A Scandal in Official Circles at Berlin, Lord Salisbury's Answer to the Porta Jewish Banker Block the New Russian Loan. London, Oct. 14. A dispatch to the IMihj Teleijmph from St. Petersburg says: "The revolutionary society ot Kieif is endeavor-ing to take advantage of the prevailing famine to excite a revolt headed by exiles from Switzerland and Fr.mce. The author-ities have broken up thair secret literary clubs, and prohibited all their meetings." The Chrouicle has a dispatch from Peris saying that the Hebrew bankers there are combining to render nugatory all efforts to float the Russian loan. St. Petersburg, Oct. 14.

Scurvy and typhus is raging in wake of the famine. The Nocnxti says: "Famine prevails in thirteen different governments of the coun-try and 14,000,000 persons are in urgent need of succor.

The Methodist Congress Protests Against Opening the Fair on Sundays. Washington, Oct. 14. Rev. G. D. Murray of the Methodist Episcopal church of Balti-more presided over the ecumenical council today. After the usual devotional exercises, the committee on Sunday closing of the Chicago Columbian exposition made a re-port which was prefaced by the statement that the local directors of the fair were un-der the control of the large stockholders. These stockholders are railroads, street car companies and breweries. All these cor-porations are clamoring to have the exposi-tion open on Sunday. The only hope for success lay in the United States commis-sioners, who are, in some sense, responsible to the people. The reasons given for the closing of the fair are tuat the opening on Sundays would violate the Sabbath keeping traditions of the American people and also the ia'vs of the United States and Illinois; that thousands of employes in the service of the exposition would be deprived of their right to rest one day in seven and that it would furnish an excuse for employers for refusing to grant a holiday for the purpose of visiting the expo-sition which would otherwise be given. The committee asserts that that stock-holders will not lose money by closing Sun-day and say they believe many exhibitors from Great Britain and other christian lands will refuse to expose their exhibits on Sun-day, which would be unsatisfactory to visit-ors. After some debate, the report was adopt-ed unanimously. THE PRISON CONGRESS. Officer Elected The Next Place of Meet-I-n j Papers Bead. Pittsburg, Oct. 14. When the National Prison congress opened yesterday Chairman Charles E. Felton of Chicago presented the report of the standing committee on police. The report, which was quite lengthy, in substance says: "The leading superinten-dents of police almost all unite in placing the chief detriments to police management to polities, vieiousness and gambling." At the conclusion of the report it was an-nounced that the following officers were elected by the Wardens' association: Presi-dent. Joseph Nicholson; with ts J. II. Patterson of New Jersey, James Mas-si- e of Ontario, R. S. Dawson of Alabama, E. S. Wright of Riverside Penitentiary; secre-tary, R. W. McClaughrey of Chieago; treas-urer, Tohn C. WIj'. ton of Massachusetts. It was also announced that the board of direc-tors had selected Baltimore as the next place of meeting in '92, and Chieago for '93. Captain "Pope ot the United States army then read an interesting paper on "Crime and Criminals in the American Army." A resolution that the World's fair mana-gers be requested to ask the French gov-ernment to have an exhibit of the workings of the Bertellon system of measurement as a means of identification for prisoners at the fair was adopted. The system was re-ferred to the association of wardens, and is recommended for all prisoners. This evening Mrs. Ellon C. Johnston, superintendent of the reformatory prison for women at Sherborn. Mass., read a paper on "Discipline in Female Prisons," outlining in detail some of her methods, such as the use of flowers, companionship of domestic animals, the sight of children in a nursery, good mu:-.i-c in chapel, etc. FLASHES FKOil THE WIEES.

EEY0LT IX URUGUAY, j TWENTY SICILIANS HIRED TO AS- - SASSINATE PRESIDENT OBES. j i The Revolutionists Expected to be Joined by the Army but Were Disappointed The Remnants of the Land Have fled to the Country. New York, Oct. 14. The Herald has a ; long special from Montevideo about the rev-olution nipped iu the bud a few days ago. The revolutionists belonged to a club organ-ized tor that express purpose. They called themselves the "junta" after the fashion of the congressionalists in Chile. It was confidently expected by them that a large number of soldiers would rally to their ranks. Accordingly when they left their quarters they proceeded at once to the barracks. There to their surprise they were taked prisoners. Dr. Pantaleon Perez, their chief, made a bold attempt to escape but was shot down. Two hundred armed revolutionists who had waited outside retired to the national club aud a short time later opened fire upon a battalion of soldiers that happened to pass, wounding three officers. The. troops re-turned the fire with deadly effect. Fifty-thre- e prominent men of the junta were instantly killed. How many were wounded the correspondent could not learn, but it is understood to be correspondingly large. A panic seized the revolutionists when they saw so many of their comrades lviug dead or wounded about them, and they tied precipitately. Colonel Latorre is bitterly denounced by the revolutionists. They charge him with the disastrous result of the outbreak, and accuse him of fooling their leader by pledging the support of the mili-tary party. There seems not the slightest doubt that the intention of the junta was to assassinate President Obcs. It had employed twenty Sicilians to commit the crime. These would-b- e assassins were uuder the command of au Italian desperado named Batto. For-tunately the chief of police discovered the plot and measures were taken to frustrate it. The four living leaders of the junta have been arrested. The troops are on the alert, and the remnants of the revolutionary bands have fled to the country, where they have organized guerrilla bands. The police and troops' are after these outlaws, and they will be shown no mercy when caught. At pres-sen- t, says the correspondent, the revolu-tionary movement is a failure. - THE STORM KING, Waves Nearly Thirty Feet High Washing Houses and Boats Out to Sea at Ecckaway.

Speculation as to What It Will Decide rdm the "Iloreemaa" In Court Again Sexual Offenses to be Taken Up To-- morrow The Court Record. , ( Judge Zane indicated upon the opening of f. court this morning that he had made up his mind and was prepared to deliver his 7 opiniod in the case of Johnson vs. the City Q of Salt Lake, arguments iu which were 4 closed last evening, but that, inasmuch a W United States Attorney Varian was absent, he would withhold it until his retnrn. As f. Mr. Varian has been relieved at Provo by vT Assistant United States Attorney John M. Q Zane, he will paabably be permitted to p- - Ja pear tomorrow morning, at which time tho decision will be handed down. There is con- - J siderable speculation around the assessor's oflicu today as to what the ruling will be, " aud also an air of confidence that tho com. plainant has triumphed. . The Catch at Beaver. Judge Anderson having cleared up the) docket at Beaver, the term was adjourned, aud, accompanied by Deputy United States Marshal A. II. Parsons, ho returned to tho city this morning. As trophies of tho chase, Deputy Parsons brought with, him three convicts, who were this afternoon registered at the penitentiary as Thomas Holly, Billy Stocks and Duck-worth Grimshaw. Holly is the fellow wtu undertook to kill a messenger on the Union Pacific while he was beating his way be-tween stations. He was sent up for ono year. Stocks was arrested for cattie stealing and on conviction sentenced to one year. Grimshaw was indicted on a charge of adultery to which he pleaded guilty and when asked if he had aught to say why he should not be punished stated that he had been married to Mrs. Ellen Muir Smith, the correspondent, in the temple at St. George in IS?". He was sentenced to one year. Grimshaw is 45 years of age and has is tho father of thirteen children. In addition to this there were five other cases of this character. Isaac Riddle, on a charge of unlawful cohabitation, pleaded guilty and was lined $100; James Jar vis for unlawful cohabitation, was lined $50, while in the three remaining cases sentence was suspended until the December term. Alleged Horse Stealing-Wor-k on the criminal calendar began with the trial of W. R. Paden the juvenile horse thief who procured a saddle from Mark McKimman's, traded it for another near Park City, desposed of the second and then turned up at Ogden w ith another w hich was subsequently redeemed as stolen prop-erty. Poden had outlined his defense before Commissioner Greenman and set up that he had been governed altogether by philan-thropic motives in that he determined to re-turn a better steed to Mark than he hired from him. His defense was a little too fishy for Captain Greenman and the jury may de-tect the presence of the cod before the evi-dence has been concluded. Paden will go glimmering over the road. The case was submitted at 3 o'clock thia afternoon and the jury after deliberating for half an hour returned a verdict of t lAllnaol r. t Vi r.r i guilty. (hi or vairuil all fnrthu. rights and Paden stood erect for sentence. In answer to the court he said he was IS years of age, an orphan and knew now that he had beeu guilty of an indiscretion. Judge Zane therefore fixed the punishment at ona yejir in the penitentiary. ( For Illegal Fees. James T. Monk, recorder of deeds anti oilier documents at Cottonwood, appcaxct before Judge Zane this morning to answer an indictment charging him with the col-lection of illegal fees over in his district. Arthur Brown, esq., who appeared for the accused stated that the question depended altogether on the validity of a local law which had been recognized over there. In other words Mr. Monk, said counsel, was compelled to furnish his own office, his own, lights, his own fuel, stationery, etc., while his confreres derived these from the county. To do this the fee for recording certificate of location, etc.. had been advanced to $:i, and he, the attorney, was ready to Gubmis the case on that statement. Mr. Stephens stated that the law limited, the compensation to 50 cents for the first folio and 25 cents for all following ones. That the case in hand was one in which tho law only authorized a demand of 75 cents. The matter went over, Mr. Brown retiring to draft a stipulation. ' Under United States Laws. The call on the criminal calendar for to j morrow reaches the indictments brought in under United States laws aud includes tho . following: The United States vs James Hock, unlaw-ful cohabitation. The United Sjates vs John Beck, unlawful cohabitation. The I'nited States vs David James, unlaw, j ful cohabitation. The I'nited States vs John Beck, adultery. The United States vs William S. Gibley, adultery. Under the head of sexual offenses the case of the United States vs. Robert Bowman, charged with unlaw ful cohabitation, was called this morning, but the defendant failing to report, his bond, iu the sum of $500, with Charles A. Child and, John Bowman as sureties, was declared forfeited. The in Bowman's case are "Mrs. Robert Bow mail'' and Mis Amelia Johnson. The Receiver's Accounts.

CASS HITE IN COURT. lie Goes Before Judge Blackburn and Pleads Not Guilty. Cass Hite who was drawn into a duel at Green River on the afternoon of September 9th last, in which Adolph Frank Kohler bit the du6t, was brought up from Provo by "Doc" Norrell last evening and this morn-ing taken back where he entered a plea of not guilty to an indictment charging him with murder in the first degree. The particulars of the tragedy are vividly recalled. There had been a long standing feud between the principals and meeting on that fatal autumn afternoon Kohler, whom it is said had been gunning for Hite, began to empty the contents of his Winchester. Hite reciprocated and Kohler was despatched over the range. A coroner's jury was promptly convened, the tragedy was inquired into and a verdict that the killing was justifiable was rendered. The friends of the dead man were thirsting for vengeance however, and going before "the grand jury at Provo the complaint was pressed to an indictment charging Hite with murder. He says the action was expected and feels that he will experience no difficulty in convincing a jury and judge that the act was committed in self protection. . . THE CRUISE OF THE CORWIN. Two Seal Poachers Seized in Behring Sea and Condemned. Washington-- , Oct. 14. A dispatch re-ceived at the treasury department brings news of the arrival of the revenue cutter Corwin at Port Townsend after a six-mont-cruise in the Behring sea for the protection of the sealing industry.

One of the sealers cap- tured has been sent to Port Townsend in charge of a prize crew. . a . REPORT OF THE MINORITY. In the Investigation Into the Conduct of Pennsylvania Officials. IIabrisburg, Pa., Oct. 14. Messrs. Fow and Skinner, two of the three minority members of the legislative investigating committee who have been engaged in exam-ining in the affairs of the auditor general and state treasurer's office today filed their protest against the preliminary report of the majority of the committee. They dissent from the report of the major-ity for the reason that the committee has not in their judgment concluded its labors, and more especially because of the abrupt man-ner in which the proceedings were discon-tinued. They say that a more searching and Exhaustive examination should be made without limit as to individuals or time and that the conclusions regarding the official conduct of State Treasurer Boycr and Auditor-G-eneral Cammant is not warranted by the resolutions under which the committee is acting. It is contended by the minority that the methods of conducting the business of the two officers under investigation should be reformed and in the suggestions majority on this subject they coincide. In conclusion the minority declare the auditor general's conduct of the system of mercantile ap-praisements has been grossly inefficient. A LIFE OF PARNELL. He Helped to Break Isaac Butt's Heart Jo Manifesto From SIcCarthy. Dcblin, Oct. 14. Justin McCarthy, in an interview, said that he didn't intend to issue a counter manifesto to the one issued by the Paruellites. He trusted the na-tion's verdict and good sense. Irishmen would estimate the true significance of the division still existing in the Irish parlia-mentar- y party. In conclusion, he said that he and all his colleagues only now cared to remember Parnell's noble endeavor to pro-mote Ireland's interests. London--, Oct. 14. T. P. O'Connor's "Life of Parnell" has appeared a book of 223 panes. All previous biographies accord to Avondale the honor of Parnell's place of birth. O'Connor says he heard Parnell state that this was incorrect and that he was born at Brighton. Among tho earliest in-fluences were the stories he heard from ser-vants and from his mother, thoroughly tiSt tile to the existing relations of England and Ireland. These made Parnell the man he became. O'Connor trace3 Parnell's life through, his early parliamentiary career, and says that in the present moment, when the passionate friends of Parnell denounce his opponents as murderers, it is. well to rev call the fact that Parnell undoubted'iye'(f5ea to break poor Isaac Butte' heart and hasten his end. The hand that struck him down after the divorce disclosures was his ow n. Strangely enough, the idea that he would one day" ruin himself was familiar to his colleag-ue- for many years, owing to his her-mit life, and instances of aberration of mind. O'Connor never regarded Parnell as a highly intellectual man, and says he was essentially narrow, and to this narrowness O'Connor attributes the final mis. take of his life. When McCarthy, before the last, moniensous meeting in thfl committee-room- , told Parnell what Glad-stone had said, his reply was to pooh-poo- h the whole business as a mere st howl which would die out if defied. One reason for his attitude was his latent dislike for Engltshmen. ' j A 3IAD WOMAN'S STORY. Claims that Her Husband Aided Tascott to M urder Millionaire Snell. Baltimore, Oct. 14. The widow of the late Albert K. Ordway, who committed sui-cide here last March, was taken to the Bay View asylum yesterday. She has recently asserted that her husband was the companion of Wiilinm Tascott, the man who is sup-posed to have murdered Millionaire Suell in Chicago a few years ago. Ordway was the son of a well-know-clother, and she was married to him in 1SS1. Her husband, she says, soon took to drink, and began to associate with disreputable people. One night ho stood before a mirror Willi a mask un'his face, and declared that . he wa going to have money from old man Snell or kill the s of a ! . She pleaded w lib him to renounce his intention, but he persisted and left the house iu a hurry. Next morning he returned with a bloody hand-ke- n hict o'.id without shoes. When ques-tioned by her he said he had loaned his shoes to Tascott, who had been shot and was lving in the rear of a saloon on West Madisoir.-tree- t. Oil;' of the most important statements in the woman's story is that she knows Tas-cott js (,.;k1. She says she. knows that he was rankled to death and his body car-ried away by his pal-- . In that connection hc mentioned the names of Funkhouser, Martin and Reynolds. Subsequently to the murder of Snell, she says, her hesband was crmtiinially nervous and' always seemed anxious to have the city, although, he was in business with his father. After u great l of persuasion, she agreed to uecompany him to Bu'.'iiiiorc. After they arrived here she mad - up ii,.r mind to expose the crime, but ho induced her not to do so. Finally, as the drink, he suicided. THE NATIONAL WATER WATS. The Initial Meeting of the National Con-i vention Called to Order. Evaxsville, Ind., Oct. 14. The initial meeting of the nationrl water ways conven-tion was held here this morninir. The con-vention opened with 300 delegates present. It was called to order at 1 o'clock by B. D. Wood, of New Orleuns, wbo briefly detailed the history of the preceding conventions and then outlined the importance of the present one. After the call was read and addresses of welcome made and responded to, Charles Anderson of Kentucky was made temporary chairman. Committees were then appointed and the convention ad-journed until tomorrow morning. STATE STREET TORE PAVED Board of Public Works Ready to Adver-tise for Bids. State street is to be paved, from South Temple to Fourth South streets. By the de-cision of the city council at its meeting last night, the board of public works was in-structed to advertise for bids for the work. Commissioner Haines this morning said, the board was ready to obey the the instruc-tions, just as soon as it received official no-tice of the action of the city council and that in all probability, the advertisements for bids would be published within the next few days. The action of the city council is regarded by all classes who wish to see Salt Lake made a progressive city, as with the four blocks named paved, Main, First, Second and Third South streets will have to follow Riiit. in order to keen nn with th hand wacon. The material used is to be asphaltum with a ten foot border on each side of the street of sandstone, except the part within the lines of the street railway tracks, where the eompanyowning the line has the-- option to use either stone or sephaltura. . i Advertisements for bids will run fourteen ejays; the successful "bidder will then have five days longer to secure his bonds and to execute the contract, and ten days more in which to commence work. Everything now depends on the state of the weather; if it is favorable there will be a regiment of men laying the pavement within three weeks. The board of public works believe that in this matter the city will be fully protected, and that it will run no chance from the fail-ure of the material to come up to the prom-ises made for it. The contractor will be re-quired to give an ample bond that the pave-ment shall last for five years, except ordi-nary wear and tear. Ten per cent of the contract price will be retained by the city to cover all contingencies; and at the end of five years the contractor will be required to maintain the pavement in good repair for fifteen years more by the payment by the city f eight cents a yard annually. Fonndations Decided On. There was a consultation of the city and county engineers and architect Monheim yesterday afternoon, on the foundations to be used for the city and county building. They visited the Eighth ward square and looked over the excavations made, handled the dirt thrown out, each asked what the other thought and finally made up their minds, that is to say they decided on the material which ought to be use-d-. They will make their report and recommendations to the joint city and county committee some-time today when one more preliminary of that work will be disposed of. COURT 3I0ITSE FIRE BUGS. A Little Indiana Town Has a Great Sen-sation Prominent Men Arsested. Indianapolis, Oct. 14. A special from Washington, Indiana, says: Detectives have been at work for a week on the court house lire aud so far have arrested four persons supposed to be connected with it. Samuel Harbine, a day laborer living here, after be-ing arrested confessed his crime and impli-cated several prominent people in it. As a result Auditor James C. Lavelle, .A. B. Hawes, a prominent citizen of Steele town-ship, and Basil Ledgerw ood were arrested today. Officers are now out after Michael Laveile, a brother of Auditor Lavelle. Harbine's story is that Lavelle hired him to burn the court liouse for 500, only s of which has been paid. It is reported that Ledgerwood is .i'so to turn states evidence. He claims to have been given a house and lot for his part iu the crime. Auditor Lavelie's bondsmen becoming frightened at the turn affairs were taking, required him to turn ail hispropejty over to - ' - - tin-i- . Lavelle has been auditor for eight years, and the fact that the people had confidence iu him makes his arrest and accusation the sensation of the hour. From the present circumstances it is supposed tliat he is short in his accounts, but no one knows the amount. Experts are now at work on his books. Hawes is in jrood circumstances. He is a desperate character. The city is full of people from the country and business is practically suspended. The four prisoners were before Judge Hefron this morning. They waived prelim-inary examination and were held in default of bail. A later dispatch received says that Ledgerwood and Ilarbinc plead guilty in this af.ernoon. Sentence was sus-pended by the judge as they will be used as wituesses. HALF THE CROP WASTED. Poor Management and Bad Weather in Dakota Causes Enormous Losses. St. Paul, Oct. 14. The weather the past few weeks has undone much of the good done by the fine weather early in the season in North Dakota, and the farmers of the northwest will sutler losses aggregating in millions. The demage can as yet only be estimated, but that the loss will be very heavy there is no doubt. The railroads had n fade special arrangements to handle a great crop, and the fanners considered their wa plans amply sufficient. " But so great was the wheat crop, that, first, it was almost impossible to hire enough to help to secure the crop, and a very large part of it had to belcft standing in the lield. Then it was found that the supply of threshing ma-chines was insufficient and that caused a de-lay which left fully half the crop still in the fields unthreshed, when the rains came. The rains have been general and abundant and today there was some snow, and this has caused a great loss. There is still a graat shortage of threshing outfits, but the weath-er has prevented work more than half the time. . a . 7T IS HOTTER THAN McCook Says it is Inhuman to Keep Any-- ; one at the San Carlos Reservation.

TERRIBLE STORMS IN GREAT BRITAIN. Great Damage Done Along the Coast Many Vessels Wrecked. LoiSDON-- , Oct. 14. A great storm yester-day flooded the lowlands of Northern Wales, causing great damage. The wind was par-ticularly savage at Tamwoorth. It over-turned a number of tents on the race track at F"azely, and severely injured many per sons. The damage at the watering places along the eastern coast of the English channel will be enormous. A Norwegian bark 'went ashore off the coast of Dorsetshire, and much difficulty was experienced in rescuing her crew. A French brig was stranded near Falmouth, where the force of the wind shattered her. No details are learned. A Norwegian ves-sel, coal-lade- n, was totally wrecked off Kearley, Ireland. Several collisions occur-red on the Thames, and many vessels were driven ashore. At Birr, Ireland, the gale de-molished a circus tent which was crowded with children, and many were injured in the wild panic which eusuctl. The area of the storm extends over the whole of England, Ireland and the southern portions of Scotland. A large number of coasters have been lost. The valleys of the Severn and the Dee are flooded. At Brigh-ton the pier and esplanade were swept by tremendous seas. The huge structure which is being prepared for Buffalo Bill's Wild West show is utterly destroyed. At Swan-sea, a number of buildings were unroofed, and at York the roof of a circus was blown off and kiiled a boy in the street. At Dublin the magnificent mourning drap-eries displayed on the occasii n of the Par-nell funeral have beeu entirely blown away, and the same is true of the floral derorations adorning his grave at Glasnevin. At Curdiff and vicinity eleven coasting vessels have beed driven ashore, but the crews were for-tunately saved. The White Star line's Mag-netic was unable to debark the mails aud Ireland-boun- d passengers uecause of the tremenduous sea, and was compelled to pro-ceed to Liverpool direct. The trales continue todav. Passensrer boats which usually venture out in the most severe weather were unable to cross last night. From all sections come reports of damage done and lives endangered. It is impossible yet to give an approximate idea of the damage done on land and sea or the lives at sea. At Helensburg, a watering place on the Frith of Clyde, the streets are flooded, and people driven from their homes.

At the annual meetint of the Methodist ministers Uev..K. W. Bland read a paper entitled, "Literary Revision of the Discipline." - i'iek up the discipline of our church," the reverend :eutleman said, "and you will blush with shame at tindins: the most slov-enly, barbarous, outrageous inaccuracies and im letraneies of composition. It does not possess even the ordinary elements of good writing. There is not a single meritorious feature in it, and it would be the labor of a. year for a man with the pen of an Addison to revise it. Take the marriage service, for example; there is a passage in it which is almost an insult to decency. In one para-S- k graph it calls upon the couple to make it V known if there is any physical impediment ywhieh would prevent their marriage.

JL A' case odething ?iftiJ the recent French decorations scandal hasN just been concluded here. A pamphlet re- - cently appeared charging Herr Manche, ex- - chief of the civil cabinet of Emperor William I., wiln accepting bribes for his services in preferring titles. Soon after a man-ufacturer named Thomas, sued Manche for malversation of funds, deposing that he had paid Manehe 500 marks to obtain for him the title of commissioner of commerce and afterwards confided 30,000 marks to distribute in charities. In defence Manche denies receiving the first gift, and says that he returned J0,000 marks which he had not paid over in charities. There was other evidence, however, going to show that Manche was in the habit of taking money payments for his services of this kind, and that Police Captain Grieff and the Countess Uacke were his accomplices. Manche has been sentenced to nine months' imprison-ment. The developments have created a sensation in Berlin society. SILVER ON LAKE MICHIGAN. A Strke of Ore That Runs 123 1-- 4. Ounces to the Ton.
