WILL DEMAND POSSESSION
Rsa mining Board of the Home For the
F%ricndless to Take Action.

Ms mining board OF the Home For tho
Friendless to Take Action.
Officers and members of the examin-
ing board of the home for the friend
less, appointed by Governor Holcomb,
will meet at Lincoln today (Monday)
to organize. Sometime during the day
the new officers will GO to the home
and make a formal demand for posses
session. They will meet with a re-
fusal By the officers of the society now
in charge. The new officers will prob
ably take no action. as it is understood
that the board Of public lands and
buildings will not endeavor to secure
possession of the home, being content
for the present to allow those in charge
to II 1t Mt their own expense. The
society of the home for the ~friendless
will probably commence a suit for a
writ OF mandamus to compel the state
board to honor vouchers and pay claims
contracted In conducting the home.
Such q suit cannot be commenced until
vouchers are presented and refused by
the state board.
The state board recently notified Mrs.
Williams, the superintendent, that no
claims would be allowed from the
home after July 0, as the board ex-
pected to make arrangements after
that time with the new officers. The
superintendent was notified that
the new physician, Dr.. Lenore Perky
Of Lincoln, val a homeopathic doctor
and for this reason the recent bid for
drugs was rejected. New bids are to
be opened By the state board on July
18th.

PITTsBuRo, Pa, July 2i.-Thc heads

for the striking miners. II needed. and
tits said they will render nll the aid

Arthur, chief Of the brotherhood Of

miners out.
When President Radford was asked
as to the truth OF the report. he snid:
1--WE have been keeping that feature
of the strike from the newspapers for
several days. ] will say, however.
that we have communicated with the
heads OF all the railway organizations
in the country, and I believe we will
have their support in this struggle.
In regard to asking them to call on
the railway employees to refuse TO
haul coal until this strike Is ended,
! will say this will only be done
when ! have exhausted all other
means. 1t will hardly be fair to use
this means until we have used every
effort to close down every mine in the
bituminous coal field. l do not care
to discuss this subject any further.
We are certain of success and the sit
ustion to-day Is more encouraging
than at any time since the strike was
inaugurated."
The district officers will make n de-
termined effort tomorrow to bring
out the New York and Cleveland gas
coal company's miners. Arrange.

tentions Of Each Sid

WARRINGTON, July :3.-The Repub
lican conferecs on the tariff bill, anx
ious TO reach q complete agreement a.
early as possible. were at work yester
day for four hours. Several hundred
OF the minor amendments have beer
agreed upon. many Of them, however,
nero changes Of phraseology, and on O
large majority Of these the House con.
ferees have yielded.
To-day the first of the importan,
points In dispute we're taken up and
ut noon 1t was predicted that several
reports would have To be made before
an adjustment could be reached. the
House confcrees standing solidly by
their bill and the Senate conferees
being no less tenacious.
The Senate conferees laid before
the House members the condition in
the senate, where there Is no actual
majority for the Republicans, and
where other than Republican votes
are necessary to pass the bill or adopt
a conference report. They asserted
that In 1894 the Democrats were in
better shape In the Senate than the
Republicans now. as they had an ac-
tual majority, yet the House was fin
ally compelled to accept the Senate
bill in order to pass IL. Nevertheless.
the House conferees replied that they
could not accept the Senate amend
ments on many important items.
Lumber has been in dispute and the
House conferees have insisted that the
House rate on white pine must be nc-
cepted, and they have been supported
In this by Senator Burrows Of M,chi-
gan. Tbs House rate was 81 and the
Senate reduced IL to 81. The Senate
confcrees say that II the House rate Is
restored II will provoke Q long dis
cussion In the Senate, and that no n
could tell when the bill would get out
OF the Senate again.
straw mating, which the Senate
put upon the FREQ list Is another item
OF contention. The House confcrees
have refused to accept even the rate
which was originally reported in the
Senate bill and stand for the House
rate.
Burlaps, cotton ties and other items
which were placed on the free list by
the Senate met with great hostility
from the House conferees, and so far
nothing In the way of a compromise
by the Senate members has t.en ac-
The differences in regard to sugar.
wool, coal and lead have not even
been referred to yet and they are the
most serious Of all.
The House conferees are also insist.
ing upon higher compensatory,duties
manufactures Of cotton on Account
OF the duty Of 20 per cent on raw cot
ton.
On the subject Of reciprocity the
drift OF opinion seems to be in the
direction Of tho Senate substitute, but
with certain of the House provisions.
Thai Is, the list Of articles which can
be used rs a basis for reciprocity treat
les will DO ~broadened, but the Senate
provision recurring the ratification of
the treaties will be discarded. Sew

branches OF Congress question the

WILL THEY GET PARDON7


Feelnig Mucn DIVIDED.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July lathe one
topic Mt the capital Of Minnesota TO-
day Is the application for the pardon
Of the Youngcrs, which will be con.
sidcred by the state board Of pardons
Monday. Sentiment IL divided, OF
course, but the overwhelming weight
Of II Is In favor OF the pardon.
Men we'll known throughout the
state, who had heretofore bitterly
opposed every move In the direction
OF clemcncy toward the Mortified
bank robbers. have come forward TO
speak for their r~elense within the last
week. The press of Minneapolis and
St Paul favor the pardon, and upon
this home sentiment the friends of the
Youngers base whatever hope they may
have that the board Of pardons will re.
lease the convict brothers, This hope,
however. Is slender, for IL has FOR
many years been said In Minnesota
that a nan who might be instrumental
In the pardon Of the Youngers need
never look for another Office at the
hands OF the people. For this reason
few people believe that the board will
grant n release.
The board Is composed Of Governor
Clough, Chief Justice Start and At
torney General Childs. IL requires a
unanimous vote for the board to grant
"a pardon. The board will meet to
consider applications for pardon Mon
day morning. Among the very first
OF these will be the pleas for the
Youngers.
II Is the general belief that Cover.
o Clough will vote for the pardon,
but those who are closest to Attorney
General Childs and Chief Justice start
shy that neither Of them has ever
given expression On the subject. The
change Of sentiment in favor Of the
pardon may influence them, but at
least one Of them IL expected to OPP
pose. The pardon would be as much
a surprise as Is the change in public
sentiment which has taken place.

objects TO Their Pardon
ST. PAU, Mimi, July l. The only
individual protest of Importance so far
made against the pardon Of the two
Younger brothers Is from A. f. Bun
ker, general manager OF the Western
Newspaper Union. who was teller OF
the Northficld bank in September,
1870, when they raided 1t. Mr.. Bunker
says:
II was teller OF the bank at the time
and witnessed the attack upon Mr..
Haywood and now carry a scar caused
by n bullet wound through my shout
der, inflicted by Charley Pitts, one of
the gang. 1t seems to me that state
ments of reputable citizens of North
field. made directly after the raid,
shonld be entitled to rs much credence
ms statements made by Cole Younger,
twcnty-ope yesrsrssfter. Younger's
present story contains many mis-
statements and omissions. He at
tempts to shield Frank and Jesse
James, while seeking liberty himself.
He would have us believe that he was
ut Northield or that eventful day for
the purpose Of preventing the boys
from killing law-abid!ng citizens The
citizen who followed the four robbers
to the bank vas J. s. Allen, and he
was first to give the alarm on the out
side. He was not ordered to stop by
Clel Miller, but told "a Git. Don't
you hollcr, or Ill kill you.' Allen
got but 'hollcred.' II Cole Younger
told Miller or Styles not to shoot
either Allen or Wheeler, no one else
heard him.
"Cole Younger did not 60 to tho
bank door and tell the boys to hasten
out until after Miller and Styles were
both killed and he himself was
wounded; and he came to the bank
door only once, just after I had been
shot by Pitts. What Younger said
n Better get out, men. The
game is up. They're killing all our
men, Those In the bank needed no
second invitation, rs they were BAT
He'd In their attempt to get the funds.
THE idea of Cole Younger sparing
DR.. wheeler's life by considerably
aiming above his head and shooting
out a pane OF glass is ridiculous He
was not SO solicitous for the protection
OF the defenseless Swede, Anderson,
whom he shot down In cold blood and
OF whose murder he pleaded guilty
when arraigned Mt Faribault. The
statement Of Cole that he 'fred into
the corner OF the building ON Bridge
square to brighten people away etc,
Is irnbecilic. Manning was on that cor
ner, and was there for business. Very
soon after Manning's appearance the
engagement became general and
everybody was shooting to kill. More
than thirty shots were fred at Man
ming and others on the corner, and IL
Is miraculous how they escaped injury.
The fnct simply shows that the rob-
bers were excited and were no better
marksmen than Manning and Wheeler.
when Ex-Governor Pillsbury was
collected to grant q pardon to the
Yonngers several years ago, he re-
piled:
"'when I think OF the numbering
OF poor Haywood in cold blood and Of
h u~uprovoked assaults ON other law
abiding citizens Of Northheld, 70 saw
nothing of other crimes committed bv
these men. | do not think they will
