THE vulgar and brutal attack made in
an editorial in the Journal yesterday
upon Pastor Krantz was one of the most
shocking ebullltions of petty spite we
have ever seen in a 1t
makes US ashamed that journalism, even
city, should ever descend to such a level.
THE alliance between DIR. Parkhurst
and leila Nieolaus must be e~minently
pleasing to the virtuous people of New

Nh. LEON ABBETTS statement re-
garding Eugene Murphy's s~candalous
charges against him seems to be con-
elusive. He denies absolutely n with
out reserve the receipt at any time as
well as the present possession of any fur
State, save and except the desk which
was bought for his use as a State officer
and which is now being used by him for
State business in his capacity as Counsel
of the State Dairy Commission. The
Committee is only weakening the moral
effect of such discoveries as it is making
by allowing petty personal SANDER to be
grated upon the testimony.
THE returns of the township elections
held on Tuesday show some reaction in
favor of the Democracy. The victory in
Cane May is as remarkable as it is unex-
pected. Morristown rejected the incum-
bent Republican Director, Mr.. McGill. and
elected a Democrat, Thomas H. Hoaghan.
Rutherford went Democratic after a hard
fight, and in Manascuan the Republican
and Prohibition candidate was defeated
by James w. Houten, the Citizens
nominee. In Bridgeton. the Populsts
showed remarkable strength. In Salem,
the results were a stand-off. one coun-
Gilman of each party being elected.
Pennington gives a clean Democratic
sweep, and so does Readington own
ship. The Republican victory in Bound
Brook was due to a fiuke, hat party talk
ing advantage of new Legislation of
which the Democracy was ignorant.
Finally Long Branch Democrats elected
their entire ticket. This Is not 9 bad
showing.

Havana, June 22.-Three columns Of
troops, consisting of 1000 men, under
Generals Gasci and Garcia, and Colonel
Navarro, acting in conjunction with and
accompanied by nine guides have left
Hongola Songo marching in the direc-
tion of Grand Piedra In order to attack
strong positions occupied by the insur-
gents In the Sierra Maestro. The coun-
try traversed by the troops is full of
intricate paths and the soldiers are ex-
periencing much difficulty in pushing for
ward. The place in which the insurgent
camp and hospital is located Ii thought to
be Inaccessible.
One hundred insurgents under Basilio
Guerra have been attacked by Colonel
Riso at Augadilla, near Remedies, Santa
Clara. The insurgents disbanded and left
two dead and four wounded on the field.
Troops are being sent from the prov
ince of Santiago De Cuba to the province

WATCH ON FILLIBUSTERERS.
Washington. June 22.-Information from
Brunswick, Ga, indicates the vigor with
which the authorities are carrying out the
proclamation of President Cleveland and
the instructions of Attorney General Har-
mon for the suppression of fillibusterers.
The United States revenue boat Bout
well, stationed at Brunswick, recently
saw what was regarded as suspicious cir
cumstances in the departure of the yacht
Puzzle. A revenue officer went aboard
on the 10th inst, whereupon the crew
jumped into the boats and made their es-
cape. 1t confirmed the suspicious of the
officials that the yacht was to be used In

Private advices received In Washington
from Mantanzas, Cuba, state that large
quantity of dynamite ammunition has
been found on the shore. 1t is believed to
be part of the cargo of the filibustering

BARRETT scoTT's LYNcHERs TRIAL
Nebraska vigiIantes VIII Probably Prove
Conclusive AIibis

Butte, June 23.-Tomorrow the alleged
lynchers of Barrett Scott will be placed
on the stand to testify in their own be-
half. They are expected to assist in es-
tablishing an alibi by declaring that they
were hunting stock in the sand hills at
the time of the lynching. This can not be
successfully denied, since in the neighbor-
hood of the defendants homes there is
vast territory in which are stock ranges
and where white men are seldom seen.
There was quite sensation in court yes
terday when Miss Addie Landsworth, the
pretty little sweetheart of Fred Harris.
was on the stand testifying to save her
lover.
The witness Simonson, who wanted to
marry this girl and was Tilted by her
had sworn to an alleged conversation be-
tween her and Harris on one OCCASION
when both Simonson and Harris called to
see her. IT was the theory of the defense
that the remarks made by Harris at
that time, which was after the prelimin-
airy examination, were made in joke,
and the defense claimed that Smonson,
through jealousy OF Harris, had purposely
garbled his statement. The sensation was
increased by the knowledge that the wit
ness was the person that Warriege, a
court reporter living at Chadron, had
tried last winter while at South Omaha, to
persuade to swear to some fact damaging
to Harris. She said that Harris said jok-
ingly that the next time he went to hang
a man he would punch out his own eyes
before he went away. Simonson swore
that Harris had said he would punch out
Scotts eyes.

PARTICULARS OF A BRUTAL CRIME
Sentence of Lawson Recalls the Cow.
ardIy and Unprovoked Murder.

Portland Or, June 22.-At Challis, Ida
no, June IA, Paul +. Lawson, a populst eX-
member of the Idaho legislature, was
found guilty of murder in the first degree,
for killing George w. Watson, near Hous-
ton, Custer county, and was sentenced by
District Judge G.. Q. Stockslager to be
hanged July 26th.
The murder of Watson by Lawson was
particularly atrocious. The evidence in
the trial showed that Lawson had lain
in walt for his victim, and shot him in
the back, May 18th, with shotgun loaded
with buckshot and slugs. The only mo-
tive for the crime was that Watson last
fall, in a fight with Lawson, had given
him "A severe thrashing. and as Lawson
had been posing as bad man" and
boss" of the settlement about Houston
he had concluded to get even" for the
loss of prestige entaied by the drubbing
administered to him. After the killing.
Lawson stood guard for several hours
over the body refusing to let anyone
come near IL. eXclaiming: ''This is my
meat, and nobody can touch 1t TIL / say
So" coupled with horrible obscenlties
Finally "A justice of the peace, friendly
to the murderer, with the aid of a few
friends, all of whom We're armed, held
what they called an Inquest behind locked
doors, returning a verdict of "justiflable
homicide" The residents of Houston and
vicinity had by this time become aroused
at the high handed proceedings, and they
delegated one of their number to proceed
TO Challis. the county seat and swear out
warrant for the assassin. Lawsons ar
rest, trial, conviction and sentence fol-
lowed.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON A WHALEBACK
Steam Valve Exploded Killing Two OF
the EmpiOYcs.

Chicago, June 23.-By the explosion
of a steam valve in the whaleback
steamer Christopher Columbus off Wau-
kegan Saturday night two men were
killed and 13 were dangerously or pain
fully injured.
The dead are: Frank Wilson, coal
passer; E. ]. Steit, fireman.
1t was the homeward run of the
whaleback in it's opening summer eX-
cursion to Milwaukee About $50 people
were aboard. Flying flags, with music
and dancing, was the order of the even
ing. Half a mile in the boats wake
plowed the rival excursion steamer
Virginia, which left the harbor some
minutes later and would have to steam
close to overtake her competitor. On
the outward trip the Virginia had not
only held the advantage, but had
doubled it, and the crew of the whale
back strained every nerve. The whale
back company officials were greatly
disturbed over the disaster, but denied
the story that the boat had been rae
ing.

LAST CHANCE MINE
There Is Talk of Starting Up the
Great Property Soon.
MINERS ARE FINDING WORK
The History of the Famous Litigation
Which Has Tied Up Producer
for Many Years.

Wardner, Idaho, June 23.-The gener-
al good feeling which has existed here
for the last four days over the opening
of the Bunker Hin and Sullivan mines
was augmented yesterday by the an
nouncement that II is quite probable
that the Last Chance mine will open
within month. 1t is stated upon re-
liable authority that in all probability
the Injunction placed upon the Last
Chance company in the famous case of
the Tyler Mining Company VS.. the Last
Chance Mining Company. will be raised
on the 2Sth instant, and that the Last
Chance people will Immediately put on
full force of men to work their val
liable property. The company will en-
ploy from so to 100 men in the mine and
10 or Is in the mill.
The Last Chance, before il got into
litigation with the Tyler company, was
one of Wardner's chief supports, and
that 1t intends to resume work is most
welcome news to business men and
miners. The fact that the Last Chance
company has no boarding house has
always been of benefit to Wardner, as
all the men either board themselves or
board with private individuals in Ward
ner, which means that the living ex-
penses of the miners are spent at home.
A FAMOUS LITIGATION.
The litigation which has kept the
Last Chance closed down is a part of
the history of Wardner. 1t is now
about six years since it commenced.
The case was first tried before the
United States district court, where the
Last Chance company won. The case
was appealed by the Tyler company to
the circuit court of appeals, which re-
versed the rulings of the lower court
and sent it back to the lower court foi
new trial At the second trial in the
district court the Tyler company was
successful. The Last Chance company
appealed to the circuit court of appeals
which affirmed the decision of the low
er court, and then the Last Chance
company took the case to the United
States supreme court, which reversed
the rulings of the lower courts and
sent the case back to the district court
for new trial. Should the controversy
between the two companies be settled
and both mines be worked as they were
at one time, it would be a boon fol

CARDINAL GIBBONS VISIT TO ROME
False Statement That American Bishops
Protest Against SatoIH.

Washington, June 23.-An eminent
Catholic ecclesiastic says of the recent
Rome cable to the London Standard,
that Cardinal Gibbons had presented to
the pope protest OF the American bishops
against the continuance of Monsgnor Sa-
toli's mission in the United States:
"The American bishops have made no
such protest, and the statement that Car
dinal Gibbons or any one else is its bearer
is an unqualified falsehood. Having an in
innate acquaintance with the purpose of
the cardinals visit to Rome, / can as
sure you it has no reference to any ques-
ton of really great Importance. He has
not been to Rome in 10 years, and the
present time was chosen as an opportun-
ity to make his decennial visit. Naturally
being with the pope for the first time in so
many years, the whole range of church af-
fairs in America will be gone over includ-
ing, no doubt, the success of the pope $
special delegate TO America. But this will
not be from the standpoint of any pro-
tests from American bishops. The time for
that has gone by Furthermore, Cardinal
Gibbons is known as one of the most
polite prelates In the American hierar-
chy and he Is the last one to be drawn
into a protest or other international dis
sensions. This would be more true in a
matter concerning Monsignor Satolli, who
has been shown to be very near the pope's 3
heart.

WAR CLOUD ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER
Clash of Authorities of Two States over
Sunday Fishing.

Portland, Or, June pa small but om-
nous war cloud appears to be rising over
the mouth of the Columbia river Feel
ing has always run high over the fishing
industry, and once an issue is fairly Joined
very little provocaton would result in
bloodshed. The trouble is the old ques-
ton of concurrent jurisdiction. Oregon
laws prohibit fishing Sundays. Wash
ington laws do not. Oregon officers claim
the right of arresting anyone fishing in
the river. whether on the Oregon or WASH
ington shore and last Sunday made sew
eral arrests. The courts at Astoria have
vigorously sustained the state game and
fish protector. This action has aroused
Washington fisherman, who profess a de.
termination to continue Sunday fishing
so long as permitted by the laws of their
state. They say they will continue to ply
their vocation, and the Oregon officers say
they shall not Governor McGraw has eX-
pressed a determination to protect all
citizens of Washington, and the grand
jury of Pacific county, of that state, has
already indicted Oregon's fish protector
and the sheriff of Clatsop county, who
made the arrests last Sunday. Trouble
is expected tomorrow, when the law win
again be strictly enforced.

Cereals of Excellent Quality. With

Yield OF Great Magnitude.
Walla Walla, June 22.-Adolph Mathiot
of the firm of Mathiot Bros, grain buyers
of this city, has returned from tour of
the country. He says that fall sown wheat
is in fine condition and the yield will be
equal to that of any average year. He
says there is no danger of any damage to
the fail wheat now The spring wheat
however, will be short crop and unless
there is more rain there will not be over
one-half a crop. Harvesting is expected
to begin from the 5th to Sth of July. The
best average yield of any section is ex-
pected upon Eureka Flat, where the grain
is mostly fail sown. The most prolific
yield is to be found on the hills ranging
between Milton, Or, and Dayton, Wash.
a distance of about 40 miles
The exports this year will be about
three-fourths that of last year. The ex-
ports for eastern Washington and eastern
Oregon last year amounted to 20O00, 900
bushels. This territory includes the coun-
try from Grande Ronde valley in Oregon
to and including the Spokane country
The average yield, combining the fan
and spring wheat, Will fall below that of
last year
The price paid for wheat today is 40
cents for club and 43 cents for blue stem
wheat. Mr.. Mathiot thinks there are not
over 25,000 bushels of old wheat In the val
ley. He estimates that so cents will be
paid for new wheat by the time harvest
is well under way.
