IN 1913, seven saWeElcunS Were Killed
and about sixty were wounded, while
they were being detained In the Brit
ish prison at Bartmoor. This was
brought on by q. clamor for ratons.
which was resisted bv the prison
guard. The United States demanded
explanation and suitable rcpara,Ion and
the British government complied by an
indemnity for the support OF the famil-
les OF those killed and wounded.
There ore quite a number OF recent
cases, the latest being that OF the Ger
man occupation OF Kiao- Chou for the
outrages committed by the Chinese on
German missionaries. In that case the
government acquired MS Indemnity n
large portion of Chinese territory. as
well as one OF the most valuable STRAIT
eglc ports OF China. IA,
The principle OF money indemnify for
the killing OF foreigners has been rec
ognlzed In several recent cases In tho
United States. One OF these was the
killing OF Italians ut New Orleans by n
mob. In that case. while the United
States did not admit the responsibility
of, the federal government for the act o {
q mob, yet indemnity was paid out OF
the federal treasury rs q matteriot in
terrationnl comfy and equity. Similar
action was taken In lndcmniiyIng5 CHI

Hos. Gro. h. CARTER, late County
Judge % Grant county, vas adjudged
insane on Friday last and sent 10 the
State Hospital At Mendoza. On re-
firing from office last January, Judge
Garter entered actively into the
practice OF law, at Lancaster. Bust
ness came to him freely and he was
attorney in several prominent suits
before the Grant county circuit court
at the opening Of the term last week.
He was unable to bear the mental
strain. Several years ago he was
treated in the Northern Hospital, at
Oshkosh, for mental arrangement,
which was attributed to sunstroke
sustained while he was soldier in
in the 2nd Wisconsin Infantry dur
ing the war. He contested the effort
OF his friends to have him declared
insane. aud conducted his own case
brilliantly before n jury for several
hours, and condemned severely the
friends who brought the suit. The
trial was conducted by County
Judge Aldro jerks, Of this county.
Reports from the hospital since he
entered, encourage confidence that
his recovery will be speedy. Hun
dreds Of friends throughout the state

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From ar regular Correspondent
AsIfNGTOs, d. e., Mar. 7, 1898.


| From ar regular correspondent
WAsHrNGTOs, d. e., Mar. 7. 1898
| President Mckinley, like the hum
blcSt citizen, is waiting for the navy
court Of inquiry to md its verdict;
until that verdict is reached there is
nothing to be done. When that ver-
dict will be given is more than any
man, even one Of the members Of the
court, can say. The court IL largely
a law unto itself, and will take all
| tigation thorough and its verdict
| convincing. Meanwhile the pres-
dent is performing his regular duties.
| If he has an opinion on the cause Of
the Maine disaster he is keeping it to
himself and publications quoting
! him on the subject are fakes pure
and simple. The only member Of
the cabinet who has publicly eX-
pressed an opinion is Secretary Long,
who said that in his judgment the
official statement OF Spain, through
| its charges affairs at Washington,
| that there were no mines in Havan-
ua harbor, eliminated the element of
official Spanish participation in the
explosion. An attempt has been
made to make great sensation out
of this expression Of opinion, but af-
| ter all there are few persons who
ever entertained the belief that the
Maine was blown up by orders Of the
spanish government, so that 1t real
| IN amounts to nothing. spain will
be held responsible, if it be shown
that the explosion was on the out
side of the Maine, no matter who
committed the crime.
The democrats in congress, with
he exception Of the suffering of
several of the j. Hamilton Lewis
stripe, are not INDUCING in any crit
icising of the president for not show
ing his hand in advance of the ver-
diet of the naval court. On the con-
rary they are keeping very quiet,
and are very much afraid that when
the president does move, he will
move faster than they are willing to
go. I'm other words, they are afraid
to shout war now lest they be called
upon by their votes to support the
president in making war.

E AT THE THEATER 8

%FSs!t.SssSs!tT.TsS.S..7.TNa j

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-Stuart
Robson has won his fine reputation as
an actor chiefly as a comedian. In n
new play by Augustus Thomas, called
THE Jucklins," presented last night.
Mr.. Robson appeared in the character of
an old farmer, and, with the rest of the
company, talked in what was under
STOOD to be intended for North Caro-
lima dialect. The part of Lem Jucklin
has many striking points of similarity
TO that of Old Man Rogers in "Esmer-
aida" who was also of North Carolina
and on whose farm a mineral discovery
was also made, which made the right
people rich before the curtain fell.
AS played by Mr.. Robson the old man
Jucklin Is a tender, lovable character
infused with just enough of pathos to
excite the keenest sympathy. The COM
eoian has amply justified his action in
making this departure into new field
OF dramatic Characterization, and has
added part to his repertory which
seems destined to become highly non
ular.
Inc play Is very strong up to the end
OF the second act. The third act is prob
ably good also, but it's climax was
spoiled by the inability OF the actor TAX
Ing an important part to get his lines.
though he was literally prompted by
those around him. This scene was.
therefore. to a great extent marred in
the acting.
The fourth act makes all the good peo-
pie happy in the ready fashion known
only on the stage, and the curtain falls
rather suddenly on an unconventional
grouping. The dialogue is full of good
lines, which were capitally interpreted,
with the one exception noted, by
capable company. The house was filled
with an intelligently appreciative audi
ence.
Tonight "The Henrietta" will be given.
IN which Mr.. Robson will be seen in a
character familiar to the public and in
which he has always been greatly liked.
