WATCHER
Murderer Of Colonel Stone, May
Not BE Brought Back.

Kingfisher O. T June 2-The extra
dition Of James Watcher, under arrest
at Juarez Mexico, accused Of killing
John F. Stone, president Of the Peoples
bank here, is still in allegiance, and it
begins to look as though Watcher
might not be brought back The delay
is said TO be due to the unwillingness
of Mexican officers who arrested
Watcher to turn him over to United
States officers before the reward Of
fered for Watchers arrest aud convic-
tion has been paid. The rewards ag.
gregate not less than $1,000. At least
part of the reward will not be aid
until Watcher is convicted. The
Mexican officers are not willing to
risk getting their money after Watcher
is brought home although In obs.ruct-
ing his eXtradition they are not sup
ported by any conditions n the extra
dition papers.

RESOLUTION
OF Good VIII Causes Tumult
At Confederate Reunion.

LOUISVILLE, KY, JUNE 1.-The
tenth annual reunion Of the United Con-
federate veterans adjourned sine die at
o'clock tonight. The meeting of 1901
will be held in Memphis. The annual
parade of the veterans was abandoned,
on account of the inclement weather.
The morning session ended In a state
Of great eXcitment. The trouble arose at
the conclusion of the presentation Of the
report of the committee on resolutions
A resolution had been incorporated gin
the report to the effect that the cnnven-
ton of confederates recognized with APP
probation the language Of General Dam
lei Il. Sickles, the orator at the annual
reunion of the Army Of the Potomac at
fredericksburg, in which General S,ckles
had mentioned most kindly the men of
| the Confederacy and the resolution said
the Confederates reciprocated the feeling
shown toward them by the men Of the
army of the Potomac.
Gen. Gordon put the question Of the
adoption Of the report There was a
chorus Of ayes and when he called for
the vote in the negative he said quick
ly THE ayes have it." After he had
announced the vote there came a few
cries of mo-" Gen. Gordon said: ct
did not think that there would be anv
negative votes on such a question. but
as there were some after I had declared
the vot~ l will now re-submit it,"
Inc author of the resolution. w. II.
Burgynn, made a strong plea for it's
adoption. He said that he had been
present at the meeting at Fredericks
purg and had heard the kindly senti-
ments expressed by the soldiers of the
north and he desired the passage of
the resolution merely as a matter Of
courtesy
Col. j. III. Sheppard secured the floor
and said:
want no coquetting with the Yank--
ees who defeated us. For Gods sake. do
not accept anything from their hands
Don [ accept anything from union soldiers
vote 1t down; comrades vote 1t down
instantly there was a terrible uproar
Dozens were on their feet demanding rec
ognition from the chair
General Gordon finally restored order
and in response to call for his opinion
said:
Il trust the time will never come while
/ stand on southern ground, or among
] pe'
will refuse to send a kindly message to
an enemy"
Then coming down to the front all of
the platform, the general raised his voice
In emphatic earnestness, saying:
81 know the sender Of this message. on
! the heights of Gettysburg he stood gal
lantly in front of my lines, and it was my
bullets that sent him to the rear with
leg off For me, I am going to recip-
rocate the kindly message of the north
ern soldier"
Wild cheers greeted this declaration.
General Gordon yielded the gavel to Cen
eral Cabell, who made a short address in
favor Of the resolution. He put the ques-
tion in the midst of such confusion that
his voice could scarcely be heard. 1t was
adopted with a roar Of assent

JAPS DESIRABLE CITIZENS

WASHINGTON, June /. - Robert
Watchorn, supervising special immi-
grant inspector at Tacoma, Wash, in
telegram to Commissioner General
Powderly received today, states that
two steamers have arrived at Victor.
b. c., within the last two DAYS with
900 japanese immigrants destined for
the United States, presumably to avoid
possible deportation. The inspection OF
the arrivals by tn steamship Glenogle
had been completed with the result
that so japanese immigrants were or
dered deported.
In the course of a letter received by
Mr., Powderly, Mr.. Watchorn says that
public sentiment in Tacoma is strong
ly against the so-called invasion of the
japanese and by public meetings,
newspaper criticism and the discus
sions in the meetings of working mems
unions an anti-Japanese sentiment is
being cultivated very thoroughly and
all political conventions (without re-
gard to party) recently held on this
coast and in the adjacent states have
vigorously declared in favor of re-
stricting or prohibiting Japanese immi-
BIdllOll
In discussing this matter in a sub
sequent letter Mr.. Watchorn says:
Despite the general public outcry
against this so-called invasion of the
Japanese, l am quite unable to identi..
fy myself with the publicly expressed
sentiment, that it is an unmixed evil.
The cleanliness of the average Japan
ese immigrant, the abundance and
condition of wearing apparel, the cash
he possesses, the diversified industries
they represent, their numerous and
widely separate destinations, their
health and yOuthfulness, all tend, In
my opinion, to deprive the so-called Inc
flux of such miscOnsidered danger to
the peace an dwelfare of society
Nevertheless it is quite apparent ther
is some unlawful immigration being
carried on as a purely commercial en-
terprise'

WARNINGS OF DEATH.

rev Highland Families Are with
out Some Manifestation.
Mention OF the "Airlie Music" which
SOUNDS It's wailing pipes and it's beating
drums at Cortachy Castle when the head
OF the Bonnie house O. Airlie" Is about
to be gathered to his fathers. has brought
out the fact that few Highland families
IN scotland of any standing are without
ghost or some other supernatural man
hesitation which gives warning when a
disaster is about to befall the head OF the
clan. Such intense cyclists as a High
land Scotchman or a German Hohenzol-
Tern take 1t as a matter Of course that
the natural order of things should be
changed when anything Is about to hap
pen to them. Hence the white lady who
haunts the palace of the king of Prus-
STA and the wailing pibrochs and the
ghostIy drumbeats which float around
hlghland castles. The Hastings family
although not strictly Of the Highlands,
have supernatural attachment known
as the Hastings Coach" The first Mar
quis of Hastings, who began life as an
army officer of the name of Rawdon, was
ennobled for defeating Gen. Greene in
| one of those battles in the South, OF
| which British minister said: "A few
more such victories and we are lost"

when 1t is time for him to take a ride
into the unknown. The Earl of Lou
doun and Lord Grey de Ruthyn are now
the heads of the house of Hastings, and
it is for them that the Hastings coach"
will have to call, for the last Marquis
Of Hastings, a notorious person, who was
ruled off of British race courses and died
in 1868, having burned his life out al the
| age of twenty-seven.
The late Lady Victoria Kirwan, sister
of the fourth and last Marquis of Hast
ings, used to relate to her intimate
friends an experience Of her own in this
connection which she herself at all
events firmly believed to be genuine. Lord
Hastingss last appearance at Newman
ket was in October, 1868, and between
that date and his death, mis- sister, Lady
Victoria, was one evening at his table.
In the middle of the dinner the lady
distinctly heard the wheels Of a carriage
passing the windows and Immediately
afterward ring at the door bell. Lord
Hastings evidently heard it also; for.
after turning sharply round to ask
servant whether he had not heard the
carriage and the ring, and receiving an
answer in the negative, he rose abruptly
from his place, saying he would 20 him
self and see who it was.
A silence round the table followed the
sudden exit of the young host Lady Vic
toria, who was seated at the opposite end
forgot the feeling that came over her
when Lord Hastings re-entered the dining
room, and, looking round his guests with
a white face and smile which his sister,
at least, perceived to be painfully forced,
said: I'll bet any one in the room a
thousand to thirty that I'm dead in
month" 1t was the phantom coach that
they had heard-they, and no one else of
those present, for it IS heard by none
save those of the blood. month later
the Young marquis was in his grave.
