Details Of the Quadrap!e Lynchlng Yester-

YREKA. CAL. Aug. 27.-The great ex-
citement over the wholesale lynching is
somewhat subsidized. From the time the
mob began knocking the lock off from
Johnson's cell until they hanged him to
the rail, he begged piteously to bo spared.
He moaned and cried: boys, don't
hang me. Give me chance. l was
driven to desperation. Have mercy on
me.'
The only reply he received was: "You
will kill your wife, will you? You had
mercy on her, did you? Pull him up,
boys; hang the dog"
Null pleaded and begged to be spared,
bat to no avail. He was compelled to
suffer the penalty of death for his crime.
His trial was to have begun next Mon
Gay morning.
6temier, the youngest OF the four, also
pleaded to be spared, but was SO fright
enad he could hardly speak. AS he was

Moreno, the Mexican, met his fate with
speachless stolidity, caused by fright.
The prisoners in the Jail were trem bling
in their cells for fear the mob would not
be content with the murderers alone, and

SANG THE SAME OLD SONG
YolO County Farmers and the Board of
Equalization
A Tale Of Woe-No Money, No Honey and
Not Even a Billy doat-Gienn County
Horses and nuies

SACRAMENTO. Aug. 27.-Yolo county
representatives appeared before the state
board of equalization today ana sang the
old song about hard times and the depre-
citation in property values. The assess
ment roll presented for 1895 showed
reduction of 81. 5OS 127. The total roll
for 1894 was $l9 OOS, 2567. Assessor Cham
beriain said that farming land had de-
precinted fully 90 per cent.
The supervisors from Yolo county told
tale of poverty. The alfalfa was flooded
out and killed nearly every winter.
The assessment roll showed that Yolo
county had no lumber. not solitary bee
hive, has no honey and not even billy
goat, but to make up for all these de-
ticiencies there were $1,000 gallons of
brandy. held at ridiculously low figure.
George Featherstone. Glenn county's
assessor, announced that he had reduced
the assessment on Improvements $36. :
$50 from the valuations of 1894, and the
personal property $3.50, 1874. This loss is
principally caused by the depreciation
in the value of horses and mules. The
Glenn ranch of As. 600 acres produced only
76.00U sacks of wheat this year. Solano
county representatives also asked for a
reduction.

PROMINENT CANADIAN TALKS
He Defines the Prominent Issues of the Do
minion

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Hon. Joh +.
Stairs, one of the Conservative leaders of
the dominion parliament. in an inter-
view, said:
"The issue in Canada today is the Man
itoba school question. Protestants in
Manitoba today outnun ber the Catholics s
five to one. THIS is q recent preponGer-
ance. because ten years ago the tide of
immigration had set in toward the north
west At that time the schools were
separated. Most of the settlers If late
have been Protestants.
"TheIe is practically no annexation
sentiment in Canada" continued he,
who is an ardent imperialst. Canada
has too much national pride to desire an
nexation to the United States. AS for q
reciprocal union, it is not desired. be-
cause such condition would wipe out
our manufactures and makes US de-
pendency of the United States.
I'VE have no desire to lose our auton.
omy, political or commercial. Canada is
a protection country and the Conserva-
tive paper is protective tariff organlza-
tion. We want protection to Canada's in
dustries.
'With regard to tie imperial federation
plan, do not know wnere we stanu. We
are virtually independent of England
and the question arises only the right OF
veto concerning matters of legislation
which came up in the Canadian parlia-
ment.
"As to the financial troubles in New
foundland. Premier Greenway is in con-
troll, after being deposed from office. 1t
is my belief, though, that Newfound-
land is going to find it rather hard to
meet governmental expenses"

rIackay in q Mining Suit

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 27.-John
Mackay was the principal witness today
in the suit of Theodore Fox against the
Consolidated California and Virginia
Mining company. The capitalist depre-
Gated the idea of the existence of any
confederation by which the stockholders
of the mining company had been defraud-
ed throught the operations of the Com
stock Mill and Mining company. "Dis-
honest handling Of the ores" he said,
"would soon be detected through the DIS
cIepancy between the bullion returns and
the assay value" On cross-examination
Mackay said that Fair and himself owned
the Comstock mines for twelve years, and
in that time took out SIZE, 600, 900. He
declared that he had no knowledge of
the matters alleged in Fox's com plaint
and said that since 1888 he had had yery
little to do with the mine
