ness of the Fleisher Brothers Of

laws and does not know whether it
is in Virginia, or West Va, or both,

extended by the Fleisher boys was
appreciated to the fullest extent.
and by the entire party a vote OF
thanks is rendered them.

NO FRICTION so FAR

Seems Like a Veritable
Love Feast.

London. June 24.-The debate on the
Irish land bill in the house tonight
was a decided love feast The evening
was spent in the submission of amend
ments by the nationalist members,
which were successfully debated in an
amicable spirit and then Withdrawn
without division. After the dinner re-
cess William O'Brien presented an
amendment putting the evicted tenants
upon an equality with the existing ten
ants. He declared that the clause, as
it stood, looked like a deliberate policy

ment would be a message to Ireland.
Mr.. Wyndham promised to deal with
the evicted tenants under clause As and
said he would double the amount of the
advance that the evicted tenants could
get
Mr.. Redmond said the advance to
the evicted tenants was satisfactory,
but the rejection of his amendment
would leave a sore spot and initiate
against the working of the bill Clause

ants, was then passed. II the discus

FLOOD SUFFERERS
TO BE RELIEVED

Topeka, Kan, June 24.-The Kansas
legislature convened in extra session to-
day to relieve the flood situation in
the Kaw valley and its tributaries.
Most of the members of both houses
are present Thirty-fOur flood bills were
introduced in the house and nearly as
many in the senate.
The session will last for several days.
A big fight has developed on the queS-
ton of making an appropriation to re-
lieve the food sufferers, as we'll as to
authorize the building of bridges. 1t
was expected that Governor Bailey, in
his message, would outline some plan
of relief. but he did not, leaving that
for the legislature to handle.
The governor says he did not care to
dictate in the matter. He regards the
WyandOtte county situation as most
serious, and admits that he was prompt
ed by that situation to call the legis-
latUre together. He says that. while
he is opposed to an appropriation for
the relief of flood sufferers, he did not
make protest against it in his MESA &c
because he believed that the legisla-
tUre should determine the question
without prejudice on account of any
view the chief executive might have.
The governor, however, does not deny
that he has urged his close friends in
both houses to stand pat against an
appropriation.
Congressman Curtis suggested to his
friends this morning the passage of
four bills, as follows:
To enable counties 10 build bridges.
To authorize cities to issue bonds to
repair streets.
To authorize county commissioners to
compromise taxes.
To appropriate 100000 to be dis
tributed among the flood sufferers bv
county commissioners.
Mr.. Curtis said that congress doubt
less would be asked to grant aid. In
his opinion congress viii never vote a
dollar unless the legislature first makes
an appropriation to relieve the situa-
ton
Bills were introduced providing for
an appropriation to be Distributed in
each county, but a long debate must
ensue before any action is taken.

night. He viii be given a further
hearing tomorrow
Tonight 1000 persons gathered in
front of the city hail, where CorWell
was confined, and made a demOnstra-
ton. The police authorities took every
precautiOn to prevent an attempt at
reSCuing the prisoner by the crowd
Extra police were on duty within the
police station, and all the police Of
hcials were on hand The crowd COM
mitted no overt act. however, beyond
making a great noise There were
loud cries for the release of COrweH
The cOrOner's inquest was concluded
tonight and when word reached the
police station that the verdict did not
1mpllcate COrWell the authorities de-
Cided to release him on s., 600 bail. This
was promptly furnished by Thomas
McHugh of this city, a wholesale
liquor dealer. Word of this action soon
reached the crowd and a great cheer
was sent up, after which the people
quickly dispersed.
Verdict Of the Jury.
When the inquest began the remains
Of White could not be found, and after
a long search they were found wrapped
IN paper in an ice chest. White
weighed about 200 pounds. but only five
pounds of flesh and bones were left Of
him after the lynchers had concluded
their work. The jury brought in the
following verdict:
That George White came to his
death between the hours of 10 D. m.
of June p. 1903, and 4 a. m. of June o.
1903, by being burned in a field adj
Joining the road leading from EIlCe's
Corner to the Ferris Industrial school,
by a party or parties unknown to this
jury"
The cOrOner's inquest having failed
10 reveal the identity of the leaders in
the lynching. it is thought that the
authorities will be unable to proceed.
II was declared that a state detective
mad the names of the leaders, but this
is evidently not true. because two
days have elapsed since he burning
took place. and no further arrests have
been made.
The belief is growing here that no
one viii ever be punished for the work
o. the mob. Prominent citizens, al
though they deplOre the lynching
stand ready to raise a fund for the
defense Of anyone who shall be prose-
cuted for the Ofense.
Peter Smith. the Italian boy who was
shot while The mob was in the work

injuries.

Mr.. briggs refused absolutely TO
comment on his indictment. He had
previously admitted, however, receiv-
ing a salary of S125OO from the Brandt
Dent company for introducing its ma
chimes. but declared that the work he
did for the company was done before
he was sworn in as congressman, but
after his election. and declaring that
he had done nothing to which the gov
