knee by his little mistress
This is very like cOndoning a GRIM
inal offense." thought the Judge to
himself with grim smile, as he wiped
the tears from the poor little creatures
face and tried to interest her in the
contents of the brown paper parcel.
But the thoughts the tears had aroused
did not vanish with them. Arthur
Maxwell was no longer kind of i'm
personal representative of the criminal
classes. to be dealt with as severely as
the law allowed in the interests of So
ciety in general. He was the father of
this soft, plump, rosy-cheeked. blue
eyed, golden-haired little maid, who
would inevitably have to share, now or
in the future, the fathers humiliation
and disgrace For the first time, per-
haps, the Judge felt pang of pity for
the wretched man who at that moment
was probably pacing his cell in agon-
izing apprehension of the inevitable
verdict. A vivid picture started up be-
fore him of the prisoners white face,
twitching lips and tragic eyes. He re-
membered his own emotion when he
first sentenced a fellow creature to
penal servitude. Had he grown callous
since tlen? Did he take sufficiently iuto
account the frailty of human nature.
the brevity of life. the far-reaching. con-
sequences that the fate of the most in
significant unit of humanity must en-
tail?
At this moment the door opened, and
his wife, slender, graceful woman,
considerably younger than himself.
with refined. delicate face, came
quietly in.
"Ah,' exclaimed the Judge with a
sudden inspiration. II believe you are
at the bottom of all this. Agnes. What
is this child doing here?'
You are not veXed, Matthew" she
asked, half timidly.
Hardly that" he answered slowly,
"but what good can it do? 1t is impos-
sible to explain the situation to this
poor little mite. 1t was cruel to let her
come on such an errand. How did she
get here?"

1T was her own idea, ntirely her own
idea, but her mother brought her and
asked to see me. The poor woman was
distracted and nearly frantic with grief
and despair, and ready to clutch at any
straw. She was so dreadfully miser-
able, poor thing, and l thought it was
such pretty idea, IL couldn't refuse
her, Matthew"
But, my dear" expostulated the
Judge, you must have known that it

the child he began to examine one of

The Judge regarded her with friendly
eyes. He was so used to hearing ro-
mantle deviations from the truth from
the lips of imaginative witnesses that
frankness was ut all times delightful
to him.
Come" said he, with quiet laugh,
that's honest, at least. Well, why do

I'll give them to you, and Tommy
too'-the words We're accompanied by
very wistful glance at the fat puppy

papa to prison."
A silence, such rs precedes some aw.
full convulsion of nature, pervaded the
room for several seconds after this au.
dacious proposal. Even Tommy, as
though covering before the outraged
majesty of the law, buried his head be.
tween the Judges coat and vest, and
lay motionless except for propitiatory
wag of his tail

the Judge, grimly.

stern expression upon his lordship'.

A HAWAIIAN LANDING.
The British Government Wants the Privi
Iege for Cable to Connect Canada ans

The British Government Wants the Privi-
lege for a Cable to Connect Canada and
Australia.
New York, November ga Wash
ington dispatch to the Herald says:
1t is the desire of the British govern
ment that the United States shall au-
thorize British company to land a
cable on one of the Hawaiian islands
this cable to connect Canada and Aus
tralia. Such authorization is opposed
by the French government on the
ground that the laying of cable with
British capital would place Great Brit
ain in control of the Geographic sys-
tenn reaching around the entire world
| and that in the event of war before g
message could be transmitted the Brit
ish governments consent would have
to be obtained.
In case Great Britain were engaged
in hostilities, a diplomat pointed out
| it would practically be impossible fol
| France to send q message over any
cable which did not pass through Brit
ish territory, except that which con-
| meets France and Cape Cod.
NJ Patenotre has made a represen.
tation on the subject to Secretary
Sherman, who said he did not think
it would make much difference, so this
government could use the cable if de-
| sired and in case of necessity an op-
position line could be established. The
French officials, however, point out
that in case of war between the
government would find itself seriously
handicapped il the cable were under
British control
Information has reached here that
agents of the British company inter
ested in the cable enterprise and the
consul general Of Great Britain in
Honolulu are making a determined eff
| fort to secure recommendation from
the Dole authorities to the United
States that the British company be al
| lowed to land a cable. Mr.. Sewall, the
diplomatic representative of this gov
eminent to Hawaii, is wholly opposed
| to the granting of such permission on
the ground that such action would be
prejudicial to the interests of his gov.
| eminent. 1t is impossible for the Dole
| authorities to give permission to lay
a cable on account of the reciprocity
treaty between Hawaii and the United
States.

lowering FOUND GUILTY.
Court Thinks Reprimand Will Be Pun
ishment Enough.
Effect of HammOnd's Record - It
Gained Sympathy for the Officer
With His Judges, and His Twenty
Five Years of Good Service Also
Had Great Weight With Them.

Chicago, November 26.-The Tribune
to-day prints the following: "The
finding of the court martial is that the
accused is guilty as charged in the
specifications, and that he is repri-
manded by the reviewing authority.
The court is thus lenient in view of the
good character of the accused, as
shown in the evidence"
The foregoing is, according to the
statement of a man who knows, the
exact verdict of the court martial
which has just completed it's labors in
the case of Capt. Leonard A. Lover
ing, Of Fort Sheridan, charged with
brutal treatment of Private Charles
Hammond.
1t took the court martial one hour to
reach it's decision. The first ballot
resulted in seven members Of the court
martial voting guilty and five mot
guilty" The usual court martial is
composed of thirteen members, but
Major Randolph, who had been de-
tailed to attend, was unable to do so,
and so twelve men sat as jury to de-
eide the fate of Capt. Lowering.
There was a vigorous effort made to
have those parts Of the specifications
charging Capt. Lowering with cruelty
and brutality stricken out, but it was
finally decided to consider the charges
as they were set forth in the specifi-
cations, and the decision was reached
without making the changes.
A majority is conclusive in court
martial findings, and so, after the fact
of guilt was established, the only thing
to be considered was the measure Of
punishment. The officers had made up
their minds that Hammond's career as
a. soldier was not creditable, and this
weighed strongly in bringing them to
an agreement as to the punishment to
be melted out to Lowering.
The evidence showed that Capt. Low
ering had been connected with the
United States military service for
twenty-five years, and that his record
had been a good one. A number of
the officers came out plainly and said
they would not vote for finding of
guilty if Capt. Lowering was to be
given a humiliating punishment. 1t
was argued that Hammond's record,
when placed by the side of Capt Low
ering's, was of such character as
unavoidably to gain some sympathy
from the court for the officer.
The finding of the court martial is
secret. The members of the court are
sworn not to divulge the finding or
discuss it until it has reached the
proper authority, which, in this case,
is President Mckinley. The Lowering
court martial is the result Of direct
order issued by the President, and he
will be the reviewing officer in the

THE HIGHBINDERS MUST GO.

Refuse to Pay Further Tribute.

Chinese Merchants in san Francisco, Will
Refuse to Pay Further Tribute.
San Francisco, November 26.-The
Chronicle says the Chinese merchants
of this city have combined to suppress
the murderous high binder societies.
These business men have signed a COM
pact not to submit to further blackmail,
and without their usual income the
highbinders will be forced to leave the
city or go to work.
Over twenty highlander societies are
effected by this arrangement. While
the exact membership of these societies
is not known, it is expected to be in the
neighborhood of 1 500. All of these are
not fighting men, but they have been
affiliated with the Tongs and have been
furnished money when occasion de-
manded

Washington, November 26.-The rec
ord of the court martial in the case OF
Capt. Lowering has not yet reached
the War Department. 1t will not pass
through the hands of Gen. Brooke, as
would be the case in the ordinary
routine, but the General being re-
garded somewhat in the light of an
accuser of Lowering, the papers will
not come before him at all, either for
review or for transmission to Wash
ington from Chicago. The judge advo-
cate Of the court, it is expected, will
forward the papers directly to Judge
Advocate General Lieber at the War
Department, and the latter will sub
nit them with his endorsement to
Gen. Miles, who in turn will send the
case up to Secretary Alger, and even
tually it may reach the White House.
