FOUND RUM0R FALSE.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lang Murray
Are Reunited.
He MAKES STATEMENT
BIames Gossip for His Recent
troubles.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lang Murray were hap
PLY reunited Sunday. Since the unfor-
tunate misunderstanding that separated
them two months ago, Mr.. Murray has
cen boarding at the Carey hotel. where
he had a suite of rooms. Yesterday
morning he moved his trunks, library and
other personal possessions back 10 his
former cosy home on Indiana avenue.
where ne now lives with his wife. after
a happy and fortunate reconciliation.
He made the following written statement
for the Eagle:
Wichita. Kan. Aug. u. 1901.
To Wichita Daily Eagle:
Gentlemen: Have always hated public
ity and trust there will be no more.
Ny action Will prove what 1 believe.
shall defend myself and mine. Misun-
and trouble often come
from being victims of gossip.
Respectfully,
LANG MURRAY.
Mr.. Murray naturally didn't care TO
open the subject of his separation from
his wife two months ago. II is known,
however, that he recently made a diligent
personal investigation OF rumors that
caused the separation and found them
absolutely groundless. He realized that
he was the victim of gossip and hasty
advice and did what he considered the
manly thing to do-vindicate her by re-
newing his place in teh home.

Nightly Hold-Ups and Ro obberies-Sand
bngging In Broad Daylight.

Port Townsend, Wash, Oct. 13.-Re-
ports from Nome broght down by the
steamer John S. Kimball state that a
reign of terror prevails at Nome.
Holdups and robberies are of nightly
occurrence. Men are being sandbagged
and robbed in broad daylight when
caught in lonely places. Sluice box
robberies are frequent and several
mines have been robbed of from $500 to
81, 200. Business houses have been en-
tered and even women walking on the
streets are made victims. On Septem-
ber 20 two masked men entered the
store of Mrs S. M. Hovey and at the
point Of pistol forced her to give up
$500.
e The Discovery Claim on Anvil Creek
has again distinguished itself. On Sep
tember IA, $1,552 in nuggets was picked
weighing s1.729.
Nome will have winter communica-
ton with the outside world by means
of a stage line Norman r. Smith, who
is at the head of the stage company,
recently arrived at Nome bringing with
him fifty horses and large number
of dogs. He proposes during the Win

carrying passengers, mail and express.
Along the route there will be thirty-fve
relay stations. Illiauma Bay can be
reached by steamers during the entire
winter.
The Kimball brought down $50 pas

WORLDS WHEAT CROP,
Larger This Year Than Those of tho
Tw, Preceding Years..

Washington, Oct. 1S.-The depart ment
of agriculture announces that the three
most important estimates Of the world s
wheat crop of 1901 so far made aggre-
gate that the crop is larger than that
of the two preceding years. The esti-
mates follow:
Hungarian ministry Of agriculture, g.
671,360;000 bushels Of 60 pounds; Beer
bohms corn list of London, 2,711, 100000
bushels of 60 pounds, and Bulletin Des
Halles of Paris 2,79O,31O,0 600 Winchester
bushel
Our department withholds it's opinion
as to the degree in which the world s
crop has been approximated in any Of
these estimates until a considerably
larger number of official returns Is
available.
The official Hungarian estimate says
the crop exceeds last years by 209,-
8S1, 600 bushels of 60 pounds, or by 2l2,-
100000 Winchester bushels. According
to Beerbohm, the excess over last years
crop is 200, 900 bushels of 60 pounds,
and according to the Bulletin des Halles
the excess Is 113, 900 Winchester
bushels. The principal increase Is
credited to the United States, Canada
and India, though various other coun-
tries are credited with larger crops
than they had in 1900.

P1SSENG STEAMER ASHORE.
Steamer Hating on the Rocks North of
Vancouver.

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 13.-In "a dense
fog the Canadian Pacific steamer Hat
ing, from Skagway to Vancouver, went
ashore yesterday afternoon at Tucker
Bay, Jarvis Island and is now hard and
fast on the rocks. The place is small
rocky inlet lying to the northeast of
Lasquette Island, at the entrance to Sa-
bine Strait, forty-nin miles north of
Vancouver When the steamer went
ashore Captain Gosse was on watch.
The fog at the time was so dense that
it was impossible to see ten feet in any
direction.
The Hating had on board 40 passen-
gers, of whom 100 were first class and
forty second-class. There was no panic
and the passengers were soon made
aware that no danger was to be appre-
hended.
After an examination of the steamer,
when it was found that she could not
get off the rocks by her own efforts, the
captain started Pilot Gums off to Van
couver in ships boat with four men.
They had rowed thirty-five miles Of the
distance when a tug picked them up
and brought them in this afternoon.
AS soon as the news Of the accident
was received here the Canadian Pacific
office wired to Nanaimo to have the
steamer Joan dispatched to Jarvis Is
land to take as many passengers as
possible from the Hating and bring
them down to Vancouver. The collier
Maude was also dispatched to Jarvis
Island, starting at 6 o'clock this even
ing. She carried a number of Canadian
Pacific officials, who will ascertain the
Hating's precise condition and arrange
to get her off the rocks IL possible. The
passengers will probably reach here to-
morrow morning.
The Hating Is a particularly good
boat, having been brought from Hong
Kong for the northern trade about eight
months ago Her estimated value is
s240 900.
Victoria, B.. c., Oct 13.-The Cana
dian Pacific officials here have advices
to the effect that the Hating will be a
total loss. Captain Gosse, who was In
command was considered a NOSE care
full and successful navigator. This is
his first accident.

NEXT COSSfSTORYA AT ROME.
Belief That 1t VIII Occur OH 25th AnDi-
versary of Leo's Pontificnte.

Washington, Oct. 13.-In well inform
ed Catholic circles here it is believed
that the consistory of the Catholic
church at Rome will be held in Febru-
ary, when Pope Leo XIII. fattains the
twenty fifth year of his pontificate.
While there have been no definite ad-
vices to this effect, it is thought likely
that this assembly will open the jubilee
to signalize the closing Of the quarter
century of Pope Leo's regime, and that
he will take advantage Of it to deliver
an allocution, taking a strong position
on the subject of assassination, among
other things.
Cardinal Martinelli will remain in Of
fee here until about time for the con-
sistory No authoritative word has yet
reached here regarding the successor
ship. In view of his past experience 1T
is quite likely that Cardinal Martinellt
will be assigned in Rome to the congre-
cations of the holy office known as the
"Inuuisition" which watches the NOR
ais and discipline of the church and the
propaganda which deals with the prop
agation of the faith.
Carlinal Martinelli and two or three
of the newly created cardinals, as well
as possibly several cardinals and bish
OPS that may meantime be created, will
receive the red hat at the public session
Of the coming consistory.

Hard Struggle Ahead to Keep Peasant
Formulation Alive.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
ST. Petersburg, Oct. lit can now De
forcseen that the widespread crop fall
ures. the consequent famine and the
relief work of the government and OF
philanthropists will be engrossing sub
1ects in this empire during the ap-
preaching winter. The word famine
is not used in the official publications,
which speak of famine-stricken dis
tricts as places that are in an unta-
vorable condition as respects the har-
vests. "lbut the facts that are frequently
admitted show that the struggle TO
keep the peasant population alive until
a. new harvest will be harder than has
been known since 1872.
The extent of the disaster can be
vaguely surmised from comparison OF
the government report, which merely
names the province of Vitiak as among
those where there was an insufficient
harvest" and which gives the amount
Of governmental assistance required as
$4,000 poods of rye.
The ministry always has decided to
contribute to the relief work by hasten
ing the surveys and estimates for the
St. Petersburg VolgaV Vitiak and the
Rologoye- -Polozk- -Zedlitz railways, so
that a part Of the population of the ad-
iacent provinces may be employed this
winter. Furthermore, the ministry Of
finance has given a. permit for the con-
struction of number of branch lines.

REV OUT THE GAS.
Unfortunate Death of Young Irish Girl
ON Way to Waterbury,.

Bridgeport, Oct. 13.-Mary McCor-
mack, an Irish immigrant about twen-
ty-one years old, was found dead at the
Union hotel on Water street this morn
ing. Acting Medical Examiner G. G..
Godfrey was notified by Coroner G. A.
Doten and made an examination. He
gave certificate of death due to as
phyxiation from coal gas, adding:
BLEW out gas, not knowing the dan
ger"
It appears that the young woman ar
rived from Queenstown on the steam
ship Lucania Saturday and arrived In
this city at $50 p. M, too late to catch
a train for Waterbury, her destination.
She went to the hotel and was to have
been called at $3.50 a. m. When she did
not respond the odor of gas was noticed
and the door broken in. A gas jet wide
open told the story of her stiffness, A.
brother Thomas Mccormack, residing
at No. 25 Cook street, Waterbury, was
notified and will take charge of the re-
mains.

To DEFEAT BLACNMAILERS.
Prominent Business Man Publicly Con-
fesses an Early Crime.

Columbus, O., Oct. 13.--The following
statement was made last night by e.
N. Huggins, attorney for r. F. Wolfe,
president Of the Wolfe Bros. Shoe Co.
of this city and also president Of the
National Shoe Co. with headquarters in
Boston:
"At eighteen years of age, r. r.
Wolfe, president Of the Wolfe Bros.
Shoe Co. Of this city, was sent to the
penitentiary of another state upon the
charge of assault with intent to kill.
When released he determined to over
come the cloud and came to Columbus,
penniless. His success since is mat
ter of general knowledge. The story of
his early trouble was known to few,
some of whom, knowing all the facts
and circumstances, gave him In the
noblest way their friendship and sup
port. Others saw in his extremity
means of extortion and oppression. AS
Mr.. Wolfes prosperity has increased,
threats of exposure have multiplied
and have at last become intolerable.
Knowing all the facts and as his attor-
ney, / have advised him to make this
statement to the public. He knows that
the world exacts a further penalty from
those it has punished, but he authorizes
this statement that he may be forever
a free man
Mr.. Wolfe was living at Spencer,
Ind, at the time the offense was com
mitted. 1t appears that he became in
volved in a quarrel with friend and
in an encounter which followed the lat
ter was worsted Wolfe was arrested
and while in Jail attempted to escape,
making an assault upon the jailer. For
this assault he was indicted and SEN
fenced to five years in prison, which he
served, gaining all the time allowed by
law for good behavior. The secret of
Mr. Wolfe's early Hfe was known to
but few of his more intimate associ-
ates; to the public 1t Is a surprise.
Mr. Wolfe is one of the most respected
citizens of Columbus and enjoys the
confidence and good will of business
men generally

Operntions,

Manila Oct 13.-The military author
tiles have received word that General
Miguel Malvan, the insurgent leader, is
believed to have left the Province of
Batangas, Luzon, and to be planning
an operation In the Province of Bula-
can, where insurgent conscription has
been progressing recently. The coun-
try there is mountainous and well
adapted to guerilla warfare.
Capt ain Pitcher has practically
stamped out insurrection in the island
of Mindoro.
The police force of Banan, province
of Batangas has been disarmed; and
the chief of police and several others
have been placed under arrest on
charge of belonging to an insurgent So
ciety and using their offices to obtain
information for the insurgents.
Major Braganza, the insurgent officer
who ordered the execution of one hun
dred and three Spanish prisoners and
personally superintended the carrying
out of the order, has been sentenced to
be hanged.
There Is intense feeling among the
natives in San Fernando, Province of
Pampanga over the killing OF native
by a soldier. Strong patrols are out IN
both San Fernando and Bacolor to pre-
vent a hostile demonstration.
There is considerable criticism here OF
the recent statements of Congressman
Edgar Weeks of Michigan, regarding
Filipino character and possibilities.
Members of the commission refer to his
remarks as "too sweeping" and as
"based upon too short an experience
The native press unstintingly condemns
tbe conclusions Of Mr.. Weeks as "un-

Said to Have Played ON the Syracuuo
University Eleven Last Fall.
IT has been stated on good authority
that Glass, the big guard on the VAR
sity football team is ineligible to play
this year on account of his having
played on the Syracuse university
team last fall. Under a. rule passed
some years ago student coming from
another college has to complete a year
at Yale before he can play agaipat
Princeton and Harvard in champion-|
ship athletic contest and SO under thisR
ruling Glass will not be able to comSE
pete againts these two teams In thef8
championship games, The Yale authqft
tiles are looking the matter up and are3
inquiring into all the particulars In theb
case. The loss Of Glass would possibly
mean the loss of the championship for
Yale as there is no man in the univer-
sity who could begin to fill his place..
He has played one of the best games
at guard seen at Yale since the dag
of Heffelfinger and has been filling ..57l
big hole left by the graduation of Car
tain Brown. He has been the life a.
the line, has figured in all the plays Oh
team and would doubtless prove one of
the strongest guards in the country.
Ills loss would cause the severest kind
of shock to Yale's hopes this year.
