There were some hot horse ace at
Tucson last Saturday, and the belle Of
the ball was the Lordsburg horse that
P. B. Zeiglet bought OF Jas. Sterling.
In the first heat Zeigler was jogging
the grey horse along and as he struck
the up grade on the home stretch he
called cut to his fireman to keep his
eye on the track and dropped off into
a nap. Jock, who was driving Sleepy
John, pulled up alongside Engineer
Zeigler just as he opened his eyes,
waved a sheet Of yellow paper In his
face and told him he had orders to
pass him on that siding. Zelgler In

pneumatic tires of the sulky. Luckily
they were so near the finish that be-
fore the brakes caught the horses

and the heat was a dead one. Master
Mechanic Gray had his money up on
Zeigleris horse and was hot. He had
the engineer up before him, read him
the riot act and told him the next
time he took a nap on the up grade
he would get a thirty day lay-off in
which to catch up his sleep. Superin-
tendent Randolph, who also had his
money on the grey, had Zeigler dane
ing on his carpet, told him that Sleepy
John wal not even steamer freight

fire him sure. Just as the horses were
ready to start on the next heat Train.
master Brown, who likewise had his
money on the grey, swore he would fix

and found the familiar train orders,
which told him he had a clear track
to the next station and he was to run
there ahead Of time, keeping out OIL

him on the Sunset Limited. Just as
the train started the a boy, who had

Ed Holmig was in the city this week
showing a new combination of ore. 1t
was a heavy copper ore, the copper as
say showing it had thirty per cent Of
the metal, and plainly showing on
each piece Of ore was horn silver in
liberal quantities. This was the first
time Holmig had heard of horn silverin
copper ore. The ore is from a claim
southeast Of Granite Gap that was 10.
Gated many years ago, when consider
able work wac done on it. The claim
had long been abandoned when Holmig
relocated it. He had done consider
cradle work before he discovered The
horn silver. He then sorted over the
old abandoned dump and secured
twelve sacks of ore all rich in thi'
horn silver and some Of it showing ma
tive silver.

John Gleason with his wife and two
babies were up from Hachita the first
Of the week. Mr.. Gleason has leased
the Hornet mine and is putting up a
jig concentration, similar to the ones
which were so successful at Hadley.
The concentration will have a capacity
Of about thirty tons a day. He has
enough ore on the dumps of his Sunny
Slope mine to keep the jigs at work
for several months and there is plenty
more ore in sight. There is also a
great deal of low grade ore in the Hor-
net which will pay to concentrate and

ENGINEER AND FIREMAN KILLED.
Disastrous Wreck on the Panhandle Rail-
road in 0hio-MIracUioU Escape of
the PASSENGERS.

NORTH CHARLESTON, OHIO, Jan.
22.-The worst railroad wreck that ever oc-
CURED in this part of the State took place
this morning on the Panhandle, near this
town. The train was running at the rate
of sixty miles an hour when the boiler of
the locomotive exploded, instantly killing
Engineer Trimble and Fireman Waters.
There were nine coaches in the train,
and the wreck was terrible one. The
cars were piled upon one another in an
indiscriminate manner, and so great was
the force of the train that one mailcar was
thrown entirely away from the track and
into an adjoining field.
As soon as possible the work of rescuing
the passengers began. 1t was supposed
from the appearance of the wreck that
great loss of life must have occurred. It
was found, however, that no persons were
killed except the engineer and fireman.
Many of the passengers fact, nearly all
were more or less bruised, some quite
badly, but no one was fatally hurt.

MISS BARTON SAILS.
She Is Going to Turkey to Seek Permission
to Administer to Suffering

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 22-Miss
Clara Barton, president of the American
Red Cross Society, sailed this morning on
the steamship New York for Southamp-
ton, en- route to Constantinople, where she
will seek permission to enter Armenia to
administer assistance to the needy and
afflicted OF that country. Accompanying
Miss Barton are Miss Lucy Graves, steno-
grapher; Ernest Mason, linguist; George
II. Pullman, private secretary to Miss
Barton. and DIR. j. B. Hubbell, general
field agent of the society in Armenia.
Gu arrival in Constantinople Miss Bar
ton will call on United States Minister
Terrell and endeavor to secure his good
offices in the effort to induce the Sultan to
give the Red Cross Society the right to
enter Armenia.
When the steamer New York drew out
of her dock, the large crowd present loudly
cheered Miss Barton, who stood on the
deck and smilingly acknowledged the
compliment. From the masthead of the
steamer foated the emblem of the Red
Cross Society.
CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, Jan.
22.-United States Minister Terrell in
forms the representative of The United
Press that he does not desire to make any
statement in regard to the probability of
the Sultan's consenting to Miss Clara Bar
toms proposed distribution of relief to the
Armenians in Asia Minor, but The United
Press has learned from other sources that
Mr.. Terrell is making earnest efforts both
at the Palace and the Porte to secure the
admission of the Red Cross Society into
Anatolia, with full permission to supply
the needs of the starving and naked
Armenians.
The opinion prevails at the British em-
bassy, however, that the relief which is
being afforded by the missionaries is suffi-
cient for the needs of the Armenians with
out the assistance of any outsiders. The
Porte has not yet reached decision in the
matter in response to the representations
made by Minister Terrell.

HE REGRETS THEIR POSITION.
Says That Most of the Americans Took
The Side of Law and
Order.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 22.-The
Journal prints the following cablegrap1
from President Kruger of the Transvaal
republic, in reply to request for informa-
tion as to the Americans now imprisoned
in Pretoria for alleged participation in the
recent uprising of the Uitlanders:
PRETORIA, Jan. III Everything is
quiet at present. Americans are in no
danger whatever. They enjoy the full
protection of the law, like any other for
eigners, therefore there is no need of pro-
lection from outside against any illegal or
revolutionary movements. Even if such
protection against revolutionists were
necessary, which is not so, the Americans
are capable of taking care of themselves.
The Government regretsheeply that while
almost all the Americans took the side of
order and law, a very few of them have
joined the revolutionary so-called reform
committee. These, together with ma
iority, mostly British, will be tried ac-
cordlng to law, and justice will be done
all concerned without respect of nation

M0DJESKA rs VERY III.
She Cannot Appear Upon the Stage Again
for Weeks, if at An, Her Ply
sicinns Say.


CINCINNATI, OHIO, Jan. 22.-Madame
Modjeska, the actress, is not only unable
to fulfill her engagement in this city this
week but it is feared it will be weeks be-
fore she can act again. if at all. Doctors
Giles Mitchell and ]. T. Whitaker, who
are attending her, had consultation this
afternoon, after which they issued the
following bulletin:
Mime. Modjeska was attacked by phleg-
masia, a serious aff1iction. The swelling
on the left side of the neck is very painful
and renders any movement of the arm
almost impossible and absolutely inca
pacitates her from fulfilling her engage
ments here"
DR.. Whitaker explains that phlegmasia
is clot of blood resulting directly from
the inner tissues of a vein being injured
or torn in some manner, possibly from a
strain, and preventing free circulation.
| In the case of Modjeska it is serious, for
| the reason that the clot is in the jugular
vein, and if not removed will, it is feared,
| bring about the most unfortunate results.
DIR. Mitchell, while he considers her case
as serious, is hopeful of her recovery.
AT midnight Nine. Modjeska's physi-
clans pronounced her condition as more
favorable, and they now have hopes of her
recovery unless a change for the worse
sets in.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 22.-A special
cable dispatch TO the Sun from Newcastle,
Natal, says:
Hammond is in Jail, and the Govern
ment refuses to admit him to bail. The
position of Americans in the Transvaal is
lamentable. Something should be done
for US. We can do nothing for ourselves.
CURTIS.
The above dispatch, which was CO bled
to the Sun tonight was sent by Joseph
Story Curtis, son of the late George Ticknor
Curtis of this city. He enjoys considerable
prominence in mining circles and has a
large salary as mining engineer and
prospector.
He has many friends in this city. They
were amazed at the report printed on JAM
uary 13 of his arrest at Johannesburg on
the charge of being one of the leaders in
the recent uprising IN the Transvaal, as he
had always been strongly opposed to
British domination in that country,
and has often mentioned the matter in
letters written to friends in this city.
His sympathies have always been with the
Transvaal Government. although he
went to Africa originally as the agent of
an English company.

LAWRENCE, KANs., Jan. 22.-Robert
G. Ingersoll will not lecture to the law stu
dents of the State University at the com.
mencement exercises. The faculty coun.
Gil has notified representatives of the law
school that they do not approve of the
project, and that should an attempt be
made by the law school they will take
heroic measures to resist it. It was pro-
posed to invite the noted lawyer to address
the school on the subject of law. Colonel
Ingersoll consented to do SO upon condi-
ton of the approval of the university fac
ulty.
One of the leading law seniors, in speak
ing of the affair, said "Most of us con-
slider the action of the faculty as direct
slap in the face. am true blue. rabid
Presbyterian. but 1 can't see why they
should object to him. 1t shows that thew
are afraid of their own religion"
AS soon as the law students were in
formed of the facuIty's action they imme-
diately communicated with Chauncey M.
Depew. 1t is expected that he will come.
The law students aver that as it was ex-
pressly stated that the lecture was to be
upon the subject flaw, the faculty council
has subjected them to an insult.

Great Britain Stands Ready to Arbi-

the Republic.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 22-A Herald
special from Washington says: AS a
means Of bringing about an amicable settle
ment OF the Venezuelan boundary dispute
| am able to state, on high authority, that
Lord Salisbury had made manifest his
desire for resumption of diplomatic
relations with Venezuela. and that the ad-
ministration is doing all in its power to
accomplish such result. From informa-
ton obtained yesterday it is evident that
the London Times spoke adYisedly this
morning when it said:
Lord Salisbury's original objection to
arbitrate concerning districts settled years
ago by British subjects and under British
law still holds good, but the American
Government must be well aware of the
perfect willingness on this side to
discard the Schomburg line and
arbitrate on all the disputed territory,
excluding only the districts the British
and Venezuelans have permanently
settled. This basis of negotiations is open
for Venezuela to seek at any time.'
1t is known semi-oficially to the ad-
ministra ton that while Great Britain
cannot make formal advances for the re-
sumption of diplomatic relations with
Venezuela, for the reason that the latter
was the first to break them off, she is
willing and anxious to have Venezuela
take the initiative.
So well satisfied are the authorities of
the desires of Great Britain in this respect
that Venezuela it is stated on reliable
authority, is being urged by the ad-
ministration here to make an effort
to establish diplomatic relations with
Great Britain, and the President
of the Venezuelan Republic now has the
matter under consideration. The sug-
gestion was made, it is stated, by Secre-
tary Olney to the Venezuelan Minister
here, Senor Andrade, and by him COM
municated to his Government by cable.
There is a strong belief that diplomatic
relations between Great Britain and Ven
ezuela will be established and that the ex-
change of Ministers will be agreed upon
on the basis which also includes an agree.
ment to submit the boundary question to
arbitration.
The first intim alton that such course
would be satisfactory to the British Gov
ernment, it is asserted, was given by Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British Embassa-
dor, and Secretary Olney, after consulta-
ton with the President, promptly acted
on it.
There are strong reasons for believing
that Great Britain is now willing to make
concessions to Venezuela. 1t is admitted
that since Venezuela broke off diplo-
matte relations it is incumbent on her
to make the first move for their resump-
ton, and If she will do this the
prevailing sentiment in the London For
eign Office is said to be in favor OF pledging
an arbitration that will meet the peculiar
necessities of Venezuelan politics.
The scheme now most in favor is direct
