Omaha, Neb., Jan. 3. — Barrett |
Scott, defaulting treasurer of Holt
county to the extent of several thou-
sand dollars, is supposed to have be« i j
hanged by vigilantes, who then throw
the body into a cr> Scott, pend- j
ing examination, had * .en released
on bail, and Monday took a drive,
accompanied by his wife, daughter
and niece, Miss McWhorter, several
miles east of this city in the country. '
They had started to return home and .
had gone but a short distance when a
volley of shots was fired into their '
carriage from ambush by masked
men. One of the bullets pierced
Scott’s ear and scratched his temple.
Another struck a steel m Miss
McWhorter’s corset, then glanced off,
inflicting a flesh wound and lodging
in her clothing. One horse was in-
stantly killed and the other mortally
wounded.
The vigilantes then attached an-
other pair of horses to the carriage,
drove the entire party over the
prairie, finally depositing the women
and commanding them to go to a farm
house a short distance away. Scott
and his driver, Henry Smith, were
then blindfolded and taken toward
the Niobrara river, where Smith was
released and told to go home. This
is the last seen of Scott, and it is sup-
posed that he was treated the same
as James Hill and his son a short
time ago—hanged and thrown into
the river.
Mrs. Scott, daughter and Miss Mc-
Whorter returned to this city about 1
o’clock yesterday morning, and when
the details of the affair became known
friends organized a posse and started
in pursuit of the men.
Scott's defalcation as county treas-
urer of Holt county, his flight to Mex-
ico, his subsequent arrest, the strong
fight made against his extradition,
his return in irons, incarceration,
trial, conviction, sentence, appeal
and release on bonds two weeks ago,
have been told at length from time to
time since a year ago last August,
when the discovery of his criminality
was first made public.
NO ABATEMENN OF WAR.
Japan WTill Push on Until Peace Pleni-
potentiaries Agree to Terms.
Washington, Jan. 3.—Minister Ku-
rino of Japau said yesterday that in

armistice and no abatement in the
war between Japan and China
until the peace plenipotentiaries
have actually assembled, have formu-
lated some basis which will warrant a
► cessation of hostilities and have them-
selves asked for an armistice. Mr.
Kurino received unofficial informa-
tion that a manifesto had been pre-
sented to the Japanese parliament by
the Liberal party breath’ug the war
spirit and asking the government to
push on to Pekin before accepting an
armistice.

Lost in the Albany Fire.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 3.—Although
seventeen persons, all attaches of the
house, are supposed to be in the ruins
of the Delevan hotel, no attempt has
been made to search the ruins, for the
whole mass is so hot that work is im-
possible. Chief Higgins, of the fire
♦ department, says: “I do not know
ho;v many persons perished, but of
their remains not even a bone will be
found, for, in my opinion, every vic-
tim must have been completely incin-
erated.”
Will Not Go on the Stage.
Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 3.—One
of Sanger Pros.’ employes has just
returned from St. Louis, where he
met his old friend, Frank James. In
speaking of the talk that he will ap-
pear in a sensational train robbery
melo-drama, Frank James says: “Tell
the people that Frank James is not a
wild man. Tell them that he has too
much respect for himself and for
them to insult their intelligence by
going on the stage in the role of a
train robber.”
Will Ask Mills to Beslgn.
f Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 3.—A res-
olution which will be introduced in

Washington, Jan. 4 —This morning |
Congressman Tarsney of Missouri 1
called on the president to introduce |
General Frisbee, the head of the
American colony in Mexico. On oc-
casions of this character the president
does not ordinarily discuss legislative
matters, but directly General Frisbee
had been presented, the president be-
gan to question Mr. Tarsney as to the
purpose of the house. He deprecated
the contentious spirit manifested and
repeatedly said that something must
be done.
“Would you advise,” asked Mr.
Tarsney, “the passage of this bill just
as it is?”
The president responded that the
measure was by no means perfect,
that it did not go far enough, but that
it was in the right direction and
would afford some measure of much
needed relief.
“Then you wish this bill to bo
passed precisely as it stands?” per-
sisted Mr. Tarsney.
“Yes,” definitely and decisively an-
swered Mr. Cleveland, evidently de-
spairing of a more perfect measure,
“and I hope you will take hold and
help put it through.”
THE HOUSE RESUMES WORK.
Debate on the Currency Bill Taken Up
Again in Short Order.
Washington, Jan. 4.—The heuso
presented an animated scene when it
was called to order by Speaker Crisp
to-day. The galleries were crowded
and over half the members were in
their seats. In the diplomatic gallery
were the Japanese minister and his
secretary and many prominent per-
sonages looked down from the re-
served gallery.
After the call of committees for re-
ports Mr. Quigg of New York at-
tempted to offer a resolution relating
to salaries in the New York postoffice,
but Mr. Springer, in charge of the
currency bill, cut him off with a
motion to go into committee of the
whole for the further consideration
of that bill.
Accordingly the house went into
committee, Sir. Richardson of Ten-
nessee iu the chair and Mr. Black of
Georgia, a m mber of the banking
and currency committee, took the
floor in favor of the bill.
Mr. Haughen of Wisconsin, who fol-
lowed, opposed the measure.
Mr. McCreary of Kentucky said that
he proposed to support the bill largely
because Secretary Carlisle urged it,
because it was the only bill that
could pass, and because if it did not
pass the treasury would be compelled
to issue $150,000,000 of bonds.
Mr. Williams of Kentucky followed,
reading a twenty minute speech, in
which he attributed the result of the
last election to popular indignation
against his party for failure to keep
it’s pledges.

ing out all provisions for an income
tax and substituting a new woolen
schedule, including a duty on raw
wool.
The resolution of Mr. Allen relat-
ing to the senate restaurant was then
taken up and Mr. Allen addressed the
senate at some length. He thought
the restaurant should not be fur-
nished by the government. Messrs.
Hale and Mauderson thought the best
interests of the senate demanded that
there be no change.
At 2 o’clock the senate resumed con-
sideration of the Nicaragua canal bill,
Senator Morgan speaking.

ANsrI Missouri D*a»c*Rlle SsmImti
Ciims a Parly Panic.
Jefferson City Mo., Jan.\ .—When
the senate convened this morning the
programme was for the Democrats to !
elect their permanent officers selected
at the caucus last night. They 1
started to do this and had just i
reached roll call on the election of i
presides: pro tom., when the discov- ‘
cry was made that three Democratic ,
senators were absent.
This stampeded the Democrats, for 1
they did not have enough votes pres- j
ent to elect the officers of their own
caucus. A hasty search through com-
mittee rooms failed to locate the
truants, so Senator Peers moved that j
the senate take a recess until 2 o’clock
this afternoon. Eveyy Democrat voted !
for the recess and it carried.
The incident shows how much j
trouble is iu store for the Democratic
majority in the senate. Tlu-y must
hold all their members in line or else ;
the aggressive minority will slip into l
the saddle.
The Democratic senators who were
absent were Walker, Goodykoontz and
Bledsoe. Every Republican member
was present.
The senate organization was com- j
pleted at \ o’clock, the absent Dem-
ocrats being rouuded up and brought
in.
The morning session of the house
was devoted entirely to the formal
organization and the election of the
list of permanent officers selected by
the Republicans at their caucus.
CANNOT SUE INDIAN NATIONS.
Tlio Tribes Occupy the Sum« Plane as
Independent Nations.
St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 4.—In the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals, Judges Caldwell and Thayer
on the bench, an interesting decision
was rendered yesterday as to the lia-
bility of an Indian tribe to be sued as
a nation. It was the case of George
S. Thebes, who sued the Choctaw
tribe for $110,349 for professional
services rendered the nation
in lobbying in Washington. The
defendants demurred to the complaint
on the ground that the federal court
in the Indian territory had no juris-
diction of the person of the defendants
and of the subject matter of the
action. The court sustained the de-
murrer and this court affirms the
judgment. The decision, which is by
Judge Caldwell, discusses the status
of the several nations, and says that
it seems to have been the policy of
congress to regard them as self-gov-
erning communities. They are not
sovereign states, but so far as suits
brought against them, the policy is to
place them on the plane of independ-
ent states. A state without its con-
sent cannot be sued by an individual.
Congress might have allowed the na-
tions to be sued, but it has never
done so.
THE CLIMAX OF ROBBERY.
Cincinnati's I’ostofllce Itohbml In Mld-
nfternoon nnd a Clerk ltiwlly Benton.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 4.—At 2:30
o’clock this afternoon two men
entered the government building
and made inquiries at different
departments for work. Most of the
force was out at lunch when they en-
tered the office of the cashier of the
postoffice and found Frank II. Sparks,
one of the clerks, alone. It was pay
day and over $4,000 in envelopes was
on the table.
One of the men asked for change
for a $5 bill. While Sparks was ac-
commodating him the other man
dashed through the door, which hap-
pened to be open. Both men seized
Sparks and lie was knocked senseless.
The men seized the money with its
contents of $867 and escaped.
There was a large crowd in and
about the building at the time, but no
one seemed to know of the robbery
until almost an hour later. It is a
mystery to all how the escape was
made. _ _
Defied l>y Mrs. Illucknian.
Topeka, Kan.. Jan. 4.—Governor
Lcwelling called for the resigna-
tions of the Leavenworth police
board to take effect January
l, but instead of resigning, Mrs. Eva
Blackman induced her associates to
revolt, and word comes that they will
hold on in defiance of the governor's
authority. There is about a month’s
salary to the commissioners in hold-
ing on. _
A Marquise Dies In Poverty.
New York, Jan. 4.—Marquise Mat-
silde De Greville, widow of General
De Greville, who as a member of
Maximilian’s staff, was killed in Mex-
ico in the Franco-Mexican war, died

ning. The expense of her funeral
was borne by Miss Julia Cooper, niece
of the late Peter Cooper, upon whom
she had been more or less dependent
for five years.
To purify San Francisco.
San Francisco, Jan. 4.—Plans for a
eruisade against vice and corruption,
private and public, in this city have
been developed by the formation of

cisco, on the same lines as the Chi-
cago Civic federation. War is declared
by the federation against dives, side
entrances to saloons, gambling and
municipal corruption.
The Wichita National Dearl.
Wichita, Kan., Jan. 4.—Owing to
the fact that some depositors refused
to give time on their deposits, ail hope
of the Wichita National bank’s re-
sumption lias been given up and the
comptroller lias been so informed and
is expected to appoint a permanent
receiver at once. The officers sold
the fixtures and furniture to the
Sedgwick county bank.
Coffey villa’s Best Block Burned.
Independence, Kan., Jan. 4.—The
Masonic block, the finest and newest
in Coffcyvillo, caught fire about 3
o’clock this morning and was totally
destroyed. As Coffeyville has no wa-
terworks or fire department, the loss
will be great.
Mexico’s Demand ou Guatemala.
City of Mexico, Jan. 4.—The Mexi-
can government has made a specific

DUSTY CONFESSES.
lie Tolls St. .Joseph Pollen Hour tin*
.Tall Delivery Was Worked.
St. Joseph, Mo., Jan. 4.—Joe Dusty,
under sentence of dcatli for criminal
assault, who escaped from the county
jail when the wholesale delivery oc-
curred, was captured at 2:30 yester-
day morning in a room above Charley
Phelps’ saloon. After he escaped
Dusty sought his sweetheart, and
the officers by her actions
were enabled to capture Dusty.
Dusty at first denied any
knowledge of how the delivery
was brought about, but latter made a
confessisn and told how the plans
were worked. Crowe, the Burlington
train robber, was the leading spirit,
and planned the job. Crowe had
been liberally supplied with money
from the outside, and when ho
escaped had $2,000 in cash and two
good revolvers. None of the others
who escaped have been recaptured,
but a heavy reward offered to-day
will probably assist in their capture.
A sensation of no small magnitude
will be sprung when the details of
who assisted the prisoners to escape
is made public.
Secretary .Alorton on Nebraska Distress.
Washington, Jan. 4.—Secretary
Morton and Chief Clerk MacCuaig, of
the agricultural department, both of
whom are Nebsaska men, do not be-
lieve that, the distress in their own
and adjoining states amounts to a
famine, although they recognize that
there is much suffering in that section
on account of short crops. Secretary
Morton is a pronounced opponent of
any exercise of paternalistic func-
tions by the government but he is
doing all that he can consistently
through the department to relieve
the wants existing in the West.

Much Destitution Said in Exist Among
tlio Settlors in tlio Cherokee Strip.
Boston, Jan. 4.—According to ad-
vices received by the Congregational
Home Missionary society the circle of
suffering in parts of the West Is widen-
ing. It includes tlie Cherokee strip
iu Oklahoma, which was opened for
settlement a year ago. The country
is emphatically new. The mission-
aries of the Congregational Home Mis-
sionary society, in forwarding special
correspondence relating to the situ-
ation, state that there is special need
of clothing. With the thermometer
beloiv zero there were thirteen men
at a religious service who wore no
overcoats and were not known to own
one. Some of the women were with-
out wraps of any kind.
A mother and daughter alternately
wore the same pair of shoes. Women
have been found barefoot at. home,
not possessing any kind of an old
shoe.
The home missionary society has al-
ready forwarded clothing for these
sufferers, and will gladly be the al-
moner of the public in so doing.
