 HERMoslLLo, MEXICO, July 24.-- An American miner named Chas. Hoogland went to the chief off cer of the custom house guards, in the border town of Jasade, this state, in the winter of 1890. and reported that in the night a band of smugglers would cross the line into the United States with large cargo of dutiable goods.
 The guards immediately started for the reported rendezvous of the smugglers, guided by Hoogland and on the following morning returned bearing Hcogland's dead body and announced he was killed in an en- counter with smugglers. There be- ing some doubts raised by friends of the murdered man as to the circumstances under which he met his death, the chief customs officer was arrested charged with being i'm plicaied in the crime. He was tried and acquitted, but a few days ago some facts in regard 10 the killing of Hoogland were discovered and the Mexican official was again ar rs l He is now in jail.

An Administration Paper Says He should
 be Impsacbed--so It Goes.

COLUMBIA, s. C., July A Judge Hudson's decision refusing the or der for search and seizure in the case of J W James, Darlington saloon keeper, reported for selling liquor, provokes the administrators local organ to say tho judge ought to be impeached, and charac- terizes him as the liquor men's best friend. In discussing the decision of the dis pensary act authorizing the officer to search the mans premises and con Gscate his personal property, Judge Hudson says: .iif the construction of tho act contended for by the plaintiff be correct, or fl tho act be enforced ss the terms demand, then no citizen in the land, high or low, in city, town or country, in what ever calling, trade or busi- ness, is safe from unreasonable searches and seizures,' and if, per chance, he keeps wines or liquors in his place of business or residence, for private use of himself, family or friends, the liquors and all per sonal property are subject to seizure to abide the result of the indict- ment or action for abat- ing a nuisance. Each and every citizen is thus placed at the mercy of envy, malice and revenge, the secret spy or hos tile neighbors. The dangerous con- sequences of such licenses and im- munity given to a malicious persecu- tor are too apparent to call for comment

 Hands of a Mob
 MEMPHIS, July 24 -The jail of Shelby county, within the limits of the city of Memphis, was broken into by several hundred men at mid night Saturday night, and Lee Walker, S repulsive black man, was taken out and strung up to tele- graph pole near the banks of Wolf river, and within few hundred yards of the jail. Afterwards his body was cremated, scraps of timber from a sawmill near by being used for this work.
 The negro culprit was native of North Mississippi, and his calendar of crimes is among the blackest in history Within the past week he has made four attempts to commit rape, but two being successful, one victim being small colored girl of 12 years, who was badly lacerated. and the other a married woman of his own color.
 Last Tuesday, fifteen miles cast of this city, he dragged Miss Mollie McCadden from her horse on the public highway and attempted to outrage her, she only escaping by the aid of her sister, who beat the lecherous villain off with a heavy brush, after both girls were stripped of their clothing.
 An alarm was spread and posses of armed citizens chased the negro across the country southward for more than thirty miles. He was finally captured at the house of his mother, seven miles from New Al bany, Miss, at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, brought here after sunrise and rested in jail until the mob took him out for execution, as noted.
 He made full confession of his brutal crimes. He had only been out of jail few weeks, where he answered for rape in the vicinity of his parents home.

 LONDON, July 24-The Pail Mali Gazette, commenting upon the situation in an article headed "Blackmail," says: "Siam has spoken with dignity and moderation She gives up too much, but she does not for a moment recognize the other preposterous demands made upon her. In regard to these de- mands, France must reckon with England. We must not hesitate to let our voice be heard.
 Lord Roseberry and Lord Duffein, British ambassador to France, must be alert and M. Develle, French foreign minister, careful. If France cherishes the idea of bombarding Bangkok let her remember English gun-boats in Siamese waters could blow the French gun boats out of the water in half an hour. Let France pocket her blackmsil and be content.

 WASHINGTON, D. G., July 24.-- As viewed at the treasury depart ment the week begins with brighter financial prospects,. A num- Der of recently failed banks are taking the necessary steps to resume, and Comptroller Eckles is lending them all the aid possible. He was notified this morning the failed First National Bank of Kehdallville, Ind, and the failed Northern National Bank of Big Rapids, Mich, will probably resume business this week. The First National Bank, of Santa Ana, Cal, which resumed business, started after a short suspension, has received deposits of SIP, ,000, while the withdrawals amounted to only $6000. This is regarded here as evidence of confidence being practically restored on the Pacific coast.
