General Ruger Excused from Sitting as
Member OF the Tribunal.
WALLA WALLA, WASH, July 16.-The
general court-martial to try Colonel @.
E. Compton, Fourth cavalry, recon-
vened this morning. The attorney for
Colonel Compton challenged Brigadier-
General T. H. Ruger as member of the
court, on the ground that Ruger had re-
ceived the report of the facts from Col
onel Compton. Ruger admitted form
ing an opinion, and stated that in Gen
eral Summers report there was state
ment unfavorable to Colonel Compton.
The challenge was sustained, and Cen
eral Ruger was excused from attendance.
Judge Advocate Mcclure then read the
charge and specifications against Colonel
Compton.
The charge is neglect Of duty to the
prejudice of good order and military
discipline. The specifications allege
that Compton, after large body of men
of his command ON the night of April
oath. Joined in seditious demonstra-
tion against both the military and civil
authorities, neglected to take measures
to ascertain the parties who had taken
part in the mutiny, and after being
warned by the sheriff and district attor-
ney that there was well-founded rumor
Of an intended attack on the Jail by SOL
diers for the purpose of lynching Hunt,
Colonel Compton failed to take meas
ures to prevent the lynching.
The specifications also allege that after
being informed of the lynching on the
night of April oath, Colonel Compton
neglected to order sufficient measures to
apprehend or detect the men concerned
in the lynching.
After reading the charge, Colonel
Compton pleaded not guilty. Sheriff
Mcfarland, of Walla Walla county, was
the first witness called by the prosecu-
ton. He related the facts connected
with the lynching, and the court ad;
iourned until tomorrow.

SAN DIEGO, July 16.-The interest and
excitement felt throughout the city over
the killing of Brown, seaman OF the
Charleston, and the beating Of his
mates, do not subside, and are not only
shared in by the more excitable ele-
ment, but by responsible, law-respecting
and sober citizens. All last night knots
of men could be seen upon the corners
OF the downtown streets, discussing the
matter, and there was plainly an under
current of determination that justice
shall be done to the offenders. The fact
is generally known that two crowds of
organized men, numbering about fifty,
were banded at two places in the city,
and at the word from any leader would
have joined for an attack upon the Jail.
The testimony introduced before the
coroner's jury today shows that the So
called deputy marshals were entirely to
blame for the trouble, Breedlove, the
leader, having stated the night before
the trouble, that he proposed to take
the sailors next day or some would get
shot. Marshal Gard, on the witness
stand today, testified that Breedlove
and his posse acted entirely without his
authority that Breedlove was not a
deputy United States marshal, nor had
ever been deputized. Breedlove wears a
deputy United States marshal badge
and still claims to be such.
Neither Webb nor Gillespie have yet
been arrested, although warrants are
out for both.
About fifty witnesses have been ex-
amined by the coroner, and theca will
probably go to the jury tomorrow: Feel
ing is SO strong against the prisoners
that they are kept locked in their cells,
instead Of being brought into the court
room. Trouble is feared tonight, and
extra guards have been placed over
them.
Marine burial services were held over
Brown on board the Charleston this
morning, and his remains were then
brought ashore and sent to San Francis-
CO by this afternoon s train.

Regulation for . Criminal.

Governor Pennoyer Refuses to Honor q
Regulation for Criminal.
SALEM, Ore., July 16.-Governor
Pennoyer, this evening, refused to issue
a warrant for the arrest of Adam Cush-
ing, upon requisition from Governor
Ferry, of Washington. Gushing was
brought here last April from Nebraska
on requlsition from Gov. Pennoyer to
the governor of Nebraska. His crime was
receiving stolen property, and after trial
at Portland he was acquitted. Ferry's
requisition is for the same crime, COM
mitted in Washington, and Governor
Pennoyer refused the requisition on the
ground that Gushing did not flee. He
was brought here to answer for crime,
and in this case the constitutional pro-
vision had no application requiring the
surrender of the fugitive. The governor
says it would be an imposition to take
advantage Of Cushing's forced presence
in this state to subject him to arrest for
an alleged crime committed elsewhere.
Governor Pennoyer holds that Gushing
should be permitted to leave the state a
free man since he had been tried and
acquitted here.

Associated Press Dispatches.


ST. PAUL, July l6.-A Pioneer-Press
special from West Superior, Wis.,, says !:
A windstorm OF terrific violence swept
over Superior today, accompanied by
heavy rain, and the air was heavily
charged with electricity. The storm
lasted only a short time, but in that
time did great damage to property, be-
sides taking at least five lives and in
iuring a number OF persons.
During the height of the storm, an
alarm of fire was turned in from the
fifth ward, and the department re-
sponded, to find large, new, three
story, frame hotel, in course OF con-
.struction on Third street near Lamborn
avenue, mass OF ruins. The structure
was blown down, and the cry went up
that the wreck was
THE TOMB OF MANY MEN.
The news flashed over the city and
hundreds of citizens rushed to the spot
in spite of the pouring rain. The citi-
zens rushed in and assisted the firemen
in the cause of rescue. The work is still
in progress, fresh men taking the places
of those who give up through fatigue.
Fully 5000 people were at the ruins at a
late hour tonight. Following is
LIST OF THE DEAD.
John Laur, Charles Lucius. Herman
Paussey, John schofield and an unknown
man.
Among the more seriously injured, are
John Brown, John Long, William Tenn
ple and Dick Clark. Brown and Long
will probably die.
Women ran about regardless OF the
rain and mud. wringing their hands and
CRYING, filled with the terrible fear that
husbands or brothers had been buried
in the ruins.
An eye witness OF the disaster says he
saw a crowd of workmen run into the
building to seek shelter, from the storm.
Fully thirty or forty men must have
been inside.
DAMAGE IN ALL DIRECTIONS
This disaster was the central feature,
but much damage was done in all direc-
tions. A steel hoisting and conveying
apparatus employed by the Silver Greek
and the Morris and Ohio coal companies
was badly damaged. A large frame
building was blown down at the corner
of Third and Lower streets, South Supe-
rior, and number Of other buildings
leveled, but no casualties occurred.

Secretary Foster Compelled to Draw
From the National Banks.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-The secretary
OF the treasury today issued call on
the national bank depositors fol nearly
$4,O0O,00O of the government funds in
their possession. This amount is dis
tributed among forty-two banks, and is
to be transferred to the different sub
treasures between now and August 18th.
Twelve of these banks are discontinued
altogether as the depositaries. These are
the last of the so-called Surplus" or
inactive banks authorized during the
administration of Secretary Fairchild.
There were nearly 300 repositories,
holding $47 900, 900 Of government funds.
Under the policy inaugurated by Win
dom, and continued by Foster, the num-
Der has been reduced to thirty and the
holdings to $15,O0O,00 There will be
no further reduction, as the department
is of the opinion that the deposits have
now reached the minimum amount
requisite for the public service.

BERING SEA COMMISSIONERS.
They Begin Their Investigation of Il
Seal Question at Victoria.

They Begin Their Investigation of the
Seal Question at Victoria.
VICTORIA, B. c., July 16.-A deputa-
ton of sealing men and those interested
in sealing, waited upon Sin George
Baden-Powell and DIR. Dawson, on board
the. steamer Danube, this morning.
After the presentation of a memorial
setting forth the facts of the case and
the loss sustained by the prohibition
of sealing, an informal converse
ton and general interchange Of
ideas ensued, in which Sir George
and DR.. Dawson asked a number of
leading questions on the subject of seals
and sealing generally. The sealers SUBJ
mitted that they had not received any
official information of the closing of the
sea and consequently had gone on pre-,
pairing. Sir George said 'tMy view of
these men-of-war going up there is'that
they are not going for the purpose of
making seizures, but to tell the schoon-
ers that we were going to stop sealing in
their interests"
In. reply to query as to the powers of
the commission, Sir George said they
had full power of inquiry into sealing
through the whole course OF the North
Pacific ocean.
OTs D6WbOu Hdlu. OoA Y OAAhA uiieSo
there is any fear of the fur seal being
exterminated, because ! don't think
that it is an animal that can be ex-
terminated"
Mr.. Hall was OF the opinion that the
agreement to kill 1900 seals for the
natives on the island, was bit OF job
berry. DR.. Dawson thought 1900 barrels
Of flour would have been more to the
point.
Sir George promised to take the ques-
ton Of compensation and other matters
into consideration, and include it in
their report. The commission, how
ever, had no power to promise any
thing. Their mission was simply to in
quire and report.
Sir George and DIR. Dawson subse-
quently to their conference with the
sealers, visited Collector Milne and had
long chat with him on the sealing
question. Mr.. Milne showed them that
he had no authority to refuse clearing
vessels for Bering sea, and therefore did
not do so. Mr.. Milne also gave the Wis
itors list of the schooners clearing
from Victoria, their tonnage and equip
ment.
They leave tonight on the steamer
Danube, but will make a longer stay in
Victoria on their return.

The Alsace-Lorraine Passport Question
Sprung-A Ministerial Crisis Impend-

OF American Pork.

PARIS, July 16.-In the chamber of
deputies today, M. Laur lBoulangist)
revived the question OF the Alsace-Lor-
raine passport regulations by interpret
lating the government as to the manner
in which the passport regulations are
enforced.
Ribot. minister of foreign affairs, de-
clared that nothing had occurred to
warrant an explanation.
Laur resumed with violent attack
on the German regulations, declaring
that vexatious restrictions were placed
upon French commercial travellers IN
Germany, while Germans in France
were not restricted.
A vote decided favoring discussing the
Interpolation, 2S6 to 203. This result
was due to the division of the Right,
the Boulangists and Radicals against
the cabinet. .4
The ministry held council this even
ing and, it is reported, has resolved to
ask the chamber to adjourn sine die. II
this plan OF shelving the question is
proposed, ministerial crisis will ensue.
The cabinet will demand vote of con-
fidence in the chamber.
The chamber today passed the final
clause of the tariff bill, and also ap-
proved the government bill modifying
the tariff act of 1881, and fixing the du-
ties on American salt pork, ham, bacon,
etc., at 20 francs per 100 kilos.
LONDON, July .16.-The Paris cores
pondent Of the Times says the decree
resembling the prohibition on American
pork takes immediate effect. The gov
ernment gave the chambers assurances
that precautions had been taken against
trichinosis. France thus hopes to escape
retaliation, possibly, under the McKin-
lev law.
