THE Philadelphia Ledger, which never
says a weak thing, puts it admirably
when it says that the Ohio Democratic de-
mand for ''the equal right Of silver and
gold to free and unlimited coinage" is a
grave mistake:
They are demanding equality for things
silver and gold-which in their very nature
are unequal, and which no iteration or reiter-
alton of mere words In the resolves of a politi-
cal convention or an Act OF Congress can
make equal. Nothing but an international
agreement among the commercial nations of
the world can maintain them upon an
equal" footing for the purposes of interna-
tional commerce. All experience has shown
this, and the inequality must continue to ex-
ist so long as the production Of gold shall be
| as limited as ii actually is-and so long as the
power OF production of silver is practically
"unlimited," as it actually Is. In this con-
dtion of the production of the precious
metals" there viii be and must be fluctuations
in value that cannot be overcome by resolves
of party conventions, or by the Acts OF any
one Congress or Parliament, or any other
power except redemption in gold or by inter
national agreement.

REGULAR ROBBERS, RoosT.
The Mysterious Killing of Man in

The Mysterious killing of Man in
Chicago Leads to n Discovery.
CHICAGO, July 6.-The body of the
man murdered in Milton avenue at an
early hour this morning was identified
to-day as that of Axel Lund, young
tailor. During the day the police
arrested Joseph Wright, William Phalen,
Edward McCabe, and Jerry and Cor
nelius Mccarthy for completely in the
murder.
Wright has made confession which
reveals the fact that there was regular
robbers roost' at 60 Milton avenue, in
front of which the murder was COM
mitted.
1t was fitted up with underground pas
sages in various directions to facilitate
the escape of the robbers in case of a
police raid. The neighbors have been so
terrorized by the gang that no one had
dared to inform the police of the doings
in the vicinity.
The police have for some time been try
ing to locate the gang. 1t is believed it
was by members of this gang that Lieu
tenant of Police Barcal was shot and seri-
ously wounded yesterday morning. He
found two men endeavoring to break into
house and tried to arrest them, but was
shot down.

The Process Cannot be Carried on Ex-
cept In Rooms at the Vineyard.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-Ever since
the revenue regulation of 1890 went into
effect, there have been continued disputes
between the sweet wine manufacturers
and the revenue authorities as to their
proper Interpretation. The Revenue
Commissioners decided to hold a con-
ference in Washington and settle the
question. Revenue Agent Eldridge, rep
West OF Stockton, representing the wine-
makers, attended the conference, which
was recently concluded.
Mr.. Eldrldge returned to this CITY to-
day. From him it was learned that the
conference had been satisfactorily con-
Quoted for all parties, and that while the
interests OF the Government were fully
protected by the new regulations formu-
lated, the Wlnemakers had been well pro-
Vlded for. The principal question dis
cusSed at the conference was the methods
in fortifying sweet wines.
One of the new regulations will pro-
vide that separate room must be as
signed in each winery for fortification
purposes. The fortification rooms will
be bonded. All sweet wines will be forti-
fed therein. Pipes will convey the
freshly made wine into vats located in
the bonded rooms, and the flow may be
stopped by the United States gaugers in
charge, who will have keys to the room
and the means Of shutting off the wine
whenever they SO desire. This is the
only method under which brandy with
tax unpaid will be allowed to be used in
fortifying sweet wines.
Another privilege the manufacturers
will have under the new regulations will
be that OF returning fortified wine to the
winery, where it will be allowed to re-
main until the full process of manufacture
has been completed.
The regulation providing that the forti-
fication process can not be used in any
winery not situated at vineyard will
be strictly enforced by the revenue Off
Gals, who are authorized to seize any
wine fortified with brandy with the tax
unpaid in any other establishment.
The regulations will be published Off
cially in a few days, and steps will be
taken to bond rooms in vineyard win
cries throughout the State.

BAKERSFIELD, July Con July Sd
Constables John Powers and Sam Gam,
with Mr.. Mccoy, iveryman of Le-
moore, went out in the Mojave Desert to
arrest some Indians charged with firing
a haystack. A fight ensued, and Powers
and Mccoy were killed, also two Indians
and two horses. Gann's mustache was shot
off, but he managed to get Powers horse,
his own having been killed, and rode to
the south fork of the Kern River for help.
Twelve men went back with him.
The bodies of the two Indians had
been buried in the sand. Powers throat
was cut from ear to ear, and the flesh
was torn from McCoy's face in shreds.
Just at dusk the Indians who were in
ambush opened fire on the party.
Powers was a single man. Mccoy
leaves a wife and six children. The re-
mains were taken to Weldon.
kiowa, rfng-leader of the Indians, is a
bad character. He and two of his sons
killed an Indian not long ago. He had a
personal grudge against Powers.
A posse now in pursuit numbers thirty
men. The Indians are well mounted and
armed, and it is feared that more blood
will be shed. There were six Indians in
the first party, but perhaps 100 more in
the vicinity, and several hundred be-
tween there and Inyo County.

A SANTA ROSA SENSATION.
Several Bloody and Torn Garment
niSCox-cr.od Nonz.

Several Bloody and Torn Garments
Discovered Near the City.
SANTA Rosa, July 6.-Quite sensation
has been caused here by the discovery
of several bloody and torn garments on
the banks of the laguna, a few miles west
of this city, and about sixty feet from the
crossing of the Guerneville branch of the
San Francisco and Northern Pacific
Railway. The man who made the dis
covery and brought the CORY articles to
the SherifFs office says a large pool of
blood was near the spot where the gar
ments were picked up, and the marks in
the sand indicated that a severe struggle
had taken place. A white shirt was torn
down the front, and when found turn
down collar was still fastened to the
band. In front are three gold studs of
neat pattern, An undershirt was also
torn and literally covered with blood. It
is evident the outside shirt had been re-
moved before the cutting as there were
no stains. Near the undershirt and a
little apart from the white shirt found
was large jack-knife, blade closed, two
whisky TASKS, pair of socks, shoes,
purple in color. The theory at the
Sheritf's office is that the owner of the
stained garments was either murdered
and buried in the laguna mud or else
badly wounded, and is in hiding. The
color of the handkerchief and the style of
shoes Indicate the owner was an Italian.

portant has been learned to date. Con-

have left without making themselves
known.
Conductor Boynton is firmly Of the
opinion that the others were entirely
consumed III the fire, and that his son,
who was the negligent tlagman supposed
to have been the cause of the wreck, was
one of the victims. The inquest may de-
velop some sensational facts.
