His Assailant Was Knocked Down?About 1500 People Took Part Jn Throwing Stones. Stale Kgz* and Other Missiles. Cripple Creek, Col. (Special).--Governor Roosevelt had a most exciting experience in Victor, a few miles from Cripple trees, wnere a demonstrative crowd surrounded his barty.' Several attempts were made to strike Governor Roosevelt, and one man did hit him in the breast with a stick. He promptly was knocked down. The Incident was the only one of the e sort that has occurred in the progress of the trip, and it is said that the trouble was occasioned by a small body of roughs. The men engaged were few in number, but violent in their attack. Governor Roosevelt spoke in Armory Hall in Victor, which was tilled, j TITKr*r* Hia harornar loff tho hflll with ! T!

Goudy, candidate for Governor of Colorado: Percy S. Ryder, candidate for Lieutenant-Govern or; A. M. Stevenson, Lieutenant Tlce and several others. Governor Roosevelt and his party were on foot. A crowd, of *bojs and men began throwing stones. The Rough Riders, mounted and unmounted, closed In around the Govern or to protect mm rrorn assauu oy mu mob. It was at this point that somebody in the mob struck him a blow in the breast with a stick. The assailant immediately was knocked down by Dan- , iel M. Sullivan, postmaster of Cripple Creek. A rush was then made by the mob to drag the mounted men in khaki uniforms from their horses. The men on foot, also in khaki, closed around the Governor, making a wedge which pushed through the crowd, and they finally succeeded in gaining the train, which was surrounded by the mob. By this time there were probably 1500 excited persons in the vicinity, and fisticuffs were exchanged on all sides. Many or.tfle moD were armea i v with sticks and clubs, some with rotten potatoes, stale eggs and lemons. The entire party regained the train, however, without serious injury, and it pulled out of the place, with the Rough Riders on the rear platform. Governor Roosevelt, while regretting the occurrence, was not disturbed by the incident, and was ready to spea^ in Cripple Creek. Bryan on the Incident. Nebraska City, Neb. (Special).?Being shown a telegram to the effect that Theodore Roosevelt was assaulted at Victor, Col., Mr. Bryan wrote the following: "From what I know of the people of Colorado I am not willing to believe without further evidence that they denied to Mr. Roosevelt or to any one else a fair hearing. If it proves true that he was mobbed, or in any way interfered with, I am sure that it was not the work of any political or, sanitation. There can be no justification for a resort to violence in this country, and those who resort to it injure the cause which tliev ronrpspnt " CURIOSITIES OF DAWSON CITY. Berriei at SI.50 a Quart?Lark of Ice In Sntnmer. Washington, D. C. (Special).?Some interesting facts regarding the situation at Dawson City are contained in the report of Consul J. C. McCook, under date of August 22. He says there has been an abundance of wild blueberries, currants, raspberries and cranberries this summer. The cattle aerders on the bills and a few Indians gather the berries "and bring them to Dawson, receiving $1 to $1.50 per quart. The Idea of building an ice plant in Dawson seems like "carrying coals to Newcastle." The lack of ice in summer, however, has been seriously felt, and a contract has been eiven for an ice machine to be placed in a cold storage warehouse. The cost of ice this summer was Ave cents per pound, or at the rate of $100 per ton. . DROWNED IN A WASHTUB. A Woman Faints While Waahlnx and U Found Dead. Newark. N. J.

HU Record a? a Bad Mno Influenced the tfurj'B ?eraici?rruoner orost Down In HI* Cell. Frankfort, Ky. (Special).?James B Howard, charged with being a principal in the assassination of William Goebel, was found guilty,.the jury fixing his punishment as death. , Howard did not lose his composure when the verdict calling for the extreme penalty of the law was read in the crowded court room. He glanced at his attorneys, who sat beside him, and smiled, but said nothing. After the jury had been discharged Howard was taken back to the jail, and here, for the first time, he betrayed emotlnn Wo pflllprl for n nen and naDer. and wrote a long letter to his wife, during which tears coursed down his cheeks. *He was joined later by his attorneys, who spent a good part of the day in conference with him in regard to the motion for a now trial and other matters in connection with the case. W. H. Coulton. who is under indictment as an accessory to the Goebel murder and who gave damaging evidence against both Howard and Caleb Powers, was released 011 bail and his case was continued until the January term. Howard and his friends are bitter in their denunciation of witnesses, WUU| Ult'j . ? cic in iuc v iucj to mnrder Goebel, and have since manufactured testimony against others in order to obtain immunity for themselves. "Jim" Howard, as he is commonly known in the mountains, is a strikingly handsome man. forty-four years of age. He had been the reputed leader of the Howard-White faction in the Baker-Howard feud in Clay County, in which numerous lives have been taken. He' filled George Baker and was suspected of the assassination of Tom Baker. Howard's friends believe these facts had much to do v^ith the making of the verdict sentencing him to the fallows. FLOOD EFFECTS A REUNION. Galveston Dliaater Reconcile* Brother* Separated For Tears. Pll-t-ahiirir Ppnn fSnpHnl).?One of the Galveston sufferers is Robert Johnston, a brother of Samuel A. Johnston, of this city. When the Civil War began the two brothers took different sides. One went into the Union and the other the Confederate Army. When the war ended Samuel came to Pittsburg and Robert went to Texas. The feeling between them was bitter. The families of each knew of the estrangement of the two men. but could do nothing to bring them together. When the flood came Samuel softened enough to allow one of his daughters to wire to her uncle. "Safe, but everything lost," was the reply. This was the beginning of the reconciliation, which has been effected. PUT TREASURER IN HIS SAFE. Robber* Fore* Hi in to Open Tanlt, Secure 81500, and Lock Him Up. Merced, Cal. (Special). ?

MORE WARSHIPS FOR FAR EAST. riiey Are to Compensate For the Reduction of the Land Force*?Karl 1.1 and Prince Chlng Are Recognized For Preliminary Negotiations For Peace Only ?Germany's Proposition Declined. Washington, D. 0. (Special). ? The State Department has made public the texts of the notes addressed by it to the Governments of Germany, Russia and China. The United States have given unmistakable notification to the Powers of their purpose to be prepared to protect by force American Interests in China. Simultaneously with the publication of the correspondence describing the Independent attitude adopted by the United States, Secretary Long banded to the press this statement: "In view of the possibility that later, when circumstances so warrant, the land force", in China will be materially reduced, tiie naval force in Asiatic waters will be from time to time increase with reference to American interests in China and also the Phi'ippines. The following orders have been therefore issued: "The Dorothea, at League Island, and the Annapolis, at Norfolk, have been ordered to fit out for the Asiatic station. "T^e Wilmington has been ordered to the Asiatic station via the Mediterranean, and will be replaced ou the South Atlantic station by the Atlanta. "The Albany, at Piraeus, has been ordered to Manila. "The Kentuky and Yicksburg have been ordered to tlie New York yard to fit out for the Asiatic station." The correspondence shows several new features, indicating a firm policy in the steps toward peace. Germany proposed that such persons ns are determined upon ns being the first and real perpetrators of the crimes committed in Pekin should .be surrendered to the Powers for punishment. President McKinley calls attention to the fact that these wrongs have been committed not alone in Pekin, but in many parts of the Empire, and says that "this Government is disposed to hold that the punishment of the high responsible authors of these wrongs, not only in Pekin, but throughout China, % Is essentially a condition to be em-' braced and provided for in the negotiations for a final settlement." There is an absence of any reference In the correspondence to the proposed withdrawal of troops from China. Ruseio to tniri flint this Government has no present intention of withdrawing Its legation frop.i Pekin. It is learned that General Chaffee has already been Informed that the troops to remain in China during the winter, pending a settlement, will consist of one regiment of infantry, one squadron of cavalry and a battery of artillery, making in all 1800 men, vhich will act as a legation guard. The remainder of the land forces is to be withdrawn eery soon, the retirement of the troops from Pekin to be gradual. To compensate for the reduction in the land forces the President has directed that' the naval force be increased, so that American interests in China will be fully protected. One of the new features of the diplomatic correspondence is the attitude takefl by this Government with Reference to Prince Chlng and LI Hung Chang. The replies to China and Rus sla are almost identical. Both countries are informed that this Govern* ment "accepts the authority of Earl Li and Prince Ching as sufficient for the preliminary negotiations looking toward the return/ of the Imperial Court and to the resumption of its authority at Pekin and toward the negotiation of a complete settlement by the duly appointed plenipotentiaries of the Powers and of China." This recognizes their authority to go ahead with the preliminaries,and is explained to mean that the question of their powers to effect a settlement will be determined later. Minister Conger, however, is told to enter Into relations with both envoys. In the reply to Germany's proposal the President calls attention to the fact that the most effective punishment of the responsible authors of the outrages will be to have their punishment inflicted -by the Chinese Imperial Government instead of by the Powers. He then says: "It seems only jTist to China that she be afforded in the first instance an opportunity to do this and t>us rehabilitate herself before the world." INSANE SON SLEW PARENTS. Cut Their Throats With Hutchet, Then Ended Own Life by Drowning. Foxboro, Mass. (Special).?A murder of exceptional brutality occurred in this town in the killing of Mr. and Mrs. David Lewis Shepard, who .were among the oldest residents of the town. Husband and wife, who were eightyone and seventy-five years old respectively, had their throats cut with a hatchet. From the evidence at hand It is fair to presume that the murder was the crime of William Shepard, a son. forty-five years old, whose body was found in the day in Factory Pond. It is thought that Shepard, who had been incoherent and mentally unsound of late, rose in the early morning, took lue im? ui ma parents ana men committed suicide by drowning. Four Negroei Lynched.
