AFTER SEVEN YEARS.
At Last Mexico Pays Indemnity
to Mrs. Baldwin.
fier Husband Was FouIiy Murdered
While Experimenting the
Rich Valencia Mines.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-A celebrated
case. which has occupied a good part OF
the attention of the State Department for
seven years and has also figured in Con-
gress for several years. has just come to a
successful termination. and the Mexican
Government has placed with the State
Department. to the credit of Mrs. Leon
Mcleod Baldwin, the sum of $4,000 as
indemnity for the assassin alton of her hus-
band.
Mr.. Baldwin was superintendent or
manager of the Valencia mines. In
August 1887. while making a tour OF a
group of mines belonging to a party of
American capitalists he was fired on by
two desperadoes and was badly wounded
and sought refuge In tunnel. The des-
peradoes called upon the unarmed miners
to surrender Mr. Baldwin or they would
fire on them.
To save the lives of the helpless men
Mr.. Baldwin surrendered himself on
promise that he would be allowed to pay
a ransom and 60 free. The bandits put
him ON a mule. hurried him down the
road and in few minutes shot him through
the brain and disappeared.
The Mexican Government renouncsd re-
sponsibllity for the assassin alton and has
taken seven years TO determine otherwise.

REDS NOTWANTED.
Report of the Judiciary
Committee.
DEPORTATION is FAVORED.
This Country Must Not Become
a Rendezvous
FOR "THosE HUMAN MONSTERS" +"
Recommendations Made for the Rigid
Exclusion of the Incoming
Anarchists.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-A strong re-
port favoring the rigid exclusion and de-
portation of alien anarchists has been
made by the Committee on Judiciary.
The report says:
''It is admitted on all hands the question
is one of very great Importance and that
legislation Oh the subject is called for by
every consideration of public safety. The
committee advises that owing to the severe
legislation recently adopted by France and
Italy great many dangerous anarchists
are making their way to the United
States, and as under existing laws they
cannot be denied admission to our terri
tory the United States will soon be the
rendezvous of these human monsters IN
less the proposed legislation is speedily
adOpted.
Your committee Is Of the opinion the
United States is fully justified by existing
conditions in using all its powers to pre-
vent immigration and settlement in this
country of men who repudiate all law, all
government and practically proclaim
themselves as the enemies of mankind"
The report takes up the various objec-
tiOns made to the proposed measures and
disposes of each of them. Concerning the
UUJoCtlOH IudS luc Ulll Is ldulLy III uOb u6-
fining anarchy the report SAYS: LAS the
meaning of the word is defined as 'Ab-
sence Of government; the state of society
where is no law or supreme power; a state
of lawlessness; political confusion and
its meaning we'll known, it is considered un-
necessary to incumber the act with a
special definition"
The committee meats the objection that
a person should not be charged with
anarchy and deported without jury trial by
saying: ut would hardly be contended,
We suppose, that the Government ought to
maintain a jury at every port of entry for
the purpose of passing on the Qualifca-
tions of immigrants who desire to enter.
We are unable to perceive upon what prin-
cple jury trial is in sisted upon in order
TO deport an alien whose residence in the
country is considered detrimental to the
public welfare"
lu conclusion the report states that there
is full constitutional power for the eu-
aetment of the proposed law, and that
there is urgent necessity for the immedi-
ate passage of the bill.

SOME STRANGE. METHODS.
PecuIiarities of Life at MIR. PulIman's
Model Town.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-A. j. Carroll. editor
Of the Eight-hour Herald, was the first
witness before the Strike Commissioners
to-day. He told of the efforts of the Civic
Federation to settle the Pullman strike.
He was informed by the Pullman officials
that they had nothing to arbitrate. BE
believed that compulsory arbitration ap-
piled to quasi public industries would be
beneficial, and read letter from a friend
in New Zealand showing the beneficial re-
suits of Government ownership of rail-
roads and telegraphs.
Malcolm Mcdowell, a newspaper re-
porter. told of the overturning of the cars
at Pullman. He said there were no rail
road strikers in the mob.
Rev. l.. M. Wickham, pastor OF the
Swedish Methodist church at Pullman,
was emphatic in his denunci alton of the
methods of the Pullman Company.
when business gets slack" he said. "the
company's employees living outside of
Pullman are ordered to move into the
cOmpany's houses on peril of losing their
positions. Men who have attempted 10
buy homes on the installment plan are the
first laid off when the force is reduced.
One man, injured in the shops, was taken
to the hospital. Later l saw a sworn
statement, purporting TO be signed by him,
in which be said the accident was en- tirely
unavoidable. l know the paper was a
forgery, for on the date on which it was
made the man was unable to write his
name. One of the worst features of the
Pullman system of house renting is the
immortality 1t encourages. Many work
men are compelled to rent rooms. The
houses are so arranged that roOmers must
pass through family sleepiug-rOoms, and.
as a result, the morality of Pullman is
much below that of surrounding towns"
Roy Baker, a Chicago reporter. was
called upon for an account of the riot at
Hammond. Baker stated he was in the
midst of the mob and saw no A. r. U.
men or railroad strikers, the crowd being
made up of toughs and outsiders. He said
that shortly before the United States
troops fired small body of men surround
ed by women, children and other specta-
tors attempted to overturn some Pullman
cars. Without warning, the witness de-
clared, the troops fired, killing and wound
ing several people, all of wnom were in
nOcent spectators.
John c. Donnelly, Chief Deputy United
States Marshal, was asked: "As to the
acts of violence, were they committed by
railroad men as far as you know?"
mo, sir; all the violence and burning
of cars l saw at the stOckyards was done
by lot of tough kids about Is years old
or a little older"

COILS REPRESENTED
His Agents Are Very Active at
the Capital.
1t Is Said That Mr.. Reilly Makes
Daily Reports to Lobbyist
John Boyd.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Mr. huntington
has not been in Washington for three or
four weeks, but his agents have been
actively at work. Huntington was given
to understand that the funding bill would
60 over until next winter. so he has deemed
his continued presence here unnecessary.
1t is intimated that Chairman Reilly makes
daily reports to Lobbyist John Boyd and
the latter communicates the latest intelli-
gence to his chief in New York.
Reilly is apparently much annoyed over
reports that he is taking a very active part
in Huntington's interest He protests
that his motives are patriotic purely; that
his bill is the best one yet devised to pro-
tect the Governments claim, aud goes so
far as to predict that the California repre-
sentatives in Congress will yet support II.
The latter only laugh at Reilly's idle talk
an1 keep right on in their campaign of
Pacific railroad education.
Reiliy's opposition to the payment of
81, 800, 600 to the Southern Pacific Company
for transportation of mail and army sup
plies caused no little comment among Con-
gressmen. They were at loss to reconcile
this course with his advocacy of the fund
ing bill.
This little trick need deceive no one"
said California member of Congress to-
day. at Is only one of the little tricks of
the legislative trade. 1t is done to create
the impression that the Pennsylvanian is
entirely disinterested personally In the
success OF the funding bill. and to dispel
the prevailing impression that he Is
actively at work in the interest Of the Gen.
trail Pacific"
The activity Of Representative Blair,
another mem Der of the Pacific railroads
committee, in favor of the funding bill has
been cause of considerable comment.
Blair and Stanford used to be person al
friends when thew were In the Senate
together, and the New Hampshire states
man was under financial obligations to
Stanford. The published inventory of the
Stanford estate showed that Blair was in
debted to Stanford in the sum of $4,000.

MURDERERS CAPTURED.
Run to Earth After Lapse Of Four
Years.


SEDAN, Kans., Aug. 21.-After a lapse
of four years the cowardly murderers of
John s. Frazer, a prominent cattle-dealer
of this county, have been captured. They
are all prominent farmers or business men
living 10 this vicinity, and news of their
arrest has caused a sensation. Their
names are. Theodore F. Cox. Mark McBee.
William Licklister. John r. and Elmer
Cox.
The crime with which the men are
charged was one of the most cold-blooded
ever committed in Kansas. In 1890 w. II.
Gibson and j. S. Frazer were partners in
an extensive cattle business in Chautauqua.
They imported 400 head of Texas steers.
to which neighbOriDg raiSers objected,
fearing they would spread Texas fever
Gibson and Frazer refused to move the
cattle, however, and in consequence were
thTeatened with death. They paid no
heed to the threats, but In May OF that
year Gibson was found dead in a hotel at
Moline, Kans.
In June Frazer was missed and after a
long search his body covered with knife
cuts was found in nsighboring stream.
Gibson's death was thought to have been
caused by heart disease. but the finding of
FraZer's body led TO the murder theory.
Since then the search for the murderers
has quietly progressed. eliminating to-day
