Special to the indianapolis Journal

eous vandalism in the Scatterfield neighbor-
hood, south of Anderson, by members of
the White-cap band, eliminated yesterday

seen to leap from the platform and run
for his life, and Immediately a half dozen
others followed to a place of safety, while
flying sparks, pieces of iron and broken ma
chinery tore through the separator. The
CINE was stopped and an examination
showed that harrow tooth ten inches long
and an inch square had been fed through
in a bundle of wheat The cylinder was
completely wrecked and the concaVe brok-
into hundreds of pieces. The machine

FRANK BUFFERS TRIAL.
Mail Adyices from Australia and
Islands of the South Sea.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-Tne steam
ship Alameda arrived from Australian ports
this morning via Samoa and Honolulu.
Nothing of Importance has occurred at
Hawaii since tho departure of the previous
steamer. T. F. Lansing has been appointed
minister of finance to succeed S. NJ. Damon,
who is now in the United States. Mr.. Lans-
ing will probably retire upon Mr. Damon
The Alameda brings from Sidney papers
describing the trial and conviction OF But
Ter the murderer who was captured in san
Francisco and returned to Australia and
who has since been hanged. The trial lasted
four days and in some respects was sensa-
tional. On the last day of the trial Butler
attempted to cut his throat with the metal
tag taken from plug of tobacco. The at
tempt was discovered, however, before he
had done any serious damage. ON the same
day while being led into court Butler be-
came uncomfortable and had fierce strug-
gle with his guards He was finally dragged
! into the court room handcuffed and forced
to keep still. When the prosecution finished
| it's case Butler was asked if he had any
thing to say. The murderer was in
state of collapse apparently and the court
! adjourned until the afternoon to give him
time to recover. He tEen in a low tone
made a rambling statement that he started
| for the mines with Weller at Weller's sole
| itation. On the way Weller acted queerly
and when he displayed pistol Butler
| thought that Weller was going to shoot
| him. Instead, however, Weller placed the
| pistol to his own head and when Rutler
| the weapon was discharged and Weller WSq
| shot through the head. Butler said he had
| used Weller's papers to enable him to ship
| as a sailor he had no papers of ms
| own. The case was then given TO the jury,
| which deliberated for an hour and twenty
minutes before bringing in a verdict Of
| guilty. The judge then pronounced sentence
| and when he concluded with the words
land may God nave mercy on your soul,
Butter quickly retorted, land may He have
| mercy on yours too"
News has been received of H. M. s.
| Rapid, which has been cruising among the
Solomon islands and Furnishing the natives
| for the murder of Captain Gibbons i've
months ago. Six villages were burned and
hostages received.
John Adams, a gran1son of the Bounty
mutineer and one of t! oldest of the Pit
cairn islanders died last May at Norfolk
island al the age of siXty-eight; Adams
| took a leading part in the islands affairs
Another massacre is reported from the in
| terror of New Guinea. 1t is stated that
party of men making their way through on
| the Vanapa track, camped near a village
They were all slaughtered it is supposed
| by mountain tribes. A party of police was
| sent to the scene. but the leader returned
| sick. No details are available.

SLAIN BY FANATICS.
Over 5000 Brazilian Soldiers Killed
in Battle Near CanudOs.

NEW YORK, July "a dispatch to the
Herald from Rio Janeiro says that au-
thentic information has reached that city
to the effect that more than three thou
sand soldiers have been killed in battle
near the site of Canudos. The fanatics,
numbering more than ten thousand men,
all we'll armed, attacked the government
troops. Whole brigades of the soldiers We're
swept down and destroyed, trampled under
foot as the victorious fanatics, with wild,
hoarse shouts of triumph, passed over. The
full extent of the loss of life cannot be
told. There is no reason to doubt, however,
that the killed on both sides is more than
three thousand. For miles the ground
around Canudos is strewn with the dead
and dying, the government troops being
compelled to leave their dead on the field
and flee to save themselves from complete
destruction by the avalanche of the ia
natics.
When the report of the awful battle
reached Rio Janero, it was considered by
cided to send the minister of war to the
scene next week with four thousand men,
who are now gathering. They will carry
with them a great store of ammunition
and will endeavor to dislodge the fanatics
from the positions they now hold. Fight
ing has been in progress at Canudos for
several weeks. In the meantime the fanatics
have been gathering their forces from all
directions. The result was the final attack
on the government troops, which led to
Such awful results.

THE SLUMP IN SILVER.
An English Newspapers View of the
Cause and Effect.

LONDON, July 29.-The Globe, comment
ing on the fall in silver, says: AN aug
mentation of the worlds gold yield could
not fail to increase the value of silver
When California and Australia poured their
auriferous riches into the market silver
like all other commodities, acquired an en-
HANGED value. But the United States then
had no accommodations of the white metal
whereas now these have become so enor-
nous that silver sales can only be effected
at a sacrifice. This weeks collapse would
have happened some time back but for the
continuous purchases on japanese account.
That demand has ceased and China and
India are supplied. What steps the Amer
lean silverites will propose to counterfeit
this DISASTROUS state of things remains to be
seen. Their attitude is a specific threat to
tamper with the currency President Nc
Kinley, possibly foreseeing an attempt Of
this sort, has given an emphatic warning
that he will be no party TO such perilOuS
work 1t is fortunate that the India mints
are closed, otherwise the rupee would be
more deprecated than it is. The coin keeps
its value remarkably well, and if America
ceases to force the silver markets there
may be an Improvement soon.
