ern country and Hall will have charge
of all the banks.'

CONVICTED OF MURDEk
IN THE SECOND DEGREE

GOLDFIELD, March 22.--Edward
Hughes, the aged miner of this city
was after a trial lasting more than a
week found guilty of murder in the
second degree last Saturday and will
be sentenced to life imprisonment in
the Nevada penitentiary. The sentence
was fixed by the jury and unless new
trial is granted, which is not probable,
the old man will be taken to Carson
to begin serving his sentence in few
days.
Hughes was found guilty of muir
dering George Gillian, another miner of
Goldfeld after he had learned that
wife. He met Gillian on the street and
there shote him to death. He claimed
during the trial that he had asked
Gillian for an explanation and that
Gillian made a movement as if he was
going to draw gun and that he then

The case was similar in many ways
to the trial of Jack Hines, who was
acquitted in Goldfeld on charge of
numbering Count Podhorsky Hines
had followed Podhorsky to Goldfield
from Alaska and shot him while ne
was dining in a Goldfeld restaurant
with Mrs. Hines. He pleaded the "un-
written law and was acquitted after
quite sensational trial

SUIT FOR HEAVY DAMAGES
AGAINST WINGFIELD EFT A,

A suit for 100000 as damages has
been fled at Goldfeld by d. Mac
kenzie & Co. against the Goldfeld Mo-
hawk Mining Co. and George Wing
field and James r. Davis.
The litigation grows out of suit
filed by Goldfeld Mohawk against D.
Mackenzie & Co. and the Frances No
hawk some time ago.
The Mackenzie company alleges that
it was not rightly concerned in the
former sut and that the Seizure of its
assets, since released, under an attach
ment, tended to destroy its business
amounting to $1,000,0OO year.
The Goldfeld Mohawk is sued for
100000 and Wingfeld and Davis, who
were its bondsmen in the former suit,
for 100000.

WATCHING EFFECT OF NEW
TARIFF ON PEOPLE

There isn't going to be as much
"chestiness at the coming long ses-
sion of congress as is wont. The con
gressional elections take place year
from next November, and the majority
will not be easy in its mind until it
is known how the forthcoming tariff
bill is going to affect the results. The
tariff changes are certain to lose the
republican party more or less votes,
and the leaders are not going to do any
thing else they can avoid which would
drive voters from the ranks.

WEEKLY LONDON
NEWS LETTER
BY william True Hawthorne.


LONDON March 10.-British states
men are earnestly discussing a new
plan for curtailing the power of the
house of lords which has been pro
posed by Sir John Gorst. The plan is
based upon the almost forgotten fact
that the summonng of the peers to
parliament is royal prerogative. AT
the beginning of each new parliament
the peers always receive the king IS
writ to attend, but this has become SO
much a matter of form that the fact
that it was anything more than form
had been lost sight of. The fact re-
mains, however, that any peer who
failed to receive the royal summons
would not legally be entitled to his
seat in the house of lords.
The house of lords alwaye is tory
body. When the tories are in a ma
iority in the house of commons and
have formed the government, the up
per house is complacent ally of the
lower one anu tHe government mas no
difficulty in getting through its legis-
lative measures. When the liberals
have the majority in the house and con.
troll the ministry, its measures not only
are opposed by the minority in com.
mons but by the majority in the house
of lords, and the lords will never pass
any liberal measure which they think
it safe to veto. Clearly this is contrary
to the spirit of the two-party system
Of government, for when the country
has returned a tory majority to the
house of commons the tories are un-
hampered in carrying out their cam.
paign pledges; whereas, on the other
hand, the liberals are never able to
make good all their promises because
of tory opposition in the house of
lords.

The view of the Englishman is that
a parliamentary election is the coun
try's mandate to parliament to carry
out whatever pledges have been made
in the platform of the successful party
and that whoever puts obstacles in the
way is thwarting the VIII of the Brit
ish people. The Englishman is slow,
however, to change his institutions,
and the house of lords is one of his
most ancient ones.
Sir John Gorst's plan would be very
simple in operation. When the liber-
ais were in control of the commons and,
therefore, the ministry, he would have
the king summon to parliament only
such peers as the prime minister pro.
posed to him, the list being SO arranged
SO that the liberals would have a ma.
jority in the upper as well as the lower
house. The liberals would be required
in advance of the parliamentary elec.
tion to publish list of the peers it
proposed to have summoned, so that
when the country voted it would vote
also either approval or rejection of the
list. This would in a measure make
the house of lords an elective body, an
it would assure always that the party
in power would have working ma
jority in both houses and would be en-
abled TO put through the legislative
program to which the country had Civ
EN- its sanction.
The liberal leaders have not for
smally committed themselves to the
Gorst plan, but something is going to
be done to clip the wings of the lords
and that something is going to be done
right speedily.

The Daylight Saving Bill seems
destined to die a victim of ridicule. AS
the opponents of the measure have no
reasonable objection upon which to
base their opposition, they have resort
ed to poking fun at the very serious
men who are striving by legislative EN-
actment to make Englishmen get up
and go to bed by the sun instead of by
their clocks.
Wilbur Wright, the American flying
machine man, figured the other day in
debate on the measure. Sir eIInry Nor
man demanded to know what Wright
would think of Englishmen when fiv-
ing over the land in the early and most
beautiful hours of the morning he
found the nation still fast asleep. The
argument appeared a very convincing
one to Sir Henry, but the unimigina-
tive opposition refused to be impressed a
with it. Advocates Of the measure de
bate it, mostly to empty benches when
there Is no more pressing business be-
fore the house, but there doesn't I ap-
pear the remotest chance that one of
the most unique reforms ever advocat-
cd will be enacted into law, at least
not by the present parliament.

Statehood for Arizona and New

next session. The method by which
passage of the statehood bill was pre-
vented at the last session smacked very
much of trick. and the same trick is
not likely to work twice. The state.
hood bill can be put through the house
in an hour. and as there is no set dav
upon which the next session must ad-
journ the bill can be forced to vote
in the senate. Once a vote is allowed
separate statehood for the two terri
tories is assured.

TO SPRINGFIELD BY TROLLEY
Proposed Legislation May Bring
About Berkshire System Extension

According to an editorial note in
the Springfield Republican the people
of Berkshire county will probably
again go to the legislature at the
coming session with the bill to permit
the Berkshire street railway to be
owned by the New Haven road.
If that bill is passed by the legisla-
ture, the line connecting Springfield
with Pittsfield, Great harrington and
the whole Berkshire territory be-
tween Great harrington and Benning-
ton, VT, including Adams, North Ad-
ans and Williamstown, will undoubt-
eddy be built soon. The feeling OF
the men who direct the pelicy OF the
street railway companies consolidated
in the New England Investment G.
Securities company has been much
changed by the recent act of the rail-
road commissioners, and it is believ-
ID that Western Massachusetts can
Degin TO count with confidence upon
having within few years a trolley

yience for the travelling public of this

land for dinner without being obliged
to start before breakfast At Rut-
land the train will make good con
nections with Burlington and points
north. 1t is now possible to leave

business in Rutland, and return for
supper. The south bound milk train
carries passengers, leaving Rutland
at $40 and arriving here az $3.50 p.

cUsHMAN's THREAT
That He VIII Get After Backward
Vermont Corporations.

Burlington, Dec. TT am going to
get after them, hot and heavy"
So said j. e. Cushman. state tax
commissioner in reference to the col
lection of taxes from persons doing
business in the state under other than
their own names, and co-partnerships
with conditional names and no other
designated names, such as Tarbox
Brothers, Tarbox & Co., etc. The law
provides for the registration of such
firms, the description of which does
not contain the surnames of all CO
partners or members thereof, and
without designating their Christian
names.
So far as Mr.. Cushman knows there
remain only one unregistered firm in
Grand Isle county and one in Addison
county. Mr.. Cushman now intends to
clean up Chittenden county.
About $50 concerns have already
registered and there remain over 200
who have not done so, although noti-
fed four times by the commissioner.
Next will come the injunction, which
will be issued soon, enjQining such
delinquents from further doing bust
ness, If the provisions of the statutes
are not complied with
1t is rather hard to keep tab on all
such concerns, for new ones are con
tinually springing up like mushrooms
and others are as mysteriously disap-
pearing.
