King OF tho Turf.

CHICAGO, July "a. AT Washington
park on Saturday Morello won the
Wheeler handicap in 2:O5 equaling the
memorable record made by Salvador in
his great match with Tenny June rs,
1890. But Salvador srecord was made as
a 4-year old carrying the exact weight
allowed him according to the scales,
while Morello is but a S-year-old and
carried eight pounds above the scales.
Salvatore performance, therefore, does
not compare with that of Morello, who
may justly be considered the racing
wonder of the age.

BATTLE WITH STRIKERS.

Guards at a Kansas Mine Have an En-
gagement with the Mob.
WEIR CITY, Kan. July %. - The
guards at shaft AZ had pitched battle
with a mob of strikers at 1880 o'clock
Monday night. The mob approached
the mine quietly and fired into the
shaft Deputy Sheriff Grant, who was
on patrol guard, returned the fire
and, calling the other guards, defended
the mine against the mob. Over 100
shots We're fred but none of the depu-
ties were injured. When the mob saw
that the guards were standing their
ground they fled. 1t is not known how
many, if any, of the mob were shot.
The governor will not send arms to
the district and will not call out the
militia unless it is absolutely necessary.
He has secret agents on the ground
who are keeping him informed of the
situation.

and the Penalty Therefor.
A FAMOUS sIrIr ENnEn.

A FAMOUS SQII ENDED.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 24.-"We, the
jury, find the defendant guilty" Those
were the last significant words pro-
nounced Saturday afternoon in the
Benton-Newby case. The crowd that
had gathered in anticipation of the re-
suit lapsed into almost painful silence
as the verdict was announced. The jury
retired at 2:O7 Saturday afternoon and
in nineteen minutes they filed back into
the courtroom with their finding. 1t
was plain that an agreement, if reached
at all, was not expected so soon.
THE PRISONER IS COOL.
The defendant was closely watched
as to the effect of the announcement
made upon him. He did not manifest
any nervousness while waiting the
fateful moment, and when the verdict
was read he showed the coolest indiffer-
ence, and there was no change in his
color or expression. When the news
was transmitted to Mrs. Newly, who
was waiting in an ante-room, she was
strongly affected and gave expression
to her feelings in sobs.
THE JUDGES CHARGE.
Judge Allen prefaced his charge with
q reference TO pension legislation, say
ing it should he carried out to encour-
age the application for pensions by
meritorious old soldiers and TO
prevent fraud. Unusual interest,
he said, had been developed in
the case, and that strong feeling
had been wrought up was manifested
both in the courtroom and on the
street. The jury should not let this
enter into their decision, but should re-
turn verdict in accordance with love
of jnstice and q sense of duty as drawn
from the evidence. To establish the de-
PENDANTS identity in view of the con-
fiicting testimony of the witnesses
on either side was an exceed
ingly difficult and delicate mat
ter and demanded the exercise of
the highest intelligence. 1t involved
the Judgment as to which class of wit
nesses was the more reliable intellec-
tually and morally. He then briefly
stated the theory of the defense
that the defendant was wounded
at Shiloh, was captured by con-
federates, and finally found himself
in Andersonville prison. This theory
should be weighed in the presence of
the fact that the evidence did not show
that any of the other prisoners were
taken there. An important point to be
decided was as to whether a man who
showed the strength of mind accredited
to the defendant during his wanderings
through Ohio, Indiana and the south,
could have entirely forgotten his rela-
tives. The value Of the alleged wife's
testimony and that of the physicians
regarding the defendants physical
ability must be decided alone by the
jury. The charge closed with the pre-
caution that the defendant must be
found guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt.
THE CRIME AND THE PENALTY.
The indictments against the defend
ant were for presenting false afidavits
for pension and for falsely imper-
sonating an old soldier for the purpose

LOWERED THE FLAG.

BANGKOK, July 25.-M Pavie, French
minister resident, has lowered the flag
over his office and has notified the
Siamese government that he will leave
the city to go aboard the French war
ship Inconstante on Wednesday. He
has requested the government to pro-
vide pilots to conduct the Lutin and
Comete down the river. French sub
iects in Bangkok viii be placed under
the protection of the Dutch consul.
WILL BLOCKADE THE COAST.
PARIS, July 25.-The government has
notified the powers that it intended to
establish a blockade of the Siamese
coast, without prejudice to the other
measures that may be taken with the
object of securing to France the guar
antees to which she is entitled.
The French government is making
arrangements with another govern
ment for the protection of French sub
jects in Siam during the absence from
Bangkok of NJ Pavie, the French min
lister, who has been ordered to leave
Bangkok in twenty-four hours.
MILITARY OPERATIONS.
Besides the blockade military opera
tions win be opened shortly. The de-
tails of these operations are still unde-
termined. They will be settled at cab
met council within a day or two.
Steps will be taken in Indo-
China toward serious action inn
mediately after the arrival of the

second portion of this battalion has
sailed from Marseilles The native

COMMENT IN FRANCE.
PARIS, July 25.-The Liberte says
that the French gunboats probably
win go down the river, shell and de-
stroy the Paknam forts and then
return to their positions before Bang
kol1 and lombard the palace Some
painful measure is necessary, adds this
journal, for the preservation of
Frances prestige
The majority of the Paris newspapers
devote as much space to denunciation
between France and Siam. England is
reproached by them with supporting
the Siamese in their opposition to
Frances just demands, and with plan
ming to give the Siamese secret aid when
hostilities begin.
ANXIETY IN LONDON.
LONDON, July %. - The Franco
Siamese complications have been the
one absorbing topic in the Hobbies of
the house of commons. The situation
is regarded with apprehension by all
parties and the last news from Bang
l1ok and Paris is read with as much
anxiety as eagerness. On all sides re-
greet is expressed that the British war
ships in Siamese waite rs were not re-
enforced a month ago, as the British
interests in Siam outnum bered the
French hundred to one.
