New York, May 1.-Justice Book
staver today dismissed the writs Of
habeas corpus and certiorari obtained
for Roland Burnham Molineux by his
counsel. He remanded Molineux back
to the Tombs. The writs were obtained
on application OF MolineuX's attorneys.
They contended that Judge Williams's
decision ordering the case submitted to
another grand jury was practically
quashing of the indictment, and that,
as there was then no legal indictment
outstanding against him, there was no
warrant for OBTAINING Molineux in the
Tombs.

FIRE TANNED BY A ToKNADo.-A
prairie fire burning in the hay flats
along the northern tier counties of Ne
braska, ten miles from Coleridge, on
Saturday afternoon passed into the
track of tornado and swept with the
speed of the wind diagonally across the
country for twenty-five miles, destroy
ing everything in its path.
The property damage will be many
thousands, though the only lives lost,
so far as known, were those of Mrs
Rolls Livingston and her five-year-old
bow. The woman saw the Ere coming
and ran to & pasture to release the
family stock. The boy followed her snd
both were knocked down by the terri
fed animals. The fire passed over them
before they could get out OF the way.
The body of the boy was almost con-
5umed and Mrs. Livingston lived but q
few hours.
A number of large punches OF cattle
were overtaken and consumed in the
path of the fire. A large number OF
farm houses were utterly destroyed and
the families escaped only by racing be-
yond the track of the storm. The path
of the fire was nearly one mile wide and
the farmers beyond the belt line msnag-
ed to put out the flames along the bot
tom after the tornado had passed over

MONDAY EVENING. MAY /, 1899
BISHOP SpA1DNG, iniChicago yester

BISHOP SpALDNG, iniChicago yester-
day evening, said
1--WE shall not believe that the gain
of a few naval battles over weak and
unprepared foe have power to throw
MS into such enthusiasm, or such mad
ness, as TO turn us permanently from
the principles and policies to which we
owe our national existence, our life and
liberty: or that destiny, the divinity OF
fatalists and materialists, can weaken
our faith in the God of justice, right
eousness, and love, who scorns and
thrusts far away those who, having the
giants strength, use it to Cypress or
destroy the weak and ignorant.
But whether the Bishop believes 1t
or NOT. that is just exactly what has
been done. 1t seems to ali sober
minded people that instead OF glority-
;nc the victories this country has gain
ed in the Spanish and Filipino wars
the less said about them the better.
No right thinking man is proud OF
whipping weak enemy, nor does he
receive any credit for such feat, and
what is true of one man is equally rs
true of nation.

BOOKER WASHINGTON of Alabama
may be a wise negro, but thst Bishop"
Turner of Georgia is 8 wiser one, goes
without saying. The former says edu-
cation will promote better feeling be-
tween the two races in the South, but
the latter says the negro can never rise
in this country, and that if there be any
hope for him, it must be in his native
cline, to which he advises all OF them to
emigrate as soon as possible. Seven mil
lion negroes at home to contend with,
ought to be enough to satisfy most
reasonable people, without adding to
shat number additional millions in Sa-
moa, Hawaii, Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippine Islands.

hand in the fire fighting. They were

swept unexpectedly down upon them

whom will vote the republican ticket.
With many white people and the whole
