THE government printing Office at
Washington is supposed to be the
largest printing establishment in the
world. A study of the estimates of its
expenses convinces one that that belief
must be pretty well founded. When
one reads estimates for printing inks in
five thousand and ten thousand pound
lots, stereotype metal in lots of one
hundred thousand pounds and an equal
quantity of bar.lead; twenty five thc&.
sand pounds of glue, fifty thousand feet
of imitation Russia leather, and paper
to cost alone over half million dollars,
1t is easy to believe that the government
printing Office is a great establishment

FOUR RIOTERS HELD.

Official Inquiry in Chill Into the Balti-
more Affair-An of the Sailors Except
One Had Been Drinking-No Evidence
of Handwriting or Bad Treatment by the
Police.
VALPARAISO, Dec. 23.-Judge Of
Crimes Foster has concluded his in
quiry into the assault upon the man.
of-warsmen of the United States
cruiser Baltimore in the streets
of Valparaiso October 16 last
and passed the testimony over
to the procurator fiscal for his
opinion. The fiscal, or attorney. in ac-
cordance with the Chilian criminal pro-
cedure, will lay down the law in the
case, after which the judge will
give his decision. The testimony
takes up 500 pages. 1t goes on to say
that the Baltimore's men, who were
arrested stated that citizen and 9TH
er parties assaulted them. There was
not the slightest evidence of handcuff-
ing or lad treatment by the police.
The seaman Garrett thought but was
not sure that policemen stabbed him.
All the BaltimOre's sailors, with the
exception of Brown, who appeared to
have been perfectly sober, acknowl-
edged that they had been drinking.
Thirty American sailors were arrested
in the first instance. The court
of inquiry was kept waiting because
Capt Schley stated that Minister Egan
would procure other witnesses to the
affair: The judge adds that the in
quiry is now concluded without these
promised witnesses having been pro-
duced.
Four of the accused rioters are held.
Gomez, of the four, ackno owledges stab
bing Coal Heavier Turn bull four times
! in the back. Turnbull received in all
eighteen wounds in the back, two of
which penetrated his lungs and caused
his death shortly after the death
of Boatswain Charles Riggin. Gomez,
however, while admitting that he
stabbed Turnbull, asserts that he was
defending some friend of his whom
Turnbull had knocked down.
The sailors stories were the same as
they gave aboard the Baltimore after
the assault. The evidence of the
saloonlSeepers and other witnesses
was conflicting. These were all the
! important points in the report.
After the fiscal has reviewed the tes-
! timony and returned it for Judge Fos-
ter to pass judgment upon it will be
submitted to the supreme court for a
final decision. Every step in the in
vestigation is now being hurried up by

A LEAGUE OF DEATH.
Four Young Persons in Michigan Enter
Into Compact to Commit Suicide
Three Have Kept Their Word.

Four Young Persons in Michigan Enter
Into a Compact to Commit Suicide
Three Have Kept Their Word.
1ONIA, Mich, Dec 23.-Less than a
wear ago three girls and one or more
young men residing in this city agreed
to commit suicide. Three of the
covenanters have already perished by
their own hands, a fourth is married
and may have changed her mind,
and the others, if there were
any, are unknown. So far as has been
ascertained the persons who entered
the terrible compact were Grace Cook,
May Shell, Fred Butler and girl
named Rogers. The agreement was
made at convivial gathering, probably
in fun, but is being kept as though it
were a sacred obligation.
Grace Cook, the first to die, was
found in her room adjoining restau-
rant writhipg under the effects of NOR
phine, and soon expired. Several
months ago Fred Butler attacked a
lady clerk with a club, and on
being identified and tracked to his
room by officers fred bullet into his
brain. The third life sacrifice in pur-
suance of the agreement was that of
May Shell, who died at Battle Creek
on Sunday with every symptom of
poisoning by morphine.
Miss Shell, pretty girl, had been q
resident of the city for the last year
She was born of respectable parents,
farmers, of Berlin township, and was
one of seven sisters of good repute,
five of whom are married and have
good homes. About year ago May
came to Ionia from Belding and went
to work in the overall factory. She had
sister living at Portland, and while
there became acquainted with Minnie
Brace, milliner, and the Rogers girl,
who was Miss Braces trimmer. After
May came here she had $1,000 left
her, and began to lead reck-
less life. May and her allies soon
managed to dispose of about $500. Last
month May went to Lansing with
Minnie Brace and fell in company with
Jennie Mishler, and the three went to
Battle Creek. Mays untimely end was
not a surprise here, as she had twice
attempted her life. Her relatives went
to Battle Creek Monday and brought
her remains to Ionia, where they were
inferred in a neighboring cemetery.
The dead girls downfall was rapid.
Her relatives did their utmost to check
her wayward life, but it was Of no
avail. She had evidently determined
to have what she called good time"
and kill herself when her money was
squandered. The Rogers girl was re-
Gently married, and as she has not
since associated with her former oom-
panions is presumed to have aban-
doned the idea of self-destruction.

And, in fact, l think the washout will be benefit to the town. All new houses are being constructed on higher ground and are built of lum- Der instead of mud. All is life and push here and everybody is busy, In dians, Mexicans and the whole business at work. The Orchards are not hurt by the flood. Oranges, lemons, peaches, apples and pears are all in good shape, and there will be big crop of fruit this year. Yuma is not alone in her washout condition. All through Cali fornia can be seen the track of high water, from Mojave to Los Angeles ranches and railroads having suffered. The San Gabriel river, east of Los An geles, washed away any amount of and, valued at from $50 to Si00 per acre, and the canyon north of Los An. geles, for distance of twenty miles or more, every ranch lost land and fences to more or less extent, and the 5.
