Shot In The Back.

SPOKANE FALLS, July ia shoot
ing ARRAY occurred in the business Office
of the Morning Spokesman at 10 o'clock
this morning, in which Patsy MulIigan,
of Tacoma, and Jack Smith, of Australia,
were both shot by Billy Lynn. All the
participants in the affair are pugilists.
Mulligan came to this city two weeks
ago, accompanied by Smith, who is his
trainer, to arrange fight with Jimmy
Casey the well-known local bantam
weight.
Last night Mulligan posted 800 at
the Office of the Spokesman. Casey
covered the money, and this morning
the two principals, with their trainers,
met at the Spokesman Office to arrange
the fight. Lynn, who is a middle
weight, was present without invitation
and IN an ugly mood. He had been
talking about arranging a fight with
Mulligan, and said if there was going to
be any fighting he wanted some of it.
While the preliminaries were being dis
cussed, Lynn, who was standing behind
Mulligan's chair said:
eff you fellows are looking for fight,
why don't you fight me?"
Mulligan made some common place
remark not calculated to offend his ques-
toner. Then Lynn struck him, without
waiting 10 allow him to defend himself
Mulligan sprang out OF the chair, and
drawing his revolver, struck Lynn over
the head with the butt of the weapon.
Lynn was then elected from the room
and it was supposed he had gone away;
but he went around the building and
entered by the back door SO quietly that
no one in the room noticed him until he
lifted pistol at Mulligan and shot him
in the back. A second shot passed
through Smiths right hand and lodged
in his knee. Lynn then fed, but was
soon overtaken and captured, and lodged
in jail.
Smith and Mulligan were taken to the
hospital. The ball entered Mulligan's
body through the left shoulder blade
and lodged in the right lung. His re-
covery is considered impossible. Smiths
wounds are not serious.
Patsy Muliigan's real name is Andy
Stripger, and he was raised in Walla
Walla, where his parents now reside.
He has engaged in seventeen ring con-
tests, and never lost a battle, He is
about Il years old and well known in
the Sound cities and San Francisco. His
quiet, gertlemanlY manner has made
him many friends since he came here,
and his pupils are among the wealthiest
young men in the city.
Jack Smith is an Australian light mid
die weight, well known IN San Francisco.
Billy Lynn is about 36 years of age,
is an old-time prize-ighteF and tough,
we'll known in Montana. Idaho and West
ern Washington. He has engaged in
many ring fights, most of which he lost.
He came to this city first last spring,
looking for match with Jack Dempsey.
variety performer, and got it. Demp-
sey put him to sleep in the third round.
Lynn had preliminary hearing this
evening, and was committed to Jail with
out bonds.

Yukon Military Post,

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The bill for
the establishment of military post on
the Yukon river, in the interior Of Alaska,
which failed to get out of the house
committee, may be brought before the
committee at an early day. The objec-
ton urged to favorable action on the
bill was that post could not be estab-
lished without considerable expense,
and while most of the members of the
committee agreed that it was necessity,
they were unwilling to vote for any
large appropriation. 1t was shown to
the committee that in order to establish
and maintain the post steam vessel to
carry supplies and sawmill would be
necessary. The committee thought that
the outlay required for these was too
large, and accordingly dropped consider
alton Of the measure. If the bill is
again considered the chances are that
some arrangement by which it can Sc
cure favorable action will be made.

THE ALTOONA CONFERENCE.

1t is not always necessary for a political
movement to be heralded by . brass band
and red fire in order to make itself felt. For
this reason it may not he altogether safe for
the friends of Mr.. Delamater to pooh-pooh
the modest little meeting of Independent
Republicans at Altoona. To be sure, The
DIsPATcH's account of that meet
ing does not precisely indicate the
approach of a whirlwind in politics. A
number of gentlemen of. the Republican
faith met in Altoona to discuss the situation.
They are dissatisfied with the machine
management OF the party for various reasons.
The object is declared to be the comparison
of views and the cultivation of mutual ac-
quaintance. In these objects there is moth
ing of extraordinary significance. But is this
all? We think not. The Altoona conference
means more than has yet been told. Its
full significance may not be understood for
some little time yet. Election day is still
league away, and great deal can be done
in q few hours when the machinery is
carefully put together. oiled and tested.
Senator Emery, for instance, is not holding
his tongue for nothing in the face of great
provocation to speak. IF the Altoona con-
ference does not mark the beginning of a
very important movement we are very much
mistaken.

THE CONFER LARD BILL.

The Conger compound lard bill passed
the House yesterday. 1t is good measure
in the main, and there is nothing in it to
justify The feroeious violence which charac-
terized some o: the opposition to it. That it
was introduced to please the honest farmer
and to assist the hog lard packer is doubt
less true, but the public at large is bene-
flied by the bill.
The bill provides that all manufacturers
of compound lard shall take out an internal
revenue license to the amount of 500.
Wholesale dealers in compound lard are to
be taxed S24. and all persons who offer for
sale greater quantity than 80 pounds shall
be deemed wholesale dealer. Retail deal
ers are taxed 81 90. A penalty of not less
than $3.50 nor more than $500 is provided
for the violation of the provisions of the
bill. The bill also provides strict and ex-
plicit instructions for the branding, mark
ing, and stamping of the packages before
being offered for sale, and goes into the
utmost detail in laying down the rules for
manufacturers and dealers to follow, and in
erecting safeguards for the protection of the
Treasury and the granger.
In reporting it favorably to the House the
majority OF the committee said: "The bill
in its main features is similar TO the oleo-
margarine law, which has given general
satisfaction; and the wrongs to be prevented
and the benefits to be secured are in their
general character the same in both cases, the
only difference being that the latter applies
to limitations of butter, and the former to i'm
itations of lard. The promoters OF the bill
are the growers of swine. and the manufact-
urers and consumers of pure lard. Its oppo-
nents are the manufacturers of the imitation
compounds, and to some extent the pro-
ducers Of cottonseed oil The credit given
BY fair name to q false commodity, to-
gether with its cheapness, have enabled this
imitation compound to outrun honest lard
in their race for the tables of consumers, until
800. 900 600 pounds of the mixture are annual
lyplaced upon the market against 260, 600, 600
pounds of pure lard. Your committee, after
full and careful consideration, are OF the
opinion that the compound lard trade as
carried on is a stupendous commercial
fraud, which it is the duty Of Congress to
suppress; that if no measures are taken to
regulate 1t and to compel it to employ
honest methods, SO that consumers can dis
tinguish the pure from the compound arti-
Gle, the latter being cheaper will drive the
former from the market OF compel it to be
sold under the cost OF production; that the

CHIcAGO's PRIZE PUZZLE.

The directors of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition in Chicago are said to be near
ing a decision as to the site. For this in
formation we are indebted to the editorials
of the Chicago papers; their news columns
do not reveal the source of the welcome
news. The Chicago Neaos states that s'there
is now a reasonable certainty of the direct
ors returning to first principles and
adopting the Lake Front as the site pre-
eminently adapted to the success of the Ex-
position. The selection of the Lake Front
will not be any change of policy on the
part of the directors. 1t will simply be the
adoption of long-cherished plan, which
was temporarily obscured by the prospect Of
irreconcilable differences with the Illinois
Central Railroad Company. This cloud has
been removed. There is every prospect that
the company and the directorate have at
last reached common ground, and that each
will work in its particular sphere for the
final triumph of the Exposition.
1t is true that the adoption of the Lake
Front is better than the idiotie plan which
was first suggested to divide the Exposition
into two sections six or eight miles apart.
1t will be better to construc. site out of
the lake for the whole Exposition than for
half of it But to the impartial spectator
having knowledge of Chicago's parks and
suburban prairies, the existing network of
her rapid transit lines, the project to make
a site for the Exposition in Lake Michigan
seems quixotic in the extreme. The waste
of time, money and energy in such an un-
dertaking would be enormous. No ad-
vantage is visible which would compensate
for the outlay; and the incidental entangle-
ment of the Exposition project with rail-
road corporation is very undesirable. If
this is the settlement of the site question, it
is very little better than no settlement at all.

THE RESULT OF CAUCUS RULE.

Legislation by caucus is the subject of
powerful editorial in our esteemed cotem-
porary, the Philadelphia Ledger. The pro-
test against the dictatorial policy of Speaker
Reed, and the domineering of tine ruling
clique in the House, is being echoed widely
throughout the Republican party. As our
esteemed cotemporsry says, the legislator,
whether Senator or Representative, is no
longer the free agent which the Constitu-
tion and our system of government intends
him to be, from the moment when he sur
renders his own individual judgment and
subordinates and degrades it into being the
mere instrument of caucus or of Commit
tee on RULES or any other form of Steering
Committee. The caucus-obeving Senator
no longer represents his State by his vote
according to his own Judgment, but repre-
sents and is controlled by cabal of Sen
ators from other States. So with the Rep
resentative. He is no longer free to vote
his own good judgment. The arbitrary
methods of Speaker Reed in the House have
led to state of things which the caucus be-
hind him never contemplated. Violence
has bred violence; injustice has led to dis
order, and for days the proceedings of Con-
gress have been free fight, with no SEM
blance of respect for the Chair, the House
itself, or the interests and honor of the
nation,

compound being variable in its constituents
to suit the will of the compounder, the pro-
duction will gradually degenerate into a
competition between manufacturers in what
has been aptly characterized by gentleman
before the committee as expert aduitera-
tion;' that is to say, it will become contest
between producers as to which can use the
most of the cheaper ingredients and the
least lard and not be found out"
Nearly all the Congressman who do not
represent agricultural districts opposed the
bill, and Southern Democrats representing
the cottonseed interest naturally were its
most bitter opponents. Probably had not
the farmers shown such unmistakable signs
of impatience with legislative snubbing the
bill would not have commanded a majority.
Without arguing the righteousness of the
tax upon limitations of "honest" lard, there
can be no gainsaying the right of the people
to know exactly what they are buying. This
right the Conger bill conserves, and there
fore we hope it will be entered upon the
statute book.

MIR. pEPEw,s OBLIGATION.

1t would probably be wisest for Mr..
Powderly to declare the New York Central
strike off at once. Since the Federation of
Railway Employees has declined to offer the
knights of Labor any more practical as
sistance than sympathy it is clear that the
strike cannot be fought to successful issue.
This is the deduction to be made from the
patent facts of the situation, and possibly
Mr.. Powderly has at his command resources
of which we know nothing. Prolongation
of the strike will enable Mr.. Webb to fill
the places of the Knights of Labor with
non-union men, and it will serve no good
purpose as far as we can see. We still
think that arbitration should have been re-
sorted to by the managers of the New York
Central, and President Chauncey Depew
will have to explain why this principle for
which he has always professed affection
was rejected by his corporation without
even an apology.
1t behooves the New York Central man
agement to remember that organized labor has
not been defeated in this strike if one
particular organization has. The road will
be regarded with suspicion and distrust by
all the railroad labor unions until it shall
purge itself of the accusation that it is
waging war upon the organization of labor.
In this direction Mr.. Chauncey Depew when
he returns from abroad will have to labor
long and arduously if he intends to con-
tinue in the popular role of the working
mans friend.
