LONDON, Dec. 11-There is genera
feeling here, especially among statesmen
and lawyers, that the home secretary
should not go out of his way to release
Mrs. May brick just to oblige the United
States government. The only expIana-
tion is that they feel that England has
been treated cavalierly in many ways by
the United States. A politician to-day
pointed out that at heart Englishmen are
not pleased with the manner in witch the
British lions tail was twisted during the
recent presidential campaign. He said:
"Engl~nd is constantly held up to ridi-
cule and contempt to please the Irish, yet
your people ask Us to release legally con
victed criminals for no other reason than
that they are Americans"
The question is one dealing with Grim
inals only, but most people prefer TO look
at it as a political one. In the meantime
Lord RoSebery has been asked to inter
cede for Mrs. Maybrick, but it will re
quire all the eloquence at the command
of Secretary White to WIN him over, for
he has already shown that he regards
Mrs. Maybrick's Imprisonment as per-
fectly just Reports of her illness are
thicker and faster, aud each sue
teedlng bulletin places her nearer deaths
door. The home secretary is investigat-
ing the case, and If the convict is really
rs bad as is reported from outside her
prison walls she will probably be re.
leased. Meanwhile the reports tha. she
will not recover requires confirmation.

Want to Kuie or Rum.

BRUSSELS, Dec 9EThe bimetallist
conference are discussing whether or not
they shall unite In signing memoran
dunn on the obstruction offered by Great
Britain to determination OF the ques
tions before the conference. IF the con-
terence resumes its sittings after pro-
longed adjournme MT, such protest. 1t is
conceived, is likely to induce the British
government to present to the conference
decided policy through Its delegates
acting In unison thereon. The present
British delegation appears to have been
sent purposely 10 muddle the proceed
Ings There is no cohesion among the
British representatives either as to prln
ciple or procedure. Each delegate ap-
pears to act as an individual agent, ex
cept Sir G. Rivers Wilson and Sir Ere
mantle, deputy master of the British
mint, the latter of whom used his Official
position to declaim any responsibility
for the proposals presented by Roths-
child. Bertram Currie and Sir WillIsm
Hnuldsworth have not single idea in
common. and have strong mutual con-
tempt for each others views. Neither
General Strachy nor Sir Guilford Moles-
worth, the Indian delee ates. have official
orders as to the course to take. 1t has
been made clear the British government
has purposely avoided giving any in
structions tending to the common action
of its delegates upon any point whatever
It is now obvious this course was de-
signed to fool the conference in coming
to any general or special solution of the
silver question.

Evans and sonrag Again.

FRESNO, CAL, Dec. ga report has
reached here, by way of Lemoore, that
Evans aud Sontag have been seen in
White Deer valley, a secluded region
lying several miles back of Sampson S
fiat. Very few persons live in that To-
cality, 1t being merely stock range. 1t
was suspected that Evans and Sontag had
winter camp among the hills some
where near this place, and an effort was
made to trace them to it. Among those
owning caltle in that region is Edwin
Dooley. VINO had an exciting adventure
with the train ROBBERS Some sportsmen,
among whom was Rev Ledford. OF Le
moore, were hunting in the White Deer
valley, and left their horses with Dooley,
who turned them into the pasture With
his own ANIMALS. One of the horses es
capped and Dooley was searching for 1t.
While following trail a short distance
from the house, he heard shot and felt
bullet whistle past bIm. He turned
around and, looking up, saw Sontag and
Evans standing not more than 30 yards
away. They sccosted him in a harsh
manner and asked what be was doing
there, and whether or not he was taking
care of pack horses belonging TO the de-
tectlves. Dooley assured the bandits
that he had nothing al all to do with the
detectives, but in>the meantime he put a
convenient tree between the bandits and
himself, as be was fearful lest tine next
time their aim might prove more accur
ae. He said that Sontag still carried bis
arm In sling. due to the wound received
in fight with posse at Young's cabin,
and both men had their feet wrapped up
in gunny sacks, presumably to prevent
their making tracks.

The Fire at wallu,u.

UMATLLA, Or, Dec. 12-The fire
which threatened destruction to the town
of Wallula last night was gotten under
control alter four hours heroic work.
Had the wind been blowing the town
could not have been saved. The build
lngs destroyed were all Union Pacific
property. The large freig hthouse, con
tanning valuable freight and three box
cars loaded with merchandise constitute
the principal loss. 1t is supposed tramps
set the fire fo,. the purpose of robbery.
Two strangers, who We're seen carrying
away a lot of tobacco. sugar and other
p!under, were arrested on suspicion of
being the lncenGiaries. They gave their
names as Doe and Edwards. but from
papers found IN their possession, it was
learned their names were Dell aud Ter
wlIliger, and that they were discharged
soldiers.

The Diamond Excitement.

BOISE CRY, Idaho, Dec. 1.-THE dia
mond excitement Is growing more in
tense. The New York lapidary, to whom
specimens of the stones found on the
south bank of the Snake river, in Owy-
hee county, were submitted, reported that
they we're closely allied TO the diamond,
adding that little search in the soil
whence the specimens came might result
in unesrtbing genuine stones of real
worth. 10 1888 several geologists re-
ported that they had found upon the
shores of low. vanished sea, that once
rolled over the valley of the Snake, stones
that were in every particular similar to
diamonds, and these almost forgotten
statements have led even conservative
people to believe that diamond fields
may exist within 80 miles OF Boise.

Panic in Palouse city.

PULLMAN, Wash, Dec. 12-Almost a
panic reigns in Palouse City, owing 10
the prevalence of scarlet fever there.
Three deaths have occurred during the
past three days, two of them being the
only children of Banker Mccormack.
They were aged 4 and years. There
are many other cases. 1t IL claimed by
some physicians that dlphtherla also ex
lists, but this is denied by others. The
schools and churches have been closed,
children driven from the streets, and all
houses containing the disease are quar-
antined. At the theater, a company
billed to play to night was denied the
privilege. 1t is thought the disease is
under control. If it spreads further the
town will be quarantined.

Riot IN Wenatchee.

SPOKANE, Dec. "a terrible rio, oc..
CURED at Wenatchee last night, and for
three hours the town was in the control
of mob of frenzled graders and Italians
west OF here. on the Great Northern. The
trouble was started by drunken rail
road man and gambler, named Tom
GuiIand. He has worked on the road at
different times during the year, coming
to town to carouse every pay day. On
these occasions he stopped with woman
known as Susette This woman TOR
month past has been living with Guis
eppe Waco, IL faro dealer, who is a sort OF
boss among the Italians, of whom there
are great number On the road A week
ago Gullland came to town, aud after two
days bis money was all gone Yesterday
he was paid a small sum of money which
was coming TO him, ano, starting al a
crap game, wound up in the evening by
breaking the faro bank, being over $4,000
winner Susette heard the news, and
started for the place, saying she would
90 with the man who had luck.
Waco stopped her, threatening to kill
her. Gull and knocked him down ard
started off with the woman. Before they
had gone block Waco and dozen other
Italians set upon them and fierce fight |
ensued. The screams OF the woman and |
the shouts of GuIlland brought gang of |
graders to the rescue. Thereupon Waco
summoned more Italians and pitched
battle ensued. The railway men gathered
IN group, with Guliand and the
woman in the center, and began to re.
treat slowly, firing as they went and call
ing for belp as they fell back. Others
joined them and finally they made
stand. The Italians pressed Them closely
and it seemed for a time as though the
railroad men would be wiped out, but
eventually their so t,erior armament, most
IF them having revolVers, saved them.
Many, however, were badly cut by
Knives and wounded by stones and other
missiles thrown by the Italians Both
oaitIes gradually broke up into small
,ands and scattered through the town.
9uilland and the woman were spirited
.way to place OF safety. Fighting be-
" cen small parties continued in different ,
PARTS of the town until daylight. No :
