lspecIal to The HeraIdA

Denver, Colo, March ia special
to the News from Craig, Colo. via
Rifle, Colo. tonight tells of the arrival
at Craig of Sheriff Neiman and Under
Sheriff Farnham on March with Dave
Liant and Harry Tracy, two of the gang
which have been terrorizing Browns
park. The dispatch says the men were
overtaken in a gulch full of snow, and
tried to hide in the snow. The posse
was sheltered by the bluff and a brisk
fire was opened by the three outlaws.
1t was returned, and finally Johnson
came out of the Snowbank with hands
up. Liant also started to surrender,
when he was threatened by Tracy that
he would be shot by the latter if he
attempted to give up. The shots from
the posse were coming closer and Liant
finally decided to surrender anyway.
Tracy then gave up, but cursed his
luck for being in company with such
nerveless men.
Before the dispatch was received it
was rumored here that Liant and Tracy
had been lynched by settlers of Browns
park. The rumor had for authority the
opinion of State Auditor Lowell. who
owns a large cattle ranch in Routt
county.
UTAH CANNOT HAVE THEM.
Indirect communications to Governor
Adams this morning from prominent
cattlemen and other residents of Routt
county have caused the governor to re-
scind the order made Wednesday, Civ
ing Governor Wells of Utah permission
to take Dave Liant and Harry Tracy to
complete their sentence in Utah. The
governor has had no official notiffca-
ton of the death of Hoy or the cap
ture of his murderers. All he has re-
ceived is through newspaper accounts.
Today, however. protests have been re-
ceived against giving up the prisoners.
Governor Adams said this morning:
Governor Wells is working with me in
the matter. and a thorough investiga-
ton will be made. Governor Wells
has been informed by me today ex-
actly how the matter stands, and he
has agreed not to demand the men.
Nothing official whatever has been
given me about the killing of Mr.. Hoy.

THE reply Of Chairman Eikin, Chair
man of the Republican State Commit
tee, to the charges made by Mr.. John
Wanamaker against the Republican
party is so complete that it Will arouse
the attention Of every Republican voter
in the State. We publish it in fall else
where in these columns, and earnestly
commend its perusal to every reader Of
the HERALD. Mr. Elkin speaks from
knowledge, not from hearsay, and
when he speaks of what the r publi-
can party has accomplished for the
people of Pennsylvania, he simply
gives facts. In speaking of this mat
ter the Pittsburg Times says editorially:
Two notable ntteranees in the State
campaign were put forth yesterday-an
authorized interview. in answer 10 the re-
cent criticisms of Mr.. Wanamsker, by
Chairman Elkin, of the Republican State
committee and the speech delivered by
Col. Stone, the Republican candidate for
Governor, at Williams Grove After the
abase tnat, during the past few weeks,
has been heaped upon the party and its
doings in Pennsylvania by disappointed
aud defeated factionists these utterances
will be refreshing reading to good Repub-
licans who, on acconnt of the clamor.
may have begun TO fear that there was
something terrible the matter with the
great party with which they have been so
long affiliated. Both Colonel Stone and
Chairman Elkin are perfectly willing TO
meet their opponents upon State issues,
and will do so from now until November I;
bat they are not on that account going TO
ignore the great National issues that are
undoubtedly involved, or for one moment
fail to warn the people of the ultimate OBJ
jeet OF this State issue cry.
"An Republican victory in Penn
sylvania would at once be hailed by the
very persons who inauguraied the State
issue dodge as victory for every heresy
OF which Republicanism is the staunch
enemy. Col. Stone well says that we
want no discoveries in politics We have
been fighting with discoveries long
enough. The Republicans rescued the
country IN 1885, and in less than two
years they have more than redeemed ev-
cry promise. The people are not yet
tired of the prosperity which the change
on March 4, 1897. brought about, and they
are not so tickle as to take the foremost
Republican State out of line at a time
when it is necessary 20 clinch the advsn-
tsge Of two years ago and to administer
the final blow 10 the political heresies
which 50 deh&ntly reared their heads
then.
LAS to the charges of party maladmin-
istration. the reader is commended 10 the
arguments Of Col Stone and Mr. Elkin;
but to what they say it might be added.
no; as an argument. but as showing what
they amount 20. that the same charges
have been inside for many years. but du-
ring that very time. instead OF decreasing
the faith Of the people of the State in Re-
pubiicanisIn, il has come 10 pass that
whereas 1000 was once regarded as a
phenomenal majority. 100000 is now not
considered as unusual or remarkable"

Admiral KontOio'. Story,

A copy Of Admiral Montojo's report
has been received at the navy department.
The admiral says that in addition To the
superior strength of the American ships
at Cavite be owes his defeat TO lack OF
runners. the inapiitnde of the machinists
and the scarcity Of rapid-firing cannon.
Further he writes:
THE Americans fired most rapidly, and
my flagship. the Christina, received a
constant rain of fire. One shell put out
Of action four rapid-hring guns, explod-
ed 10 the ammunition room and forced
me 10 food the magazines. The steam

one seaman TO man them. The ship be-

THE Republican Congressional Con-
ference is again in session at Johns
town, and it is hoped that it will COM
plete its labors and give the Repnbli-
cans of the die rict suitable candidate
before the close CT the present week.
The State campaign will be formally
opened at Pittsburg tomorrow, and it
is high time that the ticket in this con-
gressional district was completed, to
the end that the campaign in the sew
eral counties could be vigorously COM
menced. Every days delay in making
nomination from this on will initiate
against the county ticket in each Of the
counties of the district, and it is claim
ed in at least two of them that If con-
gressional nomination is not speedily
made the success of their county tick
cts will be endangered. A nomination,
in order to have the candidate properly
placed up the ticket TO be voted IN
November, must be made on or before
Tuesday, September %. The Demo
Gratis of the district have not yet con-
vened their conference, and it is under
stood that they are anxiously awaiting
the outcome of the JohnstOwn gather
ing, fully prepared to put popular
candidate, and one of unlimited means
in nomination in the event OF NOM
ination not being made in time to give
the Republicans of the district ample
opportunity to heal up all sores left by
the protracted conference, and time to
make a vigorous campaign. The sew
eral candidates should and will be held
to a strict accounting by the Republican
voters of the district if nomination is
not speedily made, and the success of
the ticket is thereby jeopardized.

about $4,000. while the English army

THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT IT
..Urder the financial system which
has teen inaugurated and built up DUR
ing tie past 20 years. and for whicn the
RepuOliCan party is responsible, 90 OF
the g counties OF the state receive more
Rooney from the state than is paid IN
b, them. II has been the policy OF the
Republican party 10 provide system
of state taxation that places the bur-
dens OF the state upon the corporations
and other wealthy and favored insti-
tutions. In this way fund is raised
that is distributed TO the counties in
the shape OF appropriations to the COM
mon schools and in payment OF the
sali ries Of judges. county superintend-
ents and for other like purposes. In
this way the burdens of heal taxation
are equalized and lessened- II is an
interesting lesson to take up the re-
ports Of the state officials, which show
how much money is received by the
state from each county and how much
larger sum is returned by the state
to the county. For instance take the
following counties:

AT a meeting held in Altoona Satur-
day the Blair county Democrats and
Wanamaker Republicans effected a
fusion on the Legislative ticket for the
purpose of trying TO defeat the election
Of the regular Republican nominees,

Senator Quay. The Democratic COM
mittee Withdrew one of their Legisla-
tive candidates, substituting the name
of an anti-Quay Republican. The
Altoona Tribune says:
The Democrats and anti-Quay Repue-
licans are jubilant over the fusion They
claim that Messrs. Stewart and Stall will
win out, and the Democrats nurse the
hope that by means Of the fusion they
will be able to elect their entire county
ticket. There is many a slip, however,
between a County Committee meeting
and a November election"
