The native papers are up in arms
against the six senators whose votes
sustained the governors veto of the
leprosy bill. The bill had a narrow es-
cape, as the House overrode the veto
by a big majority and there were nine
votes to override in the Senate. Presi-
dent Isenberg cast the deciding vote
against the bill, making the six neees-
sary to sustain the veto.
The last issue of the Aloha Alma con-
tains the names of the six between
black borders, indicating that they are
dead politically. The six are Isenberg

PRESSED TO DEATH.
Fearful Punishment That Obtained
Under Old English Law.

Fearful Punishment That Obtained
Under Old English Law.
Under the old English Jaw if a pris
Oner stood mute and failed to plead to
the indictment a jury was impaneled
to determine whether his conduct came
from obstinacy or from a natural i'm
pediment. According to Blackstone, II
the prisoner was found to be obsti-
nately mute and the Indictment was
for high treason it was settled that
his silence was equivalent to a convic-
ton and that judgment and execution
should follow. This same rule applied
to petit larceny and misdemeanors, but
upon appeal or indictments for other
felonies or petit treason, according to
the ancient law, the prisoner was not
deemed convicted; but, because Of his
obstinacy, he received 1.-The terrible
sentence of penance or peine" and was
pressed to death.
Blackstone thus describes this pun
1shment: THAT the prisoner be re-
manded to the prison from whence he
came and put in low. dark chamber
and there be laid on his back ON the
bare floor, naked unless decency for
bids: that there be placed upon his
body as great weight of iron as he
could bear and more; that he should
have no s.Istenance. save only on the
first day three morsels Of the worst
bread, and on the second day three
drafts OF standing water that should
be nearest the prison door, and in this
situation this should be alternately
his daily diet till he died or las an
ciently the judgment RAM till he an
Bwered."
During the trials for witchcraft in
New England respectable citizen be-
Ing so accused, knowing that by rea-
son Of the excitement Of the times
plea of not guilty and trial would re-
suit In a conviction with confiscation
OF property. and the same Judgment
would follow a plea Of guilty. refused
to plead, thereby preventing a convic
ton and enabling his family to retain
bis property. The court ordered that
he be pressed because Of his obstinacy.
The order was carried out and the
victim died.--ChicagO News.

Washington, Dec. 6--Stafeh ood
legislation Is to have the right OF way
In the house and will be the first Of the
more important bills to be considered
In the senate. An agreement already
has been reached by the republican
leaders of the senate and house on all
matters relating to the admission OF
the four territories except the time
when the senate committee shall sub
NIT Its report.
II has been definitely decided be
tween Speaker Cannon and the SEN
ate leaders that two states shall be
made of the four territories and that
an omnibus bill will be reported for
consideration. Whether the senate
committee on territories shall submit
a bill OF Its own almost Identical In
terms with the house bill or wait until
the house passes the bill over to the
senate has not been determined.
The question probably will be set
tied Thursday of this week. Senator
Beveridge, chairman Of the senate
committee on territories, In . confer
ence with Bird S. Mcclure. the Okla.
homa delegate. informed him that II
Oklahoma should send delegation to
Washington to oppose the proposition
uniting the fortunes Of New Mexico
and Arizona with those Of Oklahoma
and Indian territories, II could not
possibly alter the situation with regard
to an omnibus measure. that Is. u
bill admitting all the territories to
statehood In the same measure. The
only effect such a lobby could have
Senator Beveridge declared. was to
defeat any statehood legislation,
Senator Beverage Is supremely con-
fident that two states will be made Of
the four territories at this session Of
congress. In discussing the outlook
he called attention to the fact that al
the last session the bill was defeated BY
only one vote. Had Senator Knox. who
was sick at the time, been in his seat
and Senator Aldrich, who was abroad
been present. the bill would have
passed.
The two-state bill will have ad
ditional senate strength this session
II will have what It did not have be
fore-the recommendation of the pres
ident, who will urge 1t In his message.
Senator Beverage Is no less deter
mined than Speaker Cannon that TIVE
states shall be made Of the four ter
ritories in one bill, thus disposing o
the troublesome statehood question TO

CLAIM WAS PENDING so YEARS
Allowed the Day the Claimant Died
ut Hood River.

The Hood River Glacier says that
after waiting so years for the govern
ment to pay him for the use of his
farm as fort during the Indian out
break at White Salmon in 1855. the
announcement was made on the day
of his death that f. S. Joslyn's claim
of $500 is to be allowed at the pres
ent session of congress.
The announcement comes through
press dispatches, dated Colorado City,
December 30. Mr., Joslyn's claim
against the government for $500 was
for deprivation of the use of the
claimants farm on the Columbia river
In 1855, 1856 and 1857, During the
years of the mentioned time the clam
ants land was used as a military sta
tion by the United States troops en-
gagged in suppressing an Indian out
break.
In the half century that has inter-
vened Joslyn has been engaged in
pushing his claim. On the day that
the letter came announcing that il
would be paid Joslyn died and the
claim will be paid to the widow
What was Joslyns farm is now the
property of Judge A. r. Byrkett at
Bingen landing. Some logs of the fort
constructed on this farm by the gov
ernment in 1865, to day form an out
house on Judge Byrkett's farm. This
building is an interesting old relic
Port holes are plainly visible in the
logs. and within recent years poisoned
Indian arrowheads were cut from the
sides of the fort and carried away as
| souvenirs.
