SWINDLED IN MEXICO.
Americans Buncoed in q Fake Mining
Deal.

City of Mexico, Feb. 1.-Another
bold swindle has been brought to light
here by which New York business men
have been swindled out of $21, 900. It
appears that last autumn an American
giving the name of Frederick P. Gra-
ham, claiming to be half brother to
the criminal lawyer, John Graham, of
New York, and married to grand
niece of Sir Robert Peel, persuaded
three or four New Yorkers to go into
phosphate mining in the state of Oaxa-
ca, reporting that very rich phosphate
was on the market, and that he con-
trolled it. Graham further represent
ed that he had organized here COM
pany known as the Mexican Phosphate
Mineral Company, and when the par
ties were taken into the concern
Graham was made treasurer and presi-
dent. Recently two parties from New
York came here to inspect their prop
erty, and now they find that there is
no phosphate, and that Graham has
fed with the cash, which had been de-
posted to his order in the bank of the
city of Puebla. Graham played the
game very bodily, representing that he
was in close touch with the highest
and could bring influence to
protect the property, and in case other
things were wanted, they would be
forthcoming. The police are sure
Graham is one of the gang who swim

Frozen Bodies of Mother and Daught er
Found Near Burlington.
Burlington, Ia, Feb. 1.-The dead
and frozen bodies of Mrs. Fanny Rath-
barn and her 12-year-old daughter
Mary were discovered this afternoon in
pools of blood at their lonely home
west of this city. The woman's head
had been split open with an ak. The
body of the child was found in bed
room off, the kitchen with the throat
cut from ear to ear. Evidences of a
horrible struggle for life were present
ON all sides. Evidently the girl had
been brutallv assaulted by the MUIR
derer, and her torn clothing indicated
she had fought desperately for her
honor. Having accomplished the deed,
her assailant had cut her throat. The
girls hand showed cuts received in at
tempting to defend herself. Blood was
scattered all over the bed and on the
floor. The body of the woman was
found to be badly eaten by rats, and
presented horrible sight.
Several arrests have been made, and
the police are actively engaged in run

lieved the crime was committed several
days ago. The woman was widow Of

PILOTS FIRST TRIP.
Wreck of the Cor ma Said to Have Been
Due to Carelessness.

Seattle, Feb. 1.-Twenty-f1ve Of the
passengers of the Inflated steamer Co.
roma, which was wrecked on Lewis
island last Monday morning, arrived
here tonight on the steamer Al-Ki,
which rescued them from the lonely
island. E. w. Pollock, who was
passenger, on the Corona, in describing
the wreck said:
"The accident occurred at 9:10 A. M.
in the morning. The gong had just
sounded to awaken the passengers for
breakfast, and about 100 of them had
already risen. Captain g.. H. Pierce
and Pilot H. F. Coffman were on the
bridge. 1t was Coffman's first trip as
pilot. There was light enough to see
the shores on all sides. Suddenly,
while the ship was going at full speed,
without warning a terrible shock oc-
CURED, followed by grinding success
sion of lesser shocks. Instantly it was
realized the ship had struck a rock,
and scene of great confusion followed.
The wheel was reversed, but the ship
remained on the rock. Thre sea was
calm. Captain Pierce ordered the
boats lowered. The women were taken
ashore first, and by 10 O'Clock the pas
sengers were all landed. The stock
and. some baggage and provisions were
then taken ashore. The passengers re-
mained on the island until Thursday,
patiently waiting for passing steamer
to take them away from a place of
great personal discomfort. Thursday
the steamer Al-Ki arrived, and 200 of
the castaways boarded her. About 100
remained on the island in the hope Of
catching north bound vessel.
''About 10 O'Clock Thursday night
the Al-Ki met the steamer Oregon,
bound from Portland to Dyea and
Skagway. The two steamers were
lashed together and all but 25 of the
Corona's people were transferred and
started north again.
1t is not believed that the injury to
the Corona is serious.
Pilot Coffman, who was on duty at
the time of the wreck, tells the follow
ing story:
'tThe directions on the chart say to
steer direct from Gibson's islands to
the northwest side of Kennedy's island.
In this water there are no soundings
marked On the chart less than seven
fathoms of water, and seven fathoms
is only found at the extreme end of
Lewis island, close to the shore. The
soundings taken all around the ship af-
ter the accident ranged from to 10
fathoms, with the exception of where
the ship struck, which was only 2 q
fathoms.
''It is 6 q miles from Gibson's island
to the northwest side. I kept the
ship due northwest for II minutes af
ter passing Gibson's island, and then
altered it to northwest by north.
Seven minutes later she struck"
Mr.. Coffman declares that he fol-
lowed the directions laid down, and
that he is not to blame.
Against Pilot Coffman's statement
that he was on the correct course is
Steamer Pilot Thompson's statement,
who went off duty at 4 O'Clock the
morning of the accident. He says
that the reef upon which Coffman ran
the ship is well known among marin
ers, and that she was two miles out
of her course. He characterizes the ac-
cident as sheer carelessness.

DYING BY HUNDREDS.
A narrowing Tale Comes From the
newfoundland Coast.

A Narrowing Tale Comes From the
Newfoundland Coast.
New York, Feb. 2.-The Red Cross
line steamship Portia arrived today
four days overdue from St. Johns, N.
F., and Halifax, after a desperate en-
counter with a pack of ice off the New
foundland coast, and with narrowing
tale of billiards and destituion in the
coast section of that country. Hun
dreds of men, women, and children
dead or dying from exposure and star
vation with abundance close by and
hundreds more threatened with a like
fate are the conditions reported by the
Portia.
The Portia was penned in by huge
Arctic foes in plain sight of st. Johns
unable to move. She managed to es-
cape by the merest accident.
Many other craft, several Of them
relief vessels sent by the Canadian
government to succor destitute fisher
men. had to abandon their errands of
mercy and return to St. Johns, where
they were still in the ice when the Por-
tia struggled into clear water.
Among the detained feet at St.
Johns were dozen or more sailing
vessels loaded with Goldfish for England
and Brazil.
The city of St. Johns was in terri
BILE condition on account of the bliz-
zard, the streets being rendered impas-
sable. Railroads had suspended work
and the poor were suffering through
hunger and cold. The price of food
advanced until beyond the reach of
the poor.
Several miles off shore the Portia
passed the steamer Grandland, fast in
the ice, and in perilous condition.

DEFEATED IN THE HOUSE..
The Teller Resolution Buried by Ma
jority of Fifty Votes.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The house to-
day buried the Teller resolution, de-
claring the bonds of the United States
payable in silver, under an adverse
majority of 500 votes. The Repub-
licans were solidly arrayed in
opposition, with two exceptions-Lin-
ney of North Carolina, who voted with
the Democrats and Populists, and
White of North Carolina, the only col
ored member of the house, who an
swered "present, when his name was
called. The desertions from the Demo-
cratic side were McAleer of Pennsyl
vania, and Elliott of South Carolina.
Both voted with the Republicans
against the proposition.
Speaker Reed, although it is not GUS
tomary for him to vote, had his name
called, and, amid the cheers of his fol-
lowers, went on record in opposition to
the resolution.
The vote was reached after five hours
of debate, under special order, adopt
ed at the opening of the session today.
The limited time allowed for debate,
and the pressure of members for an
opportunity to be heard, was SO great
that the leaders on both sides were
minutes This detracted much from
the continuity of the discussion, but it
in some measure intensified the inter-
est in the galleries, which were crowded
all day, and the com batants on the floor
were cheered by their respective SYM
pathizers. Many of the senators from
the other side of the capitol were pres
ent to listen to the arguments. The
majority, under the leadership of Ding
ley. who made a carefully prepared
speech, sounded the keynote OF the op-
position, assumed the position that the
last clause of the resolution was in
reality disguised declaration for the
free coinage of silver, while the assault
ing Democrats, under the direction of
Bailey, maintained that the defeat of
the resolution was another step in the
direction of the establishment of the
gold standard, to which he alleged both
the president and Secretary Gage had
irrevocably committed the Republican
party.
The debate was at times fast and
heated, DuI Inere were no seIlSdIlonal
incidents, beyond the Kissing of Rhea,
when he said that, as the author of the
"crime OF 49," the hottest place in
hades would be reserved for the present
secretary of the state.
The vote on the resolution was:
Ayes, 1872; noes, 1872.
Today's session of the senate lasted
six hours. two of the general appropria-
tion bills-that for the army, carrying
s23, ,243, 492, and that for the legisla-
ture, executive and judicial depart
ment, carrying $21,65s, 520-were
passed, the latter, consisting of 121
pages, occupying the attention of the
senate during the greater part of the
session. After brief executive ses-
sion the senate adjourned.

GENERAL ARANGUREk SHOT
Was Surprised Near Camp by
a Spanish Battalion.
FIVE OTHERS WERE CAPTURED
The Generals Body Carried to Havana
Spaniards Killed Four and Wounded
Several Others.

Havana, Jan. 31.-At noon, Lieu
tenant-Colonel Benedicto, with the
Spanish battalion, surprised, near
Tapiste, this province, the camp of the
insurgent general, Aranguren, killing
Aranguren and four privates, capturing
five of the insurgents and wounding
others who made their escape.
The body of Brigadier- General Aran-
guren was brought by train to Havana
this afternoon and delivered to the
military authorities. After identified
tion it was sent to the morgue.
rigadier-General Aranguern was
evidently about 20 years of age, of fair
complexion, with blonde hair and
small mustache. The body, which
shows two bullet wounds, one in the
head and one in the right leg, is dress
ed in cashmere pantaloons, gray wool
en- coat, yellow shoes and CATERS, com
paratively new. 1t is said that the
CATERS and vest once belonged to Col
onel Ruiz, the aide-dc-camp of General
Blanco, who, having gone last Decem-
surrender, was executed by Aranguren
or with his approval.
According to one account, Aranguren
was surprised while on visit to a
young woman on the Pitata farm, be-
tween Campo Florida and Tapiste. He
was wounded, and, in trying to es-
cape, was shot dead. Among the pris-
oners is the father of the young wo-
man. He was the dynamiter of Aran-
guren's band.

SNOW LOCOMOTIVE SCHEME.
MIR. Glover Explains in Chicago the
Plans of His Company.

Mr.. Glover Explains in Chicago the
Plans of His Company.
Chicago, Jan. 31.-George T. Glover,
an inventor, has solved the problem oi
getting supplies into the Klondike reg.
ion this winter by means of his snow
traction locomotive. Seven of these
locomotives are now building in Chi
cago and New York, and 80 freight and
passenger cars will be built at Port
land, Or, for this work These will
be at Dyea by February 15 for Dawson
City over the Dalton trail.
'tThe locomotives that are now being
constructed for this Klondike trip
said Mr.. Glover, Twill weigh about
eight tons each, half the weight of the
logging locomotives. Their capacity
will be about 100 tons burden respec-
lively. find that an eight-ton ma
chine will do the work and run easier.
These locomotives are practically ready
now for shipment to Portland, where
they will be assembled and then ship
ped, together with 80 cars to Dyea.
Here they will be put up and placed in
readiness for the expedition which
leaves that point February Ii for Daw-
son City, in charge of Captain Brain
erd, of the United States army.
''Chilkat pass will be the greatest
obstruction encountered on the first
trip. There is no part of the pass,
however, that presents grade greater
than 80 per cent. These locomotives
can climb such grade readily. Each
machine will have steam windlass
attached and by means of this the train
can easily pull itself up at remarka-
BILE speed. 1 calculate on getting over
the pass in less than 48 hours with the
first train. The way once open SUBJ
sequent travel will be easier.
''The cost of building and equipping
these trains will be less than $780, 900.
Each locomotive will cost about
$4,000. The cost of the passenger and
freight cars and their transportation to
Dyea will not exceed $1,000.
"On reaching Dawson City four of
the locomotives will be used in trans
porting supplies and passengers to and
from the various points and villages
located in the Klondike gold fields.
The others will return and make an
other trip before the winter in Alaska
is over"

CAUSED BY BRUTALITY.
Sailor Taken OF the Stetson a Raving
Maniac.

Portland, Or, Feb. Aft the story
of John Burke, who came around the
Horn on the American ship Geo. Stet-
believed, the officers of this ship are
guilty of the most barbaric cruelties
that have been reported at this port in
many a day. The Stetson arrived at
Astoria with cargo of coal Thursday,
being "a days out from Baltimore,
where she took on cargo. Captain
Murphy is in command, and George
Harvey is first officer.
The victim of the brutality of the
officers, and especially that of First
Mate Harvey, is seaman named Amos
Stone, son of wealthy jewelry mer-
chant of Boston. Stone is said to have
been taken off the Stetson at Astoria, a
raving maniac, having arrived at this
condition as a result of the treatment
he received on the voyage.
"Stone was singled out as the special
object of Harvey's brutality soon after
we left Baltimore,'' said Burke in
narrating his story. Harvey, for
some reason, knocked him insensible
with an iron top maui, and as the rest
of us feared we would be treated like
wise we were at the point of turning
back four hours after we left port. AS
soon as we saw what had happened,
we scampered up the masts to turn to.
The mate, however, informed the cap
tain, who bullied US into remaining
with the ship.
Stone, as a result of the injury he re-
ceived, was laid up for some days, dur
ing which time he was given but little
to eat. AS soon as he had recovered
sufficiently to venture out and report
for duty, Harvey kicked him off the
forecastle. From that time on Stone
was unable to leave his cabin. He
was starved and beaten almost daily
and by the time we reached Astoria he
was skin and bones and raving man
lac. AS we were rounding the Horn,
where the seas were very bad, Harvey
would open the door of Stones cabin
SO as to let the water in to soak his
clothes and bedding. l have also seen
Harvey open the door to Stones cabin
and with heavy leather strap beat
him until big welts stood out on his
legs and back. Stone, who was al
ready losing his reason, would not
vince under this scourging and stood
like statue, without saying word in
remonstrance. An effort was made to
obliterate the marks on Stones body
before the ship reached Astoria, but
without success. and he will carry the
marks with him to the grave. During
much of the time that Stone was
cooped up in his cabin he had nothing
but refuse to eat and the place was the
most foul smelling l was ever in. He
was abused like dog even during the
time he was in irons. 1t made me sick
to look at him, even as accustomed as
am to see displays of brutality on the
high seas" ,"
- Burke's story is corroborated in ev-
cry detail by Ernest Weyl, Ira Dierks
and Charles Russell, three others of
the crew.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER..
Trade Conditions in the Leading Cities
of the World.

Last week was very important one
in the Chicago wheat market. May
wheat advanced cents per bushel and
January IS cents. Statistics were all
in favor of high prices, but the main
feature is the Letter corner. He
claims to be able to put May wheat to
$l.25. The exports from both coasts
to Europe were very large-5, 11O, ,624
bushels, and the visible supply showed
very good decrease. The foreign
news situation is as bewildering as it
usually is on wheat. Spectators have
their eyes on Argentine, not because it
contributes so much, but because it
sells SO furiously the 25,000,000 BUSH
els it has to contribute. The English
men at Liverpool learned something
during the week to make them nervous
about the South American supplies,
yet direct Rosario cables reported moth
ing more serious than a cessation of de-
liveries because of rains, and the Ar
gentine shipments for the week were
328,O0 bushels, a big start SO soon
after harvesting. The -four people
talked dolorously of the demand and of
the demoralizing effect of the corn
adulteration going on; and then, to
make this as puzzling as every other
feature, Minneapolis reported 10000
barrels of flour sold in two days. The
winter wheat condition so far is high,
and recent heavy SHOWS have minim-
lied the danger for the present. Ex-
ports keep large, and new purchases for
foreign account small. The movement
from first hands is away over any ex-
pectation, but the supplies of contract
wheat everywhere are in such few
hands as to be unavailable and in most
markets at startling premiums. Janu-
ary wheat at New York for few min
utes was IL cents cash at Chicago and
IL cents over the May price at New
York All of which should be new
proof that no one can tell very much
with any certainty about subject
which involves the supplies and needs
of the whole world.

Victoria, B. c., Feb. 2.-Last night
Superintendent Hussey, of the provin-
cial police, and several other officers
went out to the American ship John A.
Briggs, in Royal roads, and brought
ashore a man named Haines, who was
about to be taken to Australia as an
able seaman against his will. Haines
says that he was drugged and taken
aboard the ship. Two bluejackets
were also taken from the ship.
The crew of the Briggs deserted her
while she was loading, and the captain
is having difficulty in getting men in
their places.
