ROCHESTER On. ", March 20
Richard Black of the clothing firm of
Black & Meyer, in North Paul street,
was the victim of an attempted assas-
sination this noon as he was on his way
to lunch. The would-be assassin is Leon
Rosenbaum, u years of age, a son OF
Mr.. Rosenbaum of the firm of Seel,
Rosenbaum & Steefel, clothing manu-
facturers, whose factory is near that
of Black & Meyer.
When Mr.. Black crossed Andrews
street he passed Mr.. Rosenbaum and
greeted the boy with Good morning )"
He had taken but few steps when a
pistol shot rang out and he felt some
thing strike him in the back. Turning,
he exclaimed, my God, what are you
shooting me for?" Rosenbaum contin-
ued to fire, and Mr.. Black held his UNI
brella in front of him in an effort to
protect himself from the flying bullets.
Three shots were fired, the young man
being within ten feet of his victim.
A large crowd gathered and Rosen-
baum escaped up an alley-way. Mr.
Black walked to his house near by and
an examination of his back showed a
bullet hole through his coat and vest,
and the vest buckle had been shat
tered. This evidently saved his life
The boy is thought to be insane, as the
families of Black and Rosenbaum are
on intimate terms.

MOUNT ST. ELIAS.
Canadians Claim That 1t is In Their
TerrffOry.


OTTAWA (Ont), March 26.-The
joint report of the International Bound
airy Commissioners appointed to ascer-
tain facts and data necessary to the
permanent delimitation Of the boundary
line between Alaska and Canada has
been presented to Parliament. The re-
port shows that the surveyors of the
two countries agree approximately in
their observations. The summit of Mt.
st. Elias is found TO be 2.41 statute
miles east of the 141st meridian, that is
to say, in Canadian territory,
NOT IN CANADIAN TERRITORY.
WASHINGTON, March 26.--Mt. st.
Elias is not in Canadian territory, to-
days report from Ottawa to the con-
trary, Notwithstanding. General Duff
field, Superintendent of the Coast Geo.
detic Survey, and the representative of
the United States on the Boundary
Commission whose report has been pre-
scented to the Canadian Parliament,
says that while it is true that the
mountain is 2.41 statute miles east Of
the 14lst meridian, it is furthermore
certain that it's highest elevation is ex-
actly ten marine leagues from the coast,
and therefore 1t is happily one of the
chief boundary monuments between
American and British possessions. The
records of the official surveyors estab-
lish this beyond question.

Inhuman Treatment of Father
Toward His Son.
CINCINNATI, March ga special to
the Post from Louisville says: A
case of the most inhuman treatment of
father to son came to light this af-
ternoon, when Ebert Hendon, II years
old, was brought here by minister and
several other gentlemen.
For two years the boy had been
chained to the floor of stable, and
only on a few occasions was he allowed
the freedom of the lot, and then it was
under the guard of some member of the
family.
The boy lives with his father, William
Hendon, about two miles from the city.
About two years ago he ran away.
and when his father found him he said
the boy should not repeat it and, it Is
claimed, securing a chain, he welded 1t
to the boys leg and fastened the other
end to the stable floor. The chain was
not more than two feet in length, and
for two years the boy remained pris-
oner. This morning he secured horse
shoe, pried off the staple and ran to
Jeffersontown with the chain still dang
ling to his foot.
Action will be taken to prosecute the
father for his inhuman treatment

CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.
The Conferrees Adopt Those Originally
Passed In the Senate.


Passed In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The con-
ferrees on the Cuban resolutions, after
a short session this afternoon, adopted
the resolutions as they originally passed
the Senate. This shuts out all further
debate in the Senate. The House, it is
believed, will agree to the report with
out further delay. AS reported, the res
olutions are as follows:
Resolved, by the Senate, the House
eoncurring therein, that in the opin-
ion of Congress a condition of public
war exists between the Government
of Spain and the Government pro-
claimed and for some time maintained
by force of arms by the people of Cuba,
and that the United States of America
should maintain a strict neutrality be-
tween the contending Powers, according
to each all the rights of belligerents in
the ports and territory of the United
States
Resilved. further, That the friendly
offices of the United States should be
offered by the President to the Spanish
Government for the recognition of indie
pendence of Cuba.
The action of the five conferrees was
unanimous. Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, the sixth member of the COM
mittee. was absent. Hit, the Chair
man Of the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, will at the first opportunity
call up the conference report and ask
its consideration. 1t will probably be
followed by some debate, but it is not
doubted that it viii be adopted.

mounta,ns of sulphur.

A Godbe, the Ensenada banker, has
recently returned home from a trip,
by way of Yuma, to the great sulphur
deposits in the southern Cocopah range
of mountains on the eastern side of
Lower California. He was accompanied
by Judge Masterson of Yuma. Mr.. Fay
and a party of Cocopah Indian guides.
They went in an open boat down the
Colorado to the mouth of Hardy's Colo
RADIO, thence up that river to the neigh
borhood of the sulphur mines.
Godbe describes these deposits as be-
ing little less than mountains of sui
phur which is 81 per cent pure, and re-
fined sulphur is only SO per cent pure.
All that is necessary to do is to shovel
the sulphur into sacks and ship it away
to the market for ordinary use, espe-
cially for the manufacture of 6ulphuric
acid At one point the deposit rises as
a bluff fifteen feet high and fully $50
feet wide, all of pure sulphur. At the
foot of this shaft has been sunk into
pure sulphur sixty feet deep. He de-
clines to estimate the total quantity of
sulphur, but simply says there is
plenty" His plans are to put the
product on the market Immediately

acted very nicely about it. They did not
want the money unless they thought she
earned il, and SO it was arranged that she
