would Have His Joke.

Captain Napoleon Bonaparte Hum
phrey, whofis well known all over the
state, is great jester. 1t has been
said of him that he would crack joke
while attending his own funeral. Last
July he met, with railroad accident,
which rendered the amputation of one
of his feet necessary. Subsequently he
became violently insane apd was sent to
the asylum. However, he recovered in
a few months and returned to his home
at Pendleton. A Pendleton paper con-
tains the following paragraph regarding
the old joker:
Captain N. B. Humphrey celebrated
his SD birthday day or two since and
says: Il am an athletic, ll-preserved
young man today, although have one
foot in the grave The captains friends,
legion in number, will hope that he may
enjoy yet many birthdays. Telegram.

Peru Forcing children to Join the
Army.
LIMA, PERU, Jan. 4.-The government
authorities here are going to great
lengths in lheir efforts to levy soldiers
to serve in the regular army. Even boys
II years old have been seized in the
streets by the recruiting details and
dragged to the barracks, where they are
forced to enter the ranks. Those classes
of citizens who had been exempt from
forced enlistment do not escape at this
time, but even fremen and national
guardsmen are made to join the regular
forces. 1t was impossible to bury some
corpses which had been taken to the
cemeteries for interment Tuesday, as the
gravediggers employed at these places
had been forcibly taken away from their
work, and without a moments warning
hustled off to become soldiers.

SANGER, CAL, Jan. A. The latest
news from the mountains is that Evans
and Morell have been located at Demas-
ter's logging camp, on Dinkey creek,
near Pine Flat. Officers are to sur
round the cabin this evening, and it is
expected that tomorrow Evans will be
brought from the hills either dead or
alive. Persons who arrived from the
hills this morning are confident of the
capture of the outlaws, and are freely
offering bets that Evans will be brought
in with forty-eight hours. Bennett and
Eager, fumetenders at Pine Flat, quit
work today, giving as reason that
Evans had warned them not to give any
information concerning him, and, as all
the officers are making their headquar-

MURDER OR SUICIDE?
A MAN AND HIS WIFE FOUND
DEAD.



MIDDLETON, N. Y. Oct. ga mys-
FERROUS murder and suicide or double
murder occurred in this city yester-
day morning. John Tierney was
found with bullet hole in his right
temple. His wife was lying near him
with bullet hole in her left breast
while a pistol lay a few feet away.
The affair occurred in cafe owned
and conducted by Mrs. Tierney. An
aged uncle, Robert Flynn, awoke at
$3.50 yesterday morning and went
down stairs to build a fire. While
thus engaged he heard the report of a
pistol and moment later it was fol-
lowed by another report. lie sent
young man who had just come in the
back door of the cafe to ascertain the
cause of the noise. The young man
returned, reported nothing. Shortly

court for the district of Columbia.
heard arguments to-day in the appli-
cation of the Miles sugar manufacture
ing company for writ of mandamus
to compel thesecretary of the treasury
to appoint ofliciols provided for in the
Mckinley act for the payment of sugar
bounty. General j l.. Brent of Mary
land appeared for the sugar planters
and H. b. Whitney, assistant attorney
general, for the treasurer. 1t is eX-
pected an opinion will be rendered in
few days General Bright maintains
that the title and right to bounty is
based on the inspection by the officers
of the internal revenue bureau and
the bounty was payable for five years
from July |, 1891, by law. The com
pany had been duly licensed and had
given bond of 1921 900 and was en-
titled during the period referred to to
protection of its interests and rights.
Counsel did not claim that the law
allowing the bounty could not be re-
pealed, but they asserted that it had
not been repealed. Independent of
the payment of the bounty the COM
pany had the right to show that it had
earned it. That could only be done
through an inspection of its work, and
when the government licensed the
company it agreed to give it certiii-
cate of the commissioner of internal
revenue that the company was entitled
to the bounty. The company did not
ask the court to compel the secretary
of the treasury to pay the bounty, but
merely to compel an inspection. The
company was licensed when the Nc
Kinley act was in force and the act
made permanent and continuous APP
preparation to pay the bounty and just
claim on tine government. Assistant
attorney Whitney, arguing in behalf
of the. secretary, said the court had no
right to mandamus the secretary, as
the action asked was purely discre-
tionary. In but three cases had writs
of mandamus been issued from the
courts and these were cases where the
duties to be performed were ministc-
rial and not discretionary. The con-
tention of the Miles company was not
that the secretary should pay the
bounty, but that the inspection should
be made. This, he asserted, was in
order that the company could have
ground on which to go before congress
and ask an appropriation for this year,
and the courts conld not be invoked
for this purpose.

involved in the possible breaking up
OF the Chinise empire and it is be-
lieved that Russia has signiiied that
she can not longer regard the progress

informed that Russia and Great
Britain have definitely decided that a
settlement Of the war must be an in
ternational and not japanese affair
Germany and France are said to have
acquiesed to this decision, while the
policy of the United States is regard
ed as uncertain. Russia, according to
the Manchester Guardian, has already
warned Japan that the future of Corea
concerns the Russian government.
Japan, in her present mood, will pay
no heed to any representation made

MED by tangible evidence of intention

WAsurNGroN, Oct 2.-General
Wade Hampton, Commissioner of
railways, was at his desk yesterday
or the first time in several weeks,
having just returned from an extend
ed trip over the government aided
roads, which come under his super
vision. General Hampton travelled
about 1000 miles on these lines. going
west over the Union Pacific and Cen
tral Pacific and returning over the
Northern Pacific, inspecting several
branches by the way. He reports the
roads in good condition and doing a
fair business, considering the business
situation. General Hampton willnow
prepare Il report which will be sub
mitted to the secretary Of the interior
before November l. The commits
sioner SAYS ne encounted in California
great deal of clamor for government
control of not only the Union and
Central Pacific roads, but of all roads.
Both of these propositions are opposed
by the commissioner. ain the first
place. he said. "the bonds on these
roads are not due until 1897, and the
government cannot foreclose until
that time. Then it becomes quos-
ton of expediency If the govern
ment should foreclose, it having only
the second mortgage, would be conf
PEELED to pay the first mortgage,
amounting to many millions. Even
then tho government would find it
self in possession Of roads without
terminals. A government such as
ours cannot operate railways. In au-
tocratic governments it is possible.
but not in this. The demand for
foreclosure does not come from the
best informed people of the Pacific
slope, although it has got to be a very
popular movement in the west"
