MATTER That NEEDS ATTENTION.
Failing Canadian Medical Students Prac-
tic.Dg in the United states.

WASHINGTON, April i.--The subject of
the practice Of medicine in :he United
States by Canadian medical students who
have failed to pass the examinations re-
quired to admit them to practice in the
province of Ontario is brought to the at
tention Of the state department by re-
port from Consul Twitchell, at Kingston,
Canada The consul says that during the
year 1894 100 students were graduated
from the Ontario medical college. OF
these fifty-th three passed the examination
required by the medical council of the
government before allowed to practice in
Canada.
The other forty-sevcn the consul thinks
probably went tn the United States, where
graduation frcm a medical college, per-
mits them to practice in most of the states
without further examination. This prac-
tice, he says, has been going on for years,
the less competent students coming here
and the more competent remaining there.
He suggests legislation by the several
states to put an end to the custom. The
Ontario government has recently pro-
hibited physicians living in the United
States from attending patients in Canada
on the ground of their presumably poorer
qualifications.

Three Prisoners Escape from Penitentiary
but Are kecaptured.
LOUISVILLE, April A special to The
Courier Journal from Kuttawa, Ky,
Says: The most daring but unsuccessful
attempt to escape from the Eddyville pen
itentiary ever made was when Tom
Mitchell, Riley Mccoy and Hiram Bonar
made a desperate break. They had in
some way procured two pistols and when
the gate was open to let tramway car
enter they opened fire on the guard and
made u break for liberty.
The guard. returned the fire, wounding
two of them, but they continued their
flight. They were not captured until they
had gotten a mile from the prison. At
least 1uO shots had been fired and when
they were finally captured it was found
that Mccoy and Mitchell were dangerous
ly, if not fatally, shot. None of the
guards or citizens were wounded. Mccoy
and Bonar belong to the notorious Mccoy
Hatfield gang of eastern Kentucky and
Mitchell is a desperate and murderer sent
up from Bardstown. Mccoy was serving z
a twenty-one-year sentence and the Others
are life men.

JURY IN TAYLOR CASE.
No Verdict Yet Causes Ugly Rumors ON

the Street.
CAIRoLLTON, Mo-, April 4-When the
jury before which was tried the case of
the state VS.. William p and George +.
Taylor for the murder of the Weeks fam
lily retired it was announced they would
not begin deliberating on their verdict
until morning. Up to 2 o'clock in the
afternoon they had made no report and
nothing has come from the juryroom to
indicate how they stand on a verdict. The
fact that they have not yet reached a con-
clusion indicates that they are not all for
conviction.
There are ugly rumors on the streets
and the town is full of men from Linn
and Sullivan counties who believe the
Taylors guilty and who will not quietly
accept any other verdict. The rumor
most melting to the organization of n
mob is that two of the jurors have been
bribed-paid 81, 5O0-to prevent conviction
by ''hung" jury, if they cannot bring
about an acquittaL This story is in every
mouth and finds general credence.

That Seem to Indicate the Existence of .
Big Co tract tor Uncle Sam.
One of these diplomatic representatives,
in speaking on this subject. remarked that
most Of the southern republics were stag
gering under foreign debts and were un-
able longer to meet their obligations.
They could not meet the interest on these
debts; much less could they pay of the
principal, owing to the terrible CONNER
cial depression Some OF these countries
had defaulted on their interest on foreign
debts and in Others. notably Costa Rica,
1t was now proposed to rcpudiate at least
half of the debt. The question confront
ing these countries is whether the United
States will stand by and permit the cred
itor nations of Europe TO collect those
debts by force.
Meanwhile to strengthen their claim
for protection upon the United States
there is u progress in the smaller and
weaker rel lEblics n movement to entangle
their interests with our own so as to make
1t matter of deep concern to our people
should any European power attack them.
The first indication of this policy was
seen in the claim of San Domingo to ex-
emption from the French demand upon
her revenues on the ground that these
had all been farmed out to an American
corporation which would be ruined by
compliance with the French demand
Then there is the recent concession
made to an American corporation to
Venezuela to force the United States into
the issue between her and Great Britain
by motives of direct self interest, and Tn
other countries there has been adopted q
policy of farming out to syndicates certain
privileges, such as the right to import to
bacco and opium and the collection oi
customs duties

Negro Murderer Lynched.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 4-William
Rawles, colored, was found guilty by a
coroner's jury of the murder of Mr.. Kaul,
small shopkeeper. The prisoner was
guarded while awaiting the train for
Gainesville, where the regular tria!
would have taken place. A mob soon
gathered, overpowered the guards, and
lynched Rawles. The presumption is
that Rawles murdered kaul for a small
amount of money that the latter was car
rying home after the days business.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-There is reason
TO believe that the British government
has given our Ambassador Bayard to un-
derstand, IN response to his representa-
tions in the Venezuelan boundary matter,
on his suggestion that it be submitted to
arbitration, that it must persist in regard
ing the subject as one in which only Great
Britain and Venezuela are concerned. OF
course the idea was set out very
automatically and courteously, 50 as
to avoid giving ohcnse as far as possible
while still making it plain that the Unit
ed States could not be regarded as having
any proper interest in the matter. So. as
1t stands, the British government
still insists upon its absolute title and
right to occupy all of the territory to tie
eastward of the Schomberg line while
protesting n willingness to submit to
arbitration its claims to the lands lying
west Of that line.
Suggestion of n Prote ectoratc.
This was tho offer made to Venezuela
years ago and it has not been modified in
any respect since, notwithstanding Bay
ards efforts. 1t has been intimated that
the United States might acquire a right
to intervene in behalf of Venezuela by de-
claring n protectorate over that country

this suggestion is at least one of the great
European powers. which would he glad

countries Of South and Central America
placed on n stable basis SO that it might
look TO some thoroughly responsible,
highly civilized government to insure the

But To conccde the necessity for such a
prutectorate rs a prerequisite to interfer-
ing to prevent the acquisition OF Amer
lean territory by any European power
would amount to rcnunciition of the
Monroe Doctrine By the United States,
and this cannot be contemplated by the
administration. There are indications
that the British foreign Office officials are
willing to discuss this feature of the case

MoDeANTowNN. Ky, April 4-Morgan- f.
town is in fever of excitement over the
murder of Major A. j. Hamilton, the IA
nous originator and executor of the es-
cape from Libby prison in 1864. Sam
Spencer has been arrested and placed in
Jail with evidence against him. Alfred
Belcher, who was with Spencer, says
Spencer is the man who fired the shot.
Major Hamilton's name is famous
throughout the country and he has re-
ceived many notices from the magazines
in the United States.
Hamilton, Spencer and Bclcher were re-
ported to have been drinking in a saloon
together late at night and the murder is
supposed to have followed drunken
quarrel.
Escape from Libby Prison.
The escape of Major Hamilton and his
1Oi associates from the famous old Libby
prison at Richmond, Va, Is one of the
most interesting incidents of the civil
war. Major Hamilton was one of the
Twelfth Kentucky cavalry and with him
were confined Captain James \. johnson
of the Eleventh cavalry and Lieutenant {
Ed knoble OF the Twenty-first Kentucky
infantry. They conceived the idea of
tunneling out of the old prison and with
a few crude implements began the task
After digging for forty-five nights they
saw daylight and with them 1Oi other
officers made their escape. The officers
named made their appearance in Louis
vile on the night of March 3. 1861. The
tunnel they dug was fifty-seven feet long
and three in diameter. Many Of those
who escaped were recaptured, however.
