Returned to the Asylum.

Cabal Tidwell, who escaped from the
Government Hospital for The Insane sew
eral weeks ago. has just been returned to
that institution. He was captured In the
Indian territory by officers of the De-
partment Of Justice. A man named Cha
ney escaped at the same time, but was
captured few hours later. The two men
had been brought here from Brooklyn.
They had been convicted in Missouri of
violating United States laws, and sentenced
to Imprisonment in the Kings county IN,
" penitentiary. While there they deyel-
oped symptoms of insanity, and were reg
ularly committed to st. EIiz abath's ASYLUM
near this city. They were taken to the
asylum, but made their escape while ar
rangements were being made for their
reception. CLANCY was caught before he
got far away. but ridwell could not be
found. An interesting question of respon-
sibility arose in his case. The Brooklyn au-
rhorities placed the responsibility upon the
asylum authorities, but they repudiated
1t entirely, inasmuch as while Tidwell had
been brought to the asylum, he had not
been turned over to them. as evidenced
by the fact that no receipt had passed
The question is still unsettled, but is no
longer an issue. now that It'd veil is actual
ly in the custody of the asylum authorities.

SELF is quoted in the New York Journal
as giving utterance to the following:
AT the very outset will say that every
thing l saw and heard taught me that
Spain is unable to cope with this insur-
rection. She will never Iut 1t down; Spain
viii never end this war with victory to
herself.
This is also the opinion of Consul Cen
eral eitzhugh Lee, and he has heretofore
expressed 1t to Secretary Olney. He has
told the Secretary of State that the in
surrectionists, whether soon or late were
bound to succeed. The last thing Gen.
FitzhIgh Lee said to me as l left Havana
WAS:
Please see Secretary Olney and tell
him that today ! am more firmly con-
WINGED than ever that Spain cannot put
down the insurrection, and that every day
1t continues means loss of life and prop
erty, without the remotest encouragement at
of any final Spanish su cess. AS 1 long
since told him, the insurrection will sue

daily confirmation

TODAY IS ELECTION DAY,
The Actual Votes for Mckinley and
Hobart Being Cast.


The actual election of William Mckinley
and Garret A. Hobart as President and
Vice President of the United States for a
term of four years ensuing from March 4,
1897, takes place today. The election in
November was for the presidential electors.
and today, the second Monday in January,
these electors are meeting at the capitals
elected and casting their votes in accord
ance with the wishes Of the people who
elected them. There is an erroneous i'm
preston that the electors meet at the capi-
tails OF their respective states on the first
Wednesday in December, and it is an ac-
tuai fact that some of the states passed
laws this year appropriating money for the
meetings on the December date Conse-
quently number of newspapers printed
long articles about the meeting in Decem-
ber.
AS a matter of fact, however. the cleo
tors did not meet until today, because
when the law of succession to the presi-
dency was changed in 1887 the time of the
meeting of the electors was changed. For
forty years previously it had been the sec
ond Wednesday in December, and this day
still remains noted in nearly all books of
reference as the time for the meetings

RIGHTS OF OFFICERS
Judge Bingham Defines Them in an Assault
Case.
Robinson Declared Guilty of Resist
mert-The Possible Sentence.

George Robinson, young colored man.
was placed on trial today before Chief
Justice Bingham, in Criminal Court No. 1,
on an Indictment charging him with as
saulting Policeman Frank Emmert the 9th
of last October, while the officer was in the
discharge of his duty.
The evidence submitted on behalf Of the
government showed that Robinson, while
engaged in the express business, annoyed
Auctioneer Charles G. Sloan by leaving his
wagon and lettering about Mr.. Sloan's place
of business on G between 14th and 18th
streets. Mr.. Sloan called Officer Emmert,
who advised the man to leave. He refused
to do so, remarking that no one could make
him leave. The officer then took him by
the arm and placed him under arrest On a
charge of disOrderly conduct. The prisoner
walked along quietly for about twenty feet
when he suddenly turned upon the officer
butting him in the head and throwing him
down, the policeman's shoulder being dis
located and his head badly bruised.
The negro claimed that he had done
rothing to warrant his arrest and also
charged that the policeman attempted 10
club him, the latter statement being de-
MED by the officer and other witnesses
In charging the jury, Chief Justice Bing
ham told them that while a person has the
right to resist an unlawful arrest, no one
has the right to use undue force In so re-
sisting. If an officer, without warrant of
law, merely places his hand on person,
in making an arrest, the officers hand may
be rightfully showed off, but no more force
can be used by the person Sought to be
unlawfully arrested than is used by the
policeman in attempting to. make the ar
rest. An officer. explained the chief justice,
when making an unlawful arrest, places
himself In the position Of q private citizen
III he uses force on such an occasion, he
uses 1T not as an officer of the law, but as
a private individual and his force can be
repelled by like force. In conclusion, the
court told the jury that while it is most
important that policemen shall be protected
IN the discharge Of their lawful duties, it is
equally important that citizens shall be
protected from arrests due TO malice. ie-
norance or prejudice. Hence, in deciding
the case they should be most careful, and
should decide it upon the evidence alone.
without fear or favor.
After celebrating forty-five minutes the
jury returned a verdict of guilty as in
dicted. The defendants counsel, Mr.. E. NJ.
Hewlett, gave notice of a motion for a new
trial. and the prisoner was returned to iaiI
10 70 await sentence. The law provides for
Imprisonment for not more than two wears
or fine not exceeding $780, or both.

Supreme Court Decisions.

In the Supreme Court today an opinion
vas rendered by Justice Gray in the case
of the Warner Valley Stock Company VS..
Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior, and
S. w. Lamoreux, commissioner of the
general land office, In favor of Smith and
Lamoreux The principal object of the
bill in this case was TO compel them by
mandatory injunction to issue lists to
certain swamp lands in Oregon. The court
dismissed the case without going into its
merits on the ground that 1t had abated as
to Smith because of his resignation from
office, and as to Lamoreux on the ground
that he was merely subordinate and.
therefore, not responsible.
The court affirmed the decision OF the
circuit court for the southern district OF
Florida In the case of Enoch w. Agaew.
president of the First National Bank OF
Ocala, convicted of embezzlernent
The reargument of the Laelede gas case

WILL OFFER TO SETTLE
That Will Probably Be the Next Move Of
the Pacific Railroads.
If Not the Government VIII Proceed
to FOreclOse the Mortgages
and Sell the Road.

Interviews with several members of the
House this afternoon show that the gen.
eral belief is that the Pacific railroads will
Immediately try to effect a settlement be-
fore the government can carry out pro-
ceedings for foreclosure of it's mortgages.
1t is also the opinion that if no settlement
is proposed the government will be able to
sell the property and realize almost fully
on the debts.
Judge Hilborn of California said 1.-THE
government will get every dollar of it's
money. and won't have to run the railroad.
The next steps will be that the president
will order the proper officers to proceed to
foreclose the mortgages and the property
will be sold. The government will get all
that is due it, because, If the roads are put
up at auction. there will be sharp competi-
tion TO. them.'
Representative Towne: This kills the
whole scheme My Judgment is that the
matter will be settled. These railroad men
will make propositions for settlement
which can be accepted by the government.
and this fact will soon be seen. They now
realize that they cannot get through a
measure which will not give the govern
ment its rights, and to save themselves
they will be willing for proposition which
will be fair to both sides"
Representative Broderick of Kansas:
proceedings will be commenced for the
foreclosure of the mortgages, and before it
comes to a sale the Pacific railroads COM
mittee will report a batter bill-one that
will be accepted by the House, and which
will be fair to all sides"
Representative Bailey: The ultimate re-
suit will be the foreclosure of the mort
cages. The terms of this viii be a matter
for later consideration"
Representative Curtis of Kansas: 1.-The
overwhelming defeat of the bill means /
am satisfied. that there will be a settle
ment. A better proposition will be made
by the railroads and will be accepted by
Congress, but in the meantime think that
foreclosure will be proceeded with
The foregoing indicates the opinion as to
what will be the ultimate result of the
whole matter. There is no doubt that a
great many members voted against the bill
under the belief that 1t was virtually a
proposition of the railroads. and that its
oefeat would mean that the roads would
make better propositions which would save
the government all or nearly all of its mon
ey. Congratulations were universal this
afternoon. The California members were
the recipients of many pleasant words and
assurances that their manly attitude had
had mIcn to do with the defeat of the
measure. All of the California members
with the exception of Mr.. Johnson were
busy for some little time after the vote
was taken rushing telegraph messages to
friends in California
Along with the congratulations bestowed
upon the leading opponents of the bill are
many good words for The Star, which be-
gan its opposition to the measure a a time
when there was not the least doubt that a
large majority was in favor of the bill.
