.Cowboy Terry" rs he is called, was walking
around on two canes this afternoon, and was
under guard. Later United States Deputy Mar

He insists that he had no revolver. The prose-
cution claim that he had Holden's revolver, aud
that he threw 1t away afterwards. To Posi-
IsTELLIGEScEE reporter he said:
You can say that when Poor and Holden came

in q scheme there, and when l found out all
wanted telegraphed to Holden and he met me
at Sumas and explained the situation and cir
cumstauces, and was to telegraph him when the
stuff was going over. IL would be one of the
greatest captures ever made, for there was So,

1t is utterly false that Holden and Poor knew
that I was bringing these Cinnamon into the

Terry said he would go to Seattle, and would
waive examination and plead guilty to bringing

row Escape on o Novel Decision.
TACOMA, July 29-[Special THE reasons as
signed by Judge Haniord, OF the United States
district court, in ordering the jury to bring in
verdict of dismissal in the case of Benson s.
Davis, land locator, charged with perjury are.
perhaps, novel. Benson is alleged to have
shown two Eastern women good timber land in
Chehalis county last winter, and was paid by
them Tor selecting claims. Subsequently it
transpired that the land which he showed the
women had already been filed upon, and that
Benson in designating the claims before the
land office officials indicated mountain land,
which at the time was covered with six feet of
snow The women had Benson nrraigned for
swearing at the land Office that he had been
over the land with the women, when in fact
they did not get mp in the mountains at all
The United States grand jury indicted Benson,
but yesterday when the United States district
attorney attempted to introduce q certain
pamphlet, purporting to be the instruc-
tons of the land office, to the
receiver, the court held that unless it could be
proven eonclusively that the documents were
authentic, the case would have to be dismissed.
The authenticity of the pamphlets could not be
proven, and the jury was instructed to bring in
verdict of dismissal. Before giving this rul-
ing Judge Hanford oyerruled the demurrer of
the defendant to the indictment, on the ground
that the statutes required no such oath as Ben
son was accused of having taken.
In making this decision Judge Hanford held
that 1t was not right that a mans guilt or inno-
cence Of charge of perjury should be held to
rest on the issuance of certain books of instruc-
tons by the land department. He commented
upon the confusion resulting from government
functions, by the executive branch assuming the
powers of the legislative in the issuing of in
structions, and the judicial in determining
questions of fact.

visit to China, has been granted certificate of
residence as provided for by the act of the last
California legislature, requiring all Chinese
residents in the state, after March 20, 1892, to
have such certificates. Ling's application was
the first on file.
Dispatches from Bombay state that there have
been heavy rains and serious floods, that the
residency roads have been damaged and sixty
miles of railroad injured by washouts. The
rivers in the district of Poonah are swollen and
thousands of acres of land submerged.

State Geological SURVEYS.

TACOMA, July %. Especial. when the worko
the geological survey was suspended by the late
ruling of the governor, the secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce addressed a letter to the
secretaries of state of all the states asking for
information in regard to their experiences with
geological surveys. The inquiries were whether
survey had been made, If so whether by bu-
reaus, commissions, or state geologists, wha.
they had cost, aud what the practical results
had been, If any. The replies show that the
work whore done in other states, was conducted
by scientists and not by politicians, and has
been of great value. Thus in California the sur
vey was given into the charge of Professor J. D.
Whitney, the famous geologist of Yale; in Ken
lucky, to the noted scientist, David Dale Owen,
who began the work and was succeeded by Pro-
lessor N. 8. Shaler, now of Harvard university;
In Minnesota, Professor N. H. Winchell directed
the survey. In all of these states the work was
put beyond the control of DESIGNING politicians

Taylor Holden at wooiey on Tuesday, were
brought TO Seattle yesterday By Deputy United
States Marshal Harry Bigelow. Yesterday even
ing the three first named Cinnamon were
brought before United States Commissioner
c. d. Emery for examination. They each
pleaded guilty 70 smuggling their way into the
United states. They said they paid white man
TO take them from Canada to Seattle. There
was nothing said about any opium being in the
party. Judge Emery was convinced that the
report that the Cinnamon had 81 900 worth OF the
drug In coneealment was unfounded.
The Judge has suspended sentence until the
rest OF the Cinnamon are tried, which viii take
place some time during the week They viii be

Collector of Customs Bradshaw swore out q
warrant in Judge Emery's court yesterday
charging J. E. Terry with aiding and abetting
the smuggling OF Cinnamon into the United
States. Deputy United States Marshal Bigelow
left for Wooley on the o'clock train with the
warrant and will return with Terry as soon as
the latter is able to come. The maximum pun
ishnent for this crime is a sentence of one year
In the penitentiary and fine of 1900.

left Sedro this morning for Seattle. where they

ton laws Before they are taken away their

pected that good interpreter viii be able TO

of the shooting. II the Chinsmens
testimony goes TO show beyond a doubt that
Baird commenced shooting first, il is probable
that the district attorney of skagit county win
file an information against Baird and have him
placed under bonds, preliminary to a trial for
murder.
The lack OF good interpreter at the examina-
ton here was keenly felt, and it is believed that
these Cinnamon can tell something OF great i'm
portance concerning the case.

DEVELOPMENT OF GOLD FEVER.
Miners Reports OF Rich Discoveries

Keeps Up Excitement ut Ellensburg.
ELLESsBURG, July 2o.-IspeciaLl News from
the several mining districts tributary to Ellens-
burg continues most satisfactory. Samples of
ore from half dozen new discoveries have been
tested this week. Among the lot was high
grade of galena ore carrying sixty ounces of sill
Yer per ton; grey copper ore, carrying $115 in
gold and sixty ounces in silver per ton; also an
timonial silver yielding Sos in precious metals
per ton, and free milling quartz from the Big Blue
bonanza, over forty feet thick, averaging up
ward of SO gold per ton. While the most re-
liable mining men assert that the placer gold
discoveries in Menastash canyon are not sufi-
GENTLY developed to warrant final judgment as
to richness and extent, the fact that fifteen
ounces in coarse gold nuggets, the largest
worth s65, was mined in that re-
gion by the Nelson boys in the early
SOS, serves well to confirm the growing
belief that between Ellensburg and the
Natchez river will rapidly be developed one of
the greatest mineral producing districts on the
Pacific slope. prospector in today from this
canyon brought in quartz which was assayed at
once and went $l63, mostly gold, to the ton. He
reports the ledge about twenty miles from here.
He says it is well defined and wide. Another
prospector from the new quartz finds of that re-
gion was in today with a sample of rock from
there that goes between $1,000 and 81, 100 to the
ton. Excitement still runs high.

II is learned that Cowboy Terry and three &C

Two or three weeks ago Terry was
in Seattle aud endeavored to engage

IL. His intention was to smuggls it in con-
cealed Ia u load of hay, aud have ii sidetracked
at Rayenna park. As such quantity Of opium
is worth $4,000 or s2o,0oo, 1t is evident that
Terry must have eoniederates In the neighbor-
hood OF Seattle through which II could be sold.
Terry, IN a moment of excitement, made men,
ton OF his knowledge of q quantity being
seereted. but afterward denied It. His prepara-
tons for storage give some color to HIS admission
and bear out the rumors which are current.
