WILL BE HUNG UP.
Republican jealousy and Dem
ocratic Hatred Oppose the
Treaty.

Washington, D. G., Jan. II
1t is now apparent that the
arbitration treaty which Cleve
land and Olney consummated
with England will be hung. up.
The senate has been consider
ing the latter for several days
at odd times, and the senators
have been busy talking it over
among themselves rep
ublicans while notsso adverse to
the treaty, do not want the
credit of having made it go to
the present administration, and
they want to delay it tilt Nc
Kinley comes into power. Sher-
mau will be secretary of state,
aud he is anxious to close his
public life with such a treaty
to his cre1it. The democrats
in the senate. at least that
element of them known as the
silyer..democrats. hate the pres
ident so much that they are
glad to become the catspaw of
the republicans if it will de-
tract or take away from Cleve-
land any credit. That is the
situation of the treaty. The
reasons given by the republic
ans for their desire for delay in
accepting or ratifying the treaty
is that the present one gives
a way our Monroe doctrine
and that we have much the
worst end of the bargain. But
the whole truth is that they
want their party TO have the
prestige OF making some such
treaty with England. Sherman
is at the head of the committee
on foreign relation in the sen
ate. and it is sure thing that
he will do nothing to bring
about at present that which he
wants to bring about as the
secretary of state.

BROWNSVILLE. TEXAS
MONDAY. JAN. Is, 1897.
ELECTIBG Il PRESIDENT

LIZ Y III G Il HhENLUENJ
Though every man who voted
the republican ticket on the
3rd. of November last would
have declared that be was vot-
ing for Major VIM. Kinley
for president, yet in reality
Mckinley was not voted for as
president of these United States
until last Monday, Jan. 18th
when the presidential electors
met in the varioua state capt.
tails and cast their respective
votes. And even though it has
been known since a few DAYS
after the general election last
November exactly how these
electoral votes would be cast,
yet they will not be officially
counted and the result officially
declared until Monday, Febru
ary 10, less than a month be
fore the Inauguration. The
constitution leaves it to con
gress TO determine the day on
which the presidential electors
shall give their votes. The law
of 1915 provided that the elect
ors for each state should meet
and give their votes the first
Wednesday of December. This
date stands in the Revised
Statutes, edition of 1878.
The law of 1916, however,
has been superseded by the act
OF February 8, 1887, which
will be found in volume of the
supplement of the Revised Stat
rtes on page 525, This provides
that the electors of each state
shall meet and give their votes
the second Monday in January.
next following their appoint
ment, at such place in each
state as the legislature of such
state shall direct.
The certified returns for each
State are transmitted by mes
senger to the president of the
senate, or to the Secretary of
state, in case the president of
the Senate is not in Washing
ton. On the second Wednesday
in February at one o'clock, the
two houses meet in joint ses
zion in the hall of the house
of representatives. The pres
ideni of the senate opeus the
certificates, and after the votes
are counted by tellers, two for
the senate and two for the
house, the result is declared by
the president of the senate
Then, and not until then, will
Maj. Mckinley and Sir. Hobart
be elected.
Technically and theoretically
there is nothing TO prevent tue
AT presidential electors from
voting unanimously for John
Smith of Oshkosh.

DEATH AND DISASTER.
Terrible Railroad Collision Occurs
in Wisconsin,.

Hudson, Wis, June 9.-Five men
were instantly killed and four were
badly injured by collision on the
Omaha railroad near Hudson junction
this afternoon. The trains were run
ming at a high rate of speed, and a
sharp curve afforded the crews no pos
sible escape. The way freight, west
bound, was running at the rate of 1S
miles an hour, when, upon nearing a
sharp curve on down grade, it came
upon work train backing east at a
speed of 35 miles an hour.
The collision was something terrific.
On the rear of the work train was the
boarding car, in which were four men
belonging to the work crew. They
were never aware of their danger, and
were undoubtedly instantly killed.
The car took fire, and three bodies were
burned in the wreck. The fireman of
the work train was instantly killed, but
the body was recovered. Both engines
were totally wrecked.
The wreck was caused by the DISC
bedience of orders by Engineer James
Owens, of the work train, and the con-
ductor, who were given right-of-way
for the west-bound track. They forgot
their orders, and took the ast-bound
track. and did not discover their error
until too late. Owens is nearly crazy,
and a guard has been placed over him.
The damage is estimated at $50, 200.

His Escape.
Tacoma, June S.-A special to the
Ledger from Everett says: Late Satur.
day night, Marshal Chapman and Po-
Hceman Marshall were notified that
robber was attempting to enter the store
of L. q. Metzger. Together with M.
j. Gillespie, they watched the burlgar
until he had broken into the store and
then attempted to surround and arrest
him. Marshal Chapman went to the
back door and Policeman Marshall, fol-
lowed by Gillespie, entered the. front
door. When the two men were close
upon the burlgar, he heard the foot
steps, and, thrusting revolver in the
face of Gillespie, he fired. The shot
entered Gillespie's mouth, breaking
four OF his teeth, tore his tongue and
fractured his jawbone. A second shot
from the gun of the burglar whizzed
past Gillespie's head and third shot
struck him in he fieshy part of the
right leg. As the robber passed GILL
espie, he fred at Policeman Marshall,
the bullet lodging in the officers right
forearm. The burglar then. made his
way across lots and escaped to the tim
Der. Marshall Champman hurried to
the front of the store, upon hearing the
firing, but did not reach the scene in
time to intercept the burglar.

worden Also Respited.

Sacramento, CAL, June 7.-Warden
Aull, of Folsom prison, telephoned this
evening that he had received tele-
graphic message from the attorney
general, advising him not to proceed
with the hanging of Worden. Worden
had been found.guilty of trainwrecking.
The encouragement said that his
written opinion would reach Folsom
tomorrow by mail. Acting upon this
advice, the execution will not take place
as intended. Warden AulI says that
he has notified Worden, and has had
the gallows taken down. The law un-
der which Worden is permitted thus to
extend his lease of life, the warden
says, was passed by congress during
the reconstruction days, in order to
make it possible in certain cases to
reach the federal supreme court over
the head Of the state courts in the
South. If it were a matter, he says,
IN which the issue did not involve hu-
man life, he would probably test its
legality, but in this case, as state
official, he will be governed by the ac-
tion of the attorney general. AS the
OAAA w. OeeseSO 81 ~ OhO SOu4 Will AOt
meet until October, Worden will have
at least several months longer on earth.
Salter Worden was delirious with
JOY when he learned this evening that
he was not to be hanged tomorrow.
At first the announcement dazed him,
and then he rose on his trembling legs
and thanked Warden Aull for the good
news. The condemned man said that,
while he was prepared to go bravely to
the gallows, he felt all along that some
thing would be done to save him.
The announcement of the stay, he said,
made him more nervous than if he
would have been standing ON the gall
lows. All the preparations for his
hanging had been completed. Worden
has been returned to his cell in MUIR

Fatal Boiler Explosion.

Mexico City, June "a boiler ex.
ploded this morning in the print works
of Norcega Bros, in Puebla, causing
the death of so or more persons, the
number not being positively known, as
it has been impossible to remove the
debris caused by the explosion. A
part of the boiler was carried high in
the air, and precipitated on the roof of
a house in the neighborhood, killing an
old man and three children. An iron
beam from the works was hurled
through the roof of another house, car
rying away part of the front wall and
balcony. A fireman three blocks from
the scene of the explosion had his head
completely torn off. Troops are now
on the spot, and laborers are searching
for the remains.

County Attorney Porter Alleges Tha
Agent Stouch Is Thwarting the Eff
forts of the Civil Authorities.
Denver, Col, June 8.-A special to
the Rocky Mountain News from Miles
City, Mont, says:
The rumor sent abroad that settlers
We're returning with their families to
/ their homes is not true. About sc
! families, refugees from the Indians, are
still in this city, and others are coming
In daily. As many as seven and eight
families are huddled together in one
cottage with no thought of returning to
their homes while the Indians are off
their reservation.
A school teacher, who had been
teaching on Otter creek, near the reser-
vatlon, and about go miles from here,
arrived last evening, having ridden the
entire distance on bicycle in one day.
She reports seeing several small bands
of Indians prowling among the hills on
foot. Over 200 Indians are off the
reservation, scattered in small bands
roaming through the hills and commit
ting depredations, and devouring every
thing in their line of march. There
are said to be 1900 Indians on the
reservation. The dance houses donated
: to the Indians some time ago by Cap
tain Stouch and others, will be torn
down and the large drum taken away
from them, and all "bad medicine''
made hereafter will have to be made in
the open air.
Sheriff Glib and Stock Inspector
Smith leave tomorrow for the scene of
the trouble, with warrants properly
executed for the arrest of White Bull,
Yellow Hair and Sam Crow. Sheriff
Glib says he is confident that Captain
Stouch, the agent, will cooperate with
him in the arrest of the men.
The following message was sent to
Senator Carter tonight by County At
torney T. ]. Porter:
agent Stouch yesterday turned over
Stanley, but he has not secured any
evidence against him, and seems de-
termined to keep the sheriff from MAX
ing any investigation. Five other In
dlans are suspected, and vigorous
efforts to secure evidence should be put
forth. Stouch absolutely refuses to CO.
operate with the sheriff in securing
evidence, and is delaying and thwart-
ing the sheriff in every possible man
ner. Thursday he again ordered the
sheriff's deputies off the reservation.
Indians claim to the sheriff that Stouch
agreed to accept the surrender of Stan
ley in full satisfaction of the murder.
Stouch is certainly inefficient, and I
therefore urgently request that he be
instructed to cooperate
with the sheriff in securing evidence
against all these murderers and urge
that he be replaced by some competent
man." .-'F's

Torpedo Boats Speed

New York, June 8.-The United
States torpedo-boat Porter came out OF
the drydock yesterday with new paint
on her bottom, which had been swept
bare within three weeks by friction
with the water, occasioned by her re-
markable speed. Her final trial is un-
derstood to have been fixed for Tues
day. Today, Lieutenant Fremont, in
command, took her down around Scot
land hgntship and back again. The
stretch from the battery to Scotland
lightship.is is 81 miles, the round trip is
AZ miles, and the time in which the
Porter travelled this distance was one
hour and so minutes, and she did it
easily, for at no time was more than
200 pounds of steam pressure developed,
and that for only, a short time.

Orient under special charter to the

OF $500 tons, consisting principally of
new tea and curios. After discharging
her cargo here, the Hupeh leaves for
San Francisco, and will then return

the Philippine islands, on their last
trip, British resident informed them
that the Spanish government had cap
utred 25 Roman Catholic priests, sup
posed to be in sympathy with the
rebels, and had roasted them like
sucking pigs. They also state that the
rebels, being short of ammunition, are
using cocoanuts for cannon balls, with
which they are committing great havoc
among the Spanish troops.

Cyclist Killed While Racing.

Providence, R. l., June 9.-Arthu1
Lahiff, cyclist, while racing against
an electric car, met tragic death.
just outside the Rogers Williams Park
the roadway is quite steep. Trolley
cars are in the habit of bowling down
the incline at high rate of speed, and
many cyclists have tried to beat them
in races. Last evening when a car
headed down the hill Lahiff was along
side. He was measured up by the mo-
torman for race and the contest began
in earnest. Suddenly Lahiff was seen
to tumble and make complete somer-
sault over his handlebars. He struck
with great force while going at his fast
est clip, and his neck was broken.
