Senate Clerk n«ruiet Kvldeime That Would Clear Him. New York, April 19,—According to a Washington correspondent tlio truth in the case of James Rankin Yomijf 1ms just transpired. He was dismissed, it will be remembered, from his position as executive clerk of tlic United Slates Senate because he was charged with having betrayed the secrets of the Sen ate while in executive session over the liering sea matter. At the time the matter was being considered Mr. Young was not in the Senate chamber, but came in shortly after. The disclosure was made by a member of the Senate, who wrote the information on the backs of three en velopes and sent it to a newspaper man. After Mr. Young was accused cf the breach of trust this correspondent went to Mr. Young and proffered him these envelopes, saying: “I am not willing that you shall lie under tliis false accusation. Hero is the evidence to prove your innocence. Use it and I will stand by it.” Mr. Young declined to take the en veloped or to use the evidence, suying: “While I am anxious to defend my own honor, I cannot asperse the honor, or the integrity of any Senator’, and I will not use the information you have. I thank you for your kind interest in me, but you can readily understand the propriety of my position. ” RUSTLERS WANT BLOOD. Probability of Exciting Times In the Wyoming Cattle War. Uuffai.o, Wyo., April 18—Excitement among the rustlers is , in on tlio in crease, and the troops charged with escorting the prisoners from McKinney to Douglas must prepare to encounter a thousand armed men who are determined to have Elliott Ford, lless and one or two others for the purpose of hanging them. The rustlers are well mounted and armed witli Winchesters and six shooters. It is feared that they will lay in ambush among the high rocks along some nar row defiles in the mountains. Col. Van Horne has been warned of the inten tion of the rustlers and lie will be pre pared for any emergency. The trouble has by no means been ended by the arrival of troops. The feeling stirred up by the killing of Champion and Ray is extremely titter, and as soon as the soldiers are taken away hostilities will likely be resumed. The worst of the situation is that guerrilla warfare is likely to be the re sult, and men will be picked off singly by concealed marksmen as they ride along lonely trails. There is a proba bility of an attempt to lynch the pris oners and a general fight is expected. BAKER CALLED BACK. Fair Directors lllaime Him for the Washington A Hair. Chicago, April 18.—President Baker lias been called home from Washing ton. On his return the directors will decide how and by whom its campaign before Congress is to be conducted. A special meeting of the board is being held this afternoon, but as the appropria-. tiou matter was not in the call it cannot be considered. "No instructions will be issued and no action on the matter will be taken,” said Vice-President Iliginbotham, “until all the gentlemen who went to Washington have returned and made a full report. President Baker is expected to be back on Mon day.” ' It is believed that the directory will let the government’s $5,000,000 alone unless it comes as an appropriation. That is the idea that is generally ex pressed. The directors say they can borrow all the money they want on the security they have to offer, and will not need to go to the government. At any rate they will not accept a govern ment loan until they are more sure than they are now that they cannot se cure a government appropriation. Won by W. C. T. U. Women.
