IN A MOUNTAIN HUT.
Bandits Evans and Morrell Discovered
by Officers. but Not Captured.

FRESNO, Cal, Feb. 9.-News comes from
the mountains in Tulare county of another
encounter between Sheriff ScOtt's men and
the bandits, Chris Evans and Ed Morrell.
Tuesday evening the sheriff's mem discov-
cred hidden trail on the mountain side
leading into an almost impenetrable thick
ct. They could only follow the trail on
their hands and knees. After crawling
some distance they came suddenly upon
hut hidden beneath the overhanging cliff.
There they saw Evans and Morrell, both
in their shirt sleeves SO surprised were
the bandits that they did not stop to fight.
Both grabbed their Winchesters and sour
ried up the mountain side. The sheriffs
men fired half a dozen shots, but without
effect. The hut was then searched. In it
was found clothing in plenty, a large guam
tity OF provisions and over five hundred
rounds of ammunition
1t was evident that all the outlaws wants
have been supplied by sympathizers in the
neighboring valley. The bandits escaped in
their shirt sleeves with only their rifles
and the ammunition in their belts. The
weather is cold in the mountains. and as
the sherifGS men are in hot pursuit it is
believed that a decisive encounter will take
place very soon The place where the ban
dts were found is about half way between
Camp Badger and the Sequoia mills.

Horrible Cruelty on the Island OF sa-
rbaIien-Cases of CannibaIism.

gbaIien-Cases of Cannibalism.
LONDON, Feb 1O-A dispatch 10 the
Standard from st. Petersburg says: The
government commission appointed to in
vestigate the alleged scandals in the con-
vict prison at Onor, on the island OF Sa-
ghalien, has issued a report which unfoids
a terrible tale of suffering and crime. 1t
shows that in the prison there have been
instances without number of merciless
cases of beatings, looping off Of fingers
and arms by sabre strokes. while cannibal-
ism, under stress of famine, has been OF
common occurrence. Murder, followed by
cannbalism, has been frequent, with the
sole object of ending miserable existence
It is related that there have even been
cases where several convicts have dis
puted to be convicted of murder, when, in
fact, they were not guilty of any such
crime.
During the whole of the year 1892 there
was an almost continuous string of convicts
carrying the corpses of convicts from
Onor to Rikovskay the residence of the
authorities. In nearly every case the bodies
were so mutilated that they presented a
pitiful spectacle, and moved the persons who
looked upon them to tears and words Of
Indignation. The bodies were inferred with
out the slightest inquiry on the part OF the
authorities as to how the wounds were in
flicted. The neglect of the prisoners at Onor
is said to have been most shameful and
criminal. No doctor ever visited the insti-
tuition, and convicts who failed to perform
their work on account of sickness were
placed on half diet in place called a. hos
pital, and when it became apparent they
would be unable to perform further duty
they were dispatched like animals by re-
volver by the inspector, and were regis
tered on prison books as having died from
disease. The principal author of the
atrocities, it is asserted, is a former con-
vict of the name Of Shakoff, who was a
favorite Of the district commandant and
was promoted TO be inspector.

THE DEFENSE RESTS.
Thomas COughlin Concludes the Testi-
. mOny in Behalf of His Brother.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-After the hearing of
some unimportant testimony in the Cough
lin case to-day Thomas Coughlin, brother
OF the defendant, was called to the stand
Judge Wing began a line of questioning to
show that witness had sent a man named
Smith TO the eX-detective and that it was
for this man that Coughlin hired Dinan' s
white horse on the night of May T. As
sistant States Attorney EottuIn objected,
and the jury was taken from the room
while the attorneys argued the point. After
long and heated argument Judge Tuthlll
ruled the evidence was admissible.
When the jury returned to the court
room lawyer Whitney was called to the
stand, and Judge Wing read a letter from
him in which he said that Mrs HoerteI
an important witness. was the most in
famous liar in the city" On cross-exaul-
nation it was shown that Mr.. Whitney and
Mrs. Hoertel had been involved i'm a law
suit over the payment of small amount
Of money.
Thomas Coughlin then returned to the
stand. He told of giving a man a note
OF introduction TO Daniel Coughlin in April.
1889. the man had rented a horse for the
witness, who is n livery man i'm HancOS.
Mich, and hearing that the latter had a,
brother in Chicago secured a note of in

scrfbed the man as clean shaven. cross
eyed and weighing about $50 pounds. This
DESCRIPTION bt tho tailed with that given
ination Mr. Coughlin said he is
a member of the Clan-na-Gael, but denied
any acquaintance with Martin Burke
At the conclusion of the witnesses testi-

ocratic Congress. The question ought TO
be settled in business manner, Inere Was
a safe and easy way out OF the difficulty
There was at present a deficiency in the
revenues and an increase Of expenditures.
There were three means OF relieving the
treasury, any OF which would suffice. The
first was TO reduce salaries % per cent,
including members of Congress. The sec
ond method proposed by Mr.. Harter was
duty on sugar, which would provide $685.
100000, a further increase OF the whisky tax
TO to So gallon, which would furnish So -
and duty on teas and coffee. a tax OF
one-tenth of a cent per cup on tea and
coffee, he said, would yield a revenue of
1900, 600. The third method he proposed
was by the negotiation of a short time
loan. In speaking of the coinage of silver,
Mr.. Harter called attention TO the fact
that in twenty-four years the value Of the
silver in the treasury had fallen st0oO,000.

Mr.. Harter created some amusement by

Democratic party was delineated in the
comic papers as q jackass. He thought ii

PLOTTERs PUNISHED.
COnspiratOrs Against President Peix-
OtO Promptly Shot.

OtO promptly shot.
BUENOS AYRES, Feb. 9.-Most sensa-
tional news has been received here from
Rio De Janeiro. 1t is said that the deci-
sion Of President Peixoto to issue a decree
calling for a presidential election, as well
as for an election for members Of Con-
gress on March 1, was only reached after
the President had been badly frightened by
the discovery of plot to murder him.
When the conspiracy was discovered the
police were instructed to arrest the ring
leaders, which was promptly done Their
trial is said to have followed closely upon
their arrest and there being, in the opin-
ion of the court-martial, no doubt that
they were guilty, they were sentenced to
death. The next morning, according to
the dispatches, the persons convicted OF
having plotted to take the life of Presi-
dent PeiXoto were taken to an unfrequent-
ed spot outside the line of fortifications and
were shot while kneeling at the foot of
the freshly dug graves, which were pre-
pared to receive their bodies. After the
fatal Volley the bodies of the conspirators
were hastily placed in the graves by the
soldiers, the earth shoveled upon them and
about the affair under threat Of being shot
II they did so.
The discovery of the plot against Presi-
dent PeiXoto's life the arrest of the con-
spirators, the court-martial and secret exc
cution all seem to have been kept from
the ear of the general public, but their ef-
feet upon President PeiXoto is said TO have
been SO great that he signed the decree
calling for the election of March 1. In
addition to the conspirators executed, the
dispatches also say that a number of other
implicated persons were sentenced 20 long
terms of Imprisonment, and those who had
property were notified that it had been con
fiscated for the use of the government.
Others, STILL of the suspects sought refuge
in flight and are now on their way to
England and the United States.
