Spokane, Wash, March S.-A relig-
ious war that has been waged between
miners in Occur dAlene for years past
was given a fresh impetus yesterday
by an occurrence that threatens to
lead to the shedding of blood. At a
recent entertainment at Wardner. Miss
Johnson, school teacher, in an ad-
dress, made an attack on the Catho-
lies. In last weeks issue of the Ward
ner Citizen Editor c. r. Burrie, COM
menting on her utterances, made some
severe structures upon Miss Johnson's
personal character.
Members of the A. P. A. to the num-
Der of $50 met yesterday, from which
a committee of five was appointed to
bring Burris before the meeting. He
was dragged from his office through
the streets to the place of meeting. A
stormy discussion ensued as to what
to do with Burris. Some favored a coat
of tar and feathers, while the majority
wanted to hang him. Finally after a
strong appeal from the leader of the
secret organization to not commit muir
der, a motion prevailed to run Burris
out OF town, which was done, under es-
cort of the mob.
Late today warrants were issued for
eight ring leaders on a charge of con-
spiracy and melting riot.
Sheriff Henri and five deputies have
started to the mine to make the arrest.
Grave apprehension is felt at Wardner
as to the outcome of the trouble, as
feeling runs high.

DIED ON THEIR HANDS.
FIREMEN TRY UNSUCCESSFULLY
TO TRAIN A BRONCHO MARE.
It is Asserted That the Animal Was
Treated in Most Cruel Manner
Evidently Not Adapted For De-
partment Horse.

Some time last summer Chief Devine
for 800 purchased a broncho mare
which he intended for service in the fire
department. Animals. like men, are
fitted only for certain lines of work, and
this mare in particular was not at all
adapted for work in the department. This
fact was apparent from the moment the
mare was taken into the department, for
the past six months at least the members
of the department have been trying to
break in the animal without success. Last
Sunday night the broncho mare died and
it is the general belief among many eye
witnesses to the daily performance i'll the
back yard that death resulted indirectly
from the cruel treatment received at the
hands OF the firemen.
Reputable witnesses assert that Chief
Dey:ne who permitted the firemen to
handle the poor creature should be
yanked up for cruelty to animals. For
several days at a stretch the mare has
been driven about and cruelty whipped
until she was scarcely able to stand up
Men IN the department testify to the
truth of this and declare that an investi-
gal:on should be made by the fire and
police commission. On several occasions,
il is asserted, the creature was beaten I'M
til blood flowed down her sides and at
least once was it found necessary for a
member of the police department to stop
the inhuman treatment of the dumb
beast.
Last Sunday night the mare died and
there is hardly any doubt but that it was
the result of the inhuman treatment. Had
there been q competent man at the head
of the department he would have under
stood that the poor animal was not
tempered for use in the depart
m6ut

The Collective Notes.

London, March S.-The full text of
the collective notes addressed by the
powers of Turkey and Greece last week
was issued by the foreign office today
and it is seen thae the notes do not
differ in purport from the summaries
which were published at the time The
note addressed to the porte states that
the autonomy of Crete implies a pro-
gressive reduction of the Ottomon
forces on the island to begin after the
Greek troops now in Crete are with
drawn.
The note to Greece demands the
evacuation of Crete by the Greek forces
within six days. The note informed
Greece that the powers were agreed
upon two points, first, that they would
not allow Crete to be annexed in any
form at present; and second, that they
are prepared to endow Crete with
complete scheme of autonomy The
powers expressed a hope that Greece
would respect their decision and init
mated that a failure to comply would
result in a blockade of Greek coasts.

Hotels Here and Abroad.

Scribner's: American hotels are SO

that they sometimes make us uncom-
Portable. 1t is very fine and impressive
to have ones card handled by two men
and a big boz, and then a little boy,
when calling upon friends at a great
hotel, but it is fatiguing, nevertheless,
to wait 80 minutes and then have the
little boy come down and tell you they
are not at home. Though most of-uS
cannot abide some of the petty null
s-ces of the foreign system, such as
being charged extra for soap and serv-
ice, yet many travelling Americans,
who are sufficiently unDatriotic. say
that our big glittering hotels are not
quite up to the standard Of the best
ones on the other side in the small
details of making one peacefully and
restfully happy. The inkeeper's instinct
for knowing exactly what is wanted
without being told is more highly de-
veloped over there. They have been at
it for so many more generations.
The SWEETEST hotels in England and
on the continent are considerably more
economical and a great deal less lavish.
But they put on Tugs" of another
sort and some people think that they
are a more ENJOYABLE sort. For in

SALISBURY Sees the Queen.

London, March S.-Lord Salisbury
went this afternoon to Windsor castle
where he conferred for some time with
the queen. The subject of the confer
ence has not been made public, but it
is supposed it had some bearing on the
Cretan question. According to an
nouncements previously made the
queen is to start for the Rivera on
Wednesday and the prime minister
would undoubtedly have visited her
majesty under any circumstances prior
to her departure. 1t is announced here
this evening that the French, German
and Russian ministers have approved
the carrying out of the threat con-
tanned in the identical note of the
powers to blockade the coasts of Greece
in the event of her refusing to ac-
cede to the demand that she withdraw
her troops from Crete and her fleet
from Cretan waters. Their reason is
that although the reply of Greece
gives some hope of a compromise, it
does not comply with the demand made
by the powers.

Told He Must Leave.

Canea, March S.-Admiral Canervo,
commander of the Italian fleet here,
has notified NJ. Baraklis, the Greek
vice consul, that he must leave the
island. NJ. Baraklis was recently in
structed by King George to go to Selino
to intervene with the insurgents there
in behalf of the besieged Mussulmans
of Kandamos. The vice consul in
sisted upon going in the Greek war
ship Hydra, but this the foreign ad-
mirals would not permit. They offered
TO place Russian torpedo boat at his
service. but NJ. Baraklis declined to ac-
cept the offer. 1t is supposed that his
Punishment is due to this refusal.

graphed to their respective govern
ments that they will Immediately dis

Some Popular Songs.

A writer for an eastern weekly has
traced the origin and history of a num-
Der of popular songs as follows:
Marching Through Georgia" was
written in Chicago in 1865, by Henry
c. Work, a printer, who often COM
posed the words of a song at the ease
as he set up type and then if he had
access to the music type would also
compose and set up the music. March
ing Through Georgia" was composed in
out in manuscript. Henry Work also
wrote Father, Dear Father, Come
Home" and My Grandfather Clock -
"Old Folks at Home" was written by
Stephen c. Foster, but E. P. Christy
the minstrel, paid for having his name
put forth as author and composer on
the first edition. Foster wrote also
My Old Kentucky Home" and the
words and music of nearly 300 other
songs, many of them composed on
pieces of brown wrapping paper in the
back room of a little grocery store in
New York.
DIR. Thomas Dunn English wrote
Ben Bolt in 1912, at the request of
N. p. Willis, who wanted a sea song
for the New York Mirror
Home, Sweet Home" was also the
work of an American, in spite of a
prevailing idea among Englishmen to
the contrary. The author was John
Howard Payne, an American exile in
Europe, and the song was written for
Charles Kemble, then manager of Co.
vent Garden theatre in London. 1t was
an instant success, and brought the
author fame, but very little money
Listen to the Mocking Bird was
written by Septimus Winner for Dick
Milburn, a colored man, who used to
wander about Philadelphia whistling
like a hooking bird. The song paid its
publishers over 100000.

Now They Talk Peace.

London, March S.-The Standard de-
duces from the promise made by NJ.
Hanotaux, the French minister for for
eign affairs, in the chamber of depu-
ties, that no military operations will
be conducted without the consent of
the chamber; that there will be no
summary chastisement of Greece. 1t
does not pretend to say what will be
done, but it warns King George that
he is risking the ruin of his kingdom.
1t says, moreover, that he vii only de-
lay the emancipation of Crete by de-
ferring the inevitable order for the re-
call of the Greek fleet and troops.
The Daily News will say that it still
believes that a compromise will be
reached, although a peaceful blockade
may precede it.
The Chronicle will say that in the
face of such answer British coercion
of Greece is impossible.

The POSTS Story.

London, March S.-The reply of
Greece has not been issued officially,
and it is therefore impossible to state
the exact terms.
The Morning Post will tomorrow
publish dispatch sent from Athens
tonight, saying that Greece, in the
course of her reply, demands the an
nexation of Crete to her territory on
the grounds of the historic rights and
community of race and religion.
Nevertheless she declares that she
would withdraw her feet from Cretan
waters If the powers would delegate
to the Greek army the work of pacify-
ing the island. After this work was
accomplished the Cretans should be
allowed to freely express their opin-
ions to the future fate of the island.

SENATOR DOLPH MAY DIE.

fects of an Operation Recently
Performed.

Portland, Or, March S.-Ex-Senator
Dolph is lying at the point of death
at his home. AS a result of trimming a
corn and ingrowing nail, gangrene
had set in. Heroic measures were
adopted to check the disease but with
out avail. A consultation among sew
eral leading surgeons was held late this
afternoon, and it was decided that the
only means of saving the patients life
lay in amputation of the leg. This
was done, but owing to the patients
advanced years it is feared he cannot
survive the shock.

Anxiety in Vienna.

London, March S.-The Vienna cor
respondent of the Chronicle telegraphs
that much anxiety is felt there lest
Great Britain refuse to join in coercing
Greece. AS yet Austria, Germany and
Russia are the only three of the six
great powers that have assented to the
proposals made by the foreign admirals
in Cretan waters, which imply a severe
blockade of the coasts of Greece.
The correspondent adds that the
vessels of the Grek army which are in
Wolf harbor are kept under strict sur
veillance.

Must Pay Their own Way.

New York, March S.-Mr Botassi, the
Greek consul general, has received over
100 kilograms and letters from Greeks
from all over the country offering to
go to Greece to fight. The consul gen.
eral said today that most of the writ
ers coupled their desire to go home
with the condition that their passage
be paid. He had received notice from
his government this morning that all
Greeks who wished to go home to fight
will have to pay their own passage,
as the government has made no pro-
vision for such expenditure

There is some diversity of opinion as
to what the affect of the decision of
the supreme court in the county war
rant case will be. Some hold that the
amount of the warrants issued in 1896
in excess of the revenues of 1896 is an
illegal issue, while others put a differ
ent construction on it and claim that
the justices of the supreme court did
not intend that their decision would in
validate anv warrants at ALL
Warrants to the amount of $4,000,
or any other sum being invalid, would
be q most serious matter for the hold
erS thereof, especially if, as is claimed
by some, that the legislature in the face
of the state constitution and the act of
the last legislature, has no power to
validate warrants which are invalid by
reason Of over-issue.
THE LEGISLATIVE ACT.
Section of chapter 131 of the ses-
sion laws of 1896, reads:
mo county shall. in any manner,
give or loan its credit to or in aid of
any person or corporation. No county
shall incur any Indebtedness or liza
bilitv in any manner or for any pur
pose exceeding in any one year the
taxes for the current year, without the
assent of a two-thirds majority of such
qualified electors thereof as shall have
paid a property tax therein in the year
preceding such election, voting at an
election TO be held for that purpose.
An Indebtedness or liability in
Cured contrary to this provision shall
be void.
Sec. 6. reads "All contracts, author
izations, allowances, payments and La
bilities to pay made or attempted to
be made in violation of this act, shall
be absolutely void, and shall never be
the foundation or basis of a claim
against the treasury of such county"
This language is very emphatic. The
over-isSue is void from the start, and
apparently never was and never can
be claim against the treasury.
ARE THE COMMISSIONERS IL
ABLE?
Then section says: "All county
commissioners and any other officers
authorizing or aiding to authorize or
auditing or allowing any claim or de-
mand upon or against he treasury or
any fund thereof in violation of any
of the provisions of this act, shall be
liable in person and upon their several
official bonds to the person or persons
damaged by such illegal authorization
to the extent of the loss by reason of
the non-payment of his or their
claims"
This will be anything but comforting
to the eX-county commissioners, as it
would appear to make them and their
sureties liable to the warrant holders
for the amount of the over-issue.

There is another argument against
the wedding ring. 1t was adopted as
the outward sign of power and author
ity. In olden days when messages were
sent by word of mouth, it was the
custom to entrust the messenger with
the sender's signet ring for him to
prove his identity. Thus, when a man
took unto himself a wife, whom he
placed at the head of his household,
that delegated authority was made Wis
ible TO the world by comforting upon
her the all-important ring, the only
distinction being that the woman, as
the weaker authority, wore her ring
on the left hand, and the man. as lord
and master, carried his upon his right
hand.
