The Philadelphia and Champ
ion's Queer Maneuvers:
CHARGES AGAINST EZETA.
A CattlJ Man Lynched at Lake
View By a Mob of Indignant
Citizens.
.: i
I 2.
Associated Press.
San Francisco, August 22. The Unit
ed States ship Philadelphia arrived' to
day from Honolulu, bringing the fol
lowing letter:
"Honolulu, August 12. Several days
ago It was announced that the Phila
delphia was to leave here, and about
the same time, the captain of the
British ship Champion sold that . his
ship would leave in two weeks for a
cruise, ostensibly to look over the route
proposed by the Pacific cable. The day
after the above events a petition was
circulated by the British residents ask
ing thali the Champion remain, as they
claimed to be ill fear of having no pro
tection In the event of trouble.
The Champion's commander agreed
to stay, and Admiral Walker at once
announced his Intention of doing the
same thing. The sudden change In the
nliirm of the vessels has caused a great
deal of comment. The Koyalists claim'
that had the Philadelphia left there
would have been an uprising at once.
The other side claims to want the Phil
adelphia, to go, that it may show the
Koyalists it is not afraid of them.
Their wish was attained by word re
ceived yesterday, ordering the Philadel
phia to proceed ati once home. War
between Japan and China is having an
effect here. Reports were received of
a fight between t'he Chinese and Jap
anese, and serious trouble is feared
from some of the large plantations.
KZETA STILL FLOATS.
Navy Officers Refuse to Assist the U.
S. Marshal.
Srfin Francisco. August 22. The sin
gular International complication in
volving the liberty of General Antonio
Ezeta and his fellow-refugees, which
has been so prolific of opera bouffe sen
sations, developed a new tangle of con
flicting authority today. Warrants
were tlnalry issued for the arrest of the
refugees, but the local federal authori
ties became tangled up In government
red tape, and the warrants could nol
hp served. United States Marshal Bald
win, armed with the authority of the
federal courts, set out to have the refu
gees brought within the authority or
the law, but he ran up against Captain
Howison, the naval officer who com
mands at Mare Island navy yard. Capt.
Howison declared that he had no
authority to furnish transportation to
the marshal, and he refused to place
that officer on board the Bennington.
Without the assistance of the navy de
partment the marshal could not reach
the gunboat. It Is probable the matter
will be settled tomorrow.
THE BAVARIA HOP YIELD.
The Bill Ratifying the Nez Perce In
dian Treaty a Law.
Washington, August 22. United
States Consul Stein, at Hamburg, states
that If nothing unforseen arises the
hop harvest In Bavaria will prove
equal to the yield of the most favorable
hop years.
United States Consul General Jonas
at St. Petersburg states that the early
completion of the Siberian railroad Is
likely to have a depressing effect upon
the prices of grain throughout the
world.
The bill ratifying tho Nez Perce In
dian treaty Is now a law, and carries
S1.CCS.622. $0G8,G22 to be paid as soon as
the department can arrange the neces
sary details. The land will be opened
for settlement by proclamation of the
president in ample time. The agricul
tural land will be sold at 13.75 per acre,
and mineral and stone lands at $5 per
acre.
MURDER WILL OUT.
North Yakima. August 22. Two
months ago N. S. Bagwell, better known
as "Tex" Bagwell, a gambler of more
than local repute, was shot in the back
and killed while going home at night.
Robbery was not the purpose, as he
had money and . diamonds valued at
seven! hundred dollars on his person
when found. The coroner's Inquest de.
veloped nothing more than suspicion
arid no arrests were made until the
prcaent time. Now there are In the
county Jail five prisoners who ere
charged with being accessories. Includ
ing a woman who claims to be Mrs.'
BP.gwolL and who Is said to have In-'
cited a man named Harvey to commit
the- crime. Harvey is now Being
trought here from Walla Walla.
CAUSED BY SPECULATORS.
New York, August 22, The drift of
opinion on Wall Street is that up to
the present time the demand for Bllver
has come from speculators. They pro
fess to know that there Is no direct
buying for China, and say in making
prices they entirely follow the London
market One prominent bullion broker
said the rise was probably assisted by
the introduction In the house yesterday
by Johnson, of North Dakota, of a bill
for the unlimited coinage of silver. At
the New York, agericy of the Hong
Kpng and Shanghai Banking Corpora
tion, it was said that the recent loan
of 10,000,000 taels was cquul to $700,000
Of 'our money if It was a silver loan,
but If a large war loan was Issued,
It Is likely to be In gold, and therefore
thj Chinese loan should not be neces
sarily tho result of advancing the prices
of silver.
QUICK JUSTICE.
Lake View Citizens Lynch a Man to the
Court House Steps.
Klamath Falls, Or., August 22. Word
was received from Lukevlew, Oregon,
that last Monday night a mob of mask
ed men surrounded the county Jail and
compelled Clly Marshal Heinmeyer,
who is acting as Jailer, to hand over
the key of the Jail. The mob entered
the Jail and brought out a prisoner
named W. S. Thompson and hanged
him oh the court house Bteps. Thomp
son was confined In Jail on a charge
of assault with a dangerous weapon.
Ho was a resident of Warner Valley
where ho had a host, of enemies who
allege that Thompson did as he pleased,
killing horses and cattle and abusing
people.' At one time he was charged
with almost having -caused the death
cf his wife and child. The coroner's
Jury returned a verdict that Thomp
son came to his dea-th by strangulation
by unknown hands.

Receipts From Internal Rev
enue Sources Increasing.
THE PRESIDENT IS BACK.
The Nomination of Majors in Repub
lican Convention at Oma'ia
Causes a Scene.
Associated Press.
Washington, August 18. The receiptB
from the Internal revenue sources con
tinue to be abnormally large with every
prospect of continuing so till the new
tariff bill goes Into effect. During the
last seven days from August 20th, the
receipts reachad the . unprecedented
sum of $11,000,122, and it Is confidently
expected that by next Saturday at
midnight, when the new act will be
come operative, the aggregate receipts
for the preceding ten days will have
reached $15,000,000. These large re
ceipts under the circumstances are de
precated by tho treasury officials. The
reason for this Is that the nld coming
to the treasury this way Is only tem
porary at best, and will add to the
deficit Inter on, for every gallon of
whisky now being withdrawn, the gov
ernment, sooner or lator. Is bound to
looo 20 cents.
As soon as the tariff bill goes into
operation the receipts from this source
are expected to drop to merely a nom
inal amount, and so continue for some
months until the new supply Is ex
hausted. This abnormal receipts hnvp
swelled the cash balance In the treas
ury to nearly $121,000,000. At the same
time the gold reserve Is Increasing till
it hns reached about $54,000,000. This
Increase la due aim wt entirely to the
western demand for small notes with
which to harvest the crot.
Far tho present, at least, tho em
barrassments which have threatened
the treasury have passed.
ALTGELD IS WRONO. t'
Judge Cooley's Oplnlona Bfir.. tho
American Bj;at Saratoga. "
Siratogn, August 22. The addrfws
of Judge Thomas Cooleyy. president of;
the American Bar Association, was
read by Judge Hc.nt at a meeting today,
Cooley condemned the Coxey move
ment as antagonistic to the existing
political and social state of sympathetic
strikes. Ho pronounced It bad In mor
als and Impossible to be settled in ar
bitration. Governor Altgeld's conten
tion that tho president could not send
troops Into Illinois to ehforce the fed
eral laws he declared as wholly- In
correct. ,
Alluding to the recent railroad trou
ble, he said:, "A sympathetic strike Is
bad In morals, and must be quite uu
bad In policy when the probable Injury
to Innocent parties will exceed, the
probable benefit to the parties It alms
to assist." Referring to tho state nnd
federal rights and the protest of Gov
ernor Altgeld, he says: "The position
of the governor that the maintenance
of peace and suppression of disorder
was a state affair, and that the pres
ident was guilty of usurpation when
he thus without request ordered the
troops Into that state for a purpose,
we cannot admit the position taken is
plausible. It has no warrant whatever
In the federal constitution, which is on
the contrary distinctly against It. The
president is to take care that the fed
eral laws are faithfully executed, and
his doing so la not made to depend
upon the will or consent of any ono."
Of arbitration ha says: ''Th') sympa
thetic strikes can never bo settled by
arbitration. Parties to the strike are
not parties to the controversy that
needs to be settled, and If the sympa
thizers are held and Justified, the or
lslnal quarrel remains undetermined.
A finding made by a given number of
arbitrators as to tho mwlts of the orig
inal r. nir.rveruy In kik-Ii unei would l e
an Idle culmination of opinion, having
behind it no force of law, and going no
further to fix the frail objection on any
party concerned than would like expres
sion by any other equal number of
equally Intelligent members of the com
munity." DEATH SENTENCE SET ASIDE,
Noi-th Yakima, August 22. The death

Committee-man.
Omaha, August 22. The largest Re
publican convention ever held In Ne
braska mot today. Ileut-Gov. T. J. ,
Majors was nominated for governor.
In Omaha there will be an anti-monopoly
element of the party who will fight
Majors. .
A letter from Edward Rosewater,
of the Omaha Bee , was read to
tho convention. Ha explained he waa
too loyal a Republican to support Ma
jors. Continuing he said:
"The action of our convention com
pels me to tender my resignation as
a national committee-man. You have
made a nomination for governor of a
man who ! branded as an accessory
to forgery and perjury by the Repub
lican congressional committee, of which
TI103. B. Reed was chairman, n nwn
who stands self-convicted of fnjalfylng
the official records and procuring the
issue of a fraudulent voucher while act
ing In the capacity of president of the
stute senate; a man who has consorted
with boodlers and Jobbers; a man who
is tho pliant tool for railroads and
whose nomination was procured by tho
influence of corporate cappers, profes
sional bribers, jury fixers, and impeach
ed slate officials.
"Believing It my sacred duty to up
hold the standard of true Republican
lam at any sacrifice, I desire til. be
freed from nil restraint which might' .
be Imposed upon me by remaining on
the national committee.'1 1
The resignation waa accepted, and
Hon. John M. Thurston elected to till
the vacancy.
'The party declares that "tho pnrty
In Nebraska has always leen tho 'con
sistent friend -and aggressive champion
of honest money, and it now takes no
map backward. While favoring bi
metallism and demanding the use of
both gold and silver as a standard
moircy, the convention Insists that the
parity of value of the two metals be
maintained so that every dollar of
paper or coin Issued by the government
shall be as good as any other."
