Topeka, Kan, Nov.-The Topeka po- lice have arrested Rev. A. B. Morrison, a Methodist minister of Pan Handle. Tex, and are holding him on sus- picion of murder until a sheriff can ar rive from Pan Handle and take him home for trial
 For several months Morrison had been engaged to Miss Whittlesley of Topeka, whose family is promi ent here and they were 70 be married dur ing the holidays. From information the police have received it is supposed that Morrison is the same person as a minister of the same mama whose wife suddenly died at Pan Handle. Tex on October 8, under suspicion of be- ing poisoned.
 Morrison admitted to Chief Steel that he was from Pan Handle, but said he did not know how charge of mur- dyar could be made against him unless it was the outgrowth of the criticism that was heaped upon him on account of his wfe's death

Washington, Nov. 22.-It is stated from an authoritative source that nc recent negotiations have occurred be- tween Secretary Sherman and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am- bassador, concerning a new arbitra- tion treaty between the United States and Great Britain, that no exchange of notes has occurred between MT Sherman and Lord Salisbury on this subject and that Sir Julian has not spoken of the matter since he re- turned to Washington some weeks age from London
 These explicit explanations were called out by detailed reports recently published, one of them being sent from Washington to London news paper to the effect that negotiations on the subject of the new treaty had progressed to a final stage, that il would be an emasculated version oi the former Olney-Pauncefote treaty and that it was now so far along thaa it would be submitted to the senate as soon as that body assembled.

FOUND UNCONSCIOUS.
Boston Man Sandbagged and Robbed
 dn Atlanta, Ga

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 22.-This morn ing a man was found unconscious in the basement of the Grand Opera house by policeman, and was identified as Herbert Wiswall, wealthy capitalist of Boston, and treasurer of a large bleachery at West Point, Ga. He was at once taken to the Grady hospital, where his head was found to be badly injured and his eyes discolored and badly bruised.
 He parted with the president of the West Point concern at II o'clock last night, intending to return to his hotel, which was but a few feet from where he was found. His companion says MT. Wiswall was sober when they parted and the presumption is that he was sandbagged and robbed, as some money is missing from his person. The physicians say he may die with out recovering consciousness.

LYNCHED AN INNOCENT MAN
But the North Dakota Mob Made NJ
 Distinction.

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 22.-'An innocent man was hanged by lynch CTS at Williamsport," Chief Justice Corliss of the state supreme court said yesterday q have ample docu- mentary proof of this.
 '@The supreme court ordered new trial in Coudot's case, because it ap- peared that he was convicted on the uncorroborated evidence of Holytrack and Ireland, both of whom confessed to taking part in the murder of the Spicer family. Their statements as to Coudot were refuted by the testimony of Dr. Ross, the resident agency phy- sician at Standing Rock. Dr. Ross veracity is unquestioned, and his testi- mony is supported by notes from his memorandum book. Another fact is that Holytrack and Ireland made two previous confessions, in neither of which did they duplicate Coudot.
 ''Holytrack and Ireland exp ated their crime on the gallows, as there was no question of their guilt, but the mob made no distinction, and hanged the innocent with the guilty. The lynching is foul crime and a blot on the fair name of the state and his mur- derers should not go unpunished''

A BIG LAND CLAIM.
A Tract Which Includes Minneapolis
 and St. Paul.

Washington, Nov. 22-An immense claim, embracing 7,OOO,OOO acres of land in the northwest, and Including the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul was brought before Commissioner Hermann of the general land office to- day and the assistance of the govern ment in securing official data was asked for.
 The claimants are C. B. Holloway of Holland, O., and A. U. Gum of Mau- mee, o. They are making an exami- nation of the general land office rec ords with view to securing copies of certified papers which they say will es- tablish their title to the lands claimed by them. Their ancestor through whom they claim title was Jonathan Carver, an Englishman, an explorer in the last century. Carver lived among the Indians of the northwest most of the time in what is now Min nesota and Wisconsin. For a period he was adopted by some of the tribes, including the Nawdanissia, who made him chief and for valuable services rendered, it is alleged by the heirs, presented him the vast tract in ques- ton. The claimants say that this tribal act was ratified both by King George the third and the Continental congress.
 Gum claims as great grandson of Carver and Holloway's wife is the at-granddaughter. A representative of the heirs had a long interview with Land Commissioner Hermann today, in which their contentious were ex- plained. The department will render whatever assistance is possible in the way of securing information.

STILL PATIENT.

bloomer girls got $2S5. The girls were not as handsome as the advertising bills said they were. Annie Jennings. the second base girl, is petite blonde with spirituelle face and appeared rather good looking from the grand stand. She was moreover very good player, sure catch, good thrower and strong runner. Maud Nelson the pitcher, is much better in the box than it would be supposed any woman could ever become. Georgia Devere at first was also pleasing surprise. The rest Of the players were only fillers, though all could throw very well, dis proving the theory of sexual de- rangement of the feminine c!avicle. The girls were not immodest in any way, ii wearing bloomers and trying to play base ball is not immodest They conducted themselves during their stay in town with propriety and went about their business of ball play ing in business-like way They were greatly assisted by Catcher Mail Will Hams, player who wore a Washing ton uniform and claimed to have been Washington player. He was at any rate the best player seen in this locality in recent years. Of the game itself there is little to be said. The Phoenix boys regarded the affair as d "iosh" and conducted themselves accord 1ngly. They made sacrifice hits and were invariably beaten to first by the ball. They loitered between bass. in different to results and in spite of their gallantry won the game by a score of 19 to z. It was the same though, as if they were playing a club Of four, for five of the girls were of
 little other service than to chase the ball when it flew into the outfeld. A little girl sitting in the grand stand said of the Phoenix players:
 Oh, they oughtn't to make fun of the girls" Why they are treating them very kindly" said another little girl

 "Ch, l know that" said the first but they'd better beat 'em than make fun of 'em."

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Postmaste ter General Gary is receiving many let ters regarding the postal savings bank proposition, strongly urged by him in his annual report. Many people throughout ths country have written him commenting ou this projected radical extension of the postal service and have submitted some suggestions calculated, in their opinion, to make the scheme more feasiDIe.
 As whole the correspondence indi- cates rather general commendation and some we'll known economists and fnanciers numbered among the post masters friends, have in letters just received, given qualified endo sement to the plan. Postmaster Gary eX- poets some action by congress at its next session.
