rLAGRANT ABUSE OF POWER IN IDAHO
The Minority Report on the Occur D'Alene
Investigation.
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington. June 1.-THE minority re-
port on the Occur D'Alene investigation
was given out today by Representatives
Lentz, of Ohio, and Hay, of Virginia, who
drafted it. The following is a summary
of its main features:
The minority point out that the evi-
dence taken during the investigation
shows that there was absolutely no riot-
ing in Shoshone county, Idaho after April
29th. 1899; that when the United States
troops arrived upon the scene quiet had
been restored, and no resistance was be-
ing made to the State authorities, who
were arresting as rapidly as possible those
who were suspected of being implicated
in the crime of April 29th. 1899.
THE troops sent to Idaho by the Presi-
dent of the United States continued to be
under the control of the President, and
that the military commander in command
could only use the troops to aid the civil
authorities of the State to preserve peace
and order and prevent resistance being
made by lawless persons to the process
of the courts and the proper civil authcri-
ties of the State. The President of the
United States has kept and is still keep
ing soldiers in that community, and by so
doing is upholding a tyrannical course of
conduct pursued by the Governor of
Idaho.
The minority point out five fragrant in
stances of abuse of power and violation
of law by General Merriam, the command
er of the troops.

Washington, June 4.-The following
Department from United States Minister
Conger at Pekin:
"Pekin, June 4.-Outside of Pekin, the
murders and prosecutions by the boxers
seem to be on the increase the Pao Ting
Flu Railway is temporarily abandoned.
Work on the Pekin and Hangkow line is
stopped. All foreigners have fed. The
Chinese Government seems either un-
willing or unable to suppress the trou-
bic. The troops show no energy in at
tacking the boxers
(signed) "CoNCEn"
Grave as these advices are, they have
not induced the State Department to
vary the line of action it has laid down.
The naval force of the United States near
Pekin. now represented by one vessel, the
Newark has not been strengthened but
if occasion should arise Admiral Kempff
might be reinforced to almost any eX
tent likely to be needed in the course
of three or four days, from the numerous
American fleet still at Manila and vicn-
ity. Owing to the peculiar character of
the Chinese coast, naval vessels of formi-
dable type are unable to approach popu-
luus provinces in China, and especially
are these boxer afflicted points inacceSsi-
bic to naval vessels. The State Depart
mcnt does not contemplate the use of
United States troops, and it would be diff
fcult to spare any from the force now
operating in the Philippines. even if it
were found expedient to employ the mill
tary arm. So. fer the time being at
least, the small marine contingents at
Pekin. and Tien Tsin must represent the
defensive power of the United States, for
it is distinctly stated that these marines
are employed simply in the protection
of the United States Legation and Con-
suates and for the assistance of such
American citizens as may be in jeopardy.
II is possible that the State Department
in assuming this correct attitude is in
fiuenccd by a desire to set an example
to some of the other powers, whose ac-
tions are not believed to be entirely dis
interested.
Some slight encouragement as to the
conditions prevailing at the end of the
Pekin Railroad, where the engineers have
been bcset, was conveyed indirectly in a
cablegram received at the State Depart
ment this afternoon. The Department
had cabled Minister Conger in the Inter-
est of friends of Rev Charles Tracy Pit
kim one of the American missionaries at
Pau Ting Flu asking for information as
TO his condition. Mr.. Conger replied that
the missionary was safe and we'll In OBJ
tanning this information he must have
first acquainted himself with the situation

Pekin, June d-(Sunday.) .)-The most
alarming reports are constantly arriving
from the country. especially from Pao
Ting Flu. The telegraph wires from
Peking to Pao Ting Flu are cut and all
news comes via Tien Tsin.

foreigners out of the country; the Mod
crate party led by Prince Ching, repre-
sent the serious danger of provoking
a conflict with the powers. 1t is impossi-
BILE to confirm or deny the report. but
significant Indications of the l1pI g

are contained in the attempt to arrest
Lin. Chinese manager of the Pekin Syn

Will Scott Shot by Henry
Jenkins. The Parties
Negroes.
lsncclal TO News and observer.l

Durham, ~ c., June 4.-There was
another murder committed in Durham
Sunday morning about 1880 o'clock, in
which Will Scott, a negro, was shot and
instantly killed by Henry jenkins. his
brother-i law.
From what can be learned it seems that
jenkins had been drinking and went to
the house of Scott's mother, who lives in
Hayti, in the southeastern part of the
city. and began to quarrel with Scott.
Matt. Hedgepeth, who lived in the same
house with Scott heard the two men and
got up and went to the door Just as he
opened the door he saw Scott sitting on
the porch and Jenkins standing in the
yard. He heard Jenkins using some
oaths towards Scott and dared him
TO come out in the yard. Scott arose
from his seat, and it was then that Jenk-
ins fired two shots. At the first shot
Scott staggered and fell over, and about
the time the second shot was fired he
fell TO the ground where he died in a few
seconds The murderer then ran off and
up to this writing had not been appre-
hended.
The dead man was about Il or " years
of age, and for the past two years had
been employed by DR.. NJ. Manning as
driver DR.. Manning said that Scott was
faithful employe and was quiet and po-
lite, and was not given to drinking
whiskey.
Jenkins, the murderer, was man who
drank considerable whiskey and was con
sidered fussy and dangerous when under
the influence of strong drink.
The officers are doing all in their power
to capture the murderer, and it is hoped
that they will be successful.

PIGEoN-HoLED BY NEELEY.
Recommendation For Check Upon the Bureau
of Finance Rathbones Examination.
(By the Associated Press }

Havana. June 4.-Acting Director of
Posts Bristow today ascertaned that the
amount of postal funds taken by c. f.
Neeley in May 1899, was $31. .312.95.
Neeley's monthly average was about $11,-
COO His system of bookkeeping was SIM
plicity itself. Apparently he merely divi-
ded the amounts received, taking one-half
for himself and account for the other.
This morning the examination of Estes
c. Rathbone, former Director of Posts
was continued The most startling fact
developed was that en- May 9TH of last
year Mr. Rathbone ordered Special
Agents Leather and Sullivan to examine
the accounts. They found a shortage, but
it was not thought that anything had gone
wrong They reported however that there
was no check upon the bureau of finance.
and they recommended that certain blank
forms be made, which would answer the
purpose, such as all pCstmasters use
when making their reports to the de-
partment monthly. Mr.. Maynard, then
chief agent, indorsed the recommendation
and forwarded it TO Mr.. Rathbone. The
latter approved it and sent it to Auditor
Reeves who initiated and forwarded it to
Neeley. After he had initiated it. in
stead Of putting the scheme into opera
ton he quietly pigeon holed it. and it
did not see the light until May 18th Of
this year, when the plan was put into
effect.
Mr. Bristow says he is almost sure that
the extent Of the steal will amount to
something between $50, 600 and 500, 600.
but that this will not touch the item
of surchaTge stamps. which is $411 900.
As to how many of these were burned and
how many sold il is impossible to obtain
definite information. AS many as have
been traced it is known positively that
all were not destroyed, but if Neeley
sold, say fifty or hundred thousand dol
lars worth it would not be surprising
Mr.. Brstow thinks, to find them scat
tered all over the world.
The postal inspectors say it is astonish
ing that a system so rotten could have
been concealed beyond the first month
Every day only adds to the surprises.
Lieutenant Colonel Burton. Mr.. Jones. the
special prosecutor and Mrs. Stevens will
leave tonight for the United States. Lieu
tenant Colonel Burton expects 10 return
here in about ten days.
Hopes are expressed by some of the
local papers that, as Governor Roosevelt
'la5 signed the extradition order, no
further time will be wasted in bringing
Neeley to trial These Journals point
out that "Neeley's conduct has d!sgra cod
Americans in the eyes OF Cubans, and
they declare that "the best way for the
Americans to redeem themselves is to
bring him TO q prompt trial"
