The Deadlock Must be Broken and the

WASHINGTON, April THE statement
contained in the numerous dispatches
from here that the President may decide
TO revive the ancient custom and 90 Ia
person to the Senate TO break the dead
lock, is all bosh. There is no necessity
for the President to resort to any ex-
treme or even ancient measures to
break the deadlock. He is embarrassed
by the situation, and would like to have
the nominations confirmed, but, in ac-
cordance with his expressed opinion, he
has hesitated 10 advise the Senate what
il ought to do. He has, in short, not
interiered, and naturally has hoped to
see his party win. Now thatlthe Demo
Gratis appear so determined to stand on
the ground that their party is not suffer.
ing because of the deadlock, it is be.
lieyed that the President will ask his
friends in the Senate 10 go into execu-
tive business, il the present situation
continues much longer. The President
has supporters enough in the Senate TO
execute his wishes when he chooses to
express them, and say the deadlock
must be broken.

MISTAKEN MURDERERs.
The Wrong Man Lynched by Call
fornia Crowd.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 7.-Dispatches
received from Santa Barbara to-day IN
dicate that a terrible mistake has been
made by a maddened mob OF lynchers.
Francisco Jamino, the Mexican shep
herd arrested on suspicion ot ravishlhg
and numbering Mrs. Sargent, was yes
terday taken by the citizens alter the
induest and hung by the neck Tor lew
sec mis-.
On being taken down he said another
man had committed the crime, but ne
saw il and as it was done near the caoin,
TO divert suspicion from himself, he put
rope round the neck OF the deceased
and dragged her to the place where
iound. He went over the ground with
the citizens, also dug up the club with
which the murder was committed, ano
produced some article taken from the
murdered woman.
His stories as to the perpetrator were
SO conflicting that the citizens consld-
cred his guilt beyond doubt and hung
him TO a tree. Many citizens who were
satisfied OF FranCiScO's innocence pro-
tested strongly against his execution,
but the mob, misled by his confused
statements, insisted on his guilt and
hanged him as stated.
Evidence hos now accumulated show
ing that 1t was impossible for Francisco
10 commit the crime, but that his own
brother, Ohienio Jamino, older than
Francisco, was guilty OF the terrible deed
and maintained sinful silence, while
his innocent brother was murdered
rather than betray him.
Doubly angered by this discovery, the
excited citizens are now searching Tor
Ohienio, provided with ropes, and are
louI in their threats to hang him to the
nearest tree when caught.
Francisco, the youth who was lynched
Yesterday, was only eighteen years old,
and had never sustained a reputation
that would justify his awful fate. -,
Mrs. Sargent, the victim OF the terrible
crime, was handsome young married
lady, only twenty years of age, and the
wife OF respectable and well-known cit
