anticipated that peace will be concluded
before long, and the war office haa coun

forcements to Africa.
Tt is admitted that Kinz Humbert at
one time was face to face with the possi
bility of ontbreaks serious enough to
develop into almost anything. This
enabled the socialists to obtain conces
sions they could not otherwise have com
manded. - To cap the peaceful climax comes the
pleasant report that Emperor William

Austria and King Humbert will meet at
Genoa in a few days, and a series of

A FKESH SENSATION.
Governor Bradley Denounced By trie
Kentucklan Democrats.
Fbankfobt, Ky., March 13. At 11:30
a. m., Sheriff Armstrong arrived, who
claimed to have received instructions
from Governor Bradley to clear the sen
ate cloak-room, in which were Senator
Blackburn and h friends, including
Jack Chinn. The Blackburn leaders at
once drew up a resolution rebuking the
governor. .
; Betrie, a republican, asked that a
committee be appointed to confer with
the governor and see if such an order
bad been issued.
Bronston bitterly ecored the governor,
and Goobel said the governor had no
; right to interfere with the rightB of the
senate. "I, for one," he shouted, "am
ready to protect my own rights and pri
vileges." Sailer said it was the duty of the sen
ate out of respect to the governor, to
send a committee to find out if he had
issued such an order.
Brbnston eaid: "Never will a com
mittee go to the governor with my con
sent, or with my vote. I would de
nounce the act of the governor, if it were
with the last drop of my blood. It is an
outrageous, unlawful, 'treacherous act,"
he screamed, above the pounding of the
gavel and the suppressed hum of many
voices. "Let the governor leave us
alone. Let us pass resolutions to con-
demn the man who is governor by ac
cident. I denounce bis actions as a
. Kentuckian and as a man."
' Senator Dehoe denounced the reflec
tion of the governor as untrue. "I say
it to his face," he said, glaring at Brons
ton. Then he eat down.
' Bronston jumped up and commenced
to unbutton hia vest, but before he could
act the presiding officer succeeded in re
storing order.
Sailer said he was not willing to insult
the governor, and moved to refer the
motion offered by Bronston to the com
mittee on rules. This waa done, and
Bronston, Goebef, and the leaders of the
Blackburn faction, seeing they had been
outvoted, subsided.
The governor later denied having
given the sheriff any such orders as
stated, and Senator Bronston begged the
governor's pardon.
In the pint assembly the roll-call
showed 128 members present : necessary
to a choice 65.
' The ballot resulted ; Blackburn 50 :
Carlisle 13, Bucker 1. The Republicans
again refused to vote.
' The chair announced no election, and
the meeting adjourned.
MARSHAL. NYE'S. EXECUTION.
A North Carolinian Believes That It
Did No Occur.
New York, March 13. Rev. J. P.
Weston, rector of the church of the As
cension, at Hickory, N. C, who recently
wrote ' a : volume entitled "Historic
Doubts as to the execution of Marshal
Ney," has informed hia publisher,
Thomas Whittaker, of this city, that the
theory that Ney was not killed on De-
i cember 7, 1815, has been further con
firmed by recent researches.
' According to the argument advanced
in the book Ney was not hit by the'bul
lets aimed at him on the field of execu
tion, and was afterward taken to a hos-
pital by his friends, whence he fled
disguise to America, where he lived as
Peter Stuart Ney, a schoolmaster,
North and South Carolina till 1846,
when he died. -
Mr. Weston had learned that a son of
Marshal Ney called upon Peter Stuart
Ney about 17 years after his arrival in
America. A few days ago Weston found
that this son was living in a little town
near Louisville, Ky. He is 83 jears old
He admitted his. identity to Weston
He said that he came to this country in
1837, and his father gave him $1000,
He entered Jefferson medical college in
Philadelphia, where he was graduated
During his whole life in the United
States, however, be has lived under an
assumed name. He said that in the
evening after the supposed execution his
father visited the house of his mother in
Paris and remained a few minutes. He
has written a history of his father, which
be has placed in Mr. Weston's hands
His identity will not be divulged until
after his death, when the book is to be
published.
A Little Girl Drowned.
A little dumb girl, the daughter of
Frank Beason of Gilliam county, was
drowned in a well near the house Tues
dav moraine. The following are the
particulars, as related by the Fossil
Journal: The children were playing
outside, running around the bouse, and
her 13-year-old brother was the first to
miss the child, whose tracks he traced
to the well, where a hole in the rapidly
melting snow explained only too well
the sad fate that had overtaken his
sister. He jumped into the well and
found the body in four feet of icy water
and lifted it out with the aid of bis
mother, whom he had frantically called
to hia assistance. The father and D. H
Smith, who were building fence net far
rora the house, were hastily summoned
and did all in their power to resuscitate
the poor little body, but in vain.
Blakeley & Houghton desire ns to pub'
lisb the following extract from a letter
of Chas. M. Gutfeld of Eeedley, Fresno
county, Calif., as they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a splended medicine it is
"It ia with pleasure I tell you that by
one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My head was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this remedy freely as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs.

A BURGLAR IS KILLED
Spokane Man's Deadly
Markmansliip.
AN AWFUL MINE DISASTER
By
an Explosion of Ulant . Powder
Four Men Are Dead and Two
Fatally Injured.
Spokane, Wash., March 14. W. R
Mann, a prominent insurance man, was
awakened early this morning by a burg'
lar in his room. He drew a revolver
from beneath his bed and fired at the
intruder. The robber jumped out of the
window, ran about 100 yards and fell
dead.
Mann says he fired but once, but th
robber is perforated by two bullet
wounds, either of which would prove
fatal. One is -through the breast, the
other in the bead.
The theory is that wheu the robber
fell he sent a bullet through bis head
from his own revolver. The burglar is
unknown. He is a large man, witb
black mustache.
Was Identified.
This afternoon the body of the dead
burglar- was positively indentified by
neighbors as Frank Robinson, formerly
a farmer, but for a year or more a resi
dent of this city, though spending part
of his time in Portland. He was for
time employed in a second-hand store,
but for the past year has been ont of
employment much of the time. As he
had never been suspected of crim'e here
tofore, his friends believe he was driven
to the deed by poverty. He attracted
attention a short time ago by bringing a
suit against a drug company in this city
charging that the death of one of his
children had been caused by the firm's
failure to give the right medicine.
Awful Mine Disaster.
Spokane, March 14. A special to the
Spokesman-Review from . Roslyn, B. C,
says one of the most disastrous accidents
in the history of British Columbia min
ing occurred at the Center Star mine
here this afternoon. As a resultof the
explosion of two boxes of giant powder
four men are dead and two more so sev
erely hnrt that they will probably die
The two boxes of giant powder were
being thawed out in hot water, and the
only man who knows how it became ig
nited lies at the point of death in the
hospital. He came running out. of the
tunnel, saying "the powder is on fire,"
but before he could reach a place of
safety the explosion came.
Eight men were working in the mine.
The dead are Thomas Gibbons, mar
ried; Joe Dolan, single; Dan Lynch,
single; Mike Ravigan, single. The in'
jured are Ed.' Shanahan, single, not ex
pected to live: Mike Brooks, single,
The saved are M. McClement and i
man named Collins. ,
The Brown Trial.
San Francisco, March 14. The Con
gregational council, before which Rev
Dr. Brown baa been on trial charged
wilh immoral and nnministerial conduct,
has adjourned nntil Tuesday without
finding a verdict. From several infor-
mat votes taken on various minor
charges it- is believed the council will
find Dr. Brown has not been proven
guilty of immorality, but will condemn
him for nnministerial behavior. The
verdict would cost him his present pas
torate bnt would not debar bim from
any other pnlpit which might be open to

Seattle, March 14. The Great North
ern railway has made another reduction
in the' wages of its .employes, the men
affected being agents, telegraph opera

ization, because some salaries have been
raised. The entire coast line in Wash
ington suffers from the change.

HE HAS HIS TROUBLES.
Trials of a Messenger Boy for the Tele
graph Company.
A telegrhaph messenger probably sees
as much of the other side of human
nature as a doctor. One told an Atch
son Globe writer recently that a woman
never opened a telegram without turn
ing- pale, and,, when the me-ssi.g-? wn
not alarming-, they looked disappointed.
He delivered about two death nice
sag-es a day,four birth mcss:e.!c3,ti frea
many business messages, and once in a
great while a love message that makes
him tired to carry it. He carried one
recently to a young- man in town that
read:
"How are you to-day darling?"
- The answer went promptly back by
the boy and was to this effect: "I am
better, love." He once carried a mes
sage of death to a colored woman, an
after reading- it her emotion overcome
her to such an extent that she caugL
the messenger in her arms and soundly
boxed his ears. Another cojpred woman
refused to open or. sign for a message
but walked the floor and beat her
breast, and screamed, supposing it an
nounced a death. When all the neigh
bors had come in, one more venture
some than the rest road the message.
It was simply a notice that the woman's
sjster would come up from Leaven
worth that evening to see her.
CLEAN" SHAVE.
Precautions Which Might Be Adopted for
the Safety of Customers.
Nothing is easier than for contagion
to be conveyed from a diseased to
healthv skin during the act of shav
ing, and many cases have now been re
corded, says the Medical Press, prov
ing that diseased processes have in this
manner been propagated. Probably
the readiest manner available to the
barber .for preventing such untoward
occurrences would be by sterilizing his
instruments" by means of heat, either
by steam or boiliug water. Razors
should be made so that their handles
would not suffer from the exposure to
highdegrees of heat, and the rule should
beenforced that in no case should any of
the "instruments" be used consecutive
ly without having first been submitted
to the sterilizing process. ' Under this
rule, then, each customer would be
sure of having' a "clean" shave in more
senses-than one. Of course, also, on
the principle of a "fresh pot of tea for
each customer," a freshly scalded-out
lather pot should be included witii each
shave. Unless these or similar pre
cautions be carried out in barbers
shops, cases of the conveyance of in
fectious skin diseases from customer
to customer cannot fail to occur.
Nature Sow Does What Men Have Long
Tried in Tain to Do.
Nature '.s doing for California vine
yardists what they long and fruitlessly
tried to do for themselves. It is re
ported from many localities that the
phylloxera, the most serious pest that
has ever attacked the vines, is dying
out. The experts have tried every
remedy to stay the progress of this
pest, but without avail, and six year
ago the vmeyardists of the Sonoma and
Napa valleys plowed up all their vines
and replanted the ground with resist
ant stock. The experts believed that
all non-reistaiit vines were doomed
to destruction by the phylloxera. But
reports hove recently come to the state
inspector of orchard pests that a ma
terial falling off in the ravages of the
pest haa been noticed for some time.
Vines once affected by it are now al
most free. The inspector has beertir.
a thorough investigation of the pleas
ing phenomena. ; He thinks some nat
ural enemy of tie pest has appeared
or that some deadly disease has at
tacked the phylloxera and is extermin
ating it. Whatever is the cause, the re
sult will mean great gain for the vine
yardists. A Pertinent Answer.
An amusing correspondence recently
took place between a Wisconsin farmer
and a local boiler firm. The farmer
wrote, as follows:. "Dere l-'ires I have a
1,000 akers of trees that I want cut. Im
pore but Im willing to pay too hundred
dolers fer nn engin that will do my
work,"" and he went on to explain just
what sort of an engine he wanted. The
boiler firm saw that the engine neces
sary to accomplish the devastation of
his virginal forest would cost $3,000,
and they informed him to this effect. A
week passed and then the following
pithy epistle came, from the Wisconsin
woods: ' Dere Sires what n all git out
wud I want of an engin or boiler if 1
bed $3,000?"

MUNITIONS OF WAR)
Bermuda Takes Substantia
Aid to Cubans.
FORTY TON'S OF AMMUNITION
Spanish War, Vessel on the Lookout
ror Ber and Other Fill
- busters.
New York, March 16. The Press this
morning says:
Despite the efforts of the Spanish con
suls, ministers and spies in this country
in the face of the loss of the steaniBhio
J. W. Hawkins, and the seizure by
United States marshals of the steamship
Bermuda, the Cubans in this vicinity
have now upon the sea bound for the is
land, whose freedom is the one thought
of their lives, that identical cargo of am
munition of the steamship. On another
vessel it is understood are a lot of men
who are to be transferred to the Bermu
da on the high seas. .
. . The Bermuda left New York yester
day morning. It waa short'y after 8
o'clock when she got up her anchor, 10
o'clock when she passed Sandy Hook
and abont noon when she distanced the
fleet of newspaper tuga that followed her
to sea.
The air was filled,with rumors yester
day. : Thomas Estrada Palma haa dis
appeared from town and Calixto Garcia
left his home early in the morning and
had not returned at a late hour last
night. The report was they had sailed
for Cuba, and that it was the intention
of the patriots to perfect the system of
government in Cuba in order to induce
a more substantial support from other
countries, including the. United States
than that of mere sympathy.
This fact did not deter the Cubans
from loading her decks down with gun
powder and arms for the insurgents in
Cnba, and in all 40 tons of ammunition
and guns were placed on board the Ber
muda and also several cases containing
dynamite. : ,

Spanish War Vessels Watching for Fili
busters Along Florida's Coast.
Key West, Fla., March 16. Before
the steamships Bermuda, Three Friends
and Commodore, each supposed to be
carrying a filibustering i expidition to
Cuba, reach the island they will have to
run the gauntlet of a number of Spanish
warships now cruising the east coast of
Florida. Three days ago three Spanish
war vessels appeared off the south beach
of the island of Key West. Since then
the vessels have hovered about 10 or 12
miles out, apparently watching for fili
busters. Yesterday afternoon the Span
ish vice-consul went out to one of the
vessels in a steam launch, and it ia sup-
posed gave the commander some infor
mation relative to the movements of the
suspected steamers. Immediately after
the vice-consul left the vessel the three
cruisers Bailed away to the north. The
supposition is that they will patrol the
east ' coast of Florida watching for the
Bermuda, Three Friends and the Com
modore.
There is said to be a large number of
men encamped on one ot the Florida
keys north of here, who expect to be
taken by one of the three vessels. The
key is in United States waters, however,
and it is not believed the Spanish will
dare to interfere with the men. As far
as known United States officials have
received no orders to watch for the sue
pected vessels.

DETERMINED TO HAVE A "SCOOP.1
A Nebraska
Editors Plan
Bis Rival.
to Outdo
Omaha, March 16. A special from
Midvale, Neb., says:
Because a rival paper "scooped" bim
on an important item a week ago, John
Merchant, the editor of a Midvale week
ly, wrote a thrilling account of hia own
suicide for publication in last Monday's
issue of his own paper and swallowed
poison half an hour after his contempor
ary had gone to press. ' i '
Merchant waa evfdently in earnest in
hia effort at self-destruction, for he
locked himself in his office-to give the
fatal drug time to take effect, and re
fused admission to hia foreman, who
rushed to his assistance as soon aa be
discovered what his employer has done.
Appalled at his obstinacy, the foreman
lost no time in bursting in the door.
Then he summoned a physician. With
the latter's help the newspaper man waa
finally saved. The opposition came out
late with an extra giving a full account
of the affair, including its happy termin
ation, but Merchant is much cousoled
by the thought that the original and
really only authentic announcement was
on the street in his own paper several
hours before his rival was able to reach
its subscribers.
