Blanek.

SEATTLE, Oct. 20-Thomss Blsnck was
sentenced to death by Judge Humes to-
day and fully bore out his reputation as a
desperate. He was brought into court
with "twisters" on his wrists, detective
on each side, while Jailer Monroe fol-
lowed closely behind. When Judge
Humes asked Blanck if he had anything
to say why sentence should not be
passed, the prisoner, who was near the
stenographer's desk, arose, tilted up a
chair with one foot, leaned over the back
of it, placed one manacled hand under
bis chin, looked steadily into the eyes of
the judge, and said in a voice full of
venom:
"I'll come back and haunt you. l
won't have one gun then. but two, and
when I tell you to put up your hauds,
I'll plug you pretty quick"
As he referred to ths weapons, he
threw both hands forward, after the
manner of highwayman. The man
seemed like a wild beast at bay. Judge
Humes then pronouced the sentence,
closing with the accustomed formula that
when the day of execution is set war
rant will issue. Blsnck. who still leaned
defiantly over the chair, quickly said:
81 want it pretty damned quick"
He was then token to his cell, and
went quickly.

DEVOID OF INTEREST.

Tariff Conferees Hold Two Brief Sessions
butAccomplish Nothing.
WASHINGTON, Aug: 8.-The tariff
conference was entirely subordinated to
the house caucus and was devoid Of in
teresting features. The conferees held
two brief sessions during the day and
discussed the coal and iron ore ques-
lions, besides reverting to the sugar
schedule. The talk, however, served to
no purpose, except to emphasize the fact
that the disagreement is still unbroken
and that very little, if any, progress is
being made. The purpose Of taking
up the sugar schedule again
cannot be learned. It is also impossi-
BILE to ascertain what reason the house
conferees assigned for declining to &C.
cept the sliding scale on coal and iron
ore proposed by the senate conference.
It would appear from all information
that can be secured, that, without Civ
ing any special reason, they resumed
their argument for free raw material. It
has come to be understood that in these
meetings the house members are doing
the greater part of the talking and that
the senators have come to be very impa-
tient listeners.

corn shooting up at q dizzy gait and

Indians Living on Allotted Land Not
ards Of Uncle Sam.
PORTLAND 'I.l'-' Gre, Aug. S.Judge
Bel [in has signed an important de
|cision IN the cases Of Thomas Hawks
and Edward Kline, charged with sell
ing liquor to Indians. He decided that
the allotment.o of lands IN severalty to
Indians had the effect Of removing
them from under the charge Of Indian
agents and gave them the standing Of
American citizens. As such the United
States laws governing Indian wards Of
the government do not apply to them,
and the selling Of liquor to an Indian
who is not in charge Of an United
States Indian agent is not punishable
under the United States statutes. The
decision has a precedent the opinion Of
Judge Hartford delivered in an Indian
case OF another character in 1892 but
it is the first decision to this effect in a
case directly in point. z

House Caucus Adjourns With

the Conferees.
VICTORY FOR WILSON,.
Two Sessions Of the Confer
ence Held, but Nothing
Accomplished.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Chairman
Wilson and his associate house tariff
conferees scored a victory when the
house Democratic caucus, called with a
view of terminating the tariff struggle
by instructing or advising the house
cunferees, adjourned without taking
ANY action. The effect of this was to
Lave the house conferees to proceed as
they saw best, and to show conspicu.
cusly that the effort to advise them had
failed. The friends of Mr.. Wilson
found that they had Jhe caucus SO well
in hand that they could have passed the
Livingston resolution, expressing conf.
dence, but there was no desire on the
part of the supporters of the conference
to take this course. Speaker Crisp and
Chairman Wilson expressed themselves
as gratifed with this conclusion, and
among the rank and file of the house
The Sentiment Was General
that the movement inaugurated to
bring about an acceptance of the sen.
ate bill had resulted in materially
strengthening the opposition to the
senate bill.
The caucus was called to order by
Chairman Holman, and, after roll call
and other preliminaries were disposed
of Mr.. Bynum offered resolution de.
claring it to be the sense of the caucus
that the Democratic conferees of the
house and senate should meet in a spirit
OF Gberality to the end that the two
houses by mutual concessions may
agree upon a measure which will meet
with the approval of each; that this
caucus stands adjourned until 3 o. M.
Friday, the 10th inst, at which time, in
case no agreement has been reached, it
shall reconvene to take such further &C.
tion in the premises as it may deem
necessary.
Wilson Opposes 1t.
Speeches were made on the resolution
by MIR. Bynum and Chairman Wilson,
the former for and the latter against.
Other members also stated their views
briefly. Inquiries were made regarding
the status Of negotiations upon sugar,
coal and iron, but no definite informal
ton was forthcoming. Speaker Crisp
said that the senate bill was more
highly protective in most Of its schedr
ules than the house bill and that there
were many points Of difference to be
settled and intimated that they were
being settled, but that was as much en-
lightenment as the inquiring Democrats
obtained. Finally Mr.. Bynum with
drew his resolution, explaining that he
was satisfied with the representations
made, and on motion Of Speaker Crisp
the caucus adjourned.
