Will HE RTGHT THE URONG
In this Issue OF the LEADER is print
ed in full the petition filed in the case
OF DR.. Peck VS.. GOV. Barnes, in which
the claim is set up that DR.. Peck is en-
titled to a place on the election board
as the representative of the Free Silver
party. The petition is printed because
it is a clear and concise history Of the
Free Silver party of the territory with

ed From a careful reading of this
petition the honest people of the terri
tory are enabled TO clearly comprehend
the great injustice that is undertaken
TO be done the majority OF the voters
OF Oklahoma by placing the name OF
the Rev. c. Buchanan, one Of the most
brazeu politicsl scaiEwags in the terri
tory, on the election board as a repre-
sentative OF the Free Silver cause. II

and recognize the Legitimate repre-
sentative OF the cause OF bimetallism.

NOW A QUESTION
 OF JURISDICTION ROBINSON SUIT BEFORE THE COMMISSION. Unconfrmed Rumor That Hunting ton Has Left the City to Avoid Giving Testi-
 mony.

The State Board of Railroad Commits soners listened yesterday to arguments on the question of whether or not the board has jurisdiction in the suit recently instituted by J. R. Robinson against the Southern Pacific Company.
 Attorney Philbrook opened the argu- ment on behalf of the plaintiff. He de- voted half an hour to an attempt to convince the commission that he had been sneered at by opposing counsel for the purpose of poisoning the minds of the Commissioners against himself and to the commission, and asked that the alleged acts be given their true worth. Attorney Pillsbury, who appeared on be- half of the railroad company, disclaimed any attempt to discredit the standing of opposing counsel, and denied that he had been guilty of the acts charged. He also appealed to the Commissioners. and ob- tained from each the assurance that they had not witnessed any diScourteous acts.
 In reply to the argument of Philbrook. Pillsbury set up the claim that the Rail- road Commissioners have no Jurisdiction in the present suit, for the reason that the statute provides that such suits must the request of the commission. He also claimed that if 1t we're lawful for persons to bring such suits in the manner m which the present proceeding has been inaugurated it would then be possible to keep Mr. Huntington in court for the bal ance of his life at the will of every Tom. Dick and Harry who had or imagined he had a grievance against the railroad company. He claimed that Robinson must show that he had been personally

CAPITALIST MILLER
 POISONED BY GAS
HE WENT TO SLEEP WITH THE
 LIGHT TURNED LOW.
Although the Windows Were Opened the Deadly Fumes Took Effect and Death Game Be-ore
 Dawn.

William L. Miller. retired capitalist, was found dead in his bed yesterday morning at his residence, 1759 Sutter street.
 He had retired at about 10 o'clock on the evening before in his usual health and spirits, and when breakfast time came he was called and made no reply. Miss Neale, relative who resides in the house, knocked at his room door, and receiving no answer opened the door and found him dead
 The room was filled with the illuminat- ing gas, notwithstanding the fact that both windows were open at the top about six inches.
 The only gas burner in the room had been partly turned on. It had been the habit of the deceased to leave the gas burning low when he retired. The win dows being opposite each other, caused draft when they were open, and 1t is be- lieved that puff of wind blew out the flame and allowed the gas to escape into the room.
 The deceased was 65 years old and native of Scotland. Some years ago he was employed in the Assessors office. and after that went into business, where he realized competence on which he re- tired.
 He was a widower and leaves three sons, one of whom William H., was grand president of the Native Sons of the Golden West

PARTNERS DISAGREE.
E. Trespaille and A. E. Hiett Quarrel
 Over the Right of Possession. Trespaille Twice Arrested.

E. Trespaille and his partner, A. E. Hiett, saloonkeepers at 723 Howard street, gave the police an interesting and lively time yesterday. The former was arrested on a charge of threats to kill, and on his release was rearrested for disturbing the peace. The trouble arose over a loan of S150, which the men got from Tres- pailles father last February and which remained unpaid. Last Saturday, legal proceedings were instituted by the lenier to recover the amount from the firm He had a Sheriff's officer placed in charge of the place. When, Hiett, went to the place he was ordered out by Trespaile, but stood his ground until forced to leave at the point of pistol. He returned later. and mutual agreement was entered into which held good until yes terday, when hostilities were resumed Hiett was again forced out and on advice of his attorney, ", B. Daly, swore tp a warrant for threats to kill. Trespaille was arrested, and on his release tried to eject II. P. Mannan, Hiett's representa- tive, from the saloon, when a scuffe ensued. They made such a disturbance that Officers T. P. Gibbons, T. c. Murphy and J. J, O'Meara placed both men under arrest.

COLLIER HAS QUIT.
The Special Department Land Agent
 Was Mixed in His Reports.

Information from Washington leads the Federal officers to the conclusion that H. L. Collier, United States Examiner of Surveys and Special Agent of the Interior Department, has been dismissed from the service. About four weeks ago he left suddenly for the East to answer to charges of misconduct in office and the fact that he has returned to his home in Georgia is taken as evidence that he has received his walking papers. Collier was appointed under the second Cleveland ad- ministrauon, but he did not get along well with his superiors and was given an indefinite leave of absence. By promising to throw much light on alleged land frauds in this State he was reinstated un- der the present administration. After ar irving here he sent to the department long reports of frauds in the matter of surveys.
 This sadly hampered many transactions in the Land Office and prevented many of the surveyors who had done the work of getting their money for their services. Upon the appointment of Senator Gleaves as Survey the matter was called to his attention and he made an investigation, finding that Golfers re- ports were untrue This information was sent to Washington. Collier, hearing that his conduct was under investigation, has tened to Washington to fix up matters, and the information that he has returned to his home leaves but one conclusion that he has been dismissed.

VIOLENT TRADES OF
 THE PARISIAN PRESS.
Every Form of Insult Used in Its Frantic Abuse of the United
 StateS

Copyrighted. 1898. by James Gordon Bennett.
 PARIS, May 19.-Patrie continues this evening it's violent campaign against Americans. Every form of in- suit is used. and startling headlines lead it's readers to believe that a sort of anarchy reigns in the United States An article which is headed "Remem- ber' tries to excite public opinion by declaring that in 1870 America con graduated Germany upon it's victory over France, as a triumph of civiliza- tion over barbarism.
 Figaro has a peculiar passage, ex- tracted from Comte de Beusts book entitled "Le Dernier des Napoleons, |" which appeared in 1870. The author, after blaming Europe for remaining a simple spectator of Frances oppres- sion in 1S70 says: Europe entire will suddenly see the American eagle, after having raVished the Queen of the An titles from Spain, begin to meddle with her affairs and weigh down with re- doubtable heaviness upon the mon archical destinies of little old Europe" ,"
 This prophecy, written twenty-six years ago, which seems so likely to be fulfilled, is attracting much attention tonight.

DANGEROUS SECRET SOCIETY.
AIMS AT ANNIHILATION OF
 FOREIGNERS.
Agitation Against European and American Machinery Which Is Closing Many Sources of
 Employment.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Wash, May 19.-Late Ort- ental papers received per Empress of India state that there are many indica- tions of rebellion In theYangtse Kiang Valley, owing to the unsettled indus trial conditions The Kolao Hui, for midable anti-foreign secret society, continues it's agitations and to increase in numbers. The real ruler of Yangtse Valley is stated to be Cheng Chihtung. Viceroy of Human and Hupeh, who is disgusted with the weakness of the Picking Government and is winking at the organization and prospective arm ing of the Kolao Hui Society.
 It is estimated that the complete opening up of the Yangtse Kiang and it's tributaries to European and Ameri- can steamers will throw a million boat men and coolies, now dependent upon freighting, out of employment. These boatmen work from sunrise to dark for only their daily rice and a few strings of iron cash, paid them at the end of their round trip, occupying one to three months. When steamers suc- ceed them they see they must Starve.
 All through the Yangtse Valley their loud anti-foreign mutterings are heard. This feeling is particularly strong wherever foreign machinery has been introduced. A cotton mill recently es- tablished above Shan Hai has thrown many weavers out of work Recently some of them attempted to blow up the mill and partially wrecked it. Two were convicted and sentenced to 800 lashes each and terms of Imprisonment.
 The recent anti-missionary outbreak at Chung King has engendered very bad feeling among the natives there. Forty missionaries there, many of whom are American Methodists are believed to be in danger. The Metho- dist mission at Kiang Peh, in that To- cality, has been threatened with de- Struction.

MASONIC BENEFIT
 A GREAT SUCCESS
MATINEE WILL ADD GREATLY
 TO THE CHARITY.
An Excellent Performance Pleased Those Who Attended Yesterday. Best Talent in the City on
 the Programme.

The benefit performance for the Ma sons Orphans and Widows Home, at the Baldwin Theater, added many shin ing gold pieces to the quickly filling cof- fers of that charity. All society was there at least all the ladies were there, the men, as usual at mitanees, being con splcuous by their absence The ladies this time, however, had the best of 1t, for the sterner sex missed a real theat- rical treat by staying away.

Scheers orches- tra, during the intermissions, also served to please the audience. The foyer scene" from "Trlby" was excellently rendered by the company, Frederick Paulding as Svengali and Bertha Morrison as Little Billee making quite a hit.
 Robert Mantell received two curtain calls from the appreciative audience. MT. Mantell seemed to pay more attention to please the people yesterday than, if It is PossibISe, at his regular perfesrEma5nces ess" ended the programme.
 MT. F'riedlander stated after the re- ceipts had been counted that the amount ldken III dI litS bOA OlllCS IedCliSu over s400, and when the outside tickets sold were counted the total to be turned over to charity would be something like s10o0 as the house was very we'll filled.

injured before the Railroad Commission would have jurisdiction te hear his eom- plaint.
 Attorney Monteith, who also appeared for Robinson, suggested to the comnis- sion that if Huntington were brought be- fore a court of justice every time he was guilty of an infraction of the law the term of his life would not. be sufficiently long to make it possible for him to an- brought against him.
 Huntington was not present at the hearing, and this. fact gave rise to the rumor that he had left the State in order event that the Commission decided to hear the case. His attorney denied the truth of the rumor, and asserted that his client would be on hand when he was needed
 When the arguments were concluded the Commissioners announced that they would render decision this morning at 10 o'clock.

THOUGHT HIM A FARRIER.
A Daring Thief Enters a Stable and
 Takes a Valuable Animal.

One of the coolest and most daring rob- berries to happen in this city in the past year was reported to the police last night by Manager Elisha Stewart of the Santa Clara Ranch Company.
 He informed them that a man entered their stables at 3S7 Fifth street early yes- terday morning, and in the presence of a half dozen employees coolly marched out with a horse valued at S150. His visit was not questioned by the men, as 1t was thought he was a blacksmith or some one sent by those in authority.
 The theft was not discovered until late in the afternoon, when painter named Dassondell called to get the horse, he having purchased her the previous day. Questioning developed the fact that the man was about feet 8 inches in height, gray haired and wofe dark clothes. Chief Lees. detailed two of his best men to trace the daring thief.
