FOR ILLEGAL SEALING.
American Revenue Cutter Seizes Brit
iSh Vessel.

Washington, June 5-The secretary
of the treasury has received a tele
gram from Captain Ainsworth of the
revenue cutter Rush stating that he
had seized the British sealing schoon
er Charlotte G. Cox, which was found
illegally catching seals in Fairweathe1
grounds off Alaska. The Cox had sew
enty-seven fur sealskins on board. The
department has directed the comman
der Of the Rush to deliver the Cox to
the British authorities at the nearest
port in British Columbia in accord
ance with the Joint regulations of the
two governments in case of seizure
The Rush also reported the presence
of Japanese sealers in the same vicin
ity with large number of sealskins
on board. The Japanese sealers, how
ever, are not subject to seizure out
side of territorial waters.

utes and was delivered to a crowded
ical effort. 1t met a fire of objections
from the defense, first against the as
sertion of Mr. Hawley that the leaders
Of the Western Federation of Miners
were responsible for scores of muir
ders" and next against the charge that
the great conspiracy extended back to
the infancy of the federation.
Reviews Steunenberg Murder.
In beginning his address Mr.. HaW.
ley briefly went over the events i'm
mediately preceding the death of for
mer Governor Steunenberg, whom he
described as one of the foremost fig
ures of the state of Idaho. He told
also Of the positions held by Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone in the West
ern Federation of Miners. He said
that Harry Orchard, who is said to
have confessed to placing the bomb
which blew Governor Steunenberg into
eternity, was also member.
1T is our purpose" the leading al-
torney for the state went on, to show
that the death of Steunenberg was the
result of a conspiracy, an understand
ing and collision between the leaders
Of the Western Federation of Miners
and other persons"
Mr.. Hawley then went into the for
nation of the Western Federation of
Miners. The executive committee, he
explained, was given almost absolute
control of the body, but few men
being in command of the destinies of
the big organization He said the
rank and file Of the organization knew
little of what was going on among
these few men and were guiltless of
the crimes alleged.
but we will show" he said, that
the leaders of this organization have
been responsible not only for the death
of Steunenberg but scores of others
BESIDES"
Mr.. Darrow, for the defense, object
ed to this statement, declaring that
the death Of scores Of others had moth
ing to do with the case at bar. His
objection was overruled.
Doings of the "lnner Circle"
II shall not go outside the record
declared Mr.. Hawley. "Our object
will be to show that from the very
inception of the Western Federation
of Miners there has existed con-
spiracy among it's leaders-its inner
circle'-the object of which was not
only to perpetuate their own power
and control the Western Federation
of Miners but of the governmental
functions of those sections of the coun-
were employed.
'The leaders have employed des-
perate criminals from time to time to
do away with those who may have
been selected for one reacon or an
other for disappearance ami who have
ran counter to their int ests."
Mr.. barrow again objected to the
remarks of the prosecuting attorney,
but was overruled.
Mr.. Hawley said that he would prove
that the timer circle" of the Western
Federation Of Miners was responsible
for the death of Arthur Collins at Tel
luride and of many other people in
Colorado and elsewhere. He charged
the blowing up of the Cripple Creek
(Colo) depot, causing the death of
fourteen people, to the direct instiga.
ton of Haywood. He said that Orchard
and Adams committed this and other
crimes on the specific request Of Hay
wood.
The first witnesses called testified
to the death of Governor Steunenberg,
the presence of Orchard in the Yicin-
ity and his subsequent arrest for the
murder

DEMURRER is OVERRULED.
Great Northern Must Stand Trial OF
Charge Of Relating.

New York, June 5.-The demurrer
interposed by the Great Northern Rail-
way company to indictments charging
the granting of rebates was overruled
by Judge Holt in the United States
court. The court holds that although
the contract upon which the indict-
ments were based was made prior to
the passage Of the Elkins act it was
not completed until after the act went
into effect This, he rules, would be
sufficient, if the charges are proven,
to place the company on defense at a
final hearing.

The Mississippi Election.

Governor Vardaman was beaten for the Sen
ate by 648 votes. Considering the advantage
which John Sharp Williams had in the race
the moral victory is Vardaman's.
That he will yet be. the ambassador of his
state to the Senate of the United States is
just as certain as the continuance of his life.
Vardaman is one of those big, brave, brainy
fellows who are not to be kept down. From
this defeat he will rise and come again.
The Jeffersonian was warmly his friend in
the campaign, and is proud of the splendid
fight he made against great odds.
And while the buglers of the corporations
are footing their horns jubilantly over the
selection of Williams, the Jeffersonian accepts
the Joy of the corporation tooters as but an
other evidence of the fact that John Sharp Will
liams is one of the corporation Doodles.

who would not have had ghost of show for

Day after day has been consumed in stub

ask for nothing better than to be let alone.
Let us alone, while we violate your State
