Cheyenne, Wyo., May 2S.-[Speciall-
Three leaders among the commonweal-
ers who stole a train at Montpelier,
Idaho, last week. and ran it wild to
Cokeville, Wyo, where the party was
captured, were sentenced today by
United States Judge j. A. Riner to
five months Imprisonment.
The others, numbering fifteen, got
four months. In sentencing the men,
Judge Riner said:
While the people of this state are
generous, and always willing to assist
the worthy who are unfortunate, yet
they are not in sympathy with any
man who violates the law. They have
not sent forth commonweaI armies to
coerce, by numbers, if not by actual
foEce, transportation from place to
place and subsistence without COM
pensation. They are industrious, eco
nomical and law-abiding. All prop
erty, whether owned by individuals or
corporations, is entitled to, and will
receive, full and equal protection un-
der the law, and any man who Illegally
interferes or attempts to interfere,
with another's property or with the
possession and use thereof, ought to
and surely will be punished for his
act''

UNDOUBTEDLY CRAZY.
That's What They Say of Mrs
Martin.

New York, May ga reporter of
the Associated Press called upon Seth
Terry, referred to in the telegram
from San Diego today, concerning the
disappearance of Caroline D. Martin,
Of New York When shown the dis
patch, he said he did not care to go
into the matter in any detail; that the
woman was undoubtedly insane, and
that no person who had the slightest
acquaintance with her would give Gre
dence to any charges she might make.
In evidence of this, Mr.. Terry showed
a letter received from DR.. Mary Put
nam Jacoby, who has known Mrs.
Martin for the past twelve years
stating there was absolutely no doubt
as to Mrs. Martin being insane; that
she CDR. Jacoby) has during this time
watched the gradual progress of the
disease.
Mr.. Terry also showed letter from
Mr.. Everett P. Wheeler, one of the
leading lawyers of this city, express
ing his regret that any such story
should have been circulated; that he
was personally familiar with all the
dealings which Mr.. Terry has had
with Mrs. Martin, and that he knew
Mr.. Terry to have conducted himself
in the matter with the utmost fidelity
and her interests were well treated al
his hands.

Mr.. Allison spoke at some length in
reply to Mr.. German, expressing re-
gret that the Maryland senator had not
gone more into detail in history of the
bill. Since May Z, the Republicans had
been trying to ascertain the principle
underlying the bill, and now, for the
first time, learned from Mr.. German
that bill was to make discrimination
in favor Of American labor and substi-
tuting President CleVeland's letter of
acceptance of 1892 as interpreted by
Mr.. German, for the platform of 1892.

NEW LAND COMMISSIONER.
VIM. II. Phipps Goes to the Northern
Pacific.

New York, May 23.-The committee
representing the consolidated mortgage
bonds and other junior issues of the
Northern Pacific, has made the cor
respondence between the company and
the receivers relative to the appoint
ment Of William H. Phipps, formerly
of the Chicago, St. Paul, MINNEAPOLIS
& Omaha railway, as land commission
er of the Northern Pacific The COM
mittee announces his acceptance. of his
new position on May l. with authority
to introduce desirable reforms in the
management of the land department.
The committee also made a formal an
nouncement Of its willingness to fur
nish, al z per cent. interest and with
out any commission whatever the
amount that may be required by the
receivers to pay interest and sink
ing fund charges of the first mortgage
bonds due July 90 This offer is based
on the fact that the receivers have
been obliged, by order of the court, to
assume operating expenses for six
months prior to appointment of re-
procurement by the receivers of an or
der from the court authorizing them
to issue their certificates having three
months to run for the million dollars,
more or less, which the committee NAV
provide to prevent a default upon the
first meeting bonds. The committee
calls the attention of bondholders to
the fact it is acting Independently of
the questions at issue between the
stockholders and the former manage
ment of the company.

Muncie, Ind, May 23-Last night
man with a strange history purchased
ticket at the Big Four depot and
boarded a train for Vanwert, Ohio.
Half an hour previous to his departure
he said:
ST am going to free a man who has
been in the penitentiary four years
and is innocent-John Vanniman, who
is serving a life sentence in the Michi-
gan state prison My name is John
Grow. A few days ago when l picked
up paper and read an article about
an attempt to secure the pardon or
Vanniman. who was in the penitentiary
on the charge of numbering me- May
%, 1885, 1 left my home in Vanwert
Ohio, and started for the Michigan
lumber camps. My brother-in-law,
John Vanniman decided to go with
me- He went as far as Big Rapids,
Mich. 1 had made the acquaintance
of two other men who were also going
north L tried to get my brother-in-
return to Vanwert, get his children
and go to Iowa. We continued our
trip leaving John in Big Rapids. did
not like living up there, so l went to
Minnesota In the fall of 1888 George
Winfield and Walter Rice, two middle
aged men with WnOm Hdu peCOLlS
acquainted, and myself left for the
west. 1 stayed out west until last
summer, when 1 came to the World S
fair. Last Wednesday, while at my
boarding house 1 read the article 1
mentioned. 1t completely unnerved me,
and I have been almost unfit for work
ever since. The paper stated that the
skeleton of man had been found near
! Big Rapids, alongside the Chicago &
West Michigan railroad, the same road
1 left on when L left Big Rapids, and
when it was learned 1 was missing the
authorities supposed it was my skele-
ton. 1t was found July s, 1885, or about
| ten days after 1 was there. 1t was
known that Vanniman left Vanwert
with me, therefore he was accused of
| the murder. He was then in Iowa,
but was taken to Mecosta county,
where he was tried and found guilty.
The judge sentenced him to life i'm
prisonment in the state prison at hard
labor, and 1 suppose that he is still
there, but l tell you that he is an in
nocent man.
When Grow finished his story he
was greatly excited and could hardly
wait until the train arrived.

"oRGANIzED WANT.
Representative Davis So Defines
Coxeyisnl.

CCX2ylSG2.
Washington, May 23.-Representa-
tives Davis and Taubeneck have been
making a careful estimate of the differ
ent bands of Coxeyites on their way
to Washington and claim that there
are 5000 men tramping or riding on
boats and borrowed" trains toward
the capital.
Mr.. Davis does not believe in the
wisdom or efficacy of the Coxey move
ment, and has written a magazine az
ticle in which he points out that the
movement is a result of currency con-
traction and summarizes it as Organ
lied Want
If the government should yield to
Coxey's demands, other armies would
march on the capital with other de-
mands, and the result would be gov
eminent by the multitude. The rem
edy for the present state of business,
he finds in the ballot, which he de-
fines as recorded opinion.
mo CoXeyites have come from Kan
sas,' he said in conversati ton on the
subject, because Kansas has ex-
pressed herself properly by her cleo
tons, and Nebraska, which is largely
a Populist state, has contributed not
more than seventy.11ve men,
By imprisoning the leaders, he says,
the authorities have made a swan out
of a goose. The chief danger from the
movement, he thinks, will develop
next fall, when the weather becomes
too cold for men to camp out doors.
Then he looks for the trouble.

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.
Another Onslaught on it Made in the
House.

Washington, May 23.-The onslaught
on the civil service commission, which
was started yesterday, was resumed
TODAY. and several times during the
day the question was disposed of only
to break out anew later in another
place.
The appropriation for commissioners
and clerks of the civil service bureau
having been stricken out yesterday, the
next paragraph, providing for the
transfer to the civil service commission
of clerks from the department, was
stricken out of the bill today. The
house refused to strike out the appro-
priation of $4,000 for travelling eX-
penses Of civil service examiners.
Another amendment made to the bill
gives the secretary of the treasury dis
erection in the temporary appointment
Of clerks to wind up the accounts OF
the divisions proposed TO be abolished,
instead Of taking them from the CLASH
fed service.
Prior TO going into committee of the
whole, the House passed the Senate bill
amending an act to provide for the
sale of the remainder of the reservation
of the confederate Otoe and Missouri
Indians in the states Of Nebraska and
Kansas.
The House adjourned at sos o'clock
after getting half way through the leg

washington, May Ex-senator Cor
mans speech was the feature OF the
DAVIS session. He and Mr.. Brice have
been credited by the opposition with
the Joint authorship Of the compro-
mise amendments, which consolidated
the Democratic side, and Mr.. German,
especially, has been subjected to much
criticism, both in and out of the Sen
ate.
His speech today. replying, in a
measure, to the attacks that had been
made upon him, explaining the neces-
s-'ty for the compromise, and defining
5 the theory upon which the modified
bill, now before the Senate. was con-
structed, attracted intense interest. 1t
was regarded as an exceedingly able
exposition of the position of the con-
servatives.
Mr.. Germans speech furnished the
texts for the Republicans for the re-
mainder of the day. His statement
that a majority of the Senate would
support the bill was put TO the test by
Mr. Teller, whose purpose was to
Smoke OUT any latent opposition on
q the Democratic side.
Mr. Germans statement was justi-
! fed by the vote, as the Colorado SEN
ator's motion to lay the tariff bill on
the table was met by an unbroken
Democratic front Both Senator Hill
; and Senator Irby, whose positions
have been the subject of gossip from
time to time voted with their Demo
cratic associates. as did the three Pop
ulists, including PETER. The rates
fixed today were as follows:
Railway bars, T rails. etc, seven
twentieths of a cent per pound; black
taggers. between 10 and 20; wire
gauge seven-tenths of cent per
pound; between 20 and % wire gauge
eight-tenths; thinner than %, one
tenth cent; iron and steel plates coat
ed with zinc or other metals. except
tin or tin plate one-fourth of a cent
more than rates in preceding para
graph.
Sheet iron or steel polished, 194 cents
per pound.

TRAMP TROUBLES CONTINUE.
More Attempts to Steal Trains il
Montana.

Missoula, Mont, May 23.-As the
eastbound fast freight was pulling out
Of Noacen. little station near the
Idaho line last night, 100 men, mem
bers OF the northwestern industrial
army boarded it. Major Carpenter,
who is at the state line with two COM
panies Of troops, was notified and a
special train bore him to the scene
when the troops soon dislodged the
CoXeyites and they are now camped
near Forton. There are 100 more just
west of there.
One hundred and fifty more are com
ing east from. Spokane and it is the
intention to steal another train as their
forces join.
The Idaho division is guarded by
troops but the Montana marshal has
not asked yet for military aid On the
Occur d'Alene branch near Iron Noun
tain, fifty Coxeyites climbed on work
train and attempted to get possession.
The work crew repulsed them, how
ever, and they made no further at
tempt. Two companies of troops at
Fort Missoula have been ordered to be
ready to move and are now awaiting
final orders from st. Paul

ST. LOUIS SHAKEN UP.

St. Louis, May 23.-In the west end
the fashionable residence portion of
this city, distinct earthquake shock
was felt tonight. Several parties re-
turning from the theatre about mid
night experienced the shock which last
ed about two seconds. kilograms from
Murphysborough and Anna, Ills, state
that similar shocks was felt there at
about the same time.
A special to the Republic from Cape
Girardeau, Mo, says: Quite a severe
earthquake, lasting nearly a minute
was felt here at $50 this afternoon
Doors, windows and crockery respond
ed noisily The shock came from the
southwest and was proceeded by low
rumbling noise.
of five seconds duration was felt at
5:5S this evening. The fluctuations
were from east to west.

pEFoRREsTes VIEWS.
Not Surprised at the Actions on the
Civil Service Commission.

Washington, May 23.-Chairman De-
forrest, of the civil service commission
of the House, says: Il am not sur
prised at the vote in the House to cut
off appropriations for the civil service
commission 1 have noticed a strong
tendency that way for some time. 1t
is probable the allowance for the COM
mission will be cut off on the yea and
nay vote yet to be taken. / doubt,
however, if the Senate will thus
emasculate the commission. If it does,
L do not believe President Cleveland will
sign the legislative bill, although it
will be a perplexing problem to him
for him to veto the entire appropria-
ton bill for paying officers in order to
save this one commission"
Mr.. Enloe, the author of the amend
ment which cuts off the civil service
appropriation, says:
From assurances [ have received,
think the House will stand by the
amendment on a yea and nay vote.
The success of the move voices the
feeling of the country against civil ser
vice methods, particularly the action of
Commissioner Lyman in deferring the
extension of civil service over the rail-
road service. I will introduce a bill
to repeal the civil service law"

The Resolutions.

Washington, May 23.-The bi-metallic
league today considered the report of
the committee on resolutions. AS
finally adopted, the resolutions declare
the league is unalterably opposed to
the further issue of Understanding
bonds; that, before casting their votes
for congressman, the members of the
league will require assurance of adj
herence to the free coinage of silver
and gold at 16 to /, and pledge that
if bill providing for such coinage is
passed by Congress, and vetoed by the
president, they will work and vote to
pass the bill over the presidents veto;
that if the election of president is
thrown into the House, they will vote
only for the person in favor Of free
coinage; denounce the present system
of national banks as the monumental
monopoly of the nineteenth century;
recommend the enactment of a system
of currency that will insure a per cap
tia circulation of $50, to be made up by
the free coinage of silver and gold at
16 to l, and the issue of the treasury
notes; assert the discontinuance of the
