Guilty of Murder.

Ration, n. M, Oct. S-Wflliam H.
MeGinnis, the train robber who has
been on trial for the murder of Sheriff
Edward Farr of Walsenburg, Colo,
was last night found guilty of murder
in the second degree.
McGinnis is member of the

with Sam Ketchum and one Franks in
a successful hold-up of a passenger
train on the Colorado & Southern near
Folsom, N. M, about two months ago.
posse of officers was organized and
overlook the outlaws in the canyon
near Cimarron, N. M, as the latter
were going into camp for the night A
pitched battle then ensued between the
deputies and the outlaws Sheriff Farr
was killed outright and James Love. a
deputy, was so badly wounded that he
died a few days later. One of the posse
was F. Hopkinson Smith, the cele-
brated author, who happened to be in
the vicinity and joined the posse
through love of adventure. Mr. Smith
was slightly wounded.
The outlaws suffered nearly as Sc
verely. Under cover of the darkness
they withdrew from the scene. but
day or two later Sam Ketchum, the
leader, drifted into the Lambert ranch
for food and medical attendance. He
was badly wounded in the left shOul-
der and was arrested without difficulty.
He was removed to the penitentiary at
Santa Fe. where he died a few days
later from blood poisoning.
A few weeks after the Cimarron
fight McGinnis was captured in Eddy
county, N. M, by Sheriff Stewart and
posse after desperate fight. in the
course of which one of the deputies
wasswounded. Franks made his es-
cape McGinnis was found to bear two
bullet holes in his body which had been
only recently healed over. This iden-
tity was esta bIished and pending trial
he was removed to Santa Fe. AS the
crime was committed in Colfax county,
n. NJ, he was placed on trial at Ration,
with the result mentioned.

SHAMROCK STOCK UP
Feeling in New York Thdf
Cup Is i'm Danger.
Even Her Owners -COnfcsfin0
Yachts Will Sail Every Day
After Thursday.

New York, Oct. S.-By mutual agree
ment between representatives of the
New York Yacht club and the Royal
Ulster Yacht club, the Columbia and
Shamrock will sail every day after
next Thursday until the question of the
international yachting supremacy is
established. The request for such an
agreement came from Sir Thomas Lip
ton, owner of the challenger.
Shamrock stock has taken another
rise. There is a feeling about town to-
night that the historic cup is in greater
danger than ever before. The more
yesterdays performance is considered
and discussed the less encouraging it
seems to the American yachtsmen. The
Shamrock is a wonder in light weather
That is settled beyond doubt by the
three days of drifting. She has sur
prised her own people and given other
people a great shock. She handles
splendidly and has men on board who
know how to do the handling. The
feeling of the American yachtsmen
that the challenger was entering the
races unprepared and untired has dis
appeared.

London, Oct. S.-Whatever may be

every department of the government is
as busy today as though actual hostili-
ties had begun. The electric flash that
announced the mobilization of the

Important news from South Africa
comes from Mafeking, where twice on
Saturday the British camp was

x GOOD PRESIDENT
Attends Church Three Times while
Chicago Celebrates.

Chicago, Oct S.-Sunday was not a
day of rest for President Mckinley.
The center of the citys festivities and
the one desired object of the numerous
committees and delegations, he was
kept busy from the time of the last
puff from his after breakfast cigar,
until the last benediction of the relig-
ious services which filled the day Dur
ing the afternoon and evening he at
tended three religious services; two in
the auditorium and one in the Quinn
Chapel, at which latter place he spoke
a few words of greeting to the enthus-
iastic colored congregation there as
sembled.
The crowds drawn here by the fall
festival again jammed the streets to-
day, though they were massed princi-
pally in the Illuminated court of honor
The police today decided that the
streets in the immediate vicinity of the
postoff1ce where the corner stone is to
be laid tomorrow by the president,
shall be absolutely free of pedestrians
and vehicles The people VIII not be
allowed to use the sidewalks, unless
upon imperative business. This is the
most stringent order ever given for the
control of holiday crowd.

RACEHATRED In CUBA
Leads to on Order Against
Flying the Spanish Flag.
Conviction and Imprisonment OF
Young julio SanguiIy and Two
Friends Showing AnfIpafhY Be.
tween CubanS and SpanlardS.

Havana, Oct. S.-Magistrate Pitcher
today rendered his decision in the case
of Julio Sanguily and his friends who
were arrested for hauling down a
Spanish flag at the Spanish Clerks
club. Sanguily was required to fur
nish cash security to the amount OF
5000 to keep the peace for a year. The
other two prisoners were required to
furnish security in the amount of $400.
In default of this security they will
be compelled to serve a days impris-
onment for each dollar. They decided
not to furnish the bonds and were
locked up. There is no appeal from
Captain Pitchers decision. Proceed
ings against the prisoners in a higher
court for the forcible entrance into the
club also were ordered.
Secretary of State Capote has pre-
pared an order. which he will submit
to Governor General Brooke, forbid
ding the flying of foreign flags on feast
days and Sundays anywhere except on
the consulates. The profusion of Span
ish flags infiames the Cubans, and
while the more sensible of them have
no sympathy with Sanguily there is no
doubt that an order like that proposed
by Senor Capote will tend to preserve
the peace, although loyal Spaniards
will protest vigorously against it.
The feeling between Cubans and
Spaniards continues very bitter. de-
spite the efforts of Senor Sagrario, the
Spanish consul general. to establish
good relations between them. The Gu
bans appreciate his services, but his
own countrymen display much enmity
toward him. The Discussion today pub
fishes a cartoon representing Senor Sa-
grario trying to quench the flames of
race passion with the aid of the Gu
bans, while the Spanish press is repre-
sented as feeding the flames with
threats.
The street car strike is a complete
fizzle The strikers attempted to get
back to work today, but the company
refused to employ them. All the new
hands will be retained, and the strikers
will have to seek elsewhere for work.

Manila, Oct. S.-Captain Cowles of
the Fourth infantry while reconnoiter-

hundred insurgents near San Nicolas.
After a brisk fight lasting three-quar-
ters of an hour the enemy was driven
off. In this engagement the American
casualties were four men slightly
wounded. Six of the enemy were killed,
but the number of wounded is not
known. The bad condition of the roads

the pocketbook still reposed in its ac-
customed place. It was but a few
moments later that Captain Gray had
occasion to feel for his pocketbook and
found that it had disappeared. He is
of the opinion that it was taken while
he was in the hotel lobby, though he is
not positive that it was. The lobby
was teeming with special detectives,
but in spite of this fact the captain is
of the opinion that it was while he
was in the lobby and nowhere else that
the pocketbook disappeared.
In addition to the money that it con-
tanned, there were several papers
which the captain would have pre-
ferred keeping. though they are of no
value to anyone else in their present
condition. There was also in one of
the compartments of the book a piece
of a Georgia battalion's battle flag,
taken at the battle of Antietam. Nat
urally the captain regrets the loss of
this also.

SEVENTY MEN RESCUED
Steam Yacht Townsend Arrives
with Alaskan Gold.

San Francisco, Oct. S.-The steam
yacht Townsend, owned by c. D. Lane,
a millionaire miner, has arrived here
from Cape Nome. She brought down
several miners who had with them con-
siderable gold dust. Captain Wicks Of
the Townsend made the trip to Kotze-
bue sound from Cape Nome in July
and rescued seventy of the men who
had gone there for the purpose of find
ing gold. They were on the point Of
breaking down from want of food AMI
proper clothing. and would undoubtel-
ly have perished miserably if Lane had
not sent his yacht to remove them to
Cape Nome. Eighty-three others wcre
taken to St. Michaels by the revenue
cutter Bear. Most of them had the
scurvy and many had lost their hands
and feet by being frozen. 1t is thought
that the men rescued by the Townsend
will recover in the milder climate of
Cape Nome.

BOERS OVERESTIMATED
Statement That They Can Raise Not
over $4,000 Men.

London, Oct. SIN an interview to-
day j. B. Robinson, a South African
millionaire, who claimed to speak as a
friend of President Kruger and the
Beers, ascribed the failure to reach
a settlement to the bad influence sur
rounding the president, the executive
council and the volksraad. He de-
clared that the burghers of the Orange
Free State were by no means unani-
nous in support of the TransvaaI, and
that if there was war there would
be rush of these burghers across the
Orange river into British territory to
escape fighting.
Mr. Robinson said that the fighting
strength of the Transvaal was grossly
exaggerated. Speaking from intimate
knowledge of the country. he estimated
the total force. including the friendly
Uitlanders, at $1,000 men, while the
Orange Free State could put only 1000
men in the field. In conclusion Mr.
Robinson declared that. the real and
only point at issue so far as the Trans
Vaal was concerned was suzerainty
President Kruger would willingly
grant five-years' franchise if Great
Britain would agree never again to
Interfere in the affairs of the Trans
Vaal; nothing else would satisfy him.

TO DETHRONE KWANG.

Victoria, B. c., Oct. 8.-The steamer
Olympia has reached here from Yoko-
hama with over 200 native and four
white passengers. Advices by eastern
papers state that arrangements for the
dethronement of the Emperor Kwang
Hsu are proceeding apace- The empress
dowager's choice has definitely fallen
upon Pu Tsuan, the 9-year-old son of
Duke Tsain Ian, to succeed Kwang
Hsu as emperor of China. This i'm
perial candidate can only speak the
Manchu dialect and knows no Chinese.
There are rumors that perhaps Russia
will have something to say before the
dethronement takes place, as Chinese
officials in Fang Tien have recently re-
solved that Russians are preparing to
send a large force to Pekin in a few
days.
