CHICAGO, August 20.-"Yes," said M.
II. DeYoung, of California, vice-presi-
dent of the worlds fair national COM
mission, 'I have read the dispatch from
California protesting against the ap-
pointment of anyone but a Californian
for the headship of the horticultural
bureau, and / think California is fully en-
titled to the position. For base ingrati-
tude and selfish acting, commend me to
the Chicago board"
"California," continued Mr.. De Young.
"was the first enthusiastic state over the
exposition. Its senators and represen-
tatives in congress voted to To-
cate the fair in Chicago. Its
state legislature made the largest
appropriation, and by its example
largely created the interest taken in
other states. How did this local body
treat this state in return? Nominations
made tor heads of bureaus previous to
the one assigned to California were
confirmed Immediately upon receipt,
but they hung up the California
nomination and appointed committee
to investigate. This committee never
theless made favorable returns, but the
board Immediately rejected Maxwell's
nomination.
There has not been an individual
from the entire Pacific coast that re-
ceived solitary appointment in
the exposition, while forty per
cent. OF the officers and bureau
chiefs are residents of Illinois.
The The majority ct the national commits
sion have humbly petitioned their only
executive officer to appoint Californian
to the head of the horticultural board.
The majority of this Chicago local
board did likewise, and like
good Chicago men, after signing this
petition, and after their own committee
reported favorably on Californian,
they promptly went back on themselves
and their own signatures, and rejected
two different California nominations.
81 do not desire to say anything fur
ther about tie local board. There are q
great many other facts, however, which
will come out in time"

second talk with Mitchell, who again
visited him in the barn. ION my Sec
ond VISIT Solicitor Mitchell says,
"AImv fiourished his revolvers more
dangerously than ever. He, put them
in my face and said to those within
hearing: Stand back, gentlemen. /
hold Mitchell's life in my hands, and if
you wink I'll shoot him. Almy again
asked If would guarantee protection
and fair trial. assured him he would
have both. He then called for John H.
Fuller, who came. After reaHsurances
of protection and fair trial, he handed
Fuller one of his revolvers and me the
other. I've since learned that Sheriff
Bridgeman had secured position un-
known to Almy, and was about to pull
the trigger of leveled gun when Almy
surrendered"
A carriage was brought up to the barn
with the curtains down. The crowd
became furious at the prospect of not
seeing Almy. They demanded to see
him, III tones which meant that they
would see him or take affairs in their
own hands. The curtains were removed
from the carriage. Four officers with
drawn revolvers were around Almy as
he entered the crrriage. He was scarcely
visible, and the crowd made rush for
the carriage. The officers finally got the
carriage through the crowd, and Almy
was taken swiftly to the Wheelock hotel.
The crowd was close in the rear. Almy
was taken into the dining room
of the hotel. Che office was
instantly filled with people, demanding
a sight of Almy, but the officers with
drawn revolvers prevented passage to
the room. The streets in front Of the
hotel were packed solid with a turbu-
lent crowd. Sheriff Bridgeman finally
told the crowd that they could see
Almy tomorrow at the preliminary trial,
but a cry went up: "We want to see
Almy today and are going to do it,"
, Finally they were told they could see
him as soon as his wounds were
dressed. When this had been done,
the people were allowed to walk
through. After 1900 had passed, Almy
tainted, and the doors were closed. An
examination showed that he had been
shot three times. None OF the wounds
are very serious.
Almy says there is nothing in his past
career that is bad, except that he gam
bied some. He will probably be ar
raigned tomorrow. s
In an interview this evening he said
he killed Christie, but had no Intention
of committing any other crime. After
he killed her he went direct to Mr..
Warden's barn, and from there saw her
body brought to the house and had a
full fl Il view of tho funoT al He had been been
about the premises ever since, making
frequent visits to her grave by night
and moving about for necessary food.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, August Co.
A desperate attempt was made at the
penitentiary today, by convicts to es-
cape, and two prisoners were killed and
one wounded. The break was frustrated
only by the bravery of Warden McLees
and the coolness Of his guards. There
were about 1856 men in the brick yard
when train came in with material. A
plot had been arranged among about
forty prisoners to make break for lib
erty. Four men seized Warden McLees
and four jumped into the locomotive.
The engineer, before he was thrown, re-
versed his engine and put on full head
of steam. This sent the locomotive
in the opposite direction, and spoiled
the original plan. The locomotive
crashed through the gate and was
stopped by ditched cars.
In the meantime Warden McLees
with sharp knives at his throat, was
being carried. forward to the open oppo-
site gate.
When within fifteen feet of the gate,
Guard Berry leveled a gun at the con-
victs having the warden. One of the
convicts. named Gleason, then said
"Make him drop that gun or down you
CO., raising knife. At that moment
Guard Berry shot him down. The war
den attempted to capture the other man
holding him, but he fled.
When twenty feet away, Berry fired
again, and he fell with the knife still
in his hand This ended the tronhle.
The men killed are William Gleason,
sent up last year from Seattle for
thirteen years for robbery and at
tempted murder, and John Morris, also
sent for seven years from Seattle, for
robbery. They and Latina, the mur-
derer, were the leaders of the crowd.
Before the coroner's jury this evening
Thomas Dorriscott, overseer at the peni-
tentiary, testified: 81 have charge of
the brick-yard. The first I knew Of the
trouble saw the men getting on the
engine. / told them to get off. They
then made q Jump end grabbed nae
around the neck. They said. You
keep quiet and you will not be hurt
They started to take me toward where
they had McLees. While part way there
shot was fired. l saw Gleason drop.
They let me go and ran for the sheds.
Very soon 1 heard another shot, and
Morris fell. The first shot was fred by
Berry, and the other two were divided
between Berry and Swash. While they
were taking McLees toward the gale,
the men had knives with their points
to McLees's head" az

TERRIBLE DISASTER,
Eight Men Killed by An Explosion Of
Giant Powder.

Eight Men Killed by An Explosion of
Giant Powder.
BURKE, Idaho, August 20.-Two hum
dred pounds of giant powder exploded
at the mouth of the lower tunnel of the
Black Bear mine, near here, yesterday,
with terrible effect. Four men were
imprisoned at the breast of the drift by
a rock which caved in, and were suffo-
Gated. The bodies of four other miners
have not yet been found, but all hope of
finding them alive is given up. The
explosion was terrible, tearing up the
earth and caving in the tunnel for
distance of 100 feet.
At o'clock the rescuing party had
recovered the dead bodies of four men
who were suffocated. They were Nc
Neill, general manager; John Jones. as
sistant manager; Robert Blackburn and
John Barrins, miners. 1t is feared that
the four others, who are missing, were
blown to atoms.
Just how the explosion occurred can
not be ascertained, but it is supposed
that a lighted candle, or fire from a pipe,
dropped into a box containing powder
ur fuse by some one passing, was the
cause. Four cases, of 200 sticks each,
exploded almost simultaneously.
The Black Bear mine is located half
way between Wallace and Burke, on
what is known as Cafion creek, near the
town of Gem. 1t was formerly owned
by O. B. Hardy and Peter Jansen. Mr..
Hardy recently disposed of his interest
to Campbell and Finch.
The bodies of the men recovered were
found at distance of $50 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel. Three of the
men who are missing are supposed to
have been near the scene OF the explo-
sion, and it is thought that with them
lies the knowledge of the cause of the
explosion. The work of recovering the
bodies will be continued until it is rea-
sonably sure that all are accounted for.
Jense, Rlackman and Barrino were
found near the wreck. smothered by gas
from the explosion. They had evidently
been in the rear end of the tunnel, and
hearing the explosion came forward and
tried to open passage way, but were
overcome by gas. A short time before
relief came, a voice was heard by the
men outside, saying: "For Gods sake,
hurry up"
Mr.. Mcneil was a young man
and an assayer and mining
man of considerable promise, and had
been in charge of the mine about a
month. He was from Iowa, and has
sisters in San Francisco and brother
in Butte.
Peter Jense, a prominent railroad con-
tractor, and brother of the one killed,
arrived at Wallace from Portland, only
to hear OF the accident on his arrival.

\. Important Action.
SALEM, Ore, August 20.-At its meet
ing this afternoon, the Oregon state
board Of railroad commissioners took
action in the matter of Union Pacific
zfreSght rates. The company protested
against the adoption Of new rates, and
also made complaint against their i'm
mediate enforcement. The company
asked the board for fifty days to collect
data, but the request was refused. The
tariff sheets adopted by the board go
into effect no later than September 1st.
The board thought the present rate un-'
reasonable, and more than just COM
pensation. The new rates are reduc-
tion on an average of not less than 33
per cent on grain and millstuffs and
about 15 per cent on horses, mules, eta,
in carload lots. The Union Pacific will
contest the matter in court.

that this language vested wide discre-
ton in the Probate Judge.
We feel entirely satisfied that the words
want of integrity" found in Section
1850 of the Code of Civil Procedure, do
not apply to case where there is a simple
conflict of interest in regard to the estate
between the executor named in a will
and the other legatees We are also sat
isfied that if the Legislature had designed
to make such conflict of interest cause
for refusing to appoint an executor so
named, such intention would have been
manifested by language moro apt for that
purpose than is to be found in that sec
ton of the Code of Civil Procedure.
We may add that while the court is
authorized to refuse to appoint an execu-
tor named in will for want eff integrity,
yet, for manifest reasons, this power
should not be exercised except upon
clear and convincing evidence establish
ing such disqualifying fact.
The executor may always be removed
after appointment unless he discharges
the duty of his trust faithfully and as di-
rected by law.
