Among the boodle were several bottles of champagne. Mr. H. Simmons, steward of the club, had left the place about 2 o'clock, as is his custom, and returning to the rooms at about four for the purpose of looking after the fires, which he leaves to keep the place warm, found that burglars had entered during his absence and carried away all the liquor and cigars in the place. In a private letter addressed to the Age, Mr. Simmons, the steward, states that the club has been restocked and a cordial welcome is extended to all visitors. --- For Holiday Goods 6 White Plates, 7in. = = 50c 6 Cups and Saucers, = = 50c Wear Clothe A man can save money and wearing clo The Conne are all made expressly for well and wear well.

A head-on collision occurred between two Santa re freight trains in Cajon pass, above San Bernardino, Cal., recently. Two men, Conductor Stewart and Fireman Charles W. Beckett, were killed, while one other man will probably die. The wreck is thought to have been due to confusion of train orders. At Great Falls, Mont., James J. Murray committed suicide recently by shooting himself in the mouth. About eight years ago Murray, while acting as footrace starter, accidently shot and killed killed Robert Robinson, a spectator. He was tried for involuntary manslaughter and given one year in prison. The killing preyed upon his mind and the prison sentence aggravated his troubles. Joseph Moser, Jr., and Albert Moser, two young men of Whitney, Idaho, were killed in a snowslide in Cub River canyon, Utah, recently. The two Mosers, with three other young men, were engaged in getting out firewood when the slide occurred. The whole party were caught in the slide, but three of them managed to extricate themselves and later assisted in recovering the bodies of the two victims.

The Navajo Indians on their reservation in New Mexico, 60 or 70 miles south of Durango, are in a starving condition. VENEZUELA ANSWERED She Must Pay 30 Per Cent of Custom Receipts. Washington, Jan. 28.—In a consultation of Ambassador Desplanches of Italy, Herbert of Great Britain and Count Quadt of Germany with United States Minister Bowen of Venezuela the answers of these governments were presented to the proposal made by Venezuela. The answers call for the payment to the governments of 30 per cent of Venezuela's custom receipts as an indemnity guaranty. It is understood this will be accepted with slight modification. The blockade of Venezuelan ports will probably be raised by Thursday or Friday of the present week. While Minister Bowen was hopeful that the Venezuelan blockade would be raised at an early day, there was no definite statement possible until today. The question to be settled was the portion of customs receipts to be given, Germany demanding 50 per cent and England being willing to accept 30 per cent. A 30 per cent levy would relieve any pressing claims of the allies and obviate the necessity of a cash payment. LYNCH SENTENCED FOR LIFE. He Was Tried on Charge of High Treason. London, Jan. 27.—It is stated in official circles this morning that Colonel Arthur Lynch's sentence will be commuted to life imprisonment and may be the subject for further consideration after a limited number of years. Colonel Lynch was tried on a charge of high treason and sentenced to death. During the late war in South Africa he accepted a commission in the Boer army. While engaged in fighting in the ranks of England's then enemies he was elected a member of the British parliament from the County Galway, Ireland. At the close of the war he returned to Ireland and was immediately arrested. His plea was that he considered himself, during the progress of the war, a citizen of the Dutch republic, but claimed his seat on an old ruling of the English courts that his return to his native land made him again a citizen of the United Kingdom. Henry Cummins Shot Down. Middlesboro, Ky., Jan. 26.—Henry Cummins, notorious among the highways of the mountains, met death from ambush before daybreak here on one of the principal streets. James A. Turner, who was walking with him, was shot in the arm. The assassins are unknown. It is common report that Cummins killed John Gorham president of the United Mine Workers' union, two years ago, Greenwood Ward soon afterward, and about a year later Branham Elam, a Kentuckian, and the death of others is generally attributed to him. Wreck Kills Two. Williamsport, Pa., Jan. 27.—Two killed and two fatally injured are the results of a derailed freight train on the North Branch railway this morning. The accident occurred at Lake Mokama. The train consisted of a locomotive and 20 cars, the latter loaded with merchandise. The train went over a 40-foot embankment and the scene is a mass of debris. The cars are piled on top of each other, and timbers, car trucks and miscellaneous merchandise are scattered over a considerable space of ground. British Object to Treaty. London.—The reciprocity treaty between Cuba and the United States threatens to raise one of the most serious differences of opinion between Great Britain and the United States that has occurred for years. So much importance is attached to the matter that a meeting of the cabinet is being specially summoned to see what action can be taken. There is, of course, no alarmist feeling as to any possible straining of diplomatic relations, but Great Britain's entire commercial policy is believed to be vitally concerned. FATAL GOAL MINE DISASTER NEAR TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA— TWO ARE DEAD. Fourteen Others Are Imprisoned Far Below the Surface—Fire Started From a Stove—Cable Cage Useless —Sad News Spread Rapidly—Impossible to Estimate Loss of Lives. Terre Haute, Ind., Jan. 27.—As the result of a fire started from a stove at the Tepple coal mine, about two miles west of here, two men are dead and 14 others are imprisoned far below the surface. The fire started from a stove and the flames spread so rapidly that the cable cage was rendered useless. The bodies of the three men who were suffocated were brought to the surface, but the party of rescuers were prevented by the flames from reaching the imprisoned miners. The news of the fire spread rapidly and relatives and friends of the men who are imprisoned soon crowded about the mine. The officers of the company are on the ground and with the assistance of many willing hands are doing everything possible to save the men who are below. The scenes about the mine are heart-rending. Weeping mothers, wives and children crowd in and out among the sturdy moners, begging for some word of comfort or hope, but their faces picture their hopelessness as they turn from one to the other, as it is impossible for anyone to say what the chances are or what condition the men are in who are confined in the various drifts in the body of the mine. It is impossible, also, to estimate the number of dead, as several may die before the rescuers are able to reach them. MONTANA EVENTS It is reported that Bozeman will soon have another bank. Measles is the most prevalent alliment in Spokane at present. A man named Ludwig Hansen was killed in a stone quarry recently near Josephine. Mrs. Marcus Daly states that she would donate a building for the new public library at Missoula. Incorporation papers for the Clyde Park Livestock & Land company have been filed with the county clerk at Livingston. George E. Van Buren committed suicide last week at Missoula, shooting himself through the heart with a small caller rifle. Charles H. Martien, county assessor of Lewis and Clarke county, was recently elected president by the Montana Assessors' association. Report comes from Poplar that the range in the northern part of the state is in very bad condition and that stock are dying for lack of grass. The first shipment of sheep from Bozeman for some time was made last week. Four thousand head were shipped to Carsten Brothers, Seattle. James J. Murray, a blacksmith employed in mine No. 4 at Stockett, committed suicide recently by shooting himself in the mouth with a 32-caliber revolver. The engineering department force of the Great Northern railway at Havre has been reduced, and only a few men will be employed until the spring opens. Joseph H. McKnight, an old resident of Great Falls, a cattle man and identified with many business interests in northern Montana for the past twenty years, is dead. Gus Streit, who committed suicide in Salt Lake recently, was well known in Helena. He was a member of Company L, First Montana Volunteers, having enlisted in Helena. Burt De Shazo, alias Sweet, held in Butte on two charges of forgery and wanted in several parts of the west for similar crimes, committed suicide in the Silver Bow county jail last week. In the district court at Billings the jury in the case of James Cook and Laurie Harris, charged with having driven suck from the accustomed range, brought in a verdict of guilty. The First National bank of Leaven worth, Kan., has commenced suit for the foreclosure of a mortgage against the Ryan Bros. Cattle company, of Billings, in which judgment for $115,000 is asked. The largest wool clip in the history of Montana; prices which went skyward; all indications pointing to a wool famine through the rest of the country next spring and consequent high prices; excellent range conditions; and plenty of feed for winter everywhere make sheepmen of this state happy this year. This state sent out 33,000,000 pounds of wool in that time. This is 3,000,000 pounds more than it exported the year before. Murder or Suicide. Berlin, Jan. 29.—Prince Wolfgang Stolberg was found dead this morning in his park near the castle at an early hour and excitement runs high as the dead nobleman was very popular. A rifle was found beside the body and an investigation is being made to disclose whether it was a case of murder or suicide. Charity Fund Grows. Mexico City, Jan. 27.—The charity committee at Mazatlan has received up to date $130,000 for use in combating the plague. Money is still pouring in from all parts of the country. DOBLIN RETRACTS. Says He Lied About Quigg Last Sat urgey Washington, Jan. 27.—Philip Doblin, who testified before the house committee on naval affairs on Saturday that he had approached Representative Lessler of New York with an offer of money to influence Mr. Lessler's vote on the submarine bill, made the astounding statement before the committee that he made statements on Saturday which were not true, and that he wanted to retract his statement that Mr. Quigg had tendered a bribe to him. The statement came without any previous warning that Doblin intended making any such retraction. Members of the committee looked at one another in amazement as Doblin went on with his statement. Doblin was rigidly cross-examined by practically every member of the committee and pressed vigorously for an explanation of his action, but he persisted in saying that he was telling the truth and adhered to the demands. When Doblin left the stand the committee's program, which contemplated calling Dr. W. B. Kerr to the stand, was abandoned, and it went into secret session. Some of the members, in view of the remarkable developments, favored dropping the investigation, but others urged that it be continued. It is understood that Mr. Lessler asked that he be permitted to make a statement, and said that he had another witness he would call, whereupon the committee decided to meet again at 10:30 tomorrow. Representative Lessler was present in the committee room when Doblin gave his testimony. Just before Doblin went on the stand Mr. Rogers asked that such immunity be accorded him as was with in the power of the committee. Mr. Taylor said only such immunity as the statute gives could be accorded. HARRY MUELLER SUICIDES: Saloon Keeper of Ritzville Shoots Himself. Ritzville, Wash., Jan. 26.—Harry Mueller of the firm of Mueller & Palmetter, retail liquor dealers, committed suicide at his home in the north town. Mr. Mueller, with his wife and child, were sleeping downstairs, when Mr. Mueller awakened, and, kissing his wife, told her it was too crowded and he would sleep the remainder of the night upstairs. Mrs. Mueller went to sleep again. Soon after she heard the muffled report of a revolver, but being almost asleep, paid no attention to it, thinking it came from a remote part of town. She arose at 8:30 a. m. and, finding Mr. Mueller was not downstairs, went up to call him, when, on opening the door to the bedroom, she was startled to see her husband in a kneeling position with his head resting on the bed. On closer examination, Mrs. Mueller discovered her husband was dead, and gave the alarm. Dr. Adams upon examination found Mr. Mueller, had been dead four or five hours. Mueller had shot himself in the right temple, the ball passing through the head and lodging beneath the skin over the left ear. Mueller was kneeling, with his head and left arm resting on the bed. The revolver was fired with his right hand. It is thought by friends that ill health was the cause of suicide, Mueller's health being almost gone. BELLO HOLDS THE FORT German Warships Unable to Pass San Carlos. Maracalbo, Venezuela, Jan. 25.—A boat with the representative of the Associated Press on board, which was sent from here to Fort San Carlos, has returned to Maracalbo, bringing the news that the German warships had not shelled the fort since Thursday night. When the boat left San Carlos the German cruiser Panther was the only war vessel in sight. She was about one mile from the bar. The village of San Carlos, consisting of 80 houses, built of wood and straw and inhabited by 250 fisher folk, was totally burned as the result of having been set on fire by the explosion of shells from the warships. The garrison at San Carlos, numbering 239 men, was still holding the fort when the boat left the island. As the walls of the fort are below the earth lines they are still in good condition. The Panther attempted to pass through the straits in front of the fort, but desisted from doing so probably from the danger in navigating those waters. Cascade City, B. C., Jan. 26.—Willie Thompson, aged 11, son of A. H. Thompson, was accidentally drowned in Kettle river at Baulne's ferry. He undertook to cross the river in a rowboat and the boat was soon seen drifting with no occupant. Search resulted in the finding of the body. Major Glenn Free. Manila.-The arguments in the trial by court martial of Major Edwin F. Glenn, charged with unlawfully killing prisoners of war, has been heard and the court submitted a verdict which was believed to be an acquittal, although the finding was not announced. Mercer Was a Defaulter San Francisco, Jan. 28.—Win Mercer, the famous baseball pitcher who committed suicide, has been discovered to have been short in his accounts. It is estimated that he squandered $5000 at the race tracks. He lost all the money his clubs made on their recent western trip. FIFTY-ONE WOMEN ARE KNOWN TO BE DEAD. State Hospital for Women in North London Partially Destroyed—Staid in Jewish Wing, Containing 600 Inmates—Lunatics Were Panic Stricken—Number Escaped. London, Jan. 29.—Fifty-one women are known to be dead as the result of a fire which partially destroyed the state insane asylum at Coney riatch, North London, at 5:30 o'clock in the morning. The fire, which was one of the most sensational seen here in years, started in the Jewish wing of the building, which has 600 inmates. The building is located on an eminence and the steep approach made it difficult for the fire department to reach the scene. The fire had a big headway when the firemen arrived and pandemonium reigned. The lunatics who had been awakened from their sleep by cries of fire, the crackling of the flames and the fast gathering clouds of smoke were like a herd of wild beasts. They broke away from the attendants and raced up and down the corridors, shrieking at the top of their voices. A number of the patients escaped from the building and are still at large. The firemen devoted their entire attention to the main building, leaving the wing, which was hopelessly at the mercy of the flames, to be destroyed. At 8 o'clock the fire was under control. At first it was delivered that all of the inmates had been taken out or had escaped in the confusion, but after the fire was under control and further investigation was made several bodies were discovered in the smoldering debris, disfigured beyond possible recognition or identification. All Inmates Women. All of the inmates of the building were women. The report of the fire spread rapidly and soon the building was surrounded by the agonized and horrified relatives of the unfortunate inmates, whose sufferings were intensified because of the inability of the officers and attendants to give out any reliable statement as to the number of the dead and injured or even a list of the survivors. All London is thrilled with the horror of the fire. Details only add to the agony. It seems nothing had been provided for such an emergency. There were no fire escapes, no water was available and there was no system of protection or appliances. The building is surrounded by high walls. It is a filmsy affair of corrugated iron and wood, built for temporary use five years ago. The inmates were mostly feeble old women. Many were seen to struggle to break the bars, then fall back in the flames. There are 2600 inmates in the entire institution. At noon 51 bodies had been recovered. This list will probably be increased. Pu Chun an Emperor Victoria, B. C.—According to advices received from China another crisis is imminent in the north. Tung Fu Hsiang, in conjunction with Prince Tuan, and abetted by Yung Lu and other officials of the Chinese government, has proclaimed a new emperor in the person of Prince Tuan's son, Pu Chun, the youth whom the empress dowager made heir apparent and then dismissed. He has been proclaimed emperor under the title of Tung Hsu at Tung Yunseing, the town of the Alashan Mongols, and the palace at Hsian, to which the empress fled in 1891 is being made ready to receive him.

Seattle, Wash., Jan. 29.-Right in the heart of the city of Seattle there is a band of Japanese outlaws who have been carrying on their depredations with a high hand. This band, headed by one Gorda, in many ways resembles the Highbinders of Chinese circles. Already one Jap lodging house has been blown up by dynamite, one Japanese laborer has been hacked to pieces and others cut and shot.

A great many women suffer with a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which does not seem to yield to ordinary medical treatment. While the symptoms seem to be similar to those of ordinary indigestion, yet the medicines universally prescribed do not seem to restore the patient's normal condition. Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused by derangement of the female organism, and which, while it causes disturbance similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without a medicine which not only acts as a stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine effects as well. Thousands of testimonial letters prove beyond question that nothing will relieve this distressing condition so surely as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It always works in harmony with the female system. Mrs. Pinkham advises sick women free. Address Lymn, Mass.

He Had Twice Shot Joseph Hoy, a Bartender in Wonder Saloon—Was About to Shoot' Again When He Was Shot—He Had Lined Up the Loungers in Saloon Along the Wall. Davenport, Wash., Jan. 29.—Shots from the pistols of Marshal Jack O'Farrell and Deputy Marshal Eperley cut short the murderous career of Charles Hill in the Wonder saloon just at the moment that Hill was about to fire a third bullet into the body of Joseph Hoy, then prostrate. One bullet passed through the right lung of Hoy, while the other struck him in the forehead, almost between the eyes. He died half an hour later. Before the officers arrived Hill had terrorized the occupants of the saloon, telling them he was there to kill William Sullivan, the proprietor. He had twice shot Hoy, who was off duty, and Hoy was prostrate on the floor when the officers arrived. Hill who is of a sandy complexion, tall, and about 40 years of age, came to town today from the farm of Charles Turner, south of Davenport. He had been drinking, it is said, when he entered the Wonder saloon, where Hoy, who is a cousin of the proprietor, William Sullivan, was on duty. Sullivan was there at the time and was a participant in an altercation which arose later. Hill being one of the aggressors. Hill finally left the saloon, after saying he would get a gun and kill Sullivan. He procured a weapon, but it was taken from him by his friends. He was still full of fight, however, and procured another gun, this time from the Vendome, and this weapon also was taken from him. A third time he went after a "shooting iron" and was successful in avoiding those he knew would try to deprive him of it. It was dark when he entered the Wonder saloon, bent, as he said to the occupants, upon an errand of destruction. He had come to kill Sullivan, he said. According to the stories of the same bystanders, "he wanted to see some man die," "to watch him bleed to death," and talked in that strain for some time. Once inside the saloon, he found Sullivan missing. Sullivan, it appears, was attending lodge. Hill compelled the saloon loungers, seven or eight in number, to line up against the wall. He was determined that none should go outside to give the alarm. Among those in the saloon was Joseph Hoy, day bartender. It has not yet been divulged what impelled Hill to begin shooting at Hoy, but he soon turned loose his ammunition at the cousin of the man he had sworn to kill. Twice he wounded Hoy, once through the cheek, once through the shoulder. Hoy will recover. While the shooting was going on the bystanders, lined up against the wall, were helpless, they say, to ald Hoy, who by this time had fallen to the floor. Hill was standing over his prostate victim, about in the center of the saloon, with his back to the front door, when the door opened and Marshal Jack O'Farrell and Deputy Marshal Albert Epperly made their appearance. Hill turned quickly, weapon in hand, to see who was approaching. As he turned the officers leveled their weapons and pulled triggers. Hill was mortally wounded by the two bullets, one of which lodged in his right lung, the other entering the forehead, almost between the eyes. He lived about a half hour. Hill was known as "Swede Charlie." It is not known whence he came or whether he had a wife or other relatives. Controls Turkish Tobacco.

Washington.—The treaty between the United States and the government of Colombia which was recently signed by Secretary Hay and Dr. Herran as the representative of the two countries, has been transmitted to the senate and by the senate referred to the committee on foreign relations. By the terms of the treaty the United States agrees to make a cash payment of $10,000,000 in gold to the Colombian government and after the expiration of nine years to pay a rental of $250,000 per year.

The strip is to be 10 kilometers, or six miles, in width and over this territory the United States is given police and sanitary jurisdiction, although it is explicitly specified that Colombia does not surrender sovereignty over it. The United States is to have the privilege of free importation of vessels and material to be used in the construction of the canal.

Those islands have been won to them by the blood of our innocent, adventure-loving young men, solely through the hardheartedness of the money kings for their own agrandizement, and what good to them think you, would the islands be, with the wealth of that vast partly submerged region left untitled? None, and cannot oe, unless it be peopled by a submissive ribe. The natives of that country have mostly gone down to death through defence; therefore, more must be supplied or owait years for the few remaining ones to multiply. Doubtless the picturing, of those partly tropical regions to you is and will be very bright, by minds hired for the purpose. They employ the "wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove" attitude, men who have not lived there in the capacity that you will be called upon to experience and who could not be hired so to do, are therefore not honest, competent judges or that which they strive to interest you to take part in. You surely have not forgotten the misery your ancestors suffered when brought into civilization and subjected to slavery, and that is nothing to what awaits you over there. The conductore of this scheme seek to have you and care nothing for your good, for they look upon the whole colored race as only a "lot of cattle. Indeed they laborers with that brand. To swell their own bank accounts is their one aim in life, and as money buys power today, so do they who deal in money. Lives are nothing to them. You my colored friends are a prolific race, as all races in their youth and unwisdom are. You are also a hardy one and easily submissive and happy. --- A WARNING. op. 55.....C. Kolling Mrs. R. P.

THE NEW YORK TIMES and mayor of the city refused to give her protection from the lawless ignoramuses, who for no other reason but that of her color, created the disturbance. These are your God-given endow, ments; so use them in the upbuilding of your own homes, right here in the United States, and do not for a moment be caught by the glamorous tales of these would-be decelvers. If you go there to colonize go armed with intelligence upon the matter. Go with the understanding that you will be set down in a wilderness with water all about you and no means of escape. (Don't be tricked to go, as many came to this country, during the time of the "Turnbull" colonizing fraud to Florida.) First thing to do would be to send a number of envoys over there of your own race; men that you know may not be bought to work against you; who will look intelligently into the whole scheme, both sides and will render a just report. Go in small numbers, or alone; not in droves as sheep to the slaughter, for that is how it will end for many of you under the most favorable circumstances. You were brought here against your will. You have acquired, by virtue of your inate patience, the ease of civilization. You are as free as it is possible for you to be in the present stage of your mental unfoldments. The ignorant are the only barbarians and superstition their king. Not manny years ago a colonization scheme was set afloat to entrap the poor unwary Swedish people. This came about under my own eyes. They were promised a certain number of rods of land each, and good houses to each family. This land was situated in a good fruit and garden locality in the beautiful Cumberland mountains in West Virginia; so the emigrants were lead to believe. The description was all very fine and many were entrapped by it. Each person must pay a stipulated sum of money and all they need do was to emigrate to their new homes and find the house ready built to receive them. What did they find upon their arrival? A tramp of twenty miles over a mountainous road to a mountain side, rocky and baren, except for an occasional forest tree, late in the fall, and the to-be comfortable dwelling, a mere long sheep stable, or three sided shed built of the roughest of green lumber, which was divided off into stalls—a stall for each family.. They had no floor and no front. They fared well to what you may do in the philippine islands, for they THE NEW AGE came to a civilized country, not far from established communities. What did those confidence trixters care for the welfare of the poor ignorant Swedish emigrants? Not a tjite! They had their money and that was what they wanted. Well, the poor taings could not stay there because of the close approach of winter, so they dispersed; some going to one adjacent town and some to another to battle with poverty and an unknown tongue. Was the hand of God in this? Good came out of it for the innocent ones, as good comes out of all things. They were compelled to reason, to learn, to think; the time had come for a two-fold step to be taken in their advancement, as nature does not permit one part of the globe to progress far in advance of another. All must come up compartitively together. (Continued next week) [Name] This sketch represents one of Butte's foremost leaders of society.
