REMAIN IN PRISON.
Pardon for the Younger Brothers is
Denied.

Pardon for the Younger Brothers is
Denied.
st. Paul, July 15.-Cole ard James
Younger will remain in the state pris-
"on at Saltwater. The board of par
"dons, after a discussion of about an
hour, by a unanimous vote, denied
their prayer for pardon.
The members Of the board at the
start were not all of the same mind as
to the merits of the case. Indeed, it
is understood that one of the three
members commended vigorously that
the pardon should be granted. This
having been ascertained on the open
ing vote, the board proceeded to dis
cuss the question, the law of the case,
the merits of the petitioners, the char
acter of the crime and the probable ef-
fects of a pardon on the community.
It was $3.50 o'clock when the board re-
tired and began it's discussion. An
hour later it announced that it had
been agreed unanimously to refuse to
grant the pardon. No explanations
were made as to how this decision had
been reached and on what grounds it
was based.
Messrs. Bronaugh and Jones, the
Missouri kinsmen of the Youngers,
were waiting in the governors outer
office all the afternoon in the hope
that the board would reach a decision
before adjournment. Warden Wolfer
aeft for saltwater on the o'clock train
confident that there would be no par
don. Promptly on the receipt of the
news the other left the capitol and fol-
lowed the warden to Saltwater on the
first train.
Those who heard the argument of
the case the past two days expressed
no surprise It the result. 1t was the
general concensus of opinion that the
petitioners for pardon could not hope
at the best to find more than one friend
on the board. Some surprise was ex-
pressed, therefore, that even this one
friend was lacking, and there were a
great many exchanges of opinion AS
to how it happened. "
Kellihnn Will Not Hang.
All of the forty-eight applicants for
pardons considered by the state board
of pardons did not share the fate Of
the Younger brothers. Seven Of the
forty-eight- that pleaded for clemency
received favorable consideration. Four
OF these were absolute pardons. Two
Others received substantial commuta-
ton of their sentences, and the sew
enth, Kellihan the Sherburn bank rob-
Der sentenced to die Aug. II, will be
imprisoned for life.
The four men pardoned were H. Fl.
Rose of st. Paul, sentenced for life;
Henry Bedore of Wright county, r. III.
w. Dwight OF st. Paul and J. P. Doug
las Of Minneapolis. Those that re-
'ceived communication Of sentence were
%. u. Ellis of Jackson county and Val
entine Tuboli OF st. Louis county. The
remaining applications We're either re-
jected or their consideration postponed
ITO the next meeting.

The sugar schedule was the main

when Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. McMillin,
the two rival Democratic leaders
crossed swords on the question of or
thodoxy of the free raw material doc

The galleries were crowded up to the
time the vote was taken, many dis
tlnguished people being present.
Among them were a number of seua-
tors, several members of the cabinet
and few members of the diplomatic
co1rs. Every republican in the house
who was present voted for the report.
The Democrats, with five exceptions,
voted against the report. The excep-
tons were Slayden of Texas, Brous-
Dayey Of Louisiana and Kieberg Of
Texas.
The Populists and Silverites did not
vote solidly. Mr.. Shafo1th of Colorado
and Newlands of Nevada, silverites,
abStained from voting, and Mr.. Hart

port were Baker, Barlow, Botkin,
Fowler, Jet, Lewis, Marshall, Martin,
Peters, Simpson, Strowd and Vincent.
-Four did not vote-HOward, Kelley,

Populists were absent. An analysis
OF the vote shows that $50 Republic

port and 1O6 Democrats and II Popu-

way the state board of railroad com
missioners will decide in behalf of the

all correspondingly as high, in COM

Tie people are anxious for reduction

that the cost of construction in the
Black Hills has been far more ex-
pensive than elsewhere in the state;
that their total revenues from their
lines for the past five years have not
been sufficient to pay their operating
expenses and that their taxes and in
terest on bonds have to be paid from
other sources. They give statements
that they have been doing business in
this state at an actual loss. and re-
duction in their rates would prevent
their further operation.

Man Drowned While Trying to Save
Chicago, July 21.-While vainly at
tempting to rescue Joseph Schultz
from drowning, Harry Canning, a
fireman on the steam barge Albert G.
Wente, was also drowned. The young
men were swimming in the Calumet
river, near Ninety-tifth street. Schultz
was cook on the barge. Both live
in ManiStee, Mich. Schultz was an
expert swimmer, and entertained spec
tators by exhibition diving. He was
warned that he had been in the~water
too long, but he took what he said was
a last plunge. He dived and came up
in the middle of the river. Suddenly
he cried out, threw up both hands and
sank. Canning dived from a wharf
where he was sitting, and men on the
barge got out boat. When Schultz
appeared Canning caught him by the
hair and tried to support him while
he treaded water. But Schultz, who
had been seized with a cramp, threw
his arms around Canning's neck SO he
could not swim. In vain Canning
tried to break the hold, and both sank.
The river was dragged and the bodies
of both young men were brought up
locked in each others arms. Schnltz's
grasp was so tight that the bodies
could hardly be separated.
