ABDUL'S HEAD TURNED.
Will Not Yield to Austria Until Last
Moment.

London, Nov. lit appears that the
statement made yesterday in a special
dispatch from Vienna that the Turkish
government in reply to the demands of
Baron de Calico, the Austro- Hungarian
ambassador TO the porte, had agreed
TO salute the Austrian flag after dis
missing the vail of Adna and the Null
essari of Mersina for indignities Of
fered To the Austrian B1azzafolli. was
premature. The porte has not vet
yielded to the Austrian demands.
Dispatches from Vienna announce
That up to midnight Tuesday no init
nation has been received of the inten-
ton of the Turkish government 10 dis
miss the offending officials, or to salute
the flag. If, however, the Austrian de-
mands are not complied with by noon
tomorrow C1hursday) Baron de Calico
VIII leave Constantincple and the Aus
ulan ships Will lombard Mersina.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Times says:
1t is now expected that the sultan
will hold out until the last moment and
then yield, which may appear to be a
clever stroke CT diplomacy and some
thing for the Turkish official press to
boast. Abdul Hamid is evidently just
ROW in frame of mind calculated to
inspire serious concern. His easy vic
tory over the Greeks, together with in
diligence he was accustomed to expect
from Germany until lately, completely
turned his head
The Neue Erie Presse says that Baron
de Calico has seized the opportunity of
demanding from the porte binding as
surances respecting other matters con-
corning the Austrian company which
works the oriental railways, and rela-
tive to which representations have al
ready been made repeatedly at Con-
stantinoDle.

TALKED IN HIS SLEEP.
st. Clair Confessed That He Murder
ed Decker
Especial to The Herald.)

Especial to The Herald.)
Idaho Falls, Ida, Nov. 1.-THE trial
CT H. c. ST. Clair commenced this morn
ing. The first witness, L. S. Kimball,
identified the clothing worn by John
Decker on Oct. 81 1t was also proven
that the murder was committed either
on the night of the Dist or the morning
of the 22nd. The rope with which the
blankets was tied around the head and
body of the murdered man, was iden-
titled fully by KimbaH as one Decker
used for tying hay he had purchased.
The newness Of the rope, length and
loop were the same.
Worthington and Constable Lynch
testified that st. Clair told them that a
man and woman were implicated with
him in the murder.
Young Congers, who slept with St.
Clair on the following two nights after
the murder, testified that on the sec
Tond night, after they had been drink
ing heavily, ST. Clair went to sleep
first and in his sleep said: Il have
killed the s. of a b.. Am sorry for it.
1t cannot be helped" Waking immedi-
ately, he pinched Congers in the side
and asked him whether he slept
soundly Congers replied that he did.
On the morning of the 22nd st. Clair
spent money freely, treating men and
buying candy and giving silver half
dollars to children. On asking a, crowd
that hesitated to drink, he took up a
shotgun and repeated the invitation
with an oath.
The testimony is all very damaging
and the prisoners nerves are in bad
shape.

THE HO0SIER BANK VRECEERS
RETURN OF ONE WHO HAD BEEN
IN HIDING.
Makes an Assignment of Everything
grandmother of Cashier Willet
Offers to Put Up $4,000.

Louisville. KY, Nov. 16.-John H.
Weathers, president of the failed banks
at Leavenworth, Marengo and English,
Ind, who has been in hiding in this
city and at New Albany, Ind, waiting
for the excitement caused by the bank
failures to die out, returned to Cory
don. Ind, today and made a statement
anent the failures to the depositors,
who held meeting at COrydCn to de-
wise means for a settlement.
President Weathers, in his statement,
said that the banks were closed as soon
as he discovered that their funds were
at such a low ebb. Upon the advice of
friends he left town, hoping for the
sensation to abate. Believing that he
might yet bridge over matters, he took
some collateral with him. but after de-
liberation he decided that it would be
better to return everything and have an
assignee appointed. He therefore as
signed today to r. c. Arnold of Leav-
enworth. Mr. Weathers said further
that all he wanted was reasonable
support for his wife and child, and he
promised to sDend one year without
compensation in helping his assignee
affect q settlement. Mr. Weathers
promised also that all of his personal
property and all of his wife's personal
property, which is considerable, in
Guiding their home, would be turned
over to the assignee.
President Weathers' proposition was
accepted without a dissenting vote and
tonight there is much easier feeling
among the people of the three towns,
as it is believed the deDositors will be
paid nearly in full.
The prevailing opinion is that Mr.
Weathers is the victim of Cashier Will
lett. of whom nothing has been heard
since he disap peared on Wednesday
morning last. Mrs Willett, his wife,
is Frustrated with grief.
From English, Ind, is is reported that
Willett's family, provided he returns
and proves himself not guilty of inten-
.tional wrongdoing, have promised to
make good his shortage. His grand
mother will donate $4,000, and other
relatives have pledges themselves for

Denver, Colo, Nov. 16.-Mrs. W. H.
Beck, wife of Captain William H. Beck,
government Indian agent at the Uintah
and Uncompahgre Indian agencies, ar
rived in Denver this morning, en- route
west She states that she had heard
from her son, who is an officer in one
of the troops stationed at Fort Du-
chesne, and that a governmental inves-
LEGATION into the recent killing of the
Indians is going to be held shortly
Paul said, in his letter." said she,
that that affair was nothing but muir
der, and the cruelest variety of murder
at that. The Indians are wards of the
government, and it is no more than
right that the government should in
vestigate the killing and see that pun
isfIment is meted out to the guilty par
ties, if a crime is shown to have been
committed. He went on to say that the
information CLEANED at the fort goes to
show that the game wardens are guilty
and it has been decided among the
higher officials of the army and the sec
Tetary of war that an investigation
should be held. l left the agency last
August, and have since been visiting
my sister at Fort Niobrara. AS soon

WILL NOT Be TAKEN ALIVE
TWO SALT LAKE CRIMINALS IN
UINTAH COUNTY.
Sheriff Preece on the Trail of Liant
and Ferguson-Have Stolen Sew
eral Horses.


Vernal, Utah, Nov. 16.-For the last
two weeks Sheriff Preece of this county
has been shadowing two men whom he
suspected OF being Liant and Ferguson,
who escaped from the Salt Lake au-
thorities a short time ago. They have
been hanging around the south end of
the valley up to last Sunday, when
they suddenly disappeared and with
them several horses owned by parties
living in the vicinity.
There seems to be no doubt about
the identity of the men and Sheriff
Preece will undoubtedly camp upon
their trail until they are brought in.
Liant is reported as saying that he
would not be captured alive and there
may be a lively skirmish before they
are taken.

MISCHIEvOUS DAUNTLEsS.
Talk of Des Dying Her as the Only
Preventative.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The filibuster-
ing steamer Dauntless is again causing
serious concern to naval authorities. A
telegram to the navy department from
Key West, where the cruiser Montgom-
cry and the gunboat Annapolis are
supposed to be on the watch, an
nounced the sudden arrival of the
DauntIess at that point.
If she has men and ammunition
aboard, the Dauntless is in a fine way
to reach Cuba for all the navy can do
to prevent it. since her speed makes
it difficult for any one of our smaller
warships to catch her. The only sure
method to prevent her reaching Cuba
in the opinion of the naval officers
here is to destroy her.

PINCHED THE CHURCH.
Investments by 4 Diocesan Treasurer
Prove Improbable

Concord, n. H, Nov. 16.-There was
an echo in the meeting of the New
Hampshire Protestant Episcopal do
cean convention here today of the fail
-e of John L. Farwell's two banks at
Claremont last year. Farwell was
treasurer of the diocese for several
years, and when he went to Europe,
over a year ago, it was found that a
considerable PORTION of S50000 of
church funds, which he had placed in
the west. was unprofitably invested.
The subsequent failure of Farwelrs
banks also caused losses to the church
and to Bishop W. w. Niles personally.

Seat of the Fire as Great a Mystery
as Ever.
SITUATION AT SMUGGLER
BELIEF THAT TIMBERs OF BIG
CRIB ARE BURNING.
Every Property on smuggler Noun
tain, Except Mollie Gibson and
Free Silver Abandoned-Fea
Strong That Aspen Mountain Pro-
perties Will be Affected.

Denver, Colo, Nov. ia special to
the Republican from Aspen says: The
suspense over the Smuggler fire is as
great tonight as ever. In fact it is
increasing. The gas is penetrating a
remote territory, and the seat of the
fire is as much a mystery as ever. This
IS the situation in a nutshell.
The force at work in the burning mine
has made great Roadway during the
past Il hours in the way of handling
the gas and working toward the sup
posed burning crib, but beyond this but
little has been accomplished.
MEN NONPLUsSED.
The eighth level has been reached and
hulkheaded. The men have succeeded
in getting into the crib on the seventh
level. At this point there is no partic-
ular evidence of fire. and they are
somewhat nonplussed Steam, air and
water lines have been run to this point,
and everything prepared to tackle the
blaze as soon as discovered. This was
accomplished about noon, and it was
decided to attempt to cut through the
crib this afternoon. AT first it was
thought the crib could be cut through
by or O'Clock. but it will not be
blown out much before daylight to-
morrow morning. The deadly fumes
continue TO penetrate new territory and
more men are being driven out.
PROPERTY ABANDONED.
Every property on Smuggler noun
tain with the exception of the Mollie
Gibson and Free Silver is abandoned
and can only be recovered after the
fire is extinguished. This includes the
Cowenhaven tunnel, and all properties
worked through it. The Smuggler mill
will close in a day or two. The fear is
strong tonight that Aspen mountain
properties will soon be affected.
Since morning the gas has been quite
strong in the Argentum- Juniata, and
the theory is entertained that it is find
ing its way into this property through
the seams in the contact. Should this
prove correct it is only a question of a
short time when the entire working
force Of the district will be walking the
streets.
"A THEORY.
AS to the fire itself. nothing more is
known regarding it than on yesterday
It has not been located, and the theory
that heated Shale is generating the gas
is growing in favor. The Smuggler peo-
pie are not inclined to this theory, and
maintain that the timbers of the big
crib are burning. They admit that they
do not know where the fire is, and un-
til it is found and its extent determined
people here will not breathe easy
Manager Hallett said tonight that he
believed the fire had been eXtinguished
by the water that had been poured on
the crib from the sixth level, and that
no more gas is being created. This the
DRY is not generally accepted for, while
the volume of gas coming from the
shaft is no larger than yesterday, there
is more heat, which is thought to indi-
cate that the fire is increasing.
