WOrden Also Resnited.

Sacramento, CAL, June 7.-Warden
Aull, of Folsom prison, telephoped 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 Aull saws 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. II it were matter, he saws.
IN which the issue did not involve hu-
man life, he would probably test its
legality, but in this case, AS a state
oiiclai, ne VIII DE governed by the ac-
ton of the encouragement. AS the
United States supreme court will not
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 tc
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 gal
lows. All the preparations for his
hanging had been completed. Worder
has been returned to his cell in mur
derers' row.

Kavalof on Trial.

Odessa, Russia, June 7.-Feodore
havalotf, chief actor in the immuring
tragedy at Tirespol, has arrived here
Tor trial. On his premises were recent
~ discovered six bodies of persons who
had been buried alive, and he confessed
that he walled up in his cellar nine liv-
ing persons, including his wife and two
children. They all belonged to fanat-
zeal sect known as Raskoi Mkt and
sought salvation by self-immolation.
kavaloff declares that all the victims
died voluntarily. He drew lots with a
co-fanatic to decide who should actual
~ bury the victims. He earnestly
desired to be buried alive himself and
is still impelled by fanatical desire
to commit suicide.

EXTENSION OF TRADE.
Some Addresses Made at the CONNER.
cial Congress.


Philadelphia, June AT the com.
mercial conference today, Mr.. Robert. |
son, of Mexico, said, in the course Of
an address, that the reason her ma
jesty's United Kingdom controls sol
much of the trade of the various cOun
tries is because she subsidies steam
ship lines and sends her emissaries Of
trade to the remotest parts of the earth
and says: 81 want to buy what you
have to sell and want to sell you some
thing" Continuing, Mr.. Robertson
said:
THE products of the Central and
South American states will never be
brought here until you provide some
way to transport that which you wish
to sell, and provide some way to bring
back that which your neighbors through
the South have to sell. They want to
buy from you and they want TO inter
change their products.
Capatin Garcia, of Rio Janeiro, stated
that at the banquet last night he had
presented somewhat lengthy letter
to President Mckinley, and that dis
tinguished gentleman had informed him
he would forward a reply as early as
possible. The letter asks the American
government to develop, by means OF
congressional action, a system of navi.
CATION between Brazil and the United
States. Captain Garcia said it was
also his intention to propose plan for
the establishment of an international
banking system between the countries,
which will enable us to do business
with each other without beiRg COM
PEELED to pay commission to England,
as is the case at present."

CURRENCY Reform Next.

Chicago, June IA Chronicle spe-
cial from Washington says: 1t is an
nounced semiofficially that congress
will not Immediately adjourn after the
passage of the tariff bill. The Repub-
hcan managers have decided in accord
ance with the wishes of the admins
tration that they will attempt to pass
currency reform measure as soon as
the tariff question is out of the way.
1t is contended that the statement re-
Gently made by Secretary Gage that
something would be done by the pres
ent congress for the improvement of
our finances was not an idle suggestion,
but one which embodied the views of
the administration and leading Repub-
licans of congress.
1t is also stated, however, that all
the president desired from the present
session of congress is authority to ap-
point a currency commission, whose
members shall be directed to report at
the regular session in December FEAST
BILE plan for placing the national finan-
ances on a sound substantial and endur-
ing basis.

RIOT IN AN ALASKA TOWN.
Drunken Indians Attempted to Clean
Out Sum Dun.


Port Townsend, Wash, June T.
The steamer Al XII arrived from Alaska
last night. She brings news of riot
at Sum Dunn, a small town 100 miles
south of Juneau, last Monday morning.
The Indians managed to procure enough
whisky to get the whole tribe drunk,
and their murderous proclivities were
forthwith made manifest as they pro-
ceeded to clean out the village, smash
ing windows and breaking down doors,
Captain HOwes' store particularly being
the object of ther fun.
Jack McDougall and Jack Arvey, of
Juneau, were there by chance, and as
the row grew furious they with one or
two others secured stout clubs and in a
short time had a number of very sore.
headed savages tanned down to state
of repentant docility. Three of the
leaders were tied hand and foot and
locked up in cabin near at hand until
sobered up, and no further trouble is
apprehended. The white man who no
doubt furnished the whisky was ordered
away from the village and peace is
again restored.
The Germania saloon at Juneau was
entered by thieves and robbed of $50
in cash Saturday night.
Memorial day was appropriately OBJ
served at Juneau, all business being sus-
pended for the day. Seventeen old
soldiers are buried in Juneau cemetery.
A rich mineral strike has been made
at Yankee Cove. Assays have been
made of 50-pound samples taken from
dozen different places, which show
splendid results, the rock ranging from
$S to $464 in gold to the ton and aver
aging $l30 to the ton of selected quartz.
The steamer Bertha, which arrived
at Juneau from Cooks Inlet the day be-
fore the Al-Ki sailed for the Sound, re-
ports that party of three, George
Bottcher, Charles Blackstone and j. w.
Molinque, who crossed the portage to
catch the first dora, remain unheard
from, though numerous parties have
prosecuted a vigorous search for the
missing men. Moinque has a family
residing somewhere in Washington.
Blackstone leaves a wife at Sunrise
City, and his l0-year-old daughter, who
is attending school at Seattle. The
men had been missing for seven weeks
when the Bertha left the inlet.

LYNCHED BY A MOI.
a.itchel1, the Urbana Fiend. Suffers
Death for His Crime.

Columbus, O., June IA special to
the Dispatch from Urbana, o., says:
Click Mitchell, the negro brute, has
paid the penalty of his foul crime with
his life. An outraged people have
taken the law into their own hands,
meted out the punishemnt he so richly
deserves and obeyed the command and
wish of his PROSTATE, and, as an
nounced, dying victim. The sensa-
tional and unfortunate events of the
night intensified the feeling against
Mitchell, if it were possible, and the
determination had been general that
the brute should never leave the town
alive.

The Crime and Its Results.

Urbana, O., June 7.-Never was
there such tragedy in this city as
that enacted at $3.50 this morning. Two
men lay dead and six seriously wound
ed, with one more that may die. Since
the deplorable shooting the people are
standing around the corners sadly and
seriously discussing the awful and APP
palling tragedy.
When the shooting occurred an at
tempt was being made by mob to en-
ter the Jail from the rear. The militia
were in the hall on the second floor,
and standing at the windows. Hig.
gins, of West Liberty, and another man
had sledge hammers in their hands and
had broken the glass in the door lead
ing to the hall from which the Jail is
entered. Suddenly the militia opened
fire without warning, and Higgins fell
back with the exclamation: "My God,
am shotr' Then followed the scene
of death and destruction that brought
others down. The panic-stricken citi-
but Mitchell"
The city of 5000 inhabitants is an
unusually orderly one. With its col
leges it has always had the highest
reputation, but pandemonium reigned
last night.
Recently Mrs. Eliza Gaumer, the
widow of the late publisher of the Ur-
bana Democrat, was criminally as
saulted by Charles Mitchell, alias
"Click" Mitchell, notorious negro,
who was arraigned last Wednesday.
but his victim was too ill to appear in
court. The man was taken to her
home for Identification. AS he entered
the door she exclaimed: "Hang himl
How dare you face me, you brute?"
In default of bail Mitchell was
locked up in the city prison, but on ac-
count of the feeling was removed to the
county Jail the same night for safe
keeping. That night the Jail was sur
rounded by mob that was held back
by the sheriff's posse and the local
company of the Ohio National Guard.
Last night the situation was more
threatening than ever, and Governor
Bushnell was called on for assistance,
but refused to order the militia from
any other place here. This city is only
20 miles from Springfield and 40 miles
from Columbus, from which place
troops could have been transferred, but
it was thought Mitchell could be taken
to the penitentiary quietly.
The grand jury was impaneled yes
terday and Mitchell was indicted for
criminal assault. Then the crowd was
thrown off the trail by bringing Mitch
ell into court in soldiers uniform.
Mitchell was scared, pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to the limit of 20 years.
The trial latsed only few moments,
and Mitchell wanted to get to the peni-
tentiary at Columbus quick, but when
the carriage drove up to the Jail the
crowd rushed in to get Mitchell and
lynch him. Another crowd surrounded
the depot. The sheriff remained forti-
fled in the Jail with his prisoner while
the militia patrolled about the ground.
The crowds would not disperse, and
at 2:3O A. M. they broke through the
lines of soldiers and were about enter
Ing the Jail when the soldiers opened
| fire.
Hon. Daniel H. Gaumer, publisher
OF the GAINESVILLE Signal, and Hon.
Charles Gaumer, formerly publisher of
the Mansfield Shield, are brothers-in-
law of the victim. They are here with
Mrs. Gaumer, who is still in a critical
condition.

Beema, Idaho, June 1.-Two men
tried claim-jumping near here yester'
day. Fifty settlers organized and it
looked for while as if lynching would
result. The young men were finally
driven out OF Nez Perces county. The
people of this vicinity are determined
sot to permit any claim jumping.

the details of his irregularities, which
