When ordained he was sent to India
and went with the British army as
Catholic chaplain into Afghanistan.
There every man had to fight, and he
was in four battles. in the last, Mai
vaonda, the British force was scattered
and almost annihilated and Father
Jackson had to walk forty miles across
the desert TO reach an English post. He
was shut up with the troops in Kanda-
har, suffered with them and did his
turn like the rest.
The Pope then sent him to Borneo
where he has reduced the native Malay
language TO written form and built up
church of 1000 converts. He is now
project apostolic of northern Borneo

An unknown man was shot and
killed by posse of Kellogg citizens
about 10 o'clock one night recently,
while he was attempting to escape
from the drug store of w. G. Davis,
which he had entered for the purpose
of robbery. The store is situated at
the intersection of the two main
streets of the town, is a one story
structure with windows and doors at
both front and rear, but solid walls
upon the sides, AT the rear is barn
and outbuilding. IL. Roth, clerk in
the store, sleeps in the outbuilding. At
$3.50 that night he heard sound as If
some one was cutting glass at the rear
of the store. He arose and saw man
enter the rear window He at
once went to the neighbors and
awakened score of men, who armed
themselves with revolvers and shot
guns and surrounded the building,
The robber could be heard inside busily
at work and the posse divided and,
while half went to the front door and
covered that avenue of escape, the 9th
ers guarded the back door. When all
We're in position the marauder was
called upon to surrender. He made no
answer and was told to come out This
he. refused to do and the posse were
stalled and for half an hour did nothing.
Then n man secured n rope and lantern
and mounting the building swung the
light before the window. When the
robber saw the light, he rushed to
the front of the store and jumping
through the front window attempted
to break through the guards and
escape. He discharged his revolver
at the guards, who opened fire with
their shot guns and riddled him. lie
ran about fifty yards and fell dead The
robbcr, who is of medium height, with
a dark complexion and smooth face, and
probably 80 years of age, is unknown.
He had in his possession two revolvers,
a watch, four knives, So. so in cash and
several dollars worth of postage stamps.
The body was taken back to the drug
store and an inquest held. 1t is thought
that he may be the same man who
robbed the Indlanola postofiice some
time ago.

Mr.. Lucien Barrow of Medina, KY,

BETHLEHEM, Pa, April 20.-At the Beth

The aft barbette Is similarly constructed of
13inch plates, 30 feet In circumference.
Commodore FOlger of Washington, Chief of
Bureau Ordnance, who was here to inspect
these marvelS of workmanship, said they
are the most perfect turret barbette ever
constructed either in Europe or America.
When placed on the Monterey's deck, guns
will be placed inside. Commodore Foiger
declared il an almost absolute certainty that
no enemy's prNjectiles would ever penetrate
them. The barbettes. which were perfectly
joined to fit with bolts and keys, will be dis
mantled tomorrow and shipped, plate by
plate, to San Franssc0.

In an interview he was emphatic In his de-
nunciation of the Knights policy regarding

THE DEMOCR ATS.
Proposed Programme for the Dem ocrati
State Convention OF Indiana.

Proposed Programme for the Democratic
State Convention OF Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS. April 20. - The Demo-
cratic State convention will meet in this
city tomorrow TO choose four delegates to
Chicago and nominate full State ticket.
The indications are thatit will be one OF the
most holly contested in the history of the
State. The followers of Cleveland and Gray
seem about equally divided. There is
some disposition on the part Of enthusiastic
Cleveland people to ignore the agreement
understood to have been entered into
in this city few days ago BY
some friends OF Cleveland and Gray !;
If this is done, the whole Presidential ques-
tion will be reopened tomorrow. This
agreement provides that the State conven-
tion shall indorse Cleveland'S adminstra-
tion and the tariff policy whi, he enunci-
ated and declare the ex-President the logi-
cal candidate of the national convention,
but that Gray shall be also Endorsed as
worthy Of the highest honors and Indiana
delegates instructed. in the event of a
failure in the national convention to nomi-
nate Cleveland, to endeavOr. by every hon.
orable effort. to secure GTay's nomination
for the Presidency.
At meeting of prominent supporters Of
ex-President Cleveland and Ex-Governor
Gray to-day 1t was decided that the Indiana
delegation to the Democratic Eational con-
vention will vote for Grover Cleveland for
President until it becomes manifest that he
not to be the choice OF the convention, and
then the delegation will vote for Isaac 2.
Gray. The Incidental indorse ment of Gray
is conceded by party leaders to be proper
recognition Of the claims of the Ex-Governor,
but it was only in submission to the inpvita-
BILE that the Gray people acceded to the
agreement. There is no likelihood of the
Gray men receding from the agreement aud
the exertions of the leading Cleveland men
are being directed to prevent the over
enthusiastic followers from breaking away
and ignoring the agreement tomorrow by
endeavoring to stampede the convention
into an unqualified Endorsement Of Grover
Cleveland.

Teller Expresses His Views on tho Silver
Question.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-After the usual
morning business, Sherman notified the Sen
ate that further examination of the
Chinese immigration question convinced the
Committee on Foreign Relations that the
existing Chinese exclusion legislation would
not expire till 1894. Therefore. there was
no pressure for immediate action on the
question. He would. however. call it up at
the convenience of Senators who desired to
speak upon the subject.
ThereupoD. the silver resolution offered
by Morgan was taken up and Teller pro-
ceeded to address the Senate upon 1t.
He declared that the revolt against the
Republican party In 1890 was not agains. the
tariff legislation. but against the currency
legislation. Some Of the great metropoli-
tan Republican journals had represented
the President against the wishes of the
House and Senate on the silver question,
and standing as a safeguard for Wall street
and the money bags. The silver bill lacked
majority in the House to-day because the
Democratic party was afraid that II the
Democrats in the House put themselves on
record en- the question OF free coinage the
State of New York would cast its vote for
the Republican party. He said the banks
OF New York City had organized themselves
for the purpose Of defeating silver iegisla-
tion, and he ventured to say that there is not
a national bank in the United States which
had not been appealed TO by the organiza-
tion to contribute funds and influence to
defeat silver legislation. He asked what
was the policy OF the Republican party in
regard TO silver. "The Republican admin
istration was elected on o platform

DUTY ON SUGAR.

Still Further Reduction.

Democrats Considering the Feasibility CT
Still Further Reduction.
CHICAGO, Arril 20. A Washington
special to the Tribune (Rep.) says: There
Is something in the free-sugar scheme OF
the majority of the Ways and Means Conn.,
mittee. They have had several talks among
themselves, and the weight of opinion
seems to be in favor OF reporting bill re-
moving the duty of y cent per pound from
refined sugars. Though they don't like 10
admit it. Democratic leaders are forced to
confess that the reduction of cents per
pound made by the Mckinley bill is more
popular than anything they are likely TO do
in the way Of tariff reform. The consumer
is getting sugar at retail . TO 212 cents per
pound cheaper. Now some members of the
Ways and Means Committee think they
might as well get the credit of making sugar
cheaper by another half cent. and may re-
port either the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Stout of Michigan or a measure
fathered by Owen Scott Of Illinois. They
will not interfere with the bounty, because
they would strike at the sugar-planters of
Louisiana. Should tile bill be reported it
would pass the House by an almost unani-
nous vote
