ROAST FOR FLUNKEYS
Representative Wheeler Creates
Sensation in the House.
ANGL0-MAN1ACS ARE FLAYED
Embassy to Coronation and Reception
Planned For Visit of Prince
Henry Savagely Attacked
By Kentuckian.
The monotony of a private pension
day In the house was enlivened Fri
day by a very sensational speech
<">» w»..i.r, «' *“*»■**. 1 ° «*•
nunelatlon of what he denominated
"flunkeylsm” to foreign countries. He
took the recent statements emanating
from continental cabinets regarding
the attitude of Great Britain during
the Spanish war as a text for a whole
sale attack upon the trend of our re
cent diplomacy. In the course of his
remarks he severely scored Secretary
Hay, and declared that if Lord Paunce
foto had S(iUgiu * as was alleged, to
circumvent . us during , the war of ,
1898, the sooner he was shipped across
the seas the better. He also took oc
casion to criticise the president for
hia reported intention to send his
daughter to the coronation of King Ed
ward, and to protest against the offi
cial reception of Prince Henry.
His speech aroused the house to a
high pitch of excitement, and elicited
from Mr. Boutelle, of Illinois, a spirit
ed defense of Secretary Hay, whom he
eulogized in highest terms. Several
other other members of the republi
Sid6 , , took . . , }l 311(1, , and „ , lfi-tPr in tH6
C3.I1 3
afternoon Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, in
a twenty-minute speech took Mr.
Wheeler to task for his “inopportune
protest.” and rehearsed the history of
the visit of the prince of Wales to
this country in 1860 and his reception
by President Buchanan.
Until 1896, he said, all Americans
had glorified in the splendid isolation
of the republic and its determination
to hold aloof from foreign entangling
alliances. Less than five years ago,
he declared, a president "egged on by
the pitiable flunky in the state depart
ment” had stretched his arms across
the seas in adulation to the people of
Britain and today the govern
ment was hugging to its bosom a na
that since the battle of Yorktown
systematically and persistently
our downfall.
He sneered at the “shoulder-strap
ped gold lace flunkeys” who were to
be dispatched across the Atlantic to
bend the knee to and kiss the hand of
the English king, whose government,
he declared, had attempted to form a
coalition of European governments to
thwart us while we were seeking to
strike the shackles from Cuba.
Turning to England's war in South
Africa, he denounced her tyranny and
the part we had in it in allowing war
material to be shipped from our
shores. If half that was said of “this
man Pauncefote” was true, he declar
ed, he ought to be shipped across the
water, and “the soooner the better.”
Referring to the report that a mem
ber of the president’s family was to at
tend the coronation, Mr. Wheeler said
it was perhaps unDecomlng to allude
to it. Nevertheless, he said, he con
sidered it “most unfortunate and un
precedented and to be lamented by ev
ery liberty-loving American.”
It was but one more link in the
chain. Mr. Wheeler then turned to the
prospective visit of Prince Henry.
With a gesture of contempt he declar
ed that “European maniacs were fall
ing over each other” to see the “little
Dutchman.” There were thousands of
Americans following the plow, he said,
who are as honest and as noble as he.
Why, he asked, should the American
people give heed to this f.unkeylsm of
the present administration. We should
treat our visitors politely, but why
“fall down and 4 .worship them.”
The whole house was aroused by
Mr. Wheeler’s philippic. Several
times the democratic side burst into
applause.
As he was concluding Mr. Grosven
or, of Ohio, asked if Mr. Wheeler had
been living at the time of the visit of
Lafayette, as the representative of the
king of France, whether he would
have opposed the reception accorded
the Frenchman by Washington.
“I should have been proud to receive
the Marquis de Lafayette,” replied Mr.
Wheeler. “He helped to fight for our
liberties.”

Clach Between Posse and Mountain
eers More Fatal Than First
Reports Indicated.
Later advices from Middlesboro,
Ky .regarding the bloody battle be
tween a sheriff's posse and a gang
of mountaineers, states that although
the scene of the fight between the
sheriff’s posse and Lee Turner’s men
Is less than four miles from Middles
boro, it Is still impossible to ascertain
the exact casualties on the Turner
side. It is known that nine men, all
told, are dead, but It is not known
definitely how many men were in the
log cabin, designated in first reports
as a saloon, when the officers made
the attack and burned it, and It may
be that several were killed or wound
ed and were consumed in the flames.
Those who escaped into the Cumber
land mountains are still defiant. The
dead are:
Deputy Sheriff Charles Cecil Posse
man John Doyle, and the following
mountaineers: Charles Dye, a ne
gro; Marsh Wilson, Perry Watson,
Frank Johnson, bartender; Mike
Welch, Jim Prado, Joe Hopper.
There are reports of wounded Tur
ner men being taken care of in the
mountains.
Fight Caused By Mules.
A mouth ago some mules owned by
Turner were levied upon because of
a debt due Giles Colscm. A week ago
Turner, with a bodyguard, went to
Virginia, where the mules had been
taken, and regained them. While es
caping, Moore McCreary, one of Tur
ner’s hands, was mortally wounded.
Wednesday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Thompson, of Bell county, swore in a
posse of flrty citizens of Middlesboro
to arrest Turner and the men impli
cated in the Virginia raid.
Turner heard of this and gathered
the mountaineers into his fortress for
his defense.
When the posse arrived a demand
for surrender was refused and firing
began at once. Deputy Sheriff Cecil
was killed in front of Turner’s gate.
John Doyle, a member of the posse,
endeavored to secure Cecil’s body and
was shot dead.
Enraged, by this the posse set fire
to the wooden lortress. The flames
spread rapidly and a steady stream of
bullets was poured into the barricade,
resulting in the known deaths of sev
en other men. Finally a number of
Turner's men fled to the mountains.
Trouble is expected, however, before
any arrests are made on the charge
of murdering Cecil and Doyle. At
last accounts Lee Turner, with his
brother, “The General,” and a large
force, were patrolling the district
around the ruins of the quarter house
and will allow no one from Middles
boro to pass to the Mingo mines or
elsewhere. Meantime the officers are
reticent as to their next move.
“TED OUT OF THE WOODS.”
Such Is Joyful Remark of President
Regarding His Boy.
President Roosevelt left Groton,
Mass., for Washington Thursday af
ternoon on a special train. As the
thain started, the people at the sta
tion cheered lustily and the president
bowed his thanks from the platform.
Just before his depature President
Roosevelt, accompanied by Dr. Lam
bert, went over to the Powell cottage,
the newspaper headquarters, to per
sonally meet the reporters and corre
spondents who had been in Groton
since Sunday. He was in extremely
good spirits as he shook each man by
the hand and said a hearty word to
each. He said:
“I want to thank you, boys, for the
consideration which you have shown
myself and family and for all the
courtesies which have been extended
to me by the press. There has been
such a sudden change in Ted that he
has come up all of a sudden, and he
Is now- out of the woods.”
Continuing,'' the president said:
“Alice will come over from Washing
ton tomorrow to take my place, to a
certain extent, while Mrs. . Roosevelt
will remain here perhaps ten days
more. Then, when Ted is in condi
tion she will takq him to the white
house for awhile, but he will return
here and continue his studies.”
ABDUCTORS ARE ATTACKED.
Brigands Fight Brigands For Posses
sion of Miss Stcne and Ransom.
Referring to the reported engage
ments between brigands for the pos
session of Miss Stone, the Constantino
pie correspondent of the Echo de Par
is says:
“The captors of Miss Stone and Mad
ame Tsilka have been attacked by an
other band of brigands, seeking to se
cure the prisoners ir. order to get the
rensom.
“Twenty men on both sides were
killed during the fight, but the origi
nal captors of the missionary were vic
torious.”
GREAT IS THE LIBERTADOR.
Revolutionary “Tub” Sinks a Vene
zuelan Gun Boat.
A dispatch from Wlllemstadt, Island
Curacoa, says: A schooner which
communicated Tuesday with the Vene

ter sank the Venezuelan gunboat Gen
eral Crespo, recently near Cumarebo.
The ca.Jtaln and crew of the Crespo
art prisoners on board the Libertador.
posSE AND BANDITS
In Desperate Tray Resulting In
Six Dead and Six Wounded.
BURNED GUT OF BARRICADE
Desperate Gang of Mountaineers Defy
Arrest and Battle to a Finish
Near Middlesboro,
Kentucky.
Six men are dead and as many more
are dying as the result of a battle be
tween officers from Middlesboro and
mountaineers, says a special to the
Knoxville (Tenn.) Journal and Tri
bune from its Middlesboro, Ky., corre
spondent.
The battle, which was one of the
most desperate affairs of its kind in
the history of mountain warfare, oc
curred between 4 and 6 o’clock Wed
nesday afternoon at Lee Turner’s
"Quarter House” saloon, 3 1-2 miles
from Middlesboro.
Last month Turner had some mules
and other goods levied on in payment
for a debt, and a few nights ago, it is
alleged, he, with others, went to Vir
ginia, where the property had been ta
ken, secured what was formerly his,
and returned to the “Quarter House."
Wednesday Deputy Sheriff William
Thompson summoned a posse of ten
or fifteen men for the purpose of ar
resting Turner at his “Quarter FJouse”
saloon. The Louisville and Nashville
refused to convey the officers to the
saloon, and they walked through the
mountains.
Turner had heard that an attempt
would be made to arrest him, and he
and his men, fifteen in number, gave
the officers a warm reception.
The saloon is well suited for an at
tack like this. It is built of huge logs
and is surrounded by a 30-foot fence,
ia which loop holes are cut, so that
the inmates can shoot outsiders. Tur
ner’s surrender was demanded.
His reply was a round of shot. Char
ley C. Cecil, of Middlesboro, was rid
ing in plain view of the Turner gang.
Some one raised a window of the
leg dive and shot Cecil, who fell dead.
Instantly the man at the window
fell back, pierced by a half dozen
bullets.
Then the firing began in earnest,
the officers scattering and hiding be
hind trees and rocks, and pouring a
fire into the mountain for
tress.
In the fight John Doyle, a former
railroad man, was badly wounded, per
haps fatally, and Simon Bean, another
ex-railroader, was shot in the hand.
The "
town men gathered closer
Turner’s place, undaunted at
shots which whizzed around them.
soon as Cecil was killed his com
determined to burn Turner’s
and in the midst of the
battle a fellow applied a torch to an
exposed side of the building.
A few minutes later the building was
flames. Seceral of the mountain
came to the window and were
shot down.
The posse surrounded the barricade,
to let none escape. Lee
and several of his friends, how
in some manner escaped, and is

Several of his men per-

Oeven Men Met Instant Death In p
culiar Wreck—A e
Score More Ar e
More or Less Injured.
Seven men were killed and at least
fourteen were seriously injured by a
huge bowlder, weighing fifteen tons,
crashing into the caboose of a work
train on the Choctaw, Oklahoma and
Gulf railroad twenty miles west of
Little Rock, Ark., at 10 o’clock Fri
day morning. The worn train was
headed west, the engine pushing six
cars and a caboose. As it was passing
along the track under the high bluffs
bordorlng the river two miles west of
little Mamnelle, the crew saw a heavy
rock rolling with awful velocity down
the steep declivity, haviug been de
tached from the hillside by the rains.
The train was goixg slowly, but -was
almost upon the r4fc when it struck
the trade Engineer Nazor reversed
his engine at once, but it was so close
upon the obstacle that the train struck
it with almost full force. The caboose
was at the head of the train, and was
shivered into splinters. Most of the
men who were killed and injured were
in the caboose.
There was a crew of fifty-four men,
white and \olored, and they were go
ing to a point further up the road to
clear a slight wreck. There were just
back of the caboose three cars oi
sand, and many of the men were bu
ried underneath the heap of sand
which was thrown forward by the ter
rific impact. Six men are known to
have been killed outright. Three were
left on the scene and three were
removed to Little Rock on the train
that was dispatched to the scene as
soon as the news could be sent to the
city. Fifteen injured were carried to
Little Rock and are now at St. Vin
cent infirmary. One of the most des
perately injured died on the way to
the hospital from the depot.
It is believed there are otfjers killed
or buried under the sand at the scene
of the wreck, as there are several
missing, and as yet are unaccounted
for. A crew of workmen are clearing
the wreck and looking for the bodies.
FREIGHTS IN COLLISION.
Three Men Killed, Others Injured and
Cars Demolished.
A special from Altoona, Pa., says:
Three men killed, four probably fa
tally and two seriously injured, one
freight train a complete wreck and an
other nearly so, are the results of an
accident Friday morning on the Penn
sylvania railroad on the steep grade
a few miles above the Horseshoe
curve.
Control of the second section of its
eastbound train was lost soon after
the other entered the tunnel and two
miles west of Allegrippus it crushed
into the rear of the first section. Ten
cars, the caboose and two engines
were completely wrecked.
DUMONT’S BALLOON COLLAPSED.
Flying Machine “Lands” Aeronaut In
the Sea, But Rescue Was Effected.
A dispatch from Monaco, France
says: Santos Dumont’s dirigible bal
loon collapsed at Sea' Friday after
noon. Dumont was rescued unhurt.
The aeronaut started at 2:30 p. m.,
end was proceeding in the direction of
Cape Martin. When opposite the Ca
hino at Monte Carlo a rent occurred
in the balloon and in less than ten
minutes all the gas had escaped and
the balloon fell into the sea.
Several boats, including the Prince
of Monaco’s launch, w r ere following
the balloon and Santos Dumont was
rescued. The balloon sank.
