Jail and Taking Them Out Huns; Them to a free, Ellensburg, Wash., August 15. At 12 o'clock last right the fire bell rang , and a crowd oongregated at the county jail inside of three minutes..- The pat tering on the steel cage for an hour and a half resounded on the still night air, and at 1:80 Sam Vinson and his son Charles, the murderers of Sunday, were led out by a mob. - With ropes around their necks, the victims were , walked three blooks, and a small silver poplar tree, eight inches in diameter, was chosen. Kopes were thrown over : the first limbs, and the father and son were hauled . -up ; by many .willing hands. Their feet were not over a foot from the ground,-. and the two men were choked to death, with their faces within six inches of each other. . After the death of Dutch John yes - terday afternoon, an uneasy feeling be gan to manifest itself, and as evening came on, it grew in intensity. At 9:30, when the street is usually deserted, knots of men could be seen all over the town, and there was apparently trou ble coming. Sheriff Stitson was very active, and had exrta deputies on duty at the jail. He had arrangements made so that the ringing of the fire bell should be a signal that the mob was under way., . , . . Promptly at 12 the bell rang, and almost simultaneously the guards were overpowered, and the outer jail doors soon passed. The steel cage was stub born, but the mob was determined. After the wretohes were seoured, they assumed dogged silenoe. The old man never spoke, but Charles pulled back and struggled some. Both men were hustled along, however, and ' several telegraph poles were tried without suc ceeding in finding a suitable place. When near the fatal tree, young Vin son spoke his only words, saying: "I hate it on my mother's acoount You'll be sorry for this." The last word was uttered as the tightening of the rope choked off his breath. The father was strung np a moment before his son, and some one in the orowd said, as Charles was swung up: "Your pa is up there; go up and see him." " , Both men were allowed to hang for some time, and the orowd slowly dis persed without firing any shots into the bodies. There were six other pris : oners in the jail, but none were molest ed, and nobody but the two murderers were hurt during the proceedings. Charles Vinson, who gave away the trainrobbers in the Northern Pacifio holdup last April, with his father was drunk and raising disturbances all day Sunday. That evening about 6:45 they entered the Teutonia' saloon and picked a quarrel, during whioh Charles . shot Mike Kohlopp, one of the propri etors. The ball entered his right breast, and the victim died half an. hour later. - ' V.V John Bergman, well-known as "Dutch John,'' went to the defense of . Kohlopp, when the elder Vinson stab bed him in the right breast, inflicting a horrible wound, whioh proved fatal yesterday. 'After Kohlopp was shot he grappled young Vinson, threw him to the floor and dealt him several blows, but was forced to desist by failing strength. . ,' Both men were immediately arrested and put in the steel cage in the county jail. Excitement ran high, but the . offloials took extra precautions about the jail. The Vinsons were regarded as worth less, Charles having served, one term in the penitentiary. Both were quarrel some, and always went armed and ready to pick a fight THE JAPANESE CRISIS. The Report a Surprise to the Legation In Washington. Washington, August 15. No in formation has been received at the Jap anese legation in confirmation or de nial of the report that a cabinet crisis exists in Japan, though the legation would not necessarily be informed of suoh an occurrence until the formation of a new ministry. The report of dis- soluton was, however, a surprise to the members of the legation, and ' oansed great interest - While accustomed to look at Counts Ito and Yamagata as almost permanent parts of . the Japan ese government, they admit that there has been dissatisfaction expressed among the opposition politicians con cerning the reoession from the terms of the original treaty, and it is pur mised that any cabinet changes will be due to this oritioism. They ; think, however, a ohange on this account is improbable, as in Japan the ministry is in the creation of the emperor, and its continuanoe in office is in nowise dependent on popular approval, except so far as the ministers may personally be ' influenced ; by it. Furthermore, they find it difficult to realze that there should be any misunderstanding on the question of rank. Both Ito and Yamamgata are counts. The . former holds the highest decoration within the gift of the emperor, and the latter is a marshal of the empire. . It is not un derstood why men whose names have been so highly honored should make trouble over the question of the confer- ing of an honor which would be only a Blight advance over their present posi tions. No one at the legation will venture an opinion as to who might suoceed Count Ito as prime minister in case of his permanent retirement A Rupture Averted. New York, August 15. A speoial to the World from Tokio says: By - im perial command, Count Ito, the prime minister, has resumed his duties. He accepts elevation to the title of mar quis, offered him by the emperor.' A rupture is thus averted, but the per sonal relations of oertain members re strained. '," :l !..:.':'.'.'.' A WHITECAP CARNIVAL.; The Persecution of Colored People In a ;, '; ' Texas County. ' Paris, Tex. ,' August 15. An old ne gro; ..woman named "Stephens arrived here yesterday from Delta county, where the whitecaps ae alleged to be holding carnival. She states that .on Saturday morning her son was called to the door about . 4 o'olock and shot down by the whitecaps. The ten days' notice given , him had just ex pired, and he was prevented from flee ing with the wholesale exodus of ne groes from that section on account of his crops, and his home, whioh was plaoed in jeopardy. He had a wife and two ohildren. v.The whitecap no tices were posted about his house. , His brother fled when he first received notice. An afternoon paper published the following appeal from the negroes: "To the Citizens of - Lamar County: We, the oolored people of Delta -ooun-ty, are the poorest and most worthless people in the state of Texas and we ' do not want any trouble with anybody. We ask the white people to protect us, and when we do wrong to do with us as the laws demand, and we will be satisfied. So please help us to stop the whitecaps. We are not guilty of the least crime in Delta county, so please come to our reiier and we wm be under lasting obligations to you. At present ' we are unable to go any where." - i The reports from Delta county are conflicting. ; A merohant from that vi cinity states that so far as he has any knowledge there as been no negro shot by the whitecaps. Waller's Case Not Dropped. Paris, August 15. There is abso , lutely nothing in the sensational story circulated by a New York newspaper to the effect that United States Am bassador Eustis has dropped the case of John L. Waller, formerly United States consul at Tamatava, island of Madagascar, recently sentenced to a period of twenty years' imprisonment by a court-martial. On' the contrary, Eustis is pursuing the matter most en ergetically and hopes soon to arrive at a satisfactory result ' ; 'v , 1 : ' ' Rioting- Italians. Pittsburg, Pa., August 15.

Cherokee claimant inhabitants are gathering here for a meeting to take action to seoure full legal rights in the nation. They claim that the Cherokee nation has long refused to give justice to them as provided by past treaties, and they propose to appeal to congress and the oourts for redress. THE TREASURY'S LOSS Large Withdrawals ot Gold for Shipment Abroad. TALK OF ANOTHER BOND SALE It Is Not Thought, However, That This ; . Will Be Countenanced by Either Cleveland or Carlisle. ' Washington, August 14. The treas- ury today lost 11,660,000 in gold for export to Europe, leaving the reserve only about f 1, 800,000 above the $100, 000,000 point The telegram whioh announoed the withdrawal reached the department just as it was closing at 4 o'clock, and gave no information as to the name of the exporter or the exact destination of the shipment. Mr. Cur tis, the aoting secretary, said be had no specifio information and could not say whether - the syndicate would al low the $100,000,000 to be enoroaohed upon or not. None Of the other officials would talk in the absence of Secretary Carlisle. ' ' This heavy withdrawal has given rise to a report that another bond issue is impending, but there is now no one in Washington who can speak authori tatively on the subject, or who has in formation not shared by the public. The best opinion is that the syndicate will not allow the reserve to be en croached upon until after October 1, when, as generally understood, . their obligation oeases. : But even in the event of still further withdrawals, it is believed that President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle would see the reserve reach a point below any that it has yet - touched before they would take any steps to reooup it by another sale of bonds or purchase of gold. It is argued that the meeting of con gress is only fourteen weeks off, and that without any reasonable doubt, the treasury, with an available cash balance of nearly $184,000,000, and the revenues slightly increasing, can meet its obligations and have a comfortable balance at the end of the calendar year. The best judgment obtainable here is that there will be no bond issue or extra session of congress, except in the event of oontinued heavy withdrawals, which are not looked for. The archives of the state department have been searched to see if there was anything in the claim put forth that the United States, as the oonquerer of the Confederate states, had any claim to the island of Trinidade. , Nothing of thii kind could be found, and it is not believed at the department that there is anything in the claim. An official of the department, who has been looking into the matter, says there is little doubt that the island belongs to Brazil. It is expected that several changes will be made in the stations of the officers of the pay corps. Some of the officers have served long in the present stations, and ' various . , reasons for changes have been given. It is ex pected that Colonel Glenn, how at St. Paul, will go to New York; Colonel Card, now at New York, to Denver; Colonel Canby, now at Denver, to Portland, Or.; Major ; MoCrea, now at Portland, to San Francisco; and Major Bates, now at San Francisco, to St. Paul. ' v ..'.'i.,...;; - General Vincent today received the following telegram from General Cop pinger, dated Jackson's Hole, August 11, it having been forwarded 125 miles by courier: ' . -' "Colonel Randall, with Lieutenant Hamilton and a soouting party, picked up Lemhi Pete and a party of seven teen Jndians, all told, male and fe male, with sixty ponies, hunting peace fully in the Teton mountains. He started them home for the Lemhi reser vation. I have Nemits, the wounded Bannock, safely in camp. The soout ing party is in from the north. All is quiet" ' . ' " " ' The aoting secretary of "the . interior has approved an agreement with the Southern Ute Indians of Colorado, whereby the majority of them will take lands in severalty, and the rest will be settled on the western third of the -,- present reservation. After the severalty allotments have been made, the lands remaining will be thrown open to settlement , The reservation contains over 1,000,000 acres, and much of it is arid and broken. .Telegraph Line Leased. Minneapolis, August 15. The North American Telegraph Company, the Northwestern ally of the Postal, has leased the line of the Soo Telegraph Company, extending along the Soo railway and connecting with the Cana dian Paoifio lines. This gives a North American entrance into Winnipeg and brings it other advantages. , : Advance in English Woolens. San Francisco,' August ,15. An evening paper says that the wearers of Enlgish woolen goods will hereafter pay higher prices for their garments. This is particularly so of mohair and alpaoa goods, the increased value of which at the faotories is from 70 to 80 per cent. The increased selling rate has been followed by an inorease in ad valorem duties. . THE NEW MILITARY POST. Rivalry of Washington Cities May Pre vent the Location of Any. Washington, August 14. Since Secretary La'mont returned from the West, both Senator Squire and Repre sentative , Doolittle have been to see him several times and urge the estab- lishment of a military post on Puget sound, as provided for in the last sun dry oivil appropriation bill. s Of course, the senator has the interest of Seattle at heart and the represenative has been legging for his town of Taooma. Both have presented arguments to show what an advantage it would be to have the post looated upon the particular tracts near their cities, which have been selected in case the secretary should decide to act. ' r General Sohofleld, on his Western trip, did make an examination . of the respective merits of the two places for a military post, and there is no deny ing that he is very favorably impressed with the site which will be offered by Tacoma. There are persons who say that the post should be farther down the Sound and that Seattle being farther down the Sound the post should be lo cated there; also, that it should be nearer the naval station than it would be at Tacoma. The answer to the first of these suggestions is that if the post would be any better down the Sound it should be located at Port Townsend, beoause that it still farther away. To the other proposition the reply is given that with the naval station on the op posite side of the Sound the post might as well be at Taooma as at Seattle for all the protection that would be ' ren ered, and if that view of the case is to be taken the post might just as well be established adjoining the naval station. It seems that the location offered by Taooma has greatly pleased General Sohofleld; and if the secreatry calls on him for an opinion he may recommend Tacoma. ' r. ' j ; The seoretary, however, is not likoly to ask for an opinion. . The corre spondent asked him about this post and the proposed Spokane military post the other day, and his reply indioated pret ty clearly his intentions. He replied: What will we do ' with two more posts in Washington? :'. The fact is we have plenty of posts and not enough soldiers to put in them. We have been abandoning posts from time to time and still we have more than we need or can occupy with the troops that are to be stationed in them. Besides there is no money to build or equip these posts even, if they should be estab lished. There does not seem to be any pressing need for military posts at present" : : . .", This bears out what was said in these dispatches several months ago, that Secretary Lamont did not intend to establish these posts, though it is possible that he may take some action in regard to Spokane. i It is probable that he really believes it would be good policy to have a post at Spokane, but the secretary realizes that if he estab lishes the Spokane post and does not establish the post on the Sound, that he will offend both Squire and Doolit tle, and he has no desire to do that; bo he will probably allow his term as seo retary of war to end without taking any action. It is thus possible that the rivalry of the three Washington towns will prevent the establishment of a military post in Washington, as it has in the past, and it may in the future prevent the erection of a public building at some of the places, or at least one of the towns in the state. 1 A STRIKE THREATENED. Garment-Makers of New York Prepar ing to Go Out. . New York, August 15. The East Side is threatened with another strike. The strike of the brotherhood of tailors has aioused the vest-makers.cloak-mak- ers, the childrens' jacket-makers and the shirt-makers, and they have been talking strike against the contractors' associations. The bosses associations have failed to sign their agreements. They ask for nothing new, and are the same that were in foroe laBt year, but the bosses are opposed to the sys tem of running shops under union rules. ' The jacket-makers are prepared to oall out their combined membership of 5,000 persons on short notice. The pantaloon-makers will hold a mass meeting to decide upon a strike. The oloak-makers expect to order the rest of their big strike some time this week and the vest-makers to the number of 600 are dissatisfied. There are 8,000 shirt-makers organized.;: They also are talking strike.

Five hundred orates of musk-melons were dumped into the bay today by dealers, who, rather than sell the fruit at a low price, destroyed it Heavy shipments from along the Sacramento river . dur ing the past iew days have caused the price of fruits, particularly melons, to fall. Today melons at 10 cents a orate went begging for purchasers. THE BURNING FORESTS Settlers About Summit Now Fear Heavy Winds. MUCH TIMBER LAID TO WASTE Damage at Summit Very Great, Every ' thing Going Up in Smoke Fzcept -' . ;. the Mill and Dryhouse. ' Olympia, Wash., August '18. A press representative has just returned from the burned district near Summit, west of here,. Muob timber is laid to waste, but unless heavy winds spring up the settlers feel confident that the worst is over. In the logging camps of Mason county the men are still guarding against dying embers, while others : are ' rebuilding burned-out camps. The big fire has reached about twelve miles from . here, ; - where the flames have full play and are raging all the way to Elma, over large terri tory on both sides of the road. Several ranohes are in danger and the ooou pants are using every means in their power for protection from the flames. In most cases they are fighting the fire with fire, and many of them have bur ied their valuables, clothing, etc, in order to save them in , case they are obliged to flee. Several shingle mills are in imminent danger, the only hope of salavtion being that the wind will not spring up before ram sets in. . The residents of Summit, a small settlement supported by the shingle industry, have had a most exciting ex perience. They say the flames came upon them with the speed of a race horse, and in a bewildering whirl of blazing bark, limbs and leaves, all houses, with the exception of the mill and dryhouse dissappeared. The men were focred into the mill to escape the fierce heat, and had the mill taken fire, they all would , have been cremated. They could not : live out from cover. One man tried to save his household effects and stayed by - the fire until others had sought shelter. - He finally started to retreat, but fell between the house and the milL Several men rush ed out and dragged . him ' inside. Houses were burned to the ground be fore the men could dig trenches to bury clothing and personal effects. v. . The loss of the fine timber is indefi nite and many large bodies of .. school lands, belonging to the state are burned over. i JUROR , BROWN EXCUSED. Contempt Proceedings A gainst San Francisco Newspapers Dismissed. San Francisco, August 14. Today's proceedings in the case of Theodore Durrant, charged with the murder of Blanche Lamont, did not complete the jury. The morning session passed' without the addition of a single juror. In fact, the number of accepted jurors was reduced from nine to eight, for the court excused Juror Brown. In a long opinion, Judge Murphy said that he would allow the district attorney to challenge Brown, because the prosecu tion had not known that Brown voted to acquit M. D. Howell of the charge of counterfeiting in the United States district court beoause the evidence was circumstantial. . The district attorney interposed a peremptory ohallenge to Brown, and the court allowed it 'The defense took an exoeption and moved to dismiss the case, a motion whioh was promptly denied. ' . ' The court then took np the defend ant's motion for oontempt proceedings against the newspapers which had pub lished matter connected with Juror Brown, and had interviewed him re garding his availability as a juror. The court made an address to the press, stating that the publication of any ar ticles tending to destroy the defend ant's chances for receiving a fair trial was contempt, and warning newspa permen of the .necessity for conserva tive treatment of this and similar oases. He declined then to act upon the news paper citations issued at the request of the defendant ,. The oounsel tried to insist upon the contempt actions being pressed, and urged the court to make a judioial order defining the matter the newspapers might publish regarding the trial, but the judge declined fur ther action in the matter. The Asylum Tragedy. ' ' Chicago, August 18. Superintend ent Morgan, of the Cook oonnty asy lum for the insane, said today that he had seoured considerable new evidence regarding the killing of George Puoik, Friday, and that it pointed, strongly to the equal guilt of Attendants - Ander-1 son and Gough. ; The superintendent refused to make known what the evi dence was, saying that if it became publio at this time it might have the effect of quieting persons expected to give . further evidence. Morgan said he proposed to leave np stone unturned to convict Anderson and Gough, if sufficient evidence could be seoured for that purpose- Dr. McGrew, the hospital physician,' says that this is not the first time they have been guilty of gross cruelty to patients. He says that he has reported to the offloials, but that political influence has always prevented their discharge, v TO PEOPLE THE DESERT. Immense Scheme of a Number of East- -" ' ern Capitalists. ... San Francisco, August 18. The Ex-, aminer says a number of Eastern .capi talists are in this city hard at work on a scheme, which, if carried out, means the revolution of the fruit industry of the country, and perhaps a business -boom such as the state has never seen. The soheme is nothinsg less than the reclamation of the" Colorado desert by turning the waters of the Colorado 1 river over it - But that is only part of : the great scheme. The company has a grant of 1,500,000 acres in . Mexioo. Biythe's famous principality lies on the western edge', and it is proposed to take part of the waters of the Colorado river onto that immense territory too. -As outlined, the plan comprehends the development of the greatest irriga tion system in the two Amerioas and in the end cheap fruit ; . v .The promoters evidently mean busi- ness, for hey have just handed the Southern Pacific Company , a check for - $1,500,000 in return f or, .itsjitle to the , alternate sections of land in the Salton basin. The land turned over . foots up something like 45,000 acres. The pur chase was decided on as the best meth od of forever settling any question that might arise over titles. . Principally, Eastern capital - is be hind the soheme. ' John C. Beatty,who has handled more land in the South-' West than any two men on the conti- nent, is the - general . manager of the scheme. He got the idea some years ago by watohing the efforts of Million- , aire Blythe to colonize his big Mexioan grants. ' Interested with Beatty in the enterprise are such men ad James Lin ton and Henry A.' Pierce, of Provi dence, R. I., and P. McLean, of New York, , . :: ; ..' The scheme was started . some ten - years ago and constant hard work dur ing all that time has simply brought it to the present stage, where the prelim inary work of turning the soil for the canal has only just beguu. Over $50, 000 were spent in surveys before the promoters were assured " they could oarry out the irrigation system con- - tem plated.- Then a hard, battle had to be fought in congress . to capture cer--; tain government lands whioh were ab- solutely essential to the success of the plan. Agreements had to be made with Mexico and big corporations that held certain rights on ' the American side. All those obstaoles have been cleared away and now laborers are to work on the canal. If all goes well the water - will be running in it before the end of next year. . . ; ' . ' - The oompany has figured that with- in a few years it : will ; have at least . .-. 800,000 farmers on the land. This would mean the' handling of an im mense volume of increased business for that section of the state. The company is on the eve of sending agents through all the Eastern states with a view to inducing colonists to come out. ' t Colonizing the irrigable land in ten- . acre patches or more does not end the scheme by "any , means. : A system of stores will be opened through the val ley and goods Will be sold to the col onists at a figure barely above cost rates. .' "" ANOTHER DRY SUNDAY. No New Nor Interesting Features De- ' ' veloped in New York. V New York August 18. Many new and interesting features in the fight of the saloon-keepers against the police, whioh were promised last Sunday, did not materalize and the day simply fell in line with other Sundays whioh have intervened since ', the , reform polioe board took hold of the municipal ad ministration. It was a pretty dry day, but a shade pleasanter', for the thirsty, who have learned the scheme, seoured drinks from an apparently closed sa loon.. For the stranger and the unin- -itiated the day was as dry . as any of the past half dozen Sundays. . Few of the' dealers took advantage of the privilege of keeping their places open which has lately been deoided as legal, provided liquors are not given away or sold. - The most notable in stance was that of Steve Brodie, ' who had no end of trouble in carrying on a charitable enterprise in his saloon. Brodie was giving away lemonade and taking a collection for a free ice fund, when the police arrested him for break ing the Sabbath law, but was promptly discharged by . . Magistrate .. Cornell. Afterwards he was arrested twiue, but each time was released and resumed business. ' ' ' ' : '. ' The Canadian School Question. Winnipeg, .
