SIAnESE SOLDIERS.
They Attack the United States Vice
Consul With Serious Results.

New York, Feb. 5.-The World prints
the following details of the attack
made upon Consul General KEEL
lett by Siamese soldiers, which has re
suited in complications between Siam
| and the United States:
Bangkok, Siam, Dec. pa letter
from Chiengma, 500 miles from here.
| in northern Siam, dated Nov. %, says
that place was then in a state of wild
excitement over an attack three days
/ before, on Mr.. Kellett, the United
| States vice-conSul, temporarily located
there on business connected with the
settlement of the Cheek estate.
| Mr.. Kellett sent the consular clerk,
! Nal Sye, to the poStoffice about 4
D. m. Nov. 10, with letters. Nal Sye
carried an ordinary walking stick,
while a servant carried a lantern.
No sooner had the two servants ar
rived opposite the barracks, than Nal
Sye was roughly accosted by some
Siamese soldiers, seized and taken
into the barracks.
The offense for which the clerk was
arrested was that of carrying stick
in alleged contravention of local laws;
The consular clerk protested and
called attention to the fact that he
was a consular servant, and that his
stick was a small ordinary walking
cane. These appeals were disregarded-
Mr.. Zurcher, of Berli & Co., was
passing the barracks and heard the
uncomplimentary remarks about the
"Consoon American"
Scarcely had dinner begun, when the
servant who carried the lantern arrived
and told of the arrest of Nal Sye.
Messrs. Kellett, Harris and Zurcher
Immediately went back to the barracks,
where Mr.. Kellett demanded to know
the cause of the arrest, and demanded
that the man be set at liberty, and that
his cane should be returned to him.
He was rudely refused, when all the
party walked out, followed by Nal Sye.
A few yards from the station, the
party was surrounded by an angry
crowd of Siamese soldiers, some Of
whom, without parley or the least
warning, attacked Mr.. Kellett with the
butte end of their guns, while others
brought their bayonets to the charge
and cooked their loaded rifles. Mr..
Kellett stood with his back 20 a wall,
doing what he could to defend himself.
but seeing the hopelessness of the stu
alton and fearing bloodshed, he re-
tired as best he could, accompanied
by Messrs. Harris and Zurcher. These
gentlemen had not been threatened or
attacked, the soldiers devoting all their
energies to Mr.. Kellett.
Nal Sve was carried back to prison
amid great rejoicing and expressions of
contempt objected against the Far
angi'' in general and the COnsoon
in particular. Later in the
evening, the Siamese commander Or
dered Nal Syei released and sent a
servant to inquire of Nj. Kellett's in I
juries. i
Mr. Kellett returned word - the |
that before receiving in
structions from Minister Barrett. at I
Bangkok, he could enter UPON no ne I
gotiations with regard 20 the insult /
and injury to him.

The Police Part of It.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-"The police part OF

prabably be intrusted to Bat Master
son, said a well-known sporting man
today. ANY one who knows Stuart,
he went on, "can tell you that he will
stand no interference from parties at
the ringside, and Dan is a man who
fears nothing.
Stuart has on his staff some of the
most noted men of courage, these hav-
ing in early days Of the wild west
shown bravery, tact and coolheaded-
ness under the most trying conditions.
One of Dams lieutenants, now resi-
dent of Chicago, once called down
carp, the referee of the Sharkey- Fitz-
simmons fight, and there would have
been blood galore but for the peace
making of Bat Masterson for Luke
Short and his famous shooters who
were arranged on either side.

Kansas City. Feb. 4.-Dan Stuart
made a flying trip from Dallas to
Kansas City last night to interview
Sorbett. He arrived at o'clock and
left at $3.50 again for Dallas. He drove
at once from the Union depot to the
Midland hotel, sent his card to Corbett,
went to his room, dined with him,
shook hands in the rotunda, after din
ner bid Corbett good bye and disap-
peared. Stuart would not talk further
than to say that he wanted to talk 10
Corbett about the coming fight, which
would certainly take place. Corbett,
however, was not SO reserved. He said:
Stuart came up to see me about train
ing in Nevada. 1t seems that reports
have been sent out or that he got word
some way that / intended to train in
California ana not in Nevada. He
wants Fitz and me both to train there.
I told him 1 was going through to Cali
fornia after l closed my engagement
here, but l had never had any idea of
not training in Nevada We had din
ner together, and I asked him to come
over to the show, but he said he was
going away"
Then you Will train in Nevada?"
L never said would not, and never
had any other idea. 1 guess they want
US both to train there. l understand
F'itz has agreed
Corbett seemed a little miffed that
Stuart had thought it necessary to
come all the way from Texas to see
him, about training in Nevada When
asked about the bill introduced in the
Nevada Legislature to limit tickets to
81, Corbett said it was ridiculous and
expressed no concern about it. He
takes it for granted that Stuart has
looked for such contingencies.
Stuart, it was admitted, was anxious
to secure Corbett's consent to train in
Nevada. It is said that he had practic-
ally promised that both he and Fitz-
simmons would train as well as fight
there, in return for the concession
granted, and he did not want any hitch
in the programme. Stuart will go
direct to Nevada after his return to

Nevada All Agog.

Reno. New, Feb. 4.-Nevada is all agog
over the location of the Corbett-Fitzsim-
mons mill.
Dan Wheeler was a passenger from San
francisco to Carson this morning. When
questioned as to the location he gave
eEas::e answers, saying that Dan SA,rt
would arrive from Dallas in day or two
and then the claims of the various towns
would be looked into. Carson seems to
be the place. A location has been picked
out already and building can be started
Immediately. The citizens claim that as
their delegation in both houses of the
legislature worked tooth and nail for the
bill their claims should be looked into.

A discovery of wonderful interest to
the followers of the Darwinian theory
of evolution was made not long since
near the little village of Sinaloa, Mex
leo, while workmen were preparing the
ground of a new coffee plantation.
This wonderful chronological find con-
sisted of hundreds Of skeletons of what
some believed to be prehistoric peo-
pie of a very low order of intelligence.
Each of the skeletons is provided with
the bones of a long, thick caudal APP
pendage, which in life turned up. like a
squirrels tail.

match ''Pedlar' Palmer against George
Dixon at lie pounds, for $4,000 or less

O'Rourke, for $4,000 a side and what

George can get to 116, and after his

Indiana Peniteutiaries Make n Trade
of Inmates.
IRlli anapolis, Ind, April 2. The Indiana
reformatory law, which makes a reforma-
tory of the prison at Jeffer sonville, went
into effect today. Two trains were run
through the State from Jeffer sOnville to
Michigan City and vice versa, one carry
ing 36S prisoners convicted of murder
and the greater crimes to the Michigan
city penitentiary and the other taking
291 prisoners convicted of MINOR crimes
to the sout hern reformatory, where the
length of imprisonment will hereafter de-
pend solely upon behavior.
There were many fearful scenes at the
prison south when the convicts were made
aware of the transfer Many pleaded to
be allowed to remain in their old home,
where some had spent from twenty to
twenty-five years of their lives. One
aged convict, dying of consumption, was
loaded into the train and it was feared
that he would not live to reach Michigan
City.
At the mort hern prison the announce
ment of the transfer was received with
cheers and wild demonstrations on the
part of the convicts. The prisoners were
shackledint wos, the shackles were riveted,
and thus they flew through the State
at terrific speed, while militiamen stood
guard though the coaches Stops were
made only to take water.

The PulDit and Humanity.

In sermon preached in the city OF
Washington on Sunday. April 1, 1897 the
Rev. T. Dewitt TaImage is reported as Of
fering these two propositions:
First-Cuba will one day be free, but it
will be after she has shown herself capable
of free government. To acknowledge Cuban
independence now would be to acknowl
edge what does not exist
Second-The time may come when the
Hawaiian islands may be part OF our Gov
ernment, but IL will be when they have
decidedly expressed the desire for anneSa-
tiOn.
AS, for present purposes, the second
proposition is Of minor Importance, we will

for ann eX alton, on the partof the Hawaiian
government and people, DR.. Talmage wants
before giving his assent to the project
The people OF Hawaii accomplished a sue
cessful political revolution, dethroning a
frightfuily debauched aud lately cannibal
native family, with that single purpose in
view; and the republican government erect
ed by the people has been pleading for an
gentleman suggests some additional express
sion he may have in mind the plebiscite
which Mrs DOminis asks President McKin-
ley to compel by force and arms; knowing
that { he result of such a submission would
not represent the unfettered will of the
people but would be controlled in the fl
nancial interests of the sugar trust, for
the perpetuation of coolie labor slavery on
the islands. Either DR.. Talmage does not

formation upon cannIbal and sugar sources
His Hawaiian opinions need revision.
The first proposition is far more seri-
Gus matter, as far as DR.. Talmage is con-
ccTned, as a teacher Of morals aud religion.
His verbal attitude toward the Cuban ques-
ton does not strike US as being either in
genuous or at all worthy of MIN. In asslim-
ing it he appears to set up man Of straw
the vital and the only issue which ought
to interest him as faithful believer in
and eXpositor of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
The question of recognizing the eindepend-
ence of the Cuban republic is not before
either Dr.. Talmage or the Government of
the United States at this time; hence it
is superogatory to say that to acknowledge
it now would be to acknowledge what
does not exist" The burning question
presented TO this country, to Christendom
and to all humanity, the reverend doctor
apparently excepted, simply Is: Shall we
allow the Spaniards in Cuba to perpetrate
upon brave people strugglingfor the bless
ings Of freedom, almost within 81 ght of our
shores, atrocities more horrible than ever
were perpetrated by the same prosecutors
in the Netherlands, or by the Mohammedans
in Bulgaria and Armenia? Shall we with

girls at public auction on the plazas of
