tate OF one Joseph Ball of Philadelphia,
which is supposed TO he held in trust in

stated that eX-Prcsident Harrison was
Interested as an attorney i'm the estate.
Many hundreds of people all over the

OUR TIES WITH SIAa TICHTENED
The Commission TO Investigate the Attack
on the Vice Consul Reprimands and
Degrades the Soldiers Concern
ed In the Cowardiy Assault.

= WASHINGTON. oct. l1.-Besldes an
nouncing determination to express
regret TO the United States for the oc-
currence. the Siamese government has
reprimanded and degraded the soldiers
who were concerned in the assault upon
Vice Consul l.. V. I<ellett. stationed at
Bangkok.
This marks the close OF an incident
which has been a subject of considera-
bic diplomatic correspondence between
the United states and Slam during the
last nine months. The Cleveland adj
ministration was informed In January
that Vice Consul Kellett, who had gone
10 Cheang-Mai, a point in the interior
of Siam, TO make an investigation OF
the Cheek claim, had been set upon by
Sianese soldiers and received severe
injuries
The state department sent instrlc-
tions to Minister Barrett. directing him
TO demand immediate reparaton. The
commanding officer OF the gunboat Ma
chlas. which in the meantime had gone
TO Bangkok to assist in protecting
American interests. was also directed to
make an investigation.
The secretary OF state then directed
Minister Barrett 10 press the Slamese
government TO appoint a commission TO
investigate the incident In accordance
with a provision Of the treaty between
the two governments. A request made
in accordance with the instructions was
granted, and the commissioner started
into the interior to make an investiga-
tion some weeks ago.
In his cable to the department Minis
ter Barrett stated that the result OF the
investigation fully justified the position
he had assumed and that the assault
had been proved TO the satisfaction Of
each member of the commission, result
ing in the issuance Of a decree TO that
effect.
Minister Barrett also stated that the
captain, lieutenant and four soldiers
who had assaulted Mr.. Kellett had been
reprimanded, degraded and suspended
without pay for considerable period.
The viceroy at Cheang-M who
ought to have prevented the assault,
was also reprimanded. The commits
sion, according to the minister's dis
patch, found sthat the reclSlessness Of
the soldiers was chiefly responsible for
the occurrence.
The ministers cable concludes by
stating that the natives are very friend
~ disposed toward Americans and that
the result OF the investigation has been
TO tighten the bonds of friendship ex-
listing between the United States and
Siam.
The Cheek claim, out OF which the
Kellett incident grew, will be submit
ted to the arbitration of Lord Chief
Justice Hannum the British member
OF the judiciary stationed at Hong
kong. Lord Chief Justice Hannum will
commence the consideration Of the case
next Friday.

DRAGGED BY THE HEELS.
Chicago Story Of Cruel Treatment TO a
soldler.


CHICAGO oct ia story appears
in a Chicago paper to the effect that
Captain Lowering Of the Fourth in
fautry. stationed at Fort Sheridan,
caused Private Charles Hammond Of
the same regiment to be dragged over
the ground by a rope for distance of
600 yards, badly injurng him.
II is said that Hammond had been
absent from the post without leave, ana
was under arrest in the guardhouse.
He was ordered by Captain Lowering.
who was acting as officer of the day, 10
leave the guardhouse and appear before
a court which was to adjudge his case,
along with the onenses of other petty
offenders.
Hammond refused to leave the guard
house. and the story goes that Loverine
ordered a number OF soldiers TO tie him
and drag him before the court. Ham
mond. Il is said, was thrown down,
bound and then dragged by the heels
before the court. The distance was COO
yards. and Hammond was in badly
used up condition when he arrived az
the bar OF justice.
General Brooke. commanding the de-
partment OF the Missouri, said that nc
had not heard the story and placed no
reliance in II whatever. He expressed
himself as being confident that 10 would
be found untrue.

CECIL COUNTY POLITICALLY ALIVE

BOTH PARTIES PROFESS TO BE
CONFIDENT OF CARRYING THE
COUNTY - INTERESTING JUDI
CIAL FIGHT
Elkton, Nd, Oct 11.-But three
weeks remain Of the campaign, and
from now on both the Democratic and
Republican parties will struggle hard
TO win the victory on November 2. The
most interest is centered in the election
of the legislative ticket, which will
take part in the election of a senator
to succeed Senator Arthur p. German.
The Republicans are making more OF a
fight on this score than their oppo-
nents, and express themselves certain
of winning. The Democrats, on the
other hand, are making a vigorous
fight for the entire ticket. and the lead
ers profess to be confident of carrying
the county by an old-time majority OF
at least 400.
The gold Democrats. who last year
voted for Palmer or Mckinley, have re-
turned to the fold and are supporting
the ticket. and the silver Republicans
who deserted their party for Bryan last
year are to be found this year with the
Republicans. While a huge cry is be-
| ing made in some parts Of the state
against German, the senior senator
does not appear to be an issue at all in
this county.
Another interesting fight in progress
is the judicial fight in this, the Second
judicial circuit, which includes the
counties Cf Cecil Kent. Queen Anne,
Talbot and Caroline This circuit at
the last election, fifteen years ago, was
strongly Democratic and nomination
was equivalent to election, but things
are not so now. The counties have
from year to year become more evenly
i divided, until at this election it is hard
to predict just which ticket will be sue
cessful. Cecl Kent, Talbot and Caro-
i line have in the past two years given
Republican majorities, Queen Anne
alone standing in the Democratic col
umn. The refusal at the nomination OF
the Judges to recognize Queen Anne
4 county. who had a strong candidate
has caused considerable dissatisfaction
throughout that county, and indeed il
would not be surprising to see the for
mer Democratic majority Of 500 re-
duced to 300 this Fall. If such should
occur the Republicans are likely to win
I as Caroline and Kent counties will, in
all probability, return Republican ma
jorities.
The Democrats in the county claim
, that by the new registration they have
/ gained at least 200 Of the new voters.
j, There are several cases of scarle
fever in North East, this county but OF
{ a mild form.
