Fakgo, N.D.,Nov. 12. The chances that Myron R. Kent will not bans to day grow brighter. Governor Allen has wired JudgcMcConnell for the reason for asking executive clemency. The latter telegraphed back: "The reason I request you to commute the death sentence of Myron Kent is that his is shrouded in mystery, and his con viction Is based merely on circumstan tial evidence which does not preclude all possible doubt." Coming, as this does, from the man who presided over the trial,tt Is strong languagc,and may Influence the gover nor. Immediately on receipt of this the governor wired Judge McConnell to come at once ' to Bismarck. The judge was at Sherbrooke, In 'Steele county, and a telegram says he missed the Great Northern train at Hope,but started to drive 50 miles across the snow-laden prairie with the tempera ture below zero, to reach the main line of the Northern Pacific in time to catch the midnight train to Bismarck. It is a ride to save a man's life, and If he reaches the capital in time to con fer with Governor Allen, the sentence will probably be commuted. Sheriff Barns will have everything In readiness for the execution Thurs day morning unless executive clemency is" exercised within the next 24 hours. Lawless Mexicans. Terry, O. T., Nov. 12. From Greer county, 75 miles southwest of here, comes the news of a battle between officers of Greer and Washita counties and a large body of Mexican1 horse thieves, In which one robber was killed outright.'.several wounded, and two officers wounded. A band of eight or ten Mexicans have been stealing Jhorses and com"1 mlttlng numerous depredations In western counties in Oklahoma. Offi cers of Greer and Washita counties organized a posse and came onto the Mexicans in camp in Greer county. The latter opened lire on the officers. A pitched battle ensued In which more than 100 shots were fired. The officers soon surrounded the band. Of the sheriff's posse two were wounded. The officers wore led by Abraham Brenan, of Washita county. Five of the Mexicans were put in Jail at Arapahoe. He Applied for a Pension. Milwaukee, Nov. 12.

New York, Nov. 12. A ' banquet which took the form of n jubilee in celebration of the recent Republican victory and a. ,reccp,tlon by some of the successful5 (Candidates was given at the Union League club, at Brook lyn last evening. Tbcre were about 300 present. Senator Sherman, In Jils address, advocated convervatlsni on the part of the administration that Is to be. The advice in his speech may be epitomized thus: "Pass the DInglcy bill, improved if possible, so the McKinlcy administra tion may come into power with sutll clent money to meet expenw extra session of- congress. Appoint ment of a tariff commission, and calm deliberate ctnslderation of the whole question. Take care cf the farmers from the point of view of protection. No coinage of sllyer dollars until we can put into the All vor dollar enough Filvcr to make it equal in value to the gold dollar. Welcojno all conserva tive men to tho Republican party. Senator Sherman refcrxed also to tho work cLtbc past administration In extremely Unfavorable terms. BANKER ALBERT'S VIEWS. Banker J. JI. Albert, of Salem, was a delegate to the convention that nominated l'almcr and Buckncr. He docs not concede that the paramount duty of the coming administration Is to enact a new tariff law. His inter pretation of the verdict of tho people Is as follews: "I regard the result as an emphatic endorsement of Mr. Cleveland's finan cial policy," He says, "this was the paramount question. A reliance on tariff policy of the Republican party would have resulted manifestly In our overwhelming defeat, as it has done twice before, resulting both times In tho election of Mr. Cleve land. Hence, tho first duty of con gress should be to enact such laws as may be necessary so as to maintain the Integrity of our circulation upon tho present gold standard to neglect this manifest duty aud undertake tariff tinkering would bo to misin terpret the popular verdict and mis take It for an endorsement of the policy of protection and by such neg lect to subject the national treasury, is well as tho business interests of the country, to a recurrence of disastrous consequences attendant upon our ex cessive currency issues. Nothing will tend to rcstoro confidence In our m- No curltles abroad as prompt prudential financial legislation." As the McKinlcy administration Is largely Indebted to the gold standard Democrats for Its success at the polls, Banker Albert's views arc en titled to more than passing attention. Ills assertion Unit tho verdict of tho people Is an endorsement of Cleve land's financial policy, Is correct. The McKinlcy administration will rec ognize this by appointing Carlisle, Buckncr, Cleveland, a,nd locnlly such Democrats us Albert and Flags of Sa- Je.rn to lucrative positions. Their loy jalty jto the causo of the gold standard 1s undoubted, and asMr. Albert sayp.lt Is not due to Mr. McKInley's tariff views. The gold standard Democrats, or Demo-McKinlcyltes as they must be called hereafter.aro not Tariff men. They are nearly all free traders or re venue tariff men.

The auctioneer's licence at Oregon City Is $8 for 24 hours. Denveh, Nov. 12. Special.) Light has been thrown upon ah other chapter in the life his tory of Matt Adams, the alleged cm-1 bczzlcr of $100,000 of tho funds of Arapahoe county and betrayer of tho people's trust. Seventeen years ago ho deserted his wlfo and two children in the East and has since-perslstcntly refused to contribute to their support. During the years that Adams held a position in Denver paying rrom $30,000 to $50,000 a year he moves in good soci ety aud the highest otllce In tho gift of the Masons and Knights Templar. 1 ,Tho chargo Is now made that an In valid wife at Melrose, Mass. lived on thccharlty of-rnends. Tho Informant Is Mrs. Selma E. Adams of Melrose, Moss. In a -recent letter she writes: "In this I will only refer to what ho wrote me of drlvlngacoal team, which Is only ono instance In many hundreds of heartless lies ho has written. At tho time ho wrote mo this I was home less and penniless, with an Invalid son to caro for. I had written nnd written to my boys's father begging for help, even to hear from him' but months would pass and not a word came, and had It not been for friends my boy nnd I would have starved. "A wealthy cousin In Amcsbury, Mass., offered us a homo for the sum mer, and It was while- there that a ru mor reached us in a round about way that my husband had a good position at a fair salary at the court house. I wrote to him, telling him what I had heard, and begging for help that we might nob.be dependent. All too well I remember his reply, cursing, and raving at me for bellovlng an absurd rumor, rather than his statement qf his own poverty. Ho sworo that It was all false, said Unit he wits 'In tho gutter,' that ho had no friends and that ho went about picking up odd jobs. He said that he had packed furniture, 'anything to earn a dollar,' and that ho was tlicn 'driving a coal team to provide food.' no also told mo that he had n room so poor and mean that I would not enter It' and that there were days that he had not enough to cat, and that ho .deemed me as a burden und that If I 'had tho spunk of other women, wives of eastern men who were there, I'd go to work and .cam monoy to send him, instead of hounding htm all the time.' Ho said there waB no chanco to earn enough for himself to llyo upon. The wholo sad, cruel story of the past seventeen years would fill a volume." It was while In Leadvllle In 1881 that Adams made tlie acquaintance of his present wife, to whom he was afterward married. Ills wlfo In Mas sachusetts makes no mention of his having ever secured a divorce from her, and nothing Is known here of any action he may have taken In that direction here or elsewhere.
