place where no human life is safe where
the government may be looked to in
vain for the exercise of legitimate and
needful authority.
Toledo Blade: The report shows that
the courts have been for years more or
less under outside control, and Justice
in any case in which these outsiders
might be interested was not to be ex-
pected. The citizens are blameable that
they did not years ago correct this mon
strous condition of affairs.
LONDON, May 6.-The st. James Ca
zette, commenting on the finding of the
New Orleans grand jury, in the lynch
ing case, says: The jury has done Just
what might have been expected, and
its findings possess polemlcal interest
which, it may be feared, the Marquis
Di Rudini will not duly appreciate. If
Secretary Blaine sticks to his guns and
insists on the constitutional authority
pronounced, on the issue that the con-
stltution provided no machinery for the
governments going behind the decision
OF the New Orleans jury, his position
will be still more unsatisfactory to Italy
than it was at the beginning.
New YORK, May 6.-Speaking of the
result of the deliberations of the New
Orleans grand jury, Editor Barsottu, of
II Progresso, today remarked: ''It is
what we thought would be done. 1t is
an outrage that these men should es-
cape, for what they have DONE" Among
the Italian residents the same sentiment
is expressed

TURNED LOOSE.
Good Work BY the Police Goes For
Naupht.

NduSAI.
There were a lot of disgusted and
angry policemen about the city, and
especially at police headquarters, yester-
day. They We're angry because failed
failed OF sustaining charge against
Lee, Spring and Shaub, the three men
arrested by Officer Vignes, Sunday
night, for robbing old man Carter, on
Ducommun street. The prosecution
had been boasting of the cearness OF it's
case, and indeed the average spectator
who listened to the evidence, was of the
opinion that at least two of the defend
ants would be held to answer. But
such was not the case; the4three were
discharged upon motion of their attor-
ney. A second charge had been preferred
against Lee, together with an outside
party named George Tepanier, and at
$3.50 a. m. they were served with war
rants charging them with taking $40
from William Bertram early Sunday
evening, after the return of the picnic
party from Verdugo. Bertram posi-
lively identified one Of the men as the
one who had robbed him, the robbery
having taken place on the Downev ave-
nue. bridge. This charge was also
quashed, however, and in the afternoon
both men were released from custody.
Comment was quite free among citi-
zens last evening, and the general opin-
ION concerning the matter appeared to
be that there was screw loose some
where, though no one seemed to care to
assume the responsibility OF locating it.

A LUNATIc's FREAK.
Fourteen Hours UP a. Tall Poplar Tree.
Then Fell OFF.


SANTA Rosa, CAL, May 6.-Great ex-
element prevailed yesterday and last
night over the presence of lunatic on
the top of a tall poplar tree. The mans
name is Zalezzi, Swiss, who was
brought here to be examined and sent to
Napa. He escaped from his friends at
1880 p. M, Skinned up the tree and
took position on a small limb fifty feet
from the ground. Every effort was
made to get him down, and thousands
of people were attracted to the spot.
Ladders were obtained from the fire de-
partment and raised to the tree, but no
one could get near enough to throw a
rope around his body. AS night ap-
preached rain began falling heavily,
and the poor fellow kept his perch till
4 o'clock this morning, when he fell TO
the ground, fifty feet below, having
been in the tree fourteen hours. A
canvas had been stretched below, and
that saved his life. His arm and
shoulder were fractured, besides receiv-
ing internal injuries.

The report of the international COM
mittee shows that the association owns
buildings and real estate to the value OF
over $l2, ,250 900, the total indebtedness
being less than 50 800, 900.
Great interest was manifested in that
part of the report in regard to the extern
sion of the work of the association to
mission fields. On this point the report
considers that its field for work in mis-
sion lands is now open, and so far
as it has been attempted the results
seem to establish its value and
usefulness. General foreign missionary
work, suggested by some of the associa-
tions, is looked upon with alarm. Upon
this question the committee consulted
with the Kansas state committee, with
in whose jurisdiction efforts to promote
general missionary work seem to
be most prevalent. 1t was gen.
orally agreed by the committee that
the associations of the country
ought not in a technical and legal
sense, be connected with general mis-
sionary movement. The committee does
not oppose missionary work, but advo-
Gates every reasonable project looking to
better knowledge of Christian missions.
and securing support for them. 1t en-
courages all young men who exhibit
willingness to accept work of the church
upon foreign fields.
The report makes many recommends
tions, among which are: Observance of
the second Sunday in November and the
following week for prayer for associa-
tion work; the establishment of fund
for the provision of those who having
given their lives to association work,
have become incapacitated to earn

A BOY INCENDIARY.
He Says His Father Comm anded Him to
Commit Arson.

HoLMsTER, Cal, May 6.-The house
of William Kelly was burned last month,
and today Charles Mankins, thirteen
years old, was examined upon the
charge OF arson, for having set fire to it.
He had heretofore said that on the day
of the fire he saw Mexican near the
place. Public opinion fixed on this,
imagining the Mexican as the guilty
party. The finding OF pistol
which was believed to have
been destroyed with the house, in
young Mankin's possession, however,
caused his arrest, and upon being ques-
toned he admitted his guilt. Today he
testified that he set fire to the building
because commanded to do so by his
father, George Mankins, and he seems
to think that in obeying his father he
did nothing wrong. He was held to
answer and his father was arrested. The
father denies that he was connected
with the burning, or knew anything
about it.

CLINTON'S CLOTHES.
Captain Hollands Inquiries for
Them at the MOrgue.

T. ]. Holland, Captain of the United
States Life-saving Station near the Cliff
House, visited the Morgue yesterday to in
quire what disposition had been made of the
clothing and money taken from the body of
Henry Clinton, late of the station, who was
run over and killed by train of the Park
and Ocean Railroad two weeks ago. He ex-
pressed himself very forcibly to Deputy
Bridgwood that Citations effects should have
been taken charge of by the Coroner.
Although shown a receipt from the Public
Administrator for all of Clinton's property
Holland seemed much dissatisfied and called
the Coroner's deputies lot of usurpers and
said that if any of them ever came out TO the
station he would make it very sutry for
them. He said that his men had desired
Clinton'S clothes as mementOs and further
stated that the Coroner had no right to take
Clinton's things as he was Government
emplOye.
This last claim of Hollands is admitted
by the Coroner, but as Holland did not OBJ
ject when Deputy Bridgwood took posses
sion of them it was supposed that he was
willing that the Coroner should take care of
them. Holland went off TO try and recover
the clothes from the Public Administrator.
