The finding Of an Indictment against
Holmes, the Philadelphia murderer. Is the
first step in what promises to be one Of
the most sensational criminal trials in
the history of the City Of Brotherly Love.
The charge on which Holmes will be
tried-the murder of B. F. Pitezel-appears
from the newspaper reports, to be one of
the weakest cases the detectives have
worked up AGAINST him.

Frenchman in his employ, says the Au-

some distance when the lumberman saw
the body of a deer almost hidden by the
intervening bushes and leaves. He risk
ed shot, and the bullet crashed through
a slender poplar and hit the deer. The
animal dashed off through the BUSH snort
ing with pain, and the lumberman called
out to the Frenchman to shoot, and the
obedient man blazed away until the mag
azine of his rifle was empty. Then the
two men followed on after the deer, and
came upon it some time later. The lum-

spot.
When they returned home the lumber

But neither of them resigned. Joseph Pu-

whv for WhitneNf

The announcement of ex-Speaker Crisp
on his return from Europe that he favors
ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney for the
presidential nomination of the Democr at
ic party is very naturally exciting great
deal of comment. There is a desire to
know Mr.. Crisp's reasons for favorins
Mr.. Whitney.
Just before he left for Europe he an
nounced that he adhered to the 16 TO l
idea. Is he still in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 10 to /? If so, on what grounds
does he place his preference for Mr.. Whit
ney who is a sound money man?
He does not, of course, believe that MT.
Whitney would accept the nomination on
free silver platform, nor would 1T be
wise to nominate a sound money man on
a free silver platform or free silverite
on a sound money platform. The folly of
doing anything of that kind is being shown
in the Kentucky campaign, where demo-
cratic harmony has been destroyed praeti-
cally by the nomination OF man who
favors the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver at the ratio of 16 to / on platform
that is squarely in favor of sound money.
1t seems difficult to arrive at any other
conclusion, therefore, than that Mr..
Crisp has become satisfied that the sill
yer craze is dying out, and that the next
national democratic convention will adopt
a sound money platform.
No doubt Mr. Crisp viii take an early
opportunity to say whether his views on
the silver question have undergone a
change, and if they have not how he
reconciles his position in respect to sill
yer with his declaration in favor of MIR.

would be glad to have Quay manage his
campaign for him. though he says he does

One reason why they don't IS probably
because they DO not desire him. And
that reason is sufficient without seeking

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The new
cruiser Olympia went to San Francisco

will be driven at various speeds and

In this respect she is similar to the
flagship Philadelphia, and it is not
thought that her propensity to roll
weights, as it is not desirable to have
a war ship too stiff at sea, stiff vessels
having a tendency to jerk themselves
to pieces.
From an official report received yes

two of her six boilers with Ave
eighths of an inch air pressure;
and returned the same distance
on two boilers with natural draft
at a twelve-knots gait. Forced draft
is ~ inches air pressure, and it is be-
lieved that with this pressure and all
her boilers the Olympia will make
over twenty-five knots. as it was, on
two-thirds boiler power and very
slight pressure, she maintained over

The Olympia leaves for China to re-

THE DEATH OF DA CANA
Described by Ono Of the Braziiian Rebels
Who Escaped Capture.


Described by One Of the Brazilian Rebels
Who Escaped Capture.
New YORK. June 29.-The Herald's
special cable from Buenos Ayres says:
One of the rebels who escaped cap
ture by the government troops after
the insurgent defeat near Santa Ana,
Rio Grande do Sui, Brazil. gives the
details of the last battle, in which Adj
miral Da Cana took part, and of his
suicide
The admiral, at the head of force
of 400 soldiers, was engaged by bril-
gade of government soldiers number
ing 1000. The battle lasted five hours,
and at least 800 men were killed or
wounded. Some of the insurgents adj
vised Da Cana to retreat, but he re-
fused, and they abandoned him. With
a handful of men the admiral repulsed
five charges of the government cavalry,
but the struggle was hopeless, and see
ing that all was lost Da Cana ordered
q retreat and then cut his own throat.
The informant says that Da Gama's
body was taken to Santa Ana by the
government troops and there horribly
mutilated. He also asserts that the
threats of many of the captured rebels
were cut by the victorious soldiers. A
requiem mass for the admiral will be
celebrated in Montevideo, Uruguay,
under the auspices of the Brazilian
exiles there.
Several insurgents have been cap
tured by the Brazilian guards who are
patrolling the Uruguayan frontier.
The rebels say that the last defeat
has not disheartened them, and de-
clare that they will continue the
struggle.

Indian reservation around Leach lake.
At the time there arose a question as
to the number of feet that had been
cut, the governments agents claiming
