MR.. TARSNEY AND TAR
Wilson's Friend Determined to
Rescue Him.
The Attorney-General of Colorado
Has to Deal With Pretty
Tough Lot.

KANSAS CITY. Aug. 3.-Adjutant-Gen-
eral Tarsney of Colorado. who has been
here for some days seeking to encompass
the arrest of one of the gang who tarred
and feathered him. came near being the
victim of an assassin's bullet at the Union
depot in this city tonight. 1t was one of
the closing scenes in the dramatic play
growing out of the Colorado tragedy dur
ing the recsnt strike. and his consequent
ferretng out and arrest of j. r. Wilson,
one OF the leaders of the marauders.
Several days ago General Tarsney To-
Gated Wilson near Nevada, Mo-. and by a
neat bit of strategy and with the assist
ance of Detective Peterson of Colorado
succeeded in getting him to Kansas City.
Wilson was positively identified by Tars-
ney as being the ringleader of the mob
that tarred and feathered him. After
some trouble Tarsney secured the proper
requisition papers and the start for Colo
RADIO was arranged for this evening.
G. c. Collins, an ex-deputy under Will
son in Colorado during the strike trouble,
and who is believed to be the man who
carried the feathers on the eventful night,
came to town yesterday, and, as he after
ward told reporter. was bent upon liber-
ating Wilson.
Shortly before the departure Of the
evening Union Pacific train tonight Tars-
ney, Wilson and Peterson were driven
from the Jail to the depot in closed car
riage. Ever since coming to town Tars-
ney has Travelled under an assumed name
and has been In constant fear of violence.
Arriving at the depot this evening Collins
was the first man the party met. He
quickly stepped toward them. With
salutatiOn to Wilson, and at the same time
placing his hand on his hip pocket. Col
lins made an effort to draw Wilson to one
side. Peterson, in an instant, had pushed
the intruder aside, feeling for his weapon.
With a curse Collins drew away, then
turning toward Tarsney made as if to
strike him. The general reached for his
hip pocket. but before either man could
lift hand Peterson had stepped between
them and was starting the trio for their
train.
In the meantime quite crowd had COL
lected and great excitement prevailed.
Hurrying on to their car, Wilson was
quickly strapped 10 seat, while Tarsney
nervously took a seat near by and looked
anxiously for the signal 10 start. 1t soon
came, and the party in time resumed their
natural state.
Collins in the rush had been lost. 1t
was afterward learned that he had secured
a ticket over the Santa Fe road and left
on that train a few minutes later, believ-
ing Tarsney had gone via that road.

PRICE FIVE CENTS

The motion was granted and the examina-
tion proceeded with other witnesses. In
making such motion 1 stated that although
all the witnesses had testified to might be
utre, the prosecution would not on account
of the manner of the witness and his own
testimony that he expected reward for
giving his testimony. base any point in
sheir case upon testimony so clouded.
The story upon its face evidences its alb
surdity, for nothing that Lesher testified
to was material enough to be worth
cents, much less $500. The reputation of
Judge Armstrong is too we'll established

remedies, is a maxim which / believe the
defendants see the necessity Of follow
ing."
Lesher stated In q subsequent interview
that he had been persuaded by Melvin
Hatch to make his confession. Hatch
had promised him protection and friend
ship. and finally he consented to write
about Armstrong if Hatch would touch
the pen while he wrote the stuff. Judge
Armstrong stoutly denies the story and
says he will have Lesher arrested for
perjury. All Woodland is discussing the
incident tonight and Sheriff Wykoff's
course is generally condemned.
General Fart, when seen tonight, said
thai when he called down at the Jail,
Sheriff Wykoff placed his fist on his breast
and told him that he had been making
cracks at the Sheriff's office. He refused
to allow him to go to see Lesher, and then
General Hart requested the Sheriff to take
witness away and let him write what he
had to write in peace. Later on, Colonel
Harlow, Hart's assistant went to the Jail
and both he and Judge Fisher warned the
Sheriff not to let Lesher go. The Sheriff
paid no attention to their protest and al
lowed the witness to go. General Hart,
early in the day. had requested Lesher's
release. General Hart maintains. and so
do all the others. that Lesher swore to all
the confession before Judge Fisher.
Whatever was crossed out by him was
after he had been alone with Sheriff
WykOff.
Lesher at the time of writing this can
not be found.

ONE-FIFTH OF A CENT.
All the Senate Will Allow the
House.
The Best Terms 1t Is Possible to
Obtain on the Sugar
Schedule.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The under
standing among the tariff conferrees when
they adjourned this afternoon was that
the session tomorrow should bring about
either an agreement on the sugar schedule
or u decision to report a disagreement.
To-day was devoted by the conference to
discussion of the sugar question. This
schedule in detail provides for duty of 30
per cent ad valOrem on sugar below I6
Dutch standard and 40 per cens on sugar
above this grade, the duty ON the refined
sugar to be collected on the basis of the
saccharine strength of the raw sugar used
in it. with one-ffth of a cent differentia
on the refined and a discriminating duty
equal to the export duty levied by such
sugar-producing countries as pay q bounty
on sugar production.
This schedule was submitted to the con-
ference as the ultimatum of the conserva-
tive Senators coming through Senator
Smith Of New Jersey, and the House con-
ferrees were given to understand that the
schedule was the nearest approach to the
requirements that the Senate could make
with any assurance that the bill would
pass in the Senate.
Some OF the House conferrees are favor
ably inclined toward the schedule, as they
believe it defines exactly the extra duty to
be paid on refined sugars and is free from
the objection urged against the Senate
schedule, but owing 10 the wording of the
schedule it was impossible to tell beyond
the one-eighth of cent differential what
the duty would be on the refined article.
They are of the opinion that the duty in
The schedule presented to-day will be con-
fined TO the one-ifth of cent differential.
1t is understood. however, that while
inclined to accept these figures as the best
they can get, and while considering that in
this they secure an advantage over the Sen
ate schedule, they indicated desire to
consider the question over night, and that
it was on this account that the decision
which it was hoped would be reached to-
day will be postponed until tomorrow.

found guilty and sentenced to be publicly
reprimanded. After a thorough examina-
tion of the case. which has been before the
department for many weeks, Secretary
Lamont to-day indorsed upon the record Of
the court "Disapproved by the depart
ment."
This finally ends the case, and Lieutenant
Nancy will not be reprimanded nor will
he again be tried. No reason is assigned
for the departments action. and it is left
to surmise whether the sentence was re-
garded as insufficient or, as is more prob
able, whether the view is taken that the
lieutenant's acluittal of the more serious
charge of murder by the civil court should
stop further proceedings growing out of
the same offense. for Secretary Lamont
has uniformly shown himself to be very
jealous of encroachment upon the judicial
bench. Inasmuch as th1eentence was not
one of dismissal it did not come before
the President for his action.

THE BOND ISSUE MATTER.

Iu admitting that Secretary Carlisle has
a right to issue bonds to maintain the
gold reserve, Senator Sherman went no
further than the Populists and Knights
of Labor are willing to go. No special
thanks are due to him for saying what
United States already knew.
When he came to discussing the deficit
In the revenue devoted to the payment OF
current expenses, Mr.. Sherman betrayed
lamentable lack of candor. In sub
stance he charges that the Democrats are
responsible for the deficiency in tie
revenue, though he knows very we'll that
the Mckinley bill is still in operation.
Moreover, the appropriations for the cur
rent fiscal year were made by the Fifty
second congress-, OF which the senate was
Republican, upon estimates submitted
by Republican administration. There
came near being deficiency In the last
fiscal year, Notwithstanding the money
borrowed from the national bank redemp-
ton fund. Nobody knows better than
Senator Sherman that the country has
been advancing steadily toward an in
evitable deficiency ever since the Fifty
first congress increased expenditures and
diverted a-great part OF the revenue from
the treasury to the trusts. Secretary
Foster, a year ago, recognized and adj
mitled the necessity of issuing bonds.
Mr.. Sherman knows moreover that the
bargain which he made with the silver
men to get their support for the MeKin-
ley bill, whereby the silver purchase act
bearing his name was passed. caused the
panic oil last summer and thereby
deprived the country of large part of
its purchasing power. Before the panic
goods were coming in rapidly, and the
import duties saved the treasury from q
deficiency in the fiscal year which ended
June 80. The panic changed all that;
diminished receipts and undiminished
expenditures have caused deficit. For
this Mr.. Sherman's party, and to large
extent Mr.. Sherman himself, are directly
responsible.
