A BRIGHT KLoNDIKER DEAD,

New York, Oct, 1S.-Henry Tucker,
of Troy, N. Y, whose death is reported
in the Associated Press dispatches
from the Klondike, was a son of Henry
O'Reilly Tucker, proprietor and editor
of the Troy Press, and the circum-
stances connected with his venturing
into the gold regions complete with his
death a pathetic story. He was a
young man of frail constitution, but
indominatible purposes, and he start
ed for the gold fields on two days
notice to his parents. He had been do
ing editorial work at Troy and politi-
cal work in the legislature at Albany.
With the money he had saved he in
tended to go to Europe or else for a
two months vacation in Maine. He
suddenly decided to go to the gold
fields, but his father would not give
his consent.

LUETGERT'S PLANS.

Chicago, Oct. 1S-Luetgert has fin
ally decided on his plans if he is ac-
quilted. Instead of exhibiting him
self in the middle of the vat about the
country as he had contemplated, he
expects, it is said, to purchase an in
terest in a downtown saloon or open
one himself if a prominent location
can be secured and the vat, the steam
pipe and the great Dane dog will be
exhibited as a sort of sideshOw, while
Luetgert passes out the beer over the
bar. While getting ready to open a
saloon, Luetgert will exhibit himself in
some local museum if he can find n
manager willing to pay his price.
Luetgert now demands $1,000 a month

U. S. CONSUL ASSAULTED.

New York, Oct. 1S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres, Argentina,
says:
Telegraphic advices from the Her
AIDS correspondent in Rio Jeniero,
Brazil, state that a servant in the en-
ploy of Mr.. William T. TOwnes, the
United States CONSUL in Rio Jeniero,
made an unsuccessful attempt to muir
der the consul general.
Mr.. Townes' assailant has been plas-
ed under arrest. Mr.. TONNES was ap-
pointed consul general to Rio Jeneiro
from Virginia, on April 8, 1898, by Pres
ident Cleveland, President Mckinley,

pointment of Eugene Seeger, of Illi-
nois, consul general in Rio Jeneiro to

NO ARBITRATION TREATY.
John Bull Must Take TIE Initiative
Now

Now.
New York, Oct. 1S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Unless the British foreign office
presses the negotiations n connection
with the general arbitration treaty the
matter will not again be taken up by
this government.
Neither the administration nor the
British foreign office has during the
last three months shown any DISPOSE
ton and expedite the matter. Depart
ment officials declare that Great Brit
ain must be the one TO revive the SUBJ
ject, If ii is to be revived at all.
A cabinet official says that the pres
'ident is still DESTROYS of securing A
treaty of arbitration with Great Brit
ain. Mr.. Mckinley hoped that more
interest would be taken by Great Brit
ain in the matter than she has display
ed so far. The action Ia the Behring
sea matter in withdrawing from the
proposed conference in which all the
interested powers were 20 participate.
Had the general arbi ration treaty
negotiated by the Cleveland admins
tration been approved, the controver-
sy in regard to seals could probably
be reconsidered by such a tribunal as
proposed by the convention. Lord
Salisbury would also be pleased to have
the treaty in force, for then he could
permit the sealing question to be ar
bitrated and point out to Canada that
she was bound by the convention to
take such action. Now, however, the
negotiation of general arbitration
treaty might be considered by Canad-
ians as indicative of a desire of the
Salisbury government to play into the
hands of the United States.

TO STOP FILIBUsTERING.

New York, Oct. 1S.-A Herald Spec
ial from Washington, says:
Commander r. B. Bradford, chief of
the bureau of equipment has suggest
ed to the navy departments that tor
pedo boats be employed to prevent fill
clustering. Commander Bradford
found that vessels of the draft and dis
placement of the cruiser Montgomery
and gunboats Wilmington and Nash
Vile were awkward to handle among
the Florida keys and could not enter
indentations in the coasts where expe-
ditions were forming.
1t is the opinion of officers on duty
III the department that filibustering
could probably be entirely prevented
by torpedo boat patrol.

district in which the nomination of the
two was absolutely equivalent to an

pense whatever, but might go to Eu-

Mr.. George quotes the speech he
made to his followers in his headquar-
tiers in 1886 and continues:
After eleven years 1 have accepted
nomination to stand for mayor of
Greater New Yory on the same princi-
pies stood for then. But l do not
think that the people of New York will
be again frightened with the idea that
if elected 1 would destroy society and

laws people can neither be frightened
from voting for me, nor votes, after
they are cast stolen from me-"

GEORGETOWN BUDGET.
Farmers Organize a Little Trust
Amount of Rain,

Georgetown, Tex, Oct. 1S.-(Special)
About twenty farmers met yesterday
in North Georgetown and organized a
Texas Farmers Cotton association.
George Anderson was elected president
and Joe Foster secretary. The object
of the association is to hold cotton and
not sell except by orders, to pay no
money rent and not pay over 40c per
100 for picking.
The association starts off well and
great many new members will join.
Total amount of rainfall Saturday
and Sundey 2.52 inches. Cotton was
nearly all picked out, and what is left
is spotted, necessitating going over
the field two or three times. Rain
has damaged this and very little of 1t
will be picked over again. Cotton
picking in this neighborhood for 1897
is practically over.

The Luetgert Trial Augmented by
Eight Other Tribunals Opening.
Collisions Galore.


Chicago, Oct. 1s.-The ninth week OF
the famous Luetgert trial opened this
morning with the greatest rush yet
seen at the Criminal court building. 1t
was known that today would be the
closing day of the great trial and that
States Attorney Denan would make a
speech. Thousands Of people formed in
line before the criminal court building
as early as o'clock in the morning.
To add to the crush of the crowd eight
other courts opened their doors this
morning, and the October grand jury
began its session. Jurors were called
to serve upon the grand ury and petit
jury, and hundreds of witnesses in the
different courts crowded the corridors.
1t was wild mob and there were num-
erous upelasant collisions between the
bailiffs and the turbulent people.

AUTONOMY WILL GO HAND IN
HAND WITH RIGID WAR
MEASURES.
No Idea Of Self Government Is Enter.
tained-It Is Expected That Gu
ban Patriots Abroad Will Fall
Into Line With The SugeS-
tiOnS Of The Spanish

New York, Oct. 1S.-A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
Marshal Blanco has started for Cuba
to begin the work of pacification.
No money will be spared to buy off
the chiefs of the insurgents or to make
their departure from the island easy,
though all such proceedings will be
denied officially.
The new governor general has been
given full power, subject to certain in
structions, part Of which have been
kept secret, even from most of the
members of the cabinet.
The reserve instructions cover all
international aspect of the Cuban
question, especially SPANS relations
with the United States, the treatment
of American citizens in strict observ-
ance with the treaties of 1855 and 1877
with the United States, respect for
foreign-owned property and possible
the submission of the insurgents. Such
negotiations, according to the time
honored precedents of Spanish civil
wars, even on the peninsula, will be
conducted behind the scenes If entered
into.
The marshal has devoted whole
week to long interviews with the queen
regent, Premier Sagasta and the min
listers of war, of marine, of foreign af-
fairs and of colonies.
The government affects to consider
the state of insurrection in Cuba now
to be like what it was in 1878, when
Marshal Campos used the same de-
vices, coupled with promises of reform
and amnesty, together with vigorous
military operations, to close the first
great rising. Gen. Blanco is likewise
equipped to bring about pacification
by every means possible.
The military operations to be push
ed on a large scale in the eastern pro-
vinces of Santiago and Puerto Prin-
cipe from November to April, will be
seconded by the underground work of
the autonOmists.
Gen. Blanco is authorized to assure
the CubanS that the instituting of re-
forms more liberal than those contri-
buted by the Abaruzza bill of March,
1895 of the Canovas bills, will depend
upon the rapidity and the complete
ness of the pacification, which is in
despensible for the sincere execution
of economic and administrative home
rule, which, however, is not intended
in any event to go as far as Canadian
self-government. Spain does not
deem an absolutely independent col
onial parliament and executive COM
patible with the condition of the colony
and her own interests and sovereignty,
as the majority of the autonomists are
said to be disposed to account home
rule in installments.
Minister Moret seems to believe that
autonomists abroad, like Giberga and
others in France, and the autonomist
leaders in Cuba, will be excellent aux
iliaries in bringing back many of their
people who were driven into rebellion
by Capt. Gen. Weyler.
He came to Madrid to see Premier
Sagasta and Minister Moret.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Ex-Mayor Hew-
lit, on Friday on his return from Eu-

in a manner to provoke a hot reply
from Mr.. George, in which he said:
Before you or 1 had been formally
nominated in 1856, I received a request
from william Ivens, then chamberlain
of the city, and close political repre-
sentative Of Mr.. Grace, at that time
mayor, and head of the Democratic
organization known as the county De-
mocracy, to privately meet him. This
did in a quiet restaurant in Lafayet-
te place. Mr.. Ivens insisted that 1
could not become mayor of Greater
New York, no matter how many votes
were cast for me, and offered, on be-
half of Tammany Hall and the county
Democracy, that if 1 would refuse to

and canal companies and the German
chambers of commerce and lumber
firms, with a view to importing lum-
Der from Canada instead of the United
States. The paper suggests that Ger
man capital might be introduced into
the Canadian timber trade and the
foundation laid that would lead up to
an actual treaty.

THE LYNCHERs GRABBED.
Indiana viii Prosecute The Whole
Company.

| Company.
Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 1S.-The de-
velopments of a sensational character
are expected in the investigation into
the Versailles lynching, and it is said the
governor is well informed regarding the
participants in the tragedy, in which
five men were cruelty beaten and after
ward hanged and he now has no hesi-
fancy in proceeding against them. Ar
rests are expected in a few days.
The leader of the mob has been
known ever since the lynching occur
red, but recent Investigations show
that agents of the state have secured
the names OF several others and the
names also of many who were privy
tc the affair, if not actual participants
in it. The attorney general is in scon-
slant communication with the agents
of Ripley county and the evidence has
been carefully gone over by that off,
cial and is regarded as certain to re-
suit in convictions.

It is we'll enough to pension
those old soldiers who are disa-
bled by wounds received during
the war /; but when there are
o4o5 more pensioners on the list
than there were survivors, ac>
cording to the war records, then
it is full time to cauterize the
heads OF the Hydra. The cause
of all this fraud lies in the fact
that no party has grit enough
to stand against that ever weak

is no purity and little principle
in politics. And now some loon
of Congressman proposes to
pension all employees after they

The conditions are such that

from the unhappy island say
that the suffering is great and
widespread. there being not
only lack OF food, but there is
sickness to an alarming degree.

medicines and other donations
can be forwarded to Consul
General Lee, at Havana. and all
articles now dutiable by law
which are SO consigned will be
admitted into Cuba free Of duty
The Cubaus are among our
near neighbors, and their lot
has been severe one. The ap-
peal, therefore, should not GO
unheeded. Surely i'll the midst
of plenty we have something to
spare for this distressed people
