NEW YORK. April 1a.-Ex-Mayor
Abram s. Hewitt said OF the American
Steel & Wire company's action in shut
ting down n dozen of Its mills as
quoted:
Until Mr.. Gates made his statement
and the American Steel & Wire Com.
pauy shut down twelve Of It's mills we
had no Indication that the condition OF
trade was not satisfactory. / do not
know anything about the business OF
the American steel s. Wire Company.
They arc competitors Of ours and we
have always found them upright and
honorable people to do business With I
do not wish to make an attack on them,
but as far as l know there is no justt'
fcntlon for Mr.. Gates statement.
"As to the other aspect OF tho matter
that n great corporation. should,with'
out notice, shut down twelve OF It's mills
and throw out OF employment $4,000 or
20 900 men is simply outrageous. Such
action is unprecedented in the trade

NO INQUEST POSSIBLE.
Coroner Cannot Find Any Remains OF
Negro Who was Lynched.

Denver, Col, Nov. 17-No measures
have been considered with a view Of
prosecuting any members of the mob that
lynched Porter and it is unlikely that
any will be taken. Gov. Thomas refuses
to express any opinion in regard to the
affair.
District Attorney McAllister of the iu-
tlicial district CT which Lincoln county is
a part said criminal proceedings against
the leaders of the mob would be utterly
futile, on account of the public opinion.
He condemned the removal of Porter to
Lincoln county.
Clergymen of this city unanimously
deprecate the method pursued in the
lynching, but some of them say frankly
that the negro should have been hanged
or shot.
A movement to reinstate capital pun
ishment in the statutes of Colorado has
received an impetus from the murder of
Louise Frost and the lynching. A bill
with this object in view is now being
drawn and its advocates will, it is said.

ment at the coming session of the Lecis-
lature. Crimina: assault probably will he
made a capital crime.
Limon, COL, Nov. lit is unlikely
that an inquest will be held over the re-
mains Of Porter. In fact, the coroner
can find no remains upon which to hold
an inquest. A few men remained at the
spot and renewed the fire again and
again, until every yestige of the negro
was consumed. The iron rail. to which
Porter was bound, will be left standing
About 700 people witnessed the lynching
No women were present, but many Of
them went to the scene before the fire
was lighted and remained while the ne

PRESS FOR PAYMENT.

Claims for Indemnity Are Being Pre-
scented by American Consuls.
Canton, Nov. 17.-The American consul
here has been notified that the board of
reconstruction has been ordered to pay
$4,000 as the first installment in settle
ment Of American claims. All the con-
suls are pressing for indemnity for the
destroyed missions. A special deputy
has been appointed for each district to
estimate the damage done, the Chinese
apparently realizing that settlement OF
the claims is the only method OF Kidding
Canton of foreign gunboats.
A fire has occurred here which de-
stroyed between 200 and 800 houses.
Severe Penalty for Prince.
Washington, d. c., Nov. lit is
hoped by officials here that the imperial
Chinese decree of November 13 for the
degradation and punishment of Chinese
princes and leaders implicated in the
Boxer uprising will be accepted as suffi-
cient by the foreign ministers at Pekin.
The sentencing of Prince Tuan to life
Imprisonment is an unusually severe pen
atty to be imposed upon a high prince in
China, and, in the opinion of the officials,
should be sufficient guaranty Of the pur-
pose of the Chinese government to COM
ply with the demand of the powers for
the punishment of the guilty. 1t is adj
mitted, however, that certain nations
may destroy harmony and prevent an
agreement by insisting upon harsher pun
ishment than it is within the power of
the imperial government to impose.

CRISIS NEAR AT HAND.
Change in Senator Davis Condition
is Expected Within Twenty
four Hours.

st. Paul, MINI, Nov. 16.-At 8 o'oclck
this morning Senator Davis was report
ed as resting quietly, not yet having
awakened after his nights sleep. He
has been more or less delirous during the
past twentyfour hours, alternating be-
tween short fits of fever delirium and
sleep under the influence Of opiates. A
gentleman who has been almost continu-
ally at the senator's bedside since his i'll
ness talked freely of his condition.
There is a possibility he said, chat
the senator may recover, but there are
many chances against it. II his strength
ho!ds out and change occurs for the
better his recovery would not be surpris-
ing. Ills condition, however, is serious,
and every change appears to be for the
worse. His heart has been doing heroic
work during the last three days, as q
pulsation of from 112 to 12O indicates
marked Improvement, in my opinion,
must take place in the senator's condition
within the next forty-eight hours to save
his illness from fatal termination.
Progress of the Inflammation of the kid
neyS has not been stayed, and this is re-
garded by his family and physicians as a
warning to expect the worst"
The members of Senator Davis fami-
ly are now entirely composed, and merely
wait patiently for better or worse symp-
toms. Mrs. Davis is we'll and scarcely
leaves her husbands bedside, except for
the few hours of sleep that she knows
she must have in order to resume her
post of duty. The senator's aged par
ents are both we'll, and his sisters re-
main constantly in the house. Mrs. Trip

spending nearly all her time and ener-
gies in attempts to cheer her father and
mother.
The following noon statement was
given out by Senator Davis physicians:

at n brief interval for food, stimulants or

MICHIGAN CEMETERY ROBBED.
Nine Bodies Stolen from Burial Place
in Newaygo County.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Nov. 16.-The
Springbrook cemetery, in Newaygo coun-
ty, has been robbed of nine bodies, all
but one being those of persons who had
died within the last year, as follows:
Mrs. Carlotta Eldrege, aged about 30
years, her daughter Mildred, 9 years old,
both of whom were victims Of typhoid
fever; Charles James, 60 years old 1;
Henry Houston. middle-aged man; Clar-
ence Cole, 17-year-old boy; Don and
BERTHE Cressor,o infants; Mrs. George
Bailey, about 80 years of age.
The ninth body, which is supposed to
have been that of Mrs. Henry Knowles,
although so badly decomposed as to be
unacceptable, was found in a hedge
fence about quarter of a mile from the
cemetery. She died about FIVE years ago.
The cemetery is in an isolated spot and
up to last Thursday there had not been
burial there for nearly three weeks.
1t was when Isaac Dunton, the sexton,
went to dig the grave Tuesday morning
that the awful discovery was made.

WIDOW DISINTERS BODY.
Woman Removes Husbands Remains
in Spite of Authorities.

Peoria, Ill., Nov. 16-On Tuesday per-
sonal friends of Mrs. John Ryan, young
widow, with their own hands, removed
the remains of Ryan from the consecrat-
ed burial grounds Of St. Mary's Gene
terry, where interment was made several
years ago. The body was disinterred
without any permit from the authorities
of the cemetery.
Mrs. Ryan is daughter of one of
Peoria's well-to-do families. The moth
er of Ryan never got along we'll with
her daughter-in-law, and the bitter feel
ing existing between the two women was
augmented by the litigation over the es-
tate of Ryan, in which litigation the
mother was successful.
The sensational removal OF the dead
mans remains on Tuesday has recalled
all the details of this long-standing mis-
understanding between the two women.
The widow wanted the remains inferred
in Springdale cemetery, but could obtain
no permit from the authorities of ST.
Mary's, and could secure no undertaken
who would disinter the body.

men. Relic hunters by the score ap-
peared and each sought to obtain some
section of the sculptured figure of "Vic-

umn was laid bare in a few minutes and
the woodwork was torn about and laid
on the sidewalk. The work was done

BATTLE IN MEDICAL SCHOOL.
Student Fatally Hurt in a Scramb1
Between Rival Classes.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 16.-The building
occupied by the Omaha Medical and
Dental college was the scene of bat
tie in which a student of the dental de-
partment was probably fatally injured.
The dental class consists of thirty one
students and the medics number thirty
eight. Most Of the medics did not ap-
pear yesterday and in a friendly tussle
over who should have the best seats in
the lecture room the dentists easily dis
posed of their rivals and took possession
of the room. Yesterday the entire med
ical class was on hand early and as soon
as the tooth repairers entered the lecture
room the medics swooped down on them.
The dentists held their own for a while,
but at last were forced through the mar
row entrance and to the head of the
stairs nearby Dale Woods, the badly
injured dental student, was picked up by
someone and thrown down the stairs.
A riot call brought dozen bluecoats
to the building, but the battle was then
over and a crowd Of anxious students
was gathered around the unconscious

Honolulu, Nov. 8. via San Francisco,
Nov. 16.-Robert w. Wilcox, the indie
pendent Royalist candidate, has been
elected Hawaiian delegate to Congress
by small majority over Samuel
Parker. the Republican candidate
Much depression has resulted among
all whites, as Wilcox was strongly OPP
posed by Republicans and Democrats
alike. His campaign was an anti-white
canvass, with promises on the part of his
campaign workers that if he were elected
Queen Liliuokalani should be restored to
the throne. The result of the vote shows
the native bitterness over annexation to
be still alive.
Republicans carried Honolulu and the
island of Oahu for Parker by 219 plurali-
ty. The Democratic candidate, Prince
David Kawananakoa, received only
about one-third as many votes as Parker
1t is reported that ex-Queen Liliuokalani
secretly threw her influence to Wilcox.

Teller of First National Bank

New York, Nov. 1.-THE case of Cor
nelius l. Alyord, formerly note teller of
the First National bank, was called in
the United States district court yester-
day. Jacob +. Miller, Alvord's attor-
ney, made a motion to dismiss the case
on the ground that the prosecution had
failed to prove that any funds had been
taken from the bank, and hence he
asked that the prisoner be discharged.
The judge asked him if he did not in
tend making any defense, and he replied
that he did not; that the prosecution had
proven no larceny and hence there was
no crime. The judge then gave the at
torneys until next Friday to file briefs in
the case and reserved his decision until
that time He said, however, that he
was inclined to deny the motion.
