The Old rin.rs' Celebration.

The Old Timers celebration at
Del Norte wns all that could have
been hoped for. The crowd was
large, orderly and good naturcd.
The Del Nortcrs who have wide
reputation for being good enter
tainers were ut their best and made
all feel as if they were among old
friends.
The speech of welcome by Hon.
John Shaw was delivered in n hap
py vein. 1t aboundcd in good
points which the old timers thor
oughly enjoyed and was received
with hearty applause.
Gov. Adams, on behalf of the
old timers responded to the speech
of welcome. 1t should be rcmcm-
bcred that it was at Del Nortc that
Alva Adams "madc his start" both
in commercial and political life.
1t was Del Norte that first sent him
to the legislature. 1t was at Del
Nortc that his son was born, and it
was ut Del Nortc that he made So
cial and political friendships that
have made him what he is. 1t was
therefore. with pleasure that Gov.
Adams took delight in dwelling ut
length and in an eloquent manner
upon the rccollcctions that cluster
about old Del Norte. For an hour
the governor held the closest attcn-
ton as if imbued with the sentiment
"How dear TO my heart
Are the scenes OF my childhood
When fond recollection
Presents them 10 view."
We have not the space to review
the speech at length nor give a
report of the celebration betting
the occasion. Suffice it say that il
was n celebration of which Del
Norte may well be proud and
which will long be remembered.

HAMILToN's KILLING
The Testimony Looks Bad for the
Widow

SALT LAKE, April 27.-The testimony
of Thomas p. Seddon in the preliminary
hearing of the Hamilton murder case to-
day was very damaging to Mrs. Hamil-
ton, the wife of the murdered man. Sed-
to him early in the day on which the
shooting occurred and begged him to
buy cartridges for her. She went away
and returned again In the evening, say
ing that she could not get the cartridges;
that the stores would not sell them to
woman. Seddon refused to assist her At
the supper table Mrs. Hamilton said:
'Well, he will never live to get a di-
vorce."
Witness said Hamilton and his wife
were in the parlor when he went to bed
in the dining room. He was aroused by
the shots, and on going out met Mrs.
Hamilton coming into the house, and
asked her If she had shot John, to
which she made no reply. He then went
out and saw the body of the murdered
man in the yard, and upon his return
asked Mrs. Hamilton again If she shot
him. She replied: HE struck me in the
face"
Witness then demanded: 'I want to
know If you shot John or did he shoot
himself?"
She replied: "He shot himself"
In the ross-examination Seddon said
Il he had not told all the truth at the
coroner's inquiry it was out of the mercy
he had had for Mrs. Hamilton, his sis
ter-in-laW.

A LONG SIEGE IN COMMITTEE
AND A LONGER CONTEST IN THE
SENATE
Fear Is Expressed That the Bill Will
Not Become Law Be-
fore August 1st
Associated Press Special Wire.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The DEM
ocratic members of the finance commit
tee of the senate today followed up their
refusal of yesterday to allow the tariff
bill to be reported direct to the senate
with the announcement that they
would expect to be given opportunity for
a thorough examination of all the sched-
ules of the bill as amended before 1t is
reported to the senate. They have al
ready employed one expert and will en-
half as soon as it is presented to them
They expect to be able to examine the
bill sufficiently to permi. II to go to the
senate In about two weeks time after
they receive It.
There has been some talk among the
Democratic senators of granting hear
ings by the full committee. but this prop
osition does not appear to have met with
general favor. The Democratic men,
bers of the committee do not fear that
insistence upon this course would be
construed into determination to delay
the bill, which, they insist Is no part of
their program.
The decision of the Democratic mem
bers may have the effect of causing a
postponement of the presentation of the
bill beyond Thursday. Some of the Re-
publican committeeman now say that
they will not conclude their work before
Monday morning as there are still var
ious matters which are not definitely
decided and which it becomes absolutely
necessary to fix befora going into the
full committee. They are etill working
with the hope of presenting the bill
Thursday, but are still less hopeful than
formerly.
The Republicans think they discover
In the present attitude of their Demo-
cratic colleagues a disposition to delay
the passage of the bill, which they had
not previously counted upon, and are
making their preparations for a long
siege in the senate as we'll as in commit
tee. Some of them express the fear that
the bill will not become law before the
first of August.

THE UNEMPLOYED
Lefingwell in Jail-The Army Break
ing Up

SACRAMENTO April 27.-The indus
trial army led by Leffingwell shook Sac
ramento today and tonight are en-
camped over in Yolo. They came here
demanding provisions and railroad fare
to Ogden. They got the CLASSY eye"
instead. Before Leffingwell had been
an hour In the city he filled his stomach
with fresh oysters and then visited
Chinese house of prostitution, where
he was arrested. The rest of the army
was ignored by the police and the peo-
pie, and as such bodies thrive only on
notoriety and newspaper sensational
ism. they soon discovered how insignifi-
cant they are.
This afternoon they broke camp and
went over into Yolo. $50 strong, saying
they had had enough of Sacramento.
Then Leffingwell was released on con-
dition that ne left the city and he crossed
the river and rejcined his army. The
men say they will work their way east
by way of Portland, but the chances are
the gang will break up inside of week.

NEEDS ATTENTION
Worse Than Savage Practices in the
Yukon

OTTAWA, Ont, April 27.-Inspector
Constantine of the northwest mounted
police at Fort Cudahy, in the Yukon
district, reports to ottawa as follows:
The territory about the mouth of the
Mackenzie river and Herschell islands
demands the attention of the govern
ment. Twelve steamers wintered there
last winter. The crews numbered from
1000 to 1900. These vessels do not leave
winter quarters until about the middle
or end of July. Each year a vessel is
loaded and dispatched from San Fran
cisco with supplies for this fleet, OF
which cargo liquor forms large share.
This liquor is sold or traded to the ma
tlves for furs, walrus, ivory and young
girls, who are used by the officers of the
chips for their own purposes. The ma
tives have also learned to make liquor
from dried fruit, sugar and molaeses.
They are very violent and dangerous
when in liquor. Last winter it is report
ed that one tied up his daughter by the
heels and whipped her to death. Mr..
Whitaker missionary, and the ships
captain tied up the man and whipped
him. The result was that the natives
threatened to make the missionary leave
the island.

CUBAN CURRENCY
Utterly Repudiated by the People and

NEW YORK, April PA dispatch to

VILE, Fla, says: Rome repudiates Wey-

fusing, through the Bishop of Havana
and the parish priests to accept the new
shin plasters" in payment for baptis-
NAL and marriage ceremonies or burial
permits. and also when offered by the
government for their salaries.
Even masses must now be paid for In
gold, the church apparently having, like
the Cubans, loSt all confidence in Spanish
promises, even when printed over the
signatures of the president and two d.
rectors of such a well-known institution
as the Banco Espagnol de la Isla de
Cuba. After putting $16. 900 Of paper
into circulation, supposed to be based
upon a deposit of 100000 in silver, the
bank quietly slipped the coin away to
Spain. Yet the bank is now having
$40, ,O00, 900 more of this deprecated paper
printed in New York, to be placed in
circulation here within a fortnight, to
guarantee which the institution has
neither silver deposits nor government
collaterals Of any kind.

NORFOLK, Va, April 27.-Business
circles were startled tonight by the news

deed was filed at Z o'clock, transferring

creditors. The liabilities amount to be-
tween $4,000 and $35e.000 and the as
sets are stated by the firm to be $40O, 900
available, with nominal assets much
more. 1t is stated that the bank will
pay In full, and this is probably a fact,
as most of the property transferred is

this. there is large amount of personal
property. The bank was established in
