Washington, Jan. 25.-The Mexican

according to the notice given by the
Mexican government. Its LAPSE finds
remarkably small number of fupi-

at the state department, Santiago
Morphy is the only Mexican fugitive
now at large in the United States. He
made sensational escape from the
chief of police in New Orleans inst
one day before the treaty expired. In
Mexico there is one American. James
iemple, who is technically a fugitive
from justice, and against whom extra
oltlon proceedings are now in progress
the charge being unlawful homicide.
and in his case there is reason to he
heye Mexico may grant extradition.
Inc hiatus following the lapse of this
extradition treaty is deplored by both
parties, and on each side an earnest
disposition is being shown to replace
the old treaty with a new one to be

LIGHTS OUT.
Park Theatre Audience Plunged in Egyp-
tian Darkness.

There was a period of gloom at the
performance at the Park Theatre last
night that was not down as one of the
features of the unusually bright show
that is on the boards there this week.
The main fuse of the electric lighting
system blew out just as the Fake and
Semon comedy musical turn was on and
the house was in darkness deeper than
that Of the prehistoric age.
Fake, with his green suit and pipe
flute, was clever enough to entertain the
audience until the trouble was remed-
led. The friction gas lights for emergen-
cies of this kind were all but ready and
will be in shape today for any occur
renee of a similar nature.
To be sure they are not frequent, but
when the lights do go out it VIII be only
a second in the future before the house
is aglow with the light from many gas
Jets.

COMEDIES A POINT.
NJ. G. Holman's Name Placed on Re-
publican Ticket For Park
Commissioners.


The trouble caused by two or three
members of the Republican committee
attempting to teach the business men
of Topeka a lesson in petty partisan
politics has been partially cleared up.
The name of M. G. Holman has been
placed on the Republican ticket in place
of that of Edward Wilder, who declined.
S. H. Downs, who participated in the
meeting which nominated the park COM
misSionerS, has refused to withdraw, so
the ticket stands: IN. A. Low, NJ C..
Holman and s. H. Downs" This leaves
P. I. Bonebrake off the ticket.
1t is possible that before evening this
may also be adjusted, but Mr.. Bone
brake is out of the city and can not be
consulted about the matter.
The officers of the. meeting which
nominated Mr.. Low, Mr.. Bonebrake and
Mr.. Holman have issued the following
statement, which is a concise history of
the controversy:
1.-THE Commercial club has been at
work for nearly a year to devise some
plan for public parks for our city, and
the action taken from time to time has
been unanimous. James A. Troutman,
Col T. w. Harrison and S. H. Downs
were appointed a committee to inveS-
tigate the subject, which they did, and
reported on December IA, 1898, recon-
mending a plan. The report was unani-
mouSly adopted and the committee in
Structed to prepare a bill along the line
of their recommendation. This they did,
and it was introduced as senate bill No.
2 and passed both houses and is now a
law. The publication of the law was
unavoidably delayed until this week,
and prompt action had to be taken,
otherwise the election of a board Of
park commissioners would be deferred
for one year. 1t was naturally conceded
that the law being the result of the eff
forts of this club, the wishes of the
members would be regarded in the Sc
lection of the first board and that poll
tics would not enter into the election of
members, who serve without pay. In
pursuance of this policy, a meeting was
called at the Commercial club rooms
last Tuesday evening, public notice be-
ing given through the daily papers. The
meeting was called to order in the usual
way and Messrs. M. A. Low, P. L. Bone
brake and NJ. c. Holman selected. The
selection was made with regard to fit
ness and location, one member living in
the southwest, one in the central portion
Of the city and one in the First ward
Politics was not thought of, although
it transpires that all three of the men
selected are staunch Republicans.
I'm view of the work done by mem
bers of the Commercial club and the i'm
portance of absolute harmony in the
election of the first board, we respectful
ly ask your committee to endorse the
nominations made on Friday evening
and certify them to the city clerk as
the nominees of the Republican party"

ARMY REGISTER FOR 1899
Doesn't Show That Anything Has
Happened to Eagan.

New York, March PA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Interesting facts about the army ere con-
tanned in the army register for 1899. pub
lished today by the war department.
The new register still places Brigadier
General Eagan at the head of the com
missary department and no mention of his
military punishment appears in the vol
ume.
The regular force sustained a loss of 20
commissioned officers killed in action, six
died as result of wounds received in ac-
ton, 10 died from other causes and one
was dropped.
There will be a great deal of criticism
throughout the army at the omission from
the new register of the list of those who
have received medals of honor and the ex-
position of the reasons which induced the
president to confer breVet rank upon many
officers.
There is no change in the list of major
generals of the regular service, but in the
list of brigadier generals the name of
General Guy, V. Henry is inserted he hay

quence of the retirement of General j. ].

MORE LYNCHIN GS.
A Jury Finds That Victims
FrOZe to Death.

Texarkana, Ark, March 24.-Details
of the wholesale lynchings reported to
have occurred in Little River county,
Arkansas, are slow in coming in. Three
more dead negroes have been found in
Red River bottoms near Rocky Comfort,
Ark. Two of them, Joe King and Moses
Jones having been hanged or shot to
death The third body was stripped en-
tirely naked when found. A justice of
the peace held an inquest over these
bodies today and a verdict was render
ed by the jury declaring that the men
had come to their death from natural
causes, or were frozen to DEATH.
The verdict is regarded as a gruesome
joke.
There is some doubt as to where these
lynchings occurred. it being near the
state line and was either in Little River
county, Arkansas, or in Bowie county,
Texas. The inquest was held by a
Texas justice of the peace.
Joe King is one of the negroes who
was whipped by a crowd of whites Wed
nesday near Comfort Just after the
lynching of Duckatt, a constable went
to Kings and told him that Duckatt
had been lynched for the assassination
of Farmer Stockton. King replied that
he knew all about the Stockton killing
and said that the farmer ought to have
been killed sooner and also intimated
that others would be killed before the
matter was settled. A crowd of indig
and took him to the woods where he
was thoroughly whipped and released.
1t is not known where or by whom he
was afterwards strung up, but he no
doubt fell into the hands of one of the
lynching parties that were organized
after the plots of the negroes to start a
race war were unearthed.
John Johnson was whipped by the
same crowd who took him in hand, and
as he has not been accounted for since
| it is believed that he met his death at
| the end of a rope somewhere in the
vicinity of Red river.
Many sensational reports are reaching
| here today from the scene of the dis
| turbance. One report states that the
| whites are still out in organized posses
| hunting the leaders of the negro revo-
| lutionary plot with the avowed intention
! of stringing them up wherever found
| Another reports states that the negroes
| are recovering from their panicky ter
| rOr and are securing arms and threat
| ening vengeance on the whites.
| General Duckatt, the first man
| hanged, was a power among the negroes
! and had many followers. A colored man
who arrived here today from Winton
says that every negro in the neighbor-
hood of Rocky Comfort and Richmond
has left his home and is afraid to re-
turn. A large number of them have
Texas. He says that more negroes have

Chicago, March 24.-The dead body of
a man with his skull beaten in and the
body covered with bruises was dis
covered today in a refrigerating car on
a side track at the stockyards. The
authorities are inclined to the belief
that the man was murdered in some
other city and then sent to Chicago in
the car. From appearances the man
has been dead for about a week. He was
IS years of age and apparently is a
miner. The car in which the body was
