Prisoner Is Discharged.
LOUISVILLE. May 1I.-After argu-
ments were completed in the case Of
Gordon for the murder Of his wife and
Archie Brown Judge Thompson an.
nounced he could not hold the prisoner
and that he would discharge him as an
object lesson to other adulterers. Never
was a crowd more demonstrative in its
appreciation than was the immense
thrOng in the police court when Judge
Thompson announced the verdict in the
case. Cheer after cheer went up aud
hand after hand was thuTst out TO the
judge to show how much his verdict
was appreciated. In explanation the
judge said there was no evidence Of
guilt on GOrdOn's part. but that the
adulterer and adulteress stood on the
verge of an abyss Of ruin and death and
that their fate was only what could be
expected. Thus ends the last chapter to
the most sensational tragedy ia the his
tory of Kentucky.

British Government Positively Refuses to
Resnaot the Sealing Regulations.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-An ugly
crisis has been reached in the negotia-
tions between the United States and
Great Britain looking to the adoption Of
uniform relations for the government Of
the seal fishery this season. The British
government positively refuses to re-
enact the regulations of last year, which
prohibited the carrying Of fire arms by
sealing vessels through the zone north
of the Goth parallel during the closed
season. The United States officials look
upon this as disastrous to the seal fish
cries, holding that the result will be to
relieve the pelagic sealers of the only
restriction which has operated to pre-
vent an unlimited slaughter of the
herds. While killing by fire arms re-
mains illegal, it is realized it will be i'm.
possible to enforce this prohibition if
arms can be freely carried FOR the seal
eFs would kill secretly unless they
should happen to be under the very eye
Of a revenue cutter.

Western Metalllferous Miners Conve

Western MetaIliferous Miners Convention.
DENVER, May 14.-The annual con.
vention Of the Federation of Western
Metalliferous Miners has begun in this
city. The federation represents a mem
bership of about O,000 miners, and, it
is thought, there will be 100 delegates
present at the sessions this week. The
delegates will come principally from
Colorado, Idaho, Montana and South
Dakota. Probably the most important
subject that will come before the con.
vention will be that of affliating with
the American Federation Of Labor and
with the coal miners. By uniting with
the western coal miners the membership
would be increased largely beyond what
it now is. President John Mcbride Of
the American Federation Of Labor is ex-
pected to be in the city and urge aftilia-
ton with the federation. Ed Boyse Of
Occur d Alene, a member of the state
senate of Idaho, is present as adelegate.
