Orders That No Negro Miners Be Allowed to Land. MILITIA WILL PREVENT IT. Cnlon Men Ordered to Arm to Give Who Wore Prevented From at Vlrdon Wore Taken to St. Louis. PAHA, 111., Oat.

telegram was received yesterday from Virden saying' that in all probability Manager Lukins of the Chicago-Virden Coal company would attempt to land at Pana the imported negroes who, after a bloody riot, were shut out at Virden. A conference was held by telephone between Captain Harris, Company Aurora, commanding' the militia here, and Adjutant General Reece and Governor Tanner at Springfield. The governor ordered Captain Harris to put on a guard at each of the coal mines and at approach of each railroad into I'ana and under no circumstances to permit any imported negroes to land in Pana. Captain Harris has only fifty-seven men under his command and he was ordered to call on citizens to assist him if necessary. The union miners, through their president, G.

G. Cravens, immediately, volunteered their services. Other citizens also volunteered their aid. In an interview Captain Harris said: The governor's orders shall be strictly obeyed and if any negroes are brought into Pana while I am in charge, and they refuse to retreat when ordered to do so, I will order my men to fire. All armed guards will be similarly dealt with.

The governor's orders shall be Strictly obeyed. If I lose every man under my command no negroes shall land in Pana. Captain Harris, in conference with the miners' president, Cravens, ordered the miners to get their guns and be in readiness to assist him in preventing the negroes from landing. The miners readily complied his request. VIKDEN, 111., Oct.

a rumor became general that the groes were to be brought back at any moment. Captain Craig's men immediately surrounded the railroad station' and the vicinity was cleared of citizens. Newspaper men alone are admitted to the premises. Lieutenant Henry stated that his orders are not to stop any more passenger trains as was done last night, but under no circumstances to allow thejiegro train to pass the depot. From now on the station premises will be kept clear of all citizens, and only those who want to take passage on trains will be permitted to pass the line.

As the result of a meeting held by a number of union miners during which the terrible fight of Wednesday was discussed, a warrant has been sworn out by Virgil Bishop, a union miner, charging the managers of the Chicago- Virden coal company, Lukens, Loekes, Yorke and others, with murder. ANARCHISTS FOILED. Officials Believe That the Kaiser Was in Danger. ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Oct. 17 Alexandria police have arrested nine Italian anarchists, and have thereby frustrated a plot against Emperor William, now on his way to the Holy Land, to be present at the consecration of the Church of the Savior at Jerusalem.

The first to be arrested is a cafe keeper, a well known anarchist, in whoso house the police discovered two wire-bound bombs of great strength, full of bullets. The arrest was made in consequence of a notification from the Italian consul general at Cairo that two anarch- ists had left Cairo for Port Said. The police investigation showed that the arrested cafe keeper had bribed the steward of a steamer sailing from Alexandria to Port Said and Syria to take on board a box of bombs. Apparently, the anarchists originally intended to use the bombs at the Palaias Abidin, at Cairo, while Emperor William and the khedive were there. When tha kaiser decided not to visit Egypt, the anarchists changed their plans and decided to attack him in Palestine.

The liveliest satisfaction is felt over the smart captures, and the German consulate has expressed his warmest thanks. "The two Cairo anarchists who left for Port Said have not yet been arrested. ff in WHY LOWE CONFESSED, Ills rail Deserted Him After He Was Arrested, Sayj Prosecuting Attorney. KANSAS CITY, Oct. 17 Prosecuting Attorney Frank M.

Lowe places implicit confidence in the confession of W. W. Lowe, the self- confessed train robber, at the same time he declares there is very little chance to convict any of the accused men. He bases his claim on the theory that train robbery is such a common thing in Jackson county that every intelligent and law-abiding citizen disqualifies himself for jury" duty in such cases by keeping thoroughly posted on all the details of every robbery. "The consequence is," said Mr.

Lowe, "that when the jury is selected to try these cases man on it will either have gotten on by delibarate perjury in order to befriend the accused or will be so ignorant he cannot be made to understand the evidence. "There have'been many, theories advanced as to why Lowe made his confession," continued the prosecutor, "lots of people asserting that he had been bribed to make it. I will tell you just why he made it. He had been engaged in a train robbery with a crowd of men whom he supposed were his friends. He was arrested and held for ten days and no move was made by them to come to his assistance.

Several times ho was on the verge of- confessing, but each time held back in hopes they would do something for him. Finally he became satisfied that they had deserted him and were going to let him be made the scapegoat and railroaded to the penitentiary while they enjoyed the money he had helped to steal. Then he concluded to try and save himself and he made his confession. Just note the difference between his case and that of Jesse James. As far as anyone knows Lowe had always been an honest man and his father before him had been honest, IS II Peace Protocol Will Not Be Modified to Suit Her Ideas, WILL HAVE CUBAN DEBT TO PAY Bagasta Urgod to Break Off Negotiations With Us and Call Upon Kurope to ArV bltrate or May Demand Costly Floating Dock.

yet no one rushed to his assistance when he was arrested and no one tried to have him released on a writ of habeas corpus. "The court house crowd has raised to defend Jesse James and swear he shall never go to the penitentiary. They have hired a lot of detectives and have set them to work looking into the facts connected with Lowe's confession, and claim that when the case comes to trial the city and railroad detectives will not dare to press it. It will be pressed fast enough, but as to securing a conviction that is another thing. There are plenty of deputy marshals and deputy clerks to go Philippines or of such portion as would MADRID, via Bayonne, Oct.

While the Spanish masses take little or no interest in the deliberations of the peace conference, the politicians and journalists are much depressed by the growing belief that the American commissioners will allow no modification of the terms of the protocol. Now tJiat Senor Montero Itios, the president of the Spanish commission, no longer professes any hope of being able to persuade the American commissioners to accept any proposition involving American assumption of Spain's financial obligations a gloomy feeling is spreading in ministerial circles, but among all classes of Spain's public men. That the American government may go further and even ask, as is reported here, for the costly floating dock at Havana and the heavy artillery of Spain in the Antilles, is an additional cause for dismay. In their rage there are not wanting prominent Spaniards who urge Senor Sagasta to break off the negotiations and to call upon Europe to arbitrate or intervene. Thus far, as is understood here, the question of the Philippines has not been formally raised in Paris.

When the matter is taken up then the real agony of Spain will come. Nowhere there been until very recently the least doubt that Spain would retain the Philippines. Very few have ever admitted to themselves that the American government would get even a naval coaling station there. But' there now trickles through the hands of the censors an occasional intimation that a large section of the American people is urging the government to retain the entire Philippine archipelago; and a paralyzing sense of what is nobody yet believes it to oppress all the well informed. Senor Sagasta is staking everything upon this retention of the TREASURES OF THE DEEP.

has just leaked out that a week ago burglars broke into the office of the Consolidated Milling and Hardware company, and, after breaking open a safe, escaped with in United States bonds of a recent issue. President George Christian received a letter offering to return the bonds if a reward were advertised in the local papers. Twenty-five dollars was offered. Another letter followed saying that this was too and that though the bonds were worthless to their present possessors they were worth a good deal to Mr. Christian.

CHICAGO, Oct. mamu factoring interests of the East and West will be revolutionized in the course of the next month if negotia-' tions toward the formation of a big combine, now apparently near a successful conclusion are carried through by agents here.

W. D. Baldwin of the Otis Elevator Company of New York, who has been in Chicago for some days attempting to complete the plan, left Chicago today for the East and it is said he carried with him an option on the plant of the Crane elevator company, that corporation, according to the rumors, having decided to leave the elevator field entirely. The other Chicago companies concerned in the deal are the Standard Elevator company and the Eaton Prince company, although definite action has not been taken by either of these establishments. For a year, it is said, the negotiations have been in progress, but until this week there have been difficulties which prevented the execution of the plan.

Spain's greatest difficulty is financial, and while her money matters are in better condition than they were at the close of the war, her resources have been pledged almost to theirlimit, the government depends for its subsistence have been cruelly curtailed. If she is to be compelled to carry the whole burden of the Cuban debt, while Cuba, out of which she might expect to get interest, slips away from her, there will be nothing left for her but I to offer some remaining colonial possessions to the highest bidder.

Whether Sagasta could defend the dynasty in the presence of such a calamity is very doubtful. tell of a sunken pirate schooner and a vessel of name and type unknown which foundered there during the reign of William and Mary. The existence of these two wrecks was perfectly well known in the they were examined by one of the first professional divers who worked on the Irish coast, Patrick Collins, and the father of the diver who is conducting the present endeavors. The elder Collins worked in what is now called "open drees," and experts in the progress of an 'exceedingly useful but little understood craft know that that was the invention, in 1819, of Siebe, and consisted merely of riveted to tho upper part of a protective and watertight garb which did not extend below the waist.

With this primitive gear he was able to recover some drinking I vessels, ivory tusks, head of Egyptian origin and coins of William and Mary, in addition to several guns. The diver was told that according to local legend the pirates had sunk their treasure chest, lashed between two guns, rather than allow it to be seized but no signs of it were to be seen. More than a month ago J. Mulcahy and T. R.

Holland entered into negotiations with a local salvage contractor to make further researches, engaging Collins, through whose instrumentality' chiefly the sunken lightship Puffin was raised last year. The result, so far, has that a dozen guns in remarkable preservation, and apparently about 100 years old, have been brought to tha surface, together with gold cola of William some more beads and ivory. The examination is, howerer, going on, and, if necessary, the hulls will be blown up with tonite or dynamite cartridges. These guns cannot, however, claim to be the oldest objects ever recovered from the deep. W.

WAR INQUIRY TESTIMONY. Shafter at Omaha.

OMAHA, Oct. General William R. Shafter was accorded most generous welcome by Qmaha yesterday. When his tJain arrived in the morning a largo number of people had gathered at the station to greet the hero of Santiago. Later, upon the exposition grounds, the manifestations of love and respect for the general were everywhere in evidence.

General Shafter was asked in regard to a statement from Lexington attributed to Colonel Breckinridge concerning 1 a scene at Santiago. General Shafter said: "I do not believe Colonel Breckinridge ever made the remark, and therefore 1 have nothing to say." To Avenge Her Husband. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. of the late Professor William Beard of Philadelphia preparing to start for a trip into Alaska. Her husband was sent to the Klondike for the North Star Mining company of Philadelphia.

It was reported that he perished in a snow slide on the Valdez glacier. His body was never recovered. Mrs. Beard believes was imirdered by his companions and she is going to Alaska to try and get evidence against those she believes his murderers. A Doctor Complains About tho Porto Rico Commissary Supplies.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Louis S. Seaman was the principal witness before the war investigating commission yesterday. He complained the supplies furnished the troops in Porto Rico were unsuited to the demands of a tropical climate, and that they were especially unfit for hospital use. He said he had been charge of the 200 convalescents brought North on the Obdam, and had been unable to secure suitable supplies for them from the government depots.

He confessed, however, that he had made no formal written requisition, but had acted upon statements made to him informally to the effect that no commutation of rations would be allowed, and also admitted that the Red Cross furnished all needed supplies, so there was no suffering. He refused to reply to some questions, declaring that he had been misrepresented by the press, and saying he would not reflect upon his superior officers while he wore the shoulder straps of a United States officer. St. Joseph, the criminal court, William Hathaway and James Hathaway pleaded guilty to the charge of robbing a Burlington passenger gust 11, last. Sentence has not yet been passed.

A Scotch university professor, irrN tuted to find that his students had got into the habit of placing their hats and icanes on his desk, instead of in the cloakroom, announced that the sext article of the kind placed there would be destroyed. Some days later the professor was called for a moment from the class room. A student slipped into his private room and emerged witb the professor's hat, which he placed conspicuously on the desk, while hia fellows grinned and trembled.

The professor, on returning, saw the hat, thought some rashly obstinate stuient had been delivered into his hands, and, taking out his knife, he cut the offending article to pieces, while vainly attempting to conceal the smile of triumph that played about his countenance.

WASHINGTON, Oct. agricultural department's report of agriculture in foreign countries for October says: The Hungarian minister of agriculture and the several commercial authorities have issued their estimates of the world's wheat crop of 1898.

The Iieerbohm estimate is equivalent to 2,040,000,000 bushels of CO pounds, varying but little from the Hungarian official estimate. The wheat crop of India for 1898, as officially reported, amounted to 212,980,000 bushels; that of 1897 to 182,057,483 the annual average for the previous five years was bushels. Official figures on area show an increase of 080,172 acres in France, of 218,080 acres in the United Kingdom, 103,800 in Ontario, Canada, and 147,350 in Manitoba under wheat. The world's crop of 189S is the largest on record, but the world 's reserve stocks had run extremely low before harvest. The sowing of the fall grain crops in Europe has been delayed by drought in a number of countries.

is not probable that there will be a muster out of any number of staff officers to correspond to the number of general officers ordered discharged a few days ago. The department finds, in view of the fact that a number of oftioers have resigned or been honorably discharged, that the demand for staff officers in different places makes it almost impossible to dispense with services of many more at present. A number of are oh tlie their places have to be supplied with others. It is therefore thought that few more discharges will be made. NOTES.
