FOR THE TRIAL OF DR.. JAMESON
English Officials Making Preparations
for Novel Prosecution.

English Officials Making Preparations
for Novel Prosecution.
New York. Jan. PA dispatch from
London says:
Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secre-
tary of state for the colonial depart
ment, has for the past week had al
most daily conferences with Attorney
General Webster and Solicitor General
Finlay, concerning the legal nature of
the proceedings that will be taken up
on the arrival of DIR. Jameson and his
followers, who have been sent from the
Transvaal under arms. 1t can be stat
ed that the government has about de-
cided to first appoint a commission of
inquiry for tn . purpose of determining
whether there is sufficient evidence pro-
durable to make it probable that jury
would return a verdict of guilty. This
commission will conduct it's inquiry in
this country, but will either summon
witnesses from South Africa or send a
subcommittee to collect evidence on
the spot.
In the event of the commission decid-
ing that the accused should be placed
upon trial, Jameson and his associates
will be arraigned in the dock of the Old
Bailey, on an indictment under the for
eign enlistment act of 1870, section IL,
which makes it misdemeanor to pre-
pare or fit out any naval or military ex-
petition to proceed against the domin-
ions of a friendly state. The penalty
upon conviction is fine not exceeding
$4,000 and imprisonment at hard labor
for term not exceeding two years.
The attorney general will be counsel
for the crown, while Jameson's friends
have thus far in advance paid out $685.
600 as retaining fees to eminent counsel
including two ex-attorney generals and
one solicitor general. In order to Sc
cure conviction the crown will be COM
PEELED to prove that Jameson prepared
and fitted out a military expedition
against the South African republic. The
defense will probably be that DR.. jam
eson, having command of bona fide mil
itary forces, had, in the full and suffici-
ent belief that women and children
were in danger of their lives from dis
order in a friendly state, broken into
that state for the purpose of preventing
such loss of life.
The trial will be the first of it's kind
in the history of the English courts,
and promises to be memorable.

Olympia, Wash, Jan. 27.-The SUI
preme court reversed judgment in the
case of Frank Cannon, respondent, VS..
the board of examiners of Whitman
county.
The court affirmed judgment in the
case Of Albert John Roth, respondent,
against the Union Depot Company of
Spokane, which was a suit for damages
for injuries received by young Roth
from a freight car which was sent down
a grade unattended and ran over the
boys legs, Gripping him for life. The
supreme court holds that although he
may have been trespasser at the time
of the accident, the case indicates gross
negligence, and while the company
claims the amount of damages to be ex-
cessive, the court is not willing to say
that the amount awarded, $4,000, will
more than recompense the boy for life

Supreme Court of Idaho Makes
Decision Affecting Property.
THE CASE FROM LA1AH COUNTY
Only SIX Months 70 Redeem on Fore
closures Made Prior TO the
Latest Laws.

Boise, Jan. pa case of general in
terest throughout the state was decid-
ed by the supreme court today The
last legislature amended the law in re-
lation to mortgages so as to give one
year instead of six months in which to
redeem property sold under foreclos-
ure The court holds that this can not
apply to mortgages executed prior to
the date of the amendatory act.
The case was that of A. j. Wilder VS..
Frank Campbell, sheriff of Latah coun-
ty. A mortgage given by Oscar Schu-
man and wife on April %, 1898, to the
Vermont Loan and Trust Company for
$500 was foreclosed March 2S, 1895. A
certificate of sale was assigned to Will
der, and at the end of six months he
demanded a sheriff's deed and posses
sion of the property. This was denied,
on the ground that the time for redemp-
ton had been extended. The suit fol-
lowed, and the lower court held against
the sheriff, which judgment is affirmed.

STRUCK DURING A HEAVY FOG
All the Passengers and Baggage Taken
Off--A possib lily That She May
BE Floated.

Long Branch, N. j.. Jan. 25.-In a
heavy fog, with the wind in the north
east and the surf running far up the
beach, few minutes after 1 o'clock
this morning the new American line
steamship st. Paul, bound in, went
ashore in front of the Grand View
house All of her 700 passengers were
today transferred to land. At no time
were the passengers In danger. Siren
uous efforts are being made to pull the
st. Paul from her dangerous position.
She is in 20 feet of water, just on the
outside edge of the breakers, about 800
feet from the shore, with her head
pointing at an acute angle west and to-
wards the shore.
1t has been a day of excitement for
the people of Long Branch and vicinity.
Never before in the history of the town
has there been such an influx of excur-
sionists in midwinter as there was to-
day. North and south bound trains de-
posted crowds of curiosity-mongers at
the Long Branch and East Long
Branch depots. The farmers for miles
around, with their wives and families,
came.
All the passengers were taken off the
steamer before 4:3O. No attempt was
made to haul the st. Paul off up to IL
o'clock tonight, but the wrecking COM
pany will probably make an effort at
high tide between 3 and in the MORN
ing. Captains West and Mulligan said
this evening that everything was quiet
and orderly on board and that Captain
Jameson blamed the man who was
u 70 he oh ha ole ife1a
the man called out II fathoms immedia-
ately before the ship grounded.
At midnight the vessel was lying prac-
tically parallel to the beach with her
bow headed south.
Messrs. Chapman and Merritt, repre-
senting the wrecking companies, are on
board the st. Paul, comforting as to the
expense and probabilities of getting her
off, and late tonight Captain Wardwell
of the West End life-saving station
said he was pretty sure the steamer
would remain in her present position
for many days to come.
LAS long as the wind is off Shore"
said he, "she Is all right, but if a gale
strikes her in the opposite direction 1
have great fears that she will succumb
to its influence, like other iron ships"
Long Branch, N. j., Jan. 26.-President
c. A. Crimson and all other represen-
tatives of the International Naviga-
ton Company. popularity known as the
American line, have taken a decidedly
more hopeful view of the situation of
the st. Paul, the stranded steamer.
They place great reliance on the Mer-
rit & Chapman Wrecking Company,
who have charge of the pulling off of
the big steamer. and they hope to have
the st. Paul at her berth at the foot of
Vesey street, New York, before the end
of this week.

STORY OF BRUTALITY AND MURDER
Niese the Elder Was Man OF Remark.
alb Y Bad Antecedents.

alb Bad Ante cedents.
Adolph Niese and wife were tried and
convicted of numbering a 7-year-old boy.
The evidence proved that they had
beaten the boy so brutally that he died.
The parents explained the cause of his
death as the result of injuries by falling
over bank on the Columbia river near
Kettle Falls. An older son of the Neses,
Harry, who was the chief witness for
the prosecution at the trial, was obliged
to leave home on account of the brutali-
ty of his father and aunt-stepmother
while a daughter, Minnie, also very
young, left home and was taken in
charge by the sisters at the mission
school near Colville. She was the main
stay of the defense, but had told the
neighbors that her parents abused her.
Niese came to Kettle Falls about a
year ago from Chicago, where he had
married his present WIFE, He had just
been acquitted of the murder of her
sister (and the mother of the three chill
dren) by jury at Ottumwa, Iowa, and
the people of the town were so incensed
at the verdict that the sheriff had to
spirit Niese out of town to save him
from mob violence He went to Chicago,
where the sister of his murdered wife
| followed, and three months later they
were married.
Harry, the eldest son Of Adolph Niese,
says he was an eyewitness of the muir
der Of his mother in Ottumwa. Accord
ing to the lads tale, Niese stabbed the
unfortunate woman with a sharp knife,
saturated the bed upon which she lay
with kerosene, lighted piece of paper
and threw it upon the bed, and then
left the house to burn up the evidences
of his crime.
Niese was a man of violent tempera-
ment and all through the trial just end
ed at Colville could scarcely contain
! himself when the attorneys for the
prosecution made inquiry as to his ante
cedents and the affair at Ottumwa.

Mr.. and Mrs. Niese Had Sworn
Not to Go to Pr son.
HUSBAND WAS SUCCESSFUL
Jailer at Co1viIle Found the Unhappy
Couple Locked in Each
Others Arms.

Colville, Wash. Jan. 2S.-Judge Ar
thur overruled the motion for a new
trial today in the case of Adolph Niese
and wife. Hattie, and sentenced them to
20 years at hard labor in the peniten-
tiary, the extreme penalty.
At 2 p. m. Jailer Albert Dingle, who
was in the corridor of the Jail, heard
an unusual noise Issuing from the cell
occupied by the unfortunate couple and
Immediately investigated it. He found
both prisoners lying side by side, the
woman's right arm locked in the left
arm of her husband, and struggling in
paroxysms of agony. The sheriff was
hurriedly summoned and he in turn got
DR.. Peck to come.
1t was found that Niese had cut deep
wound in the right side of his neck, sew
ering all the arteries and the veins in
the throat and he died an hour later.
The neck of Mrs. Niese exhibited a deep
cut on the left side, but no vital arteries
were severed. She had suffered much
loss of blood. The physician dressed
the wounds and thinks she has a slight
chance for recovery.
The sheriff made a thorough search Of
the cells and prisoners as soon as he
lcbulhSu " the jail alter the prisoners
were sentenced, but found no weapons
on them.
They had previously said they would
never serve day in prison and their de-
liberate intention of self destruction was
amply evidenced by the large cores
pondence completed before the perpe-
tration of the terrible deed.
A fragment of broken razor found
on the bed disclosed the savage method
of assault. Niese broke a razor several
days ago and had evidently secreted the
improvised instrument of destruction
in his clothing.
Several notes were handed to the 9TH
er prisoners to be given to attorneys and
acquaintance. Two letters were found
addressed to Judge Arthur. Another
letter was written to their daughter
Minnie, now at the Colville Mission
school, which requested her not to allow
her brother Harry to tread On their
graves.
The deed was done so noiselessly the
prisoners in the adjoining cell three
feet away knew nothing of it, Neither
Niese nor his wife could speak at first,
but after the husband had died the wo-
man managed to articulate, IT want to
die; can't die"

JUSTICE PEcKHAM's FIRST DECISION
Condemnation Act of Congress Legal As
Regards Getty sturg Park.

Washington, Jan. 27.--Justice Peck
ham, the new member of the supreme
court, delivered his first opinion today
in the case involving the right of the
government to condemn the real estate
of the Gettysburg Electric Railway
Company, as part of the national park,
located upon the Gettysburg battle
ground. The court below decided that
the act of congress which authorized
the establishment of the park, as far as
it applied to condemnation of private
property. was unconstitutional. JUS
tice Peckham's decision reversed this
ruling, sustaining the condemnation
proceedings. The case is important as
it extends considerable authority to the
general government in condemnation
proceedings.
The governments motion to advance
the case Of Race Horse, the Bannock
Indian, involving the right Of those In
dams to hunt in Wyoming, was granted
by the United States supreme court
today and the case set for the first
Monday in March.
Argument in the California irriga-
ton cases was continued, Joseph Choate
being the first to be heard. The court
announced an adjournment next week
to the first Monday in March. 1t is
customary to adjourn the first Monday
in February for month, but the date
will be postponed this year on account
Of extensions of time granted in sew
eral cases before the court, and the re-
cess will not begin before Tuesday or
Wednesday.
The arguments in the Stanford case
will begin in the supreme court tomor-
row. the attorney general appearing
for the government and ]. H. Choate

growth of the latest semi-military

of Ireland are made by the New York

that British consuls throughout the

at frequent intervals all information
that may be obtainable regarding the
status and development of the alli-
ance.

A SENSATIONAL SHOOTING ARRAY
Proprietor of Hot springs Hotel and a
Guest the Principals.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. Pa highly
sensational shooting affray occurred in
the fashionable Arlington hotel at Hot
Springs Friday afternoon, the details
of which have hitherto been carefully
suppressed.
The circumstances attending the af-
fair as related by eye witnesses are to
the effect that Colonel S. II. Stitt, one Of
the proprietors Of the Arlington, and
Colonel Abner L. Gaines, a guest, be-
came involved in a dispute, when both
drew their revolvers.
The hotel detective took a hand at
this juncture and promiscuous firing en-
sued, in which Abner Gaines was
wounded below the knee. Gaines resides
in London and is wealthy He makes
regular visits to Hot Springs in con-
nection with his interests in the valua-
BILE Gaines estate.
