New York Paper.
Yes, give him a sepulchre broad
| as the sweep
Of the tidal waves measure
| less motion;
Lay the hero to sleep in the
arms of the deep,
For his heart was as free as
the ocean.
1t was liberty alain that mad
dened his brain,
To avenge the dead idol he
cherished;
So tits meet that the main, never
curled by a chain,
Should entomb the last fill
man, now perished.
For the dust of the brave could
not rest in the grave
Of a land where blind force
hath dominion;
But the step of a slave never
soils the proud wave
Which spurneth the hamper
and pinion.
He who dared break the rod of
a blackamoor's god,
All the hosts of the despots
defying,
May not rest in the sod, by a
nations feet trod,
That he shamed with his
glory in dying.
In the blue waters hide the pas
sion and pride,
That could break not the cup
of communion
Filled with blood from the side
of Freedom the bride
Nevermore of a parricide
Union.
AS the ocean streams roll from
the Gulf to the pole,
Let them mourn him with
musical surges;
And the tempest bell toll for the
peace of a soul,
More sublime than the sound
of its dirges.
He hath written his name, in |
letters of flame,
Der the pathway to Libertys
portal;
And the serfs that blame shall
crimson with shame,
To learn that they've cnrsed
an immortal.
He died for the veal of a world |
meath the heel
Of too many a merciless Nero;
But while there is steel, every |
tyrant shall feel,
That Gods vengeance but |
waits for its hero.
Then give him a sepulchre |
broad as the sweep
OF the tidal waves measure
less motion:
Lay our Brutus to sleep in the |
arms of the deep
For his heart was as grand as |
the ocean.

A Naneless Heroine.
chicago Herald.


A lady residing in Buffalo has
shattered all the traditions upon
at least one subject and at the
same time earned for herself a
niche in the temple Of fame.
Unfortunately the local chroni-
cler has not given her name,
and until the omission is recti-
fled the niche must remain un-
occupied. This woman, in whose
veins must run Spartan blood,
had just put on her gloves 10 so
out calling when a mouse ran
across the room. She gave
chase, but il lodged ana doubled
and ran between her feet. Then
she lost sight of it. She locke
carefully about for q moment
or two, and thea concluding it
had escaped she went out to
make a call. In the midst of y
vivacious conversation she felt
something moving in her dress
and immedia ely bethought ner
il was the mouse. Did she rise
and shake herself! No. Did
she scream and jump on the
chair! No. Did she fall over
in a fit? No. She simply nudged
the mouse to make il keep quiet
and went on with her rattling
gossip. When the call was over
she went home, shook her dress
vigorously and the mouse drop
ped out and ran for its life. But
the brave lady whacked il with
her umbrella and finished its

WAsniSGros, March 1.-THE su.
preme court to-day rendered u decision
in the interesting casegrowing out of the
acts OF the fifteenth session of the Idaho
legislature. The appellants alleged that
they declared the house of representa-.
tives adjourned at midnight, after ses-
sion Of sixty days, this being the limit
OF legislative session under the con-
gressional laws. They asserted that
some members of each house remained
behind, elected new presiding officers
and passed number of acts. They
sued to have these acts declared null
and void, and expunged from the rec
orls. The Idaho supreme court denied
the applications aud this court aifi rms

Company, had received u proposition To

THE CARLOAD CASES.
Decision of the Interstate
Commission.
AN UNJUST DSCRIMINAT ION.
The Classification of Articles OF
Commerce Ordered Revised
and Rates Regulated.

WAsHtSGroS, March l9.-Tho inter.
state commerce commission yesterday
decided the cuses again st the trunk lines
by j. h. Thurber and others, of New
York city, known as the carload
cases, la favor of the complainants.
Cs6mplaint was made Of too great differ.
cnces in the rate charges on carload and
less than carload quantities.
The following are extracts from the
decision: Carriers are not at liberty to
classify property as the basis OF trans.
portation rates and 10 impose charges
for its carriage with exclusive regard to
their own interests but must respect the
interests Of those who may have occa-
sion to employ their services, and
conform their charges to the rules OF
relative equality and justice, which the
act prcscfib,s. The cost of the service
IS an important element In fixing the
transportation charges, and is entitled
to u fair consideration, but the value of
the service to the property carried Is also
an essential factor TO be recognized In
connection with other considerations.
Public interests are not to be subordi-
mated 10 these of the ca rriers, and acquire
"a proper regard for the value of tho ser
vice In the appointment of all charges
upon traffic.
"a difference In rates upon carloads
and less than carloads on the same
merchandise between points OF
carriage are so wide as To
be destructive TO competition between
largo and small dealers, especially upon
articles of general and necessary use,
and which under the 1i sting conditions
of trade furnish large volume of busi-
ness tn the carriers, is unjust and yiu-
lates the provisions and principles ofthe
act.
The difference in the rate for solid
carload of one Kind of freight from one
consignOr to one consgnee, and q car.
load from the same point Of shipment to
tue same destination, consisting OF a like
character, from more than one con
signor to one consimec, or from one con
signor to moro than one Uonsignce. Is not
Justified 10y the dititpnce In the cost of
handling.
LAS under the official classification of
articles known In trnde the articles are
so classified as to discriminate tan Justly
in rates between carloads aud less than
n carload upon many articles, and n re-
vision OF the class ilicat ton and rates to
correct the unjust differences and give
rates of shipment more relatively reA-
sonable is necessary, such revision Is
ordered"
Commissioners Schoonmaker and
Bragg will hold u public session at New

pose of obtaining evidence in regard to

THE SIBERIAN OUTnAGEs.
The Report OF the Russian Onfoiais
CompiIed,

LONDON, March 13.-A Times st.
Petersburg dispatch says that the report
on the Siberian outrages has been OIL
cially compiled, but that 1t Is shown
only TO the privileged. The report
shows q considerable disagreement with
the accounts published In It's descriptio
and Interpretation OF the facts Of the
case.
The correspondent adds; THE admin
istrator Of prisons told mo that the
American delegates would mako great
mistake If they attempted to broach the
Siberian scandals at the international
prison congress. lie said that the pro-
gramme ofthe congress would be strictly
adhered TO, and no reference to political
prisoners In. Siberia or elsewhere would
be permitted.
An official, who was interviewed by
the correspondent regarding the report
Of the outrages, practically admitted
that the facts were as reported, but he
contended that Kennnn and others had
ethereallzed the nihllist women out of all
recognition in their books. The strug.
gle with the soldiers was provoked by
the prisoners drawing revolyefs and
wounding several of tho soldiers.

HE WAS SHOT TO DEATH
A Desperate Smuggler Killed
on Puget Sound.
He RESISTS A REVENUE OFFICER
A Graphic Account of the Cap
ture. the Shooting and the
Death.

SEATTLE, WASH, March l3.-Andrew
A. Holt, alias Andrew A. Anderson, q
famous smuggler and pirate ON Puget
sound for years, was fatally shot at Sal.
mon bay, Just north of this city late to-
night, while resisting arrest at the hands
of United States officers. Holt has beon
known to he smuggling Tor many
years. Two years ago he bought the
sloop Alaska, laid in cargo,
mainly composed OF whisky, and
went to Alaska TO trade with the In
dians. lie was not heard from for
about nine months, when he was
arrested and taken TO Sitka for selling
liquor to Indians. His sloop was con
fiscated and Holt was released OH LIS
own recognizancc. One stormy night
Holt stole the sloop from the govern
ment storehouse and disappeared. lie
made the voyage to Puget sound aIone in
u small sloop, In the worst storm ever
known on the coast, arriving hero about
fourteen months ago. Since then he has
kept in hiding near Port Blakely, where
his wife lives, on "A ranch, and In salmon
bay. ON the inland and shallow parts, or
Just north of the city. which he made
his base of smuggling operations from
Victoria.
Wednesday night the United States
officers arrested Michael Boyle, an
opium smuggler, and secured u clew to
Holts whereabouts.
Tonight Special Inspector Coblentz
and Local Inspector Thompson learned
that Holt was with his sloop In salmon
bay. Chartering the tug Mascot they
started out at O'Clock this evening
to capture him. When they reached
the mouth of Salmon bay they found
a.... Il q.
account of low water. The officers ac-
cordingly went in a small boat. Cob
lentz went aboard the sloop, but found
no one there, while Thompson patrollcd
the shore. Coblcntz then went ashore
and, after making a reconnoisancc, he
returned to the slUop, and not finding
Holt there, was ahOut to leave again,
when the stnugeler stepped aboard.
The officer covered him with re-
volver, and announcing his official ca
pacity, commanded him to surrender
Holt uttered an oath, drew back and
reached for his hip pocket. Coblentz
then fired one shot into the air
and Holt drew his revolver;
Coblentz immediate fired second
shot, which struck the smuggler in the
wrist followed by "a third shot, which
struck him in the stomach Just above
the nipple He fell to the deck and his
revolver dropped into the water. He
rallied again and was about TO rise when
the officer fired the fourth shot, which
also struck him, 1t is thought, in the
stomach. Holt then fell over uncons-
cious.
The sloop was then towed to the
sound and brought to this city by the
Mascot, arriving here shortly before
midnight. Holt was given the best
medical attention and removed to the
hospital but he will undoubtedly die
before morning. lie made statement
AT midnight, admitting that he at
tempted to kill the officer

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Peculiar Death OF = Young Man Near
Portland.

PORTLAND, Or, March i.-sylvester
Goddard, a young man employed ms
section hand on the Po-tland & Van
couver railroad, was instantly killed at
Rosedale this morning. A train from
the Columbia riqer was approaching
Rosedalc station. when the engineer saw
two men ON the track ahead, but before
the train came very near them they both
stepped from the track and entirely out
OF danger When the train came
to the men one suddenly stepped
to the track with crowbar
in his hand and commenced
doing something. The engine struck
the heavy iron bar, hurting 1t with ter
rifle force against the map's head, and
throwing him about fifteen feet from the
track. The train instantly stopped.
and when the man was picked up he
was dead, his neck having been broken.
A telegram sent to his father who lives
In Rogers, Benton county, Arkansas, az
quainting him with tile death OF his
son, and asking what disposition should
be made Of the remains. IL is evident
that Goddard threw tho cTowb.r in front
OF the engine, but wnat his object was
can not be surmisod. His death was
clearly the result of his own careless
ness and notthe slightest blame IS at
taChed to any one.

Reported Lost.

ASTORIA, March 13.-lhe steam
schooner George II. Chance. which be-
longed To the Portland Deep Sea Fishing
Company, which LETT here month ago
for short fishing cruise, Is reported lost.
The revenue cutter Corwin has gone
in search OF her. The Chance
was commanded by a new man, Captain
q. W. Adams. He was not an exper-
fenced skipper, and her engineer had no
sea experience, hence the mariners here
think the report of loss well founded.
The vessel carried a crew of fifteen men.
Manager Williams, ofthe company that
owned her, came down February
"a, expecting to meet the schoon-
er ON her return, but was
disappointed. lie expressed no pnrtlcu-
lar anxiety then, stating that the Chance
might stay out week or two longer.
The vessel was worth about $50, 900 ex.
