-Boxley, alias Edward Campbell, one
Of the men implicated in the brutal
murder of Policeman Fred Parlin last

self accidentally while attempting to
reload his revolver with the intention
Of fighting his pursuers. 1t is also evil
dent, the police say, that he was the
man who shot Parlin, but the cause
that led up 10 the murder is still a
mystery. as Campbell was the only
witness, and he refuses to talk. The

INCLINED TO CRAWFISH.
Salisbury Willing to Submit the Boun-
Diary t o Arbitration.

Washington, March 1S.-It is assert
ed that the members of the Venezuela
boundary commission have informally
concluded that Great Britain's case is
untenable, and that Venezuela's claim
is a just one. Unless some new facts
come to Light, this will be the nature
of their decision.
In the negotiations which have been
going on between the Washington and
London governments, it is stated that
some weeks ago Lord Salisbury show
ed a disposition to attempt a settle
ment Of the Venezuela difficulty by ne
%gotiation with the United States. He
had already endeavored to make terms
with Venezuela N a money basis, and
failed, President Crespo rejecting his
proposition.
Lord Salisbury then intimated to the
United States his willingness to per-
NIT the dispute TO go to arbitration,
so far as the boundary line is con
cerned, burt insisted that the question
as to what was to become of the in
terests of the British settlers in the
disputed territory, and what is known
as the settled DISTRICTS" was to be
left as a subject OF future discussion.
This proposal was not accepted.
however. President Cleveland and
Secretary Olney declined to recon-
mend to Venezuela any plan of arbi-
tration which did not include the
whole subject and provide for settle
ment of all the points at issue. This
government replied with a suggestion
that Great Britain agree to place be-
fore the arbitration tribunal the whole
question, so that in case the verdict be
against England the settlers and min
ers now operating under license from
the British crown, would become sub
ject to the laws OF Venezuela. Presi-
dent Cleveland was firm in his insist
ence that if the territory rightfully
belonged to Venezuela, all licenses,
privileges and control belonged to her

THEY ROASTED BOKE.
Three Senators Get After the
Secretary.
HE THE LAW.
Or Eise Thought He Was superior
to IL, and Decide ed That Congress
Did Not Know what
Wa Doing.

Washington, March 1S.-During the
consideration in the senate today Of a
resolution to open the Uncompahgre
reservation in Utah, Secretary Hoke
Smith was severely criticised by Sem
ator Cannon OF Utah, Wolcott OF Colo
RADIO and Vest of Missouri, and the last
named senator said there had been a
time when a cabinet officer who de-
liberately disobeyed the law would be
brought before the bar of the senate.
but that 1t wal now quite common for
such officers to refuse to carry out the
law.
Mr.. Vest said the opening up Of the
asphalt regions IN this reservation
would greatly cheaper the product.
He declared that this course Of nullify-
ing laws had grown to such an extent
that it had become reprehensible.
Referring to the proposed action Of
Secretary Morton in complying with
the seed resolution. Mr. Vest said 1t
would not be carried our 50 as to Sc
cure an efficient distribution of seed,
but that the secretary would act In
such a way as to place upon congress
the appearance of wasting the appro-
prtation. Az to the Uncompahgre res
ervation and Secretary Smith. he de-
clared that the secretary and presi-
dent, acting on the suggestion Of the
secretary. decided that congress did
not know what It was doing. MI. Vest
declared that there was q disposition on
the part of the administration not to
treat the people of the west fairly, as
IL they did not know what they want
ed. He referred to the late address Of
the president to the Presbyterian mis-
sion board In New York, the president
standing on the threshold of the rum
holes and the places Of vice in New
York and saying the people Of the west
needed missionary aid. He had heard
that the president had lately laid his
heart at the feet Of Jesus. He was glad
to hear 1t. He had feared that the
president had donated all his adora-
tion to the mugwumps and incense
burners.
Senator Yes. said that II the presi-
dent would hunt less ducks in North
Carolina and silver democrats in Ken
lucky, it would be better for the coun-
try. He declared the refusal OF pub
lie officers to obey the law has become
SO fragrant that 1t demanded the atten-
tion of the legislative branch Of the
government.
Mr.. Villas offered an amendment to
exempt asphalt lands from the opera
tions OF the law opening the ser
ton.
Senator Villas plead for time to con
slider the resolution. Its passage
would be a reflection upon the secre-
tary and even upon the president. The
Uncomphagre bill was finally laid
aside after being made the unfinished
business, after the pending Arkansas
claim bill. which. being disposed Of.
Mr.. Thurston took the floor on the
Dupont case. He referred sarcastic
ally to the harmony shown on the
democratic side by the discussion OF
the Utah resolution.

HAVING FUN WITH A WHALE.
That Is to Any One Who Likes That Sort
of Fun-A Tacoma Story.

Tacom', Wash, Sept. S.-A seventy-five
foot whale has been harpooned in Puget
sound and is now dragging the harpooners
in an open skiff about this inland sea.
For more than a month experienced
whalers have been trying by every means
known 20 capture the great leviathian.
expecting to put him on exhibition. Tugs
and steamers have been outfiitred with
cannon and mortars provided with steel
harpoons that could be shot out from the
cannon or mortars like n bullet out of a
rifle. All the whalers have been baffled.
and it was left for four amateurs in an or.
dinary skiff to harpoon the whale, which
they did.
AS soon as their harpoons struck him
the whale started, dragging the skiff
after him. Steamers and tugs Joined in
the chase, and the greatest nautical eX-
element known in the history of Puget
sound was precipitated. The intrepid
amateurs drove q three-foot lance into
the whale, drawing Il large amount of
blood. For thirty-siX hours the whale
has been dashing about this end of the
sound, and although he is apparently
not as strong as when harpooned he is
frisky enough to render the chase very
exciting. Late at night a second harpoon
was made fast to the whale, with a
barrel attached
