BLOODY MUTlNY IN A PRISON
Desperate Native Prisoners at BiIibid
Assault Guards -Four are Killed.

Washington. - Manila newspapers
just received at the War Department
give details of a desperate mutiny
among the native prisoners in Bilibid
prison, which resulted in the death or
four, and the wounding of fifteen of
them. The report states that the out
break came without the slightest
warning. The officials of the prison
were going about their duties on a
hot summer afternoon, the 10th of
July last, when little Filipino, serv-
ing a life term, assumed a crouching
attitude and began to creep up behind
the native foreman, giving utterance
to low growl like a wild beast.
The effect was electrical on the
other convicts. In an instant the NUT
/ terings had grown to wild roar, and
every prisoner was making for the
keepers with murder in his eye. The
senior captain of the native guard,
when he commanded the mob to dis
perse, was slashed across the back of
the head with a bolo. Then the in
furiated men started for the gateway
of the prison to overpower the guard
and escape. They were met by Major
Rogers, the commandant, and a small
portion of the guard, who fired a vol
ley into the ranks of the fugitives.
Three men fell and this seemed to
check the prisoners for an instant, but
their leader, a Filipino of the most
desperate type, urged them on. Though
already wounded by the first fire, his
spirit was unbroken and four times
the rifles spoke before he fell. Then,
like rats in a trap, the prisoners tried
first one gateway and then another,
and very probably would have over
powered the guard and made their es-
cape, had not body of the prisoners
themselves come to the rescue and
helped to capture the fugitives. A few
more volleys from the reinforced
guards and the prisoners scurried to
their quar- ters in abject terror.

MASKED ROBBERS DO MURDER
Bandits Shoot brave Chicago and Al
ton Railway Waterman and Escape.

Marshall, Mo.-Between 1 and 2
o'clock a. m, H. H. Mowrey, night
operator of the Chicago and Alton
Railway, was held up by three masked
robbers, who entered the station and
commanded him to open the safe. He
did not know the combination and re-
fused. No attempt was made to blow
open the safe, but one of the robbers
cleared out the money drawer at the
ticket window, securing a few dollars.
C. c. Aulgur, night Waterman, on
his rounds discovered the intruders,
and, pointing his pistol through the
partly open door, commanded the men
to surrender. The man at the cash
drawer, who was nearest to Aulgur,
jumped toward the latter and shot him
through the right eye. Aulgur also
fired one shot at his antagonists, but
it is not known that it took effect.
Aulgur fell back in the waiting-room
and died soon after. The robbers es-
capped and there is no clew to their
whereabouts.

Aside from the ethical objection to
king-killing there is a distinctly prac-
teal argument to be urged against the
process. The killing of monarchs is.
useless. 1t tends to defeat the osten-i
sible object sought to be accomplished
The king killer processes to Terminated
by desire to abolish tyranny. He
murders a king. What is the result?
Every repressive agency at the disposal
Of the government is placed in opera
ton. Police spies swarm in the cities.
suspicion rules in the country districts.
Obsolescent laws against lese-majeSte
are furnished up and made to do SER.
vice. New laws are speedily enacted
What was condition of constitutional
government becomes an iron tyranny
so far as the authorities are able to in
stitute such a regime. Tyranny has
not been abolished. 1t has been accen-
tuated. The tyrant who has been
killed is succeeded by another tyrant.
The king never dies. The anarchist
bent upon eXterminating tyrants might
kill king every day in the week and
still the thrones would be filed and
every succeeding king would certainly
and inevitably be a greater tyrant than
his predecessor. He would become al
tyrant in self-defense. 1t is an evil
dence of the deficient mentality of anar-
chists that they do not see these things
that they go on numbering altruists
like Alexander of Russia and women
like Elizabeth of Austria with the idea
that they are thereby contributing to
the welfare of mankind. AS matter
of fact they are rendering harder the
lot of humanity over all the world. The
assassin's dagger never advanced the
human race a single inch on the road
to liberty. There is plain, orderly and
hopeful means of accomplishing the ad-
vancement of Europe, but the anar-
chistS never consider that means. They
never consider that agitation for the
form of democracy which obtains in
North America-which has endured for
125 years-offers every hope for the
abolition of that tyranny under which
they profess to groan. They cannot or
they will not see that the moment a
majority of the people in any nation
make up their minds to govern them
selves the monarchy is bound to go
peaceably if possible, forcibly if need
be. In the blacklist despodsm as in the
most enlightened republic the people
may rule if they elect to do so. The
anarchist fights windmills. He kills a
man and imagines that he is killing an
institution. If he had good sense he
would devote himself to undermining
the institution. That overthrown, the
man would go without being killed.

Mrs. Botkin Will Get New Trial.

San Francisco.-Mrs. Cordelia Bot
kin, who was recently convicted of
poisoning Mrs. John Dunning and her
sister at Wilmington, Del, by means
of candy, and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, will get a new trial. The
Attorney General confessed an error
was made in the instructions of the
court to the jury, and the Supreme
Court has decided she must have a
new trial.
This action grew out of the case
of Murderer Hoff, who secured a new
trial because the judge gave instruc-
lions to the jury in regard to circum-
stantial evidence, which were regarded
as a comment on evidence submitted
during the trial. Precisely the same
instructions were given by the same
judge in the Botkin case.
Mrs. Botkin already has an appeal
before the Supreme Court on the ques-
ton of jurisdiction, as she was tried
here, though her victims died in Della
ware. In case of another trial, the
State of Delaware will not go to the
expense of sending witnesses out here,
and she may thus escape.

Kaufman and the wounding of David
Mitchell, in April, 1897, by "regula-
tors" Four years ago a band of
thieves began wholesale operations in
nearly every part of the county. Many
arrests were made, but alibis were al
ways forthcoming. Finally the citi-
zens organized for their own protec-
tion.- Suspicion pointed to the home
of Mitchell as the rendezvous of the
thieves. In an attempt of the ''regu
lators" to apply the hickory switch
a fight ensued, which resulted in the
killing. A death-bed confession of one
of the parties engaged in the fight
came to the knowledge of Prosecuting
Attorney H. H. Ball, who secured the
