SMUGCLERS FREE
Council of State Grants
PardonS to Four.
Crew and Cook of the Henrietta
Will Be Released
Today.

President Dole, Ministers Cooper
and Smith and Messrs. Naone, p L.
Jones. Winston, Ena, Wilder, Kane.
Mott, Phillips, Kennedy, Robinson and
G.. w. Smith, secretary, comprising the
Council of State, met yesterday after
w. Wheeler, ]. II. Brown, NJ. CARMEL,
members of the crew, and Hoye, cook OF
the Henrietta, who were convicted in
April, 1895, of importing opium, and
sentenced to pay a fine of $500 each
and undergo an Imprisonment of three
months at hard labor.
The petition was signed by T. Rain
Walker and others, and presented to
the Council by Minister Smith, who, in
reviewing the case, stated that Wheel
er is quite i'll. The petition set forth
the fact that the men shipped on the
schooner, believing she was going TO
Mexico, and that one of them was so
much under the influence of liquor at
the time that he had to be helped on
board the vessel. Mr.. Smith stated,
further, that the prison inspectors had
declined to act on the petition, because
they believed it was matter for the
Council to consider. The case had gone
to the Supreme Court, and the fact that
one Justice had filed a dissenting opin-
ion might have some weight in the pc
tition. The applications did not in
clude pardons for the captain or the
agent of the combination, and as their
sentence, under the poor debtors act
would expire July II, they are now
serving out their fine. The Executive
favored granting the pardon.
Mr. Kennedy said the petition was
dated January last. He would like to
know if the Executive thought they
would accept the pardon.
Mr. Smith replied that he was quite
sure of it. Mr.. Kennedy then said he
would favor it.
Mr. Ena wanted to know who would
support them after they were released.
The law stated that immigrants could
not land without having $50, and he be-
lieved the men should be obliged to
leave the country.
Mr.. Jones wanted to know whether
the men were shipped as regular sea-
men or on a lay. If the latter, then
they were as guilty as the master or
agent
Mr.. Smith read from the records of
the Supreme Court, showing the suit
for wages. From this, he considered
the men were sailors.
Mr. Jones then seconded Mr.. Ken
nedy's motion. Mr.. Winston seconded
Mr.. Ena's motion.
Mr.. Ena said his was not a motion.
only a suggestion. Mr.. Phillips said if
the men served their time they could
not be forced out of the country, and
he did not see why they should be if
pardoned.
Mr.. Smith said he had information
to the effect that the men would be
cared for and would leave the country.
Mr.. Ena again said that his was not
a motion; he merely asked for infor-
nation.
The petition was unanimously grant

PAVED WITH DIAMONDS.

The costliest macadam on record one
time paved the streets of Kimberley,
South Africa, says the Scientific Am
erican. This celebrated road bed was
studded with diamonds, and hundreds
of valuable gems were taken from it.
The South African diamond mines
were discovered accidentally 80 years
ago. A peddler, while hawking his
wares from farmhouse to farmhouse.
found a shining stone by the waysfde,
and thinking it might be of some value,
sent it in an open letter to a geologist,
who at once recognized it as a fine
diamond. The discovery became known
and the diamond fever broke out, valu-
able stones were taken out of the earth
and mining camp sprang up which
received the name of Kimberley. The
mining methods were primitive; water
was scarce, and the workmen instead
of washing the soil attempted to find
their diamonds in the dry earth. AS a
result many stones remained hidden in
the debris from the mines. The min
ing camp grew into the city of Kim
berley, with a municipal council, and
when it was determined to macadam-
ize the streets, the refuse from the dia-
mond mines was taken for the purpose.
The mines finally became too deep to
be worked without machinery, and
were bought up by companies of finan-
ciers. AS a result many workmen were
thrown out of employment. 1t was
then remembered that the town streets
contained diamonds. and the town
council was petitioned by the unem-
ployed to allow them to wash over
the macadam and recover the gems.
The petition was granted and the wash
yielded 100000 worth of diamonds
yearly. Some magnificent stones were
discovered, and the story is told that
in one instance gems worth $4,000
were found in II square yards Of the
street.

ANOTHER SINNER.
Judge Hart Would Have U. s.
ReckOned in.

MR.. EDITOR:-In this mornings is
sue of the Advertiser, when abiding
to the affairs of Greece and Turkey
and the "unchristianlike" action of the
Great Powers of Europe. you say
Turkish crimes will continue and Eu-
rope will look on complacently as US
ual" This is a most unwarrantable
and outrageous statement. That the
Powers of Europe have not seen their
way to stop the wretched and corrupt
governmental modes of Turkey is, APP
parently, only a similar condition, not
peculiar to them, but obtaining also in
connection with the great and also
Christian power of the United States.
Not only is this true, but it would al
most appear as though the American
reasons for calling the Sublime Porte
to a halt in it's atrocious proceedings
than have even the powers of Europe.
As there is a possibility that very
great many of us are not quite so we'll

statesmen of Europe, it may appear
that, the cause of truth would be equal
Iy served by stopping short of assert
ing that Turkish crimes will continue
and Europe will look on complacently,
as usual
In connection with the suggestion
that the United States have, equally
with Europe, cause for perhaps more
than verbal remonstrance, l would ask
your further courtesy for a quotation
from a letter addressed to the Hon.
John Sherman by the Rev. Cyrus Ham

gentleman says: THE Sultan his seen
that it is safe thing to perpetrate ev-

our own nation especially, have for two
years been giving the Sultan carte
blanche to do as he pleases; and his
pleasure is the determination of all
