WASHINGTON LETTER.

ance. President McKlnley lias bad to
abandon attending the dedication of
the Logan statue In Chicago, owing
to the dolay in disposing of the
tariff hill. lie did so Tory reluc
tantly, na he was particularly anxi
ous to bo thoro, but, of Course duty
enme first, lie did not wish to bo
away from Washington whon the
tariff bill is finally acted upon by
Congress, as it is certain to ho thii
week, now that the conferees have
reached an agreomcet, notwith
standing the threat of a coterie of
Democratic and Populist Senators to
delay the acceptance of the confer
ence report by tho Senate. Theso
threats were probably mado for ef
fect before the agreement was
reached, as nothing can bo gained
by delaying tho acceptance of tho
report and even Democrats and
Populists are not likely to engage in
butting their heads against tlo rock
wall of public opinion whon they
can got nothing by doing so.
Tho country is to bo congratula
ted that tho House conferees had
thoir way about the important
schedules of tho tariff bill ; also tho
Republican party, and the result is
largely duo to the prao! ioal unanimity
of tho Republican pi ess in declaring
tho House schedules to lie preforablo
to those of the Senate. This was
especially true of tho sugar sche
dule, the most troublesome of them
all. To have agreed to tho Sonata
schedule would have furnished tho
opponents of the Republican party
with a groat deal of campaign ma
terial without aiding auy American
industry or adding to tho revenues
of the Government. This fact was
fully recognized by Hpeukor Rued
and the Republican members of the
House, and too much credit cannot
be given thorn for taking tho stand
that tho Senate schedule would, un
der no circumstances bo agreed to
by tho House. Quito a number of
Republican Senators also assisted in
tho good work by condemning tho
bonatosugar schedule.
Tno tariff bill, as it now stands, is
not perfoct nothing of human con
struction is, but it is a good bill, and
will bo endorsed by all who beliovo
in a protective tariff, and will add
to tho believers in protection. It
will onablo many thousand Ameri
cans to got the profitable employ
ment they have boon without for
fjur yoars, and will, at tho same
time, produce all the revonue needed
to run the government. No one
man deserves more crodit for this
bill than Chairman Dingley, whose
nu mo the bill boars. Since last
Dooombor, ho lias worked early and
late on the measure, and if tho Ding
ley tariff proves as popular as its
supporters expert, who knows but
its author may not in tho course of
timo be as highly rewarded as was
the author of tho McKinloy tariff.
Hero's hoping that Dingley times
may bo as prosperous as McKinley
times, and I am sure that Mr. Ding
ley would rather, soo tho country
prosperous than to bo President.
There is littlo probability that
this government will take any
notice of Japan's supplementary
protest against the annexation of
Hawaii, not becauseof any parti
cular desire to snub Japan, but be
cause Secretary Sherman's' reply to
Japan's first protest covered the
ground so fully that noother answer
is needed. Tho action of tho Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations in
favorably reiorting the annexation
treaty without a dissenting voice,
was additional notiea to Japan, and
all tho rest of tho world,' that an
nexation is going to be accomplished
regardless of tho opiniona or wishes
of other nations.
No official of the administration
nor member of either branch of
Congress takes seriously the English-made
rumor that Si'ain and
Japan had formed un alliauea to
mako w: upon tho United States.
Nobody in Washington would be
the slightest bit worried even if it
were kuowu that such an alliance
was an accomplished factrrnstead of
being un English attempt to scare
somebody, as a moans of ''getting
even" for the truthful statement of
tho trkky csouduct of tho English
Government, made in "Secretary
Hln.-riuau' instructions to Ambuss
dor Hay, concerning tho seal fish
eries negotiations. It was not in
tended that these instructions
should lm mado public at this time,
but they were obtained by a wide
awake newspaper man and printed.
Tho publication has mado the Eng
lish editors very mad at the United
States, and their old occupation of
abusing lis, which whs suspended
while tho arbitration treaty was
pending, has been resumed ; but it
is worthy of notice thnt no attempt
has been made to controvert the
truthfulness of Secretnty Sherman's
arraigument of Lord Salisbmy.

COURT NOTES.
Xer Trial Iti'Timeil hi'll mid He I"
Sflilfllreil.
The several judges ware present
at tho convening of court July 19th : i
Hon. G. S. Purdy, president, with
Associates Houck and Klaer.
Schult. was brought into court at 11
o'clock a. m., and on application of
tho district attorney court adjourned
until 1..S0 o'clock p. ni when on mo
tion of D. M. Von Auken, district
attorney the court made an order
directing thnt the testimony on tho
rule fora new trial be hi ken in open
court to begin at 9 o'clock July 20th.
At this timo H. M. Cortright who
had been subpoenaed liy order of the
court npiiearod and testified that in
a conversation with M. B. Pitney
sonietinio in the forepart of April,
while they were working on the
road Pitney said : "Shultz. ought to
bo hung."
Mr. Pitney being Killed by the
Commonwealth testified that bo had
a conversation ,-with Cortright dur
ing the first part of April when ho
went to notify him to work on tho
road. That Cortright said : "Well
I suppose we'll have to hang that
fellow." Pitney enquired : "What
fellow, " and Cortright -said:
" Sohultz," to which ho replied:
"I do not know as I havo anything
to do with that, when Cortright
said: "We are both drawn on the
jury," and Pitney responded: "If
he is guilty of murder and it should
bo proven on him ho should bo hung
or anybody olso who commits that
crime. " Pitney on his cross oxnm.
inntion stoted that ho had received
his notice os a juror prior to this
conversation.
The orgunients were then mado
by D. M. Van Aukon, district attor
ney.ogainst and by J. H. Van Etten,
defendant's counsel, in favor of the
rule for a new trial.
At tho close Schult requested to
be hoard in his own behalf, and
with considerable emotion said : " I
am innocent of tho crime charged
against mo. I had no motivoor rea
son for killing my wife whom I
have always loved. I cannot yet
grasp tho situation and it almost
drives mo insane to think that I
should be found guilty of the mur
der of ono whom I always regarded
with affection. I am very sorry for
those who falsely accusod me of this
crime of which I am not guilty. I
am asking simply fijr justice, not for
mercy ondonly ask that I may havo
another chance to show my inno
conee." Tho court in a lucid opinion re
fused the motion for a new trial, and
then after commanding the prisoner
to stand up, addressed him substan
tially os follows :
Nearly 20 years ago you married
Lizzie ShulU. At that timo yon
promised lo love and cherish her
until death. Hor lot has been a sad
ono and your present position is piti
able ; but the lot of your sous who
contributed to your conviction is the
saddest of all. A blight has been
thrown on thorn that can never bo
romoved. Try as they will they
can never shake it off. i
Your wifo fled from your home in
the city and took np her abode in the
mountain fastnesses back of Shoho
la, in the hope that she might os
capo the unpleasant occurrences at
.home. You followed her like a hyena
in pursuit of his prey and murdered
her, as the jury have found, at the
place where she hoped to hide from
yon.
Only Gixl and yourself know why
you committed the deed. There is
but one penalty for such a crime.
Tho law fixes it ; the court is bnt'
the mouth-piooe. I have no discre
tion in the matter and must pro
nounce the sentence prescribed by
law. Do not build up any false hopes
on bringing your raise to tho apel
late courts, but siond tho time in
preparing yourself to meet your
murdered wife.
Tho sentence of the court is that
you, Herman Paul Shultz, be taken
from the jail to the place of execu
tion and hanged by the neck until
you be dead. May God Almighty
havo mercy upon your soul.
Tho governor will fix tho date
when tho sentence will bo carried
into execution.

discoveries made at j

by Messrs. Grenfell ondlow"e(l J a Wl'3- vvelns, the nrst i
tho Egyptian Explora-
tinn fund is n small DHiro V. inches
bv VI inches, containing eight say-
ings of Christ.
The loiria consist, of
detaohed quotations, ouch begin
ning "Jesus sait.h."
The first saying is: "And thou
thou shalt see clearly to cast out
the nioto that is in thy brother's
eye."
The second saying Is startling and
entirely new. It reads : "Jesus
saith except yo fast to the world yo
shall in no wise find tho kingdom of
God ; and except ye keep the Sabbath
ye shnll not soo the Father."
This being at variance with tho
accepted teachings of Christ, it is
suggested that it is p3rhaps a Jewish
forgery, committed with a view to
supporting tho Jewish Sabbath.
Porhapp it is an erroneous report,
Tho third saying is similar to that
contained in John I., but the form
is different. Christ describes Him
self as standing in tho midst of the
world, fiuding all men drunken and
none athirst. "And My Boul griev
eth over the sons of men because
they are blind In their hearts. "
The fourth saying has perished,
only ono word remaining. This Is
the Greek word for beggary. As
this was not used by Christ in any
gospel, the legion is considered to
have been new.
tho fifth saying, which contains
certain gaps, is of ordinary interest.
It roads: " Josus saith, wherever
there are bore occurs a gap and
there is ono gap alone I am with
him. Raise the stone and there thou
sholt find Me ; cleave the wood and
there I am."
Tho latter part is ontirely now,
and it is expected that it will arouse
controversy. It seems to indicate
a pantheistic philosophy, and, per
haps, is a reflection of the mystical
occultism of the gnostics in tho early
Christian centuries.
The sixth saying coincidos in part
with, IV., 24 : "No prophet is ac
cepted iu his own ennntry ; neither
doth a physician work euros upon
them that know him."
This is considered to prove that
Luke had the saino original records
as tho logia, liecauso the Greek for
accepted, hero dektos, was used by
Luko only and was hitherto sup
posed to bo ono of his tnero literal y
changos on Matthew's collection.
Tlie seventh saying is familar to
Matthew V., 14, but is incomplete.
The eighth saying Is undeciphera
ble. It is suggested that tho (bite of the
document must bo from the year
160 to the year 300 A. D., probably
not later than 200 A. D.
This is all, but the editors add o
short general statement pointing in
explanation that we havo only hero
another instance of free citation
from the gospels be considered satis
factory, while " of the peculiar
tonots of devolopsd gnosticism we
have here not a vestige. Even if
tho prevailing judgment of these
sayings should bo that they were
proservod in gnostic circles, and do
themselves show some trace ot ton-
denoies out of which gnosticism de-
velopod, it does not follow they are
therefore inventions aild whether
free or not from gnostic influence
the genuine ring of what is new in
this fragment and the primitive cast
of tho whole are all in favor of its
independence of our gospels in thoir
present shape."

Brown his father and which he
claimed woro in his possession, ex
cept the house and garden. The de

which he desired to plow, and came
