The Times-Moantaineer SATURDAY APBIL 8, 1893 BAYARD AND BLAINE. The Albany Democrat has always ' bjen a consistent organ of party priu ciplea, and it never misses an oppor , t unity to speak, in defense of the na tional policy of the organization. .' Mr, Blaine' sleeps. in an honored' grave; bat the Democrat cannot, even at this late day, cease saying something that , : will lessen , the respect entertained for his statesmanship by nearly all of his fellow citizens, and to do this it critl - cises tbe position taken by the Times- Mountaineee in placing him in - higher rank than Hon. T. F. Bayard. . In its issue of last Tuesday it says Mr. Bayard did not inaugurate a strong national policy and when Mr. Harrison, in 1889, took the executive chair be found . many international complications, which Mr. Blaina amicably adjusted. The most . difficult of these was the Bebring sea con . troversy, which Mr. Bayard left in a very unsettled shape. if the same policy nan . been pursued it would very likely have rt suited in a foreign war; but happily it was .not, and war wu ortotf by the statesman ship exercised by the. aecretary of state chosen by Mr. Harrison. Mountaineer. It was the boast of Republicans that when Mr. Blaine was made secretary of state he . would at once adopt a vigorous foreign policy. But all were disappointed, except. may be, the editor of the Mountaixbeb - who seemed to believe that Republican prophecy had been verified, and he arrived at thia conclusion because he depended upon the fancies of a lively imagination rather than upon notorious facta.. ' Nothing con tributed so mncb to the defeat of Blame at . Minneapolis as his failure as secretary of state. Only the other day the Oregonian said that Bayard managed the Bebring sea question with much better sense than did Blaine. The Mountainssb should bear in mind that that question is not settled yet. bnt ran through the entire four years of Harrison's administration with .precious little progress being made. No foreign question of any importance was settled by . Blaine or Harrison. J If our co temporary desired to be fair in this matter he would acknowledge that the manner in which the state department managed the Mafia affair in New Orleans, the Chilian imbroglio, - and brought to a plan of amicable settlement the long controversy over ' the seal fisheries in Behring sea clearly established the reputation of Mr. , Blaine as a statesman and a patriotic American. The unsatisfactory man ner in which the Cleveland adminis tration of 1884-88 -left the dispute with' Great Britain regarding the Behring sea question, placed the coun try on the verge of a foreign war, in which this country would have been at a great disadvantage by reason of not haying, at that time, a navy compe . tent to contest supremacy with that na- , tion, which has for many years been justly considered the mistress of the ocean. . By diplomacy, never excelled in this coin try, and only equalled in modern history by the ingenuity exercised by Pitt in the Napoleonic wars, Hon. James 6. Blaine unravelled the tan- ' gled international threads, and that which seemed possible only to be Bet - tied by the arbitrament of armed forces, was brought to the peaceful so lution of arbitration.' In the Mafia affair, the United States was forced to deal with a country whose navy is only second to that of Great Britain, and whose diplomats had but a meagre understanding of the complex rela tions of our state and general govern ments. ' The Italians were killed by a lawless mob, and for a less- offense . than this nations have been involved in bloody and devastating wars; yet the matter was settled without any in - terruption of the peaceful ' relations existing. When the two sailors of the Baltimore were shot in the streets of Yalpairaiso, the act was not, coolly considered, an insult to our flag, but simply a row between the seamen of ' two countries, in which fatal results frequently follow. The secretary of state so adroitly managed this affair that an apology was received from Chili and indemnity given to the fam ilies of the American sailors. Read ing history, with eyes not blinded by partisan prejudice, any honest student cannot but give Mr. Blaine a position among the leading statesmen of this &ge.J During Mr, Bayard's incum bency in the state department nothing of a strong national character was in augurated, and it is fortunate indeed the Mafia nd Baltimore affairs did not happen during that period. For many years we have entertained the highest respect for the Oregonian, both as a great newspaper in being supplied with the facilities of a complete journal, and also in the able and ex haustive manner in which its editorials have marked out the path for the public mind to follow; but we have also noticed an inclination in it to bury the good deeds of a man in the grave with his mortal remains, and as' far as pos Bible to make his evil ones live on for ever. In other words, it seems im pelled to kick the dead lion whom it would not face or fiht while living. If our memory is not at fault, the Oregonian was one of the many papers that applauded the manner in which . Mr. Blaine managed international com plications. The administration of the state department under Mr. Bayard and Mr. Blaine is now a matter of history, and Republicans are satisfied that the verdict of the student in the future will take no laurels from the brow of him who now sleeps in an honored grave in the state of Maine. The great temple at Salt Lake will be formally dedicated from April 6 to 18th, and during these days the struct ure will be opened to visitors. " Yes terday the semi-annual conference' of the Mormon church was held in the edifice, and addresses, were delivered by the leading lights of the church of Latter Day Saints. In the completion of this work of architecture has cen tered the hopes and aspirations of that church for many years, and very , many believed that when' it was' finished sublunary , affairs would come to an abrupt ending by the sound of Ga briel's trumpet; bat it is very proba-1 ble that in this conjecture they were mistaken. An a monument of the steadfast faith of the adherents of the disciples of, Joseph Smith to the doc trines of the Book of Mormon, this temple furnishes indisputable evidence. For years- the work has gone steadily onward, until in a region where Brig ham Young and bis followers found nothing but desert lands, has been erected the most finished piece of modern architecture on the American continent. Every stone placed in the structure was an evidence of the sin cerity of the belief of the Mormons in their religious creed, and, while many condemn that part of the faith which admits of polygamy, yet all will ad mire the thrift and industry displayed by these people in their home in the desert. American enterprise has pen etrated into Utah, and the country or the people are not what they were when isolated from the balance of the civilized world. The Salt Lake of Mrs. Stenhouse is not the same city that it is to-day, and the enforcement of the Edmunds law has almost driven the crime cf polygamy from its borderr. THE CAUCUS. lion. J. 11. Mitchell made the ar gument before the United States sen ate in favor of the adoption of the minority report of the committee which was against admitting the sen ators, appointed by the governor?, to seats. . He may have been conscien tious in the stand he has taken on this question, and if so the consciousness of doing what he believes to be right may be all the reward he will receive. One of the reasons stated by him was, if these senators were admitted, it would impair party discipline and give license to the minority to ob struct 'elections. This may sound all right to those who believe in ma' chine polities; but in all represent tive bodies, it must be recollected, by combinations between populous dis tricts, the rights of the minority may be completely ignored, and the demo cratic element in government en tirely obliterated. A stubborn mi nority, it is true, may block legislation indefinitely; but the rights of the few representatives from the sparsely set-: tied portions of the state should not be under the heel of the many from the large cities in the legislature, The same is true of members of the lower house of congress from the dif ferent states, and Mr. Mitchell's line of reasoning would undoubtedly result in this state of afiaiis. The power of the caucus in county conventions, state legislatures and in congress should not be absolute, and, while con sideration should be paid to its decis ions in all matters touching legislation and elections, yet, when by so doing the sovereignty of the people is jeo pardized, it supremacy should cease. It has frequently happened in all rep resentative bodies, that the wishes of the public have been trampled under feet, and combinations and cliques have ruled in a despotic manner. The democracy in our institutions cannot be too carefully guarded, and one of the greatest dangers it encounters is in the sovereign sway of the caucus. To-morrow is the day set apart by the Christian church in comniemora tion of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the' dead, and as such is a mem orable event in the history of the religious world. '. The teachings of Christ marks a reformatory epoch in the world, and from that date modern religion dates its birth. Bites and ceremonies no longer bad any great significance, and the motive which impelled the action was given greater weight than the act itself. The moral code of the Savior consisted iu purify ing the heart of evil desires, and in making man a volitive being rather than a machine He emphasized this in all nis teachings, and sealed his honesty by his death ' on the cross. His resurrection from the dead fur nishes to the Christian indisputable evidence that there is life beyond the grave, and "at Easter time this hope is symbolized in the budding flower and opening leaf. Ihe teachings of tne Savior would have lacked complete ness without he followed them to the tomb, and the future would be dark and dismal without faith iu a resurrec tion morning. . The heroism of George E. Richard son in going, under the most adverse circumstances, to give warning to the Southern Pacific train of the danger which threatened the lives of the pas sengers, is in marked contrast to the maliciousness of the men who at tempted to cause the accident for either gain or revenge.' There are good and bad elements in human na ture, and it gives one confidence in mankind generally that sometimes a noble action is set against one that is most diabolical. Punishment could not be too severe for the villains who attempted to wreck the train, and too much praise cannot be bestowed on him who by endurance and courage, whL'h reach sublimity averted the catastrophe. But the cowardly scoundrels and the hero are all mem bers of the human family, and the act of the former will show how low one can sink in devilishness, and the hero ism of the other what bights can be reached by persons in the humblest capacity. The story that the correspondent of a paper started about Ex-Secretary Foster and Paymaster Halford giving themselves very liberal allowances for work performed, appears to have been a child of the imagination, and it is difficult to traoe it to any , responsible source. Perhaps some zealous Demo crat thought he would do a good act for his party by besmirching the repu. tation of those in close contact with the Harrison administration. Who ever he is, his Maunchansen creations has ' recoiled upon himself, and has done nobody any harm! .', , COMMON SENSE VS LOVE. Nearly every day the dispatches contain intelligence of some individual committing suicide because the woman on whom he has placed his affections refuses to join her fortunes with his in the bonds of matrimony. One day it is a student in Chicago, then a worthless fellow at Oakland, and again a barber at Yancouver. The worst feature in these tragedies is that, in many instances, the innocent victim is killed before the man blows out his own brains. It may be termed erotomania, which perhaps c is a good definition of this species of insanity; but judging these acts by the ordinary rules of common sense, ' one would come to tne con elusion that the mental faculties were not' fully developed-, or, in other words, that the persons are more nearly akin to idiots than lunatics. Of course, girls cannot be blamed for being the center of attraction of an over zealous lover.aod it is to be -deplored that they suffer the consequences. If those troubled by erotomania would confine their acts to themselves the community would not be very great losers; but, when any prepossessing young lady is liable to become the target for a pistol bullet, because she exercises good sense in selecting a husband, the freak is too dangerous to be treated with frivolity. The acts of these maniacs furnish conclusive evidence that they would not make desirable husbands for sensible girls, and, if like produces likej would not be proper progenitors of the coming race. Sentimental love has existed in all ages, and, while youthful ideas aredeveloped by the trashy literature that finds 'its place in nearly all libraries, it will maintain its supremacy over sound ' judgment "Love at first sight,' ana "love in a cottage" are deeply impressed in the minds of boys and girls, and they go through life attempting to imitate some brainless hero or frivolous hero ine. There should be sound sense exercised in the choice of a husband or wife, and the silly notions which now prevail should be driven from the youthful mind,. Some women are not oroDer affinities for some men. In entering the marriage relation eonsid eration should be given to the har monious blending of the parties in the life contract, and also to the intelligent prorogation of offspring, which sancti fies the union in the sigh of God and society. In the April number of the Century is an article on "J be unicago An archists of 1886," by Hon. Joseph E. Gary, tne judge who presided at the trial. It is not written so much as a history of the proceedings as to give the legal aspect of the conviction of the anarchists, and to prove that the verdict of the jury was in accordance with well established precedents in our y8tem of jurisprudence. Illinois, as is well known, is a common law state, and the statute, under which these msn were convicted of conspiracy and murder, has been sustained by the supreme court. The object of Judge Gary's paper is not to apologize for the actions of the court and jury, or to prove that it was conformable to public sentiment then prevailing; but to show that the verdict was in accordance with the law of the land. He proves from well established authorities that he who counsels conspiracy, if such act re. suits in murder, is guilty of the crime It was never supposed ' that Parsons, Sshwabb, or others who suffered the extreme penalty of violated law, threw the fatal bomb, or even advised' the particular deed; but articles published in the Alarm and Arbeiter advocated such proceedings, and, therefore, when Degan was killed instantly and other policemen fatally injured at Hay market, the editors were guilty, of murder. This is established law, and no jury or. court in tne United States will hesitate in enforcing it. Anarchy is doomed in - this country, and riotous meetings cannot be held, at which arson, assassination and destruction of property are upbeld,and the speakers themselves claim , the privilege of freedom of speech if mis chief is the result. Free institutions must protect themselves, and if anar chists are permitted with impunity to preach their doctrines freedom becomes the wildest license. All governments necessarily imply restraint, and the members of every community com promise some of their inherent rights for the benefit of their fellows. " An archy is opposed to obedience to any power and all manner of restraint,and therefore is as dangerous in a republic as in a monarchy. EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Telegran has an editorial against the censorship of the press in Turkey ana uussia. A. copy ot tne paper should be sent to the Uzar and Sultan. and they would perhaps inaugurate a reform in this matter. Sir Charles Bussell, the counsel for Great Britain in the arbitration of the Behring sea controversy now being held in rang, paid a glowing tribute to Hon. James O. Blaine in hia open ing argument . Ihe reputation of a statesman is not confined to his own country. The election yesterday of Oartar B. Harrison mayor of Chicago by a large majority is not evidence that the Re publican party is- losing its hold upon the politics of Illinois, and only em phasizes the fact that the worst ele ments are still supreme in the metrop olis of the state. Mr. Harrison's op- position came from a large class of citizens who were not affiliated with Republicans, and who believed that his defeat wonld insure a purer muni cipal government. In this they were not mistaken, but simply out-voted at the polls. Bishop Kip, of the Episcopal church, died in San Francisco last night. He was born in 1811,' and has been iden tified with Episcopacy on the coast since 1853. As a writer and Christian gentleman his loss is irreparable, and his death will be regretted all over the country. The apotheosis of Richardson, the "hero of Ricer hill," was very brief. Hero worship may be a mania with the American people; but when they find their idols composed of spurious materials the work of the iconoclasts bpfin. and thev are shattered into shapeless rums. The important question before the U. S. senate is that of seating tbe gov ernors appointees, and this will fur nish a precedent for future action. If senators were elected by the popular vote, this problem would not require anv solution by congress, and it is hoped that this plan will be eventually adopted. In a few days the faces of many will be turned towards Chicago, and the world's fair will receive visitors from all portions of the globe. This exposition will bring money from Europe, and should scatter it to dif ferent portions of tbe United States. Of course, the queen city of the lakes will receive the princely share. Richardson, the man who has been arrested for prying up the rail and then attempting to make a hero of himself by warning an approaching train, escaped from the Astoria jail about two months ago where he was held to the grand jury for trying to burn the Liverpool house. Such heroes are made of spurious material If the investigation into Senator Roach's defalcation does not unseat him it will be considered a good omen by those Americans over tbe border, who went there because of discrepan cies in money matters. They will have a friend in tbe higher branch of congress, and should be entitled to some consideration for all their suffer ings during their exile. The returns from Kansas show a sweeping Republican victory, and the short reign of the Populists may be considered at an end. That party at tempted to carry matters with a high band during tbe past winter: but the people have tired of arbitrary rule, and have now returned to their first love. Kansas has too eventful a his tory to Buffer misrule for any length of time. The argument in the Bebring sea controversy was opened yesterday in Paris, and, with the able counsel pre senting the American side of the ques tion, the country miy rest satisfied that its interests will be carefully watched.' Once settled, this subject will create no future trouble, and will be placed beside that of the Oregon boundary dispute never to be re opened by either the United States or Great Britain. The decisions of the courts in refer ence to the Ann Arbor strike make it plain that no organization, during a boycott, can discriminate againBt handling the freight of any particular railroad company while freights on other lines are permitted to be sent to their destination. This ruling is according to the terms of tbe Inter state Commerce act, and will make boycotting much less effective. The commerce of this country demands so tne protection, and. while employes cannot be forced to work fcr any com pany, the limits to which they may in jure its business are somewhat pres cribed. TELEGEAJEIO HEWS. Manning; Down Hard Vang. Nobth Yakima, Wash., April 4 On tbe application ' for a new trial of Tom Hale, convicted on the charge of being implicated in tbe robbery pt tbe Roslyn bank, general surprise was expressed that tbe prosecution permitted bis dis charge,-as well as that of McKenzie. without contest. Hon. A. J. . Soively, representing the Bankers' Association, and E. Wager, prosecuting attorney of Kittitas country, evidently knew what they were about, for tbey quietly sent out posses to scour tbe country, and Sat urday last George McCarty acd two companions, after a bloodless gun play. were arrested in Douglas county aud brought to this city, where tbey are now behind the bars of the city jail. A posse nnder Deputy Sheriff B inks was alto dis patched to Baker City. Or., to arrest Tom and Billy McCarty, brothers ot George, and word was received by wire today that tbe arrests were made, but that afterwards tbe McCartys escaped on their noises and were beaded north, pre sumably tor British Columbia. Two Beriana ncea. Cumberland, Md., April 4 A few minutes alter 6 o'clock tnis evening, a Arc, supposed to be incendiary, was dis covered in a stable in tbe very heart of tne city. Tbe wind was blowing; a gale and tne block was soon- a mass of fUmes, and a wboletale conflagration seemed cer tain. After six boars bard ttruggle tbe Ore was finally gotten under control, having consumed in all 15 places of bosi ness, a boarding; bouse and restaurant and seven dwelling bouses. Wblle tbe tire was at It belgbt, another blaze was star ted by tbe careless dropping of a lighted match in a frame structure in tbe sooth era portion of tbe city. Twelve build ings were completely destroyed before the second fire was subdued. As nearly at can be estimated, tbe total loss will foot up 1250,000. Fire ta Alleghany. PrrrSBUBG, Pa., April 4 The largest fire that has occurred in Alleghany for years broke out soon after 2:30 o'clock this after noon in the warehouse of the Godfrey & Clark Paper Company, on South Canal street Owing to the high gale which was blowing. the fire department was unable to prevent the spread of the flames, which communicated ndly to tbe maltnouse ot tne tberhart Be r Brewing Company, At this juncture Pittsburg was appealed to for aid and re sponded with three companies, but, notwith standing this additional force, tbe fire could not be stayed, and in a short time the large grain elevator of the Eberhardt & Ober Com pany was on fire. . The elevator, which was iron-clad and 180 feet high, burned swiftly inside and scattered the sparks in all direc tions, starting blazes in Cupp & Freckley's lumber yard, Heinz Bros.' picaie laciory, and a number of neighboring dwellings. A Wealthy Klepttmaatlae Si-okact, April 4 A singular case of kleptomania was developed here today by the arrest of Mrs. Thomas Willis, a wealthy Cheney woman TUiting this city. Sbe stole a cloak from one of tbe dry eoods houses, was detected, arrested, and confessed her guilt with tears. Sbe owns a fine house in Cheney, is worth 150,000, and is said to be an old offender. Of ficers bave gone to Cheney to search ber home, it being thought the bouse is filled with stolen goods. TELEGEAPHIC. One Boat oad Waved. San Francisco, April 4 A boat con taining the first mate, 13 men and two ap prentices of the four-masted steel ship King Jama, coal laden, from New-castle, England, for San Francisco, has landed at Point Con ception, on the southern California coast. The coal took fire on March 19. On the 30th an explosion occurred which tore up the deca in all directions, and the ship was soon ablaze. At midnight, seeing the. fire was still increas ing, the crew abandoned their efforts to con trcl the names and took to tbe boats after se curing the best of ther effects. Captain W. Drummond, his son and 15 men occupied one boat, while the first mate and the others look the second boat. April I a gale came up, and after it had spent itself the captain's boat was not in sight. The first mate, William Mdldoon, says that Captain Drummond was very cautious, and be would not carry sail to any great extent, and may be heard from at any hour. After leaving the vessel they put themselves in tow of her till 3 AM. March 31, when it was decided to abandon the ship and make for Point Conception, which was but 200 miles. However, northwest winds seemed to be the best course to follow, and they headed southeast, and on the night of April 2 about 7 o'clock the mate came in sight of the Point Conception light. They let go anchor when within three or four miles ol the point, and decided to wait until day light before attempting to make a landing. About 3 in the morning a three-masted steamer passed going north. The first mate ordered a blue light sent up, the last one they had left, but the steamer paid no attention 10 their signal, although they had to change their course in order to avoid running the boat down. About 5 A, M., while two miles from shore, the steamer Bonita passed going north. AU 01 the sixteen men stood up in the boat, and waved their coats to try to at tract their attention, but to no avail, so they came on to the shore, south of Point Concep tion lighthouse, and landed on the beach, A Pocket or old. Medford, Ore., April 4 Another rich p Qcet-strike has added a new impetus to the excitement already existing in Southern Ore. Tbe latest discovery holds over all previous finds. Riley Hammesley, who has been pros pecting in Josephine county tor more than a year, has just brought in the fruits of his la bor. He has struck a pocket on Jump-Un- Joe creek which contains a large amount of quartz, wmcn win run $100,000 to ine ion. It is a pocket in a two-foot ledge, the extent of which has not yet been determined. From 60 pounds of the quartz he has pounded out $425. Old prospectors here pronounce it the richest rock they have -ever seen. Some active prosi ecting will be done on Jump-Off- Joe creek within the next tew weeks. Cleveland and Merchant O'Donoghue. New York, April 4 President Cleveland has, it is stated, offered Joseph J. O'Donoghue the position of assistant treasurer- of the United States at the subtreasury of this city, but O Donoghue declined it. Some very in teresting correspondence on the subject is said to have passed between the piesident and the coffee merchant, O'Donoghue is said to have taken offense at the offer and the way in which it was made, and, according to report, has written a letter to Cleveland, re minding him in very plain words ot an al leged pledge made last December regarding the collectorsbip ol this port. The Pope Counsels Serlptrns Study. Rome, April 4 Pope Leo bas just com pleted an examination of the question of the study of the Scriptures, bis holiness having dovoted inquiry especially to the diverse opinions of savants on great biblical questions. His holiness will proceed to indite a letter to bishops, requesting them to enjoin upon their nocks a more protonnd study of the Script ures, and a larger place in the schools for the study and critical explanation ot bermeneutics. The pope urges the necessity of keeping in the track of modem progress and discovery. in order to adapt Catholicism to the needs of the day. - A Tamable Old M.ne. Obass Valley, Cal April 1 Tbe board of directors of the Idaho mine met last night, and Edward Coleman resigned as superintendent of tbe mine. He bas been superintendent since .1865. The mine bas produced 11.500,000 in sold and bas paid $4,500,000 in dividends. Eugene Creller, for years tbe amalga mator at tbe mine, was elected superin tendent. Tbe directors declared dividend No. 373, tbe amount being S3 per share. The Revolntlan In Baytl. Cape Haytien, April 4 President. Hip- polyte and his cabinet have determined to meet any uprising of the revolutionists. With his cabinet, the president has encamped at Port de Paex, near this place. The govern ment troops have also been ordered to camp here. They will be sufficiently strong to re pel any force the revolutionary party can mus ter. President Hippolyte has sent a protest to the president of San Domingo against the , action of that republic in aiding the revolu tionists. The BehrlBK Hea Arbltratlaa. Paris, April 4 Tbe Behring sea court of arbitration assembled today. Many Ameri can ladies were among the audience. Sir Charles Russell, of counsel for Great Britain, maved that Campbell fumish the court a copy ofthe report of ir Henry fclliott on the Ueh- ncg sea question. " The motion was support ed by Webster, also ot British counsel, and opposed by Phelps and Carter, of counsel of tne United states, after wnicn tbe court took a recess. The Boalyw Suspects. Baker City, Or., April 5 Tbe Mc Carty brothers, .it is supposed, turned their horses loose about 10 miles from Haines, on tbe lower Powder river, and returned to Haines night before last and are prepared to resist arrest in William McCarty's house. Tbe sheriff and posse tned every means to induce Mrs, .McCar ty to allow some one to search tbe bouae. but failed. Two men were seen in tbe upper story last evening by two passers bv, and tbe omcers are convinced tbey are stilt there. , Pickets were posted and a vigilant watch left all night, and it will not be removed until tbe outlaws are cap tured, dead or alive. Rines, shotguns and piBtols are in tbe ban'da of men on on every corner, and a stranger mignt infer tbat a riot was in progress.' Eck McCarty. a stepson of William, was taken in charge, as be had taken a band in aiding their escape. No one cm tell how tbe affair will end. Blood will sure ly flow, it is said, as tbe McCartys say tbey will not be taken alive. It is repor ted tbat tbe omcers will born the build ing io case ail other efforts fail, but this would be dangerous, as the bouse stands in a block which, if fired, would burn ail tbe business portion. Fred McCarty, tbe 18 vear-old son of William, was arrested at Boise City and will arrive bere in tbe mirning and be lodged with Jflck Mc Carty. The End Sot Yet. Pabis, Tex . April 5 A battle at Ant- crs, or Fort Locke, is now considered in evitable. Last night 40 men left Atoka to ioin the militia, and 40 followed tbem to join Locke. Tbe militia are at uooaiao rs swearing tney win oag ijocae ana an uis men. Locke is at bis fort ready for tbe attack. Jackson, tbe defeated candidate of the national party for governor, ar rived at Antlers tbis morning. Lrcke bad 60 men at tbe depot to escort him to bis fort. It is believed tbat a ngbt will take place before tbe United States troops can' reach Antlers KAETIAL LAW RECOMMENDED. Washington. April 5 Secretary Smith today received a telegram from Indian Agent Bennett, in Which be rec ommends tbat tbe Choctaw nation be placed under martial law. This, be be lieves, is tbe only way in which peace can be maintained. Secretary Smith has as yet taken no action on this recom mendation. A reaaUar Saiclde ta Seattle. SRATTX.E, Wash., April 5 Robert F. Hicbman, a lad of 17. was found dead in the woods io tbe extreme northwest ern corner of the city today. In his pocket was a letter hastily scrawled on a sheet of brown paper, which indicated that he had commuted suicide, although there are no marks ot violence on .bis person and nothing could be found to show that be bad taken poison. He was employed iu the Vulcan iron work-, and left Tuesday to go to Tacoma to collect tome moey. His sister, with whom be made bis home, says be was not melan choly, but tne letter snows be was ot a morbid temperament. After saying be intended ending bis life, be wrote: "This is not tbe freak of an idle and foolish mind, but the result of years of Buffering, pain and misery; tbe conclu ion of a life that had no pleasure in it, tbe result of a wild, wiltul aud wayward disposition, kept in close confinement by tbe rules of honor and social laws. Bat now I am free from tbe torturing thought and contemptous looks that are cast on me by those who know of my dissipated and morbid career." lie then goes on with an address to his soul, which be declares will go to meet the punishment it richly deserves and says: "You, my sou, can go on the course the great chief has designated and meet tbe tate it so richly deserves. I have al ways been unfortunate and I alwaya was in the wrong. I can never remember a day that there wasn't some dark cloud banging over me ready to burst and pour forth a volume ot disgrace and abuse. I have committed mnoy crimes against the laws of God, man and natnre. I bave turned away from tbem in disgust, only to return again at the next temptation and install myself in the opinion of my friends and companions as a base, heart less wretcb, capable neither of love nor honesty. And, therclore, I was shunned by all. But there was one who did not desert me, and who understood me as well as I did myself; to whom I could go for advice and comfort ; to whom I bad confessed all my misdeeds and shortcom ings. But now be, too, bas passed over tbe dark moat Into tbe future whence cone comes again. I can only follow in bis wake, as there is no hope, no prospect of anything but misery, sin and disgrace for me, 'so forward I go to meet the judg ment that long ago has been confirmed and earned." He closes by begging all who bear of bis lot to treat young men with kindness He bad a comfortable borne and was bis own master, -and his relatives say be had no known cause for ending hi life. Betrayed and Shot Mrgan8FIELD. Ky.. April 5 Mies Abbie Oliver, a beautiful young lady of S'.urgis, Uoion county, was led astray eight months ago. Last night the mother of tbe girl entered the place of business of Henry Delaney, a drag clerk, and ac cased him of being responsible for tbe girl's condition . At tbe point of a pis tol she compelled biro to enter a carriage with ber husband and daughter. They drove 15 miles to Morganfield, procured a license snd compelled him to marry the girl.
