wanted. 1t is much to be regretted
that it was not. and yet there was
every reason to think it was. The lady
who had Travelled in the same stage
coach with the man who resembled
Hermans had no hesitation in declar-
ing the latter's photograph to be that
of her stage coach companion. The
officers also state that the resemblance
was most remarkable and such as to
fully warrant the man who first said
it was Hermans in his statements. The
coincidence of the mans nationality
and everything connected with the
case seemed to almost completely
identify the man as Hermans The of

WARNING TO DEFAULTERS.

Washington, May 5.-The state depart
ment has just been advised of the action
of the Mexican government in the case
of Chester Rowe, the defaulting treas
urer of Poweshick county, Iowa, who
escaped into Mexico last October with
his brother, who was concerned in the
defalcation.
The brother was promptly surrendered
to the Iowa authorities on application,
but in the case of Chester the Mexican
government was obliged to refuse to sur
render, because by the purpose of some
real estate and declaration he became
a citizen of the country and was not
subject to eXtraditiOn. However, Mex
leo proved equal to the emergency; for,
although il did not surrender the man,
it caused his arrest on the charge of
bringing stolen property into the coun-
try and according to advices just re-
ceived they have discouraged the further
entry of like criminals into Mexico by
fning Rowe $4,000 (all the money he
had left of the sum he carried away
and sentenced him to twelve years i'm
prisonment.

telegraphic correspondence between Sir
Hercules Robinson, DR.. w. Leeds, sec
retary of South Africa, and Sir Joseph
Welt. British agent at Pretoria, cover
ing the period between April 20 and 30,
has been published.
In brief it shows the extreme dis
quietude prevailing in the Transvaal at
the time in regard to the alleged mass
ing of British troops on the western bor-
der of the Transvaal republic, or in the
vicinity of Mafeking. 1t appears that
President Kruger was not inclined to
accept the assurance of Sir Hercules
Robinson that the gathering was not
one of hostile intent and that the troops
were not being held at Mafeking, but
were being started as promptly as pos
sible for Buluwayo and elsewhere.
Sir Jacobus A. De Witt, finally pro-
posed, with the approval of President
Kruger, the sending of commission
of Beers and Englishmen to inquire into
the reported departure of British troops.
To this Sir Hercules Robinson replied
that he trusted he would receive no such
''preposterous proposals"

SHOOTING AT A SHINDIG.
A Lively Time Experienced at Country
Dance Near Henrietta.

Henrietta, Tex, May 5.-(Special)-
Last night dance was held at the home
of Charles Risely, about nine miles south
east of here. An old grudge existed be-
tween Hiram Curtis and Mat Bently.
When Curtis arrived he found Bently
already there with two friends, Ormand
and Tate by name. He walked up to
Bently and told him to get out, at the
same time throwing up his gun and COM
mencing to shoot. Bently jumped back,
drew his gun and returned Curtis fire.
After shooting five times he ran out of
the door and started for Henrietta to
give himself up. After the firing ceased
it was found that Hiram Curtis was
shot several times in the breast; Bird
Risely, son of Noah Risely, was shot in
the breast once; Charles Risely was shot
in the leg and s. ID. Hefne was shot in
the hip. Hefner come to town and had
the ball extracted and brought the first
news to the city. Shortly after Bently
came to town and gave himself up to the
officers. 1t is reported here from where
the shooting occurred that both Hiram
Curtis and Bird Risely are dead.

Mr.. Pettigrew asserted his belief that
the recent financial scares had been pur-
posely worked up by the present admins
tration in order to force congress to pass
administration measures and after that
to compel financial transactions to en-
rich the favorites of the president If not
the president himself"
There had been, he said, a conspiracy
on the part of the administration to ruin
Fthe country's credit.
Mr.. Pettigrew spoke of the part taken
by the "former law partner of President
Cleveland in negotiating the bond con-
tract with the Morgan syndicate.
The senator said that if some mayor or
governor, or less favored individual than
president had acted in this way i'm
parchment or criminal prosecution would
have followed at once"
Mr.. Pettigrew believed in a searching
investigation which would lay bare. the
secret features of the bond transactions.
A sharp controversy occurred between
Mr.. Pettigrew and Mr.. Hill as to what
course Secretary Carlisle should have
pursued in awarding the forfeited bonds.
Mr.. Pettigrew asserted that the award
to Morgan & Co., was ''rotten and dis
honest to the core"
Mr.. Pettigrew also criticised Mr.. Sher-
man for his recent tribute to the secre-
tary of the treasury as man.
'Who is more competent to express
such a tribute" asked Mr.. Hill, than the
distinguished senator from Ohio, himself
once secretary of the treasury"
THAT is a matter of opinion" respond
ed Mr.. Pettigrew.
II do not doubt that the senator and
the Morgan syndicate will forever pro-
claim that the senator from Ohio is the
best authority that can be found so long
ms he openly endorses the robbery OF the
people and the plunder of the treasury.
The bond resolution was laid aside, MT.
Hill retaining the floor, Mr.. PETER hav-
ing concluded not to press for vote to-
night.
Mr.. Allison asked when the vote could
be expected.
Certainly tomorrow" answered Mr..
PETER. .,,.

son.
