The Tragedy at Port Angeles

PORT ANGELES, Wash, Sept. CDR. L.
R. Herrick, the victim of street quarrel
with Judge 8. P. Carusi yesterday, died
ut 11:30 o'clock last night from internal
hemorrhages. He was conscious to the
.last, and was surrounded by his wife,
physicians and friends. The autopsy
shows the course of the bullet was down.
ward from the night breast, lodging in
the hipbone. The coroner's jury rem
dered the usual verdict, with the addi
tion that the jury found that the shoot
ing was done by the judge under great
provocation; that DIR. Hcrrick had re-
peatedIy struck the judge on the head
with an iron wrech, intlicting dangerous
wounds. The verdict is practically an
exoneration of the judge, and it Is doubt
full if any further steps will be taken in
the matter by the authorities. Later de-
velopments prove that the judge is much
more seriously injured that was at first
suspected. His physicians pronounce
bis case most precarious one, and they
fear that he may not recover. The judge
is 81 years of age, and subject to severe
attacks of erysipilas, which, it is much
feared. will set in now. Besides, it is
thought his brain has been injured by
the terrible blows of his assailant. He
is today only partly conscious.

khort-Lived Liberty.

ELLENsBURe, WASH, Sept. 6-Today
was the time set for the second trial ol
Raz Christianson, alias Lewis, and
George McCarty, charged with robbing
Ben E. Snipes & Co.'S bank, at Roslyn,
nearly year ago. When the case was
called, County Attorney Wager stated
that witnesses upon which the prosecu-
tion depended for conviction were 1000
or 1000 miles away and demanding fees
in advance. As the condition of the
county would not warrant the great ex-
pense that would necessarily follow, he
asked that the charge against defendants
be dismissed. The court granted the re-
quest. While the two nen were con.
graduating themselves on their good
luck, they were again arrested on the
charge of assault to commit murder.
This was on account of shooting boy
in the arm last May, when they broke
jail and attempted to escape.

A great event in the history of tn

A great event in the history of the
British people was the passage of the
home-rule bill last Friday in the house
of commons by a decisive majority.
For years Mr.. Gladstone has devoted
the best part of his life to the cause of
the Irish people, and the passage of
the measure drafted by him is all that
can be accomplished in this line by the
commons of England. The house of
lords may pass the bill, realizing the
fact that this advancement in govern
nent is demanded by the empire.
With self-ruIe for Ireland. one great
step has been made towards republi-
can institutions, and further progress
sion may be expected. 1t is not too
much to expect that during the next
quarter of century peaceful revolu-
tions will accomplish wonders in Great
Britain, and the long-cherished dreams
of patriots of a confedersted empire,
with separate parliaments for each of
the different peoples, will be fully
realized.

Representative Hermann says the
fear of tariff reduction is the cause of
the present hard times, and in this he
will be supported by nearly every Re-
publican. But there is nothing equal
to practical demonstration of a fact,
and for this reason we believe in Re
publicans supporting the repeal of the
silver-purchase clause of the Sherman
act. When Democrats realize that
this has not remedied the evils under
which the country is now suffering,
they might turn their eyes toward the
free-trade plank in the Chicago plat
form. 1t seems impossible to con-
vince Democracy that the change has
caused the depression until it has
thoroughly tested the repeal of the
silver purchase act, and we are in
favor of giving every test possible.

A FiendIsh murder.

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 5-Within the
four hours preceding midnight last night
there was committed in South Seattle
one of the most brutal murders in the
history of the city. An old woman, 80
years of age, named Charlotte Fetting,
had her brains beaten out with an iron
stove-plate, and her little trunk robbed
of the savings of herself and son for
years, $500 in gold coin. The fieud or
tends who committed the deed are un-
known and have probably left the city
with the gold for which a gray-haired
mothers life was sacrificed. Mrs. Fett.
ing, with her sen, Ernest Fetting, lived
In the southern part of the city, in what
Is known as "Shanty-town." They are
Germans. The son is tall, innocent
looking man, about 80 years of age, with
1axen hsIr and blue eyes, and Is wood
cutter. Yesterday evening at o'clock
Ernest Fettlng and James King. son
in-law, lett the little shack and went to
the Peoples theater. They were the last
persons who saw the old woman alive.
When they returned at 2 o'clock this
morning they found the door unlocked
and partly open. FettIng exclaimed, II
have been robbed" Klug replied that
perhaps 1t was not 30. and pushed back
the door. On the floor, between the low
bed and small cook stove, standing in
the center of the room, lay the poor old
women. Her face was turned sideways,
pressing against the oven door. 1t was
a mass of clotted blood. while her gray
hair streamed in tangled bloody strings
over her shoulders. Several large gashes
were visible, but were filed with clotted
blood. In her mouth was stuffed large
cotton handkerchief, and strap passing
across the handkerchief and under the
chin formed gag. She was in ber night
dress, which was of white cotton and not
much disarranged. The little room had
been simply turned upside down, and
nothing was LETT in place. The garments
hanging on the wall bad beeE torn down
and the trunk had been emptied, the
chairs had all been overturned and there
was ample evidence of terrible strug-
gle. When the two men realized what
had taken place, the son for moment
was stunned. Walking mechanically
over to his dead mother, he lifted her in
bis arms and placed her ON the bed. Then
be gave way to fit of grief which was
heartrending. Her head was so beaten
as to be only bloody mass.

Ii one were to pay attention TO the
different ideas advocated in congress
regarding the monetary question, he
would soon come to the conclusion
that the American government never
followed any policy in finances, and
were attempting to bring order out of
chaotic confusion. Instead of this,
the United States has been on the
most solid financial basis for more
than thirty years,and by careful finan-
ciering has overcome the burden of
the heaviest national debt ever known.
There is no necessity of evolving any
new plan. The old one has been good
enough. and has been successful under
the most adverse circumstances. Pop
ullst and Democratic theories in regard
to free coinage have never been tried,
and this is no time for the admins
tration to experiment.

Running Into Debt.

WASHINGTON, Sept. TAT no time
since the war have custo ms receipts been
SO low as now. The matter Is causing
Carlisle good deal of worry. In the
treasury last night the cash balance was
reduced to $105. 100000, inclusive of
gold reserve and $10,000,000 sbrased and
uncurrent and subsidiary coin. What is
left of the depicting gold reserve contiu :
ues TO be the only cash balance in the
treasury with which to pay current ex
penses. The receipts are now running
about $4,000 per day behind the ex-
penditures. For the first time the im-
port duties have fallen below the internal
revenue receipts. For the fiscal year
from July I TO the present time, the gov
ernment expenditures have exceeded the
receipts by $19,000,000. At this rate the
deficit at the end of the year will be very
large.

am the head, through me, gives you
the assurance of peace. You as a
people are German, and by the help of
Gold, and also by the help of the Ger
man sword, you will remain German
people and German province" This
simply means that Alsace and Lor-
raine will remain in the empire, and if
France desires them she must fight.
The army bill has passed the reich
stagg, and the Germans consider them.
selves able to keep all the territory
gained IN 1871. Of course the inhab-
itants have nothing to say in the mat
ter, and will not be consulted. If
they want to live in France they must
emlgrate; but while they remain they
must obey German laws. and they can
not help themselves.

Comment OF French Newspapers.
PARIS, Sept. 5-The declaration at
Metz OF Emperor William, that he is
firmly determined to maintain the peace
of Europe, has attracted much attention
in the newspapers in France and COM
ments upon its significance are freely
made. The moderate journals call par
ticular attention to the impressive nature
of the emperor's reception in Metz. but
none of them will admit that his well
come, however warm 1t might have been,
constitutes abandonment of the protest
of Alsace-Lorraine against the dominance
of Germany. The Chauvinist journals
declare the welcome given to the en-
peror at Metz was wanting in spontan-
city and the reception rendered the
Prince of Naples was decidedly cold.

METZ, Sept. emperor William was
upon,his feet and in talking mood at a
brilliant banquet rendered by civil Off
cials last evening. He referred in highly
complimentary terms to the people of
Lorraine. His conclusion was, he said,
the people of the district had proven,
during the recent military maneuvers,
that they appreciate the greatness of the
empire. This fact was clearly apparent In
the noble ovations and in the festive de-.
meanor of the people. He stated. too,
the presence of the province iu and Its
adherence TO the empire would enable
the people OF Lorraine to pursue their
labors peacefully and in an orderly man
ner. 81 have established a home for
myself among you." said the emperor in
burst of feeling, land the great empire.

as people are German, and by the help
of God. and also by the help of the
German sword, you will remain a Ger

Silver Mem HopefnI.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ga senator
prominent as an opponent of repeal has
placed the majority of the repealers at
8, but declares the vote on that provision
will be indefinitely postponed. He
thinks there may be many opportunities
to secure compromise in the amend
ment stages. 1t is intimated there is a
strong possibility for a revival of the
Bland~Ailison Jaw. 1t is coming to be
apparent that the opponents of the Voor-
bees bill have better organization than
was supposed BY the friends of the meas
ure, and they arc beginning to realize the
battle will be stubbornly fought and
every move on their part resisted. The
silver men openly allege that Voorhees,
reason for Withdrawing his 11.o'clock
resolution was fear he would be beaten

damage will be several hundred dollars.
Scows have been placed on either side to
