SAN QUENTIN PRISON, May III
Warden Hale has thrown up the sponge
No longer will the head of the prison
maintain that the policy Of Captain Edgar
in refusing to incarcerate convicts under
suspicion of engaging in a conspiracy to
murder guards is not reprehensible.
Jack Wilson was placed in the dungeon
yesterday evening and probably will be
in solitary confinement when Martin
Aguirre is installed warden.
Mr.. Hale'S tacit admission that he was
in the wrong was due solely to the action
of the Board of State Prison Directors at
Folsom yesterday in adopting resolu-
ton that any convict found in possession
of a deadly weapon shall be thrown into
solitary confinement and kept there until
his term expires, without regard to its
length.
Last Friday Wilson was taken to Edgar
for a breach of prison discipline. and on
the way tossed an eight-inch dirk knife
into corner. The act was witnessed by
Guard Ben O'Neill, who called Wilson
custodian, Fred Werner, back and pointed
out the knife.
Prior to. this occurrence Captain Edgar
had been petitioned by Guards Leahy and
Yoho to place Frisco Slim Wilson,
Neill and Phean. four desperate prison
ers who had threatened the lives of Off
GERS and guards, in the dungeon but mad
met with refusal. Captain Birlem in
terceded at the request of the. guards, but
was given no satisfaction owing to the
erroneous OPINION Oh DOIn ftdIe ana Edgar
that Birlem had been supplying the pa
pers with inside" facts concerning prison
affairs
When Wilson was detected carrying a
dirk the attention of both Hale and his
right bower were drawn to the event,
which was cited as proof that the prison :
ers were armed and ready for trouble
The man was not even placed in solitary
confinement.
When the resolution of the board was
adopted at Folsom, Hale doubtless was
made acquainted with the turn in affairs
by telegraph, as he receives a private
Geographic service of important news
events daily. Anyhow, Wilson was placed
in the dungeon Saturday evening and re-
mains there yet.
Guard James Mcdonald, who was
stabbed by Oppenheimer, is fast improv-
ing, and DR.. Lawlor thinks he will re-
cover. A splendid constitution and in
domitable will power have produced what
the physicians regard as closely akin to a
miracle

COAST GUARDSMEN
HASTEN TO THE PARIS

COVERACK, May 21-One of the
coast guardsmen at Coverack has made
the following statement to the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press:
1t was 1:25 a. m. to-day when L discov-
cred the lights of a steamer close inland,
just over the wreck of the Mohegan.
Immediately fired a rocket which was
responded to in a few minutes by the. sig
nal gun of the Paris. Chief letters of the
coast guard summoned his men and
manned the lifeboat. Unlike the case of
the Mohegan. the Paris could be easily
seen. The rocket apparatus was prepared
and the first shot failed to reach the yes
sell but the second fell across her bows
and was quickly fastened.
In the meantime the Port Houster life
boat and the Falmouth tugs responded.
There was heavy ground swell running,
with a southwesterly breeze, and it was
very hay.
On reaching the Paris Chief letters
found Captain Watkins of the Paris main
tanning the best discipline. There were
no signs of panic. The starboard boats
of the Paris were swung ready for launch
ing; all the women and children were be-
ing collected together and the prompt ar
rival of the tugs facilitated debarkation.

STRANDED STEAMER
REMAINS ON ROCKS

FALMOUTH. May 21.-An effort was
made this afternoon to tow the Paris
off the rocks. Three tugs were en-
gagged at full pressure, with the steam
er's steel hawsers and her own engines
assisting for half an hour. The at
tempt was entirely unsuccessful, the
steamer not budging an inch.
Pilot boat 13 claims to have saved the
Paris from the Manacles. She was on
guard duty near the rock, and when she
saw the lights of the Paris she showed
a flare. The steamer starboarded her
helm to clear the cutter, thus escaping
the ManacleS.

A Bill of Particulars.

IF there is newspaper in the state
of Montana that needs bill of par
ticulars of Mr.. McKinley's "wob-
bling on public questions. it has evil
IDENTIFY mistaken its calling in adopting
the role of public educator The peo-
pie of this state certainly are not 80
ignorant as to require such q bill, but
inasmuch as the Butte Inter Mountain
seems to desire it, the Standard will
furnish a specification or two and en-
large upon it hereafter If desired.
We will take the silver question as a
starter that great paramount issue"
upon which our Butte contemporary
rung the changes for months. Does it
deny that Mr.. Mckinley first "wobbled"
goldbug side?
Where did Mr.. Mckinley stand in
1s77-7s? Sauarely for the free coinage
of silver, and signalized it by voting
for the Bland bii-in the house of repre-
sentatives.
Where did he stand in 1890, when he
was a candidate for speaker CT the
house, Still for silver. but not SO
strongly. Using his vote on the Bland
bill to win western support, and while
not actually declaring for free coinage,
expressing a willingness to vote for
such measure if the republicans could
agree upon it. We find him voting first
for the Window BILL and then for this
Sherman BILL supporting the one first
named with vigorous speech.
What was his position in 1892? Still
for silver, and his voice was raised in
earnest denunciation of Grover Cleve-
land for his efforts to demonetize the
| white metal, the effect of which he
| claimed would be to make money scarce
and dear-"money the master and
| everything else the servant"
Where was he in 1894? Still advocat-
| ing silver and favoring the Ohio plat
| form which declared for its remonetiza-
| ton by international agreement or
| otherwise.
Where was he in 1896? AS silent as
| the grave until after the convention

| form, and then we find him day after
day upon the porch Of his Canton home,
| shrieking for sound money" honest

INDIANS READY
FOR THE WARPATH
Alleged Wrongs at the Hands OF an
Agent the Gauss OF tho Trouble.
Married Woman Kidnapped.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. GA special to
the Bee from Des Moines. Iowa, says:
Four hundred and fifty redskins at the
Sac and Fox Indian reservation in
Tama county are ready to start on the
Warpath with rifle and tomahawk. N.
T. Wilcox of Montrose was in consul
tation with Judge Oliver p. Shiras Of
the federal court here to-day and said
that it was only because of his per-
sonal intervention that the Indians
had been prevented from making an
assault on the people of Tama City
and Toledo to avenge themselves for
alleged wrongs inflicted by the Indian
agent. Wilcox finally arranged with
Judge shiras to go to Cedar Rapids
and there file petition for habeas
corpus for the release of an Indian
girl, aged 49, confined in the govern
ment Indian training school at To-
letC for a month. Wilcox returned to
his home tonight. assuring the Off
GERS that he win be able to control the
Indians as long as the courts have the
controversy in hand.
The woman in the case is I.elah
Puch Ka Chez. and she is married
Her husband is Tab Tab Pi Cha. They
were married when she was II accord
ing to Indian rites, the Sac and Fox
being permitted to marry on the reser-
walton according to tribal customs.
When the framing ScnOOl was eStab-
lished by the government at Toledo
Indian Agent w. G.. Malin sent out
an order for all Indian children under
10 to enroll in the school. The In
dians refused and hid their children.
The girl in question was taken into
another county and was enrolled in
q school near Belle Plain.
An Indian interpreter was charged
with helping children to escape from
the reservation and on the trial the
state summoned the woman in this
case as a witness. Wilcox induced
her parents and husband to accompany
her into court at Tama City. The in
terpreter was discharged, but the In
dian agent and Superintendent G. N.
Nellis of the school seized the girl,
took her away from her husband by
force. and, conveying her to the In
dian school building, confined her
there. She has been detained there
since the first of the month. The Eus-
band Is nominally the plaintiff and
the claim is made that the government
has no right to force the Indians to go
to school and in this case have no
right to detain married woman.

First Gentleman Rider in Russia.

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
Baron Hoyningen-Huene, without
question the first gentleman rider in
Russia, is making a visit to this coun-
try with his wife, nee Lothrop of Bos-
ton" says the Rider and Driver. His
greatest victory was at the Grand PriX
of Russia, when he rode three of his
own horses for the three great prizes
of the year-one given by the car, the
other two by members of the imperial
family. The races are started punctu-
ally each consecutive Is minutes. The
first and third races are steeplechaSes,
and the second Is fiat. Baron Huene
won the three in the three-quarters OF
an hour. riding 10 pounds overweight
and against so entries. After receiving
the prizes from the hand of the cZarina
the czar embraced him amid the great
enthusiasm of the crowd, and further
more honored him by dining with his
regiment that day, which was the first
occasion of the kind in Russia. 1t was
through the efforts and influence of
Baron Huene that the great race course
now used was constructed close to the
town of st. Petersburg.
The Baroness Hoyningen-Huene, who
has been in this country for two months,
was Miss Annie Lothrop, daughter of
the late George v. N. Lothrop of De-
troit, Mich, and Boston. She married
the baron in 1888, when her father was
