ing a mob of forty or more armed
men surrounded the residence of the
sheriff where the prisoners were un
der guard. The guard hearing them
rushed the prisoners out the back
door and into the basement of the new
school building. The sheriff was taken
prisoner by the mob and guarded. The
deputies, finding it useless to resist sur
rendered. The Weaver brothers defended
themselves in their struggle for life with
revolver which they had taken
from one OF the deputies, They
were finally overpowered by the mo,
and disarmed Ropes were placed about

WASHINGTON, D. C April 20-There is a
rumor that the president has be n making
one of those careful and laborious studies to
which he is given of the public land ques-

convinced of the vaStness of the land
frauds, of the misuse of the present land
laws for land grabbing by syndicates and
corporations. and of the necessity for a
thorough reform of both land laws and the

If there is moral turpitude, criminal
guilt or political error in the life or doc

Z" The Whole Town in Weeping Over the
Fate OF The Pets"

Adto VA the Ietb.
The above lugubrious lines were used
yesterday morning by the Oakland Times
as the heading to an article announcing
the result of the game played in this city
on Sunday between the Alta and Green
hood & Moran baseball clubs, and the
writer then goes on to his melancholy
work as follows:
1t was glorious day in Sacramento yes
terday. Old Sol sent down his rays with
mighty force, and the thermometer was
fast going up when the Oakland pets, at
the hour of l. NJ, set foot in the Capital
CITY, They were full of hope, they were
confident, and Van Haltren had made up
his mind to redeem himself He was in
perfect condition, as We're all the other

escorted to their hotel by the Alta club,
and at the hour of p. NJ. the Pets APP
peared upon the Sacramento diamond.
They were greeted with loud applause, and
many brilliant play was made before the
opening of the game. Manager Robinson
was in all his glory, for he had con-
fidence in his stanch little team,
fear Charley Sweeney. The zephyrs
sighed as the famous home nine were
called first to the bat, and were retired in
short order. When the Atlas came in for
their first inning, three runs were made on
errors, and the zephyrs sighed little
louder. About this time crow flew over
head and uttered loud, shrill Shrek,

garia and Eastern Roumelia, Bosnia and
Herzegovina gained any sort of indie
pendence frcgn Turkish domination. The
war left yhe first two independent, in a
sense, while Bosnia and Herzegovina were
placed under the protectorate Of Austria.
The advance of Russia into Bulgaria in
the near future is not at all improbable.
Whether Germany or Austria will now
draw the sword to prevent it is altogether
predetermined. Opinions Of European
statesmen on that point are about equally
divided. Austria would have the greater
provocation, Germany would not neces-
sarily have any, and present indications
are that she will not lighs the torch Of war

interests are best conserved, in purely
selfish view, by maintenance of the al

THE SEAT OF THE EASTERN TROUBLE.

With the eyentful happenings of the
past fortnight in Europe fresh in memory,
and the possibility of still more stirring
events in that quarter commanding large
share of public attention for some time to
come, there will be quickened inquiry con-
corning the Balkan States. This territory
lies-speaking in general way-between
the 10th meridian of longitude east from
Greenwich and the 30th, and the 18th and
I'D parallels of north latitude The Balkan
States are Herzegovina, Montenegro, Ser
via, Roumania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and
East Roumelia. Austria, Russia and
Turkey hem them in, while two great seas
wash the borders east and west. The en-
tire population is less than 100000,
and the area of territory 1927 square
miles. Bulgaria, the center of the present
dispute, is about the size of New Jersey.
The range of mountains known as the
Balkans stretches from the Black Sea
westwardly, and has been deemed barrier
to the disposition of Russia TO push south
ward. This range separates Bulgaria from
Eastern Roumelia, but the natural wall
has not always checked Russian advance.
nor is it likely that Russia will ever con-
sent to this typographical feature cutting
any figure in her mapping of the penin-
sula. Montenegro, Servia and Roumania
have ruling Princes limited in power by
organic acts.
Bulgaria has no Constitution in fact :;
the foundation upon which Alexander has
based his authority has in reality been
only compact between Bulgaria and Rus
STA, with the Turk as nominal party to
Its terms and permitted 10 exercise nomi-
nal suzerainty. Neither Turkey nor Rus
sia desire union formed between Bull
garia and any of the other States, and
both countries discourage any action that
looks to this end, while it is the fond hope
of Bulgarians that it may be brought
about. Indeed, the dream of the Slavic
patriot is that a great SIav union may be
effected, binding their States into an indis-
soluble compact. 1t was not until the
conclusion of the war of 1878 that Bull

CHICAGO, September 6th.-Ths annual
street parade in this city to-day was the
most noteworthy ever made by labor or
CARNATIONS of Chicago. The day was
warm but perfect in all other respects for
a street parade. The column began moving
at 1890 clock, and marching steadily was
nearly three hours in its passage. The COL

49,; hers =, Ia: .e al 53ttween $4,000 and S.
600. A feature in the parade was contained
in the remarkable uniformity shown by
each division of marchers, the latter being
equipped with canes, and generally wearing
SLOUGH hats of gray or dark color. All the
ladies marched by columns of fours well
closed up, and generally moving with great
precision and regularity. One column Of
500 employees of bank-safe manufacturers
wore white tiles. A column of Journey
men tailors, numbering 1000, wore white
Derbys, and presented probably the finest
appearance of any distinct body of march
ers. An American flag was carried by each
division. One of the trucks in the line car
ried the figure of a twenty foot giant stamp

of a Chinaman. In the procession was an
