The press Of the country pretty unani-

was all the good that it did. 1t was piece of
vast stupidity to allow Washington territory
to become a state under that name, as il was
to have two Dakotas. But the proposition to
change them met with tho fercest resistance

BRUTAL RUSSIANS.
THE HORRORS RESULTING FROM
FIRE AND STORM AT TOMSk.
Hundreds of Lives Lost and Assist
ance Refused.
Another Instance OF Cruelty by the
Cars Soldiers.

ST. PETERsBpRG, May 1s.-Reports re-
ceved of the burning of Tomsk, capital
of Western Siberia, furnish another in
stance of the inhuman brutality OF the
Russian soldiery.l The place was visited
simultaneously BY a contlagration and
cyclone, the result Of the combined disas-
tiers being the destruction Of three quarters
of the buildings, which were of wood, and
the loss of hundreds of lives. The cathe-
dral, situated in the High Town, is in ashes.
The walls of the ediice in falling crushed
an adjacent hospital, burying the inmates
who were subsequently roasted alive. The
garrison brutally refused TO render the
least assistancein saving lives and property
on the plea that they had enough TO do TO
protect the barracks and other government
buildings. They also added that they had
no time TO assist "worthless eXiles." The
panic stricken mob OF sufferers huddled
together in the streets firmly believing
that the end of the world had come and
abandoned themselves TO stolid despair.
Much of the suffering however, might
have been averted had there been the
slightest attempt at organized relief. As
II fire and water were not capable OF in
fiicting misery enough on the unfortunate
outcasts the storm was followed by sud
den fall in the temperature, and soon the
devasted city was buried beneath mantle
of snow that added singing cold to the
sutferings Of the thousands OF shelterless
men, women and children.

Reid Must Go TO Prison.

GRAND RAPIDS, May 14.-Justice Howell
r.. jackson of the sixth judicial circuit of
the United States before whom came the
case of DIR. Walter +. Reid, the spirit
postmaster" charged with using the mails
for fraudulent purposes on q motion for a
new trial, held that the law was constitu-
tional, and he also ridiculed the idea of
proving "A thing which is impossibe-the
receiving of communications from departed
spirits. In announcing his dccisio Judge
jackson said the trial judge in his trial TO
the jury said: IF you find that DIR. Reid
did really believe that he could and did re-
ceive communications from the spirit land
you must acQuit him" That certainly Wds
as fair to the respondent as anything could
be, and the trial Judge went farther into
the case than the circuit judge would have
gone. The motion for new trial is over
ruled. The defense moved fer a new trial
upon about thirty counts The main
ground was that the court erred in not al
lowing the respondent 10 have a SO tnce in
court and prove that he could receive COM
munications from departed spirits. Further
that the court erred in charging the jury.
The point was also raised that the court
had no Jurisdiction over the case, the
statute under which the indictment was
made being unconstitutional. Judge
Severens announced that sentence would
not be pronounced until after the compile
ton of the special docket The full penal
ty which il is expected that Reid will get,
is $500 fine Ond eighteen months imprson-
ment. The attorneys for the defense state
that they will carry the case 10 the United
States supreme court on motion tor GER
tiorari aud habeas corpus. Reid will in the
meantime be behind the bars, and unless
the case is given immediate attention at the
latter court, his time will have been served
before IL is reached.

The Law is demonstrations

WASHINGTON, May 20. - The supreme
court has rendered an opinion holding To be
unconstitutional the law of Minnesota re-
quiring that all fresh meats sold in the
state shall be cut from animals slaughtered
in the state and inspected "A hours before
slaughter. The case is entitled estate OF
Minnesota against Henry ID. Barber" and
is of great interest to dressed beef men,
who win the case. Barber was convicted
OF selling dressed beef slaughtered in Hi
nois, and which had not been inspected
before slaughter as required by the law of
Minnesota. He alleged that the law was
an unconstitutional interference with inter-
state commerce.

AGRICULTURAL WAREHOUSES;.
Mr.. McCune Says That the Farmers
VIII Have What They Want.

WASHINGTON, May 15 - Mr.. Macune,
representing the Farmers Alliance in his
argument before the ways and means com
mittee in favor of the Pickler bill TO re-es.
tiblish sub.treasuriesf for the receipt OF ag
ricultural products, was questioned by
members OF the committee respecting the
details and probable effect of the dill.
Mr.. Payne wished TO know If one effect
would not be 10 encourage over production
Mr.. Macune replied that it would not, for
just as soon as soon as the farmers calling
became more profitable than others there
would be an influx of men into the business
which would result in a reaction, and final
ly the restoration Of an equilibrium. To his
mind no fixed volume OF currency-no mat
ter how great-would meet the needs of
agriculture. 1t wanted an elastic medium.
The farmer sold his crops in the fall when
prices were lowest and bought his supplies
before harvest, when prices were highest.
Crops were marketed in two or three
months OF the year, and this marketing an
nually cause great stringency in money
Mr.. Flower feared that the plan would
lead TO banking on live stock, iron, lead,
and silver ore. They were getting along
now in the latter direction at the other
end OF the capitol In time we would have
everything "in hook" In the course OF ten
years the government would be nursing
the children aud the women working in the
field.
Mr.. Macune proceeded to explain the pro-
cess proposed to regulate the issue OF pro-
duce certificates. He said that the necessi-
~ for excluding agricultural products was
obvious ii the quality of the products was
to DO preserved. The certificates would
constitute the soundest and best currency
in the world. Probably not one half OF the
$50,000,O0O appropriation asked TO put the
new machinery in action would be required.
but the SUN should not be absolutely fixed
at minimum, as in time it would be neces-
sary TO extend the system TO include all of
the products OF labor not covered by pat
ents. In conclusion Mr.. Macune aid that
the national alliance had not sent out a
single printed petition and that those pc
titions and demands now pouring in upon
congress were the spontaneous Offering
OF the farmers of the United States who
were convinced that they knew what they
wanted and were going to have it.
Mr.. Flower said in comment upon the
argument, that the farmer would do well
10 manage his domestic affairs without
government interference. The currency
system Of the present was wrong. The
government had not managed IL properly
and could not do so. 1t had taken from the
states the right 10 issue the currency, al.
though it was itself no judge of the needs
Of the people. The states and their people
were the best judges.
