murdered the woman who is the victim no
one knows as yet The womans name is
not even known She is known about
the neighborhood as one of the lot of half
drunken creatures who hang about bad re-
sorts and the water side
It was 1045 oclock last night that a man
came into the hotel with a woman and reg-
istered they do register in the hotel as
Knickler and wife He and the woman
took a room on the upper floor and went to
it at once Nothing was seen of either of
them during the night No cry or unusual
noise was heard
This morning the attendant rapped on the
door of the room occupied by the couple
No answer came and he rapped again with
no better result and finally he broke down
the door An awful sight met his gaze
On the bed lay the woman in a mire of
blood She had been dead for hours The
abdomen had been fairly ripped open with
a dull broken knife that lay in tne blood
the viscera had been cut and from appear-
ances part was missing
The man had escaped A very imperfect
description of him was given to the police
and they went to work on it Little leaked
out except that the murderer was a man
about thirty two yeara old and khabbily
dressed

crushed a little boy named Jesse Chapman
He is fatally injured
The battle of the roses will be repeated
on each San Jacinto day

Paris April 24 The May day commit-

manifesto calling for the passage of an act
making eight hours a legal days work
through France Seventy five thousand
copies of this manifesto have been printed
and are being distributed in circles where
it is expected they wHl do the most good to
the cause of the workingmen At all pre-
liminary meetings which have been held by
those who intend to take part in tho May-
day celebration the socialists and others
of that ilk have caused scenes of stormy dis-
cord which has developed the fact that
much bad feeling and want of harmony ex-
ists among the various sections of the work
iugmens party The municipal authorities
of this city have shirked taking any re-
sponsibility for the possible outcome bf the
proposed demonstrations
The Explosion In Italy
Rome April 24 The explosion of efiS
tons of powder yesterday in the powder
magazino at Pozza Pantalo which caused
serious damage and loss of life created
great alarm at tho Vatican All the win-
dows of the popes library were broken and
a number of precious relics destroyed In
addition many valuable panes of colored
glass in the principal windows of St Peters
basilica were smashed to pieces The hand-
some stained glass window over the chair
of St Peter was also broken At St Pauls
church all the stained glass windows were
damaged In fact the damage done at the
church was so great that the building has
been closed to the public while debris is
being cleared away and work of temporary
repairs inaugurated Much of the destruc-
tion wrought by the explosion is irrepara-
ble as valuable works of art which have
been destroyed cannot be replaced Many
of the stained glass windows which have
licen shattered are works of celebrated art-
ists who flourished hundreds of years ago
and though in some cases the windows can
be replaced in many other cases their his-
torical and artistic value is destroyed for-
ever
Many of the most valuable relics of tha
monastery of St Paul have also succumbed
to tho force of the explosion As already
stated some time must elapse before the
full amount of damage will bo known as it
will require a personal visit to and inspec-
tion ol tens of thousands of artistic relics
before the full story of disaster can be as-
certained
It now transpires that the pope had just
conducted the celebration of a low mass and
was engaged in prayer when the explosion
shook tho Vatican building So severe was
the shock that his holiness tottered and
would have fallen had not one of the serv-
ants in attendance sprung forward and
caught him His holiness has now recov-
ered from tho shock he experienced through
the explosion The investigation made by
tho military authorities into tho origin of
the explosion shows that it was caused by
the accidental explosion of some shrapnel
shells capsules A few of the people who
were injured at the time of tho explosion
and who were taken to the hospital have
since died
King Humbert to day is calling at the hos-
pital and is visiting tho wounded peopla
The kings sympathetic action in conveying
some of the wounded in his own carriage to
the hospitals yesterday and in visiting
the wouuded to day is highly appreciated
by the populace of this city
Among those who were hurt by the acci-
dent was Billot French ambassador who
was slightly injured by falling glass
Tho Explosion an Accident
Rome April 24 The investigation by
military authorities in the region of the ex-
plosion shows that it was caused by tho
accidental explosionarf some shrapnel shell
capsules Some of the people injured at tho
time of the explosion were taken to the hos-
pital
The War in India
Simla April 24 Information reached
here that the column advancing on the
Manipur is under Generals Loekharc and
Turner to day reached a large native set-
tlement in the Bhagri valley Tho British
force halted when within sight of the set-
tlement and sent scouts forward
to inform the Manipuris that
the British generals were await-
ing proposals of peace from the insurgent
tribes Tho rebels however refused to
answer this peaceable suggestion and con-
sequently the British troops were ordered
to advance Tho British columns pushed
forward and burned twelve villages which
had been occupied by the Insurgents The
latter in prcat force retreated to the hills
The British forces shelled the hills with
shrapnel shells killing and wounding
large numbers of the enemy and it is now
believed that they havo been completely
cowed
WhltciwayH Statement
London April 21 The Post in an edito-

delegate at the bar of the house of lords
says that Sir William Whiteaway hasnt
made out a very substantial case
The News says the Newfoundland pre-
mier presented a temperate statement
which deserves tho full estimation of the
government and country
The Chronicle sajs that Newfoundlands
objection to arbitration cannot have much
weight now but the assertion that New-
foundland was not consulted upon the adop-
tion of the renewal of the modus vivendi if
correct is good ground for complaint

Among the Unfortunates

Special to the Gazette
Ardmohe I T April 24 It is rumored
that another attempt on the part of tho
Indian government to remove tho white
people whom the Indians are pleased to
call intruders from tho Territory will
soon bo made aud it is said the United
States authorities will aid the Indian gov-
ernment in this measure
The Chickasaw government imposes an
annual tax of 5 per head upon all white
people living in this Nation except such as
havo married citizens of the Nation and
havo become citizens by adoption Only a
small proportion of the non citizen clement
have paid tho tax Thoso who have paid it
will be allowed to remain until December
31 when said permit expires There is
much speculation as to what will become of
the immense interests acquired in this coun-
try by the non citizens Some fear that
their improvements placed upon Indian
lands will bo confiscated by the Chickasaw
government as being attached to the soil
the title of which is not vested in any indi-
vidual but in the Nation and is regarded
as public domain
There are only thirty six hundred natives
in the Chickasaw Nation and about thirty
thousand white people and should an at-
tempt be made to remove the whites it
would provo a failuro unless tho United
States aids them and then force will have
to be used to accomplish the desired result
Some few non citizens of this place have
become alarmed and havo sold their im-
provements and some havo moved away in
anticipation of what is soon to follow Only
small number of citizens attach any im-
portance to the rumor before mentioned
and say Uncle Sam will not permit the In-
dians to run his subjects out and confiscate
their property
What the result will be cannot bo fore-
told

Burney and Judge Love of the Chickasaw
Nation passed through the city to day en
route home from Washington where they
have been as delegates to protest against
tho large number of intruders who have
been permitted to congregate in the Chick-
asaw Nation They succeeded in their pur-
pose and brought back with them the fol-
lowing instructions from the interior de-
partment
Department of the Interior
Washington March 31 1831 f
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Dear Sir There are herewith submitted
you papers concerning the removal of per-
sons unlawfully residing in the Chickasaw
Nation about which you sent mo your
views December lo 1S90 It must bo ad-
mitted that the policy of the government
has been somewhat dilatory and vaccinat-
ing with regard to these people but there
is much to account for the same the
great number of individuals affected and-
the results to them of such action on tho
part of the government as would break up
their present homes Nevertheless I think
with you that the situation now demands
positive actionand inasmuch as large tracts
of land near the Chickasaw country are
about to be opened to settlement I have to
direct that you proceed to have these in-
truders removed in such manner and with
such precautions against unnecessary se-
verity as you may judge best Yours re-
spectfully John W Noble

ber 14 and 1 lb90 transmitting in accord-
ance with instructions a list containing the
names of over 6000 persons alleged to be in-
truders in the Chickasaw Nation and to
previous correspondence on the subject of
Chickasaw intruders I am now in receipt
of a letter of March 24 1S91 from the sec-
retary of the interior replying to my report
of December 13 1S90 in which he directs
me to proceed to have those intruders re-
moved insuch manner and with such pre-
cautions against unnecessary severity as I
may judge best Inasmuch as the intruders
in the Chickasaw Nation wero warned by
you in accordance with instructions con-
tained in my letter of July 17 1S90 those
intruders who have remained and planted
crops have done so at their own risk and
with a knowledge of the fact that their re-
moval was contemplated by the govern-
ment A copy of the secretarys letter is
herewith transmitted with the list of in-
truders above referred to and I have to di-
rect that you notify intruders in tho Chick-
asaw Nation of the instructions the secre-
tary has given this office with reference to
their removal and that these instructions
will be carried into execution at the earliest
practicable moment
By a report of even date herewith I have
recommended to the department that the
secretary of war be requested to cause a
troop of cavalry to be detailed to assist you
in making tho removals required hereby
Very respectfully T J Morgan

The work of removing by force of all in-
truders will begin at once and be kept up
until the last family is beyond the borders

Itegarding the Newspapers
Special to the Gazette
Waco Tex April 24 In executive ses-
sion to day the Alliance conference adopted
the following Whereas the annual con-
ference of the state Alliance of Texas now
assembled in the city of Waco has opened
its doors to the public in its discussion of
matters concerning the public and has
treated courteously the partisan newspaper
reporters who have attended said meet-
ings for the purpose as was supposed by
this conference in good faith ol giving a
true and faithful account of the proceed-
ings of said public meetings and
Whereas some newspaper reporters have
reported only garbled extracts of the
speeches made in such occasions insinu-
ating in much of their report where they
failed to give the languago of the speaker
false and misleading conceptions and judg-
ments clothed in their own language and
AVhereas insinuations that the tendency
of the deliberations of this conference has
been of a partisan political character have
found their way into the press and
Whereas the only political feature of the
Alliance is the study and promulgation of
the truo scientific principles of economic
government in a strictly non partisan
spirit therefore be it
Resolved by this annual conference of
the Texas stato Alliance now assembled at
Waco 1 That we view with distrust and
disfavor the unfair inaccurate and mis-
leading reports of tho partisan press
2 That wo believe the reporters es-
pecially when they are treated courteously
by a deliberative body should give in their
reports concerning that body the truth
the whole truth and nothing but the truth
3 That we view the insinuations of the
partisan press that the character of the do
liberations of this body are politically con-
sidered partisan as unwarranted impugn
ments of the motives that actuate the great
brotherhood of our order
4 That as a great brotherhood of unity
and charity we will stand up like men for
the true scientific economic and conserva-
tive principles and demands of our organi-
zation and will fight our battles for God
humanity manhood and our right in our
own way on an open but non partisan field
5 That we view with patriotic inspiration
and love the noblo and effective efforts of
our brave and conservative leaders and
would veil with charity those whose in-
effectual efforts to fence them round with
calumny and slander fall helplessly to tho
ground

of Hogg and the other state matters re-
ferred to were matters of secondary consid-
eration and were ovidently not contem-
plated when the call for the meeting was
promulgated It was thought by many
that the third party movement would bo
indorsed but the spirit of Democracy was
too strongly entrenched in the hearts of
the Texas Alliauce members to be shaken
by the emissaries from other states and it
was incontinently sat down upon Tho meet-
ings to day were all secret and the business
transacted could only be learned by skillful
applications of the exhaust pump

Harry Tracy Talks
Special to the Gazette
Waco Tex April 24 Harry Tracy ono
of the editors of tho Southern Mercury
a member of the late steering committee
at Austin and a leader in this meeting
was seen by a reporter to day and asked
what he thoucht of the conference
It suits mo down to the ground ho
said It couldnt bo better It was a suc-
cess in every particular surpassing the
mosts sanguino expectations of its pro-
moters There was a good deal of third
party talk as you know but it was all talk
This is a fight between honest Democrats
and party bosses a fight that is in to
stay until bossisra is wiped out
We Alliance men aro true Demo-
crats There is not a principle in our
declaration of purposes that is not Demo-
cratic This was not a political gathering
but a conference of Alliance men seeking a
clearer way to the great end sought by tho
order that of placing tho people of tho
country beyond the prasecutions of mo-
nopoly Tho Alliance is growing rapidly
and steadily in Texas Of course we shall
lose some members among those who hao
been sat down upon so haid but their loss
will be an absolute gain to the order An-
other conference will be held at Dallas next
August
nON ALONZO WARD ILL
of Huron S D the president of tho Na-
tional Alliance insurance department tho
plan or which is to have tho government or
state issue policies has something to say
about the Texas public school fund I un-
derstood he said that you had the most
princely school appropriation in tha world
This I learned before 1 came
It is 100OCOOCO and will be 00
000000 in ten years This is an enor-
mous sum of money No wonder it puzzles
the people I agree with thoso who de-
nounced Gov Hoggs proposal to lend this
money to railroad companies That would
be risky Thero must bo no risk in such a
trust Tho childrens money is too sacred
to place at the mercy of railway wreckers
My plan is to build a railroad with the
school money from British America to Gal-
veston across the two Dakotas Nebraska
Kansas Indian Territory and Texas Tho
state of Texas should own control and
operate this line It would carry
the great wheat aud corn crop of the North-
west to deep water at Galveston and the
cars would return loaded with the products
of the Lone Star state It would be the
best paying railroad in the United States
Then let the dividends pile up to the credit
of tho school fund There is no danger of
having too much school money
COL r i sledge
of Kyle Tex president of the National
Economist publishing companyand also the
president of the Mercury publishing com-
pany said The ultia politlcal clement
seems to have entirely subsided It was a
little rampart on Thursday by to day the
loudest was still as a mouse There
was unanimous support of the
conservative majority in its success-
ful effort at carrying out the
programme on the last day by a free dis-
cussion of tho demands in the executive
session and thorough organization of the
lecture work so as to secure tho best edu-
cational results Several facts have been
positively demonstrated at this conference
of the Farmers Alliance The delegates
may discuss with great heat but they will
not split on the question of politics Tho
radicals used every means to urge the con-
servatives to action but when
they failed they fell into
line The Alliance as an order is reorga-
nizing and is growing rapidly in many sec-
tions of state its membership having nearly
doubled in the last three months It has
implicit confidence in its leaders and those
who have attacked the leaders have won
the resentment of the order The Alliance
if treated right will not favor a third
party It is strongly disposed toward tho
Democratic party and is looking to that
party for its just demands
