KINGSTON. y. V, June 27.-CraScd
Nth fear ana exhausted from then

.Wo rciaa.linS Italian bandits, CON
,rontcd rs two of their puifsuerS armed
W.ih reviewers. weakly threw Up thclI
bands and surrendered. Thus, after
sixty hours Of pursuit. by numerous
gangs of mcn and boys, armed with
every conceivable weipon, from shot-
gun anil revolver TO hay rake and pitch
fork. The most exciting man hunt u!
>te- county has We known ended i'll Il
Iuiy wild west fashion. Not even the
bloodhornGs were lacking to make the
hunt realistic, for the local peniten-
tiary supplied three, which were i'm.
posing il ineffective.
When the news reached this city
that the bandits had been captured,
great crowds began TO gather, and
when at last the prisoners We're
brought in, handcutfed and bound in
great coils of rope, for the captors took
no chances, hundreds of people jeered
and howled until the terrified Italians
covered behind their captors for pro-
lection, fearing mob violence.
The arraignment before Judge Hum
phrey was equally dramatic. Until
chat time all the prisoners had refused
to talk. But there Vincenzo Crezella,
a brawny Sicilian, generally believed to
be the leader of the gang, broke down
and sobbingly begged to be sent back
to Italy. His broken talk of IL far
away sweetheart convinced many that
the whole desperate scheme had been
planned by him to get enough money
to return to his native country and
win his Sicilian bride. But this TO-
mantle explanation is not accepted by
others, who point out that $500 of the
-, T66 stolen by the highwaymen when
they held up LOngyear and. after rob
bling, bound him and left him helpless
by the roadside is still missing. This
they believe was the share of other
confederates, perhaps members of a To-
cal Malta of the Italians in the quar-
ries.
The story Of the capture of the ban
dts is replete with sensational details
of dime novel character. When the
pursuit became hot and the blood
hounds were close on the robbers trail
the four desperadoes separated. The

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The state
department does not contemplate any
claims upon the Moorish government
on account of the Perdicaris incident.
In its view that government has suf-
fercd severely both from Il financial
point of view and in national humilia-

that the Washington government will

Ills stock Goes Up.

The position of Acting Governor R. M. Cunningham on the lynching question. and his expressed determination to see the majesty of the law upheld has made him a great many friends and strengthen ed his position among the most substan- tial classes of citizens generally
 The determined position of the acting chief executive Is emphasized forcibly In his letter sent to all of the circuit judges of the state
 Seeing the trouble and being familiar with excuses made for lawlessness, the governor urges the judges to act quickly in all cases, calling special terms of court to try offenders at once. Governor Cum ningham, In his published statement, dis cusses the possibility of every effort to secure speedy trials failing, and the con sequent duty of the man in the gover- nor's chair. Under the present laws of the state he can only advise the judges, who have right to decline If they see fit, land no one should question either their honesty or sincerity" says the act. ing executive The attorney general has decided that there is no constitutional au- thority to direct any judge to hold a special term of court. and that any action of a term thus called, though authorized by an act of 1S9S-'99, could be set aside by the supreme court.
 This being so, he thought, there might arise conditions that would make 1t nec- essary to call a special session of the legislature to clear up all doubts and

Figures crom More eruesome.

St. Petersburg, May 9-The gruesome figures in the Russian losses on the Yalu are higher than had been reported by Major General Kashtalinsky, who. him self, appears to have been wounded by flying stone. The casualties show that one-fifth of General Zassalitchs com mand was placed out of action. The Eleventh and Twelfth regiments lost more than half their men in the fight. The third battery of the Third artillery brigade was almost annihilated, losing Ss in killed or wounded. and 72 out of 110 horses. The Second battery of the Sixth brigade lost heavily in killed and wound ed. The Third battery of the Sixth bri- gade lost "A killed or wounded and fl horses. Of the machine gun detachment, only 26 were not killed or wounded.
 The name of the priest of the Eleventh regiment who led the gallant charge, and who was among the wounded. Is H. E. Tcherbackoffsky of the Orthodox Greek church.
 General Kuropatkin says no prisoners were taken by the Japanese, but he. ad- mits that seven officers and 679 men were left on the field, hut 1t is not known whether they were wounded or dead
 The only gleam of brightness in the dark cloud overshowing the far east, lies in the official information from Major General PfIug that Port Arthur is not yet blockaded by the Japanese How this information was obtained. the of- f1cials will not say, but they insist that 1t is reliable, and are satisfied that the defenders will prevent the success of the further efforts which the Japanese will undoubtedly make to bottle up the har- bor.

Washington, May -(special)-The ac- tion of the Indiana democratic convention next Wednesday Is looked forward to by democrats here with more interest than any other political event of the near future Indiana Is close state. and the democrats this year have a good chance to carry it.
 Therefore, whatever the convention does will likely have greatl weight with the national convention at St. Louis. Until the past few days Judge Parker's sup porters have been confidently claiming that the judge would get the instructed vote of the state. This, 1t was declared, has been practically settled. It develops, however, that 1t is not certain that Judge Parker will have the Hoosier states thirty votes, and if this occurs it will be the worst setback the Parker boom has yet received.

Tuscaloosa, May S.-(special )-The Alabama, which was in session here dur ing the seventy-third annual council of the diocese of Alabama, proved a most interesting one. The address of welcome was made by Mrs. Ellen Peter Bryce, who gave a brief account of the work of the Woman's Auxiliary m the United States. The response was made by the president, Mrs. McMillian, who mapped out brief work to be done by the Ala bama branch. A constitution was then adopted.

 The auxiliary expressed a deep regret In the loss of Mrs. Warren, president. and Miss Williams, secretary of the auxi- liarv. but feel that the Bishop made a wise choice in the appointment of Mrs. McMillian, president, and Miss Noble, sacretary. in their places.

DEMAND EXCEEDS SUPPLY.
Requests for Press Seats at conven-
 tions Have Been Enormous.

Washington, May s.-Demand for press seats at the two national conventions far exceeds the capacity of the space set apart for the newspapers of the country. At the Chicago convention 290 seats were set apart in the press reservation, and already there have been received 1900 ap- plications. Tbe demand for seats at the St. Louis convention is also far in excess of the capacity of the space reserved for the press.
 At the recent meeting here of the sub- committee having in charge the Chicago convention. it was decided that notice should be given that applications not re- ceived prior to May 20 shall be given no consideration. Applications for seats in the press reservation at the Chicago con- vention should be sent to Charles w. Store. Custom House, Baltimore and for the St Louis convention to Charles H. Mann press gallery, house of representa- tives, Washington, D. C..
 The Hon. Gilbert Hitchcock of Omaha. Neb. has been delegated as chairman of the press committee for the St. Louis convention.

Bliss VIII Suit Roosevelt.

The talk of former Secretary of the Interior Bliss for the republican national committee chairmanship to succeed Sena- tor HaEna arises from his close connec- tion with the financial interests, and his acceptance would be gratifying to the president, who Is trying in every way to make himself solid with Wall street and make connection with a big cam paign fund. Senator Aldrich, 1t is be- lieved, here first suggested Bliss name and has also been working hard to get Bliss to accept.
 Like Aldrich Bliss Is violently op- posed to a revision of the tariff, and the protected industries with Bliss as chair man will receive plenty of assurance that the tariff Will not be touched. Bliss Is now nearly 72 years of age, ana 1t Is realized that in the event of his accept ance he would have nothing to do with the campaign further than to collect from the robber barons Many republi- cans point out that Bliss in his present position of treasurer of the committee is able to raise the money, and that the chairmanship should go to a younger man.
 Postmaster General Payne still has many supporters for the chairmanship, though his acceptance of the position would more than ever emphasize the post office stealing as an issue

Talk of Mcclellan Boom.

Two well known New York newspaper men are in Washington today. They are William G. Nicholas one of the fore west writers on financial topics in New York, and Harry w. Walker.
 Tn common with thousands of repub- licans," said MT. Nicholas today, T would be glad to see the democrats nomi- nate for President some sound man like Judge Gray, Senator German, D. R. Fran cis or George B. Mcclellan, for l think a ticket with one of these at It's head would win"
 In an interview here today MT. Walker said: "The one man who can sweep this country like a prairie fire is George B. Mcclellan. With him at the head of the ticket the democrats can carry New York by an enormous majority over Roosevslt. Mcclellan Is uncommonly wel-liked by the republican business men, who are pleased with the way he is running the city government, and look upon him as safe, prudent man. He Is favored by the rank and file of New York democrats and there Is an enthusiasm for him that Judge Alton Parker could never hope to arouse. The delegates who bound New York for Parker represent impregnable republican districts of the state"

 mutual duty of service, forbearance and faithfulness which it involves.
 What words can we find to express the abhorance which ought to rise in righteous indignation against the pres ent possibilities and the existing facts of the divorce habit in America! Just now polygamous Utah looms large and ugly In our minds. But we must look nearer home to realize the true condi- ton of things. The proportion of di- vorces to marriages in 1902 in eight states reporting statistics is as follows: Tn Maine, l to 6; in New Hampshire 1 to S.3; in Vermont, 1 to 10 in Massachusetts, l to l6; in Rhode Island to &; in Ohio i to S.S; in Indiana. l to 7.6; in Michigan. l to Il. In these states, there has been a steady and rapid increase in divorces during the decade, and this increase Is believed to be true of the country at large.
 Study of Best Methods.
 We are setting ourselves earnestly to study whak best methods the churches can adopt aud what wise measutes should be asked in civil legislation to abate this disgrace. The results of our study we hope to present in subsequent statements and appeals But this appeal is to the conscience of Christian people to cleanse and purify the atmosphere of public opin- ion and social recognition The fear of legahzed polygamy in one state Is en- haneed by the fact of unholy divorce In many states The faces of Christian peo- pie must be set against this The voices of Christian people must be lifted against this, not only to secure civil legislation not only to enforce church discipline but to correct the tendency to control the inclination and to condemn the fact
 We are pleading for the home for the family, for the children born and to be born, for the protection of society. and for the preservation of the state. We ask you to unite with us in earnest effort, so that more and more the man hood, the womanhood and the childhood of America may make itself heard and felt, in the determined purpose to stem the currents which are sapping the foun- datons of all that is best and holiest and dearest in human life. Let us strive unitedly for the things which are pure and true, for the sanctity of marriage. for the permanence of the family, for the preservation of the home, and for the perpetuity of the state''
