The latest Missouri tragedy is one Of the
most remarkable in the annals of love or muir
der. Having four daughters. Henry Thomas
could have spared some of them But when
two young men eloped with the two older ones
he went after them with buckshot, killing all
but one daughter. On the way home he learned
that two more of his girls had eloped. These
he soon recovered. but before he could reach
his home unkind fate overlook him in the shape
of q mob and the three daughters, besides hav-
ing no husbands, mourn the loss of a father.

Events at Samoa suggest the strengthening
Of the navy with all speed. the construction Of
bigger cannon at the Washington national gun
foundry, and the immediate concentration Of
all the nations naval force conveniently and
readily available at the scene of controversy.
No war between the United States and Ger
many is likely to result from the affair. Neither
nation can afford to go TO war with the other.
But Germany is at this stage Of the proceed
ings bullying aggressor upon American
personal rights and American property,
and halt should be called and
redress demanded in no uncertain tone. Fuller
Information concerning the Samoan contro-
versy may show that nothing has been done
which explanation and apology on the part of
Germany may not remedy, but the movement
to secure such explanation and apology cannot
be too prompt or too vigorous. The extent of
reparation will be measured by the apparent
earnestness of the United States in the matter.
The indifference and unconcern to aggressions
upon American rights exhibited by representa-
tives of American diplomacy have given
more encouragement to a policy Of con-
temptuous disregard of protests by Ameri-
cans against the acts of foreign governments
than any other fact. In view of the weakness
of our navy Bismark might be pictured as
scorning American resentment and persisting
in policy of injuring American property and
insulting the flag with Tweed's reply to expos
tulation: well what are you going to do
about it?' But the relations of Germany with
other Europeans nations, and the extent of
her merchant marine to be exposed to Ameri-
can privateers in case of war, exercise pow
erful restraining influence. With European
powers so evenly balanced the full weight Of
the United States thrown into either side Of
the scale would send the opposite side flying
into the air. Notwithstanding the con-
temptible military and naval showing of the
United States its latent strength is well appre-
ciated in Europe, and frmness in maintaining
American rights and in demanding redress for
American wrongs on the part of its official
Representatives, coupled with the indication Of
earnestness furnished by a strengthened navy
concentrated at points where American in
terests may be threatened, will almost in
variably result in a peaceable settlement of
difficulties without discredit to the national
honor. Such settlement can doubtless be
obtained in the present case; and no other
should be accepted even though hostilities may
follow. The United Stateswill never cease to
be bullied. if bullying is never resented.

Ark, on a Change OF Venue.
Special Dispatch to The Appeal
IS LITTLE Rock, Ark, March 24.-The
trial Of w. A. Watts, charged with muir
der, ON a change OF venue from Lonoke,
will be called in tho Circuit Court here
tomorrow morning. Watts lives near
Gov. Eagles plantation, in Lonoke Coun-
~. Late in December last the body OF
Watis's daughter. then fifteen years old,
was found, and she was supposed to have
died Of natural causes, but Coroner Bell
exhumcd the body four days after the
burial and found evidence OF cruel treat
meni, which resulted in the arrest Of her
father. who, il Is charged, IL rc-
sponsible for her death. Tho father
gives plausible reason for the evidence
Of cruel treatment found on the body; the
testimony promises 10 be conflicting, ~
there are twenty witnesses 10 testify In the
case. Watts is about fifty years old and
has lived in Lonoko for eight years. His
farm, which adjoins that OF the Governors,
Is ample for the support OF himself, wife
and three living children. The trial will
probably consume four or five days, aud
some startling DEVELOPMENTS arc expected
TO DO brought out. John Lake Black, Of
Lonoke, and Judge i. 4. Vaughn are
counsel for defense.

BOLD BAD BOYS
Make an Unsuccessful Dash for Liberty
at Reform School.


CINCINNATI, o., March 2I.-This morning
about II o'clock thirty-Hve out of 100 boys
at the House OF Refuge made break for
liberty. They were from ten TO fifteen
years old, and we're under four leaders, the
chief OF whom was negro boy. These
boys, when il came time for them TO re-
tire to their rooms preparatory to dinner,
instead OF doing 80 marched in body
armed with baseball bats to the front en-
trance, where they found four guards sta
toned. They demanded free passes, but
were driven back. Then they used bats
and rocks, breaking in windows and doing
damage 10 the extent OF not above twenty
five dollars. They were 80 noisy that their
whooping and shouting alarmed people In
the street outside the walls and caused
wildly exaggerated rumors 10 spread,
which reached the ears OF the police and
caused them 10 voluntarily send two patrol
wagons with fifteen officers TO the scene.
In less than three-fourths Of an hour from
the outburst the four ringleaden were
locked up in their rooms, and everything
was quiet. All except the four conspira.
tons appeared at the dinner table at noon
and at chapel exercises in the afternoon as
usual. The ringleaders were participants
in n similar -outburst two years ago.
Superintendent Oliver says no one was
even slightly hurt, and that there is per-
feet order tonight.

two terrible right and left-hand blows,
and ending the round with clinch.
In the fourth round both men came up
game, McDonald's condition showing to
his advantage. He caught Burgess nap
ping and sent him to his knees with n
heavy upper cut. Hard in-ighting closed
the round, both men bleeding freely.
In the fifth round both men were grog-
gy but commenced business Immediately.
Burgess received another sumner in his
bellows, and returning well-meaning
blow, which was neatly avoided by Nc
Donald ducking. The crowd yelled, "Now
YOU have him, Mac" Burgess replied,
"The game is not over yet" and ending
the round by knocking Mcdonald over
the ropes and going to his corner with a
derisive smile ON his face.
The sixth round was the only dull one
OF the battle. The men spared for wind
In the seventh round the men came up
with a rush, Mcdonald receiving n blow
which nearly felled him. Both slugged
for all they were worth, Mcdonald being
very weak at the close OF the round. The
eighth round was all one-sidcd, Burgess
making regular chopping block OF Nc
Donald, and finally ending the round with
q terrific right-hander on the jaw, knock
ing Mcdonald senseless aud breaking his
law,
