LYONS, Aug. AT the conclusion
of the trial today C@sarlo Santo, Pre-
sident Carnot's assassin, was sentenced
to death by the guillotine.
There were few people around the

and took his seat with hooking smile
on his face.
Santo Chosen by Lot.
Leblanc, fellow prisoner with
Csesarlo at Marseilles, testified that
Cesario told him he intended to kill
President Carnot, probably at Lyons,
when he visited that city.
"That ia lie," interrupted Cesario
eXcitedly. 81 never told you or any
one else anything about my plans"
Leblanc continued, "Casario confessed
that he was designated by lot"
THAT is.untrue," shrleked. Casario.
How untrue?" asked Leblanc, turn
ing to the prisoner. 81 said to you
after you made that remark, but who
would be so bold as TO kill President
Carnot. l saw him in Paris surrounded
by troops and police You answered
that he had been chosen by lot.r
There was great excitement in the
court while the prisoner and Leblanc
were speaking to each other. Later
Leblanc said: "Cesarlo told me that
he had often seen King Humbert in
the streets, but he added that to kill
nm 1t would be necessary to have q
rifle and shoot him from the street, as
he would be surrounded by soldiers.n
THAT is lie" shouted the prisoner,
II was never chosen 10 kill President
Carnot, moreover, absolute liberty oil
action prevails among the anarchists"
Inc prosecuting attorney reviewed
the details of the trial and demanded
that the jury should not hesitate to do
Its duty. Nj. Dubreuille for the defense
made an appeal for the prisoner.
Sentenced to Death.
At noon the jury retired and after an
absence of Is minutes announced a
verdict of guilty without extenuatIng
circumstances. The presiding Judge.
Nj. Breulllac, pronounced the sentence
of death by gullotine.
Csesario exclaimed: "Vive la reyolu-
ton sociale." The prisoner was i'm
mediately hurried toward the cell. AS
he left the court room he cried: "Cour.
age comrades, vive la anarchy.u The
prisoners habitually defiant attitude
disappeared when sentence was pro-
nounced.
NJ. Dubreuille gave notice of appeal
and it was asked that the presiding

CoNNELLsvILLE, Penn, Aug A
bloody affair occurred at Lesenring
this evening, which shows that the
violent spirit of the striking Slavs is
not subdued. While Samuel Matthews,
who recently deserted the strikers, was
returning home from work, a nun Der
of Slavs, who we're passing by, at
tackled him. The fugitive struggled
desperately to protect himsel. A big
Slav struck at his neck with n knife.
Matthews threw out his arm and
the blade was buried in 1t above the ell
bow. He lodged another blow with a
knife, the weapon penetrating his
shoulder. There was storm OF blows
and every hand striking him held a
knife. Two cowardly Slavs struck him
from behind, stabbing him In the head.
He was down under foot, being kicked
and trampled upon. The crowd that
had been drawn up by the attack
charged on the Slavs ana rescued the
terribly wounded man. Matthews

CHICAGO. Ang. 3.-The plan which
was evolved from the strike to organize
all the western roads In one association
was given an impetus today by II prop
ositlon from the Southern Pacific TO
revive the Old Transcontinental Pas
senger Association. Tho Union Pa
cltic, which three months ago was ac-
cused of demoraliziDg the Pacific coast
passenger trade, ia again charged with
the same thing. Rates from San Fran
cisco, San Diego and Los Angeles to
Chicago and New York are being
freely cut, and no information received
here has shown that any of the other
lines have made any reductions. Com
petltors Of the Union Pacific have
taken no steps TO meet the reductions,
which are about $3.50 TO New York
and $3.50 to Chicago, but will probably
do so in short time. There is only n
small passenger business coming out OF
California now aud the lines can have
u lively little row and reduce rates
without hurting anybody.

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 4.-The first

arbitration to settle the Bering seq con-

Astoria by the arrival there last Thurs

were caught during the closed season

visions of the tribunals findings and

same. The captain claims that the
seal skins were caught in part, prior to
May l, 1894, and part since that date.

the status of the case, under the pro-
visions OF the proclamation of Presi-
dent Cleveland and the prohibitions
contained in it, has asked for instruc-

Up to Darkness the Chances for Dis
agreement Were Large.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The tariff
con ferrees began work today with the
sugar schedule. 1t is claimed that the
senate conferrees pointed out that with
the new schedule the bill would not re-
ceive the votes of Senators Gallery and
Blanchard OF Louisiana because no
bounty for this year is provided, or
Allen and Kyle (populists) and these
four votes, with that of Senator Hill,
would defeat the bill. House mem bers
say the Louisiana men can not afford
to vote against bill so favorable to
sugar interests. simply because no pro-
vision for bounty on this years crop
is included, as congress certainly would
pass free sugar bill before its adjourn
ment.
There was a hurried conference to-
day between Senators German, Smith
aud Jones. Previous to this the Louis
lana senators made a vigorous protest
against the proposed sugar schedule.

senators was over 1t was stated by one

day, and the main fight between the
conferrees would be on coal and iron
ore.

house conferrees announced that no

main items, sugar, iron and coal.
Some of the conferrees said 1t might

SUGAR COMPROMISE
Democrats All But Agree on That
Tariff Schedule.
SUDDEN CHANGE OF OPINION
Passage of Thirty-Seven Private Pension
Bills In the Senate-Provions of the
Amended Bank Tax Bill,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-When the
dem ocratic tariff conferrees adjourned
tonight after an all day session 1t
looked as if they were nearer to an
agreement than at any time thus lar.
And yet the agreement Itself, which Is
the great end in view, had not been at
tanned. The hopes of the copferrees
last night that definite results would
be reached and made public today
failed to DO realized. An agreement on
sugar had not been reached beyond
the possibility of recall, nor had
agreements been reached on iron ore or
coal.
The day closed, however, much bet
ter than it opened. 1t had brought out
that the new sugar schedule submitted
as an ultimatum by conservative sena-
tors would be accepted by the house
committee, and that there was little
else than formal and final announce
ment Of this acceptance to mako the
agreement on sugar complete. So fully
satisfied were the house conferrees that
this schedule would prevail that they
urged its advantages on their colleagues
on the house side and pointed out that
in their opinion it would reduce the
benefits to the trust by go per cent
over the original senate schedule. In
view of the fact that the proposition
came from the senators, this willing
ness of the house men to point out its
a nj In thf
common ground they were occupying
Equivalent to an Agreement.
Indeed, one of the conferrees spoke
of the results of the days work a.
equivalent 10 an agreement on the
sugar schedule, but said il was no
such binding agreement us to cut of
the possibility Of disagreelng to it or
Monday. Thus it stands, with The
conferrees on the point of agreeing anc
yet not actually at that point. AS tc
when the quasi agreement will become
an absolute finality, the conferrees haC
no definite idea when they separated
tonight. AS Secretary Carlisle wa
with them part of the day it is con
cluded that the schedule is also salts
factory to the administration.
LouisIanIans Oppose 1t.
The new development of the day wa
the disclosure early in the mornin,
that the two Lo uisiana senators coult
not be depended upon to support tn
new sugar schedule. Their opposition
was based on the ground that it faile,
to take into consideration the req uire
ments of the Louisiana sugar planter
for bounty on their present crop II
least. This caused some uneasiness a
the outset and it was felt that the ney
schedule upon which hung tn
chance of full agreement, migh
be wrecked by the opposi
ton of the Louisiana senators
and several populists. This feelin
wore off later in the day, however
either through indifference or conces
sion to this opposing element, and
was not regarded at the close of til
conference as a serious menace to tn
success of the conferrees' efforts. Afte
the conferrees had reached their Writ
al agreement on the sugar schedule
they put this to one side and took u
the question of iron ore and coal, bu
adjourned without approaching an
conclusion with respect to these tw
products.
