The me hols adopted by the authoIi-
lies ct Cincinnati in attempting to eztort
confessions from the young men accused
of the murdef OF Pearl Bryan, are to say
the leas., peculiar. When officers OF the
law who are charged with the keeping Of
rsons accused Of crime seek to pro-
cure from their prisoners statements
which they may d.stort into conf ssions
Of guilt and patch up convictions upon
elth : temel:s, they are exercising an
authority which the commoncst consd-
aratons of Il, cency would deprive them
of. So many nbuees of he facilities sog

the forced relations OF prisoner to his

should be some restrictions tbrown
around it even to the exclusion of the

The murder of this unfortunate girl
was Il horrible crime and the circum-

some Texas people, who weut there WITH
cattle, the country being an ideal graz

they knew nothing about mining they
managed to get rich by digging to the
best of their ability. The principal
mines are the Od Abe, Little Mac

There are three stamp mills in the dis
trict, two Of 20 stamps each and one Of

There is good opport unity for a custom

PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
Popular Election OF Senators Has n
Majority in The senate.

Washington, March II. Senator
Mitchell of Oregon is preparing his
report in favor of amen 'ment to the
constitution providing for election of
United States senators by direct vote of
the people. AT its meeting the com
mittee on privileges and elections by a
vote of 4 to S, ordered a joint resolu-
ton looking to change in this partieu-
lar to be reported to the senate. 1t is Mr..
Mltchel's intention to press the resolu.
ton for consiperation.
"The house once passed a similar
resolution" said Senator Mitchell, and |
celieve is ready to pass another. There
is very strong feeling in the senate in
favor of the change, and Senator Pal
mer of Illinois andiothers are anxious to
have the matter brought up. am salts
fed we have in the senate majority in
its favor, but whether or not we have
the required two-thirds is in doubt We
may have enough votes to pass It, and If
we have | believe the proposed amend
ment will be ratified by three fourths of
the States in the manner required BY
the consfitut ion."

London, March Ill Is stated the
government will support the Whitley
bimetalic motion, with the qualification
that the government does not intend to
depart in the slightest from the gold
standard.
The resolution of Mr.. Whitley recites
that it is the opinion of the house that
the instability in the relative value of
gold and silver, since the action of the
Latin union in 1873 had proved injurious
to the best interests of the country, and
it urges upon the government the ad
visibility of doing their utmost to Sc
cure an international agreement
The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, said that although
bimetalism was involved in the motion,
ITS adoption by the house did not neces-
sarily involve the adoption Of the bime
tallic system by the United Kingdom.
He then proceeded to dwell upon the
diversity of opinion regarding bimetal-
ism and he thought it was impossibleto
fix ratio absolutely independent of the
market fluc EQUATION of such articles. On
the other hand, he continued, it was not
denied that If an international agreement
was entered into by sufficient number
of nations, it would influence the fuctu-

adoption of an international agreement
by sufficient number of nations might
possibly bring the value of the metal:

Butte, Mont, March IS.-The cold
blooded murder of Officer Fred Parlin
last night by several toughs has
wrought the people of Butte up to
realization of the serious condition of
affairs existing in this city, where muir
ders are so frequent and punishment so
rare, and there are many threats of
lynching made against the men. Ed.

implicated in the murder, was arrested
yesterday morning.
1t developed today that the dead man
who was found under a pile of lumber
near the scene of the murder was the
man who killed the officer, and has been
identified as Roderick NJ. Judge, who
came to Butte from Leadville two
years ago. He is only 20 years old, and
miner by occupation. His father and q
brother live In Leadville, and have been
notified of the affair. Facts indicate
that he shot himself accidentally while
trying to reload his revolver

Washington, d. G., \ arch 2o.-The
house sub committee on public build
ings and grounds today decided on a
public building for Salt Lake, and rec
ommepded an appropriation of $780,
900 for its construction. The bill as in.
troduced by Representative Allen pro-
vides for buildings at both Salt Lake
and Ogden, but the committee followed
the uniform practice of congress in pro-
viding for public buildings at capitals
and commercial centers.
Mr. Allen made hard fight for Og.
den and was asked by the committee to
introduce separate bills for each city
but refused, stating that all Utah asked
was that buildings be erected in these
two cities.
The committee, however, said tina
they only favored one building for Utai
and decided to give that to Salt Lake.

Washington, March 40. The house
today, after three hours of debate.
adopted resolution censuring Thomas
+. Bay ard, ex-secretary of state and now
ambassador to the court of St. James,
for utterances delivered in an address to
the Boston, England, grammer school,
and in an address before the Edin-
burgh, Scotland, philosophical institu-
ton last fall.
The vote stood 1850 to II, In favor of
the first resolution, and IoI to 50 in favor
OF the second. Five republicans broke
away from party lines and voted against
the resolution of censure, and six dem
ocrats voted for 1t. All the republicans
and nine democrats voted for the second
resolution.
Mr.. Willis, republican from Mr..
Bayard's state, made a speech in oppo-
sition to the first resolution, and Mr..
Bailey (Dem. Texas) not only endorsed
the resolutions but declared that a man
who delivered such utterances as Mr..
Bayard had at Boston was "unworthy 70
represent the United States anywhere or
at any time
There was a report about the house
after the resolutions had been adopted
that Ambassador Bayard would resign,
but close friends of the administration
asserted positively that there was abso-
lutely no foundation for the rumors.
which they did not hesitate to ridlcuIe.
The resolutions adopted, after reading
the Objectionable portions of Mr.. Bay
ards speech, were as follows:
Resolved, That 1t Is the sense of the
house of representatives that Thomas
F. Bayard, ambassador of the United
States to Great Britain, In publicly
using the language above quoted has
committed an offense against diplomatic
prepriety and an abuse of the privileges
of the exalted position, which would
make him the representative of the
whole country and not of any political
party. Such utteranoes were wholly
inconsistent with that prudent, delicate
and scrupulous reserve which he him
self, while secretary of state, enjoined
upon all diplomatic agents of the United
States. In one speech he affronts the
great body of his countrymen, who be-
lieve in the policy of protection. In the
other speech he offends all his country
men, who believe that Americans are
capable of self government. Therefore,
as the immediate representative of the
American people and in their name,
we condemn and censure the utterances
of Thomas F. Bayard.
Resolved further, That in the opinion
of the house of representatives, public
speeches by our diplomatic or consular
officers abroad which display partisan
ship or which condemn any political
party or party policy or organization of
citizens In the United States are In dere-
LECTION of the duty of such officers, i'm
pair their usefulness as public servants
and diminish the confidence which they
should always command at home and
abroad.

after gathering the nets set out the
night before, started back When out
side the breakwate the blizzard struck
them, and they were soon hemmed in
by dense packs of floating ice that were
driven il by the north wind. They
were soon imprisoned and in danger of
sinking, and they whistled for help. Two
powerful harbor tugs forced their way
to the rescue amid the binding snow.

wedged fast, The other released her
and they returned to the river. lust
before nightfall they again made the
attempt, and this time, after hard bat

and feet of all her crew were badly
frostbitten They put back the third
time TO rescue the "Jessie Enas," but the
effort was finally abandoned, and the
