MORE GOLD HUNTERS.
This Crowd Will Reach The Region on
a Bicycle.

Il
Bicycle.
New York, July 3O.-The Herald to-
day says that one Of the most novel
of the many schemes to obtain a share
of the wealth of the Klondike region
has been developed by syndicate Of
four wealthy New Workers, who are
planning to establish trading post
and stores in the mining camp and al
so to purchase all promising claims on
the market. They will transport their
men and supplies to the gold fields on
bicycle specially built for the pur-
pose.
The members of the syndicate prefer
that their names shall not be mention
ed at present. They have nothing TO
sell and will furnish all the money re-,
quired themselves. Their attorney is
Henry F. Granger, of No. Is. Broad
way.
AS Mr.. Granger outlined the plan
the enterprise will be undertaken on
an extensive scale. He will meet an
expert at Seattle, and will dispatch
him at once to the gold fields, we'll
supplied with money to buy up all the
promising claims on the market. The
attorney will also talk with returning
miners and gather all the information
possible. If it is possible to buy or
share in freight steamers on the Pa
cific at anything like their true value.
he will invest in two or three If the
companies have got
control of all available vessels, how
ever, they will be bought here on his
return and dispatched around the
horn.

Several Attempts to Lynch Robinson
Were Made.

Several Attempts to Lynch Robinson
Were Made.
There was much excitement in the
west part of the city last night over
the Henry Robinson rape case and
several attempts at organizing mobs
to do the lynching act were made, but
all were futile for want of the proper
leaders.
A small mob formed on Paschal
square and went to the Jail, but nobody
would make a move to assault the Jail
and were cautioned by the heavy
guard inside to get away.
A more determined mob assembled
in Convention hall, on the corner of
Houston and North Flores street, and
speeches were made by several men,
after which the crowd marched on the
jail, but were met by City Marshal
Shardein and body of policemen at
the entrance to Camaron street and
forced to move on.
Csmaron street in front Of the Jail
was pretty well filled with angry men,
however, until 1 o'clock this morning
and two attempts were made by lead
ers to force an entrance to the Jail.
One man, from Victoria, was jailed
for melting a riot, and anothers
switchman on the Southern Pacific,
was very nearly run in on the same
charge.
The Jail was heavily guarded by
deputies sheriff and all of the steel
doors inside the jails were also locked
and barred. Every part of the build
ing, front and rear, had sentinels on
watch and the mob would have had a
hard time to storm the bastile.
At o'clock this morning, all but
five or six officers were called off, and
the remainder stood guard all night.

QDBANS MEAN BUSINESS.
Sweep Right Through Ha-
Vana'S Suburbs.
THEY USE RAPID FIRING GUNS.
AND PLENTY OF
DYNAMITE. !.
Spanish High Dignitaries Attempt
To Deny The Report, But
Their Wounded Only Goes
To Prove 1t Is All
Too True

New York, July Boa dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
Havana's outposts have again been
attacked by a large body of rebels,
who before the Spanish troops could
be gathered to resist them, had swept
through the suburbs, carrying all be-
fore them. They used it is believed,
rapid firing guns and large quantity
of dynamite.
The attack was made last night late.
Today there is an inclination among
the Spanish officials in Havana to de-
ny the fact that rebels had evaded the
forts and swept into Havana's limits.
The fact, however, remain and the
path left by the rebels through the
suburbs southeast of the city may be
plainly traced.
At the first sound of firing last night
the Spanish soldiers in the city and
suburbs sprang to arms. They pro-
ceeded hurriedly to the southern part
of the city, from where the rattle of
musketry followed by the boom of
heavy guns or dynamite, could be
plainly heard all over Havana. Then
the sound of firing increased and fin
".
showing that the rebels had retired.
Several wounded Spanish soldiers
were brought into Havana and IemoV-
ed to hospitals after the engagement
and several were killed. The reticence
of Spanish officials prevented any
knowledge of the result becoming gem
eral. 1t is a fact, however, that great
damage was done by the insurgents
on their bold raid and that a consid-,
cradle quantity of dynamite vas used.
There was great excitement in Hav-
ana during the rebel attack. Hun
dreds, aroused by the heavy firing,
poured into the streets and the word
was passed, the rebels have attacked
the CITY," created almost a panic in
some quarters. There is still great ex-
element here, due largely to the re-
fusal Of the officials to give out in
formation.
This attack of Havana was not I'M
expected. For weeks past the rebels
have been within sight Of the capital
and have practically moved without
interference. The inSurgent leaders
nearest Havana now are Brigadier
General Castillo, with large force at
Mariana, nine miles southwest, and
Col. hester Aranguren at Guanabacoa,
across the bay. Gen. Alexander Rod
riguez, rebel commander of Hanava
province, with a large force is near
Minar, and Col. Raoul Arrange is at
Colorro. s..
There is a belief that the rebel raid
was led by Arangurer who is noted as
one Of the most daring Of the rebel
chiefs. ..a-
Capt. Gen. Weyler has left Havana
for Mantanzas and the belief is ex-
pressed that the knowledge of the in
surgents of this intention on his part
led to the attack. 1t is understood |
that large bodies of insurgents have |
recently crossed from Pinar del Rio |
and Mantanzas and that the rebels en-
tering this province have assumed for |
proportions. Quintin and |
with 800 men, is among |
those who have come into the province |
from Mantanzas.

James Gerah Shot and Killed in the

Indian Territory.
NChickasaw, 1. T., July 30.-James
Gerah, well known sporting man,
from the Pacific coast, was instantly
killed by man named Willis Day, a
stranger here late last night.
Gerah was playing game of cards
with Day and the two became involv-
ed in a quarrel. Day drew his revolver
and shot Gerah through the heart.
John Aiken started to run through the
open door, and Day, apparently crazed
by excitement, shot him in the Shout
der and fatally injured him. Day ran
out of the saloon and is still at large,
but a posse are after him.
Gerah was at one time a partner of
Jim Corbett in Portland, Ore, and is
well known on the Pacific coast and
in Texas.

the administration of the law He said
that he had always been and was now
q friend of the civil service law. Presi-
dent Cleveland had, at the close of
his administration, made an enormous
extension of the classified service, plac-
ing about 10000 persons without eXami-
nation under its protection. Naturally
such action, so late in the last adminis-
tration, had put the present admins
tration under a great strain, but II IS
satisfactory to note said Mr.. Lodge,
that President Mckinley has bravely
and courageously dealt with the ques-
ton at the beginning Of his admins
trat1on instead of waiting until its con-
clusion as was the practice of his pre-
deceSSor. Mr. Lodge read extracts
from letter from the Hon. Carroll ID.
Wright, chief of the labor bureau, on
the expenses of conducting the census
office which were discussed at length.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Lodges re-
marks Mr.. Carter CRep., Mont), chair
man of the census committee, outlined
briefly the provisions of the proposed
bill. Mr. Carter indicated the desira-
bility of providing for the appointment
of the director Of the census and his
immediate aids as soon as practicable.
The measure, he desired it understood,
was purely preliminary In character
and made 10 provisions for the great
work of the census which would be
provided for in another measure to be
presented later.
81 will vote said Mr. Chandler ito
apply the civil service system to the
entire force Of the government. but
think that the system has been unwar-
rantably extended and made to include
persons who are not justly entitled to
protection
Mr.. Carter closed the debate by an
nouncing that he would press the
measure to vote as soon after the
holiday recess as possible.
The senate then, on motion OF Mr..
Quay CPenn.), went into executive ses-
sion and few minutes later, at 4:35
p. M, adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Congress-
man Jole Heatwole, of Mortified.
representative of the Third congress
sional district Of Minnesota, entertains
doubts Of the success of the policy Of
the administration concerning the an
neXation Of the Hawaiian islands. Mr.
Heatwole is member of the great and
powerful committee on foreign affairs
is within the range of possibilities that
he may become chairman of that COM
mittee; a distinction which has been
conferred by the senate upon the SEN
ior senator from Minnesota, Senator
Davis, who is regarded today as the
greatest international lawyer in the up
per house Of congress.
Congressman HeatWole, because Of
the circumstances of his exalted posi-
ton, has opportunities of learning in
side facts, and he has reached the con-
clusion that Hawaiian annexation is
exceedingly improbable.
Newspaper prints are always full Of
rumors, but the facts can only be
obtained in Washington from the men
who hold the positions which make
great problems translucent with intel
ligence. When a congressman becomes
a member Of the committee on foreign
affairs, he enters an atmosphere of leg
islation which Is superior, and he comes
into contact with men who make af
fairs. Therefore, the conclusion of Con-
gresham Heatwole on this important

amicable and satisfactory settlement of
the seal question.
PETTIGREW IN A PASSION.

Replying, Mr.. Pettigrew expressed
the opinion that the adoption Of the
amendment would result in the pre-
servation of the seal herd. He thought
that If England would not enter into
a mutual agreement for the preServa-
tion Of the herd, justice demanded that
this country should kill the seals, thus
finally disposing Of them. He thought
it would be more humane and little
mere troublesome to kill the entire 49,
900 than to kill the 10000 allowed.
Mr.. Spooner Wis.) asked Mr.. Petit
grew if he believed that Great Britain,
as a self-respecting nation, would enter
into an agreement if this government
should meet it with such threat as
that implied in his Pettigrew amend
mcnt.
Replying, Mr.. Pettigrew said the
United States had been trying for four
years to secure an agreement with Eng
land for the protection of the seals,
and had failed, England refusing to
even enter upon the negotiations. "For
one," he continued, II am tired Of
waiting upon England in this as In
other matters 1t is humiliating that
we should be compelled to do so not
only in the fur seal, but in Cuban and
financial ques ions, hesitating to declare
our independence, because Of England's
possible opposition. The only interest
England has In protecting the Span
ish interest in Cuba is that implied In
the fact that Lombard street holds
Spanish bonds This being the case we
can do nothing for suffering Cuba, un-
less Great Britain is willing. So it is in
financial matters, and thus 1t happens
that we must send commission to
fawn at the feet of the hook-nosed
Jews Of London to ascertain whether
they are willing that we should do
thus and so in the matter of our own
finances"
National pride and national honor,
he said, are opposed to further dfplo-
matte negotiations upon the seal ques-
ton. By the passage of the bill amend
ed, as he suggested, the fur seal In
dustry In London would be aroused
and bring to bear influences upon Great
Britain which might effect a proper
settlement of the question.
Mr. White (CaL) thought the passage
Of such law as proposed would be
unjust to our own people, unless assur-
ances are given that similar legisla-
ton is to be enacted by other coun-
course of his brief remarks, Mr. White
said it was evident that the foreign
relations committee was not so bellicose
as it was year ago, but he hoped that
it would not force the country into such
LEGISLATION as would yield any rights or
profits now enjoyed by American citi-
zens to the people of other countries.
