A BUSE TO QET RID OP EVA. Suspicious Circumstances Attending- the Slysterious Disappearance and neportedj Death or Robert Ray Hamilton Advantages That Miht Accrue from An Invented Story of Death.1 , -U New York. Jan. 26.- Interest in the Robert Ray Hamilton sensation has been revived by the editorial expression in The Sun of a shrewd suspicion that has recentiyj been , quietly discussed in circles where the unfortunate scion of the house of Hamilton was best known. The Sun doubts the truth of the report of Mr. Hamilton's death and produces plausible arguments 1 to sustain its sus picion. Arjer detailing the story of Mr. Hamilton's embarrassing entanglement with an adventuress and the circum stances of the alleged discovery of his df.ai body in Idaho last September, the sagacious Sun sfcms np as follows: it is certainly most remarkable that Mr. Hamilton did not receive prompt and full information of his son's death, and that a friend of the family should have waited two weeks to notify him and then sent no particulars except by letter. It was strange that Mr. : Speir happened to be in the vicinity at the time, and that just at this time Mr. Green, another friend, made a detour to visit Hamilton's ranch in the wilder ness. I ; : The Confidential Advisor. It is also quite significant that Mr. E. Tf. Vftllmpr rf f Vila nitxr tutVi n Vi n rl rTi a toto of Mr. Hamilton's confidential business matters, I disappeared and went west, according to the newspapers of last fall, just before the discovery of the body. It is peculiar, to say the least. that instead of hastening - home to tell the shocking f story to the bereaved family, both Mr. Speir and Mr. Moore decided to remain some time at the ranch, and Mr. Moore, in writing to the brother of ;Mr. Hamilton, said they stayed because Mr. j Sargent seems to want us to."; j 1 It is also noticeable that Mr. Hamil ton, who had only been in possession of his ranch for; six weeks, should have gone out alone in the wilds of the west to hunt and shoot, at a, time, too, when he was expecting visitors who had noti fied him of their coming and who wished to participate in the sport. Moreover, according to the dispatches, Mi. Green expressed surprise, when he returned ;to Helena after his shooting' expedition in the Yellowstone park, that the public had heard nothing of Mr. Hamilton's fate, though, if Mr. Green's first statement was accurately reported, the dispatches had been forwarded more than ten days previously. Buried in the Wilderness. . Neither Mr . Hamilton's father nor his brother hastened to the west to bring the body j home, leaving it to be buried at the ranch!. ; His death had annulled the marriage I from which he had been trying to escape,, and it only remained to determine the settlement of his prop erty, and to put the claimant for a dower interest in his estate to (the trouble of contesting the case for her self. I As soon as Mr. Hamilton's deatfh was announced, Mr. Vollmer returned from the west and produced the will, which was immediately presented for probate. I As it made no provision for the wo man! claiming to .be his' widow, she began to contest on j her r release from prison. Without the slightest difficulty the lawyers J retained m behalf of the estate drew out from the unfortunate creature the evidence of her shame, wrung from her the admission that she had sustained martial relations with a drunken .vagabond before she met Mr. Hamilton, and that therefore her mar riage with the latter was illegal, and finally obtained her confession that the child she had : presented as Hamilton's was neither bis nor hers. : Eva's Claim Disposed Ot. Her case was thrown out of court at once, and the surrogate decided, finally. conclusively and absolutely ,that she had no claim on Mr. Hamilton's name or fortune. Then came a suggestive pro ceeding. Mr. Hamilton's will was again presented for probate, and the astonishing statement was made by the surrogate that the, evidence of death was insufficient. Neither; of the two men who said? they had seen the dead body and recognized it, was present. One of them, Mr. Hamilton's partner in the ranch, was said to be , snowed up in Idaho; and the other, Mr. Green, was in Europe. ; A commission was ordered to take the testimony of these two per sons, and the end is not yet. : ) If Mr. Hamilton is not dead, he can now with safety return to his home. The woman who crossed his path has no longer a claim upon him. The child that he felt himself called upon to sup port, and to whom he left as his adopted daughter an annuity of 1,200 a year, is confessedly of another's blood. His estate is free from entanglement3,as it was left mostly to his brother, who can pass it back and let Mr. Hamilton start in life anew. --S i 'j - ;r ! - ' : - A, Skillful Expedient. -There are those who knew Robert Ray Hamilton well who have never be lieved for a single moment the story of his death. , Taciturn, secretive, self assertive, skillful in expedients as they knew him to be, they believe he fore saw that his only way of escape from a most distressing situation was by. hiding behind the' shelter of an invented death. Should he return he will now; find him self under no compulsion to appear in court, to face a judge or a jury, to hear and perhaps teU the story of his shame or to meet his tormentor face to face. The tangle has all been skillfully un raveled, the judgment gtron, and. if living, the way of life for Robert Ray Hamilton is once more straightened out before, him. ..... DANCING FOR THE MESSIAH. Indians in Minnesota Give Afternoon and Evening Performances. St. HiLAra, Minn., Jan. 2d. The 1,200 Indiana on the Red Lake reserva tion, in the vicinity of Three River Falls, have been engaged in ghost dances for the past ten days and have ordered all settlers to leave the country under penalty of death. Farmers have been swarming in here since last Monday, and now the excitement is at its highest pitch. The postoffice here ia the" head quarters of I the settlers, and they have filled the general store, where the local business for Uncle Sam is transacted. ; Sam Olsen tells a little more intelli-v gent story than the others. He is the only man who has recently been among the redskins, and he says that on Thurs day he was over in one of their camps, just across Three Rivers, located about four miles ? above the village of Three River Falls and about eight miles from this place. While he was there the In dians were apparently peaceable, but were considerably excited over the re religious craze, which has been imparted from the Turtle Mountain campf the Sioux. .;;; v .i '. The Indians have erected a large bark wigwam a; few miles from the camp visited by Olsen, and here the ghost dances are now going on day and night. The dance is started at about 11 o'clock each night and kept up until morning, and then commenced along toward noon, and continued until late in the afternoon. ' ' t Troops Called Out. St. Paul,' Minn., Jan. 126.- Governor Merriam has received a dispatch from the common council and postmaster at Three River Falls asking for 100 rifles and ammunition, and a dispatch has just co-mS from St. Hilaire lhich says: "Indians' having ghost Agrees night and day. Give us protection at once." Governor Merriam sent Adj. Gen. Mul len to Red Lake Falls, and orders were issued to Capt. F. W. Burnham, com mandant of Company F, First regiment, located at Fergus" Falls, and to Capt. A. J. Vaughness, located in Ada, to hold themselves in readiness for the re ceipt of orders to go to the Red Lake Indian reservation. : Donoghue Welcomed Home. : NEWBURd. N. Y., Jan. 26. Joseph F. Donoghue. the champion skater of the world, arrived home Saturday night, at 7 o'clock, and was received with a great ovation. A committee from the Whit ley Athletic club met the modest young fellow at Cornwall and escorted him to the Newburg station, where 5,000 peo ple hadgathered to welcome him. Joe then rode in a carriage to his home where he was warmly greeted Dy mem bers of his family. Headed by tne band and the Whitley Athletic club in a body the sturdy young American champion was then conducted to the rooms of that organization, where a reception was given him, President Harrison Condemned. Raleigh,' N. C. Jan. 26. The caucus of the Republican members of the legis lature adopted resolutions condemning President Harrison's appointment of J. F. Payne, of this state, as Indian agent. The resolutions Were sent to Washing ton, and state that Payne is the inoat obnoxious man in the state to Repub licans, because while in the legislature he twice attempted to secure the enact ment by this state of tne boutn Caro lina election law. Commissioner Wrigley Resigns. !' Winnipeg, Man., Jan. 26. Joseph Wrigley, commissioner of the Hudson Bay company, has resigned his position on account of continued ill health. Mr. Wrigley has had since 1884 general supervision of all the Hudson Bay com merce, covering the vast territory in which it operates.- In 1889. upon the death of Mr. 13 ry ages, the .Land .Busi ness company came under his jurisdic tion. ; :. -. -;-- . . !

Details of the Becent Massacro at Szechuen, China, DHTB XSE FAHATT0ISH LET L003I1 Converts to Christianity Maltreated, Some of Uie Victims Burned to Death and Others Brutally Slain. American Lady Missionaries At tacked. 5 San Fbancisoo, Jan. 27. There is a recurrence of the old.' fanatical hatred r of Christians in China, more particu larly in 1 Szechuen, Where a massacre of Christians occurred, of which we have only just got particulars, though the scene is only a short distance from Chungking,, which is now a treaty port. The converts of the Franciscans and Lazarists are very numerous in Szech uen, and we frequently hear of trouble between-them and the followers of the popular religions Confucianism, Bud dhism and Taouism but it is seldom nowadays that the fanaticism of the persecutors proceeds as far as killing its unfortunate objects, as was th e case with the small Christian community of Lbongti-hsn, in the Ta Chu prefecture. Iu the middle of the night an attack was made by several thousand of the worst dregs ox the populace, infuriated by fanaticism and egged on by the hopes of a rich booty. They raided the houses oi nity or sixty unnsuan iamiues, sev the buildings on fire, and carried off everything portable. ; v " Hacking and Mutilating Bodies. 'The mission premises were sur rounded and burned, amidst the howls of infuriated villains, who threw a number of Christians into the burning buildings, where they perished in the most horrible agony, which proceed ings were watched with devilish pleas ure by their erstwhile neighbors. i ine muraerers seized upwaras oi twenty more victims in the neighbor hood and butchered them in cold blood, and with all the revolting refinements of cruelty which the placid looking Chi nese understand so well. Most of the bodies of the murdered people were hacked or cut to pieces and thrown into the river. ' During all this time the officials were invisible, and the impression in well in formed quarters is that they kept out of the way on purpose. -The magistrate of Ta Chu, kept himself locked up in his yamen, though he knew what was go ing on outside, for the European priest in charge of the mission fled to the magistrate's residence for safety. Lady Missionaries Attacked, j Nicw Yortc- Jan. 27.- The mail from Cthina brings information respecting an attacK on two American missionary ladies. Miss Phillips, M. D., who is in cbarge of a missionary hospital at Soochow, was proceeding to that city in a native boat from Shanghai, with Miss Smithey, a lady who had just ar rived in China. h . v LWhen near the walled city of Quen san they anchored for the night, and had just retired to rest when an attack was made on their boat by a number of pirates, who overpowered the boatmen and demanded money. They ransacked the boat completely, breaking open the ladies' trunks and seizing everything of value they contained. f ; ; V: Chilean Rebels Bombard a Town. ' Buenos Ayres, Jan; 27.

Free Water, Ore., Jan. 27. The ed itor of The Free Water Herald has re ceived the following notice: "Mliton, Ore., Jan. 25, 1889. To Editor Herald: Please say nothing in your next issue about the proceedings of regulators on Wednesday evening. By so doing yon will avoid trouble." This notice is sup. posed to be the result of an editorial in The Herald, in which the, editor ex presses the opinion that the Chinamen who were dragged out of Milton with a rope around their necks were better than those who held the ropes. !

The full f zrr of Saturday night's violent wind ar.'l rain storm was poured forth upon Phil adelphia, All night lonjr tba tempest K raged and toward morning tho rain turned to snow. This played havoc with the telegraph lines and everv wirtj running Into town was prostrated. In consequence the city was yesterday completely cut off from all telegraph communication. Not a single wire in any direction escaped! the general wreck. The snow soon melted under the sun's rays and there was no permanent im pediment to street trade, lint the rail roads labored under great didculttes. In many cases poles and wires were prostrated across the tracks, and tho tew trains ran slowly and cautiously. Advices received by rail indicate that the storm prevailed with great severity throughout eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York and as far south as Baltimore. : - , The Storm at Wilmington. Wilmington, Del., Jan. .Satur day night's storm of rain, wind, snow and sleet has almost cut this city ofJ from telegraphic communication with the world. There are no Western Union wires working to any point oat of the city and messages are sent to Philadelphia by messenger. Poles are down everywhere. , The postal wires are working by way of Baltimore. The Baltimore and Ohio and tho Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti more railroads are running their trains by feeling their way, and there are ISO poles down on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio between bmgerly, Md., and Philadelphia. The telephone system has sustained the worst damage since it was estab lished, and it will be ten days before it -is in running order again. The Situation in New York. New York, Jan. 27. New Y ork and the region thereabout have had a novel experience. Never in the history of the city not even during the great blizzard of 1888-r-has anything like such a gene ral prostration of telegraph and other wires occurred. All throughout tho city and its neighborhood telegraph poles were thrown prostrate by tho. thousand. Not a single telegraph wire could be operated from the Western Union headquarters in this city. New York was practically isolated from tho rest of the country, although communi cation by cable underneath the Atlan tic could be carried on with as great facility as ever. Owing to the inter ruption of the telegraph service, it is impossible to tell how far this same con dition of, things extends in any direc tion from this city, but advices by rail way indicate that the Central railroad is in trouble with its wires as far north as Albany. . FORCE AND CLOSURE. Both Bills Laid Aside for tho Present. Washington, Jan. 27. Mr. Wolcott moved to take up the apportionment bill in the senate; laying aside the clo sure resolution. Mr. Dolph moved to? lay this " motion on the table. Mr. Dolph's motion was- lost by a vote of 31 to 85. By a vote of 35 to 34 the senate adopted Mr. Walcott's motion to takt up the apportionment bill. The closure rule and the force bill are therefore laid aside. By a sudden move on the part of tho opponents of the force bill the closure resolution was laid aside by the senate.
