CRY that his voice trembled when ne spoke
to the group Of reporters. AT the door
leading from the drawing room into the
Office the face of a woman, anxious and
troubled. appeared. and as the warden
made these emphatic statements she
smiled and withdrew quickly. II was Mrs.
Buchanan. and she had just left her hus-
band. Warden Sage made the statement
accredited to him after meeting his mes
senser. whom he had sent to Albany, al

den and presented to the United States
court, returned at , o'clock with word that
the attorney generals department at Al

matter other than the verbal one that IL
would be all right to proceed. Warden
Sage sent him right back to Albany to

Lots OF Governors, but Never Yet .
President.


New York sun
Mac and Nc are having q great show
Al this time in politics There IS Gov.
Mckinley, OF Ohio. Gov. MacConkle, or
West Virginia. Gov. Mcconnell, OF Idaho.
Gov. McGraw. OF Washington. and Gov.
Mclntirs. OF Colorado. All Of them. with
a single exception. and his name Is Mac
for sure, which OF them are OF the irish
stock and which OF the Scotch. but there
Is no harm in guessing that AcGraw, Nc
Conneu and nacCorkle have the humor
of the shamrock In their veins and that
Mclntire has the juice Of the thistle In
his. As for Mckinley, ne goes around
as man OF Seotch-Irish"-but why not
rather Irish-Scotch descent. That Is
10 say, some ancestor of his. born per-
haps at Dhu Heartache, in Scotland, emf
grated to somewhere In Ireland. prob
ably TO place lying well north OF Nc
Gillicucdy's Reeks. How Will his presi-
Dental boom be affected by this circum-
stance? II is hard TO tell. but inquiry
may be made a. Dhu Hear.ache-
We are not sure that the gubernatorial
Macs or Mes here enumerated are either
from Ireland or Scotland by way Of their
forefathers. One OF Napoleon's fecest
marshals was Macdonald, and he was
Frenchman. as any one can see by look
ing at his full name. Etienne jacques
Joseph Alexandra Macdonald. Again,
there was a German in this town short
while ago who could not speak the En-
glfsh language, and he was Mac too.
In the Russian pale there are plenty OF
Macs. and some of them have come to
New York.
So. after all. II IL possible that Gov. Nc
Graw and Gov. MacCorkle and Gov. Nc
Connell. il not also Gov. McIntire and Gov.
Mckinley. may be of French or German or
Russian-Hebrew ancestry. If so. II must
not be forgotten that the German-born
and the Russian-born voters in this coun-
try are very numerous. while even the vote
OF our French-born citizens might turn an
election II looks rather strange that not
one Of the whole FIVE OF them bears the
name or Patrick. There are three Will
Jams among them, one John and one AL
bert. Where IL there any shamrock. or
thistle. or feur-de-lis, or bears-grease
about these names? Why. they are all
redolent OF England. where King William.
or several kings Of that name, and King
John, and Prince Albert lived.
In every state which has a Mac or Nc

Mac or Nc would like to be president of
the United States. There 10 even rurnor
OF the kind about Mckinley, OF Ohio. Is
there a show for any one of them? 1t
is doubtful. For there never was a Mac
or Nc who reached the presidency. Gen.
Mcclellan was a candidate for the Office,
but he was beaten. Gov McDuffie. OF
South Carolina, hoped to get the place,
but he was never even nominated for 1t.
Gen. Mcdowell may once have thought of
1t. but that was long before the battle of
Manassas.
Now. again. looking a year ahead. what
about Mckinley? and is il possible that
he may be the first Nc to shine as the boss
of the White House, ana to order Coxey
to keep off the grass? Well. we don't
know. but the country might have great
deal worse luck.

Trailing the Coat.
London Truth.

Every one knows the policy OF 'trail-
ing the coat" which is pursued with
such success by British craftsmanship on
the Indian and other frontiers. 1t con-
sists in sending over the frontier a
small force, large enough to alarm the
natives, but not large enough to pre-
vent them attacking it. They attack. A
British reverse" ensues. Thereupon the
national honor requires us TO at once ad-
vance in force, and avenge the insult by
conQuering the "aggressors' and annex
ing their territory. This policy Is not
only hard on the natives. it Is also very
hard on the British force which serves
the purpose of decoy. Its position is
that of the lamb tied to a stake by the
huntsman who desires to shoot tiger or
other beast Of prey. and doomed to be
mangled while the sportsman pots his
game from a neighboring tree.

ers In their cells. Victor Casey, Robert
Christian and William Christian made a
savage onslaught on him with weapons
which they had managed TO Secrete. He
was struck terrific blow over the right
eye and knocked insensible. The prison.
ers dashed out over his body and away TO
freedom. scattering the people on the
crowded street and keeping at bay their
pursuers with a rapid discharge of re-
volvers. which In some unknown manner
they had obtained. Casey jumped into a
vehicle containing a man and a woman,
and at the point OF a pistol compelled
them to jump out. Almost before they
had time to obey his commands Chief of
Police Jones opened fire on the escaping
prisoner. who promptly returned the fire.
A perfect fusillade then took place be-
tween the two Christians and Casey and
several officers. Casey and officer Jones
were Instantly killed, one man was shot
through the leg, and a woman was
slightly wounded by spent bullet One
of the Christians then mounted the dead
officers horse, while the other compelled

citizens. Bloodhounds were brought into
requisition, and there Is little doubt that
they will be captured before morning.
Should they be cUught, double lynching
will surely follow.
Casey was 10 years old. He killed Dep
uty Marshal Ferris at Yukon, O. T., last
summer. He would have been released on
bonds tomorrow. Bob and VIII Christian
are noted desperadoes. and were confined
on the charge of killing Deputy Marshal

impossible IN many sections OF the city
to procure liquor on Sunday. The climax
OF dry Sundays was reached today. how

throughout the city warned the saloon
keepers that not even side doors would be
tolerated today. Many OF the liquor
dealers were frightened and made no at
tempts to open their establishments.
Those who were daring enough TO offend
the excise laws by selling liquors were
generally arrested without delay. Police
Commissioner Andrews. accompanied by
his wife, traversed Eighth avenue tonight

Omaha, June so.-There II much discus
sion In Omaha az TO whether or not De-
fauIting Treasurer Henry Bollin shall be
prosecuted. The records show that at
least $25ooo OF city funds was missing
when BoIlin was deposed. AS this was
made good by bondsmen and the city lost
nothing, some were In favor OF letting
Bollin escape further prosecution. re-
nnarkabIe feature of the case was made
public today, when letter FROM Acting

compromising a felony, as follows:
Omaha, June T.-George p. Bernis.
Mayor, City-Dear Sir: In response 10
request for Information as 70 your legal
duty in the matter of Henry Bollin, city
treasurer, permit me to say that the pow
ers conferred upon the mayor ana the pen
alties provided by law are Intended TO sub
serve a useful purpose. and not as means
Of persecution. That Mr.. Bollin has VIC
lated the law is beyond question IL should
be also remembered that Boliin has lived
in this city for thirty years; that up TO
tao months ago no man had better repu-
tation for integrity than he. and no ofr-
cial better record IN the performance OF
his official duties than Bollin. III a reputa-

has lost his reputation. his record in Office
during several terms past is sullied. his
property Is all turned over to his bonds
men, his means OF livelihood Is suddenly
cut Off. and his EIfferings are such as but
few endure. To attempt further punish
ment would look more like persecution
than the performance of duty.
you should endeavor to disregard the
harangues in the city council and the para
graphs I'm the newspapers. all of which are
evidently intended TO work UP sentiment
favorable to various political movements
this coming fall.
'In the case OF Henry Bollln there are a
number OF extenuating circumstances.
There is no evidence thus far that any
record has been mutiiated or falsified in
the least. The shortage of the Office APP

Boiiin intended to steal there would have
been attempts to cover and conceal. all OF
which are lacking an this case. Had such
been his intention there IL no reason why
his shortage should not have gone up into
tho hundreds OF thousands. instead of as
II really is. II is now evident that not only
the city will not lose a dollar. but even
Boliin's bondsmen are not likely to lose
dollar in this matter. and do not think
