Probably not dozen of the place hunters
who have beer waiting anxio1sly around
the Executive Mansion for the past six
weeks have been able TO talk TO the
President. Yesterday he received in the
east room NJ. Patentotre, the French

to bid the President goodbye, and to ex-
press his appreciation of the courtesies
which have been extended him by Off
Gals of this Government during his stay
In Washington. Itwas brief but pleasa ut

As To the Cuban question, Mr.. Harmer is
more guarded, his idea being that this
Government willhave TO proceed NO yly and
| cautiously until it is fully demonstrated
what Spain willdo under It's new cabinetand
with a new captain-general of the island.
Notwithstanding the report that the
President had polled the Senate, and found
the requisite two-thirds in favor Of tht
annexation of Haw waii, there will, never
theless, be opposition, which will produce
at least considerable delay in the ratifica-
ton OF the proposed treaty The opposi

Senators, two Republicans and a Demo

IMPOSES MAXIMUM PENALTY.
Judge Bigham Expresses His Views
of Shooting Cnses.

OF SuoOllnS Chses.
In the case of William Perry, the colored
Toy recently found guilty Of assault
with Intent tc Kill, Judge Bingham yester-
day, in passing sentence, made several
remarks as to the frequency of this
crime recently in the District.
The hoy fired three times at another
colored man, named Brooks. One shot
hit Brooks in the arm, while one hit d
bystander in the head. A motion for Il
new trial was made by Perry's lawyer,
Mr.. P. W. Friobil, and IL was denied.
Mr.. Frlobil then asked the court to
impose a light sentence.
Judge Bingham said; ut has alwa va
been my practice in this court to give
the maximum penalty for this crime. In
my opinion, even the maximum is not suf-
ficient, where there is proven intent to
take human life.
Il can look with leniency on men con
victed OF larceny or other crimes, evol2-
ing merely property, but human life must
be protected
The Judge imposed the maximum sen
tence, eight years in the peuftentiary.

mated that 95 out OF every 100 abandon

has been made more apparent by the re-

sirable mar-of-war's men on the Great
