The jury in the Hill case disagreed;
the point of difference is understood to
be on the delivery oE the bond. This
means a new trial, and more expense for
the state, of course.
President Habkisok was right when

The rapid growth of the summer con
ference idea as a factor in American
progress is illustrated by a somewhat
elaborate article in the May Eeview of
Reviews, in which forecasts of not less
than seventy-five important scientific,
religions, patriotic, reformatory and ed
ucational gatherings to be held in the
United States during the next six
months. The article is of value to
teachers and other intellectual folks as
an. aid in determining the mooted ques
tion, "Where to spend the summer."
Republicans are not tearing their hair
and rending their linen to make political
platforms for next year. The old plat
form is good enough. If the people had
been standing on it for the past two
years democrats would still be yelling
about "the dangers of the enormous sur
plus in the treasury," and there would
have been no Hawaii blindness or Ni
caragua foolishness, either; nor would
English bankers have had 8100,000,000
extra of our bonds to lock up in their
safes. (Chicago Inter Ocean.
The Schuyler Quill is one of the best
populist papers in the state, and sees
that matters are not going altogether as
the-should. It says:
"United States Senator Allen seems to
lie the one powerful element with Gov
ernor Holcomb, in t he way of securing
the appointments. He got Dr. Mackay,
his family physician and political
mouthpiece, appointed superintendent
of tho Norfolk asylum in spite of the
protest of the party leaders of tho Third
congressional district. He succeeded in
getting Leidigh appointed warden of
the penitentiary out of a young army of
applicants. Leidigh, as a democratic
representative in the legislature of 18D3,
was the first to break to Allen for
United States senator, hence this re
ward. Edminsten, as chief oil inspector,
and the deputies selected, are about all
with Allen's endorsement. In fact
Allen seems to bo bigger than his party
and the wishes of the latfer count for
nought when not in accord with him.
We aie in receipt of copies of tho
speech of Hon. Charles H. Grosvenor of
Ohio, in tho house of representatives
February 7 last, that is rich and racy.
He is especially happy in picturing the
situation of tho democratic party and
the administration. The lack of confi
dence of tho people of the country,
which is one of the foundation stones of
the hard times "is all duo absolutely
all due to the assaults made by the
administration itself upon the integrity
of the country, and all done as a shield
to the democratic party for tho future."
According to the ablo congressman "the
situation calls loudly upon us to retrace
our steps, and by an intelligent tariff
law, framed upon the conditions as they
shall exist when the legislation is enact
ed, restore a system of protective tariff,
and in so doing restore prosperity to the
people of the United States."

What the Strike Cost.
Chicago, May 14. Fifteen hundred
awsn were at work for he Illinois Steel
company at South Chicago and the
strike seems to be at an end. The com
pany has withdrawn the 50 special
depaties who guarded its property dur
iWthe troable. The north furnaces
were protected by a rope line and pa
trolled by the city police. The strike
has cost the worlqnen $40,000 in wages.
Evade the School Question.
Victoria, B. O., May l4. The Brit
ish Columbia Methodist conference at its
.aassion here declined to consider a
iwolntion which was offered on the
Manitoba school question, holding that
it was unwise thus to interfere iu politics.
Tokio, M7 18. The recent achieve
seats of Japan have led her to torn her
attention to securing a treaty with Nic
aragua y which she would secure
marked privileges in the Nicaragua
canal. The subject has been under
consideration at Washington between
Dr. Guzman, representing Nicaragua,
and the representatives of Japan. At
one time the basis of a treaty seemed to
hare been reached. Dr. Guzman
feared, however, the United States
might have cause to objeot to certain
privileges accorded to Japan. This ob
jection was met by the representatives
of Japan by the proposition that Japan
should receive the same privileges as
the countries with which Nicaragua has
treaties, except the United States, it be
ing expressly recognized the United
States is entitled to superior advantages
because of proximity to Nicaragua. The
negotiations stopped on this point and
the treaty has not as yet been concluded,
nor is it being further urged for the'
present, although no doubt exists among
officials that a satisfactory treaty will
be made giving Japan privileges iu the
canal commensurate with her growing
power as a military and commercial na
tion. WAsHixaTON, May 13. The Tokio
cable stating that Japan has her eye ou
the Nicaragua canal presents a new and
important phase of the canal question,
in which the United States has taken
such a vital interest, thus far the
United States has regarded Great
Britain as the only dangerous com
petitor for the use or control of the
canal. Now Japan's interest iu the
oanal presents a new factor. Her
victories over China promise to make
her a prominent power in the Pacific.
By gaining privileges in the use of the
Nicaragua canal, Japan will also secure
direct access to the Atlantic without the
long trip around Cape Horn. The im
portance of a quick route to the Atlantic
from Japan is said to be very great,
from a naval and commercial stand
point. The claims of the recent nego
tiations at Washington cannot be
learned, as treaty making is guarded
with much care, until the instrument is
concluded.
JAPS SLAUGHTER THE CHINESE.
The last Battle of the War at Tin Chwana;
Tal ftu a Horrible Slaughter.
New York, May 14. The World has
the following special advice from Tokio,
via San Francisco: The last battle of
the Chinese-Japanese war at Tin
Chwang Tai, March 10, resulted in a
butchery equalling the atrocities at
Port Arthur. It demonstrated that
common soldiers of both oriental races
are as bloodthirsty and brutal as the
American Indians. The Custer massa
cre was not more horrible than the
slaughter of Chinese by the Japanese.
Tin Chwang Tai is in Manchuria, only
a few miles from New Chwang. The
Chinese, under General Sung, had
fortified it. Forty thousand Japanese
infantry and 5,000 cavalry and artillery
attacked General Sung's position March
v irom inree siues. ine unmesa were
quickly routed and the Japanese army
entered the town and began tho
slaughter. Though 1,400 Chinese were
killed, only one wounded Chinaman
was taken prisoner. The wounded
were dispatched on the field iu the
American Indian style. Then the town
was sacked and bprned. Tales from
eye witnesses describe the slaughter as
nornbie.
The Ranger's Timely Arrival.
Panama, May 11. The British bark
Chala, which arrived here yesterday,
carried 150 troops of the Ecuadorean
government from Manta, convoyed by
the gunboat Cotopaxi, carrying 200 to
Puntasua, off Esmeralda, May 8. In
trying to effect a landing the troops
met with continuous firing from the
shore, and were forced to retreat with
heavy losses.
Captain Bayano of the Cotopaxi, real
izing the uselessuess of his guns at the
distance from Puntasua, tnrned his
coarse to a point nearer to Esmeralda
and began to shell the town effectively.
Then ho threatened a regular bombard
ment unless the rebels evacuated their
position within 24 hours. At this junct
ure the Ranger, under cabled orders
of the United States to protect Ameri
can interests, made her appearance. It
was a timely entrance on the scene.
Captain Watson of the Ranger landed
immediately under a flag of truce, and
his wise counsel and friendly influence
prevailing, the rebels quitted Esmeralda
and Captain Boyano assumed posses
sion, 'ihe rebels remain encamped in
the vicinity. The revolution is every
where gaining in Ecuador. General
Altaro hasbeeu proclaimed its leader.

DISASTROUS WRECK ON THE ERIE.
Tfere Men Killed and Two Met Are Seri
easljr Injured.
Hobnellsvuxe, N. Y.,May 14. Oce

known here took place on the western
division of the Erie three miles west of

grooms. Three meu were killed in tae
wreck and all of them were grooms.
Their names are unknown.

ternal injuries. The physicians say he
cannot live. Two other men, names
unknown, were severely injur-!.
Patrick Shannellis, the brakeman, was
thrown into the air when the accident
occurred. An ankle was broken and
his head was badly cut. Ten of the
horses that were in the car were killed.
The debris of the wreck is piled on the

horses.
Robekt Platkk, Mercer, a well known
horse buyer.
Unknown negro, groom.

Denvee, May 14. The annual con

Metalliferous Miners has begun in this
city. The federation represents a mem
bership of about 40,000 miners, and, it
is thought, there will be 160 delegates
present at the sessions this week. The
delegates will come principally from
Colorado, Idaho, Montana and South
Dakota. Probably the most important
subject that will come before the con
vention will be that of affiliating with
the American Federation of Labor and
with the coal miners. By uniting with
the western coal miners the membership
would be increased largely beyond what
it now is. President John McBride of
the American Federation of Labor is ex
pected to be in the city and urge affilia

Coeur d'Alene, a member of the state
senate of Idaho, is present as a delegate.

Wild Scene In the Courtroom When
Prisoner Is Discharged.
Louisville, May 11. After argu
ments were completed in the case of
Gordon for the murder of his wife and
Archie Brown Jndgo Thompson an
nounced he could not hold the prisoner
and that he would discharge him as an-
object lesson to other adulterers. Never
was a crowd more demonstrative in its
appreciation than was the immense
throng in the police court when Judge
Thompson announced the verdict in tho
case. Cheer after cheer went up and
hand after hand was thurst onttothe
judge to show how much his verdict
was appreciated. Iu explanation the
judge said there was no evidence of
guilt on Gordon's part, but that the
adulterer and adulteress stood on the
verge of an abyss of ruin and death and
that their fate was only whit ootid be
expected. Thus ends the last chapter to
the most sensational tragedy in the his
tory of Kentucky.
