who gives his name as Smith, occupies
an adjoining cell, owing to the BRAY

shoes and were about to raid the
Ayers hardware store when they were

The wounded man shot at the pursu-
ers from a 3s-calibre revolver, but it
was the mistake of his life, for the
shot was returned, Lou Kostner an

"pal," who also had 3S-calibre re-

ably fatal, as it passed entirely
through the lower part of the abdo-
men. He utterly refused to give his
name or any information about his
parents, saying if he died his secret

commercial polid and scathingly
criticises Secretary Gage, who, it de-
clares, seems to seek quarrels on the
tariff question rather than encourage
reciprocity. In running against Rus
STA the Temps sees danger to Ameri-
can articles, although the tariff on
Russian petroleum may be pleasing
to Rockefeller. 1t asks where the
tariff war will stop. AS to Secretary
Gage, the Temps declares he is so
belligerant that the leaders of the
great American trusts are rubbing
their hands with joy over his action,
which is not, however, SO pleasing to
President Mckinley, who is more
moderate in his conduct.
In connection with Russian retalia-
ton, while the Russian government
openly declares that no boycott on
American goods is contemplated. yet
secret order has gone out to Euro
pean firms for a continental boycott
of American products. Russia's ac-
ton concerning American bicycles

UPHoLDs CONTEMPT Law.
Des Moines Judge Says Liquor Statutes


Are constitutional.
Des Moines, June 24.-Early in the
spring John Fairgraves, Valley
Junction saloon keeper, was cited to
appear and show cause why he
should not be fined for contempt of
court. 1t was charged that by maxi
ing illegal sales he violated the con-
ditions of an injunction against him.
Fairgrayes demurred to the injunc-
ton, and claimed that the offense
charged against him was not con-
tempt of court. He alleged that in
as,nuch as the judiciary is provided
for by the constitution it has the
power of itself and possesses the
power alone to determine what shall
and shall not constitute contempt.
1t was claimed that an effort on the
part of the legislature to enact laws
saying that this or that act shall con-
stitute contempt is an infringement
of the constitutional powers of the
court and necessarily unconstitution-
al. 1t was pointed out in this case
that the legislature has decreed by
statute that violation of liquor in
junction shall be contempt and I'M
dertalles to fix the penalty.
Judge Holmes has decided the case
against Fairgraves and upholds the
legislative enactment. o. M. Brocllett,
counsel for the defense. immediate
lv gave notice that he will appeal the
case to the supreme court.

HAY WRITES A LETTER.
Attempts to Smooth Over the Tar
iff Difficulty.

Washington, June 24-The state de-
partment has addressed to the Rus
sian government, as presented by
Count Casini, its ambassador, such
representations respecting the sugar
and petroleum tariff controversy as
are deemed necessary to meet the
Russian action. The purpose of the
letter is to smooth away, if possible,
the friction that has been engendered
between the two governments in the
handling of these two subjects and in
particular to divest the exchange of
any personal character. To that end
the effort is made to show that what.
has been done by the United States
government was in manner brought
about by the automatic operation Of
the American tariff laws. The facts
set out by the treasury statement
as to the provisions of the counter
vailing duty section are recited, to-
gether with the circulars and instruc-.
lions of the treasury department is
sued Hereunder. AS the Russian gov
eminent has been especially irritated
over the proceeding as to Russian
sugar imports into the United States,
particular attention is given to that
subject and reasons are adduced to
bring the Russian government to be-
lieve it should remit the increased
duties on American goods.
The Russian ambassador received
Secretary Hays note and took steps
to communicate it to the imperial
government This closes the incident
for the present, and it probably will
be some weeks or perhaps months be-
fore any further development occurs.
In the meantime Count Cassini will
in person go over the entire subject
with the officials at st. Petersburg.
and this gives hopes of satisfactory
adjustment, as the ambassador has
lost no opportunity during his last
three years. service in Washington to
harmonic differences and bring
about every possible measure of co.
operation between the two conn.
tries. He leaves Washington today
and will sail from New York on the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse.
Count Cassini is quite confident
that no i'll effects can come out of the
incident and his efforts will be di-
rected toward removing this and like
small irritations. Among state de-
partment officials it is felt to be a
fortunate circumstance that Count
Cassini will be in st. Petersburg when
the subject will be taken I'D.

the young man as the one who had

was considerable excitement about
the hotel, and large body of stud
ents and graduates who were here for
the commencement exercises soon
gathered. A number of Hays former
classmates at Yale positively identi-
fed the young man. 1t is believed
that young Hay became ill and went
to the window for air, was overcome
by a fit of dizziness and fell to the
ground below.

years of age. lie was appointed con-
sui to Pretoria early in 1900 to sue
