ONE CHILD REsCUES
OTHER FROM DROWNING
Fred Churchill PIuokiIy Saves Little
Maggie FIahaye From Death
in Cistern.

Only the pluck and presence of
mind of young Fred Churchill saved
little Maggie FIahave from drowning
in cistern near her home, on Acker
street, into which she fell yesterday
afternoon. Bending. far over the curb,
until his body doubled, jacknife fash
ion, on the boards, the boy extended
to the gasping girl stick which he
had seized at the first alarm, and in
his precartous position supported her
until help arrived. Many minutes
elapsed before aid came, but the boy
clung desperately to the stick and en-
couraged the girl, whose life depended
upon keeping hold of the end Of the
pole When help came both were
nearly exhausted.
A number of children were playing
in the yard where the cistern is sunk,
protected only by a low box. Maggie
Flahave was hanging over the edge,
when she suddenly lost her balance
and tumbled in. The shrill cries of the
other children who saw her vanish
summoned Churchill. - Selling the
stick, he ran to the cistern. AS the
girl rose to the surface of the five feet
of water in the tbottom of the cistarn,
he thrust the pole into her hand. With
a gurgling cry she seized it in both
hands and held on.
Some men, working in the neighbor-
hood, attracted by the cries of the chill
dren, rushed UP and drew the little girl
from the well. Neither of the chill
dren suffered much from the adven-
ture, beyond a severe fright.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, Oct. 2S.-
The Bryan special crashed into the ca
boose Of freight at Arena, in Brown
canyon, fifteen miles above Leadville,
today. The special remained on the
track, but the caboose was thrown
from the trucks. The crew saved their
lives by jumping. The freight pulled
in on siding to let the special pass.
The caboose had not cleared the main
line when the special swept around a
sharp curve and crashed into the ca
bcose. The occupants OF the caboese
were warned Of their danger in time
to save their lives. Mr.. Bryan was
not injured. The caboose was demol-
ished and the track obstructed so that
the special could not proceed. Mr..
Bryan and his party were put into an
empty Swift refrigerator car and,
drawn by the freight engine, taken to
Napo, seven miles away. There a pas
senger car was taken from the siding
and run to bBuena Vista and Leadville.

MEXICO MAY GO TO =
A GOLD BASIS SOON.
New York Bankers sounded-Proposes
Fifty-cent Dollar Like That y

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Bankers in.
New York are being sounded on the
question of furnishing gold to the Mex
lean government for the putting of
Mexican currency on a gold basis It is
said that the political leaders in Mex
leo are convinced that business inter-
ests would be conserved by adopting a
gold basis and that the basis likely to
be decided on will be similar to that
now in force in Japan. In effect it
would mean a 50-cent gold dollar. If
the plan is carried through it will be as
the result of congressional action dur
ing the present session of the Mexican
congress and the United States will be
called on to furnish the gold needed
for carrying the plan into execution.
In Japan the currency basis is the

to the latest treasury circular of 49.8
cents. The treasury department does

fore a crowd of over 5000 persons at
the Auditorium he fatty charged the
governor, the congressman and their
associates with offering bribe to J.
W. Dawson to withdraw as an Inde-
pendent Republican candidate for the
legislature in district where the reg
unfair candidate was threatened with
defeat. The price offered is alleged to
have been $500. One meeting he
charged was in Morris, where holes
were bored in a door and a conversa-
ton overheard wherein Dawson was
offered $1,000 to withdraw. This con-
versation, the senator said, was over
heard by W. S. Miller and Michael
Black. Affidavits accompanied the
charges. 3. o. Love, it was asserted,
was the man selected to negotiate the
transaction, but finally declined to be-
come party to the deal.
To cap the climax Mr.. Dawson per-
sonally appeared at the meeting and
J reiterated the charges, declaring he
had been accosted at the door of the
Auditorium by man who offered anew
to~bribe him to remain away from the
gathering. According to the charges
$4,000 was to come from Len Small and
$4,000 to be furnished by the governor
or his friends under the second prom
fse. This was afterward changed, the
senator charged, SO that $4,000 was to
come from the same source; Love was
to give $1,000. and of this latter sum
$500 was to be furnished by Congress-
man Hopkins. The latter is asserted to
Ehaye been present at the great North
ern hotel in at least one of the confer
ences when the bribe offers were made
as alleged.
The alleged scheme was to get Daw-
son to sign a card directed to Secre-
tary of State Rose requesting him to
withdraw his name from the official
ballot.
Senator Mason was greeted with shouts
and cheers when he appeared. In re-
sponse he said: "I received the Office
of United States senator from Illinois
| without the consent of any political
boss. I received my Office without the
aid of Mr.. Hopkins, Lorimer and that
crowd. I received it from the people
and would rather come back again to
my business and assume the high and
dignifed position of private citizen
than to go back to the senate for life

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-A significant
change in the political feeling came
over Wall street today. The betting
odds on Gov. Odell, which had ruled at

to Z was the best that could be had.
There was plenty of Coler money, but
only few small wagers were made. It
was freely predicted that before the
balloting next Tuesday the betting will
be at even money.
The "wiseacres of the street" have
often proved good political prophets,

feeling in favor Of the Republicans, the

garded as particularly noteworthy.

spread that the entire Doukhoubour
colony had gone on the march. Their
crops were left half harvested, their
horses and cattle deserted. The report
was confirmed today by the appearance
on the outskirts of Yorktown of an
army Of 1,6O0 Doukhoubours, headed by
their chief. Men, women and children
made UP the party, the infants and sick
being carried on stretchers. AS they
entered the town they chanted weird
song.
The body marched to the immigra-
ton sheds, where agents of the govern
ment met and introduced them.
Through Interpreters the Doukhou-
bours told the officials they did not
know where they we're going or what
they expected to do. Their only mis-
sion was to convert people and find Je-
sus. The male members of the party
refused proffered shelter for the women
and children and sick, but after mu1/
persuasion were induced to leave the
weaker ones behind while they con-
tinued their march through the city.
The men and women are living on
weeds and raw potatoes and look thin
and gaunt after their long tramp from
the villages.
The Number Becoming Larger.
Four hundred more Doukhoubours
are now exiles out Of the town and six
hundred more are leaving their viii
.ages. One child died this afternoon
while on the march. When word was
brought in Of their proximity this
morning meeting Of the council was
hastily called and several special con-
stables were sworn in. No violence
will be used by the defending party,
which is under the command of the
Northwest mounted police stationed
there, but trouble is feared, for while the
original mission of the Doukbhoubours
was Of a peaceful nature, some appre-
hension is felt that they will be driven
to acts of violence by sheer necessity.
Some Have Religious Mania.
OTTAWA, Ont, Oct 2S.-Inquiry in
official circles in regard to reports about
the Doukhoubours elicits the informa-
tion that there are a number of them
probably 1000 in all, affected with the

ary general, Tribe Uribe, with 10 cam
non, $500 rifles and 100000 rounds of
ammunition, has surrendered to Gen.
Marjarres at Rio Frio, near Santa
Marta.
The revolutionary forces under Gen.
Uribe- Tribe, which were defeated Oct.
IA at La Cienaga, retreated to Rio Frio
and took up positions there. Gen. Mar
jarres with 1000 men proceeded against
the rebels from La Cienaga and engag-
ed the enemy two days ago. The gov
ernment general succeeded in sur
rounding the rebels and forcing them
to surrender. Gen. Castillo was with
Gen. Tribe Uribe.
Casualties Were Heavy.
The news of the victory was receiv-
ed here by Gen. Perdomo and Gov. Sal
azar this morning in a telegram from
Gen. Marjarres. Details of the engage
ments are lacking, but heavy casualties
on both sides are reported. The sur
render of Tribe Tribe is said to COM
plete the pacifcation of the depart
revolutionists now occupy the isthmus
only.
In the fight of Oct. IA at La Cienaga
the revolutionary force consisted OF
1900 men.
News Confirmed in Washington.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2S.-
Confirmation of the news Of the sur
render Of Gen. Tribe Uribe was con-
tained in the following dispatch, re-
ceived at the Colombian legation here
tonight:
Panama. Oct. 28.-Uribe- and
Castillo (another revolutionary general)
surrendered at La Cienaga with a large
quantity of arms and ammunition"
The legation officials declare that
with the surrender of Tribe Tribe the
life of the rebellion in the interior OF
Colombia has received it's death blow
and that the complete pacification of
that portion of the country must in
evitably follow. He was, they say, the
acknowledged leader Of the movement
against the government, and by his
energy and perseverance in raising
and equipping troops and securing as
EiStance from the outside, has kept the
revolution going for some years. Gen.
EUribe-U Tribes movements have taken
him to various portions of the interior
of Colombia, his early operations being
in the state Of Jolima, later in the state
of Santander, and finally in the state
OF Magdalena.
Once Menaced Eooo&a,
In the state of Santander. at the
head of an army Of over 10000 men,
he seriously menaced the capital, Bo-
gotta, until he was defeated by a SUI
perior government force on the 26th of
May, 1900, when the casualties num-
bered about 5000 men in all. It has
been repeatedly asserted by the off,
cials here that Gen. Tribe Uribe re-
ceived substantial aid from the gov
ernment of Venezuela, he having Wis
tied Caracas and had frequent inter-
views with President Castro. Last
year he visited the United States and
for a time was in correspondence with
the officials of the legation, with a
view of reaching honorable terms of
capitulation, but the efforts in that
hirection were without substantial re-
suit, and Gen. Uribe-Uribe returned
TO Colombia and again took up arms
against the government.
Gen. Castillo who surrendered with
Uribe- Tribe, is about fifty years of
age, and previous to joining forces
with Uribe-Uribe was a guerrilla gen.
eral who gave the government a great
deal of trouble.
