fore to be in the line of securing de.
lay of execution for a.suflcient time to
permit such an investigation Of the
Competitor incident as is demanded in
the interests of humanity.
1t is not thought that any attempt
will be made to secure civil trial for
Milton or any of his associates who
may be found to be bona fide Ameri-
cans, the treaty under which such
transfers of jurisdiction have been
hitherto made appearing to have nc
bearing in the present instance. The
first article of the protocol between
the United States and Spain, signed
January IL. 1877, concerning judicial
procedure, provides as follows:
''No citizen of the United States re-
siding in Spain, her ad jacent islands or
her ultramariue possessions charged
with acts of sedition, treason or con-
spiracy against the institutions, the
public security, the integrity of the
territory or against the supreme gov
ernment, or any other crime whatso-
ever, shall be subjected to trial by any
exceptional tribunal, but exclusively
by the ordinary jurisdiction, except in
the case of being captured with arms
in hand"
Under this article many Americans
resident in Cuba in the past year have
had their cases transferred to civil
courts through the intervention O
Consul-General Williams, but there
does not appear to be the slightes
ground for claiming Milton to be ;
resident of Cuba, and the article
cannot, therefore, be made to apply t.
him
The same protocol, however, whicl
was negotiated by Caleb Cushing, pro
vides that those taken with arms il
hand, as excepted in the article
quoted, shall be tried by ordinary coun
Gil of war, shall have counsel to de
fend them and the right to compel tn

A SHINING EXAMPL Of wba,

A SHINING EXAMPLE of what
may be accomplished by never vary
ing devotion to a single purpose is
seen in the history of the Mccormick
Harvesting Machine Co.. Chicago.
For o5 years they have simply been
building grain and grass-cutting ma
chinery, and while there are probably
forty manufacturers in this line, It IS
safe to say that the Mccormick
Company builds one-third of all
the binders, reapers and mowers used
throughout the entire world.
