MRS. RUNYON FRUSTRATED AND
CAN'T BEAR THE STRAIN.
Elaborate Funeral Ceremony First
Planned Has Been Abandoned-Death
of Ambassador Mourned.

Berlin, Jan. 2S.-Mrs. Runyon is
Frustrated with grief over the sudden
death of her husband, the United
States ambassador, and as she will be
unable to bear the strain of an elab-
crate funeral ceremony, for which ar

gram has been changed, and the

at noon there will be memorial services
in st. Georges chapel, upon which oc-
casion Emperor William will be pres
ent.
The newspapers pay high tribute to
the worth and ability of the late am
bassador and the whole diplomatic
corps and hundreds Of public officials
and practically all members of the
American colony have called on the
embassyoto express sympathy with the
Runyon lfamil.-- for the loss they have
sustained.

Madison. January q

MdulSOu, JANUARY 20.
The Wisconsin state board of immi-
grafton met in the secretary of states
office in the capitol Friday. The
board includes Gov. Upham, Secre-
tary of State Casson, George w. Bish-
op, secretary, RhineIander; H. L. Bes-
Sc, Butternut; James j. Nelson, Am
herst; Ole Larson, Osceola. All were
present except the governor. l.. c..
Peterson was appointed special for
eign agent of the board at Copen-
hagen. 1t was decided to make an
effort to induce railroads IN the state
as well as connecting lines to offer re-
duced rates to homeseekers. 1t is I'M
derstood that the board already has
assurances that the western passenger
association will give excursion rates.
The board will attend the convention
ut Eau Claire to be held soon, for the
purpose of encouraging immigration.
An effort will be made to have a num-
Der of lntercounty conventions similar
to the one to be held there. This will
create a beneficial competition among
the counties and give a healthy slim
ulous to immigration.

Philadelphia, Jan. 26.-The Press
says:
1T is stated here, from what is con-
siderd an authoritative source, that Gen
eral Garcia, the most distinguished
Cuban general now outside of Cuba
sailed from this port Thursday on
board the fruit steamer Bernard,
bound for Cuba, and will land there
with the most formidable expedition
that ever left this country.
1T is said he will take command of
an expedition on the high seas, where
he will meet the fruit steamer Jasof,
with over 300 men and a large guam
tity of arms and ammunition on board.
The Jasof is expected to reach a point
off the Florida coast today, where. the
transfer of the entire expedition to
another steamer will be made. The
destination of the expedition is near
the boundary line of the province of
Pinar del Rio. General Gomez has
been kept thoroughly informed of the
movements OF the expedition"

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The Spanish
minister has informed the state depart
ment that last Friday night the
steamer J. w. Hawkins left New York
with an expedition of $50 men. arms
and ammunition and stores, in COM
mand of CaliXto Garcia; that she may
go south and take more men and arms
at Palm Beach, Fla, or elsewhere;
that she will pass into United States
waters near Key West; that the arms
and ammunition confiscated at Cedar
Keys, Fla, are ready to be embarked
on a schooner to join the Garcia ex-
petition at sea, and that the steamer
Commodore at Wilmington, n. c., still
in port is in 1.-The conspiracy"
The secretary of the treasury has
telegraphed this statement to all col
lectors of customs along the south At
lantic coast with instructions to con-
suit United States attorneys and take
whatever action may be found neces-
sary to prevent any violation of inter
national law. Capt. Shoemaker of the
revenue cutter service will also give
the necessary instructions to COM
manders of revenue cutters and every
precaution will be taken to intercept
the Hawkins.

CLARA BARTON LET IN.
Sultan Agrees to Permit Distribution
of Relief.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Owing to the
energetic representations of United
States Minister Terrell, Miss Barton
and her party, it is said, will be per-
mitted by the Turkish government to
distribute relief to the distressed Ar
menians, although the Red Cross will
not figure in the work. This news
came to the state department yester-
day in a cablegram from the minister
to Secretary Olney, in which he says
that while the porte refuses such per-
mission to the Red Cross, or to the
members of the Red Cross as such,
and thereby declines to officially rec
ognize that society, it will permit any
person whom the minister names and
approves to distribute relief in the in
terror of Turkey, provided the Turkish
authorities are kept informed of what
they are doing.
There can be no question that Miss
Barton and her party will be so desig-
mated by Mr.. Terrell. But it is appre-
hended that they will encounter almost
insurmountable obstacles in reaching
the field of action, as the mountain
passes between the seabOard and the
interior are now practically impass-
able, owing to the deep SHOWS.

MANY MINERS KILLED.
Explosion in a Colliery Near Cardiff.
Wales.

Cardiff, Wales, Jan. 2S.-A terrible
explosion took place in a colliery at
Taylor's town, near this place The
shafts were shattered and the whole
town was shaken by the tremendous
conclusion, causing a scene of wild
excitement. Fifty-four miners were
below the surface when the explosion
took place, and although several of
them have reached the surface with
the dead body of one of their compan-
ions, it is supposed that nearly all the
remainder were killed. Rescue parties
have been hurried to the scene, but
their work is very dangerous, owing to
the fact that the pit is on fire.
Later advices are to the effect that
twelve bodies have been recovered
from the colliery and that twelve men
are still missing.
The latest accounts state that over
twenty bodies have been recovered
from the mine. The number of deal
is placed at ffty-four. The survivors
tell terrible story of the scenes wit
messed and dead bodies they found Or
stumbled over.

RUTH'S LAMENT.
Wishes Her Pa was a Policeman In
stead of President.

Washington, Jan. 28.-Little Ruth
Cleveland is now years of age, and
she begins to understand the distinc-
ton she enjoys as a daughter of the
president. Childhood's estimate of
greatness was charmingly illustrated
by Ruth yesterday.
One of the policemen whose duty it
is to guard the private portion of the
grounds in the rear of the white house
is stalWart specimen of manhood. He
is habitually careful as to his attire,
and his buttons always shine with a
brilliant lustre. Sunday this police
man took his little 6-year-old daughter
with him that she might enjoy the
welIguarded flowers and the clean
walks Of the private grounds during
his two hours of duty. While the
policeman was pointing out the beauty
of the grounds to his daughter Misses
Ruth and Esther under the escort of
their respective nurses, left the man
sion for a healthful run in the fresh
air. Ruth ran ahead of her nurse,
and upon discovering a girl of her own
age strutted up and surveyed her from
head to foot. After looking the little
girl over Ruth Strengthened herself up
With an air of importance and said:
My papa is president; who is your
papa?"
The policeman's daughter defiantly
replied: MY papa is policeman
Ruth glanced up at the burly form
ornamented with bright brass buttons,
and hanging her head in an abashed
manner replied:
Il wish my papa was a policeman -

M'KINLEYS FENCES
THEY ARE BEING BRACED UP IN
OHIO.
A MYSTERIOUS GATHERING
Well Known Politicians Drop Into
Cleveland and Have a Conference
Foraker and Mckinley Men Meet
and Fix up Slate to Avoid Flu
ture Friction

Cleveland. Jan. 28.-There has been
a mysterious gathering of politicians
here. Early yesterday morning Charles
L. Kurtz, chairman of the republican
state committee, dropped into town.
He was soon followed by Col. Conger,
both Well-knoWn friends Of Senator
elect Foraker, and it was at once
pose. Kurtz fitted around most all
day, seeing several leading republic
ans. He spent some time in the Office
Of NJ. A. Hanna, who is recognized as
the closest friend of Mckinley The
conference lasted for more than an
hour.
Last night Kurtz was in conference
with Col. Myron T. Herrick, also one
of McKinley's supporters. When
asked the purpose of his visit Mr..
KurtZ declined to go into details 1t
is learned from another source, how
ever, that his talk with Hanna was of
a political nature; that, in fact, the
makeup of the delegation at large
from Ohio to the st. Louis convention
was considered. The choice of dele
gates in various districts was also dis
cussed. 1T was proposed said this
gentleman, ''and practically settled SO
far as the preliminary conference can
settle it, that Hanna and James H.
Hoyt, of this city, and Senator-elect
Foraker, and General Bushnell will be
the delegates at large. There is no
doubt but Ohio will be united for Nc
Kinley, and the purpose now is to
provide against any future friction
and conflicts between the two ele-
ments of the republican party in the
state"

QUITS BOSTON?
Sullivan Said to Be Backed by a Mil

Milwaukee, Jal. 2S-A Boston dis
patch says: John L. Sullivan has
decided to quit Boston and the stage

All Milwaukee brewers deny having
made such deal From one Office in

it was the Pabst Brewing company
that would give Sullivan a start, but
the Pabst company said that it was
not engaged i'll such business. The
Schlitz and Blatz companies stated
that such a deal would some within
the province of their Chicago agents
