QUEEN VERONA telegraphed to the
Pope congratulatipg him on completing
the fifty years Of his episcopate and sin
cerely wishing him health and happiness.
As the Queen is the head of the Protest
ant church of England, it must appear in
comprehensive to that portion of her
subjects known as the followers of King
William of Orange why her gracious ma
jesty should bother her royal head with
the old man who rules the "Romish"
church from the banks of the Mber. II
would be funny if the foolish Orangemen
would protest against the courteous COM
pliment paid BY the British monarch to
the head of the Catholic Church.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Sit is probable
that the protests of the Chinese govern
mcnt against rigid execution of the
Geary exclusion law are to be respected
and that legislation may be enacted
which will amend the existing law by
extending the limit allowed for regis
ura,ion, although in no wise recedinS
from the position heretofore assumed
by this government as TO the constitu'
tionality of the measure. The new Chi
nese minister arrived at the national
capital last week, and since that time
there have been consultations between
the president and his cabinet aud rep
resentatives of the Chinese govern
ment, While the Chinese minister re.
Trained from committing his govern
ment as to the policy to be pursued in
case the Geary Law remained perma-
nently on the statute books, he has no,
hesitated to express the belief that
rigid enforcement of the law at this
time would be grave injustice to those
Chinese who, under the belief that the
law Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, a belief which
certainly had the color Of probability,
since three judges OF the supreme court
OF the United States had concurred
therein, failed to register within the
prescribed time.
The result of these conferences is
that Congressman Everett Of Massa-
chusetts today introduced in the house
a bill which extends the time of regis
tration from May 5, 1893, to September
l, 1894. The effect of this bill, II en-
acted into law, will be to practically
nullify the Geary law until September
/, 1894, when 1t will go into effect with
all its specifications. It's passage, It is
thought, will restore cordial relations
between the United States and China.
There Il some fear evidently that the
Chinese government will retaliate when
an attempt Is made to enforce the act.

Frank l.. Wilson and Charles Hart

Following are the particulars:
Wilson and Hart occupied adjoining
homes,eads, having bought out the rights
of other parties some time ago. They
had ALWAYS been warm friends, and II
was al Harris solicitation that Wilson
took the adjoining homestead. They
held squstter's rights, the land only hav-
ing been recently surveyed.
Wilson conducts the dining room on
the fourth floor o: the Nichols block In
Spokane, visiting his ranch at irregular
intervals.
Last Tuesday he drove TO his ranch,
accompanied by Mr.. Burnett. and on his
arrival was surprised To find Mrs Hart
living In the house. She told Wilson
she was holding the place for him. Hart
was out at the stable and Wilson and
Burnett went out TO see him. Wilson
carried a repeating rife, having been
hunting. lie told Hart that IL was 4
dirty way he tH,rtl had treated him.
Ito, words followed and the men ciineh-

Hart struggled for possession of viii
sons gun and got il. lie raised 1t To his
shoulder, and Wilson begged him no, to
shoot. Hart fired, however. the ball
passing through Wilson's clothes and
grazing his left side. Again Hart raised
the gun to fire, when Wilson Jumped
back. aud pulling a pistol from his poek
ct, shot Hart through the heart. He
jumped into the air, fell forward, and
was dead.
Mrs. Hart came up when the dght
began and heard Wilson beg her hus-
band not 10 shoot.
Wilson at once won't to the house of
a neighbor, who accompanied him to the
scene of the tragedy, and, AT Wilson's
request, placed him under arrest and
the justice OF the peace and constable

Al IL o'clock the next day coroncr's
jury was summoned and an In jucst held
The Jury exonerated Wilson on the
grounds OF sclf-defense.
Al the inquest Harris wife admitted
that her husband and herself had been
scheming TO acquire Wilson's homestead.
and produced three agreements between
herself and husband, one signed before
they were married, TO the effect that
she was to permit Hart to secure a di.

sons homestead while Hart held his own

to be remarked. They had been mar.

ly as usual, assuring Wilson that his
ranch was all right and that he would
look after 1t for him. A week later Hart
was again in town, but never went near
Wilson.
A few days ago Wilson got a letter
from Mr.. Jones, the storekceper at usk,
informing him that his hired man had
run bill Of SAL at the store, and that
he (Jones) had attached the furniture In
Wilson's house. This took wr. Wilson
to the ranch. when he learned for the
first time that Hart had Jumped Il, and

you that an outbreak may occur at any
moment unless assurances Of some form
are given by the authorities at Wash
Ington that the laws of the United
States regarding Chinese will be car.
ried into effect within a reasonable
time. Whatever the authorities may
think of the wisdom of the Geary law.
the fact that 1t is law and the further
fact that 1t has been enforced by those
In authority, furnishes an excuse for
those lawlessly inclined, TO break the

citizens. shall do all / ought 10 to
protect these people, but can not be
held responsible beyond that point.
Many OF our good citizens believe a
positive message by the president TO
congress would result, in an immediate
appropriation sufficient to remove the
only objection thus far made to the
complete enforcement of this law. Our
PEOPLE have great confidence in the
legal opinions of United States District
Judge Ross, and IL is evident to all that
the gravest complications in the state
must ensue unless steps are at once
taken to harmonic and settle this i'm

EXPOSITION BURNED.


Inc sfbOkn0e Mammoth structure He.

SPOKANE. Sept. 1.-The Spokane ex-
position building was entirely destroyed
BY fire last night. The blaze was first
seen at 1890 p. N. In i've minutes the
entire building was in flames. In ten
minutes the roof was gone and 10 TWEEN
~ minutes from the time the alarm was
turned In nothing remained but seeth-
Ing furnace Of tumbled beams, lying
criss-cross and tangled like house Of
toothpicks that had fallen.
1t was a wonderful scene, and the like
of It has not been witnessed in Spokane
since the big fire of 1883. The building
was zoo by 800 feet on the ground floor
and was three stories high. 1t was
built of wood and dry a. finder. Once
the blaze got started, with a strong
breeze blowing, it spread like flames in
a well-rosined bonfire. The streaks of
light did not crawl up the great tim
bers-they went mp as II trains of
powder had been laid to help them. As
the Gre spread the draught grew
stronger, until, when the flames touched
the roof and licked few holes through
the shingles, the whole vas lifted like
a balloon, broke into thousand pieces,
the heavier timbers falling down into
the fiery furnance and boards and shin
giles being carried up sky high, to fall
in cinders thousands Of feet from the
building. Then the flames mounted 200
feet into the air. Millions of sparks
shot up and up, until the eyes grew
tired from watching and the neck ached
from the unusual position
Though the greatest part of the FIRE
display was over in half an hour, the
pine timbers that covered the ground
continued to burn until daylight.
The less on the building is $3.50, 900,
on which there is no insurance. 1t Is
believed the FIRE is the work of incen.
diaries.
