BURNED THE NETS,
Which VIII Result in an Action to
Test the State Fish Law.

Which VIII Result in an Action to
Test the State Fish Law.
st. Paul, Aug. A special meeting
of the state game and fish commission
will be held at the capitol Wednesday
next to discuss among other matters the
situation with regard to the fishermen on
Lake Pepin, whose nets were burned by
Deputy Wardens Gray of Wisconsin and
Sykes of Minnesota, Saturday, July p.
The fishermen had Deputy Warden Gray
arrested for wilful destruction of prop
erty, and would have had Sykes arrested
but he remained on the Minnesota side
Of the river. The fishermen on this side
of the river have decided to bring suit
against the commission for the destruction
of the property and a test case will be
made of it. E. E. Mcdonald has been
retained by the fishermen and William
Bramhall for the fish and game commits
sion. The case will undoubtedly be tried
in st. Paul, but the time will not he
fixed until after the meeting of the COLI
mission. There will be three questions
invol, ed in the suit, the first of which
will be the right of the commission to
prevent fishing in interstate waters, Sec
ond, whether the commission has the
right to prohibit che catching of certain
purely food fish with nets, which practi-
cally prohibits fishing for them at all,
with the possible exception of one or
two months in the year, and the third
question will be as to the right of the
commission to destroy property belonging
to fishermen.

THE JAPS WIN AGAIN
ANOTHER BATTLE WITH CHINESE
FORCES IN COREA.
After Heavy Fighting the Chinese
Are Put Completely to Rout and .
Large Member of Prisoners Are
Captured by the Japanese.

Washington, Aug. 4.-OAicial notifica-
lions Of q battle between the Japanese
and Chinese land forces in Corea was
received at the japanese legation here
to-day from the foreign Office at Toxic.
The telegram containing the news stated
that on the 10Th of July portion of the
Japanese troops at Seoul marched against
much superior force of Chinese en-
trenched at Shan Yeng A battle en-
sued, and after heavy fighting the Chinese
were put completely to rout and a large
number'o of prisoners and munitions of war
were captured by the Japanese. On the
morning of To- Both the japanese proceed
ed to march against Gasan. Shan Yeng
is situated between Seoul and Gasan of
Asan, where the fight between the Jap
anese and Chinese resulting in the loss
of 1900 Japanese is reported to have oc-
CURED.
1t is the opinion of the legation officials
here that the report from Chinese sources
containing rumors of the defeat of the
Japanese at Gasan are probably gross ex-
aggerations, though no dispatches refer
ring to fight at the latter place have
yet been received. A long telegram was
received at the legation confirming the
official account of the sinking of the
British transport Kow Shing, reiterating
the statements made by the Japanese
government, that the first attack was
made by the Chinese cruiser Chin Yuen
by firing torpedo on the Japanese
cruiser Naniwa Kan.

LIEUT.. MAxEY,s cAtI.
Secretary Lamont Disappears tke
F1hding Of the Court Martial.

eecFe4Ary Lamont Disappears the
Fhding Of the Court Martial.
Washington, Aug. 4. = Secretary La.
mont to-day finally disposed of tn. case
lof First Lieutenant James Nancy, who
vsS tried by court martial rs the result
of killing Capt. Hedbcrg at Fort Sheri-
dan near Chicago. The lieutenant had
bfan previously tried and acquitted by
the civil courts on charge of murder.
The charge proved before the court mar
tiM was conduct unbecoming an ''tfi yer in
assaultinb his superior officer. Of this
charge he was found guilty and SEN
:SSehced to be publicly 1eprimanded. After
Ss:norough examination Of the case vhicn
has been before the department for many
weeks, Secretary Lamont Endorsed Upon
the record of the court: "Disapproved
by the department." This finally ends
the case and Lieut.. Nancy will not be
rcpri:randcd nor will he be again tried.
No reason is assigned for the depart
ment's action and it is left to surmise
whether the sentence was regarded insult
kcicnt, or, as is more probable, whether
the view is taken that the lieutenant's
acquittal Of the more serious charge of
murder by the civil tribunals should stop
further proceedings growing out of the
same offenSe, for Secretary Lamont has
uniformly shown himself to be very
jealous of encrouchments upon the jul
dicial bench. Inasmuch as the sentence
was not one of dismissal it did not come
before the president for his action.

SANTOS SENTENCE.
The Assnssih of President Cannot to
Be Executed by the GuillOtine

The Assassia of President Ca.not to
Be Executed by the Guillotine.
Lyons, Aug AT the conclusion of
the trial of Caesario Santo, the murderer
of President Carnot, in the assize court
here to-day, the prisoner was sentenced
the be executed BY the guillotine.
During the absence of the jury the
prisoner was removed to his cell beneath
the court house, and the judge retired
with his associates to await the return of
the men who were to pronounce upon
the prisoners guilt. When, after an al
sence Of less than thirty minutes, the
jury re-entercd the Judge resumed his
place, and for moment dead silence
reisned throughout the court.
Cesario was brought in and faced the
court for the last time. Judge Breullac
turned to the prisoner for moment anG
then, addressing. the jury, asked the lat
ter the formal question:
'Is Cesaro Santo Geronimo guilty or
not guilty of the crime of assassinating
the presidest of the republic?"
There was some confusion as the in
terpreter translated to the prisoner what
was said, but audible over the inter-
prefers voice was the reply of the fore
man of the jury:
Guilty, with extenuating circum-
stances"
There was deep silence as the verdict
was translated to Cesario, who received
it with a smile of cynical contempt.
The presiding judge, as soon as the
prisoner was acquainted with the jury's
finding, arose, speaking directly to he
assassin, said:
''The court condemns Cesario Santo
Geronimo to death. You have three days
in which to appeal to The court of cessa-
ton" TO this Cesario returned a. scorn-
full shout of ''Vive la revolution social"

BLOODY BATTLE.
Fight Between Railroaders an
COmmOnWealers.

Fight Between Railroaders and
COnlmonwealers.
Connellsville, Pa, Aug. 4.-Jeffries'
commonwealers, numbering about 200,
arrived here last evening and at once
scattered through the town demanding
food. When Baltimore &; Ohio freight
train No. Is pulled out for the East the
whole crowd made a rush to capture
transportation. About all succeeded in
getting aboard, but when about mile
out in the yard the train was stopped and
the swarm of boarders driven off. They
got together on the ground, and with
rush en- masse swept down the opposition
and crowded into box cars. Then the
trainmen, reinforced by yardmen, made
a combined charge and a regular battle
ensued. The atta11eSg party were met
by storm of stones, clubs, links, pins
and scrap. Yardman George Workman
and Cashier Thomas were badly injured.
Many of the commonwealers went down
under the blows from the miscellaneous
weapons of lc railroaders. Some of the
army escaped, but about 100 were beaten
back into the cars and locked in. The
train was run back to town and the pris-
oners jailed. One of the commonwealers
who was badly injured was taken to the
hospital and has rGt regained conscious
ness.

The Courts Decide Sawdust Must
Not BE Dumped.
st. Paul, Aug. Mill owners who
permit sawdust and other refuse from
their mills to enter navigable stream
are guilty of violation of the United
States statute of 1890 relative to the
dumping in navigablc waters Or OF the
banks of navigable streams any mill re-
fuse. This is true whether the stream is
or is rot navigab!e at the locality where
the refuse is dumped, if it is navigable
lawer down. Judge Williams passed
upon the point yesterday in tho United
States district court after an elaborate
argument in the case of the United
States against George S. Shaw, presi-
dent and general manager of the Clo-
quet Lumber company. The point is Of
interest to all mill owners having saw
mills on or near the banks of any navi-
gable river or on stream where the
refuse might be carried into harbor.
Greater interest attaches to the point be-
cause it is the first time it has been
passed upon in any court in this district.
The crime is a misdemeanor and is pun
ishable by fine or imprisonment. The
government rested its case yesterday, and
the defense will introduce testimony to-
day

AGREE OR DISAGREE
TARIFF CONFEREEs HAVE AR
RIVED AT THE CROSSROADS.
It VIII Soon BE Known Whether
They Can Agree or Will Report .
DisaErement-A New Proposition
Regarding Sugar.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The understand
ing among the tariff conferees when they
adjourned late yesterday afternoon was
that tie session to-day should bring
shout either an agreement on the sugar
schedule o. decicion to report a disa-
grcement. Yesterday was devoted by the
conference to a discussion of the sugar
question. This schedule in detail provides
for a duty of 40 per cent ad valorem on
sugar below lG Dutch standard and 40
per cent OH sugar above this grade, the
duty on the refined sugar to be collected
on the basis Of the saccarine strength of
the raw sugar used in it with Is of a
cent diferential on the refined and dis
eliminating duty equal to the export duty
levied by such sugar producing countries
as pay bounty on sugar production.
This schedule was submitted to the
conference as the ultimatum of the con-
sentative senators coming through Sell
ator Smith Of New Jersey, and the house
cerfcrces We've given to understand that
the schedule was the nearest approach
to the requirements that the senate could
make with any assurance that the bill
would pass in thu senate.
Some Of the house conferees were ia
vorably inclined toward the schedule be-
cause they believe that it defines exactly
the extra duty to be paid on refined
sugars And is free from the objection
urged against the senate schedule, that
owing to the wording of the schedule it
was impossible to tell beyond the eighth
of u cent diiferential what the duty would
be on the refined article. They are of the
opinion that the duty in the schedule
presented yesterday will be confined to
one-6fth of a cent differential 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that while inclined
to accept these figures as the best they
can get, and while considering that in
this they secure an advantage over the
senate schedule they indicated desire
to consider the question over night, and
that it was on this account that the de-
cision was postponed until to-day.
A. report received from an inside source
is to the effect that some Of the house
conferees found this schedule objection
able from several points of view, and
when the time for adjournment was
reached had not only failed to Indicate a
willingness to accept the schedule, but
had said that so far as they have been
able 10 master its details they considered
it unacceptable. 1t was this expression
of opinion on their part which left the
situation in such doubt when the confer
ence adjourned and rendered it possible
that instead of an agreement being
reached the result might be disagree
ment. The pressure for bill is so strong
in the party, however, that the probable
tiles arc all still favorable to an agree
mcnt on some line.
The conferees are still in session this
afternoon, but it is possible that some
action may be taken before adjournment
this evening.

Passed by the Senate.
Washington, Aug. 4.-The last Of the
appropriation bills-the defciency-was
passed by the senate after it had been
under discussion nearly the entire day.
The bills for the admission of New Mex
leo and Arizona to statehood were re-
ported to the senate end placed ON the
calendar. Mr.. Davis of Minnesota intro
duced bill defining operations in futures,
imposing taxes on dealers therein, ETC.,
which was about to be referred to the
committee on agriculture when Mr.. Har-
ris objected on the ground that as it was
intended to raise revenue it should be
considered by the committee on finance.
He protested against the bill as 'prosti-
tuting the taxing power to wholly unau-
thorized purpose" Mr.. George made the
point of order that all bills raising reve-
nue. should be proposed in the house of
representatives The vice president re-
served his ruling on the point of order.
The house spent a large portion of the
day discussing two bills, one for reclassi-
fication of railway mail clerks and one
classification of clicks in the first and
second class postothce, but neither was
acted upon. A resolution on the subject
of lynchlngs, which created something of
u sensation in view of the agitation of the
lynching question by Ira Il. Wells, was
offered in the house to-day by Mr.. Blair
Of New Hampshire % follows:
That the commissioner of labor be in.
strnctcd to investigate and report the

ceetling the passage of this joint resol,l-

any part of the country within the ten
years last preceding the passage of this
resolution. Such investigation shall be
made by the usual methods and agencies
of the department of labor and report
made to congress as soon as the work
can be satisfactorily made; and the sum

be necessary, is hereby appropriated to
