The general is opposed to the gov

regard to the Union Pacific is of the
opinion that something must be done

approve of the government taking over
che road. If it did SO. he thinks the
rates OF transportation would be higher
than they are today. Government
ownership might be all right in an au-
tccratic country ike Russia, but would
never do in 4 democratic country IKE
ours. The government could gain pos
session of the Union Pacific only by
paying the first mortgage bonds, which
money. The governments claim is only

ha.lowed person. blount John Bull se-
riousiy asks himself whether these
young people have not altogether lost
their wits. Indeed. The Saturday Re
view today builds up an argument that
William the Witless,' as ii used to
mad. and 1t is certainly to be remem-
bered that, by the unalterable eti-
Quette OF the German court, the EN-
peror must himself have read Prince
Henry's words beforehand
ITO closer students OF European af-
fairs, however, there seems much
method in his madness The average
'Engiishman who is laughing loudly to-
day, probably will be puzzling his
brains next week as to whether the
German craze for naval power Is not
a thing to be reckoned with Tt may
have been more than mere joke when
in talking to Count Zighy, the emperor
said: You should visit China; by the
time You get there you will find Prince
Henry emperor of China Why should
India for Germany in China as a
means of imperial aggrand izement
and of averting the social revolution
threatened at home? The Spectator di-
aates on this view today and is quite
prepared, perhaps, even to welcome
the German emperor as the acknOwl-
edged master and opener to civilization
and foreign trade of the richest, best
populated and quietest section of the

Shot by Insurgents

Havana. December 1S.-!The news tele-
graphed to the United States via Key
West that Lieutenant Colonel Joaquin
Ruiz has been shot by Aranguren lacks
confirmation. Ruiz. an aid de camp of
Marshal Blanco, was recently sent to
confer with the insurgents.
Colonel Ruiz proceeded into THE country
on Monday last, having previously writ
ten a letter to Aranguren. Tonight a con-
sular employe, Senior TOsca, who had
been commanded by United States Con-
sui General Lee to make inquiries, re-
turned from Campo FIOrido three leagues
distant from the insurgent encampment
at Tumba Cua,tro. He says he met out
posts of Aranguren's force and that the
chief of the party confirmed the report
THAT on his arrival Colonel Ruiz was met
by Aranguren and an escort of twelve
men, who received him warmly. Ruiz
urged the party to accept autonomy and
congratulated himself that he would in
duce them to return with him to Ha-
vana The insurgents in camp had not
been prepared for the visit by Aranguren
and, seeing Ruiz in his uniform and
learnintg the object of his visit, they de-
tnanded the application of the procla-
nation of Gomez and Rodriguez, which
orders the inf1iction of the death penalty
afpon all persons who attempt to induce
chiefs of the rebellion to surrender. In
compliance with their demands a court
martial was formed and the sentence of
death WAS passed upon Ruiz. Senior
Tsosca adds that Aranguren stood aloof
during the trial and allowed the death
sentence to be carried out. Colonel Ruiz
was executed With a mtachete.

ernOr's Action In tho Swap OF Onices BY

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, n. c.. December 1s.-It is as
certained from a republican member
OF the board OF agriculture that the
governor told the board that Superin-
tendent Smith, of the penitentiary. was
SO magnanimous he was unqualified to
govern convdcts and so good natured
that he allowed friends to impose upon
him; that hheproved inefficient as COM
missioner of agriculture the board of
agriculture could at once remove him;
that he was disgusted with Smiths
management of the penftentfary, and
yet he could not remove him as super
fntendent without preferring charges
and proving them before the directors;
that he regarded the duties of COM
missioner of agriculture as nominal
and that official as a figure head. An
other republican member Of the board
of agriculture says the governor is
bound to provide in some way during
his term for Smith. The governor has
in fact evaded the responsibility for
ousting Smith and put it upon the agri-
cultural board. That is the whole Sc
cret.

rants Property

The Authorities Refuse to Surrender Dur
rants Property
San Francisco, December 18.-William
"A. Durrant, the father OF the con-
demned murderer of blanche Lamont,
called at the district attorneys office
today and asked to see Mr.. Barnes.
That gentleman was not in, but his
chief assistant, Mr.. Walter Blair, was,
and to him Mr.. Durrant, ST., addressed
himself. He said that now that the
Blanche Lamont murder trial was over
and the judgment affirmed, with no
possibility Of it's ever again finding its
way into the courts he supposed the
police department had no further use
for the prisoners personal effects,
(which have been in keeping of the pro-
perty clerk since April IA. 1895. His
reason for the request, he said, was the
fact that he needed money and could
turn the effects to some account. Mr..
Blair assured him that the district at
torney would certainly not grant such
a request until the cases were finally
disposed of by the execution of the
prisoner or otherwise.
The real motive for Durrant's request
was the topic Of discussion in the dis
'trict attorneys office for an hour after
ward. The concensus OF opinion ap-
peared to be that Durrant was actu-
ated by one Of two motives. One was
to trust to luck in the Blanche Lamont
case and remove from sight the dang
erous EXHIBITS in case the Minnie Will
liams case should go on trial; the
other, to act on the dime museum prin-
cipal and realize considerable money
by auctioning Off the young murderer's S
effects as curios. 'fMr. Durrant came
to me about the clothes said Judge
Bahrs, 'fbut would not sign his order. -
