THE LYNCHING.
Majority of the People In Full Sym- I
pa thy with the \Vrli.
Danville. 111., May 27.—1t is extremely i
doubtful if any of the mob whioh bat
tered down the jail and lynched Halls
and Royoe here Saturday will be
punished for the crime. Though none
of the lynchers were masked it is im
possible to find any one who can Identify
them. The coroner's Jury returned a
verdict to the effect that Halls and j
Royce CAUIO to their death by being I
hanged with ropes In the hands of n
body of unknown mon. The grand Jury
is at present in session, and it is said the
matter will bo brought to Its attention,
but there is scuroely a probability that
any indictments will bo found. While
a few citizens deplore mob violence, the
general majority of the people are in full .
sympathy with the work of the night. '
The wife of the sheriff is in an exhaust- j
ed condition, she having thrice fainted
while the mob was pounding down the !
doors. The mother of Halls is greatly ■
distracted. Living in the edge of South j
Danville she could look across the river :
and see the crowd around the Jail and '
hear the blows of the buttering ram ;
upon the Iron doors of tho jail. She ran
through the streets of the village pulling
her hair until restrained by friends. A
public meeting has been called to meet !
in South Danville to-night at which j
time notioe is to be served upon all '
tough characters In that place to leave
the country or run the risk of meeting
the same fate that befell HalU and Royce.
A BREAK IN WHEAT.

to effect sales. The anticipated break

Dooleion of tho Unitod States Su
premo Court In tho Contempt Cases
Growing Out of tho Groat Railway
Strike In tho YVest—Judge Woods
Says Ho Is Greatly Gratified.
Washington, May 27.—Tho supreme
court in au opinion read by Justice Brew
er denied a motion for an order for the
issue of a writ of habeas corpus filed by
Debs and his associates of the Americnn
Railway union. They will have to serve

court. The case, it will be remembered,
arose in the United States ciroult court
of tho northern district of Illinois. Dobs

court enjoining them from further inter
ference with interstate commerce and
the carrying of the United States mails.

argued by Debs' counsel on the one side
and Attorney-General Olney on the other.

decision of the court below.

informed by a United Press reporter of
the decision of the supreme court in the
Debs contempt case, said he WHS highly
gratified to learn that his opinion had
met with tho sanction of the supreme
court. "Especially, in this instance," he
continued, "do I feel more than a usual
gratification. I believed that I was right
in issuing the lnjunetion lust summer
against the officers of the American Rail
way union and being right in tho law,
the right to punish the men for contempt
followed us u natural consequence.
Will Not be Crowded.
"I do not know when the men will en
ter upon their uncompleted sentences,
but 1 suppose that they will bo given a
reasonable time to report to the mar
shal." Asked if the criminal proceed
ings, pending in the district court, will
now be abandoned on the ground that the
sentence he imposod was for the commis
sion of the same acts with which they
are charged in the indictments, Judge
Woods said; "I cannot understand why
the criuiinul proceedings should be aban
doned."
Attorney Harrow Surprised.
Attorney Harrow, who defended Debs,
was much surprised wheu informed
tliut the habeas corpus hud been denied
by the supreme court of the United
States. "I know of nothing more tliut
can be done," he said. "Tho supreme
court is the last resort, and I suppose
we will have to be content with its
rulings."

DEATH OF MR. GRESHAM.
(Continued from Page 1.)
retired from the room, leaving the pa
tient alone with his family.
Tho End Caine at 1.15.
At 12.20 the announcement whs mado
that the secretary could not live mor
than a half an hour and the ond was ex
pected at any moment. For the past
hour tho secretary gave no indications of
a pulse or heart beat. At that hour he
was conscious, but had lost the use of hl9
voice. Mrs. Gresham was sitting by his
side with his hands clasped in hers,
while his daughter, Mrs. Andrews, held
his head clasped in her hands. The only
other person in the room was Mr. An
drews, Ills son-in-law. At 1 o'olock the
dying man closed his eyes and at 1.15
passed away as if in a sleep.
Sketch of Greshniii's Career.
Walter Quintou Greslium was little
more than sixty-three yeurs old when
his reoord us soldier, jurist and states
man was closed by death. He was es
sentially an Indiaulau, though of late
years claiming residence in Illinois.
Born In Harrison county, Indiana, March
17, 1832, and receiving all his early edu
cation and legal training in that state,
he abandoned a prosperous law practice,
and a membership in the state legisla
ture in August, 1801, to throw his wholo
energies into the prosecution of the war
for the protection of the Union. His
gallaut and conspicuously able services
in that capacity secured him the strong
friendship of General Grant and the re
spect of his confederate opponents which
was frequently manifested in after life.
Wounded at Atlanta.
lie ontertid the service as lieutenant
colonel of the 38th Indiana volunteers,
was brigadier-general for gal
lantry in tho siege of Vicksburg and rati
fied as major-general. In the operations
before Atlanta, Ga., while commanding
a division In General Frank Blair's corps
he received wounds while charging at
the head of his brigade which put him
in the hospital for nearly a year and to a
considerable extent incapacitated him
up to the eud of his life.
Declined a Pension.
Ho was awarded a pension for this
disability but after ho became secretary
of state declined to receive it, although
the constant and intense suffering result
ing from those injuries undoubtedly aug
mented the physical ailments which con
tributed to his dentil.
Ay pointed District Judge.
After the war closed he was brought
forward prominently as a political candi
date. He ran for congress in the New
Albany, Ind., district in 1800 as a republi
can and was defeated. Then he was ap
pointed financial agent of his state In
New York city, an<l while holding this
position was selected by President Grant
for appointment as United States dis
trict judge in his native state.
Defeated by Harrison for Senator.
In 1880, when one of the customary
changes in the complexion of the Indiana
legislature made it possible to elect a re
publican to succeed Joseph E. McDonald
to tho United States senate, Judge
Gresham and Benjamin Harrison were
the leading candidates for the position,
and Mr. Harrison secui'ed the election.
Ah Postmaster General.
After the death of Garfield in 1882
Judgo Gresham was tendered the posi
tion of postmaster general in President
Arthur's reorganized cabinet and re
signed his district judgeship to accept it.
When Secretary Folger died in 1884, af
ter his defeat as cundidatc for governor
of New York by Grover Cleveland, Mr.
Gresham was transferred to tho treasury
portfolio thus vacated.
Circuit Judge.
The duties of a cabinet officer and the
exacting requirements involved in the
disposal of the patronage of one of tho
greatest executive departments of the
government were not to his taste, and at
his own request President Arthur nomi
nated him, after barely three months'
service as secretary of the treasury, to
tlxel positon of circuit judgo for the
seventh judicial circuit, which embraces
the states of Indiana, Illinois aud Wis
consin. He retained this position until,
at Mr. Cleveland's urgent personal re
quest, he joined Mr. Cleveland's second
cabinet as secretary of state.

not been against Mr. Byrnes as a man,

ceased to be an official, it seems to mo
that for me to pass any further comment
upon the matter would be both unwar
ranted and undignified."

FINANCIAL SITUATION
How the Income Tax Will
Effect the Treasury.
The Outlook Not Considered Enoottr*
Aging and May Possibly bead to
Another Issuo of Bonds—A Sehemo
Formulating In the Treasury De
partment to Tax Tea and Beer.
York, May 37. The decision of
the United States Supreme court against
the constitutionality of the income tax
law in its entirety naturally directs at
tention to tho condition of tho treasury.
The commissioner of internal revenue
estimated, before the early decision of
the supreme court against the constitu
tionality of the law, so far as It affected
bonds and rents, that a revenue of at
least $40,000,000 per year might bo ex
pected from the operation of the law.
After the decision above referred to it
was calculated that this would offset
about $15,000,000 of revenue, loaving
only $35,000,000 to be collected under the
other provisions. Now the whole of the
revenue is swept away, and nothing re
mains for the government but to rely
upon customs and internal revenue, and
to hope fur such a revival of business as
will keep the deficiency down to $4,000,000
per month for the remainder of the cal
endar year. The deficiency reported from
Washington on the ltJtli was about $51.-
000,000.
Treasury officials claim that this
amount will not be greatly increased
during the next six weeks, so that at the
end of the fiscal year the deficiency will
stand ut about $511,000,000. llut there
hus been scarcoly a month since the be
ginning of the year that treasury offi
cials have not spoken in the same hope
ful strain, and the results have shown
that they wore mistaken in their calcu
lations.
There is little reason to believe that
their expectations for the noxt six weeks
will be .realized, or that the estimate of a
deficiency of only $4,000,000 per mouth
for the first half of tho new fiscal year
will prove correct. Yet, even admitting
that only $24,000,000 will be added to
the deficiency, the outlook is by no
means encouraging. Something will
have to be done to increase the revenue
and to make up the loss sustained by the
failure of the income tax.
The treasury department is said to be
formulating a scheme to tax tea and beer,
hoping to got sufficient revenue from
these sources. But it must be remem
bered that much time must elapse after
the assembling of congress before any
revenue measure can be considered, and
meanwhile tho deficiency will be in
creasing.
The treasury department will prabably
be able to draw about $1U0,000,000 In tho
general cash balance after the amount
due from tho bond syndicate shall have
been paid in and this can bo drawn upon
without raising any question so long as
tho net gold reserve Is held intact at
about $100,000,000. This sum of $.00,-
000,000, more or less, will bo sufficient to
carry tho government along to the end
of the calendar year and leave a fair,
though small, working balance, provided
there has not been any serious miscalcu
lation as to tho revenues. Should any
thing occur to reduce the estimates of
revenue the only alternative will be to
issue more bonds.
