under which they labor is in the fact that

The Secretary then tells the farmers
that as they hold the corner on the

of their land must rise with the absorb

nothing TO ask Of the Government except

The fact that Justice Field OF the
Supreme Court of the United States, was
bold enough TO express his conscientious
opinion and denounced the Geary act, ex-
Guiding Chinese residents. and. refusing
TO agree in the opinion OF the majority
of the court that It was constitutional,
aroused the Indignation OF certain class
OF individuals in San Francisco. and
threats have been made that he will be
lynched If he ever returns TO California.
But these threats will amount TO nothing.
Justice Fields life was threatened once
before in California, and the man who
threatened 1t is dead, while the Justice
still lives.

1t seems that Mr.. Ruskin was not
made Poet Laureate Of England after all,
but that the honor was conferred on
Lewis Morris, who has been commission
ed TO write the marriage ode for the
Duke Of York and the Princess May.
1t is said Of him that he did such jobs
while Lord Tennyson was still alive, in
GLIDING the Queens Jubilee ode, and for
this sort OF thing, the hack work of a
court poet, Lewis Morris is altogether
fitted. and If this is all that the appoint
ment Of Poet Laureate means. he might
as well have it.

II is unfortunate for Prince Antoine
DOrleans that he should be compelled
10 occupy a lower social position than

LONDON. Sept. IA sensational
tragedy has occurred in this city, the
result of which is the death of three
persons, one a woman. The others
were men, supposed to be rivals for
the friendship of a woman, but this is
mere conjecture as the three died al
most instantly. Daisy Montague,
ballet girl, left a theatre at I o'clock
this morning for her home. She
was joined by a man, and when near
Kings Cross they were stopped by
second man. just what passed be-
tween the three is not known. They
talked in loud and angry tones and
attracted the attention of passers-by
Suddenly one of the men pulled a re-
volver and shot the woman, killing
her instantly. He then shot the other
man dead and afterwards himself

ST. Louis, Mo, Sept. 23.-At Kings
bury, Ind, station on the Wabash
railroad sixty miles east of Chicago,
the second section of west-bound pas
seuger train No. 50. from Detroit to
Chicago, ran into east-bound freight
train No. 81, standing on the siding,
at ? o'clock yesterday morning,
wrecking both engines and the
coaches and sleeper of the passenger
train. Relief trains were started i'm
mediately for the scene of the wreck,
taking physicians. 1t is reported that
ten persons have been taken out dead.
Engineer Green and Conductor Coul-
ter of the passenger train being
among the killed. The engineer of
the freight train is reported injured.
Everything is being done to make the
injured comfortable at neighboring
farm-houses. The accident was
caused by the brakeman of the freight
train turning the switch to let the
freight train out of the siding after
the first section of the passenger train
had passed and just before the arrival
of the second section. Twelve dead
bodies have so far been taken from
the wreck, and it is believed there
are still eighteen or twenty bodies to
be removed. Twenty others are in
jured more or less.

on the broad plaza that stretches out
before the west front of the capitol
yesterday afternoon. One hundred
years ago yesterday George Washing
ton, the first president of the republic,
grand master of the Free and Ac-
cepted Order of Masons, wearing an
apron aud sash woven by the wife of
Lafayette, laid the foundation stone
of the great marble pile now the ad-
miration of the world. This city was
then a village, the broad, sweeping
avenues, magnificent buildings and
beautiful parks as yet unmarked upon
the map. Escorted by a small band
of patriotic citizens and a troop of
soldiers Washington, accompanied by
his cabinet and many of the illustrious
men of his day, rode to the forest
crowned hill on which the capitol now
stands, to lay the corner stone of that
giant structure. Over the same route
yesterday President Cleveland was
escorted by dashing cavalry,
marching infantry, blaring bands
and a vast multitude of people, to add
lis pTCStIiCc anu hOFQS 10 the cele-
bration of the anniversary of the
event. The goddess of liberty from
her stand on the dome looked down
upon gayly decorated platforms on
which, in addition to the orators of
the day, sat in solemn state the mem
bers OF both branches of congress,
the judges of the superior court clad
in their judicial ermine, the members
of the cabinet and other high digni-
taries of the government. Beyond
she saw filling the plaza in front of
the platform and extending far out in
to the radiating avenues a great con-
course OF citizens and civic sOldiery,
which in numbers. patriotism and en-
thusiasm fittingly marked the growth
and grandeur of the county during
the 100 yeors passed. Addresses
were delivered by President Cleve-
land, William Writ Henery, Speaker
C. F. Crisp, Henry Billing Brown and
Myron NJ. Parker. A grand chorus
of 1900 voices sang The Heavens
Are Telling" after Mr.. Crisp had
spoken. At the conclusion of the
programme the assemblage was dis
missed with a benediction pro-
nounced by Cardinal Gibbons of Balti
more.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Senator
Plat who offered an amendment to
the rules providing for a modified
form of cloture, on yesterday said he
intended to push his resolution as
strongly as he could. and il possible
to secure a vote on it. He said he
would make an effort to get the reso-
luton up to-day. 1t is under
stood that the administration sena-
tors are not greatly pleased with the
situation, but if forced will oppose the
cloture resolution as against the ira
dition of their party. One of the
presidents strongest Democratic
supporters on the floor of the senate,
and at all times an opponent of silver,
is quoted as saying he would prefer
that the repeal bill should be defeated
to the adoption of cloture.
