the better for that reason. Socialism is not
the letter. but the spirit; Il begins in the
tempers and aims of individuals: Some
steps are necessary for a changed condi-
tion of things. but they must be cautiously
taken, and slow. and the thing to do is to
socialize the individual.

Foley on the stand.


William S. Foley, the defendant. testified
that he was born in Liberty and for the
last twenty-seven years had lived on the
farm where his mother and sister were
ments during the day. At II or 1870 O'Clock
he went in buggy TO a sale at the farm
of Charles Wyman. Returned home at
to 4:30 o'clock. Between and oclock he
and his sister Amelia went to the home
of their brother-in-law and sister, Mr.. and
Amelia told him that Morrow row was wa SeiH going
to Liberty to join lodge and she was gO-
ing to remain all night with their sister.
the witness said he went to the Ligon
home and from there he rode home. going
through four gates. He found one of his
loose. He then believed that someone had
been there stealing his animals. and began
an Investigation. which resulted in his find
ing the bodies of his mother and sister.
He then went back to the Morrow home.
He believed he remained at the Ligon home
about an hour and a half, but he was not
certain. as his watch had run down and he
had not noticed the time while at LigOns.
Asked by Senator Simrall what he meant
when he said he would tell who killed his
mother and sister at the proper time. he
replied that at the proper time he would
prove his innocence.
On cross-examination by J. J. Williams
Foley said he couldn't tell how long II
took him to go from the Morrow home to
the LigOn home. but thought it might have
been half an hour. Neither could he tell
the exact time that he was at the latter
place, but It might have been from an
hour to an hour and a half. Asked If he
had not returned to his home at from 10
to 10:15 o'clock that night he replied:
Il left there about o'clock"
Didn't you state on your examination
before the coroner's jury that you left
Ligon's about $40 o'clock?"
Il don't remember"
This question was repeated: but Foley
persisted in saying that he could not recall
his testimony at the inquest.
Foley said further that the only view he
had of his mothers and sisters bodies was
while he was looking at them by the light
of a match. He did not know which was
the body of his mother and which OF his
dead. He was so excited that he did not
even see any of their wounds.
Testimony Closed.
At the night session of the court the de-
feEsc introduced more witnesses as 10
FCley's character and then rested.
The state then called John Davidson, 3.
who testified that Foley told them the day
after the killing of the two women that
when he went into the room where he
found his mothers and sisters bodies he
rect gnIzed his mothers body because IL
was larger than his sisters and because
she had gray hair.
The court adjourned until $50 O'Clock to-
morrow morning, at which time tie in
structions will be read 10 the jury, The
attorneys will then begin their arguments.
It is expected that they will finish by 1 or
O'Clock D. n. The jurors will then retire
Notwithstanding the prevailing opinion
that Foley IA guilty, 1t Is believed by those
who are acquainted with a majority Of the
Jurors that they Will disagree.

A RICH OIL FIND.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 2.-While
the whole world is excited over gold
discoveries in the north, sight has been
lost of another discovery that promis-
es to be of great value in the develop
ment of that section. Some months
ago a lake of almost pure petroleum
was discovered and samples sent to
Seattle for analysis. Assayer's report
on these say the find is of incalculable
richness. A company has been formed
at Seattle to handle the product and
put it on the Alaskan market at once.
The lake is of unknown depth several
miles wide, and five or six miles long.
1t is fed by spring and the hills sur
rounding it are said to be rich in
coal and asphalt. The lake is only two
miles from the ocean, so difficulties of
transportation will be reduced to
minimum.

GLADSTONE WROTE A PLAY.
From the Boston Herald.

FROM the Boston Herald.
1t is not generally known that many,
many years ago Mr.. Gladstone wrote
play treating of the famous 10000
under Xenophone, the leading part be-
ing intended for Kean or Young. The
drama, however, was rejected by the
manager of the day. Some enemy of
the g. o. m. is now raking up the
truth of this preparation and trying
to get hold of the MSS. with a view
to producing the piece on the London
stage. No doubt there is a great
dearth of new works, but what has
poor Mr.. Gladston done to warrant this
cruelty to his fame? Very likely the
ex-Liberal leader was stage-struck in
his youth. Anybody who has amoun-
ted to anything in after life has usual
ly suffered from that youthful disease
in some shape or other, and, as we all
know, Mr.. Gladstone has shown great
fondness for actors and actresses
Anderson when she first went to Eng
land, became a favorite with the
Gladstone family, and her beaux yeux,
/ am sure, must have done some havoc
with the great commoner. At least,
let us hope he was human, whatever
his adorers now make him out to be.
Dramatic enthusiasts, however, will
feel sorry this story of his playwriting
did not materialize some years earlier.

GRABBING MORE LAND.
The English Man-of-war Taking Pos
session-Story of the Massacre.

Inc EnBllSn Man-o1-W ar IaklnB POS-
session-Story of the Massacre.
Van Couver, b. c., Aug, .2-The
steamer Miowra, from Sydney, brou-
ght the details of the recent annexa-
ton of the Solomon group of islands.
The work of annexation was done by
her British majestys ship Wallerloo.
The first island made a colony was
Bellona, which the Wallerloor reached
on July 10th. The Union Jack was
lhoisted with the usual ceremonies.
The natives were very shy at first
and much frightened by the salute, but
soon became treasured on the ship
leaving, and removed the notice of the
Board OF Annexation, and dug up the
bottle containing the proclamation. The
entente cordial was first established
| by ship rescuing native blown out
to sea in canoe. Runnel island was
also placed under British protection
the same day. The island is difficult
of access and no natives were seen.
The Waterloo natives are OF hig type
and very friendly. They were much
pleased at becoming British subjects.
Runnell and Bellona lie to the south
ward of Guadalcanar in the Solomon
group and We're apparently discovered
by Capt Wilkinson, in the Indispen-
sable, in 1890. 1t is said copper ore is
abundant on them. According to
Lieut.. Richards, Runnen island is
about As miles long and six or seven
miles broad of uniform helghth, 400
feet, densely wooded, but apparently
affords no anchorage. The natives
resemble those on Tanna, in the New
Hebrides. All the islands are rich in
cocoanuts. The Miowara brings the
Information that news of another mas
| sacre has been received at Sydney.
Not long ago great numbers of Aus
| tralian's huge army unemployed were
attracted by stories of fabulous, gold
panning at Papau and other interior
New Guinea ports. Their ranks have
been terribly thinned by murder, STAR
walton and fatal swamp fever. To
make the matter worse, every native
who helped white men, was marked
for life with the tomahawk. A rem
nant of these white pioneers went to
Vahana for final effort to make their
fortunes. Their stores gave out and
foS months they lived on "damper"
and tea The natives of the vicinity
claimed to be i'll treated by the gov
eminent in scant stores and decided
to teach the government a lesson by
massacreing all the whites within their
reach. The whites were raided at
night and put to death with toma-
hawks. Many massacres have occur
red in the same place previously, but
the government never attempted to
punish the murderers. Later news
confirms the massacre, which occu-
rred IS miles from Port Moresby. The
entire settlement of natives and whites
had their heads split open by a large
band of savages. The government
has sent large body of military po-
lice to surround the natives and
shoot them if necessary. Wholesale
arrests will be made, and the natives
will be brought back manacled in a
