PORTLAND, Me-. April 20-While
playing near his home at Orr's Island,
Casco bay, this afternoon, Milton
Webber, a four-year-old child, was at
tackled by a vicious ram, and after
twice being knocked down and tram
pied on, was butted over an 1S-foot
cliff on to a Jagged reef covered with
water. He was being gradually car
ried out into deeper water, when he
was rescued in most thrilling man
ner by Albert Storer. clam-digger,
who plunged into the surf.
When the boy fell to the reef he
was unconscious and was an easy prey
to the ebb of the waves which broke
over him and which were dragging
him out as though he were log of
wood. Storer was exhausted when he
got the child to safety. The boy is
critically i'll, but will probably recover.

FISHING DECISION.
Anglers May Not Trespass Upon Pri.
vate Land

Denver.-The State Supreme Court
declines to reverse itself in the famous
fish case, decided last July. There
fore, the law is that person in the
pursuit of fish may not trespass upon
the land of anyone who objects, no mat
ter if the fish in the stream coursing
thrC>gh the land have been supplied
by the state.
Tne case came up from Gunnison
county and is entitled A Hartman. ap-
pellant VS.. George Tresise. appellee.
The defendant went upon the land of
plaintiff in error and broke down
fence while fishing. A suit for tres
pass was brought in the Gunnison Dis
trict Court and the judge dismissed it
on the grounds that citizen has the
right to fish on private land where
the streams are stocked at public eX-
pense.
An appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court and Justice Campbell
wrote an opinion reversing the trial
court. He held that the Legislature
cannot make lawful a trespass by any
sort of enactment He was sustained
in this opinion by the entire court eX-
cepting Justice Steele.
The decision caused considerable stir
among the fishermen because property
holders along streams began to nut up
signs and take toll for fishing, and a
strong effort was brought to have the
court review the case again. 1t was
finally reopened. Justice Gunter wrote
the opinion Monday, very briefly. how
ever, and attached Justice Campbell's
opinion to it. Justice Bailey dissented
and Justice Steele concurred with him.
Justice Gunter says that the case
really involves the question of riparian
rights and other matters that are now
before the United States Supreme
Court in the Kansas-Colorado water
suit. and therefore the State Supreme
Court would not discuss them. The
question involved that he dtN talk OF
he said, was whether "a fisherman has
a right to fish where the game laws
say he shall not
Justice Bailey wrote a lengthy
opinion for yesterdays decision and
concludes it with this statement: MY
excuse for filing dissenting opinion
is because of grave danger to the aSrl-
cultural interests of the state by an
nouncement of the doctrine that the
state has not full and absolute control
OF the unappropriated waters OF the
state, and the fear | have that such a
ruling will plunge the people into In
terminable litigation

ASSAlLS THE TARIFF.
Rucker Of Missouri Declares for
Bryan and Low Tariff

Washington.-ln the House Tuesday
Mr.. Rucker of Missouri brought forth
arguments designed to sustain the
Democratic idea of tariff for revenue
only and he closed with the prediction
teat these ideas would prevail with w.
J. Bryan as the standard bearer in the
next campaign.
Comparing the increase in the pro-
ducts of the farm and the factory and
the value of productive and industrial
property under high and low tariffs,
Mr.. Rucker drew the conclusion that
the lower the tariff the greater had
been the increase of wealth; that since
1850 the tariff had been made higher
and the increase of production had
been less.
Turning his attention to the tariff on
Mergenthaler typesetting machines,
Mr. Rucker said it had been determ-
ined that these machines could be pro-
duced for $500 and yet they We're sold
for 5000 because of the tariff. There
were 10000 publications in this coun-
try affected by this price. Thousands
of petitions from editors had been sent
to the present Congress urging the re
moval of this prohibitory and monopo-
listic duty"

Orchard Marked for Death.

Portland, Ore - The Oregonian
prints A special from its correspondent
at Boise. Idaho, which states in sub
stance that the inner circle" of the
Western Federation of Miners did not
contue itself to the murder of non
union miners and state officials. but
that the tools who committed these
crimes were themselves victims of the
inner circle" Orchard was one of
the tools marked for destruction, and
the confession of Steve Adams is said
to show that Orchard had been shad-
owed for long time. 1t is not believed
that Orchard knew that he was under
suspici IN, but there is every reason
to believe that he stood in fea" of
death at the hands of those by whom
he was employed.

MISSISSIPPI TORNADO.
Terrible Loss of Life and Property al
Meridian.

Meridian, Miss Only nineteen
bodies have been recovered from the
ruins caused by the tornado which
swept over section of this city
shortly after o'clock Friday evening
Scores more are missing. 1t is known
that fifty are dead. Twenty-four per
sons were injured, and property With
an estimated value of $1,O00,000 was
destroyed. Twelve blocks in the very
center of the business section were
swept away, and not one house of any
consequence along Front street was
left standing.
A mass meeting of the citizens was
called to-day, and $1,000 was imme
diately subscribed to aid the destitute
and injured. The Mississippi legisla
ture, in session at Jackson, appropri
ated $4,000 to the relief fund.
Governor Vardaman at noon secured
special train, and, loading it with
convicts from the Rankin county farm,
dispatched it at once to Meridian. The
city now affords the unique spectacle
of state convicts aiding in the rescue
work. Business is practically sus.
pended, and every citizen is giving his
best effort toward alleviating the suf.

The tornado appeared in the south
west at 6:27 o'clock last evening. A
low, funnel-shaped cloud was seen to
form near the city. \ heavy rain had
been falling when suddenly the humid
ity became intense. With a roar that
could be heard great distance, the
storm descended on the city.
The greatest loss of life is reported
from the east in what is known as the
cotton mill settlement. The large cot.
ton mill there was partially wrecked
and propably 400 small houses were de.
molished or badly damaged. The tornado
swept Front street and wrought great
damage there. The electric light
plant was partially wrecked and the
city was thrown into total darkness.
Lanterns, candles and even coal oil
lamps were used by the people in seek
ing places of safety. The tornado also
did severe damage on Twenty second
avenue between Front and Railroad
streets. Several houses on this ave
nue. were wrecked. The work of the
storm lasted for only brief period,
many people declaring that the entire
destruction was wrought within the
SDace of five minutes

PoSToFFICE FOR DENVER.
Senate Committee Recommends Large
Appropriation.

WaShington-In his report upon the
DILL to appropriate 81 300, 900 for new
federal building at Denver. Senator
Warren presented the following facts:
The present public building in Den
yer was authorized under an act of
May S. 1882 The building was not
completed until 1893, and before it was
occupied it was found that the city
had grown 20 such an extent that the
building was not nearly large enough
to accommodate the federal business.
The inadequacy of the present build
ing at the time it was first occupied
was due to the rapid growth of the city
and surrounding country after au
thority for construction of the build
ing was given and before it could be
used
1t is estimated that when the orig
inal bill was passed, in 1882, Denver
had population of less than 10000.
BY 1890 the number had increased to
106, 900 and to over 1873 900 in 1900. and
there had been corresponding growth
in the population of the state of Colo
RADIO and the entire Rocky mountain
region contiguous to that city. The re-
suit was an expansion of business far
in excess of the calculations of the
h'Slt tsAl'l . VI Ah' VI 81 bulthlllS anu
failure of the structure from the be-
ginning to meet the demands upon it.
The growth of the city and contiguous
country has continued since the occu-
pancy of the present building in 1893
until now ii is conservatiyely calcu-
lated that the city has population of
175O 900
The consequence is that there is a
| crowding together in public offices of
officials, employees and papers that
should not be permitted. with conse-
| quent congestion OF business that is
appalling.
Outside the federal building. To-
Gated in different portions of the city,
more or less remote, are Offices of the
| United States district attorney, sur
veyor generals Office, United States
| land offices, War Department head
| quarters. department of Colorado. the
| United States geological survey, recla-
nation service, forestry division and
! pension offices"
The report quotes the recommends
| ton of the secretary of the treasury
| for a new building. who states:
| 1T is estimated that four-story
and basement building of $4,000
square feet ground area will be sufii-
cient. and that fireproof building of
the dimensions indicated will cost ST.
100000. 1t is estimated that suitable
site can be secured for from 100000
to $SOO,O additional.
Comparison of Denver's postottice
facilities with those of other western
cities vii be most interesting in this
| connection.
Dallas. with a population of 40 63S
has a postoliice building occupying a
full block front and from twice &c
three times as large as the present
postoflice building in Denver.
Kansas City has a postotiice build
ing four or five times as large as
| Denvers.
The Omaha and Salt Lake post
Office buildings are two or three times
as large as the Denver postoflic'

MAIDEN MURDERER.
Girl Tries to Assassinate Governor OF
MOSCOW.

Moscow not by the fate
of the girl assassin who was tortured
to death by Cossacks, a beautiful girl
with mass of hair coiled high on her
head on Monday attempted to assas.
sinate Vice Admiral Doubasoff, gov
ernor general of Moscow, and a mem.
Der of the council of the empire.
The girls beauty, by which she eX-
pected to t.ke her ,ictim Lnawares,
was so striking that it overreached her
object. The Cossacll on guard imme-
diately engaged her in conversation.
When the Cossack remarked in com
plimentary manner as to her mXuriant
hair. the girl turned pale and then in
continently fled.
She was pursued, and from her
pretty black hair was taken the dead
liest kind of little bomb. The girls
guilty conscience led her to believe
herself discovered when the Cossack
referred to her tresses. The bomb was
cleverly hidden in such a manner that
the girl had only to gain an audience
with Doubasoff, and then putting her
hand in her hair in a most natural
manner fling the deadly weapon at the
governor general.
When she was overtaken she at
tempted to take her own life, but the
poinard was wrenched from her hands.
She was taken before the vice admiral,
who asked her kindly why she desired
to kill him, but she looked at him with
the wide open innocent eyes OF babe,
ana would make no reply. The vice ad-
miral remanded her to prison, but
gave orders she should be consider
ately treated. 1t is hoped to establish
bands.
The girl, like the one who met her
death after trying to kill Vice Admiral
Onoullin February 9th, is under eight
cen, and is gloriously beautiful
