When the case was called County Attor-
ney Wager stated that the witnesses upon
whom the prosecution depended for con-
viction were 1000 to 900 miles away and
demanded fees In advance. As the con-
ditlon of the county did not warrant the
great expense that would necessarily fol-
low he asked that the charge against the
defendants be dismissed. The court
granted the tequest.
While the two men were congratulating
themselves on their good luck they were
again arrested on . charge OF assault to

a boy in the arm last May when they

/. Il. Herrick. the victim OF the unfortu-
nate street quarrel with Judge y r.
Carusi on our streets yesterday. died 81
lis o'clock last night from internal
hemorrhagss. He was conscious TO the
last and was surrounded by his wife, ply
sicians and friends. This morning an
autopsy was held by Drs. Frizelle and
Lewis. from which it WAS discovered that
the course of the bullet was downward
from the right breast. lodging In the hip
bone. A jury was impaneled by Coroner
w. w. McGeorge which. after hearing the
evidence, which was substantially as given
In today's Posr-ISTEIflsKScEs. rendered
the usual verdict with the addition that
the jury found that the shooting Was done
by Judge Carusi under great provocation,
rs DIR. Herrick had repeatedly struck the
judge on the head with an iron wrench,
intiicting dangerous wounds. The verdict
is practically an exoneration Of the Judge.
and IL i doubtful ii any further steps will
he taken in the matter by the authorities.
Later developments prove that Judge
Carusi was much more seriously injured
than was at first supposed. His physi-
clans. DR.. Stroller. OF this city, and DIR.
Wilson. of Port Townsend. pronounce
his condition precarious, and they fear
that he may not recover. The judge Is 81
years OF age and subject to severe attacks
of erysipelas. which, il is feared, will set in
now. Besides 1t il feared that his brain
has been injured by the terrible blows of
his assailant. He Is today only partly
conscious.
DIR. |. K. Herrick, the deceased, was .
young man. but 26 years of age. He was
born in Bowling Green, Ky. but later with
his parents removed to Nashville. Tenn,
at which place he graduated in 1857 from
the Vanderbilt university. receiving
his degree as physician, having
formerly graduated in the scientific de-
partment OF the same institution.
-Four years ago he came TO this Coast,
stopping for : few months at Port Towns
end. but three years ago he located in
this city. where he has since resided. His
parents and brother and sister reside in
Nashville and have been notified. The in
terment will not take place until adyices
are received from them.

THE SIANESE QUESTION.
A Special Cabinet Meeting Dis
cusses the Matter.
SIAM SUPPORTED BY CHINA.
Russia Has Given Assurances That
She Will Support France.
Interference of These Two Powers Adds
an Interesting Feature to the Dispute
Special Orders Dispatched to the
British Fleet Now in China.

PARIS, July information comes
from Pekin to the effect that China will
support Siam against France. Siam for
many years has paid tribute to China as a
matter of custom only. The Chinese IN
reference adds most interesting feature
to the dispute, and may result in a modi-
tication of the final demand.
A statement is published that the Rus
sian ambassador to France has given as
surances to that country that Russia will
support France on all points involved in
tho Siamese difficulty. 1t is further said
that the Russian fleet in Chinese waters is
under orders to proceed to the Gull OF
Siam for the purpose of supporting the
French and protecting French residents
in Siam. 1t is expected to arrive there
soon.
A dispatch from Bangkok states that
the Siamese court is greatly agitated.
Preparations are apparently under way
for the departure of the king and his
court from the capital. Reports of the
intention of the king to leave Bangkok
spread among the populace and caused
much excitement. The dispatch adds
that it is stated that popular agitation in
favor OF France has started in the pro-
vince of Battambang and troops have
been sent to put down the sediuion.
The senate today passed unanimously
resolution approving in every respect the
attitude of the government in the
Siamese affair.

FEELING IN WALL STREET.

Judge Brown Denounced for Secreting an
Application for Receiver.
NEW YORK, July 20.-The nervous feel
ing in Wall street so noticeable today is
said to be due largely to uncertainty re-
gar6ing the identity of some corporation
in behalf of which application was made
yesterday in the United States circuit
court for the appointment of receiver
without disclosing the name OF the appli
cant. By direction of Judge Brown the
papers, in accordance with the request of
counsel on both sides, were kept private,
so the name of the embarrassed company
would not be divulged. For this action
Judge Brown was vigorously condemned
in financial circles today, as it resulted in
the names of several prominent COM
panies being suspected as the one con-
cerned, and in at least one case
q serious decline in the price of the
stock of one Of those companies resulted
therefrom.
The financial situation in Philadelphia
is said by New YORK bankers today TO be
worse. Applications were received from
there for cash in order that this week S
payroll might be supplied. The banks
which received the applications forwarded
the necessary currency. 1t is probable
some banks in this city will adopt some
method this week to avail themselves Of
their credit balance in Philadelphia
They may charge a commission of 1 per
cent. after today on all PHILADELPHIA
checks received for collection.

IN BETTER SHAPE.
Denver People Anxious SO Return Their
Money TO the Bank Vaults.

Denver People Anxious SO Return Their
Money TO the Bank Vaults
DENVER, July 20.-There will be no
more bank failures here. The panic wore
itself out yesterday. There were scarcely
dozen depositors at the paying tellers'
windows in the remaining banks at the
opening this morning, while at the re-
ceiving tellers' windows of several banks
there were strings of depositors reaching
nearly to the street lined up and money is
going back into the bank vaults almost
as fast as it went out the past three days.
There may be few commercial failures
the next few days as result of the bank
failures, but it is believed no bad ones.
1t is stated that the Mcnamara dry
goods house which failed last Monday
has settled with its principal creditors
and will resume next Monday.
The closing of silver mines, smelters,
reduction works, coal mines, railways
and factories has put the laboring classes
in deplorable condition. 1t is estimated
that 10, 900 men are idle in Denver and
&C, GOO in outside towns, half of whom are
making their way here to become pub
lie charge.
To avoid this commercial bodies will
ask the railroads to make a s. rate to
Missouri river for this class, in expecta-
ton that they will be able to get work on
farms.
1t is estimated that Colorado, Utah,
Montana and New Mexico merchants
have countermanded orders for goods IN
New York for over twelve million dollars.

KANSAS MINERS STRIKE.
a Pitched Battle Occurs at Weir
City.
A NUMBER ARE INJURED.
The Strikers Drive the Men Out Of the
Strip.
Excitement Still Continues at a High
Pitch and Further BIoodshed Seems
Notwithstanding Owners Give
Themselves Up to the Officers.

WEIR CITY, Kas. July 20.-The ex-
pected crisis in the Kansas miners strike
came today. 1t was caused by the
strikers declining to allow miners who
are willing to work to do so. Just before
noon a band of 800 strikers which had
been marching to the various strip pits
reached Clements pit, about one mile
south of here, being headed by hundred
women. They sent in a committee to
persuade the miners to quit. A refusal
was returned and then the entire band OF
marchers moved on the works to force
the men out.
The Stripsmen were ready for them and
when they passed the trespass line they
were fired upon and general battle fol-
lowed in which rifles, pistols and clubs
were used. Fortunately nobody was
fatally hurt. One man, one woman and a
boy received painful bullet wounds and a
number OF people on both sides were badly
beaten with clubs, but no one will die.
As result of the battle the men in the
Strip were routed by the strikers and were
forced to fee for their lives, pursued by a
bowling mob.
The owner of the pit, Clements, his son
and man named Big Dick Reed are said
to be the ones who did the shooting, and
they have given themselves up, and were
lun oue Vi Tue County AoI sdIe Keeping.
The excitement continues at a high pitch
and further bloodshed seems inevitable.
1t is rumored that a quantity of fire
arms has been received here tonight. A
Pittsburg, Kan, telegram says: 1.-THE
miners of this vicinity are in high
state OF excitement over news from Wier
City. Many express the opinion that
this is but the beginning of a worse
trouble. A mass meeting will be held
| tomorrow
The women, who are mostly German 8
and Bohemians, entered into the fighting
more fiercely even than the men. They
welded clubs with vigor and precision
and did great execution. The sheriff OF
the county, who is q Populist. declines to
furnish protection for the working min
ers. He is in sympathy with the strikers.
The owners will now employ guards OF
| their own.

THE SHERMAN Law.
Views of Western and Southern Governors
and Senators.

Views of Western and Southern Governors
and Senators.
NEW YORK, July 2O.-The World prints
replies received to a Geographic request
sent to governors and United States sena-
tors of every state south of Mason and
Dixon s line and west of the Mississippi
river for statement of views upon three
questions, viz:
Whether or not they favor re-
peal of the Sherman law.
Second-What measure of substitute
for the Sherman law if they are not in
favor of an unconditional repeal.
Third-Whether or not the extra session
of Congress should enact tariff legislation.
So far as heard from not single south
ern or western governor or United States
Senator favors the Sherman law out and
out. Some southerners favor the uncon-
ditional repeal. All are willing and
many anxious that it be repealed condi-
tionally, but do not agree as TO what
ought to be substituted for it. Nearly
all western and some southern statesmen
favor the absolute free coinage of silver.
Senator Powers of Montana, emphatically
states it as his opinion that stthe uncon-
ditional repeal cannot be carried, - and
others say the unconditional repeal
would be q dangerous experiment. Sew
eral replies from Republicans as well as
Democrats favor tariff legislation by the
special session, but most of them say the
tariff question is dwarfed by the financial
problem and ought to be left alone till
Congress meets in regular session.

Three Men Charged with a Crime Com.
mitted Years Ago Acquitted.
WAUPAcA, Wis, July 20.-Sam Stoun,
Lad Prior aud Edward Bronson were ac-
quilted by jury this afternoon of the
murder of Samuel Mead. The trial lasted
six weeks. The result will no doubt end
in quashing the indictments against A.
y. Poll, David Holmes and Rodney
Chesley. Mead was banker, and while
working over the books on the night of
Oct. 9, 1888, was shot and robbed of IS, 600
IN cash and S., 900 in bonds. Several
persons have been arrested during the ten
years that have expired, and one man
named Vandrear barely escaped convic-
ton.
The claim was made in the case that
ended today that Mead was murdered by
a gang of young men who were out Tor
a lark and who intended to brighten the
him and took the money. Lea has since
become a leading merchant of the town
and was member of the legislature when
indicted. Bronson is now a leading mer-
chant of Tacoma, Wash.
Tonight, after conference between the
Judge and district attorney, the cases
against A. j. Poll, d. Holmes, Rodney
Chesley and Kinny Sherman were nolled.
The only one against whom proceedings
are LETT is William Hauscomb, who was
arrested in Washington and held as a
states witness. He disappointed the
states attorney by failing to go on the
stand and testify as expected.
