A Criminal Who Resisted Arrest
Comes to Grief.

SANTA ANA, Sept. pa tramp CIV

ing at the County Jail with bullet in
his abdomen fired by Officer Murray.

earlier in the evening and placed in a
little old wooden jail.
Upon the arrival of the officers Bush
and Murray went to the jail, and as they
opened the door Glover and the other
tramp, John Leonard, drew guns on
the officers and began firing. The first
shot grazed Bush's forehead, and he
fell. Murray pulled a gun and fired
once through a crack in the door, then
slammed the door shut, holding it
against the combined force of both the
men.
Both men in jail continued firing
through the transom and a side win
dow at Murray, but their aim in the
total darkness was bad. Bush re-
covered from the shock. jumped to his
feet and began discharging his revolver
into the jail door, imagining the trampS
We're breaking through.
In all nine shots were fired, when one
Of the tramps cried enough. He was or
dered to pass out his gun, which he
did, also the gun Of his comrade, who
was shot through the abdomen.
Both men were landed in the Coun-
ty Jail shortly after midnight Glover
was still alive this morning hI1t tha
County Physician says he can live only
a few hours at most.
The dying man gave his, name, stat
ing that his home is in Springfield ILL.,.

at San Diego. The other mans name
is Leonard, and his home is at Flag

MRS. RYERsoN.
It Is Believed That She Will Soon
Regain Her Liberty.

widow of the late Governor Ryerson,
who was arrested several months ago
at Ensenada charged with hanging a
boy to a tree near her residence. has
had her preliminary trial, and the evi-
dence has been forwarded to the City
of Mexico.
AS result of the examination it is
believed that Mrs. Ryerson will soon
regain her liberty, as the only damag-
ing testimony against her was the fact
that several days prior to the boyd
body being found suspended to a tree
she was seen beating him. Under the
Mexican laws the evidence to secure
a conviction must leave no question Of
doubt as to the persons guilt.

THE CITY AND TUE CENSUS.

Newport News will ask the next Legis-
lature to enlarge its territorial bounds,
and It is probable other Virginia cities
will follow it's example, but it is unlikely
that Richmond will be one of them.
There is remarkable Indifference here
on the subject, and if it continues the re-
sult will be that our city will drop in
rank in the next census. OF course, we
shall show large increase in population.
as we always do at the close of each ten
years. but while we have Incorporated
next TO no adjacent population within a
generation, most other cities extend their
limits as fast as a suburban community
grows up around them.
If Richmond and Manchester were con-
solidated. and their suburbs annexed,
greater Richmond probably would have a
population somewhere near 125,OO0. But.
we regret to say, public sentiment has
not yet been educated up TO demand that
sort of legislation.
At one time we were very successful in
our counting of Manchester, and might
have had her for the asking, but it is
perhaps not a dead sure thing now. As
for most Of our suburbs. they are in the
happy position where they get nearly all
of the benefits Of Richmond's government
without having to pay rate of taxes so
high as ours. So long as that sort of
thing lasts, we dare not expect them to
beg for admission into our ancient and
honorable corporation of Richmond.
An extension Of our bounds TO be use
full to us I'm next years census would
have TO be made at the coming session
OF the Legislature, but If any vigorous
movement is 20 be made in that direction
we fail TO see any signs of IT.
Are our people content for Richmond
to lose the position In the census tables
to which IL is justly entitled? Alas, IT
seems that they don't care If she does.

SALISBURY's SPEECH.

The English tradition is that the Pre-
mier always speaks plainly touching for
eign relations at the Guild Hall banquet
of the Lord Mayor of London, and
Thursday night Lord Salisbury did not
violate that tradition.
Naturally the most interesting part Of
Salisbury's remarks was that devoted to
the Transvaal question and as to that
question he made his most significant ut
terances. He warned foreign Powers, in
unmistakable language. to hands of"
as Great Britain would brook no inter
ference In the row. and while he modest
" dsclaimed ability to "dea with the
future" Of the Boer issue as respects de-
tails. he none the less disclosed British
policy in the comprehensive sense.
In defending the government against
the charge of want Of preparedness for
the war, the speaker declared that If was
not right to say that there was not ade-
quate military preparation. "The evil"
he continued, dates further back. 1t
dates to those unfortunate arrangements
i'm 1881 and 1884. by which we deliberately
permitted a community obviously hostile
to enjoy the unbounded, unlimited right
of accommodating munitions Of war against
us"
Here we have notice Of population of
Great Britain's entire policy since 1881.
towards the Transvaal There is to be
no more Gladstonian temporizing. There
is TO be no more opportunity for the
Beers to cause the British trouble in
South Africa. In short, the Dutch power
in South Africa, as represented in both
| the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State--one community, so far as hostility
to the British is concerned-is to be
wiped out. As to that point, Lord Sails
bury's speech leaves no doubt Botf
States are to pass under British domin-
ion; else how can they be restricted in
| accumulating munitions of war?

These figures are apt to cause a shud-
der among those who love peace ana
would fain see the principles OF chivalry
revived. but. after all, there is certain
philosophy which can find an excuse for
the present state of affairs. Professor
Theodore Dwight Woolsey, in his work
on international War. says the modern
inventions have so increased the casual
ties of a days fight as TO make outside
help necessary for the care OF the wound
cd. "On the other hand" says ne by
these very changes wars have been short
ened. the sufferings of non-combatants
lossened: in fact. hand i'm hand with their
introduction has come humaner
spirit and practice in every department
OF warfare" The same eminent authority
next asserts that the test Of instruments
Of war. then. is found not in their ca
pacity for innicting death, but in their
capacitv for causing aggravated or I'M
necessary suffering.
These arguments have their force OF
course. but it is hard to reconcile the
use Of explosives with some of the more
charitable doctrines which have seen
their birth in the last century. Truly,
we are confronted with one instance
where civilization develops into bar
barism.
Man has an instructive love OF valor
and deeds Of proves. This characteristic
asserts itself in his fondness for athletic
sports, and, perhaps, is the one plausible
excuse for the attention attracted by
pugilists "When knghthood was in
flower" his heroes singled out their OPP
poncnts on the field Of battle, but now
adays an Ivanhoe would prove a farce
were he to cross a lance with a dynamite
cartridge or seek to charge battery Of
