BARTSCH IS DEMENTED RAN ALL THE WAY FROM NAco !, TO DON LUIS.
lrasires He Was Pursued by Mexi. cans Who Wished to Take His Life -Now at His Home in Bisbee.

-Now at His Home in Bisbee.
 About g o'clock last evening a man, his clothes wet with precipitation as the result of hard run from Naco. 8 wild look in his eyes and his hair ard clothing disarranged. arrived at the home of MT. and Mrs. Charles Won Erxleben. who reside on the road 5a. tween Bisbee and Don Luis The man entered the Won Erxleben home and told story of how he had been the intended victim of a plot on the part of Mexicans whereby he was to have been murdered
 He turned out to be Joe Bartsch, a miner whose family resides here in Bisbee. Bartsch said that while in Cananea he heard through the wall of his room party of Mexicaus plot ting to take his life because he was a scab. He at once bought a ticket to Bisbee and when he got to Naco his enemies were on the same train with him. He left the train, thinking to elude further pursuit and struck out across country for, Bisbee. He vas followed when but . short distance from Naco by the Mexicans. who were mounted. He explained his escape from them by the fact that he was afoot and was able to crawl between the many barb wire fences which be encountered while his enemies were okaved to -tde around the fences.
 This statement about the fn--r aroused the suspicion of Mrs. Erx- lehen. as there are no wire fences at any point between Naco and Bisbee The man seemed SO demented that she thought it would be a good ijea to place him in the hands of the authori- ties, so telephoned to the half way house of Charles Hull A message was sent to this city and Justice Me Donald and Constable Casad repaired to the Hull place. In the meantime Hull had taken Bartsch to his plac. and when the authorities arrived they fonf1i him in the care of Hull. Re tecognized Judge Mcdonald, but told such . story Of his eyneriences that it was plain to be seen that he was in a muddled frame of mind. Casad took him to his home in this city and lest a guard at the Bartsch house in Tomb stone canyon
 Bartsch had said that he left Bis- bee three weeks ago. but this was de- nied by his wife. who stated that he had left home but one week ago. He will be examined ss to his sanity and sent 10 Tombstone unless he shows imprcssmsst under the tnfuenes q Ihox6e 111s. Sss-~

AMERICANS ARE BLAMED.
Held Responsible For Failure Of the
Chinese to Paw Indemnity.


Picking, Jan. 1.-The ministers here
Of the foreign powers have telegraph
ed their governments the refusal OF
China to pay the international indem-
nifty in gold notes and have discussed
the matter among themselves.
1t is propoced to inform the Chin
csc government that failure to full
fill the obligations provided in the
protocol will entail grave conse-
quences.
The policy of the United States
presents an obstacle in the way OF
delivering joint note to China ON
the matter and the present difficulty
Is generally attributed to the encour-
agement given the Chinese by the
American governments Endorsement
Of their argument.

break Of the Boxer" troubles will be

The monument is OF white marble
arch spanning the principal business
street at the spot where Baron Won
Ketteler was assassinated.
Relying to inquiries from the lega-
tions, the foreign office today admitted
that there was some truth in the re-
ports of warlike preparations on the
part of Tang Fuh Slang, although 1t
characterizes the stories of his move

The foreign Office says the viceroys

THREATS AGAINST
CHINA ARE MADE.
Powers, Except America, ART
About to Unite in a Note
of Warming.
THE SITUATION is SERIOUS
The State Department Deems the Time
Ripe to Refer the Matter to the Hague
Question Regarding Payment
of Indemnity.

Picking, Jan, 5.--The signatories OF
the Chinese protocol. except the Amer
lean. have consulted their respective
governments and practically have de-
cided to identically notify China that
her failure to fulfill the obligations
provided for by the protocol will en-
tail grave consequences. A strong
sentiment exists in favor of compro-
mise If China will admit that the pro-
tocol demands the payment of the in
demnity on a gold basis and confine
her arguments to the hardships re-
sulting from the increase of the debt
by nearly 20 per cent since the sign
ing OF the protocol through the de-
probation in the value Of silver, and
the probable further increase from the
expected adoption of the gold standard
In the Philippines and in the Straits
settlements. But the powers refuse
to waive the pluin Interpretation OF
the protocol. The danger exists that
Ii China maintains her position some
Of the powers may demand territory
or concessions for compensation.
Washington, Jan. 5.-The state de-
partment has received confirmatory
advices from Picking Of the declina.,
tlOA vi Uu6 pOWeTS 10 TSCSlNt LuSlFl
second indemnity installment on the
silver basis. It is not understood that
the declination was accompanied by
threat, but the action itself Is re-
garded as sinister, II, as has been sug.
gested, 1t is not taken with view to
making record of the position Of the
powers in this matter. The situation
Is regarded here as warranting some
concern, though, unless the Washing,
ton government is to utterly discred.
1t every statement of the powers in
the past two years whenever the pos.
sibility of division of China came up,
it cannot believe there is an intention
to proceed to extremes. 1t is again
suggested that the time is ripe for q
reference of this important issue to
The Hague tribunal, contamination
devoutly wished for by China and q
cause which has commended itself to-
the Washington government. The
United States, which Is interested
equally with the other powers in get
ting as much money as it can in the
shape of indemnity, still feels bound
by moral law to support the Chinese
contention for the silver basis, look
ing not only upon the language OF the
protocols and the licking treaty itself
but also having solicitous regard
for Chinas integrity and perpetuity
as a nation. The other powers are
united in. demanding a settlement on
the gold basis. LIN.

MAYOR OF SAN JUAN ARRESTED.
He and Others Are Accused of Pc
culiarities Of Public Funds.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. 5.-The
mayor of this city, Manuel Egozzue,
has been arrested and is held in S..
600 bail on the charge made by Insu.
lar Official Inspector Hoist, of destroy.
ing the records of the city water re.
ceipts, which constituted the only
evidence of talleged extensive pecu-
lations and embezzlement
The alleged charges against the
mayor were originally made in Octo-
Der in a petition of citizens which was
presented to the governor and which
asked for prosecution of the mayor
The editor of the News, which pub
lished the text of the petition, was ar
rested October % on the complaint OF
the mayor on a charge of libel. This
arrest caused considerable excitement,
which ended in the shooting of two
men. Since then three other officials
have been arrested and are being
prosecuted for alleged shortage in
their acountst and for entertainments
The populations are said to range
from $4,000 to $4,000 and misappro-
priations Of other funds are also al

The arrest of the mayor led to great
excitement. Mobs congregated in the
plaza and streets and surrounded the

WABASH TRAIN WRECKED.
Two Cars Crushed BY Engine and
Conductor Crowley Injured.

Des Moines, Jan. EAST bound
Rock Island freight No. "a, in charge
of Conductor Kline, caused a wreck
near Great Western Junction at 9:55
last night, by running through the in.
coming Wabash freight No. ST, in
charge Of Conductor Crowley and En-.
gtneer Margram. With the exception
Of Conductor Crawley, no one was
injured, although a lady and child.
passengers on the Wabash freight,
and the crews were badly shaken up
The scene of the collision is neal
East Eighteenth and Market streets
and at the junction of the Rock Is
land tracks. They cross at an angle
of about As degrees.
The Wabash train carried eighteen
cars and a caboose and sixteen Of
these had cleared the crossing when
Rock Island train hit the first of the
last two cars. The two cars were
loaded with coal ard so great was the
force Of the impact that they were
literally smashed to pieces and toss
ed into ten foot ditch to the north
of the tracks. The only part of the
two which remained intact were the
rear trucks of the first car. The ca
bose was turned half around and
stood straight across the tracks.
The Rock Island engine was one OF
the big 1400 series and with the ex
ception of the loss of the pilot sus,
tanned no damage, and when 1t back
ed away from the ruins threw light
from its Lead on the wreck.
Conductor Crawley of the Wabash
train lays the blame of the wreck on
the Rock Island engineer and said
that the latter did not whistle for the
crossing or ring his bell. Both trains
were travelling at good rate Of speed
and the headlight Of the incoming
train was probably obscured from the
view Of the Rock Island engineer by
the big Eighteenth street elevator.
The sixteen cars of the Wabash
train which were not injured by the
collision were pulled into the city and
switch engine was sent after Craw-
ley, who was removed to Mercy hos
pital in charge Of DR.. Finlayson. His
injuries, though serious, are not neces-
sary fatal. His right ankle was dis
located, he was badly bruised all over
his body and sustained internal injur.
les which make the case serious.

HAPPENINGS I'M
HAWkEYEDOM
What Has Been Going on
During the Past
Week.
MUST KEEP THE FEE RECORD,
Executive Council Passes on the Merriam
Case-Bold Hold-up of a Farmer and
His Wife Takes Place Near Bussey-One
of Robbers Seriously Wounded.

Des Moiaes, Jan. 3.-The state ex-
ecutive council yesterday issued
statement in the matter Of the con-
troversy between insurance companies
and State Auditor Merriam which has
been setting the state officials against
each other for some weeks. The mem
bers of the council believed that a
proper and fair statement of the case
wyas due the public and this has been
made.
The official opinion Of the attorney
general was read and considered by
the council at the forenoon meeting,
all the members being present. Attor-
ney General Mullan held, in the mat
ter of the right and authority of the
state auditor to make examinations of
insurance companies outside the state
that, as previously stated, the law is
ambiguous and it cannot certainly be
affirmed that the state auditor has not
the authority to make such examina-
tions. But he also held distinctly, and
this is a most important point. that
when the law refers to foreign" in
surance companies it means those out
side the state and not necessarily
those in other nations. This is con-
trary to the holding of State Auditor
Merriam, who has proceeded on the
theory that the foreign insurance com.
panies referred to in the statute are
those outside of the United State.
The most important point in the
opinion was that the state auditor
must keep a public record Of these ex'
aminations and Of the fees received
This has not before been done.
Mr.. Merriam explained to the coun
Gil that he had brought up the mat.
ter of his authority with the former
executive council and 1t had been in
formally decided he had authority to
make examinations. If any individual
company questioned his authority he
would be given specific authority in
that case. He read letter he had re-
ceived from Secretary Shaw in which
he stated that the matter was dis
cussed in this way and that there was
some such understanding. This let
ter also received the approval Of Mr.
Dobson, who was on the council at the
same time. Mr.. Merriam explained
that he had not heard from Lieut.
Governor Herriott, the other member
of the council.
In regard to the record of examina
tons Mr. Merriam stated he had the
record. He did not have the record
of fees, but would get 1t and make II
a part of the records Of the office.
The councils statement sets forth
these and other facts relating to the
matter, criticises the auditor for fail
ure to keep the records and for the
other irregularities. This will prob
ably be the end Of the matter unless
the insurance companies have some
thing further. :,

JUDGE GIVEN APPOINTED.
Named by Governor cummins TO
Polk County Bench.

Des Moines, Jan. 5.--Judge Josiah
Given. nearly thirteen years one Of
the judges of the supreme court oil
Iowa, and for many years district
Judge, has been appointed by Govern
or Cummins to fill the vacancy on the
Polk county district bench caused by
the death Of Judge G. p. Holmes
Judge Given has consented to serve
and he has assured Governor Cummins
he win not be candidate before the
primaries or the convention.
Following the announcement Of the
appointment, Governor Cummins au
thorized the following statement Civ
ing his reasons for the selection o.
Judge Given:
81 have appointed Josiah Given tc
fill the vacancy caused by the death OF
Judge Holmes, and in view of the con
test made before me, think it is moi
inappropriate 70 state briefly my rea
sons for so doing. / have been in
formed that the nominating primaries
will be held early in March. A repub
lican candidate for Judge will then b.
selected by the republican voters Of
the county, and inasmuch as so little
time intervenes before this expression
of the people will take place, believe
it to be my duty to leave the several
aspirants for judicial honors without
either the advantage or disadvantage
which an appointment of either would
confer or impose. The fact that the
members of the bar differ so radically
in their preferences deepens the con
viction that the course suggested il.
the proper one. Judge Given is emf
nently qualified for the Office and
therefore the public will, during th'
short time that he will be on the
bench, be efficiently served. He ha,
informed me that he will not be can
didate before the primaries or conven
ton"
Judge Given will hold office until
his successor is elected and qualified
following the November election. He
is now dean of the law school of High
land Park college He is upwards o.
70 years Of age. He Is a distinguished
veteran of the Mexican and civil wars
and his career on the bench has beer
an interesting one. He was on the
Polk county district bench for mum
Der Of years, and March IL, 1889, was
appointed to fill the vacancy ON the SUI
preme bench caused by the resigna'
ton Of Joseph R. Reed. He was elect
ed November 5. 1889, for the balance
of the unexpired term and also for the

TRAINMEN NAY GO ON STRIKE.
Unless Demand is Acceded to by JAN
uary Men viii Quit Work.

Des Moines, Jan. 2.-Trainmen on
all the railway systems west Of
Chicago are asking raise of 20 per
cent in their present wage scale. I'm
less their demands are acceded to or
compromise affected by January 5,
1903, the demand will be attempted to
be enforced by strike. Should the
strike lie declared every train run.
ming west of Chicago would be
brought to a standstill. Everything
but the United States mails will be
tied up. Coming on the heels of the
coal famine the strike would be q
most serious affair and would proba-
bly, entail great suffering throughout
the west II long continued.
The wage demanded Is based on the
argument Of the strikers that the
cost Of living has been advancing
steadily during the past three years
and that at the same time there has
been no increase in the prices for
labor.
1t Is generally believed that the
railway companies and their men will
settle the trouble without resorting
to that final arbitration Of labor dis
putes-the strike. The men are in
clined to concede something IL this
is necessary to bring about peace and
the railroad managers are generally
of the opinion that the demand for q
wage increase Is warranted.
