LONG CHASE BY DETECTIVES,
MURDERER HALF WAY RoUNI
THE WORLD.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Man In Chains
on the Portland and VIII Soon Be
Landed on the Coast-His Crime

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. A.-The
steamer Portland, due from st. Michaels,
has on board a murderer who was chased
by detectives half way around tine world.
He is in irons and under constant watch
of two Pinkerton detectives. The prisoner.
William Smith. was pursued over the
continent to Juneau, to Dyea and across
the Chilkoot pass, over the lakes and
down the rivers to the gold fields of Klon-
dixie, where he was taken into custody.
Smith was a store keeper in a town near
Cedar Rapids, Ia, UP 60 several months
ago. One night the store was burned,
and in the ruins was found the charred
body of a man. Smiths relatives claimed
that he was burned to death in the fire.
His life was insured for S35, 600 and a
demand was made for the money. An
investigation led to the belief that the
body was not that of Smith, but a watch
man The theory was at once advanced
that Smith had committed murder and
burned MS store in the hope that the
body would be roasted beyond recognition
and his relatives obtain the insurance
money after he had disappeared. Pinker-
ton men were put on the trail and after
one of the longest chaseS on record ar
rested Smith at Dawson City on July Il.
He was taken to ST. NIichaels to await
the sailing of the Portland.

Havana, Aug. 27.-The Diaro de Ia
Marina calls the mission of General
Stewart L. Woodford; the United States
minister to Spain, failure, and says:
Germany and France are entirely
hostile to American Intervention in
Cuban matters. England, skilled like
an old diplomat, is also evasive to
Woodford's insinuation, and he ex-
pressed no opinion regarding Cuban.
But Great Britain is fortifying Gu
ba and preparing against possible trou-
BILE with the United States owing to
American iingoism.''
The Diaro de Ia Marina then makes
fun of the American tourist minister,
visiting in Europe and sounding for
eign cabinets and meeting with failure,
so far as the Cuban policy is concerned.
The paper adds:
Spain, no matter whether she is
backed or not, viii not allow foreign in
PREVENTION into her affairs, and the in
| fatuated Yankees will not surely pro-
woke war which they know will only
end in total ruin to both sides.
War with the United States would
only raise Spain's patriotic enthusiasm,
and the people would confront the for
eigners as nation, while in the United
States it would prove only a preceding
panic to a coming catastrophe We
must. however, be glad that Ghe posi-
bility is past of an evil which we do
not fear, though we are not anxious
| that 1T should come upon u.s."
Reports have arrived from Cienfue-
COS to the effect that Lieutenant Jose
Alvarez Morales and three followers
have surrendered to the Spanish au-
thorities at Cienfuegos de Sapata.

CHANDELIERS VIEW OF IT.
Clause of the New Tariff Law Ex
planned.


Boston, Aug. 27.-In a letter TO the Her
aid published today Senator William e.
Chandler, explains the construction of
the clause of the new tariff law imposing
a 10 per cent extra duty ON all foreign
products coming through Canada, into the
United States. Senator Chandler holds
that the legislation was passed by writ
inc it as new matter into q conference
report where IT was adopted by both
houses of congress without being noticed
by more than those persons engaged in
the scheme. The senator points out that
the conference committee went beyond
their power when they inserted this i'm
pon-aat amendment into a cause for the
law, about only five words of which the
senate and house had d;sa greed.
The wording so much affects New Eng
land trade Senator Chandler says that
each one of THE senators and representa-
tives may be fairly called upon to Etate
what, if anything. he knew about 1T, and
why he did mo- expose and try 10 de-
feat it.
Continuing, Senator Chandler says:
For myself, I regret to say that l did
not NOTICE what the conferees had done.
Senator Cannon in open senate asked
whether they intended to do anything but
whether they intended ITO put any new
matter into the bill-and Senator Allison
replied emphaticaIly that of course they
did not.
Having had experience with confer
ence reports, which should have warned
me to read every word of this report /
have no excuse to offer for c<t doing 50.
l hope to be forgiven by my constituents
but shall never forgive myself"

Weber stake convened today at 10 o'clock
to hear the report of the stake presidency
in the trial of ISSUES between Ntahan Tan

and feed a COW for the use of his former
wife and his Children. He is not to SUP
port a child about IL years of age, which
belongs to the woman Ig former mar
rage she having been divorced from her
first husband
This is one of the principal modifca tons
of the decree of the bishop court. The
presidency decided that the preponderance
of evidence went to show that Mr., Tanner
was responsible for the support of the
matters in dispute were modified a little
in Mr.. Tanner s. favor. the amount of
money which he was to return to the

That gentleman was seen last night and
declined to talk of the case except to
say that ne had gained by this appeal.
but that he would still appeal to the
first presidency of the church. 1t is ex-
pected that the point of the. courts juris-

In case the findings are not obeyed and
no appeal is taken, the disobeying mem
