Colorado CattIemen Drive
5000 Sheep.
WHOLE COUNTY IN ARMS
Scarcity of Water Has Brought
on the Trouble.

Walsenburg, Colo, Sept. 6.-Reports re-
ceived from Sharpsdale, a small town
near Mount Blanco, in southern Colo,
state that the feud over the use of the
range which has long existed between
cattle men and sheep men, reached eli
max this week, when the cattlemen
drove 5000 sheep over a high precipice.
The trouble has grown out of the scar
city Of water along the water courses
Where grass still remains the sheep were
psstured and after they had once pasA
cattle refused to eat and either oied1r
became very poor. The cattlemen rose In
revolt and taking horses corralled about
1900 sheep. The sheep men protested, put
being unarmed they could do nothing
The sheep were then driven down a mar
row gulch at the foot Of which an ancient
waterfall had followed out pit over 200
feet deep. Faster and faster the mad
dened animals ran, urged on by the
shouts Of the cowboys, until the leader
paused at the brink. The press behind
him forced him over. and the others fol-
lowed Some of the last, who fell on the
bodies of the first, were not killed, but
the majority were killed. 1t is said that
the entire country has taken up arms.

Slick Scheme Which Operated
Through an Express Company.
San Francisco, Sept. GA novel wind
ling scheme evidently planned to en-
brace the continent, has just been
brought to light. Recently the head Of
fee of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express in
this city ha received from its agents In
the interior numerous letters and tetle-
grams asking for instructions relative
to the disposition Of certain packages
of valuable certificates expressed from
GreenviIle Junction, Maine, on each of
which there was c. o. D. charge OF
S. In each place the chief Of police or
constable has received a letter signed
Douglas w. Hill, chief inspector of po-
lice Halifax Nova Scotia, containing an
order for the package and a statement
that 1t has been sent to NJ. B. Byrnes,
an absconder. For the captur of Byrnes
of whom a complete description was
given, a reward of $3.50 was offered, and
for the recovery of the express package
and additional reward of $500 would be
paid. In several cases the peace officer
paid the IS and secured the worthless
package. The express agent had orders
to send this to Frederick Brewster at
torney at law. New York. The scheme
was known TO have been worked with
more or less success in at least a dozen
California towns.

Parsons suggested a free discussion Of
the whole matter in executive session

The secret session resulted in the clear

minor points. A committee VIII be ap-

Considerable soreness was exhibited at
the outset of todays sessions by some
caustic remarks made from the platform

night in filing the suburban cars pro-
vided for a trip to McC1emens, with them
selves and friends to the exclusion of
great many of the visiting delegates
Some OF the Detroit men holly denied

disagreeable subject was debated quite
fully. The official nominating committee

HAY STANDS BY THE MINERS
Their Rights VIII be Guarded, Bound
AIRY or No Boundary.


Seattle, Wash, Sept 6.-The miners of
the Porcupine district, Alaska have re-
ceived from Secretary Hay definite assur-
ances that this government foregoes no
part of its right and power to protect its
citizens in the Porcupine creek district,
whether they be temporarily within
American or British jurisdiction, in the
full enjoyment Of all rights and privileges
which they had before the modus vivendi
was concluded, and TO see that their free
dom of access and exit with their goods
is not unreasonably impeded This an
nouncement from Mr.. Hay is the result
of a petition to President Mckinley from
40 American miners in the Porcupine
country who complained of being brought
within the territory and under the laws
Of the Dominion of Canada and especially
protested against the location of the
boundary line along the Klehini river by
which American miners were forced to
enter British territory in carrying sup
plies TO their camps. The reply of Sec
rotary Hay discusses the whole PROPOSE
ton at considerable length. He assures
the miners that the modus vivendi is
merely a temporary proposition to be alb
rogated without prejudice TO either party
when a permanent settlement of the
boundary dispute is decided upon; that in
the meantime the rights of all miners
temporarily brought within the Canadian
control will be religlously protected; and
that miners desiring TO carry goods
through the disputed territory Will be
permitted to do so without unjust inter
ference from the Canadian customs Off
Gals.

CHINA RIPE FOR CIVIL WAR

New York, Sept. 5.-A dispatch TO the
Herald from Hong Kong says: Influen-
tial natives state that the flame Of re-
bellion has been famed in the southern
provinces and predict a tremendous con-
flagration within a month Placards and
pamphlets are being circulated in Can
ton and the provinces intimating that
the allies are thoroughly routed. The
feeling against foreigners is bursting the
bounds of official control. The major
ity Of the mission stations IN Kwang
Tung have either been destroyed or loot
ed. Native Christians are terribly
abused. Natives in foreign employ In
Canton have been threatened, and a
systematic Iooting of the houses of En-
glish-speaking Cinnamon has taken place
Several reform parties, with their head
quarters in Hong Kong, who have been
supported by funds from the rich Chi
nese in the interior and in America, have
hitherto refrained from aggressive action,
believing that the powers would effect
the regeneration Of the government. One
powerful organization is distributing

FIGHT is IN PROSPECT
Between Colo NIB a aud Venezuela
American Yacht Involved

New York, Sept s.-George ]. Gould's
famous yacht, Atlanta, converted into
an armed cruiser and provided with rapid
fire guns of the latest pattern, will leave
this port at an early date bound upon
mission about which the representatives
of the Colubia republic. to which she row
belongs, maintain secrecy
Information brought by travellers return
ing from Central America indicate that
the United States of Columbia, having
suppressed a recent rebellion OF unusu-
ally sanguinary character, is determined
to call Venezuela to account for permit
ting the rebels to organize there and
cross the line into Columbia
The Atlanta, noted for her speed, was
purchased under special instructions
from the Columbian government on July
20. Since that time the yacht, which was
built for Jay Gould, has been undergoing
a quiet transformation in the Erie Basin.
From luxurious plasure craft she has
been changed to a war vessel.
According to trustworthy advices from
Columbia, there is a strong popular feel
ing against Venezuela as the result of
the recent internal struggle. Chrages
were openly made that Venezuela insti-
gated the rebellion and gave aid and
comfort to the enemies of Columbia. 1t
is asserted that at least 1900 of the rebels
crossed the line from Venezuela into CO.
lumbar territory and that in the fight
ing that ensued 500 government troops
were killed by the invaders. The total
losses during the war are placed at Il O00.
When Columbia is ready, it is said, she
will ask an indemnity from Venezuela Of
5000 each of the 800 soldiers killed, or
s., 800, 900 in ALL Additional claims may be
made for property destroyed and also for
the cost of suppressing the rebels whom
Venezuela permitted to cross her board
ers. Venezuela will also be asked TO sur
render General Carimento and his fol-
lowers. together with two gunboats, capt
ured in a Venezuelan port General Car
miento and members of the crews of the
two vessels were thrown into prison IL
Caracas and their ships confscated
after the rebellion had been suppressed In
Columbia. These enemies of ColumSe
are. it is said, about to be set free by
President Castro.
All these incidents have combined to
anger the Columbian government and
populace against Venezuela. Besides
heavy money indemnity, an apology and
guarantee for the future will probably
be asked Venezuelans say that these
demands will be refused and that If they
are insisted upon war will probably re-
suit between the two countries.

BLAME FOR AN AWFUL WRECK
Catastrophe at Hatfield, Pa, Lies Be
tween Three Hen

Philadelphia, Sept. Sit seems to be
the generally accepted conclusion that
the wreck Sunday on the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad, twenty-seven miles
from this city, which resulted in the
loss of thirteen lives and more or less
serious injuries to fifty-three persons,
was due to negligence or direct disregard
of signals. While the company will not
be prepared to make any formal state
ment until tomorrow the principal line
of investigation is being drawn about
W. S. Groves, the train dispatcher at
Philadelphia; D B. Beidler, the oper-
ator at Souderton, two and one-half
miles from Hatfield. and John Davis,
engineer of the colIiding excursion train,
who is now dying in a hospital at Beth
lehem. According TO James Benner, flag
man at Souderton station, the milk train
passed that station on time and following
the rule of the company which requires
any train coming after another within
five minutes to be stopped, he placed a
red flag between the tracks In three
minutes the excursion train came thun-
dering along with Davis at the throttle
and the train making forty miles an
hour. Davis made no effort to stop. and
waved Benner to one side. The latter
had only time to secure his flag and
spring out Of danger as the train swept
by. Looking upward ne saw that Beid-
Ter had clear signal set. Beidler when
questioned said he had received no or
ders to stop the train. This would seem
TO conflict with a statement made by
General Superintendent Sweigard that
all agents must stop a train orders or
no orders, II there is less than five min
utes between them. Mr. Sweigard also
indicated that Train Dispatcher Groves
made some effort to hold the train I'D
before it reached Souderton. but said it
was yet to be learned whether it was
because Of his neglect or bad wires due
70 heavy fog prevailing at the time that
the train was not stopped.
