carefully prepared statement of the con-
dition in which he finds the national
finances. az well as the methods pro-
posed by him to afford relief. Carlisle
prefers that congress should deal with
this matter, but il the national legisla-
ture fails to within three or four weeks
show any indication that it intends to
aid the secretary of the treasury, it is
known he will be forced to avail himself
of the authority granted him by the act
OF 1874 and Issue the bonds necessary
to replenish the reserve.
ALI the statements to the effect that
orders have been given the bureau of
engraving and printing for plates. Q tc
are q pure fabrication. Absolutely no
action has been taken and no plans de-
cided upon. This much can be officially
stated. The attitude OF New York
banks, as expressed in recent pubica-
tions in regard to furnishing gold for
export, should such necessity arise,
possibly had some effect in strengthen
ing the feeling that the government
should issue bonds to protect the gold
reserve. 1t is denied, however, that
any agreement has ever existed by
which the banks are to furnish gold.
A prominent Democratic senator eaid
today that Secretary Carlisle would not
allow the gold reserve to fall below $50
100000, and should the reserve be re-
duced to nearly that point before con-
gress acted, Csrlisle would Immediately
issue bonds. When this statement was
shown Senator Voorhees,, chairman OF
the finance committee, he declined to
either verify or deny it, only saying:
"The secretary OF the treasury has
au thority and the disposition to protect
the credit of the government. and have
no doubt he will act promptly and ef-
fectively if the emergency should arise"
Senator Voorhees, does not deny the
report that he is preparing a bill to
meet the emergency, but this statement
would seem to indicate that he does not
expect to be called upon to formulate a
measure.
With reference to the opinion that 9
bill for bond issue cannot originate in
the senate, it can be stated that the
lawyers in the senate are generally of
the opinion that it can originate there
az we'll as in the house. Senator Gray
says the house would probably make
row over such action on the part OF the
senate, but in his opinion the issuance
of bonds is not raising revenue as pro-
vided for in the conetitution.

THREE LIVES FOR ONE.
A TRIPLE LYNCHING AT RUS
SELL, KANSAS.
j. G. Burton and William and John
Gay Hanged by a Mob for Killing
Fred Dtnning-The Mob's
Quiet Work.

RUSSELL, Kan, Jan. 14.-Last night
a mob Of about 20 men entered the Jail,
took out J, G.. Burton, william Gay and
his son, John Gay, and hung the trio to
small railroad bridge short distance
east OF the depot, between the hours OF
/ and 2 O'Clock. About midnight the
residents of the north part of town heard
d party OF 15 or 20 horsemsn come in
from the north, who left their horses
at the stock yards, where plans we're ar
ranged ani the mob proceeded to the Jail.
few citizens who happened to be out
late noticed the suspicious actions OF the
mob, but were powerless to thwsrt
their purpose, and watched the proceed
ings from safe distance. No officers
were aroused or even were aware what
was going on, until early morning, 30
quiet were the actions Of the mob.
Orders were given by signs and obeyed
without word being spoken.
In the Jail were two steel cells in
which the prisoners were confined.
Guards were placed about the Jail, and
it was but the work OF moment for
the balance of the mob to gain en-
trance. About this time Burton gave
a few loud yells and asked what was
wanted with him. The masked mob
began to break the locks with sledge-
hammers. Burton was the first one
taken out and proceeded with to the
spot selected for the lynching and left
under q guard. the balance of the party
returning and joining the guards watch
ing the Jail. The two Gays were then
marched to the bridge where Burton
had been left.
Ropes were placed around their necks
and each was given chance to speak.
Burton said he could tell lots about his
connections with stealing cattle, selling
whisky and other things, but when asked
to tell about the Dinning murder, re-
piled: mo, SIR" Young Gay made 8
PRAYER and said Burton had killed Din
ming with an ak. Old man Gay stated /:
1--WE were led into this" The leader
then clapped his hands three times,
and quick as flash all three were
pushed off the bridge.
The Gays evidently died from strang-
ulation, but the moose on Burton's neck
slipped around up over his chin and he
was heard to breathe heavily for mo.
ment. when several shots we're fred into
his body. Each OF the others also had
a bullet sent into him. The mob then
left as quickly as it came, going north.
The crime for which the men were
lynched was the killing OF Fred Dinning
in July last, on the Burton place, about
20 miles north OF this place.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 1z.-Another
rumor is current as to the method the
Duval club will pursue in preventing
the governor from interfering with the
Corbett-Mitchell contest. 1t is con-
ceded that the means employed by
Governor Mitchell, should be decide to
stop the contest, will be to order the
sheriff to inform the executive il the
county authorities will be unable to
cope with the threatened disturbance,
and if the aid of the militia will be nee
essary. 1t is rumored, however. that
day or two before the contest, the Duval
club will apply to Judge Call of the cir
cult court for an injunction restraining
the sheriff from interfering in any way
with the contest. If the injunction ia
granted, it will be impossible for the
governor to act, as by the laws of Flor
ida he is not empowered TO order out
the militia without q call from the
sheriff Of the county. The Du-
val clubs argument will be that
az the county solicitor refused to intro
duce evidence against CorbAtt and
Mitchell when they were arrested for
arranging a glove contest, such con-
test is therefore not illegal, and the
Duval club has large amount of money
contest be prevented. 1t ie believed an
injunction will be granted ON these
grounds, but there are other reasons
why the club is confident of attaining
svch an end. Several years ago, when
Judge Call was county solicitor, case
similar to the Corbett-Mitchell case was
before the court, and ne nolle pressed It
on the ground that there was no law
against such an affair. It ID not known
that his opinion has since changed.
The general opinion is that there will
be but little trouble in securing an in
junction. The club is still confident
that the contest will take place, and all
the work of the preparation OF the arena
is being pushed with all possible speed,
Mrs. Corbett, who has been slightly
i'll at Mayport, is much worse tonight,
congestion OF the stomach having set in.
A battle for $500 side has been ar
ranged to take place next week in st.
Augustine between Pat fnseiy, local
widdleweight, and Harry Darrin, an
English runner, who is with the Mitch
ell party. Darrin is fairly clever boxer,
and is thought to have the better chance
Of the two.
The Associated Press correspondent
here learned today that Governor
Mitchell has been having the adjutant-
general OF the state miliIla notify the
captains of companies to hold their men
in readiness for call to action. Not
only has the subject been mentioned to
the Jacksonville officers, but also to the
officers who command in companies in
surrounding towns.

Two Virginia Despsradoes Killed by

Two Virginia Desperadoes Killed by
Peace Officers.
WESTON, w. Va, Jan. 14.-Informa-
ton was received here this afternoon Of
the apprehension Of Calvert and Hem
non Fleming, two notorious outlaws for
whom the state OF Virginia offers
reward of $4,000 and the county 5000.
They are charged with having commit
ted five different murders and several
highway robberies. The Fleming
brothers have been fugitives from
justice long time. They successfully
evaded the officers and made their way
overland to Boggs, in the mountains OF
West Virginia, where they believed
themselves sale. Saturday evening they
stopped at the store of John Boggs. The
outlaws had been traced to this neigh
borhood by four officers from Virginia,
who were seeking their arrest. While
the Flemings were engaged making pur-
chaees at the store, officers cane in and
demanded an immediate surrender, but
the desperadoes resisted arrest and
opened fire. The shots were returned
bv the officers and fierce conflict en-
sued. Calvert Fleming was killed out
right and his brother Hennon mortally
wounded, with three ehots in the left
breast. He is still alive but cannot
recover. Two officers, John H. Branham
and "Doc" Swannell were seriously
wounded The injuries OF the former
are considered fatal and Swannell's con-
dition is doubtful.
