M'KINLEY EXPECTS PEACE.
He Thinks the Fflipfnos Will Not
Hold Ont Much Longer.

WASHINGTON, May 2-President Nc
Kinley talked with his official callers before
the Cabinet meeting to-day about the pros
poets of peace in the Philippines 1t Is be-
lieved that some advices from General Otis
have been received. enlarging upon the
propositions which were submitted by the
Filipino delegation. which have not yet been
made public, ana which give the officials adj
ditional information concerning the situa-
ton. The President expressed the opinion
that the end was in sight, and said he be-
lieved that the Fflipinos will not hold out
much longer. He regards the conditions as
most hopeful.
The fact that negotiations for peace are
in progress has stopped all talk OF calling
out the 5000 additional volunteers. Ar
rangements are being made at the War De-
partment. however. to expedite the trans
port OF reinforcements TO General Otis as
much as possible. but owing to the unfore-
seen obstacles 1t has been found necessary
to postpone the departure of the transport
Sherman. which will be ready to sail for
Manila on the 23d INST. The Sixth Infantry
which was 10 have started from San Fran
cisco on the 5th inst, will not be able to get
away until the Sherman is ready TO sail.
That regiment. as we'll as the Sixteenth In
fantry. is in the vicinity Of San Francisco,
and viii start across the Pacific as soon as
transports available. General Corbin
said to-day that no change had been made
in the plans OF the department regarding
the sending of reinforcements to the Phil
ippines to take the places of the volunteer
troops who are TO be brought home. and
that, so far as he knew, the orders for the
movement of the Nineteenth Infantry from
Porto Rico TO Manila, after short stop at
Camp Meade, Pa, will be carried out.

overtures for peace, Col Manuel Argue

sition, the Journal says. was the same as
that heretofore made. namely-an armistice

render. General Otis declined. the dispatch
says, and told Colonel Argueleses IL was

DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE.
r. G. Hayes Eelected Mayor Of Balti-
more by Nearly 1900 Majority.

BALTIMORE. Nd, May 2-One of the
most exciting campaigns in the history of
Baltimore city resulted to-day I'm a Demo-
cratic landslide. Thomas G. Hayes was
elected mayor by nearly nine thousand ma
jority over William II. Malster, Republican,
the present incumbent, while his running
mates, Skpwith Wilmer, for president of
the second branch of the City Council, and
James II. Smith. for controller. were chosen
by practically the same figures. In addition
to these candidates at large the Democrats
elected all of their candidates for the sec
ond branch Of the City Council and eighteen
of the twenty-four members Of the first
branch. There are several theories being ad-
vanced by the Republican leaders and 9TH
ers to account for the surprising results of
to-day's contest, but the one most generally
accepted is that those Republicans who do
not indorse the Malster administration
voted the straight Democratic ticket, in
stead of staying away from the polls.

COL. FUNSTON PROMOTED.
Appointed Brigadier General of Vol
unteers by the President.

WASHINGTON. May 2-The President
has appointed Col. Frederick Funston. of
the Twentieth Kansas. a brigadier general
Of volunteers. This appointment was recon-
mended by Major General Macarthur and
supplemented very strongly by-General Otis
In cable dispatch received yesterday Gen.
Macarthur said that the services OF Colonel
Funston during the campaign, and especial
ly in the crossing of the Rio Grande river,
deserve recognition, such as his promotion
to be a brigadier general: also. that as
leader of troops, Colonel Funston was espe-
cially valuable. The President recognizes
the services Of Colone. Funston. and his
first official act upon returning TO Washing
ton was to make him brigadier general.
The cable which General Otis sent yester-
day says: Macarthur strongly recon-
mends Colonel F'unston's appointment brig
adler general for signal skill and gallantry
crossing Rio Grande river and most gallant
services since commencement of war. urge
appointment. Funston able as leader Of men
and has earned recognition"
The President has assured several of his
congressional visitors from the West of his
deep appreciation of the services rendered
by the volunteers, especially those who
have remained with their regiments since
the proclamation of peace. He has said TO
these senator's and representatives that 1t is
his earnest desire to reward, in some fitting
way, the courage and endurance of the vol
unteers who had the right to be discharged
upon demand, but who have continued in
the service and materially assisted in bring
ing the Philippine war to a close. 1t is
more than likely that President Mckinley
will recommend to Congress the striking of
separate medal for these volunteers,
which will differ from the medals Of honor.
and yet be a memento to the Philippine
campaign and a recognition OF the govern
ment's gratitude to those who have upheld
the flag and supported the government.

here tonight by J. F. Storey Of On
tario, passenger on the steamer
Dirigo. Storey, with three others, start
ed for Dawson IT months ago over the
Edmonton route, but were unable to
get through. He says there is a sec

Nelson that was never travelled by
white man or Indian. The country is
one continuation of swamps and
sloughs. For weeks he and his COM

horses with which they started died
and they were compelled to retracc
their steps. At Lizard river they found
80 men suffering from frost bite and

up as their thighs. At every camp they
found sickness and distress. They gave
out their provisions until they ran short

NO TROUBLE EXPECTED.
Exaggerated Reports Sent Out From
British Columbia.

Vancouver, B. c., June 4.-The eight
hour law comes into effect in British
Columbia mines June 70. Some sensa-
tional kilograms are being sent out as
to trouble arising from the fact that
Nelson and SLOGAN mine owners have
notified the men that the pay hereafter
will be $3 per day of eight hours in
stead of So SO per day of 10 hours. Some
of the mines said to have shut down
because of trouble" have merely
closed, as usual at this season of the
year, because of too much water. James
Wilkes, travelling organizer of the
Western Federation of Miners of Brit
ish Columbia and state of Washington,
says:
II am inclined to think that the pub
lie is possessed of an exaggerated idea
of the seriousness of the situation. My
impression Is there will be no trouble in
any part of the province excepting, pos
sibly, in the Nelson and SLOGAN dis
tricts.
1.-The proposition of the mine owners
of Nelson and SLOGAN to reduce wages
to 50 is, in my opinion most unreasona-
BILE, for it is admitted that men will ac-
complish more in proportion to hours
worked in an eight-hour day than they
will in a 10-hour day. Three dollars
and a half Is not too much pay for
good miners in this country; neither do
think good miners will work for less"

CONSPIRACY TO MURDER.
A Former New Mexico Sheriff Was Told
of the Scheme.


of the Scheme.
Hillsboro, N. NJ, June 4-Capt. G. M.
Curry, former sheriff of Lincoln county,
has arrived and disclosed information
that has been heretofore well guarded
concerning a conspiracy to commit four
murders, one of them being that Of Col
onel Fountain. He does not implicate
Lee and Gilliand, who are now being
tried for the murder of Colonel Foun-
tain and his son, but simply said:
IF the court will admit my evidence,
I can tell who planned the killing and
who vainly lay in wait for Colonel
Fountain once before he was killed.
Slick Miller, one of my former pris-
oners, who was pardoned out of the
penitentiary by Governor Thornton,
made confession to me which / have
kept secret, having no occasion to di-
vulge it until now. There were three
men in the plot and all had been in
dicted for stealing cattle. l had been
instrumental in some of the cases and
they agreed to put me out of the way.
too. James Fl. Cree of the v. V. Cattle
company, a large syndicate, was to be
killed. told him quietly what knew.
and he, fearing he would yet be mur-
dered, returned to Scott and is waiting
until this affair is over. George nj.
Donnelly, another who was active in
prosecuting the cattle thieves, was to
be murdered and also Colonel Foun-
tain, who was then attorney for the
Southern Mexican Cattle company.
Miller will be convicted of cattle steal
ing and the other two conspirators car
ried out but part Of their agree
ment.'
Curry said that Miller told him that
the bodies of Colonel Fountain and his
son are buried in the white sands near
the Sacramento mountains. A thor
ough search OF these sands failed to
disclose the bodies, but it is feared that
the drifting nature of the soil has
buried them too deep.
Curry held a conference with the at
torneys for the defense and the indica-
tions are they will use him as wit
ness.
