Sentences Imposed Upon Thomas,
Greenwald and Wichman.
SAN Francisco, June 5.-The Emer-
aid smugglers. George n. Thomas, Lewis
Greenwald and George Wichman, were
brought before United States District
Judge Morrow for sentence to-day. The
court overruled both motions for a new
trial and arrest of Judgment. The attor-
neys for the defense then pleaded for
light sentences. Judge Morrow sue
cinctly traced up the history Of the case
as shown by the testimony, how the
prisoners, more than year ago, entered
into a conspiracy to import Cinnamon
and opium from British Columbia in
violation Of law and how they landed two
smuggled cargoes of Chinese and opium
at Golden Gate heads and sent the contra
band imDortations into this city. The
Judge spoke with severity of the lax
execution of the law by officers in con-
nection with smuggling, saying 1t was
shame and disgrace that such dereliction
should exist.
Thomas was the first commanded to
stand up and receive sentence for his
crime. The Judge said: ut is the judg-
ment of this court that you be fined the
sum of $1,000 on the first count, and I'M
prisonment in San Quentin prison for
term of two years, and that you remain
in prison until the fine is paid"
The same sentence was repeated as to
counts four and eleven, making an ag-
gregate of $4,000 fine and six years i'm
prisonment. One of these counts was
for conspiracy and the other two for
smuggling opium. The matter of fraud
ulently importing Chinese was allowed
to go by default at the request of Dis
trict Attorney Carter
Gree invalid and Wichman each received
like sentence as Thomas.

CAUSES OF THE RESULT.
PORTLAND, June 5.-Of Mondays cleo
ton the Oregonidn (Rep.) will say
The result is due to two causes.
First and most largely to the dread
OF all good citizens of the fruits
of Populism in leg islation and adj
ministration. Their dread defeated the
efforts of fusion between Populists and
Democrats, kept a third ticket in the
field, and drew thousands of Democrats
TO the Republican ticket. The second
cause was less patent, but is visible in the
profound change made in large wool
growing counties, which also were deeply
infected with the Populist craze. Some
of these counties, heretofore Democratic,
are now thoroughly Republican upon the
State and Congressional ticket, while
some of them elect Populist county offi-
GERS. Some of this change, no doubt, is
due to discomfort with the tariff policy of
the Administration. On that issue, as
we'll as on Populism. Democrats have
broken party ties to vote their economic
convictions.
