A Mexican Arrested in Arizona Who
Will Probably Be Shot.
Phcenix, Ariz., Aug 12.—Manuel Garcia, a
Mexican and citizen of Sonora, was arrested
yesterday on the Gila charged with the mur-
der of a prominent Mexican official of Alamos
Sonora, on June 15,1887. He has spent the
intervening time in Calif and the northwest,
only coming back to Arizona a few weeks
81 nee. He will be taken out on requisition
papers by Governor Torres. He is said to
have borne a bad reputation in his native
country, and shooting will undoubtedly be his
lot.
Probably Fatal Accident.
Denveb, Col., Aug. 12.—Shortly after mid-
night a collision occurred between the Circle
railroad train and an electric car in South
Denver. It was at first reported that eight
passengers were hurt. Upon investigation it
was found that only one passenger, M. V.
Silsinger, was hurt, but he will probably die.
The electrio car was totally wrecked.
Competiton has reduced prices
and charges so, that there is
scarcely any room for further
improvement in that direction
among first class houses who
will insist on doing a legiti-
mate business.

London, Aug. 12.—[Copyrighted, 1892, by
the New York Associated Press. |—Gladstone
will go to (Isborno house Monday with a com-
plete list of names to be submitted to the
queen, but in pursuance to the usages ho
maintains absolute silence as to tho appoint-
ments. It has been impossible to conceal the
arrangements made for Sir William Vernon
Harcourt at tho exchequer and John Mor-
ley as Irish secretary, but all of Mr.
Gladstone's intention* regarding the other
ministers are not known, not even to some
fully appointed members of his cabinet. He
has discussed the situation with his chief ad-
visors without definitely communicating to
anyone his final selections. Being a punctilious
observer of olllcial precedent, ho will not
formally offer tho placo to anyone until he
has actually received the queen's commands
to form a ministry.
Surmises are rifo regarding the now minis-
terial combinations. Among tho most strik-
ing reports finding credence in official legal
quarters is one to the effect that Lord
Hersehel will become governor general of
India. Lord Chief Justice Coleridge will be-
corno Lord Chancellor and Sir Charles Russell
will become lord chief justice.
To transfor Lord Hersehel from tho bench
to the political responsibilities of tho vice
royalty of India would be incredible but for
tho known fact that he has long desired to bo
a prominent figure in the political arena. Ho
has tho highest opinion of his abilities as an
administrator and if the report is correct lie
must have con|jnced Mr. Gladstone of his
worth. But his appointment will cause a
shudder of apprehension throughout the
country in view of the critical position of In-
dian-Russian relations.
Until Tuesday, when Gladstone returns, tho
exact composition of the cabinet will be un-
known. The queen will have an unusually ex-
citing time during the conference with Glad-
stone over tha nominations. The names of the
old groups re-entering the cabinet she knows,
most of tho new names she does not know.
This is known in court circles and it is tho
fear regarding the porsonncl of the Gladstone
ministry that mainly induced the queen to
consult the Duke of Devonshire during tiis
visit to Osborne house, just concluded, as to
whether it was possible for him to reunite
with Gladstone and make strength in the
cabinet,
Another source of the queen's disquietude
is the appointments in the royal household in-
evitable on Gladstone's accession to power,
While the liberal ranks included old whig
families changes in the royal house mattered
little to tho queen. One duchess succeeded
another as mistress of the robes, and a lady of
tho bedchamber could easily bo recruited
from the whig aristocracy, but now Gladstone
has small choice and will find it exceedingly
difficult to get jiersonages agreeable to "
queen to fill the great court offices.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report
MsauffiurnjRE
' Kite house of commons will resume business
onT"hursday next mainly to issue writs for
the re-election of ministers. Most members
of the house have already left town and in-
tend not to return until the opening of tho
session in January. Neither Gladstone nor
his leading colleagues will appear in the
house on Thursday. The necessary official
announcement will bo made in their behalf
by tho senior member of the new government
who is not required to be re-elected. The
prorogation of parliament is expected to take
placo August 22.
Arrangements for tho meeting of tho inter-
national monetary conference are progress-
ing. The selection of Dresden finds approval
among tho English delegates. In regard to
the personnel of tho English representatives
the Associated Press fcorrespondent to-day
heard the opinion of tho prominent currency
expert. Mr. Curry, according to this author-
ity, is the strongest man appointed. Ho
has no tendency whatever toward binietalism ;
ou tho contrary, ho is sound for a singlo
standard. Currie is a man of groat financial
ability and a member of the banking firm of
Glinn, Mills, Currio <fc Co., besidos being a
member of the council of India. Ho incited
the Baring Bros, settlement with the Bank of
England and is otherwise known among finan-
ciers as a man of first rate capacity. But his
appointment has a special significance for the
American government as meaning his influ-
ence will ovorrule any inclination of his co-
delegates towards arrangements satisfactory
to America. Of the other representatives Sir
C. F. Freeman is a niono-metalist, Sir W. W.
Holdworth nnd General Strachey are bi-me-
talists, and M. Murray, who is treasury clerk,
is neutral, Tho members of the conference
will have a pleasant time in Dresden, but will
effect little.
Paul Tenoy Bigolow is about to start, for
America to take the stump for Cleveland.'Re-
garding his expulsion from Russia he writes:
It is some two months since the American le-
gation in St. Petersburg formally requested
the Russian government to permit two Amer-
icans (Bigelow and Remington) to mako a
canoe voyage along the coast of Russia but
the Russian foreign office has not deignod to
inuke an answer. _____
The Ministers Resign.
London, Aug. 12.—Members of the cabinet
at noon to-day met and formally agreed to
resign. Most of tho ministers left town to-
day. At 1 p. m. this afternoon Lord Salis-
bury left London on a special train for Ports-
mouth, whence he will embark for the Isle of
Wight. His destination was Osborne houso
where he tendered the queen the resignation
of tho conservative ministry. Gladstone saved
one journey to Osborne house, tho queen hav-
ing arranged to convey her commands to him
to form a ministry by her private secretary.
Gladstone will, however, go to Osborne house
Monday to fulfill the usual custom of kissing
the hand of her majesty.
Gladstone was up early this morning. Ho
took a long drivo and ou his return devoted
most of tho day to receiving colleagues.
A group of idlers gathered about the foroign
offico early in the day to see tho last of the
conservative cabinet as they gathered for
final meeting. Thero was a holiday appear-
ance about the ministers. Balfour and Stan-
hope, secretary of state and war, were dressed
in blue serge suits and wore billy-cock hats
and brown shoes.
General Ponsonby visited Gladstone this
afternoon, as arranged, and presented to hitn
her majesty's command to form a new gov-
ernment.
Bloody Battle.
New York, Aug. 12.—Tho Herald's Trini-
dad, W. I., dispatch says: Barranca on tho
Orinoco was captured by government troops
after a desperate fight yesterday. During tho
engagement General Valdez, in command of
the legalists, received mortal wounds. The
Crespists retired in good order and were reor-
ganized by General Ducharne. They ad-
vanced on Barrancas this morning and took
the town by assault. The fighting was of the
most bloodthirsty character and the opposite
troops frequently engaged in hand to hand
encounters, using machete and bayonet nnd
rifles as clubs. Tho loMOs on both sides nre
heavy, but tho exact dumber killed and
wounded is not yet known. I he legalist fnreo
is estimated at 400(1 men all nnneu and they
are advancing rapidly on Cuiilad, Bolivar, nnd
Solidad and another bloody fight is cxpected
any time,

SENSATIONAL MUEDEE.
and
A Woman Terribly Ill-Treated
Thrown Into the River.
Louisville, Ky., Aug. 12.—[Special.]—
A sensational crime has just come
to light. Sunday morning the body
of a woman was washed ashore
at Willow Point, Ind., opposite this city. It
was identified as that of Mary Lcngel, a
former chambermaid of Eckorts' hotel this
city and tho theory was suicide. After
the police and detective departments of
ho two cities dropped tho case it reporter found
the woman hud boon outraged and murdered
by two men. Four boys, Walter Farroll.' J as.
N. Morrison, ('has. Heitaeli und Wilbur
Smith, saw two men drag a woman through a
suburb of Jefferson late Saturday night, out-
rage her near tho river bank, beat her
nnd then drag her to tho bar bolow the
Pennsylvania railway bridge where they left
here. The woman screamed as tho blows
were rained down on her head. One of tho
men wore a derby hat, a black coat and a
light pair of pants. The boys were so fright-
ened that they wero afraid to talk until last
night when one of them recognized
a picture of the dead woman in a daily as
being the one of tho woman they had seen in
the hands of tho two men. A trip to tho
river shows evidences of a desperate struggle,
and the woman's fan was found there. Tho
men probably killed the woman nnd then
hurled the body into the rapids of the falls.
The head was crushed in and this was thought
to have been caused by the body striking tho
rocks.
ABOUT THE CROPS.
The St. Louis Republic's Weekly Report
of Their Condition.
St. Lottis, Mo., Aug. 12.—The Republic's
weekly summary of its cotton reports says
that thero has been but little change in the
condition of growing cotton siuce tho first re-
port, a week ago. In Texas suitable rains are
reported from many points, thus improving
prospects that wero already very promising,
so that more than an averago yield is expected
there. On the other hand, the prospect in
Louisiana is darker than first reported on
alluvial lands, while cotton in the uplands—
where less rain has fallen—is somewhat im-
proved.
The prospects are better in South Carolina
anil the crop is holding its own in Mississippi
and Alabama, though in parts of Mississippi
not more than half a crop is reported. In
Arkansas the crop is expected to reach a little
over GO per cent of last year, though the re-
planted fields in the overflowed districts are
said to be doing vory well. The plant is about
ten days late in the Memphis district and can
not reach an average crop.
There is little said in the reports about dan-
ger from rot, rust or worms, none of which
havo thus far cut much figure itrprospeets.

The Questions Answered.
Washington, Aug. 12.—[Special.]— Acting
Secretary Nettleton has written a letter to ex-
ltepresentativc C. H. Bragdou of Goklsboro,
N. C., in response to certain inquiries in re-
gard to the conducting of public aflal rs under
the last and the present administration. Tho
question of "Did Cleveland or his secretary of
the treasury let tho banks havo the use of the
deposits of public money belonging to the
government without interest?" Mr. Nettle-
ton says that tho treasury department has no
anthority to loan public moneys with or with-
out interest, and that as a mutter of fact no
interest has been received for deposits with
the banks, but during the last administration
public deposits with national bank deposito-
ries were increasod from tho surplus revenues
from about $20,000,000 to about $G2,000,000,
which deposits bore no interest and were fully
secured by United States bonds. Tho deposits,
however, havo since been withdrawn from time
to time until at the present the entire amount
of deposits with national bank depositories is
only about $1G,000,000, includingneurly $4,000,-
000 due to tho disbursing officers.
The question as to whether Cleveland over
borrowed gold in England to pay interest to
foreign bondholders is* answered in the nega-
tive. Mr. Nettleton adds that the interest on
the public debt is payable in this country and.
tho government of the United States has not
for many years found it necessary to borrow
money either ut home or abroad to pay inter-
est on its indebtedness.
Denver, Col.. Aug. 12,-Tlic knights are
| leaving town rapidly, some to go home, others
j to make tours of tin? state. There are enough
j remaining, liowover, to make the city ox-
| tremely lively. It is estimated that there were
| 1011,500 visitors in Denver from the outside
| during the weok. Thero wero probably iiO,OIJO
or 40,000 state residents in the town during the
week. Denver took care of the crowd of peo-
ple, equal to her own population. Over ;!lif),000
piecosof baggage wore handled and as many
packages.
The Maple Leaf club, composed of Canadian
residents of Denver, gave a public concert at
the ( ity park to-day. The music was fur-
nished by the famous Hamilton band of <'nn-
nda, which accompanies St. Bernard's com-
mandory of Chicago.
Many of the residents of Denver kept open
house to-night nnd tho Knights were enter-
tained royally. A largo number visited Mani-
tou Springs, Pike's Peak mid other points of
interest in the state during the dav and en-
joyed themselves immensely. It was a beauti-
ful day and the knights had a jolly time.
To-night the triennial committee tendered
an elegant banquet to the officers of the grand
encampment. The Brown Palace hotel
served the banquet. There were over lioO
knights present. During tho festivities Sir
Knight Patten of Salem, Ore,, presented
Grand Master Gobin with a peculiar gavel.
It is made of Oregon oak and in the center is
the form of a Maltose cross. The oak is a
solid block taken from the tree just as it grew
nnd the cross formation was the work of na-
ture.
The grand encampment finished the work
of tho 25th triennial conclave and adjourned
to-day, after having installed the newiy
elected officers. Grand Master McCurdy made
the following additional appointments, which,

of Ohio, grand standard-bearer; H. M. Ora-
hood of Colorado, grand warden; John A,

shire, John G. Smith of Illinois, Ferd .1. S.
Gorj ts of Maryland, John Frizzelie of Ten-

New York, Aug. 12.—[Special.]—The Free-
man's Journal and Catholic Register, which a
few days ago stirred up a bitter discussion in
this city by virtually assorting that a proof of

that he camo by it legitimately, it was not

WILL NOT GIVE UP THE NOTES.
Tho Victorians and tho Pun-American
Road A Sad Case.
^ ictohia, Tex., Aug. 12.—The committee
having in charge the notes of citizens covering
their subscriptions to the bonus donated to
the Pan-American railway has refused to de-
liver the notes to the railway company until
tl»t» latter shall furnish satisfactory evidence
of their ability and intention to complete tho
road as per their contract with the people of
this county. Tlic agreement between the com-
pany itrid the citizens was that the latter
would turn over notes representing one-eighth
ot the bonus on the completion of each ten
miles ol road. The company has completed
ten miles of the track, but a9 they have
censeij operations nnd there is no evidence of
uny immediate intention on their part to con-
tinue the work, the committee has decided to
withhold the not<\s. There is no desire on the
part of our people to avoid their obligation!.
On the contrary, they are both willing and
nnxious to comply with their purt, but insist
that tin- railway company must comply with
the contract to compieto eighty miles oi road,
and according to the terms of the contract
they have but little moro than a year still to
do it in.

HORRIBLE A00IDENT.
A Building Falls and Crushes a Number
cl Workman.
Oudex, X. J., Aug. 12.—A building which
was being erected here fell this afternoon,
burying twenty men beneath the ruins. One
dead man and four fatally injured hate al-
ready been taken from the ruinp. aud the work
of digging out the remainder is now going on.
The accident occurred by the sudden giving
way of a derrick, causing '.he entire structure
of massive wooden beams and tim-
bers to collapse. But few workuun
escaped uninjured. There is great excite-
ment, and a big crowd of men employed in
other factories stopped work and search lor
the bodies was immediately begun.
I'he first victim taken from the ruins was
an ltah«B.workman. The man was dead and
his body terribly mangled. Soon after thrc«
others werelound and removed dying. Uptoa
late hour to-uight twelve men had been taken
out, all seriously and four fatally wounded.
Several others, it is feared, will die. The in-
juries of those tnken from the ruins are of tho
most terrible nature, the limbs of some being
torn oil, while the faces and bodies of others
wore crushed almost beyond recognition.

PLANET MARS.
What the Astronomer Iloyal Says on tho
Subject.
London, Aug. 12.—[Special.]--A reporter
had an interview to-day with the astronomer
royal in regard to tho observation of tho
planet Mars. Ho said he had seen nothing
new and did not expoct much would be learned
at Greenwich, as the observatory there was
too far north for favorable observation, be-
side the observers did not have a sufficiently
powerful telescope in position. The weather
was thick and this also added to the disad-
vantage at Greenwich. The best results, ho
added, ought to bo expected from the ob-
servatory of Prof. Pickering of Harvard col-
lege, who is taking observations from a point
at the top of the Andes in Peru, or from Aus-
tralia or the Capo of Good Hope. He de-
clared that there must ou some mistake in
that statement attributed to Prof. Payne of
N'orthfield, Minn., that his was the only ob-
servatory from which were seen tho satellites
of Mars. This was hardly possible, ho
thought, as tho telescopes at tho Carleton ob-
servatory could not compare with the Lick or
Washington observatory telescopes.
