BLOODY ELECTION RIOT.
Four Men Killed and Two Wounded
at Frankfort, Ky.


Frankfort, KY, Nov. 3.-One of the
bloodiest election riots that ever took
place in Kentucky occurred on the
streets of Kentucky's capital Tuesday
morning between twelve and two
o'clock. The dead are Frank Egbert,
Thomas Deakins, Howard Glore and
Charles Graham. The wounded are
John Smith and Walter Gaines, both
shot in the leg. Six men were arrested
The silver democrats, it is alleged
had undertaken to COLOMBO 25 or 30
negroes in the county, and Frank Egg
bert, a member of the fire department,
and some friends attempted to thwart
their scheme. The negroes were in a
wagon with Ben Marshall and other
white men. Egbert fired into the party,
hitting Smith, one of the negroes, and
slightly wounding him.
Marshall, who was a brother-in-law
of Egbert, dropped into the bottom of
the wagon and saved himself from the
several shots aimed at him. Driving
rapidly down the hill and into the city,
Marshall and Smith and their
ed out to hunt Egbert. At the corner
of Main and st. Clair streets Egbert
and Walter Gaines were seen coming
down the street waving their pistols.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Deakins then
appeared on the scene and attempted to
arrest Egbert. Egbert resisted and
fired at Deakins. Deakins returned his
fire, and Egbert fell with four bullets
in his breast. Deakins received two OF
Egbert's bullets and one from the pistol
of Howard Glore. BY this time 20 men
were on the scene, and the fusillade be-
came general. A steady fire was kept
up from behind trees and houses for 20
minutes. Charles Graham, one of the
negroes, and Glore, who was con-
stable, both met death. Walter Gaines
was seriously wounded. Egbert had
made record for fighting. In 1892 he
killed negro, and in 1893 he murdered
Jerry Lee.

SEALING TREATY is SIGNED.
Russia, Japan and the United States
Form a Compact.

Form n Compact.
Washington, Nov. S.-Only the formal
action of the senate is now required to
United States for the joint protection
of the seals in Behring sea. A treaty to
that end was signed at the state depart
ment at noon Saturday by representa-
tives of the three governments named,
and it will become effective when rati-
fled by the senate. The treaty was
signed in the large diplomatic room at
the state department. The usual
formalities attended the action of the
negotiators, who were:
For the United States-Messrs. Foster,
Hamlin and Jordan.
For Russia-Messrs. De Wollant, Bot
kline and Routkowsky.
For Japan-Messrs. Matsai, Fujai and
Nutsikuri.
There were three copies of the docu-
ment, one for each nation represented,
and the delegates of each nation signed
their own copy first. The sealing of the
documents was attended to by Mr.. De
Wollant, the charge of the Russian gov
eminent, and William Gwynne, the lat
ter being an expert in this line, having
sealed almost every treaty negotiated
here since the treaty of Washington.
With the affixing of the seals in wax
the formalities concluded, and there
was an exchange of congratulations
over the consummation of the work.
The text of the treaty will not be
given out by the state department un-
til final notifications are exchanged.
AS the document must go to the SEN
ate for approval, custom requires
that it be withheld from publication in
this manner. 1t is said, however, BY
those concerned, that the general pur-
poses of the treaty have been already out
lined in the press, and it is likely that
all of further interest that remains in
the document is the exact nature of the
additional restrictions that are to be
imposed upon pelagic sealing.
1t is expected that the meeting of
British and American experts will take
place this week, according to the orig
inal programme, unless there should
be some intervention from the British
foreign office, which is not anticipated.
Meanwhile the British expert, Prof.
Thompson, who is now in Washington,
will be acquainted with what has al
ready been accomplished by the gov
eminent of the United States, Russia
and Japan and with the terms of the
treaty.
London, Nov. 9.-The British officials
regard the prompt agreement arrived at
between the United States, Russia and
Japan, providing for temporary sus-
pension of pelagic sealing, as vindica-
ton of their refusal to enter into the
conference and as a demonstration of
their contention that an understanding
existed between the three countries. 1t
is not likely that Great Britain will con-
sent to stop sealing. Her majesty's gov
eminent confidently. expects settle
ment of the question by the United
States purchasing the Canadian in

W. G. I. U.
Buffalo Convention Has n Good Word
for Mrs. Carse-The Resolutions.


Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 3.-The election
of officers was the principal event of
Tuesday mornings session of the w.
C. T. u. The present officers, headed
by Miss Frances E. Willard, were re-
elected unanimously. A motion was
adopted declaring that nothing said in
discussion of the Temple should be con-
strued as rejecting on Mrs. M. B. Carse,
her sincerity of purpose, her good faith
or her management, but on the con-
trary "we hereby express our apprecia-
ton of her unfaltering faith and her
tireless labors in the interest of the
Temple"
The resolutions committee submitted
preamble and resolutions, which was
adopted. A synopsis follows:
They affirm loyalty to the principles of
total abstinence; declare the Seventh Com
mandment the only Christian way of deal
ing with vice. insist on an educational in
stead of sex test for elective franchises;
oppose all laws which by license, taxing, or
otherwise provide for the sale of liquor
as a beverage; declare for determined agi-
tation against narcotics; express grief at
the serving of wines at the annual reunion
at Princeton, and favor equal wages for
equal service, without regard to sex. Res
olutions were also adopted in memory of
Gen. Neal Dow; extending sympathy to
Lady Henry Somerset In her illness and
regrettng her absence, and expressing 10y
atty and fidelity to Miss Willard.
Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 5.-An important
sequel to the events of the last three
days occurred Thursday when meet
ing of the Temple trustees was held.
Seven of the IL trustees resigned, and
their designations were accepted.
Among those resigning was Miss
Frances f. Willard. The resignation Of
Miss Willard is great surprise to all
but those intimately acquainted with
the business of the convention. She de-
clares that being at the head of one
fund for the Temple it is hardly con-
sistent for her to be a trustee of an
other, but it is generally accepted as
clinching the lack of confidence in the
position taken by the national conven-
ton toward the financial management
of the Temple. This left but four trus-
tees-Mrs. Matilda B. Carse, the presi-
dent of the Temple; Mrs. Marion II.
Durham, of Iowa, who is one of Mrs.
Carse's strongest supporters; Mrs.
Demorest, of New York, and Mrs. S. S.
Fessenden, of Massachusetts.

Trade Features of the Week.
New York, Nov. 6. - Bradstreets

weekly review of trade says:
"Killing frosts south, the raising of quar-
antine embargoes at nearly all states in
vaded by yellow fever, the resumption OF
traffic and a prospective revival in de-
mand for staple merchandise constitute the
trade features of the week. Rains in CEN
trail western and western states, followed
by colder weather, Save favored farmers
and stimulated demand from interior store
keepers. This has had favorable ef-
feet at Louisville, st. Louis and Kansas
City. Jobbers in northwestern states are
awaiting seasonable weather to stimulate
the movement of heavy dry goods and win
ter clothing. Features at larger PACING
coast cities are confined to sales OF mer-
chandise and provisions for the Klondike
and the heavy foreign shipments of wheat
and flour. Larger eastern cities report
no increase in the general merchandise
Movement New England centers report
that orders from the west exceed those
from the south or east. Leading manufac-
turing industries continue fairly well en-
ployed. While there has been a moderate
reaction in iron and steel, furnaces and
mills continue well employed and the out
look for higher quotations next year is I'M
changed. In addition to lower prices for
southern and Bessemer pig and for steel
billets, quotations for naval stores, woods,
copper, coffee, pork, -four, oats and wheat
are lower, while those for cotton, print
cloths, sugar and beef are unchanged, and
for Indian corn and lead are shade
higher"

in the county Jail Sunday afternoon.
Death was almost instantaneous. Mrs.
Pinkerton was an inmate of the same
cell with her husband, this precaution
being taken to prevent the prisoner
from carrying out threats to suicide,
but there is evidence that she furnished
the knife with which her husband killed
himself

The Commissioners took no action in the
matter. They stated, informally, that in
their opinion the cause OF the poor fishing in
the lake was not the result of the fish being
oyerfed, but rather the result Of ice fishing,

now see that it is best for the interests of all
concerned to prohibit ice fishing ana thus
have better fishing in summer
