WILL FACE THE HIGHER JUDGE
Ian CHARGED WITH MURDER
IN WYOMING IS DYING.
Was the Partner of Robert Ray Ham
ilton and Was Accused of Killing
His Wife.
Especial to The Herald )

Cheyenne. Wyo., Dec. 26.-John D.
Sargent, charged with the murder of
his wife. was today released from Gus
tody at Evanston. Wyo.. where he has
been confined since Oct. 10. Sargent
is said to be in pitiable condition. and
rapidly growing insane. The authori-
tics. fearing that ne might kill himself
if longer confined, released him on his
own cscoSnizance.
Feeling against Sargent in western
Wyoming has changed. After the
dS2th Of his partner, Robert Ray Ham
iltCl, the wealthy young New Yorker
who was drowned in mysterious man
ner n Snake river in 1891, there was
bad feeling for Sargent, as it was gen.
orally believed he was responsible for
the death OF Hamilton, and when Sar-
gents wife died in March. 1887, under
suspicious circumstances, this feeling
b2canle intense. and Sargent was oblfg-
ed 10 flee for his life.
He returned last summer to face the
charges, and has since gained many
friencs, who believe him innocent The
authorities say Sargent murdered his
wife and that they have g strong case,
but il IS doubtful il he will live 20 at
teld the trial. which is set for next
April.

IGNORED AT WASHINGTON.
No Credence Whatever Given to Pro-
posed Fenian Raid Story.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The alleged at
tempts in different parts Of the coun-
try to organize Fenians for a raid into
Canada have not. as yet, been drawn
to the attention OF the state depart
ment, and nothing is known upon the
subject bevond the matters sat out in
the newspaper publications. The offic
ials do not give the smallest credelce
to the stories, and are of the opinion
that the purpose in setting them afioat
is 10 frighten the Canadians into keep
ing their soldiers at home and failing
to answer the appeal of EDgland for
volunteers for the African campaign.
Lord Pauncefote, the British ambaS-
Sador, is too we'll experienced in Amer
lean matters to make this the basis Of
official representations at this stage,
and instead. it is said at the state de-
partment that he has not even found it
necessary to remonStrate against the
alleged violation of neutrality in the
reported recruiting of soldiers for the
Beers within the limits of the United
States. 1t is suggested that the expla-
nation for this attitude is a preference
on the part of the British to deal with
such persons as may enlist here for the
Boer army after they leave the boun-
da-:es of the United States.
Anu IL is not doubted tnat all or these
movements that really promise TO
amount to anything, are being carefully
watched, with a view to catching the
volunteers at some convenient point by
a fie.et cruiser.
Should it turn out that Fenian
movement of this kind ALLEGED to exist

the attention of the United States gov

laws, but also to save the raiders |
themselves from such consequences of |
their actions as befell the unfortunate I
Fen>an raiders of 1866.
The tall OF a Fenian raid is well |
calculated to cause alarm on the Cand |
ian side of the border. as the people of |
that section were greatly agitated dur
ing the former Fenian excitement. AL
though an actual movement occurred |
then, the chief trouble occurred over
alarming reports of invasions which
never took place. Something OF a
panic took possession of the Canadians
pm the border, and many women buried
their yalrables on the islands of the
border river
On the American side the excitement
was intensified by local Fenian organi-
which drilled in apparent an
icipation of a movement. although
hese proved to be purely local bodies,
more or less sympathizing with the

Immediately cease hostilities and bring

Has the dispute between the United
States and England concerning the
Alaskan boundary been settled yet ?"
This matter is still unsettled, and ne
gotiations are still pending between the
two countries. Just what definite
shape the matter will assume is not
easily determined"
Mr.. Fairbanks said the sentiment in
favor of retaining the Philippines is
very strong in Washington. and it is
regarded as one of the most important
of the issues for the coming presiden-
tial campaign. He thinks the money
question will be one of the issues. but
not the most important.

WOULD BE HOPELESS TASK.
Prominent Irishmen Discourage the
Proposed Invasion.

ErOpOS6Q 1uVaSlOu.
Chicago, Dec 26.-John T. Heating,
national president of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, declared tonight that he
knew nothing of the rumored armed in
vasion of Canada by four columns of
Irishmen.
There are many enthusiastic Irish
men who would be willing to attack
Canada, now that Englands attention
Is concentrated in South Africa" said
Mr.. Keating, but to my mind / think
the present moment requires active and
substantial aid to the Beers.

nection with an invasion of Canada.
There are plenty of able bodied men
who are willing to fight the English

me within the last month will testify.

Hibernians will gladly welcome an as
sessment in favor of ambulance corps
or hard cash for the Beers. shall call
a meeting of the national directors of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians tomor-
row. The directors will probably meet
in Washington or Pittsburg and the
question of an assessment will be set

"Irish-Americans who long to see
their mother country free from English
shackles WILL 1 thinks recognize that
the best way to hurt or cripple England
will be to do it in South Africa by aid
ing the Beers. rather than by an inva-
sion of Canada If Canada were in a
state of revolt or on the verge of it,
as in India, matters would be different
Or if Irishmen could reach India dur
ing this crisis as easily as they could
reach Canada, then 1 should not be at
all surprised to see an invading army

FENIANS PREPARE FOR
INVASION OF CANADA

Troops Are Sent 70 South Africa.
Movement Active in New England and Hundreds of Irish
Men Are Said to be Enlisting.

Boston, Dec. pa movement looking
to the invasion of Canada by the Fem
ians and the advanced Irish National
lists had been agitated for some time by
leaders of these organizations in and
around Boston. Colonel Roger F. Scam
mel, who has been identified with Irish
agitations for many years, said today
that there was to be a meeting Of
prominent Irish Nationalists in Phila-
delphia next Sunday or Monday, to
discuss the question of invading Cam
ada. j - !
This meeting" Colonel Scanned says,
twill be followed by another in Boston,
when reports from the Philadelphia
meeting will be made by Boston dele
gates"
Colonel Scanned says the present
would be a good time for the invasion,
as the troops of Canada are being cent
away to take part in the African war
TT has been agitated for years" con-
tinued the colonel, that Canada should
either be annexed to the United States

or should have an indel endt-lt govern
mert Of its own. The present African
war will. in my opinion, Gee the first
break in the British empire. With an
army of 100000 Irish Nationalists en-
gagged in the invasion of Canada, 1t
would make things interesting for the
English government"
Referring to the Fenian invasion OF
Canada of many years ago, Colonel
Scanned said that 1t was a failure be-
cause there were too many generals
and colonels and no discipline. This
would not happen now, he said, since
the men are we'll organized all over the
country, and have confidence in their
leaders
