CRESCENT CITY, Or., Sept. 27.—The Grand Jury of Crescent City, Ore- gon, which was expected to indict the | parties charged with the killlng of A.| Coolidge at Chetco last October, fafled | to meke any Indictments. Thomas Van | Pelt and five sons—also E. C. Hyghes, a son-in-law—had been under arrest since the date of the murder, and it was con- fidently expected that they would be brought to trial. The killing of Coolidge was the result of a feud of long standing, and one in which there had previously and hava since been other acts of violence and bloodshed, which, as a whole, becarmie no- torious as the “Chetco vendetta.” The Van Pelts and Hughes were for a time kept in jafl at Gold Beach, the county seat of Curry County; but were finally released on_ball, soon after which the senfor Van Pelt was ambushed and slain, presumably by a friend of Coolidge. By those who are acquainted with the feeling that prevails in the’ vicinity of Chetco_it is predicted that the failure of the Grand Jury to indict those charged with the crime will encourage greater lawlessness tnan ever, and that the coun- ty . will eventually, after other murders have been committed, have to bear the burden of investigation and meting out justice that it has in the present instance evaded.

Are they (the rabbls) right in expressing themselves as they have done through the public press in holding up to ridicule those who supply them with bread and butter (figuratively), or should they have gone to “these forelgners whom they consider too {gnorant to understand their po- litical franchises” and by persuasive elogyence and logical argument reasoned those ‘‘igno- ramuses” back to the right path? | The above s only a supposititious argument, 0 that the following facts and figures can bé appreciated.

Enlisted Men Generally Desire Re- lease, but the Officers Said to Favor Active Foreign Service. Orders were recelved at the Presidio vesterday from the War Department stat- ing that the Seventh Callfornia Regiment would go to Manila, but that those mem- bers of it who so desired and who could show good and sufficlent reasons for leav- ing the service would be discharged. This means that over three-fourths of the men must remain in the service whether they wish to or not. The situation in the regi- ment has practically narrowed down to a fight between the enlisted men upon one side and the officers upon the other. The men want to get out of the service just as soon as they can: that is to say, at least 80 ner cent of them do. And they In- tend to use all of their influence to ac- complish their ends. The men clalm that they have been misrepresented by Colonel Berry as far as their wishes are con- cerned, The men did not hesitate to say yesterday that thelr officers had been “playing them; that is, that they had been all along pretending they were also anxious to be mustered out, when, in fact, through Colonel Berry they have been secretly plotting with General Mer- riam since his return to have the regi- ment kept in the service. Yestgrday morning, when Captain Pratt, the musterin officer, reached the camp, he announced that at the evenlng parade he would take a vote upon the subject of whether the men wanted to be mustered out and thus ascertain their wishes in the matter, At parade the men all turned out, even those who were sick in quarters and excused, but Captaln Pratt and Colonel Berry dld not appear, and the vote was not taken, he men were loud in their denunclations of the way they had been treated in the matter, Colonel ‘Berry and vcaptain Pratt left shortly before parade for department headquarters, where they had a confer- ence with General Merriam. Captain Pratt returned later in the afternoon, but refused absolulali’ to make ny state- ment for publication. Colonel Berry was not to be found in camp yesterday even- ing. gvsterdny morning the men were eager and expectant at the prospects of an early home-going, but later in the day, when they got wind of the orders from ‘Washington, they began to express them- selves in no uncertain terms. No officlal information on the subject of the regi- ment remaining in the service was given out to the men yesterday, The officers refused to dfscuss the mat- ter. The men of the regiment declare they do not wish to go to Manila. They say they have no desire for garrison and po- lice duty, and many of them were even mutinous In their expressions, declaring that they would leave the seryice any- way, or clse that they intended to make it warm for their otficers. An outbreak upon the part of the men, however, is not feared, and it is the gen- eral opinion that in a few days they will accept the inevitable with that fortitude and alacrity that ever characterize tone American soldier. —————————— CORBETT AND SHARKEY. The Sailor is Willing to Fight but the Ex-Champion Is Doubtful, Jim Corbett, the ex-champlon pugiltst of the world, need not wait long for an opportunity to make blg money, that Is, provided he fs sincere In his ideas about entering the ring again, Now that his proposed “mill” with MeCoy is off for good, Corbett can pocket & cool $15,000 purse by whipping Tom Sharkey, the powerful sailor, in this city. Last week the National Club of this ocity offered a purse of $10,00 for a twenty-round contest between Jeffries and Corbett, but when the manager of the club learned of the little interest_the sporting people of this oty took in a_contest of this kind he decided to drop it quick, and yesterday he telegraphed Corbett and Sharkey offering a purse of $15,000 for a twenty-round bout to be held In this city. Tom O'Rourke, in behalf of Sharkey, an- swered the National Club's dispatch, stating that Sharkey would be only too anxious to fight Corbett In this city under any old rules and that the purse was satisfactory. O'Rourke stipulated, however, that a referee from the Fast must be selecfed, and to this proposition the club will willingly consent. Corbett has not answered the telegram as vet, but Eastern sporting men who are visiting his. city say that Corbett will not fight Shar- and that he would much rather meet The friends of Corbett contend that the ex-champion is not afraid of Sharkey, and that he will send a favorable reply to the offer that has been made to him by the National Club. Tf Jim should consent to s match of this kind there will be very little time lost in bringing the men together. In the Divorce Courts, John J. Ford was granted a divorce from Madge H. Ford yesterday on the | ground of willful desertion. Martha L, Staples has been granted a divorce from Willlam J. Staples on the ground of cru- ehg. John W. Lemmon has been granted a divorce from Emma Lemmon on the round of extreme cruelty. Martha E. rouhard has sued Charles E. gmuh for a divorce, alleging failure to provide as a cause of action, F. J.

SUBMITTED \ |A WARM PASSAGE OF WORDS BETWEEN COUNSEL.- Attorney Cator Resents the Applica- tion of His Acts at St. Louis Convention as an Illus- tration. Tha struggle for the Populist party des- ignation on the State ticket was resumed yesterday before the Supreme Court, in bank, the seven Justices being: in attend- ance. T. V. Cator alone entered the lists for the “Middle-of-the-Road"” Populists, while the fusionists had as spokesmen Garret | McEnerney, Senator Stephen M. White, B, A. Bridgford and Judge Van Meter.” The parties at interest- agreed upon a state- ment of facts in the premises and sub- mitted the case late in the afternoon after each side had argued the law points in- volved. Mr. McEnerney outlined-the situation at Sacramento during the Populist .copven- tion, July 12, 13 and 14. He told of the convention meeting on the first two days in regular session and how the delegates opposed to Maguire and fusion called an- other convention in the Senate chambers on the following day. He held that this minority did not represent the Populist’| arty, but that the men who remained be- glnd and completed the labors of the original convention were the true repre- sentatives of the party He argued that the convention proper—not the courts— was the last resort of the People's party. Political parti he declared, must be treated like any unincorporated religious or socfal organization. That the majority rules has grown to be an axiom in Amer- fcan politics and relief must be sought in the party itself and not in the courts. Secretary of State Brown when filing the certificate of election was not actin) in a judicial cupa(‘“iy he saidy and all that was required of him was to file the certificate and not to decide any ques- tlon. He submitted that the People’s arty had done its duty, consequently fhnt there was nothing to decide, and he asked that a writ of mandamus ssue. Senator White grew sarcastic in his summing up of the fusionists. In speak- ing he assumed that the court would not preseribe rules of morals and behavior for | political parties, He insisted that the | convention was a convention of the Popu- 1ist party and said that Mr. Cator and his friends did not find anything wrong with it until his man was defeated. When they did not get what they wanted fifty-thres | of them withdrew and set up for them 5 | | | | elvos, He said if they were proclaimed the rep- resentatives of the Populist party that they were subject to & penal law punish- ing’ the voting for two men for the same office. On these grounds he said they | should not be before the court unless in | answer to habeas corpus proceedings. He spoke of the fifty-three bolters as “exiles" of the Populist:convention and that under the conditions they eould not set them- | selves up as the true and only represen- tatives of the Populist ticket. Because | the convention acted contrary to the ‘wishes of Cator and otheérs was no reaso why they should set up a convention o their own. In_ closing he sald they latform of the Populists, showing that ?hay agreed upon the principles of the party but disagreed upon the spoils. Mr, Cator made an earnest plea for the gfnmnl he represents in the controversy. e disputed the statement of his op- onents to the effect .that due notice of he third day's session had not been iven, He also sald that Secretary rown had to decide which convention represented the People's party, as each had flled certificates. He claimed that the minority were the only delegates faithtul to their trust. He said the dele- gates were trustees of the party and were Dot supreme. That they became the only trustees present when the majority re- fused, as he clalmed, to carry out the wishes of the People’s party. he others abandoned it by commingling ‘with and fusing with the other parties. The only incident to ruffie the surface of the grocredln s was a short passage of words between Mr. Cator and Mr, Bridg- ford. The latter, in citing cases in fa- vor of his argument, said that two years ago Mr. Cator was sent to St. Louls in- structed against fusion. On the journey he changed his opinion and voted for Bryan. “That is not true, Judge,” interjected Mr. Cator, “the opposite is the case.” “Well, you vof for Bryan and came back and voted for him,” was the re- Joinder, The court took the matter of contro- versy under submission.

The struggle of the California Asso- clated Cycling Clubs for local option in the matter of cycling racing has been won after a great single-handed fight. Accord- ing to a telegram received by F. H. Ker- rigan last night from Philadeiphia, the racing men of the East have cast their lot with the governing board of the sport on this coast. 2 The telegram.was signed by twelve of the racing men whose names are as household words wherever. the bicycle is used. The change in the sentiment of the Eastern men has been gradual. The officers of the Le:,sue of American Wheel- en have impos: exacting rules upon them until the burden became too great to bear. The climax was reached when men were fined for training on a track that had been blacklisted. ~ It .was sup- osed that the rider did not come Wlthgl he jurisdiction of the racing board until he competed. The cycling officials on this coast believe the men of the East should have their own organization. The sport must be §oveme from either Chicago or New ork by a natlonal organization to insure permanency. “It is gratifying to know that we have ‘won our fight and that the Eastern racin, men look to the California Associat: Clubs for guidance,” said Chairman R. M, Welch of the assoclation racing board last night. “I thought though that they were better organized in the East. They can hardly expect our association here to direct racing all over the country. The national governing body must be in the East and we are prepared to affiliate with it whenever it is organized. When the men come here-they will be under our Jurisdiction.” ——————— Creditors Ask an Accounting. Margaret Lynch, James G.
