posure Means Their Cure
LONDON, Aug. s.-The Pail Mall Gazette
to-day, in a prominent article headed
Canadian Experiments in CorruDtion,"
makes lengthy reference in caustic
manner to the scandals unearthed by the
Investigations uow being made at Ottawa.
Among other things the Journal says:
zone of the most prominent
arguments against the annexation Of Can
ada to the United States has been the value
of Canadian experiments in government.
1t was thought by those opposed to auuexa-
tion that it would be- advantageous to have
each country work out its own institutions,
and thereby teach each other"
NO GROUND FOR SATISFACTION.
The Gozette questions that there is any
ground for satisfaction in Canada's expert
ments. AS just exposed, ," it declares, "a
more sordid spectacle OF corruption has
never been presented by
free people. Whatever defense in
dividual officials and politicians
may make in the United States, 1t is abund-
antly clear that the cancer OF corruption
has eaten deep into the Canadian institu-
tions Political life in the United States is
not particularly pure, but we would be ex-
ceedingiy surprised If the Canadian record
can be beaten"
The Gazette expresses satisfaction that il
is the avowed intention Of the Investigating
committees to probe the scandal to the bot
tom, and concludes its arraignment OF the
Canadian government officials with the
words: "In free country with healthy
public opinion the exposure of scandals
means their cure at no distant date"

much disappointment because the record

S SENTENCED FOR LIFE.
JGdEe PuRh Declares Elliott's Crime
Deliberate Murder.

judge Pugh Declares Elliott's Crime
a Deliberate Murder.
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 8.-William J. Ell
lott. convicted of murder in the second de-
gree for the killing of A. g. Osborne last
February, was to-day sentenced to the Ohio
penitentiary for life. There was great
crowd present, but not one of the defend
ants relatives were In court. Judge Pugh
first took up the motion for a
new trial aud reviewed the evidence
in the case. commenting in a scathing man
ner upon the testimony Of certain witnesses
for the defense, who were declared to have
perjured themselves without stint. The
killing of Osborne was characterized by the
court as deliberate, malicious, relentless
murder. The verdict was declared to be
not against the weight of the evidence, and
a motion to set it aside was, overruled. A
motion for a stay Of sentence pending the
appeal to ths supreme court was overruled,
and the prisoner was asked if he had any
thing to say before receiving the sentence
of the court.
ELLIoTT's SPEECH.
Elliott arose, made a speech of some
length, in which he declared before the
immaculate God that he was innocent; :;
that he had not expected to meet Osborne
On that fatal day, and that Osborne began
the shooting. He also claimed that the
jury had done him a great wrong. He
said he would bid good-by to liberty with
the reflection that he was the victim of cir
cumstauces, and was suffering for his devo-
tion to the cause Of pure womanhood.
Judge Pugh then sentenced Elliott.

THE RYAN CASE.
An Inventory Slows the Value Of

An Inventory Slows the Value Of
Stock to be $411,7e3 "a.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. S.-The inventory
Of Ryan's stock was filed in the clerks Office
to-day by Receiver Kingsberry. The total
value Of the stock is SAIL, ,7S3 "a. Two
classes Of creditors were represented before
Judge Richard Clark this morning, when
the case was called. The first class is of
people that had paid for small quantities Of
goods that were left at the store to be de-
livered. One man had purchased and paid
for a 20-cent pair Of stockings, and the store
was shut up before they were sent out.
From this the claims ran up to several dol~
lars in value, but none Of them were con-
siderable
GOODS TO BE DELIVERED.
Judge Clark authorized the receiver TO
deliver these goods upon proof satisfactory
to hlmself that they had been paid for. The
other class of claims is of creditors who sold
Ryan goods that were never paid for and
that are now in his stock. These creditors
claim to be able to identify their goods now.
They want to do this, and remove their
property now locked up in the receivers
hands. The hearing of this class Of claims
was postponed until next Saturday, when
it will come up before Judge Marshall ].
Clarke. The claims aggregate already g.
little over s20O.00O.
ADVERTISED FOR SALE.
Receiver Kingsberry advertises this after
noon that he will receive sealed bids until
Tuesday, Aug. 49, at 10 O'Clock a. m, for
the entire stock Of dry goods, ETC., in the
storerooms formerly occupied by John
Ryan's Sons. The highest and best bid will
be submitted to the court for action
THERE MAY BE A COMPROMISE.
There is probability that Ryan's cred
itors will accept compromise upon their
claims. Negotiations 60 that end
have been pending for sever
al days. It is stated, unauhtorita-
lively, that Ryan has made proposition to
them, and that they asked a little more
time. 1t seems to be the prevalent opinion
among those that ought to know that a set
Element will be reached.

YUMA, ARR, Aug. S.-Cocopah Smith,
an American trapper, accompanied by
Gardner, hunter, and Espito, Cocopah
Indian, have returned from the Gulf of
California. and give additional details con-
cerning the earthquake and tidal
wave Of Thursday last. About o'clock
that morning a heavy shock struck the
country about five miles below Leredo,
colony in the state of Sonora, Mex, on the
Colorado river. The sky darkened, and
a thunder storm arose, accompanied by
great flashes Of lightning, The river rose
as a huge wave from the gulf, and was
driven inland, and corrals. fencing and
landing places were washed away. The
shaking of the ground increased, and
cracking, grinding noise Of crumbling hills
was intensified.
THE SECOND SHOCK.
A second shock caused the earth TO open
in many places, some assures being from
four to seven feet wide aud from twenty to
thirty feet long and seemingly fathomless.
The men were thrown TO the ground by the
force of the shock.
About a mile from Leredo they noticed a
fissure in the middle Of the river bed into
which the Colorado was pouring with much
noise.
a third shock of earthquake destroyed
three small habitations OF the colonists, and
cracked the remaining ones. No human
lives were lost. but a large amount Of live
stock was killed.
