has been subject to Birdie. His death
was due to old age. His skin will be

IOWA PROHIBITION.
The Constitutional Amendment
Found to he Unconstitutional.

'Ene COnStatuthOnAl ArheuO1neul
Found to be Unconstitutional.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 12.-Judgt
Conrad of the district court on Monday
listened to an application of J. "A. Harvey
of the state temperance alliance for d
writ of mandamus to compel the secrcta
ry of state to certify to hm copy of tn,
Iowa constitutional amendment relating
to the prohibtory law.
At the time of Harvey's application,
secretary Mcfarland refused to certify
to the constitutional amendment on the
ground A that the supreme court had
decided that the amendment was uncon
s,itutional. In the opinion rendered by
Judge Conrad he sustained the secretary
of state, holding that in view OF the SUI
preme courts ruling the secretary could
not be compelled to certify to the consti
tutional amendment.
Notice of appeal was given and an ct
fort will be made to carry the case TO the
supreme court. Whether or not the su
preme court will reopen the case is d
question that will be ioIlow we'd with great
interest by the temperance societies

WAsHISGroS CIrY, April s.-News re-
ccived at the war department. of the result
of the efforts being made by Western
army officers to carry out the provisions
of the army appropriation bill authorizing
the enlistment of 1900 Indian recruits, is
very discouraging. The officers report
that the Indians will not enlist in the
infantry under any circumstances,
as they abhor walking. They will
not enlist in the cavalry except
as scouts, because they do not care to bind
themselves to five years. service nor to be
subject to removal to distant parts of the
country. Then, too, they want their
women with them, and great majority of
the bucks are physically unfit for military
service. 1t is doubted whether a single
Indian company can be recruited in the
West, but the outlook in the South is more
hopeful.
At Mount Vernon Barracks, Ala, where
the Apache Indians who led the Geronimo
campaign are placed, it is said that all the
Indians, some thirty-five or forty. are
about to enlist. These Indians are said to
be progressing rapidly in the path of civili-
cation, and the creditable fact is reported
that the renowned Edward Geronimo, who
was for years the terror OF the West, is q
prominent member in local circles.

A strange CasS Of Insanlty.

WALLA WALLA, April Especial. This
afternoon two men ut McCalley's mill
were greatly surprised.to see q man crawl
through cellar window. It being dark,
they could not distinguish who the person
was. They went upstairs and were fol-
lowed by the man. When they reachod
the floor of the mill they recognized him
as Wilson. who disappeared from the mill
last Saturday. One Of the men informed
A. McCalley, who went to the mill and
spoke to Wilson, asking him where he had
been. Wilson replied: 81 cannot tell. =
He then said that he had been over Snake
river; that he left Walla Walla bccause of
the receipt Of letter threatening to kill
him if he remained here. He said he
walked to Riparia and then returned. All
the time he was talking with McCalley he
seemed to be very excited, and his eycs
had q CLASSY stare. He Was continually
looking around as if afraid some ons wao
after him. He seemed almost exhausted,
and his clothes were dusty and torn. 1tio
supposed he has been wandering about the
country without any food at all for the
past four or five days. He was arrested
and taken before the superior court for
examination as to his sanity. On the
examination be would talk nationally for
a few moments and then get OF rambling
talk about the warning letter he claimed
to have received. Examining physiciaus
decided that he might entirely recover il
a few days.

TACOMA, April ESPECIAL. l-The News
this evening publishes q threc-column
story, the main facts of which were given
in the Posr-ISTKIMGExcKR this morning,
telling of the relations of County Auditor
Hollis with Miss Martha Jane Stipp.
daughter of Judge Stipp, of Illinois. Miss
Stipp was formerly copyist in the audi
tors Office, but is now said to be violently
insane. About month ago she left the
auditors office.
The young lady is credited by the Ners
with having declared her intention to run
the auditors office for Hollis when the
latter was elected. She would, she said, ho
the administration. The News also pub
fishes letters said to have passed between
Auditor Hollis and Miss Stipp, in which
the auditor refers to her as "Mer-
tie" and proposes rides and
walks. Mrs. Hollis makes
statement to the effect that Miss Stipp
drew her husband into the estranaement.
She with difficulty drove Miss Stipp from
her home, where she had been boarder.
Mrs. Hollis further states that Hollis sug.
gested divorce, but she refused to cOn-
sent, saying if she could not
have him, Miss Stipp could not.
Mrs. Hollis. returning from thirteea
days outing, says she found that Mrs
Stipp had been stopping in her house with
Mr.. Hollis. This was last june, since
which time, Mrs. Hollis says, her husband
has treated her coldly. She could not, she
says, win him from Miss Stipp.
Relatives of Miss Stipp are coming T.
take her home.

Of the latest message from Premier di
Rudini, which was the subject of consider
alton at cabinet meeting today. They
are inclined to think it indicates early
settlement of the diplomatic war. The
milder tone assumed by Di Rudini in the
message to the Marquis Imperiali, it is
considered here, is due 10 the clear state
ment of our governments position by
Secretary Blaine, supplemented by the able
presentation of the case at Rome by
Porter, United States minister 1t is
reported that at the cabinet meeting .
letter was received from either Baron Fava
or Marquis ImperiaH, intimating that the
recall of the minister was really but leave
of absence. Baron Fava is still i'll at his
residence.
The Post says: It is probable the neces-
sity of law making it specific nllsde-
meanor to violate the provisions Of a
treaty with another nation, thereby giving

president to congress.
Blaine's note to the Marquis Imperali
was yesterday cabled to Rome. The
Marquis di Rndini cabled reply last
night, directing Imperiali to hand it to
Blaine. This was done this morning. It
was in Italian. and had to be translated.
When this was done Blaine, taking all the
documents, proceeded to the White House,
where the cabinet was in session.
Attorney General Miller has received a
telegram from the United States district
attorney at New Orleans, saying he is en-
gagged in the investigation Of the recent
killing of Italians, in accordance with in
structions from Washington City, and will
forward his report as promptly as possible.

Similar scenes occurred in another strike In
the summer OF 1SSS, when tipple was burned,
several men were severely beaten and Pinkerton
detectives were at last brought in to restore
peace. The workmen were beaten, but their
union remained, and so did the Huns, imbued
with the revolutionary socialism which their
few educated fclIow-countrymen had preached
to them. Another strike occurred last year, and
fresh riots were caused by the Huns-all the for
eigners OF that district are roughly described IS
Huns. Some OF them were sent to Jail for the
ofense, but their turbulent spirit remains un-
curbed. They have not learned English, and
are generally too ignorant and too far advanced

vengeance. as the present riots prove. They
preserve their own national customs, live cheap

together, their difference in language making
them SO.
It is possible that the present riots have been
melted by some OF the English-s peaking leaders.
who keep cautiously in the background while
the Huns riot, beat, burn aud kill,
but the bulk OF the Englishspeaking
workmen of the coke country are law
abiding. As rule, when the Huns break out,
the labor leaders are poweriess to restrain them,
however hard they might try. Thus the operat-
ors are paying dear penalty for importing alien
laborers, and know not how to get rid of them.
The Huns enjoy prosperity in America which
is unknown to them in their own county. They
save the greater part of their earnings with =
view to returning home to live in luxury. But
having once tasted American freedom they soon
return to this country for good The coke
operators will have to suffer the consequences of
their folly.
