Serious trouble Aboard the British

HALIFAX, n. s., Feb. 8.-There is
trouble amounting almost to mutiny on
the British warship Canada, now in the
West Indies. 1t has manifested itself
since the ship was re-commissioned.
The matter has been kept as quiet as
possible to prevent getting into the news
oapera. The admiral visited every ship
of the squadron Christmas day and was
received on all the ships in hearty
manner by the men, with the single ex.
ception of the crew Of the Canada. On
board that ship there were no decora-
tions or anything to indicate festive
season. On each mess table was a tin oi
water and plate of ships biscuit. The
admiral was received in silence by the
men. December 10th royal naval sport,
took place and not one of the crew oi
the Canada entered any of the contests
1t is rumored the admiral has asked the
admiralty to order the Canada home.

Their Cabin and All Their Supplies
Destroyed.

By the Associated Press.
FRESNO, Feb. 8.-Judging from news
received this evening from the mount
aims of Tulare, the course of the no.
torious bandits Evans and his partner,
Ed Morel, will soon be run. About 5
O'Clock Tuesday evening part of Sheriff
Scott's posse surprised Evans and Morel
at one of their hiding places between
Camp Badger and Sequoia Mills, and
the bandits who had done 80 much
boasting fed hastily in their shirt
sleeves. not even taking time to fire a
shot at their pursuers.
After the encounter at Slick Rock last
Sunday, Sheriff Scott went at once to
Camp Badger, and with his posse and
two others engaged in the vicinity took
the trail and persistently pursued it.
The posse engaged in ucouting the terri-
tory above Camp Badger was composed
OF two squads acting in concert. One
party was searching the thick growth OF
msnzanita, chapparel and scrub oak
that makes such tangled mat OF
those hillsides that it 10 almost impos-
sible to crawl through. The squad found
a narrow track that had been cut out
where the growth was thinned, and find
ing tracks there they knew at once they
were on the trail of the bandits, as they
were satisfied they were in the vicinity.
This narrow trail was cut out under
meath the bushes SO that the officers had
to crawl to get through.
About a quarter OF mile from the
Camp Badger road they broke through
this tangled brush, and as they did so
Will Henry saw Evans and Morel in
their shirt sleeves, logging it away from
a well-bid hut under a cliff into copse
on the other side of the canon. They
fred three shots after them without
effect.
Further pursuit at the time was inn
possible, it being too dark, 90 the OH
GERS investigated the hiding place OF the
bandits.
The cabin, which is hid under an
overhanging rock and by the scrut
growth, was built of rough lumber evi-
IDENTIFY obtained from Moore d Smiths
| mill by some sy IaPs:hiZs.s and prong al
tn the proper point on the grade and
hacked down to the bottom of the caficn.
! In it they found the bandits rubber
and cloth overcoats. and over
500 rounds of ammunition and large
quantity of provisions. They also found
Evans' false hand. which the bandit
claimed was OF 80 much service to him.
The fugitives managed to get away with
their Winchesters, but all the ammuni-
ton they had was that in their belts.
After taking possession OF the ammu'
milton left by the bandits, the cabin was
destroyed. The posse resumed the trali
the following morning and followed the
| handita to Ashon valley, across 1t and
up the mountains. 1t is almost certain
thew will be run down within day OF
40. Sheriff Scott and Deputy Miles re-
turned to Redly today, exhausted by
the rough trip.

in which the waves had swept the

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 8.-The supreme
court today decided that Governor Lew
cling had no authority to remove Mrs.
Mary E. Lease from the state board of
charities.
The court was unanimous. the Popu-
list member concurring with the two
Republicans. The court holds that the
governor had no right to remove Mrs.
Lease or appoint successor, as she was
appointed for year and confirmed by
the senate. unless charges were pre-
ferred and sustained. and that Freeborn
who has been acting as her successor is
q usurper.
Mrs. Lease says she intended to re.
sign, as the salary was no object, but
she learns the governor has plan TO
charge her with bribery in letting con-
tracts for supplies to state institutions.
These she says are false, and she pro-
poses to remain in Office and fight them.

Mississippi and New York.

In 1884 an election was held in &C.
piah County, Miss, at which a man
by the name Of "Prent' Mathews was
shot just as he was turning away from
the polling place where he had depos-
tied his ballot. 1t developed in the
investigation made into the affair that
the shooting was deliberately plan
ned murder, that the victim was a Re
publican, that he had been murdered
on account Of his politics and that the
crime was planned at a Democratic
meeting where the man to commit the
deed was chosen BY lot.
In Troy,N. Y,last Tuesday an cleo
ton was held III which one Republican
watcher at the polls was killed and
another seriously wounded. The evil
dence collected since, it is claimed,
shows deliberate plot on the part of
the Democratic thugs and bullies to
commit the murder that occurred.
The locality where the crime was conf
Initted was one Of the worst in Troy,
and the ballot boxes have frequently
been stuffed by Democratic repeaters.
It was to prevent repetition Of these
fraud; that the Republicans took extra
precautions last Tuesday, and 50 ef-
fectual were their measures that the
Democratic thugs could only accom-
plish their purpose through murder.
1t is no accident that these two poll
itical murders were committed by the
same Democratic party in Mississippi
and New York. That party has coun-
tenanced ballot box stuffing and tai
ley sheet forging and has cornplacently
accepted the fruit of these crimes. It
has permitted intimidation and muir
der all through the South until cleo
tons in that section have became a
farce. Naturally the success Of such
methods in the South has encouraged
their introduction in the North.
Gravesend gave an illustration and
Troy another Of how Southern crimes
on the suffrage are being made use Of
in the North to aid the Democratic
party. Is il not time that the respect
able men in that party stop and
consider if they can afford to adj
here any longer to an organization
that is evidently determined to make
Northern elections as much Of farce
as Southern elections are, PhiIzdsl-
