Direct Legislative League.

ST. LOUIS, July 2-2.——The Direct Legis-
lative league, which seeks to ingraft the
initiative and referendum system upon the
American political system, held its first ses-
sion' today. Its stated objects are to se-
cure: ,

First.—In all future platforms, munic-
ipal and local as well as state and na-
tional, the strongest possible direct legislaj
tion declaration.

.. Second. —The widest discussion of di-
rect legislation.

T Third—A union of reform forces, local
or national, for the some candidates, but
without necessarily giving up separate or-

ganizations or distinctive issues and plat-

forms.

The Republican Campaign.

CHICAGO, July 22.--It has been settled
that the Republican campaign in the north-
west will be opened next week in Minne-
sota and Nebraska with speeches by Sen-
ator Burrows and Roswell G. Horr of
Michigan. Just before he left for Cleve-
land Chairman Hanna said he was not so-
riously disturbed by the apparent growth
of free silver sentiment in the west. He

does not believe 'it is as strong as it has
been represented, but he will conduct the
campaign on the idea that the silver people
have as much strength as they claim.

“We shall begin the campaign at once,"
he said, ”by distributing sound money lit-
erature and sending sound money speakers
into the silver strongholds. The free silver
managers have been at work for a year or
more trying to educate the people up to
the point of believing that their theory is
the correct one: So far as the financial
issue is concerned there should be no
division on partisan lines, as between Re-
publicans and Democrats, in this cam-
paign. We expect that many Democrats
who believe in sound money will vote with
us.”

Nebraska Paper Bolts Bryan.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 22.-—The Butte Ga-
zette, a Democratic paper published
northwestern Nebraska, has bolted t 6
ticket. In the last issue of the paper the

ticket ”McKinley and Hobart” appears at,

the head of the editorial page, and the at-
titude of the paper is given as follows:

“We have been long suffering and have
hoped for the best, but the action of the
Chicago convention is not Democratic.
We are reluctantly compelled in the inter-
est of true Democracy and of the country
to use our influence with our readers
against the Chicago ticket and urge them
to support McKinley and Hobart.”

Nebraska Gold Democrats.

OMAHA, July 22.—The gold standard
wing of the Democratic party in Nebraska
is in doubt as to what course to pursue in
the coming camxiaign. That they will not
support Bryan and free silver is the only
thing that is definitely decided. Euclid
Martin, the recognized leader of Nebraska,
is going east to confer with eastern dele-
gates. He thinks the west will join a re-
volt. ' . ~

Major McKinley Didn’t Attend.

CLEVELAND, July 22.—Major McKinley
decided that he wouldn't attend the oxen
cises of the centennial celebration today
and remained quietly at Winermere, the
suburban home of Mr. M. A. Hanna. In
answer to the question how long he would
remain in Cleveland Major McKinley said,
“Till Friday or Saturday, excepting a few
hours at Alliance. ”

Banks to Replenish the Treasury.

NEW YORK, July 22.-—-In pursuance of
the informal agreement of the national
banks of this city to protect the treasury
gold reserve several meetings of bank of-
ficials were held again today to consider
the situation. It is not certain at the mo-
ment that any gold will be turned in to-
morrow, but in an informal way bank of-
ficials generally confirm the reports that
the banks are prepared to turn into the

subtreasury an amount of gold extending.
to at least half of their holdings.

Bolling Mills to Resume Work.

Prr'rsscuc, July 22.—-More than 4,000
men, employees of the National Rolling
mill at McKeesport, have been granted
the Amalgamated scale, and all the mills
of the company, it is expected will soon
be at work on double turn. The scale
price is based on an increase for puddling
from 84 to $4.50. The increase to puddlers
raises the wages for helpers accordingly.

Whitman Mills Strike Compromised.

New BEDEORD, Mass, July 2a—The
weavers at the new Whitman mills, who
struck yesterday because a new method of
paying by the piece would reduce their
pay, as they alleged, from $9 to $6 per
Week, held a conference with the manage-
ment. It resulted in a guarantee of $9 per
Week, and the strikers voted to try the
new system for two weeks.

A Horrible Triple Butchery' Committed
on the High Seas. '

FIRST OFFICER SUSPBOTED.

Tim Skulls of the Captain, His Wife and
the Second Mate of the Herbert Ful-
ler Crushed In W'ith Axes—The

Details of the Crime. I

HALIFAX, J uly 22.—By the arrival here
at the barkentine Herbert Fuller one of
the most horrible butcheries that ever oc-
curred at sea has come to light.

None of the melodramatic features of a
sea tragedy is lacking in the tale of mu-
tiny and death.

The victims of the wild rage of murder-
ous seamen are Captain Charles I. Nash,
Mrs. Nash, his wife, and the second ofi'icer
of the ship. -

All were slaughtered while sleeping in
their berths, and the crime was not known
until the watch below was called for duty
on deck.

The Herbert Fuller is an American ves- '

She sailed from Boston on July 8 for
The murder of the captain was
what obliged her putting in here.

Disafiectlon of more or less pronounced
character prevailed among the crew from
the time she left port.

The men sulked at their work, and
when ordered about by their ofiicerseither
refused to obeyxor went about their work
in a sullen Way. ‘

They complained about the food and ev-
erything else, and the usual "sea lawyers”
in the forecastle helped to increase the dis-
content.

The bad feeling of the men reached a
climax a few nights ago.

The Triple Murder.

Captain Nash‘s quarters and those of
the second mate were aft. During the
night; when the first mate was on watch,
the mutineers stole aft in the shadow of
the bulwarks to the captain’s quarters.

Pacing up and down the little quarter-
deck on watch the mate knew nothing of
what was going on.

The men got aft unobserved. They had
provided themselves with axes. They
crawled into the cabin where theirzunsus-
pecting victims slept.

Then swift blows were rained down on
the sleepers. Captain Nash, his wife and
the second mate were literally chopped to
death.

Death must have been instantaneous in
every case, as there was no outcry, no
groan of. pain to warn the watching mate
on deck of the devilment going on below.

When the watch was called, the second
mate was found lying dead in pools of
blood. Investigation showed that the cap-
tain and his wife had shared the same fate.

The mate, carpenter and steward armed
themselves and took charge of the ship.

They decided to put into Halifax and re-
port the tragedy.

A police boat was sent ofi to the vessel,
and all the crew were arrested and taken
ashore to the jail. The aflair has caused
great excitement.

Captain Nash was the owner of the vessel.
which is about 743 tons burden and balls
from Harrington, Me

As far as could be learned Captain Nash
had not been in trouble with sailors before.

so].

Confirmation Via Boston.

BOSTON, July 22.—Private advices from
Halifax say: The barkentlue Herbert
Fuller, Captain Nash, from Boston
J uly 8, for Rosario, put into Halifax to-
day fiying the stars and stripes at half
mast with a black flag immediately be-
neath. This is the signal for “mutiny on
board,” and the entire post was at once
filled with excitement. A few moments
more and the Fuller was boarded and it
was learned that murder had been added
to mutiny and that Captain Nash, his
wife Laura, and Second Officer Bramberg
had been killed in their bunks while
asleep. The murders had been committed
with axes. The rooms in which the vic-
tims lay were covered with blood, showing
that a severe struggle had taken place, and
the bodies Were horribly mutilated. The
cook, Jonathan Sheers of Rosario, suspect-
ed the mate, Thomas Bram, and succeed-
ed in placing Bram in irons, and he aft-
erward ironed the man who was at the
wheel at the time the murder was commit-
ted. Upon arrival .of the vessel all on
board, including Frank Monks of Boston,
who was a passenger, were placed under
arrest. The United States consul here has
telegraphed to Washington for instruc-
tions, pending the receipt of which he has
enjoined all connected with the aflair to
maintain the strictest'silence.

In view of these conditions it is difficult
to obtain further facts, but it appears that
the murder was committed at 2 o’clock
on the morning of the 13th inst. Captain
Nash and his wife were in their respective
sleeping apartments, and Bram berg was in
his, which was separated from those of
Captain Nash and wife by the room occu~
pied by Monks. It was the first cfiicer’s
watch. When all was quiet on board and
those below were soundly sleeping, the
murderer or murderers crawled aft to the
cabin, descended, and with axes chopped
their victims to death.

The aflair became known not long after-
ward. Then the cook, a colored man who
had shipped at Rosario, became suspicious
of Mate Thomas Bram, a Nova Section,
but a naturalized American, and Bram
was placed in irons. The man who was at
the wheel when the. murder was commit-
ted was also placed in irons and the ship
was then headed for land, and made Hali-
fax.

The bodies of the victims Were all placed
in a boat, covered with canvas, and were
towed behind the vessel. They are now in
charge of the coroner here, who will hold
an inquest. Police officers have been placed

' in charge of the Fuller under direction of

the United States consul, and nobody is
allowed on board. The Herbert Fuller
hails from Harrington, Me. The murdered
captain was 44 years of age, and his wife
37. Depositions of all concerned will be
taken here and sent with the Witnesses to
the United States; the committing of the
crime being on the high seas.

The roster of the officers and crew of the
bark Herbert Fuller is as follows:

C. I. Nash, master; Thomas Bram of
Boston, first mate; August W. Bramberg,
second mate,native of Finland, naturalized
American; Jonathan Spencer of Rosario,
cook; seamen, Frank Lchese, Charles
Brown, Henry J. Slier, 0. Anderson, Wil-
liam Hagerty and Henry Pronk.

among the coal miner..- of this district is a
very serious one. The sheriff is at Starr
City, where there is much exci.elnent.

was seriously injured. The imported men

ing miners are assembled there, all in a
high state of excitement.
