AFTER THIRTY YEARS.
Mrs. David Mckinney Finds Her
Husband After Mourning
Him as Dead.

La Crosse, Wis, April 16-Over thirty
years ago David Mckinney left his
family in the state of Oregon to fght
for the Union. He did not set eyes
upon any members Of his family after
the regiment left until asst Sunday, when
he was reunited in this city. It vas by
the merest accident that he discovered
his wife's wherea bouts. Each mourned
the other as dead during all Jnose years.
AT the close of the war Mckinney re-
turned to Oregon, but in some manner
he became separated from his young
wife.
The wife and mother concluded that
her soldier husband was dead, and finally
removed to La Crosse. where she has
since lived and where she raised her
family of little ones. Among these are
Charles Mckinney, a street car conduc
tor, and Mrs. Edward Laughlin.
In the course Of time Mrs. Mckinney
applied for pension. when the fact came
out that her husband was alive, and iy-
ing in Oregon. Communication was in
stituted and the full facts learned.
On Sunday last the sequel of the ro-
nance developed, when Mr.. Mckinney
walked into the home Of his wife. The
happiness Of the moment was intense,
and the reunion of the two most COM
plete. Mr.. Mckinney is now along to-
wards 70 years of age, tall and gray, and
is understood to be the possessor Of a
nice competency. He will probably take
up permanent residence here, though he
is very fond of his far Western home.

USE FLOUR FOR FUEL.
Steamer Runs Out Of Coal and a
Carload of Breadstuff is
Burned.

Benton Harbor, Mich, April 1.-THE
steamer Frank Woods, which left Mil
waukee Thursday night for this port,
finally arrived at $50 this morning after
Il nost exciting trip. In fighting the
storm yesterday the steamer ran out of
fuel, and the crew were compelled to use
4 carload Of -four in the furnaces to keep
up steam.
The Woods was within ten miles OF
St. Joseph when the storm struck the
steamer at o'clock yesterday morning
The big sea made it evident that the
vessel could not with safety enter the
harbOr. She was turned head to the sea
and started in to fight it out. All yes
terday the nigines were kept working
to keep the nose of the boat into the
wind. BY 10 o'clock last night the sup
ply OF coal was so nearly exhausted that
the captain determined TO run for port
Then the coal gave out altogether and
the tiremen began TO throw the small
sacks of -four in the cargo into the fur
naces in order to keep up steam. A car
load was burned in this way before the
steamer came into port.
Waves were washing over the vessel
almost constantly, but it is thought the
cargo is not damaged. Everybody on
board became seasick from the awful
rolling of the steamer. Engineer More
land had his head badly injured by
coal bucket falling upon him, and First
Mate Boswell remained at the throttle
all Friday night
The arrival of the steamer ended the
intense anxiety which has prevailed here
since yesterday morning. All night
friends and relatives of the crew waited
at the Graham & Morton offices for some
tidings Of the missing steamer. The ex-
element was the more intense on ac-
count of the vivid memory the people
here have of the anxious time they wait
ed in the same way for news of the
Chicora. which was on the same run
as the Woods. The safe arrival of the
Woods was greeted with cheers and
hearty congratulations

CLUE TO A BANK ROBBER.
Man Who Murdered Cashier Stick
ney In New Hampshire on
His Way to Canada.

Sommersworth, n. H, April 1.-THE
police of this city believe they are now
on the track Of the man they want on
suspicion of being connected with the
murder of Cashier Joseph Stckney Of the
Great Falls National bank and the rob-
berry of the bank yesterday.
Word was received from Milton dur
ing the forenoon that the team which
has figured in the bank case was at
PhOenix's stables, where it had been left
by & man answering the description of
the one who was seen to enter the bank
yesterday noon. AS soon as possible Il
description of the team was given and
fully identified as the one hired from
Whitten's stables in Berwick yesterday
afternoon.
The news caused a complete reversal
of the theory which the police had held
up to that time that the two men were
involved in the affair. because Joseph e.
Kelly, a fellow Well-known about town,
hired the team in question from Whit
tens stable at 1 o'clock yesterday and
Joseph Kelly is believed to be the man
who left the team at the Phoenix stable
After leaving the team the man boarded
d train for North Conway, where it was
reported nat Milton this morning he pur-
chased a ticket for Quebec.

HUNTER WILL WITHDRAW.
Republicans in the Kentucky Leg
islature will Hold Another
Caucus.

Frankfort, KY, April 19.-It was
given out at the Hunter headquarters
this morning, apparently by authority,
though not by DR.. Hunter himself, that
he would withdraw after the ballot to-
morrow and that Senator Jones, chair
man of the Republican caucus, would
call a new caucus for either tomorrow
night or Wednesday morning.
When asked if he would withdraw DR..
Hunter replied evasively, and those Re
publicans who have had lightning rods
up all during the session are doing some
tall hustling.
The nominee Of the new caucus will of
course be dictated by Hunter. This
lets out all thought of Col. ST. John
Boyle for whom the boiling Republicans
have been voting. 1t was rumored this
morning that the Hunter people had not
decided upon whom they would combine,
but that it would likely be Judge W. H.
Holt or Senator Debo of Marion.
w. J. Bryan arrived from Louisville
this morning and was given an en-
thusiastic welcome at the depot. His
rooms at the Capitol hotel were profuse-
~ decorated with flowers by the ladies
of Frankfort and an informal reception
VII be held in the hotel this afternoon
after his S. eech He witnessed the joint
ballot of the General assembly at noon.

NO DECLAR ALTON OF WAR.
Turkish Minister So Informs Secretary
sherman.


Washington. D. c., April 19.-The
communicated with Secretary Sherman
on the status of the Turko-Grecian con
f1ict He officially informed the Ameri-
can secretary of state of the termination
of diplomatic relations between Turkey
and Greece and of the attitude of offense
which Turkey has been compelled to
take by reason of the aggressive course
of Greece. 1t was expressly made
known, however, that no decla-
ration of war had been issued.
Until this official step is taken
the hostilities along the frontier are re-
garded in the light of preliminary move
mentS, designed to secure strategic posi-
TONS but not constituting war as con-
templated by a formal declaration of
war. Until this declaration is made the
United States government is not likely
to give official recognition to the exist
ing state of affairs by announcement of
neutrality or such other step as the
authorities may regard as necessary to
safeguard American interests.
The conflict continues to be the abb
sorbing topic in official and diplomatic
quarters here. 1t is the strong belief
among representative diplomats that the
actual collisions which have begun OIL
the border will compel the European
powers to renew with greater energy
the effort to avert a long and bloody
contest This move of the powers is be-
ing awaited with eager interest by those
most concerned, as it is felt to be the
key of the fnal outcome. Up to the
present time, however, no word has
reached officials here of any action by
the European concert,

Turkish troops are settled along borders of

tary of the navy was also with them.

STAKED HIS LIFE ON A RACE.
Tragic End of James Hunters Career on
the Turf.

San Francisco, Cal. April Thames
Hunter. who has followed the turf for
many years, is supposed to have staked
his life on Gold Bug, his favorite racer.
Gold Bug, who started in q race at the
Oakland track On Thursday, made a gal-
liant struggle, but there were faster horses
in the field The defeat meant much to
Hunter, who is now missing. His friends
are firmly convinced that he has for
feited his life because his horse lost the
race.
Hunter began his turf career at the
Kehoe stockfarm in Idaho, where he
bought the colt Gold Bug and trained
him for a racer. Hunter made the cir
cult in Idaho and Montana and went as
far East as Chicago. Two years ago he
came TO the coast with Jacob Krause
and started Gold Bug on this circuit
Tor nearly eight years Gold Bug made q
handsome living for these two men. Of
late, however, the horse been stale from
overwOrk and purses have been few and
far between. Hunter became a heavy
drinker and owing to lack of money has
been compelled TO seek shelter i'll the
stable of his pet.
When Thursdays race was over he
pulled his hat over his eyes and re-
marked to his friend, Philip Siebenthal Ter:
Il staked my life on that race and lost
A few drops will soon put an end to the
whole business"
Taking q last look at Gold Bug as the
animal was being led to the stable Hun
ter turned away from the race course and
has not been seen since.

WHEAT UP AGAIN.
Clean Advance to 73 3-4 Cents
Since Thursday-Means ST.
100000 to Holders.

Chicago, H., April 17.-May wheat
closed at 1874 cents, a clean advance of
As cents since Thursday. This advance
on a short Saturday session was attended
with much excitement and the session
throughout was as lively one as has been
witnessed in many months. Everyone
wanted to buy wheat, but there was lit
tie for sale and the advance was at times
SO rapid as to fairly take the breath
away from event fortunate holders.
Beginning with slight decline the
market in the first twenty minutes trad
ing shot up 2 cents bushel. After a
brief rest another cent was added. An
other let up and then came the final
bulge, during which the market jumped
Ii cent at time until just as the clos
ing bell rang 1871 cents was recorded.
Thirty-two boatloads were sold for ex-
port, some at an advance equivalent to
31s cents per bushel. Rumors that the
local market was cornered, although un-
confirmed, did not allay the bears ap-
prehension by any means.
The big winners in the local crowd
were not many. Probably the most sue
cessful one was John r. Linn, who is is
said, has been on the winning side of the
market eftener than any of the men
whose names are familiar in the specu-
lative world. John T. Barrett, w. T.
Baker and A. j. We'll, the New York
stock plunger, were also good winners.
1t is calculated that today's advance
means something like 100000 to
wheat holders.
New York, April 17.-There was a ire
mendous excitement in the wheat market
today. Prices advanced 4 cents a bl1Shel
in little over two hours Dealings ran
up into the millions. The shorts were
completely stampeded and their orders to
buy flooded the market from start to fin
ish. War news and foreign buying were
the factors which occasioned the tumult
The latter was by far the heaviest seen
here in a long time. No limit was set on
the execution of the foreign orders. They
simply said, Buy wheat" and it was
bought in at any figure. During the regu-
lar market session May advanced from
75a to rs cents and later on the curb
at 1912 cents. To the other influence was
added export demand at the close. Eu-
rope took about thirty-fve loads. The
market was at fever heat all day and left
off at its widest point. Total sales were
between 5000, coo and 1000. 900 bushels
st. Louis, Mo-. April 17.-July, the rul-
ing option in wheat here, closed today at
an advance of 33s to 3a4 cents over Thurs
day. The opening was strong and there
was n rush of shorts to cover in addition
to considerable buying by the regular
bulls. The final price, the highest of the
day, was IT'S cents. Advances in the
other months were made and spot on
track touched the 81 point, but not many
dealers paid that price.

CANNOT KEEP THEIR LOOT.
Illinois Court Says Thieves Have No
Right to Booty.


Chicago. ILL.,, April 19.-Capt. Stuart
of the government secret service has re-
ceived from the appellate court a deci-
sion which is of great Importance in
criminal practice. He had occasion to
take money from q man who had been
Systematically robbing the postal depart
ment. The man was sent to the peniten-
tiary. His lawyer then brought suit
against the Inspector. in trover, to re-
cover the money which had been taken
from the prisoner. The lawyer argued
his case on the plea that the bills taken
from his client had not been proved to
be the identical bills which were stolen
from the government. Gen. Black for
the government insisted that it was not
necessary to prove the identity, but only
to prove that the money found was the
fruit of the crime. The court took the
same view.
This makes a precedent in the Illinois
statutes. It is not necessary for the
Office to prove the identity of the stolen
goods in order to get them returned to
the owner, but the goods or money found
on his person which are the fruits of the
crime are rightfully the property of the
man against whom the crime was COM
nitfad

MUST GO TO JAIL.
NO Writ Of Habeas Corpus for the
Broker Who Defied the United
States Senate.

Washington, D. c., April 19.-The
United States Supreme court today re-
fused the application for a writ of certi-
orari and habeas corpus by Elverton r.
Chapman, the broker who refused to tes-
tify in the sugar speculation investigation
whether senators had speculated in sugar
stocks while the Wilson tariff bill was
before that body.
Chief Justice Fuller, who delivered the
opinion, held that the Senate under it's
constitutional right to censure and expel
members had the right to investigate any
alleged improper conduct of senators and
could compel witnesses to give testimony.
The sentence of the Supreme court of
the District of Columbia to thirty days
in Jail and 500 fine was affirmed and
Chapman's application for writs of ceru-
orari and habeas corpus were denied.

Stations.


Copyrighted. 1897, by the Associated Press.
Larissa Headquarters of the Greek
Army in Thessaly), April 17.-Details of
Turks at Nezeros, just within the Greek
frontier line. in Thessaly, and due south
of Mount Olympus, have been received
here. The fighting originated, according
to the Greek reports, in an attempt upon
the part of the Turkish forces to occupy
an abandoned post of the Greeks. The

forces, whereuDon the Turks opened fire
and a sharp engagement lasting four
hours ensued. The Greeks eventually
retreated. The losses are not known.
The engagement occurred yesterday.
At o'clock this morning heavy firing
between the Turks and the Greeks near

that the Greeks have occupied three
Turkish stations and that the Turks are
retreating.
The Crown Prince Constantine, the
Greek commander-in-chief. and Gen.
Macris were up all night dispatching or
deTs to the front

press has just heard that the engage
ment has extended to the Greek posts
to the left of Nezeros, but according to

TAKE UP SALARY QUESTION
Capitol Employees Tell Why They
Think the Committees Re-
port is Unfair.

Madison, Wis, April 16-[SpeciaI /
The joint committee on claims is consid-
ering the bill reported by the special in
vestigating committee revising the sal
aries of the department employees. A
committee appointed by the employees is
before the committee giving their reasons
why they think changes should be made
in the bill.
The matter continues to be the subject
of a great deal of discussion. Incidental
ly more or less feeling was aroused in
the committee by the fact that the re-
mitted to the Legislature. The commit
tee decided in an executive session not
to give the report to the press, but i'll
some manner it got out. That made
the members of the committee hot and
there has been good deal of talk about
it.
Every member Of the committee with
one exception has declared that he kept
faith. One gentleman declined to com
NIT himself on the point. The fact that
the bill was left in the possession of
Secretary Casson over night put him
under the ban of suspicion when the re-
port was printed. He declares that he
did not give it out and that he guarded
1t as carefully as he could.
An attempt is to be made tonight to
reconsider the vote by which the Hall
anti-pass resolution was killed i'll the
Senate. Senator Munson, who attempt
ed TO change his vote SO as to move to
reconsider, says that Senator Austin's
resolution. which shut him out, is not
binding and that he will tonight make
the move. He predicts that there viii
be big change in the vote.

WATERFOWL. WIS.
GOLD WILL BE EXPORTED.
Due to Legitimate Commercial De-
Hnands and will Not Affect
This Country.

New York, April 17.-There is a pros
pect of gold exports in the near future.
1t will not be surprising if shipments are
made within the next ten days. Until
very recently it was thought that no gold
would go to Europe this year or at any
rate until very late in the year.
The outgo of gold which now seems in
evitable will be due not to conditions in
this country but to the situation in Lon
don, or to be more exact, to the posi-
ton in which the Bank Of England finds
itself. The bank has recently sustained
tremendous losses of gold from it's vaults
chiefly by reason of Withdrawals for
transfer to Austria and Japan, and es-
peclally to the latter country. The
loss in gold bullion by the
bank last week has been FL 1898, 719, or
practically $lo,020.0oo The shipments
1891, 900, or 100000 Sterling ex,
change New York is almost up to the
gold exporting point, witch is cal"1lsstccd
to be S4.S81 for demand exchange. The
Bank of England's charge for gold bars
IS about one penny an ounce above the
normal figure and any additional measure
which it may adopt to protect its own
supply of gold will almost surely result
in gold being drawn from America.
For another thing the stock of bills of
exchange in New York, which two or
three months ago was large-approximat-
ing at one time 500, 100000 counting the
bills hypothecated for loans-has been re-
duced to between 100000 and $1O,-
100000. This is the time of year when
there is large call for bills by CONNER
cial remitters and the amount Of new bills
offering is not enough for their require
ments.
1t is idle to attempt to say how much
gold viii leave this country between this
date and July 1, but whatever it may be
it can readily be spared. Even should the
gold to be sent abroad be taken from the
treasury reserve the loss of $50, 100000
eminent with an ample store.
While the orders for the gold will come
from London, the shipments will prob
ably be to Japan and Austria direct. Ac-
cordingly Il large part of the shipment
may be made from San Francisco. Japan
and Austria are acquiring gold to place
themselves on a gold currency basis.

Fate of G. j. Strand of Shell Lake is
Verified,

Erie, Pa, April 16-The badly decom-
posed body of well-dressed man was
found in the woods near Fairview last
evening. An open knife and a gashed
wrist indicated suicide. Letters in the

been G. J. Strand of Shell Lake, Wis. In
his pockets was STAG, a watch, and
ticket from Chicago to New York over
the Lake Shore, bearing date Of Febru-
airy 20 The coupon to Buffalo had been
torn off. The body had the appearance
of being that of a man of so years, was
we'll dressed, and must have been of
good appearance His correspondence,
which was in Swedish, indicated that he
was a dealer in game and produce. His
presence where found, five miles from
his line of travel, indicated insanity. The
body is in the custody of Coroner Stein

Mr.. Terrell states that the minister from
Greece has been Informed that he must

SHUTS OUT THE MESABA,
Effort to Dispose of Ore in the East
Fails.

Duluth, Mimi, April 17-[Special. i
The Lake Superior Consolidated Iron
mines, the Rockefeller syndicate, has not
sold ton of its ore at Cleveland since
the Cleveland meeting ia spite of the
fact that its agents have been soliciting
orders from furnace men. This practi-
ca!ly means that it will be impossible for
any independent mining company to OPP
crate on the Mesaba range this year
The docks at Cleveland are filed with
unsold ore and the consolidated proper
ties, the Mountain Iron. Carnegies prop
erty, and the Mahoning, the Cambria
Iron company's property, can supply all
the additional ore the furnaces will use.
Unless sales are made very soon the
Consolidated company will suspend all
shipments from the docks here and place
all of the output Of the mines on the
stockpile until there is demand for it.
