Leonard, of Johannesburg, the reform committee leaders, on payment of fines amounting to $125,000 was announced Barney Bernato went to jail with a check for $250,OO0 to pay the fines of Hammond and Rhodes. He found, however, that the matter had already been arranged. Hammond, Farrar and Phillips have signed an agreement to abstain here after from interfering in politics in the South African republic, consequently the sentence of banishment imposed upon them has been suspended.

CHANDLER WINS A SUIT He May Carry the Tempe
 Canal Water. Slight Construction Damages
 Are Assessed.
How the ConsolIdats Canal Will Secure Both Power and
 Water.

Yesterday in the district court was decided a case that, in one shape or another, has been upon the civil reg ister of actions for years. 1t is that of the Consolidated Canal company of Mesa against the Tempe Canal com pany. The case was argued by Judge Pope of Los Angeles for the plaintiff, and by Judge Kibbey for the defense and went to the jury late in the fore noon. After an absence of six hours verdict was returned for plain tiff awarding right of way into the Tempe canal for five or six thousand maners' inches of water and fixing the damages at $10 for the appropriation of the small piece of land crossed on the Tempe right of way and for S1,75O constructive damages for the cutting of the ditch banks and such other ex- pense as might be necessary for the Tempe to incur. This is all the Con- solidated people had practically asked for.
 The case is one in which there has been the deepest feeling and the re- marks of the Tempe canal stockholdrs when the verdict was announced would not be fit for publication.
 The Consolidated canal, in behalf of which its superintendent, A. J. Chand- Ter brings suit, has established at the brink of the mesa or tableland over looking the Tempe canal about a mile from the headgate of the Tempe canal and the river, a power house for fur nishing about 600 horse power, to be transmitted through dynamos already in position. It was proposed to secure the power by the use of 5000 inches of the waters due the Tempe canal, which run all the way from 1000 in the dry season to 15,000 in the winter. The Tempe interests opposed for a large number of reasons, among them being that substantial injury would be done their canal by the reception of their water at the point specified, that all their water or none should be carried, that a bond in large proportions should be exacted of Chandler for the proper carriage of the water and that their water, while in the Consolidated canal should be under the charge of the Tempe water tender. It was fur ther claimed that the diversion of the

MONTANA MINERS RESCUED.
Taken From Death Trap in Nick of
 Time.

HELENA, Mont, June 12.-News has just been received here of seri- ous cave-in which occurred at the Eu- reka mine at Rimini, small mining camp away up in the mountains, in which two miners, Bob Rollins and Miles McGinnis, were shut up in the earth 400 feet from the surface for twelve hours. The cave occurred in a drift in the 400-foot level, 300 feet east of the main shaft. About 125 tons of rock fell sixty feet from where the men were at work. A great quantity of water was flowing in and the cave shut it off from the pumps, so that the miners were entombed in what was supposed to be watery grave. It took fifty men twelve hours of hard work to rescue the entombed miners, who, when reached, were in three feet of water, and this, with the bad air, had so benumbed them that they were almost unconscious.

BURDEN JEWELS HELD.
Asked to Remit $17,5o0 Customs
 Charges.

NEW YORK, June 12.-Assistant District Attorney Lindsay telegraphed to the treasury department, Washing ton, yesterday, for an order directing Collector of the Port Kilbreth to de- liver the Burden diamonds without the duty, and without breaking the sealed package in which they are.
 The jewels are those alleged to have been stolen from I. Townsend Burden by Turner and Dunlop, and recovered in London. They were shipped to Morton, Bliss & Co., and were held at the custom house for $17, 800 duty. MT. Lindsay said that the jewels are to be used in the prosecution of Turner and that their value as evidence would be destroyed if the seals were broken.

CONTRASTING DELEGATES Mckinley Men Have the
 Pole. Tom Reed Says He Is in the
 Race.
Tom Platt Threatens to BoIt-Dele- gates Are Pouring Into
 St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, June 12.-The city is rapidly filling up with delegates and the hotel Hobbies are crowded with contesting delegates and their advo- cates. The National committee is holding continuous session. All the contests thus far have been decided practically for the Mckinley interests. The managers of the opposing booms still keep up their spirit, but are ap- parently waiting for some casualty that may sufficiently hurt the man in the lead.
 Today there was in circulation a re- port that Thomas c. Platt has de- clared his intention to bolt if the six contestants from New York should be seated. It was learned from members of the National committee that proba- bly, the six Mckinley men will be thrown out and other men placed on the temporary roll. Platt's remark was reported to Hanna today. T shall not get excited over this, even, if Platt said it." Hanna remarked. When as- sured that Platt had made the remark he was not disturbed. Other friends of Mckinley said Platt was putting up a grand bluff.
 To an Associated Press reporter to- day Platt said he had not spoken par ticularly of the New York contests, but of the whole proceedings of the com mittee. "They are riding rough shod over everything" he said, ''the ques- tion of a mans title to a seat is not considered on its merits, but as to his position on presidential candidates '' Hahn, member of the committee from Ohio, has declared that the only ques- tion involved in these contests is whether or not this man is for McKin- ley. ss &yss5s-,-4s r The contests this morning were de- cided in favor of the Mckinley dele gation. The Kellogg delegates at large from Louisiana were seated to- day. Two of the delegates seated are for Mckinley and two for Reed. Will berty and Simms, the Mckinley dele gates for the St. Louis convention from the Second Louisiana district were seated. In the First Louisiana district ex-Governor Warmoth and Cohen were given seats; they are fol Mckinley.

SELLING HUMAN EARS.
With Earrings Still in Them on the

: LONDON, June 12.-The Times has a dispatch from Canea, Island of Crete, which says great alarm continues among Christians. There it is said the presence of war has saved them from massacre. The principal source of fear to them is the Turkish soldiers, who are the same as those who gained notoriety at Zeitoun at the time of the Armenian massacre.
 They are selling watches and jew elry, which they openly state they took from Armenians. It is asserted also that human ears, with earrings in them, are being sold.

I am as earnestly for MT. Reed as ever and am, with his friends, doing everything possible to bring about his nomination, and urge upon his supporters throughout the country to make still greater efforts in his behalf.

water to the point named would in times of scarcity leave the Tempe canal dam almost dry, promoting seepage and waste in the flow to be received by the older canal
 Chandler, long ago, and prior to the construction of the power house, sought to carry the Tempe canal water through his great head ditch, sending it through a rocky gully to join the Tempe canal. This action was en- joined in the Maricopa district court, but the injunction was later dissolved in the supreme court and the case sent back to this county. When the power house was completed large canal was dug from it to the Tempe line and one day a large force of men cut the Tempe banks and turned through the turbines and canal flow of several hundred inches. The Tempe farmers gathered in hot haste, threw back the embankment, allowing the water to flood the surrounding land and posted guard with shotguns.
 But the case is now decided. It is probable further operations will be de- layed till the hearing of an appeal be- fore the supreme court.
 The Chandler idea mainly embraces an intention to transmit at a high po- tential electricity to the towns of Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix, for lighting and power purposes with an ingenious scheme appended that will add to the water supply of the valley. At least till the power of the motors has all been taken for commercial purposes, the turbines are to actuate great pumps placed in the lowland, almost the river bottom, though near the power house and the discharge will be poured into the Tempe canal, similar amount of water being diverted by Chandler from the river supply, to ir- rigate his lands on the mesa above. The lift of the wells in the bottom will be inconsiderable and expert en- gineering ability declares the scheme feasible.

A prominent member of the delegation says a strong fight would be made for silver and if gold platform was adopted the result in California in No vember would be mixed with uncer- tainty.

 the second place on the ticket at St.
 Louis in case the convention decided to go west for a candidate.
