DO NOT LIKE THE WARSHIP
Canadians VIII Not Welcome the
Marbleheai In Nova Scotia
q

HALIFAX. n. s., June a-Referring to
q Washington dispatch announcing that
the cruiser Mlrbiehead had sailed for Nova
Scotia waters TO prevent Gloucester fish
ing vessels destroying the nets of fish,
ermen along the Nova Scotia coast. the
Evening Mail of this city says:
The dispatch Indicates an important
move on the part OF the United States gov
eminent. While the oStenS.ole purpose of
the dispatch of the Marblehead is the pro-
lection OF Canadian fishermen, the opinion
Is generally expressed that the real object
OF the cruisers extraordinary mission Is to
prevent repetitions OF the Frederick Ger
ring seizure. With a United States war
ship cruising IN Nova Scotia waters. the
International situation respecting the
three-miie limit becomes a most delicate
question. How far the Marbiehead would
interfere, II at all, with the seizure of a
Gloucester vessel If found fishing inside
the iaIee-nli,e limit is A question the so
tuition of which can only be imagined.
1t may be that Vice Admiral Erskine may
see ut 10 detail - warship TO keep the Mar
blehead company"

QUICKLY EXECUTED By A MOB.
Negro In Maryland Pays the Penalty
for an Assault.

PRINCESS ANNE, Nd, June 9.--Will-
lam Andrews. the young negro accused or
felonious assault upon Mrs. Benjamin 7.
Kelly, was taken from the sheriff here to-
day and beaten into insensihility, and then
hanged to a tree by a mob. Immediately
after having been tried in court and sem
fenced to death for his crime. Andrews.
who was but 20 years old. came here from
North Carolina, and on May 5. OF this year.
was arrested for assault upon Mrs. Kelly.
AT that time a mob endeayored to lynch
him, but ne was hurried to Baltimore and
confined in the jail in that city until last
night. when he was brought here for trial.
Shortly before noon Andrews was taken
from the Jail TO the courthouse and ar
raigned before Judge Page. He was much
frightened and pleaded guilty. Judge Page
then sentenced him 10 Do hanged, and Sher-
if Nelson. together with Deputy Sheriff
Dryden started to remove the prisoner 10
the Jail. Just as they reached tho outer
door some one shouted:
Come on, boys. let's take the d--n Mig
ger" and rush was made for the sheriff
and the deputy.
Blow after blow with clubs. bludgeons
and pistol butts were rained upon the head
OF the prisoner, in spite OF the efforts of
the officers TO shield him. Judge Page ran
out of the court room. and implored the
crowd to wait and let justice take its
course, but without avail
The sheriff and his deputy were soon
overpowered and the crowd bounced upon
the negro, threw him 10 the ground and
kicked him into insensibility. Meanwhile
rope had been procured, and picking up
the inanimate form, the mob placed the
rope around the neck OF the dying man.
and dragging the body to a tree within a
hundred yards OF the courthouse door,
threw the rope over q limb and swung the
body into the air. Then a dozen bullets
were fired into the body. and II was left
dangling until the coroner ordered IL cut
down.
No attempt at disguise was made by any
of those who participated in the lynching.

$1,000, which the Puebla's owners refused
10 pay. and the puebia was ibeled in
the Federal court. Three months ago the
case was decided favorabiy to the tug
boat company. but notice of appeal was
given by the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company. The fact tina; the mofley has
been paid indicates the Willingness OF

NO AGREEMENT ON HAWAII
Annexation Question tc Be Taken
Up 1t the Earliest Mo-

nent.
WASHINGTON, Juno 9-The senate
committee on finance has not yet been
able to agree upon the form of a pro-
vision in regard to the Hawaiian treaty.
and a member OF the committee today ex-
pressed the opinion that 1t might be nee
essary to hold another caucus to decide
upon a course of action.
There are several propositions under
consideration by the committee. They In
cludc the Endorsement OF the Davis amend
ment for continuing the present treaty in
force without reservation, suggestion to
the president that new treaty should b
negotiated. modifying the terms OF the ex-
listing agreement so as TO render them less
partial to Hawaii, and also proposition
looking to the giving Of years notice
to Hawaii OF the abrogation OF the pres
ent treaty. This latter proposition is I'M
derstood TO originate with Senator Aid
rich, and is antagonized by the special
champions OF Hawaii.
The opinion is freely expressed by SEN
tors that the question OF annexation will
be taken up by the administration as soon
as the tariff is passed.
