SAMPSON WANTS AN ALLIANCE.
United States and England Should
Stand Together.

London, March 22.-The Times pub
fishes this morning a letter from a
correspondent in Bermuda, who de-
scribes Rear Admiral Simpsons visit
there last month, and gives IAN au-
thorized interview with the admiral.
According to the correspondent, Ad-
miral Sampson, remarking upon the
marvellous change in American opin-
ion,' said:
Formerly England was regarded as
the only European power with which
the United States was likely to have
serious differences. Now we regard
England as our best, perhaps our only
friend. 1 cannot say whether this feel
ing will prove permanent, but I hope
it may Possibly we could not hope for
more than England's moral support, in
the first instance, in any conflict with
continental power; but in times of
real difficulty it would ripen, sooner
or later, into a, defensive alliance.
L say frankly that in my opinion
the United States has more to gain
from such an alliance than England
has Therefore, l rejoice unfeigpedly
at the change of sentiment in the
United States. / am not less gratified
that no such change is needed in Great
Britain, and if any words Of mine can
cement a friendship calculated to bene-
fit the whole world, it is a pleasure to
myself and a duty to my country to
utter them.'

ATTEMPT TO KILL A JAILER.
Bold Break of Harry Tracy, Motor
ious Crook.

Portland, Ore, March 21.-Harry
Tracy, notorious crook who is under
arrest here with several charges Of
highway robbery hanging over him, at
tempted to murder Jailer Edward
Dougherty in the county jail today.
Jailer Dougherty was taking Tracy
from his cell to the court room, where
ne was to plead to the several indict-
ments, when he drew a revolver and
quietly said: unlock the corridor. or
I'll kill you"
This move on the part of Tracy was
presumably to release the other prison
ers confined in the corridors awaiting
trial and escape in the confusion.
Dougherty, instead of obeying the COM
mand quickly dropped on his knees.
Just as the jailer dropped Tracy fired,
and the ball whizzed by his ear. This
attracted the attention of Deputy Sher-
iff Jordan, who stood close by. Jordan
fired three shots at Tracy, but his re-
yolver refused to operate longer. Tracy
took shot at Jordan when he dropped
his weapon and ran around toward the
north corridor.
In the meantime the iailer rushed
into his office, secured another weapon
and followed Tracy. AS he came in
sight of him the outlaw threw up his
hands, shouting: Don't shoot; I'll sur
render"
Tracy is wanted in Denver, Salt Lake
and several other western cities on
charges of murder, robbery and burg
larry.

ed for the company. 1t was expected
the representatives of three or four i'm
portant oil refineries of Ohio to testifz
to alleged arbitrary methods of the pipe
line. Before the case opened, Attorney
Monnett reported he had been unable
! to secure these witnesses and, after a
brief re-examination of George R.
Rice, he would close his case for the
time being. MIR. Monnett explained that
he was informed that the courts could
compel the attendance of the witnesses,
but they could not punish them if they
refused to testify.
The proceedings against the Pipe Line
company are to secure an annulment of
its charter, on the ground that it has
violated the antitrust law of Ohio and
that, in defiance of the courts it is still
a member of the Standard Oil trust.
The purpose of calling Mr.. Rice to-
day was to allow him to testify in con-
tradiction to the statement made by
! John D. Archbold that he had attempt
ed to blackmail the Standard Oil COM
pany by demanding $500000 for his
properties, which were worth about
| 5000.
Mr. Rice, replying to the attorney
generals invitation that he make a
statement, read from a lengthy manu-
script TT is true" he said, that in
1886, on their solicitation, 1 did submit
a proposition to sell all of my oil prop
| erty-not only my refinery but produc-
! tion as Well-for the sum stated
| Mr. Rice quoted from the letters of
! Mr.. Archbold already published, to
| show that the Standard Oil company
had his proposition under consideration.
The Standard Oil company, Mr.. Rice
said, by it's control of the railroads has
raised the freights so that it was i'm
possible for him to carry on his busi-
! ness.
! In 1885, he said. "the Baltimore &
! Ohio Southern connections raised their
| freight rates on me from so to 162 per
cent, and none on the Standard Oil
trust, which closed up fourteen of my
agencies, out of twenty-four, in five
months, and shut me out of over halt
| the towns in which 1 was doing busi-
ness"
Replying to a question by Mr.. Elliott
Mr. Rice gave the date of the occur
rences of which he was complaining as
| early as 1881 and 1882. He admitted
/ that the Buckeye Pipe Line company
! was not organized until 1855. In con-
Guiding his statement. Mr.. Rice said he
could prove that the Standard Oil COM
pany has secretly and criminally black
mailed the railroads of this city of mil
lions of dollars on rebate of freight.
When he had finished, counsel for the
! Pipe Line company asked him II the
prepared statement he had read from
did not contain the same testimony he
had given in Columbus. Mr.. Rice sale
that in substance it was the same. He
said he was testifying in the present
proceedings because he wanted an op-
portunity for contradicting the false

Santiago de Cuba, March 21.-There is
no truth in the statements published
in the United States and cabled back
here, representing that John Sherman
is dead 1t is incomprehensible how
these reports originated.
The American line steamer Paris.
Captain Frederick Watkins, arrived
here this evening before dark. and it
was Immediately reported that Mr..
Sherman was not only alive, but better,
resting easily and expected to recover.
He will be transferred if all goes IA
vorable, to the United States cruiser
Chicago on Thursday. The cruiser is
now cOaling at Kingston, Jamaica.
Washington, March 21.-Secretary
Long received word today from Captain
Cooper of the cruiser Chicago, saying
his vessel had met the Paris, on which
eX-Secretary of State Sherman is a pas
senger. off Jingston, Jamaica. The Chi
cago was DISPATCHED by the navy de-
pdrtment to kingston to bring Mr..
Sherman to the United States imme-
diately, as the Paris was not expected
to return with her excursionists for
some time The Chicago, however, did
not reach Kingston in tirae, but upon
meeting the Paris made ARRANGEMENTS
to take Mr.. Sherman OFF the latter yes
sci on Friday. the change to be made
at Caimanera, few miles east Of San
tiagO
Fearing the harm which might result
from a sudden change in the climate of
the West Indies TO a northern latitude,
the family are considering the advisa-
bnity of having Mr.. Sherman taken to
Tampa, Fla, for a time. After remain
ing there until he is well on the road
to recovery, he can be brought to
washington, stopping, possibly, for
some days at Fortress Monroe, so as to
become gradually accustomed to the
change in temperature.

MUZZLING THE PRESS.
How California's Idiotic Legislators
Punish Their Critics.

Sacramento, Cal, March 21.-Gover-
nor Gage has attached his signature to
the Morehouse bill. requiring all arti-
cles published in the newspapers and
periodicals of California referring to in
dividuals to have the true name of the
writer affixed. Telegraphic dispatches
are, by special provision, exempt from
this law.
In brief, the object of the bill is to
compel the signing of all articles con-
tanning such reference to an individual
as would degrade him, subject him to
ridicule, or make him an object of con-
tempt, irrespective of the truth or
faIsity of such publication. The bill
will not become operative for thirty
days, and meantime the publishers will
arrange a concerted plan of action. 1t
has been already decided to disregard
the law when it shall go into effect,
and to make a test case on the plea
that it is unconstitutional.
