WASHINGTON March 3O-It was said by a
Senator who called President Mckinley to-

Administration was taking no part in the alleged
purchase negotiations. He said that this may
be talked Of in NewYork and by NewYork

any bonds Cuba might issue.

HARRY oxLEYs eoaFESSES.
Emma Gill Preferred a Criminal
Operation Than Marriage.

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 26.-The
complaint against Oxley and Guernsey,
in the Emma Gill case, was changed to-
day from attempt to procure an abor-
tion to that OF manslau=hter. Guern-
sey is out on bail, but Oxley is still in
Jail.
1t was learned today that the brother
of Harry Oxley, who visited him at the
jail yesterday, took into his confidence
friend in this city, and told him the
substance of a confession alleged to
have been made to the police by the
arrested man. The brother said that
when Harry was arrested his mother
told him to tell the whole truth in the
case, and this is his story:
Emma Gill told me of her condition
and told Guernsey, and the latter told
me to marry the girl, if l felt sure the
reseOnSibility was mine. / went to
Emma Gill and expressed my willing
ness to marr.y her, but she said this
was entirely unnecessary. She knew
DR.. Cuilford, and that she could cure
her of her trouble by an operation, and
she would get out of her trouble that
way. she did not wish to marry me
because there was another fellow Cos
teri who wanted to marry her and did
not know her true character He would
make her better home, she thought,
than l could, and considered him bet

Wyoming Goldbugs's Cold Reception
at Rock Springs.
Especial to The Herald,


Especial to The Herald)
Rock Springs, Wyo., Sept. 26.-The
opening of the Republican campaign
here in Sweetwater county this even
ing was far from a brilliant success. A
very small audience was present in
the opera house to greet the speakers
that had travelled far to entertain a
Rock Springs audience, and IS per cent
of those represented will not vote the
Republican ticket this fall.
The ball was opened by Judge knight
telling the audience that he had been a
resident of Wyoming for q years, but
he did not say that most of that time
he had fed at the public crib, nor did
he explain his decision on the supreme
bench that cost the people of Wyo-
ming $1,000.
Next Mr. Leroy Grant said he had
been a member of a half dozen legisla-
lures in Wyoming, after which Frank
w. Mondell told the people that he
would again like to go to congress,
even though he was repudiated two
years ago. He omitted to inform his
small audience whether he was draw
ing public money as assistant land
commissioner while stumping the state
of Wyoming for the Republican party.
The cold, clammy reception given the
great Republican leaders here in Rock.
Springs this evening only proves that
the Republicans are not making any
interest in politics this year, and that

ingly Democratic.

ground was the Erie county delegation
and the gubernatorial boom for Justice
Robert G. Titus was among the earli-
est TO be launched here. Mayor James
K. McGuire's friends are naturally nu-
merous and enthusiastic in his home
town.
All the Tammany delegation have not
yet arrived, but there are a sufficient
number here to keep the talk of Mayor
Van Wyck's candidacy before the pub

set back tonight when members of the
Erie county delegation announced that
Mr.. Croker had stated to them that the
candidate for governor would not be
named from territory south of Albany.
Mr.. Croker has stated from the be-
ginning that Tammany Hall had not
and would not have a candidate for
position on the state ticket.
The first gubernatorial candidate to
arrive here was Congressman William
SulZer. The next to arrive was John
B. Stanchfield of Elmira, who reached
here at o'clock tonight.
Elliott Danforth has not arrived at
late hour tonight, but his friends are
here in large force and his Autographs
are conspicuously displayed about the
city.
Speculation as the probable head of
the ticket obscured all other candidates.
Tonight no one dares to predict the
nominee for governor. Much depends
upon the vote of the Tammany Hall
and Kings county representatives, and
the impression prevails that the vote
from the lower end of the state will be
thrown to the country candidate who
develops the most strengthen the con-

Sandherr. Beside the French minis
try, others had the Dossier in their
hands
.In December, 1894 a detailed report
of the DreyfuS affair, which Count Won
Munster sent by the usual course to
the kaiser, was intercepted and photo
graphed at the French frontier Yet it
reached the emperor without delay a
few days later. This fact became
known TO the information bureau at
Berlin and Germany ordered Count Won
Munster TO demand his passports, for
the ofIense was regarded as robbery
and an offense to the emperor, on the
principle of extra territoriality. When
Count Won Munster made this demand
at the palace of the Elysee, President
Casimir-Perier was overwhelmed with
the suddenness of the revelation and
was beside himself. In an extraordinary
scene he gave his word of honor, repu-
dating all connection with or Enowl-
edge of the affair and solemnly prom
ised to prevent a repetition of it.
Count Won Munster issued and sent
a report of this interview. This docu-
ment was similarly intercepted and
photographed, the negative arriving at
the French foreign office within rs
hours.
Some days later, on Jan. u, 1895,
Count Won Munster called at the palace
of the Elysee and suddenly announced
that Germany would mobilize her
troops forthwith unless satisfaction
was given for this new insult dra-
matte scene followed. Count Won Mum
ster collapsed, a prey to violent feel
ings, reproaching NJ. Casimir- Perier
with having dishonored him in the eyes
of the empire. NJ. Casimir-P Perier was
crushed and could not reply at first,
but presently said: Tell your emperor

PLACER GOLD EXCITEMENT.
Fabulously Rich Discoveries Reported
In Northern California.

Medford. Ore. Sept. 26.-The greatest
mining excitement ever known in north
ern California has been caused by a rich
strike claimed to have been made in the
Siskiyou mountains. ore mile from the
Jackson county line, in northern Cali
fornia on what is known as Sterling
Butte. William Angle and Jordan Brown
are the alleged discoverers. They came
TO Medford last night, claiming to have
30 pounds Of gold dust. They say they
have been prospecting for about six weeks
and struck the pay dirt two weeks ago.
They have taken out about so pounds of
gold and are very enthusiastic as to fu-
ture developments.
The mine is said to be 1900 feet above
sea level. The altitude will make il i'm
possible to work more than few weeks
longer this. winter but it is likely that
hundreds of people will be in the vicinity
within the next few weeks.
