A witness Tells How the Deed was Com.
mitted.
PARIS (Ill.), June 11th.-A jury in the
Cross murder case was impaneled thi:
evening. Herbert Tonney, the principal
witness for the Government, made state.
ment as follows: John M. Cross, Sheriff
OF Stevens county, Kansas, on July "a
1883, summoned Rollin Wilcox, Ted Eaton
Robert Herbert and himself to go with him
to No Mans Land to prevent some trouble
there. They went at once, and, on theil
failure to find the parties, started back
home.
On the night of July 25th they stopped
at hay camp nine miles from the Kansas
line, where they were surrounded about
midnight and compelled to surrender
After surrendering they were forced to hold
up their hands and be disarmed. When
their pistols were taken from them they
were all shot. Witness was shot through
the shoulder. and when conscious feigned
death, and when the attacking party salts
fed themselves that the Sheriff and posse
were all dead they went away. Witness
then got his horse and managed to reach a
settlement at noon the next day.
The news of the killing had already pre-
ceded him there, and party had gone
after the bodies of the murdered men.
Witness identified among the attacking
party G. E. Cook. F. M. Donald, o. j.
Cook, G. B. Chamberlain, J. w. Calvert,
Sam Robinson and Jos. Wrigley.
Before the cross-examination of the wit
ness was begun the Court adjourned till 8
o'clock tomorrow morning.

Such OF them as are caught by our cutters

scribed.
1t is reported modus uiuendi was pro.
posed by the British Government pending
the completion of the negotiations, but this
was refused by Blaine, and as Congress has
not chosen to change the law, it is the duty
of the President to enforce it. Practically
the modus rivendi would have been com.
mand from Salisbury to his "semi-depend-
ent, but irresponsible agent" Sir John
Macdonald, to prevent depredations by his
people on the fur bearing animals pending
negotiations, but this does not seem to have
occurred to Salisbury.
Senator Morgan, in an interview, main.
tains the right of our Government to pro-
tect the fur-seal in any part of Behring Sea.
The best naOdus eivendi with poacher is an

HEAVY FAILURE.
Too Much Speculation Forces a Tempo

Too Much Speculation Forces a Tempo
rary Suspension.
CHICAGO, June 11th.-The failure of
Robert Warren e. Co.. heavy English
house operating on the Board OF Trade
here, is officially announced. The firm is
heavily long on wheat, pork, lard and ribs
Warren, when asked as to the amount of
the Liabilities, said he did not know. His
money was tied up. but he hoped to pe
able to come out even. The announce
ment caused heavy break in articles dealt
in by the firm. Wheat dropped to sSc.
and mess pork to $11 rs when the firms
holdings were thrown on the market, but
they subsequently recovered. Warren &
Co. have been rated high, but recently
they have been specuiating heavily on the
wrong side. Its former business was chiefly
exporting hog products. The liabilities
are reported to be $500,OOO.
Warren was an individual operator, using
the firms name. He is said to have owned
one-third of all the cash wheat in Chicago,
as he has bought all along in the recent
drop in prices, the Bank of Montreal,
which is holding the wheat as security for
money advanced, is reported to have shut
down on him.
Warren, when interviewed this after
noon, made light of the matter. 1.-The
whole thing is Offset" said he. "Our as
sets cover our liabilities. Through an over
sight, the deposit of check was neglected
this morning. The matter has been bal
anced and our business will go on"

Resolutions Touching Their Attitude on
the School Question.
DUBUQUE Qa.). June 11th.-Lutheran
Synod, in session in this city, to-day adopt
ed unanimously long series of resoiu-
tions touching their attitude on the public
school question and compulsory education.
They refer to legislation of recent date
In several States, and say in part:
We consider public schools necessity on &C.
count of the conditions created BY the Consti.
tuition OF the United States especially in its re-
lation to the church. As American citizens we
are obliged and are willing to contribute to the
maintenance of public schools, although we
are thereby burdened more than other citizens
in also maintaining our own paro:hial schools
Establishing and maintenance of Christian
schools is with us a matter of con-
science, not considering the fact
that we wish to preserve for our
children, the precious blessing of the Ger
man language. instruction in this language
could not be given up if we bear in mind the
present state of our congregations. consisting
mostly OF recently fmmigrated members, If we
wish TO preserve our children for the Lutheran
Church. We protest against the use of public
school funds for parochial or private schools
We favor compulsory attendance at school IL
however, being left to the discretion of theii
parents to select the school to which they wish
to send their children. We are opposed TO com.
pulsory attendance, If thereby it is understood
TO be compulsory attendance at public schools
II they are not in accord with the spirit of the
Constitution OF the United States.

desirable, and instanced the condition OF

Robert Graham, who was introduced as
a representative of church movement in

National or State prohibition was neither
desirable nor feasible The total prohibi.

and fermented or distilled liquors, he said
would be an extreme lsw, and should have
an impi egnable basis. Prohibition, he
asserted, was not effective. He was in IA
vor of high license.
The next topic taken up was the battle
at Omaha the opening address being made
by Professor Cornwall, of aberdeen, 8. D.
This referred to the pending struggle in be-
half of the prohibition amendment in
Nebraska
The day was given up to the discussion
OF papers of kindred topics.
At the evening session Rev. DIR. Howard
Crosby denounced prohibition as untimely
and impracticable at the present time. He
favored high license. He urged unity OF
action in the temperance cause.

RumOrs that the VanderbiIts will Control

CHICAGO, June 11th.-Itis practically GER
tain that after the next annual meeting of
the Union Pacific the Vanderbilts will be in
control, and that President Hughitt OF the
Northwestern will be President of the en-
tire Union Pacific and Northwestern sys-
TENS.
Little by little enough facts have leaked
out to demonstrate that this contract be
tween the Union Pacific and the North
western was contract by Vanderbilt
with Vanderbilt, and has been simply a
test which has proved that the two systems
can be more economically operated as one.
None of the Northwestern officials will
talk for publication on the subject, but
manifest a knowledge that they all know
the change is coming. A remark made by
one of them to-day that the competing
roads should not object to their contract
with the Union Pacific lift covered the oper-

Austrian War Credits.

PEsTH, June 11th The Minister of War
has addressed the Austro- Hungarian dele
cations on the credits asked by the Gov
ernment for military purposes He said
that he regretted to be compelled TO declare
that the military credits submitted could
not be reduced. The budget specifications
only represented the foundations on which
the building must be continued during the
next few years. Important augmentations
OF the military forces of the empire, he
said, were becoming unavoidable The
question of raising the peace effective force
would have to be considered Other States
had studied the increase of their military
strength, and Austria-Hungary could not
remain inactive, although the Government
was not sble 10 strain lis resources to such
an extent as was being done by Germany
The demands contained in the budget were
the extreme minimum 10 which the Gov
ernment could go.
