sIGAFUs' BONDS.
Attachment Issued Against Them
by Massachusetts Creditors.

CHICAGO, March 10.-It is likely
that ]. NJ Sigafus of New York will
have to wait some time before he gets
possession of the valise containing
SoO1,OOO worth of bonds and certificates
of deposit which was recently stolen
from him at the Polk-street depot and
afterward recovered by the police The
valise is in the hands of Well-Fargos
Express Company, and was to have
been forwarded to Sigafus, who is now
in California, but United States Marshal
Osborne has served the express COM
pany with notice to hold the papers I'M
til further orders from the Federal
Court.
When creditors of Sigafus in Haver-
hill, Mass, who hold a Judgment of
$500 600 against him, read of the find,
they Immediately notified their attor-
neys to attach the property. The judg-
ment against Sigafus was obtained in
Los Angeles after two years litigation
over the Good Hope mine, but no prop
lerty could be found on execution, al
though the creditors claim to have been
aware that Sigafus had a fortune in

NEW CoAL1NG STATIONS.
Their Location Not Yet Definitely
Decided Upon.

WASHIfJ1 y,t1N, March 1O.-Under
the nav sptdpriation bill the Bureau
of Elui sAis authorized to expend
$4OOOOOl s,s1hling stations at differ
emit points Fere they may be desired.
The location of these stations is wholly
in the discretion of the Secretary of
the Navy, but he will no doubt be
guided by the recommendations of Rear
Admiral Bradford Chief of the Bureau
of Equipment.
The Admiral has not yet made any
recommendations, but it is known that
he believes there should be some good
coaling depots at Manila and San Juan,
Porto Rico, also at Guam. Besides
these, he believes there should be a
very large coaling depot in the vicinity
of Shanghai, China, to supply the
United States vessels cruising in the
North China Sea, and in Chinese
waters. 1t is also probable that a coal
ing station and depot will be located
somewhere on the Maine coast There
and naval officers have reported the
need of one above that point. Ports
mouth, N. H., is being urged as such
a station, but some point on the Maine
coast seems to be preferred, which
can be reached easily by the large YES
sells of the navy. There is water
enough at Portsmouth, but the channel
reaching the naval station is somewhat
difficult for large vessels.

GOVERNMENT OF CUBA.
The Administration Contemplating
q Change in Some Features.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The Adj
ministration.is contemplating change
in some features of government Of
Cuba. 1t is probable that the military
government will. to a certain extent,
be replaced by civil government. The
head Of the Government must. of course,
remain military, but the change in con-
temptation is to have civil officers in
place of military men in the Cabinet
and subordinate positions.
1t is believed that experts in differ
ent lines, such as finance and revenue
and the mana cement of much of the
general business of the island and of
the different municipalities will ge.
along more smoothly than the army OFF,
GERS. 1t is said that the officers, be-
ing brought up under strict military
discipline, hold not the statutes, but
the army rules and regulations, as the
guide in all things, while the civilian
officers would hold the statutes as the
supreme guide, and endeavor to get
along under them in the best manner
possible, and with more diplomacy than
possessed by the army men.
1t is not known whether the con-
templated change has reached a point
further than discussed in the War De-
it's advantages have been pointed out,
and the authority of the Government to
establish such a civil government under
control of the military government has
been determined.

DOUBLE EXECUTION IN QUEBEC.
MRS. PORTER AND HER PARA
MOUR HANGED.
Both Had Confessed to the Murder
of the Woman's Husband at
St. Canute in 1897.

ST. SCHOLASTIQUE Quebec,
March 1O.-Mrs. Cordelia Poirier and
Samuel Parslow were hanged here to-
day at 500 a. m. Life was declared ex-
tinct in eight minutes, the necks OF
both having been broken
Mrs. Poirier, who said farewell to
her relatives last night, was firm and
collected throughout She took part IN
the mass held at O'clock this morn
ing, and on the scaffold shook hands
with the hangman without a tremor
The crowd inside the Jail jeered at her,
but even then her composure did not
desert her, and at the suggestion of the
executioner she turned and faced the
jeerers, and stood erect and prayed to
the last.
Parslow was more dead than alive
when the drop fell. %
The condemned We're taken to the
scaffold separately, and Were prevent
ed from seeing each other by screen
placed between them. Six hundred men,
who had remained up all night, wit
messed the execution. Outside the Jail
there were 1000 more, who tried to
batter down the gate of the Jail yard,
and could only be made to desist by
the provincial police firing their re-
volvers in the air. The behavior of the
crowd outside was such that enc of the
priests, Rev Father Meloche, had to
reprove them from the scaffold
Mrs. Cordelia Poirier and Samuel
Parslow, her reputed lover, were
hanged for the murder of Isador
Poirier the woman's husband, in 1881.
The crime was committed in the Poirier
home in ST. Canute, Quebec. Mrs.
Poirier, who was SO years of age, was
the organist of the Roman Catholic
Church at ST. Jerome, where Parslow
sang in the choir Both prisoners con-
fessed their guilt, each seeking to put
the blame on the other.
Mrs. PORTER was the third woman
of eleven condemned since confedera-
ton to receive capital punishment. The
two women who had previously suf-
fered the death penalty since confeder-
alton were Phoebe Campbell, hanged
at London in 1872 for cutting her hus-
bands throat with a knife, and Eliza
beth Workman, hanged at Sarnia.
year later for beating her husband to
death with a club. The sentences OF
eight of the eleven murderesses were
commuted to life imprisonment The
crime of six of these women was the
murder of their husbands.

SCALE AGREED TO.
Illinois Coal Operators and Miners
Reach Harmonious Conclusion.

SPRINGFIELD CID, March 10
The joint convention Of coal operators
and miners of illinois came to a har-
monicus conclusion to-day, with the
adoption of the agreement and scale
recommended by the joint scale com
mitiee The agreement ratifies the
Pittshurg agreement, with the under
standing that the miners are to remain
at work for the scale year ending
March 81, 1900 The machine differen-
tial is to be fixed by board of arbitra-
ton.
The scale of wages is substantially
the same as that in force last year.
The price at Virden and Pana, where
so much trouble has occurred, is left at
forty cents. The operators in the Vir-
den district, however, served notice
several days ago that they would not be
bound by the agreement. 1t is under
stood that the operators and miners in
that district will call upon the State
Board of Arbitration to fix the mining
price.
P1TTSBURG Pa.), March 1O-An-
other conference of the coal operators
and miners in the Pittsburg district to
arrange the local scale of wages for
the coming year was in session here to-
day. Indications point to an amicable
settlement without resorting to a
strike, as the New York meeting says
that so many difficulties had arisen that
it was doubtful if the combination
would be formed.

THE HoNGKoNG CONTRACT.
The Russian Minister Will With
draw His Protest.


PEKIN, March 1O.--The Chinese For
eign Office has received a dispatch
from st. Petersburg saying that as q
result of negotiations between Russia
and Great Britain, the Russian Minis
ter here will withdraw his protest
against the Hongkong contract, which
is identical with the Niu Chawang con-
tract
The Daily Graphic a usually well
informed newspaper of London, made
the following announcement to-day:
1.-The Niu Chwang loan contract crisis
has been amicably settled by a direct
exchange of views between the British
and the Russian Governments. The
Russian assurances are completely sat

ed, and the two Governments are ar
ranging scheme by which their rela-
lions in the Far East may be perna-
nently regulated"
The London Times in it's financial
article on February 1st, announced that
the Chinese 5 per cent. railroad loan of
S11, 100000 had been , arranged by
China with British syndicate, the
loan being secured on - the Chinese
Northern Railway. China, it was
added, had given Great Britain pledge
that these railroads would not be alien
ated to any foreign Power. 1t is appar-
emily against this loan, or its terms,
that Russia protested, the transaction
since becoming known as the Niu
Chwang or Hongkong loan. Niu
Cnwang is the Chinese port at the head
of the Gulf of Lao Tung, the port OF
Muckden, capital of Manchuria.
