COMPLETE SUCCESS.
Sianese Government Makes Repa-
ration in the Ke1lett Affair.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1O.-United
States Minister Barrett at Bangkok has
reported to the State Department by
success in his efforts to secure repara-
ton for the treatment accorded United
States Vice Consul Kellett last spring
by the local Siamese authorities.
Kellett's servant was arrested by the
native troops, who act as police in the
town Of Chiangmai, where the Vice
Consul had gone to look into the Cheek
claim. Upon interfering in behalf of
his serveant the Vice-Consul was ILL
treated.
An investigation was ordered by the
Siamese Government, and Barrett ac-
companied the commission up into the
country to investigate. He had just re-
turned to Bangkok and reports that the
assault was proved, though Kellett had
been imprudent.
The Government recalled to Bangkok
the Captain, Lieutenant and four SOL
diers who participated in the affair,
reprimanded them and suspended them
for a long time.
The Viceroy of Chiangmai had been
cautioned against a repetition of the
trouble, and the Siamese Government
press regret at the occurrence. This
may be regarded as closing satisfac-
torily the incident which caused the
dispatch Of the United States warship
to Bangkok last spring.

Commercial Relations of the United

Interesting Data Gathered BY United States
COnSuls.
Information Relating to Trade

That Is OF Great VaIue to the
Business Interests Of the Coun-

Information

WASHINGTON, Oct 10.-The Blu
reau Of Foreign Commerce of the State
Department is just now busily engaged
in he preparation for publication of
the volume known as Commercial Re-
lations of the United States embody-
ing annual reports from United States
Consuls in every country in the world
upon the trade conditions in their re-
specLive districts. Within the past
three years the quality and the value
of this annual publication to the bust
ness interests of the country have i'm
proved in an astonishing degree, ow-
ing to careful selection of material, pa
tient suggestion to Consuls of informa-
ton likely to be desired and the additioi.
of a compendious and thorough review
prepared by the chief of the bureau,
setting out conclusions as to general
trade tendencies that may be imparti-
ally drawn from a vast store of mat
ter supplied by the Consuls.
The forthcoming volume is of larger
scope even than its predecessors, and
instead of being little more than the
dry compilation of figures that it for
merly was, the Commercial Relations"
for 1867 Will present a mass of in
formation of such variety as to be
valuable and interesting not only to
exporting merchants, but to public men,
to manufacturers and to technical
workers. An indication of the charac-
ter of the work is afforded by the ex-
tracts that have been made from the
reports received within the last week
only, and have been given the benefit
of advance publications.
From Hanover comes an account of
the installation of an electrical railway
for handling heavy freight; suggestions
for placing American tools in Germany
and talk of an opening for breakfast
cereals
The Consul at Barcelona reports upon
the trade of Spain, as affected by the
Cuban war; upon the Spanish woman's
aversion to the bicycle, and upon tar
if and financial questions.
From Santo Domingo comes a report
Of railway development, of tariff
changes and a comparison of European
and American credit systems. The de-
pressing effect of American COMPETE
ton upon the Swiss watch trade is de-
scribed by the Consul at Geneva, who
also tells of the preference for Ameri-
can bicycles and of the growing de-
mand for American canned goods, CAL
ifOrnia fruits and sole leather.

COSTLY DEPORTATION.
What Uncle Sam Pays for Sending
Back Chinese.

DENVER (Col), Oct. 10.-A special
to the News from Santa Fe, N. M,
says: United States Marshal c. NJ.
Foraker returned last night from San
Francisco, where he went to deliver ten
Chinese who had been ordered deported
under the Geary Act by the United
States Court of Southern New Mexico,
for failing to possess the certificates.
with photographs attached, required by
law.
Mr.. Foraker says that it cost the Gov
eminent about $1,000 to deport these
ten Chinese. This includes Jail and
court expenses, railroad fare to the
nearest station on the Southern Pacific
Railroad, $50 per man over the latter
road to San Francisco, $40 per man
from San Francisco to Hongkong, cost
of feeding them en- route, and expenses
Of the Marshal and his deputies. All
these bills are paid by Uncle Sam I'M
der the law.
One of this interesting group of Celes-
tails has already been deported from
the United States twice before. He
coolly informed the Marshal in good
English that he wanted to return home
to visit his wife and children, but
would be back again in March. The last
time he came he brought six young
Chinese with him. How many viii come
back with him remains for time to dis
close. Marshal Foraker adds that he is
in receipt of a telegram announcing
that Deputy Sheriff Banner has appre-
hended two more eontraband Chinese
at Las Cruces, and there is one more to
be deported from Deming.

ENGLISH PAPERS.
They Criticise Sagasta's Policy
and Caution Americans.

LONDON, Oct. 10.-The Times, :"
commenting editorially this morning on
the Cuban situation, says:
IF Senior Sagasta fails to adopt a
bold reform policy in Cuba likely to
disarm American jingoism, it might
turn out to have been wiser to have left
General Weyler to finish the war IN
his own fashion,
The Standard after asking why
General Weyler is recalled, if it is in
tended to continue the campaign, says:
1T seems only too plain that Senior
Sagasta's course hardly deserves the
name of policy. 1t is almost a device
for parrying Americas importunate
questions. We suspect that General
Woodford presented something very
like an ultilnatum, and that but for
American pressure nothing would have
been heard of autonomy. We doubt
that Cuban settlement is made near
er. There Will be more fighting and
more negotiation. On the other hand.
the Washington Cabinet has need to be
circumspect. Spain has only Cuba
and honor left, and any open interfer
ence with the rights of Cuba would
kindle fire of resentment, and all talk
of autonomy would disappear, and the
struggle attain wider dimensions"

HANGED THE SHERIFF.
The Way Foreigners Treat Officers
in Minnesota.

ST. PAUL (Minn.), Oct. 10.-A report
has been received from Campbell
County s. D., of the hanging of a Dep
uty Sheriff who sought to attach GER
tain property belonging to a farmer.
The officer was overpowered and hang
ed to a tree, but managed to free him
self and escape, though severely in
jured. A posse started out after the
leaders Of the outrage and landed them
in Jail.
Two weeks ago another Deputy Sher-
if of the same county went to serve
papers and make an attachment, when
he was seized, carried into house and
kept a prisoner for twenty-four hours.
During his detention the debtors es-
capped He kept the matter quiet, and
finally located the man he was after in
North Dakota To-day he returned
with him and placed him in jail. The
perpetrators of these outrages are near
ly all foreigners who have been resi-
dents of the State several years.

A Man Charged With Burning His
Wife.
Her Clothes Saturated With Oil From a
Lamp.
| Witness Tells How He Tried in
the Same Way to Burn Up His
Wife Some Months Ago, but
She Aided the Woman to Extin-
guish the Flames and Fought
Him Off.

DAYTON (O), Oct 10-Residents of
the tenderloin district this morning saw
a column of flames in the rear yard of
the home of William Dupuyster. In the
midst of the flames was seen Mrs. Du-
puyster and before aid could be rem
dered she was dead, the clothing burned
from her body and her flesh literally
roasted. The kitchen of the house was
covered with oil spots and fragments
of broken lamp were found in the
house and yard. Dupuyster when
found would give no explanation of
what occurred and was placed under
arrest on suspicion of murder. Neigh
bors say he and his wife had been quar-
reling all night
Maggie Greathouse. who was on the
second floor of the building all night,
was taken into custody by the officers
as witness. She gives no light on the
case beyond the starting of the quarrel
shortly after midnight and tells Of a
former attempt by Dupuyster to kill
his wife several months ago. At that
time when he was arrested for dis
orderly conduct, she says, after a pro-
tracted quarrel between Dupuyster and
his wife she went to their room in an
swer to a call for help and found Mrs.
Dupuyster's night robe on fire and sat
urated with oil, which Dupuyster had
poured over her after breaking the
lamp. He had ignited the garment.
The two women fought him off and ex-
tinguished the flames. The Dupuys-
ters have borne an unenviable reputa-
ton for some time and have conducted
several questionable places
Mrs. Dupuyster's reputation has been
unsavory for years. Dupuyster comes
from respectable, well-to-do family.
and was a railroad man up to three
years ago, when he married the woman
Since then he has been in bad pursuits.
Opinions differ as to how Mrs Du-
puyster's clothing was ignited this
morning. 1t was at first supposed that
lighted lamp had been thrown at her
but as the burner to the lamp cannot
be found and nothing in the room
where the oil was spilled was burned,
leaving no evidence of an explosion,
some of the officers believe that the
plan described by the Greenhouse wo-
man on a former occasion was the
cause of death this morning.

COMMITTED TO THE ToMBs.
Damaging Evidence Against Detec-
tive Moore.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Central Detec-
tive Office Detective William Moore,
who is under arrest on suspicion Of
having stabbed his wife to death on
Wednesday was to-day committed to
the Tcmbs Prison The most damaging
evidence against the detective was
given by a neighbor, who said she
heard Moore in the house on the after
noon of the tragedy. Two boys also
say that between / and 2 o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon they saw the de-
tective leaving the house.
Moore denies that he killed his wife,
and says that he was in the Wall-street
district all day Wednesday until
O'clock, when he got word from police
headquarters that there was something
wrong at his home, and then he went
up town and found his wife dead. The
effort to suppress the fact that his wife
had died from a stab wound of the
abdomen and the burning of the muir
derad woman's clothing at the time of
her death, all tend against Moore.

GEYSER IN NEW YORK CITY.
BURSTING OF A CROTON
WATER MAIN.
Ten Million Gallons of Water
Spout Up and Do a Great
Amount of Damage.

NEW YORK. Oct 10-A large Gro
ton water main burst early this morn
ing al the corner of Madison avenue
and Forty-eighth street, the heart of
the fashionable district, and wrought
such havoc with property that not even
a partial calculation can be made of
the financial damage at present. For
blocks around scarcely a building es-
caped injury by reason of the volumes
of water which poured into the streets,
cellars and Easements. The loss will
reach we'll into the thousands.
The damage by water extends as far
west as Sixth avenue, and as far east
as First avenue.
The sewers were choked by the great
rush of water and then the flood rose
| in the streets The big water main
was probably cracked by blast which
was fired in a. sewer excavation late
| Saturday afternoon. Then tonight
when the strain was greatest it gave
way and the flood followed.
The breaking of the four-foot pipe
was announced by a rumbling noise,
which awakened the people in the inn
mediate vicinity. Looking out of their
windows they saw a great geyser in
the middle of the avenue shooting a
vast volume of water into the air. a
| column so high that it reached almost
| to the top of the electric light pole on
| the corner. Those who had no view
| of the fountain heard a mighty rush
of water. For five hours this column
shot into the air before it was shut off
at it's source, and in that time ten
million gallons of water had run down
the avenue and side streets. All the
streets east of Madison avenue slope
| gradually and down them the water
surged in torrent, flooding the cell
lars and Easements. Almost without
exception the houses in the vicinity of
the break were 50 flooded that they
have been damaged from $500 to So
| 600. The residences of @. Hooker
Ham11ersley, William Austice, J. Tai
bot and the clubhouse of the Delta
J Phi were among those most damaged.

American Creditors Want the Bel
gians to Do as They Agreed.

CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 10.-Judge
Chapital of the Federal District Court
has granted a stay of proceedings in
the case of the Monterey and Mexi-
can Gulf Railway Company which was
ordered to deposit 81 100000 as a guar
antee to creditors, among whom are
Americans. This case is very i'm
portant one and will have to be revised
by the Supreme Court.
The Belgian capitalists who came into
possession of the property agreed to
make the deposit for the benefit of
creditors and then took the ground that
as they were creditors there was no
need of doing so, but the American
creditors viewed the deposit obligatory
and the Belgians have now succeeded
in delaying action.
The case creates much interest and
the Americans will undoubtedly make
great legal fight when the case reaches
the Supreme Court.
