The Illinois Bill Relating to News
paper Libel.
Springfield, ILL.,, June Ex-Governor
Altgeld today signed the libel bill.
This law provides that in any action
brought for the publication of libel,
the plaintiff shall recover only actual
amount of damage, if it shall appear
at the trial of such action, that such
publication were true, or its falslty
was due to a mistake for misapprehen-
sion of facts or in the next two regular
issues of the newspaper, after the mis-
take or Misrepresentation was brought
to the knowledge of the publishers,
whether before or after the action had
been brought, correction or retraction
was published in as conspicuous
manner and place as was the libel, no
exemplary or punitive damages shall
be recovered unless the plaintiff shall
before bringing suit, give notice IN
writing to the defendant to publish a
retraction or correction of the libel,
and before bringing suit allow the de-.
PENDANT reasonable time to publish
such correction or retraction. The
provisions of the act shall not apply to
case of any libel against any candi-
date for public Office, unless the retrac-
ton charge is made editorially, in a
conspicuous manner, at least ten days
before the election.

PAGE ACQUITTED.
He Is Declared Not Guilty OF the Muir
of Harry

He Is Declared Not Guilty of the Muir
der of Harry Frazer.
Seattle, June 26.-After being out
forty five hours and thirteen minutes,
the jury in the case of Paul E. Page,
charged with the murder of Harry
Fraser, tonight brought in verdict of
acquittal, after trial lasting all last
week. Page is a farmer from Mitchell,
S. D., who was ON his way to Alaska
to engage in mining. Fraser was pro-
prietor of the Northern hotel bar. The
night of April %, Page engaged in a
game of dice with Fraser in the
Northern hotel bar. E. G. Marden,
the bartender; William Ireton and
Frank johnson were present. A dis
pute regarding change arose, which
ended in Page shooting Fraser, who
died few days later.
The prosecution endeavored to prove
that Page was eager to gamble, and
drank five or six absinthe cocktails
during the evening; that he tried to
swindle Fraser out of change for $40
bill, and that when Fraser grabbed the
bill he fired. The defense claimed
that Marden and johnson were loaded
dice men, and knowing that Page had
about $3.50 on him, conspired to drug
and rob him; that Page only drank one
cocktail, and that was drugged; that
he only fired when he felt himself
yielding to the drug, and had just
enough sense left to know the men
were bouncing on him to rob him; that
he, therefore, fired in self defense, his
sense of proportion being so clouded by
drugs that he was incapable of properly
gauging the means of defense to be
used.
The defense thoroughly broke Mar
den and Johnson's testimony on cross
examination, and exposed them as
gamblers and dice-swindlers. The ac-
quittal is largely due to the dirsepu-
table character of the witnesses for the
prosecution, and failing to put Fraser's
diving statement in evidence.

MILLIONS IN MINES.
Large Investments Are Made In Pacific
Coast Property.

Coast Property.
New York, June Millions of
dollars have been invested in gold
mines in the past few MONTHS said
John McDonough, president of the
First National bank of Creole, Colo.
"a curiours proof of the solidity and
conservatism of the investors is the
fact that they do not allow these de-
tails to be made public if they can help
it, the odium attached of late years to
the mining business being SO great as
to almost affect a mans credit. This
spring several large gold properties
have been purchased by New York and
Boston capitalists, but these men adopt
different method to that in vogue a
few years ago. The days Of wildcat
ting in this country are practically
gone. Investors nowadays first make
sure of the presence of an ore body.
They pay for ore in sight. That is the
method which has made David Moffat,
of Denver, and other miners so
wealthy. The capitalists step in with
the cash required to bring the ore to
the surface. Deals have been put
through this spring in California,
Idaho, Colorado, Montana and Arizona,
some of them running over million
and half dollars. In Europe, espe
cially in Paris, London and other money
centers, there seems to be mining
craze, but that is for South African
stocks, and we do not want any of
that excitement over here, as it dis
credits the business aspect of the min
ing world

The Championship Fight.

Dallas, June 28.-The plans for the
great amphitheater for the seating of
the 1000 people who are expected to
witness the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight
are about complete, The ground chosen
is two miles from the heart of the city,
in good walking distance from the
Texas Pacific and Central railways,
and along the lines of the former. The
Texas Pacific will undoubtedly run an
accommodation of twenty-five coaches
to relieve the four street-car lines which
run to the grounds. Dallas has four
frst-class hotels, one boasting of being
the finest in the South, thirty of the
second-class, and boarding houses by
the mile
The suggestion that John Duffy, of
New Orleans, referee the fight, is well
received at headquarters. 1t is con-
coded that he is master of prize-ring
rules and that no fairer man could have
been found in the world,
The story that Corbett will train at
Terrell is not credited here. The
weather in Texas up to the beginning
of October is too hot for that work. He
will doubtless be here for three or four
weeks before the fight Or during Octo-
Der. The odds are still ON Corbett, but
the bet by Green of $4,000 to $4,000
on him is the only one yet reported.

THE WORLDS MONEY
Prospects for an International
Conference.
THE PRESENT SITUATION MIXED
The New German Ambassador Does Not
Believe His Government Will
Issue a Call Immediately.

Washington, June 81. - There is
apparently considerable confusion as to
the prospects of an international con-
ference to consider the rehabilitation
of silver to be called ON the initiative
of Germany. This is due to the con-
tiicting reports that have been re-
ceived, also apparently to the compli-
cations of the question as it presents
itself in Germany. Those who have
given attention to the progress of silver
In Germany say that Chancellor Won
Hoehenlohe announced in the begin
ming that Germany's action in the
matter would depend upon two circum-
stances. The first of these was that
the German Legislative bodies instruct
for the issuance of call, and second,
that there should be substantial
agreement among the powers as to the
terms of the call. The latest report
makes it apparent that a majority of
the federal governments want Germany
to issue the call for it, 1t is under
stood now that, accepting this action ON
the part of different states in the light
VI oil lustl uOtIOu, Vic CIlduCcllOT Will
proceed to negotiate with other powers
as to the terms of the call. The United
States has made known it's wishes in
this respect, so far as the legislative
part of the government can act, in pro-
viding for the appointment of dele
gates. In this resolution, provision
was made that the United States
should be represented only in case the
conference should be called to provide
for restoration of bimetalism. When
the question was before the Prussian
diet, an effort was made by Chancellor
Won HohenlOhe to amend the resolution
so as to leave out the requirements
that the call should be on these lines,
but it failed. If the other federal Ger
man states have taken the same posi-
ton, the chancellor, it is said, will
be virtually pledged to vote for a call
on basis of the return to the bimetal-
lie system. 1t then remains to be de-
termined whether the other powers
will accept this basis and especially
what England may do in the premises.
The advocates of an international un-
derstanding feel that change of ad-
ministratiOn in England will be in the
interest of the movement, and they
are, upon the whole, considerably en-
couraged over the outlook for another
conference.

ONE POLICY JUST NOW
To Dissolve Parliament as
Soon as Possible.
AN ACCUSATION OF DISCOURTESY
An Apology From the New Premier and
Its Acceptance by ROsebery in
the House of Lords.

London, June 29.-In the house of
Lords today Premier Marquis Sails
bury announced that he hoped to obtain
the queens consent to the dissolution
of parliament July s. He added that
the time had not arrived for declara-
ative party. The latter, he added
only had one policy at present, and
that was to dissolve parliament as soon
as possible. Lord Rosebery expressed
surprise at the government declining
to disclose its policy. Continuing the
ex-premier asked for an explanation of
the Marquis of Salisbury's strange pro-
ceedings in sending to Mr.. Campbell
Bannerman, the secretary of state for
war, Tuesday morning for the seals of
the latter's Office. The Marquis of
Salisbury said the Rosebery statement
was incorrect. He explained that,
after Fridays vote, in the house of
commons, he, the Marquis of Salisbury,
thought it desirable to appoint min
lister of war forthwith, and Therefore he
sent to Mr.. Campbell Bannerman to
ask him if it was convenient for him
to deliver his official seals to the sover-
eign earlier than the other ministers,
and, if he did not desire to go to Wind
sor himself, he could deliver them to
the private secretary of the Marquis Of
Salisbury.
The Earl of Kimberly, late secretary
of state of foreign affairs, asserted the
Marquis of Salisbury had sent his Sec
rotary to Mr.. Campbell Zimmerman for
the seals, just as he would send a foot
man on an Grand, and thought the &C
ton of the marquis was extremely dis
courteous In reply, the Marquis of
Salisbury said if Mr.. Campbell-Ban-
herman thought he, the Marquis of
Salisbury, had acted discourteously,
he begged to express his extreme re-
grets for the occurrence, and felt sorry
for it, Lord Rosebery accepted the
apology from the marquis ON behalf of
the secretary of war, and the house
adjourned.
Thomas Gibson Bowles, the tory
member who made special attack on
the government fisheries bill, while
riding along Rotten Row, met Lord
Rosebery, to whom he remarked that
at last the seal fisheries bill had been
passed.
EYES," replied Rosebery, laughing,
land there's been a good deal of fish
ing for seals of Office this week. "
In the house of lords assent was
given in the usual form to the seal fish
cries bill.

IONA and New MEXICO, and covering
IL, 1875, 900 acres of land, which has
been on trial for three weeks, was de-
cided today in favor of the government.

ant to connect herself with the Peralta
family. Chief Justice Reed announced
it was not necessary to determine who
Mrs. Peralta- Reavis was, but it was
sufficient to hold that she was not
an heir of the alleged grant, nor en-
titled to maintain the suit, The writ
ten opinion will be filed by the chief
justice as soon as it can be prepared.
Upon advisement, Reavis was ar
rested by the United States marshal
for asserting false claims against the
government upon complaint made by
the United States which was filed
by Attorney Reynolds, under instruc-
lions given by Attorney General Olney
before he left the department of JUS
tice. Attorney Reynolds and associate,
Mallet Provost, are being showered
with congratulations from all over Ari-
IONA. This practically ends the most
StupendOus fraud ever attempted in this
country, and successfully carried out
for quarter of century.
The opinion was unanimous, and
in announcing the conclusions of the
court, Chief Justice Joseph Reed said:
''The plaintiffs motion to suppress
certain portions of the testimony filed
by the defendant will be overruled.
We are of the opinion that under the
provisions of the statute, under which
the court is organized, it is competent
for party to take his testimony before
member of the court beyond the
limits of the states named in the &C
ton. We are unanimously of the
opinion that the several documents
upon which the claims purport to be
based, as existing in Spain and in Mex
leo, are forgeries. The claim appears
to us to be fictitious, and the docu-
ments appear to have been surrep-
tiously introduced into the records and
archives at Seville and Guadalupe.
Entertaining these views, it is, per-
haps, unnecessary to go into the ques-
ion as to whether Mrs. Reavis is lin
cal descendant of Miguel Peralta or
not. Judging from her physical ap-
pearance, we would say that she is
doubtless Of Spanish origin, but por-
ton of the testimony by which her de-
scent from the original grantee is al
lowed to be established namely, the
baptismal and burial records of the
parish of San Salvador, Cal, are man
ifestly forgeries, and have been evil

tablishing her identity. Therefore the
claim may be rejected, and the petition
of the plaintiff will be dismissed and a
decree to that effect will be entered. y

A Correspondent in a Dungeon.

Boston, June 27.-Frank r. Wood
ward, a correspondent in Cuba for
New York newspaper, is in Spanish
dungeon for visiting an insurgent
camp. He was under surveillance and
tried to escape on the British steamer
Ely, which has arrived here from
Banes, Cuba, but the Spanish guards
recognized him and then thrust him
into prison. He is to be taken to Glib
ara for trial.
Woodward arrived at Banes from the
interior, June Is, the day before the
Ely sailed. His horse was nearly dead
from fatigue. and both man and horse
were covered with mud. This was
what aroused Spanish suspicious, and
Woodward was very i'll. He had lot
of notes detailing the strength and
movement of the rebels. The Spaniards
took them.
Woodward asked Captain Donovan
to Immediately notify the press of the
United States so as to bring his arrest
to the notice of the state department,
for he feared the papers the Spaniards
seized will be used against him.
The Spaniards, it is understood, will
charge him with being rebel officer
trying to escape to the United States.
Woodward told the officers of the
Ely that there were l 900 rebels about
Holguin. There was rumor in Banes
when the Ely left, that two other
United States correspondents had been
arrested near Santiago. The aathori-
ties have ordered all correspondents to
leave the country Immediately.

courts, for the reason that the raising
OF large sums of money required by the

money to remain under the same man.

HIS GUILT DOUBTFUL.
The Supreme Court Might Not Have
Convicted Him.

Olympia, Wash, June 2S.-The su-
preme court today affirmed the judg-
ment in the case of the state, respond
ent, VS.. William Holmes, appellant.
In doing so, the court stated that the
question of whether or not the defend
ant should have been found guilty Of
murder in the first degree had given
more trouble than all the technical err
rOrs assigned in the case. The facts
are that the defendant was colored
boy, weak bodily, but of great strength
of mind, working in the Oregon I'm
provement Company's mines at Frank
lin, King county. William Russell,
the man killed, was large, powerful
bully. Holmes and Russell roomed
together, and, January "a, 1894, con-
gregated at the company's saloon, it
being pay day. Holmes had taken
Russell's pistol from the table in their
room and gave it to another boy, tell
ing him to take it home. Russell &C
cused the defendant of stealing the
pistol and searched Holmes. Not find
ing the pistol, Russell then assaulted
the boy, slapping him on either side of
the face, and using abusive language.
He gloried in being bully; didn't care
for death, and Calculated to have a
niger before the day was oyer. "
When Holmes made his escape, he got
the pistol from the boy, returned to the
saloon and deliberately fired at Russell.
The first shot did not take effect.
Russell jumped at the defendant, when
Holmes fired again, striking him in the
forehead. Russell fell and Immediate
ly expired. The court said:
"This is hard case. Had the SUI
preme court sat as jurors under the
testimony shown, it is questionable if
they would have felt justified in re-
turning verdict of murder in the first
degree, but reversal is asked for on
technical errors, which the court is not
able to support. The first error as
signed is want of jurisdiction in the
trial judge, because Judge J. q. Moore,
before whom the trial was held, is not
one of the judges elected from the
county of King; but as the defendant,
knowing the inelligibility of the judge,
who tried his case, and yet submitting
himself to the jurisdiction, being ready
to avail himself of the action of the
court, if the verdict should have been
in his favor, he should not be permitted
to object when it eventuates in YER
dict against him. The next assign
ment of error is that the new law was
not observed in impaneling jury.
The supreme court thinks, however,
the law in this case was complied with.
While the jury was celebrating, three
members resisted verdict of murder
in the first degree, until told by an
other juror that it was in the power of
the trial judge to sentence the defend
ant upon conviction of murder in the
first degree, to life imprisonment, in
stead of death. Consequently, the
doubtful jurors consented to a verdict.
The court holds the jurors were not in
terested in penalty which could be
imposed by the court. Several other
minor errors are also urged, but all not
of sufficient weight to justify reversal
of the Judgment.
