GREAT BRITAIN OUR FRIEND.
Positively Refused to Join In the Medt
alton Proposals of European
Powers.

LONDON, April THE statement
made by the press as to Great Britain s
refusal to join with the powers with
the mediation proposals advanced by
Baron de Courcel, the French ambassa-
dor, has been entirely confirmed.
The Austrian ambassador, Count
Deym, had a two hours conference
with the officials of the British foreign
Office on Saturday, endeavoring to in.
fuence Great Britain to join in the
scheme, but his efforts were entirely
Intellectual.
The ambassador at Washington, Sir
Julian Pauncefote, will participate in
no joint representations to the state
department at Washington unless first
assured that they will not be distaste-
full to the president.
The highest officials in London are
convinced that Spain designedly Jug
gled the facts of President McKinley's
connection with the pope's attempt to
mediate, in order to influence public
opinion in Europe against the United
States, using the Spanish ambassadors
at the capitals as the mouthpieces of
misinformation. This, apparently,
had the desired effect upon continental
opinion, but it had exactly the oppo-
site effect in Great Britain.

SCIENCE TOO MUCH FOR HIM.
An Alleged Bank Burglar, in the Light of
Scientific Investigation, Of
fers to Plead Guilty.

DIES MONIES, Ia, April s.-Prof. FLOYD
Davis, the chemist, has returned from
Missouri, where he has been making
an examination of money found on
the person. of Charles Martin, &C
cused of blowing open the safe of
the Farmers bank at Sheridan. The
investigation is for the local Bankers
Casualty Co. 1t was wished to ascer-
tain whether the money came from the
safe which was blown open by
nitro-glycerine. Prof. Davis says
the money bears every evil
dence of having come in contact
with gases liberated by explosive. No
marks are visible to the naked eye.
The alleged robbers clothing will be
subjected to the same test. The exam
ination has never been tried before, but
is being used with a view to prose-
cutting all future cases of similar
nature by the expert testimony of
chemists. After the announcement of
the result of the investigation, Martin
offered to enter a plea of guilty, pro-
vided the prosecution would agree to
ask that only the minimum penalty,
two years Imprisonment, be imposed.

An Organized Wagon Train.
A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER.
Two Men, Brothers, Shot Down by a Des.
peradO, Who is Afterwards Killed
in His Cell by a Mob.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, April 6.-Two
killings and lynching happened here
within three-quarters of an hour yes
terday. Sam Cobb, a deputy sheriff,
and his brother, Felipe Cobb, who was
a constable, were shot down by Carlos
Guellen. Guellen was wounded by Sam
Cobb.
1t seems that the latter was riding
hastily from an election booth, having
heard a row was in progress some
where near, and that Constable Cobb
and policeman were rushing along
after him on foot. At the corner of an
alley Guellen sprang out and fired sS
Sam Cobb, who returned the fire.
Both fell to the ground. Cobb then
rushed up and Guellen rose from the
ground and shot him twice, killing
him almost instantly. A young brother
of Guellen appeared at the same mo-
ment and shot Felipe. Both Guellens
were arrested, but the younger one
escaped in the excitement.
A mob at once gathered, broke into
the Jail and shot Carlos Guellen, kill
ing him in his cell. The body was
dragged forth into the street and the
crowd was going to burn it, but cooler
counsel prevailed, and the body was
taken back to the Jail.
The trouble grew out of a previous
quarrel between CULLEN and the Cobbs.
CULLEN was considered a desperate
character. He was convicted of assault
to murder at the last term of court, but
appealed. He had been in numerous
shooting scrapes.

"ACTION WITHOUT DEBATE"
The Strongest and Most Dignifed Response
We Could Make to Spain's De-
NAL of Our Demands.

WASHINGTON, April ct is generally
understood at the capitol that the
president will recommend armed in
tervention, but not the independence
of Cuba. The sentiment among re-
publican members of the house is
strongly in favor of both Intervention
and the recognition of Cuban indie
pendence, and that the Maine affair be
brought prominently forward in the
Some of the extremists want the
whole action of the United States
predicated on the blowing up of the
Maine. There is general desire among
the house republicans to prevent
divergence in two sets of resolutions,
if possible, and if absolute unity of
action can be obtained a movement
will be started to have the resolutions
passed IN the house without debate.
Action without debate" said Mr..
Tawney, of Minnesota, would be the
strongest and most dignifed response
we could make to Spain's refusal to &C
cede to our demands. 1t would show
that the house and the American peo-
pie are absolutely united.

GEORGE GoULD's LIBERALITY.
to the Omaha Exposition-Other
Liberal Donations.

OMAHA, Neb., April s.-Yesterday
George Gould, president of the Mis-.
souri, Pacific Railroad Co., visited the
exposition and was so highly pleased
with the progress made in construc-
ton work, and the apparent magnitude
of the undertaking, that he donated
$4,000 to the enterprise. This sum,
together with the money subscribed by
the trolley lines, makes the total sub
scriptions and donations of railway
companies S142, 500.
Wednesday the Western Uni on Tele-
graph Co, paid $4,000 into the exposi-
ton treasury and the Postal Telegraph
Co. paid 81 900.
A telegram from Minnesota states
the exposition commission has raised
$4,000 for building and exhibit. The
Missouri commission has raised $25,-
900.
Gov. John w. Leedy of Kansas, with
members of the Kansas commission,

CLEARED SHIP FOR ACTION.
Commander Schley Makes a Satisfactory
Test of the Guns of the Flag
ship Brooklyn.

FORT MONROE, Va, April THE
Brooklyn, flagship of the flying squad
ron, tried her eight-inch guns yester-
day in order to test the new elevating
apparatus designed to give them
greater range. The test was not made
solely to demonstrate the utility of the
apparatus, but also to see if the tur-
rets, after being so materially changed,
would stand the shock to which they
are subjected. The test, which was
under the direction of Commodore
Schley and Capt. Cook, was of a most
satisfactory nature, and Commodore
Schley said that the Brooklyn was in
the best of fighting trim.
At one o'clock yesterday afternoon
the order ''clear ship for action" was
given, and in So minutes every railing,
rope, capstan, anchor, small boat and
loose hamper of every kind had been
removed, and the big cruiser stood out
grim and defiant in the sunlight. The
guns used were the forward 8-inch
pair, and the firing was under the di-
rection of observation-disclosures Ma
son, with Lieut.. Rush in command of
the turret.
Commodore Schley and Capt. Cook
stood on the quarter deck to notice the
vibration of the turret, which after
wards was declared to be at mini
mum. The first shot was sent out with
a service charge of s. pounds of pow
der, the gun being elevated only five
degrees. The 200 pound she'll left the
muzzle of the gun at a velocity of 1000
feet second. 1t struck the water 25I
miles from the ship, sending up a vast
column of water. The second shot was
with the full powder charge, 10 pounds
and sent the projectile very nearly four
miles, putting it in the water at
speed of 1000 feet per second. There
was no perceptible Earring from the
shot.
Commodore Schley said last night
that he had not yet received any orders
from Washington.
The New Orleans and the San Fran
cisco had not been assigned him, and
the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius was not
ordered to his squadron.

AN EPIDEMIC MAY FOLLOW.
Physicians Fear a Serious Aftermath OF
the Shawneetown CIl.) In
undation.

SHAwNEETowN, Ill, April s.-Physi-
clans here fear that an epidemic may
follow the flood unless haste is made
to find and bury the bodies of victims
as also those of the live stock that er-
ished.
The work of searching for the bodies
is being pushed, though with indif-
ferent success.
The work of furnishing relief to the
victims keeps steadily moving, and nc
one is allowed to go hungry if he makes
his wants known.
Quite large amount of clothing has
eeen distributed, and there is abun-
dant opportunity for the giving out all
that can be provided, as most of the
refugees are in pitiable plight as re-
CARDS wearing apparel.

THE SHAwNEETOWN FLOOD,
The Living Being systematically Cared
for, and the Search for Bodies
of the Dead Begun.

SHAWNEETowN, Ill, April 7.-Search-
ing for the bodies of the dead in the
food began Wednesday afternoon. Up
to that time no attempt had been made
to recover them, every effort of the res
cuers being directed toward the suffer
ing survivors.
As the citizens become more calm the
estimates of the dead are cut down con-
siderably. 1t is now claimed that only
80 are known to be dead, although it
is expected that the list will probably
reach so, as at least 20 more are miss
ing.
The work of relief is progressing
rapidly. The immediate necessities of
the sufferers have been provided for.
The water inside of the town fell
ten inches Tuesday night. The weather
is clear and cold.
The property loss is estimated at
probably $1,000
Some instances of vandalism have
been discovered. Those caught in the
act are given the choice between leav-
ing the town and being lynched.
Armed men patrol the place in boats.
No list of the missing has yet been
made. Everybody is frantic to know
the exact number of dead.
Hundreds of people had thrilling es-
capes, and many owe their lives to the
GOODNESS, bravery and prompt action of
Frank Robinson, a druggist and hard
ware merchant, and Marsh Callicott,
who ran to boat when the first cry:
the levee has broken" rang through
the streets.
OF the 500 houses in the town, at least
$50, mostly small frame structures, in
the poorer portion of the town south of
the break, were destroyed. Every other
building in the city has been damaged
from SIS to SIS, 900.

DEATH UNDER A sNowsL1DE.
Thirty-One Bodies Recovered and Scores
Probably Yet Remain = Thou
sands to the Rescue.

SKAGUAY, Alaska, April 2, via Seat
tie, Wash, April AT about noon yes
terday, on the Chilkoot trail, between
the Scales and Stone house, at least 81
men met death and large number o.
others were injured more or less serl-
ouSly in Snowslide.
The dead were crushed under an ava
lanche of snow and ice, which came
down from the mountain side upon the
left hand side of the trail at Midway,
between the Scales and Stone house.
Fully so people were overtaken by
the slide and are either buried in the
snow or scattered along the borders OF
the avalanche in a more or less serious
condition.
The point where the slide occurred
is some five miles above Sheep Camp.
The nearest telephone station is four
miles distant. The telephones at this
point were carried away by the slide.
This fact makes it difficult to obtain
further particulars at this time.
A binding snowstorm was raging all
day upon the summit, and as Il conse-
quence many of those in the vicinity
were making no attempt to travel.
Sebarth, Sprague and Stevenson, of
Seattle, were travelling together as
partners, andwere found lying side by
side in bed.
Thousands of people were encamped
in the vicinity of the accident at the
time, and were soon upon the scene
rendering such assistance as possible.
Upon receipt of the news, points be-
low Dyea telephoned up to know if as.
sistance was required, and received an
swer to the effect that s, 900 people were
at work on the debris, and were only
in each others way.
All day Saturday and Sunday a
southerly storm, with rain, wind and
snow, prevailed in this vicinity, and it
is believed the softening of the snow
on the mountain side by these agen-
cies was the cause of the avalanche.
The quantity of snow and ice that came
down in the slide is estimated at thou
sands of tons. It swept directly across
the trail, which, notwithstanding the
fact that the weather was unstable for
travel, was thronged with wayfarers.
The last vestige of the trail in the
vicinity was wiped out of existence
and where it led is now mountain OF
snow and ice, under which are many
dead bodies that can not be recovered
for days to come.
There was preliminary slide at two
O'Clock in the morning. People were
digging up their goods when the sec
ond slide occurred about noon.
Latest reports are that 81 bodies have

hat the loss of life will reach 1Co
That number alone is missing and UzI-
accounted for, while it is positively
known that IS or so have persisted.
The property losses, to say nothing of
the damage to the levee and crops, will
reach over 100000.
The Gap Widening.
The gap in the Ievee is now over 100
feet wide, and gradually widening.
The water is from ten to fifteen feet
deep all over the town. With the con-
tinued cold rains, and the loss of life,
the suffering and sorrow are little
aoated.
