EVANS AND MoRELL.
They Have Again Played Hide and
Seek With Oncers.

FRESNO, CAL, Feb. 12.-Deputy Sher-
ifs P. F. Peck and Hi Rappe returned to
Fresno yesterday from their pursuit OF
Evans and Morell. 1t is said that all
trace of the bandits has been lost. The
last trace of the outlaws was on top of a
mountain beyond Eshon valley the after
noon of last Wednesday,. They were
then heading in the direction of the
higher mountains beyond, and snow had
fallen till all their tracks were covered.
The officers since that time have been
securing the mountains and canyons on
all sides, from the edge of the plains
back to the deep snow. None of the
settlers will admit that they have seen
or heard OF the bandits, and the belief is
that they have made their way as
rapidly as possible to some other camp
which has never been discovered. and is
lying there in hiding, waiting for the
snow to gov off the ground or for the
officers to leave the mountains.

Harrison as a Candidate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The speech of
Representative johnson, of Indiana, on
the Hawaiian question, in which he
justified the course of President Harri-
sons policy toward Hawaii, has led to
report that johnson voiced the views
of Harrison, but the Indiana congress-
man disavows any such inspiration, and
his friends save learned he is not
among those who speak tor Harrison
or consider it settled that the president
should again be candidate for the presi-
dency. "It is too early said johnson,
'sto determine on presidential candi-
date. 1 have always been an earnest
supporter of Harrison. He is an able
man, and gave the country an excellent
administration, but there are other able
men in the party whose availability will
be considered. The presidential candi-
date must be able to draw toward him
the people and leaders of the party.
There is a question as to Harrison's S
ability to do this, for, however capable
he is, he lacks that peculiarity which
attach men to him and solidify all ele-
ments. It is rather early, therefore, to
name Harrison as the Indiana candidate
for the nomination.

Preparing the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The senate
committee engaged on the Wilson tariff
bill was again at work this morning.
They made considerable progress, but
have not succeeded in putting it in
shape to permit its being reported, to the
senate as soon as hoped. One member
said: "We may conclude our work
within three or four days and we NAV
be engaged upon the bill two weeks
yet. We are getting on very well. We
mean to have the bill in as good shape
as possible when we do report it,
therefore we do not intend to rush it
too much" A report was circulated
that refined sugar might be discrimin-
ated to the extent of placing lower tax
upon it than raw. A member of the
subcommittee is authority for the state
ment there is nothing in the story. If
the raw article is taken from the free
list and duty fixed upon it, said a
senator, there will be an increrse of duty
on refined sugar, and it will probably
be from = to d of cent per pound
higher than the raw sugar duty.

sugar Beet Experiments.

ELLENsBURGH, Feb. 12.-Professor
Fielmer, of the state agricultural college.
addressed large meeting here today on
the subject of the sugar beet. The
audience was composed largely of farm
ers. Much interest was shown.
Enough land has been signed up here to
keep gold factory going, but the re-
moval of the bounty by the Wilson bill
has had the effect-of soaring capitalists,
so they will not entertain any kind of a
proposition till the uncertainty is over.
Nearly every man present today, how
ever, filed an application for beet seed,
and experimental work will be carried
on this year to an extent that will de-
termine to a certainty the adaptability
of this entire valley to beet culture.

B1and,s New scheme.

WASHINGTON, Feb. pa new turn
was given to the silver discussion in the
house by Bland's announcement that he
would move at later day to amend the
pending bill so that silver certificates
would be issued only as fast as silver
dollars were coined, with the added au-
thority to the secretary of the treasury
to issue certificates in advance of the
coinage if he SO desired. This charge is
designed to overcome one of the main
objections of Carlisle to the bill. This
objection is shared by many of the mem
bers to such an extent that the passage
ofSthe seigniorage bill is in doubt. The
change now proposed by Bland obviates
the objections so that the passage of the
seigniorage bill is regarded as certain.

Croker as a Protectionist.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. Feb. 12.-Rich-
ard Croker. in an interview, says he
thinks it unfortunate that democratic
congressman are not allowed to vote for
protection when necessary to the inter-
ests of their districts. He fears free
sugar will lose Louisiana to the demo-
Gratis, and also fears the effect of the in
come tax on the democracy in New York.
Free wool, he thinks, will cause serious
damage. He believes in moderate pro-
lection for American industries. Croker
says congress should either pass or de-
feat the tariff bill at once, as something
must be done to relieve the business un-
certainty.

THE Lost "BRorHEn JoNArHAN.n
"reminiscences of the Terrible Catas-
trophe That .Befen Her.
Telegram


The claim of John F. Ryan, sub
marine diver, that he has been down to
the wrecked steamer Brother Jonathan,
and walked across her deck, revives the
story of the terrible catastrophe which
befell her.
1t was on July 80, 1865, that the
Brother Jonathan was lost by striking
on sunken rock about 10 miles north
west of Crescent City, Cal. Two days
before she had left San Francisco for
Portland, and had on board when lost
about 140 passengers and about so other
persons, being her officers and crew, be-
sides nearly $1,0O0,O0o of treasures.
But nineteen on board were saved, IL
being members of the crew. Among
those drowned were Colonel Logan,
father of DIR. Logan of The Dalles.
There have been repeated efforts made
to recover this treasure, which have been
unsuccessful. Mr.. Ryan, however, ex-
presses confidence in his ability to do so,
and says he will make an effort in the
spring. He says the Brother Jonathan
is apparently in good condition, and he
hopes to be able to raise her.

free wool clause of the tariff, was pre-
sented by Cullom. Among the petitions
are the Navajo tribes of Indians, who
own 100000 sheep.
Petitions against free iron ore and
free lumber were presented by Senator
Faulkner, and similar petitions protest
ing AGAINST the Wilson bill as whole
were presented by Cockrell and Gall
linger.
Gray, democrat, then addressed the
senate on the Hawaiian question. He
said: "The evidence all, goes to show
that the annexation movement was con-
iued to that comparatively small junta
of able, intelligent and virtuous men,
who with the aid of the American min
lister accomplished, as far as they could,
the object which they had in view.

when the window was closed behind it.,
leaving it in it's perilous position. Its
cries brought to the neighborhood all

cries with hers. When she was finally
rescued her claws were found deeply
buried in the old and half-rotten wood.
