To that ride, Sullivan says he respects Mr..
Bailey because he believes he will tell the
truth under any circumstances, and he
further says he will pay all his expenses in
the trial of Il. B. Albertson if Mr.. Bailey
will prove that he at any time tried to ex-
hibit revolver during the ride TO Black k
River junction.
Sullivan exhibits deposit receipt for
$40, $50 in favor of the Fidelity Trust Com
pany bank for the money taken from Al
bertson and Chandler when captured.
Besides that amount, 5000 was secured in
coin, and three diamonds worn by Albert
son, making total valuation of nearly
$1,000. There were sixty 500 and one
$1,000 bills among the money secured. 1t
is believed here by some that
Albertson will not be brought
here alive. Upon IAmpkin's state
men, Sullivan thinks he will recover;
still he has became anxious, and today
wired one of his men who is with
the deputy sheriff at Gardiner, to employ
Immediately another physician and have
him well cared for. Albertson was shot
with ball from a 44calibre revolver, which
caused an ugly wound. Sullivan says
Lampkin has been in the employ of Theil' 5
agency for nearly year, and that he led
the party in the capture. The expense of de-
tectiyes and telegraph bills so far in the
case is placed between 5000 and $4,000.
Sullivan says the actual expense of the
men employed on the case will foot up
5000.

wonld Not Talk at Portland.

PORTLAND, Sept POI. n. Chandler
was taken to Tacoma this morning by
Deputy Sheriffs Croak. Daggert and Hicks
He slept well duRing the night and ate a
hearty breakfast in the morning. The
last thing the prisoner said was:
"While could give you good story,
and might say q great deal in my own
defense, have concluded to say nothing
at least for the present. / cannot help my
own case any by talking and might do a
great deal to injure my friends. | appre
ciate the kind treatment | have received
at the hands of the officers here, and hope
| viii be treated as well in Tacoma"
Chandler would say nothing at all in re-
gard TO the robbery, and in view of the
fact that he talked quite freely when first
arrested, there is no reason TO doubt that
Sullivan has brought some influence to
hear TO make him keep still. The prevail
ing opinion here is that Sullivan ard Ives
have extracted a full confession from
Chandler and have promised him his lib
erty for turning states evidence and dis
closing all the details of the robbery.

Ex-CoNGREssMAN SCOTT DEAD.
The Noted Pennsylvania Suddenl y
Passes Away at Newport.

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept 20.-Ex-Congress-
man w. l.. Scott, of Pennsylvania, died
suddenly before midnight last night. DR..
W. Pepper stated today that Mr..
scott's death was very sudden, and was
due TO repeated heart failures. The fam
lily leave with the remains in the morning
for their home in Erie, Pa.
William L. Scott was born in Washington
City July 2, ISIS. His parents were Virginians.
He received a common school education. He
served as page in congress in the days of Web
ster and Calhoun--from 1910 to 1916. He re-
moved to Erie, Pa, in 1918, and there was
ployed as clerk in the shipping business until
1850 In that year he established hims elf in the
coal and shipping business anu soon owned sew
eral vessels on the lakes. Later on he turned
his attention TO the iron manufacturing busi-
ness, coal mining industry aud the railroad buSi-
ness, constructing and operating roads. Either
as president or director he has been connected
with various lines aggTegating over 22,000 miles
OF completed roads-the greatest number of
miles of railroad which any individual was ever
an officer or director of. lie made in these vari
Gus enterprises a fortune now estimated at $5c,
100000. He also devoted some attention to pol
tiles. In 1865, AT the national convention of the
Democratic party he district delegate; in 1880
he was delegate at large from the state OF Penn
sylvania to the Democratic convention. From
1876 TO 1884 he was the representative of Penn
sylyauia on the Democratic national com nittee.
He was mayor of Erie in 1S66 and in 1871. He
was a member of the Forty-ninth
and Fftieth congresses, and was
the leader in the house during
his terms on the Democratic side, and his direct
and forcible manner of speech always conf
manded the attention of the House and galleries.
He was always attired with scrupulous neat
ness and was very dainty in dining, which caused
him to be regarded an epicure.l
Congressman Scott was the author of the
following stirring sentiment: eve (the
capitalists can control the workingman only so
long as he eats up today what he earns tomor-
row." Mr. Orange Noble, OF Erie, Pa. Mr..
Seotts longtime neighbor aId political as
sociate, is responsible for the charge that Scott
uttered those disgraceful words. He says that
they were said to him personally some time ago,
and Mr. Scott has so far not cared to deny them. |

ALL CHILE REJOJCES.
Regrets Expressed, However, That Bal
maceda Has KILLED Himself

New YORK, Sept. 20.-The HeraLds Val
paraiso cable says: The suicide of Bal
maceda yesterday morning at the Argen-
tine legation, in Santiago, is the
one absorbing and exciting topic of
conversation in every part of the
city. There is a mingled feeling of savage
rejoicing at his death and bitter regret
that he should have killed himself, instead
of falling into the clutches of the infuriated
citizens, who would have delighted to rend
him limb from limb for the long list of
cruelties for which they hold him re-
sponsible. 1t is Impossible for any one not
in this country or not native to realize
the intensity Of the hatred entertained
toward the ex-president.
