Assassination while Driving.
Too Many for Our Comfort.

Special from Ottawa: The dominion
government is about to place three new
cruisers on the upper lakes. One will be
! located on Lake Superior and one at least
on Lake Huron. These boats, it is claimed
are intended solely as revenue cutters, to
protect the fisheries on these lakes from
the illegal and destructive gill and pound
nets. Hon. Mackenzie Bowell minister of
militia, denies that this is in violation of
the Washington treaty, which allows a
certain number Of boats to be maintained
in these waters by each nation. These
cruisers, he explains, will merely be fast
light boats. They will not be heavily
armed, but will carry simply the light
armament necessary for their own protec-
ton. The Constance is 1875 feet long, and
one Of the new vessels, has ram bow. and
special attention has been paid to the ar
rangement Of her bunxers in order to pro-
tect the machinery from shock Two YES
sells of the Constance type are now afioat
The type of vessel is more formidable than
any of the revenue cutters of the United
States, and the fact that England is build
ing these semi war ships for the lake SER
vice has not escaped official attention at
Washington.

Noah Porter Dead.

Noah Porter, ex-president of Yale col
lege, one of the most prominent educators
of the century, is dead. He was born in
Pennington, Conn, December IA, 1911,
where his ancestors settled in 1910. He
graduated at Yale college in 1881, became
master of Hopkins grammar school in
New Haven, and was tutor at Yale in
1885. He studied theology and was
pastor OF Congregational churches in New
Milford, CT, in 1S36-43 and in Springfield,
Mass, in 1896. Then he was appointed
professor of moral philosophy and meta
physics at Yale holding that position
until 1888 and being connected with the
faculty until his death. In 1871 he became
president of the institution, but resigned
in 1886. He was the author of numerous

Don NJ. Not Out for President.

The Washington Star says: In mys-
FERROUS sort of way certain politicians
about Washington have sprung Don M.
Dickinson's name upon the anxious public
as possible presidential candidate. Mr..
Dickinson was called upon by several gen.
tlemen who are identified with the Cleve-
land interest. One Of these gentlemen is
authority for the statement of what oc-
CURED at this informal conference. The
visitors suggested to Mr.. Dickinson that
his name might be put before the Demo-
crat National convention, telling him that
the matter had been talked around consid-
erably and that the suggestion had met
with favor. The positiveness with which
Mr.. Dickinson expressed his conviction
that Cleveland would be the man has given
considerable encouragement to the Cleve-
land men, who have been depressed since the
New York ''snap" convention. 1t is prob
able that what Mr.. Dickinson's friends
are really thinking of is that he may be
placed second on the ticket That is prob
ably what is at the bottom of the business.

ROyaIty's Nightmare.

St. Petersburg cable: While the czarina
and czarowitz were driving on the Vek-
veski prospect, tall man with dark
mustache and wearing loose overcoat ran
cut from the crowd and threw q parcel at
the carriage. He evidently intended that
it should fall inside the window, but II
dropped to the ground several feet from
the rear wheels. The czarina saw the
man take something from under his coat.
She turned pale half rose from her seat
and then sank back on her sons shoulder.
The coachman drove on with all speed,
shouting TO the police on the drive and
pointed 10 the man who hurried off through
the crowd. Several arrests were made
in few minutes but with what result.
cannot be ascertained. The bundle con-
sisted of metal receptacle, containing 9
fluid not yet analysed and covered with
loose black cloth.

The WHY Chinee.

San Francisco special Judge Hawley,
Of the United States circuit court, has up
held the state supreme court, and decided
an important Chinese case in favor of the
celestial and against the local collector.
The petitioner is Mock Chewa, lad Of II,
who last year presented certificate from
the Chinese consulate at Yokohama, and
demanded admission there as a merchant
His papers gave the name of a San Fran
cisco firm in which he had invested SO, 600,
but the collector refused because he claimed
the Chinese consulate in Japan had no
right to issue such papers, and also that
the boys story was incredible. The judges
decision is important, as it establishes the
fact that Chinese consuls residing out of
China may issue certificates which must
be recognized here as evidence Of the right
of holders to land. This means that
Chinese consuls at San Francisco, Vic
toria, Honolulu, Peru, Havana and other
points can all issue certificates.

Heavy Task We'll Performed.

Early in the winter gift of SIS, 900
was made to the trustees of the Kalamazoo
college, Baptist institution, by John ID.
Rockefeller, the Standard oil magnate,
through the American Baptist Educational
society. A proviso was made that in
order to receive this sum the trustees
must raise the sum of $S5, 900 by March
1. After some discussion it was unanim-
ously agreed to place the task of raising
that sum in the hands of Rev. II. E. Man
ming. of the North Baptist church,
Detroit. Rev. Manning went to the work
with will well knowing the hard labor
before him. The result was that on
March the entire sum with the exception
of SIS, 900 was pledged, and the responsible
ity for that was taken by the Baptist Min
isters' association, Of Detroit. The $780,,
900 will be invested and the income used
which will place the college on an ex-
cellent footing. Rev. Manning has re-
turned to his pulpit with the feeling of
relief undoubtedly and was given an ex-
tremely hearty welcome by his congrega-
ton by whom he is greatly respected, as
well as by his acquaintance the state
over, on account of his sterling qualities
as minister and a man.

Chill Is Scared.

A Valparaiso dispatch says: There is
great anxiety here to learn if the United
States government intends to ask Chilli for
all of the indemnity claimed by the Balti-
more's sailors and Published in dispatches.
In response to the news about indemnity
claims, exchange is rapidly failing. The
Gillian government has informed all in
quirers that it has received no intelligence
officially to the effect that such claims will
be pressed by the United States. There
is great surprise among bankers at the
amount asked, and much comment is heard
on all sides. 1t is said that Chill would
be grateful if the United States would sub
stitute dislnterested commission for the
present official representative here, TO in
vestigate the Baltimore affair and other
questions. The real cause for the recent
designations Of several members of the
cabinet is said to be that only a few judges
were appointed who belonged 70 the con-
sentative party.

Name, Wealth and Family Gone.

j. w. Collins president of the defunct
California national bank, shot himself.
Collins, Gen. E. II. Murray and Gen. Hart
had been to lunch together at the Brew
ster. Collins looked pale, but chatted
pleasantly. In a few minutes he left the
table and went direct to his room. A
minute later the report of pistol was
heard, and when the door of his room was
opened Collins was found lying on the
floor with blood streaming over him and a
pistol in his hand. He did not live long
enough to speak TO anyone. He evidently
has been laborng under II great nervous
strain and mental depression for some time.
About two years ago his entire family were
drowned in the bay, and now that he was
financially ruined, and with the charge Of
embezzlement hanging over him, it is
thought he was brought to "a point where
he considered that he had nothing TO live
for.

Abandoned the Ship i'm Mid-Ocean.

Shipping circles of Philadelphia, were
startled by the report of the abandonment
in mid-ocean of the new bark, Invertros-
sachs, involving loss OF upward of $780,
900 to the underwriters. Ten men are
said to have persisted. The news was
received from Captain Deuchers of the
Tanker Bear crew, which vessel has
arrived from Penaut. On the afternoon
of March Captain Deuchers
fell in with the Mendelssohn,
bound from Baltimore to Rotterdam. The
Mendelssohn signalled that she had on
board % of the crew of the Invertrossachs.
The Invertrossachs was manned by crew
of 36 men and it is believed the other 10
have persisted. This is the heaviest loss
sustained by the marine underwriters for
many years. The Invertrossachs, Captain
Taylor in command, sailed from this port
on Feb. l bound for Calcutta, laden with
1,095, 500 gallons of oil in cases valued al
$79,752.

A Banker Lost HIS Family by Drown-

Broke the Standards Backbone.

S. c. T. Dodd, solicitor for the Stand
ard Oil trust, said that the Columbus, o.,
decision which declared that the trust
agreements of the company were illegal,
was an important one as being the first
step toward breaking up the arrangement
by which the stocks OF the several Stand
ard Oil companies in different states and
in foreign countries were bound together
in the trust agreement. This arrangement
was a matter of business convenience.
The decision, if followed in other states,
would simply terminate this convenient
arrangement. The stock of the various
companies would of course still be owned
and controlled as at present. The decision
had followed essentially the decision in
New York against the sugar trust 1t will
be possible to abrogate the trust agree
ment and still carry on the business of the
Standard Oil companies as it is now con-
Quoted.

Prominent Mining Man Suicides.

Daniel Kloeckner, of Houghton, one Of
the most prominent mining men in the

artery in the Office of the Quincy Mining
company of which mine he was clerk for
years. He was found lying on the floor

being an honest and industrious man and
had amassed considerable wealth. He
was secretary of large land and mining
company and was connected with num-
Der of other land companies. The reason
for his suicide has not been found out, but
1t is supposed some of his speculative
actions which turned out unsuccessfully
were the cause of his dependency. He
leaveas family of talented children.
