NUMBER 20.
DECLARE HE Is SANE.

The Verdict of tho Jury in the Case of Duestrow the Murderer of Wife and Child In St. Louis-He Must Now stand Trial for His Life, Like Any Ordinary Man-His Dollars Could Not Prove Him Paranoiac.
 UNION, Mo-, May 12.-The jury in the Duestrow mental inquiry returned a verdict ofsanity at s:3O OSaturdaymorn- ing.
 The verdict was not reached until 7:30. Foreman Chaser says the jury had some little differences regarding testimony, and after two hours discuss sion last night decided to retire. At 7:30 a ballot was taken and the twelve jurymen were in favor of declaring Duestrow sane.
 Duestrow was very nervous when he entered the courtroom at s:f5. When the verdict was read he heaved sigh and remarked:
 "I am glad this monkey business is over"
 Gov. Johnson and Doctors Bremen and Bauduy are of the opinion thae Dnestrow will not live to go through the murder trial. Gov. Johnson. though expecting verdict of sanity, was greatly worried.
 That jury had it's verdict last week. said he; ''the result of popular prejudice.
 One of the experts for the defense says that the loss of this case is due to Gov. Johnson not needing his experts advice. Dr. Bremen said he had diag- nesed the case as subacute hallucina- tory paranoia, and the state was prov ing primary chronic paranoia. The fact remains, however, that Doctors simon, Chaddock and the Bauduys swore to the chronic form, hence row among the experts is expected.
 Asked if paranoia had not been torn asunder, Gov. Johnson said:
 "Oh, I don't care about paranoia. My client is crazy"
 Judge Hirzel set the murder case for trial July 26 at Union.
 Gov. Johnson is nettled at the loss of his case, but says that Duestrow will never hang. Insanity will be pleaded as an excuse for the horrible slaughter of wife and child, and it will take a month to try it. Johnson says he fears that his client will kill himself, and wants a special watch upon him.

CONFEDERATE DEAD.

Monument in Honor of Soldiers Of the Confederate Army Who Died While Prisoners of War in Camp Douglas, Chi- cago, to be Dedicated May 30. in Oak woods Cemetery-Som Of the Noted Gonfederates Who VIII Participate in the Ceremonles.
 CmcAGo, May 13.-In the southern end of Oakwoods cemetery IS an el- liptieal plot of ground which contains about three acres, and is made beauti- ful by a profusion of maple trees. This patch of earth is one of the most historic in Chicago, for it covers the bones of G,O00 confederate private sol. diers who died while in confinement at Camp Douglas between 1862 and 1865. The mortality at Camp Douglas was large. The men detained there had spent their lives in the balmy climate of the south, and the rigor of the northern winters did deadly work among them.
 Gen. John C. Underwood, southern officer in command of the northern di- visions of the United Confederate Vet erans, was delegated to raise funds for the erection of a monument. The fund started with sl, 300 derived from d lee ture given in Chicago by Gen. Gordon, of Georgia. Citizens of Chicago also subscribed Sl0,000
 It took three years to build the mon- ument. IL now stands forty feet from the ground to the top of the figure which surmounts it. The pedestal is of pearl granite from quarries at Con s6tution hill, near Atlanta This gran ite is of very close grain. and is sus- ceptible of a brilliant polish The monument was erected in July, 1893. Its lower base is l5 feet inches square and upon it are laid three other bases. On the front of one of them, cut in raised and polished letters of bold outlines, are the words: Confederate Dead" The upper base is adorned with a series of rich holdings and on the front of this stone is placed an enlarged model oi the confederate seal, worked in bronze representing in relief mounted sol dier Gen. Washington, inelosed within wreath, wrought by entwining the foliage of products of the south
 The die of the monument made ol one massive stone, the dimensions be ing feet inch square by 9 feet fC inches high, and has re-enterIng angles which are filled with groups of cluster columns terminating in richly-carvet Remanesque caps. Upon the north face is worked in incised letters upon polished panel this inscription:

 SAN FRANCISCO, May The stea}ne,. City of Peisin arrived ycster- day morning from the orient bringing Yokohama dates to April %. The United Press cores spondent says:
 Japan is criticised because she did not square beforehand. She must have known, 1t is alleged that her cx- pausieu would clash with Russian in- terestS; that if the great bears paw was not to be extended, he mast have a morse to keep him quiet. Certainly Japan did know that. sne knew that GernaHy's friendship was of too selfish character to stand any strain Germany has never done anything for Japan without be- ing paid. The history of her relations with the new oriental power has been series of hard bargains. It was al- ways plain to be seen that 1T stronger Inducements were offered she would at any moment abandon an amie4Lie attitude. As for France, her role in the orient has been invariably dicta- torial rather than coneilatory. The position she now takes is perfectly consistent with her precedent Yet Japan did not attempt to plaeate these powers by previous arrangements. Sue learned the usclcssness of such at- tempts. To satisfy one power is to give umbrage to another.
 For q time it was industriouslv rHmered that secret understand ing existed between her and Russia. Ihereupon British suspicious were aroused and the English press clam. ored
 'fhe area of territories ceded by China to Japan, namely: Liao Tung peninsula, Formosa and Pcseaaores. i, Sdsa56 square miles. of which IG.f0t tqHafe miles represent Liao Tana peninsula. Speaking approximately Japan increases her dominion by 7. per cent, and her whole area become. greater than that of the United Kingdom, Great Britain. Scotland and Ireland, and nearly equal to the combined area of France and spain. With regard te population, no accurate statistics arc yet available, hut it may be assumed that Fermosa has population of 3. oo9, eo0, Peseadores population of t.. 0oo and Liao Tung peninsula popHIa. tinn of 4,500 000 Thus the totaI papu lation of the Japanese empire become. 4s, 000,69o, which is greater than tht population of France and Germany
 'fhe customs receipts of F5rnosa are over 2.e0Q,OQ9 yen, and those at Ningkow, New Ghwang, about 1,ooo,- 009.

The End Has- Cnne.


 LITTLE Rock, ARK May IA The great revival is ended Itwent out in flame of glory Sunday night after a lengthy, rock-ribbed and penetrating sermon by Mr Jones. No one will ever know how many people heard tue sermon, as no one can tell how many people it is possible to pack into and around the tabernacle Ten thousand is probably conservative estimate of the number who reached the taber- nacle; probably 5000 of these gained admission, while l,0ao more stood around on the outside of the building, and the other I,o0U went back home unable to secure a seat or find standing room No such crowd has ever been seen here.

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
Decided Against the Frisco.


 Can a railroad company, in contest, ing the reasonableness of rate cstab- hshed by the legislature, or by a pub lie 0o ' charged with the duty of pre- scribiug tariffs for the roads, set up the claim that the rate is unreasonable and nDpreiitable as to part of a line, and therefore should not stand as to such part?
 The question came up iu the suit Of Gtll ys. 9t- Louis san Francisco Railway Go. By an act Of the legislature of ArkausdS. approved April II, 1887 the maximum rate of passenger fares winch the carriers in tnis state Hi isht chaFge was fixed at three cents per mile. aud penalty of S500 was prescribed Tor each oYercharge payable to the pas sFhger from whom such overcharge haa been eXacted. In 1887, at the fall term ol the Washington county circuit court John D. bt4I brought an action against the St. Louis ana San Francisco Railway Go. alleging that sai4 company, operatinga d railroad within the siate or Arkansas more than = mile in length. had on i've distinct occasions charged and re- celFed from the plaintiff more than three cents per Ml4e. and demanding Judgment for the pen aitles prescribed in the statute Similar suits against the company were also brought by other parties The suits resulted in favor of the eomnlalnantss and an appeal was talsen t1 the suDrene court ot Arkansas, where the judgment Of the trial court was affirmed A writ Of error was then sued out in the United States supreme court which has now also found for the paiatIf
 The decision is that where the legislature es- tabllehed q passenger rate Of so much Der mile and prescribes penalties for a charge iH excess thereof, to be recovered of the carrier by the passenger excessively charged the question of unreasonablenesS of the rate St hXed may be raised in an action for such pen. atty But the reasCnableuess must be deter mined By che effect of the rate on the net earn inGs of the company for its entire line withfr the state, and not by its effect upon any suB division, even though 1t was once separat, road

 T believe in the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of Ii to l. without waiting for the acton of other nations. The American people loatne deception and despise treaeherY. The people now know that they were deceived and robbed by the characterization of silver in ls53. under the form of law. They can see a sHsH board at every home, with the index finger pointing te this crime as the cause Of their dis tress and as the cause Of the destruction of the prices Of their property and the products of their labor. The are smartiug under this out rage. They are mad and have determined that this wrong shall be righted, and they are ro- ing q 1t in dead earnest They are gong to demand of the party leaders al plain uuInis- takable declaratIon and it's faIthfuI execu- ton.
