Brash Young Man Got I'm Trouble at
Colonial Beach.
Frank Smith, young man. was stabbed
in the breast yesterday at Colonial Beach
during an alteration with several OF the
colored help at Walcott's Hotel
Arthur Jackson, waiter, was arrested
and charged with infiictiDg the injury. The
stabbing occurred early in the morning dur
ing row Just In the rear OF the barroom.
which was open and doing a rushing busI
ness. Smith and another young man named
Palmer were stopping at Walcott's, and.
it Is alleged, had been drinking enough to-
make them troublesome.
Jackson and several other servants were
in the rear of the building. shucking oysters
fos table use. Smith and Palmer joined
them, and, according to the servants, be-
gan In eat up what had been shucked. Hav.
ing done this, they devOured ea ch oyster
as rapidly as it was placed In the pitcher.
Jackson demonstrated with the men and
they resented the Interference No ono
seems to know exactly how the first blow
was struck, but in two minutes the fight
was on.
jackson was not hurt at all. He said
Smith struck at him and he jumped aside
and Smith hit the house. Kate, strap
plug big colored woman, appeared with a
bleeding face and head and said Smith
struck her. The servants were angry
and threatened to kill Smith.
Mr. Walcott seizel the young man a nd
hurried him into the saloon, where it vas
found that he had been stabbed in the
breast and his head cut with broken
crockery.
The wound In the chest was nearly two
inches deep and it was some time before
the physicians could stop the flow OF blood.
It. was feared he was also bleeding ID
ternally.
Though just able to stand he again ere
ated disturbance after his wound was
dressed. For this he was arrested and
taken before the ma yor and fined $3.50.
He then swore out a warrant against
Jackson and his friends took him to q
cottage, while the officer went after his
assailant. BY the time jackson was Sc
cured Smiths condition had grown worse
and he was unable to appear at the con-
venine of the court in Mayor Wilson's Of
flee. Lawyer Sillers OF this city, represent
ing the defense, asked continuance, and
as there was no objection to this on the
other side the case went over until today.

AN INTERNATIONAL MEMORIAL

A movement is about to be set on foot
having for its object the creation of a
suitable memorial to commemorate the
eminent achievement of Cyrus W. Field,
Sir John Pender, and Sir James Ander-
son in connection with submarine teleg-
raphy. just what form such memorial
should take is lot even suggested at pres
ent, but that the coDsummation of the
same will be worthy of the stupendous
work of these men and the benefit they
have conferred upon mankind, and that it
will enlist general sympathy and co-opera-
ton, is not to lie doubted.
1t is but thirty years since the first
Atlantic cable was laid. In those three
decades ocean telcgraphy has reached a
perfection and assumed proportions which
even Cyrus w Field hardly ventured to
ina gine at the time he began his great
| undertaking. The four quarters OF the
globe have been brought into close COM
munication with each other, and nation
can talk TO nation at moments notice.
Puck's promise to oberon to put a girdle
around the world in forty minutes looks
like poor achievement when compared
with the Transmission, the other day, of
telegraphic message around the globe
in very much less time.
Ocean teiegraphy has stimulated the
commerce of the world Ithes made prac-
tcable enterprises which would be impos
sibie without its aid Through its agency
the pews from the most distant quarters
of the inhabited globe are spread tefore
millions of readers every morning and
every evening. 1t is the climax of such
powerful conception and such gigantic en-
terprise that no memorial can express even
a part of the debt of gratitude that man
kind owes to Field, Pender and Anderson.

IRISH LAND BlLL,s DEFEAT.

- - =
The defest OF the irish land bill in thea
House OF Lords, although 1t was a gov
ernrnent measure, warmly cbampioned hy
Premier Salisbury himself, again places
the hereditary section of the British Par
Lament in fragrant opposition to the popa-
Jar villas expressed by the elective section,
the House OF Commons. The antagonism
question directly affected the landed in
terests and rent rolls of large number. IL
not ma sority, of the upper house, and the
Lords did not hesitate a momentin placing
their personal welfare above that OF the
nation. 1t is the most fragrant Illustration
of class spirit that has been brought to view
for many year. The only humorous fea-
turc about it is that Salisbury is being
treated to a dose of Ills own medicine, for
only Two stort years ago he himself de.
claimed in the House of Lords aSainstthose
clauses of the Morley bill which were
ure aEd were put to sleep in 1896 by the
Lordsupon advice given them by Salisbury
In 1891.
Ordinarily, of course, the government,
when defeated on measure which en-
bodied vital part Of its political pro-
gram, would dissolve parliament and ap-
peal to the country. But Arthur Ealfour,
who had the management of the bill, is
credited with the intention OF getting the
House OF Commons to non-concur in the
amendments made by the lords and then
putting the whole measure to sleep. 1t is
Il very ''lanie and fmpotent coneiusion,'
to be sure, but probably the best tine Bal
fours and Saiisburys can do IL they would
avoid a break in the tory ranks and not ap-
pear to run counter to the interests OF their
class.
One wonders, however, after this ex-
hibition OF utter disregard for the popular
will, how long the English people will
continue to be governed in part by a
fossilized aristocracy whose hold upon
the upper branch of the legislature is not
dependent upon superior knowledge or
ability. but upon the fortuitous circum.
stance OF birth Or royal favor. The Brit
ish House of Lords is both an anachronism
and an anomaly in these days of Popular
progress II is an irresponsible legislative
body and signaily out Of place in a nation
the tenure of office OF whose ministry
rests upon the accord Of the latter with
the popular branch OF the legislature
Hitherto the differences OF the lords have
been always with the commons. Now
that the Tories have begun TO tread upon
each Others toes, their elimination as
factor in governing the British nation
will probably be hastened.
