The visit to tn. Jail.

Deputy Sheriff Kelly had been ex.
pecting visitors, and at 3 O'Clock when
there was rap at the outer door Of the
Jail he arose quickly and turned the
key in the lock, thinking that the per.
sons he expected to meet had arrived.
No sooner had he opened the door than
the members Of the mob crowded into
the small Jail corridor. All Of them
were masked and the leaders carried
ropes, purchased new for the occasion.
The lynchers were quiet but deter.
mined. The leader presented . revol.
YER at the head of the deputy sheriff
and told him they wanted his prisoners,
and demanded that he open the cells in
which hey were confined. Kelly saw

ADMINISTRATION ATTITUDE.

Reciprocity Must Be Negotiated, II at All,
on Broad Lines.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 18.-The attitude
Of the administration towards the sub.
ject Of reciprocity with Canada is
probably disclosed in the following
statement Of a government official:
"The task Of the government would
be made easier il the statesmen in con.
gress would be controlled by the inter.
ests Of the country at large. Some of
them unfortunately confine their views
to particular concession to be obtained
from foreign country for q local in.
terest, and then desire our compensa-
tory concession to be made not by their
own but by some other locality. They
make Of reciprocity a series of ques.
tions to be settled in the interest of
particular districts. We may be able
to secure arrangements which will add
millions to
Our National Export Trade;
and yet it might be defeated by com.
bination Of a few minor local interests,
not amounting to a million. Yet reci.
procity means mutual concession; with.
out this nothing can be accomplished.
We must give market II we acquire
one-not necessarily free market, but
an accessible market. Take coal for an
illustration. By giving access to the
New England coast, we might gain &C.
cess (perhaps control) in the coal mar.
ket Of all Central Canada, with mutual
advantages by reason Of geographical
and transport conditions. It is the
same with other articles of commerce,
where long water transportation is bal.
anced against short railway carriage.
In some things we can acquire
An Almost Exclusive Market,
greatly increasing our exports, in ex.
change for market open only to the
competition Of the other party. Soft is
with some phases Of the question Of
logs and coarse Lumber against manu-.
facturers of wood. Whenever we en-.
large the market Of manufactures we
inevitably enlarge the demand for our
raw material from which they are
made, and this tends to increase tho
price paid to the original producer.
The advantages Of increased trade are
widely distributed. In the major Dor.
ton Of commercial exchange this coun.
try is in the exceptional condition Of
producing a surplus both Of raw ma
terial and Of the manufactured prod.
ucts. Our policy must take into view
this situation, although it increases our
difficulty in negotiations which shall
satisfy every interest. All that can be
hoped for lisa result which, in the aggre.
gate. shall be clearly advantageous to
the nation as Q unit"

the interstate commerce commission
will give hearing to the railroads that
have petittoned for an extension Of the
time In which to equip their freight
cars and locomotives with automatic
brakes and car couplers under the law
Of 1893. The law, with its penalties
and fines, is to become operative Jan. /,

the authority granted to it by the law
to give an extension Of time. There
seems to be little doubt but that the
commission will extend the time. 4"

Henry Sherry, one of the greatest

interests in nearly every northern
county. gave up the fight against bust.
ness misfortunes and the shrinkage Of
assets and credits due to hard times,
and has assigned all his vast properties
for the benefit Of his creditors. The
assignee is James w. Cameron Of Mil.
waukee, formerly associated with Mr..
Sherry at Vesper. Wis. Some Of the
creditors preferred 8. A. Cook, the
Neenah ex.congressman, but Mr.. Cam.
eron was Mr.. sherry's choice. For
three or four years Sherry has been
sailing close to the lee shore Of bank.

Kept Him Above Water
and maintained his credit was his veri.
fed assertion that there was not "a
scratch Of the pen" against his property.
A couple Of days ago, however, deeds
that had been held back were fled
against the postofice block in Neenah,
owned by him, and the storm de.
scended. Some Of the banks Of this
city demanded security, and to save his
estate being wasted by attachments
Sherry took the step indicated above.
The assignment may effect several cor.
porations in which Sherry is interested.
Mr.. Sherry estimates his debts and
those Of associate companies as some.
thing less than el,000, 900. He esti.
mates that his assets and those Of the
associate companies are sufficient to
pay all the liabilities If judioiously

victed on the unsupported evidence Of
two others, who were confessed muir.
derers, and in the face Of the strongest
kind Of an alibi by Dr.. Ross, agency
physician Of Standing Rock, whose

A further fact is that the two self.oon.

Phillip Ireland and Paul Holy Track,
had made two previous confessions, In
neither Of which did they impNcate
Coudot. The lynohing Of the two con.
fessed murderers may not be 20 repre-.
hensible, but there is no question what.
ever but they would have hung for
their crime had the law been allowed
to take its course. But the lynching Of
Coudot was as foul q murder, as unjus.

the spicer family. Coudot was only q

they were saved from the same fate by
