He told conflicting stories. about
another man who had committed
the deed, but refused to give
any name. The proof of his guilt
was considered overwhelming and
the citizens strung him up to the
limb of the tree. The body was
left hanging until yesterday after
noon. Mrs. Sargent was about
twenty years Of age, the murderer
was about sixteen. His name is
Francisco Jimeno. Public senti-
ment throughout the county fully
justifies the hanging of the MUIR

WASHINGTON, April SIN the
Senate, pending business, q resolu-
ton for the selection OF officers Of
the Senate was taken up on a mo-
Jon for an executive session.
Mcpherson desired to present
petitions. Hoar objected,
MCPHERSON thought it a strange
proceeding to deny the right of pc.

terfere. Did Hoar still object?
Hoar-The Senate desires to elect
officers to record all business. As
soon as that Is done, the petition
can be received. The minority
were trying to unconstitutionally
suppress the voice of the majority.
Mcpherson believed that the
rights OF the minority were pro.
tected by the Constitution.
The Vice-President ruled the Pc
tition out of order.
MCPHERSON said he would call up
the petition Tomorrow to enable
Hoar to state his reasons to the
country for opposing to do Justice
to an Irish.American citizen held
In an English prison. He must
justify himself to the country for
saying that Gorham and Riddel.
berger must first be elected.
Hoar said that the pretense that
delay was due to Republicans was
the sheerest piece of humbuggery
and demagoguery.
Salisbury said he would be ready
to vote to-day.
Mcpherson ridiculed the idea that
there was no recording officer Of
the Senate.
Hoar said that the State Depart.
ment was already considering the
matter OF the petition.

Star d Herald of Panama says: A
war of races has broken out in the
Valley of Contente. where more than
1000 Chinamen have been barba-
nously murdered by negroes aud
cholos. On one plantation six
hundred inoffensive MongoIians
were murdered in cold blood by
the negroes. All cane fields, sugar
house machinery, etc., have
been burned, and property the value
Of millions has been wrecked. All
foreigners have fled from the val.
ley, which is the most fertile and
productive in Peru. Some foreign-
ers were killed. The work of plum
der is going on and it ia feared that
the adjacent valley Of Chinca will
suffer next. Chileans refuse to
send troops to quell the disturbance.
Henry Swayne Is heavy loser. A
number of women and children
sought refuge on board Y couple of
vessels at Cervoazul, and Swayne
has chartered one of the
steamers to bring the refugees
to Callao. 1t Is feared that simi-
lar scenes have been enacted
throughout Peru. Even II the
Chileans leave Lima foreigners

as the Chilean troops leave. All
plunderers caught are soundiy

Thus million dollars will be raised,
which Is the quota for the FIRST
month. The Chilean Government
has determined to collect O million
dollars per month for the expenses
of the army. The fifty gentlemen
named held meeting and some Of
them declared they would not pay.
As the penalty for non-payment is
the destruction of property worth
three times the amount, few ex-

Of those who have not paid by the
