Thousand Men Meet Out Texas Justice
 in Terrible Fashion.
 Rosebud, Tex, May 4.-Last night three negroes, Dave Cotton, Henry Williams and Sabe Westwart were ta- ken from the officers of the law and hanged They had been confined in jail here several days on charge of at tempted rape, their intended victim be- ing daughter of William Cotes, white. Yesterday evening Williams made a confession. Deputy Constable Wilson had put a strong guard around the jail and everything was quiet un- til about 12 o'clock, when number of men heavily disguised rode up to the jail and demanded the prisoners.
 The guards refused to deliver them and the crowd retired, saying they would blow the jail up with dynamite or have the prisoners, Immediately the officers and guards summoned a bus and entered it with their prisoners, leaving by round da-bout route to Martin, hoping to reach the Post Oakes in time to elude the mob. When about three miles east of here they were over taken by about a thousand masked men who overpowered them, took the pris- oners and hanged them to tree, after which the mob quietly retired.

REFERENCE OF MONUMENTS.
Park Commissions Request to the Board
 of Education.

Of Education.
 The commissioners of public parks at their meeting last evening passed the following vote:
 "Whereas, The memorial tablet on Judges Cave has been defaced by cer- tain of the children attending our pub- lie schools;
 Voted, That the president of this commission be requested to ask the board of education to consider the ex- pediency of having the principals of each of our public schools annually ad- dress the children under their charge on the subject of the respect due to pub lie monuments and buildings, and on the impropriety as well as the unlaw- fitness of defacing them in any way, or of picking any flowers in any of the parks, or otherwise violating any of the park bylaws
 Captain Townshend called the com missioners' attention to the fact that many grown persons consistently vio- lated these rules. He saw a carriage containing a party of ladies drive out of the East Rock park at Bishops Gate with large boughs of blossoms and many plants, all presumably taken from the park grounds.
 It was voted that the park guards be instructed to enforce the rules.
 Attention was also called to the van- dalism at the Fort Hale bath houses.

GREECE IS STILL AT VAR.
Will Not Cease Hostiiities Until an Armis-
 tice Is Declared.

bIcb IS DeCIafeu.
 London, May 15.--The correspondent of the Times at Athens says:
 "The resumption of offensive opera tions in Epirus greatly complicates the situation and tends to hamper the ne- gotiationS of peace. The evident inten- tion of the Greek commanders is to cap- ture the Turkish positions there in or der to show that they have not been de- feated.
 Tn an interview to-day M. Ralli, the premier, repeated his statement that humanitarian motives are responsible for the advance in Epirus, but he did not deny the advantages which might be hoped for from the capture of Preve- sa and the occupation of the adjoining Turkish territory.
 "'We are still at war he said, and until an armistice is concluded Greece retains her liberty of action. We can not allow our activity to be confined to Thessaly, where the Turks are prepon- derant. The powers have hindered us from acting in Greece; but Greece can- not be barred everywhere nor compelled to restrict her operations to a limited area.
 "'We have done our best to obtain an armistice; and until it is accorded we must act where and when we can. If we have not already prosecuted the war at various points and among the islands of the Aegean it is only because we have taken into consideration the sufferings to which the Greek popula- tion might be subjected"

RELIEF FOR AMERICANS IN CUBA.
Spanish Government Not Opposed to the
 Plan-President McKinley's Policy.


 PIan-PresiCent McKinley's Policy.
 Washington, May 14.-The conference between Assistant Secretary Day and Senor Dupuy DeLome on the subject of suffering Americans in Cuba, lasted for over an hour and was confined entirely to discussion of the extension of re- lief measures. No objection was made in behalf of the Spanish government to the supply of food, medicine and cloth ing to the distressed Americans in Cuba, but it was clearly understood that the relief is to be extended only to Ameri- can citizens through agencies not yet decided upon.
 The Spanish authorities have not re- corded any objection on their part to a general distribution, provided this is not carried to the extent of provision ing the insurgent forces in their resist ance to Spain.
 On this point it can be stated posi- lively that it is the present idea of the administration that it will have full filled all of its proper functions when it has cared for it's own citizens. Atten- ton was called by the Spanish minis ter to the fact that the Red Cross had been given full permission to oper- ate in Cuba, and that in the distribu- tion of It's charitable offices the society makes no distinction in nationallties, so that the distressed Spaniard, Cuban or American might with equal right claim it's bounty.
 fo ho 1o ta WI in session to-day and that comparatively few senators were at the capitol had a quoting effect upon the feeling In re- gard to Cuban affairs. There was still, 1 however much interest in the course that the matter may take on Monday. Senator Morgan said that the message of the president, If 1t should apply only to relief measures in the way of food and clothing, would not cause him to deviate from his purpose of pushing a declaration of a state of war. The friends of the Morgan resolution will not antagonize the president Sen- ator Hale, who is generally recognized as the leader of the opposition to all measures looking to general declara- tion in the Cuban interest, is absent from the city, but Senator White, who also opposes such measures as a rule, said to-day that while there were ob- | jections to extending our charity tc such an extent he would be disposed to offer no opposition to such a message Some of the pro-Cubans take the posi- ton that any supplies sent to Cuba would merely aid the Spanish cause as they would practically amount to a contribution to Spain. Hence there is a possibility of opposition even to the proposed charity
 l Senator Morgan has no purpose o1 changing the form 6f his resolution ir any respect q was fully aware of the situation when I prepared the resolu- tion," he said to-day, "and. therefore find in the recent publications in re- gard to 1t no reason for altering my ] plans"
 The first vote will be taken on Sen ator Hale's motion to refer the resolu. tion to the committee on foreign rela- tions, and Senator White who takes issue with MT. Morgan on the Cubar question, expressed the opinion to-day that this motion would prevail.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co
GOULD INHERITANCE TAX.
Action Brought to Fix the Amount the
 Heirs Shall Pay.

New York. May 14-The action brought to fix the inheritance tax on the estate of Jay Gould was argued on appeal before the appellate division of the supreme court to-day. The estate was appraised by David Mcclure at $S1, 100000 gross and 37,000,000 net val ue, and he fixed the amount of the tax at $57S,000. From this decision both the state and the heirs appealed. The chief ground for the states appeal was that Mr. Mcclure allowed claim for $5,000,- 900 for services rendered by George Gould to his father to count as a debt against the estate, and to reduce it's net value by that amount If this claim had not been allowed as valid debt the tax would have been $50,00O more.
 Decision was reserved.

uINoH ESTER AVENUE TURNOUT
Councilmen Concur With Aldermen-Early
 Ahinnrnment Canses Some Eeelinc.

Adjournment Causes some Feeling.
 The board of councilmen concurred last evening in the vote of the alder men, granting the Winchester avenue Street Railway company the privilege of constructing turnout on Congress avenue, between White and Redfield streets. In making the motion to re- cede from their former action Council man White explained that when the matter came up at the last meeting 1t was not clear in the minds of the mem- bers of the committee to which such matters were properly referred that the measure should be acted upon at once, but since that time the object of the postponement had been accomplished. The committee had investigated the subject and had found that it was nec- essary for the accommodation of resi- dents of Congress avenue in the vicini- ty that the prayer of the petitioners be granted.
 The motion to reconsider was carried, after which Councilman White moved to concur with the aldermen. This was carried unanimously.
 Councilman Fuller then moved to ad- journ. This motion caused a stir in the board for number of the mem bers had attended the meeting solely because it was arranged that an at tempt would be made to rescind the contract labor order passed early in the year and rescinded by the alder men. The vote on the motion disclos- ed that there were ten members pres ent who favored adjournment and nine opposed it.
 The resembling party say that two members who were supposedly with them voted for adjournment without knowing the significance of the vote. The defeated faction made no secret of charging their opponents with restro- ing to an adjournment to present dis cussion on the resolution and to pre- vent its passage.

Incendiary Agitation.

The Charleston Gazette contains
an incendiary editorial under the
demagogic title of Government by
Injunction
The provocation, as usual, is a
man of straw" 1t takes an idle,
unauthenticated rumor that thew est
Virginia Bar Association, at its re-
cent meeting, declared IN favor of
Government by Injunction.
The West Virginia Bar Associa-
ton did not make any declaration
on the subject. That Association
didn't descend to the demagogic
and sensational discussion implied
by the term Government by Injunc-
ton" That Association, we believe.
is too patriotic and law loving to be-
come party to any such incendiary
agitation
Nevertheless that did not prevent
the Gazette from assuming what
was necessary to its purpose, and
making that false assumption the
basis of a TRADE against the legal
Profession, and endeavoring to array
class against class, and fire the pop
ulace to hatred and malice against
one of the branches of our govern
ment, which all history shows has
been the most conservative and the
most loyal TO the rights and liberties
of the people of any other branch.
The Bar Association met at this
place, and all its sessions were open
to the public, but there is no hint in
any report of its proceedings that
the lawyers of this state have taken,
or are disposed to take, any radical
departure in matters of government,
or are less loyal to the old landmarks
of constitutional government than
the legal Profession has always been
from the foundation of the Ameri-
can Republic.
