A Dangerous Lunatic.

An insane man who gives bis name
as J. Everest Worthington, whose for
mer place of residence the police have
been unable to learn, has been captured
within the block of the State-house, in
Topeka, Kansas, where he said he was
going to kill Gov. f. w. Hoch. The
man was unarmed, but he is of power
full build and undoubtedly would have
handled the chief executive roughly had
he not been intercepted. Worthington
is now In the county Jail, and will be
sent to an asylum.
Communication with the man is held
by means of written questions and an
swers, as he pretends to be deaf and
dumb. In answer TO question in re.
gard to what his purpose was with the
governor, WorthingtOn said al was
inspired by Pyrus, the god of fire, to
come to Topeka and kill Gov. HOch.
| have sworn eternal vengeance against
all statesmen who pretend that they are
self made men. If it had not been for
his officer who captured me Gov. Hoch
would have been no more, for when !
was arrested | was on my way to the
capitol to kill him. One who has risen
from obscurity to high place is the
worst enemy of the impecunious genteel.
Therefore ! hate Hoch."
Worthington dresses we'll aud has the
appearance of a man of intelligence.
He is tall and strong and has red hair
and blue eyes.

The Gar.

London, April 5.-Henry Labouchere
in an article which appears in Truth
SAYS /: "From what | hear from a per-
son who is certainly likely to know what
happens at the Russian court, | believe
the stories about the Czar's depression
and despair are false. On the contrary
he follows his usual avocations. Moth
ing that bias transpired seems to have
had any effect on his spirits. This only
confirms the view that never was man
more unfit to be the agtocrat OF an

The Earthauake An India

Lahore, British India, April g.
Reports which are coming in from the
hill stations constantly increase the list
of casualties and tie figures as to the
amount of damage done by the earth
quake which was felt over wide ter
ritory Yesterday. Exact figures are not
vet obtainable, but the number of deaths
is sure to be large. The destruction
of the native houses in the districts
affected was general. Last night many
women and children were iolced to sleep
in the open air, and suffered greatly
from the frost and cold. There is lack
of food at Delhi aud Simla and other
cities are similarly affected. Great
havoc was wrought at Dharmsala, hill
station. The native quarter was en-
tirely obliterated, and almost the entire
population was buried in the ruins.
Most oEthe houses in the European
quarter were wrecked and nine deaths
have been reported. The town is located
in the Puniaub province and had "a popu-
lation OF between 5000 and 5000.
Those of the natives who escaped are
sleeping on the hillsides. Indescribable
havoc was wrought in the town. There
is total lack of medical aid or of food
and the distress is unparalleled in the
history Of the country. A special relief
parry was sent out this morning to
assist the survivors.

the widow of the dead man to Assistant
District Rand is not clearly conjecture.
1t is known however, that Mrs. Young
called at the earnest request of the assist.

was for the comparing the handwriting
of the letters with that OF persons whose
names have already been mentioned in
the case.
Cincinnati, April 5.-Judge Smith
this morning proposed the hearing OF

his wife until next Monday on request of

RussIa,s internal Troubles.

Berlin, April 5.-Dispatches received
from st. Petersburg indicate that despite
the official denials of serious trouble,
the internal difficulties of Russia are
fast approaching crisis. Preparations
for armed resistance are being made in
the Caucasus and an army is being raised
to oppose the troops. The rebellion is
spreading throughout the entire region.
1t is reported that 10000 armed rebels
have gathered in the mountains and
have elected king. Eight thousand
revolutionary workmen from Batoum,
Baku, and Poti are on the way to rein
force this force. Sixsother retel contin-
gents numbering 1000, 1900, 1900,
1000, 900, and 400 men, respectively,
are operating in different parts of the
Caucasus. The plan is to bring all the
revolutionary forces together in the
mountains. If this can be accomplished
it would give the king an army of over
25, men. The present government
cannot spare more than 5000 men 10
oppose the reyolutionaries. Military
authorities express the opinion that in
view of the spread of the rebellion, it
will take decade to fully pacify the
Caucasus again. The workmen at Ba-
toum and POti have exacted a six hour
work day and unprecedented rates of
payment for their labor. They are com.
plete masters of the situation. Serious
trouble in these districts is anticipated.

the State in a friendly contest, al the
same time avoiding all means or methods
that might in the slightest degree cause

The provisions of the Santo Domingo
treaty, it is said in Washington, will be
executed as soon as possible. The fact
that the Senate has not acted upon 1t will
not restrain the administration. I'm
official action has already been taken
looking to the appointment OF an inter-
national commission to adjudicate the
claims against the Dominican govern
ment. 1t is assumed that every claim
pending has been swelled to enormous
proportions, with the idea that there is
to be a general looting of the Dominican
treasury. The American claims are no
exception to the assumption. 1t is as
serted that the cash actually invested in
Santo Domingo by the SantO Domingo
Improvement Company amounted to
only 81, 500. On that investment the
company has received an arbitral award
amounting to substantially, $4,000, OOO
The arbitration was merely as to how
the claim should be paid.
