Canoyas' Murderer Will Pay Penalty

Politics in Court.
Michele Angiolillo, the anarchist assassin
Of Premier Canovas del Castillo, was tried
by court marshal Monday at Vergara,
was found guilty and was sentenced tc
death. Angiolillo will be garrotted within
the prison.
| About 2n0 persons were present at the
trial. The vicinity of the prison was al
| most deserted, the public being apparent.

that the death penalty would follow the

dence of the crime.
The president of the court read the de-
clarations of eye witnesses, after which
the written statement of the prisoner was
read by the clerk of the court. An
gioIillo, in the course of the statement,
said that he left Foggia in October, 1896
and went to Marseilles and Barcelona,
where he took the name of Jose Santos.
At first he had no thought of becoming
an anarchist, but while at Coromina he
began to be interested in anarchist doc
trines. He then returned to Marseilles
and after his expulsion from that city
he went to Belgium and London, where
he passed most Of his time in the society
of anarchists.
When the execution took place at Bar
celona on May 4 of five of the anarchists
convicted of participating i'll the bomb
outrage at the feast of Corpus Christi,
he conceived the idea of assassinating
Canovas. Without seeking an accomplice
he proceeded to Spain and carried out the
resolution.
Angiolillo went on to say that the pas
sion for vengeance led him TO commit the
crime. AS he was unacquainted with the
manufacture of explosives he used the
revolver.
The public prosecutor described the
crime as premeditated murder" and
asked the court to impose the death
penalty. Lieut.. Gorria, whom the court
has assigned as counsel to Angiolillo,
argued that the prisoner was demented
at the time of the shooting and made a
strong appeal to the benevolence of the
judges.
While his counsel was presenting this
plea Angioillo listened in silente. Then
he asked permission to speak for himself
which was granted. He thanked Lieut.
Gorria for his efforts and denied that he
had any accomplices, or that he was an
accomplice of those who committed the
bomb throwing outrage at Barcelona, OF
that he had participated in secret gather
ings of anarchists. When he began to dis
cnss anarchist theories the president of the
court interrupted him and threatened te
stop him if he pursued that line of remarI
or : touched upon any matters not con
cerned with the trial.
Anglo lilo persisted il speaking of poll
tics and of the wars in Cuba and the
Philippines: The president said: "Al
that has nothing to do with your cirme. y
Angiolillo replied: II must justify my

Fields.
WITHOUT AN IDEA HOW TO
REACH THEM.

Expect To Learn Upon Reaching Juneau
But Hero They Are Even More Con-
fused-Five Hundred Pack Animals
En- Route for Dyea.
San Francisco, August 16.-Mr. Thomas
Magee, well known as conservative
business man and q successful observer,
who accompanied his son to Dyea, writes
to the Associated Press from that point
to the effect that the ingorance displayed
by the crowds who are focking to the
Klondike fields is lamentable. Of the four
hundred passengers who sailed with him
on the steamer George Elder, half Of
whom were from San Francisco, not c1e
in twenty had any definite information
as to how to reach his destination. While
the routes were well known, the details
and conditions to be met are not con-
sidered, most of the searchers for wealth
hoping to settle all doubts and uncer-
tainties when they should reach Juneau.
Instead, however, further confusion was
created by the appalling statements that
there were only two routes, each of which
necessitated the encounter of almost in
surmountable difficulties. There was
plenty advocates for both routes at
Juneau, but most of them were found to
be interested parties. The two starting
points, Dyea and Skaguay are separated
by four miles of salt water.
The Dyea trail goes over the Chilcoot
pass and involves climb of $500 feet,
while the other, which is not yet COM
pleted has 2350 foot climb over the white
pass, and besides being six miles longer
is boggy in places. The Indians who are
the sole packers, all pack over the Chilcoot
pass from Dyea. Nearly 500 pack animals
are now en- route and on arrival will be
pressed into regular pack trains which
will remove the chief obstacle for the

Telling Effect on strike-WiId Disorder
at Greensburg.
Pittsburg, August 16.-Today was
fraught with exciting incidents in
matters pertaining to the miners strike.
Mutiny in the strikers camp, murder
in the deputies ranks, filing of criminal
and civil suits against the De Ar1nitts
and the hearing in the injunction case
against President Dolan and Others kept
both sides to the struggle busy and on the
qui vive all day long.
The hearing in the injunction case be-
fore Judges Stowe and Collier was per-
haps one of the most important and in
teresting ever held in Pennsylvania
court, and the decision is expected to
have a telling effect on the conduct of the
great coal miners strike which has been
o n since July 5.
Judge Stowe said this evening: 'This
injunction will not justify the issuing Of
an attachment against any marchers who
are not found in company with the men
named in the INDUCTION.

Isolation this afternoon, Deputy Sheriff
Carr was fatally shot by Captain Ander-
son. Anderson fled after the shooting

disorder prevailed in the vicinity of Her
menie and the Ocean Coal company's s

the miners at Hermenie out. About 175
men quit work about three O'Clock.
Hazelton, Pa, August 16.-The $500
miners who went on strike today at o
meeting tonight resolved in a body to
stand together. Apart from the wage
question the men demand the discharge
or transfer of Superintendent Jones and
the feeling against him is so strong that
he moved about with an armed escort
and his house is guarded day and night.
Pittsburg, August 16.-InaEaddition to
the civil suits entered against President
W. P. De Armitt, by his former employees
for wages, Mrs. Annie Crotoe, who was
evicted on Saturday by Samuel De
Armitt, brother of the president, has
brought a criminal suit charging assault
and battery. She says in her charge that
her husband was not at home and De
Armitt took her by the shoulders and
threw her out of the house. She says he
held hatchet above her head and
threatened to kill her. Her two children

A laska, assigned to St. Michaels, has
sent to the Interior Department the fol
lowing report on the gold rush in letter
dated Dyea, Alaska, August 4:
There are nearly 1900 people in Dyea
and Skagaway routes and both trails are
blocked. People are throwing away. their
packs and provisions and rushing head
long to the mines. Great distress, hard
ship and suffering and possible death
from hunger and exposure is sure to
follow next winter, an opinion that is
entertained by all old Alaska prospectors
who have visited that part of the world in
late years and know the situation.

During the war Mr. Gary was loyal
to the Union. He has always been a
stanch Republican and prominently
identified with the interests of his party.
The elder Gary was an extensive manu-
facturer Of cotton duck, the business Of
fees and warehouse being located in
Baltimore. In 1861 James A. Gary was
admitted to the firm, and the business
was conducted under the name James
S. Gary q Son. The active influence of
the new member was soon felt, and the
growth and prosperity of the business
were most marked. In 1862 a branch
house was opened in st. Louis, which
gave the concern a footing in the west
that proved most profitable. In 1870
James A. Gary succeeded his father in
business, and during the 20 years that
have elapsed since he assumed control
the business has continued to prosper.
Among the business men of Baltimore
he has gilt edged" standing that is
only to be attained by years of business
probity and proved stability
For several years Mr. Gary was presi-
dent of the Merchants and Manufactur-
ers' ass0ciatIOn. He is now vice presI-
dent of the Consolidated Gas company
and vice president of the Citizens Ma
tional bank. He also holds directorships

achieved in the political field. In 1870
the Republicans nominated him for con-
gress in the Fifth district. AS the entire
state of Maryland was at that time
largely Democratic it was foregone
conclusion that he would be defeated
When nominated for governor, in 1879,
his very handsome vote was overcome by
the same expected Democratic majority.
Mr.. Gary has been delegate to every
national convention of his party since
1872, and from 1880 to 1896 has repre-
sented Maryland on the Republican ma
tional committee.
The home life of Mr.. Gary has been
quiet and happy. In 1856 he was mar
ried to Miss Lavinia W. Corrie, daugh-
ter Of James Corrie, a highly respected
citizen. Seven daughters and one son
were the fruits of this union. The son,
E. Stanley Gary, is now junior partner
in the old firm.

company until the position of assistant
cashier Of the First National bank was
offered him. He has been with the latter
institution ever since. In time he be-
came vice president and afterward presi-
dent of this great banking institution.
1t was the public record of Mr.. Gage
in his successful efforts to allay the dis
content and rioting Of 1887 that gave
him his greatest prestige. He was q
wonderful harmonizer. In those days of
panics and disaster he called meetings
of laborers and capitalists, some of
which were held in his own parlors,
and got them to confer together and set
tie upon modes of procedure that would
ease the friction between the classes.
1t was to Mr.. Gage also that the sue
cess Of the Worlds fair was largely at
tributable. He was its first president
and its strongest hacker. He it was also
who began the fight for it's location, and
it would certainly have gone somewhere
else but for his untiring efforts.

He therefore returned to Boston, later
removing to the town of bingham. Here
in 1869 he became interested in politics
and went before the people as Republic
an candidate for member of the legisla-
ture from the Second Plymouth district.
His election followed In 1876 he was
reelected to the house and was after
ward chosen speaker. In this position he
was very popular, and his reflections
in 1877 and 1878 We're by such great
majorities as to surprise everybody.
In 1878 he was elected lieutenant gov
ernor of Massachusetts, and in 1879 he
was chosen governor by a plurality of
more than 1900 votes and in 1880
was reelected by plurality of $4,000
votes. This extraordinarily large vote
was regarded as an ovation.
After he had, by election and re-elec-
ton, served as governor until January,
1883, he was elected to the Forty eighth
congress. He was returned to his seat in
the lower house for two more terms
the Forty ninth and Fiftieth congresses.
After his decision to retire from public
life he returned to the practice of the
law, wherein his success has been phe-
nomenal.
