FOR KILLING AN INDIAN,
Harry Anderson Again Arrested for tho
Niuf,irf- of ErnNEnP.

Port Angeles. Jan. ESPECIAL A re-
markahie Instance Of the manner in which
news travels among Indian tribes has been
brought 20 notice by letter from 1he
United States attorney general 20 Attor-
ney w. l.. Marquardt. OF this city. The
letter states that news Of the kllliag of
Philip Browne. an Indian. on the Ozette
reservation in this county, has reached
Indian tribes I'm several states, and that
the fact that the white man who commit
ted the deed has gone unpublished IS likely
20 cause trouble.
Henry Anderson killed Browne last sum
mer IN quarrel over sealSkins, and on
being brought here for trial was liberia ted
on haheas corpus on the ground that this
court had no Jurisdiction. Judge Hanford.
or Seattle. rendered a similar decision
when the case was brought up IN his court
and Anderson was set at liberty. A war
rant was sent 20 Seattle this week for
Anderson's arrest. hut IL was found that
he had escaped on the sealing schooner ST
Lawrence. bound for japan when the
schooner put iu az Nenh bay the Indians
there soon discovered that the man who
had Killed browne was aboard. and An
Indian policeman attempted 20 arrest him
but was prevented by the Interference Of

Speed VS.. Endurance.

An enterprising Finland farmer lately
brought six trottsrs from that country 20
America This seems much like Carrying
coal 10 Newcastle" 1t is claimed that
while not equal 10 the American trotter in
speed. these Finland horses surpass our
tr9tters in enourance.-American Horse
man.
Well, after all, excepting the paltry purse
consideration on the track, what are horses
for if not for endurance? We go into ecst b
cies over the mile race IN 2.05 and go,
never considering that most OF such horses
have little endurance for smother half mile
even. The large things of this world are
done by endurance as wei as speed. II the
sum of horse activity was limited by the
paltry exchange a the races the matter OF
endurance might be relegated to the bow
vows, and all be invited 10 breed for speed
for one mile. No one takes more pleasure
than the writer IN the matter of speed, but
IL the qualities end there. as IL does with
many who display It on the track, it is OF
small importance, except for the races
purely. But the larger matter OF endurance
also will have consideration with nine out
of ten who make adequate estimate OF
values in breeding. and still larger pro-
portion of those who demand horses for USE
There are lines of breeding which en-
brace both speed and endurance, and what
ever OF value in the market there is for
horses is due 20 the demand for these;
while the breakdown in the market Is
traceable wholly to the kind that has wind
for just ore mile.
If the incoming Finland farmer has
brought over something that has fair speed
and plenty Of endurance. let us hope that
when the canneries and fertilizer establish
ments have consumed the majority OF the
present race, their blood may multiply in
this country.
The time is near when horse breeds on
trial will be put 10 the larger test OF endur-
ance as well as speed. The miles Will then
be extended TO ten and twenty. and the
value or horses viii have a substantial
basis. The strides in electrical knowledge
and device promise a sure incentive 20 this.
SO long as $3.50 to $3.50 horses with reason
able speed and endurance for ten to twentN
miles are grown. their feed and keep added

THEY THREATEN To LYNCH.
ParkersburR Citizens Excited Over
Cases OF Criminal Assault

Parkersburg. W. Va. Jan. 19.-The JAN Is
guarded tonight owing 10 the attempts
and threats OF lynching those arrested re-
Gently for assaulting girls. Several sus-
poets are held across the Pennsylvania line
for the outrage of Lulu Wethrsll a week
ago. The officers do not want TO bring any
one here charged with the wethreil attack
unless they have uncontrovertible evil
dence, owing 10 the danger OF lynching.
The second offender is Charles Russell,
charged with attempting the ruin OF his
s-year-old stepdaughter. At the prelimin-
airy hearing yesterday Justice Beckwith
had strongly armed guards present, but
while the little girl was testifying he ad-
3ourned court quickly and rushed Russell
back to jail to prevent the crowd in court
capturing the prisoner The crowd fol-
lowed the officers TO the Jail. but the pris-
oner was safely landed. and then the
guards defied any attack. The crowd was
dispersed by the announcement that the
assailant OF Lulu Wethrell was en- route 10
the city. There is apprehension of trouble
now. although every possible effort has
been made to prevent IL. and the sheriff Is
strongly reinforced

THE ARGENTINE CORN CROP.

It VIII Be Used IN Fattening Cattle
For Export.
From a Report by the Minister 20 Argen-
tine.
On account OF the general interest taken
in the probabilities regarding the coming
wheat and the past corn harvest IN this
republic. I have thought best TO transmit
to you briefly the result OF my inquiries
and efforts 10 reach some approximately
reasonable conclusions on the subject
The general consensus OF opinion as to
the wheat acreage for next year In this
province (Buenos Ayresl would indicate
a reduction of about Is per cent a. COM
pared with last year, owing largely 10 the
fact that the corn crop interfered with
planting, while in the province of Santa Fe
the acreage will De more or less the same.
Locusts have made their appearance in
large numbers in parts of the latter prov
ince, and fears are entertained that the
wheat will suffer very much this year
from their ravages.
The Indications are that the amount of
wheat for export next year will be moder-
ate and not in excess of the exports fer
this year
The corn crop, which is now being ship
ped abroad. was large. but. from various
causes. the quantity suitable for export is
greatly below that expected. Among other
causes, the mild winter has been the
most important, as it has made ii inpos-
sible to properly cure the crop 50 that it
would stand exporting.
The maize market Is very dun, and large
quantities are on hand in the interior. 1t
will be found impossible 10 cure the large
portion remaining by artificial methods
and sell IL. except at 4 loss, at present and
prospective prices. For this reason. II Is
TO be expected that greater attention will
be given than has heretofore been done to
the use of corn in fattening cattle for ex-

quiry, composed OF British shipmasters,
was convened at the consulate to investi-
gate the recent wreck of the ship Janet
Cowan. Much testimony was adduced rel
alive to the sobrlety OF the master. many
OF the forecastle hands testifying that the
captain was greatly addicted 10 intemper-
anee. II was further shown that the ves-
Sci came into the Straits after dark, De-
cem5er 81, before a southwest gale. and was
preceded by two or three other vessels
Then the cowan put about and beat to sea
under lower topsail The vessel being short
handed and high out OF the water, to-
gether with a southwest gale and north
erly current though headed northwest,
and while the master was below, ran
ashore on Vancouver island.

sui holds that he has the right 10 ship the
crew on the first vessel Offering to take
them on the return voyage 10 England,

Cowan on such conditions. They assert
that they signed for the voyage of tho
Cowan and no other ship. and that under
British law they are entitled to their choice
OF three months pay or return TO England
