AUGUSTUS B. COSTIGAN CAUSES SENSATION BY HIS SUDDEN MARRIAGE FARMER PRESIDENT GROVER CLEVELAND last night settled all doubts as to his third-term aspirations when, in a speech in New York, at a meeting in the interest of Booker Washington's Tuskegee Institute in Alabama A ] 1C made a palpable bid for Southern support by declaring for white supremacy over the negro. Mr. Cleveland said that neither the emancipation proclamation nor the decree conferring citizenship upon the 'colored man had re moved his slavery-bred shortcomings. The Southern whites, he added, in regarding their peace and prosperity and even the safety of their civilization as interwoven with the negro problem, were entitled to consideration and sympathy.

In a fight I am not worried about his safety, as it does not make any difference whether he gets killed or not." In "explanation" of this General Bald win said: "There is nothing more to it. If a person owned a thoroughbred or fu!l blooded dos and also a cur, is It not nat ural that he would prefer to have the cur killed before the other?" The general added that tho future of the Islands depended on the Introduction of Chinese labor, as the whites were in capable of doing anything by themselves and the natives were too lazy. Anderson read the inscription which es tablished the Identity of the owner of the ornament. It reads: "To Mathilda, from Papa and Mama Youngquist, 1885." An derson and the girl will go to Sweden. Anderson to-day met the girl with a band of Crees. She told him she had been carried away by the Indians after her father and mother had been killed and that since then she had been with the In dians, and was the widow of a member of the band, who was killed in a snow slide several weeks ago. She remembered nothing of her parents, she said, except that they were white, like Anderson. All she had left to remember them by was a little gold ring. There was an in scription on the Inside of this ring, but as she could not read she did not know what it was. ' • When John Anderson, a relative, ap peared in ( thts part of Montana a year ago and made inquiries for a family named Youngqulst no one could aid him. Finally he met an old resident who re membered that, many years ago, Frank Youngqulst had tried to operate a ranch in the extreme northern part of tho State, near what is now the Blackf oot reserva tion. One day the ranch was raided by Cree Indians, who killed Mr. and Mrs. Youngquist and carried away their little baby grrl; Mathilda, then « years of age. KALISELL., Mont..

"If you believe that any one has given Instructions tending to prevent the fullest investigation into the commission of a crime In the United States and the re turning of an Indictment, If the, evidence so warrants, then you should be inspired by an additional determination to do your duty. The court has knowledge of the instructions to which the District At torney alludes It is proper to say that it is my opinion that there has been no In tention of encroaching upon your sworn duty of the judicial domain." j The testimony submitted last December regarding the smuggling cases pointed fo a dozen prominent officials of tho navy, array and insular government and citizens being Implicated In tho charges.

We have asked the District Attorney About the matter and he refused to bring it up. alleging that ho had received cer tain Instructions. We now ask the judge if we have a right to information In spite of the District Attorney's refusal." Judge Holt had prepared . a written charge, the reading of which caused a sensation. He said in part: SAN JUAN, P. R-, April 11— The grand jury is investigating the smuggling eases in which officers of the United States navy and other prominent men are in volved, notwithstanding the instructions which, it is said. District Attorney Pet tingill has received from the Department of Justice in Washington not to present information to the srand jury at this term. The press and the natives have practically • demanded an Investigation, inasmuch as during the last term a na tive merchant named Ricardo Armendo was sentenced to a year's conltncment In the penitentiary and a fine of $100 for having contraband liquor in his posses sion. This afternoon the grand Jury came inio court and a;kcd for Information. The foreman said: FORMER PRESIDENT WHO SEKMS TO ASPIRE TO RE^" GAIN OFFICE. Washington. Defies Remarkable In structions From PORTO RICO GRAND JURY REFUSES TO SHIELD OFFENDERS While the fight continued and after the shot had been fired the robber, dlsplay ing-"remarkable nerve, slipped his hand Into his victim's pocket and took out three silver dollars, which he held on to until Orrin G. Immons, employed in an auto mobile establishment on Larkin street and residing at 219 Hyde street, hastened to the spot and gave his assistance to the wounded man. Immons was trying to wrench the pistol from the robber's grasp when Officers Keohane and Slattery, attracted by the report of the pistol, ran to the scene. Keohane arrived first and about the time Gilkfccc, overcome with weakness and pain, sank to the sidewalk, but still clinging to the man who had shot him. As the policeman approached Milton sought to escape. He tried to shako off the clutch of the saloonman, and found no opportunity to again use his plstoi, being prevented bv Immons. Keohane and the robber came together. Gilleece. now lying gasping on the sldc *walk, begged them to arrest his assail ant and excitedly accused him of tho crime. Milton placed the pistol against tho .officer's breast and pulled the trigger, but the cartridge failed to explode, and tho desperate man fought with renewed efforts to gain his freedom. After several moments of struggling the highwayman lay. alongside his victim, manacled, and the ambulance and the pa trol wagon . were' called. Gilleece was found, at the Central Emergency, HoBpI tal, to be seriously wounded and may not survive the shock, owing to his age. At the prison skeleton keys, counterfeit money and a "jlmmle" were found in the possession of the robber. Tho jimmy had the appearance of hav ing been recently used and the police think that Milton had committed a bur glary buf'a short .time before he held Gilleece ; up. He, js an opium fiend and well known at police headquarters. At the prison he feigned drunkenness and refused to talk of the crime. Finally the highwayman shook off the other's hold on the'pistol and fired. The bullet struck Gilleece In the right leg, above the knee, and shattered the bone. The injured man struggled on, never los ing his grasp on his assailant and keep ing up his shrieks for help. SHOOTS HIS VICTIM. • The saloonman grappled with the crim inal and the two locked In a struggle for life or death. Gilleece had been brought to a sudden realization of his plight ar.d fought with all the strength he had. The footpad fought back with beastltke feroc ity. Several times did the thug try to kill, but each time Gilleece turned the revolver aside or held It above his head. Then the victim shouted for "help, but few heard him, and he battled for mo ments that seemed hours with no hope of assistance. A he.avy-sct man, wearing a sl*ueh hat, stepped out of an alley. .He displayed a. revolver and lost no time In giving his command: "Hftnds up and give me what money you have." - For a moment Gilleece was startled. Ho looked at the highwayman and hesi tated. It did not dawn on him that the order was imperative and he did not real ize what part the loaded revolver might play in the affair. At length Jie conclud ed it was all a joke perpetrated by some friends and resolved to treat It as such. Then Gilleece, confronted by a desper ate man, to whom human life was worth scarcely more than a sang, laughed in the muzzle of the revolver that was beld close to his face. With a jocose remark he attempted to pass on his way and outwit the supposed tricksters, but the highwayman meant business and the laugh to him was the signal for an at tack. Blow after blow he rained on the old man's head with the barrel of the weapon. THOUGHT IT A JOKE. When Gilleece reached Eleventh street he turned toward Mission. It was quite dark there. An old-time footpad, advanced in years and hoary in crime, added a desperate deed to his career early this morning, was captured and taken to prison. In an effort to rob a saloon man whom he had followed from his place of business he used a pistol with telling effect, shooting his victim and later attempting to murder a police officer who assisted in hia- tak ing. It was only after a desperate battle that he was disarmed and manacled and his name, Henry E. Milton, placed on the prison register. After the business of the evening had ceased James Gilleece, a saloonkeeper, 60 years of age, whose place of business is at 31 Ninth street, closed hia doors and started for his home at 16 Eleventh street. Before his doors were barred GUlecce ob served a stranger watching the place, but the latter's actions were not of a sort to arouse* suspicion and the liquor man thought no more of the matter and went on his way as he was accustomed to do.
