forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts

the knowledge, that so many forms CT

VERY SLOW ADVANCE.
Evidently in No Hurry to Force the Fighting
With DerNishes in the
.0oU1on

LONDON, Eng, April 25.-Lord Cromer,
the British diplomatic agent in Egypt,
has been summoned to London in order
to confer with Lord Salisbury; the Mar
quis OF Lansdowne. Secretary of State for
War; General Lord Wolseley. commander
1n-Chief of the British army; and General
Sir Redvers Butler, who will command the
operations in the Soudan.
Until the conferences determine the
exact proportions of the military opera
tlons in the autumn neither the Foreign
Office nor the War Office will take any
further measures for an advance in the
Soudan.
The expedition remains stationary at
Wady-Halfa and Akasheh. No press cor
respondents or other civilians are allowed
to go further south than Sarras. The
health of the troops is excellent, with the
exception OF mild enteric disorders.
The plant for the construction of rail-
way from Abu Fatmeh, liz miles south
ward to Akasheh sixty miles from Dom
COLA, will be sent out from London. There
is certain to be so me fighting before this
line is laid. The dervishes at Abu Fat
meh have been reinforced and are now
estimated to mum ber 800. Of these only
$500 are armed with rifles. They are COM
manded by the chief Emir, Mohammed

MALTREATEO BY A GANG
Shocking Experience of Pretty
Little Eta Bancroft, a
California Girl.
Enticed From the Home of Friends
Near Chicago and Kept in a Barn
for Two Days.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 25.-A morning
paper says: Eta Bancroft, the 13-year-
old daughter of j. d. Bancroft, who disap-
peared from the home of Mrs. J. II. E.
Procunier, at 126 South Oak Park avenue,
Oak Park, last Wednesday afternoon, was
found by the police yesterday afternoon in
barn in West Madison street. H.
MichaeIs, who owns grocery on the
corner of Western avenue and Mission
street, yesterday morning notified the po-
lice at the Warren-avenue station that he
had seen girl answering the description
of Eta Bancroft in company with two col
ored men. Michaels told the police he
saw the trio enter an alley on Western
avenue, between Warren avenue and Mad
ison street.
The girl refused to talk much when first
found, but intimated. that she had been en-
ticed away from her home. Later the Off
GERS arrested six men on suspicion of being
implicated in the matter-William Erick-
son (colored), alias ''YeIlow," David Lake,
William 81. Lewis, Richard Mullins, Rich
ard Shaffer (colored) and Consta Siska.
The police are looking for two more men
whom they also suspect of being plicated
in enticing the girl away.
According to the story told by the girl
she met young man known as "Fatty"
Lavigne while out for walk Thursday
afternoon, and he proposed to take her to a
circus. After the show was over they met
friend of FATTY y" known in the vicinity
as Bowman Dairy Dick" The latter took
her to the barn. She was kept there Thurs
day night. where the members of the gang
visited her.
"Bill' Lewis, who is peddler and occu-
pies the Lincoln dairy barn, was among
the first men arrested yesterday, and at
once confessed to the officers that the girl
had been kept in the barn and had been
assaulted by the gang. The people of Oak
Park are intensely excited over the affair.
as Eta Bancroft was one of the best known
and Drettiest girls in the town.

will be armed with fiower-decked bows
and arrows. The whist game will be
played by Messrs. Atwater and Towne of
Petaluma, opposed by Harris and Hah-
man of Santa Rosa.
At the coronation the Queen will wear
q gown of rich white satin, veiled en- tulle.
The corsage will be heart-shaped decol-
lete with manteau de la cour la Henri
" of white satin, with plisses of tulle,
and will have long sleeves with plisses OF
tuiIe falling to the tips of the royal fingers.
The skirt will be garlanded with pink
roses in front, with Watteau train.
The lady Of honor will be gowned hand
somely in a gold-colored organdle, en-
train, and high corsage The ladies IN
waiting Will all wear gowns of organdle

line Frear wearing pink, Misses Henrietta
Cautel and Kate Lewis yellow, Misses
Anna McLain and Lena Brush blue, Misses
Lille Hill and Sadie McMullen cream-col-
ored, and the Misses Docy Fairbanks and
Irena Wood gaslight green.
Miss Irma Wood is a daughter of Ben
S. Wood of this city and niece OF Senator
Seawell of Ukiah and District Attorney
Seawell of Santa Rosa. She is strikingly
handsome brunette, still in her teens, and
only to-day consented to attend the Queen.
At the floral ball the ten young ladies
in waiting will wear silk gowns of the
same coors as at the cornation, with
short trains and low corsage. The lady of
honor will wear gold-colored satin, en-
train.
The Queens ball dress is dream of
loveliness. which would tax the powers of
a court dressmaker to adequately describe.
Such a bewildering display of gold en-
broidery, silk, satin, Iaces and jewels must
be seen before any definite idea OF its sur
passing richness, beauty and good taste
can be appreciated. From the modiste in
charge the following description was OBJ
taine1: The gown itsely is of heavy white
b:ocaded silk. A court train of Erocaded
iris, lined with heavy white satin, is
ornamented on the inside by a
ruche of lisse, the end of the long train be-
ing thrown back ana caught with huge
bows of lisse and white ostrich plumes.
Square-cut corsage of ivory white satin,
draped with pearl and gold-embroidered
lisse, depending from Stuart collar, and
small sleeves of lisse complete the cos
tune.
AT meeting of the directors last night
G. o. Richards was appointed committee
of one to issue to all representatives of the
press cards of admission to the various en-
tertainments. President J. G. Sims has
donated the use of his elegant offices for
press headquarters, and visiting news
paper men will be royalty welcomed. A
case of wine from the Fountain Grove
Vineyard Company, and another from
George F. King, have already been donated
for the newspaper men, and the de Turk
winery will present two or three.

The Flames Spread So Rapidly
That the Firemen Were
Paralyzed.
WILD SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
Buildings Blown Up, Prisoners Turned
Loose-LosS From One to Two
Millions.

CRIPPLE CREEK, CoLo., April 25.-
The main portion of the business section
is in ashes tonight. Charred timbers and
crumbiing walls now mark the sites of
what were the best business blocks of the
town. One million dollars is considered
by some to be conservative estimate of
the damage, while others place the loss as
high as two millions. As nearly as can be
estimated at late hour tonight the in
surance will not exceed $3.50, 600.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon a fire broke
out in Carey's secondhand store. The
firemen responded quickly and the blaze
was not thought to be serious, but sud-
den ch ange in The wind occurred and the
flames quickly spread to adjoining build
ings. Then it was conceded that half
dozen buildings on the corner of Meyer
and Third streets would be destroyed, and
the occupants made hasty preparations
for the removal of their goods to places of
safety.
Every moment added fury to the flames,
and as they spread rapidly from house to
house, the people began to realize that an
enormous confagration was about to take
place. Every vehicle in town was pressed
into service by merchants, anxious to save
the contents of their stores, and great con-
fusion existed, during which number of
casualties occurred from runaway teams.
The merchants were not successful in re-
moving their goods, the flames spreading
with such rapidity that not more than one
tenth of their wares were saved.
When the postofice caught fire, it be-
came evident that desperate measures
should be adopted to stop the spread of
the flames. and. the water supply being
very poor, the tiremen decided to resort to
the use of dynamite and a number of
buildings were thus sacrificed before the
fire had reached them. During the prog
ress of the explosions fireman, whose
name cannot be learned, was probably
fatally injured by having one of his legs
blown off.
Late this evening the fire was finally got
under control, after having DESTROYED the
entire district surrounded by Warren.
Eaton, Third ard Fourth streets compris-
ing four blocks.
Among the buildings included in the
burned district are the First National Bank,
the Gold Stock Exchange, the Postoffice.
the Topic and Central theatres, the City
Jail, several large rooming-houses and
hotels.
1t is reported that all of the mails in the
Postoffice were destroyed.
Great excitement prevailed at the City
Jail, and as the prisoners could not be
cared for elsewhere Marshal Jim Marshall
threw open the doors and released all of
the prisoners.
Telegraph and telephone service was for
a time completely suspended, but both the
Western Union and Postal companies
opened up offices in the outskirts of the
city, and tonight communication is par
italy restored.
Many people lost everything they had.
Those who are not affected have offered
shelter to the homeless of whom there are
several hundred.
