A County Agents Trouble.

County Agent NJ. w. Snyder, of
Grand Rapids, against whom ugly
charges have been made to Gov. Bliss,
appeared with his attorney to demand
an investigation ut the hands of the
governor. The matter was not taken
up by his eXcellency until late, and Il
question as TO the governors right to
order an investigation. rs in the case
Of other county officers, was raised.
There was some doubt on this point,
I'm view of the fact that the governor
has power to remove Il county agent
Summarily. The question was finally
referred to the attorney-generars de-
partment, which is now making an in
yestigatiOn. In the meantime an or

Sensational Reports.

Many sensational reports are being
circulated about cabinet action look
ing to the apprehension and prosecu-
ton of Emma Goldman and leaders Of
anarchist organizations. of mysterious
directions from the secretary Of war
To the chief of police i'm Buffalo. and
Of developments of q startling nature
that arc anticipated. The great ma
iority of these reports. in the words
of a cabinet officer. are ''manufactur-
ed out of whole cloth" The prosecu-
ton of Czolgosz is purely Il local af-
fair. The federal government can
have no hand in the prosecution of Il
local offender; his trial Will take place
in the local courts. The only request
Secretary Root has made to the super
interdent of police and the district at
tOrney here was one designed to pre-
vent the would-be assassin from being
made Il hero Of by exploitation. and the
local authorities have done everything
in their power to comply with it. The
police have been unable TO verify the
report that Emma Goldman was in
this city one week ago. but they are
endeavOring to trace her movements
Immediately before and after the preSi-
dent was shot. 1t is practically adj
mitted that so far they are without
any evidence that directly connects her
with CZolgosZ's crime.

Expiated a Remarkable crime.

Jas. Fleming was hanged in Deer
Lodge. Mont, Friday for participation
In one OF the most remarkable crimes
on record. On Aug. &. 1899. Eugene
Cullonane. an aged resident of Wash
ingt0n Gulch. was found murdered.
Clinton DolsOn. Charles Oliver Benson
and Ellis Persinger were imprisoned
for the crime. In January last Per-
singer Informed the prison officials
that Clinton Dolson and James Elem
ing. another convict, had conspired to
murder Capt. Oliver DOlson. father of
the convict. Fleming's term was about
to expire. The prison authorities gave
the story little attention. Fleming
was released. On Feb. 10 he was seen
i'm Washington Gulch. Feb. 20 the
body Of Capt Dolson was found in
his cabin with a bullet wound in the
head. On the wall was fixed a rife
with a string attached to the trigger.
A forged confession lay on the table,
in which Dolson was made TO say he
had committed the CullOnane murder.
This evidently was done for the pur-
pose of freeing the conspirators. A
Will, leaving the entire estate to his
son, WAS also found. Fleming was
captured and convicted OF murder on
circumstantial evidence. Clinton Dol
son also was convicted and sentenced
to be executed but was rcspited until
Oct. %.

Wa. n Murder Committed.

The Saginaw police have secured
evidence that either murder, suicide
or accidental drowning occurred there
within the last week. On the Sd inst.
a mans complete outfit. hat, clothes,
underclothes, shoes, ETC., were found
on the bank of the river. and at the

Coleman report that he left there for
Saginaw to secure employment on the

name is not on the books of the COM
pany either us an employe or appli-
cant, and no one has been found who
remembers seeing him in Saginaw.

The Ashville IN. c. Citizen says:
Those who have read of the recent
deeds of violence committed by ne
groes in Louisiana while banded to-
gether under the pretense of being or
ganized for religious and benevolent
purposes are not surprised to learn
that negro malta is about to be start
ed. The negroes in that vicinity have
been becoming very insolent and self
important and seem to have the idea
that a secret organization is all that
is necessary to enable them to accom-.
plish their purpose of dealing out
death to every white man who may
strike a negro or become an object of
their malice. The new order is said
to be under the leadership largely OF
negro preachers, who, having no use
for the ordinary virtues that are sup
posed to be advocated from the pulpit
have been devoting their questionable
talents to the preaching of lawless
ness.

The Huron Disnster.

Owing to the fortunate slackening
OF wind and sea and the heroic efforts
of n llfc-saving crew. what promised
on Saturday night and early Sunday
morning to be one Of the greatest ship
ping disasters of recent years on the
great lakes, has become of secondary
Importance. Out OF the crews of sew
ell vessels which went ashore within
Il half mile. just above Port Huron,
not a life was lost. Just what the
property loss will be cannot yet be
determined. One schooner. the ANA
ranth, % Detroit, is a total wreck: the
Quito and the Wawatam worked
themselves free on their own steam;
the whaieback 202 is high and dry on
the beach. but it is thought can be
saved; the Pauly. of Detroit, the
schooner Page and the tug Sarnia may
be released without injury. The gale
ana the great cloud of smoke that
came down over the lower n'ld Of Lake
Huron, caused the disaster by ObScur-
ing all lights. so that nine vessels in
all Went ashore. The life saving crew
took off GG people from the stranded
vessels and not n life was lost. The
property loss will be very heavy.

Fifty casks of a special design and
the strongest possible construction will
soon be sent to Boring Sea by the
United States Revenue Marine service,
and placed upon the highest hum
mocks Of the flow-ice. 1t is hoped by
tracing their future course to test the
direction of the currents that cross
the polar regions. The casks are TWEEN
ty-eight inches long and sixteen inch
es in diameter, so as to be seen easily.
Inside of each are directions printed
in several different languages, asking
the finder to write to the nearest Unit
ed States consul, giving the latitude
and longitude in which the cask was
found, and the date. Admiral Melville,
who designed the casks, believes that
it will be possible in this way to de-
termine whether the ice-packs drift
from the Arctic westward, or south
and east to the Atlantic.

Nasty Hawaiian Politics.

A determined effort is to be made by
the American party in Hawaii TO get
rid of Gov. Dole. 1t leaked ont in CON
nectlon with the case of Judge Abram
s. Humphreys. of the first judicial
district OF Hawaii, against whom
charges have been made Ivy the Bar
Association of the Hawaiian Islands.
According TO the Humphreys support
ers. the Dole government has become
insufferable 1t is charged that his
officials are getting money from vari-
ous kinds of protected vice, and that
every industry that can be arranged
bv supervision TO contribute to the
Dole machine is so arranged and COM
PEELED TO pay. The charges against
Humphreys are the outcome of some
nasty local politics oh both sides. Now
that the charges have been brought
and people from both sides arc on the
ground the campaign against Dole will
be waged fiercely until the president
gets back. In his brief answer TO the
charge against him Judge Humphreys
makes some frightful charges concern
ing a stockade where vicious women
are allowed to go at night the nature
of which cannot even be limited at in
the columns OF a newspaper. He
charges that the income from this re-
sort goes to the officials of the govern
ment of the territory.

A RoIIer-constcr Victim

Clarence d. Miller, aged "a, was
killed on the roller-coaster, near the
approach to the Belle Isle bridge, De-
troit, Monday evening. Miller's death
was tragic, and peculiarly sad in view
of the fact that he was to have been
married this month to Mamie Burns,
a pretty and attractive young lady
whose home is at Mt. Morris, Mich.
He had gone to the roller-coaster a
little after 8 o'clock and was seen to
rise in his seat when the car reached
the top round. He was whirled out
and fell to the inclined plane below
striking in such a position that he lay
across the tracks. An ascending car
struck him there, and he doubled up,
falling between the tracks to the
ground fifteen feet below. The injured
man was taken to a hospital, where
he died early next morning.

their rawhides with telling effect.
People who noticed the set determin-

passed through the streets on their

and the crowd cheered them as they
rained blow after blow upon Growers

A PEERLESS HERO.

Regardless OF politics, the American peo-
Pile are fully satisfied that Admiral Schley
is the hero of the brilliant b title at Sau,i-
ago, and all the malice and unmanly envy
Of the Bureaucratic OF the Navy Department
cannot change the popular verdict Il was
a glorious victory and every man who par
ticlpated in that battle merits the favor and
applause of his countrymen. The notorious
"loop" is like legal technicality that has
no bearing in the case. 1t does not make
any difference what nautical calisthenlc the
Brooklyn practiced before and during the
fight, she lost no time when the Spanish
fleet was discovered, and 1t did not take
long for Schey To destroy it. The "men
behind the guns" of Admiral Schley's Fly
ing Squadron will ever hold bright page
in American history, In spite of the un-
worthy attempts of the cringing sycophants
and willing vassals Of the Secretary of the
Navy.
In his testimony on Monday before the
Naval Board of Inquiry, Captain Cook, who
commanded the Brooklyn in 1893, proposed

mend itself to Sampson and his henchmen
Replying TO one Of Assistant Hanna's more
or less impertinent interrogatories, Captain
Cook, with admirable seltrestraint, re-
marked THAT is all conjecture. What We
