Old Whipple, the Maine lumber man, who paid $10,000 for a gold brick, says: ''Perhaps if I had read less of Talmage's sermons and more of the crimes going the rounds I should have been a less easv victim." It is now said that the insignifi cant mortality of the Japanese in battle during tne recent war was partly due to their wearing a quan tity of noss silk under their outer clothing as a protection against the cold. It is said to have acted in many cases as a bullet-proof shield. O Judge Thompsox, of the Grand Island district, has declared uncon stitutional the law enacted bv the last legislature relative to what con stitutes a legal newspaper, upon the ground that the above bill did not clearly express in its title the nature of the changes which were to be made in our statutes upon this sub ject; and the act did not contain the sections intended to be repealed. This statute was one of the pet measures of our own and only Bill Akera, and should the supreme court sustain the decision of the district judge it will be another blow at this individual's record as a statesman. They have taken to lynching criminals in Illinois on the ground that if the latter are left to the law and are tried and convicted, the an archist Governor Altgeld will par don them out. The season is not sufficient, of course. But so far as it goes it is entirely true and valid; Tt is difficult to imagine a convict too vile and impenitent to receive Altgeld's "clemency." Illinois is to-day a sort of thug's paradise. That is the price the state has to pay for the privilege of having a democratic-socialist-anarchist crank for its goyernor. New York Tribune. Death of "W- Q. Gresham. Walter Q. Gresham, secretary of state, died at his rooms in a Washington hotel at 1:15 o'clock Tuesdav morning of the formation of a gall stone in the bladder, united with a pleuritic attack a few hours after his first illness. The deceased was born in Harrison couuty, Indi ana, in 1832, on March 17th. After a successful career in state politics until the breaking out of the war, he was appointed colonel of the Thirty-eight Indiana and in Decem ber, 1861, "was given comand of the Fifty-third Indiana. From that time until August 11th, 1803, with his regiment he followed the for tunes of Gen. Grant's army in the valley of the Mississippi. At the last named date he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general, and placed in command of the post at Natchez. The following spring he was placed in command of a divi sion of the Army of the Teunessee to take part in the campaign against Atlanta. At Leggett's Hill, on July 20, 1864, while under a storm of bullets, he was wounded in the knee so severely that he was dis abled for a year, which prevented him from participating in future military service. March a 5, 1865, he was breyetted major general for bravery before Atlauta. In 1869, President Grant invited him to be- TT . - . come United btates district judge for Indiana, which position he main tained with credit and ability tor nearly thirteen years. It was while serving the people in this capacity that he won his greatest esteem of the creat masses of the plain people. In April, 1882, upon the death of his predecessor, he was ad vanced by President Artbur to the the position of postmaster general. While serving m this capsicitv it "Was most largely due to his efforts that the crusade against the Louis- mna lotterv was becun. wnicn re- more satisfactory to his friends. Being able as he was to trace his ancestry directly to Revolutionary stock there is but little room for the belief other than that had he been allowed, his own course we would have experienced a thorough ly American administration of his office. Hampered as he was, yet he secured a recognition of the United States notably in three incidents during his latest career, viz: the San Domingo, Bluefields and Cuban. Peace to his ashes. The democratic sound money convention will have a great in fluence all over the country and in the south especially. And of similar importance is the declaration .of the Oregon league of republican clubs in favor of sound money, as it conies from a Pacific state, supposed to be for the free silver error. About 1000 delegates were present at the Portland convention to elect a delegation to the national conven tion at Cleveland, and a resolution was offered to demaud a free silver resolution at Cleveland, but it was tabled "with great enthusiasm." The silvmtes who always claim the west as their own, will be somewhat disappointed. Grand Island Independent. REPORTS ARE MEAGER Sinking of the Colima Is Confirmed, But Fate of Passengers Unknown.

Suit has been brought by "W. B. Strong of New Tork as trustee of the bondholders of the first mortgage bonds of the Topeka "Water company, to recover $105,000 hydrant rentals that should have been paid the bondholders for the last 14 years. All these years the city has paid the rentals to the company, which is now bankrupt and not responsible, having been wrecked by stock and bond suited in driving it out of bnsiuess j manipulatory The supreme court of the United States has denied the application of the writ of Eugene V. Debs for a writ of habeas corpus to prevent himself and seuen others from going to prison upon the charge of con spiracy against the United States government by reason of the great railway strike of 1894. On account of the fact that almost one-third of the railroads of the country are in the hands of receivers appointed by United States courts, the decision has a wide application, although not covering a great range. One point now conclusively settled, is the sovereignty of the federal govern ernmeut in question of inter state transportation. In its finding the court truthfully says: UA most earnest and eloquent appeal was made to us in eulogy of the heroic spirit of those who threw up their employment and gave up their means of earning a livelihood, not in defense of their own rights, but in sympathy for and to assist others whom they believed to have been wronged. We yield to none in ojr admiration of any act of heroism or self-sacrifice, but we may be per mitted to add that it is a lesson which cannot be learned too soon, nor too thoroughly, that under this government for and by the people the means of redress of all wrones is through the courts rind at the ballot box; and that no wrong, real or fancied, carries with it legal warrant to invite as a meaus of re-1 dress the co-operation of in this countrv. In Julv, 1884, on account of the death of Secretary Folger, he was transferred to the treasury portfolio, which position he resigned after a few months' occupancy to accept the appoint ment of United States judge for the Seventh judicial district. While acting in this position he demon strated his integrity and upright ness as a just judge, in his decision ousting the receiver which Jay Gould had procured his appointment in order to work out his own Mach iavelian schemes. In 1888 Rob't O. lngersoll, the eloquent agnostic attempted to stampede the republi can national convention in favor of Judge Gresham, but the plan failed. In 1892, so great was the confidence of the populist party in his integ rity that he could have had the empty honor of a nomination at its hands. Upon the election of Presi dent Cleveland for a second term he was selected as secretary of state, which place he occupied at the time of his decease. At one period in his life Walter Quinton Gresham probably had a larger personal following than any citizen of the United States; but his accepting the position of premier to the present administration has caused this feeling to perceptibly diminish. All the bright luster which his record as a jurist obtained was dimmed thereby; for while all his state papers may have been the hand of Gresbamyet the voice was that of Cleveland. " Although tram melled, as doubtless are the other members of the cabinet, had Mr. Gresham been allowed to conduct affairs in his own way, there is scarcely doubt but that the admin istration of his office would have mob J been more creditable to himself, and Warden Chase Found Guilty. Topeka, Slay 30. "Warden Chase of the state penitentiary has been found guilty of unbecoming conduct and has been recommended to Governor Morrill for dismissal. The charges are: "Im proper relations with Miss Lou "Will iams, assisrant matron at the peniten tiary, and many separate acts of mal feasance in office." The investigation has been going on for several weeks and much sensational evidence has been de veloped. Taylor Case In Court. Pie ree, S. D., May SO. The testi mony of the state in the suit against the Taylor bondsmen was toward proving the amounts in Taylor's hands at the beginning of each term. The defense will attempt to prove a default in the Irst term and that the money was paid m illegal warrants. Caught a BI Bear. Embab, "Wy.,May 80. David Blanch ard of Upper Owl creek caught an bOO pound silver tip bear in a trap a few days ago and succeeded in bagging him. The animal killed a number of young colts in the neighborhood before his capture. Farmers Canal Company. Cheyenne, "Wy., May 30.

Butler, a prominent attorney of this city, who ha3 been on trial for disbar ment, pleaded guilty to the charges pre ferred and was suspended from practice for one year. San FRANCisco.MaySO. Only meager and unsatisfactory advices have been re ceived regarding the foundering of the Pacific Mail company's steamer at Man zanillo, Mex. The officials of the Pa cifio mail persist in the statement that they have received no information of the wreck of the steamer and they have tried to discredit entirely the statement of the disaster. Several dispatches have been received by the Merchant's Ex change and by private shipping firms, an connrming tne tale or tne ocean tragedy, and vary only in tho minute ness of the information conveyed. Cap tain Pitts of the steamer San Juan tele graphed that ho picked up a boat con taining 19 persons, 1-1 of whom were passengers and five members of the crew of the Colima. The rescued boat load was taken to Manzanillo, and then tne &an Juan started, out again in search of other boats of the Colima, the presumption being that the balance of the passengers and crew are afloat in the other boat3. Those Who"Were Saved. The occupants of the boats picked up were as follows: Cabin passengers Dominco Albano, Xftishincr, Thornton. aaraoia, itutz. bteerage passengers John Crew, H. "W. Boyd, Antonio Rome, R. Rose, S. J. O'Neill, G. Rowan, Jose A. Salis, L. L. Zancre. Crew O. Hanson, third officer; A. Carpenter, A. K. Richardson, storekeeper; Raymond Aviles and J. Morel. I The names of Sarabaris and Rutz do not appear in the steamer's list of pas sengers sailing from this port, the pre sumption being that they Joined the j steamer at Mazatlan. There were two : Cushings on board, brothers, and a lady and gentleman, each named Thornton. No initials of survivors were given in the "brief telegram. The latest intelligence regarding the disaster received here was in cipher message to a local snipping firm, con taining the statement of Third Officer Hansen, who was in charge of the boat picked up. Hansen related that at about 11:15 Monday night, as the Colima was about 50 miles from Manzanillo and be tween there and the port of Punta St. Almo, an accident occurred to her machinery. Hansen had no time to investigate the trouble, but believed a boiler had burst. The Colima was put about and began to Bink rapidly. A scone of wild confusion ensued. A boat was lowered and moat of the others swnng, but so far as Han sen knows tho boat he commanded was the only one that got clear of the sink ing ship. She quickly foundered and to avoid suction Hansen's boat quickly pulled clear, and, the night being dark, it was impossible to tell whether the other boats got away from the ship or not. If these boats only got clear away the calmness of the sea and the low sandy beach 20 miles distant would enable them to make a safe landing in a few hours. As tho passengers -were asleep, however, Hansen fears that few es caped. One hundred and sixty passen gers and crew are still unaccounted for. The following passengers from San Francisco landed safely at Mazatlan before the Colima proceeded toward Manzanillo: E. "W. McCutsheon. "W. C. McCutcheon, J M. C. Maxwell, H. M. A. Miller, L. F. Bell. C. V. Gray. , R. F. C. Risby. Many Painful Scenes. The offices of the Pacific Mail and of the telegraph companies and newspa pers are constantly filled with anxious friends of passengers and crew, making tearful inquiries about their friends. Many of the scenes are pitiful in the ex treme and the most gloomy forebodings prevailed, despite the assurances of the officials that the Colima's machinery was in excellent condition, having been inspected just previous to her leaving; that her commanders and officers were skilled seamen, and that the chances were in favor of the safety of their friends. Among the passengers unaccounted for are: Professor Harold "Whiting, Mrs. Whiting, Miss Rose "Whiting and two children of Berkeley. Professor "Whiting occupied a chair in the State university. Another is J. E. Chilberg of Seattle, who was on his way south in the interest of Central American coffee planters in a new steamship line be tween Central America and Puget sound. Officials Still In the Dark. Over36hour3 have passed since the news of the loss of the Colima on the Mexican coast was received in this city, and tho officials of the Pacific Mail com pany are as much in the dark as ever with regard to the loss of life. "With the exception of a brief dispatch from Manzanillo giving the names of 14 pas sengers and five members of the crew who -were picked up by the San Juan, not a word has been received about the disaster and the fate of the other 161 persons on the ship is in doubt. Meager as is the information of the ship, the officers do not believe the loss of life was as heavy as reported. This view of the case is not shared, however, by the friends and relatives of the pas sengers and crew. The ship was lost Monday night and the fact that only one small boatload of passengers had been picked up. leads many to Relieve the vessel went down so rapidly1 the others did not have an opportunity to save themselves. In support of their views of the situation, the officers of the company assert the Colima was so well equipped with small boats that it could hate hardly gone to the bottom quick enough to prevent all on board from getting away in safety. General Passen ger Agent Avery, who has travelled the route many times, says the ocean in the vicinity of Manzanillo is as quiet as 'a mill pond at this time of the year and the deep water along the coast enables steamers to make the trip to Panama in sight of land. At night, he says, they usually go out a mile or two fur ther for safety.but even then are within seven miles of land. Believes the Passengers Are Safe. He argues, therefore, that if the Co lima went down Monday nieht. as re ported, the accident could hardly have "been Severe enoncTi tn nrrpnt; thA small boats being lowered and every -body getting away in safety. He thinks the passeneers and crew eot safely away from the Colima before she sanic and are now fioatincr about in boats in a becalmed sea, if, indeed, they nave not already reached shore. He said if the boats had reached shore in safety the news of the event -would probably not be received hero for a day or two, from the fact telegraphic offices on that part of the Mexican coast are few and the facilities ooor. The wires are strung along on trees and messages are oiten delayed for dava. Tn snnnort of this assertion he cites the fact the company has been unable to communi cate with its agent at Manzanillo since me news or the accident was received. THE SILVER STANDARD IN MEXICO. Minister Ttomero Says It Enconrares the Export of Domestic Product. New York. Mnv ho Ran the Mexican minister nt Wntiiinrrn contributes to the current number of The North American Review an article Which is of mtRrpsfc i the discuss? nn rf ti Mr. Romero points out that while other 1..:. . .. . AcmuuK nations nave tne single gold Btandard. the silver encourages very largely the increase of export of domestic products. The silver standard also stimulates the de velopment of home manufactures, the price of foreign commodities being so high that it pays well to make some of them at home. One great advantage on which Mr. Romero lays stress is that the low price of silver abroad makes it unprofitable to export it. The circulation is there fore increased, so that there is now an ample amount of money in the banks, which stimulates industry, maintains prices and Increases the demand for labor. On the other hand he points out that the silver standard has greatly re duced importations and that tho import duties, which until recently were the largest source of Mexican revenue, are therefore much diminished. General Bucndla of Peru is dead. He was 70 years old and never recovered from the "effects Of Cat-tores' persecution of him. V
