LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 2t-An appeal was issued
yesterday from the headquarters of the Irish
National League OF America, at Omaha, to the
Irish Nationalsts and Home Rulers in this
country for renewed efforts to raise money fo-
the cause. 1t says in part: ''Let those who de-
sire TO do so send their money to the party led
by Mccarthy ,and those who desire to do so send
money to the party led by Redmond, with the
provision that the money should not be used by
one against the other The battle must be
fought in the coming parliament, and there is
no excuse now for any man who
believes in home rule to withhold
his hand. William Lyman. treasurer,
and John Z. Sutton, secretary of the Irish Ma
tional League of America. do not indorse the
views expressed by President Cannon yes
terday. Their names were signed to the docu-
ment in good faith By President Cannon, ac-
eording to old pTecedents, but in justice to
themselves they regret to be obliged to publicly
dissent from the presidents views, as they do
not believe in raising funds for distinct fac
tiOns OF what ought 20 be united body. They
think general election will force union, and

orders from the attorney general at Washington
City. Collins is charged with embezzle-
ment in the amount OF s2o0OO0. He will

crs had arranged to meet the necessary assess-
ments. the warrant for Collins arrest issued

not received till last night. The complaint

HARRY MORGAN's ESTATE.
Sensational Testimony by Jumbo" the
Notorious CONTINUE Theater Bouncer.


TACOMA, Feb. 2i.-tspecial Sensational tes-
timony was given by Frank T. Canlwell, alias
Jumbo" an all-round sport. and Il recent
signer of the Francis Murphy temperance
pledge, in the Harry Morgan estate hearing this
afternoon, before Court Commissioner Clifford.
Morgan was the leader of the local gambling
houses couple OF years ago, and at the time of
his death it was claimed that he left property
valued at S2JO,000. The report OF Administrator
Chamb erlain showed the estate to be worth
much less, and Mrs. Morgan demanded an ac-
counting, some of the items being questioned.
One OF the contested items was regarding the
Comique theater and gambling parlors. The
administrators records snow that the place
yielded little ready cash. At the time Cantwell
had charge OF roulette table at the place, and
today testified that the receipts aggregated $780,
0JO per month. Further, he said, that Mart Dill
lon, chief OF police at the time, received rake
of OF % per cent. on all the business OF the
Cemique and other gambling houses, with the
understanding that he should not molest the
games. Cantwell testified that Dillon threat
ened to send him ''over the road if he ever
"gaye away" the rake-off percentage agreement.
Continuing in decidedly direct manner, and
in a way that tended to inspire confidence in
the truthlulness OF his deposition, Cautwell
said, after he had been bounced" from the
Couique by order of Dillon, he was employed
by city central committee 'to win" He de-
Cllutu 10 ueHne the meaning OF lness WOtus, 10
wip," adding, with a boyish smile, that he
guessed he bad better not "tell that
The records of the police court at this time
showed that Cantweu had been arrested on
election day while attempting to work in re-
peaters 1t was said he had offered man
money If he would vote on another mans name
in a precinct where he did not reside. The ar
rest occurred at the polling place on Railroad
street, below Ninth. Cantwell stated that he
was advised to plead guilty by City Attorney
Milligan, with the understanding that he would
not be prosecuted.
Cantwell at times poses as prizefighter. lie
is OF athletic build, and only a few days ago was
one OF hired election party that threw the
agents OF DR.. Powell Reeves out of his Office
rooms on Pacific avenue. He has been arrested
three times for vagrancy, which he SAYS is
matter of personal difference with Detective
Flaunigan, who does the arresting, charging
that Cantwell has no visi bic means of support.
On one occasion when arrested for yagrancy he
demanded a jury trial, and was released on 50
cash bail He now proposes to sue the city for
$4,000 damages for false impri sonment, on the
ground that while arranging with the court for
replacing the cash by 500 bond he was i'm
prisoned for not furnishing the latter. Chief of
Police Ellis and Detective Flanagan are
charged with making the complaint.

TACOMA, Feb. M.-[Special. AN inmate
OF the Steilacoom asylum named Miller
has escaped and is said to be dangerous
man when in n frenzy. He was committed
from King county and escaped by con-
verting his blankets into rope ladder.
William Miller has twice been in the insane
asylum. After he was quilted, with his
father, sister and brother, OF the murder on
February Z, 1856, on Lake Washington, OF J.
Manning Colman and William Patton, he be-
came violently insane and a terror to the peo-
pie along Mercer slough. In 1857 he was COM
mitted TO the asylum at Steiacoom and he has
been discharged and recommiited several times
since. During the latter part OF 1890, after a
few months confinement in the asylum, he was
considered cured and was discharged, return
ing to his fathers farm on Mercer slough and
living quietly. Last October he again went mad
and one night. about IL O'Clock. he tried TO mur-
der the family OF Isaac X. McNight, whose
farm adioins the old Miller homestead,
firing several shots through the front door.
He failed in iniuring any one and in gaining
an entrance. The same night he shot and killed
a horse and two cows belonging to another
farmer and burned the house of John C. kohler,
who lived about half mile from Knights farm.
The kohler family barely escaped with their
lives in their night clothes. When arrested
Miller swore that if he ever escaped from the
asylum he would return to Mercer slough aud

portance, and said the commerce of the
world demanded its construction. The only
question of Importance now is whether it
should be done by American capital,
under American auspices and control, or
whether It should be compelled to seek
European capital for its completion. For with
the example OF the Suez canal, there is no doubt
that private enterprise will come forward and
carry the undertaking to successful con-
clusion.
Miller, speaking of the benefits to arise from
the canal, said its construction might easily
double the output OF the Pacific coast states in
agricultural products and find ready and profit
able markets for them in Europe, because the
cost OF transportation would be reduced by re-
duction OF the distance. Furthermore, it has
been estimated that the increased value
OF timber now standing around Puget sound
would pay for the construction OF the canal
The great forests of the central part of the coun
try are becoming rapidly depleted aud now the
best timber field is found on the Pacific coast.
1t goes without saying that the building of the
canal will rapidly increase the population of the
Pacific states. Their soil and climate is tho
best in the world and the Coast capable of sup
porting population OF hundred millions if
all the lands are taken up and cultivated.
Hon. J. L. Torrey, OF St. Louis, spoke on the
subject of his bankruptcy bill, and the conven-
ton then adjourned till tomorrow.
