'Twere better far did they not git;
They had us then; they have us-nit.
A brace of prisoners took French
leave from the bull pen" in the mu-
nicipal court yesterday noon, and in
stead Of being on hand this morning
to be sentenced to the WOrkhOuse they
are congratulating themselves upon
their unexpected liberty. The officers
of the court are much chagrined over
the escape and made every effort to
keep the fact a secret.
When court adjourned after the
morning session the prisoners who had
already received sentence were put into
the workhouse van and sent out to
Como, while those yet to be tried were
taken over to the county jail. For
some reason John Kelly, alias Slattery.
who had been sentenced to sixty days
on the charge of disOrderly conduct,
and John Kevens, sentenced to ten
days in the wOrkhouse on the charge
of drunkenness, were not taken with
either consignment of prisoners, being
left to spend the noon recess in the
bull pen"
firing Of each others society or
court officials in leaving them without
any chance for dinner, Slattery and
Kevens pined for a change of scene
and incidentally free lunch. Securely
bolted doors, however, and strong iron
bars reaching from floor to ceiling Of
the "cage" prevented them from imme-
diately mingling with their fellow citt-
zens on the outside, but an investiga-
ton of their quarters showed the pris-
oners possible means Of escape. On
the top cross piece of the iron bars
were a number of spikes about six
inches apart, reaching to within an inch
of the ceiling Slattery wanted to
climb through these, but Kevens would
not consent to such a plan for fear cf
tearing his clothes.
Touched by his companions regard
for his apparel Slattery made closer
inspection of their quarters and decided
that the difficulty in the way of free
dom could be obviated by breaking
the spikes off Both men Skinned up
the side of the cage and in short time
three of the spikes ratified on the floor
leaving a space about twenty inches
long by six inches high. Through this
opening the men Wriggled and let them
selves down to the floor The door open
ing into the court room, through which
they had passed an hour before, opened
to their buoyant touch like magic.
There was no reason why it should not
because it was unlocked. Like cOndi-
tions met the men at the door open
ing into the hallway, through which
they passed to the street. The escape
was discovered shortly before court re-
opened and the police notified, but no
trace of the prisoners has yet been
found.
Slattery was in custody for raising a
disturbance at the house of his brother-
in-la.w. at Fourth and KittsOn streets,
Monday night Kevens was arrested in
West st. Paul for drunkenness, being
found on the street in a half-clothed
condition by officer Zimmerman.

PREFERENTIAL DUTIES.
Canada May Not Be Able to Favor
England.

MONTREAL, April 27.-Considerable doubt
is being expressed as to the success OF the
effort of the new Liberal government to estab-
lish preferential trade with Great Britain.
The latter country has now most favored ma
tion' treaties with Germany, Belgium and
other countries which expressly provide that
in none of the colonies of Great Britain shall
the products of those countries be subject to
higher import duties than the product Of
the United Kingdom. The action OF the
Dominion government in making reduction
in the duties on goods coming from Great
Britain has accordingly already brought forth
a protest from those Of other countries.
The consuls in this city for Belgium, Ger
many and Switzerland stated today that un-
less the same rebate allowed on British goods
extended at once to the exports of their
countries they would report the fact to their
respective governments which would make i'm
mediate protest to the imperial government.
In event Of the British government being
thus forced to refuse the royal assent to the
new Canadian tariff bill, the old Conservative
tariff would come into force again, and all
duties collected under the new schedules
would be subject to readjustment according
to the old rates and considerable confusion
must necessarily ensue.
