About That Bribery.
The Post-Intelligencer's investigation
of the case brought out the fact that the
architect and building superintendent
had received money from the contract
ors, but in each case it was in pay
ment for state warrants received by
these officers in compensation for their
labor Cameron & Ashenfelter were re-
ceiving per cent. premium on all
their state warrants and volunteered TO
sell the warrants received by archi-
tect, superintendent and other con-
tractors To the same parties in Spo-
kane for the same premium of per
cent. No larger premium than l per
cent could be obtained for these war
rants In Seattle. and 1t happened in the
course of events that Cameron g. Ash
enfelter were receiving all these war
rants and sending them to Spokane,
and afferward paying TO the parties
the face of the warrants with the 2
per cent. premium added. The commit
tee thought that. while this was very
trivial matter. a continuance of such ac-
ton would encourage criticism and con-
sequently filed their report as above.
Murray as M;sehisf Maker.
Upon inquiry II was aseertained that
Murray was responsible for all the
charges. written and oral, he having
induced the discharged employees TO
meet the committee and tell what they
were presumed to know. One OF these
men, who stated before the committee
that superintendent Johnson and Arch
itecf Saunders were receiving brides

fions. on investigation. proved TO be
merely the warrants passing through
their hands in the manner described,
was Thomas Guy. Guy had been en-

not say out that the stone. brick. lumber

Serious oral Charges
When the committee met TO investi-
gate the written charges fled by Muir
ray. coed many oral charges were
made By discharged employees OF a ma
fure rejecting on the integrity OF the
architect ard superintendent and 9TH
er employees Of the board Of regents.
Some CT these charges were treated
with the contempt they deserved, but
the charges made by Thomas Guy, who
was In the employ OF the contractors
as assistant book-keeper. were of SD
serious a nature that the committee
deemed an Investigation advisable. The
charges were exploded. and on October
u the committee filed the following re-
port with the regents:

Port on the written charges filed by b. W.
Murray concerning the construction of the
new university building. beg leave to sub
Nit the following report on some matters
that have been brought to their attention
craiy and which were not embraced in
the written charges.
We find upon investigation that the ar
chItect Of the building has sold or agreed
TO sell a warrant, issued by the state 60
him for his services. to- Messrs. Cameron
4 Ashenfelter. the contractors, the archi-
tect stating to US rnaf the contractors told
ham that they were getting per cent.
premium for their warrants and could get
the same for him IL he desired. We also
find that the architect has on two or three
occasions borrowed money in small sums
from the contractors. We also find that
the superintendent OF construction has
sold a warrant under the same circum-
stances to the contractors. We find no
evidence OF any collision between the
architect or superintendent and the con-
tractors and believe from the evidence
that has come before US that there has
been none, but at the same time we
strongly disapproye Of any money trans
actions between the employees OF the state
and the contractors. and we recommend
that both the architect and the superin-
tendent be censured By the board for such
transactions.
'.We further recommend that the board
admonish the architect and superintend-
ent to use the highest degree of vigilance
ton OF the building and the character of
the materials used, so that 1t viii be I'm
possible for a mistake like that made In

Battle Raging at Last Ac-
counts--Greatest Excite
ment.

GUTHRIE, Ok, April 17.-Couri-
go, the capital of the Chickasaw ma
tion, report that a battle is raging
between Governor Mosely and 200
insurrecHionists. Six people have
been killed and eight wounded, so
the report says, and the greatest ex-
cfItement prevails. The cause of the
trouble is due to bad political blood,
which has long pervaded the Chicka-
saw seat of government, and has ex-
listed since the legislature ignored
Willis Brown, Charles Brown and
Noah McGfll, who claimed to have
been duly elected sheriffs of the ma
tfon, alleging that the legislature
did not have authority to reject
their claims to such offices.
On Tuesday morning Governor
Mosely issued orders to all sheriffs,
consi.ables and deputies throughout
the nation to report to him at once
with arms. When the officers
gathered around the house, 200 en-
ragged men, headed by McGill and
the Brown brothers, rushed from ad-
Joining houses and q deadly riot
followed. The names Of the dead
and wounded could not be ascer-
tained by the couriers, owing to the
great excitement which prevailed.
Governor Mosely and his official re-
r1nue escaped by running to houses
ON the outskirts Of the town. Nose
ly has called a special session of the
legislature to take action White
people are fleeing. Another fight is
looked for any moment.

LOVERS FATAL JEALOUSY.
1t Results I'm Double Tragedy at
Cleveland.

!. CLEVELAND. o., April 17.-This
morning Alex Turk, a young man
twenty-three years of age, employed
at No. 1862 Erie street, called at the
residence of his sweetheart, Miss Julia
Fallon, who lived at No. 621 Lake
street, and fired three shots into her
body and then turned the weapon upon
himself. What the conversation was
which provoked the tragedy, is not
known. The murder and suicide were
both committed without witnesses.
Death came to each instantly The
two were heard to be in conversation
just prior to the firing of the shots.
Jealousy is supposed to be the cause
of the tragedy. In Turks pocket was
found an old envelope with the fol-
lowing words written on 1t: please
put both of us in one grave. She
told me that she did not care
Two bullets entered the girls breast,
one near the heart, and another in
the right groin. Either shot would
have proven fatal. The dead man had
been paying attention to Miss Fallon
for nearly a year, and was known to
be insanely jealous of her. The girl
was very pretty, with black hair and
blue eyes. Turk, who was a collector
for a furniture house, is said to have
been not very bright.

casus region. The Georgians eer-.
tainly would resent any further in--
crease in the Armenian population.
The business methods of the Ar
menians are not highly approved of
by the Georgians and Russians. 1t
is, therefore, believed unlikely that
Russia wants the Armenians; hut
ish territory which the Armenians
inhabit is quite another matter. For.
the most part, the average Armenian
is anxious to have some other man
fight his battles, and he is willing to
believe that England and Russia
are only waiting for a chance to
come in and dismember the Turkish
empire. -.
The Armenian newspapers in Rus
sia and Persia contain no hint, how
ever remote, of their preparations,
but contain only denunciations of
Turkish tyranny and demands for
the enforcement of the sixty-first
article of the Berlin treaty. The
lower classes are less discreet. In
Tifiis, especially, they fill themselves
up with vodka and go about the
streets clamoring for an Armenian
king. AS the time for the revoiu-
tionary uprising approaches, the
words of the Armenian patriot,
Mgr. Khriminan, have an added sig
nificance:
Armenia is in sore distress; but
her sufferings will soon be at an
end"

British Office Receives COnfirma-
tion of Peace Conclusions.
LONDON, April 17-An official dis
patch has been received at the for
eign Office her announcing the con-
.clusion of peace between China and
Japan.
The secretary of state for foreign
affairs. the Earl of Kimberly. re.
turned to town unexpectedly today,
and informed the press representa-
tives that the terms of the treaty
of peace included matters relating to
commercial concessions. The exact
nature of the latter was not known
to him, but generally speaking, the
terms were correctly stated in the dis
patch to the Associated Press from
Tien Tsin last night.
The dispatch referred to by the Earl
of Kimberly was the dispatch sent
out exclusively by the Associated Press
last night, announcing that the inn
perial edict has been issued, author
izing Ii Hung Chang, the Chinese
peace commissioner, to sign the terms
of peace in accordance with the ia
panese ultimatum. Accordingly the
indemnity to be paid by China is
200,000,000 taels, the Japanese are to
have possession of the Lao Tung pen,
insula to the fortieth degree of lati-
tude; and are also to possess the
island of Formosa. In addition, Pekin
and four new ports of China are to be
opened to commerce and the Japan,
csc are to have the power to open
cotton factories and other industries
in China. The decree also provides
that the import dues at the open
ports are not to exceed 2 per cent.

EDITOR MCCLURE BOLTS.
He Charges n Court With Bribery
and COrruDtiOn

He Charges n Court With Bribery
and Corruption.
philadelphia, Pa, April IA
sensation was created in Common
Pleas Court No, 8 today, when Col A.
K. Mcclure, editor of the Times, arose
and, addressing Judge Gordon, charged
that he was not being treated fairly
by the court and also that his wit
nesses were being bribed. He then re-
quested his counsel to withdraw from
the cases Judge Gordon denied that
the court was showing any favors, and
directed the case to proceed. The
cause of the trouble was a suit for
libel brought by eX-Mayor William B.
Smith, of this city, against the Times.
The alleged libel consisted in two ar
ticles published on Oct. 2 and 8, 1892, in
which it was charged that Mr. Smith
owed large sums of money, had given
bogus checks and fled from the city
When Col. Mcclure and counsel had
retired from the court room counsel
for the eX-mayor called the latter to
the stand. Mr.. Smith denied all the
testimony given by the defense since
the proceedings began. Counsel then
called a number of witnesses, who cor
roborated the evidence of the ex-
mayor. This closed the testimony, and
after Smiths attorney had delivered d
short address to the jury Judge Cor
don charged them. The jury returned
verdict of $4,000 in favor of Mf.
Smith, after being out but ten minutes.

INCOME TAX BUNGLE.
REPORTS Received Show Every
Conceivable Kind of BIunder

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE inter-
nal revenue officials positively decline
to make public any statement in regard
TO income tax returns, or to answer
any question relating thereto. II is
learned that the real cause of this reti-
cence Is the great number of blunders
made by the collectors in their tele-
graph reports received yesterday and
today. Some of them contained only
the number of returns received last
Monday, while others included all that
had been received from the beginning
OF them, including in their figures ALI
returns, including those below the 81.
exemption, while others excluded re-
turns on which no tax is payable. Who
is blamable for this state of things is
not stated. but the result is that from
what has been received no intelligent
statement can be given of the number
or amount of the returns filed with
the collectors. 1t Is undoubtedly true
that a large percentage of the number
or persons subject to the law have made
no returns at all, and in consequence
the officials see ahead of them a. vast
amount of litigation and trouble.

CAN'T SHUT OUT POSTAL.
Important Decision Regarding
Rights of Telegraph COmpa-


!. CHICAGO, April 17.-William Booth,
master of the federal court, to whom
was referred a case brought by the
city involving the use of the streets
by the Postal Telegraph company, has
decided in favor of the latter. The re-
suits of the. decision, if sustained by
the higher courts, are far-reaching.
The master, in giving his conclusions,
argues substantially as follows: 1.-The
law may be said to be Well established
that since congress has acted upon the
subject of telegraph companies by an
act of July "a, 1866, any interstate tele-
graph company which has duly COM
piled with the requirements of said
act has the absolute right to construct
maintain and operate lines of tele-
graph over and along any of the mill
tary or post roads of the United States,
and no state, or subdivision of a
state, has any right to obstruct or
hinder it in so constructing, maintain
ing and operating it's lines.
While the city might, perhaps, un-
der its police power and for the pur-
pose of protecting its streets, require
the complainant to give bond, as re-
quired in the amended ordinance of
Dec. 9, 1885, yet the giving of such a
bond could not be made condition
precedent to the right to do business.
Corporate authorities may subject such
a company to reasonable police regu-
lations, e. g., they may require lines
to be placed under ground when the
public good requires it or regulate the
height of poles, etc., but they cannot,
under the guise or pretense of police
regulations, impose unreasonable con-
ditions, or exact prohibitive tax An
interstate telegraph company has the
right to have such matters investigated
by the courts as to their reasonable
ness or otherwise"
