He said his companions, Thomas Buck and Joseph Ermiuer were in a pi* c*» of woods about half a mile from the burn An investi gation was quickly made and the toxiies of the truants were found in the woods It is supposed that the boys, fearing arrest, were afraid to ask tor assistance at a f*rm house or in Herkimer, and, that hidiug in a woods, they became chilled, exhausted from the excitement and lack of food, they sat down to rest and slept into death.

THE CONEY ISLAND FIGHT. Dempsey Was Drnnk mid Ryan Won Without Effort. Coney Island, N. V., Jan. 18.— It has b *en some ytars since a prize light in tos \icmity has attracted such a wide t-pread interest as the fifteen-round con tent between Jack Dempsey, the once f .mous nonpareil and the middle weight champion of Ametica, and Tommy Ryan, of Chicago, who is now regarded as the cleverest welter weight iu the United States The minor events on the programme proved to be the most satisfactory, however. Ryan was in first elass condition and showed it plainly. It was equally aj parantthat the revei se was true of Dempsey. Dempsey was twelve minutes behind time m entering tne ring. In the first round Dempsey acted like a drunken man and many of the spec tators were so disgusted that they left the building. In round two Dempsey made such a miserable showing that the crowd yelled “He’s drunk. Take him off." “Shame, shame, take him off." Just before the call of time Ryan knocked Dempsey down with a left on the jaw and laughed at him hi round three Ryan had Dempsey at his mercy and simply played with him, hitting him when and where he pleased, wiiile the crowd yelled at the top of its voice “Stop it, stop it,” till Hurst stopped the bout owing to Dempsey’s unfit condition, and the battle was awarded to Ryan. The time of the round was only two minutes and five seconds. Ryan was so far superior to Dempsey that he could have knocked him out at any moment he chose to do so, even iu the first, round. Dempsey was very drunk when he came upon the stage and it was at tlie request of his own friends that the club had the fight stopped. It is said that Dempsey has been drinking hard ever since he came here from New Orleans, and was drinking hard fill day to day, and did not seem to : care anything about his battle with Ryan, or realize its importance. It cer tainly is Dempseys downfall, and many of bis admirers left the building with heavy hearts. TIIE HAW AIIAN INSURRECTION. The Rcbeli* Have Been Defeated and Dispersed and Their Leader Fled. San Francisco, Cal., Jan 18 Hono lulu. January 11.—(Correspondence of the United Press, per Steamer Alameda), Bob Wilcox and Sam Nowlein led half a thousand Kanakas and half white roy alists in open revolt against the Ha waiian republic Saturday, January 6, ou the shore six miles from this city The rebels w r ere foiled in their plan to sur prise the city. A fight took place at Di amond Head between the police andreb ils in which Charles L. Parker, a promi nent young man, fell mortally wounded. When a strong force was sent out of the city, the rebels retreated to the re cesses of the Volcano ridge. Several were killed by shot and shell. Many prisoners weie taken, including John Lane, a half white who shot Parker On the ninth the troops attacked Wil cox and sixty of the enemies in a valley and routed them with a loss of two kill ed. None of the troops were injured. The insurrection is completely crushed and the tebels have entirely dispersed. The majority of the men have come in from the front Ohe hundred are still guarding the en trances of the valleys and looking for Wilcox and his men. Nothing has been seen or heard of any rebel in the moun tain for twenty-four hours. Wilcox's forces, like Nowlein’s, has unquestiona bly dissolved. He has probably escaped through Kalihi towards Ewa, and is seek ing to get off the island. Military opera tions are probably at an end. The gard ing of t he city uuder martial law- may be continued some days longer The royalists were supplied with arms and ammunition from vessels. Grave alarm was caused at the same time by large bodies of Japanese laborers on the plantations rising in mutiny. USHERS WERE P ALL-BEARERS. Funeral of a Young Couple Who Met an Awful Death in Baltimore. Baltimore, Md., Jan. 18. —To-day at Emanuel Episcopal Church the funeral rites were performed over the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Whitridge, who met an awful death by falling from the tin men’s ladd* r w hile the Whitndge.re.-i --'Quig ley. of Quigley and Tuttle, bond brokers at No. 6 Wall Street, was arrested this morning by Detective Reilly, on the complaint of President William P. St. John, of the Mercantile National Bank. He is charged with having secured loans of #144.000 on #47,000 ou city of Cleve land, Ohio; #OB.OOO city of Springfield. O.; #35,000 city of Harrisburg, Pa : and #6 000 city of Zanesville, O , bonds, a total of #150,000 forged bonds. Quigley confessed to the forgery and exonerates his partner, who is a resident of New Haven. Quigley is a resident of Orange, N J., and claims that he lost the money in speculation. How Ihe Forgery Was Discovered. The forgery was discovered y< > f erday, when the Mercantile Bank presented at the American Exchange National Bank a coupon from a Cleveland city bond for payment, Quigley was arrested this morning and taken to the Mercantile Bank, where he confessed. President Sr. John had been at work | all night, and attachments were imme i diately levied upon Quigley’s office and his various brokers in Wall Street. His property in Orange is in the name of his wife and caunot be reached. Presi dent S . John said his banks’ apparent Pss will be greatly reduced by levie under attachments. The firm of Quigley and Tuttle, dealers iu county and municipal bonds and otb er investment securities, was organized |in 1890. Quigley havi lgbeeti connected i with a firm of older customers of ; the firm The firm was organized under I the advice of Tuttle's father, one of the most substantial and well posted citizens of New York, himself a long time friend of the bank. Evidence of confidence in the firm on the part of monied institu tions and others throughout New Eng land aud the business-like conduct left no room for suspicion of Quigley at any point. The bonds forged were of cities whose credit is high aud they were hy pothecated to the bank iu parcels from time to time under exchanges of collat eral among the different loans. Specul itiouCaused his Downfall. Quigley attributes his downfall to speculations of which he kept no record depending on memoranda. In applying to another broker for a valuation of securities, the Mercantile Bank was led to question tbe validity of the Cleveland bonds and to silence the doubt, sent the coupon to the American Exchange Na | tioual Bank, with the result noted. Quigley is about 35 years old ami was | originally a civil engineer. He then became connected with the bond house of S. A. Kean *fc Company, of Chicago, which established a branch house in New York, Quigley coming on as employe. He then entered into a co-partnership with Farson, Leach *t j Co., withdrawing therefrom to form the firm of Quigley, Harriman and Tuttle, Harriman withdrawing later. Win. P. Tuttle is the son of the late J. B. Tuttle, treasurer of the New Haven Savings Bank, who died two years ago. leaving a considerable sum to his son. Tuttle has been located in New Haven for the firm, which did h big business iu bonds with New England institutions. AA as a High Liver. It is believed that Quigley resorted to the expedient of borrowing money on forged tionds to conceal bis outside losses from his partner, who relied upon Quig ley for the management of the firm's business. It is not believed that he lost all of the money in speculation, as he states. He was a very high liver and a member of all of the swell Orange clubs. He was also interested m trotting horses and had a stock farm in New Jersey. He speculated in Wall Street through a number of brokers, but his largest spec ulations wore iu bonds. He is supposed to have lost heavily on account of the decline in the new five per cent. Govern ment bonds, in which he was largely in terested. The coupon on the Cleveland city per cents was presented for payment only to verify a suspicion that the bonds were forged. No attempt to collect the coupons had ever been made, as Quigley apparently only used the bonds for by poihecatiou with the bank, and substi tuted other bonds when the alleged cou pons became due and tore off the cou pons before returning the bonds for fur ther re hypothecation. It is not known whether Quigley sold any of these forged bonds or used them in New Eng land for purposes of borrowing money. His principal account was with the Mer cantile National Bank, although he se cured loans from other sources upouc il lateral, as is customary with boud brokers doiug a large business. Bowed His Head and Said “Guilty.” There were no assets at his office, but an attempt will be made to recover as far as possible from his partner, who is supposed to have a large property iu New Haven. The bank does not know yet how far Tuttle can be made responsi ble for the operations of Quigley, but are investigating the question. At the same time that Quigley was brought to the general sessions building, Mr Battle went before the grand jury with lawyer Brownell and the case was presented. An indictment was found for forgery in the first degree. Quigley was then arraigned before Recorder Goff. He was very much broken up. When asked to plead, he stood with bowed head and murmured “guilty.” He was at once taken back to the tombs. CHAPMAN SURRENDERS.

Y., Jan. 18. —Mayor Schieren has called for the services of 600 of the militia to aid the police to morrow in proto- iug the street railways iu their endeavors to resume business. The mayor and chief of police have been at odds with the rail road companies upon the proper method for the latter to pursue. The railroad men wish to start tbe cars upon all the tied-up roads at once. The Mayor and Chief of Police held to the opinion that the better way would tie to concen trate effort upon the roads singly, and put them in operation one by one. The railroad zneu to day showed a dis position to go over the city authori ties’ heads and call upon the sheriff of Kings county, who could bring the mili tia into service without the intervention of the mayor. The day has been an exceedingly tur bulent ami riotous one upon all the roads where any attempt was made to do business, excepting the two where a compromise was reached yesterday. The condition of affairs to-night was such that the Mayor seems to have waived his opiuions and acted according to the desires of the railroad companies. Vila a, Russia, Jan. 18. —Au unex pected investigation was recently made of the affairs of the Credit Bank iu this city, as the result of which defalcations aggregating 300,000 roubles were dis covered.

ANOTHER FINANCIAL BILL. Mr. Feller Decides that it to Time lor Him to Launch His Financial Scheme I p >n the Turbid Sen of Legislation— The Nicaragua Canal Bill Taken Fj» and an Ineffectual Effort Made to Fix a Time lor a Final Vote-Army Appropriation Bill Passed. Washington, Jan. is. The Senate spent two hours to day in secret session, considering the question of ratifying the pending treaty with Japan. No final ac tion was taken and the matter was post poned until next Friday. Consideration developed the fact that the opposition was greater than was thought to have existed. The opposition which had greatest weight came from Mr. Frye. He called attention to the provision in the treaty that ties this gov ernment up for a period of eleven years iu the matter of the ‘ favored nation clause.” Right to Abrogate il. It was shown by Mr. Frye that in every treaty the United States has nego tinted with other powers, containing this clause, the right is reserved to abrogate that treaty after oue year's notice < >ur treaties with England, Germany, Russia, France, in short, all the great powers, contain this stipulation, and it was con tended that if a treaty was ratified with Japan containing such a clause for ten years and then able to be abrogated only after the usual notice of one year, that all our treaties would have to be treated in like manner. This, it was shown, would work to the great harm of the United States in case this government should ever see fit to pass a law making discriminating duties against merchandise imported in vessels other than American bottoms and abso lutely prevent us from so doing except after the expiration of a period of eleven years. This view of the matter was taken by many Democratic Senators, aud it was finally agreed that the treaty should be returned to the committee on foreign re lations for further consideration and possible amendment. It will be made the special order for the consideration of the Senate aga ; u next Friday afternoon. While in executive session the Army Appropriation bill was passed, Mr. Mitchell, (Rep ) of Oregon, having car ried his point for the retention of the military posts at Vancouver and Walla Walla, so contemptuously described yes terday by Mr. B’ackburu, of Kentucky, as “military barnacles.” A joint resolution was passed to re vive, (for the benefit of Major General Schofield) the grade of Lieutenant Gen eral of the army Another Financial Bill. Another financial bill was launched on the turpid stream of legislation by Mr Peffer, the title of it being “To replenish the Treasury and provide an abundant and safe currency.” It was referred, as all other projects of like character, to the Finance Committee. The Nicaragua Canal bill was taken up and Mr. Cafferty continued his speech against the constitutionality of the mens , ure, in which speech he had been inter rupted last week. An ineffectual effort was made to have a time fixed (next week) for taking a final vote on the bill. The Senate 5:10 adjourned until to morrow. The Dav mi the House. Washington, Jan. 18.—No business of a general character was accomplish -d in the House to-day. By unanimous consent the District of Columbia bad been given the right of way. Before 2 o'clock the District committee surren dered the floor, and the rest of the dav was spent iu further consideration of the Indian appropriation bill in committee of the whole. Without finishing the bill, the committee rose at 4:20 o'clock, and the House took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be for the consideration of private pension bills. GOLD RESERVESTILL GOING. But There is as Y’et No Serious Talk ol Another Issue of Bonds. Washington, D. C., Jin. 18. —The Treasury gold reserve was reduced by to-day’s withdrawals to #70,712,126 The second bond issue raised the gold reserve to #lll,OOO 000 Since Novem her 22, when the gold from the second i.-stie began to be received, the Treasury has lost more than #40,000.000 in gold received from that issue, which netted, with premium, about #58.000,000. No serious talk of a third bond issue is heard now in official circles, and none is be lieved to be imminent. The general con dition of the Treasury now is better than at the date of either of the other issues, as is shown by these figures: First call for bonds, January 17,1894, uet gold #65,000,000; net treasury bal anee #*3,000,000. Second call for bonds, November 13, 1894, net gold #59,000,- 000; net treasury balance #107,000,000. The treasury condition, with the in- j terest payments, which are still carried as an asset, taken out, as they will beou February Ist, stands to day: Net gold #70,072,126; uet treasury balance #142,- 042,000. In all three cases as given the treasury net balance includes the gold reserve. The lowest point ever touched by the gold reserve w*s on August 7, 1894, when it stood at #52,189,500, NUMBER ’53. FOR OUR NAVA. Appropriation Bill Provide* l«»i In crease ol About $5,000,000. " ashington, Jau. I*. The naval »p propriation bill prepared by Mr Tal eott, chairman ot the sub committee on naval affairs, has been approved by th*‘ committee and will be reported to the House. The bill, which accords sub stantially with the views presented in the annual report of the Secretary ofthe Navy, provides for an appropriation of #11,881,000, an increase of about #5. 000,000 over that of the current year. Among other things it authorizes the construction by contract of three coast line battle ships of a most formidable equipment in all details and at a cost not exceeding #4,000.000 each and of twelve torpedo boats of from 100 to 300 tons each at a cost n >t to exceed an average of #170.000. Provision is made in the bill for the construction of thtse torjiedo boats under which one is to l>e built at the Brooklyn navy yard, one at Norfolk and one at Mare island. The bill further provides that one of the battle ships and three of the t wpedo boats are to be built on the Pacific const or in adjacent waters, providing this can be done at a fair cost; otherwise they may be built elsewhere. In the construe tion of these vessels the provision of tin act of August 3, 1888, as to materials used, their engines, toilers and machine ry, the contracts under which they are built, except as to premiums, shall boob served and followed. Premiums for speed above contract re quirements, which have been a feature of the naval bills for the past few years, will be no longer allowed, as testimony given to fore the committee by naval architects is to the effect that ships can now to constructed so as to reach the highest speed without additional induce rnents to contractors. Under the head of “Public W orks” the following allowances are made: Norfolk Harbor, #75 000; Norfolk Navy Yard, extension quay wall, #20,000; repairs to i granite dock, #15,000. Naval Station, Port Royal, 8. (J., roadways, #5,572; grading and drainage, #6,000. Con struction aud repair shops, #7,000. Storage cisterns, #3,700. For com mencing dry dock, Algiers, to., #IOO,OOO. Key West, Fla., naval sta tion, purchase of ground for coal shed, #20,000: and coaling pier, #IO,OOO. The enlistment of 1,000 additional men into the navy is authorized, which is only one half of that estimated as necessary by Secretary Herbert in his estimate. MURDER AND SUICIDE. > A Husband Kills llis H ile amt Hci Parents ami Then Shoots lliiusell. Fairmont, Minn., Jan. 18—About So’clock last night Sam Hoteling, a ; farmer living five miles south of here, went to the house of T. B Whitney, his father-in-law, aud shot and killed both of the od people and his wife, who had left him and gone to live with her pa rents. A daughter of Whitney escaped from the house and gave the alarm. After com j mitting the murder, Hoteling tied to i his own house near by and barricading doors aud windows, prepared for a siege. He kept the sheriff’s posse at bay until this morning, when a number of militia rifles wete taken from this place and the house riddled with bullets. Hoteling was found dead, having shot himself in the head, the ball entering the left eye and coming out at the back of his head He was armed with a Win Chester rifle and a large revolver. CREATES NO UNEASINESS. Gold Withdrawals for Export are not Troubling the Treasury Officials. Washington, I). 0., Jan. 18.—Gold withdrawals for exports do not create any uneasiness among Treasury officials and up to this time there is no talk in authoritative circles regard iug au issued’ bonds. The general Treasury condition is good, kept so by the heavy receipts w-hich are constantly increasing. Furth er increase is looked for next month and the month after. Assistant, Secretary Curtis said to day that from the present outlook the receipts for F« bruary will tqual expenditures. For this month, were it not for the heavy interest paunents, the receipts would equal expenses. January is always the mouth of heaviest expenditures of any of the twelve, aud this month in addition to the heavy interest payments, more than #2,000,* 00 m Central Uacific Kail - road bonds have been paid. With the favorable outlook for the im mediate future, it is probable that the gold reserve may to allowed to fall be low #50,000,000 before a third issue of bonds for its recoupment will to ordered. Tennessee’s Gubernatorial Squabble. Nashville, Tenu., Jan. 18. -The gu bernatorial contest bill was introduced in the Senate to-day, but its provisions were not acceptable to a majority of the Democrats.
