A MURDBRER's SURRENDER.
Broke Jail to See His Mother and Then
Returned 100 Miles.

Fort Scott. Kans., Feb. A MUIR
derer under sentence to be hanged, who
had escaped to point one hundred
miles from his nearest pursuer, volun-
tarily surrendered to the authorities
here today after notifying them of his
intention by long distance telephone.
The convict is George w. Finch, of
Kansas City, who followed young Frank
Swofford here from Paola, Kansas, and
murdered him for a few dollars, hiding
the body in the bushes.
Today Finch called up Sheriff Wheel
er by telephone from Lamont, Mo-, and
said he would be here on the evening
train to help mend the Jail bars that he
had broken.
Finch escaped from the combined
Federal and State prison here, on Tues
day last in company with seven other
prisoners. He says he rode from here
to Kansas City on a freight train; that
he lodged near police headquarters there
on Tuesday night, and that the next
day he went to visit his mother and sis
ter on a farm near Lamont. From the
time of his arrest, he said his one inten-
ton was to see them again. After
staying over night with them he went
to Lamont and asked a constable to ac-
company him back to prison. 1t was
then that he called up Sheriff Wheeler
and gave notice of his coming Wheel
thought Finch was bantering, and wired
the officer at Lamont to hold him. How
ever, when the Memphis train came in
tonight from Lamont, the sheriff and
three hundred citizens were there to re-
ccive the convict. While they were
waiting the murderer arrived over anoth-
err road, and smoking cigar, walked
with his escort, the Lamont constable,
leisurely up the street to the prison door.

WEATHER BUREAU IN WAR.
How This Institution Would Be Service

How This Institution Would Be Service
able Watching For an Enemy.
A we'll organized and very efficient
branch of the government, available for
service in war, is the United States
weather bureau, once known as the sig.
nal service and retaining much of the
character indicated by the old title.
Many Of the men in the service were
experts in signaling. and doubtless re-
tain some Of their old skill or could
very, readily get into practice again.
Mr.. .. w. Smith, the local forecast
official in Boston, was for many years
in the signal service, though most of
his men here came in under the later
regime. Weather bureau men, however,
are peculiarly fitted in the attachments
required for admission to the service,
for disseminating regularly and surely
information of the approach Of hostile
fleets or any other advan, ageous item
needed by the central war authorities.
Their flagmen along the coast could do
much Of the work Of patrol and could
probably develop skill in few months
signaling messages along coast or to a
central weather bureau office, from
which the news could be sent to Wash
ington.
The Office men are familiar with the
workings Of telegraphic lines and have
daily practice in work, only slight re-
move even now from what may be con-
ceived are the duties Of an army signal
corps. Aside from this, series of sta
tions are already in operation along the
Atlantic coast that could doubtless be
readily augmented, with auxiliary sta
tions enough to make an unbroken line

American Troops In Cuba.

The great temptation to our troops in
Cuba will be the varied fruits which
grow spontaneously, and which are eat
en- by the native Cubans with impuni-
ty, but which are very dangerous to the
unacclimated. Two peculiarities of the
Cuban climate are worth knowing. One
is that sunstroke is unknown among
the Cubans, and the second is that, un-
like most other tropical countries, there
is not a single venomous serpent or ami
NAL on the island. With proper santa
ry regulations rigidly enforced by mil
itary orders and camping our troops on
the highlands outside Of the cities there
will be no special danger to their health
when they are ordered to Cuba. -Phila.

If the accounts we have received are

''The passing at night into harbor
that was mined to encounter at dawn
the Spanish fleet, under the guns Of
heavy land Notifications, and that with
out reconnaissance or dilatory prelimi-
naries, was magnificent exhibition Of
pluck. 1t recalls Farragut and Mobile
bay. The fight must have been very hot,
and we can hardly, suppose, have es-
capped some losses in the gallant crews,
If not Of ships. I have an undaunted
faith in the American navy. Ship for
