A Shamoklnlte Attempts Murder In Clearfield County. Samuel Gilham, a foimer resident of Shamokin, who departed from there early Saturday morning on the Beading train, shot and probably fatally wounded his wife at Philipsburg Saturday night. Gilham and his wife have been separated for some time and Saturday night he found her in the railroad station at Philipsburg. He wanted her to accompany him and upon her refusing to do so he pulled out a revolver and shot her in the head, inflicting a wound which will prove fatal. After having committed the deed Gilham made his escape by boarding a train for Houtzdale.

After crossing the bridge a short distance above the town, he jumped from the train on the Clearfield county side of the Moshanon creek, and retraced his steps, passing through Chester Hill borough, and went to Hank Run, where he informed his friends what he had done. From there he returned to Philipsburg, went to the hospital to see his wife and was subsequently arrested. He was taken to Ballefonte and committed to lil Monday morning. LEFT HIS GUN BEHIND.

He waited until the car came past and jumping aboard discovered four or five young men crouching in the corners.

NO OFFICIAL INF0EMATI0N Private Advices, However, Are Thai the British Cabinet Will Do Noth ins for Silver The Dank of Eng land's Position. London, Oct. 19. The United States Monetary Commissioners have received no official Information regarding the action by the British Cabinet on Saturday last. Private advices, how ever, convince them that the Cabinet has dealt the deathblow to their mission.

It is expected the Commissioners will shortly be informed that Her Ma jesty's Government regrets being unable to accede to their proposals, but is willing to listen to any other plan they may suggest. Butboth parties to the conference know that no other, practi cal scheme can be advanced. In the event of the expected reply be ing received the United States Commis sioners will return to the United States. It is learned that the only thing the Cabinet officially discussed in connec tion with the currency question on Sat urday was Sir James "Wcstland's re port. Sir James is head of the Finan 2ial Department of India, and his vol uminous report took the strongest grounds against reopening the mints, The afternoon papers yesterday echo the opinions of the morning newspapers in congratulating the Government upon "finally disposing of the bimetal lie scare" and expressing regret that it should "ever even have seemed to re support in high quarters." Mr.

Hugh C. Smith, governor of the Bank of England, said yesterday: "The bank is a private company without any Government control, and Is not responsible to the Government except in the terms of its charter. The Government cannot issue any orders relative to the bank's reserves. At the same time, the Government is the bank's best customer, and the Court of Governors, being composed of iaw abiding citizens, whenever the Govern ment makes a request we do our best to comply. The Government must be presumed to know what is best for the country.

"The press has been filled with mis statements. The Government wrote asking if the bank was willing to re new its offer, made at the Paris mono tary conference in 1881, regarding its reserve. I replied in the same tenor as the memorandum which the bank sent to that conference, though more guardedly. That is all that happened. The statement that the bank has been co quetting with the American commis sioners is pure rubbish.

Excepting what I have read in the papers, I have never heard of those gentlemen." The United States Commissioners be lieve their failure means that no urth- effort in behalf of bimetallism will be made for many years to come. They attribute the failure to the opposition of the bankers and of the London rimes. Until these forces were aroused ill signs pointed to the co-operation of the British Government. FIANCEE WILl DEFEND HIM. Heady to Spend $10,000 to Prove Ell Shaw Innocent, Camden, Oct.

19. Whether young Eli Shaw is guilty or innocent if the murder of his mother and grand mother, at all events hfs fiancee's mon- will defend him from the awful Assemblyman Henry S. Scovel has stepped into the case as Shaw's ounsel. From a friend of his fiancee's family comes this information: 'The Neilsons are ready to spend (10,000 to prove Shaw's innocence." The young woman whom Shaw had expected to marry next month was Miss Maibelle Neilson, of Woodbury, worth $8,000 or more in her own right. Her mother, too, was left in comforta ble circumstances.

Mr. Scovel is a son of Col. Scovel, who has cleared no less than three men accused of murder in the first degree. The police have declared that Eli wanted to get his mother's share of his grandmother's estate, with which to begin housekeeping. From the Neil-sons it was learned that Miss Nellson's mother had given the young people a pretty house in Carteret street and waa furnishing it completely.

Oct. 19. The State Department has received a cablegram from the United States Charge d'Af- ires at Guatemala City, stating that jwing to the extension of the present evolutionary movement into the east ern portion of Guatemala, American in- eiests in that section and American itizer.s are endangered, and the presr of a warship is desirable. Accordingly, the Secretary qf the NTavy has sent orders to the U. S.

TO PETITION WASHINGTON Think Life and Property Will More Secure Under tlie Stars and Stripes than In an Island Rrpub lie Sagasta's Plan. Matanzas, Cuba, via Key West, Fla pet.

19. The business element here, in Havana and elsewhere seem to have concluded that the Madrid Government cannot end the war by granting auton omy to Cuba, as among the autono mists who are loyalists there are not sufficient persons to hold public office. At least, that is the claim the conserva tive Spaniards make. In addition, the latter say that the autonomists, even 11 they were placed In power, would not be able to preserve peace and protect life and property from the lawless ele ments. In view of this state of affairsva num ber of important mercnants and sugar planters of Spanish origin, in conjunc tion with several Cubans of promi nence, have been holding secret meet ings, and have been corresponding with people In various parts of the island with the object of ascertaining the views of the commercial and p'anting community in Plnar del Rio, Havana Matanzas and Santa Clara as to the future for Cuba, most likely to further their interests and those of the islano in general.

It is expected that the majority of the replies received will be favorable to annexation to the United States, as the Washington Government alone apparently is able to guarantee peace and the protection of life and property. As soon as it Is ascertained that the sentiment of the persons appealed to is in favor of annexation a committee will be sent to the United States with instructions to lay the case of Cuba before business men of prominence and ask the latter to unite with the business men of Cuba in a petition to the Washington Government for an nexation. The failure of the conserva tives to supffress the insurrection by force of arms, and the impossibility of the liberals ending the war by estab ilshing an autonomous form of govern ment will be pointed out. The plan of Premier Sagasta to give autonomy to Cuba, far from giving sat isfaction here, has greatly Increased the feeling of discontent. The autono mist party, it is pointed out.

exists onlv In name, the actual majority of the au tonomists being in the insurgent ranks. and, with the exception possibly of Senor Montoro and a few others, the masses of that party are in sympathy with the insurgents. Consequently the Spanish Government, which has con sulted Senor Montoro on the subject, is finding great difficulty in obtaining even the suggestion of names of au tonomists to fill offices. It would be imprudent, it is added, to give such of fices to the party known as reformists, as the more Influential Spaniards hate them, and the adoption of such a policy would mean rioting and even worse; besides, the masses of the resident Spaniards are strongly anti-autonomists, and there is little or no prospect of making them change their minds. Recognizing the difficulty of the task before Senor Sagasta, it is not regarded as astonishing that the business com munity in Cuba is exchanging views on the subject of annexation to the United States, especially as a general uprising qf the Spanish elements is feared if the Spanish Government persists in push ing its autonomist policy, business men believing that autonomy is only the first step towards independence, and the feeling of the commercial classes being that annexation and the conse quent safeguards to life and property far preferable to the establishment ol a new republic in Cuba.

Henry B. Tucker, of Troy, Dies on His Way to the Gold Fields. Troy, Oct. 19. Henry B.

Tucker, son of Henry O'Reilly Tucker, proprietor of the Troy Press, is a victim of the Klon dike fever. Word was received in this city yesterday of Mr. Tucker's death on Sept. 11 at Mlnooc Creek, Alaska. While following the trail near Rampart City with several companions Mr.

Tucker was taken ill. The little party spent two nights and days in the woods, and then turned back towards Rampart City. They had not gone far before Mr. Tucker fell from exhaustion. When picked up by his companions a few mo mentslater he was dead.

Tucker was only 25 years old, and was one of the best-known and most popular young men in Troy. He was graduated from Yale College in the class of '94, and soon afterward became assistant to his father in the conduct of tho Troy Press. When the news of the Klondike gold discoveries reached Troy he was fired with an ambition to try his fortune in that region, and on July 27 left for the West. On Aug. 5 he sailed for Alaska, and on Aug.

18 he sailed up the Yukon on the steamer St. Michael, purchased by him and sixty others. It is believed by his many friends here that Mr. Tucker was murdered for his money. He carried a large sum with him, and it is supposed that he excited the cupidity of the desperately hard-up miners, who attacked and killed him for gain.

The remains will be brought here for burial. THE LOSS OF THE TRITON. Estimated that Not Less Than ISO Were Drowned. Havana, Cuba, Oct. 19.
