Man Accused of White Lynch
ing Is Released.

Wilmington, Del. June 26.-Arthur
Cornwell Of Hartford City. Ind who
was arrested on a charge of man
slaughter in connection with the lynch
ing OF George White last Monday night,
was given a hearing before Magistrate
Hollis today.
Chief Black and Warden Meserve
testified that they recognized Cornwell
as one of those who We're at the work
house when the doors were broken and
White taken out. Meserve testified that
Cornwell said:

Der of members of the Fraternal Order
of Eagles. which is holding a carnival

the carnival during Monday evening
and stayed there until it closed at mid
night when they returned with him to
Wilmington. This precluded the posi-
bility of his reaching the workhouse
during the proceedings there, although
it is not denied that he went out with
others and saw part of the lynching.
Attorney General Ward asked that
CornweH be held in bail for trial, but
Magistrate Hollis decided that there
was no evidence to warrant such action
and dismissed the defendant. Corn we'll

DEWEYS IN DANGER.
Captain Cunningham Thinks
Militia Had Good Effect.

Captain Cunningham of Company G.,
K. n. G.. Of Mcpherson, was at the
office of Adjutant General H. S. Kelsey
this morning making his report of the
conduct of his company while engaged
in guarding the Deweys at st. Francis
during the preliminary hearing of the
murder charge resulting from the
shootingn affray between them and the
Berry family. Captain Cunningham
said:
I'VE had no trouble with the people
of the town or from the ranches in the
vicinity but the feeling against the pris-
oners ran very high and. in my opin-
ion it was a very good thing that the
militia were on hand to preserve order.
Although there was no demonstration 1
was informed of numerous secret
meetings in which threats against the
Deweys were freely uttered and there
was strong under current of bitter
feeling against them. The people of
that country are ready and quick to
act and it is altogether probable that
the Deweys would have met violent
treatment by a mob if they had bad
only the protection of the Cheyenne
county Jail. but we had them 'bnffed'
bv mum bers. The prisoners are far safer
here than they would have been if left
where they were.

KINGS BIRTHDAY.
Edward VII Appears at the Gel
ebration on Horseback.

London. June 26.-King Edwards s
birthday was officially celebrated today
in London at the home naval and mill
tary stations All the government
buildings were decorated with flags,
salutes were fired, the warships at all
the ports dressed ship and the troops
were reviewed. The main feature was
the trooping of the colors on the horse
guards parade here, which the king at
tended on horseback. This was the first
time he had ridden since his last illness.
The parade ground presented highly
picturesque scene. Queen Alexandra,
Albany, the Duke and Duchess of Fife,
the Duchess of Connaught, the Princess
Henry of Rattenburg and their children
and the khedive of Egypt occupied seats
in the central windows of the horse
guard building while all the other
vantage points were occupied by smart
" dressed women. cabinet ministers,
members of the house of lords and
house of commons and others Many
Americans were present including the
staff of the United States embassy and
the American rifle team, who were un-
der the guidance OF Major General Lord
Charles Lismore.
The king in the uniform Of colonel
of the Crenadier guards, rode on the
ground surrounded by a brilliant staff
foreign military attaches. As the king
halted at the saluting base the massed
bands played the national anthem. After
an inspection of the troops the ceremony
of troCping the coloTs was carried out

READY FOR BIG RACE.
Oarsmen in Good Form for
POughkeepsie Struggle.

Poughkeepsie, n. z, June 26.-When
the thirteen college oarsmen looked out
of their windows this morning they
We're surprised to find their race day
opening with clear skies and to see the
sun for the first time in 20 days
The wind was hardly more than a
zephyr. While the conditions are fav-
orable there is no assurance they will
continue so for the wind is in a natural
bad quarter. the majority Of storms
along the Hudson valley being heralded
by south winds.
Never in the history of Poughkeepsie
has there been such a light attendance
of college Sympathizers and followers
as appeared in the hotels and on the
streets this morning. This may be due
to the fact that the races are held late
in the afternoon and there is plenty of
time for the people in the cities up and
down the river to get here by special
trains before the first race is rowed
The nOtilla of yachts and pleasure
boats of all kinds began to arrive this
morning, some Of them coming from
New London, where the owners had
witnessed the Yale Harvard races yes
terdav Among them was Governor
Flower" the state quarantine boat,
carrying Governor oden and party The
governor wore the eolors of Columbia,
his alma mater.
Cornell is still the favorite. Coach
O'Dea of Wisconsin. said today:
7 have been trying to irlSrill in my
men the idea that they win a race on
their merits ana not merely on a chance
accident to the Cornell crews, but the
public press and the people surrounding
the men are continually pounding into
them that they have not any chance.
and I am afraid that this affects the
mems minds and lessons the chances Of
winning. But a race is Won by the men
a the oars. and not by the people max
ing the bets in the hotel lobbies."
Hanlon of Columbia is, next to Court
ney of Cornell, the most confident of ali
the coaches here this morning He SAYS
that his men, especially in the varsity
crew have a good chance to win ana
that it is anybOdy's race. The Syracuse
coach is confident that his youngsters
in the freshman race will give the
other crews d good fight and stand a
chance to land first Cornell puts the
heaviest crews on the river this after
noon and Syracuse the lightest. The
fact that Cornell has the heaviest crews
shows decided change of sentiment
on the part of Coach Courtney as to the
weight of the men behind the oars
Some years ago when Yale and Harvard
were rowing with Cornell, Courtney
contended that a light crew was better
than a heavy one. and in fact he Won
two races from very heavy Yale crews.
The programme for the day is as fol-
lows
p. m.-Four- -oared race.
4:45 p. m.-E'reshmen-
6 D. m.-Earsity race.

GOLD MINING sWINDLE.
One Has Been Discovered by the Au-
thorities at Washington.

New York, June 26-An investigation
has been ordered by the authorities AT
Washington Of an alleged gold mining
concern with Offices in this city. For
three months past, it is said, the con-
cern has been advertising freely in an
the foreign newspapers. One of the ad-
vertisements, translated from a Greek
paper published here, reads:
Have you five dollars? Do you wish
to make them ten within a month. one
hundred within a year, and one thou
sand within a short time2'
The board of managers named in the
advertisement is composed of men as
serted to be filling high public positions,
such as senator Of the state of Ohio >
comptroller of the United States treas
ury treasurer of the United States, =
etc There also appears the name of a
member asserted to have been former
" secretary of the treasury None
of the names given, however, are
known at all in public life in this coun-
try It is alleged that the company has
disposed of considerable stock to for
eigners and the affair will be thorough
" investigated by agents OF the treas
ury department.
The man whose name appears as pres
ident OF the mining company declares
that the advertisements are 'tbrimful OF
typogra phical errors" and that the per-
son named as Comptroller of the.
treasury is in reality a New York GUS

BANDS TO MEET HIM.
A Row at Oyster Bay Over the
Presidents Homecoming.

Oyster Bay. L. T., June 26.-An IN
seemly clash has been feared between
rival committees of citizens on the oc-
casion of the reception to President
Roosevelt on Saturday. but it IS now
hoped everything will be smoothed over
and the celebration attending the presi-
dents homecoming will not be marred
by the discussions of rival parties.
The original intention was to have a
joint celebration of the presidents re
turn and the 250th anniversary of the
settlement OF the village. This was
abandoned because President Roosevelt
found it would be impossible to return
on June %. the date set Not satisfied
with the abandonment of the double
celebration. big posters have been put
out by the committee. calling on the
to attend the 250th anniversary
Saturday morning. Both committees
will have a brass band a the station to
meet the president. It is hoped one viii
be prevailed upon not to play. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is a member of the
board of trade and it is generally
thought proper that the board should
have charge of the reception.

IN A CASKET
Presented to Mr.. Chamberlain
by constitutional Club.

London, June 26.-The Constitutional
club today entertained Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain at luncheon and pre-
sented him with an address enclosed in
a casket in recognition Of his services
to the nation. Premier Balfour made
the presentation speech. Referring to
Mr.. Chamberlain's fiscal proposals he
said it would be absolute folly for the
CONSERVATIVES Unionist party to make
opinions on economic questions a test
of party loyalty. The present economic
position of the country demanded the
most careful consideration. The country
was now in the possession of an aerCn-
aut, who kept his balloon in the air by
throwing out sand bags. That was 4
very proper course so long as he pos
sessed a sufficiency of sand bags, but
when these were exhausted it was time
to reconsider the position 1t must not
be supposed that because self-goverr-
ment had been given to the colonies that
they could be regarded as separate pO-
litical entities. on the contrary they
were integral portions of the British en-
pire. The question at issue was not
new, but Mr.. Chamberlain, more than
any man, dead or living had given life
to the expression of the idea of imperial
unity.

hosts sang For He's a Jolly Good Eel

Some of the members of the house

that they will be lost before they haws
gone through the necessary channels II

At every regular session number Of
bills are always introduced which are
found to be faulty and never become
laws At this extra session several bills
were introduced and passed for the pur-
pose of correcting mistakes of the fask
session. The SO bills introduced in the
house and the 27 in the senate wer4
handled in a rush. Some were killed ia
the committees, and the only attention
given any bills on the floor Of each
house was when fight was made on
them
Bills that had no opposition were sent
through by fast freight. Some received
only a majority vote with no votes to
spare Some bills introduced were hur-
riedly prepared. They were scribbled
on sheets of waste paper with pencils.
On some bills errors that would have
invalidated them were found and cor
rected. How many errors have been

POSTOFFICE AFFAIRS.
Occupy Most of the Time of
This Last Meeting
Before the Departure of ROose-
welt for Oyster Bay.

Washington. June 26-The last meet
ing of the cabinet before the presidents
departure from Washington tomorrow
was held today. Shortly after the mem
bers had assembled, former Postmaster
General Smith, who took breakfast with
the president, was ushered into the cabi-
net room.
Upon leaving the White House Mr..
Smith, when asked if he had anything
to say concerning the postofIice inquiry
replied that his statement in response to
the references to himself in the Bristov
report would be given to the public to-
morrow.
The cabinet meeting was devoted
chiefly to the closing up of routine de-
partmental matters in anticipation nf
the presidents departure, although
Postmaster General Payne occupied con-
siderable time in presenting the current
situation as developed by the investiga-
tion now in progress in postoface mat
ters but in discussing his future plans
relative to the invesdga ton.
In this connection it can be stated
authOritatively that the reports that
Postmaster General Payne conteu-
plates retiring from the cabinet are IN
true. 1t is well known that his health
IS not good, and theSe IS OF course q
possibility that ne might suffer a COM
plete breakdown or that he might be
forced by the imperative order of his
physician to give up his work. But at
this time the idea of retirement is not
entertained by him. He has planned
out his future work in connection with
the investigation CT his department anG
is anxious TO finish it. The president.
it is said, has given expression to his
own feelings in the matter by saying
