I stopped at the orchard below my
house and, letting down the bars, led
the horse through the long grass, up
to the barn, so that the sound of hoofs
on the hard roadway might not serve
as warning of my approach.
The animal had not been spared in
the journey to and from the station;
but, pausing not to rub him down, /
slipped blanket over his reeking back
and sides and then quietly and eau,
tiously approached the house.
When | came around the corner I
was startled at discovering the dark
outlines of mans figure motionless
before the cook-house door | stealth
lily approached.
He must have heard me, for he
glanced around, and by his action
brought his face in the full light of
the moon.
1t was Skinner, that treacherous COW
ard. My animosity toward the fellow
was not lessened by the fact that he was
prowlng about my place, and l hope
God will pardon me for the murderous
spirit that arose in my heart. 1t lent
wings to my feet, and in few bounds
/ was upon him.
When he saw he could not escape.
he turned quickly and raised his arm
in defense. He started to say some
thing, but / choked the words in his
throat, for his arms could not stop me,
Ny fingers were steel. and closed about
his windpipe with the grip of a wise.
"You scoundrel, I've got a double
charge against you, and I'll take my pay
now," snarled, between my clencheo
teeth.
He squirmed and struggled, his hands
clutching my wrists, in the vain en-
,deavor to tear loose from my grasp.
Soon one of his arms dropped to his
side, and he seemed to be nearly over
come, for l felt his body gradually sink
ing down. The next instant there was
cold object thrust against my temple
and an ominous click sounded in my
ears. Anyone who has had the muzzle
of a pistol meaning business thrust
into his face will understand my sensa-
ton.
l instantly let go my hold and fell
back few steps. So sudden had been
the change in Skinner from the de-
fensive to the aggressive that for a
moment l forgot about my pistol. When
| did think of it and got through
fumbling in my pocket, the rascal had

eluding me, however. Even had l dis

was not my purpose to raise disturb

uer also was unwilling to attract at

he really wished TO put me out of the
way, he would never have had a more
favorable opportunity than when he
so clevcrly rot the drop on me.

WAR WITH SPAIN POSSIBLE.
Gen. Miles View rs Expressed to q
London Newspaper Reporter.

Gen. Miles View rs Expressed to a
London Newspaper Reporter.
In conversation with a reporter for a
London paper yesterday afternoon, Gen.
Nelson A. Miles talked of his trip to Con-
stantinople. He said:
Il have had an extremely interesting
time in Europe. / have obtained much use
full information for the ordnance depart
ment. i have been devoting myself partic-
ularly to examining all the latest improve
ments in high-power ordnance for coast de-
lenses.
After leaving Greece the general con-
tinued, I'VE visited Naples and made a
careful inspection of the Armstrong gun
power guns are manufactured for the
Italian Spanish and Argentine govern
ments. We then went to Vienna where we
also visited the principal manufactures of
guns and other implements of war.
u had to hurry over here, owing to the
commission received from Washington to
represent our army at Queen Victoria 8
jubilee, but i shall return to the continent
later. 1t will be several weeks before /
complete my mission, 1 intend to make
a tour of Germany. l must see the Krupps'
works, as well as the principal manufac-
tories here in England and in Scotland.
THE only thing likely to cut short my
visit in Europe is that If were to go to
war with Spain over Cuba should have to
get over 10 the Other SIDE OF the Atlanuc
in quick time. Whether there will be a
war or not l cannot judge. but ii seems to
be possible at any rate, if not probable"
Have you received official notification
on the part you are to play in the jubilee
celebration% the reporter inquired.
No" the general replied. THE program
is not published yet and won't be for a
few daEs-probably not until Saturday.
Meanwhile my time is pretty fully occu-
pied with social engagements l dined last
night with United States Special Envoy
Reid. and am just going off now to lunch
with Ambassador Hay"
with your experience with great public
and state displays, general. what do you
think of the promise of this jubilee?' the
correspondent asked.
Judging from what / have heard the
general answered, Il am inclined to be-
lieve that ii will be one of the most i'm
pressive and finest ever known. The dec
orations in the streets are on a magnificent
scale. 1t will be a very great sight alto
geIher.'

MINISTER sToRER,s PLANS.

Wishes to Stop Determination
Against American Farm Products.
In an interview at New York yesterday
Minister Bellamy Storer said:
After the queens jubilee the United
States ambassadors to Great Britain and
Germany, Colonel Hay and Dr. White, re-
spectively, and I, as United States minister
to Belgium will take vigorous steps to
secure modification Of the laws against
American sheep. cattle and meat products,
which now mean a loss to American agri-
cultural interests of millions of dollars a
year."
Mr.. Storer was in his cabin aboard the
American line steamship ST. Paul. which
left for Southampton yesterday He will
proceed as rapidly as possible to his post.
''Ths action" continued Mr.. Storer, will
be simultaneous. The administration at
Washington Is determined to protect Amer
lean agricultural interests and to do its
utmost to have the dscriminative laws Of
European countries against our products
changed. The administration has called the
attention of all United States representa-
tives to the urgency of vigorous action.
Great Britain and Germany control Bel
GUM. and all three are Influenced to dis
criminate against American meats by the
agrartan element in their parliaments. They
pretend that our sheep, cattle and meats
are not sufficiently protected against dis
ease, and claim that they must have their
own inspection, which acts as prohibition
Of the importing Of our meat products.
The fact IS. our system of inspection Is the
most scientifically complete in the world.
Ihese laws are more administrative than
legislative. The trouble has been since
Bismarck's days of power, and although
the United States has tried to effect a modi-
ncatlon 1t has not succeeded so far.

ANOTHER PARIS BOMB SCARE.

internal Machine Exploded In Front
of the Strasburg Statue.
Another bomb explosion startled the city
Of Paris yesterday.
An Internal machine was exploded in
front of the Strasburg statue on the Place
de Ia Concorde. The balustrade of the
statue was somewhat injured, and the i'm
mediate locality was strewn with scrap
iron as far as the wall OF the Tuileries.
The internal machine appears to have
been an iron pot. parts of which were
picked up by the police at least 100 yards
from the statue.
The police found blood spots on the
ground near the statue, and have In knowl-
edge two men, who were. seen flying from
the vicinity OF the statue immediately
after the explosion. Up to midnight there
had been no arrests.

Deafening applause greeted Mr.. Cleveland

COMMENT ON THE TREATY
English Press Express Widely Different
Opinions on the Subject.
The Morning Post Alone Thinks That
England Should Interfere in the
Question in Any Way.

Most of the London morning papers con-
tanned editorials yesterday on the proposed
annexation of Hawaii.
The Times says: THE United States gov
eminent has made new departure from
its historical policy. The action of Japan
is hardly likely to retard the Senates
speedy acceptance of the treaty, for the
Senate at the present time will not pay
much Difference to the feeling of the coun-
try.
Such an acquisition of foreign DEEPEN
denotes will bring of necessity a new and
serious foreign policy, which cannot in all
cases be determined by an unlimited appli-
cation of Monroeism.
VIII America pursue the colonizing
course upon which she has now entered?
the case as wholly exceptional, but the
forces tending in an opposite direction are
very strong" S
Check to Japan's Ambitions.
The Standard says: 1.-The event will be a
severe check to the Japanese notion that
the Pacific islands are their ultimate heri-
tage, and it would be gracious act on
the part of the United States to allow ia
pans treaty rights to continue. Anyway,
it is scarcely likely that Japan's protest
can be made effective. Even the United
states would nave thought twice before
fighting had the japanese seized Hawaii.
The natives will be better off under the
American government than before. With
out doubt the Americans will soon build a
fleet to protect their colony"
En&land's Interest Sentimental.
The Daily Telegraph says: "No political
complications are likely to ensue, but it is
for the Americans to square annexation
with the Monroe doctrine. Englands in
terest in the event is only sentimental
Morning Posts Comment.
The Morning Post, on the contrary says:
President Mckinley should be satisfied to
shelve the matter, now he has brought it
before the public. Japan is not likely to
consent without struggle; England will
require quid pro quo, and the affair will
scarcely escape the notice of the Austral-
asians." .''''s -'.'-
United States Has Superior Claim.
The Daily News admits that the United
States has a superior claim, and expects
that the Japanese protests will be merely
diplomatic.

RETALIATION PROPOSED,
jamaica Hopes to bring About Rcci-
procity with the United States.

In anticipation of the passage Of the
pending tariff bill, the legislative council
Of Jamaica has taken up bill on its own
account. and according TO the view of Unit
&c States Commercial Agent Walton at
Pert Antonio. duties on articles imported
from the United States are to be largely in
creased, with the expectation that later
on reciprocity treaty may be negotiated.
The duties RENTED under the old re,.i-
proCity treaty of 1880 were not restored
after that treaty was destroyed through
the United States tariff act OF 1891, and II
is now believed that the duties will be re-
stored TO at least what they were before
that treaty went into effect.

RAPID WORK on THE TARIFF.
The Senate Receives the Annexation

The Senate Receives the Annexation
Treaty md Has an Executive Session.
The Senate made rapid work on the tariff
bill yesterday. There were no long speeches.
and the debate was Of snappy character,
which at times enlivened. but did not de-
lay, the serious work on the bill. Thirteen
pages were disposed of. carrying the Sem
ate through the agricultural schedule and
up to schedule H, relating to spirits. wines,
etc. During the day the paragraphs on
dairy products, farm products, fish, fruit
and nuts, meat products and miscellaneous
agricultural products were acted on. The
finance committee proposed many changes,
in the main advancing rates somewhat
over those heretofore reported. The COM
mittee was sustained on every vote, al
though contest was made on almost
every paragraph. Mr.. Vests motion to re-
store salt to the free list was rejected
yeas, "a: nays. 81. The important para
at the suggestion of Mr.. Allison. who
pressed hope that this duty on tea might
be dispensed with.
Annexation Treaty Received.
The treaty for the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands reached the Senate
chamber at o'clock yesterday. The Sem
ate at once went into executive session,
and as soon as the doors were closed the
message of President Mckinley accom-
paying the treaty and the treaty itself
were read to the Senate. AS soon as the
reading of the documents was completed
Senator Davis, chairman of the committee
on foreign relations, moved that the mes
sage and the treaty be made public. Sem
ator Gray objected to a vote on the mo-
ton, and, under the rules. a single objec-
ton carried the motion over. Senator Davis
gave notice that at the next executive ses-
sion he would press the motion for publ
cation, as all the essential facts and an
almost verbatim copy of the treaty had
been published in the press of the country.
There was some discussion as to when
the treaty might be considered. and Sem
ator White asked If it was the intention to
push it al this session, and, upon the reply
being made that 1t was possible, the Cali
fornia senator said:
Il desire to announce that L am pre-
pared to stay here all summer to prevent
the ratification of the treaty, which / con-
slider a very bad proposition.
III join you,'' said Senator Pettigrew of
South Dakota.
Executive Session.
The Senate in executive session has re-
committed the nomination of Myron H.
McCord to be governor of Arizona terri
tory to the committee on territories, and
instructed the committee to send for per-
charges which had been made against the
appointee.
