ATENG ED HIS MOTHERS WR0NGG
Probably the Secret OF the KILLING OF Paddy
Wood by Jnmes Wood.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
VANCOUVER. Aug. PA drama in real life
has just been ended by the execution of James
Wood AT Nelson, b. c.. for murder. Tho three
principal actors are now in their graves, and the
strange story. full OF blood-curdling interest,
ended in murder and the gallows. 1t reads
true story is more terrible and unreal and i'm
probable than Hall Gaines curious creation.
Paddy Wood kept a blacksmith shop, where
he shod horses and did the rough iron work TO
Quired in the little mining town OF Nelson. Ono
night II few months ago he heard q noise In the
shop from his bedroom above. and, going down
stairs. WAS confronted by q man. who. without
speaking. shot the old blacksmith through the
breast. The murderer was recognized as James
Wood. Paddy Wood fingered for some time be-
to say that James Wood shot him down without
n word. Neither would the murderer speak 40
the gallows of the dead man or his identity. He
simply said with a smile. Don't draw the rope
too tight"
No one knows what occurred beyond the
| shooting in the little blacksmith shop that night,
but those who claim TO know say that Jim Wood
killed his own father to nvcnge his mothers
known as Paddy. was born in Louisiana and
aftcrward removed to Pennsylvania Here, 10
is said. the murdered man married. and tho re-
suit OF the union was one son. While tho boy
was yet young the father deserted his wife and
| child for II woman OF dissolutc habits. The
hcart.brokcn mother lived only long enough to
tell her sad life history to her son.
The boy made n vow thai; when he grew to
mans estate he would seek his father and
avengc his mothers wrongs. The curtain fell
on the drama when James Wood met Paddy
Wood in the blacksmith shop and sent home the
shot that robbed the old man OF his life.

WAR TALK IN JAPAN.
Government Is Urged to Send Warships
Across the Pacific.

Government Is Urged to Send Warships
Across the Pacific.
seattle, Wash, July lathe Jap
anese press is grinding out fierce edito-
rials ON the pending annexation treaty
with Hawaii. and if these bellicose par
agraphs represent the national spirit,
the war feeling is certainly rampant
among the Japanese. A number of late
papers arrived here yesterday from
Japan by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha
steamship Matsuyama Maru. They
devote columns to consideration of the
annexation question, and the tenor of
the majority favors resistance against
the proposed action of the United
States. The Japan Daily Mail of June
- says editorially:
cit ia certainly true that the little
band of Americans who have arrogated
the right to dispose of the Hawaiian
islands are usurpers; that they have at
tained their commanding position by a
trick and that they have not the slight
est moral title to the property which
they are now quietly undertaking to
hand over to the United States"
The Kokumin Shimbun contends
that Japan must handle the matter
with firm determination to shed blood
if need be, for the maintenance of the
rights and interests Of the $4,000 Jap
anese in Hawaii, together with the
prestige and honor of Japan. 1t does
not advise, however, that such strict
measures should be adopted until every
other method of pacification has failed.
The Toxic Shimbun says: 1.-THE war
ship Naniwa is quite capable of afford
ing the Japanese in Hawaii ample pro-
lection. If additional men-of-war are
to be sent anywhere, they should be
sent in the form of squadron to the
other side of the Pacific. Unless we
are determined to take that step, if
necessary, how can we effectually wipe
away the indignity to which We have
been subjected?''

THE LAST SESSION.
The Christian Endeayor Convention
Closed Its Labors.

San Francisco, July 14.-'The last
open sessions of the international Chris
tian Endeavor convention were held to-
day. The attendance at the morning
and afternoon meetings were large, and
at night those who managed to obtain
entrance to either of the pavjllions in
the evening were fortunate, for only
$4,000 could be accommodated, and
10000 more sought admission. Esti-
mates made by leading business men
agree that the people brough there by
this great gathering will leave not less
than $1,0OO,O 200 in our city. All the
leaders of the movement are pleased
with the success of their efforts, and
with the outlook for the futu1a of the
society.
With the end of the convention the
thousands of visitors, delegates and
others will take advantage of the op-
portunity and the cheap rates to visit

SWEPT TO HIS DEATH.
Frederick Kirn Caught by an Avalanche
on Mount Hood.

Portland, Or, July 14.-Frederick
Kirn, an Albina groceryman, met &
fearful death on Newton Clarke gla'
cier, on the north slope of Mount Hood,
yesterday afternoon. In the ascent OF
the mountain he strayed from the path
and was caught by mass of sliding
rock, which carried him 800 feet down
the steep side of the mountain to the
brink of a cliff, over which his body
was plunged to the rocks, 400 feet be,
low.
Kirn left Portland late last week,
and reached Cloud Cap Inn. He asked
Mr.. w. A. Langille, of the inn, several
questions about the ascent of the noun
tain, declaring his intention to make it
the following day. He declined the
services of guide. He had examined
the road with his field glasses, he said,
and would have no difficulty in follow
ing it all the way up.
He retired early and arose in the
morning at 4 O'Clock, drinking cup
of coffee before he started on the climb,
which he did at 4:30, all alone.
When at $50 yesterday afternoon
Kirn did not return, Mr.. Langille be-
came alarmed for his safety, and
started in search of him. He soon
found that he had good cause for his
alarm. Kirn's trail could be easily fol-
lowed to within 700 feet of the summit.
At this point it varies from the regular
trail, which it had thus far followed,
and led away to treacherous, rock
i 10 nf
ton Clarke glacier. Here Mr.. Langille
discovered, to his horror, that the un-
fortunate man bad been caught in a
mass of sliding rock, which he had
probably loosened with his feet, and
had been carried with it swiftly to the
brow of precipice below, over which
the burrows made in the snow by the
small avalanche disappeared. Work
ing his way cautiously, and with the
skill of the veteran mountaineer that he
is, to the edge of the cliff, Mr.. Langille
saw the body lying among the loose
rock far below at the mouth of the gla-
cier. Kirn's death had been swift and
terrible.
1t was then $50 and growing rapidly
dark. Mr. Langille, being all alone,
could not bring the body back to the
inn, and after nightfall would have had
to take desperate chances even to reach
it. Had there been any chance of the
mans being alive, he would have taken
the latter course, but no one could have
survived such a fall an instant.
He therefore returned to the inn and
telephoned the news to the police sta
ton. Captain Barclay, who was on
watch when the message came in, at
once dispatched Partolman Velguth to
Kirn's residence, 653 Albina avenue.
to acquaint his family with his fearful
fate.

there are in serious POSITION, owing

A committee of local autonomists of

BRITISH COLUMBIA INDIANS.
Trouble Between the Tribes on the
Vancouver Island Coast.

Trouble Between the Tribes on the
Vancouver Island Coast.
Victoria, July 12.-The troubles of
the sealing schooners with their Indian
crews on the west coast have not been
entirely settled yet, as when the steam
er Tees, which arrived today, called,
the captain of the Dominion cutter was
still trying to arrange matters.
The Tees brings news of the trouble
between the different tribes of Indians
on the coast. In years gone by, an ar
rangement was made with the chief of
the Nootka Indians and the Kitkathlas
that by paying bounty of one in
every seven skins taken the Kitkathlas
could come down and hunt sea offers
on the shores of the Nootka reservation.
The arrangement worked we'll while
the Nootka Indians were away sealing,
and the chief reaped rich harvest, but
now that the Nootkas are at home, they
Accordingly, when the Kitkathlas came
down to hunt as before, they sent out
a messenger ordering them to go home.
They at once refused. Another mes
senger was sent, telling them that un-
less they did so, the Nootkas would
come out and fight.
The affair did not come to blows, as
the tribesmen, following the example
set by civilized communities, held
big "wah-wah. H. Gillet, Indian
agent at Alberni, on board the Tees,
acted as judge between the opposing
factions, and decided in favor of the
Nootkas. There was lively time at
the pow WOW, and several times the
tribesmen nearly came to blows. The
Kitkathlas are much worked up over
the matter. When the Tees left they
were still encamped on the beach at
Nootka holding "wah wahs' among
themselves, Indignation meetings, as it
were. Two of them went to Kyuaot to
try to catch the Quadra to lay their
grievance before Captain Walbran.
Failing to get satisfaction from him,
they will come to Victoria to lay the
matter before the superintendent of In
dian affairs.

Gamers today by the announcement
that duty of per cent per fish would
be charged on all salmon brought in
from the American side. As most Of
the Gamers have fishtraps at Point
Roberts, on the American side Of the
line, the duty, if enforced, will be a
considerable item in the expenes of the
Gamers. 1t is claimed by the Gamers
that while they had no official notice
that the duty would not be charged,
verbal assurances were given both by
the local members of parliament and
officials of the marine and fisheries de-
partment that such course would not
be adopted. They were highly indig.
nant at the action of the government.

A Six Weeks, Debate.

The tariff debate began May 90, ON
which day Aldrich, on behalf of the
finance committee, made the opening
statement on the bill. The actual con-
sideration of the bill began the next
day, May 26, when the schedules relat-
ing to chemicals was taken up. The
debate has been continuous since then,
covering six weeks and one day. It
has been notable in some respects, al
though it has lacked many of the dra-
matte and oratorical features marking
past debates. From the outset the ad-
vocates of the bill refrained from set
speeches, and the discussion was mar
rowed to consideration of rates and
schedules, rather than general princi-
pies.
Aldrich's illness took him from the
chamber, and since then the bill has
been in the immediate charge of Alli-
son.
The opposition has been directed in
the main by Jones, of Arkansas, and
Vest, while White, Caffery, Gray and
Allen have frequently figured in the
debate.
The bill, as it goes back to the house,
re-enacts the antitrust sections of the
Wilson act, while the senate reciproci-
ty and retaliatory provisions are substi-
tuted for those of the house.
