Special to the Record-Un iojc.

Visalia, Aug. B.—L. D. Whitt, aneighbor of the Evans family, sa%v ateam driven inio Evans' barn near town,:it &90 o'clock to-night. He believed theoccupants were Evans and Sontag, theescaped robbers. He immediately sent aboy to town to inform the ouicers, andLOO men were soon surrounding the place.Sheriff Kay stationed men at all the roadsand in the fields. There was no near ap-proach made to the barn, but a team wassent to town to bring out Frank Byrd,a brother-in-law of Evans, and havehim go into the house. But he refused,saying Evans or Sontag would kill himas quick as anyone. When the Associ-ated Press reporter left the scene about10 o'clock the question of getting theEvans family out of the house was beingdiscussed. When the family are out ofthe way the barn will be fired and thehouse also, ifnecessary.

Sheriff Kay received word to-day thatEvans had bought a team from a partyon Sand Creek, sixteen or eighteen milesfrom the city. It was not believed theman was daring enough to come on theplains and return home. The man whosaw the team go into the barn is reliable.Men have been sent to town for moreguns and ammunition. The officers arenot positive yet that the men are in thebarn, but they state they were not at allsurprised at the nows that the banditshad returned. They intimated they hadexpected such a move on the part of therobbers.

Later.—About 11 o'clock Sheriff Kayawakened Mrs. Evans, and asked if herhusband was there. She replied that howas not, and she got up from bed and ac-companied Kay to the barn with a lightedcandle in her hand. At the barn door shehesitated a inomeat, then entered thebarn.

There was no sign of a wagon or themen.THE ROBBERS BELIEVED TO BE OX NIG-

GER CREEK.RekdllEY, Aug. B.—A telephone mes-

sage just received from Orosi, in the foot-hills, twelve miles from Reedley, says therobbers are on Nigger Creek, ten milesfrom Orosi, surrounded by a posse ofoverfifty armed men.

There were no new developments, butthe ollicers are very sanguine and confi-dent of the capture of the desperadoes, ifihey get no further in the mountains.

Provisions are sent to the posse fromYisalia. The chase will continue withincreased vigilance.

John Sontag stopped at the new Reed-ley Hotel July 22d. He was very talka-tive and astonishingly profane and spentthe evening in the hotel drinking beer.

Scholss, drummer for Cahn, Nickels-burger it Co., shoe manufacturers ofSanFrancisco, was there and Sontag madehim drink tillthey emptied tour bottles.Sontag told Landlord Ayres that he wasgoing to Squaw Valley to join his brother,then they were going shooting.

LOST THE TRAIL.Visalia, Aug. B.—All but two of the

Visalia posse in pursuit of the robbershare returned, the last coming in thismorning. •

The robbers were traced to NiggerCreek, where the trailwas lost. Itis sup-posed they are in the brush near wherethe mule and cart were found.

The party visited Evans' mine at Samp-son Flat and found dynamite and capshidden away. A bundle of letters ad-dressed to George Sontag were there un-earthed from his wile in Minnesota, ad-dressed to him at various points, showinghe did not come directly from the East,as he claims. These letters are a giveaway on him.

An effort was made this morning to or-ganize a party to go to Inyo county withDetective Will smith. Those approachedrefused to accompany him, saying theyhad no confidence in him.

The hills wiil be fullof men to-nightagain, and the pursuit will not be aban-doned until the last hope is gone.

Deputy Sheriff Witty is still cheerful.He lias a pain in his side and there issome fear of pneumonia. As soon as pos-sible he will be removed to his sisters inAlameda County to get out of this hotcountry.

THE ROBnERS SHOT AT.Yisalia, Aug. B.—The shooting at the

robbers, which was reported yesterday,was confirmed to-day by the two menwho did it. Their story is that they fol-lowed the trail of the mule and cart toNigger Creek, twenty-live miles east ofthe city. Tho trail finally turned backtoward town. Soon they saw the mulehitched to a tree a hundred yards fromthe road and in a deep canyon. Herethey waited until they heard the voice olone man calling another. Finally a manapproached the cart, struck a match toliyht a cigar r a pips, aud the watchersfired two shoUs at him withiWinchesterrilles. Tho men in the canyon then madefor the brush.

This shooting took place at 9 o'clockSaturday night. As the two men werealone, they waited for help, which didnot arrive until the next morning. Themen who shot at the robbers claim tohave found bloo 1 in the canyon, andthink they wounded one robber. Theysay the robbers, after the shooting, wentto the horses they had staked in diebrush two hundred yards away, and rodeon toward Wilcox Canyon. They far-ther claim to have found footprints of thehorses the next morning ou the trail.

This statement is not verified by theparty who arrived on the ground Satur-day morning, a majority of those re-turning acknowledge that the trail of tb.3robbers was lost, from the fact that thepursued had cot among the rocks, wherein) footprints were lefi.

There's a high mountain north ofNicerCro?k, and once on top o£ it the robberscould see two or three roads leading tothe monntains, and along which tho pur-Huers have to travel. I>urinc the dav-timo the robbers could sco over theplains for six or ei^ht milos, and tho dustraised on the roads by travelers wouldhe plainly visible. Water is handy anda supply for the day could be obtained atnight. It is not likely the robbers couldescape east across tho mountains, as ailthe roads are still guarded since Fridaynight. There is a possibility, howeverihat they could take the back-track andgain the Coast Range, traveling at night.

Sit is now thought the robbers secured jnot more than $2,300 by the train-rob-bery, leaving the two men not more than '§200 each to escape with, as they paid a jnumber ofdebts here.

CUSTOM-HOUSE FRAUDS.

Officials Make Way With Evidence of!Their Guilt-

Tucsox (A. T.), Aug. B.—Star specialadvices from Bisbee say: At a station onthe Bisbee railroad, a few miles below jthis place, and several miles north of the |Sonora line, four Mexican Custom-houseguards surrounded the station and cap-tured another Mexican, who had beenbut a few months previous chief of theMexican guards. He was on his way tothe City of Mexico, and had with him atrunk, which the invaders took posses-sion of and demanded the key of theowner. This he refused to give up. al-though threats against his lifewere made.

jThey then procured an ax and brokethe trunk open. They took from it abundle of do<-umenis,~ and hastily de-parted lor their own country.

The victim refuses to say anything re-garding the purport of the papers seized,but from another source it is learned jthat they contained damaging testimonyagainst the custom officials stationed inSonora, and that had he reached his des-tination with them it was believed thatwholesale arrests and removals wouldhave speedily followed. A telegram wassent to the commander at Fort Huachrerbut he was unable to act. The matter isbeing laid before the State Department atWashington.

TERRIBLE DESERT WINDS.

Believed to Have Caused the Death ofthe Breedloves and Fish.

San Diego, Aug. B.—The Sun this after-noon prints a letter from Colonel D. K.Allen of Yuma, Ariz., giving importantnews concerning the movements of F. T.Fish and the two Breedloves after June13th. A trusted Indian named GeronimoElizalde says Fish and young Breedlovewere at his camp, near the CocopahMountains, Juno 123d. Fish said he hadfound a rich silver mine, and later, see-ing rock from Gerouimo's mine, wentwith him to inspect the ledge, and nextday arranged to purchase it. The twolelt on the 2oth to return to the wagon andthe elder Breediove. They reiused aguide for water, and were last seen aliveon the afternoon of June 20th, going to-ward Palm Springs. The Indian thinksthey must have died in the hot desertwinds that blew June 30th, July 2d and3d. They were the most terrible everknown on the desert.

Special to the Reookd-Uniox.London, Aug. 8. —This morning when

the House ofCommons met the members Jwere summoned to the House of Louis.!where the speech from the throne, open-ing the session, was read. The speechsaid that as the business of Parliamentwas practically completed before dissolu-tion under the proclamation ofJune 28th,it is not necessary for Parliament now tocontinue its session at this unusual periodofthe year. The hope was expressed thatwhen Parliament meets at the customaryseason it willagain direct attention to themeasures for social and domestic im-provement.

After the Queen's speech was read bothhouses took a recess until 4 o'clock.

When the House of Commons reassem-bled the speech was again read to thatbody. The last portion was greeted withgroans by the Liberals. Barton, the Con-servative member for Midarmagh, movedthe address in reply to tho Queen'sspeech.

Before opening debate on tho addressin reply to the speech from the throneGladstone entered tho House and tookthe usual oath administered to members.Neither the speech moving nor that sec-onding the address attracted any atten-tion, but when Herbert Henry Asquithmoved an amendment declaring theHouse had no confidence in the Govern-ment interest was aroused.

Thomas Burt seconded the "no confi-dence" amendment.

Kt. Hon. Goschen said he hoped theHouse would at least hear somethingdefinite about home rule.

Justin McCarthy said if the LiberalGovernment home rule bill aid not satisfythe people of Ireland there will be anend to it. He believed in the sincerity oftho Liberal assurances.

John Kedmond supported Asquith'smotion. He could not assent to Labou-chere's suggestion giving tho Newcastleprogramme precedence over the homerule question. He would not consent toany policy placing home rule in thesecond rank, nor support any measurelooking to the redistribution bf politicalpower impairing in the slightest degreethe Influence of Ireland. He hoped theywould not have to wait until Februaryfor the provisions of Gladstone's bill.Liberals were goingto be placed in powerby the Irish vote, and they must fulfilltheir pledges. In conclusion, he sug-gested that the autumn session of Parlia-ment should deal with the evicted tenants'aud Irish political prisoners' measures.

In the House of Lords Earl Denleighmoved and Earl Pollis seconded the ad-dress in reply to the speech from thothrone.

Earl Kimberly complained that nopolicy was shadowed in the speech.

Lord Salisbury admitted that there wasnothing in thespeech. The Governmenthad no measure to present to Parliament.They had now arrived at a stage wheu the

I House ofCommons was exercising a pre-rogative, peculiarly its own, of selectingmen whose measures would come after-ward. When those measures were pre-sented there will be no difficulty in crit-icising them.

The Duke of Devonshire said the pres-ent Government would maintain its of-fice until it became certain that varioussections of the opposition would combineto maintain the new Government.

Lord Hershell maintained tiiat no dec-j larations of policy coming from tfie Lib-eral Government ought to be given untilthe Liberal Government was constituted.

The address was approved.

The Case Against Ills Wife PostponedUntil October.

Paris, Aug. B.—The case of EdwardParker Deacon against his wife, whomhe accuses of adultery with Abeille, hasbeen postponed until October. The pub-lic prosecutor has refused to intervenein the case, saying Deacon had better laythe affair before the court himself. Tho

I Attorney-General alleges there are notsufficient grounds to presume adultery.The question was not submitted at thotrial of Dcacdn at Nice, which resulted ina verdict of guilty against Deacon forkilling M. Abeille, whom he caught inhis wife's room at the Hotel Sploudide,at Cannes, and he was sentenced to oneyear's imprisonment. Deacon, it will be

\ recalled, declared that he would take noaction against his wife under the Frenchcriminal law, contesting himself with| procuring a divorce fro:n her. He had Itaken his children from his wife's eus-ICody, and it was her attempt to regainp sscs-ion of them by legal means that

jcaused Deacon to change Lis mind: and led him to institute proceedingsagamat her for adultery.

Canadian Canal Tolls.Montreal, Aug. B.—A dispatch from !

Ottawa, stating the Government pro- |posed to withdraw tho rebate on all graincoming through the Wellaud Canal,caused great excitement in trade here'Steanishipmen, forwarders and shippers jall agree that this simply adds little 'more than half a cent a bushelon allgrain coming via tho St. Lawrence route.The inland and ocean navigation compa-nies will have to pay this between them-selves, but it is not thought the volumeof business will be materially affected.

The Cobden Club.London, Aug. S.—The annual report

of the Cobden Club is largely devoted tojLord Salisbury's celebrated Hastingsspeech. The report laments the effectSalisbury's language must have on Euro-pean countries having high protectivetariffs and which were hanging out sig-

; nals of distress at the very moment Salis-! bury hoisted the protection flag. The re-| port says the speech will also have abaneful effect on free trade in the UnitedStates.

Strychnine tho Cause of Death.London, Aug. B.—The case of Thomas ,

Neill, under indictment for poisoningMatilda Clover, was resumed to-day. Dr.Stevenson, Government analyst, whoexamined the stomachs of Marsh, Sbri-vell and tho Clover girls, also suspected

Ito be victims of Neill, testified he had| found strychnine in the organs examined,Iand this was undoubtedly the cause of> death.

KNIGHTS TEMPLARSCONCLAVE.

LIVELYSCENES PRESENTED INTHESTREETS OF DENVER.

Loaded Trains Continue to Arrive—TheCalilornlans Entertain Their

Many Friends.

Special to the Record-Union.Denver, Aug. B.—Tho population in-

creased nearly 35,000 to-day and still thorush continues. Probably a quarter ofthose present were Knights. A majorityof the visitors aro Americans, but thecrowd is very cosmopolitan. The scenesabout the Union Depot were lively be-yond description. In many trains num-bers of passengers stood for hundreds ofmiles. They were packed to the verydoors. The depot yards and streets ofthe city wero filled with inarchingKnights all day. The visiting command-eries wero oseorted to tho headquartersby the local Knights and the ceromoniesgave tho city a gay appearance. Thecrowds were well handled and everybodywere given good accommodations.

Beside its cosmopolitan feature, Den-ver had a typical Western aspect to-day.Representatives of four tribes of Indianswho are giving "Wild West" exhibi-tions, roamed about tho city, whileprairie schooners occasionally passedthrough the streets. The occupants weresupplied with camping outfits, and willput up touts in the outskirts, where theywill live daring the conclave. The pict-uresque cowboy was on hand, and causeda sensation. Their leader carried a Win-chester rilio instead of a baton, and thecommands were given by the crack ofthis arm. A band of cowboys were doingescort duty all day.

The decorations in the business dis-tricts were finished to-day, and the evewas greeted on every side by KnightsTemplar emblems and artistically ar-ranged bunting. Rows of incandescentcolored lights are strung' across thostreets, ami when illuminated to-ni^htthe city presented a beautiful and uniquespectacle.

Receptions were tendered the visitorsat the various clubs and headquarters to-night. When St. Johns, No. 4, of Phila-delphia, arrived withGrand Master Gibinof the Grand (ominandery, he was re-ceived with a salute of twenty-one guns,aud escorted to the temple, where GrandCommander Carr of Colorado made anaddress ofwelcome. General Gibin madea suitable response. Learning that aprize competitive drill was arranged for,General Gibin. expressed disapproval,and Commander Carr countermanded theonier for tho drill.

The date of the parade is still unset-tled.

The Californiaiis have not let an op-portunity pass to entertain their friendsand enjoy themselves. This afternoonSir Knights C. H. Wilson and S. L, M.Shatteiiy gave a joint birthday party atwhich speeches were made and goodwishes exchanged. Honolulu is repre-sented by one delegate, Sir Knight Wil-liams, who was enthusiastically greeted.The practice drill, mounted, of the Cali-fornia Drill('orps was had this afternoon,and the men did themselves proud. Tak-ing this as a sample, California will beone ofthe notable commanderies in to-morrow's parade. The drill corps wasgiven a dinner this evening by sirKnight Boettoher of Denver, and later<>n the entire oommandery attended a re-ception given by Mrs. Christie of Denver.

It is estimated that nearly 20,000Knights are In town.

English as Sho Is "Vpult."

I was in one of our schools the otlmrday where I picked up the followingthrilling composition written by s 12---year-old giri, says a writer in the North-western Magazine, which is one of theDeist pieces of English as she is "spelt"that I have yet seen :

"A right suite littie buoy, the son of akernel, with a rough round his neck, fluoup the road as quick as a dear. After vthyme he stopped at a house and wrungthe belle. His tow hurt hymn, aud hekneaded wrest. He was two tired to razehis fare, pail face, and a feint mown ofpane rose from his lips.

The Crucifix of Mary Stuart.

When Mary Queen of Scots, on Febru-ary 18, 1587, was led to the scaffold she

; held in her hands a precious crucifix.Which has changed hands many timessince that date. The last owner of theesteemed relic was the German poetess,Countess Hahn-Hahn, who left it at herdeath to the cathedral in the City ofMayence, where it has lately been de-posited. It is no longer perfect, a num-ber of small pieces having been brokenoffand lost, but the genuineness of thorelic is proved beyond the possibility ofa doubt.

V\ ASHI9OVOK, Aug.*.—By authority ofthe house, Holman will print his speechin the Congressional Record to-morrow,dealing with the appropriations made atthe last session of Congress from a Dem-ocrstie standpoint. He says:

"The appropriations made by this ses-sion of Congress, including tho perma-nent appropriations, show a reduction of$33,52 <J,UJ»I under the appropriations of thelast Congress, or a reduction euuivalentto §100,000 for each Congressional Districtin the United States. But for purposes ofcomparison the amount of the river andharbor bill, £21,153,018, should be de-ducted from the appropriations of thissession, for tho reason that no river audharbor bill passed at the last session ofCongress. Against the appropriations ofwhich those made at this session shouldlogically be contrasted, without the riverand harbor bill, the appropriations thisyear were 154,682,909 less than the wholeappropriations made at the second sessionof the Fifty-first Congress."

This is how Holman reaches his conclu-sions: Second session of the Fifty-firstCongress—total, as stated in officialtables, $525,018,072 75. Add amount esti-mated by the treasury under indefi-nite items in the Sundry Civil Act forpay and bounty claims, §985,000; addamount estimated by treasury as re-quired under the iudehnite appropria-tions to refund tho direct tax, $15,227,000;total, §541,230,072. First session total asstated in the official tables, §403,398,510;expenditures reported by Treasurer underindefinite items inSundry CivilAct forpay and bounty claims, §1,302,059; addexpenditures reported by treasury underpermanent appropriations made up dur-ing the last Congress, and not includedin the official tables, #29,095,078; total,$494,450,24*.

Total appropriations of the Fifty-firstCongress, $1,035,686,921. Average apDro-priations by tho Fifty-first Congress" foreach of its two sessions, $517,84->,400.

The total appropriations macle at thissession amount to £507,701,380, includingthe river and harbor bill, being $33,529,---291 less than those made at tho last ses-sion of Congress and, deducting the riverand harbor bill, a reduction of 554,082,909,and in contrast with the average appro-priations for the two sessions of the lastCongress the reduction is £10,142,080.

Holman states that $79,527,002 of theappropriations made at the session justended were pursuant to laws (such as thesugar bounty, pensions, etc.,) enacted bythe preceding Congress.

He adds: "I admit the results of thepresent session of Congress will fullymeet the expectations of the Democraticparty, but there are facts that the countrywillconsider injeomparingappropriationsof the present session with those of thelast Congress."

Representative Henderson of lowa,senior member of the House Appropria-tions Committee, reviews the appropria-tions of the past session as follows: "Theappropriations bill, as they passed theHouse at this session, without includingany contracts of re-appropriations, etc.,are 921,885,820 greater than theapuropria-tions of tho first session of the Fifty-fir.st Congress as they passed theHouse. Including the appropriationsfor pensions, purposely left for theSenate to add, and they aro §33,848,101greater. The appropriations of thelirst session of the Fifty-second Con-gress, without contracts, "etc., exceededthe average of the last Congress $3,740,---358. The appropriations and authorizedcontracts, etc., of this sessiou exceed thesame of the first session of the last Con-gress §102,270,380. The appropriations oftiie last session of the Fifty-second Con-gress, without contracts, etc., exceed thelirst session of the Fifty-first Congress,without contracts, etc., $45,082,500. Totalappropriations, without contracts, thissession, $-507,701,380; total appropriationsthis sessiou, with authorized contracts,j003,392,501.

in Europe are the Czar of Russia and thoPrince of Wales. The number of the re-pasts and the amount of food consumedat each of these are enough to startle or-dinary mortals. The Prince of Wales,for instance, after a first light meal onarising, eats an enormous breakfast, anequally copious luncheon following at •!o'clock. At sor 6 o'clock there is a kindof tea; that is to say, it is tea only inname, and resembles far more the Rus-sian "prashnick," for it includes caviarand pate-de-foie gras, sandwichessmoked salmon and all sorts of what arefalsely termed "appetizers." It is, in-deed, a square meal, washed down bydrink which is far stronger tban tea. Be-tween 8 and 9 o'clock there follows din-ner, and shortly after midnight the Princeis ready once more for a very hearty sun-per. *
