nected with the attempted roooery. n
close inspection Of Glcitzc's left hand,
however, does not bear out this state
ment, as three fingers are missing and
there are several holes in his clothes
made by bullets.
The scene at Sidenfaden's undertake
ing establishment, where the bodies of
the dead robbers lay, brought back
wildly those which transpircd at the
time of the death Of Jesse James A
dense crowd, composed Of all classes of
people, completely blocked up the
streets and sidewalks in front Of the
building. The inquest which was
being conducted 10y Coroner Reynolds,
occupied the greater portion of the
afternoon, and of course during its
progress no one outside of those direct
ly Interested was allowed inside of the
building but this did not make any
difference to the morbid throng upon
the outside, who persisted in spending
the entire afternoon in hanging about
the building in their eager desire To
catch glimpse OF the dead men.
The following witnesses were exam
ined by the coroner: Edward Keiffer,
j. c. Roach, e.. NJ. llohl, w. l.. Wright,
engineer of the dummy train, and X. l..
llallicutt, a switch engineer, who acted
as expressman. No additional facts
were brought out other than was pub
lished.
The verdict of the jury was rs fol-
lows: 1--WE, the jury, find the deceased
came to their death at the hands Of
officers, while attempting to rob a
train"
After the inquest had been held the
bodies of the dead men were turned
over to their relatives The dead men
were badly riddled with bullets An
examination of Kohler's body showed
that he had received two bullets in his
head, one in the chest, two in the arm
and two in the leg. The desperate
character of the man was displayed in
. his game exchange of shots with tho
officers in the car, badly wounded as
he was, until death came to his relief.
Glcitze also received many wounds
/ Coroner Reynolds relates an incl
dent which goes TO show that the pro-
posed robbery was pretty well known
among the friends and relatives Of the
principals in the affair. While the
coroner was engaged in conversation
with one of the employees, two women
came into the room and asked To SEQ
the body Of Kohler While gazing up
ON IL one of the women said to her COM
panion: ~ told Carrie yesterday just
how this would end. | felt sure IL
would end this way" The remark of
the woman would indicate that she
was an intimate friend of the wife OF
kohler, as that is her Christian name,

The Administration Not breaking It's
Neck Trying to Enforce It-Chinamen
Driven from La 0rande, Ore.
WASHINGTON, Sept 20. The position
occupied by the administration regard
ing the execution OF the Geary act was
definitely settled by the communica-
ton sent TO the house. The letter con-
tains copies OF the instructions sent to
collectors of customs by the treasury
under date OF May 4, and they are in
structed TO take no steps looking to en-
forcement of deportation until further
notice Under that date the attorney
general orders United States marshals
not TO proceed except on order of the
court With regard TO those Chinese
who had obtained admission into the
United States under false representa-
tion, the letter directs officers of the
department TO use every effort TO en-
force the law by arrest and prosecution.
A telegram TO Attorney-Genera Olney,
dated September ?, instructs the attor-
ney at San Francisco, in view of the
fact that no fund existed for carry
ing out the law, TO have such Chinese
held liable 10 deportation discharged
from custody until such provision is
made.

captured Cirencester, Harry L. w.
Lawson, the liberal candidate, being elected

liquor dealing interest made vigorous
efforts In support Of the conservh-

by all the influence the landed gentry
could bring TO bear The victory is, there
fore, regarded with great satisfaction by
the liberals as showing that the agriculEur-
lists OF the west Of England are true 20 Mr..
Gladstone and his policy.

ANNEXATION OBJ HAWAII.
a Strong Feeling of Hostility Amons

A Strong Feeling of L ostility Among
Some Members of the House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The Hawaiian
resolution introduced in the House recently
by Representative Springer calling for a
statement of the liabilities to be assumed
was considered to-day by the House ways
and means committee and referred TO a
subcommittee consisting OF Messrs.
Springer, Cochran, Turner, Payne and
Hopkins of Illinois.
A very strong feeling of hostility to the
Hawaiian treaty is entertained by some Of
the leading members of the House Of Rep
resentatives. 1t is in every way possible
that the closing hours of this congress will
be made interesting by a lively debate
over the rights of the House in
this matter, with a declaratory resolution
expressing the conviction that no territory
should be acquired by this country without
the approval of both houses Of congress.
The movement started with some demo-
cratic members, but some republicans are
inclined TO take the same view of the mat
ter and to join in voting for a resolution of
the character proposed.
Paul Neuman, envoy of Queen Liliou-
kalaut now in this city, Is endeavoring to
secure an opportunity to make an argument
before the committee on foreign relations Of
the Senate, as a supplementary plea to a
statement heretofore laid by him before
Secretary Foster and by the latter trans
mitted to the Senate. He expects
the committee desires to hear further on
the subject. The statement now before the
committee contains a mere recital of the
queen g case. Mr.. Neuman thinks it desira-
bic that the members should have the ben
eft Of what he may say in addition thereto.
