
nitely postponed. Besides being
good athlete, Day was remarkable
student and was to have taken
part in the university oratorical
contest this week.
Andrew Odea, trainer OF the
crew, is a we'll known Australian
oarsman, and p. j. Odea, his
brother is also we'll known. They
too are in a terrible condition from
their experience. All the men ex-
cept Street became unconscious
soon after they were picked up,and
while they are conscious now, they
say that il aid had not reached
them promptly they would all
have been drowned as they declare
no man could live an hour in Lake
Mendoza in its present icy condi-
ton. Days body was recovered at
a late hour last night.

CHURCH BEFORE POLITICS.
Mormon Church Deliverance on the Ques-
ton Of Church and State.


SALT LAKE, Utah, April The
Deseret News publishes a three
column address TO to the officers
and members OF the church of
Jesus Christ OF Latter Day Saints,
In conference assembled. The ad-
dress is on the subject of church
and state and is signed by MILFORD
Woodruff, George Q. Cannon and
Joseph III. Smith, OF the first presi-
dency; John Smith, patriarch,
eleven of the twelve apostles, seven
members Of the first council of the
seventies and three presiding
bishops, composing all the high
officials of the Mormon church.
The address says that during the
late political excitement the pre-
siding authorities were in some
cases misunderstood and in others
misrepresented. Continuing the
address says in part:
"We wish to state in the most
positive language that at no time
has there been an attempt or even
a desire to encroach on the rights
Of the state. There has not been,
nor is there, the slightest desire on
our part Of anything looking to-
wards q union Of church and
state.
SIN view Of occurrences to which
reference has been made, we feel 1t
our duty to clearly define our posi-
ton so there may be no cause here
after for dispute.
ave unanimously agree to pro-
mitigate, as a rule that should be
always observed in the church and
by every leading official thereof,
that before accepting any position,
political or otherwise, which would
interfere with the proper and COM
plete discharge OF his ecclesiastic
duties and before accepting a NOM
nation or entering into engage
ments to perform new duties, said
official should apply to the proper
authorities and learn from them
whether he can consistently, with
obligations already entered into
with the church on assuming his
office, take upon himself the ad-
ded duties and labors and respon-
sibilities of the new position to
maintain proper discipline and or
der in the church, we deem this
absolutely necessary, and in ASSERT
ing this rule we do not consider
that we are infringing in the least
degree upon the individual rights
of citizens.
"We declare that in making
these requirements of ourselves
and other brethren in the ministry
we do not in the least desire to die
tate to them their duties as Amer
lean citizens or to interfere with
the affairs of the state"
A significant feature Of the state
ment is that it does not show the
name OF Moses Thatcher, one Of
the apostles. Last year Thatcher
accepted the nomination for United
States senator on the democratic
ticket without the consent Of the
church authorities and strongly
maintained the view that the
church had no authority over his
personal actions regarding politics,

ing the twelve. No reason for this
is given, but an address signed by
all church authorities Is made pub

ton which explained the omission.
