son went to the door and saw the men
were the ones wanted. The officers went
out of the cabin, and as one of them was
looking around the corner Evans fred.
Then the fusillade commenced.
Luke Hall, who lives near the scene,
says the fighting lasted two hours, and
he stood in his door until quiet reigned.
Next morning at daylight he went to the
cabin to see what had been done, and the
posse from Visalia. having just arrived,
thought Hall was one of the bandits, and
commenced searching for their cartridges
to commence fight. Then all the posse
started TO the straw pile and there found
Sontag.
Marshal Gard lay out all night within
fifty yards of the cabin, with Tom Burns.
At O'Clock this morning he sent Burns
to house mile away for water. One of
the first things Gard found was a fine
pair OF field glasses, the bandits had
been using. The firearms were captured
and then someone said. supposing it was
Evans under the strawpile, "Chris,
where is John?" when voice from under
the strawpile said, ~ am John"
All the officers came into town with the
prisoner, as Evans had too much start to
follow with any hope of capturing him.
Deputy Sheriff Rapelie, who followed
Evans as he left, thinks there is no doubt
the bandit was wounded, and the fact that
he left his gun and hat leads to this con-
clusion.
Shortly after noon the officers started
after Evans. and the pursuit will be con-
tlnued till he is captured or out of the
country. The citizens of this county are
willing that Fresno County should have
Sontag for trial, as the train-robbery and
two OF the murders occurred there.
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SHOTS.
Marshal Gard, in an interview, says
he had warrant for the arrest of Evans
aud Sontag for destroying mail car. He
states that at least one hundred and thirty
shots were fired, and the fight lasted one
hour. His posse lived all the time in the
mountains on crackers, sardines and
water When the firing commenced, the
posse fought like demons. He gives
great praise to his men.
Jackson's leg was amputated this after
noon.
The Evans house is guarded tonight
Sontag says that in the fight at Young's
cabin he and Evans were both wounded.
The latter was grazed on the temple by a
ball, and Sontag was shot in the arm.
EVANS STILL AT LARGE.
NIsALIA, June 12.-At 10 O'Clock to-
night thorough search of the Evans
place was made, but the bandit was not
there. Half an hour later news was re-
ceived by courier that Evans was located
in Wilcox Canyon. Two posses left for
there, one at IL o'clock and another just
going.
Sontag's condition is much worse to-
night. His lungs are filling rapidly, and
the bandit is in great pain, necessitating
occasional doses of morphine. His ply
stefan at II o'clock says it is possible he
may live day or two, and may die to-
night or tomorrow. Sontag says he
wants to die.

PASSPORT SYSTEM IN CHINA.
"Favors and Restrictions Applied to

Americans
NEW YORK, June 12.-'Favors and Re-
strictions Applied to Americans in
China" was the title of a sermon
preached by Rev. Gilbert Reid in the
Spring-street Presbyterian Church yes
terday. Reid, who is a missionary, is in
this country on furlough after ten years.
work in China. Reid rehearsed what had
been done in partially throwing China
open to foreigners, the favors granted and
restrictions imposed. Then he compared
the passports which foreigners in China
must have to the certificates the China
men in this country are required to have
by the Geary law. He said:
Every foreigner who travels away
and this is much like the certificate of
Identification which our Government de-
sires of the Chinese. Our passports are
clearly certificates of identification, as
they clearly state the appearance of each
man, the color Of his hair, the shape of
his profile, the kind of whiskers and the
size of his physique. But there is one
distinction between these passports and
what our Government has demanded of
the Chinese. The Chinese passport sys-
tenn is established by treaty and must
have the seals of both Governments.
Furthermore. it is required of all foreign
ers, and not merely Americans. If our
country required the certificates of aliens
in this country, there could be no com
plant, for 1t would be exactly like the
passport system in China"

cause Loss of All the Potato and
Onion Crops In LowIands.
HAVANA, June 12.-Heavy rains pre-
vailed during the past week which have
caused the loss of all the potato and onion
crops in the lowlands of Guines, our
markets being supplied from New Or
leans and New York. The improved
price of sugar has given the planters Of
cane great encouragement for the future.
They are planting new land and taking
advantage of frequent showers. Many
sugar estates are enlarging their facilities
by putting in additional machinery and
new patent Bagasse burners, and large
contracts for cane grown by the colonists
and nearby farmers have been made for
the crop of 1894 at improved prices.
Sugarmaking for the season has closed.
All the help is engaged planting and Gull
tivating cane under the very favorable
weather prospects. The statistics of the
crop of 1898, brought up to the 3lst of
May, show falling off of 10000 tons of
sugar compared with 1892, or 20 per cent.

der discussion was the retirement from
Parliament of Thomas Sexton. After
considerable discussion the conference

COUNCIL OF TYPOS,
Annual Meeting of the International
Typographical Union,


CHICAGO, June 12.-The forty-first an

Typographical Union met to-day, with
300 delegates present. Mayor Harrison
welcomed the members. The conven-
ton then went into executive session on
the report of the Committee on the
Childs-Drexel Printers Home at Colo
RADIO Springs.
The Childs-Drexel Home has been the
bone of contention ever since its incep-
ton. The Board of Trustees have re-
ported impertections in the building, and
the expenses of operating it have been
greatly in excess of the original esti-
mates. 1t is also claimed that the pur-
poses for which the home was established
have not been carried out; that instead of
being a place for INDECENT unionists, it
has been turned into hospital for hope
less affections. The report OF the Board
of Trustees was considered in secret ses-
sion. and referred to a special committee.

AN ORDINANCE KNOCKED OUT
San Bernardino Tries to Protect Her

San Bernardino Tries to Protect Her
Forests, But to No Effect.
SAN BERNARDINo, June II. Some
months ago the Supervisors Of San Ber-
nardino County passed an ordinance pro-
hlbiuhg driving sheep over the public
highways in bands of over one hundred.
The object of the ordinance was to pre-
vent the sheepmen from driving their
bands to the mountain ranges and de-
stroying the underground of mountain
forests, thus impairing the Value OF
the water sheds that supply the fruit
colonies with water for irrigation pur-
poses.
A test case involving the constitution
allty of the ordinance was decided by
Judge Otis of the Superior Court this
morning.
The Judge held that the evidence
showed that the ordinance was unreason-
able and therefore unconstitutional. He
declared that the driving of small sheep
bands over the roads instead OF in large
droves was an Inconvenience to the tray
cling public rather than a benefit, as
smaller bands cut up the roads and
clouded them with dust for weeks at a
time, while large bands did no more
damage. The sheepmen are pleased with
the result, but the ordinance for collect
ing license of cents head is still in
force, and numerous arrests of sheepmen
are still being made

RAPID CITY is. d., June 1.-THE
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. cowboy race from
Chadron to Chicago begins Tuesday even
ing at o'clock at the crack of pistol
shot If all the entries start there will be
between thirty and forty in the 700-mile

the race. Each man leads an extra horse,
must ride in thirty-pound saddle and
weigh at least 120 pounds. An attempt
may be made by officers of the Humane
Society at Chadron to interrupt the race,
but the committee pronounces all fears of
cruelty to horses as idle, and is deter
mined that the great race shall be run.
The riders will not be allowed to ride
over twelve hours at a stretch, and every
precautlon will be taken to prevent
cruelty. Members Of the committee state
tonight that the Humane Society will
make no effort to stop the race.
