Lord Douglas Runs Up Against One
Mighty Snas.
A BIT OF LAW is READ TO HIM

dents and the Pencil Pushers
Give II Right Back to
the Noble Scion.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, April 25.-The in
sanity charge against Lord Sholto Doug
las, a son of the Marquis of Queensbury,
was dismissed to-day.
Shortly after his discharge by the court,
Lord Sholto went to the Californian Office
and asked George Weeks. the editor, il
the Chronicle correspondent was employed
there. The reply was that that was pro-
fessonal secret. He left. but soon re-
turned. He was seen to enter the office,
and in remarkably brief space of time
he emerged like a shot, After him came
Weeks and the Office force, apparently
bent on the destruction of the young lord.
few minutes later, his lordship, some-
what ruffied In appearance, entered the
Office Of Justice Fox and informed his
honor that he had assaulted the Chronicle
correspondent. ~ hit him three times i'm

me from behind and put me out. desire
to plead guilty.r Constable Soroy swore
TO the complaint and Douglas was fined
$3.50, the exact costs, and the justice then
read the law. which says he could fine him
Tor battery in any sum not to exceed
$1,000 or Imprisonment not to exceed six
months, or both. Douglas said: "Ah?
Is that so? and / thought S. was the limit.
was informed that was the case"
Weeks gives n very different story of
the encounter. He says Lord Douglas,
after saying he had been publishing
damned lies about him, struck at him.
The lord missed his aim. and, before he
could try again, was thrown into the
street. Douglas left, saying he would
return with his crowd and square things.
Weeks told him he would shoot the first
OF his crowd that entered the building.
His lordship is at present engaged in
hunting for other correspondents.

This Coercion on the Part OF u Powerful
Nation Is a Crime.
New YORK, April 25.-Erederick II. Cou-
dert, who is recognized as the leading
lawer in the practice of international law
In this country and whose services as
counsel to the Bering sea arbitration
commission brought him prominently be-
fore the two continents. was asked for
his views of tho report that force would
be used to compel Nicaragua to accede to
Great Britain's demand. Coudert said !:
s,If were an enemy OF Grert Braair, /
would be glad If she did. Our people
don't want bombardments by foreign peo-
pie on this continent. Whether it Is
against the Monroe doctrine or not, the
American people have a strong feeling on
that subject. They don't like to see a big
nation bullying a little one, even IL the big
one is the United States and the little one
Chill. In the next place, the small repub-
lies on this continent belong to one fam
lily, not by blood, but at least by proxim-
ity-by points of contact and by sympathy
with the example of free government
which we have set.
"It would seem to be wiser policy for
Great Britain to get through with Egypt
before starting on Nicaragua. She is
arousing the resentment of one great
country in Europe and it may not be
prudent for her to inflame the prejudices
of the great nation of the eastern hem
isphere. Bombarding helpless towns is,
at best, brutal and expensive. 1t may
turn out that the expense may be greater
to Great Britain than to Nicaragua.
"The most painful part of IL is that so
great a government should deliberately
take step backward. The whole senti-
ment of the world is against a settlement
of disputes by the old fashioned way of
war, and arbitration is growing to be the
hope of civilization. As the century
closes, cannot help thinking that this
coercion on the part of a powerful nation
against a weak one, which might result
in war, is worse than n blunder-it is n
crime"

A TURN In The AFFAIRS
The Defense Believes II Has a Case
Against the Preacher
AS TO THOSE SIGNATURES
The Minister Makes a Good Witness
IL Nothing EIse-Durrant Spends
His Time In Studying Med
Ical Works.

SAN Francisco. April 25.-Rev. George
Gioson, pastor of Emanuel Baptist
church, was again on the witness stand
to-day In the preliminary examination OF
Theodore Durrant, charged with the muir
der of Minnie Williams. The defense be.
lieves that 1t has a case against the cler-
gyman and will try to show that he and
not Durrant killed both Miss Williams
and Miss Lamont.
On the day preceding the finding of
Blanche Lamont's body her aunt, Mrs.
Noble, received a paper containing the
rings worn by the missing girl. On the
paper were written the names of George
X. King aud Professor Schcrnstein. the
apparent object being to connect these
men with the girls disappearance.
Experts declare the writing to be
the disguised penmanship of Durrant.
In court to-day counsel for the defense
requested Rev. Mr.. Gibson to write
the names of King and Schernstein. The
minister complied, but asked twice how
TO spell Schernstein's name. Gibson was
calm and collected on the stand and was
a good witness. Nothing tangible against
him was developed by cross examination,
and his testimony was concluded.
Albert o. McElroy, aged Is, testified
that on Friday evening, April II. he OBJ
served man resembling Durrant waiting
on corner near the church. Soon a
young woman came along. The man ap-
preached her and shielded her with his
shoulder from the witness observation.
Soon afterwards the witness, who had
passed on. noticed n light moving in the
church. This testimony was corroborated
by Bert Miner. McElroy's companion.
The other evidence adduced was a repe-
tition of that given at the inquest. The
was continued until to-mor-
row at the request of the district attorney.
Durrant has secured n desk and an easy
chair in his cell and spends his time in
studying his notes for his medical exam
nation.

1t appears that those stipulations were
acknowledged by the contracting parties
to the satisfaction of President Lincoln,
although 1t was found necessary after the
close of our own war TO take steps TO ex-
pei Macmillan from Mexico.
The third precedent was found in the
case of the war between Spain and Cnih
in 1866, when, upon being appealed to in
behalf of Chill, in the name of the Mon
roe doctrine, to prevent the bombar iment
of Valparaiso, Secretary Seward wrote to
United States Minister Fitzpatrick at SAM
tiago as follows: "The United States
will maintain and insist with all the de-
cision and energy which are compatible
with our existing neutrality, that
the republic which is accepted

assailed by European powers. But be-
yond this point the United States govern
ment will not 60 nor will it consider itself
hereby bound 60 take part in wars in
which South American republic may
enter with European sovereign. when
the object of the latter IL not the estab-
lishment in the place of the supported
republic of a monarchy under European
prince"
Upon these precedents rests the decision
of the admi nistration to refrain from in

Nicaragua at this stage of the proceed

ing that a brief respite be granted Nicar-
aqua as a means toward the adjustment of

When Harvard Was Young.

Our great colleges all had small begin
nings, and some of them had pretty hard
beginnings, as the following ancient rem
iniscence Of our first university shows:
At first 1t was truly school only and
was taught by one Nathaniel Eaton, q
scholar Of most disreputable memory, who
was discharged by the general court for
"cruel and barbarous beating of Mr.. Ma
thaniel Briscoe and for other neglecting
and misusing Of his scholars sentence
Of the most righteous nature.
This brutal man had a rule that "he
would not give over correcting until he
had subdued the party to his will, and
in this exercise he used, on one occasion at
least, as GOV ernor Winthrop tells us, "a
cudgel whic. was walnut tree plant, big
enough to have killed horse and yard
In length"
But this was not all, for, although the
pupils paid him well for their "diet, it
was ordinarily nothing but porridge and
pudding, land that very homely," and
his wif6 denied them butter and cheese
and beer "betwixt meals"
She also forced the young men to make
their beds at times.
Altogether the poor fellows had hard
time dwelling with Master and Mistress

The shawisof Ks.hmtr.

The beautiful arts and manufactures Of
Kashmir ought to be and, In fact, are q
source OF wealth. But this wealth does
not for the most part I'LL the pockets OF the
artisans The trade is almost entirely In
the hands Of a few large firms. These re-
ceive the profit, whilo the workers get only
q fixed and very low wage. / have visited
the shawl manufactures. They are very
curious places. The delicate shawls that
used to be so fashionable ore made almost
IN the open air and mostly by boys of 12
or l3. The looms are set up in rough
wooden sheds, open on three sides, and
the boys sit close together. In front of
each boy are pinned his instructions on q
dirty little scrap Of paper. These are most
laconic-"Three red, five white, one blue"
that is all. The looms might have come
out of the ark, so antiquated and clumsy
ere they. Everything is done by hand, and
could not discover q single contrivance
for saving labor. A fortune awaits him
who can introduce machinery into Kash-
mir.
The moro elaborate patterns take an ex-
traordinary time to make-three years is
not thought too long for a good shawl,
and one days work is practically invisi-
BILE. Another odd arrangement is that the
best shawls are made In great number of
small pieces, and these are then SO skill
fully sewed together that the joins are i'm
perceptible on the right side, though quite
visible on the wrong. In some shawls the
pattern is worked in on the loom, in others
plain piece of material Is taken and en-
broidered by hand so lavishly that the ma
terial itself completely disappears.
