The President Came Very Near
Sending a Warship to San Domingo
to Enforce q Claim.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia Washington
special 10 the Herald says: 1t has just be-
come known that President Mex 'nley
practically decided recently to send war
snip to San Domingo to compel the pay
ment oil claim, but reversed his decision
after more mature consideration. The
claim In question is that of Nathaniel
ID ebay OF this city against the Govern
ment OF San Domingo McKay's claim,
which is for $40 000 grows out of failure
OF The Government of San Domingo to
carry out contract with him, under
which the American built bridge across
the Ozama River. l understand that the
President was urged to compel It's colIec-
lon through the agency of a man-of- war.
Cabinet officer told me the President
at first ecided to take this action, but in
vestigation showed that the claim was not
one which should be forcibIy collected, as
there are several cases where Americans
who have suffered personal injuries have
claims now in course OF negotiation be-
tween the State Department of South
America and West Indian Governments
which. 1t is believed, should be given pre-
ference.
The attitude which the administration
mas assumed regarding several claims
peDdlng between this and foreign Govern
ments has shown that it is the intention
OF the President to pursue a strong policy
with reference to matters OF this character.
All claims filed in the department have
been given more or less attention,
and the only ones which have not been
vigorously pressed are those against Spain.
1t Is expected that negotiations will
soon be commenced between the United
States and Spain for the conclusion of a
treaty creating a commission to ad Indicate
claims for damages TO property owned in
Cuba by Americans.

to this unwritten law on account of the
death of his mother. In such an event
the New Years day reception at the
White House, which inaugurates the Of
hclal season at the capital. will probably
be dispensed with and the public recep-
tion to the diplomatic CORPS couple of
weeks later would have to be postponed.
Anything of purely personal social char
acter by the President and Mrs. McKiu-

Among The entertainments proposed for
the gay season al the White House was
ball in the east room, for which the mar
inc hand was to furnish the music. This
was to be an entertainment in honor of
Miss Mabel Mckinley and the young la

SAD circumstances this affair will not oe
included among the seasons festivities.
There can be no definite announcement
of the Presidents plans until he returns
from Canton after the funeral of his

down as certain. however, and that is no
business, unless it is OF the most pressing

Special Dispatch to THE CALL

HAZELHU RST, MISS, Dec. 12.-In an
open field without house in sight, on a
high hillside with crowd of eager men
waiting 70 avenge the terrible murder that
has taken place i'll Lawrence County, in
case a. conviction was reached by the
i'm Dromptu court, The scene lighted by
haring pineknot torches held aloft IN the
hands of the waiting mob, the three ne
groes-Giles Berry, Will Powell and Tom
Wallen-were standing trial for their
lives last night at Bankstone Ferry. Ac-
cording 10 reports received at this place
from a messenger who arrived from the
scene about 1 O'Clock this afternoon The
quickly constituted court did not arrive
at conclusion last night.
The very latest reports received here to-
night from Georgetown state that the mob
a o'clock found Will Powell guilty and
started for the scene of the killing to hang
him.
The negroes were arrested with Lewis,
who was lynched Friday at the time OF
the original crime, but were released on
their promising to appear next morning
as witnesses. They did not put in an ap-
pearance when The trial was ready to
begin and search was made for them bv
the mob. The search was successful, and
the negroes when caught were brought
back. Then the suspicion that they were
i'm plicated with Lewis in the original
crime arose. According TO their own
story they wero with Lewis the night
before.
he three men testified that they slept
in L cotton-house about mile and half
from the Smith house, where the horrible
butchery took place, and that Lewis was
with them all night; at least he was there
when they went to sleep, and was there
when they awoke the next morning.
There are about 200 men in the mob,
constituting a committee of the whole for
the trial, Reliable reports received here
to-day from messenger who left the
scene OF the trial state that the moo is
very moderate in its action, and has
cooled down considera bly,. TIE negroes,
though badly scared, MAINTAIN their de-

IN the price Of wheaton bread is accounted
for by the wheat crop, not OF Ireland, but
OF Americ', Russia, France, and even
lrd a.
Very much more important than these
crops is the yield of grass and hay in the
provinces, and here it is certain that the
season has been exceptionally fine. An
immense hay crop was saved by all those
who were diIigent and did not delay their
harvest till the weather broke for while
and caused loss. But this loss was the
direct result of lack of thrift and energy
alas! very frequent cause of poverty in
Ireland. In large field of barley which
l had reason to pass daily l saw more
weeds growing than Ishould have seen in
a whole countryside OF corn in Saxony,
and yet the farmer who tolerated this dis
reputable sight was reputed a good man
OF his class. Nor when the field was
reaped and a fine crop OF young grass
grew in the stubbles did he think OF send
ing fifty sheep to feed upon this excellent
pasture. But presume his excuse would
have been that he had plenty OF other
grass and that it was not worth while
feeding down this grass before he piowed
the field, and left plenty of material for
future weeds. Such is Irish farming.
The proof, however, that the hay crop was
not only ABUNDANT but we'll saved is to be
found in the pricH of hay in Dublin.
Numbers of outside cardrivers have
assured me that they never bought it
cheaper and better, and the long, fine and
mild autumn has not only supplied an
immense quantity OF after grass but it has
enabled people 10 keep horses and cattle
out in the fields which in severer seasons
would already be consuming the hay for
the winter
When we consider the price OF meat in
the Dublin market we may indeed wonder
that the grazIers do not make large
profits, but we are assured that these are
all secured by two middlemen, the
dealer and the butcher, who interpose be-
tween the farmer and the consumer, and
who certainly make their fortunes in
Dublin. How this double ring is 10 be
broken down; how the farmers are to OBJ
tain access directly to the consumers, is a
problem which many have attempted to
solve, but which up to the present time
has proved practically insolvable.
Summing up then, the whole survey of
the season, the general outcome seems TO
be this: In the province of Leinster,
where grazing and tolerably large arabic
farms predominate, the present year, in
spite of its untoward moments, its alarms,
its disappointments, is not very bad year.
The cry offamine indeed did not extend at
any time TO the Lelnster farmers Tor did
they JOIN in the mad cry OF an autumn
session OF Parliament for the purpose OF
saving them from starvation. The recent
very dry and mild weather has been of
great service, both o the growth of after
grass and to the easy conduct of farming
operations, and we may say with thank
fulness that so far cur country has been
saved from the horror OF q winter of
starvation.
