Crowd.

Z ..
Emporia. Kansas March S.-Two high
waymen, one of them masked, entered
the village of Olpe, near here last night
and held up dozen people, the occu-
pants of two stores. The men first en-
tered the store of Youn & Diebolt, where,
besides the two proprietors, four GUS
toners We're robbed at the point of
rifles. They marched the six victims
before them to the general store of S.

We're relieved of some checks and what
money they carried. All eight men, with
four others, who had gathered in the
street, We're then marched ahead of the

Van zdndt'S VindiCdti0n

Asher had just finished putting an
extra block of coal in the blazing crate
and was tapping it with the tongs TO
increase its brisk glow, when one OF
the men spoke, thus breaking the chain
of silence. Outside. the air was filled
with particles of swirling snow, and. all
portentous of night indoors. with
ioyial companions, one youthful men,

told me he was coming here at 10; were
due to finish that tie game of billiards,
but, as yet, I've seen no sign OF him.
Wonder what's the matter?"
"Oh. YOU need IT bother about Van

BYRNE MAKES DENIAL.
Says Els Wife Has no Interest in His
Property.

Edward Byrnt has fled an answer to
the divorce suit brought against him by
his Wife, f :zabeth. IN the document he
admits that the property mentioned In
III Complaint sthn1s n his name but de-
n es that the arser part of the money
expended in its purchase and improve
ment was realized by the persona! eNer-
tons and labor of the plaintiff. He es-
pec:a'ly and alphabetically denies that he
wilfully deserted the plaintiff for a per-
loi of three years. He states that in
August of 1897. with the knowledge of the
plaintiff. he Went to the I<londyke cor:--
try of Alaska With the intention of bet
tering his condition. but he found things
there different 10 what he had anticipate
ed. Ever since then. he says he has
faithfully endeaN9red to earn money TO
better provide for his wife and their MIN
or children: that at the time he left
Butte the property was in the care of the
plaintiff and she was realizing a revenue
of more than 500 a month from it, be-
sides the board of herself and children,
that during al of that time he was ao-
sent the revenue from the property was
ample and did provide abundant means
for the support of the plaintiff and the
children: that during the time he was
absent she knew his whereabouts and
that he corresponded with her as often
as possible.
Further. Byrne says he is of the opn-
ion and therefore alleges the fact to be
that the main purpose OF institutlng the
action against Kim was to deprive him OF
his interest in the property.

LUMBER IN The
PHILIPPINES
sPooNER BILL ALLOWS NO CUT
TING OF TIMBER ON THE
PUBLIC LANDS.

Manila, March S.-Disappointment
among the American business men here
with the limitations of the SpoOner
amendment to the army bill is increas-
ing as it's provisions become better
known. 1t is considered to be especially
unfortunate in apparently prohibiting
the issuing of licenses for the cutting of
timber upon public lands. If this in
depreciation proves correct it will be a
bonanza for the few owners of private
timber lands in these islands and the
beginning of building activity in all
towns will be considered retarded.
An inquiry has been cabled to Wash
ington asking whether this prohibition
on timber cutting is to be l,nsidered
as included in the amendment. The for
estry department of the Philippines
hitherto has issued licenses for cutting of
timber upon public lands for one year.
The question OF the sales and ap-
portionments of land and mining rights.
although Importantly affecting the
growth of business and the settlement
of Americans in the Philippines. can
wait until the regular session of con-
Sress. but lumber is liz such great de-
mand for building purposes that it
would be considered most unfortunate
should the control of Tvs production be
vested in those few men who now own
timber land.
There is some talk here of sending a
petition to Washington for an extra ses-
sion of congress, but the fear is general
however. among certain elements. that
this action might not result in any ma
teral good. Regret is eXpresser here
at the fact that congress does not en-
trust the timber, mining and land loca-
tons to the discretion of the civil ad-

ABOUT TITLED PEOPLE.

The queen of Portugal is one Of the
mots popular reigning soyereigns alive;
so that anything like revolution in
Portugal is absolutely out Of the ques-
tion. The recent act of heroism through
which she saved a fisherman from
drowning will not diminish that popu.
larity. The fisherman was in a boat
which capsized, and was in a very bad
way, indeed, when her majesty. who
happened to be near, flung herself into
the water swan to the rescue, and
brought him safe to shore. Any one who
has ever tried to swim with his or her
clothes on will realize the pluck of the
young queen. and as it turned out that
the fisherman's leg was broken, her act
deserves all the more wonder and admire
alton.

MCCIernan and Found Guilty, Without
Moments Delay.
Defendants Five Lawyers Make No Move to Save Him
But Will Swear Out nabeaS Corpus

in receiving sentence, but Judge McCler-
nan said he would pass judgment to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
This gambling case, in which Towner
is the defendant, is to be made test
case, just as the case of Reynolds, who
was arrested at the same time and place
as he, is to be made one. The method of
procedure in the cases will be different,
however. The defendants attorneys will
attack the law in different ways, but aim
at the same results.
In this case, the defendant will go
to Jail, and then a writ Of habeas corpus
will be secured from the supreme court;
and in the habeas corpus proceedings
the constitutionality of the gambling act
will be raised and passed upon by the
supreme court. If the law is pronounced
unconstitutional the defendant will be
freed and his prosecution become of no
effect.
Also a precedent will be set up that
will be a guide to the officers whose duty
it is to enforce the laws.
In the Reynolds case. which has now
gone to the supreme court on writ of
prohibition. the constitutionality of the
gambling law is raised midway in the
prosecution of Reynolds in Judge Nc
Clernan's court.
The difference in the methods adopted
to raise the question of the validity of
the law in the two cases lies in the diff
ferent points in the prosecutions of the
defendants at which the question is
brought up. In the Reynolds case the re-
course Is made to the supreme court
by the writ of prohibition after the plea
of the defendant. upon the question of
the district courts right to try the de-
fendant. In the Towner case the lower
court Is permitted to try, convict and inn
prison the defendant. and then the ques-
tion of the courts right to punish him
is raised in the habeas corpus proceed
ings. In both appals to the supreme
court the constitutionality Of the law
is the real matter brought up for settle
ment.
In the af1idavits attached to petitions
for the different writs is no hint of the
defects in the gambling law which the
lawyers for the defendants depend upon
to overcome the law. The only thing
alleged against the law is general un:

Admiral Schley today stated that since

counsel in his case and that he would
be assisted by Captain James Parker, of
New Jersey, and by M. A. Tague, of Bal

the battle of Santiago on July 8.
The southern coast Of Cuba, III the
vicinity of Santiago, was plainly marked
and the points at which the Spanish
ships went to the bottom or to the shore
were all indicated in plain letters.
There We're also a number of large

Before Mr.. Claxton took the stand
Commander Heilner was recalled to
rake a few minor corrections in the

Mr.. Claxton said that on July 3, 1S9S
he had been on duty in the engine room

after the beginning of the action been
changed to full speed astern.'
To his knowledge there had been no

He said he had been excused from serv-
