a Couple of the Celebrated Come

Many stories are told of Sothern's
original methods of entertaining his
friends at dinner, and possibly the
most amusing is that of the belated
guest. When, late in the dinner this
friend was announced, Mr.. Sothern ex-
claimed, Let us all hide under the
table," and down they all went save
Mr.. Sothern himself. who remained
seated. When the tardy guest entered.
Mr.. Sothern rose and received hin
with exquisite courtesy, saying, When
your name was announced, my guests
for some unaccouutable reason, all hid
under the table" After a few mo
mcnts of discomfort one by one they
crept out and back to their seats.

friends when that man you see over

way through the crowd, grasped Reed
by the hand and said effusively: Hello,
Tom, old boy! How do you do?'
"Reed responded in manner that
was more of shake for the man

HITCHCOCK ADMITS
HEAVY LAND FRAUDS.
Denies, However. That They Are as
Great as Reported.


Washington, Oct. 2S.-Secretarv
Hitchcock to-day said that the in
Vestigation on which he has been maxi
ing into land frauds on the Pacific
coast had been practically completed
and he hoped to be able to present
his report on them to the Department
of Justice by the close of the present
week.
The report will not at present be
made public" he said, "as that would
defeat the ends of Justice"
He also refused to discuss the con-
tents of the document, but confirmed
the generally current rumor that there
have been extensive efforts to defraud
the public. He said, however, that bad
as the condition is, it had been gross
ly exaggerated.
ut is absurd he said, ito saw that
the frauds amount to $15,0OO,OOO or
S1S,OOO,0OO or anything like that sum-
A million acres would be a large es-
innate of fraudulently entered lands,
and the government prices for lands
ranges from $1.25 to $3.50 per acre"
The Secretary also said that while
the investigation doubtless would in
volve some officials of the govern
ment he had not intimated that men,
bers of the United States Senate are
involved in the scandal.

DYNAMITE WAS FOUND
IN THE SEATTLE DEPOT.
Enough of the Explosive to Have
Caused Vast Destruction.


Caused Vast Destruction.
Seattle, Wash, Oct. 2S.-A quantity
of dynamite, done in two packages,
with fuses attached. all ready to light,
were found concealed in the lavatory
of the Interurban depot in this city
this afternoon. There was enough of
the explosive to have blown up all
the buildings within a radius of two
blocks and to damage property for
a distance of ten blocks from the de-
pot
The discovery was made by a la
borer named Wilson. who saw the
package behind the washstand, pulled
it out and found it was dynamite.
Evidently the dynamite was placed
in the depot to-day.
An explosion of dynamite occurred at
First and Jackson streets in the rear
of the Capital Hotel early Tuesday
morning, not more than $50 feet from
the depot building, and it was sup
posed the explosion was the work of
some drunken man. Now the mat
ter is viewed in a different light, and
a searching investigation is being made
by detectives.

BUT A DRUNKEN CELEBRANr
And Not WOuld-Be Assassin of
President Diax.

Mexico City Oct. 2s.-Reports from
Guanajuato minimize the first details
of the alleged attempt on the life Of
President Diaz. 1t is now stated that
Toscano was undoubtedly drunk.
The Mexican Herald's special CORE
spondent has wired that Toscano, who
was on horseback, fired into the air
as the Presidents car was passing. The
man claims he was moved at the mo-
ment to salute the President, but the
story is denied in some quarters.
The car was crowded with officials
and friends Of the President, so that
had Toscano fired at the car somebody
surely would have been hit.
President Diaz wires here that the
report of the attempt on his life is
false. However it is known that pre-
cautions were taken on the President
going to Guanajuato lest some fanatic
or crank should make an attempt on
his life.
High officials OF the government deny
that Toscano had any intention of
shooting the President.

A Large Section of the Wholesale
District Destroyed.
Paducah. KY. Oct. 2s.-Fire, which
started late tonight in the whole
sale grocery store of NJ. Livingston, at
Second and Broadway, has spread
rapidly until at 1880 o'clock it threat
ems the entire wholesale district.
The loss already inflicted is esti-
mated at 100000, and it may reach
81, 100000 before the flames are got
under control. as a number of other
large establishments adjoin those now
burning, and there seems little pros
pect of the firemen being able to save
them.
From the establishment of Living
ston & Son, the flames spread sue
cessively to the H. We'll & Son Whole
sale whiskey house, the Lagomarsino
Hotel, Michael Bros, wholesale sad
dlery, Lang Brosh drug store, and
the Western Union Telegraph Office.
All these buildings will prove a total
loss. The operators at the telegraph
Office will be driven out soon.
The guests at the Lagomarsino Hotel
are all Safe, so far as known, al
though they barely had time to don
their clothes and escape.

BELIEVED 1T REVOLUTION.

Madrid, Oct. 2S.-Gen. Velasco. the
military commandant at Bilbao, tele-

break the garrison occupied all STRAIT
egic positions with the view of pro-
tecting the banks, public buildings, fac
tories and markets, and especially the
Jesuit and other religious houses, which
the rioters seem determined to attack
1t is believed here that the movement
around Bilbao is assuming the pro-
portions of a social revolution, long
planned by Socialists and anarchists,
as was done in Barcelona two years
ago. Premier Villaverde has determ-
ined to establish order at any cost.
Newspaper reports of the disorder
in Bilbao represent the strikers as hav-
ing established a reign of terror. This
morning they attacked and pillaged
market stalls and shops and gorged
themselves with food and drink. After
destroying what they were unable to
consume they proceeded to erect bar
ricades in the streets. The infantry
charged a number of the barricades,
the strikers defended them with reck-
less courage, and desperate fighting en-
sued.
Five rioters were killed and many
were wounded.

RUSSIAN MINISTER VISITS
THE FRENCH CAPITAL.
Discussion of Far Eastern situation
Believed to BE On.


Believed to he On.
Paris, Oct. 2S.-Count Lamsdorff, the
Russian Foreign Minister, arrived here
to-day. NJ. Delcasse. the French Min
lister for Foreign Affairs, was at the
railroad station to extend a personal
greeting to the Russian minister Dur
ing the day many calls of courtesy
were exchanged.
The first formal conference between
Count Lamsdorff and M. Delcasse oc-
Cured at the Foreign Office this after
noon. Later the two statesmen pro-
ceeded together to the Elysee palace,
where President Loubet received Count
Lamsdorff, who presented an address
to the French republic, with an auto
graph letter from the Gear.
This evening Prince Ourousof gave a
small and select dinner at the Russian
embassy, at which Count Lamsdorff
and M. Delcasse again were brought
together.
The presence of Count Cassini at this
dinner is considered to indicate that
the attitude of the United States is a
factor in the present discussions
Count Cassini's knowledge of Chinese
affairs is also expected to serve use
full purpose.
These various meetings of the minis
ters have caused a wide range of specu-
lation. The ministers themselves, how
ever, have kept their own counsels and
no authoritative statement of the sub
jects discussed has been given out, but
the view is generally accepted that the
conferences covered the entire range of
Franco Russian relations, and particu-
larly the pending issues of the East and
Far East.

against injustice and oppression.
"And where those who survive the
terrible prosecutions are now perishing
from disease cold and hunger, we COM
mend to all Christian people the

whatever measures may contribute to
