Consul Meyers says great deal is expected
from this province.
CHICAGO. March 29.-President Bonney,

Columbian exposition, has issued an ad

covery OF America by the dedication of

roes who fought, and of the heroes who had
died, for the preservation OF the Union. Today
we commemorate his life and deeds; and the
civil war is history.
He was entir free from the intense and ab-
sorbiug passion for wealth which characterizss
our times. He knew little and cared less for
the processes OF money-getting. The one place
in the country where fortunes were never es-
tirnated was his house, and his was the only
presence where riches, their requirement and
their uses were never discussed. He was salts
fed with his well-earned pay from the govern
ment. and did not envy those who possessed
fortunes. In his simple tastes and childhke
simplicity, as he lived and moved in the midst
OF the gigantic combinations and individual
efforts to secure q larger share OF stocks and
bonds and lands, he stood to the financial ex-
pansions and revulsions of the day did tho
vicar of Wakefield TO the fashionable society o.
his period.
This soldier, citizen and patriot. this model
husband, father and friend, held q place in
every heart and seat by every fireside in tho
land His death carried a sense of personal be-
resvement to every household, and plunged the
country in mourning. The imposing catafalque
has attracted the curiosity of thousands as il
has borne TO the tomb eminent citizen or sol
der, but the simple caisson rumbling over the
pavement, and carrying General sherman to the
side of his beloved wife and adored boy in tho
cemetery, drew tears from millions. His name
and his fame, his life and his deeds among
the choicest gifts of God to this richly endowed
republic, and precious legacy for the example
and inspiration OF coming generations.

The Pension Bureau Investigation.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 29.-In the
pensian bureau investigation G. y. Lock
wood, a pension attorney. formerly chief
clerk of the interior department, testified
that he borrowed money from a bank to
loan Raum, the banker refusing to make
the loan direct because Raum refused to
promote a certain woman in the pension
Office. w. II. Barker, formerly chief record
clerk of the pension office, admitted bor-
rowing money from employees and not re-
turning it. He said he lost $4,000 in
speculation on pointers given him by w.
w. Dudley. He said Raum, jr., got part
of the borrowed money. Thomas Farm
sett. formerly in the pension office. said
that before the election of 1890 pension
claims from Indiana were advanced.
Lemons cases always came up as COM
pleted, though many of them had been in
the office a long time. The remark of wit
ness about the bad character Of some Of
the women in the pension Office was
stricken out.

EVERETT, March 29.-[Special. Ever

destroying the wholesale liquor store of
Joe Barrett and Prescott's empty store ad-
joining. The fire was first discovered in
the Prescott building, and quickly con-
sumed that and the Barrett building. Bar

$500 on the stock and 81, 500 on the fix

Prescott's loss on building is probably
$500. A few hours before the fire meet
ing of citizens was held at which three fire
companies were organized. They soon
had work to do, and their efficiency with
the buckets prevented a general conhagra-
tion. They used mud and water freely,

HURLED INTO THE CANYON.
An Unknown Man Killed by q Train
Near spokane.

SPOKANE, March 29.-ISpecial. Am un-
known man who was walking on the
Northern Pacific trestle over Hangman
creek was struck by the incoming Palouse
freight train at sos this evening and
hurled to the bottom of canyon.
seventy-two feet below. The train was
stopped, but the man was dead when
picked up. The trainmen report that
when the engineer first saw the man on
the trestle he was trying to get out on the
end of tie far enough so that the train
would clear him. The engine was re-
versed, but too late.
The first box-car struck the unfortunate
man in the face, hurting him to the bot
tom of the canyon. The body was brought
to town. but was not searched tonight for
papers that might lead to the mans iden-
tity. A singular circumstance connected
with the accident is that it was the same
trestle, the same train. the same number
of cars, the same conductor and the same
brakeman that figured in the disastrous
wreck last July.

man. His mind seemed to be a blank.
The poisoned bread was fully proven, but
no evidence has been produced as to who
placed the poison in it, further than that
vial of arsenic or strychnine was found
covered up in the cape of the cloak of the
dead woman about ten days after the ar
rest of the defendant.
The witness, Andy Bland, swore that he
was invited by Humes, the dead man, in
July, TO visit his rooms, and, speaking to
him of Mrs. Long and her daughter, said:
"You can sleep with the girl or the old
woman" Several acts of the dead woman
were related tending to cast q shadow on
her virtue.

STATE SUPREME COURT.
Two King County Cases Settled-San
Juan Thief's Sentence Affirmed.

Juan Thief's Sentence Affirmed.
OLYMPIA, March %. - Especial. - The
Judgment in the case of Z. S. Wilkes, ap-
peliant, VS.. L. S. J. Hunt, Griffith Davies
ct al, respondents, from King county,
was affirmed by the supreme court today.
The appeal was taken from a judgment of
the superior court refusing to restrain the
commissioner of public lands from deliv-
ering to the respondents named a contract
for certain school lands sold to them in
pursuance of the law, but without an ap-
praisement of certain improvements
owned by the appellant, said to have been
on the lands when they were appraised by
the county commissioners. The Judgment
is affirmed because the appellant has other
remedies than an injunction and can sue
for the amount due him, if any, which can
be determined by jury, the court says, as
well as by the county board.
The judgm ent in the San Juan county
case of the State vs. Thomas Brew was
also affirmed, there being no statement of
facts in the case. The court passes only
upon the sutficiency of the indictment
which charged the larceny of carpenters
TOOLS valued in the lump sum of $50. The
court holds that the valuation of stolen
property can only be stated in lump
sum, but indicates that if the value of each
article stolen is not given the theft of
every article named must be proven, or
else there will be fatal variance. In the
case at bar there was such a variance, but
as the fact was not properly shown by
statement of facts the court could not con-
slider it, and the indictment being good the
judgment is affirmed.
The court retaxed the costs IT. the King
county case of Brown VS.. Winehill, reject
ing an item of $3.50 for stenogra piers fees,
as the statute makes no provision for re-
endorsement for such an outlay.

PARNELLITEs CHEER AND HISS.
Stormy Scenes at an Irish Meeting At
tended by McGIynn and Corrigan.

Stormy Scenes at an Irish Meeting At
tended by McGIynn and Corrigan.
New YORK, March 2o-The first public
meeting in this city of the Irish Fedora
tion of America, a new organization de-
signed to supplant the Irish National
League, was held last night. and was
marked by disorder inspired by Parnell-
ties, who were present in large numbers.
The police, to preserve anything like order,
had to forcibly eject from Cooper Union at
least twenty men and women. The first
sign of disorder appeared when DIR. Nc
Glynn came in, just before the meeting
was called to order. Some one shouted:
''Three cheers for DR.. McGlynn," and
when Archbishop Corrigan and other
prominent gentlemen appeared on the
platform a storm of Kisses and cheers went
around.
DR.. Thomas Adds Emmet, president OF
the organization, rose to call the meeting
to order, but just then lanK individual
got up and yelled, ''Three cheers for Par
nell" Then came another storm of Kisses.
The police hustled the man out, after
which DR.. Emmet explained the objects of
the meeting, saying:
The existence of the new federation with the
National Federation of Ireland and the funds
raised through its influence in this country will
be transmitted to the committee of the National
party and used for no other purpose than to de-
fray expenses for the coming elections for par
lament. The full measure OF home rule can
not be gained unless full delegation is sent to
parliament prolonged hisses.l
Charles A. Dana spoke, admonishing
harmony.
Professor Brophy started to tell how
Ireland could best be served. when Mrs.
Margaret Moore, a well-known IRISH
woman, who has been in Kilmainham
Jail, cried out: "You can best serve Ire
land by following Parnell." This created
the widest excitement, and the Parnellites
cheered themselves hoarse. Police Cap
tain Mccullough walked up the isle and
announced that any one who did not come
to hear the speakers would better leave the
hall Mrs. Moore, with some trouble, was
induced to resume her seat. When Arch
bishop Corrigan walked on to the plat
form the applause that greeted him
drowned all attempts at kissing by Nc
Glynn's friends.
Between $1,000 and $4,000 were sub
scribed for Ireland, and resolutions
adopted ,,for the purpose of giving effect to
the intentions of the federation, "that il
proceed Immediately to raise funds by
subscription and organize, in order to Sc
cure by legitimate means for every Irish
constituency an active nationalist repre-
sentation."
