Proved an AIibf.

Seattle, May 27.-William A. Will
cox, who has been on trial the past
week for the murder of old Mrs. Char
lotte Fetting, in South Seattle in Sep
tember, 1898, was found not guilty this
afternoon by the jury. The verdict
was reached after the jury had been out
one hour and twenty five minutes. Will
cox was tried last January, and con-
victed of manslaughter, but the su-
preme court granted a new trial. This
time the state tried to prove that Will
cox murdered the old lady, and after
ward killed James King, of Tacoma,
who was supposed to have had hand
in the first crime, and who was about
to confess because Wilcox had not given
him his share of the money which was
stolen from the Fetting cabin. Wilcox
proved an alibi.

Permit Taken Out for the Erection OF q
Headquarters Building.
Washington, May 28.-The Knights
of Labor have taken out permit for
the erection of building for the ac-
commodation of the general offices of
the order. 1t is to be built at the cor
ner of First and B streets northwest,
facing the capitol grounds. A three
story building of brick and stone will
be built, and accommod odations provided
for the general offices of the order, and
for the publication of the journal of
the Knights of Labor. Speaking of
the reason for locating in Washington,
General Master Workman Sovereign
said,
1--WE are coming to Washington to
keep an eye on the action of senators
and representatives. The reforms
sought by labor can only be secured
through legislation. This is the seat
of war, and we want to be on the
ground to look out for the interest of
the masses. The toilers will in future
be represented before congressional
committees on all questions affecting
their welfare"

HAWAIIAN MAIL ADvlcEs.

Royalists Disappointed by the Result of
Richard and Walker Case.
San Francisco, May 2S.-The steam
ship China arrived from Honolulu to-
night, bringing the following advices
under date of May 20:
The correspondence between British
Commissioner Hawes and the foreign
Office will soon close with the laurels
in the hands of the foreign Office. The
claim made by the political prisoners,
Richard and Walker, has been COM
pletely refuted by the evidence submit
ted by the foreign Office. The written
application of these men for naturaliza-
tion, the payment of the fees, the tax
ing of the oath of allegiance and the
service of a year in the legislature one
of them has been carefully proved.
The British commissioner finds that he
was deceived by the statement of these
men, and will so report to the British
foreign Office. It was the expectation
of these men that the British govern
ment would interfere in a summary
manner and the royalists are bitterly
disappointed that the case goes against
them.

ANOTHER GREAT SAVING.
Press Dispatches Put In Type Direct
From the Wire.

Press Dispatches Put in Type Direct
From the Wire.
Louisville, May 28.-An interesting
and successful experiment. was made
there this morning, when the Associ-
ated Press news was taken direct from
the wire by a typesetting operator. The
introduction Of typewriters into the
telegraph business has been means of
greatly facilitating the transmission of
the press service of the Associated
Press, and several newspapers have
been experimenting of late with view
to doing away with the typewriter
and substituting therefor the linotype
machine, thus setting the news for the.
paper directly from the wire. This
morning loop from one of the Associ-
ated Press wires was run into the
Evening Posts composing room, and
B. q. Boyle, managing editor of the
Post, and Richard Cogan, chief opera
tor of the Associated Press, who are
both telegraph and linotype operators,
succeeded in receiving dispatches and
putting them in type directly from the
wire. The experiment proves that
the telegraph can be worked success
fully with the typsetting machines and
a maximum rate of speed of fifty words
a minute attained. In an hours work
this morning an average speed of thirty
words per minute was maintained.

The Bicycle Riders.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 25.-Both
John S. johnson and Tom Eek have
been released from their contracts with
Stearns & Co. The firm states that,
inasmuch as they have been expelled
from the League of American Wheel
men, they are of no further use to them.
One weeks notice is given in each case.
Eek and johnson took their discharge
very coolly. They do not expect to 90
abroad, as the season is too far advanc-
ed. Both say that Stearns has treated
them with scant courtesy, and that,
after keeping them in this city for
months, it was scarcely fair to dismiss
them with only a week s warning. Both
say, in case professionalism ever comes
to be recognized by the league, they
will have nothing more to do with the
firm.

The Railway Trainmen.

Galesburg, ILL.,, May 27.-The con-
vention of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen today heard charges of neg
lect of duty against Grand Master
Wilkinson during the three months he
was in California. He made state
ment in defense admitting he had been
guilty of indiscretions, and had not
looked after the affairs of the brother
hood as he should. Many in the con-
vention were inclined to deal leniently
with him. Grand Secretary Shepard
was included in the charges, but he
claimed not to have known that the
grand master was neglecting his work.
No conclusion was reached, but it is
likely Wilkinson will be allowed to
serve his term out. The affair caused
a heated debate,

The Fierce Forest Fires.

Superior, Wis, May 2s.-Reports
were received here this evening that
disastrous forest fires have been raging
all day in some of the heavy wooded
districts of Northern Wisconsin.
Along the line of the Duluth, South
Shore 6 Atlantic railroad fires broke
out early this morning at several points
and spread rapidly, consuming miles
of valuable pine. Near Iron river, fifty
miles east Of here, the fires were partic-
ularly destructive. One hundred car
loads of ties and four boxcars owned
by the Northern Pacific were destroyed.
The north bound South Shore limited
was delayed about four hours by the
burning of ties under the train. The
train crew reported the heat from the
flames almost unbearable. Five cars
were fired by sparks and narrowly es-
capped burning A stiff breeze blew all
day and the smouldering fires, which
had been partially extinguished by
heavy rains, were again famed into
roaring masses Of fire.

F0RMOSA A REPUBLIC
The People of the Island Have
So Declared.
ITS GOVERNOR MADE PRESIDENT
So Soon AS This Action Was Taken by
the Natives the Foreign Repre-
sentatives We're Notified.

Shanghai, May 27.-Formosa has de-
clared itself a republic, the flag being
yellow dragon on a blue ground.
The governor, Chang Ting Sung, is
made president and has notified the for
eign representatives.
Formosa, an island in the China
sea, was ceded by China to Japan in
the recent treaty. It is about 245
miles long and 100 miles wide at it's
widest part, which is at the center. 1t
contains an era of 1882 square miles.
The Chinese had no knowledge of For
mosa until the year 1403, and their
sway was not established over it until
1888. In 1852 the Dutch became
masters of it, but they were expelled
by the pirate Coxlinga, whose success
sors ruled it until 1888.

Topeka, Kan, May 28.-The raw
ages of chinch bugs in the wheat fields
Of Eastern Kansas have become so de-
structive that the farmers of many
counties are applying to Professor
Snow, chancellor of the state univer-
s.ty, requesting him to send them in
fected bugs with which to stop the
work of destruction. Chancellor Snow
has thousands of bugs at his laborator-
les which are diseased. To farmers he
sends few of these bugs inoculated
with disease and they are scattered in
the fields The contagion Immediately
spreads and the chinch bugs die by
the million.

The Battle Near Camasan.

New York, May 24.-A Havana
special says: The insurgents are still
in the field and fighting. "It is not
possible the dispatch continues,
under the circumstances to get much
news about the battle near Camasan,
which is the worst reverse the Cubans
have met with, but it is said the Span
iards were compelled to retire from the
battle with a large loss Of men, and
that Colonel Henido, who commanded
them, was fatally wounded. Guerra
Gomez, lieutenant in the Spanish
service, was fatally wounded, and in
surgent soldiers taken by the Spanish
claim he was killed. A fugitive band
of revolutionists pursued by the Span
ish burned the railroad depot at Maya

Victoria, B. c., May 23.-F. II.
May, captain-superintendent of the
Hong Kong police, and DR.. P. B. G.
Ayres, late colonial surgeon at Hong
Kong, were passengers from the Orient
on the Empress of India. Both took
prominent part in stamping out last
years black plague. They state that
in many places in the vicinity Of Hong
Kong the plague is as bad as last year,
and the authorities are having much
difficulty in keeping the village clear.
Both Portuguese and Chinese at Macao
have been attacked by the dread dis
ease, and one report says 400 deaths
occurred there in seven weeks There
were ffty-five deaths in three days. In
Hong Kong the disease broke out in
a number of overcrowded houses early
in the month. The authorities have
made the same arrangement for the
disposal of the dead and dying as last
year.

Ell Paso, Tex, May 81. = Samuel
Clayborn, a negro about 26 years old,
who came originally from Tuscaloosa,
Ala, arrived here yesterday from Mex
leo, accompanied by his wife and two
children. He tells sensational story.
He says that negro named Bill Ellis,
who lives at San Antonio, visited
Georgia and Alabama last fall and in
duced colony of 800 negroes from the
states to follow him to Mexico and To-
cate in barren valley on the borders
OF the states of Durango and Coahuila,
about forty miles east of Mapimi, on
the Mexican Central railroad. Clay
born says he told the people that they
were going to perfect paradise; that
lands were fertile, and that homes
would be given to every family free.
But when the poor negroes reached
their destination they were put to i'm
proving land under. Mexican overseers,
were not paid for their work and were
fed on the vilest food, and compelled to
sleep on the ground.
On May 9 Clayborn, his family and
about forty others of the negroes made
their escape and were pursued by armed
Mexicans. Clayborn became separated
from the other fugitives, and succeeded
in reaching chihuahua. The others
were captured, and one of their num-
ber, Antonio Bones, of Eutaw, Ala,
who again made his escape and reached
chihuahua, says the pursuers shot and
killed all of his party except himself.

NICARAGUA AND COSTA RIGA

The Probabilities of War Between the
Two Countries.
New York, May pa special to
the World from San Jose, Costa Rica,
says:
Nicaragua has been provoking this
country SO persistently that war seems
inevitable. The government here sup
posed the relations between the two
states were friendly until Nicaragua
suddenly stopped all communication.
She went SO far as to take away the
telegraph office at the frontier, thereby
violating treaty. This government
sent several kilograms to the Nicara-
guam government, but the latter refused
to answer. When Great Britain's ulti-
matum was received by Nicaragua,
Costa Rica offered to assist in arrang-
ing matters peacefully. Nicaragua did
not deign to even return a polite word
of thanks. President Iglesias is get
ting ready to resist an invasion from
Nicaragua, but the army will not be
called out until circumstances force
it. Only few men have been sent to
watch the border.
Nicaragua, it is reported here, has
several hundred men under arms ready
for an attack. The cabinet ministers
here wish no war. but if it must come
they claim to have better soldiers and
to be able to whip Nicaragua.
The Worlds Managua, Nicaragua,
special says:
''The World correspondent is in
formed that steps are being taken to-
wards the formation of an alliance be-
tween Nicaragua, Honduras, Salvador
and Guatemala in consequence of the
difficulties between this country and
Costa Riea. 1t is thought by some that
the differences may be submitted to
arbitration -

Not a Union Pacific Move.

Omaha, May 24.-With reference to
the story telegraphed from San Fran
cisco to the effect that the Union Pa
cific would at once make important ex-
tensions on the coast, S. 81. H. Clark,
the managing receiver Of the Union
Pacific, states that the report is entirely
untrue, SO far as it relates to his COM
pany. He said:
''It will be impossible as well as i'm
practicable for the Union Pacific rail
road to undertake so extensive system
of improvements. The reports clearly
relate to the Oregon Pacific. -

New York, May 28.-The Metal
Worker says: ''The marvellous growth
of the American tin-plate manufacture
in less than four years presents one of
the most remarkable instances of indus
trial effort in history. From nothing
it has become an established industry
of large proportions, which already
gives employment to some $1,000
hands. At the present moment, as far
as can be gathered from the latest re-
ports, there are in actual operation 90
tin-plate works proper, rolling their
own plates. Ten more are building,
two or three of which are practically
complete and ready to start up, while
the majority of the others are expected
to be in operation by July IL

GouLD's PERSONAL TAX.

The Children of the Millionaire Say q
Great Injustice Is Done Them.
New York, May 27.-Some of the
testimony taken by w. L. Cannon, jr.,
referee in the certiorari proceedings in
which the estate of Jay Gould and Jay
Gould's children resist paying personal
taxes here on the ground of non-resi
dence, is interesting. The commits
sioner of taxes and assessments put
$40, 900 valuation upon the person
ality of the estate for taxation in 1894,
and assessed the personal property of
George J. Gould at $500, 900, and put
an assessment of 500, 1000 each upon
the personal property of Howard, Ed
children, besides alleging non-resi-
dence, complained that there was great
injustice done them in the making Of
the assessment, inasmuch as other
wealthy people and estates were taxed
at less rate. George Gould testified
that in 1898 no estate was taxed as that
of William FL. Vanderbilt, which was
taxed on $4,000, 900 valuation, al
though the estate was supposed to be
worth 500, 600, 900, with the exception
of the assessment which was made
against his fathers estate, which was
put up at $40, 900, 900. He said Cor
nelius and William z. Vanderbilt
were each taxed on a valuation of
$780, 900 of personal property, while
they were said to be worth 500, ,O00,
900. Russell Sage had been assessed on
valuation of $500, 900 that year, the
Tilden estate on $500, 900, Andrew
Carnegie on $10,0 900 and G. P. Hunt
ington, one of the wealthiest railroad
men in the country, on $150,O00.
