ToB1N THE MAN WANTED.
Mrs. Hina.ie Identifies Him as the
Man Who Shot Her

1t is now believed that Frank TObin, a
paroled convict, is the man who assaulted
and shot Mrs. Hinkle at Valparaiso. Mrs
Hinkle, who is still alive, identified Tobin
as her assailant. 1t appears that Tobin
was very much smitten with Mrs. HInkle
when she was Miss Addie Edwards, but
his attentions were not appreciated. One
day when he called and got gay her
brother sent couple of loads OF buckshOt
at him. Tobin eSSayed the society of
number of girls, but they thought he was
tough and would have nothing 10 do with
him. about six years ago he was sent uD
for term for attempting TO rob the bank
at Valparaiso. When lie was released on
parole lie attempted to renew social Tela-
tons with the young women, but as be-
lore his attentions were repelled and he
got some grim mental satisfaction in
threatening to shoot the entire female
population i'll the vicinity of Valparaiso
Mrs. Hinkle, who is young woman of
about Is years, has positively identified
TObin with the lower part of his face
covered, as he was when the assault was
made upon her, and has also said that she
believed him to have been her assailant
from other circumstances than his appear
ance.

Colonel Menton's excursion over the
narrowgauge line to Santa Cruz last Sun
day was success in every way. 1t was
largely attended by most respectable
crowd-so largely in fact that no less than
twenty-five cars were needed to accom-
modate all the excursionists, and these
had to be made up into two trains.
most enjoyable day was spent in Santa
Cruz, and every one returned home in
good time. The excursion was under the

r. IN undoubtedly In the realms OF for
eign diplomacy and finance that the new
ministry IS credited with the greatest
strength. although Count Kabsyana at
the home office has created a most favor
able impression since his appointment III
il therefore not surprising 10 nnd the
ministerial pronouncement most closely
scrutinized for what it says on the two
points named. The general opinion seems
to be that the prenaier's manifesto Is
rather remarkable on these lines for what
it omIts. This. at any rate, 10 the general
tendency of criticism offereG-the oeclaTa-
tons were vague. the language high
sounding. the spirit unfInpassioned- FOR
our own part we do not see that there Is
any ground for complaint; the premier
could not do more than generalze, and
the heads OF departments cannot possibly
have mastered the details 50 as 70 draw
up a definite programme Perhaps a
holder note might have been struck with
out any damage to any one being done.
a fair-mindsd man viii consider what was
put forward as u fair indicator or clear
principles firmly held. Count Okuma Is
known to be revising the regulations or
the foreign Office with view to obtaining
smoother working along well-laid lines.
II Is not infrecuently that representatives
abroad have considered their purposes I'M
peded instead of assisted by those at home.
Mr. Hayashi and Mr.. Hara may both have
tales TO tell the count In this matter. But
he wishes to go further. and 10 insure
greater influence abroad. For this pur-
pose Viscount Aold may be brought home
from Berlin, as the one best fitted TO give
a general survey OF diplomatic movements
I'm European courts. Upon his recon-
mendation, IL is thought that instructions
and changes are now waiting What truth
there is in these speculations we do not
pretend to know; Count Okun1a has stated
that no minister Will be retired merely TO
make way for a new nominee; he Is de-
termined to uphold the diplomatic service
above party. But where material differ
ence exists as TO q decided line OF policy.
Men, naturally. the minister abroad must
give way 10 the government at home Sucn
differences are expected In two or three
eases in Europe, and as near Japan as
Seoul and Picking the holders OF posts are
anxious TO get out OF them. Until, then,
Count Okuna has gathered up the reins
firmly and has disposed OF the small OBJ
stacles blocking the wheels of the coach.
we do not see that he can say or do more
than has been said for him by the premier
and done ny himself up to date. Similarly
as 20 national finance. Count Mafsukata
has spoken very explicitly upon things as
they are and as he would have them 70 be.
he has also outlined his chief proposals
for reconciling these two conditions. With
in so short a period OF assuming Office. It
Is impossible for him TO do more.
