CRITICIsEs BoNAPARTE.
Lawyer osborne's Opinion Of the At
torpey Generals Speech.

NEW YORK. September 19.-Former AS
sistant District Attorney James W. Os-
borne, a criminal lawyer. said yesterday
afternoon regarding the Attorney General S
views as given II dispatches from Chicago:
Mr.. Bonaparte Is talking through his hat
when he insists on executing old offenders
and making our criminal laws as harsh and
brutal as possible. The present-day difficulty
in enforcing our laws is that they are too
severe 1t Is not the severity of law but
its certainty of enforcement that constitutes
the safeguard to society.
THE severity Cf q law is in inverse pro-
portion to its enforcement. The more brutal
and harsh law the more difficult 1t Is to
get American jures and judges to convict
criminals. The spirit of humanity is grow
ing, and juries nowadays CULVER when they
think Of sentencing a man to the death
chair Prosecuting attorneys always up
against the fact hat juries hesitate to do
their duties when the punishment Is In
human.
I'VE should teach our citizens that the
law infiicts punishment with tenderness and
regret. You are doing just the opposite
when you turn out speeches like the Attor-
ney General
LESS than a hundred years ago there
were more than $50 capital Offenses. Con-
seQuently there was no enforcement. Crime
was rampant They had to modify the GRIM
! inal CODE and now students of criminology
agree this smallest certainty is far better
than the greatest severity.

DAM DISPUTE SETTLED.
End of Famous Contest in a Wisconsin
Lumber District.


WINTER, Wis, September 1o-rbe
Famous Dietz dam dispute, 1t was an
nounced today, has been settled 1t Is
stated that the contending parties have
made an agreement that the millions of
feet of logs that have long been held up
by the intrepid defendant of Cameron dam
or the Thornapple river, near here, will
be moved at once. The trouble arose over
a dispute as to the title of tract of land
covering the Cameron dam Both the
Chippewa Log and Boom Company and
John Dietz claimed title to the land and
Dietz defended the property. Three sheriffs
failed to capture Dietz who defied the
authorities for a long time.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, September ia spe-
cial to the Dispatch from Rice Lake Wis,
says:
The details of the settlement which John
F. DetZ of Cameron dam made with the
Chippewa Log and Boom Company have
just become known. The settlement was
made between Mr.. DietZ's brother and w.
l.. Moses of Chippewa Falls. The latter
took the contract to move the logs that
have been tied up by DietZ for over two
years down the river to the Chippewa Log
and Boom Companys saw mill at Chip
pewa Falls for a consideration of $4,000.
1t is claimed that of this sum he gave
Dietz $4,000 for permission to drive the
logs through DietZ's dam on the Thorn
apple river. The logging company refused
to deal with or pay Dietz a cent, but when
Moses made them proposition to drive
the logs to the mill for $50 600 they ac
cepted 1t, and then Moses effected a set
tlement with Dietz by paying him $4,000
which ends this long and bitter fight for
possession of these logs.

NEW YORK, September ia team of
oxen drawing a prairie schooner" the
driver of which was a rugged-look!ng Old
man who wore typical western garb, in
Guiding a sombrero, attracted great crowds
on Broadway. The vehicle and the driver

Grants tomb TO I'D street, Meeker was fol-
lowed by interested and curious throng.

Meekers trip ended at last at the Battery.

TWO LOSE THEIR LIVES IN HOLE.
Fatal Accident to Workmen in BaIti-
more-Others Escape.

BALTIMORE, September 19.-Peter Joyce
and Howard Smith. the latter a coIored
man, lost their lives this morning at the
bottom Of a deep hole being dug to make
a sewer connection. Joyce entered the ex-
cavation first and was instantly overcome
Smith, seeing Joyce's plight Immediately
went to his rescue only to be similarly
overcome.
In succession two other workmen risked
their lives in the hope of saving the two
at the bottom Of the hole. Each Of these
was lowered into the excavation by ropes,
and each just succeeded, before losing con-
sciousness, in attaching a rope to one of
the first two who had gone down into the
pit, both of whom however, were dead
when brought to the surface.
Gas accommodating over night, and which
was entirely unsupported, was the cause of
the double tragedy.

The Let's, people of Livona. one of
Russia's Baltic provinces, rose in rebellion
with their kinsmen of Courland in the lat

determined stand against the Russian
troops that were sent against them under
Gen. Prince Orloff, though he resorted to
the most ruthless methods of repression.
Meanwhile the rebels devastated the es-

German nobility in the rebellous provinces

an immense amount of irreparable damage,

ANXIETY AT VATICAN
PAPAL OFFICIALS FEAR TOMOR-
ROWS ANNIVERSARY.

ROME, September 19.-Anxety is felt at
the Vatican as to the outcome Of the DEM
onstrations tomorrow over the thirty
seventh anniversary of the fall of the
temporal power of the papacy and the cap
ture Of Rome by the Italians. Every year
professions and demonstrations are in
dulged in, but on this occasion the event
has taken a decidedly anti-clerical turn,
under the inspiration of the extreme
parties, and at the Vatican 1t is fea ed 1t
may lead to serious complications.
The general feeling in Vatican circles is
that the whole revival of anti-clericalism is
due to the direct influence of the French
enemies of the papacy, working especially
through Free Masonry and doing all in
their power to start in the Italian penin-
sula an agitation against the church SINH
lar to that in France. Hints are even made
that considerable sums of money have
been contributed for this purpose.
Governments Precautions.
Roman citizens in general deprecate such
a campaign and believe that the extraor-
dinary precautions of the government will
obviate any serious trouble.
In private audiences today Pope Plus
made direct illusions to tomorrow, saying:

ian people will prevent them from falling
