Victim of Interpreter.

New York Sept. 14-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: As a re-
suit of the investigation of the charges
made against DIR. Edward Bedloe, United
States consul at Canton, it Is stated that
he will either be ordered back to Canton
or be given another position In the con-
sular service equally as good as that he
occupied in China. The inquiry into the
charges submitted to the department
against DR.. Bedloe has extended over a
year.
The responsibility for DR.. Bedloe's trou-
BILE is placed entirely upon his Interpreter,
a Chinaman named Chung, who, fearing
punishment upon the discovery of his
crimes, fed to Macao. so as to escape the
vengeance of DR.. Bedloe and the Chinese
government. The complaint made against
the consulate by the Chinese government
was directed against Chung as well as DR..
Bedloe.
With relation to the charge that DR..
Bedloe issued fraudulent certificates. it
was said to-day that the consulate in this
case, as in others. was the victim of the
interpreter. Chung not only used a coun-
terfeit seal of the consulate, but is al
legged to have followed another method to
provide certificates to Cinnamon desirous
of visiting the states. He would select
an hour when the consul was busy and
bring into the office a Chinese merchant
or student intending to visit the United
States with the usual voucher and photo
and claim that the man there present
was the person who wanted to go to
America. After putting the usual ques-
tions and finding that the application
came within the law, DR.. Bedloe would
sign the previously prepared certificate.
Upon returning to his own Office Chung
would remove the photo, place another
picture on the certificate and sell it to a
Chinaman of the laboring class who de-
sired to go to San Francisco, dividing the
money with the Hoppos Yamen. which
gave permission the Cinnamon to leave
the country. Chung was also mixed up
in other matters for which the consul was
at first held to be responsible. With re-
gard to the Abbey case, the department
has decided that DR.. .Bedloe acted within
the regulations In granting a certificate
of ownership.

WAS THE BOY KIDNAPPED.
Mrs. H. e. Wright Believes Her
Son Was Stolen AWAY.
MOTHER is MUCH WORRIED
Her 1l-Year-Son Has Not Been Seen
for Two Days-He Did Not Like
School and Wanted to
Go to Work

Il believe that my boy has been kid
naped. l believe that he has been
stolen away by some man and that he
has been taken to Butte
So said Mrs. H. E. Wright of No. 4l2
Oak street when she called at the po-
lice station yesterday afternoon to in
form the officers that her boy, Orville,
aged II years, had left home on
Wednesday morning to go to school,
Police White was not there at the time,
Mrs. Wright told her story about her
sons disappearance to another officer.
She said:
"Orville, who is II years of age, at
tends the Lincoln school. He is not a
to go to work. He told me that he
would sooner work than go to school,
but I did not want it that way. We
never allowed him to be on the streets
after o'clock at night. He often told
me that he wanted to go to work in
the country where his father, who is
carpenter was employed.
"wednesday morning he left the
house just as the 10-minute bell was
ringing, and l told him to go directly
to the school. He answered that he
would, and that was the last ! have
seen of him.
THAT evening he did not return to
the house, and to-day l went out and
inquired for him, and was told by some
boys that he had been seen at noon on
Wednesday. l was informed by the
teachers that Orville had not attended
school Wednesday. A boy named
Tommy Troy told me that he had been
seen near the Ursulines academy on
East Third street, Wednesday after
noon. He was then getting on the
wagon of man who was going to Car
roll after wood. A boy named Walter
Fill and my son We're great friends,
but Hill says he did not see Orville.
This is the first time he has gone away
from home"
Mrs. Wright says that she does not
know of any reason why her son should
act this way. She says that if he has
gone to Butte he must have called on
Mrs. Kate Hughes of North Main
street, as this is the only person with
whom the Wrights, are acquainted in
Butte.

Is Not n Prophet,

Chicago Sept. 1T prefer to be an
accurate historian rather than an anna
teur prophet" With this terse bit of epi-
gram w. Bourke Cochran. ex-congrcss-
man and Tammany orator, dismisses at
tempts to draw him out on live political
topics of the hour and of the future. Mr..
Cochran came from New York yesterday
morning and was an interested attendant
at all three sessions of the trust confer
enCe. Pending the address he himself is
to deliver in Central Music hall to-mor-
row or Saturday his lips are sealed on the
particular subject with which the con-
vention is dealing On other issues he
declined to talk at length. He said:
Il share with my fellow countrymen a
variety of views on trusts and their de-
lights and evils, and l expect to accumu-
late more as the conference proceeds in
fact. the speech / am billed to make will
be based largely on the information / am
able to absorb from the previous discus
sion. The debate of the first days session
has been extremely interesting. The con-
ference will be productive of much light,
even though it attains no tangible results.
With such a representative exchange of
ideas such convocations in themselves are
an important factor in issues arising
from trusts. ! have nothing to say in an
ticipation of my set address What l
think and feel will be fully stated then.
Were the presidential contest of 1900
to be fought this week or this fall the
colonial question would undoubtedly
overshadow all others. 1t is the one to
which the American public's mind is most
strongly riveted a. this time. But much
can happen in a year, both to men and
measures. | am an eXpansionist. ] have
made speeches so declaring. but I am, on
the other hand. an anti-imperialst. At
the same time criticism of Mckinley is
not In order along these lines. for the
very good reason that as yet his policy is
unannounced. The democratic party has
campaign material issues, though l do
not want to express myself on that point.
l shall have something to say later on"

WITNESSED THE HANGING
It Is Necessary to See These
Things Says Sheriff Conley.
DAVIDSON WAS EXCITED
Allen Was Very Cool and Refused to Put
on the Cap-Spectators We're Nearly
Shut Out and the Hanging Was
Very Quick Work.

Sheriff John Conley returned last
evening from Helena, where he wit
messed the hanging of Joseph Allen
yesterday morning. That was the first
time that Mr.. Conley had attended q
hanging, and his opinion of it is very
interesting.
"Of course did not go there express
ly to witness this affair."" said Mr.. Con-
ley to Standard reporter last even
ing. Il wouldn't have gone there if l
hadn't had other business to attend to.
But then it did me no harm to attend,
for l don't know what may turn up
here and it is good to see these things.
They say that Allen was a very cool
man as he walked to the place. We
did not see him walk to the scaffold
and do you know that we came very
near not seeing anything. The guards
opened the door for us and no sooner
had we gone in than Allen went up.
There were about 100 spectators in
side the yard and we were all standing
around. Some were perched up on
their toes and many of those who were
in the yard did not see anything, as 1t
was so sudden. Just before putting on
the moose Sheriff Davidson asked Allen
If he wanted to put on the black cap,
and the latter answered that he did
not desire to put it on.
"At 6:07 o'clock sharp they pulled the
trap and Allen didn't struggle a bit.
His eyes were closed and his mouth
was open a little bit Allen shot up
about 40 inches above the loose and he
went up as straight as an arrow. Dur
ing the affair the knot had slipped from
the side Of his face to the back of his
neck. Just 10 minutes after the trap
had been pulled he was pronounced
dead and the doctor said that he hadn't
suffered at all. The rope was very
good and great precaution had been
exercised during the night so that moth
ing would go wrong. A large bag Of
sand had been attached to the rope all
night in order to take the stretch out
of it. The bag weighed 1S0 pounds, and
with this the guard had exercised the
rope during the night.
Sheriff Davidson did not do the work
himself, but had a man behind the en-
closure who pulled the trap. We tried
to see who 1t was, but we couldn't
learn from any one. Davidson was
badly ratified all morning, and espe-
cially so when he received a letter in
the morning written in red ink, upon
which was a picture of the devil with
the words: You'd do anything for
money, but you will meet your maker
some day. This letter greatly ratified
Davidson, but he went at his work all
right"

Mckinley Wont Interfere.

New York, Sept IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Not
withstanding the suggestions of Mr.
Bourke Cochran and others, President
Mckinley has no intention of proffering
mediation in the Transvaal dispute. Ac-
tion 10 a peaceful solution might be ta-
ken If congress had had an opportunity to
ratify The Hague convention, which
makes it the duty of neutrals to suggest
to the disputing powers that they sub
NIT the controversy to an arbitration
court. In view of the fact, however, that
these conventions have not yet been sub
mitted to the senate and of the further
fact that the trouble only indirectly con-
Germs the United States, while it is GER
tain to result in benefit TO American citi-
zens, the administration has decided that
it would be inadvisable to interfere.
Should the Boer republic and Great
Britain request the United States to me-
date, the president would be apt to ac-
cept Until they do, however nothing will
be done beyond the instructions already
given to the American consul at Pretoria
directing him to carefully watch devel-
opments and make frequent reports and
give all necessary protection to Ameri-
cans and their interests.

A FATAL WRECK.
Passenger Train Crashed Into Ca
boose.

boose.
Bakersfield, Cal, Sept. IA disas-
trous wreck occurred at Formosa late
last night. A northbound Southern Pa
cific passenger train ran into and tele-
scoped the caboose on the Porterville
accommodation train. The killed are:
MRS. MAGGIE MAJORS of Los An
geles.
A woman, supposed to be MRS La
RUE of PORTERVILLE.
The seriously injured are: Engineer
Keller, Fireman Wright, badly bruised
and scalded; track rider, who was on
the front end of the caboose, name un-
known.
The Porterville accommodation train
came in from Porterville and left the
caboose on the main line while the en-
gine and crew went in on the siding to
pick up some cars. The ladies who
were killed boarded the caboose as it
stood in front of the depot, and took
their seats. The engine and some cars
were just being coupled to the caboose
when the crash came. The heavy pas
senger engine tore through the caboose
as If 1t were cardboard, and the hapless
inmates were crushed and thrown aside.
The mail and baggage and express cars
were derailed and served to prevent the
heavy train from telescoping by acting
as a buffer to diminish the force of the
compact of the train against the mass
of wreckage in front.
The passengers on the northbound
train were shaken up and bruised by
the jar of the collision, and one man
had an arm broken. Engineer Wright
was badly scalded by the bursting of
the injector pipes, but he will probably
recover. The bodies of the women who
were killed were terribly mangled. The
disaster is attributed to the fact that the
caboose of the Porterville train was left
on the main track which should have
been left clear for the passenger train
from the south E..- -... ..

Outwitted the Lunatic,

From the Lancet.
While residing at Rome | paid a visit
to the lunatic asylum there, and among
the more remarkable patients one was
pointed out to me who had been saved
with much difficulty from inflicting
death upon himself by voluntary star
walton in bed, under the impression
that he was defunct, declaring thai
dead people never eat. 1t was soon OBJ
vious to all that the issue must be
fatal, when the humane doctor be-
thought of the following stratagem:
Half a dozen of the attendants, dressed
in white shrouds, and their faces and
hands covered with chalk, We're march
ed in single file, with dead silence, into
a room adjoining that of the patient.
where he observed them, through a
door purposely left open, sit down to
a hearty meal.
"Hallo!" said the would-be corpse to
an attendant, who be they?"
Dead men," was the reply.
What" rejoined the defunct, "do
dead men eat?"
ITO be sure they do, as you see," an
swered the attendant.

dead man, "Tll join them, for I'm fam
