POSTMASTER KIPPEN KILLED.
Old Trouble Over Land in the Neg
Perez Reservation.

Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. BID. A. Kip
pen, postmaster at Kippen, prominent
citizen of the reservation district, was
killed Friday by Joseph Morangue, coun-
ty surveyor of Nez Perez county, at the
latters home on the reservation.
Morangue, accompanied by two men,
came here and surrendered himself into
the custody of Sheriff Barton. When
surrendering himself he made but brief
statement of the affair and the details of
the tragedy will not be known until the
findings of the coroner's jury are made
public
From information at hand, however, it
appears that the men had not been on
friendly terms for some time, owing to
unsatisfactory business relations. Mo
rangue owns homestead near the sta
ton mouse conducted by Kippen, and the
latter had plowed and cultivated the land
with the understanding that he could Sc
cure lease from the owner. Morangue
subsequently, discovered that if he leased
his homestead he would lose his rights
and so explained the case to Kippen. The
matter resulted in bitter feelings between
the men and was finally temporarily set
tied by Morangue giving his note to Kip
pen for the amount of labor performed
with the understanding that if possible
Kippen would be given lease Of the lane
in future. The matter was in bad condi
ton three weeks ago, when Morangu,
came to Lewiston in attendance on tn,
session of the county commissioners Mo
rangue completed his labor here ant
reached his homestead Friday about Il
o'clock, WIN the tragedy happened
His brief statement of the affair is t
the effect that when he reached his HON,
Kippen was there, and the land difficulty
was immediately the subject of a spirited
discussion. Morangue reported that Will
in Lewiston he secured legal advice AM
could not lasc his homestead, when Kip
pen assumed threatening attitude ant
stated that he would compel him to sigr
lease. Morangue then drew a revolver
and fired several shots at Kippen. Th'
latter fell across the threshold of the dool
and expired almost instantly.

OPIUM JOINTS ARE PROTECTED.
Chicago Police Scandal Has Been
Unearthed.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-The committee from
the senate investigating the charges
against the police force heard testimony
tending to show that a regular police sys-
tenn of protection over Chinese opium
joints exist. Several Chinese appeared
before the committee, but with one or two
exceptions were afraid to testify. Sing
Ting, proprietor of one opium joint, said
that if Governor Tanner OF Mayor Harri-
son would guarantee him protection he
would tell all he knew. He said within
the past 10 days the police visited all the
opium joints and warned the keepers
against giving testimony before the SEN
ate committee. Sing Ting created sensa-
ton by stating he and Sam May had once
been imprisoned for Is days on the north
side for talking too much," and that
Sam May had been compelled to leave the
city.
Moy Tin said that most opium joint
proprietors paid $40 week for police pro-
lection. He, however, paid but So q
week. The collector, according to Moy
Tin, said that Alderman Coughlin was
the beneficiary.

FLEET is IN FINE CONDITION.
Spanish Battleships VIII Pay Visits
to American Ports.

Madrid, Jan. 27.-Admiral Chaeon, the
Admiral of the feet, has arrived here and
had a long conference with Admiral Ber-
mejo, the minister of marine. He assert
ed that the recent evolutions had demon
strated the perfect condition of the fleet.
The next cabinet council will decide what
American ports the Spanish men-of-war
are to visit. The Spanish papers sharply
stigmatize the Maine incident as an act
of unwarranted provocation. Most of
them counsel the people of Havana to
show forbearanee. In official circles the
tendency is to accept the argument that
the United States is friendly and it is
needless to attach Importance to the visit
of an American vessel to Havana.

Press dispatches from Vancouver on the
18th instant contained an account of an
attack by Chinese pirates upon the Euro

simultaneously and half of this provincial
capital has been destroyed.
The resident and his family and Euro
pean officials were compelled to abandon
their residences during the sortie, when
the troops took shelter in the FORTS The
force was too small to admit of meeting
the pirates, who were armed with rifles,
in the open. At Wal Phu Mini Clam
there were no casualties among the Euro
peans, but considerable damage was done
to the town. About o'clock on the
morning of December 10 several hundred
Annamites crossed the river Lachtray in
small bands and converged upon Hal
phong. Shortly afterward several fire
started in the European and native quar-
tiers on the outskirts of the town. Re-
ports of firearms were heard in every di-
rection, and constable ran to the bar
racks and gave the alarm. Meanwhile an
other band, about $50 strong, attacked the
village of Ambir. This was headed by an
l1lI h. IL of
four standards which bore the inscription:
"Obey the order of heaven; destroy the
Europeans; exterminate the dynasty of
Ngui- Yen and Mac"
About o'clock company of French
troops in two divisions turned out and
charged the rear guard of the pirates with
fixed bayonets. Fifteen of the pirates were
killed and several more wounded and tax
en- to hospital.
In the meantime the pirates had entered
the house of A. r. marty and killed his
bookkeeper, NJ Gauthier, after horribly
mutilating him. His seven year-old child
also disappeared. They then attacked M
Dulce, clerk for the Fausse Mining Com
pany, and left him for dead. He was tax,
en- to the hospital, however, and may re-
cover.
On the following Saturday 10 Of the cap
tured pirates were executed upon the spot
where M. Gauthier was assassinated, and
after the execution the heads of the pi
rates were placed upon stakes and set VI
in front of the house. About 200 Euro
peans and 500 natives witnessed the ex
ecution.
