PRESTO, CHANGE.
Two Kinds Of Law in Ormsby
County.

OOuHtts
Some months AGO the editor of tn
APPEAL charged that Attorney Sum
merfeld was retained by Georg
Thaxter in the DAVIS case, and acteC
while he was also the District Attor-
ney. Three men had stated unre-
servedly to Hon. William Woodburr
that Thaxter had admitted to then
that Summerield was his attorney.
When Woodburn who had men
toned this circumstance, not deem
ing it even to be a secret was nut
on the stand, the parties who told
him, having strings placed on them,
begged him not to reveal their names,
and he therefore declined to tell. He
was thereupon excused.
Yesterday the editor of the APPEAL
was called before the same Grand
Jury and asked if he ever said that
certain unknown party had admitted
to him that he had to pay commiss-
ions to county officers to get con
tracts. The reply was, eyes; party
so admitted to me. When asked
the name the editor of the APPEAL
declined to answer and was sent to
Jail
The fact of the matter was, the
District Attorney figured out that he
had never been told so by anyone,
and hence would have to lie in Jail |
all Summer or admit he made the |
story out of whole cloth. It was not
long, however. before the person who
had made the omission voluntarily
before the Grand Jury and
relieved the present witness of the
charge Of contempt
Woodburn did not claim the attor>
ney's privilege of treating invlolate
,lient's communication, as the parties
we're not his clients
Thus, as we have said before, there
$ one law when one case is up, and
mother law for another case.

The Willis Clarke Case.

Yesterday Judge Rising made a
decision in the case of Willis Clarke.
Proceedings were instituted by the
District Attorney, asking that he be
deposed of his Office as Notary Pub
lie, on the ground that he held a
Federal Office. The Court held that
the law did not contemplate a Fed
eral officer holding another office of
trust and emolument, and decided
that the Office of Notary Public held
by Willis Clarke was vacant.
The defendant will appeal to the
Supreme Court.

Schiey's Report.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. = Secretary
Tracy today received a cable message
from Commander Evans, of the gun
boat Yorktown, at Valparaiso, saying
that the last of the Gillian political
refugees who have been under protec-
ton at the different legations at Santi-
ago swere safely transferred to the
Yorktown yesterday. There were seven
OF these refugees, he says, five at the
United States legation and two at the
Spanish legation. They were accom-
panied from Santiago to the Yorktown
by the American, Italian and Spanish
ministers, and will remain on the yes
sci until the 10th inst, when they will
be transferred to the Pacific Mail steam
er scheduled to sail for Panama on that
date Ell route for Europe.
QThe final report of Capt. Schley. COM
handing the cruiser Baltimore, in re-
gard to the assault on the sailors of that
vessel at Valparaiso on the 10th Of Oe-
tober was received at the navy depart
ment today. In it Capt. Schley makes
positive statement that the only inter-
view he ever had with Judge of Crimes
Foster, of Chill, on the subject of the
attack on the Baltimore's sailors oc-
Cured shortly after that event, and be-
fore its full gravity was known and I'M
derstood at Valparaiso.
At that interview Capt. Schley says
Judge Foster expressly stated to him
that the cause of the attack was the
hatred that the lower class of Chilians
had for Americans because of the belief
that the Americans had been on the side
of Balmaceda. This expression by Judge
Foster is regarded by naval officers as
highly significant. in view of his subse-
quent statements in regard to the Balti-
more incident. The interview took place
before the receipt of the presidents
note calling on the CHILEAN governments
for reparatiOn.

eQuivocation; and the presence Of an ln-
tense anti-American feeling has already
been made manifest throughout all of 10
OH the part of Chill.
1t has not been decided by the presi-
dent. it is said. whether his comments
on the correspondence will take the
form of a message TO congress or of a
dispatch to Minister Egan. Shonld it
be sent to Minister Egan for presenta-
ton to the Chiiian government it may
be considered by the officials Of that
country in the light of an ultimatun.
Senior Montt and Secretary Blaine have
had no conference for two or three days.
A report tonight, credited to a close
friend Of Mr.. Blaine, says that the Sec
rotary has become convinced that the
Gillian government does not intend to
apologize. An effort was made TO see
the secretary, but he was engaged, and
sent word that he had nothing to say.

A Chinese Steamer Sinks With
Hordes OF People.
LONDON. Jan. ia dispatch was re-
ceived here today from Hong Kong stat
ing that the steamer Miefoo has arrived
at that port bringing intelligence of the
loss of the steamer Namchow off Cup
chi Points. The Meifoo reports that
the shaft of the Namchow broke, sup
pOsedly at the point where it energies
from the hull. This allowed the water
to rush in and make its way to the en-
CINE room, thence into the fire room.
The steamers fires were soon extin-
guished and she settled rapidly. The
water continued to pour in unchecked
and in a short time the vessel fOundered.
The Namchow had on board very
large number of Chinese passengers.
She sank so rapidly that it was impoSsi-
BILE to launch her boats, even had she
enough to carry all hands on board.
When she went down she carried with
her 414 persons, every one of whom was
drowned. The steamer was differed
by Europeans, and her crew also con-
sisted of sailors, firemen, etc.. from diff
ferent European countries. They stood
at their posts to the last. and did every
thing possible to save their vessel. All
OF them went down with the steamer.

FREE COINAGE.
Discussion i'm Committee - MIR.
BANDS Opinion.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Representa-
tive Pierce, of Tennessee, an ardent
free coinage man, fired the first gun in
committee in favor of free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver Immediately after
the house committee on coinage, weights
and measures effected an organization
this morning. Mr.. Pierce forced the
subject to the front by resolution to
report free silver bill without delay.
The discussion ON the resolution
showed that the committee is free
coinage committee, though both free
silver and antl-free silver men opposed
the adoption of the resolution, on the
ground that 1t was too precipitate. Fol.
lowing Is the resolution:
Resolved That 1t is the sense of this COM
mittee that bill for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver should be reported to the
house without delay.
Mr.. Kilgore, of Texas, said he had no
doubt the committee would report a free
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1892-01-14

coinage bill, but he saw no nece: S ty
for adopting such resolution at The
hrSt committee meeting.
Mr.. Williams, of Massachusetts,, pro-
tested against the resolution. and
warned the majority that, if they sim
cerely believed that they had a just
cause, haSty and oppressive methods IN
forwarding that cause would be the best
argument that could be used against
them and against their cause. MIR. Bar
dine, of Nevada, agreed with Mr.. Will
Jams that hasty action would hurt the
Silv>r men.
Mr.. Pierce expressed himself as de-
termined to press the resolution. Mrs
Robertson. of Louisiana, came out
strongly for free coinage and against
unnecessary delay. but thought the
resolution should not be adopted just
yet. He would only consent with the
understanding that at the next meeting
the question came up again.
Mr.. Bland, OF Missouri (the chairmanl.
also thought that the resolution might
go over, but suggested that change in
its form might make it unObjectionable.
Mr.. Pierce finally withdrew his resolu-
ton for the present, and by common
consent the subject went over until the
next meeting.
MI JoiillSoil, VI NOTlu DdhOId, III VIC
course Of proceedings, said his views
were against free coinage, and he was
one of those who opposed the resolu-
ton of Mr.. Pierce, and favored more in
formation being laid before the commits
tee prior to action. /
Mr.. Bland said after the meeting: 81
think the temper of the committee is to
take up the subject without delay, and
report free coinage bill to the house at
an early day. There will be no Ameri-
can product about it, or any other linn
itations. 1t will be a general free coin
age bill, and in my opinion such bill
will pass the house." ~
TOday's action of the committee has
suddenly revived the movement of
prominent Democrats for joint caueus
to determine the policy to Ue adopted
by the party on this prominent issue.
Mr.. Springer SAID today: Il am in fa-
vor of Democratic joint caucus being
called to be composed of the Democrats
of the house and senate, to consider the
question and determine the policy to be
pursued by the party. AS Democrat
l will cheerfully abide by the action of
that caucus, as l am sure will all other
good Democrats"

SCRLEY ON THE STAND.
The Baltimore's Commander Tes.
titles at Vallejo.

VALLEJO, CAL, Jan. 13.-The Balti-
mere inquiry was completed this after
noon. Several senior officers testified
as to the legal proceedings in Valpa-
raise, bringing out clearly the utter fail
ure Of the Valparaiso court to establish
anything to the detriment of the sailors.
Capt. Schley took the stand and pro-
ceeded to give resume OF the whole
history of the ship since first reaching
Valparaiso. He spoke over an hour,
clearly and fOrcibly, and was listened
to with great attention by the audience
that crowded the court room. He
showed forth plainly the inception and
growth of the anti-American feeling
among the many dlScOurtesies he was
subjected to. he saw over twenty Of
his men on shore shortly before the
riots began. and they were all sober.
But even if they had not been, he de-
clared he saw no reason why they
should have been visited with capital
punishment for being drunk.
Lieut.. McCrea testified at length as to
the i'll feeling towards Americans. The
Quinteros affair was the greatest cause
OF i'll feeling. After that the refugee,
the 1tata, and the cable questions came
in the order named. Valparaiso was
filled with lies and exaggerated stories
of all kinds.
Capt. Schley, commanding the Balti-
more. testified: when we arrived at
Iquique it was liz possession of the Con-
gressionalists. The people there,
though not hostile, were decidedly
cool. The junta, in surrendering
the Itata, stated that they did SO because
they could not indorse so palpable a
violation of the laws of neutrality, nor
could they defend the action of their
officers in escaping from the municipal
authorities of San Diego. Neverthe-
less. after her delivery the whole tone
of the people changed. The papers
stated the United States was guilty Of
an act of injustice which could never be
forgotten or forgiven"
