HETHERINGToN ACQUITTED.
The American Lieutenant Released from
the Charge of Murder.


WASHINGTON, April 11.-News has
been received at tho navy department
that Lieutenant J. Fl. Hetherington,
United States navy, has been acquitted
on the charge of killing Mr.. Robinson,
an Englishman, at Yokohama, about
two months ago.
A cablegram from Commander John
r. Bartlett, commanding the Marion,
gave briefly the information that Heth-
erington had been acquitted by the con-
he was tried. This action settles the
case finally, as there is no other tribunal
than the consular court that has juris-
diction in such matter.
Hetherington shot and killed Robin
son, a prominent member of the En-
glish colony, ou the ground that the
latter had been unduly intimate with
Mrs. Hetherington, who was living at
the time at Yokohama, her husband be-
ing attached to the Asiatic squadron.
1t is said that Robinson made what
amounted practically to a confession to
Rear Admiral Belknap, and Hetheriug-
tons act was approved by the foreign
residents who were familiar with the
circumstances.
WILMINGToN. Del, April 1.-THE re-
port of the acquittal of Lieutenant
Hetherington was confirmed by cable
gram from the lieutenant to Emlen
Hewes, of this city, father of Mrs.
Hetherington. 1t read: Acquitted.

this city that there will be general re-
duction of wages, to take effect on April
II. The turn men will be reduced fif-
teen cents, the day laborers ten cents,
and the iron men three-quarters of a

men $l.75 per day and the laborers 81. .35,

operator said to "a reporter that the re-
duction was necessary because of the
condition of the iron market.

said he was Reuben Chapman, and that
where he owned TOO acres OF land. He
remembers rs though it were but yes

iamsburg asylum in Virginia, but can
not tell how no reached Michigan. His
story has been confirmed by telegraph
ing to the Williamsburg asylum.

BRIrAINs IDLE woRHMEN.
a Dark Outlook for the Striking Miners
and Cotton 5pinners.

and Cotton 5pinners.
LONDON, April 11.-Matters are not
improving with the laborers who are
out of work. The coal strike is no
nearer settlement now than when 1t be-
gan month ago. Thousands and thou
sands OF Durham miners are still idle,
bearing severe privations rather than
submit to the demands of the employers.
In several districts they are attempting
TO prevent any work at all being done,
while the masters are simply trying to
starve the men into their terms.
The subscriptions coming in at pres
ent give each man CT strike about 81
weekly. representing total outlay each
week of $3.50, 900. The miners in Wales,
Lancashire, Yorkshire and Derbyshire,
who have settled their own troubles,
continue to tax themselves 12 cents a
week each and say they will do so as
long as the Durham strike lasts, but
this cannot go on indefinitely.
Both masters and men regard the
present situation with alarm. Several
pits are closed and several more, which
have been flooded are rendered useless
for months. Not even in the great
miners strike of 1879 was the prospect
30 black as it is today, nor do matters
look much better for the cotton spin
ners of the South Lancashire. The as
sociation of employers have finally re-
solved to close all their mills unless the
strike in the Staly ybridge mills, which is
/ simply a protest against exhaustive
hours of labor, is settled before next
Friday. Perhaps it will be settled, but
probably it won't.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE trial of
Howard J. Schneider for the murder of
his wife was concluded in the criminal
court here by the jury, after something
less than an hours deliberation, return
ing a verdict of guilty. Throughout the
trial, which lasted about three weeks,
Schneider maintained a perfectly cool
demeanor, and was to every appearance
the most uninterested personH present.
Even when the foreman of the jury an
nounced the verdict there was no change
in the expression of his face. His at
torney entered motion for n new trial.

Russia's Finance Minister Insane.

BERLIN, April 1.-THE great Russian
finance minister, NJ. Vischnegradskl, is
profoundly i'll. Cipher telegIams have
been received to the effect that he be-
came suddenly and hopelessly insane,
and that death is looked forward to as
the only relief for his sufferings. The
causes of the insanity of the minister
are said TO be overwork and disappoint-
ment on account of his failure to float a
loan in France, and his vain attempts to

"Bob" Sims, the outlaw, after having been
besieged for day or two, in his home, i'll
Choctaw County, Ala, by Sheriff Gavin
and posse, began pariey with that officer
during the second afternoon. He had heard
that cannon had been sent for, and, rather
than have the women of his family blown
to pieces in their stronghold, he offered to
surrender All he asked for was that the
posse should do him no harm, and that they
should protect him and chose with him from
mob violence.
After a long debate of the officers agreed
to the terms Of surrender and promisel to
take Sims and his party under guard to the
county Jail at Butler.
At 4:30 O'clock the Simsites laid down
their arms and came out Of the house.

instead of seven desperate outlaws
there were only three men and
a boy, as follows: Boo Sims. Thomas
Savage and two young Savages: nephews OF
Sims, with four women, Bob's wife and
three daughters. The men were at once
ironed and placed in wagon.
The women were placed in a second wagon.

boys sons of Con Savage, there remained
behind the greater part Of the posse that the
Sheriff had attracted to the scene, and these
Immediately held a consultation, and after a
debate, decided it would not do to permit
the desperadoes one cnance OF escape. SO
they set out in pursuit
On the way they met Con Savage, another
of the Simites, and without any delay he
was strung up TO tree.
Later the guard was overnauled. but made
no resistance. Sims and the other three
were taken back to the tree upon which Con
Savage had been hanged, and four ropes
were quickly adjusted to the branches
thereof
Bob was asked if he had anything to say.
He replied: ''Take my hand, feel my pulse
and see if I'm coward" He and one Or
the Savage boys were placed in buggy, the
nooses were &C justed and the horse attacnei
to the buggy was driT en- forward, leaving the
men dangling in the air. The other two,

hanged.
John Savage, who had been arrested the
day before on a charge OF being member
