Henry Stevens Arrested for Shooting
"a MAN Three Years Ago.

Henry Stevens, sixty-two years old, of
Quarryville, Sussex County, N. j., is a
prisoner at the Third precinct station
house. He is wanted in Quarryville for
attempting to kill Patrick Quirk, a
resident of that place. About three years
ago, Stevens says, Quirk ran off with
his wife to Port Jervis, and lived with
her there, and afterwards in Newark
When the two runaways returned to
Quarryyille, Stevens took his shot gun,
;afl6 went to look for Quirk and hisevsife..
He shot Quirk in the right shoulder,
and, thinking he had killed him, left
the village
Stevens then wandered through the
country, finally ending his journey at
No. 80S West Newark avenue, the home
of his daughter Ida. His daughter was
unfaithful to him, and notified the police
of his whereabouts, and Stevens was ar
rested last night. He will be taken to
Quarryville today. Quirk has recovered
from the gun shot wound, and is now
living at ease with Stevens wife in
Quarryville.

Recent Rulings Announced by John M.
Reynolds, Assistant Secretary of the In
terror.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Assistant
Secretary of the Interior John M.
Reynolds has reversed the decision of
the commissioner Of pensions and Or
dered refunded fee to Martin Met
calf, an attorney of Battle Creek,
Mich, who received the fee from q
pensioner who was granted an in
crease for disability, but the fee of the
attorney was for other services. The
bureau held that the fee was paid for
supposed services in securing the in
crease. In this connection Judge Rey-
nolds held that the bureau of pensions
has no authority to demand the re-
fundment of fee except where the
record shows one has been allowed and
paid through error, fraud or mistake,
or where one has been legally allowed
but paid to an attorney not entitled
thereto.
In the case of Josie Ann Meyers, a
minor of former wife of soldier,
Judge Reynolds holds that the second
wife of the soldier is entitled, under
the act of June 81, 1890, to a pension
for the minor as long as the second
wife is charged with his maintenance,
but where the second wife does not
support the child it can receive pen
sion which shall be in charge of q
guardian.

Spanish Bayonets Prove Too Much for In
SurGents, Who are Completely Routed.
New YORK, Nov. IA special cable
70 the Herald from Havana says: Strict
reserve has been observed in regard to
the movements of the Spanish columns
since Sunday, but it is officially re-
ported that the government forces
under Gen. Aldave have repulsed Ma
eeo's insurgent division. The repulse
took place at point to which Maceo
had advanced between Meron and Ciego
de Avilla, in the province of Puerto
Principe. There, it is reported, Maceo
attempted to cross a military railroad
and was Immediately attacked. Lieut..
Martinez Ferron was in command of
Gen. Aldave's advance guard.
Maceo's advance column was much
superior in point of numbers and the
engagement was soon at close quarters.
The bayonets of the Spaniards proved
too much for the rebels, armed princi-
pally with machetes, and the rout was
complete. The insurgents hastily re-
treated in great confusion, carrying
many wounded men off the field and
leaving their dead. The government
lost three killed and nine wounded, in
cluding Lieut.. Fernandez Castro, who,
after he had received the machete
thrust, killed four insurgents with his
own hands

TRADE RELATIONS

Between Japan, China and the United
States Show n Big Balance Against Us.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Consul Cen
eral Jernigan, writing the department
Of state from Shanghai on labor and
wages in China, says that during the
last fiscal year the value of trade rela-
tions between Japan and the United
States were estimated at $2S, OOO, 900,
with a balance of $40, 900, 900 against us.
A comparison between Japan and Great
Britain shows balance in favor of
Great Britain about as large as the
balance against US. During the same
period the value of trade between the
United States and China is placed at
$24, 900 900, with balance of SIG, ,OO0,-
900 against us, while Great Britain
checks off large balances in her favor.
European nations are sustaining the
efforts Of their merchants more sub
Stantially than the American merchant
Is sustained. Our merchants in compe-
titiOn for Asiatie trade have to rely
upon their own skill and energy, while
the merchants of Europe are encour-
aged by the aid given to the great
steamship lines which carry their flags
and pour the productions of Europe
into Asiatic ports.
