Discord Stories overdone.

Washington, July Elm the alb
sence of direct news from China
attention was directed mainly to the
more or less speculative stories emana-
ting from European capitals indicative
of discord among the powers 1t is
realized that these little ebul1itions of
mutual suspicion always characterize
allied movements, and SO are to be
expected in the present case 1t can
be stated that so far as official record
discloses, there is absolutely no ground
for them Russia, power more than
any other under suspicion in these
stories, has not been backward in
assuring the state department of the
coincidence of Secretary Hays declara-

Seattle, July 21--The Sequoia left
Nome late the night of the 3rd and
brings much late news about the small
pox epidemic.
The pest house at Nome is full and
overlooking with patients afflicted with
smallpox, and the government officials
are erecting two other large structures,
one of which, with adjuncts, will cover
an acre of ground. The disease has
spread rapidly and many cases are
quarantined in the tents in which they
were discovered. There are at least
200 cases of smallpox in the pesthouse
and around the camp, and the people
are being taken down at the rate of
seventeen to twenty a day.

Washington, July 21--A member of
the cabinet is quoted saying that
neither the fact, if it so develops. that
our legation is murdered, and that it
was done by the connivance of the
government, would necessitate a special
session of congress. He said that if
Russia has been attacked over the ST

A New Law Point Raised.

Abilene, Ks, July 24.-Before Judge
Mahan of the court of appeals was
brought a habeas corpus case that
raises new question in the prosecu-
ting of iOintiSts. A Lincoln jOintiSt
was arrested and one of the witnesses
subpoened by the police judge refused
to attend court The judge pro-
nounced him in contempt and fined him,
committing him to jail. He asks
lease on the ground that the new con-
tempt law of the state does not allow
of punishment for contempt without
trial before jury except the offense
is committed in the presence of the
court. AS the police judge cannot call
a jury for this sort of a case he seems
to be at loss to enforce attendance
on his court unless he can go to anoth-
er court for a trial.

come within a very short time. Pres.

President Mitchell appears to be more
anxious about the Delaware, Lacka-

of the others. these companies have:
taken such a prominent part in the
struggle that is is believed that as
soon as they post supplemental no
