parted from Israel, nor has the light Of genius

P1rTsBoRo, Pa, Sept. II. Gov
ernment detective w. C. Negus left
for Portland, Oregon, tonight with
little Harry C. Whitbeck, aged
seven, who was kidnapped from the
residence Of his father, George w.
Whitbeck, a millionaire of Port
land, six years ago. At the time
of his Kidnapping Harry was only
IA months OLD. No clue of the
child was found till six months ago,
when tbs detective got a clue at
Omaha, followed it up to Home
stead, six miles from this city, and
located the boy to-day in the family
of mill-worker named Long. He
recognized the child by birth
mark. The woman who brought
the boy to the Long family died
some time ago. Mr.. Whitbeck has
spent $4,000 looking for the boy.
The detective will receive $4,000
reward.

Ohio Campaign Opened.
By The United Press.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. II. Gov.
Campbell opened the Democratic
campaign to-day at Sidney, Ohio,
to a fair sized assemblage. He
said that one of the most encourage
ing features of the campaign was
the apprehension exhibited by Re-
publicans in regard to the tariff.
The Republicans, by the nomina-
tion of Mckinley, had made the tar
iff issue and now they were dodg-
ing it. Referring to Senator Sher-
mans predictions Of the result of
the fres coinage, the Governor said
he was false prophet, and cited in
stances in which what the Senator
predicted had not come about. In
terviews with free silver men were
read to show that they claim Mr..
Mckinley as being one of them.
The truth was as ne said, that both
parties were divided on the tariff.
The Democrats of Ohio do not
agree upon free coinage but they
do agree that nothing could be
quite as absurd and unnatural as the
circulation of warehouse receipts, or
pawn tickets, based upon uncoined
metal. The Democratic plotform
denounces demonitization. Who
defends the demonitization of sill
yer? Every man connected with
it, except Senator Sherman, de-
nies having knowledge of it at the
time.

DALLAS, Tex, Sept. II. A
tragedy was enacted on the public
square at Sulphur Springs yester-
day. For several months past Ev-
erett Moore, editor of the Alliance
Vindicator, and E. NJ. Tate, editor
of the Hopkins county Echo, have
been engaged in bitter newspaper
controversy which had its origin in
a dispute over the Sub Treasury
scheme. Yesterday the men met
on the square and the old trouble
came up. Words led to blows,
when the men grappled. They
broke away, but pulled pistols and
each fred. Moore fell mortally
wounded and expired a few hours
afterwards. Tate was placed un-
der arrest. The feeling runs high
as both men were popular and each
had many friends.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 18th.
Acting Secretary Spaulding yester-
doy directed the collector at De-
troit, Mich, to return to Canada,
the Chinaman whom U. S. District
Judge Swan yesterday decided to
have come from Canada. This de-
cision the exact text of which was
unknown yesterday by the trearury
department, has created some con-
fusion in the treasury department,
as it overturns the practice of the
department, and the opinion of the
Attorney General on the meaning
of the phrase "whence he came" !"
The law Of 1888 provides that when
a Chinaman is nnlawfully in the
United States he shall beatried be-
fore United States Commissioner
and if held he can appeal to the
Unitev States District Court.
The decision of the United
States District Judge is final, as to
the government, no appeal under
the law of 1888 being permissible
The decision Of Judge Swan ap'
plies only to the district over
which he presides and other dis
trict Judges may agree with the
opinion of the Attorney Genera
and the Treasury Department II
