Scion of Scotch Peerage Found
Dead in st. Louis.

st. Louis, Mo, Oct. 5.-Hon. William
Strut, aged about % years, son of Lord
Belper of Kingston Derbyshire, Eng
land, and nephew of the Earl of Dun
more, a Scotch peer, who is a lord in
waiting to Queen Victoria, was found
dead in the bath tub in his apartments
at the West End hotel at a. m. today.
His body was entirely submerged in the
water that filed the tub. The last seen
of the young man was at o'clock
Monday afternoon. 1t is not yet known
what caused his death. The remains
have been removed to the mOrgue to
await the inquest.
The remains were discovered by Her
man Alweise and Lottie Piper, man and
maid servant respectively of the young
man, who occupied a suite of apart
ments on the fifth floor of the fashion
able West End hotel. From its cOndi-
ton the body must have been in the
tub for some time.
The hotel people were Immediately
notified and the coroner took charge OF
the remains for the purpose of learning
the cause of death. The countess of
DunmOre, who is stopping with friends
in the city, is an aunt of the dead man.

nothing could be learned from her con-
corning Mr.. Strut. She attended the
Yelled Prophets ball last night.
Deceased came to this city August Is
and took apartments at the hotel where
he died. He was here apparently on a
pleasure and sightseeing tour, and not
very much was known about him.
a prominent citizen with whom the
deceased dfned recently is of the Opin-
ion that Mr.. Strut died of heart dis
ease. The young man, he said, was
travelling for his health and he thinks
the shock received in taking a cold bath
had a fatal effect.

FORM OF GOVERNMENT
For Five Civilized Indian Tribes is
Now in Course of Preparation.

Washington, Oct 5.-As the result of
a conference at the interior department
a code of regulations governing the
retirement of the Curtis act to reorgan-
ize Indian Territory is now in prepara-
ton. The regulations will deal with
mineral land leases, maintenance of
schools, allotments of lands, etc, and
will constitute a quasi territorial gov
eminent over the five civilized tribes.
Indian Inspector J. Wright, Will be
placed in charge of the administration
OF the law representing the secretary of
the interior and being practically vested
with the functions of a territorial gov
ernor. 1t is also likely that the Indian
agent for the five civilized tribes may
act to some extent in the capacity of
treasurer for the collection of funds,

AGUINALDO TURNED DOWN
The Pressden Declines to Recognize
His Representatives.

Washington, Oct. 5.-A report is cur
rent that the insurgent representative,
AgoncillO, who recently arrived in this
city, had been refused recognition by
the president. 1t was impossible, how
ever, to obtain from any authoritative
source information in the subject.
Agoncillo and his interpreter, Lopez,
visited the state department, where they
had an interview with Assistant Secre-
tary McAdee. Previous to his visit to
the department Agoncillo, it is learned,
had received from his government at
Malolos the instructions which he had
been awaiting here for some time and
which came only after three separate
requests for them had been cabled to
the insurgent government.
Mr.. Lopez, in speaking in behalf of
his chief, refused to make any state
ment bearing on the report that the
insurgents are not to have any recogni-
ton before the Paris commission, but
would only go so far as to admit that
the instructions awaited by Agonci1o
had been received. The agents ar
rangements, while yet incomplete, con-
template his departure for New York
during the present week. Thence he
will go to Paris, but just when he re-
fuses to say.

AN ISLAND SWEPT AWAY.
Reports of Disasters From the Re
cent Hurricane Still Coming In.

Savannah, Ga, Oct 5.-Complete de-
tails of the work of the hurricane from
Brunswick and surrounding country are
impossible, because of the prostration
of the telegraph and telephone systems.
Campbell Island, twelve miles from
Darien on the AItamaha river, is said
to be completely swept away and only
three persons succeeded in getting off
the island There is no definite infor-
nation as to the population of the ISL
and and estimates of the number sup
posed to have persisted there range from
twenty to fifty.
The population was made up wholly
of colored truck growers.
Four deaths are now reported at

ANOTHER DEADLOCK
Is on in the Oregon Legislature in
Senatorial Matter.

Salem, Ore, Oct. 5.-The legislature
will ballot at noon today in joint ses-
sion for a United States senator. It is
unlikely that an election will result
from the ballot, as the opposition to
Corbett has not agreed upon a candi-
date and the probability is that the Sc
Corbett men will support their candi-
date for several days yet. Out of the 80
members of the legislature, 6S are Re
pubIicans. The Republicans were elect
ed on a strong gold platform and it is
entirely improbable that one not known
will be chosen for the senatorship
Both houses yesterday voted in sepa-
rate sessions. The vote resulted as fol-
lows:
House-H. w. Corbett %; NJ c.
George 10; George H. Williams 4; E. S.
Eaken 8; A S. Bennett DemocraD Is.
Senate-Corbett 10; George 6; Will

AS 46 votes are necessary to a choice,
there was no election.

VOTING IN GEORGIA.
Citizens Will Ratify Democratic Nom
nations ct the Polls.

Atlanta Ga, Oct. 5-A full state ticket
will be elected in Georgia today The Of
ficers from governor down were chosen by
the Democrats at the primaries two
months ago, and as there is no opposi-
ton of consequence, the election is but a
necessary compliance with the law. The
Gambler, is opposed only by the Popuhsts,
whose leading man is James r. Hogan,
nominated in place of Thomas z. Watson,
who declined to run.
The governor received a telegram from
Sheriff Black, asking for 3 company of
militia to preserve order in Early county,
where the contest will be bitter. The gov
ernor is out of the city. but the state Of
hcials think the sheriff is unduly exer-
cised.
The Australian ballot will be used for
the first time III the state today.

DEATH OF PARTY.
Gold Democratic Organization Ceases
to Exist in Kentucky.

Frankfort, Ky, Oct. 5.-The National or
Gold Democratic organization, from mea-
ger reports of registration in Kentucky
towns, seems to have practically lost its
identity as a party in this state.
Senator Lindsay and nearly all the lead
ers of that party, as well a ma Ority of
the rank and file, registered as Democrats,
discarding distinctions, such Gold"
and National Democrats" Reports from
everywhere show light registratio as
compared with 1886 and last year, and the
GoebeI election law, which received its
first practical test, seems to have given
no cause of complaint to either side.
