treasurer of the defunct Oregon q
Transcontinental, again took the stand
producing a memorandum stating the
names of subscribers to nine millions
of bonds, the amounts OF money pdlu
by each and the amount OF ponas re-
ceiyed by each. This statement ap-
pears to show that all the SUBSCRIBERS

Spokane Wash. May 12-For a
while today a thousand people held
their breaths, expecting conflict be-
tween a crowd of industrials and a
force of deputy marshals.
About 4 o'clock the Northern Pacific
passenger train brought Marshal Sam
vinton and twenty of his deputies from
the west.
A crowd of 300 had gathered at the
depot and when the deputies were in
double file cat calls came from the
crowd. A bus driver named Buttrck
was particularly noisy and abusive, and
Vintou placed him under arrest. The
crowd demanded his release, but the
deputies marched up the street with
out f1inching.
The crowd jostled the deputies,
cursed and vowed vengeance. Marshal
Vinton finally gave orders to his men
to load.
Twenty cartridges clicked into their
Winchesters and the crowd scattered.
Buttrick was finally released and the
mob dispersed.

Mr.. Hoods offer to render her all the
assistance possible in settling up the af-

MALTREATING AMERICANS.
Brutal Conduct at Honduras to Be
Looked Into.

Washington, May 1.-THE United
States minister at Tegucigalpa, Hon
duras, Mr. Young, has been instructed
by the department of state to make an
investigation of the case of Mrs. Emma
Renton and to report the result to the
department.
Mrs. Renton, who has just arrived
in New York from Bluefields, lived with
her husband on valuable plantation
in Honduras. Adjoining property was
owned by the Brewers Wood and Pro-
duce company. the employees of which
were Canadians, French and Scotch.
The company, according to Mrs. Rem
toms story, which is corroborated by
affidavits by United States Consular
Agent Seal and others, trespassed upon
her husbands property and finally
killed her husband and Mr.. Johnson, an
American visitor. They looted the plan
tation, dragged Mrs. Renton and her
niece many miles through a foul
swamp, threatened her with death. and
drove her out of Honduras into Near
aqua. She finally reached Bluefelds

REDUCING EXPENSES.
Many Treasury Clerks Likely to Be
Relieved.

Washington, May 12.-Practical effect
will be given to the recommendations
of the Dockery joint commission in the
legislative, judicial and executive APP
preparation bill to be reported next
Tuesday. This bill provides for the
current expenses of the government de-
partments. In appropriating for these
expenses the bill will treat the reforms
proposed by the Dockery commission
as already accomplished. The main re-
form is in the methods of accounting
in the treasury department.
The commission recommended the
abolition of the Office of second comp
troller and Encouragement of auditors
The effect of the change was to dis
pense with 148 clerks and thus reduce
expenses $4,000. The reduction of the
office force applied to many chiefs of
divisions and other high-grade en-
ployees.
The changes were incorporated in a
bill which passed the House, but is
still pending in the Senate.
The appropriations committee will
treat the legislation as contaminated
and will appropriate for the treasury
on the basis of its reorgani zation.

New York can add nothing to the
glory Of Columbus. but she may en-
force the lesson of his life and dis
cOvery. The fire kindled by him on
the western hemisphere amid the dark
ness Of the fifteenth century, has be-
come the flame which Eliminates the
nineteenth with light and liberty. The
Columbian idea. of discovery was to
find a land whose gold could be mined

acquired, was to enrich beyond the
dreams of avarice, the sovereign OF
Spain. He had no conception of the
adventurous pioneer and thrifty emf
grant. The imagination can not pic
ture his amazement could he have fore
seen the marvellous results of the May
flowers voyage. The wealth poured
in such abundance from the mines OF
the new world into the treasury Of
Spain was a potent factor in the fall
OF her power and prestige in Europe.
The founders of our republic well
coined with cordial hospitality all who
came to escape oppression or better
their condition. The immigrants who
accepted the invitation and landed by
millions on our shores brought the
qualities and purposes which have adj
ded intellectually to the wealth of our
country.

in the six thousand years which shroud-

statue to his memory, because of the
unnumbered blessings to America, and
to the people of every race and cline,
which have followed his discovery. His
genius and faith gave to succeeding
