APPARENTLY there is nothing that
T'illman won't say to keep his neck
out of the moose. In his defense he
brings in the plea of self defense
claiming that he supposed Gorzsles
was about to FIRE on him When it Is
that Gonzales had re-
peatedly avoided him and was known
TO be unarmed, il only makes Tillman's
deed blacker, and he should be pun
ished accordingly. That through some
pull be may be judicially exhonerated
is possible, but ever in the minds OF the
people he will be stamped coward.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has again
demonstrated his stalwart manhood,
for which he is so much admired by
the people of this country, in turning
down the Addicks machine in Dele

United States District Attorney in
that state. Whether this move for
pure official integrity will be appre-

RuSSIA-JApAN WAR.

That war Is lmminent, or may at
this moment be in progress, between
Japan and Russia will create the most
intense feeling among the world pow
ers. The situation certainly has been
ably planned by the Russians and the
bear is in no frame of mind to take
his power from off Manchurie, with
ultimate designs on gaining absolute
control Of China.
That such conflict should involve
the entire world would seem hardly
possible, but nevertheless tits probable
that Intervention from the other pow
ers will sooner or later bring to pass a
general war.
Japan certainly has the sympathy of
the United States and Great Britian
while the Romance nations will un-
doubtedly side with Russian hoping
for division of the spoiIs and also to
oppose, primarily, Japan's allies. Ja-
pan also has the justice OF the situa-
ton. She certainly has the right to
protect her industries and possessions
in Manchuria from Russian seizure
and will duso should Russia make any
attempt to. wrest them from her.
If war is declared there is no con.
lecture far-reaching enough to take Ia
what the situation will finally be, and
because of this, diplomats and states-
men are very conservative and reti-
cent in their opinions Of the probable
outcome.

HELD HIM A PRISONER
Sheriff Lamb Turns the Ia
bIeS on His Brother

Charlie Lamb, younger brother of
Sheriff Lamb, came in this afternoon
from San Ardo. California Since he
saw Graham last, some four or five
years ago, he has changed consider
ably in appearance and expected to
have a little fun with his big brother,
taking advantage of his altered ap-
pearanec. He came in this afternoon
with Constable McVey on No. 3,
and meeting Deputy Sheriff Charlie
Muller at the train, walked with him
to the court house. On the way he
explained that he did not think
Graham would recognize him.
Arriving at the sheriff's Office, Mr..
Muller said, Here, Lamb, is a man
Nc Vey turned over to me; he's to be
locked up" At first glance the sheriff
did not recognize his brother, and he
laid his hooks on the young mans
arm and started with him for the
cells. Charlie had his hat well pulled
down over his eyes, but taking Sec
end and more scrutinizing glance at
his prisoner" the sheriff discovered
who 1t was. Without a word or sign
of recognition, he opened the door
pushed Charlie through, slammed the
crate to and locked it. then walked
on without a word. The whole after
noon he has been setting out in front
of the court house enjoying the sit
ua ton, while his brother languishes
in durance vile. 81 think he'll be
willing to introduce himself to me
along toward night" he said. but if
he don't I'll throw him a blanket after
dark, and let him bunk with the In
dians." II Charlie don't find way to
get even with the sheriff, he is diff
ferent from his brother-but that re-

WILKESBARRE. Pa, June 22.-
When the conciliation board meets
here on Thursday the operators will
have grievances to be adjusted as well
as the miners. This will be a surprise
to many of the miners, who believed
that the coal companies had nothing
to complain OF. The operators will
take exceptions to the many petty
strikes; also, that the non-union men
are being interferred with.
The miners will Offset this with q
charge of discrimination, asserting
that some of the men active in the
strike have not been given work; that
the award of the commission has been
violated by change in the condition
OF mining at many places. which does
not permit the miners to make as
much now as before the strike, and
that operators have broken other Gus
toms in the Schuykill region by hav-
ing the men work an hour longer Cd

Pope OffiCiated at Function

ROME, June 22.-The Consistory
was specially important owing to the
persistent rumors regarding the Popes
i'll health and the previous postpone
plents. Naturally a ceremony In which
the Pope, half hidden by vestments.
is borne on a chair and is continually
assisted, is not the best opportunity
to judge of his appearance or the
state of his health, but a man capable
OF undergoing the strain of such a
function has plenty of vitality. The
Pontiff's features seemed slightly
more clear cut and his hand trembled
perceptibly, but his voice is plainly
heard, though it has lost something
its power
The ceremony was shortened as
much as possible and only lasted about
thirty-fve minutes.
