to re & PAL VPLRAN AR Taam EO wt Fe : HIGH TREASON THE CHARGE. Colonel Lynch, the Ex-Boer M. P., Ar- rested in England. London, June 11 —Colonel Arthur Lynch, who fought with the Boers in Africa and who was elected in No- vember to represent Galway in the House of Commons, was arrested this morning on his arrival at New Haven from Dieppe, France. Col Lynch, who was accompanied by his wife, was brought to London to the tow street police station. Lyneh was arraigned upon the charge of high treason and was remanded until June 14, after formal evidence of his arrest had been presented. The pri soner, who was described upon the charge sheet asa “journalist,” sat in the dock apparently unconcerned un- til the magistrate asked him if he had anything to say in reply to the charge, Then he arose and replied almost inaudibly, “No sir’ He did not apply for bail and was taken to the cells, The Irish Nationalists in the House of Commons annoved the ministers today upon the subject of the arrest ofColonel Lyneh They wanted to know why the colonel had not the same right to surrender as other burghers. The government leader, A.J. Balfour, replied tersely: “He is not a burgher.” A PROTEST IN THE HOTSE, John Redmond, the Irsh leader, and J, G. Swift, Nationalist, then asked the secretary of state forhome affairs, Mr. Ritchie. why he had not fulfilled his ministerial duty in in- forming the House of Colonel Lynvh’s arrest on the charge of high trease Mr. Ritchie denied that it was ~ duty to so inform the House When the trish members appealed te the Speaker, the latter upheld the Xa-| tionalist contention that the usnal practice was to inform the House of Commons ofsuch anincident through theSpeaker, Further questions were was dropped. At the outbreak of the South African war Lynch joined General Joubert’s army and became colonel of the Irish brigade and a personal friend of President Kruger. Lyneh was sent to South Africa by Collier's Weekly, but left war correspondence for fighting as soon as he passed the British lines. The Irish brigade was warmly weleomed by the Boers and Lyneh received the lion’s share of the popular ovation. His brigade was marched immediately to Kruger’s house and was received by the presi- dent in person, who made a speech in Dutch whieh no one in the brigade understood. After exborting them tofight bravely for independence and against the oppresion of England, he became especially vehement and im- pressive and, turning to Lynctr, poured out a jumbled mass of excit ed Dutch. Lynch discovered after- ward that Oom Pan! was telling him not to override the Boer ponies an1, give them sore backs, THE IRISH BRIGADES WORK. The Irish brigade fought along the Tugela river and Colonel Lyneh’s scouting and rear guard work in the retreat after the relief of Ladysmith was mentioned especially in Boer dis- patehes. With three Americans he remained behind the retreating Boer army—and—blew-up-raitroa and culyerts within sight of the Brit- ish cavalry, allowing the Boer rear guard to retreat in safety. Colonel Lynch was opposed in the contest in Galway by Horace Plun- kett, a Unionist. The Nationalists disclaimed any intention of insisting upon the presence of their successful candidate in Parliament. They sup- posed he would be arrested. The election was a stormy one and the jail was full of voters with bandaged heads. Colonel Lynch returned to England of his own accord. He was notified that warrants were out for his arrest. Mr. Balfour announced in Parliament that he would have Lynch prosecuted and that the Irish- man would never take his seat. AP. A A Joke By Senator Bailey. Washington, June 13.—During the greater part of today the Senate was in executive session, thenomina- tion of Captain Crozier to be chief of ordinance of the army being the par- ticular subject under consideration. The President’s message urging the establishment of reciprocal relatious between the United States and Cuba was received after the Senate’ had gove nto secret session, The doors were opened, the message was read aud then the secret session was re- sumed. ot The message was listened to with ne ee a ne en ae | profound attention by senators on The at- tendance of senators was notably large. The chair announced thatthe message would be referred to the committee on relations with Cuba. Mr. Dietrich, of Nebraska, and Mr. Warren, of Wyoming, both address ed the chair and the latter was recog- nized and moved an executive ses- sion. “Isa motion in order, Mr. Presi dent?” inquired Mr. Bailey, of Texas, “It_is,” replied —the- acting presi- dent. “I had intended to make a mo- tion,” said Mr. Bailey, facetiously. “IT will not do it, but I feel inclined to move to refer the message to the Re- publican caucus.” ( Laughter.) Mr. Allison, who was sitting direct- ly in front of Mr. Bailey, on the Dem- oeratic side, and who had listened attentively to the reading of the , turnéd to the Texan and, smiling with the utmost good na- ture, bowed ceremoniously to Mr Bailey. “The chair is not aware,” replied Mr. Kean,-who was presiding, “that any such committee exists ” | both sides of the ehamber. mess Why the Deacon's Explanation Dido’t Explain. From the Washington Post Emerging from the Tfeasury de- partment recently, where he was con- fronted by the largest load of ice he ever saw, Representative Moody, of the North Carolina mountains, was moved to an anecdote. “Years ago, before railroads were common in that part of the country, T was down in North Georgia,”’ said he. “There I knew a fine old deacon in the Lone Swamp Baptist church. Ue cured his bacon with hickory and marketed the same in Augusta, whither he hauled his produce ina wagon, On one of “his trips to that municipality he sold his bacon for the top price prevailing in the mark- et, was handsomely entertained by the purchasers of his product, and, in short, becaine very drunk. It wa 80 reported at home, and the church directed a tral. “Many witnesses were heard and then the deardn himself was called. ‘Lreckon what they have said is pret- ty true,’ he frankly admitted, “but I ask the church to pardon me, [sold my bacon for a good pricein Augusta to some very nice men, But they asked me into their back ottice, where some lemon juice and sugar and lots ofice and other ingredients were mix- ed together, I drank oue glass and they urged me to another, in which there was also lots of ice. After drinking that I remember nothing more,’ : “At this one of the brethren of the church arose, and with great dignity announced that he believed the dea- con should be pardoned for being drank, “But he has lied,’ continued this brother. ‘He tells us they had ice in Augusta during June, which is pre- posterous. For that I shall insist that he be dismissed from the Lone Swamp ebureh.”’ Warning to the Unsatisfied. T. T. Morris, formerly of Audrain county, Mo , sends the following clip- ping from a Batte, Montana, papet to the Mexico Intelligencer, and Mr. Morris writes at the bottom, ‘This article js facts.” Butte, Mont., March 22, 1902. To housekeepers and working people of the Eass and Middle West: The transportation companies, and especially the Great Northern Railroad, are extensively ad- vertising in the Eastern and Middle Western states for the purpose of inducing people to emi- grate to Montana, Idaho, Washing- ton and other western states. Inas- much as these advertisements are false and miskading in character, and nothing less than criminal in theireffect, the Western Labor Union considers ita duty to state briefly the real industrial conditions in the west and northwest. If the plain truth was known, there would be no incentive for settlers, housekvepers or working people to come west to improve their’ condi- tions. There is not a desirable tract of land in the Northwest that will not require hundreds, und in most cases thousands of dollars to make it pro- ductive. The statement that »the Northwest i# a boundless tract of rich, productive and fruitful land open for settlentent, and only await- ing the magic touch of the poverty- stricken farmer from the East to make it yield forth in abundance.all the best products of the farm, is just as fulse as well-sounding. If the rail- road.otficialé who make these state- 7 | ments, and advertise them, were giv- jen their just deserts, they would be considered as criminals and treated as such. Their advertisements will bring years of hardship, privation | and suffering to those who accept them as truth, and who come wesfin the expectation of securing homes or employment. We have no desire to give a set- back to the development of ourcoun- try’s resources. These resources are limitless to men of capital. But to the farmer without means, and the laboring man, there is not theslight- est inducement to come West. In Butte, in the Cripple Creek dis- trict, in the Coeurd’Alenes, in British Columbia, on the Pacific coast, and in the agricultural communities ev- erywhere in the West, there are hun- dreds and thousands of idle men If the west afforded such ‘exceptional opportunities to housekeepers. set- tlers and working men, these able- bodied and industrious people would not be found in hundreds and thou sands begging for a chance to make a mere living. Do not believe these flattering state- ments about the West. They are deliberate lies, malicious and erimin- al in effect, and spread by the trans- portation companies simply for the purpose of increasing the earnings of their roads. To add a few greasy dollars to their already large divi- dends, these railroad companies are willing to take your last money for tickets and then leave you (perhaps with families) homeless, without re- sources in a country already over run with idle labor, Do not be deceived. Money For Oklahoma Towns. Washington, June 12.—The House has passed a bill, introduced by Dele- gate Flynn, directing the Secretary of the Interior to cause to beexpend- ed out of the proceeds resu'ting from the sale of town lots at Lawton, Anadarko and Hobart, certain funds for water works, schools and other municipal improvements as follows: Lawton, $150,000; Anadarko, $60,- 000; Hobart, $50,000.

While He Has Dropped Only a Trifie, $221,000, It Is Pointed Out to Him That His Conduct Does Not Honor the Family Name, “Reggie” Vanderbilt promised his mother and elder brother, Alfred, to give up gambling. When the family learned that the losses of the young- est son of the house amounted to $221,000 he was summoned to a fam- ily council, It pointed out to him that although his losses to his polite friend, Mr. Canfield, might not emt s him financially, his con- duct did not reflect credit on his name. He was told that it was not desira- ble for him to be known chiefly for playing roulette and driving an auto- mobile at breakneck speed through the streets of the quiet university town of New Haven, His brother Al- fred further explained that his lux- urious style of living was not to the taste of the widow and other chil- dren of the late Cornelius Vanderbut, as a retiring man of hard busi- nse. ‘ d Vanderbilt expressed his willingness to give up gambling, but said he could not see why he showld forego the pleasures and luxuries which his fortune warramed, In the end he consented to modify the speed of his automobile, but refused to change his manner of living in New Haven. The family decided that after his graduation from Yale in June he should spend a-year going around the world, Mr. Vanderbilt has only recently re- covered from pneumonia and is now living’ quietly in New Haven, making up the studies he missed during his illness. BURIED IN COAL BUNKERS. was Awful Fate of Stowaways on British Freight Steamer from the West Indies, When the British freight steamship, Sir Richard Grenville, from the West Indies, arrived at New York, Capt. Jones reported the tragic death of two West Indian stowaways, West Indian ports, among them being St. Lucia, where she coaled. It is at this port Capt. Jones believes the stowaways, who were negroes, man- increases to $30,000 the cost of the haged to get aboard the vessel by letting courthouse in each of the towns named. Mr. Flynn, in explaining the purpose of the bill, said: “When the Kiowa and Comanche country was opened, Congress pro- vided that instead of openingsup the lots to the general rush as had been customary, they should be sold at auction to the highest bidder. This bill provides, in view of thedact that the proceeds were four times asmuch as contemplated and as every dollar was paid by people living in the new counties, that a part of the money resulting from the sales te used in publicimprovements. The Secretary of the Interior has indorsed this plan.” Fee How Are ¥: Kidneys Dr. Hobbs’ Sparagus Pills cure all kidney ills. Sam- ple free. Add. Sterling *2medy Co.. Chicago or N. ¥ Mexicans Massacred Yaquis. Tuscon, Ariz , June 12.—Deta'ls of a massacre of Yaqui Indians, men, women and ghildren, at Pretas, Sonora, by the soldiers of General Torres, was brought yesterday by Colonel William Christy, president of the Valley Bank of Phoenix. The Yaqui forces operating in that sec- tion had moved further into the mountains, leaving their women and children in the Santa Rosa canyon under a guard of eighty men. The Mexican soldiers killed all of the guard of eighty Yaqui. Not a single one survived, and more than a bun- dred women and children fell before the Mexican bullets and bayonets. The bodies were left in the canyon and the remaining women and chil- dren were taken to Minas Prietas by the soldiers and from that point will be taken to Hermosillo, The Mexican soldiers and rurales have explicit or- ders to take no Yaqui men prisoners, but to kill in all cases. The order was illustrated yesterday when a friendly Yaqui miner came down to Prietasfor supplies and was killed by the rurales on the outskirts of the town. The Yaquis say they do not careto tight, that they are peaceably inclin- ed, but are driven to desperation by the M@xicans, and as a last resurt have taken up arms to protect their rights. The Mexican government appears to be bent on exterminating the Yaqui people, Christy says, and all men and boys falling into their hands are shot. : themselves down to the coal bunkers through the chutes. The men had evi- dently miscalculated the time that the steamship was going to remain at St. Lueia, and did not know the vessel was to coal up. After they had reached the coal bunkers many tons of coal were taken on board, and the two stow- aways were literally buried alive. Nothing was known to the captain or crew of the tragic death of the men until the morning of April 18, after the vessel had left Guantanamo, loaded with sugar for New York, when one of the bodies slid through the coal chute into the furnace room, At the time the stokers were piling coal into the furnaces, while the vessel was making a hard fight against a north- easterly gale. The sight of the body sent a shiver through the stokers, and caused them to temporarily quit work. Capt. Jones was notified of the discovery, and after making sure that the stow- , ordered the body S away was det fed in the sea, Six days later the stokers were again horrified by another body. which came through the coal chute into the far nace room, A search was then made of the coal bunkers, but no more were found. 4 bodies The Capital Stock Authorized During the Month Reaches a Very With the single exception of Febru- ary, the amount of the new capital stock authorized in April was the larg- est for any month this year. The total for the eastern states of companies capitalized at $1,000,000 or over reached $231,575,000, which compares with $158,- 150,000 in March, $294,850,000 in Febru- ary and $146,950,000 in January. The heavy April total, however, makes a very slim showing with that of April last year, which was a record-breaking month in the matter of new incorpora- tions and eapital authorizations, the total rising to the enormous sum of $1,619.650.000. This was due in consid- erable measure to the United States Steel corporation. Leaving the United States Steel-corporation out of consid- eration.

It is 12 feet high, the framework consisting of one special- ly made wheel and 12 ordinary onés,, all fitted with pneumatic tiers. The figures denoting the hours are made of crank rods and are attached to an inner rim; the hands are of the steel piping uséd-for the framework of bicycles; the minute strokes aré small wicheniated spokes, and the top of the clock is a curious arrange- ment of 12 handlebars. The clock strikes the hours and quarters on bicycle bells. Diameter of Planets, The diameter of Jupiter, according to Prof. T. J. J.
