Former Sheriff Harris and His So,
Slain bv Dr. ovelaee

Former Sheriff Harris and His Son
Slain by Dr.. LoveIace.
Waco. Tex. Oct. 22.-One of the
f1ercest street duels ever fought in
this section since the famous Brann.
Davis tragedy occurred shortly after
p. m. yesterday. on Austin avenue,
the busiest thoroughfare in the city,
and resulted in the death of two we'll
known citizens. The principals in the
tragedy were ex-Sheriff w. T. Harris
and his son, W. T. Harris Jr.. on the
one side and DR.. ]. G. Lovelace and
his stepson. Q. T. Reynolds. on the
other.
Bad feeling has existed between the
men for some time over family affairs.
The parties met by chance In the Turf
saloon and young Harris opened fire
with a shotgun on Lovelace over his
(Harris) fathers shoulder, but with
out effect, Lovelace Immediately re-
turned the fire with revolver, killing
young Harris almost instantly. Love
lace then turned his revolver on the
elder Harris. who was likewise killed.
Lovelace and Reynolds were both
uninjured They Immediately gave
themselves up. The principals are all
related in some degree by marriage.

the young Brazilian aeronaut, made
an ascension in his new dirigible bal.
loon from the park station of the Aero

Cloud in 29 IL minutes, but the guide
rope was not seized Immediately and
1t took 40 3-5 seconds more to bring
the balloon down. Consequently dis.
cussion has arisen as to whether M.
Santos-Dumont has won the prize of
100000 offered by M. Henry Deutsch
for any aeronaut who could make the
trip in 80 minutes. A committee has
been appointed to decide the matter.
M. Deutsch is willing to pay the
prize. declaring that Santos -Dumont
has complied with the conditions.
Santos-Dumont himself insists that
he has won it fairly and that if the
committee decides against him he will
not make another effort.

ROB CHICAGO PosroFFlcE.
Stamps to the Value of 74,61o Taken
by Burglars.

Chicago, Oct. ga sensational
robbery, which netted the perpetrators
$74,610 in stamps. was discovered here
yesterday when the wholesale stamp
department of the postoffice was
opened for business.
A rapid investigation developed the
fact that the burglars had crawled
under the flooring for about 300 feet,
bored hole in the bottom of the vault,
secured the stamps and escaped, car.
rying their booty in a wagon.
The work of forcing an entrance to
the vault had evidently been going
forward with much patience for many
days. 1t is believed, however, that
the intention of the thieves had been
to enter the cashiers vault, in which
there was $4,000 in money and stamps
valued at hundreds of thousands of
dollars. The bottom of the vault is
of steel, half an inch thick In this
81 holes were bored until space 18
inches square-just enough to allow
the entrance of a mans body-had
been so weakened that it was
possible to take out the whole plate
with little difficulty. A dry goods box
stood over the hole thus made and
concealed the work of the robbers
while it was in progress. When dis
covered yesterday the finger marks
of one C the burglars were still dis
cernible on the dust of the box, which
he had pushed to one side.
So carefully had the job been
planned that men working in other
parts of the building had not the
slightest inkling of the daring robbery
being worked almost under their
noses.
The robbers drove up to the south
east corner of the postof11ce building
in a wagon, the tracks of which could
be plainly seen. The building is tenn.
porary affair and the men had only to
open little door to admit themselves
under the flooring. To reach the vault
it was necessary to crawl about 300
feet over odds and ends of boards
which Uttered the way. The route
evidently had been carefully studied,
for detective who went under with
out knowledge of locations became
lost and was nearly overcome by the
foul odors before assistance reached
him.

counts Whole Santiago Campaign.


counts Whole Santiago Campaign.
Washington, Oct. 23.-The Schley
court of inquiry opened yesterday with
Lieutenant B. w. Wells, Jr., who was
Commodore Schleys flag lieutenant
during the Spanish war, still on the
stand, but he was soon displaced to al
low Yeoman Albert " Mason, who had
written the Brooklyn's log for the pc.
riod covering the Santiago campaign,
to testify. Mr. Mason explained the
erasures in the log entry referring to
the Broooklyn's turn on the day OF
the battle off Santiago. He was fol.
lowed by George E. Graham, who, as
an Associated Press correspondent,
was with Commodore Schley during
the entire campaign.
Mr.. Graham's testimony covered all
the principal movements of the cam
paign, and especially the lombard
ment of the Spanish ship Colon on
May 81 and the battle off Santiago on
July 8. Mr.. Graham testified to hear
ing conversation between Commo-
dore Schley and Captain Sigsbee when
the latter came aboard the BROOKLYN
off Santiago on May 26. He said he
had distinctly heard Captain Sigsbee
tell the commodore that the Spanish
fleet was not inside the harbor at
Santiago. Mr. Graham also stated
that Admiral Schley had told him that
the object of the bombardment of May
81 was to develop the Spanish land
batteries, and he said that the range
was fixed at 1000 or $500 yards, in or
der to draw their fire. He further said
with reference to the events of this
engagement that he had heard no con.
versation in which Commodore Schley
had said that the. officers in their white
uniforms were conspicuous objects.
Mr.. Graham detailed the following
conversation between Commodore
Schley and Captain Robley D. Evans,
which took place after the Santiago
engagement:
Captain Evans came into the cabin
and said: 'Schley, did you see Philip
turn around and run out of the fight?'
The commodore said: No, neither did
you. He did not run out of the fight
Captain Evans: oh, yes, he did, / saw
him. Captain Evans said he was in
the next ship and saw him. The com
modore said: 1T was not Texas at all.
Texas was in the fight all the time.
The ship you saw turn around was the
Brooklyn 4
The witnesses for the afternoon
were Denis ]. Cronin, who was Admi.
raj Schley's orderly, and who testified
along the same lines as Mr.. Graham as
to the conversation with Captain Sigs-
bee. Lieutenant Simpson, who gave
vivid picture of the battle of July
3; Lieutenant Edward Fitzgerald, who
was on duty in the fireroom on July
3, and testified that an order had been
given early in the action to stand by
for ram.

Welcome to Mexico City.
Mexico City, Oct. 23.-The pan.
American conference was formally
opened yesterday afternoon by Hon.
lgnacio Mariscal, minister of foreign
relations.
The address of Mariscal was an
swered by Isaac Alzamora, vice presi-
dent Of Peru. and delegate from that
country. He spoke in purely formal
terms. General Raigosa, chairman of
the Mexican delegation, was then
elected acting president of the con-
gress during the discussion of the
regulations. The delegates then pro-
ceeded In body to the presidential
suite. where they were introduced to

tries. and Mr.. Alzamora was chosen.

AVERT SLAUGHTER
RAINEs DISCOVERS
NEW PLOT OF INSURGENTS.

More Troops Are Being Rushed to the
Island for an Aggressive Campaign.
Natives of Luzon Show Delight Over
News of Recent Disaster.
Manila, Oct. 21.-Owing to the vigil
ance of Lieutenant Thomas Baines, Jr..
of the Ninth United States infantry,
another slaughter of American troops
by insurgents has been averted. It
seems that Lieutenant Baines discov-
cred prisoner entering cell at Car
biga, island of Samar, where several
were confined, through hole that had
been cut in the wall. An investigation
showed a plan to fill the Jail with
bolomen and to call the guard, which
would be necessary to get the door
open and then attack the garrison
1t also developed that the instigators
were a priest and the president, both
of whom have been arrested, together
with several other prominent persons.
Other attempts have been discovered,
but fortunately frustrated. at Panbujan
and other points in Samar. Several
persons have been arrested in connec-
tion with these.
Reinforcements are being rushed to
Samar. Three hundred and thirty ma
rines, under Lieutenant Colonel Man
Gil G. Goodrell, have gone there on
board the United States cruiser New
York and two battalions of the Twelfth
infantry will start Immediately for the
same destination.
United States officers from other
provinces, supposed to have been paci.
fed, have arrived in Manila, and they
say the news of American disasters
spreads like wildfire among the ma
tives, who scarcely attempt to con-
ceal their delight.
The Manila consta bulary discovered
large quantity of steel wagon springs
which were being shipped to various
districts. Investigation showed that
these were to be used in manufacture
ing bolos.
The troops in Samar anticipate hard
fighting. Brigadier General Jacob H.
Smith, who is in command, has Wis
tied most of the ports and instructed
the commanders that the insurrection
must be hammered out and General
Lukban, the insurgsnt leader, cap
tured. Already the movement of troops
has begun.
