Convict Is Rearrested.

Ole Bobo was today rearrested as he
stepped from the door of the federal
prison at Leavenworth. where he has
just finished serving a term upon gov
ernment charge. Bobo must now go
back to Jail to await trial on the more
serious charge of murder as he is in
dicted for completely in the Leaven-
worth mutiny and was in the crowd of
mutineers whose shots killed Guard
Waldrupe. Bobo is an Indian and was
sent to Leavenworth from the Indian
Territory. He will probably not have
long to wait for trial as it is expect
ed that the penitentiary mutineers will
be tried at a special term of the fed
eral court in Topeka in November.

Gated at st. Louis.

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct. PA dedication
ceremony of the greatest magnitude
since the dedication of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition ITSELF was conduct
ed on the exposition grounds this af-
ternoon in the dedication of the Temple
of Fraternity. a building of immense
proportions, in which meetings of the
different fraternal OrganiZa tiOnS of the
country will be held. The style of erec-
ton of the structure is an admiration
of the Parthenon at Athens and con-
tains eighty committee rooms. a large
hall and an open court in the center.
At 1:30 o'clock the ceremony began
with a parade to the fair grounds in
which scores of different fraternal Or
ganiZatiOnS were represented. The long
line of uniforms and symbols of the
different orders presented in many re-
spects, though on d smaller scale, a
counterpart of Ahe professions that lent
pOnp and ceremony to the dedication of
the fair. When the procession had
reached the fair grounds the long line
was augmented by the procession of
the women's auxiliary branches of the
orders. and the line of march was then
direct to the Temple of Fraternity.
Thousands of people surrounded the
building, as since daylight the different
/ trains had been pouring streams of
visitors into the CITY.
President D. r. Francis of the
Worlds Fair delivered the address of
welcome. which was responded to by
President Noah NJ. Given of the Frater-

TO SUCCEED HERBERT.
appointment of Sir Henry Mort
imer Durand Is Confirmed.

London Oct 24.-The Associated
Press is able to announce the appoint
ment of Sir Henry Mortimer Durand.
the British ambassador at Madrid as
British ambassador to the United States
to succeed the late Sir Michael Herbert.
Official announcement of the appoint
ment, however. will not be made until
Monday, when the king will formally
sign his commission.
Sir Henry Durand left London yester-
day for Madrid. where at his own de-
sire, he will personally announce his
promotion. The selection of Sir Henry
to succeed Sir Michael Herbert was a
surprise to most people here, chiefly be-
cause he has never had any official con-
nection with Washington. The AsSoci-
ated Press learns that Sir Henry has
frequently expressed great liking for
Americans and a desire to go to the
United States. His promotion comes
more or less in the ordinary course of
diplomatic changes, but one of the
strongest recommendations which ap-
pealed to Foreign Secretary Lansdowne
was Sir Henry's reputation of being an
excellent lawyer. A similar qualif1ca-
tion had much to do with the late Lord
Pauncefote'S selection.
The new ambassador will speedily bid
farewell to the Spanish court and pro-
ceed to the United States without de-
lay.
Lady Durand is not very strong. but
will benefit her health and enable her
to completely fulfill her duties as host
ess of the British embassy. The daugh-
ter of Sir Henry and Lady Durand is
much liked in Madrid society. Their
son is an officer in a lancers regiment
Sir Henry Howard, the British min
lister at The Hague and Luxembourg.
and Sir Nicholas O'Connor, the British
ambassador at Constantinople, were
among others considered for the post.
but Sir Henry Durand was finally Sc
lected as the most suitable.
While British minister to Persia, Sir
Henry was regarded in ST. Petersburg
as being the most astute diplomat
Great Britain ever sent to Teheran.
Washington. Oct 24.-The significant
and important feature of the selection
of Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, British
ambassador at Madrid, as ambassador
to Washington, is the fact that it is
the first time the British government
has sent an ambassador directly to
Washington. Heretofore Washington
has been looked upon as a post ranking
at the foot of the embassies hence it
has been the custom to promote a min
lister to the embassy here. So the action
of the British government in this case
marks a growing sense of appreciation
of the Importance of Washington as a
diplomatic OOSt.

EMBEzzLER CAUGHT.
Took $1O3, 900 but 1t Was All
Gone When He Was Arrested.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 24.-John K.
Brown, for 13 years cashier of the Union
bank of New Holland, o., is under ar
rest here on the charge of embezzle-
ment. He disappeared from the bank
on August s, last, and upon investiga-
tion of his accounts it was found he
was $103,000 short in his cash. He was
subsequently indicted upon four charges
of felony and embezzlement.
According to his own act, Brown has
had a hard time of it in his wander
ings to evade justice. He went to Mex
ico but failed to find work there and
started for Honolulu but had no better
success there in his attempt to get
employment He Travelled under an as
sumed name.
Since his arrival here, he tried to OBJ
tain work, even as day laborer. but
failed.
All the money he had left was stolen
from him. Brown expressed desire
to be taken to New Holland at once.
A dispatch received here says requisi-
ton papers will be signed at once and
that officers will start from Columbus
today to take him back. Brown stood
high in society and business circles in
New Holland.

CHANUTE SCHOOL WAR.
COlored Pupils Make a New
Move in the Controversy.

Chanute. Kas.. Oct. 24.-The colored
agitation has broken loose once more
and promises to assume warlike proper
tions a second time. On reliable infOr-
nation it is learned that on next Mon
day morning all colored school of the
city will make application for admit
tance into the various grades and de-
partmentS of the nearest ward schools,
excepting that none will apply at the
building designated for their use.
This concerted move is said to be in
conformity with the legal action
brought by their attorneys, and which
is to be given a hearing by Judge Still
we'll the 10th of next month. OF
course the pupils will be denied adnis-
sion as heretofore, but the attempt to
enter will furnish a basis for legal ac-
tion The school board seems to have
gotten into an exceedingly unpleasant
dilemma.

SCHEME OF POWERS.
Plan for Governing Macedonia
Submitted to the Porte.

Constantinople, Oct 24-The scheme
of the powers for the amelioratiOn of
affairs in Macedonia was submitted to
the porte yesterday. 1t has for its
guiding principle control and surveil-
lance over all branches of the admins
tration of the disturbed provinces by
Austria and Russia for a period of two
years.
The proposals include the appointment
of one Austrian and one Russian asses
sor, to be attached to the staff of Hill
ma Pasha, the inspector general, with
a corps of assistants, secretaries and
interpreters, whose duties will be to
have control over the acts of provincial
authorities. A European general in the
Turkish service is to be appointed to
command the gen darmerie and he will
be assisted by an adequate number OF
Russian and Australian officers ac-
quainted with the languages of the
country, and if necessary by Austrian
and Russian non commissioned officers.
A couple of further important pro-
posals which will be bitterly opposed by
the sultan provides foT the esta bllsh-
ment of communal autonomy and the
rectification of the present communal
boundaries, and the creation of spheres,
Bulgarian, AIbian, Servian, etc, that
shall be more homogeneous in national
ity and religion. Other points of the
scheme deals with the relief of refugees,
the rebuilding of villages, schools ana
churches, the disbandment of the 1rreg-
ular troops and the prohibition of the
employment of shi-Bazouks. Opposi-
ton to the whole scheme is expected on
the part of the porte, but the Austrian
and Russian ambassadors demand the
adoption of the plan with the least pos
Sible delay.
1t is thought some of the other pow
ers may object to the appointment of
exclusively Austrian and Russian as
SCISSORS and demand that the commits
sion of control be given a more inter-
