E~ Looking Up Some Prccedents.
The department of state is moving with
the Spanish government based on the fir
ing By a Spanish cruiser at the American
steamship Ailianca. In the meantime the
officials are industriously looking up pre-
ceients for their guidance, and Mr.. Uhl,
who is still acting as secretary of state
during the continued illness of Secretary
Gresham, is in frequent consultation with
his superior at his rooms at his kotei
One of the precedents which has been un-
earthed and brought to the attention of
the acting secretary as having a direct
bearing upon the Ailianca incident was
found in the proceedings of the Alabama
claims commission.
One Found That Seems to Fit.
In one of the decisions announced by
Judge French the court held that there
was no authority for the stoppage or de-
tention of a mail steamer whicn is pursu
ing her usual route, even if that route lay
at places within the three mile short limit
and SO within the marine jurisdiction of
the power seeking to stop the ship. If this
is held to be sound doctrine then of
course the Spanish government will
make reparation for the action of its
cruiser, even should it appear that the Al.
lianca was within three miles of Cape
Maysia, as the Spanish minister here be-
lievcs.
Sent No Sinister Warning to Spain.
Probably based on the Alabama deci-
sion above referred to rumor was in cir
culation to the effect that the state de-
partment had sent a sinister warning to
the Spanish government to the effect that
declaration of war would follow a repe-
tition of the Alliance affair. Acting Sec
retary Uhl said that he had no further in
formation to give to the press than he
had already given out, and taking their
cue from him the other officials of the
state department declined to say anything
about the Allianca. The story failed to
find much credence.

The Placing oi $500. 600 Insurance on Her

TORONTO, Ont, Feb S.-Tho life insur-
hncc men of this city are discussing a
strange case which has just come to light
of an alleged attempt to insure the life of
young married woman i'm various com
panies for S30l,O00 which failed because
when half of the insurance had been
placed the woman became alarmed en-
gagged o lawyer to secure the cancellation
of the policies and had a detective en-
ployed TO guard her night and day. The
issuance of a writ by Horn & Barrett, bar
risters, against the New York Mutual
Life Insurance company to effect the can
collation. of policy for $50 900 on the life
of Mrs. Harry p. Hyams made public the
story
Mrs. Hyams is "a years of age, and the
wife of a jewish broker and money lender.
The latter came here nine years ago with
his twin brother. from New Orleans. They
conducted "A warehouse in Colborne street.
In their employ was q young man named

1T is a coincidence specially worth
noting that just as the turn for the
better occurs in the financial world, when
gold intended for export is returned to
Che treasury, the site of new town to
be called Gold City has been staked off
near Salt Lake, and described as the
rival of Cripple Creek, in Colorado. The
discoveries there have given old miners
visions of wealth. Let us hope that they
will be realized, and that Gold City will
be indeed the rival of Cripple Greek.
That was staked off in 1891, during the
next year passed through the speculative
fever incident to the infancy of all such,
and now, in spite of all it suffered from
the labor troubles last year, is full of life
and hope, and more confident than ever
shat its mines are full of gold.

TEXAS sets a good example to other
Southern states by the introduction into
her Legislature Of bill to impose penal
ties upon lynching It provides that the
county in which the crime takes place
shall be held peouuiarily responsible and
shall pay to the legal representatives of
the victim a sum not less than 50 900. 1t
also DEGREES that the Sheriff who lets a
prisoner escape, unless he is wounded and
Tiisabledin the effort to retain him, shall
be at once deprived of his office. Probably
a stronger local sentiment against this
familiar Southern practice would be
aroused by the prospect of having to pay
Cor it than by any other means which
could be applied. What the Legislature
will do with the bill remains to be seen.
1t may contain members who have ere
while engaged in the practire, either in
defence of public morals or for pastime,
as If it were on a par with golf or cricket,
and these would probably vote with the
opposition for the purpose Of sustaining a
principle. But it cannot be supposed that
they are in anything like a majority. It
ls to be hoped that the bill will pass and
similar statutes be enacted by the sister
commonweslths Of that immense South.

an empire in herself and qualified to set a
