Wilfrid Smith, a worthy and useful
citizen of Newark, O., was lately MUIR
dered by tramps under circumstances Of
peculiar atrocity. He found the wretches
in his haymow, where they had taken
refuge. They attacked him in cold blood,
killed him and set fire to the stable. 1t

country that they escaped. The tramp

men from the country came into the
hotel and registered for lodging, and
few minutes later two of them went
out to see the town. II will stay

door.
At 10 o'clock, a half hour later, the
man who was left went up to the
clerk.

"All right, sir" answered the clerk.
The man stood and looked at the
clerk, and finally went back to his
chair near the door.
He sat still another hour and re.

A curious behavior of crimson
clover last fall was that it did well on
some plots and refused to make a
stand on others. This is due to the
time of planting. Some sowed the
seed as late as September, which did
not allow the young plants sufficient
length of time to grow before winter.
Those who did not succeed should try
the experiment this year of getting tie
seed in not later than August 10.

DUBIOUS PROSPECT.
Indications Are That the Sea-
son Will Probably Prove
Very Improbable.
BER1NG SEA PATROL FLEET
It Is to Be Made Up of the Revenue
Cutters From the Sound and
British Columbia.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, March o.
Reliable information indicates that this
will be very Improbable season for
American sealing schooners now out, for
despite the fact that British and American
schooners have been in close company on
cruises, the latter have been meeting with
very poor luck, while the British vessels
have been filling their holds with skins.
Sealskin Inspector Fowler returned to-
day from trip to Neah Bay, where q
dozen schooners were awaiting good
weather to continue the chase, and not
single one of the feet, which includes sew
eral owned and operated by the Neah Bay
Indians, has thus far taken enough skins
to pay for Quitting.
The seal herd is now well on the way to
the breeding-grounds at Copper and other
Boring Sea islands, and the schooners will
follow at no distant date.
Information is to the effect that the patrol
feet this season will be made up entire
ly of revenue cutters, which is not pleasing
to the sealers, as these vessels are under
the command of more experienced men
and capable of going to many places where
warships heretofore have been excluded
from entering by the shallow water.
The following sealing vessels have called
at Neah Bay, preparatory to going north:

A BRITISH COLUMBIA ROAD.
REPORTS THAT THE BRITISH PA
CIFIC RAILWAY HAS FLOATED
ITS BONDS.
HISTORY OF THE LINE THAT WILL
PARALLEL THE CANA
DIAN PACIFIC.

TACOMA, WASH, March 26-News was
received in this city to-day from London
that the projectors of the British Pacific
Railway have succeeded in floating their
bonds in England. The news is thought
to be authentic.
Arrangements for the disposal of bonds
was made through aQuebec capitalist, who
took the project in hand when Frank
Brakeman of Chicago failed, and succeeded
in negotiating the bonds in the European
markets.
Brakeman is entirely out of the project
Colonel A. J. Kane, who was associated
with him, has been in England year in
the company's interest. He is expected
here shortly.
Two rival companies were organized in
1891 to secure charter for building the
road. The company known as the Cana
dian Western secured the charter with a
land subsidy of 10000 acres a mile and a
cash subsidy of $500 mile for equip
ment.
This was in the spring of 1892. The hard
times prevented the company securing
money to build. In 1894 the company was
reorganized as the British Pacific
and the Government of British Columbia
made an additional concession by guaran-
teeing the interest on the bonds. Some
survey work was done last year to hold the
| charter.
| As soon as the bonds can be turned over,
it is expected that construction work will
| begin. The road is to be built through
British Columbia and Manitoba, north of

HAWAIAN EXILES CASES.
Suit to Be Brought against the Canadian
Australian steamship line.

Suit to Be Brought against the Canadian
australian Steamship Line.
VANCOUVER, B. c., March 26.-Some
DAYS ago man named Houck, claiming to
be lawyer from Honolulu, arrived here and
proceeded to interest himself in the cases
of the three deported exiles, Mueller,
Cranston and tombstone. He interviewed
numerous local EIen and learned as much
as possible regarding statements made by
them.
Saturday night William A. Kinney,
Judge Advocate, who presided at the re-
cent court martial in Honolulu, arrived
here. When interviewed Kinney was very
guarded in his statements, but it was ascer-
tanned that he had come here in connec-
ton with a suit instituted by the exiles
against the Canadian-Australian Steamship
Company, the exiles claiming $3.50 900
each.
The Hawaiian Government had to give
the steamship company bond to indem-
nifty them against any action which might
be brought, and the Government has &C
cordingly decided to fight the suit to the
end. Kinney has engaged E. P. Davis, @.
c., of this city, one of the ablest lawyers OF
the West, to fight the case, and brought
with him numerous documents.
The Hawaiian Government claims that
in the deportation they were acting within
international law, and that in any case the
damages claimed are absurd. as the men
were only making bare living in Homo
lulu. Kinney left again Sunday, and it is
understood he has gone to San Francisco
In speaking of the case brought by the
Hawaiian exiles, Mueller, Cranstoun and
tombstone, against heCanadian- Australian
Steamship Company, E. P. Davis, counsel
for the company, said to-day regarding the
attitude of the Hawaiian Government in
the case:
"They are anxious to have the question
settled as to their right to deport danger
Gus characters from the islands when the
latter are, as during the late crisis, under
martial law. They claim such a right in
the present instance, and are anxious to
have that right established by a judicial
decision in another country.
''Mr. Kinney came here with authority
to retain special counsel to represent them,
but upon examination decided to leave
the matter as it was. Consequently 1 am
not retained by the Hawaiian Gov
eminent at all, but in looking
after the interests of the present
defendants I am raising the point they
wished to see raised and settled, which
comes to the. same thing. The case could
not possibly come up for trial until the
fall, since commission would have to be
issued to take evidence in Honolulu"

A SERGEANT SUSPENDED
How the Officer Secured Fuel

Expense.
AN INVESTIGATION ON FOOT.
Other Officers Will Also Be Put on
the Rack to Explain Their
Actions.

VANCOUVER, B. c., March 26.-Van-
couver will in all probability have a Lexow
investigation of its police force.
Last night Sergeant Haywood was sus-
pended from duty, and it is said that sew
eral serious charges will be made against
him. The police committee has direct
proof that for some years past all fuel used
by him has been taken from the city's sup
ply and carried to his house by prisoners.
He also had his house connected with
the electric light system at the police
station and never paid cent for light, the
same being charged to the city.
These are the two specific charges on
which he is suspended, but it is understood
that others of graver nature will be brought
forward shortly. The conduct of certain
other officers will also probably be inves-
tigated
