A SENATOR’S INTEGRITY.
Th» I>:sntlsae<! 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.

tion will be contested.
