COURT RELEASES THE
IDAHO MINERS FROM PRISON.

San Francisco, Oct 2.-Through de-
cision rendered. today by tN United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, the ten
Idaho strikers convicted of con-
spiracy to obstruct train carrying the
mails will secure release from San
Quentin.
The cnse grew out of the big strike
In Idaho in 1890 and the destruction Of
the mill of the Bunker Hill and Sui
Ivan Mining Company.
In their decision Judges Gilbert, Ross
and Morrow call attention to the fact
that the indictment does not charge
that the conspiracy and for Its pur-
pose to knowingly obstruct the mails.
Continuing, the judge said:
1T Is alleged that they willfully and
knowingly delayed and obstructed the
movements of the train. While 1t is
true that the laws make the railways
OF the United States postal roads for
carrying the mail. and large number
or the passenger trains are engaged In
carrying the mail. The defendants in
this case are not charged with the
overt act of obstructing the passage of
the mails, but with conspiracy. 1t
Is the confederation and conspiracy to
commit an offense against the United
States that they are called upon to
answer. AS charged In the Indictment,
the conspiracy is declared TO have for
its purpose to knowingly hinder and
delay the movement and passage of n
certain railway car and train which

THE FULL DINNER PAIL"

From the Cincinnati Enquirer:
What is the lowest price at which
we can procure labor?" This is the
first question asked by these pampered
Hannaites when they go into large
undertakings. Their constant policy
is to keep labor cheap and plenty.
They are 'two-faced." On the stump
they talk about the dignity of labor
and in business they show contempt
for it. They appear to regard work
ingmen as submissive fools. They do
not give them credit for enough per-
ception to see that even in these times
of glorious prosperity" when there
is a great strike among even skilled
workmen, there are always thousands
of idle men ready to take their vacated
places at any price that will keep soul
and body together" There is great
danger that the administrationists
will overdo the work to which the,
are about to address themselves. They
will draw so warm an ideal of pros
perity that the masses who. even at
the best. are living from hand to
mouth" will wonder why a few of
the luxuries are net coming their way.
They have been made acute by their
long suffering and by the class dis
tinction that has been promoted by
Republican legislation, and it will not
take them long TO discover that there
is monopoly of prosperity.

Toledo, having been elected and re-
elected despite the opposition OF ma
chine politicians, his platform consist
Ing simply of the Golden Rule.
Last year Mayor Jones ran for gov
ernor on his chosen platform and such
was his hold on the laboring men, the
reform element in Ohio, that he polled
the phenomenal number Of 106.721
votes-phenomenal for an independ-
ent candidate. He carried his own
county, Lucas. by plurality of 1875
over Nash, the Republican nominee
for governor, and carried Hanna's
county, Cuyahoga, by plurality Of
l4,934 over the Republican candidate.
In 1896 Cuyahoga county. including
the city of Cleveland, gave a majority
OF 5,451 for Mckinley while Lucas
county. including the city OF Toledo.
gave the Republican candidate 2.299
majority. 1t is conceded by reepubli-
cans and democrats alike that Mayor
Jones action will result in political
revolution in the Buckeye state. The
republican campaign managers are
panic-stricken and are wondering
where the Bryan lightning will strike

car it is subsequently alleged carried
the mails of the United States.
ut is of no offense against the United
States to hinder and delay the passage
of railway car and consequently II
is no ofYensc to conspire or confederate
for that purpose Such an offense must
be dealt with under state laws.
"The conspiracy as charged In the
indictment lacks an essential ingredi-
ent to an offense against the United
States, to-wit, that the defendants
knew that the mails of the United
States were carried upon the train,
which they consplred to obstruct. 1t
may be that they all had such know
ledge or that the facts and crcum-
stances shown in the evidence were
sufficient to charge them with such
knowledge, but that does not dispense
with the necessity Of setting forth In
the Indictment all the elements Of the,
wrongful act which they consplred to
commit"
The decision quotes from Hawkins
as follows:
I'm an Indictment nothing material
shall be taken by intendment or i'm
plication." Continuing, the court says:
"The above authority sustalns the
proposition that an Indictment for
conspiracy to commit an offense
against the United States must charge
every element of the offense as fully
as If the Indictment was for Its perpe-
tration"

PRINCE TUAN
REMOVED FROM OFFICE

Washington, Oct. 2.-The Chinese
minister has received official confrma-
tion of the issuance of an imperial de-
cree degrading Prince Tuan, Kangi
and other officials for their course in
regard to the recent troubles in China.
This information agrees with that
contained in dispatch received by the
State Department from Consul Nc
Wade at Canton.
The minister has heard nothing of
the selection of officials designated by
Minister Conger TO act in concert in
1t Is correct.
Several important dispatches were
received to-day from China. Generally
they tend to confirm the events record
ed Saturday. From Canton, Consul
McWade reports the issuance of the
decree Furnishing Tuan and his col
leagues, so that there is no longer
doubt as to the accuracy of Sheng' $
statement on that point. Mr.. Conger
also has received official notification
of the Chinese peace commission,
which was forecasted by Minister
Wu's advlces several days ago. Mr..
Conger made no reference to the con-
demnatory decree, hence 1t is Inferred
that 1t was not issued when his dis
patch was sent last Thursday. The
Conger message says:
''IIave received notice to-day from
Prince Ching that he. Earl Ii. Yung Lu
and Niceroys Kun vi and Chang Chip
1ung Will act in concert i'm negotia-
tions for peace. Yung Lu is in the in
terror. Ii Hung Chang is at Ticn
Tsin."
The appointment of Yung Lu Is not
likely TO be satisfactory 10 any other
of the powers. as Yung Lu has made
himself as offensive as Prince Tuan.
He is generalissimo OF the imperial
troops and Is regarded as mainly re-
sponsible for the persistent fight on the
legations during the crisis. The other
commissioners are highly acceptable.
Chaffec reports he Is moving with
rapidity toward the execution Of the
departments orders relative TO the
withdrawal OF his troops.

MINING HAS NOT

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 2.-Notices of the
Increase in wages and the reduction in
the price Of powder decided upon by
the operators ut Wllkesbarre to-day
were posted tonight at all collieries In
the 1.ehigh region.
President Mitchell. when shown n
copy of the notice, declined to say any.
thing ut this time, but intimated that
he might outline his position at the
Wilkesbarre meeting tomorrow. He
adued, however, that there would be
no resumption of work until conven-
tion of the anthracite miners had been
called and the proposition considered.
Although the labor leaders positively
sad they did not fear break in the
ranks of the anthracite coal strikers.
they were nevertheless pleased to learn
that the ten per cent. advance granted
by the Philadelphia * Reading Coal
and Iron company In the Schuylkill
valley was totally ignored. by the
striking mine workers today. 1t was
predicted that many of the strikers
would return to work under the belief
that the ten per cent. increase would
he the limit of the operators conces.
sions. and the unanimity of the men In
deciding to stand out for further
advance caused much surprise.
