SLOAN Canadian Government Employment Agent, Blyth P. 0. THE 'FIGUT FOR A LIFE AT BOISE CITY. The Forces For and Against Haywood Working Feverishly in Secret. Defence Will Try to Have Orchard's Evidence Ruled Out by the Court. Boise, Idaho, June 24.—This was one of the hardest days Witham D. Hay- wood bas had in his trial for the mur- der of former Governor Frank Steunen- berg, so far as the evidence brought out it concerned. The prosecution sue - ',seeded in introducing four letters show- ing an arrangement betweeen Haywood and Orchard insummer of of 1905, 9O , by which the Cripple was to be deceived as to his where - shouts. One o fthe letters was from Haywood himself, on the official sta- tionery of the Western Federation of Miners. It was dated November 18th, 1006, and told Mrs. Orchard that the last he had heard of her husband he was in Aiaeka. Orchard, in fact, was at that time in Caldwell with Jack 'Simpkins, arranging the murder of Stounenberg. Orchard identified the letter which Haywood wrote to Mrs .Orchard, and that was admitted in evidence and hand- ed to the jury. It was as follows: "Denver, Nov. 18, 1905. "Arita H. Orchard: Dear Madam and Stetter,—I have not beard a word since I raw you. The last information I got was from Aluska. I think Fairfield was the name of the place. I see that awful conditions prevail among the law and order element. "Yours very truly, "Williams D. Haywood." The letter was in complete accord with the etory of Orchard which he told on the witness stand, 'regarding the :ar- rangement to fool his wife, and, links Haywood up with him at the time when be was preparing to carry out what he declares to have been llaywood's order to kill Steufnenberg. The introduction of these letters made , a deeideel impression on the jurors. They j tat up and took more notice than they have for several days, and when the let- tere were passed around among them 'each man scrutinized them closely. lIeny Orchard occupied the stand most of the day on redirect and recess -exam• kation. He was preceded by Jasper (Niebuhr, Sheriff of Canyon county, who kid the foundation for the introduction of another letter, the unsigned one, to rwhich Mr. Hawley referred in his open - ;ins statement. Nichols was in charge al the jail where Orchard was held on his arrest at Caldwell immediately after the Steunenberg murder. He received the letter for Orchard, opened and read lit, and made a copy of it before deliver - Ing the original to the prisoner. Orchard destroyed the original as soon se he had read it. This morn- ' Ing Nichola identified the cope he had made, andthen Orchard testified that he remembered very clearly the con - , tents of the letter he had receivd, and that this was an accurate copy of it. tieso swore that the letter was from Pettibone, although it was unsigned, ,Pettibone, said that he was faegMar with Pet- tibone's , tandwriting, had seen it parent. Witnesses for the State are con- etantly arriving. The witnesses for the defence, numbering 150 or 200, will be here by the end of the week, Colorado supplies the larger number of these, but California, Idaho and Washington will send others. The witness on the stand at the open- ing of the court this morning is hd. Boyce, now a wealthy man and one of the owners of the Hercules mine, in the Coeur d'Alene, of which Orchard owned at one time a sixteenth share. Boyce was for several years the President of the Wesetrn Federation of Miners. 11e has identified the Miners' Magazine as the official organ of the FederatXon, It was in fact started under his direction while President. With the opening of court this morning the fight turns on the introduction of copies of the maga- zine. 'Those which have been offered in evidence contain a number of articles commenting on former Governor Stele nenberg. Some of these articles are over the signature of W. D. Haywood, and the State hopes to get them in as proof of the animus that existed in Haywood's mind against the Governor who had driven the Federation out of the State and whose example had been followed by the Governor of Colorado. The state now expects to close its case indirect by Friday night, and when it is probable that the court will adjourn over until Monday. The opening of the defence will prob- ably take one day and then will begin the attack on the story told by Orchard. Counsel for the defence will, at the close of the state's arise, however, move to strike out Orchard's entire story, on the ground that the state has failed to link Haywood with the murder of Steunen- berg, with which be is charged, This, un- der ordniary circumstances, it is said by counsel for Haywood, might be a eomo- whliat perfunctory matter, but in the pre- sent case they hold that the state has not so far made good its case, and they expect the Orchard story to be stricken out, in which case, they say, the case against their client will fall to the ground. Counsel for the state say their case is not completed, and that the defence has no meatus of knowing the amount or the quality of the corroborative testimony yet to come. $a.00 Assessment. Denver, June 24.—Among a number of resolutions introduced yesterday at the Western Federation of Minens was one Yor a general assessment of $2 on each member of the organization for the de- fence fund for Moyer, Maywood and Pet- tibone. Another resolution amends the ritual by providing that there shall be nothing in the obligations which shall be con- trary to any member's "duty to his God, his country and his fellow men." , nor aul the eastern part of l'aipoonge received the full brunt of the disaster, The losses were numerous and severe. Many small buildings, settlers' houses and effects, and large quantities of cord- wood, ties and fencing, besides thousands of dollars' worth of standing timber were wiped out, and the scenes during the height of the fire were of the most ex• citing and depressing character. In some eases the settlers, after sending their families away, were obliged to set back fires in order to save their homes. The fire at its height was a terrifying sight, the flames in places rushing in a wave a utile wide and a hundred feet high.

He should ' send it to you, so that you ought to have it by this time." lite questions asked by Mr. ;Richard- son showed that the defence proposed ,to prove that Orchard for years had hated Steunenberg. The name of Max Mauch, of Denver, was used in this con- nection, Orchard being asked if he had ever threatenedto kill Steunenberg be- fore Malieb. He denied this, where - n Richardson said he would produces tick in court. Orchard denied he had made a similar remark to Lomio Day in Denver, "Kid" Waters, of Cripple Creek, and others, and further i denied telling Dr. S. J. McGee, for- . nrerly of Wallace, that he was a spy and would "get even" with Steunen- berg. Boise, Idaho, June 24.—Secrecy is the watchword of the men who are conduct- ing the prosecution of W. D. IIaywood, charged with compassing the death by assassination of a former Chief Exeeu- tine of the State, and mystery surrounds every move made by counsel retained by the Western Federation of Miners to defend their Secretary. 'The case has , reached the stage where every move on ' the part of the State's attorneys is more closely watched and reported on by a score of sleuths emlpoyed by the ' defence in order that counteracting evi- 1 dense may be secured in the poi its in . the four or five western States where the alleged conspiracy, culminating re- cording to allgations of the prosecutors in half a hundred murders, played its part, and from which the Sate is pro- ducing witnesses.

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., June 24.— More serious reports come from the woods to -day regarding forest fires. Al- though rain fell last night, the fires were not checked. It is reported from Webb - wood that three men were burned to death war there. Many miles of forest along the Algoma Central have been burned, and the flames seem to be in. creasing in spite of light rains. Thou- sands of dollars' worth of timber has been destroyed in the Georgian Bay district also, and many operators have lost all of their supplies and equipments. Destructive fires are burning on the Michigan side, too. Unless heavy rain falls at once the fires may burn for days. Fort William, June 18.—Forest fires, which seem to be raging all over the dis- trict, are especially severe along the route of the G. T. P., and Foley Bros., contrac- tors, have suffered immense losses by the destruction of camps and supplies. Three powder houses, containing Targe quantities of powder, have been blown up by this cause, the houses having caught fire and the powder soon complet- ing the work of destruction. The powder .houses which were destroyed were located at Sheba and ]soden lake. Two camps were also destroyed by these fires. Both contained an immense amount of suup- plea. The camps were at Finmark and Bay of English. The district around Kenora is also being swept by bush fires, W. T, Parson, who has the G. T. P. con- tract in this district, lost his storehouse in the fire. His lose will he over $2,000. A special from O'Connor township, twenty-five miles from here, says: The valley is enjoying a temporary respite from the series of disastrous forest fires A IIOT TIME IN CONFERENCE. Minister Attacks the Methods of Rev. Dr. Chown. MUTINY OF RUSSIAN SAPP[RS; SIX KILLID AND SIXTY WOUNDED. Were Put to Flight After a Short Fight—To be Tried by Court Martial. General Secretary of Moral Reform Supported by Vote. Toronto despatch: "This is the first time in my life that 1 have ever been called on in this way to defend tnyttelf," said Rev. Dr, Chown, (General Secretary of Temperance and Moral Reform for the Methodist Church, as he went quiet- ly to the platform of the Elm Street Church yesterday afternoon, where the Toronto Methodist Conference was in session. This expression had reference to the remarks made by Rev. Thomas Camp• bell, and which created one of the out- standing incidents of all the sessions. When the report of the Committee on Temperance and Reform was read by Rev. J. S. I. Wilson, it made reference to "the sane and etatesutunlike leader- ship of Dr. Chown," and suggested that the appointment of a Field Secretary to assist the General Secretary was neces- sary. "1 want to take exception to both these clauses," said Rev. Mr. Camp- bell. This dspartu►ent of the Church, he said, was costing now $4,000 a year, and with a *Field Secretary would run up to $0,000. Ile did not think the ministers present would sanction such additional expenditure or the nppoiutment. A vast expenditure was creeping upon the church in the matter of euperiutendency, which was, he declared simply appalling. He read from a. report in The Globe of a sermon delivered at the Bay of Quints Conference by Dr. Chown, in which the General Secretary had told of a certain deal by stockbrokers in Toronto with Lake Superior Consolidated stack. Dr. Chown had declared thia transaction of these brokers to be discreditable. "The Toronto Stock Exchange has as high a standard of integrity as the To- ronto Conference," said the speaker with emphasis. "And it is a great mistake for the head of any movement to of- fend such interests as members of the Toronto Exchange, some of whom are members of the Methodist Church." This last statement was met with laugh- ter from many of those present. Rev. Mr. Campbell continued to at. tack the leadershop of the General Sec - rotary. He said other ministers thought the same as he himself, but did not like to come out and say so. Dr. Orr, Manager of the Industrial Ex- hibition, had been displeased, lie said, with Dr. Chown, the temperance move- ment had proved unsuccessful under the latter, and in other ways Dr. Chown had failed to reach, the speaker thought, the pace on which the committee would place him. St. Petersburg, June 24.—Details of the mutiny of sa rers at Kiev shows that it was only suppressed after a bloody engageemnt at midnight of Juno 17 between the mutineers and loyal troops. .About 70 men were killed or wounded. A spirited diseiresion at once followed, and after lasting for some time Dr. Chown, in a quiet, diplomatic way, stated that in regard to the charges made against him, he believed Rev. Mr. Campbell was not possessed of all the facto. The incident about the stocks had occurred some years ago. Ile was on the very best relations with Dr. Orr, and he was obliged, because of most im- portant negotiations, to be out of this city a great deal during the time of the campaign here for as reduction of licenses. The reference of Mr. Camp- bell to his speech about the Woodbine and the Governor-General did not prove him disloyal, he thought. "It doesn't matter to me if it were the King upon the .throne. I would de- nounce whets]. was wrong," said ]5r. Chown, with vigor. The debate lasted for some time longer. Several took part in it, and eventually on a vote the report com- mending the General Secretary was al- most unanimously adopted. Discuss Orangeville Case. Another discussion took place over a clause which stated that an outrage - ons miscarriage of justice had occurred at Orangeville .recently, and that the Conference should express its strong dis- npprovnl of such circumst:wees ns were reported, to have existed there. Dr. A, D. Watson, in speaking to the subject, said that in his opinion there was far too much of the inonoral iu practice and convereatiol. being allow - 0(1 to go on without being interrupted. The Orangeville ease was nn instance of what, he thought, was occurring else- where, and every ns1tn who wits in any way associated with Christian work should endeavor to suppress such in. terference with the laws of life, One speaker 'characterized the case as one of the most dastardly and outrage• ors evidences of injustice to a commun• ity that had ever been known in the history of Ontario. The recommendation was finally am- ended by striking out the line refering to Orangeville, and the clause was then carried unanimously, "that laws des! gst- which recently swept the country. O'Con- ed for the protection of prenatal life Details of the Trouble. St. Petersburg, June 24.—The mutiny was planned to coincide with a political strike as a reply to the dissolution of parliament involving the railroads, tele- graphs and mails. The decision of the re- volutionary staff here to refrein from demonstrations was disobeyed by the hot headed e:'.ppers. At midnight, June 17, five hundred men' itt a given signal left their beds, disarmed the sentries, hur- riedly dressed, obtained possession of their rifles, broke into an armory, 'secur• ed a number of loaded cartridges and then marched to the camp square and flied a volley in the air. The officer on duty, Captain Akuloff, ran out and addressed the mutineers, permuting them to disperse. Ile then called out an- other battalion, drew the men up and led a charge on the mutineers' ordering them to surrender, Upon their refusal to do so Captain Akuloff ordered the troops to fire and fell dead himself nt the first volley. The fighting continued for several min- utes. Ilnlf a dozen soldiers were killed and sixty were wounded, Finally the mu- tineers, who had no officers, no leaders and no plana, wavered and fled. Two hundred and fifty were captured, but one hundred and ninety-three eluded pureuit and hid in the city, The mutiny nt Kiev was arranged by Shefohenko, a revolutionist of good fam- ily, who entered the army as a volueteer for the purpose of undermining discip. line and won over many of his comrades, but when be raised the standard of re- volt they were frightened and the little band of ringleaders was overpowered, Three bombs were found in Sheto- henko's tent, All the mutineers will be tried by court-martial. The workmen employed in a big fac- tory at Kiev struck after the mutiny, but they have not yet been joined by employees of other factories. Gen, Sukhomlinoff, the commander of Kiev, is taking the most energetic mea- sures to arrest the fugitives pir the leaders of the movement, IIur111iTeds of houses have been searched, and 93 elti- zens have been arrested, among them being officials of the railway and tole - graph service and the editors of news- papers. Numerous other arrests have been made in Kiev, and a number of bombs were found, but order is now restored, The city is in the hands of the military. Military troubles also have broken out among the troops of the Third Infantry Division stationed at Ka.laga. The workmen of Moscow are nlso be- coming restless, and the commandant of that city has brought twenty•two com- panies of infantry into the place to gt'erawe the men, Several big meetings of workmen in the Moscow suburbs have broken up.

When news of the engagement leaked out McAndrews' relatives raised a storm of protest, and they used every persua- sion to prevent the old gentleman carry- ing out his intentions. Their 'rotate met with no result at first, however. The pair continued to be as deeply in love as ever. The Royal house was pur- chased and Mr. McAndrews spent a con- siderable amount of money on it in the way of improvements, paying back taxes, etc. The wedding day came, but there was no wedding. Something had gond wrong, it was whispered among the townspeo- ple. It was known that Mr. McAn- drews' health had broken down. Soon there wore clear evidences of estrange- ment between the couple, Mrs. Royal asked McAndrews to fulfill his agree- ment with her to hand over the deed of her home, He refused, it appears, and instead gave the property to his half. brother, Thomas Freel. Thomas Freel brought suit against Mrs. Royal to recover the property, and the case was set for trial at the Spring Assizes at Welland. The case was eh - larged and transferred to St. Cathar- ines in order that McAndrews could be trade a party in the suit. Mrs, Royal in her evidence declared that the wedding had been broken off through no act or fault of here, She was quite willing to abide by every con- dition of the contract. The home would still be hers, she claimed, had not Me - Andrews appeared with his promises of marriage, as the mortgagees were not pressing for payment of the principal, and so far as they were concerned she might have remained in possestifon to the end of her days, paying the interest on the mortgage merely. Through the actions of McAndrews she now hue noth- ing. Mr. Justice Mulock reserved jedg- ment. "Why not bring an action for breach of promise against McAndrews?" his Lordship suggested. Mr. A. C. Kingstone, counsel for Mrs. Royal, replied that this would hardly be possible, in view of McAndrews' weakened mental and physical condition. The present action seemed to be their only recourse, The Judge promised to decide shortly. ssiss CHLOROFORM WAS FATAL. SUIT TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF A HOUSE.

They have seen the ships of youth rotting on the shoals of drink. They are aware of the fact that the (moderate drinker of to -day, if not the drunkard of to -mor- row, is gradually shorn of his powers and has Tess power to work with and less time to live than the total abstainer, They who patronize the saloon will have node of this. But employers demand sobriety from their employees; they claim tiat n man ('nnnot, 118 a rule, touch aleolmnl and ploy for any length of titne n successful port in any department of human activity. They assert that the un(slcrate use of alcohol is 11 client, and OA morally and physiologically it is keyed to the opposite of moderation. Even n ntodernte use of alcohol is in- jurious to vitality. It is out of place when used for nny other purpose than a nmedical, chemic11 or nrtistic purpose; it is not n food; it is the most insidious. destroyer of health, happiness and life. This is the verdict of the physiologist. We commend it to our render.
