Sheriff Scott testified to missing the 3
quilts from the Jail and produced two
quilts which he found in the possession
of the defendant at the time of the lat
ter's arrest, but was unable to positive
ly identify them as the ones which were
missing. Dick johnson and Indian
Charley both testified that they heard
the defendant in the front room of the
Jail on the evening of May 9th, after
they had been locked up in their cells;
that they talked with him and heard
him get out of the window.
The defendant, by his own testimony
supported by that of Harry Hunter
and Davie Butson, proved that he was
in possession of the two quilts several
days before they were alleged to have
been stolen, and he further successfully
accounted for his whereabouts on the
evening of the 9th inst. The Court

DEATH OF A NEVADA NOLUN
TEER

All doubt as to the identity OF the
Chas. +. Stewart who died on the
Transport Sherman few weeks ago,
en- route from Manila to San Francisco,
has been removed. X. c. Davis of this
place received a letter last Tuesday
from the Depot Quartermaster at San
Francisco, stating that the deceased
was an x-member OF the Nevada Vol
unteer Cavalry.
Very little is known here OF the past
history of this young man, who has
sacrificed his life in the service OF his
country. He first came to this locality
from Mountain City, Elko county, some
four years ago and found employment
on Gov. Adams Hot Creek ranch In
White River valley. He worked there
continuously until a short time before
his enlistment, when he was employed
at X. c. Davis sawmill He was ex
tremely reticent concerning his previous
career, and there were those who be-
lieyed that he had something to con-
ceal. Be that as 1t may, his conduct
while here was exemplary and he made
many friends who will be sorry to hear
OF his untimely death,

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Harrington Will Run For Con-
ppess.

Attorneys e. S. Harrington OF Elkc
and Geo. A. Bartlett of Eureka, who
were in attendance at Court here last
week, paid the News pleasant call on
Thursday. Reports have been current
for some time that the former will be a
candidate for the Congressional nomin-
alton at the Republican convention this
fall, and in response to our question as
TO the truth of the reports, he strongly
intimated that ''Barkis is willin =. He
stated that it had long been his ambi-
tion to serve term at Washington
and he believed that conditions are
propitious for Republican success in this
State at the coming election. Mr.. Far
rington is a man of ability and honor,
and has won an enviable position in his
profession. It is doubtful if his party
could nominate stronger man for
Congressman.
Mr. Bartlett, on the other hand, is
an enthusiastic Democrat, though, as
he said, without political aspirations,
which we took with a reasonable
amount of salt. During a general dis.
cussion of State politics, he made the
interesting statement that during re-
cent trip to the western part of the
State he talked with prominent men of
all parties, and failed to find one who
believed that the Silver party would be
an important factor in the coming cam
paign. Everything indicated, he said
that the voters would be divided on the
old party lines.
Both gentlemen left for their homes
on Friday morning.

BULLBR MOVES AT LAST.
The Boers Retreat Before Rob-
ertS.

LONDON, May IA special dis
patch from Stone Hill Natal, dated
to-day, says:
General Buffers advance commenced
Thursday, when he left Ladysmith in
strength When within tive miles oi
Helpmaakar the Beers opened heavy
artillery fire and the British guns re-
piled, while Il portion Of Buffers troops
worked round the Boer tanks. The
British attack was pressed home Sun
day. Bethune on the right outtlanked
the Doors, whose splendid defensive po-
sitions on the Biggarsberg were prac-
tically taken.
General Buller's march. subsequent
to the attack, was carried out without
hitch. The British are still pushing
on.
Telegrams from Kroonstad indicate
that General French's S cavalry is keep
ing touch with the Beers, but perhaps
Lord Roberts will be compelled to order
brief halt OF his main body in order
to allow the troops to recuperate after
the exhausting marches OF the past
week.
All the correspondents agree that to
all intents and purposes the Free Stat
ers have severed their military alliance
with the Transvaal, though scattered
bodies, they say, will possibly hold out
here and there for some time.
At the same time a dispatch from
Cape Town dated to-day says proca-

also said that General Botha, the Com

TAXING POSTAL CLERKS.
Report of Assessments to Influence
Legislation Denied.

Regarding the reported assessment OF
$40 of every postal clerk in order to Sc
cure the passage of a bill in Congress,
known as the Classification bill, First
Assistant Postmaster General Heath pro-
fcssed absolute ignorance, but admitted
that his chief clerk, Mr.. Allen, and Mr..
Beavers, the chief clerk of the Division of
Salary and Allowances, might be able to
give some information on the subject. To
these two officials Mr. Heath referred ey-
eryone enquiring about the matter
MI. Allen was very emphatic in his
statement that the old order of Postmaster
General Wilson had been reissued by Post
master General Smith. This order forbids
every employe or clerk of the Postofice
Department from, in any shape or manner,
contributing toward fund which is to be
used in influencing legislation. Not only
money contributions are under the ban,
but the ukase also prevents every employe
OF the postal service from coming on to
this city for the purpose of influencing
legislation in his favor. or from sending
paid or unpaid agents here to perform the
work for them. The postal authorize.
hold that all legislation affecting the veal
or woe of the postal service should ena-
nate from the Postmaster General, as he
Is supposed 10 De acquainted with the
minutest details OF the Department Should
any of the employees dare to transgress Or
disobey the order of the Postmaster Gem
eral, he or she is to be Immediately dis
missed from the service.
Mr. Beavers, Chief of the Division of
salary and Allowances, evidently takes d
different view of the matter than that held
by the head of his Department. He said
he could not see any wrong in the move
ment. providing the tax is levied for the
purpose OF obtaining legitimate improve
ment of the postal clerks condition. He
said: The postal employees have as much
right to endeavor TO improve their lot and
have the same privileges to look out for
their own interests as any other individual
has, as long as this is not done in dis
obedience of law and Justice
Assistant Postmaster Davis, of the
Washington City postofiice. said that as
far as he knew no assessments for the
above cited purpose had been made in the
Washington office. Mr.. Davis said he did
not know anything about the alleged
movement and assessment beyond what he
had seen in the newspapers

A PROTEST FROM TURKEY
Complaint Filed Against United
States Consul.
Recent Alleged Criticisms of officials
fn Jerusalem by Our Representa-
tive There Objectionable to the
Porte - Minister Ali Ferrouh Boy
Calls mt the State Department.

Ali Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish Minister in
with the State Department against articles
written by Selah Merrill, United States
Consul at Jerusalem, and recently printed
In the Christian Herald of New York
in which severe criticism is made OF the
Turkish authorities in Jerusalem. The
protest amounts to a notice that Mr. Mer-
rilrs usefulness in the Sultan's POSSES
sions has ended, and it appears to be GER
tain that he will be recalled by the Gov
eminent or his exequatur Cancelled by the
Porte. Such action is contingent on admis-
zion by Mr.. Merrill that he is the author
of the Objectionable articles which were
published over his signature, or proof that
lie furnished them. The State Department
has already taken cognizance in the COM
plant, and while its action will not be
disclosed by the officials, IL is safe to
assume that Mr.. Merrill has been asked
whether he wrote the articles.
Mr.. Merrili's contributions to the Chris
tian Herald" accuse Turks in Jerusalem
of being murderers, and says that the
authorities wink at their evil doings. Ali
Ferrcuh Bey's communication is couched

Its Purposes Defined at the Open
ing of the Session.
Frank w. Hnckett, Assistant Secre-
tnry Of the Navy, Calls Attention
to Differences Between the Institu-
ton and Naval Academy-To APP
ply Rules Worked Out in Battle.

NEWPORT. R. l., June 1.-The regular
| sumner session of the War College was
! formally opened this morning, Frank w.
Hackett the Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, addressing the class. There was the
largest gathering which has ever attended
an opening. The Introductory remarks
were made by Capt. C. H. Stockton. the
president OF the college. He then intro
duced Assistant Secretary Hackett, who
was received with great applause. Mr.
Hackett spoke, in part, as follows:
With you permission, l will speak
from the standpoint OF the average Amer
lean citizen. Our Navy has never been
entrenched more firmly in the popular
heart than at this very hour. Time was
when admiration for our sailors found
home chiefly along the seaboard but to-
day 1t knows no bounds of locality. Coast
and interior alike pulsate with thrill of
patriotic fervor for glorious achievement.
The peaks of the Rockies. as it We're. catch
the spray of Inspiration. No village in the
land is SO remote that the guns of Dewey
and of Sampson have not awakened glad
dening echoes within its borders.
1T is curious to note that tive branches
of the service which have SO much in
common should differ widely when brought
to definition. Speak of the Army, and
you call before you a body of men armed
and trained Speak of the Navy. and we
picture to ourselves ships armed and fur
nished with officers and crews. That is to
say while the former means men, the lat
ter brings up the material instruments
with which men work-a ship and her
guns. rather than the man himself.
But the world has personified a ship.
from the days a. Homer dawn. The Gus ON
ought not to blind one to the truth that
the ship and her armam Mt Is, after all,
but so much inert matter. 1t is the MAJ

You will pardon the i'lusOn, but
shall not soon forget the ; erience OF one
