THE ISSUE MADE UP.

When the Philippine talih bill was under consider

before the final upon it, Senator Teller of Colo.

by amendment which he introduced which drew the
line sharply between imperialism and antimperalism,

was disposed OF by the senate. What In
known as the omnibus claims bill and the
measure providing for the irrigation OF pub
lie lands were passed, the conference report on
the Philippine tariff bin was agreed to, and the
shipping bill was made the unfinished busi-

The bill for the protection OF the president
OF the United States was then laid before the
senate. Mr.. Hoar, chairman OF the Judiciary
committee, said 1t seemed to the committee
that, for many obvious reasons, any attempt
TO kill the president ought to be taken cogni-
zanee OF by the Federal courts rather than bv
the State courts. Relative to section OF the
BILL directing that the secretary of war should
provide military guard for the protection Of
the president, he thought all careful observers
must agree that the detective police, upon
which dependence now was had, had not ac-
eomplished its purpose upon at least three i'm
portant occasions. The purpose OF the pro.
vision was TO make some officers OF the gov

LyNcHER ACQUITTED.



The most remarkable criminal trial
in the history of California was ended
Thursday at Alturas, when the jury in
the case OF James w. Brown brought
In q verdict of acqnittal. Shortly
after ] o'clock on the morning of May
3ist last, four men and a boy were
lynched from the two bridges which
span the Pitt river at Lookout In
'Modoc county. The men hanged by
the lynchers were Calvin Hall. an old
man "a years of age; his half-breed
sons, Jim and Frank Hall; Dan Yam
us, white man, and Martin Wilson. a
thirteen-year-old Indian boy. The
victims OF the mob were held as
prisoners at Myers's hotel in Lookout,
pending their preliminary hearing for
petit larceny. The county officials
showed no disposition whatever to
trace the authors of the outrage. State
officers took up the matter, and after
long time the grand jury indicted
Brown and two others.
The trial of Brown has proceeded al
most uninterruptedly since December
llth. 1t was notable for the frequent
clashes between Judge Harrington
and the counsel for the defense. Each
