SOUTH AFRICA TROUBLES
The Rising Among Matabeles Not So
Serious as First Reported,

CAPE TOWN, March 29.-According
to advices received here, the rising
among the Matabeles is not so serious
as the first dispatches portended, but
there is nevertheless much anxiety as
to what the final outcome will be- A
dispatch received to-day from Bulu-
Wayo, the principal town of Matabele-
land, says that thus far twenty whites
have been killed by the natives.
Sir Hercules Robinson, Governor of
Cape Colony and High Commissioner in
South Africa, has cabled Colonial Sec
retary Chamberlain in London that
Captain Nicholson telegraphs from
BuluWayo that he has $50 rifles and
plenty of ammunition. Captain Nichol-
son thinks that the revolt will not
spread. The only detahments of the
native police who are known to have
certainly. deserted are thirty who shot
Commissioner Bentley. Another thirty
were very restless and were disarmed,
after which they deserted. Several of
the white settlers who were missing,
and who We're supposed to have been
massacred by the natives, have arrived
safely at Buluwayo.
Governor Robinson has furnished a
mounted courier to convey 500 rifles of
the British South Africa Company from
Mafeking, on the Transvaal border, to
Buluwayo.
Among the victims of the Matabeles
were a family consisting of husband
and wife, three grown daughters and
three sons. ComrniSsary Bently and
the others massacred were horribly mu-
tilated. After death their faces were
covered with dried grass, which was
then set on fire, rendering the fatures of
the victims unrecognizable.
A late dispatch from Buluwayo said
that it was feared an attack would be
made on that place tonight.
LONDON, March 29-In it's issue to-
morrow the Chronicle" will denounce
the demand that is growing in certain
English newspapers in favor of sending
a powerful expedition to South Africa.
The Chronicle" ascribed the demand to
an anti-Boer propaganda that is being
pushed by a ring of capitalists

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
GOVERNOR DRAKE TALKS OF
MCKINLEY'S CHANCES.
Thinks There is Not the Slightest Pos.
Sibility of the Ohio Statesman
Being Nominated.

NEW YORK, March Ex-Governor
Francis NJ. Drake of Iowa came on to
New York yesterday afternoon after the
successful launching of the battIeship
called after the State of which he is at
present the executive. When asked
about the prospects of Republican
Presidential candidates in the West,
and particularly whether Mr. McKin-
ley's ultimate strength would be as
great as it now seems possible that it
would be, the Governor replied:
Il think Mckinley will lead all other
candidates, not only on the first ballot,
but on the second and third. After that
think his vote will begin to recede, and
the nomination will pass to Allison"
Then you think there is no chance
for the nomination of Mckinley on the
first ballot?" asked the reporter.

Drake. "a good many delegations
which have already been secured for
Mckinley have been got by hustling-''
Manipulating, interrupted the re-
porter.
"Well, in a sense you might almost
call it that replied the Governor. II
am convinced that the prevalent feel
ing of the States west of the Mississippi
is in favor of Allison, although the dele
gates from Minnesota, Nebraska and
South Dakota have been secured for
Mckinley. But as soon as they have
given him a ballot or two they will
break up and leave him. One great
chance that Allison has of getting the
nomination is that he is everybody's
second choice. Everyone knows that
Allison is for sound money, and Iowa
has already passed sound money reso-
lutions."
What do you mean by sound
money!" asked the reporter.

ANGRY FRESNOITES.
On the Verge of Another Uprising
Against Evangelist johnson.


FRESNO, March 29-Fresno was on
the verge of another uprising tonight.
Evangelist Johnson, who few evenings
ago was requested by a committee of
citizens to leave the city and never re-
turn, came in from his rural retreat
this forenoon and participated in the
services at the K-street Methodist
Church to the extent of Offering up a
prayer.
The public had settled down to the
conviction that the community was
fairly rid of Johnson, and therefore lit
tie attention was paid to the rumor yes
terday that he would attend and take
part in the services to-day. Johnson
availed himself of the calm
Deputy Sheriffs were distributed in
the audience during the services but
all passed off quietly and orderly Few
persons aside from the membership
knew of Johnson's presence in the city,
so that up to 7:30 o'clock no demonstra-
tion of any kind was made. But this
evening there were many angry NUT
terings, and Johnson's name was
coupled with threats in every place
where men congregated. Not until the
evangelist retired to the home of some
parishoner did the excitement subside
Rev. George Morse of Pasadena, who
is wealthy champion of Johnson s
cause, preached the sermon in the
church this forenoon.

Church, wherein Johnson proclaimed
his libel on the daughters of Fresno.

MURDER OF OLIVER PIKE.
Killed Because of His knowledge of
Crimes Committed at an Asylum.

Crimes Committed at an Asylum.
CHICAGO, March 29.-According to
the story of William Doriot, who ar
rived in Chicago to-day, Oliver Pike,
the young man who was found dead in
a trunk at Austin last Thursday night,
was beaten in the head three years ago
by men who thought he knew of mur-
ders said to have been committed in an
asylum at Steillacoom, a village a few
miles distant from Seattle
He came West from Fulton, Ohio, at
the solicitation of a schoolboy com
panion named Shade, who was then
Superintendent of the asylum at Stella
COON. Pike worked at the asylum for
many years, when all of a sudden he
packed his gripsack and went to work
for a laundry. During this time the
young man, who was an eyewitness to
many outrages at the institution, wrote
letters to his mother, who lives at Full
ton, Ohio, in which he told in detail the
unnatural scenes he had beheld at the
asylum.
1t is more thanl three years since
young Pike ceased to write letters to
Ohio. His silence elected inquiries from
the old homestead, The old companion
wrote to the missing boys mother that
he feared that Oliver had been killed
because of his knowledge of the crimes
at the asylum.
Young Pike died in February, 1893.
In March of the same year his compan-
ion vanished mysteriously. He, too,
was doing some work at the asylum.
When a description of the dead man
found in the trunk by the two Gerr19 ms
at Austin was printed in the Cincin-
natl papers, Doriot, who is quite old,
and who had maryeled at the silence of
his nephew, was convinced that the
cadaver was that of Oliver Pike.

NEW YORK, March 29-The Evan

has issued an appeal to the people of
this country in behalf of the sufferers
by the recent Turkish massacres in Ar
menia. The document also contains an
appeal from the missionaries. 1t states:
AN appeal of the most solemn and
impressive character has just been re-
celVed, signed by the entire force of the
American missionaries at Harpool. in
the Turkish Empire, imploring sympa-
thy and moral influence in behalf of the
prosecuted Armenian Christians in that
empire. The alliance would be untrue
TO Its constitution and it's history if it
ala not give earnest heed to this memo
rial. 1t has taken immediate measures
TO secure favorable action from the Sui
tan of Turkey by the Government of the
United States and the other branches
OF the alliance throughout the world.
The alliance herewith spreads before
the people of this country the document
received from Harpool:
Does the Christian world know that
this has been and is a clearly defined
religious crusade? 1t is part of the
Moslem creed that men of all other
creeds are inferior, and the Christian
races IN this country have always been
treated as such; and now that the Ar
men1ans have sought for some equality
OF rights, for greater freedom from op-
preston and injustice, and for the pro-
lection OF person and property, the
Turks have sought to crush them.

Tor the exercise of such immortal power

Christians from this intolerable yoke.
we are confident that if the representa-
tives of the Christian Governments in
Constantinople We're to unite in a firm
and solemn protest in the name of hu-
manity against any further attempt to
renounce the faith which their fathers
have held in the midst of persecution
and oppression from the days of the
apostles to the present time, with a per-
slstence as marvellous as that of the
