demned murderer. while on the scat
fold, kicked on his shoes. at the same
time shouting in the presence of 200
witnesses, II am no murderer, and
am not going to die with my boots

powering and pacifying him so that
the hanging could be proceeded with.

For several days prior to the hang
ing Lebeau celebrated the event by
feasting and drinking champagne
with friends but some hours before
the time for his execution he ceased
his feasting and drinking and COM

PROTECT THE LEMONS.
Tariff Discussion Reaches Humorous
Stage.

6t1ACs
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Repre-
sentative John w. Brunette of Ala
bama while speaking on the tariff bill
on the floor of the house last night
made an attack upon republican ex-
trayagance, and in the course OF his
speech he pronounced the Payne tar
in bill fraud and a sham. THE
members of the ways and means
committee" ne said, ARE preparing
a bill which Is a premeditated and
deliberate blow at American women.
l am not surprised that such a course
should be taken by the old members
of the house, but the unprovoked
treatment accorded the women by the
princely young gentleman from Ohio,
Longworth, and the gallant and chiv-
alrous gentleman from West Virgin
la, Representative Gaines, the fiery
youth from Michigan, Representative
Forney, and the committee baby
from Washington, Representative
Cushman, fills me with horror, and
has brought CONSERVATION to every
woman's club
Republicans Shed Crocodile Tears
Continuing he said: ITO my mind
1t is bad enough for the members OF
the ways and means committee, and
these gentlemen to be fooling with
hosiery, union suits, and corset COW
ers, but when they place false teeth
on the free list, and at the same time
place a high protective tariff on gar
tiers, ! think they have passed the
limit. The republicans seem to be
in state Of perfect agony, and while
they are shedding their crocodile
tears for the working men in this
tariff revision, want some one to
tell me who is going to pay the adj
ditional half a million dollar tax i'm
posed on stockings"
Lemon Duty is High.
WASHINGTON, April a. T h {
members OF the New York delegation
are holding a conference today with

REOPEN OVER
FLOW LANDLEASE
Idaho Senator's Secure Order for
Further Investigation

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The Id
aho senators have secured an order
which win reopen the question of the
grant given by the government to the
Washington Water Power company
Of Spokane, whereby 1t is permitted
to overflow thousands OF acres OF
lands In the st. Maries and ST. Joe
country. The claim was made IN
procuring the order that the com
pany has overlooked much private
land, and this raises a doubt as to
whether or not under what condi-
tions the grant can be fulfilled, but
this question win be determined at
some subsequent time by the depart
ment
Overflow $4,000 Acres.
The above dispatch relates to the
grant recently obtained by the COM
pany from the department OF the in
terror to overflow lands from St.
Maries to the mouth of the st. Joe
river, and 1t was estimated that
something like 10000 acres of land
would be overfowed. The company
in securing the grant is said to have
represented to the department that
the lands sought to be overlooked
were of a swampy character and Of
no value. The citizens and business
men of the up-river country, rein
forced By the business men OF this
city took mp the fight against the
company, and secured data showing
that in all something like $4,000
acres of land would be overlooked
and completely destroyed. and tina,
most of it was valuable. The de.
partment sent an inspector into the
field TO investigate the matter. and
he was furnished much data by the
business men and settlers OF the up.
river country, and It Is believed thai
It was through his efforts that the
senate was made TO take action.

HONOR ENSIGN MONAGHAN
Torpedo Boat Destroyer to Bear His
Name.


Name.
SPOKANE, Wash, April 2.--En-
sign Robert Monaghan, U. S. N,
whose memory is to be honored by
the war department by giving. one of
the new torpedo boat destroyers the
name of Monaghan. was a native of
eastern Washington, born at Chewe-
lah, March 26, 1873, the son OF Mr..
and Mrs. James Monaghan, of Spok-
ane. He was killed In battle In the
Samoan islands on April /, 1899, as
a result of an ambuscade by the ma
tives from the rebel King Mataafa's
forces on a plantation owned by Ger
mans near Apia. Four American
troopers and three bluejackets from
the British feet also lost their lives
in the ambush.
There were 10 men In the recon
noitering expedition, led by Lieuten-
ant Freeman of the British cruiser
Taurange, other sailors being the
British ship Porpoise and the Amer
lean cruiser Philadelphia. While
crossing the plantation the party was
attacked by 100 natives and the
Americans and British made a brave
stand. Lieutenant Lansdale was OPP
Grating machine gun, which became
disabled by jamming, but he did not
desert his post in the face OF the
whitening fire and was brought down
by a shot that shattered his leg.
Ensign Monaghan and a sailor of
the name Of Hunt went to Lansdale's
assistance and the former was killed
and like the other dead he was de-
capitated by the marauders. 40 OF
whom, including a chieftain, were
killed before the battle ended, The
heads of the slain troopers were
found afterward by French priests
and the graves at Mulinuu were op-
ened to receive them. Ensign Mon
aghan's body was brought to Spok.
ane afterward and there was a nota-
BILE funeral. A bronze monument on
plot overlooking the Spokane Falls
formally dedicated by Bishop Ed.
ward j. O'Dea, of the diocese OF Mis-
qualIy. three years ago, tells of his
heroic deeds.
