W. Evans Aoou,ttad.

The case of the state of Kansas VS..
William II. Evans, charged with the
murder of J. N. Williams, city mar
shall of Usage City, was put upon trial
in the district court on Thursday
morning, the 18th inst, and resulted
in verdict of mot guilty. at six
o'clock p. m. on Monday, the 10th inst.
The prosecution was conducted by H.
B. Highlands, county attorney, assis-
ted by B. F. Hendrix and Nc
Connel s. Hay. The defense was con-
Quoted by Ellis Lewis. The states
case in chief was produced and proven
in clear, concise and conclusive man
ner. The plea of the accused was that
of self-defense. Forty witnesses were
examined. Fourteen for che state and
twenty six for the defense. The de-
Tense, as lawyers put it, admitted the
states facts and avoided them with a
justification. There were two points in
the testimony of the defense that it
does not seem possible to have over
come. One was the violent threats by
Williams, proven by more than twenty
witnesses, and the other was that Will
liams sought some pretense on which
to arrest Evans for a pretext for
killing him, proven by number of cred
ible witnesses. The quarrel underlying
this very sad and deplorable affair arose
out of a watch trade about three weeks
before the killing, in which Williams
claims to have been swindled by Evans
and for which Evans refused to make
peraration. The case was ably argued
pro and con, and we doubt if different
issue was possible.-Osage Pree Press.

Owing to condition net anticipated

Owing to a condition not anticipated
by the lawmakers of the state when
they fixed the time for the Inauguration
of state officers and the assembling of
the legislature, the coming legislature
will be convened six days before the
inauguration of the state officers elect.
The statute says that state officers
shall assume charge of their duties on
the second Monday of the January fol-
lowing their election. and that the leg
islatuTe convene on the second Tues
day in January subsequent to their
election. Naturally enough it would
be supposed that the legislature would
always convene the day following the
inauguration of the state officers. The
legislature intended that it should be
so. but it will not be the case this time
The first day of January, 1889, comes
on Tuesday. The second Tuesday, or
the day on which the statue says that
the legislature shall convene, will be
the Sth. The first Monday, however,
will be the 9TH. and the second Mon
day the 14th, or six days after the legis-
lature has been in session. This is the
secondtime since Kansas became state
that this has occurred. Through this
technicality the present outgoing state
officers will gain about week upoI
their term of Offices.

from the Stanley expedition. a portion of
which, according to the c~ouriers, was met at
the end of November, 1887, by Arab trades
at a point west of the Albert Nyanzl, and
southeast of the Sanga. TIE detachment
of the expedition seen consisted Of thirty
men, whose leader stated that Stanley
was two days ahead. Many Of the expclt-
ton, it was stated, had disappeared or We're

had fought with tribes which had refused 10

fever and compelled to halt. When the
c~ouriers left the expedition Stanley was well.

and then proceed eastward to Wsdelai. q

Republican Business Men.


NEW YoRK, NOV. s.-The great Republican
parade began lis line ofmarch this afternoon,
as arranged, faom Wall street, and passed up
Broadway and Fifth avenue 10 the reviewing
stand in Madison square, where LeviP. Nor
ton and other prominent men were waiting
The streets we're lined with immense crowds,
who greeted the different organizations from
the exchanges and the representatives OF the
various trades with continuous cheers. One
remarkable feature of the parade was the
great number OF distinguished persons who
participated. A string ofl2 horses drawing
atrack with a steamer model representing
the Dolphin and accompanied by IS men in
seamen's uniform, attracted much attention.
1t rained slightly during the time of the
parade. An estimate Of the number in the
procession, which is generally considered
probable, put j, at about 5O,00o. Among
those who paraded were ex-Chief Justice
Noah Davis. ex-Seeretary Bristow, Chauncey
NJ. Depew, Secretary Eyarts, VIM. Dowd,
James Seligman and Donald Mckay.
The feature OF the entire procession was
the marching and eTolutions OF the Pitts
burg contingent. The members ofthat body
opened and closed their red, white and blue
silk umbrellas at frequent intervals and
twirled them in unison at the word of com
mand. The gaudy national colon thus dis
played formed a beautiful picture. and the
Pittsburgers were heartily applauded.
The parade was the grandest aud in point
ofnumbers the largest demonstration of the
present campaign. When the various organi-
cations fell into their places in the line of
procession il was said by competent judges to
be fully ten miles in length.

consequently be detrimental to the relations

this action are set forth in a report from the
Secretary Of State to the President dated the
10Th inst. This report not only sets forth
the offensiveness of the conduct ofthe British
Minister. oat calls attention to the severe
penalties visited by law upon citizens of the
United States guilty of such offences as that
committed By the writer OF the "Murchison'
letter, and which are equally applicable to
every citizen who "~coansels, advises OF
assists in any such correspondence" The
report further says that the attention of the
British Government having, in a spirit Of
comfy. been called to the conduct Of its
Minister without result, ait, therefore, be-

the Buried Mantle oke Miners,

WrLKEsBARRE, Pa. Nov. 5--The cases O
the twenty-six miners buried in No. ] slope
of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, by tbs
disaster at Nantieoke nearly three years ago
were argued before Judge Rice in chambers
to-day. The attorney for the company
argued at length that all had been done that
could be done, and that it was found by
competent engineers and miners that it Is
physical impossibility to have the bodies re
moved from the pit. The attorneys for thu
relatives claim that it could be done, and
offered 10 have the work accomplished, re-
lieving the company from any blame or re-
sponsibiliiy in case Of any accident. The
Judge heard both sides patiently and then
took the papers. He announced that he
would dispose of the same promptly.
