The Burnham Case.

The preliminary hearing of Charles
Burnham, charged with burglary was
concluded yesterday afternoon in the
Justices court. There were five wit
nesses examined by the prosecution and
the story of the crime was in effect that
Burnham was sleeping in an annex of
the Briggs House and that he entered
the room of a fellow LOGGER and stole a
watch. The witnesses were VIM.
Owsley, Deputy Sheriff Knoblock, Gil
bert Briggs, VIM. Maxwell and John
Cress. The defense conducted by Atty.
Ed. 7. Dupuis declined to introduce any
testimony. Judge Stone then decided
that in his opinion a crime had been COM
mitted, and it was his duty under the
law to bind the defendant to appear be-
fore the Grand JurO.
Burnham's wife came down from Vir-
ginia last night and visited the prisoner
at the Jail. A most pathetic scene ensued
as they have only been married six
weeks. Burnham protests his innocence.

NEEDED RAILROAD lEGISLA-
TON,

Now that the Senatorial contest has
been cleared away the Legislature
would do we'll to settle down the bust
ness and give the state some practical
legislation in the shape of relieving
the PEOPLE from the extortlons of its
local railroads. The most exhobitant
freig 1t and passenger charges on any
road in the stats, or for that matter
any in the world are the robbing
rates which p~ervail on the Virginia
and Truckee. When the road was
built it was absolutely paid for out of
the lockets of the people of Washoe,
Orm by, and Storey counties.
By the def manipulation which
has always marked the work of the
road, the county commissioners of
these counties issued enough bonds
to build the entire road and then
present it on a platter to Mills and
Sharon, In the neighborhood of a
half a million dollars was thus given
the ,:ealthy projectors of this enter
prise. not as a loan but a gift, and
for years afterwards the taX-ridden
people of these counties staggered
along under this burden of bonds
without a single CONCESSION gwen
them in return by the insatiate mo-
nopoly they had created.
Ia re was no pretense of making
any provision for the repayment Of
this loan, and the money of the pub
lie WAS taken without compensation
to CT ate and foster a private enter
prise.
Tie Comstock lode became a tribu-
tary Of this road, and according t
their sworn statement Il net prof
of tn road reached v Que thOus-
AMI dollars a day.
At times the Legislature attempted
to re tulate this giant monopoly anC
compel it to reduce fares and freight
or cease the practice of per- ury in 1t
financial statements, but the corrup
ton money of the corporation wa
always able to thwart the will of til
peopl. and its expert lobbyists neve
failed to down bills whose object wa
to give the people relief,
Altogether the road took betwee
ten and fifteen millions dollars OF
of the Sc three counties and the none
instea1 of being invested in Nevad
went 20 New York and San Francisc
to line the pockets of Mills an
Sharon. 1t was by far the best pa,
ing Fl ty-two miles of railroad in tn
world.
AS tn result of these eno1mo
drains ufrl their resources, the thre

Brooke's Disobedience.

Washington, May lit is the
sheerest nonsense" said Secretary Al
ger today in commenting upon the pub
lished story that the president or him
self had countermanded any order
made bv General Brooke relative to
the disarmament of the Cuban troops
The state of the case, in brief, is as
follows:
The president canvassed very thor
,ughly with Secretary Alger and Gen.
aral Brooke the best method of secur-
ing the disarmament of the Cuban
troops and their re-entry into industrial
life. 1t was decided that another step
towards this end was the surrender or

the president himself ordered General
Brooke to cause the arms of the Gu
ban soldiers to be delivered up to -ep-
resentatives of the American army.
With these instructions General Brooke
has been patiently carrying out the

that point where the Cuban leaders,

LUNA Is DEFIANT.
Restraining Filipinos From Com
municating With Americans.

->A~~SNS4A5 2" ILL ~1AhOAASoASs
Manila, May 19.-General Luna is re-
ported to be making desperate efforts
to restrain the educated Filipinos with
in the limits of his Self-appointed
jurisdiction from communicating with
the Americans, even to arreSting En-
canine and Herrera. two of the most
influential officials, while on their way
to Malolos to join those who are COM
ing via San ISidro today.
This and the removal of the seat of
government to Tarlac, thirty miles
north of San Fernando, may lead to
complications and delay in the pacifica-
ton. But it is generally conceded that
further opposition to American sover-
eighty is useless and ridiculous. Neither
General Luna nor General Pho del Pinar
have sufficient force to resist or COM
pei submission.
General Wheaton has been relieved of
the command of the Second division
for Il special assignment and General
Funston has been assigned to his
brigade.
A board consisting of Colonel French
of the Twenty-second infantry and
Major Cabell and Captain Randolph of

PEACE Is IMMINENT.
Filipino Leaders Are Anxious t
Give Up Struggle.

New York, May ia dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says:
Definite peace propositions from the
Filipino government are imminent The
Americans positively have entire con-
troll of the situation IL the rainy season
does not set in within ten days and
make further military operations i'm
possible. should the insurgents still
prove intractable.
The purpose of the Filipino leaders
to give up the struggle against Ameri-
can authority was made known by two
delegates of the Filipino peace COM
mission who remained in San 1Sidro
when it was captured and surrendered
TO Lawton's advance guard. In con-
versation with American officers they
state that the Filipino forces have been
for the last four days willing to secure
peace on any terms that General Otis
might see fit to offer. They declare
General Lawton, by his rapid and en-
ergetic advance from Balinag, has not
allowed their forces a moments cessa-
ton from fighting. The delegates add,
as their most important information,
that Aguinaldo himself will sue for
peace through the peace commission
within two days. If he does not so
act, the Filipino government will repu
diate him, as four-fifths of the natives
are weary of the war and desire the
early ending of hostilities.
-. The Filipino congress voted, on May
6, to name a peace commission, which,
as finally made up, consists of Buen-
canine del Pillar, Arguelles, Torres,
Pamprenes, Palermo and Herrera.
These delegates had intended 10 pro-
coed to General Lawton's headquarters

INVITATION FROM SkAGWAY
JOINT HIGH COMMISSION ASKED
TO VISIT ALASKA.
Purpose to Observe Conditions as to
the Boundary Line Probability
of Agreement.

Washington, May leach of the
members of the American branch of
the joint high commission has received
a handsomely-prep invitation from
the chamber of commerce of Skagway,
through its president, to visit that port
and see for themselves the conditions.
The invitation recites in strong Ian
guage the desire of the people of Skag-
way to have the commission MAINTAIN
10 the utmost the claims of the United
States to every foot of territory within
the three-mile limit lying between the
sea and the boundary line, as it has
heretofore been recognized.
The invitation has made an impress
sion upon some members of the COM
mission because of the earnest express
sion of the determination TO MAINTAIN
American rights to the utmost. For
one thing it is taken as completely neg
ativing the statement published some
time ago TO the effect that the majority
of the people of SkagWay are DESTROYS
of annexation to Canada.
There is every indication of the alb
solute and final determination of the
American commissioners to uphold tins
View Of the proper boundary line set by
tSe people of Skagway, if the bound
airy question is 10 be retained as one
of the subjects for the action of the
joint commission.
1t mas come TO pass in the negotia
tons now going on in London between
Lord Salisbury and Sir Julian Paunce-
fote on the cSe side and Ambassador
Choate on the other. that the resum-
ing of the joint commission depends en-
tirely upon the disposition made of the
Alaskan boundary question
Wien The commission adjourned last
yrinter it was because the two branches
were unable to agree upon it. The
Americans finally proposed to drop the
boundary question entirely as a sub
jet for consideration by the commits
sion. leaving it TO be adjusted by or
d:na.y diplomatic methods or by arbi-
tration. The Canadians refused to
consent to the separation of this dues'-
ton from the others.
Therefore. the adjournment followed
and it is necessary for the United
States and Great Britain to agree upon
one of two courses before the COM
mission should meet again. Either by
mutual agreement the boundary ques--
ton must be Withdrawn as a subject
for consideration or the two nations
must settle it outright themselves be-
fore the commission meets. The nego-
tiations now in progress are directed 10
securing one of these results.
