HEADS OFF A SENSATION.
No Inquiry to Be Made Into B,ow,np I'm

No Inquiry to Be Made Into BIowinp IN
of the Maine.
Washington, June 10.-The govern
.ment has made formal announcement
OF its purpose to resist the PROPOSE
ton that the Spanish claims commits
sion take up the question of the re-
sponsibility for the destruction of
the battleship Maine, which question
is involved in a number of claims
now pending before the commission.
The contention will be made that the
commission has no authority to go
into the subject of responsibility. 1t
is pointed out that under article Z of
the treaty of peace "all claims for
indemnity, national and individual, of
every kind, of either government of
citizens or subjects against the other
government are relinquished."
The government of the United
States, by the last paragraph of the
same article, undertook "to adjudi-
cate and settle all claims of it's citi-
zens against Spain relinquished in
these articles"
1t is submitted that it was the in
tention of the treaty not to provide
for. but to relinquish and leave in
oblivion as settled in the tribunal of
war the grievance referred to express
ly in the joint resolution of April 20
as "the destruction of United
States battleship, with 265 of its Off
GERS and crew, while on a, friendly
visit to the harbor of Havana
The destruction of Spanish lives
and the loss of Spanish possessions
atoned for and settled any supposed
responsibility of Spain for the de-
struction of the Maine and her crew.
1t is pointed out also that congress
passed an act on March 80, 1898, for
the relief of the sufferers by the de-
struction of the Maine. That enact
ment expressly stipulates that the
payments made under it's provisions
"shall be in full satisfaction of any
and all claims against the United
States"

DIR. HEBRON is DROPPED
Formally Dismissed From Church
and rIlnlstry.

Grinnell, June 5.-The council called
by the Congregational church of
Grinnell to consider the case of
George d. Heron yesterday, dis
missed him from membership in the
church and from the Christian min
istry by unanimous vote. The in
dictment was in three counts and
the council found him guilty on each
count.
After listening to the testimony,
the council appointed committee
to draw up resolutions which should
embody the findings of the council.
The report submitted by the commit
tee was unanimously adopted and is
as follows:
>. At # council held in the First Cengre.
OF June, 1901. to consider. the right to
church membership and ministerial stand
ing of George D: Heron, the following
findings were rendered:
First.-That the charge of immoral and
unchrtstian conduct Is sustained by the
findings of the court, which at Algona. on
March u, 1901, granted decree Of divorce
10 Mary Eyerhard Heron from her hus-
band on the grounds Of cruel and inhuman
treatment
secend.-Tbe same charge is further sus-
ner toward the wife Who consecrated her
life to the effort to make him happy, re-
;ieve him Of care and aid him in what she
believed to be his high calling, has been that
OF unfeeling and selfish indifference and ut
least since 1896 of studied neglect, culmi-
mating In heartless desertion and the final
tragedy of diorce.
Third.-The same charge is still further
sustained by confession contained in the
paper written by Mr.. Heron in his own
defense and read to the council. In this
paper he denies the right of society to san
tion or undo a marriage tie between man
and woman, presents. u view of conjugal
relation, OF parenthood and the home which
Is abnorrent to enlightened Christian SEN
timent and which confirms the council in
the opinion that this action of George d.
Heron Is simply the criminal desertion
Of worthy life and a devoted mother by
man who has deliberately falsifed his
marriage VOWS. In view of these findings
it is
Resolved, That we recommend to the
Grinnell association that the name of
George D. Heron be dropped from Its roll
Resolved, That we express our conviction
that George D. Heron has forfeited all
right to be known by the churches of our
faith and order, to he known as a minister
OF the gospel, and that he is by vote of the
council deposed from the Christian minis.

Carnegie Completes Gifts to Universities
Of Scotland

of Scotland, Naming Conditions.
London, June s.-Andrew Carnegie
signed deed yesterday transferring
S1o,ooo,ooo in per cent United States
Steel corporation bonds to trustees
of the Universities of Scotland. The
amount becomes Immediately avail
able. The next installment of inter-
est can be used for the October term.
The deed contains a preamble, say
ing that Mr.. Carnegie, having retired
from active business, deems it to be
his duty and one of his highest privi-
leges to administer to the wealth
which has come to him as trustee
in behalf of others, entertaining the
confident belief that one of the best
means of discharging that trust is
providing funds for improving and ex-
tending the opportunity for scientific
research of the universities of Scot
land, his native land, and by render
ing the attendance easier. A consti-
tuition, as it is called, is attached to
the deed, directing that half the in
come be devoted to increasing the fa-
cilities for the study of science, medi-
cine, modern languages, history and
English literature. The other half is
to pay fees and assist students in
other ways, regardless of sex, and in
aid of preparatory schools, evening
classes and other means of education
outside the universities.

Statement in Detail Issued by the At

about two hours yesterday and sub
sequently very complete statement
of the true character of the illness
from which she has been suffering
was issued. Such statement has

while in San Francisco is was said
that the president desired full an

it has been withheld up to the pres

Mrs. McKinley's illness has been
blood infection resulting from pref

which began in Los Angeles and
which was promptly treated by in
lcision. The subsequent condition of
exhaustion was due to the same
blood infection asseverated with a
severe diarrhoea. She recovered, how
ever ,and was brought home in COM
fort and without loss of strength.
The principal causes of anxiety in her
case since her arrival in Washington
has been acute endocarditis Gnfam-

CHINESE iNDnMNIrr QUESTION:.
United states Cannot Join tho Powers In
Guarantee.


Guarantee.
Washington, June 1.-THE govern
ment has formally communicated to
the foreign powers the impossibility
of joining in joint guarantee for the
payment of the Chinese indemnity.
The difficulties in the way of such IN
arrangement are set forth in the
communication, particularly those re-
lating to the constitutional restric-
tions on the president in making a
joint guarantee of this character. In
view of the determination of the Uni
ted States not to be a party to \
Joint guarantee, there is anxiety
shown in diplomatic circles as to the
outcome on the question of indem-
mites. One view is that the majority
of the powers, being favorable to n
joint guaranty, will execute this joint
instrument and thereafter carry on
concert of their own. In that event,
it is said, the United States would
arrange directly with China as to the
American portion of the indemnity.
The representatives of most of the
European powers do not believe that
a resort to The Hague tribunal, as
proposed by the United States, will
he acceptable to their governments.

over the finding of peculiar stone
by Frank Butts of Humboldt, while
digging post holes. The stone is
about an inch in diameter and three
inches long, and looks very much like
a diamond. Mr.. Butts has had sew

being poor man, he wishes to know
its real worth before selling. He
therefore has sent it to New York,

SHERIFF REPULsEs MOB
Kills One Man and Fatally Wounds
Another.

Carrollton, Ca, June s.-The nerve
OF Georgia sheriff, whose name is
Joseph Merrill, yesterday upheld the
law of the state and saved the life
OF negro from mob. In protect
ing the negro, who was saved from
the gallows only few hours before
through the efforts of his lawyers,
one life was lost and two men were
wounded. The arrival of the state
militia averted threatened trouble
last night, and at o'clock a special
train bearing the negro, whose crime
was the murder of little white boy
whom he found fishing alone, was
speeding toward Atlanta under
guard. The man killed in attacking
the jail was George Bennett of Car
roilton, and the wounded men are
Thomas S. Word, father of the mur-
dered boy, and an unknown man
probably farmer.
Williams, the negro who caused the
trouble, was tried and found guilty
of numbering Otis Word, January /,
1901, and sentenced to be hanged yes
terday. He was only yesterday mornl
ing refused new trial by Judge Har-
ris, but his attorneys filed a bill of
exceptions and carried the case to
the supreme court.
A large crowd Of people had come
to town to witness the hanging, and
when it was learned that an appeal
had been taken to the supreme court,
delaying the execution, there was
much excited talk, which crystalized
of o,,3 s,, %ha G
a mob. At noon the mob made an
assault on the Jail. They battered
down the outside door, and, despite
the building. They made demand
on the sheriff for the key to the ne
gro's cell, but were refused. With
the refusal, they began their advance
upon the sheriff and the few depu-
ties which he had been able to sum-
mon to his side. They were told to
stop or they would be fired upon, but
the order was not obeyed.
AS they advanced down the corri-
most instantly. Thomas Word, the
father of Williams victim, who was
in the front of the mob. was badly
shot, as was also an unknown coun-
tryman. The unexpected fight of the
sheriff and his little posse frightened
the mob and they retreated outside
of the Jail. Here they broke and ran
and were soon divided into little
groups discussing the event. Sheriff
Merrill at once consulted Judge Har-
ris, of the county court, and it was
decided to- call upon Governor Cand-
Ter for aid. The governor was COM
municated with by telephone, and
said he would send two companies
from Atlanta as soon as they could
be assembled.

of $4,000 to a Chicago commission
house, where Mott would meet him,
