NE RAN AWAY FROM HOME
HIS EXTENSIVE TRAVELS
Young - He u. He Has Been II Nearly
An Of the Western etatss-His
Desire to Hear From
Home.

II the story 1o-year-old Rudolph
Johnson tells In true, he IL about the
toughest little boy that ever came
across h range from the coast. and
IL it is not true. he Is something of a
prevaricator himself. He was taken to
the city Jail yesterday and a charge OF
begging money was placed against
him. He tells the following story,
MY father and mother live In Oiym-
pia. Wash. My father is a blacksmith:
his name is A. s. johnson. and he
often gets very trunk. have
a OUNCE brother. who is in the deaf
and dumb asylum of the state Of
Washington. My father whipped me
every time he got drunk. and eight
months g / made up my mind to
leave home. ! first vent to Seattle,
then to Tacoma, Portland and Hun
tington. I then went to North Powder.
Ore. and wrote to my mother. I got
no reply. Then I went down to Victor,
Col, and wrote to my mother again.
Not receiving an answer. I went to
Manhattan. Neb.. and wrote again to
my mother and told her to address a
letter to Omaha, where ! stayed for
some time. Not receiving a letter. I
left word with the postmaster to for
ward my mail to Sioux City, which
place / visited. There 1 remained for
a while. I left that city and came to
Butte. arriving here a week ago."
Are o telling the truth about
writing to your mother?" he was
asked.
We'll. I guess I am"
Did she whip you or mistreat your"
mo. 1 guess she did not"
why didn't you tell your mother
then that you were going away, so
that she would not be distressed over
your absence?"
oh. ! Just pulled out and that's
ALL"
Asked IL he had worked to carr mon
ey on his tour, he replied that he
worked two days on a farm in Nebras-
ka.
Didn't you bum your grub?" an
officer asked the boy.
Sometimes, but not always"
Then you a some other boy to do
your begging while you did the eating,
just as you were doing yesterday when
you and young Gallagher were arrest
ed?'
The youngster looked at his question:
er and merely sneered at him. 1t was
evident from the boys account OF his
wanderings that he had never thought
OF writing to his mother. The idea &C.
CURED TO him after he was asked IL
he had written to his parents. and he
tried to make h impression that ii
was his constant desire all these eight
months to hear from his mother.
His clothes are filthy and tattered
and he doesn't seem to care for any
thing. He is not particularly bright,
but knows enough to answer all ques-
tions to suit his own purpose. 1t is
probably a fact that he is simply a
runaway who has associated so long
with the hardened hobo of matured
years, n that the life he is leading
Is altogether to his liking. and that he
has no desire to either go home or
hear from his parents.

the man changed his mind and took a
position against the wall with the 9Th

secured 500 In money, a gold watch and
chain and two rings. Backing ont. he
kept the hv men under cover Of his
Colts and escaped into the black night.
There was not a nan in the saloon

May Resign the Regency.

MADRID, June 23.-The Wen
na correspondent of the Daily Tel
egraph says: "All the informa-
tion that reaches here from Mad
rid proves beyond doubt that the
position of The Queen Regent has
become altogether urtenable and
that her Majesty will resign the
regency within very short period.
1t may prove feasible to establish
regency council under arrange
ments of the bill for the existing
dynasty, but, according to present
indications, this appears question
able. In well-informed quarters
here it is believed that the next de-
feat for the Spaniards will upset
the conditions prevailing in Mad
rid, where the situation is already
extremely confused"

The Latin republics wish to see how the

sphere which, it is contended, should be
kept apart from the Cuban question: as the
Porto Ricans seem satisfied with Spanish
rule.
Should the doings of the Americans in
Cuba and Porto Rico confirm the belief that
they wish first to control and ultimately to
dominate the American continent the whole
of the South and Central American repub-
lies will form themselves into federation,
one of them which may come into conflict
with the United States / have reason to
believe that should the Hispo-American
League become a reality the next step would
be the conclusion of an agreement binding
each of its units to keep up certain mill
tary and naval force. Thus the league
would be able to dispose of the confederate
army and navy in case of conflict with
the United States. No doubt is entertained
that Spain will take lively interest in the
scheme. 1t is even considered likely that
she may enter the league, contributing the
weight of her army and navy. How far the
project will be realized it is impossible to
say The rivalry of Chile and Argentina
for supremacy in South America may hinder
it's accomplishment. 1t is now known that,
to a certain extent, this rivalry prevented
Chile from selling war ships to Spain"
