LONDON, May 13.-The reception 10
Henry M. Stanley, in tho Guildhall to-
day was m enthusiastic affair. A dense
crowd thronged the approaches to the
building, and the appearance Of Mr.
Stanley was the signal for a tremendous
outburst OF cheering. The guests num-
bered two thousand. Tho Lord Mayor
presented to tho explorer a gold casket
containing an address from the corpora-
ton Of London. h
Mr.. Stanley, in returning thanks for
himselfand for his companions said that
the Congo might have belonged to En-
gland, had Englishmen listened 10 his
lectures between 1878 and 1884. Bel
GUM was reaping one hundred per cent.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, May l3.-Word
was received here yesterday OF a White
Cap outrage which took place Monday
night Of last week in Wyoming county.
a band Of masked men called at the
house OF Sam Rhodes and awakened
him. On coming to the door he was
seized by the party, who gave him a

woman who was living at his house.
After this he was given n sound 1log.

sued for the arrest OF five men whom he
thought he recognized as members OF the
party, and they werc tried before Squire
Canterbury, They had no trouble in
proving that they were not in the party
of White Caps and were discharged.
Rhodes is very angry over the treatment
he received, and especially at what
brought it about. He claims that the
woman is hired by him to look after his
motherless children, and that no i'm.
proper relations exist between her and
himself. If!1

CHICAGO, May 13.-A dispatch from
Joliet, Ills, saya; There was another
great set.to in tho Baptist church last
night and It Is probably the final one, as
tho majority, who arc with the pastor,
made a wholesale suspension OF the op.
posing members, among whom are some
OF the most prominent men in town.
The pastors majority is increasing since
they received and baptized him anew
and resolved to blot out tho past.
The trouble arose over resolution
setting forth the grievances OF the oppo.
sition, that, contrary to the church laws,
members had been removed without
trial; that a large and respectable ele.
mcnt was not satisfied with tho finding
OF the Charlottetown trial, sustaining
tho charges against him, and that they
wanted 10 submit tho entire matter to u
council OF thirty Baptist ministers and
thirty laymen from sister churches.
The Church refused to grant tlr6 peti.
ton amid boisterous scenes, confusion
and unchristian language. The pastor
was accused OF putting gag on the op.
position when they were in the major.
lty last Sunday night by pronouncing
the benediction, and not entertaining a
motion for tho petition. 1t wus also
charged that the credentials Of the pastor
were forgeries.
The Rev. Whitman finally got orders
and told Mr.. Bush, Miss Bush and Mr..
Ross that he would give them the names
OF all who signed his credentials, and
they could write to SEQ II they were for
geries. Then the resolution suspending
a large batch Of active opponents was
read, and Brother Lull wanted the names
and charges. 10
The Rev. Whitman said It was too late.
Brother Lull ratified of some severe Ian.
puage, the substance Of which was that
il all those in Joliet were turned out by
the pastor it would not wash away his
Finally the Church voted to suspend
the opposing members.

Company.
Mcdonald was injured while employ.
ed In tho mines OF tho company BY be.
Ing struck in the head by cage which
was descending the main shalt OF the
colliery without his knowledge.
The case was decided in the Common
Pleas Court Of Huntington county, in
favor Of Mcdonald, on the ground that
the company had not provided sufficient
means for warning tbs mon. This deci-
sion is reversed by the Supreme Court.
Alter giving m elaborate review OF the
evidence Of the case, Judge Green says
that the testimony proves that when
arrived at the shaft tho cages
were running, that he knew they were
running, and might have inquired Of the
TACT in case Of his ignorance; that a car
was descending above him, from the
employe Of the company who stood few
Ieet away from him, and who gave the
signals for the descent OF the cages.
In conclusion, the Court says: 1--WE

Mr.. D. s. Jasper, Of Pierre, South Da.

Sioux Indians to confer MS to their res.

He says the Government never. did
anything wise iu lis treatment Of the
Indians, except to educate them. Lands
should not be held in seyeralty until the
Indians are educated. The greatest
trouble in the treatment Of Lo is from
unprincipled agents, who sell "painted

says. immoral women sent out as
teachers. The race is dying ont. The

lilo Murders n Constable nnd Is Swung Ur
for His Crime.
SANTA MARIA, CAL., May 13.-Furthe,
particulars from the scene OF yesterdays
lynching state that the house where
Griswell was confined WINS q light struc.
ture covered with canvas. The lynchine
party, armed with Winchesters com.
PEELED tho surrender aud silence Of the
guards, threw blankets over their heads
and detachments took them away. The
canvas ceiling was then torn away, q
rope thrown over the rafter and moose
slipped over Griswell's neck, He was
drawn up and strangled and the lynch
ers left.
Griswell was desperate character and
generally went armed. Last Wednesday
he had an encounter with Constable
Southard, in which he shot the consta.
bic, who died in few minutes, but not
until he had returned the fire, and was
supposed to have fatally wounded Girls
well. 1t was finally stated that G Griswell
might recover, and it was understood
that he reioiced over the killing OF
Southland and threatened to kill three
other citizens. This probably precipi-
tated the lyuching, which was threat
ened at the time OF Southarl's murder,
but was supposed to have been aban-
doned in view Of Griswell's dying con-
dition.

the strongest, pledged to vote for a re-.
peal or modification OF tho law. The
particular clause aimed at is the one re.
quiring that all the common branches be
taught in the English language and this
is the one which the church desires to
have stricken out. The Lutheraus are
almost all Republicans. but in this they
expect the aid OF the German Catholics,
who are largely Democrats. and between

BU7LHR'S BIG BOAST
About Releasing the .lmp1ils soned
Chicago Anarchists
ON AWRlToF HABEAs CORPUS
Tho Massachusetts Lawyer Claims
That They Can be Liberated Ac-
4 cording to n Recent Decision
ofthc U. s. supreme Court. l

CHICAGO, May l3.-preparations hayt
been made to attempt 10 secure the re-
lease from the penitentiary Of the con.
victed Anarchists Fielden, Schwab and
Neebe by method heretofore not
hinted In the case. In short time an
application will DO made to Judge
Gresham for writ Of 4ubeas corpns on
the ground that the prisoners are de-.
tanned without due process OF law. No
less an authority than Gen. Benjamin +.
Butler says that tho effort will almos.
beyond doubt be successful, the opin.
ion being based on the expressions Of
the United States Supreme Court in the
proceedings heretofore brought before
that body. "Ben" is regularly re.
tanned associate counsel in the case.
The Anarchist lawyers say that the
writ OF habcas corpus will be asked for on
the ground that aftex the gentence OF.
death was passed upon the condemned
Anarchists and Neebe was doomed TO
spend fifteen years in tho peniteutiary,
the case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, where the finding Of the lower
court, with the sentence OF death for
Spies, Parsons. Ling, Fischer, Enpel,
Schwab and Fielden wns affirmed, the
prisoners were not taken before the Su.
preme Court to hear this affirmation OF
their sentences and their lawyers were
not even notified to be present. The
claim was made that this was breach
OF constitutional rights, aud that the con.
strsltion even goes 70 far as to Say that
a sentence Of death rendered in the ab.
sence Of the prisoners was nota due pro-
cess oi law.
General Butler writes under date OF
May 10: ~
after having sufficient examination
Of the record in the case OF Fielden, ] |
have come fully to the conclusion tha.
such action is erroneous, in that it was
an attempt to take his life without due
process of law. l therefore advise very
strongly your taking writ OF error to
have such procedure corrected by the
Judgment OF the Supreme Court OF the
United States, ifany technical objections
are made to the Circuit Court for writ
Of hateas corpus for Fielden, because uu-
der that writ the facts as we'll as the law
can be discussed, and forms are OF no
consequence when they stand in the way
OF due course OF justice.
"Of course the decision OF these ques.
tions relieve any Of his fellows who are
suffering from the same errors il decided
as it is believed they must be, save the
men whose lives have been taken with.
out due process of law"
