TOI'EKA, Kan., March 27.—Reports of white cap outrages in the far western counties of Kansas, away from railroad and telegraph communication, have been frequently circulated in Topeka during the last two months, but they have been meager and unauthentieated and little attention has been paid to "litem.

Duncan then came into the room and began to remonstrate, Uis wife came to his defense and endeavored to pacify the mob,1 but in the heated discussion which followed several shots were fired at tho defenseless man, one passing through the heart and the Other penetrating the spine. The men then rode away. Dun-! can was accused of having pilfered grain from his neighbors in small quantities to be used fo seetj.

WORK OF TI1E QJlfBY. NEW ORLEANS, March 27,-^J'hegrand jury spent three hours Tliuiyiay examining witnesses relative to tlid lynch-' ing of the Italians, besides the gtvards and officers of the jail. A. B. Frertch, a wealthy cotton shipper, who was it) the prison serving a term of sixty days for assaulting a lawyer, identified a great many persons, as well as three of the grand jurors who were seated around a long table listening to his story. French did not attempt to protect anybody, but told his story in detail to the extent of numing some of the men who handled the Winchesters and six-shooters. The other witnesses had bad memories, and tho most of them were unable to swear that they could identify anybody. Tlio grand jury adjourned at 1 o'clock until Monday morning,' when the inquiry will be resumed, and a large number of newspaper men who were around the prison when tho lynching took place will be given a chance to tell their stories. If tho grand jury concludes to indict anybody there will be a scene almost as extraordinary as the uprising itself, for no less than 2,000 men who participated in the mob's work will march to the courthouse and deliver themselves into the custody of tlu sheriff.

The local newspapers are not complimentary to Gov. Nicholls for his reply to Mr. Blaine. The Times-Democrat says: "Thure probably was never anything more Insolent than Mr. Blaine's characterization of tho Incident In tho parish prison as a 'dr-

fnformation

ilorablo massacre' before he had any authentic as to Its circumstances, nor would It be possible, we think, to point to tho Infllotlon on any community through Its chief exeoutive of a worse exhibition of lordly, ouperolllous Impertlnenco than Is convoyed in tho words of the socrctary. And yet not one word had our gpvornor to say for himself or tho people of New Orleans In self defense, justification or rebuttal. His excellency allowed Mr. Ulalne and Mr. Harrison (with his deep regrets) to tweak this oommunity, mcta-

tot

horlcaliy speaking, by tho noso, and he did muiter up spirit to resent the affront." The States is even more bitter in its comments. That journal says: "In that reply he did not think proper to give the slightest rebuff to the secretary of state for his Indccenl haste In condemning the pco pie of New Orleans. He soys not word to set his people right not 1 word In vindication of their disposition to law and order agalnBt the charges of their enemies. He simply says that the trouble Is at an end, and that he assumes that the faels are now under Investigation by the grand Jury. His letter is not even a manly apology. 'Tls

Want an KxtenMon of Time. Pim.ADKI.I'IIIA, March 27.—At a meeting of creditors of It. J. fe G. It. Crump, proprietors 1 if the Colonadc hotel, the liabilities of the firm were placed at $200,000 and the accessible assets at SS0.000. (An extension of time, with promises to pay all debts in full, has been requested, and the matter has been placed in the hands of a committee of creditors.

neither more nor less than a feeble evasion of a direct reply to Blaine by a person who, apparently, feels not the least Interest or conccrn in tho business that has been thrust upon him who does not care whether tho uprising was right or wrong or whether the laws were violated or not or wbothcr the victims were guilty or Innocent or whether they were foreigners or Americans or whether tho state of Louisiana Is Insulted or not—who, In short, is simply concerned In ridding herself of any annoyance about It."

The City Item also expresses discontent with Gov. Nicholls' reply. It says: "The public judgment Is very pronounccd that Uov. Nicholls envo away a splendid opportunity to rebuke Hlalne's hasty condemnation of our people. The governor's reply Is so evasive and Inconclusive that it Is apt to be construod by our enemies as a plea of guilty entered upon behalf of this community."

The New Delta is the only journal that has a good word for the governor, and this is at the expense of Mr. Blaine. Gov. Nicholls in his letter to Secretary Blaine forcibly reminds the latter that it is not the duty of tho executive branch of the government to see that citizens are punished for any offense and says Mr. Blaine should study the fundamental principles of constitutional law before he makes another break of this kind.

LONDON, March 27.—Rome advices say that the government is firmly resolved to exact satisfaction for the killing of the Italian subjects in America, and that the statement of the governor of Louisiana is not satisfactory.

TOOK FRENCH LEAVE.

DELPHI, lnd., March 27.—A littlo over one year ago Abnjr II. Bewen died at his home in this city, leaving a fortune, mostly in personal Rroperty, of 85,000,000. He had scarcely been buried when the officials of the county moved on his eBtate to collect back taxes on property that had been hidden from the assessors, and the series of rows it raised would All a large book. The elder Bo won, although possessed of millions, listed for taxes only a few thousands, but so great was his power that no man made a move during his lifotimc to compel him to pay taxes on all the property ho owned. The Bowen heirs failed to agree among themselves upon on administrator and the court, appointed the county treasurer, under the. statute, to act in that capacity. The heirs fought his appointment as being inimical to the interests of the estate and took the matter to the supreme oOurt, but the higher court decided against them.

The heirs kept up the fight until Wednesday afternoon, when the attoraeys for the county filed a statement with the auditor asking that personal property to the value of over 52,000,01)0 be placed upon the tax duplicate against tho estate of Abner II. Bowen. This demoralized them. They seerctly commenced to pack up their possessions. Trunks, valises, sachcls and b6xcs were brought into requisition, and in them were stored notes, mortgages, bonds and stocks. With these in their possession the heirs departed on the midnight train and now tho widow is in Urbaua, 111., Edward

Bowen is in Chicago, while A. T. Bowen and Etta Bowen are on their way to Philadelphia. A11 have given VP their residence in Indiana except Nathaniel Bowen, who retains the real os,Lite. It is estimated that the value the property carried away is in the neighborhood of 82,000,000.

When the announcement of the retreat of the heirs was made Thursday morning no otic appeared more surprised than their attorneys, who declared that they had not received a hint of the intended flight of their clients. Two reasons are given for the sensational move of the Bowen heirs. They desired to get their possessions out of the state before the assessor came around next month to list property under the new law, and they also figure on having the tax suits transferred to the United States court on the ground that they are non-residents. The bank in this city owned and operated by the family is in the hands of an assistant cashier and is meeting all obligations, many depositors having withdrawn their money Thursday. It is anticipated that when the news is generally circulated in the country a run will be made upon tho institution.

BOUNTIES FOR SOLDIERS.

More Than HI,000,000 May lie Ulitrlb. uted Among Karly Michigan Volunteers.

LANSING, Mich., Mureli 27.—During the latter years of the oivil war Michigan offered liberal state bounties to enlisted men, and in all nearly 82,000,000 was expended for this purpose. But the men who volunteered early in the war received nothing, and an effort is now being made to equalize the matter and pay all veterans aliku. In response to a legislative resolution the attorney general gave an opinion to the effect that tho legislature has the constitutional right to authorize the payment of bounties to soldiers of the late war that was not authorized at the time of enlistment during the war. Uebelieves, however, the legislature has no authority to authorize a loan by the state, or the issuing of bonds for tho payment of said bounties, but he holds the state already has authority to issue bonds to the extent of 8004,000 under war time acts that it also lias the right to use the half million due the state from the government 011 account of the direct tax apportionmci in the payment of any bounties tho legislature may authorize. In other words, there is .91,104,000 available, for payment of bounties which can be authorized by this legislature.
