Blaine,s Reply to the MiIlers.

Mr.. Blaine replying to telegram re-
ceived from the chairman of the National
Millers' association, in session at Minneapo-
lis saying that it is reported that an addi-
tional duty of so cents per barrel will be
imposed upon American -four by Cuba on
July 1, and that this would prohibit any
possible -four trade between the
United States and Cuba, speaks as follows:
1--WE have no official adviccs at the state
department of the so cents additional duty
on -four in Cuba. If levied, it will make
the duty 1871 per barrel-evidently in
tended by Spain TO be prohibitory. The
whole subject is within the power and
wisdom of congress. 1t has been constant
ly said here within the past six months
that the western farmers demand the un-
conditional repeal of the sugar duty. 1t is
within the power of western farmers, by
encouraging a system of reciprocity, to Sc
cure in exchange for the repeal of this duty
the free admission of their bread stuffs and
provisions in the markets of 40, 900, 900 of
people including Cuba. In my opinion this
is the most profitable policy for the western
farmer. Free sugar in the United States
should be accompanied by free breadstuffs
and provisions in Spanish-America."

Strikers Enioined.

The strike has finally got into court and
the action is not brought by the strikers.
Warren q. Vinton, George j. Vinton and
John Whitaker, composing the firm of
Vinton & Co. of Detroit, filed a bill OF com.
plant against William +. Abrams and the
other members of the strike committee in
the Wayne county circuit court Wednes-
day asking that the court issue an injunc-
ton restraining the strike committee from
attempting to get any non-union men to
leave their employ or to harass or intimi-
date them, and from congregating with
other strikers or urging strikers to congre-
gate in the vicinity OF their shop or any
place where they may have work in prog
ress and from in any way attempting to in
terfere with the business or employees of
the firm. The bill OF complaint covers 20
typewriter pages. Judge Hosmer grant
ed the injunction. There is considerable
difference of opinion as 10 what effect il
can or will have. The unions are not in
corporated and the strike committee is not
considered to be legal representative of
the various unions. The ject of the in
junction is to reach the strikers through
their representatives, but as the committee
are not legally their representatives it is
considered doubtful If the Injunction will
have any effect Judge Hosmer Endorsed a
proviso on the injunction providing that
the defendants should not be restrained
from peaceable argument to induce any
non union man from uniting with the.
strikers 10 demand the scale adopted The
injunction will therefore simply restrain
the committee from any violent or illegal
methods, such as fighting or int:ulidatio n,
in attaining their ands.

HANGED a WOMAN.
Mrs. Potts and Her Husband Exc
cuted at Elko, New.

ELKo. New, June 2l.-Josiah Potts and
ais wife, Elizabeth Potts, were hanged here
1t 10:45 a. IN. yesterday. At half past ten
o'clock this morning the sheriff read the
warrants to the condemned. At the con-
,lusion Of the reading Mrs. POTTS earnest
" calculated: IT am innocent, and God
knows it," and Josiah Potts reiterated:
''God knows we are innocent" The
gloomy procession led the way through the
side door, and with bravery unexpected by
the spectators, they seated themselves on
the stools provided on the scaffold, while
deputies speedily proceeded to bind them
with leather straps, Mrs. Potts helping TO
adjust them herself and Potts sitting in
;tolidity. When everything had been
thoroughly adjusted they were directed to
rise All of the attendants shook hands
with the condemned AS they stood, after
shaking hands, Potts made several endeav-
ors to clasp the hand of his wife without
accomplishing il. Finally touch on her
wrist caused her to turn her eyes towards
his and the mute appeal of love caused their
lips to meet for a brief moment. AS the
cope was stretched around Mrs.
Potts neck, she clasped her hands together
and lifting her eyes toward tho sky ex-
claimed: God help me, / am innocent"
Her husband reiterated in a hollow tone:
God knows we are both innocent"
The crime for which Potts and his wife
suffered was the murder of Miles Fawcett
at Carlin, January /, 1888. Fawcett, who
was about 20 years of age, lived on ranch
few miles from Carlin, whore he had
some stock and several hundred dollars
in money. Mrs. Potts did his washing and
baking. Fawcett lent them several hun
bred dollars which they subsequently re-
fused to pay. On January | Fawcett,
with one Limeburger, went to Potts house
to demand the money. Limeburger after
accepting a glass of liquor left the house,
leaving Fawcett there to transact his bust
ness. That was the last ever seen of Faw-
cett until his body was found in the follow
ing year. Potts family stated that Fawcett
had settled up all his business, and given
Mrs. Potts bill of sale of all his property
and had left for parts unknown.
In September, 1883, the Potts family
SOLD the property and that formerly belong
ng 10 Fawcett and removed to Rock
Springs, Wash. In January, 1889, the
oody of Fawcett, the limbs severed from the
Tunll, the skull crushed in and the remains
partly burned, were found by the caving in
IF the roof of dug-out cellar attached To
the house formerly occupied by Potts. The
family were brought back to Elks for trial.
Circumstantial evidence went to show that
Mrs. Potts struck Fawcett on the back of
the head as he was lying in bed and also
fully implicated Potts in the crime. The
Jury returned verdict of murder in the
first degree and the supreme court affirmed
the decision.

HE WAS FUNNY.
Why Merriam Bequeathed His $780,
900 to the United States.

NEW YORK, June 2l.-Surrogate Jas. II.
Tuthill of Suffolk county, has decided that
William w. Merriam, the recent school
teacher who bequeathed his entire fortune
of $50, 900 TO the United States government,
was competent 10 make a will, and has adj
mitted the document to probate. The con-
testants were Merriam's four sisters who
live in Connecticut. They attempted TO
prove their brother of unsound mind. In
the testimony it was shown that Merriam
had mania for making wills in favor of
little girls and favoTite pupils. He was 80
years of age when he died, and he had
spent the greater part of his life in teach
ing school in Suffolk county. He was
known TO hire children to attend his school.
One of his hobbies was to rise in the mid
die of the night and blow fish horn, dance
and sing nursery songs until he aroused the
whole ncighborhood. The reason he gave
for willing his estate TO the government
was that it was rich and could afford TO
fight his relatives should they contest it.
After his death money and bonds were
found stuck in he.ceiling and out of way
corners in the room in which he lived. He
was brother of the publishers of Web
ster's dictionary in Boston. The courts
will be asked TO set aside the surrogates
