The Grand Jury Makes Report of It's
Investigations.
WALLA WALLA (Wash.), June 9.-The
Grand Jury impaneled to investigate
the lynching of A. G. Hunt by soldiers
on April 25th made a report to the Su-
perior Court to-day. The report says, in
part:
1--WE are satisfied that there are num-
Der of soldiers against whom insufficient
evidence has been procurable TO warrant
an indictment that are equally guilty
with those indicted.
"There is no doubt that Colonel Comp
ton did not believe his troops would
make an attempt upon the County Jail.
although the prosecuting attorney and
the Sheriff interviewed Colonel Compton
regarding the reports which reached them
Of the premeditated lynching of Hunt
But the attack on the Sheriff and
his prisoner Hunt on the night
before the lynching and the
open defiance of the commissioned
officer, supported by guard, should
have been sufficient warning to him OF
what might be expected, and that
negligence existed in not taking ample
precaution to keep his men under direct
control pending the excitement over the
shooting. Colonel Compton neglected to
take proper measures to prevent his men
from appearing at the jail, while the pre-
caution would have prevented the out
rage.
"If the Sheriff had placed himself and
his guards on the inside OF the iail
corridor, and used the means within his
power to protect his prisoner, the attempt
to lynch him would have been frus-
trated."
The report also recommends that a
claim for the expenses of the investiga-
ton and trial be made against the
Government, and that the soldiers be ex-
changed to another post.

a "Portrait'' Company Disbarred from

NEW YORK, June 9.-Budzzileni is the
name Of the manager Of the New York
branch of the Pacific Portrait Company,
the main office of which is in Chicago.
The company sends out circulars Offering
to make crayon portraits from photo
graphs free of charge, the only consider
alton being that they shall be exhibited
where friends of the one photographed
can see them.
After the photograph is received another
circular is sent out, saying that such nice
portraits should have proper frame,
which the company will supply for So to
$40. If there is no bite at the
second circular, the owner of the
photograph is not apt to hear again from
the company. Sometimes they get the
photographs back, sometimes they don't,
and sometimes their money brings them
nothing.
The Postoffice Department now re-
fuses to deliver any registered letters to
BudZillenj, or pay him money orders,
and the letters are returned the writer,

The portrait concern was origi-
nally started in San Francisco by

his headquarters in Chicago, where be
has just been indicted for using the

Terrible Effects of lightning.

BERLIN, June "a strange and fatal
accident occurred at Templehof this
morning in the presence of the Emperor,
two grenadiers being killed. While the
men were being put through their exer-
cises, vivid flash of lightning hurled a
number of them to the ground. The
officer in command, Captain Won Quasi,
and three soldiers were knocked insensi-
bic. Two of the latter died almost inn
mediately afterward, and the Captain and
another soldier were dangerously in
jured. a horse also was killed. 1t is
supposed the rifle barrels and bayonets
of the soldiers attracted the electricity
which caused such fatal results.

\ Sensation Caused by the Publication
of a Letter Written by Him.
BERLIN, June "a sensation has been
caused by the publication in the Life of
Duncker" of a letter from the late EN-
peror Frederick to Duncker, his political
adviser, dated June IA, 1863, at which time
the conflict between the King and the
Prussian Parliament was at its hight and
about one week after Fredericks famous
speech at Dantzic, in which he publicly
refused to be identified with the then re-
cent acts of the Ministry. The letter re-
pudiates the suggestion that his action
was the outcome of a secret alliance with
the Progressist party. Frederick says he
does not fear the publication of the CORE
spondence with his father, which the
Progressists threaten, because he alone
had possession of the letters, unless land
this would not surprise him) the system
of Bismarcllian espionage had secured
copies. He declares his powerlessness to
prevent any party claiming him. He
has no desire to be in opposition to the
leader, and he has no Communication
with the Waldeck party, but he is in
strong sympathy with the Freisinnige

Special to the REooRp-UN1oS.


CHICAGO, June 9.-The talk for and
against the confirmation of Maxwell as
Chief of the horticultural Bureau kept a
couple Of the Directors busy to-day. The
California State Commission advocated
MaXwell's cause, and the gentleman
himself entered the list personally. The
opposition was voiced principally by a
committee Of the American Association of
Nurserymen. The latter asserted that
Maxwell represented the wine and citrus
fruit interests, and implied that he was
disposed to slight other departments of
horticulture.
Maxwelrs fate, it is expected, will be
settled tomorrow.
The California State Commission laid
before the Ways and Means Committee
their plans for the State exhibit. They
wanted to construct a building similar to
the old missions, and obtain the priyi-
lege of displaying and selling fruits,
wines and other products of a perish
able nature. They represented they did
not desire TO enter into q lucrative buSi-
ness, but simply conduct a club which
would pay the expenses Of continually
reDlenishing the display.
The commission was informed that the
matter would have to be settled, as other
privileges, by the payment of percent
age of the receipts for sales. The use of a
State building was matter for the State
Commissioners.

ST. LOUIS, June S.-Under the head of
"Cyeeds Crumbling," an evening paper
quotes Rev. Frank G. Tyrell, pastor of
the Central Christian Church of this city,
as saying that all signs point to the disso-
luton of the orthodox creeds. Mr.. Tyrell
pointed out forcibly the discussion in re-
gard to matters of belief and faith which
have shaken the Protestant churches,
and from this drew conclusions that the
creedS are crumbling and will ere long
disappear.
He cannot, he says, accept the belief of
the Trinity of Jesus, and as to why he
believed the Protestant creeds are failing
he replied that one had but to notice how
teachers of the gospel are demanding the
right TO make their own deductions, pro-
vided they acknowledge the divinity of
Christ.
TyrelPs statement created a sensation
among orthodox ministers.
