SOME one attempted to break into
Mcconnell & Bakers store last Thurs
day night. Mr.. Mcconnell and DR..
Henry were sleeping in q room over
the store and were aroused by the
noise. The party ran off, but returned
in about an hour to renew his effort to
break into the store. Mr.. Mcconnell
was at the window watching for him
and when lie began his work again
Mr.. Mcconnell fired OH him and he
ran Off leaving at the window three
sacks and a bunch of candy and some
lemons which had been hanging out
at Mr.. J. Z. Franks drug store as a
sign. These articles lie had stolen be-
fore coming to Mcconnell & Bakers
store. From certain signs suspicion
pointed to Al ,l Martin, colored, who
was arreste /, but sufficient amount
of evidence could not be procured to
convict him. Itis to be hoped the
guilty party will yet be found. This
is the second attempt to enter the
same store within less than two weeks,
and the first time the party did get
into the store, but only a few articles
were taken.
TIE Press and Banner has given
the people of our county a riddle as
TO tile drawing Of the juries, and it is
"riddlen fortruc. It is not likely to be
answered soon unless the Board OF
Jury Commissioners say less "abont
distributing the grand jury over the
county, and to try to get the best
men, There is q law for the draw
inc of iurics, and itshould he complied
with. If the law allows the Jury
Commissioners to pass upon the .qual-
ilications of juror, we pity their
Judgment in some cases OF the past.
IT is said Of Il juror that sat upon q
noted case in this county that after
the Solicitor had made an able argu-
mcut OF some length in behalf of the
State, the Juror turning to another Ju-
ror, asked him: (which side did he
sneak on?" This subject of drawing
the inry has been and is still being
talked Of all over the county, and the
sooner it is Strengthened out the better
for our Courts of Justice and the scon-
er the minds of the people will he set
at rest.

Bayard said that it was still in the power
of the president to withdraw the treaty
from the senate, but he had no knowl-
edge that he would withdraw it. CAS-
Stunning the treaty would be rejected, :"
said the secretary, ''the record now
stands in such way that the republic
cans will be responsible entirely for its
rejection and the consequences. 1t is
not trifing matter, but very grave
affair. l have no doubts at all about
the merits of the treaty, and no doubt
as to what the sense of this country will

tary, under that modus vivendi, some
of our fishermen have already secured
license from the Canadian government,
under which they can carry on their
business without molestation until the
licenses expire, possibly fora year. The
modus yiyendi was a proposition that
was made to us by the other side. The
United States has nothing to do with it,
and suppose it would be within the
right of Canada in case the fisheries
treaty is rejected But its continued
existence does not necessarily depend
on the treaty. As to what the future
policy of the government may be" con

much as do. | am no prophet. The
republican senator's have put themselves
down against every possible treaty. The
report of the republican majority in the
senate Judiciary committee on the
treaty, which was prepared by Mr.. Ed
munds, declares that the president has
no right or power to negotiate treaty
without the previous consent of the SEN
ate and the republican senate has said
that the matter is not to be settled by
negotiation on Senator Edmunds' re-
port. suppose the treaty is to be re-
iected. The retaliation act is still law.
1t has been law these twelve months,
and it may be practically applied by the
president at any time.
