CONGRESS WAKING UP.
The Slaughter In the Neutral Strip Arouses
Congress to a National Disgrace.

Congress to a National Disgrace.
WASHINGTON, July 81. = The recent
troubles in Stevens County, Kan, ending
in murder in No-Man's- Land, have aroused
some more of the apathetic Congressman
to the fact that at least one section of the
country is devoid of law. Many of the
opponents of the proposed legislation con-
corning No-Man's-Land now concede that
Congress ought to do something to place
that territory under the jurisdiction of
courts at law. Representative Peters, OF
Kansas, whose district includes Stevens
County and borders on No-Man's-Land,
has received from Governor Martin an off,
cial statement as to the recent outrages
upon law and order and an appeal for
Congressional action. 1t is probable that
the other members of the Kansas delega-
ton will receive similar communications.
Many of Congressman Peters constituents
along the Indian Territory border ara also
appealing for legislation which will place
No-Man's-Land under authority of law.
Two bills, either of which would effect
the necessary relief, are now before Con-
gress. One is the Springer bill. creating
the Territory of Oklahoma. 1t includes
Oklahoma, the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Reservation, the Cherokee Strip, No-Man's
Land and portions of several small reser-
vations- Under the provisions of the bill
the Indians and finally adjust all treaties
relating to the lands involved. A terri
toriGl form of government would then be
extended over the country, and the laws Of
the United States could then be enforced
by the courts.
The other bill is the No-Man's-L Land bill
introduced in the Senate by Mr.. Voorhees,.
1t passed the Senate some time ago, and is
now before the House, reported faVorably
from Mr., Holman's Committee on Public
Lands. 1t attaches No-Man's- Land to the
State for judicial purposes, and throws tho
lands open to settlers under the Home
stead law. No Man's-Land and the three
adjoining counties of Seward, Stevens and
Morton, in Kansas, it is provided shall
constitute a now land district. Mr..
Springer's bill has been before the House
upon two occasions recently and FIVE Sec
tions of the measure have been adopted.
1t is now on the calendar unfinished
business before the Committee of the
Whole House and is likely to come up
again in a few days. The advocates of
each measure have renew ed their solicita-
tions to the members Of the House to pass
1t as early as possible.
The two measures are somewhat antag-
onistic, however, inasmuch that the pas
sage of one means the uselessness and
consequent defeat of the other. No-Man's-
Land now seems to be the principal argu-
ment in favor of each measure, and the
recent trouble in that section of the Terri
tory only adds to it's force. Unless the
friends of the respective measures become
involved in a bitter fight for the suprem-
acy, it now seems probable that Congress
will give No-Man ISLAND the legislation it
requires in the form of one of the two
bills.

Race for Governor OF Indiana

Ex-Governor Porter Declines To 11akG the
Race for Governor of Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 30.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Porter's withdrawal from the Cub
ernatorial contest was the absorbing topic
about political headquarters and in the
hotel Hobbies yesterday. 1t was wholly
unexpected and came with such surprise
at moment when the local primaries were
overwhelmingly in his favor that nearly
every political clique was inclined to az
tribute different causes as prompting the
withdrawal The following is Governor
Porter's letter on the subject to State Sem
ator Henry u. Johnson, of Richmond:
INDIANAPOIIS, July 2S-My Dear Sir: Tho
pressure of many engagements has delayed my
reply to your letter. At the conference OF the
Lincoln League clubs in February last, stated
In u public speech that 1 would not be q candi-
date before the Republican State convention
for nomination for the of1ce OF Governor,
and that my name would not be presented TO
the convention. Several gentlemen were pres
emit who were understood TO desire the nonina-
ton. and the declaration was properly inter
pretcd by Them being in the nature OF
pledge that would not stand in their way
have never since said that I would
be candi ate. but, on the con-
trary. have stated to many persons that
would not. The Partially of friends
has recently, notwithstanding these declara-
tons, SO strongly evinced itself in favor OF my
being nominated that feel il 10 be incumbent
upon me, in reply to your letter TO renew the
statement and 10 give you authority 10 make II
public that I shall not be a candidate before
the convention. and am obliged TO add that
could not accept a nomination even were II
rendered. 1 have taken an active part in every
Republican campaign since the Republican
party was organized except one, which oc-
CURED while I was no ding ONCE al Washing
ton. After this long service the State conven-
ton will, am sure. refrain from pressing upon
a candidacy to which I would be averse
and which 1 should feel obliged to decline. But
while shall not be a candidate shall not be
Indifferent TO the success OF the Republican
party, nor shall my voice be silent in the i'm
portant campaign in which it is about TO enter
From the time the campaign shall begin until
II shall have closed, by every EFFORT that can
bestow, 1 shall give whatever aid am able TO
secure the triumph OF the Republican National
ticket and the success OF the candidates who
shall be nominated al the State convention.
Yours sincerely, A. G. PORTER

The Shooting of "a CoIored Man Excites
Other Topeka Negroes.
TOPEKA, July 51.-The marshal of Wa
mego brought in yesterday afternoon a
negro named Grimes, arrested under sus-
picion of being the one who committed an
assault upon the fourteen year-old child
of White, farmer some six miles from the
city. He was released later on, not an
swering the description and also proving
an alibi. In the evening White and
his nephew, Snyder, while on the
corner of Sixth and Quincy, met
three colored men, one of whom, Ramsay,
he charged with being the man who one
week ago Sunday attempted to pull Mrs.
White from buggy for the purpose of as
saulting her. White demanded that he
stand still while some one could he sent for
to identify him. Ramsey started TO run,
when Snyder began firing at him. In all
five shots were fired, one ball striking him
back of the ear, when he fell. The man
was carried to a physicians Office, who
thinks the wound not fatal. White and
Snyder were arrested and confined. The
negroes were excited, and some of them,
armed, began making threats.

The Federation of Labor Plan.

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-The bill intro
duced by Senator Blair at the request of
the Federation of Labor to amend the law
prohibiting the importation of foreigners
under contract makes anumber of minor
changes in the phraseology of the law as
we'll as one or two changes of q somewhat
important character. The first section
which makes it unlawful to assist ''the
importation Of Foreigners into this
country, under agreement or con-
tract to perform labor is amended by
making the paragraph read: 'The impor-
tation of any alien or foreign laborer, me-
chanlc, artist or artisan, under agreement
to perform labor" Another amendment
does away with the provisions authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury to enter into
contract with State Commissions to take
charge of the execution of the provisions
of the act within the boundaries of their
respective States and designates the col
lectors of customs at the various ports OF
the United States the persons upon
whom shall devolve the duties heretofore
authorized to be intrusted to State Com

StanIey's Whereabouts.

LONDON, July 30.-The whereabouts and
condition of Henry NJ. Stanley are rapidly
becoming the questions OF the hour, OWN g
to the multiplication of rumors concerning
the mysterious 'Ewhite pasha," who it is
claimed by many is really Stanley, coupled
with the absence of definite news. 1t is
now quite year since Stanley has been
heard from directly, and the most proba-
BILE of the theories put forth concerning
him is the one that he failed to meet Emin
and that both are in pressing need of help.
1t is not likely that either Stanley or Emin
would engage in a march of conquest
against Nhalifia Abdullah, the new Mahdi,
without being adequately supplied, and il
known that neither is so equipped,

A NEBRASKA LYNCHING.

Fremont Emmons Lynched for the Murder
of Bertha Schultz-His Last Words u
Temperance Lecture.
PAwNEE CITY, Neb., Aug. 1.-Fremont
Emmons, the murderer of Bertha Schultz,
was brought here from Beatrice Monday
for preliminary examination and bound
over to the district court. His presence
caused great excitement and about mid
night crowd began to gather, determined
to lynch him. He was concealed in the
third story Of the court house, but the
crowd soon discovered his hiding place
and took him away from the officials by
force. A rope was placed around his neck
and he was led through the public streets
to the high Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska
trestle over the Burlington & Missouri
track. Arriving there the citizens asked
that Emmons should be identified as tho
party wanted. The Identification was COM
plete and he was given opportunity to
make statement. He gave the history of
his life for the past two years, in which he
claimed to have been Christian, but had
lately fallen from grace. He admonished
the young men to reform from the habit of
using strong drink. He also stated that
he had been disappointed in love and that
Miss Schultz had circulated false reportc
in regard to him. He maintained that he
knew nothing about committing the muir
and that if he would pray for him, after
which he asked to pray for himself. In
his prayer he asked God to forgive him for
committing the murder and that God would
forgive all those who were implicated in
Furnishing him if they were guilty of any
sin.
The doomed man then took several steps
further out on the trestle and his arms be-
ing tied behind him and his legs free he
was told to jump. The rope was fastened
to a cross tie on the wagon roadway and
Emmons jumped about thirteen feet and
died without struggle.
About seven O'Clock last Thursday even
ing Emmons who was second cook at the
Exchange Hotel deliberately went into the
back yard where Bertha Schultz, cham
bermaid, was hanging out clothes, grasped
her by the right arm, pulled her half
around and thrust knife into her left
breast with such force that the blow was
heard by passers by quite distance away.
When he withdrew the knife, the girl
screamed, took few steps and fell dead.
The murderer was arrested and later taken
to Beatrice to prevent the enraged citizens
lynching him. The weapon used was a
shoe knife, which he had sharpened for the
purpose. He had asked the girl to marry
him, but she had refused. Emmons was
good looking, intelligent man, aged about
twenty Ave years. He was at one time
Methodiss evangelist.
